Thor and Electro-Magnetism - UPDATE
IMAGE - How gamma rays bursts of Photons cause lightning.
A few days I blogged about the Norse god Thor and Electro-magnetism and put forward a theory based on the myths of Thor that acted as the foundation of a new theory for the basis of lighting due to Photons entering the earths atmosphere interacting with clouds and the resulting energy exchange as electrons were stripped away by the water molecules in the clouds causing a build of static charge then leading to lighting.
A gamma ray is a packet of electromagnetic energy--a photon. Gamma photons are the most energetic photons in the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma rays (gamma photons) are emitted from the nucleus of some unstable (radioactive) atoms.

Now NASA has confirmed that this is their latest theory on lightning and that they are sending a satellite up to check the theory out ;

Looks like the myths are right.
I think Jung would have defined this as an example of Synchronicity.
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=experts-do-cosmic-rays-cause-lightning
Because cosmic-ray air showers do not produce enough particles by themselves, Gurevich postulated that the thunderstorm gave the cosmic-ray shower a boost by increasing the number of energetic electrons through an exotic process called "runaway breakdown."
Runaway breakdown occurs when the drag force that electrons experience moving through air is less than the electric force acting upon them. In such cases, the electrons will "run away," gaining very large amounts of energy. As the runaway electrons collide with air molecules, they generate other runaway electrons plus x-rays and gamma rays, resulting in an avalanche of high-energy particles. Instead of rocks in a landslide, think of the runaway electrons as shrapnel tearing up a path through the storm cloud. According to the Gurevich model, this conductive path is what causes lightning.
Runaway breakdown can create large amounts of high-energy electrons, as well as x-rays and gamma rays. Interestingly, we know that runaway breakdown works for the low electric fields already seen inside thunderstorms. We also know that it does sometimes happen right before lightning, because we can see big bursts of x-rays and gamma rays shooting out of thunderstorms. In fact, these gamma rays are so energetic and so bright that they have been observed from outer space, 600 kilometers (373 miles) above Earth's surface.
So, does all this add up to cosmic rays as the cause of lightning? No one can be sure at present.
The fact that Thor is also the guardian of Life, is linked to lightning as it is now thought that lightning causes genetic mutations eg evolution ;

September Sky.
All the spring buds have bloomed,
And fallen to the ground, sighing,
In the fury of summers passion.
A blizzard of exulting blossoms,
Recalling as they are falling,
Precious moments of perfection.
As when first the wandering Sun,
Stretched forth his golden fingers,
And stroked open their pale petals.
Soft the loving kiss that he laid,
Upon the naked limbs of cherry trees,
Gently waking from winters sleep.
Now Autumn in all her wise womanhood,
Fears the widowing sky of September,
And weeps in silence as the Summer ends.

TREASON - buying off the Taliban
The Labour government, and all the main parties are traitors.
They started a war in Afghanistan that has killed hundreds of British troops and now they are going to pay the Taliban, and the murderers of British soldiers, not to attack us.
The labour party and Tories are going to bribe with hundreds of millions of pounds the same people who have been planting IED's and killing and maiming British troops in Afghanistan.
The old adage is true - If you are Britains friend they will sell you out, if you are Britains enemy they will buy you off.
These payments to the enemies of Britain, the Taliban, during war are acts of treason, as is funding the enemies of Britain during a time of war and having secret meetings with the enemy such as in Dubai.
This is treason, pure and simple treason.

The Mask Drops
During the 1960's and 1970's the Red Army Faction and Baader-Meinhof Group undertook a prolonged campaign of terrorism against the German State. This was done with the intent of provoke the German State to reveal its true 'fascist' nature by forcing it to enact legislation and impose laws that truly were fascistic - so that the people would see the true nature of their leaders and the German state and then rise up against them.
The court case today has revealed the true nature of the people that run our country.
They have revealed that Liberalism has evolved into a form of state sponsored racism, whereby the indigenous British people are prohibited from organising politcally on the grounds that they do not exist and that to allow them to do is 'racist'.
The fact that there are thousands of charities, organisations and groups for non-whites in Britain, but not ONE for the indigenous British people means that a state sanctioned and enforced racism exists at every level of society aimed solely at undermining the rights and interests of the indigenous majority and which is intended to usurp democracy itself by empowering the rights of non-indigenous minorities over that of the democratic majority.
RACISM AND UNDERMINING DEMOCRACY = FASCISM.
Therefore Liberalism = Fascism.
According to the powers that be ;
1) The Indigenous British people do not exist
2) The indigenous British people have no right to organise politically in the multi-cultural system in order to represent, protect and promote their interests in the multi-cultural society and democratic process.
3) That democracy, and the votes of one million people, are irrelevant to the scum that run our country
4) That the aim of the people who run this country is to ensure we as a people are denied the right to exist, our national culture removed and our homeland and way of life is taken away from us.
In effect it is a declaration of genocide against us.
But by confirming in this court case that this is their true agenda, they have removed the mask from their own faces and revealed the true Anti-democratic, Anti-British people hatred and Anti-British agenda that motivates them.
They did this too themselves.
Now every British person can see for themselves that the aim of the Establishment at all levels is treason - that they intend to swamp us with immigrants, destroy our British culture and British way of life and make us a powerless minority in our home land.
That is simply treason.
But the answer is not to get angry.
The answer is to get even.
Sometimes you have to lose the battle to win the war.
But you can only win the war by staying in the fight.
The EHRC and the maggots in the Whorehouses of Parliament want us to get angry and not think about our next step.
Logic is the answer.
We must give them the stupid and meaningless assurances they want us to give them and we must play the game they want us to play. As long as they are in charge they can make the rules of the game of course.
The aim of the game is therefore to stay in the fight and get into power.
We must give them all the guarantees they want in order to comply with their laws.
But they, and we know, that this is simply a game of legal chess.
The assurances we have to give to the scum that run this country, such as the unelected filth in the EHRC, has no meaning to us other than we have to obey it to comply with the law.
The same situation relates to expense expenses and election laws of course.
We have to abide by those laws as much as we have to abide by this law.
But the changing of the constitution is meaningless as to who we are, what we believe and what we will do when we get into power.
They can never force us to change our own personal principles, beliefs and ideals.
These we hold within us, as a sacred flame, until we get into power,
Once we get into power then we can change the rule of the game and pass our own laws.
That is why we must stay in the fight until we get into power.
The National Revolution to come is not in the BNP constitution, it is not on any piece of paper or wormtongued words - the National Revolution begins the day we take power.
On that day we deliver unto our enemies our justice.
We have learnt your lessons well.
You have made us ready for power and by your actions, you have shown us how to use power.
What you have sown, so shall you reap.
The sole aim of us participating in the political process is to take power.
The true revolutionaries of history have learnt that the only effective way to take power is by the ballot box.
The more that any terrorist group attacks the state, the stronger the state grows.
The state feeds on terror.
Therefore the only way to kill the poisoned state, is to take control of the poisoned state and kill it from within.
That is what we will do.
We will play by their pathetic political and legal games and stay in the fight.
At the same time we must begin the process of creating a mass social and cultural movement to exist alongside the political struggle - so that the moment we begin to grow politically the state will understand that an direct attack us is also an attack on our community and our culture.
At the moment we have neglected the Social and Cultural struggles that MUST run alongside our political struggle.
Only by creating movements that mobilise the masses outside politics, can we ensure our safety as a political movement.
The political movement must be the point of the spear and the cultural and social movements the power that propels the spear forwards into its target.
That target is political power.
The time has come for the British Nationalist movement to end its decades of infighting and simply do one thing - organise your own people and stop attacking each other.
If the British Nationalist movement simply concentrated on recruiting, expanding and politicising our people then we will have taken a huge step forward.
RECRUIT - ORGANISE - RESIST.

Thor and Electro-Magnetism
Image - SPRITE, whose representation is of Thor with a long red beard.
Image - Sprite image showing the red beard and long red whiskers of Thors beard.
Image of Thor showing resemblance between Thor and a Sprite, the hat is the top cone of the sprite lightning as it bursts into being, the rim of the hat is the round circular rim of the sprite lightning and his red beard is a representation of the lightning whiskers underneath the sprite lightning and his hands grip the hammer representing lightning strikes as they hit the earth.
The image shows in its symbolism the location and form of the two types of lightning.
Image - the three different types of lightning.
I will be undertaking an series of articles building on the work of Elsa-Brita Titchenell in her book The Masks of Odin.
The first part is the chapter from her book here ;
http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/odin/odin-3.htm
THOR
Another universally recognized deity is Thor, who corresponds to Jove or Jupiter of the Romans and in certain respects to the Greek Zeus. The source of all vitality and power, he too has many names suggestive of the different phenomena to which electromagnetic force applies. Thor is not only the Thunderer controlling the weather (paralleled by Jupiter the jovial and Jupiter Pluvius), he is also the regent of the planet Jupiter. When Thor goes by the name Vior he represents vitality, the life force that animates every being.
As Lorride he is the electricity we know on earth and he visits us from the surrounding sky in lightning and thunder.
In the vastness of space Thor is Trudgalmer (sound of Thor), the sustaining energy (Fohat of Oriental philosophy) that organizes cosmos out of chaos and sets the galactic pinwheels churning. Trud or Thor is the impelling force which keeps atoms in motion and, like the Hindu Vishnu, maintains all things in action during their lifetimes.
The hammer of Thor is Mjolnir (miller), the pulverizing force that destroys as well as creates. It is the electric circuit which always returns to the hand that sent it forth. Symbolized by the svastika, either three- or four-armed, it represents whirling motion, the ever moving power which never ceases while anything lives in time and space.
Trudgalmer has two sons: Mode (force) and Magne (strength), which suggest the two poles of electricity or magnetism on the cosmic level. Everything connected with Thor repeats the duality of bipolar power. His sons, centrifugal and centripetal action, manifest as radiation and gravitation in all forms of life. In the human arena we know these forces as hate and love, repulsion and attraction.
Thor's iron belt forms the circuit for electrical current; his two steel gloves imply the duality of positive and negative polarity.
His chariot wheels send sparks of lightning through the skies; for this reason, when traveling abroad he is unable to use the rainbow bridge of the gods, Bifrost, (2) as his lightnings would set the bridge on fire; he must therefore ford the waters (of space) that separate the worlds from one another.
This apparently poses no problem to the god, so it is perplexing to find one lay devoted entirely to a rather monotonous exchange of braggadocio between Thor and the ferryman Harbard whom Thor is trying to persuade to convey him across a river.
It is evidently a ploy to demonstrate the need of a conductor to convey electric power. (The lay is not included here.) On the planet earth Thor's action is served by his two adopted children, Tjalfe (speed) and Roskva (work), familiar servants of our power-hungry civilization.
Thor's beautiful wife is named Sif. She has long golden hair which is the pride of all the gods. It represents the vitality of growth as well as the harvest which results from it and, analogically, the evolutionary power and urge to progress that maintains the course of existence for all beings.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would also add this to the scientific interpretation of Thor in the myths as put forward by Elsa-Brita Titchenell ;
The goats that pull Thor’s chariot represent Electrons and Proton‘s.
The chariot therefore represents an Photon.
In physics, a photon is an elementary particle, the quantum of the electromagnetic field and the basic "unit" of light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
It is also the force carrier for the electromagnetic force.
The chariot of Thor thereby symbolises an individual Photon particle, whilst the wheels of the chariot that leave a trail behind it whilst passing through space are therefore creating a line or a wave behind the chariot.
The chariot and its trail therefore signify the dualistic nature of a Photon, that it is both a wave and a particle.
The Hammer of Thor, Mjollnir, is made of iron and therefore represents the conductivity of electricity through iron as a lightning conductor.
Thor travels in a chariot drawn by goats Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr, sometimes with his servant and messenger Þjálfi and Þjálfi's sister Röskva. The skaldic poem Haustlöng relates that the earth was scorched and the mountains cracked as Thor traveled in his wagon. According to the Prose Edda, when Thor is hungry he can roast the goats for a meal. When he wants to continue his travels, Thor only needs to bless the remains of the goats with his hammer Mjöllnir, and they will be instantly restored to full health to resume their duties, assuming that the bones have not been broken.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor
Therefore the consumption of the goats symbolises the release of Electrons and Protons for power when Thor requires energy from a Photon.
In one of the myths one of the goats is killed and eaten but the marrow drained from the bones, and animal then has a limp - this suggests the draining od too much energy from a Photon drains and damages it.
The goats represent Pair Scattering where a Photon splits into an electron and proton.
It is from the pair scattering when a Photon hits the heavy nucleus of water molcules in the atmosphere that creates the electrical discharge of lightning.
The word ‘lightning’ reveals that the electricity generated in storms that is discharged as lightning is derived from Photons as ‘LIGHT-ning’.
This confirms that the chariot is a Photon, a particle of light and that light, a Photon, and lightning are linked.
The flash of light from lightning is proof of this.
The moment that the electrical charge in lightning is earthed, then light, Photons, are emitted.
Thor is described as having a ‘great red beard’ and wears a round brimmed hat - which is an exact description of a Sprite type of lightning in the Mesosphere (check image above for picture of Sprite lightning).
The Blue Jet type of lightning represents Thors chariot flying across the sky.
The lightning bolts we see are the bolts from Thors Hammer.
Therefore we can also ascertain that this provides us a model from which we can derive the scientific source of lightning, which is due to the actions of Photons entering the atmosphere.
Photons can also be absorbed by nuclei, atoms or molecules, provoking transitions between their energy levels.
According to the old myths there are two possible interpretations of the true source of lightning, which is firstly that the energy transitions of Photons entering Earths atmosphere and magnetosphere may create a static charge in the atmosphere which then builds up in a location after entering cloud formations. This build up static charge within clouds caused by Photons entering the clouds then discharges as lightning bolts.
The other possible theory is that the clouds containing water are conductive and thereby allow discharges of static current generated by Photons entering the Earths magnetosphere to be discharged from the magnetosphere then through the clouds and discharging as lightning into the Earth.
Therefore the power of Thor, electricity and its source is explained with a precision that is clearly based on a scientific understanding of the physical nature of the universe hundreds of years in advance of their time - and in relation to the issue of the origin of lightning ahead of the present science on lighting which has only theories about where lightning comes from.
That this is true is confirmed elsewhere in the myths and stories of the Odinic faith.
UKIP and the City Hedge Fund Traders
Yesterday I blogged that UKIP was a political party that has been bought by a cabal of hedge fund traders in London - and today Lord Pearson admits it.
Pearson admits that the money to save UKIP from bankruptcy comes from Hedge Fund Traders who want UKIP to scrap / repeal the Hedge Fund Directive from the EU.
What sort of so called political party prostitutes itself so cravenly to the powers of big money.
Pearson then admits that Farage stepped aside to let him take power as the money from the hedge fund traders would only be given if Lord Pearson was the party leader.
Pearson also admits that UKIP will take more money from the hedge fund traders - and in effect become the party of global capitalism.
Therefore UKIP is no longer a political party - it is a mechanism for the rule of Britain by the power of money.
Ian Dale interviews Lord Pearson
The new leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party tells Iain Dale he is a reluctant leader, admits he makes gaffes and desperately wants a hung Parliament. He also claims he never wanted to be a politician
http://www.totalpolitics.com/magazine_detail.php?id=728
ID: So what on earth made you decide to stand for leadership of UKIP?
LP: There was quite a lot of arm-twisting from a number of leading people within the party and from several of the major donors.
Because you haven't actually been in the party that long...
No, I have only been in the party a couple of years because before that I sat as an Independent Conservative after being sacked from the Conservative Party in great disgrace.
How much of a wrench was it to leave?
I was always a rebel. I said I would be loyal to Margaret Thatcher and I remained loyal to her, but that wasn't the same thing as being loyal to Mr Major. I'd been the most rebellious backbench peer in the Lords and when I was sacked for suggesting people should lend their vote to UKIP in the European elections, it was actually a great relief. I have always been a bit of a maverick, so I'm afraid it didn't trouble me at all. I kept my personal friends in the party, not that there's very many of them.
It's slightly ironic though, isn't it, because the Conservative Party is more eurosceptic now than it has ever been?
The Conservative Party, the leadership, isn't nearly eurosceptic enough. The project of European integration, as originally envisaged by Monnet, is complete and everyone knows that. Cameron is simply not telling the truth when he pretends a sovereignty act to prevent further losses of sovereignty to Brussels is meaningful. I think they know he's talking nonsense when he says he can reclaim various powers from Brussels.
But surely he would only be misleading people if there was no further sovereignty to secede to Brussels but there clearly is?
What further sovereignty?
Economics and taxation for example.
Well they've got that if they want it.
Well, they don't have the power to raise taxes.
I believe they do. You only have to look at their use of Article 308 [allows EU Council to act on a proposal with extra powers], which they have been using since the French and Dutch rejection of the original constitution, to do anything they wanted, in fact.
But under that Article everything has to happen unanimously. A British prime minister can veto it.
He can, but the British government has not been vetoing it.
No, but a Conservative government could.
Yes, for anything new - not what's already been done. Don't forget our old friend the ratchet - the Aquis Communitaire [EU law made so far]. Our position is they don't need anything new now and even if they were to, they are already talking about raising tax and I'm not aware that either Cameron or any of the established parties have screamed about that.
So if all that is true then basically the game's up - what's the point of UKIP?
Because the only way out is the door and the point of UKIP is, in the next general election campaign, to try and inform the public more precisely about why we are in this position. The people have got the point about why this has gone seriously wrong. Even the lawyers and the accountants in the City of London have now got the point. They never cared about the fishermen or any other industries that have been damaged, sometimes to the point of extinction, by our membership of the European Union. But they have now got the point because of the Hedge Fund Directive. People are beginning to see clearly what this project has always been about.
Isn't part of the problem though that you can wax lyrical about Section 308 of the Treaty of Rome or the Hedge Fund Directive all you like, but you've actually got to appeal to people's hearts and minds? Isn't the problem with UKIP that it looks less like the rest of the British people?
Well, that's not what the latest opinion polls would tell you. A large majority of people wish to go back to free trade and friendly collaboration with the European Union. If you ask a slightly different question - do you want to come out? - then that's more frightening. In the general election campaign we are simply going to deliver two messages that are incredibly simple. One is that your democracy has removed your right to elect and dismiss those who make your laws. We are also going to run another idea which hasn't really been tested in the political world and it runs right alongside getting out of the European Union. The idea is direct democracy, power to the people, the Swiss system of referendums and the Daniel Hannan/Douglas Carswell plan. The British people are fed up with all the regulation that is coming at them from Brussels and, to a certain extent, Westminster.
This is where I think you personally have a problem. I could accept a lot of what you say as could most people if it came from Nigel Farage, but people will have more difficulty taking it from an unelected member of the House of Lords.
I've been elected to the leadership and Nigel's one commitment to me is he will remain the chief party spokesman. He's going to be in charge of media relations and he is our front man with the media. Obviously Nigel's a genius, he's a great man and a great politician and I don't pretend to be. He was a Derby winner. UKIP have now got a sort of carthorse [laughs]. We know that and I accept that and I have said that all the way through the hustings.
But we all know that dual leaderships never work.
Nigel will be our spokesperson and obviously if I am called upon because I'm the leader then I will speak. I don't detect people are holding my background against me and if they are then there's nothing I can do about it. I'm not going to apologise. I'm not going to resign from White's Club. I'm not going to stop shooting and stalking and I'm going to carry on because I never wanted to be a politician. I have always said I'm not a politician and I'm not and I can't pretend otherwise. And so I make gaffes, I talk about the 'disband' word when what I meant was get together and fight. I've accused the Muslims of breeding ten times faster than us when what I really meant was their population is going up and so on. I've made mistakes and I will probably make more. I try and do better but that's where we are.
Do you not think though that you might be seen as the Ming Campbell of UKIP?
Possibly. I am 67 years old. I have never been much involved in party politics. I've done a bit of canvassing but that's all, so therefore when I look at the structure of a political party I have to learn as I go along. The trouble with UKIP is that its success has outgrown its infrastructure and that needs putting right. Now that's not Nigel's scene. He's not an organisation chart man. He's a political genius and a brilliant man. Organisation charts are not his strong point and he's very happy to leave that to me.
The party itself historically has been a shambles hasn't it, organisationally?
I wouldn't dare use that expression but it has certainly not been very well organised. Our communications have been bad. People have been learning things in the press that they ought to have known about in advance. A proper organisation chart and proper communication is not difficult and we are going to do that. We will have a more efficient fighting machine.
But isn't part of the problem that to do any of what you just said, which is obviously necessary, you have to have money and UKIP has not got the money to do it. In fact, it's got to pay back £360,000.
We have that covered already and I will try and raise more money for the rest of it. One of the reasons I stood for leadership was that I thought, as leader, I would be better able to raise money. As leader, I would be able to raise the sort of money we need or would be more likely to be able to than if one of the other candidates had become leader.
Pearson admits that the money to save UKIP from bankruptcy comes from Hedge Fund Traders who want UKIP to scrap / repeal the Hedge Fund Directive from the EU.

It's slightly ironic though, isn't it, because the Conservative Party is more eurosceptic now than it has ever been?
The Conservative Party, the leadership, isn't nearly eurosceptic enough. The project of European integration, as originally envisaged by Monnet, is complete and everyone knows that. Cameron is simply not telling the truth when he pretends a sovereignty act to prevent further losses of sovereignty to Brussels is meaningful. I think they know he's talking nonsense when he says he can reclaim various powers from Brussels.
But surely he would only be misleading people if there was no further sovereignty to secede to Brussels but there clearly is?
What further sovereignty?
Economics and taxation for example.
Well they've got that if they want it.
Well, they don't have the power to raise taxes.
I believe they do. You only have to look at their use of Article 308 [allows EU Council to act on a proposal with extra powers], which they have been using since the French and Dutch rejection of the original constitution, to do anything they wanted, in fact.
But under that Article everything has to happen unanimously. A British prime minister can veto it.
He can, but the British government has not been vetoing it.
No, but a Conservative government could.
Yes, for anything new - not what's already been done. Don't forget our old friend the ratchet - the Aquis Communitaire [EU law made so far]. Our position is they don't need anything new now and even if they were to, they are already talking about raising tax and I'm not aware that either Cameron or any of the established parties have screamed about that.
So if all that is true then basically the game's up - what's the point of UKIP?
Because the only way out is the door and the point of UKIP is, in the next general election campaign, to try and inform the public more precisely about why we are in this position. The people have got the point about why this has gone seriously wrong. Even the lawyers and the accountants in the City of London have now got the point. They never cared about the fishermen or any other industries that have been damaged, sometimes to the point of extinction, by our membership of the European Union. But they have now got the point because of the Hedge Fund Directive. People are beginning to see clearly what this project has always been about.
Isn't part of the problem though that you can wax lyrical about Section 308 of the Treaty of Rome or the Hedge Fund Directive all you like, but you've actually got to appeal to people's hearts and minds? Isn't the problem with UKIP that it looks less like the rest of the British people?
Well, that's not what the latest opinion polls would tell you. A large majority of people wish to go back to free trade and friendly collaboration with the European Union. If you ask a slightly different question - do you want to come out? - then that's more frightening. In the general election campaign we are simply going to deliver two messages that are incredibly simple. One is that your democracy has removed your right to elect and dismiss those who make your laws. We are also going to run another idea which hasn't really been tested in the political world and it runs right alongside getting out of the European Union. The idea is direct democracy, power to the people, the Swiss system of referendums and the Daniel Hannan/Douglas Carswell plan. The British people are fed up with all the regulation that is coming at them from Brussels and, to a certain extent, Westminster.
This is where I think you personally have a problem. I could accept a lot of what you say as could most people if it came from Nigel Farage, but people will have more difficulty taking it from an unelected member of the House of Lords.
I've been elected to the leadership and Nigel's one commitment to me is he will remain the chief party spokesman. He's going to be in charge of media relations and he is our front man with the media. Obviously Nigel's a genius, he's a great man and a great politician and I don't pretend to be. He was a Derby winner. UKIP have now got a sort of carthorse [laughs]. We know that and I accept that and I have said that all the way through the hustings.
But we all know that dual leaderships never work.
Nigel will be our spokesperson and obviously if I am called upon because I'm the leader then I will speak. I don't detect people are holding my background against me and if they are then there's nothing I can do about it. I'm not going to apologise. I'm not going to resign from White's Club. I'm not going to stop shooting and stalking and I'm going to carry on because I never wanted to be a politician. I have always said I'm not a politician and I'm not and I can't pretend otherwise. And so I make gaffes, I talk about the 'disband' word when what I meant was get together and fight. I've accused the Muslims of breeding ten times faster than us when what I really meant was their population is going up and so on. I've made mistakes and I will probably make more. I try and do better but that's where we are.
Do you not think though that you might be seen as the Ming Campbell of UKIP?
Possibly. I am 67 years old. I have never been much involved in party politics. I've done a bit of canvassing but that's all, so therefore when I look at the structure of a political party I have to learn as I go along. The trouble with UKIP is that its success has outgrown its infrastructure and that needs putting right. Now that's not Nigel's scene. He's not an organisation chart man. He's a political genius and a brilliant man. Organisation charts are not his strong point and he's very happy to leave that to me.
The party itself historically has been a shambles hasn't it, organisationally?
I wouldn't dare use that expression but it has certainly not been very well organised. Our communications have been bad. People have been learning things in the press that they ought to have known about in advance. A proper organisation chart and proper communication is not difficult and we are going to do that. We will have a more efficient fighting machine.
But isn't part of the problem that to do any of what you just said, which is obviously necessary, you have to have money and UKIP has not got the money to do it. In fact, it's got to pay back £360,000.
We have that covered already and I will try and raise more money for the rest of it. One of the reasons I stood for leadership was that I thought, as leader, I would be better able to raise money. As leader, I would be able to raise the sort of money we need or would be more likely to be able to than if one of the other candidates had become leader.

Britain, a United Nations of crime: Offenders from 160 countries are in our crowded prisons... one in seven inmates

Child-killer Agnes Wong was one of the prisoners 'bribed' to quit Britain
Paid to leave: Child-killer Agnes Wong was one of the prisoners 'bribed' to quit Britain
Labour's open door immigration policy has turned Britain's jails into a 'United Nations of crime' - holding inmates from 160 countries.
The foreign criminals represent one in every seven inmates in our prisons - which are so packed that British convicts are being released early to make space.
They range from murderers and rapists to burglars, paedophiles and drug dealers.
There are only 192 member countries of the United Nations, meaning all bar 32 are represented in the British prison system.
The top ten nationalities of the inmates are Jamaica, Nigeria, the Irish Republic, Vietnam, Poland, China, Somalia, Pakistan, India and Romania.
There is no evidence to suggest that foreign nationals are more likely to commit crime. Rather, the huge number of overseas convicts - 11,546 out of 84,000 people in jail - reflects the large number of immigrants living in the UK.
Tory immigration spokesman Damian Green, who uncovered the figures, said: 'Britain has been reduced to the United Nations of crime.
'The fact that criminals from eight in ten countries in the world are plying their trade in Britain shows something is very wrong with both our immigration and security policy.'
'This is a continuing crisis both for the immigration system and the prison system. There are obvious dangers in overloaded prisons, as well as a burden on British taxpayers who have to pay for this.'
A graphic of the worst offenders
The huge number of foreign nations has been blamed for the current prison overcrowding crisis, which has led to the early release of tens of thousands of inmates.
In total, 75,000 convicts have benefited from Labour's End of Custody Licence - under which they walk free 18 days before their sentence reaches the halfway point.
They include 15,000 violent offenders, 6,795 criminals serving sentences for burglary, 16,402 for theft, 3,322 for drug offences and 1,898 for robbery.
The Ministry of Justice is aware of 1,512 offences committed by offenders during their period of early release. This includes three murders.
Critics say that if there had been fewer foreign national prisoners, early release of British criminals may not have been required.
Ministers have tried a number of desperate tactics to reduce the number of overseas inmates.
Last month, it emerged that foreign rapists, murderers and other offenders were being offered credit cards pre-loaded with more than £450 of taxpayers' cash if they agreed to return home.
The perk is part of a package worth up to £5,000 designed to 'bribe' them to leave the UK.
The credit cards are loaded with money which the convict can spend as soon as they leave British soil. The remainder of the windfall is payable 'in kind' when they return home, and can include cash to set up a business.
One in four of the foreign criminals who was deported last year only went home after being offered one of the special payments.
Recent recipients include an immigrant convicted of the horrific killing of a 17-month- old baby.
Malaysian Agnes Wong, 29, was jailed for five years in 2008 for the manslaughter of a toddler she was supposed to be child-minding. The Tories have vowed to end the End of Custody Licence scheme. Controversially, they are considering using prison ships to provide extra space.
Immigration Minster Phil Woolas said: 'I have made it clear that those who come to the UK and break the rules will not be tolerated. That is why we are removing more foreign criminals than ever before, including a record 5,400 in 2008.
'The UK Border Agency works hard to remove these individuals at the earliest opportunity.
'The Government has agreed transfer agreements with many countries, meaning lawbreakers can be sent home to serve the rest of their sentences in foreign prisons.'

Poverty Culls Elderly Whites
Two million pensioners are living in poverty - with half unable to afford heating

Poverty: Some one million pensioners are unable to afford to heat their homes (Posed by model)
Two million pensioners are living in poverty, according to figures released today.
Half of these are living alone and unable to afford fuel – meaning they have to spend more than 10 per cent of their income on heating.
The findings, published by the Office of National Statistics, also show fewer over 60s are relying on the state pension – with more receiving company benefits.
However, according to the figures, the number of pensioners living in poverty has fallen by nearly a third from 2.9million in 1998/99 to two million in 2007/08 – the most recent statistics available.
Poverty is officially defined as living on 60% of the average income, once housing costs have been paid.
The ONS analysis also found that the difference in income for the richest and poorest households was lower for pensioners than for those still working.
But it added that income inequality increased during the past three decades, particularly during the period between 1977 and 1990.
There has also been a pronounced shift in the source of pensioners' income, according to the ONS.
In 1997, the state pension accounted for 53 per cent of a retired person’s income – falling to 37 per cent in 2007/08.

While money from occupational pensions and annuities accounted for an average of just 18 per cent, rising to 36 per cent over the same period.
Around 11 per cent of pensioners' income came from investments in 2007/08, while 13 per cent came from benefits.
Figures also show the liabilities faced by unfunded public sector pension schemes fell to £770billion in March 2008, down from £810billion 12 months earlier - although it said much of the improvement was due to changes in accounting assumptions.
The ONS said that income from a company or private pension scheme was a crucial factor in determining whether someone would be well off in retirement or not.
'In 2007-08, pensioners with private pensions were more likely to be in the higher income quintile groups [the top 20%] for the whole population, while those without private pensions were more likely to be in the bottom income quintile groups,' the ONS said.

Israel Acts on Immigration - Melanie Phillips Stays Silent
So its okay for Isarel to be an ethno-nationalist state for Jews, but not for Britain to be an ethno-nationalist state for indigenous British people.
At the same time the most vocal and prominent supporters of Israel Jews and non-Jews and Zionists of all religions and politics still call the BNP racist whilst defending Israels right to be 'jewish'.
There is no greater hypocrisy than the hypocrisy of the Jews, non-Jews and Zionists that support Israel but attack the BNP.
Netanyahu Warns Israeli Union of High Immigration Numbers

In a speech to the Manufacturers Association, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of the dangers of high immigration numbers. Like the United States, workers unions in Israel want an increase in immigration numbers, but Netanyahu is looking to pass strict immigration enforcement laws.
"You will not like this, but we plan to legislate strict laws and enforce them with a firm hand against the illegal employment of infiltrators and foreign workers," Netanyahu told the Manufacturers Association.
The Prime Minister also spoke about the "cultural, social, and economic damage" created by accepting a large number of immigrants. With an unsecured border with Egypt and close proximity to other Third World nations, Israel's economic success and prosperity has led to immigration issues much like the United States.
"Anyone walking around Arad, Eilat, or even south Tel Aviv today, can see this wave, and the change it is creating, with their own eyes," Netanyahu said. "They are causing socio-economic and cultural damage and threaten to take us back down to the level of the Third World. They take the jobs of the weakest Israelis."
A proposed immigration enforcement bill in Israel would construct a fence along the Egyptian border and calls for stricter penalties for Israelis who help illegal crossings.
"This is a strategic decision, that will ensure the Jewish and democratic character of the State of Israel," Netanyahu said. "Israel will remain open to war refugees, but will not allow its borders to be used to flood it will illegal foreign workers."

Church of England Hypocrites
The Church of England bishops in the House of Lords worked together to strike down the section of the Equality Bill that would have forced Churches to accept homosexuals and women, in effect they acted to ensure they could lawfully discriminate against homosexuals and women within the Church whilst also discriminating against the BNP and its members.
Note that the Church has not fought against other sections of the Equality Bill such as the parts of legalising anti-white racism, legalising racist affirmative action and positive discrimination plans and ensuring racial discrimination against whites is legalised.
As one the bloggers on the article on Norman Tebbits blog wrote ;
A pyrrhic victory for the god-botherers.
To paraphrase that clown Sentamu, if religious freedom means anything, it apparently means the right to continue to vilify and discriminate against those the religious don’t like.
( Like the BNP )
Yet again organised religion has shown itself to be backward and prejudiced, and indeed two-faced – demanding the right not be be discriminated against because of its beliefs, yet advancing those same beliefs as conveying the right to discriminate against others.
(Like BNP members).
What a hoot too from Normo Tebbs about “the Church of England falling victim to foreign control after all these years” – this comes after a senile German based in Italy has signalled his attempt to repossess parts of the CofE with his ordinariate offer!
( So the Church of England now knows that in order for Britain to become under the control of the EU has to surrender not just Parliament to the EU but also the Church of England to Rome.
But will the Church wake up.
Not likely )

White Working Class Devils
For the toxic middle class white liberals, the only people who have a voice as regards the plight of the white working class are middle class non-whites.
If working class whites speak out about the plight of the white working class then they are called racists, as only middle class non-whites are authorised to acknowledge the existence and plight of the white working class.
The only voices allowed the white working class are people like Bonnie Greer, Harriet Harman and other middle class 'professionals'.
Whilst Muslims and blacks and Jews and others are ;
a) Allowed to organise as a community in the multi-cultural system
b) Receive council, government and lottery funding for such activities
c) Running charities for their own benefit as a group and community
d) Running their own community centres and legal and lobby groups
e) Running their own media wings via the BBC eg The Indian Channel
Not one of the above exists for British whites, let alone be run by British whites.
We are the most discriminated against community in Britain.
The article below reflects a real perception of the white working class by the white liberal middle class, fear, hatred and loathing.
They really see white working class children as 'devils'.
Only non-whites can raise the issue of white working class suffering, as the white liberal middle class hate to be reminded of the white working class as they are too busy weeping over kids in Haiti and organising raffles, plays and jumble sales to help them, whilst seeing their own people as 'devils' and dehumanised.
Rigged offers sympathy for the little white devils
White working-class boys have been demonised as shiftless and violent, but Ashmeed Sohoye’s play gets under their skin to tell a different story

Paul Clerkin as Gary and Kyle Summercorn as Nathan in Rigged
Not a week goes by, it seems, without some new report outlining how white working-class boys are underachieving at school. According to Ofsted, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and the Institute of Education, white males from low-income groups get fewer GCSEs than any other ethnic group — fewer even than the poorest children from homes where English is a second language.
Rigged, a drama that has been touring British schools and which now starts a nationwide theatre tour, is a rare attempt to explore this situation. The irony is that it has been written by a British Asian, Ashmeed Sohoye.
Sohoye knows this subject well. As well as writing plays (he previously worked as a literary manager at the Theatre Royal Stratford East and at the Soho Theatre), he works as a learning mentor in a North London comprehensive.
“My job is to remove the barriers to learning,” he says in a small office filled with dozens of case reports. “If students are being disruptive, or turning up late, or doing badly in lessons, the head of year will refer them to a learning mentor such as myself. We talk to them, one to one, and find out what the problems are, before liaising with their home.”

The children that Sohoye works with every day are the archetypes demonised in news reports — usually male, often disruptive, often from problematic homes. “For me, they’re not archetypes, they’re real people, with real lives.” The lead character of Rigged is Nathan, a violent 16-year-old on the verge of exclusion from school. His girlfriend is a bright student who finds herself pregnant, his mum is illiterate, and his stepfather is a drunk and a gambler. Somehow, Rigged brings these abstract, sociological ciphers to life.
“These are people we are supposed to despise,” says the play’s director, Natalie Wilson, “but Ashmeed’s script makes us care about them. The four characters are inarticulate people. They don’t have the language to reflect their emotions. What Ashmeed does is allow the story to emerge through subtext, through what they don’t say. A lot of writers don’t trust their audiences enough to do that.”
Theatre Centre, the veteran touring company that commissioned the work, has a reputation for using multiracial casts. Here they made a conscious decision to make Rigged an all-white production.
“Some people might find that odd,” Sohoye says. “I’m from an Asian-Caribbean background. My parents were Muslims from Guyana. I grew up in Tottenham and went to a school that was predominantly African-Caribbean. So you might wonder why I should be so interested in white working-class youth. But why wouldn’t I be interested? These are stories I see every day.”
How helpful is it constantly to view these things through the prism of race?
“From my experience, there really isn’t much racial tension in multicultural schools like this one,” he says. “What I was more interested in was how different ethnic groups tend to have different expectations of education and different relationships with authority institutions.
“A cousin of mine used to work in an employment agency and he talked about the ‘lads with dads’ — white kids could come out of school with no qualifications but within a few weeks they’d be starting an apprenticeship with their dad or one of their dad’s friends. That informal system has broken down, and that has affected the white working classes more than anyone else.”
Sohoye suggests that the increased atomisation of society over the past 30 years has affected the white working classes more than other ethnic groups.
“Traditionally the middle classes had a sense of responsibility towards the working classes. After Thatcher, and the belief that there was no such thing as society, I think that moral leadership broke down. It’s been replaced by a kind of contempt and fear for the white working classes. Policies such as selling off the stock of council housing has impacted on poorer white families more than other people.
“I’m also interested in how different working-class ethnic groups interface with middle-class institutions — the State, the trade unions, the police, the Church, the Army. Black and Asian people have never expected those institutions to help them. But in established white working-class communities, there remains an expectation, together with a lower expectation of social mobility.”
Is Rigged agit-prop theatre? “I prefer to see it as a state-of-the-nation piece,” Sohoye says. “But where state-of-the-nation dramas tend to be about big institutions or politics, this is a very human tale from a working-class perspective. When I was younger I used to insist that I was writing about class and race and cultural identity. Actually, I think I’m writing about compassion.”
It’s sometimes hard to feel much compassion for the lead character in Rigged, a violent bully with an ASBO. “Nathan is easy to hate,” Sohoye says. “Myself and the director agreed that, when casting him, we had to believe that this guy could randomly beat up a kid in the playground without any compunction.
“The thing is, I meet boys like Nathan all the time. One to one, they are shy, frightened children. You quickly realise that there are always underlying reasons for their behaviour. Often there’s a harrowing story of how violence has been bred into them through bad parenting. They might need stability, they might need male role models, or they might need an adult to talk to. These are all things we can change. The first thing you have to do is make sure that their stories are being told.”

If working class whites speak out about the plight of the white working class then they are called racists, as only middle class non-whites are authorised to acknowledge the existence and plight of the white working class.
The only voices allowed the white working class are people like Bonnie Greer, Harriet Harman and other middle class 'professionals'.
Whilst Muslims and blacks and Jews and others are ;
a) Allowed to organise as a community in the multi-cultural system
b) Receive council, government and lottery funding for such activities
c) Running charities for their own benefit as a group and community
d) Running their own community centres and legal and lobby groups
e) Running their own media wings via the BBC eg The Indian Channel
Not one of the above exists for British whites, let alone be run by British whites.
We are the most discriminated against community in Britain.
The article below reflects a real perception of the white working class by the white liberal middle class, fear, hatred and loathing.
They really see white working class children as 'devils'.
Only non-whites can raise the issue of white working class suffering, as the white liberal middle class hate to be reminded of the white working class as they are too busy weeping over kids in Haiti and organising raffles, plays and jumble sales to help them, whilst seeing their own people as 'devils' and dehumanised.
Rigged offers sympathy for the little white devils
White working-class boys have been demonised as shiftless and violent, but Ashmeed Sohoye’s play gets under their skin to tell a different story

Paul Clerkin as Gary and Kyle Summercorn as Nathan in Rigged
Not a week goes by, it seems, without some new report outlining how white working-class boys are underachieving at school. According to Ofsted, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and the Institute of Education, white males from low-income groups get fewer GCSEs than any other ethnic group — fewer even than the poorest children from homes where English is a second language.
Rigged, a drama that has been touring British schools and which now starts a nationwide theatre tour, is a rare attempt to explore this situation. The irony is that it has been written by a British Asian, Ashmeed Sohoye.
Sohoye knows this subject well. As well as writing plays (he previously worked as a literary manager at the Theatre Royal Stratford East and at the Soho Theatre), he works as a learning mentor in a North London comprehensive.
“My job is to remove the barriers to learning,” he says in a small office filled with dozens of case reports. “If students are being disruptive, or turning up late, or doing badly in lessons, the head of year will refer them to a learning mentor such as myself. We talk to them, one to one, and find out what the problems are, before liaising with their home.”

The children that Sohoye works with every day are the archetypes demonised in news reports — usually male, often disruptive, often from problematic homes. “For me, they’re not archetypes, they’re real people, with real lives.” The lead character of Rigged is Nathan, a violent 16-year-old on the verge of exclusion from school. His girlfriend is a bright student who finds herself pregnant, his mum is illiterate, and his stepfather is a drunk and a gambler. Somehow, Rigged brings these abstract, sociological ciphers to life.
“These are people we are supposed to despise,” says the play’s director, Natalie Wilson, “but Ashmeed’s script makes us care about them. The four characters are inarticulate people. They don’t have the language to reflect their emotions. What Ashmeed does is allow the story to emerge through subtext, through what they don’t say. A lot of writers don’t trust their audiences enough to do that.”
Theatre Centre, the veteran touring company that commissioned the work, has a reputation for using multiracial casts. Here they made a conscious decision to make Rigged an all-white production.
“Some people might find that odd,” Sohoye says. “I’m from an Asian-Caribbean background. My parents were Muslims from Guyana. I grew up in Tottenham and went to a school that was predominantly African-Caribbean. So you might wonder why I should be so interested in white working-class youth. But why wouldn’t I be interested? These are stories I see every day.”
How helpful is it constantly to view these things through the prism of race?
“From my experience, there really isn’t much racial tension in multicultural schools like this one,” he says. “What I was more interested in was how different ethnic groups tend to have different expectations of education and different relationships with authority institutions.
“A cousin of mine used to work in an employment agency and he talked about the ‘lads with dads’ — white kids could come out of school with no qualifications but within a few weeks they’d be starting an apprenticeship with their dad or one of their dad’s friends. That informal system has broken down, and that has affected the white working classes more than anyone else.”
Sohoye suggests that the increased atomisation of society over the past 30 years has affected the white working classes more than other ethnic groups.
“Traditionally the middle classes had a sense of responsibility towards the working classes. After Thatcher, and the belief that there was no such thing as society, I think that moral leadership broke down. It’s been replaced by a kind of contempt and fear for the white working classes. Policies such as selling off the stock of council housing has impacted on poorer white families more than other people.
“I’m also interested in how different working-class ethnic groups interface with middle-class institutions — the State, the trade unions, the police, the Church, the Army. Black and Asian people have never expected those institutions to help them. But in established white working-class communities, there remains an expectation, together with a lower expectation of social mobility.”
Is Rigged agit-prop theatre? “I prefer to see it as a state-of-the-nation piece,” Sohoye says. “But where state-of-the-nation dramas tend to be about big institutions or politics, this is a very human tale from a working-class perspective.

1.7 Million British Kids In Poverty
Whilst we hold the gates to our nation open and invite the whole world to pour in, we neglect our own people.
Such is the poison of the Liberal Society, a place where the rich and middle class will walk past a Briton sleeping on the streets in order to donate money in their banks for Haiti.
http://www.presstv.com/detail.aspx?id=117091§ionid=351020601
Over 1.7 million British youngsters live in "severe poverty," deprived of adequate food and clothing, a children's charity has revealed.
The research conducted by Save the Children organization showed that by the end of year 2008, the number of impoverished children in the UK had risen by 260,000, that is two percentage points higher than what was calculated in 2004-05.
England and Wales have been hit worse by the increase, where some 13% of all children are extremely poor.
In Scotland the figure stands at 9%, while in Northern Ireland 8% of youngsters live in severe poverty, the charity added.
As the data was gathered during the four years before the recession, meaning between years 2004 to 2008, it means that the fight against child poverty has not only stalled, but has also "slid into reverse."
"It's shocking that at a time when the UK was experiencing unprecedented levels of wealth the number of children living in severe poverty actually increased," Fergus Drake, Director of the UK programs for the charity said.
He also warned that "with unemployment expected to increase," there is a danger that the numbers of the severely poor could rise even further
According to the Save the Children criteria, those living in households with incomes of less than 50% of the UK median income and those missing certain basic possessions, such as a winter coats, were categorized as severely poor.

LORD PEARSON EXPOSED BY UKIP MEMBER
For those with interest in such things, the revelation from a top UKIP insider about the forthcoming legal case with the Electoral Commission is most interesting.
On the democracy forum thread here ;
http://www.democracyforum.co.uk/ukip/71559-whats-happening-over-750000-electoral-commission-case.html
You will read a statement from a chap called Baron Von Lotsov.
Those on the BDF forum know this chap has some high level contacts in UKIP and his latest post states ;
Lord Pearson says he has it covered as he has been talking to hedge fund managers about their new EU regulations designed to put them out of business. He says they have got it. So I conclude from that they will be voting UKIP. This is why I was so in favour of Lord Pearson becoming leader. He has the backing of some very rich people.
This is a very interesting statement. First it confirms that in effect Lord Pearson bought UKIP from Nigel Farage with a promise to cover the parties debts and not drag its leaders and MEP's into debt with it.
Secondly it reveals that Lord Pearson is in effect the puppet of powerful corporate interests, either British, American or Israeli. The fact that the hedge fund backers behind UKIP have promised to save the party is if they expect to get something out of it when they get elected.
Now the only benefits to hedge funds would be if UKIP had the policy of withdrawing from the EU, withdrawing our holdings from the EU and convert our primary exchange currency as the dollar.
In effect we would be subsidising the Federal Reserve by swopping Euro's for Dollars.
Therefore the main beneficiaries of such a policy would be American Hedge Funds, and therefore the corporate interests behind UKIP are globalist as opposed to European.
We would merely be exchanging one set of old chains for another.
At this point in history the US Empire is about to collapse.
Peak Oil will destroy the Petro-Dollar Recycling System.
Fractional Reserve Banking has ensured that long term investment into essential infra-structure renewal projects has instead been lost by being put into capital destroying speculative bubbles that have consumed vast amounts of capital in their expansion and collapse.
Quantative Easing has ensured that the vast amounts of money printed today has no value anymore, this is because other than by attaching its value as an increase in the size of the economy fiat money has no value, and the chances of the value being attached to the billions borrowed has been wrecked by the Credit Crunch which has destroyed future economic growth for decades in order to repay the debt.
Therefore massive inflation looms.
To attach ourselves to the dollar is the equivalent of tying yourself to the anchor just as the ship is about to sink.
Its not a good idea really.
Therefore we have a situation where the corporate interests of UKIP threaten to drag Britain into a global economic collapse led by the fall of the dollar.
What is the point of ending domination by Europe for domination by America.
The Iraq War debacle shows us the danger of being too closely aligned to the US corporate interests and its Military-Industrial-Media Blocs.
Therefore a vote for UKIP is a vote for servitude and military service in wars fought by the US Empire.
UKIP is a hobby for rich men and hedge funds, it is not a political party that British Nationalists and patriots can trust.
Lord Pearson truly has the backing of some rich and powerful people, the questions is in whose interests are they giving UKIP the money.
I doubt it is in the interest of Britain.

A Letter For Bonnie Greer - Britains Biggest Bore
Dear Bonnie,
Is there no end to your insufferable American vainglorious self promotion and baseless bragging ?
You appear on a rigged TV show with a rigged audience with a rigged panel to take on ONE man, join in the demeaning and frankly sickening hate fest, and then think this makes you intelligent, moral or wise.
You are none of the above, you are simply another product of the multi-cultural system, a rider on the race relations gravy train exploiting the system for all you can.
Now Bonnie dear how about having a fair debate with someone from the BNP, like Simon Darby or me.
One to one in a studio with a no holds barred debate without the dealer rigging the game in your favour.
To be frank, you have become a bore with your endless insufferable prattle about your 'good works' to defeat the BNP.
Perhaps you really do think you are a secular saint, Saint Bonnie of the Cult of Multi-culturalism.
Dear Bonnie, instead of opening you big gob all the time and bigging it up, how about walking the walk.
Hold a real debate with the BNP, not the fake hate fest that the BBC set up with its audience of white middle class liberals and ethnic middle class hypocrites.
But you wont will you Bonnie, for you enjoy the fake kudos of a fake victory.
Its a pity that you think the howl of the happy dogs in the media is the applause of impressed people.
I wasnt impressed Bonnie.
In fact I thought you were a vapid, shallow twat with an ego the size of America itself.
You reinforced for me the fact that you are not British and will never be in terms of character.
You may have a piece of paper that says you are British but where it counts, in relation to character, you will never be British.
The British people dont like bullies.
The British people dont like to see people being bullied.
The British people always stand up for the little guy, and you Bonnie, well you are the establishment in all its bloated, flatulence filled glory.
The British people dont like braggarts.
The British people dont like pompous idiots with their heads up their own arses.
The British people dont like being told what to think, especially by people who have nothing to say.
The British people dont like people who think that putting the boot in when someone is on the ground is okay and then exploiting that for personal gain is acceptable.
Thats why you wont ever be British Bonnie, even if you have a British passport.
Because you will always be an American where it really counts - in your soul, mind and actions.
You are just George Bush with a vagina and chip on your shoulder, an extension of the same arrogance, insufferable pompousness and self righteousness that Bush suffered from.
Jog on Bonnie, jog on.

Zionism, a poem.
Zionism, a poem.
It exists, but you dare not speak its name,
The Zionist beast that keeps us in chains,
For upon the throne of Babylon it sits,
Spewing a myriad lies from its red lips,
That slither and slide into ears and eyes,
Then settle within as an established lie,
A snarl of sinister hissing serpents,
Controlling the conditioned consciousness,
And all who proclaim their false loyalty,
Are richly rewarded with a false liberty,
All the rotting fruits of a poison garden,
Where lambs are fed to laughing lions,
Are given to thee, and every dark pleasure,
The soul debased, trinkets thought treasures,
But beauty is a pale corpse, art an abortion,
and the noblest virtue is rankest treason,
Gripping our governments by the hair,
Always seeking dissenters, always aware,
Its gold crown of power encircles the planet,
Inset with the jewels of usury and profit,
And so the beast will proclaim its new war,
To the corporate media, its willing whores,
And the masses will bow their bloody backs,
As traitors break our youth upon their racks,
Until desert roses bloom a fiery nuclear red,
And the dust deals Persia its lingering death.
Dr. Kelly Was Murdered
There is only one reason to hide these findings, as they implicate someone in a murder.
If the people who killed Dr. Kelly were prepared to kill someone with as much of a high profile as Dr. Kelly, then they would also probably be prepared to kill the judge who released the files that revealed their crimes.
So the judge must be scared of someone.
I suspect this had to be an operation by a top secret US assassination team in the CIA.
We know that President G.W. Bush authorised Dick Cheney the setting up of such a team after 911.
http://www.minnpost.com/ericblackblog/2009/03/11/7310/investigative_reporter_seymour_hersh_describes_executive_assassination_ring
"Right now, today, there was a story in the New York Times that if you read it carefully mentioned something known as the Joint Special Operations Command -- JSOC it’s called. It is a special wing of our special operations community that is set up independently. They do not report to anybody, except in the Bush-Cheney days, they reported directly to the Cheney office. They did not report to the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff or to Mr. [Robert] Gates, the secretary of defense. They reported directly to him. ...
"Congress has no oversight of it. It’s an executive assassination ring essentially, and it’s been going on and on and on. Just today in the Times there was a story that its leaders, a three star admiral named [William H.] McRaven, ordered a stop to it because there were so many collateral deaths.
"Under President Bush’s authority, they’ve been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving. That’s been going on, in the name of all of us.
"It’s complicated because the guys doing it are not murderers, and yet they are committing what we would normally call murder. It’s a very complicated issue. Because they are young men that went into the Special Forces. The Delta Forces you’ve heard about. Navy Seal teams. Highly specialized.
"In many cases, they were the best and the brightest. Really, no exaggerations. Really fine guys that went in to do the kind of necessary jobs that they think you need to do to protect America. And then they find themselves torturing people.
"I’ve had people say to me -- five years ago, I had one say: ‘What do you call it when you interrogate somebody and you leave them bleeding and they don’t get any medical committee and two days later he dies. Is that murder? What happens if I get before a committee?’
"But they’re not gonna get before a committee.”

Dr. Kelly was prepared to reveal that Saddam Hussein had destroyed his chemical weapons stocks and therefore reveal that the entire case for war was bogus.
I believe the plan was to frighten him into keeping quiet and if he did not agree to do so, then he was murdered.
Those who think their governments are not prepared to murder for power or profit are the same fools that keep voting them into power.

David Kelly post mortem to be kept secret for 70 years as doctors accuse Lord Hutton of concealing vital information
By Miles Goslett

Vital evidence which could solve the mystery of the death of Government weapons inspector Dr David Kelly will be kept under wraps for up to 70 years.
In a draconian – and highly unusual – order, Lord Hutton, the peer who chaired the controversial inquiry into the Dr Kelly scandal, has secretly barred the release of all medical records, including the results of the post mortem, and unpublished evidence.
The move, which will stoke fresh speculation about the true circumstances of Dr Kelly’s death, comes just days before Tony Blair appears before the Chilcot Inquiry into the Iraq War.
It is also bound to revive claims of an establishment cover-up and fresh questions about the verdict that Dr Kelly killed himself.
Dr David Kelly
Whistle-blower: Dr Kelly died after casting doubt on Government claims about Saddam's weapons
Tonight, Dr Michael Powers QC, a doctor campaigning to overturn the Hutton findings, said: ‘What is it about David Kelly’s death which is so secret as to justify these reports being kept out of the public domain for 70 years?’
Campaigning Liberal Democrat MP Norman Baker, who has also questioned the verdict that Dr Kelly committed suicide, said: ‘It is astonishing this is the first we’ve known about this decision by Lord Hutton and even more astonishing he should have seen fit to hide this material away.’
The body of former United Nations weapons inspector Dr Kelly was found in July 2003 in woods close to his Oxfordshire home, shortly after he was exposed as the source of a BBC news report questioning the Government’s claims that
Saddam Hussein had an arsenal of weapons of mass destruction, which could be deployed within 45 minutes.
Lord Hutton’s 2004 report, commissioned by Mr Blair, concluded that Dr Kelly killed himself by cutting his wrist with a blunt gardening knife.

Tragic: Forensic experts at work in the Oxfordshire woods where Dr Kelly's body was found in 2003
It was dismissed by many experts as a whitewash for clearing the Government of any culpability, despite evidence that it had leaked Dr Kelly’s name in an attempt to smear him.
Only now has it emerged that a year after his inquiry was completed, Lord Hutton took unprecedented action to ensure that the vital evidence remains a state secret for so long.
A letter, leaked to The Mail on Sunday, revealed that a 30-year ban was placed on ‘records provided [which were] not produced in evidence’. This is thought to refer to witness statements given to the inquiry which were not disclosed at the time.
In addition, it has now been established that Lord Hutton ordered all medical reports – including the post-mortem findings by pathologist Dr Nicholas Hunt and photographs of Dr Kelly’s body – to remain classified information for 70 years.
Dr David Kelly
The move will stoke fresh speculation about the true circumstances of Dr Kelly's death
The normal rules on post-mortems allow close relatives and ‘properly interested persons’ to apply to see a copy of the report and to ‘inspect’ other documents.
Lord Hutton’s measure has overridden these rules, so the files will not be opened until all such people are likely to be dead.
Last night, the Ministry of Justice was unable to explain the legal basis for Lord Hutton’s order.
The restrictions came to light in a letter from the legal team of Oxfordshire County Council to a group of doctors who are challenging the Hutton verdict.
Last year, a group of doctors, including Dr Powers, compiled a medical dossier as part of their legal challenge to the Hutton verdict.
They argue that Hutton’s conclusion that Dr Kelly killed himself by severing the ulnar artery in his left wrist after taking an overdose of prescription painkillers is untenable because the artery is small and difficult to access, and severing it could not have caused death.
In their 12-page opinion, they concluded: ‘The bleeding from Dr Kelly’s ulnar artery is highly unlikely to have been so voluminous and rapid that it was the cause of death. We advise the instructing solicitors to obtain the autopsy reports so that the concerns of a group of properly interested medical specialists can be answered.’
Tonight, Dr Powers, a former assistant coroner, added: ‘Supposedly all evidence relevant to the cause of death has been heard in public at the time of Lord Hutton’s inquiry. If these secret reports support the suicide finding, what could they contain that could be so sensitive?’
The letter disclosing the 70-year restriction was written by Nick Graham, assistant head of legal and democratic services at Oxfordshire Council.
It states: ‘Lord Hutton made a request for the records provided to the inquiry, not produced in evidence, to be closed for 30 years, and that medical (including post-mortem) reports and photographs be closed for 70 years.’
Nicholas Gardiner, the Chief Coroner for Oxfordshire, confirmed that he had seen the letter.
Lord Hutton
Order: Lord Hutton has secretly barred the release of all medical records, including the results of the post mortem
Speaking to The Mail on Sunday today, he said: ‘I know that Lord Hutton made that recommendation. Someone told me at the time. Anybody concerned will be dead by then, and that is quite clearly Lord Hutton’s intention.’
Asked what was in the records that made it necessary for them to be embargoed, Mr Gardiner said: ‘They’re Lord Hutton’s records not mine. You’d have to ask him.’
He added that in his opinion Lord Hutton had embargoed the records to protect Dr Kelly’s children.
The inquest into Dr Kelly’s death was suspended before it could begin by the then Lord Chancellor Lord Falconer. He used the Coroners Act to designate the Hutton Inquiry as ‘fulfilling the function of an inquest’.
News that the records will be kept secret comes just days before Mr Blair gives evidence to the Chilcot Inquiry on Friday.
To date, Dr Kelly’s name has scarcely been mentioned at the inquiry. One source who held a private meeting with Sir John Chilcot before the proceedings began said that Sir John had admitted he ‘did not want to touch the Kelly issue’ .
A spokesman for the Ministry of Justice said: ‘Any decision made by Lord Hutton at the time of his inquiry was entirely a matter for him.’
A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said yesterday that it would not be possible to search their records during the weekend.
The Mail on Sunday was unable to contact Lord Hutton.

If the people who killed Dr. Kelly were prepared to kill someone with as much of a high profile as Dr. Kelly, then they would also probably be prepared to kill the judge who released the files that revealed their crimes.
So the judge must be scared of someone.
I suspect this had to be an operation by a top secret US assassination team in the CIA.
We know that President G.W. Bush authorised Dick Cheney the setting up of such a team after 911.

"Right now, today, there was a story in the New York Times that if you read it carefully mentioned something known as the Joint Special Operations Command -- JSOC it’s called. It is a special wing of our special operations community that is set up independently. They do not report to anybody, except in the Bush-Cheney days, they reported directly to the Cheney office. They did not report to the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff or to Mr. [Robert] Gates, the secretary of defense. They reported directly to him. ...
"Congress has no oversight of it. It’s an executive assassination ring essentially, and it’s been going on and on and on. Just today in the Times there was a story that its leaders, a three star admiral named [William H.] McRaven, ordered a stop to it because there were so many collateral deaths.
"Under President Bush’s authority, they’ve been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving. That’s been going on, in the name of all of us.
"It’s complicated because the guys doing it are not murderers, and yet they are committing what we would normally call murder. It’s a very complicated issue. Because they are young men that went into the Special Forces. The Delta Forces you’ve heard about. Navy Seal teams. Highly specialized.
"In many cases, they were the best and the brightest. Really, no exaggerations. Really fine guys that went in to do the kind of necessary jobs that they think you need to do to protect America. And then they find themselves torturing people.
"I’ve had people say to me -- five years ago, I had one say: ‘What do you call it when you interrogate somebody and you leave them bleeding and they don’t get any medical committee and two days later he dies. Is that murder? What happens if I get before a committee?’
"But they’re not gonna get before a committee.”

Dr. Kelly was prepared to reveal that Saddam Hussein had destroyed his chemical weapons stocks and therefore reveal that the entire case for war was bogus.
I believe the plan was to frighten him into keeping quiet and if he did not agree to do so, then he was murdered.
Those who think their governments are not prepared to murder for power or profit are the same fools that keep voting them into power.

David Kelly post mortem to be kept secret for 70 years as doctors accuse Lord Hutton of concealing vital information

Vital evidence which could solve the mystery of the death of Government weapons inspector Dr David Kelly will be kept under wraps for up to 70 years.
In a draconian – and highly unusual – order, Lord Hutton, the peer who chaired the controversial inquiry into the Dr Kelly scandal, has secretly barred the release of all medical records, including the results of the post mortem, and unpublished evidence.
The move, which will stoke fresh speculation about the true circumstances of Dr Kelly’s death, comes just days before Tony Blair appears before the Chilcot Inquiry into the Iraq War.
It is also bound to revive claims of an establishment cover-up and fresh questions about the verdict that Dr Kelly killed himself.
Dr David Kelly
Whistle-blower: Dr Kelly died after casting doubt on Government claims about Saddam's weapons
Tonight, Dr Michael Powers QC, a doctor campaigning to overturn the Hutton findings, said: ‘What is it about David Kelly’s death which is so secret as to justify these reports being kept out of the public domain for 70 years?’
Campaigning Liberal Democrat MP Norman Baker, who has also questioned the verdict that Dr Kelly committed suicide, said: ‘It is astonishing this is the first we’ve known about this decision by Lord Hutton and even more astonishing he should have seen fit to hide this material away.’
The body of former United Nations weapons inspector Dr Kelly was found in July 2003 in woods close to his Oxfordshire home, shortly after he was exposed as the source of a BBC news report questioning the Government’s claims that
Saddam Hussein had an arsenal of weapons of mass destruction, which could be deployed within 45 minutes.
Lord Hutton’s 2004 report, commissioned by Mr Blair, concluded that Dr Kelly killed himself by cutting his wrist with a blunt gardening knife.

Tragic: Forensic experts at work in the Oxfordshire woods where Dr Kelly's body was found in 2003
It was dismissed by many experts as a whitewash for clearing the Government of any culpability, despite evidence that it had leaked Dr Kelly’s name in an attempt to smear him.
Only now has it emerged that a year after his inquiry was completed, Lord Hutton took unprecedented action to ensure that the vital evidence remains a state secret for so long.
A letter, leaked to The Mail on Sunday, revealed that a 30-year ban was placed on ‘records provided [which were] not produced in evidence’. This is thought to refer to witness statements given to the inquiry which were not disclosed at the time.
In addition, it has now been established that Lord Hutton ordered all medical reports – including the post-mortem findings by pathologist Dr Nicholas Hunt and photographs of Dr Kelly’s body – to remain classified information for 70 years.
Dr David Kelly
The move will stoke fresh speculation about the true circumstances of Dr Kelly's death
The normal rules on post-mortems allow close relatives and ‘properly interested persons’ to apply to see a copy of the report and to ‘inspect’ other documents.
Lord Hutton’s measure has overridden these rules, so the files will not be opened until all such people are likely to be dead.
Last night, the Ministry of Justice was unable to explain the legal basis for Lord Hutton’s order.
The restrictions came to light in a letter from the legal team of Oxfordshire County Council to a group of doctors who are challenging the Hutton verdict.
Last year, a group of doctors, including Dr Powers, compiled a medical dossier as part of their legal challenge to the Hutton verdict.
They argue that Hutton’s conclusion that Dr Kelly killed himself by severing the ulnar artery in his left wrist after taking an overdose of prescription painkillers is untenable because the artery is small and difficult to access, and severing it could not have caused death.
In their 12-page opinion, they concluded: ‘The bleeding from Dr Kelly’s ulnar artery is highly unlikely to have been so voluminous and rapid that it was the cause of death. We advise the instructing solicitors to obtain the autopsy reports so that the concerns of a group of properly interested medical specialists can be answered.’
Tonight, Dr Powers, a former assistant coroner, added: ‘Supposedly all evidence relevant to the cause of death has been heard in public at the time of Lord Hutton’s inquiry. If these secret reports support the suicide finding, what could they contain that could be so sensitive?’
The letter disclosing the 70-year restriction was written by Nick Graham, assistant head of legal and democratic services at Oxfordshire Council.
It states: ‘Lord Hutton made a request for the records provided to the inquiry, not produced in evidence, to be closed for 30 years, and that medical (including post-mortem) reports and photographs be closed for 70 years.’
Nicholas Gardiner, the Chief Coroner for Oxfordshire, confirmed that he had seen the letter.
Lord Hutton
Order: Lord Hutton has secretly barred the release of all medical records, including the results of the post mortem
Speaking to The Mail on Sunday today, he said: ‘I know that Lord Hutton made that recommendation. Someone told me at the time. Anybody concerned will be dead by then, and that is quite clearly Lord Hutton’s intention.’
Asked what was in the records that made it necessary for them to be embargoed, Mr Gardiner said: ‘They’re Lord Hutton’s records not mine. You’d have to ask him.’
He added that in his opinion Lord Hutton had embargoed the records to protect Dr Kelly’s children.

The Black Sun
The Fallen
Look at them all, gaze into their eyes,
Seek the true measure of the men,
For you sent them to war with lies,
And to fight and die in distant lands.
Yet our heroes fell unsullied by sin,
And they rise as immaculate angels,
Heroes defined by their brave deeds,
Whispering as they die for their mothers.
They did not kill for profits or prophets,
Nor for oil and Israel, nor pipelines too,
They bore arms in defence of Britain,
But were betrayed by their own clansmen.
In the dust and heat of distant lands,
The boys at war soon become men,
And if death greets them on the road,
They shall live on, their souls hallowed.
And they shall rise, resplendent,
When Albion returns renewed,
And armoured with holy vision,
Be as new suns, burning in the blue.
The darkness shall flee and a new dawn rise,
And lady hope will bless us with a reprise,
Her fingers will pluck upon the sacred strings,
And her sacred harp thrill, as a new song begins.
But your hell will be a cold prison cell,
With pictures painted on its bare walls,
The faces of every fallen British soldier,
Who you led with lies into the slaughter.
The Anti-White Society
Go to any city, any town and any community and look for a single White Indigenous British Community Centre, a lobby group that represents the interests of the White indigenous British, a charity that looks after the interests of the white British, any professional body that represents the interests of the White British workers, any trade union, any organisation - and you will find none.
Yet the moron David Cameron wants to hand public tax payers money to charities to take charge of public functions, such as housing and welfare benefits, yet not one body represents the interests of our people in the multi-cultural system and process, so we will be abandoned and betrayed at the same time as we fund the system with our taxes.
The same charities that do not represent our people, have tens of thousands of charities for blacks, jews, asylum seekers, muslims and lesbians and gays.
But not one for the White British working class, White British children, White British pensioners, White British disabled - whilst all the established charities will have to under the Equality Act use positive discrimination in its employment practices and the delivery of functions and thereby put the interests of ethnic minorities first - thereby institutionalising racial discrimination against British whites, the white working class, the English and the white British people.
New Labour have created the most racist anti-white society in human history.
New Labour = The New Nazis.

Recession creating 'sense of victimhood' among white working class
Absence of community groups commonly found in areas with high minority ethnic populations blamed

White working-class communities are struggling to deal with the recession because of a lack of civil society, a leading charity claims. According to a new report by the Barrow Cadbury Trust, an absence of the community groups commonly found in areas with high minority ethnic populations is giving white communities "nothing but a shared sense of victimhood".
The study of deprived districts in Birmingham found that predominantly white council wards, which have traditionally been seen as "privet-hedged middling suburbs", lacked community structures such as churches, mosques and youth groups that have helped ease the impact of economic decline in wards with high minority ethnic populations.
The charity said there was a critical need to rethink how the city tackles deprivation and how it can boost employment opportunities, especially with the prospect of more job losses, following Kraft's takeover of Cadbury, which was founded in Birmingham and still has a factory there.
Phoebe Griffiths, research and partnerships manager at the trust, said: "All ethnic groups have been affected by Birmingham's economic decline, but the closure of factories and plants has been particularly bad for the white workers who made up most of their workforce.
"Working-class jobs that offered status, reasonable wages, and a sense of pride and community have been substituted, if at all, by poor quality service jobs in local food outlets, supermarkets and commission-based sales work."
The study found informal groups based at mosques, temples and churches, as well as youth clubs and groups for women and pensioners helped to improve social cohesion and mutual support among high minority ethnic populations in inner city areas. However in outer city areas, researchers found that the white population felt less in control of their communities as there were fewer such local groups.
But the trust said that its findings should not be used as another excuse to pit communities against each other. Without investment in community groups, it was easy for extremist groups to step into the gap, providing local activities and exploiting feelings of isolation.
"The BNP have become canny operators in local communities, reaching out to people through simple acts such as clearing rubbish or holding fetes," Griffiths said.
The report warns eye-catching regeneration initiatives in the city have failed to produce major adjustments in the relative position and hierarchy of neighbourhoods. The charity found that poverty is still concentrated in the same areas, with 13 of the 40 council wards remaining seriously deprived. The study claims Birmingham was suffering from economic decline even before the recession. It says that between 2001 and 2008 as wages rose across the country, the average wage in Birmingham fell by 3.5%.
Tom Aldred, an analyst at thinktank Centre for Cities, said that like other cities such as Newcastle and Sunderland, which have historically relied on a small number of large employers, Birmingham lacks entrepreneurial activity.
"The centre of the city has been physically transformed, but if you look at the economic data it has not been economically transformed. It has struggled to attract private sector jobs growth," he added.
"It has a strong university sector and needs to make better use of it to create new jobs and industries."
Birmingham city council said that it acknowledged the challenges but was committed to reducing the inequality gaps in the city.
A spokesman said: "Over the past 20 years the city council and its partners have through ... regeneration programmes and initiatives made a positive impact in many areas."
He added: "Our employment and skills strategy targets support those neighbourhoods, which have experienced persistent and high levels of unemployment and worklessness. This includes many inner city neighbourhoods, but also those neighbourhoods in many of the outer areas of the city, which have been previously ignored by regeneration initiatives."

US House Rep. Ron Paul says the CIA has in effect carried out a "coup" against the US government, and the intelligence agency needs to be "taken out."
Speaking to an audience of like-minded libertarians at a Campaign for Liberty regional conference in Atlanta this past weekend, the Texas Republican said:
There's been a coup, have you heard? It's the CIA coup. The CIA runs everything, they run the military. They're the ones who are over there lobbing missiles and bombs on countries. ... And of course the CIA is every bit as secretive as the Federal Reserve. ... And yet think of the harm they have done since they were established [after] World War II. They are a government unto themselves. They're in businesses, in drug businesses, they take out dictators ... We need to take out the CIA.
Paul's comments, made last weekend, were met with a loud round of applause, but they didn't gather attention until bloggers noticed a clip of the event at YouTube.
Paul appeared to be referring to news reports that the CIA is deeply involved in air strikes against Al Qaeda targets in Afghanistan and Pakistan. A suicide bombing late last year against Forward Operating Base Chapman in Afghanistan took the lives of seven of CIA operatives, including two contracted from Blackwater. The event highlighted the CIA's deep involvement in the war effort.

Hundreds of invasive species - from rats to diseases - are posing one of the greatest threats to wildlife around the world, conservationists warned today.
A study of 57 countries coordinated by the Global Invasive Species programme (pdf) found 542 types of animals and plants were putting native wildlife at risk in places where they are not naturally found.
On average, around 50 non-native species are having a negative impact on existing plants and animals in each country, ranging from nine in Equatorial Guinea to a massive 222 in New Zealand.
On the list of invasive aliens are 316 plants, 101 marine species, 44 freshwater fish, 43 mammals, 23 birds and 15 types of amphibian.
And the threat to native species from alien invaders is growing, the experts warned.
Invasive plants and animals are those which threaten native wildlife, by eating native species, laying eggs, damaging their habitat, spreading disease or by competing with them for the same "niche" in an ecosystem.
Many invasive species are successful because they have no natural predators in their new environment.
Examples of non-native species causing problems in the UK include grey squirrels, whose spread has led to widespread declines in red squirrels, the rampant plant Japanese knotweed, American signal crayfish and water primroses.
The study said that, globally, the increase and spread of invasive species is the result of a substantial rise in international trade in the past 25 years.
In some places invasive species are driving native wildlife towards extinction, for example in New Zealand where the yellowhead bird is now endangered because of a surge in the number of rats, while the chytrid fungus is spreading around the world causing massive declines in amphibians.
There are examples of success stories, in which threatened wildlife has bounced back after control measures were taken against the invasive species.
On Mexico's Natividad Island, the black-vented shearwater was at risk from the introduction of cats, goats and sheep, but its numbers are now recovering following an eradication programme.
And control of the red fox in south Western Australia has allowed the western brush wallaby to recover sufficiently for it to be downgraded on the "red list" of endangered species compiled by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
But while most countries have made commitments to tackle the threat of invasive species, only half have introduced legislation and even fewer are taking enough action on the ground, according to the IUCN.
Dr Stuart Butchart, from Birdlife International and one of the authors of the study, said: "While some threatened species on the IUCN red list have improved in status as a result of successful control or eradication of invasive alien species, a growing number are more threatened owing to increasing spread and threats from non-indigenous species.
"This shows that although we are winning some battles in the fight against invasive species, current evidence suggests that we are losing the war."

On Mexico's Natividad Island, the black-vented shearwater was at risk from the introduction of cats, goats and sheep, but its numbers are now recovering following an eradication programme.
And control of the red fox in south Western Australia has allowed the western brush wallaby to recover sufficiently for it to be downgraded on the "red list" of endangered species compiled by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
But while most countries have made commitments to tackle the threat of invasive species, only half have introduced legislation and even fewer are taking enough action on the ground, according to the IUCN.
Dr Stuart Butchart, from Birdlife International and one of the authors of the study, said: "While some threatened species on the IUCN red list have improved in status as a result of successful control or eradication of invasive alien species, a growing number are more threatened owing to increasing spread and threats from non-indigenous species.
"This shows that although we are winning some battles in the fight against invasive species, current evidence suggests that we are losing the war."
