Systems Toxicology of Male Reproductive Development: Profiling 774 Chemicals for Molecular Targets and Adverse Outcomes
By Leung, Maxwell C. K.; Phuong, Jimmy; Baker, Nancy C.; Sipes, Nisha S.; Klinefelter, Gary R.; Martin, Matthew T.; McLaurin, Keith W.; Setzer, R. Woodrow; Darney, Sally Perreault; Judson, Richard S.; Knudsen, Thomas B.
Exposure to chemicals during prenatal development may increase the risk of adverse outcomes, and biomonitoring studies suggest pregnant women are exposed to multiple environmental chemicals (Woodruff et al. 2011). Adverse trends in male developmental reproductive health have been reported for rates of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT), low semen quality, and relatively common human developmental defects such as undescended testes (cryptorchidism) and malformations of the genital tubercle (e.g., hypospadias) (Sharpe and Skakkebaek 2008; Virtanen et al. 2005).
The testicular dysgenesis syndrome (TDS) hypothesis posits an interrelationship among these adverse outcomes, as manifestations of altered prenatal testicular development in humans (Aschim et al. 2004; Bay et al. 2006; Biggs et al. 2002; Kaleva and Toppari 2005; Scott et al. 2007; Sharpe and Skakkebaek 2008; Skakkebaek et al. 2001). Epidemiological studies, however, provide scant support for a shared mechanistic origin of the four elements contributing to the TDS hypothesis (decreased sperm counts/infertility/subfertility, and common developmental defects such as cryptorchidism and hypospadias, and increasing incidences of TGCT) (Akre and Richiardi 2009). On the other hand, human studies have reported associations between at least some adverse outcomes of male reproductive tract development: shortened anogenital distance (AGD) in boys with undescended testis (Jain and Singal 2013); reduced AGD/ penile length in patients with hypospadias or cryptorchidism (Thankamony et al. 2014); and TGCT with cryptorchidism/hypospadias/ genital malformations (Trabert et al. 2013). The TDS hypothesis is difficult to test experimentally because of the inaccessibility of the fetal testis during formation and organization (8-12 weeks gestation), the lengthy period between induction and manifestation of some adult outcomes (20-45 years), the lack of definitive etiology for prenatal studies underlying hypospadias/cryptorchidism, and the lack of animal models for TGCT (Sharpe and Skakkebaek 2008).
Evidence for reduced androgenicity in the human TDS hypothesis comes from linkage studies correlating TDS elements to familial mutations in the androgen receptor (AR) (Lottrup et al. 2013). Studies using animal models of prenatal endocrine dysfunction have shown increased incidence rates for cryptorchidism, hypospadias, and low sperm quality following exposure to environmental compounds that may be acting through an anti-androgenic mode of action (Gray et al. 2006; Hu et al. 2014; Mylchreest et al. 1998, 2000, 2002; Sharpe and Skakkebaek 2008; Virtanen et al. 2005; Wilson et al. 2008). For example, exposure of pregnant rats to dibutyl phthalate (DBP) during the critical period of male reproductive development resulted in reduced AGD, increased cryptorchidism and hypospadias, testicular atrophy with germ cell loss, and weight reductions in the epididymis, seminal vesicles, and prostate (Mylchreest et al. 1998, 2000). Exposure of pregnant rats to di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) resulted in abnormal testes development with large aggregates or clusters of Leydig cells in the interstitial spaces, multinucleated germ cells in the seminiferous cords, and significant reductions in testosterone levels in the fetal rat testis (Parks et al. 2000). Phthalates may increase testicular testosterone production (low-dose effect) in fetal rats, but higher dosages decrease testosterone production in the fetal testis, thereby leading to reduced AGD and increased rates of cryptorchidism (Ge et al. 2007). The effect on fetal testosterone production has been linked to reduced expression of steriodogenic enzymes (CYP17, CYP11a, StAR) and insulin-like 3 (INSL3) (Wilson et al. 2008). INSL3, a Leydig cell hormone that drives development of the gubernaculum, may underlie phthalate-induced cryptorchidism (Johnson et al. 2010). These findings support the connectivity to prenatal disruption of androgen signaling (AR mutations in the human TDS hypothesis) or androgen homeostasis (phthalate syndrome in rats) during the critical period of sexual differentiation. …

Q: set remote sharing prefs in terminal I am admin for department and I want to batch change the "show remote management status in menu bar" so that I don't have to log in to each machine and set it.
I have ARD so I can run a terminal command across all machines I just can't seem to find out how to set that option through the terminal
Could anyone tell me how to do that ? or if it's even possible ?

A: The easiest tool to set these settings programatically is the kickstart script that Apple ships:

sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -help

Do read the help since, it warns This script can be used to grant very permissive incoming access permissions.  Do not use the -activate and -configure features unless
you know exactly what you're doing.
That being said, you will want to set a variable $ObserveUser for each user that should be shown a menu indication that screen observation is in progress:

sudo kickstart -configure -access -on -privs -ShowObserve -users $ObserveUser

Charlie Hebdo: Al-Qaeda Claims Responsibility For Attack, French Comedian Arrested For Sympathizing With Gunman (DETAILS)
Christina Coleman
A week after two masked gunmen stormed the Paris office of satirical publication Charlie Hebdo, killing 12, Al-Qaeda's branch in Yemen is claiming responsibility for the attack.
The group formally announced their involvement, saying the target was chosen by the Al-Qaeda leadership in response to the controversial images of the Prophet Muhammad illustrated on many of Charlie Hebdo's covers. The group also called the two brothers who carried out the attack "two heroes of Islam."
According to the New York Times:
A statement by the official publication arm of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which is based in Yemen, indicated that the attack on Charlie Hebdo was in response to the publication's frequent caricatures lampooning the Prophet Muhammad.
The attack was ordered by the Qaeda leader, Ayman al-Zawahri, in keeping with the wishes of his predecessor, Osama bin Laden, the document said.
The Qaeda statement said that "the one who chose the target, laid the plan and financed the operation is the leadership of the organization."
The claim of responsibility appeared in an Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula video featuring one of the group's leaders and simultaneously in a print statement sent to reporters, which bore the insignia of group's publication arm, Al Malahem.
The statement and video both said that the American-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki made the "arrangement" with those who carried out the attack in Paris. It said that Mr. Awlaki, who joined the Qaeda branch in Yemen before being killed by an American drone strike in September 2011, "threatens the West both in his life and after his martyrdom," a reference to the continuing influence on the Internet of his calls for violent jihad.
The brothers, Said and Cherif Kouachi, reportedly went to Yemen for training in 2011. Before they were killed by police, the brothers said they carried out the attack on behalf of the Qaeda branch in Yemen to avenge the death of Mr. Awlaki.
Their rampage set off a three-day manhunt and spurred another act of terror carried out by gunman Amedy Coulibaly at a kosher market in Paris. The Al-Qaeda group who claimed responsibility, however, said Coulibaly's incident was a coincidence.
The statement by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula called the Kouachi brothers "two heroes of Islam," but it referred to Mr. Coulibaly's actions as a coincidence. The statement did not take responsibility for the actions of Mr. Coulibaly, who, in a video released after his death, said he was a supporter of the Islamic State, a rival to Al Qaeda that is also known as ISIS or ISIL.
The statement referred to Mr. Coulibaly as a "mujahid brother."
A member of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, who spoke to The New York Times on the condition of anonymity, said the joint timing of the two operations was a result of the friendship between Mr. Coulibaly and the Kouachi brothers and not a reflection of common planning between the Qaeda group and the Islamic State.
The group gave no explanation why they waited a week to claim responsibility.
The Aftermath:
This week, Charlie Hebdo released their first issue since the massacre — a green cover with an illustration of the Prophet Muhammad crying, holding a sign that says "Je suis Charlie." The words "All is Forgiven" are scrawled above his head.
Three million copies were printed, about 50 times the regular amount. Before dawn, the publication was sold out across Paris.
The cartoonist responsible for the drawing said this about the cover:
"It was not the front page the world wanted us to make, but it was the one that we wanted to make," Renald Luzier said. "It was not the front page the terrorists wanted us to make, because there are no terrorists in it, there is just a man crying, a guy crying – it's Mohammad."
But not everyone thinks the illustration is pitch perfect.
In the Philippines, 1,500 gathered in one of the main Muslim-majority cities Wednesday to protest Charlie Hebdo's caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.
"What had happened in France, the Charlie Hebdo killing, is a moral lesson for the world to respect any kind of religion, especially the religion of Islam," organizers said in a statement released during the 3-hour rally.
"Freedom of expression does not extend to insulting the noble and the greatest prophet of Allah."
A group calling itself "Boses ng Masa," or Voice of the Masses organised the rally, which attracted about 1,500 people, Marawi police officer Esmail Biso told Agence France-Presse (AFP).
And back in France, a French comedian known for his controversial statements came under fire for comments he posted to Facebook suggesting he sympathizes with one of the gunmen. His subsequent arrest sparked heated conversations online about freedom of speech and who it protects.
According to The Guardian:
Prosecutors had opened the case against Dieudonné M'bala M'bala on Monday after he wrote "Tonight, as far as I'm concerned, I feel like Charlie Coulibaly" – mixing the slogan "Je suis Charlie", used in tribute to the journalists killed at magazine Charlie Hebdo, with a reference to gunman Amédy Coulibaly. Dieudonné was arrested on Wednesday.
Coulibaly killed four people at a Jewish supermarket on Friday and a police officer the day before.
Dieudonné posted his controversial Facebook post after attending Sunday's unity march against extremism that brought more than 1.5 million people on to the streets of Paris in the wake of the attacks.
He described the march – considered the biggest rally in modern French history – as "a magical moment comparable to the big bang."
He has since deleted the post.

Q: date and time not being added to table with correct default and datatype I am using AnySQL Maestro  13.2.0.15 which is SQL-server based. I need the date and time to automatically be put in the column "added" of my table called "accntgs" with out me having to select the current date and time. I have added the field with the datetime data type and set the default to getdate(), but then when I enter a new record and post it, the added field is still null. I have also tried to use the timestamp data type, and when I post a new record with that, the added field says (bytes) and does not have the date or the time. How do I fix this and get the date and time the record is posted to show up.
I have also tried this:
ALTER TABLE accntgs ADD CONSTRAINT
DF_accntgs_added DEFAULT GETDATE() FOR added

and it didnt add the the date when the new record was posted either

HOLLIE GREIG HOAX? GOD SAVE THE QUEEN?
No Future For You
Christopher Spivey
It really is quite obvious who the 'wrong uns' are.
In fact a quick scout through the latest news should tell you all you that you need to know.
For instance the BBC have been running a series of articles by a former member of the Men in Tights who alleges that he was stopped from investigating allegations of child abuse at the Kincora Childrens Home in Northern Ireland – which of course is part of the UK:
A former army intelligence officer has said he was ordered to stop investigating allegations of child sexual abuse at a boys' home in the 1970s.
Brian Gemmell said a senior MI5 officer told him to stop looking into claims of abuse at Kincora Boys' Home in east Belfast.
He said he presented a report on the allegations to the officer in 1975.
In 1981, three senior care staff at the home were jailed for abusing 11 boys.
PHOTO: The Kincora Boys Home
Course, just like it has always been, the big players in this scandal were protected and got away with raping, torturing and even killing children, scot-free.
Now, one of those major players to escape justice was the foul nonce cunt Lord Louis Mountbatten… Favorite uncle to the Royal Ponces.
Never the less, despite knowing what a sick cunt Lord Mountanything was, he was given a State Funeral which took place on 5 September 1979, at Westminster Abbey.
The funeral was attended by the Queer & the Duck, other assorted oddities of the British Royal Family and members of the other sick & twisted European royal houses.
Why? Because the inbreeds are all nonces too.
Indeed, Mountanything was the Duck of Edinburgh's uncle, who was charged with bringing the apprentice nonce, Philip up after his bi-sexual father fucked off with a young bit of skirt following his mothers rapid decline into madness.
Now, it is common knowledge that Mountanything – boyfriend of Edward VIII – and his brother George Mountanything had a field day with young Philip.
Course, the Mountanythings were like their young Nephew Philip, Nazi-sympathizers through and through.
Indeed, there is no escaping the fact that all three of Philips sisters married high ranking Nazi's crucial to the German war machine.
And how did Philip repay them for buggering him senseless?
He gave uncle Louie charge of the young Prince Bigears.
You can read about Mountbatten's involvement with the Kincora Boys Home in my article 'Who Killed Mountbatten' by clicking HERE
Indeed, the Authors of the controversial book 'The War of the Windsor's' which was serialized in the Daily Mail state:
"Lord Louis Mountbatten had the nickname "Dickie" …and for good reason. Philip's uncle Dickie was the last viceroy in India where he was a known paedophile who sexually exploited young working class Indian peasant boys".
And an excellent website, dedicated to exposing the Royal Family http://www.helpfreetheearth.com/index.html, have this to say about a book written on that paedophile ring entitled 'The Kincora Scandal':
"The Kincora Scandal connects Lord Dickie Mountbatten to a child prostitution vice ring in Belfast, Ireland. Authorities failed to intervene at the Kincora care home for boys until 1981, despite reports over the years of child sexual abuse".
The operators of the Kincora child prostitution ring were eventually convicted in 1981 of the RITUAL sexual abuse of defenceless young boys who were sold like prostitutes. No charges were ever brought against the VIP customers made up of Royals, Politicians, lawyers, and Judges. However, Belfast citizens finally had reason to celebrate when Prince Philip's paedophile uncle was killed by an IRA bomb planted in his boat".
Yet have the royal inbreeds who, as my friend John Martin is quick to point out; are not Royal at all, been questioned by the police about their links to kiddie fiddling?
Have they fuck, despite Mountbatten being the fella who introduced the Duck to Jimmy Savile who in turn introduced the twisted deejay to his son Bigears.
I only added the above photo for the Odd Bod Plod Squad's benefit because for some unknown reason they had a copy of it which they asked me about whilst questioning me on their ludicrous, non-existent harassment charge.
I mean, it has been my header photo on my Christopher D Spivey page for over 6 months, so why had they taken a copy to bring up in interview… If I wasn't so trusting I would think that the corrupt cunts are determined to try and stitch me up.
And just to clarify John Martins point about the royal ponces having no claim to the throne – not that anyone should in this day and age – John maintains that the real 'Stone of Destiny' AKA the Stone of Scone used in the Queer of England's coronation was a fake and as such Sweaty Betty has no claim to the throne whatsoever.
Interestingly enough, the odious Scottish first minister Alex Fish Salmon concurs that the rock is a mock – as do many others:
THE First Minister has made the astonishing claim that the Stone of Destiny is a medieval fake.
Scotland's iconic coronation stone has been seen by tens of thousands of people since it was returned from Westminster Abbey to Edinburgh Castle in 1996. Source
Moreover, if given enough exposure some claim that this fake stone malarkey is enough to bring the house of cards tumbling down:
The Stone of Destiny… Could End the New World Order
Submitted by SadInAmerica on Tue, 04/07/2009 – 1:30pm.
Recently, a man named Anthony John Hill was arrested and is now being corruptly and forcefully extradited to nazi-London where He will stand trial for the heinous crime of: sending a DVD to a courthouse.
As with ALL governments, the British establishment has a long, extensive, and documented history of silencing and imprisoning people who had damaging information to the State's (evil) interests. Mr. Hill is their next target because of what He knows and what He is telling people and how irrefutably damaging it is to the corruption at the top.
First they tried to stone-wall Him, and when people were too hungry for His knowledge, THEY (the slime in ALL high positions) decided it would be best to arrest Him in order to try and force His silence. Obviously that didn't work, as His video, about what really happened with the London tube-train bombings, called "7/7 Ripple Effect", has had a huge upswing in interest.
Few people outside of Britain and Ireland have ever heard of The Stone of Destiny let alone the amazing 4,000 year history behind it. Even smaller numbers have ever stumbled across the Truth of the real Stone's current state or location and why the covered-up facts and fake stones floating around are of such great importance in the now very near future. The ramifications of acting on this information could and will be astounding if people do so in mass..
The Stone of Destiny…
Also known as: The Lia Fail, Stone of Scone, Jacob's Pillar/Pillow, David's Throne, Bethel Stone, etc"

But in the meantime keep waving your silly plastic flags at them as they continue to leech off you, ya fucking half witted imbeciles.
Course, it isn't just the royal parasites who are corrupt nonces.
I mean, as most of you already know, the House of Conmans & the House of Gaylords is infested with vile child rapists and has been that way certainly ever since Winston Churchill's government.
No surprise then that these nonce infested cabinet offices make up what is called 'Her Majesty's Government'.
Indeed, Sweaty Betty has personally elevated a host of dangerous paedophiles into the higher echelons of the British Establishment by making them Knight's of her Realm.
The following is a list of just a few of those people who have later been accused of – or confirmed as being – dangerous paedophiles.
Sir Cyril Smith MBE
Sir Rolf Harris CBE
Sir Jimmy Savile OBE
Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber CBE
Sir Cliff Richard OBE
Sir Stewart Hall OBE
Sir George W Bush GCB
Sir Ted Heath MBE
Sir Peter Morrison PC
Sir Kenneth Clarke PC
Yet the TV program 'Dispatches' aired by Channel Four on Thursday 12 September 2013, informed us that Her Majesty's security services, namely MI5, vets her Knight's before they are knighted.
Indeed, Winston Churchill himself – also given a state funeral – was reported to be a kiddie fiddling monster.
Moreover, according to the Hallett Report 3, old Winnie the poo was Bizzy Lizzie's real old man:
King George VI had an IQ of 67, which is one point above retarded. He had knocked knees, he had a terrible stutter and he didn't have an attention span long enough to be photographed, he just wandered off . . . So there is a movie made about that recently called 'The King's Speech' which is a bunch of propaganda how he was an E for 'Achievement' and an A for 'Try Hard'.
So he had a child with Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, the person called Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, and that was a boy, and that boy was epileptic and was left to die on the gurney. So it became a question whether they could allow King George VI, the person who was to become King George VI, to sire another child. So he was replaced in favor of Winston Churchill, and Winston Churchill had been the Home Secretary, and he was the illegitimate son of King Edward VII, which meant that he still had royal blood and he was young enough to sire Source
Course, madness from centuries of inbreeding runs in the family. I am of course talking about the Ducks Mother, Slack Alice & Sweaty Betty's two mentally retarded 1st cousins who were locked away in mental homes; neither of whom ever received a penny for their upkeep off multi-billonaire Cousin Bizzy.
I did in fact write quite extensively about this madness in an article in which many sources were quoted:
However, the more modern day Royal family tend to do what all Monsters do with their mad relations: Lock them away and pretend they don't exist.
That is what happened with the Queen's first cousins,Nerissa and Katherine, who were both nieces of the Queer Mother:
The Queen's cousin Nerissa was 22 and the Queen's look-alike cousin Katherine was 15 when they were sent to the grim Royal Earlswood Mental Hospital. Both were severely handicapped and virtually unable to speak. They were said to have a mental age of six.
Cousin Nerissa is now deceased but cousin Katherine, aged 86, is still alive as of 2012, although severely mentally retarded. She is neglected and never visited.
Burke's Peerage which records the "who's who" lineage of the British aristocracy, recorded false information that the first cousins of Queen Elizabeth II died in 1940 and 1961.
Despite the Queen's fabulous wealth, she spent not one penny on cousin Nerissa's burial. Nerissa was buried like a pauper in an unceremonious grave marked by a 6-inch-high plastic tag bearing a serial number and the name "Bowes-Lyon".
Cousin Katherine who spent decades in the Royal Earlswood Asylum, was moved to Ketwin House for the mentally disabled. Following allegations that male staff members were washing female patients, Ketwin House was forced to shut down. Witnesses found bruises on Katherine's hand and hip.
Despite the Queen's fabulous wealth, she spent not one penny to keep her cousin Katherine at Ketwin House. The cost ? About 770 pounds per patient per year. According to a former staff member, Katherine is alert, understands what she's being told and communicates by pointing and smiling. Not one member of the Royal family has visited her in 60 years.
It turns out that the Queen's mother also had cousins who were locked away in the same mental institution on the same day in 1941 as Nerissa and Katherine.
An 'out of sight, out of mind' approach to family members with "embarrassing" problems like mental illness and epilepsy is nothing new in the royal household.
In 1905, George V(Of family name change fame) and Queen Mary had a son, Prince John. Until the age of four, Prince John was just as much in the spotlight then as Prince William was in 1986 at the age of four.
When Prince John suffered his first epileptic fit, his royal parents excluded him from official family photographs.He wasn't even allowed to attend his own father's coronation as King of England in 1911. In 1917, the King hid his epileptic son by sending him to die in an isolated farmhouse. John never saw his parents again. He died two years later – reportedly in his sleep.
Another propaganda Oscar winner, The Kings' Speech, focused on the Queen's father and his speech impediment. There was no mention in the movie that the cause may have been from generations of royal inbreeding.
Monarchy blockbusters are designed to sell the image of the filthy rich royals as sensitive, caring, human and deserving of adoration and taxpayer support. No one would dare make a Hollywood movie about the King's nazi brother, Edward VIII who abdicated.
Alice Battenberg was the mother of the Queen's husband – Prince Philip. Alice was near deaf and a religious zealot. As the years went by, she began to have visions that she was Christ's bride. She was declared a paranoid schizophrenic and committed to an asylum by force in 1930. Alice is Prince William's great grandmother.
Boy that shower of shit really know how to take the piss.
Incidentally am I alone in thinking that the queer mother is almost squeezing Sweaty's undeveloped breast in that photo.
Now as you have just read, Nerissa died a good while back but as it happens, Katherines miserable life only finally came to an end in February 2014… Less than 6 months ago.
They certainly kept that fucking quiet didn't they:
A COUSIN of the Queen who spent 55 years of her life being cared for at the Royal Earlswood Hospital, in Redhill, has died.
Katherine Bowes-Lyon died, aged 87, on February 23. A private family funeral was held.
It is believed Miss Bowes-Lyon lived at a care home in Surrey since the closure of the Royal Earlswood Hospital in 1997.
She began her residency at the hospital – now converted to luxury apartments – in 1941, when she was 14. Read More
Naturally, and as you would expect from the scum, not one of the evil bastards attended the funeral.
However, just 6 months ago Sweaty attended the funeral of her 1st cousin, Lady Mary Clayton… Then again, she wasn;t a source of embarrassment to her:
On Friday afternoon, the Royal Family attended the funeral of Her Majesty's cousin, Lady Mary Clayton, in the Royal Chapel of All Saints, Windsor Great Park.
Born Mary Cecilia Leveson-Gower on 12th December 1917, Lady Mary was the daughter of Lady Rose Bowes-Lyon and her husband, William, 4th Earl of Granville. Mary's mother was the elder sister of The Queen Mother, and served as godmother to Princess Margaret. This made Mary a first cousin to Queen Elizabeth, who is nine years her junior. Continue Reading
Are any of you embarrassed by your mentally disabled relatives?
ALTOGETHER NOW:
♫ God save our GRACIOUS? queen
Long live our NOBLE? Queen! ♫
♫ God save the Queen!
Send her victorious, ♫
♫ HAPPY? and GLORIOUS?,
Long to reign over us, ♫
♫ God save the Queen.
She makes you proud to be fucking British, doesn't she not.
Another fact that many do not know about the royal inbreeds is that The Ducks mother was also a victim of the birth defects commonly resulting from the consequences of the old traditional family incest.
Indeed, Princess Alice of Battenberg was totally off her fucking rocker.
Moreover, as a direct result of Slack Alice being looney tunes, The Duck was left in the care of his nonce cunt uncles George & Louie Mountlittleboys:
She was born Princess Alice of Battenberg in 1885 at Windsor Castle, a great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria, and raised as an English princess, although both her parents were German.
Alice was congenitally deaf but she could speak clearly. Photographs show how beautiful she was, with her upswept hair and lace gowns.
By 1930 she was hearing voices and believed she was having physical relationships with Jesus and other religious figures.
She was diagnosed as schizophrenic, and when treatment in a Berlin clinic failed – on the advice of Sigmund Freud her womb was blasted with X-rays to cure her of frustrated sexual desires – she was admitted to a Swiss sanatorium.
On the day she left, the nine-year-old Prince Philip was taken out by his grandmother for a picnic. When he returned, his mother had gone. 'It was literally a car and men in white coats, coming to take her away,' explains Alice's biographer Hugo Vickers.
She remained a prisoner there for two and a half years. 'It was rather hushed up,' explains Alice's niece Countess Mountbatten, 88. 'I think my aunt would have suffered very much.'
Although the couple never divorced, Alice was effectively abandoned by her playboy husband Prince Andrew, who went to live on the French Riviera with his mistress.
Prince Philip was now homeless, spending boarding school holidays with various relatives, including his uncle Lord Louis Mountbatten, father of Countess Mountbatten. She recalls that when Philip visited them one Christmas, he signed his name in the visitors' book and gave his address as 'no fixed abode'.

Now as I said earlier, Winston Churchill has been publicly named as being a paedophile as was his good friend, the now disgraced, deceased Lord Robert Boothby. He most certanly was a dangerous predatory paedophile.
Moreover, there is little or no doubt that they both had a bit of the Queen Mother who is also named by the film-maker Bill Maloney as being a paedophile. Source
"We were involved in and spoke at the UK Rally Against Child Abuse in Trafalgar Square last Saturday (7 Aug 2010). Filmmaker and child abuse survivor Bill Maloney opened the Rally with a rousing speech in which he committed treason under Nelson's column declaring that the Queen Mother was a paedophile. Diana had apparently declared to a close friend that she was evil. Her footman, who had previously been a butler to the Queen, was a convicted child sex offender who used to groom his victims by taking them to parties with the Queen Mother at Clarence House" – Spokes person for UKRACA
Indeed, so sordid are the royal inbreeds that the paternity of Princess Andrew & Prince Edache has been called into question many times, as I documented in my article Monsters Inc:
Prince Andrew's parentage was called into question shortly after his birth and the murmurings have gained momentum ever since by sly digs in the media such as this one from the Telegraph:
"There are those who persist in believing that Prince Andrew's natural father was the Queen's racing manager, Henry Porchester, "Porchey", 7th Earl of Carnarvon, suggesting the conception occurred at some point between 20 January and 30 April 1959 when Philip was away on another of his long sea voyages in the Britannia".
In 1993 The New York Times Magazine exposed the Queen's penchant for sleeping with her underlings in an article quoting the columnist Nigel Dempster telling the author Christopher Hitchens, 'Get hold of a picture of Prince Andrew and then one of Lord Porchester at the same age. You'll see that Prince Philip could never have been Andy's father'.
Tellingly, The Queen did not dare challenge the article. She did however use the tax payer's money to increase the budget for the Buckingham Palace Press Office – the outfit set up decades ago to buy the silence of media owners and editors.
Coincidentally enough, or perhaps as fate would have it, as I was searching for a photograph of the Queen and Lord Porchester in each others company, I came across an article in today's Telegraph newspaper (6/7/12) from which the following extract is taken:
Euston headed the list of well-born "flirts" that Elizabeth and her friends used to joke about, which also included Lords Porchester and Plunket, among others. Unlike her fun-loving younger sister, Margaret, Elizabeth was painfully shy and cautious and solemn in her demeanour, albeit still attractive. At parties she could appear something of a wallflower. However, at nightclubs – such as the 400 Club in Leicester Square, where there was a band for dancing, or the nearby Café de Paris, before it was bombed – she could be squired by young men she liked, away from prying eyes.
"She clearly found Hugh Euston, Porchey [Lord Porchester] and Lord Plunket sexually attractive," recalled a lady-in-waiting to the Telegraph journalist and author Graham Turner, "and they would get the come-hither looks, a fluttering of the eyelashes. You can't have much going on between you in a Viennese waltz, but there's the look, the pressure of the hand and, in those days, it wasn't so commonplace to want the next thing."
Moreover, according to royal researcher Jim Hutchinson, State Papers released in 2009 confirm that in 1959, the [pregnant] Queen and the question as to who her – as yet unborn – baby's father was likely to be, was discussed in Cabinet on three occasions. The details of the first of these discussions had been stamped 'Not to be seen for 50 years'. That is 20 years longer than the standard 30 year rule. The details of the other two discussions have been stamped 'Not to be seen for 100 years'.
Four years after Randy Andy's birth, Prince Ed the Ball was born and just like his older brother, it wasn't long before his parentage became gossip for the press. However, in Edwards's case the man being touted as his Father wasn't the womanising Lord Porchester, it was in fact a chap named Baron Patrick Plunkett.
Now, whilst the evidence for Pluckett being Edwards Father isn't as compelling as that for Porchester being Princess Andrew's Father, it would tie in with the much repeated claim that after the birth of Princess Anne, Bizzy Lizzy refused to have Phillip in her bed.
This claim was repeated in a book written by Nicholas Davies and revealed "a shocking world of royal adultery, passion and betrayal"
The book stated – as fact, not surmise – that the Duke of Edinburgh's liaisons with his cousin, Princess Alexandra and the film star Merle Oberon, not to mention his former Daughter in Laws mother, Susan Barrantes (among others!)- as the reason "why the Queen banned her husband from her bed".
More damming still, the Telegraph reported in an article on the 5th of September 2004, about how Phillip had sat "impassively, incensed but silent" when a Journalist from a "Sunday broadsheet" had suggested to the Duke that he might have a raft of illegitimate children and had enjoyed a homosexual liaison with Valery Giscard d'Estaing, the former President of France.
Okay, lets get back to the nonce filled government and as I say, this den of thieves has been infestation with paedophiles since at least the Churchill government.
Indeed, when Boothby – a TORY politician – was linked in the press to gangster Ronald Kray (who was believed to be blackmailing the Lord having had him filmed raping children), in the early 1960′s, the then Prime Minister, Harold Wilson – a LABOUR politician – intervened in the crisis.
You see, in a nutshell Wilson ordered his 'Mr Fixit' Arnold Goodman to represent Tory MP Boothby in his libel case against the Sunday Mirror who had printed the story.
The Sunday Mirror wobbled and decided to settle out of court despite having not named either Boothby or Kray.
In fact, a bit like the payouts made by the BBC and ITV to Lord Nonce McAlpine for not naming him as a paedophile in 2012.
Indeed, it later emerged that the reason that the men were not named in the Sunday Mirror, was that the newspapers owner, Cecil King had refused permission for the editor to do this .
And interestingly enough, in 1968 Cecil King had become involved with MI5 boss, Peter Wright in a plot to bring down the Wilson government and replace it with a coalition led by Lord Mountbatten.
Never the less, Boothby received £40,000 (£660000 at today's prices) in compensation from the newspaper and the Editor was sacked.
However, history has revealed that the headline was only the very tip of the iceberg and Boothby was up to his neck in the perverted cesspit.
Indeed, the bottom line is that Kray was providing Boothby with underage boys to have sex with.
He was also taking Boothby to perverted paedophile sex parties.
This is evidenced in the following extract written by John Pearson, the Kray's Biographer, who gives us a little insight as to what Boothby got up to at these 'parties':
"As well as boys there were East End orgies and sex shows involving criminals. One account described Boothby lying under a glass-topped table while boys were made to defecate above him. Another described him sitting naked in a room with a number of criminals and boys around him, and "love beads" protruding from his anus".
Following the perverted Wilson Government, the country had to endure – through their own choice I hasten to add – the sick cunt Edward Heath and his nonce infested government.
Heath was indeed, in a class of his own when it came down to depravity:
Barrister Michael Shrimpton blows the whistle on paedophiles in high places. In particular, he names former Prime Minister Edward Heath as a serial paedophile who took young boys onto his yacht, Morning Cloud, to be buggered and then killed.
These unfortunate victims never returned to Jersey, but their bodies were thrown overboard. In this case I have used a video that I have many doubts about but there are some truths in it.
The stories about Ted Heath and Savile are true but where Shrimpton states that WE are the good guys and the GERMANS are the bad guys is of course bollocks. There is no such thing as "good" secret services, "good" statutory enforcement, or indeed "good" government. All those things oppress people, steal happiness from people and kill people.
The British and Jersey governments have covered up the atrocities on the Island of Jersey. Evidence has been destroyed and witnesses murdered. Some of the perpetrators will get away with their crimes, some already have, and many will die before being brought to justice. Source
And of course, Deadwood Heath was also a visitor to the Kincora Boys Home:
Conservative Prime Minister Edward Heath, a yachting enthusiast, was also a visitor at Kincora Boy's Home and it's claimed that Savile supplied him with victims from Haute de la Garenne in Jersey to misuse aboard his boat.
Another of Savile's close friends, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, often played host to him at Chequers and her successors, Major, Blair and Brown were all "fans" deaf to the 'open secret' which everyone knew.
Prince Charles and Prince Andrew, friend of the billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, sent Christmas cards to Savile right up until he died and Charles led the tributes after his death in 2011 saying, how "saddened" he was… the Prince has not issued a statement about his sadness over the allegations…
(Source – infounderground.com)
And of course, the tradition of paedo Prime ministers continued with Slaggy Thatcher who used to like spending Christmas and New Year with Savile and Nonce McAlpine.
Thatcher was also given a state funeral… There is a pattern opening up here.
Never the less, now the Satanic old bitch is dead the truth is slowly emerging in the MSM about her and her paedophile cabinet.
Course, we here in the AM were reporting all that is now emerging years ago.
Sadly, until it is reported in the MSM most people do not want to know and indeed until that time comes we who do name these monsters are publicly ridiculed.
A prime example of this would be when Jimmy Jones named Sir Peter Morrisson in November 2012 on Channel 4 News and was indeed slaughtered for doing so by many people, including supposed CSA advocates who were and still are claiming to be fighting for the survivors.
Moreover, two of Thatchers golden boys were David Cameron and his very good friend, the dangerous predatory paedophile Derek Laud.
The following is what I wrote in my article Camerons Closet:
I think we all know by now that he was good friends with the extremely dangerous, predatory paedophile Derek Laud. Why Cameron is now trying to distance himself from the scumbag is anyone's guess… Not a very hard guess, but a fucking guess all the same.
Fuck me, Laudy boy, the vile child rapist and in all likely hood child murderer, even paid for Scameron to go on a Junket to South Africa in 1989:
In April 2009, The Independent reported that in 1989, while Nelson Mandela remained imprisoned under the apartheid régime, David Cameron had accepted a trip to South Africa paid for by an anti-sanctions lobby firm.
A spokesperson for Cameron responded by saying that the Conservative Party was at that time opposed to sanctions against South Africa and that his trip was a fact-finding mission.
However, the newspaper reported that Cameron's then superior at Conservative Research Department called the trip "jolly", saying that "it was all terribly relaxed, just a little treat, a perk of the job. The Botha regime was attempting to make itself look less horrible, but I don't regard it as having been of the faintest political consequence."
Cameron distanced himself from his party's history of opposing sanctions against the regime. He was criticised by Labour MP Peter Hain, himself an anti-apartheid campaigner. Source Wikipedia
Course, if accepting a freebie holiday from a paedophile who was, and no doubt still is, so violent and sadistic that many of his young victims ended up in hospital with internal injuries wasn't bad enough; Slaggy Thatcher also had an illegal motive for letting Cameron go. The following is from the Eyre International website:
The trip by Mr. Cameron in 1989, when he was a rising star of the Conservative Research Department, was a chance for him to "see for himself" and was funded by a firm that lobbied against the imposition of sanctions on the apartheid regime.
What they did not reveal was that this trip (where he was accompanied by Sir Ken Warren) was to purchase three highly illegal nuclear bombs that had been produced by the RSA & Israel and have them shipped to Oman where they were stored in an insecure compound pending possible use against Iraq during the early stages of that conflict.
This extremely fraudulent deal not only misused "British Taxpayers Money" but also managed to siphon off another £17.8 million that went straight into the Tory Party Election Fund.
It was also fact that these same three nukes were re-stolen by the same fraudulent arms dealer (John Bredenkamp) who then sold them on the black market.
So, not only does Cameron accept an all expenses paid holiday to apartheid South Africa from a predatory paedophile, he also uses that holiday to illegally buy nuclear bombs which are later 'stolen', never to be seen again… Extremely worrying.
But, forget that – he has – the question that we all should be asking ourselves is: Why would a man who has fathered 4 children want to protect paedophiles?
And indeed, protect paedophiles he does.
Remember, he promised to look into a paedophile ring operating out of Number 10 in late 2012, yet have we heard anymore?
Have we fuck… Yet we here in the AM have known about that nonce ring for years.
And since we haven't heard anymore, then neither should the fact that time and time again Cameron's advisers are being exposed as nonces come as any surprise to anyone:
The bloke who encouraged Prime Minister David Cameron to censor the internet to protect kids from evil paedophiles has been arrested on child pornography charges.
Patrick Rock has been closely involved in drawing up Government policy on internet porn filters. It seems that while he was filling David's head with the terrors of paedophiles he was at the centre of a police probe over images of child abuse.
Detectives from the National Crime Agency even searched No 10 and examined IT systems and offices used by Rock who was the deputy director of the Downing Street policy unit.
According to the Daily Mail, Rock was a protégé of Margaret Thatcher and has held a series of senior posts in the Conservative Party and was described as Cameron's 'policy fixer'. He was about to be rewarded with a Conservative peerage.
So, Rock was a protégé of Margaret Thatcher was he?
It really does get too easy don't cha know.
Which brings me nicely to yesterdays article in the Chimp.
You see it has just been revealed that a government IT expert was caught with 400 child porn photos on his computer:
Government IT expert is caught with child porn stash… but why did Downing Street keep it secret for six months?
A former Cabinet Office digital expert is facing jail after being caught with a huge stash of nearly 400 child porn images.
Sebastian Crump amassed depraved images of child abuse while working as digital communications manager advising the Government on its own website.
Now questions are being asked about why it took six months to emerge that a government official had been arrested over child pornography allegations. Source
Hmmm, I really don't think that I need to answer the Chimps question in the above headline.
After all, the answer is glaringly fucking obvious.
The vile arsewipes look after their own which would be fine if they were men of honour.
But they are not – far from it in fact.
Indeed they are nothing other than egotistical, twisted, corrupt, kiddie fiddling gangsters.
I mean, how can it be that I am arrested, named and made out to be a "crackpot" in the national press for at worst, voicing my opinion on my own website, whilst in the same week, two thieving Councillors, found guilty in court of not paying their council tax cannot be named because it would distress them to do so:
Two councillors who failed to pay their council tax have been granted anonymity – because naming and shaming them in court would violate their human rights.
The pair owe a total of £4,660 but a senior judge said unmasking them risks causing 'unnecessary and unjustified damage and distress'.
Campaigners yesterday condemned the ruling as evidence of a worrying culture of secrecy – saying the public must know the identity of elected politicians who don't pay the tax they help to set.
Now you tell me how that can be right?
At what fucking point did the bad guys become the good guys and vice versa?
These evil cunts all have to go… Or do you all really care so little for your children and grandchildren.
I know which side of the line I stand… Just sayin'.

Group Discussion Ideas > Political GD Topics > Is Nationalism taking over Globalism?
Donald Trump, the present President of USA banned refugees and immigrants from 7 Muslim countries. This is the biggest sign of growing Nationalism in United States of America.
Donald Trump won in presidential election of USA because he assured voters that under his rule USA citizens will get their jobs back, which they lost because of immigrants. His win revealed that people are preferring nationalism over globalization.
'Brexit' happened because Britain wanted to protect their nation from increasing globalization.
Compulsion to stand while National Anthem is playing in Theaters of India, is revealing the growing nationalism in India.
Earlier, people used to criticize their nation freely. But now people who are criticizing their own nation is being labelled as "Anti-Nationalists" in India, even if there is a truth in their criticism.
Many countries are restricting goods from other countries, if they are a threat for their domestic industry.
There is a growing tendency to support domestic goods and companies. Many Indians are opposing the influx of Chinese goods into the country. Surprisingly there are protests in China against foreign goods and companies, especially of USA.
Increasing stateless persons and refugees are the best example for increasing Nationalism. No nation is happy to take in the refugees from war-torn countries.
Though the spirit of Nationalism is increasing, it is not a threat for Globalization. Nationalism is not a bad thing, because it creates a healthy competition among countries, which inturn benefits the whole world. But the real problem starts when nationalism turns into xenophobia, because it will not do any good for the country and for the world.
Nationalism is good for the countries future.It makes the people stand in unity and make their country proud.It improves the countries growth towards other nations and build a strengthy position in the world.This not only increases the nationalism but also increases the oppurtunities for the people outside the country.


Supported by the synth-sculptures of Sebastiaan Van den Branden, Sachli Gholamalizad pays a musical tribute to Googoosh and Farrokhzad, 2 prominent women from last century Iran. Where pop singer Googoosh symbolizes sexuality and abundance, poet and filmmaker Farrokhzad refers more to reflection and intellect. A striking illustration for the duality of HOOGTIJ/laagtij. A totem of screens visually strengthens the whole.
During HOOGTIJ/laagtij Nienke Baeckelandt lifts her performance 'SNIP IT' to metaphysical heights. Ten days long she locks herself in an atelier, armed with paper, scissors and a headphone that conducts the rhythm of her action.
The in-situ work of Rutger de Vries gives HOOGTIJ/laagtij a solemn allure. He constructed a splendid 'paint chandelier', which he sparks every day at precisely 21h in the entrance hall.
During the yearly citywide craze, Gouvernement pays tribute to the "Homo Festivus" and "celebrating" as such. HOOGTIJ/laagtij is a festival within a festival, a scaled-down metaphor for a city on the verge of insanity. An invitation to both total surrender and sobering reflection.
Around twenty artists have been invited as the Masters of Ceremony of this 10 day-festival. They are commissioned with the task of immersing the audience into their idea of jubilation, transcendence and related rituals. Their daily actions ignite from a visual, theatrical or musical spark and draw on well-founded ceremonial heritage. Just as well, interventions are flagrant, nonsensical bursts of euphoria & decadence.
All actions leave specific, physical traces all over the Gouvernement-site. These will eventually lead to the formation of a 'Gesammtkunstwerk' and become a visual guideline for a reconstructive exhibition in the aftermath of the festival (27-30.07).
Forensic investigations reach a final stage with the release of publication by Jelle Martens and Raimundas Malašauskas (autumn 2017).

Memories of 1984
A short collection of memories of Delhi during the 1984 anti-Sikh pogrom.
With the thirty-year anniversary of the 1984 anti-Sikh pogrom around the corner, Hartosh Singh Bal's Caravan article "Sins of Commission" is worth reading in full. It describes all that happened then, and all that has happened since – thirty years, nine commissions of inquiry, zero justice.
I was in Delhi back then, and have been trying to recall my memories of those days. I decided to ask others to share their memories as well, and put all the accounts together into this blog post. I'm not sure what I hope to accomplish with it; I just know that it's important to remember all this — "the struggle of memory against forgetting", to use Milan Kundera's famous quote.
The bloodied bodies of two murdered Sikh men lie piled onto a cart on the New Delhi railway station platform (November 1984). Men can be seeing standing on the right looking at the bodies; one man walks past while looking.

The memories follow below; each numbered account is from a different person.

Traffic Safety in India
Lecture titled "Accidents, Mythologies and Science of Traffic Safety" by Prof. Dinesh Mohan of IIT Delhi (with notes).
Via South Asia Citizen's Web (a fantastic site, add it to your feed) I came across a video of this lecture on road safety in India by Dinesh Mohan of IIT Delhi – a well-known proponent of road safety research in India. It's part of a monthly public lecture series on science, held at the India International Centre in Delhi. I highly recommend watching it when you get time (it's 1h:30m long including Q&A), but since it's a rather large video file some might not be able to – so I took down notes while watching it. Here they are. (Note that the notes aren't exhaustive or error-proof!)
Initially the fatality rate was growing at 4% a year, which increased to 6% around the time Maruti was introduced. For the last few years, it's increasing by 8% a year. Due to increase of "energy levels" (more vehicles, bigger roads and highways) – but not better "designs".
There are around 20 countries with decreasing fatality rates (e.g. Netherlands, UK). The decrease started around 1965-70, probably due to a wide variety of changes including safety regulations.
About 400 people are killed every day. About 1200 people are permanently disabled every day. About 8000 people are hospitalised every day.
There is a lack of data on the profile of accident victims (which vehicles etc.)
Paradigm shift from "Adapt PEOPLE to manage traffic SITUATIONS" to "Eliminate risk factors from road traffic SYSTEMS". Both road design and car design was changed dramatically via regulation.
Instead of blaming and educating people, better to treat people as "normal" and focus on the system.
Car industry has not changed its attitude. Sexist, macho, not concerned with safety. Airbags still not the default for ALL models.
No correlation between fatality rate and per capita income. There are safe countries amongst both the rich and the poor.
Accident injury should be considered using epidemiological models just like other diseases – damage to the human being from the environment that it lives in. It is a public health problem. Accidents are not "acts of god". The "agent" of the disease is mechanical energy. To reduce injury, reduce the energy i.e. reduce the velocity, increase the distance, increase the area of contact. Our cars today are much safer due to these simple principles.
Behavioural science – it takes a few thousand hours of driving before you become a safe driver. All drivers have high crash rates in the first 2 years of driving. Children need a few thousand hours on the road to understand speed. Human beings are not good at judging speed.
The "theory of rare events" – the more rarely a certain risk factor is encountered, the larger its effect on accident rate.
The "theory of complexity" – the more information a road user must attend to (per unit time), the higher the probability of error. No cellphones!
Two slides from the lecture – they show a diagram of a hypothetical accident where a speeding car hits a motorcycle and the rider (who isn't wearing a helmet) is killed. The first diagram shows the existing practice of focusing on individual behaviour – the car driver is booked for rash and negligent driving, and culpable homicide. The second diagram shows the recommended approach of trying to fix systems – such accidents could be reduced by systemic practices such as – bright light at junction, roundabouts, speed cameras, police presence, and helmet laws.
Summary of studies:
– no clearly proven relationship between knowledge and attitude on one hand and behaviour on the other hand.
– Education programmes by themselves are usually insufficient to change behaviour.
– Contrary to the view that education cannot do any harm some of these programmes have been shown to make matters worse, esp for young children. Cochrane review of road safety programmes for children shows that effects on injury are unknown. Similarly, school based driver education increases crashes, because it encourages early licensing.
– Teaching licensed drivers how to drive better has no effect (again Cochrane review).
– Fines as penalties and deterrents have little effect. Only when subjective probability of detection of sufficiently high – i.e. when you think you're going to get caught – that's when you follow the law. Making penalties higher as an isolated measure has little effect.
Sweden's "Zero Vision" road safety bill is based on the notion of "allowing" accidents to occur, but at a level of violence that does not threaten life or long-term health. The system must also be such that it accomodates the individual who has the worst protection and the lowest tolerance to violence. The responsibility of every death or loss of health in the road system lies with the person who designed that system.
IIT studies on fatalities by road user type in around 10 cities shows that:
– pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists constitute 80% of fatalities. Interestingly, probability of fatality in an autorickshaw trip is lower than that in a car trip.
– vehicle role at societal level (adjusted for exposure) shows that cars are the worst – they kill others as well as occupants. Autorickshaws are the best.
– data from US cities suggests that cities with wider and longer roads have more fatalities
Other findings:
– buses must be moved away from pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists.
– roundabouts reduce fatalities by 70-80%.
– when a pedestrian is hit by a car moving at 30kmph, probability of death is 10%. At 50kmph it becomes 80%.
– mixed traffic on highways is dangerous. largest number of deaths on highways is pedestrians.
– illegal speedbreakers put up by villagers are saving around 20-40 thousand lives a year.
– medians on highways are dangerous. Other solutions like guard rails should be implemented.
– Alcohol accounts for about 40% of the fatalities.
– If motorcyclists use their headlights during the day, fatalities reduce by 10-15%. (Because others can see them better.)
– Establishing a good central government "lead agency" is essential. Create jobs and expertise. No country in the world has improved road safety without doing this.
– The "National Road Safety and Traffic Management Board Bill", 2010 has been pending in parliament for three years. The govt refuses to push it. This is after the 4 years it took for the bill to be formed.
– Free left turns inside cities should be forbidden.
Postscript: Please take a look at Nirmukta's Organ Donation Campaign and register to be an organ donor after death. Given the number of road deaths we have – all those organs are going to waste – at least some good can come of these tragic and unnecessary deaths on the road.
'Indian' from India
Today being Columbus Day in the US, here's an old clip of the ever astute and hilarious Hari Kondabolu:
And Arvind pointed out this clip from Good Will Hunting, where the two kinds of Indians are differentiated based on dots and feathers. I know the "dot" refers to dotheads, a pretty ignorant stereotype about Indians originating from the fact that some Indian women wear a "dot". And though I'm not familiar with American Indians, given the context, I'm guessing that the "feather" reference is an equally silly stereotype.
Haider – everything that's wrong with Appropriation
Vishal Bharadwaj released his latest film, Haider. Set in the mid-90s in Kashmir Haider is an adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet. Before we begin, it should be noted that this is a film conceptualised, directed, produced, and starred largely by Indians, or non-Kashmiri Indians. Such an overwhelming absence of Kashmiris, in itself, makes the film an act of appropriation. But many are unconvinced regarding how that can be possibly bad or a problem in itself. Why can't the privileged speak for the underprivileged? A similar question was once asked by Rahul Pandita,
A few years ago, confided a friend, a prominent Dalit intellectual had mentioned my work at a book launch. At this, another Dalit intellectual remarked: 'But he is a Pandit after all!' Now I don't know why this should be a problem! As a Brahmin, does it make me less sensitive to the plight of the poor or the marginalised? Why is it such a big deal that I can wear my Janeu, recite my Hanuman Chalisa, and yet go to Bant Singh's house in Bhurj Jabbar, thirstily gulp down a few glasses of water, and tell his story? Where is the contradiction?
and Kuffir gave an appropriate reply to this privilege-blind question,
yes, why is it such a big deal that he wears a janeu etc? i don't believe the practice of rituals etc make a brahmin. so giving them up won't make one less of a brahmin, either, in my view.
the big deal is that bant singh can't just get up and go meet rahul pandita in delhi or mumbai or wherever he lives, gulp down a few glasses of water, and tell his story. bant singh was attacked because he wanted to do exactly what rahul pandita does. get up and go do the things he wanted to do.
the big deal is that rahul pandita has the freedom to do so and bant singh doesn't.
One needs to locate appropriation within privilege (sometimes used as a polite alternative to inadvertent oppression). When Bharadwaj, an (non-Kashmiri) Indian, chooses to speak about human rights violation in Kashmir or when Arundhati Roy, a Savarna, chooses to introduce Ambedkar, they do so with the freedom afforded to them by the privileges they carry with their social identity. When they tell the story of the underprivileged while being from the side of the privilege, they establish an hierarchical relationship akin to that of charity. When they narrate the story they also have complete discretion over the narrative and the tenor. They can choose to include or omit whatever or whoever they want to. And consequently the outcome ends up being a story that will be plagued by a narrative, more or less, conditioned by their privilege.
In the end this narrative becomes the authoritative one. The one on which the oppressors, the privileged, and the far-removed would fall back for reference. Look at the fact that almost every course on Ambedkar would primarily include a screening of Jabbar Patel's Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar or when it comes to Gandhi it is Richard Attenborough's Gandhi. [And this is also the how an overwhelming section of the Savarna-dominated Indian academia are of the opinion that "some of the best works on Dalits are written by non-Dalits"]
So let's come back to Bharadwaj. To be honest, I did like the film as an adaptation of Hamlet. But in this case I see no reason in divorcing the art from the politics, so here goes. (needles to say SPOILER ALERT)
Firstly, the portrayal of the Oedipus Complex between a "half-widow" (a term used for the wife of a disappeared person not declared dead, see here and here) and her son. Even if one is to take the argument that Hamlet had a certain infatuation for his mother (an argument that is highly contentious to this day), to show that using a half-widow, a lived reality of scores of Kashmiri women, is just not done.
Secondly, the manner in which Bharadwaj dealt with the conflict it is clear that he borrowed heavily from New Delhi's narrative of a scheming, politically greedy Kashmiri ruling class, as presented by Khurram (Claudius) and Parvez (Polonius), misleading gullible Kashmiris against the Indian state in the name of Azadi. But before that, we need to revisit the original Hamlet and the politics of the nation surrounding the story. In Hamlet, the corruption and degradation of the Danish political system is entirely because of the Danish people, or atleast its political elite. Gertrude, Hamlet, and Claudius are supposed to represent the different streaks of the Danish political class. Gertrude representing the helpless and the pragmatic, Hamlet representing the agitated and the idealistic, and Claudius representing the corrupt and the greedy. Bharadwaj, to be fair, did the same with Ghazala, Haider, and Khurram. But Hamlet's Denmark is not Haider's Kashmir. Hamlet lamenting about Denmark being a prison has a completely different connotation from when Haider remarked that Kashmir is Kaidkhana. Demark in Hamlet was imprisoned by the Danes themselves, but Kashmir in reality is imprisoned by the Indian State. Yet what we see is a Kashmiris repressing Kashmiris, killing Kashmiris, lying to Kashmiris, and getting fooled by Kashmiris. Locating all of this in a film about the conflict, and not a film merely about the life and times of average Kashmiris is extremely colonial. In this entire picture we see the Indian State, represented by the military, as a distant oppressor, who does not deal with Kashmiris themselves (a picture far removed from reality, atleast in the mid-90s).
Thirdly, the reduction of the entire Azadi movement to Inteqam (revenge). Sure, it would have been too much to expect for the filmmakers to present the Kashmiri struggle for self-determination as an Inquilab (revolution), but it was not even given the dignity of a Bagavat (rebellion) either. For the film it was merely a vain and petty act of vengeance by the Kashmiris against the Indian military and perhaps the State. Again, the makers were staying true to the original story rather than reality, but one thing was very visibly missing in the entire film: Hamlet's dilemma.
Finally, absence of Haider's dilemma when turning to the other side. In the original, Hamlet consistently ponders on the basis and the morality of his actions and his intentions. Until the 'Mousetrap' Hamlet was completely unsure about the claims made by the ghost. In fact, the very reason for "the play within a play" was to ascertain his uncle's guilt. This dilemma, this progress of the character from a confused rebel to a convinced murderer was absent. This is a little concerning, when one takes into account that Haider becomes a rebel after meeting the Roohdar (ghost). It is as if he convinced himself almost immediately that he has to kill his uncle and turn against the Indian State (the euphemism of 'going across the border' is used, insinuating that the militancy is fomented by Pakistan, or at leas from Pakistan). There was no dilemma, no doubt, but absolute conviction to the words of a stranger who calls himself "the ghost". The omission is of such gravity that one really must question the intent of the makers.
All in all, Bharadwaj created an adaptation of Shakespeare, where he tailored and truncated the experiences of the Kashmiri people to fit the script. If Kashmir was so secondary and merely a setting to the entire plot, he could have set the adaptation anywhere in the whole of India. Instead he chose Kashmir, possibly to drive home a political argument. If that's so one can not judge and review the film merely for its artistic value. The politics of the film is equally, perhaps more, relevant. Haider (as Ashwani Mishra of Kashmir Dispatch points out) is representative of an emerging liberal nationalist argument, where the abuse by the military and the draconian nature of the AFSPA while is recognised, the conflict is still seen as petty and the calls for Azadi as deluded.
In conclusion, everything that is wrong with the film is because in the end all of it boils down to appropriation of the lived experiences and narrative of a people for commercial gains, in which distortions are but natural. One needs to be extremely wary these days when someone chooses to tell the story of another.

This Album is not just another musical project that l add to my career. This Album is a complete work, a pure partnership between people who chose to unite music and despite the pain of what life has divided us, about love and longing for home, about the exile inside and outside…The album basically talks about the human being and travel.

LAWNAN is a sweet challenge. It was recorded live, as if we were on stage. This style of recording reserves the spirit of Lawnan that we wanted, but it gives more space for little human made mistakes that carries the real spirit of the musicians, and that I see as the closest thing to real perfect beauty. if we love our small mistakes, we understand our souls better... in music, and in life as well.
LAWNAN is a short translation of our stories that brings together contrasts... painted with lots of love and honesty.
