The ruling part AKP wants to raise the retirement age to 65 while the life expectancy in Turkey is about 67 years. It means that most of the workers will die before being retired. The reform proposed by the government has been harshly criticised by labor leaders and opposition parties. Turkish unions launched a protest meeting in Istanbul against the sought social security and general health insurance bill. Here are the photos that I have taken."Real Turkiye"

It’s Sunday already? I’m taking a breather today, but I wanted to open up discussions again as usual. I also want to bring to your attention some protest information for any of you that might be in the NYC area on Monday. President Ahmadinejad of Iran is in New York, as most of you know, and he’s set to be a “Guest of Honor” at Columbia University. This in itself is a travesty and many people are quite upset about it, especially American Jews who aren’t too happy about a man that denies the Holocaust and threatens destruction of Israel on a fairly regular basis.

Our Academia in the U.S. have truly lost a good portion of their minds and American Common Sense to the ‘insanely liberal’ process.

Protest against David Irving meeting in Coventry tomorrow Tomorrow night (Friday 21 September), with the help of the British National Party, David Irving, the notorious Holocaust denier and liar, is booked to speak at the Royal Warwicks Club in Coventry. The following night he intends to speak in Windsor, where he now lives. Since his release from prison in Austria late last year Irving has gone back to his old ways, addressing a large audience of antisemites in Hungary, before moving on to a book fair in Poland, from where he was expelled. Back in the UK, Irving has so far spoken at a small meeting in Rugby and popped up in John Sweeney's Panorama programme, Weekend Nazis, signing his books for admiring men dressed up in SS uniforms. The promise of an invitation to speak to the European Society at St Andrews University rapidly evaporated after the university "raised concerns" about "security and use of their property". However Irving boasts that he still has another invitation to par

It's about damned time average everyday people started having their say against the evil of political correctness and call a spade a spade.
