Dynamite Duane

I saw a Chinese Lantern in the sky the other night, that's what the analytical part of my mind told me

Got the Dorset UKIP News through the door today, phoned for a free info pack and going to stick a sign up in my window in support. They are the only party that clearly stand out as the one I agree with.

 

I can only assume you saw me referring to Harry's post as 'the stupidest thing I'd ever read' and decided you needed to up your game.

Eh, everyone is entitled to their opinion mate, no need to use that tone just because I don't hold the same opinion as yourself.

I see UKIP as a true alternative to the Lib-Lab-Con.

Following the BNP's membership application process being restarted after suspension, Nick Griffin was pictured with some of the lucky members who had their application approved recently;

 

The guy wearing glasses and the pink shirt an tie combination looks familiar. Wondering if he's that Christian bloke off the channel 4 programme where they tried to convert people and he called someone a practising witch.

Very well put.

I may have posted this before but I highly recommend watching this video by a very down to earth bloke.

John Harris - 'It's an illusion' talk at the Stoke 'Lawful Rebellion' Conference

My lovely wife bought me Tyson the movie platinum edition for my b'day. Been after it for a while since Joe Rogan recommended it to Mike Goldberg on one of the UFCs. Noticed it in Asda, so made a hint

I'm not a big follower of boxing but fondly recall watching Tyson fights with my dad Sunday mornings, on ITV, following Sky airing the bouts live the night before. It's emotional viewing at times following Kid Dynamite's ups and downs in and out of the ring, well worth seeing and loads of bouts thrown in as extras from ESPN.

 

And Happy Birthday Duane. In honour of you, consider this a gift from an egotist to a moron

 

Thanks Egomaniac

Just in case Loki or anyone else says I've dropped out of this discussion and not answered them, I wanted a chilled vibe for my birthday today

 

Happy birthday Duane. One thing that has been troubling me is that Loki mentioned you were from Bournemouth but of course thats only where you live now. The truth is that you first became aware of the great global conspiracies when you were abducted by aliens in your old manor of Woking. You tried to alert the world to the Alien threat but it was covered up by "The Man" who merely insisted you had been in a state of "some refreshment" and passed out by the Martian Tripod.

 

Heh eh the Tripods

Britain wasn't given a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. I don't like that.

Neither do I to be honest.

 

I see it as our leaders thinking they know better than us, when they are supposedly elected to represent us. A simple vote is all I ask. It comes back to this elitist attitude.

 

So they want a new order under a global structure. Is it their right to move us in that direction without input from the people? Whether their intentions are good or not? I don't think it is.

 

Quick question, please clear up if you can -

 

Wouldn't you be worried that your vote wouldn't count for anything? I mean, if everyone is as corrupt and hell-bent on world domination as you say, surely they'd nullify any dissenting votes and just do what they wanted anyway? In that situation, where the elites ignore your vote and do what they like regardless, what's the point in demanding democratic process?

 

Just wondering, is all.

The idea has been going around of a box to cross for none of the above.

It was only the other week that unelected Fabian-Socialist Bilderberger Gordon Brown called for a New World Order.

 

How is he unelected?

Gordon Brown was not elected Prime Minister. Blair stepped down and the party decided between them. WE didn't vote him in at PM.

I for one am hugely glad that we're moving to more of a united world.

 

The sort of issues which face us are global in nature - environment, poverty, food shortage, universal healthcare, and only by working as a consensual community of nations can we hope to improve the lot of everyone at the same time. The history of the twentieth century shows a relentless improvement in the overall standards of life and the explosive spread of democracy and liberalism, both of which are positive forces for good. The United Nations, which you seem to see as some sort of bogeyman, was created specifically to put an end to the sort of spiralling world conflict which had engulfed the world in the previous few decades. That's a role it's actually achieved extremely well.

 

It matters to me not one jot that fantasists like Keelan see this advance towards a more tight-knit global community as an evil thing because most normal, free-thinking people can see the immense benefits that globalisation brings. We need to concentrate on ensuring that the process has appropriate checks and balances and that the new global infrastructure is open and transparent rather than barking at the moon about Jews and Bildersburg. But those who can, do, and those who can't sit at home with tinfoil on their heads banging out crackpot blogs.

Personally I don't want a one world government I want to keep the sovereignty of our nation.

Reading your post brings to mind this BBC documentary, not a conspiracy theory video but one documenting history, psychology, politics and more.

On Google video:

The Century Of The Self - Part 1 of 4 - By Adam Curtis

If this is the correct one I'm thinking of it shows how people have been manipulated by appealing to the individual. This is how Thatcher and Bush were successful in the 80s, a great example of we have the have the wool pulled over eyes. In one hand Thatcher gave people the right to buy their council homes then with the other she took away jobs by closing the coal-mines.

There's a difference between people not voting for a party, and not having a party to vote for, though Duane. I mean, if this country really wanted to break the deadlock between Labour and Tory at the next election, they could all go and vote Lib Dem. Or, hell, UKIP or something. It's a democracy, people get the choice. Now, I'm not saying our system couldn't do with a shakeup (I'm in favour of a system of Proportional Representation) but it's VERY different from the situation in the States, where there really is fuck all choice.

 

Even so, they've managed to elect a black president who's the son of a Muslim. So they're doing alright.

I think it's good UKIP is becoming an alternative but it seems the party with the most financial backing wins. Also I feel it's time to stop voting for left or right because there doesn't seem to be a left or right, if we're including the Lib Dems in this there is still little difference between the main 3 parties policies. You vote for change and it doesn't change. Labour didn't reverse what the Tories did.

OK, I meant in recent times, the past 30 years.

a country like our own dominated by a 2 party system.

 

That's right - they've got the Republicans and Democrats, we've got The Tories and Labour and Lib Dems and UKIP and Greens and SNP and Plaid Cwymru and Respect and BNP and Ulster Unionists and Captain Rainbow's Abolish Government party. Exactly alike.

 

Have you ever known of a party other than Labour or Conservative to run the country? It's a 2 horse race because they have the most money fact.

No offence Loki, but your problem is your own ego.

I got up to part foyr before switching off, anybody beat me?

 

When the fuck did this chap turn into such a loony toon?

 

So because he dares question the official government story on such topics as 9/11, he is automatically a loon?

 

Brilliant.

That is the idea, let someone air their views then call them a loony for being different and questioning what we are told. I say sod that go against the grain and stand up and fight for what you believe in. That takes strength of character and I respect people such as Ventura for doing so.

In case you're wondering whether to click the link, it's Ventura on Infowars.com being interviewed by the producer of Loose Change. He's talking about how the world is controlled by a global conspiracy. Though admittedly one which failed to prevent him releasing a book, having a national TV show and getting elected governor of a state.

Personally I would have put it less negatively than that. Ventura and others like him are beaming lights of hope, independents offering choice in a country like our own dominated by a 2 party system.

I'm wondering if the ISPs will be unhappy about this, they could lose money from subscribers who pay extra to be able to download more than a standard user. These subscribers who use such services do so specifically for downloading music, films, TV programmes etc or have I got this wrong?

Saw The People vs Larry Flynt off Bravo, not seen it before, it's bloody wicked!

It's a good biopic about pornography, civil rights, freedom, liberty and sticking it to the man!

Does anyone know if there is a documentary about Larry Flint and Hustler out there? Think I recall a programme about him a few years back, be good to see.

Thanks to a UKFF tweeter who tweeted #debill I came across this on the subject:

BBC News - Lords pass controversial internet piracy bill

Andrew Robinson, from Pirate Party UK, which campaigns on the issue, said: "The public will not respect a law that was quite literally written by the record industry, for the record industry.

"As it stands, the bill is fatally flawed, and fundamentally unjust."

There's a programme on tonight about a proposed law to ban from the internet who those illegally download music and films etc. Could affect how some will use their vote.

Tonight there is a programme on called Too Poor for Harrow, channel 4, looks quite good, probably more for the documentary thread.

I got it wrong, this programme is on Thursday night.

Yes, it does seem to fly in the face of most reportage of sexual abuse, which tends to show that abuse most often happens within family/close friend circles, rather than "petty criminals". "Stranger Danger" is generally considered to be only a very small percentage of recorded sexual abuse.

 

Perhaps what Kenny means is that the factors that create a person's predisposition to sexual crimes are also those that tend to lead to petty crime - poverty, poor education, fractured or dysfunctional family and upbringing. Personally, I'd like to see the media focus more on solving those problems that demonising offenders whilst sweeping the more difficult questions under the carpet.

Sadly that isn't the purpose of the media, the newspapers aren't there to solve problems. Their business is in doom and gloom.

I'd bet that if you took every one who commits a murder, a higher proportion of them would have previously committed a minor offence than the proportion which would have committed murder. So executing/locking up for life anyone who commits a minor offence is a much more effective way to cut the number of murders.

 

Interestingly, I had a very enlightening conversation with someone I work with on this subject the other day. He was pointing out - and he should know, being a highly qualified criminal psychologist - that sexual abuse is most often committed not by "monsters" and "beasts" and "twisted perverts" but by petty criminals. The correlations and predictors are more to do with general criminality than any sort of sexual behaviour. Most sex offenders are known to the police and the CPA/PF before they get caught for any sex crime. That's how most of them get caught - they spill a drop or leave a fingerprint somewhere and they're found out because their DNA and fingerprints are already on file somewhere. Therefore, it is entirely logical to suggest that by locking up petty criminals for life without parole, we would substantially reduce the number of SEX BEASTS free to harm OUR PRECIOUS LITTLE ONES.

Be handy if you could explain this more with some sort of evidence mate. Sounds like your friend is qualified on this subject but I'd like to know how he came up with that. I was under the impression most sex abuse to children was actually committed by a person they know/family member. Also can you define petty criminal please, that sounds a bit of loose term. The idea of locking up petty criminals for life without parole sounds a bit a extreme.

Often the case is with people who do wrong things, their conscience allows them to be caught.
