La France Insoumise!!! 

By the time you read this, the Great Revolution of France should have taken place! And it was all hatched last night between Toby, my son,  and the small, wrinkly woman with a shrill voice, called 'Katrine'... in my Conservatory!!!  Katrine owns the little cafe up the road that sells Crêpes-Nutella... pancakes with chocolate-spread ....a very likely instigator of revolution... In my Conservatory... over wine and crisps... What a great honour!! They talked of restoring the rights of the Workers, and they sang along to revolutionary songs  on the internet, from Cuba and Argentina... with such passion. They sneered at Capitalism, and talked of Equality among all people; houses for all, and equal shares of all wealth (Although Katrine let slip that she owns a Second Home in Dijon)

Old guillotines would have been wheeled-out in towns and villages across France; the Chief of Police, all the mayors, Civil Servants, politicians and company bosses will have been separated from their heads! 

All the old factories will be opened-up again..; The great Candle factories so that The French can read at night; the factories stuffing horse-hair into mattresses; the factories making whale-bone corsets, and bows and arrows for the army, and the factories making lace-up boots for women and clogs for men... and the factories making pig's-bladder condoms, and factories making horse-drawn buses for the cities of France! What a glorious enterprise. The return of Leech-gatherers for the doctor, of blacksmiths and wheelwrights, and ladies at home spinning wool for 15 hours a day; the cobblers and clock-makers. They have already made a start in Moulins-Engilbert, where there is a prominent 'Horlogist' (clock-repairer) on the corner. 

Then, we shall fortify the Trenches against the German hordes, rebuild the Maginot Line, and execute prostitute-spies! We shall be able to eat the animals of the Zoo... elephant-trunk steaks and giraffe thighs.  We shall all go back to drinking wormwood absinthe (that kills in five years) and eating whales caught in the Seine. It will be a paradise. The brothels of Moulins will be reopened to give work to girls (actually, they never closed!) 

I'm surprised that you are not hurrying down to join the Party... run by jean-Luc Melanchon  (France Unbowed!)   that promises this Worker paradise. 

Meanwhile I crawled, red-eyes, into Moulins-Engilbert, to pay my taxes to the filthy, Capitalist pigs, and sat to eat a croissant and coffee in the sun, while my blood boiled with rage at the injustice done by the Idle Rich, -  to the Workers all around me, with their ladders, and paints and tractors, and floury hands. 

...........................................................................................

Later

I am to go on holiday! And for a year!,
Toby tells me that he has put my name down for a one-year holiday in a North Korean Political Correctional Facility near Pong-ping-ping in the mountains! How excited am I! Apparently, I get up at four, and work till dusk, at which time I am allowed a small bowl of thin gruel, while I watch the improving video thoughts of Kim Jong Un, after which I get my daily flogging. I was a bit worried about having my fingernails pulled, but Toby says not to worry... they grow back in a year or two.

The holiday camp is at minus twenty, so I must remember to take a thick jumper, and I have been reassured that I will probably not miss cricket, and Countdown each afternoon. I do like cabbage, and so 120 hours a week picking them in the frost could be fun.

I am somewhat concerned about the electric shocks to my genitals, but I'm told it is about as offensive as a frog in my pants...so I am prepared for that. I shall be taking my English-Korean phrase book, so I can beg for mercy in their own language, and some presents for the guards...perhaps some whips and tooth-extractors, which, I am told, wear-out over time.

So there it is... a chance to lose weight, and get to know the extraordinary benefits of Communism. 
..........................................................................................

Later

I cannot tell you just how much fun I am having at Camp Desolation in Ping-Pong-Pung, North Korea!!! 

First photo is of the welcoming committee playfully throwing tin-tacks upon the parade ground as three thousand of us gather bare-foot, to hear a stirring speech by the Commandant upon the joys of Communism... And to think (according to Toby) these blessings will shortly come to France! Sadly, they forgot to put porridge in our evening gruel, but I ate my scummy grey water with a spoon with lip-smacking signs of pleasure, as did all the others... And I have made my first friend... Watta- Dim-Sod, who got fifty years for forgetting to bow to the ninety-foot statue of Our Great Leader, as he passed in a blizzard carrying a hundred-weight of cabbage on his back from the fields the other night! 

Second photo is of our jolly Camp Guard,Red-Eye-Loon, who fires his machine gun at us if we run to the fields of a morning without sufficient energy. What fun he is! 

Third photo is of Mrs and Mr Bum-Spike, who sets out our punishment if we forget to praise our Dear Leader with sufficient sincerity. Mrs Bum-Spike has a collection of fingers, cut from all nationalities... Pleased to see such an interest in the outside world. She keeps talking of "Englis-Fingurs', whatever that is! 

The fourth is the memorial, erected daily, to those who have died of hunger, thirst and over-work.

Must get some shut-eye now since I have to be up in ten minutes to imitate a morning cockerel, who  might have been eaten...

Wish you were here...

German Guilt Brings Down Society

When you hear modern German expressed on television it is delivered with a sing-songy kind of accent, with the minimum of assertion, and an overwhelming need to concur, and to placate other speakers. Often it is interlarded with English words to avoid referencing cringe-making German words of the Third Reich. Possibly it is a long, slow reaction to Hitler. His sharp, belligerent delivery, with their vulgar overtones, has intimidated German-speakers who came after. And so the German people are in a long, slow search for a new identity.

One of the more profound and traumatic lessons internalised by most Germans concerns previous brutal treatment of minorities in their country. So averse are Germans to insulting their ‘guests’ that many public figures engage in a dance of  avoidance and denial about the bad behaviour of minorities. It parallels the disturbing cases across Britain where Pakistani paedophile gangs who raped young white girls was the source of a sustained and unconscionable cover-up by the authorities for fear of appearing racist. Who could have believed in the early days of Political Correctness that there would evolve  so many officials, tongue-tied and lying, to deny the facts before them? Who would have believed that Political Correctness would, one day, make donkeys out of politicians and mules out of mayors? Who could have believed that those called-upon to take action would retreat behind a barrier of evasive lies, and cunning false explanation?

Many young Muslim men have a familiar technique to touch foreign women. I have seen it for years out side the Rochechouart Station in Paris, where the ever-present gang of several hundred block the path to the station allowing a narrow alley of groping hands for the women hurrying to work. It is thought allowable because the police refuse to take action.

The New-Year’s Eve attacks upon German women on the last day of 2015 has engendered such a rash of denials and lies from officials that it sometimes looks like a new social disease;  kind of mass mental aberration whereby many people in responsible positions lose the ability to see or learn what is going-on around them. Similar in a way to all those German citizens who lived close by the death-camps, saw the smoke of crematoria, smelt the burning flash, saw their streams run pink with blood, but denied everything. The mayor of the town of Ohrdruf committed suicide, along with his wife, after General Walton Walker ordered the people of the town to visit a sub-camp of Buchenwald near Ohrdruf.

The Mayor of Cologne, Frau Henrietta Reker suggested that the thousand rampant Muslim men at the main station on New Years Eve were possibly not as described by many witnesses; Muslim men from Arabia and North Africa. She seemed to be putting the blame upon the molested girls themselves and proposed the simply solution that German girls should keep an arm’s length between themselves and the attackers; as if the women could simply rely on Muslim men to respect that supposed arm’s length. One official suggested that the sexual assaults were done by ‘tourists from North Africa’, or foreigners coming to the party from all over Europe. They simply refused to believe that the hundreds of thousands of Muslim immigrants that had trekked up through the Balkans last summer could have attacked German women so openly. At the time of the mass immigration there was a suggestion that the many ‘families’ holding-out trays of sweets to the new arrivals on German stations everywhere were actors appointed by the government to sweeten the invasion.

Denial is necessary when the world we occupy does not correlate with our hopes. Many Germans hoped to assuage the gnawing pains of guilt over their past by demonstrating, somewhat hysterically, that they have changed, and nothing will turn them against their minorities again. And into that delicate charade of the cuddly German steps a ruthless group of religious believers from the seventh century. ‘You must treat us well; Frau Merkel invited us!’, a dodgy Syrian  is supposedly told the suspicious police. He already knew of his power over the softy Germans. Play the guilt card. And that guilt is deep. On YouTube you may see a Right Wing German member of parliament inviting the days, twenty years hence, when Muslims will run Germany. Immigration of Muslims is leading to a slow German suicide, which has begun with denying rights to their own white citizens that they over-generously offer to Muslim Rapists.

Days after the assaults, the German opinion is hardening. Days  later  Frau Merkel described the assaults as "repugnant criminal acts that Germany will not accept".  She added: "The feeling women had in this case of being at people's mercy, without any protection, is intolerable for me personally as well.

We must examine again and again whether we have already done what is necessary in terms of deportations from Germany in order to send clear signals  to those who are not prepared to abide by our legal order."

There is, of course, something complex behind all this confusion; something that has never occurred to the German. Those who cheered the arrivals last summer jointly suffer an innocence concerning the nature of ‘culture’. And it is this. Culture is not simply a form of Group belief and Behaviour. It is a heritable set of beliefs and values that take millennia to evolve. The Germans will not be able to retrain Muslim misogynists simply by lectures upon appropriate behaviour, nor by revealing the German Laws protecting women in public places. The culture of Arabs and other North Africans is as old as their tribes and as intractable as as their genes. Most of the visiting Muslims will never be able to change their beliefs about women, and nor will their children and grand-children. Many do, of course, and adopt Western values, and enjoy Western family lives.  But most continue Tribal  behaviours that allow the slap, the punch, and the occasional murder. It can be seen in the laws and habits of all Muslim countries, and among the many closed Muslim communities in The West. Women wear the burka not only to hide the bruises, but to signal submission in the unconscious hope of escaping the moment of masculine anger.

What is missing from all these new confrontations between Islam and the West, which the chief of police described as an unprecedented mass crime on the streets of Germany, is any kind of understanding of Islamic misogyny.  And, curiously, it is not about Islam; it is about us in The West! Unknown to most people in The West we have enjoyed two millennia of slow emancipation of women. We are perhaps fortunate in our history to have had strong women leaders; Elizabeth the First, Victoria, and our present queen; all setting a limit to public perceptions that women are stupid and inferior. And so the changes over hundreds of years have been slow and almost imperceptible. Such is the importance of Feminism. Back in the nineteen forties, there was still so much to do to bring British women to the forefront. I feel shame at what I believed as a child, but I was a child of my times. And was it not extraordinary that women of those times endured the patronising and humiliating attitudes of men? The changes were not trivial; they were monumental. It took the evolution of the male brain to the stage that women are respected as intellectual equals. And the job is not finished yet. Another century might do it for us in The West.

And so what hope for Muslim men? Even under the criticism of powerful women in The West, it may take centuries for Muslim men to evolve a reasonable attitude toward their womenfolk. For now, most Muslims continue to treat their womenfolk as children. Or donkeys. They cannot help it. To criticise them is to confuse our ‘elightenened ways’ with twenty centuries of slow evolution of men’s attitudes towards women. The misogynists are, after all, in the majority in this world.

What a Surprise ! The Arabs are Learning to Discuss Among  Themselves !

Most of the world banned public discussion centuries ago. Dictators and warlords trade in secrecy. The joke ‘Minister for Information’ in Tunisia, before the Arab spring swept him from power, believed that his job was to censor the media ruthlessly, so that news of the outside world did not reach his people. It would only upset them to know just how prosperous the world is becoming, particularly countries of the Far East, and parts of Africa; places which the Arabs have felt to be inferior.

 The Arab 22 nations of the Middle East and north Africa,  amounting to about four hundred million people, are only a small part of Islam in the world. And the Arab world has been the most secretive, and the most deliberately backward,  refusing to translate Western books on science and politics into Arabic, to keep their people ‘pure’ from civilising public discourse. The problems is simple, even the most sketchy of scientific knowledge seems to undermine The Koran; not only in direct refutation of Koranic claims, but also in wider knowledge such as the contradictory evidence to the holy texts from geology, genetics, biology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, palaeontology, history, physics and the study of ancient texts, which reveals many of them to be bogus.

And so the Muslim world has had to shut down almost all scientific knowledge, save that of pharmacy (but NOT medicine since so many people rely upon Western cures to stay alive, but do not want to inquire into anything that suggests Evolution!) A decade ago the Saudis promised to build advanced medical facilities and to enter the world’s economy in medicine, but, inevitably, the contradictions of all science with holy books threw power back into the hands of raving pulpit preachers who had the plan shelved. And those same preachers raging against women and The West each day have drawn Saudi Arabia closer and closer to their hoped-for paradise on earth set somewhere in the seventh century. And in keeping with the protection of seventh century knowledge, even public discussion on many subjects is banned. The Saudis now call it ‘terrorism’. The Shia cleric Nimr Al-Nimr, murdered on January 2^nd 2015, was a somewhat moderate voice calling for quite mild reforms, but that was enough for the Saudis to call him a terrorist. As one Arab intellectual recently avowed, it has become illegal for Arabs to have opinions, or to share ideas.

In Pakistan (which is not an Arab country) the former dictator, Zia-U-Haq, forbad all Western scientific journals and books, and so a university scientific education ended with those piles of old and mouldy Western journals of the nineteen eighties. Universities were turned into mosques. A science course spent much time discussing the speed which Paradise is drawing away from earth, which was the supposed centre of the universe, or the temperatures of the fires of hell. There has been some respite upon their war against science, but it has resolved into a terrible dichotomy in the minds of science students where speculation upon the nature of the universe has to be curtailed.

A new kind of free discussion is beginning to appear on Egyptian and Middle Eastern television, in which a prominent writer or academic may be brave enough to spell-out the failures of the Muslim world compared to The West. Those speakers have to be careful of course, and have to pretend that the Islamic world is far ahead, and that The West will, one day, bow to the superior Islamic cultures… only… Only the reality is becoming intrusive. And the reality is that the Muslim world is rapidly being overtaken by countries like China, India, Brazil and Nigeria, once regarded as culturally very inferior. One such speaker is the outspoken Ibrahim Al-Buleihi, former member of the Saudi Shura ruling council, who has been courageous in setting the record straight in such things as Arab aggression, and Arab backwardness.

What has been revealed is the depth of delusion the Arabic world carries. And how they believe that the greater world could be vastly improved by a dose of the Koran in Arabic, and some Sharia Law. Underpinning their sense of superiority is a constant reference to the Great Humiliations of the past, by which they may mean the partitioning of the Arab world into countries such as Iraq and Syria after the Great War and upon the decline of the Ottoman Empire of Turkey. It was the 1916 Sykes-Picot agreement, cooked-up by Britain and France upon dividing the Middle East under spheres of Allied interest. That agreement imposed rectilinear nations out of the hodgepodge of tribal allegiances is spoken sorely by Arab intellectuals as if it happened yesterday. Raving preachers in mosques play upon the Great Humiliation, describing, for example, how Westerners belittle the Islamic nation of Turkey, by naming a bird, and eating it on the holy day of Christmas. We know of no such humiliation. In fact, many British and French have an admiration for the Arab peoples for their socially advanced forms of relationships; although women are excluded from that.

Because they have no notion of cultural pluralism, lifestyle, and the public good, the Arabs have long assumed that the wealth, bought by oil, positions The West as mere servants of the Islamic world, providing them with cars and phones as any good servant should. But the hard realisation is that the Arab world produces almost nothing, not even needles and head-dresses. ‘Your headband was made in England!’ scorned one modern Arab thinker to his television host. But to be fair there are a few successes such as in telecommunications (safe from Koranic insult) like Orascom in Egypt and Etilsalat in Abu Dhabi (UAE)

One Arab intellectual teasingly proposed that almost every Arab believes that the Arab world could walk on the moon next year if they had an inclination. ‘They see American passenger planes with the names of Arab countries and assume that we made them! They use mobile phones with Arab writing and assume that they were made by Arabs!’ he scorned. The depth of Arab delusion concerning their abilities is worrying, and so are their poorly realised plans to modernise. But modernise they must. The falls in oil prices is beginning to squeeze them. Most Arab countries import not only most of their food, but also all home-contents even down to knives and forks. And they have little sense of the enormous social changes required to begin to make such things, including building a universal technical and vocational education. They have no idea of automated factories, but still think in terms of an artisan in the souk cutting-out spoons with hand-shears. Interestingly, that’s exactly how china saw mass production fifty years ago. Small-scale makes big economy? No, it doesn’t!

It is all a matter of understanding economics. They look to Japan, China, Korea and even Israel, and complain that many nations took Western technology fifty years ago and now profit by it, while the Arab world merely offers the disaffected youth the promises of seventy black-eyed virgins when they kill themselves. And it is the lesson of economic reality that hurts the most. As one writer pointed-out, the four hundred million Arabs (including all that oil) has a smaller GDP than that Germany, and is likely to fall with the falling price of oil. Even with the oil, the Arab nations together produce about the same as one State of the USA.

The Killer Figures – From IMF Country Report on Saudi Arabia September 2015

Saudi Arabia Corporate Sector

Although the Non-Oil Private Sector of the Saudi Economy may be larger than the Corporate Sector (there is little information) these figures illustrate a very weak and almost insignificant part of the Saudi Economy, outside subsidiary Oil businesses.

The total Saudi GDP is set at 644 -744 billions of US Dollars. Of that, the Corporate world makes a mere 27 billion, and the private sector, as much. It is all a bit of a guess. But it does illustrate the urgency of reform and the small base upon which an economy may be built.

The pretence that Arab nations could rapidly become rich by means other than oil is a serious one. One writer mentioned the unbelievable, that any commercial future of the Arab nations must necessarily involve the liberation of women. Arab intellectuals talk of major social reform to come such as the release of women from bondage and into the workforce; the learning of  English, the  abandonment of world-shaming executions, the modernising of universities with a Western slant towards technology,  and most controversially of all, -the introduction of democracy. In The West, people vote and a few weeks later the government changes with not a blip. Why do Arab changes of government always involve car-bombs and guns, they ask?

News of the Western ‘work-ethic’ comes hard. But where could they possibly introduce the idea of work into nations dependent upon oil revenues? A recent survey, says one Arab politician, revealed that the average Arab administrator does twenty seven minutes of work a day, and spends his time drinking coffee, chatting or running errands. But in The West, people work 40, 50, sometimes 60 hours a week.

And so the common features of the West such as Free Speech, Human Rights, and Democracy is beginning to weigh heavily on Arab minds.

Behind all the grumbling and the calls for reform lies one unmentionable obstacle. For Arab nations to commercialise and industrialise they would need an educated workforce, familiar with Western science and technology. But that same Western knowledge is incompatible with the Koran, which is profoundly anti-science and demands that all  knowledge comes from authority, and not from the laboratory. Until the Arab nations are able to remove Islam from college and from daily life and consign it so the mosque, then there is no possibility of an Arab renaissance. And the many uneducated raving mullahs shouting from their pulpits are not going to relinquish power that easily, even as Arab fortunes sink into the sands.

Bad Journalism Hides Migrant Fraudsters

Bad Journalism Hides Migrant Fraudsters

An experienced television journalist should ignore all those who push themselves to the front to be interviewed. On the migrant routes through the Balkans they are smilers with good teeth and lovable kids, and claim to be brain-surgeons or museum curators, chased from good jobs in Aleppo. What the astute journalist should be going-after are  all those young men to be seen in the background, pulling hoodies over their faces. They make-up the suspicious twenty percent of migrants, who have all remembered to bring their phones and chargers, their designer change of trainers, and iPads, but inexplicably have all ‘lost’ their passports. Many carry forged papers showing them to have credentials usually denied to illiterates, such as accountants and doctors. And how I long to see them interviewed. But modern journalism is peopled with the timid, the indifferent and the  incurious, bred of the BBC courses designed to elevate the undeserving children of the BBC, whereas our old-style journalism would soon have revealed the truth of those face-coverers.

In my experience of war-zones I suspect that many are deserter soldiers who have done terrible things, or are fresh out of prisons, or are part of gangs hurrying towards Europe for a bit of embezzlement. But why is it so difficult to sit each one at a desk with a skilled interviewer, and triage them; divide them into genuine asylum-seekers, and crooks on the run? After all, we did that in 1945, when some six million European refugees were sorted that way. That’s how we cornered Himmler, who bit into a cyanide capsule saving us the bother. And we caught many, many of wanted Death-Camp guards who ended their lives upon our knotted ropes.

One may justifiably blame a kind of Political Correctness, upon Who’s rules one must not decide upon culpability by interview alone, but should wait until they have committed further crimes upon our undefended population. You see, the Lower Middle Classes who make-up our administrative front line can only recognise people like themselves; straight-laced, plausible, and a little bit dull. They have no experience of shysters and con-men, of articulate spivs and spin-monkeys, and wet-lashed head-leaning fraudsters only wanting a little bit of money to get their daughter back home her much-needed eye operation so that she can see out of her one good eye.  

I have spent years in poor countries, and know every excuse for begging, and every form of parasitism upon the wealthier populations, and spot the amiable cheats even before they have sat down. Perhaps the first line of European defence would be to train  thousand or two to engage those crop-headed young men in a hurry to join the West, and to demand some evidence for their sob-stories. 

The Role of Lobbyists and Paid Liars in Modern Britain

False information has a  high commercial value. We may think of tobacco lobbyists and their corrupt scientists who bamboozled the American Senate and Congress with false information upon the toxicity of tobacco for decades from 1950-2000. But the ‘false Information Industry’ (putting aside the advertising industry for now) is growing in power and influence.

I have watched the progress of two such lobbying groups within the Westminster Parliament of London, and also the Plenary Sessions of the European Parliament on its monthly sojourn in Strasbourg, France.  The first in the British Chemical Industries Association (unfortunately named the ‘CIA’) and the Anti Vivisection Group concerning minimising and curtailing experiments on animals. The CIA had access to sympathetic politicians with the intention of delaying and diluting new legislation upon such things as the tougher safety rules on the transporting and the use of harmful chemicals in domestic usage. The Anti-Vivisectionists took their love of animals and birds to the level that they were reluctant to believe in the efficacy of all experiments, and had good evidence that experiments upon animals, which usually resulted in the death of the animal, were unnecessarily widespread, and unregulated. A case in point was a Cambridge experiment of destroying the hearing of chaffinches in exploring the evolution of birdsong. To be fair to the CIA, the organisation is well aware of the dangers of manipulating public opinion, and have seen the discrediting of public performers in the Oil, Banking and Nuclear industries, who have suffered by means of a ‘Lie Too Far’. And so the CIA tries to blend its lobbying with practical improvements to its own industry.

Of great concern in the growth of lobbying in the British Parliament. It is an industry worth billions, and of such reach and influence that it now has a large influence on legislation, primarily against the public interest. Lobbying has enormously help develop the Tax-Fraud Industry, the Political Bribery Industry, the Property Speculation and Capital Gains Tax-Avoidance Industry,  and to the general impoverishment of the working British public, most of whom are poorer now than their parents forty years ago.

Occasionally, and when news of the excesses of lobbyists’ power come to light, the government of the day will announce a ‘crackdown’ upon lobbying, such as demanding a ‘Registry of Lobbyists’, but such hollow intentions usually results in the further empowerment of lobbyists, who are great contributors to Political Campaign Funds!

Paid Liars in Action

To be seen outside many and African or Asian courtroom was  of bench of paid liars, or ‘witnesses’. For a small fee and a little briefing, they will appear before the judge on your behalf, quite animated and articulate, to swear over their mother’s grave that they were with you the night of the murder/rape/robbery, and would swear that you took no part in it. They were alibi-providers. Because they had been doing it for years they had become quite plausible actors; moving the court from tears to laughter; full of surprising bits of circumstantial detail; endlessly persuasive, and well able to split a jury from the judge to land a ‘not-guilty’ verdict.

Today, a similar group of Information-Managers, or Paid Liars have emerged in the media to baffle the public and to dissuade them from their worthy observations.

Case History – Paid Liars in Action.

By Jake Wallis Simons. Daily Telegraph

10:00PM BST 15 Jul 2014

Immigration is an issue that affects every one of us. Right? There are now 7.9 million immigrants living in Britain, which amounts to roughly one person in seven outside of London, and as many as one in three in the capital. Which should have provided fertile material for a two-part programme in which five British-born people from Essex were introduced to five immigrants, and called upon to conclude whether they were a “drain or gain”.

Such was the premise of Nick and Margaret: Too Many Immigrants?(BBC One, Tuesday), presented by The Apprentice’s Nick Hewer and Margaret Mountford who spent more time talking to each other than talking to the camera. Which was odd.

Anyway, this was a lavishly un-scientific take on the immigration debate, highly watchable in its own way. But it suffered from a fatal flaw….

                                          Paid Liar Margaret Mountford

                                             Paid Liar Nick Hewer

How Paid Liars Distort the Facts

Background

Back in the nineteen eighties, and as a way of combatting Globalisation, the Conservative governments of the Western world conceived a plan of lowering the incomes of the lowest paid so that manufacturing could compete with the cheap labour becoming available in Bangla-Desh (clothing) China (Electronics and car-parts) and India (Call Centre Services) Part of the plan was to allow mass immigration from poor countries into the UK, who were attracted by a little-known system of disproportionate ‘Income to Buying-Power’.

Those who support mass immigration often express surprise why immigrants are so willing to work long hours for low incomes. They truly do not understand ‘Income to Buying-Power’.

Immigrants coming to realise that they can earn six to ten times more than their native income immediately find that they can buy houses back in their own country with a few months of work.

An Example…

In 1969, as a student, this author found that he and his girlfriend could work jointly in California for £5 and hour, while the average UK income was £15 a week. We worked during our long student vacation for three years and bought a house in the UK for cash, $2,750.  That is why immigrants are willing to work for minimum wage, £6.30 severely undercutting a Living Wage of £12 an hour demanded by British youngsters. 

………………………..

Although the criminal immigrants are certainly a minority, they are a sizeable and persistent minority causing disproportionate problems for the native population.

The television documentary presented by these two Paid Liars used many of the devices used by totalitarian governments through the media age to present a distorted reality to the public. In general, it is highly selective in the type of witness; it attacks false positions (often called ‘Straw-Dog’ arguments), it presents palpably false information and atypical witnesses. There are possibly as many as one hundred deliberate pieces of trickery contained in the two hours of documentary, and I shall highlight some of them.

The witnesses who had reservations about mass immigration were produced from a long and misleading selection processes that may have considered thousands of people, but selected only a handful who are entirely unrepresentative of their group. They had weak and unthought objections to mass immigration; few facts, and largely unreasonable arguments. For example an elderly couple from Ilford, London, objected to the strange vegetables now to be seen in ‘ethnic’ greengrocers; vegetables which are readily, and pleasingly,  absorbed into the British diet.

There were no witnesses who were victims of gang-crime, such a rape, credit-card scams, theft from cars, pick-pocketing, street-violence, shop-lifting, anti-social behaviour such as defecating in the street, night-time noise, piles of rubbish left in other people’s gardens, theft of goods and services, and so forth. Nor was there any mention of the large number of immigrants serving jail-time, nor of widespread criminal activity such as embezzlement, bribery of officials, or demanding bribes as officials,   benefit fraud, gang-sex with underage British girls by introducing them to drink and drugs, the trafficking of prostitutes, or threats and intimidation of fellow immigrants.

There was no mention that governments all over the world have been helping persistent criminals of their country to move to the UK. The jails of the world have been emptied into the UK.

This view is  consistent with  widespread public opinion.

Curb EU benefit tourism, Whitehall told: Report finds growing concern among Britons about access to the welfare state by migrants

·         Report, due for release earlier this year, was delayed by Liberal Democrats

·         It found evidence of growing public opposition to mass EU migration

·         Academics cited call for cap on numbers allowed in each year

PUBLISHED: 23:08 GMT, 21 July 2014 | UPDATED: 23:14 GMT, 21 July 2014

A major overhaul is needed to curb  migrants’ access to British benefits, a Government review has concluded.

The report finds growing concern among Britons about access to the welfare state by the hundreds of thousands of arrivals from Europe taking advantage of EU free movement rules.  

  

If the system is not urgently reformed it could ‘significantly undermine’ public support for freedom of movement, it concludes.

Unemployed people at a Jobcentre Plus: A report says the public wants curbs on migrants' access to benefits

The report, published today, cites clear evidence that EU migration has put pressure on public services such as the NHS and schools.

And it concludes that EU court rulings have allowed an explosion in illegal activity such as fake passports and sham marriages by non-EU migrants trying to live and work in Britain.

The report, which is based on submissions from businesses, interest groups and members of the public, was due to be published earlier this year. But a Whitehall source said senior Lib Dems blocked its release because they feared it was too critical of the EU……….

Well over 1000 Asian men have been interviewed and about 100 so far convicted of sexually abusing underage girls. These predominately Asian (Pakistani) gangs are studiously excluded when Paid Liars consider questions of the impact of Asian communities upon native populations.

The Rochdale Gang.  

Asian grooming gang detectives hunt for FORTY more men who may have had sex with underage girls

·         Judge says gang preyed on five girls, aged between 13 and 15, partly because they were from different 'community and religion'

·         Nine men jailed for a total of 77 years as police prepare to arrest four more

·         Judge Gerald Clifton dismisses defendants' claims that prosecution was 'triggered by race' after ringleader brands him a 'racist b******'

·         But legal counsel for one of the convicted men says he will launch an appeal on the basis of a tweet by BNP leader Nick Griffin

·         Opportunity to catch the paedophiles missed after complaint four years ago

·         As many as 47 vulnerable girls were plied with alcohol, gifts and money

·         They were then passed around for sex with 'several men a day'

·         At least one victim forced to have sex with 20 men in one night, police say

·         Convicted men will be scattered in prisons across the UK and segregated from other prisoners over fears of revenge attacks

·         Former Labour MP Ann Cryer says gang were left to it because police feared being branded racist

·         Muslim leader warns that some British Pakistani men 'think that white teenage girls are worthless and can be abused without a second thought'

Why Do Paid Liars Try to Influence Public Opinion?

The mass immigration of seven and a half million people into the UK has seriously depressed incomes of the poorest half of British workers, while, at the same time, causing hyper-inflation of property prices. Those who benefit from such changes tend to distort the benefits of mass immigration while concealing their own hidden financial interests. 

How to Deal With The Islamic State 25/08/2014

·         Catherine Taylor on IS      (Oxford Professor of Neuroscience) “….Once you think of the enemy as human, strategies for dealing with him open up. They involve a lot of effort, some of it painful and much of it counter-intuitive. But they have two great advantages over blitzing him, his neighbours and his kids. (Or demonising him, which makes the blitzing more probable – whatever the government says about "no boots on the ground".) These strategies are a lot less striking, from a media perspective, and they make our leaders look much less aggressively heroic; but they reduce the risk of British soldiers dying. And, unlike aggressive heroism, they might reduce the risk to civilians too……”   …Neurotaylor Blog

George Rumens Writes…

The essay is fresh, and a welcome opening-up of the discussion on how we should regard The Islamic State, and how to prepare a suitable response, and a strategy. The strategy is NOT to oppose IS but to neutralise it with sustained and intelligent diplomacy. It can be done, but only in full cognisance of the principles of ‘Conflict Resolution’ I have some experience of this since I spent years on the front line of recent wars, writing about it and gathering film and photos. Here’s how I am remembered from the First Gulf War of 1991…

“In Amman (Jordan)  large Press Conference had been arranged for us. I was to talk to the US Gulf Peace Team participants, but I felt at a loss for words. I asked George Rumens, a British Journalist and a member of our team. “Tell them…” he said, “…that when the war fever and hysteria subside,  we believe that the lasting and more appropriate responses to this war will be felt throughout the world; deepest remorse and regret for the suffering we have caused.””

(‘Iraq Under Siege; The Deadly Impact of Sanctions in War’  –Edited by Anthony Arnove)

I was right twenty three years ago, and I may be right with IS.

Neurotaylor makes a powerful point in suggesting that we forgo the anger and the desire for revenge, and try to understand the IS Group as people. They are new to their situation, and borne-aloft by a great passion stemming from a massive sense of injustice, and by the euphoria of seeming to capture, torture and kill supposed enemies.

All conflict resolution seems to start with the unlikely premise that we are faced, not with a cunning and scheming enemy, but with a ‘toddler-tantrum’. They, the group,  really do not know what they are doing, or what they should do next. Look at the weakly thought-out claims; that they will shortly conquer Rome, and that they will storm America, kill most of the 370 million population, and convert the rest to Islam. And that is the ideal point to step-in, and to begin to talk. While they are still so very triumphant. Before a group identity and group ideology has hardened.

Marshall Rosenburg’s ‘Non-Violent Communication Seminars’ lectured for years upon the importance of going and listening to your supposed enemy. When you go, not to argue, but to listen, then something unexpected happens. For the first time you begin to suspect that there is some strange logic to their behaviour. It doesn’t make mass-murder acceptable, but it does make it understandable. You hear their deep anguish, and the violent threats created by that anguish, perhaps for the first time. And see what happens to them? For the very first time, they begin to feel that they have been heard, and there are some people they would normally dismiss as enemies, who are prepared to listen, uncritically, to their hopes and dreams.

This kind of diplomacy is  hard road. It involves taking frequent insults and many threats. And so the secret is persistence. It is not a blind persistence but one aimed towards a goal. The goal of all that persistent listening is to draw the renegade movement back into the fold. They know, without us having to spell it out, that what they do by way of ditches full of corpses, and spectacular beheadings, is wrong. They know that it is against the Koran, and against the basic decency within their maturing minds. And one thing they would like to hear above all other, is a reasonable voice.

I once met a young Arab man in his thirties, in an Islamic Safe-House, in West Africa. He told me that he had been a killer in the Beirut wars of the eighties, and that he had killed many enemies. But that now he had come to realise that he was swept-along with the euphoria of those times, and by the seeming demands of Islam. But now he realised that he had done wrong, killed many people, and could never go back. And so we best look to the healing powers of association and not the dividing power of military aggression. 

Secrets of the Russian Aid Convoys to Ukraine 25/08/201

Secrets of the Russian Aid Convoys to Ukraine           25/08/2014

Russian Convoy

The Russian 'Aid' convoys of up to 300 near- empty trucks crossing from Russia in Ukraine have puzzled many. Why would Russia waste so much money carrying sleeping-bags and bottled water into Ukraine? It is best explained by an old story. 

The old story about the border between Vietnam and Laos goes as follows. The border crossing is guarded by Customs who raise taxes on almost anything crossing that border. A familiar and frequent crosser was an old man on a bicycle who had with him a bag of sandwiches in the front basket. Often the Customs officials searched him, but they could find nothing taxable. Day after day and year after year he would cross the border around midday. The officials gave-up on him. After his day of retirement, they confronted him and asked him why he made that journey everyday for years, but carrying nothing. And so they asked, "What were you smuggling?" 
"Bicycles!"

It would be an intelligent guess that the Russians are using convoys to bring separatist Ukrainian fighters back and forth, disguised as drivers. About three hundred would go to Russia to be trained in the latest arms and equipment, while 300 would come back into Ukraine ready to take-down the elected government so to make Ukraine a satellite of Russia.
