The Minoans were Caucasian: DNA debunks longstanding theory that Europe's first advanced culture was from Africa

• British archaeologists who in 1900 discovered the Minoan culture believed they were from Libya or Egypt
• The Minoan civilisation arose on Crete in the 27th century BC and flourished until the 15th century BC

A Minoan fresco of children boxing: New DNA analysis has debunked the theory that the Minoans were refugees from North Africa

DNA analysis has debunked the longstanding theory that the Minoans, who some 5,000 years ago established Europe's first advanced Bronze Age culture, were from Africa.
The Minoan civilisation arose on the Mediterranean island of Crete in approximately the 27th century BC and flourished for 12 centuries until the 15th century BC.
But the culture was lost until British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans unearthed its remains on Crete in 1900, where he found vestiges of a civilisation he believed was formed by refugees from northern Egypt.
Modern archaeologists have cast doubt on that version of events, and now DNA tests of Minoan remains suggests they were descended from ancient farmers who settled the islands thousands of years earlier.
These people, it is believed, are from the same stock that came from the East to populate the rest of Europe.
Evans set to work on Crete in 1900 with a team of archaeologists soon after the island was liberated from the yoke of the Ottoman empire, almost immediately unearthing a great palace.
He named the civilisation he discovered after the legendary Greek king Minos and, based on likenesses between Minoan artifacts and those from Egypt and Libya, proposed that its founders migrated into the area from North Africa.
Since then, other archaeologists have suggested that the Minoans may have come from other regions, possibly Turkey, the Balkans, or the Middle East.
But now a joint U.S. and Greek team has made a mitochondrial DNA analysis of Minoan skeletal remains to determine the likely ancestors of the ancient people.
Mitochondria, the energy powerhouses of cells, contain their own DNA, or genetic code, and because mitochondrial DNA is passed down from mothers to their children via the human egg, it contains information about maternal ancestry.

 

Findings suggest that the Minoan civilisation arose from the population already living in Crete, and that these people were probably descendants of the first humans to reach there about 9,000 years ago.
Further, they found, the remains have the greatest genetic similarity with modern European populations.
Senior researcher Dr George Stamatoyannopoulos, professor of medicine and genome sciences at the University of Washington, said the analysis showed these people probably came to the area from the East, not the South.

Minoan Palace Ruins at Knossos: The Minoan culture, Europe's first advanced civilisation, arose on the Mediterranean island of Crete in approximately the 27th century BC and flourished for 12 centuries

'About 9,000 years ago there was an extensive migration of Neolithic humans from the regions of Anatolia that today comprise parts of Turkey and the Middle East,' he said.
'At the same time, the first Neolithic inhabitants reached Crete.
'Our mitochondrial DNA analysis shows that the Minoans' strongest genetic relationships are with these Neolithic humans, as well as with ancient and modern Europeans.
'These results suggest the Minoan civilization arose 5,000 years ago in Crete from an ancestral Neolithic population that had arrived in the region about 4,000 years earlier.
'Our data suggest that the Neolithic population that gave rise to the Minoans also migrated into Europe and gave rise to modern European peoples.'

'Our data suggest that the Neolithic population that gave rise to the Minoans also migrated into Europe and gave rise to modern European peoples'

George Stamatoyannopoulos, professor of medicine and genome sciences at the University of Washington

 

Dr Stamatoyannopoulos and his team analysed samples from 37 skeletons found in a cave in Crete’s Lassithi plateau and compared them with mitochondrial DNA sequences from 135 modern and ancient human populations.
The Minoan samples revealed 21 distinct mitochondrial DNA variations, of which six were unique to the Minoans and 15 were shared with modern and ancient populations.
None of the Minoans carried mitochondrial DNA variations characteristic of African populations.
Further analysis showed that the Minoans were only distantly related to Egyptian, Libyan, and other North African populations.
Indeed, the Minoan shared the greatest percentage of their mitochondrial DNA variation with European populations, especially those in Northern and Western Europe.

A restored clay vessel at the Palace of Malia ruins: Sir Arthur Evans, who discovered the civilisation, proposed his theory of its origin based on likenesses between Minoan artefacts and those from Egypt and Libya

When plotted geographically, shared Minoan mitochondrial DNA variation was lowest in North Africa and increased progressively across the Middle East, Caucasus, Mediterranean islands, Southern Europe, and mainland Europe.
The highest percentage of shared Minoan mitochondrial DNA variation was found with Neolithic populations from Southern Europe.
The analysis also showed a high degree of sharing with the current population of the Lassithi plateau and Greece.
In fact, the maternal genetic information passed down through many generations of mitochondria is still present in modern-day residents of the area where the Minoan skeletons were found.
Dr Stamatoyannopoulos said he believes that the findings highlight the importance of DNA analysis as a tool for understanding human history.
'Genetic analyses are playing in increasingly important role and predicting and protecting human health,' he said.
'Our study underscores the importance of DNA not only in helping us to have healthier futures, but also to understand our past.'

Oxford grooming gang: We will regret ignoring Asian thugs who target white girls

What a god-awful mess this country has got itself into over multiculturalism, and once again our fear of racism will lead to the betrayal of hundreds of young girls

In a particularly warped twist, the pimp will teach his victim that her parents are racist towards Asians, which is why they disapprove of their relationship – absolutely nothing, of course, to do with him being a violent, controlling thug Photo: Alamy

Rochdale, Rotherham, Derby, Oxford. The towns change, but the pattern is always the same. Gangs of men, mainly of Pakistani Muslim heritage, lure white girls as young as 10 with gifts and displays of affection. Next, the girl is raped as a way of “breaking her in”. Once the child’s spirit is subdued, and her mind fogged with drugs, she is sold for sex to multiple men at £200 a time. If the girl tries to break away, a gang member might threaten to behead her or firebomb her home. Mohammed Karrar, who was found guilty in the Oxford sex-grooming case this week, took a scalding hairpin and branded one girl so she would know she was his property. Later, the gang gave the same girl a DIY abortion. She was 12 years old. And this, all this, is happening in Britain now.

In a particularly warped twist, the pimp will teach his victim that her parents are racist towards Asians, which is why they disapprove of their relationship – absolutely nothing, of course, to do with him being a violent, controlling thug. Gang members have grown wise to the wimpy ways of Western society. They exploit the fact that police, newly trained in “cultural sensitivity”, are terrified of being accused of racism. So the pimps operate with impunity until, years later, the slave girls find the courage to testify in court against their masters.

We all know what happens next, don’t we? Leaders of the Pakistani Muslim community – essentially a Victorian society that has landed like Doctor Who’s Tardis on a liberal, permissive planet it despises – are at pains to deny that the grooming gang’s behaviour has anything to do with ethnic origin or contemptible attitudes towards women.

Then Sue Berelowitz, the lamentably foolish deputy children’s commissioner, trots out her lame line that Asian men targeting white girls is “just one of a number of models”, even though such “models” account for an improbably large proportion of all gang sexual abuse. Did Berelowitz not hear Nazir Afzal, Chief Crown Prosecutor for North West England, when he blamed “imported cultural baggage” for appalling crimes by members of his own community? “The men think that women are some lesser being,” he said.

The chief constable who was in charge while all that torture and rape was going on in Oxford appeared on Radio 4’s Today programme yesterday and said that she took “full responsibility” for shocking police failures. But, no, Sara Thornton, head of Thames Valley Police, would not be resigning. Why ever not?

Because saying you take responsibility is the new not taking responsibility, stupid. All that remains is for the panel on tonight’s Question Time to do a little gentle hand-wringing about the Oxford horrors before it concludes that no particular group is implicated in these vile, misogynistic crimes. And, once again, the fear of racism will have trumped sexism, and hundreds of young girls – or the “hollow shells” of girls, as one tearful copper called them – will be betrayed. Then we can all sit back comfortably and wait till the next hideous court case comes along, probably in Bradford, where at least 30 men have been arrested in the past few months over child sex-grooming allegations. Sue Berelowitz may believe the perpetrators could turn out to be Buddhist podiatrists. But I wouldn’t count on it.


At least some good has come from this spate of incredibly distressing cases. Those brutalised young women have not testified against their tormentors in vain. Courageous Muslim writers and community workers have spoken out with repugnance and great moral clarity. Kris Hopkins, the MP for Keighley and Ilkley, believes the police crackdown in Bradford reveals that the political correctness that made the authorities reluctant to act in the past is gone.

Maybe. But what remains is a political class still far too timid to challenge growing and alarming separatism in Muslim education and law. It is 30 years since I first taught English to Bangladeshi women in their flats in Tower Hamlets, and I still remember how those smiley, interested ladies shrank and cowered when their husbands came home. Only one thing can permanently change the misogynist behaviour of certain Pakistani men and that is the education and empowerment of their daughters. Female emancipation drags societies with even the darkest attitudes towards the light. But what hope is there of those girls getting the education and status they need to take their men to task?


Back in January, there was a profoundly disturbing case at Nottingham Crown Court. Adil Rashid, who had “raped” an underage girl, was spared a prison term after the judge heard that the naïve 18-year-old attended an Islamic faith school where he was taught that women are worthless. Rashid told psychologists he had no idea that having sex with a willing 13-year-old was against the law; besides, his education had taught him to believe that “women are no more worthy than a lollipop that has been dropped on the ground”.
If the fresh-faced Rashid had picked up that view in a madrassa in Karachi it would be profoundly depressing, though not surprising. But the school he attended was in Birmingham, for heaven’s sake! Although it cannot be named for “legal reasons”, the school is voluntary-aided – mainly funded by the taxpayer. At this hugely popular Islamic school, where a majority of pupils are from a Pakistani background, boys and girls are taught in separate classes; a segregation policy no normal comprehensive could get away with.


Rashid’s barrister said: “The school he attended, it is not going too far to say, can be described as a closed community.” So, the defence against a rape charge by a young Muslim living in 21st-century Britain was not just ignorance of the law (which should be no defence at all). It was that the law and, indeed, the values of the wider country, were irrelevant in his Islamic school, even though it was a state institution funded by citizens who would go straight to jail if, for instance, they tried to have sex with a child.
The fact that the judge accepted Rashid’s defence shows what a god-awful mess this country has got itself into over multiculturalism.

I reckon Britons in a hundred years’ time will look back at us in outraged astonishment for allowing Islamic schools to flout the laws of the land and teach boys that women are worthless. All Islamic schools should be obliged to introduce mixed-sex classes, so boys can learn at first hand that girls are their equals, or those schools should be closed.

If you teach boys that a female is no better than a lollipop that has been dropped on the ground, eventually you produce a pimp who thinks that you break a girl’s spirit as though she were a horse, before branding her with your initial. That man and those attitudes have no place, no place at all, in Britain now.

'It's a cathartic experience': Music producer behind campaign to send Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead to number one defends mocking of Thatcher

• Mark Biddis says those buying song are those who 'haven't been listened to'
• 'To have this marking her death shows how feel about her,' he said
• Song has now sold 20,000 copies since Thatcher's death on Monday
• It has been pushed up the charts due to an internet campaign
• The track, which costs 79p online, is currently No1 on iTunes
• Also on course to become the shortest top 10 single ever at 51 seconds
• BBC confirms a decision has not been made on whether to play it

Campaign: Protester Mark Biddiss claims getting Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead to number one would be 'cathartic' for many

A protester behind a campaign to get anti-Thatcher song Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead to number one in the charts believes buying the July Garland hit is 'cathartic' for those who hated the Tory prime minister.
Mark Biddiss, 39, denies his cause is wrong and disrespectful to the Iron Lady, claiming: 'It is not about the song, it is giving people a voice'.
His campaign, backed by Left-wing agitators, has caused the song from the Wizard Of Oz to rise in the pop charts this week, and now sits at number three, MailOnline has learned.
As well as rising up the official charts, the track, which costs 79p online, is currently No1 on iTunes, and the BBC is planning to play the song on Sunday.
In the past, songs deemed to be too controversial have been banned from the airwaves by the BBC.
Meanwhile counter-protesters have today launched a late campaign to encourage people to buy: 'I'm In Love With Margaret Thatcher', a 1980 punk single by the Notsensibles.
'I am not an anarchist, and I am not going out to protest. This is a group of normal people who want be heard. I wanted to help this community,' Mr Biddiss told MailOnline.
'I feel a bit of sympathy for her. To have something like this marking her death shows how strongly feel about her.
'It is a comment about her as a state figure and what she did, not about her as a person or her family. People aren't having a go at her as an old lady.
'She never said sorry for anything she did. She did not make Britain great, she took a lot away from Britain.
'I think there is quite a tidal wave of emotion with this and it is a very cathartic experience for a lot of people who feel that for many years they haven't been listened to. I think they now feel they are being listened to.
'The big difference between this song and what Margaret Thatcher never did is listen to people. I don't think she even listened to her cabinet'.

Climbing up the charts: The Wizard Of Oz track which has had a surge of popularity in the wake of Baroness Thatcher's death is on course for a place in the top five

Online push: A message running on the Facebook group which has been set up to push the song to number one in this week's chart

Mr Biddiss, who describes himself as a humourist, writer and event curator, criticised national newspapers who have been critical of his campaign, calling them 'out of touch'.
But he and the thousands who have been buying the pop song have been called 'feeble', 'deeply offensive' and 'disrespectful' by those against them.
Jonathan Aitken confronted Mr Biddiss on ITV's Daybreak this morning.

'I think this is a pretty feeble form of protest,' he said.
'The way to treat this is the way that Lady Thatcher would have treated it - to rise above it with dignity and maybe some disdain.
'The one thing we shouldn't do is censor a song that which after all has been around for 50 years or more.

'This is an opportunistic move by a group of protesters to get a bit of publicity for them and their cause.

'People who have respect for Lady Thatcher and her views will not find this anything other than a distasteful affair.

'People have been listening to this song for decades. It is not new, what is new is that people like you are trying to get cheap publicity.'
UKIP leader Nigel Farage said today: 'If you suppress things then you make them popular, so play the b***** thing. If you ban it it will be number one for weeks.
'Personally I think that the behaviour of these yobs - most of whom weren’t even born when Lady Thatcher was in power - is horrible, offensive and disgusting'.

Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead chart campaigner says song is...

Insiders confirmed yesterday that, in a decision which will cause widespread outrage, Ding Dong! will feature in Radio 1's Sunday-evening Top 40 countdown.
Before it is played, it is planned to use a reporter from the BBC1 news programme Newsbeat to explain to the station's target audience of young listeners why the song has risen in the charts.
MPs from both Labour and the Conservative party united in saying it would be wrong to give airtime to a song denigrating our greatest peacetime Prime Minister less than a week after her death.
The ruling comes after accusations of 'Left-wing bias' over the BBC's coverage of Lady Thatcher's death. It could be the first major leadership test for new director general Tony Hall, the chairman of the Culture Media and Sport select committee warned last night.
John Whittingdale said: 'This is an attempt to manipulate the charts by people trying to make a political point. Most people will find that offensive and deeply insensitive, and for that reason it would be better if the BBC did not play it. It's a political act.

The BBC will now need to decide if they will play the 1939 tune during Radio 1's top 40 countdown, hosted by Jameela Jamil, left.  It is still some distance behind the week’s biggest selling single, Need U (100%) by Duke Dumont , right, FT A*M*E

Place in the charts: The song is also on course to become the shortest top 10 single ever, with the most popular version running to 51 seconds

POWER OF FACEBOOK CAMPAIGN

The power of a Facebook campaign should not be underestimated.
In 2009 a Facebook campaign was designed to prevent another X Factor number one.
As a consequence Rock band Rage Against the Machine won the most competitive battle in years for the Christmas number one.
The band's single, Killing In The Name, sold 500,000 downloads beating X Factor winner Joe McElderry's The Climb by 50,000 copies to clinch the top spot.

'Sometimes the BBC has taken the decision not to play a record because it is offensive, such as the Sex Pistols' God Save the Queen, but that is a matter for the director general, who will be appearing before my committee in two weeks.'
Labour backbencher Gerry Sutcliffe added: 'Obviously nobody wants censorship of music or culture but there has to be dignity in death. While I disagreed with everything she stood for, she was a leader and a Prime Minister so I don't think it would be a good idea to promote that single.'
Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead was written for the soundtrack of the 1939 film The Wizard Of Oz and sung by Judy Garland, who played Dorothy, the Munchkins and Glinda the Good Witch, played by Billie Burke.
The song, written by E.Y. Harburg and composed by Harold Arlen, is sung as they celebrate the death of the Wicked Witch of the East after Dorothy 'dropped a house on her'. It includes the lyrics: 'Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead/She's gone where the goblins go/Below, below, below.'
Since Lady Thatcher died on Monday, it has become an anthem of hate for hordes of Left-wingers who have set up Facebook pages encouraging their friends to buy it.
Supporters of Lady Thatcher urged the public to download Madonna's song True Blue – the Whitehall codename for the preparations for her funeral – instead.

Decision: In what could be seen as the first major test for the new director general Tony Hall, the BBC will now have to take a decision about whether they will play the tune during Radio 1's top 40 countdown when places are finalised at the weekend

Conservative peer Baroness Buscombe said: 'So many of these people who are buying this song probably weren't even alive when she was turning this country from being entirely broke, with no future or prospects, into one giving us all hope and enterprise and inspiration. I think it's a great shame if people think it's the right thing to do to dance on her death.'
Tory MP Henry Smith said it would be 'silly and absurd' for the BBC to play the track on Sunday. He said: 'The song is in particularly poor taste. If I was the person in charge of making the decision I would choose not to play that track. However, it is ultimately irrelevant. Margaret Thatcher's towering reputation will survive this. She was someone who stood for freedom of expression, so we can't ban these sick and misguided protests.'
Another Conservative MP, Philip Davies, defended the BBC's decision, saying it had a duty to play the song on its chart show.
He said: 'It's a chart programme so if it's top of the charts they have to play it. It's not for the BBC to define on what basis something is in the charts.
'However I think this whole campaign is pretty pathetic really if the best these Left-wingers can achieve in their lives is to campaign for a song. Compared to Lady Thatcher's achievements around the world, it just shows what a fantastic Prime Minister she was that she defeated these people time and again and they are still bitter about it.'
In 1977 the BBC refused to play the Sex Pistols' anti-monarchy song God Save the Queen during the Silver Jubilee celebrations. It reached number one in the NME music magazine chart, but only number 2 in the official singles chart – selling 150,000 copies in its first week.
Yesterday BBC officials officially said no decision had yet been taken on whether to play Ding Dong! on the chart show. However, the corporation did not deny an online Guardian report that a decision had been made to play it if it remains in the top five.

A post passed onto our website by an anonymous source regarding Mark Biddiss:

"You guys are doing a great job. Any chance of exposing a lefty forces hater and giving him the attention he so greatly deserves? This creature was slagging off soldiers on a page created against what he did last month during Thatchers funeral. like her or not there is no need to slag the forces off. He posted a load of crap but then took it down or the Admin did. but I sent a PM and got more or less the same. He likes to gob off about free speech then makes threats to call the old bill just for not liking his comments. Hes a dick of the highest order."

This is what he think about the forces:

So, our source messages us again:

"I did some digging last night. Turns out he keeps trying to get famous and used Thatchers death as way to get it. He drinks in a pub called the Greenwich Union. In London and there is talk about him scamming Charitys during self promoted charity events. Some people have questioned where he gets his money from as hes always in the pub and hardly working. He is also a kind of Walt as he made out to the press he was a record producer and song writer but no one has heard off him. Prize Dick this one! Go get him mate."

To be found on facebook here:

https://www.facebook.com/biddiss?ref=ts&fref=ts

Back to the source:

"But he is on the papers making out he was a record producer and song writer. I think the press will jump on him if you expose him and the Mail is after him big time as you can see from this link so the fact he is slagging off soldiers who paraded and vets who attended may just grab their attention.

Well, we at the Walter Mitty Hunt are not really surprised he has received death threats, and although we in no way condone this action, we can wholly understand why he's received them. Maybe he should respect who provides him with that freedom of speech, alongside his freedom to be a complete dick!

Back to the source:

"This was on his wall, as you can see he is not a fan of the Mail and nor is he. My mate does a lot of legal stuff at a barristers office just asked him about the gossip. He said as long as you put "its alledged by locals in his area" you are covered as you are not directly making the allegation. The press use it as way to get their stories out. Mate I think the mail will jump on him once they see that screen shot.
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10200528118399928&set=t.1316292611&type=1&theater"

And yes, who would blame for Daily Mail for criticizing him either? Maybe someone should point them here?

NWN : This is from an ex-forces forum who we do not wish to embarass. 

Just as the poster says. Slag Thatcher off if you wish, and we do, becuase she deserves to be slagged off. 

But leave our armed forces from blame.

REDWATCH check him out.

Seems like this lefty is destined for higher places.

Jewish gay 'Bilderberger' and ex-communist Peter Mandelson admits helping to flood the UK with immigrants

Immigrants? We sent out search parties to get them to come... and made it hard for Britons to get work, says Mandelson

• Former minister admits Labour deliberately engineered mass immigration
• Between 1997 and 2010 net migration to Britain totalled 2.2million

'We were sending out search parties for people': Former Labour Cabinet Minister Peter Mandelson has admitted that his party actively encouraged immigration to the UK while in government

Labour sent out ‘search parties’ for immigrants to get them to come to the UK, Lord Mandelson has admitted.
In a stunning confirmation that the Blair and Brown governments deliberately engineered mass immigration, the former Cabinet Minister and spin doctor said New Labour sought out foreign workers.
He also conceded that the influx of arrivals meant the party’s traditional supporters are now unable to find work.
By contrast, Labour leader Ed Miliband has said his party got it wrong on immigration but has refused to admit it was too high under Labour.
Between 1997 and 2010, net migration to Britain totalled more than 2.2million, more than twice the population of Birmingham.
The annual net figure quadrupled under Labour from 48,000 people in 1997 to 198,000 by 2009.
Lord Mandelson’s remarks come three years after Labour officials denied claims by former adviser Andrew Neather that they deliberately encouraged immigration in order to change the make-up of Britain.
Mr Neather said the policy was designed to ‘rub the Right’s nose in diversity’.
He said there was ‘a driving political purpose: that mass immigration was the way that the Government was going to make the UK truly multicultural’.
Senior Labour figures have been reluctant to concede they deliberately engineered the influx of migrants who have transformed communities over the past decade.
But, at a rally for the Blairite think-tank Progress, Lord Mandelson said: ‘In 2004 when as a Labour government, we were not only welcoming people to come into this country to work, we were sending out search parties for people and encouraging them, in some cases, to take up work in this country.’
He said: ‘The problem has grown during the period of economic stagnation over the last five, six years.’

When Labour encouraged new arrivals ‘we were almost ... a full employment economy’ but, he admitted: ‘The situation is different obviously now.
‘We have to just realise... entry to the labour market of many people of non-British origin is hard for people who are finding it very difficult to find jobs, who find it hard to keep jobs.
‘For these people immigration tends to loom large in their lives and in their worlds, now that is an inescapable fact, and we have to understand it, address it, engage with people in discussion about it.’

Mr Mandelson's admission that New Labour sought out foreign workers is a stunning confirmation that governments led by Tony Blair, left, and Gordon Brown, right, deliberately engineered mass immigration

His words are far franker than Mr Miliband’s. Asked earlier this month whether ‘too many people were allowed to come’, he replied: ‘I wouldn’t put it that way, no.’

MANDELSON NOW... AND THEN

'I think we have to realise that the entry of migrants to the labour market is hard for people who are finding it very difficult to get jobs, or to keep jobs'

 Lord Mandelson yesterday

'Migrants are filling gaps in our labour market that Britons are not available to fill or unwilling to fill. There has not been an adverse effect on employment of British nationals'

Mandelson in March 2009

Tory chairman Grant Shapps said: ‘Peter Mandelson’s candid admission that Labour were purposefully letting immigration spiral out of control when in government is yet another damning indictment on their record on immigration.’
Sir Andrew Green of Migration Watch said: ‘This is an astonishing admission from the highest level that Labour’s mass immigration policy was entirely deliberate.
‘It will be a very long time before their own working class supporters forgive them for the enormous changes that have been imposed on their communities.’
Gordon Brown yesterday accused the Tories of emulating Enoch Powell by using immigration to head off the growing electoral threat from UKIP.
Mr Powell’s 1968 ‘rivers of blood’ speech ignited huge controversy in the debate on immigration.
Former prime minister Mr Brown – who once called for ‘British jobs for British workers’ – told a pro-union rally in Glasgow: ‘A party that was anti-Powellite on immigration is now becoming very close to being Powellite on that issue.’

UKIP Is “A Political Scam” Says British MEP

The United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) is nothing more than a political scam meant to extinguish genuine British nationalism, a British Member of the European Parliament has said.
UKIP recently did comparatively well in local elections in Britain, and has now been widely touted as a new “savior” for British nationalism.
Andrew Brons, elected as an MEP for Yorkshire in 1999 for the British National Party (BNP) but who has since joined the new British Democratic Party (BDP), said in an article published in the Public Service Europejournal that “It is a central principle of marketing that it should not try to change the desires of potential customers but should instead seek to satisfy them or at least pretend to.
“Political parties in a democracy, on the other hand, are believed to have principles and policies to which they are committed; and that they commend by persuasion to the electorate.

“However, it is a problem if the electorate should insist stubbornly on reaffirming its own principles and rejects the principles or base interests of all establishment parties.
“There is always a danger that this electorate will be persuaded to support ‘wild card parties’ or ‘loose cannon parties’ that threaten the policies and interests of the establishment.
“The political establishment in Britain, as in most countries in the west, believes in the destruction of nations and nation states—and seeks to promote a global entity in which there are no independent countries or distinct peoples.

“The media, including the entertainment industry, in all countries promote this vision vigorously but the old loyalties—sometimes in corrupted forms—persist.
“Ethnic nationalist parties in Britain that oppose this globalist vision have had an undistinguished history. However, in the beginning of the 21st century, they—or rather one, the British National Party—started to make progress and gain elected representatives. It had to be stopped.
“Dr Alan Sked, an honest but ultimately globalist academic had established the United Kingdom Independence Party in 1993. It had secured representation in the European Parliament in 1999 and had increased this gradually to twelve MEPs in 2005. There was almost terminal disunity in UKIP during the 2005 to 2009 parliament.

“It looked as though it might face meltdown before 2009. There was a perceived danger that the British National Party, despite its controversial leader, might make a breakthrough at the 2009 European Parliamentary elections.

“This could not be allowed. It had to be stopped. Nigel Farage, a founder member of UKIP had gained the leadership in 2006 and seemed to make a pact with the political establishment and the media.
“In late 2003, three years before he gained the leadership of UKIP, Farage allegedly boasted to his staff that he was going to approach the BBC to warn them that they would have to support UKIP or they would get the BNP. While there is no record of the BBC’s response, we do know that Question Time has invited Farage to appear more than any other elected politician.

“In 2009, before the European elections, UKIP appealed ostensibly to the public but in reality to the media—the only way to stop the BNP is by voting UKIP. The media responded with an aggressive smear campaign against the BNP and a vigorous support programme for the previously ailing UKIP.
“After the European elections, Farage’s party allegedly boasted ‘If it had not been for UKIP, they (the BNP) would have got even more seats’.
“On Good Friday 2010, just before the general election, he told the audience in Any Questions that his greatest political achievement had been: ‘stopping the BNP from ever becoming a large political party’.
“In fact, the BNP did rather better than UKIP in that general election. Its average vote per contested constituency was marginally higher than that of UKIP. It secured a higher proportion of saved deposits than UKIP.

“In seats in which both parties contested, the BNP beat UKIP in many more constituencies than those in which UKIP beat the BNP. That was the reality but the media portrayed the general election as a triumph for UKIP and a disaster for the BNP.
“The leadership of the BNP went into paranoid mode and declared a war against all and any of its internal critics.

“The party then began its terminal decline. And UKIP was to be promoted quite shamelessly by all sections of the media from then on. Farage has appeared on Question Time and Any Questions even more than he did previously.
“The so-called right-wing press has given that party hundreds of column inches. Scandals that ought to have attracted bad publicity for UKIP have been uniformly ignored by all sections of the media.
“An attack on Farage from the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe leader in the European Parliament in December 2012 for failing to attend his Fisheries Committee once during 2011 and 2012 went unreported in Britain. The appalling attendance records of UKIP MEPs in the full parliamentary sessions have scarcely been mentioned. It is a political scam.

“It is almost as though a modern version of a ‘D-notice’ had been sent to every single newspaper and it had been routinely obeyed.
“It is not that Farage can walk on water but simply that his mortality must not be mentioned. As one of his colleagues in the European Parliament said of him, Farage is not so much committed to getting Britain out of the European Union as he is to occupying a place—so that nobody else will.”

NWN: We are glad Andrew Brons has mentioned Dr Sked in the above article. When Griffin was plotting to 'hijack' the BNP in the mid to late 1990s and get rid of John Tyndall.
He was working to de-stabilise  the BNP with Skeds then ally Dr Mark Deavin from within UKIP. 

Griffin bragged at the time, that he could bring UKIP within the BNP sphere of influence 'lock stock and barrel'. 

Of course we now know that Griffins plan all along was to wreck British nationalism. Something he has acheived with help.

Chancellor accused of celebrating pension pain that will force millions to work until they drop

• Campaigners accuse the Chancellor of 'living in a fantasy land'
• He said that raising the state pension age was one of the least controversial things the government had done

'Fantasy land': George Osborne came under fire yesterday for celebrating the 'absolutely enormous savings' from his controversial increases to the State pension age

George Osborne came under fire yesterday for celebrating the ‘absolutely enormous savings’ from his controversial increases to the State pension age which are forcing millions to work till they drop.

Campaigners accused the Chancellor of ‘living in a fantasy land’ after he said that raising the state pension age, forcing millions to delay their retirement was one of the least controversial things the government had done.

Pensioners’ groups said the comments were insensitive to hard-working Britons who were being forced to work well into their 60s as a result of the State pension age increases.

Speaking at the Global Investment Conference in London, Mr Osborne admitted he is delighted with the money saved by the move, which particularly penalises women.

But he did not express any regret over the fact that millions of Britons had been hit with repeated increases in the age at which they can retire.

Mr Osborne said: ‘The savings dwarf almost everything else you do. They are absolutely enormous savings.

‘I found it actually one of the less controversial things we have done, and yet probably has saved more money than anything else we have done.’

Official figures reveal the saving from increasing the State pension age to 67 is more than £100billion.

It represents a financial hit for millions of Britons who face a long wait before they get a single penny from their State pension.

Mr Osborne also courted controversy by appearing to agree with one delegate who suggested the State pension age should be increased ‘by six months a year for the next 20 years'.

This would be equal to an explosive 10-year hike, which could raise the State pension age from 67 to 77.

Mr Osborne said he ‘agreed with the premise of the question’, adding: ‘Tackling entitlement costs and the costs of an ageing society is a real challenge for Western democratic societies.’

Neil Duncan-Jordan, from the National Pensioners’ Convention said: ‘I think George Osborne is living in a fantasy land.
‘Politicians can work way beyond their mid-60s and they have got a home for them called the House of Lords.

‘You compare that lifestyle with people who have worked all their life doing manual labour on low pay in a care home or digging up the roads.

‘And then ask them to keep on going. It is just not right.’
Since 1948, women have been entitled to get their State pension from the age of 60 until the rules were changed three years ago. A man can claim his State pension at the age of 65.

The coalition Government has ripped up the timetable, forcing people to work for far longer before they are entitled to finally start claiming their pension.

Women’s State pension age is currently being increased every few months, reaching 65 in 2018. It will then rise for both men and women to 66 in 2020, jumping again to 67 by 2028 and will continue to rise.

Pensioners' groups said the Chancellor's comments were insensitive to hard-working Britons who were being forced to work well into their 60s as a result of the State pension age increases. Posed by models

Under the new system, the State pension age will continue to be increased in line with life expectancy, with experts warning babies born today will not retire until they reach the age of 77.

The Government will review the State pension age every five years, and has promised to give a minimum of ten years’ notice before any change is introduced.

Michelle Mitchell, charity director general of the charity Age UK, said: ‘For some people working longer is a positive experience and provides an opportunity to increase savings for retirement.

‘However, others find it difficult to remain in the workforce because of caring responsibilities or health problems, yet are compelled to try to continue working for financial reasons.’

Mr Osborne’s express of delight at the money that is being saved suggests the Treasury will be keen for it to rise as fast as possible.

The State pension age increases, which Labour had also revealed plans to implement but the coalition Government sped up, is already having a dramatic impact.

Nearly 30,000 women in their 60s have been forced to keep on working due to the Government’s increase in the State pension age, the Institute for Fiscal Studies said recently.

Half of women aged 60 are working, the first time in history that the employment rate of women in this age group has tipped over the 50 per cent mark.

Dr Ros Altmann, a leading independent pension expert, said: ‘Many of those worst affected by the delay in State pension age are already ill or caring for others and have taken early retirement.

‘They cannot now go back to work so delaying taking their State pension even further is not a realistic option for them.

‘They had made financial plans to cover themselves up to the old State pension age but that goalpost was then moved after they retired or became ill.’

NWN: Now work until you drop you plebs ! 

Sounds a bit like tory toff Nick Griffin. He is also a posh boy, who run the system for the bankers.

The nationalist movement should be fighting these losses for ordinary British people.

Where are the Trade Unions ? 

Oh sorry, they are fighting for more immigrants into the UK and pro anti racism bollocks.

Israel exploited loophole to take 1,000 DNA samples from African refugees

Israeli police have admitted to collecting some 1,000 DNA samples from African refugees who have arrived in the country since 2012, after using a security-related clause to open criminal cases against some of the immigrants.
The news was comfirmed by Commander Eran Kamin of the Investigations Division, who reported on the issue to a Knesset committee on Tuesday.
The issue was first revealed in an article in Haaretz, which said that police officials had earlier had their request for collecting refugees’ DNA samples rejected by Knesset Committees. To bypass this rejection, the police opened criminal cases against the African migrants – they had technically entered the country illegally, which the police then classified as a ‘security-related’ crime.
"We are aware that those entering Israel have had unpleasant experiences, to say the least, but still, we're aware of the fact that they broke the law. The law defines them as infiltrators," Kamin said, according to Haaretz.
In 2012, Israeli police collected more than 600 samples. However, they have not solved any reported crimes as a result of this DNA collection practice, Haaretz said.

Police officials claim they are not creating a refugee database, and that the personal data they receive from migrants are placed in a general pool. African immigrants are nevertheless reportedly angered by the procedure, which they have slammed as discriminatory.
Human rights activists in Israel strongly oppose the practice: “The criminal process is meant to reach the truth and punish offenders who have been legally convicted. But in terms of asylum-seekers, police are making a different use entirely of the criminal proceeding,” said attorney Asaf Weitzen of the Hotline for Migrant Workers. He added that police were “creating a new law and suiting it to a regime in which there is no longer a need for courts, legislators or public opinion.”
Alva Kolan of the Association for Civil Rights in Israel said this is "a cynical use of the Prevention of Infiltration Law, and squarely contradicts the International Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, which explicitly states that infiltration, in itself, cannot be considered a criminal offense.” 
The DNA collection is another facet of the Israeli government’s crackdown on immigrants coming from such African nations as Libya, Sudan, South Sudan, Ethiopia and Eritrea. After being dubbed “infiltrators” and a threat to state security, they are encouraged to return to their native countries. Many of those unwilling to return home face indefinite jail terms.

Israel has regularly been accused of deporting Sudanese migrants back to their homeland, where visiting or living in Israel is a crime. In February, Israel reportedly forced at least 1,000 Sudanese to return home.
Israel described the deportations as “voluntary leave,” which the UN Refugee agency dismissed as unlikely. "Deporting Sudanese to Sudan would be the gravest violation possible of the refugee convention that Israel has signed – a crime never before committed," the UN representative to Israel Michael Bavli said.
In August 2012, a report by the London-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism revealed that Israel deported Sudanese asylum seekers by issuing documents with intentionally incorrect nationalities. Having no repatriation agreement with Sudan, Israel gave more than 100 Sudanese nationals passports or birth certificates labeling them citizens of South Sudan, which seceded from Sudan in 2011, the report stated.

The Most Famous American Journalist Exposes the Zionist Conspiracy

World Jewish Congress approves resolution calling for criminalizing Holocaust denial

The resolution on anti-Semitism also calls countries where appropriate constitutional provisions exist to consider banning neo-Nazi parties.

ed note–so, in other words, these same Jewish interests CONSTANTLY lecturing others on ‘free speech’ and CONSTANTLY warning of the dangers of ‘Islamic Shariah Law’ where people are punished for holding/voicing opinions contrary to the precepts of a certain religion are now calling for laws to be made criminalizing free speech/free thought as pertains the ‘holy of holies’–meaning the Holocaust.

As one famous philosopher stated over and over when warning of Jewish power, ‘beware the leaven of the pharisees, which is hypocrisy and lying’

Haaretz

The World Jewish Congress approved on Tuesday a resolution that calls on countries around the world, “in particular those whose Jewish populations were decimated in the Shoah,” to outlaw the public denial of the Holocaust, and where appropriate constitutional provisions exist, to consider banning neo-Nazi parties.

The resolution also urges Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and other national leaders and legislators in Europe to join the 125 legislators from more than 40 countries in signing the 2009 London Declaration on Combating Anti-Semitism.

The WJC decided to hold its Plenary Assembly in the Hungarian capital as an expression of solidarity with the local Jewish community in the city, who have been under threat of rising anti-Semitism ever since the extreme right-wing Jobbik Party won a relatively large share of the vote in the last election.

The WJC resolution, supported by hundreds of delegates from Jewish communities around the world, urges the Hungarian authorities “to take effective measures including by enacting and enforcing legislation, for the protection of all citizens and residents of this country, in particular vulnerable minorities such as the Roma and the Jews, against threats of violence, racist hate and insults and the denial of the Holocaust.”

On Sunday night, the Hungarian prime minister opened the Plenary Assembly promising to act more forcefully against anti-Semitism, although he did not specifically mention the Jobbik Party, which captured 17 percent of the vote in the 2010 election. WJC officials expressed disappointment with his speech, which to their minds lacked substance.

In the resolution, the WJC calls on Hungary “to recognize that the ideology and the actions of the Jobbik movement and its subsidiaries, including the New Hungarian Guard, pose a fundamental threat to Hungary’s democracy, and that decisive action by all democratic forces against these contemporary expressions of extremism must now be taken.”

The resolution also expresses concern about recent signs of rising anti-Semitism in Ukraine.

Earlier today, the Plenary Assembly heard about a new legislative initiative in Greece, which promises a radical crackdown on anti-Semitism and other forms of racism in the country. David Saltiel, the head of the country’s Jewish community, who reported on the development, said the legislation will be submitted to parliament in the coming days, following the Easter holiday break.

According to the legislation, any individual or group that incites against or acts violently toward other individuals or groups “because of their racial origin, the color of their skin, their religion and/or their sexual preferences” could be punished with three months to six years in jail and be fined up to 20,000 euros. The same punishments would apply to Holocaust denial and the National Socialist salute. The legislation also stipulates that if a parliamentary party chief is found to be in violation, public funding for his or her party would be suspended.

Police Confirm Bilderberg 2013 to Take Place in Watford, UK

Authorities will “facilitate peaceful protest”

May 7, 2013

Hertfordshire Police have confirmed that the 2013 Bilderberg Group meeting will take place at the Grove luxury hotel in Watford, United Kingdom early next month as over 100 of the world’s most influential power brokers will meet clandestinely to discuss global policy behind closed doors.

Although the site of the meeting had been known amongst Bilderberg sleuths for weeks, police confirmation appears to diminish any chances that the location was a red herring designed to throw activists off the scent.

“A Hertfordshire Police spokesman confirmed the event was taking place but declined to comment on operational policing details,” reports the Watford Observer.

The spokesman added that the force would “facilitate people who want to undertake peaceful protest.”

The police’s insistence that demonstrations will be allowed (despite a “security exercise” which is expected to surround the hotel grounds and keep prying eyes away), bolsters the view that Bilderberg has learned from previous years when protesters and journalists were treated with disdain, leading to negative press attention.

According to the Observer, the dates of the conference are June 6-8, although it is expected that most of the attendees will leave on the morning of the 9th as is routine.

As we reported yesterday, Alex Jones will travel to the United Kingdom to cover the protest unless he is barred from entering the country by UK authorities who have previously prevented other media personalities such as Michael Savage from entering based on their political viewpoints.

Any attempt to deport Jones will be seen as an embarrassing PR disaster for both UK authorities and the Bilderberg Group, who previously attempted to get Jones kicked out of Canada back in 2006 only for the incident to cause a huge media spectacle.

It remains to be seen how much attention the British press will bestow on a group that habitually relies on a castrated and compliant media to either ignore its existence or play down the Bilderberg as a mere “talking shop,” despite innumerable instances of the group wielding its influence with scant regard for democratic transparency.

In 2010, former NATO Secretary-General and Bilderberg member Willy Claes admitted that Bilderberg attendees are mandated to implement decisions that are formulated during the annual conference of power brokers.

In 2009, Bilderberg chairman Étienne Davignon even bragged about how the Euro single currency was a brainchild of the Bilderberg Group.

Back in February, Italian lawyer Alfonso Luigi Marra requested that the Public Prosecutor of Rome investigate Bilderberg for criminal activity, questioning whether the elitist organization’s 2011 meeting in Switzerland led to the selection of Mario Monti as Prime Minister of Italy.

Last month, Honorary President of the Supreme Court of Italy and former Senior Investigative Judge Ferdinando Imposimato accused the Bilderberg Group of being behind terrorist attacks in Europe.

Hundreds of activists are expected to descend on Watford and Infowars invites as many people as possible to make the trip in order to force the mainstream press to give Bilderberg the attention it deserves, thereby dismantling the shadowy group’s much cherished veil of secrecy.
