"Conservatives Have Left the Game" | Tell Me More with Matthew Goodwin
I wish political analysts would stop talking about "Islamism". This is a term made up by Westerners. No self-respecting Muslim would refer to an Islamist! This distinction between Islam and Islamism is being made so as not to put Islam in a bad light; so, Islamism is supposed to be radical and political Islam, whereas Islam is supposed to be the religion. Fact is, however, that anyone who understands anything about Islam knows that Islam is nothing if not political. In fact, Islam is more political than it is spiritual! Even the Ayatollah Khomeini said — correctly as it happens — that Islam is nothing if not political. What people are referring to when they speak of Islamists is Muslims who take their faith seriously and follow the way(s) of their prophet — the Sunnah. Islam is actually winning in the West because Westerners refuse to accept and acknowledge the true nature of Islam, probably out of fear. – © Mark Alexander
France Is in Danger
THE NEW YORK TIMES: Whatever happens next, it’ll go down as one of the wildest gambles in modern French history. President Emmanuel Macron’s decision to dissolve the National Assembly and hold snap legislative elections on June 30 and July 7 has given the far right its best shot at governing France for the first time since the Vichy regime of World War II.
The move stunned the country’s political class, including high-ranking Macronists from whom the president’s plans were reportedly heavily guarded. And for much of France, the decision remains perplexing. For those with the most to lose from the far right in power — above all, immigrants and the descendants of recent immigrants — the news is downright terrifying. Mr. Macron, who has a habit of disregarding conventional wisdom, will surely hope the move redounds to his benefit. But make no mistake: France is in danger. » | Cole Stangler | Mr. Stangler is a journalist based in France who writes about its politics and culture. | Thursday, June 13, 2024

Françoise Hardy, French Pop Singer and Fashion Muse, Dies Aged 80
THE GUARDIAN: Singer and actor who wrote some of her country’s biggest pop hits had suffered with lymphatic cancer for many years
Françoise Hardy, whose elegance and beautifully lilting voice made her one of France’s most successful pop stars, has died aged 80.
Her death was reported by her son, the fellow musician Thomas Dutronc, who wrote “Maman est partie,” (or in English, “mum is gone”) on Instagram alongside a baby photo of himself and Hardy.
Hardy had lymphatic cancer since 2004, and had undergone years of radiotherapy and other treatments for the illness. In 2015, she was briefly placed in an induced coma after her condition worsened, and had issues with speech, swallowing and respiration in the years since. In 2021, she had argued in favour of euthanasia, saying that France was “inhuman” for not allowing the procedure. » | Ben Beaumont-Thomas | Wednesday, June 12, 2024

Michael Lambert: Everyone Knows Rishi Sunak Is Finished
Jun 12, 2024 | At Silverstone motor racing track yesterday, the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, launched the Conservative Party manifesto. It featured tax cuts and spending which is to be funded by government efficiency, cracking down on tax evasion and a squeeze on benefit claimants together with growing the economy. Immigration is to be substantially reduced depriving the UK economy of essential workers.
The Spanish government has built a high speed railway from Barcelona to Madrid at a cost of less than one tenth of the cost per mile of HS2.
The CEO of South West Water has received a rise of £300,000 per annum taking her annual income to £860,000. The company lost £9 million last year and yet went ahead with dividends of £127 million.

Hunter Biden Found Guilty in Gun Case
THE NEW YORK TIMES: President Biden’s son was convicted in Delaware federal court on all three felony counts tied to a handgun purchase in 2018. His sentencing date has not been set.
A jury in Wilmington, Del., on Tuesday found Hunter Biden, President Biden’s long-troubled son, guilty of three felony counts of lying on a federal firearms application in 2018, a grievous personal blow to the Biden family as his father enters the final months of a brutal re-election campaign. He could face up to 25 years in prison, but first-time offenders who did not use their weapons to commit a violent crime typically receive no jail time.
Mr. Biden, 54, stood with arms crossed, grimly surveying the jury as the verdict was read. It brought an end to an extraordinary trial that made painfully public Mr. Biden’s crack addiction, reckless behavior and ruinous spending — narrated by three former romantic partners, including the widow of his brother, Beau Biden. » | Glenn Thrush, Reporting from the courthouse | Tuesday, June 11, 2024

Europe's March to the Far-right
Jun 11, 2024 | In the EU elections, voters in France, Germany and Italy have shown an increasing appetite for populist anti-immigrant parties. The French president Emmanuelle Macron has reacted by calling a snap parliamentary election after his party was beaten into second place in the EU poll by Marine le Pen’s National Rally.
In Germany, the Social Democrats, the party of Chancellor Olaf Scholz were pushed into third place by the nationalist AfD. The result still leaves the EU parliament dominated by traditional centre right and centre left parties but for how long will that remain the case? And what do these results tells us more broadly about the appeal of the far right in Europe.

Lib Dems Launch Election Manifesto with Pledge to ‘Save the NHS’
THE GUARDIAN: Party presents ‘fully costed plan to tackle the healthcare crisis from top to bottom’, including guarantees on GPs and dentists and free-to-access social care
The Liberal Democrats have become the first of the big parties to launch their election manifesto, with a pitch to voters based on boosting the NHS and social care.
They also said that – unlike those of Labour and the Tories – their plans were fully costed.
Speaking at a glitzy launch event in north London, the party’s leader, Ed Davey, told voters that electing enough Lib Dem MPs would bring “a strong liberal voice pushing for these policies” and could make a notable difference even with an expected Labour majority.
The 116-page manifesto has been launched alongside a costings document, which pledges increased capital gains tax for very wealthy people, plus new levies on aviation, energy companies and banks.
Davey said this would pay for policies particularly focused on health and care, including guarantees about seeing GPs and dentists, free-to-access social care and more mental health support. » | Peter Walker and Pippa Crerar | Monday, June 10, 2024

The Mitfords: Communism vs Fascism in the English Aristocracy | Tale of Two Sisters | Timeline | Reupload
Jan 11, 2022 | This documentary focuses on Jessica the Communist and Diana the Fascist. Separated by only a few years in age, but poles apart in ideology. They grew up in a divided Europe at the beginning of the 20th Century, a place and time full of great political tension. Old regimes were clinging on to power and new ones were eager to establish themselves. Many citizens of Europe were forced to decide which moral compass they wished to adopt, and both Jessica and Diana were quick to make that decision.
Both fiercely competitive, each sister sought out her own distinct identity and clashed with the other siblings as a result. Like so many others of their era, their personal and political lives became so entwined that they ultimately shattered the once strong and loving bonds of sisterhood.

Diana, Lady Mosley on Desert Island Discs
Mar 19, 2022 | Interview with Diana Mosley, one of the Mitford Sisters, on the popular British radio programme, Desert Island Discs. Biographies include Jan Dalley's "Diana Mosley: A Life," "The Sisters: The Saga of the Mitford Family," by Mary S. Lovell, and Lady Mosley's own "A Life of Contrasts". In reply to one viewer's consternation at her popularity, I replied: "The reasons for peoples' admiration of Lady Mosley are manifold. First and foremost, her aristocratic beauty, gracefulness, and elegance draw people in an almost magnetic way; when something is extremely beautiful or impressive, we forget our prejudices in order to worship at the shrine. Secondly, she is an artifact of a vanished world, so, a voice from the past. Thirdly, she was part of that Pleiades we call the Mitford Sisters, which has always drawn interest. Fourthly, her unjust imprisonment and separation from her sons pulls at the heart strings. Fifthly, fascism in the 20s and 30s was a new movement that was successful in many ways and was not connotatively besmirched as it is today. Sixthly, and most "controversially," many do not ascribe to the narrative that has been sounding from government, media, and academe for nigh on seventy years; this is a landmass unto itself, but current voices presenting a broader and deeper range of facts are the YouTube channels TIKHistory and Zoomer Historian and historian David Irving, who was sentenced to three years in jail for presenting "alternative facts". Perhaps Lady Mosley is a kind of lost goddess for these historical heretics.

EU Elections: Europe's Right of Election Drama Capped by Macron Bombshell | BBC News
Jun 10, 2024 | Exit polls had begun to roll in at the end of European elections across the EU’s 27 countries, when President Emmanuel Macron delivered his bombshell moment in a televised address to a stunned French population. “I’ve decided to hand you back the choice of our parliamentary future with a vote. I am therefore dissolving the National Assembly,” he declared.
The National Rally party - led by Mr Macron's rivals Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella - was one of the big gains that Europe’s far-right parties had expected, and confirmation came with all the exit polls giving the party more than 30%, double that of Mr Macron’s centrist Renaissance.
But beyond France, the broader story of Europe's four-day vote marathon really belonged to the parties of the centre-right. They tightened their grip on the European Parliament, with victories in Germany and Spain, and significant advances in Hungary, against long-dominant Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
The far-right did not enjoy as great a surge across Europe as many had predicted. In the Netherlands, Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party came second, while Austria’s party of the same name came out as winners, but only narrowly.

Despite Scandals Far-right Alternative for Germany Come Second in EU Vote | DW News
Jun 10, 2024 | The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has won the second biggest share of the EU vote in Germany, while the conservative Union parties have retained the biggest vote share.
The AfD performed strongest in east Germany, with the party coming first in the region according to preliminary results. That's despite several scandals engulfing the party ahead of the vote, including its lead candidate Maximilan Krah saying that the Schutzstaffel, or SS, the Nazis' main paramilitary force, were "not all criminals".
Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats are heading for their worst ever national election result, with coalition partners the Greens and the Liberals also taking a beating.
The results paint a grim picture for the government ahead of three state elections in eastern Germany this year, and a general election in 2025.

Macron Gambles on Snap Election after European Defeat
BBC: President Emmanuel Macron has called snap parliamentary elections later this month in the wake of a big victory for his rival Marine Le Pen's National Rally in the European Parliament vote.
The far-right party is on course to win 32% of the vote, exit polls say, more than twice that of the president's Renaissance party.
Announcing the dissolution of parliament, he said the two rounds of voting would take place on 30 June and 7 July, a few weeks before the Paris Olympics.
Mr Macron made the dramatic and surprise decision in a televised address from the Élysée Palace an hour after voting closed and exit polls had been declared in France's EU elections.
His decision came not long after National Rally's 28-year-old leader, Jordan Bardella, openly called on the president to call parliamentary elections. » | Hugh Schofield, BBC News, Paris | Sunday, June 9, 2024

Dr. Marianne Teitelbaum: The Cholesterol Myth: What Really Clogs Our Arteries
Mar 24, 2023 | Testing Total Cholesterol, HDL and LDL is a completely outmoded and outdated test which does not give any indicator as to whether or not we are a candidate for a heart attack. The video explains what actually clogs the arteries, some anatomy of the wall of the artery and how plaque forms and the better tests that are more up to date and should be added to our repertoire of blood work if we want to keep up with research on cardiovascular disease in the 21st century. The truth is we are relying on a decades old testing paradigm that has never been shown to be of any value in predicting heart disease, and more importantly, many people have been put on very dangerous statin drugs when they did not need them in the first place.
Also explained in the video is how to prevent plaque from forming in the first place by following age-old and time-tested techniques for proper diet, daily routine and cleansing techniques offered to us through the sound knowledge of Ayurveda.
Research has not only proven that high cholesterol is not an indicator for heart disease, but it even goes further to show that if you do have clogged arteries, statin drugs do nothing to clean them out. We have three methods in Ayurvedic medicine to scrub and clean out the arteries which has been verified on before and after CT scans of the arteries.

Brexit: A Duty to Speak Up
Jun 9, 2024 | The main parties won’t talk about Brexit during the general election, so it’s up to us. It’s our duty to speak up and break the silence by our political leaders.
Going ahead with Brexit, with the support of a mere 37% of the electorate and with half the nations of the UK voting strongly against it, was an abomination. In other democracies with more experience of running referendums properly, Brexit could never have proceeded based on such minority support.
There are NO benefits to Brexit; none whatsoever. Only severe downsides, that are hurting Britain now and will increasingly hurt us in the years ahead. We need our politicians to offer us a democratic route out of Brexit, not an undemocratic road deeper into it. But neither Labour nor the Tories will even discuss Brexit.
If the two main parties cannot be honest with us about the reality of Brexit, then we, the people, must be honest with the country and with ourselves. It is our duty to speak up. Brexit is a disaster that CAN be reversed with democratic consent from the electorate to apply to join the EU again or at least its Single Market.
A general election is just the right time to ask voters about Brexit, eight years after the referendum. Of course, it would be up to the EU to decide whether our application was accepted, but the first move must come from us. We cannot let Britain slide further away from our friends, allies, and family on the mainland of our continent without speaking up so clearly that prospective MPs are in no doubt that most of the country opposes Brexit, as confirmed by multiple opinion polls. [Source]
If you are a patriot, if you agree that Brexit presents huge dangers for our country, if you can see that Brexit is not an Act of God but a dereliction of duty by rogue politicians, then you must speak up. 𝗪𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝘂𝗽. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝘂𝘁𝘆.
The United Kingdom will never be able to achieve significant economic growth outside of the European Union, especially outside of the Single Market, which is the largest single market the world has ever known. And it's right on our doorstep! The politicians who used the term "Global Britain" were being disingenuous and naïve. They were leading the electorate up the garden path for their own ideological prejudices and several probably to be able to line their own pockets. In using that term, they also showed us what a weak grip they had on economics and international trade. Brexit must be reversed. Period! — © Mark Alexander

If the two main parties cannot be honest with us about the reality of Brexit, then we, the people, must be honest with the country and with ourselves. It is our duty to speak up. Brexit is a disaster that CAN be reversed with democratic consent from the electorate to apply to join the EU again or at least its Single Market.
A general election is just the right time to ask voters about Brexit, eight years after the referendum. Of course, it would be up to the EU to decide whether our application was accepted, but the first move must come from us. We cannot let Britain slide further away from our friends, allies, and family on the mainland of our continent without speaking up so clearly that prospective MPs are in no doubt that most of the country opposes Brexit, as confirmed by multiple opinion polls. [Source]
If you are a patriot, if you agree that Brexit presents huge dangers for our country, if you can see that Brexit is not an Act of God but a dereliction of duty by rogue politicians, then you must speak up. 𝗪𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝘂𝗽. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝘂𝘁𝘆.
The United Kingdom will never be able to achieve significant economic growth outside of the European Union, especially outside of the Single Market, which is the largest single market the world has ever known. And it's right on our doorstep! The politicians who used the term "Global Britain" were being disingenuous and naïve. They were leading the electorate up the garden path for their own ideological prejudices and several probably to be able to line their own pockets. In using that term, they also showed us what a weak grip they had on economics and international trade. Brexit must be reversed. Period! — © Mark Alexander

The Observer View on D-day Furore: Rishi Sunak Is Driving Tories over an Electoral Cliff Edge
THE OBSERVER – EDITORIAL: Prime minister’s gaffe was a defining moment in his campaign symbolising a party that does not know what it stands for and has nothing to offer
‘As we gather here today, it is not just to honour those who showed such remarkable bravery on that day … it’s to listen to the echoes of their voices, to hear them, because they are summoning us.” So President Joe Biden movingly told the international D-day commemoration ceremony at Omaha beach in Normandy on Thursday. But Rishi Sunak was not there to listen alongside Britain’s wartime allies. Instead, he had departed France after taking part in the British commemoration earlier in the day, returning to the UK to do an election interview with ITV, leaving the foreign secretary, Lord Cameron, to represent Britain in his place.
This will prove to be a defining moment of this general election campaign, because it tells us something fundamental about the man who, having been chosen to lead the country by his party a year and a half ago, is for the first time seeking a mandate from the electorate. » | Observer editorial | Sunday, June 9, 2024

Michael Lambert: Sunak's Disastrous Election Campaign Continues with Multiple Errors and Mishaps
June 8, 2024 | One of Rishi Sunak's former teachers at Winchester College claimed that Rishi Sunak never believed in Brexit and that he supported it in order to advance his own career.
Since announcing the General Election 2024 just over two weeks ago, Sunak has been involved in multiple gaffs and mistakes. From his rain-soaked announcement in Downing Street to multiple bad photo opportunities and appearing before the Titanic Museum, things have gone from bad to worse for Sunak.
Yesterday, he left the D-Day ceremonies in France early, where international leaders were present, to return London to be interviewed by ITV for a programme to be broadcast in two weeks’ time. This offended just about everyone and Sunak was forced to make a humiliating public apology.

Truth To Power: And British Politicians Won't Even Mention Brexit
Jun 8, 2024 | Former Tory Leadership candidate Michael Heseltine has warned British voters that the 2024 general election campaign “will be the most dishonest in modern times” because of the refusal of all the main parties to debate the consequences of Brexit.
Meanwhile in France, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal is attempting to reduce support for the far-right French populist party headed up by Marine Le Pen by warning French voters that she once wanted Frexit, taking France out of the EU.
“Don’t let’s be like the British, who cried after Brexit,” he warned.

Sie ging gegen das Urteil in Berufung. Nun startete die Berufungshauptverhandlung vor dem Landgericht Hamburg. Mit dabei ihre Unterstützer. Holocaust, ja, nein, keine Meinungsfreiheit – Ausreden und Zustimmung für die 95-jährige Holocaust-Leugnerin.
Es ist kaum zum Glauben, daß es Leute noch gibt, die den Holocaust leugnen. Trotz aller Beweise versuchen sie immer noch zu leugnen, daß der Holocaust nie stattgefunden hat.

How Islamists Overran My Country, Lebanon – Brigitte Gabriel
May 13, 2024 | Brigitte Gabriel tells the story of how Islamists overran her country, Lebanon , with the aid of Islamic countries in the 1970s.
It's important to note that religion and thus religious extremism is dangerous and needs to be checked especially in Africa so that what happened to the Middle East won't take place on the [African] continent.
This is the reason why the enlightenment and advocacy towards naturalism needs to be intensified in Africa and the world.

Hungry Man Kitchen: How Authentic ADANA KEBAB Is Made - Turkey's Most Famous Kebab
Mar 25, 2024 | Adana Kebab is a unique and possibly the most famous kebab originating from one of the most famous kebab cities in the country, Adana. Authentic Adana kebab is made with ground lamb and tail fat that are hand minced together with just salt, paprika / hot red pepper flakes and sometimes with fresh red paprika pepper giving it an intense lamb flavor.
Unlike many recipes on the Internet and YouTube, the authentic Adana kebab recipe does not contain any onion, garlic or any other ingredients and thus retains the unique and pure lamb flavor.
It is traditionally served on a platter over flatbreads, charred peppers and tomatoes, or wrapped into lavash bread along with a simple and traditional onion salad.

The Muslim Plan to 'Bring the World under Islam Dominion' | Ayaan Hirsi Ali
May 31, 2024 | “We are going to get Hamas fighters,” Ayaan Hirsi Ali told GB News in an exclusive interview.
“We're going to get Palestinian Islamic Jihad members who are going to get radical, hardened militant Islamists to come into America through the asylum and refugee process and exploit the system to lend a hand to those activist, militant Muslims who are anti-Semitic and anti-American and with an agenda to Islamise as our society.”
A prominent human rights activist has warned that Palestinian refugees will bring terror and antisemitism if allowed to enter the West. However, Hirsi Ali stressed that “If the Palestinian refugees are small children and women who have been vetted and who are going to be brought here, and they are going to be assimilated into American society, into the ideas of freedom and equality for women and men, and for tolerance and pluralism.” “That is one thing,” she continued. “But that is not what I think we are seeing.”
Hirsi Ali, a former Muslim who recently converted to Christianity, said it was far more likely that radical Islamists and terrorists will enter via refugee and asylum routes to America, not innocent women and children.

"Theological Bullsh*t!" Richard Dawkins Challenges Ayaan Hirsi Ali's New-found Christianity
Jun 1, 2024 | Face to face in New York City...
"You are no more a Christian than I am" wrote the world's most famous atheist Richard Dawkins when he learnt his old friend Ayaan Hirsi Ali had converted to Christianity.
Ayaan, an apostate twice over, from Muslim to prominent New Atheist has come to Christ. She describes her journey to a packed room at the inaugural Dissident Dialogues festival of ideas in Brooklyn, New York.
Dawkins grapples with her faith, challenges her beliefs in one of the most significant encounters of New Atheism and New Theism. Physics vs metaphysics, rational vs spiritual, Is vs Ought. Surely the most important questions of the age.

Liz Webster: The Telegraph Panics about Brexit Survival
In my not-so-short lifetime, I have never seen such a bunch of losers in politics as we have in Westminster today: Cameron, Sunak, Farage, BoJo, Truss et al. The list is endless. Little wonder this country is in such a mess. The first major mistake was made by Cameron when he called a referendum because he was terrified of that loudmouth and troublemaker, Nigel Farage. Then another huge mistake was for politicians and the electorate to listen to the drivel coming out of Farage's mouth. The man is full of hot air. One can but despise the damage that foolish man has done to this nation. He has ruined many a business and caused misery for many a citizen. He, in the interim, has laughed all the way the bank. The people who followed him look on in astonishment and lick their wounds just as he enriches himself. Then came along BoJo with his inability to manage Brexit and his silly "oven-ready" deals. Not, of course, forgetting Truss's total and utter incompetence.
BTW, I find it astonishing that Ed Davey, the leader of the LibDems, has had neither the foresight nor the fortitude to state that his party's intention is for the country to return to the EU as soon as possible, if it is at all possible, if the EU would accept us back. It is my sincere belief that he could have made the LibDems a major player in British politics. But Ed Davey chickened out; and his party, and the nation, will pay a heavy price for his poor judgment. – © Mark Alexander

14 Years of Tory Cockups
Jun 3, 2024 | “The Government time after time has taken the wrong decision”
“The 7 million-plus NHS waiting list, the 2 million-plus fall in the labour force, the world-beating rate of inflation and spiralling mortgage rates are all the result of a succession of bad policy choices made by Conservative ministers at crucial times in the past 13 years.”
Words of truth and wisdom spoken by a Labour member of the House of Lords this time last year that you won’t see mentioned in the mainstream media. But the words need to be heard and heeded, which is why you can hear them here.
Professor Lord John Eatwell is an economist with a PhD from Harvard. He was, until recently, president of Queens’ College Cambridge and Professor Emeritus of Financial Policy in the Judge Business School. He entered the House of Lords in 1992 where he was Labour’s frontbench spokesperson for Treasury and Economic Affairs.
So, Professor Eatwell knows his stuff on economics. And this is his conclusion of what’s happened during the years of Tory rule since 2010: “In the face of every major shock suffered by the economy over the past 13 years, the government have time after time taken the wrong decision. In every case, misguided government policies damaged investment, growth and productivity.”
The government is continuing to make policy mistakes, said Lord Eatwell. “This string of bad decisions, from austerity to EU trade, to fiscal incontinence, to squeezing the economy, has undermined investment and growth for the past 13 years” Now it’s one year later, so we have 14 years of Tory mistakes. …

Is This the Most 'Dishonest' General Election Campaign in Memory? | LBC
I am totally disenfranchised because no party is offering to take us back into the EU, where we belong. Brexit was a ridiculous move, a move which is impoverishing the nation, and will continue to do so. Lord Heseltine is absolutely right about Brexit; though I disagree with Lord Heseltine's assessment of Rishi Sunak. For me, Sunak, being an arch-Brexiteer, has been part of the problem, not part of the solution. I, for one, cannot vote for any party which dodges the issue of Europe, and refuses to confront, head on, the absurdity of Brexit. – © Mark Alexander
