    19 February 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    To control population movements is one of the States priorities. It is, in particular, to select with care the labour force needed for the economy, and this in a general context of deterioration in the standard of living. This selection requires the reinforcement of imprisonment of people called “undesirable”, border controls and raids, dropping visas and an intensification of the struggle against the ones who in one way or another go against keeping under control population movements. For (…)

  • Testicle Importation
    20 October 2010 par (Open-Publishing)

    By David Glenn Cox
    Those of you who know me well, know I’m a buy American first kind of guy. I don’t drive foreign cars or eat fancy foreign cheeses but you just can’t grow a good Brazil nut in Omaha. There are sometimes when importation is the only answer to a national shortage.
    Don’t ask me why, maybe its the fluoride in the water or all those atom bomb tests back in the 1950’s but this country is facing a serious testicle shortage. It would certainly seem to explain the volume of porn (…)

  • "The Hurt Locker": A victory for women!? The Oscars Academy grants an apology to the US Army!
    8 March 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
    2 comments

    Is a movie that “only” costs $11 million more « politically correct » than a $500 million one?
    They can’t see the trees for the forest.
    Or more bluntly, had the Academy Awards wanted to grant ‘its’ army an Oscar without thinking twice about it?
    People will call it a ‘work of art’, a ‘movie’, ‘without an ulterior motive’ (yes I’ve already read it somewhere...) etc
    On top of it all, was the great March 8th pet theme: “wow it’s awesome, it’s the first women director to get an Oscar” or (…)

    Philippe Marlière
    guardian.co.uk, Thursday 28 January 2010 22.30 GMT
    In the end, it was the Frogs’ fault. It was down to Jacques Chirac’s slippery diplomacy that the US-British-led coalition could not secure a second resolution ­authorising the use of force against Saddam Hussein. This is no tabloid rant but, in substance, Lord Goldsmith’s astonishing account when he appeared (…)
