Immigration is at record highs despite ConDem coalition promises to slash the number of arrivals. They promised to cut net migration to under 100,000. This week it hit 252,000.
Under the Labour government, 5.2 million foreign immigrants arrived in the UK while 2 million left. Thus net foreign immigration was 3.2 million while about one million British citizens emigrated in that period. Despite the recession and the introduction of the “tough” new Points Based System, net foreign immigration has remained high and has in fact increased. Net migration for 2010 was 239,000. These current levels of immigration are far higher than at any time in our history.
A total of 590,000 immigrants arrived in first nine months of last year. That's the second highest level ever.
The latest government household projections show that immigration will account for 36% of all new households in the next 20 years.
Meanwhile, there are more than 300 primary schools in which over 70% have English as a second language; this is nearly a half million children. In primary and secondary schools, nearly one million children have English as a second language
Official population projections say that numbers in the country will hit 70 million by 2027. Many believe that this is the level at which housing, energy, water, schools and transport come under unsustainable pressure.
If net migration continues at the 250,000 level the 70 million figure will be reached much earlier.
Immigration is changing the nature of our country. Will your children (let alone your grandchildren) live in a Britain you could recognise?

Jamaica
In racialist circles, Haiti has become the ultimate symbol of how freedom has failed, how civilization has declined in the Caribbean after the demise of white supremacy.
The purpose of the Caribbean Project is to use Haiti as a launching pad for a comprehensive investigation into the free negro as he exists across all the black islands in the Caribbean and Atlantic.
In Jamaica, we see that Haitianization is well advanced:
“With an annual murder rate of 1,500 in a population of less than three million, Jamaica is now one of the most violent countries in the world, on a level with South Africa and Columbia.”
In Britain, the abolition of slavery was considered a great idea. Later, the end of white supremacy and decolonization was hailed as “the winds of change.”
“Sugar has been in crisis in the West Indies ever since the plantation system collapsed under Queen Victoria. Between 1848 and 1910 the number of plantations shrank from 513 to 77, many being sold for less than the price of their sugar boilers.”
The Visible Black Hand of Economics has been at work in Jamaica ever since the abolition of slavery in 1834. This is sometimes called “The Crisis of Freedom.”
During the “Crisis of Freedom,” Chinese coolies were imported to work as wage laborers of Jamaica’s plantations. This happened throughout the British West Indies in places like Barbados and British Guiana.
“The value of British imports from Jamaica alone was five times that from Britain’s thirteen mainland colonies in North America.”
Under slavery, Jamaica thrived and produced more wealth than the 13 American colonies. After freedom, Jamaica’s plantation economy collapsed and blacks were reduced to near starvation by the 1860s.
Why were blacks reduced to near starvation in Jamaica? Because as free laborers they turned out to be worthless. They did not respond to market incentives like the Chinese who had to be imported to Jamaica to do the jobs that free negroes wouldn’t do.
“Kingston rail station (adjacent to the Darling Street bus terminus) has been out of service since 1992. Built by the British under Queen Victoria its iron arches today are sprouting vegetation, with railway carriages mouldering in the siding, their windows smashed. Once, higglers had used these trains to ferry their produce across the island, now they have to find alternative means of transport. Politicians in modern Jamaica have little regard for the state, and the responsibility for its maintenance. So ordinary Jamaicans have no decent public transport.”
As in Detroit and Haiti, free negroes in Jamaica lacked the capacity to maintain the existing public infrastructure.
“But surely, I asked, things had been ‘worse’ under the colonial British. ‘That’s what you think’, Berry replied. ‘But, you know, there was discipline back in them days. Look at the roads now, they’re like hellholes. We can’t even build a decent road! And the estates – they’ve run to seed, they’re full of emaciated cattle.’ Berry added with anger: ‘Jamaica’s stagnancy sickens me -what progress have we made since independence?’”
None.
Jamaica has retrograded under free society. Free negroes have failed to maintain the roads and public transit system.
“But what really troubled him was unutterable: he could hardly put it into words, though he said it anyway, ‘Jamaica has not been better off since independence.’
Something had gone terribly wrong in Jamaica for Berry to say that. He too had a vision of modern Jamaica freed of imperial Britain, where there was equality among black, white and brown, and life was transformed for the better.”
Something has gone horribly wrong in post-independence Jamaica. The same thing that went wrong in Haiti and Detroit: free negroes lacked the capacity to maintain civilization.
The Black Undertow has overwhelmed Jamaica. Their lack of capacity is the common thread that runs through the corruption of the political system, the collapse of plantation agriculture, the decline of the infrastructure, the explosion in poverty and violent crime, and the creation of a garrison society where every house has bars on its windows.
Freedom failed in Jamaica. Simple as that.

We have often maintained that these subtle commercials are sometimes more poisonous than the more explicit ones because they creep under our radar and poison the well of our unconscious minds.
Does anyone think these memes are accidental when they play out identically in two separate videos?
Sure, at first glance these ads might just look to be mocking stupid white men. But you'll notice more going on if you are attentive.
Watch the weird placement of the black guy and blonde white woman in the first video, above. Though physically they are spaced a few feet apart, the camera angle makes it look like they are meshed into each other. At :04, when the black guy leans up against the car, he seems to lean into the white woman. They share the center of the frame together.
Now pause at :05. Look at the black guy's hand, which is coolly leaning on the windshield of the car. From the angle of the camera, it actually looks like it is draped across the blond woman's waist, touching her just above her vaginal area. Again and again they use this this angle (at :15 and :20). Eventually it looks like he's caressing her.
Any accident, this pairing? this juxtaposition of black man on white woman while a white guy is made to look like a fool? If you think it is just my own paranoia, check out video two, below.
Again the white guy is depicted as foolish while the cool black guy and white woman pair up. Again at :04 they are integrated into each other. The white woman looks back at the black guy, as if for reassurance. Again at :05 they are leaned into one another. At :14 they simultaneously shake their heads disapprovingly. In other words, they team up, gang up in rejection of the white male dolt.
Funny how the people who produced this ad think you white fokes gonna go out git yerselves a brand new Chevy like the brainwashed pathetic sheep you are.
Only Jews Have a Right to Their Identity, Claims Leading Jewish Supremacist
By Dr David Duke
European Americans who want to keep America’s “essence” European are a “scourge” but Israel has a “non-negotiable right” to be Jewish.
This is the opinion of leading anti-European Jewish supremacist Menachem Rosensaft, who claims to be the “Founding Chairman of the International Network of Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors” and regular columnist in the Zionist-controlled mass media.
The blatant hypocrisy of this Jewish Supremacist is typical of that group’s attitude towards all peoples: no other nation has the existence in its own right, but Israel and Jews have an absolute right to their identity and their own country.
Rosensaft’s hypocrisy is contained in two articles he has penned for the Huffington Post’s ‘World’ section. The first, titled “White Nationalism: A Scourge That Won’t Go Away” had the following to say about a number of European-Americans, including Professor Kevin MacDonald, who have dared to speak out in favor of keeping America American:
“We all know that there are bigots amongst us who espouse theories of racial, ethnic or religious superiority. They have the right to express their views, however noxious, on street corners or on their websites. No one, however, is obliged to invite them to be part of polite society.”
Yet in another article dealing with Israel and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s reference to “Palestine” at a United Nations’ General Assembly meeting, Rosensaft wrote that “a permanent, eternal Jewish sovereignty in the State of Israel is non-negotiable” in an article titled Israel’s Jewish Essence Is Non-Negotiable: A Response to Mahmoud Abbas.
This admission reveals well the astonishing hypocrisy at work in the Jewish Supremacist mindset. Any attempt by any people, anywhere, be they Palestinians, Iraqis, Iranians, or Europeans, to assert their identity and right to self-determination, is to be fiercely opposed and attacked with all the opprobrium possible.
Simultaneously, these same Jewish Supremacists will fanatically support Israel’s right to be Jewish, without blinking at eye or missing a beat.
Rosensaft is but one of many such blatant hypocrites amongst the Jewish Supremacists, and the world will not know peace until their power is broken.
Is Kevin Swanson of Elizabeth, Colorado, the wealthiest OPC pastor in the world? How many other non-megachurch pastors do you know who live ina $620,000 house with 7,380 square feet on 20 acres? The Jesus business is booming. This is one of the interesting tidbits of information that you’ll find in Tribal Theocrat’s latest podcast, which covers Swanson’s obnoxious mishandling of the Zimmerman-Martin story. The podcast is fantastic, and among many excellent points made therein, Christian Gray observes that semitically correct hirelings like Swanson love to make racist jokes about inbred white Kentuckians but would never dare to utter a blasphemous word against one of the most inbred groups in the world, Ashkenazi Jews. You have to know how to straddle the hobby horse of hate if you want a thriving career.
Go to 1:02:00 in this Voice of Reason interview to hear Christian Gray give an excellent and refreshing defense of the faith.
Swanson notices that more violent crimes are being committed in public schools than among adults in the country at large. He doesn’t mention a word about race, but can a solution even be considered without taking race into account? It’s ironic that the same Christian homeschoolers who appropriately advocate religious segregation also advocate racial integration, which will have a far more devastating effect on their precious children. Swanson admits it himself at 15:18 when he says that peer groups and pop culture are more toxic than the ideas that are shared in public schools.
Interracial “marriages” like Swanson’s have jumped 28% in the last decade, now comprising 10% of all married couples. The rarest combination is an Asian man with a black woman (9,000). The most popular is a white man with an Asian woman.
According to the American Journal of Public Health, white women “married” to black men are 12.4 times more likely to be murdered than white women married to white men. And white men “married” to black women are a staggering 21.4 times more likely to be murderedthan white men married to white women.
The number of children born to black and white couples and to Asian and white couplesalmost doubled in the last decade. Over all, biracial births are now 7% of the total.
The tipping point has officially been reached. (The year 1981 was when feminism reached a similar tipping point.) Just in time for the baby boomers to retire and become dependents, diversities now account for 92% of population growth. Whites are actually expected to look upon this massive replacement as a retirement plan. What could be racist about that? Has there ever been such a devastating curse poured out on a disobedient people?
Clyde Wilson is upset about the demographic news. I wonder why. For years, he has said that there is a Yankee problem but not a Negro problem. Funny how “racism” is a bad thing, until it isn’t.
This time Deanna Spingola and I mainly discussed the holohoax as well as shills in the “truth” movement and their tactics to push Jewish disinformation on unsuspecting people seeking answers. We also touched on the lies told about Hitler, Nazi Germany and the slanderous disinfo peddlers who relentlessly smear Hitler’s good name and why we must fight these lies to bring down the Jew World Order.
“I am convinced that nearly all wars are caused so that someone will profit and those who profited and those who are profiting now are the International Financiers, the Jews. Gather together the fifty most wealthy Jewish Financiers, the men who create wars for their own profits, control them and you will put an end to it all.” — Henry Ford
By William Anderson
In the years before World War II, the American public had no desire to go to war in either Europe or Asia. We, as Americans, had no interest in warring with Germany, Italy or Japan. Yet America was forced to battle the Axis Powers for four long years at the sole behest of International Jewry.
In fact, World Jewry commenced its War against Germany in 1933, the year Hitler came to power, even before he had time to begin implementing a program for pulling Germany out of its own economic depression. [See headline below dated 3/24/33]
Jewry’s declaration of a “holy war” against Germany was issued by Samuel Untermeyer of the World Jewish Federation who said in the New York “Times” of 7 Aug. 1933 that it would be means of an “economic boycott that will undermine the Hitler regime and bring the German people to their senses by destroying their export trade on which their very existence depends.” Furthermore, the Toronto “Evening Telegram” of 26 Feb. 1940 quotes Rabbi Maurice L. Perlzweig of the World Jewish Congress as telling a Canadian audience that “the World Jewish Congress has been at war with Germany for seven years” (i.e. 1933).
Jews were obviously willing to back up their threats, for the London “Sunday Chronicle” of 2 Jan. 1938 reported that “leaders of International Jewry” had met in Geneva, Switzerland to set up a $2.5 BILLION fund to undermine the economic stability of Germany.
However, Jewish boycotts against Germany failed to bring that nation to its knees as Hitler had already freed Germany from dependence on Jewish usury. Since economic pressure by World Jewry could not break the back of Germany, it was determined that an actual war would be necessary to destroy Hitler.
The Jewish desire for war was admitted to by Rabbi Felix Mendelsohn in the Chicago “Sentinel” of 8 Oct. 1942 where he states: “The Second World War is being fought for the defense of the fundamentals of Judaism.” Thus, Rabbi Mendelsohn flatly expresses the view that WWII was a Jewish war.
This Jewish scheme came to fruition in 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. Britain and France, under Jewish domination, then declared war on Germany, conveniently ignoring the fact that the Soviet Union (under Jewish rule) had also invaded Poland.
As proof, James Forrestal, later to become Secretary of Defense, in his diary of 27 Dec. 1945 notes that he played golf with Joseph Kennedy, FDR’s ambassador to Britain, who told him that ex-Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain “stated that America and the world Jews had forced England into war.” For his candor and later opposition to the bandit state of Israel, Forrestal was murdered in 1949 (ruled a “suicide”). [The Forrestal Diaries, Life Magazine October 15th, 1951]
Jews throughout the world screamed that Germany was intent on ruling the world, but Gen. George C. Marshall admitted after the war, in testimony before Congress, that no proof could be found that Hitler planned any conquest of the world.
In fact, Hitler’s actions against Czechoslovakia over the Sudentenland and Poland over Danzig were just part of Hitler’s long stated desire to re-acquire the territory taken from Germany after WWI in the Treaty of Versailles.
While stones are being cast, it should be recalled that after Germany took back the Sudentenland from Czechoslovakia, Poland seized the territory of Teschen from the Czechs which it had no claims toward.
So, after the Jews had ignited a war in Europe, it was found to be necessary to draw America into that war as France had fallen and Britain tottered on the brink of defeat.
To bring the U.S. into this Jewish war, International Jewry had the services of a master at corrupt politics — the one and only Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Interestingly enough, Col. Curtis Dall who was once FDR’s son-in-law accused Roosevelt of being partly Jewish.* In any event, Roosevelt was surrounded by plenty of Jewish advisors such as Bernard Baruch, S. I. Rosenman, Sidney Weinburg, Sidney Hillman and Felix Frankfurter.
For the first time, Jewry had a President who was totally subservient to them and they spared no effort to keep him in office [four terms]. For example, when it appeared that Sen. Huey Long would defeat Roosevelt for the 1939 Democratic nomination, he was assassinated by Dr. Carl Weiss, a Jew.
Nevertheless, American public opinion was overwhelmingly opposed to any involvement in WWII. Americans realized that they had been duped into WWII and were not interested in losing the lives of loved ones in a war that offered no benefits to the U.S. In effect, Americans were heeding the advice of George Washington in his “Farewell Address” where he warned that Americans must not become involved in entangling alliances with foreign nations.
Those patriots who followed Washington’s sound advice were disparagingly referred to as “isolationists,” but they were, in actuality, neutralists. Thus Congress, acting on the will of the people, passed the Neutrality Act of 1935 which embargoed any U.S. arms from being sent to a warring nation.
About three years later, in 1938, Rep. Louis Ludlow of Indiana introduced a resolution requiring a public vote of support for any declaration of war by Congress. Roosevelt and the Jews knew this measure could easily destroy their efforts, so an all out attack on the resolution was launched. As a result, the Ludlow bill was narrowly defeated.
The Jews had good reason to block the resolution for the American Institute for Public Opinion (AIPO) released at that time a poll showing 83% of the citizens opposed to U.S. intervention in an European war.
Moreover, in April 1939, during the height of war fever, a whopping 95% opposed American entry into a war against Germany. That’s right, virtually every citizen was soundly against the U.S. involving itself in a foreign war. As a result, Congress strengthened the Neutrality Act by barring commerce and travel, as well as arms, to any belligerent power.
At this point, the Jews began to show signs of desperation, but these wily manipulators of world events still had a few tricks up their collective sleeve. So, in 1939 an immense propaganda campaign, the likes of which had never before been seen, was launched. No stone was left unturned in Jewry’s assault on the minds of the American people.
One was bombarded with the most outlandish lies about Hitler and Germany from all sides -in newspapers, magazines, books, radio and motion pictures. FDR also unleashed the powerful, persuasive techniques of the federal government in the blitz to “hate Germany.”
To get an idea of just how far this propaganda attack went, one should note that the Jew Theodore Kaufman wrote a book entitled “Germany Must Perish,” which outlined a plan to exterminate Germans by sterilizing 48 million of them. Believe it or not, this call for genocide by a Jew was well received in many influential circles. [Online Book: Germany Must Perish!]
Conversely, Germany never carried out a “holocaust” against the Jews, but after the war was accused of doing so any way. This “holocaust” trumped up by Jewry has been used since WWII to divert attention from their own machinations to plunge America into the maelstrom of yet another war.
The Jew orchestrated assault of hate against Germany was successful in cowering Congress into lifting the arms embargo and allowed the free flow of weapons to Britain and later to the Soviet Union. This action made U.S. ships carrying the arms fair targets for German subs; but no attacks occurred [until October 31, 1941], which is certainly odd behavior for a “madman” (Hitler) bent on “world rule.”
While Congress succumbed to the barrage of hate propaganda, the public remained totally against the war. For instance, in Oct. 1940 about 83% polled were opposed to U.S. involvement. In April 1941, it was 85% against and in July 1941, opposition was pegged at a healthy 79%. Not surprisingly, the pollsters quit asking the question at this point, as FDR and Jewry had all but gotten war officially declared.
By 1940, Roosevelt had rammed through Congress a draft and conscription although polls indicated at least 50% of the public was against such a move. By now it should be perfectly obvious that World Jewry had begun planning for U.S. entry into the war at least three years before Pearl Harbor, despite overwhelming opposition.
Speaking of Pearl Harbor, it is important to understand the complete facts surrounding the “surprise attack.” While 95% of all respondents were opposed to war in 1939, about 90% indicated they were willing to fight if directly attacked. Operating on this information, Jewry did everything possible to goad either Germany or Italy into attacking America. However, the bait was refused as Hitler was attempting at that time to negotiate a peace with England, which was flatly rejected by the Jew lackey Churchill.
Thus Jewry’s attention turned toward Japan, which had a mutual defense pact with Germany and Italy. Japan had been engaged in a war with China which FDR and the Jews tried to use as an excuse for American intervention, even though the events in Asia were of no concern to America.
Jewish, not American, interests however were what concerned Roosevelt and in July 1941, he froze Japanese assets in the U.S. and embargoed trade. This was reason enough to declare war, but Japan humbly proposed to sit down and negotiate U.S.-Japanese differences. Instead of accepting the offer, FDR insulted Japanese Ambassador Nomura and refused to meet with Prime Minister Konoye.
As a result, Konoye and his “peace party” were replaced by Gen. Tojo and his “war party,” yet Japan continued to make peace overtures only to have them all flatly rejected. Finally, on 26 Nov. 1941, Roosevelt sent an ultimatum to Japan which amounted to a virtual declaration of war. This ultimatum, according to Prof. Harry Elmer Barnes, was actually drafted by Jew Harry Dexter White (Weiss) in collaboration with Jewish Treasury Secretary Harry Morgenthau.
It was this ultimatum, penned by two Jews, that forced Japan to attack or else “lose face,” which in Oriental thinking is a fate worse than death. The final, sorry episode of this disgusting chain of events is that Washington knew of the impending attack on Pearl Harbor at least 12 hours before the blow fell, but refused to warn military officers there.
The U.S. had been forewarned since the Japanese message code had been broken and America was thus able to monitor Japanese dispatches. No word was sent to Pearl Harbor by FDR and the Jews as the messages revealed that the attack should be called off if it appeared that the Americans were prepared.
So International Jewry by going through the “back door” had successfully ensnared America into WWII; a war that would cost millions of lives and billions of dollars. The bottom line of the war would be a world under the total subjugation of Jewry through its twin arms of Communism and Zionism.
These facts have been covered up and ignored in the mass media, but Charles Lindbergh, for one, recognized where the finger of proof pointed. In his “Wartime Journals,” he states that “the Jews, the Roosevelt administration, and British sympathizers combined to encourage the U.S. to enter World War II.”
Lindbergh and other patriots sought to stop Jewry’s war plans by setting up the America First Committee. The committee found widespread support, but could not overcome the billions spent by Jews to brainwash the public into accepting war after Pearl Harbor.
And it is Jewry which best recognizes why the U.S. entered WWII. “The American Hebrew,” in an editorial of 24 July 1942, declared that “whenever an American or a Filipino fell at Bataan or Corregidor or at any other of the now historic spots where MacArthur’s men put up their remarkable fight, their survivors could have said with truth: the real reason that boy went to his death was because Hitler’s anti-semitic movement succeeded in Germany.”
The above quotation from a Jewish newspaper is an admission that the U.S. entered WWII only at the behest of World Jewry — a war Jewry declared all the way back in 1933! Of course, this admission was intended only for consumption by a Jewish audience to keep them in the know, which tends to make it all the more revealing.
Any American involvement in a foreign conflict should be judged as to whether it is in the best interest of the American nation; yet the U.S. entered WWII because it was in the best interest of International Jewry.
Thus, the Jews forced the U.S. into war against the public’s will in 1941 and the $64 million question is will it happen again? Events are already pointing towards a build-up of war hysteria. Without a doubt, Jewry is leading America by the nose towards war in the Middle East on behalf of the bandit state of Israel.
Will we learn from the lessons of the past or will we once again find ourselves forced into war for the benefit of World Jewry?
The real reasons for WWII (watch now, because the Jews will get this upload censored soon enough).
* FDR did have Jewish ancestry. Please read my Day of Deceit: FDR and Pearl Harbor on how FDR goaded the Japs into attacking us at Pearl Harbor as a way to inflame Americans and backdoor us into a war against Hitler (who successfully threw off the chains of International Jewish money). Folks, we’ve long been manipulated by evil people who have no problem seeing you or your children killed for the greed and ambitions of World Jewry. Look at Israel’s connections to 9/11 and the resulting never-ending wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, for chrissakes!
Enemies are defined as those who are opposed or hostile to someone or something. An enemy can be a thing that harms or weakens something else. An enemy is not a friend. Enemies present risk or injury to those they oppose. The risk or the injury can be physical. But it can equally be psychological, based only on a presumption of danger. The possibility ofharm, and the personal acceptance of the fear involved, invariably provokes reactions from those who accept such fears. They will conduct themselves according to their own desire to avoid such conflicts or confrontations.
What kind of enemies do we have today? We have al-Qaeida, global warming, a financial crisis, drug abuse, tyrannical dictators, nuclear threat, oil spills, abortion, chemicals in our food, and many more. But most of these problems are psychologically motivated fears, rather than direct threats to the safety of people. As a whole, all of these problems consist of a very small number of actual threats to the people, especially when considering the number of deaths attributed to preventable disease, malnutrition, and accidents.
Of course these are enemies, too. There’s plenty to worry about, and when your mind is filled with worrying, you won’t bother asking questions. Your emotions win out, and your active thought processes are suppressed. It’s not a conspiracy, it’s a fact and it was your own choice, this is where you have no one else to blame but yourself. You gave up facing the problems of the world to vegetate in front of a television. You took the path of least resistance. Learning anything takes work. It takes application, and action. Not lethargy.
And boredom? It’s a lack of external stimulus. Which is why you fill that void with entertainment. Instead of being taught to question the world, we are forced to accept institutional interpretations, and this destroys the inventive and inquisitive nature of the mind. We fail to be creative because we were forced to repeat what we are told. We literally become our own enemies, because we are conflicted internally between what our free will offers us- against the institutional indoctrination and regimentation that is forced upon us. These two forces: the internal independent motivations known as volition and creativity- and the procedure and rules of institutions, are diametrically opposed to each other.
One is a natural proclivity in man, that allows him to be independent and self-sufficient, while the other trains men to believe in dogmatic teachings that a small group of leaders decide to impose- to keep the people busy, both physically and mentally. One of these forces will win out, and either the man will accept his place under the rulership of a leader, or he will rise to the call of his own leadership, his own authority, and his own government. In doing so, he becomes independent. He becomes free. Free of mind.
For ultimately, we even give up our bodies to old age, and the rest of our material possessions remain here among the survivors. Philosophically, no one is ever truly, physically free. We are bound to the environment and we depend on it for our needs and survival. We must eat, and
breathe. And even then we are bound to the body itself, and are forced to operate within the performance envelope of the body, a further restriction or dependency some people would never recognize, as they never had to suffer extreme cold or starvation.
Last Sunday I was watching The Big Questions on BBC, a programme that is best described as a Sunday morning shout-fest. The studio audience usually contains a fair number of religious zealots and assorted weirdos together with sceptics who seek to challenge their beliefs. Last week’s discussion was about religious cults and whether they are any different to mass religions. In truth, the mass religions are the same as cults, they just have better PR and more members. This got me thinking: what about those obscure economic cults like Objectivism? What about all those tiresome free-marketeers who slavishly follow the curious fiscal asceticism of Hayek or Friedman? Are they any different to Scientologists or Moonies? Well, no.
Cults are always organized around a charismatic leader. We see this with the Scientologists, the Moonies, the Children of God (now called Family International) and small Healy-ite cults like the Workers Revolutionary Party. The economic cults are no different; they are all obsessed with ideological purity. The leader’s word is supreme.
All cults, like mass religions, require fetish-objects (Islam and Judaism have no fetish-objects). These fetish objects can range from things like a nail or a splinter from the True Cross or, in the case of Reaganites, a vial of Ronald Reagan’s blood. These economic cultists have money, which, as a fetish-object, serves much the same purpose as praying to an icon of the Virgin or any number of obscure saints. With this money, I am free! With this money I can enslave others and tell them that I am doing it to make them free!
Blinded by their unswerving devotion, economic cultists will tell you how “flat taxes will benefit us all” and that ‘wealth’ will “trickle down” to those below, even though they produce no hard evidence of the viability of such notions. They will produce the holy icon of the Laffer Curve and, without a trace of irony, proceed to tell you why this curve is so significant and why those at the bottom of the economic ladder must take pay cuts while those at the top award themselves even bigger bonuses. This is voodoo economics. It’s magic, maaan! You will find them reciting passagess from The Road to Serfdom, one of the holy books of right-wing economic cultists and they will tell you, with a straight face, that fascism and socialism are the same thing and that only they hold the keys to your freedom. It isn’t and they don’t. But cultists won’t listen to anyone but their cult-leaders. Hayek’s word is holy writ. He speaketh the Truth and we listen. Just ask Dan Hannan.
You won’t find the working class or the lower middle class subscribing to these notions about ‘freedom’ and there is a very good reason for this: they can’t afford them. Only those who have a substantial amount of personal wealth can become cult members and take part in the liturgy.
These cults also have their priestly caste that is formed from a hardcore of free-market economists who are gathered together in think-tanks like the Adam Smith Institute, the Taxpayers Alliance or the Institute of Economic Affairs. It is within these bodies that the doctrines are formulated and the high priests of late capitalism worship at the clay feet of their dead idols. The Adam Smith Institute, for example, practices a strain of laissez-faire economics that is based on a highly selective reading of The Wealth of Nations and they rely on people’s ignorance of Smith’s theories in order to promote a filleted version of the book. For them “The Invisible Hand” is the most important thing, the rest of the text is discarded and ignored.
The right will make the counter-claim that the Left (whoever they are) worship John Maynard Keynes and have formed a cult around his ideas. They can make that claim as much as they like, but I have seen little evidence to support this notion. The Right, on the other hand, are entirely devoted to their idols and accept their ‘wisdom’ without criticism. But this deference shouldn’t surprise us: the Right doesn’t like to criticise what they see as unassailable truths; the holy word of Hayek or whichever economic theorist they happen to be praise-singing at that moment in time. This is the truth and all those who deny it shall perish.
The main problem with economic cults — especially those on the right — is that we are forced to live with their mistakes. Privatizations are forced onto people and all social relations are marketized. You have no say in any of this because those politicians who have set themselves up as our intellectual and philosophical superiors are oblivious to anything but the voices in their heads.
These corporations, if they were individual human beings, would be locked up for life. Instead, they continue raking in the big bucks.

The Health Service has removed the word ‘dad’ from a pregnancy handbook for fear of offending gay and lesbian parents.
Whats wrong with this picture? Everything!
Officials decided to use the term ‘partner’ throughout the 200-page guide, titled Ready Steady Baby, after receiving a complaint that ‘dad’ was discriminating against same-sex couples. But the omission of the word has angered some campaigners who claim that traditional family values are being undermined.
Norman Wells, of the Family Education Trust, said:
‘This is all part of an agenda to present as natural a type of family that cannot be created by natural means. The NHS should not be squandering taxpayers’ money to advance the cause of a minority interest group.
‘No matter how much effort is made to present positive images of families headed by same-sex couples, the fact remains it takes a man and a woman to create a child.’
Robert Oxley, from the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said:
‘It’s barmy that the NHS is wasting money reprinting guides because of a single complaint. Becoming a dad isn’t synonymous with one type of couple so it seems ridiculous to worry about changing it. The NHS has bigger priorities than prescribing how to define who wants to be called dad.’
Although the guide is published by the NHS, it is given only to pregnant women in Scotland when they go to ante-natal classes. Expectant mothers in England are given a similar pamphlet, The Pregnancy Book. A spokesman for the Department of Health, which produces it, said there were no plans to remove the word ‘dad’ from this guide.
A spokesman for NHS Health Scotland said it had been reviewing the wording anyway and had made several other changes. They confirmed it cost £100,000 to print 90,000 copies of the new version.
Nick Clegg yesterday denied that Britain is planning to ‘pull up the drawbridge’ to prevent an influx of foreign workers from crisis-hit eurozone nations. The Deputy Prime Minister hit out at ‘apocalyptic’ warnings that Britain could be hit by a wave of immigrants from Greece and other struggling countries if the euro crisis deepens. His intervention came after Theresa May disclosed contingency planning was under way to deal with a potential influx of would-be immigrants.
Reports said the Home Secretary was considering using emergency powers to bypass European single market rules and effectively seal the border. There are fears that Greece in particular could leave the euro and go bankrupt, causing millions of Greeks to lose their jobs and look for work abroad.
But Mr Clegg claimed yesterday she had only been talking about ‘keeping an eye on migration patterns’.
‘I really do think some of the breathless talk in the media about “Do we pull up the drawbridge to stop hordes of people migrating across Europe?” is both far-fetched, somewhat apocalyptic in tone and deeply unhelpful,’ he told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show. We are not there yet,’ he added.
Mr Clegg warned last week that allowing Greece to leave the euro could unleash ‘unpredictable, irrevocable damage’ to the entire European economy.
The only thing in this video I disagree with is where he says that David Duke and William Pierce can be “100% trusted to tell the truth.” Nobody is infallible. I believe David Duke and the late Dr. William Pierce are on the money on most things, but both of them have definitely been off the mark on certain important issues, especially concerning 9/11, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, and other staged terror events, which both of them stubbornly refuse/refused to acknowledge were complete frauds. - http://zioncrimefactory.com
Television networks are having a busy month trying to stamp out new TV-watching technology, including telling a court that skipping a commercial while watching a recorded show is illegal. Yesterday, Fox, NBC, and CBS all sued Dish Network over its digital video recorder with automatic commercial-skipping. The same networks, plus ABC, Univision, and PBS, are gearing up for a May 30 hearing in their cases against Aereo, a New York startup bringing local broadcast TV to the Internet.
The suits against Dish are a response to the "Hopper" DVR and its "Auto Hop" feature, which automatically skips over commercials. According to the networks' complaints, the Hopper automatically records eight days' worth of prime time programming on the four major networks that subscribers can play back on request. Beginning a few hours after the broadcast, viewers can choose to watch a program sans ads.
These suits are yet another in a long and ignominious series of lawsuits by content owners seeking to control the features of personal electronic devices, and to capture for themselves the value of new technologies no matter who invents them.
We've seen this movie before. Most directly, the Dish suits look like a replay of the 2002 suitagainst DVR maker ReplayTV. The networks sued ReplayTV for copyright infringement based on another automated commercial-skip feature. They claimed that viewers were infringing copyright when they skipped ads during playback, that skipping "robs the advertisers," and that ReplayTV should be responsible.
Western propagandists unanimously defer to "activists" despite hundreds of UN monitors on the ground in Syria.
This photograph is from today's UK Daily Mail. I have seen this picture before some years ago. Now the Mail are saying that these dead children were killed by Syrian Government troops:'On a bedroom floor, the bodies of Syrian children lie like discarded dolls. The eyes of some are still open and, hauntingly, their expressions are frozen in fright'. J.H.
Reports this week of the Syrian military "slaughtering civilians" near Homs have been reported relentlessly by Western media outlets, citing solely "activists" who have been consistently exposed as manipulating and purposefully distorting the reality on the ground in Syria. After episodes including "Gay Girl in Damascus," who turned out to be in fact a "middle-aged American man in Scotland," and "Syrian Danny" who was caught directing fake gunfire before a staged "casualty report" given to CNN's Anderson Cooper, the word of "activists" in Syria, openly sympathetic to the Free Syrian Army, is clearly less than credible.
Image: Brookings Institution's Salman Shaikh, a chief proponent of the engineered violence plotted by Brookings and others since as early as 2007, makes veiled threats against the safety of UN monitors in Syria. Corporate-financier elite, through their think-tanks have made a concerted effort to undermine the UN mission now that the rebels have been successfully rearmed, reorganized, and redeployed. The next step, as stated by Shaikh's peers over at the Henry Jackson Society, after feigning attempts to diplomatically resolve the conflict, is to begin NATO military intervention.
Despite this constant torrent of disinformation put out by dubious institutions possessing clear conflicts of interest, funded literally by convicted criminals and serial warmongers, a great deal of evidence has still emerged painting a very contradictory picture of events in Syria, and alleged "massacres" like the one supposedly unfolding once again near Homs. A picture of the Syrian military attempting to restore order in the face of a heavily armed, foreign-backed army of sectarian militants.
There are also admissions of Syrian rebels carrying out a campaign of indiscriminate terrorist bombings conducted by Free Syrian Army militants with ties to fighters who killed US troops in neighboring Iraq. Finally, there are revelations that the violence in Syria was not in fact "inspired" by the "Arab Spring," but instead the result of years of meticulous preparations by the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia to create a violent extremist front with which to destabilize a vast region extending from Iran all the to Lebanon, including Syria in between - this according to a 2007 New Yorkerarticle titled, "The Redirection" by Seymour Hersh.
A former Catholic priest who was defrocked after it was discovered he had sexually abused young girls is now working as a security screener for the TSA it has been revealed.
The CBS 3 I-Team in Philadelphia reports that Thomas Harkins, a priest in South Jersey until 2002, is now working at a security terminal at Philadelphia International Airport.
Thanks to Posse Comitatus, the US military are forbidden from responding on the streets of America whenever the whim is announced.
The Posse Comitatus Act, Section 1385, states that only under “circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress” can a military presence on American streets be permitted.
Yet, if the Defense Department has their way, a new authorization act will give them the power to order the armed forces to be used against the American public.
Air Force reservists are slated to be the new response team for domestic disturbances. Disseminated from Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) and other reserve agencies, these men and women could be called to be first responders to natural disasters within the United States. The legislation would extend mobilizations for indeterminate periods of time.
The AFRC affirms that reservists are traditionally not used in “homeland disaster response”. The governors of individual states can request the National Guard’s assistance during a natural disaster when local law enforcement becomes overwhelmed.
Our reservists have been asked and often volunteer to assist after disasters hit the homeland,” said Lt. Gen. Charles E. Stenner Jr., chief of Air Force Reserve and AFRC commander.
“Mobilizing needed reservists will help sustain their support for longer periods and make operations more efficient. We mobilize reservists to handle contingencies overseas, so it makes sense that we do that to take care of our own country.”
Because of the specialized training that reservists are given in dealing with disasters, the US government has decided they would be perfect as a first response team.
Earlier this month, in Crookston, Minnesota, there were armed US National Guardsmen that werepatrolling a residential neighborhood . These functions are called “urban operations training” where military personnel carry armed weapons with the command not to “utilize armory or pyrotechnics”.
Within the Air Force Reserve, there are other specialized units such as response personnel, supplies and equipment focused on disaster scenarios. As recent as 2008 saw our National Guard unit in America under NORTHCOM as “domestic security”.
Stenner proclaims that this new authority will allow the armed forces to make greater contributions to Americans should there be a natural disaster. He is referring to the frustration chiefs of reservists experience because they are “unable to help their communities.”
In a horrible, ignorant speech last week, the Deputy Prime Minister revealed himself as a limited, conformist slave to conventional wisdom. He is also a wretched, skulking hypocrite, as I shall explain later. He ought to know better.
Thinking people of Left and Right have at last begun to see that comprehensive state schools have failed the country, and, above all, have failed the children of the poor. Even veteran radical commentators such as Nick Cohen and Mary Ann Sieghart see the sense in selection by ability.
But Mr Clegg is demanding that our great universities should be ruined by the same egalitarian dogma that has wrecked secondary schooling. Put simply, he wants the best colleges to lower their entry requirements. This will, of course, increase the number of state school pupils who get in. And it will reduce the numbers from private schools.
It is easy to sympathise with this, if you forget that it will also mean that university standards will fall, irrecoverably. It should not be possible to buy privilege in education. It is obvious that ability and merit alone should be our guide.
But that is exactly where we were heading in this country until the Left-liberal levellers got to work. Mr Clegg thinks that ‘little has changed’ in the past 50 years. Oh yes it has. It has got much worse, thanks to people like him.
In 1965, just before most grammar schools and Scottish academies were abolished, 57 per cent of places at Oxford University were taken by pupils from state grammar schools or direct grant schools (independent schools that gave large numbers of free places on merit, a fine system done away with in 1975 in another wave of vindictive Leftist spite).
What is more important, the number of state school entrants was rising rapidly, and had done ever since 1945, when the grammar schools were opened to all who could qualify. No special concessions were made in those days. The grammar school boys and girls were there by absolute right. These brilliant people still hold high positions in every profession and activity.
But after 1965, the flow dried up, and instead of having a proper, qualified elite, we had to make do with privileged ninnies such as Mr Clegg instead.
Either they had gone to hugely expensive private schools, as he did, or they arrived at the top via the rich, well-connected socialist’s route to privilege, a semi-secret network of excellent state schools, some religious, some with tiny catchment areas where most people cannot afford to live, some with other elaborate arrangements to keep out the masses.
These schools – the Roman Catholic London Oratory that atheist Mr Clegg has visited as a prospective parent is an example – are officially comprehensive. But, in fact, they are comprehensive in the same way that 10 Downing Street is an inner-city terrace house.
What does Mr Clegg plan to do for his children? Does he plan to toss them into a bog-standard comp, where they will have to struggle to learn from demoralised supply teachers amid the shouting, the mobile phone calls and the fights?
Will he then feel his parental duty has been done if, despite the fact that they know very little, they are given privileged access to Oxbridge, but are unable to benefit from its rigour? I doubt it.
He won’t talk about it. He thinks it’s none of our business. Well, he is wrong. He has made it our business by supporting and defending a system that slams the gates of good schools in the faces of all those who are not rich.
