Tory MP. Tell's The Truth Over '‘importing medieval views’ comment.


A Tory MP was plunged into a race row after he accused some ethnic communities of importing ‘barbaric and medieval’ views about women into Britain.  The MP for Monmouth told BBC Radio 5 Live: ‘What is it about this young man’s upbringing… his community or his parental upbringing, that led him to think that women are second-class people whose rights can be trampled over like this?

Backlash: David Davies was criticised by other MPs following his outburst
Balal Kahn: The 13-year-old convicted rapist prompted Mr Davies to comment Crass: David Davies accused immigrants of ‘importing medieval views’ about women in the wake of 13-year-old Balal Kahn’s conviction for rape

‘There are some sensitive issues here, but there do seem to be some people in some communities who don’t respect women’s rights at all and who – if I may say, without necessarily saying that this is the case on this occasion – who have imported into this country barbaric and medieval views about women.’
Khan admitted beating and raping a 20-year-old woman in front of his two friends as she walked home in Stoke-on-Trent.  He was sentenced this week to just three years because of his age – and because he said ’sorry’.

Mr Davies’s comments came as he called for the Attorney General to review the sentence. 

eBay bans sale of ‘racist’ family board game!

London, Jan 29 (ANI): The sale of a family board game based on sitcom Dad’s Army has been prohibited after a swastika was found on its box. Internet auction site eBay
removed the game, labelling it “offensive material” since it could stir racial and religious hatred and incite violence. David Davidson, a retired bank worker from Droitwich, Worcestershire had offered the game for 99p. The 1970s game has players contending to be the first to get their platoon across the board and includes famous characters from the show like Captain Mainwaring and Sergeant Wilson.The box has arrows containing swastikas and one bearing the Union flag, like in the opening titles of the
TV programme.




Set in the dark days of 1940 the battle of France and the miracle of Dunkirk have just happened. The country calls on all men to take up arms to fend off the dreaded Hun. This is the story of men too old to join the army, but willing to join the Home Guard; a force made up of bankers, bakers, butchers and undertakers and anyone else they could find.

Whats racist about this game at all?  I think that society in a whole that is offended by this game which was based on the above TV Show that was latter made into a board game needs to get their heads out of their asses and get over the fact that there is a 'Swastika' on the box/game.  People like those at ebay/elsewhere need to stop trying to re-write history etc.    

Immigration The Jew-Latino Tie

Hispanics and Jews are moving to the forefront in a burgeoning political alliance.

The next three months are seen as critical in the fight for immigration reform, but the weakening of the Democrats’ grip on Congress with the recent loss of a key Massachusetts Senate seat does not bode well for the passage of reform legislation.

The Jewish-Latino alliance on immigration issues builds on the heritage and experience of the Jewish community and on the enthusiasm and urgent needs of the Hispanic community, which has a strong interest in issues of family unification and the status of the some 12 million illegal immigrants, most of them from Latin America.

But Jewish activists also see the joint work as an opening for cooperation with the Hispanic community on other issues, such as Israel.

“If we want to engage with the Latino community on issues that are of concern for us, including Israel, we need to engage on issues that bother their community,” said Gideon Aronoff, president and CEO of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society. “We want to create growing bonds with the Latino community, and we cannot create these bonds if we are indifferent to the issues that are of concern to them.”
The Gutierrez bill has been praised by advocates for immigrants as providing answers to most of the concerns of the Hispanic community, but so far it has failed to gain any Republican support.

Schumer’s bill, now in the making, is expected to have more bipartisan appeal, by taking a nuanced approach to the thorny issue of providing a path to legalization for millions of illegal immigrants.More FORWARD

TB is Taking Our Children: Is Washington Noticing?

The world is rightly doing all it can now to fight the spread of H1N1 flu. I only wish it would do the same for tuberculosis.

My research at a clinical trial site outside Cape Town is finding TB infection rates of children at the highest levels ever recorded since the onset of TB chemotherapy in the middle of the last century.

By the time children enter school at age 5, 20 percent are already infected with TB. By the time they reach the age of sexual maturity, 13 years, 50 percent are infected. And between the ages of 24 and 28 -- the years of peak prevalence of HIV -- 80 percent are infected.

That's why what is happening in Washington now is so important to me, to all of those fighting TB in Africa, and really to all of us: No area of the world is immune from this contagious airborne infection, which passes on the wings of a sneeze or cough.

The Obama administration is working out its new Global Health Initiative, and we need help more than ever to fight this dual scourge of TB and HIV that is affecting children in my corner of the world from the day they are born.

These historically dangerous rates of TB infection bode ill for future TB control. While TB infections may remain dormant, certain triggers, such as HIV infection, awaken and launch TB microbes into destructive attacks on a person's body. When HIV and TB work in tandem, the result often is death. My great fear is that if these unprecedented TB infection rates are not reduced, then TB control will fail for the next generation of Southern Africans. Even as efforts to fight AIDS have begun to make inroads -- the US government has been the world's most generous donor and implementer of these programs --

‘Defamation’ – Astonishing New Film On Anti-Semitism. . .

By Gilad Atzmon

I urge every person on this planet to watch Yoav Shamir’s ‘Defamation’ documentary about anti Semitism.
Below is a clip from the documentary, that can be seen on link above

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. More from David Duke

Missing Morgan Dana Harrington’s Body Found



The body of Morgan Dana Harrington has been positively identified through dental records. But it remains a mystery how she died in a farmer’s hay field, more than a mile away from any road.

Dental records positively identify the body of Morgan Dana Harrington.

Morgan was last seen at a Metallica concert in October when she apparently left her friends to go to the bathroom. She somehow ended up outside, and since security wouldn’t let her back in, she phoned her friends to say she would find her own way home. Witnesses who saw her outside the arena said she wasn’t with anyone. About an hour later, someone matching her description was seen walking on a nearby bridge. That was the last sighting of her.

Farmer David Dass found her body while driving his tractor on a distant portion of his 700-acre farm yesterday morning. The instant he saw the body, he believed it was Morgan’s. But it remains a mystery how she got to this final resting place. The farm is 10 miles from the arena, and the location where she was found was more than a mile from a road. There is no public access to the area.more
The remains of a blond woman were found on Jan. 26, 10 miles south of where Harrington was last seen. The night of the concert, she reportedly became separated from friends and was spotted looking distraught outside of the venue. Dental records were used to positively identify the remains as those as those of Morgan Harrington, bringing closure to her parents’ harrowing three-month ordeal. Police confirmed for the media during a press conference Tuesday evening that they were “fairly confident” the body was Harrington’s because it belonged to someone with blond hair and because of clothing and other items that were found at the scene. The positive identification followed an autopsy performed on the remains last night. A cause of death has not yet been released, and it is still unknown when she was killed.

Metallica had offered a $50,000 reward for any information leading to Harrington’s safe return. More than 600 tips were phoned in to police, but none led to Harrington. It was a farmer feeding his cattle who found the body.more

2 TB cases linked to homeless shelter in Aurora



The Kane County Health Department has confirmed two active cases of tuberculosis, both with connections to a homeless shelter in west suburban Aurora.
Both patients are in the hospital, receiving treatment. According to Ryan Dowd, executive director of Hesed House, a homeless shelter on River Street, one of the patients is a current guest of the shelter, and was diagnosed last week.
The county Health Department then found a second case, a person who lived at Hesed House until last June, and had not been back since. According to Paul Kuehnert, the department's executive director, health officials are still trying to determine whether the two cases are linked, which would mean they contracted the disease from the same source, or one got it from the other. Health Department officials said these are the only current cases of TB in Kane County.
The Health Department has tested every staff member and longterm resident of Hesed House, and every test has come back negative, according to Kuehnert. The department screened roughly 150 people, searching for symptoms, and tested more than a dozen.

UV Light Fights Tuberculosis

About tuberculosis
There are two types of TB infection – latent and active. Patients with active TB experience the symptoms of the disease, which include fever, persistent cough, and loss of appetite, and these patients can transmit the disease by coughing. In contrast patients with the dormant, ‘latent’ form of TB do not have symptoms, and are not infectious. About 10% of latent TB patients develop active TB over their lifetimes (although this figure rises to over 40% if they have HIV infection as well). Treatment can prevent many patients with latent TB from progressing to active TB. About 95% of TB patients with drug-sensitive disease can be cured with antibiotics, but this figure is much lower in patients with drug-resistant TB disease.


In Haiti
Every Day is TB Day
More than two billion people, one third of the world’s total population, are infected with TB bacilli, the microbes that cause TB. People living with HIV are at greater risk. For Haiti, much more remains to be done. The statistics above were released as part of the 13th annual report on global control of tuberculosis, produced by the World Health Organization (WHO) in a series that started in 1997. The 196 countries and territories that reported data in 2008 account for 99.6% of the world’s estimated number of TB cases and 99.7% of the world’s population.

First, the global picture. Although a cure for TB has existed for more than half a century, it is one of three leading causes of deaths worldwide due to infectious diseases. A total of 1.77 million people died from TB in 2007 (including 456 000 people with HIV), TB thrives on poverty and instability, disproportionately affecting the poorest of the poor. In the United States, on the other hand, TB rates reached a record low in 2008. Even here though TB affected our most vulnerable - minority and immigrant populations.

France says “You wear Face Veil, No Public Services. . .”

PARIS – Mass transport, hospitals, post offices — these and all public services in France would be off-limits to Muslim women wearing face-covering veils if a parliamentary panel’s recommendations, released Tuesday, become law.

The panel’s No. 2 predicts such a ban by year’s end.

As envisaged by the 32-member multiparty panel, a woman seeking unemployment benefits or other state aid, for instance, would walk away empty-handed if she refused to uncover her face. She would also be denied entrance to the local town hall, the bus, the Metro and the university classroom.

A panoply of recommendations aimed at dissuading Muslim women from hiding their faces is contained in the report, which was drawn up after six months of hearings from experts, Muslim leaders and others. One of the other recommendations: denying resident cards and citizenship to women who wear all-encompassing veils.

However, the panel was bitterly divided over recommending a ban on face-covering veils on the street, and that was not among the 15 recommendations retained after a vote.

President Nicolas Sarkozy put the issue before the French in June when he told a joint gathering of parliament that face-covering veils “are not welcome” in France.

Only several thousand women in France are thought to wear burqa-style garments, usually pinning a “niqab” across their faces to go with their long, dark robes. Such veils are widely seen as a gateway to extremism and an attack on gender equality and secularism, a basic value of modern-day France.

“The all-enveloping veil represents, in an extraordinary way, everything that France instinctively rejects. This is the symbol of the enslavement of women and the banner … of extremist fundamentalism,” said Bernard Accoyer, president of the National Assembly,

Jewish prayer ritual leads pilot to divert . . .



PHILADELPHIA – A teenage airplane passenger using an Orthodox Jewish prayer instrument caused a misunderstanding that led the captain to divert the Kentucky-bound plane to Philadelphia and prompted a visit from a bomb squad. A 17-year-old boy on US Airways Express Flight 3079 travelling from New York to Louisville was using tefillin, a set of black boxes attached to leather straps and containing biblical passages, said Philadelphia police Lt. Frank Vanore.

When used in prayer, one box is strapped to the arm while the other box is placed on the head.

“It’s something that the average person is not going to see very often, if ever,” FBI spokesman J.J. Klaver said.

The teen explained the ritual after being questioned by crew members, but the captain decided to land in Philadelphia anyway, authorities said.

The flight left LaGuardia Airport in New York around 7:30 a.m.; it landed without incident in Philadelphia about 90 minutes later and was met by police and officials from the FBI and Transportation Security Administration.

Authorities said the plane was searched and passengers were questioned. The teen, who is from White Plains just north of New York City, was travelling with his 16-year-old sister.

“They were more alarmed than we were,” Vanore said.

Klaver said the teen and his sister were never in custody, and have been cleared to continue their travels.More.

School Sorry For 'Insensitive' MLK Jr. Lunch

DENVER -- Denver Public School officials are apologizing after a parent complained that a school lunch meant to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was stereotypical and offensive, reported KMGH-TV.

The lunch, planned for Friday, was to include southern-style chicken, collard greens and a biscuit in honor of King.
Denver Public Schools spokesman Michael Vaughn released a statement that said: "The plan to serve a Southern-style meal in recognition of Martin Luther King Day was well intentioned but highly insensitive in light of certain hurtful cultural stereotypes still harbored in parts of our society."

Organizers of Denver's annual Martin Luther King Jr. Marade, a combination march and parade that honors King every January, did not consider the menu inappropriate, considering that King came from a southern background, but said there are other, more meaningful ways of honoring him.

"When you reduce it to the 'I have a dream' speech and a fried chicken and collard green lunch, you have just destroyed everything that Dr. King stood for," said Vern Howard, chairman of the Martin Luther King Jr. Colorado Holiday Commission.

But in barber shops and soul food restaurants in Denver's historic Five Points district, the tone was decidedly more relaxed.

"To me, I don't see that much wrong with this," said Franklin Stigal, owner of the Afro-Styling Barber Shop. "A lot of people are just griping to be griping."

Obama’s TSA Nominee Characterized Groups That Were Domestic Security Threats as: You guessed It

In the interview, Southers was asked whether there were “groups inside the United States that pose a danger to our security?”

“Domestically speaking, a large part, most of the groups we have here in the United States, are white supremacists groups, World Church of the Creator, National Alliance, Aryan Nations. There are some black separatist groups,” said Southers. “What’s interesting about those groups is you find that they are usually either Christian identity groups and/or groups that really have a foothold in our correctional or prison systems in the way of radicalization and recruiting.”

Southers was then asked: “Which home-grown terrorist groups pose the greatest danger to the U.S.?”

“Most of the domestic groups that we have to pay attention to here are white supremacist groups. They're anti-government and in most cases anti-abortion,” he said. “They are usually survivalist-type in nature, identity orientated. If you recall, Buford Furrow came to Los Angeles in, I believe, it was 1999. When he went to three different Jewish institutions, museums, and then wound up shooting people at a children's community center, then shooting a Filipino postal worker later on. Matthew Hale, who's the Pontifex Maximus of the World Church of the Creator out of Illinois, and Ben Smith, who went on a shooting spree in three different cities where he killed a number of African Americans and Jews and Asians that day. Those groups are groups that claim to be extremely anti-government and Christian-identity oriented.” MORE

TB Infected Man On 'Do Not Board' List Flies

Yeah your right no biggie you don’t fly so not a problem right, because the airline said so. NOT I know that is a lie and a way to keep the masses at a no biggie I’ll just take an anti-biotic. That is the biggest lie. I’m saying this because I have personally seen a friend of the family that was infected by someone with an active strain of TB that got it just from being in the same building(where they worked) as the one infected. My friend was a 6′ something (220 lb give or take) man that even after medical treatment that didn’t work brought down to 90 something pounds. In turn this friend passed that TB strain onto 35 confirmed cases + one 15 year old high school student who was allowed to return to school. Those are just the ones I know about, who knows how many those 35 infected all under the Health Departments Watch. Another reason diversity/open borders, The HIV/Aids(ban) of Immigrants etc is so wonderful don’t you think…… NOT

Over the weekend, a man on the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention's "do not board" list, with a steaming case of tuberculosis, managed to fly from Philadelphia to SFO. Should his fellow passengers be worried? Not so, says US Airways spokesman Morgan Durant.

http://cbs5.com/video/?id=60249@kpix.dayport.com

"We're pleased to hear from CDC that there is little to no risk of exposure on flights less than eight hours," Durant told KCBS. "The flight from Philadelphia to San Francisco is a little bit less than six hours."

Hmm. We recommend mainlining a few Emergen-Cs for good measure.

Anyway, federal health and aviation security officials are currently investigating how he managed to board the plane. After the unidentified man was already en route, CDC officials discovered he was on the plane. Oops. San Mateo County health officials met him at SFO, isolated him, and whisked him off to a nearby hospital.

NatlFed Charitable Front



NatlFed doesn’t fit most people’s idea of a cult. There’s no religious dogma. Instead, it’s best known for preaching leftist revolution. Yet, during its 40 years of existence, it doesn’t seem to have performed a single terrorist act.
As with any San Francisco dogfight, myriad organizations have piled on to the civic battle to pressure Sutter Health to rebuild St. Luke’s Hospitalat César Chávez and Valencia streets.
Why the seeming secrecy? Knowledgeable sources say that the Physicians Organizing Committee is one of several Bay Area front groups set up to disguise a strange political cult.
FBI file on the National Labor Federation
This is the FBI File for the National Labor Federation / NATLFED/Provisional Communist Party/Eastern Farm Workers Association/ Eastern Service Workers Association, a fringe Political Group founded by Gino Perente

The cult, an umbrella organization based in New York, goes by names such as the Provisional Communist Party and the National Labor Federation, abbreviated as NatlFed. Historically, the stated goal of NatlFed is one that would likely even discomfit the Bay Area liberals the organization targets for recruiting: the violent overthrow of the U.S. government.More from source

Former CIA Michael Scheuer Takes Calls






Fifteen minutes into the video:
John from Franklin: I for one am sick and tired of all these Jews coming on C-SPAN and other stations and pushing us to go to war against our Muslim friends. They’re willing to spend the last drop of American blood and treasure to get their way in the world. They have way too much power in this country. People like Wolfowitz and Feith an the other neo-cons — they jewed us into Iraq — and now we’re going to spend the next 60 years rehabilitating our soldiers — I’m sick and tired of it.

C-SPAN host:
Any comment on that?

Scheuer: Yeah. I think that American foreign policy is ultimately up to the American people. One of the big things we have not been able to discuss for the past 30 years is the Israelis. Whether we want to be involved in fighting Israel’s wars in the future is something that Americans should be able to talk about. They may vote yes. They may want to see their kids killed in Iraq or somewhere else to defend Israel. But the question is: we need to talk about it. Ultimately Israel is a country that is of no particular worth the United States.

C-SPAN host:
You mean strategically?

Scheuer: Strategically. They have no resources we need. Their manpower is minimal. Their association with us is a negative for the United States. Now that’s a fact. What you want to do about that fact is entirely different. But for anyone to stand up in the United States and say that support for Israel doesn’t hurt us in the Muslim world is to just defy reality.

They are lying out their A$$


The US has lifted a 22-year immigration ban which has stopped anyone with HIV/Aids from entering the country.


The above quoted statement makes me so angry I can scream, as I know many of you reading this are doing the same. They can say the US has lifted a 22-year immigration ban on HIV/Aids from entering the country all they want but I will tell the US Government they are lying out their asses and if they think America or at least a small amount of us believe that they are insane. I guess they must not include 'Refugees, Asylum, seekers that come into or have been even invited by the US Government with Aids/HIV, and other life threatening diseases, viruses all on the US Tax Payers Dime(which = Truck loads of Dimes)

President Obama said the ban was not compatible with US plans to be a leader in the fight against the disease.
For the first time in 2008, graphs from the Epidemiological fact sheets have been extracted into single-page country profiles. These country profiles have a special focus on trends. They include line charts on HIV prevalence 1990-2007, number of people living with HIV 1990-2007, annual number of deaths 1990-2007, antiretroviral therapy coverage 2004-2007 and prevention of mother-to-child transmission coverage 2004-2007.WHO Link to country profiles
HIV as a Ground of Inadmissibility: How it works
Two major sets of rules prevent noncitizens from entering and/or staying in the United States: the grounds of inadmissibility and deportability. HIV is not a ground of deportability, but is a ground of inadmissibility. This means DHS can “remove” someone from the United States for HIV only if the person entered the United States without government permission. DHS cannot deport people for being HIV positive or having an AIDS diagnosis if they entered on visas or now have lawful permanent residence.

Because HIV is a ground of inadmissibility, DHS may attempt to keep HIV positive individuals who are trying to enter the country, except US citizens and most lawful permanent residents, out of the United States. This includes temporary visitors (non-immigrants) and those intending to live in the United States permanently (immigrants). Another inadmissibility ground that is a barrier for many HIV positive noncitizens is the “public charge” ground,

Rejecting Noncitizens Trying to Enter the US
Although DHS does not test people for HIV when they try to enter the United States, everyone except US citizens and lawful permanent residents must get a visa to enter legally. Noncitizens who want to immigrate permanently to the United States as lawful permanent residents must submit to a medical examination that includes an HIV antibody test.MORE

The new rules come into force on Monday and the US plans to host a global HIV/Aids summit for the first time in 2012.The ban was imposed at the height of a global panic about the disease at the end of the 1980s.

It put the US in a group of just 12 countries, also including Libya and Saudi Arabia, that excluded anyone suffering from HIV/Aids.

The BBC’s Charles Scanlon, in Miami, says that improving treatments and evolving public perceptions have helped to bring about the change.Rachel Tiven, head of the campaign group Immigration Equality, told the BBC that the step was long overdue.
