Since the May 1st 2004 Enlargement, the European Union has been operating something called a European Neighbourhood Policy.  This is its purpose:-

... we aim to avoid new dividing lines between the enlarged EU and our neighbours to the east and on the southern and eastern shores of the Mediterranean.  We invite these neighbours, on the basis of a mutual commitment to common values, to move beyond existing cooperation to deeper economic and political, cultural and security cooperation - strengthening stability, security and well-being for all concerned.  The new feature is that we go beyond cooperation to include economic integration, for those ready and able.

Economic integration, no less.

The “neighbours” committed to common values with, of course, no dividing lines include Algeria, Azerbaijan, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine Authority, Syria and Tunisia, as well as a clutch of eastern European or at least Christian countries.  Each is allotted an ENP Action Plan that sets out how “cooperation” - meaning mutual manipulation - can be pursued.  To be honest, I cannot see what priceless gifts are to be mined from the Islamically-inclined on the list - nothing yet from some of them because they are still to be inducted into the cooperation process.  But Israel is past all that, of course, and is already making good use of the bureaucratic channels open to it.  And guess what:-

Experts from the European Union and Israel met Thursday in Brussels to exchange experiences on combating racism, xenophobia and anti-Semitism.

The one-day seminar, which took place at the European Commission headquarters, was organized in the framework of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP).

Under the ENP EU-Israel Action Plan endorsed in 2005, the European Union and Israel agreed to work together to combat anti-Semitism as well as racism and xenophobia.

The seminar examined policies and best practice on combating racism in the European Union and in Israel.

It looked at how statistics are collected, how anti-discrimination policies are put in place and how mutual understanding can be fostered.

Sessions were also devoted to fighting racism through education, how penal legislation can be used to treat racism, xenophobia and anti-Semitism as a crime and how to combat hate speech in the media.

The European experts came both from the European Commission and from the Member States of the European Union.

I’m angry.  No point in pretending otherwise.  Today, I listened to a man getting away with treason.  In public and without any attempt to disguise or ameliorate the crime.

Why should he?  Anthony bleedin’ Blair – English-hater, Surface Man, Bilderberg bum-boy – is all for celebrating the destruction of my people and the slow, ineluctable theft of my homeland.  He doesn’t care.  He thinks it’s OK.  He tells himself - and us - that we don’t care either … that we are all progressing together to that happy la-la land where Trevor Phillips’ racist dreams come true.  Or dream singular, to be exact.  For the dream of blacks and Jews and the traitor class is one.  The dream of all the Western nation-haters is one.

Condoms designed to meet international size specifications are too big for many Indian men as their penises fall short of what manufacturers had anticipated, an Indian study has found.

The Indian Council of Medical Research, a leading state-run center, said its initial findings from a two-year study showed 60 percent of men in the financial capital Mumbai had penises about 2.4 cm (one inch) shorter than those condoms catered for.

For a further 30 percent, the difference was at least 5 cm (two inches).

So how does the James Bond of Bangladesh cut such a deadly swathe through blonde California?  Obviously not by stealing the delicious if brunette Lana Wood’s line from Diamonds Are Forever: “Hi, I’m Plenty ... Plenty O’Toole”.

But enough of that.  This is a serious blog.  So, erm ... would Phil Rushton agree that Nature’s dispensation of wedding tackle in downtown Mumbai runs counter to r-K?

There was a surreal moment on BBC 1 when Auntie’s early lunchtime News & Weather slot briefly reported today’s press conference by Super-Christians Norman Kember, James Loney and Harmeet Singh Sooden.

They were gathered in the sight of … who else but the world’s press to plead for the mercy of the court in Baghdad as their abductors prepare to face justice.  Beneath the picture of the three men on my TV a news-text ran horizontally, informing me that: “Iraq hostages forgive their victims”.

Now don’t mock.  This turns out to have been a most fortuitous and accurate mistake.

CNN reports Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee strikes (or maybe I should say “strike breaks”) again:

Gov. Mike Huckabee said Wednesday the nation is being given a chance to make up for past racism by the way it handles the influx of Hispanics.

I wonder how many working blacks would like to kill him?

It never occurs to many of the so-called “leaders” that the phrase “American Union” might have a very different meaning to working blacks.

Historical revisionist forums have been carrying Günter Deckert’s reportage of the Germar Rudolf trial in Mannheim District Court, meaning at this stage the opening statement from Germar himself.  There was a further day of evidence today which, no doubt, will find its way around the internet very shortly.  But at present the Day Three, December 4th reportage is the most recent available.

Germar is impressive, an intellectual of substance and a man of obvious integrity.  That won’t save him.  The nature of his patriotism needs must call forth persecution from the State.

At least let us be aware of the qualities of the man and the manner in which he deploys his argument.  Here is Deckert’s Day Three court report.

As Russia’s fortunes have risen on a tide of oil and gas, he [the Russian president] has become increasingly assertive, even abrasive, in his international dealings.  He recently told startled EU leaders their biggest task was not to lecture Russia on democracy, human rights and energy cooperation but to “safeguard Christianity in Europe”.

From an article by Simon Tisdall in the Guardian.

I like talking to young Marine reservists back from Iraq.  They need to talk to sympathetic people who are there to listen rather than rant about politics.  Its far more informative than the news services.  I shouldn’t provide too many details of my conversations.  I’ll simply convey this bit of ground truth:

Marine reservists are being put at very high degrees of risk by commanding officers who treat them as though they are special forces personnel.  In Fallujah there are posts where the death and casualty rates are very high and the reservists are suffering from abysmal morale.  Normally in situations like this the reservists would be relieved due to their lack of effectiveness and the danger their low morale creates to themselves and the mission.  However, the news of the low morale doesn’t make it up the chain of command—being stopped by officers that may themselves be special forces and not capable of commanding reservists.
