France Deports Muslim Freaks

Wednesday, 13 February 2013 17:11 GFP Columnist - Basil Venitis

'...French authorities have expelled numerous freakish imams in recent years for hate speech against the Republic and Graecoroman values and preaching antioccidental sentiments. Franklin Roosevelt observed that wherever the Muslims have had a complete sway, wherever citizens have been unable to resist them by the sword, civility has ultimately disappeared. ...'

Hollande deports a number of freakish imams to tackle the terrorism of caliphate. Caliphate is the system of government established in Islam and represents the leader's unity of the Muslim Ummah community. It is an aristocratic theocracy, where the Caliph and other officials are representatives of the people and of Islam and must govern according to Sharia. Now Occident has been hoodwinked to support a global terrorist caliphate by encouraging Islamist rebels!

Al-Qaeda has as one of its clearly stated goals the re-establishment of the caliphate. Ayman al-Zawahiri seeks to restore the caliphate, which had formally ended in 1924 following the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. Zawahiri believes that once the caliphate is re-established, Egypt would become a rallying point for the rest of the Islamic world, leading the jihad against Occident.

Freedom Brings People Together

'... two powerful human emotions have to be overcome. Number one is envy which leads to hate and class warfare. Number two is intolerance which leads to bigoted and judgmental policies. These emotions must be replaced with a much better understanding of love, compassion, tolerance...'

Ron Paul, a frequent reader of venitism.blogspot.com, muses what a wonderful world it would be if everyone accepted the simple moral premise of rejecting all acts of aggression. The retort to such a suggestion is always: it's too simplistic, too idealistic, impractical, naive, utopian, dangerous, and unrealistic to strive for such an ideal. The answer to that is that for thousands of years the acceptance of government force, to rule over the people, at the sacrifice of liberty, was considered moral and the only available option for achieving peace and prosperity.

What could be more utopian than that myth, considering the results especially looking at the state sponsored killing, by nearly every government during the 20th Century, estimated to be in the hundreds of millions. It's time to reconsider this grant of authority to the state. No good has ever come from granting monopoly power to the state to use aggression against the people to arbitrarily mold human behavior. Such power, when left unchecked, becomes the seed of an ugly tyranny. This method of governance has been adequately tested, and the results are in: reality dictates we try liberty.

Athletic Competition of Dopes

Lance Armstrong confessing about doping on Oprah Show.

Infamous cyclist Lance Armstrong ended years of lies on Thursday. He finally confessed to Oprah Winfrey that he was doping on a consistent way. Armstrong's confession comes just months after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) released a detailed report describing him as the ringmaster of the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen.

We all know what happens at Olympics, an international competition of steroids, not athletes. People feel well during the games, but feel miserable after the games when they find out Olympics cost them ten times more than projected, and most of it went to bribe kleptocrats!

A poll on my website shows 60% of people consider athletic competitions not really competitions of athletes, but of pharmaceutical companies and bribes! Every year, new untraceable dopes show up, which bring gold medals.

Muslims Destroy Christian Property!

Saturday, 08 December 2012 00:00 GFP Columnist - Basil Venitis

'...The Koran was made up by Muhammad as it suited his opportunistic goals for power, money, and sex....'

Islam is a dangerous ideology, not a religion. Islam fails four major tests that religions should fulfill: Adherence to a religion must be a personal choice; no religion should demand that those who leave it be killed; a religion must never mandate the subjugation of those who do not belong to it; a religion must be in accord with basic human rights.

Freakish Muslims came out of mosques with hammers and destroyed a social services building belonging to the Coptic Church while chanting Islamic slogans. Security forces conveniently arrived after the building was completely razed. The Christian social services building in the village of Fanous, Tamia district in Fayoum province, 130 kilometers south west of Cairo, had all the necessary government permits; it had a reception hall on the first floor and a kindergarten on the second.

Mosques in surrounding villages called on their microphones this afternoon on Muslims to go and help their Muslim brethrens in the village of Fanous to destroy a Christian building. Ten thousand freakish Muslims took part in demolishing the Christian property with their hammers, while shouting Allahu Akbar! No one was arrested, not even the freakish imams who called on Muslims to demolish the building, even though their calls fall under the crime of enticement to violence.

Internet is the New Frontier of Freedom

Tuesday, 23 October 2012 00:00 GFP Columnist - Basil Venitis

'...Free speech, media, and information flows increasingly ignore and elude physical frontiers or national boundaries. Many governments fearful of this lack of control, are trying hard to restore or fortify barriers to trace, block, target, and censor those who champion the truth....'

It's ironic and funny for Fourth Reich to criticize foreign countries, when its member country Greece persecutes dissident bloggers, violates human rights, and applies kangaroo justice. Fourth Reich should rein in Graecokleptocrats and kangaroo judges first before accusing foreign kleptocrats of misconduct. Clean your own house first, before opening your mouth about the dirt in other houses. Neelie Kroes says the European Union is not just a common market; and not just a guardian of peace. It is a place of fundamental rights: rights that we treasure, protect and assure for our citizens.

Kroes points out the internet is not just a technology; and not just a space for business opportunities. The internet is the new frontier of freedom and a new tool to exercise this freedom. The right to self-expression is safeguarded and championed by a free media. Because a free media guarantees a way to challenge authority and expose abuse of power; it ensures awareness and tolerance for other views; it safeguards liberty and human rights. In that respect, it's clear that journalists, bloggers, activists and human rights defenders are an instrument of democracy. Holding up a torch to reveal acts of despotism.
