Stay away from Denmark

18-08-2008 10:05

This is to warn of any foreign person or persons who are planning to travel to Denmark.
Don’t come. Stay away. For your own, and your family’s sake.

The Danish society is in 2008 run by a right-wing extremist government, controlled by a right out fascist party called: The Danish Peoples Partry (Dansk Folkeparti). They hate foreigners.

The general atmosphere in Denmark is bad, very bad.

Especially if you are a possible refuge that is planning to seek asylum in Denmark,
help your self: don’t do it.

Tinkerbell, Peter Pan, Cinderella & Alladin arrested in Disney Worker action

17-08-2008 16:53

32 people including workers & some of the most notoriously sanitised & perfidiously evil warped stereotypes to have been implanted in the 20th century child's imagination were arrested in California on Friday "on a misdemeanor count of failure to obey a police officer and two traffic infractions." As we know Aladdin is a thief & it is no surprise LAPD finally cuffed him. But the others?

Ostensibly they had been taking part in continuing trade union action against Disneyland for contracted work, health benefits and so on - so forth.

The death of Solzhenitsyn & the passing of good prisoners.

04-08-2008 17:42

As we all know Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn has died. With his passing we all have opportunity to comment on Gulags and the mechanisms of state terror & control used to create and maintain the Soviet system & also a duty to apply such criticisms to the mechanisms of state terror & control used to create and maintain Western hegemonies.

The best way to do that in my opinion is not to wax overly lyrical in phrase or wade needlessly deep in intellectual erudition. All we need do is cast a quick eye over how today the West as Russia prepares to lay Solzhenitsyn to rest.
