And its silly story time



NICOSIA (AFP) - Greek Cypriot soldiers involved in a wild sex party at a guard post on the divided Mediterranean islands Green Line were banished to remote corners of the country as punishment.

Politics daily said up to 10 army recruits were involved in an all-night romp in the Nicosia sector of the no-man's land with a mother-of-three who had them queuing up for more.

"The soldiers formed an orderly line outside the room waiting to have sex one-by-one. At one point two soldiers came along to serve food, even they didnt leave unsatisfied," it said.

Although the woman happily went through the ranks, from lowly privates to the officer in charge, military top brass frowned on her escapades.

The troops were undone when one of the participants decided to capture the moment with his mobile phone and forwarded the video images to fellow recruits.

Army chiefs got wind of what was going on and an internal inquiry was launched.

Those involved were disciplined and had time added on to their length of service, which is 24 months for conscripts, Politis said.

The Greek Cypriot national guard declined to comment on the report.

Cyprus has been divided into Greek- and Turkish-Cypriot sectors since 1974, when Turkish troops seized its northern third in response to an Athens-engineered Greek Cypriot coup aimed at uniting the island with Greece.

How bad is that when the BBC's own employees watch Sky News rather than the BBC's?

You might also remember that the sailors on HMS Ark Royal turned to Fox News and turned off BBC news in protest over the BBC's anti-war reporting.

A GOP state senator from Shelby County, Ala., claims Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment on part of America known for its "gambling, sin and wickedness."

State Sen. Hank Erwin of Montevallo, Ala., a former conservative talk-radio host and now a media consultant, wrote the column after a tour of hurricane-damaged Gulfport and Biloxi, Miss., and Bayou La Batre on the Alabama coast.He said he didn't think the hard-hit residents of the low-income lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans were singled out for especially harsh punishment but were merely in the way, as were the shrimpers in Bayou La Batre.Erwin's views are shared by others.

The al-Qaida in Iraq group hailed the hurricane deaths in America as the "wrath of God," and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan suggested the devastation caused by Katrina was divine punishment for the violence America had inflicted on Iraq.Televangelist Pat Robertson said Katrina might be linked to God's judgment concerning legalized abortion, and some rabbis suggested Katrina was a retribution for supporting the Israeli pullout from Gaza.

More bits on madness that is jihad. - And there is a lot of this stuff happening today



GENEVA, Switzerland (Reuters) -- Twenty-nine people were reported killed in an unprecedented attack on a refugee camp in the northwest of the Sudan region of Darfur, the United Nations said on Thursday.

According to initial reports, the Aro Sharow camp was attacked by 250 to 300 "armed Arab men on horses and camels" late on Wednesday, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said in a statement.

Another 10 people were reported to have been seriously wounded and the nearby village of Gosmeina was also believed to have been attacked and burned, the agency said. The death toll referred only to camp dwellers....

The U.N. has warned that it may have to suspend aid operations in Darfur because of a resurgence in violence.

Following the attack, High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres said it was the responsibility of the Sudanese government to restore order.


JERUSALEM – In an exclusive interview with WorldNetDaily yesterday, Hamas senior spokesman Sami Abu Zahri taunted Israel for its vulnerability to rocket attacks and warned that the terrorist group plans to kidnap more Israeli citizens just days after it claimed responsibility for the abduction and murder of a Jerusalem resident.

Zahri also told WND Hamas maintains "good relationships" with Syrian President Bashar Assad and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.

"Our relations are good with all the honest forces in the Arab world and this includes Assad's Syria, Hezbollah and other movements and forces," Zuhri said in the interview, which will be released in full on WND this weekend.

Zahri claimed Israel does not have the military capability to stop Hamas' Qassam rockets from flying out of Gaza and hitting nearby Jewish communities.

"Israel has always tried to stop Qassam attacks and she always failed to do so, even while using the most sophisticated technological and military tools. ... Hamas succeeded in creating a new military equation against Israel."

TIKRIT, Iraq -- A Task Force Liberty unit has detained an individual after an attack Sept. 29 in Balad.

The 1st Brigade Combat Team conducted three counter fire missions in response to a mortar attack around 6:50 p.m. and detained a suspect who ran from the scene to a nearby house.

An Iraqi citizen positively identified the detainee, who tested positive for explosives. Terrorists attacked the city with three vehicle detonations and indirect fire.

Injured Iraqi’s were taken to Balad Hospital and a coalition forces base for treatment.

No coalition forces were injured in the attack.

ALBANY, N.Y. Sep 29, 2005 — A federal grand jury has handed up new indictments charging two leaders of an area mosque with conspiring to support terrorists, the U.S. Attorney said Thursday.

The superseding indictment returned Thursday also charges Yassin Aref and Mohammed Hossain with attempting to provide support to Jaish-e-Mohammed, an Islamic extremist group based in Pakistan that is on the State Department's list of designated foreign terrorist organizations.

Islamic terrorism is being promoted by a phenomenal growth in jihadist Web sites, which have grown from fewer than 20 five years ago to more than 4,000 today, according to French and US researchers writing correspondence published in the September 29 issue of the prestigious journal Nature. ...

"It is fair to say global Islamic jihad wouldn't exist without the Internet," said Yael Shahar, a researcher who specializes in the study of cyber-terrorism at the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya. "Today, the structure of the Web is the structure of terrorist organizations. Without it, they would be reduced to local cells."

Forward Operating Base Lima in Karbala transferred to Iraqi Security Forces

FORWARD OPERATING BASE KALSU, Iraq -- U.S. Forces transferred Forward Operating Base Lima to Iraqi Security Forces Sept. 28 in Karbala.

Iraqi Police, Army commanders and government representatives along with Lt. Col. James Oliver, commander of the 1st Battalion, 198th Armored Brigade, attended the ceremony transferring local security responsibilities to the Iraqi Police and the 4th Brigade, 8th Division, Greater Iraqi Army.

The 2nd Battalion, 114th Field Artillery has assisted the people of Karbala since mid-January, providing security and infrastructure support. Approximately 68 projects totaling $21.5 million have been completed to improve the city. The projects included water, sanitation, education, electrical, medical and humanitarian aid.

The battalion is a U.S. Army unit assigned to the 155th Brigade Combat Team serving with the II Marine Expeditionary Force and has relocated to other bases throughout their area of operations. Sufficient forces remain available to offer any assistance as needed. (Again as this is a good news story from Iraq, the left wing BBC that my taxes help fund, that is supposed to be impartial and unbiased - cue laughter from myself - has not mentioned that, yet when something bad happens the Al Qua, sorry BBC gloats over it for hours.)

Just one question I have to ask on Iraq, where is this little talentless shit hiding?

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi
Now where is this head chopping untermenchen savage? Not a sign of this man any damn place.

Just look at it, thinks its the regular Jihad Jonny. Thinks it is oh so hard.

Nope looks like just another fucked in the head, death cult follower. A nihillistic being, with nothing worth living for in his piss poor existance.

A coward hiding behind "religion", desperate to justify its actions and its meaningless life.

Add to that this Islamic arsehole, if they take it alive will cry like a girl, shit its pants and be dragged to the electric chair screaming for mercy.

Taking the savages down one at a time...
Aref also was charged with making a false statement when he answered "none" to an immigration question asking him to list any organizations to which he had belonged. He also was charged with making false statements to the FBI when he was arrested in August 2004 and denied he was a member of the Islamic Movement in Kurdistan. At the time, he also denied knowing Mullah Krekar, believed to be the founder of Ansar-al-Islam, a radical Islamic fundamentalist group.

Aref, 35, who is the imam of the Masjid As-Salam mosque, and 50-year-old Hossain, a founder of the Albany mosque, have been free on $250,000 bond since shortly after their arrest in August 2004. Each originally was charged with money laundering and supporting terrorism. They were arrested after a yearlong FBI sting using an undercover informant.

The initial 19-count indictment accused them of working with an FBI informant who posed as a part-time arms dealer and proposed that Hossain hold money from the sale of a shoulder-fired missile that would be used to kill a Pakistani diplomat in New York City.

Srinagar, India, Asharq Al-Awsat- An alarming trend is emerging in Kashmir as militant groups are increasingly using children as soldiers in the fight against the Indian Army.

Along the border separating Indian- held Kashmir from the Pakistani side, boys as young as 13 and 14 carrying deadly weapons have been arrested by the Indian security services. In the last year alone, 24 children were apprehended.

Questioned, the young men revealed they had been indoctrinated at madrassas (religious schools) in Pakistan and were forced to cross into Indian territory after undergoing basic military training.

Mohd Latif, aged 14, originally from Karachi in Pakistan stated he was selected from a religious school where he was studying and received military training at a camp where songs extolling the virtues of jihad (holy struggle) were played during military exercises.

This is the way to handle them, please take note our Home Sec. Charles "Fatboy" Clarke.
The accounts of one of the major mosque of New York, named Al-Falah Mosque which was located in the Corona district of New York, and was inhabited by majority of Pakistani and Bangladeshi citizens, has been frozen.

The mosque was frequented by various preaching delegations from Pakistan and Bangladesh, and they also held religious congregations.

The decision was so sudden that, it transpired on the mosque administration only when they went to the bank for their daily transactions, where they were informed of the "federal freeze" on mosque's funds as well as personal account of the chief (administrator) Imam, Mr. Hafiz Piracha.

According to reliable sources, the mosque was under a strict vigil since a year, because of frequent visits of preaching delegations from all over the Islamic World.

Two Pakistanis among six militants killed SRINAGAR, SEPT 29 (PTI)

Six ultras, including a self-styled commander of Lashker-e-Toiba from Pakistan, were gunned down by security forces while two civilians were killed by militants in separate incidents in Jammu and Kashmir since last night. Abu Hurama alias Zuloo, a Pakistani national who was LeT's "commander" for Kandi belt in Kupwara, was killed along with three other militants in a fierce gunbattle with Rashtriya Rifles troops at Haran forest in Handwara area of Kupwara district today, the defence spokesman said.

Besides Hurama, the other militants killed in the encounter have been identified as his close associates Abul Talha, also a Pakistani, Liaqat Shah alias Waseem Hyder and Harkat-ul-Mujahideen Militant Saqib Hussain. Four AK rifles, nine magazines, 120 rounds and three wireless sets were recovered from them, the spokesman said. Haji Karim Din, 65, was kidnapped and beaten to death by militants at Alal in Thanamandi area of Rajouri for refusing them food and shelter, the spokesman said.

He said militants killed another civilian Nazir Ahmad inside his house at Gambari in Udhampur district last night. A police spokesman said two unidentified militants were killed and three armymen injured in the three-day long encounter at Chakpora village on the outskirts of Srinagar. The bodies of the militants were recovered alongwith two AK rifles from the debris of a house which was razed during a prolonged operation this afternoon, he said. Security Forces busted two hideouts, one each at Naushehra in Rajouri and Haribudha in Poonch District last night and recovered some arms and ammunition, he said.

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Suspected Muslim militants killed one policemen and two itinerant Chinese workers in restive southern Thailand on Friday, a police official said.

In one of the most clinical attacks in 21 months of violence in the Muslim-majority region, the militants detonated a bomb and used automatic rifle fire on a police motorcycle patrol, they said.

They killed one of the policemen, wounded five, then blocked army reinforcements from reaching the victims.

"They scattered the road with spikes and cut down trees to stop soldiers getting in to help them," a policeman in Yala, one of the three violence-hit southernmost provinces, told Reuters.

Soldiers eventually managed to manoeuvre through the roadblocks in an armoured vehicle to recover the dead policeman and his five colleagues, two of whom had been wounded severely by AK-47 rifle fire, the policeman said.

In a separate incident, suspected militants on motorcycles killed two Chinese street vendors in a drive-by shooting in the neighbouring province of Narathiwat, police said.

How ISLAM treats POW's.

KABUL (Reuters) - Afghan police have found mass graves of hundreds of communist troops killed after surrendering to mujahideen forces in the 1980s, a crime in which at least two election candidates are implicated, officials said on Thursday.

The graves were discovered about three weeks ago in Saraqala, a remote part of the southeastern province of Paktika, said a provincial police officer, speaking on condition of anonymity.

"It's believed that these people were killed in 1989," he said. "There was a government brigade that went missing and they captured them. There are at least 300-500 people -- we have counted from their belts, uniforms, boots and bones."

Interior Ministry spokesman Yousuf Stanikzai confirmed that mass graves had been discovered and said a team had been sent by the ministry in Kabul to investigate.

"These were army soldiers of the Najibullah regime who surrendered to the mujahideen and then they were killed," he said referring to the Soviet-backed president executed by the Taliban in 1996.

** And we get out panties in a knot over some hazing photo's. At least our prisoners in the war on terror are still alive. Still thats the basic difference between civilization and the Islamofascist state.

Shall end this with a cartoon:

John Trever, New Mexico, The Albuquerque Journal

Ok here's a bit from the tolerant Islamic faith that will inspire feminists the world over:
Quran 4:34: Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in their sleeping places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.

Updates & bits - changes to the blog.

** First off I have altered the layout on this blog, filed most of the old shi'ite away and am now going to put a bit more colour in the text layout. Not going to amend the previous articles, but the new stuff will have some depth to it.

Aside from the continual updating pics, the moon phases and other links to blogging bits and bobs, I have put on a html map that shows where people are in the world when they have a read of this site.

At the bottom of the page is the web pages referring to the site, and from now on only the stuff I have put on that day will be on the front page, everything else will be in the archives.

Oh yes I could not have put it better:
Why Mohammed was not a prophet:

One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin.

One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children.

He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives and their “right hand possessions” (Quran 33:50) He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion.

He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way. Muhammad was a narcissist like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child.

He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.

Hurrah for The Sun


Hate preacher exposed

By STEVE KENNEDY

HATE preacher Abu Izzadeen has had his benefits stopped after being exposed by The Sun.

Izzadeen, 30 — who praised the 7/7 bombers — refuses to work but was claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance.
Izzadeen ... scrounger

A probe was launched after The Sun revealed the father of three’s scrounging. Izzadeen, of Leyton, East London, got £80.32 a week housing benefit and £56 a week Jobseeker’s Allowance. His £100 council tax was also paid.

Now it has all been withdrawn following the probe by the Department of Work and Pensions.

A DWP source said: “It was brought to our attention that he was claiming this benefit and had no intention of working. This will not be tolerated.”Izzadeen, born in Hackney, East London, said the London bombers who killed 52 were “praiseworthy”.


** Here's hoping that this savage starves to death now his benefits have been stopped, or better still he can fuck off back to some tolerant islamic state who will be more than happy to pay him a fortune in benefits and let him live off their state. Only problem is he wont find a state like that.

Think Jihad is new to the shores of Britain?



From the early seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, thousands of British men women and children were kidnapped by Arab corsairs and sold into slavery in Morocco where they were kept in conditions of unspeakable barbarism. The astounding thing is that these British victims were not merely seized at sea where they ran the gauntlet of such pirates in places such as the Straits of Gibraltar. They were actually abducted from Britain itself.

Corsairs from a place in Morocco called Sale -- who became known in Britain as the ‘Sally Rovers’ -- sailed up the Cornish coast in July 1625, for example, came ashore dressed in djellabas and wielding damascene scimitars, burst into the parish church at Mount’s Bay and dragged out 60 men women and children whom they shipped off to Morocco. Thousands more Britons were seized from their villages or their ships and dispatched to the hell-holes of the Moroccan slave pens, from where they were forced to work all hours in appalling conditions building the vast palace of the monstrous and psychopathic Sultan, Moulay Ismail, who tortured and butchered them at whim. Most of them perished, but the book records the survival of a tenacious Cornish boy Thomas Pellow, who survived 23 years of this ordeal and whose descendant, Lord Exmouth, finally ended the white slave trade when he destroyed Algiers in 1816.

The book makes clear that this assault upon the British people (and upon Europeans and Americans who were similarly seized) was a jihad. The Sally Rovers, writes Milton, were called ‘al-ghuzat’-- the term once used for the soldiers who fought with the Prophet -- and were hailed as religious warriors engaged in a holy war against the infidel Christians who were pressurised to convert to Islam under threat of hideous punishment. What is even more striking was the response of the British crown. For almost two centuries, it made only the most ineffectual attempts to rescue its enslaved subjects. Those who had succumbed to the torture and inhumanity of the Sultan and converted to Islam were deemed to be no longer British and therefore outside the scope of any rescue. The pleas of Pellow’s parents were simply brushed aside. Popular outrage forced successive Kings to dispatch a series of feeble emissaries to try to get the Sultan to end this vile traffic and release the slaves, all to no avail.

But this went on for virtually two centuries. For almost 200 years the British state either sat on its hands or wrung them impotently while the Islamic jihad seized, enslaved and butchered its people. And then it appears, this staggering onslaught was all but airbrushed out of our history.

And now we again have a do nothing government that refuses to realise we are under attack.

“…for it was the intention of the Turks to attack us and board us, and if we had been only three versts further the attempt would have been made on the 16th [June 1788] (before the vessel of the Captain Pacha ran aground in advancing before the wind with all his forces to attack us,), God only knows what would have been the result…The Turks had a very large force, and we have been informed by our prisoners that they were resolved to destroy us, even by burning themselves, (in setting fire to their own vessels after having grappled with ours.) [note added by Jones: Before their departure from Constantinople, they swore by the beard of the Sultan to execute this horrible plan…if Providence had not caused its failure from two circumstances which no man could forsee.”]

That's from John Paul Jones’ Letter to Prince Potemkin, June 20, 1788, from Life and Character of John Paul Jones-A Captain in the Navy of the United States, John H. Sherburne, 1825, p. 308.

Joke: Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed in an accident". "OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!" His staff sit stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the president sits, head in hands. Finally, the President looks up and asks... ''How many is a Brazillion ??!"

.

Finally a scam that I like.


Now most ie 99.99999% of internet scams are done to innocent people who are lacking in a bit of common sense by people just motivated by greed, and yes so is this but this well it amused the hell outta me:

"Several thousand Saudi Arabian men have gone to Iraq to fight for al Qaeda. Not surprising for the country that supplied 15 or the 19 terrorists who carried out the 911 attacks. But this has provided opportunities for crooks in Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Syria. When these fellows find out about a young man who has gone off on jihad to Iraq, they contact his parents with the news that their son is in trouble, and that money can make it all better. The story varies, from the kid getting kidnapped, or arrested, in Syria or Iraq. The families, whether they approved of their lad’s terrorist intentions or not, are usually eager to get him back. Money is sent, and the scammers are never heard from again."

** Makes me wonder how long it will be before some cleric makes a fatwa against internet scams. The full story on the link above.

Yep more on those lovely jihadist asshats.


Now this is how to get the muslim vote!
The leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal, Lalu Prasad Yadav has found a new Muslim mascot - Miraz Khaled Noor, the Osama look-alike, stolen from the Lok Janshakti Party. From being a virtual nobody, Noor shot to fame during the last elections. His resemblance to Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden made him Ram Vilas Paswan's Muslim poster boy.

The fuckwit in Iran is ranting again:
Tehran, Iran, Sep. 28 – In a protest on Wednesday outside the British embassy in Tehran, Iran’s Islamist Bassij force threatened that no corner of the United States or the United Kingdom would be spared from attacks by the organisation if the Islamic Republic’s nuclear file were sent to the Security Council. “America and Britain should know that if Iran’s dossier is referred to the Security Council, not only will their interest in the Middle East come under threat, but also these two countries’ soil will not be protected from attacks by our Bassijis”, warned Mohammad Mahmoud Heydari, the Bassij representative during the violent demonstration where several embassy windows were shattered and petrol bombs hurled into the compound. “Our presence in this is unholy place - the evil British embassy – is because of this country’s stances against Iran’s nuclear file”, Heydari said. “We tell America, you should know that there will not be a repeat of the Second World War, when not a single bullet was fired on American soil. This time, your interests in the Middle East and American and British soil will not be spared from attacks by the Bassij”, the Bassij representative said. He added that if Britain continued its evil against Muslims of the world and the Iranian people, then the militia would have no choice other than to “destroy this embassy on the heads of its British occupants; a decision which will be realised”.

And now the nutters are using women in Iraq:
BAGHDAD (AP) — A woman strapped with explosives and disguised as a man blew herself up outside an Iraqi army recruiting center in a northern town Wednesday, killing at least six people and wounding 30 in the first known attack by a female suicide bomber in the country's bloody insurgency. Al-Qaeda in Iraq claimed responsibility for the blast, saying in an Internet posting that it was carried out by "a blessed sister."

"A blessed sister from the Al-Baraa bin Malek martyrdom brigade carried out a heroic attack defending her faith and honor on a gathering of volunteers for the apostate forces at a center for recruiting apostates in Tal Afar," the statement said. "May God accept our sister among the martyrs," it said, without identifying her. Blah blah blah.

Islamonazis attack Bangladesh:
RAJSHAHI, Bangladesh, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Their calling card was a bomb and a written declaration of war on Bangladesh's constitution and democracy. Across the length and breadth of Bangladesh, outside its most secure and important buildings, Islamic militants exploded 500 small bombs in just half an hour last month. Leaflets made the threat explicit: establish an Islamic state under sharia law or we will bring the country to its knees. The power and organisational ability of Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen, (the Party of Holy Warriors) came as a shock to Bangladesh -- and to the rest of the world. But in Rajshahi district in the country's wild west, their extreme views and brutal sense of drama came as no surprise at all. On April 1, 2004, the group announced their presence to the people of Bagmara town with the stabbed and chopped-up body of a supposed bandit, and a call for an armed Islamic revolution. "They chanted 'long live al Qaeda', 'Bangladesh will be the next Afghanistan' and 'we are the soldiers of al Qaeda'," said farmer Abdul Bari, who saw their first rally. A few weeks later, 2,000 supporters marched through Rajshahi city under police escort, green strips of cloth around their heads, hockey sticks, iron bars and machetes in their hands.

And this is why they dislike democracy and all it stands for: The Saudi scholar Muhammad Abu Omar al-Seif confirms the incompatibility of Islam with democracy [S]overeignty is reserved for Allah alone, replacing shari’a with democratic elections is considered “an appeal to the devil and destruction of Allah’s rule,” democracy considers all people equal, “knowledgeable and the ignorant and Muslim and “infidel” alike, which is deemed anathema. Further, according to the speech, jihad is the solution, justified in its course because it means to defend Islam, “which the enemies are aiming to remove from the hearts of the Muslims and from their lives.”

And our coward of a PM still wont kick out the Islamonazi hate clerics. But its not all doom and gloom, the free world does have some sucess against them. Although watching the BBC you would think its views came from the Islamic camp.

Police Kill Two Sharm El-Sheik Suspects September 29, 2005 11:00 AM EDT EL-ARISH, Egypt - Two militants who tried to run a checkpoint in the Sinai mountains were shot and killed by police, and the government said Thursday they were the mastermind of the July terrorist attacks on Sharm el-Sheik and one of his bombmakers. A third suspect was captured after the shootout, which occurred Wednesday in the Halal mountain range of northeastern Sinai, a police officer said. The three militants hurled a hand grenade that wounded four police officers, the Interior Ministry said. The deaths brought to three the number of suspected terrorists that the police killed in Sinai on Wednesday. Hours before the checkpoint battle, police killed Moussa Mohammed Salem Badran, an alleged leading player in the three bomb explosions in Sharm el-Sheik on July 23 that killed at least 64 people. The Sharm bombings were Egypt's deadliest terrorist attacks. Two car bombs and a bomb in a knapsack ripped through a luxury hotel, a neighborhood full of Egyptians and the entrance to a beach promenade. The ministry did not say the militants belonged to any particular group. Three terrorist groups have claimed responsibility for the Sharm attacks. At the checkpoint, police shot dead Khaled Mesaed Salem and Telib Murdy Suleiman, the officer said, speaking on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to the press. The Interior Ministry described Salem as the "mastermind" of the Sharm attacks. However, the government has previously identified other suspects as principals in the attacks. Salem, who was married with three young children, used to work as a dentist in El Arish hospital, the police officer said. The ministry said Suleiman had played a "prominent role in providing the explosives and preparing the bombs." It said the captured militant, Younis Mohammed Alayan, had already provided details about the Sharm attacks. A videotape found in the car showed the militants planning the Sharm attacks as well as pictures connected to the Aug. 15 explosion that slightly wounded two Canadian peacekeepers in north Sinai. A roadside bomb blasted a vehicle of the Multinational Force and Observers last month. The force of 1,800 personnel monitors the 1979 Egypt-Israeli peace treaty. The ministry said the three men in the car had come to meet Badran. It said they had been hiding out for months in the Halal mountains, which have many caves and deep ravines. Last month, thousands of Egyptian security forces carried out a sweep in Sinai, detaining more than 700 people in connection with the attacks. Many have been released. It is not known if any have been charged.

Coalition operations catch 9 terror suspects red-handed
TAJI, Iraq – Soldiers from a 3rd Brigade, 1st Armored Division patrol detained nine suspected terrorists in three separate incidents while conducting security and stability operations near Taji on Sept. 27. In the first incident, Soldiers from 70th Engineer Battalion stopped a car during random inspections and searched the vehicles four occupants. The men had $14,000 of U.S. currency in 100 dollar bills, and a large number of fake government identification badges in their possession. Later in the day, the Soldiers were approached by an Iraqi citizen who said them that a suspicious car was parked in his neighborhood. The Soldiers searched four men near the car identified by the citizen and found bomb-making materials. While the U.S. troops questioned the car owners, they stopped and searched a fifth man who was acting suspiciously. The man's cell-phone history contained a message from another terrorist that roughly translated into "Thanks for the use of the rocket-propelled grenades." All nine terror suspects were transferred to a Coalition detention facility for questioning.

TROOPS raided a suspected Abu Sayyaf hideout on an island off the southern Philippines before sunrise Tuesday and seized more than two tons of chemicals and blasting caps used in the manufacture of homemade explosives, officials said. Officials said elite members of the naval anti-terror Task Force 61, backed by amphibious vehicles, stormed Pilas island near Basilan, and raided the hideout where they recovered 42 bags of ammonium nitrate and boxes of blasting caps, including barrels of gasoline. Southern Philippines navy chief Commodore Rufino Lopez said the raid was part of an anti-terror campaign in the troubled region, where security forces are battling Abu Sayyaf militants with links to Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network. "There is an ongoing anti-terror operation," Lopez said.

And finally:
Local Ramadan radio stations begin their annual broadcasts across Britain next week amid fears of being charged with breaching a new code of standards introduced by the communications regulator, Ofcom, in July.

According to Muslim News, applicants for a record 82 Restrictive Service Licenses (RSL's) have expressed concern about undue interference by the regulator.

"Ofcom has stated that they would like to work with radio Ramadans about the contents of the programs," one applicant was quoted saying.

Another described the undue interference as "religious discrimination," saying Ofcom had "set of rules for Muslims and another for the rest."...
** Well depends how you look at it, how about when in Rome do as the Romans do, or when in the UK try to fit in and not blow us up!

Particular unease relates to a clause on 'harm and offense,' which states that programs must not include material which "condones or glamorizes violent, dangerous or seriously antisocial behavior and is likely to encourage others to copy such behavior."

In the current climate of the government's anti-terrorism focus on so-called 'extremism' in the Muslim community, fears were expressed about the definition of "seriously antisocial behavior."

But Ofcom denied that the implementation of its new code had anything with anti-terrorism measures following July's London bombings.

"The new code is not terrorism related. The new code was actually formulated in May, a good two months before the London attacks," a spokesman told the Muslim News.

First time RSL applicant Mohammed Anwar, who will be in charge of Nelson's APNY Nawaz station in north-west England, said that like many others, it would also be difficult to assess the interpretation of inflammatory comments from the merely controversial views.

"We've briefed our staff to scan the callers in phone-ins. For example, they've been told to cut [off] anybody who promotes terrorism," Anwar said.

** Yeah its a bitch us infidels getting annoyed at people out to kill us.

Ghulam Hussain, applicant for High Wycombe's Radio Ramzan, west of London, also said that there was a "little confusion" after being sent a letter about the codes.

In a forward of the new code, Ofcom Content Board Chair, Richard Hooper, insisted that rights of free expression came with "duties and responsibilities" and said the code were in the light of the Human Rights Act 1998 and the European Convention on Human Rights." But Ejaz Siddique, administrating for Radio Ramadhan Birmingham, in central England spoke of the importance of programs interpreting the Qur'an and said his station was "not going to shy away from talking about jihad."

** Still bet you £100,000 that they breach the rules and this cowardly govt, does...er ....ummmmmm ...nothing.

Ok some more good news from Iraq, and yes the BBC has not even reported this on the 6pm news. Today, American forces in the city of Kerbala officially handed over security responsibilities to Iraqi army and police units in the city.
This makes Kerbala the second Iraqi province that undergoes this transition of power after a similar step was taken in Najaf nearly two months ago.
The event which was attended by military and civil officials from both parties also included a parade for the Iraqi units that are going to assume responsibility for peace keeping tasks in Kerbala.

From fiction to real - London Bombing


London Bombing - from fictional to real?

"At half past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now."


-- Former Scotland Yard Official Peter Power on BBC, 7/7/05

Many strange facts from highly credible sources are coming in regarding the recent London bombings. The most astonishing is the following conversation which took place the afternoon of the London bombing on BBC radio. The BBC host interviewed Peter Power, Managing Director of Visor Consultants, which bills itself as a 'crisis management' advice company. Peter Power was a former Scotland Yard official.


A Coincidence?

POWER: At half past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now.

HOST: To get this quite straight, you were running an exercise to see how you would cope with this, and it happened while you were running the exercise?

POWER: Precisely, and it was about half past nine this morning. We planned this for a company, and for obvious reasons I don't want to reveal their name but they're listening and they'll know it. And we had a room full of crisis managers for the first time they'd met. And so within five minutes we made a pretty rapid decision that this is the real one, and so we went through the correct drills of activating crisis management procedures to jump from slow time to quick time thinking.

** Now I got the link to this from a mail I recieved, and today also had a debate with someone in work as to why I cant stand the Islamonazi's. I thought long and hard before answering, and here is my answer:

They made their lesson of hate loud and clear to the world on 9/11 and again in Bali, Madrid, London, and anywhere else those damn barbarians can spread their posion.
wtcattack.jpg

As we were stunned by the attacks each time they happened, thinking why is this happening, we had the liberal appologists saying its only a small minority...

palcheers911.jpg
Palestinian woman on Ramallah street cheers 9/11 attacks.
Well no I have seen thousands upon thousands cheering each time they butcher us Kafir as they refer to us, so fuck them, fuck their poison and its about time the free world woke up to the Islamonazi enemy.

Freedom In Blairs New Britain? Not Likely. 82 year old thrown out for expressing his views.


New Labour the party that has to protect its fit young political types from a bit of good old fashioned ear bashing from eighty two year old oaps.

I mean who do these oaps think they are dareing to question the leadership and government policy. Just think of what would've happened had he been a Brazilian electrician.

A pensioner who heckled the Foreign Secretary during a speech on Iraq was dragged out of the Labour Party conference.

Security guards reportedly "dived on" 82-year-old Walter Wolfgang after he called Jack Straw's speech "nonsense".

Sky News correspondent Jon Craig said heckling erupted when Mr Straw told the audience that British troops were in Iraq to "help the elected government to build a democratic and stable nation".

Now for the St Georges flag story:

** Updated not sure on how accurate this is but found it at the BNP site. Would not suprise me if it turns out to be true.
Yes after the fiasco of the police arresting a woman wearing a "BOLLOCKS TO BLAIR" tee shirt, we now have old age pensioner getting hassle off our wonderfull police over flying the St. George’s flag.

Now its actually got to the state where our police are so over sensitive to alien cultures they actually seek to supress the native culture of our country. Indeed
officers in Leeds have warned a former soldier that he might be breaking the law because his public display of the England flag could be a “breach of the peace”.

The story is at the link above, and it shows the tragic state that our once great nation has sunk to. Bet you these wanna be fascist police would lack the balls to say to some asian that his national flag has to come down.

Still for those abroad who want to know what our police find so offensive, that may actually be a breach of the peace?! I have put the highly dangerous St Gerorge flag below. Please feel free to contact Leeds police, that a breach of the peace may be occuring at this blog page!

In fact the whole force should hang their heads in shame for trying to push around a man who faced the enemies of this country, he at least showed some courage in joining the armed forces and doing his bit to help this nation. What I ask have Leeds police done of late?

More updates on the mad jihadist



MORE ON LARD ARSE OMAR "GOATSHAGGER" BAKRI

Yes old fat boy Bakri has done an interview...I just knew this islamonazi lard bucket would pop up in the media again like some floating turd that just wont flush away. I have put the link in if anyone wants to read about this dole scrounger that lived off the British state for 20 years.

Q) Before leaving London, did you expect that you would be prevented from returning?

(A) Before leaving London, I held a news conference. It was recorded. I bid farewell to all our young men in London and kissed them goodbye. I left the news conference after saying that I would be leaving the day after tomorrow. I did not run away or disappear. I left via Heathrow Airport where security measures are very strict and flew on the Lebanese Middle East Airlines. I decided to leave because the Muslim community in Britain is considered the voice, ears, and eyes of the British Government. This community allows itself to join the British intelligence, security, and army. Therefore, I consider them responsible before God because of their odd fatwas.

(Q) Do you blame the Muslim community in Britain?

(A) No, I accuse those recruited by the British Government and they have to account for their actions before God. Today after my Muslim brothers were killed, they turned against the others and the British Government accused them of being anti-Semitic. I expect they will receive blows on the head. They sold out their Muslim brothers and they themselves will be sold tomorrow.

Always a master of equivocation, Muhammad goes on to endorse jihad, with some caveats...

(Q) But you said that you are against killing innocent people and have nothing to do with the Al-Qaeda Organization. Now you are calling for jihad. How do you explain your position?

(A) I have often repeated that I am against the killing of innocent people anywhere in the world but who are the innocent? I keep the answer to myself.

(Q) Who do you define as innocent?

(A) The innocent people are specified by Islam. I denounce killing innocent people regardless of who kills them. However, who are the innocent? I do not have to explain this issue.

On a far less serious note, Muhammad discusses with his interviewer his future plans:

(Q) What are your plans in Lebanon? What will you do?

(A) First of all, I will rent an apartment to live in. Perhaps I will later buy a mule-driven cart and sell kerosene.

(Q) Seriously. Do you have any religious or educational plan for the future?

(A) I have a large belly. I will start by reducing my weight.

** A shame that he plans to lose weight, I was wishing for a fatal and very painfull heart attack to finish him off.

Well Done Germany:
Police in the western German state of Hesse mounted raids in six cities Tuesday against suspected Islamic extremists accused of raising money to carry out terrorist attacks, AFP reported.

"We have information that Islamic extremists engaged in petty crime are building a network and the logistics for terrorism," police spokesman Peter Liebeck said.

Liebeck said authorities believed that the extremists were using local snack shops and call centers as fronts.

Islamic terrorists deal drugs:
Saudi security sources said Sunni insurgents have been smuggling illegal drugs from Iraq to Saudi Arabia to finance insurgency attacks against coalition forces.

The sources said the drugs being smuggling now tend to be cannabis.

"In the space of one year, border police intercepted 10 tons of cannabis coming from Iraq," a Saudi source said. "In the past, the [smuggled] merchandise used to consist of alcoholic beverages and prohibited drugs."

The sources said revenues from the smuggling were being shared by Al Qaida operatives in Iraq and Saudi Arabia. They said the money has been used to purchase weapons and finance attacks in both countries.

"We have reason to believe that profits from drug smuggling has been financing militants who are fighting Iraqi and coalition forces and facilitating the illegal entry of people into the country," a Saudi security source told the London-based A-Sharq Al Awsat daily. "It also supports Al Qaida's terrorist activities inside the kingdom."

This is more like it! Make the terrorists and their mouth pieces fear:
The Gaza based 'al-Quds' radio station, which belongs to the Islamic Jihad terror group, announced that it is stopping its broadcasts Tuesday evening after being told that the IDF was planning to bomb its offices.

Station manager Salah Masri said that the IDF threatened to strike the station after accusing it of being a tool to incite Palestinians to violence.

He said he was worried for the station's workers and its neighbors, and therefore decided to stop broadcasts. Masri added that the station will be back on the air once the situation in Gaza is calm.

Salah said that "Sharon's government is activating terror against the Palestinians," and called on Arab journalists to support their Palestinian counterparts.

More on the tragic Richard Chang case -



Some time back I reported on Richard Chang, an employee of Abbey who was investigated by his employers and after an interview lept to his death. Have not heard a lot on this in the media or on tv, but have found this in the Guardian.

Richard Chang didn't know he was being watched. He didn't know his employer had hired investigators to access employees' PCs and take fingerprints from glass water bottles around the office. He didn't know there were linguistics experts dissecting the grammar in every memo, email and letter.

He didn't know he was on a list of 600 "suspects". And he didn't know that when he was called to what he thought was a routine Tuesday meeting he would spend the next two and a half hours being interviewed.

What his employer didn't know was the tragedy that was to follow. When Chang left the interview, he returned to his desk, wrote a suicide note, climbed onto a balcony on the fifth floor of the atrium and jumped to his death.

At the inquest last July, the coroner recorded a verdict of suicide but laid no blame on Chang's employer, Abbey, or security firm Kroll for his death at the bank's Triton Square headquarters, near Euston station in London.

Perhaps, suggested the coroner, Chang should not have been left alone following the interview, but Abbey's covert surveillance - into who had sent two anonymous malicious documents to bosses - was perfectly acceptable.

Welcome to the world of work where employers are free to invade our privacy at will and where each email we compose, website we visit and fag we smoke is recorded. And with every monitored keystroke, the bond of trust between employer and employee is weakened.

Prying bosses are no 21st-century invention. Henry Ford's "sociological department" visited homes of employees to determine whether they gambled, drank or sent money to foreign relatives. Punchcard systems and in-store cameras have been around for decades.

But digital technologies that make it possible to capture, store and search more data with greater ease and secrecy mean employee privacy is on the endangered list.

Three-quarters of large companies monitor employees' email, reckons the American Management Association. More than a third track keystrokes and time spent at the keyboard. Half store and review employees' computer files, while 55% retain and review their employee's emails. Tesco, Marks and Spencer, Sainsburys, B&Q, Boots and Homebase are among the employers named by the GMB union for compelling some workers to wear electronic tags that calculate how long it takes to go from one part of the warehouse to another. Such devices could also be used to monitor how long they spend in the toilet. Location-tracking devices in mobile phones ... the list grows by the week.

But, then again, privacy is a commodity we are happy to trade in other areas of life. We will gladly hand over home addresses, telephone numbers and credit cards to Tesco in return for a few Air Miles.

"We don't really care about privacy," says Carsten Sorensen, a lecturer in information systems at the London School of Economics and author of The Future Role of Trust in Work. "We'll give retailers anything they want, even if it means suffering penis enlargement emails for ever."

And at work, there are rewards for conceding privacy. All contracts of employment include an implied term that employers will provide a safe place to work. After 9/11 and 7/7, employees take comfort in CCTV. In the US, the introduction of drug testing has been welcomed by many employees who believe their factories and offices are now a safer place to work. Post-Enron and WorldCom, the monitoring and storage of emails defends us against possible litigation.

In some professions, monitoring and surveillance is actually welcomed. Police officers rarely turn off their radios - they want colleagues to know their location should they need back-up. Solicitors are happy for their hours to be clocked - they bill by the hour. The rise of the BlackBerry pocket computer is due, in part, to the wilingness of senior and middle managers to trade privacy for the freedom to check their emails while out of the office.

But, warns Sorensen, the technologies that protect us are the very same bits of plastic and software that can be used against us. "The same technology that helps us create virtual organisations across time zones can also be used by old-style command and control bosses to micro-manage us," he says.

There is no point asking if your employer is watching you. Take that as a given. Anyone in your IT department will tell you that sending an email is no different to sending a postcard. The real issue is trust. Can I trust my employer to watch me for my benefit?

Trust is already in short supply. More than half of London workers polled by consultants KPMG last year said they lacked trust in their bosses. In another survey, this time of 1,100 employees across the country, four out of 10 workers told researchers from human resources consultant Mercer they did not trust senior managers to be honest with them.

Trust is more than a touchy-feely "nice to have" thing. Author and consultant Robert Levering, who has spent the past 25 years of his career visiting hundreds of employers and interviewing thousands of employees, says trust is the key component to productivity at work. You might enjoy your job and have a laugh with your coworkers, but if you do not trust the people you work for, you won't want to be there.

Sample the atmosphere in a call centre if you want to witness a workplace without trust. Most call centre operators have such low negotiating power that they are forced to surrender all privacy. As Michael Blakemore of Durham University reported in a study published last week, the sophisticated technological infrastructure of call centres makes them an ideal environment for the micro-monitoring and managing of employees. Under the guise of quality control, everything an operator does can be recorded, filmed by CCTV or logged in databases: all conversations, the duration of conversations, timings and durations of meal and toilet breaks, even personal searches when entering the premises.

Nor is it just trust that suffers. Studies have shown that workers who are monitored suffer more stress-related illnesses such as depression, extreme anxiety, exhaustion and strain injuries.

Legislation to protect us is still playing catchup. The information commissioner published a code of practice for employers in 2002, setting out his views on how employee monitoring can comply with the Data Protection Act. But it is not legally enforceable and there are no specific sanctions for a failure to abide by the code. Assistant information commissioner Philip Jones says no enforcement notices have been served to date.

Contrast that with the Australian approach. When the Workplace Surveillance Act comes into effect in New South Wales next week, it will outlaw unauthorised surveillance of employees using technologies including video cameras, email and tracking devices. The new laws will make it an offence for an employer to take part in any form of covert surveillance unless they can prove they have reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing.

Back in the UK, Sorensen says it is time employers and workers' representatives had a proper debate about privacy and trust. He points to Microsoft, where managing director Alastair Baker says he is happy that the head office car park in Reading, Berkshire, is empty most Friday afternoons. Why? Because he says he trusts that his staff are either out with customers or looking after their work-life balance - and because he knows the company has processes that cultivate and protect that trust.

As workers become more mobile and work becomes more fragmented, the issue of trust will become more important. If employers are to do a deal on privacy and trust, they must, says Sorensen, be willing to negotiate our consent, give us access to the data that is collected on us and generally make us feel in control of the technology.

"Trust is very easily lost," warns Sorensen. "And once it's gone, it's very difficult to get back again."

** The coroner may not blame Abbey, but you take someone on the edge and put them in a stressfull situation for a few hours and its not difficult to realise that if they cant see any way out that suicide may look like an option.

Even for a relatively stress free person being hauled in and questioned for a few hours will take its toll, especially if you dont know what is going to happen when the interview is over. The questions must have been in Mr Changs head "Am I going to be fired?"

The Genie & Bill Clinton... And some more on Clinton




imageimageBill Clinton was walking along the beach when he stumbled upon a Genie’s lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it and lo-and-behold, a Genie appeared. Bill was amazed and asked if he got three wishes.

The Genie said, “Nope...Due to inflation, constant downswing, low wages in third world countries, and fierce global competition, I can only grant you one wish. So...What’ll it be?”

Bill didn’t hesitate. He said, “I want to be remembered for bringing peace to the Middle East, instead of that other stuff with Monica, and Jennifer, and the rest of those women. See this map? I want these countries to stop fighting with each other.”

The Genie looked at the map of the Middle East and exclaimed, “Jeez, Fella! These people have been at war for thousands of years. I’m good, but not THAT good. I don’t think it can be done. Make another wish.”

Bill thought for a minute and said, “You know, people really don’t like my wife. Even though she got elected, they call her a carpetbagger. They think she’s mean, ugly, and pushes me around. I wish for her to be the most beautiful woman in the world and I want everybody to like her. That’s what I want.”

The Genie let out a long sigh and said, “Lemme see that map again.”

imageimageEx-Security Chief Blows Whistle on UN’s Kosovo Mission
(CNS NEWS)

Following five years of United Nations control and billions of dollars of international aid, Kosovo is a lawless region “owned” by the Albanian mafia, characterized by continuing ethnic cleansing and subject to increasing infiltration by al Qaeda-linked Muslim jihadists. The U.N.’s repeated failure to act on received intelligence has allowed illegal paramilitary groups to flourish and engage in terrorist attacks aimed at destabilizing regional governments in the Balkans, said Thomas Gambill, a former security chief with the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), self-described as the world’s largest regional security agency.

Gambill was responsible for overseeing the eastern region of Gjilane in Kosovo from 1999 until 2004 under the authority of the U.N. His criticism comes as the United Nations prepares to launch final status talks on the troubled province ofKosovo , which has been a U.N. protectorate since North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) forces bombed Yugoslavia between March and May of 1999 to compel the Serb-dominated government of Slobodan Milosovic to withdraw its forces fromKosovo. The U.S. mission in Kosovo alone cost $5.2 billion between June 1999 and the end of 2001, according to a report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office.

The NATO bombings were also launched in response to reports of large-scale ethnic cleansing of Kosovar Albanians by the Serbs. But as soon as the bombing campaign ended, ferocious, retaliatory ethnic cleansing allegedly took place with Albanians, who are predominantly Muslim, targeting Christian Serbs. The violence was witnessed and documented by the U.N. and OSCE. Following the NATO bombing of Kosovo, American troops under NATO command were stationed in neighboring Macedonia and Albania while then-President Bill Clinton decided on the size of the U.S. contingent to be deployed inKosovo. When U.S. troops entered the province in June 1999, the alleged retaliatory ethnic cleansing was already underway.

Incidents of sexual violence, torture, arson, murder, kidnapping, and verbal threats were allegedly widespread as part of an organized and successful campaign conducted “right under the U.N.’s nose,” said Gambill. Minorities targeted by ethnic Albanian extremists for expulsion or death included Serbs, Roma, Muslim Slavs, Turks and Croats. Reports filed by the OSCE indicate that the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), which had been trained and supported by the Clinton administration, was predominantly responsible for the ethnic cleansing. In April 1999, congressional Republicans also promoted legislation seeking U.S. military aid for the KLA, causing Michael Radu of the Foreign Policy Institute to warn of the consequences of such a move.

Other armed extremist groups also participated in the ethnic cleansing, said Gambill. The overall goal of the groups was the creation of an ethnically pure state that included Albania, Kosovo and parts of Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia “They will push for more. That is the plan. It’s called Greater Albania,” said Gambill. OSCE documents reveal that elderly Serbs who were unable to flee were threatened and women were thrown down staircases. Others were tortured, beaten and murdered. Some elderly Serbs fled to monasteries for protection, but the monasteries were later attacked as well, including as recently as March of 2004, according to the OSCE documents.

Unison - What the hell are they playing at?



Below I have copied part of a story on Unison giving money to the Palestinians, now as someone who worked for a company where they were active that really does piss me off. The job of a union is not world politics, or righting the wrongs of the middle east, but to look after their membership that pays the union reps wages.

As Unison has in my view done a piss poor job on stopping the flood of callcentre (and many other jobs in other sectors) to India, China and other places abroad, I am amazed they can find the time to help another society when their members are being replaced by workers on low wages abroad.

When I brought up several ideas on how to stop the removal of jobs from the UK(I worked in the finance trade previously) to a Unison rep some time ago, and showed him facts and figures that I had taken the time to gather from both within my former employers company and off the internet to prove my many points on how the company was not providing all the facts to both staff and customers I was met with a mixture of apathy and dis-interest.

Now that unions (and Unison is not the only union that is falling the members) are acting like this it is hardly a wonder that membership is falling, read on:

"Unison are embroiled in a scandal involving allegations that they have made donations to a front line Palestinian "charity". It is alleged that the union, which was set up to protect the rights of British public sector workers has made donations of at least £10,000 to the "givegaza" cause, a radical organisation claiming to be working to help Palestinians suffering from front line assaults, although the total amount given may never be known, as a wall of secrecy surrounds the donations.

It may come as a surprise to many members of the union to learn that money they are paying in good faith is diverted to a "charity" working in an area well renowned for daily producing suicide bombings, martyrs for the jihad and other forms of terrorism.

As the "Charity" givegaza website is permanently off line we can only speculate where the British union money has gone and for what purpose it has been used in the volatile Middle East. It also appears that this organization maintains no records available for public viewing as to what it is using the money for.

Double standards

A search on Unison’s main website fails to unearth any mention of "givegaza" or the £10,000 donation it pledged towards it, hardly surprising given the reaction that this would cause amongst its members.

Unison are constantly accusing the BNP of anti-Semitism and racism so it will be interesting to see just how these donations and their call for boycotting Jewish products sit alongside their wild and untrue accusations of the BNP being “anti-Semitic”.

Unison is a leading member of the Unite against Fascism organisation, a New Labour regime funded front that prides itself in hurling insults at the BNP, to the effect that it is an anti-Semitic racist party, disrupting meetings by phoning venue landlords threatening violence and distributing misleading and out of date information at election times about the BNP.


British workers first

It is not our place to debate the rights and wrongs of the Israeli and Palestinian situation; that is a matter for the people of that area, however it is our place to point out the double standards to voters and union members alike when union funds given by British workers are diverted to dubious overseas "charities" which admit to working on a front line military struggle, this must raise the question as to why the trade union are not putting the money in to causes which benefit the people who actually pay for them.

If you are a member of Unison and would like to know why they are giving your money to Palestinian radical causes you can contact them on 0845 355 0845
