"What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was
that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who
wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information.
Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to
passivity and egoism.
Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the
truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance.
Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would
become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies,
the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy.
As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and
rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take
into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions".
In 1984, Huxley added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave
New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell
feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we love will
ruin us."
This book is about the possibility that Huxley, not Orwell, was right.

I wonder how many times Harry Hewett was cared for by THE NANNY.
Was he really brought up by Diana. Or did he just think he was..
Anyone who followed the course and substance of Dianas life,
would know that going out off somewhere to kill a load of Muslims
is not what she would have wanted..
Plenty of harry video's here
http://video.news.sky.com/skynews/video/
He really is living in cloud kookooland.
With his group of gerka's for protection 24/7.
Just like joe blow the average squaddie...
A 'Stupid boy'.
A pawn, the Queen and Charles has been happy to play.
For their sakes...
For the sake of Royalty and future Royalty.
Charles sat him down and explained what an opportunity he has for
getting the Public support behind the Royals.
This is, after years and years of getting him to WANT to be in the
British Army.
Right from infancy, Charles was influencing his ambitions.

"Israelis" = HUMAN SHIT !!!!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7270650.stm
Israel's deputy defence minister has said it will be left with "no choice"
but to invade Gaza, if Palestinian militants step up rocket attacks.
Matan Vilnai said Palestinians risked a "shoah", the Hebrew word for a big
disaster - and for the Nazi Holocaust.
Hamas leader Ismail Haniya said it was ready for a large-scale Israeli
attack. Israeli air strikes have killed about 30 Palestinians in the past
three days.
Four Palestinian boys were killed in an Israeli raid as they played in a
field in northern Gaza on Thursday.

"There is only one start you can make, and that is a start toward being
England. A refusal to be a province of Israel, or an outpost of
Yankee-Judaea."
-Ezra Pound

Author admits making up memoir of surviving Holocaust
Globe Staff / February 29, 2008
Eleven years after the publication of her best-selling Holocaust
memoir - a heartwarming tale of a small Jewish girl trekking across
Europe and living with wolves - the Massachusetts author yesterday
admitted the whole story was a hoax.
In a statement issued by her Belgian lawyer, Misha Defonseca of
Dudley, whose book, "Misha: A Memoire of the Holocaust Years," has
been translated into 18 languages and is the basis for a new French
movie, "Survivre avec les Loups" ("Surviving With the Wolves"),
confessed that she is not Jewish and that she spent the war safely in
Brussels.

.....all you feeble-minded and apathetic bleedin-heart right-wingers
start to complain about the immorality of the death sentence on
Chemical Ali just stop for one second, wil you, and remember just what
he did?
And you can argue all you like with your "but there might have been a
miscarriage of justice" and "this makes those issuing the death
senetnce as bad as he is" etc. etc. or "what about his state of mind?"
but truth is that with your constant indecision you align yourselves
absolutely on the side of the likes of him, rather than the victims.
As for domestic heinous criminals like Huntley.....you thinking it's
better to invest £5m on the likes of him is just pathetic. Like most
politicians, of all parties, you demonstrate breath-taking lack of
judgment.
Bring back the death sentence for heinous criminals, once a fair trail
has been conducted....for God's sake how much longer are we going to
keep paying for these 'people'? Let's use that money for something
better.
Wake up.

Yes, because publicly funded BBC etc. are all products of post-war concrete
and glass Frankfurt School mind conditioning. It had, and has, the same
effect as a Madrassa.

By Ben White
Once again, we are learning that when it comes to the conflict in
Palestine/Israel, some lives are worth more than others. Earlier
today, dozens of Qassam rockets fired from the Gaza Strip fell on
Sderot, the Israeli town that has borne the brunt of Palestinian
rocket fire over the last few years. This time, an Israeli man,
"father-of-four" Roni Yechiah, was killed in a car park by shrapnel.
Others have suffered injuries.
Even as I write this, however, there is news that in the Gaza Strip,
the Israeli military, in separate attacks, has killed a 6 month old
baby and three Palestinian children age 10, 12 and 14. No names yet.
In the case of the three children, the Israeli army claims that it was
aiming at militants, and a spokesperson said it was "strange" that
there should be children around the alleged vicinity of rocket
launchers.
