Supper Heroes

As anyone who visits here often enough will find .... we at PC Towers are very fond of the real superhero stories ...

Superhero Supply Store ... Brooklyn New York

..... in fact as you can see from the previous post, we normally devout entire posts to these little gems, which go from the sublime to the ridiculous in about equal measure ... the last one being in the ridiculous range. 

Double-Barrelled Superhero

A man with the real  name of  'Batman bin Suparman' has been jailed for 33 months by a court in Singapore, on theft and drugs charges after stealing money from a shop, as well as using his brother's cash card to withdraw money.

Batman bin Suparman

This kind of beats the all the other naughty superheroes we have followed on this thread.

His double-barrelled superhero name had given him something of cult following on social media, from as long ago as May 2008, when his a Singaporean ID card began being widely shared on social media with more 15,000 tweets and 11,000 followers on facebook.

Its still an unusual juxtaposition of the native Suparman and the western derived Batman (which probably indicates a parental sense of humour ....

Batman And Superman Have Combined Before ...

 
But now that he's been a very naughty boy, so that's all ended but, hey ho that's social media fame for you.

Beware Greeks Bearing Gifts ~ Away

Vicky Pryce is a Greek born economist, who the left leaning UK newspaper the 'Daily Mirror' often turn to for economic analysis of the Euro-zone crisis, and other economic matters.

 

Greekonomics

 

Partly as she wrote a book called 'Greekonomics' on the Euro-zone crisis from the perspective of Greece.

The New Dark Age

In the week that is the 70th anniversary of Auschwitz, the true state of Europe and us has been exposed. I won't reiterate the Muslim attacks across Europe .... but turn to home, where just as in Europe, Jews are targeted in the UK once again, simply because they are Jews ...and the elephant in the room is that not one of the spineless people in our Parliament will admit that its the presence of immoderate Islam that's leading or pushing Europe back in to the dark ages of Fascism, at a veritable gallop.

In a country in which its not beyond living memory when white skinheads used to go 'Paki-Bashing', this week in the news was a gang of what are described merely as 'thugs', but who appear to be of what is sometimes called 'Pakistani Heritage' went out to commit racially aggravated crimes.

Their chosen victims 'Jews' ..... One of the gang, eighteen year old Balawal Sultan texted to the rest .... 'I'm going to go Jew bashing. Ha Ha' ... then he and his Muslim gang mates, Kesa Malik, Hassnain Aliamin, and a 16yr old who can't be named, went out, and with all the bravery of the gang, hid until their chosen victim, one 41 Jewish man who had never harmed them came along. They then surrounded him, assaulting him with blows and threatening to 'kick his head in'. This is part of a trend that's been running in the UK for a while .... Asian gangs are a fact of life.

Smirking Balawal Sultan ~ Thug or Racist or Just Both?

When arrested, they all admitted racially aggravated assault, but then the cowardly Sultan tried to plead that the attack was prompted by 'Palestine' .... they trot this crap out because they seem to get some credit for this from their fellow religionists and their social workers ... they await sentencing, where no doubt a community sentence awaits.

The victim has been seriously impacted by this attack .... "I was targeted because of my religion, and now I am scared to walk past members of the Asian community"  ....

What's perhaps most disturbing is what the f*ck do we teach instead of history in these PC driven Multicultural days? Even if they are taught nothing else, surely The Genocide is taught, even to those of 'Pakistani Heritage'.... or are they excused this fact, because its doesn't fit their current world view?

Even so, maybe teaching them about 'Paki-Bashing', and how similar to 'Jew Bashing' it is, and how quickly they could be victims themselves if they keep attacking us, might it not make them think for a moment? 

Last word to one of the last survivors of Auschwitz .....

"We survivors do not want our past to be our children's future".... sadly not many of us would bet with certainty that the camps won't come back again.

The New Exodus

I was hoping to put these stories to bed for a while, but it just keeps coming ..... the latest instalment is that free speech is being silenced by fear of reprisals.

Jews Fleeing Europe 30's and 40's ... To Be Repeated?

In Germany, we have seen the response to free speech .... the Pegida marches against the Islamisation of Europe have been silenced, because the German police have uncovered a "concrete" threat against the Pegida organisers. The planned march on the 19th January 2015 was cancelled in Dresden, and now the group is in chaos after the leadership resigned over tactics.

 

Murdoch's Biggest Joke

It was widely reported that 'The Sun' newspaper in the UK, had dropped its 'Page Three' topless girl pictures on the 20th Jan 2015, after over 45 years .... with the reports saying the last girl displayed was 'Lissy Cunningham', from Manchester.

'Lissy Cunningham' from Manchester - Last Page 3

What's laughable is that, while in the 1960's, the feminists in the UK, after mythically burning their bra's, were saying that their bodies were their own, for instance when it came to abortion or how they dressed in public, (or even while jiggling their bits, after burning those bras). Now they are now apparently happy to say that its not up to the individual female models to decide what parts of their own bodies they can, or can't display, but up to other women to decide .... namely them.

Magic Magi

I had never heard of 'Three Kings Bread' before this story, and so I had to look it up ....

Traditionally Three Kings Cake Is Baked Round, Like A King's Crown.

apparently its a  fruitcake, which is traditionally eaten on the 6th of January to mark 'Three Kings Day', aka “El Día de los Reyes”, which is perhaps more properly known as 'Epiphany'.

Paris v USA

The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, has said she plans to sue Fox News, for a broadcast that described parts of the French capital as "no-go zones" for non-Muslims ... "The image of Paris has been prejudiced, and the honour of Paris has been prejudiced."

Paris Mayor Pledges To Sue Fox News

The same offence indeed that Birmingham suffered by the same casual news team and channel .... only Birmingham didn't bother 'suing' .... It will of course get nowhere, but illustrates a lot of differences between Anglo-Saxon thinking and Gallic attitudes.

 

Fox News said the channel had "made some regrettable errors on air regarding the Muslim population in Europe", and apologised "to any and all who may have taken offence, including the people of France and England". Fox has also apologised for the comments by terror expert Steven Emerson, who claimed Birmingham was "totally Muslim" and ruled by Sharia law .... of course only 21% of Birmingham is Muslim. Reports of No Go Zones for non Muslims in the UK have of course been circulating for a number of years.

Still if this is how the US gets its news and views the rest of the world, it does explain a few things.

 

Update: In July 2015, the Washington Post reported that no law suit had been filed, and that attempts to get an answer from the Paris Mayors office had got no response. Apparently it was all just typical French sabre rattling.

The BBC and Images

Did you know that the BBC had a statement read out on its 'Question Time after the Paris attacks, stating that the BBC guidelines specifically forbid printing any images or 'insults' to the Muslim Prophet Mohammed without special dispensation?

Mohammed Gets 'Special Treatment' From BBC

Not Jesus or other religious leaders ... they are covered by a general rule about religious sensibilities .... naturally some organisations, such as the National Secular Society are outraged, and demanding the BBC retract the rule ..... no chance this side of the next terrorist attack of them ever doing this.

Some bloggers, braver than we are at PC Towers, are doing what the BBC should have done when the first cartoon row raged, and printed (warning if you are muslim, you may be offended by the following linked sites) a cartoon ..... and of course so have Muslims in the past.

The BBC really can't be trusted to be impartial on this subject anymore, they are halfway into dhimmitude already.

Missing In Action ~ Frank Lampard

Sometimes social media offers a good chance to vent anger ....

A fan of 'New York City FC' in the Major League Soccer (MLS USA), frustrated over the fact that the ex-Chelsea FC player Frank Lampard, has not transferred to his club directly as expected, having extended his 'loan' period at Manchester City FC instead .... in what many (including me), see as a rather sneaky move by both the player and the owners of MCFC ... has indicated his displeasure by Twitter picture post.

Budddy@elvisghits posted this .....

MIA ~ Frank Lampard

Very funny .... but even funnier when you realise that 'New York City FC' are actually not even a club yet. They are a brand new MLS franchise, and have yet to actually play a single game. They are scheduled to start playing in the 2015 MLS season (which starts in March 2015), and play at Yankee Stadium in New York City.

So this 'fan' is actually a supporter of club he's never seen, complaining about a player who has never played, for a club that has never played a game. Even CS Lewis character Alice in Wonderland would have had her head spinning over the absurdities of all this ..... in effect he's missing inaction.

But you have to laugh at the sense of injustice and indignation that's been done to his new club, when he's never seen them play a single game.

Political Donkeys

After the recent porkie protests against corruption in Uganda, the use of animals to make a point and caught on in that part of Africa. In Nairobi a herd of donkeys was dumped in the cities central business district in an apparent political protest ...

Donkeys Everywhere ...

The donkeys were each painted with the word "tumechoka", which is Swahili for "we're fed up", and an activist shouted from the crowd "we are tired of this leadership", so its believed that the rising insecurity in the country, as Kenya gets attacked by Muslim terrorists (the same groups that are attacking every one these days), is the cause of this protest. The "tumechoka" slogan was recently used in a street protest against a brutal bus attack in northern Kenya in November 2014.

No group came forward to claim responsibility (the driver had been merely paid cash to drop the donkeys off and didn't know who they were), especially after the police said that arrests had been made of people it suspected of this "evil act"......

'Police had a hectic time trying to control the crowd'

.... in the meantime, the police took the donkeys to their Moroto offices, and they are now being looked after by an animal welfare organisation.

The Hippo "Tumechoka" Protest Turned Tragic Quite Quickly!!

Pigs, Donkeys, whatever next? This blog is waiting with some anticipation for the first use of hippos or crocodiles in a protest.

Conspiracy Of Silence

There is a conspiracy of silence amongst Western political and religious leaders, whenever Muslims go on the rampage in non western countries .... for instance when the mosques whip up a mob, and launch them on to the streets to attack 'crusaders' (aka Christians), nothing is said, no matter how many Christians are killed.

Amongst the fall out of the Charlie Hebdo affair, righteous mobs were launched out of mosques in many countries after Friday prayers, to avenge the honour of their prophet .... by, well, killing, raping, burning and ultimately dying in his name.

In Niger for example, in the second city of Zinder, 'demonstrators' set fire to Christian churches, and raided shops that were run by Christians. They were apparently crying out in the local Hausa language: "Charlie is Satan - let hell engulf those supporting Charlie" ... which is apparently an excuse to burn down churches, and burn out Christians homes and businesses (after looting them of course).

Predictable Reaction From The Religion Of Peace

Similar events happened in Karachi and Lahore in Pakistan and Algiers in Algeria and Khartoum in Sudan .... although a lack of any Christians left after previous such events in the past few decades limited the effects there.

So did anyone protest about the violence visited on the Christians in Niger? No. Not one word from any western politicians, and of course stone cold silence from Muslims in the West .... of course ironically, usually more Muslims are killed in these rampages than non-Muslims, but that doesn't lessen the fact that innocents are killed, simply for being Christians in the lands of Islam.

The double standards employed by everyone in regards to the treatment of Muslims and Christians in the West and the Muslim world would be breathtaking, if it wasn't so predictable for the current brand of western leadership.

Women Need Not Exist

Anyone who visits this site, will be aware that we at PC Towers just love the photo-shopping skills that eradicate unwanted individuals from pictures. The finest (not), exponents of this skill are the religious nut-cases of the Middle East .....

HaMevaser Newspaper ~ Women Need Not Exist.

 .... in this case the Haredi Orthodox Jewish sect. These are the guys with the black hats and stringy side locks ... their women dress in black, and use head scarves or wigs.

 

Hypocrites on Parade

The French Solidarity rally on the 11th of January, following the terrorist attacks, brought out some very strange political bedfellows .... allegedly all at the invite of President François Hollande of France.

Paris March Hijacked By Politician Hypocrites

Now at face value of it, all this solidarity is all very laudable, except that many of those leaders who attended, have regimes with no 'freedom of speech'.

Catnip Christmas

What to do with old Christmas trees has been a problem for over a century.

Composting Old Xmas Trees Takes A Long Time

Some are just thrown on to the garden waste (where they can last a very, very, long time before they decompose) ... so not that popular anymore.

 

Flying Saucers To Mars

All the 'UFO's ever 'seen' (and we have covered the subject a few times), are earth sourced .... no evidence of an extraterrestrial source has ever been proven. So the news that NASA are considering developing spacecraft that strongly resembles a flying saucer, will confirm to many, that all UFO's are merely mistaken natural events that are misunderstood, such as 'ball lightening', or test flights of different designs by aviation companies e.g. Stealth Bombers. 

British Rail Had Plans To Expand Its Fleet.

Of course the Nazi Flying Saucer, or Alien Technology at 'Area 51' (actually hanger 18, 'foreign technology section', at the Wright Patterson Airbase for 'true' followers of these things), conspiracists, won't be put off, because this news can easily be accommodated within their belief system via backward engineering.

US Presidential Dynasty's

Who would have thought it (well we did sometime ago), but another cowboy is preparing to ride into town, as ex-Florida governor Jeb Bush, brother and son of US Presidents, is taking the first little steps towards a run on the White House in 2016.

We Three Kings - US Presidential Royalty.

Now unlike his brother, he is pro-immigration reform, his wife being a Mexican national, and he supports the federal Common Core education programme, and doesn't belong to the religious wing of the Republican party.

 

Apologists For Silence

We in the West live in a civilisation, in which women are declared as equal to men, in which we are free to not bend to any religious dogma, where freedom of expression is or should be an absolute imperative, where freedom of thought should be be non-negotiable, and the freedom to speak out against tyranny or threats is a baseline.

 

Sheikh Harith al-Nadhari - 'Limit To Free Speech'

So while no one is suggesting that everything Charlie Hebdo drew, or wrote was funny (especially outside of France, where most French humour falls flat) ... but defending their freedom to say, draw and write what they wanted, is fundamental to what we are, or rather were, until we were asked by many to change our way of life, to accommodate one new group migrating into our civilisation .... but now "the danger within" (as one German security source has described them), is likely to force us to either react, or submit (accommodation is simply not an option). 

Je Suis Charlie

The Blood soaked altars of Islam claimed some more sacrificial victims today, when twelve more brave men and women were murdered by Islamic Jihadists, this time at the offices of the left-wing and secular satirical magazine 'Charlie Hebdo' in Paris France.

But, in the week in which thousands have marched in Germany under the banner of the name 'Pegida', against the 'Islamisation' of Europe, it has also brought into sharp relief, the debate the between the Western European concepts of 'Freedom of Speech', and the concept of 'Freedom of Religion'. Does the right of people to practise their religion (no matter how odious), outweigh the rights of those of whose who think they are either deluded, or dangerous, or both?

Of course ironically, the left-wing in Germany counter marched to 'support' the Muslims .... how many will do so next time?

Charlie Hebdo had been attacked before by petrol bombs, however on that occasion no one was hurt, but this time it wasn't just the ten men and women of the editorial staff, and the two policemen outside, who have been killed, it was also a bloody assault on core European Values.... the very same values that allow those Muslims who detest the West, to spout their hatred, and yet still live here in safety (certainly compared to the treatment of non Muslims in Islamic societies).

Once again the Gates of Vienna are being pushed by the forces of backwardness .... its up to us all not to blink, or our cowardly politicians will appease these barbarians in the name of 'cohesion' .... the only real response would be for every publication in Europe to publish the Mohammed cartoons again on their front covers, and let Jihadists see that the days of being able to force acquiescence from our press are over.

Tribute By Oriol Malet

When last they were attacked, the editor Stephane Charbonnier (who died today), said that Islam should not be excluded from 'freedom of the press' to comment in the West. He added that "If we can poke fun at everything in France, if we can talk about anything in France apart from Islam, or the consequences of Islamism, that is annoying."

He bravely added that "This is the first time we have been physically attacked, but we won't let it get to us" .... to my shame I suspected that it would get to them editorially ..... they proved me wrong, but at a terrible price.

Charlie Hebdo RIP

Seeing Is Believing

"Life, but not as we know it Scotty" ..... The words attributed to Captain Kirk whenever they found something they couldn't explain. Well here's one for you:

1). Down load this picture from the NASA site ... http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a15/AS15-89-12016HR.jpg

2). Open it up fully using a photo-viewer that allows close-ups and ...

... well an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) is apparent if you look closely.

Or, if you trust me not to have Photoshopped it, then look at these examples from the picture ...

I Have Ringed The Object For Clarity - Original Image On Link

Closer View

Much Closer

Of course the uncritical part of the web goes wild .... but look more carefully ......
 

A Tail Is Clearly Visible

With no atmosphere on the Moon to leave 'a trail', the line beneath and to the left of the 'UFO', suggests something a little more prosaic .... a bit of lens dirt, aka lens specks, the curse of cameras since their creation. Probably a pollen speck with a tail, or maybe something like lint from the polishing process on Earth.

"Seeing is believing" as they say, but more often than not, we "see only what we want to see".

Wasted Hot Air

Apparently, the 113th Congress of the United States approved more legislation in the last week it sat, than it had done in many preceding months ~ Most of these laws passed were temporary extensions of existing tax measures, lasting just two more weeks (until the end of 2014), when the 'negotiations' to try and approve some 'sensible' taxes will resume.

So this makes 113th session one of the least productive of Congresses in modern history.

The legislative body approved far fewer bills than the group of lawmakers former President Harry Truman called the “do-nothing Congress.” Those legislators, serving from 1947 to 1949, passed some 900 laws, which is positively speedy compared to this current Congress.
 

Trueman's Do-nothing Congress ...

...... this one was actually proud to declare that it passed more than 200 bills into law during the past two years .... which was well short of the worst before it.

End Of World Cancelled

For reasons that were pretty pointless I looked up the Book of Revelations .... 

 

The Revelations Start With
The Opening Of The 7 Seals

 

and I discovered one strange thing (Out of many), which I thought particularly odd.

The Honours Dishonoured

The honours system once again proved how pernicious the class system still is in the UK. It was noticeable in this New Years Honours List, that the famous, the rich, the powerful, and the political establishment, are given Knighthoods, or are made Dames, while those who are not in the top 0.01% of society are not.

This was nicely illustrated by the fact that MP's, Anne McGuire and David Amess, both got top honours i.e. she became a Dame, and he was Knighted ... Who are they? What have they ever done except be voting lobby fodder? Who knows .... possibly not even them .... certainly they have never held high office that I am aware of.

Similarly the comic 'actor' James Corden, a man whose career up until the age of 36 (if a couple of years of low level fame is a ''career'), has gained him a OBE 'for his work in film and television'. Some people work 30 years, saving people's lives or making a difference, to get a similar medal. e.g A lady who has given more than four decades of dedicated service to the Scouting movement in Romford, Essex, was made an MBE.

Dr Campbell, the inventor of Viagra in 1985 was only made a Knight in this year's honours. Only 30 years after his initial  research into blood pressure led to Viagra in 1998.

There are even super upgrades for the top elite. .. .. Baroness Ashton the former EU foreign policy chief got an upgrade to the highest class of the Order of Saint Michael and Saint George ... obviously her Baronetcy wasn't enough reward. While the inventor of the wind up radio Trevor Baylis has now got a CBE to add to his OBE ... No step up for him .... next stop an MBE?. He's obviously not the right stuff, unlike the clothes designer Mary Quant who was also made a Dame.

The lower awards invariably go to the 99.9% of us who are not in the elite 0.01% ..... but lets not forget that the same 'honours' system gave us:

• Sir James Savile OBE, KCSG ~ Paedophile.
• Sir Fred Goodwin ~ Goodwin's knighthood, awarded in 2004 for "services to banking", was "cancelled and annulled" on 1 February 2012 ~ remains a millionaire.
• Sir Jeffrey Archer ~ Resigned as MP resigned over a financial scandal which left him almost bankrupt. Later resigned as chairman of Conservative party after another scandal, conviction and subsequent imprisonment for perjury and perverting the course of justice ~ remains a millionaire.
• Baron Hanningfield ~was convicted of false accounting in the Parliamentary Expenses scandal and sent to prison. Following his release, he resumed his parliamentary career as an independent peer.
• Baron Taylor ~ Found guilty by the jury on six counts of false accounting, relating to the Parliamentary Expenses scandal and sent to prison. Disbarred from practising Law.

The Queen Often Forced To 'Honour' The Undeserving ......

and finally ....

• Sir Robert Mugabe ~ In 1994, Mugabe was appointed an honorary Knight Grand Cross in the Order of the Bath by Queen Elizabeth II. On 25 June 2008, the Queen cancelled and annulled the honorary knighthood after advice from the Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom. "This action has been taken as a mark of revulsion at the abuse of human rights and abject disregard for the democratic process in Zimbabwe over which President Mugabe has presided."

........ enough said.

Just for the record for those who don't understand them, these are the Commonly Awarded Ranks:

• Companion of Honour - Limited to 65 people. Recipients wear the initials CH after their name
• Knight or Dame - Top honour
  
• CBE - Commander of the Order of the British Empire
• OBE - Officer of the Order of the British Empire
• MBE - Member of the Order of the British Empire
• BEM - British Empire Medal

..... yeah, I know, we haven't got any empire anymore .... its just one more part of the anachronism.
