UKIP Gagged Again In European Parliament
by Ed Butt
We have warned since we began The Daily Stirrer of the undemocratic global neonazi consensus that has hijacked the EU and European Parliament. Today, as Ian who is our main writer is still laid up with a back injury and John is still down with non-porcine flu we brink you more on the abolition of free speech and dissent. Check out this post from no - holds - barred blogger Trixy on how a UKIP MEP was suspended for criticising the unelected head of EU common foreign policy Baroness Ashton.

More Big Brown Lies
by Ed Butt
A blog we always enjoy though we suspect the person or people behind it would not agree with out now defunct brand of Liberalism is Burning Our Money
These bloggers have set themselves the task of alerting reders to the Government's attempts to pull the wool over our eyes about exactly how they waster the 48% of our hard earned they rake back into the national coffers.
Gordon Brown spoke today of his plans to protect the illusory recovery by printing and spending even more money and thus running up bigger deficits which future generations will have to repay. Well while Godon give the impression of being a man so embarrassed by riches he can scatter banknotes around the economy like rose petals are scattered around the temple at a Hindu wedding, the Burning Our Money bloggers have provided an analysis of the ievitably disastrous consequences of Labour's latest financial insanity.

Gagging Of UKIP's Farage shows Nazis are alive and well in the EU
The fining of UKIP MEP for saying something the unelected "President" (Kommisar) of the European Union Herman von Rumpuoy - Pumpy tells us all we need to know about the EU attitude to democracy. Europe Racing Towards Dictatorship
Far be it from us to tell you who to vote for (no Daily Stirrer writers will be voting UKIP but you can is you wish and good luck to them). What we will say is that unless you fncy living in a bureaucratic authoritarian superstate run by unelected Brussels fonctionnaires, make sure yoiu vote for a candidate who supports Britain leaving the UK.
I am not wildly enthusiastic about the idea of leaving the EU but if the alternative is living in a neo - nazi multicultual nightmare it's a no brainer. We have to get out.

No Miracles Before 2012
by Ian R Thorpe
What a strange couple of weeks, no major articles from our writers because nothing much that is new and worth commenting on has happened.
There was that ridiculous poll published in The Sunday Times that suggested the Conservatives lead was down to 2% which would mean a hung Parliament. Funny is't it how whenever that phrase "hung Parliament" comes up people start to walk around wearing a small grin of morbid anticipation.
It was all a storm in a teacup however. On Sunday comentators were pointing out the Conservative lead had diminished by five percentage points between the poll first being published in early editions and the final edition hitting the streets. By Tuesday polls were once again showing a Conservative lead of 6%. Kerfuffle over.
But what do people expect from a new Government. A week of dire economic news and a ludicrous upward revision in the economic statistics for the final quarter of 2009 saw the value of the Pound drop several cents against the US$ and similar amounts against other world currencies on Monday. Apart from demonstrating how accrurately we at The Daily Stirrer have predicted the movements of the economy it should have reminded you all the recession is far from over. In fact this is not a recession, it is a fundamental shift in the balance of power from West to East.
One commentator said:
“I hate to burst your bubble, but if you’re looking to the next election to ‘fix things’, you’re in for a terrible surprise; whoever wins the next election might affect how fast things deteriorate, but the terrible outcome is certain.”
We could not have put it better ourselves.

Britian's Credit Rating Lowered?
by John De Roe
The Government is not going to admit it ahead of an election but Guido Fawkes who is seldom wrong on these matters pointed his readers to this story from the Financial Times suggesting that thanks to Gordon Brown's insane and uncontrolled spending Britain's credit rating has alread been lowered from Triple A status. This has little immediate impact on nus as individuals but it does show that far from recovering the Britush economy is sinking deeper into the shit.
We are now right up with the PIIGS in the race to national bankruptcy, still a little behind Greece but ahead of Ireland, Iceland, Portugal and Italy. And we cannot even blame the iniquities of the Single Currency. Labour did it all by themselves.
What it does mean for all of us is the cost of servicing our crippling debts rises as creditor nations demand higher interest on what they see as riskier debt. As the wretchedly incompetent Labour government are already borrowing to pay the interest we owe on what we have already borrowed there is only one possible conclusion. We're up shit creek.

Lib Dems Must Vote Labour - Says Senior Labour MP
by Ed Butt
Labour has played a nasty undemocratic trick in every election for as long as anybody can remember. They spread fear and panic about the misery and hardship Conservative policies will cause and then warn supporters of the Liberal Democrats that by supporting their party of choice, the party that most closely reflects their views, in a democratic election they will let in the evil Conservatives to wreak havoc with everybody's standard of living except that of the wealthy and privileged.
This time the task of spreading this wicked lie on behalf of the party of authoritarian control freakery is that permatanned piece of poo Peter Hain. Yes that's right Hain, the shit who billed the taxpayers for his Sky TV subscription and a tree surgeon to ten his garden and has the nerve to call the Tories money grubbing scumbags.
I will be voting Lib Dem or Green even though in the constituency where I live my vote never means anything. I believe in democracy you see and democracy has nothing to do with being told how to vote by a scummy little creep who while he presents himself as a leftie is well to the right of Margaret Thatcher and every bit as self interested as those African Village Tyrants who shaft the west for billions in aid to feed their starving nations then stash the lot in their own Swiss bank accounts.
The Daily Stirrer would not presume to tell you how to vote. We will remind you however that every time we have had a Labour government, for all their talk of fairness and redistribution of wealth the rich do very well and the poor end up poorer
Think Lib Dem Vote Labour Says Hain Hain's article here is hypocritical arse dribble. The comment thread is great though If you liked this, please give it a boost

Getteing Hot Under The Collar About Homeopathy
by Ian R. Thorpe
This will only be a short post on the hot topic of Homeopathy linking to an article by a mainstream media journalist who is asking the same questions as I have about why the science lobby get so heated at the mention of homeopathy. Let me say here though I have never used homeopathic remedies nor do I ever intend to. Although several people of my acquaintance swear by the technique the arguments are not convincing in my view.
Strangely, every time we mention homeopathy on our satirical journal Boggart Blog although it is given the same disrespectful treatment as politics, banking, celebrity culture and any other topic that is in the news, among the comments there will always be a few from people who seem convinced that because the word "homeopathy" or anything related to it does not drive is into a spluttering, spitting rage as we bluster about "unscientific mumbo jumbo" we must be supporters of homeopathy. What makes us suspect there is an agenda being touted by such organised groups is the ferocity of their attacks not only on homeopathic practitioners and users of the medicines but on anybody who expresses even a neutral position on the subject.
This is becoming an attitude we encounter more frequently among member of the "progresive left" and the type of people who preface their comments with phrases like "I'm a scientist," or "if you were a scientist." The Daily Stirrer believes we are all entitled to our opinion. If you like homeopathy and believe it works for you fine, we would love to hear from you but have decided not to invite comments due to the "scrubbing" of the net by cliques promoting an agenda. We would love to hear from people who think there is no validity in the claims of homeopaths too, but for the fact that most of them assume anybody who does not agree with them is an idiot.
We also don't like the way these crypto fascists who like to call themselves liberals will target a blog en masse and try to shout down the individual and idiosyncratic ideas it is expressing.
Homeopathy is neither very big nor in the scheme of things very important. Why does it then excite such passion among the "science is god" faction of the medical and academic community. Unless of course they are trying to divert attention from scandals much more deserving of close public scrutiny.
That then is our position on homeopathy and on free speech. For a well informed, bananced view on the argument about homeopathic treatments on the NHS read: This Homeopathy Row Has Nothing To Do With Placebos by Zoe Williams

Another Domino Falls
by Ed Butt
Prospect Magazine, formerly a supporter of the AGW climate science lobby has managed to get a grip on reality and start questioning the dodginess of the science that has been used to justify plans for a swingeing carbon tax on affluent westerners and a system of global governance.
In Too Hot To Handle the editorial discusses the need to be certain of the facts before we commit to spending £$trillions on schemes that are not guaranted to work and often seem more like the fantasies of climate scientists coming down from a bad acid trip than logical and well thought out projects.
We also need to know a lot more about what is going on before we agree to give up our individual freedoms and collective rights and agree to accept orders from a bunch of limp wristed vegan Nazis.

Climate Change Sceptic Gagged By BBC by Ed Butt
Tell the lie often enough and it will become true went the dictum of Nazi propaganda chiefs. That was not the only technique Hitler's supporters used for impressing misinformation on the minds of the public. They also silenced dissent and stifled those who would speak out against their odious plans.
We know the BBC is in the hands of supporters of the "progressive" left New Labour authoritarian government but what they have done in dumping UKIP MEP Nigel Farage from the Question Time show being broadcast live this week from Middlesborough is in violation of the BBC charter which requires the state broadcaster to fairly represent all views. Farage hsad intended to speak out about the closure of Britain's last great steelworks at Redcar and the blatant corruption involved in its sale to Indian conglomerate Tata International.

Climate Change Indoctrination
by Ed Butt
Have you felt recently that we are being indocrtinated with the message that Climate Change is being caused solely by rising levels of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and that it is all our fault, us, the punters. We were told the science was "settled" and anthropogenic global warming due to CO2 is a proven scientific fact. Aside from nobody knowing the difference between a scientific fact and an ordinary, everyday fact, the science on the link between CO2 and climate change was never settled, there are many contributing factors but the main one, the one which the Climate Science Thought Police who are a cohort of the Politically Correct Thought Police will never mention is that there are just too many people on the planet.
Raise this issue however, as we have in The Daily Stirrer, and you will immediately be accused by the Climate Change Thought Police of advocating Eugenics. All this proves is these people who like to call themselves scientists and present themselves as much more intelligent that us ordinary mortals do not know what Eugenics means.
The AGW religionists have the support of government and certain big businesses that hope to profit from climate change in their efforts to brrainwash us. Which big businesses? Find out HERE Strangely however it is not the government or the catastrophe capitalists who are footing the bill for a massive PR campaign of indoctrination that employs all the techniques of misinformation, distortion, repetition of lies and threatening messages to get the fearful public bck on message after the recent embarrassments of climategate and the Copenhagen Climate Conference fiasco. Oh no, thanks to the generosity of government it is we, the taxpayers, who are footing the bill for our own indoctrination.
Iain Dale's Diary reports on his blog that government funds are being channeled to an organisation with a political agenda and no democratic accountability so they may push back into the public consciousness certain "scintific facts" that have recently been disproved, discredited or shown to be the result of using fradulent data to produce statistics.

Big Business The Enemy Of Free Markets
by Ian R Thorpe
The headline on American right leaning newsblog Pajamas Media caught my eye because although Pajamas has some excellent writers and I always enjoy reading well written arguments that oppose my own views (it keeps the brain well honed) a story under that headline must surely be out of step with the usual stance of supporters of the American free market, low tax, small government right.
It seems at Pajamas at least American Conservatism is catching onto the fact that the political position of the giant supra - national conglomerates has more in common with Stalinist Russia than with the UK's Liberal government under Lloyd George or the Labour administration of Atlee. Corporate politics is not so much the Corporate State as the Nation Corporation but the only real difference is where one serves the party elite the other serves the shareholding elite.
What we saw happening in the crazy days before the credit crunch was the world moving towards a system where the Corporations existed outside national boundaries, they were becoming virtual entities, moving funds and business processes around in cyberspace to evade taxation and regulation. Surely, you are thinking, that is the ultimate expression of free markets. Not so. The corporations with the complicity of governments of the right and left with increasingly authoritarian tendencies are determinedly trying to achieve monopolies and if they cannot gain a monopoly to form a cartel so that smaller, more nimble rivals can be crushed and the market carved up between a few big players.
That is not free market economics at all but it is beloved of social democratic parties in Europe and the USA. Britain's "New" Labour government that has ruled for the past twelve years has always been more corporate friendly than even Margaret Thatcher's Conservatives. The Obama administration appears to be managing the nation for the benefit of Goldman Sachs.
More and more I see among writers of the right and left comparisons of modern governments with the Big Brother regime of George Orwell's novel 1984. People who do write of this are dismissed by the politically correct centre as conspiracy theorists. Anybody familiar with the novel cannot fail to have noticed however the many similarities between governments of the so called "Progressive Left" and the secretive and deceitful regime depicted in 1984 with its propaganda and spin, the obsession with surveillance and the use of fear and panic (Swine Flu, Climate Catastrophe, Terrorism and War) to browbeat people into complicity as their civil liberties, rights of free speech and free movement and even the right to self determination are curtailed in the name of security.
Pajamas Media are right Big Business is the enemy of free speech just as big government is the enemy of individual freedom. Read the full article Big Business As An Opponent Of Free Markets

The End Of Anthropogenic Global Warming?
Anthropogenic Global Warming, it was a pseudo scientific phrase that always irritated us. With further revelations of data being manipulated, peer reviews from friendly faces being organised and institutional suppression of dissenting voices almost every day the "consensus" that the "science is settled" is dead in the water.
This does not mean the problem of climatechaos has gone away but at least we may be able to set about dealing with the problem in a practical way instead of wasting time and effort on idiotic schemes like carbon trading which could never solve anything and were created specifically for the puropse of making the rich and powerful even more rich and powerful by throwing taxpayers money at them.

Killing History In Our Schools And Universities
by Xavier Connolly
“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed
–if all records told the same tale–then the lie passed into
history and became truth. “Who controls the past,” ran the
Party slogan, “controls the future: who controls the present
controls the past.”…George Orwell, “1984?
Yes we are into Orwell and 1984 again. Then news item that has prompted the reference this time is the government's plan to cut funding to history departments. Next year alone funding for the history curriculum will be slashed by almost half a billion, yes billion, pounds.
At the Daily Stirrer we have often highlighted Labour's authoritarian tendency. Just read that quote from 1984 (above) carefully and you see how he attack on history fits into a pattern, "the agenda" you might say. Control information and you control thought, control history however and all the cultural references that support nationhood, bind communities together and form the threads of the national narrative are destroyed. The authoritarian agenda of New Labour comes to resemble Big Brother's regime in Orwell's novel more closely every day.
The government tries to justify this attack on the character, the soul on the British nation, by citing the need to focus our efforts on subjects that will support the economic backbone of the nation in future. These they believe are mathematics, from which very few people have ever made money, and "science" although they are rather coy about which science.
One might argue that few people ever made a fortune from history although vast amounts of money have been made by people like Dan Brown and Mel Gibson from distorting it. Education is not directly about making money however. The purpose of education is to develop children into adults able to take their place in society and become valuable and valued members. There is a little more depth to a quality education than a sackful of diplomas and certificates.
One of the things that stacks up against history in the agenda of the "Progressive Liberals" and their nasty, illiberal agenda is that one of the lessons we ignore at our peril is multiculturalism does not work. Multiculturalism than the politically correct ideology that spawned it are the root cause of the social and economic catastrophe facing the old industrial nations now. These ludicrous ideals dreamed up by Californian stoners in the 1960s have no more to do with reality than the fantasies of Lewis Carrol.
I have spoken at times to my eldest grandchild of school history having been appalled by the politically correct claptrap that informs some of his comments. What appears to be taught in school as British history seems to focus on Africa and the slave trade, painting our nation as the Great Satan that sought to enslave a continent. And of domestic history there seems to be a great deal on the oppression of women and hardly a mention of great British achievements in engineering, navigation, agriculture, textiles, medicine and a hundred other fields.
We have to put a stop to this indoctrination by a small, unrepresentative, undemocratic faction of the political left who have hijacked the Labour party and public services and infiltrated the Liberal Democrats. Teach the facts and let young people make up their minds about the politics later in their lives. It is true that in the past women were treated badly but we should also mention that in the brutal and brutish past men were treated badly too. It is true that slavery was a terrible thing but a crime against humanity perpetrated solely by the British on Africans? Nonsense. Slaves were one of the first commodities traded by primitive tribes, the economic systems of all early civilisations were founded on slavery. And had the African traders not offered slaves to European merchant mariners in exchange for luxury goods no slave trade would have been possible. Instead of being taught to flagellate themselves with guilt about slavery our young people should learn to be proud of the fact that we were the first to abandon the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
Britain has much to be ashamed of in it's past, from King Edward 1's persection of Jews, through Henry VIII's reign of terror, and Elizabeth I's suppression of dissent which set neighbout to spy on neighbour, the horrors of the Civil War right to the present day marginalisation of the working class. Let us not forget though there is much more of which we may be proud.
From the perspective of today things may look bad but that is why we must teach history properly, objectively and without its being tainted by political agendas.

Robin Hood Tax - Global Tax On Banks
by Ian R. Thorpe
Gordon Brown has been busy all week telling everybody who would listen there was "growing universal support' for Barack Obama's idiotic, ineffectual and unworkable proposal for a levy on financial transactions to tax the banks and curb their profligacy as well as stopping them gambling on dodgy investment vehicles with depositors money.
We all despise bankers, we all want to stick it to them for the misery cause by their irresponsibility and greed but few are deluded enough to think that a tax imposed in the USA and among those leaders who remain convinced Obama is a god come to earth cannot succeed. Without the support of the Chinese nothing can succeed.
The problem with Obama, and at first it was a joke but now it is becoming a more serious problem every day, is that he thinks he is President of the World. Those dwindling few who believe this, "the progressive left" as they like to style themselves are the kind of nasty little neo Nazis who would like to and have talked of making a criminal offence of disagreeing with them. This is fine in nations ruled by tyrants but listen to the outraged howls of the "progressive left" when anybody points out that to make climate change denial a crime would be to establish a tyranny.
"We can't be tyrants," they wail, "we're socialists." Yeah so was Stalin. And Hitler as it happens.
Before Sidi Obama has chance to impose his solipsistic agenda on the world, before Gordon Brown, whose mismanagement of the UK economy over the past twelve years, lectures us on the need to support him in implementing some kind of Orwellian Big Brother regime before we can rebuild our nation, before dissent is outlawed and to prevent those things happening we must all take on board these words from Dean William Inge I came across on the excellent Wolf Howling blog.
It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favor of vegetarianism while the wolf remains of a different opinion.

Branson Warns Of Energy Crisis Bigger Than The Debt Crisis and Rampant Inflation To Come
by John De Roe
Sir Richard Branson is the most prominent voice among a bunch of businessmen warning we face an increase in energy prices that will make the problems of the credit crunch look like a blip on the radar.. The Industry Task force for Peak Oil and Energy Security is predicting a sustained rise in the oil price to more than $100 within five years.
Five years, what planet do they live on?
Over the past year the value of Sterling and the US$ have fallen 25% in real terms, that is against gold and commodities. So far the Euro has fared better but is now struggling because of the sovereign debt crises in Eurozone economies including Greece, Ireland, Spain and Portugal.
That disastrous collapse in the main western currencies will start to filter through to the sometime very soon. Expect not just the price of the fuel your car runs on or you use to heat your home to rise. As the cost of raw materials rises so will the cost of good produced in the west. Food prices are already inflating at an alarming rate and the debt driven western economies will surely be hit by rising interest rates later this year.
When governments were talking of their economies coming out of recession remember The Daily Stirrer was warning of a prolonged slump as the idiotic ideals of the "progressive left" agenda of internationalism and multi-culturalism made us fall guys for China, Russia and the Arab oil states.
If you want to know the truth follow The Daily Stirrer. If you want to live in cloud cuckoo land with Gordon Brown, Barack Obama, Sarko and all the ther pseudo intellectual fuckwit advocates of globalisation follow the sheep.

Mad Jad To Punch The West
by Ed Butt
This Thursday, the 11th February ins the 31sy anniverasry on the Iranial revolution that deposed Shah Reza and installed the Islamic theocracy that has ruled the nation since. To commemorate the occasion Iran's current supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini has announced Iran will "deliver a punch that will stun the world."
Now this is most likely an example of the hyperbolic rhetoric favoured by the leaders of middle eastern nations. What else could it be?
An attack on Israel? Unlikely as the Israelis are more havily armed and better prepared.
A concerted attempt to drive down the value of the USA dollar by selling bonds in the world markets? The Muslim nations would need the support of China and Japan for that so it is at worst a remote possibility.
A blockade of shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz through which a third on the world's oil passes on its way to the industrial centres of the east and west? A possibility because it is one of the few actions Iran could take unilaterally but the Saudis on the other side of the Strait, though a smller nation in terms of population are immensely wealthy and have a modern, well equippied military.
A terrorist attack in the West by Iranian sponsored terrorists. Even the Iranian leadership, as collectively insane as they are, would hardly telegraph that. A terrorsts chief weapon is surprise and fear...a terrorists two chief weapons are surprise, fear and - ah, The Daily Stirrer deals in serious news and comment, not Monty Python's Spanish Inquisition sketch.
So wat might be this "punch that will stun world powers? We reckon Iran's secular leader, the diminutive bruiser Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is going to challenge the putative "leader of the free world" Barack Obama, tall but limp wristed to a cage fight.
Now that would be worth seeing.

Has Labour Politicized The Civil Service?
by Xavier Conolly
An article written by senior Conservative Francis Maude and published by several sources today accuses the Labour government of having politicized the Civil Service. One is tempted to respond "He would say that wouldn't he?" and there is little reason to suspect The Conservatives would behave any differently in a similar position.
There is one memorable point made by Maude however as he excoriates this abysmal government. Attacking the way in which official Government websites have been hijacked to serve the Labour agenda he has this to say:
This week we uncovered another example of this type of exploitation, with Labour hijacking the government's "Backing Young Britain" brand and using it as a recruitment tool on its website, accompanied by the phrase "Only Labour believes every young person deserves the opportunity to a fair chance in life".
Not only do we see the mendacity of Labour and their determination to subjugate everything to "the project" which we can only assume is Orwellian Newspeak for the creation of a Big Brother style regime in which even the most minute aspects of each individuals private life is not free from government control, but we are shown how far removed the Labour leadership is from anything that could be described as reality.
Labour claims they believe every child deserves the opportunity of a fair chance in life but their policies in education have ensured only those children whose parents can afford either to privately educated them or to live in the expensive suburbs that form the catchment areas of high performing state schools have any hope of getting a fair chance in life.

Liberal Democrats Heading For Apocalypse?
by Ed Butt
As we have said before we old gits who write The Daily Stirrer are all former members of The Liberal Party and thus our political sympathies tend to lie with the Liberal Democrats although we have all remained very suspicious of the party's often slavish attachment to the Politically Correct Thought Police ideology of New Labour.
In the past few days Ian has been involved in a discussion at the semi - official Liberal Democrat website Liberal Democrat Voice. One of the bloggers at Lib Dem Voice posted an article attacking Tory Shadow Cabinet Member Chris Grayling for misrepresenting theLabour Government's's fraudulent denial that violent crime has increased. The blogger argued that the conservative interpretation was dishones as the way violent crimes are counted was changed some years ago.
Ian's argument was simply that there is nothing to be gained in whining about Tory dishonesty when the real issue of the election is Labour dishonesty in the way they have used oficial statistics to misrepresent the stae of the economy, crime, unemployment, education, health and everything else. The guy arguing with Ian, someone called John Cartmell seems to think we should all believe all government statistics.
Ian, along with everyone else who lives in the real world believes no one should believe any official statistics ever. One thing is for sure, if Liberal Democrats when canvassing in the election campaign respond to voters concerns about the way the police and government have abandoned the sreets to criminal and anto social elements by quoting "official statistics" claiming crime has fallen the Lib Dems are heading for electoral oblivion.

Scientists Are Fallible
recommended by Ed Butt
We get a bit fed up at times of commenting on the latest idiocies of the Science - as - God brigade. Their assumptions of intellectual and moral superiority, their glib assumption that anybody who is not "a scientist" cannot possibly understand this thing called science and their haughty dismissal of reasonable questioning and healthy scepticism has stirred up a lot of opposition.
The Guardian newspaper has become one of the bastions of Science-is-Godism so it is good to see one of the paper's senior journalists taking much the same stance as The Daily Stirrer in advising scientists to climb down from their ivory towers, stop pretending they are infallible and be prepared, when faced with well thought out challenges to admit that while they may not be totally wrong they are seldom absolutely right.
Science thrives in the controlled conditions of the laboratory. Real life has this irritating way of being unscientific.

Labour's Minimum Wage Scam
by Ian R. Thorpe
When you hear of a Conservative politician praising Labour for creating a 'flexible job market' that benefits British employers it does not ring true. What Lord Freud was really praising the government for was letting bosses screw their workers by turning a full time job into a part time job. Not the sort of jobs policy you expect from Labour but we're always said they are more Tory than the Tories...

Authoritarian Box Ticking Culture.
by Ian R. Thorpe
Among the things that have alienated people from the Labour party apart from generakl incompetence, is their arrogant and patronising conviction the public are resady to believe anything the government tells them so long as it is dressed up in statistics and delivered by some fresh faced, smooth talking Labour spinmeister. It is very like the authoritarian regime of Orwell's 1984

Evangelical Christianity Crucified
Ian R. Thorpe
The Obama effect on American society seems to be the opposite of what was hoped for. Religious fundamentalism, particularly Evangelical Christianity seems to have more influence than ever while Obama's failure as a politician as well as his having proved a Messiah with feet of clay has divided American society more deeply than ever. We have challenged Obama's policy and American hegemony before, here Ian Thorpe challenges Evangelical Christians...

Beware Of Bonds
by John De Roe
Remember the heady days of Maggie Thatcher's great deregulation and denationalisation when she was destroying indistries right left and centre and her government and friends in industry and The City were telling us all we could make a good living by speculating in the shares of newly privatized national assets? Most people who were taken in lost a packet, my own losses were modest but painful enough.
Well Labour, the most capitalist - friendly government we have ever hasd is getting in non the act. Being a bigger bunch of crooks and liars than even Thatcher's Tories Labour is offering us a worse deal. They want us all to invest our savings in bonds, in otherwords to invest in government debt.
There is more to dealing in stocks and shares than meets they eye which is why the novices lost and the money all went to the bankers and brokers in the 1970s. But shares are simple compared to the complexity of bonds. Learn more of the pitfalls and the devil in the detail here

Change You Can't Believe In
by James Dahlberg
Guest blogger James does not have his own blog but like Ian T. was recently thrown off a big, pretentious U.S. newsblog after posting a long comment challenging claims made for a dodgy health product. It seems the blog owners do not agree with James and Ian that product placement has no place in what is presented as factual reporting James is on another topic here however. For his first contribution to The Daily Stirrer he looks at how the popularity of Barack Obama, the Yes We Can" man has collapsed from the record levels seen right after his inauguration as President to the latest polls that make him the most unpopular president ever after a year in office. The economy, unemployment, the disatrous health reform bill and weakness on foreign polcy have played a big part but how much is due to the failings of man himself... read all Change You Can't Believe In by James Dahlberg

Homeopathy: Massive Overdose Protest
by Ian R Thorpe
The Daily Stirrer team finds that mere mention of the word "homeopathy" will send the science-is-god fellowship into a spluttering, incoherent, apoplectic rage. At risk of bringing the wrath of the evangelical scientists upon us then:
HOMEOPATHY, HOMEOPATHY, HOMEOPATHY.
The reasons for that apparently redundant repetition will become apparent.
My own view is that I have never tried homeopathic remedies and do not intend to. What pisses me off about the homeophobics is that one cannot simply say "know bugger all about it, if people think it works for them well, it's their life." A homeophobic cannot leave it at that, they will not let you be neutrally uninterested, of no. They have to try to bully you into agreeing with them.
"But the stuff is diluted so much blah blah," they scream. Yeah, am I bovvered, I don't use it.
"But its unscientific." Yeah, so what. The flight of bees is unscientific but I'm not going to stop eating honey.
Many people believe homeopathic remedies have cured long standing complaints in the way I believe a couple of glasses of red wine protects me against swine flu, cancer, Alzheimer's disease and The Dreaded Lurgi in a way that no vaccine or drug ever could. The science-is-god faction cannot just accept these are opinions, they are determined to allow anybody to think anything that is not scientific. They have to start ranting about how there is no scientific evidence to support claims that homeopathy works (which apparently proves it does not work) and that an excess of alcohol can result in many serious health problems later in life.
Their favourite tactic when faced with demonstrations that somebody has suddenly showed a gobsmacking lack of symptoms shortly after taking a homeopathic remedy is pure coincidence.
Like all fringe religious cults the science is religion cult attracts a lot of nutters who would probably make great homeopaths if they could overcome their prejudices.
There are probably many such nutters in the Merseyside Sceptics Society (which should be named the Merseyside Selective Sceptics Society) who today will be indulging their OCD - like need to go on about how unscientific homeopathy is by getting together outside Boots Chemist in Liverpool and staging a mass overdose protest against the chain store selling homeopathic remedies. Protesters claim they will eat who bottles of homeopathic pills to show the medications are not effective. Similar protests are taking place around the world.
Do you spot the failure of logic here. There are many conventional treatments a small does of which will cure but which can be eaten in larger quantities without harm resulting. So isn't the protest as unscientific as the protesters say homeopathy is? Oh well religious cults, even the science-is-god cult have never been big on that common sense kind of logic.
What would really be a wonderful coincidence is if one or two of the protesters dies of strokes or heart attacks after eating their massive protest overdose of pills.

Unemployment Fraud
by John De Roe
Apologies to any regular readers, if we have any that is, for our continued erratic performance. Ian Thorpe is the only one of us old geezers who write the stirrer who really knows how to use the internet. As he has needed to spend a lot of time on family matters there has been nobody to post. Today Ian left me logged in to the Stirrer's source file (he's a very brave man) so I can get some posts online.
Our first returns to a theme we reported on a few days ago, the prospect of a jobless economy. We noted how government claims to have defated rising unemplyment are based not on less people actually being unemployed but on fewer new claimants being added to the register than in the previous period. There are no signs of recovery in the economy, just statistical jiggery pokery. Do not be tricked into believing the government have succeeded in anything, they have merely changed the way they present failure.
There used to be a sayng; The devil is in the detail. Perhaps in view of the government's love of quoting skewed figures we should say Satan is in the statistics.

Protest Photography
by Ian R. Thorpe
Bit late with this I know, but it is worth a mention. Photographers were planning to gather in Trafalgar Squsare today to take pictures of public buildings, coppers, traffic wardens, buses and all the other stupid stuff the anti terror laws now forbid us to take pictures of.
I could not make it to Trafalgar Square but I staged my own protest. I stood on the local railway station and took photis of passing trains which is illegal, took more photos of the bus station (also illegal), a photo of coppers haging around looking bored near the football ground (very very illegal, a photo of the tax office (quite illegal) and the local magistraes court (more than illegal - a blatant act of terror).
We know the Labour government is totally paranoid but is there not something more sinister going on here? While they are forbidding us to take photos of everything they have covered the nation in CCTV cameras to take photographs and video us us and are now talking of using military drones of the type used in Afghanistan and Pakistan to motinor towns and countryside.
"It is to help security foorces protect the public," those responsible for the idea say. We say it sounds like another step on the road to authoritarianism. If they are worried we might be attacked why not just let us buy and keep guns. When it comes to shooting the evil bastard and protecting my family rather than vice versa, I'd back my judgement over that of some panic stricken, paranoid - schizoid copper any day.

Jobless Total Falls By 7000, Government Hails Recovery? They're Having A Laugh
by Ed Butt
Don't you think these New Labour apparachiks who write for the Guardian should be shipped off to a special rehab centre for people who have totally lost touch with reality? Yesterday we had an article claiming the 7000 fall in the unemployed (out of 2.5 million claimants) is not being recognised as a success for the government in their fight to turn the economy round and lead us out of recession. Of course it isn't, apart from the fact 7000 out of 2.5million (0.35%) is trvial we all know it was achieved by statistical jiggery pokery rather that growth in real jobs.Jobless Fall Does Not Benefit Labour.
No wonder The Guardian, now the house magazine of the Politically Correct Thought Police is going down the pan faster than a dollop of Domestos. Do these pretentious fuckers really delude themselves into believing we are all so stupid we can be taken in by this government of crooks and liars? One of the reasons people give for buying The Guardian was always its unbiased reporting and the seperation of reportage and opinion / comment. Now all you get is a long line of patronising, rich, guilt tripped middle class bastards telling you how great Labour are and what a great job they have done on the economy, education, health and public services. All of which Labour have failed so comprehensively on the nation is now teetering on the edge of the abyss.
The one area where Labour have succeeded beyond anyone's wildest dreams, the one area they have outdone all other modern governments at is war. Not only have Labour got us into more wars than any other modern administration, they have managed to keep two of those wars going, thus feeding bi££ions of punds to greedy American armaments manufacturers and creating a few job vacancies by getting young able bodied men and women killed or mained.
The Guardian is not only losing money, its charge to the left has made it a laughing stock among its target audience. The editors may think making people laugh is a way to recover lost sales. We think if people want to pay good money for a laugh they will buy Viz.

The Obama Agenda After Massachusetts
by Ian R. Thorpe
Shockwaves are still reverbrating through the American political system after the shock defeat of Democratic Candidate Martha Croakley by unknown Republican Scott Brown, a former Cosmopolitan centreold. The Democrats expected to coast home in the most strongly Democratic state of the USA. Now political pundits are suggesting voters are turning their backs on Obama as, after all the grandiose rhetoric he has failed to get to grips with domestic problems, embarrassed his country abroad and showed a total lack of leadership on all issues.
To the sceptical the Obama Agenda always semed to be based on nothing more substantual than a belief that if everybody would join hands and sing Kumbaya the world would be perfect for evermore.
The Obama Agenda? From my side of the Atlantic, which is a long way off the action I know, it always looked as if the only agenda was to promote the Obama celebrity brand. This has never been more apparent than in the healthcare debate where the important thing was not to benefit Americans, not even those Americans who put Obama in The White House, but to get a bill, any bill, passed in order to be the President who reformed the health system.
Really Barry and Michelle are little different to David and Victoria Beckham ... except Dave's six pack and Victoria's snake hips are no the result of airbrushing.

Fruit And Nut Dairylea?
by Ian R Thorpe
Tory Radio, commenting on the objections to the takeover of chocolate company Cadbury by American cheese into plastic food processor Kraft complained at the nationalistic nature of the criticism. The Daily Stirrer begs to differ.
Objections are not nationalistic but business based. If Cadbury had been trying to take over hershey or Kraft they would have faced all sorts of legal and protectionist obstacles.
Whatever President, be it Obama, Bush, Clinton or Reagan, has spoken of globalisation they do not include America in the "opening of domestic markets to foreign competition" bit.
So why should we always be willing to wave goodby to British jobs and see British profits expatriated. I though this was Tory radio, your comments sound like socialist internationalism.
On a less serious note, we at Boggart Blog are not looking forward to Willie Wonka - Kraft treating us to Fruit and Nut Dairylea.

Americans Give Up Looking For Jobs
Xavier Connolly
New figures out today underline what the Daily Stirrer has been saying since we came online almost a year ago about the true and truly dire state of the American economy. The report shows that millions of well educated, well qualified people with good experience and a solid career record are simply giving up looking for jobs.
America's economic downturn, like that of Britain started a long time ago. In the 1980s there was an abandonment of industry and agriculture in favour of candy floss industries like financial services, people becoming self employed by setting up service businesses specialising in ironing shirts, the digital economy in which candy floss businesses traded with candy floss money and a host of other ventures that had little or no substance.
In the 1980s real unemployment went off the scale of course. Older workers who would have expected to work to age 65 were effectively put out to grass at 55 as the Thatcher government, mistakenly believed by many still to have changed Britain for the better but in reality the most centralising and financially profligate government ever, encouraged doctors to diagnose perfectly able people are long term incapacitated by minor illness and put them on disability benefits.
It was a stupendously expensive way to massage the unemployment figures and also took a vast pool of skills backed by experience out of the labour market. Thatcher's insane obsession with destroying the working class not only dismantled the industrial base but the skills pool too. Now we have to import skilled workers from Eastern Europe and the east while British workers man banks of phones, cold calling unreceptive members of the public and trying to sell them insurance or double glazing.
And even the non - jobs in call centers are being exported buy a Labour government that is more Thatcherite than Thatcher.
At the same time unemployment statistics are being massaged at the other end by driving more and more school leavers into higher education with the promise that a University Degree will lead to a better job. Young people have no option but to believe this because there are so few openings for them. How many degree holders does a society need though. Ten per cent? Fifteen percent? We do not need fifty percent of people entering the job market to hold degrees, there is simply not enough work available at that level.
Dishonest politicians like Blair and Brown can talk of "the knowledge economy" but in reality when knowledge is so easily available as it has become it has little commercial value. One does not need a University degree to work as a mechanic, cook, building tradesman or a nurse. These are hands on jobs where experience and practical training are more important than academic learning. The only point of pushing school leavers through higher and further education is to keep them off the employment statistics for up to five years.
In the end of course throughout the English speaking world, because this problem does seem to be concentrated in nations with a predominantly Anglo - Saxon culture all our leaders are doing is putting off the problems for another day and another government. They are financing this procrastination with borrowed money however. That is another problem being stored up for the future that we have warned of time and again in the pages of The Daily Stirrer.

Change: When Will Politicians Get It?
In R. Thorpe
As the Labour party tries to get itsef back together after the putative coup organised by Geoff Hoon and Jaqui Smith with the aim of replacing Gordon Brown as leader before the Generl Election which is only weeks away, many people from all wings of the party are stepping forward to offer the Prime Minister advice on how he may rise above the expenses debacle, the financial crisis and the failing Afghan operation to turn aroud Labour's seemingly dire prospects.
One theme is common to all this advice. Labour must offer the voters "Change". The Conservatives are talking about change too in spite of their organisation having a name that suggests change is low on their agenda. So when will politicians get it? People are sick of change, they want stability and a..... Read artlce Change: Why Don't Politicians Get It.

The War On Entertainment
by Ed Butt
Liberal Democrate Culture, Media and Sport spokesman Tim Clement Jones says Live Music Must Not Be Silenced Mr. Clement Jones is introducing a bill into Parliament that, in the unlikely event of its succeeding in becoming law would reverse some of the draconian measures in previous government licencing law reform that places prohibitive restrictions on small venues whihing to offer live entertainment. These laws, he claims, are preventing new performers and musicians from gaining the experience on which they can build a career.
For all Labour's hypocritical posturing on the binge drinking culture we should remember it was they who changed licensing laws in favour of 24 hour drinking which only made the lives of pub landlords harder but did a big favour for the profits of the Coporate Interests that owned pub chgains and drinks manufacturers.
At the same time the Labour regime tightened up regulations on live music and entertainment venues. Well their corporate paymasters did not want anything to distract the binge drinkers from spending money on booze did they?

This Is Getting Silly
Once again we are too busy to bring you a Daily Stirrer report today. All of us are old gits but able in different ways to offer help to those less fortunate. After another heavy snowfall overnight Xav has been buzzing aroud in his Suzuki Jeep helping social services, John has been on foot delivering essential supplies to old and diabled people who can't get out in the snow and Ian has been at the CAB advising people on how to get help with the enormous heating bills that are landing behind their front doors.
Weather forecasers predict more snow and freezing temperatures are on the way in the next two weeks. Given the recent track record of weather forecasting though, this means we will probably get sub tropical temperatues and blazing sunshine. Remember last year's BBQ summer or the "warmest winter ever" that was promised us back in the autumn.

Economic Rebound
John De Roe
As the nation waits for the next blast of arctic weather and the next bombshell of economic bad news (likely to be about unemployments rising again or inflation starting to set in as it must now the government can no longer afford to buy in its own bonds in order to maintain the value of the pound) we find that not only do we have a gang of loony scientists bending our ear about how this will end up being the warmest winter on record, but the other profession for which being completely and utterly stark raving bonkers in the head, the Economists, are starting to work themselves about the rebound of the economy.
What has kicked off this line of academic fantasising is that the figures for the final quarter of 2009 will probably show a very marginal increase over the third quarter. Don't you just love their arrogant assumption that we are all stupid and these self styled experts can pull the wool over our eyes whenever they please? After falling for nine consecutive quarters the economy will show a slight rise above its low point thanks to the £billions the government has created and pumped into the economy. A rational person might be forgiven for thinking that we do not resume economic growth until things have returned to where we were before everything started to fall apart.
The economy is not rebounding. It cannot rebound because we have so little industry left to lead us back into growth. Printing money and creating jobs in public services then encouraging people to take on bigger mortgages and run up more debt in an attempt to kickstart the housing market and reinflate the consumer spending bubble is economic suicide. What will happen to those people now being tempted back into the housing market because with mortgage rates so low they are fooled into thinking they can afford to buy properties that will ruin them once mortgage interest returns to a more normal rate.
What will happen to those people already hamstrung by debt once a rise in mortgage repayments ends the brief respite they have had from the soul destroying cycle of long working hours (often in more than one job) and budgeting worries?
Not so, according to a member of the Monetary Policy Committee we are so well placed to bounce back that soon The Bank of England will have to think about raising interest rates from the current near zero to something more sensible to check runaway growth. This is the loonytoons economics version of telling us the policy of printing money has failed and the government can no longer afford to hand out interest free loans and then borrow back the money at commercial interest rates to fund its monthly public spending deficit.
Gordon Brown's hapless government claimed to have put an end to boom and bust economics. In a way they did, replacing it with roller coaster economics in which the economy soared, crashed, soared and crashed again within a decade. The normal boom and bust cycle had been fifteen years. Now, alas, the roller coaster has run out of track and you see the truth of our lonytoons economics analogy. Like Wile E. Coyote when he runs over a cliff, Gordon Brown, Alistair Darling and the rest of the Labour gang have not realised there is no longer anything solid beneath them and are still running furiously. At any moment they will begin to plunge into a deep, deep hole.
Unfortunately they will be taking all of us with them.

That is the sorry state Britain is in, and though it should not be a comfort to anybody America is not much better placed to cope as recession turns into slump. Where Margaret Thatcher who contrary to legend was the most centralising, most financially profligate Prime Minister we have ever had in Britain declared war on the working class by declaring war on the working class by deliberately destroying the industries of our economic base that provided the well paid, skilled and semi skilled work that sustained communities and ... read all A Jobless Economy

The Great Vitamin D Deficiency Scandal
As the case that climate change science was settled lies in ruins with several senior scientists facing criminal charges for lying and doctoring data another "science is settled" scam has been exposed and the fraudulent industry that grew around it is about to fall apart.
The Daily Stirrer and before The Stirrer, Little Nicky Machiavelli have alwats said to get to the truth all anyone needs to do is follow the money. Well we followed the money on climate change and were among the first to expose the links between the senior climate scientists pushing for carbon trading policies and carbon capture technologies and the corporations that stood to make the greatest profits were such things to become reality.
So what about Vitamin D deficiency? Vitamin D is essential for health and wellbeing but is produced naturally in the body when skin is exposed to sunlight. In recent years the healthcare branch of the fear and panic industry had hyped the link between sunlight and skin cancer so much people are afraid to go out without slathering themselves in Factor five million sunscreen even on cloudy days.
Now as the "scientific" case that exposure to relatively low levels of sunlght causes skin cancer starts to unravel with new independent surveys showing dangerous Vitamin D deficiencies in a majority of Americans and many Europeans once again we we quote Cicero and say "Cui Bono?"
Who stood to benefit. Who stood to gain so much from sales of sun protection products they were prepared to pump lavish funding into research projects that unanimously proved very little sun on a person's skin would turn that unfortunate person into a walking tumor. Follow the money all the way home and odds on you will land at the doors of corporations that manufactoure vaccines or create GM seedcrops or sell overpriced drugs that have monstrous side effects.

Climate Change Fear And Panic.
by Ed Butt
In the wake of three reports that state the "scientific" evidence for climate change has been overstated (as against one that says the scientists have been too cautious in making up the numbers they fed into their mathematical models) the government has gone into fear and panic hyperdrive to try to save what is left of its reputation and any chance of the Copenhagen summit not being dismissed by ordinary punters as another excuse for the flying pigs of global politics to get their snouts in another trough (these pigs only fly on account of their having a 747 each to haul their bloated bodies into the sky you undertand) one of the UK's "leading climate change science experts" LOL has announced that if the Copenhagen summit fails to produce a deal to impose a global governance system produce a deal to control carbon emissions by taxing the arses of us ordinary punters agreeing a binding treaty to commit nations to their pledges to cut emissions, 95% of the world's population may die.
How big a "may" is that? Let's put it this way, I'd rather bet my life on Portsmouth winning the Premier League this season.
But as the "climate change science" (the bit they don't like to talk about) shows the arctic permafrost is melting which means the millenia old warming cycle is irreversible who is this clever scientists going to do? Spread factor 50 over the earth's surface so it cannot absorb any sunlght?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1231673/Global-warming-Dont-wait-The-Earth-tricks-carbon-count-control.html#ixzz0YCHzEDHb
And finally Lord Monckton, a climate change scientist who has always questioned the mainstream view and who revealed that a proposal to impose global governance was on the agenda at Copenhagen here defends himself against accusations that he is a right wing conspiracy theorist. He demonstrates that the words global governance appear several times in the agenda for the climate summit by reproducing the relevant paragraphs.

Copenhangover: How Much Aid Does Africa Want?
Ed Butt
In the build up to the Copenhagen Climate Summit we heard a lot of political huffandpuffery about how nations were coming together to save the planet. The various groups of nations had their own agendas of course, the west planned to ensure nothing was a greed that would impact on western lifestyles, the rising powers of Asia and the Indian sub-continent wanted to ensure no binding agreements would curtail their economic developments and the Association of African Tyrants were only interested in how much they could get in aid from the west, none of which would be spent on fighting the consequences of climate change unless stuffing the Swiss bank accounts of dictators.
Should we let our tax and spend governments guilt trip us into committing vast sums in foreign aid to the dysfunctional continent just so President's and Prime Ministers can suck up to Barack Obama? The era of American dominance is over and Obama is not going to be President very long. So what difference has all the aid monry pumped into africa in the past 50 years made and why do we think things will change in the future. As an aryticle at Pajamas Media points out the average income per capita in Kenya was in real terms higher and the standard of living better in 1960, before the British handed over power than it is now.
40 years of miguided aid to Africa
Wherever you go in Africa plenty of older people will say that for ordinary people life was better under the colonial powers.
That does not make colonialism right but it does put a different perspective on the sentimentalised fairy tales of Black American preacher - politicians. The notion that Africa was some kind of utopia until the slave traders arrived is ludicrous. Long before the trans Atlantic slave trade began Africans were involved in slave trading and two hundred years after the trade was abolished, a hundred and fifty after slavery was ended in the USA, there is still a slave trade in Africa. Last year a case came before the international courts concerning children from rural areas of West Africa being sold into slavery by their own families Landmark ruling - hope for thousands
The answer here is simple. SAME RULES APPLY! If nations seeking aid do not meet certain standards in protecting the liberties of their citizens they do not qualify for the handout.

Climate Change:How Much Blame Must Science Take?
by Ian R Thorpe
I have often said that as a campaigner on climate change for thirty years I began to doubt the current generation of climate scientists when they invented the word "anthropogenic" in an attempt to pin all the blame for climate change on human economic progress and particularly carbon emissions from industrial activity. Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW), although we should not use the misleading term global warming and nobody should be in any doubt as to why after the weather systems that have brought much of Europe and the North East USA to a near standstill since the Copenhagen Summit on Global Warming ended and the delegates went home, is a convenient term to divert attention from the many interwoven aspects of the horribly complex processes that are driving climate change.
When scientists start to ...

Copenhagen Round Up: Much Ado About Nothing
It's all over in Copenhagen at last and we all know, except for those "Science Is God" fundamentalists who insist their science is infallible, omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient, that "our last chance to save the planet" was a damp squib, a diversion to distract us from two even bigger problems, the debt crisis and the ageing time bomb.
Copenhagen was never going to produce a binding deal on carbon emissions. The global warming lobby were deluded by their own hype, there was little consensus among nations. Nations pursue their own interests as they always have. Those of us who know climate change is happeing despaired as we watched the idiot scientists lose an argument that was virtually won. To the scientists of course the Copenhagen Climate Summit was never about saving the planet, it was about showing off how clever they are. Unfortunately they came unstuck when numerous cases of rigging data to produce the answers their paymasters required were exposed.
In one way that is good. If future anyone who tries to close down an argument by saying "I'm a scientist" will be ridiculed. In another way it is bad. While the scientisyts have ben lying and concocting fake data time has been wasting and the problems we have to deal with have been getting bigger.
Here are a few posts from around the web that summarise where we are:
Blame The Smug Climate Scientists from The Daily Beast. The writer is not a climate change denier but deplores the self righteousness of the climate science lobby.
The Science Is Settled : Copenhagen was a circus. Leaked e-mails, links between climate change scientists and carbon trading profiteers, on Islander weeping because he home was about to be submerged when it is a mountainous island with peaks up to 100 metres high, another bemoaning the imminent loss to the ocean of his island home when he lives in Australia - 100 miles inland. And they have the cheeks to dimiss genuine scepticism as right wing misanthropy/ Yeah right.
The Non Specific, Non Binding climate Deal Obama's much heralded deal with China and India on climate change does not commit anyboody to doing anything.
Stifling Dissent at a conference that was always about stifling dissent. America's Right on Copenhagen.
AP wins World Brown Nosing Championship The mainstream media in America and Britain is still in full on Obamessiah worshipping mode even though Obama's aura of divinity is in shreds. The difference between the sycophancy and the reality is unbridgeable however.

Victims Of Hype
by Xavier Connolly
"Tiger Woods Is So So Much Bigger Than Golf," says a sycophantic article at Huffington Post, whiningly demanding that we "Leave Him Alone" as fans of King Of Child Molesters" Michael Jackson did whenever their hero was in trouble over his bizarre sexual needs.
Well we have heard from those who have intimate knowledge of his anatomy that he is a very big boy but to claim anybody is bigger than the business that made them is ridiculous.
Tiger Woods has been a beneficiary of the kind of hyperbole that made Michael Jackson, a very ordinary singer and a dancer who claimed to have invented moves mime acts had been doing for centuries, into "The King Of Pop." Hype also made and broke many others in film and TV, sport, music. Britney Spears, Robert Downey Jnr., the jew hating alcoholic dwarf Mel Gibson (5' 3") Robbie Williams, Whitney Houstan, Bobby Brown, Amy Winehouse and many, Dare we say as the reality of Obama's performance looks increasingly lacklustre against the sparkling expectations, the would of politics will soon lose its immunity to hype hazard.. Those who benefit from hype are inevitably destroyed by it.
Golf will survive, there are many other talented golfers who are simply more in touch with reality and not quite so addicted to fame, success and the idea that the rules do not apply to them.
Golf will survive. Fans of Tiger Woods will have to hope his career does. As firms that sponsor Tiger desert in droves (Nike Stands By Its Tiger) that is looking an increasingly forlorn hope

American Fantasy Is Obama's Reality
11 December 2009
The road to middle east stability runs through Kashmir says Pakistani writer Panjak Mishra. With its latest surge and escalation of the war against the Taliban in Afghanistan and the triballands of North West Pakistan, America has taken a terrible decision to escalate a war against an unopposable enemy. Obama may be arrogant enough to think he, the rookie politician with no military or governmental experience can succeed where Alexander, The Roman Empire, Genghis Kahn, Sultan Suleimun, The British Empire and The Soviet Union all failed but is Obama who so deluded he sees himself as President of The World really so much out of control he is immune to the advice of his own military leaders and State Department diplomats.

Darling PBR Makes Taxpayers Bail Out Labour
by Ed Butt.
KEYWORDS: economy, PBR, budget, darling, labour, debt, economy, finance, government
The pre budget report (PBR) delivered by Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistar Darling yesterday was the nearest any Labour politician has yet come or is likely to come to admitting how comprehensively the party has screwed the economy during their twelve years in power. Even so, Darling could not break with the kind of deluional thinking on the economy that typifies Labour in power.
As he announced swingeing tax increases, cuts to public services and caps on public sector salaries, all of which will raise just a few billion pounds to set against the £178 billion (and rising) deficit and a Public Sector Borrowing Requirement that rises month on month Darling spoke of the shortfall being made up by a surge in growth. It is hard to see where this growth will come from. With tax revenues in freefall, unemployment rising and manufacturing in the doldrums, taking on more debt is the only way the government can service its existing debts.For almost a year they have been printing money, lending it to banks at 0.5% interest and borrowing it back at 2 - 2.5% interest. Such economics are lunacy.
Darling hopes the "surge in growth" will come from consumers suddenly taking leave of their senses and starting to max out their credit cards, run up overdrafts and loan debts and remortgage their houses in order to finance the spending needed for a "consumer led recovery."
As Vince Cable said, "The Labour economic boom was buit on sand, now they are trying to rebuild it on sand. As an example of people who do not learn from the past repeating its mistakes, Darling's Pre Budget Report takes some beating.

Copenhagen Climate Summit Chaos.
hate to say we told you so folks (no we don't, we love it) but it looks as if the Copenhagen Climate Summit, "our last chance to save the planet" according to politicians and their lap dog scientists, is in disarray and on the verge of collapse after a confidential document detaing a power grab by certain rich nations that seems mainly to hve been cooked up by the authoritarian Obama administration for American and the equally authoritarian Labour government in the UK.

The Man We Would Like To be God Speak Out On Climate
TF for David Attenborough, the man British people would overwhelmingly support if there was a vote to elect somebody as God. Vteran naturalist Sir David will tomorrow present a TV programme in which he will dare to name the real cause of climate change, the factor the Politically Correct Thought Police have prevented us discussing and the lying cheating, backstabbing scientists, eager to serve the interests of their corporate and political paymasters and further their own greedy sleazy interests, have refused to address.
THERE ARE JUST TOO FUCKING MANY PEOPLE.
Each person on the planet consumes resources and there just are not enough resources to go round. The problem mainly affects the developing world. This is blamed by the Politically Correct Thought Police on the west's exploitation. The science lobby stay schtumm because they know the real cause is science. Medical science can create drugs to eradicate disease and prolong life but scientists never think of the consequences of preserving and prologing life in nations where there are scant resources and science can change people's phyisical health but cannot affect attitudes.
Bangla Desh is a good example. The population of this country whose area is smaller than England has incresed by 50% since 1997 to a current 165 million. How can they survive, how can that nation with little industry, a shortage of good quyality land much of it under threat from rising seas levels.
And yet obvious though this is it takes an octogenarian naturalist to say out loud what has been Staring. Us. In. The. Fucking.Face.

Canadians Who Cared Saved Us From Climate Change Nazi's.
Article in the Ottowa Citizen commented on by John De Roe.
Get to know the Climate Change Science lobby, the scientists who tried to scam the world into spending tillions on useless scientific problems that would probable make the effects of climate change worse and certainly not mitigate them. By "get to know" I do not mean study their CVs, their family photo albums or their Amazon wish list, what you need to understand is the mindset what makes them tick. Examine what these people do and how they behave, not what they tell us about themselves.
What will strike you is the tribalism, cliquishness and determination to suppress any point of view that strays from the mainstream. Scientists, not just in this field but in medicine, food production, chemistry, electronics and fuel/power would have is believe they are intellectuals, possessed of academic detachment that insulates them from the secular concerns that drive mere mortals. They are lying of course. What you are about to read if you follow the link will reveal a group of small mined, self interested bigots whose work is driven by greed, desire for fame, status and power. Far from the curiosity and desire to extend the frontiers of human knowledge these scientists claim as their motivation we are shown people who will go to almost any lengths to cover up their errors, incompetence and deliberate deceptions and to shout down dissent.
These however are the people who have the ear of the Copenhagen Summit on Climate Change, who will influence the world's political leaders and whose advice, if acted on, will enrigh their corporate paymasters and impoverish the rest of us.

An Inconvenient Truth About Climate Change Science.
by Ian R Thorpe
2009-12-06
I've said many times I became suspicious of "climate change science" when the climate change scientists started attaching the word "anthropogenic to it. I mean, anthropogenic, WTF is that all about? Anthropologists study hominids; primitive man, chimps and those dwarf chimps that are always wanking, baboons, gibbons, gorillas and monkeys. Anthropology is the study of human development right? The study of humankind according to the OED if we are being picky (there is bound to be some boy-scientists along who wants to brandish the Wikipedia definition and I can't be arsed slapping them down.

Creepy Child Safety Czar
Anyobody who reads this page regularly will know we are not fans of Barack Obama. It is amusing that the Obots who mail us with "rapid rebuttals" of our attacks (pointless, we do not publish comments) assume we are supporters of the so called political right.
WRONG! Daily Stirrer editor Ian Thorpe is socially liberal, economically Keynsean, John De Roe is a a progressive conservative, Ed Butt is contrarian and Xavier Connolly is Old Labour. What they have in common is a lifelong mistrust and suspicion of authority and a belief that all politicians are wankers. Obama is no exception to that and comes in for particularly virulent criticism because of the way he encouraged America'd desperate democrats to treat him as a messianic figure. The world should always fear self proclaimed messiahs and Obama's similarity to Roman Emperor Caligula is more than casual.
OK, now you know where we stand. The colour of Obambi's skin is not going to get him any sympathy here.
What we would like to know today is what kind of a man, if man is the right word, who is the father of young girls, can appoint to a position of responsibility in the schools system the perverted little creep behind this report?
Obama's Safe Schools Czar Promoting Child Porn In The Classroom
Paedos may not raise many eyebrows in Obama's weird world of terrorists, agitators, pimps, pushers, crooks, rent boys and scammers but we get the feeling if America's mainstream media was not doing its usual head in the sand act but was reporting this story as it ought to be reported the U.S. public would be up in arms about it.
Some might say this is nothing to do with The Daily Stirrer because we are an Anglo Irish blog. We are in fact a world blog and we are commenting on the most powerful leaders in the free world (for the moment at least) and a man who seems to have no problem in deluding himself he was elected President Of The World.

Copenhagen, The Real Agenda.
by Ed Butt
The Copenhagen climate summit organised by the United Nation, it's about saving the planet, right?
WRONG.
We all know now the scientific data used as "evidence of anthropogenic climate change" was faked, made up, manipulated to provide the answers the political establishment wanted. The language of climate change was a givaway as was the self righteousness and assumption of moral sueriority among the climate change believers. Anthropogenic climate change was one of the gospels of the new religion of Science.
It was easy to persuade most people to go along with it, this stuff had been worked out by scientists and scientists are very clever people if a bit nerdy and not great drinking companions unless you like to talk in equations and numbers. Everyone knows scientists are clever, they told us so themselves. Few people questioned their cleverness because scientists are always right aren't they? They're scientists.
To the sceptic and contributors to this web page have to be fully paid up, card carrying members of the sceptical bastards club, it was clear at an early stage that the science involved in predicting climate change was the science of guesswork. The premise that weather patterns can be changed by ...TO READ ALL CLICK THE LINK

The Price Of Understanding The Universe
Ian R. Thorpe
It is always a pleasure to be able to take the piss out of a boy scientists and as I got a bollocking today from our new contributor for spelling his name incorrectly (bit much, it's only a pen name) I feel like winding someone up. Not much point on the web you may think, it is very hit and miss whether the right person will find it. Well this person, like most of those I refer to as boy scientists, is a science writer for The Guardian and their whole science and technology team is made up of the kind of sad acts who Google their own name incessantly to see who is talking about them.
Today's boy scientists of the day is Adam Rutherford and he is burbling on ecstatically about the Large Hardon Collider, the machines that when it is switched on gets scientists very excited before it breaks down.
This ludicrous piece of kit cost an absolute fortune, in the region of £6 billion we are told, and though it is a tremendous undertaking nobody quite knows what it will achieve. This means it will be hard for anyone to know if it has actually ever worked properly. Now Adam gives us the usual guff about scientific methodology and the wonderful curiosity of the human race, the urge to explore and discover, to cross lines and take leaps into the unknown. All that is good stuff right enough but our evolution to the highest life form on earth and as far as we know the only intelligent life form in The Universe is not because of our curiosity, desire to pull things apart to find out how they work ., leap into the dark, cross lines and boldly go where no man has gone before. Oh no, it is much more to do with our ability to think things through, minimise risk, work out the approach least likely to get us killed, and weigh the benefit against the cost.
Those who place curiosity ahead of intelligence are more likely to be candidates for the Darwin Awards than the Nobel Prizes. Look at this statement...
The LHC is the biggest and most expensive experiment in history, as befits asking the most fundamental questions in the universe: why does stuff have mass? It's a hard question, and thrilling in its pure curiosity.
Pure curiosity. So these brainless bastards think that pure curiosity is justification to getting the taxpayers to stump up for what amounts to the biggest toy in the world. Elsewhere Adam talks of the secrets of the Universe which the boy scientists with the Large Hardon hope their toy will help them discover when it smashes sub atomic particles to bits by firing them into each other. The idea the Collider might do this is based on a theory, a good theory as it happens but a theory that is really untestable, that a sub atomic particle named the Higgs Boson, a thing so tiny and slight it has almost no mass but according to the theory is responsible for holding the fabric of the universe together. Trouble is nobody knows if the Higgs Boson exists so if the experiment finds one will anybody be able to recognise it?
That is what I mean by thinking things through. One would suggest that discovering the secrets of The Universe is not exactly top of humankind's list of priorities now, not that anybody would understand the secrets of the Universe if the written text dropped out of the sky carved on a tablet of stone. There is no more hard evidence to support big bang theory than there is for the book of Genesis. For big bang all we have is a scientists attempt to make some sense of the origins of life conundrum by doing some highly speculative equations using the same technique of making up the data in order to provide the required answer. For Genesis we have a Bronze Age fairy story. And yet we are told the former is "science" and therefore we must accept that as proof it is right.
At least the Bronze Age people knew their creation myth was just that, a myth. They left us precious little information on what they really though but among those fragments we learn that they understood life had begun "long, long ago, before men had understanding." When you think about that it is a lot more intelligent than: "All the matter and all the time and space in the Universe was compressed into a pellet the size of a rat turd and then suddenly there was an explosion and the Universe popped into existence and it has been growing ever since."
The trouble with scientific curiosity you see is it afflicts people who just aren't intelligent or perceptive enough to say, "We just don't know," which is actually the answer to most of the great questions.
If people don't know what they are looking for how are they going to know they have found it. And is if that were not complicated enough, the fact of their not knowing if it exists or not makes the problem a trillion times more complex.
An earlier particle collider, the not-quite-as-large-as-the-large-but-larger-than-the middle-sized-hadron collider fooled the science heads into thinking they had discovered the Higgs Boson. What their sensors had picked up was in fact the moons magnetic field. And the sensor was located three hundred feet deep under the earths surface. See what I mean? The project is seeking such slight traces of energy the scientists could be fooled into thinking they have discovered the meaning of life when in fact they have recorded the electron - magnetic interference generated by a cockroach fart.
Take a look at Adam's article (What Price The Secrets Of The Universe) and decide if you think he is one of a rare breed, a man whose life is dedicated to pushing at the boundaries of human knowledge in the hope of extending our mastery of all things in the physical universe until, like Gods, we are so smart we can grwate matter by will power alone or if his obsession with "science" (the boy scientists use it as a magic word, they don't even know what it means) has led to his having travelled so far up his own arse he can scratch his head from the inside?

Afghan War To Escalate With American Surge
by Xavier Connelly
There is no doubt the 30,000 extra American troops Barack Obama will in a few hours announce are heading for the killing fields of Afghanistan are going to make a big difference to the outcome of this insane war. The moment the imbecile Obama make the announcement the war will escalate. It will not be a noticeable increase in violence, not for a while at least. The fighting and the level of casualties may well decrease in the short term. The Taliban fighters migh just mely away into the hills and villages as they did after the initial assault by American and NATO troops in 2002. What will increase in the Islamic world is the simmering resentment of the west, resentment that the west cannot leave the Islamic world to manage (or not manage depending on your point of view) its own affairs.
The people of the east, the Arabs, Indians, Chinese and Japanese are masters at playing the long game. They do not mind waiting a generation or even several generations for eventual victory. Short termism is the creed in the west and western leaders like Obama and Gordon Brown are so arrogant they expect everybody to play by our rules. They expect the enemy to stop shooting and surrender their arms the moment victory is declared.
These fools, these poseurs who claim intellectual superiority but are as ignorant of history as they are of human nature do not appear to have ever in their worthless, freeloading lives picked up an objective book of history. Had they done so they would know that to the eastern mindset the war is not over until the last one of the enemy is dead.
Somehow I think neither the vacillating, emotionally needful Obama not the dithering Brown, as ever struggling with his inner demons, self doubt, inferiority complex, religious prejudices, has the stomach for genocide.
If the allies go ahead with this we may be in for the kind of perpetual, low level warfare waged by the Ministry Of Peace in George Orwell's increasingly prescient looking novel 1984.
In reality as in the novel it is the ordinary people who will suffer while the elite, the axis of incompetence, continue their undending self congratulatory jamboree. In nations already bankrupted by the economic illiteracy of their leaders the future looks to promise a rough ride.
