Madhav Kumar Nepal, who led UML for 15 years, is a man without a party today: Where did he fail?
Nishan Khatiwada - 27 May, 2021
Read Time 4 min.
Kathmandu: On May 24, K P Sharma Oli, Chairman of CPN-UML, expelled senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal, the man who led the party for 15 years as a General Secretary and who also served as a prime minister for around two years, from the party, even nullifying his general membership.
Six months earlier, Nepal and three other leaders–Bhim Rawal, Surendra Pandey, and Ghanasyam Bhusal–were suspended but their suspensions were revoked recently.
With expulsion, Nepal nearly loses all the influence and the role in CPN-UML, of which he was a supreme leader for many years.
Before the merger with Maoist Center in May 2018, when Nepal and Oli were about to contest for chairmanship, they both had nearly equal strength and influence inside the party. K P Oli won the election for chair with a slim margin of 44 votes–with Nepal securing 1003 votes against 1047 of Oli in the last general convention.
That appears to be a defining moment in Nepal's erosion of influence in CPN-UML. From that moment, Oli started sidelining Madhav Nepal.
After the merger, when he started to speak out against authoritarian and unilateral moves of K P Oli in Nepal Communist Party (NCP), he faced further persecution. When K P Oli unilaterally dissolved the House for the first time on December 20, 2020, Nepal and Pushpa Kamal Dahal (co-chair of NCP) stood together and organized street protests against the unconstitutional move across the country. NCP had practically split into two champs.
On March 7, the Supreme Court invalidated the merger, reviving CPN-UML and Maoist Center. By then, Nepal had already lost whatever influence he used to have in CPN-UML. K P Oli had become all-powerful in the party.
Now, Nepal commands the support of only around 25 lawmakers out of 121. Nepal faces a huge existential dilemma in the party: He has been expelled from UML, so he cannot stay there anymore, he cannot part ways and form a new party either because he does not have enough members on his side.
Madhav Nepal sounds conciliatory and he has rarely taken any extremist position in the party and national politics.
For the Nepal faction, it is also an existential question. Party's own history has not been favorable to those who split away. In 1998, a group of UML leaders broke away and created CPN-ML–where CP Mainali, Bamdev Gautam and Ghanshyam Bhusal were among the influential members. But the ML failed to secure even a single seat in 1999 general elections, leaving the breakaway faction with no option but to return to the mother party. Only CP Mainali stayed with ML, the party that has become insignificant now.
Where did he fail?
Madhav Nepal sounds conciliatory and he has rarely taken any extremist position in the party and national politics. One among the key actors to bring Maoist rebels into the mainstream politics in 2006, Nepal advocates inclusion and justice in the party.
"Had Nepal been the extremist leader, he would have, during his leadership, ravaged and destroyed the politics of his rivals including K P Oli," said Tara Nath Dahal, a press freedom fighter and observer of Nepali politics. Nepal, he said, was accommodative. Such a nature was taken as weakness by his rival faction, observes Dahal. "This is the main reason for him to lose power. The result is that a strong opposition was formed inside the party and K P Oli appeared in strength," said Dahal. The major weakness of Nepal, in Dahal's assessment, was his failure to discourage groupism and factionalism inside the party. "He should have taken the decision on time," Dahal added.
"Moreover, Nepal failed to play a prominent role during the unification of two communist parties, and let Oli do what he wanted to do," Dahal said. Nepal also failed to effectively intercept when K P Oli and Pushpa Kamal Dahal were in open conflict in NCP.
Then Oli removed Ishwor Pokharel and made Bishnu Poudel General Secretary, which Nepal did not object to. "That was a big mistake," said Dahal.
Experts say his modesty and a wish to balance the power between the factions made him appear weak. They argue that the moderate line that CPN-UML often peddled turned out to be a problem, leading to Nepal gradually losing the command in the party. Others see the erosion of Nepal's influence as natural.
Hari Roka, a political analyst while talking to Nepal Live Today some days earlier had said, "If a leader loses political position and power, supporters start fleeing. That will be the case with K P Oli once he loses the post of PM. What has happened with Nepal will happen with Oli tomorrow."
Analysts say his modesty and a wish to balance the power between the factions made him appear weak. They argue that the moderate line that CPN-UML often peddled turned out to be a problem, leading to Nepal gradually losing the command in the party.
Taranath Dahal agrees. If Oli loses his post, supporters will leave Oli too, he said.
What next for Madhav Nepal?
Meanwhile, the fate of Madhav Nepal hangs in the balance. In 2009, he was appointed PM though he had lost the 2008 Constituent Assembly elections from two constituencies–Kathmandu-2 and Rautahat-6. The rise and fall of leaders in communist parties are as unpredictable as politics itself. Baburam Bhattarai, another former prime minister and a prominent leader of a communist party, is now just a leader in Janata Samajbadi Party Nepal (JSPN)
Analysts point to various possibilities. According to Taranath Dahal, there are three possibilities: a) Madhav Nepal can leave UML and form a separate communist party. b) Eventually, he will be able to weaken K P Oli inside the party and get his hold back. If Sher Bahadur wins over Oli in the coming days and becomes the prime minister, supporters will start leaving Oli camp. c) He, with Pushpa Kamal Dahal, will form another large communist party to challenge Oli.
But, said Dahal, "If Nepal fails to make a clear stand, his position will be further downgraded for sure."


The weight of that responsibility felt heavy on my shoulders. I felt incredibly inadequate compared to my grandmother.
For a time after her death, praying for my children felt like a burden. I was convinced that if I didn't pray the right stuff at the right times then something horrible would happen. If they got in trouble at school, I worried that it was my fault for not praying the right thing that day.
I've gotten better, but praying for my kids is still a struggle. I still struggle to find peace.
Praying for my kids is hard work.
The honest truth is that sometimes (when my kids are driving me crazy) I don't know what to pray for them.
When they've been hurtful and mean spirited, a huge part of me doesn't even WANT to pray for them.
Instead, I find myself wanting to go tattle on my kids in a big whining prayer. I'm not exactly following in my grandmother's footsteps.
Instead of praying, I started thinking about that crazy lady I used to know that prayed for her future daughter in law while changing her son's diaper.
Even when I couldn't pray, I took comfort in the thought that somewhere, some other mother was quite possibly praying for her future son in law. I drew strength from the idea that another mom was praying for my son to grow in wisdom and strength of character. Even though I might not meet her for years, this other mom and I were already in agreement, praying in unison for the future of our children.
Suddenly, my world felt full of people who were praying for my son.
My world also felt full of people who were quite possibly praying for ME as well.
As I thought about all those other people who were (theoretically) praying for my family, I didn't worry if they were doing it "right." I wasn't concerned that one of them might be considered an "amateur prayer" instead of a full blown prayer warrior. I wasn't interested in if they used fancy words or had a method or anything. I was just comforted to know that they were there and that God was listening to their hearts.
Now, put yourself in my shoes.
That crazy woman praying for her child's future spouse could just as easily be praying for your child. The woman burdened to pray for an entire generation is including your baby along with mine. Some crazy blogger lady has probably prayed for you and your family today.
Someone has prayed over your child (and you), even if you didn't.
Someone has prayed over your child, even if you didn't. Take comfort in that. Then pay it forward.
Holly, about 99.99% of the time, my answer is NO. As long as I'm a sane, rational human being I'm fine. But I've struggled with that irrational fear before. I knew it was wrong. I knew it wasn't how prayer works and that the whole idea was topsy turvy. That the tough part of irrational fears – they hang on long after we confront them with logic.
So yes… when W would come home with a bad note from school, my first reaction was that it was all my fault because I hadn't remembered to pray for him at lunch (or some other nonsense). Talk about a twisted and sick way to beat myself up!
The good news is that once I recognize the thought pattern, I can put a stop to it. I can have the irrational fear and not believe it or act on it. That's part of the whole "take every thought captive" idea that Paul wrote about.
Oh no! It's all my fault for not praying for exactly six minutes at exactly 11:23am during lunch. And did I remember to say that special scripture this morning before school?
Once again. I can NOT control my son's behavior through prayer. I am NOT in control of my child. Prayer is NOT a lucky charm.
When prayer starts feeling like an unwelcome burden (and yet one more thing to put on the to-do list) then something is wrong. Prayer is an honor and a privilege. We're supposed to ENJOY prayer. When I took a step back and really looked at how many other people were potentially praying for my kids, the whole thing became a little less overwhelming and I could once again enjoy the process.
Because I know I'm not the only mom to struggle with this topic, I wanted to share what I've learned – even the messy and irrational parts.
I just wanted to know if you really thought that way about it – because I'm pretty sure God's there whether you're actively talking to God or not. The sky won't fall in because you didn't pray for it just right. 🙂 Tornadoes happen to good people and bad people; consequences follow actions, and they're not all actions within your control. But you're loved, and your kids are great. They'll turn out just fine.
I am NOT Donna Reed. I loved watching the show when it came on Nick At Nite (long ago), but that's just not the life I live.

Ruling notes pharmacist "placed his patients at 'a significant risk of harm' by working while taking unauthorized drugs." More than 26,000 tablets stolen for personal use - three month suspension.
A Mile Zero drugstore owner and pharmacist has been sanctioned by the College of Pharmacists of BC for taking thousands of tablets of narcotics over four years.
In its ruling, the College noted the manager was involved engaged in "serious misconduct" and placed his patients at a significant risk of harm. More than 26,000 narcotic tablets taken An agreed statement of facts notes that between 2014 and 2018, Kayle Henry Christensen agreed that more than 16,000 tablets were taken for his own personal use, without a prescription.
More than 16,000 tablets of a narcotic drug and and additional 10,000 tablets of a controlled substance were noted to be missing.
Christensen has agreed to pay a $1,500 fine and take an ethics course and is also banned from working as a pharmacist for three months. For the next three years he can't run a pharmacy or handle narcotics.


West Midlands was basking in sporadic sunny spells and spontaneous cloud bursts as the rest of the UK splashes and squelches its way through what was turning into the wettest June on record. My thoughts goes to those who were affected by the floods. We didn't do anything this weekend because Babe wasn't feeling too good.
As usual I pottered about in the garden and did more weeding. I clipped the grass around the shrubs which the mower can't reach. Quite a back breaking process. The roses and poppies were blooming beautifully although a bit battered by the strong winds and heavy rains. Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and peas were starting to flower. I sowed more chard, pak choi and rocket seeds. I'd harvested the kale and they tasted divine, simply stir-fry with garlic and lashings of fresh pepper. Yum…yum. We were quite worried because we'd not seen Mr. Prickly for a few days. I was glad that he turned up and started grazing. Another surprise was when Mr. Foxy was seen in the same frame. I guess there was plenty of food that they ignored each other and started feeding. It was amazing to see 2 great enemies together.
On a lovely Sunday morning, I did a brisk walk around the housing estate. Everytime I walked, I tried to walk a little bit further. Then it was a leisure breakfast of cheesy mushroom omelette with toast, reading the Sunday papers, listening to the local radio station with the patio doors open. From where I was sitting, I could see what was going on outside.
The starlings were making a ruckus. I went out to see what was going on. A juvenile starling was screaming its head off, begging for food. It was standing beside the suet rack but still needed the parent to pick the food and put it in its mouth.
Then a House sparrow and a juvenile flew onto the feeding station. The younger waited patiently for its parent to feed first, watching very intently. Then it started feeding the baby. It was such an intimate moment to see how a bird looked after its young chick. I spent hours watching and photographing this beautiful behaviour.
In the afternoon, I had a brisk walk to Sainsbury to get some bits and bobs. Crates of beer and bottles of wine were stacked by the entrance in anticipation for the football match later. I bought 2 packs of seedless grapes, a tub of glazed cherries because I was planning to bake a cake, 2 packets of Fairtrade instant chocolate, a tarte aux pommes which was on offer and a container of fresh cream for the tart. I also nipped into The Range and came out with a container of green leaf red Begonias which was BOGOF offer. I was halfway to the casa when the heavens opened and it poured. Thankfully, I'd my raincoat on. I walked past dozens of people who looked like drowned cats.
The rain stopped as soon as I entered our driveway. After putting the shopping away, I started planting the Begonias in the front lawn. Then it was back into the kitchen to start baking. I'm baking an upside down pineapple cake. I'd made one a week ago and this time I'm adding cherries. While the cake was baking enveloping the casa with delicious smell, I got myself ready for the England-Italy encounter.
What did you think of the game? There was despair in pubs, clubs and living rooms as England's penalty curse struck again. I thought the Three Lions played well during the first half. They had a lot of chances. It was just that they couldn't kick the ball into the goal. I'm no fan of Terry but the number of times he used his body as a defending board against the Italian attack was incredible. In the end, Hodgson's barmy army crashed out of the Euro quarter-finals in a dreaded shoot-out, in scenes reminiscent of the disappointment of Italia 90, EURO 96, EURO 2004 and the 2006 World Cup. Why are we so useless at penalties???
I took leave on Friday to accompany Babe to the hospital. We left the casa at 10.40 am for the 11.10am appointment. It was raining and there was already a queue outside the entrance barrier. A sign saying that the car-park was full was on. This meant that the barrier won't be lifted until there was an empty space. We can't reverse because there was a line of cars behind us. we can't make a u-turn because we were in the lane. We waited for about 10 minutes before we got through and then to drive around to find that empty space. Whose bright idea was this? Babe said that if we couldn't find anywhere to park, we are going straight home. Thankfully, after about 10 minutes, we managed to find a parking space.
We rushed into outpatient clinic, confirmed Babe's presence and took a breather. About 10 minutes later, Babe was called in and we walked through doors and corridors into another waiting room. The nurse told Babe that he was going to do a hearing test. What??? We asked why and she explained that it was what she was asked to do. Babe did the tests in a very noisy room which we felt was wrong. After the tests, we waited for the consultant who told us that he'd no idea why Babe was given another appointment!!! He couldn't find anything wrong before. What a waste of time, money, my holiday plus the anxiety that we;d to face. And it costs us £2.80 for parking. But at least, we know that there was nothing wrong with Babe's hearing :-).
After all that excitement, we went to Asda for a bit of retail therapy. I got another lovely stripy cardigan for my collection. I must have nearly 50 cardigans of assorted colours and patterns. We also bought a few bits and bobs. After a simple lunch and coffee, we went to our favourite playground for a bit of fresh air. As soon as we entered the reserve, a pair of kestrels were riding the waves above the reed-beds.

Remember the Volvo 262C? If not, check out the picture below. This was one weird looking car. Sometimes called the Bertone 262C, it was built by Bertone, but was actually designed for the most part by Volvo. Volvo thought that this is what we liked here in America. We didn't. Back in the 70s and 80s we liked our garish coupes to be American made. The Volvo 262C didn't sell well.
But Volvo didn't give up. In 1986 they introduced the 780. This time Bertone not only built the car, they were responsible for much of its styling. Volvo wasn't looking for a sports coupe, they were looking for a classy GT type of look, and Bertone nailed it. They got interior right, too. It is a perfect blend of Swedish functionality and Italian luxury.
The first 780s to hit our shores were a bit slow. Originally sold with the PRV V6 engine, this engine had some low end grunt, but ran out of breath as the RPMs got higher. In 1989 Volvo changed that by dropping a 175HP turbo engine into it. The car now had power to match its looks. In 1988 Volvo introduced a multilink independent rear suspension which gave the car better handling characteristics.
Until recently, Volvos were known for running forever and needing very little maintenance. The 780s were no different, but, being a turbo, oil changes, cooling system flushes, routine things like that, need to be done on a very regular basis. Rust does not appear to be much of a problem with these cars, but check around the rear window and sunroof opening.
Mechanical parts are easy to source as they are shared with other Volvos. Body parts and interior trim are another story as much of them are unique to the Coupe.
Prices for the 780 have probably bottomed out, with good ones usually selling for less than 3K and low mileage mint ones for not much more. The 780 will never be a collector's item, but you can assume it will retain its current value for awhile and then creep up in value as the number of available cars diminishes. Buy it to drive it, not to make money off of it.
The 1989 Volvo 780 on eBay is being sold by a dealer who specializes in Volvos. It appears to be in very nice condition, showing some normal wear but no signs of neglect or abuse. Its low key style (made even "lower key" by being white) and Volvo nameplate won't turn many heads when you drive down the street, but you'll have a nice looking, exclusive, well engineered, fun to drive car that you won't need to spend a lot of money or time on to keep it running perfectly. There aren't many 20 year old cars you can say that about.
Click here to see the eBay listing for this Volvo 780.
For more info check out the Volvo 780 Information Site. An enthusiast site, it has a ton of info and some great pictures. It's easily the best 780 site around.
VolvoAdventures.com has information on just about every Volvo and Volvo related car, including the 780. You can easily kill a few hours or more prowling around it.
You know you're getting old when cars you remember as new cars are being talked about as classics!
I wasn't impressed by the styling until I went to one of the links you provided and saw the car in a darker color. It really is a nice looking car. It almost looks like a Maserati Biturbo coupe. The color white does it no justice.
I find it ironic that the 1979 Volvo 262c had a lowered roof and it was considered "ugly". Volvos are meant to have tall windows to match its tall sides and the lowered roof was deemed as ugly. I was 16 and fell in love with the car. Totally unique. Now the New Dodge products have lowered rooves and small side glass. Similar to the 1979 Volvo Bertone 262c. Dodge has always copied and tried to "out do" other car manufaturers in the 50-60 ie:tail fins that tended to fall apart even in the shows. I'm just saying.

Robust job gains despite lackluster hiring by governments
Parinitha Sastry and Louise Sheiner Friday, March 6, 2015
Employment continued to expand at a rapid clip in February, even while government hiring remained subdued (see the latest on Janet Yellen's Dashboard). Overall, the economy added almost 300,000 new jobs while the unemployment rate dropped to 5.5 percent. Despite continued meager wage gains, the recovery appears to be on solid ground, with over 3.2 million jobs added over the past year.
But hiring by government continues to be remarkably weak (as revealed by the employment charts in our Fiscal Barometer). Although about 15 percent of employed Americans work for the government (about 90 percent at the state and local level), government hiring accounted for only 1 percent of the job gains in February and less than 3 percent over the past year.
Sharp employment losses between 2010 and 2013 have yet to be fully reversed, leaving total government employment in February still 1.5 percent below its pre-recession level, a much slower pace of recovery than in previous recessions (chart). In contrast, private payrolls are now about 3 percent higher than their pre-recession level.
Is this slow pace of government hiring the "new normal" or should we expect an acceleration in public sector employment in the coming year or two? That's hard to know. On the one hand, budget conditions at the state and local level should continue to improve along with the overall economy, suggesting some potential for an uptick in hiring. On the other hand, political pressures to rein in the size of government and the need to shore up state and local pension funds will likely keep any improvements in the pace of hiring quite modest.

18.Provisional date of invitation to tender
19.Provisional commencement date of the contract
20.Initial period of implementation of tasks and possible extension of the contract
The initial period of execution of the contract shall be of 60 months. This period may be extended, with the prior approval of the Contracting Authority. See also item 10 above.
SELECTION AND AWARD CRITERIA
21.Selection criteria
The following selection criteria will be applied to candidates. In the case of applications submitted by a consortium, these selection criteria will be applied to the consortium as a whole:
1) Economic and financial capacity of candidate (based on item 3 of the application form). In case of applicant being a public body, equivalent information should be provided.
(a) The annual turnover (if the candidate is an individual company) or the average annual turnover (if the candidate is a consortium) of the candidate must be of at least EUR 3,000,000 for each of the last two years for which accounts have been closed.
Note to candidates: In the application form, please make sure to include the actual year for which the data is provided.
2) Professional capacity of candidate (based on items 4 and 5 of the application form)
(a) The number of the permanent staff of the candidate (individual company or consortium overall) currently working in fields related to this contract (as they are described in item 7 – "Contract Description" above), must be at least 15 for each of the last three years (2013, 2014, 2015).
Note to candidates: In the application form, please make sure to include the actual year for which the data is provided
3) Technical capacity of candidate (based on items 5 and 6 of the application form)
(a) The candidate (individual company or consortium altogether) has implemented, during the last 5 years (2011 up to the deadline for the receipt of applications indicated under item 23 below), at least 3 project(s) of a minimum value of EUR 500,000 equivalent, with activities related to the planning, procurement and implementation of large investment projects (min. EUR 30mil.) in the water and/or wastewater sector in developing or emerging countries, and should demonstrate that it had a participation of minimum 50% in each of the project(s) brought as reference. For the avoidance of doubt "planning, procurement and implementation of large investment projects" means Pre-feasibility or Feasibility studies; design and works supervision of multiple (>=3) components within one project/programme. An example would be a feasibility study including a water treatment plant, a transmission main and rehabilitation/extension of the network.
(b) The candidate (individual company or consortium altogether) has implemented, during the last 5 years (2011 up to the deadline for the receipt of applications indicated under item 23 below), at least 2 project(s) of a minimum value of EUR 500,000 equivalent, with activities related to the management of large investment projects financed by multi-donors in the water and/or wastewater sector in developing or emerging countries, and should demonstrate that it had a participation of minimum 50% in each of the project(s) brought as reference. For the avoidance of doubt "management of large investment projects" does not include Works Supervision contracts or Feasibility Studies. Instead "management" refers to managing the actual implementation of a project/programme.
Note to candidates: the projects referenced must have been completed before the deadline for the submission of applications. The candidate may refer to a part of an assignment which has not yet been completed, but only in so far as that part is successfully completed and its date of completion and the candidate's contribution may be clearly identified and proven through adequate documentary evidence (such as certificates from the client). Where the projects referenced have been implemented by consortia comprising two or more of the members now associated as a consortium for this tender procedure, their respective percentages shall be added together, in order for the application to be assessed on the basis of the consortium as a whole.
An economic operator may, where appropriate and for a particular contract, rely on the capacities of other entities, regardless of the legal nature of the links which it has with them. It must in that case prove to the Contracting Authority that it will have at its disposal the resources necessary for performance of the contract, for example by producing an undertaking on the part of those entities to place those resources at its disposal. Such entities, for instance the parent company of the economic operator, must respect the same rules of eligibility and notably that of nationality, as the economic operator.
If more than 8 eligible candidates meet the above selection criteria, the relative strengths and weaknesses of the applications of these candidates must be re-examined to identify the eight best applications for the tender procedure. The only factors which will be taken into consideration during this re-examination are, in order of precedence:
1) The number of projects brought as reference which comply with the requirements of criterion 3(a) above
22.Award criteria
Best value for money.
23.Deadline for receipt of applications
The applications must be received by the Contracting Authority no later than 17:00 hrs. CET on 20/04/2016.
Any application received after this deadline will not be considered.
24.Application format and details to be provided
Applications must be submitted using the standard application form (available at the following EIB web page: http://www.eib.org/about/procurement/technical-assistance.htm), whose format and instructions must be strictly observed.
Any additional documentation (brochure, letter, etc.) sent with an application will not be taken into consideration.
25.How applications may be submitted

I know there are times when members may get a little annoyed by all the information their association asks them to provide. We ask you to provide feedback on potential products and services, to evaluate meetings, to give your opinion on public policy positions under consideration by the Board, and to rate our performance and the value of association membership. Most importantly, we ask for detailed information on your fraternal activities – everything from member benefits, to social events, to community service projects on which your society and its lodges are engaged.
But there's more to membership – in this association and in your society – than simply paying your annual dues (or insurance premium). Or at least there should be. Membership comes with the responsibility to participate, to give back (or give feedback, at least), and to contribute to the greater good of the organization.
We survey members because we really want to know what you think about issues and what action you want your association leadership to take on them. When it comes to advocacy – and the defense of our tax-exempt status is our highest priority in this arena – information is our most effective tool.
How much and to whom are members' financial contributions going?
How many community service events are societies and local lodges engaged in, how many volunteer hours are being donated, and how are these events benefitting individuals and organizations in communities across the U.S.?
What type of membership benefits – scholarships top the list – are societies and their foundations providing?
What type of volunteer activities are your members engaged in? Are they working with the elderly, in elementary schools, or with the homeless?
How does your society partner with local or national nonprofits? How do fraternal volunteers and donations impact your partners?
For years, Temple-based SPJST has responded to community needs in west-central Texas. So it was no surprise when SPJST spearheaded the effort to honor soldiers injured and killed during the 2009 Ft. Hood massacre. SPJST joined forces with the City of Killeen and other community groups to plan and build a Ft. Hood living memorial garden. SPJST has also established an endowment fund to pay for maintenance and upkeep of the memorial for years to come.
Headquartered in Beechwood, First Catholic Slovak Ladies Association (FCLSA) has a strong footing in the Buckeye State and their fingers on the pulse of community needs. FCLSA members got to work when Mayle Home, a Minerva-based facility for mentally and physically challenged adults, lost state funding. At a time when every dollar counted, lodges hosted a series of garage sales to raise funds to keep Mayle Home's doors open.
Catholic Financial Life's Branch 103-Hollandtown, WI, co-sponsored a fundraiser to benefit a husband and father of two, who was diagnosed with leukemia. In addition to chemotherapy, his course of treatment also included a stem cell transplant from his brother. The fundraiser included a golf outing organized by the Community Benefit Tree, along with food, games, entertainment, raffles and auctions organized by Branch 103. Thirty-four branch members worked 460 hours to host an event for 454 people. A total of $41,973 was raised to assist this family with living, travel and medical expenses.
Unless we can accurately document the ongoing validity of the fraternal tax exemption – and compare the value taxpayers derive from it versus what the Treasury would gain in new tax revenue if the exemption were repealed – then we unnecessarily put our exempt status at risk. That's what data-driven advocacy is all about…that's why it's so important that members keep track of their societies' fraternal activities…that's why we ask each of you to provide such detailed information on these activities…and that's why the next time you receive a request for information from your association you should understand we're asking not just because we're interested, but because this data forms the cornerstone of our advocacy efforts.

A new directory that identifies opportunities for women and girls to get exposure to science, technology and engineering is now available. The directory identifies initiatives, programmes and associations through which young girls and women can "connect, discover and learn" about science, technology and engineering.
People with science, technology and engineering qualifications are in demand, yet in New Zealand, women make up just 23 percent of people employed in IT and about 13 percent of people employed as engineers.
Policy Director Margaret Retter said the Ministry hopes this list of initiatives will assist young women and girls to learn more about what is available in New Zealand.

Joe Exotic is mad that KFOR reported he has deadly diseases…
9:32 AM EST on January 6, 2015
Joe Exotic, the eccentric animal park owner / aspiring musician / wannabe reality star / condom manufacturer from Wynnewood, is in the news again. This time, it has nothing to with alleged animal abuses or his employees being attacked by tigers at his animal park. According to KFOR, he's simply been diagnosed with a pair of deadly diseases.
Yes, you read that correctly, Joe Exotic, the flamboyant openly gay tiger handler from Oklahoma who poses for photos like this and this and this allegedly has deadly diseases. What's next? News breaking that Dean Blevins gets fever blisters?
Let's check out what deadly diseases are going to strike down Joe. My money is on rabies, extreme narcissism disorder or the clap. They can all be deadly, right?
Here are the details KFOR:
An animal activist group has reported that an operator of The Garold Wayne Interactive Zoological Park has allegedly been diagnosed with a pair of deadly diseases , and the zoo is afraid that the diseases may spread.
Joe Schreibvogel, better known as "Joe Exotic" was allegedly recently diagnosed with Tuberculosis and Brucellosis.
Schreibvogel says that his doctors have cleared him of either of the diseases, but we found this post on his Facebook page that states otherwise.
According to a statement from PETA, the animal activists rushed letters to the Oklahoma State Veterinarian Dr. Rod Hall and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) asking authorities to quarantine the facility and take measures to evaluate employees and animals for exposure.
Both diseases are dangerous and transmissible to animals and humans, posing a risk to the animals displayed, as well as visitors of the park.
Tuberculosis and Brucellosis? What the hell? If you had to guess which deadly diseases Joe Exotic may have, Tuberculosis would be like the 10th or 11th thing you named. I don't even know what Brucellosis is, but I bet it has something to with stepping in gigantic piles of cat shit.
After KFOR reported the story, Joe Exotic deleted the incriminating Facebook update and claimed the story was false. According to Joe, the whole thing was part of a satirical joke. Let's hope he one day reveals the same thing about his entire life.
Here's his "press statement" about the accusations:
Okay, so Joe Exotic was "satirically" stating that he had Tuberculosis and Brucellosis. As one who dabbles a bit in hiding behind satire, I can buy that excuse. I guess that means everything is fine, and you can now visit his animal park and feel safe from disease and only have to worry about the typical things like being eaten by a tiger or stumbling into a porn shoot or orgy.
Joe also released this video where he sets the record straight and reveals the "truth behind his health problems."
Geeze, get well, Joe. That is, of course, if you're not lying or being satirical. It's hard to figure things out with you.
Since the ordeal, Joe has fired off a couple of things on his personal Facebook page.
He's proposed a boycott of Channel 4:
And got mad at two-faced animal people...
And kicked it with porn star Rachel Starr...
Remember, don't be worried about any diseases.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see if Joe actually files a lawsuit (unlikely) or if KFOR issues a retraction (also unlikely). Hell, KFOR probably doesn't even know what a retraction is. They probably think it's a deadly disease.
Joe Exotic; Joe Exotic Murder; joe maldonado,


Are you maintaining a lab notebook or a journal? Have you given up on it? Or do you sometimes wonder if the hassles really are worth the supposed payoffs? Do you wish you could do a better job at it? In this post, I'll go over all the benefits of a lab notebook. It turns out, there are a lot! I will then explain how Findings can help you reap these benefits with very little work, maybe even having fun in the process.
The lab notebook is a fascinating tool because it is useful at very different time scales. In fact, one of the challenges of keeping good records is to make it work at all these different levels.
A lab notebook is where you write what your day-to-day activity, as you do it. This has instant benefits. Your notes help you keep track of your current task, whether it's an experiment at the bench, a computational run, a new theory, a bibliographic research, etc. Your lab journal then acts as a memory aid and a daily activity guide. It helps you answer questions about the immediate past and future: which reagent do I need to add, where are the computation results stored, when did I start this incubation,...?
Crucially, the content of your lab notebook continues to be useful days and weeks after you wrote things down. You may need to repeat a procedure, check where you stored some samples, or remember this brilliant idea you had a month ago. Your lab notebook becomes a project management tool, linking together multiple experiments, including both the 'why' and the 'how' it was done. As weeks go by, the details of your work fade from memory, but your lab notebook keeps everything connected and consistent.
Beyond a few weeks, your notebook starts to also be useful to others. First, a well-maintained lab notebook is an invaluable resource when comes the time to publish your work. It brings together the experimental details, the observations you made and the raw data you generated. In addition, your lab notebook becomes a reference to reproduce and re-use your work. Your results becomes the basis of new projects and new research directions, and some details buried in your lab notebook may become critical to you or collaborators. Hopefully, it's in there!
Once your work is published and you have moved on to new projects, maybe even to a new place, your lab notebook still has a role to play. The first has to do with accountability: your lab notebook is a way to audit your contribution to a project or a publication; it gives your work some "tracability". With all the recent debates around scientific fraud and reproducibility, many institutions are paying a lot of attention (and money) to this concept.
Then of course, there is the issue of intellectual property. The recent move from "first to invent" to "first to file" in the US has reduced the importance of lab notebook for patents, but it still has an important role to play, in particular in establishing ownership of inventions and processes.
The above should make it clear that producing the perfect lab notebook is a very challenging task. Your notes should have all the details of what you did, when (and maybe where), including the list of the inputs and reagents you used, as well as any unusual details. It should also clearly link the steps you followed to the results you obtained, with an unambiguous way to get to the raw data if needed. Your lab notebook should include the processed results, the conclusions you draw from them, and how that relates to previous results and your project. Connections between experiments, ideas you have, directions you take: everything should be included, verified, dated, signed, and readable by your future self, any present and future colleague, and posterity.
But here is the kicker: most of the content of a lab notebook will not be looked at again. Ever. What makes it worthwhile are the unpredictable 2% (give or take) that turn out to be really really useful.
Provide instant benefits that make it useful for your daily work.
Make it easy and fun to use.
Provide long-term benefits without any additional work.
Points 1 and 2 is what defines Findings as a productivity app. Findings makes you more productive and efficient: you end up doing more than before, in less time, and with more enjoyment. If we do a good job at it, you'll be hooked.
Point 3 is where the magic happens. Without you even realizing, the small amount of work you put every day in Findings is also an investement in the future. All the long-term benefits of a well-maintained lab notebook will be ready for you to reap when the time comes. If we do a good job at that part, you'll soon be worshipped by your colleagues and peers.
Experiments form the foundations of Findings. They give a context to your daily work and connect your tasks over multiple days. They make it easier to switch between projects without losing track of your different activities. That's a benefit you can very quickly feel when using Findings.
Thinking in terms of experiments also naturally lead you to better plan your work and to place each experiment in the larger context of a research project. Findings invites you to optionally add some simple metadata: title, aims, rating. The few minutes you may spend on this will help you answer simple questions about your work: what question am I trying to answer, what do I know so far, should I explore this result more? You'll naturally follow the "experiment narrative": hypothesis, experiment, conclusion, hypothesis. Importantly, all of this happens naturally (and when it does not make sense, there is nothing forcing you to follow any predefined rigid structure). Over time, the benefits will add up.
Protocols in Findings are useful to write down experimental details that you keep repeating. In fact, a better name for protocols could be "templates" (but that's for another blog post!). You can use Findings without protocols, but using them is very easy: you just drag them inside an experiment using the calendar view. Once inserted, the content of the protocol is a copy of the original, that can be modified as needed to accomodate the small changes you may make to the procedure. Findings makes it very easy to include all the details that may make a difference when you look at an experiment again, months later.
For more unusual events, you can also insert notes, wherever it's needed, and in the right context.
One of the biggest strength of Findings, and also one easy to overlook, is the ability to insert any file, directly where they belong, within the experiment that produced it. The first benefit is straightforward: you will never lose that file, because it is stored for you by Findings, within your library, in a place that nothing else will disturb. All you need to worry about is backing up your computer. But even more importantly, you will never wonder what it is, because it is surrounded by all the experimental details and notes that help produce the results within it. You do not need to worry how to name it, or where it is stored. You just need to focus on writing the right amount of detail to annotate its contents.
Behind the scenes, Findings is keeping a full history of your changes with the corresponding timestamps. This is part of the open-source file format we use, called PARStore, which you can check out on github. This history is not exposed yet in the user interface, but it's something we will integrate in a future version. The data is there, though, and will provide an official audit trail that you are already building without you having to do anything for it.
I have only highlighted here some of the most important aspects of Findings, and this post is already too long. There are many other elements of Findings that conspire to build long-term benefits into your electronic lab notebook. There are also many more features coming that will help you leverage those benefits. If you have not already, be sure to sign up to our mailing list to be notified about new features and major updates (we typically send an email every 1-2 months). You can also follow @findingsapp on Twitter or our Facebook page. And feel free to let me know if you have more thoughts on lab notebooks or on how we can further improve the app by sending an email to feedback@findingsapp.com.
Here is hoping I have inspired you to take on new resolutions for your lab notebook in 2015. The good news is: with Findings, it's never been easier to get it right!

For many people it's almost a ritual. Training, cardio and then sauna. Majority of people who go to fitness clubs think that sauna has positive influence on relaxing after workout and that it will support the result of burning fat. But is such behaviour proper?
Using sauna has positive influence on the ability of relaxing and recovery. Alternative heating and cooling the body is advantageous for the cardiovascular system. But the belief that sauna supports slimming is a myth. The only thing we lose during using it is water from the body. As a result of using sauna, body mass may get lower, but mainly because of dehydration.
Before entering sauna you should take a shower and then dry the body. You should not be hungry or overeaten. Staying in high temperature may be exhausting for the body and filled stomach may be an unnecessary stimulus.
You should not wear your swimsuit or flip-flops in sauna.
Unfortunately, according to my private observations, it's very common to see people wearing bikini or swimsuit in sauna. The artificial fabric used in those pieces of clothing may hinder the proper flow of the air. Additionally, if the swimming trunks are wet, you may get burned locally. You should always take a towel to dry sauna. Under the influence of high temperature, the skin pores open and the perspiratory glands start to work more actively. That's when there's faster removal of toxines and impurities from the body. You should sit on the towel not to leave wet spots on the bench.
It's perfectly stupid to have swimsuit without a towel in sauna.
You should stay in sauna from 5 to 15 minutes. If you don't feel comfortable, or if you feel dizzy, you should definitely walk out from it. You should not lead to the moment when you feel bad.
If you are starting your adventure with the gym, don't sit on the top step in sauna, because it's the hottest place. Start with lower steps.
After leaving sauna you should take a cold shower and take a rest – the best would be in lying position. The break in entering sauna should last at least 10 minutes.
Before, during and after using sauna, you should care about proper hydration of your body. During your stay there the best would be mineral water, whereas, after the whole session the best is water and tomato juice. You should definitely not drink alcohol in sauna.
People usually go to sauna to relax and rest. That's the reason why you should stay quiet in that place.
Sauna may be an interesting variety for resistance, running or swimming training. However, you should not use it right after the workout. Raising the body temperature too much after physical effort is dangerous for health. You already increase the body temperature during training and cause partial dehydration of the body, you also load cardiovascular system then. The best solution would be to take a rest after workout, hydrate the body and decrease body temperature. Using sauna is totally opposite to what you should do at that time.
When going to sauna after training, you expect faster recovery and better results of your workout. Whereas, the result of such action may be opposite and dangerous for health.
Each workout injures muscles and that's normal. The result of that is supercompensation. If you heat your body in sauna right after such workout, your blood vessels will be opened, which will cause worse injuries in muscles because of higher extravasation of blood – it slows down the after-workout recovery significantly.
It's best to go to sauna on the day free from physical activity.
Sauna should be only used by healthy people without any doctor's contraindications. It's not a good idea to go there if you suffer from high blood pressure, if you have problems with cardiovascular system and if you are a heavy smoker.
Proper use of sauna by healthy people may cause relax, as well as positive health results. You should not go to sauna during cold, or when your body is weaker. It will only cause worsening of your health condition and will worsen the illness.

What was Gabriel Fernandez's mother's sentence and what injuries did she cause her son?
Justin Lawrence
HELPLESS Gabriel Fernandez received brutal abuse at the hands of his ruthless mother and her partner which resulted in his death.
In a new Netflix documentary, the heinous crimes of Gabriel's parents were brought to light, but what role did his mother play in her child's plight?

What injuries did Pearl Fernandez cause her son?
Pearl Fernandez along with her partner, Isauro Aguirre, subjected Gabriel to horrific abuse, routinely locking him in a cupboard and dishing out savage beatings to the innocent child.
But they didn't stop there, he was also shot with a BB gun in his genitals and had his teeth knocked out with a baseball bat.
The pair also forced him to eat cat litter and have cold baths while being pepper sprayed.
The abuse of poor Gabriel began when his parents started to notice 'feminine' traits in their boy when he started playing with dolls, this resulted in him being ridiculed and called 'gay', which swiftly turned into physical abuse.
Pearl Fernandez is currently serving life without paroleCredit: Getty Images - Getty
What sentence was she given for the death of her son?
Pearl Fernandez is currently serving a life sentence at Chowchilla State Women's Prison in California with no possibility of parole.
She was originally charged with the death sentence, but pleaded guilty in order to have her sentence reduced.
Upon sentencing, presiding Superior Court Judge George G Lomeli told Fernandez, "I hope you think about the pain you caused this child and that it tortures you."
Her partner Isauro Aguirre, wasn't lucky enough to receive the same fate and was sentenced to death.

Did Pearl have a history of child neglect?
Pearl herself comes from a history of being abused as a child by family members.
Throughout the trial, it was revealed that she had been abused by her mother, romantic partners and had been raped by several men.
Experts who evaluated Fernandez told the court, "she has an intellectual disability that makes her virtually unable to use thought to guide her behaviour and temper her emotional reactions."
The abuse she received seemed to have a devastating effect on Pearl as she then in turn abused and neglected her own children, previously abandoning her youngest child, Destiny and losing custody of a son.

Crewe Alex / betting: Don't blow windfall by backing Alex
With Chronicle tipster Bill Esdaile
WE filled our pockets with Crewe's 3-2 home win over Plymouth on Saturday after backing the victory and buying goals with Sporting Index.
However, I'm not as confident of the Alex getting another three points this weekend.
A visit to Oxford United's Kassam Stadium lies in store and with the hosts unbeaten for over a month in League Two it looks a tough assignment.
Oxford's good form has lifted them into the play-off places and they will be looking to display their promotion credentials once again.
The U's also come into this match on the back of a victory last time out, when they eased past Aldershot with a 3-0 win, and they have a strong home record, with only one defeat in front of their own fans blotting their copybook.
Although Crewe can point to September's 3-1 triumph over Oxford they are hard to back for this game, even at a best price of 15/4 with Boylesports.
Steve Davis' men have been better on the road than at Gresty Road – as perfectly displayed by their 5-2 win at Bristol Rovers on their last away day – but inconsistency has undermined their season and this Oxford side looks the stronger.
Last season's contest at the Kassam ended 2-1 to the hosts and a repeat at 7/1 on Betdaq looks a decent bet.
Crewe fans not looking to go against their own side are advised to back both teams to score at 10/11 with Boylesports, while the recommendation for spread bettors, like last week, is to buy goals, at around 2.7 with Sporting Index.
Oxford's home games have seen an average of 2.91 strikes per match and the last five games at the Kassam Stadium have brought 17 goals at an average of 3.4 per game.
The next major jump race is the Victor Chandler Chase at Ascot a week on Saturday.
Unfortunately Master Minded won't be back to defend his crown, having suffered an injury in the King George.
Last year's runners up, Somersby, is likely to take his chance again, but he always finds one too good.
Paul Nicholls has entered the novice Al Ferof and the son of Dom Alco has to be of interest as the two mile division doesn't look particularly strong this season.
However, Ascot is always a big test and the grey is too short for me at 3/1 with Boylesports.
Nicky Henderson has never hidden his admiration for Finian's Rainbow and this race has always been the target race for the nine-year-old.
He did remarkably well to win at Kempton last time after a terrible blunder four out, but his class saw him through.
He should come on a great deal for that run and has to be the bet at around 2/1 on Betdaq.
I also wouldn't put anyone off taking some of the 7/1 generally available about him for the Champion Chase, as Arkle winners and runners-up have a great record in the big one.

When a strengthened Colorado data privacy law took effect on September 1, 2018, the state joined others (including California and Massachusetts) in becoming more proactive on data protection by passing laws aimed at safeguarding consumer data. New state data protection legislation means that organizations — some also subject to federal and international laws on data privacy — often need to navigate an increasingly complicated array of requirements. Although the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 does not take effect until 2020, Colorado's is already in force.
An organization need not necessarily be located within Colorado for the law to be applicable; the requirements extend to covered entities that maintain personal information of Colorado residents. Personal information includes data such as an individual's first name or initial, last name, and social security number or an identification number.
The Colorado attorney general can prosecute violations of the new law. Covered entities include organizations and even individuals that maintain, own or license PII in the course of their work. PII includes social security numbers, passport numbers, other ID numbers, passwords and biometric data (such as facial ID and fingerprints) used to authenticate someone trying to access an account.
The new Colorado law also imposes requirements on governmental entities such as state agencies, cities and towns, and even school districts.
Colorado's data privacy requirements specify how data should be protected, how third-party service providers should be handled, and when various notification requirements are triggered.
Protecting data: Covered entities that maintain, own or license the PII of individuals residing in Colorado must have appropriate security procedures and practices befitting the nature and size of their business and its operations. Suspected or actual security breaches must be investigated promptly.
Disposing of data: To protect PII when disposing of documents, entities subject to the Colorado law must shred, erase or otherwise modify materials so that the PII of individuals residing in Colorado is indecipherable.
Monitoring third parties: Under the Colorado law, covered entities also must make sure that the third-party service providers to which they disclose information also undertake reasonable security procedures and practices unless the covered entity opts to provide its own security protection for the information it discloses.
Notifying consumers and others: Generally, affected Colorado residents must be informed of a security breach within 30 days after a covered entity determines that one occurred. Consumer reporting agencies also must be informed if more than 1,000 Colorado residents will be notified, and the Colorado attorney general must be alerted if a security breach affected 500 or more Colorado residents.
Waiver of notification rights is not allowed.
Of course, complying with a variety of state, federal, foreign and even international requirements (such as the General Data Protection Regulation) can be challenging, even for entities with the best intentions. However, there's some good news: Covered entities regulated by state or federal laws that have procedures for disposal of PII are automatically considered compliant with the new Colorado data privacy requirements.
Additionally, covered entities regulated by state or federal law on security breaches are considered to be compliant with Colorado's regulations as long as the Colorado attorney general is still notified as required by the state law. If the time periods required for notification conflict, the law with the shortest time frame for notice supersedes.
These provisions may help the regulated community achieve compliance. Even so, keeping track of what exactly must be done and who must be alerted can be tricky.
How will you keep all of these requirements straight?
Are You at Risk for a Data Breach?

I posted earlier this year about freshening up your wardrobe for school, etc. The truth is, your whole wardrobe should be stylish, even your lounge-wear! Wearing clothes that make you feel good all the time (even when just laying on the couch) will keep you confident and happy. The Daysail Hoodie, Urban Henley, Minnetonka Mocs, and J-Crew Saturday Pants are all great choices over that oversized t-shirt and sweatpants combo I so often throw on.


BACKGROUND: Long-term administration of the antifibrinolytic agent epsilon aminocaproic acid (EACA) reduces the rate of rehemorrhage in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), but is associated with cerebral ischemia. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate short-term administration of EACA before early surgery in patients with SAH. METHODS: Retrospective review of 356 patients admitted between June 2002 and December 2007 with a diagnosis of aneurysmal SAH. Medical records were reviewed to determine SAH risk factors, clinical grade at the time of admission, and incidence of rehemorrhage, permanent new-onset focal neurological deficits, computed tomography evidence of cerebral infarction, symptomatic vasospasm, and hydrocephalus. RESULTS: Patients underwent treatment of the ruptured aneurysm an average of 47.4 hours after admission and received an average total dose of 40.6 g of EACA. The mean length of time of administration of EACA was 35.6 hours. There was a total of 5 rehemorrhages, for an overall rebleeding rate of 1.4% and a rate of rehemorrhage per 24-hour period of 0.71%. Overall, the rates of symptomatic vasospasm and permanent neurological deficits attributable to ischemic stroke were 11.5% and 7.2%, respectively, and the incidence of shunt-dependent hydrocephalus was 42.3%. Patients who were treated with coiling had higher rates of symptomatic vasospasm and ischemic complications than patients who had surgery. CONCLUSION: Short-term administration of EACA is associated with rates of rehemorrhage, ischemic stroke, and symptomatic vasospasm that compare favorably with historical controls. The rate of hydrocephalus is relatively high and may be attributable to EACA treatment. Copyright © 2010 by the Congress of Neurological Surgeons.

Los Angeles Court Bans Ticket Challenge Assistance
The Los Angeles County, California Court has banned any education in or near a courthouse that may assist an individual in fighting a traffic ticket.
The Los Angeles County, California Court issued an edict last month banning any "education or counseling" within 100 feet of a courthouse that might assist individuals in fighting a traffic citation. The move comes in response to efforts by the editor of the highwayrobbery.net website to help individuals exercise their full legal rights with respect to red light camera tickets.
The court's war on education and counseling began in August 2004, when Judge John Meigs refused a request to allow distribution of legal challenge material within the Inglewood courthouse. "If you wish to distribute literature, it must be distributed outside the courthouse in a place that does not interfere with individuals entering or exiting the courthouse," Meigs wrote. According to court documents, the general order allowed such distributions within 10 feet of the entrance.
"I go out to the courthouses, every week, as part of my effort to help red light camera defendants get a fair shake," the editor explained. "I go there not just to observe the trials, but also to provide information to defendants I find there, to help them deal with their tickets."
Each red light ticket runs $341. "Many of the defendants in that part of town don't have any money," he told TheNewspaper. For the Inglewood courthouse, the stakes are high. It handles about $800,000 in red light camera fine revenue every month.
In September 2004, a judge ordered the arrest of the editor at the Inglewood courthouse after the man had provided "Peremptory Challenge" forms to defendants. These forms are used to disqualify a biased judge and request transfer of a case to a new judge. A timely challenge must be granted, but some judges take the legal maneuver personally.
The editor was formally charged with "distributing literature" less than ten feet from the building entrance. Refusing to give up his right to help others, he returned to the courthouse the next day and was nearly arrested a second time for holding a sign offering free help -- this time 45 feet from the entrance (see photo). The advice was politely offered, and anyone who asked for the information received a packet specifically tailored to various stages of fighting a ticket.
On November 15, 2005 the court fired back with the order extending the ban on free speech or assembly to 100 feet. "No person... shall, within 100 feet of any doorway to any courthouse... knowingly approach another person, within eight feet of such person, unless such other person consents, for the purpose of passing a leaflet or handbill to, displaying a sign to, or engaging in oral protest, education or counseling with such other person," the order states.
Violation of the edict carries a $1500 fine and potential "prosecution for criminal violations." A full copy of the edict is available in a 541k PDF file at the source link below.

The Real Destruction of the White Race, or, a New, and Very True, Meme
Posted by Socrates in genocide, genocide by jew, Genocide Convention, genocide of White culture, memes, memes/mottos, Socrates, UN, Western civilization, Western culture, Western decline at 10:08 am | Permanent Link
(I find it very ironic that all of the White Western countries signed the 1948 U.N. anti-genocide convention, called The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, pledging to prevent any and all attempts at genocide. Yet now, all of those countries are allowing the slow-but-sure genocide of White people! Slow or fast, genocide is genocide. Idea: send this article to your friends and relatives).
"The White or European peoples are being removed from the future by a process that will be referred to here as the "White Replacement and Destruction Movement," abbreviated as WRDM. If this movement runs its course the White race will have no future, and the future will be without the White race. This removal by replacement and destruction of the most dynamic, creative and advanced major branch of humanity is a development on a scale unparalleled in human existence, yet it is never discussed, acknowledged or recognized, and the great majority of humanity, including the European or White peoples themselves, seem to be totally unaware of it, lacking all knowledge of it, to the extent that if someone informs them of it they do not believe it, and react with total incredulity."

Will your keyboard peckings and www page save the white race?
Drive around any suburb in the KWA and you'll see there is nothing left worth saving.
Mike Andrews Says:
2 July, 2019 at 4:26 pm
Still beating that same old dead horse, eh Schiachperchten?
Who do you suppose are the ones responsible for the presence of 'the KWA' here in Amerika?
It isn't the KWA who have destroyed the white race, nor is it simply a freak of Nature that white numbers have entered into rapid decline.
Theosophical literature has long ago warned of the coming white disenfranchisement, as clearly noted in the words of H.P. Blavatsky, who wrote, prior to her death in May, 1891 that the year 1898 would bring the disenfranchisement of whites.
What is the reason, you might ask?
Why have the jews been so effete this past 121 years in overthrowing white rule on a global scale? How?
Take my word for it when i write that it isn't Negroes who are to blame for white plight.
Under the teachings proffered via the Doctrine of Cycles we find the answer: White Europeans crossed the two-thirds point in their allocated cycle of time, as above, in the year 1898.
As result, the jews have 'had the wind at their backs' in bringing empirical disenfranchisement to white Euros, under the terms and conditions described in Richard McCulloch's excellent article.
Because, the Universe is a synthesis of powers operating under the Great Law, Cause and Effect, as conditioned within the agency of FREE WILL.
There is a cycle of time for everything, just as hinted in Ecclesiastes.
A definitive summary of the duration of the great cycles has long been available via Theosophical sources in a manuscript named the Brahmanic Calculations.
In the latter we are informed that there are seven great cycles of time involved in the creation of a humanity — of which this is the Fourth.
Each great cycle, or kalpa, is divided by seven lesser cycles called root races.
Each root race is in turn divided by seven sub-races and each sub-race by seven national races.
The White European national race, like all national races, is slated to endure thirty thousand years — 1898 marking the twentieth thousandth year, and therefore a standard in turning points that arrives at the two-thirds mark, which bodes entry into senility and the paying of recompense for past wrongs.
Whites are now in pay-back mode.
But don't smirk, you readers, because karmic recompense comes to all who live.
Plus, since whites yet have another ten-thousand solar years remaining in their thirty-thousand year cycle, the party is far from over.
Therefore — present conditions will eventually give way to natural checks and balances so that whites are no longer relegated to a lowly status as exiles.
At the same time it is only fair and truthful to say that whites will never again ascend to their former levels of power.
Now: Having written all the above, there is one more thing to say before closing, which is this:
On 12-21-2012 our sun made a quantum leap over His old track through the Milky Way galaxy, landing on a new, 'high speed rail' which you may regard as the Aquarian Express.
On that Halcyon day 6-1/2 years ago our world entered the incipience of a new civilization in which the promise inheres in the stars that humanity WILL BE FREE!
Ask yourself the question, what will it take for all of the human family to know true freedom?
Ans: The jews must be excoriated from their petty thrones of power, yanked up by the short hairs and 'hung up wet to dry,' as the old cliche' goes.
Jews are as of these past 6-1/2 years already disenfranchised, but have yet to fully comprehend what has taken place.
A poignant marker to the above was the ushering of Donald Trump onto the Catbird Throne in 2016.
. . . Which latter falls under the old cliche', "you ain't seen nothing yet."
