THE DECLINE OF FREE SPEECH IN THE WEST

I took the following article from Breitbart.com.   Hugh Murray

UK COPS ARREST MAN FOR QUOTING WINSTON CHURCHILL

by NICK HALLETT

The leader of an anti-immigration pressure group has been arrested for quoting Winston Churchill. Paul Weston, chairman of LibertyGB, was taken into custody in Winchester, southern England, after delivering a speech in which he quoted an excerpt from the wartime Prime Minister's book The River War.

Addressing a gathering of people from the steps of Winchester Guildhall, Weston quoted the passage:

"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith."

A woman came of the Guildhall and asked Weston if he had authorisation to make the speech. He replied that he did not, at which point she called him "disgusting" and called the police. At least six police officers arrived, questioned by-standers and arrested Weston and took him away. Britain's ITV News is now reporting the story.

LibertyGB claims that Weston spent several hours at Winchester Police Station, after which the original charge of breaching a Section 27 Dispersal Notice was dropped. Weston was "re-arrested" for a Racially Aggravated Crime, under Section 4 of the Public Order Act, which carries a potential prison sentence of 2 years.

He was fingerprinted and obliged to submit to DNA sampling, following which he was bailed with a return date to Winchester Police on May 24th.

LibertyGB was set up in 2013 by disaffected supporters of the British National Party. It is one of several groups that were founded as the BNP disintegrated, and is standing candidates in forthcoming European Elections.

The River War, written in 1899, recounts Churchill's experiences as a British Army Officer in the Anglo-Sudan War of 1881-1899. Churchill is still regarded in high esteem by most of the British public, with a 2002 BBC poll voting him the greatest Briton of all time.

Earlier this month, Breitbart London reported on a demonstration by Islamist extremists at London's Regent's Park Mosque where no one was arrested, despite protesters shouting hateful and extremist slogans. Despite a female BBC journalist being "man handled" by Islamist demonstrators who "pushed and shoved her" while "trying to knock the camera out of her hand", the police did not intervene.

MILWAUKEE SHERIFF AT NATIONAL RIFLE ASSN.

I copied this from the Glenn Beck site, The Blaze.  Many of my posts are critical to the Democratic Party, but Sheriff David Clarke is one Democrat whom I vote for.  When the liberal white Democratic Mayor, Barrett, urged anti-gun legislation in Milwaukee, Barrett was seconded by the appointed politically correct Police Chief, Flynn, also white.  They just had a gun-buy-back in Milwaukee a few days ago with Barrett and Flynn leading the effort to rid Milwaukee of guns (not crime, just guns).  About a year ago when the white liberal Democrats were indulged in another anti-gun campaign, Democratic Sheriff produced ads for radio warning,  that if you are in trouble, calling 911 might not suffice.  The police might not get their in time to save you.  You should rely on your own weapon.  Naturally, such a sensible ad incensed the politically correct liberal Democrats.---Hugh Murray

Wisconsin Sheriff Reveals the Seven Words He Would Use to Change the Second Amendment

INDIANAPOLIS — Sheriff David Clarke Jr. may not be a household name…yet. But he’s well on his way after his rousing speech at the 2014 NRA convention. Consider the standing ovation he received after revealing the seven words he would add to the Second Amendment: “Keep your hands off our guns, dammit.”

  ( Unfortunately, I was unable to copy the photo of the Sheriff.  Clarke is an elected Democrat and he is Black.---HM)

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke (Source: TheBlaze)

Clarke, the outspoken gun proponent who heads the sheriff’s office in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, was easily one of the most popular speakers during the convention’s leadership forum. His comments about amending the Constitution were aimed at former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, who said in his recent book that he would change the Second Amendment by adding five words in the middle: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms when serving in the militia shall not be infringed.”

“My reaction was, ‘What!’” Clarke said, adding, ”Just what part of ‘shall not be infringed’ does Justice Stevens not understand?”

That comment drew another standing ovation.

But he wasn’t done there, going on to say he was sick of the Second Amendment being the ”bastard child of the Bill of Rights.”

“The armed citizen made America free and the armed citizen will keep America free!” Clarke said, also calling the armed citizen the “great equalizer” and giving examples of three such instances in his area.

“Those firearms in the hands of law-abiding citizens saved people’s lives,” he added, declaring he “damn well meant it” when he took his oath to defend the Constitution.

“We’re partners now,” he said in closing after calling on people to join pro-gun groups. He also warned them that the fight to defend the Second Amendment will be a tough, never-ending one.

“Are you ready?”

The answer seemed to be found in a final standing ovation.

DIVERSITY BRINGS UNITY CONFERENCE

In preparation for the Democratic Party Convention to be held in 2016, a large group of Democratic Party activists held a conference on Diversity.  The following report demonstrates the Unity through Diversity theme of the Democrats.-----Hugh Murray

Ivan Fernando, Diversity Chronicle, March 13, 2014

No one could have possibly predicted that an event organized with the noble intention of trying to bring people of all races, genders, sexual orientations and religions together could tragically explode in violent infighting. Unfortunately, that is just what happened to the Diversity Conference last weekend. The conference, which was originally planned for four days, was forced to conclude early on its first night as police were called in by outside observers to end the fighting that tragically erupted. The episode was sadly symptomatic of a larger problem within the American progressive community: the failure to adopt a truly egalitarian worldview that really celebrates and respects all kinds of diversity, recognizing all forms of diversity, racial, sexual and religious as inherently equal in every way!

Held near Nashville, Tennessee, shortly before the intolerant and racist American Renaissance conference, the Diversity Conference included progressives, anti-racists, feminists, LGBT rights activists, civil rights activists and members of religious minority groups from the Black and Salafi Muslims to Reformed and Humanistic Jews. The purpose of the conference was to prove the American Renaissance racists wrong and to highlight the many benefits of living in a diverse and multi-cultural society. The goal was to show the world that peaceful co-existence and tolerance are possible and will lead to a better, safer and more enlightened world for everyone.

It is difficult to pinpoint how the fighting started but it seems to have originated in an unanticipated conflict between lesbian feminists and male Muslim activists. It is both tragic and remarkable how easy it is for some people to forget that we are all the same inside. We must never forget that, and we must never forget that we are all fighting for the same principles and against the very same enemies. It is very important that we work together and present a united front against hate.

A new and creative workshop offered free “privileged white” tattoos, done on the foreheads of privileged whites who have taken their first steps into a larger world by recognizing and condemning their own white privilege in a public and permanent way. The forehead tattoos will serve as a daily reminder of the ugly persistence of white privilege and racism even in 2014 and under the presidency of Barack Obama, our first African-American president. It is a tragic fact that white racism has only grown over time in America since the days of slavery and Jim Crow.

Another popular, groundbreaking, and especially meaningful workshop at the Diversity Conference gave white attendees small whips and encouraged them to scourge and flagellate their white skin in solidarity with the oppression, beatings, whippings and torture of African-American slaves by whites. Several attendees praised the flogging workshop as a transformative and empowering experience for them. Unique and interesting BDSM toys and paraphernalia were also offered for sale to raise money for next year’s conference.

Later that evening, keynote speaker Adriana Loeb-Horowitz began her talk, she noted that as long as men have existed they have oppressed women. Offering her own solution to the problem, she suggested “the abolition of the male gender through compulsory castration and the imprisonment of most men, so as to smash the growing rape culture forever. If the human species was entirely female, and reproduced through some kind of new cloning or artificial insemination technology that negated men, the world would be an infinitely more peaceful place. Surely, whatever methods are necessary, no matter how seemingly brutal, would be justified by the overriding necessity of the project.”

Some in the audience actually booed Loeb-Horowitz’s speech out loud and shockingly called her “insane.” Others disgustingly referred to her as a “dumb woman.” These remarks were not limited to a few isolated individuals, but expressed the views of many Black and Salafi Muslims, Gay men and Hispanics in attendance. Sadly the war on women is very far from over as the above remarks prove. All too often, even in progressive circles women and their ideas are ridiculed and singled out for attack by male bullies. The behaviour of many men in the audience made me ashamed to be male.

Imam Muhammed Bukhari of the Egyptian Salafi Federation condemned Loeb-Horowitz’s speech before she was able to  finish speaking. Interrupting the speech, the Imam announced that as soon as his return flight to Egypt would land, he planned on issuing a fatwa calling for her death. “This kind of poisonous anti-male hatred stems from a sick form of Judeo-Masonic-Atheism, the ugly black venom of which runs through every strata of Kafir American dog society. This hideous creature has chosen to become a lesbian out of her sheer hatred of men. She now desires to end the male gender in some kind of deviant implausible fantasy. If you can’t stone her, please shoot her or cut her head off, brave soldiers of Allah do not suffer this lesbian witch to live! Take up glorious Jihad, fight for your religion!” The Imam went on to cite several verses apparently from the Qur’an, Hadith and even the Bible, attempting to distort scripture and Islam, the religion of peace, to justify his apparent call for murder and intolerance.

Loeb-Horowitz responded to Imam Bukhari by stating “This is exactly the kind of violence that is an inseparable part of the male gender and always will be! I was being too gracious, we really need to exterminate the entire male gender! We need someone like a female Stalin to rise up and solve the male problem once and for all!” Upon hearing this several gay men in attendance openly stood up in defiance and walked out of the conference, some announcing that they were protesting what they called a “blatantly offensive sexist” speaker. A contingent of Black Muslims also objected profusely, their spokesperson Amalek Abdullah noted that “We never would have attended this conference had we realized it was full of sexually immoral individuals, male hatred, hedonistic drug addicted hippy rejects and assorted freaks of all kinds. This isn’t a diversity conference, it is some kind of sick and abhorrent freak show!”

Surprisingly, the Black Muslims and Egyptian Salafis also began to fight. The Egyptians apparently began referring to the Blacks as “abeeds” (slaves in Arabic) and stated that their form of Islam was inauthentic and false. The Egyptian clerics threatened the Black Muslims with eternal hell, as the Black Muslims responded threatening the Salafi Egyptians with hell and condemning them as racists and white supremacists, ignorant of true Islam. The question of whether or not the great Prophet Muhammed (Peace and blessings be upon him) was black or Arab was hotly contested by both sides.

About the only speech the conference attendees could support without any dissension was by Prof. Noel Ignatiev. The professor’s talk entitled “Treason To Whiteness Is Loyalty To Humanity, Betray Your Race Today” received vociferous applause from almost all in attendance. In his talk the brave professor excoriated the hypocrisy of many privileged white liberals, who profess to love African Americans and diversity yet who choose to live in largely segregated white communities. Ignatiev rightly urged progressives to move to black ghettos and to the inner cities, if for no other reason than to ensure that one’s children are exposed to the benefits of diversity and to ensure that they do not grow up to embrace racist views. Surely, no reasonable white person who really lived among Blacks, Hispanics or Gays or Lesbians would fail to see their innate virtues as well as the incalculable benefits of diversity.

While acknowledging that inner city schools often fall short of academic standards elsewhere in the nation, Professor Ignatiev rightly blamed white people for their lagging scholastic performance.

Unfortunately, during the question and answer session after his speech, the Salafi Muslims became very hostile and denounced Professor Ignatiev once he admitted he was in fact an atheist. “There is no God but Allah, and Muhammed is His Prophet. Kneel before Allah or perish in the eternal hell fire! You are an anti-Zionist, so you say, but what good are you? You deny God the most holy! You are lower than a pig!” Imam Bukhari stated angrily as he spat in Ignatiev’s direction.

A couple of Jews in attendance with ties to the Jewish Defence League stated that they would refuse to talk with any Muslims or Arabs present or listen to their speeches, as long as they denied the right of the state of Israel to exist, and for it to exist as an exclusively Jewish state forever. Harsh words were exchanged between JDL sympathizers and Muslims, after which a fist fight broke out between the rival groups. A group of transgendered men with tie-dyed shirts on, wearing large peace sign necklaces tried to position themselves between the rival groups urging peace, love and tolerance, until assailants on both sides began pelting them with rocks, incapacitating and in some cases seriously injuring them. In a very sad and almost pitiful display, fanatical Jews and Muslims shared a mutual transphobic hate-crime, appearing to have only a shared bigotry in common.

As if there wasn’t enough conflict already for one day, several black attendees walked out, and still others become violent, during the speech by Martin Hernandez representing the Aztlan Freedom Front. A Chicano Nationalist group dedicated to reclaiming the so-called “American” southwest for Aztlan. Hernandez called for more immigration from Mexico and stated that no one works as hard as Mexican day labourers. Several black nationalists in attendance objected and booed. Some shouted that Mexicans steal jobs from blacks and should go back to Mexico. To this accusation Hernanedez shouted, “Go back to Africa, this is our land! This is a bronze continent and Aztlan is a Mestizo nation. You can leave, it belongs to us! Get out!” Prompting screams and curses from blacks in attendance. Some were even seen hurling rocks and broken beer bottles at Hernandez.

What was to be a four day celebration of diversity of sex, sexual orientation, race, and religion degenerated into a violent orgy of fighting, intolerance, judgement, and even shockingly overt racism! We must strive ever harder to overcome racism, sexism, homophobia, Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. We must recognize that these evils persist even among those of us who are the most progressive. If even progressives can be this racist, sexist and homophobic, imagine how truly sick our enemies are? Their evil and hateful nature must be beyond description, it is too frightening to contemplate.

I assume this is a spoof, but not too far from the reality of political correctness in the US.----Hugh Murray  This was taken from the American Renaissance site.

DEATH SENTENCE FOR CRITICIZING MOHAMMED - PROPHET OF VIOLENCE

There is a wonderful film about the city of Lahore, "Earth 1947."  It might give some background.  However, in headlines round the world, one reads of Muslims killing Christians and non-believers in Sudan, in Nigeria, in central Africa, in Ethiopia, in Mombai, in Indonesia, in SE Asia, in Russia, in rebel held Syria, in Egypt, in Iraq, in Iran, in western China, in Afghanistan, and even on the streets of London.  They do it inspired by a violent, evil religion.  It is time for all of us to stand together and say - we insult Mohammed, the prophet of violence and murder, we insult Mohammed, we insult Mohammed, we insult Mohammed.  We are the enemy of your evil religious fanaticism and violence and lack of freedom.-----Hugh Murray

PAKISTANI CHRISTIAN SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR INSULTING MOHAMMED

NICK HALLETT 28 Mar 2014

A Christian man has been sentenced to death for blasphemy by a Pakistani court after allegations that he insulted the Prophet Mohammed lead to rioting in a Christian neighbourhood of Lahore last year.

26-year-old Sawan Masih, who is father of three children, was convicted of uttering the insult during a conversation with a Muslim friend. A mob then burned two churches and dozens of Christian homes in the eastern Pakistani city.

The Times newspaper says that if this sentence is carried out, it will be the first execution under Pakistan's blasphemy laws.

Masih maintains that he was falsely accused as part of a plot by Muslim businessmen to clear Christians from their Lahore neighbourhood and turn the area into a profitable industrial estate. He is expected to appeal against the ruling.

Pakistan has become infamous in recent years for mob violence and vigilantism in response to any perceived insult to Islam or the Prophet Mohammed.

Such is the stigma against anyone accused of blasphemy that the family of a Christian girl falsely accused of burning pages of the Koran was forced to leave the country, despite a Muslim cleric later being arrested for making the story up.

In 2011, the relatively liberal governor of Punjab was killed by his own body guard for suggesting the blasphemy law be repealed. A Christian politician who had also criticised the law was shot dead two months after.

Critics of the law say that it is often abused to settle personal disputes and that members of minority groups are especially vulnerable.

Pakistan is the only country where the punishment for blasphemy is death or life imprisonment.

HOW DEMOCRATS STEAL ELECTIONS

Earlier I had posted a piece on how Democrats suppress the votes.  And buy votes from the homeless shelter.  Not satisfied with cheating and destroying the democratic process one way, this shows how the anit-democratic Democrats destroy democracy in other ways.  The woman at the center of this article was a poll worker, one who should have guaranteed that the voting was honest.  But there is nothing honest about the Democrats.  No wonder, she is honored by her fellow Democrats.  No wonder, some wards voted 100% for Obama.  Surprise it was not 115% of the registered voters!----Hugh Murray

Ohio Democrats, still pushing their phony “voter suppression” meme, kicked off a campaign tonight to put a constitutional amendment on the November ballot. They even brought in Al Sharpton for support.

Sharon Coolidge of the Cincinnati Enquirer tweeted coverage of the event, and it seemed to be the same tired arguments that have been repeated endlessly, until she reported this:

Remember Melowese Richardson? 

She was a poll worker who used her position to vote for Obama multiple times. She is one of the few who ever gets caught for voter fraud and was sentenced to five years in prison.

CINCINNATI - A long-time poll worker who admitted to illegal voting was sentenced to five years in prison Wednesday and received a rebuke from the judge, who cited her criminal past. Melowese Richardson, 58, pleaded no contest to four counts of illegal voting in 2009, 2011 and 2012. One count charged her with voting for her sister, who is in a coma. Four other counts were dropped in exchange for Richardson's plea. During a passionate sentencing speech, Hamilton County Judge Robert P. Ruehlman laid out a laundry list of past charges against Richardson - from witness harassment to theft to assault - as Richardson stood before him. "I'm Melowese Richardson. I take the law into my own hands. I do what I want,"Ruehlman said. "It's about criminal activity. You are a criminal."

That was only eight months ago. For some reason, she has already been released. At an event that was all about voting law, Ohio Democrats invited a person guilty of multiple counts of voter fraud to speak – to "welcome her back" and applaud her. They invited her up to the stage, like some sort of hero. 

Democrats seem to oppose any changes in the law that make it harder to cheat. Their embrace of Melowese Richardson shows where their intentions actually lie.

Six-time Obama voter’s group received Obama administration grant

2:13 AM 03/24/2014

 The woman who admitted to voting for President Barack Obama six times worked for and sat on the board of a group that received an Obama administration Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grant.

Melowese Richardson admitted in 2013 to voting six times for Obama’s re-election while working as a poll worker in Hamilton County, Ohio. Initially convicted on state voter fraud charges and sentenced to five years in prison, Richardson served eight months before the George Soros-funded Ohio Justice and Policy Center helped lessen her sentence to probation. Richardson appeared last week at a rally with some Ohio Democrats and Al Sharpton, who publicly gave her a hug.

Richardson worked for and sat on the board of a Cincinnati-based environmental activist group called Communities United for Action, which received an EPA grant and attended a conference with former Obama administration Labor Secretary Hilda Solis.

“My name is Melowese Richardson and I work for a group called CUFA, Communities United for Action. We passed the first environmental protection ordianance in the country here in Cincinnati and I love to participate with this group because of their repowering America,” Richardson said in a May 15, 2010 video for the Repowering America initiative, which was launched in 2008 by The Climate Reality Project in a speech by former Democratic vice president Al Gore.....

"All Options Are On The Table" For Obama—How About Taking The One Marked “War” OFF The Table?

By Patrick J. Buchanan on March 21, 2014 at 3:29pm

Sweeping through Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania this week, Joe Biden reassured all three that the United States' commitment to Article Five of the NATO treaty remains "solemn" and "iron clad."

Article Five commits us to war if the territory of any of these tiny Baltic nations is violated by Russia.

From World War II to the end of the Cold War, all three were Soviet republics. All three were on the other side of the Yalta line agreed to by FDR, and on the other side of the NATO red line, the Elbe River in Germany.

No president would have dreamed of waging war with Russia over them. Now, under the new NATO, we must. Joe Biden was affirming war guarantees General Eisenhower would have regarded as insane.

Secretary of State John Kerry says that in the Ukraine crisis, "All options are on the table." John McCain wants to begin moving Ukraine into NATO, guaranteeing that any Russian move on the Russified east of Ukraine would mean war with the United States.

Forty members of Congress have written Kerry urging that Georgia, routed in a war it started with Russia over South Ossetia in 2008, be put on a path to membership in NATO.

Following Russia's annexation of Crimea, other voices are calling for expanding NATO to bring in Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova, and for moving U.S. troops and warplanes into Poland and the Baltic republics.

President Obama says, "All options are on the table" if Iran does not give us solid assurances she is not building a bomb. Members of Congress support U.S. military action against Iran, if Tehran does not surrender even the "capability" to build a bomb.

End all enrichment of uranium, or America attacks, they warn.

In the Far East we are committed to defend Japan if China seizes the Senkakus that Beijing claims as Chinese territory, a collection of rocks in the East China Sea. If Kim Jong-Un starts a war with South Korea, we are committed by treaty to fight a second Korean War.

We are committed by treaty to defend the Philippines. And if China acts on its claim to the southern islands of the South China Sea, and starts a shooting war with Manila's navy, we are likely in it.

Is this not an awful lot on Uncle Sam's plate?

Is America really prepared to fight all of these wars that we are obligated by treaty to fight?

The national recoil at attacking Syria, for crossing Obama's "red line"last summer and using poison gas, suggests that there is a vast gulf between what America is obligated by treaty to do, and what the American people are willing to do in sending their soldier sons into a new war.

Indeed, the latest mantra of the war hawks, "no boots on the ground," is meant to reassure the nation that in our next war, unlike Afghanistan and Iraq, there will be no more planeloads of dead coming into Dover, no new generation of Wounded Warriors arriving at Walter Reed.

Soon, the United States is going to have to come to terms with this reality -- the unwillingness of the American people to fight the wars they are committed to fight by the American government.

Yet, the immediate problem is how to avoid a military confrontation or clash with Vladimir Putin's Russia over Crimea, which almost no American wants.

Apparently, the West has decided to start down the sanctions road.

But where does that road lead?

While sanctions may cripple the Russian economy, will they break Putin? Did they break Castro? Did they break Kim Il Sung or Kim Jong Il? Did they break the Ayatollah? Does Putin look like someonewho will respond to an economic squeeze by crying uncle?

Moreover, in this age of interdependence that America did so much to launch, sanctions are a two-edged sword.

If Ukraine cuts off oil, gas, water and electricity into a seceded Crimea, whose tourist trade is drying up, this could provoke Putin into invading Eastern Ukraine and seizing the lone land bridge onto the peninsula.

It could provoke Russia into cutting off imports from Ukraine, turning off the oil and gas, and calling in Ukraine's debts. This would precipitate a default by Ukraine, without more Western aid than the $35 billion it is now estimated Kiev will need by 2016.

Are House Republicans willing to vote America's share of that vast sum and make Ukraine a recipient of U.S. foreign aid roughly equal to what we provide annually to Israel and Egypt?

And if we severely sanction Russia, she could cut off oil and gas to Europe, cause a recession in the eurozone, and move closer to China.

Nixon's great achievement was to split China off from Moscow.President Reagan's great achievement was to preside over the conversion of the "evil empire" into a country where he was cheered in Red Square.

What our Greatest Generation presidents accomplished, our Baby Boomer presidents appear to have booted away.
