Missed The Xmas Do. By Uncle Monty.
Photos & Graphics By Alex Albion.
***
Due to bad timing on my own part and the
freezing London cold weather of last week that
played havoc with my heart condition that made
me walk at close to snail pace, I arrived at
Hamilton Hall quite abit late to attend The
British Heritage Christmas Social that I
had looked forward to so much.
***
The security gate was closed and locked as
I looked helplessly on to find nobody there
after being 30 minutes late. It was my own
fault and nobody else’s! I could not find any
way around the security situation no matter
how hard I tried. I then just kicked myself
and realised I had missed the Xmas do
of the year.
***
So I grabbed a cab and headed straight back
to my warm homebase. The problem was my
taxi driver didn’t know the location of where
I lived as he pulled out his London A to Z
map halfway thru the journey. He, the white
driver in his mid-30 ’s, was as frigid and im-
personal as the bitterly cold weather. I had to
direct him to dump me off at the right place.
***
As I sat in the back seat of the black cab, I was
shivering from head to toe and I was panting
from the biting cold as my heart beat banged
back and throw like a badly thrown or
an off side pitched baseball.
***
The driver finally yelled out mechanically at
me to ask if I was okay. Had I kicked the bucket
right then and there, I suspect he’d have dropped
me off dead on the street and left me there ...
And then, he’d have hit the acceleration pedal
to get as fast as he could from out of there.
But first he’d have probably gone thru my
pockets to find my money to pay him for the
cab fare I owed. That’s how cold he appeared
to me to be. No wonder England is now so full
of so many bloody cold people who would
more likely cut your throat first than
help you out ...

not. Here then are some photos of my fond

Those fine folkz at The British Heritage Christmas
do were also united in their mutual detestation of the
person and name of vile Tony Blair and his socialist
gangsters of New Labour and what they've done to
destroy what was once this beautiful British
Nation and her good and true people ...
Tony Blair, Inc. By Uncle Monty.
.=.
War Criminal. New Labourist. British Traitor.
Champagne Socialist. Mass Immigrationist.
False Prophet. Pro-Muslim, Anti-Patriot.
Self-Centered Opportunist. Instigator of
Broken Britain. Pathologically Pro-Black.
Money Hungry Git. Skilled & Bare Face Liar.
.=.
Thus in about 30 words, Blair is fully summed-
up in my Anglican and anti-socialist eyes.
.-.
The latest on him is that he's now to be paid
47 millions dollars to advise the Kuwaiti
government on how to govern itself!! Tony
Blair, Inc., makes me sick. I just want to vomit
all over him. It seems the more he's hated
at home, the more they love him abroad!
Then in late January, 2011, he's to be called
back before the Sir John Chilcot Iraq Inquiry to
help clarify "gaps" in his previous testimony.
Being the skilled and bare face liar that he is, I
think it's a waste of time and tax payer money
to have him publicly grandstanding yet again.
The best situation is to have him arrested
and detained as a war criminal above all else.
To close for now, I have included recent
news items below concerning vile Blair ...

WikiLeaks. By Uncle Monty.




More Power To WikiLeaks.
By Uncle Monty.
Writeovers By Alex Albion.
...
FINALLY! FINALLY!!
Founder of whistleblowing website WikiLeaks
was given bail by a British High Court judge
amid scenes of wild rejoicing by his supporters.
(Latest Update at 14:00 GMT, London, UK.)
...
Now for the latest shocker!! It was the British
Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and NOT
the Swedish prosecutor who appealed against
Julian Assange being granted bail. The CPS is
riddled with Muslims, blacks and EU foreigners,
due to New Labour's political and racial agenda
of the past 13 years while it was in power. In-
deed, the CPS is hardly British anymore. All
of these goings on regarding the WikiLeaks
man can be solved in one minute: DROP
THE UNJUST CHARGES against him of so-
called rape, assault, and sex crimes. Once such
charges are dropped, neither can the CPS nor
the other lynchers pursue him like they have. Of
course, the Yanks across the pond are the ones
to watch for their level of revenge against those
who dare challenge them, like Julian Assange
has with the huge release of the US Cables by
him, is always harsh and vindictive. Today,
Julian Assange is set yet again to appear in
court to overturn the CPS's attempt to keep
him jailed while the Swedish extradition process
takes months to resolved one way or another.
Yes, he was freed on bail only to have the
dreadful folkz at the CPS pull their dirty trick
against him ... So to jail they sent him again.

Freed, But Not Freed. By Uncle Monty.
It's an absurd situation in that Julian Assange is
freed, yet NOT freed. With the London court today
having granted him bail, he must still stay in the
London prison while the pigheaded Swedish pro-
secutor appeals his bail!! Such is a cruel twist of
so-called justice that sees him now in legal limbo
that he shouldn't be. "The law is an ass," declared
one of Charles Dickens' characters of over a cen-
tury ago. Today, British and European law is even
more of an ass! Yet, they're allowed to get away
with such all in the name of modern "justice."
There is, of course, no such thing as justice no
matter what other folkz say. And, no matter
what, Juilan Assange continues to impress
me more and more ... Hang in there, mate!!

'Prepare for all-out cyber war'
Government sites braced for attack by pro-WikiLeaks
'hacktivists.' By Cahal Milmo & Nigel Morris.
Updated: Dec. 14th, 2010.
...
:: Now read my earlier story -
More Power To WikiLeaks ::
Not only is the WikiLeaks founder Julian
Assange, 39, up against the almighty power
of the state over the powerless individual, he is
also up against trained covert agents who might
assassinate him on behalf of the disgruntled and
exposed governments of world, but most of all
by murderous US of A, with WikiLeaks’
250.000+ leaked US diplomatic cables that
strips bare the full deceit and chicanary of what
has been dubbed “The American Empire.”
.
(Scroll Down Its Frontpage for All Mirror Sites)
.
Now they've locked up the WikiLeaks man in a
London prison all in full daylight on what appears
to be rather trumped-up charges of rape, sex,
and assault brought against him by a female
Swedish prosecutor, who then asked Interpol
to grabbed him under an extradition warrant
to face such criminal charges. At London's
Westminster Magistrates' Court the guy on
the bench - Howard Riddle - denied Julian
Assange bail claiming he was a "nomad" with
no fixed address and was therefore likely to
flee the country to aviod facing the charges.
What the half-ass magistrate seems to have
forgotten is that the WikiLeaks man could
have absconded months ago, if he wished to
flee and not clear his good name. He didn't,
he stayed and even surrendered voluntarily
to the extradition cops of Scotland Yard, who
then promptly arrested him on the spot!
Nice guyz, ah?
...
With his worldwide network of cyberspace supporters, who are rightly up in arms against the dirty tactics deployed against Julian Assange by the corporate monsters Visa/Mastercard, PayPal (no pal of free speech), Amazon, and the Swiss Banks, etc., with the sole intent and purpose of crippling WikiLeaks, some of the global companies have now felt the anger of his dedicated supporters in retaliation of what they've done to Julian. More power to them, too, along with WikiLeaks.
...
And with such a worldwide network of pro-WikiLeaks supporters,
Julian Assange isn’t alone even if he’s now locked up all alone at
London’s grim and dreadful Wandsworth prison . His imprisonment
is the shame of Britain. And, a human rights violation against him
by the Swedish prosecutor trying to degrade and humiliate
him for her own prosecutorial ends and PC agenda
...
In the meantime, to repeat again, such corporate monsters
like Visa/Mastercard, PayPal (no pal of free speech), Amazon,
the Swiss Back, etc., all arbitrarily pulled the plug on Julian
Assange with the sole and deliberate intent and purpose of
crippling all matters to do with WikiLeaks. Their corporate
tactics stemmed from obvious pressure from the US
Government and the ilk of US Senator Joseph Lieber-
man of Connecticut. His aim was to prevent the world
public from digesting the whistleblowing website.
Lieberman is also a major player in the
Israel/Zionist lobby at D.C.
...
That as it maybe, but those corporate monsters were soon
attacked and hacked by Julian Assange’s skilled hackers
that paid an expensive price and ensuing business havoc
against Visa/Mastercard, PayPal, etc., and that saw some
crash pretty badly. BRAVO! More power to those good
hackers along with WikiLeaks. And those same
monsters have more to come ...
...
When Interpol issued its “Red Alert” from Sweden for
the arrest of the WikiLeaks founder, what most people
didn’t realize is the actual role of such an international
police organization. Interpol is essentially a paid arm of
the all intrusive power of the state against the accused.
Interpol serves no justice other than to criminalize both
the guilty and the innocent all in one go. It is also a
repository of millions upon millions of accused names
from around the world for alleged crimes ranging
from the utterly bizzare to the utterly mundane.
Like all police forces, Interpol feeds and expands on
its self-serving task of being a law unto itself at the
expense of the tax paying public. The rhetoric of
fighting against crime is a powerful one that the
public seems always to buy when much of the
crime today is as much to do with spiralling
arrest rates around the world and that fits
nicely into the PR of the police.
...
Interpol above all else is characterized by the American
police mentality of being “the hunter” against “the hunted"
from around the world. ” And is crime reduced by what they
do? Of course not and it never will. Julian Assange is also a
victim of Interpol’s unquestioning readiness to always serve
the state against the accused. That’s why he now sits ignobly
inside one of London’s biggest and worst prisons in what
sounds like trumped-up rape and sex charges from the
Swedish prosecuter Maria Häljebo-Kjellstrand, who is
a known political feminist at best. She hates men!!
...
So now aside from being forced to fight his extradition
to Sweden, and to obtain his freedom from out of
jail, the WikiLeaks man may soon find himself in-
dicted for espionage in the US by some empanelled
and secret grand jury convened by some power
hungry American federal prosecutor that could
well see Julian Assange eventually handed over to
the Yankees not only by Sweden, if he gets there,
but even by Britain cowtowing to such American
demands. The American Grand Jury is an invidious,
medieval, and cruel instrument used by all
manner of Yankee prosecutors to prosecute
both US citizens and non-natives
pretty well ad lib.
...
With WikiLeaks now a reality, such also makes the
information obtained under say Britain’s Freedom of
Information Act look like bits of dead chicken feed
compared to WikiLeaks.
...
Come Tuesday, Julian Assange will probably face that some
half–ass magistrate Howard Riddle who first unjustly sent
him to jail on remand. He’s going to need Fort Knox to
pay his astronomical legal bills to hopefully stay free.
...
As for WikiLeaks “headquarters” based at Sweden's
Stockholm, the mainframe computers or servers
there are housed inside big caves that could also
withstand a nuclear blast!! From there, Julian
Assange’s devout followers have successfully set-
up mirror sites around the globe so that folkz like
you and I can still have access to those 250,000+
classified cables to read at one’s own pace. I must
say of the British national dailies, too, that The
Guardian newspaper has been in the forefront of
publishing in detail many of those extraordinary
cables. While The Sun has described Aussie-born
Julian Assange as a “creep.” If he is a creep,
then I must be a one-legged kangaroo!

Budda. By Uncle Monty.

Budda. By Uncle Monty.
Budda Photos By Alex Albion.
ooo
Now standing dormant and also “for sale” at the
real estate price tag of almost two million U.S.
dollars, The Linh Son Temple hasn’t been an
active religious centre of Buddhist worship
for over seven years now.
ooo
One of The Many Buddhist Figures.
ooo
Yet to visit the temple was an absolute treat
for a professing Anglican like me with its 250
Buddhist figures ranging from bigger-than-life
size statues to delicate miniature figurines all
found at the outdoor display. The Buddhist
symbolism was almost over powering as I first
visited the fascinating Linh Son Temple just
off chance as I drove by with friends going
elsewhere.
ooo
Miniature Pagoda.
ooo

When I saw the temple, I promptly had
to stop and then walk thru the beautiful
gold-leaf gates to explore the inner sanctum
of Ancient Buddhism. It was a whole new
adventure for me. And, I was the only visitor
there that day as my friends stayed in the
car. Thus, I had the whole temple, if you will,
all to myself except for the temple gardener
hosing down the white marble statues to
ensure that they stayed perfectly clean and
marble white. He openly and kindly invited
me in to explore the inner temple and I
most certainly did. It was fabulous!!
ooo
All Gold Leaf Statue Standing at 20 ft. high.
ooo
Lon Son Temple was the first temple I had
visited in Europe. Peace and quietude then
enveloped me. I was in a new spiritual world
that I had not experienced before even though
I had previously visited two ancient Buddhist
temples inside atheistic North Korea while att-
ending there the 95th birthday celebration
of its founder and dictator Kim Il Sung at
Pyongyang. Such North Korean temples did
not compare to the peaceful life force I
found while inside The Linh Son Temple
for perhaps 90 minutes undisturbed.
ooo
Marble White Was He.

ooo
What I also discovered was that Buddhism has several different branches of faith and practice
as is also found in other faiths like Christianity – Catholicism, Anglicanism, Orthodoxy, Methodism, and what have you. In all Buddhism of whatever kind the crucial center of its faith is obviously Budda or Buddha. Like Christ is the center of all Christian faith. I profess, however, that I have no knowledge or expertise on Buddhism. The world's most famous Buddhist is surely the exiled Dalia Lama and that is all I really know about Buddhism.
ooo

ooo

To know that such a temple is for sale seems so odd to me for I would not have thought such would not be put on the real estate market, but rather disposed of privately. In any event it is for sale and I assume it will eventually be sold to some Buddhist group or faithful individual. For me to have a temple to explore all to myself was also quite unreal! Whatever, I had no fear and I was certainly pleased to be invited in at The Linh Son Temple. I had never seen before such an array of Buddhist religious imagery like I did there. To see some 250 images fills the eyes and minds of anybody, be they Buddhist or not. Such certainly filled mine.

it and bringing such Budda photographs
for you all to share from me.

Faith is now 'a consumer commodity in America', warns new book. New York (ENInews). In a culture that places a high premium on the consumer marketplace, U.S. churches have become too willing to embrace a "market mentality" in trying to attract followers, says a new book by a journalist who is an ordained minister. "Thieves in the Temple: The Christian Church and the Selling of the American Soul", by G. Jeffrey MacDonald, argues that faith "has become a consumer commodity in America". This, he says, is a grievous mistake, because the Church is not a business. "Unlike commercial enterprises that sell widgets or life insurance, the Church doesn't exist to satisfy the wants of customers," MacDonald writes in the book, which focuses on U.S. Protestant congregations.
