EU bans use of ‘Miss’ and ‘Mrs’ (and sportsmen and statesmen) because it claims they are sexist

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 10:39 AM on 16th March 2009

Using ‘Miss’ and ‘Mrs’ has been banned by leaders of the European Union because they are not considered politically correct.

Brussels bureaucrats have decided the words are sexist and issued new guidelines in its bid to create ‘gender-neutral’ language.

The booklet warns European politicians they must avoid referring to a woman’s marital status.

This also means Madame and Mademoiselle, Frau and Fraulein and Senora and Senorita are banned.

‘Political correctness gone mad’: The European Parliament has banned MEPs from using ‘Miss’ and ‘Mrs’ because it claims they are sexist

Instead of using the standard titles, it is asking MEPs to address women by their names.

And the rules have not stopped there - they also ban MEPs saying sportsmen and statesmen, advising athletes and political leaders should be used instead.

Man-made is also taboo - it should be artificial or synthetic, firemen is disallowed and air hostesses should be called flight attendants.

Headmasters and headmistresses must be heads or head teachers, laymen becomes layperson, and manageress or mayoress should be manager or mayor.

Police officers must be used instead of policeman and policewoman unless the officer’s sex is relevant.

The only problem words that do not fit into the guidelines are waiter and waitress, which means MEPs are at least spared one worry when ordering a coffee.

They have reacted with incredulity to the booklet, which has been sent out by the Secretary General of the European Parliament.

Scottish Tory MEP Struan Stevenson described the guidelines as ‘political correctness gone mad’.

He said: ‘This is frankly ludicrous. We’ve seen the EU institutions try to ban the bagpipes and dictate the shape of bananas, but now they seem determined to tell us which words we are entitled to use in our own language.

‘Gender-neutrality is really the last straw. The Thought Police are now on the rampage in the European Parliament.

‘We will soon be told that the use of the words “man” or “woman” has been banned in case it causes offence to those who consider ‘gender neutrality’ an essential part of life.’

West Midlands Conservative MEP Philip Bradbourn is calling on the Secretary General to reveal who authorised the publication of the booklet and how much it has cost.

He described it as ‘a waste of taxpayers’ money’ and ‘an erosion of the English language as we know it’.

‘I will have no part of it. I will continue to use my own language and expressions, which I have used all my life, and will not be instructed by this institution or anyone else in these matters,’ he said.

‘I shall also expect the many translators who sit in the European parliament to translate accurately the language I use. I find this publication offensive in the extreme.

‘The Parliament, by the publication of this document, is not only bringing itself as an institution into more disrepute than it already suffers, but it is also showing that it has succumbed to the politically correct clap-trap currently in vogue.’

German Chancellor Merkel Calling for Raids on Homes

By Peter Neideck, Dissent Blog

Today, German Chancellor Angela Merkel demanded even tougher gun control measures relating to storage of firearms and ammunition in Germany. With an audacity that defies belief the former East German communist also called for unannounced raids on homes and offices of registered firearm owners. In an interview with the Deutschlandfunk Merkel said: “We must do everything to prevent children’s access to firearms.” As a further consequence of the recent mass shooting in Germany Merkel wants citizens to be more alert and pay particular attention to young people.“ However, Germans Secretary of State Wolfgan Schäuble in an interview with the German State TV station ARD warned against overregulation of already tight firearm laws in Germany.

If Merkel was so concerned about the children, why would she not call for a ban on prescription of antidepressants, such as Prozac or Xanax. All mass shootings, including the latest German tragedy, have been connected with pychotropic drugs. SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are excessively prescribed to children and young people and cause violent and irrational behaviour in people. SSRIs are big business for big Pharma and for the politicians who are sponsored by the pharmaceutical industry. Who are you working for, Frau Merkel?

Germans have no constitutional right to bear arms. Politicians like Merkel are now pressing further their global agenda to making private gun ownership a social taboo worldwide. Politicians and media are pushing for gun control and victim disarmament with slogans such as “More guns -- more ‘gun crime’” and out of Kingdom Britain: “Tough on Knife Crime”. However, such correlation does not exist and facts prove that firearms left in the hands of law abiding citizen prevent crime.

Here are some examples of factoids used by the ruling class to disarm the ruled, factoids that prove that gun ownership in reality increase everybody’s safety.

Globalist rhetoric:

“More guns lead to more ‘gun crime'”
“Tougher restriction on firearm ownership lowers ‘gun crime’”
“Tougher gun control leads to reduction of gun ownership in the population”

The facts:
(Prof. Lott, University of Illinois, More Guns, Less Crime 1998)

States with lower number of firearms have higher murder rates than Texas, where weapon density is highest. States with nearly the same number of private firearms (than in TX). E.g Vermont, have a 20 times lower murder rate.

(CFC 1998)
The notion that tougher access to guns will lower gun related crimes is also easily disproved. Consider this: New York with its gun bans still has one of the highest crime and murder rates. Vermont, with its liberal gun laws, has low crime and murder rates. Vermont citizens own three times as many guns as those in New York State.

It is not only probable but very likely that the recent spurs of mass shootings are coordinated efforts by criminal elements within government to garner public tolerance for the introduction of unconstitutional search and seizure operations by the state and the legislation of draconian laws designed to restrict the freedom of its citizens. Germany has one of the toughest gun control laws in Europe, yet it is the law abiding citizen who is subject to further restrictions and control.

A different paradox is emerging out of Great Britain. After the “Handgun ban” the number of weapons in private possession did not sink as expected. Gun owners switched to those firearms, which were still legal in Britain. At the same time, custom records show an increase of illegal weapons import (pistols, revolvers) into Great Britain. At the same time, numbers of armed robberies in Britain are drastically on the rise. According to the Lott-Study (More Guns, Less Crime), the opposite correlation is correct. In the 40 states, in which carrying a concealed weapon is legal, violent crime is the lowest. Lott proves in his study that numbers of victims of violent crimes are greatly reduced in those states that allow carrying of concealed weapons.

Furthermore, the notion that stricter gun control legislation leads to lower numbers of private gun ownership can easily be disproved. Only law abiding citizens will surrender their weapons thus render themselves defenceless against criminals. For example, Germany with the toughest gun laws has the highest number of illegal gun ownership. Similarly in Britain: Despite the ban of handguns, the number of illegally owned guns is rising.

Of course, every country has a legitimate interest to guarantee its safety and that of its citizens. That is one more reason to recognize the importance of the verifiable connections of gun ownership and crime and investigate the effect of disarmament on the safety of the people. Restrictions for the sake of it are neither legal (Germany, Britain or elsewhere) nor in the best interest of the people.

Calling for Merkel’s Resignation and Arrest

The logical conclusion therefore is that Merkel’s calls for even tougher gun control and her criminal proposal of illegal raids on homes of German citizens is not introduced to protect Germans but to control them. If only the government is armed, any civil disobedience can easily be crushed by governments, as it is happening in Britain since 1997. Rogue politicians like Merkel are not working for the German people. She clearly is in the pockets of the global banker elite. Merkel, with her criminal comments, has lost her legitimate right to hold office. The people of Germany must call for Merkel’s immediate resignation, consequent investigation and her arrest for treason. If they don’t, and if Merkel gets her way, Germans will see history repeat itself in their own country, when SS style police SWAT teams in black uniforms with machine guns raid their homes and are, without judge and jury, guilty until proven innocent.

Hersh: 'Executive assassination ring' reported directly to Cheney

By Muriel Kane

Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh dropped a bombshell on Tuesday when he told an audience at the University of Minnesota that the military was running an "executive assassination ring" throughout the Bush years which reported directly to former Vice President Dick Cheney.

The remark came out seemingly inadvertently when Hersh was asked by the moderator of a public discussion of "America's Constitutional Crisis" whether abuses of executive power, like those which occurred under Richard Nixon, continue to this day.

Hersh replied, "After 9/11, I haven’t written about this yet, but the Central Intelligence Agency was very deeply involved in domestic activities against people they thought to be enemies of the state. Without any legal authority for it. They haven’t been called on it yet."

Hersh then went on to describe a second area of extra-legal operations: the Joint Special Operations Command. "It is a special wing of our special operations community that is set up independently," he explained. "They do not report to anybody, except in the Bush-Cheney days, they reported directly to the Cheney office. ... Congress has no oversight of it."

"It’s an executive assassination ring essentially, and it’s been going on and on and on," Hersh stated. "Under President Bush’s authority, they’ve been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving. That’s been going on, in the name of all of us."

Hersh told MinnPost.com blogger Eric Black in an email exchange after the event that the subject was "not something I wanted to dwell about in public." He is looking into it for a book, but he believes it may be a year or two before he has enough evidence "for even the most skeptical."

Stories have been coming out about covert Pentagon assassination squads for the last several years. In 2003, Hersh himself reported on Task Force 121, which operated chiefly out of the Joint Special Operations Command. Others stories spoke of a proposed Proactive, Preemptive Operations Group.

As Hersh noted in Minnesota, the New York Times on Monday described the Joint Special Operations Command as overseeing the secret commando units in Afghanistan whose missions were temporarily ordered halted last month because of growing concerns over excessive civilian deaths.

However, it appears that Hersh is now on the trail of some fresh revelation about these squads and their connection to Vice-President Cheney that goes well beyond anything that has previously been reported.

Eric Black's blog posting, which includes an hour-long audio recording of the full University of Minnesota colloquy, is available here.

UK Jewish MP: Israel acting like Nazis in Gaza

from Enasni http://www.tubereject.com/play.php?vid=496

\"Israel was born out of Jewish Terrorism\" Tzipi Livnis Father was a Terrorist\" Astonishing claims in the House of Parliament. SIR Gerald Kaufman, the veteran Labour MP, yesterday compared the actions of Israeli troops in Gaza to the Nazis who forced his family to flee Poland.

During a Commons debate on the fighting in Gaza, he urged the government to impose an arms embargo on Israel.

Sir Gerald, who was brought up as an orthodox Jew and Zionist, said: \"My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town a German soldier shot her dead in her bed.

\"My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza. The present Israeli government ruthlessly and cynically exploits the continuing guilt from gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the Holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians.\"

H e said the claim that many of the Palestinian victims were militants \"was the reply of the Nazi\" and added: \"I suppose the Jews fighting for their lives in the Warsaw ghetto could have been dismissed as militants.\"

He accused the Israeli government of seeking \"conquest\" and added: \"

They are not simply war criminals, they are fools.\"

GOOGLE LAUNCHES “INTEREST-BASED ADS”

Marketing/Advertising/Brand/PR

From brand.com.au

Google is introducing a new form of advertising it has dubbed “interest-based advertising” using information it garners from internet users’ website visits to target them with ads that are likely to be of interest.-based advertising, often called behavioural targeting, was launched overnight in the US in its beta, or testing, phase and Google is expecting to launch the ads later in the year in Australia.

While Google admitted other online operators are already using similar methods, it claims the extent of its reach and content network will be a unique opportunity for advertisers.

Google’s vice-president of product management Wojcicki announced the new ad form in a posting on its Public Policy blog, saying: “To date, we have shown ads based mainly on what your interests are at a specific moment. So if you search for “digital camera” on Google, you’ll get ads related to digital cameras. If you are visiting the website of one of our Adsense partners, you would see ads based on the content of the page. There are some situations, however, where a keyword or the content of a web page simply doesn’t give us enough information to serve highly relevant ads.”

To add to these systems Google will now “associate categories of interest – say sports, gardening, cars, pets – with your browser, based on the types of sites you visit and the pages you view. We may then use those interest categories to show you more relevant text and display ads.”

Google insists it is using measures to ensure transparency and privacy, and to give users a choice about whether they want to be targeted in this way. Wojcicki said users can click on ads to see how they are served, combined with an “ads preferences manager” which lets users view and delete categories associated with a user’s browser. Users can opt out of the Google Adsense network also, with a plug-in for their browers, she added.

Comment by Think:

This new product of Google's AdSense line requires web masters to make changes to the privacy policy of their web sites, which raises my concern. Can Googles be trusted not to misuse such intimate information for Big Brother purposes? Many governments and illegitimate Super States, such as the European Union, have introduced unethical laws that allow city bureaucrats, state employees and feds to track profiles of our intimate preferences and habits based on our online activities in the name of fighting a illusive "War on Terror".

While I see a legitimate use for the product in an open society, the fact remains, that this product will make it even easier for Big Brother to profile its citizens. The legal implications have yet to be investigated, and the fact remains: Governments are only able to carry out their activities with the complicity of the people. How easy will we make it for them?

Bankers and Politicians: The Global Crime Syndicate

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

Thomas Jefferson

Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802)

Private banks issuing your Money:
The Federal Reserve (US)
The European Central Bank (EU)
The Bank of England (GB)
and most other "State" Banks.

FBI intimidates Alex Jones Show

Houston, TX

Alex Jones on this syndicated radio show today revealed that the FBI is “throwing fishing lines through the windows of his office”. The FBI called Mr. Jones’s studio during yesterdays broadcast with intimidating interest but was refusing to state the reason for their investigation. With the release of Alex Jones’s masterpiece documentary “The Obama Deception” imminent, President Obama and his team have good reason to be nervous. The documentary will present Barack H. Obama’s statements and links his words to his actions as then US Senator and now President. Main stream media reports and interviews deepen the plot, casting reasonable doubt on President Obama’s sincerity and authenticity.

The FBI called Alex Jones’s office on Tuesday, 10^th March while he was on air and unavailable to take the call himself. Studio staff who answered the phone was asked by the FBI if this was indeed Alex Jones’s - the Broadcaster’s office, and where the office was located. The agent also demanded to know where exactly their CDN Servers (CDN - Content Distribution Network) are located. When Alex called the FBI back to clarify the nature of their inquiry, the FBI agent refused to say why the FBI had such a sudden and specific interest in Mr. Jones’s office and server locations.

Alex states that these “snoopy questions” are being asked to intimidate his staff and himself, and that the FBI’s interest is to “98% related” to the imminent release of his documentary “The Obama Deception”. Alex referred the FBI to legal counsel and asked for a subpoena before willing to give any information the FBI.

As a result of this incident, Alex will release his wake-up movie one week before the scheduled release date and as early as tomorrow. The movie can be purchased on DVD from Prisonplanet.com, downloaded in high quality on Prisonplanet.tv or watched for free in lower quality on Google or YouTube. Mr. Jones’s fear that the release of his movie may be blocked by the White House is warranted.

President Obama has crippled Free Speech before. During his presidential campaign he colluded with Missouri State officials and police and threatened to arrest anyone who would criticise then Presidential Candidate Obama. Matt Blunt, Gov. MO , later issued a statement to the Obama campaign charging them with “abusive use of Missouri law enforcement.” See this article.

Reviving this Blog

There is plenty of good information out there, such as Rense, Infowars, Mathaba to name a few. Websearch any of them for wide spectrum geopolitical news and analysis. It is for this reason that I have concentrated on reading and learning, not writing in these past few months.

However, the enemy has stepped up their plight to enslave humanity. Their relentless campaign of disinformation and brainwashing continues. Their criminal efforts increase exponentially. The changes upon us intensify in strength, frequency and madness.

As the bankers and compliant politicians plunder the world of their assets (that's what you own), the need for even more wide spread information is greater than ever before. No one who is awake can in good conscience remain quiet. Too much is at stake.

I look at today's children, and imagine their colorless future in a feudalistic society, micro-chipped controlled and enslaved by a ruling elite. What drives me back to revive my blog today? I care for the innocent people, for our and all children. I cry for the Ignorant. For your refusal to make an effort to think for yourselves enables those who do not have your best interest at heart. You choose to believe them. You choose to comply. You choose to give away your sovereignty and that of the next generation. These may be some of the last true choices you will ever have. Liberty, freedom of choice and happiness will no longer be known to the serving class (that's you, too) in just a few decades. Is this your choice? Is that you?
