Atlanta Jewish Times wants Barack Obama murdered
THE Barack Obama Death Cult returns with news that Andrew Adler, publisher of the Atlanta Jewish Times, has used his January 13, 2012 column to says that one way of sorting out Iran is to murder Barack Obama. There are other options, such as attacking Iran and waging war on their supporters, Hamas and Hezbollah. But it’s open 3 that gets the headlines:
Three, give the go-ahead for U.S.-based Mossad agents to take out a president deemed unfriendly to Israel in order for the current vice president to take his place, and forcefully dictate that the United States’ policy includes its helping the Jewish state obliterate its enemies.

Yes, of course the Government lies to us but…..
YOU can usually find the truth if you go looking hard enough. You know, the real numbers about what is happening, not what the politicians’ spinmeisters have cooked up for that day’s newspaper stories.
That, at least in the US, is about to get a lot more difficult.
“The Statistical Abstract of the United States, published since 1878, is the authoritative and comprehensive summary of statistics on the social, political, and economic organization of the United States. Use the Abstract as a convenient volume for statistical reference, and as a guide to sources of more information both in print and on the Web.”
It also says that the U.S. Census Bureau has decided to save $3 million per year by eliminating the Stat Abstract.

Scottish independence gets the Taiwan animation treatment, Jimmy
WHO wants independence for Scotland? Mel Gibson, that’s who. And he’s a Celtic fan. Scottish First Minister and SNP leader Alex Salmond and UK Prime Minister David Cameron are debating over a referendum on independence of Scotland. Salmond wants to be a leader of a free land (surely famous, of historial importance and powerful? -ed) and Cameron wants the thing decided quickly.
(The referendum is pencilled in for 2014 – 707 years after Mel Gibson’s death!)
Salmond recently declared his intention to hold a referendum in the fall of 2014. That’s when Tory austerity cuts are expected to hit Scotland hard, while Scottish national pride gets a boost from the Ryder Cup, Commonwealth Games and the 700th anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn, when the Scots under Robert Bruce scored a decisive victory over the English in the First War of Scottish Independence.
Cameron, whose Conservative Party has only one Scottish MP in Westminster, is supported in his desire to hold a referendum before 2014 by Liberal Party leader Nick Clegg and Labour leader Ed Miliband. Westminster maintains that only the British Parliament has the legal power to hold a valid referendum on Scotland’s future.

Lady Garden is an actual person and she hates cyber bullying
NOMINATIVE Determinism Watch detects Lady Garden. Yep, Lady Garden is an actual person:
By Nicholas Randall, Press Association Political Staff:
Liberal Democrat Lord Storey, head of a primary school in Liverpool, said it was easy for under-age children to set up accounts on social networking sites and use them without permission from parents and teachers. He told Government spokeswoman Baroness Garden of Frognal at question time in the House of Lords: “You will be aware of the hugely increasing problem of cyber bullying by and of children and young people, particularly in schools.”… Lady Garden said the Government was “committed to tackling bullying on social networking sites” and would be prepared to hold meetings on the issue. She added: “The Government is pressing the internet industry in the UK and Europe to implement clear and simple processes for dealing with abuse online.”

David Cameron get Jeremy Clarkson Tourette’s
ANYONE else suspect that David Cameron sees Jeremy Clarkson’s schtick of saying mildly offensive non-PC things in a loud voice as a way of reaching the people who perceive a loss of free speech in modern life and reassuring them that he understands?
In an interview with the Telegraph, Cameron said of shadow chancellor Ed Ball’s appearances in the House of Commons:
“But I’m very bad, in the House of Commons, at not getting distracted, and the endless, ceaseless banter, it’s like having someone with Tourette’s permanently sitting opposite you.”
Cameron is talking to the Tory voters who might think he’s soft. His words are not accidental. They echo the studied offence of Clarkson, who aims to be the voice for the man blessed with common sense who sees through the PC bullshit. David Cameron has contracted Jeremy Clarkson Tourette’s, a strain of the illness that causes the victim to say non-PC things to a deadline.

Is Ron Paul damned by his racist homophobic newsletters?
RON Paul, the Congressman seeking the Republican nomination for president says:
“Look at the percentages,” he said. “The percentage of people who use [illegal] drugs are about the same with blacks and whites, and yet blacks are arrested way disproportionately. They’re prosecuted and imprisoned way disproportionately. They get the death penalty way disproportionately. How many times have you seen a white rich person get the electric chair?” Those truly concerned about racism, he said, should “look at the drug laws which are being so unfairly enforced.”
True enough. Racism is engrained.
But is Ron Paul an anti-racist or is he just pointing out the inequalities?
In 2008, The New Republic researched Ron Paul’s newsletters. Titles like Ron Paul’s Freedom Report, Ron Paul Political Report, The Ron Paul Survival Report might not ahve been written by Paul but they carried his name on teh masthead.
The Freedom Report’s online archives only go back to 1999, but I was curious to see older editions of Paul’s newsletters, in part because of a controversy dating to 1996, when Charles “Lefty” Morris, a Democrat running against Paul for a House seat, released excerpts stating that “opinion polls consistently show only about 5% of blacks have sensible political opinions,” that “if you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be,” and that black representative Barbara Jordan is “the archetypical half-educated victimologist” whose “race and sex protect her from criticism.” At the time, Paul’s campaign said that Morris had quoted the newsletter out of context. Later, in 2001, Paul would claim that someone else had written the controversial passages. (Few of the newsletters contain actual bylines.) Caldwell, writing in the Times Magazine last year, said he found Paul’s explanation believable, “since the style diverges widely from his own.”

Vladimir Putin exposed over fake photo to discredit Aleksey Navalny
PUBLISHERS loyal to Vladmir Putin’s All-Russia People’s Front have produced a photo of Russian anti-corruption blogger Aleksey Navalny stood by a smiling Boris Berezovsky. Vladimir Putin hates the exiled Berezovsky. He is also no fan of Mr Navalny. The picture in the newspaper created in the Urals city of Yekaterinburg carries the caption “never hidden”. The claim is that Berezovsky is behind Navalny’s fight against Putin’s re-election as Russian President in March.

Ed Miliband salutes Bob Holness’s work on ‘Blackbusters’
BOB Holness has died. The presenter of TV’s Blockbusters has completed his last Gold Run. In the desire to look in touch and go-ahead, Ed Miliband, the Labour leader (yes, really) gets on twitter and thanks Bob Holness for his work on “Blackbusters”.
Diane Abbott may care to print Ed’s tweet and frame it on her office wall.
Bob, can we have an ‘o’, please, for Blackbusters fan Ed Miliband… (Some on twitter are already hoping he gets ‘sucked’ for this…)

The elite use Diane Abbott racist comments to divide and conquer the white working class
DIANE Abbott MP says white people “love to play divide and rule“. Abbott says this on twitter dying a chat with freelance journalist Bim Adewunmi about black teenager Stephen Lawrence and his racist murderers Gary Dobson, David Norris and whoever else still to be brought to book. She say whites are using a “tactic as old as colonialism“. Is this because black people were always united? Or is it because white people are all racists? The media and her enemies says Diane Abbott needs to explain. Outraged of twitter – that place where fair-minded, right-minded people demand that Emma West be raped and murdered – sense a new target for their hate and intolerance.
(Just as you wonder how worse it can get for Abbott, George #Galloway says on twitter: “Diane has been my friend for 25 years.” Ouch!)
Abbott say her comment has been “taken out of context”.
Tory MP Nadhim Zahawi says the context is that Abbott is a bigot:
“A healthy society should not tolerate any form of racism. DAbott should apologise and resign or EdM must sack her. DAbbott of all people should lead by example. Must resign.”
For what? She should resign as an MP for saying what she thinks? And was it racist? Do whites feel threatened?

Rupert Murdoch shows Twitter support to anti-gay marriage Rick Santorum
TWITTER has gained a Rick Santorum fan named Rupert Murdoch, leaving many to deduce that he’s going to try and buy it. Yeah. He did an incredible job with MySpace didn’t he?
Either way, he’s been spouting off like the rest of us… however, Murdoch has already been offending everybody. In his short time online, he’s already slagged off the whole of the UK, slighted Glenn Beck and, perhaps worst of all, shown his support for an American presidential hopeful who wants to nullify all existing gay marriages.
Murdoch said of Rick Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator who is surging in Iowa polls, Murdoch tweeted Monday night: “Can’t resist this tweet, but all Iowans think about Rick Santorum. Only candidate with genuine big vision for country.” On Sunday he tweeted: “Good to see Santorum surging in Iowa. Regardless of policies, all debates showed principles, consistency and humility like no other.”

Kim Jong Un leads North Korea into ‘Socialist fairylands’
WHAT news of socialism and North Korea, now under the rainbow of Kim Jong Un?
North Korea vowed Sunday to stage an all-out drive for prosperity as it unites behind new leader Kim Jong Un, ushering in 2012 with promises to resolve food shortages, bolster its military and defend Kim Jong Il’s young son “unto death” …
North Korea said it would boost its military, and boasted that it was “at the epochal point of opening the gates of a thriving country,” with parts of Pyongyang “turned into socialist fairylands.”

Giant North Korean soldier watches Kim Jong il ascend to heaven in 1976 Lincoln
THE Giant North Korean soldier caught on camera paying his blood-teared respects to Kim Jong-il of North Korea is not a product of photoshop nor other imperialist trickery. He is in fact 5ft 6in tall Kim Jong Bow, the man North Koreans hail as The Biggest Man In The World (see Kim Jong-il Hennessy Book of Records).
Kim Jong Bow was there to see North Korea’s former leader Kim Jong-il ascend to Heaven in a 1976 Lincoln Convertible.

Margaret Thatcher loved Liverpool because the official records say she did
MARGARET Thatchers’s Cabinet contemplated allowing the post Toxteth riots Liverpool to fester and die. She rejected it. Indeed, Mrs Thatcher detailed Environment Secretary Michael Heseltine to Liverpool as Minister for Merseyside. He would head a drive to pump money into the city.
Delroy Burroughs, a “Community Leader” in Toxteth tells the BBC that the report “exonerated his community”.
It doesn’t. The papers revealed under the 30 Year Rule just tell us what discussions were worthy of note.
What’s also revealed it that Thatcher and her Cabinet talked about the Riot Act. The then Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir David McNee, offered the Riot Act as an option when Thatcher visited Scotland Yard and Brixton police station after the Toxteth riots that had followed the riots in Brixton and Bristol.
The Times notes:
He argued that the best way to keep control was by introducing the power to arrest anyone who was on the streets after a state of riot had been declared by a magistrate. The Riot Act, introduced in 1714, fell into abeyance in the 20th century and was repealed in 1967… Warning of a state of riot could be announced by loud hailer, and arrangements could be made to ensure that a magistrate was always on call,”
It’s the kind of idiocy you expects from the Met, who fail to listen. When people who want to smash things riot, the police’s big idea is to give them a real grievance and be the willing cudgel for the draconian state that see freedoms as luxuries to remove at will.

Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher refused free ironing board
MARGARET Thatcher, currently appearing as Meryl Streep in the cinemas, was once, according to papers released by the national archives, embroiled in a row over the No 10 ironing board. The iron lady was the ironing lady.
To make Downing Street ready for Mrs Thatcher’s moving in, the public purse invested £1,836 in a sprucing up, including £464 on bedding, “replacement crockery” for £209 and £19 for an ironing board.
Nick Sanders, Mrs Thatcher’s private secretary, was unimpressed. He wrote to Whitehall mandarins:
“This must not happen again. It is all too likely that such information will be picked up and used against the Prime Minister at question time.”
Maggie wrote:
“I will pay for the ironing board.”

Kim Jong Un turns South Korea into a ‘sea of revengeful fire’
KIM Jong-il is dead. Men are weeping blood. Women are wailing. Housing estates have dimmed their lights. But fear ye not, North Korea might have stopped for Kim Jong-il’s Princess Diana-themed funeral, but South Korea was wise not to use the opening to launch an attack. Kim Jong Un is more than ready. The Rhetoric Machine has been turned up to 11 and all is as it ever was.
The female announcer on North Korea’s TV stayion tells one and all, on behalf of the National Defence Commission:
“On this occasion, we solemnly declare with confidence that foolish politicians around the world, including the puppet forces in South Korea, should not expect any changes from us.”
Know:
“The sea of bloody tears from our military and people will follow the puppet regime until the end. The tears will turn into a sea of revengeful fire that burns everything.”

Margaret Thatcher urged ‘abandon Liverpool to managed decline’
DID Margaret Thatcher like Liverpool? Those around her didn’t. In the wake of the Toxteth Riots, Margaret Thatcher was secretly urged to abandon Liverpool to a fate of “managed decline”, according to official papers made public for the first time today. Senior ministers in Thatcher’s Conservative government urged her not to waste public money on the “stony ground” of Merseyside, suggesting it would be like “trying to make water flow uphill”.
The riots in Toxteth followed the year’s earlier Brixton riots. Lord Scarman’s reports attributed their cause to “complex political, social and economic factors” leading to “disposition towards violent protest”.
Not all of Thatcher’s children benefitted from the free market and the booming City.

Sarah Palin – You Betcha: Inside the Palins’ Assemblies of God church
SARAH Palin… Do you belive in her? What does Sarah Palin believe in? Nick Broomfield’s Sarah Palin – You Betcha! investigates life inside Palin’s Assemblies of God church.
Near the start of the programme, Palin’s parents explain to Broomfield that the family had left Roman Catholicism and been re-baptised into the Assemblies of God while Sarah was a child. The reason they did this is not given (and Broomfield doesn’t ask), although it seems likely that social pressure played a role: in Alexandria, Egypt, a former classmate named Yvonne Bashelier claimed that Palin and her friends have a “spiritual bond” through the Assemblies of God:
To go against Sarah would be to go against your church, whether you agree with her or not, and going against your church and your community is a pretty powerful thing…
As for non-evangelicals:
A lot of it was unspoken pressure. You just got left out of the group. People wouldn’t speak to you, Sarah would encourage other people not to talk to you.

Aidan Burley joins the Daily Mail’s Nazi party
GOOD to see that the Daily Mail had learnt from its past mistakes, exposing Tory MP Aidan Burley for being at Stag do in France where the looming groom was dressed up as a Nazi and the toff-faced “louts” chanted “Hitler, Hitler, Hitler” and similar things. The Mail realises that such things are wrong. It slammed Prince Harry’s “crashing insensitivity” wearing a Nazi armband to a fancy dress party.
The Mail has eschewed Nazi japes ever since it cheered on the Black Shirts with hearty “Hurrah!” in the 1930s and had Lord Rothmere, the paper’s owner, write in 1933: “The minor misdeeds of individual Nazis would be submerged by the immense benefits the new regime is already bestowing on Germany.”

Magpies falls silent for Kim Jong il (video)
DEAR Leader Kim Jong il is dead. The rainbow has a new colour. A huge bright star shines only over North Korea. And the magpies are silent. The magpies arrived in Unsan the day aftger Kim Jong-il died of extreme fatigue as he sat on a train being pulled by his willing countrymen.
Says a Baik Keun-shik:
“I have been living here, a coal mine village, for about 50 years, but I have never seen a thing like this.”
Ri Yon-souk agrees:
“It’s not just a strange natural phenomenon. It means our ‘Dear Leader’ was a born great man, so nature as well as all the people around the world cannot forget him, we can feel his existence in our warm heart.”

Sleeping Kim Jong il is laid out like a fairytale princess
KIM Jong il is dead. His body has been put on display in glass box. Given that this is Christmas time, you can’t help thinking Kim’s mourners in North Korea and China are waiting for a Prince to ride in and give the leader an awakening kiss, like in the fairytale pantomime.
Prince Harry could do much to improve the West’s relations with North Korea if he can muster the courage to plant a smacker on Kim’s lips. Of course, if Prince Harry breaks the glass, kisses Kim il Jong and then the despot fails to awaken there will be a nuclear war and Harry will look gay and weird. But them’s the risks. Peace in Neverland was never achieved at no cost.
