Wikipedia: Imperialism
Imperialism is considered the control by one state of other territories. Through political or more often military means (direct imperialism), the imperial power may take over the government of a particular territory, or through economic processes (indirect imperialism), in which the concerned region is officially self-governing but linked to the imperial power by (often unequal) trade relations. Furthermore, the notion of cultural imperialism is indicated by “existing or traditional ways of life and ways of thinking [that] are subordinated to the culture of the imperialists.”

Anyone want a Demonic Nightmare After Christmas?

Consider this an open challenge to anyone and everyone, to watch this video I saw, and not be creeped out by it. (I'm NOT embedding it because I never want to see it again in my entire life)

It's 3.30am here and I'm writing this post 'cause I can't sleep. The reason being that I was unfortunate enough to randomly click on the video of which I speak. Now I don't care what you think of the opinions offered by those who have seen it, including myself. I challenge you, whatever your views, to watch it and not be affected in some way by it.

I saw it at midnight or so and I swear it's really messed with me. I got chills, that feeling something is behind you, wanted to keep the lights on, etc. Can't sleep - clowns will eat me (that's from The Simpsons incase you don't know, lol)

But seriously, consider watching it. Creepiest thing you've ever seen, with a really strange evil vibe - and I'm no regular to speaking of such things as 'vibes'.

Link below. But read some of the comments before you do watch it. I am not responsible for any possible effect to your psyche or wellbeing caused by the video. It's not just me that found it deeply disturbing - and I can't fully explain why.

Link to the comments page, from which you can click through to the video if you want

If the interpretations put forth by others make you spew with cognitively dissonant laughter, and you think you can explain the video in more 'conventional' terms, there is a $25000 reward (read video description) to anyone who can debunk/make a replica of the video using camera trickery. So if you think I'm foolish to be affected by that which is 'obviously fake', then why not make some money for being right about that.

To quote the video uploader from the comments page:

There is still a $25,000 reward to anyone who can reproduce the imagery in this film. We believe this footage is absolutely 100% authentic. If someone can show us how this was done, with a demonstration, not just youtube comments about bad quality, the money is yours. Talk is cheap, as they say, but if someone can show us, that's worth the money.

So far nobody has claimed it.

I've seen plenty of 'reptillian' videos, most of which I would say serve solely as entertainment (likewise things about demons, possession etc), but I'm telling you, there's something real to this one. I offer no answers on the topic, merely more questions unfortunately.

Christmas, with Snow too!

Merry Christmas to you all!

Here's some photos I took just yesterday. Since the snow hadn't all melted away yet*, I thought yesterday I'd take the rare opportunity to have a mud-free meander around nature's domain. Fortunately there are no coyotes living in northern England, just blackbirds. You can see one of them 13th picture in, just left of centre, mostly they fly away before you get the camera aimed.

Also, one other thing, is that I was - as usual - treated to the occasional sound of a gunshot from nearby farms. Hunting. It's good to know not all guns are illegal in the Soviet UK.



Put your feet up, keep warm, and prepare for the unholy assault on your personal liberty to resume in 2010.

*actually I speak too soon. Last night we got another inch or two of the stuff...global warming at work I tell you...Schöne (weiße) Weinachten alles!

The Debt Star

Public sector borrowing hits record high, but instead of bringing our troops home we'd rather play Dress The Action Man with them


Classic John Bird and John Fortune (of Bremner, Bird and Fortune) spoof interview on the financial collapse. Saw this on TV back when it was first on. Which is which? I had to look it up, but Bird is the one on the right. Anyway, I always enjoyed this show, original and genius.



And here's one spoofing the Army top brass:

Could the new world currency be...gold?

Remember, when Bretton Woods was first introduced, the USD was returned to a gold standard for a few decades as a compromise

United Nations issues gold coins

Well it's better than the fiat SDRs I guess.

http://matrixgreatescape.wordpress.com/2009/07/11/welcome-the-new-world-currency/

The idea of a global currency is of course nothing new or unexpected, but I remember a few months ago the Russians floated the idea of having a global gold currency. Now, understand that from the elites' point of view, having a commodity currency of any kind is undesirable since it's a lot harder to debase in order to steal ordinary peoples' wealth. So, just like when Bretton Woods was introduced, any shift to a gold standard would be temporary, just to get people to support a global currency. Though from TPTB's point of view, it may be seen as a necessary compromise on the path to globalised poverty.

I for one would welcome any shift to gold, but be wary, the Ponzi masters who run global finance will probably find some way of making it look as if a currency is backed by gold when it in fact is not. I guess the only way to know you really have gold or any commodity, is to physically be holding it. Even then, you may want to double check, the tricksters might still have managed to pull the wool over your eyes.

In the meantime, let's discuss the benefits of fiat finance shall we? I've got my printing press all fired up, ready to 'make some money'...and oh wait, that would be 'illegal'. Why? Because I'm 'counterfeiting'. BoE and Fed, aren't you counterfeiting too? Oh no, you're 'stabilising currency value', 'quantitative easing', and 'stimulating the economy'. Of course you are. Ahem. If printing copies of money stimulates the economy, why can't I do it too?

After all, I only want to help...

A couple of Censored News Stories about Arabs

We start with a luxury, brand new, $200 million French airbus. Plus one all-Arab crew. What could possibly go wrong? This made me laugh so much. But can you believe, apparently it isn't being reported because it might be hurtful to Arabs? Shows how racist the media is...I didn't think it mattered they were Arabs, I was just laughing at l'absurdite of it all! Sacre bleu mon ami! (Okay so maybe it being French had some effect I admit)


above story via Phekkwitz Ahoy!!!

below story via Scunnert Nation

Here's one to get the indigenous Brits outraged. But be wary, the media likes to stoke the flames of culture war, so that you spend your time at each others' throats instead of the government's. Either way, this is going to go on until the white people get mad enough - give it time Muslims, stop your provocateuring ASAP to prevent this - and support for...er...less politically correct viewpoints may prevail.

This is NOT what I want to happen and it is avoidable. But you've got to understand that government and media WANT this to happen as a last resort if people start getting mad at their government that has taken everything from them. BNP and Jihadis brawling in the streets while Lord Rothschild pours another glass of mature rosé blood. Is it what you really want?



Political correctness is evil. Not just because of how right-wingers criticise it, though they generally get it right to an extent, but because it is actually designed to CREATE racial, gender, cultural etc divisions, and prevent people from uniting. Make no mistake, and this is what the critics sometimes get wrong, it is not there to stop racial division, but to sow it.

The answer to political correctness is to stand behind freedom rather than equality. There is a big difference between those two things, the latter depending on the former. It is good to have equal opportunity, but if we are merely bound by an equal weight of state-imposed chains then what's the point in striving for politically correct equality. Get it?

Huh! Downloading In The Name Of...

Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses


The purpose of this post is basically a big middle finger to the X Factor corporate machine that constitutes a large part of the agenda to dumb down society through media, especially music.

Well, the Internet protest vote was successful, and this year Granny will be waking up to Rage Against the Machine's Killing In The Name on Christmas morning. How about that! It gives me much joy. Tom Morello of RATM described it as follows: "THE ANARCHY CHRISTMAS MIRACLE OF 2009!!!! THANKYOU. The people united can never be defeated."

What a story...a popular movement amongst Brits on the web, rose up to smash the monopoly held by Simon Cowell over our charts. Okay so it's not a revolt against the BoE corporate debt slaving monopoly over the monetary system, but it's a start.

I always get mad whenever hearing that rubbish spewed forth by reality TV here-now-gone-tomorrow clowns, and wonder why on earth do some people want to pay to put up with this crap? Apparently I am not the only one with this sentiment. Some may say that it's a ploy since RATM are also signed to a corporate record label, and to a degree I understand this, but it's the message of the music, not who made it, that matters.

When would you EVER hear a Simon Cowell groomed domesticated singing puppet inform their audience:
"F*** you, I won't do what you tell me!"

NEVER. That's the point. And we need a little more of this kind of spirit, even if we have to rely on anti-establishment music...by the way, art of all kinds has a huge influence on people in ways words often do not.

I found this whole saga entertaining, but it also illustrates the power of the Internet. In the words of RATM, the web "gave the power to the have-nots...and then came the shot". Now of course they were talking about MLK (in their song Wake Up). But anything that empowers people gets shot down. Hence the attempts by governments around the world to shut down freedom of expression on the Internet. What can we do about this?

Why, we can let the censors know:
F*** YOU, I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!!!
Amen.

Snow in Britain ("Weather is not climate")

It is rare to get any significant snowfall where I live, definitely to do so prior to Christmas is unusual at least within my lifetime.

It should be noted, of course, that I am living in a relatively low-lying area, and generally on the hills locally there is notably more snow than where I am. But I digress.

I thought I'd conduct a little unscientific measurement of the depth of aforementioned flaked stuff just because it seemed unusually deep, and it had been snowing intermittently for two days (I took these photos about 24hrs ago, from when I am writing this)

The depth of snowfall illustrated by the fresh car tracks...kind of reminds me of overhead shots of spaghetti junction. BTW the yellow colour is from the street lighting, for all the other photos my camera provides the light.


My ruler, yes a regular 12 inch/30cm ruler, but special 'cause it is Roman-themed with emperors on the back! What an outrageous gimmick :D

Stuck in the snow on my drive...the only disturbance in the snow is where I have walked, no cheating by making a big pile o' snow...the depth is about 8.5 cms, or 3.4 inches:

Thought I'd take a second measurement from my garden, lo and behold it reads an even deeper 10cms or 4 inches:


And look, poor Titus is shivering! It never used to be like this back in the good old days when the Romans ruled Briton, and the climate was so warm they grew vineyards here, eh? ;)

The "Weather Is Not Climate" hypocrisy

I thought this was the opportune time to comment on how pro-manmade global warming theory people often put forward the talking point 'weather is not climate' in the face of recent cooling trends in the last few years. Now of course, it is correct that individual weather events are insignificant in the much larger timescales that constitute climate. But it is one of the great hypocrisies of the pro-AGW argument!

They also say that heatwaves, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, droughts, and other 'extreme weather events' are becoming, or will become, worse and more common due to manmade climate change. Whenever there is a heatwave or a flood, the AGW propaganda comes out in full force. Yet at the same time they dismiss snowfall and unusually cold temperatures as insignificant, the double standards being there for all to see.

Edit: I guess that is why, since 'global warming' has largely been discarded, and 'climate change' is growing old, the new term is 'climate instability'. The new propaganda is that any unusual weather or climate event is manmade, caused by co2. Ludicrous. You can only keep the zombies on board for so long until they awaken, I guess...

Israel wants to boycott British goods?

Ooh, this one gave me a laugh. I'm scared now. There's how many, 7.4 million people in Israel? That's right, my Talmudic friends. Ditch the produce of the filthy Goyim.

You don't need the West anyway...after all, if the Americans ever realise they literally fund billions every year to keep Apartheid Israel afloat, and they either go bankrupt or demand their government stops showering aforementioned Israel with the green stuff, you'll be just fine won't you. Won't you? After all you are The Only Democratic State In The Middle East...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/israel/6834453/Israeli-MPs-call-for-boycott-of-British-goods.html

I quote from the article:
"Mrs Tirosh, whose party is regarded as centrist, also claimed that Britain's actions were tantamount to acknowledging the existence of a Palestinian state and called on Israeli officials to express their disgust by avoiding British airlines."

WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PALESTINIAN STATE???
What the hell did she say? Isn't the whole Israeli argument about their 'right to exist' based on acknowledging the reality that anything else would require ethnic cleansing? And therefore, logically, the Palestinians also have a right to exist, at least in the Israeli rhetoric anyway? The lies and double standards of Zionism know no bounds!

We did participate in the Iraqi Holocaust, so in a way I would actually would agree with the justification for the boycott if it wasn't for the fact that the people calling for it are even bigger mass murderers than our government is.

Do we even produce anything of note in Britain today anyway? Everything we used to make now comes from China or India. Cars gone, shipbuilding gone, just what is it that you are planning on boycotting, Israelis? Teabags? Politicians are the only thing of ours that your bankster masters buy. For example see this list of where US congress travels...#1 foreign destination is Israel.

Now, if you want to boycott Nazi goods, then here is a better recommendation - boycott Israel! The only modern day state that creates living replicas of the Warsaw Ghetto. Dein papieren, bitte.

If you want to know that your money isn't going to Reserve Battalion 101...er...the Israel "Defence" Forces, then a simple thing to do I believe is to take a look-see at the barcode of whatever you're buying, and if it starts with "729" that signifies it is an Israeli product.

Crucially, produce from the Occupied Territories is not always clearly labelled as such - buying such things is akin to purchasing wheat from the great farms to the East that Hitler envisioned when he talked of 'Lebensraum'. Subsidising genocide and ethnic cleansing.

The plot thickens, British readers.
"With the UK importing at least two thirds of Israeli produce, civic society within the UK has the responsiblity to consider the ethics of purchasing such produce." - Palestine Israel Ethical Shopping Initiative

TWO THIRDS?

Why would Israel want to provoke further boycott action then? Are they insane? Why would they make statements calling for a boycott of British goods, statements that pissed me off enough to write this post, when we are two thirds of their market?

Well in that case, bring on the trade war you buffoons. I don't buy anything Israeli made, nor do I plan to. But I guess you aren't that bothered, seeing as how you rely on using our corrupt governments (both in Europe and America) to steal our money via 'aid' instead. Hypocrites.

More on the Apartheid Israeli Welfare Queen:

Israel wants the Germans to GIVE them warships FOR FREE. It would be anti-Semitic to refuse wouldn't it? No doubt the Germans need to make up for the Holocaust, even if Israel has no relation to the Holocaust and just invokes it whenever necessary to get sympathy, so if they don't comply it's a sign they hate Jews, even though most Jews don't live in Israel and many (both Israeli and non-Israeli) disapprove of Israel's actions.

Oh no Iran! Can't have our neighbours buying things to defend themselves from our 'necessary' air operations now, can we? (Only Israel is allowed to whine over a neighbouring country buying DEFENSIVE weapon systems - the horror! All Arab states should bow down and let Israel build big walls around them then repeatedly bomb them then pose as peacemaker afterwards, just like Israel does with what remains of Palestine)

Israel wants laws of war changed - The 'damning' Goldstone report accused, correctly, both sides of war crimes in Gaza, and that is just anti-Semitic! Doesn't matter, even if the goy...sorry old habit...guy writing the report is a Jew himself, he still hates Jews, he is a self-hating Jew!

US Foreign Aid To Israel - should be something of an eye opener. But we need to give Israel billions of dollars a year so they can bomb little brown babies! It has to be done to keep God's Chosen Khazar People safe from the heathen hordes who do dangerous things like play football and go to school.

And why do the US continue to give generously so Israel can give death generously? Why, because loads of their representatives are Israeli-American dual citizens! No conflict of interest there. Imagine if they were Iranian-American. If even one of them was Iranian. The Christian Zionists (who think this is some great Godly crusade 'gainst the heathen Mooslims) would go nuts. Hypocrites and cowards they are.

You see, everyone who pays attention and sees the slow-bleed genocide occurring in Palestine, it's not the genocide they hate, nor is it the yellow-star 'dein papieren bitte' apartheid, it's Jews. Repeat after me until brain is washed. They hate Jews. They like Nazis. They hate Jews...

It's funny that Israel always tries to use the memory of Nazi Germany as a smokescreen for PR purposes, because frankly...nowhere else in the world reminds me more of Nazi Germany, than Zionist Israel. And it isn't just me that draws these paralells.
