Speaking in Turkey on Tuesday, British Prime Minister David Cameron slammed Israel and called Gaza a “prison camp.” (Apparently Gaza is the first prison camp with luxury shopping malls.) The British Foreign Office has been taking the blame for this betrayal of Israel, but they’re claiming they were as surprised as anyone. Now, a high-placed and knowledgeable source has informed me that it was Obama’s people who put the slamming of Israel into Cameron’s speech.
Cameron also said that “the Israeli attack on the Gaza flotilla was completely unacceptable.” He didn’t mention the ties of the Turkish-backed IHH “activists” on the flotilla to global jihad terror groups. He didn’t mention that the “activists” on the Turkish flotilla, the Mavi Marmara, were chanting, “Khaibar, Khaibar, O Jews, the army of Muhammad will return” – a chant that refers to Muhammad’s massacre of the Jews at the Arabian oasis of Khaibar.
And now we learn that it was the Obama camp that put Cameron up to this. It comes as no surprise. Obama himself termed Israel’s defensive action against the jihad flotilla “tragic.”
Just as Blair was Bush’s “puppy,” Cameron is Obama’s lapdog.

What did it take to rescue English socialism? A raid on banks
In a rare pause between published reports of the death of European welfare statism, U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron has revealed a breakthrough policy that could delay its demise for decades, if not centuries.
The issue is straightforward: now that the English have taxed and harassed citizens to a point where they see no point in going to work, where will the government get the money it needs to perpetuate cradle-to-the-grave social welfare benefits?
Cameron's answer: seize "dormant" bank accounts.
How long does an account have to remain untouched before it becomes dormant?
It doesn't matter. Let's say, to begin, an account has to remain undisturbed for 20 years before the government can seize it. If that doesn't produce enough government revenue after one month, the government can simply shorten the waiting period, time and again, until the seized accounts meet the government's demands.
Once the government starts seizing accounts after just five days of dormancy, there are bound to be repercussions. People will scream at government officials. Some may commit suicide.
Still, the government will hold the upper hand since it can always shorten the dormancy period even more.
The question here is, how many minutes will pass before a Democrat in Congress proposes that the U.S. government seize dormant bank accounts. I nominate Barney Frank for authorship of the bill.

Cameron creates huge new community investment fund by claiming "dormant" bank accounts; will the U.S. follow?
U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron announced plans to use “hundreds of millions of pounds” from dormant bank accounts to fund community projects, while Business Secretary Vince Cable said lenders “ripped off” customers.
Cameron said he will press ahead with a proposal set out in the coalition government’s program to establish a “Big Society Bank” to finance moves by charitable groups and not-for-profit companies to take over jobs currently done by the government.
“These unclaimed assets, alongside the private-sector investment that we will leverage, will mean that the Big Society Bank will over time make available hundreds of millions of pounds of new finance to some of the most dynamic social organizations in our country,” Cameron said in a speech in Liverpool, northwest England, today.
Cameron said the idea ties in with his plans for a general overhaul of the public services, as the government tries to narrow a record budget deficit. The new Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts that 490,000 public-sector jobs will be lost by April 2015.
“We’ve got to get rid of the centralized bureaucracy that wastes money and undermines morale,” Cameron said. “In its place, we’ve got to give professionals much more freedom and open up public services to new providers like charities, social enterprises and private companies so we get more innovation, diversity and responsiveness to public need.”
