Pentagon Hides Files on Navy Seals Bin Laden Assassination Mission

MyWay, July 8, 2013: The nation's top special operations commander ordered military files about the Navy SEAL raid on Osama bin Laden's hideout to be purged from Defense Department computers and sent to the CIA, where they could be more easily shielded from ever being made public.

The secret move, described briefly in a draft report by the Pentagon's inspector general, set off no alarms within the Obama administration even though it appears to have sidestepped federal rules and perhaps also the Freedom of Information Act.

An acknowledgement by Adm. William McRaven of his actions was quietly removed from the final version of an inspector general's report published weeks ago. A spokesman for the admiral declined to comment. The CIA, noting that the bin Laden mission was overseen by then-CIA Director Leon Panetta before he became defense secretary, said that the SEALs were effectively assigned to work temporarily for the CIA, which has presidential authority to conduct covert operations.

"Documents related to the raid were handled in a manner consistent with the fact that the operation was conducted under the direction of the CIA director," agency spokesman Preston Golson said in an emailed statement. "Records of a CIA operation such as the (bin Laden) raid, which were created during the conduct of the operation by persons acting under the authority of the CIA Director, are CIA records."

Golson said it is "absolutely false" that records were moved to the CIA to avoid the legal requirements of the Freedom of Information Act.

The records transfer was part of an effort by McRaven to protect the names of the personnel involved in the raid, according to the inspector general's draft report.

But secretly moving the records allowed the Pentagon to tell The Associated Press that it couldn't find any documents inside the Defense Department that AP had requested more than two years ago, and could represent a new strategy for the U.S. government to shield even its most sensitive activities from public scrutiny.

"Welcome to the shell game in place of open government," said Thomas Blanton, director of the National Security Archive, a private research institute at George Washington University. "Guess which shell the records are under. If you guess the right shell, we might show them to you. It's ridiculous."

The Wealth of a Hyper-Power

Fifty-three percent of American wage-earners, or just under 82 million people, earn less than $30,000 per year. The average earnings of those 82 million Americans is $12,500 per year.

If those of the 54th to the 99th percentile by income are defined as the American middle class, the average earnings of middle class Americans is $50,241.

The top one percent of American wage-earners get just over one quarter as much in aggregate as the middle 45%, and slightly less even than the poorest 54%, but individually, they're doing OK, each earning, on average, $1,865,065 per year.

At the tippy top, the highest paid earners, all 93 of them, earned an average of $79,783,529.22 in 2011, which however, must be only a very small fraction of their total income which will have been mainly derived from investments.

International comparisons indicate that income per capita is still higher in America than almost every other country and is only exceeded by that of oil (Qatar, Brunei, Norway), banking (Switzerland, Luxembourg) or city (HongKong, Singapore) states.

By inequality of income distribution, the United States ranks high on the GINI index, alongside, El Salvador, and Peru, Ruanda and Cameroon, Russia and the UK. At the other end of the spectrum are wealthy countries such as Slovenia and Germany, Australia and Switzerland, suggesting that income inequality is not an overriding causal factor in the determination of national wealth.

The Oppression of Emma West: the Politically Correct End Game Plays Out

By Robert Henderson

In November 2011 Emma West was arrested and subsequently charged for a racially aggravated public order offence. The charges concerned her public denunciation of the effects of mass immigration whilst on a tram in Croydon, a suburb of London.

After playing her for nearly twenty months, the politically correct British establishment have finally landed their fish: Miss West has not only been found guilty but mentally ill. She has been given a two year community order for two years and been bound over to keep the peace. The community order is likely to concentrate on probation supervision and “treatment” for her “offending” behaviour. In addition she has been given a mental health treatment order for assaulting a constable dealing with the case.

This is the best of all outcomes for the British elite, because not only have they avoided a contested trial, but her words of resentment at what had happened to her country are now officially deemed to be the result of mental illness amplified by taking two and a half times the recommended dose of the antidepressant Citalopram. In addition, she had drunk one large glass of wine. More on the antidepressant later.

In addition to these pc goodies, Miss West has been persuaded to make a Maoist style admission of fault, including the truly mind-boggling statement by her barrister David Martin-Sperry that the support she had been offered by the likes of the BNP and NF had "deeply distressed his client and, coupled with the pressure of the trial, led her to try and take her own life on three separate occasions.” Really, Mr Martin-Sperry? The support of people who share her views on immigration drove her to attempted suicide?

As for citalopram, the common side effects of this do not include aggression. Indeed, the common effects on mental state are more likely to be either sedative (the drug may create drowsiness) or anxiety. Other common effects are problems with concentration and memory. Aggression can be associated with the drug but it is very uncommon (1 in 1,000 takers experience such an effect according to the NHS guidance).

The video of part of the Croydon tram event does not show Miss West either being mentally confused or exhibiting an uncontrolled aggression. In fact, bearing in mind she had her six year-old son with her and was surrounded by many racial and ethnic minority people, she demonstrated a distinct command of herself. To ascribe her complaints, as her barrister did, to the effects of the drug plus the wine producing “unusual ideas”, is dubious in the extreme because her demeanour did not suggest she was in the grip of a drug-induced frenzy. Moreover, what is “unusual” about being appalled by the effects of mass immigration? The drug “explanation” of course fits in with the politically correct idea that no one could have such views if they were of normal mind.

The Killer Fact

The killer fact in the case is this, the authorities did not bring her to trial while she was offering a plea of NOT GUILTY. The not guilty plea was maintained for a very long time (19 Months) until June this year (19 months) when doubtless ground down by the delay and the constant threat of having her son taken from her, she changed her plea to GUILTY. That removed the embarrassment or worse of having a contested trial on the subject that the British elite fear most: honest talking about immigration and its consequences.

Consider what the supposedly liberal, ostentatiously caring powers-that-be were prepared to do to a seriously ill woman to avoid a contested trial. Her psychiatric history is lengthy and severe (she had been receiving treatment for depression since she was 18) and includes suicide attempt. She also suffered the rarity of being “sectioned” (taken into residential psychiatric care against her will) for treatment not long before her episode on the tram.

Despite this medical background, she was refused bail when first arrested and was originally remanded for more than a month (she was released after eight days following protests) in the highest security woman’s prison in England HMP Bronzefield. Contemptibly, the authorities tried to claim her custody was for her own safety despite the fact that Miss West had not claimed she felt under threat. She then went through the torment of having her case scheduled no less than seven times before changing her plea to guilty, while all the time living with the threat of having her son taken away. Indeed, she is still living with that because the social services may decide she is unfit because she has exhibited in their eyes “racist tendencies.” Furthermore, according to her barrister “There have been threats to burn her house, she has been physically assaulted and beaten to the ground outside her home” It would be interesting to know if her assailant is being prosecuted.

Her Barrister did his best to get the case thrown out:

Ending the Hegemony of Liberal Economic Ideas and Western Economic Stagnation

The other day, I ridiculed Niall Ferguson's new book, the Great Degeneration, which claimed to be about the "causes of our stationary state," i.e., Western economic stagnation, in which he devoted a total of seven lines to the actual cause of the current Western economic standstill, before launching into four chapters of hand waving about institutional degeneration, a cause for concern perhaps, but laughable as an explanation of why China and many other Third World countries boom while unemployment and social unrest swell throughout the West. Here, then, I put Ferguson straight as to the West's relative economic decline.

First, though, Ferguson's only reference to the actual causes of Western decline:

In the United States, the wider debate is about globalization, technological change, education and fiscal policy. Conservatives tend to emphasize the first and second as inexorable drivers of change, destroying low-skilled jobs by "offshoring" or automating them. Liberals prefer to see widening inequality as the result of insufficient investment in public education, combined with Republican reductions in taxation that have favored the wealthy.

Amazing, really, that anyone could claim to have the explanation of Western economic decline without further reference the destruction of jobs by offshoring and automation.

The bit about liberals preferring to see Western economic stagnation as the result of poor education and low taxes, is, in fact, irrelevant. Liberals are globalists, who naturally, therefore, seek explanations for the destructive consequences of their policies that exculpate them from blame while at the same time promoting policies that line their pockets. High taxes and more government spending on welfare, healthcare, and education mean more jobs for the educated middle class that fill the ranks of the bureaucracy in jobs so well paid that government towns such as Washington, DC, Ottawa, Ont., and Brussels, the EU capital, are now among the wealthiest jurisdictions in the West.

But let's consider in terms of basic economics why Western economies have stagnated or begun to shrink:

What does it take for an economy to grow? More production, obviously.

And what does it take to increase production? More demand, obviously.

And what does it take to increase demand? More income, obviously.

Yes, in the short run, debt comes into it. If folks go deeper into debt, they can consume more, which is one reason why central banks have fought the current depression by keeping interest rates at something close to zero.

But in the long-run debt has to be repaid, so increasing debt or discouraging debt deleverage is no solution to Western economic decline.

So the answer to the question of how to end Western economic stagnation is simple. It is to increase incomes.

Less simple, is the question of how?

A stupid liberal idea to increase incomes is to do it by government fiat: which is to say by imposing minimum wage laws. All Western governments have done this in the face of the obvious fact that a minimum wage law either denies work to those whose labor is worth less than the minimum wage or it compels them to work in the unregulated underground economy, where they receive neither the minimum wage nor the protection of workplace health and safety standards.

Another stupid liberal idea is to pay people, millions and tens of millions of them, not to work. These are people receiving unemployment pay, sick pay, maternity pay, disability benefits and welfare. In addition, are millions of elderly people who, choosing to retire earlier than necessary, receive non-contributory retirement or old age pensions or other benefits.

 Because all these sources of income, which we will refer to collectively as welfare, tend to make not working more attractive than working, they increase the number of people who could work and gain income for themselves who opt instead to live at the expense of the taxpayer, with the result that total spendable income of society as a whole is reduced.

A third stupid liberal idea is to keep people of average and even less than average intelligence in school for decades, which constitutes another form of welfare, inasmuch as the taxpayer funds the educational infrastructure and much of the running cost. Furthermore, by keeping young people out of the workforce where they would gain work experience that would enhance their earnings potential, it lowers their life-time earnings. 

So what to do?

First, abolish the minimum wage.

Second, abolish welfare.

Third, introduce a tax-department-administered income supplement for those who are employed but who earn less than what used to be the minimum wage.

Two things will result.

First, every worker unable to get a job at minimum wage will now find work at a lower wage, which will, nevertheless, net them an income equal to something like the now abolished minimum wage.

Second, employers in the West will now be on something closer to a level playing field, in terms of wages, with companies in Asia and Africa, where manufacturing wages are on average less than 5% of those in the West.

What will it cost? Less, almost certainly, than the welfare programs to be abolished, which have huge overhead costs, but with the following  benefits.

It will eliminate the social costs of unemployment, including much crime, drug abuse, loss of work skills, mental illness, and social unrest.

It will lead to the creation of thousands, tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of small businesses, as the creation of a cheap labor resource once again makes it possible for people in the West to make shoes and shirts, computers and car parts for one another, rather than importing them from the sweatshops of the Third World.

And it will release tens and hundreds of thousands of able and educated people now unproductively employed in the welfare bureaucracy into the market economy where many will demonstrate the entrepreneurial talent to create businesses employing those who were formerly unemployed and unproductive wards of the state.

The net result will be an increase in GDP and an increase in income with which the addition to GDP can be consumed.

But liberals are determined that you will never understand this, for the increasingly demoralized peoples of the West are targeted for extinction as racial, cultural and religious communities, to be replaced by a mongrelized globalized workforce without attachment to, or even knowledge of, the Western tradition of freedom and civil rights.

Alexandr Dugin: How the West, having destroyed its own tradition, seeks the destruction and enslavement of all other societies

Alexandr Dugin on Potential Allies in the Global Revolution

... I consider the “White nationalists” allies when they refuse modernity, the global oligarchy and liberal-capitalism, in other words everything that is killing all ethnic cultures and traditions. The modern political order is essentially globalist and based entirely on the primacy of individual identity in opposition to community. It is the worst order that has ever existed and it should be totally destroyed. When “White nationalists” reaffirm Tradition and the ancient culture of the European peoples, they are right. But when they attack immigrants, Muslims or the nationalists of other countries based on historical conflicts; or when they defend the United States, Atlanticism, liberalism or modernity; or when they consider the White race (the one which produced modernity in its essential features) as being the highest and other races as inferior, I disagree with them completely.

More than this, I can’t defend Whites when they are in opposition to non-Whites because, being White and Indo-European myself, I recognize the differences of other ethnic groups as being a natural thing, and do not believe in any hierarchy among peoples, because there is not and cannot be any common, universal measure by which to measure and compare the various forms of ethnic societies or their value systems. I am proud to be Russian exactly as Americans, Africans, Arabs or Chinese are proud to be what they are. It is our right and our dignity to affirm our identity, not in opposition to each other but such as it is: without resentment against others or feelings of self-pity.

...Soon the world will descend into chaos. The financial system is going to collapse. Disorder, ethnic and social conflicts will be breaking out everywhere. Europe is doomed. Asia is in tumult. The oceans of immigrants everywhere will overthrow the existing order. The present system will be broken and disbanded.

After this transitional period, direct global dictatorship will be implemented. We should be prepared and start to organize the global resistance right now – the planetary network of traditionalists, Conservative Revolutionaries, Heideggerians, the partisans of the Fourth Political Theory and multipolarity, and non-conformists of all sorts – a kind of Sacred Front beyond Right and Left, and consisting of different, older political and ideological taxonomies. All three of the political theories have been phased out of modernity, and also out of conventional and assumed history. We, and also our enemies, are entering absolutely new ground.

Every traditionalist should ask himself (or herself) the following questions:

... The Fourth Political Theory struggles for the cause of all peoples, but it is not made for the people. It is a call to the intellectual elite of every human society, and rejects hegemony in all senses (philosophical, social, and political). This time, the people cannot help us. This time, we must help the people.

Opposing us is nothing more than an intellectual elite, but it is a hegemonic one. All its material power is nothing but an illusion and a phantasm: its texts, discourse and words are what really counts. Its force lays in its thought. And it is on the level of thought that we have to fight and, finally, win. Everything material that opposes us is actually nothing but pure privation. Only thought really exists.

It is easy to manipulate the masses, much easier than to persuade the few. Quantity is the enemy of quality – the more so, the worse. The capitalist elite thinks differently. That error will be fatal. For them. And we are going to prove it.

We need an open, undogmatic Front that is beyond Right and Left.

We have prepared for the coming moment of opportunity for too long. But now, finally, it is not so far in the future.

We will change the course of history.

The Clintons and Other Self-Hating White Liberals, No. 47

Chelsea Clinton Laments: My Great Grandmother Did Not Have Access to Planned Parenthood

Which raises the question: are the Clintons really, really stupid, or are they for the extinction of the European peoples in America.

Apparently, it is the latter.

As Bill Clinton stated in his commencement address at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon June 13, 1998:

Today, largely because of immigration, there is no majority race in Hawaii or Houston or New York City. Within five years, there will be no majority race in our largest state, California. In a little more than 50 years, there will be no majority race in the United States. No other nation in history has gone through demographic change of this magnitude in so short a time … [These immigrants] are energizing our culture and broadening our vision of the world. They are renewing our most basic values and reminding us all of what it truly means to be American.

Evidently Chelsea's thinking is that if, a few generations ago, the white race had been strangled at birth or slaughtered in the womb, there would be no white race problem today. No Clinton's either, which would have been a plus.

Niall Ferguson: The Decline of the West Explained – Not

In his latest book, pot boiler, extended magazine article in hard covers for 28 bucks, whatever, Niall Ferguson sets out to explain why the nations of the West, so long dominant in scientific and technical skills, wealth and power, are now stagnating economically as China and much of the rest of the Third World rise in power and prosperity at an unprecedented rate.

The trouble, thinks Feguson, is the problem that Adam Smith identified as the cause of China's economic stagnation in the 18th century: it is, he argues, our institutions. Our institutions of democracy, capitalism, the rule of law, and civil society, he says, have degenerated, resulting in the the concentration of wealth, the emergence of monopolies, a decline in educational standards and other ills that have resulted in a loss of Western competitiveness.

In form, Ferguson's book is reminiscent of those vaguely interesting and generally incoherent lectures to which so many have been exposed during undergraduate education: a few interesting facts and ideas with many loose ends, leaving unlimited scope for further debate and literary output.

But as an account of the stagnation and relative decline of the West, Ferguson's effort is almost entirely futile other than as an exercise in misdirection, distraction and cover-up.

If the institutions of democracy in the West are degenerating, those of the extraordinarily dynamic China are essentially non-existent. If the rule of law in America is increasingly the "rule of lawyers," in China it is a concept barely even understood. If free and fair competition in Western economies has diminished as capital has been concentrated in fewer hands, China' state capitalism is the complete antithesis of the free and fair market that underlay Adam Smith's invisible hand. As for the the institutions of civil society, the West is still incomparably free compared with China where even association for the purpose of religious worship is prohibited.

So while Western institutions are in decline, China's are absolute crap. Yet still China's economy booms as the West stagnates. Clearly, then, there's more to Western economic decline than the inadequacy of some vaguely defined sets of institutions.

 To discover what has stultified the West, it is necessary to consider what drives economic expansion, and the answer to that is quite simple: increased investment and production. But you cannot have increased investment and production unless there are markets for the increased output, and there will only be markets for the increased output if the new production is competitively priced. But how can new output in the West be competitively priced when the legally mandated minimum wage in America and Europe is between ten and twenty or more times the rate paid factory workers in the Third World?

This is the simple, obvious brute fact that explains Western economic stagnation, to which Niall Ferguson, like any other tenured professor at a top US or UK university, must carefully avoid drawing attention.

The consequences of the fact of Western wage uncompetitiveness with the Third World are as obvious as this one basic fact itself.

Once the Uraguay Round of the Gatt (which led to the creation of the World Trade Organization) was signed by the Western states in 1994, the Western economies were on the skids.

It took a while, naturally, to export Western capital and technology, accumulated through the sweat of generations, to the Third World.

Collapsed Bangladesh factory where Loblaws of Canada (62% owned by
billionaire George Weston) outsourced manufacture of its Joe Fresh line
of apparel. More than one thousand workers died in the collapse, but as
George Weston remarked, they need the work. Garment workers in Canada
presumably do not need the work, or if they do, would be much more
expensive to hire.

It took a while, naturally, to construct the factories, build the research centers, train the engineers, biotechnologists, the computer scientists, and the millions of production line workers in China, India, Bangladesh and a hundred other countries before the Third World was in a position to take the jobs of tens of millions of Western workers.

But the system's in place now and the jobs have been bleeding away rapidly during the last ten years, the loss masked in part by housing bubbles that stimulated the construction industry, which is among the few that cannot be off-shored wholesale.

But now the real estate bubbles have burst or are bursting and the shrinking Western economies are plagued by deflation, falling incomes, rapidly rising welfare costs and unemployment, and ominous rumblings of social discontent. Add to the mix mass immigration of culturally disparate elements, which displaces from the workforce the least competent members of the indigenous population, and you have a recipe for both economic decline and revolution.

Hyperventilating about the degeneration of our social, legal and political institutions or getting everyone to join the Lions Club won't solve the problem created by the treason of our elites, who have sold out the working people of America and Europe for the benefit of the money power, which has gained enormous profits through the success of globalized corporations such as IBM, Apple, Microsoft, and many others.

The only remaining question of real interest is whether the money power will get away with the genocide of the Western nations in its bid for a system of global financial feudalism. And an answer to that question, we can be sure, will not be made available by Niall Ferguson or any other member of the academic elite until such time as the question has become entirely academic.

Canada and Nato in Syria: Backing the Al Qaeda Cannibals Versus Assad's Thugs

Having lost major wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, plus embarking on various futile murderous forays into Pakistan, Yemen and sundry other places in Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia, the US has now, it appears, decided to launch a war against the legitimate government, however unpleasant, of Syria on what appear to be the entirely spurious basis that Assad's "Thug" regime is killing its own people with toxic gas.

In fact, according to some sources, it is the al Qaeda cannibals backed by the humanity-loving West, who are using poisonous gases in Syria under the direction of US advisers in Jordan and Turkey.

According to George Bush "Fool me once, shame on ......... you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." But not so, apparently, with the American people. The same bollocks works well every time the war lobby sets out to kill another few hundred thousand people in the name of democracy and humanity at a cost of trillions to the taxpayer.

The Real Threat to British Elites

By Steve Sailer

Taki's Mag, June 5, 2013: Recent incidents of Muslims behaving badly—such as the butchering of British soldier Lee Rigby by two Islamic-convert African immigrants, the riots in Stockholm, and the never-ending revelations about numerous Pakistani pimps “grooming” very young white English girls for being gang-banged by their relatives—has European elites terrified…of European commoners.

For example, last week the European Parliament secretly voted to retroactively strip French nationalist Marine Le Pen, who won 17.9% of the national vote in the first round of the 2012 presidential election, of parliamentary immunity for comments made during her successful campaign for a law against prostration in the streets of France, opening her to prosecution for “hate speech.”

Similarly, the frequently feckless English police responded to the carnage in Woolwich by arresting social-media users.

British leaders repeatedly swept the Muslim statutory gang-rapist phenomenon under the rug for over a decade. Way back in 2001, Nick Griffin of the British National Party began to point out that Pakistani pimps in Britain were targeting white girls under 16.

It’s most useful to think of this practice not so much as pedophilia—a bizarre fetish—but as economically rational whoremastering. Pakistani pimps focus on recruiting very young postpubescent English girls because they are so naïve.

“It’s European men—with their talent for self-organization—who frighten Europe’s ruling class.”

As we’ve seen in recent years, Muslim male-chauvinist cultures that treat females like dirt tend to nurture males who have a knack for living off women’s earnings. Thus, Albanian pimps have come to dominate the European sex-slave trade. And the various Chechen layabouts who have been in the news in America since the Boston bombing have displayed a remarkable gift for getting attractive women to throw their lives away on them.

In contrast, women-respecting Swedes seldom make talented pimps.

In the many Pakistani grooming cases in England, Ali G types would convince silly little white girls that they were their boyfriends, provide them with drugs, then browbeat them into proving their love by having sex at a party with all the pimps’ Uncle Jamaals.
The genius of the system is that the pimps don’t pay the girls, not even their room and board. After each party, they dump them back at their moms’ council flats.

Is this rape?

Of course. These girls are adolescents, far too young to give consent to being gang-banged.

Is it racial?

Feminist Susan Brownmiller’s 1975 bestseller Against Our Will famously argued that “rape is a crime not of lust, but power.” That’s obviously missing much of the point. And yet conquest and rape seem to go together.

It might seem insane that this kind of Bronze Age predatory pattern would work so well in a sophisticated country such as England, but that’s exactly why it worked: Noticing patterns is now derided as “stereotyping.”

Moreover, the highest priority in Europe is to never provide any fodder for right-wing organizations. Thus, a decade ago when a Channel 4 documentary crew working on a snoozer about social workers in Bradford stumbled upon this widespread practice, the police insisted that Channel 4 postpone the documentary because it might help the BNP in upcoming elections. The network complied.

Canada Returns to the NeoCon Fold. Seeks Ouster of Thug Syrian Regime by US-Backed Cannibals

The Star, June 16, 2013: DUBLIN, IRELAND—On the eve of a summit of world leaders, Prime Minister Stephen Harper castigated Russian President Vladimir Putin for supporting “the thugs of the Assad regime” in Syria and said there’s no reason to hope other G8 leaders can convince Putin to help depose the Syrian strongman.

Harper, who wants an end to the dictatorship of President Bashar Assad to halt the bloody civil war in the Middle Eastern nation, went so far as to suggest Putin doesn’t deserve to sit at the table with leaders of some of the most advanced industrial democracies.

“I don’t think we should fool ourselves,” Harper said, using what may be his toughest language ever on the international stage. “This is the G7 plus one. Let’s be blunt, that’s what this is: the G7 plus one.”

Meantime, Zbigniew Brzezinski slams US policy on Syria

Washington Examiner, June 14, 2013: The president's abrupt decision to arm Syrian rebels is a huge mistake, one driven by emotion and propaganda not they kind of strategic White House plan that has marked past successful interventions in civil wars, according to former Carter-era national security chief Zbigniew Brzezinski.

In a broad attack on President Obama's vague interventionist policy, the highly-respected international affairs analyst warned that by jumping in to Syria's civil war with no plan is likely to lead to another costly and extended military action that could eventually draw U.S. forces into a clash with Syria's top ally Iran.

"I think our posture is baffling, there no strategic design, we're using slogans," slammed Brzezinski on MSNBC's Morning Joe Friday. "It's a tragedy and it's a mess in the making," he said. "I do not see what the United States right now is trying to accomplish."

The bill covers “the dissemination of information, aimed at forming among minors [1] nontraditional sexual orientations, [2] an attraction to nontraditional sexual relationships, [3] a distorted perception about the social equal value of traditional and nontraditional sexual relationships, or [4] the imposition of information about nontraditional sexual relationships, creating an interest in such relationships” (translation mine). Russia Beyond the Headlines quotes “the State Duma’s committee on family, women’s and children’s affairs, Yelena Mizulina” as saying that “The term homosexuality [used in the first reading of the relevant bill] will not be used, we will use the term non-traditional sexual relations.”

The bill “was supported by 436 members of the 450-seat lower house” and “needs presidential endorsement to become law.”

Alberta Fire's Entire Health Services Board, Never To Be Replaced

Dull though Canada may seem to the outsider, amusing things nevertheless sometimes happen here. A leaked video of Prime Minister Stephen Harper doing take-offs of his predecessors provides one example. Funnier, some will think, and perhaps more significant, was yesterday's massacre of Alberta's highest paid healthcare administrators. That story may even have a moral, though if so, we leave it to the reader to decide what.

By Don Braid

Calgary Herald, June 12, 2013: Alberta Health Services has had its share of bizarre moments, but it’s unlikely that anything will ever top the past two days, with the entire AHS board getting itself fired after fighting the government - for the sacred right to raise executive pay.

As excuses for a mass firing go, that’s a great one. But Health Minister Fred Horne’s move puts AHS into a whole new world. There will be an “official administrator” - Janet Davidson - and no board members at all. Horne did not say he will ever appoint another board.

Obviously, we’ll see a monument to perks champion Mike Duffy before there’s another health care uprising in Alberta. Nor will there be any more board meetings like the chaotic, embarrassing mess on Tuesday.

As the entire board thumbed its nose at the government, the meeting descended into weirdness even beyond ex-CEO Stephen Duckett’s 2010 departure after his cookie-eating episode, and the subsequent resignation of several board members.

Why did the AHS board stand up for $3.2 million in executive pay top-ups, even while hundreds of care workers and nurses are being laid off?

“At the end of the day, it’s a word called integrity,” chairman Stephen Lockwood said. “And while I’m the leader or chair of this board, we’ll continue to operate with integrity.”

Lockwood said he and the board were fighting for “autonomy” and the right to make decisions without interference from politicians.

“The world of politics is foreign to me, really,” said this man of painfully starched rectitude, one of the oddest figures to stride across Alberta’s public stage in many years.

“The world I live in is a world of right and wrong.”

The principles are noble, but Lockwood and his board took their last stand over an absurd freedom - the right to award pay perks to the highest-paid people in health care, with no apparent concern for the jarring clash with front-line realities of cuts and layoffs.

How Google, Facebook, Skype, Yahoo and AOL are all blatantly lying to their own users in denying NSA spy grid scheme

NaturalNews, June 8, 2013: What do Google, AOL, Skype, Facebook, Apple, Hotmail and Yahoo all have in common? They have all been caught turning over private user data to the government's spy agency, the NSA. All these companies routinely turn over the emails, voice calls, text chats, photos, files and even logins and passwords of their users, including Americans.

"There is a massive apparatus within the United States government that with complete secrecy has been building this enormous structure that has only one goal," journalist Glenn Greenwald recently told Piers Morgan (who knows all about spying and hacking people's private data). "And that is to destroy privacy and anonymity not just in the United States but around the world."

Tech companies rush to issue (false) denials

Immediately after these revelations surfaced over the past few days, all these companies began denying any involvement with the NSA. "Google CEO Larry Page and Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg are denying reports that depict two of the Internet’s most influential companies as willing participants in a secret government program that gives the National Security Agency unfettered access to email and other personal information transmitted on various online services," reports the San Francisco branch of CBS News.

But what nobody is yet revealing is that all these companies are required by law to LIE to their own customers about secret government surveillance.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, you see, makes it a federal crime for any company participating in the surveillance to publicly acknowledge the existence of that surveillance. Thus, executives at Facebook, Google, Skype and others would all face arrest and federal prosecution as "terrorists" if they admitted the truth to their own users.

That's just how far down the rabbit hole this government surveillance program goes: Not only does the government spy on you and everything you do -- "they quite literally can watch your ideas as you type" -- the government can also force all the tech companies cooperating with the spying to publicly deny the existence of the program.

But the New York Times -- yes, the NYT which hardly ever engages is actual journalism -- has gone public with an article confirming that these tech companies did, indeed, concede to the NSA surveillance program. "They opened discussions with national security officials about developing technical methods to more efficiently and securely share the personal data of foreign users in response to lawful government requests. And in some cases, they changed their computer systems to do so," says the NYT in an article titled Tech Companies Concede to Surveillance Program.

Except it wasn't just "foreign users," it turns out. The program quickly ballooned to encompass users in the United States, too. The NYT goes on to report:

In at least two cases, at Google and Facebook, one of the plans discussed was to build separate, secure portals, like a digital version of the secure physical rooms that have long existed for classified information, in some instances on company servers. Through these online rooms, the government would request data, companies would deposit it and the government would retrieve it, people briefed on the discussions said.

This is how companies like Google and Facebook can claim, with a straight face, that the NSA doesn't have "backdoor access to our servers." They don't need it! What actually happens is that Google, Facebook, Yahoo and others simply deposit all user data at another location -- a "gateway" where the NSA copies it off.

Now you understand how to correctly parse this fake denial by Google's chief executive Larry Page, who says, "The U.S. government does not have direct access or a 'back door' to the information stored in our data centers."

It doesn't need "direct access." It has INDIRECT access that was set up by Google!

Here's the slide from the top secret PRISM program that tells the truth. (Click here for the original source page at the Washington Post).

Emma West: Abused and Traduced By the State

According to Emma West's friend, Kerry Finch, Emma West is not a racist. She is a sick woman, who has long suffered from severe depression and was heavily medicated with Citalopram, an antidepressant with perception distoriting side effects, at the time she engaged in a videoed rant on a Croydon tram, in which she pointed out, that other passengers were "not English" and urged them to "go back to your own country":

Said Ms. Finch: "Emma isn't a racist. She lost it because she is very unwell and lashed out in a way she knew would upset whoever happened to be there.

"Had the tram been full of pretty people she would have been calling them slags and prostitutes."

West, a former dental receptionist, has suffered from depression since she was 18, and had been admitted to a psychiatric unit in Purley a month before her tram tirade in October 2011.

As reported by the Croydon Advertiser:

 Miss Finch said that West had been sectioned under the Mental Health Act after attacking and hurling abuse at her for being "pretty".

Two days after being released, she went to see a therapist with her son at the Tamworth Road Resource Centre, in West Croydon.

"The session was pretty tough," said Miss Finch.

"She had spoken about things she hadn't spoken about before.

"Afterwards she had a glass of wine at lunch. It doesn't sound like much but on the medication she was on, it's always been enough to set her off."

West had taken 100mg of antidepressant Citalopram, more than twice the recommended limit.

Her barrister, David Martin-Sperry, said a recognised side-effect of the drug was developing "unusual ideas".

"When she got on the tram it was really busy," said Miss Finch.

"She was holding her son and no-one would give up their seat.

"Someone knocked into her and her son fell on the floor.

"That's when she behaved so despicably."

Though her rant, which included "You aren't British, you're black", was caught on camera by another passenger, no-one reported the incident to the police.

Oh, never mind that she was sick.

Indeed thank God for the mentally unstable, otherwise the genocidal state would have no one to make an example of.

Emma West drew the attention of millions to the fact that the English have been ethnically cleansed from South Croydon, as from many other urban centres in England. For that she must be punished for what she is, an opponent of genocide by mass immigration, otherwise known as genocide by anti-racism.

What would be good to see is an English rights group fund a first rate legal team to sue all the scoundrel newspapers and broadcasters who've called Emma West a racist. Unfortunately, the English rights movement seems to have been taken over by agents of the Security Service, clowns and ruffians like Nick Griffin and Tommy Robinson aka Yackety-Lemon, alias Paul McMasters, alias Paul Harris and sundry other names, who serves very well to discredit any expression of English opposition to national destruction.  

Canada Defects From the Neocon War Coalition

I want you to think very seriously over this question of poison gas. ... It is absurd to consider morality on this topic when everybody used it in the last war without a word of complaint from the moralists or the Church. On the other hand, in the last war bombing of open cities was regarded as forbidden. Now everybody does it as a matter of course. It is simply a question of fashion changing as she does between long and short skirts for women.
Memo from Winston Churchill to General Ismay, July 6, 1944

While Israel bombs Syria, and Britain and  France move closer to openly arming the Al Qaeda terrorists engaged in the Syrian civil war, Canada is out of step, urging restraint.

In a May 16 interview, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who until recently, never saw a NeoCon war for Israel, oil and global empire that he didn't like said:

On Syria, I see a lot of criticism about inaction. I look at Syria over the last couple of years, and I would urge the president and everybody else extraordinary caution in jumping into this situation.

That was in stark contrast with the position taken by Canada's former Liberal Party leader, Michael Ignatieff, who in March, citing the R2P (Responsibility to Protect, aka our Right to Petroleum), urged outright, on the ground, Western participation in the war to overthrow the legitimate government of Syria:

I think the time has come for Canada to support the ... Syrian opposition... I think that Canada, as a member of NATO could play a very useful role in being part of the team that brings help to the liberated areas. What would really be damaging for the future would be if ordinary Syrians said “we freed our province” or “we freed our region, our town from air strikes and occupation and Assad’s troops and you did nothing to help us set up a free Syria.”

The Government of Canada, however, remains true to its anti-war stance, with Foreign Affairs minister, John Baird stating as recently as last week:

The only way to bring an end to the suffering of the Syrian people is a political solution. Over the past two-and-a-half years, we've seen more arms only led to more bloodshed, more suffering.

Meantime, the US threatens to seize Bashar al-Assad's toxic gas stockpile.

So what is going on? The Tory party of Canada, for so long subservient to the Israeli interest, is now in direct conflict with the powerful Canadian Israel lobby.

The simplest hypothesis is that it is the Israel lobby that has defected from the Tories, rather than the Tories having defected from the Israel lobby. Harper looks increasingly like a lame-duck leader, and Ignatieff's comments on Syria suggest that the Liberals are happy to offer submission to the lobby in exchange for its backing in the next Federal election.

But why would Harper risk antagonizing the Lobby by making Canada an outspoken opponent of open Western intervention in the Syrian civil war?  Two factors are likely prominent in Harper's mind.

First, the West's proxy war, waged by Al Qaeda and other Western-backed terrorist gangs is going badly. The Russians have not backed down from their commitment to supply Syria with the long-range S300 anti-aircraft missile system, which means that any attempt by NATO to impose a no-fly zone over Syria (i.e.,  a wide-ranging aerial bombing attack on Syrian Government forces) would be costly in aircraft and airmen's lives. And intervention on the ground could be even more costly, Syria now being assisted not only by Russian technicians setting up the S300 missile system, but powerful Hezbollah forces and North Korea advisers (i.e., Chinese proxies).

Second, US backing for the war on Syria, is probably not what it seems. The United States, has made NeoCon noises about Syria, but Obama, who according to ex-Presidential CIA briefer, Ray McGovern, lives in deep fear of assassination, shows little enthusiasm for the overthrow of the Syrian Government. Indeed, he is likely more concerned with the possible overthrow of his own government (perhaps as the result of a direct military coup, as argued by the highly unreliable but not altogether implausible Webster Tarpley), which the Israelis and the Israel lobby attempted to defeat during the last election.

Most likely, therefore, Harper, ever the strategist, finding himself jilted by the Israel lobby, has opted to serve as a stalking horse for Obama's cryptic no-more-Neocon-wars policy. The payoff, naturally, will be an assist to the Tories from the US Government during Canada's 2015 Federal election — or at the least, no tilt to the Liberals.

Sixty Years of British Brutality, Stupidity, and Genocidal Self-Destruction

(A) Brutality

This month, UK Foreign Secretary, William Hague, admitted what has long been know that Kenyans were tortured in the 1960's during the Mau Mau uprising against British Colonial rule.

Meantime the United Nations Torture Watchdog has called on Britain to widen and speed up investigations into allegations that British forces tortured detainees in Iraq and Afghanistan and prosecute those responsible.

Which is to say that torture remains standard practice with Britain's armed forces, a fact curiously never mentioned by Britain's heroic, self-proclaimed, anti-torture "whistle-blower," and advocate of the New World Order, former UK Ambassador, Craig Murray.

(B) Stupidity

The Mismanagement of Britain, a report by a former UK Treasury official concludes that:

• [Since 1970] The UK has experienced a long run decline in its general international competitiveness – not just against the emerging economies of the Far East, but also against other advanced economies.

• There has been an increasing deficit in the UK trading account in general goods and services funded mainly by North Sea oil revenue in the1980s and reliance on the financial sector since the 1990s.

• The UK economy has become like a very large bank, with international assets and liabilities that exceed 700 per cent of GDP.

• In three periods (the late 1970s, the late 1980s, and from about 2002 to 2008), the exchange rate was allowed to appreciate even though internal price levels were rising significantly. Policy-makers appeared blind to the resulting loss of competitiveness and its impact on the manufacturing base of the economy. This seems to be the result of misguided pride in having an apparently strong currency.

• Policy makers ignored that the underlying balance of trade in goods and services, which had been flattered for a time by oil revenues, was deteriorating rapidly: and that the deficit was being covered by borrowing, and by current income, both largely dependent on the financial sector.

• Policy-makers ignored risks the financial sector might pose to the economy, and how unstable the tax revenues derived from the financial sector might be.

• Decisions were regularly taken with the primary focus of benefiting or protecting the financial sector, but which were not in the interests of the wider economy.

• Any economy which had, as the UK economy did in 2009, a public sector deficit equivalent to over 11 per cent of GDP is poorly managed.

• The economy has been weakened by the financial sector, which means that the present model of the UK economy is unlikely to cope with the next serious shock to the financial sector.

• Almost a quarter of the UK economy’s external assets (equal to 240% of the UK's GDP) consist in financial derivatives.

• Confidence among international investors in the UK economy is deteriorating.

• The current model of the UK economy is unsustainable.

• The assets and liabilities of the British economy double every nine years relative to GDP. This rate of growth cannot continue indefinitely. When this growth does stop the income of the City of London from managing this growth will drop rapidly.

• The present model of the UK economy is at severe risk of imposing substantial burdens on the UK taxpayer, and could simply collapse.

(C) Genocidal Self-Destruction

The arrival of thousands of workers from eastern Europe has had “great advantages” for Britain, says John Bercow, speaker of Britain's House of Commons.

Bilderberg 2013. The ugly faces of globalization. Source.

In remarks that have raised questions about his political neutrality, the Speaker also attacked British critics of recent trends in immigration for their “bellicose and strident tone”.

What this smarmy cunt ignores is that whereas there are about 50 million Britons, excluding about ten million recent immigrants and their descendants, there are seven billion other people on this planet, which means that for every job in Britain there is something like one Briton versus 140 other potential applicants. From which it follows that not only is every Briton whose been done out of a job by an immigrant less well qualified than the immigrant who took that job but just about every other Briton including the Speaker of the House of Commons is a damn sight less competent than the best possible immigrant who might be found to replace them.

So what is this twat Bercow saying? He's saying fuck the English, if its more profitable to employ a foreigner, that's what we're gonna let every employer, including the gigantic overbloated British Government, do.

Thing is Berky, members of the House of Commons are supposed to represent the common people of England, not the whole goddam population of the world, so what you're saying amounts to treason. which is of course, what the whole British establishment is engaged in. The end game is the abolition of not only Britain as a unified nation, but the destruction of the British people as a single group with a national identity and a cultural, religious and racial homogeneity. Which means that all the blah about diversity amounts to a concerted globalist plan to destroy human diversity, reducing all mankind to one bastard race, lacking the beautiful local adaptation and chance variation that it has acquired through tens of thousands of years of natural selection.

And with the destruction of human diversity, biological and cultural, will be the subjugation of mankind to a culture that is nothing more than a byproduct of the commercial system or a construct of the system of politically correct indoctrination designed to reduce the masses to a slave caste entirely at the disposal of the money power.

Another Twat American Billionaire

San Francisco billionaire, Tom Steyer, vows to block Keystone XL pipeline

As the New Word Ordure gets underway, very rich American twats are openly asserting their intention to dictate public policy, national interest, public interest or the wishes of the majority be damned.

Tom Steyer, is the founder of Farallon Capital Management, L.L.C., a pioneer in “absolute return” investing, that produces a positive return regardless of the directions of financial markets. He evidently has the Midas touch, but why does that grant him the right to dictate public policy? Simple. Because he's incredibly rich, so his opinion counts for more than that of 300 million Americans.

For American billionaires with an axe to grind, their time has come. They can deploy as much cash as they like to elect friends and destroy foes, to  dictate policy or prohibit it, and to shape public discourse.

Naturally, the new rulers are taking good care to control the flow of money in perpetuity. Thus, reports the New American:

A former insider at the World Bank, ex-Senior Counsel Karen Hudes, says the global financial system is dominated by a small group of corrupt, power-hungry figures centered around the privately owned U.S. Federal Reserve. The network has seized control of the media to cover up its crimes, too, she explained. In an interview with The New American, Hudes said that when she tried to blow the whistle on multiple problems at the World Bank, she was fired for her efforts. Now, along with a network of fellow whistleblowers, Hudes is determined to expose and end the corruption.

Which is pretty much to be expected. The bankers and financiers have had the upper hand now for more than half a century, as this report on the Bank if International Settlements makes clear.

Before the Nazis took the first step toward conquering Czechoslovakia in the late 1930s, Czech leaders had sent a portion of their gold reserves to their account with the little-known BIS, or Bank for International Settlements, believing it would keep the loot safe.

So when, in 1939, officers of the Czech national bank were ordered under threat of death to transfer 23.1 metric tons of gold from their BIS account to the BIS account of Germany’s Reichsbank, they believed that BIS officials would recognize that the orders had been given under duress and refuse the transfer.

What they didn’t count on was that the BIS didn’t care. Montagu Norman, the governor of the Bank of England and a BIS founder, said that “political considerations must not affect BIS transactions.” And with that, the Nazis looted over 23 tons of Czech gold “without a shot being fired.”

In “Tower of Basel,” veteran journalist Adam LeBor writes that the BIS might be the most important and influential bank in the world, and yet few even know of its existence.

Founded in 1930 by Norman and Reichsbank head Hjalmar Schacht to coordinate German reparations payments from World War I, the BIS quickly came to serve as a central bank for the world’s central banks, setting key policies for global banking and eventually playing a major role in the creation of the European Union.

But this massively influential and powerful bank is also shrouded in secrecy and accountable to no one.

There are, not doubt, legitimate reasons to challenge the desirability of the Keystone pipeline. But when some very rich shit baldly states that he's gonna stop the pipeline whatever the Hell anyone else thinks, you know America ain't no democracy and that all indications to the contrary are part of a charade.

Not that billionaire bastards always get their way. Sheldon Adelson, who made his money with casinos,  spent $150 million to oust Obama from the White House and failed, which is a good joke.

But next time, Adelson threatens he'll spend twice as much, though that ain't much at all to a guy worth $22 bill. And of course, the object of the expenditure is to ensure lower taxes for billionaires, so in fact the expenditure can be considered an investment — and tax deductible.
