The silly boy had actually demanded the right to stage such parades in Moscow for the next 100 years, somehow implying that he didn\u2019t mind what happened when the hundred years was up.<\/p>\n<p>This illogicality on his part obviously didn\u2019t go down very well with the mayor and aldermen of Moscow, not to mention the good burghers of the city \u2014 assuming they have mayors, aldermen and burghers in Moscow. I know they have burgers, but I\u2019m not sure about <em>burghers<\/em>. I\u2019ll have to check!<\/p>\n<p>Nickolay also opposes St Petersburg\u2019s ban on spreading \u201chomosexual propaganda\u201d. The European Court of Human Rights has told Russia to pay him damages. This is because the European Court of Human Rights believes that spreading propaganda is a \u201chuman right\u201d, especially if it\u2019s war propaganda or homosexual propaganda. If it is propaganda for traditional moral values and ethical decency, they are understandably not so keen on its dissemination.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, let\u2019s face it, who wants to be <em>decent <\/em>nowadays? I\u2019ve never heard anything so outrageous. At this rate, they will be threatening to bring back capital punshment, torture, and the Ten Commandments. Actually, they <em>have<\/em> brought back torture. So it\u2019s geting pretty scary. It could be the Ten Commandments next.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday Nickolay said he would go back to the European Court in Strasbourg to push for a recognition that Moscow\u2019s ban on gay pride marches \u2014 past, present and future \u2014 was unconstutional.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that\u2019s interesting, because almost everything done in the United States nowadays is \u201cunconstitutional\u201d, including targeted assassinations, imprisonment without due process, and torture for fun.<\/p>\n<p>The Moscow city government argues that the gay parade would risk causing public disorder and that most Muscovites do not support such an event.<\/p>\n<p>I think this is a shocking attitude to take. It implies there\u2019s something wrong with public disorder. Which is ridiculous. It implies that the democratic will of the people of Moscow, who are strangely enough called \u201cMuscovites\u201d instead of \u201cM<em>o<\/em>scovites\u201d, ought to be taken into account. Which is even <em>more<\/em> ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p>Americans will not sympathize with these views since they know it\u2019s now an American tradition never to implement the will of the people. If the people want something, the American government strongly believes, every attempt should be made to give them the <em>opposite<\/em>. If they want peace, for example, it\u2019s best to give them war. If they want a fairer distribution of wealth, it\u2019s best to rob the poor to make the rich richer. If they want job security, it\u2019s best to export their jobs to the Third World. In short, if they want to be happy, it\u2019s best to make them thoroughly miserable.<\/p>\n<p>This is how government now works in America. It\u2019s called <em>neo-democracy<\/em>. Not very different from tyranny, in point of fact, but please don\u2019t tell the sheeple that!<\/p>\n<p>When riots in the streets break out and half the American population find themseves behind bars \u2014 apart, that is, for the children of Abraham who will fulfil the role of prison warders \u2014 the sheeple will be told that locking them up is the <em>new freedom.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And the sillybillies will believe it!<\/p>\n<p>In September, the Council of Europe \u2014 the main human rights watchdog in Europe \u2014 will examine Russia\u2019s response to a previous European Court ruling on the gay rights issue, Russian media report.<\/p>\n<p>In October 2010 the court said Russia had discriminated against Mr Alexeyev on grounds of sexual orientation. It had considered Moscow\u2019s ban on gay parades covering the period 2006-2008, obviousy under the bizarre impression that they had a perfect right to stick their long noses into Russia\u2019s private affairs.<\/p>\n<p>That Russia is a sovereign country, in which Russians decide what is best for themselves, is a principle that has apparently not penetrated the thick skulls of these European politicians \u2014 the same politicians, incidentally, who blinked and turned their eyes the other way when pedophilia was running rampant in Belgium during the time of the Dutroux child murders.<\/p>\n<p>You will gather from this that the European Court of Human Rights is not unlike the American government. It also believes staunchly in <em>neo-democracy<\/em>, i.e., giving the people exactly the opposite of what they want. For their own good, you understand<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/gay_kiss_0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-54670\" title=\"gay_kiss_0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/gay_kiss_0-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/gay_kiss_0-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/gay_kiss_0.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>It is deeply disturbing to think that loving couples like those\u00a0on the left\u00a0will no longer be able to show their mutual affection in public for the next hundred years in Moscow\u2019s Gay Pride Parades. They will be forced to confine their amorous activities to the private sphere. Is this right or fair? I don\u2019t think so! Russia is clearly showing signs of degeneracy. This is not how civilized countries ought to behave.<\/p>\n<p>I vote we bomb Iran, where they are just as bad, And then take out Russia. And maybe China too.<\/p>\n<p>All these anti-democratric countries, where the will of ordinary people is taken into account, are obviously a threat to civilization and democratic values.<\/p>\n<p>These horrible countries also have a lot of oil and gas, though of course this is totally irrelevant.
