PHD (post hole digger)

I'm sure the chap that does these works at the same places I have...

Scum of the earth

"A SERVING British soldier was hacked to death in south east London metres away from his barracks by two machete-wielding men ranting “we swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you”.
In extraordinary broad daylight scenes in Woolwich, the men allegedly tried to hack the man’s head off and have their own crime filmed then waited 20 minutes for police to turn up before charging at them with meat cleavers, knives and a hand gun.
Both men, shouting Allah Akbar or God is great in Arabic, were shot by police snipers, including a female officer, and were this morning (AEST) in hospital under guard in a serious but stable condition.
…”We have suffered these attacks before, we have always beaten them back,” Mr Cameron said. “We will not be cowed, we will never buckle.”…’ (bold mine.)
Daily Mail

What is this 'WE' shit?
YOU have a protection detail armed to the teeth. Everybody else is denied any real means of defending themselves. By the politician hypocrite filth that have disarmed the commonality, in the name of 'public safety'.

Doesn't look all that friggin' safe out there.

Today it was just dumb luck they stopped at one murder. Next time and there WILL be a next time- there will be more killed and maimed.

And teach your friggin' snipers where the head is.

UPDATE:
As usual, the media have got it all wrong. Pistol shots on running targets and the shooters have done well. ('Two in the head makes him dead' is not part of the police training, unfortunately)

'Soft' drug decriminalization

I support the decriminalization of 'soft' drugs, as I feel the greatest harm is from associating with those that sell them.

But with rights (to toke) must come responsibilities:

Minors may not use these drugs.
Employers are still free to insist upon employees being free from drugs.
You may not receive a benefit if you test positive for dope (see above)
You can grow your own, but may not sell, trade or raffle- just like with homemade spirits. In fact, you MUST grow your own.
A landlord may refuse permission to grow or use dope on their property and doing so, or consuming constitutes grounds for eviction.

Also, those selling illicit drugs shall receive life imprisonment, or the death penalty for supplying to a minor.

More on conspiracy theories and the big lie

Remember Y2K and how the world was going to scream to a halt?

Didn't happen and I doubt that it would have caused more than a few minor hiccups. IT companies did very well out of it, though,

Various pandemics that failed eventuate. This is an ongoing one.

Man-made global warming, AKA climate change when that didn't pan out.

Running out of oil by 2000AD- an old one but somehow this too was wrong.

The world would be destroyed by AIDS- another old one that was also a fizzier.

Spot any trends here?

All of these made various groups a lot of money. And showed other snake-oil salesman that P.T. Barnum was right- there is a sucker born every minute...

Conspiracy Theories

I have a theory on conspiracy theories.

They are propagated to smokescreen for actual conspiracies.

We have been flooded with any number of theories- the black helicopters, shadow alien governments, contrails that are chemical spraying, sinister alumni, assorted mind-control schemes and so on.

Now anyone suggesting any sort of a government plot is debunked as a tinfoil-hat wearer. I mean, how could anyone thing that the government and its henchmen could be anything but benevolent (clue: ask the Jews)

Take the chemical contrails- purpose unsure, but I have heard everything from weather control to mass medication with mind-control drugs. Sounds crazy and probably is.

How about a group of Nazi scientists, secreted away after the war to make weaponry for the government, in exchange for them not being tried for war crimes such as the use of slave labour? No- this could not happen in a country that fought the Nazi regime!

Or in a foreign land, any intellectuals- say, somebody who wears glasses (by way of definition) are rounded up and killed or used as slave labour? Crazy!- what country would kill off all of their thinking people?

See how the line between reality and la-la land becomes blurred?

Truth is so often stranger than fiction. And less believable...

Thrown under a train

Freedom Fighter’s Journal, which has more links:
‘…General Ham was head of AFRICOM and Commander of the 2011 US-NATO operation to depose Gadhafi in Libya. Rear Admiral Charles M. Gaouette was in command of the Carrier Strike Group Three (CSG-3), then deployed in Middle Eastern waters during the attack on Benghazi.

Both Ham and Gaouette reported receiving the same desperate cables for additional security and backup that Obama administration officials received and ignored from Benghazi. They did not ignore those desperate calls for help ringing out from the Benghazi installation on 11 September 2012.

No, both Ham and Gaouette attempted to launch ready response teams in the region capable of provided the much needed assistance during the seven hour long assault on Benghazi. Both were then relieved of command for their actions, described by the US Military as “allegations of inappropriate leadership judgment.”

General Ham immediately had a rapid response unit ready and communicated to the Pentagon that he had a unit ready to deploy to Benghazi. Then, General Ham received the order to stand down. His response was “screw it,” – he was going to help anyway.

Within minutes after issuing an order to deploy his ready response team, Ham’s second in command apprehended the General and told him that he was now relieved of his command. Ham knows who issued the order to STAND DOWN as well as the order to relieve him of his command at AFRICOM…’

Why have they not been called to testify?

Another poster child for the death penalty

"A Wairarapa nurse was left seriously injured after one of three male patients allegedly attacked her in the back of an ambulance.

Lower Hutt Police Senior Sergeant Pat Thomas said yesterday a 28-year-old Masterton man was to appear in Hutt District Court facing a charge of injuring with intent to injure in relation to an attack late on Tuesday afternoon..."

Also from the 'only in Masterton' file

There was a time- not so long ago- that, in prison, the nurse was 'off limits' and even swearing at her got you a beating from the other inmates.

Looks like part of the population has hit rock bottom and started to dig...

Colour blinded

"A judge has asked for a mental health report to ascertain if a 57-year-old Masterton woman is fit to plead, after she allegedly assaulted and threatened to kill a 7-year-old boy because she "hated white people". (bold mine)

Malta Valetta Rimene, unemployed, appeared in Masterton District Court yesterday on two charges of assaulting a child and one of threatening to kill..."

OK- so why are the media not crying 'HATE CRIME'?

They seem to love the phrase when a minority is the victim of crime.

Yet I can conceive of fewer crimes more hateful that an adult attacking a defenseless child!
