Danish ISIS Jihadists Receiving Unemployment Benefits

No-one knows for sure exactly how many European fighters are fighting with the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. There are only conservative estimates. Denmark has over 100 jihadists fighting in Syria, and 28 of those have been receiving unemployment benefits.

Out of the 28 Danish people identified by the Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) as having received benefits, 15 had been ordered to pay the money back, eight people were still being investigated, and five cases had been dropped due to insufficient evidence, tabloid BT reported.

“It is incredibly important that we are not naive,” Danish Justice Minister Mette Frederiksen told the daily when asked about the data, which was found by merging records kept by different authorities.

Denmark has one of the world’s most generous unemployment insurance systems, with those on the scheme receiving up to 801 kroner per day (108 euros, $134) for up to two years.

However, some of the jihadists were on a significantly more modest basic unemployment benefit also paid in Denmark.

Dang. I'm moving to Denmark.

Poor fools.

Rich Couple Rip Off Minnesota Welfare System While Living On $1.2 Million Yacht

Another shameful rip-off of the welfare system.

Colin and Andrea Chisholm III were living in Palm Beach, Florida on their $1.2 million luxury yacht (The Andrea Aras) all the while they were collecting public assistance from Minnesota. From 2005 to 2012 they received $165,000. Thing is, Minnesota allows up to $35,000.

They've been charged with fraud but are nowhere to be found.

More on the story here.

Remember that Seattle couple, David Silverstein and his wife Lyudmila Shimonova, back in 2011 who lived in a million dollar house while claiming welfare benefits? Are there no checks and balances when it comes to public assistance?  This is why we are going broke.

Woman With UK NHS-Paid Boob Job Wants Them Smaller

Gotta love those nanny states.  23-year-old Brit Josie Cunningham got a boob job back in March, courtesy of England's National Health Service (NHS), because she's a model... of sorts.  But she's unhappy with how people have reacted to her additions, so now she wants them smaller, and thinks the NSA should pay for the breast reduction.

The Leeds native is asking taxpayers to foot the bill for her implants to be removed and reduced, reports the Mirror. The mother of two claims that she is unable to find modeling work due to the negative attention surrounding her artificial boobs.

“I don’t want to spend my life being known as the girl with massive NHS boobs, so having smaller implants is the only option."

“I’m looking into charities that could help, but I think it’s down to the NHS because they made them so big,” she explained. She alleged that people would follow her in the street, calling her a slut and demanding their money back.

Of course we've had our own tax-payer funded absurdities.

Bilking The UK Welfare System- Iraqi Woman Sublets Taxpayer Funded £2 million flat

Another immigrant family bilking UK welfare system, which seems to find nothing wrong in settling welfare recipients in multi-million dollar flats. How absurd is that!

An unemployed Iraqi 'benefit queen' charged £4,000 a week to sublet a taxpayer funded £2million flat, it has been claimed.

Bushra al-Rahimi is claimed to have rented out the flat to a family of Kuwaiti tourists, while also being in receipt of housing benefits from Westminster city council to cover the cost of the city centre five-bedroom property.

Al-Rahimi and her family have now been re-housed at taxpayers' expense in nearby Islington, in a block of flats where another property is let at £5,000 a month.

The alleged offence came to light after director of Lord Estates Hany Hanna was asked to intervene by the head lessor of the flats at Harrowby Court, in a street near Marble Arch, the Sunday Times has reported.

Mr Hanna said when he called at the flat, which is close to Tony Blair’s home in Connaught Square, in the first week of July 2011 a man claiming to be the rightful tenant opened the door - in an e-mail to the head lessor Anthony Slingsby, Mr Hanna said he could tell by his accent he was from Kuwait.

He said he heard the man talking on the phone after he shut the door and was later called by al-Rahimi who asked him to leave. He accused her of committing a fraud and warned her the matter had been reported to Seymour police station.

The rest on the UK Daily Mail.

When are they going to learn.

UK Taxpayers Pay For Fight Against Extradition of Albanian Gangster Murderer

An Albanian man who was responsible for three murders, an attempted murder, and was convicted in absentia of those charges by an Albanian court, has been in British custody for about a year. Albania wants him back, but for some reason the Brits are helping him fight extradition. Why?

An Albanian gangster convicted of three murders is still in the UK almost a year after his arrest and is now likely to claim asylum.

Ndricim Sadushi, 42, has been on the run for 15 years and is receiving legal aid in his fight against extradition back to Albania that is costing the UK taxpayer tens of thousands of pounds.

His case has been listed before judges 19 times during the lengthy court battle.

Westminster Magistrates' Court heard today there is a 'suggestion' he will appeal for asylum.

Sadushi was convicted in his absence in Albania of three murders and one attempted murder in 1997.

His case is being held up while assessments are carried out on his mental health.

At the hearing, Sadushi was ordered back to Belmarsh Prison, having spent just over a month undergoing assessments at Broadmoor mental hospital.

Anne Marie Kundert, for the Albanian government, said: 'This case has not been able to proceed as Mr Sadushi has been committed to Broadmoor hospital under the mental health act.

British Terrorists Cost Taxpayers Millions For Their Legal Defense

How's this for stupidity with a huge dose of irony factored in. The British taxpayers have paid millions for the legal defense of al-Qaeda terrorists who plotted to kill them. A whopping £30 million, in fact, was doled out for legal aid for the July 21 would-be suicide bombers along with other reprobates including serial killer Steven Wright.

Recipients of huge amounts include the July 21 bombers, a group of Islamist fanatics behind the 2006 airline liquid bomb plot and a string of fraud cases.

The former fugitive Asil Nadir - who rented a £23,000-a-month London residence during his trial - received £1,056,588 in legal aid.

Suffolk Strangler Steven Wright, who murdered five prostitutes in Ipswich, was given £444,220 to pay for his defence.

Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said of the revelations: ‘Of course everyone deserves a defence.

‘But when you look at costs involved in some cases, you have to ask whether we can afford to provide this level of support in criminal trials.

‘Criminal legal aid costs one billion a year, and at a time like this, you have to challenge whether we are getting appropriate value for taxpayers’ money.’

Now why was Nadir set up in a £23,000-a-month home, when he should have been staying at the local hostel, or better yet, in jail? And why aren't these criminals handed a legal aid defense attorney rather than the more costly QCs?

The trial in  2007-2008 for the July 21 terror gang (Muktar Ibrahim, Ramzi Mohammed, Yassin Omar and Hussain Osman) cost £7.13 million.

We have the 2006 liquid bomb plot gang to thank for the current 3-1-1 liquid carry-on restriction.  Their defense cost the Brits £12,208 million, and because of re-trials, it cost an additional £14.758 million.

But it's not just terrorists who have availed themselves of free legal aid:

The figures also reveal the enormous cost of legal aid in complex fraud and money laundering cases - many of which involve very wealthy individuals.

In 2009/10, two money laundering cases swallowed £15.7m and £14.382m respectively.

Reducing payments to barristers is a key part of the Government’s strategy to lower the cost of legal aid by £350 million a year.

And why aren't these rich folk paying for their own defense with their own funds?

What a waste.

Ron Paul on How Government Dependency Lost Romney The Election

As most of you who read this blog know, I am not a fan of Ron Paul, but he is absolutely right in his assessment of the 'fiscal cliff', and why a little over 50% of the American people wanted Barack Obama to win. It all boils down to government dependency, and he believes that dependency spells doom for this country.

"We're so far gone. We're over the cliff," the Texas Republican told Bloomberg Television's "In the Loop" program. "We cannot get enough people in Congress in the next 5-10 years who will do wise things."

[snip]

Mr. Paul, who is retiring after 12 terms in the House, said voters on Tuesday rejected Mitt Romney because he had opposed the government bailout of General Motors and Chrysler.

"The people in the Midwest voted against him: 'Oh, we have to be taken care of!' So that vote was sort of like what we are laughing at in Greece," Mr. Paul said.

"People do not want anything cut," he said. "They want all the bailouts to come. They want the Fed to keep printing the money. And they don't believe that we've gone off the cliff or are close to going off the cliff. They think we can patch it over, that we can somehow come up with some magic solution. But you can't have a budgetary solution if you don't change what the role of government should be. As long as you think we have to police the world and run this welfare state, all we are going to argue about is who will get the loot."

I still don't agree with his isolationist position- there are times when we need to help our allies, but we certainly don't need to be sending financial aid to our enemies.  And I still partially fault Paul's supporters for the Romney loss, I'm sure most refused to vote, but I will give him credit for this.

Romanian Who Bilked £2.9 million Gets To Stay In UK To Protect Human Rights

33-year-old Romanian gypsy Lavinia Olmazu, who spent 2 plus years in jail for bilking the British system out of at least £2.9 million, was supposed to have been deported after her release. But Olmazu will get to stay in England with her 12-year-old son after using Article 8 of the Human Rights Act to make her case. Yes, she claimed her human rights would be violated if she was sent back to Romania, and the judges concurred.

Article 8 guarantees the 'right to family life', so mum decided that since her son had spent the bulk of his life in England, and spoke little Romanian (or so she claims) they deserved to stay. All this in spite of the fact that the son was born in Romania, his biological father lives in Romania, and mum's partner-in-crime, Alin Enachi, is also Romanian.

Apparently, Olmazu

.. was employed by two London boroughs and homeless charity the Big Issue to help integrate Romanian gipsies into British society.
[snip]
She was jailed after she abused her position of trust with the authorities and Roma community to orchestrate an elaborate fraud that cost taxpayers millions – and gained her and her partner tens of thousands of pounds.

They charged £80 each to provide hundreds of immigrants from Romania with false National Insurance numbers so they could claim thousands of pounds in benefits they were not entitled to.

Armed with an NI number, their clients claimed handouts including child benefit, child tax credit, working tax credit, as well as use the NHS and other welfare services.

Under rules introduced when Romania joined the EU in 2007, Romanian immigrants cannot get a National Insurance number – which is the key to getting benefits – unless they can prove they have paid employment lined up.

Operating from their suburban home in Woodford Green, Essex, they provided 368 false NI numbers. Of these, 172 were successfully used to claim benefits resulting in fraud totalling £2.9million.

But at the time it was reported the scam could have cost taxpayers up to £10 million if all of the fraudulent documents had been used, police revealed.

Not only was she not deported, she now has a job with another charity, Media Diversity Institute, which is partially sponsored by the British government.  I wonder how long it will take her to start pilfering from that organization.

However, not everyone was thrilled with the decision to allow her to stay. The Home Office tried its best to kick her out, but was thwarted by a judge who felt the boy had the right to finish his schooling here.

The case is among the first to be considered by senior immigration judges after an attempt by Theresa May to make it more difficult for immigration criminals to stay.

In June Mrs May declared war on judges who refused to deport foreign criminals because of their human rights, saying the courts should stop allowing overseas prisoners, law-breakers and illegal immigrants to stay in Britain on the grounds that they have a right to a family life.

She promised a vote in Parliament to ram home to judges ‘what the public believe’ and persuade them ‘to take into account what Parliament has said’.

Failure by the judiciary to listen will result in new laws to curb the exploitation of the human rights legislation by foreign criminals, Mrs May said.
MPs of all parties voted unanimously in support of the stricter guidelines.

Since when do criminals have rights?  They lose their rights when they commit crimes. The Brit nanny state cares  more for the rights of criminals and freeloaders than the hard working, over taxed, British worker.

Obama "gave us a phone" - Obama Supporters At Romney Rally

Barack Obama supporters at a Mitt Romney rally in Bedford, Ohio (near Cleveland).  This is who Romney was referring to as the 47%- not the hard working shlubs who do pay tax but get it all back because they don't make enough, but rather those 'entitled' food stamp welfare queens who often bilk the system and believe that the government should pay for their gas and mortgages and give them cellphones without doing anything to deserve it.

These are the people Romney said won't vote for him anyway, and he's absolutely right. They won't. Who is going to give up  free stuff for sitting on their duffs.

UK Muslim Polygamists To Get More Welfare Benefits In 2013

Polygamy is illegal in the U.K., but not for Muslim immigrants. Nope. Not only is it okay for Muslim men to have as many wives as they choose, the British nanny state is actually encouraging it by increasing the welfare benefits for those in polygamous marriages. Yes, indeed, when welfare reforms take place in 2013, Muslim men who have more than one wife will get an increase in their benefits,
according to an article in the Gatestone Institute.

Currently the state pays extra wives in polygamous households reduced amounts of individual income support, in addition to the normal amount received by the husband and his first spouse.

Under the new rules, however, the extra wives will be eligible to claim a full single person's allowance (despite being married), while the original married couple will still receive the standard married person's allowance. 

The changes are part of wide-ranging reforms to the welfare system that are being implemented by Prime Minister David Cameron's coalition government, which admits that it wants to treat extra wives as single so that the state will not officially be recognizing polygamy as it is under the current system. 

Critics who had hoped the government reforms would do away with benefits for polygamy altogether say the so-called Welfare Reform Bill is simply opening up a loophole for polygamous families to claim more money from the state. 

Details of the changes were revealed in a 13-page legal brief dated July 19, and published by the library of the House of Commons. The document states: "Treating second and subsequent partners in polygamous relationships as separate claimants could mean that polygamous households receive more under Universal Credit than under the current rules for means-tested benefits and tax credits."

Eye-opening. No wonder they're broke, and doomed.

Joke of the day- Wizard of Id parody - Obama's plans for the US

And don't forget the free gas (and mortgage) this woman thought Obama had promised her.

Ode To The Welfare State- "Democrat Dialogue" 1949 poem

This is making the rounds again. I'm not sure if it is authentic or not, but it's certainly apropos considering so many EU nanny states are in dire straits, and the Democratic Party continues to try and drag us down that same road. If left-leaning Snopes seems to think it is "probably" authentic, then it probably is.

Written in response to a Harry Truman speech on November 3, 1949 and published in the Daily News, the poem apparently appeared in other newspaper publications during that time period, including the Maryland, Daily Herald, and as a letter in the L.A. Times.

TN Dad With 30 Kids Wants Help From State

Desmond Hatchett, from Tennessee, has almost as many children as his age. The 33-year-old Knoxville father of 30 kids (by 11 women) is a minimum-wage worker whose meager salary is garnished to help support his brood, but now he is begging the state to help him. Half of Hatchett's paycheck is divvied up between the moms, but because he makes so little, some of them only get about $1.49- per month. I assume at some point in time he was a deadbeat dad, if the courts are garnishing his wages, but he hasn't broken any laws by having so many children so there is nothing officials can do to prevent him from having more. Well, they can't stop him from breeding, but they can say no to his appeal for taxpayer help.

His oldest is 14 with the youngest a toddler, so he must have started at 19 and has had those 30 kids in about 14 or so years.

According to an interview in 2009 when he only had 21 and said he was "done", he explained that he "had four kids in the same year. Twice.“   What a ho!

Hatchett is the poster child for the need for sterilization education. Someone needs to tell him to tie it up.

Greek Neo-Nazi Party Leader - "There were no ovens, no gas chambers"

Granted, Greece is a humongous mess, faltering dangerously on a precipice, but how on earth does a Neo-Nazi party win 21 seats in  parliament? The extreme far right skin-head Golden Dawn party won a whopping 7% of the vote during the May 6 elections, and now the head of the Chryssi Avghi party, Nikos Michaloliakos, has joined Mahmoud Ahmadeinjad and others in denying the Holocaust ever took place. Not that it's a novel stance for a neo-Nazi, but this man (and his party) is now part of the Greek government.

“There were no ovens, no gas chambers, it’s a lie,” , the head of the Chryssi Avghi (Golden Dawn) party, said during an interview aired on the private Mega television channel on Sunday night.

“Auschwitz, what Auschwitz? I didn’t go there. What happened there? Have you been there,” he asked a reporter in the interview, adding that he had “read lots of books casting doubt on the number of six million Jews” who died in the Holocaust.

Prior to the elections, Michaloliakos apparently kept mostly mum about the extent of his Holocaust-denying beliefs, but the Greek people would have to be pretty darn stupid to not realize that neo-Nazis aren't terribly different from the original murdering Nazis.
Yes, voters were fed up with all the austerity measures their socialist nanny state was forcing them to put up with to save the country from drowning, but that's not a good reason to vote in extremists.

And it still boggles my mind that there are people who actually deny that there were gas chambers, and ovens, and that millions were killed, not only Jews, in spite of all the photographs, the witnesses and the evidence.

Good luck to the Greeks, they're going to need it.

Nancy Pelosi's Daughter Pisses Off The Left With Video About Welfare Freeloaders

Alexandra, Nancy Pelosi's documentary filmmaker daughter, filmed a piece on redneck voters in Mississippi last week that caused a stir. To be fair, she also filmed a piece on welfare freeloaders or "freeloading welfare queens" as she calls them, in New York City that has the left hopping mad- because it's okay to lambaste toothless rednecks who will vote Republican, but not okay to criticize  those who will vote for Obama “because he gives me stuff,” and “because he’s black.”
You have to give her and Bill Maher credit for having the cojones to air it on "Real Time" in spite of the fact that HBO honchos were dead set against it.

Pelosi said,

“We have to address the fact that this is why Democrats are losing ground. And this is a problem in America. The entitlement culture has gotten so big that we are losing our own people."  

Ouch. But she's absolutely right. 

British Welfare Freeloaders To Get Housing Benefits Reduced From £2,000 To £400

It just got a little tougher for Britain's chronic freeloaders to leech off the working class stiff.  British taxpayers for years have been subsidizing families who have no control over their reproductive systems and as a result have wangled their way into housing the taxpayers themselves can't even afford.  Because council housing isn't usually equipped for families with hordes of children, these people have been winding up in million dollar houses or apartments with weekly rental benefits of  up to £2,000 a week. That's almost £204,000 per year on rental alone. 

In 2010, David Cameron vowed to cap housing benefits to £400 per week for a 4-bedroom home, and it looks like that promise has finally come to fruition. Families in London who have been receiving exorbitant amounts of money for housing will now have to make do with £400 per week for rental. That will be challenging for practicing Catholics 48-year-old Andre Rostant his 38-year-old Dutch wife Thirza and their brood of 8 kids (ranging from 3 to 14), who are currently paying £2,000 per week in a chichi area of central London, courtesy of the British taxpayer. They have been told by a 'local  councillor' that

... if the family can’t raise the extra £1,600 a week needed to pay the rent and do not find alternative, cheaper accommodation, his wife, Thirza, and their eight children (aged from three to 14) will be regarded as ‘intentionally homeless’ and won’t even get the capped £400 a week in housing benefit.

Rostant, with just nine days to find a more affordable home, is now claiming his human rights have been violated. Yes, indeed, he seems to believe that since he's Catholic it's his right to pop them out at almost yearly intervals, and that the government should be responsible for housing them all. In a letter to the Westminster Council he wrote,

"As married, practising Roman Catholics, our religion calls, at the very least, for us to be open in having children.

The act of marriage within our faith has been traditionally interpreted both by clergy and the lay community to be a calling to have many children, if that is physically possible. In short, Catholic families tend to be larger than typical British families.

We are being denied our rights to manifest our religion by having children and by not being given anywhere to house the ones we have."

No, Mr. Rostant, being Catholic and having dozens of children is a personal choice. And if you can't afford to have children, then don't, because it's certainly not the government's responsibility to help you take care of them.

But the Rostants are not the only ones living in the lap of luxury. Two other London families have been receiving the same amount of money for weekly rental, and a fourth received £2,050 for a lovely house in upscale St. John's Wood.

Then you have the ones who aren't getting quite as much, like 34-year-old Muslim Essma Marjon, who has 6 children by two different fathers. Essma has been living in a £2.5million house in the tony Maida Vale where Sir Paul McCartney lives, but that 5 bedroom villa only costs taxpayers £7,000 a month. And there's the Afghani Saiedi family of seven who have been living in a £1.2 million house in West London with the £750 rental fee paid for by the Ealing Council.  The U.K. has even been providing free upscale housing to Islamic extremists living in their midst.

Sure, the U.S. has its flakes taking advantage of the system, like the Seattle couple who lived in a million dollar home that they actually happened to own, while claiming a $1,200 month housing allowance, food stamps and other welfare subsidies.  However, the difference is the Seattle housing authority had no idea the busy chiropractor was bilking the state for thousands, whereas the families in the U.K. lived in million dollar houses with the full knowledge of the British government.

Britain's nanny state has made it more appealing to go on welfare than to go out and work, and that's why they have such a problem and are now broke. In 2010, it was estimated that 100,000 families were making more on welfare than the average British worker. Hopefully they will make other changes to their welfare system, before it's too late.

UK Islamic Extremist Gets Rent-Free Luxury Flat and £1,250 Per Month In Benefits

England's nanny state continues to support certain individuals who have no right being taken care of, so it's no wonder the country is flat broke and full of extremists.  Take middle class 28-year-old Rich Dart, an unemployed former BBC security guard, who is living in  a nice cushy  £1,000 luxury 2- bedroom apartment (worth £300,0000) along with a job-seekers allowance of  £64-a-week, and other benefits totalling £1,256 every month, all courtesy of the other hard-working British taxpayers.

If that's not bad enough, he also happens to be a recent convert to Islam and is one of those who, in spite of leaching off of his fellow taxpayers, loves to preach hate against the country that pays all of his bills.  So, in essence, the government is actually paying this man to radicalize other English youth. And he's doing a good job of it enabled by a government system that makes it more profitable to stay on the dole than to get back into the work force.  Rich or Salahuddin as he now calls himself, has a designer kitchen, a rooftop garden that cost a fortune that he has access to, but had the gall to complain about his lovely digs:  'It's quite luxurious compared with other ones, but you're crammed in like sardines and I can hear my neighbour coming and going. I don't enjoy living among non-Muslims. Under Islam things would be much better. You could have a detached bungalow for each wife, maybe four bungalows if you had four wives. I have to live here - and it's very hard to have four wives.'

Of course, he and his four wives would also be supported by the British government.  But, apparently he has no wives yet, so he spends his time at extremist rallies preaching about the wonders of Sharia law. "When the Taliban defeat the allies we will establish Sharia law and take the fight to the enemy."

Because he has so much free time, Rich has been instrumental in recruiting other white middle-class chaps into the bowels of extremism, and is often on the streets preaching against the West and for establishing a 'global Islamic state'.  As long as the British government continues to suffer the likes of people like Rich 'Salahuddin'  Dart, and continues to enable them by providing them the opportunity and platform to radicalize others, England is doomed.
