It's Advent – Happy New Year
From time to time I have posted here about our Christian Festivals and Feasts and I hope that the information I have given has been of some use. In the Christian Kalendar (strictly, list of things Christian) it is Advent and the Liturgical New Year began at the start of Advent back on the First ...Read More...

The New Dictators
Let me ask all you citizens of the USA a question. Please answer this question honestly and without getting too hot under the collar and shouting at me for even having the temerity and stupidity to ask it. Bear in mind that I really, genuinely, want to know your answer.
The question is this:

The Fruits Of Field Work And Scholarship
It is very rare that one encounters a truly scholarly tome that one instinctively knows must have been a labour of love to write, but I have by me just such a book. One cannot overestimate its importance to even the most casual observer of the countryside and I, and others, await with bated ...Read More...

Bombproof Bomb Making?
This report is from The Telegraph.
Iran has started moving the machines that enrich nuclear fuel from the central city of Natanz to an underground bunker near the northern city of Qom, its top nuclear official was quoted as saying on Monday.

Remember Why The Good Lord Made Your Eyes
Hugh, in this article, reminded me of this immortal work from 1953. Gosh, plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose (as J-B. A. Karr wrote in the January, 1849 edition of Les Guêpes).

Do The Policies Of The Left Trigger Psychopathic Behaviour?
A few weeks ago, on the twenty-second of July to be precise, Anders Breivik killed sixty-nine people in a double terrorist attack in Norway. The media, and such organs as Wikipedia as well, have decided, with no good evidence, that Breivik is a right-wing extremist and that we on the right, ...Read More...

A View From Israel - How Some Are Thinking About The Future
Brig. Gen. (Ret.) Michael Herzog has a particular view on what's going on in the Middle East and over at http://www.bicom.org.uk/ he poses an interesting question:
The fact that the transition in Egypt is managed by the military and secular forces has tempered initial ...Read More...

Muslim Piracy Extends Its Area Of Operation And the Governments Do What Exactly? Oh Yes – Nothing At All
This from The Telegraph, Calcutta, India:
The 53 Indian sailors in Somali pirates’ captivity could be much closer home than believed.
The pirates are now operating closer to the Indian coastline than ever before, perhaps less than 100km from Lakshadweep, the Centre ...Read More...

Monolithic Brotherhood Might Be Undermined By The Effects Of Recent Events On Its Youths
It’s not even a small chink in the armour of Egyptian Islamism but given the demographic profile of both Egypt and the Brotherhood it’s a sign that a chink might one day develop.
This from Al-Masry Al-Youm:
In a conference rejected by the Muslim Brotherhood's ...Read More...

Islam – The Perpetual Nuisance
I keep writing about the childish stupidity of the Palestinian Arabs and their simple belief that they can fool people by playing games and tricks that are so obvious that a blind man could see through them. It would all be so funny if it wasn’t, literally, deadly serious.

When Is A Contract Not A Contract?
When it’s made by a Muslim, of course; then it’s just a temporary cessation of hostilities until he, the Muslim, can stick one to you.
On the 25th. it was reported in Ma'ariv that the supply of natural gas from Egypt to Israel, which was suspended in early February ...Read More...

Israeli Government Stupidity Meets Hamas’s Criminal Cupidity
The ‘Loony Left’ is just as much of a problem in Israel as it is in most other free and democratic countries and it is just as confused, cozening and callow, there, as anywhere else. In Israel it has led to a weird state of affairs fully supported by the left-wing that means that the Government ...Read More...

A Different Victory Of The Cross

Persecuted And Forgotten?

How The Left Robbed Us Blind And How Today The E.U. Colludes With The Robbers
I have written before at this site, and I’ll write it here again, that I believe that in any other free society but the UK those who held office in the last government would now be arraigned on charges of malfeasance whilst in public office and would be facing hefty gaol sentences. Regrettably, ...Read More...

Criminality Is, As Expected, Rife In Egypt.
The criminality that I am referring to is of the looting and destruction kind – in this case the looting and destruction of Egyptian, and world, heritage. This is not, yet, being done for some theological Islamic reason (that will come later) but simply because, as usual, a Muslim population left ...Read More...

It should be noted that the terrorist Hamas group which controls the Gaza Strip also control, using criminal methods including violent intimidation, the smuggling of goods into the Gaza Strip. Naturally, Hamas charges a large premium on such goods and uses the money for its own nefarious ends.

A Preamble And Ash Wednesday
Most of you observant readers may have noticed that for some time now I have posted intermittently about the Christian Festivals which occur throughout the year – specifically using the western kalendar, but in my doing so I intend no offence to Orthodoxy; it is simply that I am much more familiar ...Read More...

Out Of Every 100 People Killed Because Of Religious Hatred At Least 75 Are Christians
Although much fuss is made on sites like ours when Christians, or other innocent people, are slaughtered by Muslims (the sort of event that the main stream media outlets relegate to the inside pages if they bother to report them at all) we seldom bother to report what happens next and what the affected ...Read More...
