Tribulations Of Nordic System Affecting Universities
The declining economic fortunes of economies subscribing to the Nordic System is trickling down institutions of higher education in those countries (archived). At the end of January the University of Helsinki announced it was preparing to purge nearly 1000 positions from its payroll (archived) and now the University of Copenhagen is preparing to remove more than 500 positions from its payroll (archived). In its English language press release the University of Copenhagen notes that annual funding decreases are its normal expectation and that among other measures they plan to "makeover" their medical science programs as the equipment and laboratories they demand at present is too expensive for a proper Nordic System university to maintain.
United States Capitol Region To Bribe Potential Repeat Criminals
Earlier this week the council governing the United States Capitol region approved a bill which would lead to stipends for up to 200 persons with a history of criminal convictions determined to be the most likely commit new crimes (archived). Criminals offered this fellowship stipend would maintain their fellowship through participation in their re-education curricula and avoiding capture in connection with the commission of new crimes.
Oregon Standoff Supplanted In US Media By Celebrity Drama
The stand off initiated by Federal forces to reclaim an outpost liberated by Militants has taken a violent turn with Lavoy Finicum becoming a martyr in a hail of Federal bullets and Ryan Bundy suffering a gunshot wound. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Oregon state police have begun a siege against the remaining militia's free outpost in Oregon, and an agent of the court proclaiming to speak for the captured Ammon Bundy is encouraging the remaining militia forces to surrender. Yet mainstream media outlets in the United States are trying to whip the population into a fervor over a different kind of stand off with far less at stake. Continue reading
Militia Hero Killed, Ammon Bundy And Several Others Captured
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Oregon State police killed one Militia hero and captured six members of the liberating Militia in Oregon. Lavoy Finicum was reportedly killed after Federal Forces initiated hostilities when militia members were travelling to perform community outreach in a nearby town outside the borders of the liberated zone. One of the captured Militia men was further wounded. Those reportedly captured were:
- Ammon Bundy
- Ryan Bundy1
- Brian Cavalier
- Shawna Cox
- Ryan Payne
- Peter Santill
Other militias remain in the liberated zone armed, and now likely at a far higher state of alert. The federal forces' local Roland Freisler has drawn up for all of the captured heroes felony charges of:
conspiracy to impede officers of the United States from discharging their official duties through the use of force, intimidation, or threats, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 372.
This escalation to lethal violence on the part of Federal Terrorist leader Barack Hussein Obama comes as Militia liberators were winning the war of ideas. These heroes took a peaceful stand seeking the Federal government turn away from despotism and towards its constitutional bounds. Federal forces resorted in desperation to escalating the confrontation to violence as they lacked the patience and resolve to even try winning the moral contest. Why should residents of the United States worry about any foreign threats to their life or freedom when the Federal government presents such an immediate threat?
Update: Ryan Bundy was the casualty wounded by a gunshot. ↩

Two US Navy Boats And Ten Sailors In Iranian Custody

USG Makes Tired Sheriff Face Of Oregon Operations
So Tired
As the Oregon liberation continues to hold, the United States Government has made one very tired local Sheriff the face of its efforts to recapture the liberated outpost. Harney County Sheriff David Ward, who normally presides over a force of locally forced six is now the public face of the combined government effort lead by Federal Force IV.1
As the face of Federal reclamation efforts Ward has had to balance the competing demands of meeting with Oregon liberators as a representative of the United States Government, vacillating between promises of free passage and criminal charges, and keeping local residents in a state of panic by closing local schools and businesses. Meanwhile mainstream leftist publications are criticising him for utilizing polite manners when meeting with the leadership of a formidable armed force instead of suicidally attempting to arrest or shoot the entire liberating militia force himself. All of this attention and these new responsibilities appear to be taking a substantial toll on Ward's sleep hygiene.
Completely absent from reporting in mainstream outlets loyal to the United States government is any mention of relevant Hussein Bahamas administration officials with responsibility for the type of Federal outpost liberated in Oregon. It is like no one in the Federal government sees an opportunity to derive glory from this. It appears no one in today's Federal government wants the "glory" Janet Reno won at Waco or that Richard Rogers won at Ruby Ridge. Hussein's 2008 campaign slogan "Yes we can" has in this last year of his administration turned around completely into a quiet "Fuck it, why even try?" At this rate there will be little left for whoever gets stuck as the next United States president.

Iran Announces Hajj Ban
In the wake of escalating tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran, the Iranian government has announced it is forbidding its citizens from undertaking the Hajj, a pilgrimage to the the cities of Mecca and Medina and obligatory religious duty in Islam. This measure illustrates that states can and do impede their citizen's right to exercise their conscience even when their government was nominally established as an expression of that conscience.
