Illegal Attacks

So what the fuck is this UK
Gunnin' with this US of A
In Iraq and Iran and in Afghanistan

Does not a day go by
Without the Israeli Air Force
Fail to drop its bombs from the sky ?

How many mothers to cry ?
How many sons have to die ?
How many missions left to fly over Palestine ?
'Cause as a matter of fact
It's a pact, it's an act
These are illegal attacks
So bring the soldiers back
These are illegal attacks
It's contracts for contacts
I'm singing concrete facts
So bring the soldiers back

What mean ya that you beat my people ?
What mean ya that you beat my people ?
And grind the faces of the poor

So tell me just how come were the Taliban
Sat burning incense in Texas
Roaming around in a Lexus
Sittin' on six billion oil drums
Down with the Dow Jones, up on the NASDAQ
Pushed into the war zones

It's a commercial crusade
'Cause all the oil men get paid
And only so many soldiers come home
It's a commando crusade
A military charade
And only so many soldiers come home

Soldiers, soldiers come home
Soldiers come home

Through all the blood and sweat
Nobody can forget
It ain't the size of the dog in the fight
It's the size of the fight in the dog on the day or the night
There's no time to reflect
On the threat, the situation, the bark nor the bite
These are commercial crusades
'Cos all the oil men get paid
These are commando crusades
Commando tactical rape
And from the streets of New York and Baghdad to Tehran and Tel Aviv
Bring forth the prophets of the Lord
From dirty bastards fillin' pockets
With the profits of greed

These are commercial crusades
Commando tactical raids
Playin' military charades to get paid

And who got the devils ?
And who got the Lords ?
Build yourself a mountain
Drink up in the fountain
Soldiers come home

What mean ya that you beat my people
What mean ya that you beat my people
And grind the faces of the poor

Top row: Ian Brown voices his opposition to the Iraq War. The UK and USA had blood on their hands from the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.
Second row: The War in Afghanistan began on 7th October 2001, as the US military's Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) was launched, along with the British military, in response to 9/11. The UK has, since 2002, led its own military operation, Operation Herrick, as part of the same war in Afghanistan. The character of the war evolved from a violent struggle against Al-Qaeda and its Taliban supporters, to a complex counterinsurgency effort. In this photo, soldiers with the 101st Division Special Troops Battalion, 101st Airborne Division watch as two Chinook helicopters fly in to take them back to Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, November 2008. The Soldiers searched a small village in the valley below for IED making materials and facilities.
Third row (left): U.S. President George W. Bush attempts, without success, to persuade French President Jacques Chirac on a military course of action.
Third row (right): Bush had no such problem gaining the support of UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. Post 9/11, Bush and Blair introduced rafts of new security legislation in the 'War on Terror'.
Fourth row: United States Secretary of State Colin Powell holding a model vial of anthrax while giving a presentation to the United Nations Security Council. Prior to the war, the governments of the United States and United Kingdom claimed that Iraq's alleged possession of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) posed a threat to their security, and that of their coalition allies. These claims were later proven to be false.
Fifth row: The allies employ Shock and Awe in the bombing of Baghdad. Limited bombing began on 19th March 2003 as United States forces unsuccessfully attempted to kill Saddam Hussein. Attacks continued against a small number of targets until 21st March when, at 1700 UTC, the main bombing campaign of the US and their allies began. Its forces launched approximately 1700 air sorties (504 using cruise missiles). Coalition ground forces had begun a 'running start' offensive towards Baghdad on the previous day. Coalition ground forces seized Baghdad on 5th April, and the United States declared victory on 14th April 2003.
Sixth and seventh rows: The statue of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is toppled in Firdos Square, 9th April 2003.
Eighth and ninth rows: Images of torture and humiliation of prisoners in Abu Ghraib by military police personnel of the United States Army. US Army Private Lynndie England, seen here holding a leash attached to a prisoner collapsed on the floor, was convicted by a US Army court martial for abusing prison detainees.
Tenth row: 18th January 2005 - Samar Hassan, 5, screaming and splattered in blood, moments after her parents are killed; US soldiers fired on their car when it failed to stop at a checkpoint in Tal Afar, Iraq. Samar's brother was sick, and the family - all five children huddled in the back of the car - were on their way home from the hospital.
Eleventh row: An Iraqi woman and child look on as U.S. Army Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment, 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team search the courtyard of their house during a cordon and search in Ameriyah, Iraq, August 2007.
Twelfth row: The British capital was targeted in the 7th July 2005 London bombings (often referred to as 7/7). These were a series of coordinated suicide attacks on London's public transport system during the morning rush hour. The bombings were carried out by four Muslim men, three of British Pakistani and one of British Jamaican descent. At 08:50, three bombs exploded within fifty seconds of each other on three London Underground trains, a fourth exploding an hour later at 09:47 on a double-decker bus in Tavistock Square (left). The explosions appear to have been caused by home-made organic peroxide-based devices, packed into rucksacks and detonated by the bombers themselves, all four of whom died. 52 other people were killed and around 700 were injured. The masked face of Davina Turrell (right), being helped to safety near Edgware Road, became the defining image of the London bombings.
Thirteenth row: Smoke rises after the Israeli Air Force strikes tunnels linking southern Gaza to Egypt, in the border Gaza Strip town of Rafah, February 2009. Israel routinely targets the tunnels under the Gaza-Egypt border, which it says are being used by Gaza's Hamas leadership to smuggle weapons into the Palestinian territory. Palestinians claim that the tunnels are necessary for the transportation of basic food supplies that are not available in Gaza, because of Israel's closure of its border crossings and seaports. Around the mid-noughties, Ian could often be heard in the press vowing never to perform in Israel ("Palestine is the biggest open-air prison in the world", the singer commented in February 2006). In May 2008, such highfalutin talk was soon toned down when the singer was booked in to perform at the Israel Trade Fairs & Convention Centre, Tel Aviv (the gig was eventually moved to Hangar 11 in the same city). Curiously, the recently released Illegal Attacks was nowhere to be found in the singer's setlist. Now why might that have been ? Cat got your tongue ? All very well prancing around in the comfort of a studio brandishing that megaphone like Jesse James, but it seems you got more than a little gun-shy here.
Fourteenth row (left): Anti-war protesters (including one Ian Brown) gather in front of Westminster and in Hyde Park in 2003. Beginning in 2002, and continuing after the 2003 invasion of Iraq, protests against the Iraq war were held in many cities worldwide, often coordinated to occur simultaneously around the world. The biggest series of demonstrations came on 15th February 2003. According to the French academic Dominique Reynié, between 3rd January and 12th April 2003, 36 million people across the globe took part in almost 3,000 protests against the Iraq war. Europe saw the biggest mobilization of protesters, including a rally of 3 million people in Rome, and 1 million in London.
Fourteenth row (right): Brian Haw, seen here with Tony Benn, has lived in a peace camp in London's Parliament Square since 2001, becoming a figurehead for the anti-war movement in England. Police mounted a night-time operation to dismantle his display on 23rd May 2006.
Fifteenth row: In January 2007, Tate Britain unveiled 'State Britain', a major art commission by Mark Wallinger. This was a recreation of the entirety of Brian's display, just before it was raided by police. You know, some of those placards wouldn't look out of place outside a Planned Barrenhood abortion mill...
Sixteenth row: In October 2007, Ian Brown added his signature to a 'Stop the Iraq War' petition, presented to UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
Bottom row: Six years after the invasion of Iraq, anti-war demonstrators stage a rally in New York (19th March 2009). You know, those placards wouldn't look out of place outside a Planned Barrenhood slaughterhouse...

Trashbat is not:
George Bush - take a smack in the mush
You're the President Evil
The Resident Weasel
The Axis of Diesel
Fuck Enron !
Fuck Enron !
Fuck Enron !
Coz it's fuckin' wrong !!!


(Nathan Barley, Episode 2)

Illegal Attacks, featuring the eternally unhinged Sinead O'Connor (she of the 'Sharing Jerusalem: Two Capitals for Two States' debacle of 1997) as guest agitator, was Ian's most explicit protest song to date. The opening notes of the song are plucked softly in arpeggios, which are juxtaposed with a confrontational opening line. The song then pulses with an ominous, grinding cello, and culminates with a Taliban-touting Ian, via a series of clumsy couplets (Sesame Street meets the crypto-Marxists), calling for the return of British soldiers to their homeland. Skinhead O'Connor in a latter-day prophet Isaiah role*, lecturing about a massacre of the innocents ? Good lord, where do you even begin with that one. All human beings are endowed with an inalienable right to life. Sinead O'Connor advocates the war against the preborn, the slaughter and pulverization of innocent babies in the womb. These are victims of the Sacrament of the Demonic, and this institutionalised barbarism at the hands of contract killers is the most heinous evil in the world today. This is a new order of barbarians. The human mind cannot imagine an 'illegal attack' of greater depravity than this transgression of God's law. Even the animals will try to protect their young at the risk of their own lives. The Left eats its own. Cooperating in a holocaust on a global scale, the abortionist is the quintessential Nazi, and boy do we need another Nuremberg. Evil destroys innocence. There is gravity of sin, and there are gradations of malice. The more helpless the victim, the more hideous the assault. What leftards Brown and O'Connor, a couple of self-styled dispensers of peace, fail to grasp is that peace is the tranquillity of order (Saint Augustine, The City of God). Peace is not the absence of war, but the living presence of God. Before kingdoms change, men must change. Men must look for the peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ - Pax Christi in Regno Christi. Peace I leave you, my peace I give you. Our Lord gives the peace which the world cannot give, the interior peace of soul. Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called children of God. These sons of God are likened to the Son of God who, by His redemption, wrought peace between God and man. If man is not at peace with the Prince of Peace, then earth itself cannot be at peace. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will.** A world at prayer is a world at peace. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. If baby butcher advocate Sinead O'Connor (a walking episode of EastEnders with more issues than Time and Newsweek combined) ever becomes the moral barometer for society, then heaven help us all.*** You can set your calendar by Sinead O'Connor's public meltdowns.****

Here is an online blog extract from someone with their feet on the ground:

In the great tradition of artists such as Roger Waters and Erykah Badu, once again Israeli producers will be inviting a musician who will come perform in Israel, take our money and then ignorantly criticize our policies (granted, some of our policies suck, but we don't need no education from performers who know close to nothing about the reality on the ground).

Former Stone Roses lead singer Ian Brown who once took a vow never to perform in Israel, because "he doesn't agree with the government's regime", will be coming for one performance at the end of May.

'Illegal Attacks' features quite silly lyrics which could have been written by an undergraduate poetry major with an anti-war fetish at a bad liberal college. Whatever happened to metaphors and allusions in tunes ? I will not be attending Ian Brown's show. If the lyrics above even remotely represent his current body of work, I think I'd find listening to the sounds of my own bowel movements more appealing.

Harry Rubenstein

It's all about the moolah, innit ? Imagining himself to be the indie Salman Rushdie, here is Ian in February 2006, talking as if some bounty has just been placed on his head by the Israeli powers that be:

"I have a friend over there called Nimrod Lev who is an Israeli pop star. He has told me it isn't safe for me to go over there. Nimrod told me that it isn't safe to be in a club, in a city or in the country."

Fear not, Ian Brown fans ! Despite such portent of doom from Agent Nimrod, Manchester's martyr-in-waiting was able to enter and exit Israel with not a hair on his head harmed. Hurrah ! Ian is increasingly prone to portraying himself as some sort of freewheeling maverick who doesn't play by the rules and flips the bird at authority. Here is the aspiring Trot soapboxing in 2007, touting himself as some firebrand anti-war, anti-establishment nucleus, sanctimoniously reprimanding the youth for falling asleep at their post:

"You're supposed to get mellower, aren't you, as you get older, but I'm still left wing of anarchist, me. I've not heard anyone else put the war down, I've yet to meet anyone who supports the war. Why is it there's no 21 year old kids out there ranting and raving about the war ?"

Take that, The Man ! I'm calling bullshit on this one. You've yet to meet anyone who is for or against the war ? Where the fuck are you living ? Switzerland ? By the time Illegal Attacks hit the shelves, the Iraq War was over four years in the running, in which time, everyone and their French poodle (Shoot the Dog !) had opposed it. First out of the trenches my arse. Pope John Paul II was on the case long before this pair of johnny-come-latelys set foot in the studio. Next thing you know, they'll be covering Free Nelson Mandela ! Left wing of anarchist ? Your cranium is firmly lodged somewhere north of Wiggo's sphincter. Ian Brown seems to be a man exceedingly interested in posterity, for he uses this very same 'I haven't heard anyone else speak out about ________' template for global warming, when doing the rounds with the press in 2009. From war on terror to a war on weather, note the dovetailing of overwrought anti-capitalist rhetoric here. See ye not the beauty of creation ? Hear ye not the cries of the earth and the poor ? Explaining why he covered In The Year 2525, the singer gears up for an eco-catastrophic-Marxist screed: "I wanted to write a song about global warming 'cos I've not heard anyone sing a proper song about global warming or the effect that it’s going to have being the end and everything." There's another substitute morality canard. Man's first environment is the womb. Those hazardous fumes perpetually blowing out of your Lexus can't be good for the environment. These eco-warrior tendencies were evident as early as May 1995 (Melody Maker), with Ian stating that the Roses would gladly play a gig for Greenpeace.

The Population Bomb is a Rockefeller baby. The natural evolution of the early eugenics programme, global warming alarmism is a government power grab via coercive population reduction. Communism is a tyranny of power seekers whose most powerful weapon is the big lie. In the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility. This populist eco-agenda is a poverty reduction programme hiding a population control motive; their means of eradicating poverty is to eradicate the poor. Excess population is tolerated only as expendable war material. From its inception in 1913, the Rockefeller Foundation was at the vanguard of the birth control movement. 'Sustainable Development' is the environmental war slogan of population control advocates (abortion mongers), chief among them, the United Nations. "What is needed today", stated Al Gore in November 2005, "is a 'global Marshall Plan' to save the world's environment". The environmental movement is now the strongest force at work in preventing development in the developing countries. The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it. Most of all, they war for peace.

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed - and hence clamorous to be led to safety - by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
H.L. Mencken, 1921

"As long as a child breathes the poisoned air of nationalism, education in world-mindedness can produce only precarious results. As we have pointed out, it is frequently the family that infects the child with extreme nationalism. The school should, therefore, use the means described earlier to combat family attitudes that favour jingoism [nationalism]…. We shall presently recognize in nationalism the major obstacle to development of world-mindedness. We are at the beginning of a long process of breaking down the walls of national sovereignty. UNESCO must be the pioneer."
William Benton, Assistant U.S. Secretary of State at UNESCO, 1946

"The weather will be modified and used as a weapon of war to create drought or famine."
Dr. Richard Day (former national medical director of the Rockefeller-sponsored abortion empire, Planned Parenthood), 1969

"If you're going to curb population, it's extremely important not to have it done by the dammed Yankees, but by the UN. Because the thing is, then it's not considered genocide. If the United States goes to the black man or the yellow man and says slow down your reproductive rate, we're immediately suspected of having ulterior motives to keep the white man dominant in the world. If you can send in a colorful UN force, you've got much better leverage."
Alan Guttmacher (former president of Planned Parenthood and former Vice President of the American Eugenics Society), 1970

"The common enemy of humanity is Man. In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like, would fit the bill. ... All these dangers are caused by human intervention in natural processes, and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy then is humanity itself."
Club of Rome (Environmental consultants to the UN, founded: 1968), The First Global Revolution, 1990, p. 75

"If the religions are to play a constructive role as members of the emerging new world community, they too must reconstruct their worldviews and ethics in the light of ecological thinking."
Steven C. Rockefeller, 1997

"Third World nations are producing too many children too fast ... [It] is time to ignore the controversy over family planning and cut out-of-control population growth ... [and recognize abortion as part of the solution to this problem]."
U.S. Vice President Al Gore, 1997

"The climate crisis is not a political issue; it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity. It is also our greatest opportunity to lift global consciousness to a higher level."
Al Gore, Club of Rome member, on receipt of his 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, which he shared with a UN panel on climate change. Suddenly the CVs of many a climate activist were padded with references to winning a Nobel Prize on the grounds that they had contributed to the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) reports. The circle is now complete.

In order for global governance to reign, the cry for peace must be universal. Some of you probably think the churches won't stand for this. The churches will help us. By adopting the language of "responsible parenthood" (a loaded phrase if ever there was one) and referring to overpopulation as "this danger", Pope Paul VI legitimized the myth with his long-delayed 1968 encyclical, Humanae Vitae. In effect, this text did nothing but contribute to the very problems that it purported to forestall. Why appoint a commission to call into question a doctrine that was already part of the universal ordinary magisterium ?

 

Top: Walt Kelly lends his artistic skills for indoctrination on the first (1970, left) and second (1971, right) annual observance of Earth Day (April 22).
Bottom: Neo-Malthusian Dr. Paul Ehrlich stoking civil disobedience, July 1971. This cockroach pushed the ridiculous theory that man would soon share the fate of the dinosaur in an environmental holocaust. Man-made pollution would blanket the sky with a dark cloud, thus blocking out the vital role of the sun in supporting life on Earth. This doomsday scenario was a stalking horse for the now-rampant depopulation agenda, which can never be given credibility by the one true Church. The entire world population could fit into a land mass the size of Texas (100 square metres per person). Global cooling was all the rage at this time, with headlines such as: "U.S. Scientist Sees New Ice Age Coming." (Washington Post, 9th July 1971); "Another Ice Age ?" (Time, 24th June 1974); "The Cooling World." (Newsweek, 28th April 1975); "Scientists Ask Why World Climate Is Changing: Major Cooling May Be Ahead." (New York Times, 21st May 1975). Concurrently, a new avalanche of full-page spreads warned war-weary newspaper readers that "The Population Bomb Threatens the Peace of the World"; that "Hungry Nations Imperil the Peace of the World"; that "Whatever your cause, it's a lost cause unless we control population." Multiform pollution constitutes a threat that can be dealt with only through social organization and political power. The clear implication here, of course, is that humans are pollution. The ecological crisis, in short, is the population crisis. Fertility, it seems, is an environmental issue. The endgame ? A license for mothers to have babies. The conception of a child shall be the gravest of crimes, punishable by death. Be not a cancer on the earth... Ehrlich's shining light in this stark eco-drama was William Vogt, ecologist and author of best-seller, Road to Survival (1948). Vogt was also National Director of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and served as a representative of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources to the United Nations until his death in 1968. Nuff said.

Politicizing morality and moralizing politics. That which is political is now theological, and that which is theological is now political. The Church's focus is, or ought to be, on saving souls, not whales. With the apertura a sinistra of Vatican Council II, the doors to Revolution - ecclesiastically, politically and culturally - were thrown wide open. Since Rome has practically joined the club and continues to provide a platform for the UN, climate change is no longer a mere political issue.  It has been elevated to the level of a de facto new article of Faith. Whatever politically liberal (practically socialist) cause du jour happens to be exciting tree-hugging environ-mentalist zealots to a paroxysm, this earth has a sentence against it already. This earth is going to be consumed by fire - it's just a matter of time. All men then living, every beast upon the land and every fish in the sea will be destroyed in this universal conflagration. The history of mankind ends in judgment. Dies irae, dies illa, solvet saeculum in favilla. Man cannot destroy 'Creation'. It is not within his power. Nor is 'Creation' a wilful entity with doomsday on its mind. The world is what it has been and will remain. Satan is still the prince of it. Evil, in this world, comes from sin. Not from income disparity or anthropogenic climate change. Communism never really went away. It just has a new name these days - Globalism. Geopolitical chicanery to make partners of rivals. New lies for old. After the Berlin Wall came down, the communist movement, the global leftist movement, was left in a quandary. Having lost the economic argument, they needed somewhere else to go, and global warming has become the great proxy issue. Promoting a god of environmental socialism, this redistributive racket enables them to achieve many of the same aims as before but under a cloak of green righteousness. The utopian environmentalists are at root religiously pantheistic. Green on the outside but red on the inside. All at the service of an embryo world government, the 'ecological anxiety' of the Social Justice movement is Communism repackaged for a new age. A green peace is a fabricated conflict resolution on socialist terms, indebted to Lucis Trust. In the name of universal brotherhood and Gaia environmentalism, the UN has enshrined a new paganism - a synthesis of New Ageism, Eastern mysticism, and covert Satanism. The European Union is the new Soviet Union. Freemason and de facto architect of the EU, Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi envisaged the development of a one-world state by progressive regionalization. If we look around us, the Kalergi plan seems to be fully realized. In the campaign to de-Christianise Europe via replacement migration, an open society breeds moral chaos. In this Machiavellian venture, the green movement has a red shield. At the siege of Vienna in 1683, Islam seemed poised to overrun Christian Europe. With this tidal wave of immigration, we are simply in the latest phase of a long-established war. No longer do they sail in vessels of war. Instead, they sail under the guise of refugees. Demography is destiny. Weaponized migration is an ancient tactic of demographic warfare. This is not the demographic of a civilian population displaced by war. This is the demographic of an army. This isn't immigration, this is invasion. He who emigrates in the way of Allah will find in the earth enough room for refuge and plentiful resources. And he who goes forth from his house as a migrant in the way of Allah and His Messenger, and whom death overtakes, his reward becomes incumbent on Allah. The beginning of Islam was the emigration (the Hijrah) of Muhammad from Mecca to Yathrib (later renamed Medina) in 622.

With all-encompassing government control imposing cultural Marxism on the nations via stealth globalism, the Western world is in a battle today between a false morality and an objective morality. Two worldviews competing for predominance. One believes in the sanctity and unique dignity of human life. The other believes in a 'quality of life' ethic. That is, some humans have greater value than others, thus denying the intrinsic dignity of human life. A political order built on feels versus reals. The leitmotif of the Liberal is that there are no enemies to the Left. The Liberal is a fanatic for independence; he extols it to the point of absurdity, in every domain. The Left always subverts its own stated objectives. Furthermore, they are generally insulated from the effects of the changes they push for. See Brown's oh-so-zany Guardian manifesto from September 2007 for a synthesis of idiotic proportions. Motions on the agenda include 'wealth redistribution', permacultures (in his misty-eyed romanticisation of peasant life, this eco-maniac libtard quite literally wants to grow carrots up the side of the Empire State Building), communitarianism and Sharia law. This veritable idiocracy contains two shout-outs for global farting, the first of which is the sweeping claim that "America won't accept that there is global warming...". Al Gore must be on vacation ? I mean, it's not as if the former Vice President of the United States has been handed two Oscars (An Inconvenient Truth, 2006), a Nobel Peace Prize (2007) and a Grammy (2009) for his global warming propaganda, and is quite literally running the show in the form of Live Earth. The eco-guilt-ridden pursuit of "climate justice" is a first-world luxury with no basis in scientific fact. On a false eco-trip, Brown goes on to lament, in true Attenborough style, "Here we are with the polar ice cap melting due to global warming...".

If you get too cold, I'll tax the heat. If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.
Top row: Where I live, the saying goes, "If you don't like the weather, stick around. It'll change." I've seen it change in one day. Hundreds of factors influence global temperature (tilt of the earth's axis, ocean cycles, water vapour, methane, the solar system, the Sun, cloud feedback, volcanic dust...). The idea that CO2 is the tail that wags the dog is simply not sustainable. Temperatures on Earth dance to a cyclic rhythm every hour, every day, every month, every season, every year, and to every beat of the sun-spot and glacial cycles. Every day in Jamaica, a little baby bursts into flames. It's the Sun, stupid. Wake the flock up !
Despite the apocalyptic warnings of Messrs Gore and Brown, the ice caps are not only still standing, but have actually increased in size. An inconvenient truth for Al Gore's Club of Rome mates. Rows two and three are NASA satellite images showing the spread of Arctic sea ice between August 2012 and August 2013.
Fourth row: Circular reasoning at its best. Don't subscribe ? Why then you're on a level with Holocaust deniers. Be not deceived - the issue here is population control. That population explosion. The population bomb. The suppression of those exposing the abortion industry is testament to the fact that the Left are the true Holocaust deniers.
Fifth row: Not the most diverse choice of skin colour here, I must say #whitelivesdontmatter #stopattwo #savetheplanet. Easily explained by the fact that this is the very same testosterone-lacking crew banging the drum for mass immigration of 'refugees'. The frontage of a degenerate, sterile West is falling to Islam by design. The effects of German collective guilt, a gynocentric pride in shame, are rapidly enveloping our nation. With Europe committing demographic suicide, the refugee crisis is the ultimate Trojan horse, capitalizing on a pathological altruistic worldview primed in the empathetic. Be prepared to open up your hearts, wallets and borders, for this guilt trip is a calculated crisis designed to subvert the independence of nations. The globalist attack on national sovereignty is preparing Europe to surrender its heritage and identity; the Great Replacement continues apace. In a climate of normative conformity, weather is now a weapon of influencing public policy, and the biggest casualty in the Cold War on Global Warming are the preborn.
Lies, damned lies, and statistics. The grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down. The revelations of Climategate, when climate scientists were caught cooking the books with fake temperature data (penultimate row) would spark a series of inventive lexicon shifts (bottom row). Same propaganda, different name. What is your sin against creation according to the Church of Climatology ? Breathing. Don't breathe near me - we're running out of oxygen. Of those fortunate enough to make it past the abortuaries, the green language of politicised science is brainwashing our young. Carbon dioxide, a life-giving gas so greatly demonized in our day, constitutes 0.04% of the atmosphere, of which, man produces only a miniscule quantity. This is daylight robbery. A globalist wealth distribution scam of taxes, penalties and subsidies. This carbon con is the reason why you're paying 5p every time someone hands you a plastic bag. As climate scientist Richard Lindzen has stated, "Controlling carbon is a bureaucrat's dream. If you control carbon, you control life." Remember Acid Rain ? We were all gonna have our skin burnt off just going outside in the rain. Ah, the good old days when the sky was only falling when it rained. Each warm, sunny day is now treated as though it were some terrible harbinger of ecological doom. Global Warming is the new Acid Rain. A case in point is a video put out by British climate alarmist organization 10:10, a virtual propaganda arm of the UK government. Pure coercion by terror. Quite literally, cut CO2 or we'll blow up your kids. This shit isn't even subliminal anymore. At first viewing, you would be convinced that this was a spoof of the insanities of environmental extremism. But no, apparently the world is doomed at any level of atmospheric Carbon dioxide beyond 350 parts per million, so get signing up to that eco-fascist Orwellian pledge without delay. That this 'side-splitting' promotion is released in a climate of Islamic suicide bombers blowing up Mr All and Mrs Sundry seems to be totally lost on these fuckers.

...transformed into that place from whence, like the North Wind, terror comes. Environmental manipulation is the ultimate method of covert warfare. Just as the war on terror is a war without end, any war on weather commands unlimited scope of practice. All doom and gloom until the big boom, the revolutionary, subversive mentality changes global scare like you change a car. Whenever one scare is exposed, a new one must necessarily be invented. But the war forever remains the same. In the year 2525, if man is still alive and happens to stumble upon this page, be aware that Ian Brown is talking all manner of shite on both the Iraq War and Global Warming fronts. We have nothing to fear but climate fear itself.

Marvin Gaye's 1971 LP, 'What's Going On', is Ian Brown's idealised template for social and political commentary (he is highly praising of the LP in the 'What a Trip' interview from 22nd November 1989). The album is told from the perspective of a Vietnam War veteran returning to the country he had been fighting for, and seeing nothing but injustice, suffering and hatred. Featuring introspective lyrics about drug abuse, poverty and the Vietnam War, the album was the first to reflect the beginning of a new trend in soul music. The album closes with a reprise to its opening theme, a feature of Ian's third solo LP, Music Of The Spheres; a 30-second instrumental reprise of the opening track, F.E.A.R., brings the 12" to a close.

* Isaiah 3: 15. Another direct lift in the song is Mark Twain's 'dog in the fight' analogy.
** Jerusalem. Jeru/Salem. Jehovah-jireh/Salem. The Lord will provide peace. Jesus Christ is a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek. First, the name Melchizedek means "king of righteousness"; then also, "king of Salem" means "king of peace." (Heb 7: 2; my emphasis). The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for those who cultivate peace. Righteousness and peace have kissed (Psalm 85: 10) and the fruit of that righteousness will be peace (Isa 32: 17). Justice shall march before him and peace shall follow his steps. John came to show you the way of righteousness, going before him and preparing the way for his steps (Psalm 85: 13). The Baptism of Jesus fulfils all righteousness (Matt 3: 15).
*** Into the valley of post-Christian apocalypse we ride. I see the media lauding O'Connor for giving moral advice to an off the rails Miley Cyrus in 2013. That's like Screwtape telling Wormwood to tone it down a bit. The harlot reproves the harlot. Who can bear to listen to this bald-head ? Reprobation is all around us; as the shepherd said of his sheep, let's get the flock out of here.
**** What's that, you say ? A Sinead O'Connor public meltdown ? By Jove, it must be time to put up the Christmas decorations !
