Skip to comments.Gingrich says Mozilla ousting just the 'most open, blatant example of the new fascism'
Posted on 04/07/2014 11:16:41 AM PDT by CutePuppy
Newt Gingrich laid it out perfectly on Sunday.
The forced ouster of Mozilla co-founder and CEO Brendan Eich this week was a sign of the "new fascism" of liberalism that's sweeping American life.
"People need to realize, if you're a young faculty member, in a lot of places if you're a young member of a news department and you have the wrong views meaning conservative you have no career," Gingrich said on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."
"This is just the most open and blatant example of the new fascism, which says, 'if you don't agree with us 100 percent, we have the right to punish you.'"
The best evidence Gingrich was right came from the half-hearted responses. Former Al Gore campaign manager Donna Brazile ludicrously tried to suggest Eich stepped aside voluntarily, while guest host Jonathan Karl tried pulling the race card into the discussion by asking about interracial marriage.
Gingrich stayed on point.
"I think the question is do you want to live in an open and tolerant society, or do you want impose your views at the cost of people's jobs?" he said.

From Newt Gingrich: Unlimited campaign donations will 'equalize the middle class and the rich' - The Raw Story, by David Edwards, 2014 April 06
..... "It is a big deal because it means that people can give to scores of campaigns," Gingrich told a panel on ABC News. "It's part of a continuum. It started a long time ago when they said that speech included money, which is the original decision. You, as a billionaire or millionaire, could go out and spend your own money. Of course, speech is money." "What's happen[ed] is that you've gone from that original decision to Citizens United, which said in effect that corporations could give, and created super PACs." ..... < snip > ..... Gingrich asserted that the next step would be to allow candidates to accept unlimited donations. "And you would overnight equalize the middle class and the rich," he declared.

Pale Moon is a fork of Firefox that would be worth a look
He's right. Speech is money...or, rather, money is speech. Air time doesn't come free, and you need money - lots of it - to buy airtime.
The only people who were silenced by the old rules were people who relied on small or individual donors. Taking off all restrictions would give the middle class (he doesn't mention the poor, since the poor generally don't donate to candidates) collectively the clout that rich institutional donors such as the unions have.
What's wrong with that?
Glad to hear it. I doubt that it will have any impact on the company, unfortunately, but maybe it will make it easier for Eich (or similarly treated people) to find a new job.
Some negative publicity has got to come to the "dating site" that organized the on-line social media campaign against him, too.
The Gaystapo has been around for years
they are just becoming more confident of their ability to have their way
Read "The Pink Swastika"
Keep in mind that this new fascism isn't really new at all. It's just another form of collectivism imposed by homosexual, collectivist, control freaks who have done this pretty much to every country where it has been imposed during the 20th century. Some 250 million people were murdered by them during this time period. It has gone by various names like fascism, communism, socialism, marxism, democracy, etc.
More good reading on the subject.
The "institutional/generational memory" of "What goes around comes around" may not be present for some of the younger members of liberal fascism / "progressive" movement.
But it will take a lot more than the "silent treatment" by the "silent majority" for a real pushback.
" 'Silent majority' will become 'silent minority' if it chooses to remain silent"
QTWeb is a small, powerful IE-based browser with some nice features (e.g., saving a Web page as PDF).
Also worth a look is SRWare Iron, similar to Google Chrome, but without Google's snooping.
I went ahead and added a link to Pale Moon in my reply.
I never have understood firing a person who is at the top—or near the top—of your company structure.
I think it only pisses them off & motivates them to go into business for themselves-—and to beat you at the game.
Travel, campaign staff and regular campaign activities may be severely limited, even when the "pro-specific-candidate" PACs are flush with money.
The qualified articulate middle-class people (not multimillionaires who could finance their own campaigns) could be tapped as candidates and adequately financed by others who are rich enough but have no political talents, time or interest in running for political office themselves.
Yeah - that's an equalizer that would significantly broaden qualified political talent pool running for all kinds of elective offices, and may reduce the time the candidates / politicians spend on fund-raising.
I am adding to it as i speak.
I have used Firefox extensively for years as a "power user" (and have about 140 tabs open across 8 thin rows), as it far surpasses all others due to the extns (TabMixPlus, Classic Compact, Colorful Tabs, Session Manager, etc.), thank God, and appreciate its community enabled customization, without pushing liberal ideology.
However, the forced ouster of Mozilla co-founder and CEO Brendan Eich this last week a cowardly yielding to pro-sodomite intimidation by those who are utterly intolerant of any expression that opposes their demand for special rights for their immoral wrongs.
What these activists/facists require will not stop at excluding traditional value execs from being hired, but will work for ultimately excluding Internet speech that in anyway opposes their destructive ethos.
In cyber terms, this exclusion of Mozilla is basically a manifestation of a "firewall' that excludes those who oppose what is in effect a form of "male-ware" (considering 79% of new HIV cases are among those engaging in MSM - CDC), that of a form of corrupt "coding" introduced by data corruption.

The gay Nazis are just a part of the leftist fascism that has taken over, and has been taking over for a long time. It isn't new, and when it comes to the American left, Hitler is alive and well. RINOs who play the game are no damn better.
How long before regular Joes and Janes start losing their employment over their beliefs?....................
Their days are numbered—they have been measured and found wanting. The Nation is about to turn Right—sharply, and they are on the wrong side of history. This will not go down without violence, I fear.
Then try Chromium which is not Chrome
They probably do - just not newsworthy
Exactly why Lively is right to be educating Africans and Russians on this threat.
Don't fall into their trap. A person who is personally opposed to inter-racial marriage, or who even privately supports campaigns against it, should not be punished by destroying his career, particularly if he has religious reasons for his beliefs.
I don't happen to share those beliefs, but he should not be punished for holding them, unless of course he commits actual discriminatory acts.
It is, BTW, possible to be opposed to interracial marriage without being at all racist, in the genuine meaning of the term.
FTM, I don't believe a person holding genuine racist beliefs should be persecuted simply for his beliefs, as opposed to actions.
As a small government conservative, I prefer to limit government regardless of who is in power. That choice preserves the Bill of Rights, limits government waste, and removes the incentive for corrupt thugs to seek power through politics. Sadly, too few people are on my side in this battle for freedom.
Very true. As you say, these things are illegal - "for conservatives."
The Democrats have routinely broken all sorts of campaign finance rules with impunity. Look at Obama's illegal gathering of unidentified and foreign online contributions during his presidential runs - no conservative or even GOPer in general could have gotten away with this.
One of the problems caused by the current laws for local GOP groups is that they are paralyzed by fear of making some innocent mistake that will destroy the organization or land them in court. These people are all volunteers, and do the best they can - but the Dems hire attorneys and accountants to comb through the records of these organizations looking for some violation or ambiguity (for example, at a fundraiser, when one little old lady put all 8 tickets for her table on her credit card because it was easier for her to do it this way and collect from her friends later - thereby incurring a campaign finance violation).
It has a paralyzing effect on GOP groups. Also, every year, each one of us who registered to work with the organization would receive a "legal letter" from Democratic Party lawyers telling us we were being watched and implying that we could end up in jail at any moment.
What the gaystapo doesn't realize is when the Marxists finally take over, the gays will be slaughtered in the name of purity for the party.
It has happened in every totalitarian regime. This one will be no different.
In one week, a nun is forced out after opposing homosexuality in teaching in a Catholic school, Mozilla co-founder and CEO Brendan Eich is forced out because he made a donation years ago to Prop 8 in 2008, and now SOTUS refuses to hear the case of te photo studio that was deemed guilty for not giving its services to a sodomite weeding, thus implicitly concurring with the guilty verdict.
And it will not stop there. For like those who sought to force their way into Lots' home, (Gn. 19) there modern day counterparts seek to force their way into every strata of society, as it give the devil glory to pervert the holy union God made btwn male and female, which the Lord specified was what God joined together.
That picture's got to be from OMSI in Portland...Left of left.
And queers are WHAT percent of the population - 5 to 10%?
there are 314,000,000 Americans now.
10% of them is 31.4 million.
CHOICE has killed 55 million or so.
Don't fall into their trap.
Indeed, it was a clumsy misdirection. Interracial marriage has existed for millennia because marriage has never been defined in terms of race.
Marriage has always been defined in terms of sex/gender - a sacred union between one man and one woman.
Though it was not specifically defined as such in the Bill of Rights, because it would be ridiculous and unnecessary to do so to define what has already been defined and well understood. A Constitutional Amendment to codify it after Speaker Gingrich has pushed and Congress overwhelmingly passed DOMA by veto-proof majorities in 1996 (same year Bob Dole lost badly in Presidential elections) was discussed briefly but went nowhere fast.
There have usually been some [localized] constraints on marriage such as age, mental capacity, health and genetic considerations etc. but they didn't in any way [seek to] redefine or expand the meaning of marriage.
Redefining marriage by sex renders it meaningless and leads to potential of redefining it by number of ways, including by number of participants, such as bigamy (why is that "unconstitutional" now?) and polygamy or "communal marriage."
That would be a much better comparison than interracial marriage, and a good question to ask back the "tolerant" - why is the same-sex "marriage" just fine with them but not the other forms of "marriage," like "Big Love" or "communal"? Because race never had anything to do with marriage - only with some cultures.
Actually, that's not at all true. In fact, this historically is a somewhat odd variation limited almost entirely to western societies.
The idea of marriage being a sacred union grew out of Christian ideas of marriage as a sacrament. The Jews of Christ's time apparently had a much more utilitarian approach to it. Much like Islam today, with exception that they'd already dropped polygamy. In fact, Jesus chewed the Jews of his day out for callously divorcing the "wife of his youth" when she was no longer attractive or convenient to have around.
The Romans, at least in the upper classes, married and divorced serially, without sweating themselves about notions of sacred unions.
Most societies down thru time have been polygamous, or more accurately polygynous, with upper class or powerful men, especially nobles and kings, maintaining harems, more or less openly depending on the society.
Personally, I'm all in favor of marriage as a sacred union between one man and one woman. But the idea is an aberration, not a norm.
It looks like a computer graphic
Just started using Comodo IceDragon. Only issue was transferring passwords and some favorites. Otherwise its slick. What about an alternative to the firefox mail server?
That's not really true either.
In India, people are generally constrained to marry within their caste (varna = color). Most historians believe caste rose out of conquerors of a different "race" trying to keep their race pure.
In most of these United States, interracial marriages were illegal and invalid for a very long time indeed.
Many other societies have had restrictions on intermarriage between groups that have some semblance to laws against interracial marriage.
I do note that the idea of "race" in the modern sense we take for granted is a unique idea. Only developed in the last few hundred years.
Possibly, but it is suspiciously similar to an exhibit at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) where a cable is suspended three stories up and attached to a steel ball that swings like a pendulum. The rotation of the earth causes it to move ever so slightly around a circle as it swings. The thing will eventually knock all the pins down in a 24 hour period. Just wondering 'cause it seems so random...
I just sent the feedback — there appeared to be well over 10,000 negatives then.
Did they move the pendulum downtown to the new location on the Willamette River?

I went to check on my post I made this morning, 38000 and counting. I had to word search to find my post as the first ten pages were 1 or 2 minutes old. This has gone viral and it is a F5 ripping through Mozilla. This makes the blow back from the Duck guys look minor. Mozilla is probably freaking out as most posters are claiming to remove Firefox as they can't tolerate what has gone on.
When are companies going to understand that catering to an over-vocal over-represented (in the media and entertainment) militant group is seriously bad for business? Chick-Fil-A stood up to them and is now the number one chicken company over KFC. People are rallying around companies that stand up against the jack-booted thugs on the left and fighting back which is good to see.
Thank you, Mr. K and Jack Hydrazine. I knew that several of the nazis at the top, just as a number of Communist spies, have been closet homosexuals, but apparently this issue has remained "in the closet" due to lack of insentives for disclosure and the Western media blackout and "political correctness" demands and harassment. During that same time, our detractors, mostly "gay" political activists, have increased their attacks on the book, primarily by ridiculing its premise, but occasionally by challenging certain facts or sources. They are rightly concerned that this book threatens their long-standing public-relations strategy of posing as victims to win public support for their political agenda. .....
..... In that time we have accumulated a substantial amount of new documentation supporting our thesis that the Nazi Party was conceived, organized and controlled throughout its short history by masculine-oriented male homosexuals who hid their sexual proclivities from the public, in part by publicly persecuting one group of their political enemies: out-of-the-closet effeminate-oriented homosexuals aligned with the German Communist Party.

This is much less known and understood than ecofascism / "green nazis"
There is even Libertarian National Socialist Green Party, whose emblem is the Nazi swastika on a green background, symbolising the party's synthesis of ecology with National Socialism.
Fascist Ecology: The "Green Wing" of the Nazi Party and its Historical Antecedents
It's all parts of the Democrats' "no 'cause' left untouched" strategy or - as Gingrich described it in his excellent analysis ("The challenge confronting Republicans" - FR, 2012 Dec 24) - "micro-targeting, micro-leaders, microcommunities, micro-organizations and micro-issues" loosely "united" in a "big tent" to achieve a political majority or plurality.
That's why we keep hearing the words "racist" and "denier" - applied to the "not down for the struggle" "heretics" who they want to be "outed" and shunned.
In other words, the comparison of same-sex "marriage" to interracial marriage is bogus, a trick that is only based on the past local legal constraints, same as applying the bogus battle-cry of "civil rights" in just about any issue that doesn't have a real, normal justification.

Look up Foucault pendulum in Google® and look at the pictures.
There are many museums that have these things set up.
There only TWO places on Earth that would have one rotation in 24 hours: the north or south pole.
Any other latitude would have less and less rotation until a pendulum is set on the equator; where it would have none at all.
Did thumone they PINK??
The Health Risks of gay sex.
Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
But there IS hope!!!
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...
Don't know. Haven't been around Portland for years, so the pendulum was just a vague memory.

So easy and so good! I used 2 chipotles (and no jalapenos) and a shallot in place of the green onions. Other than that, I followed the recipe. I love the idea of using creamed corn as the base for the dressing. No added oil and none needed!
What a super bean salad. We enjoyed this dish very much. It was nice and spicy with complimenting flavors and textures. The heat from the peppers was perfect. I served the salad in corn scoopables to enjoy as an appetizer. Thanks so much for sharing your tasty recipe Rita. :)
This is a healthy, protein-rich recipe. I served it with rice. Next time I will halve the recipe as it made quite a bit for two people. Thanks for sharing.

Pirate's plotting adult cabaret show
BUENA PARK The family-friendly Pirate's Dinner Adventure is going to mature a bit come spring. The dinner theater plans to add an adult cabaret show and will make $300,000 to $400,000 in renovations to accommodate it.
"I think it will be successful because it's something that's missing in the city," said general manager Julio Duran. "The idea is that this is the one place you can have a good time, really good performers and a good quality dinner."
The show, "Treasure Tavern," will have a loose storyline revolving around a proprietor character. Each show will include comedians, singing and dancing servers, and acts such as contortionists and magicians.
The show is recommended for people 18 and older, but younger teens will be allowed if accompanied by an adult. Tickets will be $70 to $80, which is more than the cost for the Pirate's family show ($58.95), so that the food can be higher quality, Duran said.
The same adult show has been at Florida's Pirate's location since 2010.
One of the pre-show rooms for the theater's family show will be converted into the "Treasure Tavern" theater. Plans call for a capacity of 200.
Pirate's will also enclose its front patio and update its disability access, Duran said. He expects to get city building permits before Christmas.

Great :) Ohh, I forgot -- we currently use something like ExclusiveArch: i586, i686, x86_64, ppc to specify the target archs to build for. Some people don't like that -- it would be good if the buildsys could handle this, too (but of course the buildsys should not try to build for i386 -- that will fail). > > > ppc64iseries and > > > ppc64 support isn't there yet though... > > ppc64 would probably require a special builder afaik where *.ppc64 isn't > > excluded?

Yeah, I know. For ppc-build that's okay and the best solution, but to build ppc64 kmod's we need to include at least kernel-devel*.ppc64 and probably some other crucial packages, too (glibc.ppc64 libgcc.ppc64 ? maybe others ). I tried to build a kmod for ppc64 with mock once -- worked just fine after removing the Exclude = *.ppc64 from the mock-conf for the target and putting ppc64-redhat-linux into /etc/rpm/platform on the host. So it shouldn't be a big deal to set a plague-builder up for ppc64 somewhere. But how to we make sure that only kmod's are build for ppc64 (and not everything). Can plague handle that? -- Thorsten Leemhuis <fedora leemhuis info>

It's that time of year when people everywhere are mulling over gifts for children. I've been thinking a lot about it myself — especially the whole toys thing. Even with all of my efforts to keep them to a minimum and not buy into the commercial culture, it still seems like my girls have too many toys. But I know it's not simply about volume, it's the kind of toys they have as well.
One of the things relatives and friends have noticed about S and H is how imaginative they are in their play. This is likely due to the fact that, for the first four and a half years of their lives, they probably had no toys; instead, they would have played with whatever they found in their natural environment — sticks, stones, who knows what else. They now seem to be able to envision endless possibilities and create amazing scenarios with basic objects.
In this BBC News article, psychologist Oliver James says young children are better off "colonizing objects" in their environment because they discover their identity through fantasy play. "If their toys offer a limited repertoire, this process is eroded," he says.
This is why I'm reluctant to buy a house or camper for my daughters' little toy critters: Wouldn't they be better off continuing to build such things with their legos and blocks? And while I'm not particularly thrilled that underwear and socks get used as baby doll head gear, I do like that froggy's long spindly legs and arms get tied up so he can be used as a turkey for pretend Thanksgiving dinners.
Some toys seem like no-brainers — like wooden blocks and dolls, for example. In the article I mentioned above, author Liat Hughes Joshi says there are three factors that make a brilliant toy: "Social value — a dolls' house allows children to play together, versatility — Lego bricks can be made into anything, and durability — such as a wooden train track that the child will use for years."
Those seem like good guidelines for toys to me.
What are your guidelines for buying toys? Are there things you steer away from or particularly like?

Books of 2016
As the first day of 2017 starts to end, it's time to reflect on the books that I've been reading in 2016. Admittedly, reading has been a struggle this year with job redundancies taking mind space as well as trying to finish books that I've started. So here is my list of the books I've managed to read and enjoy. They are not listed in any order of preference.
The first one I'm going to talk about was one that had me gripped from the very first page and I couldn't put it down. A wonderful gothic ghost story and I highly recommend any of Jeanette Taylor Ford's work
2. The Witches Daughter by Paula Brackston. I've just finished the sequel to this and I love the characters and world weaved by Brackston. If you are a fan of history with an element of fantasy then you'll love this just as much as I did.
3 I was very lucky to get to read this before release and I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Clash of Empires by Paul Bennett is set during the French Indian War and at first I was unsure whether it was something I could get into, but I was wrong. I learned so much about a small part of American History and the characters created were believable and well written. Again another history fiction book that's a must read.
4. Ben Kane is always a favourite of mine. There's very little this author can do wrong and not only did he release a new book this year, but I had the privilege of meeting him once again. Always a gentleman and so clued up on his history. If you love Roman History then this man is a must read.
5. David Baker doesn't write the genre that would usually appeal to me, but the Viper Series is always a very good read. The characters are ones that can be invested in and his writing is light and easy to work with. I enjoy reading David's work and with this series always hitting the bestseller then I'm not the only fan.
Grimms and I
Reading has always been a big part of my life and one of my favourite reads was my collection of The Brothers Grimm stories. My favourite being Faithful John. A story of how a faithful servant saved his prince and paid the price by being turned to stone. Only the blood of the prince's children would bring him back to life.
What appealed was the darkness of the stories that involved some form of sacrifice in order to get the happy ending and I think anyone who reads my books can agree that I make my protagonist work really hard for their happy ending, showing how much those stories have influenced the way I write.
So, when I wrote Celestia, I wanted to write something that reflected my love of fairy tales and told in a similar way. The story is a typical prince and princess story betrothed to one another, but of course this is one of my creations and so the twists and turns in the story and characters have a darker side. I play with the stereotypical characteristics and have created my own fairy tale, which is both dark and funny.
The Mythology of Succubi
Recently I was asked about the subject of my new novella and The Mina Marley Chronicles. They had no idea what a Succubus was and as I explained I realised he might not be alone.
Incubi and Succubi were considered sexual demons who would rape their victims in their sleep and their victims would deteriorate in health and some die. It is said that Merlin was fathered by an incubi and the reason for his power.
In the bible, Lilith, Adam's first wife became the first succubus after having sex with the angel Samuel. (Aaah, your thinking. That's where Mina Marley comes into it)
In the Malleus Maleficarum written by Henrick Kramer, the succubus would collect semen from her victims, then the incubi would impregnate their female victims. The children would be born deformed and become witches. There is no explanation of why using the semen of human men put into human women would be any different to normal conception. But the Maleficarum is not known for its consistencies
So why the succubus? Well because I suffer with a sleep disorder known as Hypagognia and Sleep Paralysis. It's a condition where I hallucinate at the point of sleep and so see "Ghosts" and then have the feeling of being pinned down on the bed unable to move or breathe. These episodes were blamed in days of old on the Incubi/succubi and so doing research into the disorder sparked an interest in the mythology.
So that is when I wrote The Succubus. I wanted to play with the idea that the demon could bring with her a gift to mankind, not unlike Merlin, but whether it was good or bad would depend on the human and that's what the story is about.
The Witch's Daughter
The Witch's Daughter was recommended by a work colleague and her description of the story made me cringe. I remember saying to her 'Will I get angry?' But something made me pick up the book and start reading, and I'm glad I did.
The story starts in modern day with Elizabeth Hawksmith, a witch who has lived for 100's of years. Having just moved to town, she is starting to live a normal life where she can settle and not be noticed. She then catches the attention of teenage girl Tegan and a friendship is formed, but this comes at a prices. Elizabeth has an enemy who has stalked her since the start of her immortality and it's this Gideon that she must protect Tegan from. The story then jumps back to Batchcomb in 1622 and Elizabeth tells Tegan how she came to be a witch and how she had Gideon met.
Everything about this book historically and witch wise convinced me that I would be repelled by it. So many fiction writers take this era and topic and give in to cliches, but I didn't feel that with Paula Brackston's work. She had done her researched it well and her knowledge on Wicca was excellent. One reviewer complained that she'd cliched by using the plague as the start of the witch trial the the lead finds herself in. I would object to that. It didn't take much for someone to be accused of witchcraft. It was one of the easiest ways to get rid of an enemy.
The pace and readability was easy and it took only a few days to read. I didn't want to put it down and would read the next installment. My only complaint was the final showdown between Gideon and Elizabeth felt a little rush with an abrupt ending, but nevertheless and enjoyable read that I would recommend
Mary Lakeland, Witch or Royalist
The punishment for witchcraft in England was hanging, unlike popular theory that witches were burned at the stake, that punishment was only carried out in the Americas and Europe. It was the punishment that Matthew Hopkins and John Stearne served if a person was found guilty of witchcraft. However, when it came to Mary Lakeland, something made Hopkins change tact, which has led to my theory of the true crime of the woman. Hopkins tried her as a traitor and not a witch and if that's true. Why?
In late 1645 a pamphlet was published titled Confessions of Mother Lakeland of Ipswich in Suffolk which described her as an admitted witch of nearly 20 years. However there was some evidence that suggested that Hopkins was purposely sent to accuse her of witchcraft when really she was believed to be a Royalist agent. At her trial, four other people were accused of witchcraft and they were acquitted and Mary burned.
One theory was that Mary was not only accused of murdering her husband but was also accused of taking revenge on a man who had broken a courtship with her granddaughter. However, the man had links with the shipping industry something that he had in common. There is a strong possibility that the two men in communication with each other used the guise of witchcraft in order get rid of a bothersome future family member. But she was also responsible for Royalist publications and with the area of East Anglia being predominately Parliamentarian this would have been seen as treason.
Hopkins used the walking method on Mary and this is when she confessed. The walking method was a favourite technique of Hopkins. By keeping the accused awake for hours by walking them around the room constantly and eventually exhaustion would extract a confession. However, Mary Lakeland was described as a strong willed woman who should have been able to stand her ground. So this causes me to wonder was the reason she chose not to save herself was due to political reasons. This may seem a little weak. After all why risk her life? But the English Civil War was a war that tore even families apart. The belief in their course was a strong one. Even today religion and politics are always a hot topic. So it's not unreasonable to believe that Mary Lakeland died for her Royalist belief and Hopkins burned her for it.
As for Hopkins' motives, my belief is that his popularity was starting to wane and he was desperate for some official endorsement. My theory is that desperation caused him to be swayed into the way of politics. If he impressed the right people or even Oliver Cromwell then Hopkins career as witch finder would be an official one. It would make sense to why he chose to burn her rather than hang her as was customary. I believe that the burning of Lakeland did nothing but backfire on Hopkins. Already the tide was turning and people in power either were losing interest or not interested at all. Cromwell, could very well have heard of what Hopkins was doing, but the General had more important things to worry about than an overzealous man who killed a female Royalist.
So was Mary Lakeland a witch or Royalist, my opinion is that she was indeed killed for political reasons, however, to prove it is hard. But you have to ask yourself why Hopkins steered away from methods he knew well and used on every other witch and risk everything.
The Legacy of Lilith
10:145, 152-153
Was she thy God,
lovely to attract
Thy love, not thy subjection
Milton's Paradise Lost
The first book of the Bible, Genesis, talks about the creation of the perfect garden and the creation of Man has always been one of my favourite of all the biblical stories, although one character who is linked but not in the book has fascinated me more.
Lilith appears in Book of Isaiah 34:14, describing Edom, where the Hebrew word lilit (or lilith) appears in a list of eight unclean animals, some of which may have demonic associations. This built the mythology of Lilith being the Queen or Mother of demons.
Her nobles shall be no more, nor shall kings be proclaimed there; all her princes are gone. Her castles shall be overgrown with thorns, her fortresses with thistles and briers. She shall become an abode for jackals and a haunt for ostriches. Wildcats shall meet with desert beasts, satyrs shall call to one another; There shall the Lilith repose, and find for herself a place to rest.There the hoot owl shall nest and lay eggs, hatch them out and gather them in her shadow; There shall the kites assemble, none shall be missing its mate. Look in the book of the LORD and read: No one of these shall be lacking, For the mouth of the LORD has ordered it, and His spirit shall gather them there. It is He who casts the lot for them, and with His hands He marks off their shares of her; They shall possess her forever, and dwell there from generation to generation.
Then around 13th Century, in order to explain some inconsistancies within the Old Testement, the Midrashic Literature, explained that Lilith not Eve was Adam's first wife.
At the same time Jehovah created Adam, he created a woman, Lilith, who like Adam was taken from the earth. She was given to Adam as his wife. But there was a dispute between them about a matter that when it came before the judges had to be discussed behind closed doors. She spoke the unspeakable name of Jehovah and vanished.
It is from this mythology that the seed grew from The Mina Marley Chronicles. I wanted to create a story where Lilith is born again as Mina Marley and as well as telling her story in a modern setting. I wanted to link Lilith's creation with that of the Supernatural world and play with the idea of her being a Mother or Queen. My tag line is that both Heaven and Hell want her dead. The idea that Mina as Lilith has the power of both realms running through her veins makes her uncontrollable and unpredictable. The Powers that Be ultimately want the reunion between her and Adam (Sebastian Daniels) who upon finding out that the angels had tricked him with a new wife (Eve) flew in to incandescent rage. The deal was made that he would remain immortal until Lilith was reborn and he would have what was his. But of course, nothing ever goes to plan, because far too many people have meddled in Mina's life that it all goes wrong.
So upon writing the back story of Adam and Lilith, I tweaked a lot of the original Adam and Eve story and melded it into Lilith's. I wanted people to look at her as less of evil demon or disobedient wife, but one that was curious and wanted to know why Adam was preferred over her. I wanted to also create a back story of Lilith's link between herself and Supernatural creatures giving a basis of why Supton was built and why Otherworldly creatures flock there to live.
For me, Mina Marley is as much human as she can be despite her supernatural heritage. Born from an angel father and a succubus mother, yet she embodies what I feel Lilith is to us women especially. Choosing not be submissive, but standing up for ourselves and being strong in a positive way. Mina has the power to destroy everything in her path and yet doesn't. She loves and hates equally, but knows that actions have consequences. She makes mistakes and has poor judgement sometimes. However, that's how God made her. She was made with flaws, because if she wasn't then she'd be almost angelic in purity.
So if you choose to join Mina on her journey, then keep that in mind, because for me Lilith is more relatable than Eve.
This is my version of the Garden of Eden story told by Gabriel
Writing and I
How many times have I heard 'You're not a real writer.' from people, because I'm not traditionally published. Why am I not a real writer? I spend hours on end creating stories, which I then format and publish off my own steam. Surely that makes me a writer right? Does it matter how I do it? I just do it. Is this justified? I'm not sure. I've read some appauling traditionally published books and equally read some fantastic self published work.
Looking back over my writing career, I still find it astounding that this is what I do and still do. The first time I started to write, I had no idea what I was doing. I just remember writing words down and allowing the story I had to tell just to come out of me. That first story was Morgan and honestly, those first drafts were appaullingly bad. It just never worked or made sense, but it was a start. The seed had been planted and I was stepping on the road to my new way of life.
By the time I was writing The Higher Trilogy, I was taking it much more seriously. Learning about the trade and my writing was showing it. I'd considered writing courses and groups, but my experience doing a creative writing module at Uni put me off. Although there were some great ideas and tips that I gained from other students, the Tutor was not a fan of my writing style, complaining at the darkness that my stories always seemed to take. But my leanings reading wise has always been on the dark side, so the tone of writing reflects that. I even remember being told once that I shouldn't write using my own style. It's too risky to do that I was told. You should write properly. Again, this advice flummexed me. Why would I wait to be successful before using my own voice? Readers fall for the style just as much as plot and characters. Again it seemed people had tips on how to write and some of it was from those that had never write anything in thier life. One even said to me that I had good ideas, but I would be better with a ghostwriter. How to batter a writers confidence. Thankfully this was during my early writing career and I've learned what to take on and what not to. I may not sell millions but people are buying and reading and that speaks volumes.
When it comes to my writing process, I'm a bit haphazard. There's a basic planning to the story, notes taken, but I don't do anything special or use my office. In fact, the office gets neglected and should be used more. But I'm happy on the laptop in the middle of somewhere noisy and from there I can fall into my writing world quite quickly. But one of the things I've learned is that the craft I'm in is a personal one as is my journey. You can learn the technicalities, which is helpful, but I do beleive that if you can then you will. I could go on course after course, but would it make me a better writer? Maybe, maybe not, but all I know is that the love of what I do drives me and that is all that matters.
So am I real writer? Yes I bloody well am. It's in my blood and I will continue doing it till they prise the pen from my cold dead fingers 😉
Sporting Achievement
When it comes to sports, apart from team sports like netball and hockey, I was never any good. I had no confidence in myself and I just wasn't really interested. The thought of being out in a cold wet field or on hot day in stifling heat, doing any form of excercise was a big no no. I remember the days that we would have to do cross country, which involved running from one high school to another. It was pure torture. Walking through most of it, with the teacher shouting beside you to keep running. Now after doing some running as an adult, I realise that the way they went about it was all wrong. We were never taught how to run, just told to do it. Even during atheletics in the 100m, I would collapse on the floor feining some sort of death, while the girl with asthma would pass me and I'd curse her arse. 🙂
Then after the death of my dad, I decided that I needed to change my life in alot of ways. My mum had died at forty five through alot of bad lifestyle choices and my dad at sixty. When your parents dies so young, it brings your own mortality to the forefront, so I choose to do everything in my power to extend my own lifespan. Yes, I could be hit by a bus tomorrow, but at least I can say I did what I could.
About a eight or nine months ago a friend of mine talked me into taking up karate and wouldn't put up with the 'I'm too fat and unfit' excuse. I walked into the Dojo and felt totally lost. We started doing katas and the feeling of being overwhelmed just exemplified, but my Sensei, pushed and encouraged. I continued going to classes and slowly began to improve and settle into each class. I moved up the grading so that now I'm on my orange belt. #TeamOrange. Then just before christmas, I decided to do something that would have had me running for the hills and that was to compete. I mean go against others and try and win. What am I thinking? But I signed up and trained.
After picking my Kata, Siafa, I worked week after week to get it right. For those who don't know this is an example of the Kata.
The kumite (Sparring) was just practise and down to the day with the opponant, so I watched videos, learned from the higher grades and concentrated on my Kata. I would be on my own doing this in front of a crowd and judges. Could I have put myself under any more pressure. Then with a week to go, the Saifa wasn't quite working and had a last minuite change to do First Kata.
The day of the tournment we walked into the sports hall and the nerves hit. I wasn't on until 12 and so had plenty of time to warm up and practise. I watched others and supported those from my Dojo who were competing and then it was my time.
Standing there and waiting to go on, I felt like this was it. I'd trained so there was no reason why I couldn't do this. I bowed in and went for it. There was very little time to process what I'd done before it was time to do the Kumite. I can honestly say that it was the most fun I'd had. It also showed me that I was capable of anything, I just needed to beleive it.
I walked away with double silver and I walked away very proud or myself.
I call my karate comrades my family and they are. From feeling so isoloted and out of it walking into the Dojo for the first time. I've made some great friends and adopted more sons and daughters. We all support one another. I love them a great deal and ontop of that Sensei Nix who has spent so much time working with me and making sure I'm the best I can be. So for the first time in my life, I've won something sporty and acheived another milestone in my life.
Mina Marley: The End is Nigh
Right now I'm in the process of writing the final installment of The Mina Marley Chronicles and with it is not only the sense of sadness that comes from leaving some characters behind, but the fear also. With five books, I've taken readers on a journey through the life of Mina Marley and others of Supton and now it's time to tie everything up in a nice neat bow. Making sure that every plot has been filled and and I've not left anything hanging or open, that I haven't intended anyway.
I'm accustomed to saying goodbye to characters. My first book was a trilogy called The Higher and I struggled to say goodbye to them, but with Mina it seems that she's become so much about what I am as an author. My product and selling point. This character that was once just a way to get traffic to my website has grown into something I didn't quite expect.But it's given me a chance to really look at my lead protagonist in real depth.
I wonder if there's a little of everyone in Mina, the awkward, self concious woman trying to find a little peice of herself in a world she feels she fights against. She is trying desperately to lead a normal life in extraordinary situations and her love life is as about as complicated as it can get. She loves two men,one who is literally made for her. Her perfect match and can give her anything and everything, but her heart wants another. He hides his feelings, dissapears on a whim, afraid to commit to any feelings, but when another is on the scene becomes possessive. Sound familar. Mina, it seems, embodies the complexities of being a human, where we want so much of what's not right for us instead of taking the gifts that are given to us. Mina Marley is an Angel and an Incubus, with both heaven and hell running in her blood, yet to me she seems more and more human the further into the story we go. Her struggles are just the same as ours, right down to whether we take the good or the bad.
Mina can also be very selfish in her actions, it's all about herself and how she feels. In book three, she runs away with Micka after Sebsatian has invested so much into her. She knows that deep down, she is going to hurt the pair of them. Sebsatian, because she has gone with another man and Micka, because for them being together he will have to fall. There are severe consquences to what she's doing, and she is constantly told so, but she does it anyway. This for me doesn't make me hate her, but feel frustrated. How many times have we been in a situation where we've known damn well the consequences of our actions will have a negative impact and yet in the heat of the moment, it's about our needs.
But there are positives to Mina, she's very loyal and loving to those around her. It seems she doesn't mean to get into the situations she does, but circumstances edge her that way. She's fighting not only her own war, but others also. Supton is full of supernatural beings that have chosen to live as humans and each one as their own issues, but Mina is always there for them. She tries her best and sometimes messes that up, but over all she does get the job done.
The polar opposites of what's inside her. The heaven and hell in Mina, I've enjoyed playing with. Because as humans we have the capacity also. Not many of us are all Good or all Evil, but many of us the elements of both, what sways our day to day choices is our free will. When that person is rude or cuts us up, it's our free choice to whether we walk away or we smash their face in 🙂 and I think that's what I'm trying to convey with Mina Marley's character. She has both angels and demons dictating to her how she should live her life, yet every choice she makes she tries and makes it herself. Her mistakes are usually her own, but like with many of us, it's easy to blame one side or the other when things go wrong, something I'm exploring with Mina right now. A culmiation of events has left my character resentful and angry and right now she blames everyone but herself. Maybe she's right in this instance, but it also gives you pause for thought. When things go wrong in your life do you blame that traumatic event from childhood or do you think well maybe I'd got here anyway.
Mina Marley is by far my favourite character I've ever created and I will miss her when she's gone, but I think I can safely say, I've created one that is so multi-dimensional that many readers will be able to relate to many of her trials and tribulations.
2015 Rolling into 2016
As you may have seen in the news, York has been underwater and we, where we live have had a white knuckle few days and while it's calm and dry for now, Storm Frank may just tip the river over the edge. But at our end of the river Ouse, everything has held steady and we've to count our blessings every day that the flood defenses have done what they were supposed to. But that's right now and I want to look at my 2015.
After a hard 2013 and an even tougher 2014, this year for me has brought many blessings and I'm grateful for all of it. Those who were close know that during the end of 2013 I was struggling and by 2014 I'd descended into a near breakdown situation. Some events were caused by my own naive decisions and some by things that were out of my control. I walked into January this year with a new positive and feisty attitude and was ready to recover and get better and once I get it into my head to do something nothing stops me. With the help of family and friends, the recovery for me was a smooth one and part of the healing process was to focus on the writing.
I was working on the fourth Mina Book and playing around with a story on Matthew Hopkins at the start of the year. The new positive energy was driving both projects forward, but admittedly, my own self-confidence in my work took a little longer to catch up. Then by the middle of the year, I found someone who boosted it.
While doing a formatting project for David Baker the author, he told me about the editor he used. I'd been mulling around the idea for a while. Funds being the biggest issue, but then I took the plunge. Surely this guy would tell me if I was wasting my time.
John Hudspith has been one of the greatest investments I've ever made. He has near on finished editing The Mina Marley Chronicles: Micka and Me and has given constructive and positive feedback. This has given me the extra confidence knowing that I'm good enough and my next challenge in the coming year is self-promotion, which I admittedly am rubbish at.
I also started a fantasy epic which I'm writing with a new author and good friend Daniel Hinsley and I can honestly say I'm excited at the work we've already done and what there is left to do.
So 2016, I will be promoting a lot more, investing in signings and book fairs and getting the word out there that I'm around. I also will be sending Hopkins to John for editing once he's done with Mina, which I'm sure he will love. Fingers crossed anyway.
My 2016 projects and releases will be Hopkins' Last Witch, a fictional tale centred around the historical figures of Matthew Hopkins and John Stearne who in the 1640's, during the Civil War, sent around 200 people in East Anglia to their deaths as witches. The story focuses on both Matthew and a fictional character Sinead Crowley accused of murdering her lover with witchcraft. I'm hoping that it will make people look at the events and character Hopkins a little differently.
Also I will be continuing to write the fantasy with Dan, which is based on the world where our seasons come from. It's a coming of age tale of how one young man is thrust into power while he struggles with his own demons, while the once queen of Winter tries to find her own place in a world that no longer wants her.
Then there's the final Mina Marley book, which promises to be an explosive and surprising ending to a series that I've loved. It's a bittersweet goodbye, but I've loved every moment with them all in Supton.
So that's my goal for next year and I must say I'm looking forward to some serious writing and meeting some amazing people. So once again thank you all for your support and I will see you on the other side.

The menisci are C-shaped fibrocartilage disks that occupy the periphery of the knee joint and serve a number of significant mechanical functions including load distribution across articular cartilage, and joint stabilization. In the face of such mechanical demands, it is not surprising that the meniscus can become damaged. Unfortunately, surgical options for the treatment of damaged menisci are limited, primarily due to the poor vascularity and healing capacity of the central two thirds of the meniscus. Allograft implantation is complicated by the threat of transmission of infectious diseases, the difficulty of matching meniscal shape and material properties, and problems with maintaining cell viability. While meniscectomy (the complete or partial removal of the affected tissue) which is the most common orthopedic procedure performed in the United States can lead to the early onset of osteoarthritis. Providing a meniscal substitute engineered to function much in the way of the native tissue could delay or even avoid the onset of osteoarthritis. Meniscal substitutes, whether cell-seeded degradable scaffolds or synthetic implants, should ideally help to distribute loads across adjacent articular cartilage much in the way of the native tissue, thereby protecting the underlying articular cartilage. However, the properties of a substitute that are required to ensure that this functional capability is met are unclear. This is caused in part by the absence of a robust, comprehensive and physiologically relevant model within which the effect of substitute design variables can be parametrically studied. This lack of such a test, or series of tests, makes the design and evaluation of candidate scaffolds impossible, retards the regulatory pathway to commercialization, and leads to a situation where scaffolds are implanted in humans with little information about their ability to perform mechanically in the highly-loaded environment of the knee joint. Our goal is to define the relationship between meniscal substitute material and structural properties and joint contact mechanics under multiple physiological activities across a range of patient populations. The main element of the framework required to achieve this goal is a statistically-based, rapidly computable interpolator that will be built using results from experimentally-validated knee specific computational models. We will gather information about factors that most markedly affect the functional performance of the native meniscus and use this information as a template to identify the design space into which substitutes should fall if they are to function appropriately. Our goal is not to design a meniscal substitute;rather, we will demonstrate that our approach can establish a workable design space for use by those developing solutions for meniscal repair. Our efforts will culminate in the development of a new paradigm for the development and screening of any complicated tissue substitute, whether a non-degradable implant or a cell-seeded degradable scaffold prior to initiating more time consuming and costly animal and clinical trials.
