Rise festival shelved due to lack of sponsors following last year's row over anti-racism message
Boris Johnson has scrapped Rise, London's popular annual multicultural music event, despite insisting last year that major festivals are an "important way" of bringing Londoners from diverse backgrounds together.
The mayor said that he planned instead to stage "Rhythm for London" – two days of events to engage youngsters to learn to play music.
Johnson blamed the decision to cancel Rise on its failure to find a sponsor. Last year the summer event attracted 100,000 people.
Rise was first set up in 1996 and was developed by Ken Livingstone, Johnson's predecessor as mayor, eventually becoming the largest anti-racist festival in Europe.
After taking office last May, Johnson dismayed the festival's main sponsors, trade unions Unison and Unite, by announcing that the anti-racism message would be removed from the festival's promotional material.
Sponsors withdrew their funding, leaving City Hall to pick up the £551,000 bill to stage the event in Finsbury Park, north London.
Johnson's director of arts policy, Munira Mirza, justified the decision at the time by saying it was "no longer appropriate to have overtly political organisations involved in the programme or in the community".
The Rise festival has been used as a platform by music artists to urge youngsters to vote against the British National party.

"Johnson dismayed the festival's main sponsors, trade unions Unison and Unite, by announcing that the anti-racism message would be removed from the festival's promotional material."
Hahahahaha serves the traitors right
Little victories lead to bigger victories!!!!!
" At a meeting in Oxford in 1940, the head of the political section of the subversive organisation described it's intentions, and MI5 received a report from Moscow the following year outlining the same plans. Members of the political section of the subversive organisation were to infiltrate the Political Parties. Those in the Conservative Party would lean to the left, those in Labour to the right. The reason being that the British it was said, distrust extremists. Those infiltrating the Conservatives were to be responsible for the `financial smokescreen` that would conceal the changeover from democracy to a Marxist Dictatorship. The description given fits entirely the manner in which the Heath Government took us into the EEC and explains the Tory party's support for the Treaty establishing European Union."
Throughout, the method has been infiltration from the top. Although the people of a `member state` may continue to vote in national elections, the candidates are chosen by a very small select number of people, and since WWII, large numbers of the subversive organisation have entered the various national parliaments. I think it is now safe to say that this insinuation of subversives is mirrored globally and particularly throughout the west, and since the great weakness in the `party` system is the manner in which candidates are chosen, this provides fertile ground for subversive activity. A further weakness in the electoral system of the UK for example has been the `packing` of marginal `seats` where strong Anti Marxist candidates are standing, with immigrants who vote the way their own `bought and paid for` leaders tell them. Thereby circumventing true democracy, and undermining those prepared to make a stand against the subversives bent on achieving the Federal Superstate as the initial goal, and the `World State` as the final solution to the `democratic question`.
The Damage Done
Over the past thirty or so years, the primary objectives of the EEC Commission has been to pave the way for the Treaty Establishing European Union, and thereafter the creation of the Federal Superstate. The laws emanating from Brussels have seriously damaged the industry and defenses of member states and have introduced many changes needed for the smooth transition to a dictatorship. The significance of handing over vast sums of taxpayers money to the EU, only to have them returned, should not be overlooked. The money returned is spent according to the wishes of the Commissioners , mostly on altering the infrastructure of the nation that it may more easily be split into smaller administrative units, thereafter to be more easily absorbed into the Federation..
In all of this, the complicity of national governments has been imperative, and the levels of treachery unprecedented in human history.
The Penultimate Step
Later this year, the Irish will be coerced into another referendum, and this time, there will be nothing left to chance. One way or the other, the Communitarian's of the EU will fabricate their `yes` vote and with the Lisbon Treaty finally ratified, it will be full steam ahead towards the Supestate.
Within it's murky pages, the Lisbon Treaty holds no provision for the continuation of the Monarchy (not that in this writer's opinion that is any great loss, considering who and what they are) or National Governments. The Commissioners would become absolute rulers, with a Presidential `Puppet` fronting the tyranny. The Nation States of Europe will be divided into geographical regions divorced from all historical and traditional reality. The Map Of The Superstate to be, shows ten such regions in Britain including Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland, and four in the Irish Republic. It rejects entirely the existence of England.
The European Union is the `prototype` for the other world `Super Regions` intended to become a reality in the near future as illustrated in the diagram below.
The Final Solution
The current financial crisis is intended to terrify the people of the world into accepting World Government. The calls for `New World Order` and for `global solutions for global problems` are increasingly being heard and transmitted across the airwaves by the media sycophants in thrall to the Globalists. Meanwhile, the political puppets are playing their part as dictated to them by their Illuminati masters, and although the `economic` route appears to be the chosen vehicle to attain World Power for now, does anyone doubt that if they feel it expedient, they will launch a global war on a scale hitherto thought unimaginable. We are not there yet, but the world situation deteriorates daily.
This intended `Coup d' Etat` with the installation of Satan's' World State the intended `Final Solution`, is by far the most far reaching and sweeping change seen in human affairs in millenia, yet we have not been told about it by our elected leaders. The reason for this deafening silence is quite simple. The `Family` controls virtually everything it needs to ensure that the secrecy of the `Great Work` remains hidden, right up until that time, when like all conspiracies, it must raise it's head above the `ramparts` for all to see. This is happening now, but the mass of humanity is still in total denial, and seems to prefer to stick it's collective head in the sand and hope all the bad things just go away. There are comparatively few involved in this criminal conspiracy and if all those who are unconsciously helping them stopped doing so, the plan would collapse.
As Kitty Little wrote, "Publicity is what they fear most and it will defeat them".

A GOOD READ.
Well done Barnbrook. Those red cunts'll have to hold their cat-howling in the Finsbury Park shithouse doubling-up as Hamsa Hook's mosque. The harmonization should go dowm well, with all arses present bared, straining and facing Mo's tomb.
A damn good read. Scares the hell out of me. That's why am a nationalist.
