As most of you will know, we have Brothers, who are in gaols all over the world, but one that I trust you will all know of is our Brother  Reverend Dr Esposito. He has been in jail for nearly 20 years, and is constantly fighting to stay true to our Religion of Creativity.
Even though it absolutely hammers any 'reward' chances he may have, often loosing privileges taken for granted by others.

As I said, I am sure many are aware of his circumstances, and have read his letters to us via the PM.

It has come to my attention that we, as fellow Creators, might be able to help make our Brother's life inside a bit more bearable. and for next to nothing. A connection to the outside, albeit biased, but still something. A TV.

Now, of course we always mention jewtube, and how bad it is for our people, and that is absolutely correct.. but in
Reverend Dr Esposito's case, it will give him a view of the world around him presently denied. He is a smart man, and has probably forgotten more that I will learn, so it isn't going to influence him in the way we see the majority of our racial kinsmen, all ZOGbotized.

So, this is the thinking... it costs about $250 for a wee TV, and the PM will pay for it immediately, as he is wont to do. Now, whilst this is great, I am thinking that there are enough of us to lessen the load.. even 10 of us would make it just $25 each, which is nothing these days.

I will be donating my $25, and I hope you guys are able to chip in as well. We are Brothers, Racial family, and together, even the big loads can be shared and carried.

Just listening to a Creator Brother on Renegade Radio, and was thinking.. perhaps we could put together our own?
First of all, I think it would be great to expound on issues of today, tying in our religion's position with modern issues (which in reality are not modern, but I digress). Also, and I know this might sound stupid.. but I reckon it would be good for listeners to hear (and realise) all the different accents, showing that we are worldwide. (Although I'm not sure anyone could understand Bro Greg's culche accent! )

We have our own CATV, so hosting is no problem (I think).. what do the rest of the Brothers and Sisters think?

Emma West was an unknown woman just a short while ago. She lived in a part of London that was over run by non British people, and indeed, had saw the devastation caused by them during the August Riots.
One day she snapped.. and whilst on a train, she let rip on the carriage..

Within a day of this video on Youtube, this lady was arrested, and hauled before the courts, and then remanded in custody. This video had over 12 million views before being removed 2 days ago.
I monitored this, and of course, at the start, all the usual DIEversity pro PC brigade were out wishing murder and rape upon here (and of course, with no sanction from their masters).. but a trend was starting to be set, with more and more commenting and agreeing with her pov, no matter how crassly put. Then the vid was removed.

Regardless of the content, it seems to have genuinely sparked a flicker of concern amongst the majority.. especially when other, far more serious crimes (such as one listed below, or the man and women, bailed, after a 4 week old baby is found with every rib broken and anally raped.. they got 24 hour protection at their house, and a safe house). It has made people realise how far the anti white pogroms have actually gone, and are going!

London police arrest 143 at DR Congo vote protest

(AFP) – 3 days ago

LONDON — Police in London said they arrested 143 people on Saturday during an angry demonstration by up to 500 people against the re-election of President Joseph Kabila in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Protesters broke away from a designated demonstration area to block a major road near Prime Minister David Cameron's Downing Street office before attacking cars and shops and threatening members of the public, police said.

"A total of 143 people have been arrested during a demonstration in central London today," Scotland Yard said in a statement, adding that 110 of these had been detained on suspicion of affray.

The demonstration had begun peacefully, with a crowd of between 400 and 500 people, by police estimates, holding up placards condemning the official result of the November 28 poll, which handed victory to Kabila.

Chanting and blowing whistles in the cold winter air, they declared veteran opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi the winner and angrily condemned the sitting president.

"He is a murderer. Nobody voted for him. We want him out now in Congo," 22-year-old student Edwige told AFP at the protest.

After several hours in one place, the demonstrators moved up Whitehall, the main street of government buildings in central London, towards Trafalgar Square, blocking the road.

"A group then moved away from the main protest and began to damage property including cars and shops as well as threatening members of the public," police said, adding: "110 people were then arrested on suspicion of affray."

The electoral stand-off in DR Congo intensified Saturday as the government threatened to prosecute Tshisekedi for claiming victory, and police said four people had died in post-poll violence.

But a statement late Saturday issued by observers from the Carter Center, a non-profit group founded by former US President Jimmy Carter, said the election had been so marred by irregularities that it was not credible.

I won't comment too much on this accept to say this - If they are so troubled by what happens in their Democratic Republic, then GO HOME!

Police are still hunting for more than 200 people in connection with the riots that blighted London in August.

Scotland Yard is putting 213 images taken from hours of CCTV footage online on the website Flickr in a bid to catch those who may have been involved.

The move is part of a campaign to catch offenders in the run-up to Christmas, and comes after officers combed through 200,000 hours of footage.

The Met said help from the public in finding those responsible has so far led to 3,269 arrests for a variety of offences and 2,046 people being charged or summonsed.

Across London, 22 boroughs experienced disorder and as of December 5, 3,877 crimes had been reported to the police, the force said.

Commander Steve Rodhouse said: "I would like to thank the public for continuing to assist us with this investigation. Without their help positive identifications on several images would not have been made.

"Four months on from the disorder my team of officers remain absolutely committed to identifying, arresting and charging those involved in the criminality that took place.

"The investigation is a huge challenge and one that will continue for some time to come, but I want to reassure London's communities that we are determined to bring those who committed these outrageous crimes to justice and more arrests will follow.

"I urge anyone with any information to come forward."

All 213 images can be found on the Metropolitan Police Service's Flickr page at www.flickr.com/photos/metropolitanpolice/sets/72157628402525369/ Anyone who recognises a picture or has any information can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, quoting the reference number alongside the image.

You never know.. you might know someone..

The Minister for Finance has said that any EU referendum would come down to whether Ireland wanted to continue in the euro or not.

Speaking at Bloomberg in London, Michael Noonan said he believed that, faced with that question, the Irish people would pass such a referendum.

Asked whether Ireland would have to hold a referendum on what emerges from Europe in March, the Minister said he did not know.

"On one interpretation of what's on the table this can be done without constitutional change, but there's debate about that. Our legal people won't be able to call it until they see the text," he told reporters after the speech.

But Mr Noonan said there was an urgency to draft the policy objective outlined in Brussels.

"People will not be able to judge whether a referendum is required in Ireland until they see the text."

The Minister also said the imposition of a transaction tax would be a matter of concern for Ireland if it were to be applied to the financial services sector in Dublin and not in London.

However, Mr Noonan said that he did not think the use of the British veto in Brussels last week would have any immediate impact on Ireland's financial services sector which employs over 30,000 people.

He added that the Government had a better idea of the UK's position now following last night's telephone conversation between the Taoiseach and David Cameron.

A spokesperson said their discussions were positive with both leaders reaffirming the importance of continued political and economic ties between the two countries.

In his speech, Mr Noonan said 2011 had been a relatively successful one in terms of political stability and economic recovery.

He also said that he is part of the strangest Government this country has ever had - as it is almost a national unity government.

"The Government has a plan that is designed to provide clarity, meet targets, return to growth and return to the markets."

The minister said it was a pity that what was agreed at last week's EU summit in Brussels was not endorsed by all EU member states.

"But we are not saying that in any critical way of the UK. They make their decisions in the interests of their country."

Could this be an escape clause for the Republic of Ireland? A referendum is the last thing bankers etc want, as the people are now aware of their loss of sovereignty to the jewish financial institutions.

Eight cancer operations were cancelled after copper cabling was stolen from a hospital in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Eighty one patients were affected on Wednesday by the theft from a back-up generator at Llandough hospital near Cardiff.

Hospital managers said Tuesday's theft of 100m of cabling was "dangerous and irresponsible".

A new back-up generator is being tested before routine surgery can resume.

It was too late for Wednesday's morning list of 36 operations, including two breast cancer operations, which was cancelled as a precaution.

Another 45 operations scheduled for the afternoon were also cancelled after a meeting.

The University Health Board chief executive Jan Williams called the theft "mindless".

She said: "NHS staff work tirelessly to care for some of the most vulnerable members of our communities and it is depressing to note that, for these thieves, the monetary value of copper is of more consequence."

Llandough deals with non-emergency operations, including orthopaedic and breast surgery.

Ms Williams said the cancellations were "traumatic" for the two breast cancer patients in particular but she said their operations would be rescheduled as quickly as possible.

Health managers are taking steps to provide secondary back-up facilities but these were not in place to allow afternoon operations to take place.

Replacing the cables could cost up to £20,000.

The theft was reported to South Wales Police just after 14.00 GMT on Tuesday.

I wonder have their been any 'Travellers' or other immigrants, famous for relieving properties of their metal goods, in the area?

This is great..

A complaint has been made to police against a passenger who threw a "fare-dodger" off a train after he refused the conductor's request to leave.

Alan Pollock's action against Sam Mains on the Edinburgh to Perth train on Friday was filmed by another passenger.

British Transport Police would not confirm who had made the complaint.

Mr Mains, a 19-year-old student from Falkirk, claimed he had mistakenly bought the wrong ticket and was hoping to explain it to the conductor.

He told BBC Radio Scotland's Call Kaye programme: "I was given no time to explain myself. It wasn't even an argument.

"There was a discussion with me trying to explain myself for about a minute and then the conductor started shouting at me," he said.

"I never seen his face, I never seen a man. He never approached me. He never said 'right son get off the train'.

"He grabbed me from behind, threw me to the ground on the train. Then picked me up off the ground on the train. Then threw me to the ground on the platform."

Mr Mains told BBC Scotland he had tried to get back on the train to get his bag - which contained his phone, exam notes and headphones - but was prevented from doing so by Mr Pollock.

He also said he was diabetic, had not eaten much all day and had not slept the night before because he had been studying.

"[This] had perhaps quite an adverse effect on my mood and my mannerisms at that time, but still I don't condone the way I spoke to the conductor," he said.
Applause

The student admitted he had been drinking before the incident, but said he was not drunk.

The footage, filmed by passenger Ian Hems and uploaded to YouTube, shows a youth refusing to pay for his ticket or get off the train.

A man then gets up, grabs the youth and appears to throw him onto the platform at Linlithgow, West Lothian.

The man then twice stops the teenager getting back on the train before returning to his seat to a round of applause from passengers.

But one woman is heard to say: "There's no need for that."

A spokesman for British Transport Police said: "A complaint has been received and inquiries are ongoing into the incident."

[Escort work]

Greater numbers of students in England are turning to prostitution to fund their education, the National Union of Students (NUS) claims.

The NUS also says students are turning to gambling and taking part in medical experiments to fund their studies.

It says increased living costs and fees, and cuts to the education maintenance allowance, play a part.

But the government says it offers students a "generous package" of financial support.

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live's Breakfast programme, Estelle Hart, the NUS's national women's officer, said government cuts had put more pressure on students.

"Students are taking more dangerous measures," said Ms Hart.

"In an economic climate where there are very few jobs, where student support has been massively cut, people are taking more work in the informal economy, such as sex work.

"It's all dangerous unregulated work, simply so people can stay in education."
Helpline calls

The English Collective of Prostitutes, which runs a helpline from its base in London, said the number of calls it receives from students had at least doubled in the past year.

Sarah Walker from the organisation has seen a steady increase in calls from students over the past 10 years, but said her group had received an unprecedented number of calls since the government's announcement that universities in England could charge tuition fees of up to £9,000 a year from 2012.

"They [ministers] know that the cuts they're making are driving women into things like sex work. It's a survival strategy so we would hold the government responsible for that."

Escort work

It is not just university students who are turning to the adult industry to pay for their education.

Eighteen-year-old Clare - not her real name - turned to escorting during her A-levels when she found out her education maintenance allowance (EMA) was in danger of being cut.

"I couldn't go to college without EMA. My travel costs are £70 a month, without it I don't know what I'd have done. I didn't know who I could go to in college, and I didn't want to rely on my family."

"I began looking for jobs, but the hours were unsociable. A lot of my friends have gone on to shop work, and have ended up leaving college. I didn't want that to be me."

"I had a friend who'd been trying to get me to join his escort agency since I was 16. He was telling me stories about how much I could earn, how the hours would fit around me, that I could control who I saw, when I saw them and how often.

"It just sounded more desirable. I couldn't see any other option."

Clare, who has now left the adult industry to continue her studies, warns against working in the sex industry.

"I did this so I could go to college, go to university, for it to have a positive effect on the rest of my life.

"But I'm a different person to how I was when I started out. I've lost a lot of my confidence and I've lost trust in a lot of people.

"There are people you can talk to about it, and bursaries you can get. Find out all you can before taking such a large step, because I didn't."

Financial support

A spokesman for the Department for Education said: "We are targeting £180m a year financial support at the most vulnerable 16- to 19-year-olds to help them continue their studies - with transitional funding for the students who were getting the top rate of EMA and part way through their studies.

"It is down to schools and colleges themselves to award bursaries to young people who need the most help. If students are really struggling financially, they need to speak directly to their tutors."

The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills says the new reforms in higher education funding will make the system fairer, and students will receive more financial support and have lower monthly repayments.

The NUS also told BBC 5 live Breakfast it estimated about 20% of women working in lap dancing clubs were students.

Research from the University of Kingston published last year found that the number of university students who knew someone who had worked in the sex industry to fund their studies had gone up from 3% to 25% in 10 years.

Dr Ron Roberts, senior lecturer in psychology, led the survey of several hundred university students, which also found that 16% would consider working in the sex industry.

He described the results as "worrying".

I used to laugh and think this was all nonsense.. but it isn't, indeed recently I spoke to someone that was actually contemplating it.. nearly £20k in debt, she was genuinely worried to the point of this most debasing of contemplations.

The fact is this - up until very recently, education was free. from Nursery to Tertiary, Citizen's of the UK were guaranteed, if academically smart enough, free education in some of the world's top institutions.

Then Labour came along, with Smiler Blair, and with a flood of immigrants, numbers of the like unknown in history, it became apparent that all that was good about the UK - Free Education, Healthcare etc, was under severe strain. Finally Tuition fees were brought in.. at first only £1200 a year, but we all knew this was only the start. This year most Universities have set their fees at £8000 a year.

Action-Reaction.. and now, thanks to Uncle Blair and his like, our kids are looking at whoring themselves, just to get an education.. which, it should be noted, none of those teaching, or in Parliament, had to pay for.

[Young people continue to struggle to find work]

Young people continue to struggle to find work

New figures show the general level of unemployment here has fallen but the number of people actually claiming unemployment benefit has gone up.

The number of people claiming unemployment benefit in Northern Ireland increased by 300 in November.

However, the Labour Force Survey of unemployment shows that the overall jobless rate here has fallen during the period from August to October 2011.

The jobless rate fell from 7.4% to 6.9% which is below the UK average of 8.3%.

The number of people claiming unemployment-related benefits is up by 300. The total now stands at 60,900 in November 2011.

This latest monthly increase in those claiming unemployment benefits in Northern Ireland was 0.5% which was higher than the monthly rise of 0.2% in the UK as a whole.

The Government uses different methods to measure unemployment.

Under one measurement which is a survey the overall unemployment rate fell between August and October to 6.9 per cent which is below the UK average. It is also lower than the European Union average and the Republic of Ireland where the unemployment rate is 14.2 per cent.

But the number of people signing on the dole - which is another measure of unemployment - was up in November with another 300 people here joining the unemployment register.

The figures also show that there was a fall of 750 jobs across Northern Ireland recorded in the quarter ending in September.

Over the past 12 months an additional 2,600 people have claimed unemployment benefit here, but that is the lowest annual increase among the twelve UK regions.

Economic inactivity

The Labour Force Survey indicates that 38.4% of those unemployed in Northern Ireland have been unemployed for one year or more.

The survey also records the unemployment rate for 18-24 year olds at 18.2%, meaning almost one-in-five people in that age-range are out of work.

The Labour Force Survey questions a certain number of people every month on their employment status, and is the most widely used by labour-market economists as it allows international comparisons.

The figures also show that Northern Ireland continues to have the highest level of economic inactivity in the UK.

The NI economic inactivity rate for those aged 16-64 stands at 26.9%, significantly higher than the UK average rate (23.2%).

The Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster welcomed the fall in the unemployment rate.

"Private sector jobs have now increased in two of the last three quarters, after a prolonged period of decline," she said.

"While this increase is not particularly marked, the change in direction is welcome.

"There remains considerable uncertainty in European and global markets, but a strategy that seeks to grow the private sector remains the best way forward."

There are a few reasons .. One - the number of foreign people coming into the country, undercutting local wages. Two - the cost of living, unlike wages, has increased to a point that makes young people, like students, unable to actually afford to live and study. As is the way, study ceases, and people join the dole queue.

Northern Ireland has always lagged behind the other three countries that make up the UK.. once, it was because of the Troubles, not it is the old Private vs Public investment. We are top heavy with the public sector, and in competition with the Republic for the Private sector... a competition we will lose until our taxes are reduced, or the Republic's is forced up.

I know only a few of us go there, but last night a new section in the Stormdrain Theology section opened - one for Creators. Now, I had asked for one a few times, but was always given non committal answers.. so this came as a bit of a surprise. It makes me think that someone else was also asking, thought I don't know who.

Anyway, I have asked to be a mod of it, or a junior mod (To Lycia), and hopefully she agrees.

ROME — An Italian far-right militant Tuesday killed two Senegalese vendors and wounded three people in a shooting spree in broad daylight in Florence after which he was found shot dead, media reported.

Eyewitnesses said they saw the man calmly getting out of a car at a street market on Piazza Dalmazia, north of the historic city centre, and firing off three shots that killed two vendors on the spot and gravely wounded a third.

The middle-aged white man, named as Gianluca Casseri by Corriere della Sera daily, then moved to a market in the centre where he wounded two more people.

Casseri was then shot dead, the reports said, although it was not immediately clear if he shot himself or was shot by police.

The reports said Casseri, a published author from the city of Pistoia in the Tuscany region, was using a large Magnum revolver handgun.

Around 200 Senegalese street vendors protested in the city centre after the shootings, crying and shouting "Shame! Shame!" and "Racists!" The vendors knocked over mopeds, rubbish bins and street signs in anger.

"I heard the shots but I thought they were fireworks. Then I turned around and I saw three men on the ground in blood," a street vendor was quoted by La Repubblica as saying at the scene of the Piazza Dalmazia shooting.

Another man said: "There are often Senegalese guys here who sell the usual stuff, they don't bother anyone and no-one was expecting this."

African vendors can often be seen on the streets of Italy's main cities selling African sculptures, trinkets and fake designer handbags.

Deadly attack rocks central Liege in Belgium
map

A gun and grenade attack in the centre of the Belgian city of Liege has killed at least two people and wounded about 25, Belgian media say.

They say several men threw grenades and fired on a crowd at a bus stop in Place Saint Lambert, a busy square.

Some reports say one of the attackers is among the dead. Local media said another had been seized by police but gunfire was continuing.

The area has been sealed off. There is no word on who carried out the attack.

More to follow

... not just because it is expensive, but because it inculcates racial differences to the point of being racist.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission is a product of Labour's attack on meritocracy. It was created by the Labour government passing the Equality Act of 2006.

One of its predecessors, the Commission for Racial Equality ('CRE") was a hideous concoction that sucked up public funds for various activities that exacerbated, and often created, racial differences amongst our people.

It was also created on the horrid, prejudiced and abhorrent justification that the British people are inherently racist, hence ethnic minorities need to be chosen for unfair special protection. As many a visitor and settlor to the UK in the period before and after Empire would be aware, there is simply no truth to this preposterous supposition of racism.

On this basis the "CRE", like the current existence of state backed racial equality policy, belies a vulgar and wrongful accusation that is made at the British people which is an unjustified stigma. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The activities of the "CRE" included forcing thousands of employers to absurdly, and formally, proclaim they were not racist through pointless ethnic minority employment monitoring. This expensive waste of time exercise still persists today, carried out under the recent pernicious Equality Act 2010.

By its very existence the 'CRE', like the Race Relations Act, unwittingly exacerbated differences between races by giving special protection to some and not to others. This gave validation to the criticism 'pick your prejudice' that is used to describe arbitrary and irrational methods of government in the third world. It is odd that any program of this sort designed for the supposed protection of minorities is focussed on racial differences rather than cultural assimilation.

The CRE had weakened social cohesion by encouraging protection of ethnic minorities from social opprobrium that would have otherwise lead to further assimilation. It had also advocated the most unfair of all government policy interventions into the private market: the concept of 'positive discrimination'.

This puts pressure on firms to employ persons from ethnic minorities no matter how inept they are. It also gives easy votes to BNP activists by highlighting an axiomatic unfairness. There is nothing more unedifying than the concept that folk of colour need extra help not available to others. It's as if they are disabled or have some inexplicable deficiency, almost making an irony, if not a hypocrisy, of positive discrimination's aims of racial protection.

This highlights why MPs, such as Labour's Dianne Abbott, who hold exclusive black and ethnic minority forums in their constituencies and promote positive discrimination are the last sort of person ethnic minorities need representing them.

The successor to the CRE, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (the 'EHRC'), should be of greater concern. As well as continuing the racist practice of unfairly protecting and promoting ethnic minorities, the 'EHRC' pursues the far dangerous and costly agenda of 'equality'. 

The pursuit of equality cannot occur without greater state intervention in all areas of private life. Human beings are naturally unequal and one doesn't need to listen to Mozart to appreciate this point. To alter the just idea that the best go top can only be done through unwanted and illiberal state intervention. Thus the pursuit of equality-based fairness (an oxymoron) is contrary to natural justice, merit and the fundamental human habit of competing to learn and improve.

The farcical instances where schools were giving first prizes to all students, as winning was inherently seen as unfair, under Labour should not be forgotten.  This weakens our children as it does, in turn, our country.

There is nothing liberal and conservative about the EHRC, so it should be one of the first things a Liberal-Conservative Coalition should be working to abolish. Conveniently, this would have the benefits of saving few quid that would help with reducing the public debt.

Not someone I would quote from, even from the Mail, but it is a good piece non the less..

First of all, I would like to thank the PM and fellow Reverends for accepting me into the ranks of the Church. It is indeed an honour, and something I intend to diligently build upon.

With this in mind, I thought I would say a little about myself. Some of you will only know me from being online at mad hours (though normal to me, being in the time zone I am), and from a few postings I have made.

In the summer of 77 an Ulsterwoman and Englishman got married.....

Nah, I am joking


Seriously though, I was born on St Patrick's Day 1978, in Folkestone, England. My father being, at that time, a CSM of the Parachute Regiment, and based there.
My brother was born a few years later in Reading, my Father's home town, and we were quickly moved to Belfast, were my father was based again, and my mother came from...though she says the idea of having two boys with an English accent was more than she could bear, and that we were moving anyway

As a lot of you know, Northern Ireland was pretty much in the throes of war, and I grew up much like any other working class boy in Belfast. Bombs, killings, assassinations were par for the course, and thus it was.
One thing that our petty war did do, and this was perhaps a blessing, was that immigrants would not move here.. as Irish people we are naturally conservative, enhanced by the oppression of christian church dominance.. so not only would they not move here for fear of getting killed (which would probably not have happened tbh), but because the people would not have them, and would certainly 'put them out'.

at school, whilst not academically brilliant (imo), I was lazy, always doing the minimum asked..passing by the skin of my teeth.. much to the fury of my teachers and lecturers. By the end of the 80's. as was typical, my father and mother had split, with my father returning to England, now an RSM, and my mother, thankfully, staying in her home town. By this time I was obviously an Ulsterman, with no knowledge of England at all, and proudly identified myself as such. Any retorts of being English were responded with the oft (mis)quoted line from another Irishman '"Being born in a stable does not make one a horse".. albeit, from a reverse point of view.
My first ever direction into the political sphere was via a concert being held at the local university by a group called 'Youth against Sectarianism" - something I agreed wholeheartedly with, seeing sectarianism as a curse on our island. This group turned out to be a Youth front for a political entryist party called  'Militant Labour' - which as a 15 year old, certainly appealed to my rebellious side. I joined up, not really having a clue, but very interested in a few of the women in it.
Within a short while, I was leading the Irish section (called Youth Against Sectarianism) of 'Youth Against Racism in Europe' and at a summer camp in Germany.. this was 1994. It was an interesting time, and I learned quite a lot.. first of all, nearly everyone there was white. We also each had our own sections, and all proudly flew our flags of our Nations (and us having two Nations on the Island, had two flags, much to the annoyance of some).
It was obvious at this time, via dialogue with other National Leaders, and arguments within the Party, that I was too nationalist, and whilst naturally a socialist (or as one, now passed on, leader said, more naturally socialist than any at the AGM), my 'Nationalism' and not their 'Internationalism' was a problem.. by 1996 I was proposed to the National Committee, and had become the youngest ever candidate to stand for election in Northern Ireland, being 18 and a few days (I got 333 votes). The party had voted to change its name to 'The Socialist Party' and I resigned from the party, not happy with the general direction of the group, and the people within. Champagne Socialists is a perfect name for them all.
I messed around a bit, and in 97 went to live in the Netherlands.. I worked there for a year, and then came home to follow the House family tradition, that of joining the Army. Being the rebel I was, I joined the Southern Irish army first, but was advised to leave after being told that I had been 'marked' by Republicans, die to my family history. so leave I did, and within 2 months, was in England as a private in the Royal Military Police. I should explain, a private 1st class is pretty much a recruit in the RMP.
I'll not go into all the madness that being a soldier entails, but I had a good 10 years in it, and mostly enjoyed it.. especially my secondment to the 16th Air Assault Pathfinders.. which ironically, being a RMP, put me with the Para's and my brothers Royal Irish Regiment.
Having always been political, I knew and understood what was happening, and made decisions based on that knowledge.. I stayed in the military because I was good at it, and tbh, I enjoyed it.. although it had cost me a marriage, it was also a willing partner in most of the things I wished to do.
This changed in 2008.. My current partner wrote to me, whilst on Op Herrick, that she was pregnant. I still had a few months to do, but there and then, i decided that, should I get home, I was leaving.
By December my papers were in, and the following Feb my beautiful son was born, holding him in my arms mere seconds after his entrance, I knew I made the right choice.
I still had to work my time off, and so was based in the NI HQ in Lisburn, with the remnant of 2 RMP. Op Banner was coming to an end, and NI was in the middle of a peaceful (mostly) era.

As a boy and man, I have always enjoyed learning about other cultures, and how they compared to my own.. indeed my Primary school, being close to the University, had many children from abroad in it. We would teach them English, they would explain their ways to us.. such are children.
Now that I was back home, I noticed that people were changing.. in our quickness to learn to love the other side of our divided community, niggers etc were coming.. though they still made people stop and stare, they were becoming too common.

I hit the books.

Now, I had a honours degree already, from my time in the military (in Biology), and had a keen interest in Religion.. I found that even the least religious of us suddenly hoped for something more when pinned down by enemy fire. This set me on a journey of exploration, through all the various branches of the christian church, I acquired a few qualifications in theology in my studies, but ultimately came to the same conclusion every time.
This is a lie, and alien to us.
I actually tried to suppress that thought.. but the more I studied, the more I knew it to be true. Every book, every apologetic, was written on the premise of something that had never justified it's acquired position - enforced faith.

I had always been racially aware, but unlike most, we had no reason to proclaim or acknowledge a problem.. it was never an issue here, and until very recently, would just have been taken as normal.

Whilst in my second hand bookshop, I chanced across NER. I had a quick look, but put it back, and dismissed it as nonsense. Whilst at home I logged on to the various websites that would support our kind of thinking, and searched the Church out.. reading opinions etc. I decided that, after going through the usual posts of denigration, that I had been a bit unfair in my assessment, indeed, I spent the whole night reading NER online, and found myself agreeing with it.. it was like the circuit had become complete, and the bulb burned brightly!
I went back to the shop to get the book, but have never found it again (it has hundreds of thousands of books in little order).. but in short order, I joined here (having looked at alternatives), and here I am.

[Italy is moving to centre stage in the eurozone debt crisis.]

I just read an article on the BBC about the 'crisis' the Government has, as a part of the Euro fiscal nightmare, and thought it worth reprinting it here.. Without saying it, it perfectly shows how the hookneb works...

Italy is moving to centre stage in the eurozone debt crisis.

While Greece has generated a lot of noise, it is increasingly seen as a sideshow.

Greece's debt problems are already widely known and the immediate consequences of a Greek default largely anticipated.

Moreover, the size of the Greek economy is small enough that the direct damage if Greece stopped paying its debts should be quite manageable for the eurozone.

Instead, the big fear is "contagion" - that a Greek default could trigger a financial catastrophe for other, much bigger economies.

That is why European leaders announced in October a significant expansion of its bailout fund, the European Financial and Stability Facility (EFSF).

And it seems it is Italy that is now seen as the lead candidate for that contagion among Europe's big economies and the main possible beneficiary of the enhanced bailout fund.

Why is that?

Prudent Italy?

According to Germany's Chancellor, Angela Merkel, "Italy has great economic strength, but Italy does also have a very high level of debt and that has to be reduced in a credible way in the years ahead."

As with Greece, she and other eurozone leaders believe the solution is more government austerity - spending cuts and tax rises - by Rome.

However, some economists might disagree with her assessment.

The Italian government's debt, at 118% of GDP (annual economic output) is certainly high, even by European standards.

But dig a little deeper, and the picture changes.

Unlike their counterparts in Spain or the Irish Republic, ordinary Italians have not run up huge mortgages, and generally have very little debt.

That means that according to the Bank of International Settlements Italy as a country - not just a government - is not actually terribly indebted compared with other big economies such as France, Canada or the UK.

Moreover, the large debts of the Italian government are nothing new. It has got by just fine with a debt ratio over 100% of its GDP ever since 1991.

The main reason is because - unlike Greece - Italy is actually quite financially prudent.

The government spends less on providing public services and benefits to its people than it earns in taxes, and has been doing so every year since 1992, except for the recession year of 2009.

Indeed, the only reason Italy continues to borrow at all is to meet the principal and interest payments on its existing debts.

Grim outlook

So why is Italy in trouble now?

The reason is because its economy is so weak.

Italy is plagued by poor regulation, vested business interests, an ageing population, and weak investment, all of which have conspired to limit the country's ability to increase production.

The country has averaged an abysmal 0.75% annual economic growth rate over the past 15 years.

That is much lower than the rate of interest it pays on its debts.

And this creates a risk that the government's debt load could grow more quickly than the Italian economy's capacity to support it.

In the past, this risk has not materialised, thanks to Italy's relatively high inflation rate, which has steadily pushed up the government's tax revenues.

But now the outlook is much more grim.

Self-fulfilling prophecy

Like other southern European economies, Italian wage levels rose too quickly during the good years, and left Italy uncompetitive versus Germany and other northern economies within the eurozone.

How does the eurozone bailout plan, the European Financial Stability Facility, actually work?

That lack of competitiveness is likely to mean many years of even weaker growth and low inflation, as Italian workers find their pay is frozen, or even cut, until they regain a price advantage over German workers.

But lower growth and inflation suddenly make the Italian government's debt load look much less sustainable.

Further government spending cuts are likely to hurt the economy even more, and - as Greece is discovering - may not even do much to improve the government's borrowing needs if they lead to a sharp rise in unemployment.

That scary outlook has freaked out markets, and lenders are demanding a much higher interest rate from Italy in order to lend it the new money it needs to repay its old debts as they come due.

To borrow money for just one year, Italy now has to pay an interest rate of 6.05%. Germany, by contrast, must pay only 0.25%.

But of course this higher cost of borrowing makes Italy's debts look even less sustainable.

That means the market's loss of confidence in Italy could well end up becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.

If nobody will lend to Italy, then Italy cannot repay its debts. And if Italy cannot repay its debts, then nobody will lend to it.

And if markets do panic and switch their money out of Italian debt into "safe" German debt, Italy would need an enormous bailout that would dwarf the original 440bn-euro EFSF, agreed in July.

Much of this fund had already been earmarked to support Greek government spending.

Insurance

The new deal is designed to prevent this scenario.

European leaders have agreed to expand the EFSF to, in effect, insure lending to countries such as Italy up to a value of about 1tn euros - three or four times what was available before.

The hope is that this will also reduce the cost of Italy's borrowing and so make it easier for the country to pay back its debts without drawing on the facility's insurance.

But the deal comes with caveats - Italy is expected to implement a new round of austerity measures to ensure its debts stay under control.

It is not clear that the coalition government - led by Silvio Berlusconi - is able to implement further cuts.

Furthermore, if the economy then fails to grow - as happened in Greece - and Italy looks even less able to pay back its debts, investors may ask who will ultimately pay for insuring them.

October's deal did not go into details on how the expansion of the lending facility would ultimately be funded.

As most of you are aware, I am fairly new to the Church, and indeed have only recently started to read our Guiding Texts. Again, like most of you, I am awash with that feeling in which, for the first time, everything just 'clicks', and makes sense.

Whilst reading and taking notes (A habit of mine), I found myself asking questions aloud.
Who, what, where.. Why?
And it occurred to me that it would be great if we, as a family, could sit down (internet wise of course) and go through each book, chapter by chapter. This way we could ask questions of one another regarding what it means to you, and therefore educate one another, as well as ourselves. I also think it would be a handy thing for those, like myself, who are new, and are still on the outside, moving in from the cold.

I hope you all agree, and to be honest, this will only work if there is participation.

I look forward to seeing, meeting and talking with you all about this most important and personal of things.

Your Brother, Neill
