Make NO mistake for this is the choice that is facing us and you can't have both...a choice not just for Europe and the USA but for every western democracy that's being confronted with their biggest threat and test since the defeat of the Nazis in World War 2. There's not a fence to sit on...and as 70% of Egypt voted for Islamofascist parties like the Muslim Brotherhood, this is only the beginning...
Click the links and see the Muslim Brotherhood's Nazi connections and Muslim myths:
A report by Britain"s Department for Education and Skills noted that an increasing number of schools are ceasing to teach the Holocaust in history lessons "in order to avoid offending Muslim students".
The report, titled "Teaching Emotive and Controversial History," also observed that many educators are reluctant to teach other topics that may contradict what is being said in local mosques.
Furthermore, the website Family Security Matters reported that, "In an effort to counter "Islamophobia" (a cunning phrase first coined by the Islamofascist Muslim Brotherhood) in British schools, teachers now are required to teach "key Muslim contributions such as Algebra and the number zero" in math and science courses, even though the concept of zero and algebra originated in India!"
In addition, students at the Alsager High School in Cheshire were "punished by their teacher for refusing to pray to Allah as part of their religious education class," according to the website.
The article further noted that non-Muslim children at an elementary school in Scotland were required to visit a mosque in Glasgow, where they were instructed to recite the shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith, which states, "There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is his messenger."
One interesting outcome from this appeasement policy is that, given the stated goal of Islam is Sharia Law for all the world, the next thing on their list after having all women walking around like the stupid tart in the above photo; could be a demand to close all brewers and distilleries as it also "offends" them. I'll tell you what offends me...that these 7th century mind sets are given any credence. If they don't like our western society then they should ship out and go live in a cave with the Taliban.
Keep appeasing these Islamofascist fuckers at our peril!
South America: Basically a Latin basket case of a Continent, 85% full of either Lefty Loons or Fascist piggies.
Martin Quispe Mayta states that the problems of Peru are the fault of Jews, even though there are less then 5,000 of them in a country of almost 30 million; so them Jews must be either super clever or the Peruvians a bunch or retards.
Mayta’s “research” into the global Jewish conspiracy of world domination has revealed to him the Jewish roots of such powerful historical actors such as: Winston Churchill, Theodore Roosevelt, Fidel Castro and that Latin American folk-hero, narcissist and mass murderer, Che Guevara...oh and even Abimael Guzmán, the leader of Peru's most violent terrorism organization, the Shining Path. He even believes Francisco Pizarro, the illiterate goatherd who led the Spanish conquest of his native state was one too; who in his search for gold, killed millions of native Peruvians.
Yep...that's the Jews for you. Brainy as fuck and worth a million of you Latino bam-pots any day.
Tel Aviv University researchers recently uncovered a seal (see photo below) measuring 15 millimetres (about a half-inch) in diameter, which depicts a human figure next to a lion at the archaeological site of Beth Shemesh, located between the Biblical cities of Zorah and Eshtaol, where Samson was born, flourished, and finally buried, according to the Book of Judges.

The scene engraved on the seal, the time period, and the location of the discovery all point to a probable reference to the story of Samson - who was from the Israelite tribe of Dan - the legendary heroic figure whose adventures famously included a victory in hand-to-paw combat with a lion. The seal was discovered with other finds on the floor of an excavated house, dated by the archaeologists to the 12th century BC. Geographically, politically, and culturally, the legends surrounding Samson are set in this time period, also known as the period of the Judges, prior to the establishment of Kingship in ancient Israel. Prof. Bunimovitz believes that this period of contact and strife with the Canaanites and Philistines may have been the "meat" of the Samson legend incorporated in the Book of Judges, the seventh book of the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament) that tells the stories of figures who championed the Israelite cause and fought against oppression through this historical period.

July's state unemployment numbers came out yesterday morning, and the numbers do not look good for Barack Obama. The report shows unemployment rose in 44 states last month, including 9 out of the 10 key battleground states. Chicago will likely be watching these numbers very closely to see how worried they should be about Obama's chances in the fall. Both campaigns have identified about 8 swing states that they need to win to get to 270. But ultimately, the race will almost certainly come down to just five states that have the potential to determine who wins and who loses:
(1) Ohio: A perennial swing state with 18 electoral college votes, Ohio has about even numbers of Democrats and Republicans, with a huge group of independent voters up for grabs. Obama won Ohio by 5 points in 2008.
(2) Virginia: Demographic shifts have turned this once reliable Republican safety into a toss-up, and Virginia's 13 electoral votes make it one of the biggest swing state prizes of the 2012 election.
(3) Colorado: Like Virginia, demographic changes turned Colorado from red to purple in 2008, when Barack Obama took the state's 9 electoral college votes by nearly 9 points.
(4) Iowa: If the race remains close elsewhere, Iowa's six electoral college votes could be the difference between victory and defeat for the 2012 presidential candidates. Romney and Obama are neck-and-neck in Iowa, and both campaigns are making the state a priority.
(5) Nevada: The Obama campaign is banking on winning Nevada, another once-red state that has been trending blue over the past few election cycles. But Nevada has been hit hard by the economic downturn, giving Republicans an opening to win back the state's six electoral votes. (C) Grace Wyler. (Photo: Copyright Control) |

June Tabor (born 31 December 1947 in Warwick, England) is an English folk singer. Her earliest public performances were in the Fox and Vivian pub in Leamington Spa, England in the mid 1960s. She attended St Hugh's College, Oxford University and appeared on University Challenge in 1968, as captain of the college team. She joined the Heritage Society at Oxford University and sang with a group called Mistral. An appearance at Sidmouth Folk Festival led to folk club bookings and she contributed to various records.
In 1977 Martin Simpson joined her in the recording studio for three albums before he moved to America in 1987. Simpson returned from America to be a guest guitarist on Tabor's albums during the past decade. After his departure, she started working closely with pianist Huw Warren.
Tabor stopped performing professionally for a time after working for decades as a singer, although she made some guest appearances with Fairport Convention during this period. During this time, she worked as a librarian and, with her then-husband David Taylor, ran a restaurant called "Passepartout" in Penrith, Cumbria, England before returning to music professionally in the 1990s to record with The Oyster Band. Solo Work: In 1983 the BBC TV series "Spyship" was broadcast, with Tabor singing the title song. In 1997 she appeared on Ken Russell's "In Search of English Folk Song" broadcast by UK's Channel 4. Tim Winton, author of the 2001 novel "Dirt Music" which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, made a selection of music to echo the themes of the novel. The CD "Dirt Music" (2001) includes "He Fades Away" by Tabor, a painful tale of the slow death of a miner. (The song originally appeared on her 1994 CD "Against the Streams.") In 2002 the "Passchendale Peace Concert" in Flanders had Tabor sharing the stage with Coope Boyes and Simpson. On 30th June 2006 BBC Radio 3 broadcast "Night Waves" to commemorate the anniversary of the Battle of the Somme. It was broadcast live, with World War I songs sung by Tabor, and a discussion with Michael Morpurgo and Kate Adie.
An original interpretation of Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice"
with Huw Warren on piano.
Over the years she has worked in various genres including jazz and art song: and from an a cappella version of the Beatles "In My Life" to an Elvis Costello song "All This Useless Beauty" written specifically by him for Tabor, which she recorded for her album, Angel Tiger. Awards: In 2004 she was named Folk Singer of the Year at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. In 2011 Ragged Kingdon was named "Album of the Year" in the fROOTS critics poll,and once again, in 2012 Tabor won the Folk Singer of the Year at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. (Wikipedia).
