Foreign Aid being re-routed to UK unions and indoctrination programmes

David Cameron is facing growing criticism of his move to shelter the international aid budget from cuts after it was revealed that it diverts millions of pounds to trade unions and controversial projects in the UK.

International Development is one of just two Whitehall departments – the other is Health – ring-fenced from the swingeing 25  per cent spending cuts announced by Chancellor George Osborne last week.

But critics are increasingly questioning whether its £6 billion-a-year budget should be spared – while Departments such as the Home Office could be forced to sack 35,000 police officers in the £113 billion deficit reduction package.

Research has found that, since 2003, the Department for International Development (DFID) has spent millions on projects including:

  • £3.6  million to the Trades Union Congress.
  • More than £1 million to teach nursery and primary school children in the UK about the ‘dangers of unequal global development’.
  • £600,000 to an ethnic minority think-tank which has not published a report for almost three years.
  • £300,000 to the National Union of Teachers to ‘enable them to become global agents of change’.

Last night, the Conservatives said DFID’s immunity from the cuts would remain – but a ‘full value-for-money review’ of its spending was promised.

The Prime Minister’s Election pledge to protect the health and overseas aid budgets was designed to neutralise Labour claims that the Tories would hit frontline services.

But it means the burden of Mr Osborne’s move to cut Whitehall by a quarter over four years will fall on Transport and the Home Office – which face cuts of up to 33 per cent as a result.

The policy came despite a pre-Election audit of the DFID, which identified £800 million of annual spending with dubious merit – including £35 million in aid to corrupt Uganda and an astonishing £825 million to nuclear-armed India over the three years from 2009.

The EU also receives £1 billion a year from the department to distribute to developing countries.

Now, research by the International Policy Network (IPN) think-tank has identified where much of DFID’s money goes in this country.

Since 2003, £3.6 million has been given to the TUC, including a £2.4 million handout in 2009 for ‘advocacy and lobbying work’ and ‘to build support for development in the United Kingdom’.

Of this, £756,000 went on a ‘Strategic Framework Partnership Agreement’ – to fund training for the TUC to learn how to apply for further DFID grants.

The department also found £600,000 to set up a UK think-tank called Connections For Development, which aims to ‘provide a forum for black and ethnic minority organisations on issues relating to international development’.

And much more. Fucking corrupt shit.

THIS is why the public sector needs a massive cull

Remember as you read this, YOU are paying for it.

The Great Inertia Sector: A whistleblower's account of council work where staff pull six-month sickies

In his emergency Budget this week, Chancellor George Osborne announced he was cutting public sector expenditure by 25 per cent. Unions have declared the cuts irresponsible. But are they? Here, one employee for a large inner London authority lifts the lid on the culture of inertia and incompetence at his workplace. The Mail knows the true identity of the man - a graduate who has been a planning officer for eight years. But to protect his job, he is writing under an assumed name.

Monday morning, it's 10am and I'm late for work - but there's no point hurrying because even though I should have been at my desk 30 minutes ago, I know I'll be the first to arrive at the office.

Sure enough, the planning department is a ghost town.

Our flexi-hours policy means that employees can start any time between 7.30am and 10am, but council workers like to treat that as a rough guideline rather than the contractual obligation that it is.

I'm a senior planning officer: it's my job to inspect buildings, grant planning approval and to guide members of the public looking to alter their homes.

Our department has 60 employees and - until last Tuesday - a budget of £22million.

I've been there for two years and in that period the only time I've ever seen every employee present and correct was at the Christmas party.

At least ten people will be off sick on any one day. The departmental record holder is Doreen - she has worked a grand total of eight days in 14 months.

Doreen must be the unluckiest woman in the country.

In the past year and a half she claims she has: fallen victim to frostbite; been hit by a car; and accidentally set herself on fire.

But she's really pulled out all the stops with her latest excuse: witchcraft. That's right, Doreen believes somebody in Nigeria has cast a spell on her and that it would be unprofessional of her to attempt to do the job she is paid £56k a year for while under the influence of the spell.

She has already been off for four months on full pay. I've no idea how long this spell lasts, but my guessing would be six months to the day - the exact amount of time council employees can take off on full pay before their money is reduced.

But having just eight weeks of full pay left won't be a problem for Doreen and the rest of the council's sickly staff - they'll simply return to work when the six months is up, put in a day or two's work and then go off sick for another six months on full pay again. Easy.

Of course they have to provide sick-notes from a doctor, but as you can buy fake ones online for £10 it's never proved a problem.

There are procedures in place to address attendance, but nobody ever follows them through - chances are the person whose job it is to monitor sickness is probably signed off himself.

Some human resources managers, usually new to the job, do try to take action - but it mostly backfires.

All credit to the bright-eyed young HR manager who, last year, wanted to dismiss a senior employee who had been off sick for three months.

The employee had still been using his company mobile phone, from Marbella.

However, the employee was able (with a little help from the mighty Unison union) to argue that there's no reason why 'sick' people can't rent villas in the Costa Del Sol.

I've been told by colleagues that I don't take enough sick leave - when I protest that it is because I'm in good health they look confused. What's that got to do with anything?

At my borough a worker can take two weeks before having to produce a doctor's note (fake or not).

With the five weeks' annual leave plus bank holidays, even the most conscientious worker in my department is easily taking 12 weeks a year off.

To add insult to injury, some London boroughs recently introduced a new scheme whereby anybody who did an extra 15 minutes' work a day for 20 days could take an extra day's holiday.

But when you can so easily take six months off, who needs official holidays?

Back to the day's business. Jerry is the next to arrive at 10.25am - before he takes his jacket off he performs his morning ritual of taking both his phones off the hook.

God forbid that any resident and council tax payer should be able to speak to him and get some of the advice he's paid £64k a year to dispense.

Jerry is 63 and two years from retirement. He is what is known in the civil service and local government as an 'untouchable' - he's been at the council for more than 40 years, does no work, but would cost an absolute fortune to get rid of.

So he's left alone to play online poker, Skype his daughter in Florida and take his two-hour daily snooze at his desk, no doubt dreaming of the day when his gold-plated public sector pension will kick in.

If you think Jerry's pay is generous, consider this: the head of my department is on an annual salary of £170k plus bonuses, his deputy nets £99k and even the office PAs are on a very respectable £38k - just two thousand less than I get.

I listen to my answerphone and, as usual, there are about 20 messages from people trying to report faulty streetlights or complain that their rubbish hasn't been collected - calls that have been misdirected by our useless call centre.

When I first started here at the council, I tried to pass these messages on to the right department, but eventually gave up - nobody answers phones, nobody listens to voicemails, and emails go unread.

There's no point showing any initiative. I once wandered down to the 'Streetcare' department to ask why the hell nobody was answering the phone.

But only two staff had turned up that day and they were both in the prayer room. Yes, you read that correctly, all large council offices now provide prayer rooms, primarily for their Muslim employees whose faith requires them to perform devotional prayers at midday, in the afternoon and at sunset.

Although it's two years since I started working for this authority I've also worked for two other London boroughs in various capacities over a period of 12 years. In that time I've never known anybody be sacked, no matter how inept and unprofessional they may be.

I'm not sure what it takes to get fired in local government. I'd say 'murdering the CEO' but, even then, you're more likely to be sent on an 'anger in the workplace' course.

Councils love their workshops, training courses and seminars. This week alone I've been invited to attend: A cycle hire and efficiency course; a traffic and pollution briefing; and a training course on offsite health and safety.

Next week there is a two-day course on 'letter writing skills' - I dearly hope that Jackie, our departmental PA, will attend this one. I've given up using her and now type my own correspondence and reports.

The last time she typed a letter for me (to an architect) she misspelt 'accommodation' and 'environment' throughout.

I gently pointed this out to her and asked her to redo the document. But she went sick for two weeks with stress, complaining that she was being bullied.

When my boss called me in to discuss this I, jokingly, said: 'Well I'll just let her misspell everything in future, shall I?' To which he replied: 'Yes, I think that's best for now.'

I'm not sure what workshop I was asked to attend for that particular misdemeanour, but I do recall the 'cultural awareness and sensitivity' one following an incident where I outrageously asked a black colleague if I could open a window behind her desk.

It was 88 degrees outside and our offices have no air conditioning. This lady was born and bred in North London but claimed her Caribbean heritage meant she felt the cold and opening a window by six inches would cause her to suffer.

I did the workshop and wrote her a letter of apology as recommended. I actually began to question whether I was racist or insensitive.

That evening I saw Sean, my oldest friend who is black. I ran the window story by him - he eventually stopped laughing after about 20 minutes.

You can't be made to attend these workshops but, surprisingly, the take-up is remarkably high.

Not because those going want to improve their skills, but because a full day's training comes with a full day's free catering.

' Fact Finding Missions' are another great favourite within the public sector. The last one I attended was a two-day trip ( transport and four-star accommodation included) to a football club in the Midlands.

Supposedly it was to understand how other inner cities tackle sporting events in areas of high population.

However, the only 'fact' I discovered was that it takes about 11 pints and two whisky chasers before my boss keels over.

In fairness, there are some very hard workers at the council, but they are so massively outweighed by the workshy that they're fighting a losing battle. The culture is very much one of getting minimum done for maximum pay.

Even when a reasonable proportion of the staff turns up for work (for our office that would be about 60 per cent) very little gets done because the officers cannot be bothered with the fiddly paperwork that goes with the job.

When residents contact the office because they want, for example, a loft extension or to replace windows in a conservation area, they hit such a wall of inefficiency and apathy that many simply give up or go ahead without permission.

I recently received a letter from somebody looking for the plans to a building that was erected ten years ago.

I passed it on to Jackie the ever-efficient PA, who claimed she couldn't find them. I went to look and located them in 30 seconds.

The only time the department ever really jumps into action is when architects complain.

They know planning inside out and won't be fobbed off with delaying tactics that ordinary citizens have to contend with.

You can't even give them the old council favourite of claiming that you can't answer any of their questions because of 'data protection'. We love that excuse - nobody really knows what it means, but we use it all the time.

Bosses of local authorities have bonuses dependent on not getting high numbers of complaints.

But the only way complaints can be recorded is if they are dealt with - if they're ignored or mysteriously lost then they never existed and won't be counted.

Despite all this, my department makes a huge amount of money - mostly from private developers.

If they want to build something it costs them £2,300 just to have an initial planning meeting with us.

What they don't know is that we've already had a meeting and decided they probably won't get permission - unless they agree to a 'planning gain' - a dodgy but perfectly legal practice whereby a developer who wants to build, say, a hotel, will be told that he can have his planning permission, but only if he also agrees to build a community centre too.

It's a way for councils to improve local amenities, without having to pay for them from public funds.

Some might call it bribery. For us, it's everyday business that ensures our budgets are protected for our vital work - like protecting our pay rises and perks.

So can anything be done to curtail this greed, waste and chronic incompetence?

George Osborne clearly thinks so, with his bold promises to tackle the bloated public sector head-on.

We had a meeting on Thursday to discuss the Chancellor's proposed cuts - there was talk of strike action among the younger workers, but much rubbing of hands among the 'untouchables', many of whom could walk away with six-figure golden goodbyes.

The cuts and pay freezes are desperately needed, but the one thing Mr Osborne will never be able to control is the culture of inertia and inefficiency that is rife throughout the public sector.

Of course, when I tell my friends in the private sector about my working conditions, they can scarcely believe it. As the recession bites, they consider themselves lucky to be holding on to their jobs, and are willing to work extra hours or take a pay freeze to ensure their firm's survival.

In the public sector, though, there is no competitive edge; no incentive to cuts costs or improve efficiency. Few genuinely fear for their job security, protected as they are by threats of union action every time the axe looks likely to fall.

It's the same story across the world: when a nation's public sector is allowed to expand into a bloated behemoth, it is almost impossible to cut it down to size, still less to change the culture of waste and laziness that sets in.

I don't know what the solution is. Even those, like myself, who join with the best of intentions are soon worn down and end up subscribing to the 'if you can't beat them, join them' school of thought.

Of course the real scandal is it's your money that's paying for the jollies, the prayer rooms and the never- ending workshops.

In my authority's borough, the average householder pays £1,330 a year in council tax. I'm sure they'd be thrilled to know that they're funding Jerry's internet gambling and Doreen's never-ending sick pay.

Good luck Mr Osborne - you're going to need it.

White people banned from applying for council position

A council has been accused of discrimination after white people were barred from applying for two £18,000-a-year jobs.

Bristol City has created the management training posts for graduates in an effort to recruit more minority employees.

As a result the council will only accept applications from ethnic minorities for the two-year placements.

But this has prompted criticism from white graduates struggling to find work.

One jobseeker, who did not wish to be named, described the posts as 'totally racist'.

Of course it is racist. It is also offensive to 'ethnics' because it assumes they cannot compete with white candidates on a level playing field. It can also be intepreted that the Race Relations Act presumes non-white people are inferior to white people, thus making them deserving of discriminatory regulations. The other way of looking at it is the state sees white people as all being inherently racist, hence justifying the passing of laws that affect everyone in the country.

James Easey, a spokesman for the council said advertising ethnic minority-only posts was allowed under race relations legislation.

He said: 'This traineeship was started because of the marked under-representation of ethnic minorities in our workforce.

'The normal recruitment process was not rectifying this unacceptably low trend so there was a strong case for this small positive recruitment traineeship for two ethnic minority graduates a year.

'We have a workforce of more than 9,000 employees, excluding school staff, so this is a small training programme.

'Graduates from any ethnic background are open to apply for the national graduate local government programme which we recruit from every year - we have just recruited two graduates in this way.'

The Race Relations Act 1976 states that if a racial group is under-represented councils can offer training to individuals from that group.
Another one for the Great Repeal Bill then (no, not the government one, the Real One). By the way, when the state is trying to engineer 'equality of OUTCOME' it is behaving in a communist (collectivist) manner.

Secret society investigation revealed to European parliament

H/T IanPJ
The results of longstanding research on a secret society were presented at the European Parliament on Tuesday by Daniel Estulin, author of the bestseller "The True Story of the Bilderberg Group."

Secretive and elite – the Bilderberg group, which unites some of the world's most powerful people, has been meeting behind closed doors for decades.

Its activities have become shrouded in a mist of conspiracy theories, with some claiming its members are trying to create a new world order.

Investigative journalist Daniel Estulin has just revealed to the European Parliament all he claims to have discovered about the 'Bilderbergers'.

“Over almost 20 years of research I’ve found out that what today is called the Bilderberg group already existed over eight hundred years ago,” Estulin told RT. “Back then they were called the Venetian black nobility. Bilderberg is the creation of the Sinarchy movement who are very potentially founders and financiers of Hitler. As Sinarchy international they, in turn, were founded by the Free Mason esoteric secret society back in the 1770s, as a kind of a counter attack on the principals upon which the United States of America was built.”

“A lot of people speak of Bilderberg as a domain of conspiracy theories, and of course it’s not, it’s a historical fact,” Estulin stated. “A lot of people believe that Bilderberg is a one-world government or creating the new world order, especially people point out a speech made by George W. Bush made back in the 1990s about the creation of one world government. It’s actually not about that at all. It’s a meeting of people who represent a particular ideology. That ideology is of money.”

“So the idea is not to create one world government rather the creation of one world company limited to where financial concerns are far more powerful than any government on Earth,” the journalist added.

When you consider the fact these 'elites' have been born and raised on corporate thinking, corporate law, multi-nationals and central banks, it makes perfect sense. What we are seeing in the world is simply a consolidation and streamlining of their 'human corp'. A global government is merely a reduction in the size and power of their 'subdiaries' (nation states, central banks local corporations) into the main global system.

One of the main vehicles for this are the supranational unions, such as the EU and NAU. These enable the global directorship to impose rules and diktats with greater ease. No need to go forth and convince the numerous national governments to implement xyz. Simply pass it as the supranational level, local governments then impose them using their own legislation, doing their best to cover up the fact it came from beyond their borders.

The depopulation plan (Agenda 21 et al) is simply their desire to cut 'waste' from their farms. It also, by reducing numbers and exterting ever more control over individuals, serves to reduce the probability of rebellion. Another way of putting this is reducing the number of variables in the system to control the propensity for chaotic, unpredictable behaviour in the population.

They co-opt movements that a borne from such chaos and gently guide them out of harms way. Like seeding storms to break up potential tornadoes.

The cattle blink and then go back to being collateral for loans for private banks, reduce the cost of credit and encourage people to get into debt. Debt that cost nothing to produce but years of your labour (time and energy) to repay. Meanwhile governments, instead of printing money at 0% interest decide to borrow it from the private banks, and charge the cattle the difference and then some.

They moan about it a bit, but wait, X Factors on. Mooooo.

Luckily more and more cattle aren't being so easily distracted anymore. The chaos may have reached a critical point.

EU directive behind England flag ban?

After those ‘silly rumours’ of state agencies banning the flag during the coming World Cup, stories are emerging of state agencies banning the flag during the coming World Cup. Granted, the difference is private and public enterprises, but still.

My Spidey senses tell me there is more to this than meets the eye, we (hopefully) all know of the EU’s hatred for anything that reinforces/ celebrates national sovereignty/ private property. In case you didn’t know, here is an article from 2008 by the Telegraph.

On St George's Day, EU wipes England off map.

The new European plan splits England into three zones that are joined with areas in other countries.

The "Manche" region covers part of southern England and northern France while the Atlantic region includes western parts of England, Portugal, Spain and Wales.

The North Sea region includes eastern England, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and parts of Germany.

A copy of the map, which makes no reference to England or Britain, has even renamed the English Channel the "Channel Sea".

Each zone will have a "transnational regional assembly", although they will not have extensive powers. However, the zones are regarded as symbolically important by other countries.

German ministers claimed that the plan was about "underlying the goal of a united Europe" to "permanently overcome old borders" at a time when the "Constitution for Europe needs to regain momentum".

No Fourth Reich there then?

A bit of digging finds a previous enforced ban on national flags on car number plates.

MOTORISTS who display the Union Flag on their vehicle number plates from this autumn can be stopped by the police and prosecuted under regulations approved yesterday by MPs.

However, it will be legal to carry the European Union symbol of 12 yellow stars on a blue background. A coalition of Tory, Liberal Democrat and nationalist MPs failed to block the proposed law, which is intended to implement an EU directive to harmonise number plate design in the interests of "clarity and safety".

The Road Vehicle 'Display of Registration Marks' Regulations 2001 mean that it will only be legal to carry on the registration plate the letters GB alongside the Euro symbol. It will not be lawful to have a depiction of the Union Flag, the Scottish saltire, the cross of St George or the Welsh dragon.

That particular regulation (Statutory Instrument) can be found here. After a glance, it looks like the rule for this can be found in Part 4 Misc., (2) (a).

International distinguishing signs and other material
16. 

    (1) No material other than a registration mark may be displayed on a registration plate except material complying with the requirements of any of the relevant standards mentioned in Schedule 2.
    (2) Where a mark is displayed on a dual purpose plate - 

Under the Explanatory Note (why am I reading this, it’s a nice day) it alludes to the EU Directive.

(g) The making of provision for the display of the international distinguishing sign of the United Kingdom adjacent to the registration mark in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No. 2411/98 (a copy of which can be obtained from the Stationery Office). (See regulation 16.)

So here it is.

Council Regulation (EC) No 2411/98 of 3 November 1998 on the recognition in intra-Community traffic of the distinguishing sign of the Member State in which motor vehicles and their trailers are registered

This does two things.

First, it commands member states to refuse to recognise national flags;

(3) Whereas the Community is not a contracting party to the convention and whereas some of its Member States which are parties to it have recourse to the provisions of Article 37 of the Convention; whereas those Member States thus require vehicles from other Member States to display the distinguishing sign provided for by Annex 3 to the Convention; whereas some of those Member States do not recognise other distinguishing signs such as those displayed on registration plates which, while indicating the Member State in which the vehicle is registered, do not conform to Annex 3 to the Convention;

Annex 3 describes the EU flag by the way.

Second thing it does, is command member states to use the Annex 3 specs for registration.

(4) Whereas several Member States have introduced a model registration plate which, on the extreme left, displays a blue zone containing the 12 yellow stars representing the European flag plus the distinguishing sign of the Member State of registration; whereas for the purpose of intra-Community transport this distinguishing sign meets the objective of identifying the State of registration as provided for in Article 37 of the Convention;

What does this have to do with the current bans on the England flag? I don’t know yet, I’m still researching. In Canterbury, the cabbies believe the ban is to protect the ‘feelings of minorities’. This wouldn’t surprise me either to be honest, either way, I think it’s pathetic. If I find more info on this I’ll update this post (I still have a few avenues to research) but until then, I’m going to blow my brains out after boring myself to death.

Have a nice weekend.

Walnuts are unapproved drugs - FDA

This is from my Natural News email sub I have. I wouldn’t normally post these, but this is insane.

Dear NaturalNews readers,

According to the FDA, walnuts are unapproved drugs because they have been scientifically proven to lower high cholesterol. So the FDA has unleashed a threatening attack against a large walnut company to scare them into removing all scientific research about walnuts from their website and marketing materials.

The FDA, you may already realize, is waging a campaign of censorship, disinformation and consumer ignorance to try to destroy all knowledge of the scientifically-proven health benefits of healing foods and nutritional supplements.

Today we bring you a must-read story about how the FDA is trying to destroy knowledge much like the burning of the Library of Alexandria in the year 48 B.C.

But this is happening right now, today in America. Read more in my feature story that exposes the FDA's agenda of ignorance:
http://www.naturalnews.com/028879_censorship_healing_foods.html

Probably won’t surprise you but the FDA and such are nothing more than agents for globalist corporations. We already know from the Codex Alimentarius that they wish to regulate almost all foodstuffs on earth. Growth hormones for cattle, stripping vitamins and minerals from natural foods, mandating the use of big pharma to make up the difference (with their inferior counterparts). Food, water and energy, the three industries the elites must maintain control over to be able to attack the human race from below.

An Act to Correct the Money Supply

Give this a read

The Proposed Bank of England Act
This is a reform that could prevent a future financial crisis, clear the national debt, and restart the economy.

It cures the sickness in our economy and financial system by tackling the root cause of the problem, rather than just the symptoms.

It would make the 'inevitable' cuts in public services completely unnecessary, reduce the tax burden by up to 30% and allow us to clear the national debt. It takes control over the UK's money supply out of the hands of the commercial banking sector and restores it to the state, where it can be used to benefit the economy, rather than providing a £200 billion annual subsidy to the banking sector.
And share it. Thanks.

US govt silencing dissenting scientists on oil spill issue

A prominent oceanographer, who was among the first to say official estimates understated the volume of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, charged Tuesday that a federal agency is punishing scientists whose findings disagree with government figures.

Ian MacDonald, an oceanographer with Florida State University, who more than two weeks ago said the oil spill was likely five times as large as the 5,000 barrel-a-day estimate from the National Oceanic Atmospheric and Administration, said the agency is attacking scientists who challenged government estimates, while itself doing little to glean new information about the spill size.

“The scientific community in the Gulf of Mexico is fairly small ... and we've been very dedicated for a long time and not only is nobody listening to us in this, but it seems like they really want us to shut up,” MacDonald said. “It's very, very punitive and anybody who is doing this is getting attacked by NOAA.”

A NOAA spokesman did not address MacDonald's claims directly, but said that the agency's spill response includes scientists with key federal agencies as well as partners in the scientific community and the private sector.

80,000 barrels a day?

The stinging criticism comes amid debate about the size of the oil spill emanating from BP's Macondo well about 40 miles off the coast of Louisiana. An April 20 blowout in a well under 5,000 feet of water triggered the oil spill, destroyed the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, and killed 11 workers.

Some independent scientists have made estimates that sharply depart from NOAA's estimate, which equates to 210,000 gallons a day.

Based on various models, including measurements of satellite imagery of the surface slick and an analysis of wellhead video released by BP, some scientists estimate the volume of oil spilling from the well as 25,000 to 80,000 barrels a day.

Chief Climate-Scam Salesman 'we're talking shit, and WHAT bitches!'

Dr Rajendra Pachauri, the chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has been under fire since a report from the charity the WWF was used to make claims about reductions in ice on mountains.

In particular it included the erroneous claim that the Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035. It was said to be 300 years out and led to accusations that the organisation was cherry-picking evidence to justify its claims.

Comes as no surprise to those who haven't forgotten the 'we need to do whatever it takes to scare people into believing us' quotes from the IPCC.

In a hearing at the InterAcademy Council, an organisation of the world's science academies which is conducting an independent review of the processes and procedures of the IPCC, Dr Pachauri described the inclusion of the glacier claim as "human failure" which should not have happened.

What is he saying, that humans can fuck things up! Like build dodgy computer models and cook books! Amazing, never knew that.

But the IPCC's chairman said there was a need to use information which was not from peer-reviewed scientific journals, because in some places that was the only research that had been done.

He said the media and other sections of society had misunderstood the role of such information, labelling it grey literature, "as if it was some form of grey muddied water flowing down the drains".

Well, I'm no scientist, but if data cannot be checked for objectivity, integrity, transparency etc, then it hardly qualifies as conclusive does it? I thought that was the whole point of the Scientific Method.

This 'man-evil-killing-gaia' scam has trillions of potential dollars (and the world's private property) attached to it. How's that for motive for talking shit.

European Commission wants powers to vet budgets of the 27 member states

This is rich.

The unelected suits of the ‘United Federal Europe’ project want the powers to check the budgets of member states to make sure they don’t cook the books for their own benefit (ahem Greece ahem).

This, coming from the organisation so rank with corruption that it’s own accounts haven’t been signed off for the past 15 years in a row.

Now there are rumours that Germany wants to move back to the Mark, and dump that shitty Euro monopoly money, their fury at having their wealth stolen from them to fund the lifestyles of others is continuing to grow. Good for them I say.

Ahh I love the smell of chaos in the morning.

Overpopulation Is A Myth - Note To The 'Elitists'

For all you evil, self-hating, elistist, limp-wristed lets-slowly-kill-billions arsewipes who think there are too many human beings on Earth.

Go Fuck Yourself.

Fucking eugenicists. You really think you have a 'right' to demand others starve to death because you're too fucking ignorant to understand the big picture of the human race? You sit in your apartments in built up areas and assume the whole world is covered in skyscrapers and 4x4's, when the vast majority of the Earth's surface is untouched.

The real reason these sick fucks (and you useful idiots) want the population culled (not your family naturally) is so they would be easier to control in their global totalitarian utopia they are currently trying to engineer.

You make me sick.

The millions of babies dying each year, and you really want to sit there and huff 'it's good for the human race?'

You evil fucking bastards. I guess it's easier to advocate the deaths of millions of innocent, helpless people than it is to turn to the bastards pushing all this. The same bastards that fund the universities in the States, set up the Federal Reserve, bought out the Bank of England, set up the European Union and who would funded and promoted Socialism, Communism, Feminism and Environmentalism.

All of which, conveniently call for the abolition of private property and total control by a unaccountable, political class. Transferring ownership of the entire fucking world to the organisations these scumbags invented out of thin air. Like the United Nations, as they recently tried to sell the 'man made global warming scam' as a need to have a world government.

Yeah pull the other one. If you tyrants weren't such fucking unoriginal wankers you may have gotten further. We know you want a third world war and there will be one, but not the way you're expecting it. Not us 'little people' against each other, but us against you.

People destroying their corrupt political systems, unravelling the fraud that is the money supply, taking apart the global corporations, syndicates and supra-national governments and realising it's just a prison in our minds. All we need to do is be the change we want to see.

So get it through your thick skulls, the human race is infinitely resourceful, the problem is not 'the little people' the problem is the global banking cartels, the legal systems and fiat currency systems they invented purely to strip people from their rightly earned wealth and keep the human race running on the hamster wheel.

You see, these bastards don't need money. They don't orchestrate boom and bust because they need more mansions. They PRINT THE FUCKING STUFF. They just need to take it away from you, so you stay dependent on their debt and their 'charity'. Aren't they nice, they pay for your colleges and set your curriculums. They tell you want to think and how to act.

No wonder you fucking fake-liberals don't have a clue what is going on. Those million babies dying in filth aren't the enemy or a threat to the beauty and potential of the human race.

YOU ARE. You evil selfish egotistical cunts.

A billion abortions since 1920.

When you're laying in your bed, probably nice and fluffly with state-funded quango credits, think about thousands dying each day because of the policy papers, political manipulation and corporate fascism of your idols.

I hope you don't wake up.

Now THAT would really help the human race.





The elections barely mean anything. The pressure against the growing totalitarianism, the lies and the corruption won't stop because serfs tick boxes. It will only stop when the state is dragged down to size and does what the People want.

So don't feel down. Times are a' changin'.

Blair In Blue

Good article from Hitchens in the Mail today, I suggest giving it a read.

He is truly what he once said he was – the Heir to Blair.

If he wins, he will – as the first Tory leader to win an Election in 18 years – have the power to crush all his critics in the Tory Party.

He will be able to say that political correctness, green zealotry, a pro-EU position and a willingness to spend as much as Labour on the NHS have won the day.

He will claim (falsely) that ‘Right-wing’ policies lost the last three Elections.

Those Tory MPs who agree with you and me will be cowed and silenced for good. The power will lie with the A-list smart set, modish, rich metropolitan liberals hungry for office at all costs who would have been (and who in the case of one of the older ones actually was) in New Labour 13 years ago.

And then where will you have to turn for help as the PC, pro-EU bulldozer trundles across our landscape destroying what is good and familiar and replacing it with a country whose inhabi­tants increasingly cannot recognise it as their own?

The Liberal Democrats? They agree with David. The Labour Party under exciting, new, Blairite Mr Miliband, heir to a Marxist dynasty?

He agrees with David, too. You will look from bench to bench in the House of Commons and see nothing but the people whose ideas have wrecked a great country in half a century, and who still won’t admit they’re wrong.

This system is only propped up by state funding and dodgy millionaires. The surge to the Liberal Democrats – because of who they are not rather than because of what they are – shows a great hunger for something genuinely different.

Yes indeed. I will not vote for any of the corporate three. It would be akin to choosing one of three doors that all lead to the same prison cell.

MPs and Peers run private company selling 'influence over Government policy' as multinationals pay to join parliamentary IT lobby group

A disgraced Labour MP has boasted she used a private company based at the Commons to change immigration policy to allow cheap workers to be brought in from India.

Luton MP Margaret Moran said her chairmanship of the company helped her to ‘influence’ Cabinet Minister Liam Byrne – whom she described as ‘one of those people that makes things happen’ – and Select Committee chairman Keith Vaz, who she said ‘owes me one’.

And she admitted she felt under pressure to deliver ‘results’ to please the multinational firms behind the company.

She even said she helped delay the introduction of a ‘terrorist-detector’ passport system to help a holiday firm which paid for her to fly to Spain – where she has a home.

EUISS and World Governance: We Need Immigration and Climate Change As Arguments for Military World State Control

Summary: The EU Institute for Security Studies (EUISS) is the brain behind the EU's military. It is centered around Bilderberger and Club of Rome member, Javier Solana, former NATO Secretary General and EU foreign minister (High Representative). EUISS' annual publication 2009: "What ambitions for European defence in 2020", contains interesting information: Swedish Tomas Ries writes that the ISS needs a European army to defend EU borders against massive poverty immigration. He calls it distasteful and immoral - but necessary!

Furthermore, Ries writes that Europe needs to be able to wage war against countries (including Russia) with other views on the world than the EU's New World Order views. Furthermore, this New World Order will usurp the right of deciding to occupy an area of a former sovereign state in the name of, e.g. climate or biodiversity! Nevertheless, the EU has started to fulfill its promise of free movement within the EU for Muslim Euro-Mediterranean partners, as promised in 2003.

Furthermore, the EU has set up recruiting offices in Africa to recruit 56 million. Muslims + their families into the EU by 2050! At the same time, the EUISS writes in the report from its annual congress 2009, "Soft power". Managing a Post-crisis World", that it would be wrong to bar the Union from the outside world, because it is contrary to the sacred dogma of "unity in diversity." But then comes the strange thing: It is stated, that there is no risk of confrontation between the great powers - for they are partners. Why else does the European Union want an army, then?

Regionalization, it is said, is part of global governance. The Global Agenda (21) is generated by the linkage of the fight against the crises (climate, financial, immigration, development) - that the elite behind the New World Order has created itself for this very purpose. The G20 must be strengthened - and bought NGOs must have much more to say in support of the New World Order program - because this is New World Order "legitimacy". Better is soft power - but make no mistake. The EU will put hard power behind if it does not succeed by soft means. The British Defence Ministry wrote that everybody must be linked to a verifiable network (chips, among others) - and it will be deemed suspicious to stay outside. It stipulated that it will be difficult for those who want to preserve their indigenous culture and beliefs. They will be considered radicalised - while this is obviously not true, for example of Muslim "neo-Europeans". The UN has started to realize John F. Kennedy 's proposal from 1961 to abolish all armies and only maintain a UN world army of 50,000 men to oppress troublemakers against the New World Order. The NATO has usurped this role in 2008.

Call for Civil Disobedience - a worldwide strike by the oppressed

The blogosphere and meeting places have been alight with anger, outrage, frustration. And questions about how to defeat our tyrannical 'masters' that make our lives a living hell.
Gandhi found non-compliance to be an effective tool to defeat his masters. And he was just one man.

Imagine what we could achieve, if we made a concerted effort, for a given number of days.

The fact is, the corporations want our money. The government needs our money. The 'mainstream' media are the mouthpieces of these monsters. And all of them are the cause of our misery.
If we starve them of it for a spell, how would that affect them?

We've lost the ability to think for ourselves because we've been programmed not to. If we cease to tune into their propaganda and instead, explore the alternative media, we see a different picture from the one they want us to see. We think for ourselves and join up the dots.

We have been little short of terrorised by their scare stories, their unwarranted use of and threat of force, their fines, their toxic products, their lies - to do their dirty bidding. They enrich themselves at our expense. Every time.

The Greeks and the Icelanders have woken up and taken action. The tyranny we face is on a par with theirs, if not greater, and yet we do bugger all about it. Our MPs don't give a jot - they're not listening to us. They're listening to their party whips, as they eye that juicy job within their grasp if they ignore us. So they do.

So let's learn from the Greeks, the Icelanders, Gandhi - and make our 'strike' international. After all, the entire civilised world is facing tyranny simultaneously.

And as Old Holborn says, we outnumber them. They cannot afford non-compliance on such a massive scale. Success frequently starts from small beginnings, as American patriots will tell you. As Gandhi demonstrated.

Visit the original post on Fausty Writes for full info and updates. I’m going to do this. It is time WE actually started doing things as opposed to just writing about these globalist bastards.

It is to occur April 15-18.

Govt to reduce drink drive limit again

You see how this works now? The state imposes some arbitrary rule and once people are conditioned into accepting, they tighten the screws, slowing boiling the frog.

Drivers could be prosecuted after drinking less than a pint of beer or a glass of wine under a shake-up of drink-drive laws.

Transport Secretary Lord Adonis expects an official review of the law to recommend cutting the legal limit from 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood to 50mg, as on much of the Continent.

The Government believes this would prevent up to 65 deaths and 230 serious injuries a year. Lord Adonis said there was 'a strong case' for a lower limit.

Firstly, fuck the ‘Continent’, who cares what they do. Secondly, let’s look at some numbers.

430 people died from drink-driving in 2009 - (this should be irresponsible driving, alcohol is not responsible as inanimate objects have no responsibility).

There are approximately 32 million cars in Britain. – Let’s see, supposing that people use their cars on average, three times a week. We have (32,000,000 * 3) * 52 weeks = journeys in Britain per year.

That equals 4,992,000,000 journeys a year. We can say between 4 and 5 billion trips then.

Total casualties - deaths, serious injuries and slight injuries - from drink-drive accidents fell seven per cent to 13,020 which is the lowest figure ever.

Total casualties make up 0.0002% of all road journeys. Why on earth would the bastard state be so enthusiastic about this…

At present, anyone caught drink-driving faces a minimum ban of 12 months and a £5,000 fine.

I think this is just another example of another quango trying to make itself useful. There are still odd things about this article however.

The Government believes this would prevent up to 65 deaths and 230 serious injuries a year. Lord Adonis said there was 'a strong case' for a lower limit….

…Experts say a lower limit would save the economy £120million a year by reducing medical costs and lost working time.

How does that work? The NHS kills more people a year than that.

LSD as U.S. Military weapon

TELEGRAPH

In 1951, a quiet, picturesque village in southern France was suddenly and mysteriously struck down with mass insanity and hallucinations. At least five people died, dozens were interned in asylums and hundreds afflicted.

For decades it was assumed that the local bread had been unwittingly poisoned with a psychedelic mould. Now, however, an American investigative journalist has uncovered evidence suggesting the CIA peppered local food with the hallucinogenic drug LSD as part of a mind control experiment at the height of the Cold War.

The mystery of Le Pain Maudit (Cursed Bread) still haunts the inhabitants of Pont-Saint-Esprit, in the Gard, southeast France.

On August 16, 1951, the inhabitants were suddenly racked with frightful hallucinations of terrifying beasts and fire.

One man tried to drown himself, screaming that his belly was being eaten by snakes. An 11-year-old tried to strangle his grandmother. Another man shouted: "I am a plane", before jumping out of a second-floor window, breaking his legs. He then got up and carried on for 50 yards. Another saw his heart escaping through his feet and begged a doctor to put it back. Many were taken to the local asylum in strait jackets.

Time magazine wrote at the time: "Among the stricken, delirium rose: patients thrashed wildly on their beds, screaming that red flowers were blossoming from their bodies, that their heads had turned to molten lead."

Eventually, it was determined that the best-known local baker had unwittingly contaminated his flour with ergot, a hallucinogenic mould that infects rye grain. Another theory was the bread had been poisoned with organic mercury.

However, H P Albarelli Jr., an investigative journalist, claims the outbreak resulted from a covert experiment directed by the CIA and the US Army's top-secret Special Operations Division (SOD) at Fort Detrick, Maryland.

The scientists who produced both alternative explanations, he writes, worked for the Swiss-based Sandoz Pharmaceutical Company, which was then secretly supplying both the Army and CIA with LSD.

Mr Albarelli came across CIA documents while investigating the suspicious suicide of Frank Olson, a biochemist working for the SOD who fell from a 13th floor window two years after the Cursed Bread incident. One note transcribes a conversation between a CIA agent and a Sandoz official who mentions the "secret of Pont-Saint-Esprit" and explains that it was not "at all" caused by mould but by diethylamide, the D in LSD.

While compiling his book, A Terrible Mistake: The Murder of Frank Olson and the CIA's Secret Cold War Experiments, Mr Albarelli spoke to former colleagues of Mr Olson, two of whom told him that the Pont-Saint-Esprit incident was part of a mind control experiment run by the CIA and US army.

After the Korean War the Americans launched a vast research programme into the mental manipulation of prisoners and enemy troops.

Scientists at Fort Detrick told him that agents had sprayed LSD into the air and also contaminated "local foot products".

Mr Albarelli said the real "smoking gun" was a White House document sent to members of the Rockefeller Commission formed in 1975 to investigate CIA abuses. It contained the names of a number of French nationals who had been secretly employed by the CIA and made direct reference to the "Pont St. Esprit incident." In its quest to research LSD as an offensive weapon, Mr Albarelli claims, the US army also drugged over 5,700 unwitting American servicemen between 1953 and 1965.

None of his sources would indicate whether the French secret services were aware of the alleged operation. According to US news reports, French intelligence chiefs have demanded the CIA explain itself following the book's revelations. French intelligence officially denies this.

Locals in Pont-Saint-Esprit still want to know why they were hit by such apocalyptic scenes. "At the time people brought up the theory of an experiment aimed at controlling a popular revolt," said Charles Granjoh, 71.

"I almost kicked the bucket," he told the weekly French magazine Les Inrockuptibles. "I'd like to know why."

Vietnam springs to mind. There is no end to accounts of government sponsored experimentation on civilians without their consent. A larger list is here, and here is an experiment done in Britain.

GUARDIAN

The names of a string of towns and villages from Yeovil to Guildford which were secretly sprayed in large-scale germ warfare experiments in the 1950s can today be revealed in newly released documents.

Wiltshire, Hampshire, Berkshire, Dorset, Somerset and Surrey were the main areas for the trials conducted from the chemical and biological warfare establishment at Porton Down, Wiltshire. The trials are now the subject of an official inquiry by an independent scientist.
