BO Pics

A few pics from a stroll around Whitehall and Westminster today. There's piles more to download from my cameras, and my brain, but it's time for some dinner and a mindless movie. I am in a very grumpy mood...

Please note: Muslims BIG!
Metropolitan Police MicroCopper™ SMALL!

And today's forecast

... scattered showers with the outside chance of some Sunni outbreaks in the Downing Street area

Personally, I think now that this little do has been rumbled nothing will come of it. But we'll see...

Memorable quotes from NonConspiro™ World

Some wise words from the foremost classical thinkers of NonConspiro™ World...


"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to something."

Edmund Burke


"Eternal complacency is the price of liberty."

Wendell Phillips, (1811-1884)


"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve both."

Benjamin Franklin


“There is no safety for honest men except by believing nothing possibly evil of evil men.”

Edmund Burke (again, he was a lad)


"The greatest tyrannies are rarely, if ever, perpetrated in the name of the noblest causes."

Thomas Paine


"If we become a people who are willing to give up our money and our freedom in exchange for rhetoric and promises, then that's an absolutely fantastic idea."

Thomas Sowell


etc etc

Welcome to NonConspiro™ World

You may or may not have detected that there’s been one of those periodic upsurges in mainstream attacks on 'conspiracy theories' and 'conspiracy theorists'

Tony Blair’s frankly breath-taking assault on the supposedly conspiracy theory obsessed mainstream media being the most high-profile example

Yes, of course, the mainstream media is absolutely riddled with conspiracy theories. You can’t open a broadsheet or visit an on-line news portal without being deluged with articles that highlight the factual inaccuracies and omissions in the Official Accounts of 7/7 and 9/11

Bollocks

The mainstream media are not my friend, even if the biggest dickhead in the country has a go at them once in a while




However, all things considered, the continuing assault on 'conspiracy theorists' is excellent news.

Every time BBC2 or Channel 4 host a documentary that, shock horror, scientifically proves once again that mistrust of government, newspapers and corporations is a sign of mental illness I indulge myself and have a little chuckle. By their own admission, the bitches who pedal this stuff have to concede that the number of people who adhere to 'conspiracy theories' is growing…

Apparently, mental illness is contagious

There are at least a couple of good reasons, as yet unexplored by television psychologists, for why this sickness is so virulent

First off, it’s incurable. Once you’re infected it’s almost impossible to recover. If you ever discover that someone is lying to you it’s virtually impossible to ever trust them again

Secondly, the parameters of what constitutes a 'conspiracy theory' are being expanded constantly – rather like the way pharma regularly enlarges the list of what diseases are symptomatic of ‘African’ AIDS.

It’s got to a point now where anyone gifted with perfectly healthy levels of paranoia and mistrust of the interests that have subverted democracy to fuck us over and slaughter innocent people in our name is now labelled as being psychologically damaged

"Yes yer Lordship. I know's me place. I'll just sit here with me beer and fags and not be asking any 'awkward questions. I don't wanna to banged up fer being a loonie do I?"

Yup, welcome to NonConspiro™ World. A world free from vested interests, lobbies, corruption, organised crime, ruthless elites, corporate misbehaviour and dodgy intelligence operations. Everything there is to know about how NonConspiro™ World works is known

What a lovely fluffy place NonConspiro™ World is

NonConspiro™ World (artist's impression)

Apparently, some of us believe in a fantasy parallel Conspiro World™ because that helps us come to terms with a scarily random universe. NonConspiro™ World adherents are, on the other hand, rational pragmatists who can deal with frightening realities.

Yes, yes it all makes sense. I just wish I had the kind of razor sharp intellect, education, personal honesty, social standing and mental stability needed to perceive these Scientifically Proven Truths™

The Chip Shop of Terror!!

Well, if today's Thursday 14th June tomorrow must be BRITISH OPPRESSION!! demo day

Oh goodie

To be honest, I can't tell if tomorrow's march is going to be a non event or a scrum but Britain's 'favourite newspaper' is getting mileage out of it anyway...




If you read the accompanying article it turns out that...

"The Ocean Fisheries chippie used to be owned by the family of suicide bomber Shehzad Tanweer, 22"

Perfect, just perfect

I'll be posting links to all those other British blogs, concerned about the newspapers and government using suspicious fringe demos like this as an excuse to call for stricter laws on all of us, which are commenting on tomorrow's event/ non event, just as soon as I find any


(PS And if you're reading this Ian, you're always complaining that most demos these days are boring and not worth photographing. Methinks there may be an opportunity to put your camera where you mouth is)

edit: And the best response to the Sun's article I've seen so far is this post...

the sun really does make me cockle

cod minnows why cray keep trout-ing eel this stuff about 'hake', makes me sick to the gills it does - where's the hake in catfish poster then ? the sole thing i saw was a load of poor cods being badly mis-trout-ed - i couldn't see any hake, bata tuna what ? i think this plan will flounder, as it's increasingly known to be a load of hoki red herring whitebait pollocks set up by whitefish prawns - whelk thanks to our dogfish and brill blogger friends The Anchovy fish and others (they've got boals i tell you what), thanks to them this has been exposed as sucker carp, it really is taki the fish

i sincerely hope the police squid end up scampi about redfish-ed when no grouper protest takes plaice and there's no-one there to gudgeon

time this nonsense was knocked off its perch

the sun really needs to stop carp-ing on about Islam, skate-ing round the truth, shrimp-ing on the facts, and outright flatfish ling, it's so snook-y and sild-y...what a bunch of puntis

:winkle:

Who says you have to pay a professional big newspaper journalist £100k+ to write shit puns and pass them off as news?

Video recommendations of the week

A couple of examples of how far video editing technology has come, or hasn't come, since I don't know, say 1969 or July 7th 2005...

From Antagonist's blog a link to a clip of the definitely dead Bob Monkhouse making a charity appeal not so much from beyond his grave as next to it...



(I've always had a problem with what isn't said on those 7/7 'confession' videos and am not sure that there's any need for sceptics to invoke technical trickery. Bob's post mortem appeal does, however, show what is possible)


And the video of Rammstein's Amerika which I have to admit had me pissing myself, a lot...

Nice Pyramid...

(Lyrics here)

All together now

We're all living in Amerika. Amerika ist wonderbra...




(I should mention that's there's a shed load more going on in that Rammstein video than might first meet the eye. One example, if you do watch it, is the contrast between the nicely defined boot print left by the 'astronaut' on the lunar surface and the not so nicely defined footprint left by the guy walking on dry sand a little later on in the video. There are plenty of others. Genius...)

Album recommendation of the week

As mentioned in a earlier post, thanks to me answering a question someone asked in a comment a few weeks ago, this blog now appears in Google results if you search for 'Brown Gordon Rocking Horse Photograph Nappy'.

For anyone interested in what I'm talking about an explanation can be found here and some context here.

Which is not the same thing as an endorsement of the blog that gave this particular story a new lease of life. Personally, I hold 'right wing' and 'left wing' blogs in equal contempt as being prisoners of the same bullshit dichotomy. To paraphrase Gunnery Sergeant Hartmann 'There is no political bigotry here. I do not look down on tories, lefties or liberals. Here, you are all equally worthless.' Representative Democracy is dying on its all too easily corrupted arse and the sooner people can figure out a way of making Participatory Democracy work the better (or at the very least have 'None of the Above - Please find someone better' as an option on our ballot papers).

But I digress...

Now as it happens, as with the stories I posted about yesterday, there is absolutely no reason to believe that the nappy story is true. However, it does have some utility in that it appears to piss off some of those Labour party supporters who are trying to convince themselves that Brnwo is somehow going to be a less disgraceful Prime Minister than Blair has been.

But that's all by the by. The reason why I'm posting is that I happened upon this moderately synchronous photograph of an old album cover that I've just uploaded with the catchy file name...

Nappy Brown's Rocking Classics - Best of Both Worlds - Now available at Amazon

Feast on that Google Image Search. Feast my Lovely...


-

and yes, I know our politicians have a such a difficult job and they can't please all the people all the time etc etc. My response is that by their action or omission of action those bastards haved killed people and they lie through their teeth about it. Fuck them, I hope they burn in Hell.

L'orologio sparito di Bush

Just in case anyone bumping into this blog doesn't subscribe to the same feeds as I do...

There's a cracking photo story on the La Republicca website that graphically tells the heart-warming tale of how George W. got his watched nicked in Albania last (oops) this year week

"Mistero sull'orologio di Bush dopo il bagno di folla di domenica in Albania. Stando alle immagini della televisione locale il presidente esibiva un orologio all'arrivo. ma, dopo i tanti abbracci e strette di mano, il suo polso era nudo. Che fine ha fatto l'orologio?"

"It's the old "you are our hero!" steal the watch trick. Works every time"

I am particularly enjoying the grin on the chap's face in the third photo

Hats off to the whoever (literally) pulled that off. Bush is surrounded by some of the most highly-trained, heavily armed bodyguards in the world and they still had a go

Kudos

edit: also now available on Youtube

No more kiddie porn for you Mr Government Minister (?)

Just in case anyone has missed this post from the Yorkshire Ranter...

"You probably don't know that the government wants to implement wholesale filtering of URL requests from the end of next month, do you? Not that the national press, TV, or anything else has reported on it, nor has there been any serious parliamentary debate. Nuh. But the Home Office is pressurising British ISPs to install a system BT has been using since 2003, at the behest of (guess who) David Blunkett, called Cleanfeed..."

-

Apparently the Cleenfeed system is being rolled-out to combat online kiddie smut. Though it would seem that people who know a thing or two about the Internet can circumvent it easy enough. Which means that, as with so much of the new measures implemented by our government, it has the potential to affect ordinary law-abiding people a lot more than ordinary non law-abiding criminals

Whilst reading around this issue I encountered the tastefully named and executed NonceWatch web page and a section entitled - TWO LABOUR BIGWIGS IN CHILD PORN INVESTIGATION. There's plenty of stuff out there about what the police may have stumbled upon as a result Operation Ore. Virtually all of it is hearsay and rumour, as the newspapers backed off from the story pronto. It's still an amusing, albeit completely unsubstantiated, read though. So why not pop 'Labour Minister Child Porn Operation Ore' into Google and have a browse around before it all gets 'filtered'

And what better time than now to reproduce a picture of George Robertson, former UK Defence Secretary and Secretary General of NATO...

"Robertson attracted some public criticism for his alleged role in the Dunblane massacre, most notably his alleged prior involvement with Thomas Hamilton, the two men's Masonic connections and the quashing of psychiatric objections to Hamilton's gun license. The allegations were groundless, and Robertson won a libel case against the website that had hosted the claims"

Thanks to the superb British libel laws we can now be sure that if there is any basis to the rumours that senior figures in the Labour party were involved in a child porn case, details of which were subsequently D-Noticed into oblivion, it definitely wasn't him

One down, several hundred to go...

And for an alternate take on the kiddie porn issue it's worth reading a couple of pieces by David Aaronovitch here and here, where he makes the distinction between viewing sick child smut and engaging in sick child smut. Maybe David could have a word with his old friend, former Labour cabinet minister Peter Mandelson and get him to pull a few strings in the government. Because the Conspiraloon™ in me is saying 'today they're filtering kiddie porn, tomorrow whatever the fuck they want'

-

edit: just for clarity's sake all this stuff about Labour MPs is completely unverifiable. My concern is not about who may or may not get off on looking a sick pictures it's about how an issue such as child pornography is elevated and shaped because it serves a wider purpose. That is until the hysteria that's been whipped up starts to splash back onto the people doing the the whipping - at which point the story changes

please also note the exceptional restraint I have shown by not writing a sentence that includes the words Brown, Gordon, Rocking Horse, Photograph and Nappy, even though there is some evidence that an awful lot of people are plugging them into Google

edit2: oops, I've just discovered that this blog does comes up on the first page of Google results if you search 'Brown Gordon Rocking Horse Photograph Nappy' so I must have written that sentence at some point in the past. What with one thing and another, if there really is a NWO that is planning to take over the world I am going to be so fucked

Ah well, in for a penny in for a pound, you may as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb, etc etc..

An open comment for Inayat Bunglawala

As mentioned in an earlier post. Inayat Bunglawala, Assistant Secretary-General Muslim Council of Britain, left a comment under his own article in the Guardian’s Comment is Free saying that people who have doubts about the Official Narrative of 7/7 are ‘nuts’

This struck me as a inconsistent position to be taken by someone who claims to represent the ‘Muslim Community’ in Great Britain so I submitted my own comment under the article yesterday

I had a look this morning to see if my comment had passed moderation and discovered instead that comment submission had been closed and the following message had been appended to the comment thread

Our policy is to close threads after three days. Comments have now been closed on this entry.

Which isn’t exactly true as they’re not posting comments that were accepted for moderation and reproduction. There’s a little bit of retrospective malarky going on over at CiF

Nice

Anyway, I’m reproducing my comment here just in case Inayat ever Googles his own name. I liked it and it seems a shame to waste it...


Given that 59% of Muslims polled have expressed doubts about the Official Narrative of 7/7, Inayat has a couple of honourable courses of action open to him IMHO

Establish why so many Muslims have those doubts and either :

• explain to them why those doubts are ill-founded by addressing the grounds for their concern directly
  
  
• represent their point of view

I can’t see how simply dismissing a large group of people as nutters whilst claiming to represent them can be tenable

He’d also be doing us non-Muslims who feel uneasy about the 7/7 narrative a favour too, one way or the other

And BTW does anyone actually know if permission for a march was given and, if so, who applied for it?



Of course, the irony of all this is is that if people who are sceptical about statements made by the proven liars in our government really did suffer from some form of mental illness all the choppers who call them 'nuts' couldn't get away with it.
