[osint] No Speech Means No Defence - Gagging Us Softly
http://sheikyermami.com/2011/09/12/no-speech-means-no-defence/ No speech Means No Defence by sheikyermami on September 12, 2011 Andrew Bolt Mark Steyn lists some extraordinary examples of the thought police at work, and I wish I wasn't one of them: In this anniversary week, it's sobering to reflect that one of the more perverse consequences of 9/11 has been a remorseless assault on free speech throughout the west. I regret to say that, in my new book, I predect this trend will only accelerate in the years ahead. The fun, such as it is, is in the examples, so read on http://www.steynonline.com/content/view/4409/26 . But the sting is in the conclusion: if you let them take your right to free speech, how are you going to stop them from taking all the others? Update: Let http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/ lets_all_be_macedonian/ 's all be Macedonian Do you have to be Macedonian to be free to speak? http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/ column_at_least_our_macedonians_are_free Are only Anglo-Saxons racist?

Or as an ordinary Canadian citizen said to me, after I testified in defense of free speech to the Ontario parliament at Queen's Park, Give me the right to free speech, and I will use it to claim all my other rights. Conversely, if you let them take your right to free speech, how are you going to stop them from taking all the others? Here's the whole thing: Mark Steyn: http://www.steynonline.com/content/view/4409/26 Gagging us softly In this anniversary week, it's sobering to reflect that one of the more perverse consequences of 9/11 has been a remorseless assault on free speech throughout the west. I regret to say that, in my new book http://www.steynstore.com/product88.html , I predect this trend will only accelerate in the years ahead. The essay below was written as last week's National Review cover story: To be honest, I didn't really think much about freedom of speech until I found myself the subject of three hate speech complaints in Canada in 2007. I mean I was philosophically in favor of it, and I'd been consistently opposed to the Dominion's ghastly human rights commissions and their equivalents elsewhere my entire adult life, and from time to time when an especially choice example of politically correct enforcement came up I'd whack it around for a column or two. But I don't think I really understood how advanced the Left's assault on this core Western liberty actually was. In 2008, shortly before my writing was put on trial for flagrant Islamophobia in British Columbia, several National Review readers e-mailed from the U.S. to query what the big deal was. C'mon, lighten up, what could some human rights pseudo-court do? And I replied that the statutory penalty under the British Columbia Human Rights Code was that Maclean's, Canada's biggest-selling news weekly, and by extension any other publication, would be forbidden henceforth to publish anything by me about Islam, Europe, terrorism, demography, welfare, multiculturalism, and various related subjects. And that this prohibition would last forever, and was deemed to have the force of a supreme-court decision. I would in effect be rendered unpublishable in the land of my birth. In theory, if a job opened up for dance critic or gardening correspondent, I could apply for it, although if the Royal Winnipeg Ballet decided to offer Jihad: The Balletfor its Christmas season I'd probably have to recuse myself. And what I found odd about this was that very few other people found it odd at all. Indeed, the Canadian establishment seems to think it entirely natural that the Canadian state should be in the business of lifetime publication bans, just as the Dutch establishment thinks it entirely natural that the Dutch state should put elected leaders of parliamentary opposition parties on trial for their political platforms, and the French establishment thinks it appropriate for the French state to put novelists on trial for sentiments expressed by fictional characters. Across almost all the Western world apart from America, the state grows ever more comfortable with micro-regulating public discourse-and, in fact, not-so-public discourse: Lars Hedegaard, head of the Danish Free Press Society, has been tried, been acquitted, had his acquittal overruled, and been convicted of racism for some remarks about Islam's treatment of women made (so he thought) in private but taped and released to the world. The Rev. Stephen Boissoin was convicted of the heinous crime of writing a homophobic letter to his local newspaper and was sentenced by Lori
[osint] Muslims Wish Americans to Forget About 9/11
http://sheikyermami.com/2011/09/12/time-to-close-the-book-on-911-says-al-hab toor/ Time to close the book on 9/11, says Al Habtoor by sheikyermami on September 12, 2011 Another call to “close the book on 9/11″ and pretend it was nothing to do with islam / never happened at all … (thanks to Mullah) Blame Bush! http://www.arabianbusiness.com/time-close-book-on-9-11-says-al-habtoor-4195 95.html “Unfortunately, in his haste for retribution, George W. Bush squandered the Muslim world’s post-9-11 goodwill enflaming anti-American sentiment…..” The nerve of these insolent creeps! The tenth anniversary of 9/11 [photos http://www.arabianbusiness.com/photos/sept-9-2001-first-moments-after-plane s-crashed-into-wtc-towers-419027.html ] should mark the beginning of renewed relations between the Muslim world and the west, one of the UAE’s most prominent businessmen, Khalaf Al Habtoor, has said. http://sheikyermami.com/wp-content/uploads/DownloadedFile-113.jpeg http://sheikyermami.com/wp-content/uploads/DownloadedFile-113.jpegWriting in this week’s Arabian Business magazine http://www.arabianbusiness.com/time-heal-post-9-11-wounds-419529.html , the founder of Dubai’s Al Habtoor Group urged governments and media to move forward and concentrate on bridging the rifts between the Muslim world and the US. Just move on, foggeddabaudit: “Now we must put old hurts behind us and move on. Governments and the media have been commemorating 9/11 every year for a decade but in order to heal and repair the gap between the US and the Muslim world we shouldn’t keep opening-up old wounds or dwell on sorrow which can so easily derail our coming together,” he said. Sunday marks the tenth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks in which al Qaeda militants hijacked four airliners and killed almost 3,000 people. The attacks sparked a decade of growth in anti-Muslim sentiment. A September 2010 Washington Post-ABC News poll showed that 49 percent of Americans held an unfavourable view of Islam compared to 39 percent in October 2001. “The idea that west is west and east is east and never the twain shall meet should be discarded. We must teach our children that we may hold different beliefs, follow different traditions and wear different clothes but we all citizens of one shrinking global village,” said Al Habtoor. How about you discard the Koran, Al Habtoor? “The past cannot be changed. The victims of 9-11 should be remembered always and lessons must be learned. However, the only road open to is forward; I pray that we’ll take that journey to a better tomorrow in unity and harmony,” he added. Under Islam? Thanks but no thanks. Former president George Bush’s decision to invade Afghanistan and Iraq only served to inflame anti-Muslim sentiment, said Al Habtoor. “Unfortunately, in his haste for retribution, George W. Bush squandered the Muslim world’s post-9-11 goodwill enflaming anti-American sentiment, which served to recruit new batches of Al Qaeda clones. As commander-in-chief he had to react to the attacks but his methods didn’t bring the success he craved,” he said. The Muslim world’s post-9-11 goodwill? They were dancing in the streets handing out candy! New York Major Michael Bloomberg last week called on people to stop calling the site of the September 11 attacks “Ground Zero http://www.arabianbusiness.com/photos/sept-9-2001-first-moments-after-plane s-crashed-into-wtc-towers-419027.html ” and urged Americans to move past a term long linked with the World Trade Center’s twin towers destruction. Yes Bloombugger is complicit, we know that. “We will never forget the devastation of the area that came to be known as ground zero. Never. But the time has come to call those 16 acres what they are: The World Trade Center and the National September 11 Memorial and Museum,” he said during a speech. “The rebirth and revitalisation of lower Manhattan will be remembered as one of the greatest comeback stories in American history,” he added. No. It was an act of war. And Bloombugger is not only a coward, but a traitor in the Arab pocket. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -- Want to discuss this topic?

Witnesses said they were all from one Christian family, and had been shot or hacked to death by Muslim Fulani herdsmen. Daily Times http://dailytimes.com.ng/article/gunmen-kill-14-people-family-jos One pregnant woman who was in labour was among those killed. They shot victims and (others) were macheted to death. In the night around 12.30 a.m. we heard a strange noise. Those people who came to attack us were speaking the Fulani language and they were pointing at houses. They all dressed in military uniforms, said local council chairman Moses Dalyop. http://barenakedislam.wordpress.com/2011/09/12/nigeria-muslims-hack-to-deat h-14-members-of-the-same-christian-family/nigerian-gunmen-violence/ http://barenakedislam.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/nigerian-gunmen-violence.j pg?w=590h=306 The U.N. human rights office called on Nigeria on Friday to halt the violence in Plateau, in which it said 70 people had been killed since early August. The latest killing would bring that number to more than 84. Plateau state straddles the Middle Belt between Nigeria's mostly Muslim north and largely Christian south that, though normally peaceful, periodically flares up, igniting local rivalries over religion, ethnicity and fertile farmland. The violence adds to President Goodluck Jonathan's security headaches, after a spate of bombings by Islamist insurgents in the north and the capital, including one on the U.N. offices that killed 23 people. Local government officials have accused the security forces of not doing enough to prevent the violence. A spokesman of the military Special Task Force (STF) meant to keep order in Plateau, Captain Charles Ekeocha, defended its role and said one Fulani herdsman suspected of a killing had been arrested on Saturday.

A group of 100 Muslim radicals, including members of Muslims Against Crusades, shouted 'USA terrorists' and brandished anti-American placards. He said: 'I'm a Muslim. What they're doing is bringing shame on all Muslims.This is not part of the teachings of Islam. 'Islam is all about peace, but what they want to do is hate other people. One protester in Grosvenor Square said: 'You will always face suffering, you will always face humiliation, unless you withdraw your troops from Muslim lands.' A small group of Muslims staged a counter-demonstration nearby, holding up placards reading 'Muslims Against Extremism' and 'If You Want Sharia, Move To Saudi'. Earlier, a group of English Defence [sic] League protesters were ordered to move on to accommodate the anti-American demonstration. The 60-strong group briefly scuffled with police as they were forced away from their original location to a different part of Grosvenor Square. Twenty people were arrested for breach of the peace as the group was dispersed towards Oxford Street. And at least four more arrests were made as police escorted the Muslim group back towards the Central London Mosque in Regents Park. Yes, sure. Tiny minority. The real tiny minority were the Muslims protesting against the flag-burning Muslims. It's great they suggest Muslims who want sharia should leave, but Mohammad wanted sharia too, and he did much worse than burn flags. And why is it that Muslims can protest both sides, but the EDL was ordered to move on? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -- Want to discuss this topic?

[osint] Muslim Persecution of Christians: August, 2011

As will become evident, whatever the of persecution that took place, it typically fits under a specific theme, including hatred for churches and other Christian symbols; sexual abuse of Christian women; forced conversions to Islam; apostasy and blasphemy laws; theft and plunder in lieu of jizya, the additional tax that can be imposed on by Muslims on non-Muslims in a Muslin state; overall expectations for Christians to behave like cowed dhimmis, or second-class protected citizens; and simple violence. Oftentimes it is a combination of the aforementioned. Because these accounts of persecution span different ethnicities, languages, and locales -even in the West, wherever there are Muslims-it is clear that one thing alone binds them: Islam-whether the strict application of Sharia, or the supremacist culture borne by it. Categorized by theme, August's batch of Muslim persecutions of Christians includes (but is not limited to) the following events, listed according to theme and in alphabetical order by country, not necessarily severity of the event: Attacks on Christian Symbols: Churches and Bibles Indonesia: Two churches were set aflame http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/home/two-churches-torched-in-indonesia/45693 0 ; officials downplayed these cases of arson by arguing that the buildings were only made of board and not real churches. A mayor also proclaimed http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/home/churches-cant-be-built-in-streets-with- islamic-names-bogor-mayor/460241 that churches cannot be built on streets with Muslim names. Iran: Officials launched a Bible burning campaign http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/iran-bible-burning-christians/2011/08/26/i d/408824 , confiscating and destroying some 7,000 Bibles; many were publicly burned. Likening their tiny Christian minority to the Taliban and parasites http://www.christiantoday.com/article/more.arrests.and.bibles.seized.in.ira n/28492.htm , the regime also cracked down on Christians (who make up less than 1% of the entire population), arresting many; their whereabouts remain unknown. Iraq: Two churches were bombed: the first http://www.voanews.com/english/news/middle-east/Bomb-Attack-Outside-Iraqi-C hristian-Church-Wounds-23-126569753.html attack damaged the church and wounded 23; the second http://www.asianews.it/news-en/Attack-against-Kirkuk%E2%80%99s-St-Ephraim-S yrian-Orthodox-Church-22365.html damaged the church (a third church was targeted but the bomb was defused before detonating). Nigeria: Two churches were bombed http://www.compassdirect.org/english/country/nigeria/article_115792.html , including a Baptist church no longer in use due to previous Muslim attacks; when officials arrested Islamist leaders, a third Catholic church was torched http://www.jihadwatch.org/2011/08/nigeria-youths-torch-catholic-church-afte r-authorities-arrest-clerics-believed-connected-with-boko-h.html . Apostasy and Forced Conversions Eritrea: At least eight Christians have died in prisons http://www.worthynews.com/10862-christian-deaths-climb-in-eritrean-prisons , most under severe conditions and torture, simply for refusing to recant Christianity. India: A female who was formerly stripped and beaten http://www.compassdirect.org/english/country/india/article_116022.html by a Muslim mob for converting to Christianity, continues to receive severe threats to return to Islam or die; likewise, Muslims held three Christian women threatening to beat and burn them alive if they continued worshipping Christ.

[osint] Obama's Muslim Allies Refuse to Condemn Terrorism
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/islamic-bloc-declines-condemn-all-terrorism Islamic Bloc Declines to Condemn All Terrorism By Patrick Goodenough http://cnsnews.com/source/patrick-goodenough September 12, 2011 Subscribe to Patrick Goodenough's posts http://cnsnews.com/source/72503/feed http://w.sharethis.com/images/check-small.png http://w.sharethis.com/images/check-small.png http://w.sharethis.com/images/check-small.png http://w.sharethis.com/images/check-small.png http://cnsnews.com/image/oic-1 OIC Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) leaders meet in Mecca in December 2005 to adopt the organization's Ten Year Program of Action. (Photo: OIC) (CNSNews.com) - In a statement marking the tenth anniversary of 9/11, the bloc of Islamic states on Sunday reiterated a stance that has stymied efforts at the United Nations for well over a decade to develop a global convention against terrorism - the insistence that any definition of terrorism should make an exception for resistance against foreign occupation. As long as the loophole exists, critics say, it provides cover for violent attacks by Palestinians against Israelis, by jihadists fighting Indian control of part of disputed Kashmir, and by groups who portray the U.S. and coalition military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan as occupation. Some of the Islamic countries that have themselves suffered the most from terrorism, notably Pakistan, are among the most determined in refusing to back down on the occupation exception - even though that stance has since 1996 held up the drive to formulate an international, legally-binding terrorism convention. On the eve of the 9/11 anniversary, U.N. secretary-general Ban Ki-moon said in Australia on Friday he regretted the fact that the goal of a comprehensive convention has not been achieved, attributing the failure to some disagreement among member states. In its 9/11 anniversary statement the 56-country Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) said that it joins the international community in remembering the horrendous and cowardly act of terrorism and the tragic loss of thousands of innocent human lives. The OIC seizes this opportunity to reiterate its firm position of condemning terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and to underscore that terrorism is a repugnant malady that seeks to destroy the fundamental ethos of humanity, it said. But the statement then added that the OIC's position on terrorism is clearly stated in a document adopted in 2005, the OIC Ten Year Program of Action http://www.oic-oci.org/page_detail.asp?p_id=228 . That document states that the OIC members condemn terrorism in all its forms, and reject any justification or rationalization for it, but then adds that they distinguish it from the legitimate resistance to foreign occupation, which does not sanction the killing of innocent civilians. The OIC's 9/11 statement also drew attention to another initiative, the OIC Convention on Combating Terrorism, approved in 1999. The OIC Convention on Combating Terrorism http://www.oicun.org/7/38/ includes a definition of terrorism. Article One defines the phenomenon as any act of violence or threat thereof notwithstanding its motives or intentions perpetrated to carry out an individual or collective criminal plan with the aim of terrorizing people or threatening to harm them or imperiling their lives, honor, freedoms, security or rights or exposing the environment or any facility or public or private property to hazards or occupying or seizing them, or endangering a national resource, or international facilities, or threatening the stability, territorial integrity, political unity or sovereignty of independent States. Article Two of the Convention, however, states, Peoples' struggle including armed struggle against foreign occupation, aggression, colonialism, and hegemony, aimed at liberation and self-determination in accordance with the principles of international law shall not be considered a terrorist crime. Definition elusive, 15 years on The U.N. does have a number of conventions dealing with various aspects of terrorism, but not one comprehensive and - crucially - legally-binding one. At the instigation of India - a major target of terrorism - the U.N. General Assembly in 1996 passed a resolution setting up an ad-hoc committee to work on a draft convention proposed by India. The committee has met for a one- or two-week period every year for the past 15, but agreement on a terrorism definition remain elusive. At its most recent annual meeting, held over five days last April, the ad-hoc committee once again came up against the same issue. Some delegations emphasized that terrorism should not be equated with the legitimate struggle of peoples under colonial or alien domination and foreign occupation for national liberation and self-determination, the committee said in a report http://daccess-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N11/311/64/PDF/N1131164.pdf?Open Element on
[osint] RE: Islam: Incessant and Relentless
From: robert butler Sent: Monday, September 12, 2011 2:06 PM To: beow...@westerndefense.net Subject: Re: Islam: Incessant and Relentless G'day Beowulf, Relative to referenced, no doubt, everything posted is very true, but the mindset and violent concepts of fundamentalist, Muhammedan Islamists cannot be compared to or defined in terms of religion or rational thought processes. For the sake of argument, regarding the animating forces of Islamists / jihadis, one needs to eliminate ideologies and reason altogether, and stick to history and facts. Islam is not comparable to any other religions, but is a geopolitical, supremacist, cult-belief system, designed to create a global caliphate wherein the elements of imperialist, authoritarian control and submission replaces all natural laws, rationality and civil, social order. It was conceived out of unmitigated evil, unbridled arrogance and must be identified for what it is. Isaiah 14:12 NKJV - How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! Isaiah 14:13 NKJV - For you have said in your heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; Isaiah 14:14 NKJV - I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.' Isaiah 14:15 NKJV - Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, To the lowest depths of the Pit. Isaiah 14:16 NKJV - Those who see you will gaze at you, And consider you, saying: 'Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms, Isaiah 14:17 NKJV - Who made the world as a wilderness And destroyed its cities, Who did not open the house of his prisoners?' Isaiah 14:18 NKJV - All the kings of the nations, All of them, sleep in glory, Everyone in his own house; Isaiah 14:19 NKJV - But you are cast out of your grave Like an abominable branch, Like the garment of those who are slain, Thrust through with a sword, Who go down to the stones of the pit, Like a corpse trodden underfoot. We have a 1400 year history of the interaction between Islam and Kafir nations. The data matches the theory. Centuries after Islam enters the culture the host culture is annihilated--see Turkey. There is no compatibility between Islam and us. Islam is not now, nor can it ever be, a part of our civilization. It is the final goal of Islam to annihilate all Kafir civilizations. Its first stage of--we are just like you, only different—should be seen for what it is. No amount of preaching by apologists can change Islam’s political doctrine and history. Since the inception and rise to prominence of Muhammedan Islam in the early 7th Century A.D. the number of deaths and vitimizations attributed to Jihad may be summed up as follows: (See Tears of Jihad http://www.politicalislam.com/tears/pages/tears-of-jihad/ , CSPI http://cspipublishing.com/statistical/index.html .) * Africa - 120 million * Christians - 60 million * Hindus - 80 million * Buddhists - 10 million * Jews (less than 1 million) * Total: 270 million 97% or more deadly terrorist attacks around the world in this century are attributed to Muhammadan Muslims and jihad, 90% of which involve the deaths and victimizations of other Muslims. 100% of violent, assault-rapes against non-Muslim females in Sweden and Norway in this decade, according to police reports, are committed by Muslim Males. Obama said at the latest White House Iftar dinner: Like so many faiths, Islam has always been part of our American family, and Muslim Americans have long contributed to the strength and character of our country, in all walks of life. These words have no basis in fact. Islam is not part of our civilization because its foundational principles are opposite to ours. Our civilization is built on the foundation of critical thought (how we think) and the Golden Rule (ethics). Islam is built on submission (authoritative thought) and ethical dualism. And people say that Islam just needs to be reformed. Good luck on dealing the authoritative rules of thought and reform. It is not that you are wrong, you are dead wrong. Want more examples of authoritative thought? Try Salman Rushdie, the author of the Satanic Verses, a novel. Islam’s reaction to the novel was a death fatwa. When the Mohammed cartoons were published, people died in riots. So far in America what happens if you differ with Establishment thought about Islam, you are called names, such as bigot or hater, and insulted as a punishment. However, the Establishment keeps flirting with the expanded versions of hate speech being criminalized. Hate speech is speech the Establishment doesn’t like. Critical thought does not deal with punishment, just cause and effect along with Aristotelian logic. Nor do insults and threats play a part in critical
[osint] Anarchy in Egypt: Whose Embassy is next?

By Rachel Ehrenfeld The leading role played by the Muslim Brotherhood in the street and in the Egyptian political system can no longer be denied. The mass demonstrations that continued after the fall of Mubarak's regime weakened of the military leadership's power, and led to attacks on the Israeli Embassy in Cairo, and escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Jonathan Dahoah Halevi, a fellow at the American Center for Democracy, and a former advisor for policy planning at the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saw the writing on the wall in August when Muslim Brotherhood-led anti-Israeli demonstrations -- fueled by Hamas attacks on Israel from Gaza -- went uninterrupted by the regime. The ground was ripe in Egypt. The Brotherhood, Hamas' parent organization, defined the Egyptian revolution as a necessary first step towards the liberation of all of Palestine. The Brotherhood successfully seized the opportunity to use the revolution, especially Mubarak's overthrow and prosecution to motivate the masses, sending them to the streets. Indeed, the Brotherhood's organizational capability exceeds that of all the other political parties in Egypt combined. On August 19 and 20, the Brotherhood directed hundreds of thousands to protest in many cities in Egypt, including outside the Israeli Embassy in Cairo and the Israeli Consulate in Alexandria. The protesters tried to force their way into the embassy, and some were able to lower the flag of Israel. The preaching during the month of Ramadan combined with Hamas attacks on Israel in August which led to the IDF retaliation which eliminated the terrorists cell, also killing an Egyptian officer and four members of the Egyptian security forces, were used by the Brotherhood to further incited the masses to daily demonstrations, demanding to cancel the Camp David accords, close the embassies in Cairo and Tel Aviv, and take military action against Israel. This strategy helps the Brotherhood to strengthen their political power and to pressure the military to promote democratization in line with the organization's agenda, to advance Shari'a law, avoid significant constitutional changes, hold the general and presidential elections as soon as possible, and to alter the relations with Israel. Back in August, Halevi warned that an escalation in the protests could lead to more attempts to break into the embassy in Cairo and the consulate in Alexandria, even a takeover, as happened with the United States Embassy in Tehran in 1979. Halevi further explained: Israel's Foreign Ministry faces a complex dilemma on this issue. Evacuating the Israeli diplomats out of fear for their safety would be a great victory for the Egyptian opposition and would signal the end of the peace with Egypt... Preserving the last thread in the diplomatic relations with Egypt would compromise the safety of the embassy staff and the Consulate General of Israel in Egypt. Recent events and the assessment of the risks require the Foreign Ministry's to be prepared for the possibility of an emergency and immediate evacuation of Israeli diplomats until the internal situation in Egypt is stabilized and the regime is able to effectively control the country. The military leadership ability to control the masses is very limited -- using force and risking casualties is not an option at this time. The uninterrupted mob attacks on the Israeli Embassy in Cairo, which culminated last weekend with the ransacking of the embassy and the emergency evacuation of most Israeli diplomatic staff and their families, should worry all foreign missions. This confirmed the failure of Egypt's ruling army council to enforce order, thus violating the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1951) that guaranties the protection of foreign all missions. This is not the first time that foreign missions came under attack in the Arab/Muslim world. The mass anti-Western demonstrations and attacks on foreign embassies following the publication of the Muhammad cartoons were sanctioned by the Arab/Muslim governments. However, the so-called Arab Spring that was hijacked by the Brotherhood and its affiliates destabilized Arab regimes and created anarchy. Following protests from Israel and the US, Egypt's ruling military council issued a statement saying this was an ''attack on Egypt's image, deployed security forces around the Israeli Embassy in Cairo, and recognized Egypt's ''total commitment to respecting international conventions, including the protection of all (diplomatic) missions''. Still, the unabated incitement against Israel, America and the West begs a genuine concern about the military's ability and

Ten years and two presidents later, we are about to commemorate the massacre perpetrated by Muslim terrorists, haters of American people and American lifestyle, and who because of that targeted the core of our country. Unsuspecting men and women don't know that Barack Hussein Obama is ready to, surreptitiously and subtly, deliver a blow to the morale of the American people. Hiding behind the label of the White House, the Obama Administration has quietly published 'guidelines' to government officials on how they are supposed to hold the 9/11 tenth anniversary ceremonies. For full disclosure, it has been impossible to find anywhere in the White House http://www.whitehouse.gov/ website the slightest indication of such guidelines, which have been first shared publicly via an article in the New York Times, written by Thom Schanker and Eric Schmitt http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/30/us/politics/30terror.html . Appears that one set of recommendations is for federal agencies in American territory, and another set is for overseas allies and their citizens, made available via American embassies. As if we were all one country under one government. While 9/11 happened in the heart of New York, seems that the Obama-guidelines are going to impose a balancing act remembering the victims -only- and honoring those whose service has helped to prevent another catastrophic attack on American soil. Indeed, it will be a good opportunity to acknowledge in front the world that it was not only America but also other nations who have being targeted by terrorists from Al Qaeda and other extremist groups who have carried out terrorist attacks elsewhere in the world, from Mumbai to Manila, and so on. Beyond that, the Obama White House 'insinuates' also in which tone we are supposed to commemorate the work of evil: It will be by a positive and forward-looking message with mitigated emphasis on Al Qaeda. True to himself and consistent with his long-term pro-Muslim agenda, Obama announced the color during his radio weekly address http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/08/26/weekly-address-coming-together-re member , entitled Coming Together to Remember, on August 27, 2011. Pulling the strings behind this, reportedly is, Benjamin J. Rhodes, in charge of answering some questions during a telephone interview with the New York Times. He said that the Administration needs to make sure they are speaking to a very broad set of audiences who will be affected by the anniversary. Good to know. But, WHO is Benjamin J. Rhodes? http://www.whorunsgov.com/Profiles/Ben_Rhodes He is Obama's foreign policy writer in the White House and the man who helps shape the Administration's message on such sensitive topics as our military presence in post-Liberation Iraq, military intervention in Pakistan and, even more dangerously, on whether to sit down with rogue foreign leaders --without precondition. But, maybe what will best describe Rhodes is his favorite quote: Our problems are man-made; therefore, they can be solved by man. Signed: John F. Kennedy. Rhodes version Thus, according to Obama and team, commemorations should honor victims of global terror, arguing that citizens of 90-plus countries were killed as result of attacks carried out by 19 hijackers who had previously seized four planes, taking nearly 3,000 lives. Translation 19 beastly Muslim terrorists on 9/11, perpetrated a despicable massacre, slaughtering almost 4,000 unsuspecting, innocent American civilians in times of peace. Bin Laden's timely death, gives the Obama guidelines a legitimate excuse to tell us that Al Qaeda is losing their relevance, even in the Arab Spring uprisings against longtime autocrats in the Middle East and North Africa -and former allies of America, one must add. When, without consulting with the American Congress, Obama took America to war in Libya, we found out that our men have been put to fight on the same side as Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi

Soros calls these Americans, most of whom are conservatives, Fear Incorporated. The Soros group known as the Center for American Progress (CAP) is deliberately attempting to take attention away from events in the U.S. that are in progress to commemorate the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history, and focus that attention on claims of Muslim-bashing by members of counterterrorism think-tanks, terrorism analysts and some members of the news media such as Fox News Channel. That one of the report’s authors is in custody due to a suspected relationship with Hamas says it all. One of the authors of this Soros-CAP report was interviewed by Al-Jazeera’s Samer Allawi, who is now in custody in Israel facing allegations that he’s a covert agent of Hamas. Israpundit http://www.israpundit.com/archives/39121 details CAP’s “proof”: Center for American Progress released “Fear, Inc.,” yet another report in the increasingly hysterical bullying campaign to shout down criticism of political Islamist efforts to influence American foreign and domestic policy. Their latest “copy and paste” effort duplicates large sections of five nearly identical “investigations” just this year, complaining that millions of concerned Americans are Islamophobes. The primary organizations– what should be called the “Shariah Defense Lobby”– are the Center for American Progress/ThinkProgress, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) with support from a handful of other far-left or Islamist bloggers and Washington lobbyists.

[osint] Terrorists Destroy Israeli Embassy in Cairo; Israel Requests US Assistance - not Forthcoming
http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle-east/thousands-gather-in-egypts-t ahrir-square-to-demand-civilian-rule/2011/09/09/gIQAWD2nEK_story.html?wpisrc =nl_headlines Israel requests U.S. aid after protesters attack embassy in Cairo By Michael Birnbaum http://www.washingtonpost.com/michael-birnbaum/2011/03/02/ABftvmP_page.html and Ingy Hassieb, Published: September 9 | Updated: Saturday, September 10, 7:57 AM CAIRO - Israel airlifted its ambassador home and sought U.S. intervention with Egypt to help secure its embassy here early Saturday, hours after thousands of Egyptian protesters besieged the building, with several managing to gain entry and fling Hebrew-language documents from a balcony. Protesters knocked down a 12-foot concrete wall that had been built last week to protect the embassy, which is near the top floor of a 21-story residential building in the upscale Dokki area. At least two protesters scaled the front of the building to pull down the Israeli flag, hanging from the 20th floor. It was the second time in recent weeks that demonstrators had removed the flag. The crowd burned Israeli flags and threw rocks at security forces as protesters denounced the deaths of several Egyptian border guards last month. The guards were killed as Israeli troops pursued militants who they said had crossed into Egypt from Gaza to attack the Israeli resort town of Eilat. Late Friday, protesters appeared to have reached the embassy's foyer, throwing documents from a balcony, said an Israeli official quoted by Reuters news agency. It was not clear whether the documents were sensitive. Egyptian security forces used tear gas and sent a string of armored personnel carriers to try to clear away the protesters. Egyptian Deputy Health Minister Hamid Abaza told the Associated Press that at least three people died and more than 1,000 were hurt during the street clashes with police. Earlier the state-run Middle East News Agency said that 448 people were injured in the fighting around the embassy, including 46 police officers. In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the incident, which led to the departure of the Israeli ambassador and nearly all of his staff, a serious breach of bilateral relations. The fact that Egyptian authorities ultimately acted with determination is laudable, Netanyahu was quoted as saying by an official in his office. That said, Egypt cannot conduct business as usual after this harsh blow to the fabric of relations with Israel and gross violation of international norms. Israeli officials who tracked events during the night described tense hours during which Netanyahu spoke by phone with President Obama to seek help in protecting the embassy and extricating six Israeli security guards trapped inside when a mob broke through an outer door into the public reception and consular affairs area. The ambassador and other embassy staff were not in because it was Friday night, the Jewish Sabbath, and a day off in Egypt, when the embassy is closed. Netanyahu was also in contact with the Egyptian chief of intelligence, General Murad Muwafi, a member of the ruling military council, according to the officials. Defense Minister Ehud Barak meanwhile, spoke to U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and with Dennis Ross, the president's Middle East advisor on the National Security Council, his office said. A senior Pentagon official said Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta spoke Friday evening with Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak and the head of Egypt's ruling military council, Field Marshal Mohammed Hussein Tantawi, to try to ease the crisis. Tantawi told Panetta that Egypt would take necessary measures to secure the Israeli Embassy, the senior Pentagon official said. The rioters were literally a door away from the security guards, said one official, who spoke anonymously in order to talk freely. There was very real concern for their safety and their lives. The Prime Minister spoke to them directly because he moved during the night to a situation room in the Foreign Ministry, where there is a direct link to the embassy. It was a very grave incident and we were very concerned that it was going to get worse. After tear gas was used to disperse the protestors, the Israeli guards were eventually extricated at about 5 a.m. Saturday by Egyptian special forces and escorted to the airport, where they were flown back to Israel on an Israeli air force plane, according to the officials. Another Israeli plane left earlier carrying the ambassador, Yitzhak Levanon, the embassy staff and their families - about 80 people in all, the officials said. The deputy ambassador, Yisrael Tikochinsky-Nitzan, remained in a secure location in Cairo to maintain contact with the Egyptian authorities, said the official who spoke anonymously. He added that we know that American intervention with the Egyptian authorities helped stabilize the situation and get our people out. The Egyptian Interior
[osint] Why U.S. troops should stay in Iraq
A very very stupid idea. Nation-building muslims is not worth the effort.impossible in fact. 7th century barbarian scum. B http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/why-us-troops-should-stay-in-iraq/201 1/09/07/gIQADo2bFK_print.html Why U.S. troops should stay in Iraq By Meghan O'Sullivan, Published: September 9 As America looks back on this 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, the war in Iraq looms large - and usually not in a good way. At best, it's regarded as a distraction, a needless conflict that took America's focus away from Afghanistan and al-Qaeda. At worst, the Iraq war is decried as a fiasco, the United States' greatest strategic disaster, as retired Gen. William Odom, the former National Security Agency director, once put it. There is no question that Iraq, as it stands today, has fallen short of American - and Iraqi - hopes and expectations. And there is no question that the costs of the war, for both sides, have been greater than anticipated. Even so, Iraq's achievements - including the establishment of representative institutions against all odds - are hardly minor. The country could still become mired in a civil conflict that destabilizes the region. But it is equally or even more conceivable that, with relatively small amounts of continued U.S. support, the greatest strategic benefits of the Iraq intervention will materialize in the next several years. And these benefits would more than justify an ongoing U.S. military presence there. This belief about Iraq's strategic potential is not based on the naivete that underpinned many optimistic assessments before the war, and it is rooted in firmer ground than the desperate hopes of someone, like me, who has devoted much of the past decade to U.S. efforts in Iraq. While by no means inevitable, there are at least three ways in which Iraq has only just begun to show its strategic value. First, Iraq can offer a great deal toward ensuring that the nascent transitions from dictatorships to more accountable governance in the region succeed over the long term. Egyptians, Tunisians, Libyans http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/world/middle-east-protests/ - and perhaps eventually Syrians and Yemenis - have an advantage over Iraqis in the sense that they carry none of the baggage that comes with having a regime removed by the armed forces of an external power. But they will face many of the same challenges tackled by the Iraqis over the past eight years: how to hold members of the former regime accountable without stripping society of the expertise needed to rebuild the country; how to manage a political transition amid competing pressures for both quick results and inclusive processes; and how to deal with elements of the former regime determined to unseat the new order. For sure, Iraqis - and we Americans - did not meet these challenges without mistakes and missteps. But Iraq's lessons can help other countries of the Arab world make smoother, more successful transitions. Even before the Arab Spring, Arab intellectuals had begun looking to Iraq http://www.cihrs.org/English/NewsSystem/Articles/151.aspx 's experience to gain insights into their own challenges. Second, Iraq, perhaps paradoxically, is now one of the Middle Eastern countries best positioned to maintain ties with the West and with the United States in particular - no small matter in a region where U.S. strategic allies have almost literally disappeared overnight. The eight years since the ouster of Saddam Hussein have been traumatic both to Iraqis and Americans. But at the same time, the shared experience has built relationships and sympathies between the two populations that run deep. Even Americans who lament the U.S. intervention in Iraq must realize that their country made a large investment there and that there are benefits to some sort of ongoing relationship. The Iraqi view of the United States is more complex. Even while there is real resentment, in private many Iraqi officials recognize that a continued bilateral relationship is important to the future stability and prosperity of their country. This mutual understanding is enshrined in the Strategic Framework Agreement of 2008, which pledges robust, nonmilitary cooperation between the two nations for the long term. A close U.S.-Iraqi relationship may be an important asset as other countries in the region draw further away from the United States, rejecting the policies of their former authoritarian, but pro-American, regimes. Finally, and most compelling, there is the role that Iraq may play in averting a major global energy crisis in the coming years. The world economic recession eased pressure on global oil supplies and provided relief from the climbing energy prices of 2007 and 2008. But a quiet trend of 2010 was that growth in global oil consumption grew at the second-fastest rate ever, at 2.8 percent, while growth in global crude oil production lagged behind at 2.5 percent.

MARSEILLE, France (AP) - Financial leaders from the world's most developed nations are discussing how to speed up the flow of tens of billions of dollars to help support democracies in North Africa and the Middle East, British Treasury chief George Osborne said Saturday. Osborne told reporters that finance ministers from Europe, the U.S., Canada and rich Arab countries will also commit to boosting trade with the region during the talks Saturday. Osborne spoke ahead of meetings between those finance ministers and the finance ministers of Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco and Jordan, as well as representatives of Libya's National Transitional Council. What you'll see today is confirmation that we want to see the EBRD (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development) expand the commitment of money now, Osborne said. The bank is now changing its statutes so it can expand operations out of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union and into North Africa and the Middle East. Osborne said financial officials will also try to get some money to the EBRD in the short term so they can get going ahead of the planned reform. Along with financing from other international development banks, officials expect to mobilize tens of billions of dollars in lending over the next three years to aid the five countries invited to Saturday's meeting, Osborne said.

[osint] The 9/11 victims America wants to forget: The 200 jumpers who flung themselves from the Twin Towers who have been 'airbrushed from history'
And the fact that it was because of MUSLIM terrorists! Never forgive, Never Forget. B http://www.dailymail.co.uk/ Description: Description: MailOnline - news, sport, celebrity, science and health stories Saturday, Sep 10 2011 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/weather/index.html 9PM 15°C 12AM 14°C 5-Day Forecast The 9/11 victims America wants to forget: The 200 jumpers who flung themselves from the Twin Towers who have been 'airbrushed from history' By http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/search.html?s=authornamef=Tom+Leonard Tom Leonard Last updated at 12:48 PM on 10th September 2011 Almost all of them jumped alone, although eyewitnesses talked of a couple who held hands as they fell. One woman, in a final act of modesty, appeared to be holding down her skirt. Others tried to make parachutes out of curtains or tablecloths, only to have them wrenched from their grip by the force of their descent. The fall was said to take about ten seconds. It would vary according to the body position and how long it took to reach terminal velocity around 125mph in most cases, but if someone fell head down with their body straight, as if in a dive, it could be 200mph. Description: Description: Horror: A person falls to their death after jumping from the north tower following the audacious terror strike which shocked the world a decade ago Horror: A person falls to their death after jumping from the north tower following the audacious terror strike which shocked the world a decade ago When they hit the pavement, their bodies were not so much broken as obliterated. Nothing more graphically spells out the horror of the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers than the grainy pictures of those poor souls frozen in mid-air as they fell to their deaths, tumbling in all manner of positions, after choosing to escape the suffocating smoke and dust, the flames and the steel-bending heat in the highest floors of the World Trade Centre. And yet, tragically, they are in many ways the forgotten victims of September 11. Even now, nobody knows for certain who they were or exactly how many they numbered. Perhaps worst of all, surprisingly few even want to know. From the earliest days after the 9/11 attacks, the American establishment and the media showed an overwhelming reluctance to dwell on those who jumped or fell from the Twin Towers. If this was simply down to qualms at being considered intrusive or voyeuristic when individuals in the most appalling circumstances chose in desperation to die very publicly, it would be understandable. But there are other, more complicated, reasons. In the aftermath of this attack on Americas sovereign territory a period of intense patriotism some considered that to choose to die rather than be killed showed a lack of courage. And in this country of intense religious fervour, many believe that to be a jumper was to choose suicide rather than accept the fate of God and suicide in whatever circumstances is considered shameful or, indeed, a sin that will send you to Hell. At the office of the New York chief medical examiner, a spokesman said this week that they did not consider these people jumpers. She insisted they fell from the 1,350ft tall, 110-floor skyscrapers, for jumping would imply suicide. Jumping indicates a choice, and these people did not have that choice, she said. That is why the deaths were ruled homicide, because the actions of other people caused them to die. The force of explosion and the fire behind them forced them out of the windows. Description: Description: Terror: An estimated 200 people jumped to their deaths to avoid being killed by the fires on 9/11 Terror: An estimated 200 people jumped to their deaths to avoid being killed by the fires on 9/11 For those who have discovered that their loved ones may have been among the estimated 200 or more who plunged to their deaths, this uncomfortable official reticence can only compound the suffering they have already endured. University administrator Jack Gentul cannot possibly imagine his late wifes torment before she died. Alayne Gentul, mother of two and the 44-year-old vice president of an investment company, was in the South Tower and had gone up to the 97th floor to help evacuate staff after the other tower was hit. In her final moments, she rang Jack to say in labouring breaths that smoke was coming into her room through vents. She said Im scared, he tells me quietly. She wasnt a person who got scared, and I said, Honey, itll be all right, itll be all right, youll get down. Alayne Gentuls remains were found in the street outside the building across from the tower sufficiently far from the rubble to suggest she had jumped. Mr Gentul, who has since remarried, is not convinced she took that option but is clearly irked that some believe jumping was some sort of cop-out. She was a very practical person who would have done whatever she could to survive, he explains in a

Mr. President, Please Get Your Feet Off the Desk! by Keith Koffler on March 11, 2011, 10:22 am It must be a sign of the tone deafness of this White House that they keep releasing photos – White House photographer-taken photos – of President Obama with his feet on the Oval Office furniture. Here’s a photo montage of the president not minding his manners. http://www.whitehousedossier.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Obama-feet-up-montage.jpg Obama with his feet up on the desk If you’re wondering, yes, the desk you see him with his dirty shoes on is the historic Resolute Desk, made from the timbers of the British Frigate HMS Resolute and given as a gift to the United States by Queen Victoria in 1856. It’s been used by many presidents, including Franklin D. Roosevelt and every chief executive since Jimmy Carter. But it is perhaps best known for this: Yup, the very same desk cherished by so many for its depiction with the two doomed John F. Kennedys. Mr. President, get your feet off this desk.

[osint] Iran's Direct and Material Involvement in 9/11
Iran's Dirty 9/11 Secrets Posted By Kenneth R. Timmerman On September 9, 2011 @ 12:20 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage | 3 Comments http://frontpagemag.com/2011/09/09/iran%e2%80%99s-dirty-911-secrets/print/# comments_controls It has taken nearly ten years, but the real story of Iran's direct, material involvement in the 9/11 conspiracy is finally coming to light. And it's being revealed not by the U.S. government or by Congressional investigators but by private attorneys representing families of the 9/11 victims in U.S. District Court. Just one week before the 9/11 Commission sent its final report to the printers in July 2004, diligent staffers discovered a six-page classified National Security Agency analysis summarizing what the U.S. intelligence community had learned about Iran's assistance to the 9/11 hijackers. They happened upon the document by chance. It had been tucked away at the bottom of the last box in the last stack of classified documents they were reviewing. But it was so explosive that several Commissioners pushed hard to make sure the information it contained was included in the final report, despite intense push back from the intelligence community. The page and a half section that made the final cut (see pages 240-241 http://information.iran911case.com/Exhibit_1.pdf ) details repeated trips to Iran by 8-10 of the muscle hijackers between October 2000 and February 2001. Flying in from Saudi Arabia, Damascus, and Beirut, the future hijackers were accompanied by senior Hezbollah operatives who were in fact agents of the Iranian regime. The information was so explosive that the CIA lobbied hard to get it expunged from the final report, in part because they had detected some of the movements as they were occurring but failed to appreciate their import. They saw them as travel through Iran, not travel to Iran, a senior 9/11 Commission staffer told me at the time. By the time the staffers had read into the 75 source documents on a Sunday morning out at NSA headquarters at Fort Meade, MD, the Commission was pushing up against the end of its mandate and could not do any additional work. The information was so serious and had such clear geopolitical import that it requires further investigation by the U.S. government, they concluded. Many of the Commissions and senior staff who were aware of the document find assumed someone else would pick up the ball. But as attorney Thomas Mellon, Jr. and his colleagues representing Fiona Havlish and other 9/11 widows and family members discovered, no such investigation was ever carried out. Not even the Congressional intelligence committees would go near the subject, despite direct appeals from the Havlish plaintiffs and a review of many of the original still-classified documents cited in the report. I was engaged by the Havlish attorneys in 2004 to carry out the investigation the 9/11 Commission report called on the U.S. government to handle. We had no governmental authority, hardly any budget, and no access to classified intelligence or intelligence assets. But what we found and made public starting this May is enough to hang a fish. Put simply: . The Islamic Republic of Iran helped design the 9/11 plot; . provided intelligence support to identify and train the operatives who carried it out; . allowed the future hijackers to evade U.S. and Pakistani surveillance on key trips to Afghanistan where they received the final order of mission from Osama bin Laden, by escorting them through Iranian borders without passport stamps; . evacuated hundreds of top al Qaeda operatives from Afghanistan to Iran after the 9/11 just as U.S. forces launched their offensive; . provided safe haven and continued financial support to al Qaeda cadres for years after 9/11; . allowed al Qaeda to use Iran as an operational base for additional terror attacks, in particular the May 2003 bombings in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Key elements of our proofs are in bullet points at the end of this article. http://www.kentimmerman.com/news/2011_05_19-Havlish-Iran-links-lawsuit.htm For those wishing a more detailed account, here is a partially-redacted affidavit http://information.iran911case.com/Exhibit_2.pdf I provided to the Court that traces the Islamic Republic of Iran's relationship al Qaeda back to the early 1990s. Panic at CIA As the Havlish case was getting closer to making its information public last year, certain old guard elements within the CIA went into a panic mode, apparently worried that their failure to act on indicators and warnings in 2000 and 2001 would come to light and ruin their post-Agency careers. I can now reveal that they made several attempts to suborn two of the Havlish witnesses who were located overseas. In the first attempt, in August 2010, an individual presenting himself as a CIA official, told our witness that the Agency wanted to break the Havlish litigation against the Islamic Republic of Iran, and considered the witness's testimony to be
[osint] NATO's Total Reliance on US for Operations
http://tinyurl.com/455vygd September 09, 2011 NATO Notes Reliance on US for Operations http://waronterrornews.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551d9d3fd883301543534ed4d970c-po pup EuropeNATO: U.S. Capabilities Vital for Allies By Cheryl Pellerin AFPS WASHINGTON, Sept. 6, 2011 - NATO-led operations in Libya show NATO forces are flexible, open and strong, and also demonstrate the need for critical capabilities such as the unmanned aircraft supplied by the United States, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said today. This was the first alliance operation where European allies and Canada took the lead, and the alliance got the job done, Rasmussen told reporters during a briefing in Brussels on what NATO calls Operation Unified Protector. European allies and Canada led the air force, he added, but this mission could not have been done without capabilities which only the United States can offer. For example, drones, intelligence and refueling aircraft. Such capabilities are critical for all NATO allies, Rasmussen said, and include transport and strategic airlift capacity. More allies should be willing to obtain [such capabilities] and that is a real challenge, he added. We will have to find the solutions at the next NATO summit in Chicago. At the Lisbon Summit in Nov. 2010, NATO presented its third Strategic Concept since the end of the Cold War, defining the alliance's 11 strategic priorities for investment over the next decade, including missile and cyber defense, and counter-IED technology. From now until the May 2012 summit in Chicago, Rasmussen said, we will try to identify a number of areas in which a group of countries could pool and share resources. Then in Chicago, he said, hopefully, we can identify a number of elite nations that would carry forward these projects, building on the priorities named in Lisbon. It will be a comprehensive defense package that will contribute to making more efficient use of our resources, Rasmussen said, but also aim at narrowing the economic and technological gap between the United States and Europe. That's my ambition. In addition to highlighting such gaps, Operation Unified Protector shows the flexibility, openness and strength of NATO forces, the secretary-general said. Though the operation is not over, it has an unprecedented United Nations mandate -- the responsibility to protect the Libyan people -- and NATO has implemented the mandate with unprecedented precision, Rasmussen said. No comparable air operation in history has been so accurate and so careful in avoiding harm to civilians, he added, noting that the operation in five months has degraded a war machine that took more than 40 years to build. NATO and our partners will be there as long as we are needed but not one minute longer, he said. When we assess that the threat is over for good, we will conclude Operation Unified Protector. I cannot give a precise date, but I believe it will come soon. NATO began the operation on March 31 with the aim of protecting civilians and civilian-populated areas under attack or threat of attack by Libyan leader Moammar Ghaddafi's military. According to NATO, the mission consists of an arms embargo, a no-fly zone and actions to protect civilians. Since the operation's start, NATO allies have conducted 21,662 sorties, including 8,140 strike sorties. NATO's operations commander is Canadian air force Lt. Gen. Charles Bouchard, who operates with his staff from the Allied Joint Force Command in Naples. To support the arms embargo, 15 ships under NATO command are patrolling the central Mediterranean. They have hailed 2,500 vessels, boarding 258 and denying passage to 11. Also since March 31, NATO has recorded 949 air, ground and maritime movements by international humanitarian assistance organizations to bring food, water and medical aid to the Libyan people. It is now [time] for the Libyan people to shape their future, the secretary-general said. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -- Want to discuss this topic?

[osint] Terror Threat in DC/NYC
Note: al-Qaeda and most terrorist organizations do not attack on anniversaries.as they KNOW the West values anniversary dates and mistakenly anticipates anniversary attacks and increase security at these times. Muslims do not even use the same calendar as the rest of the world, so THEIR dates of anniversaries are not the same as the Western dates each year. If the details of the threat are so well known, why not share them with the world? Why is the secret kept from the American public? The terrorists know the details of their attack; the US Government knows the details of the attack. The terrorists, thanks to the ignorant commentary by US Officials, know that the US Government knows.From Whom is the government keeping the details then? and Why? B http://tinyurl.com/4yo99az September 09, 2011 Terror Threat in DC/NYC US Intelligence Agencies have released information that Pakistan based terrorist organizations have stated an intent to attack Washington DC and New York in the days surrounding the 10th Anniversary of 9/11. The threat is specific in cities targeted and type. The information released indicates the terrorist threat is by car bomb. The specific cities mentioned are Washington DC and New York City. This does not mean that other cities are not at risk. Sketchier is the group behind the threat: potentially the Pakistani Taliban or Al-Qaeda, while other terrorist groups also operate in the lawless tribal areas of Pakistan identified as the area from which the plot was hatched. Also sketchy, according to the information released, is if or how many potential terrorist operatives are already within the country, with one news source stating it was as few as 5-10. For obvious reasons, the intelligence agencies did not release statements as to specific source of their information, the scope of the information they do or don't know, or if they know the names of those involved. The military increased its threat level yesterday, due to the heightened potential of attacks around the anniversaries of previous attacks.

[osint] Missing In Action: All-American Courage
http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.10336/pub_detail.asp September 9, 2011 Missing In Action: All-American Courage Since 9/11, we've wallowed in hysteria and fear. http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/authors/id.192/author_detail.asp Ralph Peters Print This javascript:%20printVersion() E-mail This javascript:%20emailVersion() javascript:void(0); http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/images/share.png ShareThis javascript:void(0); Comments (1) http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/comments.asp?id=10336 http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/imgLib/20110112_RALPHPETERSBANNER.jpg Why have conservatives become such captives of fear? Before 9/11, conservatism stood for stalwart courage and confidence in the United States of America. Across the past decade, however, we succumbed to a weird mania that wildly exaggerates threats and revels in our purported strategic vulnerability to furtive religious perverts sinking along with their doomed civilization. The enthusiasm with which many of my fellow conservatives paint militant Islam as a mighty movement capable of a takeover of Europe and America is a grotesque wallow in political masochism. Islam is on the ropes of history, battered, bleeding and disfigured. And it's never going to be a contender again. Yet, many Americans appear determined to cower in our corner of the ring. It's baffling: We're winning in every possible respect, but tell ourselves we're losing. http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/imgLib/20110522_OsamaWatching.jpg Certainly, Islamist terrorists remain deadly. But we're much, much deadlier. Since our national humiliation on September 11th, 2001, we've slaughtered terrorists by the thousands around the world, including almost all of al Qaeda's top leaders. Muslims overwhelmingly have turned against al Qaeda, and the organization's popularity in today's Middle East is lower than Casey Anthony's in Florida. Before his well-deserved death, Osama bin Laden himself had been reduced to a prematurely aged pornography hound confined to a virtual prison where he was afraid to walk around in his own courtyard. Al Qaeda Central has been shattered. Regional franchises struggle to remain relevant amid popular revolutions that have left the terrorists behind as yesterday's men. In Europe, teetering elites can no longer contain the people's rage at left-wing multiculturalist farces. Here in our own country, radical Islam is little more than a last resort for losers, surviving only among prison inmates, isolated sociopaths and eroding lobbying organizations--and in mosques funded by Saudi Arabia's degenerate royals (who are terrified that American freedoms will transform their stunted faith). We've made mistakes. First, we took terrorists prisoner who should have been killed on the spot. Second, Ivy-League-poisoned Washington officials and our irresponsible media invented legal and human rights for subhuman monsters. Third, instead of settling for effective, efficient punitive expeditions that butchered our enemies and left instructive ruins in our wake, a Republican administration decided that we could rebuild feckless, failed Muslim societies in our own image-a notion as pointless as it has been colossally wasteful. But let's get a grip. Taking stock of the events of the last decade, we should be proud of the stunning effect our military, our intelligence services and our law-enforcement organizations have had, as well as of the knock-on effects of our policies. Al Qaeda can still kill-mostly fellow Muslims--but can no longer shake the world. When not restrained by political correctness, our might terrorizes the terrorists. And one after another, the dictators and terrorist potentates whose oppression generated countless recruits for al Qaeda and other terrorist groups have fallen or are struggling to survive: Saddam Hussein, Hosni Mubarak (who was not our friend), Muammar Qaddafi, and Bashar al Assad. Except in Iraq, which has been abandoned by our current president, Iran's influence is collapsing beyond its borders, with its sole Arab ally, Syria, under siege from its own people and both Hezbollah and Hamas refusing to obey Tehran's command to condemn the Syrian protesters. Contrary to still more reflexive hysteria among conservatives, Israel will be far safer with a new regime in Syria, no matter its make-up. It's been a terrific decade for the good guys. Yet, we're relentlessly glum about our security. That may be good business for unscrupulous defense contractors and our 24/7 media, but it's neither sensible nor healthy for our country. Under President George W. Bush, conservatives championed democracy and freedom in the Arab world. Iraq was supposed to be an example that would spark regional change.

UK: Tower Hamlets - Not Just Another Peaceful EDL Demo In the run up to the EDL demonstration we saw http://englishdefenceleague.org/banning-the-edl-march-in-tower-hamlets-send s-out-completely-the-wrong-message/ the march banned, we saw the EDL http://sheikyermami.com/2011/08/30/the-beep-does-another-hatchet-job-on-the -edl/ misrepresented and attacked in the press, we faced scaremongering from the far-Left and then, at the last minute, we were forced to http://englishdefenceleague.org/tower-hamlet/ change our plans due to the http://www.socialistworker.co.uk/art.php?id=25909 threat of strikes by the RMT Union. And yet, despite all this, despite the efforts to sabotage our demonstration, and despite the frustrations that must have been felt, we managed to hold a peaceful protest. To everyone who attended - thank you. If you like this article, please subscribe to our daily newsletter http://rightsidenews.us1.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=1cf0488db68779540d6924 66fid=80b67972fb No_Sharia_in_Western_LandsJust two weeks after we embarrassed scaremongering local councilors in Telford by holding an entirely peaceful protest http://englishdefenceleague.org/march-banned-footie-cancelled-shops-shutter ed/ , we've once again proved that we have no desire to cause trouble, just a desire to exercise our democratic right to protest. There will be some critics who will continue to point to the efforts of the police as the only reason why there was only very few minor incidents. It is important to remember that alongside them, EDL Stewards did a fantastic job keeping an eye out for any potential trouble makers, and handed a couple of individuals over to the police. But in battling to ensure a peaceful protest our focus was not on the need to control any unruly EDL supporters. Instead, our main focus was on combating the ludicrious (and dangerous) fabrications being spread by far-Left activists, fascists and radical Muslims: claims that we were intending to assault Muslims, that we were telling our supporters to attack Mosques, etc, etc.Behind the scenes we worked to disprove these accusations, and up and down the country our Division Leaders made sure that no one was under any illusions that our intentions would be anything other than peaceful. If these accusations had any grounding in reality, we would have hoped that those making them would have informed the police, rather than incite trouble. As it happened, the police did receive intelligence that suggested that there might be parties in attendance who were intent on violence. But what the BBC, for one, may have failed to make clear was that these parties were not on the EDL side. No wonder Scotland Yard's National Co-ordinator for Domestic Extremism, Adrian Tudway, recently stated http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/sep/02/english-defence-league-muslims-pol ice that the EDL are not extreme, and that Muslim groups would do well to engage with us. (below: EDL Supporters Cross the Iconic Tower Bridge) Tower_Hamlets__Not_Just_Another_Peaceful_EDL_DemoPerhaps if they understood some of the reasons http://englishdefenceleague.org/10-reasons-to-demonstrate-in-tower-hamlets/ why we were in Tower Hamlets, then hostility from the Muslim community could be avoided. Dialogue, as we will continue to say http://englishdefenceleague.org/tommy-robinson-challenges-david-cameron-to- a-live-debate/ , is far more effective at ensuring 'community cohesion' than listening to provocateurs who claim that the only reasons we demonstrate are to divide communities, 'spread hatred', or incite violence. What an offensive thing to claim and, ironically, what an effective way of encouraging conflict. The ability to exercise our democratic right to peaceful protest, in the face of people who would rather it were taken away, is of particular importance. Large numbers did come out in opposition to the EDL demonstration, but there will always be those who oppose freedom, or who are deceived by manipulative radical activists. Of the individuals present at the counter-demonstration, there was at least one man who may have had good reasons for opposing the EDL demonstration. He was Tower Hamlets Mayor Lutfur Rahman - the man sacked from the Labour Party because of his links with Islamic extremists

On Thursday, Western negotiators at the U.N. caved in to the demands of envoys from Islamic states to renew a modern-day form of the decades-long U.N. smear campaign alleging that the Jewish state is racist. Diplomats agreed on a new “anti-racism” declaration that went public Friday at noon. The document is intended to be adopted by all the heads of state and government in attendance at the U.N. “Durban III” conference to be held in New York City on September 22. So far, nine democratic countries, including the United States, Israel, and Canada, have decided to boycott the event and will not agree to the racist “anti-racism” manifesto. The final sticking point in negotiations, conducted at U.N. headquarters over the last two months, was whether the original Durban Declaration adopted in 2001 in Durban, South Africa, would be reaffirmed. Passed just three days before 9/11, with the enthusiastic participation of Yasser Arafat, the Durban Declaration grossly discriminates against Israel — the only one of 192 UN members charged with racism in the document. On Thursday, Islamic states led by Benin, as well as South Africa and the rest of the bloc of developing states called the G-77 — which constitutes a majority of UN members — held firm to their demand to reaffirm the whole message of the 2001 declaration. Western opposition fell apart. The document therefore reads: “We heads of state and government … reaffirm our political commitment to the full and effective implementation of the Durban Declaration.” The document also catapults the Durban Declaration and its racist-Israel libel into the center of the U.N.’s “anti-racism” agenda. It “reaffirms” — actually for the first time — that the Durban Declaration is “a comprehensive framework and solid foundation” for combating racism. It downgrades the relative status of the U.N. racism treaty, which has been on the books for 46 years; negotiators refused to repeat even the 2009 Durban II statement that the treaty was “the principal international instrument to prevent, combat and eradicate racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance” or to call for the treaty’s universal ratification. Non-parties to the U.N. racism treaty include the likes of Angola, Malaysia, North Korea, and Burma/Myanmar. In U.N. backrooms Thursday, Islamic states and South Africa taunted the weakness of Western negotiators. South Africa said: “You say you want to commemorate the ten years of the existence of that document, but you don’t want to reaffirm it … Come to terms with the fact that you are celebrating ten years of the existence of a document.” Indeed, the goal of the entire spectacle is now unmistakably set out in the new declaration’s opening words: “We heads of state … gathered at the UN Headquarters … to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the adoption of the Durban Declaration.” It will be a celebration of a conference best remembered for handing anti-Semitism a global stage. What happens next? The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, a native of Durban and lead champion of the “anti-racism” sham, will begin to parade the new declaration as a contribution to the equal protection of human rights. Prior to Durban II, Pillay audaciously told reporters: “The Durban Declaration transcended divisive and intolerant approaches.” The one and only head of state to attend Durban II in Geneva was the tolerant Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. And as soon as the conference adopted an “outcome document,” Pillay held a news conference calling the event “a success story” and pointing to the language which related specifically to Palestinians. Pillay is well known as the U.N.’s top salesman of the notorious Goldstone report, which she continues to push despite the main author’s having retracted the central allegations against Israel. Not surprisingly, therefore, Pillay has been issuing statements calling objections to Durban III “political distractions” “from the
[osint] Bold New Approach to Foreign Policy
http://www.newswithviews.com/Eakman/beverly159.htm BOLD NEW APPROACH TO FOREIGN POLICY by Beverly Eakman September 9, 2011 NewsWithViews.com Last week (September 1), columnist Merrill Matthews asked, What is a conservative foreign policy? http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/sep/1/matthews-what-is-a-conservat ive-foreign-policy/print in a Washington Times commentary. He cited various U.S. Presidents and wannabes as far back as Ronald Reagan, many of whom had no vision at all, or whose goals devolved into nation-building. The upshot of his musings was that conservatives have largely avoided a real foreign policy debate for decades. Ronald Reagan is the only President in recent times to articulate a specific vision - i.e., challenging Soviet expansionism and restoring the strength of, and respect for, the U.S. and its military, to which the left predictably howled Cowboy Diplomacy! Today, candidate Ron Paul decries all forms of intervention, decrying what Thomas Jefferson described as entangling alliances. Given our present predicament, this view has a certain appeal. Nevertheless, there is a void. Most conservative candidates do indeed appear reluctant to fill it - possibly for fear of provoking the liberal media, and even their own assortment of sometime-allies. And let's be honest: the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration have done more to make Americans angry than to make them safe. Yet, avoiding the topic does nothing to portray conservatives as bold action figures with innovative ideas. At least President Reagan's Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall! and the Strategic Defense Initiative were memorable, from a public-relations standpoint. The following, then, is a proposal for a vastly altered, unambiguous U.S. foreign policy message which reflects 21st century fiscal and domestic realities. Some aspects echo candidate Ron Paul's statements, with a few important deviations: The United States has exactly zero interest in appending foreign territory or people. We have quite enough individuals flocking to our shores as it is - from asylum-seekers to opportunity-seekers to entitlement-seekers. We are, however, committed to defending our nation and our citizens from harm, including those employed overseas. The United States therefore sends this message to the world: Do not make us go to war with you! If you attack our country, its properties, its Territories or its private citizens going about their business in foreign lands, we will consider that an Act of War and respond forcefully. You will not win. We are light-years ahead of you technologically; we have the best-prepared armed force on the planet. Attack us, and your country will be leveled. We can, and will, demand unconditional surrender so that your people, formally sanctioned by your government or not, will not attack us again. This means no more nation-building. No more attempts to buy good will by providing America's enemies state-of-the-art infrastructures that we cannot afford for ourselves. If you, or your proxies, commit what we have defined as an Act of War upon the United States, then you will sit in your own rubble - if you survive. There will be no more pre-emptive police actions, no undeclared wars to serve as a warning. Regarding humanitarian aid: Our nation's many charitable organizations are free to offer services, accepting the risks and expenses of such endeavors from donations. The U.S. Government will neither hinder nor help such efforts. Humanitarian projects are, by definition, philanthropic. Therefore, the U.S. Government will no longer confiscate (steal) money from citizens, who may not wish to donate to specialized philanthropic causes. Such effort must be entirely voluntary - with one caveat, for which a tax break will be provided to any requesting charity (lest this stipulation be seen as an unfunded mandate): Any materiel used in a humanitarian effort, whether from natural disasters (e.g., famines, earthquakes) or war-caused displacement, sickness and ruin, will dispatch no supplies or literature that are not embossed with the donating organization's logo, clearly visible, as well as a U.S. flag. This action serves to curtail the practice of foreign outlaws appropriating American-made goods for re-transmittal under their own name. As for propping up regimes deemed friendly to the U.S. or its interests, including the legions of staff we send to fragile and unstable nations to help construct Constitutions, safeguard voting rights and implement democracy: The United States is no longer in the business of imposing a specific type of government on inhabitants of other nations. After nearly 70 years, we now recognize that each country must be ready to move to representative government and democracy; it cannot be forced from without. Nor can the United States police the entire world - even in the face of what we view as grave tragedies - in the misplaced hope that
[osint] Thank You, America, for the Golden Age of Islam
http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0911/west090911.php3?printer_friendly Thank you, America, for the golden age of Islam By Diana West http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | It is something to have gone 10 years without an Islamic attack of similarly gigantic proportions to those of Sept. 11, 2001, but it is not enough. That's because the decade we look back on is marked by a specifically Islamic brand of security from jihad. It was a security bought by the Bush and Obama administrations' policies of appeasement based in apology for, and irrational denial of, Islam's war doctrine, its anti-liberty laws and its non-Western customs. As a result of this policy of appeasement -- submission -- we now stand poised on the brink of a golden age. Tragically for freedom of speech, conscience and equality before the law, however, it is an Islamic golden age. It's not just the post-9/11 rush into Western society of Islamic tenets and traditions on everything from law to finance to diet that has heralded this golden age, although that's part of it. More important is the fact that our central institutions have actively primed themselves for it, having absorbed and implemented the central codes of Islam in the years since the 9/11 attacks, exactly as the jihadists hoped and schemed. Take the U.S. military, symbol plus enforcer of American security. In Afghanistan, our forces are now trained on the sanctity of the holy book (the Quran) and go to significant steps to protect it, as the official International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) website reported last year. Are they similarly trained to take significant steps to protect other books? Hardly. It's reckless and irresponsible to demand that troops make the protection of any book a priority in a war zone. But it's not merely the case that U.S. troops have become protectors of the Quran in the decade following 9/11. Never talk badly about the Qu'ran or its contents, ISAF ordered troops earlier this year. Did the Pentagon restrict language about Mein Kampf or the Communist Manifesto? They, too, were blueprints for world conquest that the United States opposed. Of course not. But the Quran is different. It is protected by Islamic law, and that's enough for the Pentagon. Not incidentally, ISAF further cautioned troops to direct suspects to remove any Qurans from the vicinity before troops conduct a search -- no doubt for the unstated fear that infidel troops might defile the protected book. None may touch the Qu'ran except in the state of ritual purity, the Islamic law book Reliance of the Traveller declares. And ritual purity, naturally, is a state a non-Muslim can never, ever achieve under Islam. Since when did Uncle Sam incorporate Islamic law into military protocols? Since 9/11. Now take the State Department, symbol and nerve center of U.S. action on the world stage. In July, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced a collaborative effort between the United States and the OIC, newly repackaged as Organization of the Islamic Cooperation. (It used to be C for Conference.) The get-together planned for Washington, D.C., is supposed to implement a non-binding resolution against religious stereotyping (read: Islamic stereotyping) that passed last March at the U.N. Human Rights Council. Such stereotyping, of course, includes everything from honest assessments of the links between Islamic doctrine and Islamic terrorism to political cartoons. This makes this U.S.-led international effort nothing short of a sinister attempt to snuff free speech about Islam. And that sure sounds like a U.S.-co-chaired assault on the First Amendment. Not only is this treachery on the part of the U.S. government, it also happens to be part and parcel of the OIC's official 10-year-plan. Since when did Uncle Sam get in the business of doing the bidding of the OIC? Since 9/11. This is just a snapshot of what the rush toward Islamization as a goal of national policy looks like, 10 years since the Twin Towers collapsed in a colossal cloud of dust and fire. The air has cleared, but the appeasement and the Islamization go on. Thus, a golden age begins, but unless we throw off this mental yoke of submission, it cannot be our own. http://ads.doclix.com/adserver/serve/img/ad_img/default1m.pngProtect Your Community!Earn A Criminal Justice DegreeLearn More Today!

[osint] The Mullahs Ruling Iran Are Not Iranians
http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.10330/pub_detail.asp September 8, 2011 The Mullahs Ruling Iran Are Not Iranians http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/authors/id.157/author_detail.asp Amil Imani Print This javascript:%20printVersion() E-mail This javascript:%20emailVersion() javascript:void(0); http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/images/share.png ShareThis javascript:void(0); Comments (16) http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/comments.asp?id=10330 http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/imgLib/20110524_IranCrescent.jpg Being Iranian is defined by a state of mind, not by a place of residence. The barbaric Islamist mullahs and their mercenaries presently ruling Iran are not Iranians. They are Islamofascists who have betrayed their magnificent heritage and have enlisted themselves in the service of a most oppressive, discriminating, and demeaning ideology. Iranians are proud spiritual descendants of King Cyrus the Great, the author of the first charter of human rights. Some of Cyrus' children live in the patch of land called Iran. The overwhelming majority-free humans with human beliefs-live in every country, city, and village of the earth. These world-wide people, one and all, irrespective of nationality, color, or creed are Iranians because they all adhere to the Cyrus Charter; they practice and defend its lofty tenets; and, transfer this precious humanity's treasure to the next generation. Unequivocal genetic findings have clearly established that biologically there is only one human race; that the genetic variation within a single troop of chimpanzees, for instance, is greater than that of any two human groupings, no matter how different they may appear physically. What makes people different is not their biology, but the software that runs them. There is ample proof to support the above assertion. A case in point is the present menace posed by the people whose life is programmed by the software of Islam: an ideology anathema to the Cyrus Charter. And the results are self-evident. Hate, superstition, violence, and a raft of other inhuman beliefs drives these religious fascists. These captive followers of the primitive Islamic Charter are both the perpetrators and the victims of much suffering. The result is backward Islamic societies that are intent at dragging the rest of the world into the same sorry state. Misery likes company, it is said. We recognize that the dysfunctional Islamic software is deeply engrained in the minds of many Muslims who opt to remain in mental bondage rather than purge their minds of the Islamic software and join the rest of the human family with a new emancipating program for life-liberty. Islamic clergy, the parasitic prime beneficiaries of Islam, are master practitioners of the carrot and stick strategy. By drawing heavily from the Quran and the Hadith, the conniving mullahs and imams have assembled a potent arsenal of threats and promises to keep the faithful in line. They had little trouble in so doing, since Islamic scripture is replete with graphic horrific punishment awaiting the wayward and the unbelievers, while the rewards for the obedient docile, if he is male, are described as endless variety of sensual pleasures. Anyone daring to leave the corral of Islam is apostate and automatically condemned to death. And that's just for starters. The punishment awaiting the ungrateful deserter of the one and only true path, Islam threatens, is a raft of horrific eternal torment in Allah's hell. And for the true faithful-the mindless robot-the promised rewards, all physical pleasures, are infinite and eternal. In spite of these horrid threats and empty promises, more and more people are beginning to recognize Islam for what it is. It is difficult, but not impossible to leave the fraudulent Islam's captivity. Hundreds of thousands have done so successfully and have enjoyed the blessings of liberty. A great threat facing free people is the recently petrodollar energized Islam embarking on a campaign of recruiting more people under its dark banner. Millions of disenfranchised underclass in the non-Islamic world, and millions more mentally under-developed may flock to Islam, deluded by its empty promises. Islam is no longer in its own self-made cage. It has broken out and has established powerful presence in much of the non-Islamic world. Islam is a charter of submission. It is a sworn enemy of freedom and views the Cyrus Charter as heresy. Freedom and tyranny are incompatible. Free people must do all they can to preserve their birthright of liberty and assist others to break from the bondage of Islamic captivity. The interdependent world community faces great challenges that demand a united effort, uncompromisingly based on justice, to meet the various ills it faces. We can no longer be complacent about events in distant world affecting alien people. Distances are bridged
[osint] Muslim Briefcase Bomb Kills 11 in India's Capital
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/sep/7/briefcase-bomb-kills-11-india -capital/ Briefcase bomb kills 11 in India's capital Pakistan-based al-Qaeda affiliate demands repeal of militant's death sentence By Sujoy Dhar - Special to The Washington Times Wednesday, September 7, 2011 NEW DELHI - An al Qaeda http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/al-qaeda/ -linked terror group claimed responsibility for a briefcase bomb that killed at least 11 people and injured more than 65 others when it exploded Wednesday morning outside a New Delhi courthouse. The Pakistan http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/pakistan/ -based militant group Harkat-ul-Jihadi http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/harkat-ul-jihadi/ claimed responsibility for the deadly explosion in an email to Indian media demanding clemency for a terrorist on death row. India http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/india/ 's main opposition political party, the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/bharatiya-janata-party/ , said the bombing could be linked to the approaching anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/manmohan-singh/ urged all Indians to come together to defeat terrorism. This is a cowardly act. We will deal with it, we will not succumb to pressure of terrorism, he said in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/bangladesh/ , where he was on a bilateral visit. http://www.washingtontimes.com/multimedia/image/india-blast_livejpg/ Indian police secure the scene of a blast outside the High Court in New Delhi on Sept. 7, 2011. A bomb apparently hidden in a briefcase exploded outside a gate crowded with petitioners waiting to enter the building. (Associated Press)Indian police secure the scene of a blast outside the High Court in New Delhi on Sept. 7, 2011. A bomb apparently hidden in a briefcase exploded outside a gate crowded with petitioners waiting to enter the building. (Associated Press) This is a long war in which all political parties, all people of India http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/india/ should stand united so that the scourge of terrorism is crushed, Mr. Singh http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/manmohan-singh/ said. Federal officials said it was too early to determine who was behind the bombing, the deadliest attack in this nation's capital in almost three years. The blast followed coordinated bomb attacks in July that killed 26 people in Mumbai. U.K. Bansal http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/agrawal/ , special secretary for internal security, said the bomb created a large crater in front of the courthouse and noted that two of the injured were in very critical condition. He said a preliminary examination of the blast site and the bomb's remnants suggest that nitrate-based components with traces of PETN were used. PETN is a hard-to-detect explosive that was used in the attempted 2001 shoe-bomb and 2009 underwear-bomb airliner attacks in the U.S. Police said the explosion was caused by a homemade bomb and released sketches of a suspect. India http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/india/ issued a nationwide alert after the blast, and security was heightened across the country, especially in key places such as airports, railway stations and utilities. The bomb exploded near Gate No. 5 of the High Court http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/high-court/ , which is about 2 miles from the Indian parliament http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/parliament-of-india/ building. The blast occurred outside the High Court http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/high-court/ in the public area where unchecked people come, a senior police official said. Apparently the bomb was in a briefcase. As the bomb exploded, people covered in blood were seen running for their lives. I saw several dismembered bodies. There were people with severed limbs crying in pain, an eyewitness said. The Harkat-ul-Jihadi http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/harkat-ul-jihadi/ terror group said in an email: We owe the responsibility of today's blasts at high court delhi .. our demand is that Afzal Guru http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/afzal-guru/ 's death sentence should be repealed immediately else we would target major high courts The Supreme Court of India http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/india/ . India http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/india/ 's Supreme Court different from High Court http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/high-court/ issued a death sentence for Afzal Guru http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/afzal-guru/ , who hails from the disputed Kashmir region, which India http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/india/ controls, for his role in the attack on the Indian parliament http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/parliament-of-india/ in 2001.

[osint] FW: It Ain't Funny, Mohammed
https://staticapp.icpsc.com/icp/loadimage.php/mogile/162528/c8b7123387dbc7951f8a980113cc66c6/image/jpeg It Ain’t Funny, Mohammed There is a troupe of Muslim comedians who have been touring the South to counter the stereotypical view of Muslims. They contend that these stereotypes are the core of the cancer that is American Islamophobia. All the shows are free and it is a national tour with heavy publicity. Should there be a follow-the-money question about who is paying the hundred thousand dollars for the propaganda tour? But there is a great deal of truth about the idea of a stereotype. The true stereotype of Islam is Mohammed. He is declared in 91 verses in the Koran to be the divine human prototype, the perfect being and the sacred model of a pious life. We find him in the Sira (his biography) and the Hadith (his traditions). Guess what? There is a doctrine of humor to found in Islamic doctrine. This should be no surprise, given that the Islamic doctrine is the basis for their civilization. Here are some of the moments of laughter in Mohammed’s life take from the Hadith and the Sira: Muslim 031, 5932: … [At the battle of Uhud]… Mohammed said to Saed: Shoot an arrow, may my mother and father be taken as ransom for you. Saed drew an arrow and shot a featherless arrow at the Meccan’s side and he fell down and his private parts were exposed. I saw Mohammed’s front teeth when he laughed. Muslim 019, 4450: … I said: Mohammed, let me select from our people one hundred men and I will follow the marauders and I will kill them all. Mohammed laughed so much that his molar teeth could be seen in the light of the fire, and he said: Salama, do you think you can do this? I said: Yes, …. Bukhari 8, 74, 299: ... Mohammed woke up with a smile. 'What makes you laugh, O Allah's Apostle?' He said, 'In my dream some Muslims were displayed before me as jihadists sailing over this sea, like kings on thrones.’ Umayya: 'Now I had bound my prisoner's thumbs with my bowstring, and when Mohammed looked at him he laughed so that one could see his back teeth. He asked my news and when I told him how I had killed a Kafir by pushing my bow through his eye into his brain, he blessed me.' [1] By God, we only met some bald old women like the sacrificial camels who are hobbled, and we slaughtered them!' The apostle smiled and said, 'But, nephew, those were the Kafir chiefs.' [2] ‘Mohammed, what makes the Lord laugh with joy at His servant?' Mohammed answered, 'When he plunges into the midst of the enemy without armor.' Auf drew off his armor and threw it away: then he seized his sword and fought the enemy till he was slain. [3] A common phrase from both the Koran and Mohammed is: Bukhari 8, 76, 492: Mohammed said, If you knew what I know you would laugh little and weep much. We can see that what makes Mohammed laugh a little, makes us weep much. And what makes Mohammed laugh in these quotes? Brutality and cruelty to Kafirs made Mohammed laugh and smile. Mohammed found cruelty to Kafirs (non-Muslims) funny, but we Kafirs had better never find anything about Mohammed humorous. Have you ever heard a Mohammed joke? There are Jesus jokes, Moses jokes, God jokes and Saint Peter jokes, but in 1400 years there has never been a Mohammed joke. Why? Why isn’t Mohammed funny? There are no Mohammed jokes because of the Islamic reasoning or logic. Islamic reasoning is pure authoritarian. But there is an even better reason that we don’t have any Mohammed jokes. Jokes point out our errors and flaws. There are 91 Koran verses that say that Mohammed is the perfect man to be followed in the smallest detail by all Muslims at all times. If Mohammed is not perfect, then why imitate him? If the joke points out error or flaws, then the keystone of Islam is flawed. The joke performs the logical task of isolating error. If the joke is based on any reality (and they all are, or they would not be funny) then Mohammed has flaws. That would mean that a Muslim has to start using reasoning to sort out Mohammed’s errors. So the joke destroys the entire edifice of authoritarian reasoning and opens up Islam to critical thought. Since Mohammed must remain the perfect pattern, then no jokes may be allowed. Humor is an excellent acid test for the type of reasoning that is used. Authoritarian systems never allow humor directed at the authorities. Nobody told Stalin jokes. Joke: An American was visiting a Russian during the Cold War. They fell to arguing about who had the better political system. The American said, “Let me show how good American politics are.” He tore out a photo of Nixon in a magazine and threw it into the trash and said, “To hell with Nixon. Can you do that?” The Russian said, “Sure.” And he took the photo of Nixon, wadded it up and threw it out the window and yelled to the world, “To hell with Nixon.” Then he said, “See, we Soviets can do that better than you!”
[osint] Jane Fonda's 'Biggest Regret'? Not Bedding a Mass-Murdering Rapist
Jane Fonda's 'Biggest Regret' Posted By Humberto Fontova On September 8, 2011 A new biography of Jane Fonda by Patricia Bosworth reveals a lifelong lament by the famous actress: My biggest regret Fonda is quoted as saying during a feminist consciousness-raising session, according to the book's account, is I never got to f*** Che Guevara. In case you read Frontpage, Ms. Fonda, here's some consolation: I used to call him El Gallo (the rooster), recalled Carlos Figueroa, who was Ernesto Che Guevara's adolescent friend in Alta Gracia, Argentina. I'd be visiting him and eating in his family's dining room and whenever the poor servant girl would enter Ernesto would promptly grab her and force her to lay on the dining room table where he'd have rapid intercourse with her. Immediately afterwards he'd throw her out and continue eating as if nothing had happened. http://www.hfontova.com/che.html (Many of Ms. Fonda's feminist consciousness-raising fans likely consider much less to be rape.) Es un gallo-un gallo! (He's a rooster!-rooster!), complained a scowling Berta Gonzalez a few years later upon emerging from her Mexico City bedroom in the summer of 1955. This was shortly after Che's Motorcycle Diary trip, when the hobo Ernesto Guevara was scribbling unreadable poetry and mooching off women in Mexico City, where he met Fidel and Raul Castro. Berta Gonzalez was a Cuban exile in Mexico at the time. Gallo, as you might have guessed, is a common pejorative by Spanish-speaking women against men who terminate carnal encounters prematurely. Alas, the reaction of the feminist listeners to Ms. Fonda's above-mentioned confession is not mentioned in Bosworth's book. But we can guess. After all, feminist swooning over Cuban Stalinism started early, and by the feminist movement's very founders. Not only is [the Cuban Revolution] a great success but an example for the rest of the world, gushed Simon De Beauvoir in March 1960. Her bellhop, Jean Paul Sartre, was not to be outdone. He crowned Che Guevara the era's most perfect man. These intellectual hyperventilations of 1960 set the tone for future ones http://www.hfontova.com/fidel.html issued by everyone from Maxine Waters to Jimmy Carter, from Ted Turner to George Mc Govern, and from Barbara Walters to Andrea Mitchell. Fidel Castro is old-fashioned, courtly-even paternal, a thoroughly fascinating figure, said NBC's Andrea Mitchell. Alas, Cuban feminists view the Cuban Revolution somewhat differently from Hollywood, Georgetown and Manhattan feminists. When feminist icon Barbara Walters sat quivering alongside Fidel Castro in 1977, cooing: Fidel Castro has brought very high literacy and great health-care to his country. His personal magnetism is powerful! dozens of Cuban feminists suffered in torture chambers within walking distance of the hyperventilating Ms. Barbara Walters. They started by beating us with twisted coils of wire, recalls former political prisoner Ezperanza Pena, today in exile. I remember Teresita on the ground with all her lower ribs broken. Gladys had both her arms broken. Doris had her face cut up so badly from the beatings that when she tried to drink, water would pour out of her lacerated cheeks. On Mother's Day they allowed family visits, recalls Manuela Calvo, also in exile today. But as our mothers and sons and daughters were watching, we were beaten with rubber hoses and high-pressure hoses were turned on us, knocking all of us to the ground floor and rolling us around as the guards laughed and our loved-ones screamed helplessly. When female guards couldn't handle us male guards were called in for more brutal beatings. I saw teen-aged girls beaten savagely, their bones broken, their mouths bleeding, recalls prisoner Polita Grau. The gallant regime co-founded by Che Guevara jailed 35,150 Cuban women for political crimes, a totalitarian horror utterly unknown - not only in Cuba - but in the Western Hemisphere until the advent of the very Castro regime that was found so magnetic by Barbara Walters, Andrea Mitchell, Diane Sawyer, Jane Fonda, etc. Some of these Cuban ladies suffered twice as long in Castro's gulag as Alexander Solzhenitsyn suffered in Stalin's. Their prison conditions were described by former political prisoner Maritza Lugo. The punishment cells measure 3 feet wide by 6 feet long. The toilet consists of an 8 inch hole in the ground through which cockroaches and rats enter, especially in cool temperatures the rat come inside to seek the warmth of our bodies and we were often bitten. The suicide rate among women prisoners was very high. Upon the death of Raul Castro's wife, Vilma Espin, in 2006 the Washington Post gushed that she was a champion of women's rights and greatly improved the status of women in Cuba, a society known for its history of machismo. Actually, in 1958 Cuba had more female college graduates as a percentage of population than the U.S. This Castroite improvement of status and good life for Cuban women

Jerry: No, it offends me as a comedian. -Seinfeld, The Dentist episode The New York Times has http://jeffdunetz.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9a443c8dc3ed9a1571202cd e1id=1437375ea8e=e1333e4251 run (still another) article about how Sharia law coming to America is nothing to fear. Question: Will the New York Times ever run an op-ed opposing Sharia law in the United States? Twenty years ago I would have said: Of course, any responsible newspaper publishes one piece on each side of an issue. Today, of course, we know there is no chance of balance. Eliyahu Stern, an assistant professor of religious studies and history at Yale, seems to be an expert on Jewish history. In fact, Stern is so ignorant of the topic on Islam that he states most Muslims in America don't even come from the Middle East (the majority have roots in Southeast Asia). Really? That's a geographical term usually applied to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. Perhaps he meant Pakistan, a well-known locale of moderate Islam? If anyone on the other side said something so obviously ridiculous they would never be taken seriously. And the fact that the Times editors left in such a glaring factual error shows professional inadequacy and ignorance. But then this is the newspaper that let Tariq Ramadan claim that the Muslim Brotherhood (then headed by his grandfather) was an anti-fascist organization when every serious historian knows that it collaborated with the Nazis in preparing to turn over Egypt to Hitler and massacre the Jews there. (The documentary proof of this is in my book -written with Wolfgang Schwanitz - Nazis, Radical Arabs, and the Making of the Modern Middle East to be published by Yale University Press in 2012.) Why then is Stern writing that there's no need to fear Sharia law in America? Well, he apparently has just one argument: once people warned about Jewish law being dangerous, that was wrong, and we all know where that ended up. This is not exactly a brilliant argument for many reasons. The proportion of Jews was far lower than Muslim populations in the West are quickly becoming; Jews do not expect anyone else to observe their law or change behavior; there was never any question of compulsion within the community. Most Jews were not so religious and did not view themselves governed by Jewish law, except perhaps in the matter of very narrow issues regarding marriage and divorce that had no effect on the wider society. To cite one famous incident that sort of reveals the difference, the baseball player Hank Greenberg became an American Jewish hero for refusing to play in the World Series on Yom Kippur. No Jew would have thought of demanding the World Series be changed to another day. Or, to give another example, Jews would never think of demanding that public facilities install special equipment or rooms for their needs at taxpayer expense, nor insist that work places shut down to permit them to pray, nor that kosher food had to be provided or else, nor that publications better censor themselves or they would face legal action and perhaps violent retribution. If passengers in taxi cabs were regularly bringing pigs into the vehicles-the equivalent of Muslim cabdrivers with guide dogs and even alcohol in some cases-Jewish cabdrivers wouldn't have refused them service - they would have found another line of employment. And then there are those little details like Jews not periodically kidnapping and murdering women for their social behavior or coreligionists who wanted to convert to other religions. Jews didn't demand time off in the work day to pray and sue if it weren't granted to them. They knew their place instead of demanding that others yield to them. Well, over 2000 years of being a dominated people had taught them to keep a low profile and avoid trouble. In contrast, Islam really does have the sense of being a ruling religion before which others must make concessions. Such points do not reveal some irrational fear or hatred of Islam but are merely well-known facts. I often reflect that the phrase Politically Correct should be contrasted to the usual democratic, Enlightenment and Western norm of being Factually Correct. Political Correctness-as opposed to just plain politeness-is an approach that advocates telling lies because that's really better for us all. But that's not true, even for Muslims

[osint] Nigeria -Muslim Mob Hacks Christian Family to Death
Odd that there are no headlines from around the world about those barbaric Christian, Jewish or Buddhist mobs hacking Muslim families to death! B http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-09-05/youths-kill-family-of-8-in-central-nig eria/2870088 Mob hacks Christian family to death Posted September 05, 2011 06:19:04 http://maps.google.com/?q=10,8%28Nigeria%20%29z=5 Map: Nigeria Muslim youths hacked a Christian family of eight to death in Nigeria's volatile Plateau state, local officials said, continuing a week of religious violence. More than 40 people have been killed in the ethnically and religiously mixed area since last Monday when Christian youths attacked some Muslims as they gathered to celebrate the end of Ramadan in the city of Jos, capital of Plateau state. Plateau state spokesman Yiljap Abraham took journalists to the house in the village of Tatu, where the bodies of the eight victims from the latest attack were still lying on the floor. On Sunday morning, in another village in Plateau called Riyom, police found a bomb planted in a marketplace which had failed to go off because its battery had run flat, Sergeant Willford Egwu told journalists. Plateau state, straddling the Middle Belt between Nigeria's mostly Muslim north and largely Christian south, though normally peaceful, has sometimes been a flashpoint for tensions between the two faiths. Plateau unrest is a new security issue for president Goodluck Jonathan, also coping with near-daily attacks in the north-east by Islamist sect Boko Haram, which authorities blame for an August 26 bombing of UN offices in Abuja that killed 23 people. On Saturday at least four people, including one soldier, were killed in clashes between local youths and security forces in the town of Biu in the north-east, a senior police officer said. The fracas broke out on Friday night when the youth ambushed one soldier and killed him close to the Army Barracks in retaliation to the killing of a woman and the arrest of four Islamic clerics, the source said.

[osint] Multiculturalsim: A Delectable Lie
A Delectable Lie Posted By David Solway On September 7, 2011 I begin with a disclosure. Salim Mansur is a friend of mine, so if I were in any way skeptical of his deposition I would not have consented to write this review. Friendship is too precious a value to risk giving needless offense, either by being too brutally honest or by producing a piece of dishonest puffery. And since even the best of us have written problematic books (including yours truly), it is best in such cases to say nothing adverse in print and leave it to others to dissect the writer's efforts. That I write a review of a friend's book, then, means that I suffer no crisis of conscience in praising it for its many virtues: clarity, painstaking research, intellectual scrupulousness, a surfeit of historical and juridical information, and a powerful argument backed by strict evidence and leading to a set of forceful conclusions. Mansur presents his thesis with lucid precision in his Introduction: The idea of an 'official' multiculturalism program to be sponsored by the state, supported by tax-payers, and monitored and enforced by thought-police (human rights commissions) was at best dubious, and at worst by its very nature poised against Western liberalism. Moreover.it was based on the false idea-another official lie, really-that all cultures are equal. The result of this pernicious fantasy was a reversal of cultural norms and the scuttling of reasonable expectations. If all cultures are equal, the heritage culture has no priority and no legitimate claim upon foreign minorities to adapt to the social usages and conventions already in place. As immigration changes the demographic profile of a liberal democracy, Mansur writes, multiculturalism empowers immigrants from non-Western societies to demand that their host country adapt to the cultural requirements of immigrants instead of the other way round. And this is plainly what has happened. [I]f the ride continues unchecked, he concludes, the end then is predictable. Delectable Lie is a detailed exfoliation of this root argument, examining how multiculturalism-and, of course, its corollary, political correctness, which discriminates against the expression of dissent-have inexorably sedimented themselves in the political process, twisting our history as they did so, tearing apart national identities and invidiously replacing them with even older identities of a pre-modern past, thus effectively eroding the idea of nation as a people.identified on the basis of kinship relations or language. One has only to look at the importation of Sharia law into Europe and the proliferation of no-go zones, in effect Islamic mini-emirates, in European cities to see how cultural civility and national coherence can be subverted. In the U.S. Islamic advocacy proceeds apace, terror attacks are a constant menace, mosques pepper the landscape, the President appoints http://www.israpundit.com/archives/39090 Muslim Brotherhood sympathizers to influential posts, and the Shariate relentlessly advances. In Canada-Mansur's chief concern-Islamic organizations flex their muscles, terror plots are hatched, mosques and religious schools indoctrinate the young, and our human rights commissions see to it that criticism of Islam is muted, punished and all but ruled out. One recalls Ottoman thinker Said Nursi who prophesied nearly a century ago, in his famous Damascus Sermon http://www.amazon.com/Damascus-Sermon-Bediuzzaman-Said-Nursi/dp/9754320063/ ref=sr_1_2?s=booksie=UTF8qid=1314989327sr=1-2 , that Europe and America are pregnant with Islam. One day they will give birth to an Islamic state. The way things are going, he may have been right. And it is via what Mansur calls the delectable lie-the idea of cultural parity, the raising of the concept of diversity (which really means conformity of opinion) to the status of a social paradigm, the practice of accommodation to the sensitivities of immiscible groups in the fatuous conviction that the favor will be reciprocated, the untenable belief that the desire for freedom, prosperity and electoral democracy reigns in every human heart, in short, the diktats of multiculturalism-that Nursi's vision would be realized. Mansur writes with authority both as a professor of political science imbrued in his discipline and as a Muslim who understands how the more extreme elements in his community pose a serious threat to the durability of the society in which they have refused to integrate. These Islamic elements-along with certain disruptive and sectarian portions of the South Asian shame-honor demographic-braid the rope with which we will hang ourselves. Mansur clearly reveals how multiculturalism has failed to establish a viable and harmonious pluralism and has instead created an anarchic and retrograde situation in which old-world identities take precedence over modern, secular and liberal values. He shows how the Western political elites have collaborated in their own
[osint] Putain*: I Saw Jesus in Iran's Leader
* putain: French for whore. Putin: I Saw Jesus in Iran's Leader Posted By 'Reza Kahlili' On September 6, 2011 Iran's supreme leader is being elevated to sainthood and leader of the worldwide Islamic movement by the Iranian media. In commentaries that reflect the dictates of the Iranian regime, the media for the first time are publishing statements by world officials and others that deify Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The most significant of such statements comes from Vladimir Putin, the former president and current prime minister of Russia. The media outlet Mahramaneh reports that in October 2007, when Putin traveled to Iran, he specifically requested a meeting with Khamenei and came away dazzled. During that meeting, according to the report, Khamenei talked about the history of Russia and what lies ahead, which surprised Putin. Afterward, Iranian diplomats said that Putin's behavior had changed drastically. When Putin returned to Moscow, a reporter asked what he thought of the Iranian supreme leader. Putin is quoted as saying: I don't know much about the Messiah, the Christ, just what I have heard or read in the Bible, but I saw Christ, the Messiah, in the leader of Iran. Kofi Annan, who served as the seventh secretary general of the United Nations, is also quoted as saying: I have met . many world leaders whom I came to respect such as Jacques Chirac, the French president, Mikhail Gorbachev, the head of state of the U.S.S.R., and Helmut Kohl, chancellor of Germany, but none of these men touched me the way Ayatollah Khamenei did. In my meeting with him, I forgot about everything else as I was overwhelmed by his spirituality. Recently, the Iranian state-controlled TV for the first time publicly announced that Khamenei is really the mythical figure Seyed Khorasani, who, a centuries-old hadith (saying) states, will create the circumstances for the end of the world and the reappearance of the last Islamic messiah, the Shiites' 12th Imam Mahdi, who will conquer the world under the banner of Islam. Several high-ranking clerics in Iran have publicly announced that Khamenei is the deputy of the Shiite's 12th Imam on Earth and that refusal to obey his orders would be to refuse Allah. Some have also stated that Khamenei once a year travels to the sky and meets with the 12th Imam and confers on needed actions. During one such meeting, according to the clerics, he was told to continue on with the Iranian nuclear program despite widespread world objection. The media in Iran have credited the supreme leader with predicting the economic turmoil in Europe and the global awakening of Islam in the Arab Spring. They have also been adamant about an important prediction of the leader: the destruction of Israel, which they believe is imminent. Seyed Hassan Nasrallah, secretary-general of the terrorist group Hezbollah, is quoted as saying, Certain qualities of Iran's supreme leader and aspects of his wisdom, prudence and spirituality are secret and sealed and unfortunately cannot be talked about in public. He adds: Though I cannot reveal much of what I know about Ayatollah Khamenei, I can tell with utmost certainty that the leader truly believes the destruction of Israel is . imminent. One media outlet reports that what is about to take place is much more than the destruction of Israel. It claims humanity will witness the greatest event of its history and that Muslims should prepare themselves because the final glorification of Islam is at hand. Khamenei, in a speech last week on the occasion of Eid ul-Fitr, the Muslim holiday that marks the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, hinted that the end is near: An important period in the history of the world is in formation. Who would have thought that the agents of America and the Zionists in the region would fall one after another, he declared. The Iranian leader has also predicted the demise of America and has called the current sanctions in place by the Obama administration a failure in stopping Iran's nuclear ambitions. Iran has announced that there will be no negotiations on its nuclear drive. The United Nations nuclear agency in its most recent report indicated that there is credible evidence that Iran is working on nuclear weapons and that it already has enough enriched uranium for six nuclear warheads.

[osint] Naming the 9/11 Enemy
It's Islam that must be understood.not the nonsensical construct of Islamism. B http://www.city-journal.org/2011/eon0906fsss.html Fred Siegel and Sol Stern Naming the 9/11 Enemy Our long struggle will only get longer if we refuse to understand radical Islamism. 6 September 2011 For the Obama White House, the anniversary of 9/11 serves an ongoing effort to detach the attacks on New York and Washington from their Islamist roots. Like its predecessor, the Obama administration has chosen not to name the enemy or its distinctive religious history, both as a matter of strategy and for fear of singling out one world faith. It prefers the abstraction of a war on terror. Thus the administration offered helpful guidelines for the 9/11 commemorations that would remind Americans of the devastating strikes against Mumbai, Madrid, and London. Missing from this list of victims was Israel, which has suffered more from Islamist-inspired terrorism than any country in the world. What can be the reason for this omission, other than the fact that including the Jewish state might tell us more about the perpetrators and their roots than the White House wants us to know? It would be far better to use the anniversary as a time to reflect on the source of most terrorism today: revolutionary Islamism. Unfortunately, Americans have shied away from the implications of the historic struggle between the West and the political cultures that produced jihadism for 1,000 years before the United States was created. Granted, American reaction to the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center had the sense of a sudden public illumination, especially after our lax response to the first attack in 1993. The trial of the 1993 ringleader, the Blind Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, revealed Islamist plans to blow up the Holland Tunnel and other city landmarks, but these lurid details were buried in the inside pages of the New York Times. In 2001, the terrorists and their foreign enablers finally got our attention. The Bush administration responded with mixed success to an unprecedented challenge to American security. Despite the civil-liberties hysteria generated by President Bush's counterterror measures, those policies have largely been continued under Obama, though his supporters go through semantic contortions to deny it. One result (and the Bush and Obama administrations deserve credit for this) is that America is far better defended today. But while America has learned a good deal about how to prevent catastrophic acts of terrorism on the home front, it's disconcerting that we have made little progress in understanding the conceptual mind-set of revolutionary Islamism, the religious and political construct that underlies international terrorism. In the early 1990s, the two leading European experts on militant Islam, Gilles Kepel and Olivier Roy, declared that Islamism was on the wane because jihad had been defeated. Americans, like Westerners generally, tend to think in terms of definitive outcomes and decisive battles like those that brought an end to past conflicts. Our mistaken assumption, when we entered Afghanistan and Iraq, was that our military interventions could produce World War II-type victories, in which our enemies would be de-Talibanized or de-Baathified and reconstructed as peaceful democracies. And so President Bush's unfortunate Mission Accomplished speech left America blindsided when a Sunni insurgency, led by ex-Baathists and financed by Saudi money, started a civil war in Iraq. More recently, the killing of bin Laden and Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, one of his top deputies, prompted claims by Obama-administration supporters that the Islamist threat was all but over-as if the degrading of al-Qaida were tantamount to a deep change in the hearts and minds of the faithful. Similarly, Muammar el-Qaddafi's fall from power in Libya has led Obama's media advocates to claim victory there for Western values. Our vision is chronically stuck in the short term. As the State Department's Tony Corn has written, since the end of the Cold War, the strategic management of time seems to have eluded U.S. elites, whose timelines now rarely extend beyond the 24/7 news cycle, the quarterly financial report, and the midterm elections. Even after 9/11, we failed to adapt to the Islamic sense of time and war. The difference between our clocks and our enemies' can be summarized by a famous boast among the tribes of Waziristan: I took my revenge early. I waited only 100 years. Some have argued that Islamism stands in relationship to jihadism as did Marxism/Leninism to Stalin's post-World War II aggression. There's something to this analogy, but it can be pushed too hard. Developing an ideological counterweight to Islamism isn't likely to bring about victory. What kept the East Europeans in chains for so long was not Communist ideology but the Red Army. The day the Soviet military-industrial complex imploded, the war was over. Revolutionary Islamism, by

PONTIFICAL COUNCIL FOR INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE MESSAGE FOR THE END OF RAMADAN 'Id al-Fitr 1432 H. / 2011 A.D. Christians and Muslims: Working together for mankind's spiritual dimension Vatican City Dear Muslim friends, 1. The end of the month of Ramadan offers the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue a welcome occasion for sending you our most cordialwishes, hoping that the efforts you have so generously made during this month will bring all the desired spiritual fruits. 2. This year, we have thought to give priority to the theme of the spiritual dimension of the human person. This concerns a reality which Christians and Muslims consider to be of prime importance, faced as we are with the challenges of materialism and secularisation. The relationship that every humanperson has with the transcendent is not a moment in history, but is part of human nature. We do not believe in fate; we are convinced - moreover it is our experience - that God guides us on our path! Which God would that be? The God of Christianity, or the one of Islam who calls for the ultimate destruction of Christianity? Bukhari Volume 4, Book 55, Number 657: http://loganswarning.com/2011/05/01/what-islam-really-says-about-jesus-and- his-return/ Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, surely (Jesus,) the son of Mary will soon descend amongst you and will judge mankind justly (as a Just Ruler); he will break the Cross and kill the pigs and there will be no Jizya (i.e. taxation taken from non Muslims). Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allah (in prayer) will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it. Abu Huraira added If you wish, you can recite (this verse of the Holy Book): - 'And there is none Of the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) But must believe in him (i.e Jesus as an Apostle of Allah and a human being) Before his death. And on the Day of Judgment He will be a witness Against them. (4.159) (See Fateh Al Bari, Page 302 Vol 7) Back to the dhimmican. 3. Christians and Muslims, beyond their differences, recognise the dignity of the human person endowed with both rights and duties. They think thatintelligence and freedom are indeed gifts which must impel believers to recognise these values which are shared because they rest on the same human nature. This letter was written by Jean-Louis Cardinal Tauran, President of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue. Has he actually studied Islam? Did he miss this class? Muslim Hadith Book 019, Number 4366: It has been narrated by 'Umar b. al-Khattib that he heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say: I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim. You know what Jean-Louis? Muslims are doing a great job at that, http://loganswarning.com/2011/05/24/lets-lock-arms-and-fight-the-persecutio n-of-christians%E2%80%8F%E2%80%8F/ and instead of fighting back, you are looking to join forces with them and help promote Islam. Did your God tell you to promote other religions? 4.

http://www.debbieschlussel.com/41692/let-him-rot-israeli-spy-shamai-leibowit z-hated-israel/ September 6, 2011, - 4:02 pm Let Him Rot: http://www.debbieschlussel.com/41692/let-him-rot-israeli-spy-shamai-leibowi tz-hated-israel/ Israeli Spy Shamai Leibowitz Hated Israel, America; Loves Islamic Terrorists By http://www.debbieschlussel.com Debbie Schlussel For years I've known about Shamai Leibowitz, the http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/24/AR201005240 3795_pf.html FBI Hebrew linguist and former Israeli, who pleaded guilty for disclosing classified info and allegedly spied for Israel, which actually isn't the case. He http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/06/us/06leak.html?_r=1hp spied ON Israel. And AGAINST Israel. FOR America. And he disclosed the information in order to hurt both Israel AND America. That's why it's so ironic that the left and the anti-Semites are gushing that this is evidence about how Jews are loyal to Israel and can't be trusted. Just the contrary. It's evidence that far-left Jews who shill for Muslims are as trustworthy as Muslims. As in, they cannot be trusted at all. http://www.debbieschlussel.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/shamaileibowitz.jp ghttp://www.debbieschlussel.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/barghoutiarafat.j pg FBI Israeli Spy Shamai Leibowitz Represented Arafat's Terrorist Buddy Marwan Barghouti Leibowitz is and always has been one of the most anti-Israel Jews and activists on the planet. In Israel, he was essentially doing Bin Laden's and HAMAS' legal work. And I was shocked when I learned he'd been hired by the FBI to be a Hebrew linguist. I knew this could only mean one thing: he was spying against Israel, NOT betraying America for Israel. As a kid, when it was the Jewish Sabbath and my father wanted to teach me the Bible, we would read books by Nechama Leibowitz, a terrific Israeli Torah scholar. Her Iyunim or Eyunim were analyses she wrote and compiled on the Torah, in response to questions people sent her. She was the sister of the respected famous Rabbi Yishayahu Leibowitz, and she was a proud pro-Israel Israeli Jew. But, as I got older, my dad warned me about her great-nephew (the rabbi's grandson), Shamai Leibowitz, whom we both considered the scum of the earth-an uber-kapo if there ever was one. Shamai Leibowitz, though an Israeli, hated Israel with a passion and was a big figure in the circles of self-hating Israeli Jews who aided and abetted Islamic terrorists. Leibowitz was the attorney for Marwan Barghouti, a Palestinian terrorist leader who planned homicide bombings that murdered plenty of Israelis (and a good buddy and henchmen of Yasser Arafat). Leibowitz represented others of his ilk, too. And Leibowitz worked for the New Israel Fund, or as those of us in the know call it, the NO Israel Fund. NIF is so anti-Israel that NIF Israeli official, Hedva Radovanitz, told the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv that the disappearance of a Jewish State would not be a tragedy, http://wikileaks.org/cable/2010/02/10TELAVIV439.html according to a cable in the latest Wikileaks document release. Leibowitz and his pan-terrorist activities were very well known. Given that, it's moronic-and sinister, that the Famous But Incompetent would hire him for anything, especially this. They knew he hated Israel and used it. But, hey, the FBI is known to be anti-Israel. And so, when I learned that learned that the Israeli citizen and FBI linguist who leaked confidential information about Israel was Leibowitz, I knew the information could only be stuff he leaked because he wanted it to harm Israel. And that's exactly what we have here. This is not a case of dual loyalty of American Jews to Israel, as many would love to paint it. It's a case of the real danger to America: uber-loyalty to Islamo-pandering, Jew-hatred, and anti-Israel destructiveness. One more thing: a lot of readers wrote me that they were upset that the U.S. spied on the Israeli Embassy in Washington, which is what Leibowitz was paid to do (he translated the transcripts from the secret taps of the Embassy). I'm not surprised this is going on. I always expected that we are tapping the Israelis and spying on them. And Israel is probably tapping and spying on the only U.S. Embassy in the world not in the respective nation's capital (the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel). The thing is: the U.S. shouldn't be spying on Israel because Israel is our ally. We should be spying on the communists, the Muslims, and the crazy dictatorships. Israel isn't a threat to America. It's a best friend. Think of how much money we wasted spying on Israel that could have gone to legitimate national security purposes. Israel has a good reason for spying on America: America doesn't trust Israel and doesn't share information it's supposed to pursuant to treaties and agreements. Among the information Israel sought and got from spy Jonathan Pollard was important information on Iran,
[osint] Muslim Consultants Lied to Park Service About Flight 911 Islamic Crescent Memorial
Muslims lying? Thats a dog bites man story. The stupidity of the Park Service is beyond belief. B http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2011/09/muslim-consultants-l ied-to-park-service-about-flight-911-islamic-crescent-memorial.html September 06, 2011 Muslim Consultants Lied to Park Service About Flight 911 Islamic Crescent Memorial Let the record show that there were patriots and freedom lovers who opposed and fought for years against an Islamic crescent pointing towards Mecca as a memorial to the American heroes who brought down the last plane taken over by islamic terrorists. We know what it is. Those brave souls on Flight 93 saved the Capitol. Clearly, an Islamic crescent memorial is a seditious insult to their heroic memory. Atlas has been very vocal against this insult for years, http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/honorflight93/ Crescent-petitionborderedand many have been fighting this battle for quite some time. The leaders of the opposition, Tom Burnett Sr. (whose son Tom was one of those warriors who wrestled the plane away from the allahu akbar-screaming Muslims) and Alec Rawls, are on the vanguard of the fight. The bottom line is, why a crescent? Why not a flag? Or a monument to the group who managed to wrest control of the aircraft away from the Muslim terrrists? A crescent pointing to Mecca? As if that weren't bad enough, the dhimmi Park Service asked Muslim consultants and Islamic scholars for an honest consult? They can't be that clueless; they must be complicit. Shocka, the Muslims lied. Hey, they're supposed to. It is http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran/011-taqiyya.htm taqiyya, it's in the koran -- lie to advance Islam. Muslim consultants LIED to Park Service http://errortheory.blogspot.com/2011/09/muslim-consultants-lied-to-park-ser vice.html Error Theory The Park Service enlisted three outside consultants to assess whether the Crescent of Embrace memorial to Flight 93 really can be seen as a giant mihrab: the Mecca-direction indicator around which every mosque is built. All three consultants, including two Islamic scholars, were blatantly and provably dishonest. Consultant #1 (details below) confirmed to the Park Service that the giant crescent (now called a broken circle) does indeed point almost exactly at Mecca, then when asked about it by the press, denied that there is any such thing as the direction to Mecca (insisting that you can face any direction to face Mecca). Consultant #2, a professor of Islamic architecture at MIT, lied about one of the most familiar of all Islamic doctrines, claiming that a legitimate mihrab must point exactly at Mecca. (The original Crescent of Embrace pointed less than 2° north of Mecca. The broken-circle redesign points less than 3° south of Mecca. Both highly accurate by Islamic standards.) Consultant #3, a professor of sharia law at Indiana University (!), came up with an almost comically dishonest rationale for dismissing concern about the giant Mecca-oriented crescent: don't worry, no one has ever seen a mihrab anywhere near this BIG before. Not so funny is the Park Service's eagerness to embrace such a transparently ludicrous excuse. The details are documented in a large advertisement http://www.crescentofbetrayal.com/MuslimConsultsLIED_8-30-11.pdf that Alec Rawls and Tom Burnett Sr. are running this week in Somerset Pennsylvania as President Obama and the national press arrive in town for the 10th anniversary of 9/11. The press has so far been unwilling to check even the most basic facts about the memorial, like whether the giant crescent really does point to Mecca (takes about 2 minutes http://www.crescentofbetrayal.com/VerifyingMeccaOrientation.htm ). Maybe charges that the Park Service and its consultants are telling easily verifiable lies will be more up their alley. That's the hope, but a strong push might also make the difference.

In the daytime, only the plaza, chock full of figures hurrying purposefully on their numerous errands, gives evidence of the unseen commerce that occurs inside the fully occupied towers. IRT and PATH trains rumble through the lower levels of the plaza. Taxis rarely idle for long in the three designated cab stands that border the plaza as they skitter in and out of what seems like yellow conveyor belts of business, dropping off and picking up passengers. Bands, orchestras, and soloists usually occupy the small, sunken amphitheater; the plaza is rarely without music. Vendors serve hot dogs, knishes and ice cream from kiosks and wheeled carts. Dozens of stores, restaurants and fast food shops populate the plazas lower levels, even a movie theater and a bookstore. One unkind critic of the sleek new twin towers wrote in The New York Times, before they were completed, that together they looked like a giant tuning fork. But another critic, writing for The New York Post, said they were reminiscent of Winston Churchills V for victory sign. If the original towers collapsed because of the heat of an inferno, what replaced them was an inferno of controversy that resulted in the resignation of a governor, the dissolution of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation racked by scandal, corruption, and favoritism, and the relinquishment of the property by the Port Authority to a syndicate of private developers dedicated to building a new World Trade Center as tall or taller. Where the oddly sculptured globe once sat in the original plaza is a modest, circular black marble plaque, enclosed by an oval pool with calming, splashing fountains. The plaque contains the engraved names of all who died here that awful day a decade ago. Benches ring the front of the pool, and are usually filled with tourists and office workers from the towers at lunchtime. Similar modest memorials were erected in front of the repaired Pentagon, and in the Shanksville, Pennsylvania field where passengers on the flight died fighting to regain control of a hijacked plane destined to crash into either the White House or the Capitol Building. It has never been determined which was the hijackers target, although authorities are certain that the White House was the intended target. Monitored Al Qaeda communications repeated the query, Is he dead yet? They could only have been referring to President Bush, who fortunately was not in the White House that day. The Attack That day! Ten years ago, on September 11, 2001, the United States was attacked on its own soil by agents of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, and Iraq. Complicit in that attack, or at least aiding and abetting it by supplying resources, training, sanctuaries, and foot soldiers, were key enablers, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Nearly 3,000 people died in the attack, mostly Americans, including the passengers on the hijacked planes that slammed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and that Pennsylvania field. Everyone can remember the response of everyday, rank-and-file moderate Muslims: in Gaza, in Iran, in Cairo, in London, in Paris, in Indonesia, in Patterson, New Jersey, in Brooklyn, New York, in Dearborn, Michigan, celebrated, passed out candy, danced in the streets, and shouted their hatred for the U.S. Their spokesmen and leaders put on pious faces and published solemn-sounding regrets, but did not chastise their collects of celebrants. Two days after the attack, in a stirring, televised speech to Congress and the American people, still reeling from a greater loss http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2002/aug/18/usa.terrorism of American life than the country had suffered during the attack http://www.military.com/Resources/HistorySubmittedFileView?file=history_pea rlharbor.htm on Pearl Harbor http://www.usswestvirginia.org/ph/phlist.php sixty years before, President George W.

· SEPTEMBER 6, 2011 QUOTES ABOUT ISLAM Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini Those who know nothing about Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those people are witless. Islam says: 'Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all!' Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by the infidel? Islam says: 'Kill them, put them to the sword and scatter them.' Islam says: 'Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword.' The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for the Holy Warriors! Does all this mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim. Sir Winston Churchill Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step... 911 Outrage ~ Islamic Call to Prayer Coming to Washington DC!

[osint] The PLO Covenant and the Nazi Covenant: Two Sides of the Same Genocidal Coin
_ The PLO Covenant and the Nazi Covenant: Two Sides of the Same Genocidal Coin This chart, a comparison between the Nazi and PLO Covenants, was published approx 30 years ago in the Canadian Jewish Herald - Oct.1980 (publisher Dan Nimrod zl). One year later saw publication of 'On A field of Red' - the Comintern and the coming of World War II' (Putnams 1981) which revealed that (three years prior to the appearance of Hitler's 'Mein Kampf') the American Military Attache in Germany, CaptainTruman Smith, secured a 1922 audience with Adolf Hitler in Munich. The outcome of that encounter is enshrined in an extraordinary report - breathtaking for its insight. Hitler insisted that the 25 articles of the Nazi 1920 Covenant were the 'dogma of our faith and the rock upon which the Party was built'. Captain Smith, disturbed by Hitler's anti-semitism and the ominous language of Article 4 (see below -None but those of German.No Jew.may be a member of the nation) concluded that 'Hitler intended to perform a radical surgical operation on the Jews and remove them totally from German lebensraum. The British response to this murderous plan was its 1922 decision to bar Jews from the eastern part of the Mandated Territories, namely the expansive, uninhabited desert of the trans Jordan (in short declare it 'Judenrein'). In the meantime the USA buried Colonel Smith's intelligence: determined to stay aloof from the 'petty affairs' of EurAsia until the day it was to receive its twin wake-up 'calls' - Hirohito's 'Pearl Habor' 'Hitler's Declaration of War'. America's cavalier treatment of Colonel Smith's real time intelligence led (inter alia) twenty years later to the Holocaust. Likewise, the unintelligent treatment by Beilin, Clinton, Peres and Co., (a dozen years or so after Dan Nimrod's real time intelligence) saddled Israel with Arafat and Oslo. Israel and the West are once more confronted by a genocidal covenant, http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/mideast/hamas.htm the Hamas Covenant - endorsed by the Mad Mahdi of Teheran. The question is - will the Jews (for the third time) be beguiled to forgo real-time intelligence and once more succumb to commu-nazi psywar propaganda intended to wear down their resistance to Hitler's Heirs? http://smoothstoneblog.com/2011/09/the-plo-covenant-and-the-nazi-covenant-tw o-sides-of-the-same-genocidal-coin.htm?utm_source=feedburner http://smoothstoneblog.com/2011/09/the-plo-covenant-and-the-nazi-covenant-t wo-sides-of-the-same-genocidal-coin.htm?utm_source=feedburnerutm_medium=ema ilutm_campaign=Feed%3A+smoothstoneblog%2FGKxq+%28Smooth+Stone%29 utm_medium=emailutm_campaign=Feed%3A+smoothstoneblog%2FGKxq+%28Smooth+Ston e%29 http://smoothstoneblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Covenants1.png Article 2 of the PLO Covenant defines Palestine as an indivisible territorial unit with the boundaries it had during the British Mandate 1920 including Trans Jordan The Articles are abstracted from The Palestinian National Covenant English Rendition published by the PLO Research Centre Beirut 1969 THE POINTS ARE ABSTRACTED FROM NATIONAL SOCIALISM BY ROBERT MURPHY - DOCUMENT THE PROGRAMME OF THE PARTY OF HITLER ENGLISH RENDITION BY E.T.S.

[osint] Obama's big chance
http://www.nypost.com/ Description: Description: New York PostUpdated: Mon., Sep. 5, 2011, 10:11 AM Description: Description: home Obama's big chance By MICHAEL A. WALSH Last Updated: 10:11 AM, September 5, 2011 Posted: 9:48 PM, September 4, 2011 It's hard to see how the news could be any grimmer for Labor Day 2011: no net new jobs created in August, the first time since 1945 that's happened. The unemployment rate of 9.1 percent -- 16.7 percent among blacks -- is unlikely to dip as low as 8 percent for at least the next year. Millions have stopped looking for work, consumer confidence is at rock bottom, and the stock market is having another nervous breakdown. Plus, the fairy tale of government-fostered green jobs just blew up. The politically connected California solar-panel maker Solyndra, which got more than half a billion dollars in loan guarantees from the Obama st imulus, declared bankruptcy last week -- taking with it more than 1,000 jobs and a boatload of taxpayer money. But have no fear: President Obama on Thursday will give yet another major speech on the economy as he once again pivots to jobs. But he's expected to give us nothing but his usual litany of failed nostrums, including more green technology, more stimulus, more infrastructure investment, more nickel-and-dime tax credits and extending the 2 percent payroll tax cut. Save your breath, Mr. President. The fact is, this administration is as bankrupt as Solyndra. Its Keynesian bromides have failed, and it's pretty much run through the available supply of academic e ggheads that will give it the economic advice it wants to hear. True, in the face of the disastrous jobs report, Obama on Friday suddenly reined in the Environmental Protection Agency, forcing commissar Lisa Jackson to rescind (for now) a blizzard of vindictive new rules that would have crippled the nation's coal-fired power plants and sent electricity prices soaring. Naturally, such common sense has enraged environmentalists. But will Obama be consistent, and also approve the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline from the Canadian oil-sand fields in Alberta to refineries in the Midwest and the Gulf Coast? Eco-nuts including actress Daryl Hannah protested outside the White House over the pipeline; they'd rather we remain de pendent on Saudi Arabia and Venezuela than import oil from a friendly neighbor -- and are threatening to withdraw their support from Obama if he OKs it. Obama is still waffling, promising a decision by year's end. Why not say yes today -- or, better yet, announce the decision during Thursday's speech? If the president really wants to jump-start the economy, he should also lift his de facto ban on oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, which would put thousands back to work from Florida to Texas. Indeed, if he's serious about jobs, he'll promise to halt all new regulation. Oh, and stop holding up those free-trade treaties because the labor unions don't like 'em. span style=font-size:12.0pt;color:black;And if he really wants to kick-start the economy, he should call for a radical revision of the tax system: Flatten the rates for everybody (including corporations), eliminate all or most deductions and tax credits and make everyone pay at least something, and Americans will move billions of dollars from less-productive tax shelters to job-creating investments. In short, this is Barack Obama's moment. For once, one of his big speeches actually needs to have specific proposals leading to practical, beneficial results. Don't hold your breath. On jobs, the president has pivoted more than the prima ballerina in Swan Lake, and literally has nothing to show for it even after more than two years of optimistic promises. His signature push was for the albatross of ObamaCare, whose baleful economic effects haven't even fully kicked in yet. Until its fate is decided, either at the ballot box or by the Supreme Court, businesses will stay frozen, unable to gauge the true cost of new hiring. It's hard to paint a pretty face on zero jobs growth and new monthly unemployment claims of more than 4000,000. Economists may argue about whether we're heading for a double-dip recession, but ordinary Americans know the first recession never really ended. And yet Obama has doggedly pursued a faculty-lounge fantasy of borrowed pump-priming and imaginary technology in the face of overwhelming evidence that no amount of governmental borrowing, green jobs and stimulus is going to pull us out of this tailspin. But there's at least one business that's booming: state lotteries. Seventeen states report all-time records as desperate citizens queue up to hand the government even more of their money in the hope that a dollar and a dream will free them from the consequences of the 2008 election. Alas, the only thing that's going to do that is the next election. NEW YORK POST is a registered trademark of NYP Holdings, Inc. nypost.com , nypostonline.com , and
[osint] Afghan Police Chief: Missing Germans Shot to Death
Sep 5, 10:30 AM EDT Afghan police chief: missing Germans shot to death By AMIR SHAH Associated Press Virginian Pilot KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- Two Germans who disappeared nearly three weeks ago while hiking in the Hindu Kush mountains were shot to death, a police general said Monday. Gen. Sher Ahmad Maladani, police chief of Afghanistan 's eastern Parwan province, said Monday that a rescue team reached the bodies in the late afternoon. He says the two men had bullet wounds in their chests, but it's not clear when they died. He said he had asked the Ministry of Interior and German army for helicopters to help get the bodies down from the mountains. It took the rescue team four hours to reach the bodies on foot from the main road. Police at the scene said they could not recover the bodies Monday because of darkness and would try again in the morning. They have several bullet holes to the chest. We are not sure when they died, but the bodies are in good condition, Maladani said. The area where the bodies were found is extremely rugged and remote. Police Gen. Rajab, who like many Afghans goes by only one name, said the two bodies were inside cloth sacks. Parwan governor Abdul Basir Salangi said they were discovered under a large boulder about 2 1/2 miles (four kilometers) from the south end of the Salang Pass, where they began their hike on Aug. 19. He had no other details, and it remained unclear who found the bodies. The area is inhabited mostly by nomadic shepherds who live in tents. A spokesman for the German Foreign Ministry in Berlin, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with ministry rules, confirmed that two bodies were found in Parwan province but said he could not give any further details until they had been identified beyond doubt. In unrelated incidents, a roadside bomb and a suicide bomber killed eight people and wounded 20 in two attacks around the country, the Interior Ministry said. Five civilians were killed Monday when a roadside bomb exploded next to their vehicle in western Afghanistan's Faryab province. Also, the ministry said, in southern Kandahar city late Sunday, a suicide car bomber killed three Afghan private security guards and wounded another 20. The guards were part of a convoy and had stopped for evening prayers when the attack occurred. The ministry provided no other details on either incident. The region where the Germans disappeared is not a Taliban area. Last month Afghan police speculated the two men could have gotten lost in the high mountains or may have been the victims of a crime. The agency they were working for has not been named. The day they disappeared, the two traveled to the south end of the Salang Pass, north of Kabul, around 8 a.m. and told their driver they were going into the mountains. They promised to return at 4 p.m. and the driver waited until 6 p.m. before contacting local authorities, and the search began. The Salang Pass is a major ro ute through the Hindu Kush mountains that connects the Afghan capital, Kabul, with the northern part of the nation. Germany has been a major contributor to the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan and currently has some 5,200 troops stationed in the country, largely in the north. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/A/AS_AFGHANISTAN?SITE=VANOVSECTION=HO METEMPLATE=DEFAULT#4d81f139-3f7f-4d14-924c-d3cbaf8f6df2 C 2011 The Associated Press.

[osint] The Family Circus
http://takimag.com/contributor/theeditors/50 by The Editors http://takimag.com/contributors/contributor_feed/theeditors/ http://takimag.com/contributors/contributor_feed/theeditors/ September 02, 2011 The Obama Family Circus http://takimag.com/images/uploads/obamafamilycircus.jpg Not so long ago, Barack Obama electrified and mesmerized not only America but the entire solar system and even parts of the Crab Nebula with his transparently empty promises, his smooth mulatto charisma, and an oratory prowess that sent http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no9fpKVXxCc tingles running up grown men’s legs. Then, roughly five minutes after his inauguration, Obama lost all his charm and has flailed for the past two-and-a-half years as a frightened-and-flummoxed amateur who’s obviously in way over his oversized ears. His http://www.gallup.com/poll/116479/barack-obama-presidential-job-approval.aspx approval rating has plummeted so precipitously, it reached the point earlier this year where “ http://www.theroot.com/buzz/obama-s-approval-among-blacks-slips-all-time-low only” 85 percent of African Americans said he’s doing a swell job. But except for that opening paragraph, we're not here to make fun of Barack Obama. Today, we aim our gleeful Schadenfreude at his blood relatives, many of whom have names that sound like slight variations of Ooga Booga Yabba Dabba Doo. Historically, the press has made a bigger deal of Democratic presidents’ wayward relatives than it has of GOP prez’s familial flockoffs. Whether this is due to editorial negligence or the fact that Republicans’ families have kept their noses cleaner, we are not sure. Ronald Reagan’s immediate family members did only slightly embarrassing things such as becoming a snarky, gay-seeming ballet dancer and a charmlessly meandering talk-radio host. Oh, and George Bush, Sr. had a mildly retarded son who became president for twice as long as his dad. Over on the donkey side, America’s media made huge hay of a bucktoothed, bespectacled, runway-staining Georgia cracker called Billy Carter and a coke-gobbling, talent-free wannabe musician named Roger Clinton. “It’s funny to hear that Barack Obama has so many half-brothers, because genetically, Obama is a half-brother.” But Barack Obama doesn’t merely have a single embarrassing family member. He has a whole litter of them. But he’s protected by the Black Shield, a new kind of skin privilege, one it’s impossible to even mention without being branded with the irrevocably shameful “R” word. Due to such fears and also their elaborate financial and ideological entanglements with the current administration, most of America’s press doesn’t leap nearly so eagerly on Obama’s familial skeletons as they do on Sarah Palin’s retarded child or Michelle Bachmann’s screaming faggot of a husband. The press isn’t even in Obama’s pocket—they’re snuggled deep up in his underwear. We are not constrained by such fears. But because a fundamental spirit of fairmindedness animates us, we’ll leave his immediate family members out of it, although we can’t help mentioning he was raised almost solely by Caucasians after age two and expressed his gratitude by checking off “ http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/04/02/politics/main6357568.shtml black” rather than “white” or “some other race” on his Census form. Since they’re both dead, we will say nothing mean about his commie-sympathizing mud shark of a mother nor his violent, peg-legged, deadbeat alcoholic dad. Since they’re still alive, we will refrain from taking cheap shots at his daughters Sushi and Mongolia and from disparaging his overbearing, insufferable, ball-busting, walking vagina dentata of a wife. We’re here simply to make sport of his less-immediate family members. It’s funny to hear that Barack Obama has so many half-brothers, because genetically, Obama is a half-brother. Although we don’t think he’s fully responsible for any of their actions, we’ll note that he seems reluctant to “spread the wealth” with any of them. ONYANGO “UNCLE OMAR” OBAMA http://www.jimgoad.net/images/omarobama.jpg Although he moved to the USA in the early 1960s, the president’s half-uncle is still an illegal immigrant who somehow has managed to finagle himself an authentic Massachusetts driver’s license and a valid Social Security card since 1992. On August 24 of this year, his erratic driving led to an arrest by Massachusetts police, who pulled him over near the Chicken Bone Saloon in Framingham. A http://www.jimgoad.net/pdf/OnyangoReport.pdf police report noted his “obviously red and glassy eyes,” a “slurred speech pattern,” and “a strong odor consistent with consumption of alcohol coming from his breath.” His blood-alcohol level reportedly tested at twice the legal limit, making him a drunk uncle, or, if you prefer, a “druncle.” The 67-year-old liquor-store employee had reportedly also sold alcohol to underaged individuals on two

Now, stiffer, slower and a bit gray, 13-year-old Bretagne is one of just a handful of World Trade Center rescue dogs still alive. We arrived on 9/12 and started working right away, said Bretagne's handler, Denise Corliss, a search-and-rescue volunteer with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. http://barenakedislam.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/911-tenth-anniversary-memori al-i-suppose-mayor-bloomberg-has-no-room-for-these-first-responders-either/0 4-1n022-911dogs1-300x300-3/ http://barenakedislam.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/04-1n022-911dogs1-300x3002 .jpg?w=300h=300Bretagne had spent more than a year learning how to find survivors in concrete rubble, but her Cypress, Texas, training site was nothing like Ground Zero. She clambered up ladders to get on top of the huge debris piles, padded across broken glass and twisted steel beams, wiggled into small spaces and crawled into dark holes, all the while sniffing through mounds of pulverized concrete searching for clues that would lead her to survivors. Like all the rescue dogs, she worked without a leash or a collar. The dogs also didn't wear protective booties, despite the crushed glass everywhere - they needed their claws for traction. Every night, she was given a decontamination bath. Her eyes, ears and mouth were rinsed out, and her abraded paw pads gently cleaned. http://barenakedislam.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/911-tenth-anniversary-memori al-i-suppose-mayor-bloomberg-has-no-room-for-these-first-responders-either/w orld-trade-center-search-rescue-dog-1/ http://barenakedislam.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/world-trade-center-search- rescue-dog-1.jpg?w=300h=201It was her first mission, but she worked it like a pro. She didn't get cut up or fall or get hurt, said Corliss. But Bretagne had a couple of near misses. One day, sniffing along an elevated steel beam, she lost her footing. It was real wet because the fires were still smoldering and the water spray was everywhere, Corliss recalled. She just kind of slipped, but she used her paws to pull herself back up and kept on going. That was the only time I was a little unsettled. Bretagne was also a magnet for distraught firefighters searching the site for fallen comrades. http://barenakedislam.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/911-tenth-anniversary-memori al-i-suppose-mayor-bloomberg-has-no-room-for-these-first-responders-either/s ar-dog-9-3/ http://barenakedislam.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/sar-dog-92.jpg?w=400h=324 A lot of times, firefighters would come by and pet her, talk to her and tell her stories, said Corliss. One firefighter bonded so closely with Bretagne that he recognized her years later at a 9/11 memorial. The gregarious golden retriever has seen several national disasters since 9/11 - she responded to hurricanes Katrina and Rita, going into flooded areas to find those unable to evacuate. She's retired now, but has a hard time accepting it, said Corliss. When Corliss heads out with her new search dog, Aid'n, Bretagne always wants to go along. I bring her to the training site sometimes and let her run a few drills - she's still got it, said the proud handler. Like Bretagne, the majority of 100 or so FEMA dogs sent to Ground Zero stayed only about 10 days. http://barenakedislam.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/911-tenth-anniversary-memori al-i-suppose-mayor-bloomberg-has-no-room-for-these-first-responders-either/m e-han-wtc/ http://barenakedislam.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/me-han-wtc.jpg?w=420h=315 Thirty-three NYPD K-9 dogs took over recovery operations - sniffing the rubble for remains - for eight months. All of those dogs have since died. The last one, Charlie, a longtime K-9 unit member, passed in January, just a few months shy of his 13th birthday. All told, about 300 dogs contributed to the rescue and long-term recovery effort at Ground Zero, said Roy Gross, a Suffolk County SPCA agent who ran the mobile hospital that cared for the animals. Besides the FEMA and NYPD dogs, you had therapy dogs, brought in to help the rescue searchers, and dozens of volunteers who showed up at the site with their dogs, too, said Gross. http://barenakedislam.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/911-tenth-anniversary-memori

CNN http://tulsachange.com/first-responders-decry-exclusion-from-911-ceremony When debris rained from the sky in lower Manhattan on September 11, 2001, the first responders to the terrorist attack did not turn away. They rushed to the World Trade Center buildings while the world around them crumbled. Yet now, after all the wreckage has been cleared and the rebuilding has begun, their path is again blocked - not by flying chunks of smoldering rubble, but by space constraints. The first responders are not invited to this year's September 11 memorial ceremony at ground zero, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's office confirmed again. It's a painful insult for many of the approximately 3,000 men and women who risked their lives, limbs and lungs on that monumental day, puncturing another hole in a still searing wound. http://barenakedislam.wordpress.com/2011/08/28/mayor-dhimmi-bloomberg-says- we-can-honor-911-first-responders-at-some-other-place-and-time/6a00d83451c49 a69e2015434e9bd04970c-800wi/ http://barenakedislam.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/6a00d83451c49a69e2015434e9 bd04970c-800wi.jpg?w=287h=300 How many of these 9/11 terrorists families will be there? Only 3 weeks have passed since the first responders got cancer excluded from the financial package, but this was not enough for Bloomberg apparently. The first responders that carried their own and other people's family members from Ground Zero have been excluded from the 10th 9/11 ceremony Bloomberg officially confirmed only a few days ago. In a statement, Bloomberg spokesman Andrew Brent said the commemoration ceremony is for the victims' families. (So I guess that will that include the families of the 19 9/11 terrorists too?) While we are again focused on accommodating victims' family members, given the space constraints, we're working to find ways to recognize and honor first responders, and other groups, at different places and times, Brent said.

From Rabbi Berel Wein In spite of all policies, agreements, hopes and wishful thinking, it should be obvious that the Israeli-Arab dispute is nowhere near solution or accommodation. It really is not about borders, land swaps, or even begrudging acceptance of the two-state solution to the dispute. It is something far deeper, religious in nature and hardened over centuries of behavior and custom. It basically is that the Jew, the dhimmi, the infidel, has no right to rule over territory that was once under Moslem sovereignty and certainly no right to rule over Moslem people themselves. The inability of Israel over lo these many decades to face up to this fact has in fact only prolonged and deepened the conflict and made the problem more intractable. It is in reality a biblical epic that we are currently experiencing, not a nice modern day dispute that lends itself to creative diplomacy and realpolitik. In a completely secular world there is no room for biblical epics. The world - and much of the Jewish world as well - believes that the Bible is a story book and that little of it is applicable today. So therefore we find ourselves applying the wrong antibiotic to counteract the true bacteria of hatred and violence that is in reality playing itself out in front of our bewildered eyes. In an oped-article that appeared in Haaretz, the writer stated in the article that we are all people. And that is the crux of the matter and as long as the Jews are not recognized as people this dispute is simply not going to go away anytime soon. Religion, per se, is an ambiguous creature. It can be and has been an enormous force for good in human history. However, in the hands of zealots and fanatics, it can be construed to be a most destructive force. The extremists in the world of Islam have created a situation of hatred and violence, not only against Israel and the Jews but also against Christians, especially the Copts in Egypt as well as against Hindus in the Pakistan - India conflict which continues to simmer after decades. [Commentary by Dr. Carl Goldberg -NOTE: The trouble with Islam is that the extremists are mainstream. They are extremists only from our point of view. From the Islamic religious point of view, they are merely following Allah's instructions as set forth in the Koran.] And to further muddy the waters, the violence in Iraq and Afghanistan is essentially a continuation of the millennia old wars between the Shiite and Sunni brands of Islam while Syria is engulfed in a rebellion against Alewite rule - also a form of heresy to Sunni Moslems - and Libya has degenerated into basic tribal warfare. And all of this is going on without taking into account Iran's determination to define the Arab world in purely Shiite terms and Al Queida's attempts to assert Sunni hegemony over all of mankind. This is not an essentially pretty picture of the Moslem world and its faith as is currently revealed and practiced in universal society. This is religion run amuck, [NOTE: NO! Islam has not run amuck. And, it is not just as is currently revealed. Islam has always had the goal of subjugating the world to Sharia law. In the Koran, Allah commands Moslems to make war on non-Moslems UNTIL Islam reigngs supreme in the world.] as much a danger to itself as to others. Yet the world is hesitant to call these forces to account for their behavior and fanatical beliefs. Whistling past the graveyard now only guarantees more pain, suffering and bloodshed in the future. Because of all of the above, I think it safe to say that these problems are not going to go away anytime soon. It took centuries for the religious wars of Europe and Christendom to end. The Arabs are not going away nor are they likely to have an immediate epiphany and change of heart regarding Israel, the Jews, the Copts, the Hindus, America, etc. [NOTE: It is NOT just the Arabs! The Iranians are NOT Arabs. The problem is with all Moslems, precisely because it is a religious question. And, the Islamic war on non-Moslems can never come to an end because Allah in the Koran requires eternal war against non-Moslems. This is part of Islam's holy text. The religious wars of Europe never had any justification in Christianity's holy texts.] This is going to be a very long haul for all concerned. All of the peace plans and agreements fostered until now have proven to be worthless and in fact counterproductive to any form of true peace. The change of heart necessary to create a climate of compromise and accommodation is simply not in the offing in the Moslem world as a

There will still be voters who go to the polls and pull the wrong lever, but they won't do it because they seriously believe that another term will make America a better place. Rather they will do it for reasons of identity. Political identity, racial identity and because 'anything is better than voting GOP' is also an identity.

And it isn't coming back. No one will ever look up dewy eyed at a giant projected image of the Beloved Leader and see the second coming of JFK. All they will see is the politician they're stuck with. The feeling isn't unique, it's common enough to second term leaders of both parties. Republicans were tired of Bush and Democrats of Clinton, by their second terms. Bush and Clinton fatigue is one reason why Democrats turned on Hillary in 2008 and why a Jeb Bush run meets with so little enthusiasm. But neither of those men had been built up so dramatically, which made the fall less severe. Bush and Clinton never needed much glamor, they were Ivy League boys with Yale degrees slumming as rural populists, thickening their accents and pitching their appeals to the back row. And paradoxically even at their worst, they could always hide behind this false ordinariness. We're only human, just like you, they could say. Glamor is all that Obama ever had. With the greasepaint off, there's nothing there but a surly kid with greying hair. An obnoxious posturing preening brat parading down the runways of the world with his media entourage in tow. Some actors can change from one costume to another, but he is the costume. Worse yet, he isn't even the costume. He's the lights, the stirring music, the hours of anchor commentary, the deliberate pauses, the photographic halos, the teleprompter and the building expectation. Take those things away and there isn't even an empty suit. There's nothing at all. The Democrats have come to feel that hollowness deep inside. That set of unfulfilled expectations that lies like a hole at the heart of their campaign. An emptiness that can only be filled with hate. As Obama's popularity has slipped, he has become more openly hateful. The vindictiveness that was hidden away has been put up for display in the store window. What Clinton might scribble on a memo or tell an aide-- he delivers in a speech. And the worse his numbers have fallen, the uglier his words have become. Obama was never graceful, but the spitefulness is no longer camouflaged. The petty insults have become common as his persona has grown charmless. The scowl hides less deeply behind the practiced smile. Often it no longer hides at all. The small bag of tricks which he used to get this far has been exhausted. There's nothing left now but the angry manipulative child underneath. Having failed as the Messiah of Hope and Change, he is swiftly becoming the Messiah of Hate. With a country in a state of severe economic decline and his own popularity further down the toilet than a burning Koran, there is no other choice left to him. And it's an approach that suits his temperament. Unlike 2008, he can't expect to coast to victory on Hope and Change. This time it's his opponents who are running on that. The halo is gone, but the hate campaign is his best option. No one around him thinks he can sell himself as a better alternative to a generic Republican candidate. But if he can make the Republican candidate look like a completely unpalatable choice to most voters, then he can still win. 2012 is set to be half his 2008 campaign .The dark half. All the smears and demonization without any of the hope. There are an uncounted number of Democratic voters who pulled the lever for him, even though they had second thoughts. Voters who might have naturally gone for McCain, if the media had not done such an excellent job of making the McCain\Palin ticket look like the worst thing since the plague. The goal in 2012 is to retain those voters by doing the same thing all over again.

Under this bill, any rule, precept, instruction, or edict arising directly from the extant rulings of any of the authoritative schools of Islamic jurisprudence of Hanafi, Maliki, Shafii, Hanbali, Jaafariya, or Salafi, as those terms are used by sharia adherents, is prima facie sharia without any further evidentiary showing.

To understand the impact of Sharia law you have to look at other [i.e., Islamic] countries. At its heart it has basic inequalities between Muslims and non-Muslims, and between men and women. The problem with Sharia law being used in tribunals [in Britain] is that it compromises the tradition of equality for all under the law. It threatens the fundamental values that underpin our society.

I was working late in my little office conducting some basic research with my TV on in the background tuned to a black-and-white film, which is and was eminently forgettable. My wife had retired to bed and the house was quiet. The sound on the TV was low, until out of the corner of my eye, I saw the program had turned to color and swiveled in my chair. The feed was directly from America's ABC and the picture was just in time to see the second Boeing 757 slice into the World Trade Center. The commentary was American until a local night shift anchor with a couple of experts in tow attempted to make sense out of the proceedings. I sat glued to TV and then moved to where I could watch on a larger screen. I had one of those dreadful WTF moments as my overpowered senses watched the horror unfold and the towers collapse. I got no sleep that night and like many people around the world, in a single instant, I counted myself as an American, which was not particularly hard as I had many American friends and thoroughly enjoyed my visits to New York. Over the next 36 hours, I had every news outlet covered, while at the same time recording is much as I could for posterity. The orientation of my work shifted almost immediately to an examination of fundamentalist Islam and the notions of jihad. Regrettably I don't speak Arabic but in this case it was not necessary. As I disciplined myself to a regimen of less sleep and a massive collection of information from public sources, the names Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden were being heard increasingly frequently. I was shocked to the core but not paralysis and within a couple of days, my help was being solicited by someone attempting to write a book on the attack and the menace of fundamentalist Islam. These words are potentially politically incorrect but they describe accurately the nature of the beast. I watched hours of TV including the cleanup and the visceral reaction of President George W. Bush. I was struck by his fatigue but steely eyes and on his face I saw signs of shock determination. For many he was regarded as a national political joke but his speech following the attack was a masterpiece of brevity combined with emotion for the nation and perhaps the wider world. It occupies a place of honor in my video library. Apart from the horror and tragedy of the losses, the accounts of bravery on Flight 93 and the omnipresent TV footage every night my initial shock grew into great sympathy for the U.S. and its people but it also evoked a great sense of anger. Coming from a country which was no stranger to war and remembering the air raids only too well, I could only feel a new sense of purpose because unlike many, I had read with interest the works of Samuel P. Huntington on the Clash of Civilizations and as they say in this part of the world, it appeared that he was: right on the money. I soon found my mailbox packed with publications and also requests for assistance in the preparation of a book. One particularly persistent writer, a long-standing acquaintance wanted my assistance in analyzing the role played by the ostensible leader of the attacks, Mohammed Atta. Before I could instil meaning into the whole affair, I had to know more about Osama bin Laden, his background and Al Qaeda. It is no exaggeration to say I burned the midnight oil in my attempts to cover territory and arguments, which in my world, and until that point, could best be described as of marginal interest. I had known that bin Laden had fought against the Soviets in Afghanistan and I knew quite a lot about the arming of the mujahedin and the role played by the CIA, the UKSIS and the Pakistani ISI. The Soviet incursion into Afghanistan was by that time known to have been highly contentious, opposed by Mikhail Gorbachev and Soviet military intelligence who were overridden by hard-line CPSU cadres and the top echelons of the KGB, most notably Yuri Andropov, known in some circles as the Butcher of Budapest for his role in the suppression of the 1956 uprising. Our TV sets had been flooded with glowing accounts of the increasing

Sep 03, 2011 06:09 pm | Jeff Dunetz Finally, we have evidence that Islamists and even al-Qaeda supporters will play a central role in Libya's new regime. Up to now there has been reasonable speculation that the U.S. government and NATO might be installing an anti-Western, Islamist government in Libya. Now there's proof that this is so. The actual government remains in the hands of non-Islamists, technocrats, ex-regime officials, and moderates. But the armed rebels who actually made the revolution have voted and their idol is.an al-Qaeda guy. Political power, said Mao Zedong, grows out of the barrel of a gun and in Libya's case this seems a very reasonable expectation. According to Al Jazeera, the network recommended by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as fair and balanced, Abdul al-Hakim al-Hasadi, also known as Abdelhakim Belhaj, has been named commander of the Tripoli Military Council. He was formerly head of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, an al-Qaeda affiliate. Moderates are understandably nervous. In 1999, the group's spokesman praised Osama bin Laden (remember him?) and http://jeffdunetz.us2.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=9a443c8dc3ed9a1571202c de1id=e2bfcccdefe=e1333e4251 said: The United States no longer relies on its agents to constrict the Islamic tide; it has taken this role upon itself. One of its former leaders worked to plan the attacks on the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, resulting in massive loss of life. In 2003, members were involved in an al-Qaeda terror attack in Morocco. In November 2007, al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri announced that the two groups were merging. True, a number of the group's activists in prison denounced terrorism and made a deal with the Gaddafi regime in order to be set free. But since the organization broke its pledge to Gaddafi in order to overthrow him, presumably that deal no longer stands. At any rate, the group was still designated as terrorist by the U.S. government. http://jeffdunetz.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9a443c8dc3ed9a1571202cd e1id=5ec47bfd06e=e1333e4251 Here it is on the terrorism list (number 26, in alphabetical order) released by the State Department last May. Of course, the appointment of one leader in an al-Qaeda affiliated group does not an Islamist regime make. But it is an omen and, again, the people who control the guns are more important than those who control the desks. We will have to see how things develop. But another indication is that there's more. Who put him in this post? The armed rebels chose al-Hasadi as their commander, not leaving that selection to the NATO-backed Transitional National Council government. Remember, I pointed out that the guys with guns don't care what the guys in suits say. Some council members complained that al-Hasadi is sponsored by Qatar, which gave a lot of the money and whose rulers like to play radical sheikhs who often align themselves with Iran. In fact, we can quote on this point Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, who told a U.S. official in 2007 - as we now know thanks to Wikileaks- He was extremely worried about Qatar and its continued support for Hamas and other Islamist organizations in the West Bank and Gaza.claiming that they provide 'more support to fundamentalists than Kuwait or Saudi Arabia.' U.S. policy has given no sense that it is aware of this problem. Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, chairman of the council, http://jeffdunetz.us2.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=9a443c8dc3ed9a1571202c de1id=14a1123c21e=e1333e4251 said he introduced al-Hasadi to his group's NATO allies to show that he poses no danger to international peace and stability. Well, that's reassuring. We can assume that al-Hasadi said that he was merely young and impulsive, was driven to extremes by Gaddafi's undeniably horrible dictatorship, and is now mature. But that argument would miss the point. Even if he has outgrown al-Qaeda, does he favor the transformation of Libya into an anti-Western Islamist state? Or perhaps he's been bought off by the Western aid money. What do you think? But let me explain to President Barack Obama, the U.S. government, and NATO how this thing is supposed to work. Your key liaison, be it the CIA or State Department, goes to see Jalil and says: As you know our soldiers, supplies, advisors, and warplanes have put you into power. Therefore, you either get rid of all of the al-Qaeda types-at least in positions of any authority-or we stop all of our support and find someone else to head the Transitional National Council. No, TLC [Tender Loving Care] for our interests; no TNC. Now, you could call that bullying or imperialistic if you want, but the TNC doesn't have a right to being supported.

Why must Muslims be always trying to trick the West into letting them stay and have their own way, when they have absolutely no regard for the indigenous customs and laws. This is precisely why they don't belong anywhere outside their Islamic hellholes. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -- Want to discuss this topic?

[osint] ISLAMO-PHOBIC? THINK AGAIN
http://www.newswithviews.com/Rae/debra198.htm ISLAMO-PHOBIC? THINK AGAIN PART 1 By Debra Rae August 27, 2011 NewsWithViews.com Cultural Lessons from Girls of Riyadh and Kuwait Recently I read a fascinating book unlike any other. Translated into English from Arabic, the Girls of Riyadh compiles a series of emails written by a young Saudi Arabian woman who, at the time of the books release, was in Chicago pursuing an endodontic degree.[1] http://www.newswithviews.com/Rae/debra198.htm#_ftn1 At the same time the authors portrayals of her peers are culturally predictable, they are likewise disarmingly surprising. Author Rajaa Alsanea cleverly applies her keen sense of humor and incredibly insightful observations to delightful tales of girlish antics. Within the context of Riyadhs societal and cultural mores, each girls story captures the imagination of readers from the Eastand the curiosity of those from the West. A Worldview Better Felt Than Telt As a woman, I am intrigued by accounts of these girls romances, coupled with their remarkable achievements in academia, not to mention their notable career aspirations. I am further moved that sincerely held religious convictions guide every aspect of their lives. Moreover, in reading these published emails, Im reminded of my own youth. You see, from 1971-1973, I taught at the American School of Kuwait and, in the summer of 1974, I tutored the Kuwaiti Head of Parliaments daughter in preparation for her freshman year of college. This young lady was on her way to the United States, and my job was to school her in colloquialisms and to increase her English vocabulary. To that end, I was invited into her life at home, at work, and at play. Coupled with Alaneas portrayals of girls of Riyadh, my experiences with girls of Kuwait demonstrate how a defined worldview shapes popular culture, education, economies, and geo-political policies enforced by leaders. For this reason, those already invested in a worldview do well to reflect upon that views reach and impact, particularly how it relates to competing or clashing ones. Unfortunately, too many among us choose instead to remain ignorant. Failing to grasp worldviews vying for supremacy in our changing times, the un- or mis- informed fall prey to winds of change that are certain to set their vessels adrift. Effective dialogue between East and West depends on knowledge. Its for this reason that I share simple, but crucial lessons Ive learned from rare glimpses into the ordinary lives of affluent young women of Islam. To these, I add accounts of extraordinary experiences of ordinary Americans when Islamic philosophy and methodology are imposed on them against their will. Not the Western Way Set apart by her uncommon background, Alsanea invites readers (both ladies and gentlemen) to join her as if she were a tour guide to a new world, one closer than what youd imagine. Her expressed task is to provide the inside scoop of conservative Islamic society as experienced by privileged young Saudi women. Escapades of the clique of girl friends she introduces demonstrate how some Muslim women are beginning to carve out their own waya reformed way, yes, but not the Western way. Alsanea makes this point very clear. Keep in mind that reform in the Muslim world means something entirely different to Muslims from what it means to infidelsi.e., non-Muslims. To Asanea and her peers, liberated womanhood rests somewhere in between contemporary Western society and sharia.[2] http://www.newswithviews.com/Rae/debra198.htm#_ftn2 I repeat: Its not the Western way. Even girl friend Michelle, whose maternal family is as American as apple pie, returns home to Saudi Arabia from her visits stateside. The faith of her father beckons Michelle back to her Islamic society largely veiled from Western view. The Girls of Kuwait Also among the affluent upper class, my Kuwaiti student was confident, outspoken, and curious. Myself only twenty-five years of age, we werent much distanced in age. Though I was her teacher, she came across, in many ways, as older (certainly more aggressive) than I. Budding Women of Islam Reading Girls of Riyadh refreshed my recollections of this young ladys group of Kuwaiti girl friends, whose everyday lives were akin to those of the Riyadh girls. Though decades distanced the Saudi clique from their Kuwaiti counterparts, their experiences as Muslim women were more similar than not. First hand observation of contemporary desert life, framed by seventh-century Arabian culture, intrigued me in the 1970s, and all the more today. Whether in Riyadh or Kuwait City, a Muslim womans lot in life is defined by nonnegotiable religious restrictions. While upper class Gulf women study hard and subsequently receive advanced education degrees, they remain under the thumb of a decidedly patriarchal system. Marrying well (and successfully) tops the list of to dos for a dutiful Muslim
[osint] It’s Official: Forget 9/11; It’s “Be Kind to Muslims” Week on TV, Etc.
http://www.debbieschlussel.com/41606/its-official-forget-911-its-be-kind-to- extremist-muslims-week/ September 2, 2011, - 2:40 pm It’s Official: Forget 9/11; It’s “Be Kind to Muslims” Week on TV, Etc. http://www.debbieschlussel.com/41606/its-official-forget-911-its-be-kind-to -extremist-muslims-week/ By http://www.debbieschlussel.com Debbie Schlussel Forget any accurate coverage of the 9/11 attacks and who perpetrated them-19 Arab Muslims. This week on TV and in newspapers is “Be Kind to Muslims” week. The 9/11 coverage on TV, which began this week, is an absurd pander-fest to a huge group of extremists in America-Muslims-and how they are the “real victims.” The whitewash is so obnoxious, it’s beyond disgusting. It began, last night, with the dopey, saccharine Linda Ellerbee’s “coverage” on Nickelodeon, last night. As is typical with Ellerbee (and her dumb bright orange high-top Chuck Taylor tennis shoes), last night was another pander-fest to Muslims, featuring Akbar Ahmed, an Islamic studies professor who is a well-known apologist for Islamic extremism. 911wasanislamjob (Thanks to Reader “Doda McCheesle” for the Graphic) And on Sunday, Soledad O’Brien hosts a CNN special, “Unwelcome: The Muslims Next Door.” Hmmm . . . I’ll bet there’s nothing in this show about the http://www.debbieschlussel.com/2946/religion-of-peace-muslim-indicted-anoth er-guilty-for-death-threats-against-schlussel/ multiple violent, Holocaust-denying, anti-Semitic death threats I’ve gotten from Muslims since 9/11. And I’ll bet she doesn’t ask a single Muslim in the show whether he or she will condemn HAMAS and Hezbollah. ‘Cuz they won’t. Uh, Soledad, here’s a tip: that and other reasons, like honor killings (which I’ll bet also won’t be mentioned), are why Muslims should be unwelcome here. But, sadly, they are all too welcome, because, as I pointed out, http://www.debbieschlussel.com/41425/pew-report-13-of-us-muslims-support-al -qaeda-60-say-911-attacks-not-done-by-muslims-arabs-13-say-being-muslim-conf licts-w-modern-society-25-came-to-us-under-bush/ 25% of all Muslims currently in America came here between 2000 and 2011. So her “unwelcome” stuff is BS. Soledad O’Brien = moron, liar, propagandist. No surprise for the Al-Crescent News Network. Here’s a preview of this BS: Below is a USA Today summary of all the “TV Remembers 9/11″ crap to which we’ll be subjected. I call it crap because not a single show-NOT ONE-talks about the Islamic threat. Instead, the few shows that mention Islam and Muslims are apologist and pandering. PBS a/k/a Palestinian Broadcasting Service, tells us, on “America Remembers - 9/11,” about efforts of American Muslims to get beyond the mistrust sowed by the attacks. And “The Space Between” a fictional movie about 9/11 tells us the story of a flight attendant (Oscar winner Melissa Leo) who accompanies a young Pakistani-American boy (Anthony Keyvan) from Texas to NYC, where his father works in the World Trade Center. Yes, because of all the kids of 9/11 victims about whom they could have made a fictional movie about, they chose a Muslim kid. Again, 9/11 is all about the Muslims-as victims, NOT as the perpetrators that they were and continue to be. And supporters of Al-Qaeda and violence against Americans (as I noted, this week, the http://www.debbieschlussel.com/41425/pew-report-13-of-us-muslims-support-al -qaeda-60-say-911-attacks-not-done-by-muslims-arabs-13-say-being-muslim-conf licts-w-modern-society-25-came-to-us-under-bush/ Pew Research survey of Muslims in America showed that 1/3 of them support Al-Qaeda to some degree, as well as suicide bombings). http://www.debbieschlussel.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/911tvcoverage_000 1.jpg http://www.debbieschlussel.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/911tvcoverage_0001 .jpg http://www.debbieschlussel.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/911tvcoverage_000 2.jpg http://www.debbieschlussel.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/911tvcoverage_0002 .jpg You might also like: [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -- Want to discuss this topic?

[osint] Sharia Takes Hold in Germany
09/01/2011 04:26 PM Parallel Justice Islamic 'Arbitrators' Shadow German Law By Maximilian Popp In mosques or tearooms, Muslim elders dispense verdicts that keep their communities in line. They mediate between aggrieved immigrants, sometimes at the expense of German justice. Some say the arbitrations ease caseloads in court, but others see the creeping advance of Sharia law. The men ambushed Fuat S. on the street, then locked him in a basement and tortured him. Fuat was later admitted to the hospital in Berlin's Neukölln district with gaping wounds, contusions and broken bones. Police took his statement concerning the attack the same night. Fuat S., a gambler and a recipient of Hartz IV -- Germany's social welfare benefits for the long-term unemployed -- gave a detailed statement. He'd conned an acquaintance, Mustafa O., out of €150,000 ($217,000) and the man was taking his revenge, Fuat said, together with his three brothers. They hit his hands, arms and knees with a hammer and threatened to shoot him. The public prosecutor's office in Berlin initiated proceedings against Mustafa O., a Palestinian man who had come to their attention repeatedly for violent acts. Police had investigated him in a number of cases, and now prosecutors saw an opportunity to convict a dangerous repeat offender. But when the case began, Fuat S., the principle witness, unexpectedly withdrew his testimony. It was not Mustafa who had tortured him, he said, but an Albanian man he didn't know. Mustafa, he said, wasn't even in the basement at the time. This was clearly a lie, as police analysis of telephone data showed, but the judge was forced to acquit the defendant due to lack of evidence. The decision, in fact, was reached by a different judge. According to police, the victim's and the perpetrator's families had met at a restaurant in the presence of an Islamic justice of the peace, an arbitrator who mediates conflicts between Muslims. The two families had reached a compromise: Fuat would drop the charges, and in exchange be relieved of part of his debt. According to Bernhard Mix, the public prosecutor in charge of the case, Fuat's false testimony was part of a deal between the families. It's difficult to establish the truth using legal means, when the perpetrator and the victim reach an agreement, he says. Judges Without Laws Politicians and social workers tend to focus on forced marriages and honor killings, but the baleful influence of these Islamic arbitrators has gone largely unnoticed by the public. Joachim Wagner, an author and television journalist of many years, has taken a closer look at the phenomenon in his book Richter ohne Gesetz (Judges without Laws). Reconstructing Mustafa O.'s case, he reaches the conclusion that the Islamic parallel justice system is becoming a threat to the constitutional legal system. These justices of the peace don't wear robes. Their courtrooms are mosques or teahouses. They draw their authority not from the law, but from their standing within the community. Most of them are senior members of their families, or imams, and some even fly in from Turkey or Lebanon to resolve disputes. Muslims seek them out when families argue, when daughters take up with nonbelievers or when clans clash. They often trust these arbitrators more than they trust the state. The late juvenile court judge Kirsten Heisig drew attention to this problem a year ago: The law is slipping out of our hands. It's moving to the streets, or into a parallel system where an imam or another representative of the Koran determines what must be done. In Wagner's book, judges and prosecutors tell of threats toward public officials and systematic interference with witnesses. We know we're being given a performance, but the courts are powerless, says Stephan Kuperion, a juvenile court judge in Berlin. Federal public prosecutor Jörn Hauschild warns, It would be a terrible development if serious criminal offences in these circles could no longer be resolved. The legal system would be reduced to collecting victims. So who are these men who make the decisions about justice and love, lives and monetary compensation? 'They Trust Me' Hassan Allouche sits behind the wheel of his station wagon, steering the vehicle through Berlin's rush hour traffic with one hand, talking on his cell phone. Two Arabs have called on him for help in a rent dispute. He lights a cigarette and says, People are afraid of the authorities. They trust me. Allouche came to Germany from Lebanon 37 years ago. He acts as a religious arbitrator, just as his great-grandfather did before him. People greet him on the streets of Berlin, shaking his hand or bowing. He's kept us from a great deal of harm, one Turkish businessman says. Allouche's brother was shot while trying to resolve a conflict, and since then he always wears a bulletproof vest when doing his work. He says he mediates 200 cases a
[osint] Sharia Law is Arbitrary and Unjust
09/01/2011 04:31 PM Islamic Justice in Europe 'It's Often a Dictate of Power' Using Sharia law to settle disputes can be innocent, but it can also undermine Western ideas of fairness. Journalist Joachim Wagner, author of a new book on parallel justice, discusses the influence of Islamic arbitrators on Germany's legal system. SPIEGEL: Mr. Wagner, you spent nine months researching the Islamic shadow justice system. What kind of a world is it? Wagner: Very foreign, and for a German lawyer, completely incomprehensible at first. It follows its own rules. The Islamic arbitrators aren't interested in evidence when they deliver a judgment, and unlike in German criminal law, the question of who is at fault doesn't play much of a role. SPIEGEL: What laws do the arbitrators follow? Wagner: First, they get an idea of the facts. They talk with the perpetrator's family, who are generally the ones to have called the arbitrator, and with the victim's family. They ask: Why did this happen? How bad is the damage? How serious is the injury? But for them, a solution to the conflict, a compromise, is the most important thing. Who's right and wrong, guilt and atonement, these aren't particularly relevant. SPIEGEL: What's wrong with two parties attempting to resolve a dispute between themselves? Wagner: Nothing, initially. The problem starts when the arbitrators force the justice system out of the picture, especially in the case of criminal offenses. At that point they undermine the state monopoly on violence. Islamic conflict resolution in particular, as I've experienced it, is often achieved through violence and threats. It's often a dictate of power on the part of the stronger family. SPIEGEL: How prevalent is the phenomenon? Wagner: As far as I know, very prevalent. There are no reliable statistics, since these mediations take place almost exclusively in secret. But criminal investigators who specialize in organized crime and violence within Muslim immigrant families have confirmed for me that in nearly every conflict in this milieu, the first attempt is to find a solution outside the German justice system. SPIEGEL: You write that Islamic arbitration poses a threat to the constitutional legal system. Why? Wagner: These arbitrators try to resolve conflicts according to Islamic law and to sideline German criminal law. We see witness testimony withdrawn (from German courts) and accusations trivialized to the point where an entire case runs aground. The justice system is powerless, partly because it hasn't tackled the problem vigorously enough. SPIEGEL: Some reports from judges and public prosecutors in your book sound like a cry for help. Wagner: They're overwhelmed, because they don't know how to react. They're in the middle of a legal case, and suddenly there's no evidence. Eighty-seven percent of the cases I researched either were dismissed or ended with an acquittal when Islamic arbitrators were involved. SPIEGEL: How can we combat this shadow justice system? Wagner: Prosecutors need to investigate Islamic arbitrators more intensively. If they had done so sooner, the arbitrators would have been convicted of obstruction of justice long ago. And certain lawyers need to stop behaving as if they were mere servants to a parallel justice system. They allow themselves to be directed by their clients' desires, regardless of truth and justice. And finally, my plea would be for judges to hear witnesses earlier, which would reduce the arbitrators' influence.

If you've looked into it, and especially if you've read the Quran, you realize the extremists are following standard, mainstream Islamic doctrine. That's a real shock when this first dawns on you. One day when I was reading yet another popular Muslim leader giving a speech and saying something that would be considered inflammatory rhetoric if I said it, but that was nothing more than just plain, ordinary Islamic teachings, I thought I should start collecting a list. Here's what I have so far (below). I'm sure I'll add to it as I go along, and I hope you to add to it in the comments. I thought you could send this list of quotes to those people who tell you the terrible stuff you say about Islam only applies to a fringe group of nutcases who have hijacked Islam and twisted and distorted peaceful Islamic teachings into something bad. You could quote chapter and verse from Islamic source books until you're blue in the face without making a dent because they'll think hardly any Muslims nowadays believe in that stuff. This list should disabuse anyone of the notion that the incessant intolerance, hatred, and even violence against non-Muslims is fringe. This is not just a small group of radicals. This is Islam, plain and simple. The leaders quoted below are hugely popular, even famous mainstream leaders in the Islamic world. For each quote, I've provided an online source. Let's begin: Ali Gomaa, the grand mufti of Egypt, the highest Muslim religious authority in the world, supports murdering non-Muslims. In the daily Al Ahram (April 7, 2008), he said, Muslims must kill non-believers wherever they are unless they convert to Islam. He also compares non-Muslims to apes and pigs. http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/8066 Source Muhammad Sayyid Al Tantawi, president of Al Azhar University (the most prominent and authoritative institute of Islamic jurisprudence in the world) also approves of killing and maiming Christians, Jews, and other infidels. He added, This is not my personal view. This what the Shari'a Law says, the law of Allah, the only valid law on the earth. http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/8066 Source Syed Abul Ala Maududi, founder of the Pakistani political party Jamaat-e-Islami, said non-Muslims have absolutely no right to seize the reins of power in any part of God's earth nor to direct the collective affairs of human beings according to their own misconceived doctrines. If they do, the believers would be under an obligation to do their utmost to dislodge them from political power and to make them live in subservience to the Islamic way of life. http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/07/bangladesh-bans-book-by-islamic-supremaci st-maududi.html Source The Chief Justice of Saudi Arabia, Sheikh abdullah bin Muhammad bin Humaid teaches that at first fighting was forbidden, then it was permitted, and after that it was made obligatory. He clearly identifies two groups Muslims are obligated to fight: (1) they who start fighting against Muslims, and (2) they who worship gods other than Allah. https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0BzmyuCXS2sTdZDcxYTA1YzYtOWJmNS00YzNmLW I4YTMtNjRiNDRmMDExYzg3hl=enpli=1 Source The most prominent Muslim scholar of the 20th century, Sheikh Abu Ala Maududi, stated in his book, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006AUS4W?ie=UTF8tag=cw0846-20linkCode= as2camp=1789creative=390957creativeASIN=B0006AUS4W Islamic Law and Constitution, on p. 262, that the Islamic State seeks to mould every aspect of life and activity. In such a state no one can regard any field of his affairs as personal and private. Considered from this aspect the Islamic State bears a kind of resemblance to the Fascist and Communist states. Maududi added Islam wishes to destroy all states and governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and program of Islam. http://frontpagemag.com/2010/02/18/islamic-indoctrination-vs-education/prin t/ Source http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__hspjzfC024/TKZZopj_jTI/CNI/Hzcg4wD-Lxg/s 1600/hassan-al-banna.jpg http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__hspjzfC024/TKZZopj_jTI/CNI/Hzcg4wD-Lxg/s4 00/hassan-al-banna.jpg http://www.citizenwarrior.com/2007/10/hasan-al-banna-on-jihad.html Hasan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood (the largest international Islamic organization in the

According to the Asia Times' Pepe Escobar, however, Belhadj, founder and emir of the previously (presently?) al-Qaeda-allied Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), is not alone. He is one of many such jihad commanders. Escobar http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/MH30Ak01.html writes: Hardly by accident, all the top military rebel commanders are LIFG, from Belhaj in Tripoli to one Ismael as-Salabi in Benghazi and one Abdelhakim al-Assadi in Derna, not to mention a key asset, Ali Salabi, sitting at the core of the TNC. It was Salabi who negotiated with Saif al-Islam Gaddafi the end of LIFG's jihad, thus assuring the bright future of these born-again freedom fighters. The quotation marks around end denote the LIFG leaders' phony renuciation of jihad against the Qaddafi regime and violence in general that led to their 2010 release. Question of the day: Are these same Islamic jihadists who command rebel forces in Libya the very terrorists the US is now scrambling to deprive of some 20,000 shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles from the Qaddafi arsenal? From http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-08-26/u-s-racing-to-beat-terrorists-in-h unt-for-libya-s-anti-aircraft-missiles.html Bloomberg: The U.S. plans to deploy two contractors to Libya with the exclusive job of tracking down and destroying shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles before they fall into the hands of terrorists. With so much of Libya in control of US-NATO-supported LIFG-led rebel forces, the fact that these forces are apparently not trusted to secure these weapons suggests that the answer is way too much of a yes for comfort. The State Department also will deploy an in-house specialist in controlling and destroying the portable missiles to oversee the team, which is expected to arrive in early September, according to an official who wasn't authorized to speak publicly on the subject. State Department officials notified Congress of these plans Aug. 15, the day before rebels stormed the Libyan capital of Tripoli, a decisive break in the sixth-month-old civil war. There is evidence that a small number of Soviet-made SA-7 anti-aircraft missiles from Qaddafi's arsenal have reached the black market in Mali, where al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb is active, according to two U.S. government officials not authorized to speak on the record. Al Qaeda in the Islamic Mahgreb? As Escobar writes: In 2007, then al-Qaeda's number two, Zawahiri, officially announced the merger between the LIFG and al-Qaeda in the Islamic Mahgreb (AQIM). So, for all practical purposes, since then, LIFG/AQIM have been one and the same - and Belhaj was/is its emir. Gee, ya think LIFG might have shipped any of those weapons to their AQIM brothers...? Congratualtions, America: Ten years after 9/11, Uncle Sucker has apparently become Al Qaeda's stalwart ally in North Africa. Meanwhile, there's not even cold comfort to take from evidence that only a small number of the missiles have shown up for sale, and merely in Mali. This week, Haaretz http://www.haaretz.com/news/middle-east/israeli-officials-palestinians-in-g aza-got-anti-aircraft-missiles-from-libya-1.381395 reported: Palestinians in Gaza have acquired anti-aircraft and anti-tank rockets from Libya during its six-month civil war, enlarging but not significantly improving their arsenal, Israeli officials said on Monday Sounds as if the US weapon-hunters are too late. http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/ FamilySecurityMatters.org Contributor Diana West is a journalist and columnist whose writing appears in several high profile outlets.

[osint] Handing Libya to al-Qaeda
http://www.prisonplanet.com/libya-the-greatest-betrayal.html http://www.prisonplanet.com/libya-the-greatest-betrayal.html Libya: The Greatest Betrayal In handing Libya to Al Qaeda, the line has been forever crossed Tony Cartalucci http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2011/08/greatest-betrayal.html Land Destroyer Monday, August 29, 2011 First - let's not labor under any delusions. Obama, Cameron, and Sarkozy are heads of state in name only. It is the depravity and megalomania amongst http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2011/03/naming-names-your-real-government .html the banks, corporations, and the institutions they have contrived, that are responsible for the most egregious betrayal in Western history. For 10 years the West's leadership have stirred up hatred and fear amongst their populations to justify a lengthy and very costly global war that has sent US, British, Canadian, German, French, and many other troops, around the world, into dangerous adversity, and ultimately to their graves to fight the forces of terror. Now, almost as if savoring the irony, http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/19/world/africa/19rebel.html?_r=3 the New York Times, on behalf of the corporate-financier oligarchs that presume dominion over the Western world, fully admit that Al Qaeda terrorists, http://tarpley.net/2011/03/24/the-cia%E2%80%99s-libya-rebels-the-same-terro rists-who-killed-us-nato-troops-in-iraq/ men who literally killed US troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan are now in Libya and are the benefactors of billions of dollars in Western aid, diplomatic recognition, training, weapons, the lending of intelligence assets, the full unwavering support of the West's media, NATO-member air support, and even graced with Western special forces fighting side-by-side with them on the ground. This timely confession is also in response in part to revelations that the Libyan rebel commander now filling the streets of Tripoli with indescribable horror is a hardcore Al Qaeda leader, reported http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/libya/840704 7/Libyan-rebel-commander-admits-his-fighters-have-al-Qaeda-links.html first in the Telegraph months ago, and again this week http://rt.com/usa/news/al-qaeda-libya-commander-escobar-269/ on RT and covered in depth by respected geopolitical analyst http://tarpley.net/2011/08/27/al-qaeda-commander-of-natos-bloody-reign-of-t error-in-tripoli-is-the-monster-abdel-hakim-belhadj/ Dr. Webster Tarpley. While naive Americans are brimming with pride as the military machine bankrupting them into destitution rolls over another minute nation an ocean away, they seem ignorant or unable to wrap their minds around how egregiously they've been betrayed. After 10 years, thousands of dead troops, tens of thousands broken mentally or physically, an economy diverted to war, occupation, and nation building overseas while America's infrastructure rots beneath her, the corporate-financier oligarchs have decided to betray and infinitely humiliate America's armed forces in the worst manner imaginable - have them provide air cover, intel, and special operational support for blood-thirsty mercenaries that hunted and killed their brothers in arms for the past decade. Entire families have been destroyed, communities devastated by the loss of their brothers and sisters, friends, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, fighting what they thought was a war for the very survival of their way of life. Today, in Libya, with Al Qaeda literally being handed a nation-state by these corporate-financiers through their political and military proxies, the leaders we have elected and the corporations we have helped grow to monstrous proportions now squat upon the graves our nation's fallen and defile their memories and the ideals they believed they were giving their lives for in an unforgivable way. And while it will be claimed by many that this is Obama's War, it most certainly is not. The very cadre of Neo-Conservatives that engineered the last decade of debilitating global war at the expense of American blood and treasure have been quietly cheerleading the expansion of NATO's intervention in Libya. This can be seen in unequivocal terms http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2011/06/pnac-reborn-calling-for-greater-l ibyan.html in a letter written to US House Republicans imploring them to end their resistance to the current, unconstitutional war, and instead discard the UNSC resolution and give even more support for the terrorists seizing Libya on their behalf. Paul Wolfowitz, Elliott Abrams, Max Boot, Frederick Kagan, Karl Rove, Ellen Bork, Robert Kagan, Liz Cheney, William Kristol, Dan Senor, and James Woolsey are just some of the names of individuals that affixed their signatures at the bottom of this letter. Quite clearly, this is not exclusively Obama's War, rather one engineered and promoted by the Fortune 500 banks and corporations that include both Obama and America's most notorious Neo-Conservatives as

The Northern League says this is a provocation. Manes Bernardini of the Northern League asked the Bologne municipality not to approve the expo, and in any case, not to partner with it. Bernardini added that he wouldn't do such a thing in a Muslim country, and that that having the expo might lead to requests to remove the Christmas tree in the nearby square. Yassine Lafram of the Young Muslims of Italy says that the expo is not a provocation against the Catholic Church, and that Christmas time was chosen because people are on holiday, and it would allow more people to come. He said that the event is not only for Muslims and that everybody is invited to come. Lafram compared the expo to the Festa de l'Unità and said it will be a gathering of young people from all over Italy who will come to discuss and affect integration. The expo will offer discussions on the situation of Muslims, how they should behave and integrate and what added value they bring.

[osint] NATO Admits UK and France May have Troops in Libya
http://inteldaily.com/2011/08/nato-admits-uk-and-france-may-have-troops-in-l ibya NATO admits UK and France may have troops in Libya AUGUST 29, 2011 by http://en.rian.ru/world/20110829/166274046.html RIA Novosti NATO has revealed its member countries may have troops on the ground in Libya. In an interview with the EUobserver website, an unnamed NATO official admitted Britain and France may have deployed troops in Libya, but said that it would be unfair to call them NATO forces. In comments carried by state news channel Rossiya 24 on Sunday, the Russian ambassador to NATO, Dmitry Rogozin, said there was direct evidence that British and French special forces were carrying out ground operations in Libya in violation of UN Security Council resolution 1973. The resolution, passed in March, authorized a no-fly zone over Libya and use of all necessary measures to protect civilians. NATO spokeswoman Oana Lungescu said last week the alliance had no troops on the ground in Libya, and would not have any after the regime fell. The leading role in the post-Gaddafi period in supporting the Libyan people rests with the United Nations and the Contact Group. NATO will be in a supporting role. NATO will have no troops on the ground, Lungescu told reporters in Brussels. British Defense Secretary Liam Fox told Sky News last week the rebels were getting intelligence and reconnaissance assistance from NATO. Last week, Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper claimed Britain's elite Special Air Service regiment (SAS) were helping the rebels hunt down Col Muammar Gaddafi, whose forces have lost control of most of the country including the capital Tripoli. Gaddafi's whereabouts remain unknown, though the transitional government says he is still in hiding in Tripoli. A former member of the SAS told RIA Novosti last week that UK special forces had been in Libya since day one of the insurrection. The rebels, who seized Tripoli a week ago, have offered a $1.3 million reward and amnesty from prosecution for anyone who kills or captures Gaddafi. Meanwhile, the rebels are trying to advance toward Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte east of Tripoli, but are continuing to meet resistance from the deposed leader's loyalists.

[osint] Muslim's Establish No-Go Areas in Conquered Europe
http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.10280/pub_detail.asp August 31, 2011 The Walls That Divide Europe http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/authors/id.129/author_detail.asp Herbert London Print This javascript:%20printVersion() E-mail This javascript:%20emailVersion() javascript:void(0); http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/images/share.png ShareThis javascript:void(0); Comments (1) http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/comments.asp?id=10280 http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/imgLib/20110830_EiffelWall.jpg It is something of an old chestnut that good fences make for good neighbors, but it is also true that walls often keep people in and usually keep people out. This was true of the Berlin Wall erected in 1961 and it is true of the walls being erected throughout Europe today. These contemporary walls operate under the name of no go zones, areas that are off limits to non-Muslims. These zones function as microstates governed by Sharia. In many locations from Malmo to Hamburg, from Liverpool to Rotterdam host country authorities have lost effective control over this zones and in many instances are unable to provide even basic public aid such as police and fire assistance and ambulance services without permission from the local imam. Here in unvarnished terms are the influences of multicultural policies that encouraged Muslim immigrants to live in parallel societies walled in through a desire for separation and the host's desire to avoid integration. In Britain, for example, a Muslim group called Muslims Against The Crusades, has launched a campaign to convert twelve British cities - including Londonistan - into independent Islamic states. In the Tower Hamlets area of East London extremist Muslim preachers routinely issue death threats to women who refuse to wear Islamic veils. Neighborhood streets are plastered with posters declaring You are entering a Sharia controlled zone; Islamic rules enforced. The Muslim extremist Abu Izzadeen heckled the former Home Secretary John Reid by saying, How dare you come to a Muslim area. At last count the French police maintain there are 751 no go zones (Zones Urbaines Sensibles, ZUS) listed on the French government website. And mosques in Paris have been broadcasting sermons and chants of Allahu Akbar via loudspeakers into the streets. By any stretch, this represents an occupation force in France. In a widely publicized event, fire fighters in Malmo Sweden were attacked by Muslim stone throwers in their effort to extinguish a fire in the town's main mosque. The argument for the disruption was that the fire fighting team did not obtain permission from the imams to enter their community. According to Malmo-based Imam Adly Abu Hajar: Sweden is the best Islamic state. These walls that divide are having a profound influence on European societies. Muslim extremists employ the separation as a tactic to proselytize and Europeans often describe these zones as evidence Muslims cannot be integrated. The governments in question, eager to maintain stability, acquiesce in favor of the multicultural position. However, the acquiescence does not yield an expected result. The no-go zones breed hostility; these areas are time-bombs waiting to be set off by even relatively benign circumstances. For decades the Berlin Wall was a symbol separating two worlds: freedom and dictatorship. It is instructive that the new walls separate liberal values from notions of religious extremism in a manner not entirely dissimilar from the past. Guns, tanks and barbed wire do not separate no go zones from host societies, but the separation is real and no less dangerous. http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/authors/ FamilySecurityMatters.org Contributing Editor http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/authors/id.129/author_detail.asp Herbert London is president of Hudson Institute and professor emeritus of New York University.

[osint] Democrats, Marxists Join Muslim Terror Fronts to Defend Sharia
http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.10269/pub_detail.asp August 29, 2011 Center for American Progress defends Shariah, charges America with 'Islamophobia' http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/authors/id.113/author_detail.asp Frank Gaffney, Jr. Print This javascript:%20printVersion() E-mail This javascript:%20emailVersion() javascript:void(0); http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/images/share.png ShareThis javascript:void(0); Comments (0) http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/comments.asp?id=10269 http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/imgLib/20110829_FEARinc.jpg Image from the cover of FEAR, inc., the CAP's so-called report. There they go again. Last week, the Center for American Progress released Fear, Inc., yet another report in the increasingly hysterical bullying campaign to shout down criticism of political Islamist efforts to influence American foreign and domestic policy. Their latest copy and paste effort duplicates large sections of five nearly identical investigations just this year, complaining that millions of concerned Americans are Islamophobes. The primary organizations-- what should be called the Shariah Defense Lobby-- are the Center for American Progress/ThinkProgress, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) with support from a handful of other far-left or Islamist bloggers and Washington lobbyists. The Shariah Defense Lobby whitewashes and protects political, legal, military and religious doctrines of Shariah law (Islamic law) from scrutiny. One of its major goals is to silence all criticism of Islamist aggression, jihadist violence, or Shariah violations of human rights and civil liberties. Frank J. Gaffney, president of the Center for Security Policy, noted that: The 'Shariah Defense Lobby' is in a race against time to hide the grim reality of Shariah law as it is actually enforced, as Islamist movements and political parties throughout the Arab world are aggressively seeking to govern by Shariah. Most significantly, the 'Shariah Defense Lobby' refuses to discuss a simple fact: secular and democratic activists in Egypt and elsewhere in the Muslim world oppose Shariah in their countries, just as Americans oppose it here. The latest report also attacks venerable American family foundations for supporting educational efforts on national security and counter-terrorism. The funding sources of the Shariah Defense Lobby should be exposed to public scrutiny. For example, CAIR-- an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror financing trial in American history-- has reportedly received http://t.ymlp193.com/qjwhaxauujeanamuqalauyhjb/click.php millions in foreign funding from Islamist contributors, including the Organization of Islamic Conference (aka Cooperation). This year, CAIR lost its nonprofit tax status because of its refusal to file tax forms that would have revealed its sources of funding. In addition to CAIR's foreign financing, this latest paper from the Center for American Progress reveals that the project depends on money from the Open Society Foundations, a funding vehicle of far-left billionaire George Soros. George Soros is chairman of Soros Fund Management LLC. He has amassed a http://t.ymlp193.com/qjwwakauujeagamuqazauyhjb/click.php personal fortune estimated at about $14.5 billion (as of 2011). His company, http://t.ymlp193.com/qjwqakauujeapamuqaaauyhjb/click.php Soros Fund Management, controls at least another $27.9 billion in investor assets. Soros's foundation network-- whose flagship is the Open Society Institute (OSI)-- has reportedly http://t.ymlp193.com/qjwyalauujeapamuqadauyhjb/click.php dispensed billions to a multitude of far left organizations. The Shariah Defense Lobby, which aggressively defends Shariah from its critics, has produced a year-long campaign of remarkably identical agitprop papers, all with a single goal: to attack the millions of Americans who are concerned about political Islamists' growing power here in the U.S. and abroad. In these increasingly shrill reports, the Shariah Defense Lobby keeps attempting to silence the great majority of Americans who express legitimate concerns about home-grown Islamist terrorism, and about Islamist efforts to enforce Shariah law on American Muslim families and even on non-Muslim Americans. The Center for American Progress-- authors of Fear, Inc.-- are trying to make Americans afraid of discussing one of the greatest national security threats we face. Thankfully, the American people aren't buying what they're selling: the campaign is having the opposite effect of what the Lobby intends.

Onyango, half-sister of Obama's late father, moved to the United States in 2000 and she was ordered deported in 2004. Source: AP BARACK Obama's long-lost Uncle Omar has been arrested for alleged drink-driving outside Boston and detained as an illegal immigrant, The Times can reveal. The arrest ends a mystery over the fate of a relative that the US President wrote in his memoir had moved to America from Kenya in the 1960s, although the circumstances of his discovery may now prove to be an embarrassment for the White House. Official records say Onyango Obama, 67, was picked up outside the Chicken Bone Saloon in Framingham, Massachusetts, at 7.10pm on August 24. Police say he nearly crashed his Mitsubishi 4x4 into a patrol car, and then insisted that the officer should have given way to him. A report filed with the Framingham District Court said that a breathalyser at the police station registered his blood alcohol at 0.14mg/100ml of blood, above the state limit of 0.08mg. According to a local newspaper, Mr Obama was charged with driving under the influence and driving to endanger, as well as failing to use a turn signal. He was detained as an illegal immigrant because the US Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement has an outstanding warrant for him because he was previously ordered to be deported to Kenya. The Times has established from his birthdate that Mr Obama is the Uncle Omar mentioned in President Obama's best-selling memoir Dreams from My Father. In the 1995 book, President Obama writes of the uncle who had left for America 25 years ago and had never come back. In 2008, The Times mounted a search for Uncle Omar. Instead of finding him, we discovered his sister, President Obama's Auntie Zeituni, who was living as an illegal immigrant on a Boston housing estate. Uncle Omar and Auntie Zeituni are the children of President Obama's grandfather Hussein Onyango Obama, by his third wife Sarah, the woman President Obama calls Granny, because she raised his father, Barack Sr, who was Hussein Obama's son by Hussein's second wife, Akumu. The 2008 investigation unearthed public records naming an O. Onyango Obama, born on June 3, 1944, living at a house in the Boston suburbs, where he was known as Obama Onyango. Framingham police records list the man arrested last week as Onyango Obama, with the same birth date, June 3, 1944. According to local reports, Officer Val Krishtal and another driver had to slam on their brakes to avoid hitting Mr Obama's car, which rolled through a stop sign and took a quick left turn. Mr Obama allegedly told the officer he had right of way and said he doubted the officer was forced to brake hard as he did not hear his brakes squeal. Mr Obama pleaded not guilty at his remand hearing, but was held in custody because of the immigration warrant. He now faces a legal battle. His sister Zeituni eventually won the right to live in America despite an earlier deportation order. Margaret Wong, the Cleveland lawyer who successfully represented Zeituni, confirmed through a representative last night that she has also been retained to defend Mr Obama. Before he went to America, we all knew him as Omar. But he dropped that bit, changing it to Obama Onyango, because he said he preferred his African name, said Nelson Ochieng, a cousin in the Kenyan city of Kisumu. Mr Obama's landlady in Boston went to court to evict him in 2000 for non-payment of his dollars 500-a-month rent. He was also a partner in a convenience store that was set up in 1992, and was attacked in a robbery at the shop in 1994 by two men armed with a sawn-off rifle.

The entrails and genitals are then removed (drawn), the head cut off and the torso hacked into four quarters. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111903352704576536721588294828.ht ml?mod=WSJ_hp_MIDDLENexttoWhatsNewsThird * AUGUST 29, 2011 Lockerbie Case: Libyans Won't Deport Bomber TRIPOLI, Libya-The Libyan rebel government won't deport the man convicted of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, its justice minister said. 0828megrahi Associated Press In this Aug. 20, 2009 file photo, Libyan Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, who was found guilty of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, gestures on his arrival in Tripoli, Libya. The Libyan rebels' interim government says it will not deport the man convicted of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing. New York senators last week asked the Libyan national transitional government to hold Abdel-Baset al-Megrahi fully accountable for the bombing of Pan Am flight 103, which killed 270 people. But the transitional government's justice minister, Mohammed al-Alagi, said Sunday in Tripoli that the request by American senators had no meaning because Mr. Megrahi had already been tried and convicted. We will not hand over any Libyan citizen. It was Gadhafi who handed over Libyan citizens, he said, referring to the government's decision to turn Mr. Megrahi over to a Scottish court for trial. The Scottish government released Mr. Megrahi in 2009, saying it believed he would soon die of cancer. He was greeted as a hero in his native Libya and met with Col. Moammar Gadhafi. New York Senator Charles Schumer had encouraged the new Libyan leadership to hold Mr. Megrahi accountable. A new Libya can send a strong statement to the world by declaring it will no longer be a haven for this convicted terrorist, he said. Scottish officials overseeing Mr. Megrahi's parole have said they want to contact him now that the fighting between Libyan forces and rebels has reached Tripoli. Mr. Megrahi is the only person convicted of the Lockerbie bombing, Britain's worst terrorist attack. His release after serving eight years of a life sentence infuriated the families of many victims, who suspected Britain's real motive was to improve relations with oil-rich Libya. Mr. Megrahi's current whereabouts are unknown, and on Saturday no one answered the door of his villa, hidden behind high walls in an upscale Tripoli neighborhood. A neighbor, Yousef Mohammed, said he saw Mr. Megrahi's son in the street on Friday and assumed the family hadn't left the area. No private guards or rebel fighters were visible in the quiet side street of walled villas. The neighbor, said he often saw Mr. Megrahi in the neighborhood. This guy is sick. All the time, I saw him in the heelchair, he said. Mr. Mohammed said that he and other neighbors didn't believe Mr. Megrahi was involved in the Lockerbie bombing and that the family was well liked in the neighborhood.

The European Commission said there was no need to recapitalize the banks over and above what had been agreed after a recent annual stress test check of their ability to withstand economic and financial market headwinds. I don't think so. This discussion has already taken place between the EU and the IMF, and the IMF is well aware of the results and the follow-up decided after the stress-tests, Commission spokesman Amadeu Altafaj said. Lagarde, speaking at an annual meeting of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, on Saturday urged politicians to act now or risk seeing the fragile recovery derailed. Banks need urgent recapitalization, Lagarde said. The most efficient solution would be mandatory substantial recapitalization -- seeking private resources first, but using public funds if necessary. The former French finance minister did not elaborate. The European Union has already urged national governments to provide capital to banks identified as weak by the stress tests if they are unable to raise capital on their own. Last month a summit of euro zone leaders agreed to let the bloc's 440 billion euro ($632 billion) bailout fund finance the recapitalization of banks if necessary, even in countries which are not receiving international bailouts. Earlier this month, large French and Italian banks suffered steep share price declines on speculation about their financial strength, prompting France, Italy, Spain and Belgium to impose short-selling bans on financial stocks. Pressure on European banks to raise more capital had increased in July after European stress tests found eight banks failed to meet capital requirements, revealing a total capital shortfall of 2.5 billion euros ($3.5 billion). FRESH CAPITAL However, Lagarde's comments came as stocks in Europe bounced back, tracking a late rally on Wall Street on Friday, after signs that the U.S. Federal Reserve would continue to support the U.S. economy. European bank stocks were up 1.2 percent on Monday. Greek bank stocks gained most, with some rallying 20 percent, as they were also boosted by a pending merger of local banks Eurobank (EFGr.AT: Quote http://www.reuters.com/stocks/quote?symbol=EFGr.AT , Profile http://www.reuters.com/stocks/companyProfile?symbol=EFGr.AT , Research http://www.reuters.com/stocks/researchReports?symbol=EFGr.AT , Stock Buzz http://reuters.socialpicks.com/stock/r/EUROB ) and Alpha Bank (ACBr.AT: Quote http://www.reuters.com/stocks/quote?symbol=ACBr.AT , Profile http://www.reuters.com/stocks/companyProfile?symbol=ACBr.AT , Research http://www.reuters.com/stocks/researchReports?symbol=ACBr.AT , Stock Buzz http://reuters.socialpicks.com/stock/r/ALPHA ), raising hopes that Greek banks will be able to sort out their problems without government help. (Lagarde's) comments won't help to boost confidence in the international financial system, said Gerhard Hofmann, board member of the association of German cooperative banks. If any European bank needs fresh capital, it would be better to stabilize the institute properly than to discuss it publicly in such a tense market situation, he said. A source at Spain's economy ministry echoed those comments. The government has already put in place from the start of this year a recapitalization plan for its financial institutions, with very high requirements, the source said. Lagarde's statement was one of her first public calls for Europe to take policy action since she became head of the IMF in early July. Previously, the Fund had also urged euro zone leaders to expand the size of the bloc's sovereign bailout fund, an idea rejected by Germany and France. The IMF's comments matter to Europe, because Brussels is counting on the global lender to help finance a second bailout of Greece, announced by euro zone leaders last month, which envisages 109 billion euros of

But don't worry: The State Department says he's a refomer. While making a correction http://www.dianawest.net/Home/tabid/36/EntryId/1886/The-Truth-about-Libyan- Rebels.aspx in my column regarding Libyan rebel front man Mustafa Abdul Jalil, the former Qaddafi justice minister who now heads Libya's government-in-waiting, the National Transitional Council (NTC), I realized that US and NATO support for this man and the NTC and the rebels is actually worse than I previously thought, which was already pretty bad. I don't refer only to the role Abdul Jalil played in the Bulgarian nurses show trial, which I mistakenly underestimated: I originally wrote that Abdul Jalil sentenced the five nurses and Palestinian medic to death when, in fact, as president of the Tripoli appeals court, he twice upheld their death sentences. Indeed, for these blatant perversions of justice (charges that the nurses had infected hundreds of Libyan children with HIV virus were unsubstantiated), Abdul Jalil was well rewarded. According to a March interview in http://www.lexpress.fr/actualite/monde/quand-le-chef-des-rebelles-libyens-o euvrait-pour-kadhafi_977428.html L'Express with a Bulgarian journalist who has followed the case since it began in 1999, loyal and loyal Abdul Jalil was named [justice] minister in 2007 as compensation for his intransigence during that trial. (Thanks to Nidra Poller for the translation.) 2007 was also the year the Bulgarian nurses were freed due to EU intervention (money?), particularly from France, after serving eight years in Libyan prison. Bulgaria is http://www.news24.com/World/News/Bulgaria-resumes-Libyan-torture-probe-2011 0823 still seeking a credible probe into allegations that the nurses were tortured by the Qaddafi regime into making confessions (later recanted). Lotsa luck on that. The new and supposedly improved post-Qaddafi government-in-waiting is a veritable Bulgarian nurses affair cabal. There's Mustafa Abdul Jalil, as noted above. His lead role in upholding the show trial death sentences has completely vanished from the record. Now, he's the http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/08/22/2370568/us-diplomats-have-long-seen-l ibyas.html reformer whom Uncle Sam has had his approving if blind eye on for years. From McLatchey just this week: A December 2009 cable from the American ambassador in Tripoli, Gene Cretz, passes along praise for Abdul Jalil, who was then the justice minister. Officials at Human Rights Watch told U.S. Embassy staff privately that Abdul Jalil was a proponent of the rule of law, according to the cable, one of a trove of classified documents obtained by WikiLeaks and provided to McClatchy Newspapers and other news organizations. Abduljalil (sic) told HRW that he would continue to fight against the culture of corruption that allowed security services to operate above the law, the cable said. In a cable sent the next month, embassy staff describe the first meeting between Abdul Jalil and Cretz. Abdul Jalil described efforts to reform Libya's criminal code - efforts that he spearheaded. The reforms would replace prison time with fines for some offenses and ultimately reserve the death penalty for murder only, he told Cretz. How did Abdul Jalil keep a straight face? How did Crezt get his job? There's also Idris Laga, as L'Express also reported. In recent months, Laga has been http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2011-03-08-libya-clashes_N.htm described in Western media as the military coordinator for the rebel movement. Laga, too, played a prominent role - tres active -in the Bulgarian nurses show trial as head of the Association of Relatives with Children with HIV, as Lysiane Gagnon wrote in Canada's http://m.theglobeandmail.com/news/opinions/opinion/SOMNIA/article1967600/?s ervice=mobile Globe and Mail in April. Gagnon added a couple of key details to the story: Idris Laga, the council's military co-ordinator, was head of the Association of Relatives of Children Infected with AIDS, an organization set up by the regime to raise the price exacted for the Bulgarian
[osint] A Chinese Government Firm Helps Iranian Sanctions-busters
Enemies of a feather... B Tehran's Ghost Fleet A Chinese state-owned firm in Hong Kong has been helping Iranian ships get around U.S. sanctions. By CLAUDIA ROSETT http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904875404576529860210045514.ht ml?mod=WSJ_Opinion_LEFTTopBucket#printMode * AUGUST 29, 2011, 2:18 A.M. ET This June, a merchant ship flying the Hong Kong flag and sailing under the name of the Atlantic called at the Mexican port of Lazaro Cardenas-the southern end of a trade corridor to the U.S., advertised as the fastest route to the heart of North America. That might be unremarkable, except the Atlantic, formerly called the Dreamland, and before that the Iran Saeidi, belongs to a curious network of 19 bulk carriers, all flagged out of Hong Kong and all blacklisted by the U.S. Treasury for their links to Iran. According to a recent transcript of Hong Kong's Marine Department Shipping Register, the Atlantic is owned by a Hong Kong-registered company called Harvest Supreme Limited. Scratch the surface and Harvest Supreme tracks back to an Iranian address, as do 18 other obscure and interlinked Hong Kong ship-owning companies with names such as Grand Trinity Limited and Sparkle Brilliant Development Limited. These are the hallmarks of the global shell game with which Iran continues to dodge U.S. and United Nations sanctions. *** This shell game began around 2008, when the U.S. imposed sanctions on Iran's state shipping company, the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines, or IRISL, for its role in provisioning Iran's rogue missile and nuclear programs. The U.S. Treasury also blacklisted a slew of IRISL affiliates and 123 of its ships, including all 19 of these merchant ships now flagged to Hong Kong, making it potentially a crime under U.S. law to do business with them. Treasury also began pressuring players outside U.S. jurisdiction to shun Iran's proliferators, or risk being cut off from commerce with the U.S. IRISL responded by camouflaging much of its fleet, reflagging and renaming scores of its blacklisted ships. It parceled out some to newly minted affiliates and created shell companies abroad to serve as nominal owners. Behind the scenes, IRISL retained control. In 2008, the Delight, now the Adrian, docked in Germany. The ships themselves remain easy to identify via their unique and permanent hull numbers, or IMO numbers, which the International Maritime Organization issues to all cargo vessels over 300 gross tonnage. Treasury posts blacklisted or blocked IMO numbers on its website. Treasury's blacklists are the basis for identifying the ships described in this article-all designated by Treasury for their links to IRISL. But these numbers don't always appear on cargo-shipping documentation, as the Washington-based Wisconsin Project's Iran Watch noted in a report last year. This can make it difficult for people to understand whom they're doing business with. This has sparked a game of whack-a-hull. Treasury over the past year alone has added to its blacklist more than 100 additional IRISL-affiliated individuals, companies and ships, in places ranging from Germany to Malta, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore and Hong Kong. The game continues apace, or so it appears from information uncovered by my recent inquiries at Hong Kong's corporate and shipping registries, combined with interviews and information from a leading global shipping information database, IHS Fairplay, formerly Lloyd's Register-Fairplay (the source for the shipping movements cited in this article). Since Iran launched its shipping shell game in 2008, Hong Kong has become the corporate home to 19 ships blackballed by Treasury as affiliated with IRISL and listed by IHS Fairplay as formerly flagged to Iran and owned by IRISL. Before these ships were reflagged to Hong Kong, they had names, according to IHS Fairplay, such as Iran Sadr, Iran Mufateh and Iran Navab. In their initial Hong Kong incarnation, most were given new names starting with D, such as the Delegate, Diplomat and Destiny. In 2009, they were renamed again. Perhaps for Iran's convenience in keeping track of its dizzying global networks of ships and shells, all 19 IRISL-affiliated ships reflagged to Hong Kong now have names beginning with the letter A. These include, along with the Atlantic, such monikers as the Admiral, Adventist, Amplify, Angel, Ajax, Apollo, Agile, Alameda and-my favorite-the Alias. By early this year, all 19 ships had gone through two rounds of nominal ownership by shell-companies registered in Hong Kong-the subject of a detailed series of articles this past January-March in the South China Morning Post. The U.S. Treasury has exposed and blacklisted the shell companies involved in these past two iterations, issuing the most recent bout of designations in January. But as of late July, Hong Kong shipping registry transcripts showed that all 19 vessels had already come under new ownership, by 19 new companies not
[osint] Bigots Try to Silence Critics of Islamic Extremism
Silencing Critics of Islamic Extremism Posted By Daniel Greenfield On August 29, 2011 In a staggering expose, the Center for American Progress has released a 130-page report http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2011/08/islamophobia.html revealing that organizations which investigate Islamic radicalism are funded by money, not sunshine. One of the report's authors, Faiz Shakir, was immediately invited to come on Keith Olbermann's show to discuss this amazing discovery. The Center for American Progress' campaign for donor transparency, however, stops at its own doors. While its own budget is many times that of the organizations that its report targets - the CAP's policy is to keep the identities of its own donors http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/07/us/politics/07podesta.html?_r=1ref=polit ics secret. The CAP report attempts to suppress dialogue on Islamic terrorism with the charge of Islamophobia, but the center itself is part of a conservaphobia and Israelphobia network. An industry that pays quite well, as its annual budgets in the tens of millions show. Where does the money for the Center for American Progress come from? From shady billionaires, like Herb and Marion Sandler, listed by Time Magazine http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1877351_1877350_ 1877343,00.html (together) as one of the 25 people to blame for the financial crisis, and George Soros, convicted in France of insider trading. That dirty money goes to pay people like Faiz Shakir, Wajahat Ali, Eli Clifton, Matt Duss, Scott Keyes and Lee Fang - the authors of the report. And their collective credibility is about what you would expect from an organization whose known donors include a rogue's gallery of the financial industry. Lee Fang has been described as a serial fabulist http://www.verumserum.com/?p=14637 for repeatedly manufacturing conspiracy theories that aren't actually supported by the evidence, like the claim that the Chamber of Commerce was using foreign money to influence elections. Fang generates talking points for the Left by making wild claims, and then moves on. Fang isn't the only liar of the report's authors. Faiz Shakir tried to falsely pass himself http://www.peachpundit.com/2008/11/24/why-is-faiz-shakir-research-director- for-the-non-partisan-center-for-american-progress-engaged-in-partisan-lies/ off as a conservative blogger to get on a Republican senator's press list. He exploited the tragic murders in Norway to promote the false claim that Breivik had cited Robert Spencer 162 times, when actually Breivik's 1,500-page manifesto had pasted in hundreds of documents, one of which was an independently assembled collection of quotes from Spencer, Tony Blair and others on Islam. How much credibility should be assigned to Shakir, who offered to provide comment and analysis on the links between Breivik and Spencer - based on conclusions he drew from using the Find function in Word, without realizing that most of the hits he was getting were from one document that Breivik didn't even write? The idea behind the CAP report was probably lifted by Wajahat Ali, from a Max Blumenthal piece that Ali posted on his blog, Goat's Milk, back in 2010. The Blumenthal article used many of the same talking points to write about an Islamophobia network funded by Jewish donors. The piece is similar enough to the CAP report that Blumenthal should probably be credited as an author, but the report does not appear to even mention him. That's not so odd, as Blumenthal's article charged that representatives of the Israel lobby and the Jewish-American establishment had conspired to conduct a crusade against mosques and Islam. Blatant bigotry and Blumenthal's rants about baby killing rabbis would have made him too dangerous to credit, but his influence is present in the CAP report, from its opening statistic that blames researchers into Islamic extremism for a 10-point drop in Muslim approval, to its conspiracy theories about an Islamophobia network funded by some of the same foundations that Blumenthal had mentioned last year. The same dated material that Shakir and Ali are now trying to pass off as a major scoop. Israelphobia is a common denominator among the majority of the report's authors. It shows up in Wajahat Ali's writings as he conducts an interview with the Israel Lobby's Walt and Mearsheimer, and denounces Israel's egregious crimes and America's slavish loyalty to it. http://www.adbrite.com/mb/commerce/purchase_form.php?opid=1997893afsid=1 Your Ad Here When Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan, Wajahat Ali posted a roundup of Muslim reactions on his blog, one of which said, Bravo Obama! Now while you're at it, why not get Bush and Blair as well. Matt Duss, another author, also has a special focus on attacking Israel, and in one post urged more nuance in viewing Hamas and linked to an article which suggested that Hamas supporters are not actually dangerous radicals. Eli Clifton is in the same

During the signing ceremony hosted at Labor Department headquarters in Washington D.C., Solis said the agreements are aimed at educating migrant workers, regardless of how they got here, about their rights under U.S. law and to help prevent them from being abused in the workplace, either through wages, loss of job, or deportation. When asked by CNSNews.com, she made clear the agreements aim at protecting both documented and undocmented workers inside the United States. In her address at the signing ceremony, Solis asserted that all migrant workers have a “right to a legal wage”--even though the Labor Department itself http://www.dol.gov/elaws/elg/aw.htm states that under U.S. law, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), “employers may hire only persons who may legally work in the United States (i.e., citizens and nationals of the U.S.) and aliens authorized to work in the U.S.” The INA “protects U.S. citizens and aliens authorized to accept employment in the U.S. from discrimination in hiring or discharge on the basis of national origin and citizenship status, states the Labor Department Web site. Nevertheless, during the signing ceremony today, Solis said, “No matter how you got here or how long you plan to stay, you have certain rights. You have the right to be safe and in a healthy workplace and the right to a legal wage. We gather here today to strengthen our shared commitment to protect the labor rights of migrant workers in the United States. Unfortunately, due to language barriers and immigration status, migrant workers can be those that are most vulnerably abused.” “We’re committed to ending that abuse and in a few moments we’ll sign a new partnerships between the Department of Labor and the embassies of Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and El Salvador,” she said. “These are pledges between our governments to work together to educate migrant workers about their labor rights and prevent abuses in the workplace.” “During the past year, we’ve signed similar agreements with the embassies--and I’m very proud of this--the embassies of Mexico, Nicaragua, and Guatemala,” said Solis, “and going forward we’ll be pursuing accords with governments from South East Asia and others in the Caribbean wanting to educate and protect those most vulnerable workers that live and reside in this country.” “We understand that many migrant workers in America are afraid to report mistreatment because it can lead to more abuse, the loss of job, a job, or deportation,” she said. “With these partnerships we seek to remove those fears.” CNSNews.com spoke to Solis on video after the ceremony about U.S. labor laws, asking, “Both documented and undocumented workers will be protected under U.S. labor laws?” http://cnsnews.com/image/immigration-georgia Immigration Georgia In this photo taken May 10, 2011, fieldworkers pick onion bulbs on a Vidalia onion farm in Lyons, Ga. (AP Photo/David Goldman) “It has always been the case under previous Republican as well as Democratic administrations. All we’re doing is enforcing the law and we’re allowing for other individual groups and partnerships with other consulate offices to work with us in expanding our reach in information,” Solis said. “What we’re trying to avoid is that vulnerable communities be abused and that there be an increase in more underground activity, economic activity that goes untapped, those monies that are being paid to workers.” “In some cases taxes aren’t being appropriately paid, those taxes should go into our [U.S.] Treasury, and if everyone is brought out of the shadow in that manner, then we’ll have more assistance to protect people, we’ll have better competitive businesses,” she said. “It’s not fair for businesses who come into this country or are working in this country now and abuse workers. So we’re trying to rectify that and with that we hope that there will be more awareness and there’ll be better, how can I say, policies and documentations that can counter all that negativity that we’re seeing occurring when we’re seeing a downturn in our economy. That’s when most vulnerable are abused when there’s a downturn in the economy.” Altogether, the envoys to the United States that have signed the agreements include those from the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, and El Salvador. Also, envoys from Mexico, Nicaragua, and Guatemala had signed the agreement prior to today’s

You just haven't heard about it. The Obama Justice Department has declined to release the settlement agreement, or even publicly acknowledge its existence. Main Justice http://www.mainjustice.com/justanticorruption/2011/08/26/justice-department -mum-on-tax-fraud-settlement-with-islamic-bank/ (H/T Liana) -The Islamic Investment Co. of the Gulf (Bahamas) Ltd., which reportedly has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, agreed to pay some $37 million to resolve an investigation into whether the firm structured its real estate investments to unlawfully avoid U.S. taxes on them, according to people familiar with the matter. The first third of the settlement is already paid, these people said. But the company inked a non-prosecution agreement with the government, which means the deal doesn't require court approval and isn't filed in public. When asked about the settlement earlier this week, Justice Department spokesman Charles Miller said: I have nothing on this. http://barenakedislam.wordpress.com/2011/08/27/the-obama-regime-doesnt-want -you-to-know-the-details-about-a-tax-fraud-settlement-case-with-an-islamic-b ank-tied-to-terrorist-groups/state-secrets/ http://barenakedislam.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/state-secrets.jpg?w=510h= 248The secrecy of the deal has prompted interest in Congress. Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.), chairman of the House appropriations subcommittee that oversees the Justice Department budget and author of legislation that created the National Commission on Terrorism in the 1990s, told Main Justice he planned to ask the department next week to release the documents. They've got to let this thing out, Wolf - a persistent critic of the Barack Obama administration Justice Department - said in an interview, referring to the bank's alleged ties to terrorism financing. http://barenakedislam.wordpress.com/2011/08/27/the-obama-regime-doesnt-want -you-to-know-the-details-about-a-tax-fraud-settlement-case-with-an-islamic-b ank-tied-to-terrorist-groups/islamic-2/ http://barenakedislam.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/islamic.gif?w=300h=255New York lawyer James J. McGuire, who is listed in court filings as a lawyer for the Islamic bank's corporate parent, did not respond to a voice mail and a message left with his assistant seeking comment. In a case that has had many strange twists and turns, the mystery surrounding the settlement is only the latest. The saga dates back to 2004, when two former employees of a related firm called Overland Realty Capital, LLC sued the company in state court in Texas and said they were fired for blowing the whistle on fraud. In 2007 the Wall Street Journal reported that a federal grand jury in Boston was examining whether the firms evaded taxes on complicated real estate deals. A prosecutor from the Justice Department's counterterrorism section first handled the case, according to a http://barenakedislam.wordpress.com/2011/08/27/the-obama-regime-doesnt-want -you-to-know-the-details-about-a-tax-fraud-settlement-case-with-an-islamic-b ank-tied-to-terrorist-groups/588_large/ http://barenakedislam.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/588_large.jpg?w=300h=213W all Street Journal story from that year. But the original terrorism-related probe morphed into the same kind of strategy used to nab gangster Al Capone, who was eventually prosecuted not for the Prohibition-era crime syndicate he ran, but for the easier-to-prove charge of tax evasion. The firm structured real estate investments through a network of shell companies in offshore tax havens including the Cayman Islands, the Journal reported in 2007. Such structures, while not necessarily illegal, become unlawful when designed primarily to circumvent IRS rules. While the department is staying mum on the settlement, the company at issue is linked to the royal family in Saudi Arabia, a powerful U.S. ally. It is a subsidiary of Dar Al-Maal Al-Islami Trust, known as DMI http://barenakedislam.wordpress.com/2011/08/27/the-obama-regime-doesnt-want -you-to-know-the-details-about-a-tax-fraud-settlement-case-with-an-islamic-b ank-tied-to-terrorist-groups/05_07_11_88135_islamic_bank_807604559/
[osint] FBI: Muslim Brotherhood Penetration of Obama Administration
http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=337321 _ WND Exclusive http://www.wnd.com/images/header_exclusive.gif _ HOMELAND INSECURITY Underpublicized threat deep in White House FBI: Penetration by radical agents worse than thought _ Posted: August 27, 2011 11:05 pm Eastern © 2011 WND John Guandolo Infiltration of the federal government by members of the radical Muslim Brotherhood is worse than some have warned recently, says a former FBI special agent in Washington. The agent confirmed that at least three operatives of the Egypt-based Brotherhood – whose credo is Jihad is our way and death in the cause of Allah is our dream – have penetrated the Obama administration. The shocking charge was first leveled by Muslim reformer Tarek Fatah during a recent speech in Toronto. When someone says that there is penetration of jihadi Islamists within society, do not dismiss it as some right-wing, xenophobic, racist rant, warned Fatah, a Canadian journalist. Today in the White House, there are three members of the Muslim Brotherhood that influence Obama's policy, he told the audience gathered for an IdeaCity conference. One is Rashad Hassan, who is the American ambassador to the 52-nation Organization of Islamic (Conference). Fatah also named Dalia Mogahed, who writes (Obama's) speeches, who comes from the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt; and another woman, an academic, (who) was appointed in that circle. Former FBI special agent John Guandolo says Obama's ties to agents for the Muslim Brotherhood are even more extensive. The level of penetration in the last three administrations is deep, he said. For this president, it even goes back to his campaign with Muslim Brotherhood folks working with him then. Equally alarming, the Brotherhood also has placed several operatives and sympathizers within key positions in Homeland Security and the U.S. military, notes Guandolo, a former Marine Corps officer. The veteran federal agent says such infiltration threatens national security, because the U.S. leadership of the international Brotherhood has outlined a secret plan to destroy the U.S. and other Western governments from within. After the 9/11 attacks, he says the FBI discovered the plan written in Arabic among documents seized from the basement of a prominent Brotherhood leader living in a Washington suburb. Guandolo says the stated Muslim Brotherhood strategy for change from within includes the installation of loyal Brothers into political office. President Obama's top Muslim ambassador, Rashad Hussain, has raised suspicions. He is U.S. special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference, a powerful international group headquartered in Saudi Arabia and closely aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood. Before first joining the White House as a lawyer, Hussain regularly spoke to Brotherhood front groups and defended Brotherhood leaders like Sami al-Arian. Hussain at first denied defending the convicted terrorist, claiming he was misquoted, but then recanted after Politico.com produced a tape-recording of his remarks. Recently, he has been overseas encouraging devotion to Islam, including in terror hotspots like Afghanistan. In fact, Hussain has told Afghans the antidote to Islamic violence is Islam itself. I am of the opinion that one of the strongest tools that you can use to counter radicalization and violent extremism is Islam itself, because Islam rejects violent extremism, he said during a recent speech in Kabul. Hussain, a devout Muslim, says promotion of the Muslim faith is key to the administration's strategy to turn Muslims away from violence. We see that as one of the key elements of a strategy to address this type of violence, he said. The strategy is at odds with what the co-chairmen of the 9/11 Commission recently recommended in their follow-up report on homegrown terror, Assessing the Terrorist Threat: A Report of the Bipartisan Policy Center's National Security Preparedness Group. The study found that Islam was motivating terrorists not just abroad, but inside America's Muslim community. And it scolded U.S. leaders for pretending religion is not a factor in growing violence. Still, Hussain insists: When it comes to the problem of violent extremism, Islam is not the problem. Hussain helped draft Obama's conciliatory Cairo speech to Muslims. Also helping with the president's speeches and policies toward Muslims is Mogahed, whose pro-Islamist statements have been posted on the Muslim Brotherhood's website, ikhwanweb.com. Obama appointed the hijab-wearing Mogahed to the President's Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. On a British television program, Islam Channel, Mogahed defended Shariah law, the barbaric Islamic legal code that treats women as second-class citizens. Muslim women actually associate gender justice or justice for women with Shariah compliance, she argued. It is
[osint] Father Schall on the Fragility of Islam
Of course it is.which is why Communism endured 70 years and Islam nearly 1400. Its future MAY be in doubt.but fragility is not the problem. Islam delenda est. B Father Schall on the Fragility of Islam Posted By David P. Goldman On August 26, 2011 @ 1:40 pm In Uncategorized | 18 Comments http://pajamasmedia.com/spengler/2011/08/26/father-schall-on-the-fragility- of-islam/?print=1#comments_controls Fr. James V. Schall S.J. remains at the age of 83 an indispensable voice in foreign policy, combining theological depth and strategic acuity. The Fragility of Islam is the subject of his latest pronouncement at the Catholic Thing blog http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2011/on-the-fragility-of-islam.html . Western analysts tend to accept the narrative of Muslim triumphalism, the assertion that the strong faith of the Islamic world will overwhelm the temporizing and vacillating West. Not so, Fr. Schall argues: Islam itself is as fragile as communism. He writes: The major change Islam looks to is not modernization or objective truth but, in a stable world, the submission to Allah of all men under a caliphate wherein no non-believers are found. We still look back at communism, at least the non-oriental variety, with some astonishment in this regard. Almost no one thought it could fall without a major military encounter. That it disintegrated so quickly and so completely seems incomprehensible to anyone but a John Paul II. He understood its frailty, its failure to understand the human soul and its origins.. Religion or faith, even in Islam through Averroes, has been conceived as a myth designed to keep the people quiet. The scholars could quietly let the caliphs and the imams rule if the intelligentsia were left free to pursue philosophy, which was conceived to be anti-Koranic in the sense that the Koran did not hold up under scrutiny about its claims. The fragility of Islam, as I see it, lies in a sudden realization of the ambiguity of the text of the Koran. Is it what it claims to be? Islam is weak militarily. It is strong in social cohesion, often using severe moral and physical sanctions. But the grounding and unity of its basic document are highly suspect. Once this becomes clear, Islam may be as fragile as communism. A tiny minority of analysts, this writer included, have argued instead that Islam cannot be reformed or situated in democratic institutions; its militancy, rather, stems from the realization that it cannot survive modernity. Koranic criticism yet may turn out to be the worm in the foundation of radical Islam, I wrote in 2003 http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Front_Page/EH05Aa01.html . Much of the Muslim world is repeating the West's transition out of traditional society, but in lapsed time. That is the subject of my forthcoming book, How Civilizations Die (and Why Islam is Dying Too) http://www.amazon.com/How-Civilizations-Die-Islam-Dying/dp/159698273X . An index of Islam's loss of faith is the unprecedented collapse of fertility in many Muslim countries, most notably Iran. The average Iranian has six siblings, but will have 1.5 children. The Persian nation will not survive this demographic collapse. There are seven working-age Iranians to care for each set of parents; in the next generation there will be one and a half. That is an impossible tax even for industrial nations whose per capita GDP exceeds $30,000, and an unimaginable problem for a country with a per capita GDP of only $6,000. Iran is going to die. Why so few children? Just as Fr. Schall suggests, we will find when we poke through the rubble that Muslims are as rare in today's Iran as Communists in the Russia of the 1980s. According to a BBC account Iran has the lowest mosque attendance http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/documentaries/2008/09/080925_children_of_ revolution_one.shtml of any Muslim country at just 2%. The problem that the West confronts is not engagement with Islam, or reform of Islam, or democratization of Muslim countries, but the utter and final ruin of some of the most important Muslim nations. Turkey http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/MC23Ak01.html 's problems are just as severe: the fertility rate of native Turkish speakers is just 1.5, the same as Iran's, while Kurdish fertility is around 4.5 - which means that the Kurds will comprise about half the country's population a generation from now, in contrast to just under 20% today. Much of the Muslim world remains rooted in traditional society, to be sure; 44% of Egyptians are illiterate and more than 90% of Egyptian women are subject to genital mutilation. But that model also has crashed and burned: a country immured in backwardness cannot survive in the globalized world. Egypt imports half its caloric consumption, and Chinese pigs will eat before the Egyptian poor. The central issue in the Muslim world is its crisis of faith, as Fr. Schall instructs us. The clarity of his formulation stands in contrast to the timid, apologetic

and to make Slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every
Muslim who should be slain in battle was believed to go to Paradise.
Remember there was no Israel nation at this point and there was no American
military bases in Saudi Arabia to blame these muslim terrorist attacks. All
America wanted to do was to pass by the open seas and engage in fair trade.
Even liberal PBS McNeil/Lehrer reported one day on America's first war by
President Thomas Jefferson against the muslim terrorists.
To the surprise of many in our modern liberal and libertarian false worlds,
our nation formed its first national Navy and united beyond individual
States to a national force, due to muslim terrorist attacks at the
foundational years of our nation. The founders of our nation believed that
we needed to be united against the threat of islamic terrorism or we would
fall as divided States. Muslims were terrorizing Americans by forcefully
boarding American ships and beheading our men and enslaving our women and
children. Americans were being sold in the open muslim market.
When they offered America an option to pay a nonmuslim tax of up to 1
million dollars per year so they would allow us to sail without their
attacks on our ships, sadly, John Adams agreed to pay the bribe according to
the European model of that day. At one point, up to 20% of our national
budget was dedicated to paying off muslim terrorists. Thomas Jefferson
argued that the more you pay a terrorist, the more he'll demand. When he
became President, he called on our brave Marines and Navy to go overseas and
kick the butt of those muslim terrorists who were ruthlessly attacking our
American citizens. {Jefferson used the common colloquialism of his day for
this.}
Muslims made the grave mistake of believing that a small nation just formed
would not have the power to fight the muslim powers overseas. By the Grace
of God, The LORD granted our Marines and Navy great victories and the muslim
powers were forced to return several hundred American women children and
men. Unfortunately, our first treaty sadly stipulated that America would
agree to pay $60,000.00 for these slaves. President Jefferson tried to
call it tribute instead of ransom, but rightly, William Eaton remained
strongly opposed to the State Department diplomat Tobias Lear on this
important matter. By 1807, Muslims began to attack American ships once again
and terrorize our citizens abroad. In 1815, Commodores William Bainbridge
and Stephen Decatur led our military victories to force muslims to sign
ending all nonmuslim tax payments by the United States to faithful muslims
and that finally put a stop to the muslim attacks on our citizens for a long
time.
However, Thomas Jefferson knew the danger of islam was not over. He secured
the great Naval Hero rear Admiral John Paul Jones to try to fight off the
muslims in Constantinople and return Constantinople to the Christians who
had been attacked by muslim ottoman forces and overtaken after several
hundred years of failed attempts by previous muslim rulers to attack the
peaceful Christians. In an article
http://roblorinov.wordpress.com/2011/05/06/john-paul-jones-an-american-and-
russian-hero/ on this important Naval officer, we read:
John Paul Jones, Father of The American Navy: he engaged in his most famous
battle: the Battle of Flamborough Head. The battle took place against the
British warship called the HMS Serapis. It was a long battle that Jones
nearly lost, but he continued to fight until the very end. His ship on fire
and sinking, he refused to give up. When the commander of the Serapis asked
him about surrendering, instead of giving the idea any thought,

Man Faces 2 Years in Federal Prison For Defending His Family Against Grizzly Bear * Posted by Jared Law file:///C:\profile\JaredLaw292 on August 25, 2011 at 1:47pm in Elections, Issues, News, http://www.the912project.us/forum/categories/elections-issues-news/listForCategory Politics * Send Message http://www.the912project.us/profiles/message/newFromProfile?screenName=2iglvdbicqgm4target=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.the912project.us%2Fforum%2Ftopic%2Fshow%3Fid%3D2881797%253ATopic%253A2334390%26xgs%3D1%26xg_source%3Dmsg_share_topic View Discussions http://www.the912project.us/forum/topic/listForContributor?user=2iglvdbicqgm4 Yet another case of tyrannical, anti-human bullying by incompetent Obama Regime DoJ prosecutors. If, under a certain regime, a man doesn't have the right to protect his family, then that regime is tyrannical and illegitimate, and unfit to govern, anywhere in the world. Here in America, where we have a Compound Constitutional Republic, not only do we have the right to self-defense, and to defend our families, but we also have a constitution which guarantees this right. This is an anti-Constitutional act by the Obama Regime. Whether the grizzly bear was endangered or not makes no difference: if it's a threat to American lives, it's the one doing the endangering, and it forfeits its right to life. End of discussion. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_GRIZZLY_BEAR_KILLED_CHARGES Federal prosecutors say Hill shot the bear with a bolt-action rifle, but they have shared few other details of their investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nancy Cook declined to comment to reporters after the hearing. A jury trial has been set for Oct. 4. If convicted, Hill could face penalties of up to one year in prison and fines up to $50,000. He has been appointed a federal public defender and is free on bond. The Endangered Species Act classifies the grizzly bear as a threatened species in the lower 48 states, and it is protected by federal law. Hill and his wife have six children, and their home is between two federal grizzly bear recovery zones - the Selkirk zone to the west and Cabinet-Yaak zone to the east. Biologists estimate that 100 grizzlies inhabit the zones that include parts of Idaho, British Columbia and Montana. The bears are a controversial topic in Boundary County, as habitat protection by federal agencies has impacted the timber harvest and logging industry. Supporters say several of Hill's children were playing in the yard when the bear approached, and he notified Idaho wildlife officials after shooting it. It seems unjust to me that someone would be charged when they were protecting their family, state Sen. Shawn Keough, R-Sandpoint, said after the hearing. I'm at a loss to understand why the U.S. government is pursuing this in the manner they are. Supporters have written letters to state and congressional leaders, and last week the community raised $19,500 for a defense fund for the family at a 4-H animal sale in Bonners Ferry. Ronald Smith, chairman of the Boundary County Commission, said the county supports grizzly recovery plans but also is struggling to understand the charges against Hill. Jeremy Hill . has been falsely accused of a crime that did not happen, Smith said in a statement. This is not some flagrant or malicious act. Here's the Blaze's reporting on this story: MAN FACES 2 YEARS IN PRISON FOR SHOOT http://www.theblaze.com/stories/man-faces-2-years-in-prison-for-shooting-grizzly-while-defending-family/ ING GRIZZLY WHILE DEFENDING FAMILY http://www.theblaze.com/stories/man-faces-2-years-in-prison-for-shooting-grizzly-while-defending-family/ Posted on August 25, 2011 at 7:22am by Tiffany Gabbay This is quite a story. A man charged with unlawfully shooting and killing a grizzly bear in defense of his family, garnered so many supporters at his arraignment in U.S. District Court Tuesday that the judge had to move the hearing to a larger courtroom. Even in the larger space, however, every seat was reportedly occupied as the man’s family, friends and neighbors vied for a place to show their support. Jeremy M. Hill, 33, pleaded not guilty to killing the grizzly with a rifle on his 20-acre property near Porthill, Idaho, at the Canadian border. Because the Endangered Species Act classifies the grizzly as a threatened species, Hill was charged with a misdemeanor. The trial has been set for October 4 and Hill’s lawyer, Marc Lyons, said he plans to defend Hill on the basis of self-defense and protection of family. Jeremy Hill’s father, Mike Hill, said his son was concerned for the safety of his children who were playing outside when the mother grizzly and her two cubs happened onto his property in May. Hill has six children ranging in age from 14 years old to 10 months old and at least five were reportedly home when the grizzly appeared and was later killed. CDAPress adds
[osint] Marines Banned from Farting in Afghanistan
Something only Obama would think of. B Islam delenda est. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/report-marines-banned-from-farting-in-afghan istan/ Report: Marines Banned from Farting in Afghanistan Posted on August 26, 2011 at 10:56am by Buck Sexton Buck Sexton Marines in Afghanistan have reportedly been told not to pass gas around Afghans to avoid offending the indigenous population. That's right, now any leatherneck who lets one rip on patrol with Afghans nearby could receive a a talk from his superior officer. The new flatulence restriction was first picked up by the Military Times, and has since become fodder for online discussion ranging from the curious to the ridiculous. A few military bloggers have taken it seriously and found the ban to be indicative of a trend among military brass of bending over backwards to avoid offending the locals. Others have pointed out that a culture that has allowed stoning, various forms of execution, and amputations as penalties for criminal offenses should be able to withstand a little passed gas. The new regulation is not covered in the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and the military has not even confirmed it exists. For now, the fart ban appears to be simply a guideline for good manners while Marines are out on patrol. We'll let you know if the Blaze catches wind of any developments.

[osint] Team Obama Regulates Goat Herders' Workplaces
One of the readers comments: BEDROOMS: Only one goat per person allowed in individual sleeping quarters. To alleviate jealousy and arguments leading to fights, individuals may claim their goat, including gay goats, as their own. Naming your goat is allowed but no goat can be named 'Obaama.' http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=45722 Team Obama Regulates Goat Herders' Workplaces The Obama administration is setting new workplace regulations to assist foreign workers who fill goat herding positions in the U.S. , including employee-paid cell phones and comfy beds. These new special procedures issued by the Labor Department must be followed by employers who want to hire temporary agricultural foreign workers to perform sheep herding or goat herding activities. It describes strict rules for sleeping quarters, lighting, food storage, bathing, laundry, cooking and new rules for the counters where food is prepared. “A separate sleeping unit shall be provided for each person, except in a family arrangement,” says the rules signed by Jane Oates, assistant secretary for employment and training administration at the Labor Department. “Such a unit shall include a comfortable bed, cot or bunk, with a clean mattress,” the rules state. Diane Katz, a research fellow in regulatory policy at The Heritage Foundation, unearthed the policy in the http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=45722 Federal Register, the massive daily journal of proposed regulations that Washington bureaucrats publish every day. Under the Obama Administration, the nanny state has imposed 75 new major regulations with annual costs of $38 billion. “This captures what is wrong with government,” Katz said. “I could not have made this up.” With unemployment holding steady at 9% and government regulations adding more burden to small businesses, such as those run by ranching families, Katz said, bureaucrats aren’t helping. “Instead of remedying the problem, the regulations make it that much harder,” Katz insisted. “We may need a whole set of regulations just to define what a comfortable bed is. I imagine it’s not straw. The new lighting standards say that in areas where it is not feasible to provide electrical service such as tents or mobile trailers, lanterns must be provided. “Kerosene wick lights meet the definition of lantern,” the regulations say. “When workers or their families are permitted or required to cook in their individual unit, a space shall be provided with adequate lighting and ventilation.” “Wall surfaces next to all food preparation and cooking areas shall be of nonabsorbent, easy-to-clean material. Wall surfaces next to cooking areas shall be of fire-resistant material,” the regulations say. “It makes you wonder,” Katz said, “how they ever did this before the government got involved?” “Who knew we needed all of this federal help for herding goats?” Katz quipped.

[osint] US DOT's Expanded Airline Passenger Protections Take Effect
U.S. DOT's Expanded Airline Passenger Protections Take Effect Includes Fee Refunds For Lost Baggage, Greater Protection From Tarmac Delays New consumer protections for airline passengers established by the U.S. DOT went into effect Tuesday, which Secretary Ray LaHood says will make flying more convenient and hassle-free for air travelers nationwide. The new consumer protections, finalized earlier this year, include requirements that airlines refund baggage fees if bags are lost, increase compensation provided to passengers bumped from oversold flights, and provide passengers greater protections from lengthy tarmac delays. The Obama Administration believes consumers have the right to be treated fairly when they fly, said Secretary LaHood (pictured). The Department of Transportation's new passenger protections will help ensure that air travelers receive the respect they deserve before, during and after their flight. Effective Tuesday, airlines will be required to refund any fee for carrying a bag if the bag is lost. Airlines are already required to compensate passengers for reasonable expenses for loss, damage or delay in the carriage of passenger baggage. Under the new rules, airlines must now prominently disclose all optional fees on their websites, including but not limited to fees for baggage, meals, canceling or changing reservations, or advanced or upgraded seating. The new rules also double the amount of money passengers are eligible to be compensated for in the event they are involuntarily bumped from an oversold flight. Previously, bumped passengers were entitled to cash compensation equal to the one-way value of their tickets, up to $400, if the airline was able to get them to their destination within a short period of time (within 1 to 2 hours of their originally scheduled arrival time for domestic flights and 1 to 4 hours for international flights). If they were delayed for a lengthy period of time (more than two hours after their originally scheduled arrival time for domestic flights and 4 hours for international flights), they were entitled to double the one-way price of their tickets, up to $800. Under the new rule, bumped passengers subject to short delays will receive compensation equal to double the one-way price of their tickets, up to $650, while those subject to longer delays would receive payments of four times the one-way value of their tickets, up to $1,300. Inflation adjustments will be made to those compensation limits every two years. The Department of Transportation's new rule also expands the existing ban on lengthy tarmac delays to cover the international flights of foreign airlines at U.S. airports, and establishes a hard four-hour time limit on tarmac delays for all international flights at U.S. airports. It also extends the three-hour tarmac delay limit for domestic flights, currently in place only at large-hub and medium-hub airports, to flights at small-hub and non-hub airports as well. All carriers subject to the tarmac rule will be required to report lengthy tarmac delays to DOT. In all cases, exceptions to the time limits are allowed only for safety, security or air traffic control-related reasons. Carriers must also ensure that passengers stuck on the tarmac are provided adequate food and water after two hours, as well as working lavatories and any necessary medical treatment. Additional measures under the new rule will take effect January 24, 2012, including: * Requiring all taxes and fees to be included in advertised fares. * Banning post-purchase price increases. * Allowing passengers to hold a reservation without payment, or to cancel it without penalty, for 24 hours after the reservation is made, if the reservation is made one week or more prior to a flight's departure date. * Requiring disclosure of baggage fees when passengers book a flight. * Requiring that the same baggage allowances and fees apply throughout a passenger's journey. * Requiring disclosure of baggage fee information on e-ticket confirmations. * Requiring prompt notification of delays of over 30 minutes, as well as cancellations and diversions.

Watching the jubilant Libyan rebels celebrating in the streets of Tripoli, it's easy to get caught up in the euphoria of the moment as a brutal tyrant is at last being brought down. The spokeswoman at the Department of State was giddy with visions of those universal human rights the Libyan Transitional National Council (TNC) supposedly espouses. RAND trotted out Frederic Wehrey http://m.npr.org/news/World/139857892 , a senior policy analyst at the Rand Corporation, who perfectly seriously discussed the weapons buy-back programs that he thinks NATO countries might launch in Libya to disarm everybody once the fighting is done. Even commentators at the usually more sober-minded Fox News were giving President Obama B grades for his success in helping remove Qaddafi from power. One of the only analysts of substance who seemed to be keeping his head even as all around him were happily losing theirs has been the IDC Herzliya Gloria Center's Barry Rubin http://www.gloria-center.org/meria/2011/03/the-coming-crisis-in-the-middle-east-3 , who rightly faults the Obama administration for approaching events in the Middle East not as a lion but as a jackal and projecting weakness by demonstrating a fundamental failure to perceive what is, in fact, a determined regional sweep by the forces of jihad and shariah. As Rubin wrote in his 21 August 2011 post http://www.gloria-center.org/meria/2011/03/the-coming-crisis-in-the-middle-east-3 , The gap between dominant Western perceptions of the Middle East and the region's reality is dangerously wide. Part of that reality is actually on full display with the online posting of Libya's Draft Constitutional Charter http://pomed.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Libya-Draft-Constitutional-Charter-for-the-Transitional-Stage.pdf for the Transitional Stage. As the equally level-headed Dr. Andrew Bostom wrote in his 22 August 2011 posting http://www.andrewbostom.org/blog/2011/08/22/the-new-libyan-zabibah-stan-made-safe-for-sharia , the salient feature of Libya's new draft constitution is Part 1, Article 1: Islam is the Religion of the State, and the principal source of legislation is Islamic Jurisprudence (Sharia). [emphasis added] For those still unsure of what is actually happening in Libya, that Article, which places Islamic law (shariah) at the very top of the constitution, means that principles Jeffersonian republicans consider foundational to a democratic system—such as equality, individual freedom, pluralism, tolerance, minority protections, consent of the governed, natural rights/natural law derived through exercise of human reason, independent (secular) judiciary, and a vibrant free press—even if mentioned later in the draft text, have no real validity. It is what comes first and is stated explicitly in the constitution that carries the real weight. In Libya's case, that means Islamic law. That should not surprise anyone who's been watching Mustafa Abdul Jalil, the Libyan Transitional National Council spokesman: that prominent bruise in the middle of his forehead is called a zubibah. It's the bump a devout Muslim gets from pressing his face to the floor five times daily while praying. Described by human rights advocates as a strong proponent of the rule of law, Jalil studied Islamic law at the University of Libya. He's also served as a judge, prosecutor, and Justice Minister under Qaddafi's rule. So, he's an experienced and knowledgeable jurist. The only question, then, is Of which law is Jalil such a champion? The obvious answer is Islamic law—shariah. Western analysts, leaders, and media seem somehow oblivious to the fact that Middle Eastern Muslim Arabs have nothing in their experience to prepare them for anything remotely resembling universal human rights. Quite to the contrary, these Islamic tribal

Mort Zuckerman opines via http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111903327904576526611297517664.h tml WSJ: The rising impatience with the leadership of President Obama was epitomized on Aug. 8 in the middle of one of the now-habitual Wall Street roller coasters. His speech on the economy was 53 minutes late. What showed on TV screens was an empty White House podium, an image suggestive of the absence of leadership. When the president did speak, the best he could come up with was We've always been and always will be a triple-A country. The market's response was a Bronx cheer, a drop of another 300 points. Mr. Obama seems unable to get a firm grip on the toughest issue facing his presidency and the country-the economy. He now asserts he is going to pivot to jobs. Now we pivot to jobs? When there are already 25 million Americans who are either unemployed or cannot find full-time work? Does this president not appreciate what is going on? Fewer Americans are working full-time today than when Mr. Obama took office. We have lost over 900,000 full-time jobs in the last four months alone, and long-term unemployment is at a post-World War II high. The public's faith in his ability to deal with the economy has plunged. As Doyle McManus of the L.A. Times put it, Can this president persuade voters to let him keep his job when so many have lost theirs? Even Jimmy Carter didn't plumb the depths of national dissatisfaction revealed in the stunning Gallup poll taken Aug. 11-13. The president's approval rating was only 39% with a mere 26% approving of his handling of the economy. All of Obama's economic numbers are worse than Bush's, yet the left continues to claim they have turned the economy around (see Debbie Wasserman Shultz). Meanwhile, everyone in the business world is pleading for some kind of adult supervision to build a national platform for sustained growth that includes a long-term fiscal plan that addresses our ballooning debt. They are desperate for strong leadership and feel that all we are getting out of Washington is a lot of noise as Democrats and Republicans blame one another. And Obama blames both plus everything from tornadoes to tsunamis for his economic policies that have made a bad situation worse. Since the president is the one who represents all of America and all Americans, the buck stops with him rather than with the Congress. It is the president's job to offer a coherent program for the twin threats of a static economy and an unsustainable explosion of our debts and deficits. But the only core issue on which he took a clear position in the recent debt-ceiling negotiations was that it would have to include new taxes on the wealthy-and he didn't even hold to that. This is buyer's remorse. This is what happens when you elect an unqualified individual to run the worlds largest economy simply based on a catchy campaign slogan (Hope and Change). He made the politically tested and calculated statement that if you raise taxes on billionaires and millionaires you could solve the problem. This is not so. Even for those who support higher taxes on the wealthy, as I do, we must remember that we have an income tax system in which fully half the taxpayers pay no tax at all, and in which the variety of loopholes cries out for a real reform of the tax code. Even if the government instituted a 100% tax on both corporate profits and personal incomes above $250,000 per year, it would yield enough revenue to run the government for only six months. Why? Because under Mr. Obama's presidency, government spending has swelled to 24% of GDP from 18%. We need real reform of the tax code in which everyone is asked to make some contribution, however small. Hardly anyone on either side of the aisle has a good word to say for the present hodgepodge of selective punishment of the middle class-replete with exceptions, loopholes, and special allowances. Worse, there are no serious proposals being canvassed among the White House, the Congress and

What kind of help is the USDA giving to Jewish and Christian charitable groups? Islamic Relief USA has ties to Hamas. How many other groups with ties to terror organizations are working with the USDA? And why is the United States government subjugating itself in this way? The story featured a photo with the caption: Max Finberg, Director of the Center for Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships at USDA, and IRUSA's Abed Ayoub cut the ribbon launching summer feeding program at An Nur (Photo courtesy of IRUSA).

Dickens said: We are very grateful to USDA for helping us feed our students this summer and letting us know about this wonderful program.

The IRW's activities in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip are carried out by social welfare organizations controlled and staffed by Hamas operatives.

These associations' educational and religious institutions incite against the State of Israel and advocate terrorist actions against it and its citizens.

[osint] The United Nations’ $72 trillion lie
http://netrightdaily.com/2011/08/the-united-nations%e2%80%99-72-trillion-lie/ Thursday August 25th 2011 The United Nations’ $72 trillion lie http://netrightdaily.com/2011/08/the-united-nations%e2%80%99-72-trillion-lie/ http://netrightdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/united-nations-logo.jpg United NationsBy Howard Rich – In addition to preserving the inalienability of our individual liberties, limited government ideology has always revolved around the belief that the invisible hand of the free market creates more prosperity for more people than command-and-control economic wealth redistribution. Actually this isn’t so much a belief (or theory) as it is an incontrovertible economic law. Unfortunately, this law has been willfully ignored by Barack Obama and his congressional allies, who have rung up trillion dollar deficits as part of an ongoing socialist crusade to “spread the wealth around” here in the United States. A rising tide lifts all ships, the old cliché goes — while teaching a person to fish will feed them for a lifetime, not just one day. These fortune cookie truisms — ignored both at home and abroad — were lent vital new expression earlier this month when the United Nations effectively acknowledged that its global wealth redistribution scheme has failed to eradicate poverty as efficiently as good old-fashioned capitalism. In the UN’s “Millennium Development Goals Report 2011 http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/11_MDG%20Report_EN.pdf%3chttp:/www.un.org/millenniumgoals/11_MDG%20Report_EN.pdf ” — released on July 7 to virtually no American media coverage — the international organization acknowledged that poverty rates were falling fastest in those nations which have embraced free market reforms. “The fastest growth and sharpest reductions in poverty continue to be found in Eastern Asia, particularly in China, where the poverty rate is expected to fall to under five per cent by 2015,” the report notes http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/11_MDG%20Report_EN.pdf%3chttp:/www.un.org/millenniumgoals/11_MDG%20Report_EN.pdf . “India has also contributed to the large reduction in global poverty. In that country, poverty rates are projected to fall from 51 per cent in 1990 to about 22 per cent in 2015.” Meanwhile in Sub-Saharan Africa — which has received the lion’s share of foreign aid over the last half-century — there have been negligible reductions in poverty. Not only that, there is increasing empirical evidence to suggest that the massive aid being dumped into this region has actually suppressed economic growth while perpetuating popular dependence and government corruption. “Aid has so spectacularly failed to achieve its intended outcomes in Sub-Saharan Africa because high aid intensity is actually associated with an erosion in the quality of governance,” notes a 2009 report in the Stanford Journal of International Relations http://www.stanford.edu/group/sjir/pdf/Aid_11.1.pdf . “Foreign aid appears simply to increase the volume of funds at the disposal of already corrupt government officials and kleptocratic elites.” Even studies which argue for the infusion of additional aid into the region acknowledge that the impact of this avalanche of foreign cash is “difficult to pin down” and that its failure to stimulate economic growth is “confounding.” http://ageconsearch.umn.edu/bitstream/6356/2/467246.pdf Of course the UN — which has not-so-cleverly disguised its wealth redistribution scheme under the guise of climate-friendly “green investment” — isn’t the least bit confounded. Even as its own data conclusively proves the efficacy of free market reforms (and the futility of government handouts), the global bureaucracy is once again inexplicably upping the command economic ante. After paying lip service in its millennium report to the creation of “conditions in which people are able to carve out and sustain a livelihood,” a separate UN paper released earlier this month proposes the largest wealth transfer in human history. As part of a $72 trillion plan to “overcome poverty, increase food production to eradicate hunger … and avert the climate change catastrophe,” the UN wants to shift $38 trillion from wealthy nations to developing nations over the next four decades http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/policy/wesp/wesp_current/2011wesp.pdf . That staggering sum is more than twice America’s annual gross domestic product — to say nothing of its $14.3 trillion debt. America simply cannot afford to continue pouring tax dollars into failed wealth redistribution schemes — whether at home or abroad. Not only are these plans destined to fail, but they actually prevent the free market from reducing poverty. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -- Want to discuss this topic?

[osint] Michelle Obama: 'She's Like a Junkie'
http://jammiewearingfool.blogspot.com/2011/08/white-house-sources-dish-on-michelle.html White House Sources Dish on Michelle Obama: 'She's Like a Junkie' Obviously some people are sick and tired of seeing this woman freeload off the public. There's going to be hell to pay for http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2029615/Michelle-Obama-accused-spending-10m-public-money-vacations.html this, no doubt. The Obamas' summer break on Martha's Vineyard has already been branded a PR disaster after the couple arrived four hours apart on separate government jets. But according to new reports, this is the least of their extravagances. White House sources today claimed that the First Lady has spent $10million of U.S. taxpayers' money on vacations alone in the past year. Branding her 'disgusting' and 'a vacation junkie', they say the 47-year-old mother-of-two has been indulging in five-star hotels, where she splashes out on expensive massages and alcohol. Don't forget the burritos, french fries, shorts ribs and cheeseburgers. Only for her, of course. The 'top source' told the National Enquirer: 'It's disgusting. Michelle is taking advantage of her privileged position while the most hardworking Americans can barely afford a week or two off work. 'When it's all added up, she's spent more than $10million in taxpayers' money on her vacations.' The First Lady is believed to have taken 42 days of holiday in the past year, including a $375,000 break in Spain and a four-day ski trip to Vail, Colorado, where she spent $2,000 a night on a suite at the Sebastian hotel. And the first family's nine-day stay in Martha's Vineyard is also proving costly, with rental of the Blue Heron Farm property alone costing an estimated $50,000 a week. The source continued: 'Michelle also enjoys drinking expensive booze during her trips. She favours martinis with top-shelf vodka and has a taste for rich sparking wines. 'The vacations are totally Michelle's idea. She's like a junkie. She can't schedule enough getaways, and she lives from one to the next - all the while sticking it to hardworking Americans.' I believe the left likes calling this greed.

[osint] Communist-Created Statue to Honor King-MLK LOOKS HALF CHINESE
It figures! B http://www.aim.org/aim-column/communist-created-statue-to-honor-king/?utm_so urce=AIM+-+Daily+Email http://www.aim.org/aim-column/communist-created-statue-to-honor-king/?utm_s ource=AIM+-+Daily+Emailutm_campaign=79741d1507-email0823utm_medium=email utm_campaign=79741d1507-email0823utm_medium=email A petition launched by Young declared, The planned monument to our beloved Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. has been awarded to an artist from a country with a reprehensible history of civil rights violations against its people. The granite to be used for King's sculpture will be harvested using slave labor-Chinese workers are not even provided masks to protect their lungs from the silica dust. They die in droves because the Chinese government considers them just as important as the students who protested in Tiananmen Square. The world watched the tanks roll over them. No human rights, No civil rights, and yet the honor of sculpting Dr. Martin Luther King? Not on our watch.---Gilbert Young, a world renowned black artist known for African American art, Communist-Created Statue to Honor King Cliff Kincaid - August 23, 2011 No comments | http://www.aim.org/aim-column/communist-created-statue-to-honor-king/print/ Printer Friendly http://www.aim.org/wp-content/themes/liberal-media-bias/timthumb.php?src=htt p://www.aim.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/images2.jpgw=580zc=1 With President Obama preparing to preside over the official unveiling of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, the last thing the administration needs is a controversy over the Made in China label for the 30-foot structure. But the shocking truth, known for many years, is beginning to be picked up by some media outlets as the special event approaches. The project in honor of the American civil rights figure was outsourced to Lei Yixin, a Chinese government-approved sculptor best known for creating edifices glorifying Mao Tse-Tung, father of Communist China and notorious mass-murderer. The four acres of land for the memorial were granted by Congress and $10 million of the $120 million cost came from U.S. taxpayers. A law authorizing the memorial was signed by President Clinton in 1996. Ironically, the $10 million in federal funding was in a 2005 appropriations amendment co-sponsored by Senator Robert C. Byrd (D-WV), a former member of the Ku Klux Klan. On Sunday, August 28, 2011, the 48th anniversary of King's historic I Have a Dream speech, Obama will deliver remarks at the memorial dedication on the National Mall. The White House says the memorial will commemorate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his contributions to world peace through non-violent social change. Mao, in a 1968 official Chinese government pamphlet, declared that King had been assassinated by the U.S. imperialists and that they had killed him in cold blood. These statements were featured in a published Statement by Comrade Mao Tse-Tung, chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, In support of the Afro-American Struggle Against Violent Repression. So this is what we've come to. Our national memorials are now being made in China, http://blog.sarcasmsociety.com/world/mlk-memorial-statue-made-in-china.html commented one blogger. The London Telegraph said, Critics have openly asked why a black, or at least an American, artist was not chosen and even remarked that Dr. King appears slightly Asian in Mr. Lei's rendering. Other observers agreed, with one http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/131/480/161/ noting, King looks half Chinese in the sculpture. 1000 years from now that is what people will think. On Monday's NBC Nightly News, however, anchor Brian Williams aired a Lasting Legacy story about the opening of the monument to the public without mention of any controversy. The omission may have something to do with the fact that NBC Universal was http://www.mlkmemorial.org/site/pp.aspx?c=hkIUL9MVJxEb=1421929printmode=1 one of the financial contributors to the memorial. Other http://www.mlkmemorial.org/site/c.hkIUL9MVJxE/b.1190571/k.C963/Corporate_Sp onsors.htm contributors include CBS and the government of South Africa. Many public and political figures and business executives provided the http://www.mlkmemorial.org/site/c.hkIUL9MVJxE/b.1190575/k.5D0A/Foundation_L eadership.htm leadership for the process of building a national memorial honoring King. A Donor's Wall will recognize high level ($1,000,000 and above) donors. But sculptor Gilbert Young, a world renowned black artist known for African American art, had formed a group, When King Is Ours, which was designed, in his words, to protest the appointment of a communist Chinese artist, famous for glorifying the mass murderer Mao Zedong, to do the King monument. He also http://www.gilbertyoungart.com/gilbertyoungart/readnews.php?newsid=44030209 complained that the project was using slave labor. Chinese human rights
[osint] Individuals Who Pose A Threat Cleared To Work In Airports
No Muslim should ever be permitted to work in any sensitive position. B http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2011/aug/individuals-who-pose-threat-clear ed-work-airports Individuals Who Pose A Threat Cleared To Work In Airports http://a4cgr.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/homelandinsecurityczar.gifLast Updated: Tue, 08/23/2011 - 10:20am A decade after the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history the Homeland Security agency created to protect the nation's transportation system clears individuals who pose a threat to work in secure areas of American airports. It may seem like a bad joke but it's reality at the perpetually inept Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the 55,000-employee monster created after 9/11 to avoid another terrorist attack. Instead the agency that embarrasses innocent citizens with invasive, genital-groping personal searches has been marred by a series of gaffes that have left the country vulnerable amid increasing threats of terrorism. Since its creation the TSA has made headlines for regularly http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2011/feb/tsa-screeners-rob-passengers missing guns and bombs during random tests at major U.S. airports, approving background checks for illegal immigrants to work in sensitive areas of busy airports and clearing dozens of illegal aliens to train as pilots just as several of the 9/11 hijackers did. The agency has also seen several agents arrested for official misconduct, including stealing from passengers' bags at some of the nation's busiest airports. This month a federal audit reveals that, after nearly a decade, the TSA still can't guarantee that agents working in secure areas of airports don't pose a risk. That's because the agency doesn't always verify the identity of job applicants or even their legal status against a government immigration database. This means that the TSA can't account for agency employees with access to secure areas of airports, according to a Homeland Security Inspector General report made public a few days ago. Portions of the http://www.dhs.gov/xoig/assets/mgmtrpts/OIG_11-95_July11.pdf report have been redacted for security reasons, but the big picture is clear: The safety of airport workers, passengers, and aircraft is at risk due to the vulnerabilities in the airport operator badging process, according to the inspector general. Investigators found that only 193 of 280 airports could provide reports of the locations where high-security workers were stationed. The recommendations to fix the problem are almost comical because they simply require common sense. For example, the IG suggests verifying the identity of TSA job applicants, accurately vetting their personal information and requiring airports to conduct criminal record checks for badge holders to assure individuals who commit disqualifying crimes are stripped of their access to secure airport areas. While the higher ups at the TSA work to implement these simple procedures, the agency keeps getting enormous amounts of taxpayer dollars to fulfill its mission despite its many failures. President Obama has given the agency more than http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2011/feb/tsa-screeners-rob-passengers $3 billion in recovery funds and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano wants Congress to increase its 2012 budget by $459 million to a whopping $8.1 billion.

[osint] What Will Libya Look Like? Iran Had a Revolution Once
What Will Libya Look Like? Posted By Ben Shapiro On August 24, 2011 Reportage surrounding Libya suggests that everything will be sweetness and light once sadistic madman Col. Muammar Qaddafi is ousted permanently. Who, today, does not thrill to the spectacle of freedom in Tripoli? asks Fouad Ajami in the pages of the Wall Street Journal. A brave people, civilians in the main, exiles who returned to their devastated country, students with no military skills - all headed to the front in their pickup trucks to reclaim their homeland from a tyrant who had turned it into a laboratory for his mix of megalomania and derangement. These are the people who have made this rebellion. Really? Is that who they are? Ajami himself seems to doubt it. There is no way that a blanket assertion can be made that this massive Libyan upheaval is free of Islamists, he admits. His only evidence to the contrary is the more compelling evidence of the rebellion itself - its composition, the earnestness of the professionals and civil libertarians active in it, their promise that the terrible autocrat will not be replaced by a zealous, unforgiving theocracy. Sparse evidence indeed, and a promise unlikely to be kept, particularly when the first purported draft constitution for the reconstituted Libya centers around the primacy of Islamic law. The document has all of the flowery buzzwords the foreign press loves to focus upon: justice, equality . progress and prosperity. But the first General Provision of the draft constitution reads, Islam is the Religion of the State and the principal source of legislation is Islamic Jurisprudence (Shariah). Article 8 of the draft Constitution is purely socialist in nature: The State shall further guarantee the fair distribution of national wealth among citizens, and among the different cities and districts thereof. Article 10 guarantees the right of asylum - a right that has been used by Libya in the past to protect murderers like the Lockerbie bomber. Forgive me if I do not thrill to the spectacle of such freedom. We were supposed to thrill to the spectacle of Egyptian freedom, too. Instead, Egypt has been largely in thrall to the Muslim Brotherhood since the ousting of Hosni Mubarak, and is now involved in border skirmishes with Israel. Egyptians in Cairo have scaled the Israeli embassy and ripped down the Israeli flag. One Egyptian presidential candidate sent a salute of pride to the public hero who burned the Zionist flag that spoiled the Egyptian air for 30 years. Egypt has since been funneling weapons and supplies into the Gaza Strip. Is this the freedom we were supposed to cheer? And what of Tunisia? Everyone seemed endlessly enthusiastic about the deposing of secular dictator Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali. Now, we hear nothing about progress in that powerful source of the so-called Arab Spring. Prime Minister Beji Caid Essebsi took over for Ben Ali, but Tunisians believe he is a representative of the old guard - and now it looks as though there is a serious shot that Ennahda, an Islamist political party, will win the next open election. Says one Ennahda opponent, with Ennahda in power, It would be Iran. Ennahda pays lip service to openness and moderation, and the world press seems to have bought the line - but that doesn't mean there's any evidence at all for it. Ibrahim Letaief, a radio host in Tunisia, says, They're doing doublespeak, and everyone knows it. According to the New York Times, Letaief says Ennahda has only tempered its rhetoric in a bid to win votes, but in power would impose strict Islamic law. Should Muammar Qaddafi have been left in power? Of course not. But the fault here lies with the Obama Administration, which did nothing to find US allies in Libya and forward their agenda, rather than following the chaos from behind and dropping bombs from on high. The Obama Administration chose the same path in Egypt, and the result has been their strong move towards Islamism; the Obama Administration did the same thing in Tunisia, and now they too stand on the brink. Should we find comfort in the idea that the Obama Administration is now calling for the ouster of Syria's President Bashar Assad? If past history is any indicator, Assad will be replaced by someone even worse. There are three real victims in all of this. The first is the moderates in these countries, who fight for their freedom, only to fall victim to the well-organized Muslim Brotherhood-backed movements that usually take power. They simply transition from life under tyranny to life under more strict Islamist tyranny. The second group of victims is the world markets, which are now subject to the oil whims of Islamists. The third group is the Israelis, who are the scapegoat for all Islamist racism and ire, and whom the first two groups are only too happy to blame for all of their problems. So, should we celebrate with Ajami? Not yet. After all, Iran once had a revolution, too. Not

According to a report from Stern magazine, the plot was thought up by a sheikh who belonged to bin Laden's inner circle and continued communicating with the now deceased Islamist terrorist even while he was hiding in Pakistan. It involved planting a series of terror cells throughout Europe, ready to strike. Two arrested German Islamists had warned authorities of the plot after a series of interrogations last year, but a dispute broke out among security agencies about how much weight to give them, Stern reported. Some saw the sheikh as nothing more than a religious inspiration to al-Qaida and incapable of planning complex attacks. But German officials eventually felt concerned enough to issue an unprecedented terror warning last November. Stern said the new bid Laden documents confirmed the sheikh's influence in the terrorist organization and the acute danger Germany faced.

The others being a Political Secretary, a Politician, a Government Official, a Business Magnate and 3 Film Personalities. 3) Amongst the Spiritual/Religious Gurus though he was the only Muslim and No. 3 in 2009 list, this year (2010) Dr. Zakir Naik TOPPED the List of Spiritual / Religious Gurus at No. 89, for preaching of Islam, followed by Jaggi Vasudev (at No. 94, for his trees planting work), Baba Ramdev (at No. 99, for his Yoga work) and Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (at No. 100, for his Sudarshan Kriya breathing technique work) respectively. 4) Dr. Zakir Naik was recently also selected and listed in http://www.irf.net/index.php?option=com_contentview=articleid=22Itemid=5 4 The 500 Most Influential Muslims in the World (without rankings) published by the George Washington University, USA. Now that we have some background information on the Dr., lets take a look at some of the verses of the Sahih Ahadith. Bukhari Hadith Volume 9, Book 92, Number 432: http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/h adith/bukhari/092.sbt.html Narrated Ibn 'Umar: The Jews brought a man and a woman who had committed illegal sexual intercourse, to the Prophet and the Prophet ordered them to be stoned to death, and they were stoned to death near the mosque where the biers used to be placed. Bukhari Hadith Volume 8, Book 82, Number 795: http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/h adith/bukhari/082.sbt.html Narrated Anas: The Prophet cut off the hands and feet of the men belonging to the tribe of 'Uraina and did not cauterise (their bleeding limbs) till they died. Bukari Hadith Volume 8, Book 82, Number 822: Narrated Abu Huraira and Said bin Khalid: The verdict of Allah's Apostle was sought about an unmarried slave girl guilty of illegal intercourse. He replied, If she commits illegal sexual intercourse, then flog her (fifty stripes), and if she commits illegal sexual intercourse (after that for the second time), then flog her (fifty stripes), and if she commits illegal sexual intercourse (for the third time), then flog her (fifty stripes) and sell her for even a hair rope. Ibn Shihab said, I am not sure whether the Prophet ordered that she be sold after the third or fourth time of committing illegal intercourse. Bukhari Hadith Volume 1, Book 8, Number 427: http://loganswarning.com/2011/01/13/coming-soon-islamic-center-of-long-isla nds-4-million-dollar-19000-sq-ft-expansion-where-is-the-zakat-going/ Narrated 'Aisha and 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas: When the last moment of the life of Allah's Apostle came he started putting his 'Khamisa' on his face and when he felt hot and short of breath he took it off his face and said, May Allah curse the Jews and Christians for they built the places of worship at the graves of their Prophets. The Prophet was warning (Muslims) of what those had done. Muslim Hadith Book 019, Number 4366: http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/h adith/muslim/019.smt.html It has been narrated by 'Umar b. al-Khattib that he heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say: I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but

European 'No-Go' Zones for Non-Muslims Proliferating Occupation Without Tanks or Soldiers by Soeren Kern http://www.hudson-ny.org/author/Soeren+Kern August 22, 2011 at 5:00 am http://www.hudson-ny.org/2367/european-muslim-no-go-zones Islamic extremists are stepping up the creation of no-go areas in European cities that are off-limits to non-Muslims. Many of the no-go zones function as microstates governed by Islamic Sharia law. Host-country authorities effectively have lost control in these areas and in many instances are unable to provide even basic public aid such as police, fire fighting and ambulance services. The no-go areas are the by-product of decades of multicultural policies that have encouraged Muslim immigrants to create parallel societies and remain segregated rather than become integrated into their European host nations. In Britain, for example, a Muslim group called Muslims Against the Crusades http://www.muslimsagainstcrusades.com/ has launched a campaign to turn twelve British cities http://www.hudson-ny.org/2278/britain-islamic-emirates-project including what it calls Londonistan into independent Islamic states. The so-called Islamic Emirates would function as autonomous enclaves ruled by Islamic Sharia law and operate entirely outside British jurisprudence. The Islamic Emirates Project http://www.muslimsagainstcrusades.com/media/britain-s-first-islamic-emirate -march names the British cities of Birmingham, Bradford, Derby, Dewsbury, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Luton, Manchester, Sheffield, as well as Waltham Forest in northeast London and Tower Hamlets in East London as territories to be targeted for blanket Sharia rule. In the Tower Hamlets area of East London (also known as the Islamic Republic of Tower Hamlets), for example, extremist Muslim preachers, called the Tower Hamlets Taliban http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1386558/Tower-Hamlets-Taliban-Death -threats-women-gays-attacked-streets.html , regularly issue death threats to women who refuse to wear Islamic veils http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1377780/London-Taliban-targeting-wo men-gays-bid-impose-sharia-law.html . Neighborhood streets have been plastered with posters declaring You are entering a Sharia controlled zone: Islamic rules enforced. And street advertising deemed offensive to Muslims is regularly vandalized http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1386364/Censored-Bikini-advert-blac ked-spray-paint-Muslim-extremists-object-women-swimsuits.html or blacked out with spray paint. In the Bury Park area of Luton, Muslims have been accused of ethnic cleansing by harassing non-Muslims to the point that many of them move out of Muslim neighborhoods. In the West Midlands, two Christian preachers have been accused of hate crimes for handing out gospel leaflets in a predominantly Muslim area http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2058935/Police-advise-Christian-prea chers-to-leave-Muslim-area-of-Birmingham.html of Birmingham. In Leytonstone in east London, the Muslim extremist Abu Izzadeen heckled the former Home Secretary John Reid by saying: How dare you come to a Muslim area http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23367571-radical-shouts-down-rei d-on-muslim-brainwashing.do . In France, large swaths of Muslim neighborhoods are now considered no-go zones by French police. At last count, there are 751 Sensitive Urban Zones http://sig.ville.gouv.fr/Atlas/ZUS/ (Zones Urbaines Sensibles, ZUS), as they are euphemistically called. A complete list of the ZUS can be found on a French government website http://sig.ville.gouv.fr/Atlas/ZUS/ , complete with satellite maps and precise street demarcations. An estimated 5 million Muslims live in the ZUS, parts of France over which the French state has lost control. Muslim immigrants are taking control of other parts of France too. In Paris and other French cities with high Muslim populations, such as Lyons, Marseilles and Toulouse, thousands of Muslims are closing off streets and sidewalks (and by extension, are closing down local businesses and trapping non-Muslim residents in their homes and offices) to accommodate overflowing crowds for Friday prayers. Some mosques have also begun broadcasting sermons and chants of http://ripostelaique.com/Dois-je-subir-tous-les-vendredis.html Allahu Akbar via loudspeakers into the streets.

[osint] WHO AM I?
I was born in one country, raised in another. My father was born in another country. I was not his only child. He fathered several children with numerous women. I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me. My mother died at an early age from cancer. Although my father deserted me and my mother raised me, I later wrote a book idolizing my father not my mother. Later in life, questions arose over my real name. My birth records were sketchy. No one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate. I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my new country, but I practiced non-traditional beliefs and didn't follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny. I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them. That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and embarked on a new career. I wrote a book about my struggles growing up. It was clear to those who read my memoirs, that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child. I became active in local politics in my 30's then, with help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40s. They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything. I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization. Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to me, as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks. I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances. This bolstered my ego. At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy... I was very critical of my country in the last war, and seized every opportunity to bash my country. But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country's economy. I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better, and every poor person would be fed and housed for free. I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess. It was the free market, banks and corporations. I decided to start making citizens hate them and, if they became envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight. I called mine A People's Campaign. That sounded good to all people. I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics and was able to gain widespread popular support. I knew that, if I merely offered the people 'hope', together we could change our country and the world. So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to include persecuted minorities. My true views were not widely known and I kept them unknown, until after I became my nation's leader. I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people associated with. I'm glad they didn't. Then I became the most powerful man in the world. And then world learned the truth. Who am I? ADOLPH HITLER If you were thinking of SOMEONE ELSE, you should be scared, very scared!

Last week, I received an email from the leader of the Jewish Motorcycle Group I belong to in Montreal. Generally, when broadcast emails are sent to members of the Maccabees, they're to announce a group ride, but this time, it was to ask for something far more important. SATURDAY AUGUST 20, 2011 - DEMONSTRATION DAY: There happens to be a couple of retail shoe stores on Rue Saint Denis, which is about 99% French on the East Side of Montreal, where retail boutiques and cafes abound. What sets these two shoe stores apart from all the others, is that one of them, which is owned by a French Canadian couple sells some Israeli made shoes, while the other, which is owned by a Jewish couple, sells only Israeli made shoes and handbags. What they share in common beside their Israeli made products is that both of them have come under attack from the LEFT, including unions and at least one French Quebecois Member of the Quebec Legislator, who routinely pickets these stores demanding that they either STOP selling Israeli products or be shut down. To the great credit of the French-owned store, the owners told the boycotters and picketers to screw-off - That they will sell whatever products they wanted to, and no one was going to force them to do otherwise. To the owners of the Jewish-owned store, it was more than just carrying Israeli made products, since it has become what it was from the very beginning, but this time it is out in the open . . . The picketers and boycotters are nothing more and nothing less than rank ANTI-SEMITES using the Palestinian canard as their excuse to demean, defame and PUNISH Jews. Eight of the Maccabees met in Central Montreal, from where we rode to Saint Denis Street as a group. We're not BIKERS in the classic stereotype. We're also not tough guys out looking for trouble. But, what we are, are Jewish middle-aged guys, many of us pushing 60 and 70 years old who understand the real world and the reality of anti-Semitism. We are also not frightened to wear a Yellow Jewish Star on our chests as Europe's Jews were FORCED to wear during the years of the Holocaust. And we're PROUD to fly Israeli flags on the back of our Bikes whenever and wherever we have a mind to. And if challenged by Jew-Haters, at least for the eight of us who were there, there is no question in my mind that we would stand our ground, ask no mercy, and show no quarter. TO MY GREAT AND HAPPY SURPRISE - There were MORE French Quebec demonstrators than there were Jewish demonstrators, who like the Jews were there to SUPPORT Israel and the store. The French carried professional made signs that read Amities Quebec Israel (Quebec Friends of Israel). In conversation in French with one of their leaders who spoke English not nearly as well as I can speak French; I asked him why he was there, and why he was supporting Israel? His response was as succinct as it could be: These guys are from the far LEFT, and have no use for FREEDOM and the rights of others. And more than that, if they are not stood-up-to now, this will spread like a cancer, and we all know from history, that what happens to the Jews, will eventually happen to the rest of us. THERE'S NO JEW-HATER LIKE A SELF-HATING JEW: Ironically, the piece of human rubbish leading this pathetic little group of anti-Semites was in fact a FAR LEFT lawyer wearing a Che Guevara T shirt who was himself Jewish, who seemed lost in the drug induced 60's. To the French supporter of Israel to whom I was speaking, his only comment about the LEFTIST self-hating Jew was in one word - CAPO, the name for those Jews during the Holocaust who for one reason or another carried-out the dirty work against their fellow Jews at the behest of the Nazis. The long and short of this story is that nothing happened of any visible consequence . . . BUT A GREAT DEAL HAPPENED IN MY MIND. I saw 1932 on that Saint Denis street sidewalk. I saw people walking by, accepting pamphlets that were nothing more than an expression of Jew-Hatred, while paying little to no
[osint] Removing curtains of Muslim harems - II
Weekly Blitz August 20, 2011 Saturday Removing curtains of Arab harems - II LENGTH: 2610 words DATELINE: Dhaka Dhaka, Aug. 20 -- Deep blue brothels', that exactly what the Syrian and Jordanian under-cover brothels are named, where up to 2010, more than 90,000 Iraqi females had been trapped into prostitution, either by trafficking racket or so-called lovers. According to estimation, Syrian and Jordanian brothel alone house more than 400,000 sex workers, whose main customers are Saudis. Governments are fully aware of such sex rackets, which operate mostly behind the curtain of 'Family House' or 'Boutique Shops'. In Damascus, there are at least two large brothels, which run under the cover of 'Therapy Center'. Syrian law allows establishment of nightclubs, pubs and bars. In recent years, there had also been mushroom growth of 'Discos', which in most cases are cabarets. On weekends dozens of girls will be seen on the outskirts of the Syrian capital, Damascus, moving half-heartedly on the dance floor, lit up by flashing disco lights. They are dressed in tight jeans, low-cut tops and knee-high boots, but the girls' make-up can't disguise the fact that most are in their mid-teens. It's a strange sight in a conservative Muslim country, but this is the sex business, and it's booming as a result of the war in Iraq. At the backstage, the manager sits in his leather chair, doing business. Saudi clients will be seen quoting for the girls. Next door, in a dimly lit room, the next shift of girls arrives, taking off the black all-covering abyss [Burqa] they wear outside and putting on lipstick and mascara. To judge from the cars parked outside, the clients come from all over the Gulf region - many are young Saudi men escaping from an even more conservative moral climate. Ninety-five percent of the sex workers in Syrian brothels are Iraqis. Most are unwilling to talk, but Zahra, an attractive girl with a bare midriff and tattoos, says she's 16. She has been working in this club since fleeing to Syria from Baghdad after the war. She doesn't like it, she says, but what can we do? I hope things get better in Iraq, because I miss it. I want to go back, but I have to look after my sister. Zahra points to a thin, pubescent girl with long black hair, who seems to be dancing quite happily. Aged 13, Nadia started in the club two months ago. These girls are not just providing the floor show - they have paid to be here, and they need to pick up a client, or they'll lose money. If successful, they'll earn about US$100, equivalent to a month's wages in a factory. There are more than a million Iraqi refugees in Syria; many are women whose husbands or fathers have been killed. Banned from working legally, they have few options outside the sex trade. No one knows how many end up as prostitutes, but Iraqi women's group named Women's Will, puts the figure at 90,000. Saida Zainab is a run-down area with a large Iraqi population. Millions of Shias go there every year, because of the shrine of the granddaughter of the prophet of Islam. In this area, a large number of undeclared or private brothels are operating. It is alleged that Iraqi children are forced into prostitution in these private brothels, which also are known as 'Deep Blue Brothels'. Bassam al-Kadi of Syrian Women Observatory says: Some have been sexually abused in Iraq, but others are being prostituted by fathers and uncles who bring them here under the pretext of protecting them. They are virgins, and they are brought here like an investment and exploited in a very ugly way. One of such 'Deep Blue Brothels' are operated by a Syrian female named Samia. She selected a residential building which was more known for having a cultural center of Iran as well as a Quranic Studies Institute, funded by Kuwait. This house with such good social esteem was a better location for Samia to operate a private brothel. One night, neighbours of Samia were forced to inform the police as a number of male and female in drunken state were creating public nuisance by loudly playing music. Only minutes later, the police patrol arrived and the neighbours were delighted that their suffering caused by Samia and her costumers would now be put to an end. But to their utter surprise, those police officers, instead of taking any action against the brothel owner, simply stayed there for couple of hours, and came out in a joyous mood. It was not difficult for Samia's neighbours to realize that, such 'Deep Blue Brothels' enjoy patronization from influential quarters, where law enforcing agencies even cannot take any action. The spread of the practice of prostitution doesn't cease to be a frightening matter to everyone and the gravity of the matter lies in the fact that it has reached the extent of public practice, without dreading the responsible authorities. The greatest danger is that it is reaching the fabric of Syrian communities, far from where the cities where prostitution was traditionally found
