The Race To Civil Unrest

One of the things many observers who refused to surrender the power to think for themselves came to fear as it became obvious that Barack Obama and his shadowy backers were likely to steal the US Presidency was that it would send the anti-racism industry into top gear. Sure enough in the UK we have seen Trevor Phillips, head of the Equality and Human Rights Council trying to pretend that the same kind of inequality as existed in the USA has always existed in Britain as well.

We have had to listen to a very good actor who has had major roles in many television and stage dramas whining that he is sick of "waiting for his career to take of in Britain" as if his colour is the only reason he is not given every role he demands. One of the ironies of the acting profession is that one person may become a star while many equally talented actors spend their career in supporting roles. The profession does not have a reliable career path and many actors would cut off their right arm for the parts David Harewood, currently playing Friar Tuck in the Robin Hood series.

Another black actor, Kwami Kwai Ameh whose career peaked when he played a paramedic in Casualty for several years has also complained of how his career has failed to take off. In his case work has become so scare he has become a writer, critic and professional race whiner. In his mind the lack of success after Casualty is entirely due to his colour and nothing at all to do with him having the acting ability of a plank.

To return to Friar Tuck, some race whiners have tried to make something of David Harewood's being "the first black member of The Merry Men". This is not true, I'm a great Robin Hood fan and distinctly remember a mixed race or perhaps North African actor having a featured role in either Kevin Costner's or Patrick Bergin's Merry Men in the 1980s films. The real point is though, why does it matter. It is only the race whiners who make us aware of David Harewood's colour. He is a good actor and plays the role without any Will Smith style smart - mouthed black guy schtick. There were certainly black people around in Medieval Britain, not many but some, they re referred to in literature as Blackamoors, so it is not impossible that one of Robin Hood's men could have been African or mixed race. The real point is nobody would notice if the race industry did not make a big deal of it. Most British viewers would say "Oh look, Friar Tuck is that guy who was the Detective Sergeant in The Vice and the fitness instructor in Fat Friends. He's been in loads of stuff, always plays the nice guy.

Perhaps Mr. Harewood's problem is not his colour but that he is just not a believable bastard.

What brought the attention of The Daily Stirrer to the race issue today was an article by a black writer. In Words and Deeds On Race Latoyah Peterson cites the case of a promotion examination for Fire-fighters in New York:

The fire-fighters took a promotional exam, but the results were abysmal - the International Hispanic Fire-fighter's Association notes: "For the lieutenant's exam, the pass rate for whites was 58.14%, but for African-Americans, it was 31.58%, and for Latinos, it was a mere 20%." The City of New Haven alleged that they were simply trying to avoid discriminatory hiring and promotion practices by shelving the results of the exam rather than taking action as a critical mass of black people and Latinos did not pass the exam.

So really she is complaining that the white guys felt miffed they were disqualified from promotion because the African Americans and Latinos did not do well enough to gain higher rank.

I'm 'with the New York fire brigade, anyone who puts his or her life on the line day after day has a right to lknow the person giving orders is in that position by virtue of being the best person for the job, not because of some politically correct nonsense.

In her argument she cites the McPherson report on the racism shown by the police who investigated the racist killing of Stephen Lawrence by a gang of white youths but makes no mention of the murder of 10 year old Damilola Taylor, a case which the race industry was set to turn into another media carnival until it was proved that the quiet, studious Damilola, recently arrived in Britain from Ghana with his professional parents who emigrated in order to give their children better opportunities, had been killed by Black boys slightly older than himself who were involved in gang violence and petty crime. There is seldom any mention of the fact that most violence on black or Asian people in Britain is by other black or Asian groups.

As long as the Politically Correct Though Police cannot understand that equality means just that and everybody must be treated in the same way the efforts of the race lobby, the multiculturalism brigade and the middle class guilt trippers will increase tensions. In a nation state there can only be one dominant culture, minorities must accept that they will be accepted so long as they do not try to gain privilege but amplifying complaints about bias.

in the case of the New York fire-fighters above the top guys should be promoted regardless of colour or ethnic origin. In the case of actors the role will go to the person the producer thinks is best for it. And in the case of murders, equal efforts must be made to bring the culprits to trial. It is also time we stopped being had over by the slavery ploy. At the time the slave trade was abolished in British colonies most Britons were working on the land or in factories, living mainly on porridge, oatcakes, mutton broth and a bit of cheese if they were lucky. They were certainly not enjoying lives of luxury funded by the fortunes made in the slave trade.

When Latoyah Peterson cites a paper that complains of European nations not doing enough to strike a balance between preserving the cultural diversity of ethnic and religious minorities and advancing the integration of individuals into the mainstream she is guilty of demanding a utopian solution. In Britain we have a long tradition of accepting immigrant groups and encouraging them to preserve their culture and traditions. Eventually though it is the incomer who must adapt to the British way. Were we to adapt to accommodate every immigrant group including those who do not wish their children to grow up speaking English as a first language, very soon our society would break down, inter racial and inter cultural conflict would be rife and nobody would be very interested in protecting minorities then.

It is not the colour of a person's skin that causes racism towards them but the way they behave.

If people want to be equal there can be no demands for privilege, no uplift on examination marks or affirmative action, such things will always cause resentment. Equal right means everybody gets the same. No special cases, SAME RULES APPLY.

Chemical Cosh For Kids That Do Not Conform
Indiscriminate prescription by doctors of Ritalin and similar drugs to children whose behavioural traits from brashnes to shyness were falsely (not wrongly, falsely) diagnosed as ADHD has always been controversial. Now an admission from the father of ADHD reveals something very shocking ...

The Banksters Bullion Heist: How The Gold Market Was Hi Jacked And The Banksters Robbed Us All
The rapid drop in gold prices recently has been said by some to be a sign a new economic crisis is imminent while others say it is a sign economic confidence is returning and the slump is over. It is neither, but rather a demostration of how banksters rig the markets in gold, commodities, currency ans shares, and rob us all.

Fears Of Violence And Unrest As English Town Prepares For Bilberberg Rally
The shadowy and secretive Bilderberg Group will hold their annual meeting at The Grove country house hotel complex just outside watford, England in early June. As usual this gathering of the super - rich and super - powerful will be accompanied by levels of secrecy and security never seen elsewhere.

Global Warming Theory Debunked By NASA
NASA, America's National Aeoronautical And Space Agency was in the forefront of the Anthropogenic Global Warming scare. Do you remember 'The Science Is Settled'? Well it wasn't, a trickle of thoise really awkward bastards who insist on thinking for themselves became a torrent and now even NASA are admitting it was all a hoax based on dodgy statistics and fraudulent physics.

What Is All That Aid Money Really being Used For
The marketing hype accompanying wars becomes progressively more boring and predictable. Whenever a "coalition of the willing" of western governments and their rather unsavoury regional allies deploys military intervention, it is certain the European Union will host or participate in a “donors’ conference”. These grotesque charades have become a feature Afghan campaign since 2001. When Gaza was bombed for three weeks in late 2008 and early 2009, the EU rushed...

Angelina's Tits: Was the world too quick to celebrate the unnecessary double mastectomy
Was the world right to make Angelina Jolie a hero for having her healthy breasts removed? Now the commercial motivations behind the move are coming to light, it seems Ms. Jolie's double mastectomy on the strength of manmmograms that revealed patented genes that contribute little to cancer risk but much to corporate profits could have been a career destroying misjudgement.

Prescription of dangerous antidepressants that cause sudden death is rapidly expanding

Two stories that show how the banksters plant to control your cash and how you spend it
I have written many articles over the years about how machines and technology are talking over our lives. Slaves To The Machine ( www.scribd.com/doc/117509296/Slaves-To-The-Machine ) is a keynote article for all my websites and blogs and new stories bringing more evidence to support the predictions I make in it are emerging constantly. Two new ones appeared this week ...

He Who Controls The Food Controls The Universe.
A reference to Frank Herbert's Dune in the title, but this is not a fan piece. While the US Administration bends, lifts its shirt and invites fascist biotech corporate to fuck the American public up the arse, it's good to know some people are stll fighting to keep some democratic control of what goes into our bodies.

All Your Gene Are Belong Us - You Don't Own Your Body, Obama's Government Does Barack Hussein Obama is rapidly becoming known as the sellout President, he has welched on every electoral promise and bent over backwards (and forwards we hear) to accomodate his corporate paymasters. Well some of us did try to warn you he was The New World Order's houseboy. Now he is even giving the corporations rights over citizens bodies.

He Who Controls The Food Controls The Universe Remember that famous line from Frank Herbert's science fiction novels in the Dune series, "He who controls the spice controls the Universe"? Just substitute the word food for spice and the line is starting to look eerily prophetic. Greenpeace the environmental protection group claimed a rare victory against the march of corporate fascism when

Washington Signals Fears Over Dollar
Over the past month there have been some bizarre movements in financial marketsthat can only be explained as a conspiracy to protect the US dollar from the inevitable consequences Federal Reserve’s policy of Quantitative Easing (QE) which has been going on since the financial crisis began in 2008.

Lies, Damned Lies and ... umm... Those Other Things ... oh yeah, statistics.
Were I able to muster the kind of blind faith Mr. Chivers and other "science" nerds place in statistics I would invest it in one of the traditional religions and at least be able to convince myself there is a chance of being resurrected into the life eternal. As it is, unlike Science fans who proclaim their atheism but have a zealots faith in science, I am a true sceptic...

Children Given Chemical Cosh For Fictitious Disease

Critics of the Ritalin disaster which saw many lived ruined by the prescription of 'bonkers' drug Ritalin for "ADHD" are now getting support from an unexpected quarter. The German weekly Der Spiegel quoted in its cover story on 2 February 2012 the US American psychiatrist Leon Eisenberg, born in 1922 as the son of Russian Jewish immigrants, who was the “scientific father of ADHD” and who said at...

Looming Health Crisis: Wireless Technology and the Toxification of America
As a multitude of hazardous wireless technologies are deployed in homes, schools and workplaces, government officials and industry representatives continue to insist on their safety despite growing evidence to the contrary. A major health crisis looms that is only hastened through the extensive deployment of “smart grid” technology.

Scientific Dictatorship: The Total Surveillance Society Is Coming Soon.
Just because you're paranoid, it does not mean they are not watching you. The totall surveillance society is spreading as fast as your freedom is disappearing. CCTV, Drones, Google data snooping, giant databases, everything you do is monitored and logged.

War On Terror, War On Drugs, Jihad Against Junk Food
why have the elite taken against 'junk food' a concept for which their is no accepted definition. Well there has been talk of a tax on fatty foods but that went quiet when it was pointed out pate de fois gras, Chateaubriand, Steak Diane and other gourmet treats were very fatty.

Monsanto Owns The Life Reproducing Process Says U S CourtPoliticised Judges show bias in finding for the Corporate giant and helping advance its agenda to control the food supply. This is the corporation that wants to make sure nobody ever eats ant product, plant or animal, that is not genertically modified. And the shits who have hijecked our societies, the politicians, lawyers, bankers and scientists are happy to sell us out to these fascists and help create their Brave New World.

Eat Insectes, good food is only for elitists says United Nations
Very survivalist, very Soylent Green. The scientific advisers of that hotbed of elitism where the politicians, international lawyers, bankers and top academics, the U N (United Nazis) has been thinking about the incipient food crisis. And they say the food shopping list of all us ordinary punters in future will include Bread, Milk, Grubs, Beetles, Maggots, Locusts, Worms and Spiders.

The Jihad On Junk Food
You must have grown tired of all the wars governments are fighting. Not shooting wars (although the war on terror is war on an abstract concept) but war on smoking, war on drugs, war on crime, war on anti - social behaviour and the one they will never win, the war on alcohol. Government's must have grown tired too, or maybe
