The Mister Men

I remember when Tony Benn launched his attempt to become the deputy Labour party leader in 1981 ....

A Shared Vision In The Distance?

.... in order to create a left wing ticket with Labour Party leader Michael Foot (a man he allegedly didn't actually get on with).

 

The Lands That Time Forgot

There used to be a time when the countries of Central and South America were safe havens for escaping Nazi's such as Adolf Eichmann, and Otto Skorzeny (the Great Nazi War Hero) for example, set up a secret organization named Die Spinne which helped as many as 600 former SS men escape from Germany to Spain, Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, Bolivia, and other countries.

Adolf Eichmann Lived In Argentina.

Communists such as Trotsky, would also use Central and South American countries as 'safe havens' .... he famously was killed by Stalin's assassins in Mexico City.

Leon Trotsky - Mexico

The other group that found safe havens in Central and South American countries, were the US and Italian Mafia such as Lucky Luciano, who used these countries as bases of operations when the US or Italian authorities were breathing too heavily on the back of their necks .... Cuba was effectively a Mafia state for a period just after the Second World War.

But now a different breed see South America, and Ecuador in particular, as the place of preference for claiming refugee status ...... now its alleged rapists such as Julian Assange or traitors such as Edward Snowden (who has also asked Ecuador for Asylum) who appear to be the main claimants to the dubious honour roll who have used Southern American states to escape justice.

Julian Assange and Edward Snowden - Both Claiming Asylum Ecuador

A quick glance at Ecuador shows that this is not the Sweden of South America (which is probably a good thing as far as Mr Assange was concerned) .... in fact its a rather typical country for that region, with a history of corrupt weak civilian regimes, interspersed with a military junta (1972–79), and as recently as 2010 they declared a one-week state of emergency, which put the military in charge of public order and suspended civil liberties. It also has the usual South America habit of exploiting the the indigenous Indians human rights (which amounts to about 25% of the population) .... but, hey, that's par for the course.

So isn't it rather strange that these self styled champions of democratic freedom choose this rather socially backward state as the model 'state' to get to? ..... unless of course its the fact that it has no extradition treaties with most European countries and the US?

The Voice of the Taliban

There have been more reports this weekend that the voices of the Taliban heard in radio transmissions in Afghanistan (and presumably Iraq) are often with Birmingham and Yorkshire accents.

This is not new news as the reports were originally written in February but I was struck on how quiet our Dhimmi government is on the fact that British passport holders are travelling abroad to kill British (non Muslim) soldiers.

I tried to think how we would have reacted in less PC driven times ... Churchill put all those of German or Italian descent in the UK, into camps for the duration of the war, and whilst I think that would be a step too far, it surely isn't unreasonable to promise to hang (as traitors) any UK Muslim captured in Afghanistan and Iraq, regardless of the excuses.

Furthermore I would strip their families of their UK passports and deport them all to the country where their son was captured and hung..... they want a Muslim paradise, let them live in one.

A real threat to themselves and the benefit (welfare) cheque lifestyle of their families, might just make these little fucks think twice.
