wake up america.

I am aware that every country of any consequence will spend monies promoting themselves to other countries.  Nothing sinister about that. Heck, we do it and have been for a very long time.
But there is I think, a difference between that, and the following article.  I make no claim to rocket science friends.  I’m no more well read then most and no less so. But I have been somewhat concerned over much time, about influence from foreign quarters and especially from the EU.  If you’ve been here long, you’ve already seen what I’ve had to say and what my concerns are.  And ok, I admit it cos I can’t hide it. I’ve become somewhat paranoid on the subject of America becoming more left, more socialist and closer to European thinking. And if you believe there isn’t much to worry about, then you are asleep.

You might find the comments online after the article of some interest.  Seems there are a number of Brits who are concerned as well.  Many of them have fears of becoming so integrated within the Eu that they will lose their country entirely.  They are right to worry and the clock is ticking.
For us as well.

More than £3million has been funnelled to American universities to promote the benefits of European integration

In US dollars the figure below would be $32,912,986 at the current rate of exchange.

How EU spends £20m a year promoting left-wing causes in the U.S.

By TIM SHIPMAN

Brussels is pouring nearly £20million a year from its human rights budget on lecturing the Americans on left-wing causes.

The EU Human Rights Fund is intended to help promote Western values in the developing world. But a shock report has found at least £17million of cash – around £2million from British taxpayers’ – has been ploughed into promoting the pet causes of Eurocrats in the U.S.
It is being spent on promoting abolition of the death penalty, discussion of climate change, green energy, and the International Criminal Court – all controversial subjects in the U.S.

The study by the Heritage Foundation, a centre-right Washington think-tank, found a further £4million has been ploughed into pro-EU propaganda in the U.S., including funds for advertising and publicity material.

More than £3million has been funnelled to American universities to promote the benefits of European integration and a further £3million to think-tanks who want to study EU affairs.

The European Commission’s own accounts show millions have also been paid to unnamed individual opinion formers in the U.S.

The report’s British author Sally McNamara said: ‘It is impossible to justify EU human rights budgets being spent in one of the world’s freest nations.’
Tory MP Douglas Carswell said: ‘The U.S. was founded by North Americans fed up with Europeans interfering in its internal affairs.

‘The U.S. as a country has done more to bring liberty and human rights to the world than anyone in Europe. They don’t need any lessons from Brussels.’
Stephen Booth, research director of the Open Europe think tank said: ‘The EU has absolutely no mandate to wade in to politically sensitive debates in the U.S.’

Parliamentary gagging order Ukrainian style: Speaker grabs his deputy in death grip during debate row

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Last updated at 2:19 PM on 23rd May 2011

Vice speaker of the Ukrainian parliament Adam Martynyuk was recorded on camera as he grabbed a colleague by the throat and slammed him into the ground with a ‘death grip’ wrestling move.

Martynyuk had been presiding over a legislative session in a chamber of the Ukrainian parliament in Kiev on Wednesday when tempers flared.

The usually dull proceedings were disrupted when Martynyuk’s deputy Oleg Lyashko asked to make a speech but was refused. He then reportedly called Martynyuk a ‘Pharisee’.

Martynyuk leapt to his feet and lunged at his deputy.

In what appears to be an expert self-defence move, the speaker pinched the deputy’s throat in a ‘death grip’ while jamming two fingers into his temple.

He then overpowers the man who is thrown to the ground after toppling over a wooden stand.

But still visibly irritated, Lyashko gets up from the floor and the pair square up and push each other.

I never thought I’d be defending Sharia and Iran

Well here is a first.

Me .... jdp ... Peiper ... I’m upset that Iran is caving in to foreign influence. Me? Defend Iran and Sharia Law?

YES ...  And here’s why. First, if amnasty is against something I have to be for it, selectively. If liberal weepy eyed bed wetting hand wringers are upset, I have to be in favor of whatever it is they’re hearts are bleeding about.

Take a look at this story .... I’m tempted to write the Iranian Embassy and tell em to stay the course and ignore the critics. But I doubt they’d pay any attention.

Fury at Iran’s ‘eye-for-an-eye’ acid punishment as sentence is branded ‘cruel and inhumane’

By MAIL ON SUNDAY REPORTER

A punishment in which an Iranian man was to be blinded by having acid dropped into his eyes has been postponed after international condemnation.
Majid Movahedi was convicted and sentenced for pouring a bucket of acid over Ameneh Bahrami after she rejected his marriage proposals.
The attack left her blind and severely disfigured.

The court-ordered retribution was due to have been carried out yesterday in Tehran.

But it is understood the authorities in the Iranian capital decided to postpone the punishment, which is allowed under Sharia law if the victim requests it, because of national and international disquiet including concerns raised by the British Government.

Yesterday Ms Bahrami told Al Jazeera, the Qatar-based news service: ‘I was very happy that this was going to end today.
‘And yes, I was going to carry out the punishment myself, but I was afraid that I would get acid on my hands, so a doctor was going to do it. It’s been six years that I’ve been waiting. The verdict is completely legal.’

On November 3, 2004, Movahedi poured a bucket of acid on Ms Bahrami’s head as she was leaving work, after she had rejected his marriage proposal several times.
Two weeks after the attack Movahedi surrendered himself to the police.
He admitted attacking Ms Bahrami and his punishment was ordered by a court in 2008.

Among those unhappy about the prospect of Ms Bahrami exacting such a brutal revenge on her attacker was Amnesty International.
The organisation called for a stay of the sentence, which it described as ‘cruel and inhuman . . . amounting to torture’.
‘The Iranian authorities have a responsibility under international law to ensure it does not go ahead,’ it added.

Ms Bahrami, who was 24 when she met Movahedi in 2002, now lives in Spain where she has been undergoing medical treatment. She is blind in both eyes and still has serious injuries to her face and body.

I JUST CAN NOT BRING MYSELF TO POST THE HORRIFIC PHOTO HERE AT BMEWS. CLICK THIS LINK TO UNDERSTAND

WTF is wrong with people? Why is this the freekin business of the Brit govt., who can’t even protect their own god damn citizens here at home?
And as for amnasty ... well. I believe you all know what I think and what I’d dearly love to see happen.

Quite frankly ... I do not believe that how a govt. handles their internal problems is anyones business outside the country involved. So long as their problem doesn’t inflict harm or is a threat to the security of others, it is not the business of others to stick their nose where it does not belong.
I can’t be pissed off at foreigners and amnasty when they insist we close Guantanamo, and at the same time approve we do the same to others.
The miserable shit in this story deserves the worst and his punishment should go ahead as planned.  I’m disappointed in Iran, and never thought I’d be writing anything on their behalf. Not that they asked.  But I feel sorry for the woman here, and that’s my focus.

flying the flag of the eu …….. or maybe not

H/T Robert Forsyth, Daily Mail

A SIGN OF FLAGGING SUPPORT FOR THE EU ?

How absurd can the EU bureaucracy be? They have decided to hold Europe Week starting tomorrow. Monday.

The powers that be in Brussels want all British govt. departments to fly the EU flag on Europe Day tomorrow.

However, conservative ministers who can’t do much about the powers of the EU because of the coalition, are revelling in a small act of rebellion by refusing to do so.

There will be no blue flag fluttering over Downing Street, the Home Office and a slew of other govt. departments. Not even the Foreign Office, a dept. that usually won’t say boo to Brussels.

There is one dept. that will be hoisting the flag and that is the Department for Communities and Local Govt.  They administer an EU program so they must fly the EU flag or risk a fine. And here’s where things really get Stuck on Stupid.

They MUST take a photo of the flag flying outside their building then send it to the Brussels bureaucrat who monitors compliance with the event.

I couldn’t dream this up.

just what europe needs right now. more muz. refugees/immigrants

No big surprise that the refugees from Tunisia are flooding Italy, and very soon now other places in Europe. And especially worrying, the UK.
And apparently Germany is very worried and is tightening border controls.
Italy looks to be opening the flood gates to a refugee tsunami, and the Germans are not best pleased.

Some politicians (German) are understandably concerned while a Catholic spokesman for the church stupidly can not see the difference between the refugees at the end of WW2, and this latest flood of humanity (?) that will eventually turn Europe into another ‘dark continent.’ And possibly a muslim one at that.

Berlusconi really surprises me with his liberal attitude on the subject.  Saying that however, I do understand the Italian problem.  The island the darkies are over running, now total more of them (think in terms of an ant swarm) then actual natives (Italian) who live there. And the natives have demanded immediate action be taken to relieve the problem.

If the govt. empties the island quickly, they leave space for even more unsuitable sub-species invasion. 

H/T Deutsche Welle and Europe News

Germany tells Italy to ‘solve its own problems’ in Tunisian refugee row

Boatloads of migrants continue to arrive on Lampedusa

German officials have raised the possibility of reinstating border controls after Italy said it would provide thousands of Tunisian refugees with temporary travel visas allowing them to enter many European countries.

Germany sharply rebuked Italy over the weekend over its decision to grant thousands of Tunisian economic migrants temporary travel visas, allowing them to leave Italy for other European countries in the border-free Schengen Area.

Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich told the Monday edition of newspaper Welt that Italy had to “regulate its own problems” and not force them on other countries.

Together with Cyprus and Malta, which have also been inundated by the recent wave of North African migrants fleeing instability in the region, Italy wants to activate a clause in EU law dating back to 2001 that would see the refugee burden shared among the EU member states.

As it stands, refugees must remain in the European country of their arrival while their claims for asylum are being processed. Some 25,000 North African refugees have landed on the Italian island of Lampedusa, located between Sicily and Tunisia, since the start of this year.

But Friedrich argued against using the clause, which he said was originally created to accommodate the influx of migrants in the wake of conflict in the former Yugoslavia.

Border control threat

Hans-Peter Friedrich wants Italy to accommodate the thousands of refugees
Meanwhile, the interior minister of the southern German state of Bavaria, Joachim Herrmann, has said border controls on the German-Austrian border could be reinstated in a last-ditch effort to prevent the migrants from entering Germany.

In an interview with newspaper Welt am Sonntag, Herrmann called on Italy to get its house in order without resorting to issuing temporary visas.

“We will not accept that the Italian government simply declares that the Tunisian migrants are tourists and uses this to push them into other countries,” he said.

Herrmann conceded that the move would impact relations between Italy and Germany, and called for a common EU stance on economic migration.

“They must be sent back to their homelands,” Herrmann added.

Boris Rhein, Herrmann’s counterpart in the neighboring state of Hesse, told Welt that if Italy went ahead with issuing the temporary visas, “it would be necessary to consider whether the [visa-free travel] Schengen Area should be temporarily abolished in Germany.”

Germany admonished

Berlusconi wants EU countries to help with the refugee burden
As German politicians criticized Rome over its refugee policy, a top official with the Catholic Church has slammed Germany’s refusal to take in some of the thousands of Tunisian migrants currently in Italy.

“I’m astonished by the position of closure adopted by my country,” German-born Cardinal Walter Kasper said in an interview with Turin-based daily La Stampa on Sunday.

“I grew up in a Germany destroyed by the [Second World] War, but which still knew how to welcome masses of displaced persons and to give a home to entire populations who were fleeing from misery and despair,” the 78-year-old Kasper said.

Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi commented this week when visiting Lampedusa that the refugee crisis was akin to a “human tsunami” and called on the EU for assistance.

“Either Europe is something real and concrete, or it is nothing,” Berlusconi said. “If the latter is the case, it would be better if we all went out own ways and each determined our own politics and allowed selfishness to follow.”

Who’s in charge?Germans pull forces out of NATO, right.both ovem. who’s on first?

What do I say about this turn of events?

Perhaps the question should be ... what do you folks say?  Anyone surprised? Didn’t think so.

If Gaddafi was able to read this, he’d think he was at war with the Keystone Cops. Or The Marx Bros. Maybe both.

Who’s in charge? Germans pull forces out of NATO as Libyan coalition falls apart
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

* Tensions with Britain as Gates rebukes UK government over suggestion Gaddafi could be assassinated

* French propose a new political ‘committee’ to oversee operations

* Germany pulls equipment out of NATO coalition over disagreement over campaign’s direction

* Italians accuse French of backing NATO in exchange for oil contracts

* No-fly zone called into question after first wave of strikes ‘neutralises’ Libyan military machine

* U.K. ministers say war could last ‘30 years’

* Italy to ‘take back control’ of bases used by allies unless NATO leadership put in charge of the mission

* Russians tell U.S. to stop bombing in order to protect civilians - calls bombing a ‘crusade’

* Deep divisions between allied forces currently bombing Libya worsened today as the German military announced it was pulling forces out of NATO over continued disagreement on who will lead the campaign.

A German military spokesman said it was recalling two frigates and AWACS surveillance plane crews from the Mediterranean, after fears they would be drawn into the conflict if NATO takes over control from the U.S.

The infighting comes as a heated meeting of NATO ambassadors yesterday failed to resolve whether the 28-nation alliance should run the operation to enforce a U.N.-mandated no-fly zone, diplomats said.

Yesterday a war of words erupted between the U.S. and Britain after the U.K. government claimed Muammar Gaddafi is a legitimate target for assassination.

U.K. government officials said killing the Libyan leader would be legal if it prevented civilian deaths as laid out in a U.N. resolution.

But U.S. defence secretary Robert Gates hit back at the suggestion, saying it would be ‘unwise’ to target the Libyan leader adding cryptically that the bombing campaign should stick to the ‘U.N. mandate’.

President Barack Obama, seeking to avoid getting bogged down in a war in another Muslim country, said on Monday Washington would cede control of operations against Muammar Gaddafi’s forces within days, handing the reins over to NATO.

But Germany and European allies remain unwilling to have NATO take on a military operation that theoretically has nothing to do with the defence of Europe.

Today the German defence ministry announced Berlin had pulled out of any military operations in the Mediterranean.

A ministry spokesman said two frigates and two other ships with a crew of 550 would be reverted to German command.

Some 60 to 70 German troops participating in NATO-operated AWACS surveillance operations in the Mediterranean would also be withdrawn, according to the ministry.

Berlin isn’t participating in the operation to impose a no-fly zone in Libya and abstained on the U.N. resolution authorising it.

In a shock admission, U.K. ministers have admitted the intervention in Libya could last for up to ‘30 years’.

Asked for an estimate, British Armed Forces Minister Nick Harvey said: ‘How long is a piece of string? We don’t know how long this is going to go on.

‘We don’t know if this is going to result in a stalemate. We don’t know if his capabilities are going to be degraded quickly. Ask me again in a week.’

In the U.S., Obama has made it clear he wants no part of any leadership role in Libya.

The President has already been criticised for continuing with a tour of Latin America as the military operation over Libya began. And yesterday he insisted again that while Gaddafi must go, the U.S. is not prepared to remove him by force, but merely to enforce the no-fly zone.

Even that hesitant stance, which has already earned him the title of the Great Vacillator, left him criticised for not seeking proper approval from Congress before sending the American military in.

And after reports emerged that Gaddafi’s son had been killed in a kamikaze strike yesterday, fresh questions over what exactly the U.S. intends to achieve in Libya emerged.

With Turkey digging its heels in and the Arab League suspicious, it has been pointed out that Mr Obama has fewer coalition partners in Libya than George Bush did at the start of the Iraq war.

He was criticised by both Republicans and Democrats over his decision to commit the U.S. military before going to Congress.

the eu is already in america. and i told you long ago it was coming

How long have I been ranting and fussing and swearing about the freekin EU and possible left wing BS from outside the USA?  Like we don’t have enough inside already.

I’m not an overly brilliant person. Hell, I’m barely smart. This ain’t rocket science we’re talkin’ folks.  It’s simply that being so much closer to things and reading and seeing the way things fall, well hell. You’d have to be asleep or blind to miss it. And I’m not blind and I have insomnia so I’m awake. Well, most of the time anyway.

So there I was looking for some information on the subject, and as usual having a hard time, when I found this maddening thing and it pisses me off.
We do not need this very unattractive, chinless wonder of the left, lecturing the USA on “rights” or for that matter, on anything else.

What?  She hasn’t enough to do with her cushy un-elected job at the hated EU?
Actually, she probably doesn’t.  But they make jobs for ppl and they in turn make pots of cash and get cars and drivers and are treated like potentates from another age.
That’s fine as long as they keep their God damned jobs worth, do-goodisms and egos on the side of the pond farthest from the United States.  But no … they don’t really have enough to do over here, so the fuck heads have to get involved in MY country.
And that does piss me off to a very great degree. How much pissed off? Let me put it this way.  If I were home and armed and met one of these pissants, I might be in jail but one of those shits would be graveyard dead! Their death rattle would be music to my ears. Like a symphony in fact.  That’s a lot of hate, but it isn’t misdirected or false because damn it, I have worried about these pin heads peddling their influence and their left wing doctrines in USA and am always banging on about “SOVEREIGNTY.”

Aren’t there any patriots left anywhere that will tell these bastards to fuck off or die?
Can’t we find a way to make it so dangerous for them that they will just shut the hell up and stay the hell out of our internal affairs?  There is one way ya know.  Get their families. That’d work.  Extreme?  Why?  Nothing in defense of our country is extreme these days. It isn’t just militant islam that’s our enemy. It’s these twerps as well. In their own way, they are just as much a threat as muslims.

Read this and tell me if the M****rF****rs are not interfering in our affairs. 

fewer and fewer Americans take Europe seriously.

Well Americans better wake the fuck up and take those shit-heads VERY seriously.

American sovereignty can not be taken for granted.  Unless what you want for the USA, is what folks have here.  If that’s the case, then simply paste “What? Me worry?” stickers on your forehead and EU commissars will be most thrilled to oblige. Sure thing. Go ahead. Kiss sovereignty goodbye and you too can become peons of Europe.  Meanwhile BMEWS readers in America, this is how it starts.
This is just the beginning. A toe in you might say.  Stay Tuned. There will be more. Count on it.

Unelected EU apparatchik Baroness Ashton lectures America on ‘human rights’
By Nile Gardiner World

A couple of weeks back I wrote a post revealing that the EU has been giving millions of euros to anti-death penalty groups in the United States. As The Wall Street Journal subsequently commented in an editorial on my Telegraph piece:
European countries may need bailing out, but you’ll be pleased to know that the European Union has enough money to promote human rights and democracy—in America. Don’t laugh.

American states are free to decide their own penal codes, which vary widely and change as facts and public values evolve. Europe won’t allow such a debate at home but feels the moral afflatus to tax its own citizens to promote one side of the argument in America. Europe can’t find the money to pay for its fair share of NATO but it can spare a dime to hector its main defense benefactor on criminal law. This is why fewer and fewer Americans take Europe seriously.
One of those US groups that receives EU funding is the Illinois branch of the Death Penalty Information Center, which was given €193,443 in 2009 for a grant “changing the course of the death penalty debate” (hat tip: Sally McNamara). Illinois abolished the death penalty last week, making it one of 16 states in America that ban the practice, in contrast to 34 states that retain it. Needless to say, the EU’s foreign policy chief Baroness Ashton immediately used the occasion to lecture the United States on “the progressive development of human rights”, declaring in a March 11 statement:
The European Union congratulates the Governor and the Illinois State Legislature on this historic decision, making Illinois the 16th state in the United States to end the death penalty.

The European Union strongly hopes that this decision will encourage other US States to follow suit in joining the growing national and worldwide movement towards the abolition of the use of capital punishment.

The European Union considers that the abolition of the death penalty contributes to the enhancement of human dignity and the progressive development of human rights. The European Union reaffirms its objective of working towards the universal abolition of the death penalty.

It should of course come as no surprise that the European Union, which has zero respect for the sovereignty of its own member states, seeks to meddle in the affairs of a great democracy such as the United States. Baroness Ashton clearly has a greater interest in hectoring the American people than she does in condemning the brutal rule of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.

The EU chief’s condescending statement is a reflection of a warped world view in Brussels that treats the United States as though it were a third world tyranny in need of enlightened guidance from Europe. After all, the EU’s Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights, which gave nearly a million dollars to the American Bar Association for its anti-death penalty campaign, is dedicated to “enhancing respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in countries and regions where they are most at risk.”

One of many glaring differences between the European Union and the United States is that US officials are accountable to the American people, whose laws are drafted by elected representatives in line with a Constitution that actually protects individual liberty rather than usurps it. The EU’s sneering at America’s stance on the death penalty is merely the latest reflection of Brussels’ contempt for democracy, national sovereignty, and political accountability.

If unelected apparatchiks such as Baroness Ashton really care about human rights perhaps they should spend a bit more time examining the lack of political freedom that exists within the European Union itself.

Law in Austria: Guilty for Questioning Islam.  This is now the way of our world. Sucks!

I am beginning to think I need to learn how to write articulate and literate editorials, because there’s so much I’d like to say about this story and can not find the correct words.

All I can come up with is ....

Shame on Austria!

OK, it isn’t Mark Steyn but it is articulate enough. I suppose. This is what Europe has come to. Austria for certain.

Law in Austria: Guilty for Questioning Islam

By A. Millar

The European “elite” has increasingly asserted that any questioning of Islam is criminal. A few weeks ago Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff was fined 480 Euros for the “denigration of religious teachings of a legally recognized religion in Austria.” In a three-part seminar Mrs. Sabaditsch-Wolff had referred to Islam’s prophet Mohammed’s marriage to Aisha. According to generally-accepted Islamic textual tradition, Aisha was six at the time of the marriage, which was consummated when she was nine. Mrs. Sabaditsch-Wolff asked rhetorically “if this does not constitute pedophilia, what does?”

Defending the doctrines, beliefs, and figures of various “legally recognized” religions is liable to have unanticipated consequences. As Mrs. Sabaditsch-Wolff observes, “the judge didn’t deny that Mohammed had sex with a nine year old. It is actually now proven in court that Mohammed had sex with a nine year-old.” However, she says, “it’s just that I am not allowed to say that he was a pedophile.” Mrs. Sabaditsch-Wolff is not allowed to, because, in the words of the judge, as she passed sentence, “pedophilia is a sexual preference which solely or mainly is directed towards children. Nevertheless, it does not apply to Mohammad. He was still married to Aisha when she was 18.”

The fine – representing a sentence of 120 days – is deceptively low. It was reduced to the minimum allowed to take into account that Mrs. Sabaditsch-Wolff has no income. It is usually waived for first time offenders, however, the presiding judge claimed Mrs. Sabaditsch-Wolff was a “repeat offender” because she had, in her judgment, referred to Mohammed being a pedophile more than once. (...)

If this happens, a court in Austria will have set a precedent for the EU, and perhaps eventually even for the US: Question Islam, and you will be hauled into court, tried, and convicted.

apparently one your “human rights” is to not pay your rent if we follow the european court

Well how’s this for some nerve. And the woman is only 23 but .... I guess she’s entitled.

You’ll recall a story last week about squatters. This is only different because she isn’t a foreigner. BUT ... ah. There’s always a BUT. Isn’t there?
The foreigner in these cases is a court sitting outside this country.  The Conservatives here are trying to undo things but (again) it is gonna be an uphill struggle.

Once you compromise on your sovereignty for any reason whatever, it’s all downhill from there.  Thank heaven and Misters Smith & Wesson and Colt that when it’s Americas turn, we’ll have more then words to fire back at those who will try and compromise our sovereignty. And if you don’t believe it’s in the process now, then you’ve been asleep for awhile. Wake Up! 

I borrowed this cartoon from Vilmar’s site cos it sure fit our story here.

Woman on benefits owing £3,500 rent can’t be evicted: New European human rights ruling could lead to thousands of tenants refusing to pay
By James Slack

Evicting a woman from her council home for failing to pay rent would breach her human rights, judges ruled yesterday.
Town Hall chiefs wanted to evict Rebecca Powell, who receives thousands of pounds in benefits, after she ran up more than £3,500 in arrears on the accommodation she was given because she was homeless.

But the Supreme Court said that – under the controversial European Convention on Human Rights – this would be a breach of the right to ‘respect for a person’s home’.

Council leaders and the Government had fought the case and fear it may now be harder to evict thousands of council tenants who fall into arrears.
Legal experts said there was an increasing ‘trend’ for tenants – including ‘neighbours from hell’ – to use human rights law to thwart eviction.

Passing yesterday’s judgment, Lord Hope made it clear the ruling had its origins in Strasbourg. He said the ‘time had come to accept and apply the jurisprudence of the European court’.

The ruling brought fresh demands for reform of Labour’s Human Rights Act, which enshrines the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law, and of the unelected Strasbourg court.

It comes in the wake of cases saying that prisoners must be entitled to vote and that paedophiles can apply to be taken off the Sex Offender Register.
Last night Tory MP Philip Davies said: ‘It seems to me that the courts always find in favour of the human rights of people who are doing something wrong. We have got to change that balance, it is getting completely out of hand.

‘What about the human rights of the landlord to get their rent, what about the human rights of the taxpayer?’
Miss Powell, now 23, was given a home in Cranford, West London, by Hounslow Council in April 2007. By June the following year Miss Powell, who lives with her partner and four children, owed the council more than £3,500.

She was entitled to around £15,000 a year in housing benefit which could have covered the payments, but had not applied for it properly.
Eviction proceedings began but were halted when Miss Powell appealed under the Human Rights Act. At one stage the council moved the family out in order to renovate the home at taxpayers’ expense, then moved them back in.

Yesterday, Lord Hope and Lord Phillips ruled that the council had not considered whether it was ‘proportionate’ to evict Miss Powell and ordered that the eviction be quashed.

Hounslow Council, anticipating defeat, has offered her ‘suitable alternative accommodation’ and she has never been without a home.
Judges will have to consider the ruling when looking at similar cases involving people who would otherwise be homeless.
Miss Powell has agreed to clear her arrears of £3,536.39 at £5 per week, or sooner if she can.

can a judge have actually said this?  read on.

Well now, this is a theory I’ve never run across before. But leave it to a lawyer’s brain to split the hairs.

So then .. if you sexuality assault a child but still like older women as well, you are not strictly speaking a pedophile. Huh?  Do you read it this way as well?
I wonder if somehow something got lost in translation because even in this upside down ludicrous world, that does not make any sense.
See G of V for more on the subject.
Oh, and here’s a thought someone else raised in conversation a while ago.

In the days of Mohamed, and not just him, would child sex have been the norm? And not just with islamics. Since life ended fairly early, would it not have begun early as well?  I never thought about that before someone asked it.

Press Release on the Scandalous Judgment Against Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff

Gemmingen, February 15, 2011

On February 15, 2011, Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff was sentenced to a fine of €480 for “denigration of religious doctrines” by Judge Bettina Neubauer in the Vienna Regional Court. She was acquitted of the original charge of ethnic incitement.

The court based “denigration of religious doctrines” on the fact that Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff had characterized Mohammed as “pedophiliac” because — according to Islamic legend — he had sex with nine year-old Aisha. In the court’s view, this was “denigrating” because Mohammed did not have sex exclusively with children but also with grown women, and stayed with Aisha until his death when she was eighteen years old. So he was not inclined to pedophilia.

It might be interesting to see whether this scandalous judicial interpretation could persist in regard to convicted child molesters in Austria. It is known that many of these child molesters were fathers of families at the time. This could therefore no longer legally be called “pedophilia.”

Elisabeth’s statement after the trial is clear: “Today is a sad day for my young daughter and for all other young girls.”

europe is very angry at the Brits at this moment … screw em. europe I mean. war at 6.stay tuned

It all really started perhaps 25 years ago when a guy named Hirst took an axe and whacked his landlady a few times and re-arranged her in a way nature had not intended people to be. He’s a free man now having learned his lesson without even turning to Jesus and btw isn’t at all remorseful. Well heck, no reason to be. He’s a free man and one with a goal.  He was offended and done dirty by an unscrupulous penal system that didn’t allow him to vote.  Well, said he. We’ll soon see about that.

So he lobbied and wrote and got legal help cos tho he’s a murderous and miserable bastard, he is not stupid. He knows the system and he knows how the game is played.
And play it he has.

People who read this blog on a fairly steady basis are by now familiar with my rants and hair pulling diatribes with regard to something called The European Union.  If you speak to the average Brit on the street, I personally believe that a fair majority will rant against their membership too. Alas, there isn’t a hell of lot the voter/taxpayer can do about it. 

The other thing I bark about a lot, in fact it’s almost become a religion with me, is a little thing called National Sovereignty. Brits feel they’ve lost their and many damn well want it back.  Ah there’s the rub.  Ya see, I have just discovered something else in Europe that ties things up. Well two actually.
There also the European Commission, AND, The Council of Europe. Oh and lets not forget about the European Court of Human Rights, which has judges sitting on it that not only don’t speak English, they aren’t even judges in their home countries.

Well, the fight has been raging for months now about a prisoners right to the vote. And they do have their adherents. So the court ruled in favor of voting rights with some liberals claiming that their freedom is denied due to their crime(s), but that they should not be made to feel excluded.  They have human rights and one of those is the vote.  The PM said the thought of that made him ill. The court says tough, and govt. lawyers say that since the court ruled in favor, if the govt. refuses, then the taxpayer will shell out millions and millions in compensation claims. To guys who most likely never voted in their entire lives anyway.

That’s where things stood till Thursday night.  I listened to some of the arguments on the radio. The conservatives threatened a revolt if the issue wasn’t voted on in Parliament. There were some who were willing to cave in to the European court, but even many Liberals joined with the Cons to say up your wahzoo to the court.  This is an internal affair affecting our country and our courts. 

Oh no it isn’t says the court outside the UK borders.  It’s our affair cos you signed up to the euro thingy and now your ass is grass and we’re a lawnmower.
But the MPs in their vote won an overwhelming vote against, with only 22 jerks voting for.  There was even salacious talk about,
SOVEREIGNTY.  Well I never.

So for now the lawnmower is outta gas but lets not breath too easy yet. Those bastards in Europe are building an empire of a different nature from the old one that worked well when the Brits ran things.

Here’s the story and link to it all written by qualified journalists who aren’t using bad language or getting all worked up.  This fight isn’t over yet.
Stay Tuned

Prison votes backlash: Fury as Europe tells us it is ‘deeply disappointed’ after our MPs take historic decision to reject ruling by human rights court
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Last updated at 1:51 PM on 12th February 2011

The body that oversees European human rights law angered MPs last night by attacking their decision to reject demands to give prisoners the vote.
The Council of Europe said it was ‘deeply disappointed’ by the defiance of Parliament and had expected better from one of Europe’s oldest democracies, which it said must ‘abide by its international obligations’.

Despite the outburst, David Cameron told colleagues he would rather pay compensation to prisoners banned from voting than try to pass legislation that had no chance of getting through the Commons.

The Prime Minister will scrap plans to introduce a Bill later this year responding to rulings on prisoners’ votes from the European Court of Human Rights, unless an acceptable compromise can be reached that satisfies his MPs.
He is also expected to announce within weeks that the Government is setting up an independent commission to draw up plans to rebalance human rights laws by creating a new British Bill of Rights.

Government legal advisers have been asked to consider all options following the historic Commons vote on Thursday night which insisted on Britain’s sovereign right to make its own laws.
Senior Liberal Democrats have made it clear they would leave the Coalition if there is any suggestion that Britain pulls out of the 60-year-old convention on human rights.

MPs prompted an unprecedented stand-off between Parliament and the ECHR by voting to maintain a 140-year-old ban on convicts taking part in elections.
The court has ruled that disenfranchising prisoners breaches the European convention on human rights and threatened big compensation payouts. Lawyers branded ‘vultures’ have filed claims on behalf of as many as 2,500 convicts.

MP, Priti Patel said: ‘This is a shameful attempt by Europe to censure the democratic will of the House of Commons.
‘Most British people already distrust European institutions trying to meddle in our lives and the attitude and the contempt PACE is now showing to the democratic decision yet again shows how out of touch Europe is.

‘Instead of posturing and trying to bully Britain, it should respect the view of democratically elected MPs.’
Former Conservative shadow home secretary David Davis, who proposed this week’s cross-party motion, said: ‘It is about time the Council of Europe made the court honour its own international obligations. Instead, they’re extending way beyond what the treaty was originally intended to deliver.’
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg acknowledged that the Government was caught in a dilemma.

PRISON VOTES, MORE

Come over and join in me soft-touch Britain, says foreign squatter. And so they did. Look at this.

Here’s another story on the subject of how easy it is to squat on another’s property, here in squatters paradise.
The reason I’m posting this is because there’s a somewhat newer twist.

There are something like 14 or 15 photos that go with this article.

At first, when I read the hard copy this morning I was really angry with the slobs. Still not happy with them but, the reason they’re here and doing what you will read and see for yourself is .... the UK system of law that makes it so easy.  Called “Squatters Rights” I do believe. If wrong, Lyndon will correct me I know.

These folks are enabled and indeed encouraged by a lax and outdated system. They’ve no money we know of and no worries about the law (which I believe they know) or anyone coming after them with a gun.  So then, anyone surprised that they’re “Doin’ what comes naturally?”

This sort of thing could of course be stopped dead in it’s tracks very quickly. Take em out, tie em to stakes and burn slowly to the music of Spike Jones playing “My Old Flame.” Make a video, with sound naturally, and distribute to those places where they come from. In fact, make it public enough so that any would be squatters would know the eventual price of their (brief) squat. 
No need then for court time, no need for lawyers and appeals and judges having to pontificate. The savings in legal fees alone would be well worth it.

Oh yeah, I’d also send a bill to their home countries for waste disposal.

Come over and join in me soft-touch Britain, says the Latvian who traveled 1,500miles and ended up squatting in a £6m mansion

By Paul Bentley

With its ten bedrooms, marble bathrooms and modern high-spec kitchen it is a property fit for a top ­executive or celebrity.

But yesterday it was home to 30 Eastern Europeans who flocked 1,000 miles to London when they heard how Britain was such a soft touch for squatters.

The gang of immigrants are living for free in the £6million former home of an ITV boss in North London.

They left their home countries and moved in after friends told them the rights of squatters are so entrenched in the UK that it would be ‘almost impossible’ to force them out.

Many of the young foreigners, mainly from Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, broke through a window of the mansion on Boxing Day and have put up legal notices claiming it is their ‘right’ to stay.

They have plastered the property with posters threatening to prosecute anyone who enters without permission.

The ten-bedroom house in Highgate was owned until July last year by John Ormerod, 61, a director of several leading UK companies who also chairs the audit committee at ITV, and his wife Pamela, a magistrate.

The warning posters, on the door and windows, read: ‘Take notice. That we live in this property, it is our home and we intend to stay here.’

Once finely decorated, the house now resembles a refugee camp, with the 30 squatters, many of whom are jobless, littering the floors with ­rubbish and smoking drugs freely.

The gang, aged from 19 to 50, have been given a court order to leave by January 19, but they boast about their intentions to stay on – if they don’t upgrade to a bigger home nearby.

It was a Latvian calling himself ‘Jason Ruddick’ who first broke into the house. He had travelled to London because he had heard it was easy to live in mansions for free in the UK.

Some of the bedrooms have marble en suite bathrooms and Jason, who moved to the UK a year ago, has set up a makeshift office in one.

The jobless 21-year-old said: ‘I knew before I came that people live in squats and have legal protection.

‘Here we have heating and electricity all for free. The bills come in the post but they are addressed to the old owners. We don’t pay them.

‘There are four floors in the house. Ten bedrooms. There are three bathrooms with bathtubs and showers, a kitchen with all the cooking facilities, heating – and all the utilities are on. And there is a big garden with a swing. It’s really expensive to live in such a big house if you have to pay for it. But in the UK we get everything for free. Even food.

‘We always have a full fridge. We go to Iceland and get all the good food from the rubbish bins. It’s called “skipping”. We get sausage rolls, pies and beer from there. When one can is damaged they throw out the whole pack. It’s easy. I like it in Highgate. The area is nice. It is close to Hampstead Heath. If they make me leave I will find a bigger place in the area.’

Jason is from the Latvian capital of Riga, where he also did not work.

He said he chose to come to England because in other countries squatters are routinely arrested and hauled before the courts.

‘Here I can live in a big house for free,’ he said. ‘I was the first one here but I told all my friends about it. We tell everyone back home about it.’

More Prison Idiocy

But the name of the prison is funny in America, and seems to fit both the crime mentioned and the philosophical ideas in play here.

Two sex offenders held at Peterhead Prison who were prevented from voting in European elections have had their claim for compensation rejected.

Robert Greens and another unidentified inmate had taken their case to the European Court of Human Rights.

The court agreed the prisoners’ rights had been “infringed”, but did not award them any damages.

UK law currently prevents prisoners from voting, although ministers have accepted the law must be changed.

The European Court has given the UK government six months to amend the current laws.

Robert Greens, who was convicted of raping a Dutch student at Rosslyn Chapel near Edinburgh in 2005, and another prisoner, referred to as MT, were refused the vote in the 2008 European Parliament elections.

The issue stems from a case brought by convicted killer John Hirst, who challenged the view that prisoners be denied the right to vote.

In their ruling, judges said it was a “cause for regret” that in the five years since the Hirst ruling, no amending measures had been brought forward by the UK government.

They added: “The court notes that it will be for the United Kingdom government in due course to implement such measures as it considers appropriate to fulfil its obligations to secure the right to vote in compliance with this judgment.

“In the circumstances, it considers that this may be regarded as providing the applicant with just satisfaction for the breach in this case.”

Despite refusing the prisoners compensation, the court did order the state to pay the applicants 5,000 euros to cover costs and expenses.

And with any smarts, the UK will continue to ignore this latest drivel as well. Prisoners voting? Balderdash! Compensation for their trying to game the system? Utter rot! Bloody Belgians telling us what to do in our own country? Sod off mate!

It’s little moments like this that give me hope that altogether everything is not completely lost over there.

BUDDHIST PRISONER SUES OVER MEAT.  just more proof how screwed up things are.

I caught this short blurb and have the need to share. As always.  Possibly my only post for today.

The European Court of Human Rights has ordered the Polish prison service to pay a Buddhist prisoner $3,500 in compensation for failing to provide him with vegetarian meals.
In its ruling, the Strasbourg based court said that by serving meat with his meals, the prison service had violated the religious freedom of Janusz Jakobski, a convicted rapist.
The prison service says that Jakobski, a convert, had previously claimed to be a devout Roman Catholic who fought to have a cross in his cell.

Does anyone besides my brilliant self get the feeling this guy is playing the system?
I mean, it isn’t out in the open obvious, is it? One would have to be a rocket scientist like me to pick up on that cleverly hidden fact.

Hey, the guy is a rapist. Period. He shouldn’t have any rights whatever. And by the way, there was an article recently, no more then a line or two actually so not even an article, wherein it claimed that in some interviews done with prisoners on the subject of rights, the inmates are laughing themselves silly at what they can get away with and how easy it is to get officialdom to “jump through human rights hoops.”

So lets hear it for the European court and the marvelous systems that dispense hilarity for criminals everywhere, and shed a tear for ‘justice’ which apparently has gotten lost in the shuffle.
