Puke: Tax = Theft

Not if you don't mind paying your taxes.

If you, as a representative of the government, ask me for $20 dollars to help run the country, and I gladly give it to you, it cannot be said that you stole it from me.

Not meaning to pick a fight at this hour but I hate the blanket statement that taxes, by their very nature, are always a form of theft. Plenty of citizens have gladly paid more taxes during certain times of crisis when they new that it was a fair and just request.

Now unfair taxation that cannot be changed, through due process, by a state's own citizens...well that's a whole other kettle of fish.

Now, back to cursed voodoo fingers...

Several dozen children from African families living in the UK are killed each YEAR by their families/communities. The Metro police in London have internal gag orders to keep it under wraps. To put it in perspective, UK newspapers have had reports every year for the last decade reporting on African immigrants that have disappeared children.

The UK imported 3rd world nihilist pagans by the hundreds of thousands. And now the UK will reap the results.

Child sacrifices in London
By Richard Edwards Crime Reporter, Evening Standard
16 June 2005

Boys from Africa are being murdered as human sacrifices in London churches.

They are brought into the capital to be offered up in rituals by fundamentalist Christian sects, according to a shocking report by Scotland Yard.

Followers believe that powerful spells require the deaths of "unblemished" male children.

Police believe such boys are trafficked from cities such as Kinshasa where they can be bought for a little as £10.

The report, leaked ahead of its publication next month, also cites examples of

African children being tortured and killed after being identified as "witches" by church pastors.

..........................

.....Lots of crazy stuff going on in the south wards of London these days.

If that was a mistake so be it, i just pulled up one i found on Goggle, but the ritual murders of slave African children is most definitely occurs in London and Manchester.

They are finding the childrens corpses in the south London sewage system.

In September 2001 a gruesome discovery was made in London's River Thames. The hideously mutilated torso of a small black boy was found floating through the city. The boy's arms, legs, and head had all been hacked off.

This article is condemning the stories you are citing for racial bias and a lack of objectivity and context. A brief snip-it:

After reporting a lot of theories and suppositions as fact, the article seems to redeem itself by quoting a Nigerian who states that the crime is intolerable. However, it presents the South African professor as the expert and seems to insinuate that this is the person whose testimony should be trusted, although we are never told what kind of expertise Dr. Schultz has. On the other hand, Temi Olusanya is just a vice chairperson of a development association, and the quote seems to be presented as less reliable because we also do not know what kind of expertise Olusanya has. My point here is that as the result of the tragic murder of a little boy, all the hoary demons of traditional "black continent" analysis in Europe are deployed to show that there are "barbaric" strangers in Europe who have brought in these "voodoo" and "black magic" and "witch-doctoring" practices. Ethnocentrism, xenophobia and nativism are combined and the reporting, whether it's by the Guardian, the BBC, or any other newspaper, or media outlet, totally loses any sense of objectivity".

I love the way the article's written for some reason:

"Although it is understood one of her children had lost part of her hand after suffering renal problems and developing gangrene, DNA test results are now under way to find out who the fingers belong to."

Erm, renal problems can cause part of your hand to fall off? Either way, it shouldn't be that hard to compare, surely? Take fingerprints from the good hand, compare to the loose fingers. Why is DNA necessary in this case, exactly..?

RamblingKey: Goggle

This made me laugh, so I had a quick look at "goggle.com" to see what was there. The name of the site in plain text, unfortunately, not the search engine dedicated to instances of "they do nothing!" that I hoped to see...

And this time you beat me to it. :)

@RamblingKey
Human trafficking is far different from an underground of African immigrants (who are apparently both pagan nihilist and fundamentalist Christians) in the UK practicing human sacrifice and the government conspiring to keep it quiet.

Oh, and your additional links refer the same isolated case.

Well, it could have something to do with the fact that your fingerprints on your left and right hand aren't the same. That's why when the print you, they generally take all ten.

Perhaps it's like the old rule: Trying to fall alseep results in no sleep. Trying to stay aware results in sleep. So in order to get to sleep try to stay awake.

So by NOT sticking needles in nothing I am actually practicing voodoo far more powerful than if I had*.


*Only works with sleep Voodoo (Results will vary).

The Irish have the best PR people in history. Drunks, Bombers, and Family Abuse and we get a bloody holiday.

Amerindians, Africans, and Muslims have many of the same vices and defects (as it were) as the Irish but none of them have pulled off making it 'charming'.
