And now, on Tehran TV, the latest news from London ...

Welcome to a special edition of Eye On The Infidel, live from London, capital of the hated New Labour tyranny.

The Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Brown, is clinging to power despite receiving only 15 per cent of the vote in last week's elections.

In some conservative tribal regions, the ruling junta's share fell to just 8 per cent, with government candidates beaten into fourth place by fascists and separatists.

Even in lowland Scotland , formerly a Brownite stronghold, Labour was humiliated by nationalist forces.

It represented a new nadir in the fortunes of Labour under the dictator Brown, an ultra-orthodox Presbyterian theocrat, who replaced the despised Bushite running dog Tony Blair in a coup two years ago.

But Brown is refusing to accept the result of the election and has declared himself the winner. He told the official state broadcaster that he was getting on with the job, which is what people wanted him to do.

A clumsy attempt to remove the Supreme Leader by dissidents rallying under the banner of the breakaway Guardianista faction was ruthlessly crushed.

Brown then embarked on a shambolic reshuffle of his Cabinet, in an attempt to purge reformists from key posts. But at least two of the leading dissidents remain in office, a stark illustration of the Supreme Leader's underlying political weakness.

Such is the parlous level of his support at home, he has been forced to draft in from Europe exiled party elders like the twice-disgraced mortgage fraudster Ayatollah Mandelson and expenses baroness Harridan Kinnock to shore up his crumbling regime.

Civil unrest has been mounting since the collapse of the infidel capitalist banking system. In London, a newspaper vendor was clubbed to death by masked police during violent clashes between security forces and anti-globalisation protesters.

Similar hard-line tactics, involving riot shields and baton charges, have also been used to suppress peaceful protests by demonstrators opposed to Labour's totalitarian efforts to eradicate traditional English countryside pursuits.

In the Islamic province of Luton , troops clashed with brave members of local jihadist groups campaigning peacefully for the introduction of Sharia law in Britain and an end to the religious wars of aggression against Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Hundreds of thousands of women have taken to wearing hijabs to express their support for Sharia. The burqa is now a common sight in British towns and cities.

Meanwhile, in London, millions of commuters took to the streets after the Underground system was brought to a standstill because of a strike by revolutionary transport workers loyal to the deposed spiritual leader, Ayatollah Redken.

At the heart of this crisis is the fact that under the Supreme Leader's profligate stewardship, the country is effectively bankrupt.

Britain 's vast oil and gas reserves have been squandered and taxes are soaring.

As well as a run on the banks, there has been widespread looting of department stores, particularly the John Lewis chain, led by members of the ruling elite making off with sofas, plasma televisions and kitchen sinks.

Politicians from all parties have stolen millions of pounds submitting false expenses claims and using public money to build private property empires and watch pornographic films.

This corruption goes right to the heart of the political establishment, with even the Treasury Minister implicated in wholesale tax evasion. Scandalously, he remains in office, even though the Speaker, Ayatollah Gorbals, has been forced to resign.

Once the home of parliamentary democracy, Westminster is little more than a talking shop, poorly attended and utterly discredited. Most of Britain 's laws are now imposed by foreign bureaucrats and judges without any debate.

Freedom of speech has been brutally repressed. Police arrested an Opposition spokesman simply for doing his job.

There is also the question of the democratic legitimacy of the Brown junta.

He seized power without an election and has repeatedly demonstrated his contempt for accountability and the will of the people.

Yet rather than acknowledge their anger, he persists in changing the subject and is now considering tinkering with the voting system in a cynical last-ditch attempt to remain in power. The Supreme Leader has withdrawn into his bunker and is reduced to issuing deranged statements on YouTube.

It is frightening to think that this madman has access to nuclear weapons and has never accepted Middle England's right to exist. He appears to be hell-bent on wiping the United Kingdom off the map and submerging it into an imperialist European superstate.

And yet the British still have the nerve to lecture us on democracy. My fellow Iranians, we should give thanks that we are in the safe hands of our beloved President Ahmadinejad, peace be upon him.

Post op..........

A surgeon went to check on his blond patient after an operation.
She was awake, so he examined her. “You’ll be fine,” he said.
She asked, “How long will it be before I am able to have a normal sex life again doctor?”
The surgeon seemed to pause, which alarmed the girl.
“What’s the matter Doctor? I will be all right, won’t I?”
He replied, “Yes, you’ll be fine. It’s just that no one has ever asked me that after having their tonsils out.”

In the land that made me, me.

Long ago and far away, in a land that time forgot,
Before the days of Dylan, or the dawn of Camelot.

There lived a race of innocents, and they were you and me,
For Ike was in the White House in that land where we were born,
Where navels were for oranges, and Peyton Place was porn.
We learned to gut a muffler, we washed our hair at dawn,
We spread our crinolines to dry in circles on the lawn.

We longed for love and romance, and waited for our Prince,
And Eddie Fisher married Liz, and no one’s seen him since.
We danced to ‘Little Darlin,’ and sang to ‘Stagger Lee’
And cried for Buddy Holly in the Land That Made Me, Me.

Only girls wore earrings then, and 3 was one too many,
And only boys wore flat-top cuts, except for Jean McKinney.
And only in our wildest dreams did we expect to see
A boy named George with Lipstick, in the Land That Made Me, Me.

We fell for Frankie Avalon, Annette was oh, so nice,
And when they made a movie, they never made it twice.
We didn’t have a Star Trek Five, or Psycho Two and Three,
Or Rocky-Rambo Twenty in the Land That Made Me, Me.

Miss Kitty had a heart of gold, and Chester had a limp,
And Reagan was a Democrat whose co-star was a chimp.
We had a Mr. Wizard, but not a Mr. T ,
And Oprah couldn’t talk yet, in the Land That Made Me, Me.

We had our share of heroes, we never thought they’d go,
At least not Bobby Darin, or Marilyn Monroe.
For youth was still eternal, and life was yet to be,
And Elvis was forever in the Land That Made Me, Me.

We’d never seen the rock band that was Grateful to be Dead,
And Airplanes weren’t named Jefferson , and Zeppelins were not Led.
And Beatles lived in gardens then, and Monkee’s lived in trees,
Madonna was a virgin in the Land That Made Me, Me.

We’d never heard of microwaves, or telephones in cars,
And babies might be bottle-fed, but they weren’t grown in jars.
And pumping iron got wrinkles out, and ‘gay’ meant fancy-free,
And dorms were never coed in the Land That Made Me, Me.

We hadn’t seen enough of jets to talk about the lag,
And microchips were what was left at the bottom of the bag.
And Hardware was a box of nails, and bytes came from a flea,
And rocket ships were fiction in the Land That Made Me, Me.

Buicks came with portholes, and side shows came with freaks,
And bathing suits came big enough to cover both your cheeks.
And Coke came just in bottles, and skirts below the knee,
And Castro came to power near the Land That Made Me, Me.

We had no Crest with Fluoride, we had no Hill Street Blues,
We had no patterned pantyhose or Lipton herbal tea
Or prime-time ads for condoms in the Land That Made Me, Me.

There were no golden arches, no Perrier to chill,
And fish were not called Wanda, and cats were not called Bill.
And middle-aged was 35 and old was forty-three,
And ancient were our parents in the Land That Made Me, Me.

But all things have a season, or so we’ve heard them say,
And now instead of Maybelline we swear by Retin-A.
They send us invitations to join AARP,
We’ve come a long way, baby, from the Land That Made Me, Me.

So now we face a brave new world in slightly larger jeans,
And wonder why they’re using smaller print in magazines.
And we tell our children’s children of the way it used to be,
Long ago and far away in the Land That Made Me, Me.

"We have one group that lives under the highly artificial and intensely regulated conditions of post-modern urban life. (Even if they go to a cottage, it will be equipped with the electronic paraphernalia to create a bubble of urbanity.) And, we have another group who remain in contact with the eternal verities of life on this planet. (Who, for instance, associate electric power with doing work, as opposed to "making consumer choices.")

No One Left to Brain Wash


While Obama beefs up the Government's Authority over your personal life, he's withdrawing American power abroad. It's a complex and dangerous world, a tinderbox, in fact. And what is Obama doing? Negotiating our disengagement. Spengler assesses some of the hotspots:

"Obama's policy reduces to empowering America's enemies in the hope that they will conform to American interests out of gratitude. Just the opposite result is likely to ensure: Iran, Pakistan and other regional powers are likely to take radical measures. Iran is threatened with a collapse of its Shi'ite program from Lebanon to Afghanistan, and Pakistan is threatened with a breakup into three or more states." Obama Creates a Deadly Power Vacuum

Well, it's all very exciting!

A spot of history.....

Commandant Louis Joseph Lahure has a singular distinction in military history — he defeated a navy on horseback.

Occupying Holland in January 1795, the French continental army learned that the mighty Dutch navy had been frozen into the ice around Texel Island. So Lahure and 128 men simply rode up to it and demanded surrender. No shots were fired.

Repealing the Laws of Physics.........

Subject: Automotive Industry Challenge... Dr. David Cole
From a senior level Chrysler person

Monday morning I attended a breakfast meeting where the speaker/guest was Dr. David E. Cole, Chairman, Center for Automotive Research, (CAR and Professor at the University of Michigan ). You have all likely heard CAR quoted, or referred to in the auto industry news lately.

Dr. Cole, who is an engineer by training, told many stories of the difficulty of working with the folks that the Obama administration has sent to save the auto industry. There have been many meetings where a 30+ year experience automotive expert has to listen to a newcomer to the industry, someone with zero manufacturing experience, zero auto industry experience, zero business experience, zero finance experience, and zero engineering experience, tell them how to run their business.

Dr. Cole's favorite story is as follows:

There was a team of Obama people speaking to Dr. Cole (Graduate Engineer, automotive experience 40+ years, Chairman of CAR). They were explaining to Dr. Cole that the auto companies needed to make a car that was electric and utilized liquid natural gas (LNG) with enough combined fuel to go 500 miles so we wouldn't "need" so many gas stations, (a whole other topic). They were quoting the BTU's of LNG and battery life that they had looked up on some website.

Dr. Cole explained that to do this you would need a trunk FULL of batteries and a LNG tank at big as the car to make it happen and that there were problems related to the basic laws of physics that prevented them from...

The Obama person interrupted and said (and I am quoting here): "These laws of physics? Who's rules are those? We need to change that. (Some of the others diligently wrote down the law name so they could look it up). We have both the congress and the administration. We can repeal that law, amend it, or use an executive order to get rid of that problem. That's why we are here, to fix these sort of issues".
This country is in big trouble...

Memorial Poem.....

The Dead 1914.

Blow out, you bugles, over the rich Dead!
There's none of these so lonely and poor of old,
But, dying, has made us rarer gifts than gold.
These laid the world away; poured out the red
Sweet wine of youth; gave up the years to be
Of work and joy, and that unhoped serene,
That men call age; and those who would have been,
Their sons, they gave, their immortality.


Blow, bugles, blow! They brought us, for our dearth,
Holiness, lacked so long, and Love, and Pain,
Honour has come back, as a king, to earth,
And paid his subjects with a royal wage;
And Nobleness walks in our ways again;
And we have come into our heritage.

Rupert Brooke (1887-1915)

Who better?................from Rico

It was announced today that Phil Angelides the former Treasurer of California would lead a "probe" of the US financial collapse.

Think about it for a minute.

California. The failed socialist welfare cum "dead beat" state currently trying to meet its debts with IOU's that banks are refusing to accept.

WHO BETTER to look into our current economic crisis?
- As California goes, so then goes the US. I guess we're next, huh?

My explanation is simpler...our politicians and economists are behaving like squirrels on crack because their supply has been 'tainted' somehow. Maybe Castro is getting paybacks for those 'laced' cigars many years ago by now lacing their crack supply? That would explain Washington, Wallstreet, and California quite nicely, plus most of the other 52%.
