Now Terry Jones pulls out.

It now appears that Dr Terry Jones will not be attending an event in the UK after all. It seems that following the EDL canceling his engagement and subsequent alterations to his international itinerary the UK will probably not feature in his list of engagements. It is also suspected that diplomatic representations to the US may have had some bearing on him ‘changing his mind’.

The BNP. What a bunch of chiseling schmucks

Can you believe these people?. Is there no end to their avarice nor their profligacy?. Is there no end to their lies and deceit?.

The latest begging letter states: "It's important that we have the help of specialists and professionals when we are being persecuted by the Political Class.

We have negotiated hard and prudently to keep costs as reasonable as possible.

On one occasion, Nick Griffin even represented himself in court, to keep costs down.

Now we have reached 'Judgement Day' and we need donations.

We have to field our legal team to argue about costs and to prepare in the event that we we need to appeal.

It is vital that we do not fall as this last hurdle. We need your help, urgently, and more than ever before.

Whatever you are able to contribute to fund our legal team with a gift of £5, £20, £50, £100 or even £500, it will help towards meeting this essential goal. Every pound counts!

Activists from all over our country, including pensioners with limited means and people who will be taking time off work and losing income, will be there to support Nick Griffin, Simon Darby and Tanya Lumby who have been persecuted as representatives of all of us. We really do need you to come and join the demonstration on the day, but if you can´t come please send a donation instead.

Please send your most generous gift in before Friday. It is really crucial to set the wheels in motion immediately."

There is NOTHING remotely connected to nationalism or activism at the BNP or in any of their outpourings. It's just more and more whining appeals for more and more of YOUR hard earned cash. If they are so desperate for money let them do what the rest of us have to do and go get a job and earn it.

Do yourself, your wallet and everyone else a huge favour and tell those grubbing Gri££inite shysters at the BNP to FUCK OFF !!!.

National Front invites Terry Jones as EDL backs down

Andy Gray, East Mildands NF organizer has announced that following the utter cave in by the EDL and the withdrawal of their invitation to Pastor Terry Jones of the American Dove Outreach ministry to address an EDL event planned in Luton, the National Front have stepped into the gap and openly invited Jones to attend an event to be organized by the NF instead.

Details and confirmation pending.

Update: Dr Jones has accepted the invitation from the National Front. Arrangements will now be made so that things can go ahead in the unlikely event that he is actually allowed to enter the UK.

Israel Would Exterminate Europe

Noted Israeli military historian Martin van Creveld stated that Israel could find itself one day forced to exterminate the European continent using all kinds of weapons including its nuclear arsenal if it felt its demise neared, stressing that Israel also considers Europe a hostile target.

This came in a press interview broadcast by the seventh Hebrew radio and was translated on Wednesday into Arabic by the press information analysis and study center.

“We have hundreds of nuclear warheads and missiles that can reach different targets in the heart of the European continent, including beyond the borders of Rome, the Italian capital,” Creveld said, adding that most of the European capitals would become preferred targets for the Israeli air force.

The Israeli historian reiterated Israel’s ability to destroy the whole world whenever it felt its existence would be doomed to extinction.

As for the Palestinians, the historian said that Israel at the present time pursues a specific strategy based on mass deportation of the Palestinian people and has intentions to expel all Palestinians without exception, but it is awaiting the right moment to take this step.

“Two years ago, there was only seven to eight percent of the Israelis believing in this solution towards the Palestinians and just two months ago this percentage rose amongst the Israelis to 33 percent, but today, according to a survey conducted by Gallup institute, this figure surged to 55 percent,” he noted.

The historian highlighted that Israel must take advantage of any incident that would give it a golden opportunity to expel the Palestinians as happened in Deir Yassin massacre in 1948.

Replying to a question whether Israel does not have fears of being classified as a criminal state if it expelled Palestinians, he said, “Israel is a state that does not care about what others say about it and you must remember the saying of former defense minister Moshe Dayan when he said that ‘Israel must always act as a wild dog because it should be dangerous in the eyes of others, rather than be harmed.’”

Large Cracks found in Auckland brothel !!!

An inner city Auckland (NZ) building destined to be a brothel has been cordoned off after large cracks were found in the walls this afternoon, and parts of the building may have to be pulled down.

Council engineers and a surveyor were inspecting the Palace Hotel, formerly known as the Aurora Tavern, after a member of the public noticed the cracks about 4pm. The building opposite the Sky Tower had been bought to be converted into a brothel.

"There was some sort of restoration underway, and that was its planned use I believe," Auckland Council spokesman Glyn Walters said. The original building, built in 1886, appeared to be sound but the cracks were in two annexes, added in 1889 and 1912.

Both those annexes were showing signs of serious cracking, and a decision would be made early this evening about whether to demolish them, Mr Walters said. "While it's a tragedy to lose parts of a listed building, health and safety of people around it come first."

Victoria Street West, between Hobson and Albert, had been cordoned off. Nearby shops were evacuated. Police were advising motorists to avoid the area or face long delays. The cordon was put in place as city traffic began to build to a peak after the close of the business day. Several hundred people gathered to watch the activities.

Yet another SAS commander quits as cuts hit moralle

Following on from the story we featured in November 2008 concerning the resignation of SAS Chief, Major Sebastian Morley. We now reflect an excerpt from a recent UK Telegraph story concerning further resignations from the armed forces in general, and the SAS in particular. As morale sinks to an all time low, we see cost cutting further undermine the armed forces ability to fulfill their obligations to both Britain and to those brave men and women who serve.

"A highly decorated senior SAS commander, who masterminded a deadly campaign against the Taliban, has resigned from the Army amid claims that defence cuts are hitting morale.

Friends of the colonel, who cannot be named for security reasons, said he had grown increasingly despondent with service life following the cuts imposed on the military by the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR).

It is understood that two highly respected Brigadiers, one of whom also served with the Special Forces, are considering their positions.

Senior officers have warned that many more high calibre officers are expected to resign in the coming months especially if the Continuity of Education Allowance – which pays for a proportion of boarding school fees for service families – is cut.

During the SDSR process one of the few themes which united the views of the defence chiefs was their joint dismay at the threat to cut the allowance. Defence sources have also told The Sunday Telegraph that the SAS officer, who won a top military award while commanding special forces in southern Afghanistan, resigned because he felt the family sacrifices demanded by the Army had grown too great. [...].

One colleague said: "There is a lot of dissatisfaction within the Army at the way in which the SDSR was handled and it seems he has simply had enough and wants to do something new. He is a rather aloof and quiet individual and did not discuss his resignation with anyone."

The colonel won huge praise from both British and US generals after creating a new covert Task Force that has struck a series of devastating blows against the Taliban command structure.

Under a new strategy, the SF Task Force began targeting insurgent commanders in operations the success of which has led to commanders referring to them as "harvesting the Taliban".

The colonel was due to attend the Higher Command and Staff Course, which is reserved for those officers expected to reach the upper echelons of the Army. [...].

His departure follows that of Brigadier Ed Butler and Lt Col Richard Williams, who were both SAS commanders and regarded as two of the most brilliant officers of their generation.

One officer of General rank, who asked not to be named, said Ministry of Defence civil servants who "only did money" were undermining morale in the Army.

He said: "Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA) is vital ground for the Army. Following SDSR it has been tinkered with in order to save some money. As a consequence some officers are already leaving.[...].

"The Army staff college has seen a steep reduction in the number of majors requesting to extend their commissions.

"The Army's future depends on these men and women and we can't afford to lose them – this is one of the unintended consequences of the SDSR."

The officer, who has served in the army for more than 25-years added that he would also consider his position if the 'balance of support became unsustainable" for his family".[...]".

Jew Miliband used taxpayer money to win Tamil votes in Britain

Would-be Labour Party leader and former Foreign Secretary David Miliband diverted taxpayer-funded foreign aid to Sri Lanka in order to win votes for his party from the Tamil community in Britain, the latest Wikileaks US-cable scandal has revealed.

The shocking display of rampant corruption and abuse of power was revealed to a US embassy worker in London, who then relayed it in a cable sent to the American state department for evaluation.

In the cable, released by Wikileaks, Tim Waite, a Foreign Office team leader on Sri Lanka, was quoted as explaining why Mr Miliband appeared to be so interested in events in Sri Lanka.

“Waite said that much of (the government) and ministerial attention to Sri Lanka is due to the ‘very vocal’ Tamil diaspora in the UK, numbering over 300,000, who have been protesting in front of parliament since 6 April,” Richard Mills, a political officer at the US Embassy in London, wrote in the cable.

“He said that with UK elections on the horizon and many Tamils living in Labour constituencies with slim majorities, the government is paying particular attention to Sri Lanka, with Miliband recently remarking to Waite that he was spending 60 per cent of his time at the moment on Sri Lanka.”

* According to the Department for International Development, Sri Lanka is a “middle income country” and the department’s bilateral “programme in the country closed in 2006 when Sri Lanka graduated to middle income status.” “However, DFID still contributes to Sri Lanka through the Conflict Prevention Fund which totalled £2 million in 2010/11.”

This is not the full picture, as the DFID website freely admitted: “The end of the [Tamil Tiger] conflict in May 2009 created almost 280,00 internally displaced people (IDPs). The majority of these remained detained in camps in the north of Sri Lanka until October 2009 when the Government started a ‘crash’ returns programme to return them to their homes.

“In response to needs on the ground, DFID has committed £13.5 million of humanitarian funding to Sri Lanka since September 2008.”

David Miliband diverted taxpayer money for votes.

Were you aware that according to English LAW, this creatures very presence in Britain is a crime, just as it is for him to hold any position of office?. Yet he subverts and corrupts our political process using our own money with apparent impunity.

Miliband and his ilk should be removed with all possible dispatch, and the whole foreign aid swindle, which is set to cost the British taxpayer tens of billions over the next decade shut down immediately

US Government seizure of the internet has begun

As part of a new expansion of government power over information, the Department of Homeland Security has begun seizing and shutting down internet websites (web domains) without due process or a proper trial. DHS simply seizes web domains that it wants to and posts an ominous "Department of Justice" logo on the web site. See an example at http://torrent-finder.com

Over 75 websites were seized and shut down last week, and there is no indication that the government will stop such efforts. Right now, their focus is websites that they claim "violate copyrights," yet the torrent-finder.com website that was seized by DHS contained no copyrighted content whatsoever. It was merely a search engine website that linked to destinations where people could access copyrighted content. Google also links to copyrighted content -- does that mean the feds will soon seize Google, too?

These seizures were conducted on the basis of language in the DMCA law, which is vastly overreaching in its powers (it was passed to appease the music recording industry and the RIAA). Even so, the U.S. Senate is right now considering passing yet another law -- COICA -- the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/11/...), a new law that would give the federal government even more power to shut down websites it opposed.

Facing Life in Prison for Posting 7/7 DVD?

The Supreme Court of Ireland ordered Anthony John Hill, 62, also known by supporters as “Muad’Dib” the producer of the “7/7 Ripple Effect” documentary, to be remanded back into custody pending immediate extradition from Ireland to the United Kingdom for posting copies of his film to a UK courthouse.

It is alleged that Mr. Hill “intended to pervert the course of justice” by sending copies of his documentary film, “7/7 Ripple Effect”, to a UK courthouse, requesting that the court administrators deliver the DVDs to the judge and jury foreman in a case related to three men accused of helping plan the 2005 London tube-train bombings. All three men have since been found not guilty on those charges. However, as a result of posting the DVDs, Mr. Hill now faces extradition and a possible life sentence in the UK.

The documentary itself has found wide-spread support from around the world by highlighting irregularities in the government’s official report of what transpired on 7/7, 2005, causing many people to question the integrity of the government’s original story.

Members of the public regularly send information to courthouses either anonymously, or as an identifiable amicus curiae (“friend of the court”), when they believe they have information vital to a particular proceeding. For this reason, Mr. Hill believes that it is due to the mainstream success of his film, and the resulting embarrassment caused to the Crown by requiring them to change their official story, that he’s now being unfairly and maliciously prosecuted for political reasons.

Prior to the Supreme Court hearing, Mr. Hill stated, “They have absolutely no case.” He has asserted that the prosecutor and judge were committing perjury and that he was striving to prevent them from perverting the course of justice. As a result of his persistent activism, the prosecution services appear to have gone out of their way to charge him with the crime he says they were committing. Mr. Hill has told friends that because he won’t “play ball” with them, they are now “hitting (him) with the BAR.”

His use of the word “BAR” refers to the worldwide legal fraternity, the “British Accredited Registry”, of which most lawyers and judges in a number of first-world nations are members.

Supporters plan to hold rallies in a showing of solidarity with Mr. Hill’s efforts, though it is currently unknown which court Mr. Hill will appear before, or when, as the extradition process is still being carried out.

“7/7 Ripple Effect” will be shown on Sky channel 201 (The Showcase Channel), and Freesat 403, on 26th November 2010 at 7:00pm. The documentary can be watched at any time online from either GoogleVideo or YouTube by doing keyword searches for it. Google video link: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8756795263359807776

What a damned shame...

Emma Colgate has quit the BNP and will now sit as an independent. An article in The Enquirer states:

"After a lengthy absence from public appearances relating to her council duties, councillor Emma Colgate (right) returned to Thurrock Council’s chamber on Wednesday evening. Her only contribution to the meeting was to second a motion calling for a five per cent voluntary cut in the wages of the authority’s senior officers and she didn’t make any announcement about her change of political affiliation.

However, before the meeting she circulated a letter to the press, announcing she was quitting the BNP – even though she stood by its core principles.

Her statement said: ““It is with deep sadness that I have to inform you that I have resigned my party whip with immediate effect and will be an independent councillor.

“I have been unhappy with the leadership of the BNP for some time and I feel the direction the current leadership are taking is not in the interest of the public.

“I still stand true to the core values of the BNP and believe it has many good members and supporters but I feel I am no longer able to represent an organisation that is falling apart due to mismanagement.

“If the current leadership changed hands I would be more than happy to return.

“I do not feel it is correct to resign my position completely as I only have five months of my term remaining and to force a by-election would be an unnecessary financial burden. I will continue to represent the same values and policies that I was elected under.”

There has been much local speculation about the political future of Miss Colgate in recent times. Earlier this year she stepped down from her position as British National Party staff manager, saying she wanted to concentrate fully on fighting the Thurrock Parliamentary seat for the party in the General Election.

At the time Mr Griffin thanked Ms Colgate for “all her hard work and loyalty. I look forward to seeing her make even more progress in her political role as an outstanding BNP councillor and beyond.” But it was widely reported that there were deep rifts between Miss Colgate and other senior members of the BNP with Mr Griffin.

Locally, since being well beaten in the general election, her profile has been low. Wednesday’s appearance in the chamber for a full council meeting was the first time since June 30 that she had turned up – and her ability to claim her allowance for council duties was in jeopardy had she not turned up for the November council meeting.

It has been reported that several months of mail from constituents are unopened at the council offices, her voicemail is full and e-mails bounce back. Concern has been expressed within her ward that she failed to turn up to the recent Tilbury remembrance service.

Though she didn’t make any announcement of her change of affiliation at the meeting, the Council’s Democratic Services department confirmed they had been informed."

NINE pensioners EVERY HOUR died from cold last year

Nine elderly people died every hour from cold-related illnesses last winter against a background of soaring energy bills. Official figures show the number of deaths linked to cold over the four-month period reached 25,400 in England and Wales, plus 2,760 in Scotland.

Charities and energy company critics claim the UK has the highest winter death rate in northern Europe, even worse than much colder countries such as Finland and Sweden. More than 300,000 UK pensioners have died of cold related illnesses since 1997.

There are fears the toll could rise this year following a recent barrage of price rises that may frighten elderly people into not turning on their heating. 'The simple fact that the UK has one of the highest winter mortality rates in Europe – higher than even Sweden or Finland – makes it clear this is very much a home-grown problem. 'These are avoidable deaths due not just to the cold weather in itself but to the country’s inability to meet the challenge of dropping temperatures.'

'The elderly, and those who are ill, are particularly vulnerable during cold weather. 'We all have a role to play in remembering the needs of friends, relatives and neighbours who could be at risk especially at this time of year.’ ‘Those most at risk to the effects of cold weather must not have to make a choice over whether to heat their homes or end up ill and in debt to their energy supplier.’

Yes to ‘heat’ or ‘eat’ that can be the choice of many of our elderly citizens and that is disgraceful in this day and age. Yet the government ring fences foreign aid and manages to find £7bn of our money to bail out a foreign country whose financial troubles are down to the Euro and greedy reckless bankers, in other words its own fault.
Where is the foreign aid for our poor and vulnerable, if there was a third world country where it was known that over 25,000 of their citizens were going to die our TV’s would be full of appeals for donations.

Charity must begin at home we owe that much to our senior citizens at least, after all they have paid into the system for decades have they not? Unlike asylum seekers and immigrants that seem to ‘walk’ into the country and get hand-outs for free. This is a national disgrace and I don’t know how politicians can sleep at night.

West Yorkshire MP's back Asian paedophile

A businessman who sexually assaulted Leeds teenage girls after plying them with cannabis, cigarettes and booze has been jailed. Gulam Bobat, 64, also handed over cash to the vulnerable girls aged between 13 and 15 to get them into his car. The hardware store boss and property owner may even have handed over £6,000 to one of his victims.

Bobat was jailed for 12 months yesterday after pleading guilty to six counts of sexual assault and one of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. Leeds Crown Court heard how he preyed on the girls in West Leeds over a three-year period and became well known in the area.

Mr Nicholas Askins, prosecuting, described how the assaults were limited to Bobat, of Princess Street, Batley kissing his victims or touching their legs over their clothing but the grandfather had accepted that his actions were sexually motivated.

On one occasion he took one of his victims and her friends to McDonalds before giving them cannabis. He would also phone some of the girls to try to get them to meet him. A 13-year-old who he gave the drug to became addicted to it and had a nervous break down as a result. Police found him in possession of seven mobile phone sim cards when they arrested him.

The Recorder of Leeds, Judge Peter Collier, was shown letters written on his behalf from West Yorkshire MPs Greg Mulholland and Mike Wood as well as his local Imam. Judge Collier also ordered Bobat to sign the sex offenders' register for 10 years.

Yes West Yorkshire MP Greg Mulholland ( Limp/Dem info@gregmulholland.org ) and MP Mike Wood LIEbour ( woodm@parliament.uk ) actually wrote letters to the court in support of Bobat.

I’ll say that a different way shall I? Two British elected Members of parliament actually wrote letters to a court in ‘support’ of an Asian paedophile who had preyed upon our underage female children over a three-year period as he plied these vulnerable children with drink, drugs, cigarettes and cash.

I have written to both of them expressing my total disgust at their actions and calling for them to consider their positions. Using the email addresses supplied above I beg you to please do the same.

Nonces to the left of us, nonces to the right of us, nonces in the midst of us.

In this brief excerpt from the MRG conference in 2007, Greg Lance-Watkins lifts the lid slightly on the institutional paedophilia endemic in the UK establishment from the top down. I must add that Greg Lance-Watkins is pro immigration and rabidly opposed to racial nationalism. This is most unfortunate, since his dedication to exposing corruption in public office and anti EU commitment is unquestionable.

Ukrainian nationlists make further significant gains.

Experts notice growing electoral support to the All-Ukrainian Union Svoboda party, judging from results of the local elections, they have announced in the press center of Ukrainian News agency at a press club meeting, entitled "PRavda about local elections in Ukraine."

"The Svoboda party has seriously fortified its position Even, putting it mildly, in a region such a not usually so nationalistic as Kharkiv where they marginally missed the local council."

"Their best results were in Lviv, Ivano-Frankiuvsk and Ternopil, where they gained over 30 percent of the votes cast, making them the strongest party in these areas."

http://www.un.ua/eng/article/295744.html

With nationalist parties seeing a massive upsurge in support across Europe, the latest being the Svoboda in the Ukraine polling over 30 per cent making them the strongest party in some areas, it does really beg the question given the alleged growth in nationalist feeling in Britain, why the BNP fell off the map in the May 2010 elections.

Those BNP begging letters

The BNP is insolvent and legal proceedings have commenced to determine the party's liabilities and discharge it's debts, which we are told are in excess of half a million pounds. This could mean the party being wound up and it's assets disbursed among it's creditors by mutual agreement with the liquidators as payment of debt or in lieu or part payment thereof.

This means effectively that any money going into the party from donors legally belongs first and foremost to the party's creditors. Gri££in and his lackeys must know that to tout for donations on the premise that the money is for fighting the EHRC case is tantamount to fraud and obtaining money by deception not to mention defrauding creditors. In fact, to continue to trade in the knowledge that you are insolvent and unable to pay your bills when they become due is a criminal offence.

Similarly, to seek donations for a cause knowing that lawfully that money cannot be used for that purpose without dishonour and without revealing those facts and the true purpose for which the money is to be put to the donor is also a crime.

At least this is how things used to be when we still had a rule of law in this country, yet no one seems in the least interested. You would think that at the very least the Inland Revenue would like to have a poke around.

Do You Want Fries With Your Dimethylpolysiloxane or Butylhydroquinone?.

Frying chicken is fairly simple, if a little messy. You dip pieces of chicken into a mix of egg and milk, roll them around in flour and spices, then cook the chicken in sizzling hot oil until the pieces are brown, crispy and delicious.

But wait! Don’t forget to add a dash of dimethylpolysiloxane, an anti-foaming agent made of silicone that is also used in Silly Putty and cosmetics.

Now add a heaping spoonful of tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), which is a chemical preservative and a form of butane (AKA lighter fluid). One gram of TBHQ can cause “nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, delirium, a sense of suffocation, and collapse," according to A Consumer’s Dictionary of Food Additives. Five grams of TBHQ can kill you.

Sprinkle on thirteen other corn-derived ingredients, and you're only about twenty shy as many ingredients as a single chicken nugget from McDonald’s. And you were using pulverized chicken skin and mechanically reclaimed meat for your chicken, right?

No one in his or her right mind would cook chicken like this. Yet every day, hoards of Americans consume these ingredients in Chicken McNuggets, which McDonalds claims are “made with white meat, wrapped up in a crisp tempura batter.”

However chicken only accounts for about 50% of a Chicken McNugget. The other 50% includes a large percentage of corn derivatives, sugars, leavening agents and other completely synthetic ingredients, meaning that parts of the nugget do not come from a field or farm at all. They come from a petroleum plant. Hungry?

Scariest perhaps is the fact that this recipe is a new and improved, “healthier” Chicken McNugget launched in 2003 after a federal judge called the deep-fried poultry bites “a McFrankenstein creation of various elements not utilized by the home cook.” Also terrifying is the fact that these McFrankenuggets are overwhelmingly marketed to children who love their fun shapes and kid-friendly size.

While McDonald’s is of course the poster child for fast food ire, if you look at the nutritional information for chicken at any fast food restaurant, the ingredient list will be dozens of items longer than the egg, flour, chicken and oil recipe you might use at home.

Eating fast food is a habit, but it is one that you can break? No doubt you rarely plan to have a delicious meal at Arby’s for dinner, a lingering lunch at Carl’s Jr. or a special breakfast at the Burger King in the airport. It just happens. You are late, tired, hungry, broke, or all of the above. You have no time, and you must find something to eat before you crash. All of a sudden a bright, friendly sign beckons from the side of the road: Drive-through!

In five minutes you are happily chowing down on an inexpensive, filling meal. But don’t be fooled – the true cost of fast food does not come out of your wallet, but out of your body, your health, and your years on this earth.

You can break the unhealthy fast food habit: educate yourself about the true ingredients of fast food items, plan ahead for your meals, carry healthy snacks like nuts to ward off hunger and cook healthy chicken recipes at home. Convince yourself that fast food is the most disgusting stuff on the planet and is harmful to you and to those you love. After reading this, that shouldn’t be too hard.

Full ingredient list for a Chicken McNugget (from McDonald’s US website):

White boneless chicken, water, food starch-modified, salt, seasoning (autolyzed yeast extract, salt, wheat starch, natural flavoring (botanical source), safflower oil, dextrose, citric acid, rosemary), sodium phosphates, seasoning (canola oil, mono- and diglycerides, extractives of rosemary). Battered and breaded with: water, enriched flour (bleached wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), yellow corn flour, food starch-modified, salt, leavening (baking soda, sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcium phosphate, calcium lactate), spices, wheat starch, whey, corn starch. Prepared in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness). Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent.
