An Irish MEP has called for a total ban on tobacco products across the European Union within 15 years.
The Netherlands faces the most criminal of paedophilic gangs and a total breakdown of law and order.
Elite of Dutch politicians and Dutch law-enforcement involved.
Government blackmailed for years and years.
Biggest media-cover up in the history of Dutch press.
It is in Dutch however.
My opinion about religion, article and © 2008 by Fred Kolkman:
Religion is like other social institutions in that it is dependent upon the material and economic realities in a given society.
It has no independent history; instead it is the creature of productive forces.
As Karl Marx wrote, “The religious world is but the reflex of the real world".
I have two reasons for disliking religion:
First:, it is irrational — religion is a delusion and a worship of appearances that avoids recognizing underlying reality.
Second:, religion is hypocritical.
Although it might profess valuable principles, it sides with the oppressors.
Jesus advocated helping the poor, but the Christian church merged with the oppressive Roman state, taking part in the enslavement of people for centuries.
In the middle ages the catholic church preached about heaven, but acquired as much property and power as possible.
The same goes for muslim leaders these days; kill non-believers, do as we tell you to do and be rewarded in paradise, 72 virgins are waiting for you.
Religious distress is at the same time the expression of real distress and the protest against real distress.
Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation.
It is the opium of the people.
The problem is that opiates fail to fix a physical injury — you only forget your pain and suffering.
This can be fine, but only if you are also trying to solve the underlying causes of the pain.
Similarly, religion does not fix the underlying causes of people’s pain and suffering — instead, it helps them forget why they are suffering and causes them to look forward to an imaginary future when the pain will cease instead of working to change circumstances now.
Even worse, this “drug” is being administered by the oppressors who are responsible for the pain and suffering.
The Internet community is urged to save and distribute these anti-block instructions!
Webmasters of "vulnerable" websites are urged to put these instructions on their websites AND to urge their visitors to download and save them immediately before the website is blocked and it is too late to tell them!
First find a proxy server.
Simply search the internet for proxy servers.
Even a good proxy server might not work later.
Therefore, learn how to find them.
For these instructions, we will use an proxy server with the technical specs "address 139.223.199.194" and "port 8080".
Then proceed as follows:
Go to SETTINGS.
Go to CONTROL PANEL.
Go to INTERNET.
Check PROXY SERVER.
Enter ADDRESS – 139.223.199.194.
Enter PORT – 8080
That’s it!
In case you remember an address and it's blocked you also might be able to find it back using Internet archive.
Fight censorship, the Internet is ours!
On the Fourth of July, the day Americans celebrate America's liberty and independence, it's worth contemplating how much more free America is than most other nations in the West.
Why?
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. How very much depends on these 45 words:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The First Amendment really does distinguish the U.S., not just from Canada but from the rest of the Western world, says writer Mark Steyn, who's learning it the hard way.
Mr. Steyn and Maclean's, the top-selling Canadian magazine, have faced human rights charges in British Columbia.
Their alleged offense?
Maclean's published a Steyn essay critical of Islam, which prompted Muslim activists to file formal charges accusing the writer and the magazine of violating Canada's hate-speech laws.
Last Friday, the national Human Rights Commission dismissed the charges, but they're still pending in front of a provincial panel.
The victory is less than what it appears.
For one thing, defending against the charges cost the magazine hundreds of thousands of dollars.
For another, it is frightening to think that a human rights panel has the right to decide what can and cannot be published in a free country.
It's not just Canadian critics of Muslims whose speech is under attack.
The Alberta Human Rights Commission ruled that the Rev. Stephen Boissoin had broken the country's hate-speech laws by criticizing homosexuals.
Last month, the panel ordered the minister to pay damages, apologize and desist from criticizing homosexuality for the rest of his life.
Similarly, the Ontario Human Rights Commission recently ordered a large Christian social service ministry to abandon its statement of faith as discriminatory against gays and to send its employees to diversity training.
Free speech also is in trouble in Europe.
Last month, a French court fined actress and animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot $23,000 for violating hate-speech laws.
Complaining about Islamic sheep-slaughtering customs, Ms. Bardot had said Muslims were destroying" France.
In May, British police arrested a teenager for calling Scientology a cult at a peaceful demonstration.
Also that month, police in The Netherlands arrested Dutch cartoonist Gregorius Nekschot on suspicion of incitement to hatred and discrimination for cartoons alleged to be anti-Muslim.
The Dutch police, who have established a branch to investigate cartoons, recently brought in proprietors of a Website critical of multiculturalism to explain comments left on the site.
None of this could have happened in the United States, where the right to say what's on your mind, no matter whose feelings it may hurt, is considered vital to the self-government of a free people.
The First Amendment means that in our liberal democracy, we have to tolerate speech many of us find obnoxious or offensive.
But it affirms that enduring hateful or distasteful oratory is far less dangerous than giving taboos on controversial speech the force of law.
It is not too much to say that all of our freedoms depend on the First Amendment, for if we cannot speak and worship freely, we are on the road to tyranny.
On Independence Day, and every day, we must be grateful for the foresight of the Founders, who understood as no others in their position had before or have since, how sacred freedom of speech is.
When Thomas Jefferson famously said that he would rather have newspapers without a government than government without newspapers, he meant that freely and widely expressed opinions are the true foundation for a successful government of the people, by the people and for the people.
In an observation that cannot be improved upon, the Colonial-era Freeman's Journal editorialized: As long as the liberty of the press continues unviolated, and the people have the right of expressing and publishing their sentiments upon every public measure, it is next to impossible to enslave a free nation.

Comment Fred Kolkman:
This sounds nice but just read how the American system treats one of it's own citizens at THIS site and why, for writing an article!
