SATANIC RIGHTS, NOT HUMAN RIGHTS – THE ABOLITION OF THE DEATH PENALTY & LIFE IMPRISONMENT IS SATAN’S IDEA!

VIOLET VAN DER ELST (4 JANUARY 1882 TO 30 APRIL 1966)



            50 years ago on this date, 30 April 1966, a British Anti-Death Penalty Activist passed away with a reduced fortune. 

  
Violet Van der Elst
(4 January 1882 Feltham - 30 April 1966 Ticehurst)

Violet Van der Elst (4 January 1882 Feltham - 30 April 1966 Ticehurst) is best remembered for her activities against the death penalty. She was born Violet Anne Dodge, the daughter of a coal porter and a washerwoman, she herself worked as a scullery maid. At age 17, she married Henry Arthur Nathan, a civil engineer 13 years her senior. She developed cosmetics including Shavex, the first brush-less shaving cream and became a successful businesswoman. After her first husband died on 15 November 1927, she married Jean Julien Romain Van der Elst, a Belgian who had been working for her as a manager but was also a painter.

Having amassed a huge personal fortune she purchased Harlaxton Manor, in Lincolnshire, England.

She gained publicity from her vocal campaigns against capital punishment, and stood three times, unsuccessfully, as a candidate to be an M.P.. She fought Putney at the 1935 General Election as an Independent, coming third. She fought Hornchurch at the 1945 General election as an Independent, coming fourth.

She wrote the book On the Gallows in 1937 as part of her efforts to eradicate the death penalty. In the same year she published a collection of 13 ghost stories, The Torture Chamber and Other Stories.

Her campaigning, her behaviour, and unsuccessful political career reduced her fortune, forcing her to sell her house and move to a flat in Knightsbridge, London, in 1959.

Largely forgotten, she died in a nursing home, her wealth reduced to some ₤ 15,000, having seen the abolition of capital punishment for murder in Britain the previous year.

In the 2005 film Pierrepoint, she is played by Ann Bell.

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS MERKEL! WELL DONE, WIDODO!



Let us give our thoughts about this meeting between German Chancellor, Angela Merkel and Indonesian President Joko Widodo.

BERLIN (AP) — Indonesia's president is defending his country's use of the death penalty for drug offenses, arguing that drug abuse constitutes an emergency.

Indonesia has extremely strict drug laws and more than 130 people on death row, mostly for drug crimes. Authorities recently said Indonesia is preparing to execute more foreigners convicted of drug offenses. Executions last year caused an international outcry.

President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo said Monday that "Indonesia currently has an emergency, above all in drug abuse." He said 30-50 people a day die in Indonesia because of drugs.

Jokowi said through an interpreter: "Implementation of the death penalty is carried out very cautiously."

He spoke after meeting German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who underlined Germany's opposition to capital punishment and its wish for Indonesia "not to implement it if possible."

Hundreds of students and other protesters carried signs that read slogans including 'Go to hell Abbott with your druggies' and 'Abbott love druggies, we hate druggies!' during the demonstration in Indonesia's capital

OUR THOUGHTS:
            Joko Widodo was one of the awardees of the Rayner Goddard Act of Courage Award, he defended the use of the death penalty. We, the comrades of Unit 1012, advise the Head of States to learn from Widodo on how he defended the use of capital punishment.

            We feel that people like Angela Merkel needs to go back home and take care of her own criminals in her backyard and the migrant crisis before lecturing others.
