Over 18 million human beings starve to death in third world countries around the world annually. According to the World Health Organization,10 million of them are children that die of starvation or related conditions yearly. When you watch religious channels featuring appeals to “Save the Children” in Africa, South America and Asia, what constitutes the driving condition of their plight?

Illiteracy! Culture! Profligate fecundity!

At the same time, how can the Western world in Europe and North America enjoy endless ‘all you can eat’ buffets seven days a week that created over 180 million obese people in the United States alone?

Education! Culture! Personal choice!

What happens when a highly educated society, culture and people such as the United States degrades or devolves its educational systems toward illiteracy and loss of personal accountability?

Look around you! You watched that process clutch at the throat of American educational system for the last 40 years—and today; it’s got us by the carotid artery.

What do 35 million Americans subsisting on food stamps indicate? Answer: poor or no educational achievement.

APATHY AND TOLERANCE: THE MOST DEADLY VIRTUES OF AMERICAN SOCIETY

Personal responsibility: do you think 400,000 pregnant women annually that arrive in America unlawfully will birth tomorrow’s responsible citizens? Do you think millions of unwed American mothers that bring 1,2,3,4 and five children into this world using welfare “Aid to Dependent Children” will rear responsible, intelligent and contributing future citizens?

Personal accountability: do you think the 1.2 million high school dropouts annually in the USA will become thriving, contributing and responsible future citizens? You see, that number of academic failures has been mounting for over 10 years, thus, 11 million illiterate kids wandering the streets of America.

Do you think ethnic groups that abhor education or quit from their own lack of parental guidance, drive and academic ability will remain docile in the burgeoning slums? Here or worldwide?

Will visitors to the 2010 Soccer World Cup be safe, secure and have easy access the venues?

This venture capital gamble on the entertainment industry, using the money of the poorest of people as the risked capital, was the product of a small cadre in the African National Congress. Far from being debated, the decision never even traversed the South African Parliament.

South Africa is a country in which the population continues to grow rapidly, and has outstripped every limb of the infrastructure. This failure includes the capacity to maintain law and order, which appears to be failing at almost every level of the legal system.

The 2000 new cars which were being introduced into the road system every day in South Africa were not matched by an equivalent increase in the road traffic infrastructure. Cape Town now has only one traffic engineer (because of “affirmative action” disenchantment). Gridlock is becoming common. Probably the greatest problem which followers of a team will meet will be to get to the next venue, Do not believe that there will be trains to be caught at short notice (people also get thrown from moving trains) or that there will be sufficient aircraft capacity. Even getting to the airports could be agonising.

South Africa has a fundamentally unstable population in an uneasy equilibrium. This is because of the extraordinary spectrum of different social classes, wealth, education, language and race. Part of that equation is sustained because the poor cannot react economically to protect themselves in a way that the wealthy can. Most can therefore only retreat into

non-confrontational poverty: but for many the only way only out is crime. It is an uneasy equilibrium and fragile balance.

Meanwhile, the black “middle classes” have shown themselves to be extractive, corrupt, and spendthrift in an astonishing fashion. 30% of the white population, who effectively operated the country in the past, have left an unfilled administrative vacuum.

The South African government has found it impossible to control the borders with a constant unmonitored flood into the country. There is no prospect of regaining control of “illegal immigrants”. The surge of ambitious pickpockets, cut-throats and HIV positive prostitutes, from the huge reservoir that is the rest of impoverished tropical Africa, into South Africa has already started. So the instability will increase.

Following on from my earlier article, relating to the brutal and dishonest show trial which the BBC Question Time programme descended into on Thursday evening, I would now like to focus on some of the claims and allegations made during the show, but which were not fairly or accurately addressed largely due to the hostility of a politically stacked audience and the actions of an outrageously biased moderator.

The first of those which I was planning to address were the allegations of Holocaust denial levelled at Nick Griffin, and the subsequent claims made both on the programme and later by much of the News media, that he failed to answer these allegations. However, this point has already been addressed very eloquently by my good friend and fellow crusader the Green Arrow in an earlier article.

As the Green Arrow points out, Nick Griffin is an elected Member of the European Parliament, a position which requires him to travel to various countries within Europe, including some where the admission to having once expressed views which question the accuracy of the historical account, no matter how long ago, can render one liable to prosecution and a lengthy prison sentence. Griffin states that he no longer holds those views, however, to go into any further detail about what he once believed, and why he changed his mind, would be to put himself at significant legal risk, everyone else on the panel, with the possible exception of Bonnie Greer, who’s grasp on reality (as I shall show in part three) seemed somewhat tenuous, knew that.

In the circumstances, UK Justice Secretary Jack Straw’s assurance that Griffin would not be prosecuted, echoed by the staggeringly disingenuous moderator, David Dimbleby, were shamelessly dishonest. They knew full well that the risk to Griffin lay in other countries within the European Union, where the assurances of a British Justice Secretary carry as much weight as a cup of cold spit.

Five European nationalist parties are forming an alliance in opposition to the European Union and globalization, officials said Saturday.

Hungary’s Jobbik, France’s National Front, Italy’s Three-Color Flame, Sweden’s National Democrats and Belgium’s National Front formed the Alliance of European National Movements, saying the British National Party, Austria’s Freedom Party as well as groups from Spain and Portugal would join them soon.

Far-right parties won a surprisingly large number of seats in June’s European parliamentary elections. Jobbik got three seats and nearly 15 percent of the vote in Hungary, while the British National Party won two seats and 6 percent of the vote.

Nationalist parties are usually opposed to immigration and increased rights for homosexuals, say globalization will homogenize independent cultures and don’t want supranational bodies like the European Union to limit the rights of individual countries.

“This is an important step … for the renaissance of sovereign nations,” Marc Abramsson, president of Sweden’s National Democrats, said about the alliance. “It is a struggle for our own culture and heritage.”

“Globalists would like to have one world, with one language and one culture. Their interest is to get money from selling the same products all over the world,” Abramsson said.

As my readers know, I am a fan of economics and of history, as well as politics, a combination that forms some very interesting cycles to research, discuss and argue on. None is so interesting than the death of great nations, for here there is always the self destruction that comes before the final breakups and invasions. As they say: Rome did not fall to the barbarians, all they did was kick in the rotting gates.

It can be safely said, that the last time a great nation destroyed itself through its own hubris and economic folly was the early Soviet Union (though in the end the late Soviet Union still died by the economic hand). Now we get the opportunity to watch the Americans do the exact same thing to themselves. The most amazing thing of course, is that they are just repeating the failed mistakes of the past. One would expect their fellow travelers in suicide, the British, to have spoken up by now, but unfortunately for the British, their education system is now even more of a joke than that of the Americans.

While taking a small breather from mouthing the never ending propaganda of recovery, never mind that every real indicator is pointing to death and destruction, the American Marxists have noticed that the French and Germans are out of recession and that Russia and Italy are heading out at a good clip themselves. Of course these facts have been wrapped up into their mind boggling non stop chant of “recovery” and hope-change-zombification. What is ignored, of course, is that we and the other three great nations all cut our taxes, cut our spending, made life easy for small business…in other words: the exact opposite of the Anglo-Sphere.

That brings us to Cap and Trade. Never in the history of humanity has a more idiotic plan been put forward and sold with bigger lies. Energy is the key stone to any and every economy, be it man power, animal power, wood or coal or nuclear. How else does one power industry that makes human life better (unless of course its making the bombs that end that human life, but that’s a different topic). Never in history, with the exception of the Japanese self imposed isolation in the 1600s, did a government actively force its people away from economic activity and industry.

Fyodor Dostoevsky has rightly been called a prophet of the modern age. With a depth of vision unrivalled, he saw that cultural, political, and economic disorder have their main source in the crisis of the spirit.

Dostoevsky foresaw how man’s rebellion against the Transcendent would progressively accelerate into full-blown anarchy. In The Possessed, he was particularly attentive to show us the spiritual corruption of the ruling class, the so-called “conservative” elements of society. Dostoevsky wrote about Russia, but he was also deeply sensitive to the West’s descent into secularism.

Parties like the Republicans and the Tories have done nothing to arrest the decline of our societies because they ultimately share the same radical, anti-traditional principles of the Left. For evidence, look no further than Britain’s rapid transformation into a crime-ridden, multicultural surveillance state otherwise known as “Cool Britannia”, or at the mass of contradictions in the program of the new Edmund Burke Institute in Washington, DC (Richard just recently addressed both examples).

If one holds fast to the ideals of modernity, if one’s faith in sacred Progress, Equality, Democracy, Total Individual Autonomy, etc. is unshaken, opposition is meaningless and purely cosmetic. Rhetorical nods to cultural consolidation are articulated within the corrosive framework of Enlightenment rights ideology, and only for the purpose of grabbing votes. The conservative movement knows what’s really important: generous contributions from the financial and defense industries to maintain policies of corporate centralization and overseas empire.

Many years ago there was a group of people whom the government labeled “Extremists”, “Insubordinates”, “Threats to The Nation”. The government of which I speak, was Great Britain; and that group of extremists, the Founding Fathers of the United States of America, who ultimately broke free from the bonds of the British Empire and the United Kingdom of Great Britain to form a stronger, freer, more prosperous nation.

Ironically, over two hundred years later, another group have been labeled with those same tags and for very much the same reasons. Our government wants to control our lives, take our money, run our businesses, decide what’s best for us and for our families, and we The People of these United States of America – like our ancestors before us – are fighting back! But will this fight need to come to the same conclusion as did the fight over two hundred years ago? Or will our power-mongering government wise up and see who ultimately has the power?

What our government sadly has become, is that very oppressive government our founders fought to break free of. It was a bloody war – the American Revolutionary War, also called The War of Independence – which ultimately escalated into a global war between several European superpowers. This was a massive fight; and the People won; and we will again!

The newly formed American Government fought against one of the most powerful kingdoms in the world – a royal kingdom who demanded to tax the American settlers, even though the British Government had no intention of representing any of them; they would have no say in any part of the Government. No vote. No representation. Just pay up your taxes so we can spread your wealth and prosperity throughout Great Britain.

The parallels are remarkable, really. Many would argue – myself included – that our government has completely lost touch with Americans and is no longer representing anyone but their own interests – personal and political. Washington wants only to take our profits, our earning, our hard earned wealth, and spread it throughout America in an effort to create a fail-proof democratic voter base for future elections. This is of course simply just until they can manage to bring an end to that voting nonsense, too.

If all goes as planned, the 27 member states of the European Union will soon have a common hate crime legislation, which will turn disapproval for Islamic practices or homosexual lifestyles into crimes. Europe’s Christian churches are trying to stop the plan of the European political establishment, but it is unclear whether they will be successful. The media are silent on the topic.

Last April, the European Parliament approved the European Union’s Equal Treatment Directive. A directive is the name given to an EU law. As directives overrule national legislation, they need the approval of the European Council of Ministers before coming into effect. Next month, the Council will decide on the directive, which places the 27 EU member states under a common anti-discrimination legislation. The directive’s definition of discriminatory harassment is so broad that every objection to Muslim or homosexual practices will be considered unlawful.

On April 2, the European Parliament passed the “directive on implementing the principle of equal treatment between persons irrespective of religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation,” 363 votes to 226. The directive applies to social protection and health care, social benefits, education and access to goods and services, including housing. American citizens and companies doing business in Europe are also required to adhere to it.

Originally intended to serve as an equal treatment directive for the disabled by prohibiting discrimination when accessing “goods and services, including housing,” activist European politicians and governments had the directive’s scope expanded to include discrimination on the basis of religion, age and sexual orientation.

Under the directive, harassment – defined as conduct “with the purpose or effect of violating the dignity of a person and of creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment” – is deemed a form of discrimination.

Harassment, as vaguely defined in the directive, allows an individual to accuse someone of discrimination merely for expressing something the individual allegedly perceives as creating an “offensive environment.” The definition is so broad that anyone who feels intimidated or offended can easily bring legal action against those whom he feels are responsible. Moreover, the directive shifts the burden of proof onto the accused, who has to prove the negative, i.e. demonstrate that he or she did not create an environment which intimidated or offended the complainant. If the accused fails to do so, he or she can be sentenced to paying an unlimited amount of compensation for “harassment.”

Almost two years ago to the day, my column in this space asked whether a Montebello schoolteacher named John Monti was being “Nifonged” by then-San Diego City Attorney Mike Aguirre.

“Nifonged” is the verb coined to describe the prosecution of an innocent individual for political purposes —- as the North Carolina district attorney, Mike Nifong, did to three Duke lacrosse players.

Nifong’s misconduct not only cost him his job, it also cost him his law license.

Aguirre is now out of office but only because he was defeated at the polls in November.

A jury acquitted Monti in September 2007 of the assault charges brought against him —- a prosecution whose motivation seemed designed to punish Monti for attempting to expose the underage sex-trafficking he believes occurs in illegal migrant camps such as those in Rancho Penasquitos’ McGonigle Canyon.

At least four 911 calls identified Monti as the victim, not the perpetrator, of an assault at Highway 56 and Rancho Penasquitos Boulevard, where he was taking pictures of laborers.

Those lost, suppressed or ignored calls made on Nov. 18, 2006, did not deter Aguirre’s team —- whose case against Monti was in no small measure organized by the executive director of California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation, Claudia Smith.
