Penis Snatching & Nipple Tattoos - It's the end of the world as we know it




It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.




EDITOR'S NOTE - Judging by the stories in the news, I am firmly convinced we have reached the End of Days. Human beings are fucking idiots. We are doomed.




Penis Snatching Crime Wave In Africa


Reports of genital theft are a relatively common occurrence across West and Central Africa, scholars say.
.
Academics observing reports of penis snatching on the continent have previously deemed it an urban phenomenon - a manifestation of the anxieties that arise when a village becomes a city and rural people find themselves living among crowds of unfamiliar people.

So a U.S. anthropologist was 'intrigued' when she arrived in the tiny hamlet of Tiringoulou in the Central African Republic, to find two villagers claiming to have been the victims of genital theft reports the UK Daily Mail.


Previous instances have been reported in crowded centres like Lagos, Nigeria, or Douala, in Cameroon.
.
Louisa Lombard, a postdoctoral fellow in geography at the University of California, Berkeley, said villagers in Tiringoulou told her of a traveller, upon arriving on a Sudanese merchant truck, removed two men's penises with a handshake.
.
The academic was told the stranger had targeted a tea seller in the market and a second man, she wrote in a report on alternet.org.
.
'After handing over his money, he [the stranger] clasped the vendor’s hand. The tea seller felt an electric tingling course through his body and immediately sensed that his penis had shrunk to a size smaller than that of a baby’s. His yells quickly drew a crowd.
.
'Somehow in the fray a second man fell victim as well,' she wrote.

Several eyewitnesses assured her the 'appendages did indeed shrink dramatically'.

Tittooing - Nipple Tattoos Now a Trend?





In the "Too Much Information Department"  -  Liverpudlian glamazons have taken grooming one step further by darkening and defining their nipples - with tattoos.

This new trend of semi-permanent nipple tattooing has swept Liverpool by storm and has already reached the vajazzled land of Essex.

Nipple tattooing, or ‘tittooing’ as it is nicknamed, is a process which originated as a medical procedure for breast reconstruction. Now, it serves as a cosmetic procedure for women to darken, enlarge and define their nipples and the surrounding areola. The semi-permanent treatment gives them their 'perfect nipples' and can last a life-time with regular top-ups says the UK Telegraph.




Gail Proudman, an independent clinician based in Merseyside, tattoos the nipples of more than three women a week and has seen a huge increase in young women coming in for the latest cosmetic trend.

She explains: "A lot of people want their nipples made darker. It’s the fashion. Some people think theirs are too pink or their boyfriends want them done. I think sometime they are doing it because they are conscious of them being pale and they think it’s fashionable to have dark nipples. They'll look at the magazines and page 3 and unfortunately a lot of it might be peer pressure.

“The girls get them done so they can go topless and not be embarrassed, or when they're in a changing room and getting changed. They can go on holiday in front of their partners, go for massages, spray tans and just not be conscious of their body."

The two-hour procedure, which can cost up to £1,200 for both nipples, lasts around 12 to 18 months and top-ups are recommended to restore any colour lost as the ink fades over time. The nipples are made to look natural by matching ink colours to skin tones, which are then shaded and tattooed on to the anaesthetised nipple. Several weeks after the procedure, it is all repeated to restore fading and add finishing touches.

Man Sexually Abused His Peacock
But was it consensual?
Was the peacock a boy or a girl?


CHICAGO - A man from northwest suburban Roselle, in DuPage County, faces a charge of misdemeanor animal cruelty after police said he sexually abused his pet peacock.


David Beckman, 64, of the 600 block of East Devon Avenue, was charged with the crime after police learned the bird died while they were investigating Beckman about an alleged case of indecent solicitation of a child.

Details surrounding the case with the peacock, reportedly named Phyl, were unclear Friday, as investigators said it was part of the case involving the child, the Daily Herald reported.

Court records confirmed Beckman faces three charges of harassment by telephone, unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, two counts of marijuana possession, attempted indecent solicitation of a child, cruelty to animals, and two counts of battery.

He remained in the DuPage County Jail.

Obamacare 40% tax on union health plans



Obama screws union backers with a 40% tax on their health care plans
  • What?!?  You mean Socialized Medicine isn't free?


Deep in the list of taxes that the president's Obamacare plan will hit Americans with is a 40 percent excise tax on health plans typical union members have, especially in Midwest states, according to a new analysis.

The Obamacare tax won't take place until 2018, but when it does it will smack high cost, or so-called "Cadillac" health insurance plans, according to the group Americans for Tax Reform.


"This tax will most directly affect union families and early retirees, who are likely to be covered by such plans," said ATR in a review of upcoming tax cuts in the health reform package set to go into effect in January.

It will target plans whose premiums exceed exceed $10,200 for an individual and $27,500 for a family reports the Washington Examiner.

"Middle class union members tend to be covered by such plans in states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan," said ATR.

Unsaid: Many more people are likely to be hit if insurance firms raise premiums by up to 400 percent after Obamacare kicks in. A House report provided to Secrets said that 17 major insurers said the average premium increase will be 100 percent and others could top 400 percent.

ATR also warned that Americans participating in flexible spending accounts at work will no longer be able to put away whatever they want, thereby cutting their tax bill. The cap will be $2,500 a year, resulting in a $13 billion tax bill over the next 10 years for those who used to put away more than $2,500.





Kids play the Female Genital Mutilation Game




British use a game to teach kids about the insane mutilation of girls


British children of 10 and 11 are being taught about female genital mutilation for the first time as primary schools join the effort to eradicate the practice, which is a criminal offence.

Pupils can find it distressing or embarrassing to learn about the African tradition of cutting girls’ genitals, teachers involved in the initiative said. But children needed to be made aware of signs that they or their friends were at risk, they said.

The need for awareness is great in the summer break before secondary school begins when thousands of British children are taken abroad to be cut.

St Werburgh’s Primary School, Bristol, is thought to be the first to embed the subject in personal, social and health education (PSHE) lessons, which address issues such as body changes and female empowerment reports the Times of London.


Slice it off in the name of Allah.

Bristol City Council, which covers a large Somali community and is leading a campaign against female genital mutilation (FGM), said that in the past year ten other primary schools had had training about the issue.

The council is urging all schools to “address FGM” regardless of their racial mix. Head teachers can choose whether to implement the training and parents can opt not to have their children in such sessions. At four secondary schools in the area, a role-play exercise called the FGM Game, and a DVD are used to help teenagers to understand, report and prevent the crime.

FGM is a tradition in some Muslim African cultures where it is associated with cleanliness and virginity. About 24,000 British children are estimated to be at risk and some are believed to be mutilated in Britain. The most serious type involves removing all external genitalia and sewing up the vagina.

At St Werburgh’s, a teacher and learning mentor help Year 6 girls to understand that their bodies should stay the way they are. FGM is referred to in lessons as “cutting”. Claire Smith, head teacher, said: “We don’t go into graphic detail . . . but they need to know that, if someone starts talking about becoming a woman or becoming clean, with a holiday or a celebration and presents, they should talk to somebody they trust.”


Jenny Weston, the school’s learning mentor, said that pupils went through a range of emotions during PSHE lessons, from intrigue to upset, but most were comfortable in a small session.

The school also holds one-to-one sessions and has regular meetings with parents. About 10 per cent of its 195 pupils have Somali heritage.

Smith has worked with the community to get parents’ consent for lessons on sex and relationships and to make clear that FGM is illegal in the UK, though no one has been convicted. All families making special holiday requests, possibly to allow wounds time to heal, are asked outright whether they plan to cut their daughters.

Many have renounced the practice but feel pressure from relatives overseas.

Smith said that she had alerted police and social services to at-risk children several times in five years. She called for PSHE lessons to be made statutory so that parents could not opt out. “If the Government is serious about eradicating FGM then they have to put it in the national curriculum,” she said.

A Department for Education spokesman said: “FGM is an extreme violation of human rights.” But he added: Parents have the right to withdraw their children from any or all parts of sex and relationship education that is not part of the national curriculum.”

The IRS acts as the Brown Shirts of National Socialism



"Corruptus in Extremis"
Both parties promised you a Socialist IRS, a Marxist re-distribution of the wealth and a centralized police state . . . They have kept their promises to you.


By Gary;

The Police State  -  From day one the Income Tax was created to be used as a political class warfare weapon against the "evil" rich (the job creators).  The tax would steal their money and re-distribute that wealth to buy the votes of those not paying the tax. 

The ever growing tax code was and is used to reward or punish the friends and enemies of both the Democrats and the Republicans.  Everyone from Republican farmers to Greenie Solyndra Democrats gets to stick their snouts deep in the trough of the re-distributed wealth of America.

The political hacks have thug-like extorted the business class by saying, "Give us campaign money and we won't fuck you as hard at tax time."

So it should come as no surprise that IRS agents are morphing into the very Fascist Brown Shirt enforcers of the All-Powerful Marxist State that they were meant to be.

Political Attacks  -  This oppressive IRS Marxist-Fascist hybrid has exploded in the public eye this week.

From Obamacare down to the smallest local level the IRS State wants to control your every move.

One small story caught my attention.  A Tennessee lawyer asked the IRS for tax-exempt status for a mentoring group that trained high school and college students about conservative political philosophy, the agency responded with a list of 95 questions in 31 parts, including an ultimatum for a list of everyone the group had trained, or planned to train.

'Provide details regarding all training you have provided or will provide,' the IRS demanded. 'Indicate who has received or will receive the training and submit copies of the training material,' reports the UK Daily Mail.

That question was part of the tax collection agency's February 14, 2012 letter to Kevin Kookogey, founder of the group Linchpins of Liberty. He had submitted his application 13 months earlier.

'Can you imagine my responsibility to parents if I disclosed the names of their children to the IRS?' he asked MailOnline.

It's 'an impossible question to answer fully and truthfully,' he said.

There is a solution.  Abolish the income tax.  But the politicians will never do that because they would lose their power to control your life.


"Soak the Rich."
Republican William Howard Taft and a GOP Congress brought Marxism, the re-distribution of the wealth and class warfare to the U.S. by passing the income tax amendment to the Constitution.

In 1909 Republican President William Howard Taft urged a Congress with heavy Republican majorities to pass the income tax 17th Amendment and make the Marxist re-distribution of wealth the law of the land.

In an act of naked Marxism and class warfare the GOP promised to "tax the rich" and re-distribute that wealth to others in society with "needs." Never mind the nation had been doing just fine since 1776 without an income tax.

The Republican political hacks said not to worry. Only the very, very top earners would have to pay. Another lie to the simple minded who then sold their votes in return for the chance to legally steal other people's money.


To this day we are still waiting for the "small government" GOP to pass a flat income tax.  It will never happen because the Republican Party are the ones who made the progressive, soak the rich income tax the law of the land in the first place.




Anti-EU "Alternative for Germany" takes on Conservatives


A delegate of Germany's anti-euro party "Alternative fuer Deutschland" (Alternative for Germany) waves
a German flag during the first party congress in Berlin.

Merkel's "Conservative" Christian Democrats are in trouble with real Conservatives
  • Voters are frustrated when they vote for Conservatives on election day only to end up with "moderate" big spending Socialists.


With less than five months to go before parliamentary elections in Germany, a new political party that is calling for an end to the European currency union is gaining strength.

The party, Alternative for Germany, held its first formal party congress on Sunday at a Berlin hotel. It has emerged as a wild card ahead of the September elections and poses a potential threat to Chancellor Angela Merkel’s re-election prospects.

Chancellor Angela Merkel
just another big spending Socialist

The new party is driven by a collection of elites, not a groundswell from the streets, starting with Bernd Lucke, 50, a Hamburg economics professor. 

Lucke, along with many of the new party’s supporters, previously belonged to Merkel’s conservative Christian Democratic Union before the Greek bailouts forced him to reconsider reports the New York Times.
      
“We want to put an end to the flagrant breach of democratic, legal and economic principles that we have seen in the past three years, because Chancellor Merkel’s government said there is no alternative,” Lucke told more than 1,500 supporters on Sunday. “Now it is here, the Alternative for Germany.”

Lucke says the euro is dividing Europe rather than uniting it, as the single currency was meant to do. He has the support of a group of fellow academics who filed a case before Germany’s Federal Constitutional Court against the bailouts.


'Euro dead, stop the surgery' - Alternative for Germany Party
Anti-euro sentiment is going mainstream in Germany - with the launch of a new party dedicated to pulling the plug on the struggling single currency. The group - called 'Alternative for Germany' - says it has already received thousands of membership requests.




Alternative for Germany Party
Right-of-center voters are tired of phony big spending "Conservatives" like
Merkel and Britain's David Cameron.


For months, the Conservative CDU and the Free Democrat Party have sought to ignore the Alternative for Germany in the hopes that it would simply disappear as so many anti-euro movements have in the past. Instead, though, the party has quickly grown. Earlier this month, it surpassed the 10,000 member mark -- just seven weeks after its official founding -- and it has attracted widespread interest among the German electorate.

More worrisome, significant elements within Merkel's CDU have grown uncomfortable with massive bailouts of heavily indebted euro-zone member states, with several conservative lawmakers either abstaining or voting no on aid packages in German parliament last year. While no parliamentarians have yet abandoned the CDU, the Alternative for Germany has proven adept at attracting lower-ranking CDU and FDP members. Just last week, a state lawmaker with the FDP in Hesse named Jochen Paulus switched parties reports Der Spiegel International.

Many see the AfD as a political home representing what German conservatives used to stand for, before Merkel moved the CDU to the center in recent years. And before the euro crisis forced Berlin to embark on the expensive path of saving the common European currency. While most Germans remain favorable toward the euro, a significant number are not -- and many of them are political conservatives.

The fact that AfD head Bernd Lucke is a professor of economics, with many of the other founders working as economists, academics, lawyers or business leaders, has also helped. For one, it lends the party the aura of respectability and expertise. For another, it has helped the party to quickly navigate the various bureaucratic obstacles for establishing a party and getting on the ballot.

Furthermore, even as there have been some complaints that the party has not done enough to clearly define its right-most boundary. Party leadership has also been careful to keep a tight rein on the kind of cranks who often plague new political movements, even if that has meant strict limits on grassroots influence on strategic decisions.


SHARIA LAW - 215 Gays & Lesbians Arrested





An "enlightened" headline from the Kuwait Times.



From Atlas Shrugs:

Sharia in action in Kuwait: 215 gays, lesbians arrested in raids on Internet cafes

Good thing gay activist Chris Stedman came out so strongly against Pamela Geller and me for protesting against Sharia mistreatment of gays, eh? We wouldn't want anyone defending these 215 people arrested in Kuwait, now, would we? That would be "Islamophobic"!

Sharia Alert from modern, moderate Kuwait: "Over 200 homos, lesbians held in countrywide Net cafe raids," from Arab Times, May 14:
KUWAIT CITY, May 13: Personnel from the Criminal Investigation Department during an extensive campaign at Internet cafes and suspicious places in the six governorates have arrested 215 young homosexuals and lesbians of various nationalities, reports Al-Anba daily.

A security source said 30 low rank officers took part in the campaign and some of the arrested persons are believed to be residence law violators and others wanted by law for committing petty crimes or on civil charges and yet others for gambling.

The violators have been referred to the authorities.

It is CYA for Big Brother stooge Eric Holder



Holder Isn't Sure
How Often Reporters' Records Are Seized



The 1984 Police State  -  It is interesting that the mainstream press has been nearly silent about the massive growth of the bi-partisan 1984 surveillance state until the Associated Press was targeted by Big Brother.

Now in a pure cover your ass move Comrade Attorney Gen. Eric Holder says he is not sure how many times such information has been seized by government investigators in the four years he's led Justice.

Pure 100% Bullshit.

During an interview with NPR's Carrie Johnson on Tuesday, Holder was asked how often his department has obtained such records of journalists' work reports NPR.


"I'm not sure how many of those cases ... I have actually signed off on," Holder said. "I take them very seriously. I know that I have refused to sign a few [and] pushed a few back for modifications."

On Morning Edition, Carrie added that Holder declined to say whether there will be a review of the Justice Department's policy on searches of reporters' records.

Tuesday, NPR and other media organizations joined in a letter sent to Holder by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. In it, the news outlets ask that the Justice Department:

— "Immediately return the telephone toll records obtained and destroy all copies, as requested by The Associated Press."

— "Announce whether it has served any other pending news media-related subpoenas that have not yet been disclosed."

At a news conference Tuesday, Holder said the AP records were seized as part of an investigation into leaks about a CIA operation in Yemen that stopped an airliner bombing plot.

He will be asked about the search of the reporters' phone logs at a House Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday afternoon. Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., says "Congress and the American people expect answers and accountability."

New York man arrested for carting 2 extra bullets



The People's Republic of New York
The Socialist Democrats are frightened to death of free men and their rights.


A New York man has the dubious honor of being the first reported arrest for carrying two bullets too many in his otherwise legally authorized ammunition magazine — in violation of the state’s new gun control laws.

Troopers discovered the extra two bullets when they stopped him for a traffic offense: His license plate lamp wasn’t lit, a local newspaper covering New Lebanon, N.Y., reported.

During the course of speaking to the driver, Gregory Dean, 31, of Hopewell Junction, troopers saw a .40 caliber handgun on the front seat. It was registered and legal, but when troopers found its magazine was carrying nine bullets.

The recently passed Secure Ammunition and Firearms and Enforcement Act only allows for seven rounds per magazine, the New Lebanon paper reported.

Dean was arrested on unlawful possession of ammunition, and on aggravated unlicensed operation, as well as charges stemming from his traffic violation, police said in the paper.

114 Tories rebel against David Cameron and the EU



A Kick in the Teeth
114 Tories rejected their Prime Minister and voted in favour a referendum on the European Union
  • The British Conservative Party leadership (like the GOP leadership) thinks they know better than those lowly grassroots supporters of the party.
  • By listening to what the voters want the UKIP ran up 25% of the vote in county and unitary council elections winning nearly 150 seats while the Tories lost 335 seats.


Conservative Party British Prime Minister David Cameron's authority suffered a huge blow when more than 100 Conservative MPs defied him by voting for a referendum on the European Union.
.
Britain moved closer to an in/out referendum as Nick Clegg told MPs: “It is a question of when, not if, because the rules [of the EU] are bound to change.” He believes one is inevitable because a new EU treaty will be needed to entrench eurozone reforms in the next few years.


Some 114 Tories rejected pressure from their whips by opposing the Coalition's legislative programme because it does not offer the public a vote on EU membership.

They backed an amendment to the Queen's Speech regretting the absence of a Referendum Bill. Although it was defeated by 277 votes to 130, it was the biggest backbench revolt on Europe since the 2010 election reports the UK Independent.

The Eurosceptics were delighted by their show of strength. They had feared the number of rebels could be reduced to about 60 after William Hague, the Foreign Secretary, appealed to Tory MPs at their weekly meeting to “put the other parties on the spot.”

Tory officials played down the revolt, insisting it was a free vote because the amendment was in line with party policy. But it was clear that Mr Cameron's decision to rush out a draft Referendum Bill on Tuesday had failed to quell the rebellion.

Douglas Alexander, the shadow Foreign Secretary, said: “This vote is a further devastating blow to the Prime Minister's authority. It demonstrates that David Cameron has managed to turn a Europe issue into a leadership issue. This is a Prime Minister who has lost control of the agenda and tonight lost control of his party.”


SHOCK
The UKIP won elections by listening to what the voters wanted.

ACLU rips into Obama on press spying



America  -  The New Banana Republic
Press intimidation. Warrantless wiretapping. Centralized police power.
Constitution?  What Constitution?


The Obama regime’s atrocious violation against the nation’s free press is the sort of thing you see in communist regimes or dictatorships (like China and Cuba), a deplorable act few imagined would ever take place in the United States.

For a period of two months, the Obama Department of Justice (DOJ) secretly obtained the phone records of reporters and editors at one of the nation’s largest news organizations, the Associated Press (AP), in an apparent effort to pin down the source of a leak. This includes records for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters and editors as well as general office numbers for the news organization in several states. [...] reports Judicial Watch.

No one ever imagined that Big Brother would watch this closely. Even the president’s staunchest supporters, like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which has colluded with the DOJ on a variety of matters, chastised the administration. In a statement posted on its website the famously liberal civil rights group reminds that the media’s purpose is to keep the public informed and it should be free to do so without the threat of unwarranted surveillance.


Surveillance Drones Spying on Civilians






“The Attorney General must explain the Justice Department’s actions to the public so that we can make sure this kind of press intimidation does not happen again,” said Laura Murphy, the director of the ACLU’s Washington D.C. branch. The head of the group’s Speech, Privacy and Technology Project, Ben Wizner, called the DOJ’s violation “an unacceptable abuse of power,” pointing out that freedom of the press is a pillar of our democracy.

Indeed the Obama administration’s actions “shock the American conscience and violate the critical freedom of the press protected by the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights,” according to the Newspaper Association of America, the nonprofit that represents thousands of publications in the U.S. and Canada. “Americans demand a full accounting,” the group’s president says.

Ironically, President Obama loves to celebrate World Press Freedom Day by calling on governments around the globe to protect the ability of journalists, Bloggers and dissidents to write and speak freely without retribution






"Democracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy, such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man's life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable cruelty of one or a very few."
