TIME TO RESTORE THE SHAH AND MAKE IRAN A PERSIAN CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY!

THE BEST POSSIBLE FUTURE FOR IRAN IS TO BECOME A CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY UNDER REZA PAHALAVI.

HE'S NOT CAMPAIGNING FOR THIS, JUST THE LIBERATION OF HIS PEOPLE.

PAHLAVI:

Reza Pahlavi of Iran’s Statement on the Latest Developments in Iran

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

Today the world is witnessing the demonstrated anger of millions of Iranians against a regime that denies their most basic rights, including the right to choose leaders who could improve their abysmal condition.

There is no exit from this condition, so long as one man appropriates onto himself the “power of god” and controls the judiciary, the media, the security forces and, through direct and indirect appointees dictates the only candidates claiming to represent an impoverished and disenfranchised people.

Today I stand united with my fellow Iranians and call for the end of the Islamic Republic, or any other prefix in front of the name of my beloved Iran that indicates theocracy or any other form of disregard for democratic and human rights.

I caution the world that offering any incentives or “carrots” to the theocracy under these circumstances is an affront to the people of Iran. This is not a time for short-sighted, self-defeating tactical games. This is the time for the free world to stand true to its principals and support the people of Iran’s quest for democracy and human rights.

IRAN DECIDES TO BARE ALL: ARRESTS "DEFEATED" CANDIDATE MOUSAVI

*******UPDATE: BBC: REPORTED MOUSAVI IS APPARENTLY FREE - BUT IN HIDING - AS THE REGIME HAS ROUNDED UP 100'S OF REFORMERS FOR HAVING TIES TO THE RIOTERS...

*******UPDATE #2: YNET: IRANIANS DENY MOUSAVI UNDER HOUSE ARREST.

*******UPDATE #3: GUARDIAN:

Outraged supporters of the moderate candidate, Mir Hussein Mousavi, who claimed his defeat in the Iranian election at the hands of hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was manipulated, took to the streets of Tehran again today raising the prospect of more violent clashes.

With temperatures at 35C , the situation in the Iranian capital threatened to reach boiling point as special forces in riot gear chased protesters through side streets near Fatemi Square. In a sign of the anger among Mousavi's supporters, they chanted "the president is committing a crime and the supreme leader is supporting him", highly inflammatory language in a regime where the supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, is considered irreproachable.

Crowds also gathered outside Mousavi's headquarters but there was no sign of Ahmadinejad's chief political rival, who is rumoured to be under house arrest. Supporters waved their fists and chanted anti-Ahmadinejad slogans.

HAARETZ:

Iranian presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi was reportedly arrested Saturday following the reformist's defeat at the polls by hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Supporters of Mousavi, the main challenger to Ahmadinejad, have responded to the election with the most serious unrest in Tehran in a decade and claim that the result was the work of a dictatorship.

There have been a number of contradictory reports from Iran, in large part due to the heavy restrictions imposed on the media in the Islamic Republic and in particular on foreign reporters.

Mousavi's arrest was reported by an unofficial source, who said that the presidential contender had been arrested en route to the home of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Pro-reform Mousavi has denounced the election as rigged and vowed he will not accept defeat. He and key aides could not be reached by phone Saturday.

Hizballah ups the ante: demands veto power to enter Hariri's supposedly pro-West coalition

They lost the election, but not their nerves; (I'd guess because their ruthless bosses in Damascus and Tehran - and Moscow (Syria's & Iran's enablers) - have told them not to worry):

THE PENINSULA:

Hezbollah and its allies will not join a new Lebanese government unless they have veto power over its decisions, a leading Christian member of their alliance said yesterday.

Suleiman Franjieh said that without veto power it would be better to stay in opposition than to join the new government, which is almost certain to be led by a rival US-backed coalition that won a parliamentary election on Sunday.

“Let them rule and take the whole government, but without us as bystanders in it,” Franjieh told Reuters in an interview. “We will not hold things up. But we will refuse to join the government,” added Franjieh, whose Marada movement won three of parliament’s 128 seats in the election.

Hezbollah and its allies have veto power in the current cabinet, which was formed last year as part of a deal that defused a power struggle with the rival coalition headed by Saad Al Hariri. The Sunni politician is seen as a frontrunner to head the next cabinet.

Veto power was given to the Iran- and Syria-backed Hezbollah and its allies, including Christian politician Michel Aoun, in last year’s deal by allocating them 11 of 30 cabinet seats.

“Any formulation not including the third-plus-one is rejected by the opposition. Without the third, the opposition will not participate in the government,” Franjieh said, adding that his statement reflected the opposition’s position.

IF HARIRI GIVES IN THEN NOTHING HAS CHANGED - IOW: THEN THE ELECTION CHANGED NOTHING.

HARIRI HAS ALREADY SAID HE'D LET THEM KEEP THEIR ARMS - DESPITE A UNSCR DEMANDING THEY DISARM.

IF HARIRI GIVES IN, THEN HE'S A PHONY AND A USELESS PIECE OF CRAP NOT WORTH FIGHTING FOR .

*******UPDATE: MORE BAD NEWS: EU'S FOREIGN POLICY CHIEF SOLANA MEETS WITH HIZBALLAH!

DOES ANY SANE PERSON BELIEVE THAT THE IRANIAN MULLAHCRACY WILL EVER STEP DOWN VOLUNTARILY AS THE RESULT OF AN ELECTION!?

Ahmadinejad was declared the winner.


The people know it's a sham. They're rioting. Scores have been killed.


Did anyone think it would end any other way!?


The islamo-tyrants who call the shots will never step down as the result of an election.





They will have to be annihilated by a democratic revolution - which might occur as a result of this sham election - or a revolt brought on by a massive preemptive attack.

OR BOTH.

Which means the best time to attack Iran's nuke sites is RIGHT NOW!

Is Andrew Cuomo Liar, Incompetent or Both?

I haven’t decided yet whether New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is a liar, an incompetent public official or both.

In a post June 5, I shared the outcome of a Freedom of Information Law (a.k.a., “FOIL”) request I had filed eight days earlier with Cuomo’s office: In short, he denied having any records of contact with representatives of the Amazon Defense Coalition, the over-the-top-zealous group behind a $27 billion lawsuit filed against Chevron Corporation in Ecuador. Further, it appears, he wants people like me to believe the accusatory tone he took in a widely-publicized May 4 letter to Chevron CEO David J. O’Reilly was based solely upon papers filed in the case and was without political motivation.

Now, for the second time in two weeks, Cuomo’s office has denied having had contact during the past 12 months with people on the plaintiff’s side of the case: representatives of Kohn Swift & Graf, P.C., the Philadelphia law firm providing funding for the plaintiff; and Steven Donziger, the lead plaintiff attorney in the case.

I don't believe it. To find out why, click here.

WHY DID BHO FIRE INSPECTOR GERALD WALPIN?

From this posting at Maggie's Notebook:

The Inspector General investigating AmeriCorps and other national service programs has been fired, and may have been fired for revealing misdeeds involving thousands of taxpayer dollars by an Obama supporter. There's more: the way in which Obama handled the firing may have flown in the face of current law....

And So I Go: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow has more:

What did the Inspector General do to get canned by the President? Well for one thing he is investigating ACORN....

The Inspector General’s Office is part of the Department of Commerce and one of the Inspector Generals Office’s most important jobs is to monitor the Census that is taken every 10 years....

Read it all HERE.

You decide: Is BHO trying to cover up something?

Meanwhile, BHO is on his never-ending "campaign trail" — this time, promoting healthcare reform. Let's hope (cough) that he's more successful with that endeavor than he has been with various bailouts.

CUBAN ANTI-CASTRO NEUROSURGEON ALLOWED TO LEAVE CUBA

Reuters:

A prominent Cuban neurosurgeon said on Friday she had received permission to leave Cuba, 15 years after breaking ranks with former leader Fidel Castro over the communist-ruled nation's healthcare system.

... Molina, who founded Havana's prestigious International Center for Neurological Rehabilitation (Ciren), was elected to the Cuban parliament in 1993.But she fell out with Fidel Castro and quit the party in 1994 after asserting that Cuba was eroding its principle of free, quality healthcare for all by selling medical services to foreigners to meet its pressing needs for foreign currency.

... In the prologue to a book last year, he [CASTRO] said Molina's case provided "excellent material for imperialist blackmail against Cuba."

Cuban authorities consider dissidents to be mercenaries working for the United States, which has openly supported opposition to Cuba's government.

CUBAN HEALTHCARE SUCKS.

BUT EVEN IF IT WAS GREAT FOR EVERYBODY, IT WOULD NOT BE WORTH LIVING UNDER TYRANNY.

AFTER ALL: THE USSR GAVE ALL OF IT'S CITIZENS FREE HEALTHCARE - EVEN IN THE GULAG.

IS THERE ANYTHING "REVOLUTIONARY" ABOUT IRAN'S "REVOLUTION" OR THE IRANIAN REVOLUTIONARY GUARD?

On this day - the day Iran held an "election", it is good to ask this:

IS THERE ANYTHING "REVOLUTIONARY" ABOUT IRAN'S 1979 "REVOLUTION" OR THE IRANIAN REVOLUTIONARY GUARD?

NOPE.

You cannot call anything a revolution which installed a 10th Century theocracy.

It was a huge step back. National Suicide.

ALL socialist revolts are huge steps back. AND YES: THE IRANIAN REGIME IS SOCIALIST.

WHY ARE ALL SOCIALIST REVOLTS REACTIONARY!?

SIMPLE:

Marx called communism - which is a form of socialism - "the dictatorship of the proletarian".

This does NOT bring about "economic justice" - as the left likes to put it.

It's merely substituting one form of TYRANNY - the tyranny of the aristocratic class over everyone else - for another form of tyranny: the tyranny of the lower/under/working class over everyone else.

Any revolt which puts in place a tyranny, a regime which systematically interferes with the people's inherent rights and limits their liberty cannot be ever be truthfully called revolutionary.

There has been and there remains only one great revolution and one great revolutionary movement since 1776, THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

This revolution gave humanity limited government, government for, by and of the people, a republic with liberty and justice for all - with emphasis on LIMITED.

The American Revolution explicitly stated and established that a limited government derives its powers from the people, in whom the actual Natural Rights - God-given rights - truly only reside.

Election or not, Iran is a force for and source of evil in the world.

It matters not who is declared the winner.

The sooner we demolish the current reactionary regime there... the better.

The longer we wait the worse will be the costs of the ultimate confrontation.

OBAMA APPEASING RACIST/SOCIALIST SCUM OF ZIMBABWE

AP:

President Barack Obama sought to bolster Zimbabwe's prime minister Friday while withholding support for his coalition government.

Following a White House meeting, Morgan Tsvangirai said he had a productive visit. Still, he is leaving with only a promise of $73 million in conditional aid, a very small figure compared to the scope of Zimbabwe's problems.

In a joint appearance, Obama made clear he is not persuaded that Tsvangirai can turn the country around in partnership with President Robert Mugabe, who has been accused of human rights abuse, corruption and government mismanagement that has left his country impoverished.

Obama said the aid would not go to the government directly.

"We continue to be concerned about consolidating democracy, human rights, and rule of law, but it will be going directly to the people in Zimbabwe and I think can be of assistance to the prime minister in his efforts," he said.

Obama praised Tsvangirai for bravery and for limited success in reforming the country.

"Overall, in a very difficult circumstance, we've seen progress from the prime minister. We are grateful to him," he said.

SCOTSMAN:

A RICH niece of Zimbabwe's prime minister Morgan Tsvangirai, currently on a three-week tour of western countries to beg for aid to kick-start his country's battered economy, has tried to take over a white-owned commercial farm by force.

Dr Erikana Chihombori, who owns a lucrative medical practice in the United States and has citizenship there, tried to seize Bertie Cremer's 60-hectare flower farm near Chegutu, 60 miles east of Harare, but the young land invaders she hired withdrew after complaining they were being paid too little.

She insists she has letters from the Zimbabwean government permitting her to expropriate Mr Cremer's De Rus Farm, which has been owned by his family for 81 years. She also says she has a right to the land, and that her takeover will help "correct historical injustices".

PM TSVANGIRAI AND HIS FAMILY ARE NOT ANY BETTER THAN THE PRESIDENT, MUGABE.

THEY ARE NOT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN CHAVEZ.

OR OBAMA HIMSELF.

THEY'RE ALL SOCIALIST SCUM WHO DIFFER ONLY BY DEGREE.

THE FIGHT BETWEEN TSVANGIRAI AND MUGABE IS LIKE A BATTLE BETWEEN TROTSKY AND STALIN. INTERNECINE. ZIMBABWEANS WERE BETTER OFF IN RHODESIA.

LANCET: 20% OF ALL HOMICIDES IN PAKISTAN ARE "HONOR KILLINGS"

IF YOU LIKE OBAMACARE THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO LEARN TO LOVE HAVING TO WAIT 8 WEEKS TO SEE A DOCTOR

Telegraph:

Figures show that the number of patients waiting more than eight weeks for an outpatient appointment increased by 31.5 per cent between March and April this year.

There were 43,400 people waiting more than eight weeks for an outpatient appointment in April, 82.7 per cent higher than the previous year, according to Health Service Journal.

REPEAT:waiting more than eight weeks

THIS IS WHAT OBAMA HAS IN STORE FOR US - IF WE LET HIM...

CALIFORNIA IS GOING BANKRUPT, BUT THE LIBERAL POLITICIANS WHO RUN THE PLACE STILL HAVE TIME TO PASS RIDIULOUS REGULATIONS: MANDATORY COMPOSTING

NBC/AP:

Trash collectors in San Francisco will soon be doing more than just gathering garbage: They'll be keeping an eye out for people who toss food scraps out with their rubbish.

San Francisco this week passed a mandatory composting law that is believed to be the strictest such ordinance in the nation. Residents will be required to have three color-coded trash bins, including one for recycling, one for trash and a new one for compost — everything from banana peels to coffee grounds.

The law makes San Francisco the leader yet again in environmentally friendly measures, following up on other green initiatives such as banning plastic bags at supermarkets.

LEADER!?!?!?

FROM THE ANNALS OF INSANE SOCIALISTS: CHAVEZ BANS COKE ZERO!

THIS IS RIGHT UP THERE WITH ORDERING PEOPLE TO WEAR THEIR UNDERWEAR ON THE OUTSIDE!

BBC:

Venezuela has banned the sale of the calorie-free Coke Zero, calling it harmful to people's well-being.

"The product should be withdrawn from circulation to preserve the health of Venezuelans," said Health Minister Jesus Mantilla.

Mr Mantilla did not say what the specific problem with Coke Zero was.

Coca-Cola said it would stop production of the drink in the country, but also added that Coke Zero contained no harmful products.

I KNOW WHAT IT IS: IMPERIALISM!

Anti-US motivations?

Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez is a vocal critic of the US, and is in the process of nationalising much of the economy.

He has criticised American "imperialism" repeatedly, and often castigates critics of his rule on his TV show Alo Presidente.

The government this year has seized a rice mill and pasta factory belonging to US food giant Cargill and has threatened action against pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

Venezuela, the world's ninth largest oil producer, has nationalised much of its oil and gas sector since Mr Chavez came to power, and recently took over its third largest bank, Banco de Venezuela.

YOU KNOW WHAT THE REALLY SCARY THING IS!?

CHAVEZ AND OBAMA ARE BIRDS OF A FEATHER!

IMPOSING A RADICALLY NOVEL NOTION OF "MARRIAGE" ON THE PEOPLE

The Big Hollywood website features an article by Maura Flynn allegedly laying out "The Republican Case for Gay Marriage." A simple analysis of the logical flaws in the reasoning behind the argument shows just how topsy-turvy the antinomian leftist movement really is.

Maura Flynn argues that conservatives should defend freedom, and that freedom means the freedom to marry an individual of one's own sex. She writes:

One need only read the comments on this site to know that there are two fundamental schools of thought here. Some of us believe that to be conservative is to defend freedom, preserve individual liberty, and keep government small. Others believe that being conservative is about electing a government that will defend and enforce “traditional” values. For our purposes here, a list of those values isn’t relevant. But if you place yourself in this camp, consider whether you truly want a government that will enforce your personal values at gunpoint (this is what all laws effectively do). And if you surrender such power to the government — power to defend not your life or your property, mind you, but your values — can you live with the consequences when your officials are no longer in power and you are staring down the business end of that barrel? [Emphasis added.]

Maura Flynn claims that social conservatives want to use the power of the government to force their views on marriage on everybody else.

But that's exactly the opposite of the real situation.

Social conservatives accept the plain and simple definition of marriage -one man married to one woman- that has prevailed in Christendom for nearly 2,000 years. They don't need the power of the government to force this view on the United States, because this is the plain and simple definition of marriage that has always existed in the United States.

It is the socially radical left that must use the power of the government to impose its antinomian view of marriage as anything-goes on the rest of society. It is the socially radical left that would use the power of the government to force married couples to give up the traditional understanding of their marriages. It is the socially radical left that would use the power of the government (and which has already used the power of the government) to force their radical, ahistorical, and nihilistic definition of marriage on believing Christians.

That's not defending freedom.

The leftist elites have used the governmental power of the courts -- the least democratic and the most elitist branch of government -- to impose same-sex marriage on States whose voters have rejected changing the laws to suit them. Same-sex marriage has been defeated in every State referendum held, including California.

The movement to force same-sex marriage on America is part and parcel of the left's Gramscian campaign to undermine and destroy every institution of civil society that functions without direct state control.

It is Leftists, not conservatives, who want to enforce their personal values at gunpoint. Marriage is only one part of it. Leftists want to impose their values on everyone else. Lefitsts want to control every aspect of every life. And if you don't accept their values, they will send you to the Gulag or the firing squad.

TONIGHTS' "IF LETTERMAN WAS A RIGHT-WINGER"

Letterman:

"We found out why Bawney Fwank talks funny: he won't swallow and he won't spit it out!"

NOW THAT OBAMA IS POTUS - THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE WORLD - WE SHOULDN'T LOOK AT HIS WORDS, BUT AT HIS ACTIONS

JUST WORDS.

JUST WORDS.

OBAMA SAID THIS SARCASTICALLY - (PLAGIARIZING ER UM ... QUOTING GOVERNOR PATRICK!) - TO DISPEL THE CRITICISM ABOUT HIM THAT HE HADN'T DONE ANYTHING IN HIS LIFE EXCEPT MAKE A FEW WELL-REGARDED SPEECHES.

HE MADE A BIG SPEECH IN PHILLY. A BIG ONE IN DENVER. AND BIG ONE IN GERMANY. AND A BIG ONE IN CAIRO.

BIG SPEECHES.

AS PRESIDENT, OBAMA GETS TO DO MORE THAN MAKE SPEECHES.

HE GETS TO ACT.

LET'S LOOK AT HIS ACTIONS:

1. ORDERED ISRAEL TO CEASE ALL SETTLEMENT ACTIVITY.
2. PREVENTED THE SALE OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT TO ISRAEL - LIKE APACHE HELICOPTERS.
3. RELEASED THE EIT MEMO'S.
4. SIGNED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER CLOSING GITMO, (AND IS SENDING THE UIGHUR TERRORISTS TO BERMUDA!).
5. ATTACKED HOLOCAUST DENIERS WHILE EMBRACING ABBAS - A HOLOCAUST DENIER.
6. USED BILLIONS IN US TAXPAYER MONEY AND GAVE IT TO GM AND CHRYSLER - ONLY TO SEE BOTH FILE BANKRUPTCY AND SELL BOTH COMPANIES TO THE UAW AND OTHERS.
7. PASSED A TRILLION DOLLAR STIMULUS BILL THAT ISN'T STIMULATING A DAMN THING.
8. LIFTED THE BAN ON US TAXPAYER FUNDING OF OVERSEAS ABORTIONS.
9. PUT THE MISSILE DEFENSE PLAN ON HOLD - HELPING IRAN AND RUSSIA.
10. CUT MISSILE DEFENSE BUDGETS BY 10%.
11. WANTS TO REGULATE CO2.
12. WANTS TO REGULATE CIGARETTES.
13. WANTS TO REGULATE SALARIES.
    

WE COULD GO ON.

BUT THIS BAKER'S DOZEN PROVES SOMETHING: THEY PROVE OBAMA IS A DANGEROUS LEFTIST AIDING OUR ENEMIES AD MAKING US WEAKER, AND MORE SOCIALISTIC.

A WEAKER USA MEANS A WEAKER WEST - AND EMBOLDENS RUSSIA AND IRAN AND NORTH KOREA AND THEIR MINIONS.

WE WILL SEE THE SAD AND INEVITABLE RESULTS OF ALL THIS SOONER THAN YOU THINK.

THE UN IS HELPING HIZBALLAH! (IS OBAMA HELPING THEM, TOO!?)

WZ:

This is outrageous even by the UN's nauseating standards.....

UNIFIL peacekeepers in Lebanon, whose mandate was to ensure that Hizbullah not be permitted to rearm or expand it's presence south of the Litani River following the Second Lebanon War, has been engaged in an altogether different mission - facilitating the arrest of those suspected of spying for Israel, Channel 10 reported on Thursday.

According to the report, the UNIFIL activity was uncovered two days ago, during a video conference conducted between the Spanish defense minister and various Spanish military commanders stationed throughout the world, in which the latter briefed the former on their military operations. In a video aired by Channel 10, the Spanish UNIFIL commander was seen reporting that his troops had been engaged in "looking for Israeli spies." "I would like to note the continuation of operations that were conducted this week, searching for an Israeli spy ring." he began. "A number of arrests were made."

FACT: THE PACE OF "ARREST" SHARPLY INCREASED IN JANUARY - COINCIDENTALLY AFTER BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WAS INAUGURATED.

• WE POSTED TWO TIMES ON THE POSSIBILITY THAT OBAMA WAS AIDING HIZBALLAH.

• MAYBE OBAMA IS USING UN AMB. SUSAN RICE AS THE CONDUIT.

• YES: I AM SUGGESTING THAT OBAMA IS A DOUBLE AGENT FOR THE ENEMY.

• IT WOULD BE AN OUTRAGEOUS CHARGE EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT OBAMA RECENTLY RELEASED THE EIT'S MEMOS OVER THE OBJECTIONS OF THE CURRENT AND FOUR PREVIOUS DCI'S. AND HE ORDERED OUR TROOPS TO MIRANDIZE THEIR CAPTIVES.

OBAMA HAS DONE NOTHING TO MAKE US STRONGER OR OUR MILITARY BETTER.

HE HAS DONE SEVERAL THINGS TO HELP THE ENEMY.

MAYBE HE IS HELPING THE UN HELP ISRAEL'S ENEMY.

WHO HAS DONE MORE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND WORLD PEACE, PACIFISTS OR SOLDIERS?

THE SOLDIERS.

IOW: WAR IS THE ANSWER.

AS A WISE MAN SAID:

Now let's set the record straight.

There's no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there's only one guaranteed way you can have peace -- and you can have it in the next second -- surrender.

Admittedly, there's a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson of history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face -- that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight or surrender.

AT BEST, OBAMA IS A DOVE AN AN APPEASER.

BEFORE WE CAN DEFEAT THE ENEMY ABROAD, WE MUST DEFEAT OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES AT HOME.

ANYWAY WE CAN - ON ANY ISSUE, ANY POLICY, ANY FRONT.

UIGHURS GO FROM CUBA TO BERMUDA - AND BRITAIN IS PISSED!

OBAMA PROMISED "SMART DIPLOMACY".

But have we giotten more smart diplomacy? Hardly:

A diplomatic spat has broken out over Bermuda's acceptance of four Chinese Muslim Uighurs released from the US detention centre at Guantanamo Bay.

The UK has told Bermuda, which is one of its overseas territories, that it should have consulted London before agreeing to resettle the Uighurs.

The four were among a group handed over to US forces in Afghanistan, but later found not to be "enemy combatants".

Beijing has demanded the return of all Uighurs held by the US forces to China.

The four who were sent to Bermuda were part of a group of 17 Uighurs still at Guantanamo.

Earlier in the week the Pacific island of Palau had also agreed to take the detainees.

"We did talk to them before the Uighurs got on the plane" - State department official on communication between the US and the UK

OBAMA ISN'T READY FOR PRIME TIME; HE AND HIS CRONIES ARE A BUNCH OF STINKINGLY CORRUPT CHICAGO MACHINE RACKETEERS AND LEFT-WING HACKS.

What Will Be The Outcome of the Amazon Defense Coalition’s Lawsuit Against Chevron in Ecuador?

Life in the Oriente Region of Ecuador is full of danger, mystery and intrigue. Located along the border with Colombia in the northeast part of the country, the region is home to ancient people groups who depend largely upon the resources of the Amazon River basin for their survival. It’s home to thousands of exotic wildlife species. And, for the past 16 years, has been a home away from home for New York trial lawyer and Harvard Law School classmate of President Barack Obama, Steven R. Donziger.

Since 1993, Donziger has made myriad trips from his New York City office to the oil-rich jungles of South America in search of what he must have hoped would be easy money. All he had to do was come up with a “tool” he could use to extract boatloads of cash from the deep, oil-soaked pockets of San Ramon, Calif.-based Chevron Corporation. That tool, it appears, turned out to be a lawsuit against “Big Oil.”

In a case that could be decided upon by a judge in Ecuador any day, the verdict could cost Chevron and its shareholders $27 billion.

Administration, Congress seek to rein in exec pay

Is the long march has become a fast walk off a short pier? 

From the Associated Press:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration struck a delicate balance on executive pay Thursday, blaming flawed compensation packages for encouraging disastrous risk-taking but insisting it doesn't want to dictate how corporations reward their top people.

The administration named Kenneth Feinberg, a lawyer who oversaw payments to families of Sept. 11 victims, as a "special master" with power to reject pay plans he deems excessive at the seven companies with the biggest injections of public money. Feinberg also would have authority to review compensation for the top 100 salaried employees at those companies.

But on Thursday Democrats and administration officials agreed that companies across the private sector need to adjust compensation practices to avoid damaging the economy.

"We believe that compensation practices must be better aligned with long-term value and prudent risk management at all firms, and not just for the financial services industry," Sperling said.

The Federal Reserve, meanwhile, is developing its own set of compensation guidelines for the banks that it oversees. The Fed already has standards for banks that declare that compensation that could lead to material financial losses is considered unsafe and unsound. But regulators are prohibited from using those standards to prescribe specific levels of pay.

Holocaust Museum Shooter: Christian-Hating Socialist

From Ben Johnson at Front Page via Infidel Bloggers Alliance:

On June 10, the nation tragically witnessed a memorial dedicated to commemorating an atrocity become the site of yet more death. Just before 1 p.m., longtime neo-Nazi James Wenneker Von Brunn entered the Holocaust Museum on the National Mall and opened fire in an attempt to complete the Final Solution his hero had left tentative, an omission Von Brunn dubbed “Hitler’s biggest mistake.” As former Defense Secretary Bill Cohen wandered the museum grounds, Von Brunn killed Stephen T. Johns, a black security officer, then was shot himself. As of this writing, the 88-year-old is in critical condition.

The white-wing fringe greeted the news with predictable joy. Its most popular website, Stormfront.org, saluted “White Racialist Treasure: James Von Brunn” in 2004; a thoughtful reader, seeing Von Brunn had backed up his recent threats with deadly action, wrote yesterday, “Definitely needs a bump today.” Another hoped the shooting would cause Americans to believe taking their children to Holocaust memorials is now “an insurance risk.”

Yet racists are not alone in their glee. Leftists have decided to exploit Von Brunn’s madness to engender fear of rampant conservative terrorism. They overlook one point: the shooter was not a conservative. A review of his lengthy associations reveals Von Brunn hardly fits the stereotype of a Religious Right, GOP precinct captain. He denounced the Christian faith as a dastardly Jewish conspiracy, a “HOAX” invented by the Apostle Paul to “DESTROY ROMAN CULTURE” from within by undermining its pagan virility. (All screaming capitalization and grammatical errors in this piece appear in the original.) Like others on the racist fringe, the shooter proclaimed clearly: “SOCIALISM, represents the future of the West.”

Karl Rove, Glenn Beck, and Freepers Killed Stephen Johns?

Never apt to let facts get in the way of slander, the Left immediately branded Von Brunn a conservative – and found a way to tie his actions to their favorite demons: President Bush and Fox News. Upon learning of the tragedy, Huffington Post blogger Michelle Kraus wrote simply, “Thank you very much Karl Rove and your minions.” Fellow HuffenPuffer Joseph Palermo, – also, surprise, an Associate Professor of History at California State University-Sacramento – accused Fox News host Glenn Beck of “using the public airwaves to incite violence,” calling his program “a white reactionary tour de force – incendiary, stupid, and racist.” The usually staid Alan Colmes smeared the mainstream conservative website FreeRepublic.com, an attack quickly recycled by a ThinkProgress.org reader, who added this sterling political analysis: “There isn't really a line drawn between the right wing ‘base’ and neo-Nazis any more. It's a single continuum, and freepers is right there in that gray area.”

Meanwhile, more significant voices joined in. Michael Tomasky, editor of Guardian America, the U.S. affiliate of Britain’s widely read socialist newspaper The Guardian, immediately seized upon the shooting to bludgeon American conservatives. In a blog entitled, “Will They Call Him Terrorist?” Tomasky wrote: “So this is the second act of right-wing terror, the first being the murder of Dr. Tiller, in a mere three weeks. These are terrorists, as surely as Zawahiri is. Will Rush Limbaugh and the other demagogues like him call them that?” He went on to call Rush “Oxyboy” and closed: “All right my British friends. Your turn to sneer again. But let's all say a prayer for the victims of this craziness and their loved ones first.”

The “mainstream” media quickly went into overload. CNN’s Anderson Cooper interviewed Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center, who insisted: “This is a real movement out there. This is not just the fringe-of-the-fringe.” He did not square this with his assessment minutes earlier that there were, at best, 100-200,000 white supremacists in the country and only “a tiny slither” would commit violent acts.[1] MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann denounced “the environment” that produced “two acts of right-wing violence.”[2] (Another HuffPo blogger described a Black Muslim’sshooting of a military recruiter in Arkansas and a Muslim terror cell’s plot to blow up Bronx synagogues as “right-wing” phenomena.) Rachel Maddow insisted, “within two weeks we’ve seen two shootings…when the shooter was clearly motivated by extreme right-wing views.”

All have seized on the shooting in an attempt to salvage the reputation of Janet Napolitano, claiming the two (or four) eruptions confirm the Department of Homeland Security’s retracted assertion “that lone wolves and small terrorist cells embracing violent right-wing extremist ideology are the most dangerous domestic terrorism threat in the United States.” No one can deny Von Brunn’s danger, but neither should anyone be confused about his collectivist history and deeply held totalitarian ideology.

Von Brunn’s Letter to Jim Webb

Yesterday’s attack was Von Brunner’s second attempted strike. Police arrested him on December 7, 1981, after they found him prowling the Washington, D.C., offices of the Federal Reserve Bank posing as a journalist. Inside a bag slumped over his shoulder, they discovered a handgun, a shotgun, and a knife, which he claimed he would use to place then-Fed Chairman Paul Volcker under citizens’ arrest.[3] After being convicted, he tried to obtain help by contacting then-Admiral Jim Webb, now a Democratic U.S. Senator from Virginia, but Von Brunn claimed the postmaster “purloined” the letter. The New York Daily News reports after his release in 1989, Von Brunner “worked at a bookstore run by a Holocaust-denying group called the Institute of Historical Review,” then lived in Hayden Lake, Idaho – then the headquarters of the Aryan Nations.[4]

At some point, he settled in the Maryland area and decided to jump into the publishing game himself.

His Own Words: Not Newsworthy

Von Brunn’s motivation leaps off every page of his self-published “book,” Kill the Best Gentiles, a title supposedly derived from secret Jewish instructions to slaughter the goyim. (You can download the first six chapters here.) Remarkably, his words have received little scrutiny, likely because of what they establish: the “right-wing terrorist” of the Holocaust Museum is an anti-religious socialist. Somehow in its five-page excerpt of Von Brunn’s book, Salon did not find these quotations. I have chosen to reproduce enough of his writings to demonstrate they are not being taken out of context.

Hate Jews, Hate the Jewish Messiah

Although the hate crimes industry lumps neo-Nazis and White Nationalists in with the “Religious Right” – and occasionally, FrontPage Magazine, the better to smear you with – few Americans realize the true believers are not merely non-Christian but anti-Christian. Like their predecessors, they trace Aryan downfall to “culture distorters” (guess who?) – and among the largest “distortion” is the replacement of warlike Germanic gods with Jesus Christ, the Messiah promised by the Jewish Scriptures. Von Brunn dedicated Kill the Best Gentiles to the late professor Revilo P. Oliver. Typical of Nazis, past and present, Oliver branded Christianity a “Jewish cult” and “spiritual syphilis.” Brunn’s follows suit. He shuns the words of the Bible, exhorting his readers: “Remember, these delusions of grandeur were written by HEBREWS about themselves. Megalomaniacs of such magnitude generally are manic-depressives confined to insane asylums.” (p. 31.) His distaste for their Deity could hardly be more evident:

JEHOVAH, like Alley Oop, says whatever the scriptwriters print in the blurbs.
Those who find it compelling to believe Yahweh created a flat earth, circa 5000
B.C., spoke from a burning bush, bared his buttocks, parted the Red Sea, and
loves JEWS above all other nations, share a childish credulity with those who
believe millions of JEWS died in German gas-chambers. It also confirms JEWISH
conviction that Gentiles are stupid sheep. It makes one want to puke. (p. 32.)

Having vilified the Father, he turns his focus to the Son. “Jesus (if he did exist),” Von Brunn wrote, “was born in Galilee (‘Unclean Land of the Gentiles’).” (p. 57.) In a poston the appropriately named website Antichrist.net, Von Brunn expanded on the reason Saul of Tarsus, a former rabbi, would become the chief apostle of this religion to the Gentiles:

Saul -- a Roman citizen -- suddenly realized how he could destroy Rome! Saul trembled uncontrollably with fear and joy. He would simply promulgate the insane
teachings of Jesus! What better way to destroy a Nation -- any Nation -- than to
undermine her hubris; her gods, ethics, mores, history, her gene-pool -- in short, Saul would DESTROY ROMAN CULTURE. Then, as night follows day, with her
foundations rotted, the Roman Empire would FALL. Saul decided to begin the HOAX
by inventing a miraculous encounter on the road to Damascus with the reincarnated Jesus the Christ!

Toward that end -- no different than Hollywood script-writers today -- Saul created a bogus a la Spielberg docu-drama stuffed with lies, miracles, guilt trips, betrayal, virgin birth, eternal damnation, salvation -- a scenario appealing to the superstitious, vulnerable, ignorant yearning sheep -- he named his hoax "Christianity." …

The Gospels profess that only Christians may enter Yahweh's Kingdom of Heaven. To qualify, among other demands, Christians must LOVE THEIR ENEMIES (Jews); give away their personal belongings; eschew knowledge; judge not, despise nature,
abandon earthly pleasures, acknowledge that all YHWH's children are equal; and
above all else worship YHWH, the jealous, wrathful, vengeful, unforgiving,
genocidal, anthropomorphic tribal god (Jesus' father) created by Hebrews in
their image and likeness….The Big Lie technique, employed by Paul to create the
CHRISTIAN RELIGION, also was used to create the HOLOCAUST RELIGION ...
CHRISTIANITY AND THE HOLOCAUST are HOAXES.

"Christianity" destroyed Roman Civilization. The "Holocaust" Religion is destroying Western Civilization. The Aryan gene-pool dies, "unwept, unhonored and unsung."

This assessment seems unlikely to stem from Rush Limbaugh (raised Lutheran), Glenn Beck (converted to Mormonism), or Karl Rove (a Presbyterian accused of agnosticism). So, too, are his unexamined statist economic beliefs.

Socialism: “The Future of the West”

If Von Brunn shared the anti-Christian hatred expressed by Revilo Oliver, he accepted the collectivist, socialist views of Francis Parker Yockey, a guiding light and philosopher of fascism unafraid of aligning with Third World socialists. Francis Parker Yockey’s magnum opus,the 600+ page Imperium, is among the books most beloved by Willis Carto – who founded the “bookstore” that employed Von Brunn following his prison release – and Carto continues to proffer it a foundational text for the philosophically pretentious fascist. Yockey wrote, “The 19th century was the age of Individualism; the 20th and 21st are the ages of Socialism.” Sounding like a Marxist determinist he wrote, “Destiny is irreversible, and the Spirit of Socialism, with its latent Resurgence of Authority and its youthful will-to-power moved steadily forward.” Yockey faulted “Capitalistic thinkers” who “found no ethical fault with destruction of groups and individuals” – that is, races – “by other groups and individuals, so long as the criminal law was not infringed.” In his mind, “The alternative to Socialism was not Capitalism, but chaos.”

Von Brunn proved in Kill the Best Gentiles that he learned well:

Yockey, in his suppressed book Imperium, notes that MARXISM is seriously flawed
because MARX, being a JEW, could not understand the real differences between
CAPITALISM and SOCIALISM, which emanated from the WESTERN CULTURE-ORGANISM. Capitalism and Socialism are how a Nation (Family, People, Race) feels, thinks, and lives, and secondarily are ECONOMIC CONCEPTS. One [capitalism] is past history; the other, WESTERN SOCIALISM, represents the future of the West, and the end of JEWRY on Western soil.

The Age of Reason produced CAPITALISM in the West, the IDEA of rugged individualism: “Every Man for Himself.” Freedom from authority: “Don't tread on me!” At the same time, paradoxically, it was understood, that these rugged individuals should act in the best interest of the Nation-State. To the West ECONOMIC CAPITALISM meant: free trade, no personal income-tax, no state interference in money matters, private ownership, etc. USURY, however, was relegated outside the Pale, and proscribed. Capitalists ound no fault with economically defeating, within the law, opposing economic groups. That was considered “healthy competition.” European States, goaded by Bankers, also competed with one another. Often with disastrous results. During WWI it became painfully clear that the IDEA of “rugged individualism” worked against the ARYAN NATION and its individual States.

WESTERN SOCIALISM, unlike Marxism/Communism and Capitalism, emanates not from Reason alone but from the ETHOS OF THE WEST. It expresses the instinctive and Intuitive feelings UNIQUE to the Aryan Nation. Its Idea is the Musketeers' cry: “One for All and All for One!” The ingathering of the White Nation-States into ONE CULTURAL ORGANISM — its own territory and its own State in which to house, protect, and nurture the Nation — precludes Marxist inspired class warfare and hate-struggles between its component parts. The ECONOMY springs from the CULTURE. MONEY becomes merely a tool, a means of exchange, a storage of value — not an ILLUMINATI weapon.” (pp. 143-4). “No intelligent person took MARX seriously. His Old Testament idea that work is evil — and New Testament idea that men and races are equally endowed — opposes Nature and the very Soul of the West.” Marxists, Bolsheviks, Communists denounce “capitalist pigs.” While from behind the scenes — in the on-going battle to implement the PROTOCOLS OF ZION — all wars and revolutions are financed by JEW CAPITALISTS. (pp. 143-5.)

He, too, despised the freedom and potential decadence capitalism affords, insistingJews were “exacerbating natural disputes between theWestern States and influencing the results in favor of Liberalism as opposed to Authority; that is, materialism, free trade and usury, as opposed to Western Socialism; Internationalism as opposed to Western unity. MONEY was their sword and buckler. Hate and revenge their motif.” (pp. 109-110.)

The nexus of this capitalist plot is…the Federal Reserve Board. Although his website is currently down, the shooter’s account of his 1981 arrest at the Fed states, “The U.S. President, with approval of the Senate, appoints the FED Board of Governors. The majority of them are Wall Street denizens…After all, the FED was designed by bankers for bankers.” (Emphasis in original.) Such sentiments could appear easily on DailyKos or CounterPunch.

That is not without reason. Von Brunn’s association with Willis Carto’s “bookstore” make it undeniable his anti-conservative views were influenced by the far-Left.

Nazis for Chomsky and Land Reform

The “bookstore” that employed the museum shooter was Noontide Press, the brainchild of Willis Carto, often named the most influential anti-Semite in the country. In addition to Holocaust denial material and conspiracy theories, the firm printed and peddled left-of-center volumes by more conspicuous figures, among them the most cited academic in the United States. In the 1980s, Noontide published Noam Chomsky’s book The Fateful Triangle. Chomsky became a hero of Jew-haters for his quasi-conspiratorial views of American society, his defense of Holocaust denier Robert Faurisson, and his distaste for Israel. Noontide’s catalog once carried a number of Chomsky materials out of appreciation. Alongside the linguist on Noontide’s roster stood far-leftist Holly Sklar’s volume Trilateralism: The Trilateral Commission and Elite Planning for World Management and the lecture Palestinian writer and centenarian Sami Hadawi delivered to the IHR entitled, “Who Are the Palestinians?”[5] Noontide also publishes statist works of bygone days, includingGen. Smedley Butler’s “War is a Racket,” a Nye Commission-era screed blaming war on capitalist “war merchants.” One perusing its catalog may also find, for example, reprints works of Depression-era “radio priest” and Nazi plagiarist Fr. Charles Coughlin (whose rallying cry was “A Just and Living Wage”) and his contemporary, fascist theorist Lawrence Dennis (among whose works is Is Capitalism Doomed?).[6]

These writings could scarcely resemble the words of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, or Karl Rove less.

Neither could his association with the Aryan Nations. As many authors have shown, fascism is a totalitarian ideology concentrating all power in the hands of the State and thus not a conservative ideology but a creature of the Left. This holds true in the present as well as the past. The AN’s “Platform for the Aryan National State” includes these collectivist provisions (all quoted):

Promote and preserve the industry and livelihood of the citizens.
[E]liminate the current practice of damaging and poisoning life and environment.
Provide honest aid to farmers and other business people, and shall restore to all citizens rightful land ownership.
Make the necessary provisions for the aged, who have been impoverished by fraud (inflation).
Confiscate all unearned wealth, stolen by fraud or usury and that which is gain from war.
Nationalize all monopolies and multi-national interest[s].
Immediately bring about land reform….

The ideology of Von Brunn and his contemporaries does not comport in any way with conservatism. Yet the Left chose to exploit the death of a black man as a paraphrase of Rahm Emanuel’s dictum; they never let a tragedy go to waste. President Clinton blamed the Oklahoma City Bombing on Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich; leftists hinted George Bush caused Sen. Paul Wellstone’s plane crash; Cindy Sheehan become a momentary folk hero by championing a cause her slain son opposed; and some managed to muffle their glee over President Reagan’s affliction with Alzheimer’s Disease just long enough to call for public funding of embryonic stem cell research.

One can expect no more decency when a self-proclaimed socialist murders a minority in cold blood in a shrine to one of collectivism’s most shameful accomplishments.

OBAMA'S ECONOMY: AMERICANS LOSE $1.33 TRILLION OF THEIR WEALTH

IS THIS THE "ECONOMIC JUSTICE" OBAMA REFERS TO? THE WEALTH DESTRUCTION OF AMERICANS IS INTENTIONAL.

The Federal Reserve reported Thursday that household net worth fell to $50.38 trillion in the January-March quarter, the lowest level since the third quarter of 2004. The first-quarter figure marked a decline of 2.6 percent, or $1.33 trillion, from the final quarter of 2008. Net worth represents total assets such as homes and checking accounts, minus liabilities like mortgages and credit card debt.

Obama has been taught that the only way to make things right is to destroy what other people have worked so hard for.

Americans should be very afraid of what's next. It is about power, power, and more power. Obama stated in this debate that regardless of how history has proven policies and has a track record of what works to recover during a recession, it is about "FAIRNESS."

Remember THIS. What a hypocrite. Pay as you go! More BS.

There is nothing fair about STEALING and DESTROYING what we have worked for. There is nothing "FAIR" about taking away Americans hopes and dreams and shattering the path along the "Pursuit of happiness." Bastards--all of them. All the while, the GOP sits biting their nails in a corner shaking, scared to fight back. Pathetic that even the GOP, including Michael Steele, have been successfullY intimidated by the Left.

Letterman Apologizes, Sort Of

David Letterman tried to muster up an apology to the Palin's for the vile and obscene "jokes." The apology can be found here.

Letterman's nothing more than a leftist, senseless moron. I have no idea how these people sleep at night.

CBS should still fire him or suspend him at the least.

Update: WHO MOVES to PHASE 6 FLU PANDEMIC

UPDATED: I've been watching this for weeks, waiting for the World Health Organization (WHO) to raise the Pandemic Phase from 5 to 6. This morning it happened. The WHO issued a full swine flu (H1N1) global pandemic. Americans should be aware of the potential health dangers and the danger of martial law. Wash your hands often,-- especially before eating--after using bathroom facilities, buy protective masks, colloidal silver, Vitamin D, and GET AMMUNITION. There is a reason why states like Tennessee and Mississippi have passed laws allowing gun owners to keep their firearms during the imposition of martial law.

Stay informed. The full story here.

MURDER AT THE U.S. HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM

The museum is closed today and the flags flying at half mast.

Coincidence or not, yesterday's shooting, which ended in the death of museum guard Stephen Tyrone Johns, occurred on the anniversary date of the end of the Six Day War (1967).

One thread at Stormfront refers to the murderer, James Von Brunn, as a "white racialist treasure." The thread was posted in 2004. I won't link to it.

Yesterday's Examiner published the following article a few hours after the shooting and contains some interesting information that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere:

Holocaust Museum shooter von Brunn a 9/11 'truther' who hated 'neo-cons', Bush, McCain

The man accused of opening fire at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC on June 10, James W. von Brunn, left a trail of unhinged writings around the internet.

The anti-semitism of von Brunn is the first thing one notices when visiting these bizarre websites. However, like those of most "white supremacists", many of von Brunn's political views track "Left" rather than "Right." Clearly, a re-evaluation of these obsolete definitions is long overdue.

For example, he unleashed his hatred of both Presidents Bush and other "neo-conservatives" in online essays. As even some "progressives" such as the influential Adbusters magazine publicly admit, "neoconservative" is often used as a derogatory code word for "Jews". As well, even a cursory glance at "white supremacist" writings reveals a hatred of, say, big corporations that is virtually indistinguishable from that of anti-globalization activists.

James von Brunn's advocacy of 9/11 conspiracy theories also gives him an additional commonality with individuals on the far-left....

NYTIMES: LETTERMAN'S PALIN JOKE WAS TASTELESS; THEY WOULD NOT PUBLISH

GATEWAY:

Shocker!

The New York Times and CBS airbrushed David Letterman's Willow Palin sex jokes from their website: [Click over to Gateway to see the cleaned-up version they printed - it opmits the Bristol Palin rape joke.]

... NYTIMES:

"The transcript we received omitted the joke referred to in the comments below, presumably for reasons of taste. Had the transcript included the joke, we would not have run it. Monologue jokes are routinely edited for taste and brevity."

ESSENTIALLY THE NYTIMES SAID THEY WERE TASTELESS JOKES - BENEATH THEM.

APPARENTLY THEY'RE NOT BENEATH CBS - THE TIFFANY NETWORK!

LETTERMAN SHOULD BE FIRED - LIKE IMUS WAS.

BOLTON: IF ISRAEL ATTACKS IRAN IT WOULD BE AWFUL, BUT A NUCLEAR IRAN WOULD BE WORSE

BOLTON:

Consider the most-often mentioned Iranian responses to a possible Israeli strike:

1) Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz. ...
2) Iran cuts its o wn oil exports to raise world prices. ...
3) Iran attacks U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. ...
4) Iran increases support for global terrorism. ...
5) Iran launches missile attacks on Israel. ...
6) Iran unleashes Hamas and Hezbollah against Israel.

... This brief survey demonstrates why Israel's military option against Iran's nuclear program is so unattractive, but also why failing to act is even worse. All these scenarios become infinitely more dangerous once Iran has deliverable nuclear weapons.

... Most of the Arab world's leaders would welcome Israel solving the Iran nuclear problem, although they certainly won't say so publicly and will rhetorically embrace Iran if Israel strikes. But rhetoric from its Arab neighbors is the only quantum of solace Iran will get.

THE SOONER THE BETTER...

AND THE WORLD WILL SEE WHERE OBAMA REALLY STANDS: I BET HE WOULDN'T VETO A UNSCR SANCTIONING ISRAEL.

THEY'RE GOING BELLY-UP, BUT THE LIBERAL POLITICANS IN CALIFORNIA STILL HAVE THE AUDACITY TO PASS TOUGH NEW RECYCLING LAWS

NYTIMES: San Francisco to Toughen a Strict Recycling Law

BERKELEY, Calif. — San Francisco, which already boasts one of the most aggressive recycling programs in the country, has raised the ante, vowing to levy fines of up to $1,000 on those unwilling to separate their Kung Pao chicken leftovers from their newspapers.

The Board of Supervisors passed new recycling and mandatory composting rules on Tuesday in a 9-to-2 vote. The city already diverts 72 percent of the 2.1 million tons of waste its residents produce each year away from landfills and into recycling and composting programs. The new ordinance will help the city toward its goal of sending zero waste to landfills by 2020, said Jared Blumenfeld, director of the city’s Department of the Environment.

Under the new ordinance, residents will be issued three mandatory garbage bins: a black one for trash, a blue one for recyclables and a green one for compost.

PITY.

RECYCLING IS BULLSHIT. LIKE AGW. AND TOXIC-CO2

BUT THE LIBS IN CALIFIRNIA JUST CANLT STIO THEMSELVES, CAN THEY!?!

I GUESS THEY DESERVE WHAT THEY'RE ABOUT TO GET.

OBAMACARE DOA: AMA ANNOUNCES OPPOSITION!

NYTIMES: Doctors’ Group Opposes Public Insurance Plan

WASHINGTON — As the health care debate heats up, the American Medical Association is letting Congress know that it will oppose creation of a government-sponsored insurance plan, which President Obama and many other Democrats see as an essential element of legislation to remake the health care system.

The opposition, which comes as Mr. Obama prepares to address the powerful doctors’ group on Monday in Chicago, could be a major hurdle for advocates of a public insurance plan. The A.M.A., with about 250,000 members, is America’s largest physician organization.

YES WE CAN KILL OBAMACARE, RESCIND THE PORKULUS, AND PRIVATIZE GM!
