Numercide: When doctors use numbers to prescribe medicines to healthy people – The Expose
“How dancing boys are being brutalised by sick Taliban officials”
British & American troops serving in the Afghan War revealed these things many times, wondering at the hypocrisy of Muslims engaging in the Sodomy their cult so loudly denounces.
And yet, it all fits in with the teachings of Islam, which regard ONLY THE VICTIMS of Sodomite Rape as “Guilty of Tempting their Innocent Rapists”, just as goats and other helpless animals are regarded as “guilty of tempting their innocent rapists”, and women are “guilty of tempting their innocent rapists”, especially in the West. That is why they show no remorse. Every Muslim man is a secret Sodomite, which is allowed under the bizarre “rules” of Islam. And the only people they have ever “thrown from high buildings” are the victims of sodomite rape, never the rapists.
And it is the Muslim habit of adding hashish syrup and other drugs to their coffee in their coffeehouses that stirs up their sexual obsession to unnatural levels. That’s why one of their ridiculous excuses for raping children is that they “needed” to satisfy their lust, so just grabbed the nearest child, or baby, or woman, or goat. It’s just revolting. Even animals… Read more »
May I add this to the Round-Up:
British warships protecting Ireland cannot enter Irish waters
Some public comments:
—” How many UK sailors died in WW2 because Ireland would not let British patrol aircraft fly over its territory? Would not let UK Navy use its harbours or refuel. Yet Nazi U boats were allowed access. How many Irish spies worked for the Nazis? Neutral??”
—” Why is Britain, not a member of the EU, providing naval defence to Ireland, a member of the EU? Meanwhile France and Belgium, members of the EU, continue to assist in the despatch of migrant crossings into Britain? It almost seems like we are being played for fools.”
—” Have you ever heard the saying “Only in Ireland”? The Republic of Ireland, to give its proper title, really do take the biscuit! They refuse to join NATO and are neutral, but expect to be protected by the powers they won’t join. The fact that they won’t allow the ships protecting them to fire over their territory will explain to some the mentality that Northern Ireland has to deal with. ”
—” Why are our ships involved then ? Let Ireland police its own territory at… Read more »
I live in the republic and love doing so but I totally agree with what you say 👍
– The Middlesbrough crisis raises urgent questions about youth disengagement, gang violence and the failures of state intervention
I suspect the DT wants more state intervention yet it is their excessive activity in the past and continuing which is the culprit.
Over taxation of jobs, excessive minimum wage, disregard for the education and future of white boys, disregard for anti-drug laws and two tier law in favour of non-whites. These are make large contributions to the problem of feral gangs in mainly white areas.
Some of those state sponsored problems affect non-whites too.
If the political class stopped trying to re-engineer society and instead enforced commonly agreed laws the problem would largely disappear.
How long before USA is bordered by the West American Ocean, and the East American Ocean? Can we look forward to the defensive pact becoming the East American Treaty Organisation.
“Net Zero won’t fix climate change. Technology will”
Theres nothing to fix you idiot!
The arrogance of some people is astonishing, we couldn’t break it or fix it even if we wanted to its been here 4.6 billion years without our help or hindrance and will be here long after we’re gone, what a bloody jerk!
Climate is not a tangible phenomenon: it cannot be observed, measured, compared.
The correct term is “Retrospective Meteorological Averaging”.
So, it is weather.
“Fixing” the weather – rain dances were once popular, cricket works as it invariably cause rain during the match, fasting and prayer has never worked, sacrificing virgins has been tried unsuccessfully, ripping the hearts out of sacrificial victims and showing them to the Sun had mixed results for the Aztecs – I suppose we might as well give technology a try.
I am not optimistic.
Beautifully explained 👏
33 Brits died in Nepal disaster say headlines in the Guardian .. so far I have only seen pics of foreign Paper Brits. Also, funny how that number 33 comes up again. Are they just trolling us now?
“Foreign Paper Brits”— Nice one! It turns out that the reason so many of them were there is because they were joining their fellow Hindus & Buddhists in the annual “sacred pilgrimage” to Mount Kailash, to worship Shiva=Satan.
Mount Kailash was chosen millennia ago because its bluntly rounded, constantly snow-covered summit looks like the small Shiva Lingams they smear with milk at home to represent Shiva-Satan’s short, stubby reproductive organ emitting sperm. Extremely gross, I know, but true. So it makes you wonder whether Almighty God decided to teach them all an unforgettable lesson about worshipping Satan & his Stubby Lingam…
It is quite amusing to see Trump stealing from the socialist playbook, messing around with words and the meaning of words to create a new reality.
I think in this case he’s being stupid.
They probably said the same about whoever named it Ontario in the first place.
Is this Putin’s next target? The secret signal in spy chief’s flight
Reverse ‘hostile line’ on Ukraine or Russia could hit UK
‘American forces “definitely” lack enough Patriots to repel a sustained ballistic attack, the U.S. official said. Even their ability to stop a single ballistic strike or a stray Russian missile that goes off course is “very limited.”
The shortfall is raising concerns about how vulnerable NATO countries would be to a potential Russian attack.’
Concerned yet? You should be…
‘The U.S. had previously assessed that Putin wouldn’t provoke a North Atlantic Treaty Organization country while he is still fighting in Ukraine. But that assessment changed earlier this year…The possible threats range from a cyberattack on a NATO country or sending unmarked armed groups to occupy territory to a limited incursion on the alliance’s eastern flank. The time frame for any move by Russia is estimated to happen between this fall and 2029…’
So yet more speculation and selective presentation of information by US.
Ever since the War in Ukraine started Putin has been warning there’ll be consequences for NATO if it helps Ukraine. He said giving Ukraine tanks would result in a response, the same with long range missiles fighter jets etc It’s all mouth and no trousers, Russia can’t achieve it’s objectives in Ukraine so it doesn’t pose a credible threat to NATO. Putin isn’t mad, in general he’s a cold calculating dictator although obviously he screwed up thinking Russia could easily defeat Ukraine. The media love scare stories about what Russia claims it’ll do but it can’t do anything to harm NATO other than launching a nuclear strike and being annihilated by a counter strike. Putin isn’t mad and won’t do this.
Lets all calm down about the Russian “threat”, it doesn’t exist.
I don’t care what one or two generals or defence analysts say. They’re just trying to get their 5 minutes of fame by giving the media scare stories they know the media will lap up.
Ms Sturgess, 44…was killed by poison which was left in a discarded perfume bottle in Wiltshire in 2018. Mr Skripal and his daughter Yulia were seriously injured when members of a Russian military intelligence squad are believed to have smeared the nerve agent on his door handle.
“I never thought the Russian regime would try to murder me in Great Britain,” he told the inquiry in a written…the nerve agent, that was found in a perfume bottle used by Sturgess, held enough to kill thousands…’
‘…in May of this year, Russia conducted two sudden exercises of its strategic nuclear force. These exercises simulated nuclear launches in response to external attacks and mobilised ground-launched missiles, submarines, strategic bombers as well as tens of thousands of soldiers. Russia has also been floating the idea of using smaller-scale tactical nuclear weapons since at least 2024, when Russia and Belarus staged drills for the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons. As we can see, Russia’s tactical nuclear arsenal and Putin’s willingness to use it should not be taken lightly.’
Come on, in the grand scheme of things two fatalities from novichok is neither here nor there. How many people have members of Western secret services bumped off in other countries since the end of the cold war?
No doubt the last paragraph comes from someone looking for their 5 minutes of fame.
Putin isn’t the nicest guy on the planet but I’d choose him rather than a mad mullah any day of the week.
There were no casualties from novichok. The whole charade was an MI5 false flag, so badly constructed that it’s been exposed by several independent analysts.
‘We assess that more than 130 people in Salisbury could have been potentially exposed to this nerve agent.”
May pledged the UK, together with its EU and Nato allies, would “face down” the Russian threat and defend its infrastructure, institutions and values. “We will act to protect our national security and to keep our people safe.”
More than 50 people have been assessed in hospital, including DS Nick Bailey, who was discharged last week saying his life would probably never be the same after being exposed.’
‘In the weeks before the invasion, I was among those who had been fairly sceptical of the idea of an assault on Kyiv – I thought Russian military action in eastern Ukraine was more likely. I assumed, however, that Putin’s intelligence services would give him enough information to conclude that even if an initial assault on Kyiv succeeded, holding on to Ukraine or imposing a pro-Russian leader on the country was never going to work. Volodymyr Zelenskyy had the same view: even as London and Washington made public statements that war was coming, most of my Ukrainian sources told me they thought it was all nonsense.’
