A Red Rebel Hit Job on Geert Wilders

H/T PI Article lifted Verbatim from PI News

Joost van der Valk and Mags Gavan

A Dutch film-making outfit known as Red Rebel Films has recently approached various European and American anti-jihad activists and asked to interview them for a documentary about Geert Wilders. The filmmakers have described their project as an objective look at the Dutch politician, and not an attack piece.

By Sukarno

So who are Red Rebel Films? What do we know about their objectivity when it comes to the subject of their upcoming documentary?

According to the Red Rebel website:

RedRebel Films is dedicated to filmmaking that promotes change. We uncover stories that need to be told and produce cutting edge programmes that enlighten, challenge, and provoke opinion.

[…]

RedRebel Films is a multi award winning documentary company formed in 2007 by filmmakers Mags Gavan and Joost van der Valk.

Nothing alarming here so far. They are based in London, Cardiff, and Amsterdam. Their experience in film is outlined on their “About” page:

When Mags eventually left BBC and joined forces with Joost, they dedicated their careers to making hard hitting films with a purpose, and set up RedRebel.

[…]

Immediately they began making cutting edge current affairs documentaries such as Kashmir’s Missing Men (about the independence struggle in Indian Kashmir).

Their site, however, fails to mention that the film about Kashmir has a pro-Muslim point of view. Does this provide a clue about Red Rebel’s attitude towards Wilders?

When he sent emails to people that he wanted to interview, Joost van der Valk explained that his film company was working on a programme for Dutch Television (VPRO) about the PVV and other similar parties which strongly oppose Islam in Europe. Continue Reading →

England. Orwell files #264

Here is an article by Melanie Phillips on leftism and how it is destroying individual freedoms in England. She must be the only one surprised by this. Leftism is designed to destroy individualism and liberalism and to pave the way for a totalitarian state, caving in to man’s second lowest instinct, sanctimony and the desire to control ones neighbours behaviours for their own good of course.

The number of articles published or republished here on Vlad alone this past seven days on the fascist decisions by the British political class or its constabulary is too large to consider them to be exceptions but clearly indicate a policy at work. One of galloping statism, irrational leftism and the deliberate destruction of a traditional England and any kind of real liberalism.

In any case, Melanie Phillips lists quite a few more and gives passing mention to a few that we caught as well here.

British people are forming movements such as the EDL etc. to fight the encroachment of Islam in the UK, and understandably so, as clearly their religious rights are, to quote Ms. Phillips quoting Animal Farm, “more equal than others” but as I see it in England, the real danger is the leftist political class. The ones who acquiesce to every Muslim demand, pass laws against mentioning Muslim terrorism even when the terrorists themselves make videos explaining their obligation to religious Islamic Jihad, and making life for Christians unbearable.

I beg the good people at the EDL and other groups concerned about England to look at home first.

MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer is in fact a true racist.

Posted on by

This woman, as we hear in this clip, ties actual racial aspects such as skin colour and so on, with belief.

I mean if a person does not act on belief then what do they act on? She seems to think that race and behavior are tied together. In fact, that would be the most succinct definition of racism one can make. Also, you can hear the subtext that she was clearly wishing that the NYT bomber was a white Christian, also a clear racial issue at least in terms of the perp being white, but certainly she was hoping that the perp had no ‘ties to Islam.’

Remember, MSNBC is the same channel that actually hijacked one black mans protest against Obama’s health care bill to make him look like a white racist who hated having a black president.

England really did go commie.

This is beyond belief. Which is saying something as there is not a week that goes by where something happens in England which is not beyond belief. British people should be rioting in the streets over this. It is not as unsubtle an issue as a giant mosque in Dudley etc. but is massively important in terms of a government right out of control, and a people being run by Marxist dogma but not being told. In the nicest possible way people, and from someone who truly loves England, what is wrong with you guys?

Pensioner’s red, white, and blue anti-MP election protest poster is branded ‘racist’ by police

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 1:10 PM on 1st May 2010

A pensioner who put up a red, white and blue election poster telling voters to kick out MPs was accused of racism by police.

After being inundated by canvassing politcians, Roy Newman, 74, decided to tell other voters: ‘GET THE LOT OUT.’

But 90 minutes after he put up the homemade sign up in an upstairs room at his house, two police officers arrived and threatened with arrest.

Spelling trouble: Roy Newman with his anti-MP poster that led to an arrest threatSpelling trouble: Roy Newman with his anti-MP poster that led to an arrest threat

They said the Union Jack-coloured lettering on a white background could be considered ‘racist’.

He was told there had been a single complaint and he was ordered to remove it or change it otherwise he would end up in court .

But the former Tory councillor, from North Anston, near Rotherham, South Yorkshire, said police had misunderstood his message.

He said : ‘My sign is up there because the MPs and council leadership we have in place at the moment are a load of rubbish and I want them out, nothing more.

‘The police told me that due to the fact that the words were written in red and blue and the background was white, my sign had racist connotations. Continue Reading →

Typically we resist the temptation to post anything to do with US politics unless it crosses the line clearly into the realm of irrational leftism or Islamic advancement on Western Liberal democracy.

That line appears to be more and more difficult to draw.

In that spirit, I welcome readers to click over to this site and watch the videos and read the analysis of this peculiar tactic used on a Tea Party and comment as to why this may not be what it appears to be. I really hope the article is missing some salient fact. Like 50% of the Tea Party attendees where former members of a terrorist group bent on the destruction of the USA like I dunno, the weather underground maybe? Something like that.

‘We Refuse to Be Muslims By Force’ Say Egyptian Christian Twin-Boys After Losing Court Case

Posted on by

(AINA)

— On March 30 an administrative judicial court in Egypt dismissed a lawsuit filed by Mrs. Camilia Lutfi, mother of the Coptic Christian twins boys Mario and Andrew, against the Interior Minister, and the director of the Civil Status Department for refusing to re-instate the Christian religion on their birth certificates, and invalidate those which were forcefully changed to “Islam” in 2005 by their father Medhat Ramsis Labib, who had converted to Islam.

After his conversion, Andrew and Mario became Muslims in what is called “Islamization by dependence,” by which children follow the religion of a converted parent (to Islam only) until they reach the age of puberty (fifteen), because Islam is “the best among all religions,” according to Egyptian Court rulings.

The purpose of Lutfi’s litigation was to restore back to her twins their identity as Christians, before reaching the age of 16 in June, when they will have their national ID cards issued. Camilia said that because of the developments in their case, her worst nightmares would materialize, in which they would have Islam as religious affiliation on their ID cards. “If they change to Christianity after that, they will be considered apostates,” she told Freecopts advocacy. She expressed her surprise at the intransigence of the judiciary in dealing with the issue of her sons, especially after they have already reached the legal age of 15-years, when they can choose their own religion. “The boys have lived this tragedy for the last ten years, through no fault of their own.”

ElYoum 7 Newspaper reported that 15-years-old Mario and Andrew were extremely disappointed with the court verdict, saying “faith is not by force, we want to remain Christians and we do not wish to become Muslims.” Both boys are practicing Christians and were consecrated last year as deacons in their regular church in Alexandria.

The court explained in its verdict, which was issued on April 14, that Camilia Lutfi has not presented a verdict from a relevant court (it did not say which court) proving the change of her sons’ religion from Islam to Christianity. “How come that when their father changed their religion from Christianity to Islam, he required no court verdict, and now that they want to revert back to Christianity, the court requires a verdict?” she told Freecopts.

Somehow, that cretin Galloway is back in the news again.

Posted on by

Galloway is a two bit carny. He has a cheap dog and pony show that plays in the political sticks and thats it. About a year ago, Galloway pretended to be turned away from Canada and made himself into a free speech martyr even though in fact he never attempted to get in at all. His own government in the UK warned him that he might be denied entry in Canada because he violated the terrorism funding laws, which he did indeed do with great publicity and fanfare. Then, he tried to claim Canada turned him away for his political views.

Quite the load.

And now, he is attempting to get back in the limelight as a sort of martyr using Canada as his false flag.

Well I recommend you read three people on this, who have covered it rather well.

1. Blazing Cat Fur:

2. Gay and Right

3. Terry Glavin, probably the most intelligent and if I may say, honourable journalist in Canada. He doesn’t write about a thing unless he has actually researched and understands it. He calls himself a leftist, but his views ultimately reflect the Jeffersonian liberalism of the current right wing rather splendidly as a result.

Here below is a clip from Blazing Cat Fur. I must say I remember when the CBC was a news organization to be proud of. Now, it sends out sneering, post modernist reporters versed only in critical theory. You can see clearly on her face her preconceived notions of who she is talking to, who she sides with, and what she thinks she knows.

Infantile and horribly offensive – the FO’s insult to the Pope is a dismal reflection of what Britain’s become

Posted on by

From Melanie Phillips.

Has someone been slipping some kind of illegal substance into the Foreign Office officials’ tea?

In preparing for the Pope’s visit to Britain later this year, British diplomats circulated a memo which put forward a bizarre and highly offensive list of ‘ideal’ ways in which Benedict XVI might occupy his time in Britain, as well as other events to mark his visit.

These included launching a range of ‘ Benedict’ condoms and inviting the Pope to open an abortion clinic or bless a gay marriage.

The diplomats also suggested he might launch a helpline for abused children, apologise for the Spanish Armada or sing a song with the Queen for charity.

Sikhs must ditch turban to join firearms, riot teams.

From The Telegraph U.K.

Sikh police banned from joining firearms teams wearing turbans

Sikh police officers will be banned from allowed to join firearms or riot teams unless they remove their turbans, under new police guidance.

The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) announced Sikh officers serving in the units would have to ditch the traditional head covering in favour of a patka – a smaller piece of material – in order to wear bulletproof helmets.

The turbans were deemed ”unsafe” because they cannot fit under the protective headgear and do not themselves offer sufficient protection.

ACPO rejected the notion of designing a special bullet proof turban made from ballistic material, but said such equipment was worthy of ”future exploration”.

The guidance was issued after the British Sikh Police Association (BSPA) requested clarification on whether their officers could join firearms and public order units. Continue Reading →

The Myth of ‘stolen Palistinian Land’

Posted on by

It is my opinion that, as it has been said in the past, “Truth is the first casualty of war.” as such, the current war on the Jews waged world wide and especially hard at Western universities, it is widely accepted that the ‘Jews’ have perpetuated some kind of injustice on the Arab or Muslim peoples of the general area of Israel. Below, is a trailer for a fantastic documentary on exactly this subject. I post this as a kind of preview, as it is my expectation, that tonight or tomorrow, I will be uploading a documentary from French CBC in Canada, about the ‘Israel Lobby’ and how disproportionately powerful it is.

I have not yet seen it, but from what I have heard, it is the kind of ‘gas-in-the-truck on the way to Chrystal Nacht’ one would expect in pre war Germany.

This was shown on Canadian State TV, although granted, the sitting government does not directly influence what CBC shows when it is a conservative government.

In any case, its good to post a little truth now and again, and while we are still allowed to.

Mulsim shoe tossing sanctioned as cultural ‘symbolic’ gesture

From The Telegraph U.K.

Muslim protesters ‘will be allowed to throw their shoes’

The Metropolitan Police has quietly sanctioned the throwing of shoes by Muslim protesters on the grounds that it is “a symbolic” political gesture rather than a criminal act of violence.

Published: 7:30AM BST 12 Apr 2010

The ruling emerged after a judge in the case of Aquib Salim, 21, a student who threw a shoe during last year’s Gaza protests in London dismissed a charge of violent disorder for the act.

His comments, at Isleworth Crown Court, mean that many of the 70 mainly Muslim protesters charged with violent disorder following the protests outside the Israeli embassy could also escape prosecution if they threw shoes rather than other missiles.

It has since been confirmed by the Crown Prosecution Service that the judge’s decision was based partly on guidance issued by police in 2008 shortly after an Iraqi journalist threw a shoe at George Bush during a press conference in Baghdad.

It has led to an increase in the practice, with protesters hurling shoes at Downing Street and at the US consulate in Edinburgh during the Gaza protests.

Chris Holt, Salim’s solicitor, said his client was likely to escape with a suspended sentence for another offence of throwing a stick at police – an offence to which he pleaded guilty.

“The court accepted that the earlier shoe-throwing incident was simply a ritual form of protest and therefore not a criminal act of violence,” he said.

The form of protest is based on the Muslim belief that shoes and particularly their soles are unclean.

Lindsey German, of the Stop the War coalition which has led a series of protests against the Iraq and Afghan wars, said the group sought advice from police on shoe-throwing for a protest outside Downing Street after the Baghdad protest.

“They said that was OK and there was a facility allowed for people to bring old pairs of shoes. Afterwards, they joked that they didn’t realise we were going to throw the shoes so hard,” she told The Sunday Times.

Female staff who follow the Islamic faith will be allowed to cover their arms to preserve their modesty despite earlier guidance that all staff should be “bare below the elbow”.

The Department of Health has also relaxed rules prohibiting jewellery so that Sikh members of staff can wear bangles linked with their faith, providing they are pushed up the arm while the medic treats a patient.

The Mail on Sunday reported the change had been made after female Muslims objected to being required to expose their arm below the elbow under guidance introduced by Alan Johnson when he was health secretary in 2007. Continue Reading →

This week’s “Tales from the ‘Freedom’ files”

Posted on by

This week’s stories remind us once again of how ‘old fashioned’, rational thought is being replaced by ‘progressive’, irrational ideology. The Loony Left in its mission to create a better, more thoughtful world continues to cast aside what they consider the useless notions of public consultation, debate and majority consent in favour of their gentler, wiser, dictatorial approach. Initially we at vladtepesblog were reluctant to post these stories, as we felt they may provide more data for the social engineers of our cities to expand their role of government interference in our personal choices and anything else enjoyable. Quickly concluding they will rail on regardless, we got over it. Enjoy.

#1 From Finland. (Telegraph)  Finnish Postal Service to Open Mail, Send Scanned e-Mail Copies. In a bid to both reduce CO2 emissions and the present number of postmen, Finland will begin opening household mail. Intimate love letters, payslips, overdue bills and personal messages will not be spared under the new voluntary, controversial scheme. Itella, the state owned company which runs the Nordic country’s postal system insists the highly automated process of converting letters to electronic documents will be conducted under ‘special secured premises’ where staff are bound by strict confidentiality conditions. Director at Itella Tommi Tikka, likens the move to web banking. But others vehemently disagree, comparing the initiative to what the KGB did in it’s time in the Soviet Union and the Stasi in East Germany. But Finns who long for the tactile touch and scent of real stationary need not worry; once their mail has been opened and scanned, it will be returned to it’s envelope(s) and delivered in normal fashion with the postman delivering only twice per week.

#2 From The U.K. (Telegraph) Teachers Ordered To Smile at Students. Teachers at Buile Hill Visual Arts College in Salford received a memo from a senior staff teacher telling them to begin each school day with a smile and to avoid making students ‘bored’ by setting words that are either too hard or too easy. The demand is part and parcel of a broader government initiative listing pupil entitlements and issues arising from “student voice discussions” giving children more power in respect of their schooling. iPhones have been issued to some students at a secondary school in Kent enabling them to instantly report on teachers. In one instance, a candidate for a teaching position was asked during an interview by a student panel to sing Michael Jackson’s Bad and after refusing to do so, was not offered the job. The most recent episode involved a head teacher who was forced out of her new role after a Facebook campaign by pupils angry at her appointment. Teachers are now being told, “Don’t be surprised if you are asked to explain your actions if you are found in violation of the agreed expectations”.

#3 From Canada. (CBC News)  Smoking Ban Floats at Vancouver’s Beaches, Parks. Keeping in line with Canada’s compulsion for bans, the Vancouver Park Board is considering outlawing smoking at beaches, parks and playgrounds. Smoking is already banned in all public buildings, bus shelters and near open windows and entrances in British Columbia. In an online survey conducted last year, over 600 people responded with 90% in favor of some type of smoking restriction in parks and on beaches. Park Board commissioner Raj Hundal said a total ban is one option up for discussion at a board meeting to be held April 19. He added ” I think the public is demanding we look at the issue. Whether it will be an outright ban or a modified version of the (existing) ban, we owe it to the public to examine the issue and make a decision from there”. Neighboring North Vancouver, White Rock and West Vancouver already have smoking restrictions at beaches and parks.

#4 From Denmark. (Reuters)  Solidarity Strike for Suds at Carlsberg. Warehouse and driver staff at the Danish brewery Carlsberg halted work for a second day Thursday protesting a company decision which would limit beer drinking to lunch breaks. In response to the introduction of new rules for employees on beer drinking at work and seeing refrigerators emptied of pints, over 800 workers walked off the job in protest with other staff striking in sympathy. Drivers retain an old right to 3 beers per day outside lunch hours and warehouse workers claimed the same right. Jens Bekke, spokesman at the world no.4 brewer said there would be no shipments from Copenhagen with delays in the rest of the country. The financial effect of the strike is set to be minor.

The strike in Denmark followed the company's April 1 decision to introduce new rules for employees on beer drinking at work. Suzanne Plunkett/Bloomberg News

*** and the story we almost forgot…..***

From The U.K. (Telegraph)  BNP Teachers Should Be Banned. Activists from the National Union of Teachers (NUT) has said that members of the British National Party should be banned from the classroom. A  motion to the conference called for ‘united action’ against the BNP and other groups such as the English Defence League with an amendment to the resolution demanding an all-out ban.

The comment follows the publication of a government review which said there was no justification for banning teachers from joining extremist organizations. BNP members are already banned from working as prison officers and activists insist the same ban be applied to the education service. Jean Roberts a delegate from Hammersmith and Fulham, west London said that although she opposes BNP’s views and that any teacher who promotes racist views should be barred from the classroom, she doesn’t agree that the state should bar teachers from joining any presently legal political party. “ To remove such a basic civil right, the right of association, something trade unionists hold precious, is in my view a grossly disproportionate response” she said.

Responding, BNP communications officer Paul Golding said “ It’s a dangerous road to go down, once you start banning political beliefs. Isn’t that the sort of thing always lambasted by democratic politicians, banning people based on (their) political beliefs?”.
