A message to Iran and its people

A message to Iran and its people

by Noctis Draven

 I would like to speak to the people of Iran. What is happening right now is not the will of the American people, the American people are simply trying to live and survive and overwhelmingly most don't know a thing about Iran.

Americans get no vote, no say, no choice in who we attack or aid in attacking. We simply wake up one morning and see on the news we are at war, we get zero choice. Americans who do consider themselves politically involved are highly indoctrinated and brainwashed by mainstream media and social media commentators whom are fiercely owned by and loyal to Israel. A lot of words to say that what is happening to you is the will of Israel and caused by the ignorance of Americans. American politicians as you are aware are incredibly compromised by Israel through various methods. They are paid and owned by AIPAC, they are blackmailed by Mossad and many were compromised by the agent of Mossad Epstein. Many of our politicians are compromised by their sexual desires for children. Between typical greed for money, power and their being blackmailed by Israel, our politicians have and continue to walk, vote and act in lockstep with Israel . The American people are largely unaware of this and a smaller few belive in archaic religious fabrication that Israel is a land of chosen people. Again, many words to say that America is full of largely uninformed and incredibly ignorant people. I don't expect this to hold much weight, if I was in your position I probably would paint all Americans the same also, as evil and evil by inaction and ignorance. Many of us are waking up, we understand that Iran is not our enemy, we understand that Iran is being provoked and unfortunately we have no leadership to keep Israel in check. I want to make it clear that the American people do not see you as an enemy. 80% of Americans could not find Iran on a map and the rest of us are held hostage by the elites and politicians owned by Israel. Some of us are trying desperately to wake others up to who the true problem is. Should retaliation place American troops in your path be it in the region or those who may arrive I hope you take this into consideration, that these are incredibly ignorant and brainwashed people. I don't want your people to die and I don't want my people to die. I hope the people of Iran and your military can understand that we are trying desperately to wake our people up as to whom OUR mutual enemy is and that is Israel. I wish you safety and victory and I ask you to do something that I know even my own people would not do. Do not take your very justified anger for Israel out on Americans. Israel understands what they are doing, there is no excuse for them. But my people have no understanding of what is going on, they are just there truly believing they are protecting America somehow a world away. I guess in short what I am asking is for you to be better and wiser than us. God bless you Iran, and God grant you strength, you truly show the world what civility is in the face of barbarism.

America - When illegals refuse to leave . A warning to the UK

 

Pope Leo XIII—Rerum Novarum More Relevant Today Than Ever

“Hence, it is clear that the main tenet of socialism—community of goods—must be utterly rejected, since it only injures those whom it would seem meant to benefit, is directly contrary to the natural rights of mankind, and would introduce confusion and disorder into the commonweal.” Rerum Novarum—literally meaning “Of New Things,” but more accurately translated, “Of Revolutionary Change,”—was Pope Leo XIII’s response to the political upheaval of the 19th century. Issued on May 15, 1891, Rerum Novarum set forth a definitive word on these “new things” and laid the groundwork for further development of the Church’s social teaching throughout the 20th century. Today, Rerum Novarum is considered a foundational text of Catholic social doctrine. Covering everything from property rights to trade unions, from questions of wages to those of the relationship of man to the State, Rerum Novarum is a sweeping document at once comprehensive and accessible. There’s no need to be a political philosopher or economist here. Leo XIII develops his arguments in a methodical and straightforward way, stating plainly that human society can be healed in no other way than in a return to Christian life and Christian institutions.

Equality & Diversity; Enoch Powell’s ‘whip hand’ prophecy made reality

                       Equality & Diversity; Enoch Powell’s 

                        ‘whip hand’ prophecy made reality

 Written by Lecturer2
A Nationalist Teachers Perspective.

It has been clear for some time that the horrors of multiculturalism are being injected like a narcotic into every aspect of our British society. A debilitating drug that is very much as dangerous as heroin, but state induced.
The majority of this article is set around a compulsory training session arranged by a college in the West of England.
Rather than having the governments desired effect, most staff regarded it as a warning as to just how much danger Britain is in from this frankly criminal piece of legislation.
Imagine if you will; A lecture theatre with around 150 plus white middle class lecturers being read the riot act by a Mr Mohammed Patel, a small bespectacled Muslim man complete with uniform beard, verifying the fact that E&D can only be administered by someone of an ethnic background. This is Enoch Powells ‘whip hand over the white man’ in action. It’s here already. Ethnic minorities now have dominion over us.
Mr Mohammed Patel is the head of equality and diversity at Petroc College Devon and from there spreads his vile racism. He was quick to refer to the Public Sector Equality Duty – PSED Race Relations act amendment 2001, that instructs teachers that they have a Promotional duty to enforce E&D, in his own words; “as you have been getting away with murder”!

And of course while this man was talking about murder the subject of Steven Lawrence raised its well worn head and was talked about at length, but with no mention of the vile racist attacks that are committed on the Indigenous white British community which occur on an almost daily basis. No margin given to the fact that racism in this country cuts both ways and it is actually more prevalent against white people than the ethnic minorities. He believes that it never happens the other way round. The truth is most of us are too scared to even look at the enrichers these days.

Mr Patel never said it, but his intention was clear to us. It is you white people in your comfy little Cotswold towns that are racists. Racist, because white majorities haven’t actively gone out and dragged ethnic minorities into Gloucestershire, to make it less ‘hideously white’ to quote one Labour MP.

He then talked enthusiastically about the coming power shift and cited Leicester as a GOOD example of how ‘we’ would like to see the United Kingdom in the very near future. Do we want that?

At the opening of the Christmas market in Morton in Marsh there was a stand for the local scouting group. A banner advertising scouting had three Muslim girls complete with hijab head scarves showed how the scouting organisation of Great Britain now sees itself. Morton in Marsh is a quaint little Cotswold market town with a 99.9% white majority. It’s not down town Mumbai, its not Leicester, Birmingham or even Coventry, but this is the way that these organisations are being forced to present themselves even if it is not representative of the population it is appealing to.

Leicester has fallen, 51/52% of people there are not of Indigenous British origin, more if you include other European countries. London is falling, Birmingham is falling and other towns and cities are not far behind.

It wasn’t long before the E&D man couldn’t resist having a knock at Enoch Powell. He referred to Powell’s inspired piece of oratory as Enoch Powell’s “infamous’ speech”, He said; “Powell was generalising, so take it with a pinch of salt”.

Enoch Powell’s speech was a warning that has come true a hundred fold in the light of the race riots last August. If it was a generalisation, it is now a statement of fact!

Mr Patel made a series of statements in his lecture to support Equality and Diversity in the classroom to which all teachers must adhere to, and they are important and need to be analysed individually:

1) Advised us to ‘enjoy’ rather than ‘celebrate’ diversity.

No one would doubt that a certain amount of taking in of other cultures is in fact a healthy thing to engage in. After all the British Empire was built on the study and enjoyment of the cultures of the countries lucky enough to be part of the worlds largest and most prestigious Empire in human history (the liberal elite are hopelessly embarrassed by the Empire and wish to make amends by destroying all vestiges of pride in it).
But like all healthy enjoyment it should be at the behest of the individual to make up their mind as to who, what, when and where the individual studies or enjoys other cultures. It is not and should not be a mandatory requirement to show that you have purposefully entered into the study and absorbed other cultures as a matter of law. If there is one culture in this country that it should be law to study then it should be British culture.
We are at a crossroads where we have put the study of Indian, Chinese and Muslim cultures before our own. And when British history is taught it is always taught from the angle that the British culture could not have done it or even survived without the support of a tiny number of none British people.
For example; at the RAF museum at Cosford there are now information boards promoting the achievements of non British indigenous people involved in the Second World War, but the way this is displayed gives an incorrect impression that ethnic minorities had a more important role than the native British majority.
Their treacherous aim is to teach our children that we were not the great nation that we once undoubtedly were, and are, and will be again. Their aim is to blatantly tell lies and to rewrite history in the same abominable way Hollywood does.
2) Mr Patel said; Catalyst was Race driven and plays the pivotal role.
The question has to be asked why? Why race driven? Surely equality and diversity is about inclusion, which is about everyone, all people. Disabled people, old people, young people, poor people, rich people all pulling on an equal rope.

But it’s not equality and inclusion, its equality and DIVERSITY!

The diversity of race, and sexual orientation which is the agenda of its champions who are largely the criminals in Westminster. It is easy to accuse patriots of being racists, when it is the leftist liberals who are forcing us down a blind alley that are the real racists.
Racists who claim quite legally that there is ‘no such thing as an indigenous British people’ when they know that there has been an indigenous people here for thousands of years.

3) The white British are failing ethnic groups.

The only time the British nation failed ethnic groups is when we embarked on two World Wars that did not need to be fought, thus bankrupting the nation and forcing us to withdraw from our colonies. That is our failing.

The fact that we were neither asked or indeed wanted mass immigration does not mean that even if they are here now do we owe them any special consideration. Assimilate! Come and join in with our game or go away! That’s real equality.

4) Equality & Diversity is as important as health and safety

This is such an unintelligent remark to make to anyone let alone academics especially when it is said by an alleged academic. Making sure Abdul feels like he’s got as much or more chance as James is not as important as making sure Abdul and James don’t get their heads cut off in some industrial accident!

Leave it to the bleeding heart liberals and it won’t be an industrial accident that cuts James' head off!

5) The Koran does not preach killing, (except where it preaches killing!)

Interesting that Mr Patel had to single out his religion as not being intolerant, when he had equal opportunity to talk about Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism and Christianity. Christianity has had its moments in the past; however this is not the past. Its today! Christianity has moved on, developed, become liberal; too liberal. Islam remains the same. The same incarnation of 1300 years ago, with the same aims and objectives: ‘Kill the infidel’.

6) Educate by guilt trips.

Children are now being monitored for anything that could be construed as a racist remark;-it has to be recorded and so a profile is built up on this child which is branded a ‘risk’ to the multicultural state project. But of course it doesn’t stop there as it must be factored in that this so called dangerous thinking must be coming from somewhere, so the parents and family are also put under suspicion.
This is Stasi state oppression. Challenging the utterance of so called ‘inappropriate language’ is one thing, but this monitoring of private conversations at home so the dossiers of suspected unbelievers grow and grow until enough evidence for ‘gagging’ is collected.

All parents should now as a matter of course question their children as to what they have been doing at school and what their teachers have been asking them. Those who are familiar with the work of Brian Gerrish will be aware of the worrying trends in education and the potentially lethal use of NLP in schools, so that they as parents can act to undo some of the brain washing that is going on.

7) Peoples behaviour is down to good teaching of parents!

This statement claims that the current parental generation were incorrectly educated, that we need re-educating; corrective education. Like the corrective institutions set up by the Communists to re-educate wrong thinkers that did not appreciate what the party was doing for them.

8) Minorities first – majority second.

This was reminiscent of the pol pot regime and the ‘tall poppy syndrome; One poppy is standing taller than the rest, so you ‘snip’ it down so all are the same.
We must all suffer for the welfare of the ethnic minorities that are flooding our shores, because the liberal elite insist that we are responsible for their plight and that our old people must freeze this winter so that they can be warm. It is the liberal elite that are responsible for it, for they have created this problem. The ‘so called’ wars of regime change and introduction of ‘their’ kind of capitalist democracy have been responsible for killing more civilians in the name of ‘saving civilians from being killed by they own government’. Thus a conflict that has had nothing to do with us, has been made ten times worse, by the elite and made the inevitable migration of refugees from the conflict even greater.
9) We are not being flooded by immigrants.
Anyone can see with their own eyes if they wish to see that our towns and cities have changed beyond recognition. Standing in the centre of Banbury you will struggle to hear English being spoken, and this is the same in every major conurbation. It is clear that teachers are required to swallow all that they are fed. A lie is a lie.
10) Political correctness fault of, and driven by media; all negativity of PC stories are fabrications, everything is alright’
The fact of the matter is this:It’s actually much worse that the ridiculous stories peddled by the leftist state controlled media. The stories that are let through are often doctored complete fabrications to give an idea that the government is aware of the situation and engaged in combating it, or on the other hand take any credence from patriotic organisations. I refer to Jack Straws unbelievable admission to the fact that Muslim paedophile gangs are operating almost freely in the UK. And Cameron’s recent statement that immigration is bad for this country. We know! We’ve been saying this for years, but if a patriot publicly states this then the government will try to imprison him for it.
The Straw’s and the Cameron’s didn’t mean it, they never mean it and will never, ever do anything about it, but to be seen and heard to speak out against it means the man on the street will think it’s being tackled and nationalism's message is now defunct and pointless. Make no mistake, the Lliblabcon don’t care about the British people. The globalists of the Liblabcon think that Britain is a puddle they can just step out of. That the British people are cheap, they are a commodity to be exploited, in just the same way they think the economic migrants are. However they have underestimated the long term goals of the growing Islamic population. Jim Dowson’s iron law of repopulation sits uncomfortably with us all.
11) E&D should be a moral exultation rather than legal obligation.
Teachers are expected to feel guilty again. What about the moral obligation to your own people, our people who have never, ever been asked whether we wanted mass immigration and our neighbourhoods, cities, towns and soon our villages and countryside changed beyond all recognition into third world shanty towns.
12) Mr Patel has been given a large budget to promote gypsies alone.

Mohammed Patel gives no quarter to the financial preservation of green belt that is now under attack from gypsy colonisation groups that use legal aid financed by our taxes to cut around and find loop holes, or even cheat the system to build ugly and unhygienic shanty towns in the Cotswold's and other areas of protected natural beauty. But no local authority dares take them on because the law, government and liberal apologists are on the side of the criminal Gypsies gangs that rip off and intimidate decent and law abiding citizens. Criminal, you know it, the states, knows it and of course they know it. But there is nothing the people can do about it. New Labour brought in around ten E&D laws in their death throws in 2010, purely aimed at gagging the majority.
13) Ethnic groups should not go to you, YOU should go to them.
If they wanted to join our society then join it they must. Our society and land do not need enriching by them and especially their cultures. They need, and should be enriched by us and our society. Any person whether ethnic minority, immigrant, of European decent, French, German etc, white or even indigenous British who does not like the way this country is or looks, or conducts itself can leave.
These are the sort of policies that are being imposed in our educational institutions, but it gets worse.

Limiting grade if schools and colleges do not satisfy E&D for OFSTED.
There is the case of an art teacher being given feed back after an OFSTED class inspection. A life drawing class was judged to be outstanding, but would only be given a grade three (‘one’ being best and ‘four’ being fail) because the observer regarded the attention to E&D as ‘purely tokenistic’. The teacher replied that it was purely tokenistic, as how on earth does one get Equality and diversity into drawing a piece of fruit!
The truth of this maybe that this inspector doesn’t believe in E&D anymore than any decent man on the street, however the fact is that this inspector along with every other decent teacher in this land knows that if they put a foot wrong with this, then there will be a ‘tremor in the web’, their careers could well be on the line and they are scared.
Scared, to be marked with Trevor Phillips red hot racist branding iron and be cast into the pit with rest of the decent British work force.
Scared, to stand and stand apart and say; ‘I do not agree with this’! They cannot speak out against a state that is built on the fear of being cast out of society as an evil patriot. Patriots are all too aware of these chains that bind them more and more, but the job they have to do is relay this to other people who are ignorant or choose to ignore the dangers. The treatment of Emma West, the ‘Tram Lady’ (no matter what you think of her as a person) by the police state and the state controlled media is just one of the recent examples of the results of speaking up for yourself. She was thrown into prison for expressing her views while at the same time a group of violent Muslim racists who nearly kicked a white girl to death while shouting ‘kill the white slag’ walked free.
Equality and diversity and the ‘so called’ human rights act will in time rob the British people not only of their right to the freedom of expression, but the entirety of their identity.

It goes without saying that to be a nationalist in working education at this point in history is becoming intolerable. How much longer a patriotic and Christian set of ethic’s and morals will allow real teachers to continue working with whining liberals who want to brainwash children with Marxist ideals containing national, patriotic, religious and family hatred. Each day becomes more and more complex for our teachers with more and more propaganda and policies to implement with ideals that they just do not believe in and find morally repugnant

Reform . Where is the Proper Mass Deportation Policy?

In a Recent Tweet on X . MP Rupert Lowe has called for Refom and Nigel Fartarge to explain where is the depeortation Policy the British Public demand from a Government. He stated as follows.

  On the 24th of April, Farage stated at a big press conference in Dover that in ‘three to four weeks time’ the detailed deportation policy would be released. On April 26th, Yusuf posted ‘The full policy document and detailed plan will be published next month.’

May gone, no sign of any detailed policy. Where is it? Where is the proper mass deportation policy? 1,200 crossed yesterday. This is URGENT. Stop messing around with insane policies to expand the welfare state, and produce a detailed plan on the illegals. In April, they relented following overwhelming deportation pressure exerted by the ‘online right’ and thousands of Reform members. They scrambled to hold this conference to push back the tide. It worked, partly. But when you say something, you have to deliver - at least that’s how I like to operate. They have not delivered. Again. They’re just hoping this goes away. People will forget, and members will forget. If you are a supporter, email them. They made you a pledge - ask why they haven’t delivered? Hold them to account. The Reform leadership does not want mass deportations of illegal migrants. Farage labelled my deportation calls a ‘a very grave, dark and dangerous use of language.’ I was censored at a Reform event for wanting to use the term ‘mass deportation’. Just look at the language they constantly deploy - deporting those who ‘come’ illegally. Future tense. That is weak. That is not good enough. One sniff of the Westminster upholstery and Farage has gone soft. As we know, they ALL must go. Every single illegal migrant must be deported. That HAS to be the ultimate objective. Just like with Reform’s promised rape gang inquiry in January, they will take the headlines but fail to deliver. I am yet to see an apology from Farage on that? To be involved in a political party that would so brazenly go back on such an important pledge makes my skin crawl. Again, for my small role in that - I am sorry. It’s filthy politics. We’ve had broken promises from political parties for decades. This informative video from ‘Brewgaloo’ finely demonstrates how Reform has really come of age as a Westminster political force - they are now part of that same stinking club. Reform doesn’t want to smash the establishment, it wants to be the establishment. Say one thing for votes, then go quiet. All sounds awfully familiar, doesn’t it? They have no intention of deporting on the scale required, because they’re scared of the unpleasant Guardian headlines that would inevitably follow the publication of any real detail. It can be done. It has been done. Alongside the Centre for Migration Control, we put together an eleven page deportation roadmap that details the process, and would eventually save ten billion pounds a year. Yusuf and Farage should take a look, although I have to warn them some of the themes explored may be a little spicy for their liking. We need a credible political party that is committed to the mass deportation of illegal migrants. Not some, not most, not just those arriving. But all. If that’s one, two, or three million? It does not matter. I will ensure that the British people have that option. More news to come on that very soon… But we must be clear - they all must go. All illegal migrants must go. It is a desperate shame that the Reform leadership does not agree.

On the 24th of April, Farage stated at a big press conference in Dover that in ‘three to four weeks time’ the detailed deportation policy would be released. On April 26th, Yusuf posted ‘The full policy document and detailed plan will be published next month.’

Police record Enoch Powell portrait in shop window as ‘non-crime hate incident’

 Who could have predicted that subjective, perception-based hate speech laws would end up being weaponised by activists against perfectly lawful political expression?

That’s precisely what appears to have happened in a case recently reported by The Telegraph, in which West Mercia Police logged a portrait of Enoch Powell — displayed in the window of a village shop — as a non-crime hate incident (NCHI).

Powell, a classical scholar and Conservative MP, served as Minister of Health in the 1960s and was a prominent figure on the right of the party. He later sat as an Ulster Unionist in Northern Ireland. As a politician, he oversaw a major expansion of hospital building, introduced reforms to medical staffing, and was widely regarded as a formidable orator and intellectual. Today, however, he is best known — and remains deeply controversial among proponents of the political project of multiculturalism — for his 1968 “Rivers of Blood” speech, which warned of the social consequences of mass immigration.

The portrait had been placed in the shopfront by Elizabeth Griffiths, a grandmother and Reform UK campaigner, who says the display was intended “to promote powerful leaders.” Alongside Powell were images of Jesus Christ, Francis of Assisi, Donald Trump, and even Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer — who, in a recent speech, looked ahead and was filled with foreboding; like the Roman, he seemed to see Britain becoming an “island of strangers” thanks to decades of uncontrolled mass immigration.

According to the College of Policing, the threshold for recording an NCHI is that someone has taken subjective offence to something perfectly lawful that someone else has said or posted online, whether it’s directed at them or not.

Police figures for 30 of the 43 forces in England and Wales, obtained by the Free Speech Union through Freedom of Information (FoI) laws, show that the number of NCHIs recorded in the year to June 2023 stood at 11,690. That’s an average of 32 a day. Little wonder, then, that the police don’t have time to send an officer round to your house if you report a burglary. (Between 2015 and 2021, 964,197 domestic burglary investigations ended without a suspect being identified.)

Although West Mercia Police has now confirmed that “inquiries are ongoing,” Mrs Griffiths says she has received “absolutely no police contact whatsoever” and has not been spoken to by officers about the alleged incident.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time West Mercia Police has made headlines for overreaching on so-called hate incidents. Last year, the force recorded a NCHI against Conservative MP Rachel Maclean — then the Party’s Deputy Chair for Women — after she reposted a tweet criticising the Green Party for selecting a transgender candidate. With support from the FSU, Ms Maclean challenged the decision, and West Mercia ultimately conceded, agreeing to delete the record in full.

Speaking to The Telegraph about her experience, Mrs Griffiths said she believes the report was politically motivated. “It’s a vendetta,” she said, citing her recent campaign activity for Reform UK in the local elections. “I’m used to being bullied for standing up for what I believe in,” she added.

A depressing reflection of where we are as a country — but sadly, not an isolated case. At the Free Speech Union, we currently have five members on our books who’ve faced disciplinary action, or lost their jobs entirely, simply for their association with Reform UK.

There’s more on this story in The Telegraph’s original coverage, available here.
