EU rejects eastern states' call to outlaw denial of crimes by communist regime

Eastern European states wanted Soviet crimes 'treated according to the same standards' as those of Nazi regimes

The European commission has rejected calls from eastern Europe to introduce a so-called double genocide law that would criminalise the denial of crimes perpetrated by communist regimes, in the same way many EU countries ban the denial of the Holocaust. Last week six countries wrote to Viviane Reding, the European justice commissioner, calling for the "public condoning, denial and gross trivialisation of totalitarian crimes" to be punished. Foreign ministers from Lithuania, Latvia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and the Czech Republic said communist crimes "should be treated according to the same standards" as those of Nazi regimes, notably in those countries with Holocaust denial laws. But the EU executive will say in a report due tomorrow that opinion is too divided on the matter and that there is no legal basis allowing Brussels to act. "There is no consensus on it. The different member states have wildly differing approaches," EU justice spokesman Matthew Newman told the Guardian. He said the commission takes the issue "very seriously", but: "At this stage, the conditions to make a legislative proposal have not been met. The commission will continue to keep this matter under review." The east European countries point to the EU's ability to make laws relating to "particularly serious" cross-border crimes and a separate EU decision permitting the crafting of rules targeting racism and xenophobia. But the commission says neither legal instrument mentions totalitarianism and rejects the idea of double genocide. "The bottom line is, obviously, what they did was horrendous, but communist regimes did not target ethnic minorities," said Newman. According to Lithuania, whose foreign minister leads the campaign to create a new law, the EU's understanding of genocide should be extended to include crimes against groups defined by "social status or political convictions". Andrius Grikienis, a spokesman for Lithuania's mission to the EU, said: "During the first years of Soviet occupation, Lithuania lost more than 780,000 of its residents. 444,000 fled Lithuania or were repatriated, 275,697 were deported to the gulag or exile, 21,556 resistance fighters and their supporters were killed and 25,000 died on the front."http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/dec/21/european-commission-communist-crimes-nazism

Israel: Sex Fiend Moshe Katsav Found Guilty Of Rape And Other Sex Crimes

Ex-Israeli president found guilty of rape

Thursday, December 30, 2010 - 08:36 AM

Former Israeli president Moshe Katsav has been convicted of raping a former employee.

Today’s conviction means Katsav will face a minimum of four years in prison.

The verdict marks the climax of a four-and-a-half-year saga that has riveted the nation as it watched its former top citizen face the most serious charges ever levelled at an Israeli public official.

Katsav, aged 65, is also facing charges of lesser sex crimes involving two other former employees. A verdict on those charges is expected later today.

Israel’s presidency is a largely ceremonial position, but the allegations gripped the country by portraying Katsav as a predatory boss who forced himself on female employees.

Katsav resigned in 2007 and was replaced by Shimon Peres.

Feminists Surprised their Daughters are Sluts

December 27, 2010

"Civilized sexual behavior is based on upholding marriage and motherhood. Only then are promiscuity prevented and females valued for their character and ability. Now they're like cheap whores holding numbers in a Bangkok brothel."

"We must introduce into their education all those principles which have so brilliantly broken up their order."  Protocols of Zion, 16

by Henry Makow,  Ph.D.
(From August 11, Revised Dec. 26) 
http://www.henrymakow.com/why_are_feminists_surprised_da.html


In a recent article "Outraged Moms, Trashy Daughters" by Anne Kingston, (Macleans, Aug 16, 2010)   mothers lament that their daughters now see "empowerment"  in terms of pleasuring males.

While the feminist mothers saw power as financial independence and rejected female "objectification," their daughters accept the pornographic message of pop music and advertising. In the words of one mom, they "believe their purpose in life is to be sexual beings who please men."

"A blow job is like shaking hands," said another mom.  "Their attitude is: 'We're emancipated, we're liberated, we're in control. They see [it] as power; I see it as giving their power away."

Indeed it is. But:  Who taught they could have sex outside of courtship, love and marriage? Who tarred the roles of wife and mother? Who tore down men i.e."the patriarchy" ? 
Feminists did. An essentially lesbian disorder, feminism brainwashed young women to see husbands as oppressors and family as bondage. There was no longer any reason to restrict sex to love and marriage.

"Women's rights" indeed! Feminism is Communist in origin. Communists view women as a public utility. It is classic divide-and-conquer,  satanic subterfuge which now extends far beyond gender.

Civilized sexual behavior is based on upholding marriage and motherhood. Only then are promiscuity prevented and females valued for their character and ability. Now they're like cheap whores holding numbers in a Bangkok brothel.

Understandably, feminists won't admit they've been cynically betrayed by their teachers and political leaders. Feminism was created by elite social engineers to reduce population and undermine marriage and family.


FEMINISTS IN DENIAL

Even while wringing their hands, feminists are blinded by their ideology. (The article veers off into a discussion of how feminism is still relevant.) 

The words "love," "marriage," "husband" and "family" do not appear  in the article. No wonder they can't understand the problem and what to do about it.
In the past, men had to commit before they could have sex.  As a result, women were cherished for themselves and given a lifelong role  that satisfied their deepest emotional needs.

Both mothers and daughters are victims of deliberate social subversion. A woman's career used to be wife and mother. She consecrated her sexuality for the man she loved, the father of her children, her protector and provider.

Young women today are up a creek. They are going to be left high and dry. Even if they land a man, they've lost the ability to love him.

Marriage and motherhood is a woman's biological and social destiny. It ensures she is needed, loved and secure long after her sex appeal has faded. It's mind blowing that young women are so heedless of their own self-interest.    

TRUE BEAUTY

Young women obsess on beauty but true beauty comes from within, from a spiritual purity. This means rejecting all coarse influences and behavior. It means focusing on the qualities that make for a good person, wife and mother. 

"I don't meet many girls who feel good about themselves, even though they are totally gorgeous," one social worker says.

How could they ... giving their bodies to strangers who dump them? 

Girls figure they have to or boys will get it from other girls. That's like saying, "if I don't let muggers beat me, other girls will."

Apparently the saying is true: "Woman's virtue is man's greatest invention." 

"Father" is another word totally absent from the article.  Girls could get love, self respect and guidance from their fathers. But their feminist mothers probably drove their fathers away. 

It's not too late for girls to become women again. There can be no sex without courtship and love. If other girls give it away, let them suffer the consequences. 

Girls can become feminine again by making marriage and family their first priority. If they refocus on being attractive to the right man, they can regain the path to fulfillment and happiness.

Jeremy Clarkson and his Top Gear co-stars have sparked religious outrage after dressing up in burkas on the Boxing Day special.
Clarkson and Richard Hammond decided to dress in niqabs, a form of the burka where everything but the eyes are covered, in order to disguise themselves on the road.
They also got James May in on the act when they greeted him from hospital after he fell and hit his head on rocks in the Syrian desert.

Jobbik: No to Israel's admission to the EU

Zoltan Balczo, Jobbik vice-president and the Hungarian Parliament's vice-chair

The Fidesz government stepped up its effort for the accession of Turkey and Israel to the European Union (EU). On Monday, Hungarian Foreign Minister Janos Martonyi arrived in Israel for a two-day visit, while in Hungary, the Parliament voted for Israel's admission to the EU.

While the Fidesz majority in the Hungarian National Parliament voted in favour of the legislation to allow Israel to be tied closer to the EU, the Jobbik (Movement for a Better Hungary) Party voted against the motion.

Zoltan Balczo, speaking for Jobbik in the Parliament, emphasised the main concerns. Voting for the law, he explained, would mean the full liberalisation of settlement and the full integration of Israel's economy. The same rules would apply for the Israelis considering the free movement of goods, circulation of products, services and finance, freedom of businesses and settlements and access to public sources. It would mean that Simon Peres' statement from 2006 would become real when the Israeli President stated that "Israel is buying up Manhattan, Poland and Hungary".

Jobbik MP Zoltan Balczo who is the vice-president of the Hungarian Parliament also categorically rejected the outragous accusations of Fidesz politician Zsolt Nemeth.
Nemeth, who is the head of the foreign cabinet of the Fidesz-government made remarks during a plenary session, accusing Balczo of being an "anti-semite" for the simple reason of Jobbik's stand on the issue.

Balczo responded: "While knowing that we are not anti-semites, telling the truth will result in false labels that we will have to face."

Quite contrary to the suggested and alleged anti-semitism in Budapest and Hungary, the State of Israel enjoys current Hungarian government support. The above mentioned Foreign Minister Martonyi on his visit to Israel said that "Hungary's prospering Jewish community, which is regaining its identity, and Hungarian-speaking Israelis, of whom 15,000 have already been granted Hungarian citizenship, constitute important factors of profound historical friendship between the two nations."

Yes, the anti-semitic labels are wearing thin./http://www.jobbik.com/jobbik-announcements/3192.html3192.html

Jobbik: Turkey must respect EU-borders

Csanad Szegedi Jobbik MEP and party vice-president

Greece has asked the European Union (EU) for the immediate deployment of Rapid Border Intervention Teams along its frontier with Turkey, where five times as many illegal crossings than usual were detected lately. Athens alone is unable to cope with illegal immigration which tends to threaten all of Europe including Hungary.

Since Ankara does not respect EU frontiers as it is not preventing the illegal crossings, this unacceptable state of affairs clearly indicates that accession of Turkey to the European Union is definitely out of place. Illegal immigrants and 'refugees' from Turkey, the Middle East or Africa inherently mean drugs, delinquency let alone the growing number of third world welfare spongers.

Turkey is not suitable for full EU membership because it cannot comply with European values. It is our best interest to hold off countries which seem not to meet the requirements.

I expect Brussels to call upon Ankara to be observant of our borders.

Will 2011 See The Collapse Of The Euro As Well As The EU Super State? I Damn Well Hope So.

HALF OF GERMANS WANT TO AXE THE EURO

49 per cent of ­Germans still wish they had the mighty Deutchmark

Tuesday December 28,2010

By Martyn Brown

Have your say(18)

HALF of all Germans want to ditch the euro and bring back their deutschmark, according to a poll.

Despite a year of prop­aganda from their government informing them that the beleaguered European currency is good for them, 49 per cent of ­Germans still wish they had the mighty mark in their pockets.

This is one of the highest proportions of Germans wanting its return since polls in the 1990s showed close to 70 per cent of them wanted to retain the mark, the currency of their “economic miracle”.

DAILY EXPRESS CRUSADE: GET US OUT OF EUROPE

The recent crises in Greece and Ireland have contributed to further disillusion.

In the survey for the daily Bild newspaper, only 41 per cent of people were satisfied with the euro. Most of the rest said they did not know what to think.

The survey found that the majority of Germans are ­worried about the stability of the currency and the ­possibility of inflation.

Three-quarters of the ­people questioned by YouGov said they personally had not profited from the adoption of the euro.

And if Germany was not part of the eurozone, only 30 per cent of those asked would today vote to adopt the euro and 60 per cent would vote against it.

Yet despite the concerns, the majority believe the euro is here to stay.

Asked whether the euro would still be country’s ­currency in 20 years, 55 per cent of the respondents replied yes. Germany adopted the euro in 1999 along with 10 other countries.

Since then Germany has become the underwriter of the troubled currency, propping up both Greece and Ireland in a bid to keep it, and the entire EU project, alive.

Now Germans are bracing themselves for Portugal to come calling with the begging bowl as well.

Deutsche Bank announced shortly before Christmas that it expected Lisbon would need a bail-out.

Germany spent billions on ditching the deutschmark and switching to the euro and on persuading the public it was a good thing.

But earlier this month Chancellor Angela Merkel warned that her country could pull out of the euro as nations wrangled over the future of the single currency.

Such is the negative feeling towards the European ­currency, the euro is now known in Germany as the teuro – a play on the word teuer, meaning expensive.

Germans still hoard an ­estimated £5.5 billion worth of marks in their homes, based on the old exchange that three marks were worth £1.

Most older Germans still calculate prices in their heads in marks.

That so many now favour the euro’s farewell is sending shockwaves through the ­Merkel-led coalition, already trailing badly in opinion polls. The unpopularity of the euro in Germany also fuels widespread anxiety across Europe about the Brussels regime.

The growing uprising in Germany, Europe’s largest economy, adds weight to the Daily Express crusade for Britain to pull out of the EU.

Tens of thousands of readers have backed our crusade over the past few weeks ­calling for the Government to take a stand against constant ­meddling from Eurocrats.

$10.2 trillion: The amount of money advanced-nation governments will need to borrow in 2011
As the debts of advanced countries rise to levels not seen since the aftermath of World War II, it’s hard to know how much is too much. But it’s easy to see that the risk of serious financial trouble is growing.
Next year, fifteen major developed-country governments, including the U.S., Japan, the U.K., Spain and Greece, will have to raise some $10.2 trillion to repay maturing bonds and finance their budget deficits, according to estimates from the International Monetary Fund. That’s up 7% from this year, and equals 27% of their combined annual economic output.
Aside from Japan, which has a huge debt hangover from decades of anemic growth, the U.S. is the most extreme case. Next year, the U.S. government will have to find $4.2 trillion. That’s 27.8% of its annual economic output, up from 26.5% this year. By comparison, crisis-addled Greece needs $69 billion, or 23.8% of its annual GDP.

So far, with the notable exception of Greece, major advanced nations haven’t had too much trouble raising the money they need. Japan’s domestic investors have consistently bought its government bonds despite their low yield. Foreign investors have been snapping up U.S. Treasury bonds, which remain the world’s premier safe-haven investment.
Still, there’s reason to be concerned that governments’ appetite for borrowing could ultimately push up interest rates, or worse.
For one, government borrowers are tapping into smaller international capital flows. The total amount of foreign portfolio investment sloshing in across advanced countries’ borders averaged about 3.8% of global GDP in the twelve months ended June, compared to an average 9.5% in the eight years leading up to the recession.
Beyond that, the U.S. and other advanced nations are putting pressure on China to allow its currency to appreciate against the dollar. All else equal, such a move would curb demand for dollar-denominated debt from a country that is the largest foreign holder of U.S. Treasurys.http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2010/11/06/number-of-the-week-102-trillion-in-global-borrowing/

Mother gives birth in airport toilet, strangles the baby, dumps its corpse in a bin... then catches flight out

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 2:47 PM on 28th December 2010
airport toilet before strangling the newborn baby and dumping its tiny corpse in a rubbish bin.
The mother - believed to be Ethiopian and in her thirties - caught a flight before the infant's body was discovered by a cleaner at Dubai International Airport.
She was identified using security camera footage and is being hunted by police.
The woman allegedly severed the baby boy's umbilical cord with her bare hands and strangled him with a cloth before dumping him.

The newborn baby was discovered still alive in a rubbish bin in a women's toilet at Dubai International Airport

The infant was discovered when a woman passenger informed one of the airport's cleaners about a pool of blood in the bathroom.
Traces of blood led to the bin where the baby was found, soaked in blood, tied up with his umbilical cord in a tightly wrapped plastic bag.
The boy was still gasping for breath but a rescue team and volunteers could not revive him.
'At around 3.35am I went to the toilet to clean up the blood around a toilet bowl,' the cleaner told the Khaleej Times newspaper.
'After that I decided to empty the waste bin which was covered with paper rolls.
'When I lifted it I found it to be a little heavier, so I got curious and started removing the tissue papers.
'I was stunned to see a baby all blue on the face and gasping for breath.'
It is unclear whether the woman was a UAE resident, tourist or passenger in transit.
A security source said it appeared the woman had strangled the infant, whose body was undergoing further tests.
'Most likely the woman wanted to get rid of the baby as it was a child outside wedlock,' said the source. 'It seems that the woman had intended to leave the UAE before the delivery but was faced with a different reality in the airport.'
Having a sexual relationship or a child outside wedlock are criminal offences in the UAE that carry sentences of up to three years in prison.
Many unmarried women who become pregnant choose either to leave the country or abandon the youngster.
A total of 17 children were abandoned in the first eight months of 2008, according to the most recent statistics available from Dubai's Ministry of Social Affairs.
It is not known how many newborns are killed or die after being abandoned.

Zionists puppet-muppet Lenihan. Has the Rothchilds laughing all the way to the "Bank"

Allied Irish Bank has effectively been nationalised after the Government got the green light to pump in another 3.7 billion euro of taxpayers' money. 

Allied Irish Bank 'nationalised' Enlarge photo

The High Court signed off on the massive cash boost lined up by Finance Minister Brian Lenihan under tough new banking laws imposed this week.

The money means the State has a 49% stake in AIB - once Ireland's biggest bank - which will soar to 92% when lucrative divisions of the finance group are finally sold off next year.
Mr Lenihan said the billions of taxpayers' money was essential for AIB to fulfil its role in the economy.
"The order allows the Minister to provide capital so as to ensure AIB meets its year-end capital requirement as set by the Central Bank," he said. "This capital is essential to allow AIB to fulfil its role in supporting the Irish economy."
Mr Lenihan set out the possibility of having to pay the billions last March and the move was prompted after the bank suffered further losses as property based loans were transferred to Ireland's bad-bank, the National Asset Management Agency (Nama)

Net Tightens On Anglo Irish Bank Crime Bosses. DRM Ireland.

Net tightens on Anglo suspects with DPP files.

By Paul O’Brien, Ann Cahill and Cormac O’Keeffe

Friday, December 17, 2010

THE possibility of bankers being jailed for their role in the Anglo scandals will move a step closer today with two major files being sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Justice Minister Dermot Ahern has confirmed the files will be sent following a marathon two-year investigation and said gardaí were confident prosecutions would arise.

The first file involves the "circular transfers" in 2008 in which Anglo sought over €7 billion of temporary deposits from Irish Life & Permanent to cover up the lender’s crippled balance sheet.

Mr Ahern said this investigation involved four main suspects with prosecutions likely to be sought on the grounds of market manipulation and deception. The file runs to 42 volumes and hundreds of pages, he said.

The second file relates to a secret deal between Anglo and 10 wealthy investors aimed at propping up the bank’s share price.

The deal saw Anglo lend €450 million to the so-called "Maple 10" to buy some of businessman Sean Quinn’s stock in the bank because of concerns over the destabilising size of his holding.

The minister said investigations were continuing into a number of other "relatively small" suspected offences, and that further submissions would be made to the DPP in the new year.

Upon receipt of the files, it will be solely for the DPP to decide whether to prosecute. That process is likely to take a couple of months at least. But Garda sources expressed confidence that prosecutions would arise, saying there had been extensive liaison with the DPP’s office before submitting the files.

Mr Ahern said this meant the DPP’s office would "have a fair idea already" of the information in the files, and he said he hoped this would "facilitate a relatively quick turnaround".

He also stressed the problem with staff not handing over encrypted passwords had been solved and gardaí were able to get all the information required.

More than 40 gardaí, backed by staff of the ODCE (Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement) have been working on the near two-year investigation.

They have sifted through 115,000 emails, taken 400 statements, including 72 classed as major, some of which run to 150 pages.

Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny, who was briefed about the files, said the public wanted to see "the law of the land applied to those who are outside that law".

Earlier this year, as part of the investigation, former Anglo chief executive Sean FitzPatrick and group finance director Willie McAteer were arrested and questioned but released without charge.

Three Eastern European Immigrants And A Wexford "man" Savagely Murder Young Mother.

Four men jailed in relation to mother-of-two’s death

By Natasha Reid

Saturday, December 11, 2010

FOUR men have been given the maximum sentence of 10 years for disposing of and attempting to destroy the body of a mother-of-two beaten to death in Wexford last year.

  Three of them had part of their sentences suspended provided they return to their native Lithuania and Poland when released from jail. The fourth man, who is Irish, also had part of his sentence suspended at the Central Criminal Court.
Rebecca French was found dead in the boot of her burning car on October 9, 2009, on the outskirts of Wexford town. The state believes the 30-year-old was beaten to death beforehand in the house of one of the defendants at Ard Na Dara, Clonard.

Mr Justice Barry White said one or more of the four men were responsible for "brutally and savagely" killing her but enjoyed a presumption of innocence for this. All four had pleaded guilty to impeding the investigation and he said the maximum sentence he could impose was not half long enough.

The Lithuanian defendants, Ricardas Dilys, aged 28, and Ruslanas Mineikas, aged 26, of Goodtide Harbour and formerly of Davitt Road South, both in Wexford town, were last month on trial for her murder, pleading not guilty.

The murder charges were dropped when a legal technicality meant their admissions in garda custody could not be used against them and they pleaded guilty to the lesser crime. Gardaí then said they would not be looking for anyone else in connection with what they believed was a murder.

The other men, Patrick O’Connor, aged 41, of Ard Na Dara, Clonard, Wexford and 27-year-old Polish man Piotr Pasiak of Lower John Street, Wexford had already pleaded guilty to impeding the investigation and were never on trial for murder.

It emerged yesterday that two of the men had offered pleas to manslaughter during their Garda interviews, but these were not accepted by the DPP.

Healy-Rae daughter gets plum state job. Yet MORE Blatant Corruption From Our Criminal Coalition Government.

Healy-Rae daughter gets plum state job

By Mary Regan Political Reporter

Wednesday, December 15, 2010

THE daughter of Independent TD Jackie Healy-Rae was given a lucrative position on a state board just weeks before her father agreed to support the Government in the budget vote.

Barrister Rosemary Healy-Rae was reappointed to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal for the next three years where she will get paid €272 for each meeting she attends and up to €361 for each case on which she gives her legal expertise.

The seven-member panel of experts was appointed by Justice Minister Dermot Ahern on November 11 to the tribunal which typically analyses more than 200 cases of compensation claims per year. The Government-appointed chairwoman of the tribunal is Sinead Behan, who is a failed Fianna Fáil election candidate.

Ms Behan, who will be paid an annual fee of more than €2,000 as well as fees to attend meetings and for each case examined, was unsuccessful in the Cork South Central by-election for Fianna Fáil in 1998.

She has worked for the legal practice of Martin Harvey, who had contracts worth €30,000 a year for the storage of electronic voting machines, and who is Cork city sheriff.

Another Cork solicitor, Eamon Murray, was also appointed to the board. His practice is recorded by the Standards in Public Office Commission as having made €900 donations to Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheál Martin in 2007 election year. Ms Healy-Rae said last night that she was originally appointed to the board in 2007, and on neither occasion had it anything to do with her father’s support for the Government.

A spokesperson for the chief whip’s office said the Government does not discuss the contents of agreements with independent TDs and that this appointment was a matter for the Department of Justice.

The department said such appointments are a matter for the minister and it does not explain the rationale behind them. Around 40 appointments to state boards have been made by Fianna Fáil and Green Party ministers in the past month.

Fine Gael’s Leo Varadkar has called for a moratorium on such appointments until after the general election to prevent ministers using "their last few weeks in office to stuff state boards and other bodies with political party supporters and other cronies".

Last week, solicitor Paul Kelly, who served as a Fianna Fáil councillor in Kildare for 11 years, was nominated as a district court judge. Weeks earlier, the well known Fianna Fáil supporter and former GAA star Paídí Ó Sé was appointed to the board of Bord Iascaigh Mhara, earning an annual fee of €7,695.

Leading figure in Kosovo's organised crime living here

CONOR LALLY Crime Correspondent

A MAN known as “the boss of bosses” in Kosovo’s organised crime is living in Ireland.

Enver Sekiraqa (37) has been living in the southeast but has not been extradited because there is no extradition agreement between the Republic and Kosovo, and the European arrest warrant mechanism does not cover Kosovo.

However, a request from the authorities in Kosovo to assist in returning him for trial there has been received by the Irish authorities.

Senior officials from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Department of Justice have been in talks with the Attorney General’s office in an effort to devise some legal mechanism to return him to Kosovo for trial.

Mr Sekiraqa has appeared on Interpol’s wanted listed and is the alleged head of an ethnic Albanian crime gang. He has allegedly been involved in organised crime for a number of years.

He is wanted for questioning in Kosovo in relation to those activities, including involvement in the sex trade, and for questioning about the murder of a police officer. Garda sources have told The Irish Times they are aware of Mr Sekiraqa’s presence in the Republic and are aware he is wanted in Kosovo.

It is unclear when the 37-year-old moved here but it is understood he has been living for some time in the Wexford and Waterford areas.

Born in Pristina in November 1973, he formerly had Yugoslavian nationality but is now Serbian. He speaks Albanian and Serbian.

His entry on Interpol’s most wanted list says an arrest warrant was issued for him by the UN Mission in Kosovo, which was established to govern Kosovo after the wars in the Balkans. Interpol also says he is wanted for questioning about “crimes against life and health, organised crime, transnational crime, sex crimes, thefts”. http://m.irishtimes.com/newspaper/frontpage/2010/1126/1224284184027.html?via=frontpage

Anglo Irish Bank owned by Rothschild being “bailed out” by the IMF – owned by Rothschild

See the “HISTORY” below of Anglo given at the end. Then follow the links from our google search and you will see that since 1995 Anglo have “acquired” company after company all of which ARE OWNED BY ROTHSCHILD.
EXTRACT:
” • 1995 – Anglo Irish acquired Royal Trust Bank (Austria), a bank with a 100 year history, from Royal Bank of Canada and renamed it Anglo Irish Bank (Austria). Anglo Irish also acquired a loan portfolio from Allied Dunbar.
• 1996 – Anglo Irish acquired Ansbacher Bankers, which was established in Dublin in 1950.
• 1998 – Anglo Irish acquired Crédit Lyonnais (Austria) and combined it with its existing Austrian operations.
• 1999 – Anglo Irish acquired Smurfit Paribas Bank, a joint-venture that Banque Paribas had helped establish in Dublin in 1983. Anglo – Irish also bought a loan portfolio from Bayerische Hypo- und Vereinsbank.
• 2001 – Anglo Irish acquired Banque Marcuard Cook & Cie. in Geneva, Switzerland, and renamed it Anglo Irish Bank (Suisse).”
Companies in bold all have close connections with, if not directly owned by Rothschild.
Now we are told “because of the losses of Anglo (owned by Rothschild) we have to be bailed out and lose our sovereignty to the IMF – WHICH IS OWNED BY ROTHSCHILD.
Google pages showing connections between companies acquired by Anglo and their ownership by Rothschild are following.
Please see the implications of what this means and get the message out asap and take care.

Not to be confused with Allied Irish Banks.

Anglo Irish Bank Corporation
Type	State-owned
Founded	Dublin, Ireland (1964)
Headquarters	Dublin, Ireland
Products	Various banking products
Employees	1500 (2006)
Website	www.angloirishbank.ie

Anglo Irish Bank Corporation (Irish: Banc Angla-Éireannach) is a state-owned bank based in Ireland with its headquarters in Dublin. The company mainly deals in business and commercial banking, with the result that it has only a limited retail presence in the major Irish cities. It also has wealth management and treasury divisions. Anglo-Irish has operations in Austria, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Isle of Man.
Anglo Irish Bank’s heavy exposure to property lending, with most of its loan book being to builders and property developers, meant that it was badly affected by the downturn in the Irish property market in 2008.^[1] In December 2008, the Irish government announced plans to inject €1.5bn of capital for a 75% stake in the bank, effectively nationalising it.^[2][3] The Dublin and London Stock Exchanges immediately suspended trading in Anglo Irish’s shares, with the final closing share price of €0.22 representing a fall of over 98% from its peak.^[4][5][6]
On 16 January 2009, the Taoiseach Brian Cowen stated that is was “business as usual” at Anglo Irish Bank and that people should be reassured that the bank is solvent.^[7] Between June and September 2009, the Minister for Finance provided €4 billion in capital. In a statement on 30 March 2010, a day before Anglo Irish Bank reported its financial results, the Minister Of Finance, Brian Lenihan announced an injection of €8.3 billion into the bank, noting that a further €10 billion may be required at a later stage to cover future losses and ensure an adequate capital base.
Since the nationalization of Anglo Irish Bank a number of controversies have arisen over certain business practises & loans, including loans to directors, and loans to people associated with Brendan Murtagh, EMPG and the QUINN group.
On 31 March 2010, Anglo Irish Bank reported results for the 15 months to December 2009. Loss for the period were €12.7 billion, with an operating profit before impairment of €2.4 billion and an impairment charges of €15.1 billion driving the overall result. It is the largest loss in Irish corporate history.^[8] Total assets declined to €85.2 billion at the end of 2009 from €101.3 billion in September 2008.
The European Commission allowed the Irish Government on 10 August to temporarily grant €10 billion to Anglo Irish Bank – this included an additional €1.4 billion sought by Ireland recently to allow the nationalised bank meet its regulatory capital requirements in light of increased costs associated with transferring loans to the National Asset Management Agency.^{[9][10]

Jihad Against The Local Boozer Goes Bad. DRM Ireland.

Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, Oh How Your Jack-Boots Glow. Democratic Righ...

“Please try and comprehend: Jobbik is successful because its message is one of hope,” an open letter to the editor of The Guardian.

http://www.jobbik.com/europe/3160.html Alan Rusbridger

As members of Jobbik, a Christian conservative nationalist party, we are more than used to having our party’s reputation libelled with the most ridiculous nonsense imaginable, in the international press.

The Western European papers in particular, like yours Mr. Rusbridger, seem so obsessed with defending the liberalism that they see falling apart in their own countries, that they will seemingly resort to every possible concocted piece of plain rubbish, in order to scare their dwindling readership into believing a reality that the most cursory acquaintance with the facts can dismiss, as so much hogwash.

Chief amongst such notions is the idea that any European nationalist movement must by definition be pseudo-Fascist. And furthermore that Central and Eastern European nations, the most severe European victims of globalisation, cannot ever be capable of expressing any form of positive nationalism whatsoever.

The Jobbik greeting of “May God grant…” and “…a Brighter Future!” Tells you in a nutshell what the Jobbik party is about and why it continue to grow so consistently. Please try and comprehend: Jobbik is successful because its message is one of hope, not hatred.

But of course papers like yours can never permit that truth to get in the way of a “good” story. Any description of a Hungarian nationalist movement must be made to follow a prescribed script, one that considers fatuous comparison with the 1920s and 1930s, to be more valid than causation from the 1990s and 2000s; and the facts be damned.

As defenders of free speech it is not our place to tell you what to fill your newspaper with. Still, might we, as simple Hungarians concerned with the truth, pose a few questions to you about your paper’s piece, ‘Hungary party to follow European extremism's move away from fringes,’ published today?

In writing an article that purports to be about the imminent Hungarian elections, your reporter Ian Traynor, omitted to mention that of the three parties predicted to enter parliament for certain: Jobbik, Fidesz and the MSZP: it is only Jobbik that has not been engaged in massive, systematic and deliberate violations of Hungarian electoral law. Which is now leading to the criminal prosecution of figures in these other parties by our National Electoral Commission (OVB).

Would you clasify this as “good reporting”?

In presenting a piece supposedly about Jobbik, that would tar it with the disgusting label “neofascist,” your paper curiously chose not to mention the major constitutional changes that a Jobbik government would seek to bring about i.e. reducing the number of MPs, creating a second chamber, removing MP immunity and making our politicians impeachable, abolishing compensation packages for departing politicians and introducing compulsory asset audits, establishing a Corruption Comission any Hungarian can report to, and so on.

Clearly, the common feature running through all of these measures, is that they deliberately seek to give more power to the citizen, by giving less to Hungary's centralised political elite. In other words, your paper somehow forgot to mention that Jobbik is, by definition, the direct opposite of Fascist.

Wouldn't you call such a deliberate omission, simply, staggering?

Mr. Traynor chose to quote a statement by our chairman Gábor Vona, made here in the article ‘What do we mean by radicalism?’, namely, that in certain parts of Hungary the Gypsy issue is practically comparable to “civil war.” But why did he not feel obliged to tell your readers that this exact phrase was first uttered by Florián Farkas, chair of the Gypsy organisation Lungo Drom, in February of 2009?

Why is it, when describing the co-existence of Magyar and Roma in Hungary, papers like yours never mention the lynching of the Magyar school teacher Lajos Szögi, or that the brutal beating to death of women in their dotage for little more than the change in their pockets (such as 92 year old Mrs. Miklós Solymosi, pictured, who would later succumb to her injuries), is now practically a weekly occurrence in our land?

Or that the Hungarian National Audit Office said clearly in 2008 that the calamitous state of Gypsy integration in Hungary is a direct consequence of a total failure of political policy in this area for over two decades?

And that all the measures that Jobbik would uniquely implement to tackle this issue (easily verifiable by anyone, in the English copy of our manifesto), in terms of Education, Social Security and Law Enforcement reform, are by definition – colour-blind – and would apply equally to ALL Hungarian citizens; and that consequently calling Jobbik “Racist” is quite utterly preposterous?

Why would any newspaper consider all these facts to be so totally superfluous?

Instead, your paper chooses to take statements by Gábor Vona, such as, “We must produce an environment in which Gypsy people can return to a world of work, laws and education,” again from the same jobbik.com article. And then deliberately commits infantile misrepresentation, consistently using the lower case, “gypsy,” in your own quotation of him. Fully knowing that the Jobbik leader was taking care to respectfully use, in English, the term by which the Roma of Hungary refer to themselves. Your paper in fact, engages in the kind of childish manipulations more usually seen within the pages of a school magazine, in order to give the false impression that he was being dismissive.

Indeed you go on to commit virtual hate speech against Hungarian heritage itself. By calling an 800 year old symbol of Hungarian identity: the shield of the House of Árpád; used by both Jobbik and the Hungarian Guard, and identical to that which is ubiquitous to this day everywhere from the left of the Hungarian Coat of Arms, to the emblem of our equivalent of M.I.5 (the Nemzetbiztonsági Hivatal, both pictured); a piece of “1940s fascist paraphernalia.”

Do you think any Hungarian newspaper would be so scurrilous as to permit their historical ignorance to defame the Lion and the Unicorn in such a repellent manner?

And it just goes on. The Hungarian Guard, are absurdly described as “paramilitaries.” The only problem being that they are armed with nothing more fear-inducing than handkerchiefs. In the most blasé way imaginable you have the temerity to describe us, and the hundreds upon hundreds of thousands who have voted for our party, as "extremists" and "antisemitic."  While scrupulously avoiding the citation of any Jobbik politician, making any attributable statement of this kind whatsoever; or any part of our manifesto which remotely says anything like this at all: for the rather straightforward reason that they simply do not exist.

And if they did, which they do not, you would quote them: which is precisely why you don't!

You choose instead to quote the kind of "political scientists" too keen for publicity to allow themselves to sabotage with reality, the statements you want them to make, such as the ludicrous suggestion that Jobbik stirs up hatred against "national minorities." Wouldn't this have been an optimum moment Mr. Rusbridger, for your reporter to state that the leader of Hungary's Slovak minority, Imrich Fuhl, declared on the 12th of March of this year, that Jobbik had the best program for minorities of any party in the country?

All of these facts being easily verifiable to anyone with a few clicks of a mouse.

Whose intelligence do you think you have insulted more, that of Hungarian readers, or your own?

No doubt such absurd excuses for journalism will only continue internationally following Jobbik’s success at the polls this weekend. Our repeated insistence that such nonsense acts as the best possible recruiting tool for our party, because it is so at odds with the reality Hungarians perceive that they end up motivated to find out more, is it seems fated to continue to fall on deaf ears.

But we would nevertheless still ask you, and your colleagues in the Western press, to consider an alternative to consistently slandering the increasing proportion of our nation that are guilty of wanting nothing more than “A Brighter Future” for their country and their children. 

All you need do, is instead of instructing your journalists what to write before they have even left your offices, simply tell them to use one of the most important reasons for Jobbik’s growth: just going out into Hungary’s heartlands, and honestly and unflinchingly describing what you find.

Vilmos Pusztai
Spokesman - Jobbik Friends of Hungary (UK)

VONA: What do we mean by radicalism? Jobbik Hungary.

Solutions not excuses

At a conference not too long ago I said that today Hungary only has one programme, and that it is Jobbik’s. I also added, that it didn’t matter who ended up forming a government in 2010, if it wasn’t us, whoever did would only be presented with two choices: either implementing Jobbik’s programme, or letting us do so.

My declaration was met with outrage by many in the gathered rows of our opponents that I addressed, indeed others grinned in disbelief. They in fact reacted in exactly the same way as many did, to my thought expressed some time ago, to the effect that two-thirds of the Hungarian people are Jobbik supporters, they just don’t know it yet. At the time many thought this laughable too, though today it is increasingly considered less of a humorous notion. Moreover I did not consider myself to be making a joke. Both then and now I meant these things in all seriousness. Radically.

But what does it mean when I use this word: radical? Does it mean that I was born into this world with clenched fists and foaming at the mouth? Or does it perhaps mean that at nursery school my favourite plaything was a model of a Molotov cocktail? Or does it in fact mean providing a real and truthful answer to a radically bad state of affairs?

Radicalism isn’t an ideology, neither is it a conception, it’s a perspective. If a person is struck by a car, and suffers serious injuries as a result, and two doctors arrive on the scene, one of whom slaps the injured fellow square in the face, while the other says, “Here, have a paracetamol;” the injured party would surely tell both of them to get lost. Hungary over the last decades hasn’t merely been struck by a solitary automobile, it has been positively mown down by dozens of freight trains: and yet this is precisely what has been done. The Left just keeps slapping and kicking the patient regardless, while the Right just keeps stupefying them with all sorts of well-meaning sanctimony.

Let’s be straight about it for once: they have deliberately and completely destroyed the country.

What we need here in the place of yet more slaps or painkillers is a radical – to continue the above analogy: a surgical – form of intervention. And in reality only Jobbik has the programme for such a solution. Such seriously deep matters require reform, that the current parliamentary parties – both of the Right and Left – have neither the nerve, the willingness or the nations’ consent to address. They have amply proved themselves incapable of delivering anything other than yet further slaps or paracetamol pills.

No one other than us dares to propose the renegotiation of the national debt, which has for decades stifled the life from the country’s economy. Nobody else suggests that the operations of the Hungarian National Bank be transformed to serve the nation’s needs. And who else would possibly have the nerve to meddle in the question of the taxation of multi-nationals? Certainly not political parties whose electoral coffers these self-same multi-nationals keep regularly topped up, with their requisite thirty pieces of silver... And certainly no one is rushing to address what will be the largest scandal of the coming years, the perilous state of private pension funds. Let alone possessed of the courage to suggest the imminent victims should be bought back under the coverage of state pension schemes.

That the forthcoming transfer of Hungarian land into foreign hands neither bothers nor astonishes a single soul sitting in Parliament, doesn’t even surprise me anymore. Yet a simple, majority passed, amendment to the Landownership Act could easily mark the beginning of bringing this national tragedy to an end. No doubt this task will await us also. Along with the abolition of the immunity from prosecution law, the ending of the parliamentary practise of holding multiple state posts, and the creation of a new law of impeachment. Of course we support the proposed halving of the number of MPs, but such a move hardly addresses the real issue, if 386 scoundrels are merely replaced by 200...

In terms of answers to the Gypsy issue no one else has the faintest clue or suggestion. The Sajóbábony affair has proven, that the situation in certain parts of the country is akin to civil war. In response the Socialist side refuses to recognize this fact, while the Bourgeois side simply pouts. And yet now only drastic interventions are capable of helping. Compulsory community work, family welfare funding that incorporates benefits’ cards and tax rebates – so that legitimate job seekers are supported, and not those who merely produce children to subsist economically. The legal recognition of the role of the Hungarian Guard, and clearly, a Gendarmerie.

We must produce an environment in which Gypsy people can return to a world of work, laws and education. And for those unwilling to do so, two alternatives remain:  they can either choose to take advantage of the right of free movement granted by the European Union, and leave the country, because we will simply no longer put up with lifestyles dedicated to freeloading or criminality; or, there is always prison. Which in turn will be a very different place from the health spa environment enjoyed today, starting with the fact that inmates will be required to fund the cost of their upkeep through their own labour.

And truly who else but we would avow a constitution based on the doctrine of the Holy Crown?† The Left remains attached to its Stalinist “hodgepodge” for understandable reasons, while the Right thinks its paracetamol cure-all will work here too. To say nothing about the state confidential archive, a matter in which of course all those other parties have something to hide. Indeed can anyone possibly see the determination, the courage or the required probity necessary to bring political criminality to an end, to call a halt to privatization, indeed to re-privatize; in any of the current parliamentary parties?

Let us not even talk further about a patriotic perspective on the politics of education, culture and the media, because the attitude to these issues on both sides is appalling. Who will have the nerve to suspend the franchises of the big commercial television stations, to send back to Bologna the educational system that bears its name, or to declare June 4th a day of countrywide remembrance? And who will build a real Hungarian national defence? Who will defend Hungary’s railways, and its bus companies in the face of the multi-national motorway lobby? And who knows how many things I have left out, about whose solution only Jobbik has the necessary integrity, preparedness and resolve.

And so I’ll say it once again, so it’s clear to everyone, quietly, with no trace of doubt, and as a plain statement of fact: either the next government implement’s Jobbik’s programme, or it lets us, the better choice, do so. Anything else would simply be worse...

Egyptian Copts Appeal to BNP MEP for Help After Renewed Attacks by Islamists

Wed, 08/12/2010 - 19:45 |  BNP News

A representative of the Coptic Egyptian community in Britain has appealed to British National Party MEP Nick Griffin to highlight the violent anti-Christian attacks in Egypt by Islamist-supporting police in Egypt, instances of which are routinely covered up by the politically-correct controlled mass media.

In a statement released by Mr Griffin’s office, he announced that he would most certainly raise the latest attack at the earliest opportunity in Parliament, coming as it does hard on the heels of similar attacks by Muslims on Christian churches on the island of Cyprus.

The appeal for Mr Griffin’s assistance in publicising the latest attack in Egypt was sent by a well-known representative of the Coptic Christian community, who said that he was “writing on behalf of some of the Egyptian Copts who live in Great Britain. We are very concerned for the life and safety of our Christian brothers who live in fear under constant persecution from the State of Egypt.

“In the small hours of Wednesday morning 24th November 2010, the Egyptian Police opened fire on Christian worshippers who were staying overnight in a new building that they had built to use for services and prayers,” the letter continued.

“One person was killed instantly and two others died two days later in hospital. Over 64 people were injured, some seriously, and 165 people were detained by Police.

“The incident happened in Al-Omraneya near Cairo where there is a high concentration of Christian population. For the last 10 years the Christian residents there have been trying to obtain a license to build a church, but without success.

“To get around the obstacle of building a church, they obtained permission to build a four-storey building with the intention of using part of it to gather for prayers.

“The council’s Health and Safety department advised them to add to the original plan an escape stairwell, which they did.

“The building was almost complete when an inspection by another department from the council found the new stairwell added to the original plan which they said was in breach of the original license.

“A meeting was conducted with the Governor who, in an act of deception, advised the Christians that he was happy with the current building and would approve it,” the appeal said.

“It was the night of that same day in which the Christians found that the building was surrounded by thousands of policemen and saw demolition equipment on standby near the building.

“Seeing that months of their hard work was about to be demolished, they gathered inside the building to stop the demolition. The Police fired at them tear gas, plastic bullets and live ammunition.

“The Christians trapped inside the building and surrounded by thousands of policemen responded to the bullets by throwing bricks and stones at the Police. The Police closed in on the building shouting Allah Akbar! (Allah is Great), kill the infidels.

“They attacked the people with such savage brutality that many of them will live with disabilities for the rest of their lives. They ransacked the building, looting the donation box and altar vessels, threw the Holy Bible on the ground and stamped on it, and burned the icons.

“The police acted in exactly the same way that Muslim terrorists act,” the letter continued.

“The following morning the state-run media gave a completely different version of events. They accused the Christians of rioting and attacking the police. This wrong version of events spread to the international media.

“The Attorney General of Egypt announced that the Christians who defended themselves will face the full force of the Law. Nothing, however, was done to the police who were seen on video firing live ammunition, killing and injuring many people.

“A few days prior to these events, Muslim mobs had torched and burned to the ground over twenty Christian houses, also killing their farm animals, in the village of Nawahed at Qena province, in southern Egypt.

“The Christians gave the police the names of the perpetrators. However, the police decided that no one was responsible and that the fires, which affected only Christian houses, were merely an accident.

“These recent incidents and countless others, for which no one has been held responsible, prove the long held suspicion that many of the attacks on Christians are masterminded by the security forces in an attempt to drive the Christians to leave their homeland and live in foreign countries.

“In a way it is a slow, covert process of ethnic cleansing.

“Once again the incident of Al Omranya highlights the plight of the Coptic Christians in their own country. Despite the fact that the Copts are the indigenous people of Egypt, they are discriminated against, persecuted and killed by the Muslim majority, in collaboration with the police and with the blessing of the Egyptian government.

“Despite the fact that sectarian violence in Egypt is increasing with alarming severity, the British Government remains silent on the issue.

“We, the Christians of Egypt, are in need of help from every person and every country who cares for the values of freedom and human rights. http://www.bnp.org.uk/news/egyptian-copts-appeal-bnp-mep-help-after-renewed-attacks-islamists

Taoiseach's wage of 228,466 euro will be cut by up to 14,000 euro. OMG Thats Terrible Taoiseach How On Earth Will You Manage????????

The Government is scaling back on the trappings of power in the wake of public anger over the luxury of state service. 

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20101207/tuk-pay-and-perks-cut-for-ministers-e1cd776.html

Ministers' pay will be slashed by more than 10,000 euro and the Taoiseach's wage of 228,466 euro will be cut by up to 14,000 euro.

And their comfort in transport has been hit with former office holders, including taoisigh and presidents and "other users", now forced to share cars under a new pooled transport system.
Finance Minister Brian Lenihan said Cabinet members had already taken a hit in their pay.
"Nonetheless the Government has decided to introduce another reduction in the salaries of the Taoiseach, Tanaiste and Ministers," Mr Lenihan told the Dail.
The style of state cars may also be scaled back, with the Budget stating that slashing engine size to two litres or less would save money as the ministerial fleet is replaced.
The number of Garda drivers taken off frontline duty to drive politicians is also being reduced.
The Government faced a backlash from the public after ministers were seen driving into a Budget Cabinet meeting at the lush Farmleigh estate in separate sleek cars.
The Government Gulfstream jet, one of two aeroplanes used for state business, is nearing the end of its life and will not be replaced, the Budget stated.

Murder by Leftism

by Nikos Hidiroglou

Leftist rioters in front of the burning Marfin Bank branch office.

In early May, four people lost their lives when rioters set fire to a bank in downtown Athens, then prevented rescue workers from reaching the facility. Those deaths serve as a warning by leftists and anarchists that anyone who dares to work during a declared strike will lose his life. At the time of this writing, the killers are still at large, perhaps an indication of the unwillingness of the socialist government to arrest and prosecute them.

Of course, their arrest would tarnish the Left’s image and uncover the unholy alliance between the government and the parliamentary and extra-parliamentary Left in liberalizing social relations. If among the killers there were immigrants, as witnesses and police suggest, there would be an uproar against the new naturalization law. As the November municipal elections are approaching, the government’s political dilemmas continue to grow.

On May 5, during a mass antigovernment demonstration, anarchists and left-wing activists noticed that people were working at Marfin Bank, which was in their path. They broke the glass of the branch office with sledgehammers and threw flammable liquids and Molotov cocktails inside. Then they cheered as the bank employees were burned alive. One of the victims was a young woman who was four months pregnant.

The cause of the demonstration was the new “austerity measures” imposed on Greece by the troika (the European Commission, the International Monetary Fund, and the European Central Bank), in response to skyrocketing debt. Greece’s debt is now undermining all capital markets around the world, threatening a domino effect on the economies of the West. Though the French and the Germans initially disagreed, the European Union ultimately decided that a rescue package of €110 billion (roughly $140 billion) will be granted by the troika over a three-year period in order to save the country from bankruptcy.

Social-democratic policies have ruined Greece. Now, a socialist government in Athens is, under the guidance of the U.S.-born president of the Socialist International, George Papandreou (an advocate of global governance), applying neoliberal policies to prevent bankruptcy.

PASOK, the ruling socialist party of Greece, has always been a vehicle used by local financial interests to pass their “reactionary” (to use a progressive term) agenda. Now PASOK is being used by the IMF (and Goldman Sachs) to subjugate the Greek economy. And Greece is not the only target. As the weak link in the eurozone, Greece has become the launching pad for an attack of the international hedge funds on the euro.

At present, Portugal, Spain, and Italy look particularly vulnerable, with their governments trying to ward off speculators. That will prove a rather difficult task. Dogmatic devotion to the free flow of capital and distaste for government intervention have drastically weakened the national defenses of the E.U. states. A crisis in one state immediately affects the rest.

Whenever Greece has a critical political battle to fight, violence and terrorism take the field. Anarchists and left-wing extremists, taking advantage of university asylum, turn demonstrations into skirmishes with riot police, then hide on university campuses. With the silent approval of the left-leaning intelligentsia, these people engage in military-style operations, attacking the police and burning stores, government facilities, and cars. Of course, they claim they are attacking the “ruling class”, but it is obvious that their actions are a benefit to the government, disorienting citizens, who might otherwise be outraged at its socialist policies.

The murder of those four people, and the terrorist attacks that followed, are the strongest indications that Greece is heading toward catastrophe. Such a catastrophe can still be prevented, if the citizens are willing to blast the socialist government at the municipal polls in November.
