Michael Gove: No Answers for a Failed Education System

The drippingly wet frighteningly Zionist Tory shadow education minister Michael Gove was on the Andrew Marr show this morning promoting another Tory education policy.

Right: Michael Gove, the Tories' education action man.

He attacked "fundamentalist" schools (and he specifically said non-Muslim ones) and stated that schools would not be allowed to teach 'Creationism' because they must stick to "what we know to be scientific fact."

The Zionist Gove might like to present his thesis then. Can he show us the missing link?

How interesting that the Tories are putting forward a state-sponsored credo that we must all adhere to.

So we can't question the evolutionary theory (not fact Mr. Gove).

Can we question any aspect of history? Was the Gunpowder Plot a government conspiracy? Was 911 an inside job? Why didn't we declare war on Russia for invading Poland (twice!) in WW2? Was the Pearl Harbour attack known in advance? Did the Communists kill 100 million? Did the Nazis kill 6 million Jews?

Or will we have a state-sanctioned version of history that we are not allowed to question?

And what of social studies? Will we be able to question the validity of the homosexual "lifestyle?" And what of immigration and multi-racism? Will teachers be forced to extol all the many benefits (sic) of mass coloured immigration?

I thought the Tories were supposed to be about small government, yet here we have a clear example of how the socialist germ, the nanny-state infection, has entered the political class, and they are seeking to control what our children are taught so that they become "model citizens" in the modern multi-racial, consumerist, Zionist, bankrupt Britain.

But what was Gove on Marr's show to promote other than his scientific expertise and Bolshevik style of education-policy?

This time they want to give parents the powers to open new schools.

Schools are failing you see in the much-improved, vastly enriched (thanks to immigration) modern Britain.

So the Tories, rather than grab the bull by the horns and sort out a failing society and a crumbling education system want to give parents the power to open new schools!

Less children are being born (no idea to tackle the abortion crisis) and despite the vast number of immigrant families and their offspring, numerically we don't need new schools.

This is the Tories ignoring existing problems and trying to be "exciting" and "innovative."

What it really is, is moral cowardice in the extreme.

They won't give schools a Christian ethos (that is why parents bend over backwards to get their kids into Anglican and Catholic schools). A very simple matter to fix.

They won't tackle our immigration/multi-culti crisis which has seen the character of many inner city schools change, with white flight leaving many schools under-performing. A simple resettlement programme with funds for schools and colleges in host nations would resolve this.

They won't tackle the violence and chaos in some schools by insisting on a return to respect for teachers, a strict uniform code, and giving teachers the powers to deal with unruly children (the "I know my rights" generation, who know nothing of duty).

We don't need new buildings, new ideas, new expenditure.

It is typical Tory cowardice. They are so busy papering over the cracks of what they termed Broken Britain, they should know that when the cracks are so deep they need proper treatment!

Furthermore, if the above 3 issues are tackled (Christian ethos, Resettlement of migrants and their offspring, and discipline in schools) alongside good resources and ideas such as targeting school leavers to needed industries and skills, we won't have to put up with the nonsensical idea that we need to import the workers with the skills our economy needs.

Instead of insisting on near 50% university attendance and whooping over better GCSE results, why aren't we targeting school leavers for the economy?

Those in university would be pushed towards courses that will benefit the economy - the doctors, engineers, mathematicians, scientists and other trained professionals that we need.

For those who leave school with GCSEs, why on earth aren't we teaching them the skills the economy needs on a local basis? Mechanics, plumbers, plasterers, builders, electricians and so forth. Skills that can give a steady and healthy income.

A good education, as well as preparing a young adult for the wide world, should primarily be looking at the skill level of the individual and preparing that person for a role in the economy that will benefit the individual, the economy, the community and the nation.

If we have 50,000 people leaving university this year with first class degrees in media studies the government will look on it as a success. More youngsters achieving, more people in university and more people achieving their educational goals.

In reality it is a huge failure.

Taxes have been spent (and the students put in debt) to get a pretty meaningless piece of paper which doesn't help them get a job (or better still, start a business) and they will for the most part be over-qualified factory workers, office workers or shelf-stackers.

Tony Blair offered "education, education, education."

But without tackling the ethos, racial-character and discipline of schools it is meaningless. And unless education is targeted to achieving results for the individual and society, we will always have the ridiculous scenario where billions of our tax pounds are poured into schools to give us more over-qualified unemployed graduates whilst the politicians say we "need" skilled immigrants.

Don't they know how to deliver the skilled school and uni leavers that we need?

Unless they do "education, education, education" is just another empty NuLab slogan, and the Tory idea of opening new schools will achieve absolutely nothing.

Without the ability to see the problems, and moreover the resolve to tackle and solve them, all the sloganeering, all the imported ideas, and all the empty gesture politics in the world will not solve the crisis in our schools.

It is a cliché, but the youth are our future. That is self-evident.

The sad thing is that generation by generation the UK plc is getting worse. The education system is a large part of the problem - and the politicians do not want to fix it, because by fixing it they would help create a better generation - a generation that might see through their lies, corruption, greed, cowardice, betrayal and treachery.

Mr. Gove might mislabel me a fundamentalist. Only in the sense that I am fundamentally right, and he is fundamentally flawed. Unless he tackles the fundamental flaws in his outlook and in the school system, we will continue to have parents desperate to get their children into Christian schools (parents like the Millibands no less!) to try and escape the nightmare that more and more state schools are becoming.

I have long said that politicians are not fit to pass laws that effect the bulk of us. They are the lawyer, privately-educated class (ModCon, NULab and all the rest of them!).

They use private schools and private health-care whilst dictating to the rest of us what our schools are like and what our hospitals are like.

Mr. Gove is typical of this class, and he and his ModCon party will offer nothing substantially different from the failure of NuLab which had the advantage of huge tax income during the boom years (the years when Gordon Brown assured us he had done away with 'Boom and Bust').

Whatever Mr. Gove promises us will be more wasted opportunities that fail to address the underlying problems because, as with the banking crisis, usury, taxation and the like, the Tory Party is tied into the system that creates the problems in the first place.

National Revolution anyone?

====================

P.S. New members of the Conservative Friends of Israel get a free copy of Michael Gove's 'Celcius 7/7.' Gove is part of the loose conspiracy that spans most parties from NuLab to the NuBNP which says most of our problems arise from militant Islam, a convenient/created fig leaf for the real culprits, the NWO Masonic elite.

Channel 4's BNP/NF Documentary: Young, Angry & White: A Response

The Young, Angry and White documentary on Channel 4 tonight was interesting.

The young man - Kieran - came across as intelligent, well-humoured and (dare I say?) "normal."

Unlike Channel 4's previous offerings (especially Young Nazi and Proud) there were no semi-naked posing, no half-mental "I wish I lived in Hitler's time" meanderings or other nutty offerings from a wannabe fuhrer.

The voice-over tried to justify the protagonist's 'racism' via all sorts of psycho-babble (you see the militant left see anyone who is "racist" or "anti-Semitic" as quite literally mad) because in their world they simply cannot see that any people - let alone European, White Christians - wish to simply live in peace amongst their own kith and kin.

It's not about hatred, superiority or inferiority on any side.

It is purely about being with our own people and not having to mop up the mess of a failed multi-culti experiment which has not "enriched" us in any way!

Are Cornish fishermen culturally destitute? Is the Highland crofter poor in his life experience? Was the Berkshire small-holder bereft of any self-fulfillment? Is the Welsh cafe-owner robbed of a heritage, of a sense of belonging? Has the Lancastrian mother been denying her children a birthright?

I see this idea of immigration "enriching" us not only materially wrong (it has enriched the bosses who use immigrants to undercut wages), but culturally, spiritually and in almost every other feasible way. It is trying to say that our own culture(s) are poor, are weak, are malnourishing our children and offer nothing for the future.

And if (as most politiocians opine) it is just about food and music can't we import that? Can't we watch that on TV if that is our desire?

Why did we have to give over our land to millions of non-Europeans on order to eat an occasional curry or listen to African music - if that is what is being sold to us?

I think Kieran has it right in this TV programme. We simply want what is ours. We had a healthy European multi-culturalism before and it worked fine, the cultures of Europe mixed well and we had Italian cafes, we had German churches, we had Irish pubs, we had French restaurants, we had Polish centres and much more besides.

The cultures of Europe can provide us with all we need, without being swamped by millions of people who do not share our European ancestry, our common faith and heritage, our core ideals.

A smattering of European settled communities worked well because there was just the right amount of assimilation, and just the right amount of traditional culture.

The non-Europeans meanwhile have come in their millions and separate or "assimilated" it is not working. The offspring, second and third generation, have no sense of their own identity and that breeds contempt, lawlessness and worse to the detriment of all. The multi-culti, multi-racial and multi-faith miasma is ripping away the innards of our identity, our sense of community, our sense of right and wrong, our sense of belonging.

Besides which, as I have always said to any rabid multi-racialist or red -- if it was right for the Indians to take back their country in the 1940s, why is it wrong for us to want to take back our own country in the 2010s?

If the enemies of nationhood say one is right and one is wrong then that shows their racism - that they are biased against us for being White, European and Christian and wanting our own land.

Is the Indian in India more deserving of his birthright than the Englishman in England?

Towards the end of the programme Kieran did, imho, come to the correct conclusion about the BNP.

If he wants to join a party that is opposed to race-mixing how can he join one that is now promoting integration and assimilation? That is simply counter-intuitive and counter-productive.

As for the hooded figures part way through the programme - I have to say I empathised with their view. It was clear and principled - with a solid anti-Capitalist stance (cosmopolitanism, consumerism et al) and a healthy anti-Communist position too.

My sole criticism would be the hoodies and scarves, I would say either ignore the enemy media, or if you must use it - put up a spokesman that is clean-cut, normal and doesn't need to hide. But each to his own, as I said what they actually put across had a resonance which appealed. It had the social-justice angle so often missing from those trying to ape right-wing Tories.

As a final point, near the end Kieran seemed to be questioning his future in nationalism, though I think this was more to do with the BNP's betrayal of any racialism, and he seemed to be settled more with the NF activists.

If he is still unsure - and maybe he will read this or a friend will pass it on - I would simply say, stick with it. There will always be times when you are defecated upon. There will be traitors and hypocrites. Parties will come and go - and let you down.

But remember that our cause is greater than any of those and you will also meet some of the most genuine people in our cause - who will remain friends for life beyond this or that organisation.

In short, to quote a certain long-haired gent from the 1980s: don't let the bastards grind you down.

Media Lies on Iran Exposed

In light of today's BBC News reports on the Iranian celebrations of the Islamic Revolution -- which were so shockingly one-sided as to be ... er... shocking, the following piece is of great interest.

Just a couple of cherry-picked whoppers from the BBC's TV piece tonight:

1. The reporter admits the Twitter entries cannot be verified and says we cannot report them without verification: HAVING JUST REPORTED THEM!

In the previous demonstrations evidence came out that much twittering originated from America and Israel: a clear case of Neo-Cons/Zionists trying to twist the news reports.

2. Ahmadinajad was shown saying "if we wanted to make nukes we would" and it was intimated as a threat. Actually he was stating that they weren't making nukes. Only the spin put on it by the BBC made it sound in hindsight as though he were threatening to make nukes.

Anyhoo - here's the interesting piece:

AP Pulls Iran Nukes Story After Antiwar.com Exposé

via Antiwar.com Blog by Eric Garris on 2/9/10

Associated Press issued a story yesterday (Monday) entitled “Iran moves closer to nuke warhead capacity.” It was full of inaccurate and misleading information implying that Iran had admitted trying to enrich weapons-grade nuclear material.


The story appeared on a wide variety of media.

Last night, Antiwar.com news editor Jason Ditz issued a story refuting the AP story.

This morning, Associated Press recalled the story without explanation and replaced it with another, much less inflammatory story written by a different author.

It is important to question the mainstream media and not let them get away with helping the warmongers with their agenda.

Israeli director Yoav Shamir embarks on a provocative – and at times irreverent – quest to answer the question, “What is anti-Semitism today?” Does it remain a dangerous and immediate threat? Or is it a scare tactic used by right-wing Zionists to discredit their critics? Speaking with an array of people from across the political spectrum (including the head of the Anti-Defamation League and its fiercest critic, author Norman Finkelstein) and traveling to places like Auschwitz (alongside Israeli school kids) and Brooklyn (to explore reports of violence against Jews), Shamir discovers the realities of anti-Semitism today. His findings are shocking, enlightening and – surprisingly – often wryly funny.

Defamation, Must Be Seen!!
A Review by Gilad Atzmon

QUOTE

Friday, January 15, 2010 I urge every person on this planet to watch Yoav Shamir’s Defamation, a documentary about anti Semitism. The film is an astonishing exposure of the morbid conditions that entangle contemporary Jewish secular identity. It explores and ridicules the current notion of anti Semitism and the lobbies that are engaged in disseminating such a fear. It also exposes those Jewish ethnic campaigners who, for some reason, insist on shaping their identity around the phantasmic idea of being ‘racially’ chased, defamed or hated. Being an Israeli, Yoav Shamir, the man behind the film, has managed to infiltrate into Abe Foxman’s ADL. He even managed to join Foxman’s ‘international mission’. Shamir also followed an Israeli high school expedition to Auschwitz. He provides us with some intimate footage of Israeli youth being indoctrinated into collective anxiety and total neurosis just before they join the IDF. The general image we are left with is no less than grotesque. The film elaborates on the aggressive vulgar orchestrated amplification of fear amongst Israelis and Zionist Jews. “We are raised to believe that we are hated” says an Israeli high school girl on her way to a concentration camp. “ADL provide us with a platform to be Jewish”, says an American elder Jewish woman. Shamir provides us with an opportunity to see how badly young Israelis behave once in Poland. You watch their contempt to the local population and disrespect to Polish people and institutes. You can also watch Israelis project their hatred onto others. For some reason they are convinced that everyone out there is as merciless as they happen to be. The Israeli youngsters are saturated with fear, yet, they are having a good time, you can watch them having a party dancing in a bus all the way to a Auschwitz. You can see them munching crisps while watching a Musleman* prisoner drinking his watered-down soup. [* A physically exhausted prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp]. Dancing all the way to Auschwitz Shamir provides us with some unusual pictures of Abe Foxman mixing with world leaders. Proudly the ADL leader is insisting on selling his favourite product. Shamir presents the ADL’s deal in some very plain words. “We (the ADL) will be your allies in the American Congress, all we need in return is you fighting anti Semitism along with us”. Shamir realises that if Foxman and the ADL can guarantee a free pass to the American corridors of power, then the ‘anti Semitic’ message explored by the ‘Protocols of the Elders Of Zion’ is rather relevant and should be discussed in the open. We can see Foxman and his international mission talking to the Ukrainian President assuring him that the ADL could easily help him in America as long as he doesn’t “link the Holocaust and the Holodomor (the Ukrainian Holocaust)”. “It will be counter effective if you make such a link” Foxman tells the Ukrainian leader. One may wonder how come Foxman who makes a living out of Jewish disasters is so reluctant to allow the Ukrainians to reflect on their past or to share it with others? Good question indeed, I believe that primarily it is Jewish choseness that is coming into play here. Foxman doesn’t like his raison d'être i.e. the Holocaust, to be in competition, eclipsed or even being challenged by any other genocide. But it goes further, as Harvard Professor Yuri Slezkine's confirms in his master piece The Jewish Century, Jews were actually “Stalin's willing executioners”. Bolshevik Jews were largely involved in the genocidal crime against the Ukranian people and others. In case one wants to read about ‘Stalin's Jews’ in an Israeli Zionist paper. Ynet’s Sever Plocker is a good place to start. “We mustn't forget that some of the greatest murderers of modern times were Jewish” says Zionist Plocker. Abe Foxman must know it all. He insists that the Ukrainians should not link their horrifying past to the Shoa because he knows that too many of his people are directly involved in the crimes against the Ukrainian people. Interestingly enough, in the film, it is the orthodox Jews who defy the cry for anti Semitism. It is a Rabbi who argues that Abe Foxman creates anti Semitism “because he needs a job”. Another Rabbi argues that unlike orthodox Jews who intrinsically associate their Jewishness with Judaism, the cry for anti Semitism is a Jewish secular phenomenon that satisfies the secular Jew’s craving for identity. This indeed makes a lot of sense, once you take Judaism from the Jew all you are left with is ‘chicken soup’ and ‘anti Semitism’. Foxman had to choose whether to open a kosher delicatessen or chasing anti Semites. He clearly has chosen the latter. He and his crypto Zionists within the left and the media are making a career amplifying the fear of being chased. Unlike Uri Avneri and Norman Finkelstein who appear in the film and argue that anti Semitism is exaggerated, I actually believe that resentment towards Jewish politics is rising rapidly and constantly. However, I do differentiate between the Judeo centric notion of anti Semitism and political resentment towards Jewish ideology. I do not regard anti Jewish activity as a form of anti-Semitism or racial hatred for Jews are neither Semites nor do they form a racial continuum whatsoever. The rise of hatred towards any form of Jewish politics and Jewish lobbies is a reaction towards a tribal, chauvinist and supremacist ideology. If political Jews whether Zionist or ‘Jewish anti Zionists’ are concerned with themselves losing popularity, all they need to do, is to learn to look in the mirror. Self-reflection is liberation as long as one is courageous enough to face the truth. Maurice Pinay http://mauricepinay.blogspot.com/ QUOTE Wednesday, January 27, 2010 The film titled Defamation by Israeli director Yoav Shamir is flawed in many ways but it's important for the glimpse into the paranoia of Judaism it gives to outsiders. Despite the angle of the filmmaker, persecution paranoia is not a problem only for "secular" "Jews." The rabbis and their followers have been teaching their children the "law of nature" that "Esau hates Jacob" for millennia. Abe Foxman only runs a larger, more high-tech ghetto than the rabbis of old. While the filmmaker probes the "antisemitism" delusion, he cannot bring himself to contemplate the role which "antisemitism" paranoia has played in shaping the "Holocaust" "narrative" as it has come to be canonized, much less question any of the specific "Holocaust" claims to which the film makes reference--for instance, the Soviet wartime propaganda claim that, in the space of two days, 30,000 "Jews" dug their own grave and then waited to be shot to death at Babi Yar, an incredible tale unsupported by any material evidence. The claim that the evidence of such a massive crime could be entirely erased is even more incredible than the tale of the alleged crime itself. And, the ADL is only one of a myriad of organizations which serve the same ends. This film only scratches the surface of the delusion of Judaism's persecution complex, but it's a start. QUOTE Saturday, November 3, 2007 The Role of the Merchants of Venom The following is the preface to the pamphlet, "The Role of the Merchants of Venom" by Michael A. Hoffman II: "The purpose of this writing is to demonstrate that hatred of Judaic people is exactly the sentiment that the rabbis seek to induce in the goyim (gentiles). This secret tactic is propounded in the Zohar. If one hates Judaics or is part of an organization or subscribes to an ideology that has it's foundation in the hatred of Judaic people, one is fulfilling the expectations of the Talmudic and Kabbalistic rabbis and playing directly into their hands. Ultimately, "Jew haters" are puppets of rabbis; they are acting a role in a psychodrama scripted by the Gemara and the Kabbalah. Victory over Judaism and Zionism can only be achieved by detesting the wicked and murderous Judaic and Zionist ideologies and fearlessly exposing them for what they are, while loving those who have been deluded by or through them, including those who are advocates and practitioners of these most toxic of all ideologies..."

More Bad Laws Cannot Stop Slide to Amoral Britain

There are too many bad laws being passed say ex-Whitehall mandarins in a new report.

As if we didn't know that!

Every press headline brings in a new law.

Right: NuLab's laws on public demonstrations, the anti-Terror laws which give the police powers to stop people wearing political t-shirts, to expel people from government meetings and preventing demonstrations outside parliament are particularly bad laws, pushed through on the back of the questionable "9/11," "7/7." etc. as NuLab rushed to follow Bush's Neo-Con regime. Despite his blusterings Cameron's ModCons would have done the same.

We are living under a nanny state which reacts to media pressure with knee-jerk reaction laws as a means to placate the mass media and thus win headlines in a short term attempt to garner popular support (via the mass media!)

Which in turns leads me to the report* this week in which it was revealed that tolerance of homosexuality has risen in the last 20 odd (very odd!) years from circa 30% to circa 60%.

Lots of pundits and columnists asked the question "why?"

There is no doubt that the mass media played its part in this. For years the BBC in particular has operated as a kind of pink mafia, and one only has to hear of continued story-lines in Eastenders which promote homosexuality as (sick buckets at the ready) a "valid lifestyle choice" to understand that there has been a media campaign to liberalise attitudes.

Coming back to the "bad laws" scenario, another key aspect of the alleged change in 'social attitudes' was the New Labour repeal of Section 28 and all the pro-homosexual laws they passed, including the legalisation of what they hope will in effect become known as homosexual "marriage."

Whilst the government often finds it has no time for badly needed legislation, or more often to give sufficient time for proper and serious debate on matters as diverse as war, id cards, police powers, immigration, drugs, the banking system and similar issues.

Despite all this, the New Labour government miraculously found the time to pass law after law in favour of homosexuality.

With senior NuLab commissars recently admitting that they let hundreds of thousands of non-European immigrants flood in on purpose to socially engineer our society and undermine the national identity of the English in particular, playing fast and loose with the fabric of our communities to force through their own twisted racial dogmas, can we be in any doubt whatsoever that their insistence on pushing through homosexual laws, for the benefit of the circa 0.5% of the population that are practicing homosexuals, was yet another questionable and Bolshevik-style attempt to force through their Socialist Credo and use the weight of the law to back up an insidious mass media portrayal of homosexuality as "normal?"

In time history will judge New Labour as an evil regime. They forced an unwanted war on the people using a dodgy dossier and lies to parliament; they forced millions of immigrants on the country during their tenure, to forcibly change the face of the UK; and in order to socially engineer society and push their bastardised vision of "the family" they have passed unwanted and bad laws to act as the stick against the media's carrot, so that even Christian b&b owners are forced to let out double rooms to sodomites.

There are a lot of bad laws and a lot of bad decisions made by the politicians. But not all of them have been knee-jerk: many have been carefully thought through to promote the Zionist and Liberal ideals of New Labour.

The sad thing is that David Cameron has already made it clear that he supported and supports the war in Iraq. Furthermore all the Tories state the "great benefits" mass immigration has allegedly brought (more au pairs, more fancy restaurants, more cleaners - for MPs!). Cameron has also insisted that his plans for tax-incentives for families will include "civil partners" so in the modern Conservatives' regime a sodomite couple will be on a level par with a family bringing children into this world to pay the taxes that will pay for our future pensions.

In other words when NuLab are replaced by the ModCons, nothing will change. Economic policy may move a few degrees to the "right" (whilst staying in cahoots to the banksters and usury profiteers), but on Zionist wars, immigration and multi-culti, and on homosexuality you could slip a cigarette paper between the two.

We, as a society, are being pushed into cul-de-sac. We are the victims of New World Order (Bilderberger et al) experiments on immigration, liberalising social attitudes, continual war, abortion on demand and, as we saw with the character assassination of Dr Andrew Wakefield this week, growing vaccination campaigns as an excuse for mass medication.

The recent campaign against cervical cancer being a perfect case in point. There is evidence that in America the vaccination killed more children in the short term than the lives it would have saved in the long term!

The powers that be see us as cattle.

They herd us along via their mass media. Four legs good two legs bad has been replaced by similar chants. Immigration good, hatred bad. Homosexuality good, intolerance bad. Israel good, Libya/Syria/Iraq/Iran/and whoever next bad.

To mix metaphors, the emperor has no clothes.

The government is passing laws so that anyone who says the emperor is naked is in court on clothes-hatred charges. The media is showing programmes on how chic is the emperor's range, how it is de rigueur for anyone at the 'cutting edge' and how it is the veritable dernier cri of the fashion world (with occasional Panoramas and Dispatches on the twisted hatred of extremist Clothe-Deniers).

We now live in a state with far more police powers, far more big brother laws promoting immorality and amorality, far more social engineering ripping out the guts of the people, and the more lawlessness caused by the virtual breakdown of family life - the more powers they give the police (a police that cannot cope with the laws it already has, eg. muggings, burglaries, car crime, anti-social crimes are routinely not investigated).

Our politicians cannot break the circle. They cannot see that their 60s-style amoral codes have led to the lawlessness we see around us. They cannot see that mass immigration has fractured communities and led to a loss of identity which used to gel communities and make people look out for the 'common good' however imperfect. They cannot see that their attacks on the family and their financial promotion of single parents has led to an uncontrollable generation (especially in Afro-Caribbean families in cities like London). They cannot see that their "human rights" mania has led to an uncontrollable generation of schoolchildren who know all their "rights" (eg. that they cannot be physically punished) but know nothing of any social and communal responsibility.

Welcome to 2010, New World Order style.

It seems a mess, it seems an insurmountable challenge, and so it is whilst we have a controlled media and a corrupt political class using lawyer-speak to justify the complete betrayal of many generations following the self-sacrifice of our grandfathers in World War 2.

That said, the answers are quite simple and common sense. It just takes people with the gumption, the ideal of self-sacrifice, and men of goodwill who will fight for a just cause and not to fill their pockets (for such men are easily bought off by banksters, Zionist interests and similar).

Otherwise we face more lawlessness, more suffering, more collapse of an entire society.

Blair, Brown and all the others always say (in the shadow of their Neo-Con alliance) that their primary concern is the safety of the British people.

If that were truly the case they would act, and act now, to stop our slide into amorality, they would stop the wholesale murder of the Britons killed in the womb, they would reinvigorate the family to bring more children under the rule of a mum and a dad.

Of course these are all simplistic sound bytes, and would not solve every problem nor banish every crime; but we have to start somewhere. Nationalists have never said they can create a utopia (unlike Socialists), but we can create a society wherein morality is a norm; wherein the Common Good is at the centre of society; wherein Distributism give genuine opportunity for all and a sincere Social Justice (unlike NuLab who push a form of Bolshevism whilst making the gap between rich and poor bigger than ever before!).

Man's nature makes utopia impossible. That doesn't mean we must accept the naked emperor that is Britain today.

Tony Blair Advocates War With Israel!

How fascinating that in today's Iraq Enquiry the war criminal Tony Blair said that when it came to the proliferation of illegal WMDs by nations with a record of murder, attacking neighbours etc. (he meant Iraq) we should 'not take chances.'

Right: Like a Communist commissar, Mr Blair spouts his version of events, convinced that his twisted logic and political spin constitute the truth, despite what most people can see for themselves via dodgy dossiers, withdrawn weapons inspectors and a failed attempt at a UN resolution justifying invasion.

Funnily enough he then went on to warn about Iran, though of course Iran has not committed mass murder against its citizens, nor has it invaded neighbours, nor does it have illegal WMDs.

There is another Mid East country which does fill all those criteria however.

It has attacked its own citizens, it has committed mass murder, it has invaded its neighbours and it does have illegal WMDs in the shape of hidden nukes which it will not allow UN weapons inspectors to... erm... inspect (unlike Saddam funnily enough).

That terror state, that illegal WMD state, that mass murdering state is of course Israel.

So when, Mr Blair, can we expect the UK and USA to take action against Israel?

Weapons inspectors? Trade sanctions? Blockades? Perhaps an invasion?

After all Mr Blair, we shouldn't take any chances: that's your own criteria!

Funnily enough, the war criminal Blair did mention Israel at least once (please understand I watched the proceedings in between working). It was at a meeting held with Bush before thew war and Blair mentioned that they were on the phone to the Israelis a couple of times.

Fascinating.

So they are planning an illegal war against one state, on the pretext of non-existent WMDs, whilst conferring with (and propping up!) another state with an atrocious record and which does hold illegal WMDs.

Luckily Mr Blair has since moved on to various lucrative speaking engagements which have made him a millionaire many times over.

Oh... and working to bring peace to the Middle East! if you didn't laugh you'd cry!

Israel's Right to Exist, Terrorism and the UN

From Michele Renouf:

Here from London, we may have heard a first in the House of Lords during a well-attended seminar last night. Recorded by an authorised cameraman, someone (no surprise to Dr Zuroff on who that might have been!) was permitted by the Chairman to offer the last word from the floor (at 6.16 mins into part 10) : on why Israel has no right or need to exist and that neither does the privileged veto in the UN Security Council if there is ever to be an effective definition of causal "terrorist" as opposed to consequential "freedom fighter":

Equal Rights Commissars Enforce Stalinist Tyranny

EHRC – A TYRANNY WE CAN DO WITHOUT

For once the National Front can identify with the trials and tribulations of Nick Griffin in the attack being launched upon him by the Race tyrant Trevor Phillips and his fat, cash rich quango the Equality and Human Rights Commission. The NF is quite aware that such a vile attack on its membership requirements (and even its political policies with the result of this week’s court case against the BNP now known) that the EHRC and the Stalinist Phillips could easily direct their attentions to the Front. We agree totally with the BNP leadership that this is a politically motivated attack, and whatever its faults, the BNP leadership do not deserve it – they have every right to restrict their membership to ethnic British.

What is wrong however is the way the whole thing has been handled. Griffin has treated the whole very serious matter as a side show and in fact, the BNP Leadership have badly mishandled the whole matter. When the very basis of a Nationalist party’s membership criteria is threatened then the NF view is that EVERYTHING must take second place to the battle to preserve our right to decide who does or does not become a member. Membership of the NF is open to men and women of European descent and no others – and come what may the leadership of the NF is going to fight tooth and nail to make sure it stays that way.

The National Front is only about one tenth the size of the BNP and so its resources are more limited, but for 42+ years, the Front have had a policy of being an all White party and the NF WILL put everything to one side if the EHRC directs its attentions to it.

The BNP caved in – Griffin gave undertakings he wasn’t even asked for and has dug a hole which it is now impossible for the BNP to climb out of. Very shortly after its EGM, the BNP will officially be a multi-racial party.

Griffin has rallied his members in only one way – the usual stream of begging emails and letters for donations whose destination the NF fear is dubious to say the least.

What should the BNP have done? They should have fought tooth and nail! They should have had a continuous picket of the EHRC headquarters. They should have door stepped Phillips at all his public appearances. They should have fought in court from the very first minute of the preliminary hearings like a tigress looking after its cubs. Griffin claimed that the court case would bankrupt the BNP. Well firstly we could mention the fury currently going on over the BNP accounts – but putting that aside – what price being financially bankrupt if the outcome is losing the very reason for the party to exist in the first place?

Even worse, we now have a legal precedence with Griffin’s faster than light surrender to Tyrant Phillips which can impact on any current and future Nationalist groups in Britain.

The NF does not have vast financial resources and its manpower is growing but still relatively low compared to the BNP – yet the NF HAS the determination and willpower to FIGHT this shocking and evil attack on the right of a Nationalist party to decide its membership criteria. There are many ways to fight it too – and many arguments which should have been mustered in defence of an all British membership policy which have not even been looked at.

The NF is a party for the White Britons of our Nation. It will stay that way and come what may any attack on our freeborn right as Britons to decide who we wish and do not wish to associate with will be fought to the bitter end – for otherwise the NF itself would cease to exist. There is no other way but total resistance!

Iraq War's Illegality is Irrelevant to Neo Con David Aaronovitch

See last night's Newsnight (Tues 26th Jan) to see the arch Neo Con and (Former?) leftist David Aaronovitch state that the opinion of government lawyers that the invasion of Iraq was illegal was all but irrelevant.

Where has Aaronovitch the liberal gone? You know - the man who tells us how great multi-culti mass invasion is for us all!

Ever since the advent of the Neo Cons (almost, but not quite all, ex-leftist Jewish Zionists) at the time of the illegal Invasion of Iraq, these people have been busting a gut to justify the war crimes of their ilk - just as they always justify the war crimes of Israel.

It seems that everything that is racist is anathema to these people... except when it is in service of Israel and the Zionist States of America, of course!

The fact that the war against Iraq was quite clearly illegal and opposed by most people (not just in the UK!) as well as quite a few governments in Europe and beyond (remember French fries becoming "freedom fries?"), should matter!

Let's face it, if Germany's top lawyers said that their invasion of Poland was legal, would that make Mr. Aaronovitch accept that the Nuremberg trials will null and void? A victor's justice imposed in part by the Soviet Union which also invaded Poland in 1939 and 1944!

No, Mr Aaronovitch and all the Neo Cons and their fellow travellers think laws only apply if they do not impede their fight to make the world free of more governments which may be hostile to their interests.

Just as on Holocaust Memorial Day we are not supposed to remember the 100 Million victims of Communism in the 20th Century.

As Elizabeth Dilling made clear in her page-turner The Jewish Religion: Its Influence Today:

The next time when some Christian dupe tells you: “Socialism is not Jewish!,” for one thing, pull out the pamphlet “Jew and Non-Jew,” put out by the Reform Jewish “Union of American Hebrew Congregations” and their “Central Conference of American Rabbis” and read:

Socialism was originated by Jews; and today Jews play a leading role in its spread and interpretation.” (page 30).

There seems to be a pattern in the world of our would-be masters: ignore war crimes that benefit them, ignore genocide(s) that involve their ideological forebears.

From Katyn Forest to the Gulags, from Lebanon to the Gaza Strip. No Hollywood films, no British/American intervention, no lessons in schools, no memorials, no ceremonies.

Conspiracy anyone?

Catholic Bishop Decries Holohoax as Propaganda

UPDATE - Bishop Tadeusz Pieronek, one of Poland’s most prominent religious figures, is reported to have told an Italian Catholic news web site that the Holocaust was a "Jewish invention". The bishop says his remarks were “taken out of context” however.

"The Holocaust, as such, is a Jewish invention [invenzione ebraica]. We could just as well establish a day of remembrance to the numerous victims of communism, when Catholics and Christians were persecuted," he told the Pontifex.Roma web site on Sunday. (FC's emphasis)

In remarks that will outrage Jews the world over, Bishop Pieronek said that in his opinion the memory of the Holocaust is often used as a “propaganda weapon” by Israel.

The Krakow-based bishop said: “Undoubtedly, the majority of those who died in the concentration camps were Jews, but also on the list were Poles, Gypsies, Italians and Catholics. So do not steal this tragedy in the name of propaganda.”

“But they, the Jews, have a good press, because the powerful have the financial resources - extremely powerful with the unconditional support of the United States. And this promotes a kind of arrogance, which I consider to be unbearable,” Bishop Pieronek continued.

The bishop expressed his opinion that the Palestinians are victims of injustice at the hands of the Israelis.

“Seeing the photographs of the [Gaza] wall we can conclude that a colossal injustice has been committed against the Palestinians, who are treated like animals and their rights are being violated.”

“Let them establish [the international lobby] a Memorial Day for them also.”

Out of context

Bishop Pieronek, however, says the interview printed on the Italian web site bares little resemblance to the one that he gave the journalist.

“I have not seen the printed text of the interview, which I have given but have not authorized. But if I were to believe in what I hear from the media then it looks as though the final form of the interview was the idea of the journalist that I had spoken to, as the text is full of vague statements."

The controversy comes Just two days before Holocaust remembrance Day on January 27 and prime minister of Israel Benyamin Netanyahu’s visit to Poland for the 65 anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. (pg)

Holocaust Jewish Invention

Ed's note:

Listening to various rabbis, limp vicars and profiteers around Holohoax Memorial Day I was interested to note that whilst a few of them paid lip-service to Rwanda (failing to mention the role of Zionists in fomenting war over the mineral deposits there) there was no mention of the murder of circa 33 million Christian Ukrainians, organised by the Soviet regime which was mostly Jewish in its leadership, and via it's heavily Jewish commissar class. Are we trul;y to believe that 33 million Christian Ukrainians are of less importance than an alleged 6 million dead Jews? Isn't that racism?

Where are the people preaching on BBC channels about the danger of Communism, remembering the British war dead who fell in Korea against Chinese Communist troops, and equating Jewish hatred of Christians in the Talmud, via Soviet Russia to Gaza, East Jerusalem and the West Bank today?

The message seems to be that European and Arab Christians simply do not matter. isn't that called racism?

BNP Promotes Integration of Coloureds

The BNP has opened a new section for coloureds (and whites) who want non-Whites to be 'patriotic Brits' and INTEGRATE!!!

Right: The BNP is reportedly against Islam - yet welcomes with open arms any "Westernised" Sikhs, Hindus, Jews, Animists and yes even Muslims!!! Can we please get back to promoting White Nationalism and not some kind of bastardised Israeli anti-Jihadist pressure group politics? Is a veiled Muslim less acceptable than a Muslim in a Man United top?

Nationalists were always AGAINST integration.

When the NF in the 1980s [of which Griffin was a member/leader] worked with coloureds who were in favour of seperation and repatriation some said they were "selling out."

Not so - racial nationalists should be seen to work together to foster good relations and separate the races. Nothing could be more natural.

Now the BNP is asking for blacks who want to be "good Brits" to join up!

It is now high time for those racial nationalists who have been giving the multi-racial BNP the benefit of the doubt -- including those who scorned the NF's separatist stance in the 80s -- to say enough is enough.

No court in the land can force ANY party to give up racial separatism in favour of multi-racial integrationism.

No more excuses.

Daytime TV seeks Lebensraum by Invading Question Time

I don't know about screeching hordes protesting against Nick Griffin's appearance on the BBC's Question Time... where were the hordes protesting against the daytime sofa programme and bubblegum-TV presenter, Richard Madeley?

Was ever a man so under qualified to be on an allegedly serious news discussion programme?

Last night he claimed that everyone thought Saddam had WMDs when the war criminal Blair produced his "sexed-up" dossier.

Not so Mr. Madeley.

A large number of people knew this was spin based on lies.

Evidence had come out even from American intelligence circles that Saddam's weapons programme was a busted flush and that he posed no threat, furthermore that a war would create a recruiting sergeant for "extremists," "jihadists" or whatever you want to call them.

The BBC should hand its head in shame.

Mr Griffin underperformed and squirmed his way through Question Time. But at least he is a politician (albeit the usual private educated lawyer class) with some serious views.

What do the BBC think the likes of Madeley have to offer? It reminds one of Britney Spear's TV statement that we should all support the president, back in the Bush-era.

Of course we need normal folks on these programmes, offering a non-political (or anti-political) message, but please why not intelligent, campaigning, thorns-in-the-side people?

Left, right or indifferent. I would rather listen to 101 David Starkeys, George Galloways, Will Selfs, or even Shami Chakrabarti the civil libertarian (or dare I say even Melanie Phillips - just to see the audience rip her apart when she fawns over Israel!) than any number of daytime TV hosts or pop musicians.

So the next time you see a rent-a-mob screaming for blood just close your eyes for a moment and imagine anti-Madeley slogans on those placards!

Altogether now all you crusties:

Remember Kriss Donald Rally Glasgow, March 15th

Published by the National Front:

KRISS DONALD MEMORIAL RALLY GLASGOW 15^th March 2010
On the 15th of March 2004 a young lad named Kriss Donald was abducted, mutilated and murdered by a gang of Asian drug criminals, in Pollockshields Glasgow as the leader of the gang wanted to torture and kill a White victim.
This appalling case was subjected to the campaign of Institutionalised silence (for White victims only) by the UK media and even upon the conviction and imprisonment of the murderers, has still received little media attention.
The contrast is striking between the case of Steven Lawrence, who was murdered in Welling, South London, by person or persons unknown. (It is rumoured that Stephen's involvement in the drugs trade contributed to his death)
The government and media have declared - without evidence, witnesses or convictions, that Stephen Lawrence was murdered by "racists" - they have turned his murder into a "guiltfest" for their white middle class friends.
Kriss Donald’s mum has not been made an OBE - but Stephen Lawrence's dad has!
There will be a memorial rally for Kriss on Sunday 15th of March 2009 - five years since his brutal murder. The National Front will be providing a leading speaker. All Nationalists from whatever party are most welcome NF News has been told by the organisers.
Steven Lawrence was stabbed once by unknown persons.
Kriss Donald was kidnapped in a stolen car, castrated, had his eyeballs cut out, and was stabbed 14 times, he was then doused in petrol and left on a footpath to burn. This was done by a gang of Asian drug dealers, eventually convicted.
We must never forget this young man and the ordeal he suffered as a consequence of immigration.
We must also never forget the way that the media and government tried to keep this brutal racist murder a secret. BE THERE ON THE 15^th!

Support Horst Mahler - German Thought Crime Prisoner

Here is the tail end of email forwarded to FC concerning Horst Mahler:

He does, however, feel that many of his friends and supporters have abandoned him, going about their daily business without consideration for the enormous sacrifice that he has made, namely when considering his age, spending possibly the remainder of his life locked up.

Therefore, I would ask you to write him a card or a letter letting him know that he is not forgotten, and that the struggle for free speech continues!

Please be aware that owing to the severity of his "crime" his mail is censored. Only letters sent in envelopes that do not exceed A5 will be given to him. Also, only letters that are free of "thought crime" will be forwarded to the prisoner!

You can, of course, write matters of a personal nature- Horst Mahler is a generous and loving person and would be glad to hear from you, especially on his birthday!

Those wishing to support him financially may send him 5-10 Euros in a separate envelope marked: "Verwendungszweck: Sondergeld 1".

His address is:

The Banking Crisis: Usury Was/Is to Blame

It's All About Usury

by John Médaille

With all the turmoil in the financial industry, you would think that there would be a national conversation of money and lending. You would think that this would be a good time to re-examine the way we create money and the way we lend it. You would think, especially, that it would be a good time to review the subject of usury, especially since the credit card market is about to collapse in the same way the mortgage market did. But no, that conversation has not taken place.

Indeed, the last great economist to address the subject was J. M. Keynes, back in the 1930's. Keynes, who was no friend of the Church, surprised himself by finding that the Church's restrictions on usury made perfect economic sense, a sense ignored by classical economists:

"Provisions against usury are amongst the most ancient economic practices of which we have record. The destruction of the inducement to invest by an excessive liquidity preference was the outstanding evil, the prime impediment to the growth of wealth, in the ancient and medieval worlds. I was brought up to believe that the attitude of the Medieval Church to the rate of interest was inherently absurd, and that the subtle discussions aimed at distinguishing the return on money-loans from the return to active investment were merely jesuitical attempts to find a practical escape from a foolish theory. But I now read these discussions as an honest intellectual effort to keep separate what the classical theory has inextricably confused together, namely, the rate of interest and the marginal efficiency of capital." [ The General Theory , 351-2]

What Keynes is saying in this somewhat technical language is that when returns to pure loans are higher than returns to actual investments, you will have a problem; if you can make more money lending to consumers at 25% than to auto makers at 10%, then the money for making things will dry up, and loans will shift to consumption and speculation. We have often noted this problem in the pages of The Distributist Review , (see The Utopia of Usurers , Usury! , Usury: Wealth Without Work , and many other articles) but we can't honestly claim that we have made a big impression on the public. However, Thomas Geoghagen in the pages of Harper's Magazine , has written an indictment of the current system entitled “Infinite Debt: How unlimited interest rates destroyed the economy.”

There is an interesting parallel between the lifting of the usury laws and the abolishing of the abortion laws: both were accomplished not by democratic process, but by legislative fiat; in Marquette National Bank v. First of Omaha Service Corp. , a 1978 Supreme Court opinion, the court found that an 1864 law prohibited the states from enforcing usury laws in their own state if it was legal in another state. For all practical purposes, this ended usury laws.

The lifting of the usury laws had dire unintended consequences, one of which was the decline of manufacturing:

"It may be hard to grasp how the dismantling of usury laws might lead to the loss of our industrial base. But it's true: it led to the loss of our best middle-class jobs. Here's a little primer on how it happened. First, thanks to the uncapping of interest rates, we shifted capital into the financial sector, with its relatively high returns. Second, as we shifted capital out of globally competitive manufacturing, we ran bigger trade deficits. Third, as we ran bigger trade deficits, we required bigger inflows of foreign capital. We had “cheap money” flooding in from China, Saudi Arabia, and even the Fourth World. May God forgive us—we even had capital coming in from Honduras. Fourth, the banks got even more money, and they didn't even consider putting it back into manufacturing. They stuffed it into derivatives and other forms of gambling, because that's the kind of thing that got the “normal” big return; i.e., not 5 percent but 35 percent or even more."

But in addition to the economic effect, it had a profound effect on the moral character of the nation:

"The change in credit-card caps also had a bad effect on the moral character of the nation. Because interest rates were so high, the banks no longer wanted borrowers with good moral character. Look at the way lending has changed just since the time I was in law school in the early 1970s. Even then, the mantra of my teachers in contracts and commercial paper was: “The loan must be repaid!” I have a friend, a professor, who still quotes that refrain. But it's out of date. At interest rates of 25 percent, or 50 percent, or 500 percent, lenders don't really want the loan to be repaid—they want us to be irresponsible, or at least to have a certain amount of bad character."

One question, however, is why we were willing to oblige the bankers by displaying such a poor moral character. No doubt the convenience of the credit card was a factor, but there is more to it than that. One reason is that we had to. The shift in the economy from manufacturing to finance meant that workers were no longer able to bargain for wages through unions and other means. Since 1972, the median hourly wage has stagnated. We experienced a very odd phenomenon: productivity exploded, but wages remained the same. Obviously, there was not enough purchasing power to clear the markets. Workers responded in two ways. One was to work more hours and put more family members to work, with a devastation effect on family life. The other was to borrow more. Further, the best and brightest of our students no longer went into engineering or manufacturing, but into finance. We started to lose even the knowledge of how to make things. As Thomas Geoghagen points out, not only did financial companies account for 40% of corporate profits in 2003, (up from 18% in 1988) but this may understate the problem. Many “manufacturing” firms, like GM and GE, actually made their profits from their finance divisions. GM became a company that manufactured cars in order to make loans on them.

Our current bailout plans are mainly directed at the banks, the hedge funds, the insurance companies, and other financial institutions. But this will not work. Without restoring manufacturing, farming, mining, and other basic industries, we cannot rescue the economy. But we have the order exactly reversed. The bankers get an instant bailout, no questions asked, while manufacturers, like the Big Three, have to crawl over broken glass to get what amounts to “chump change” in the context of the overall “rescue” numbers. Moreover, “contracts” with the derivative traders of AIG are regarded as sacred and unbreakable, while union contracts are broken at will.

It is the habit of the modernists to despise the past, and so it is no surprise that a restriction which existed in most cultures from the time of the Babylonians to the time of Jimmy Carter would be overturned. Yet, even modern-ism posits some empiricism, actually looking at the effects of an action. It is now long enough to look at the effects of the Supreme Courts 1978 decision. And without revisiting this decision, we cannot fix the economy.

FC Note:

The above is interesting not least because it seeks to defend industry, something many Distributists are accused of ignoring or degrading. Of course Belloc did cover industry in his Essay on the Restoration of Property, espousing the ideal of workers' co-ops for large industries which cannot be based on the 'small is beautiful' model. from memory he gave the example of the railways.

On usury there is one correction needed to the above. Interest of 2% on an unproductive loan is still usury. e.g. a credit card charging 2% which a person uses to buy a coat - is still usury because the person has to pay back the debt plus 2% but is unlikely to earn any extra money from a coat he has bought to wear.

On the other hand a loan of £1 million made to an industry with a business plan to make £20 million in the first year, can charge 50% on the loan over a year because the loan is productive. That's not to say 50% is usual or acceptable to many - but an agreement fixed on a productive loan is not in and of itself usurious.

Of course this makes the above article even more relevant because the banks' profits (and their/our crisis) has arisen because they have placed priorities on unproductive loans - pure usury! - to people who can ill afford it, because they made more money out of that than (shudder!) investing in their own country, their own infrastructure, their own compatriots' skills etc.

Needless to add, this brings to the fore the simple fact that financiers have no national loyalty.

How else could any group of people who had brought a country to its knees and mired it in debt for generations say that if their bonuses were blocked for one year it would drive "the best" (ahem) bankers overseas?

The New Unhappy Lords have grown fat from usury's profits. We need to learn the lessons to avoid many a lean year.

UK Jewish Schools Have Identity Crisis

Whistleblowers show that the loyalty of some citizens is to a foreign state that carries out war crimes, holds illegal nukes, has murdered British citizens, some of whose leaders are wanted on war crimes charges in the UK, and threatens Britain militarily:

Whistleblowers say top Zionist institutions in unprecedented crisis

Britain's leading Jewish institutions are facing their worst crisis in living memory as their loyalty to the United Kingdom and support for basic universal principles of human rights and common decency come under growing scrutiny.

In recent weeks Redress Information & Analysis has been approached by a number of existing and former employees and volunteers of prominent Jewish bodies, all pointing to an acute internal crisis within their institutions.

US Tax Dollars Go to Jewish School That Promotes Genocide

This comes from an Israeli newspaper.

It seems that US tax-dollars are being funnelled to a rabbi who favours genocide, terrorism and Jewish racism. No front-page media stories here...

Haaretz newspaper report:

The White House condemns the torching of a mosque, yet respectable Americans contribute to a yeshiva whose rabbi said it's okay to kill gentile babies. It is no surprise that the American administration tacitly, if unenthusiastically, accepted the excuse that the map of national priority zones the cabinet approved on Sunday does not violate the decision to freeze construction in the settlements.

How can President Barack Obama object to furthering education in a settlement like Yitzhar, located in the heart of the West Bank? After all, his own tax revenues contribute to the flourishing of the Od Yosef Chai Shechem yeshiva, the settlement's crowning glory.

This is the same yeshiva whose rabbi said it is permissible to kill gentile babies because of "the future danger that will arise if they are allowed to grow into evil people like their parents." In his latest book, the head of the yeshiva, Yitzhak Shapira, who bears the honorable title of rabbi, even permits killing anyone "who, through his remarks and so forth, weakens our kingdom" (Obama, beware!).
