The truth will out (barely and almost unnoticed)
I suppose most readers of this blog will know about the ghastly murder of Autumn Pasquale, the 12 year-old New Jersey girl brutally killed just for her BMX bike. On the face of it the MSM treatment of this case had all hallmarks of the now rampant black on white violence epidemic:
() Race of perps not mentioned
() No pictures of perps until the blogs (bless them) forced the MSM's hand
() Initial blaze of MSM publicity fades away once it emerges the perps are black
() Multiple references to the 'mistake' the murderers made. Some called them 'fools'
() Multiple references to them as 'children'
() Numerous references to 'the sufferings of both families'
() No reference to the fact that the murderers were renowned bicycle thieves (which of course begs the question as to why they were out free to continue robbing, and to eventually murder)
() No 'Trayvon Statement' from the President or the First Ho'
() Complete absence of the Rev'unds Jesse and Al from the spectacle
() The police and MSM seize on the fact that the sperm bucket 'mother' of the perps reported them to the cops once she became aware of their guilt via Facebook postings. Brave and honest 'mother' becomes a cause celebre in the MSM.
It was this latter point that really got me interested. Because I just refused to believe that anything good could come from the creature that gestated these two sub-human morlocks. So I read up everything about it, anything I could get at, in the weeks since the murder. And eventually the carefully contrived hagiography of the sperm bucket began to crumble, mainly by way of input from people in that area of New Jersey. The sickening, but by no means surprising truth is that the sow snitched on the boys only when a $10,000 reward was offered for information. That's right, she turned in her own offspring to claim a financial reward.
This is the 'saintly' and 'noble' woman we read about in the MSM. ("It appears the boys' mother has a good moral character")
Bear in mind that the body of the unfortunate child had been stored in the murderers' tiny hovel for several days, as was her distinctive BMX bike, but the sow somehow never spotted anything. When the police came calling (the perps were suspects from day one, see below) she refused them entry, forcing them to get a search warrant. In the interim the body was dumped in a refuse bin. Then the reward was announced, to be followed by the sow's heroic gesture. It's notable that the police were asked on several occasions to specify what exactly on Facebook alerted the sow but declined to answer. We've seen this many times with unscrupulous careerists in the police and defence forces who've learned to play the PC game.
But there were some exceptions. Here's one: 'The people who hide black on white crime have her blood on their hands just like those two boys.'
The only thing we were spared was learning that 'the boys were starting to turn their lives around'
Anyway, here are two of the comments from local residents.
(1) "How did the mother not see a bike matching the EXACT description of a missing girls bike in her home? For almost three days that bike was in her house and she claims that facebook status' made her suspicious?
the mother of the killers wasnt a saint , she knew the evidence was in her house ,and on line , she turned her kids in for the reward money .she ll probably write a book , go on oprah get al and jessie to hold her hand and rake in the interview cash . she s worse than octomom congratulations on your win fall monstermom
The mother called about the 10k reward money and her call was traced, no such thing as her turning in her black deviant kids."
(2) "Well she had a dead girl in her basement for days and her boys were able to take the body outside to put in a recycling bin without her knowing a thing somehow. All the stolen bikes in the basement too.
The mother supposedly saw the post on Tuesday and reported it, but where was she since Saturday when the girl went missing and was likely murdered in her home? Days passed by and mom never noticed the dead girl in her house? Never noticed the girls bike everyone was searching for?
All of a sudden she was alerted by a Facebook post on Tuesday morning.when she called about the reward money. The boys brought the body outside and stuffed it into a recycling bin on Monday the night before. Where was she all this time?
The mother called about the reward money and the police went to the home. She couldn't claim the reward since she's part of the immediate family and tips had already come in. Police brought Cadaver dogs to the area, finding the body in the blue recycling bin. She denied entry to her home until police brought back a search warrant, found DNA evidence in the house, along with the bicycle, etc."

Uncle Nasty's victimhood hierarchy
I've written a few times (most recently here) about the Victimhood Hierarchy. Who's top, blacks, Muslims, lesbians, and who's at the bottom? the latter is simple of course: White males. Now UN takes a recent case in the UK where the aggressor was a black male, the victim a Muslim female. How should a diversocrat handle this tricky situation? Bury the news, or highlight the unfortunate victim? If only the perp had been a White male....
Anyway, this is UN's take on it.
"You may recall the nigger who sucker-punched a girl in the UK a few days ago?
Apparently he was dissaspekted. She gave him a look that dissaspekted him ... which is why, naturally, he beat the living shit out of her.
http://www.amren.com/news/2012/11/thug-34-admits-punching-16-year-old-girl-unconscious-in-shocking-random-street-attack-which-was-caught-on-cctv/
Interestingly enough, she was (is, sorry) a muslim. So, what we have here, is a coddled minority group (muslim) belonging to another coddled minority group (women ... that is to say, anyone excepting white women) having the snot beaten out of of her by a third coddled minority group (nigger).
The hoomin rightists must have wet their frilly pants over this.
It's like some sort of demented five-card stud --
"I'll see your woman and I'll raise you a nigger."
" ... and I'll see your nigger and smack you with this muslim. Got anything higher? A wheelchair-bound cripple perhaps? A jew? A poof? Transsexual? Underage hooker?"
"Nope ... none of those. Got a junkie, abused as a child though. How about a refugee?"
"Not good enough. They're a dime a dozen. I take the pot."
That's how it's done, these days."
"Save da village son. Stay away"
A Nigerian living in Cork passed on this poignant telephone exchange between himself and his mother back in Nigeria. The poor guy.......
"Mama, I have AIDS."
Mother: "Don't come back home, my son, don't come back home, you stay there!"
Man: "Why mama, why now, what I do now?"
Mother: "You foolish boy! You see, if you come back home, then your wife will be infected. From your wife to your brada, from your brada to our maid, from our maid to your fada, from your fada to my sista, from my sista to her hasband, from him to me, from me to the gardener, from the gardener to your sista. And if your sista got AIDS, yoyo, then the whole village is in trouble!
So please please please SAVE OUR VILLAGE, DON'T COME BACK HOME!"

A reflection on diversity
We have of course had the benefits of diversity rammed down our throats for decades by now. Nothing too specific, mind you. So you learn that diversity 'challenges assumptions', 'opens minds', 'unlocks our potential to solve any problems we may face'. Or to quote Jimmy Carter, 'we have become a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams.'
Well on ya, Jimmy.
But the diversocrats' mission has an in-built and fundamental contradiction. You see, if we follow the 'logic' of their social engineering project to its inevitable conclusion, eventually all different races will blend in together and we'll have 'coffee-coloured people by the score'. So yes, the inevitable logic of diversity and its implementation toolsets (mass immigration to White lands, bussing, Section 8, quotas, end of the right to free association etc.) means, well, the end of diversity.
Odd, isn't it?
But of course maybe the real agenda has been met. The blending out of the White race.
For Whom The Bell Curve Tolls
'That's a joke, right? Please tell me it's a joke'. Such was my initial reaction on reading this pearl from Britain's Education Secretary Michael Gove: 'Teachers are guilty of "soft bigotry" by giving children from ethnic minorities lower marks than white pupils'. How, I asked myself, are such people allowed breathe and procreate, let alone occupy the highest positions of government?
But as I read on an idea began to form in my fevered mind. You see he intends to 'mount a staunch defence of the role of "proper tests", which are set and marked externally, and the results of which are recorded in league table ranking schools in order of their achievements.' Mmmm.... My idea was that maybe this guy is actually quite smart after all.
Look, let's assume - OK, I know it sounds crazy - but let's assume for a minute that Conservatives really do want to be conservative. That they want people to be judged on merit rather than skin colour, that they want to avoid and undo mad social engineering projects, and get value for tax-payers' money. Where better to focus than on that giant cocoon of lies built around the Potemkin village of minority educational shortcomings?
Maybe he knows the truth - that blacks are too dumb and Muslims brain-damaged through inter-breeding and stupefied from learning by rote the ravings of a seventh century homicidal paedophile and that in fact teachers are in reality marking up the minorities. And that independent external blind testing would show this up. But he also knows that were he to say this openly it'd be like poking a stick into a hive of angry hornets. But, assuming my theory is correct, he has, at a stroke, not only precluded such a reaction but in fact come up smelling of roses. How could anyone who imputes the victimhood to persecuted minorities and the blame to Whites not be a Good Person with his hand on the pulse of the nation?
Maybe I'm all wrong. But I could be right. If so maybe there's hope.....

A real Holocaust miracle
I got amazing news recently. Esther Lewandowski, a famous Holocaust survivor, has moved to a town nearby. Now was my chance to finally put to rest all my doubts and misgivings. On seeing her I was immediately impressed by her vitality. A woman who surely must be in her eighties by now was swinging an axe and splitting logs with a single blow.
'Good morning Mrs. Lewandowski' I called out cheerfully, 'can I have a brief chat with you about your experiences during the Holocaust?'
'Oy vey! oy vey!' she threw her hands in the air 'how can I speak of such things? The horror! The horror!
'Well I was planning to write a book or make a film about you'
'Oh! Why didn't you say so? Come on in. So, where to begin? I suppose it started with the Death March to Auschwitz from my home at Bialystok.'
'Actually that's something I always wanted to understand. Why did they drive you on a Death March to Auschwitz, with all the cost and effort, if they were going to kill you anyway? I mean wouldn't it have been easier to.......'
'How the hell do I know?' she glared at me 'I was just a girl of ten' .
'Anyway, when we got to the Death Camp we were taken straight to the gas chamber. They stuffed us in, one after the other. But then a Miracle occurred....I fell out and escaped!'
'But what about the guard putting you in?'
'You've heard I presume Elie Wiesel's evidence how the blood spurted into the air as you walked in Auschwitz? Well, as the guard reached over to put me in a giant spurt of blood shot up into his eye, temporarily blinding him. That enabled me to escape. It was a Miracle, I tell you'
'You can say that again! But how did you escape from the camp itself?'
'Another Miracle! You know that they used to fell giant trees, crushing the victims underneath? Well, the wind changed that very second and the tree fell onto the guards instead. And then rolled over making a gap in the fence big enough for me to escape'
'My God! It is indeed a Miracle. A Miracle! And tell me, how did you survive outside the camp...did the Poles help you?'
'Ach, the Poles!' she spat. 'Let me tell you, they are twice as bad as the Germans. No, They actually threw me to the wolves'
'Do you mean that literally or figuratively?'
'I tell you. There was this pack of wolves passing by, and the bastards threw me into the middle of them. A poor twelve year-old orphan'
'I thought you were only ten?'
'Oy vey! You grow up fast in these camps I tell you. Then the final Miracle. The wolves, instead of eating me, took me into their pack and looked after me until the end of the war. And now if you can excuse me I have a number of compensation claims to fill out'
I left her, humbled by the presence of someone who had suffered so much, who had endured. I must tell her story. Now what's Steven Spielberg's number?
I have an Excel spreadsheet.......
I have an Excel file on my computer. The filename is a bit of a give-away. It's called goodjews.xlsx. In it I record, for future reference, the names and various other data of Jews who have - publicly - questioned significant aspects of the prevailing anti-White narrative. I keep this file as I believe, or want to believe, that all prominent Jews should not be seen as our mortal enemies. That we have friends out there among them. Despite the rather undemanding qualification for inclusion, the file (opened I just note on March 18 last) remains small. Very small.
And it shows no sign of getting much bigger. Au contraire, as Delboy might say.
You see, it appears to me that whenever anything really outrageously anti-White comes to my attention, Jewish people are deeply in the mix, despite representing just about about 3% of most Western nations. I'll give you just two very recent examples.....and there are many more, believe me. In the penultimate issue of Newsweek's print edition (before it goes to its richly merited demise) David Frum wrote a gloating article celebrating, rejoicing in the demise of Whites....whom he equates with the Republican Party.
Jonah Goldberg and Harold Meyerson have adjoining pieces in the LA Times betraying similar sentiments, despite a veneer of concern.
Then there's this from the Daily Mail: "An official inquiry into child sex gangs will fail to highlight the targeting of white girls by Pakistani men. Instead the year-long Government-backed investigation will say that child sex abuse is a problem caused by men of all backgrounds in towns and cities across the country. The findings of the inquiry by Sue Berelowitz, the Deputy Children's Commissioner for England......."
Sue Berelowitz. Oh dear, I don't like the sound of this. Can it be? Yes it can and yes it is. Sue is Jewish and we've been fucked over once again. It's not like this is an exception. It's the norm. And it's clear that Berelowitz and all the others like her would accept greater Islamic degradation of White societies, or what's left of them, even though Jews themselves will be prime targets for the Religion Of Peace once they gain sufficient power.
This lends further credence to the distressing theory that Jews use their power to do down White gentiles, irrespective of the collateral damage. Even if it's themselves. For example Rabbi Baruch Efrati believes Jews should 'rejoice at the fact that Europe is paying for what it did to us for hundreds of years by losing its identity.' That's great rabbi, thanks a mill.
That Excel file doesn't look like growing too much in the future.

What a toxic brew
Wow, what a toxic combination:
A woman. Nay, a brown woman. A brown foreign woman. A brown foreign non-Christian woman. Half a dozen victimhoods rolled into one already. And she has to die because, Ireland being a Catholic country, her viable foetus cannot be aborted. Any one of these factors would be enough to activate the hive of PC fanatics, waiting, delicate nostrils quivering as they scent out any new opportunity for outrage. But all of them rolled into one? No wonder the country's been engulfed in a tsunami of outraged protest ever since the news got out. The Indian Government itself has got into the act, with the Irish Times' correspondent there solemnly informing us that the incident could lead to 'a diplomatic incident' between the two countries.
Wow again.
OK, so what do we actually know about the case? We do know that the unfortunate woman did die under an operation in Galway's University Hospital, and that she was four months pregnant at the time. And what else do we actually know?
Well, surprisingly, that's about it.
So why the mass international outrage? Well, this stems from what her husband claims happened. He claims that his wife wanted an abortion because she felt there was something wrong with the foetus, but was told that this is a Catholic country and it was against the law. Now personally I'd be very surprised if any senior health official said such a thing in today's PC-whipped Ireland. Very surprised indeed. If for no other reason that, while it is a grey area, the law here allows a foetus to be aborted if the life of the mother is at risk. And the whole basis of the husband's case is that her life was in fact at risk. (And by the way if any woman wants an abortion at any time she can hop over the England and get it done.)
So what's going on here? Look, I quite like Indians and we have a lot of them on this blog. But guys, let's just put it this way, you're not exactly Scandinavians when it comes to financial probity. In fact, not to put too fine a point on it, financial shenanigans are your stock in trade. Given all the victimhoods tied up in this, and Ireland's pathological need to be nice to the fuzzy wuzzies, the husband stands to pocket an absolutely enormous financial settlement. If his allegations hold up. To say he has skin in the game would be an understatement. And yes, at this point in time we have only his word for the story that has swept the world.
Now to the Indian Government and their 'outrage' I say FUCK YOU. Irish tourists have died over there as a result of a particularly deplorable scam whereby restaurants poison their tourist customers and then, when the victim feels ill, direct them to private hospitals in on the scam. Who then proceed to shake down the victim for everything he has. Indian Government please note: Numerous people, including some from Ireland, have died from this. And you do bugger all about it. Only a few weeks ago an Irish tourist was found injured somewhere in India. He was left untreated so long (as the hospital checked whether he had insurance cover that they could rip off) that permanent brain damage ensued.
But such incidents are passed over and forgotten about within a day or two. You see the victims are male, they're white and from Christian stock. So actually, they're not victims at all, in fact. You see, there's no such thing as a white male Christian victim.
So my take? We simply do not know what happened in this case other than that a woman died under a procedure at a reputable teaching hospital. An independent investigation has been ordered and I really feel we should wait until this has been completed and the report issued.
Some chance!
No, this opportunity will be milked for everything it's worth between now and then.

More American Turd Worldisms
Developing on the previous post on how America is heading for Turd World status.....
() A black President
() A black President who keeps all the loot for his own tribe
() A President who can order the killing of anyone he chooses without legal constraint
() A President who ignores his country's Constitution as a matter of course
() A militarised domestic police force
() Emails, phone calls and text messages can be intercepted without a warrant
() Legislation that might literally make it a felony to peacefully protest
() Legislation (NDAA) that allows its military to arrest, imprison and torture without due process
() A President who can order the seizure of food, land, energy resources from anyone and requisition skilled labourers to work on projects at his pleasure
() Massive corruption
() A bankrupt treasury
() A debasement of the country's currency to fund grandiose projects
() Some of the country's major cities reverting to lawless jungles
I could go on but I think I've made my case.
Turd World America
Sandy was a Category 2 hurricane, i.e. the second least severe. The type Cuba and other Caribbean countries experience several times a year. The timing and location of its landfall were predicted accurately days in advance. Yet the outcome was what you'd expect in the Third World. The headline from a post in the SHTF blog says it all: Starvation, supply shortages, food lines, no clean water, no gas, transportation standstill. They could have added people digging through trashcans, looting, and gunfire in queues to the list of horrors. Weeks later the situation remains terrible in many places.
What's become of the great can-do America, the one that took such challenges in its stride, planned, made provisions and then afterwards worked together to clear up the mess and get back to normal? Well that America no longer exists. If you wonder why the response was Third-World-like, it's because America's population has now rapidly heading towards 50% Third World (I include all blacks in that, irrespective of when their forebears arrived).
But it gets worse. Due to quotas, AA, and legal rulings on disparate impact, crucial agencies such as FEMA, fire brigades, police, and ambulance services are swamped with barely literate unqualified, corrupt, unhelpful and incompetent 'minorities', right up to the top levels. Meanwhile capable Whites, the kind of people who'd have produced world-class performance at those agencies have been downgraded and marginalised. These once proud and efficient services have been corrupted, debased and demoralised and are now significantly unfit for purpose. Hence the abysmal response to Sandy, including the story of the FEMA facility closed down due to the weather! (Here to help: Weather permitting).
Blacks don't prepare. Never did, never will. Same to a lesser degree with Hispanics.. Both will tend to take a manana approach. Neither are they enthused about deferring spending to offset future threats. Not when they could use the money to buy the latest sneakers or a new set of rims. When disaster strikes the typical reaction will be to sit back helplessly and demand action by the authorities......and looting the stores and homes before help arrives.
As Plato said, 'this City is what it is because our citizens are what they are'. And America is what it is because its citizens are what they are. And what they are is increasingly Third World. As the heroic NY firemen of 9/11 will attest, standards everywhere have been debased to the lowest common denominator to accommodate 'minorities'. In a comment on the previous post AnalogMan gives us a link which shows that after his re-election Obama plans to put these measures on steroids. Every workplace must 'look like America'. Unless of course the proportion of minorities is actually way above what America 'looks like', for example the Postal Service. In which case it's 'nothing to see here, move along now'. Amazingly, it seems you can have diversity even if everyone is the same colour. Provided it's black.
As I said above, Sandy was a Category 2 Hurricane. Now think how these useless agencies would perform in a real disaster, say were the San Andreas Fault or Yellowstone to pop. Think how the hopelessly unprepared Third World proportion of the population would act. These are not pleasant thoughts.
As I've said again and again, future historians will look back in baffled wonder at how Whites threw it all away, just when they were at their peak. As they do it our descendants will curse us.
May I end with a quote from the great John Adams: Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
Feminism's poison chalice
On the face of it, feminism has been an unalloyed success for women. They enjoy freedoms inconceivable in earlier times, discriminatory preferences over men (well White men anyway) in college admissions and promotions at work, they earn more and the law is massively biased in their favour. They're 'empowered' baby! And nowhere more so than in sex and mating.
Social convention (or lack of same), contraception and abortion rights mean she no longer needs to remain chaste and virginal, hoping to be chosen by Mr. Right, marrying and having children while young, consigned to a life of drudgery and housework. Now the liberated young woman plays the field, hooks up, makes out. She has countless temporary relationships that won't interfere with education or career. Then, when she comes to her early thirties she'll look to settle down and have her 1.5 children with a suitably emasculated husband.
Boy, it's a woman's world.
Look at it this way. When it comes to mating, what does your average raging hormone young man want? Am I projecting when I say plenty of sex with plenty of girls…..with little or no commitment? Or the real dream, have chicks come up to them and ask if they want to hook up, followed by casual sex, and then on to the next conquest? That's the way it is today following the triumph of feminism.
But is that what most women really want? Somehow I doubt it. Maybe I'm wrong, but, just as the male is biologically programmed to spread his seed far and wide before eventually settling down with his love mate, the female is programmed to treat her reproductive capabilities with great discretion. (The young black man is a bit different in that he likes to play the field a bit, and see which babies come out the prettiest, before he settles down with just three or four of his favourite wummins). Both genders are programmed to have children and most, especially women, are likely to feel unfulfilled in their absence. Glamorous career or not.
Now go back to the having it all young woman. Empowered by an active sex life from her late teens onwards, and having established a glittering career in HR or Marketing (only dykes are of use in any other jobs) she's now, having moved into her thirties, ready for phase two of her plan: To choose an appropriate mate and start a family. Aha! But theirein lies the rub. Because the years of maximum sexual attractiveness and fertility are now rapidly disappearing in the slipstream behind her. Those years, characterised by casual relationships in which she probably held the whip hand (metaphorically speaking) have not prepared her well for long-term commitment. And another big shock: She'll find that a very very high proportion of desirable men have already made their choices and settled down.
It happens all the time. Even here in this remote corner of Ireland I know lots and lots of attractive clever young women who realised late - too late - that they really did want a normal family. But by that time they are unprepared for it. Their skills revolve around being sexy career women, and when they lose the "sexy" part they're left with nothing but a career — usually not a particularly impressive one in HR or Marketing. Within a few short years, years that fly by with horrifying speed, they are, to use the cruel colloquialism, 'past it'. Embittered, barren, hollowed-out husks, asking themselves where it all went wrong.
Meanwhile her male counterparts, having enjoyed her body while it was at its most sexually desirable, are now settled down with someone else. Someone who's not as liberated as our heroine. And to crown it all the reality of innate capabilities and commercial pressures have meant that he's now overtaken her.....she who thrived initially on AA but who just couldn't cut it as the going got tougher and tougher and as her enthusiasm dropped on realising that career was a poor substitute for a family.
So maybe feminism has worked to men's advantaged after all. The gods of karmic retribution truly act in strange ways.
And the real reason is?
Maybe it's because, basking in the warm glow of Celtic's superlative win over Barcelona last night, the ensuing endorphins still flooding my brain........but I feel outraged at the jailing of a Rangers supporter. Normally this would be a cause for joy (it would not actually, if you need to know) but the circumstances of this case make it nothing short of outrageous.
Connor McGhie, 19, never in trouble with the police before, got three months for religiously aggravated breach of the peace at a game at Inverness. The sheriff who jailed him said: "The extent of the hatred he showed took my breath away." And what specifically took his breath away? He said rude things about the Pope and called Celtic "Fenian b******s".
Oh my god! I'm sure every Celtic fan, on hearing this, would have swooned, got a right fit of the vapours. In actual fact I have never - ever - come across a Celtic fan, and I know hundreds, who'd be offended at such 'insults'. Far less would it induce them to commit retaliatory violence. In fact the trading of insults has been part and parcel of these games, and in truth I've seen fans laugh at the often very humorous nature of opposing chants.
So why the ferocity of the sentence? Well obviously it's part and parcel of the whole PC and multicultural agenda, the kind of thing I've been talking about here and in many other similar posts. But I wonder is there a bit more to it. Is it just one more attack on the much-despised white working class Brit? When you see that raddled pox-ridden ex-whore Madonna and middle class icons such as Stephen Fry and Ian Hislop say similar things there are only insider smiles. Were any of them to get three months jail the air would be blue with the outrage of the chattering classes. There'd be an explosion of marches, stirring editorials from the 'respectable' MSM outlets and a rapid capitulation from the authorities.
No, the doughty white British working class, the essence of arguable the world's most successful military ever, must be emasculation and further marginalised. You see, they'd be a threat to The Project......the one that plans to socially re-engineer the White race out of existence. They must be cowed into submission. We'll put manners on 'em. Connor McGhie, and that 17 year old Celtic fan arrested in a dawn raid some time ago for singing some forbidden song will have learned their lesson. As will their contemporaries.
Am I being paranoid? Maybe, but I don't think so.
Many a true word spoken in jest
Almost exactly a year ago I posted on the Downton Abbey series. Set in Edwardian England, it traces the goings-on of the aristocratic Crawley family and has entered the Guinness Book of Records as the 'most critically acclaimed television show' for the year. Series Three has been an even bigger success. But I pointed out the programme's single fatal flaw: No 'people of colour'. Well, as Nastiest Uncle has pointed out, it looks like that omission will be remedied in Series Four.
With that in mind I humbly offer my suggestion for one potential scene. You'll notice the greatly improved authenticity in my proposed cast (lower foto) compared to the original one shown above. Hope Mr. Fellowes will like it.
Scene: A tense occasion at Downton Abbey as the extended family contemplate developments in the miners' strike. Copious quantities of chicken and watermelon grace the table in the Great Hall while deafening rap 'music' shakes the ancient beams of the abbey. The sweet yet pungent scent of cannabis wafts from a bong in the corner while in the distance a muezzin calls the faithful to prayer.
Enter Lord Lamaricus of Didbury (played by Dizzee Rascal):
Lord Lamaricus: 'Yo! Whazzup muddafuckers, yooz all peep sad trippin' an' sheet'
Baron de Betancourt (played by Idris Elba): 'Lawd Lamaricus, de wekkas at de mine, day has no money. Dare chillun be starving. Noam sane?'
Lord Lamaricus : 'Whaaat? Tell Lawd Mohammed of Tower Hamlets to get his ass in here right now''
Lord Mohammed (played by Syed Masood, the guy from Eastenders) enters the room.
Lord Lamaricus:' Where da money fo' da wekkas?'
Lord Mohammed : 'Velly velly sorry but it fell from my pocket when I was on my way to give it to them.'
Lord Lamaricus : 'Whaaaat? You done jacked da money ya muddafucken Paki hood rat!'
Sound of gunfire erupts. All present dive under the Great Table.
Scene closes.
Americans: Don't vote. Don't legitimise the system.
To my mind Ronald Reagan was an amiable dunce, but how can a country that elected him have Obama tied in the polls with Mitt Romney? The answer is: It's not the same country. The America of Reagan was destroyed. And it was destroyed primarily by federal judges.
As this graphic shows, there's not a dime of difference between the candidates. (I can't remember where I got the graphic...apologies to the developer).
The Permanent Government rules no matter who wins. Here's what a former New York Mayor, John F. Hylan, said, all the way back in 1925:
"The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation. At the head is a small group of banking houses generally referred to as 'international bankers.' This little coterie… run our government for their own selfish ends. It operates under cover of a self-created screen, seizes our executive officers, legislative bodies, schools, courts, newspapers and every agency created for the public protection."
Americans: Don't vote. Don't legitimise the system. If voting meant anything it'd be banned.
(PS: Secretly I'd like Obama to lose for the singular joy of seeing the First Ho's monstrous butt kicked off her throne.)

Where is all this going?
A new Emma West is discovered and a grateful MSM and police force duly storm into action, hoping to apprehend another master criminal like this guy. Meanwhile the insanity that I referred to here and several other occasions goes on unabated, week after week. The latest is the contretemp over referee Mark Clattenberg, Manchester United's best ever midfielder, who's been accused of saying some rude things to some of Chelsea's melanin-enhanced prima donnas.
I wonder where all of this will end. Surely be to God on high the ordinary man in the street can see that this is insanity? What do the country's 'leaders', in whatever arena, politics, sport, business, really think when they witness what's going on? That rude things said in the heat of the moment on a playing pitch assume national importance and end up in the law courts. Is anyone sitting back asking if the whole world has gone mad? Do they not identify the giant Orwellian cocoon of lies built around their lives.....and ours? Do they ask themselves why does the groundless accusation of racism always work? Do they ask how it transforms prominent, accomplished men and women into compliant lickspittles and toadies, willing to throw their own principles or people under the bus in order to appease their persecutors?
Or has this become this the new normal? Bear in mind that Britain has already been radically transformed in less than two generations and there's been virtually no complaint. Does the ordinary person just get on with his life as best he can, accepting that this is just the way things are. Maybe he doesn't even realise that things used to be so different. Or are the fully fledged inmates of the Matrix?

A: When you add an element to a Map, a List or a Set, the original object is added, no copy is created, so if you modify it, it is modified within the collection. Simple example:
class Foo {
  public int bar;
}

using that simple class in another piece of code...
List<Foo> myList= new ArrayList<>();

Foo f= new Foo(); //we create a Foo object, and f is a variable that references it
f.bar=9;
myList.add(f);  //we add the object to the list

So now we have two references to this object: f and myList.get(0). If you do:
f.bar=15;

then
System.out.println(myList.get(0))

will show 15 in your screen.
In your code you are reusing the same object. Instead calling clear(), create a new object:
odata = new ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>>();

In sum: you can reuse a variable, but in that case you cannot reuse the referenced object.

A: You have successfully added your hashmap to your list. And the count shows 15 as well. The only problem is, you are not being able to either store correctly on hash map or display correctly

G7 nations must donate Covid vax now or risk wasting: UNICEF
Millions of Covid vaccines could be wasted if rich countries send large amounts of leftover doses to poorer nations in one go. (Photo: IANS)
New Delhi, June 8 (IANS) Millions of Covid vaccines could be wasted if rich countries send large amounts of leftover doses to poorer nations in one go, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) warned on Tuesday.
The organisation said a steady supply is needed throughout the year as the poor countries do not have resources to use them all at once, the BBC reported.
UNICEF's vaccine lead Lily Caprani told BBC Newsnight that countries needed to vaccinate their own populations at the same time as the rest of the world.
"At some point, no doubt, we will need to vaccinate under-18s. But the priority at this moment has to be making sure that all of the vulnerable and priority groups around the world get vaccines.
"So we're saying countries like the UK and the G7 need to donate their doses to those low income countries now, while still vaccinating their populations at home," Caprani said.
UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors Priyanka Chopra Jonas, David Beckham, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, Whoopi Goldberg, Angelique Kidjo and Liam Neeson have joined an extraordinary call by 28 high-profile UNICEF Ambassadors and Supporters demanding that G7 leaders commit to donating doses of Covid-19 vaccines to poorer countries now.
The open letter was published on Tuesday ahead of the three-day G7 Leaders' Summit (June 11-13) in Cornwall, the UK.
COVAX, the global initiative supporting poorer countries in gaining access to vaccines, is facing a shortfall of 190 million doses.
The letter urges the G7 leaders — the UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the US — to commit to sharing a minimum of 20 per cent of Covid-19 vaccine dose supply between June and August, which would provide more than 150 million doses to COVAX.
"The world has spent a year and a half battling the Covid-19 pandemic, but the virus is still spreading in many countries and producing new variants with the potential to put us all back where we started," the letter read.
"This means more school closures, more healthcare disruptions, and greater economic fallout — threatening the futures of families and children everywhere," it read.

From senior photos to graduation parties to the big day itself, spring is a time of celebration for graduates and their families across the country. After all of the papers have been written, tests have been submitted, and college acceptance letters have arrived, grait's time for all of us to reward our graduates for their hard work and celebrate.
While some friends and family members are able to attend graduation, obstacles like limited ticket numbers, time, and distance often stands in the way. Sharing cherished moments from graduation with those who cannot physically attend is a way to share memories with those we love. Too often, this can be overwhelming, but Share Your Photos can help you streamline the process. Let us help you plan your celebration and share it as well!
HERE'S HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR CHILD'S GRADUATION SEASON!
One fun way to commemorate your child's last year in high school is taking senior pictures. These are not only precious for parents, but it helps the graduate celebrate their accomplishment and these are photos they will cherish forever. Now that they've made it to the end of their high school career, it is time to celebrate and prepare for the next phase of life!
The graduates worked hard for four years, and it's time to celebrate them and all they've accomplished in high school. Using senior pictures on graduation party invitations and graduation announcements is a common way for seniors to share their memories. Family and friends love receiving these invitations and photos!
We all remember the moment your child opened the mailbox to see their college acceptance letter or received the news that they've landed their first job. Remind your graduate that they have so much in store and should look forward to what the future holds, but to always remember the memories they've made in high school. As a parent, you will be their biggest supporter in this next phase of life!
You've waited so long for this day, and your not-so-little-anymore child is finally graduating! Even though all the planning and preparation may be hectic, just live in the moment and enjoy the day. Your graduate has worked hard to get there, and everything they've put into school so far is paying off! Graduation day is a time to sit back, relax, and make more memories together.
All the festivities leading up to graduation – the senior parties, the ceremonies, commencement itself – are all moments you will want to cherish forever. Between your family, friends, and your children's friends, there are millions of photos that need to be shared with one another. Texting and emailing all these files would be such a pain, and that's where the Share Your Photos App makes it incredibly easy to share all the graduation photos from each person's perspective.
How do I get started? Download the free app on your iPhone here or Android here, and create an account. Don't have a smartphone? Just create an account on your computer here. Next, create an event name and invite others to join! From there, you will be able to upload all your favorite photos and share with family and friends no matter where they are.
