EU Army: Does the World Really Need ANOTHER Army?

EU Army: Does the World Really Need ANOTHER Army?

The delightful news that President Macron and Chancellor Merkel are solidifying their dream of an all encompassing EU army today frankly brings up a little bile.

I mean how many armies are there in the world already? When it comes to big coalitions, we have NATO, and we have the Axis of Evil, and we have China which has about 3 Billion soldiers all on standby, and all the other little nations with their respective armies.

Do we really want another mega army stalking the corridors of power? The last time the world had this problem was in 1939 when Hitler assembled his vast army thanks to some American financiers and other assorted bankers.

The only reason the EU wants its own army is because of — Russia. That’s it! Plus, the EU as we wrote about before is the Third Reich backwards. First they conquered multiple nations peacefully utilising their economic power, then after the nations had been suitably amalgamated without a way out, they enforced an army on everyone. Hitler did the opposite, he assembled an army first and tried to take over Europe with force. This was the wrong way to go about things, as the EU engineers of the future would realise, Jean Monnet and crew with their German counterparts, Adenauer, decided to assemble their Reich utilising stealth and timing. The totalitarian tiptoe, where changes are eased in slowly, thus not alarming any of the sleeping populace. Move too fast with changes, and there are problems, people may start to see through the plan, and this could ruin everything.

The German army is back

 

The Daily Squib accurately predicted the EU army in 2012 when no one was talking about it. This is what we do, and this is why we are vilified and punished by the current monopoly internet controllers for seeing the truth many years before the fact. Naturally, they are the ones who should hold the truth, and not others, especially little fish like the Squib.

Nevertheless, if you can’t hear the alarm bells ringing now, you either don’t care, or are too asleep in the esoteric sense to even realise what is going on.

This is why it is imperative to leave the EU now, for we are in great peril, the danger rises daily not only from the East, but from our own front door, just across the Channel, the EU is hungry for more power and they are taking it upon themselves to push through with their Ukrainian plan of assimilation and the roads further inward. This will be the precursor for Russia to engage its enemy, once and for all.

 

By building another army, the EU is endangering world peace, because this monolithic monstrosity will coerce Russia and threaten it just by its very presence. Do the Russians want a monster army right next to their borders peering into their business, trying to steal Ukraine from them? Certainly not, is the definite answer, and we can see this from Russia’s behaviour during the recent Syrian conflict which Obama fucked up. There are invisible lines that should not be crossed when it comes to the peaceful stasis we are in right now, and having an EU army will not only destabilise everything, it will bring upon itself a great wrath never before seen.

 

Britain must stay away from this threat, and we must treat it with great suspicion. The EU army or Fourth Reich will not last just as its predecessor did not last, purely because the lust for more power is so enticing, and so blinding that the EU will make mistakes, and these mistakes will be the start of the European battlefield of the future.

Britain must stay with its true allies, the Americans and Australians, and it must unfortunately cut its losses with previously friendly European nations. These former sovereign countries have been severely compromised by joining the sovietized EU, and the euro currency is their ball and chain. They have sold out their own people and sovereign national statuses for economic imprisonment within an EU state that is moving towards its true aspiration of total global control. If you do not believe this, simply look at the recent EU regulations on the world wide web. Their EU internet rules supersede everything else, therefore we can see that they are now a global power exerting their diktats on the whole world.

The plan is to encompass the whole globe under one Union, and the controllers want this union to fly the EU flag as one entity, one singular world power and authority over every national state and people, of course led by Germany and France, their omnipotent masters.

These are grave times of danger we are now living in. Britain must extricate itself from the EU prison now, or it will not survive the next chapter.

Studying the Phenomenon of Banal Narcissistic Selfie Addicts Falling Off Cliffs

We now live in an age where narcissism and self love are encouraged to such a level that many people are putting their lives at risk to get that perfect selfie.

Whether it is atop a radio tower, or on the edge of a cliff, or on a train track, these people will do anything for their selfish need for likes on social media.

Analysing these people is not exactly a hard task, they are fucking narcissistic selfish schizoid pieces of shit addicted to the little serotonin hit they get every time some other equally brainless twat presses a ‘like’ for whatever image they put up about themselves.

Reading the news reports of many of these people dying to pursue their selfish narcissistic false dreams of glamour and internet celeb status is frankly a huge relief. It is quite true to say that we want more of these selfie people to fall off the edge of a cliff to be smashed into a gooey crunchy mess on the rocks below. It is most probably a relief not only for poor old battered planet earth, where these vile creatures take up unnecessary air molecules by breathing in the air, but for the internet itself, because there may be less of these talentless pustules popping up in the middle of your daily surf session.

Let us encourage more of these people to take their deadly selfies, make it a religion, where they meet their almighty selfie god in the annals of internet selfie stardom, their brains dashed against the hard concrete of eternal false pseudo-celebrity shame.

The smartphone companies and social media conglomerates must increase their fervour in enticing these morons to become more daring; maybe take a selfie just before a great white shark bites them in half whilst snorkeling near the Great Barrier Reef, or how about jumping into a lion enclosure just before feeding time at the zoo, for that very special gut spewing selfie?

We want more selfies, more daring stunts, maybe the dangerous escapades of these idiotic buffoons could reduce the depletion of the ozone layer, or better still stop the ice caps melting.

Has the human race come to such a pitiful level that people are killing themselves to get the best shot of their face to digitally publish it on some inconsequential digital platform made up of ones and zeros where other pitiful people press a button to like their picture? If this is the case, then all philosophy, science, literature and music of the past is now deemed useless because culture and society has been reduced to the lowest form of human existence by these selfie people.

Amongst the illiterate selfie addicts, the inability of the human race to focus for more than five seconds on any given subject, is a testament to negative social engineering, where the minds of many humans today have been literally turned to mush, to jelly, bereft of any brain cells. This is the future, and this is the reality, a generation of humans completely unable to process anything other than their fucking selfish selfies.

We want more of you, armies of selfie takers, growing daily, engineered for a short useless life, to be quickly forgotten when the new system of internet does not recognise the former’s syntax.

One must hand it to our digital overlords however authoritarian they are, at least they found a humorous way of ridding the world of the chaff, the useless eaters, the narcissistic selfish people, lemmings all following each other over the cliff, smartphones in hand. Adieu, farewell, into the pit you all go, one after the other, from nothingness, into supreme nothingness, the long sleep where time stands still and the only image they see is the eternal picture of their face just before they hit the ground.

Yes I’m beautiful, yes I’m beautiful, yes I’m…..Aaaaaargh..(splat!)

 

Shaving Company Emasculette Develops Razor Castration Device For New Generation of Men

Shaving Company Emasculette Develops Razor Castration Device For New Generation of Men

The latest product from Emasculette is wowing the new generation of femen who have no need for their testicles anymore by introducing a revolutionary castration razor device.

The Buzzfeed, Soy Boy generation of femen who develop ‘bitch tits’ after indulging in copious amounts of testosterone lowering soy products and support the soviet feminist movement denigrating all forms of masculinity, have been targeted by the marketing department of anti-male razor company Emasculette.

“We made a mistake by directly attacking all men in our last campaign, with an ad which saw our sales fall for traditional razors as real men discarded our product and chose to use alternative company shaving equipment. We have instead looked at our data research files and accumulated a new target for marketing our razors. We will exclusively sell our latest razor contraption to men who are effectively not real men anymore, and have willingly rejected masculinity,” Emasculette’s North American marketing account head, Nina Scrote told Marketing Week magazine.

“The Best a Former Man Can Get”

Emasculette’s product line will now discard traditional razors for real men, because sales have dropped to such a low level. The only positive thing that happened after their recent ad campaign was an increased level of discussion on social media, where men were posting pictures of their binned Emasculette products. They say all publicity is good publicity, however when you have no sales anymore, that quotation can be quietly discarded.

Emasculette Castrator

The Emasculette Castrator comes with the product tagline: “The Best a Man Can Be — Balless” and the product promises to flush away a man’s masculinity in seconds.

“With this product, we use double edged razors to chop off a man’s ball sack, you know the scrotum and testicles. In this day and age men don’t need those anymore. Fashioned much like a mini-guillotine, the contraption requires men to put their balls into an opening, the razor is lifted high on the scaffold and locked into place. By pressing a lever, or tapping a button on their smartphone, the razor drops at a speed of 100 MPH chopping off the man’s masculinity cleanly. After that, simply flush them down the toilet, take an aspirin and you too will be the Best a Man Can Be — Balless.”

After announcing the product’s launch on Buzzfeed and all social networks, the response for Emasculette’s Castrator has been stupendous.

“We never anticipated the rush to buy the product and how many soy drinking emasculated men there are out there. It just goes to show that the soviet programming of constant repetition of an anti-male agenda does work and we have reduced Western society to a place where men are taught to hate themselves from a young age. We have also indoctrinated men to view their masculine survival instincts honed over thousands of years as toxic. Mission accomplished we say.”

Castration is the new masculine

John Malvina, a soy drinking Twitter executive was one of the first to try the new Emasculette product and even tweeted about the event afterwards.

“I put my tiny little scrotum in the machine’s entrance point. It’s gotten real small from all those years of soy milk. Everything’s all clear in the instructions. Then I downloaded the Emasculette Castration app, from the Play Store. It counted down for me from ten and whoomph! my balls and everything were gone. The machine immediately seals everything up and you can take a painkiller pill afterwards if there is a slight itch. The great thing is I now have zero sex drive, my voice is now wonderfully high, I do not need to shave anymore, and my bitch tits just grew a few bra sizes — not much change from before then, eh! I am the new man of the office, and all the other men are getting their Emasculette Castrator kits too. Thank you so much. Ooh, I have to go now, the latest Ariana Grande song just came on the radio, she’s so fabulous, ooh look at her new hair do!”

The Emasculette product is being snapped up by thousands of tech companies in Silicon Valley to give to their male employees as well as prominent internet news companies like CNN, MSNBC, Buzzfeed and hundreds of university campuses across the United States.

Prostate and Grumble shares rose by 45% after the Castration razor kit was announced.

Mobile Gaming And Gambling To Continue Rising In 2019

Mobile Gaming And Gambling To Continue Rising In 2019

Would you not be surprised if we tell you that the global gaming market will soon reach a level of over £120 billion in 2019? Maybe not, but what if we tell you that about half of that growth is coming from the mobile gaming industry that has a current value of around £55 billion?

Mobile is nowadays in everyone’s hand in the whole world and this has allowed a considerable number of people to be continuously connected to the internet. If we look at 2018 itself, the mobile gaming apps have driven around 85% of all app revenue from Apple’s iOS and Google Play. The fact that mobile phones are always with us is a great opportunity for the best online casinos and others gambling companies to reach a new type of people: those that didn’t bother to connect much to the internet from their desktops. To make the most of the opportunity software developers have focused mainly on women and as a result one of the most significant increase came from this sector.

Not only the arrival of mobile phone has helped to reach new audiences but it has also increased the time spent and the play frequency from those demographics that were already involved in gaming. In recent times we have seen the introduction of many unlimited data plans, better speeds and higher quality graphics. These in conjunction with a reduction in file sizes has allowed the mobile gaming to make huge steps forward and grow as a result.

What is the future of Mobile gaming industry?

Surely it is a bright future although for this very reason competition is increasing. New game franchises are being launched nearly on a daily bases and more brands that are trying to get a piece of that cake.

Some Stats That Show The Growth of Mobile Gaming Industry

With the improvement in mobile phones the mobile gaming industry has been allowed to grow significantly over the last few years. Experts are predicting that it will grow by 60% between 2019 and 2022. Already in 2022 the revenue should reach £73 billion which is a staggering 200% increase in 5 years.

It is predicted that mobile gaming will be the dominant sector of gaming as it should reach half of the market already by 2020. Console games and PC games are likely to come second and third in the market with around 26% and 21% of gaming revenue respectively.

How Mobile Gambling Is Taking Advantage Of The Huge Mobile Gaming Popularity

For a gambling company, it is more and more critical to ensure they have a sound mobile gambling product. Mobile devices are part of our lives and if a gambling company can be seen and is able to reach their customers with quality products, they will benefit from this. Below we have looked at what are the man benefits that mobile technology has given to the gambling industry.

1 – More players are regularly using mobile devices
Lots of online gambling products have moved to mobile and this was facilitated by the improvement in Wi-Fi networks who are now more reliable and stable and easily allow for monetary transactions to be carried out safely with users that are trusting the mobile technology.

The average user picks up the mobile device more than 1,500 times every week and it is not surprising that mobile platforms are set to replace desktops.

2. Mobile devices are preferred by users as they are convenient
Having the opportunity to play while on the go it is great. Before a player would have to wait to get back home to place bets from the desktop. Nowadays you can place bets while you are at a sporting event for instance or you can play your favourite online casino game while you are going back home from work. For all those reasons, it has been verified that mobile players tend to convert a lot faster into paying customers and they usually spend more time playing online games.

3. Players can access betting options immediately
Live sports and live casino have benefited significantly from the growth in mobile gambling. The opportunity to have immediate access to your preferred game and get satisfaction from your betting session has changed the way gambling companies are approaching players. Operators have pushed the boundaries to provide better casino games to users which are fully optimised for the mobile platforms.

People are spending more time on mobile devices compared with desktop or laptop as they are convenient and practical to use. It is predicted that browser-based gambling will very soon be superseded by the mobile players: this has already started a revolution with operators that are now creating products which are either for mobile alone or are mobile-first. Delivering games that will maximise the powerful experience delivered by the newest smartphones will be paramount for gambling companies to continue to be successful.

Online gambling in the same mobile platform as social networks

Mobile platforms are delivering a great betting experience to customers and this is why those are returning. To keep users engaged gambling companies have created mobile products that are user-friendly and that can be loaded almost instantaneously even with slower networks.

Lots of gambling products are now well integrated even with social media platforms and this means that users can share with their mates how well they have done in a game or in a bet. This is an excellent opportunity for gambling companies to connect with younger audiences and again reach an entirely new target more differently and effectively than traditional advertising.

That Was Quick! Prince Philip Gets NEW Motor Delivered Less than 24 Hours After Car Crash

Prince Philip ‘s driving days don’t appear to be numbered just yet after a replacement vehicle was delivered to him – less than 24 hours after his horror smash.

The Cold War era tank was driven off the back of a lorry and into Sandringham at around Midday.

According to palace aides, when the Duke of Edinburgh saw the tank he squealed in abject glee, and farted.

“I’ve never seen the Duke so animated. He immediately plopped into the hatch above and commandeered the driver forward directly over one of the estate’s gardeners. The mess made over the rose bed was something awful, but Prince Philip quipped ‘That’s some quality fertilizer right there’ and his new toy moved on demolishing a shed in its path even shooting off a few rounds at some crows huddled in a tree.”

The Duke of Edinburgh, 97, is a keen military enthusiast and this new offering certainly knocks the socks off that puny Land Rover he was driving before.

One can only imagine the damage inflicted on the Duke’s sojourns to the local town, and his escapades on the Norfolk country roads.

Norfolk Police have however warned Prince Philip that if they see him driving the tank or shooting anything without wearing a seat belt he could be warned for his indiscretion.

“If we catch the Duke of Edinburgh in his new vehicle driving over other vehicles and going through houses without wearing a safety belt, we will first warn him, then if we catch him again not adhering to the road traffic safety rules we will be forced to give the palace a ticket of £45,” PC James Plodder told the local Norfolk Bugle newspaper.

Poker is Alive and Kicking in Canada

Poker is Alive and Kicking in Canada

The gambling industry in Canada is on the rise. In 2017 it grew 4.9 per cent, generating CA$17.3 billion in revenue from a mix of lotteries, casinos, charitable and online gaming according to a report by Fantini Gaming Research.

Factor in a surprisingly strong legacy in poker (unbeknownst to many players, it had a significant role in the online poker boom of the early 2000s) and it’s a more attractive destination for English-speaking players than many fans realise.

Ontario, the country’s most populous province, was the biggest growth area for overall gambling at 12 per cent with a 43 per cent market share. Quebec wasn’t far behind with $3.6 billion in earnings and British Columbia was hot on its heels in third place with revenue at $3.14 billion. Despite laws that some consider to make Canadian poker a legal grey area, there’s a lot of activity, both live and online.

Over the years Canada has produced and attracted its fair share of poker pros. The events of the USA’s Black Friday, when the United States Department of Justice issued an indictment against the three largest online poker websites in the country, had a significant effect in driving players over the border, but Canada had a healthy poker community regardless.

Big name players of poker in Canada include Parker “Tonkaaaa” Talbot, Mike Leah, and of course Daniel Negreanu. Some of the top live poker rooms in the country include Casino Regina in Saskatchewan; Winnipeg’s Club Regent in Manitoba; Casino Niagara at Niagara Falls, Ontario; Calgary’s Grey Eagle in Alberta and, in Quebec, the Playground Poker Club in Kahnawake.

Meanwhile, cities such as Vancouver attract large communities focused on the online poker scene, with big names like Galfond or Ben Tollerene having set up shop there but largely eschewing the live rooms.

The legal ins and outs

The current gambling laws in Canada favour poker rooms operated by provincial governments. Groups such as the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation or the Atlantic Lottery Corporation, which is co-owned by the provincial governments of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador, control the bulk of bricks and mortar gambling operations in Canada.

Sections 201 – 206 of the federal criminal code render all types of gambling and betting illegal throughout the country, with only pari-mutuel horse race betting exempt from the general prohibition. Section 207, introduced in 1985, allows all provincial and territorial governments to provide regulated gambling to Canadian citizens, however. That means that local authorities such as the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario oversee physical gambling operations and have created organisations like the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation.

Online Poker is less cut and dried

The application of Sections 201 – 206 and the accompanying 207 are less straightforward in their application to online casinos and poker, however.

In Canada, there’s usually a presumption against the extraterritorial application of the Criminal Code. Thompson Reuters notes, however, that “The question of whether the Criminal Code applies to online gambling offerings by foreign operators with operations established in jurisdictions where it is legal to do so, has not been definitively settled by the courts.” So, for example, an online casino could consider itself exempt from state control where there were considered to be no “real and substantial” connections to Canada and its citizens.

In practice, no charges have ever been brought against offshore poker operators offering services to Canadians. In fact, those companies are largely free to advertise their services across Canada, with the exception of Ontario where online gambling adverts have been banned since 2006.

In fact, the Quebec Superior Court recently ruled that the provincial government’s attempt to force internet service providers to block people from accessing online gaming websites was unconstitutional. The government had introduced Bill 74 in 2016 in an attempt to boost its provincially run Loto-Quebec, but after the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association took them to court to challenge the bill it was ruled that the law was only protecting the government’s monopoly, not customer’s rights. The ruling was hailed as both a huge win for the gambling industry and a victory for net neutrality.

Furthermore, the Kahnawake Gambling Commission was a popular choice for offshore gambling operators targeting the US market until 2016, when the Commission struck a deal with the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement which saw those sites barred from operating in the US.

So, while there could be grounds for the government to target gambling websites, it’s generally thought that there’s little appetite among lawmakers to do so.

While online poker operations serving Canadians work in a slightly hazy legal environment, there’s nothing to stop Canadians from accessing sites run from outside of Canada. As Canadian lawyer Zak Muscovitch puts it, “What is illegal is to operate a common betting house. It is the proprietor of the casino that is the person breaking the law. There is no actual law that would prevent a consumer from using the site.”

In practice, then, poker players have little trouble accessing online poker rooms. Most major Western online casinos accept Canadian players and some provincial governments have gone so far as to open their own sites, notably from Quebec and British Columbia.

Future Growth

Expect Ontario to continue seeing growth in the next few years. Fantini Gaming Research analysts say that the main reason for the province’s growth is that the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) has started privatising casino operations. The OLG, which is a Crown corporation of the provincial government, owns and manages all gambling operations in the region and selects different private operations for its products. As it continues to step up its activities, there’s also a drive to modernise casinos and other gaming venues that’s likely to benefit the local poker scene.

While there are some slightly unclear aspects of Canadian law when it comes to online gambling, it’s clear that the country has a healthy poker scene both on- and offline, and it’s likely to continue to grow.

The Indomitable Gauls ‘Gilets Jaunes’ Triumph Against Caesar Macron

Chief Vitalstatix is adamant that his horde of invincible Gaul Gilets Jaunes will not be defeated by the centurions who are subjugating the people unnecessarily with brutal methods of tear gas and beating.

The EU invaders led by Caesar Macron, do not know however that the Gauls have a secret to their successful rioting.

“We have our own druid, named Getafix. Yes, every morning before the riots proceed, in the back of the crowd, Getafix will be assembling the Gilets Jaunes all together in an orderly queue to receive their fix of his special recipe, a concoction so secret that Caesar Macron has sent his deadliest assassins and spies to try and steal. This magic potion is the secret of the Gilets Jaunes, and can never be revealed to anyone,” one Gilet Jaunes, Fulliautomatix, a local Parisian car mechanic revealed.

“Paf!” another centurion in riot gear flies up into the air, uppercutted by a furious Gaul. He briefly reaches the clouds before looking down and falling whilst flapping his truncheon trying to fly crashing through the Arc de Triomphe with an almighty splatting sound.

Caesar Macron has vowed to crush the Gauls and is developing his own secret potion in Brussels.

“I have asked our own druid, Jean-Claude Drunkalotix, for a solution to these invincible Gaul upstarts and he is concocting his own potion. The only problem is he is too drunk to do anything more because he keeps tasting it for flavour. Cognac, more cognac, and even more cognac! C’est impossible!”

On we go, how long will our Gallic heroes hold out to the increasingly brutal methods from the cohorts of centurions?

Aintree Grand National

Taking place in April over the course of three days, the Aintree Grand National is considered to be one of the most difficult racecourses for jockeys to navigate.

Duke of Edinburgh Auditions For New Dukes of Hazzard Film

The Duke of Edinburgh, 97, going on 19, last night auditioned for the latest instalment of Hollywood film series, The Dukes of Hazzard Visit Windsor County.

Driving his Land Rover Dodge Charger through the winding narrow streets of Windsor, the Duke expertly flipped the vehicle three times in the air, somersaulted across a duck pond, then landed on a bus stop before crashing through a chicken shed and coming to a full stop smiling like a cat that just slurped a bucket full of cream.

The Duke is one of the best drivers in the country having been trained by SAS instructors, and is an expert in counter ops driving skills.

“I’ve seen him go into an ambush laughing, expertly spin the vehicle around barely touching the kerb at speed, then ramming the terrorists whilst simultaneously firing a Heckler & Koch through the windscreen,” the Duke’s protection officer revealed.

The Hollywood production team were thoroughly impressed by the Duke’s motoring skills, and want to hire him as Bo and Luke’s long lost uncle sixteen times removed, Eddie Duke.

Director Brad Mullin, was positive that the Duke of Edinburgh was right for the job.

“When he saw the actress playing Daisy, we saw this wild glint in his eye, because at the time she had just bent over to pick up her hairbrush. He whistled at her and shouted ‘Ere darling, watch what I can do!” and vroom his car work was goddamn amazing. I knew he was the man for the role right away.”

The new Dukes of Hazzard film will be set in the backstreets of Slough and Windsor. Bo and Luke plus the rest of the team receive a letter of distress from their long lost uncle Duke Edinburgh. They fly across the Atlantic and have the General Lee shipped over to help him out of his troubles. Boss Hogg, Rosco and Enos will also have prominent roles.

The film will be released in 2020 Warner Bros announced.
