Saturday Evening Posts Worth Reading and the 25-Hour News.
Des Freedman in the Islington Tribune – “the media consists less of an honourable array of impartial and independent organisations than a series of institutions which are intimately connected to the vested interests they report on.”
Strong stuff: The High Court Judgement on Lutfer Rahman. “Mr Rahman has made a successful career by ignoring or flouting the law (as this Petition demonstrates) and has relied on silencing his critics by accusations of racism and Islamophobia. But his critics have not been silenced and neither has this court.
Religious fundamentalists arrive from the US to redeem our souls….

Des Freedman is pulling our leg:
“But newspapers continue to exert a grip on broadcast newsrooms and only last year the leading journalist Robert Peston argued in a speech that the BBC (and there is little reason to think that this applies solely to the BBC) was “completely obsessed” by the agendas of newspapers and, in particular, those of the Telegraph and Mail.”Most people in the UK get their news from the BBC and the BBC’s newspaper of choice is the Guardian.
I’m sure the BBC doesn’t get its pro-EU, mass immigration, homosexual supremacy and anti-Christian agenda from either the Telegraph or Mail.

Re. the “religious fundamentalists”. Do you think the writer is objective?
Not long ago, almost everyone thought homosexual behaviour was wrong (to say the least) then the mainstream media set about brainwashing us. If you don’t believe me, read “The Overhauling of Straight America”.
The first order of business is desensitization of the American public concerning gays and gay rights.
From the article you linked to:
“Now, how can you not start feeling uncomfortable when you are told that Great Britain is “a heart-broken nation that needs to be redeemed,” or “a confused and hurting nation” in which reigns “absolute chaos,” and that “our ruling elite are a shame to Jesus Christ”?”
Everyone should feel VERY uncomfortable at the way the UK is going down the pan: economically, morally, spiritually, intellectually.and every way.
That was an unpleasant article by a “gay rights” fundamentalist. Some of them cannot abide the fact that a great many people have not accepted that their “lifestyle” is valid. They also cannot accept that many people want rid of their own same-sex attraction and there are moves to make such therapy illegal.
I reckon because they know it is sinful and that’s why the need to fight until every last voice of dissent has been silenced. But I’m sure that still won’t be enough; they will still know; still be angry; still feel unfulfilled. Because homosexual acts are wrong and that’s just how it is.
The socialists have been leading a war against morals, the family, faith and communities for generations in order to create their global “Utopia” of equality and total micromanagement by smashing our Judeo-Christian culture.
The “gay” propaganda is just a part of the subversion, but a powerful movement has been created. Not grass roots, but taxpayer-funded “charities”, the mainstream media and the government.

‘Because homosexual acts are wrong and that’s just how it is’. Some might think organised religion has done far more damage to mankind than a couple of guys sharing a bed.

“Some might think organised religion has done far more damage to mankind than a couple of guys sharing a bed.”
What’s the name for that sort of phrase? (Apart from misrepresentation!)
For one thing, organised ideological subversion has the upper hand over faith in this country.
For a society to function and be healthy there needs to be rules; lines drawn in the sand. When these come from atheists there can be a heavy price to pay.
As a country, generally, we are beginning to reap what we have sown. People have bought into the fake “equality” and “human rights” agendas. I have shown that “human rights” give all rights to the State.
As this fake “equality” increases, personal freedom diminishes: property rights, freedom of contract, freedom of speech, conscientious objection, etc.
It’s a huge con. Why do you think the KGB helped the West to spread this propaganda? Same with multiculturalism, “hate crimes,” quickie divorces, certain workers’ “rights,” etc. Correct: to destroy the fabric of our society to engineer a Marxist-Leninist regime, which is more-or-less what we have now with the ungodly LibLabCon globalists taking their orders from everyone bar the people of the UK.
Reminder: Prior to the last few years of political correctness, no government or monarch legalised same-sex “marriage” anywhere in the world at any time in history – not once. Not because they were “homophobic” but because they knew that legitimising it would threaten the stability of their realm and I suspect that it was as completely illogical to them as it is to me.

Why should what two consenting adults get up to in private affect anyone but themselves? I couldn’t care less who sleeps with who, and it’s not my business to tell anyone who they should sleep with, let alone blame anyone who deviates from Adam & Eve missionary position heaven as being a contributing factor to the decline and fall of western civilisation. Honestly, you’re seeing conspiracy theories in something merely because it doesn’t equate with your moral barometer.
-
April 26, 2015 at 12:59 am -
Because it is not about “what two consenting adults get up to in private”. It has invaded the media, the government/EU/UN and their fake human rights. Give overarching rights to a tiny minority and it deprives the majority of their true rights, such as I have already mentioned.
It is not about “what two consenting adults get up to in private” when Stonewall are in schools promoting their “lifestyle” under the pretext of stopping “homophobic bullying”.
These are the people whose propaganda extends to this:
“Children as young as five should learn about gay relationships in schools and boys should be allowed to express their feminine sides by dressing in frocks or becoming cheerleaders, according to a Government-funded initiative.”
Can’t you see the agenda is subversion? A con? A rewriting of the rules to change society to remove all of our freedoms?

How are your (or anybody’s) freedoms being removed because a gay couple can get married? WINDSOCK, WHERE ARE YOU? YOU’RE NEEDED HERE!
-
April 26, 2015 at 2:28 am -
Why can’t you defend your own viewpoint/conditioning?
Disappearing rights. For example:
Property Rights: B&B owners not permitted to let out rooms with double beds to match their morals. But we are seeing property rights diminishing everywhere, especially for smokers.
Freedom of Assembly: the “LGBT community” attempted to have the event cancelled.
Conscientious Objection: no longer are we expected to be allowed to live by our moral standards if it conflicts with “progressive” politics.
Freedom of Speech: street preachers have been arrested. There are many other devices being used to restrict what we can comfortably talk about.
“Gay marriage” will weaken real marriage even more thus weakening society even more. That’s its whole purpose. Go listen to Yuri Bezmenov who described it all 30 years ago; how the KGB spread “equality” in the West to weaken us.
Do you really think the powers that be love minorities so much that they fall over backwards for them or do you not think that maybe they’re up to no good, as usual?
Frankly, I’m just sick of trying to explain it. It’s so obvious.
They (like Ed Balls) want to teach 5 year-olds about sex. Why? In case one of them gets pregnant or an STD? No, it is because the sooner they can be indoctrinated into experimenting with sex, the more dysfunctional they are likely to become and therefore less likely to be able to form a stable relationship and raise a family, the building blocks of society.

Nah, not really – you’re doing just fine Petunia. thank you.
What I find really REALLY funny is that, according to Jim S, there is a “homosexual supremacy” at the BBC and thus we are all threatened. Stewart Cowan is convinced that gay people are some sort of monolithic “they”. He doesn’t seem us as people, we are “them”, we are “other”. We are ashamed of ourselves… as if. That’s the whole point of Pride events – to show we are NOT consumed by guilt and we don’t recognise the concept of sin in regard to who gets their hands down our knickers
While I will stand up for what I believe is right and wrong, and believe I have absolute discretion and autonomy over my own body and life, I don’t tend to engage people who have closed minds and rely on blokes (however wise they may have been) who lived between 5,000 and 2,000 years ago for their guidance. While it may have been necessary to promote heterosexuality for the good of the tribe then, there is no need to do so now. And if there were all those prohibitions, it shows that it must have been going on, otherwise why all the warnings? Therefore, if is a centuries old activity and not a modern phenomenon.
As for the act itself, gay life is about more than buggery, but that’s the only aspect upon which these people choose to focus. It’s like love and affection and kindness and care are irrelevant because we have bumsex…. Well, not all gay men do that (have you watched “Cucumber”?), and lesbians aren’t so hot on it. Sometimes, a kiss and cuddle and the holding of hands is all I need from a big burly bearded man.
Still, after reading all this, I’m now thinking of a tattoo on my arse cheeks – “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.”
And let’s not forget – anal sex was (is?) practised by many young heterosexuals in the Mediterranean and elsewhere around the world pre-marriage, so brides can keep their hymen intact can produce their vital bloodstains on the marital bedsheet. More nonsense.
Having said all that, I thought the original linked piece did protest too much and made invalid assumptions – but then again, so did the speakers at the event.

Windsock – re. a “homosexual supremacy” at the BBC, read “The Overhauling of Straight America” I linked to, as the same thing has happened here. There is even a course in the UK which propels homosexuals (only) into the mainstream media.
You’re wrong; I certainly do think of those who practise a homosexual lifestyle to be people, hence my concern for them/you.
I see the point of “pride” events as twofold: a) “rubbing our noses in diversity” and b) trying to reassure yourselves that it’s all fine and dandy. It’s appropriately named as it “cometh before destruction.”
“…and believe I have absolute discretion and autonomy over my own body…”
That one. As scripture says, “You are not your own.” Can you add a day to your life?
Why wouldn’t you take advice from people who lived thousands of years ago? Do you disregard Socrates, Plato and Aristotle too? Has Archimedes’ principle been superseded? Can we scoff at Pythagoras’s theorem? Has the value of pi drastically altered to fit in with political correctness?
-
April 26, 2015 at 10:56 am -
Hmm, your choice of ancient Greeks might no do your argument much good… Pride events are not at all about rubbing your face in anything – if you are not there, how could we possibly do that? they are about safety in numbers, saying there is actually more to our lives than bumsex – such as community, support and most of all, LOVE.
Yes, I live by mathematical concepts – but then Pythagoras and Archimedes were not so vociferous about who I should sleep with. Socrates and Plato philisophised about life and politics and morals and many of their concerns are the same as ours. Your argument are not based in fact, merely opinion – and your’s has no more worth than my own. On this subject, we shall never agree.
As for adding a day to my life – ha! I should have been dead in 1993 (PCP), again in 1995 (KS) and again in 2013 (Cryptococcal meningitis) – and yet, here I am, some 8,000+ days later, days I have added by the ingenuity of mankind and manmade medicine. Or do you think I should be dead by now? Your God would have let me die without them.

If God made people in his own image, was there a Mrs God?
I’ve never heard the Trouble & Strife mentioned.
Was man made by a Confirmed Bachelor living in Paradise (who decorated Heaven?)
And what’s with the long flowing robes..cross dresser?
Did he made Bruce Jenner in his own image?.-

If God had made us without sex, life would be a paradise of intellectual and cultural serenity, so the real question might more properly be why does God have a sex drive… Something to do with understanding what love is perhaps. I used to occasionally buy “Spare Rib” to read in the pub. Women in the 70’s knew their place in the scheme of things.
-
April 28, 2015 at 8:35 am -
Moor, that’s the thing I don’t understand about “God” – he made us capable of having sex, but then told us not to do it. That seems like a mighty capricious (some might say almost evil) thing to do.

Thank you for posting the Rahman judgment. A masterly work. sadly, I was neither surprised nor shocked by the contents. I heard an interview with one of the petitioners who said that in his view, the police and electoral commission new full well what was going on, and turned a blind eye to malpractice. I have no doubt that’s true. Here is just one of the passages that highlight the scandalous and deeply disturbing situation.
“The next episode was both deeply unpleasant and mildly ludicrous. In this context it should be said that Council meetings, especially those open to the public, are by no means places of dignified quiet. I was told by Councillor Golds that any criticism of Mr Rahman or his colleagues or indeed any attempt to ask questions would habitually be met with shouts of ‘racist’ or similar from the Mayor’s party. Nor were members of the public silent. The public gallery was, the court was told, often filled with raucous supporters of the Mayor who would shout abuse at those opposed to him, frequently in unacceptable terms. For example Mr Golds was subject to abuse both because he is Jewish and because he is gay. Though one might have thought that any Mayor would discourage anti-semitic homophobic abuse, no attempt seems to have been made by him to curb the activities of these supporters.
On 26 February 2014, at a Council meeting open to the public, Mr Choudhury lost control of himself: he pointed to a Labour Councillor and former (non-elected) Mayor, Ms Ann Jackson, and shouted ‘Oswald Mosley had his blackshirts, John Biggs had his black cardigans.’ This outburst was extraordinary in itself but Mr Rahman made no attempt to ask Mr Choudhury to withdraw the remark or to apologize. In the end, the Council voted to remove Mr Choudhury’s right to speak.
What made the incident even more indefensible was that Ms Jackson was wearing a black cardigan because she was in mourning for a relative…”
And on and on it goes.
Disgrace.

And of the obvious harassment and pressure put on voters attending polling stations, here’s a nice aside from the judge:
“With a few exceptions, the witness statements for the returning officer covering events outside the polling stations (mainly police officers) and inside (mainly polling staff) described an atmosphere of hushed, almost cloistral, calm. In the light of the two other groups of statements, an unkind person might remark that the policemen and polling staff had appeared to take as their rôle models the legendary Three Wise Monkeys”
Quite.

Except, in my experience, policemen are anything but ‘wise’.
Sarcastic and rude, one never sees them on the street patrolling, but when a call comes in they turn up mob-handed. Over-bearing and power-drunk seems about right.
And I have yet to come across a criminal law barrister who doesn’t thought of them as a bunch of perjurers.

There has undoubtedly been an unholy alliance between the far-right Christian movement imported from the USA and the so-called survivor groups and ‘charities’ that all have a vested interest in an end goal.
They may have had set-backs in previous decades- Dickens and his Satanic lunacy – but these people are so dedicated (obsessed) that any set-back is a reason to re-double their efforts, re-group and continue the Holy War.
I do believe the claims made that the general acceptance of gay & lesbian life-styles (which in the past has simply been ignored if not ‘flaunted’) has meant a new enemy for these Crusaders had to be found and child protection is that crusade.
The so-called ‘establishment’ has been blind-sided and caught off guard while it’s manna for the media providing an endless source of sensational tales. Combined with an army of internet lunatics who are not shackled by libel laws the mainstream media is pushing it’s always dubious boundaries even further. Witness how brave they are about condemning Janner whilst they were still reluctant with Lord Brittan only a few months ago.
Will the public tire of it eventually?. Probably but many witches will have been burnt by then. They may be aging politicians or celebrities today but this hunt will branch out to claim more and more. A Crusade is a hungry beast that must be fed.
Des Freedman is right. Amazing that he was given a forum.
