Endorsement for the Suriname Presidential Election

On Monday 19 June, Juche, 99 the Republic of Suriname will be holding its presidential elections. The parliament of Suriname elects the president every six years. In this election I will be endorsing former military ruler Dési Bouterse. His party, the National Democratic Party won parliamentary elections about a month ago. The NDP failed to win an outright majority, so it is very likely that Bouterse will not be elected.

92 Wonderful Years Without the Tsar!

On 16 July, 1918, Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Tsarina Alexandra, their children and their doctor were executed by the will of the people. Following the Great October Revolution, the Soviets under the leadership of Lenin overthrew the autocratic regime of Tsar Nicolas II. Nicholas II was declared an enemy of the people and volunteered to go into internal exile within the newly founded Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic. On 16 July, 1918, the order came from Comrade Yakov Sverdlov to execute the former Royal Family. The Royal family was executed in the basement of their home in Yekaterinburg, which was later renamed Sverdlovsk after Soviet politician Yakov Sverdlov, who approved the execution. The execution became a symbolic political act indicating that there was no turning back to the autocratic monarchy. The execution was carried out by members of the Bolshevik Party.
Following the untimely collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on 25 December, Juche 80, the Russian Orthodox Church beatified the royal family. I strongly opposed the beatification of the former Royal family over their relationship to Grigory Rasputin. I believe that their relationship with the “Mad Monk” is actually heresy and they should not be considered saints. I believe the Soviet stance on the former royal family is correct and they are enemies of the people, or vrag naroda.

Lula Moves to Ban Spanking

Yesterday 14 July, Juche 99, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva announced that he will seek a law which would ban spanking in the Federative Republic of Brazil. If a parent is caught spanking their child, the first time they will receive a warning, the second time the state will have the right to remove the child from the parents, and the parents will receive a fine or a jail term. I strongly oppose this move that Lula is making. I do not think that the law is effective nor is the law cost efficient for the Federative Republic. I believe that the Brazilian government would not be able to provide adequate housing for the children under government custody. It is even likely that the children would have a better home life, with a parent who spanks them than they would in a government run home. At least at an “abusive” home these Brazilian children will have more of their own personal belongings along with a family member who does in fact care for them. Although child abuse is horrible, spanking is a time honoured tradition of disciplining a child and is just as effective as talking to the child.
New Zealand held a referendum last year on this same issue. The referendum failed, with over 87% of the population voting against an all out ban. The government of New Zealand created the law in 2008, in an effort to increase moves to criminalise child abuse further. The ban was ineffective in New Zealand and actually punished parents who many considered responsible.
Although I did support Lula’s early presidency when he was first elected in 2003, by 2007 I lost all support for him. I began to lose support for Lula once he began to promote awareness for the hoax, global warming, and encouraging investment in alternative fuel solutions, such as ethanol. I believe that increased production and use of ethanol and corn oil led to the outbreak of food riots that occurred throughout the developing world. Riots occurred in Indonesia, India and Mexico among many other developing countries. This is another move which has caused me to disapprove of Lula’s leadership. I do not plan on supporting Lula’s Worker’s Party nor their candidate in the upcoming elections in October.

Joyeux 14 Julliet!

Today 14 Julliet, the French Republic celebrates its national holiday. This holiday represents a historical event in which the citizens of Paris, who were starving, impoverished and angry, rose up and stormed the prison, Le Bastille. This single event is often viewed as the start of democracy in France. The goal of the revolutionaries was to free political prisoners, even though there were only 3 mentally insane prisoners in the bastille on 14 July, 1789.
I love to celebrate Bastille Day as this is also the start of the Modern Age and of Modern history, a subject I love to study. My belief is that, if I were living in Paris in 1789, I would strongly oppose the monarchy and be subject to radical ideas. I would have been very sympathetic to the ideas of Citizen Gracchus Babeuf and Citizen Maximilien Robespierre. These revolutionaries were supportive of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who triggered into a few ideas which soon became the start of socialism and communism. I would have wanted radical change from the conservative monarchy, who was too broke to be able to help the people of France.
I must not blame His Majesty, King Louis XVI; he never really wanted to be King of France. He wanted to be a horologist, but pressures from the royal family forced him into that lifestyle, and I can empathise with that. Louis XVI did not however, listen to the demands of his own people who wanted radical change. Many of that time would have been happy with a constitutional monarchy.
This year, President Nicolas Sarkozy , celebrated Bastille Day alongside leaders of former French Colonies, such as President Denis Sassou-Nguesso, Omar Bongo, and Paul Biya. This caused a public stir, as some of these president have poor human rights records. I would like to say that I support Sarkozy, I support Sassou Nguesso and I support France! Vive le Revolution! Joyeux 14 Julliet!

France Bans the Burqa!

Today 13 July, Juche 99, the Chamber of Deputies of the French Republic will be voting to determine whether or not to ban the Islamic veil known as the burqa or neqaab. According to Islamic law, female followers are obligated not to show any skin. The burqa covers the entire woman’s body from head to toe. The Chamber of Deputies is likely to vote in favour of a ban. If the bill passes, it will go to the Senate in September, once it passes the Senate, French President Nicolas Sarkozy is likely to sign the bill making it law. The ban is very popular both among the electorate and the Chamber of Deputies. Members of the Union for a Popular Movement, French Communist Party, Socialist Party and the National Front all support the ban. It has been said that only about 2.000 people of France’s Islamic population actually wear the full burqa.
I support the ban. I believe that Islamic immigration into the European Union is becoming a dangerous issue. I believe that if one wishes to immigrate to a different nation, they must adopt the culture of their new country. By continuing to where the burqa, they are not assimilating into France. Other European nations such as Belgium and Spain are also considering a full ban to the burqa. Switzerland recently held a referendum which succeeded in being the first European nation to ban the burqa. I also believe that Europe is facing a major crisis between Islamisation and globalization. These two evils are currently plaguing Europe and will hopefully lead to a necessary radical change. Perhaps this could even lead to a new world order. Hopefully radical elements from both the left and the right will rise up and end the European Union and protect European national identies.
It has been confirmed that the French Chamber of Deputies passed the motion to ban the burqa. The final vote was 335 against one. The French Socialist Party and the French Green Party abstained from the vote.

World Cup 2010

On Sunday 11 July, Juche 99, The Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Spain will face each other in the World Cup. I would first of all like to congratulate both teams in making the World Cup. This game is guaranteed to go down in World Cup history. Both countries have the opportunity to win their first World Cup, however this is the first time Spain has made it to the final. I will be supporting Spain in the match because I have many friends and family in Spain and I am also more familiar with the players. I have also been informed that a Dutch adult film star has pledged to provide oral sex for the 90,000 of her fans that follow her on the social networking site twitter, if the Netherlands are to win the match. It is said that Spain is the favourite to win. I believe that both that teams have a fair shot at winning the match, as I do not think Spain has played their best. I think Spain has gotten lucky in matches as opposed to winning with talent and well thought out plays.
On Saturday Germany will face Uruguay for the bronze medal in the cup. I also would like to wish both teams the best of luck as the battle for third place in the World Cup. I think Germany will play very well, and I am sorry to see that they did not make the final. I do believe the German team played wonderfully and won some incredible victories.

On Sunday 11 July, Juche 99, Japan will be holding elections for the upper house in the diet. This election will be a major test of the Democratic Party of Japan’s strength. The Democratic Party of Japan came to power in 2008 following three unpopular governments of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan. The Democratic Party’s original Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama stepped down recently due to failing to fulfill one of this election promises. Hatoyama failed to keep his pledge that he will remove the U.S. naval base from the island of Okinawa-Jima. Following to fulfill his election pledge, the Democratic Party of Japan, selected Kan to succeed him.
In the elections for the upper house of the diet, I will be supporting the Communist Party of Japan. I supported the Japanese Communist Party in the last parliamentary elections. I am supporting the JCP because I am a supporter of the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea. The DPRK and the JCP have been in close contact with each other and the JCP has even hosted members of the Kim family during state visits to Japan. I believe the DPRK needs more allies in the area especially after the tragic Cheonan incident. The Cheonan incident occurred a few months ago when American and the Korean puppet’s government’s navy held naval exercises off the southwest coast of Korea. The only ally the PDRK has, in its own vicinity, is the People’s Republic of China. Although I respect and understand the reasons as to why the PDRK does not trust it’s allied, I believe that friendly governments surrounding the PDRK will bring stability to the region.
