I saw this last night but couldn’t get into the blog until this morning:

Trump’s father was arrested in a brawl with the Ku Klux Klan in 1927.

Note – this is not the original Klan that grew up in the South.

This is the first revival that was busted after the stock-market crash.

There was another revival during the Civil Rights Movement.

Now you see what a Trojan Horse the whole Trump candidacy was.

It discredits reasonable objections to immigration policy, it tars the whole conservative movement by association, and it revives the link between Christianity and racism.

Now, consider that just before this story was released in the media, we just had another, in which Poland, Slovakia, and Czechoslovakia agreed to take in only Christian migrants.

Prior to that, some anonymous Syrian gunman says that 40,000 ISIS soldiers are being brought into Europe under cover of migration. Is that a planted story or real? I don’t know yet.

Trump is all FOR Muslim immigration to Europe, but against Mexican (mostly Christian) immigration to America.

Now he is shown to be connected to both the Zionist elite and to the Ku Klux Klan, which is a Nazi-like ideology.

Nazis and Zionists always collaborated when needed.

While affluent expatriate Indians like Ms. Gandhi urge us to ponder the oppression of women by hygiene and etiquette, the real violence suffered with depressing regularity by  male immigrants at the hands of police  does not seem to have got her attention:

From Voices of Liberty.com (Feb 12, 2015)

Welcome to Police State America, Sureshbhai Patel. The 57-year old grandfather hadn’t been away from India more than a week when he was paralyzed by police in Madison, Alabama. Patel was visiting his son and daughter-in-law to help care for their 17-month old baby.

Then things got suspicious. Patel went on a stroll. While the sun was still out. This stirred the Madison Police Department into swift action.

When multiple police officers approached him, Patel didn’t have much to say, at least not in English since he doesn’t speak the language. What would be one of his last voluntary motions before cervical fusion surgery, Patel put his hands in his pockets. One officer attempted a pat-down then took the old man down, smashing his neck and body to the point of paralysis.

According to Madison Police, this all stemmed from a neighbor’s call to them about a “suspicious” man.

From NBC News:

We  are preparing to file a lawsuit against the City of Madison, Alabama, and the officer who injured Mr. Patel,” Hank Sherrod, Patel’s civil rights attorney, told NBC News, “The lawsuit will include claims for violations of Mr. Patel’s constitutional rights. Presently, however, the City of Madison is refusing to release the officer’s name and refusing to provide the media or the family with audio and video of the incident.”

Patel remains partially paralyzed, although the hospital reported him in good condition Monday. His son said that he can now move his right leg a little and he can raise both arms, but his left leg is still paralyzed and he cannot make a tight grip. He had no health problems previously, and he is expected to have a long recovery.

“This is broad daylight, walking down the street,” said Sherrod, “There is nothing suspicious about Mr. Patel other than he has brown skin.”

[The bill was passed on August 13, 2015.]

From Wide-Awake Gentile.wordpress.com, some frightening news:

The Modi Govt is trying to push a bill called the Human DNA Profiling Bill 2015 quietly during the mansoon session of Parliament.Given the oppositions silly noise over some non issues and the media attention that gets it gets , its no surprise that the Human DNA Profiling Bill 2015 has had little if not no mainstream media attention

In all fairness it was  the Globalist Manmohan Singh’s Govt which had first initiated the bill in 2007 . The bill was originally proposed in 2007 and in 2012 drafting of the bill began.The draft bill was prepared by the Department of Biotechnology. The bill proposes to form a National DNA Data Bank and a DNA Profiling Board, and use the data for various specified purposes.

The bill proposes to set up a national DNA data bank and a number of state or regional data banks that will feed into the national data pool. Every data bank will have six categories under which DNA profiles will be filed – crime scene index, suspects’ index, offenders’ index, missing persons’ index, unknown deceased persons’ index, and volunteers’ index. The DNA profiling board will have the power to include more categories. In the offenders’ index, the DNA information will be linked to the name of the person from whom it was collected. All others will be linked to a case reference number. Source Scroll in Article

Given the massive amounts of corruption in Indian Police investigations framing a person whose DNA is in the database is a piece of cake

Law and poverty expert Usha Ramanathan and Centre for Internet and Society executive director Sunil Abraham, who are members of an expert committee on DNA profiling constituted by the government, have written dissent notes against the final draft of the Human DNA Profiling Bill. Ramanathan notes that one of the biggest challenges of a DNA database is function creep – the gradual widening of the use of a technology beyond the purpose for which it was originally intended.

The CDFD ( Hyderabad-based Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics) is using the CODIS software bought from the US’s FBI and compatible with their systems

The bill does not clarify under what circumstances someone’s DNA will be collected for the database with or without consent .

While countries such as the US and the UK permit collection of DNA without consent, their laws are clear about when it can be done.

[Here, the author is being optimistic. Indeed, the constitution has become whatever anyone says it is, these days.]

Whether the Indian Constitution allows the state to take DNA without consent is something that will certainly be decided by the Courts.

The Bill does not set a limit to how long someone’s DNA will kept on record.

In the UK, DNA data of a recordable offense can be kept for only six years.

The bill even allows the creation of population statistics, identification research, parental disputes, issues relating to reproductive technologies and migration. These provisions could one day allow the government to PUSH CIVILIANS TO PROVIDE DNA DATA .

The draft Bill  involves collection of “intimate body samples” of living persons from “the genital or anal area, the buttocks and also breasts in the case of a female”.

DNA swabbing in Western countries is usually done by swabbing the mouth.

The Bill has no specific statutory safeguards on how  store , retrieve or who can access potentially huge database of the most private and intimate kind

The UID database already has biometric information for most Indians.

If any government in future decides to link the UID database with the DNA database , it would place in the hands of the government and its agencies all personal details about millions of citizens. Will the information be made available for research?

There is very little clarity on custody of the DNA samples collected and the data stored.

If this custody gets privatized and given the few Indian private companies with the ability to maintain such data, in a few years time American European or Israeli private companies could easily have access to this huge databank. If it somehow gets passed on to their home spy agencies the CIA and Mossad , the potential for those two agencies to use the DNA data to frame  blackmail & trap  thousands of innocent Indians is very high.

“Have I become your enemy because I tell you the truth?”

St. Paul’s Letter to the Galatians, 4:16

AngryHarry.com:

In areas such as medicine, the requirement to give women ‘equal opportunities’ by demanding that medical schools try to train as many women as they do men to become doctors is leading to far worse conditions and shortfalls in the NHS – a service that is already failing the country abysmally.

The fact that so many of these women doctors will take out years from their profession in order to have children and to look after them (with some never returning) is a major drain on a system that is already unable to cope.

In theory, it sounds great to have as many women doctors working in the NHS as men. In practice, however, the consequence is that EVERYONE has to wait a good deal longer to be dealt with, and the entire service is considerably less efficient.

And with waiting lists already far too long even for urgent surgical operations, the price for this ‘equality’ is rather high. And it costs some people their health and some people their lives.

Most people have a great deal of sympathy with the view that women should be permitted to become doctors working for the NHS if they have the requisite abilities – even if they do log out of the system to bring up families. But there is a price to be paid. In the case of the NHS, everyone who uses it pays a price – particularly the old, the young, the weak, the vulnerable and the sick.

In fact, the most needy of all pay the price!

And these are mostly women.

many times more women are negatively affected by an impoverished NHS than there are women doctors.

Indeed, many times more women are negatively affected by an impoverished NHS than there are women doctors.

Indeed, all women are affected by this.

Further, of course, all of us will need medical treatment at some stage in our lives, and so all of us will suffer from the adverse effects of an NHS that is greatly diminished by the low long-term career aspirations of a relatively small number of women.

[January 2014 – UK citizens will now be aware that tens of thousands of people are known to have died over the years – with thousands more having received appalling treatment – because of the serious shortcomings that have arisen in the NHS over the past three decades.]

Furthermore, the training of doctors is a very expensive business that stretches well beyond the five years that students spend at medical school. And with 60% of women doctors giving up their careers within ten years, the training of women to become doctors is largely a waste of taxpayers’ money.

Moreover, the country loses the potential talents of all those young men who would have embarked upon long-term careers in medicine were it not for the fact that women were taking up the places at medical schools.

And, of course, as with all the major professions, experience is just about everything. And so when women doctors in the NHS give up their careers after a few years of work, the country is denied the services of men doctors who would actually have had the same period of experience.

And who would then have gone on to get even more experience.

In other words, these future highly-experienced doctors are lost forever.

In summary, the training of women to become doctors significantly degrades the health system. It harms the most needy of people the most. It negatively impacts on all of us. It is a waste of taxpayers’ money. And it persistently deprives the country of a large number of highly experienced doctors.

But that’s feminism for you.

As in so many other areas, it has a huge cost.

And why do we inflict this huge cost upon the nation?

We do this so that a few thousand women can benefit from having a career in medicine

We do this so that a few thousand women can benefit from having a career in medicine, with most of them choosing to abandon it for something more to their liking.

What is the solution? Do we stop women from becoming doctors by giving all the limited number of places at medical schools to men?

Well, the purpose of this article was not to provide a particular solution to this problem, but to point out that this is yet another area where feminism extracts a very large price from just about everyone for the benefit of a few women. This needs to be pointed out rather than swept under the carpet.

Indeed, this ideology puts more importance on the career aspirations of a few thousand women than it does on the health of the entire nation; including the health of our children!”

So much for the notion that feminism is about “social justice” or the ending of  the “oppression” of women.  As Dirty Harry points out, for the vast majority of history, most men were as oppressed in their way as women were.

What liberated both were advances in technology and medicine, both largely made by men, as a matter of pure fact. How then did feminism “liberate women” except to turn most of them into entitled harridans who can neither keep home and hearth and please their mates nor compete on equal terms with men.

From Andrew Gavin Marshall at Global Research. ca:

Rwanda’s Colonial Past

The Rwandan genocide occurred in 1994, but rose out of events in the late 80s and early 90s relating directly to Rwanda’s economy. This event was triggered by the assassination of Rwandan President Habyarimana in 1994, who was President during the1990 to 1993 civil war.

Due largely to its colonial past Rwanda’s economy is highly dependent on coffee exports and widespread divisions exist among its people. Most notable is the division fostered between the Hutu and the Tutsis, which began in 1926[9] as part of a Belgian strategy to “fuel inter-ethnic rivalries as a means of achieving political control…”[10] The Belgians favoured the Tutsis over the Hutu.

In 1962 Belgium gave up Rwanda and the Tutsis lost their monopoly of power, giving rise to Hutu control. Many Tutsis were expelled from office.[11] “In 1973 Hutu military leader, Juvénal Habyarimana and a group of his followers, executed a successful coup. Habyarimana and the Hutu elite led Rwanda through almost two decades of economic prosperity.”[11]

Economic Problems and Structural Adjustments

In the late 1980s, economic problems arose for Rwanda’s monoculture coffee economy. This started in 1987, when “the system of quotas established under the International Coffee Agreement (ICA) started to fall apart and world prices plummeted.” Rwanda’s state controlled fund that promoted coffee price stabilization became massively indebted.[12]

Deliberations were undertaken between Habyarimana’s government and the IMF and World Bank. The World Bank sent a group to Rwanda in 1988 to “review Rwanda’s public expenditure program,” and they implemented a Structural Adjustment Program with many conditions.[13]

This coincided with the start of the Rwandan Civil War (1990-1993), which formed as the Hutu aristocracy became divided against each other,”[14] and at the same time, a “guerilla group comprised of a majority of Tutsi refuges trained in Ugandan camps, [the] Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), invaded Rwanda and attempted to reach the capital Kigali,” which had the result of weakening Habyarimana’s regime and led to the civil war.[15]

The Structural Adjustment Program was implemented in this politically unstable context and required a 50 percent devaluation of the Rwandan franc, carried out in November 1990. This was “barely six weeks after the incursion from Uganda of the rebel army of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF).” The economic shock exacerbated the civil war and resulted in massive inflation and significant increases in the price of fuel and food.[16]

Societal Collapse

“State enterprises were pushed into bankruptcy and public services collapsed,” including health and education.[17] In 1992, during the height of the civil war, the IMF ordered a second devaluation, which led to further price increases. In a single year coffee production tumbled by another 25 percent. Because so much land was dedicated to coffee there was not enough available to produce food.[18]

Widespread famines followed, which in turn led to the implementation of a World Bank and IMF Structural Adjustment Program requiring the liberalization of trade, economic deregulation, and cheap food imports and aid, which destabilized local markets.[19]

Under the Structural Adjustment Program Rwanda signed onto with the donor institutions, large loans were given to the Rwandan Central Bank for importing commodities. Many of the loans were “diverted by the regime (and its various political factions) towards the acquisition of military hardware (from South Africa, Egypt and Eastern Europe).”[20]

Western Military Backing

The years of the Rwandan Civil War and the genocide itself took place during a time when Madeline Albright was Bill Clinton’s Ambassador to the United Nations and Kofi Annan was the head of the UN’s peacekeeping operations. Investigative journalist Wayne Madsen alleged in his book, Jaded Tasks: Brass Plates, Black Ops, & Big Oil, that Albright and Annan ignored evidence that the US backed Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) was responsible for the April 6, 1994 terrorist missile attack on the aircraft carrying the Hutu president of Rwanda.[21]

Madsen explains that the initial RPF invasion of Rwanda from Uganda in 1990, “had the military backing of the first Bush administration [1989-1993], including Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney,” and that the aim of the RPF was to overthrow Rwanda’s Hutu president.[22] Madsen exposed how the RPF deputy leader, Paul Kagame was trained at US Army installations in the United States and when, during the 1990 invasion of Rwanda, the RPF’s leader was killed, “Kagame became the head of the guerrilla army, and his ties with the Pentagon, CIA, and State Department became closer.” Classified UN documents revealed that Annan and Albright were aware of this information.[23]

It came out in a French National Assembly inquiry that, “the U.S. even supplied the RPF with the Soviet-made surface-to-air missiles that were used to shoot down the Rwandan presidential aircraft,” and that a UN investigation team got a hold of information that, “a company linked to the CIA leased the warehouse used to assemble the missile launchers.”[24] However, the investigation was closed down once the relationship to the US was realized.

It was in 2004 when a French investigation was completed on the shooting down of the plane, and as Madsen explained, those who were close to the investigation had revealed a disturbing connection to what Madsen describes as a “shadowy organization” composed of powerful political and oil interests, commonly known as the “International Strategic and Tactical Organization.”[25]

Debt Repayment

Less than a year after the 1994 massacres Rwanda’s creditors approached the Tutsi-led RPF government regarding the debts of the former regime that had been used to finance the bloodshed. “The Tutsi-led RPF government, rather than demanding the cancellation of Rwanda’s odious debts, had welcomed the Bretton Woods institutions with open arms,” because, “They needed the IMF ‘greenlight’ to boost development of the military,” which is exactly where the new loans went.[26]

The genocide was successful in its intentions, as the French-supported Hutu Habyarimana government was replaced with a US-supported Tutsi Paul Kagame government, with the aid of US special forces and CIA. The situation should in fact be viewed as, “an undeclared war between France and America.”[27]

The aim was to “install an Anglo-American protectorate in Rwanda,” which, “enabled the US to establish a neocolonial foothold in Central Africa.” This was successfully achieved, as the language of the private and government sectors switched from French to English.[28]

India’s Real Estate Bubble Market set for Stagflation in coming 5 years, if not outright Burst
Sneha Shah, 12 May, 2015

“India’s real estate market has seen price stagnation over the last one to one and half years as buyers have disappeared from the markets, given the stratospherically high prices of apartments and villas. The real estate bubble which is sustained based on constantly rising prices, has seen one of its most fundamental tenets going out of the window. No price rise means that investors are now looking for other assets such as equities because with an inflation rate of 5-10%, no price rise means a real reduction in value. There are also numerous anecdotes of prices falling by 15-20% in select pockets such as NCR and Mumbai, especially for extremely high priced areas such as South Delhi and Mumbai.

The real estate market has been built on a foundation of huge debt from public sector banks and black money. Both are under strain now, with the new government making it more onerous to generate black money; and the banks reluctant to lend, given their massive non-performing assets which have plunged their stock prices to new lows. There is also massive inventory which is piling up and straining the balance sheet of developers. The NCR region is supposed to have inventory of around 71 months, which is way above normal. The buyer sentiment is going down each day, with the poor execution record of Indian builders who are not only steeped in corruption but also bad at execution. Many developers have just stopped construction as they have no money. Unitech which is the second largest builder has left buyers in the lurch, with delays ranging upto 5 years and no visibility on when it will complete those projects.

Real estate in India allows retailer to leverage their savings and get tax breaks. This has artificially boosted price along with massive amounts of black money. Most of the corruption money in India (Saradha scam, FTI scam etc.) gets parked into real estate, as it can absorb massive amounts of money without too much scrutiny. Most consumers have almost no right, as the developers have huge power due to political and police patronage. There are one sided agreements and construction quality is quite pathetic. There are a huge host of taxes and duties that buyers have to pay, along with hefty registration amounts. Parking is also an extra payable which beats me. Where would a consumer park his car – on his head? Governments even charge apartment buyers for providing infrastructure (utility, roads etc.). Is that not supposed to be why consumers pay normal taxes.

India’s professional white collar workers are the biggest pansies in the Indian system.

[Lila: She means patsies.]

They have to pay huge taxes and get little or nothing in return. The business and trader class do not pay almost any tax, by bribing and falsifying their income. Agricultural income in India is not taxed. Even if you make $100 million from agriculture you will have to pay zero tax, but if you make $500 a month by honest hard work in a company, then you have to pay tax. No wonder so many Indian professionals have emigrated. The new government will have to change these anomalies in order for India to become a modern economy. Just putting out slogans will not help unless these structural issues are resolved.

Enough of my rants and back to the topic. India real estate prices make no sense at all, compared to any valuation metric. The price to income ratio is extremely high and the rental yield is abysmally low. Getting a rental yield of 2-3% is considered great, that is if you can find a tenant. Most people like to keep their apartments and real estate empty because they think keeping a tenant is a risk to their capital, if the tenant decides to illegally occupy the property. The Indian fascination and real estate price appreciation was driven by cheap global liquidity, black money and bad policies. Given where the prices have reached, I think that stagflation is the best option for the real estate industries. Steep price falls is also a possibility if the global liquidity situation tightens. In summary, investing in real estate is the stupidest thing to do right now.”

I’m not coming back to blogging yet, but I had to add my endorsement of Rockwell’s (and Glenn Greenwald’s) comments about the Hastert indictment:

Lew Rockwell is dead right about the insane indictment of the former GOP Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert, on charges he structured money withdrawals from his bank account (“structuring” is the “crime” of taking out your own money from your own bank-account in the form of cash in such a way as to avoid triggering the bank’s reporting requirements):

This amiable dunce was installed so the hated and feared Tom Delay could run the House unimpeded. Now the Patriot Act that Hastert pushed at Delay’s instructions dhas resulted in his being indicted.

More proof Hastert is a boob: he talked to the FBI without his lawyer present. And where did this ex-high school wrestling coach get $3.4 million to pay someone off? If he’d listened to Ron Paul, and blocked the Patriot Act, he wouldn’t be facing a cage. As Ron also pointed out, about normal people, it is an outrage that you can go to jail for using your own money, earned and taxed, without filling out a government form. (Thanks to Diogenes).”

For those who are not aware, in the US, prosecutors and judges control the judicial system. There is rampant corruption and abuse of office that passes virtually unremarked in the major media.

There are professional, financial and bureaucratic incentives for government agencies to go after low-hanging fruit; that is, convict on  trivial offenses or harass ordinary people without connections, rather than pursue serious criminality (rapists, bank-robbers and the like).

The entire system is a form of blackmail and extortion of defendants, with the threat of incarceration hanging in the background, all in order to get revenues.

Meanwhile, the intelligence services and the prison system are also for-profit systems. The more surveillance and prison there are, the better the owners/investors in these systems do.

Naturally, the definition of what constitutes a crime expands and the number of “criminals” incarcerated increases.

I’ve had many criticisms of Greenwald over the Snowden business, but on this, his and Rockwell’s comments are excellent.
