BRITISH LABOURITE ADMITS THEY DELIBERATELY OPENED THE IMMIGRATION FLOODGATES FOR POLITICAL GAIN

TELEGRAPH - (VIA VLAD):

The huge increases in migrants over the last decade were partly due to a politically motivated attempt by ministers to radically change the country and "rub the Right's nose in diversity", according to Andrew Neather, a former adviser to Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Blunkett.

He said Labour's relaxation of controls was a deliberate plan to "open up the UK to mass migration" but that ministers were nervous and reluctant to discuss such a move publicly for fear it would alienate its "core working class vote".

As a result, the public argument for immigration concentrated instead on the economic benefits and need for more migrants.

Critics said the revelations showed a "conspiracy" within Government to impose mass immigration for "cynical" political reasons.

... Sir Andrew Green, chairman of the Migrationwatch think tank, said: "Now at least the truth is out, and it's dynamite.

"Many have long suspected that mass immigration under Labour was not just a cock up but also a conspiracy. They were right.

"This Government has admitted three million immigrants for cynical political reasons concealed by dodgy economic camouflage."

The chairmen of the cross-party Group for Balanced Migration, MPs Frank Field and Nicholas Soames, said: "We welcome this statement by an ex-adviser, which the whole country knows to be true.

"It is the first beam of truth that has officially been shone on the immigration issue in Britain."

• THEY DID IT IN FRANCE TOO - AND HERE TOO.

• THROUGHOUT THE WEST THE LEFT HAS JEOPARDIZED INDIGENOUS CULTURE AND SOCIAL COHESIVENESS FOR PARTISAN POLITICAL GAIN.

• ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION HAS GIVEN FOREIGN ENEMIES A TOEHOLD: JIHAD IN EUROPE AND RECONQUISTA HERE.

• IN EUROPE, IT'S ACTUALLY MORE THAN A TOEHOLD - IT'S A STRANGLEHOLD. AND THE LEFT HAS AIDED AND ABETTED.

WITHOUT THEIR LEFTIST ALLIES WITHIN OUR GATES, OUR FOREIGN ENEMIES WOULDN'T STAND A CHANCE!

WHICH IS WHY I HAVE LONG SAID: TO DEFEAT OUR ENEMIES ABROAD WE NEED TO DEFEAT OUR LEFTIST ENEMIES AT HOME!

You Decide:

ISRAEL, THE SO-CALLED TERRITORIES, APARTHEID, AND THE INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST LEFT (I KNOW, "INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST LEFT" IS REDUNDANT!)

The left says Israel is an apartheid state because the people in the so-called territories are second class citizens.

This is intellectually dishonest and propaganda.

If the territories aren't Israel - and they aren't to the left, and if they shouldn't be - and they shouldn't be according to the left, then how can people living there be second class citizens of a nation - Israel - that they aren't a part of!?!?!

The left - and the Arabs living in the so-called occupied territories - want to have their cake and eat it too.

They want the rights of Israelis without being subject to Israeli laws.

Furthermore, they want these rights even though they deny them to each other; (Israelis - whether Jews or Muslims or Christians, whether Arabs or not - have more rights than anybody living in any Arab nation.)

Apartheid is leftist code for racist and colonialist.

Israel is neither.

Jews have lived there continuously for over 3000 years. Though ruled by Muslims for hundreds of years it was never ever a separate polity except under the Jews. And while ruled by Muslims they disregarded the Temple Mount entirely and it fell into disrepair.

Anti-Zionism is a form or racism and a facet of anti-West leftism.

And those who call Israel an apartheid colony of the West are either dupes or enemies of the West.

The Holy Land was Jewish first. Then it was Christian. From Iraq to Morocco.

The interlopers are the Arabs and Muslims. They took over by force - through jihado-terror.

The only true totalitarian tyrannies in the region ore Muslim. Especially Saudi Arabia.

People who think of themselves as pro-Human Rights have no business supporting the enemies of Israel and their allegiance to the so-called Palestinian Arabs is misplaced.

When Jews can live freely as Jews in their ancient homes in Medina and Yemen and Iraq and Iran and Syrian, then there will be peace.

Until then the peace process is a charade - and evil charade promoted by those who really would like Israel and Jews and the West just to go away.

WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE: FEMALE JOURNALIST TORTURED BY SAUDI GOVERNMENT

SHE COMMITTED A SIN IN ISLAM: SPEAKING FREELY: BBC:

A female journalist in Saudi Arabia has been sentenced to 60 lashes over a TV show in which a Saudi man described his extra-marital sex life.

The programme, made by Lebanese satellite network LBC, caused a huge scandal in conservative Saudi Arabia when it was shown several months ago.

The journalist is one of two female LBC employees who have been arrested.

Mazen Abdul Jawad, the Saudi man who talked about how he picked up Saudi women for sex, has already been jailed.

The original programme was part of a series called Red Lines, made by the popular LBC network.

Saudi owner

It examined taboos in the Arab world. Unmarried sex in Saudi Arabia amongst Saudis - rather than expatriates - is one of the biggest.

Mazen Abdul Jawad provoked outrage by describing his techniques for meeting and having sex with Saudi women.

He tearfully apologised but was jailed for five years and sentenced to 1,000 lashes.

Three of his friends who appeared on the show got two years each.

FAMOUS SWEDISH AUTHOR - ANTI-ZIONIST & LEFTIST - EXPOSED AS KGB SPY

STOCKHOLM NEWS: Famous journalist worked for the KGB

Journalist and writer Jan Guillou, one of Sweden’s most well known public figures, carried out assignments for the Soviet security agency KGB forty years ago, newspaper Expressen writes today, and refers to formerly classified files of the Swedish Security Service.

Guillou confirms that he got paid by the KGB for carrying out assignments but claims that the motive was to expose the work of KGB in Sweden. He denies to have carried out any actual spying.

The Security Service files on Jan Guillou, who was declassified after a request by Expressen, shows that he in 1967 was recruited as an agent by the KGB. During five years time did he then have secret meetings with the Soviet KGB-officer Jevgenij Gergel.

Guillou has made tens of million kronor on his best-seller novels about the fictitious secret agent Carl Hamilton, who often fought against the KGB and the military equivalent GRU. Guillou also recently published his professional memoir where he in detail describes his successful career. But his cooperation with the Soviet security agency is left out.

Jan Guillou admits that he wrote a memorandum about the Swedish Social Democratic Party’s stance towards ‘the Vietnam movement’ and got paid for this. But he denies to have carried out any espionage on the request of the KGB.

The Swedish Security Service was informed by Arne Lemberg, a colleague and close friend to Guillou, about the meetings with the KGB-officer. Lemberg also told the Swedish Security Service that Guillou, assigned by the KGB, had asked for his help to steal an phone book from the American Embassy.

“I believe that is made up”, Jan Guillou says to Expressen.

Arne Lemberg was shot dead by military troops during a journalist assignment in Uganda 1979.

Guillou recognise that he held contact with the KGB until 1972.

”We never did anything else than talked politics”, he says.

His contact person at the KGB, Jevgenij Ivanovitj Gergel, is, according to a spokesperson from the Russian embassy, deceased since many years.

According to a newly published book by Gunnar Ekberg, who has worked as an informer to the Swedish Security Service, was Gergel very interested in influent persons in left wing politics. In an opinion article on the media site Newsmill he also writes that one of the organisations where Guillou was active, ‘Demokratiska Folkfronten’, had close connections with the KGB.

“One of the reasons for KGB to have these connections was to plant disinformation and propaganda”, Ekberg writes.

Exposed secret intelligence unit

In 1973 Guillou, together with fellow journalist Peter Bratt, exposed ‘Informationsbyrån’ (Information Office, IB), a secret intelligence unit within the Swedish Armed Forces. Its main purpose was to gather information about communists and other left wing radicals.

The exposure of a secret intelligence unit, without official status, lead to a political scandal, the so called IB affair.

WIKI:

Today he is an influential independent commentator of current events, particularly the conflicts in the Middle East and miscellaneous domestic issues. In his columns in Sweden's leading tabloid newspaper Aftonbladet he tends to criticize the way the United States pursues its War on Terrorism, Israeli policy towards the Palestinians, the Swedish Security Service and the powers vested in "experts" in for instance court trials.

MORE:

During the 1960s and early 1970s, Guillou was associated with the Maoist Clarté association.^[6] He was also a member of the Communist Party of Sweden (formerly known as the Communist League Marxists-Leninists), a minor Maoist party active mainly during the 1970s, for six months until he was expelled from the party for refusing to pay the monthly member fee while he was living abroad. Today he describes himself as "socialist" only.^[1]

Guillou is known for his strong support of the Palestinians and he has over the years consistently criticized Israel in harsh terms. In 1976 he wrote: "Zionism is in its foundation racist because the state of Israel is built upon an apartheid system, exactly like South Africa".^[7] He has repeatedly taken the stance that Israel is an "apartheid state" ever since.^[8] In an article published in Svenska Dagbladet in 1977, Guillou wrote: "I'm an optimist, I believe that Israel will cease to exist prior to Armageddon".^[9]

Ever since the IB affair and the resulting prison sentence for espionage in 1973, Guillou has been a strong critic of the Swedish Security Service. According to Guillou, the Security Service has listed him as a terrorist, which has led to problems with security officials when visiting other countries.^[10]

In 1977 the book Irak – det nya Arabian ("Iraq – The New Arabia"), written by Guillou and his then wife Marina Stagh, was published. In the book, which deals with Iraq under the Baath Party, it's argued that "the European idea of Iraq as a particularly violent country is neither more or less a blend of political propaganda and racist fantasies" (pp. 91). According to the authors, "the Baath regime is clearly popular and among the most stable in the Arab World" (pp. 168–169).

UNBEFRIKINLIEVABLE: OBAMA ADVISOR MOGAHED STANDS BY HER PRO-SHARIA COMMENTS

OBAMA ADVISOR DALIA MOGAHED TODAY:

"I don't regret anything I said," she said. "My regret is that I went on the show."

ER, UM . . . WHAT DID SHE SAY?

THIS:

Barack Obama adviser says Sharia Law is misunderstood.

President Barack Obama's adviser on Muslim affairs, Dalia Mogahed, has provoked controversy by appearing on a British television show hosted by a member of an extremist group to talk about Sharia Law. Miss Mogahed, appointed to the President's Council on Faith-Based and Neighbourhood Partnerships, said the Western view of Sharia was "oversimplified" and the majority of women around the world associate it with "gender justice".

SO... IT WASN'T JUST THAT SHE APPEARED ON A TV SHOW WITH A TERRORIST, IT'S WHAT SHE SAID THAT MAKES HER UNACCEPTABLE AS AN ADVISOR TO THE POTUS.

• NOW THAT SHE HAS REITERATED THAT SHE BELIEVES WHAT SHE SAID, SHE MUST BE FIRED AT ONCE.

• THERE'S ONLY ONE REASON OBAMA WOULD KEEP HER: HE AGREES.

• IF OBAMA REALLY WAS A CRYPTO-MUSLIM WHO HATED AMERICA, WOULD HE BE DOING ANYTHING DIFFERENTLY?

• NOPE.

JUDGE DANIEL DAWSON IS A DHIMMI: HE ORDERED RIFQA BARY RETURNED TO OHIO

Initially, this now decidedly pretentious judge said he would wait until legal documents were recieved on citizenship status.

Now, apparently, none of this matters.

He's ordered her returned to Ohio, where she could end up facing a tragic death, to appease the gods of political correctness.

Clearly, Dawson is not fit for his job, and should be condemned for his cowardice.

It appears to me that Florida governor Charlie Crist has not made any attempt to help either.

ECO-NUTSIES: 350/1,000,000 = DANGEROUS CO2 LIMIT?

THAT'S 0.035% - OF A RELATIVELY POOR CONDUCTOR.

NEVERMIND THAT THO', THE ECO-NUTSIES & GLOBAL-WARMENING ALARMISTS THINK THAT 350/1,000,000 IS THE DANGER ZONE:

Campaigners against global warming have drawn on an arsenal of visually startling tactics over the years, from posing nude on a Swiss glacier to scaling smokestacks at coal-fired power plants.

As Saturday dawned, they tried something new with the goal of prodding countries to get serious about reaching an international climate accord: a synchronized burst of more than 4,300 demonstrations, from the Himalayas to the Great Barrier Reef, all centered on the number 350.

For some prominent climate scientists, that is the upper limit for heat-trapping carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, measured in parts per million. If the gas concentration exceeds that for long, they warn, the world can expect decades of disruptive climate patterns, rising sea levels, drought and famine.

The current concentration of carbon dioxide is 387 parts per million.

OKAY, LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT:

WE ARE CURRENTLY 10% OVER THE DANGER ZONE AND FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS IT HASN'T BEEN GETTING WARMER, AND SO FAR THIS WINTER IT'S DRAMATICALLY COOLER.



AND THE CO2 PPM HAS BEEN ABOVE 350P/1,000,000P THE WHOLE FREAKIN' TIME, RIGHT?

SO, ER... UM... I THINK THESE FREAKIN' ENVIRONAZIS SHOULD PSTFU.

WTF: BREAKING NEWS: OBAMA DECLARES H1N1 FLU NATIONAL EMERGENCY...

HMMMMMMMMMMM...

UPDATE:

The declaration will make it easier for U.S. medical facilities to handle a surge in flu patients by allowing the waiver of some requirements of Medicare, Medicaid and other federal health insurance programs as needed, the White House said in a statement.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday that H1N1 swine flu has become widespread in 46 of the 50 U.S. states, a level comparable to the peak of ordinary flu seasons but far earlier and with more waves of infection expected.

... H1N1 has killed more than 1,000 Americans and put more than 20,000 in the hospital in the United States since it emerged earlier this year, the CDC said. But health officials are quick to note that the actual number of cases cannot be measured.

... The new declaration clears the way for waivers of federal requirements that, for example, could prevent hospitals from establishing off-site, alternate care facilities that could help them deal with emergency department demands, the White House said.

GERMAN CONSERVATIVE COALITION CUTS TAXES

BBC:

German Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives have sealed a coalition deal with the Free Democrats (FDP) based on major tax cut plans.

The deal between the CDU/CSU and the pro-business FDP paves the way for the coalition to take office next week.

Income taxes will be slashed by 24bn euros ($36bn, £22bn) starting in 2011, according to the coalition agreement.

The parties agreed to unite after the September general election in which the FDP achieved its best-ever result.

OBAMA TRAPPED: THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS SCOOP RIEHL BY 3 MONTHS

RIEHL WORLD TODAY: (VIA DOUG):

Obama is all but completely trapped now. He came up through early traction with the Left of the Democrat Party. Despite valid protestations by the more centrist wing, represented by Hillary, the liberal elites in DC started endorsing him and that was all she wrote for Hillary.

... Facing early criticism from the Right, he tacked Left and home to his base. But in a center-Right America he doesn't have a prayer of delivering for them. He's already losing broad support simply because he did it....

The only option open to him is to tack back toward the center. Even that is risky for him, as he'll never be embraced by the more Right, even of the centrist-Right, nor will he be able to be truly faithful to anything he believes.

On top of all that, after all the anti-Bush rage, liberals who thought they finally had their day will be even more livid if he shifts, making him the guy who squandered it away. ...

Bottom-line, he's caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place. Trying to fight a war with Fox News as a distraction, one he thought might especially appease the Left, isn't likely to pay off.

T.A.B. 3 MONTHS AGO, " "OBAMA HAS PAINTED HIMSELF AND THE DEMOCRATS INTO A CORNER WITH OBAMACARE - AND AGAIN IN LAST WEEK:

Obama is actually in worse position than Dubya because Obama has painted himself in a corner whereas Dubya didn't.

After all: Dubya actually ran on being soft on illegal immigration and a compassionate conservative" (what us conservatives now know is code for LIBERAL!). SO Bush RAN as a moderate and governed as one - except on national security, where Dubya was a GREAT HAWK!

But Obama ran as a MODERATE while winking to his base so Obama is going to piss off the moderates and the base.

The moderates who voted Obama already feel TWICE BURNED: the TRILLION DOLLAR Porkulus was a total bust and it exposed Obama for what he was: a machine pol' who didn't even care if the bill had been read by Congressmen and didn't post it online for as long before signing it as he had promised to do during the election.

... He's missed every single opportunity to be post-partisan. And the moderates know this; they will not allow themselves to be burned THRICE.

BOTTOM-LINE - (barring the unforeseen): Obama will be at around 40% by November and the GOP will retake both bodies of Congress next year - when Obama will be at around 30%.

AND BEFORE THAT, LAST MONTH:

For painting himself and his fellow Democrats in to a corner over Obamacare, I have one word for Obama: JACKASS!
Just saying...

AND THAT'S ON THE RECORD, JACKASS!

I mean... really, if Obama and Rahm and Axelrod and Jarrett were really as smart as Matthews and the state-run media claim then why did they paint themselves into a corner?

NYTIMES: IS KARROUBI THE ONE?

EXCERPT:

A short midlevel cleric, with a neat white beard and a clergyman’s calm bearing, Mehdi Karroubi has watched from his home in Tehran in recent months as his aides have been arrested, his offices raided, his newspaper shut down. He himself has been threatened with arrest and, indirectly, the death penalty.

His response: bring it on.

Once a second-tier opposition figure operating in the shadow of Mir Hussein Moussavi, his fellow challenger in Iran’s discredited presidential election in June, Mr. Karroubi has emerged in recent months as the last and most defiant opponent of the country’s leadership.

I THINK THAT IF THE REBELLION SUCCEEDS THAT KARROUBI WILL BECOME THE NEW "SUPREME LEADER" AND MAKE IT A POSITION WHICH IS ADVISORY RATHER THAN DICTATORIAL.

IRAN FOOLS THEM AGAIN: WON'T ACCEPT DEAL; COUNTER-SUBMITS ANOTHER ONE

AP:

Iran on Friday failed to accept a U.N.-drafted plan for it to cut a stockpile of nuclear fuel that the West fears could be used for weapons, and instead said it wanted to buy nuclear fuel from abroad.

The deal drafted by the International Atomic Energy Authority (IAEA) has already been approved by the other parties -- the United States, Russia and France.

By offering a rival proposal, Iran appeared to be following a well-tested strategy of buying time to avert a threatened tightening of international sanctions.

Iran's reported counter-offer appeared at first glance to offer the West little.

THERE ARE ONLY TWO REASONS PEOPLE FALL FOR THIS IRANIAN CRAP: THEIR FREAKIN IDIOTS AND DUPES OR THEIR WILLING ALLIES.

THE SOONER SOMEONE BOMBS THEM THE BETTER.

THE LONGER WE WAIT, THE WORSE WILL BE THE OUTCOME.

UPDATE: even France isn't pleased:

France has warned that Iran is not responding positively to a proposed deal over its nuclear enrichment plans.

The International Atomic Energy Agency, a UN agency, had suggested exporting most of Iran's enriched uranium to Russia and France for further refining.

As the deadline neared for Iran to respond to the draft agreement, Iranian TV reported that Iran would prefer to buy uranium for its research reactor.

The French foreign minister said "matters are not very positive."

UPDATE #2:

Iran's state TV quoted an unnamed source close to the Iranian nuclear negotiating team as saying Iran wants to buy nuclear fuel it needs for a research reactor, rather than accept the UN proposed plan.

The official said Teheran has its own proposal on purchasing nuclear fuel and would wait for a response from the world powers.

While the TV report was not an outright rejection, it raised concerns since Iran has often used counterproposals as a way to draw out nuclear negotiations with the West.

On Thursday, Iran's deputy speaker of the parliament, Mohammad Reza Bahonar, dismissed the UN plan, saying Iran cannot accept US demands to ship its low enriched uranium abroad.

EARTHQUAKE IN TALIBANISTAN

NYT/AP:

A strong earthquake centered in the towering Hindu Kush mountains shook a wide area of eastern Afghanistan and Pakistan early Friday, swaying buildings in the Afghan and Pakistani capitals.

There were no initial reports of damage or casualties from the quake, which struck about 12:21 a.m. Afghan time (1951 GMT, 3:51 p.m. EDT Thursday).

However, the temblor was centered in a remote mountain area where communications are poor and reports of casualties take time to reach the capital.

The earthquake had a preliminary magnitude of 6.2 and was centered in the mountains about 167 miles (268 kilometers) northeast of Kabul and 140 miles (230 kilometers) west of Mingaora, Pakistan, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

THIS QUAKE WAS A BUNKER-BUSTER FROM GOD.

AYAAN HIRSI ALI DISCUSSES MORE ABOUT WOMEN'S RIGHTS AND ISLAM

The Los Angeles Times published an interview with Ayaan Hirsi Ali where she talks more about her views on the threat Islamofascism poses to the free world and women's rights:

When it comes to women in Africa, is the U.S. using too many of its values or too few?

There is too much apologizing for what freedom means. In Africa, you're told, "Oh, this is our custom -- polygamy is our custom, female genital mutilation is our custom, these are our values." Then you have the Americans and the Europeans being very shy and saying, "Oh, I'm really sorry, it's your custom."

Your own grandmother oversaw your genital mutilation when you were 5, even though your father opposed it.

That's why I keep hammering on principle. My grandmother was convinced she was doing something right. She was brainwashed. She was doing it out of love. She had done it to all her daughters; it was done to her, to her grandmother. She didn't know it was possible not to be, as she called it, "cleansed." Yes, education helps, but it had everything to do with the conviction that what she was doing was right.

This is a prime example of how some women are complicit in their own victimization, as Phyllis Chesler has often spoken about.

I've asked other feminists this question: Why are women's rights always the ones up for negotiation?

Yes, isn't that interesting? Women are mainly oppressed by their own fathers, their own brothers, their own mothers-in-law, their grandmothers, so it's the most intimate kind of oppression. Another thing: Western feminism still defines the white man as the oppressor, but right now it's the brown man, the black man, the yellow man. When you tell them, "Stop oppressing your women," they'll tell you, "Don't impose your culture on me." It would have been fantastic if, when [President] Obama went to Cairo, he [had said], "We have taught the white man that bigotry is bad and he has given it up, at least most of it. Now bigotry is committed in the name of the black man, the brown man, the yellow man, whatever color."

Do you make a distinction between mainstream and radical Islam?

I refuse to do that because one gives birth to the other. You are born into mainstream Islam. You are taught: Do not question the prophet; everything in the Koran is true. And then the radicals come and they expand on that, they build on that. So it is up to so-called mainstream Islam to tackle the radical element. [Mainstream Muslims] have to question the infallibility of the prophet Muhammad. They have to quit teaching children and young people that everything in the Koran is true and has to be taken seriously.

You can see it in the Christian world. You have pockets of very radical Christians who refuse to change. But most Christians have decided to reform, to introduce new ways of looking at [the Bible] and to allow freedom of thought and speech. So if people move away from the radical ideas, they're not killed, they're not beheaded.

You know what western feminism might not define as oppressor among white men? Leftists. But then doesn't that figure that for left-wing "feminists", they may not dare to turn against their "own"?

ATTEMPTED HIJACKING OF TURKEY-TO-CAIRO FLIGHT

HAARETZ:

Security guards thwarted an attempted hijacking Wednesday on an EgyptAir flight from Istanbul to Cairo by overpowering a man who threatened crew with a knife, a security official for the airline said.

A Sudanese man used a knife from the in-flight meal to threaten crew members after the plane left Turkish airspace and demanded that the flight be diverted to Jerusalem, the official said.

Guards on the flight were able to detain the man and no one was hurt, he said.

The flight landed safely at Cairo airport. The man was arrested and was being questioned by state security, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not an official spokesman.

The Boeing aircraft was carrying 87 passengers, a Cairo police official said. He identified the suspect as Mohammed Hamad Nourain, 26, and said he used a passport with a phony name to board the flight.

The man told flight attendants he wanted to liberate Jerusalem, the police official said.

QUESTION: WHAT IS HALF BLACK AND HALF WHITE, HAS BIG EARS AND HAS A TOUGH TIME WRITING?

ANSWER: BARACK OBAMA.

Here's rare home photo of Barry:


I think the fact that Obama is a lemur proves he was probably born in Africa...

I know it's stupid; it's just that there's something about that lemur's blank look - sorta like the teleprompter just broke and he doesn't know what to say...

IMPROVING HEALTHCARE RESULTS AND COSTS IS SIMPLE: ENACT TORT REFORM

TORT REFORM HAS BEEN PROVEN EFFECTIVE:

CC/NRO:

A recent survey of doctors published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that 93 percent of physicians admit to practicing defensive medicine.

A 2008 survey by the Massachusetts Medical Society found that about 25 percent of medical procedures are defensive in nature.

Defensive medicine wastes patients’ and doctors’ time and costs $191 billion annually, according to the best scholarly research.

Such waste drives up the cost of medical care and the price of health insurance.

In fact, by making health insurance more expensive, defensive medicine adds at least 3.4 million Americans to the rolls of the uninsured, and reduced productivity and annual output by more than $41 billion in 2008.

To ease the burdens of malpractice lawsuits, jury awards should be capped for impossible-to-quantify “pain and suffering,” so-called non-economic damages.

According to my study “Tort Law Tally,” capping awards in med-mal lawsuits cuts losses an average of 39 percent and annual insurance premiums by 13 percent.

But the most important benefit from caps is better access to care.

States with caps have 12 percent more physicians per capita than states without caps, according to a study published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Non-economic-damage caps were an integral part of the malpractice reforms adopted in Missouri in 2005. Skyrocketing malpractice premiums had caused shortages of specialists, and patients had problems getting treatment. Thanks to the reforms, med-mal claims in Missouri are at a 30-year low. Average payouts are $50,000 lower than they were in 2005, before the caps went into effect.

Texas capped non-economic damages in 2003 as part of a broader tort-reform package, and since then, more than 16,500 doctors have flooded into Texas, many to previously underserved rural and minority communities. Texas has jumped six spots in the American Medical Association’s ranking of doctors per capita. Nearly 430,000 Texans have health insurance today as a result of the medical liability reforms, says the Perryman Group.

• ALL WE NEED TO DO TO IMPROVE HEALTHCARE RESULTS AND COSTS IS TO ENACT TORT REFORM.

• TO DO TORT RFORM ALL WE GOTTA DO IS VOTE OUT THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND IN THE GOP.

IT'S THAT SIMPLE.

ISLAMIST TURKEY GETTING CLOSER TO IRAN AND THE SUDAN

ON THE HEELS OF TURKEY DISSING ISRAEL AND NATO AND MAKING AN ALLIANCE WITH SYRIA:

TZ:

Iran believes Ankara and Tehran can be key actors in a new Middle East just as France and Germany played a similar role in the formation of the European Union, Mohsen Rezaee, the secretary of the Expediency Discernment Council of Iran, told a group of Turkish journalists on Wednesday.

He said he is in Turkey to discuss this new Middle East with President Abdullah Gül and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu. Furthermore, his visit is to include a meeting with Trade and Industry Minister Nihat Ergün to improve trade relations between the two countries.

Rezaee said the Greater Middle East Project, a term coined by former US President George W. Bush and involving the democratization and modernization of the Middle East, was defeated because it aimed at conflict in a time when peace and cooperation must prevail.

“The Middle East needs a new order based on justice and fairness. I am happy to see that our Turkish friends are thinking in the same way. Cooperation between the two countries and other international organizations, such as the Economic Cooperation Organization [ECO], has to become strengthened,” Rezaee said.

TZ: Sudan lifting visa requirements for Turkish citizens to boost trade

Following Syria and Qatar, Sudan is also planning to abolish visa requirements for all Turkish citizens in a bid to further boost trade relations, Agriculture Minister Mehmet Mehdi Eker said on Monday, adding that their aim is to raise the trade volume between Turkey and Sudan to $1 billion within the next three to four years.

Eker attended the Turkey-Sudan Trade and Investment Forum, organized by the Turkish Confederation of Businessmen and Industrialists (TUSKON) in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum on Monday. TUSKON launched a trade campaign there with 105 Turkish businessmen from 94 companies.

Speaking at the forum, Eker said Sudan could be a gateway to Africa for Turkey's economic expansion. More than 2,000 Turkish businessmen and 80 Turkish companies are active in Sudan, with investments of around $115 million, Eker said. With a population of 40 million, Sudan has the most fertile agricultural lands and the largest herds in Africa.

REPAYMENT OF TARP FUNDS IN THE DUMPER

According to this article in the Washington Times, the taxpayers are going to get the shaft when it comes to getting their money back -- never mind all the politicians' promises at the time the TARP funds were allocated.

But there's something else too:

AIG has missed three TARP dividend payments to Treasury as of Sept. 30. If the company misses a fourth payment Nov. 1, Treasury will have the right to elect directors to the AIG board.

NOW, ISLAMIST TURKEY MOVES CLOSER TO RUSSIA!

A WEEK AFTER BANNING ISRAEL FROM NATO MANEUVERS, AND SIGNING A MILITARY TREATY WITH SYRIAN, TURKEY HAS MADE A DEAL WITH RUSSIA:

Russia to conduct geological exploration in Turkey’s Black Sea

Turkey has decided to allow geological exploration in its Black Sea economic zone as part of the South Stream project, Russia’s Itar-Tass news agency claimed on Tuesday.

According to the agency’s report, President Abdullah Gül had a telephone conversation with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Monday. “In accordance with the earlier understandings reached at the top and high levels, the Turkish government has made all the necessary decisions to issue permissions for geological exploration in Turkey’s exclusive economic zone in the Black Sea for the sake of the South Stream gas pipeline project,” Gül was reported as saying to Medvedev. In response to Gül, Medvedev reportedly said the decision will facilitate the further strengthening of the strategic relations between Russia and Turkey.

MORE HERE: Ankara moves toward ‘privileged partnership’ with Moscow

Turkey, which has already announced its intention to hold a joint cabinet meeting with Russia similar to those recently held with Iraq and Syria, hopes to hold such a meeting with its Black Sea neighbor in early December.

“We have proposed a similar step [to the joint cabinet meetings with Syria and Iraq] with Russia, but there is nothing being implemented at the moment,” Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said last week before departing for a visit to Iraq, during which he and the nine ministers accompanying him held a joint cabinet meeting with the Iraqi government. Erdoğan and his Iraqi counterpart, Nouri al-Maliki, co-chaired the meeting of the Turkish-Iraqi High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council.

Earlier last week, a ministerial-level meeting of the Turkish-Syrian High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council was held in the Syrian city of Aleppo and the Turkish city of Gaziantep. At the time, Erdoğan said an agreement to initiate a similar mechanism with Russia was signed when Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin visited Ankara in August, when Turkey and Russia signed about 20 agreements on cooperation in a number of areas, including, most notably, energy. “We will put into force a similar mechanism with Russia.”

The timing of the meeting planned to be held with Russia has been found particularly interesting as it comes just before a December summit of the European Council. Observers suggest that the planned meeting with Russia is a message to European Union members who offer a “privileged partnership” to Turkey instead of full EU membership. Turkey will show how a privileged partnership is constituted through the meeting with Russia, the same observers argue. Turkey firmly rejects any option that falls short of full EU membership.

SCIENTISTS DISCOVER WAY TO KILL TOUGHEST CANCER CELLS

PHYSORG:

Cancer cells fueled by the mutant KRAS oncogene, which makes them notoriously difficult to treat, can be killed by blocking a more vulnerable genetic partner of KRAS, report scientists at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT.

... The laboratory results, published today online by the journal Nature in advance of print publication, demonstrate a potential advance against many major tumors that because they harbor the mutant KRAS cancer gene, are highly aggressive and respond poorly to treatment. By targeting the second, more easily inhibited “co-dependent” gene, TBK, the strategy bypasses the so far unfruitful head-on assault against the highly resistant KRAS gene.

... The mutant KRAS oncogene acts like a broken switch, allowing runaway cell growth in nearly all pancreatic tumors, about 25 percent of colorectal, and 25 to 30 percent of lung cancers. When physicians detect KRAS mutations in a cancer, it usually predicts the patient won’t respond well to standard therapies.

“If you have a mutant KRAS, we can’t use many of our newest drugs,” noted Hahn.

For many years, researchers were hopeful that drugs could be designed to shut down KRAS, but this has proven virtually impossible. However, its co-dependent partner, TBK1, encodes a protein kinase — a type of molecular switch for which many inhibitors already exist. TBK1 is not a cancer-causing gene, but in KRAS-driven tumors, TBK1 activity enables cancer cells to survive that otherwise would be destroyed by the body because they are abnormal and dangerous.

AWESOME.

NEROBAMA HOSTS CONCERT AFTER CONCERT AS THE NATION BURNS

AP:

Michelle and Barack Obama sat one table over from J. Lo and Marc Anthony, and all four of them were rocking in their seats as Sheila E. shook the house — well, really the tent.

The latest installment of the White House music series was too big for the East Room, so a high-wattage assortment of Latin musicians sent pulsating, can't-help-but-bob-along rhythms tumbling out of a giant tent on the mansion's South Lawn.

As it happens, music of all sorts — rock, jazz, country, classical — has been busting out of the White House all year long.

...

The Obamas' musical push started on Day One, when the Wynton Marsalis Quintet played for a private inaugural celebration party of 100 at the White House.

A month later, the White House brought in Earth, Wind and Fire to entertain visiting governors. And days later, the Obamas hosted an East Room tribute to Stevie Wonder that featured Tony Bennett, Martina McBride and Wonder himself. The president called it "the most accomplished Stevie Wonder cover band in history."

Since then, the lineup has zigzagged all over the musical spectrum.

MICHELLE AND BARRY ARE PARTYING THEIR ASSES OFF ON OUR DIME AS THE NATION GOES TO HELL, UNEMPLOYMENT SOARS, THE DEFICITS ZOOM AND MCCHRYSTAL WAITS FOR AN ANSWER.

UN BE FUHR EEKIN LEEVABLE.

ISRAELI AMBASSADOR TO US WON'T ATTEND J STREET

JPOST:

Israel's Ambassador to the US Michael Oren has decided not to attend the J Street conference being held next week, the Israeli embassy said Tuesday.

Instead a lower-level member of the embassy staff will be sent to watch and report on the event.

"In response to the question about J Street's invitation to participate in its conference, the Embassy of Israel has been privately communicating its concerns over certain policies of the organization that may impair the interests of Israel," the embassy said in a statement. "Accordingly, the embassy will send an observer to the conference and will follow its proceedings with interest."

MOST JEWISH CONGRESSMEN AND MOST ISRAELIS SEE J STREET FOR WHAT IT IS, SOI WHY DON'T MORE USA JEWS!?!?!?!

WHY DOES ANY USA JEW SUPPORT OBAMA!?

CLIMATE CONFERENCE UPDATE 1

A little story that illustrates how the "Green" movement attempts to amalgamate religious metaphor and ritual to its inherently totalitarian philosophy: It has now been proposed that at 15:00 on the 13th of December church bells across Denmark be rung 350 times as alarm, hope and action during the COP15 climate conference. Of course this great idea for a stunt was not welcomed by all. But hey - they have established a Green Church, that diseminates biblical Green theology. Do the climate activists really believe a conference of 8000 bureaucrats will save the world? They would be better off praying! Stay tuned for more on the COP15...

State Sovereignty

On November 3, Virginians will go to the polls to elect various state officials, including a new state attorney general.

Ken Cuccinelli, the Republican candidate for attorney general of Virginia, has a rather unique vision for the office.

From this article in the October 19, 2009 edition of the Washington Post:

Cuccinelli's bid puts focus on a job often off the radar
Va. attorney general candidate says there's power in the post

Republican Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II, a state senator from Fairfax County, hopes to be an entirely different attorney general than what Virginians have grown accustomed to.

...He is ready to sue the federal government if it restricts emissions or expands union powers.

Audio of Internet Czar Susan Crawford Advocating State Control of Internet and Newspapers

Holdren Dictates to FCC: Networks Must Broadcast Crazy Science Propaganda

First, why is there a science czar? Second, if there has to be a science czar, why does he have to be a complete wackjob who believes in crazy non-science? Third, why is he dictating anything to the FCC? Fourth, is this even legal?

I could come up with a dozen more questions, but the answer to all of them, ultimately, is that none of this should be taking place.

(CNSNews.com) – John P. Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, advocated having the Federal Communications Commission force radio and television stations to surrender free time for advertisements calling attention to what he called “the population-resource-environment crisis.”

He cited, as examples of the type of advertising he was talking about, ads produced by Planned Parenthood, the Sierra Club, and Zero Population Growth (ZPG).

Holdren made his argument for using the FCC to advance his vision for population control and environmentalism in the 1977 book, Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment. Holdren co-wrote the book with renowned population-control advocates Paul R. Ehrlich and Anne H. Ehrlich.

“In the United States a great step could be taken merely by requiring that both radio and television assign some of their commercial time to short public-service ‘spots’ calling attention to the problems of population, resources, and environment,” Holdren, Ehrlich and Ehrlich wrote.

[...]

They argue that programming in developing countries “ought to be informational, even if presented as entertainment,” and ought to give people “information on the need for population control and the ways it might be achieved.”

That's called "colonialism." Neither we Americans nor those in the developing world are his minions to be lied to, controlled, exxploited, or eradicated.

Definitely read the whole thing.

This is, of course, the man who believes in forced sterilizations and poisoning the drinking water to control the population.

The mere belief in a population problem is, of course, just about the height of insanity. Not one shred of evidence exists for it, but it has been a well-established fact since 1961 that population decline is a major, major problem.

If he's worried about resources, I've got the solution right here: the free market. People eat too much meat, which is very inefficient in terms of energy. If people paid $30 for that hamburger that actually costs $30, instead of paying $4 because of socialist farm subsidies, that problem (which I'm not even sure is really a problem anyway, particularly with the rapid worldwide decline in population) would instantly disappear as the amount of food grain on the market would skyrocket.

You could not make this stuff up if you tried.

So they're controlling the both the networks' programming and advertising now, which is going over really well.

WANT CHEAPER ENERGY AND A BOOMING ECONOMY? THEN WE SHOULD JUST DRILL HERE NOW!

BBC:

The small, remote town of Sidney, Montana, is true to its cowboy roots - this is ranching country and outside one bar amidst the many pick-up trucks I noticed one with a huge set of bull horns stuck jauntily to the cab.

A nodding-donkey oil pump, Montana

But Sidney has another reason to feel bullish too: as America agonises over its future energy choices, Sidney is revelling in an oil boom.

The town's mayor, Bret Smelser, took me for a drive through the town and across the flat farmland that stretches off to the horizon in every direction to see the changes oil has brought.

Inside Sidney - population about 5,000 - the changes leap to the eye.

There's a new water-slide, for example, plenty of evidence of heavy investment in local schools and a startling number of slot-machine casinos whose operators presumably calculate that the townspeople and workers from the oilfields have money to burn.

There is an urban myth that it has also meant that Sidney has the highest-paid pizza delivery guy in North America, but we'll come back to that.

Mayor Smelser sums up the situation so far simply: "Oil has been good for us."

Shale reserves

On the landscape beyond the town limits, the change is less spectacular but equally impressive.

Dotted around the farmland are hundreds of nodding-donkey oil wells which are strangely reminiscent of the kind of pumps you'd have seen in action during oil booms in Texas, California or Oklahoma a century ago.

The similarity is deceptive. The oil boom up on the Northern Great Plains is based on dramatic changes in drilling technology. Oil deposits beyond the reach of even the most modern pumps and drills 20 years ago are now viable.

Sidney - and plenty of other small towns like it on the Great Plains of North Dakota and Montana - sit on top of the shale reserves of the Bakken Formation. They were first discovered and mapped in the 1950s but back then there was no way of reaching them.

Now, new technologies are changing the definition of what is, and is not, a recoverable oil deposit.
