Subject: Millard on Prussian Blue
TWO WHITE GIRLS REFUSE TO GIVE UP THEIR SEATS ON THE BUS OF LIFE
& REFUSE TO DRINK THE KOOL-AID OF EXTINCTION
by H. Millard
Ninety-Two-year-old Rosa Parks--an old dried up leaf whose spring was long ago--fell from the tree of life this week, as all that lives must. Seeing an opportunity for some touchy feely press, a bunch of goofy Great White Father and Great White Mother politicians slobbered all over themselves as they rushed to praise Parks for racial consciousness while they prepared to prop up her lifeless body in the Capitol Rotunda as a PR stunt. These GWFs and GWMs apparently want to send a message that they're not racists. This proves it. Parks' body is the prop. Photo ops with the dead woman, anyone? Maybe haul her body on a bus to set the scene? "Say America, did we mention that Parks is Black, and that she's one of the few people who have ever had their lifeless bodies put on display in the ROTUNDA?"
From all reports, Parks liked being Black and was proud of this fact of her birth. And, no, I didn't intend to write the usual bromidic "this accident of her birth." One's race is not an accident of birth. It is, except in the case of rape, the result of intentional mating decisions made by the parents. Parks was Black because her parents mated wisely and their line continued through her. Naturally, her Blackness is the reason she got the sweet Rotunda deal. Blackness is also the reason why Parks' racial consciousness is praised. It's affirmative action and double standards even in death in post-American America.
Prussian BlueMeanwhile, thirteen-year-old twins Lynx and Lamb Gaede--new vibrant young buds whose spring is now--who make up the singing duo Prussian Blue, were being told by some ratings chasing, numbnut, blender, talk show hosts that it is wrong and hateful for the two girls to like who and what they are. The girls are white, you see. Black and proud and you get praised. White and proud and you get condemned.

Ed. Note: Characteristic Millard column, blaming blenders and "bigots," as though race-mixing were not being promoted by a specific group for specific reasons. The double standard in legitimating Parks's pride and denigrating Prussian Blue's racism comes from jews and jews alone. They control the media, they make their terms and frames and double standards stick. NO WAY OUT BUT THROUGH THE JEW. Whining about race-unspecific blenders won't get the job done.

Plan to create Calif. border police draws 1,000 to protest
SACRAMENTO (AP) — Dueling demonstrations over a plan to create state border police drew nearly 1,000 people to Sacramento on Saturday, and about two dozen police officers, some on horseback, stood between the rival gatherings to maintain order.
[...] "We have a major problem on the border with the illegals," said Robin Gable, 50 of Sacramento, who was one of about 300 who came to hear speeches from politicians and others urging voters to sign ballot petitions. "I'm here to support the Minutemen and our border patrols. You have terrorists, there's drugs coming across. Something has to be done about it."
Not far away on the sidewalk stood Tomas Alejo, 30, of Watsonville, Calif., who was part of a counterprotest of about 700 people. "Our people should be treated with dignity and respect," he said. "We don't believe that people should be dogged if they are from one side of the border or the other. We denounce what the Minutemen are all about."

3 hurricane evacuees accused of killing woman who helped them
By ANNE MARIE KILDAY and MÓNICA GUZMÁN
Copyright 2005 Houston Chronicle
Betty Blair, 77, who was found strangled Friday in her home, was the widow of former Pasadena school board president Robert Blair, who died last spring.
Three hurricane evacuees were charged with capital murder Saturday in the strangulation of Betty Blair, a 77-year-old church leader, mother of three daughters and the widow of former Pasadena school board President Robert "Bob" Blair.
Jimmy Hoang Le, 18, Stephanie Jacobo, 18, both from the Beaumont area, and Roosevelt Smith Jr., 43, of Louisiana, were charged with murdering Blair during a robbery at her Pasadena home Friday.
An active member of St. Pius V Catholic Church, Blair had been helping the three by paying them to do odd jobs and yard work on her property.
"It appears that those that she tried to help were the ones that murdered her," said Pasadena Police Department spokesman Vance Mitchell. The three lived together in an apartment in the 900 block of Randall in Pasadena, Mitchell said.
They were arrested Friday night at the toll booth at Beltway 8 and Westheimer, driving Blair's tan 2000 Buick, in which some of her belongings were found. Jacobo's 10-month-old son also was in the car, and is now with "appropriate relatives," said Gwen Carter, a spokeswoman for the Department of Family and Protective Services.
The car was located through OnStar, an onboard electronic tracking system.
Police said Blair's body was found by the youngest of her three daughters, Melissa Bishop.
Next-door neighbor Lestley Rowell heard "very loud screams" coming from the home. He helped Blair's daughter and called Pasadena police, said his wife, Doris Rowell.
"We are just devastated by this," Rowell said. "My husband is not feeling very well today."
Rowell said her husband had "a bad feeling" earlier in the week when he saw one of the men working in the yard. "He said he was going to talk to Miss Betty about being more careful," Rowell said.
Ed. Note: Her Catholic church teaches that every individual has a soul. It teaches that anyone who looks past that individual soul and treats the individual as a member of a group is evil. The result is the story above. Treating blacks and coloreds as individuals is suicidal for whites. Niggers are best taken as predators, and those who ignore this rule will be eaten.

Mfume: Known by the company he keeps
Whatever did happen to Kweisi Mfume?
You remember Kweisi, that one-time Baltimore youth hell-raiser who sired five children out of wedlock -- but who reformed himself enough to get elected to Congress and then president of the NAACP.
He is currently running for the Democratic nomination for U.S. senator from Maryland.
So what did Kweisi do on Saturday, Oct. 15? Well, he enlisted as one of the speakers at Louis Farrakhan's "Millions More Movement" event -- the 10th anniversary of the (alleged) "Million Man March," which never reached anywhere near that number, then or on the 15th.
The Washington Post reported: "The crowd appeared decidedly smaller than in 1995, when hundreds of thousands showed up."
The "decidedly smaller" is fully understandable, for Farrakhan -- who recurrently announced his various journeys in UFOs -- spoke for 80 minutes (one hour and 20 minutes).
For any Maryland voters who are inclined to cast their vote for Farrakhan-Rally Speaker Mfume, consider the New York Times report of what Farrakhan said in the following warning about Democrats:
"The Democrats have used us and abused us. They look at the black and brown and the poor like this is a plantation, and our Democratic leaders are like the house Negro on the plantation of Democratic policies."
There are no reports at all that in this denunciation of Democrats, Farrakhan in any way exempted Democratic Party candidate Mfume.
Kweisi, who is several miles behind Maryland Rep. Ben Cardin in the polls for U.S. Senate, should have had the good political and moral sense to stay far away from this sizably shrunken anniversary rally led by Screwy Louie, the UFO nut case.
Do any sizable number of Maryland Democrats agree with such Farrakhan statements as:
* "For five days the government did not act (during Hurricane Katrina)." "We charge America with criminal neglect." (What precisely did the Nation of Islam do to help in this hurricane?)
* The Washington Times reported that Farrakhan demanded reparations for slavery.
* "We want more than just an apology for slavery. We want more than a monument. We want America to acknowledge her wickedness." (Does this include all descendants of the 1,400 U.S. black slave-owners? And the descendants of all those black African chiefs and entire black tribes who supplied black slaves to slave ships?)
* Farrakhan accused President Bush of "lying to the American people and raping the Treasury" to pay for the war in Iraq, reported the Times -- which refused to report this event on Page 1 -- and instead, relegated it to Page 16.
The Washington Post reported that the Rev. Willie Wilson, the rally's national executive director, charged that Keith Boykin of the National Black Justice Coalition (a black homosexual group) "straight out lied" in excluding the group from the event.
"There were certain conditions he had to meet and did not." Wilson did not elaborate on the said conditions. But a number of the black sodomists carried signs: "Black by birth, gay by God." That was apparently sufficiently appalling to bring about the sodomy exclusion.
There were no reports that U.S. Senate candidate Mfume did anything to protest this Farrakhan rally exclusion of homosexuals.
How, numerically, did this event compare to the one 10 years ago?
The Washington Times reported: "By 6 p.m., Metro reported 331,000 passengers had used the subway system, compared to a typical Saturday ridership of 220,000. On the day of the march 10 years ago, ridership was more than 804,000."
The Post reported: "As of 6 p.m., there were 331,000 trips on Metro compared with a typical Saturday ridership of 225,000 to 300,000."

NEW CANADIANS? Mexican migrant workers harvest cabbage in Manitoba, where the provincial government is actively courting migrants.
Mexicans head north for a better life. Way north.
By Danna Harman | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
MEXICO CITY -- Born, educated, and married in Mexico City, this young, upper-middle class couple turned to one another one day and said, "Let's leave."
"I could not picture the future or having kids in Mexico," says Maria Carral, a graphic designer. "We were both really tired of the insecurity, the traffic, the economic ups and downs.... We were ready to move on to a better life."
Like so many Mexicans, Maria and her husband chose to move north - but in their case, that meant Canada, not the United States.
For a small but growing number of Mexicans the promised land of "El Norte" means life above the 49th parallel. And while the US is fortifying its borders and tightening entry requirements, Canada is putting out the welcome mat.
"Canada has awakened to Mexico and vice versa," says Mendel Green, an immigration lawyer in Canada. "It's a fit."
To date, the number of Mexicans going to the far north is only a trickle compared with the flood still heading to the US each year. In 1995, just 482 Mexicans became permanent residents of Canada, according to the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration (CIC). By 2004, that number had more than tripled, to 1,648. (By comparison, the US gave 173,664 immigrant visas to Mexicans in 2004.)
"Canada needs immigrants," explains Canada's ambassador to Mexico, Gaëtan Lavertu, flatly. Canada's vast land, small population (32 million), and low birthrate (about 1.61 children per couple), combined with its strong economic growth (the fastest of all the G-8 countries in the past 10 years) explains this attitude. "We have always looked at immigration as a way to bring in new talent and faces. And now the dynamism of our economy requires it," says the ambassador.
It all started with NAFTA
This emerging migratory shift began with the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) a decade ago, and has gathered steam in the the past five years says Mr. Green, whose firm has been in operation for 45 years.
Carral and her husband, Andreas Anhalt, a chef, are part of this group of Mexicans who are looking at Canada in a new light. "When I was little, we thought Canada was for camping. If you wanted to send your kid to summer camp, Canada was the best," says Carral. "Now we are smarter."
"Word is getting out that Canada is a great place," says David Rosenblatt, another Canadian immigration lawyer whose firm runs weekend information seminars in Mexico that are attracting more than 1,000 people a night.
"We need skilled workers, but also blue collar - carpenters, roofers, welders. You name it," says Mr. Rosenblatt.
Green agrees. "We are bringing in senior IT [Information Technology] people and we're bringing in tool and die makers. Mexico produces everything we need. "
According to the Canadian Embassy in Mexico, there are between 40,000 and 50,000 Mexican-born Canadians living legally and permanently in Canada today, while 10,000 come each year to study, and some 200,000 visit every year as tourists.
The biggest growth, however, has been in the number of Mexican temporary workers going to Canada. In 1995, 5,383 Mexicans received temporary visas, the majority under a special seasonal agricultural workers program. By 2004 the number was 11,340 - making it the second largest group of temporary workers in Canada, after US citizens.
But some critics say Canada is being naive and creating a pipeline for illegal immigrants who will stay. The US border patrol, for example, estimates that more than half a million Mexicans enter the US illegally every year.
But Rosenblatt responds that very few Mexicans overstay their visas or come illegally to Canada. "They go back home to their families with a lot of money in their pockets, secure that they can easily return the next year if they please," he says.
Officials at the Mexican Ministry of Labor, which handles the paperwork for this force, agree, saying that 80 percent of the temporary workers come home, get rehired, and return to Canada the following year.
By the end of 2005, Canada expects to have invited in close to 240,000 new foreign immigrants, temporary workers, and refugees from around the world (as a percentage of its population, that is three times what the US currently allows in legally). The number of Mexican immigrants is still relatively low compared with the 36,411 Chinese and 25,569 Indians who moved to Canada last year. But, stresses Ambassador Lavertu, a trend is noticeable.
While most immigrants go to Canada's biggest cities - Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, and Ottawa - some of the provinces are recruiting, too. Thinly populated Manitoba, for example, is bringing in about 4,000 newcomers a year under a program that lets it nominate prospective immigrants even when they don't meet standard federal criteria.
"NAFTA brought us closer. Bilateral trade has tripled, Canadian firms have come to Mexico, education and tourism ties have been tightened ... and now immigration is rising," says Lavertu. "After 1994 [when NAFTA went into effect] we woke up to the Americas, especially to Mexico," he says. "And I think Mexico started looking over at us then, too."
In an effort to encourage immigration from Mexico and elsewhere, the Canadian government has been relaxing and simplifying its immigration rules over the past few years. Mexican tourists enter Canada just by showing a passport, and the process of applying for either permanent or worker status is far easier and usually cheaper than the often subjective process of getting a US visa.
US tourist visa: source of frustration
"Just getting a hearing [for a visa] at the US embassy is a feat," says Javiar Gomez, a Mexico City house painter who waited four months to hear whether or not he could get a tourist visa to visit his brother in Chicago last year. He didn't get the visa. "You have to pay [a nonrefundable $100 fee] before knowing if you will be accepted or not. Its infuriating," he says.
Temporary workers who want to go to Canada fill out one form. There's no charge. The same application to the US, according the US Embassy website requires, among other things:
• "A copy of the I-129 petition and the original approved I-797 petition. "
• "A BANAMEX receipt for the 1,150 pesos (adjusted according to exchange rate) application fee. There can be additional fees for individuals obtaining work visas."
• "Supplementary application form if applicant is male between the ages of 16 and 45."
Any Mexican can apply for an immigrant visa to Canada. But the US rules say that only Mexicans who have family or a sponsoring employer can apply for the same visa.
Three months ago, Carral and Anhalt paid an immigration lawyer about $860 to handle all the paperwork for both of them. They threw a disco farewell party, kissed their parents goodbye, and packed up for Toronto.
"The climate is terrible," admits Carral, reached by phone in Canada. "Our furniture has not yet arrived," adds Anhalt, who is working night shifts in an Italian trattoria and planning to open his own Mexican restaurant someday.
"But we are happy," says Carral. This week she starts a new job.
"It's not like a 'wow' job," she allows. "But it is a beginning, and it's a new home where we feel OK."

Illegal immigration becomes key issue
As Hispanic population rises, the changing demographics are influencing Va. politicians
BY PAUL BRADLEY
TIMES-DISPATCH STAFF WRITER
Oct 28, 2005
ALEXANDRIA -- Less than a decade ago, the combustible politics of illegal immigration were confined to places such as California, Texas and Arizona, all home to large concentrations of Hispanic newcomers.
But those days are gone.
As Virginia's immigrant population continues to surge, illegal immigration has become an issue commanding the attention of the public and policymakers alike this election year. To an extent unprecedented in the Old Dominion, questions around illegal immigration have become part of the race for the Executive Mansion.
"I think it's due to a restiveness with the kinds of rapid demographic changes we are seeing, not only in places like Virginia, but all over the country," said Michael Fix of the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank that tracks immigration trends. "And that restiveness finds its easiest expression when you talk about illegal immigration.
"It really has become a political symbol for a much larger phenomenon."
The debate over illegal immigration has been building for months.
Last summer, several Republican lawmakers in the General Assembly demanded, unsuccessfully, that Gov. Mark R. Warner declare a state of emergency to deal with illegal immigration. In Northern Virginia, Del. David B. Albo, R-Fairfax, has made combating illegal immigration the centerpiece of his re-election campaign.
But nothing crystallized the issue as did the struggle over plans by Herndon officials to set up a town-sanctioned hiring hall where day laborers -- many of them illegal immigrants -- can meet up with potential employers.
Immediately after the Herndon Town Council concluded a marathon emotional public hearing by approving the hiring hall and agreed to spend $150,000 in public money to get it up and running, Republican gubernatorial candidate Jerry W. Kilgore voiced his opposition. The swiftness of his response, according to political analysts, underscored his belief that illegal immigration is a potent political issue.
"It is the biggest issue I hear about other than transportation when I'm traveling in Northern Virginia," Kilgore said, belying public-opinion polls that consistently rank illegal immigration low on the list of issues important to voters.
Kilgore said that using public money to fund such a center would encourage illegal immigration.
"When I was asked about the Herndon situation . . . I was blunt to say that I don't support encouraging illegal activity," he said. "And what I see is that using taxpayer dollars merely encourages more illegal immigration into this country."
As attorney general, Kilgore was at the forefront of efforts to crack down on illegal immigrants, leading efforts to make it more difficult for them to get driver's licenses and receive public benefits.
But some Herndon officials bristled at Kilgore's comments. To them, Kilgore was intruding into an intensely local issue that had consumed town leaders for months. The town-backed hiring hall would replace an informal day-labor site -- a downtown 7-Eleven parking lot where up to 150 men gather each day in search of work -- that all parties agreed had grown into a public nuisance. The status quo, said Mayor Michael O'Reilly, would not do.
Kilgore's political opponents accused him of exploiting an emotional issue as he searched Northern Virginia for votes. Independent candidate H. Russell Potts Jr., while asserting he is a foe of illegal immigration, branded it "the worst kind of demagoguery."
During a Sept. 13 debate, Democratic candidate Timothy M. Kaine called Kilgore's approach a "mean-spirited approach to go after people who are trying to make a living, and go after local officials who are trying to deal with a tough problem."
Kaine said he opposes illegal immigration. But like Potts, he insists the enforcement of immigration laws is a federal responsibility.
"We shouldn't beat up on local officials who are trying to solve local problems," Kaine said.
While Kilgore has proposed asking the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency to provide special training for 50 state troopers whose main job would be to arrest illegal aliens, Kaine opposes the idea. Most police agencies have resisted such a plan, he said, believing it would undermine efforts to fight gangs and strain already overtaxed resources.
Kaine said federal authorities have been unable or unwilling to enforce immigration law, pushing those responsibilities on states and localities.
A recent report by the federal Government Accountability Office makes the same point. Over the past several years, immigration workplace enforcement has dropped dramatically as the federal government has shifted its emphasis to combating terror threats in the post-Sept. 11 era.
Between 1999 and 2003, the last year for which figures are available, the number of work-site arrests by immigration agents fell by 83 percent, dropping from 2,849 arrests to 485, the GAO report found.
Kilgore, Kaine and Potts all favor penalizing employers who hire illegal immigrants, another area in which the federal government is in retreat. The GAO report said the number of employers who are sanctioned for hiring illegal immigrants is plummeting.
According to the report, the change in emphasis means the federal government does not adequately police the kinds of businesses likely to hire illegal aliens, such as hotels, restaurants and construction companies. That has left states and localities to wrestle with the problem themselves.
Moreover, the state has been grappling with a meteoric rise in legal and illegal immigration. According to U.S. census figures, the state was home to 570,279 people born outside of the United States in 2000, an 83 percent increase from 1990.
More than 200,000 illegal immigrants live in Virginia, most of them in the Washington suburbs, according to the Pew Hispanic Center. Many of them work in low-wage, unskilled jobs to which few Americans aspire.
Those kinds of numbers make illegal immigration a ripe issue for political campaigns, Fix said.
"To some extent, it's a protest against rapid demographic change," he said. "And it's also a protest against the government and its failure to secure the borders, especially after Sept. 11."

The Fight Against the Flu
The lethal H5N1 virus was found last week in birds in Europe. So far it has spread between humans in only a few suspected cases, but with no cure in sight, global health officials are nervously watching their borders and preparing for the worst.
One man, Bangorn Benpad, 48, a sometime driver and gardener in the Thai province of Kanchanaburi, who had helped himself on a couple of occasions to chickens from a neighbor's flock. The flock had been dying off, and the chickens he took were close to death anyway. Days after he killed, plucked, grilled and ate the birds, he developed a cough and a fever and visited a local clinic, where they took an X-ray of his lungs and suggested he check himself into a hospital. Instead, he went home, but last Monday his condition worsened, and a new X-ray showed a rapid deterioration in his lungs. By Wednesday he was dead.

Syria accuses US of launching lethal raids over its borders
By Harry de Quetteville in Baghouz
(Filed: 29/10/2005)
Syria has accused the United States of launching lethal military raids into its territory from Iraq, escalating the diplomatic crisis between the two countries as the Bush administration seeks to step up pressure on President Bashar Assad's regime.
Major General Amid Suleiman, a Syrian officer, said that American cross-border attacks into Syria had killed at least two border guards, wounded several more and prompted an official complaint to the American embassy in Damascus.
He made the allegations during an official press tour of Syrian security forces on the Iraqi border, which the US claims is a barely guarded passage into Iraq for hardcore foreign jihadis.
While showing off what he said were beefed-up Syrian border measures designed to blunt those criticisms, including new police stations and checkpoints, Maj Gen Suleiman alleged that his own border forces had come under repeated American attack.
"Incidents have taken place with casualties on my surveillance troops," he said, near the Euphrates river border crossing between Syria and Iraq. "Many US projectiles have landed here. In this area alone, two soldiers and two civilians have been killed by the American attacks."
The charge follows leaks in Washington that the US has already engaged in military raids into Syria and is contemplating launching special forces operations on Syrian soil to eliminate insurgent networks before they reach Iraq.
"No one in the administration has any problem with acting tough on Syria; it is the one thing they all agree on," said Edward Walker, a former US ambassador to Egypt and Israel, who is now head of the Middle East Institute think-tank. "I've heard there have been some cross-border activities, and it certainly makes sense as a warning to Syria that if they don't take care of the problem the US will step up itself."
But he warned that the increased blurring of battle lines between Iraq and Syria could turn a diplomatic stand-off between the two nations, playing out at the UN, into a fully fledged military confrontation. "It could escalate. With Syrian border guards getting shot, it could turn into a major issue."

Subject: Gibson's next film
Mel Gibson turns from Christ's Passion to Mayan blood rites
David Smith
Sunday October 30, 2005
The Observer
His most recent film, featuring flayings and floggings and with dialogue in Aramaic and Latin, was a worldwide hit. Now Mel Gibson has announced his next project will be set against the bloodthirsty backdrop of the Mayan empire - this time in an ancient dialect called Yucatec.
Gibson's The Passion of the Christ last year became the most successful independent film ever made, grossing more than £200 million worldwide. It was also a hit in America's bible belt, which has long felt ignored by Hollywood. The star claims that his new thriller, Apocalypto, will champion another neglected cause, the millions of Maya who still live in Mexico and Central America, many of whom speak one of the Mayan languages.
Anyone who turned nauseous at the flesh-ripping carnage of The Passion should fear for their stomachs again. While Mayan civilisation thrived for nearly 2,000 years before its mysterious collapse, mastering astronomy and the construction of pyramids, it also carried out savage rituals of human sacrifice to appease the gods.
'Hey, this is for kids with strong stomachs,' said Gibson, 49, responding to a question about plans for children's movies during a press conference in the Mexican port city of Veracruz, where the conqueror Hernan Cortes landed in the early 16th century en route to demolishing the Aztec empire.
The devout Roman Catholic said that the plot of Apocalypto - a Greek word meaning 'new beginning' - concerns a Maya Indian family man who 'has to overcome tremendous odds to preserve what he values the most'. The action movie - directed, produced, funded and co-written by, but not starring Gibson - will employ relatively unknown actors along with hundreds of extras speaking the Mayan tongue of Yucatec.
'I'm hoping that by focusing on this civilisation we're able to be introspective about ourselves,' Gibson explained. 'It's set before the Conquest, so we are using mostly indigenous people and actors from Mexico City. There's a lot of mystery to the Mayan culture, but it's just the backdrop to what I'm doing - creating an action adventure of mythic proportions.'
The star has endeared himself to his hosts by offering £560,000 to reconstruction efforts following Hurricane Stan, which devastated Mexico and Central America this month. The Mexican media highlighted images of Gibson meeting with President Vicente Fox. Tourism officials are hoping that the film, due to begin shooting in mid-November, will pump £11m into the economy.

Subject: double standards and "hate" crimes
Strange but true, the Welsh Secretary, Peter Hain, the man who, until he was a member of the British government, was a vocal supporter of Zimbabwe's despotic ruler Mugabe has told the press that Welsh police have more important things to do than examine an alleged race hate crime perpetuated, it is claimed, by none other then the Prime Minister himself.
How odd that the man who helped found the Anti-Nazi League back in the late 80s and prides himself on being a high priest of the quirky cult of multi-culturalism should declare that investigation of a
"hate crime" should not be given more priority by a Welsh constabulary.
Book claim
The actions against Tony Blair stem from a claim made in a book by former Downing Street spin doctor Lance Price. The author said Mr Blair shouted "f-----ng Welsh" in frustration as he watched TV coverage of the 1999 Welsh Assembly results.
Top politically correct cop and North Wales Chief Constable Richard Brunstrom is known to take a hard line against "hate crime" and when the complaint was made the force announced that it would be looked into.
On Monday (24th), the Crown Prosecution Service said: "North Wales police recently consulted the CPS following the preliminary investigation of a complaint concerning remarks by the prime minister.
"The police have been advised by the Chief Crown Prosecutor for North Wales that the preliminary investigation has not revealed any grounds to merit further investigation."
Is it just cos I is Welsh?
In these days of heightened PC awareness by those in positions of power and influence this comes as an extraordinary decision and one has to ask is it because the person who is alleged to have made the remark happens to be the PM, or is it because the group on the receiving end of the alleged outburst of hate happen to be the Welsh?
What, we ask, would be the consequences of the PM, or another government minister shouting "f----ng Blacks" or "f----ng Pakis" as election results came in from Birmingham, Bradford, Leicester or much of inner London where the ethnic vote had forced Labour out of elected office?
Last month, it was discovered that nearly £4,000 had been spent a few years ago to probe "anti-Welsh comments" by Anne Robinson on TV. No action was taken, although Police made a visit to London to see Greg Dyke, the then director general.
Of course the whole business of "hate crime" is totally flawed; a complete aberration of justice and a tool of the multi-culturalists to try and enforce their perverted doctrine on an increasingly hostile electorate which has realised that political correctness has passed its sell-by date.
Yet why is it that certain clearly-defined cultural and/or racial groups such as the Welsh, English, and Scottish be less worthy of protection by "hate laws" than the post-war passive settlers and aggressive invaders of these, our ancient island homelands?

Subject: riots continue in Paris
Paris endured a third night of violence in the worst racial disturbances the French capital has ever seen.
While the British media are playing down the news, the French press reports that a highly tense situation remains in the suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois. The trouble which began on Thursday evening was sparked by the accidental death of two youngsters of North African origin fleeing from Police who wanted to trace the boys in connection with a robbery carried out earlier that evening.
The boys evaded the police officers and hid in an electricity sub-substation where they were accidentally electrocuted. Trouble flared up with hundreds of youths attacking police lines.
On Friday night, trouble again erupted with firefighters being asked to deal with about 40 separate incidents across the suburb where many of the 28,000 residents are immigrants, mainly from North and Central Africa. Unidentified youths had set garbage bins and cars ablaze, and also fired a shot at police. Sixteen people were slightly injured on Friday night.
On Saturday evening gangs of youths torched some 20 cars and threw bottles, rocks and missiles at police. No youths or police were hurt but 15 people were arrested, police and local officials said.
The scale of the violence was unprecedented in France and the police were not equipped or prepared to deal with the rioting.
"Civil war"
At one point on Friday evening an official from police trade union Action Police CFTC called for help from the army to support police officers.
"There's a civil war under way in Clichy-sous-Bois at the moment," Michel Thooris, from Action Police CFTC, said. "My colleagues neither have the equipment nor the practical or theoretical training for street fighting."
On Saturday morning over 300 protestors held a silent march in the suburb where organisers blamed heavy handed policing for the riots and a "lack of respect" by the Republic towards its poorest immigrant communities.
Haven't we heard all that before?

Iran Once Again Shows Its True Colors With President's Call for Israel's Destruction
Update: President Ahmadinejad stood by his comments. He told official Iranian news agency IRNA, "My words were the Iranian nation's words. Westerners are free to comment but their reactions are invalid." In an interview with state-run Iranian television, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki stated: "The comments expressed by the president is the declared and specific policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran. We don't recognize the Zionist regime and don't consider it legitimate.
In Tehran on October 28, nearly a million protesters participated in the annual Al-Quds "Jerusalem" Day demonstrations, which have been held since the 1979 Revolution. As usual, demonstrators chanted "Death to America" and "Death to Israel."

New York, NY, October 27, 2005 … The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today condemned "in the harshest terms" the remarks by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad calling for Israel's destruction, while welcoming the statements of those world leaders who denounced his words.
In an address to 4,000 students at a program titled, "The World Without Zionism," Mr. Ahmadinejad said that "Israel must be wiped off the map." The Iranian president called on Palestinians to take control of the land. "The establishment of a Zionist regime was a move by the world oppressor against the Islamic world," he said. "The skirmishes in the occupied land are part of the war of destiny. The outcome of hundreds of years of war will be defined in Palestinian land."
Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement:
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's remarks about Israel are totally unacceptable and beyond the bounds of civilized society, and must be condemned in the harshest terms. His call for the destruction of the State of Israel highlights the extremism of the Iranian regime and confirms the profound concern the international community has regarding its development of nuclear weapons and support for terrorist organizations.
Unfortunately, Mr. Ahmadinejad's rhetoric is consistent with that of Iran's political and religious leadership since the founding of the Islamic regime in 1979. While we had held out hope that Iran was changing, with reform-minded Iranian leaders attempting to temper the government's virulently anti-Israel attitude, Mr. Ahmadinejad's statements show that Iran continues to make its hatred for Israel and America a national crusade and obsession.
We commend and are heartened by the strong condemnations by the United States, European Union, Canada, Russia, Great Britain, France, and others, making it clear to Iranian diplomats that statements such as President Ahmadinejad's are unacceptable.

ADL Praises Jordan for Efforts to Cancel Anti-Semitic TV Series
New York, NY, October 27, 2005 ... The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today expressed its appreciation to the Jordanian government for its efforts to persuade the Jordan-based satellite network Al-Mamnou to cancel the anti-Semitic television series, Ash-Shatat.
"We thank the Jordanian government for their quick response in working to forestall the broadcast of this incendiary series during the holy month of Ramadan, when it could have had a potential audience of millions," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "Once again, the Jordanian government has demonstrated its commitment to fighting hatred and incitement in the region."
A statement released by the Embassy of Jordan in Washington, D.C. explained that the program "drew concerns for inciting hate" and that "accordingly, the program has been stopped from the private channel as of Tuesday, October 25, 2005." In an October 24 letter to the Foreign Minister of Jordan, Marwan Muashar, ADL expressed its concerns about the series, which had begun airing on the Al-Mamnou network during the month of Ramadan.
Ash-Shatat ("The Diaspora") is a Syrian production that originally aired in October and November 2003 on the Lebanon-based satellite television network Al-Manar, which is owned by the terrorist organization Hezbollah. The 30-part series purports to dramatize the "true history" of the rise of modern Zionism and the establishment of the State of Israel, and depicts historical figures, such as Theodor Herzl, Alfred Dreyfus and others and contains references to the notorious anti-Semitic forgery, "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion."
