Hey Brits, get a clue. This is what happens when you let the moonbats take over. Recycling rage? Where's your rage over the taking of your civil rights, the takeover of your society by the death-cult muzzie culture and the destruction of nearly every freedom British citizens enjoyed for centuries?
MADONNA and her husband, Guy Ritchie, have been lobbying the British Government and nuclear industry over a magic cleaning solution. The couple, both followers of the Jewish spiritual movement Kabbalah, approached Downing Street, Whitehall and British Nuclear Fuels (BNFL) promoting a scheme to clean up radioactive waste using a "mystical" liquid tested in a Russian lake. "It was like a crank call ... the scientific mechanisms and principles were just bollocks, basically," one official said.
But public servants at the Department of Trade and Industry and scientists at BNFL were obliged to take the celebrity couple seriously. It is understood that the couple, who live in London and Wiltshire, were promoting a water-based solution that had allegedly proved successful in neutralising dangerous nuclear waste in Russia. The Kabbalah Centre, which is based in California, believes water is a uniquely important substance that can be given magic healing powers through "meditations and the consciousness of sharing". Madonna is said to have approached Downing Street, before being directed to the DTI. "She relentlessly pursued people," said a former DTI public servant. "She wanted to get this Russian scientist to explain this to civil servants."
But her campaign became bogged down by Whitehall bureaucracy. "It was a case of pass the parcel," the public servant said.
Ritchie, who directed Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, cold-called BNFL and wrote a series of letters accompanied by scientific papers. A panel of BNFL's best scientists was assigned to look at the proposal but could find no scientific basis for the claims. The lobbying, which took place a few years ago, was part of a campaign by Madonna, who saw it as her mission to rid the world of nuclear waste. She made this clear in newspaper interviews at the time. "I mean, one of the biggest problems that exists right now in the world is nuclear waste," she said. "That's something I've been involved with for a while with a group of scientists -- finding a way to neutralise radiation, believe it or not."
The Kabbalah Centre, which is based in Los Angeles but has branches worldwide, was set up by Philip Berg, a former insurance salesman. One devotee has described how Berg leads chants of "Chernobyl" and the names of other nuclear power plants. Followers believe this helps "heal the problem of nuclear waste". Undercover reporters who attended a Kabbalah Centre dinner in London described how Madonna and Ritchie were among guests who turned east towards Chernobyl and began shouting its name. Some Kabbalah followers are even said to believe that nuclear waste is the cause of the AIDS epidemic.
Madonna has said: "According to science, we aren't going to have a planet in about 50 years at the rate we're going with nuclear waste. I can write the greatest songs and make the most fabulous films and be a fashion icon and conquer the world, but if there isn't a world to conquer, what's the point? I've just come to a place in my life where I'm trying to really see what the big picture is and where my energy is better spent, and that's one area I'm really concerned about."
The Kabbalah Centre is believed to have sponsored Oroz, a "23rd-century" research body in New York that heralded a "breakthrough" in neutralising radioactive waste. Artur Spokojny, the director of Oroz and a Kabbalah follower, is said to have developed a "revolutionary" decontamination agent called Orodyne, which can reportedly also treat gynaecological problems in cows and sheep. Three years ago, the research centre claimed it had experimented with the agent in Lake Glyboke near Chernobyl and had successfully decontaminated the water. Madonna was not available to comment at the weekend because she is on tour in Germany.
KATHMANDU: Dozens of Nepali women stripped naked and ploughed their fields in west Nepal, hoping to appease the gods and get some much needed rain, a newspaper report said on Sunday. About 50 women in two villages in Kapilvastu district, 120 miles west of Kathmandu, resorted to the desperate move at night on Friday as days of prayers and Hindu ceremonies failed to bring rains for the parched paddy crop, it said.
"This is our last weapon, we used it, and there was light rainfall," Nepali daily Rajdhani quoted one of the women as saying. Although there is no clear religious basis for the practice, some locals believe such a move could appease the rain gods.

I think this practice should spread to drought-stricken areas worldwide. I hear Vegas gets little rain.
I propose a grant-funded study... I'll move to Vegas, post-haste, tuit suite even, and run it. It's the kind of civic-minded guy I am.

#2. Gromky may be right about Nepalese wimyn.
As far as nekkid wimyn making it rain in Vegas, I can only wonder why they don't have nightly downpours between Fremont St. and Tropicana Ave..

Actually Minnesota has been suffering a drought. Do you think we can get those Swedish and Norwegian-American girls to strip down for the cause?

Huh. Seems the same thing's happening in Texas:
Tina Moody of Dripping Springs not only has cut back on her water use, but takes baths in an old clawfoot tub outside her home and uses the water for irrigation.

Dang. The Aquifer's down, no rain, 25 days already this summer with 100+ degree temps, San Antonio Water System says I can't water my lawn, etc, and now I come to find out all we needed was naked women.

Well, someone must have brought in a Herc-load of naked lassies, because it has been raining south of the Alaska Range here for over 12 days. The Alaska Railroad line was repaired yesterday after a washout. The Parks Highway that connects Anchorage to Fairbanks is closed at MP122 due to a washout at a bridge. The governor has declared the Mat-Su borough a disaster area. There is snow on the mountains above 5000 to 6000 ft elevation. It's all due to Global Warming and not signing on with Kyoto. And the 12th Imam is coming out of the well tomorrow because Hell is flooded.

(Mental picture of a sopping wet 12th imam heaving his lardbutt out of the well, with sodden thobe and curly slippers, turban moldy and hanging in rags, pink pickled toesies and fingertips, a nice case of ringworm raging all over)

No mental picture needed, Seafarious. Just go to your local Blockbuster and rent OSAMA. That old, bearded Muzzie instructor/pervert at the end of film will creep you out for the next decade, at least.
UP to 40 youths went on a destructive ramage in a central Queensland community because they were bored, the town's mayor said today. Police said the youths, aged between 11 and 15, went on their spree of violence in the town of Woorabinda, southwest of Rockhampton, on Sunday night. Property and buildings, including the local primary school, police station, work sheds and a cafe were also damaged.
...they threw bricks through the window at the police station. It's just clear boredom...
When police arrived, the youths pelted them with missiles, but there were no reports of injuries. The riot ended only after parents, elders and guardians were called in to help restore order. Police said 34 of the youths had been identified, and 16 arrested and charged. A number had been released but others were being held in custody in Rockhampton while police investigations continued.
Mayor Roderick Tobane said the youths were bored and frustrated by a lack of facilities. "There's no big, major damage, there's not hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage, it's just the young fellas out on the street after 10pm, after 11pm, making life a misery for people who own services in the community," Mr Tobane said on ABC radio. "With the police as well, apparently they ... threw bricks through the window at the police station. It's just clear boredom."
He urged parents to take more responsibility for their children. "(They) feel neglected - there's a handful of them that are being neglected, they are not getting the right care and love that they need," Mr Tobane said.
A new restaurant in Indias financial hub, named after Adolf Hitler and promoted with posters showing the German leader and Nazi swastikas, has infuriated the countrys small Jewish community. Hitlers Cross, which opened last week, serves up a wide range of continental fare and a big helping of controversy, thanks to a name the owners say they chose to stand out among hundreds of Mumbai eateries. They could have used "Ptomaine". That would have stood out and been less tasteless...
We wanted to be different. This is one name that will stay in peoples minds, owner Punit Shablok told Reuters. We are not promoting Hitler. But we want to tell people we are different in the way he was different. I wonder if Mr Shablok would be offended if I opened up a Krishna-themed steakhouse called "Holy Cow!" ? I mean, I would just be trying to be different......
But Indias remaining Jews most migrated to Israel and the West over the years say they are outraged by the gimmick. This signifies a severe lack of awareness of the agony of millions of Jews caused by one man, said Jonathan Solomon, chairman of the Indian Jewish Federation, the communitys umbrella organization. We are going to stop this deification of Hitler, he said without elaborating.
The small restaurant, its interior done out in the Nazi colors of red, white and black, also has a lounge for smoking the Indian water pipe or hookah. Posters line the road leading up to it, featuring a red swastika carved in the name of the eatery. One slogan reads: From Small Bites to Mega Joys. It tested better than "Try the Jew-B-Q!"
A huge portrait of a stern-looking Füehrer greets visitors at the door. The cross in the restaurants name refers to the swastika that symbolized the Nazi regime. This place is not about wars or crimes, but where people come to relax and enjoy a meal, said restaurant manager Fatima Kabani, adding that they were planning to turn the eaterys name into a brand with more branches in Mumbai. Why do I find it easy to believe Fatima's family would relax and enjoy a meal when surrounded by Nazi paraphernalia?

Perhaps there's another entrepeneur in Mumbai who'll start offering an evening "living history experience" with a DeHavilland Mosquito and some incindiaries. "Rabbit Leader, this is Cowslip. Your target is that brightly lighted swastika there in the financial district. . . ."

tu3031: Ever read a short story called "The Last Article" by Harry Turtledove? It's an alternate universe story in which Ghandi takes on the Nazis using nonviolent means.
How well does it work? Like I said, it's a short story.

Gandhi: I do not consider Hitler to be as bad as he is depicted. He is showing an ability that is amazing and seems to be gaining his victories without much bloodshed.
Gandhi would have approved. I look forward to the opening of an Indian restaurant named Hindu Kush in Israel.

This place is not about wars or crimes, but where people come to relax and enjoy a meal,
And we each of us know that, if nothing else, the Third Reich was all about fine dining and culinary excellence. Those straight armed salutes were actually just a way of getting the waiter's attention.
I look forward to the opening of an Indian restaurant named Hindu Kush in Israel.
A seven-year-old Muslim girl who had begun a fast 10 days ago in Agra to appease the rain gods was forced to break her fast with some fluids and made to eat fruit. But she is continuing to deny herself food. Parveen, who hails from a poor peasant family in Jaunai village, in Saiyan block along the Agra-Gwalior road, was made to break her fast on Sunday evening on the 10th day.
She was given an oral re-hydration solution and given some bananas. Shatrughan Singh, sub-divisional magistrate of Kheragarh, and some officers persuaded Parveen's parents and got her to break the fast. But she resumed her fast, saying until the rain gods obliged she would not eat. Many areas in western Uttar Pradesh have received less then 50 percent rainfall this year.
Her fast has inspired hundreds of people to join her in prayers and bhajans (devotional songs). Parveen's family, which includes her five brothers and sisters, says that she is determined to starve herself until "Lord Indra smiles" and ensures rainfall. "Her tapasya (meditation) will not go in vain," say villagers, worried over the scanty rainfall in some districts of western Uttar Pradesh. Appeasing the rain gods until Lord Indra smiles doesn't exactly seem like traditional Islam; and to allow an 8 year old child to go through this . . . Perhaps Cindy Sheehan and some of her Hollywood pals should enlighten this village about appeasement through rolling fasts.
MIANWALI: Police have registered a vani case against Maulana Abdur Rehman, a Masjid Imam, punchait members and the tribe notables. Amanullah of Shadia village developed relations with a woman of the Dhuli tribe, who eloped with him. Later, Amanullah sent back the woman after the police and tribe notables pressured. A panchayat decided that Sarwar Bibi (20) would be given in nikah with Haq Nawaz, 10, the younger brother of the eloped woman and the panchayat also decided that a proper marriage ceremony would be held when Nawaz would attain puberty. Both tribes agreed to compromise and the groom divorced his 20-years-old bride in Wan Bhachran Police Station. Police will withdraw the case.
