President Obama Fires The Starting Gun

With a tendentious, sneering speech in Cleveland this week, President Obama launched the fall campaign.The president who never stops campaigning even when he is denouncing the permanent campaign has only one way to actually signal to his dwindling troops that he is summoning them to a particularly important political battle.

When Barack Obama gets serious, he personalizes the attack and he raises the volume.So the president went to the shore of Lake Erie to attack GOP House Leader John Boehner, whom the president rightly fears is close to becoming the new House Speaker, and thus his principal rival for the next two years.Boehner is an enormous threat to Obama because if Obama can lose the House, he can lose the presidency.If Obama fails to rally his troops one time, the alleged magic is gone.If Boehner beats Obama, the Obama-Carter comparison grows more and more compelling.So all rhetorical barrels were leveled at Boehner, and when the president was finished…John Boehner didn’t have a scratch on him.

In fact the Democratic troops not only did not rally to the flag, they ran farther and faster from Obama.

FACT CHECK: Obama’s tone shifts on health care AP Reams Hussein for Lying Alert

President Barack Obama told voters repeatedly during the health care debate that the overhaul legislation would bring down fast-rising health care costs and save them money. Now, he’s hemming and hawing on that.

So far, the law he signed earlier this year hasn’t had the desired effect. An analysis from Medicare‘s Office of the Actuary this week said that the nation’s health care tab will go up — not down — through 2019 as a result of Obama’s sweeping law, though the increase is modest.

Obama offered some caveats when asked in his news conference Friday about the apparent discrepancy between what he promised and what’s actually happening so far. On several other topics, too, his rhetoric fell short of a full accounting.___

Hostage release; Good News or Sleight of Hand?

Here is an example of sleight of hand on an international scale in a matter of hours.

The Good News MisdirectionThursday Iran announced it will free Sarah Shourd today. Sarah was one of the three American hikers arrested when they accidently strayed in to Iran July 2009. They were accused of being spies. The official story states “It is traditional in Iran to release prisoners as a gesture of clemency to mark the close of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, which ends this week.” This is wonderful news for Shourd’s family and the America, but we must not forget Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal who are still being held captive.American Officials have expressed concerns that the trio would be used as leverage in negotiations to curtail Iran’s nuclear ambitions.What has been Palmed HiddenSakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani a 43 year old Iranian mother of two children has been facing death by stoning on charges of adultery.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry announced the lifting of the death sentence to distract criticism from human rights groups and foreign governments. Teheran has taken a new tact and declared her a murderer in order to re-sentence her to a death by hanging.

The Iran Policy Committee group hosted a press conference in Washington D.C. Thursday to announce that the Mujahedeen Khalq MEK, an Iranian resistance group, presented evidence that the Iranian regime has been secretly developing a nuclear enrichment site in Qazvin since 2005, According to the MEK the facility is about 85% complete and currently non operational. It is not known whether or not centrifuges have been installed at the facilities. A centrifuge is the key component used to enrich Uranium to either reactor fuel or weapons grade.

IS HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF?

by Robert C. Laity

King George III was king of Great Britain and Ireland from 1760 to 1801Sept. 11, 2010 — King George III was ruler of England. King George expanded the British empire and refused to negotiate with England’s colonies. King George was considered “mad.” He had several bouts of psychological instability and episodes of erratic behavior. This led the colonies to seek separation from England, and the colonies declared independence from England in 1776.Current science has researched King George’s behavior. Hair samples of his hair have established that arsenic was present.

He is thought to have been suffering from Porphyria. Ironically, arsenic was used by King George’s physicians to treat him. Regardless, his behavior towards the colonies made it necessary to secede from England. King George is historically cited as the “King who lost the colonies.” The colonists did not believe that their actions were for “light and transient causes;” their grievances were quite serious. Citing a “long train of abuses and usurpations” which were intended to place them under the thumb of tyranny,they cited their right, indeed, their duty to “throw off such government.”

“The history of the present” fraudulent President of the United States “is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations” whose “Object” is a “New World Order,” the surrendering of United States Sovereignty, the establishment of Islam, the denial of information necessary for an informed populace CertifiGate, the usurpation by fraud and prevarication of our highest office, the collaboration with others to dismantle our democratic republic, the raiding of our treasury and the participation in sharia “Zakat,” thereby aiding and abetting our enemies ordering soldiers in Afghanistan not to shoot back at the Taliban, complicity in crimes against humanity the Odinga affair, ignoring the Constitution; indeed, evading it.

Ironically, there are observations from prominent experts that Barack Obama may also be suffering from mental illness.

David Petraeus And The Koran Burnings

David Petraeus is right.

That church burning the korans in Florida will incite muslims to kill Americans, particularly American soldiers.Why? Well, in part, because David Petraeus and the media have decided to magnify the event and guarantee it’ll be featured on the front page of every major newspaper in the Middle East.Ramzy Kilic of the Council on American-Islamic Relations surprisingly sounds wisest here:

“He just wants to provoke the Muslim community,” he said.

“Why give him attention? No one pays attention to the drunkard walking down the street.”Let’s not, however, be fooled by the thinking that this act will incite Islamists in some special way. If Islamists did not have koran burnings to incite them to kill Americans, they would just find something else.

Heck, they may go back to soldiers in Iraq using the koran for target practice. I think it is bad form for the military to start applying pressure to influence the political activities and this is clearly a form of political speech of American civilians. Petraeus is essentially attributing direct responsibility for American deaths to the activities of American citizens and I hasten to point out that he made no similar public pronouncement about the activities of antiwar demonstrators who, at least arguably, caused American deaths by giving the jihadis reason to believe they could drive us out of Iraq given enough casualties.

Ultimately, this issue is not about tolerance of Islam, but about fear of Islam.

(Gunny G: An Explanation of Militias Vs. A Standing Army…)
***** ***** *****

EXCERPT
Terry Anderson and Fred McChesney relate how Thomas Jefferson found that during his time negotiation was the Europeans’ predominant means of acquiring land from Indians (1994, 56). By the twentieth century, some $800 million had been paid for Indian lands. These authors also argue that various factors can alter the incentives for trade, as opposed to waging a war of conquest as a means of acquiring land.

One of the most important factors is the existence of a standing army, as opposed to militias, which were used in the American West prior to the War Between the States.

On this point, Anderson and McChesney quote Adam Smith, who wrote that “‘[i]n a militia, the character of the labourer, artificer, or tradesman, predominates over that of the soldier: in a standing army, that of the soldier predominates over every other character.’”.

A standing army, according to Anderson and McChesney, “creates a class of professional soldiers whose personal welfare increases with warfare, even if fighting is a negative-sum act for the population as a whole.”

The change from militia to a standing army took place in the American West immediately upon the conclusion of the War Between the States.

With 9/11 in mind, American Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr

As the early morning sun steamed through glass skylights, hundreds of Muslim men, women, and children gathered at a cavernous indoor track in New Haven, Connecticut, to celebrate the end of Ramadan.Outside the service, Rashad Abdul-Hakim says the swirling animosities confronting Muslims in recent weeks did little to dampen his Eid enthusiasm.“This is a blessed day,” Mr. Abdul-Hakim says.A convert to Islam since 1991, Abdul-Hakim, who is black, says he planned to proceed with low-key celebrations because the recent cultural flare-ups would soon pass. “I remember when my mom came home after there was some civil unrest, and she had been beaten up…divisions like that just aren’t accepted anymore.”The prayer service signaled the beginning of Eid al-Fatir, one of the most important dates on the Islamic calendar. This year, Eid, which follows the lunar calendar, began on September 10. Though many American Muslims celebrate the holiday for only one day, the holiday lasts for three, awkwardly straddling the September 11 anniversary in a year of heightened political rancor.Excerpt Read more at csmonitor.com …

Have we learned anything in 9 years? Not much

What have we learned in the nine years since history’s most devastating attack on America by Islamic terrorists?Not much.

We’re still involved in two seemingly endless wars half-way around the world that don’t seem to have any coherent objectives or definitions of victory.Meanwhile, back home where the attack took place, we’re planning to allow a Muslim Brotherhood front group to build a victory mosque.The attack of Sept. 11, 2001, remains a dark cloud in America’s history with no silver lining – no awakening to the dangers we face from future subversion by the enemy responsible.It is as if Americans have a collective case of Stockholm Syndrome. Too many of us have become sympathetic to our enemy, the one that killed 3,000 of us and made the rest of us weep.

Who would have believed that only seven years after that attack Americans would elect a president raised abroad as a Muslim, bearing a Muslim name and apparently in love with all things Islamic?It would have been inconceivable. Only when he bankrupted and humiliated the country did Americans begin to wise up.The mosque at Ground Zero represents the tip of the iceberg in terms of a long-term threat to the security of this nation.

New mosques are springing up all over America – most of them funded by foreign money and controlled by the hideous ideology that form the basis for the attack of 9/11.

We’re all still screened at airports to prevent yesterday’s attack – often by Muslims wearing burkas!Islam is now taught as a religion of peace in our schools, despite 1,300 years of history to the contrary.Our media are full of accounts of an imaginary bigotry called Islamophobia.

War story: US vet who caught Japan’s Tojo speaks

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. —

John J. Wilpers Jr. went decades without publicly revealing details about his international headline-making exploits at the end of World War II, a string of silence befitting a former Army intelligence officer-turned-career CIA employee.It took the belated awarding of a Bronze Star to the upstate New York native to finally loosen the lips of the man credited with preventing former Japanese prime minister Hideki Tojo from committing suicide on Sept. 11, 1945, nine days after Japan officially surrendered.

Tojo was eventually put on trial for war crimes and executed in 1948.”I never wanted it in the first place,” Wilpers, 90, said of the attention he received after capturing Tojo and again earlier this year when he finally received the medal.

OBAMA THE MUSLIM
WebToday ^ | 9-11-10 | Maj. General Jerry Curry, U.S. Army ret.

Posted on Saturday, September 11, 2010 7:52:47 AM by geraldmcg

The following editorial is written by U.S. Major General Jerry Curry, who enlisted in the army during to fight in The Korean War at age 17, served two terms in Vietnam and climbed to the rank of General and become Press Secretary to the Secretary of Defense, Casper Weinberger, in the Reagan administration, and was appointed to the position of the Administrator of the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administrationin in the Bush Sr. administration.

OBAMA THE MUSLIM By Maj. General Jerry Curry (U.S. Army ret.)

My mother believed in “common sense” testing. She said if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, waddles like a duck and acts like a duck; it’s a duck. She believed that actions speak louder than words and that only a liar said one thing and then did the opposite.

Would President Obama pass my mother’s “is he a Muslim” test? Let’s see. President Obama says there is nothing more beautiful than the Muslim call to prayer in the evening. He says that the United States was not founded as a Christian nation.

Obama’s father and step father were Muslims and he spent his childhood living in a Muslim country where his school enrollment records say his religion is Islam. As President of the United States he genuflects to the Muslim King of Saudi Arabia but not the Christian Queen of England. He thumbs his nose at America’s friends and bows to its enemies. In short, Obama quacks like a Muslim, waddles like a Muslim and acts like a Muslim, so is he a Muslim? My mother would say, “Yes! He’s a Muslim through and through.”

Growing up as a Muslim, Obama must have learned that according to the Qur’an it is acceptable to lie, deceive and live by a double standard provided in so doing one advances Islamic goals. Muslims only pretend to trust and be friends with non-Muslims; in the deepest of their Muslim hearts they have been taught that all non-Muslims are infidels.

Terry Jones

The U.S. Department of State has issued a travel alert warning American citizens abroad of potential violence from anti-U.S. demonstrators reacting to plans by a Florida pastor to publicly burn Islam‘s holy book, the Quran.

“Demonstrations, some violent, have already taken place in several countries, including Afghanistan and Indonesia, in response to media reports of the church’s plans,” the alert states. “The potential for further protests and demonstrations, some of which may turn violent, remains high.”

The “International Burn a Quran Day” announced by Rev. Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center of Gainesville, Fla., has stirred up an international hornet’s nest of government response.

Read about Islam from those who lived it, in “Why We Left Islam.”

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the Quran burning “disgraceful;” America’s top commander in Afghanistan, Gen. David Petraeus, warned it could “endanger troops;” Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki urged the U.S. to prevent the burning; India’s home minister condemned it; Pakistan’s ambassador to the U.S. called upon radio host Glenn Beck to denounce it; an FBI intelligence bulletin warned of retaliation; and even the Vatican declared the Sept. 11 Quran-burning plan to be an “outrageous and grave gesture.”

President Obama also chimed in, telling George Stephanopoulos on ABC that the Quran burning “is completely contrary to our values as Americans” and that “this stunt that [Jones] is talking about pulling could greatly endanger our young men and women in uniform.” Obama also labeled the event a “recruitment bonanza for al-Qaida.”

Despite the travel alert, however, and despite a media firestorm of controversy and opposition to the Quran burning, a number of other churches and organizations have announced plans to burn the Islamic holy book on the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

(Story continues below)

Duncan Philp, founder of the Wyoming Tyranny Response Team, told the Wyoming Tribune Eagle his protest group – which he describes as defenders of the Bill of Rights – plans to burn a copy of the Quran on the steps of the State Capitol tomorrow to protest Obama’s defense of plans to build a proposed mosque and Islamic Center near Ground Zero in New York City.

“I feel Obama is being disingenuous when he pretends he supports religious liberties,” Philp told the paper. “‘[The Muslims] are not building that mosque out of love for my culture or love of the victims of 9/11 but for political reasons.”

Former Pastor Bob Old of Springfield, Tenn., has also announced plans to burn the Quran tomorrow, but he told WTVF-TV in Nashville that his action is unrelated to Jones’ agenda.

“To the Muslim church I would say the reason I am doing [this is] because I believe they worship a false god,” Old told the station. “They have a false text, a false prophet and a false scripture.”

Old also dismissed charges that burning the Quran is necessarily hateful, as some have argued.

“How can it be an act of hate when what I am doing is trying to save their souls?” he asked.

There also were several others who suggested they might stage such a stunt.

Earlier this week, however, Jones announced he agreed to cancel the burning upon receiving word the organizers of the so-called Ground Zero Mosque had agreed to move their proposed cultural center’s location.

But when Jones’ alleged deal was refuted publicly, the pastor then announced the Quran burning wasn’t canceled, but only suspended.

Handling the Truth

Who will be the first mainstream personality of either party to come out and say that the destruction of the American economy and, therefore, America herself has been the entire purpose of the Obama Administration and the leading lights in the Democrat Party from the beginning?

That some are confused about the Administration’s strategy speaks merely to the inability to accept a hard and distasteful truth: that the majority of voters elected a man as POTUS who has this country’s demise at heart and who has repeatedly demonstrated this in word, deed and associations well before the election.

Around the right side of the political blogosphere, one can read the posts and comments of many who excoriate President Obama for his “stupidity.”

These people don’t get it either…That premise is wrong.This is what people need to realize about destruction: it is the total opposite from building/improving.

Destruction, however, is not only opposite in purpose; it is so in methodology. We’re talking malicious destruction here. Using the building analogy again, think of what happens when someone blows up a building—or flies an aircraft into it.

Are any orders or rules to be followed for the goal to be achieved? No.

In fact, the more chaos perpetrated by malicious destruction, the faster a building—or a nation—disintegrates.President Obama, the Democrat Party–and whoever sits behind the scenes–sow method after method of chaos—and, in some cases, inaction is the chaos sowed. They stab the giant repeatedly, hoping it will finally fall, hoping for utter destruction.

GUNNY G: That Famous Presidential Marines Quote?

NOW… ABOUT THAT FAMOUS MARINES PRESIDENTIAL QUOTE! “Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they’ve made a difference. The Marines don’t have that problem.” -Author Unknown

President Ronald Reagan seems to be universally credited with the above quote, and the quote itself is generally shown with Reagan’s name below it. But, was he the originator of that saying?

No, he was not!

He did speak those words in 1985 or whenever alright, but he was not the first one to do so. I, personally, know that the above “quote” was known to Marines long prior to 1983/1985.

In fact, when I heard Reagan use it, I recall that I jokingly remarked to the effect that he would likely then be credited with it. But I never really thought that all reference to the original speaker of those words would be lost. Today, a search of the Internet would seem to indicate Reagan as the original speaker/writer of those words, and it must appear that way on a thousand Marines’ websites that I’ve seen!

Now that the saying has found its way into print together with Reagan’s name, the world believes what it sees is fact, and If the true reference is still out there somewhere, it is in indeed buried.

I am surprised that I can now find so few old-time Marines who remember it before Reagan. Most likely it was first written or voiced by a Marine–but possibly someone else– in a…

THE CULTURE of VIOLENCE in the AMERICAN WEST MYTHS Vs. REALITY ~ By: Thomas J. DiLorenzo

THE CULTURE of VIOLENCE in the AMERICAN WEST
MYTHS Vs. REALITY
By: Thomas J. DiLorenzo

EXCERPT

The Real Cause of Violence in the American West
The real culture of violence in the American West of the latter half of the nineteenth century sprang from the U.S. government’s policies toward the Plains Indians.

It is untrue that white European settlers were always at war with Indians, as popular folklore contends. After all, Indians assisted the Pilgrims and celebrated the first Thanksgiving with them; John Smith married Pocahontas; a white man (mostly Scots, with some Cherokee), John Ross, was the chief of the Cherokees of Tennessee and North Carolina; and there was always a great deal of trade with Indians, as opposed to violence. As Jennifer Roback has written, “Europeans generally acknowledged that the Indians retained possessory rights to their lands.

More important, the English
recognized the advantage of being on friendly terms with the Indians. Trade with the Indians, especially the fur trade, was profitable. War was costly” (1992, 9). Trade and cooperation with the Indians were much more common than conflict and violence
during the first half of the nineteenth century…

NYPD ‘army’ for 9/11 protests

The NYPD has called up “an army of cops” to handle rival protests expected to draw thousands to the site of the planned Ground Zero mosque on the anniversary of 9/11, sources said yesterday.“We want to keep everyone in their corners. You don’t want the opposing sides to clash,” an NYPD official told The Post. “

All eyes are going to be on New York City that day.

No one wants to see a fight on Sept. 11.”With as many as 4,000 riled-up demonstrators expected to pack into two blocks of Park Place between West Broadway and Broadway — the site of the proposed mosque — the department is sparing no expense to keep the peace, the official said.“There’ll be an army of cops down there,” the official said, estimating the number of officers at several hundred.

The culture of rage: America in the hands of angry fools

In 1741, the firebreathing Puritan preacher Jonathan Edwards delivered one of the most famous sermons in American history, invitingly titled, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.” It was a really scary sermon, the gist of which was that because the folks in colonial New England were behaving so badly, only the hand of God was holding back the waters and fires of damnation. Edwards warned, “If God should only withdraw his hand from the flood-gate, it would immediately fly open, and the fiery floods of the fierceness and wrath of God, would rush forth with inconceivable fury….” This image of God holding his hand on the gate is a powerful one, and it make me wonder what to expect next in a society in which rage seems to be the dominant emotion and no one seems to have his hand on the gate.

Someone on my thread suggested earlier this week that Americans aren’t nearly as angry as the media makes them out to be, because he or she had recently attended a family reunion where no one talked about taxes, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, or Barack Obama. Perhaps no one in this family looks at anything on the internet, turns on the television, or reads newspapers actually, the last is quite likely.

But most of us cannot help being affected by the culture of rage that seems to pervade every public debate. We react, according to our personalities and political and religious beliefs, by “acting out” our anger or suppressing it with a kind of despair.It seems to me that those of us who came of age in the 1960s are more disturbed than younger Americans by the current culture of rage, and that is only natural.continued

‘Chosin’: GI Film Festival Winner Hits Theaters

“Chosin,” winner of Best Documentary Feature at the 2010 GI Film Festival opens in theaters this week. Produced by combat decorated Marines and NY City friends Brian Iglesias and Anton Sattler, this Academy qualifying theatrical exhibition is sponsored by PepsiCo.

After 60 years of silence, the survivors of the Chosin Reservoir Campaign of the Korean War take viewers on an emotional and heart-pounding journey through one of the most savage battles in American history.

In the winter of 1950, 15,000 U.S. troops were surrounded and trapped by 120,000 Chinese soldiers in the frozen mountains of North Korea. Despite overwhelming odds, the men never lose faith in each other. Refusing to surrender, the men fight their way to freedom through 78 miles of unforgiving, mountainous terrain and ultimately save the lives of 98,000 civilian refugees.

Why did the FBI visit Rev. Jones?

Bill Otis, at the Crime and Consequences blog, notes an under-reported aspect of the story of Rev. Terry Jones plan which he subsequently called off to burn the Koran.

It is this: FBI agents visited Rev. Jones shortly before he changed his mind about the book burning.

The AP story about the FBI’s visit linked it to concern about public safety. But, as Bill observes, any reasonable public safety concern stemming from the action of Rev. Jones and his church would have only a local dimension — i.e., retaliation against him and his church.

Thus, Bill, a former federal prosecutor, concludes that there is “no visible nexus whatever for FBI involvement.”This raises the suspicion that the FBI visit was an attempt to intimidate Rev. Jones.

The following is my analysis of Islamic invasion of America, the agenda of Islamists and visible methods to take over America by the year 2020,” Shorrosh says.

”Will Americans continue to sleep through this invasion as they did when we were attacked on 9/11?”

1. Terminate America’s freedom of speech by replacing it with statewide and nationwide hate-crime bills.

Obama hits pastor over Koran-burning

President Obama on Friday stressed that the United States is not at war with Islam, blasting a Florida pastor who’s threatening to burn copies of the Koran for potentially endangering American forces serving in Muslim lands.”You don’t play games” with the lives of U.S. troops, an animated Mr. Obama said.

In his first formal press conference since May, the president also fiercely defended a New York imam’s decision to build a mosque and Islamic community center two blocks from ground zero in New York City, where nine years ago Saturday nearly 3,000 people were killed when planes hijacked by Islamist extremists crashed into World Trade Center.

“We’ve got millions of Muslim-Americans, our fellow citizens, in this country. They’re going to school with our kids. They’re our neighbors. They’re our friends. They’re our co-workers. And, you know, when we start acting as if their religion is somehow offensive, what are we saying to them?” Mr. Obama told reporters in the East Room.

While Mr. Obama had previously defended the right of the Muslim group in New York City to build its mosque, he was asked Friday about the wisdom of the move, given widespread criticism that the location could upset those who lost loved ones in the September 11 attacks.Going further than he had previously, Mr. Obama replied that one of “the inalienable rights” granted to all Americans was the right to practice their religion freely.

“And what that means is that, if you could build a church on a site, if you could build a synagogue on a site, if you could build a Hindu temple on a site — then you should be able to build a mosque on the site,” he said.

Rush Limbaugh Never Let On He Went to School With Pastor Jones

As you may have heard, conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh and Terry Jones you know, the Gainesville, Fla., pastor who threatened to burn Korans on 9/11 graduated from the same high school in Cape Girardeau, Mo., in 1969.

On Friday, Pastor Jones was all over morning TV and continued to go back and forth on whether he would be burning any Korans on the ninth anniversary of the terrorist attacks.Interestingly, Limbaugh referenced the Pastor Jones story on two recent occasions.

But according to transcripts, he never disclosed their shared past. Instead, Limbaugh referred to him simply as “the preacher,” “the guy,” or “the Gainesville pastor.”On Sept. 8, Limbaugh asked listeners of his popular radio show: “By the way, has the ACLU weighed in yet on the Gainesville pastor who wants to burn the Koran?

Why not? I mean, if the ACLU would be consistent they’d move in there and defend this Gainesville pastor’s right to burn the Koran.”

Holy book burning in America!

In a striking contrast between the astute and the clueless, I give you Sarah Palin and Barack Hussein Obama respectively. Before I ask you which one you’d prefer to invite over to your next backyard BBQ, you might first consider the following:

The US President has recently called Terry Jones’ plans to burn the Qur’an “a “stunt” that threatens the lives of American troops in Afghanistan and Iraq and violates American principles of religious tolerance. “If he’s listening, I just hope he understands that what he’s proposing to do is completely contrary to our values as Americans” Obama said in an interview that aired on ABC’s Good Morning America Thursday.

It would have been great if he simply stopped there, but he didn’t.

In his tradition of running at the mouth, he continued speaking like one in the bleachers of personal opinion….

To the best of my knowledge, no one on either side of this debate has ever made contact with Dr. Maganga. As such, I thought it prudent to at least attempt to do so.Though I now had what I considered to be a potentially reliable means of reaching him via email, I decided to wait until I could come up with a good reason to do so.

“This investigation is now compromised”; and “One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up” 9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said that “There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version . . .

We didn’t have access . . . .” He also said that the investigation depended too heavily on the accounts of Al Qaeda detainees who were physically coerced into talking And the Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission John Farmer – who led the 9/11 staff’s inquiry – recently said “At some level of the government, at some point in time…there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened”. He also said “I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described ….

The tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years…. This is not spin. This is not true.” And he said: “It’s almost a culture of concealment, for lack of a better word. There were interviews made at the FAA’s New York center the night of 9/11 and those tapes were destroyed.

The CIA tapes of the interrogations were destroyed. The story of 9/11 itself, to put it mildly, was distorted and was completely different from the way things happened”If even the 9/11 Commissioners don’t buy the official story, why do you?

Clinton Talks World Government at the Council On Foreign Relations

Over the Labor Day holiday, so called “moderates” confused if they are neocons or liberals threw around the name Hillary Clinton. Considering the dismal performance of Barry Obama, these folks believe the Dem side of the One Sided Party should run Hil for command-in-chief teleprompter reader.

I kid you not.

This is how deluded some people are.A certain journalist at the New York Daily News made this psychological condition obvious on Wednesday when she wrote: “Sure, I’m a Republican who can hardly be trusted to offer objective advice to Democrats I’ve long lambasted. But believe me when I tell you, two years of Obama has even me seeing Clinton in a much different light than in 2008, when I thought the only thing worse than a new President named Obama was another one named Clinton.”

The con game works like a charm. Thanks to a few months of Barry the Bumbler — it’s all in the script — she is ready to swallow the Clinton jive hook, line and sinker.

There ain’t a lick of difference between Hillary and Barry.

Both are globalist tools.

Both are here to fool you into thinking that it means something when you go into a computer hacked polling place and cast your ballot.

Hamilton and Kean Call for Domestic Terrorism Agency

The federal government needs an agency specifically charged with identifying radicalization or working to prevent terrorist recruitment of U.S. citizens and residents, according to a report issued by Tom Kean, Lee Hamilton, and the Washington-based Bipartisan Policy Center’s National Security Preparedness Group.

Kean and Hamilton led the effort to blame cave-dwelling Muslims for the attacks of September 11, 2001.Hamilton and Kean Call for Domestic Terrorism Agency onepixel Hamilton and Kean Call for Domestic Terrorism Agency ham kean The Kean and Hamilton report on domestic terror and “radicalization” dovetails with an effort by the Obama administration. Obama’s national security strategy includes a “new interagency effort that brings together key stakeholders” and continued “outreach to communities across the country,” according to Ben Rhodes, the White House’s deputy national security adviser.

“Our long-held belief that homegrown terrorism couldn’t happen here has thus created a situation where we are today stumbling blindly through the legal, operational and organizational minefield of countering terrorist radicalization and recruitment occurring in the United States,” claims the report, which cites Anwar al-Awlaki as an example of the “Americanization” of terrorism. Other examples cited include the “failed” Times Square non-bombing, the Christmas day fizzled underwear non-bombing, and the highly suspicious Fort Hood shootings.

As Webster Tarpley notes, the “fiery double agent” and “imam-provocateur” al-Awlaki played a key role in entrapping patsies in the Fort Dix and Toronto non-terror cases. His email exchange with the Fort Hood shooter, Army Major Nidal Hasan, was not considered important enough to warrant action by the government.

The Constitution Trumps Islamic Law Great piece by Diana West

One answer is because people who do not believe in Allah, from Sarah Palin to Gen. David Petraeus to assorted ministers and rabbis, have succumbed to a specifically Islamic brand of blackmail the “or else” of violence or other outbreaks of “extremism”, thus accommodating and even lobbying for the uniquely Islamic prohibitions against written, pictorial or symbolic criticism. In so doing, they have also succumbed to the Islamic narrative. That narrative, or rationale, tells us that burning a Quran causes murder and mayhem, putting our troops, our citizens, our cities and our interests at increased risk. In this narrative, the actual bad actors are absolved of both volition and blame.

Similarly, drawing cartoons of Muhammad Kurt Westergaard, Lars Vilks — or not drawing cartoons of Muhammad “South Park” — sermonizing about violence within Islam the Pope, and critiquing Islam Geert Wilders‘ “Fitna” are increasingly viewed as unacceptably “insensitive” and “disrespectful” provocations in Western society, regardless of their free-speech protections.

Drop the Jihad Plans, Florida ‘Pastor’ Changes Mind on Koran Burning – For Now

I wonder how much attention I could muster up if I announced my church would be burning some Korans. A cranky and crazy old guy in Florida with about 50 followers was able to get the focus of the world by saying he would take torches to the Muslim holy book on 9/11.

Politicians cringed and terrorists strapped explosives to their underwear. But at the last minute the so-called pastor of Dover Outreach Center has possibly changed his mind.When the story of Pastor Terry Jones torching Korans first broke, few folks covered it except some leftist blogs scouring news-wires for examples of Islamaphobia.

This story was ideal in that the book burners could be identified with anyone against the Ground Zero mosque. I wrote extensively on the issue over 6 weeks ago. See that article here. As more and more people began to discover the story it became a national concern and an international story. Would this ‘church’ burn the Korans and what would be the reaction by terrorists?

This week warnings from General Petraeus, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and other leaders were sent out. Clinton even asked the media not to cover the holy book torching as an act of patriotism.

There was a real concern that such an incident would lead to greater attacks on US soldiers and citizens abroad. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates called Jones on Thursday asking him to throw away the matches. Even President Obama felt it was necessary to speak up.“This is a recruitment bonanza for al-Qaida. You could have serious violence in places like Pakistan or Afghanistan. This could increase the recruitment of individuals who would be willing to blow themselves up in American cities or European cities.”

1% Trasaction tax?!?!?!

Forgive me if this is previously posted…. I just can’t believe they are going to try this crap.I checked this out and it is true.

There will be a 1% transaction tax on any financial transaction with the exception of purchase and sale of stock. If we make a $500 ATM withdrawal, we will pay $5 tax, and $300 on a $30,000 car purchase.

I checked this out on Truth or Fiction and it is true. The bill is HR-4646 introduced by US Rep Peter deFazio D-Oregon and US Senator Tom Harkin D-Iowa. It is now in committee and will probably not be brought out until after the Nov. elections.Suggest that you pass this along and also to your state senator and representative and US Congressman and Senators.One percent transaction tax is proposed President Obama‘s finance team is recommending a transaction tax.

Presidential Candidates Submit Handwritten Copy of Constitution

What if the president had to hand-write a copy of the Constitution before he took office?That’s the question Dr. David Corbin and Dr. Matthew Parks of The King’s College-New York City are asking. Corbin is an associate professor of politics, while Parks is the assistant provost.According to them, the presidential oath “to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States” is one that should be taken very seriously.

But “you can’t do this if you don’t know the Constitution or aren’t willing to submit to it,” they say.So, in a blog post on the First Things website, Corbin and Parks reveal a proposal that “each 2012 presidential candidate … adopt the ‘Constitution Pledge,’ promising to present a hand-written copy of the Constitution to the Chief Justice as he rises to take the oath of office.”“We’re constantly looking for reminders of just what it is that makes America exceptional,” Corbin told The Blaze. “And our constitution is one of those things.”

But presidents today are too preoccupied with “big things” such as sweeping reforms, he says. Rather than focus on grand projects that may or may not fail, he would rather future presidents understand their job description. The president’s, he says, is “ready made” in the Constitution.“And how would we know that you understand the job description [of president]?” Corbin asks, “By you reading and writing it down.”

The idea of the pledge is based on two examples: a biblical one and an historical one. The biblical passage of Deuteronomy 17:18-20, which instructs new kings to transcribe a copy of the law and keep it with him “all the days of his life,” was part of the impetus.

On October 6, President Barack Obama will award Staff Sergeant Robert J. Miller, U.S. Army, the Medal of Honor for conspicuous gallantry. Staff Sergeant Miller will receive the Medal of Honor posthumously for his heroic actions in Afghanistan on January 25, 2008.

Democratic Dunkirk?try to escape Obama, Pelosi, and Reid

Democratic Dunkirk?Democrats try to escape Obama, Pelosi, and Reid.BY Fred BarnesSeptember 8, 2010 5:00 PMWe are now seeing the beginning of the political equivalent of the evacuation of Dunkirk in 1940. This time, it’s not British troops escaping Nazi German forces. It’s Democrats evacuating Obamaland, desperate to avoid identification with President Obama with their re-election or election on November 2 in doubt.

Okay, I’m exaggerating, but not much. There is indeed a growing exodus of Democrats from Obama and also from their congressional leaders, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. And it’s striking for several reasons.For one thing, the evacuees want their constituents to know they’ve bailed out. They think it will help their campaigns and perhaps it will. At least five House Democrats are highlighting their votes against Obama’s health care plan. And you can expect more Democrats to join this parade. Politico couldn’t find even one Democrat who’s aired a TV ad that brags about supporting Obamacare.Another noteworthy aspect: Democrats in tight races are staying away when Obama visits their state or praying he won’t come. Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin was absent from the president’s appearance on Labor Day in Milwaukee. Democratic gubernatorial candidate Bill White didn’t show up for an Obama speech in Texas.

Treason charge against Obama has never been answered | The Post & Email

SO HOW CAN OBAMA COURT-MARTIAL ANYONE?

by Sharon Rondeau

There are many reports that Barack Obama was born in Africa and is not a “natural born Citizen.”Sept. 9, 2010 — On March 17, 2010, a criminal complaint was filed in the Eastern District of Tennessee against Barack Hussein Obama for Treason.While the complaint called Obama an “imposter president,” it focused on the violation of the Posse Comitatus Act committed by the U.S. Army acting under Obama over the deploying of U.S. troops in the town of Samson, AL on March 10, 2009.Filed by Cmdr. Walter Fitzpatrick, III, the complaint has gone unanswered. Obama has not taken steps to disprove the claims, nor has Fitzpatrick been arrested for mutiny.Others have recently filed criminal complaints with the FBI.Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin is awaiting court martial on charges of “missing movement” and “disobeying a direct order” after he questioned Obama’s eligibility to serve as president.

Florida Pastor Never Intended To Burn Quran: Prediction

I wrote this Wednesday night, and only learned of Jones’s reversal early Friday morning. Since it is now too late to write anything new, I give you my prediction, which was verified before I could make it!When asked about his inflammable intentions, Pastor Terry Jones of Gainesville, Florida, said Wednesday,”As of right now, we are not convinced that backing down is the right thing.”

These, I think obviously, are weasel words; of the same kind used by politicians from time immemorial.

And Jones is a politician, because theology is not practiced by press release except by politicos.No true hell-and-brimstone preacher will start any sentence in the passive voice, especially in words that practically shout “Spontaneous” Change Of Heart On Horizon. And again, no religious leader who, as it has been reported, has his congregation wear t-shirts bearing the ungrammatical slogan “Islam is the Devil”, will temporize that “backing down” is not the “right thing.”

Given this, my prediction is that Jones will not burn his Quran. Incidentally, when did we stop spelling it “Koran”? Further, I think that he will announce his intention to shelf his matches just before the burning is scheduled.

Seeing the world’s cameras on him, he will step up to the bank of microphones, conveniently provided by reporters with J-school “degrees” but not sense, and he will say something like the following: “I do not need to burn these Qurans. I have proved my point.”

And, in part, he will be right.

Now, the world is already ablaze, rhetorically speaking, from Jones’s threatened stunt. Ad my guess it is this conflagration is the only one he ever intended…

It is time for the REAL and deeper questions about Islam to be asked!

EXCERPT

Despite the rage and acting out going on regarding burning the Quran right now, what are the deeper and critical issues that must be asked and discussed within Islam and from the outside looking in?

According to Islam’s own writing and theology the last half of the Quran, trumps and has the reigning authority over the first half of the Quran which is the half talking about peace and loving type statements.

The last half which is said to dominate the first half is about war, jihad, how to define, treat, pursue and kill infidels and violence in general. Frank Salvato, editor of newmediajournal.us was my guest this week on air and he stated that we must ask and demand that Islam answers this internal, theology challenge.

“How do you respond to the fact that the last half of the Quran, the warring and violent part is said to trump the first half talking about peace?” If this is true as far as to how to interpret it then there is no ‘religion of peace’ but rather a religion of ‘war and conquest’ with a peaceful front only.To obey the proper authority structure within the Koran, the last half, one would have to truly believe that Islam’s goal is to indeed conquer, promote war, commit jihad, kill or enslave the infidels.

The first part of the Quran seems to be nothing more then media friendly sound bites for mass consumption. If this were not so, how is it that much of the Islamic world, here and abroad is rapid with horror, rage and even violence already in response to a goofy, small Pastor of 50 exercising his 1st amendment rights, when Islam slams, threatens, burns Bibles and churches to the ground on a regular basis? We of course are supposed to just take it….not be rude, draw a line in the sand, not challenge the Quran, Sharia law or Islam.

Pastor Jones: Another rebel-misfit celebrity

By Orest Slepokura Thursday, September 9, 2010Watching a news clip of Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, I found something about him to be familiar; I felt I had seen or had met someone like him before.

Then it hit me. Well, of course! Here was a latter-day Jed Clampett, the genial Ozark patriarch played by the inimitable Buddy Ebsen on the popular TV show of the 1960’s The Beverly Hillbillies.The Florida preacher, who is making geopolitical waves and great headlines after announcing he and his flock would mark the ninth anniversary of the September 11th terrorists attacks by burning a copy of the Holy Koran, seems a lot like the loveable TV hayseed from West Virginia.

In the interviews Jones gives, he comes across calm and unruffled and possessed of an intense conviction that burning the Muslims’ sacred texts is not only in no sense wrong, but that it’s the right thing to do by his lights, considering that Islam is “of the Devil.”Setting aside the potential his book-burning has for roiling the 1.5 billion strong Muslim world and moving thousands of otherwise law abiding believers to suddenly “go postal” on Western personnel, symbols, and institutions, the reason for such high anxiety within the U.S. and elsewhere, there remains the steadfast character of the Florida preacher, a Rock of Gibraltar, apparently, which I very much suspect has appeal for many of our American neighbours.It wasn’t so long ago editorial cartoonists were lampooning Paul Martin, our short-lived prime minister 2003-06, as “Mr Dithers.”

Martin, an able Finance Minister in Prime Minister Chretien’s regime, seemed to lack core convictions and react like a weather vane to whatever political winds were blowing. Hence, the moniker. It was this same perceived lack of core convictions that moved Ronald Reagan to comment on his two-term vice-president George H.W. Bush, struggling to gain traction against his two presidential rivals, Bill Clinton and Ross Perot, following a bruising primary, “We don’t know what he stands for.” Another wet noodle.That could not be said of 19th Century Abolitionist John Brown, an irresponsible fanatic who attempted to raise the slaves in the U.S. and arm them against their white masters.

In 1859, he led a failed raid by scores of his followers on the armory at Harper’s Ferry in Virginia. Brown had intended to arm African-American slaves with a cache of weapons seized from the arsenal. All his men were either killed or captured or routed. Brown was arrested, tried, and in the end hanged for treason.

Obama Persuades Corn Pone Bigot, Reverend Jones, Not To Burn Koran

By William Kevin Stoos

Thursday, September 9, 2010image

STOOS VIEWS EXCLUSIVE-SatireIn a dramatic turn of events, Hugh Betcha, Head of the Religious Affairs Bureau of the Stoos Views Media Conglomerate, located in beautiful downtown Wynstone, South Dakota—where the air is clean, the crime rate low, and people vote red—a man who walks with kings and princes and recognized as the “Most Trusted Name in News, 2010” by MSNBC, CNN and FOX News, brokered a deal between red-neck, corn pone bigot, Reverend Terry Jones of Florida and red-diaper baby/President of the United States, Barack Obama.

Asked by his friend Obama to intervene in the crisis caused by Reverend Jones, whose planned burning of the Koran promised to inflame religious hatred around the world, needlessly endanger the lives of American troops, and accomplish nothing but gain him fifteen minutes of fame, Hugh flew to Florida under cover of darkness on Air Force One to mediate an end to the crisis.

After hours of hard bargaining, arm twisting, cajoling, and appeals to their “better angels,” Hugh was able to broker a deal that will avert a major international crisis and calm fears of renewed religious violence and distrust between Christians and Muslims.Employing his renowned ability to change hearts and minds, it seems that Hugh accomplished more than he expected by this visit, and obtained concessions that were, in his words, “startling.”

Speaking remotely from a satellite phone outside Jones’ church, Hugh told Stoos Views, “It was an amazing meeting and hearts were changed. I simply appealed to the good Reverend’s sense of Christian charity and he reluctantly conceded that Christ taught us to love our neighbors. He admitted he had forgotten that passage in the Bible. He also admitted that he would be incensed if Muslims were to stage a Bible burning.

I think the ‘do unto others as you would have them do unto you,’ thing was the straw that broke the camel’s back. At that point I think he relented. He was practically in tears.”

Stanley Ann Dunham’s Birth Certificate REVEALED.

..

At the end of July, some of Stanley Ann Dunham‘s passport documentation had been released to Mr. Christopher Strunk by the State Department following a lawsuit brought against the State Department for failing to comply with a Freedom of Information request originally made in October 2008.The released documents indicate Dunham’s husband, Lolo Soetoro, petitioned the Immigration and Naturalization Service of the State Department in 1967 to obtain a waiver to return to the United States to rejoin his wife and her infant son, Barack Obama Jr.As usual, the birth certificate for Barack Obama was conspicuously absent from the documents.

Obama’s birth certificate would surely have been required for Obama to travel back and forth from Hawaii to Indonesia, and it was likely submitted by Ann Dunham for a passport issued to her in July 1965.

Secretary Gates Called Pastor Jones, Defense Department Confirms

Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell confirmed to the Pentagon press corps that Defense Secretary Robert Gates called Florida pastor Terry Jones this afternoon to express his “grave concerns” about a planned Koran burning because it could place US military lives at risk.Morrell said Gates placed a call between 4 and 4:30 p.m. today and engaged the pastor in a “very brief conversation.”"The Secretary expressed his grave concerns to the pastor that going forward with the Koran burning would put the lives of American servicemembers at risk, especially in Iraq and Afghanistan and he urged him not to proceed with the burning,” he said.

Emanuel would be ‘excellent’ mayor of Chicago, Obama says

Reporting from Washington —

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel would do a good job as Chicago mayor, President Obama said in an interview Thursday morning, but he predicted Emanuel’s decision about whether to seek the office likely wouldn’t come until after the November congressional elections.

Emanuel is currently focused on his job at the White House, where there is a long to-do list at the moment, Obama said.

The president’s party is bracing for a tough election, with Democratic majorities in Congress at risk. “One thing I’ve always been impressed with about Rahm is that when he has a job to do, he focuses on the job in front of him,” Obama told ABC’s’ George Stephanopoulos. “And so, my expectation is he would make a decision after these midterm elections. He knows that we’ve got a lot of work to do.”Excerpt Read more at latimes.com …

Has the world gone mad?

The good news: The lunatic minister in Florida has been persuaded or threatened into not burning the Koran.

Book burning is despicable, cowardly and un-American.

The bad news: Would anyone believe, in the days immediately following 9/11, there would come a time in this country, when radical, lunatic Muslims would dictate to the American people and its government, that certain forms of protest would not tolerated- and the President of the United States, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, and an American general would meekly acquiesce? Damn it, the AP said it wouldn’t broadcast photos, audio or even a description of the Koran burning.

Even FOX News backed down.

Has the world gone mad?

The 9/11 Mosque, the spark that ignited the flame? Rant

Americans are finally starting to wake up.

Unfortunately, it took a radical dive in the economy, and an ignorant act of burning the Koran.

Why is it that we are releasing these murderous pedophiles from Gitmo where over 90% of them end up killing more innocence, but this Administration cares so much about some po-dunk pastor exercising his first Amendment rights?

I truly believe this is the start of America standing up to Islam. First it was the WTC bombing in 1993, then the double US embassy bombings, then the USS cole bombing, the 9/11 attacks, the CIA hq attack, shoe bombers, panty bombers, daniel pearl, beheadings, there are too many to list. If our own Administration will not stand up for the rights of its people, then this is what you get, uncontrolled acts of ignorance.

What really sparked this fire is the 9/11 mosque, wow we really are a nation divided.

Former GOP Rep: Obama is “Not Competent” to be President; “But We’re Stuck with the Guy” – Video

Here is video of former New York GOP Rep. John LeBoutillier on with Don Imus this morning, where he flat out said that Barack Obama is not “competent” to be President.LeBoutillier compared Obama to former President Jimmy Carter – whom he also said was not competent.

“He Obama has come into focus, and he is not up to being a leader of the United States of America – he can’t do it. But, we’re stuck with the guy. So, we’re floundering around as a country.”

That pretty well sums it up. Our situation is a stark reminder of the consequences of electing a President for any other reason than whether or not the person is qualified, and stands for the principles that have made America great.

Obama does not fit the bill on either count.

That was plain as the nose on your face all through 2008.

What if Media Simply Ignored Terry Jones?

excerpt…

The Rev. Terry Jones was a sad-sack preacher, lucky to draw 50 people to his steel-shed house of prayer, when the words “burn” and “Quran” had an unfortunate collision in his limited brain.That he has become an international phenomenon as a result must be a sign the apocalypse is near.We actually have Gen. David Petraeus, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the White House and even the pope pleading with a hick pastor not to burn books.

This is a guy who looks like Jed Clampett wearing a Hulk Hogan mustache, who uses words like “tragical,” who earlier this year launched a “No homo mayor” campaign against a candidate in Gainesville.SNIP SNIPAs much as everyone is blaming him, this is far from his fault. He’s just a prop.I ask you: If a sad little man burns some Qurans in the woods, and the media aren’t there to film it, is it news?Of course not.

We created the Rev. Terry Jones from dust. And in two weeks, to dust he shall return. Then we’ll move on to the guys who plan to run over the Quran at their monster-truck pull. Whatever it takes to keep your attention.It is all so truly tragical.We could help head off such future nonsense if we folded up the circus tent and left Jones alone with his blowtorch and 30 followers.Maybe if Gen. Petraeus told the media that it isn’t Rev. Jones who is endangering troops.

That it is our coverage of Rev. Jones. That without us, this book burning would be little more than a grainy video on YouTube.Put the onus on a responsible party and hope it acts responsibly.Fat chance.

WHY ARE THE STATE DEPARTMENT AND GSA SAYING DIFFERENT THINGS ABOUT PASSPORT RECORDS?

by Sharon Rondeau

The purpose of the GSA is “to help manage and support the basic functioning of federal agencies”Sept. 9, 2010 — Mr. Christopher Strunk had filed a FOIA request late in 2008 for the passport records of Stanley Ann Dunham Obama Soetoro.

When he was denied the records, he filed a request for a Writ of Mandamus with Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg asking for a “Temporary Restraining Order under 28 USC §1651 of the New York Electoral College pending issuance of an order by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia of records demanded of the U.S. Department of State under the Verified Complaint and Petition for Writ of Mandamus under F.O.I.A…”

Strunk later filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Washington, DC on January 5, 2009, which eventually yielded some of the records he had requested.

There is a 30-day appeal period for FOIA information recipients. Regarding appeals of FOIA decisions, the Department of Justice states:

Jeffrey Goldberg’s Scoop of the Year: The Castro Interview

excerpt…

By now most PJM readers have heard about or looked at Atlantic magazine correspondent Jeffrey Goldberg’s scoop of the year — his invitation to travel to Cuba and have an exclusive meeting with Fidel Castro.

The dictator, it seemed, read Goldberg’s Atlantic cover story about Iran and Israel, and requested that Goldberg travel to Cuba so he could talk about the issue with him.Of course, what Castro wanted to really accomplish was to use Goldberg as a conduit for his ideas — to let the world know his most recent thoughts and also to send a message to those considered his long-standing allies, Ahmadinejad in Iran and Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. What Castro told them is that a nuclear war between Iran and Israel must be averted and that Ahmadinejad should “stop slandering the Jews.”Was this Castro’s message to Jews on the eve of the Jewish New Year? Has the man who for years backed and trained PLO terrorists during Yasser Arafat’s heyday, and who supported the USSR’s anti-Semitic and anti-Israel policies, actually reevaluated and moved towards a new Cuban policy?

The truth is we don’t know. Whatever his motives, to have Fidel Castro announce that essentially Ahmadinejad is both wrong and probably crazy is some kind of unexpected breakthrough. Goldberg writes:

The White Rose: An Interview with Mrs. Susanne Zeller- Hirzel Surviving member talks about islam

excerpt…

BackgroundThe White Rose was a civilian resistance organization that actively opposed Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany during WWII. It was composed of students from the University of Munich and their philosophy professor, Kurt Huber. The group became known for an anonymous leaflet campaign, lasting from June 1942 until February 1943, calling for active resistance to the Third Reich.

Upwards of 9,000 copies of the White Rose leaflets were distributed across Germany leading to an investigation by the Gestapo. Six members of the group were arrested; endured show trials conducted by Nazi Judge Roland Freisler and were executed by decapitation in 1943.

The story of the valiant White Rose resistance group has been the subject of a film Sophie Scholl – Die letzten Tage Sophie Scholl: The Final Days, Weisse Rose White Rose a chamber opera by Udo Zimmerman that debuted in Hamburg in 1986 to international acclaim and many books, most recently: Sophie Scholl and the White Rose in 2006.The first leaflet from the White Rose read:Isn’t it true that every honest German is ashamed of his government these days?

Who among us has any conception of the dimensions of shame that will befall us and our children when one day the veil has fallen from our eyes and the most horrible of crimes – crimes that infinitely outdistance every human measure – reach the light of day?

All Us “Citizens of the World”

As a candidate for the U.S. presidency, Barack Obama touted himself to foreign audiences as a “citizen of the world.” As President, Mr. Obama is determined to make sure we are such citizens, too.

The President’s serial apologies, bowing and pandering to various unsavory international leaders has gained the most notoriety for his policy approach – giving rise to this column’s characterization of the “Obama Doctrine” as: “Emboldening our enemies; undermining our friends; and diminishing our country.”More worrisome are myriad other steps largely being taken out of the public eye.

Particularly when such actions are taken together, they will have the effect of institutionalizing the core notion behind Mr. Obama’s brand of what his top international lawyer and prospective future Supreme Court nominee, State Department Legal Advisor Harold Koh, calls “transnationalism”:

A new world order in which the United States is simply one nation among many, subject to a higher – if utterly unaccountable – authority.Many of these changes involve the secular strain of this phenomenon and its holy of holies, the United Nations.

Team Obama has made a point of building up the UN at American expense by: legitimating the organization at every turn; deferring to one lowest-common-denominator consensus after another – no matter how inconsistent they might be with U.S. positions and interests; and joining discredited entities like UNESCO and the Human Rights Council.

Teddy Roosevelt On Islam

EXCERPT…

Christianity is not the creed of Asia and Africa at this moment solely because the seventh century Christians of Asia and Africa had trained themselves not to fight, whereas the Moslems were trained to fight.Christianity was saved in Europe solely because the peoples of Europe fought.

If the peoples of Europe in the seventh and eighth centuries, an on up to and including the seventeenth century, had not possessed a military equality with, and gradually a growing superiority over the Mohammedans who invaded Europe, Europe would at this moment be Mohammedan and the Christian religion would be exterminated.Wherever the Mohammedans have had complete sway, wherever the Christians have been unable to resist them by the sword, Christianity has ultimately disappeared. From the hammer of Charles Martel to the sword of Sobieski, Christianity owed its safety in Europe to the fact that it was able to show that it could and would fight as well as the Mohammedan aggressor. …..

The civilization of Europe, American and Australia exists today at all only because of the victories of civilized man over the enemies of civilization because of victories through the centuries from Charles Martel in the eighth century and those of John Sobieski in the seventeenth century.

During the thousand years that included the careers of the Frankish soldier and the Polish king, the Christians of Asia and Africa proved unable to wage successful war with the Moslem conquerors; and in consequence Christianity practically vanished from the two continents; and today, nobody can find in them any “social values” whatever, in the sense in which we use the words, so far as the sphere of Mohammedan influences are concerned.There are such “social values” today in Europe, America and Australia only because during those thousand years, the Christians of Europe possessed the warlike power to do what the Christians of Asia and Africa had failed to do — that is, to beat back the Moslem invader.

Obama: Koran Burning, No; Flag Burning, Yes

EXCERPT…

On Tuesday, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley called Pastor Terry Jones’ plan to hold a “Burn A Koran Day” on the ninth anniversary of 9/11 “unAmerican.” Hillary Clinton called it a “disrespectful, disgraceful act.” And just this morning, Barack Obama said the proposed event was “completely contrary to our values as Americans.”

He cited local fire ordinances that might be used against the church if it proceeds and called on Jones to cancel the Mohammedan bonfire.Although he tried to stop the desecration of Korans, Obama showed no such concern for the American flag. In June 2006, Senator Obama voted against the Hatch Amendment, a proposed constitutional amendment that read in full:

“The Congress shall have power to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States.” It failed by one vote.In an official statement explaining his vote, the future president said even debating the issue of flag burning was “a disservice to our country” and agreed that banning flag desecration “would destroy part of freedom itself.”He added that he was “hard-pressed to find more than a few instances of flag burning each year” perpetrated by a few lonely souls.This weekend’s happening is the only Koran burning in the country. Dove World Outreach Center of Gainesville, Florida, has 50 members.Obama now states, correctly, that burning the Koran may endanger American soldiers overseas.

But so, too would his decision last year to release up to 2,000 of photos of Americans abusing Muslim detainees, which virtually the entire military establishment said would supercharge al-Qaeda recruitment. He eventually relented.When a Christian pastor threatens, however distastefully, to burn the Muslim scriptures, Obama’s rhetorical condemnation knows no bounds. He even cited local laws police could use against the church. But when the issue is burning a flag or building a mosque at Ground Zero, his only interest is protecting the constitutionally guaranteed rights of his constituents America-hating Muslims and America-hating liberals, respectively.

Throw in a globetrotting childhood being raised by a far-Left mother, the influence of Frank Marshall Davis, more than a decade of drinking in Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s sermons, and his all-consuming obsession with America’s “tragic” history, and one gets a clearer picture why he does not cross his heart during the National Anthem, wear a flag pin, or vote to ban flag desecration.[1] Add to that Obama’s statements about the “Holy Quran” and the Muslim call to prayer being “one of the prettiest sounds on earth,” and the picture becomes clearer yet.Obama does not oppose flag burning, because most people only oppose desecrating something they love.

The Great Emancipator Reconsidered

Although it may be a minority viewpoint among scholars, some intellectuals do not think that talk show host Glenn Beck’s criticism of President Woodrow Wilson goes far enough. “There would have been no Wilson if there had been no Lincoln,”

Professor Marshall DeRosa said at a conference at Catholic University on September 5, 2010. “America has always been imperialist,” he alleged.“McKinley and the Spanish American War referenced back to Lincoln,” DeRosa said, and “Lincoln was revived during the New Deal to prop up programs.” DeRosa, who teaches at Florida Atlantic University, spoke at a conference staged by the National Humanities Institute, run by Joseph Baldacchino.

“Traditionally, Christianity has emphasized humility, which guided the framers,” Baldacchino stated. “Another strain, out of New England, emphasized America as the millennial kingdom.”Although not a New Englander, Lincoln appeared to Baldacchino and some of the panelists to subscribe to this latter school of thought. Lincoln was “the greatest articulator of civil religion,” according to Hope College historian Jeffrey Polet.The old rail splitter, Polet claimed, divided American history into three ages: The Founders The Fall and The Age of [Lincolnian +] Reason.Of the Founders, Lincoln said, “They shall be read no more forever.” Even on the issue that textbooks tell us defined the Civil War, Lincoln could be surprisingly pragmatic.

DeRosa asserts that Lincoln was committed to an “indissoluble union” “even if it meant keeping slavery.” In The American Political Tradition and the Men Who Made It, Columbia historian Richard Hofstadter recorded similar pre-war utterances by the Great Emancipator.Moreover, it should be noted that even Lincoln’s admiring biographer Carl Sandburg called the beloved president a “man of steel and velvet.” Nevertheless, Wilson makes for a much more solid target for historians doing necessary revisions.For one thing, Lincoln not only freed the slaves but desegregated the nation’s capital and government. Wilson resegregated both, half a century later.“We must sacrifice all that we are and all that we have to redeem the world and to make it fit for free men like ourselves to live in,” Wilson said in a 1918 speech at the Baltimore armory. Apparently, he really wanted black Americans to suck it up.

“Wilson gave the finest sermon for what humans are capable of if they are not human,” George Clemenceau, the prime minister of France observed at Versailles. Score one for the French.Malcolm A.

American Wake Up to Islam

The furor over the Islamic center, variously called the Ground Zero Mosque, Cordoba House, and Park51, has large implications for the future of Islam in the United States and perhaps beyond.An artist’s rendering of the proposed Islamic center near Ground Zero.

The debate is as unexpected as it is extraordinary. One would have thought that the event to touch a nerve within the American body politic, making Islam a national issue, would be an act of terrorism. Or discovery that Islamists had penetrated U.S. security services. Or the dismaying results of survey research. Or an apologetic presidential speech.But no, something more symbolic roiled the body politic – the prospect of a mosque in close proximity to the World Trade Center‘s former location. What began as a local zoning matter morphed over the months into a national debate with potential foreign policy repercussions. Its symbolic quality fit a pattern established in other Western countries. Islamic coverings on females spurred repeated national debates in France from 1989 forward. The Swiss banned the building of minarets. The murder of Theo van Gogh profoundly affected the Netherlands, as did the publication of Muhammad cartoons in Denmark,.

Oddly, only after the Islamic center’s location had generated weeks of controversy did the issue of individuals, organizations, and funding behind the project finally come to the fore – although these obviously have more significance than does location.

Personally, I do not object to a truly moderate Muslim institution in proximity to Ground Zero; conversely, I object to an Islamist institution being constructed anywhere. Ironically, building the center in such close proximity to Ground Zero, given the intense emotions it aroused, will likely redound against the long-term interests of Muslims in the United States

INTERPOL issues global alert for increased terror threat if Koran is burned

LYON, France – INTERPOL has today issued a global alert to its 188 member countries following the request of Pakistan’s Minister of the Interior, and its own determination, that if the proposed Koran burning by a pastor in the US goes ahead as planned, there is a strong likelihood that violent attacks on innocent people would follow.

Minister Rehman Malik personally contacted INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble to engage the world police body’s assistance in warning law enforcement of the increased terrorist threat if plans reported by the media to burn the holy book were carried out on Saturday’s anniversary of the September 11 attacks.“One of INTERPOL’s primary functions is to prevent crime, and given that we have been made aware of a significant threat to public safety – an assessment which we share – it is our duty to ensure that we pass this information on to law enforcement agencies around the globe so that they can take appropriate measures,” said INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble.

“Although there are currently no specific details as to what forms of terror attacks would follow, what is clear is if the Koran burning goes ahead as planned, there will be tragic consequences, ones which may well claim the lives of many innocent people,” added Mr Noble.INTERPOL has circulated Pakistan’s warning and its own alert to all National Central Bureaus around the world, and also has requested that any country receiving information about a potential threat to public safety contact INTERPOL’s General Secretariat headquarters immediately.“September 11 is a day when the world should come together to redouble our efforts to prevent and fight terrorism, not a day when any individual, especially an American, should engage in provocative acts that will give terrorists propaganda intended to convert September 11 from a day of remembrance, to one of recruitment for terrorists and others inspired to attack the US and other western targets,” stressed Secretary General Noble.

“Pakistan’s actions in contacting INTERPOL to ensure that potentially vital information in helping police identify and prevent any form of terror attack is circulated worldwide are to be commended, and the reaction of INTERPOL and others around the world in response to this planned hateful act should be seen by the Muslim community as strong evidence that this man and his small congregation stand alone,” concluded…

That only serves to increase the debt.“My Republican opponent is calling himself a fiscal conservative, but he’s continually supported Barack Obama’s big spending bills.

But patient advocates say opening up people’s medicine cabinets to law enforcement would deal a devastating blow to privacy rights.Allowing sheriffs’ offices and other law enforcement officials to use the state’s computerized list would vastly widen the circle of people with access to information on prescriptions written for millions of people.

Don’t Make Me Behead You!

Joy Tiz©2010

“But if we don’t do this right, anger will explode in the Muslim world. If we don’t do things correctly, this crisis could become much bigger than the Danish cartoon crisis [over images depicting the Prophet Mohammed], which resulted in attacks on Danish embassies in various parts of the Muslim world.

And we have a much bigger footprint in the Muslim world.”-Faisal Abdul RaufThe flim flam imam ought to run for congress. It’s just a matter of time before the Democrats recruit him.

He’s a natural master of doublespeak. Rauf issued his warning about inflaming the normally peaceful and tolerant Muslim world right after assuring us that had he the slightest inkling that building a Victory Mosque at Ground Zero would cause upset, he never would have proposed such a thing.Of course, if the Victory Mosque doesn’t go forward, we will be severely punished. Be nice to the jihadis and maybe they’ll behead you last.The alleged constitutional scholar, Barack Obama, is demanding a complete and unconditional surrender to Muslim extremism. Rauf’s right to build a Victory Mosque 600 feet from the 9/11 massacre is absolute and protected by the Constitution.

Presumably, he means the U.S. Constitution. The right of a private citizen in Florida to toss a few Korans onto the barbeque is, however, hate speech and is not only intolerable and offensive, but will cause Islamoterrorists to quit baking cookies and join the jihad.Is there something that won’t inflame the Muslim world and be used as a recruitment tool for jihad? Ann Coulter got it right:”This is what liberals say whenever we do anything displeasing to the enemy — invade Iraq, hold captured terrorists in Guantanamo, interrogate captured jihadists or publish Muhammad cartoons.

“Yet another woman who has more cajones than Barack Obama, Angela Merkel, has had her fill of this insanity. Merkel just presented the 75 year old Kurt Westergaard with an award for what she called “freedom of speech.” Westergaard, whose head is still firmly attached to his body, published insulting cartoons depicting Mohammed in a less than reverent light. The Germans understand a thing or two about crazy cults.

How Obama Thinks Best, most thorough article on Obama’s pysche I have seen yet

Obama Sr. was an economist, and in 1965 he published an important article in the East Africa Journal called “Problems Facing Our Socialism.”

Obama Sr. wasn’t a doctrinaire socialist; rather, he saw state appropriation of wealth as a necessary means to achieve the anticolonial objective of taking resources away from the foreign looters and restoring them to the people of Africa.

For Obama Sr. this was an issue of national autonomy. “Is it the African who owns this country? If he does, then why should he not control the economic means of growth in this country?”As he put it, “We need to eliminate power structures that have been built through excessive accumulation so that not only a few individuals shall control a vast magnitude of resources as is the case now.”

The senior Obama proposed that the state confiscate private land and raise taxes with no upper limit. In fact, he insisted that “theoretically there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100% of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed

Palin: “Koran Burning Is Insensitive, Unnecessary; Pastor Jones, Please Stand Down”

Book burning is antithetical to American ideals. People have a constitutional right to burn a Koran if they want to, but doing so is insensitive and an unnecessary provocation – much like building a mosque at Ground Zero.Excerpt Read more at facebook.com …

KORAN BURNERS AND MOSQUE BUILDERS ARE THE SAME

The Koran burning and the Ground Zero mosque are the same thing.They are both legal, and they are both wrong. They are impolite, cruel and hurtful, and protected by the Constitution.Good people would do neither.But good people aren’t behind either.Yes, the loony pastor in Florida is wrong to burn Korans as a protest. But, yes, for the exact same reasons, the loony imam in New York is wrong to put a mosque within the blood splatter of Ground Zero.Yet, ironically, the Obama Administration calls one action “protected” and the other “idiotic.”And the same people who defend burning the flag as free speech denounce burning the Koran as religious intolerance.The double standards on this deal are nauseating.First, as to Saturday. In Florida, where a tiny church has threatened to burn copies of the Muslim Koran, a PR stunt has made a flake a star, and brought attention to one more loser who craves it.He claims his Christianity compels him to burn the Muslim book.He is wrong. Christianity compels no such thing.Yes, Christianity compels him – and all believers – to reject Islam as a means of salvation. Christianity teaches that only through faith in and obedience to Jesus Christ can mankind be saved. Christianity teaches that the Koran is spiritual falsehood and confusion, akin to the idolatry and false gods of the Old Testament.But Christianity also teaches a simple standard for dealing with others:

Treat them the way you yourself would want to be treated. Not the way they have treated you – that is the devil’s plan of revenge and lowest-common-denominator relations – but the way that you would want to be treated.And it is clear that no one – including this pastor in Florida – would want a symbol of their faith treated in a disrespectful way. It’s simply not courteous, neighborly or Christian.

Random Pat-Downs Turn PATCO Into Police State

Twelve Transportation Security Administration screeners, armed with an explosive-sniffing K-9, checked 663 commuter bags randomly selected from the morning rush at the Lindenwold station

Tuesday.

“It was chaotic,” Kevin Greczyn, an accountant from Magnolia who commutes to Philadelphia daily, told the Courier Post. “Nobody was sure what was happening, whether it was safe to get on the train, or whether we were carrying something we shouldn’t be.”ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOWRandom Pat Downs Turn PATCO Into Police State 260310banner2Having A Supply Of Healthy Foods That Last Just Makes Sense ADThe chief says that out of the 6663 bags searched between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m., a crack pipe was the only item confiscated.

“We can conduct any kind of search we want,” said McClintock. “We could ask TSA to bring wands or X-ray machines like they have in airports, though we don’t think that’s appropriate for PATCO riders at this time.”
