UK Financial Collapse: Only Whites Bank Accounts To Be seized. BILDERBERG LEAK
I don't know how true this is but it certainly wouldn't surprise me. Decide for yourself -
"In an amazing conversation with a member of staff from the Hotel near Watford in Hertfordshire where the Bilderberg meeting took place, a drunk member of the Grove Hotel kitchen staff was overheard in a night club telling an astonishing tale of how he listened in to a top security meeting in the hotel through an air-vent linked to a hotel pantry from an upper room. “It was a known secret to some of us that we could hear voices by listening to this vent which was in a small storeroom for tinned luxury food like caviar. During that very busy period I did not use the staff canteen preferring instead to be available for advice from the staff under my care especially temporary staff and so I ate lunch in the storeroom” he said. “Imagine the shock when I found myself eavesdropping on an important meeting of senior regime figures!”
The meeting was apparantly attended by bankers, influential cross-party parliamentary and media figures, all Jews (at one point he referred to someone in the room saying “We Jews” in the context of the delicate position of being at the heart of the running of the country) included Jeweller’s son Ken Clarke MP and James Harding head of BBC News. Most of the discussion went well over his head the staff-member admitted, the banking lingo in particular. But he said the meeting concerned a co-ordinated plan to seize the bank accounts of millions of British people; middle and higher earners, in the event of economic collapse.
Ken Clarke, who appeared be to acting as a liason between the Bank of England and the British government spoke of progress in a plan to co-ordinate bank accounts with census and the electoral rolls. The plan was that no money should be seized from the accounts of ‘vulnerable’ non-white minorities; Blacks, Jews and Asians, but the burden should rightly fall Clarke said on the bulk of the white population who would, given their track record of support for social justice, readily accept it. Clarke discussed selling that news to the public with Head of BBC News James Harding who claimed to represent all editors of UK news outlets via a Reuters-AP-NUJ co-ordinating group.
At one point Clarke is alleged to have mocked people who “are foolishly hoarding gold” in the event of financial collapse “Who do they think they will be selling the gold to? He-he, Right, you got it, bargain basement prices!”
At one point Harding spoke of a list he claimed would be drawn up in the event of economic collapse by the civil service which he said will include all figures the government would exempt, ‘the core establishment and apparatchics’ he called them, from the Royal family, aristocracy, senior think tank directors and staff, senior NHS, Media, farming, education and other such figures and what he called ‘vital propagandists’ jokingly saying that this will include ’our comedy wing’ naming Mark Steele, Jo Brand and Ricky Gervaise as examples. “We must have all our own people on board” he is reported to have said “To keep the sheeple on board and sell this as well as they always do such matters.”"

IS THIS THE FUTURE FOR THE INDIGENOUS POPULATION OF NOT-SO-GREAT BRITAIN ?
(Editor’s note: Colin Flaherty has done more reporting than any other journalist on what appears to be a nationwide trend of skyrocketing black-on-white crime, violence and abuse. WND features these reports to counterbalance the virtual blackout by the rest of the media due to their concerns that reporting such incidents would be inflammatory or even racist. WND considers it racist </em>not<em> to report racial abuse solely because of the skin color of the perpetrators or victims.) Videos linked or embedded may contain foul language and violence.; As pundits pondered whether calling George Zimmerman a “white a** cracker” was a racial epithet, black mob violence in other parts of the country proceeded apace last week, almost unnoticed.
In Niagara Falls, a black mob of 20 attacked a mother and her family on a picnic. They hurled racial slurs and told them they did not like their “Puerto Rican (expletive) music. The Niagara Gazette described what happened next as a “fight,” although many would call it an assault. Her son was punched and kicked by several people and fell to the ground. When her son picked himself up, the woman said a man from the group pulled out a pistol and pointed it in her son’s face. She said someone in the group was yelling, ‘Shoot him … shoot him.’
The woman said the man with the gun, later identified as Dionte D. Dolson, began working the pistol’s slide as if the pistol misfired or didn’t work properly. The woman said she ran to her son as she was in fear for his life and Dolson pistol whipped her twice in the head, causing two knots to her head. Two people were arrested. Just a few hours earlier a few hundred miles away in Pittsburgh, a mob of black people “savagely beat” a white teenager, then stole his shoes. All on video. All the while screaming “World Star. World Star, ” apparently a reference to popular hip hop website that often features videos of black-mob violence.
District Judge Jim Motznik promised the local CBS affiliate that this kind of violence was over in his town. He “guaranteed it.” Which is of course the same promise other Pittsburgh authorities made when a mob of black people attacked a Pittsburgh teacher last year. That happened two times, actually, with both incidents caught on video. As well as other episodes of black mob violence involving football players at Pitt. And a good old fashioned race riot at a Pittsburgh high school. On video.
A few days before and 2,500 miles away, a black mob attacked a white woman in a busy plaza in downtown Seattle. As a dozens of people looked on, doing nothing, at least three black women repeatedly punched and kicked an unidentified woman in the face. Knocking her down, sending her to the hospital streaming blood from her forehead. While their compatriot caught the action on tape.
“It’s unbelievably violent and shocking. We need to find the attackers, they need to be arrested,” said a police spokeswoman to KIRO TV news.
A curiously similar incident was also captured on video last year in Seattle. A mob of black people beat a hapless bus rider waiting for her ride, this time in front of curiously detached security guards.
In Chicago, this episode of black mob violence even has some local police shaking their heads. In the upscale Lakeview neighborhood, a black mob surrounded and beat two men who had pursued and captured the men who stole their iPhones.
While they waited for police, “at one point, between 15 and 20 people surrounded one victim as the two alleged attackers continued to beat him,” said the DNA Info news site. “A witness on his way home from a party stumbled upon the scene.”
“He was knocked out, completely,” said the 36-year-old witness. “He was on the ground, right by the alley. One guy hit him in the face, and another guy kicked him. It looked like he was going to die or something.”
Two men were charged with assault and “mob action.” Black mob violence is an increasingly common feature of life in that part of town, say members of the Chicago police department. As is its denial at the highest levels of local government and media.
Back in Philadelphia on Tuesday, a mob of black people followed a man onto a bus, beat him, kicked him and stomped on, then ran off. All on video.
In Milwaukee, a local TV reporter started off her segment on a recent case of black mob violence by saying “most of the people I talked to in the neighborhood say they hadn’t seen a huge fight. Recently.”
It might be a bit of a secret to people outside of Milwaukee, but inside that city, locals know it as a place of frequent and intense racial violence. Many of the attacks are on video and documented in “White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence and how the media ignore it.”
By Milwaukee standards, this “massive” fight video was tame: Dozens of black people, fighting, creating chaos. No one died.
Just a few nights after that, three black women attacked a white female saxophone player at a public place in Milwaukee because they objected to her playing Minnie the Moocher.
They said because she was white, they did not want her to play it, reported the local Fox affiliate.
Meanwhile, police departments all over the country are getting ready for one of their busiest days of the year for racial violence: The Fourth of July. Last year, more than a dozen cities experienced widespread black mob violence, most after the fireworks were over.
“Muskegon Police officers had to use a fogger to disperse a large fight at Fifth Street and Southern Avenue around 9 p.m. on Tuesday, June 25, after a couple of males inside the high school gym had been fighting and were kicked out.”
“Officers have had to break up fights around the facility every night since the program started.Muskegon Heights is 75 percent black and the per capita income is $11,000. Commenters to local news sites say the people involved in the mob violence are black.
“Police were dispatched to the high school on a call of a fight outside the facility around 8 p.m. on Thursday, June 20. Patrol officers intervened in a potential large fight between a group outside the school, many of them from the Muskegon Heights area.
“When the group left the high school area and headed back toward Muskegon Heights, patrol officers located the group armed with clubs and concrete that police believe would have been used in some sort of altercation if they hadn’t intervened.”
For the rest of the summer, cops are putting miscreants on notice: They are using pepper spray and other mob control devices to root out the “bad apples.”
In Baltimore, police are promising a “dramatic” increase in law enforcement through the Fourth of July because of a “spree of deadly violence.” Some of it connected to black-mob violence, including one incident last week involving 100 black people fighting and creating chaos.
Police called it a “community altercation,” but did not mention race.
Three people were shot. According to the Baltimore Sun, which often runs editorials criticizing any public official if he or she notices the members of the mob are all black, “Police officials vowed to deploy up to three times the number of officers typically on the streets over the weekend, with the city’s patrol forces being joined by officers from the Maryland State Police, the Maryland Transportation Authority and the Baltimore City Sheriff’s Office.”
Black mob violence is a regular feature of life at the upscale Inner Harbor during Fourth of July celebrations over the last ten years.

AN HONEST ISRAELI JEW TELLS THE UNVARNISHED TRUTH ABOUT ISRAEL
And our Politicians and Political Parties are all "FRIENDS OF ISRAEL".
If you want to know why Britain is being destroyed and it's INDIGENOUS POPULATION being treated as 3rd Class citizens in OUR HOME LAND just look at which people are in real positions of Power and where their true loyalties lie.
Wonder why we can't send Immigrants, Legal or Illegal back? it's due to the Immigrants who have been allowed to sit in Positions of Power and preside over who can and can't stay in Britain.
Judges who allow Foreign Criminals to stay in Britain. (LINK)

MILITANT JIHADISTS IN SYRIA BEHEAD TWO CHRISTIANS.................GRAPHIC VIDEO
Two Christians, one of them a priest, have been beheaded by militants because they were suspected of cooperating with the Syrian military.
A video uploaded to the internet yesterday shows two men with their hands bound, surrounded by dozens of people, many of them armed and cheering in celebration.
Obama backed rebels, western backed rebels. The knife probably says made in the usa on it. How could anyone back these people and have any moral justification for it? The video is super graphic so if your squeemish or anything like that, don’t watch it. Iraq war redux

----------------------
And the CONservatives and the LIBLABS want to arm these evil bastards.
William Hauge, David Cameron and the rest of the Traitors are just as responsible for the deaths of these two Syrian Christians by giving aid to the EVIL TERRORIST CANNIBALS who take delight in beheading another Human Being and who eat the hearts of those they have just murdered.
I don't get it though.
The Islamists are supposed to be the enemy of Israel yet they don't attack Israel or Jews. They wage war on their own kind and anyone in between, backed and supported by the AXIS OF EVIL - Britain, America, Israel France etc to wage war on stable Countries and turning them into hell holes.
Assad wasn't murdering his people or oppressing them.
Where did the so called Syrian Free Army (TERRORISTS) come from ?
Most of them are Foreign Jihadists (TERRORISTS), mainly those used to overthrow Gaddafi in Libya along with ISLAMIC TERRORISTS from all over the world and Assad is doing what anyone would do if their country was attacked by Foreign Mercenaries.
All this was planned years ago by Evil Men in positions of power with the aim of weakening the strongest countries around Israel so it will be easier for Israeli Imperialism to take over their Countries after they have been softened up and worn down by these Western backed ISLAMIC TERRORIST.
We are Governed by an elite with no morals or conscience who take their orders from the Israelis running OUR COUNTRY.
The Jihadist TERRORISTS in Britain are already beheading OUR INDIGENOUS POPULATION IN OUR OWN COUNTRY but do you hear anything on the news ?
It's time to start removing Islamic immigrants and closing Mosques down in Britain before any more of our people lose their heads to the NUTTERS OF GOD.
BRITAIN DOES NOT BACK OR SUPPORT TERRORISTS OF ANY KIND - TO CAMERON AND HAUGE - DO NOT SEND ANY AID TO ISLAMIC TERRORISTS.
Spend the money on Britains Pensioners instead.

An introduction to my experience with the Jewish Community by Jim Stone
This page has been altered from the original, which had the information about the court cases. This page now has information about attempts on my life with regard to the Jewish community. These attempts on my life have happened for more than one reason, with the most recent being the Fukushima report.
Jim Stone, Freelance Journalist, 1/24/12During a period of time spanning from late 2005 to early 2008, I attended Jewish services in Montreal Canada and then in Vancouver Canada with the stated intention of converting (it was, in part, an investigation to see if all the stories of evil were true). At first they were a little stand-offish, but when I arrived in Vancouver they hired a rabbi (Schachar Orenstien) to teach me.
He was a very good man. The synagogues were close together, and the one I attended was very small (Shaarey Tefila) and often had a difficult time of forming a minion (the minimum required to make proceedings formal), and I would run across the street to a larger synagogue (Beth Hamidrash) to call people to ours so enough people would be present.
Well, the high holidays came, and for the first time I got to go through ALL OF IT. It was then that I discovered that there was a special prayer book that came out, a book which NO OUTSIDER is allowed to see. It costs hundreds to attend the High Holiday services, and it is a ticketed event with security guards. In this special prayer book there was a prayer called the Kol Nidre prayer. This prayer is FILTHY. It's like an oath to Satan himself, where you basically say to God that you intend to lie and not honor contracts during this year, that you should be forgiven for lying and not honoring contracts in the last year, because you never agreed to be honest in front of God and therefore cannot be punished!.
None of the online versions say it as clearly and succinctly as it is in that book. There is no mistake that you fully intend to lie and cheat, and expect to get away with it.
Well, I am a man of honesty and honor, and even though joining the Jews would have no doubt been key to launching my music career,
I was so disgusted by this prayer I began to have doubts about wanting to be Jewish.
Well, my doubts were CONFIRMED. After a small spat with someone at Sharrey Tefila a few weeks after the holidays, I went across the street and attended services at Beth Hamidrash for a day. As preparation for what will come next, I need to mention how various rabbis spoke about a Jewish victory over mankind, that was soon on the horizon but not guaranteed because the Internet was messing things up. I never got more detail than that. And, I must say that before every service they make good and sure they know if there are guests present, non Jewish people, ect, and if there are any unconfirmed people attending services, they change the nature of the service. They don't care how many get messed up (they allowed me to mess up 2 consecutive years of services).
WELL,
When I went over to Beth Hamidrash, (they all REALLY liked me over there) a special speaker arrived from out of town (as is the norm) and the call went out "do we have any visitors" and one man said NO, another said, well, what about HIM? - pointing to me, and another said No, he is not a visitor, he is one of US. And another man said, Yes, he is one of us, and the speaker said are you SURE? and they all chimed in and said YES, HE IS ONE OF US. And then, I got to see a REAL Jewish service.
The speaker cautiously proceeded.....
The Jews, in violation of 501C3 status, use their religious services as political and war planning venues. He spoke about how they own the media, the medical, the education, the legal, EVERY aspect of Canadian Society, and especially American society, European society, HE SAID IT ALL, that they intend to gain victory over us to enslave mankind, and that they needed to use their "EXTREMELY DISPROPORTIONATE INFLUENCE" over society to gain absolute victory. "You all have your jobs, your assignments, and you must use our EXTREMELY DISPROPORTIONATE INFLUENCE to make things go a Jewish way, and gain our ultimate victory over mankind".
I kept a straight face despite being absolutely appalled, every bad thing I had ever heard about Jews was confirmed in a single speech, and I left the Jewish community. I was blown away by how accurate people like David Duke are with regard to the Jews.
They did not leave well enough alone. Simply having me get as far as I was with them and then leave was enough for them to put a hit out on me.
I attended an event with a girl I started dating, which she got invited to out of nowhere. She was not aware of anything like it, and did not know what to expect. We went. It was a little strange, it cost money to set up and was strange. Something was not right about it. They had great food there though, and I was offered some wine. It was horrible and bitter. I was shocked. there was a woman from one of the synagogues there in the food preparation area. I thought nothing of it though.
I was fine for about 3 days, and then started getting very strange muscle cramps. On day 5 they were severe. Day 6, I could barely walk, and was going into spasms. On that day, I got a very strange e-mail. It is a series of quotes from various books, assembled to form a message. This no doubt was to hide the writing style of the sender. This took a LOT of work to assemble. I will break it down, following the message. I knew when I received this that I had been poisoned as punishment for leaving the Jewish community, and they did not expect me to survive it. They knew when the poison would be taking full effect. The message follows:
A sweet face. She forbade her wearing cotton caps, just the trite, wellknown fact that a murderer so near the border, the assistance of this monk the position of the south was in this respect melted butter, thus flay'd pigs commonly. 6. No one told mrs. Samuel bertram of the change of plan, each buried in its bosom. These may have taken their of electronic works that could be freely shared you did, mon ami. Since then, you have changed of zoology. Unhappily you have crushed this fine such service.and now begone. If there be half stern fortitude which enabled him to hide the that we ought to do something about it try to a word for the act of complaining about something he entered one of those ginpalaces, which, like.
THAT is what a death threat message looks like, Now let's dissect it
"A sweet face. She forbade her wearing cotton caps, just the trite". - This is in reference to the fact that the girl I started dating was a Shia Muslim, who did not wear hijab, and that they had no respect for the relationship.
"wellknown fact that a murder so near the border, the assistance of this monk" - This could be a reference to the fact that they considered me murdered, and I was close to the border of America, and possibly the rabbi who taught me had something to do with it.
"the position of the south was in this respect melted butter, thus flay'd pigs commonly" - This is obviously a reference to America, which I left behind, was a land of melted butter which flayed pigs (arabs) often.
"6." - This is telling. 6 happens to be the most sacred number in Judaism, especially 666. Believe it or not - it is true, and it ties into the 6 points of the star of david, which when made out of two overlaid triangles has six points, six lines, and six triangles within it.
"No one told Mrs Samuel Bertram of the change of plan, each buried in its bosom" - I never told ANYONE in the Jewish community I was leaving, and never gave an explanation as to why.
"These may have taken of their electronic works that could be shared you did, mon ami" - This is a reference to the fact that I built a beautiful web site for the Rabbi, as a gift.
"Since then you have changed of zoology" - This means that after I left the Jewish community, I changed and became an animal.
"unhappily you have crushed this fine such service" - This is in reference to the fact that the Rabbi abandoned the web site, and refused to use it.
"and now begone. If there be half stern fortitude which enabled him to hide the that we ought to do something about it try to a word for the act of about something" - I was very physically fit, and able to withstand very tough situations, which the Jews were aware of. They gave me nothing to complain about, this is true, they were VERY GOOD TO ME. Begone is obvious - I am dead.
"He entered one of those ginpalaces, which, like - This is a reference to Islam, where gin "jin" palace literally means a house of demons, from an Islamic perspective. So they said I left them and entered a house of demons, and liked it (because of the Shia girlfriend).
I wondered for a second if it was just a stupid e-mail, but realized it fit my situation exactly. There was not a line in that e-mail that did not apply to me, and it followed the sequence of events perfectly. Add that to the fact that I was doubling over with cramps and it was obvious - I had been poisoned.
I got very lucky with finding a cure. It was as if God handed it to me.
I went to Google, and entered my symptoms, and the word poisoning. (Delayed, cramps, delerium, poisoning) and the first link was to a web site that listed my symptoms and timeline perfectly. It was a slow acting alkaloidal poisoning that would be fatal due to extreme cramping to death - a hideous death, if not cured. I then typed alkaloidal poisoning antidote into Google, and it went to another web site, which had antidotes to various poisonings. (A few days later I tried this, and did not ever find those sites again). I am not sure exactly what I typed.
The antidote site said that pickeling salt, and vinegar, in conjunction with ammonia fumes would cure it. SO, I ate a large jar of pickles, and the cramps let off a little, and then took a bowl full of ammonia window cleaner, put it in a box on the floor, draped a towel over the opening of the box, put my head in and went to sleep. When I woke up I was PERFECT, with no sign of poisoning at all (other than the ickiness from the ammonia). I thought back on where the poisoning could have happened, and the only place was that event I went to, with the bitter wine. It all fit.
SO, I was back to normal. And I made a mistake. When you have a hit out on you, NEVER get into a routine schedule out in public. I did. I got into the routine of taking the same skytrain stops at the same time every day. About a week and a half into this, I noticed a young man who attended one of the Orthodox synagogues coming up the steps as I went down, and right as I went past him he pulled out a black canister and sprayed it in my face. Whatever it was had no odor or taste, it was like a clear gas. He timed it perfect, and I was breathing in at exactly the wrong time and sucked in the full blast. Again I noticed nothing immediately, but made it a point to remember that incident.
A week went by, and I had all but forgotten the event. But I started getting copious amounts of clear phlegm coming up all the time out of my lungs, and my nose started running uncontrollably. There was no fever, no muscle cramps, no sign of flu or infection, just gobs and gobs of phlegm, a good blast ever 20 feet of walking, and I had to keep a large sputum cup by the bed. On the worst three nights, I laid on the floor gasping for breath, trying to overcome the phlegm and was not sure I would survive those nights. But I started to come out of it a little. It lingered on and on, with copious phleghm for over a year, and about a month into it I lost my hearing. My hearing was GONE, attenuated by well over 100 DB. I could not use a phone, I could not hear even a nearby car horn. People had to scream into my face, and by combining what little sound I could hear with their lip movements, I could make out what they were saying.
But there was something even stranger about this - after it faded off a little, I noticed that whenever I had periods of deep analytical thinking the phlegm came far worse, or bursts of emotion would make it come a lot worse. I was in this phase when I met my wife, who is a Doctorate of Pharmacology. She diagnosed the symptoms as a neurological poisoning, and said I was not likely to ever get over it fully. Fortunately two years after the initial spraying, I was over it.
Things settled down for a while, and THEN I did the Fukushima report. While doing this report, I was stalked constantly, had the bios to two cell modems re-written by hackers, destroying them, had my hard drive woodpeckered, and after publishing the report someone would go out into a field directly adjacent to my house and shoot a shotgun 7 times exactly at midnight for a month straight. If that's not a death threat, what is?
Most recently, my wife (Sarah Stone) and I were proceeding on I-15 southbound in Salt Lake City after spending a day there, and a mile before the 4500 south off ramp, a red cabbed semi with an unmarked trailer snuck up on us with his lights turned off, hooked up with the last four inches of the side of the rear of the car, on the bumper, and put the car into a spin. I noticed the rear of the car drifting sideways - there was no sound of impact because it was such a gentle nudge, and I looked and saw him back there in the dark. I knew I had to get ahead of him, so I floored it. The spin was well established, and the ONLY way for the car to go if I hit the brakes would be to get eaten by the semi. The headlights then came on, and I kept it floored, hoping the car would not roll.
Keeping it floored was the thing to do. It got me out in front of him far enough to avoid being mowed under, and with the tires screaming and burning rubber forward, I managed to pull the skid into the HOV lane and out of the path of the semi. I was then perfectly backwards on the freeway, with a forward burnout going (had I let off the gas it would have stalled the engine and probably blown the transmission), as the semi went past me. Keeping it floored kept perfect floatation going, and the car proceeded in it's spin in the HOV lane. Right when I was coming out of the full 360 I let off the gas, never hit the brake, and ended up going perfectly forward two lanes over from where I was to begin with. The semi floored it up to about 90, and still having about 60 mph of momentum I took off after it. I then thought, well, he could be dangerous, and there is probably minimal damage to the car. So I backed off, pulled off at 4500 south and inspected the car. The only damage was a small indentation in the side of the rear bumper where the semi hooked up.
Ever heard of all the famous controversial people getting killed in car/semi accidents? Most people hit the brakes when something goes wrong, and that is the WRONG THING TO DO when a semi nudges your rear wheels out. You will get sucked under and crushed if you hit the brakes at that critical moment, yet that is the most likely thing for people to do.
My wife published the article Tainted Nightmare and they would have gotten 2 for the price of one. And this method, the gentle nudge, leaves such a small mark on the vehicle it would go totally unnoticed in the carnage. It would simply look like you lost control and got eaten by a semi. There obviously is no way to prove this event was intentional, but in light of everything else? . . . . . . . . .
I have no doubt at all that my present legal situation, where I face imprisonment for up to 15 years over NOTHING is directly related to the Jewish community, which is PISSED about me leaving them and doubly pissed about the Fukushima report and the article Nuclear Blackmail. NO DOUBT AT ALL. And since they tried to kill me twice already and failed, and possibly a third time, this new method of getting me lost in the vast American prison system is no doubt the new modus operandi.
And there is more, much more. All the times I have been followed, staked out, sabotaged, intercepted, blown off the web, the list is ENDLESS. I need protection. I have GOT TO find a new place with a new identity. It's the only way I will survive.

A lot of things make sense when you take into account what is happening to BRITAIN and its INDIGENOUS POPULATION.
We're going to have to fight back one day.
The sooner the better as the longer we leave it the harder it will be to win OUR LANDS and FREEDOMS back from the ZIONISTS CONTROLLING OUR COUNTRY, through POLITICS, MEDIA, EDUCATION, JUDICIARY etc, etc, and the ENEMY THEY HAVE ALLOWED INTO OUR HOMELAND.
Prepare yourselves and your families for the worst as the ZIONISTS will not just roll over.
Why do you think British Soldiers are being killed in Foreign (Enemies of Israel) Lands and our Armed Forces are being decimated.
Could it be so it will be even easier to defeat us ?

BRITAIN - A HAVEN FOR FOREIGN CRIMINALS, PEADOPHILES, RAPISTS, MURDERERS ETC.
This is an article taken from Russia Today (RT)
http://rt.com/news/uk-immigrants-criminals-deportation-837/
Which shows how low this country has sunk.
Britain in the 1980s would never have allowed the scum of the world to come here, claim benefits, Free housing, health and money and education.
But not now the Country and the Indigenous Population have been betrayed by the LibLabCon party.
Read and be disgusted -
In the UK, which is often called a haven for foreign criminals, ministers are under growing pressure to take measures to close a loophole in the law that allows to offenders to stay in the country even after committing serious crimes.
In mid-November, the Home Office officially recognized for the first that foreign criminals facing deportation from Britain are creating “a network of children,” starting families in order to stay in the country.
The official recognition of the growing problem has strengthened calls to reform the Human Rights Act in order to ensure that the UK can deport those considered to pose a threat to the public.
“The right to a family life is not an absolute right, and must not be used to drive a coach and horses though our immigration system,” Home Secretary Theresa May argues.
Home Office rules state that any such individual who is jailed for more than a year should be deported, but many judges are appealing to the Article 8 of the Human Rights Act.
An innocuous-sounding element in the HRA means that having children can stop illegal immigrants being kicked out of Britain – no matter what they have done.
Paul Houston knows what it is like to have your family destroyed. His 12-year-old daughter Amy was killed in a hit-and-run driver – it was an Iraqi man who had been banned from driving.
“As she was crossing the road, Mr. Ibrahim, the driver of the car that ran her over, hit her and carried her on the bonnet of the car, and she became trapped under the wheels of the car, and he basically fled the scene and left her to die trapped under the wheels of a motor car,” the victim Paul Houston says.
Amy’s killer, Aso Mohammed Ibrahim already had a string of minor convictions even before he mowed her down and fled.
But because he subsequently fathered two children by a British woman, he still lives in the UK. It is Article 8 that keeps him there.
In May this year, it was revealed that nearly 4,000 foreign criminals were set free from detention centers because it was decided they could not be deported within a reasonable timeframe. Among them were dozens of rapists, murderers and pedophiles. Separately, last year nearly 600 people used the Human Rights Act to avoid deportation, the vast majority citing the right to a private and family life.
In the case of Amy’s killer, a series of bungles and delays by the authorities meant that, by the time Ibrahim came up for deportation, he appeared to have established a family. Despite flimsy evidence about his parenting intentions, he was allowed to stay.
Yet human rights campaigners argue Britain’s status as a haven for the persecuted is sacred.
“These are rights that hark back hundreds of years. They’re embedded in international law, adopted after the Second World War to make sure we always grounded our own society on those principles we hold dear,” says Angela Patrick, director of Human Rights Policy.
But for a grieving father like Paul, that stance is missing the point.
“What we have, especially with Article 8 of the Human Rights Act, is criminals, terrorists, murderers, rapists, drug dealers, all using the Human Rights Act as a shield to hide behind, and to allow them to stay in the country. I don’t have a problem with genuine asylum seekers – I don’t think anyone has – but we have people abusing it, and that’s what needs to be addressed,” says Paul Houston.
Amy was Paul’s only child. He now lives alone, spending his time campaigning against Article 8, and wondering why the rights of his daughter’s immigrant killer outweigh his own.
Oddly enough, but even a cat and its criminal owner have catapulted the issue into the headlines.
The Home Secretary has seized on claims that an illegal Bolivian was allowed to stay in the UK country because of the emotional trauma of separating him from his pet. Not quite true, but it got people talking, and noticing much more serious cases, including a rapist who successfully argued asylum over his social life, and a killer who lived with his parents.

AGRICULTURAL SETASIDE - DESIGNED TO STARVE THE BRITISH IN THE UPCOMING FOOD FAMINE?
Must Britain now Dig for Survival?
Warnings of world food shortages are gathering pace and the horsemeat scandal has highlighted the provenance of food
As a nation that imports 40 per cent of all the food we consume, Britain is in
a precarious position if the supply chain breaks down due to poor harvests,
rising international costs and competition from other countries clamouring
to buy up dwindling stocks.
It was revealed earlier this month that our wet winter and freezing spring
have led to the poorest potato yield (down 20 per cent on last year) since
the drought of 1976. Jersey Royals will be at least a month late because of
tardy planting due to adverse weather, and the price of a 2.5kg bag of white
potatoes has risen by 43 per cent – up from £1.35 this time last year to
£1.93. The carrot harvest has been hit by the waterlogged ground, peas and
tomatoes have been affected by low levels of light, and Britain will also
need to import more wheat than it exports for the first time in a decade.
It’s a bleak picture when the price of the weekly shop is already steadily
rising. All the same, can it really be true, as agriculture minister David
Heath claims, that unless householders start Digging for Victory (Survival,
even), we will face empty shelves as supermarkets struggle to import enough
food to feed us? Alarmingly, it would appear so.
“I am delighted that, at long last, a minister has been upfront about what is
a very serious issue, because we urgently need to get our act together, but
shame on the Government for dragging its feet,” is the vehement response
from Tim Lang, Professor of Food Policy at City University, London.
“The last Labour government, of which I was no fan, belatedly realised the same thing in 2007-08, when food prices rocketed, and they ended up with a policy called Food 2030, published in 2010. But the Coalition came in and abolished it, so we’ve lost three years.”
According to Prof Lang, all assessments of the world’s food systems reach the same damning conclusion, namely that “a big crunch is coming”. Falling oil reserves – needed for fertilisers – climate change and a soaring global population are coming together in a perfect storm.
“The only arguments are over what to do about it,” he says. “Some say that new technology will address the problem, but I’m one of those who say it can’t, because we would need four planet Earths to eat like the Americans and two to three planet Earths for us all to eat like Northern Europeans. What we need to do is radically change our diets.”
At present, 50 per cent of all grain grown in the world is fed to livestock. A dramatic reduction in meat and dairy consumption would free scarce land and resources for plant cultivation.
Consumer concerns over buying genetically modified foods may be swept aside by the need for large-scale production, and indeed this Government plans to lobby other European Union countries to lift current restrictions on the use of GM technology.
But a key factor in securing our food supply lies, quite literally, in growing our own, and public figures are leading by example. When David Cameron was elected Prime Minister, he and his wife took on the vegetable garden planted in Downing Street by former residents Gordon and Sarah Brown. Their green-fingered foray was made with the encouragement of the American First Lady. When she arrived in Washington, one of Michelle Obama’s first projects was to dig a vegetable patch on the White House lawn, so that she could invite local children along to sow and harvest vegetables.
“We are all down in the dirt,” wrote the novice gardener in her book American Grown: The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America. “There is no hierarchy, no boss and no winner. It is almost impossible to mess up and we make it clear that gardening isn’t about perfection. It is, however, about re-establishing a seasonality to our diets and would certainly put paid to the environmental scourge of air‑freighted strawberries in December and Peruvian asparagus in March.”
It may come as a shock to learn that a National Farmers’ Union report shows tomatoes, cucumbers and spring onions are among several British fruit and vegetable crops that have been labelled “endangered” due to a significant fall in national self-sufficiency over the past 10 years. A further four crops – Brussels sprouts, lettuce, leeks and cauliflower – are “at risk” due to a steady shrinkage in production and consumption.
“This is not about growers versus retailers, but we have to bring an end to damaging activities or risk losing huge swathes of British horticultural production,” says NFU deputy president and potato grower Meurig Raymond. “Some retailers are making efforts to invest in the future of British farming, but our figures show that all too often this is being undone in pursuit of higher profits.
“Unless action is taken now, we could see less home-grown fruit and vegetables on supermarket shelves. This will mean more imported produce, less choice and ultimately higher food prices due to a lack of investment in farming.”
Elsewhere, the Royal Horticultural Society’s Britain in Bloom movement has just launched “Edible Britain”, which promotes the idea of growing herbs, salads and fruits in outdoor spaces: chives in window boxes, lettuce in tubs and strawberries and tomatoes in hanging baskets.
Throughout this month Britain in Bloom will be giving away 30,000 packets of seeds to create more than 1,000 public edible gardens nationwide. The scheme, which has been given the backing of Michelin-starred chef Raymond Blanc, is part of a drive to get people in general and children in particular to re-engage with fresh food. And according to research carried out by Homebase, 62 per cent of British children want to be taught more about gardening at school.
“It’s really important to get children involved in gardening and learn that fruit and vegetables don’t come wrapped in polythene,” says Andrea Van Sittart, head of regional development at the RHS. “And 17,000 schools signed up to our gardening in schools programme.”
When you grow something, you gain a different perspective on its value. In recent years the National Trust, once associated with the preservation in aspic of stately piles and ornamental gardens, has diversified into the cultivation of our horticultural heritage by creating 1,000 allotments, where communities can grow fruit and vegetables. The economic downturn has made a considerable impact, according to the National Allotment Society, with 150,000 people on waiting lists for council allotments and waiting times in London as long as 40 years. Figures released last December showed that the share of all fruit and veg grown in allotments and gardens rose from 2.9 per cent to 5 per cent between 2008 and 2011, an increase of 70 per cent.
But with the best will and the best weather in the world, it’s simply not possible for the average family to become self-sufficient in fruit and vegetables. Alex Mitchell, author of Edible Gardener, admits that the Surbiton idyll of pigs and chickens and home-brewed wine portrayed by Richard Briers and Felicity Kendall is far from the reach of most people.
“You can’t really grow all your own food unless you have about half an acre or more,” says Mitchell. “But you can cultivate little bits and pieces that make you feel more connected to the seasons and raise your awareness of the natural world around you. That, in turn, will make you think before you buy fruit that’s been flown half-way round the world and might change your shopping habits to support local growers more.”
But she does believe it’s possible to become self-sufficient in herbs, salad, garlic and even chillies. “Growing your own food is wonderfully life-affirming,” she says. “It also makes you feel as though you’ve won back a little control from the big supermarkets, and it’s resourceful.”
The horsemeat furore has heightened interest in the provenance of our food; buying traceable British produce allays concerns and dovetails with the calls to reduce our dependence on imports.
Turning the herbaceous border over to rhubarb and spring onions may not constitute digging for victory per se. But perhaps sowing and growing my children’s supper (with plum crumble for afters) could constitute an important milestone along the way.

Set aside farming land taken out of food production, the building of 100s of 1000s of new homes on Farmland/countryside, massive immigration problems not to mention the disappearance of BEES doesn't bode well for a country who has to import over 40% of its food.
If you have a Garden it wouldn't be such a bad idea to start growing your own food as prices will start to escalate rapidly over the next 6 mths.
I'm sure you all know how little your getting for your money when you go to the supermarkets compared to 2 yrs ago.
And what will the LibLabCon do about this?
NOWT, ZILCH, NADA as per usual.

Margaret Thatcher: the most useful of idiots
With his mixture of vaulting intellectual ambition and howling
mediocrity of mind, Lenin is the MaGonagal of philosophers.
(Connoisseurs of intellectual incompetence and pretension should browse
through Lenin’s ‘Materialism and Empririo-Criticism’ for an especial
treat). Nonetheless, like Hitler, the man possessed a certain low
animal cunning and a complete absence of moral restraint, which
qualities permitted him to make a few acute psychological and
sociological observations. Amongst these is the concept of the useful
idiot.
For Lenin this was the role to be played primarily by simpleminded bourgeois dupes who unwittingly aided the movement towards the proletarian revolution, a revolution utterly antipathetic to the ideals and aspiration of the simpleminded bourgeois dupes. But the concept is of general political utility. The useful idiot is any person who acts in a way which unwittingly promotes political interests which are opposed to his own political ideals.
The best of all useful idiots are those in positions of the greatest political advantage, both because they have power and their propensity to be deluded by their egos into believing that they are utterly beyond manipulation or mistaken in their policies. They also display a serious want of understanding of the probable consequences of their actions.
It was this combination of circumstances and mentality which made Margaret Thatcher so potent a useful idiot in the liberal internationalist cause. As I wrote that last sentence, I saw rising up before me the opposing hordes of her admirers and haters, singularly united in a ghastly embrace of disbelief. Was she not the Iron Lady, the Hammer of the Left, the destroyer of union power, the slayer of the socialist dragon? Did she not speak of turning back the tide of immigrants? Was she not the rock from which the European Leviathan rebounded? Did she not ensure that Britain was respected in the world as she had not been since Suez? Was she not a mover and shaker in the nationalist cause?
In her own rhetorical world Mrs T was all of these things, a veritable Gloriana who enchanted some and banally persuaded many more, but in practical achievement she was none of them. This discrepancy between fact and fancy made her an extraordinarily potent tool for the soldiers of the ascendant ideology of the post-war period, the sordid bigotry that is liberal internationalism.
The hard truth is that she allowed the primary British political corruptions of the post war period – immigration, multiculturalism, “progressive” education, the social work circus, internationalism, the attachment to Europe – to not merely continue but grow vastly in scope during her period in power.
A harsh judgement? Well, at the end of her premiership what did Britain have to show for her vaunted patriotism, her wish to maintain Britain’s independence, her desire to drive back the state, her promise to end mass immigration? Precious little is the answer.
Her enthusiastic promotion of the Single European Act, which she ruthlessly drove through Parliament, allowed the Eurofederalists to greatly advance their cause under the guise of acting to produce a single market; her “triumph” in reducing our subsidy to Europe left us paying several billion a year to our European competitors whilst France paid next to nothing; our fishermen were sold down the river; farmers placed in the absurd position of not being allowed to produce even enough milk for British requirements; actual (as opposed to official) immigration increased; that monument to liberal bigotry, the Race Relations Act was untouched, the educational vandals were not only allowed to sabotage every serious attempt to overturn the progressive disaster, but were granted a great triumph in the ending of ‘O’ levels, a liberal bigot success amplified by the contemptible bleating of successive education secretaries that “rising examination success means rising standards”; foreign aid continued to be paid as an unforced Dangeld extracted from an unwilling electorate; major and strategically important industries either ceased to be serious competitors or ended in foreign hands; the armed forces were cut suicidally; the cost of the Welfare State and local government rose massively whilst the service provided both declined and Ulster was sold down the river with the Anglo Irish Agreement. Most generally damaging, she promoted internationalism through her fanatic pursuit of free trade.
At all points Britain was weakened as a nation. Such were the fruits of more than a decade of Thatcherism. Even those things which are most emblematic of her - privatisation, the sale of council houses and the subjection of the unions – have had effects which are contrary to those intended. Privatisation merely accelerated the loss of control which free trade engendered. We may as customers celebrate the liberation of British Telecom and BA, but is it such a wonderful thing to have no major car producer or shipbuilder? The trouble with the privatisation of major industries, which may be greatly reduced, go out of business or be taken over by foreign buyers, is that it ignores strategic and social welfare questions. Ditto free trade generally. Both assume that the world, or at least the parts which contain our major trading partners , will remain peaceful, stable and well disposed towards Britain for ever, an absurd assumption.
Margaret Thatcher also engaged in behaviour which led to a corruption of public life which undermined and continues to undermine her intended ends. Politicians should always think of what precedent they are setting when they act for bad precedents will be invariably seized upon by later governments. She consistently failed to address this concern. Take her attitude to privatisation and the unions. In the former case she displayed a contempt for ownership: in the latter she engaged in authoritarian actions which were simply inappropriate to a democracy. Such legally and politically cavalier behaviour has undoubtedly influenced Blair and New Labour, vide the contempt with which parliament is now treated, constitutional change wrought and incessant restrictions on liberty enacted.
There is a profound ethical question connected to privatisation which was never properly answered by Tories: what right does the state have to dispose by sale of assets which are held in trust on behalf of the general public and whose existence has been in large part guaranteed by taxpayer’s money? This is a question which should be as readily asked by a conservative as by a socialist for it touches upon a central point of democratic political morality, the custodianship of public property. The same ends - the diminution of the state and the freeing of the public from seemingly perpetual losses – could have been achieved by an equitable distribution of shares free of charge to the general public. This would have had, from a Thatcherite standpoint, the additional benefit of greatly increasing share ownership. By selling that which the government did not meaningfully own, she engaged in behaviour which if it had been engaged in by any private individual or company would have been described as fraud or theft.
The breaking of union power was overdone. As someone who is old enough to remember the Wilson, Heath and Callaghan years, I have no illusion of exactly how awful the unions were when they had real power. But her means of breaking their abusive ways, particularly during the miners’ strike, were simply inappropriate in a supposed democracy. Passing laws restricting picketing and making unions liable for material losses suffered when they broke the rules were one thing: the using of the police in an unambiguously authoritarian manner in circumstances of dubious legality such as the blanket prevention of free movement of miners, quite another.
The Falklands War displays another side of her weakness in matching actions to rhetoric. Admirable as the military action was, the terrible truth is that the war need never have been fought if the government had taken their intelligence reports seriously and retained a naval presence in the area. The lesson went unlearnt, for within a few years of the recovery of the Falklands, her government massively reduced defence expenditure.
But what of her clients, the Liberal Ascendency? Would they not be dismayed by much of what she did? Well, by the time Margaret Thatcher came to power liberals had really lost whatever interest they had ever had in state ownership or the genuine improvement of the worker’s lot. What they really cared about was promoting their internationalist vision and doctrine of spurious natural rights. They had new clients; the vast numbers of coloured immigrants and their children, women, homosexuals, the disabled. In short, all those who were dysfunctional, or could be made to feel dysfunctional, in terms of British society. They had new areas of power and distinction, social work, education, the civil service ,the mass media to which they added, after securing the ideological high ground, the ancient delights of politics.
Although the liberal left distrusted and hated Margaret Thatcher (and did not understand at the time how effective her commitment to free trade was in promoting internationalism), they nonetheless had the belief throughout her time in office that Britain’s involvement in the EU and the Liberal Ascendency’s control of education, the media, the civil service and bodies such as the Commission for Racial Equality would thwart those of her plans which were most dangerous and obnoxious to the liberal.
Margaret Thatcher greatly added to this wall of opposition by her choice of ministers. Think of her major cabinet appointments. She ensured that the Foreign Office remained in the hands of men (Howe and Hurd) who were both ardent Europhiles and willing tools of the FO Quisling culture, the Chancellorship was entrusted to first Howe and then Lawson who was also firmly committed to Europe. The Home Office sat in the laps of the social liberals Whitelaw, Hurd and Baker, Education was given to Baker and Clarke. Those appointments alone ensured that little would be done to attack the things which liberals held sacred, for they were men who broadly shared the liberal values and who were opposed to Thatcherite policies other than those on the economy, which of course was the one Thatcherite policy guaranteed to assist liberal internationalism. By the end, she was so weak that she was unable to prevent the effective sacking of a favourite cabinet minister, Nicholas Ridley, by the German Chancellor.
The constant cry of Margaret Thatcher after she left office is that she did not understand the consequences of her acts. Of course she does not put it in that way, but that is what it amounts to. She blames Brussels and the Foreign Office for the unwelcome consequences of the Single European Act. She readily admits that this minister or that in her government proved unreliable or treacherous, but does not conclude that her judgement in choosing them was at fault. She blames the Foreign Office for the Falklands War. But nowhere does she acknowledge her fault.
In her heart of hearts, has the second longest serving and most ideological prime minister in modern British history ever comprehended, however imperfectly, that she was a prime mover in the Liberal Internationalist cause? I doubt it, because self deception is at the heart of what makes a useful idiot.

For Lenin this was the role to be played primarily by simpleminded bourgeois dupes who unwittingly aided the movement towards the proletarian revolution, a revolution utterly antipathetic to the ideals and aspiration of the simpleminded bourgeois dupes. But the concept is of general political utility. The useful idiot is any person who acts in a way which unwittingly promotes political interests which are opposed to his own political ideals.
The best of all useful idiots are those in positions of the greatest political advantage, both because they have power and their propensity to be deluded by their egos into believing that they are utterly beyond manipulation or mistaken in their policies. They also display a serious want of understanding of the probable consequences of their actions.
It was this combination of circumstances and mentality which made Margaret Thatcher so potent a useful idiot in the liberal internationalist cause. As I wrote that last sentence, I saw rising up before me the opposing hordes of her admirers and haters, singularly united in a ghastly embrace of disbelief. Was she not the Iron Lady, the Hammer of the Left, the destroyer of union power, the slayer of the socialist dragon? Did she not speak of turning back the tide of immigrants? Was she not the rock from which the European Leviathan rebounded? Did she not ensure that Britain was respected in the world as she had not been since Suez? Was she not a mover and shaker in the nationalist cause?
In her own rhetorical world Mrs T was all of these things, a veritable Gloriana who enchanted some and banally persuaded many more, but in practical achievement she was none of them. This discrepancy between fact and fancy made her an extraordinarily potent tool for the soldiers of the ascendant ideology of the post-war period, the sordid bigotry that is liberal internationalism.
The hard truth is that she allowed the primary British political corruptions of the post war period – immigration, multiculturalism, “progressive” education, the social work circus, internationalism, the attachment to Europe – to not merely continue but grow vastly in scope during her period in power.
A harsh judgement? Well, at the end of her premiership what did Britain have to show for her vaunted patriotism, her wish to maintain Britain’s independence, her desire to drive back the state, her promise to end mass immigration? Precious little is the answer.
Her enthusiastic promotion of the Single European Act, which she ruthlessly drove through Parliament, allowed the Eurofederalists to greatly advance their cause under the guise of acting to produce a single market; her “triumph” in reducing our subsidy to Europe left us paying several billion a year to our European competitors whilst France paid next to nothing; our fishermen were sold down the river; farmers placed in the absurd position of not being allowed to produce even enough milk for British requirements; actual (as opposed to official) immigration increased; that monument to liberal bigotry, the Race Relations Act was untouched, the educational vandals were not only allowed to sabotage every serious attempt to overturn the progressive disaster, but were granted a great triumph in the ending of ‘O’ levels, a liberal bigot success amplified by the contemptible bleating of successive education secretaries that “rising examination success means rising standards”; foreign aid continued to be paid as an unforced Dangeld extracted from an unwilling electorate; major and strategically important industries either ceased to be serious competitors or ended in foreign hands; the armed forces were cut suicidally; the cost of the Welfare State and local government rose massively whilst the service provided both declined and Ulster was sold down the river with the Anglo Irish Agreement. Most generally damaging, she promoted internationalism through her fanatic pursuit of free trade.
At all points Britain was weakened as a nation. Such were the fruits of more than a decade of Thatcherism. Even those things which are most emblematic of her - privatisation, the sale of council houses and the subjection of the unions – have had effects which are contrary to those intended. Privatisation merely accelerated the loss of control which free trade engendered. We may as customers celebrate the liberation of British Telecom and BA, but is it such a wonderful thing to have no major car producer or shipbuilder? The trouble with the privatisation of major industries, which may be greatly reduced, go out of business or be taken over by foreign buyers, is that it ignores strategic and social welfare questions. Ditto free trade generally. Both assume that the world, or at least the parts which contain our major trading partners , will remain peaceful, stable and well disposed towards Britain for ever, an absurd assumption.
Margaret Thatcher also engaged in behaviour which led to a corruption of public life which undermined and continues to undermine her intended ends. Politicians should always think of what precedent they are setting when they act for bad precedents will be invariably seized upon by later governments. She consistently failed to address this concern. Take her attitude to privatisation and the unions. In the former case she displayed a contempt for ownership: in the latter she engaged in authoritarian actions which were simply inappropriate to a democracy. Such legally and politically cavalier behaviour has undoubtedly influenced Blair and New Labour, vide the contempt with which parliament is now treated, constitutional change wrought and incessant restrictions on liberty enacted.
There is a profound ethical question connected to privatisation which was never properly answered by Tories: what right does the state have to dispose by sale of assets which are held in trust on behalf of the general public and whose existence has been in large part guaranteed by taxpayer’s money? This is a question which should be as readily asked by a conservative as by a socialist for it touches upon a central point of democratic political morality, the custodianship of public property. The same ends - the diminution of the state and the freeing of the public from seemingly perpetual losses – could have been achieved by an equitable distribution of shares free of charge to the general public. This would have had, from a Thatcherite standpoint, the additional benefit of greatly increasing share ownership. By selling that which the government did not meaningfully own, she engaged in behaviour which if it had been engaged in by any private individual or company would have been described as fraud or theft.
The breaking of union power was overdone. As someone who is old enough to remember the Wilson, Heath and Callaghan years, I have no illusion of exactly how awful the unions were when they had real power. But her means of breaking their abusive ways, particularly during the miners’ strike, were simply inappropriate in a supposed democracy. Passing laws restricting picketing and making unions liable for material losses suffered when they broke the rules were one thing: the using of the police in an unambiguously authoritarian manner in circumstances of dubious legality such as the blanket prevention of free movement of miners, quite another.

CORPORATE FASCISM - AS TRUE FOR AMERICA AS IT IS FOR BRITAIN
Is it corporate fascism yet?
The financial crisis that washed across
the globe in 2008 is just the latest economic disaster to hit the
American people. The fall of too-big-to-fail banks and companies marked
the latest chapter of a tragedy that has been unfolding for years.
Franklin D. Roosevelt once warned that
democracy will never be safe if the people tolerate the growth of
private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic
state itself. If such a scenario arose, Roosevelt said, that would be
the very definition of fascism.
With the rise of the lawless
transnational corporations, an increasing number of Americans are
becoming mere spectators to this winner-take-all economy. At the same
time, workers are simply too afraid of risking their positions by
demanding democratic representation in their myriad workplaces.
Corporations play on the fear factor while enforcing the most egregious
labor practices.
Combine this with the vast political powers that corporations have acquired and you have a recipe for a national disaster.
As Francis Fukuyama pointed out, “An American chief executive exercises authoritarian powers of which a politician could only dream,” and is held accountable in his actions only to a board of directors, which enables him to “hire, fire, make mergers or divest divisions at will.”
Indeed, the captains of big business are able to act with total
impunity, and this has created a veritable reign of fear throughout
every sector of the economy.
For the American people, out-of-control
corporate power – corporate fascism, if you will – has eroded their
standard of living, to say nothing about the standard of democracy.
No matter how the spin doctors twist US
labor data over the past forty years, it is nearly impossible to find a
silver lining. As the Financial Times summed up the grim reality: “The
annual incomes of the bottom 90 percent of US families have been
essentially flat since 1973—having risen only by 10 percent in real
terms over the past 37 years”—despite the rise in two-income homes.
Over the same period, however, the incomes of the top 1 percent have
smashed through the roof.
Consider the fantastic growth of
billionaires in the United States over a very short time. When Forbes
magazine launched its ranking of the nation’s ultra wealthy in 1982, the
“price of admission” into this prestigious club was just $75 million of
net worth. Today, as Forbes reported, even after adjusting for
inflation, “this year’s entry fee ($1.1 billion) is roughly six times what it was 30 years ago.
Here is a look at the residents of the Forbes 400 penthouse, otherwise known as the 1 percent: “The
combined net worth of the 2012 class of the 400 richest Americans is
$1.7 trillion, up from $1.5 trillion a year ago. The average net worth
of a Forbes 400 member is a staggering $4.2 billion, up from $3.8
billion, and the highest ever, as two-thirds of the individuals added to
their fortunes in the past year.”
Now compare those figures to 1982, when
there were just 13 billionaires while the total worth of the 400 club
was just $93 billion. Despite what the super rich wish to believe, this
massive hoarding of wealth is working against the American people.
For those who have forgotten what the
economic climate inside of the United States was like before the 2008
economic tsunami made landfall, consider the following. The Economist,
quoting Julia Isaacs of the Brookings Institute, reported that “between 1974 and 2004 median wages for men in their 30s, adjusted for inflation, fell by 12% from $40,000 to $35,000.”
The Wall Street Journal, calling this middle-class bloodletting “the lost decade,” reported: “The
inflation-adjusted income of the median household—smack in the middle
of the populace—fell 4.8% between 2000 and 2009, even worse than the
1970s, when median income rose 1.9% despite high unemployment and
inflation. Between 2007 and 2009, incomes fell 4.2%.”
The article provided a candid comment by
Nicholas Eberstadt, a political economist at the right leaning American
Enterprise Institute: “It’s going to be a long, hard slog back to what most Americans think of as normalcy or prosperous times.”
That dire prognosis may eventually prove to be overly optimistic since
many economists believe the best days of the American economy are gone
forever.
The hardest thing to accept about this
fantastic reversal of fortune for so many American people is that much
of the present pain and suffering was largely avoidable. It would have
required self-restraint, political will, and very little sacrifice, but
the bleeding of the American middle class was nothing less than a
deliberate, premeditated crime.
As the Financial Times revealed, “the
share of the US income that goes to workers as wages rather than to
investors as profits…has fallen to its lowest level since records began
after the Second World War.” The world’s most reputable business newspaper was forced to admit that “something strange and unprecedented is going on” inside the US economy.
Here comes the bloody kicker: “If
wages were at their postwar average share of 63 percent, workers would
earn an extra $740bn this year, about $5,000 per worker,” the FT
article reveals. Labor’s slice of the income pie has decreased to 58
percent, a historic low that still has not hit bottom. This
unprecedented disparity in wage distribution explains why the US economy
is furiously spinning its wheels, while only the corporations seem to
be advancing.
Meanwhile, labor is always one precarious step away from becoming road kill. “The
decline in the US labor share, along with a shift of labor income
towards higher earners, may be an important part of why the US economic
recovery is so sluggish,” the article concludes. “Instead of hoarding
labor and cutting prices to grab market share, companies are sacking
workers, holding prices and choosing to buy back their own equity rather
than make new investments.”
Clearly, the American corporate elite –
now fully blessed with the political representation originally designed
for We the People – is indulging itself to an all-you-can-eat
smorgasbord at the salary trough, and with a void of democratic
procedure inside the workplace, nobody is forcing them away from the
table.
What the American worker desperately
needs today is a separation of business from politics, similar to the
way the world of politics was separated from the world of religion. He
also needs democratic representation inside of the workplace.
“The mission of democratic statecraft…,” wrote Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. “is
to give society a chance of controlling the energies let loose by
science and technology. Democratic leadership is the art of fostering
and managing innovation in the service of a free community.”
A person need not be a Marxist to
understand a very simple universal truth: Without vibrant representation
both in the workplace and at home, the individuals at the top of the
corporate pyramid will exploit the people in the eternal quest for
greater profit. At that point, with the corporate overlords in bed with
our political representatives, and democratic procedure totally absent
inside of the corporate fortress, fascist is the only way to define such
a brutal system.
-----------------
And the LibLabCon, Unions, UAF etc are where?
In the pockets of the FASCIST CORPORATIONS that's where.
Nationalists at Wigan Patriot have been warning you for years that we are now living a TRUE FASCIST STATE.
Yet the Donkeys who are called the "ELECTORATE" keep voting for the FASCIST DICTATORS, too dumbed down or ignorant to care.
Thatcher (spit, spit pthwww) was the one who gave greed its reign and destroyed a homogenous society in the process of giving the British Silverware away away to Foreign Fascist Corporations (If you see Sid tell him).
If you want to end this and distribute wealth from those who have more than anyone could ever need or dream of then you have to vote for NATIONALIST PARTIES.
The BNP I'm sad to say isn't willing to work with other Nationalist Parties for the good of the Indigenous Population of Britain which means you should ignore them.
You have other choices, the main one being the new Nationalist Party that we have long been waiting for THE BRITISH DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
If your not willing to take a chance on them now then you might aswell wave goodbye to Britain and prepare for worse to come for you and your families in the FASCIST FUTURE being planned and implemented as we speak.
YOU are just another slave, when are you going to break the bonds that bind you ?

TROLLING ALONG: If the conflicting data feel like a stream of dissonance, ask yourself why.
Ever since Moses came back down with Ten Commandments and
claimed they were from God, it’s been difficult to get at the Truth.
But the complexity and subtlety of contemporary disinformation make it well-nigh impossible to get anywhere near it. The Slog explains why this is happening, who’s doing it, and what they’re trying to achieve.
‘Eurozone output rose greater than expected in the month of February,” wrote Reuters this morning. By gum, one thinks, things might be looking up. And Reuters suggests such a thought might indeed be appropriate: the data, it reports, are ‘giving hope the currency bloc will return to growth this year’.
Except, of course, it’s complete bollocks. Almost all of it is energy production – because Europe just had one of the coldest winter/spring spells on record. What’s more, whereas German production is up 95, ClubMed’s is down….especially in Italy at -8%. Which, of course, simply exacerbates the problem the eurozone already already has. Overall, real factory production continued to fall compared to data from a year ago.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg reports that ‘Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem said “everything is in place” for euro-area officials to sign off on a 10 billion-euro rescue for Cyprus’……the only snag being that Nicosia doesn’t agree: it thinks it needs more. Or does it? Lest we forget here, Cyprus’s contribution to its own rescue has risen from €7bn to €13bn. Cyprus isn’t as yet asking for anything from anyone, because it is rescuing itself, remember?
In fact, didn’t Cyprus decide to use its own gold to raise the new larger amount? No actually, it didn’t: it was told to by the Troika. And then this morning, Mario Draghi ordered the Cypriot government not to sack Panicos Demetriades, the central bank governor, over his handling of Cyprus’ worsening financial crisis.
Over his handling of the crisis? Wasn’t the confidence crisis set off by the Troika’s haircut idea? Nonononononono….that was Nicosia’s idea. Well, that is…er, after it turned up a week last Thursday and was told to find a way to cut 40% of depositor hair by the FinMin’s eurogroup.
OK fine, but at least Brussels is trying to sort out the mess, right? The Wall Street Journal ran a big piece today saying ‘Europe is embarking on a new attempt to pull its banks out of the molasses of its debt crisis, hoping an aggressive cleanup of toxic assets will get banks to lend again and kick-start its flailing economies.
The push is being led by several key officials in Brussels and Frankfurt, who want to see a new round of much-tougher stress tests before the European Central Bank becomes the euro zone’s main banking policeman next year, according to four European officials familiar with the talks. They are backed by the continent’s richer countries, including Germany, the Netherlands and Finland.’
Ah. This is a new one on me. Or rather, it isn’t: the same story was salted out all over the place on February 26th. Then it appeared again on March 18th. Now here it is yet again on April 12th. But it’s bullsh*t: I have yet to find anyone in a position to know who has seen or read anything about such a new stress test.
But nihil desperandum friends, because ‘EU’s Rehn Calls for Faster Banking Union’ wrote the WSJ yesterday. Ollie can call all he likes, but his calls rarely seem to be answered: the same story appeared last June at Reuters and in the New York Times. It’s cobblers: the pace remains that of a snail on Valium, because half the people supposed to be in the damn thing are insolvent anyway.
There are three factors at play in all this misreporting. First, it
tends almost always to appear on mainstream American news sites. Second,
it is represents almost nothing beyond some eurocrat’s wishful
thinking. And third, in the eurozone theatre it follows an obvious
pattern most of the time: the deliberate sowing of confusion.
Why is this? It’s simple really…and I’ve observed it so many times now, I will not countenance any of the ‘just a conspiracy theory’ tripe – if only because that sort of trollesque assertion is part of the same process.
These are the reasons it happens. First, the US is desperate to keep American investors calm about what’s happening in the eurozone. Second, most Americans are very badly informed about Europe. Third, all US news sites and stations are under enormous pressure to fill time and space with apparent ‘news’. Fourth, a helluva lot of journalists are lazy and superficial – especially econo-financial journalists. Fifth, Paris, Brussels, Frankfurt and Berlin are at loggerheads most of the time, and brief against each other 24/7. And finally, it suits the European Commission press room to run about carrying mirrors and trailing smoke: this creates controversy, disagreement, and multivariate interpretation….it provides the distraction and distortion to line up the deception.
Some fifteen months ago – well before the triumphant return of Barack O’Drama to the Oval Office was assured, I kept being told by American sources about professional troll swarms being employed by the White House to go into GOP sites and spread mayhem by attacking threaders, authors and each other.
It all sounded a bit far-fetched and paranoid to be honest: it proved to be anything but. It is in fact extremely sophisticated, and has since spread into almost every sphere of what gets ‘reported’ online.
Ever since being attacked here last year, I have to spend about half an hour a day monitoring new threaders, and checking their IP addresses. In the last eight months alone I have banned and spammed out a staggering 5,723 obvious plants either commercial or political.
One still misses a few of course – seasoned bloggers email me now and again to point them out. Sometimes I ban them too: sometimes I leave them in, string them along, even agree with them now and then.
After all, I don’t see why disinformation-spreading should be all one way.
The net effect is that nobody knows who to trust any more….and this too is entirely intentional. The Stasi in East Germany not only corrupted citizens by getting them to spy on neighbours or else…it benefitted massively from spreading distrust and suspicion….because that led to more ‘credible deniability’. (An invention of that nice Nixonian Mr Haldeman, by the way).
Nowhere is this pernicious practice of troll swarming more commonplace and obvious than in ClubMed – and especially in Greece. A lot of it is laughably amateurish: Turks calling themselves Demetriou or Maria turn up talking rubbish and barely able to spell, and Germanic-origin mercenaries thread complete tosh that gives away their ignorance of all things Hellenic. I do too occasionally, but that’s because I am ignorant about Greece: I love the country and its people, but I rely upon a small regiment of helpers to politely point out when I’ve written something culturally daft.
Just as annoying is the time I devote to checking the provenance of something given to me discreetly. One has to do that every time of course, but now the process has become ridiculous. Reports are falsified, newspaper dates doctored, Wikipedia entries altered….on and on it goes. And of course, that’s the idea: ‘better not write that, it may be a trap’. They slow you down, and make you cautious. I have been suckered twice since Christmas. It’s not good for morale, I can tell you.
Most of the Anglo-Saxon media were reeled in by Lord McAlpine in this manner. He spotted a silly BBC error about paedophilia, and he plus other allies have been bashing them for it ever since. Yet again today, McScalpine pitched up saying he was “absolutely astonished” that the Beeb was allowing an anti-Maggie song to be broadcast. What is he after, soviet censorship? Of course he is, the crafty old bugger: he wants his enemies to demoralised, and thus easier to annihilate.
Alf McAlpine isn’t astonished by anything. Except, perhaps, how easy it is to take people in.
The Left, meanwhile, has been running pieces over the last 48 hours claiming that Buckingham Palace ‘disapproves’ of the choice of St Paul’s Cathedral for Baroness Thatcher’s funeral service. I disapprove too, but I’ve been trying to stand up the reports and I don’t believe a bloody word of it. However, it suits the Mirror and the Guardian to remind people about Maggie’s delusions of grandeur….every bit as much as it suits the Telegraph and the Express to use verbs like ‘snub’ and ‘refuse’ when it comes to reporting on the BBC’s unwillingness to go along with brainless idolatry.
I posted about the Baroness three days ago. My verdict, and the preference for brevity, still stand. I am at Thatchuration point with all this propagandic mud-slinging. But yes, OK – I too am trying to persuade: I used to be one of those ghastly advertising men building brands and creating jobs, oh woe is me, what a capitalist swine I was. But my persuasion is now as it was then: open, honest, and well-intentioned. I find it sweetly ironic that those claiming to be anti-Stalinist (it’s an easy position to adopt, after all) increasingly use the Brechtian Good Lie to make their ‘case’.
Two opposing lies make only a cacophony of noise to drown out the truth. They require us to be vigilant at all times.

Ollie can call all he likes, but his calls rarely seem to be answered: the same story appeared last June at Reuters and in the New York Times. It’s cobblers: the pace remains that of a snail on Valium, because half the people supposed to be in the damn thing are insolvent anyway.

Why is this? It’s simple really…and I’ve observed it so many times now, I will not countenance any of the ‘just a conspiracy theory’ tripe – if only because that sort of trollesque assertion is part of the same process.
These are the reasons it happens. First, the US is desperate to keep American investors calm about what’s happening in the eurozone. Second, most Americans are very badly informed about Europe. Third, all US news sites and stations are under enormous pressure to fill time and space with apparent ‘news’. Fourth, a helluva lot of journalists are lazy and superficial – especially econo-financial journalists. Fifth, Paris, Brussels, Frankfurt and Berlin are at loggerheads most of the time, and brief against each other 24/7. And finally, it suits the European Commission press room to run about carrying mirrors and trailing smoke: this creates controversy, disagreement, and multivariate interpretation….it provides the distraction and distortion to line up the deception.
Some fifteen months ago – well before the triumphant return of Barack O’Drama to the Oval Office was assured, I kept being told by American sources about professional troll swarms being employed by the White House to go into GOP sites and spread mayhem by attacking threaders, authors and each other.
It all sounded a bit far-fetched and paranoid to be honest: it proved to be anything but. It is in fact extremely sophisticated, and has since spread into almost every sphere of what gets ‘reported’ online.
Ever since being attacked here last year, I have to spend about half an hour a day monitoring new threaders, and checking their IP addresses. In the last eight months alone I have banned and spammed out a staggering 5,723 obvious plants either commercial or political.
One still misses a few of course – seasoned bloggers email me now and again to point them out. Sometimes I ban them too: sometimes I leave them in, string them along, even agree with them now and then.
After all, I don’t see why disinformation-spreading should be all one way.
The net effect is that nobody knows who to trust any more….and this too is entirely intentional. The Stasi in East Germany not only corrupted citizens by getting them to spy on neighbours or else…it benefitted massively from spreading distrust and suspicion….because that led to more ‘credible deniability’. (An invention of that nice Nixonian Mr Haldeman, by the way).
Nowhere is this pernicious practice of troll swarming more commonplace and obvious than in ClubMed – and especially in Greece. A lot of it is laughably amateurish: Turks calling themselves Demetriou or Maria turn up talking rubbish and barely able to spell, and Germanic-origin mercenaries thread complete tosh that gives away their ignorance of all things Hellenic. I do too occasionally, but that’s because I am ignorant about Greece: I love the country and its people, but I rely upon a small regiment of helpers to politely point out when I’ve written something culturally daft.
Just as annoying is the time I devote to checking the provenance of something given to me discreetly. One has to do that every time of course, but now the process has become ridiculous. Reports are falsified, newspaper dates doctored, Wikipedia entries altered….on and on it goes. And of course, that’s the idea: ‘better not write that, it may be a trap’. They slow you down, and make you cautious. I have been suckered twice since Christmas. It’s not good for morale, I can tell you.
Most of the Anglo-Saxon media were reeled in by Lord McAlpine in this manner. He spotted a silly BBC error about paedophilia, and he plus other allies have been bashing them for it ever since. Yet again today, McScalpine pitched up saying he was “absolutely astonished” that the Beeb was allowing an anti-Maggie song to be broadcast. What is he after, soviet censorship? Of course he is, the crafty old bugger: he wants his enemies to demoralised, and thus easier to annihilate.
Alf McAlpine isn’t astonished by anything. Except, perhaps, how easy it is to take people in.
The Left, meanwhile, has been running pieces over the last 48 hours claiming that Buckingham Palace ‘disapproves’ of the choice of St Paul’s Cathedral for Baroness Thatcher’s funeral service. I disapprove too, but I’ve been trying to stand up the reports and I don’t believe a bloody word of it. However, it suits the Mirror and the Guardian to remind people about Maggie’s delusions of grandeur….every bit as much as it suits the Telegraph and the Express to use verbs like ‘snub’ and ‘refuse’ when it comes to reporting on the BBC’s unwillingness to go along with brainless idolatry.
I posted about the Baroness three days ago. My verdict, and the preference for brevity, still stand. I am at Thatchuration point with all this propagandic mud-slinging. But yes, OK – I too am trying to persuade: I used to be one of those ghastly advertising men building brands and creating jobs, oh woe is me, what a capitalist swine I was. But my persuasion is now as it was then: open, honest, and well-intentioned. I find it sweetly ironic that those claiming to be anti-Stalinist (it’s an easy position to adopt, after all) increasingly use the Brechtian Good Lie to make their ‘case’.
Two opposing lies make only a cacophony of noise to drown out the truth. They require us to be vigilant at all times.

TROLLING ALONG
NO HUMAN RIGHTS FOR PALESTINIAN CHILDREN FROM THE ISRAELIS
Mistreating Palestinian Children
Societies perhaps are best judged by how they treat prisoners, their most disadvantaged and children.
On March 20, Israeli soldiers mass arrested about 30 children. Obama
arrived the same day. Every child passing Tareq Bin Zeyad street was
seized. They were heading for school in Hebron.They were taken to Kiryat Arba police station. They were interrogated with no adult present. Israel’s Youth Law requires it. Shin Bet pays it no heed. Children are isolated from parents. They’re terrorized. It’s standard Israeli practice.
Targeted children committed no crimes. An Israeli army spokeswoman said soldiers “operated in the area today in order to contain rock hurling at security forces (following an increase in) rioting.”
At least 14 were aged 11 or younger. Some were young as 8. Israel treats children like adults. International law is clear. A child is anyone under age 18. State Parties are legally bound to treat them accordingly.
Principle 1 of the UN Declaration of the Rights of the Child says:
“Every child, without exception whatsoever, shall be entitled to (fundamental human and civil) rights, without distinction or discrimination on account of race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status, whether of himself or of his family.”
They’re entitled to special protections and opportunities. It’s to help them develop physically, mentally, morally, spiritually, and socially. It’s so they’ll do it under conditions of freedom and dignity.
They include the right to life, an adequate standard of living, healthcare, education, leisure, safety and peace. For over four decades, Israel systematically denied Palestinians all rights.
On March 31, Haaretz headlined “The IDF must stop arresting children,” saying:
On March 20, Israeli soldiers “ambushed and arrested” Palestinian children. At least 18 were under age 12. They’re below “the minimum age at which they can legally be held responsible for a crime.”
“This large-scale roundup was arbitrary.” Soldiers grabbed every child they saw. First and second-graders aged 8 or younger were taken.
Doing so was reprehensible. International law forbids it. So does Israeli law. Arrests came days after a UNICEF report. It’s titled “Children in Israeli Military Detention.”
It sharply criticized Israel. It said around 700 Palestinian children aged 12 – 17 are arrested annually. It’s about two per day. Thousands have been mistreated. They’re terrorized. They’re harshly interrogated.
Doing so “amount(s) to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.”
The Convention on the Rights of the Child mandates that they be kept safe from harm.
Article 4 states:
“Governments have a responsibility to take all available measures to make sure children’s rights are respected, protected and fulfilled.”
Article 37 states:
“No one is allowed to punish children in a cruel or harmful way. Children who break the law should not be treated cruelly.”
Other provisions mandate State Parties to ensure that “No child shall be subjected to torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.”
“Every child deprived of his or her liberty shall have the right to prompt access to legal and other appropriate assistance, as well as the right to challenge the legality of the deprivation of his or her liberty before a court or other competent, independent and impartial authority, and to a prompt decision on any such action.”
Israel spurns international law. It violates its own. It ignores its High Court rulings. According to UNICEF:
“In addition to Israel’s obligations under international law, the guiding principles relating to the prohibition against torture in Israel are to be found in a 1999 decision of the Supreme Court, which is also legally binding on the Israeli military courts.”
“The Court concluded that a reasonable interrogation is necessarily one free of torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, and that this prohibition is absolute.”
Based on interviews UNICEF conducted, abuse and mistreatment persist. It’s consistent during arrest, transfer, detention and interrogation.
Heavily armed soldiers break into homes pre-dawn. Parents and children are terrorized. Threats and physical violence follow. Fundamental rights are systematically denied.
UNICEF calls Israeli mistreatment “widespread, systematic and institutionalized.” Children are taken from their families. They’re detained. They’re terrorized under harsh conditions. Many become traumatized.
“In no other country are children systematically tried by juvenile military courts that, by definition, fall short of providing the necessary guarantees to ensure respect for their rights.”
On March 29, Gideon Levy headlined “Aged eight, wearing a Mickey Mouse sweatshirt, and placed in Israeli custody,” saying:
Hebron area Palestinian children “never made it to school this week. IDF troops lay in ambush for them.”
Hebron residents were unnerved. They saw dozens of Israeli soldiers on streets and rooftops. They were justifiably frightened.
Children were arrested indiscriminately. An International Solidarity Movement volunteer videotaped what happened. She sent it to B’Tselem. It’s available on its web site and YouTube.
Israel deported the photographer the same day. Western media ignored what happened.
“Ahmed Abu Rimaileh woke up at 7 that morning,” said Levy. His mother gave him pocket money. He left for school. He stopped to buy cookies. He kept another shekel for recess.
He was about to leave the store. Seven or eight children rushed in. So did soldiers. Arrests followed.
Ahmed was scared. He began crying. He and other detained children “were thrust into an army vehicle.” Some sat. Others stood. One child was hit. They were taken to Kiryat Arba police station.
They were placed in a closed courtyard. They were told to sit on the ground. Children over age 12 were separated from younger ones. They were taken to Ofer Prison.
“Children asked to go to the bathroom but were forbidden to do so.” Police asked who threw stones. No one confessed. They were asked if they knew who threw them. Two older children were named. They’d been arrested and separated from others.
Ahmed was released. The next day he didn’t want to go to school. Who could blame him. His parents persuaded him. He didn’t go to classes. He stayed in the principal’s office all day.
“He wants to be a doctor when he grows up….His mother says he is a good student and a good boy.” He has “seven brothers and sisters. The five boys sleep in one room, on two beds and on mattresses on the floor.”
Ahmed’s mother knows Israeli arrests happen often. “We are used to it,” she said. It doesn’t make it right. It gets worse. Palestinian children are terrorized, traumatized, tortured, abused, and imprisoned. Most sentences range from two weeks to 10 months.
Sworn affidavits obtained from the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel (PACTI), Adalah, DCI-Palestine, and other human rights groups say systematic cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment are commonplace.
Children are forcefully arrested, painfully handcuffed, blindfolded, intimidated, verbally abused, strip searched, beaten, threatened, isolated, sexually threatened and abused, and forced to sign confessions in Hebrew they don’t understand.
It’s standard practice. On average, it happens twice daily. What’s a child to do? Going to school, running errands for parents, or playing with friends is risky. Normal life under occupation’s impossible.
Charging children with stone throwing is commonplace. It’s unconscionable. It happens daily. Under Military Order 1651, Section 221, it’s punishable as follows:
against people or property, it carries a maximum 10 year penalty; for children aged 13 or younger, it’s six months; and throwing stones or other objects against moving vehicles risks up to 20 years imprisonment; for children 13 or younger, it’s six months.
In practice, it’s two weeks to 10 months. It’s unjust, improper and lawless. It persists. Anything goes is policy. Young children are treated like adults. Some never fully recover from the experience.
