  • The Ripple Effect of Hillsborough: Discovery – by Muad’Dib
    Using Ockham’s Razor and common-sense, let’s look at the known facts about Hillsborough, and the lies we have been told, and see what most likely really did happen that day. CHAPTER 1 – MAGGIE THATCHER [1] Prime Minister Maggie Thatcher hated Liverpudlians, because of the Toxteth Riots in 1981, and the Liverpool supporters because of the Heysel disaster in 1985, and the subsequent disgrace and banning of English clubs from European football. So did Bernard Ingham her press secretary, who immediately accused the Liverpool fans of causing the Hillsborough disaster. [2] Proof that Ingham hated the Liverpool supporters is given by the residents of Hebden Bridge. “Hebden Bridge residents launched a campaign against Sir Bernard Ingham to have him removed as a local newspaper columnist over his continued refusal to apologise for his words in the immediate aftermath of the Hillsborough disaster.” PLEASE READ: Hebden Bridge Launch Campaign Against Bernard Ingham theguardian.com/uk/the-northerner/2013/feb/01/hebden-bridge-bernard-ingham-hillsborough [3] It was Thatcher who, aided and abetted by the smears spread by local Conservative MP Irvine Patnick, encouraged her press secretary Bernard Ingham to spread the campaign of lies and misinformation aimed at blaming the victims of a tragedy, exonerating the police who were, as the world now knows, the true guilty party. [4] When Judge Peter Taylor reported a year later, Thatcher even over-ruled her Home Secretary, Douglas Hurd, who wanted to accept the unwelcome truth. [5] Although there can be no excusing what happened at Heysel, the stadium in the Belgian capital was antiquated, and unfit for purpose.

    HELLISH 2050 RESOLVING THE CIVILISATIONAL CLASH [email protected] RATIONALITY VERSUS DOGMA Here is the preserved finger of Galileo. It is in the Galileo museum in Florence. I have seen it. While I was being formally interviewed by the deputy HR Director and the Head of the Physics Department at the University of Bath, regarding my views on Islam, I thought of Galileo and his battle against religious dogma. Some four centuries on, his finger admonishes the University of Bath, and its siding with Islam rather than with rationality and modern science. My experience is utterly surreal. “Eppur si muove” 1 Dedication: This book is dedicated to all of the children who find themselves growing up in an increasingly Islamised world. You did not deserve to be abandoned by your Governments. You should be enjoying the rights and freedoms that your parents enjoyed. Cover artwork: the three goddesses. The religious ideology of Islam is today strictly monotheistic. However, for a brief period it was polytheistic, with a male god, Allah, and his three female companion goddesses, whose names were Al-Lat, Al-Uzza and Manat — Moon, Venus and Fate. The Islamic prophet Mohammed initially praised these three goddesses, but later believed that the revelation of their existence had been sent from Satan rather than Allah. The verses in the Koran describing them, the “Satanic Verses”, were subsequently removed. This raises the question: how many other verses might also have been ‘inspired by Satan’, but not removed? From the descriptions given in Islamic scripture, it is clear that the area that Mohammed inhabited with olive trees and rivers could not have been Mecca.
