Being young and human!

Today’s message is a simple one, it’s a message to Britain’s youth, it’s a message to Europe’s Youth and it’s a message to the entire western world’s youth. It’s a message that is going to tell you once and for all what it means to be young and what it means to be a human being.

As a species we have been given the ability to create and think; we have been given a brain to further ourselves and add to the culture ad society that we have been born into. Whilst it is true that we are pack animals, our very being dictates that we contribute to the packs direction and substance, not follow it aimlessly. Our very being dictates that as we become older, we become more aware of ourselves and in doing so we grow in knowledge and wisdom.

Take music for example, now a song is a piece of art, it should send a message and make people think and question the norm. Instead what we have is an entire generation, a generation of sheep shaking their hips to some commercialised crap that holds no real meaning and serves no real purpose but to make the record companies richer and control the population through ignorance. Ignorance that is the root of all suffering, ignorance that subscribes to the "i don't care" mentality. What we have is an entire generation that’s been brought, and the sad thing is they don't even realise it. They carry on and think they're cool because they're exactly the same as everybody else, they’re exactly the same as their ignorant and culturally irresponsible idols and they are the image of a controlled and worthless generation that does nothing but consume; a generation that does nothing but consume wealth and discard what's truly valuable - culture, truth and genuine meaning.

Even those who think they're different (i.e. Goths) are exactly the same; they run around dressing "different" without realising that they look exactly the same as every other idiot who wants to be different but doesn't know how to be themselves. They run around subscribing to yet another commercialised image, an image that shows just how brain dead and pointless life is becoming.

Quite simply you could almost be forgiven for thinking that somebody needs to beat some sense into these people. Give them a fucking wake up call and open their eyes. Make them understand that it's not about how you dress - it's about who you are and how you act, it's about being yourself and being a real person; not a fucking clone. It’s about learning to question the world around you and opening your eyes to the possibility that life means more than how much your trainers cost and whether you have the latest badly made and over priced crap from China and Taiwan. It’s about being true to yourself and those around you. But most of all, it’s about not giving a fuck!

Barack Obama: voice of change or globalist puppet?

Given recent events in the news I thought it might be a good idea to cover Barack Obama and his nomination for the Democratic Party's Presidential Candidacy. All I can say is if you want answers then look no further than Barack Obama.

The place is Berlin and the year is 2008. The world stands united, intent on hearing a message; a message of hope, a message of change and a message of global renewal. The voice of that very change is none other than Barack Obama – The Democratic Party’s candidate for the presidency of the United States of America. As Barack speaks to the audience, the hands clap and the voices cheer. At last, a person. At last a man with the best intentions of the world to heart. At last a voice, a voice of the people. A voice that promises freedom from tyranny, a voice that promises hope, a voice that promises a world made again. He speaks of Global Warming and our task in protecting our environmental future, he talks of freedom and prosperity for the common man, he talks of change that will improve the lives of the “people of the world”; change that nobody can disagree with, change that gets the pulse racing and the dreams flowing. Change that the people yearn for; myself included. But wait, did I hear right?.....“When you the German people tore down that wall - a wall that divided east and west, freedom and tyranny, fear and hope; walls came tumbling down around the world. From Kiev to Cape Town, prison camps were closed and the doors to democracy were opened. Markets opened too and the spread of information and technology reduced barriers to opportunity and prosperity”

No, surely not…it all sounds so positive. Did he just say “Markets opened too and the spread of information and technology reduced barriers to opportunity and prosperity”? But that sounds Globalist. That sounds like Barack Obama somehow, someway equates a globalised economy to prosperity and opportunity. But that’s false. Yes, there has always been international trade, but praising the advent of global capitalism? Surely not! So I begin to question and the words of the elite come flowing from his very own mouth; the mouth that I saw speak of change. He says “The walls between races and tribes, natives and immigrants, Christians, Muslims and Jews cannot stand. These now are the walls we must tear down”…which again sounds so nice, but hang on…what about culture, history, loyalty to our nations…are these not walls as well? Are these not the walls that support our very existence, our understanding of ourselves and the world around us? Are these not the walls that make us different? Are these not the walls that make the world such a diverse place? Are these not the walls that rise up from the very foundation of our human existence? No…something definitely isn’t right here.

(Above) Barack Obama answers questions on The North American Union and The Council on Foreign Relations

"I know that for more than two centuries, we have strived - at great cost and great sacrifice - to form a more perfect union; to seek, with other nations, a more hopeful world. Our allegiance has never been to any particular tribe or kingdom - indeed, every language is spoken in our country; every culture has left its imprint on ours; every point of view is expressed in our public squares."

-Barack Obama - Berlin 2008 - who is "we"? is he talking about America or the Global elite?-

Now you may think Obama stands for change, but in truth the only change Obama wants is one where the people are aware of less and the world dances to the tune of a One World Government. Make no mistake about it, a man who said to the “people of the world” that “now is the time to join together through…strong institutions” can only have one aim: a One World Government. A man who said to the “people of the world” that “This is the moment to stand as one and this is the moment to give hope to those left behind in a globalised world” can only want a world where the wishes of a national/cultural group count for nothing and the wishes of the globalist elite count for everything. And a man who said to the "people of the world" that “these walls have fallen before, after centuries of strife the people of Europe have formed a union of promise and prosperity” can only have one dream, a dream where the North American Union becomes a reality and another “barrier” towards a One World Government is broken down.

What you have to ask yourself is if you are prepared to allow this to happen. Now personally I have no issues with any other national, racial or religious group; I have no problems with international co-operation, because we do all share the same planet after all; and I have no problems with any man who seeks to take power away from the few and hand it to the many. However, in looking at Barack Obama what I see is a man who uses our dreams for the benefit of the global elite. I see a man who wishes to hand wealth back to the American people in the hope that they forget the crimes of their constitution hating government. I see a man who seeks to do exactly what the government of the 1980’s done to the British people; he seeks to buy them. Because as much as we all want to live a life free from a controlling government; if we have wealth, it is easier to ignore the inadequacies and over controlling nature of big government. It is easier for us to forget that personal freedom means more than economic freedom. And it is easier for us to forget that our lives are worth more than a good speech and two cars in the driveway.

Barack Obama may be different in that he is unlike any other presidential hopeful in history, Barack Obama may be different in that he is a politician who appears to speak the same language as the “people of the world”, and he may be different in that he cares; but Barack Obama is no different in that he is just another politician, in a long line of politicians, who has sold his soul for the promise of political office.

The downfall of a nation!

Is the sun finally setting on the British "empire"?

Today I bring you a story. A story of a nation that has given much to the world. A story of a nation that throughout history has led the way and paved a path that has held firm against all that mother nature can and has thrown at it. A story of a nation that once again, stands alone. It’s people, a great people with a great history, alone in a world threatened by an evil that promises to consume us all and destroy the very fabric of all that our ancestors built. This nation, as old as time and as established as the soil beneath our feet; this nation, built upon the foundations of justice and freedom; this nation, a voice in time that echoes throughout eternity; and this nation, my home, my families home and my peoples home - this nation, Great Britain.

For a nation with one of the finest educational systems in the world, for a nation that has stood firm with the sword of justice raised aloft over the land that it’s people have been willing to defend for millennia, for a nation with such a glorious record to become what we have; some might say that we deserve our fate alongside lesser historical empires. Greece, Rome, Mongol, Byzantine and many more; all have risen and all have felt the pain of defeat and eventual destruction from within. This island nation of ours now stands on the edge of that same fate. Destruction from within.

Whilst out people desert our land to the tune of 406,000 souls a year; whilst a new breed of men come to live on our land to the tune of 605,000 souls a year; whilst our people live a life of excess in all but real knowledge, whilst our people wave their intellectually worthless pieces of paper that says they bear government approved knowledge; whilst our people remain silent and ignore the threat to their nation and their people - the enemies of the state and the enemies of our people that safeguard our interests and our birth right gorge themselves on the excesses of depravity. You say nothing because to do so marks you out as a dissident. You say nothing because whilst you have your colour TV and whilst you fill your face with chemical laden crap you feel safe. You say nothing because you know nothing, you say nothing because you don’t want to know nothing and you say nothing because you don’t want to fear nothing.

But I say to you now, you are a great people with a great past. You are a strong people with a strong mind and you are a bloody minded people with a bloody minded anger that once roused will give all for the good of your own.

Fear not the enemies of the state who supplant our free thinking people with an obedient people that hold no attachment to this land of ours. Fear not the worshippers of Marx who infest our institutions and dictate our access to knowledge, fear not the greedy bastards who sit in Westminster and look down on your people and tell you what you can think, what you can feel and what you can do.

Stand up and be counted, stand up and question everything. See the truth, know the truth, feel the truth and speak the truth. Follow no man whose motives you doubt, follow no man who you do not feel has your best interests to heart, and follow no man who is willing to dine with the profiteers of your downfall.

United in Hate.

The following article was published in The Spectator way back in 2005, and although the writer clearly has his own slant, and although there are some undeniably fair points made by those in the anti war movement. Given the extremely worrying rise in Extremist Islam and the associated risks that come with that; the attention it brings to the liberal-islamist union is admirable.

--------------------------------------------

Douglas Davis shows how secular Marxists and Islamic fundamentalists have buried their differences to wage war on the war against terror.

Politics makes strange bedfellows. Stranger still when the odd couple are fundamentalist Islam and the secular Left. The evolving Black–Red alliance is growing in France, Germany and Belgium. But, based on the successful British model, it is now going global to declare war on the war on terror.

No fewer than three international conferences have been convened in Cairo, presided over by the former president of Algeria, Ahmed Ben Bella, under the auspices of the International Campaign Against US and Zionist Occupations. One outcome is ‘The Cairo Declaration Against US Hegemony, War on Iraq and Solidarity with Palestine.’ British signatories included Tony Benn, Jeremy Corbyn and, of course, the indefatigable George Galloway, whose ‘fiery’ participation won honourable mention in Egypt’s semi-official newspaper, Al-Ahram.

If Iraq was the catalyst for the Black–Red alliance, the Stop the War coalition provided the cauldron in which the union was consummated. The result is a pure gestalt: the coalition allows its constituent parts to pack a far greater collective punch than they could have dreamt of on their own. Putting a million people on to the streets of London is not, after all, small potatoes. The steering committee of the Marxist–Islamist alliance consists of 33 members — 18 from myriad hard-Left groups, three from the radical wing of the Labour party, eight from the ranks of the radical Islamists and four leftist ecologists (also known as ‘Watermelons’ —green outside, red inside). The chairman is Andrew Murray, a leading light in the British Communist party; co-chair is Muhammad Aslam Ijaz, of the London Council of Mosques. Among the major players from the Left are Lindsey German, who resigned as editor of the Socialist Workers’ party newspaper to become convenor of the Stop the War coalition; John Rees, also of the SWP, and, of course, George Galloway. Indeed, the first proud progeny of the alliance is Galloway’s Respect party, which fought and won the London seat of Bethnal Green and Bow, with its substantial Muslim electorate.

Points of potential disagreement between the hard Left and radical Islam — democracy, human rights, xenophobia, free-expression, feminism, homosexuality, abortion, among many others — would seem to pose insuperable barriers to the union. Not so. The hurdles have been neatly vaulted in the interest of mutual hatreds: America, Israel, globalisation, capitalism and imperialism. Anti-Semitism is never far from the surface. True, there is some squeamishness within the ‘house of horrors’. Dissent is evident in the Socialist Workers’ party but not in the Muslim Association of Britain, which was inspired by the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood and now shelters under the umbrella of Sir Iqbal Sacranie’s Muslim Council of Britain (it was, let it not be forgotten, the good Sir Iqbal who, before being scrubbed up and knighted, declared that ‘death is perhaps too easy’ for the allegedly blasphemous Salman Rushdie; it was Sir Iqbal, too, who refused to participate in this year’s Holocaust memorial events because they did not refer to the supposed genocide of the Palestinians).

Those on the Left who support the alliance have found not only a revitalising cause but also an unexpected and deep hinterland from which to draw support. ‘The practical benefits of working together are enough to compensate for the differences,’ I was told. ‘And success tends to win the argument.’ Such opportunism exposes a strain of pernicious racism that allows the Left to indulge outrageous bigotry as long as it is espoused by brown people. ‘The far Left will always support Third World peoples against what they view as an imperialist West,’ notes one analyst who has closely followed the phenomenon. Another says, ‘Islamists in the West have skilfully used the tools of intellectual intimidation to build an inviolate wall around Islam, giving it a sacred status that brooks no criticism.’ The French Leftist leader Olivier Besançonneau added political piquancy when explaining his inclusivist approach to the Islamists: ‘Are these not the new slaves? Is it not natural they should unite with the working class to destroy the capitalist system?’

But there are small voices of doubt. To some within Britain’s Trotskyite Alliance for Workers’ Liberty, the unholy marriage is outright heresy. One Trot describes SWP advocates of the Black–Red alliance as ‘demoralised Guardian readers with headscarves’, a withering allusion to the SWP organiser who ordered secular, socialist women to cover their heads while demonstrating with their Muslim sisters outside the Israeli embassy in London. And he is scathing of SWP monitors who enforced gender segregation to mollify Muslim sensibilities at a demonstration in Trafalgar Square. ‘Marxists are secular or they are not Marxists,’ said the Trot with principled purity.

Dogma runs deep. The Islamists accentuate the positive, noting Galloway’s opposition to abortion and his professed religious faith, which, according to one, ‘will surely be welcomed by British Muslims who see Respect as a real alternative’. And why complain when the Left is so obligingly on message? Take Spark, the organ of Arthur Scargill’s Socialist Labour party, which hailed Asif Mohammed Hanif, the British suicide-bomber who attacked a beachfront bar in Tel Aviv, as a ‘hero of the revolutionary youth’. Hanif, declared the paper, had carried out his mission ‘in the spirit of internationalism’.

The fact is the coalition has been a godsend to both sides. The Left, a once-dwindling band of communists, Trotskyites, Maoists and Castroists, had been clinging to the dregs of a clapped-out cause; the Islamists could deliver numbers and passion, but they needed a vehicle to give them purchase on the political terrain. A tactical alliance became an operational imperative. Indeed, the first to advocate the Black–Red alliance was none other than Ayman al-Zawahiri, deputy to Osama bin Laden and ideologue of al-Qa’eda. In a message delivered in August 2002, he called on sympathisers to seek allies among ‘any movement that opposes America, even atheists’. This sentiment was refined in London by Abu Hamza al-Masri, the hook-handed Islamist from Central Casting who is currently fighting extradition to the United States on terrorism charges. ‘We say to anyone who hates the Americans and wants to throw the Jews out of Palestine — Ahlan wa Sahlan (welcome). The Prophet teaches that we could ally ourselves even with the atheists if it helps us destroy [the] enemy.’

But the Tora Bora Award for Chutzpah goes to George Galloway, veteran champion of Arab and Islamist causes. Appearing on al-Jazeera television last month, he attacked the West while extolling Islamic virtue. ‘It’s not the Muslims who are the terrorists,’ he declared. ‘The biggest terrorists are Bush and Blair, Berlusconi and Aznar.... We believe in the Prophets, peace be upon them. [Bush] believes in the profits, and how to get a piece of them. That’s his god.’ Marx meets Mohammed. High theatre meets low farce. The savvy Galloway, now more godly than gorgeous, has created a conduit through which Islamofascism pumps its poison into Britain’s political bloodstream. It would be quite funny were it not so serious.

Pesky Paruski and the new Cold War

The Four Horsemen: Is this what we have to look forward to?

Over the past week I have been watching events in South Ossetia with some interest. There are several issues at work here, not least of all the argument as to who South Ossetia belongs to. Now I have said time and time again that every national group on this planet has a right to a homeland, as well as the right to political and social self determination. And insofar as this issue goes, I will continue to argue that point. Quite simply, Russia should get out, Georgia should get out and the South Ossetian people should be allowed to carve their own destiny.

The main issue to arise out of this however, the issue that affects us all, is not over who has the right to rule South Ossetia, but the new confrontation that is emerging between Russia and The West. A confrontation that has been labelled by the media as “the new Cold War”, a confrontation that a friend of mine described as “the first stepping stone towards World War III", a confrontation that could quite possibly change the face of the world as we know it.

Now don’t be fooled. This is certainly not a new issue and despite George Bush’s soul gazing when he met Vladimir Putin a few years back, tensions between Russia and The West have existed for a number of years. The truth is that whilst the people screamed “no more” and tore down that bloody wall, whilst the people decided to consign the Cold War to the annals of history; on a governmental level the end of the Cold War was purely cosmetic. In order to understand why you only need to look at events over the past few years and understand the minds of those playing this advanced game of geo-political chess. Russia is a nation that was crippled by Soviet era politics. It’s economy was cut to ribbons, it’s people impoverished and it’s previously powerful standing diminished. The West meanwhile has continued to stretch its will across the globe; whether the argument is that they have done so out of a desire for power or out of the need to maintain access to the worlds vastly diminishing energy supplies.

Russia on the other hand, following the disaster of the Soviet decline has sought to reinforce it’s position on the world stage. Acting in a way that isn‘t exactly what you could describe as friendly; threatening to turn off Gas supplies to the west if it doesn‘t get it‘s own way, sending military aircraft into British airspace, poisoning state enemies on British soil. The scary part in all this is that senior Russian politicians are even willing to accept that World War III could be on it’s way. It was only last night that Alexander Nekrasov, former Kremlin Advisor under the Yeltsin administration, admitted on Newsnight that if NATO continues to push eastward and finds itself anywhere near the Ukraine, then World War III is inevitable due to the fact that there are a lot of pissed off, anti western Russians living in East Ukraine; a statement that I can only assume means that the Russians will feel they need to defend their overly aggressive citizens once again. And this is at a time when The West is massively overstretched in the Middle East.

Whatever view you take, somehow I don’t think any amount of anti war drum banging is going to stop this one. And personally I can only say prepare for the worst. From an energy point of view The West cannot stand down, not with the pipelines bringing gas through Georgia to the west and helping to eliminate our dependence on Russia.

At this moment in time I believe our only option is to stand up to Russia. Russia has been flexing it’s geo-political muscles for the past few years now, and personally I can’t see them carrying on if NATO sits them down and explains the error of their ways. However, it could be said that by arguing with the Russians we risk having them turn their backs on the west, jumping right into bed with the Chinese; a country that they already have a good working relationship with. The problem though is that if we don’t give them the proverbial poke in the eye, then we leave one diplomatic boundary broken with another ready and waiting. Quite simply, how long before they try something worse? The sad fact is, if we don’t do anything, it will reach a point where we have no choice but to do something. Quite simply, we’re better off risking another Cold War than leaving things alone and having to face down the result; World War III.

Oil, Smoke and Mirrors.

"Oil Smoke & Mirrors" offers us a sobering critique of our perceived recent history, of our present global circumstances, and of our shared future in light of imminent, under-reported and mis-represented energy production constraints. Through a series of impressively candid, informed and articulate interviews, this film argues that the bizzare events surrounding the 9/11 attacks, and the equally bizzare prosecution of the so-called "war on terror", can be more credibly understood in the wider context of an imminent and critical divergence between available global oil supply and increasing global oil demand. The picture "Oil, Smoke & Mirrors" paints is one of a tragically hyper-mediated global-political culture, which, for whatever reason, demonstrably disassociates itself from the values it claims to represent. While the ideas presented in this film can at first seem daunting, it's ultimate assertion is that these challenges can indeed be met and perhaps surpassed if, but only if, we can find first the courage to perceive them.
