Chutzpah, as I understand it, is a Yiddish word meaning someone who goes way beyond "damn cheek."
It's like someone who smears horse poo on your front door - then has the brass neck to charge you double the price to clean it off, and take you to a small claims court afterwards for his dry cleaning bill for an Armani suit he wasn't even wearing at the time - and goes on the TV and radio to say how he still has nightmares involving the stink of horse poo!
Some might raise a smile that the Jews were the ones to have this special word. There have been plenty of examples of chutzpah in the world of business, politics and 'celebrities' - one thinks of someone like "Robert Maxwell" (Jan Ludwig Hoch) who painted himself as a world leader, socialist and friend to the working man - when in reality he was simply a greedy capitalist, Mossad-agent and one of the biggest thieves of his age (he robbed thousands of pensioners of their Mirror Group pensions, leaving them destitute).
It takes a mix of ruthlessness, smarm and charisma to truly pull off grand acts of chutzpah and there are relatively few who can do it convincingly - and get away with it.
Oh many try - especially in the worlds of business and politics. We all know (or know of!) more than a few fly-by-night cowboys who move from one get-rich-quick scam to the next, the kind of people who would steal a granny's purse, take the money, then hand in the empty purse to much acclaim as a good citizen.
Now we have (perhaps) the greatest living practitioner of chutzpah about to move off to his next scam.
But before I cover that, let's look at what he's done most recently and how he's pulled it off (beginning your pardon ma'am).
I refer of course to the lawyer (why have so many shysters got law degrees in their back-pockets?) Anthony Blair QC.
This is a man who lied his way to one of the most unjust wars in history. You all know about the dodgy dossiers, the dead Dr Kelly, the roughshod treatment of the UN votes, resolutions and weapons-inspectors and so on - ad nauseum.
Yes, St. Anthony of Westminster has a lot of innocent blood on his hands: but not just in Iraq.
Yesterday the media told us that abortions in the UK had risen by 4% last year. I think the figure is now circa 160,000 dead babies each and every year.
St. Anthony of Westminster is rumoured to be converting to Catholicism after he's left his current job (which begs the question - why wait? Surely if you believe something is true, whether Catholicism, Islam or even the Wiccan religion why would you have to wait until you relinquish your present job?)
But let's skip that point. Even if St Anthony doesn't convert (and a priest close to his family claims St Anthony wants to become a deacon in the RC Church!) he still claims to have "strong Christian beliefs" and no doubt there are many Anglicans who feel likewise.
The question here is that should such a person - with his strong Christian convictions who is known to attend (though not partake) in the Catholic Mass - rule a regime in which abortion is increasing (and promoted!).
Moreover, should a Christian have used the Parliament Act to push through changes to the law to promote homosexuality and so-called "rights" for homosexuals?
The Parliament Act has only been used four times, three of them by St Anthony in his Downing Street Vicarage. According to Wikipedia those four times are:
- War Crimes Act 1991, which extended jurisdiction of UK courts to acts committed on behalf of Nazi Germany during the Second World War (the only time that the Parliament Acts have been used by a Conservative government).
- European Parliamentary Elections Act 1999, which changed the system of elections to the European Parliament from first past the post to a form of proportional representation.
- Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 2000, which equalised the age of consent for male homosexual sexual activities with that for heterosexual and lesbian sexual activities at 16.
- Hunting Act 2004, which prohibited hare coursing and (subject to some exceptions) all hunting of wild mammals (particularly foxes) with dogs after early 2005.
Now why would a "committed Christian" use such strong arm tactics to give homosexuals the right to bugger 16 year old boys?
As an aside - look at those four usages of the Parliament Act.
They speak volumes about the abuse of any vestige of real democracy by the politrickians to push their totalitarianism for vested interests against common sense.According to journalists, St Anthony of Westminster now begins each of his 'Prime Ministers Question Time' session in the House of Commons (each Wednesday) by reading a list of the servicemen who've given their lives in his wars.
This is gold-plated chutzpah for the following reasons:
1. It is an attempt to solemnise the proceedings - which should be about the cut and thrust of debate and the bringing-to-book one of the most sly Prime Ministers ever.
2. He is responsible for their deaths. Would anyone else guilty of murder (or at least manslaughter) dare to be so bold?
3. He has yet to read out lists of the Iraqi and/or Afghan innocents who have died. Let's assume he doesn't know their names - but not even a head-count.
War criminal is not too strong a term. It is what St Anthony is. He embarked on an illegal war, on highly questionable pretexts, on the coattails of the American Neo-Con brigade.
His actions have killed more British people than any "terrorists" (Muslim or otherwise), yet this mass-murderer, this apologist for homosexuality, this leader who acquiesces in mass-abortion of the innocents still tries to paint himself as a "good Christian" and a peace-maker.
So what is next for St Anthony of Westminster?
Well as I said there is already talk of him becoming a deacon in the RC Church. Imagine having a war criminal at your wedding or funeral? And would he, as someone who gave the thumbs up to the abortion of at least a million babies in his 10-year-reign, be barred from communion (an idea promoted by Church leaders in Scotland and Wales).
But there's more (just when you thought your vomit bucket was full, fit to burst).
There have been two further moves for St Anthony mooted.
One is as the new President of the European Union (and don't get me started on the EU liars and their chutzpah in pushing through their new constitution by the back door!).
Imagine Gordon Brown taking over as PM only to find his real boss, at the head of the EU, one Anthony Blair!!!
Zoiks!
Imagine Blair the Europhile given this peachy job as a reward for all his years of keeping us in thrall to the EUrocrats?
There's more though. The American media broke a story yesterday that St Anthony might become the peace envoy to the Middle East, acting on behalf of the EU, USA, Russia...
Imagine that?!?!
The man who started an illegal war for Israeli interests which has resulted in hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis being touted in Palestine as a
"man of peace."That really is the cherry on the cake. The fact that the idea is even being contemplated by Bush and Co., let alone leaked to the media as a good idea, just shows us what a bubble these people live in.
And we all thought it was bad enough when Blair sent the Jewish Lord Levy (currently at the centre of the 'cash for honours' scandal) as his 'envoy to the Middle East.'
Incidentally, £6K of tax-payers money was used to pay for Lord Levy's leaving party. What a great use of your - and my - money!
So as St Anthony seems to have finished his world tour (while he lectures us about our "carbon footprints"!) and has said his final farewells to his cabinet colleagues we must be prepared to see where he will pop up next.
What juicy directorships will he take? What church will he attempt to fool into forgiving crimes he has never even apologised for, and never sought to right any of the wrongs? What post will he take on the behalf of the EU or Mr. Bush?
Tony Blair QC is a war criminal. Tony Blair QC has the blood of over a million babies on his hands. Tony Blair QC has rail-roaded all manner of anti-family and anti-national laws onto the statute books.Yesterday he managed to read out more names of dead servicemen in an air of great solemnity.
Never was a man born who more fitted the Yiddish word chutzpah so well.Links:
