UK Government Deliberately Lied over Iraq Senior Foreign Affairs Official Confirms

Government Deliberately Lied over Iraq, Confirms Senior BNP NewsroomForeign Affairs Official

From BNP Newsroom 

The British National Party, which was the first political party to point out the lies behind the Iraq War, has been vindicated once again with the evidence presented by the former First Secretary responsible for the Middle East to the Iraq Inquiry at the UK's mission to the United Nations.

Giving evidence before the inquiry, better known as the Chilcot inquiry, Carne Ross confirmed that the “Iraq WMD” story was a lie and that parliament and the controlled media were complicit in the deceit.

According to Mr Ross, the government "intentionally and substantially" exaggerated the threat posed by Iraq in order to encourage the war.

He also added, just as the BNP has said, that the individuals responsible for the lies should be held personally criminally liable.

In a lengthy written statement handed in to the inquiry, which can be found on its official website by clicking here, Mr Ross said that it “remains my view that the internal government assessment of Iraq’s capabilities was intentionally and substantially exaggerated in public government documents during 2002 and 2003.

“Throughout my posting in New York, it was the UK and US assessment that while there were many unanswered questions about Iraq’s WMD stocks and capabilities, we did not believe that these amounted to a substantial threat.

“At no point did we have any firm evidence, from intelligence sources or otherwise, of significant weapons holdings: most of the unanswered questions derived from discrepancies in Iraq’s accounting for its past stocks and the destruction of these stocks.”

Mr Ross said that before he took up the New York post, he was briefed by relevant departments in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office 9FCO).

“At Non-Proliferation Department (NPD), which was responsible for the Iraq disarmament issue, I was told that the UK did not believe that Iraq possessed any substantial stocks of chemical weapons (CW), biological weapons (BW) nuclear weapons or the means to deliver them.

“None of the intelligence I saw subsequently in the 4 ½ years that I covered the issue, where I read on most days a thick folder of “humint” and “sigint” [intelligence terms for specific types of reports] relating to Iraq, or the Joint Intelligence Committee assessments, during this period, substantially changed this assessment,” Mr Ross wrote.

Mr Ross also dealt with the claim that Saddam Hussein’s Iraq was somehow behind the attacks of 9-11, which was given as one of the major reasons for the invasion.

He pointed to a minute from the Political Director to the Foreign Secretary on 22 March 2002 which said that there was no evidence whatsoever of any connection between Al Qaida terrorists and the Saddam Hussein regime.

“This judgement is repeated in many different documents during this period,” Mr Ross added.

He also revealed how unproven allegations that Iraq possessed 12 dismantled Scud missiles (which, he points out, was also later to be proven false) were transformed, without any evidence at all, into intercontinental missiles in the infamous “Blair dossier.”

“In the September dossier, up to 12 Scuds became up to 20 Al-Hussain variant extended range Scud missiles, a significant increase, for which there was no corresponding basis in the intelligence data,” Mr Ross said.

“These Scud missiles were apparently the basis for the government’s claim that Iraq could launch WMD within 45 minutes, although the dossier offered no explanation for the 45 minute claim. This claim also had no basis in firm intelligence. There were in fact no dismantled Scud missiles, of any variant, found in Iraq after the 2003 invasion.”

Mr Ross gave another illustration of this process of what he called “deliberate public exaggeration.”

In March 2002, he said, a paper on Iraq’s WMD was sent to the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) which included the claim that if Iraq’s weapons programmes remain unchecked, Iraq could develop a crude nuclear device in about five years.

“This was not and had not been the government’s assessment hitherto which was instead more or less the opposite, that if controls [i.e. sanctions] are lifted, then Iraq could develop a crude nuclear device in about five years.

“In other words, it had been the government’s assessment that sanctions were effectively preventing Iraq from developing a nuclear capability. The head of Non-Proliferation Department sent a minute to the Foreign Secretary’s Special [Political] Adviser of 13 March 2002 drawing attention to this discrepancy (the Head of NPD had not been consulted on the preparation of the PLP paper) which pointed out that the UK’s public formulation (“if controls were lifted..”) was based on JIC assessments.

“The minute was apparently ignored; the PLP paper was not corrected: indeed, it was later circulated as briefing for the Cabinet,” he said.

“The September ‘02 dossier uses an even starker formulation, namely that if “Iraq obtained fissile material and other essential components from foreign sources the timeline for production of a nuclear weapon would be shortened and Iraq could produce a nuclear weapon in between one and two years.

“This statement is purely hypothetical, and was as true in 1991 as it was in 2002; there was no evidence at either point that Iraq was close to obtaining the necessary material,” Mr Ross said.

“This process of exaggeration was gradual, and proceeded by accretion and editing from document to document, in a way that allowed those participating to convince themselves that they were not engaged in blatant dishonesty. But this process led to highly misleading statements about the UK assessment of the Iraqi threat that were, in their totality, lies,” he said.

Mr Ross pointed out that parliament and the mass media were complicit in these lies.

“Nor is it sufficient to rely upon parliament or the press to hold the government to account. Both institutions largely failed to do so in the run-up to the Iraq war, and largely aped and were led by the mendacities of those in government,” Mr Ross said.

He called for the introduction of measures which would hold “individual officials . . . personally and legally accountable for their actions in government.

“There is little such accountability today; instead officials are protected by anonymity, the secrecy cloaking so much of their work, and the legal immunity largely accorded to civil servants, including in conducting actions of such enormous import as sanctions or wars.

“If officials like me or my colleagues know that one day they might personally be held legally accountable for these actions, it should, one hopes, instill in them a greater sense of responsibility and integrity than that which is sometimes evident in the Iraq case.

“It goes without saying that the same legal accountability should also be applied to the political masters who make such decisions. The UK accepted this principle in recent negotiations on the powers of the International Criminal Court whose parties, including the UK, have recently agreed that the crime of aggression should be a prosecutable offence, including for heads of state,” he said.

The BNP first exposed the WMD story as a lie on its website long before it became fashionable to do so, and last year caused a media storm when it called for the politicians and civil servants responsible for the outrageous lies to be held criminally responsible for the war crime of invading Iraq.

Mr Ross’s evidence has confirmed that the BNP’s assessment was and is completely correct. The BNP renews its vow to one day, when it is in government, to bring those political leaders — from all three Westminster parties — and their lackey generals, to trial for their crimes.

Tory Voters Betrayed as Cameron Announces Support for Increased EU Powers

Tory Supporters Betrayed again as Cameron Announces Support for Increased EU Powers

BNP News

Tory voters have been stabbed in the back once again with the announcement by David Cameron that his government will support a new round of European Treaty changes that will see expanded control over EU members’ national budgets.

Mr Cameron campaigned during the past election on an undertaking that he would “roll back” EU powers after admitting that he would not hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty after all.

The new policy, the latest of a series of 180-degree turns by the Tory leadership on major election promises, was announced by Mr Cameron in the House of Commons in a discussion on EU moves to amend the Lisbon Treaty once again to extend its powers to intervene in member states’ economies following the Greek debt disaster.

“A strong and successful eurozone is vital for the British national interest,” Mr Cameron said in parliament, adding that as far as what he called EU “budget surveillance” went, he undertook that the “UK Budget will be shown to this House first and not to the Commission.”

What Mr Cameron omitted to point out is that it does not matter if Westminster “sees” the budget first or not, because the EU will still have the power to amend our nation’s budget as it sees fit.

This was confirmed last week by Catherine Day, secretary general of the European Commission, who said that the Lisbon Treaty had created “new balance of power.”

Speaking at a press conference, Ms Day said that the European Parliament now had significant new powers "which it clearly intends to use.

"There is a new balance of power and this may send some shockwaves in the council but it is important to pick up on this new mood.

"This is a much more assertive parliament and the institution will use its new powers in a number of ways."

The need to change the Lisbon Treaty once again was spelled out in detail by Herman Van Rompuy, president of the European Council.

Speaking in a Financial Times interview, Mr Van Rompuy said that “European Union leaders should not rule out changing the EU’s governing treaty as a way of driving forward economic integration and emerging from the present crisis.”

The European Central Bank has also asked EU finance ministers to consider changing the Lisbon Treaty in order to strengthen the European Commission's hand in punishing countries for falling out of line with the bloc's debt targets.

At their 17 June summit, EU leaders agreed to greater surveillance and coordination of national budgets following the Greek sovereign debt crisis.

A deal on sanctions for countries in a weak financial position will not be finalised until a high-level task force, led by Mr Van Rompuy, reports in October.

Amongst other things, the Van Rompuy task force will look at whether withholding EU funds might be an option for punishing errant governments.

Meanwhile, they can all rest assured that Mr Cameron will back all of these moves, despite whatever his election promises may have been.

EU Fines UK £150 Million for Not Flying the EU Flag Scandal

Pay up Britons: EU Fines UK £150 Million for Not Flying the EU Flag

BNP Newsroom

British taxpayers, already facing huge tax hikes to fund the Lib-Lab-Con’s disastrous economic and social policies, have been saddled with £150 million in fines for the failure to fly the EU flag in our country.

The shocking news emerged last week when the European Commission’s bureaucrats issued the fines in terms of little known regulations which say that the EU flag must be flown at all projects partly funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

In addition to the failure to fly the EU flag on these “EU-funded” projects, several British-based operations were also fined for failing to use the EU flag on their letterheads.

The projects named included the Eden Project in Cornwall, the Millennium Bridge in Gateshead, and the redevelopment of Liverpool’s King’s Dock.

The ridiculousness of the situation is accentuated by the fact that this “funding” is, in fact, UK tax money in the first place.

Britain is only paid back seven out of every ten pounds paid into the European superstate.

If that was not bad enough, all ERDF funding has to be matched pound for pound by Government cash. In essence then, the ERDF merely gobbles up British tax money, keeps a huge chunk for itself and gives a pittance back, which then has to be matched by the British taxpayer once again.

It would obviously be far cheaper to fund all of these projects directly from the Treasury, a simple fact which escapes the dunces in the Lib-Lab-Con party.

This year alone, Britain will contribute £6.4 billion more to Brussels than it receives back.

According to the ERDF website, Britain has received a total of £5 billion of ERDF funding since 2000, which puts this year’s payments into perspective.

According to the Bruges Group, the cost of Britain’s membership of the EU is as follows:

- Over-regulation costs Britain at least £26 billion per annum.

- The Common Agricultural Policy costs Britain at least £15.6 billion a year.

- Since 1973 the UK has made contributions to the EC budget of almost £213.6 billion gross or £66.3 billion net, by 2013 this figure will have increased to £299.8 billion gross, or £102.2 billion net.

- Britain's accumulated trade deficit with the other EU member states since we joined has risen to £359.5 billion.

- Membership of the European Union costs Britain £60.1 billion gross, or £50.6 billion net.

- That is the equivalent for every man, woman and child in Britain of over £1,000 per year gross or £843 net.

ConDem’s UK Health Policy Will Set NHS Back Three Years”

Civitas Slams ConDem’s Health Policy Plans: Will “Set NHS Back Three Years”

The ConDem regime’s White Paper on the National Health Service, set for publication next week, will “mean one thing for patients: a return to rationing, either by waiting or by reductions in services,” according to independent think tank Civitas.

Furthermore, Civitas said, the proposed move to transfer commissioning responsibility to General Practitioners (GPs) will cost the NHS its £20 billion efficiency savings target all by itself.

The White Paper is expected to outline plans to hand control of as much as £80 billion of resources in the NHS from Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) to consortia of GPs.

In an analysis of the proposals, Civitas said that this move is likely to lead “to at least a one year dip in performance in the NHS in absolute terms.”

In addition, it will “set the NHS back at least three years relative to what could be achieved without any structural change,” said James Gubb, director of the health unit at Civitas.

“The NHS is facing the most difficult financial times in its history. Now is not the time for ripping up internal structures yet again on scant evidence base, but for focussing minds on the task ahead and really getting behind the difficult decisions PCTs, as commissioners, will have to make,” Mr Gubb said.

A statement released this morning by Civitas said that its researchers had analysed the impact of the last reconfiguration of commissioning on performance.

“This occurred in 2006 when the number of PCTs was reduced in size from 302 to 152, through merging 222 PCTs and leaving 80 PCTs unchanged — a comparatively minor change compared with that now on the table,” Civitas said.

“Looking at the health watchdog, the Healthcare Commission's, Annual Health Check ratings of PCTs on 'quality of services' and 'use of resources' pre-and post-mergers, the following effects were observed:

“An absolute drop in performance on 'quality of service' and 'use of resources' lasting at least one year in PCTs that were merged.

“Where PCTs were merged in 2006 'quality of services' dropped sharply the year after, with the percentage of merged PCTs rated 'good' or 'excellent' falling from 34 percent in 2005/06 to 12 percent in 2006/07.

“The percentage of merged PCTs rated 'good' or 'excellent' on 'use of resources' also fell, from 5 percent to 4 percent,” the Civitas statement said.

“This compares with significantly improved performance in the 80 PCTs that were not merged. In terms of 'use of resources', the number of PCTs that were not merged rated 'good' or 'excellent' jumped from 15 percent to 34 percent between 2005/06 and 2006/07. In terms of 'quality of services', the number rated 'good' or 'excellent' improved from 35 percent to 39 percent.”

Mr Gubb said that “ruling out the fiscally implausible possibility of significant extra spending on the NHS, past evidence on restructuring in the NHS suggests any slight blip in [Secretary of State for Health Andrew] Lansley's plans will mean one thing for patients: a return to rationing, either by waiting or by reductions in services.”

Once again, the interests of the British people are put last by the ConDem coalition. The “restricting” and “savings” are in stark contrast to the ever increasing EU membership fees, foreign aid, asylum and immigration costs, foreign wars and other expenditures which are not in Britain’s interests.

Ethnic Cleansing Cover-up Reason for Abolition of UK National Census ?

Cover-up of Ethnic Cleansing Most Likely Reason for Abolition of National Census

  From BNP newsroom

An attempt to suppress statistics which reveal the steady ethnic cleansing of the indigenous population of Britain is the most likely reason for the ConDem regime’s shock announcement that the national census is to be abandoned.

 The Domesday Book, 1066Although Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude has cited expense as the reason to abolish the decennial census, this undertaking “only” costs £482 million to complete.

This is minor when it is considered that MPs in Westminster claim an average of £92 million per year in expenses alone and indicates that there is an alternative “real” reason for the move to abolish the census.

A news report quoted constitutional barrister Geoffrey Robertson QC as saying that “future historians will be less able to interpret Britain as a result of this decision — maybe that is the reason for it.”

Mr Robertson has hit the nail on the head. The census figures are definitive proof of the steady replacement of the indigenous population of Britain by a tsunami of Third World immigrants, encouraged and abetted by the Con-Lib-Lab party.

Mr Maude said that the census will be replaced by “regular checks on numbers using existing databases such as post office records and the electoral roll.”

Using these figures will effectively hide the changing racial demographics, as was recently well illustrated in the Barking constituency in London.

In that region, thousands of Africans were added to the voters’ roll, which in turn generated the illusion that “British” people had endorsed the Labour Party in overwhelming numbers in that area.

In reality, as all people on the ground there know, the vast majority of the remaining indigenous population support the British National Party, and the huge numbers of Third World immigrants support Labour.

To base census figures on voters' rolls will deny historians, statisticians and political scientists the ability to measure demographic change through immigration.

Given these factors, the reason behind the move to abolish the census becomes clear: it is a move by the ConDem regime to cover up its complicity in the extinction of the British people in their homeland.

* The 2011 census will still go ahead, according to reports. A national census of Britain goes back over 1,000 years to the time of the Domesday Book of 1066. The decennial census was first introduced 200 years ago during the Victorian era.

EU Reveals Massive Aid Budget with Secret Agenda

Shock as EU Reveals Massive Aid Budget Which Includes Projects So Secret They Won’t Even Say What They Are

  BNP News

An analysis of a new European Union website designed to give transparency on grants made by the EU has revealed a foreign aid budget of billions of euros including grants which are so secret that they refuse to say what they are.

The “secret” projects totalled some £400 million (€476 million) for some 727 grants given to “undisclosed schemes” around the world.

According to think tank Open Europe, these schemes included £80 million in aid to South Africa and £66 million for “neighbourhood policy” in Moldova.

No details of the grants were given for “security reasons” to show how the money was spent, Open Europe said.

“It is unacceptable for the European Commission to be throwing £400 million of taxpayers’ money down a black hole marked confidential,” Open Europe spokesman Stephen Booth was quoted as saying.

“To make matters worse, the EU is demanding even more money to spend on ludicrous projects that are a complete waste of money,” he said.

The new EU website, called the Financial Transparency System, can be found by clicking here. It allows users to search handouts by country, region, project and year.

Some of the more bizarre projects listed in the database include a dance troupe which performs “spectacular belching”, a travelling model of a fire-breathing dragon and a set of postcards for Euro MPs costing £47,000, according to Open Europe.

The website states that “In certain cases parts of the information displayed on a particular grant or contract may be masked, e.g. for security reasons.”

According to Open Europe, one of these “security masked” grants includes  £6.5 million to an unnamed group or individual in Switzerland for “European Neighbourhood and Partnership financial cooperation with Mediterranean countries.”

* The EU Commission has proposed a 5.3 percent rise in the EU’s budget to around £118 billion, all of it drawn from member state’s membership dues — i.e. the taxpayers.

* According to the EU’s own figures, their foreign aid budget to Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America is in excess of $50 billion every year.

Court Ruling Reveals Former Labours Staggering Incompetence

Court Ruling Reveals Former Labour Regime’s Staggering Incompetence

  BNP News

A High Court ruling which has struck down an immigration regulation introduced by the previous Labour regime has illustrated clearly how incompetent, stupid and ill-thought out that government’s policies were.

The regulation in question, brought in by Labour’s Home Secretary Alan Johnson last year, demanded that all foreign students coming to Britain to learn English, had to speak English before being allowed in.

The sheer obvious insanity of the rule (after all, if they could speak English, why would they be coming in to learn how to speak it) missed Mr Johnson’s attention, as it did his Labour colleagues.

It was however picked up by English UK, the body which represents over 440 English language schools, which took the regulation to the High Court.

Last week, Mr Justice Foskett ruled in favour of English UK, saying that the victory “was not on point of principle, but on technicality.”

The court ordered that the new restrictions needed to formally change the rules, including presenting them to parliament, rather than just altering the guidelines.

"We are pleased that Mr Justice Foskett saw the merits of our case and we believe that his decision is good for the UK economy, to which the English language sector contributes about £1.5 billion in foreign earnings each year," Tony Milns, chairman of English UK, was quoted as saying.

The British National Party’s position on foreign students was spelled out clearly in the party’s 2010 election manifesto:

“Britain is already the most densely populated nation in Europe and a BNP government would officially declare it to be a non-immigration country.

“Work permits will only be issued in exceptional circumstances, for example, when the Government determines there is a need to rebuild British industry or when there is a genuine shortage of skills. 

 “We shall permit genuine students, so long as they possess health insurance. This latter concession will also assist with our long-term policy of re-building Third World economies in order to facilitate the voluntary return of their nationals or descendants, under our long-term resettlement programme.”

BOLTON MOSQUE CHILD ABUSE INVESTIGATION STARTED

AN investigation has been launched into allegations that children have been assaulted at one of Bolton’s oldest mosques.

Police, Bolton Council and the Charity Commission are looking into a number of claims about activities at the Zakariyya Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre in Peace Street, Daubhill — all of which were last night strenuously denied by trustees.

A letter sent to the trustees by the Charity Commission, which monitors the activities of charities, has confirmed one element of the investigation “involves allegations of abuse of children”.

A second strand of the investigation follows allegations relating to the internal workings of the mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre, which was established in 1967.

These include disputes surrounding the election procedures, the voting procedures and the removal of members.

Last night, a mosque committee member said: “There have been some allegations made to certain authorities and they are making inquiries.

“We are assisting the statutory authorities with their investigation. There is total denial on our part and we do not want to say anything that may jeopardise the inquiries.”

The news broke on the day that the mosque received a Marque of Excellence from the North West Multi-Faith Tourism Association.

The committee member said: “It is a shame that someone is trying to throw the spanner in the works when we get an award like this. A lot of people work very hard here.”

The letter, which was shown to The Bolton News, states: “We have received a complaint alleging that children had been assaulted...and that the charity fails to carry out CRB checks on all of its members who have contact with the children, including members of the Executive committee.”

Officials at the mosque have confirmed that the abuse allegations are of a physical, not sexual, nature.

The Bolton News understands they relate to children who attend the Madrassah Khaliliyyah Rashadiyya, which provides religious teachings to children after school.

The Zakariyya Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre was founded in 1967, about 10 years after Muslims started settling in Bolton.

Its current building, which cost £3 million and was funded entirely by the Muslim community of Bolton, was opened in 2005.

As well as being Bolton’s biggest mosque, with a capacity for up to 3,000 worshippers, it also acts as Jaame, or regional mosque, for the Greater Manchester and Lancashire area.

Greater Manchester Police, Bolton Council and the Charity Commission have all released individual statements confirming that they were investigating the claims.

A spokesman for GMP said: “Greater Manchester Police have received reports of an allegation of assault at a mosque in Bolton. Bolton public protection and investigation unit are currently investigating the complaint. Inquiries are ongoing.”

A Charity Commission spokesman said: “Concerns have been raised with the Charity Commission regarding the Islamic Cultural Centre Zakariyya Mosque Bolton.

“We have written to the charity trustees and opened an investigation in relation to the concerns raised.”

A spokesman for Bolton Council confirmed the authority had opened a joint inquiry with police but would not comment further.

Sad Thoughts on American Independence Day 2010

Author: Dr. D At the Green Aroow and freinds

(Written July 4 2010)

As I write this, it is the afternoon of July 4th, 2020, American Independence Day once again. I have seen many such celebrations come and go, and there is a definite change that has taken place over the years.

When I was very young, the US was embroiled in WW II, and Independence Day was observed with a sort of grim determination, reminding everyone that we were at war. It was a war that had to be won, we simply could not afford to loose that war. That war was won, and the Allies began the process of rebuilding themselves and the conquered nations of the Axis as well. Almost immediately they found themselves in the Cold War, the seemingly endless battle of wits with the Soviet Union and Red China. There was the idea that communism must be physically “contained.” This led to the Korean War, and later to the Vietnamese War.

Attitudes toward support for war were changing in the US throughout this period. During WW II, as far as I can tell, there was 100% support for the war effort. I am unable to find anyone who dissented, although people tell me that there were some. They must have been very few in number. By the time of the Korean War, Americans were war weary, and it was harder to generate support. Even so, they went, and there was very little objection or lack of support. I was personally familiar with a number of young men who were sacrificed to this war.

When the Vietnam War came around, there was much less support for the war. The way that American involvement was begun was considered by many to be illegitimate, with no clear entry point, but by having Americans simply serving as field advisors to the South Vietnamese Army who gradually got the US sucked into the battle. There was much question about why America should be involved, what US interests were in this area, and just why America should be expending lives there. Particularly on college campuses, the war was rather soundly rejected, and those who supported it were ostracized for their support. It was not seen as a matter of patriotism to support the Vietnamese War, but as simply war mongering. Of course, many of those doing the ostracizing were not very clear on the concept of patriotism either.

The military draft was ended and an all volunteer military was created which was supposed to solve many problems. Perhaps it did solve some, but it meant that the military now tended to come primarily from the segments of society that were otherwise unable to get ahead in life. They did put in place some educational requirements, but they have tended to look the other way on those requirements at times when recruitments have been difficult to achieve. This has led to a surge in number of minorities and women in the military, neither of them being good for the long term effectiveness of the military. This has been the US military that operated in Desert Storm in Kuwait in the early 1990s and again now in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Throughout this whole period, American education has been under a process of transformation, beginning in the 1960s. Prior to that time, American education had been heavily fact based, focusing the attainment of necessary skills and reasoning ability, with rather tight discipline in the school classrooms. This is not to imply that students were beaten or abused, but there was no foolishness in class; school was about learning, not acting out fantasies. There was little if any concern for “social promotion.” One great advantage, however, was that there were no special needs children in the classroom; they were provided for in separate facilities.

Beginning in the 1960s and continuing today, there was a move to integrate all children into the classroom, including the most disabled and disruptive right along with the well behaved and advanced students. This was thought to be “fair,” in the sense that it taught each of the students to get along with all of the others, both brighter and not so bright as themselves. The fact that it played havoc with the learning process was just passed over lightly. There were many other innovations in the way mathematics would be taught, Marxism would be worked into the curriculum through social studies and several other places, the study of traditional English literature would be gradually discarded in favor of contemporary authors with a Marxist flavor, etc.

One particularly critical area is that of history that would be gradually re–written to completely re–invent the history of our nation. Instead of the glorious true history of a modern nation carved from the wilderness which I was taught, today’s young people are taught that the nation was well developed already by peaceful, nature–loving native peoples who were slaughtered like animals at a packing house. With regard to the native American Indians, the truth is that many were killed fighting the white man just as they had traditionally fought among themselves. They were nomadic peoples, with the exception of the pueblo Indians, and they did little or nothing to develop North America. This is why, even as late as the early 20th century, there was new land to be broken, arable land that had never been plowed. The America built by white people has provided unparalleled opportunity for all of the people of North America, including the native American Indians and the American Blacks. What is taught, however, is that America is a land of oppression for these peoples, a place where they continue to suffer. This is true, to some extent, because they have been given the opportunity and encouraged by some to develop a mentality of entitlement, rather than seize the opportunity to work and achieve. Those who have worked have done well, but those who have felt entitled do suffer because there are never enough government handouts to satisfy them.

So our history has been corrupted in the mind of our young people, and many of our young people even disavow their own history. Too many of them do not even begin to know it. One of the popular late night comics, Jay Leno, has demonstrated this in a devastating way with some public interviews shown in this video: http://tinyurl.com/28e3cto

As Leno’s video shows, the minorities do not know American history, with the exception of the older black man. But even the white people do not know it either. These people with no sense of the history of this country certainly cannot claim any real sense of ownership of the country. It seems likely that this is why they have no objection to the vast hoards of illegal aliens streaming across the southern boarder. For these people, those aliens are not taking anything that belongs to them. These people do not see that they have a stake in America. America has never really belonged to these people at all.

Being much older, I do not see it in that way. I know where my family started out in the western Carolinas in the late 1700s, worked their way across Tennessee and Alabama in the early 1800s, and eventually wound up in south Texas by the time the Civil War ended. I know that my great–grandfather was a Superintendent on the King Ranch in south Texas and I know where my grandfather farmed and worked for the railroad. I have tried to pass this sense of ownership on to my children, the idea that we are Americans because our people came to this land and helped to build it into what it is today. Our blood is in this soil, and our bones will be in it some day soon. This is our land; it belongs to no one else.

The evidence seems to be that we are losing this land simply because we have not passed on the idea that it is ours. We have not taught the true history of America, but have allowed a pack of lies to be taught instead. We have not instilled a sense of ownership in our people, an understanding that it is up to each and every one of us to maintain this country. Our people think of the country as belonging to “them” and that everything is controlled by “them.” They fail to realize that “them” is actually “us,” that we the people are the ones who control this country. So they have no sense of ownership, so sense of wanting to protect what is their own. This country belongs to “them.” If we cannot turn this around, we have lost the battle.

New Video: The Colonisation of Birmingham UPDATED

New Video: The Colonisation of Birmingham UPDATED: Radio RWB Interview with Roger Phillips

Wed, 07/07/2010 - 21:26 |  BNP News

A dramatic new video from the innovative South Wales BNP team under super activist Roger Phillips have produced yet another video illustrating the colonisation of Britain – this time in Birmingham – which promises to be as big a YouTube hit as their other “Wembley” video last year.

The 8 minute video shows how Muslims have colonised vast areas of Birmingham, ethnically cleansed British people from the streets, built mosques, turned schools into Islamic centres and have even started painting “Free Palestine” murals on the walls.

This video is the first documented evidence of how decades of Tory and Labour rule has allowed the British people to be usurped in their own land.

Watch this video, see what is being done to Britain and then join the fight back by supporting, joining or becoming active in the British National Party.

British People Put Last: Billions for EU, Immigration, Asylum, Foreign Aid and Foreign Wars, but 40,000 NHS Jobs to Go

British People Put Last: Billions for the EU, Immigration, Asylum, Foreign Aid and Foreign Wars, but 40,000 NHS Jobs to Go

 BNP News

The thoroughly anti-British priorities of the ConDem regime have been revealed once again with the news that “budget cuts” threaten up to 10,000 front-line jobs in the NHS, while billions are spent on EU membership, immigration, asylum, foreign aid and foreign wars.

The job cuts, predicted in a new Royal College of Nursing (RCN) report, will result from the £20 billion “efficiency savings” ordered in the NHS by the ConDemners.

These job losses are best put into perspective by comparing the £20 billion “efficiency savings” to other outlays actively endorsed by the ConDem regime: £60.1 billion for EU costs each year; £13 billion immigration costs each year; £7 billion in asylum costs each year; £9 billion in foreign aid each year; and £5 billion for the Afghanistan war each year.

The Tories promised to “ring fence” health spending, but in true Conservative fashion have deviously told the NHS to find the “efficiency savings” which it claimed would not affect front-line services.

However, in a survey of 100 NHS Trusts, the RCN showed that these “efficiency savings” would place 10,000 jobs under threat.

If the same “savings” are implemented across all 400 primary care trusts, ambulance services and hospitals in England, then as many as 40,000 jobs will go.

The RCN report went on to warn that front-line staff such as doctors and nurses will almost certainly be targeted, along with managers and bureaucrats.

“The Government has promised to ring-fence the NHS from its savage public service cuts, with ministers insisting that front-line staff and patient care will be protected,” Dr Peter Carter, RCN general secretary, said in the report.

“But while the NHS budget continues to increase, Whitehall has also ordered health trusts to make £20 billion of ‘efficiency savings’ by 2014 — which means delivering the same services for less money,” he said.

Many NHS trusts have already started programmes of compulsory redundancies aimed at front-line medical staff.

According to the RCN, some NHS trusts have recruitment freezes or are not replacing those who leave or retire. This is, in effect, a shrinking of staff numbers in the face of ever increasing demand for services.

“We are realistic about the need to find financial savings in the NHS but our figures expose the myth that front-line services will be protected as NHS bodies begin their drive to create huge efficiencies,” Dr Carter said.

“Local NHS organisations appear to be adopting a slash-and-burn approach to jobs which is shocking and will have a disastrous effect not only on the quality of care provided but also on the range of treatments that are available.

“Logic would suggest that as nurses make up the greatest part of the workforce they will be at risk. I don't feel confident that these arbitrary cuts are going to help.”

* Another report has revealed that NHS Trusts will also be hit for an extra £250 million in VAT as a result of the January 2011 rise in VAT rates to 20 percent.

The VAT burden will take away money from the NHS which could otherwise fund 31,250 heart by-pass operations, 1.25 million CT scans or 100 million hospital meals, the report said.

Nick Griffin MEP Recommends Geert Wilders for Sakharov Prize

Nick Griffin Recommends Geert Wilders for Sakharov Prize

  BNP News room

British National Party leader and MEP Nick Griffin announced this morning in the European Parliament that he wished to nominate brave Dutch MEP Geert Wilders for the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought.

The award, in honour of the Soviet scientist and dissident Andrei Sakharov, was established in 1988 by the European Parliament as a means to honour individuals or organisations who had dedicated their lives to the defence of human rights and freedoms.

Mr Griffin nominated Mr Wilders for “his tireless commitment to freedom of speech and his continuous struggle against islamisation, mass-immigration and the leftish attacks on Western Humanist Judeo-Christian values that destroy Europe from within.

“All of this notwithstanding the fact that the Dutch judiciary wants to prosecute him for his brave work,” Mr Griffin said.

Referring to the current attempts to prosecute Mr Wilders in his native Holland, Mr Griffin quoted another MEP who said it was a disgrace that in a European country, a man is being prosecuted for defending such a fundamental right as the freedom of speech.

“Geert Wilders, for many a symbol in the fight against those who want to constrain the freedom of speech, is now is being prosecuted by the Dutch judiciary.

“While our society is changing because of the Islamisation and mass-immigration the Dutch judiciary decided to go after a democratically elected representative for the use of his right of free speech,” Mr Griffin continued.

“The European Parliament should give a signal, by awarding Geert Wilders the Sakharov Prize 2010 that it will not tolerate such monstrous attacks on freedom of speech and the right for any citizen to defend the values that are the historical and undeniable cornerstones of the society they live in.

“Geert Wilders does not give up, even though he is continuously under attack by those who still believe in the multicultural dream and anyone who believes that the barbaric Islam is a contribution to Western society.

“His bravery to stand up and criticize Islam has resulted in him getting numerous dead threats and prosecution by the Dutch and the Jordan judiciary.

“Geert Wilders has been refused entrance to Indonesia as well as to the Turkish Parliament. He also has to live under protection twenty-four hours a day.

“If we will not stand up we will risk losing everything, our identity, our culture and our Democratic Constitutions. And after we have lost all of them, we will lose our freedom, a man who lost his freedom has lost everything,” Mr Griffin said.

Mr Wilders’s Freedom Party (PVV) won 24 seats in the Dutch parliament, only seven behind the conservatives.

His film Fitna has been viewed by more than 10 million people worldwide and points out the dangers of Islamisation of Western countries and the Netherlands in particular.

Homosexual Asylum Ruling Will Open Invasion Gates to UK Even Further

Fundamentally Flawed Homosexual Asylum Ruling Will Open Invasion Gates Even Further

  BNP News

The fundamentally flawed ruling by the Supreme Court that homosexuals have the right to asylum in Britain will “lead to a potentially massive expansion of asylum claims as it could apply to literally millions of people around the world,” Migratiowatch chairman Sir Andrew Green has warned.

Commenting on the ruling that two men, one from Iran and another from the Cameroon, have had their appeals against deportation upheld on the grounds that they might be persecuted if they were sent home, Sir Andrew said that an “applicant has now only to show that he (or she) is homosexual and intends to return and live openly in one of the many countries where it is illegal to be granted asylum in the UK.”

In reality, this ruling means that an “asylum seeker” from anywhere in the world where anti-homosexual sentiment runs high, now has the right to refuge in Britain.

When the Netherlands introduced a similar rule, it found that thousands and thousands of “asylum seekers” discovered they were homosexual after all.

Even asylum seekers in heterosexual relationships with children in the Netherlands suddenly claimed to be have become homosexual. Disproving such a claim is, simply put, impossible. How does an asylum judge “prove” otherwise? How does one prove a homosexual relationship?

Not surprisingly, Tory Home Secretary Theresa May welcomed the Supreme Court ruling saying it was in line with her Government’s pledge not to deport asylum seekers who had fled their countries because their sexuality put them at “proven risk.”

During the election campaign, David Cameron had specifically made a pledge that homosexual asylum seekers from Africa would be encouraged to seek refuge in Britain.

Mar Cameron’s remarks, made in an interview with a prominent homosexual newspaper, were described as a “car crash interview” by the Tory press at the time.

It appears however, that Mr Cameron was not joking, as the new court ruling has shown.

The court ruled that homosexuals have the right of refuge in terms of the 1951 UN Convention on the Status of Refugees, which says that members of a social group are entitled to asylum if they can show they have a well- founded fear of persecution at home.

There is only one answer to this ongoing madness, and that is to declare Britain a non-asylum country.

Job Crisis Faces Young British People as Job Market Shrinks

Crisis Faces Young British People as Job Market Shrinks

  BNP News

The economic catastrophe generated by decades of incompetent Tory and Labour rule has come home to roost with a vengeance upon Britain’s young people as the economy and job market shrinks to near record lows.

According to a poll of employers published by the Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR), the number of applications for each vacancy has surged to nearly 70 while the number of available positions is set to fall by 7 percent.

This makes it nearly impossible for graduates to get any sort of employment in modern Britain and has created an entire generation of unemployed, all in the name of globalisation and “world markets.”

The AGR polled over 200 firms including Cadbury, Marks & Spencer, JP Morgan and Vodafone and found the number of applications per vacancy had risen to 68.8 this year, the highest number yet.

In the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector, there were a record 205 applications for each available work position.

Carl Gilleard, the association's chief executive, remarked in a newspaper that “any employment is better than no employment [even] if it's about flipping burgers or stacking shelves rather than being sat at home feeling sorry for yourself and vegetating.”

The core reason for the crisis is that Britain’s economy has been built on a foundation of unsustainable rising debt and record trade deficits.

The British National Party wrote in its manifesto at length on the cause of the problem, stating that the “Lab/Lib/Con alliance long ago abandoned any attempt to run the British economy for the benefit of the nation and have surrendered it to the dead hand of EU regulation and a rootless, amorphous globalist philosophy.

“Inept governments, trades union militancy during the ‘60s and ‘70s and the increasing momentum of globalisation have combined to wreak extraordinary damage to the British economy, our industry and technology.”

The only long-term answer to unemployment is not to put increasing numbers of people onto the dole queue (the Lib-Lab-Con’s policy, but which is ultimately financially unsustainable) but rather to boost the manufacturing, scientific and industrial sectors of the British economy.

The demand for skilled workers will only increase once those sectors, destroyed by Tory-Labour greed and ignorance, are back on their feet.

“Britain, which was once a world leader in many technological and scientific fields, has had entire industrial sectors of our economy extirpated,” the BNP manifesto continues.

“Factories, long closed or transferred overseas, cannot be re-opened when vital technical skills have been lost. 'White flight’ or indigenous emigration, estimated to be in the region of half a million per year, has meant the loss of many of our skilled technical workers.

“Any policy designed to repair this damage will take many years to complete and must involve governmental restructuring of both the educational system and the economy.

“The tiger states of East Asia, such as Japan, South Korea and Singapore, operate their economies and industries in the national interest and that is the economic model which Britain should emulate,” the BNP manifesto says.

“Official figures show that our country lacks engineers and scientists, a sad indictment on a nation that has produced approximately 50 percent of the world’s inventions.

“These and other skills, which have been permitted to decline, will be invigorated under a BNP government. We shall offer generous subsidies to students — both in terms of their coursework and accommodation — who embark upon such study.

“Only in this way can new industries, skills and inventions be created upon which the manufacturing, engineering and scientific base of our nation can be reinvigorated.

“We shall also increase funding to the research, scientific and technological departments of our universities, tripling it in the first two years and progressively raising this investment as results accrue.”

"Being an American is not a matter of blood or birth; it's a matter of faith." Says Barak Obama

by Sarah Maid of Albion

 Defined for convenience

In a speech which Barak Obama made last week, he, the president of America, defined being American as follows. "Being an American" he said "is not a matter of blood or birth; it's a matter of faith."

Given the questions which have still not been answered regarding the president's claim to be a "natural born American" and thus eligible to hold the position of US president, one is tempted to say that is a very convenient definition. The implication being the American people should believe that Obama is eligible to serve as their president not on the basis of proof of eligibility but on the basis of faith, which is another word for a belief which does not rest on logical proof or material evidence.

Belief that "the one" was born in Hawaii because he says so, and belief that a "Certification of Live Birth" is the same thing as a birth certificate because he says it is.

However, Obama's definition of American is even more convenient, and flexible, than that, it is not only the definition which enables him to claim he is eligible for the job be holds, but it is one which, if he is very lucky and very devious, may just enable him to stay in the job.

What Obama was talking about, of course, were the millions of illegal immigrants currently in America, the illegal immigrants he disingenuously continues to claim amount to only 11 million but who's numbers most analysts place closer to 40 million, and those same illegal immigrants who offer Obama his only possible chance of being reelected in 2012.

In less than two years the president has lost the support of the whites who fell for his undefined message of hope and change (you can "believe" in) in 2008, and although, as the recent election of Alivin Greene in South Carolina proves, black voters will vote for a black candidate irrespective of merit, there are not yet enough legal non-white voters in America to guarantee an abject presidential failure a second term in office. That is why Obama, and the Democrats, need the illegal ones, who are statistically far more likely to vote Democrat.

This is why, unless the current US administration has hit upon some other means of circumventing democracy, there will almost certainly be an attempt at an amnesty, otherwise known as "comprehensive immigration reform" within the next two years, possibly before the crucial mid-term elections this coming November.

Some believe that the president may even attempt to pardon millions of illegal aliens by Executive order, thus granting them citizenship, and more importantly, voting rights.

Whatever means is attempted, if the current incumbent of the White House has his way, before the US presidential elections in 2012, tens of millions of illegal aliens will become Americans on the basis of faith, Barak Obama's faith that he has a right to the job he is so self evidently unqualified for.

The Destruction of Britain's Language Culture and the Tower of Babel of the UK Today

The Destruction of Britain's Culture and the Tower of Babel

  BNP News

Immigration has turned many of Britain’s schools into veritable Towers of Babel and one Birmingham school has been forced to acquire special computer translation software to communicate with its flood of immigrant non-English speaking pupils.

A report just out has revealed that 60 percent of pupils at Manor Park Primary School in Aston, Birmingham, now communicate with teachers using the software.

According to a news report, headteacher Jason Smith said the technology “was invaluable. It is the sort of tool that we can use to engage with children who have recently arrived in the country and have very little spoken English.

“It can vary, but at any one time we have 30 plus languages being spoken at the school, so this is invaluable to us,” Mr Smith gushed.

“Last week we enrolled a pupil from Gambia who could only speak a tribal language, so we checked online to see if we had something that closely matched it.

“We found the closest match and both the child and their parent could understand us.”

Apparently the programme allows pupils to type questions into the computer using their “native language” which is then translated verbally into English for the teacher.

The process is then reversed to enable the teacher to “speak” back to the pupil.

Astonishingly, the software comes with on-screen avatars (individual user logos) which are themed around the racial appearance of the pupils.

The avatars include an “Asian man” and a “black African man,” according to reports.

They do not say if it is possible to have an avatar of a “white African man” or of a “white Asian man” because, of course, no such things exist, even though the reverse ethnic description (“black British” or “Asian British”) is always used.

Other avatars which are being prepared include one of a Chinese woman and a Burka-wearing Muslim.

In February this year, the Birmingham City Council announced that non-British pupils now outnumber white children in the city’s primary schools.

According to the report, only 39 percent of primary school kids are of a white British origin.

The latest figures from the Department for Education show 905,610 children in the UK do not speak English as their first language, a rise of 42,750 since last year.

Whites were already a minority in London schools in 2007, according to a report issued by the Department for Children, Schools and Families in that year.

In Tower Hamlets, 15 percent of primary school pupils were classed as white British, while 63 percent come from Bangladeshi families.

In Newham, just under 12 percent of primary pupils are white British, while the figure in Brent's secondaries is seven percent, compared with 36 percent who are classed as Asian, and 24 percent black.

Outside London, areas with the highest concentrations of ethnic minority pupils included Bradford, where 53 percent of the primary school children are classed as white British.

In Blackburn and Manchester, less than 60 percent of primary pupils were white British.

In Leicester, 41 percent were white British, compared with 38 percent of primary pupils who were Asian.

Britain is staggering under a Third World immigration invasion which, left unchecked, will see the extinction of British culture and the ethnic cleansing of British people from their ancient homeland.
