There was a discussion on the BBC Today programme just before the end regarding the FIFA lash-up, with criminal actions and fraudulent allegations rolling around like a football. The thieves have fallen out, the bribery and theft are coming out of the woodwork. The discussion centred around the question of how international football should be governed, but the suggestion which rang truest to the present shambles came from the BBC clown-extraordinaire:-

Let the United Nations run it!

Update: “Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.”

To the men and women in uniform who fought and died defending freedom, you are not forgotten.

It may seem a little surprising, but I for one am all in favour of Bradford’s Muslims (and all the other ghettos as well) marrying their first cousins, brothers, sisters, and for all I know or care, any other close relation.

I mean, as the old saying goes, ‘There is nothing wrong with a little incest, as long as you keep it within the family’.

The fact that a good couple of decades of familial intermarrying will of course produce even more psychiatrically-unstable inbred morons than there are now is all to our advantage, as they will eventually become sterile as Darwin foretold, and then we shall be rid of this cancer within our cities without having to undergo the old ethnic cleansing routine, as they will of course have done it to themselves.

That is one very small step for ASDA, but hopefully a giant one for Great Britain!

Proposals passed by the European Parliament’s home affairs committee call for member states to staff an EU Border Guard System. If MEPs get their way, the new agency will get a multi-million pound budget and be able to deploy officers without consulting governments who supply them. Critics say plans to re-organise the existing Frontex border agency are a first step towards creating a continental immigration system. The scheme is contained in a review of the Warsaw-based EU border agency, conducted by Maltese MEP Dr Simon Busuttil.

It says the various operations carried out by Frontex should be merged into one EU Border Guard system and recommends an increase in its already bloated budget so it can buy its own planes, boats and other equipment. The review also says all EU member states – including Britain – should be ordered to contribute officers to a pool of border guards. It also insists members sign a “solidarity clause”, which would force Britain to take a share of all refugees arriving in the EU, whichever country they land in. While Britain is not signed up to Frontex, the proposals say all member states should be compelled to take part in the new system.

Notice the language. Britain will be “ordered, Britain will be “compelled”. This is emerging bureaucratic fascism but we will be swallowed up by it IF we remain bedded to the EU. In or Out – that is the only choice that matters.

I read that Sarah Palin rumbled through Washington on the back of a Harley as she and her family began an East Coast tour renewing speculation that the former Alaska governor would join the still unsettled Republican presidential contest.

Wearing a black leather jacket and surrounded by a throng of cheering fans, Palin and family members jumped on bikes and joined thousands of other motorcyclists on the Memorial Day weekend ride from the Pentagon to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Palin didn’t mention politics as she visited with participants, but she smiled broadly when many in the crowd urged her to run. When one man asked her if she was running, she smiled and answered, “Don’t know.”

Palin remains one of the biggest questions for Republicans, who have not yet settled on a frontrunner to challenge President Barack Obama’s re-election. While many of Palin’s likely rivals have worked to build campaign organizations in early nominating states such as Iowa or New Hampshire, Palin has taken no concrete steps to begin a presidential campaign. Given Palin’s star power, she might be able to wait longer than others. But the clock is ticking, the establishment isn’t happy with its options and one of the earliest tests of campaign infrastructure, the straw poll in Ames, Iowa, is scheduled for August.

Palin showed no hints she would join the field on Sunday although she again demonstrated her ability to build excitement and practice the person-to-person, retail politics that she clearly loves. In heels and black flare slacks, Palin shook hands and posed for pictures with well-wishers.

“How do you wear all this leather and stay cool?” she asked one woman. Palin asked others to show off their tattoos as she took off her own leather jacket and worked her way through a crush of fans, photographers and reporters.

Just before she, husband Todd and daughters Bristol and Piper rolled from the Pentagon’s parking lot, she gave a thumbs-up to a military police officer who asked if he could snap a picture while taking a break from directing traffic.

On the windshield of Palin’s bike: a likeness of President George W. Bush. Next to it, the words “Miss Me?” And on her hand, the words “justice rolls” were written in smeared ink.

It was an apparent reference to Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, which is quoted on Palin’s website:

“We will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.”

You have to give it to her – she has STAR POWER.  I listened to the “star” panel of experts on Fox discuss her chances and noted William Kristol – Mr Beltway insider himself – write off her chances. Good. Palin is the anthithesis of all these imagined insider smooth-operators – the people who insisted that John McCain was a winner and who now angle for Romney or some other non-event as GOP candidate.

Rodney Atkinson sent me this interesting article on life in Detroit.

“For 15 years, from the mid 1970′s to 1990, I worked in Detroit , Michigan .  I watched it descend into the abyss of crime, debauchery, gun play, drugs, school truancy, car-jacking, gangs, and human depravity.  I watched entire city blocks burned out.  I watched graffiti explode on buildings, cars, trucks, buses, and school yards.  Trash everywhere!

Detroiters walked through it, tossed more into it, and ignored it.  Tens of thousands, and then hundreds of thousands today exist on federal welfare, free housing, and food stamps! With Aid to Dependent Children, minority women birthed eight to 10, and in one case, one woman birthed 24 children as reported by the Detroit Free Press, all on American taxpayer dollars.

A new child meant a new car payment, new TV, and whatever mom wanted.  I saw Lyndon Baines Johnson’s ‘Great Society’ flourish in Detroit . If you give money for doing nothing, you will get more hands out taking money for doing nothing.

Mayor Coleman Young, perhaps the most corrupt mayor in America , outside of Richard Daley in Chicago , rode Detroit down to its knees…  He set the benchmark for cronyism, incompetence, and arrogance.  As a black man, he said, “I am the MFIC.” The IC meant “in charge”. You can figure out the rest. Detroit became a majority black city with 67 percent African-Americans.

As a United Van Lines truck driver for my summer job from teaching math and science, I loaded hundreds of American families into my van for a new life in another city or state. Detroit plummeted from 1.8 million citizens to 912,000 today.  At the same time, legal and illegal immigrants converged on the city, so much so, that Muslims number over 300,000.  Mexicans number 400,000 throughout Michigan , but most work in Detroit .  As the whites moved out, the Muslims moved in.

As the crimes became more violent, the whites fled. Finally, unlawful Mexicans moved in at a torrid pace.    Detroit suffers so much shoplifting that grocery stores no longer operate in many inner city locations.  You could cut the racial tension in the air with a knife!

Detroit may be one of our best examples of multiculturalism: pure dislike, and total separation from America .

Today, you hear Muslim calls to worship over the city like a new American Baghdad with hundreds of Islamic mosques in Michigan , paid for by Saudi Arabia oil money.  High school flunk out rates reached 76 percent last June, according to NBC’s Brian Williams.  Classrooms resemble more foreign countries than America .  English?  Few speak it!  The city features a 50 percent illiteracy rate and growing.

Unemployment hit 28.9 percent in 2009 as the auto industry vacated the city.  In Time Magazine’s October 4, 2009, “The Tragedy of Detroit: How a great city fell, and how it can rise again,” I choked on the writer’s description of what happened. “If Detroit had been ravaged by a hurricane, and submerged by a ravenous flood, we’d know a lot more about it,” said Daniel Okrent.  “If drought, and carelessness had spread brush fires across the city, we’d see it on the evening news every night.”

Earthquake, tornadoes, you name it, if natural disaster had devastated the city that was once the living proof of American prosperity, the rest of the country might take notice.

But Detroit , once our fourth largest city, now 11th, and slipping rapidly, has had no such luck.  Its disaster has long been a slow unwinding that seemed to remove it from the rest of the country.

Even the death rattle that in the past year emanated from its signature industry brought m ore attention to the auto executives than to the people of the city, who had for so long been victimized by their dreadful decision making.”

As Coleman Young’s corruption brought the city to its knees, no amount of federal dollars could save the incredible payoffs, kick backs, and illegality permeating his administration.  I witnessed the city’s death from the seat of my 18-wheeler tractor trailer because I moved people out of every sector of decaying Detroit .

“By any quantifiable standard, the city is on life support. Detroit ‘s treasury is $300 million short of the funds needed to provide the barest municipal services,” Okrent said.  “The school system, which six years ago was compelled by the teachers’ union to reject a philanthropist’s offer of $200 million to build 15 small, independent charter high schools, is in receivership.  The murder rate is soaring, and 7 out of 10 remain unsolved.  Three years after Katrina devastated New Orleans , unemployment in that city hit a peak of 11%. In Detroit , the unemployment rate is 28.9%.

That’s worth spelling out: twenty-eight point nine percent.”  At the end of Okrent’s  report, and he will write a dozen more about Detroit, he said, “That’s because the story of Detroit is not simply one of a great city’s collapse, it’s also about the erosion of the industries that helped build the country we know today.  The ultimate fate of Detroit will reveal much about the character of America in the 21st century.  If what was once the most prosperous manufacturing city in the nation has been brought to its knees, what does that say about our recent past?  And if it can’t find a way to get up, what does that say about our future?”

As you read in my book review of Chris Steiner’s book, “$20 Per Gallon”, the auto industry won’t come back.  Immigration will keep pouring more, and more uneducated third world immigrants from the Middle East into Detroit , thus creating a beachhead for Islamic hegemony in America ..  If 50 percent illiteracy continues, we will see more homegrown terrorists spawned out of the Muslim ghettos of Detroit . Illiteracy plus Islam equals walking human bombs.

You have already seen it in Madrid , Spain ; London , England and Paris , France with train bombings, subway bombings and riots.  As their numbers grow, so will their power to enact their barbaric Sharia Law that negates republican forms of government, first amendment rights, and subjugates women to the lowest rungs on the human ladder.  We will see more honor killings by upset husbands, fathers, and brothers that demand subjugation by their daughters, sisters and wives.  Muslims prefer beheadings of women to scare the hell out of any other members of their sect from straying.  Multiculturalism: what a perfect method to kill our language, culture, country, and way of life.”

“Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.   Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.” — Benjamin Franklin

Thoughts? I think Benjamin calls it right.

Ireland was first to follow Greece into financial ruin. Now, as Greece openly talks of a second bail out (or an exit from the Eurozone) Ireland continues to follow;

“Transport Minister Leo Varadkar sparked alarm and confusion when he said the Government may need to get new loans from the European Union and IMF next year. Ahead of an anticipated backlash from investors this morning, Finance Minister Michael Noonan’s officials insisted the Coalition’s firm plan was still to return to borrowing on the bond markets in 2012. The Department of Finance stressed there was no change in the Government’s plans, as Mr Varadkar’s comments were reported around the world.

Mr Varadkar was also left backpedalling after he was reported as saying: “I think it’s very unlikely we’ll be able to go back (to borrowing on the bond markets) next year. I think it might take a bit longer… 2013 might be possible but who knows? ”It would mean a second programme (of loans from theEU/IMF). Either an extension of the existing programme or a second programme. I think that would generally be most people’s view.”

Ireland is already struggling with the concept of repaying that which it already has been loaned but now Minister Varadkar is hinting at a second loan! The truth is that Ireland does not need ANY loans. It needs to re-assert financial sovereignty by leaving the EU and letting the banks fail. It needs to get off its knees and stop being a whipping boy of the IMF/EU elite. But it lacks any political will. The eunuchs in power will continue to grovel to their overmasters in Brussels and all the time the transgenerational debt imposed on the Irish nation is all but ignored.

Covering Northern Ireland affairs is a tad boring these days but I did have to laugh at this headline;

“Northern Bank says NI’s recovery “far from spectacular”.

As readers will know, I pay little attention to the economic predictions of the Northern Bank’s Angela McGowan. But the suggestion that our economy is “in recovery” defies all economic reality! Unemployment here is STILL rising, business failure is at all time high, personal insolvencies have soared, our economy is STILL contracting so I am at a loss to understand how we can be “in recovery.”

Reading the article, she is actually suggesting that quarterly growth forecasts are being downgraded so I think that the only thing that can be deemed “spectacular” is the apparent  spin in the BBC headline. Please remember that Northern Ireland’s economy is heavily reliant on the bloated public sector and yet this is the sector which will have to retract if the Executive is to live within budget! Furthermore, the Corporation Tax cuts which so many here cheer-lead for will devastate the same Public Sector that we are continually told cannot take any further cuts (Mind you, that’s a lie of astronomical proportions) There is  a structual dysfunctionalityat the heart of our economy that can only be fixed by carefully re-balancing it by vigurously promoting private sector growth. There are many ways to achieve this but a regional cut in Corporation Tax is not one of them. I forecast that our economy will shrink this year, and again 2012.

You must not point out some of the medical consequences of Islam;

“Inbreeding among British Muslims is threatening the health of their children, a  leading geneticist warned yesterday. Professor Steve Jones, from University College London, said the common practice in Islamic communities for cousins to marry each other increased the risk of birth defects.

‘There may be some evidence that cousins marrying one another can be harmful,’ he  told an audience at the Hay Festival. ‘We should be concerned about that as there can be a lot of hidden genetic damage. Children are much more likely to get two copies of a damaged gene. ‘Bradford is very inbred.

There is a huge amount of cousins marrying each other there.’ Studies have shown that  55 per cent of British Pakistanis are married to first cousins – and in Bradford, this  rises to 75 per cent

I wonder what the % of Pakistans marrying first cousins in Pakistan is? Could Bradford be more Pakistani than Pakistan?

Naturally, Professor Jones has invoked the wrath of those Muslim spokesmen (who were so mute when Bin Laden was finally brought to justice). They see nothing wrong with first cousins marrying.
