Falkland Islands: Ready for the taking.

How long will the Falkland Islands be Falkland Islands? The question has been raised and looking at the headlines of the press this morning there is every reason to feel unsettled.

Total garrison: 1,200 troops. Total Air Force: 4 Total Naval Deployment: 1

The news is for those who have not been following developments that with the present military capabilities, the United Kingdom will not be able to repel any invasion and following an invasion will not be able to dislodge any invading forces.

President Cristina Fernandez Wilhelm said that during his presidency the Falkland Islands would be taken by Argentina. There are elections in Argentina this year. In 1982, there was a Conservative government in Britain with Margaret Thatcher at the helm when the Conservatives were basically dismantling the British Armed Forces and mothballing its Naval Forces. Incidentally, there is a Conservative government in Britain with David Cameron at the helm and in the last few years they have been dismantling British Armed Forces.

Disabling airfield facilities in Falkland Islands will be extremely easy and once airfield facilities are disabled the Islands will be there for the taking because Britain no longer has a task force and without plane carriers there cannot be air superiority. You know exactly what this means. It means that the new Argentina jets (a much better version than the French Mirage Argentina had in 1982) will be able to reach Falklands Islands, sink any British ships around, and remain in the skies of Falkland Islands for a lot longer than the French Mirage ever could without refueling.

In a desperate attempt, it was announced today that Britain will be beefing up 'Falkland Islands Defenses'.

In 1982, Argentina was a military dictatorship that was at odds with its Chilean counterpart. For that reasons, Argentina could only send mainly conscripts to Falkland Islands being forced to maintain the vast majority of its Armed Forces in Continental Argentina to protect the military dictatorship and to prevent a Chilean attack. Relations with Chile had been strained because of a territorial dispute about the Beagle.

In 2015, there is no military dictatorship in Argentina, there is no strained relations with Chile and the will to retake Falkland Islands is stronger than ever before in a continent that has a very traumatic rapport not just with UK but also with the US. This means that Argentina could a vast amount of professional troops to Falkland Islands and this having learnt the lessons of 1982.

US commits treason against NATO allies

US strategists force Russian withdrawal from treaty that limits Conventional Forces.

The subject did not appear in any of the so called British mass media.

Not long ago, Sergei Borisovich Ivanov, former Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, clearly stated that any conflict in Europe will be decided by Conventional Forces.

Now, forcing Russian out of Treaties limiting numbers of Conventional is as catastrophic a mistake as the mistake Hermann Goering made by targeting British cities instead of targeting RAF airfields.

This literally means that US has committed treason against its NATO allies because no NATO countries have not even a shadow of the military capabilities in terms of Conventional Forces to have anything resembling any kind of balance.

In this state of affairs, Prime Minister David Cameron very well knows that Britain is defenseless in terms of Conventional Forces, incapable of defeating barefooted Taliban fighters travelling on Toyota pick-up trucks.

The whole balance of forces has been thrown into disarray thanks to US stupidity. From now on, thanks to US, there will no limitations in terms of how bigger Russian Federation Conventional Forces can be.

Russian Federation plans to have not less than 2 million men as part of its Armed Forces will be implemented with the advantage that they can be supported by an unlimited number of tanks, airplanes and other tools of war.

But there is an even bigger threat. One of the achievement of President Ronald Reagan and President Mikhail Gorbachev could be thrown into question. If agreements regarding limitations affecting nuclear arsenals are declared void then all treaties regarding nuclear non-proliferation will be void and the world will be truly on the way to nuclear armaments and this will include Developing World nations like Iran, Syria and Venezuela.

EU has no borders

In an European Union of 28 countries, who controls its borders: everybody and nobody.

The announcement by a Greek politician and member of the ruling coalition that Greece will open its borders to anybody wanting to reach the European Union - including those suspected of involvement in Islamic Terrorism - should the deal concerning Greek debt fall apart is a worrying development but it is not new.


In certain EU countries, EU passports have been for sale in the open market for quite a long time to the point that as soon as somebody gets access to any of the 28 countries that today make up the European Union the said person has access to the entire European Union, including the United Kingdom.

There were no border controls regarding citizens of member countries and there are de facto no border controls regarding people coming from outside the European Union and this is a self-evident issue of National Security. As soon as you get right of residence or nationality in any of the EU countries you have access to the entire EU.

Tre Azam: Did he really want to talk with the British National Party?

Some years ago, Tre Azam, became notorious as one of the competitors in The Apprentice with Sir Alan Sugar, a programme broadcast by the BBC.

Later on, in 2008, we has taken to court and convicted of fraudulent welfare claims and sentenced to 80 hours of community service.

Today, Tre Azam's videos appear on YouTube and Community Channel, videos in which he condemns the British National Party as being 'anti-Islam' and ask members of the Muslim Community to engage in the democratic process.

In one of his videos, Tre Azam says that he was making an effort to contact the British National Party and ask about party policies regarding Muslims and Islam and stated that he had not been able to find any British National Party representative ready and willing to talk to him.

Unknown to him, the British National Party had been trying to contact him directly via Community Channel and LBC Radio (it is known that some time ago Tre Azam presented a programme on LBC radio on Saturdays).

Recently, messages were sent to Sofia Couceiro (producer for Community Channel) and James Rea (in charge of News for LBC radio). Twitter and Facebook messages were sent to Tre Azam.

There seems to be a pattern in terms of the mass media or individuals saying that they cannot contact the British National Party when in fact the British National Party is always available but gets very few requests for interviews.

A British National Party representative told us that they wanted to talk with Tre Azam but that unfortunately Tre Azam had not tried to contact them.

The British National Party has points of contact across the United Kingdom and in London, Steve Squire - London Regional Organiser - has always been available to provide information and respond to mass media requests.

If UK had listened to Russia, more than 50 people would not have been killed in London in 2005

If British Security Services had listened to what the Russian Security Services were telling them, more than 50 people would not have died in July 2005.

Despite all the warmongering and lies against the Russian Federation, Russian Security Services have continued their cooperation with US and UK in the fight against Islamic Terrorism.

We transcribe what was said by Alexandr Bornitkov, head of FSB.

The professional cooperation between special services must continue despite the strained relations between nations, the head of Russia’s Federal Security Service said during his visit to the United States.

Aleksandr Bortnikov told reporters in Washington DC that it was impossible to solve political contradictions without using all the special services’ capabilities. “This is a very important aspect that acts as a foundation of everything that can have further positive impact on the situation.”

The FSB director emphasized he hopes the current period of complicated relations between Russia and the United States will eventually end.

“Our primary task is prevention. There is full understanding of our position on the part of our partners with whom we have met and communicated. And there is also the will to continue and deepen the fruitful cooperation,” the Russian official told reporters.

Bortnikov praised US special services for their knowledge of the real situation in hot spots around the world and for their ability to affect this situation. He added that Russia was interested not only in information exchange, but also in joint operations. The FSB chief explained that recent examples of such useful and effective cooperation included the joint work at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, during which special services prevented several terrorist attacks against Russian citizens in foreign countries.

The top security official said that Russia was also interested in cooperation with the United States in the common fight against the Islamic State (IS, previously known as ISIS and ISIL). He added that the existing exchange of intelligence data was already helping to achieve a positive result in this direction.

He noted that counter-terrorist forces around the world are equally concerned by the fact that many extremists get training and combat experience in the IS ranks, and can later infiltrate Western countries and Russia. “We must plan our work to prevent their trips and also do everything to prevent terrorist attacks after these citizens return to their home countries,” Bortnikov said.

“At the current moment about 100 nations are involved in the conflict taking place in Iraq. The number of foreign mercenaries fighting for ISIL has risen from 13,000 to 20,000 according to our rough estimations,” the FSB director said. The number of Russian citizens fighting in Iraq is about 1700, twice as many as a year ago, he added.

Bortnikov also told the press that the current anti-Russian sanctions campaign didn’t have a big impact on the work of special services. “As we have met, we have repeatedly discussed the issues that could affect our cooperation and we always came to the conclusion that our interaction should not be politicized in any way.”

At the same time, the FSB director pointed out that “the constant press of sanctions” was harming mutual security.

The international conference on extremism in Washington DC lasted three days and united officials from 65 countries and 10 international organizations. The participants agreed to continue their work at the UN General Assembly session in September.

Conservatives talk about cutting benefits for children and young unemployed

With Ed Miliband talking about making Britain 'more like France' and David Cameron talking about cutting benefits for children and unemployed youths, both present and future look grim for millions of people.

France is being destroyed by unemployment and a rising tide of terrorist attacks and Britain call sub-employment that does not pay for pensions nor allows people to have decent living standards 'employment'.

The so-called buoyant economy is nothing of the sort. You don't even need to scratch the surface to see that millions of so-called jobs are a recipe for disaster.

Politicians have even stopped talking about the 'pensions gap' because the gap has become a gigantic hole when more and more people don't save for pensions because they simply don't have enough to pay for their daily expenses.

The mass media focus public attention on what is happening in Greece and this is a well-planned premeditated approach not to see what is happening in Britain.

Labour allowed in more than 10 million people and both Conservatives and Labour promoted flood immigration for different reasons. For the Conservative Party, flood immigration was the recipe to lower salaries and for Labour it was a means to get more Labour voters.

In the end, Conservative greed and Labour's stupidity have created an unsolvable problem and with every passing day things are getting worse. Firstly, people could not afford to pay for mortgages. Now, people cannot even afford to rent.

Working on 'zero hour contracts' or on commission, with unstable and badly paid pseudo jobs, the young are going to lose that last bit of help they had left.

A typical family gets about 20 Pound a week for the first child and about 13 Pound a week for a second child. Given prices in the economy and given what people get as income, it is less than peanuts.

When the Conservative Party talks about 'saving', you know that the most vulnerable are going to suffer and the worst bit of all is that there is not going to be any savings at all. The monies taken away from those in need are going to be squandered somewhere else.

Why do people join IS?

Why do people join Islamic State? The question can be answered by posing another question: why did people join the Crusades?

There is obviously something missing in so called modern society. As religions in the Western World are eroded by changing customs and ways of life, there is a thirst for certainty, whatever that certainty might be.

It does not surprise me the fact that converts to Islam seem to be more fanatical that those who have grown up in Islam from birth. They seem to be more desperate to seek something they can strongly identify with, something that provides them a sense of purpose, a life mission and a distinct identity, something to fall on to face the uncertainties of modern life.

Looking at Christian churches we see that less and less people profess the faith. They either don't have the time or the inclination to go the church on a regular basis and most churches not even bother to go out in search of followers. Nuclear families are disappearing and the number of people living on their own is growing and growing.

The usual question is: do you know your neighbours? How often do you have any kind of social interaction with your neighbours? How much of a community is out there? We are much too busy, we are much too worried, or we are simply not interested. Islam capitalizes on our lack of sense of community, on our selfishness and our lack of interests and those who are desperate for the sense of community that we have lost flock towards Islam.

There are two factors involved: 1) Islamic families tend to have more children because they have closer families that can support the younger generations that have children. 2) People from outside Islam are joining Islam because it provides that Christianity used to offer.

Unfortunately, there are strings attached. Unlike Christianity, Islam has stricter codes of conduct that can also lead to abuses and the search for certainty and the need to belong can be used for purposes that are less than altruistic. People who are naturally vulnerable can therefore be indoctrinated and reach a point of no return when reason is replaced by unconditional obedience and fanatical attitudes.

Such unconditional obedience and fanatical attitudes are not the monopoly of Islam. Certain sects and Christian cults share this attributes of unconditional obedience and fanaticism. The common element is the existence of emotionally vulnerable individuals willing to sacrifice their individuality in search of certainties that they desperately need.

In order to belong they are even ready to lose their lives and this is not knew either. The Japanese Kamikaze and the suicide bomber share the commitment to pay the ultimate price. There is a clearly defined enemy, a mission and the will to end the lives to accomplish the said mission. The Kamikaze sacrificed himself driven by love to his country. The suicide bomber sacrifices himself or herself driven by the strength of religious beliefs. The Templar knights went as far as becoming warriors that put aside their carnal instincts in their quest to achieve what was perceived as their sacred mission.

Instead of demonizing our enemies we should strive to understand what motivates them to act, what are the driving forces that lead them to commit what we consider to be atrocities against mankind. Beheading and massacres are not merely atrocities. There is a strong sense of Idealism behind the most cruel acts. There is a message that needs to be decoded.
