‘An award-winning neurosurgeon has sparked a furious debate after offering people the chance to watch him perform live brain surgery.
Sydney-based Charlie Teo has offered people the opportunity to spend a day with him as he treats patients and carries out surgery for £5,000 at charity auctions.
The flamboyant surgeon, 53, has been accused of turning his profession into a ‘spectator sport’ and risked intruding on patients’ privacy.
…Dr Teo was awarded the Order of Australia this week for pioneering keyhole surgery techniques for brain cancer.’    source

A “furious debate”? Hardly…just a few fossils who object to what he’s doing and who are most likely more concerned with the mystique and dignity of the profession than the end result of the great work the man does. The patient privacy angle is bullshit–any patient would surely have the right to decline a spectator’s presence.
Good onya, Charlie! May you live long and prosper.

is up, and the part that’s titled “weaponized food” makes for sobering reading.
‘….Socialism is envy and hate enabled by terror. The briefest inquiry into socialism reveals its attraction to the unstable, the deviant and the psychopath. It craves domination without limit, not just of men but of the man. Socialists don’t accept or tolerate the concept of the inner-directed person and despise those who do. They’re obsessed with managing the least detail of each person’s life and tip into a rage at the smallest lapse in fawning devotion. In the US we’re astonished with their fixation with what we eat when we should be wary of their indifference to whether we eat. The twentieth century says this is not an overstatement…..’

Here’s the headline they gave a report on Gillard’s flood levy:

‘Australia Raises a Tax to Cover the Costs of Climate Change‘
And don’t you just love this part: “The Australian floods temporarily shut the coal mines that are most responsible for climate change..”

‘Virginia Democratic Rep. Jim Moran is blaming his party’s losses last November in large part on voters who “don’t want to be governed by an African-American.”     source

Of course! That’s it!  Pure racism.  The wipeout the Dems suffered in the mid-terms has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that the Kenyan is a lying, undocumented fraud who spends money and increases the national debt at a staggering rate, who appoints known terrorists and communists to key positions, who actively colludes in fraud and malfeasance on a grand scale. Nossir—the racists engineered the humiliating defeat.  And the asshole made this statement in an interview with an Arab TV station!

‘Stoned to death with her lover: Horrific video of execution of girl, 19, killed by Afghan Taliban for running away from arranged marriage
TALIBAN SPOKESMAN: ‘Anyone who knows about Islam knows that stoning is in the Koran, and that it is Islamic law. There are people who call it inhuman – but in doing so they insult the Prophet. They want to bring foreign thinking to this country’

But it’s apparently ok for islamists who want to bring “foreign thinking” into the West. The only real difference between these people and communists/nazis is the funny outfits. And it beggars belief that Western banks are introducing “Sharia compliant banking” while our political masters continue to import these primitive vermin in their thousands.

From the comments section over at Kiwiblog. Hone Harawira, the Maori Party MP’s family:

“Harawira was charged with two counts of injuring Matthews with intent to injure him and one of threatening to kill him. Otere Halkyard, Hinewhare Harawira, and Tui Pere were charged on the same two counts of injuring with intent to injure and Arthur George Harawira on the second of those counts. Following a 12 day trial in the District Court at Auckland they were all found guilty on the charges they respectively faced and on conviction were sentenced to imprisonment, Mrs Titewhai Harawira to nine months and each of the other to six months.”
These scumbags had a contract to run a Maori mental health unit and pulled down vast amounts of taxpayer’s dollars in the process. Matthews was a patient who was systematically beaten by these thugs and he wasn’t the only one.
John Key chose to go into partnership with the party that condones the actions of these people. And what’s described above is just the tip of the grubby iceberg. Remember this, come the next elections, because the NZ media sure as hell won’t mention it.

‘…This dismissal of the American people’s intellectual, spiritual, and moral substance is the very heart of what our ruling class is about. Its principal article of faith, its claim to the right to decide for others, is precisely that it knows things and operates by standards beyond others’ comprehension…’          Angelo M. Codevilla

‘EXCLUSIVE: How much money did the United Nations Development Program, the U.N.’s flagship anti-poverty agency, spend to create 5,280 “green” jobs around the world?
UNDP has said the price tag is $53.9 million—an average of $10,208 per job spent in 2010 on 135 environmental projects world-wide.
But according to documentation obtained by Fox News, the projects that generated those jobs have a total cost of about $1.68 billion—which would work out to a much more staggering average figure of about $288,700 per job.’

Cute critters, and they come out in the hundreds of thousands every evening.

On the Cairns waterfront. Amazingly, they’re in the middle of the wharf in a busy commercial area and they haven’t been damaged or covered in graffiti.
