Brickbat: Thought Crime

Police Scotland has agreed to pay £5,500 ($6,967 U.S.) to settle a lawsuit brought by Angus Cameron, a street preacher who was handcuffed and detained for "homophobic language." The agency will also pay £9,400 ($11,907 U.S.) for Cameron's legal costs. The police also agreed to remove a "non-crime" hate incident report from Cameron's record. Last year, Police Scotland entered more non-crime hate reports into its records than the actual number of hate crimes it responded to.

Americans generally take their Constitutional rights for granted. They are often genuinely surprised that other advanced, Western nations routinely do things which would be patently unconstitutional in the US.
A country that has haggis as it's national dish is not advanced.
They needed to balance their advancement after providing the world two of the greatest minds ever, Smith and Maxwell. Least the British take notice, the better for Scotland.
i give them a bit of a pass for their scotch though.
The International Court of Justice has ruled today that South Africa’s charge against Israel for committing genocide in Gaza is plausible meaning that signatories on the UN genocide convention must compel Israel to cease.
Netanyahu has said he will ignore the ICJ regardless that Israel is also a signatory on the genocide convention.
The US has already used its veto power several times to deny UN rulings that Israel must cease its genocide in Gaza.
What will happen to the UN if the US also continues to ignore the ICJ, the highest power in the UN?
I wonder in context. How terrible are the dirty secrets that Israel is blackmailing the US and other world leaders with such that genocide is merely the cover up?
South Africa may have charged it and the ICJ may have ruled it but the charge is not, in fact, plausible.
It's also worth noting that according to the treaties and resolutions establishing the ICJ, acceptance of the court's jurisdiction is voluntary. So it's pretty toothless - which means that over the years, it's been routinely exploited for political rather than actual judicial purposes. If the ICJ is "the highest power in the UN", then there's not much point to having a UN. Thankfully, you're wrong on that point.
The international court of Justice say you’re wrong.
Both the US and Israel are signatories to the UN genocide convention and are as such obligated to abide by its rules even when they’d prefer not to.
The provisional rules can only be met by Israel stopping it’s genocidal actions, admitting and recording they are and the US, and other complicit allies stopping all support of the genocide and compelling Israel to comply with the ICJ ruling.
We know Jews are liars, now we can see if the US and all others are serious about the UN and ICJ or whether as signatories are liars also.
People whose identity is legitimately based on suffering a holocaust don’t commit one.
Surprise, surprise - a government agency denies that there are limits to its authority. Sorry, you're going to have to come up with a better source than a self-serving press release.
The fact that Israel (and the US) are signatories to the UN genocide convention is irrelevant because what's going on in Gaza is not in fact genocide. The ICJ's ruling to the contrary is, again, toothless.
Rather than continue to blindly accuse everyone else of lying, maybe you could spend a few minutes actually looking for some truth yourself.
It’s no surprise that Jews words, SIGNED ON THE CONVENTION, mean nothing.
The rest of the world now has the legal teeth to stop your genocide.
Condemnation is the good people’s reaction to bad people committing genocide.
The term antisemitism has expired Jew.
People who’ve suffered a holocaust don’t turn around and commit one.
The following points refute key elements of the holocaust with logic and science. Truth can’t be refuted.
There has been no objective forensic analysis at any supposed site. There is no physical evidence. Any activity that demonstrates and shares evidence to refute the holocaust is a crime in every nation where it allegedly occurred.
The fact that all evidence that refutes the holocaust is criminal in every nation where it allegedly occurred is especially relevant if you are accepting any evidence at all from those nations.
Refusing to consider evidence is the definition of bias, bigotry and a disregard for justice.
Without objective forensic evidence all we have is a story made up of piecemeal recollections of events from paid and coerced fuckwitnesses.
I refute those stories with correctly applied logic and science.
The crucial event of the story is the cyanide gassing of millions of Jews. That couldn’t have happened as claimed. The story is bullshit.
Jews have published books illustrated with pictures of themselves shirtless dragging piles of gassed bodies from the chambers to cremation ovens.
But cyanide is absorbed through the skin and NOBODY could have survived a single day of such activity much less collecting reparations into their old age reminiscing about it years later.
Those fuckwitnesses lied.
Anyone who ever saw the naked body of somebody who died from cyanide asphyxiation would NEVER forget the red skin colour. The bodies necessary reaction to being unable to process oxygen.
Not a single surviving fuckwitness ever mentioned it.
Also, no dark cherry red skin discolouration was visible in any supposed photographs of bodies of so-called victims of the holocaust.
The fact is that you can’t explain it and your bigotry prevents you from recognizing the ONLY logical conclusion.
Not a single fuckwitness testimony or alleged photograph of bodies was of anyone who died from cyanide exposure.
So much for the “evidence” of a holocaust.
And so it goes with every bullshit story told by paid and coerced lying fuckwitnesses. The facts prove otherwise.
Have you ever heard of the Bletchley park decrypts of the famous German enigma machines? It was credited for turning the tide of the war as allies knew what military actions the Germans were planning.
Only released in the 1980s those translated messages included prison camp information, deaths, transfers and requests for medicines to treat illnesses. The numbers of dead don’t support the holocaust narrative of which there was also no mention of.
Here are some actual enigma decrypts from Bletchley park in 1942 when deaths were at their highest.
Covering the period 3rd Aug. 1942 – 25th Sept. 1942
A further examination is made of Concentration Camp figures; deaths from typhus have reached a very high figure in AUSCHWITZ.
A suspected case of typhus is reported from AUSCHWITZ (223b/42). It is probable that on the 6th August Nachschubkdtr. Russland Mitte requests typhus vaccine for 50 men and spottenfever serum for 20
For the first time returns are given for deaths of prisoners (223b/14,24,43,50): the figures for August are: NIEDERHAGEN 21, AUSCHWITZ 6829 (or 6889) men, 1525 women;.
Firstly the number of dead for the month are nowhere near what is necessary to support the holocaust narrative.
Secondly, notable is the concern over typhus deaths and the requests for medical supplies to treat.
Thirdly, are you willing and eager to perform the feeble mental gymnastics required to believe, as the story goes, that Germans were communicating in code about prison camps while talking plainly about their military actions with their top secret enigma machines?
That would require you to really believe that Germany INTENTIONALLY lost the war to cover up the holocaust while ostensibly leaving lying witnesses alive in the prison camps to tell their stories as they retreated. The contradiction refutes the story.
Let’s not forget another old timey favourite.The story of Babi Yar is a popular lesson in Jewish schools described as the single largest event of the holocaust.
The lesson is that between 30,000 and 100,000 Jews were taken to a ravine in Ukraine where they were killed.
The story is told by one Jewish survivor, Dina Pronicheva, an actress who testified that she was forced to strip naked and marched to the edge of the ravine. When the firing squad shot, she jumped into the ravine and played dead. After being covered by thousands of bodies and tons of earth she dug herself out, unscathed, when the coast was clear and escaped to tell the story.
She is apparently the only person in history to successfully perform a matrix bullet dodge at a firing squad. The soldier aiming point blank at her never noticed her escape. Never walked a few steps to the edge of the ravine to finish her off.
They were stripped naked to leave no evidence. Naked she had no tools to dig herself out from under 30,000 bodies and tons of dirt.
Only after the deed was done, the nazis realized that so many bullet ridden bodies were evidence. Oops, rookie move. So they brought more Jews and millions of cubic feet of firewood to dig them up, cremate them on gravestones and scatter their ashes in surrounding fields.
There has been no forensic investigation at the site. None of the bullets allegedly burned with the bodies have been recovered. Not one shred of physical evidence of this has ever been found.
There are military aerial photographs of the area at the time but they don’t show any evidence of the narrative, no people, no equipment, no firewood, no moved earth, no tracks of any kind.
Simply stating these facts is a crime in Ukraine where the Babi Yar narrative is taught in school.
The numbers of dead from German enigma decrypts does align with Red Cross numbers.
The Red Cross was founded in 1863 with the purpose of protecting the interests of victims of conflicts.
The Red Cross regularly visited all prison camps. It was their job to report the cause of all deaths. They recorded a grand total of 271,000 among all camps for the entire war. It is a matter of record.
The holocaust fairytale requires us to believe that they were so unaware of what might be happening that they completely missed 95% of the victims in prison camps.
AND that they had not so much as an inkling that a holocaust was going on right under their noses even though allied media propaganda was reporting it and it was their sole mission to identify it. Because there is no evidence of any Red Cross document suggesting they did.
Are you performing those feeble mental gymnastics? How gullible are you?
Zyklon B is an off the shelf insecticide used among other places in Prison camps to delouse clothing and bedding to save lives by preventing deadly typhus. The system used for years before and during the war throughout Europe employed heating to release cyanide gas, fans to circulate the gas and more to exhaust the chambers to make the de loused articles safe to handle.
Pictures of this equipment and the small de lousing buildings with clothing racks still exist in Prison camps. But no evidence of any gas delivery system has ever been found in the shower houses where the bullshit holocaust allegedly occurred. In fact, the story has changed to that they just threw the heat activated pellets onto the cold drainless floors in rooms full of people.
Such an inefficient method would have taken too long to kill the required number of Jews. The pellets couldn’t be spread evenly in rooms full of people. The cold drainless floors would have delayed the release of cyanide from the pellets that people would have swept away from themselves. Any dead would have released all their bodily fluids and their bodies covering the pellets. Vomit would have been added to the floor prior to entering such a room.
According to the testimony of the so called survivor, the timing entering the chambers immediately, the details shirtless survivor, piles of bodies with unvented cyanide gas pockets in every space, death from repeated exposure as per testimony would have been necessary, not just possible.
According to Martin Gilbert in his book, Holocaust Journey, the gas chambers at Treblinka utilized carbon monoxide from diesel engines. At the Nuremberg trial of the Nazi war criminals, the American government charged that the Jews were murdered at Treblinka in “steam chambers,” not gas chambers.
Gasoline engine exhaust contains about ten times the carbon monoxide than diesel. Diesel exhaust is relatively safe. Even if the Diesel engines were running at their maximum of 500 ppm, death would take several hours. Far too long to support the narrative.
If Germans had used gasoline engines, death would have been in a few minutes. But in the holocaust narrative for treblinka diesel was used even though Germany had plenty of gasoline for their tanks. Nuremberg still recorded that they were “steam chambers”.
Somebody is lying. They weren’t both steam chambers and diesel gas chambers.Which stupid lie is more believable? Does it even matter to you?
The story of gassing Jews began as British propaganda to turn popular opinion against Germany. It was inspired to draw attention away from Jewish Bolshevik war crimes in Russia because that would work against allied propaganda. It also served global Jewish interests to create undeserved sympathy for Jews who had publicly organized boycotts of Germany to drive Germany to war.
There is a documented letter from the head of British propaganda to the head of the war office recommending that they cease the “gassing Jews“ propaganda because there was no evidence for it and if found out would work against their propaganda efforts.
Head of British Psychological Warfare Executive (Propaganda), Victor Cavendish-Bentick in a handwritten note, wrote on Aug 27th, 1943,
“We have had a good run for our money with this gas chamber story we have been putting about, but don’t we run the risk eventually we are going to be found out and when we are found out the collapse of that lie is going to bring the whole of our psychological warfare down with it? So isn’t it rather time now to let it drift off by itself and concentrate on other lines that we are running.”
Public Record Office Document F0371/34551 revealed by Stephen Mitford Goodson, ‘Inside the South African Reserve Bank’.
Jews had been publicly claiming a holocaust of 6 million Jews in various nations no less than 166 times between 1900 and 1945. Only to coerce sympathy to raise money. Like the wastes of skin who fake cancer on go fund me pages.
What’s the probability after being proven lying about 6 million Jewish deaths by holocaust over 166 times that the 167th claim is true? Better to buy a lottery ticket. Though the bullshiit narrative has been like a lottery bonanza for Jews.
The only thing the bullshit holocaust narrative has in common with WW2 is that they were both the creation of Jews.
These Jewish leaders are admitting it. Are they lying?
They are properly referenced quotes from Jewish leaders demonstrating that they had intended to create and force Germany into WW2.
That kind of evil is absolutely relevant when considering the character required to lie to the world about a holocaust for the 167 th time.
“We Jews are going to bring a war on Germany”. David A Brown, national chairman, united Jewish campaign, 1934.
“The Israeli people around the world declare economic and financial war against Germany …holy war against Hitlers people”
Chaim Weismann, the Zionist leader, 8 September 1939, Jewish chronicle.
The Toronto evening telegram of 26 February 1940 quoted rabbi Maurice l. Perlzweig of the world Jewish Congress as telling a Canadian audience that” The world Jewish Congress has been at war with Germany for seven years”.
The only reason you're bitching is your hatred of Jews.
Fucking Nazi is going to derail a good Scottish thread because he's too ignorant to understand the difference between Haggis and the Hague.
Jews are committing a holocaust in Gaza AND are denying it AFTER the highest international court in the world has ruled that they stop.
Jew, your hypocrisy has been recognized by the entire world today.
Did you catch Hamas' re-tweet, wherein they demanded Israel abide by the ICJ order?
"Sami Abu Zuhri, a senior Hamas official has told Reuters that the ICJ decision is an important development that contributes to isolating Israel and exposing its crimes in Gaza. He also called for Israel to be forced to implement the court’s decisions."
Maybe Sami should discuss the implications of this with Ghazi:
"A senior Hamas official said in an interview aired last week that the October 7 attack against Israel were just the beginning, vowing to launch "a second, a third, a fourth" attack until the country is "annihilated."
Ghazi Hamad – whose comments were transcribed by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), a Washington-based think tank – added in the LBC interview that "Israel has no place on our land. We must remove the country because it constitutes a security, military and political catastrophe.""
Take it up with the International Court of Justice.
I just bet you've got your tweezers and your jeweler's loupes out and you're greasing up with pure pig fat working that nanopene with joy at the idea that those dirty jews are gonna get the comeuppance your dear fuhrer was denied.
Christ, Misek, we can almost hear your grunting as you type.
If you’re looking for a bogeyman, look in the mirror genocidal Jew.
Let us not forget Watt.
A country that has haggis
We have Goetta, which is basically the same thing.
Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry seem to have noticed some of that...
I don't expect any British country to follow the 1st Amendment, but I would expect a country with an Established Religion (official and tax-supported) to know what is in that religion's holy books and not ban direct quotes from them.
The Scottish government hates hate. So, they thought he was a hater and they hated that. Now they have to pay for hating his hate? Got it.

The Scottish cops were just not creative enough!
Back in the 1980s I participated in petition drives to get Libertarian candidates on local and state ballots. Our operation had a whole list of Thou shalt nots meant to keep us from pissing off those we wanted to get signatures from and to keep the cops from having actual cause to cite us for whatever.
