NO PLATFORM DEFEND DEMOCRACY

I wonder if Richard Ault is aware of this quote: Democracy is three sheep and a wolf arguing over what to have for dinner.

I say this because despite what Spiked believe universities are not Stalinist bastions of oppression. Spiked grew out of Living Marxism. Before that they were the (allegedly) Revolutionary Communist Party. Now they have embraced a strange but unfortunately fashionable cult called "libertarian anarcho-capitalism".

Some of these people call themselves Ancaps, but really their ideology states that democracy is equal to Fascism and that the ideal government is a military dictatorship styled on the former Pinochet regime in Chile. Freedom of speech for them means that all forms of pornography-even animal or child abuse-should be legalised, seemingly regardless of the tragic consequences. I am not making this up! This is a stated goal of the Von Mises Institute and Claire Fox, of Spiked/Sp!ked, has in the past defended possession of child abuse images (regarding the disgraced rock star Gary Glitter).

No Platform policies exist to protect people from individuals and organisations with hidden agendas. For example "Tommy Robinson"  (not his real name). Now, what does he want? He wants to demonise Muslims. This, taken to it's logical conclusion, will undoubtedly lead to a new Holocaust of Muslims and their "supporters". No Platform does not deny freedom of speech. It should exist to protect vulnerable individuals from being seduced by charlatans with easy solutions and hidden agendas.

What would you do?

What would you do if you knew you had a hundred years to live? Perhaps you wouldn't care. What if you knew you had a hundred years to act before you knew society would collapse? Perhaps you are obsessed with the threat from Russia, overpopulation or migration? Perhaps you know about climate change but don't care. But imagine how our government would act if humanity's biggest threat wasn't itself but another species? All governments, yours and mine, would be on a perpetual war footing. So why don't we all REBEL? Because twenty years ago we collectively had a hundred years to live. Twenty years ago it would have been reasonable for: 1. The Pope and the Catholic Church to embrace contraception 2. Ditto the American Right 3. The UK government to ban people from driving a petrol-driven car on a Sunday 4. The UK government to give free bus travel to everyone under 25 and the unemployed 5. Governments around the world to replace coal powered methods of ge

UFO

Time to debunk the extra-terrestrial hypothesis? Yes. Let's use our imaginations and consider non-ET explanations for this phenomenon. 1. UFOs are an aerial plasma phenomenon similar to ball lightning. This explains why they appear to follow aircraft and apparently interfere with electronic devices. 2. UFO phenomena are a result of individuals witnessing top-secret military technology. By deliberately associating the phenomenon with aliens, the government can discredit any witnesses and keep any technology it wishes out of the public domain. They could even have access to free energy but believe this would disrupt the economy if it were ever revealed. By promoting the Extra-Terrestrial Hypothesis, the government and the corporations that support it stay in power at everyone else's expense. Presumably this is a CIA-style psychological operations programme. 3. UFOs are intelligent entities in of themselves. The abduction phenomena could be a kind of vision by the abducte
