“Ins’Allah!”: Obama Chanukah Party Attacks Islamophobia, Calls for “Justice” for Palestinians
“I stand here to light these lights to say no the darkness of Islamophobia”
Daniel Greenfield

“The fact is that even if every American citizen biked to work, carpooled to school, used only solar panels to power their homes, if we each planted a dozen trees, if we somehow eliminated all of our domestic greenhouse gas emissions, guess what – that still wouldn’t be enough to offset the carbon pollution coming from the rest of the world.
If all the industrial nations went down to zero emissions – remember what I just said, all the industrial emissions went down to zero emissions – it wouldn’t be enough, not when more than 65% of the world’s carbon pollution comes from the developing world….”    John Kerry

And more dishonest bullshit from the NZ Herald.

‘Civics books say the U.S. is a representative democracy. But the truth is that it´s increasingly becoming a regulatory dictatorship, a trend made clear in a disturbing new report on the scale of federal rules. In his seven years in office, President Obama has signed 895 bills into law. Over the same period, federal regulators issued 24,478 rules. If you want an example of how unaccountable the federal government has become, it doesn´t get much better than that. The regulatory state is so massive that the government doesn´t even know how many regulatory agencies there are…’  Link
Another reason to view the ballot box as a farce, an empty ritual designed to maintain the illusion of participatory democracy.

UK Cop: ‘There Are Areas We Have To Ask Muslim Leaders’ Permission To Patrol’
Bad enough, and a tragedy for England. But what I find depressing is the knowledge that other Western countries will inevitably follow the example of Britain, while politicians, the media and the sheeple cling to the fatuous belief that “it can’t happen here”.
It can. It inevitably will.

‘Over 100,000 Britons petition to ban Donald Trump from UK
..In the past, people have been banned from entering Britain for fostering hatred that might provoke inter-community violence.’
“Fostering hatred”? That’s why so many muslim hate preachers have been denied entry to Britain, and why so many of them have been deported, right?
Right?

‘GCSB ‘Cortex’ system aimed at ISPs
The “Cortex” system Prime Minister John Key made public to counter claims of mass surveillance of New Zealanders is now being aimed at the internet service providers handling the emails and online data of everyday Kiwis.
…However, it also conceded that a rare set of circumstances could lead to GCSB staff reading people’s emails. In those cases, “all a GCSB analyst would be looking for in an email is evidence of malicious cyber activity”.
It says Cortex protection is important in dealing with intellectual property theft and data theft – including credit cards, destruction or hacking of private communications, holding data for ransom or attacking IT services.’
(bold mine)
This surveillance has fuck-all to do with keeping citizens safe – current events have demonstrated the uselessness of it – claims of terrorist attacks thwarted notwithstanding.
The driver behind this kind of surveillance and control is the interests of those who fund the political class. All else is bullshit.

Col. B. Bunny:
‘One gets used to the sight of seeing this freak of a man occupying the White House. Let’s not forget, however, that his presidency is marked by forgery, evasion, well-funded concealment, and open discussion of his prior heavy drug use and his homosexuality. He has the stink of communism on him from his mentor, the card-carrying communist Frank Marshall Davis, from Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn (communist terrorists), and from his adviser Valerie Jarrett with her two communist connections (grandfather and father-in-law). His “pastor” of 20 years called on God to damn American and bestowed an award on the Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan.
A giraffe in Carnegie Hall would make more sense than this Man of Mystery in the Oval Office…’

At the suggestion of a rotund digging bear.
