COW FRAUDS AND THE SCREWING OF BRITAIN A BIT AT A TIME

Here’s some more baffling bull shit for the taxpayer to ponder.  Why oh why are people allowed to get away with these sorts of things?

I can never find more then one out of a few hundred who think nothing is wrong. Reading the comments that readers make at the end of newspaper articles, one gets the definite impression that the vast majority of people are fed up. They are angry, they are frustrated and some seem to be apoplectic in their anger.  Yet nothing improves.  The welfare wheels simply grind on.  Working people continue to do that and continue to pay their taxes, mostly on time. Nothing is cheap here and if it is, trust me. You do not want it, whatever ‘it’ is.

Welfare moms who blackmail their city council with threats of having more kids until they get what they want, and say so very publicly.
Employees who make a career of suing their employers for thousands AND ... under nanny state rules can and do collect because the state has decreed that one of a citizen’s inviolate and inalienable rights, besides access to other people’s earned monies, is the absolute right to never have his or her feelings hurt. Think of it reader, a lifetime of no hurt feelings. So people ... mind always what you say. Careful now. Think 2wice or thrice before telling someone off or arguing with someone.  Hurt feelings can cost a lot of money.
Here ya go. Take a look at that slob, that ugly fat cow, that hipo. She claims someone called her, “babe.” Who in their right mind that wasn’t blind would say that? Babe? Her?  She claimed a calendar was a “sexual advance.” Will someone tell me how a calendar can be an advance? What crap.
Here ... look at this.

State worker wins £500k in a decade of claims against her bosses...as wounded hero has to fight for just £46,000
By Paul Sims

One is a former equalities officer who has made complaints ranging from sexual harassment to victimisation.
The other is a hero soldier who was shot in Iraq.

Yet while Pauline Scanlon has been awarded £500,000 during a decade of successive claims for damages, Corporal Anthony Duncan is fighting to keep hold of £46,000 he received in compensation for his injuries.

Mrs Scanlon has won four separate payouts after accusing employers of discrimination or sexual harassment.
The 46-year-old, who now works for the Department for Work and Pensions, lodged her first complaint against public sector employers in 1995.

Her latest payout of £450,000 followed a claim she launched in 2005 but was only agreed last week after a series of appeals.
Meanwhile, Corporal Duncan, of the Light Dragoons, is facing legal action from the Government after it appealed against a decision to increase his compensation from £9,250.

In Mrs Scanlon’s latest settlement Redcar and Cleveland Council was told to pay her £442,466.38 after she complained of sex discrimination, victimisation and unfair dismissal.

The award includes more than £100,000 for loss of earnings, £155,000 for future loss of earnings, £87,000 pension loss, £21,000 injury to feelings and £20,000 in aggravated damages.

Mrs Scanlon, who lives in Saltburn, North Yorkshire, with her retired husband, joined the council in October 2002 as its £25,000 a year equalities officer.
Costly job: Redcar and Cleveland Council has been orderd to pay former employee Pauline Scanlon more than £440,000 in damages

Costly: Redcar and Cleveland Council has been orderd to pay former employee Pauline Scanlon more than £440,000 in damages

But she was sacked two years later for refusing to co-operate and for having a poor working relationship with colleagues.

She was accused of being an equalities ‘zealot’ and ‘unhelpful’.

In one incident, Mrs Scanlon was said to have complained about a colleague’s calendar which showed Robbie Williams with his trousers round his ankles.

Mrs Scanlon claimed it breached council policy relating to unwelcome sexual advances.

But she claimed she was only sacked after complaining that the council had breached its own policy by appointing a human resources manager without first advertising the post.

She told a tribunal that after submitting her complaint, her bosses carried out a campaign of harassment against her.

She was ‘excluded from meetings’ and her ‘efforts were undervalued’, she said.

After five years and various appeals, the original decision to award her £450,000 was upheld last week.

During her decade of claims Mrs Scanlon does not appear to have stayed in one job for more than 26 months. Her first payment came after she worked for Liverpool City Council as an estates action development officer from 1993 to 1995.

JEWS AGAIN SUFFER THE SLINGS AND ARROWS OF OUTRAGOUS FRAUD …..

Nu? So what else is new?  We all know Jews poison wells and even invented the common cold. Right?

Seriously, this kinda thing is maddening when you think about it.  The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is, among other things, getting some attention in a program being aired tonight.  Hard to believe sometimes that something so fraudulent and proven to be so, is being taught in muslim schools here in the UK. Or perhaps not so hard to believe considering it’s source. It isn’t bad enough I guess that so many are very liberal and very left and add to the enmity many already feel.  Now the damn protocols are being given life, if they ever ended, to open young minds who will absorb everything theyare told. And will believe.
It’ll never end. And worst of it is, there are plenty of liberal minded left wing Jews who stupidly help the very ppl who want to do away with them, and think of the many very conservative and right wings Jews as Fascists.  Of course, anybody Jew or not who doesn’t agree with left wing thought is a Nazi.  Right?

Now having said all that, I’m not certain I disapprove of some aspects of Sharia law. The treatment of thieves is appealing, I think. 

Sharia lessons for pupils aged six: BBC uncovers ‘weekend schools’ that teach pupils how to hack off thieves’ hands
By James Slack
· Pupils asked to list the ‘reprehensible’ qualities of Jews
· Around 5,000 children attend a network of 40 schools
· Diagrams show children how to hack off hands and feet

So-called ‘weekend schools’ for Muslim pupils as young as six also teach that the penalty for gay sex is execution and that ‘Zionists’ are plotting to take over the world for the Jews.
One set textbook challenges youngsters to list the ‘reprehensible’ qualities of Jews.
Another for six-year-olds asks them to answer what happens to someone who dies who is not a believer in Islam. The answer being looked for is ‘hellfire’.
A BBC Panorama investigation, to be screened tonight, identified a network of more than 40 weekend schools teaching around 5,000 children, from age six to 18.

The schools – which offer the hardline Saudi National Curriculum – are run under the umbrella of ‘Saudi Students Clubs and Schools in the UK and Ireland’.
They are not state-funded, and do not use Government buildings. They are able to exploit a loophole which means weekend schools are not inspected by Ofsted.
Last night, experts at the Policy Exchange think-tank warned that similar extremists could seek to exploit the Government’s policy of giving greater freedoms from state control to free schools and academies.

Clear message: Education Secretary Michael Gove has said he would not tolerate anti-Semitism and homophobia in English schools
They call for the establishment of a due diligence unit to check whether those applying to open the schools have an extremist background.
There are diagrams showing children where cuts must be made. One passage says: ‘The specified punishment of the thief is cutting off his right hand at the wrist. Then it is cauterised to prevent him from bleeding to death.’

The text books for 15-year-olds revive the so-called ‘Protocols of the Elders of Zion’, which teach that Zionists want to establish world domination for Jews.
The Saudi text books instruct pupils: ‘The Jews have tried to deny them (the Protocols) but there are many proofs of their veracity and their origin among the elders of Zion.’

The text books say the ‘main goal’ of the ‘Zionist movement’ is ‘for the Jews to have control over the world and its resources’ which, the book allege, Zionists seek to achieve partly by ‘inciting rancour and rivalry among the great powers so that they fight one another.’
Panorama separately claimed some Muslim private schools have expressed extreme sentiments on their school websites.

These include: ‘We need to defend our children from the forces of evil’, and ‘our children are exposed to a culture that is in opposition to almost everything Islam stands for’.

If they’re worried about western exposure on their children, then what in heaven’s name are they doing here in the west? Go away dick heads. Leave.
Nobody but the left will miss you. Go where you belong to begin with.  Ah right.  Little if any financial benefits. Talk outta turn and perhaps more then a hand might be lost.  Arranged weddings even under duress, filth and ignorance and dark age mentality. Go. You’ll fit right in seamlessly.

guys wife runs off with another man, comes back in 10 yrs to demand money and gets 2million

Another example of something that wasn’t intended to be my first posting of the day.  Caught this and thought Whoa!  How does someone even have the nerve to pull this one off. Greed I guess.  She left her husband when?  For another man? That long ago and now she’s back for money because first hubby suddenly came into a lot of money via a lottery.
OK, question of the day ....  Should he have her knee capped?  He has the cash now, surely he could find very reliable ppl to work things out.  Or ... well.  He’d pay that much and more in taxes anyway. Just doesn’t seem right.
You decide ...

£56m lottery winner ordered to pay £2m to ex-wife who left him for another man TEN YEARS ago

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 10:13 AM on 22nd November 2010

* Former wife is thought to have wanted £8million

A £56million lottery winner has been ordered to pay £2million to his ex-wife who walked out on him ten years ago.

Nigel Page, 44, was sued by his former wife Wendy shortly after his massive Euromillions windfall earlier this year even though she left him for another man.

The human resources director, 43, who is the mother of his 13-year-old daughter, is thought to have wanted £8million.

She received a lump sum of £2million in an out-of-court settlement, which she celebrated yesterday when she was spotted with a bottle of Champagne as she left her luxury Gloucestershire home with a mystery man.

Mr Page is believed to be the first lottery winner to be successfully sued by an ex-partner for a percentage of their winnings.

Despite his heartbreak when his wife walked out with his then-three-year-old daughter, Mr Page had decided to offer his ex £1million following his jackpot win in February.

But Wendy is believed to have instructed her lawyers to fight for up to £8million.

‘Nigel feels very hurt,’ a source told The Sun. ‘The last seven months have been horrendous for him. What Wendy has done has ruined everything…

‘Nigel has always provided for their daughter. Even when he was out of work he made sure she was all right. And right from the start Wendy was going to get a big gift.’

Wendy is also thought to have won a huge increase in maintenance payments for their daughter, up from £150 to £2,000 per month.

Legal experts today said it is likely the couple failed to include a legally-binding ‘clean break’ arrangement in their divorce settlement.

Should the clause have been included, Wendy would have been highly unlikely to have won her out-of-court settlement.

TSA Confiscates Nail Clippers From Soldiers Returning From Afghanistan. u couldn’t make it up.

Well, I hardly know what to make of this story.  If it isn’t a joke I know what Drew will say (almost) cos he’s already lost it on this subject.
So Drew, if you’re feeling ok and are on site, please.  Maybe a glass of wine before you read this.  Or something stronger. Right. Forget the wine.
A double shot of something strong and be sitting down.  Somehow, I’m doubtful this is a gag.  If it’s true it deserves an entire page of moonbats and nothing but the link to the story. 

Unbelievable.

So found myself at theodore’s world reading this.

H/T THEODORESWORLD

TSA Confiscates Nail Clippers From Soldiers Returning From Afghanistan

A friend of mine sent me this about his TSA experience. He, unlike most of us, was coming back into the country from Afghanistan on a military charter

As the Chalk Leader for my flight home from Afghanistan, I witnessed the following:

When we were on our way back from Afghanistan, we flew out of Baghram Air Field. We went through customs at BAF, full body scanners (no groping), had all of our bags searched, the whole nine yards.

Our first stop was Shannon, Ireland to refuel. After that, we had to stop at Indianapolis, Indiana to drop off about 100 folks from the Indiana National Guard. That’s where the stupid started.

First, everyone was forced to get off the plane–even though the plane wasn’t refueling again. All 330 people got off that plane, rather than let the 100 people from the ING get off. We were filed from the plane to a holding area. No vending machines, no means of escape. Only a male/female latrine.

It’s probably important to mention that we were ALL carrying weapons. Everyone was carrying an M4 Carbine (rifle) and some, like me, were also carrying an M9 pistol. Oh, and our gunners had M-240B machine guns. Of course, the weapons weren’t loaded. And we had been cleared of all ammo well before we even got to customs at Baghram, then AGAIN at customs.

The TSA personnel at the airport seriously considered making us unload all of the baggage from the SECURE cargo hold to have it reinspected. Keep in mind, this cargo had been unpacked, inspected piece by piece by U.S. Customs officials, resealed and had bomb-sniffing dogs give it a one-hour run through. After two hours of sitting in this holding area, the TSA decided not to reinspect our Cargo–just to inspect us again: Soldiers on the way home from war, who had already been inspected, reinspected and kept in a SECURE holding area for 2 hours. Ok, whatever. So we lined up to go through security AGAIN.

This is probably another good time to remind you all that all of us were carrying actual assault rifles, and some of us were also carrying pistols.

So we’re in line, going through one at a time. One of our Soldiers had his Gerber multi-tool. TSA confiscated it. Kind of ridiculous, but it gets better. A few minutes later, a guy empties his pockets and has a pair of nail clippers. Nail clippers. TSA informs the Soldier that they’re going to confiscate his nail clippers. The conversation went something like this:

TSA Guy: You can’t take those on the plane.

Soldier: What? I’ve had them since we left country.

TSA Guy: You’re not suppose to have them.

Soldier: Why?

TSA Guy: They can be used as a weapon.

Soldier: [touches butt stock of the rifle] But this actually is a weapon. And I’m allowed to take it on.

TSA Guy: Yeah but you can’t use it to take over the plane. You don’t have bullets.

Soldier: And I can take over the plane with nail clippers?

TSA Guy: [awkward silence]

Me: Dude, just give him your damn nail clippers so we can get the f**k out of here. I’ll buy you a new set.

Soldier: [hands nail clippers to TSA guy, makes it through security]

This might be a good time to remind everyone that approximately 233 people re-boarded that plane with assault rifles, pistols, and machine guns–but nothing that could have been used as a weapon.

Brits to take on pirates ?

I guess I’m just an old cynic.  On the surface I guess it looks ok.  I would also hope it could work. I just have my doubts that it will, for various reasons.
For example, what happens if, shudder, a pirate scum is killed?  Can you just imagine the human rights industry all up in arms over the violation of the rights of the poor boy.  Will an investigation be called for? An “inquiry” as they’re called.  I’m reminded of the circus made of the shooting by police of some wacked out drunk lawyer with a shotgun.  In the papers for weeks and all sorts of experts most who’ve prolly never been called to an armed situation or handled a gun, all wringing their hands saying it wasn’t necessary to shoot the poor man dead when they might have talked him out.  Of course the fact that the police spent many hours doing just that didn’t matter.  Then after it was all over and one or more of the cops made light of the death, oh the wailing and gnashing of teeth and tears and ... and .... and .... oh how the weepy left wished they could holler RACE!  But sadly for them, the loony tune was a Caucasian.  Still though, there were some who insisted that the police be disarmed.  Sure, only a tiny handful. But the fact they exist at all tells me how stupid some ppl are.

Hey, let me give you another example of just how lame-o some people can be.

Over several years a radical and violent group of animal rights activists were carrying out acts of terror against a company that performed medical experiments on animals.  Now I admit I hate the idea of that myself.  Be that as it may, this group set fires, made threatening calls, called neighbors of employees, even the janitors or anyone connected, claiming they were child rapists or at the least, abusers.  Then they threatened bombing the pubs that served the employees of the company AND .... they even dug up the remains of the grandmother of one of the principals of the company. It went on for years and the damage they caused was extensive.  They were finally caught, there was a trial (Why?) and jail terms passed out.
In an article today in the Daily Mail, an airhead named Liz Jones, who btw carries her love of animals to the extent of feeding rats in her barn on organic food,
allows the run of her house to four dogs who are not housebroken, and that’s only a beginning ....
Miss Jones today makes the claim that while she doesn’t support the extremes these folks went to, jailing them was unfair and that instead, they should be seen as the equivalent of the Suffragettes. She is a former magazine editor, is the fashion editor for the Mail and also writes a column in the Mail and the Mail’s magazine, You.  True, not everyone here is quite that screwy.  But there is a lot of hand wringing whenever the cops do their job correctly and lawfully.
So I can imagine the noise many will make if one or two pirates end up dead. 
And lets not bring up the law suits .... oh boy.

The Government is in secret talks to send taxpayer-funded British mercenaries to war torn Somalia to confront the pirates

By Jason Lewis, Investigations editor

A Sunday Telegraph investigation can reveal that senior Foreign Office officials have held detailed discussions with a British security firm employing former members of the Special Boat Service (SBS) about setting up and running the operation.

The controversial plan – indirectly funded with aid money from British taxpayers – will see the ex-special forces team sent to train Somali nationals to take on the pirates along the country’s lawless coastline.

The revelation comes days after the release of the Chandlers, from Tunbridge Wells, who were held hostage by Somali pirates for more than a year after being captured on their yacht while on a retirement sailing holiday.

Acting as “mentors” the ex-SBS men will be allowed to accompany the new crews on patrols going into action in armed encounters with the gangs.

The plan is particularly sensitive because previous attempts to train Somali military recruits have seen them swap sides and join the pirates or Islamic insurgents, taking their weapons and equipment with them.

Operating in fast boats capable of outrunning the pirates’ converted fishing vessels, the plan is to retake the coastline and prevent the pirates from putting to sea or returning to shore with kidnap victims.

The operation is seen as essential to protect shipping navigating off the Horn of Africa. Ships currently rely on protection from international naval vessels – including Royal Navy frigates – which are spread too thinly.

Piracy has become so commonplace that conveys of ships are asking for naval escorts through the area while some shipping firms are hiring armed guards to protect their vessels, crews and cargo.

So far this year there have been 164 piracy incidents, with 37 vessels hijacked, around 700 seafarers taken hostage and 12 people killed or injured.

The decision to call in ex-special forces soldiers earning up to £1,500-a-day is highly controversial.

the rest is here

do gooders in a nanny state. it’s for the kiddies

As an ex smoker (Luckies unfiltered, 2pks a day min.) I’m all for trying to educate young ppl about the dangers before they get hooked.  But I remember my young days and when I began at age 13.  The packaging had less to do with my starting then the fact that I grew up in an environment where everyone smoked and my mother did also.  Packing and advertising got me to try or to change brands after I was a confirmed addict. Not before.  And I’ve lost ppl close to me, due to smoking.  But if you’re gonna hide and or ban things that are fatal to people, then where will the line be drawn?  I believe the tobacco industry and smokers in general are just easy targets for health Nazis.  How about the labels on alcohol? How about some serious restrictions on booze? Why not?  Drink drivers kill more innocent people then drivers smoking. I don’t know the figures but surely alcohol has ruined as many lives as tobacco.  But that industry is not so easy a target.
And the idea that raising prices on either product will cure the problem is utter nonsense. 

We unhappily live in a nanny state world where strangers with the loudest voices hold sway and can alter personal behavior.  Now that might not be a bad thing if it had any effect whatever on things like crime, child abuse, drunks at the wheel, drugs and drug pushers.  btw, How long has the “War on Drugs” been going on?
Is MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers) any closer to a solution of that damnable problem? 

The idea (USA) of graphic photos on a cigarette pack is loathsome and stupid as well. It’s a legal product and if the state feels that strongly about it, then ban the product. See how far ya get.  No less stupid is this latest from the mommy country.

Cigarette packs wrapped in brown paper so as to make them less attractive to the young.
So tell me please.  Just how is crack and horse and mary jane wrapped?  And how come so many young become attracted to junk and decide to, “give it a try.”
Certainly can’t be the wrapper.

Not long ago in a conversation with an ivory tower prof and writer of white papers for govts., the subject of evil tobacco came up. I have no idea why or how. But he came up with the same old line I’ve read or heard a hundred times.  Smiling as though he’d just scored an original point, he informed us that he’d interviewed drug addicts and they told him that quitting heroin was easier then quitting cigarettes. Which shows he said, just how much more dangerous cigs are then heroin.
Of course, he’d never been a smoker himself.  But he bought the danger mantra like a fool.  I couldn’t believe this was a guy with an IQ off the scale, a person paid large sums for research and writing speeches for major politicians and white papers. 

OK so cigarettes are more dangerous. Right.
How many addicted smokers do you know off hand that rob , lie cheat and steal and even at times, kill for that smoke behind the barn?
How many burglaries or muggings are made to support a cigarette habit?
Jerk.

Cigarettes ‘may be sold in plain brown packs so they are less attractive to children’

Tobacco companies could be forced to sell cigarettes in plain packaging in an attempt to deter youngsters from taking up smoking.

By Rebecca Smith, Medical Editor

Ministers are considering switching all brand packs to a standard colour so brightly coloured packages will not lure prospective smokers from a young age.

Retailers will be initially be asked to cover up their displays of cigarettes so that children are not attracted by the packaging, but ministers want to examine the use of plain packets as well.

Ministers want to see if changing cigarette packet appearance could deter children from taking up smoking and support people who are trying to quit.

Plain packs would just show only basic information and health and picture warnings in order to break the ‘brand recognition’ and use of distinctive colours.

Health Secretary Andrew Lansley said: “We have to try new approaches and take decisions to benefit the population.

“That’s why I want to look at the idea of plain packaging. The evidence is clear that packaging helps to recruit smokers, so it makes sense to consider having less attractive packaging.

“It’s wrong that children are being attracted to smoke by glitzy designs on packets.

“We would prefer it if people did not smoke and adults will still be able to buy cigarettes, but children should be protected from the start.

“The levels of poor health and deaths from smoking are still far too high, and the cost to the NHS and the economy is vast. That money could be used to educate our children and treat cancer.

“We will shortly set out a radical new approach to public health in a White Paper. We want to go further and faster in improving the health of the nation based firmly on doing what the evidence tells us works.”

FOR THE REST

The levels of poor health and death from beatings and stabbings on the streets and in the home is also far too high.  But the papers report, unless they’re all telling lies, that violent criminals are out there having been freed early because the prisons are crowded.  The papers also report that a recent study claims that fully 51% of teen offenders re-offend and that prisons seem to have failed with them.  Indeed, many say jail is where they first experience three meals and a warm bed every day.  I wonder if they’re all smokers too.

TAKE YOUR INEGRATION AND SHOVE IT!

Had to take off Sat and booting very late today. Ran across this interesting piece at Europe News, who took it from The Gates of Vienna blog.

I won’t post much of it here cos it’s longish, the person interviewed isn’t very articulate, but I thought it would be interesting for our readers to see this mindset. Not that you weren’t aware for a very long time.  But you know how it is.  When those of us on the right talk about this subject in negative ways, we’re racists, or xenophobic or maybe Fascists.  And those would be the nice things.
Good to know from the horses mouth (or is that from the other end?) that we’ve been right all along.
But then ... you already knew that as well.

Here, take a look and be sure to check the link.

Who really wants integration?

Gates of Vienna

When discussing immigration in Western Europe these days, the big buzzword is “integration”. German Chancellor Angela Merkel recently convened an integration summit to discuss strategies to help Germany’s large Turkish minority to accommodate themselves to German society — and, coincidentally, to steal some of the thunder from Thilo Sarrazin, whose anti-immigration book has proved a huge popular success.

But what does “integration” mean for practical purposes? And the big question, which largely goes unasked: Is it really possible to integrate Europe’s huge Muslim population in any meaningful way?

An interview transcript from an October 29 program on Denmark Radio should give pause to anyone who still thinks “integration” is doable. The young woman interviewed for the program was born in Denmark, but she makes it quite clear that she has never integrated into Danish society, nor does she ever intend to do so.

Henrik Ræder Clausen sent the tip for this interview, and he included this comment:

We are discussing ghettos in the Danish media (mostly about knocking down high rise apartment blocks, unfortunately), and here is an interesting interview with a resident who has a whole new take on the issue. She feels safe because it’s an area for Arabs.

Many thanks to Anne-Kit of Perth, Australia, for translating this post from the Danish blog Uriasposten:

“New Dane” on National Radio: “You can’t force me to live with you, our ways of thinking are different”

This week Denmark’s State Radio is featuring “Ghetto” as a headline, Tuesday’s broadcast is worth a listen if you still think ghettos are about socio-economic issues. The interviewee was an 18-year-old girl from Gellerup [a culturally enriched suburb of Århus], born in Denmark but mentally “resident” in Lebanon, something which she didn’t see as a problem — indeed segregation seemed to be a goal in itself.

26/10/10 — “Apropos”, P1 — Ghetto and identity (interview with Iman Rabeh from Gellerupparken).

Mikkel Krause, P1: My guest is Iman Rabeh, who is 18 and has lived in Gellerupparken [an immigrant housing estate] her whole life. Tell me what you think it’s been like living in Gellerupparken.

Iman Rabeh, Gellerup: Well, Gellerupparken, it’s been my life, it’s been — all my friends, because everywhere in Gellerupparken there are both good memories and bad memories, but, you know, I can’t leave Gellerup.

Mikkel Krause: But what are the values in what we now call a ghetto, that are important to you?

Iman Rabeh: Well, the value is that community … that we all understand the same language, which we all speak, that we stick together, you know, my neighbor — all my neighbours are Arabs, and if they’re not Arabs then they are Lebanese, and if they’re not Lebanese then they are — we have that love for one another that you’re an Arab, I’m an Arab, we can talk with each other, we can discuss everything, we come from the other countries…

Mikkel Krause: But what does it mean to you, that you come from Gellerupparken specifically, you know, that you’re Iman from the ghetto rather than Iman from Vejlby or wherever else you might come from?

Iman Rabeh: Oh, it means everything! Because if I moved to a Danish area then it wouldn’t mean that much to me because one thing is that I know the language, but you know, Danes as such, they are not like us, they — in everything we have different customs, we have different — you know, we are different and have different ways of thinking.

Smokey this is not ‘Nam, this is bowling. There are rules.

Man cited for using stun gun, pepper spray on opposing bowlers

A league bowler went over the line when he used pepper spray on two opponents after zapping one of them with a stun gun, Lincoln police said.

The man accused of misdemeanor assault told police he was defending himself.

According to police reports, two teams were trash talking during a league match at Sun Valley Lanes on Thursday night.

“But everything was friendly,” one of the bowlers told police, according to the report.

Three of the team members walked outside and, they told police, were followed by opponent Matthew Lafon, 20. According to reports, Lafon and one of the team members, a 30-year-old man, were arguing face-to-face when Lafon pulled out an 80,000-volt stun gun and applied it to the man’s abdomen.

The man hit Lafon in the face and pushed him away. One of the other bowlers, 28, went to break up the confrontation and was pepper sprayed when Lafon pulled a canister from his pocket and aimed it at the man who pushed him.

Lafon drove home and was contacted by police at his apartment at 2820 Jameson North. According to police reports, he said he was “placed in fear of my safety” outside the bowling alley at 321 Victory Lane.

Police said he was the instigator and cited him for misdemeanor assault.

Under the Weather

I seem to be having a 24 hour bug. At least I hope it’s only 24 hours. Maybe I got a bit too much exposure to the paint fumes or the dust yesterday, but I’ve been coughing like mad all day long. Probably running a fever too. If it’s still with me in the morning, then I’m heading to the doctor’s. Dose me up now, so I have a week to recover before Thanksgiving.

So that means I couldn’t put much time into this week’s Weekend WhatsIt.  So here are two pretty weak entries.

This looks pretty alien to me. I can see a herd of them skimming over the marshes on a dark and foggy night, eerily reaching their sticky fronds into the water to pull out something gross for dinnner.



This one should be a snap for our older readers, but perhaps a real WTH for the younger set. Long before LOST was ever even an idea, much less a TV show, these were the original numbers. The font will be familiar to anyone who ever took a class in mechanical (ie technical or engineering) drawing. Where are they from? Why is there an extra 8?

Ok, back to bed with me.




PS - hard to believe, but I’ve never actually read the Taibbi essay on Goldman Sachs from Rolling Stone the summer before last. I hear it’s the only thing ever intelligently written in the entire history of that magazine. worth a read? I know I’m a bit concerned about the depth of that company’s involvement with the top of our government, and that robobears QE2 cartoon earlier this week with “the bernanck” got me to thinking about them once again.

UPDATE: AG Tiger got the second one. These are the elements from a nixie tube. Before there were LED displays, there were these wonderful little glass tubes with numbers (and sometimes letters) inside that lit up. Here’s a bit of elegance that uses them:

Isn’t that gorgeous? It’s a clock. And it’s reasonably accurate to within 3 seconds per week. And it has anti-poisoning circuitry!! Expensive, but you could make your own. Lots of soldering involved, and some skillful joinery to make the case and machine the top plate. If steampunk were real, and had a Master’s degree or two, this is what it would look like.

Some touching junk about touching some junk

You have to search for the terrorists. Fortunately, that’s the one advantage we have in this war. In a lucky stroke, all the terrorists are swarthy, foreign-born, Muslim males. (Think: “Guys Madonna would date.")

This would give us a major leg up—if only the country weren’t insane.

Is there any question that we’d be looking for Swedes if the 9/11 terrorists, the shoe bomber, the diaper bomber and the printer cartridge bomber had all been Swedish? If the Irish Republican Army were bombing our planes, wouldn’t we be looking for people with Irish surnames and an Irish appearance?

“Please have your genitalia out and ready to be fondled when you approach the security checkpoint.”

This is the punishment for refusing the nude body scan for passengers who don’t want to appear nude on live video or are worried about the skin cancer risk of the machines—risks acknowledged by the very Johns Hopkins study touted by the government.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that we need to keep the government as far away from airport security as possible, and not only because Janet Napolitano did her graduate work in North Korea.

Dear foreigners reading this blog: NOW do you get it? No search without a warrant, period. And a warrant based on probable cause, not generic suspicion. Right of personal privacy, period. We don’t give in to this because “it makes us safer”. It doesn’t. It’s a sham, driven by political correctness and willful blindness. YOU give in to this because your life sucks that you aren’t an American; you don’t know any better and you don’t have ANY rights. Except what your socialist-Marxist government decides what you can have. Today. But maybe not tomorrow.

SOME CHINA DOLLS AS FRIDAY NIGHT EYE DELIGHT,

Gotta be outta here very soon, but not before I post this.

It wasn’t planned, but something Drew asked yesterday with regard to a Chinese cheerleading squad got me to thinking.  Drew asked if that was the best they could do and I agreed cos I know they could have. Maybe they aren’t as selective (the ladies would say shallow) as western men are when girl watching.

I’ve always been mad for women from that part of the world. Especially Korea,Japan and China.  And btw, the girls from the Philippines are quite stunning as well. However, you must be VERY careful as some of their men are too. lol.

Then a subject came up in one word, Yemen, and I suddenly realized I didn’t know they had women in Yemen. But they do. Simply amazing. Look.

Hey ... I guess if you’re a male in that part of the world, this is hot stuff.

And that brings me to a few photos I glommed from the net.  Given more time and feeling any better I think I could have done more but these will do for now. I hope. I think they’re charming, and a whole lot more. 

Indian women are pretty hot too. Almost forgot.
ok, that’s it. I’m gone.
Have a great wkend all.

A Star Trek-style device that allows people to disappear.

How’s this for an eye opener? 

Not up to much today, but don’t want to ignore this one. Think of the possibilities.

Star Trek-style cloaking device comes a step nearer

A Star Trek-style device that allows people to disappear and then – in a blink of an eye – reappear in a different location is a step closer to reality, claim British scientists.

By Richard Alleyne, Science Correspondent

The physicists claim they have proved that it is possible to manipulate space and time so that whole events are hidden from view.

That means eventually that someone could be made to look like they jump from one location to the next – with the journey in-between rendered invisible to the naked eye.

The “space time cloak” uses physics to manipulate light so that “events” in real life are cut just like an editor can cut scenes from a reel of film.

The device sounds like the stuff of fantasy, but scientists at Imperial College London have proved it could work in theory – at least in terms of very short bursts of time.

As well as being a sci-fi fan’s dream, they believe the idea could also be used to make faster and more powerful computers.

Professor Martin McCall, the lead scientist, said that the technique worked by dividing up rays of light that are heading towards the eye.

By speeding up the front part of the ray and then slowing down the rear, you can create a gap which could be filled with an event or action.

Then by reversing the speeds the gap could be closed again before the light reaches the observer making it look nothing has happened.

At the moment it should be possible to cut two thousandth of a millionth of second from time but in future seconds or even minutes could be cut.

“Imagine a camera that is on a time delay watching a safe,” said Prof McCall. “If a thief opens the safe, steals the money and locks it again in between the pictures being taken it will appear as if nothing has happened.

“We have shown that by manipulating the way the light illuminating an event reaches the viewer, it is possible to hide the passage of time in the same way.

“If you had someone moving along the corridor, it would appear to a distant observer as if they had relocated instantaneously, creating the illusion of a Star Trek transporter.

“So, theoretically, this person might be able to do something and you wouldn’t notice.”

In previous experiments to create “invisibility cloaks” scientists have shown that light can be curled around objects to make them seem invisible.

The teleporters used in Star Trek are said to have been based on the idea of “quantum entanglement” in an object or person is broken down into photons of light or atoms, transported and then re-materialised in a different place.

This new technology would not actually transport anyone just hide their journey.

Researcher Alberto Favaro said: “It is unlike ordinary cloaking devices because it does not attempt to divert light around an object.

french police chased by squatters, or muslim squatters?  hard to tell except who owns the streets

I happened on this from EuropeNews, the clip isn’t the best and too much is shot at waist level. Let it play out, even though the beginning might not grab ya.
I guess I can understand why the cop didn’t shoot dead that negro with the bat. Paperwork and riots etc. I would have. You’ll see what I mean.
The headline said French police chased from Muslim zone, but it mentions squatters and I didn’t see anything here that looked muslim like. What I mean is, the dirty looking beards and silly little caps. But then again, the video is far from perfect.

Seems like the cops and the law abiding lost the streets a long time ago.  Thank libtards for that.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
