~ ITEM: Woolwich Walk: 10 Lapses of Liberty
~ ITEM: Binky– Freedom: Ad Fontes; and Fountain Of Freedom, 2
~ ITEM: Threatened With Death? Don’t You Dare Tell Anyone!
~ ITEM: The Eclipse of the British Empire
~ THE PANICKY UK ruling classes, torn between beheadings and uppity lower-class people speaking out for truth and common-sense, seem to be chosing.. silencings.
Tommy Robinson, former thug & likely-lad? PERP-WALK HIM!
Activist Pam Geller & scholar Robert Spencer truth-telling about the religion of the beheaders? BANNED!
People doing the flower & teddy-bears thing at slain soldier Rigby’s roadside shrine? Sick the Stalinist gangs on them, or arrest them!
Hiding Under The Covers
The rulers of the UK are terrified and horrified more of an uprising of the peasants than of the jihadists. They are more afraid of the truth getting out there, than of corpses in the streets.
The elites are terrified of the threats from the Jihad, versus worrying about the death of English liberty under law, the 1000 years of principled political and social life, the tension between authority and individualism, freedom and the right of protest.
What DO We DO?
Burn the Magna Carta! Toss the previous and later laws & covenants between kings & people down the years! Flake out on the old British courage and defiance and doughtiness because bad people who are serious about their bad religion have replaced and silenced the old British-educated Muslim immigrants who actually were peaceful, law-abiding and thankful to be in England! Writes one observer:
“Why would British Muslims ever assimilate? Why would moderates in the community ever condemn savagery committed by jihadis? Why would Islamists ever fear real repercussions for beheading a man on a street-corner while passers-by looked on in horror? Why would they ever respect their hosts when clearly, it is the British who will bow to them?”
After the Imperial hubris and bragging, modern England became semi-pacifist, shirkers of duty and trouble, and this is more of the same. Sadly, just as England allowed Europe to slip back under the sway of militant Teutonism in a second world war– and almost lost most of Western Europe– so the Labories (Labour-Tories) would have England under CCTV, the threat of beheadings, coughing up welfare to jolly Jihadists, and trying to look the other way and blame the victims when terrorism grows and leers and mocks England and all she stood for and might stand for again.
You’re OK, We Suck
Multiculturalism doesn’t work– it is a form of insanity that muzzles the home civilization while exalting the newcomers– especially the disgruntled and ungrateful ones. England– like a lot of Western nations– embraced huge amounts of immigrants when their native population decided not to have babies, and very few when they did.
Endland is dying demographically, spiritually, and p[olitically. All these news-bits are just the deck-chairs being arranged and sliding around as the great ship goes down. Is she doomed?
The response to terror and protest and uncomfortable realities will tell the tale. ~
Britain: Facing A New & Exciting Future!
Lightbulbs Of Evil
~ ITEM: BULB BAN IS A DIM IDEA — Brian Lilley says the impending ban on incandescent light bulbs is pure idiocy and will hurt your wallet and possibly your family
~ SO, TEH BINKS has a bit of a blog on Evil curly-bulbs of Death. Might be of interest to you & your family.
Topics covered:
(a) Mercury-based curly-bulbs require an EPA-suggested 14-step biohazard disposal.
(b) There’s lots of evidence that bulb-factories in China are killing folks
(3) LED technology is a good alternative to incandescent; curly-bulbs are GE-USAGov sweet deal, to be enforced by legislation, and don’t work very well
Super-efficient LED and other technologies are coming along: banning something is generally a bad idea, especially if it’s a response to hysteria about “Combatting The Warmings Of Global!” and lining the pockets of GE and Chinese factory-owners through government-enforced manipulation of the market. Bad deal all ’round.
Mercury is an INDUSTRIAL uber-poison that should not be in anybody’s home. ONE broken bulb can render your home technically biohazard-contaminated by mercury.
Curly Death-Bulbs are evil from top to bottom, from politics to market. Learn up (read all my few but thorough blog-entries), and get informed, then pass it around, then contact your MLAs, MPs, Congress, Senate. ~
Be Prepared, Or Else
~ ITEM: Another Muslim savage stabs British teenager to death in the street, then laughed about it
~ ITEM: Moderate Muslims Oppose UK Ban on Anti-Islamic Speakers
~ ITEM: How the hell is this not a racist murder?
Far-Right, Fascist, and Racist? Condell on EDL
~ IF THERE IS A legitimate threat, basic justice (i.e. what is fitting to something or a situation) dictates that people are allowed to defend themselves with the appropriate tools and preparations for possible threats.
The police are– and have ever been (a) a back-up to civilian peace-officers, and (b) most effective in an essentially lawful society. In a society where the law-abiding have been effectively criminalized and dis-armed, but where a minority are willing to use weapons and extreme violence, you have a society-wide injustice.
The right to defend you and yours is not a ‘human right’– after all, animals and bacteria and slugs defend themselves: it’s an existing creature thing.
Must Have Bloods!
Sadly, the politically correct powers that be would rather have regular yearly blood-sacrifices to their insane ideology than allow people the freedom to do the right & necessary thing to defend themselves, other people, and their property.
Dear Welsh, English, Scottish & and other peoples of the British Isles– you must begin to defend yourselves again– some of the people you have invited to enjoy the freedom and riches of your lands are willing to break the law (they claim their demon-god Allah tells them it’s OK), and slaughter your soldiers, teens, disabled, and defenceless people– many of the ones which in our Judaeo-Christian society tells us are precious to God and deserving of help and protection.
Getting Dangerous
What does Binky recommend? Well, you need to get up off the ground and fight back in the streets, and in the legislatures. Get your guns and blades back, because you allowed the ruling classes to disarm everybody. The nanny state and multiculturalism is failing, and on the ruins come wolves and scavengers and barbarians.
Until; the laws, if you want to remain inside the law? Canes. Shillelaghs. Learn how to fight with them. There are books on Amazon, and possibly martial arts clubs to teach it. Take martial arts– preferably something with real-world training, not just endless katas and punching practice. Join a Western martial arts club– the UK is rife with them… and a even wooden sword in the hands of an expert can be dangerous.
The police are there later. YOU are the first-responder.
Profiling, Please
Do not trust younger people who might possibly be Muslim. There, I said it. I would apply my all-purpose Rule For Driving: Everyone You See Is Trying To Kill You.
In the case of Jihadis– and they may be white or 3rd generation Muslim raised in England– is that some of them very much ARE trying to kill you. It’s not personal, it’s Jihad. A little terror goes a long way.
So what do you think of the English Defense League now? What about Unite Against Fascism? Now there’s a bunch of insane Stalinist thugs & Islam-mongers and lunatics. ~
Confessio Binks
~ ITEM: Rush Limbaugh.com
~ ITEM: Steyn on Rush– George III Wouldn’t Have Done This To You
~ ALTHOUGH it’s been very uncool in some semi-conservative circles to like him (cough-Dempublicans Establishment-cough), Teh Binks likes Rush Limbaugh. I listen when I can, and his infromation, talking-points, and connect-the-dots on U.S. politics and culture has been proven to be correct or in the ballpark so many times that he might well deserve the title of news-prophet.
Drugs? Scandals? Media outrage? The Left– especially King Obama & his toadies– hate him with a special frothing hate because he’s successful, right, and almost single-handedly started the modern phenomenon of talk-radio, and similar uses of the internets. He did Stewart & Colbert decades before those two became famous; he used his charming braga nd bluster– cunningly salted with facts and intelligence– to win over lots of people to a clearer understanding of news & current events.
I’ve not always agreed with his take on the pure goodness of capitalism, and rape the earth exploitation of nature, but no one person except Jesus reflects the fullness of all truth. Limbaugh is doing the work that the pamphleteers and writers of the American Revolution did, back in the day.
The Infidel Steyn
The other thing is my old chum Mark Steyn, who from time to time guest-hosts from “Ice Station EIB” as “America’s Undocumented Anchorman”. It’s always a delight to hear him, especially when he carefully, kindly, but thoroughly demolishes an argument, the vintage media consensus, or the obvious questions about current events otherwise not being asked, with his usual humour and wit.
No, this is not a paid advertisement; no, I have not sold my soul to RushCorp for a mess of pottage; no, I do not stand by every little thing he says on every topic, or the way he says it. Shuddup.

Some Basic Logic
~ ITEM: How Atheists Argue
~ ITEM: Intelligent Design – A Poem
~ OK: THERE ARE No Atheists. Of course, some people call themselves that, but they are mistaken. Follow the logic.
(a) In order to KNOW there is no God, you’d have to know all facts and possibilities in the universe— and multiverses, if there are same. That degree of knowledge (omniscience) is an attribute of God, not human beings.
(b) The most any person can claim is the wish to disbelieve in the existence of God. Since– as we famously hear– God is not a direct subject of scientific/ experimental study, an “Atheist” can neither verify or disprove God’s existence.
(c) An agnostic (Greek: a= without/ no + gnosis=knowledge) honestly says they can’t be sure. The atheists claim to be sure, which they can’t be. The no-Godders can call themselves what they want, but it’s not true or accurate (a=without/ no + theos=God). Belief in materialism is just that– a non-God religion, depending on a kind of faith based on one form of knowing.. which form of knowing cannot itself “PROVE” either that “empirical” scientific knowledge is the only worthwhile way of knowing, or that materialism is true. This logical fail was figured out in the 40s and 50s, but like most intellectual and malignant errors, just kept going way past the best-before date.
Therefore– There Are No Atheists.
Not So Simpled
There are lots of reasons why people might want to disbelieve– some of them honest, some not, and all arising from the basic human impulse to want the goodies of existence without acknowledging a God within and behind them to whom we owe all, even our supposedly exalted selves. Belied has a great deal to do with will, and with an attitude to the evidence of faith that means it’s not just The Brights Vs. The Dims.
That just rankles, dunnit?
Sucking Fumes
The “Atheists” are like so many other faddish political types in our society– living off the fumes and goodwill and the almost bankrupt moral, spiritual, intellectual and cultural inheritance built up over 2000 years in Europe. They take for granted as deserved all the goods of faith and knowledge and goodness, as if humans are just wonderful in themselves, and as if those qualities arise out of thin air. Nope.
Sorry Dawkins, all the rest of you. Give it up. Binks has proven you– or at least your certainties– do not and cannot exist. ~
