American activist Ken O’Keefe is on record admitting that he had met Ismail Haniya, the Hamas leader, and said that he supported the organisation’s “right to violent resistance”.
O’Keefe also admitted last week that he helped to subdue two Israeli commandos after leaders of the Turkish Islamic IHH charity enacted “a plan to defend the boat.”
This weekend Israeli authorities reported that five of the pro-Palestinian activists, including Ken O’Keefe, aboard the Mavi Marmara have links to the Hamas and Islamic Jihad movements.
Today American leftist, nutcase and suspected terror Ken O’Keefe defended his actions plotting against and attacking Israeli soldiers on the Mari Marmara.
February 26, 2003 Live from Baghdad Diary of a Human Shield
by KEN O’KEEFE Gulf War I Veteran
Sunday 16 February
Finally, after a long delay in Rome and a few passport hiccups in Turkey, I arrived in Baghdad yesterday on a flight from Jordan. It’s been a long and winding road, but we human shields who started out from London on 25 January are all in Baghdad now and doing what we set out to do.
Er, um... Saddam committed genocide with WMD against the Kurds and destroyed the marshes and sent millions of Iraqis to their deaths and tortured hundreds of thousands more.
Yet in this psycho jihado-leftst O'Keefe’s mind, “Hamas and Saddam = good % USA and Israel - evil.”
This is very twisted, and he is very twisted; a psychopath.
NOTE: In the video he claims Gaza is DESPERATE for aid. NONSENSE. Besides, Israel would not just allow but take ALL aid into via land after inspection.
On or about Jan. 1, 2011, federal, state and local tax rates are scheduled to rise quite sharply. President George W. Bush's tax cuts expire on that date, meaning that the highest federal personal income tax rate will go 39.6% from 35%, the highest federal dividend tax rate pops up to 39.6% from 15%, the capital gains tax rate to 20% from 15%, and the estate tax rate to 55% from zero. Lots and lots of other changes will also occur as a result of the sunset provision in the Bush tax cuts.
Tax rates have been and will be raised on income earned from off-shore investments. Payroll taxes are already scheduled to rise in 2013 and the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) will be digging deeper and deeper into middle-income taxpayers. And there's always the celebrated tax increase on Cadillac health care plans. State and local tax rates are also going up in 2011 as they did in 2010. Tax rate increases next year are everywhere.
... When we pass the tax boundary of Jan. 1, 2011, my best guess is that the train goes off the tracks and we get our worst nightmare of a severe "double dip" recession.
ONLY ONE THING CAN SAVE US FROM ANOTHER GREAT CRASH: VOTING GOP THIS NOVEMBER.
A GOP CONGRESS WILL CUT SPENDING AND TAXES. AND SAVE US FROM THIS OBAMINABLE POTUS.
Hassan Iynasi (born 1982), a Turkish citizen and activist in a Turkish charity organization, is known of providing financial support to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Terror organization.]
Hussein Urosh, a Turkish citizen and activist in the IHH organization, was on his way to the Gaza Strip in order to assist in smuggling Al-Qaeda operatives via Turkey into the Strip.
Ahmad Umimon (born 1959), is a French citizen of Moroccan origin, and an operative of the Hamas Terrorist organization.
THAT MEANS ERDOGAN AND HIS AKP - A SELF-DESCRIBED ISLAMIST PARTY - ARE ALLIES OF AL QAEDA.
That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.
The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.
AS FAR AS TURKEY GOES - FOR OLD TIMES SAKE, LET'S START WITH THE LATTER.
Just as Jews around the country were preparing to gather to pray for Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu, word of his death arrived.
Earlier in the afternoon, it was reported that his medical condition had severely deteriorated, and that prayers were sought.
Rabbi Eliyahu, 81, was the spiritual leader of much of the religious-Zionist sector. Hospitalized for nearly a year in Shaarei Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, his condition was downgraded today to "critical,” and not for the first time. Family members were called to his bedside, and were by his side when he passed away.
[...]
Rabbi Shalom Dov Wolpe of the Land of Israel Task Force said, “One of the great leaders of the People of Israel has been lost. He fought bravely for the integrity of the Land of Israel, and the love of Israel beat in his heart. The loss of righteous people is as terrible as the burning of the House of our G-d; who can replace him? All of those loyal to the Torah of Israel and the Land of Israel must strengthen themselves and continue in his path. We express our condolences to his son and follower in his path, Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu.”
[...]
Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu was born in 1929 in the Old City of Jerusalem; his mother was a granddaughter of the famed Ben Ish Chai. He served as Israel’s Chief Sephardic Rabbi - the Rishon LeTzion – from 1983 until 1993, together with the late Rabbi Avraham Shapira, and the two continued for years afterwards to lead the national-religious public in matters of Jewish Law and thought. He authored several works on both.
Rabbi Eliyahu was close to many leading rabbis, including the Chazon Ish, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and Rabbi Yitzhak Nissim, and was the personal rabbi of imprisoned Jonathan Pollard. He headed the Keren Moreshet network of Torah core groups that settled in various cities throughout the country.
It's a real shame that another very honorable member of the rabbinical leadership of Israel is now gone.
The rally against the planned mosque near Ground Zero, whose head honcho of an imam has connections with the flotilla monstrosity, has taken place in NYC, and at least 8000 people came to attend. Jihad Watch and One Jerusalem have more.
Dr. Babu Suseelan, a Hindu human rights activist told the crowd, "We Hindus and Sikhs have a story to tell. Islamists killed 80 million of us since 700 AD and they continue to kill us. They destroyed 3000 glorious temples and built mosques over them. In the last 60 years, Islamists in Pakistan wiped out infidel Hindu and Sikh populations. At one time we represented 25 percent of the population and now we are less that 1 percent.
“Know this: The 9/11 mosque is not a symbol of understanding. It is a symbol of conquest. Imam Rauf is a master of Taqiyya, which is the use of deception to forward the agenda of Islam. What Faisal Shahzad failed to accomplish in Times Square on May 1st with overt jihad, Imam Rauf will succeed with stealth jihad."
Taqiyya is something to take careful note about, otherwise, it could destroy us all.
Update 2: on the other hand, here's a short but quite insulting article from the NY Daily News that tries to downplay the rally by implying it was only 1000 people who came when it was much more than that, and even throws in a swipe at the Tea Party:
But the proposed mosque has also drawn criticism, including a blast from a Tea Party bigwig who said it would serve as a tribute to the 9/11 terrorists "for the worship of the terrorists' monkey-god."
"Bigwig"? That's rather insulting, I'd say. However, the monkey-god part is right, if it's Mohammed he was talking about.
Iran has announced that they will also send aid ships to Gaza - thru the Red Crescent. Iran has also offered Naval escort to Gaza bound aid ships. Is Iran attempting to distract the world from implementing sanctions against its nuclear arms program - or is this sort of brinksmanship a sign that Iran already has a few completed atomic devices? Pallywood meets Cecille B. Demille...act 2...stay tuned.
Iran has successfully derailed all efforts at stopping their nuke program - for 8 years.
They've employed many means: IEDS and sectarian war in Iraq to pin us down, instructing their stooges in Hizballah and Hamas to start wars with Israel.
When it looked like they might be toppled Obama came to their rescue.
WHY?
He's on their side. The anti-Israel NPT agreement demanding Israel give up its nuclear deterrent is another example of Obama siding with Iran and Turkey.
The recent Brazil-Turkey effort and the anti-Israel NPT effort and the Gaza Flotilla efforts are all part of Global Jihad and Iran's effort to stall until they have enough uranium for 3 bombs: one to test and two more...
Israel has to strike BEFORE the test.
The closer we get to that time the more desperate will become Iran's efforts to prevent any sanctions.
Their offer to escort the next Gaza Flotilla is proof that they are MUCH closer than anyone has believed.
They may even have 3 already.
WHY?
Well, a military confrontation with Israel in the Mediterranean would provide Iran with an excuse to nuke Israel - even before testing.
Does Obama really think that he can appease Turkey and Iran by bashing Israel?
I donlt think he's that dumb - but he might be.
THIS ONLY MAKES THE JIHADISTS MORE BLOODTHIRSTY.
Does Obama think he should delay dealing with Iran in order to deal with Gaza?
Is he dumb enough to take the bait?
I don;t think so.
That's why I think Obama is part of it - as a dupe or a crypto-muslim. It's the Jihad-leftist alliance: they all think Israel is a colonial outpost that doesn't deserve to exist.
The leftists think global jihad will vanish if Israel vanishes.
The jihadists are exploiting this. Obama might be, too.
Recent Israeli governments, particularly the one led by prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Mr. Cordesman argued, have ignored the national security concerns of its biggest benefactor, the United States, and instead have taken steps that damage American interests abroad.
The charge that Israel damages USA interests and the West is The New Big lie.
The only interests which Israel damages are the interests of appeasers and dupes and the jihado-leftist alliance.
The people who believe that Israel is the problem are either the Chamberlains of our century, or our Benedict Arnolds - and ALL are antisemites ---
YES: antisemites: by definition, if you criticize israel for doing things you allow gentiles to do then you are an antisemite. Egypt is part of the Gaza blockade, yet they get ZERO criticism, even though they too have a wall with Gaza. The Turks would not allow Kurdish terrorists to rearm. Russians fight Chechen terrorists more brutally than Israelis fight Hamas, yet they get very little criticism. The USA kills more civilians collaterally in Pakistan and Afghanistan than Israel does in Gaza or Lebanon. There's been a thousand times more killing in Africa and Sri Lanka and India, but they're not targeted for international criticism.
ONLY THE JEWS. That's antisemitism.
But it's more than antisemitism.
It's dangerous appeasement - at best:
Describing Israel as a problem to the USA and the west is like describing the Czechs as a problem for the West in 1939.
The problem then was Hitler, not the Czechs who ONLY wanted to keep the Sudetenland as part of Czechoslovakia.
The true problem now is global jihad and the axis of evil: Iran, Syrian, North Korea, Hamas, Hizballah - with direct aid from Russia and China, and indirect aid from the jihado-leftist alliance - of which the Obama administration is a part.
Here's why Obama can only be accurately described as part of the jihado-leftist alliance:
Obama calls the successful Egypto-Israeli blockade of the jihadists "unsustainable" -
and calls for a new weapons-interdiction process like the one in southern Lebanon based on UNSCR 1559
but UNSCR 1559 has failed utterly to take arms away from Hizballah
and has failed to prevent new and more weaponry from entering southern Lebanon and getting into the hands of Hizballah.
As a result, Hizballah now has missiles from Iran - that they got via Syria.
Obama and the jihado-leftist alliance are not so dumb or misinformed as to not know this; therefore, they must seek the same regime of interdiction in order to rearm Hamas (who run Gaza as an international extortion racket!)
Neither is having a Russo-Iranian port in Mediterranean.
Neither is having a nuclear Iran.
And Obama is enabling all three.
Obama was NOT elected to follow these policies: when Obama ran for office he said he would give Iran until January.
It is now June, and Iran's nuke program has only steadily grown, as have Iran's air defenses - courtesy of Russia.
Yet instead of getting increasingly tough on Iran - and Hizballah and Hamas - Obama has gotten increasingly tough on Israel:
Obama called the blockade "unsustainable" - (the fact that the 5 other ships in last week's Flotilla were taken peacefully, and that yesterday the Rachel Corrie was escorted to Ashdod peacefully proves Obama is wrong: that the blockade is sustainable)
Obama called for Israel to give up its nuclear deterrence
Obama has consistently treated Netanyahu shabbily and has made sure this has been seen around the world.
Obama might as well working for the enemy - for the AKP and the IHH and their allies in Hamas and Al Qaeda
YES: Obama might as well be working for those who attacked us on 9/11.
Yes: actually, Obama's policies are threatening and damaging the USA and the West.
Repeat: actually, Obama's policies are threatening and damaging the USA and the West.
Repeat: actually, Obama's policies are threatening and damaging the USA and the West.
We can stop Obama and the jihado-leftist alliance this November: vote GOP.
JEWS WHO VOTE DEMOCRAT THIS NOVEMBER ARE JUDENRAT.
From his party's office in the basement of a Stockholm parking garage, Jimmie Akesson is running for Parliament, preaching sharp cuts in immigration and calling Islam the greatest threat to Swedish society.
That message until now has gained little traction in Sweden, but polls are predicting gains for Akesson's far-right Sweden Democrats that could give them a king-maker role in national elections this year if neither mainstream bloc wins an outright majority.
... Opinion polls show the Sweden Democrats could get 4 to 6 percent of votes in the September election, enough to win 15-20 seats in the 349-member Riksdag and potentially throw Swedish politics into disarray.
... In some cities immigrants are nearly 40 percent of the population, and in certain neighborhoods nearly 90 percent.
... The Sweden Democrats say immigration has become an economic burden, draining the welfare system and channeling jobs to newcomers who work for lower wages.
Akesson says he fears Sweden is adapting to the Muslim minority instead of the other way around and has written of Islam's impact on Swedish society as ''our biggest foreign threat since World War II.''
He mentions cases of public schools that have stopped serving pork and no longer celebrate the end of the school year in church.
Akesson also points to attacks against artist Lars Vilks, who drew the prophet Muhammad with a dog's body. Last month furious protesters chanting ''God is Great'' in Arabic disrupted Vilks' guest lecture at Uppsala University and vandals tossed firebombs at his home.
I HOPE THEY DO VERY WELL AT THE POLLS. EITHER THE SWEDES FIGHT BACK NOW; OR THEY'LL BOW DOWN TO JIHAD LATER.
AND LATER IS PROBABLY SOONER THAN MOST PEOPLE THINK!
Some Australians woke up this morning to discover a strange spiral light illuminating the Aussie skies.
Like the Norway spiral we saw a few weeks ago making headlines, this Australian sighting of spiral lights is starting to make waves, and springing up some conspiracy theories.
So it appears that a Falcon 9 rocket could be responsible for this.
Can the explanation of a rocket gone awry suffice the general public’s quest for answers?
I’ve read many people talking about aliens being the cause of this, or that some time/space portal is opening up. And they are generally scared.
I’ll tell you this much, I rather have the aliens opening up time portals and stuff than knowing that our government is firing off inadequate missiles.
The violence that broke out when Israeli commandos stormed aboard a Gaza flotilla last week chilled American relations with a key Muslim ally, Turkey.
The Gaza fight also makes it more difficult for America to rally a coalition that includes Arab and Muslim states against Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
(1) THEY SAY IT AS IF THE BLOCKADE WAS A LONE/ROGUE ISRAELI OPERATION - IT IS NOT: IT IS A JOINT OPERATION OF EGYPT AND ISRAEL, WITH ISRAEL RUNNING THE NAVAL PORTION.
(2) THEY SAY IT AS IF ISRAEL PROVOKED THE FLOTILLA RAID AND VIOLENCE, BUT ISRAEL DID NOT PROVOKE THE VIOLENCE. ONLY THE IHHH/TURK SHIP WAS VIOLENT; THE OTHER 5 WERE ESCORTED TO ASHODOD WITHOUT VIOLENCE. AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE RACHEL CORRIE WAS ESCORTED TO ASHDOD WITHOUT VIOLENCE.
(3) THEY SAY IT AS IF TURKEY WAS A RELIABLE ALLY - WHEN THE IRAQ WAR AND THEIR RECENT OVERTURE TO IRAN PROVE THEY ARE NOT
(4) THEY SAY IT AS IF WHAT THE OBAMA LED MUSLIM/ARAB COALITION AGAINST IRAN WAS GONNA DO ANYTHING EFFECTIVE. ALL THEY'RE GONNA DO IS TRY TO PASS A UN RESOLUTION WHICH WON;LT BE EFFECTIVE BECAUSE RUSSIA AND CHINA AND TURKEY WILL OPPOSE ANY ONE WHICH MIGHT BE STRONG ENOUGH TO BE EFFECTIVE.
FOR OBAMA TO SUUPORT TURKEY AND THE IHH AND HAMAS IS UNBEFREEEEEEKINLIEVABLE!
OBAMA MUST BE ANTI-SEMITIC AND JIHADO-PHILIC - NO SURPRISE HERE:
THIS MAKES OBAMA JUST LIKE:
HIS DECADES OLD REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT
AND HIS DECADES OLD NEIGHBOR AND OCCASSIONAL BABY-SITTER RASHID KHALID
AND HIS DECADES OLD FRIEND AND CO-AUTHOR BILL AYERS!
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT: BY AIDING ISLAMIST TURKEY AND THE IHH AND HAMAS, OBAMA AIDING THE ENEMIES OF THE WEST AND PROVES THAT HE IS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THE FREE WORLD.
The New York Post has a most disturbing report involving Feisal Abdul Rauf, the imam behind the Cordoba mosque planned near the WTC's former standing, revealing that he's part of a group funding another group that helped organize the flotilla to Gaza (Hat tip: Hot Air):
The imam behind a proposed mosque near Ground Zero is a prominent member of a group that helped sponsor the pro-Palestinian activists who clashed violently with Israeli commandos at sea this week.
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is a key figure in Malaysian-based Perdana Global Peace Organization, according to its Website.
Perdana is the single biggest donor ($366,000) so far to the Free Gaza Movement, a key organizer of the six-ship flotilla that tried to break Israel’s blockade of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip Monday.
Reuters has confirmed that the Free Gaza Movement, whose supporters include William Ayers, that it's biggest donation came from Perdana. I'd say there's a lot more reason now to protest this mosque atrocity that's being built. A man who would help fund barbarians like what Rauf did cannot and should not be viewed as legitimate.
President Obama refused to side with Israel after the attack and told Prime Minister Netanyahu to go back to Israel out of concern that the Israeli Prime Minister would use the White House as his backdrop while discussing the flotilla ambush.
The White House said on Friday Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip was unsustainable and urged a Gaza aid vessel sent by pro-Palestinian activists to divert to an Israeli port to reduce the risk of violence.
“We are working urgently with Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and other international partners to develop new procedures for delivering more goods and assistance to Gaza,” said Mike Hammer, spokesman for the White House National Security Council.
“The current arrangements are unsustainable and must be changed. For now, we call on all parties to join us in encouraging responsible decisions by all sides to avoid any unnecessary confrontations,” Hammer said in a statement.
OBAMA HAS ANNOUNCED THIS ON THE DAY THE IDF ESCORTED THE "RACHEL CORRIE" TO ASHDOD WITHOUT INCIDENT - PROVING THAT THE BLOCKADE (A JOINT ISRAELI-EGYPT EFFORT!) IS VERY SUSTAINABLE.
THIS ANNOUNCEMENT COMES ON THE HEALS OF:
OBAMA DEPLAYING ANY ACTION AGAINST IRAN - AGAIN DAMMIT; HEPROMISED US A DEADLINE OF JANUARY WHEN HE RAN FUHCRYINOUTTEARS!).
AND OBAMA SIGNING ONTO AN NPT AGREEMENT DEMANDING ISRAEL GIVCE UP ITS NUCLEAR DETERRENT.
(ASIDE: OBAMA DOES ALL THIS IN THE NAME OF PEACE - JUST AS THE NEW TESTAMENT (SO-CALLED) SAID THE ANTI-CHRIST WOULD DO.)
OBAMA IS EITHER PART OF THE JIHADO-LEFTIST AXIS - ALONG WITH TURKEY, IRAN, BRAZIL AND RUSSIA - OR HE IS BEING INTIMIDATED BY TURKEY.
EITHER WAY, HIS CONTINUED PRESIDENCY IS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THE FREE WORLD.
WE CAN BRIDLE HIS ANTI-WESTERN POLICIES BY TAKING BACK CONGRESS THIS NOVEMBER.
The newspaper said that “as part of the open conflict between Turkey and Israel following the massacre against the ‘freedom sail’ to Gaza and the protest sparked in the world, Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan is considering going to Gaza himself in order to break the blockade imposed on the Strip.”…
According to the report, Erdogan told the American administration he was planning to ask his navy to escort another aid flotilla,
IT'S NO ACCIDENT THIS COMES RIGHT AFTER TURKEY CAME TO IRAN'S RESCUE.
TURKEY IS HELPING HAMAS AND HIZBALLAH AND IRAN.
BY HELPING IRAN, TURKEY IS UNDERMINING THE EU, NATO AND ISRAEL AND THE USA.
IT'S NO COINCIDENCE THAT ERDOGAN'S TURKEY DENIED THE USA USE OF TURKEY DURING THE IRAQ WEAR INVASION.
NOW, BY THREATENING TO SEND THE TURKISH NAVY TO ACCOMPANY THE NEXT FLOTILLA, ERDOGAN IS THREATENING ISRAEL WITH NOT ONLY A WAR WITH TURKEY, BUT ONE WITH NATO IF TURKISH NAVY ENGAGES THE IDF AND THEN INVOKES NATO'S ARTICLE 5.
(I BELIEVE THIS HAS BEEN TURKLEY'S AND IRAN'S STRATEGY FROM THE START AND HAVE POSTED THIS FOR WEEKS.)
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO CONCLUDE THAT TURKEY UNDER ERDOGAN IS PART OF THE JIHADIST AXIS; THEREFORE:
TURKEY SHOULD BE EXPELLED FROM NATO AT ONCE.
KEEPING THEM IN NATO MEANS OUR ENEMIES ARE PRIVY TO OUR DEFENSES.
LEFTISTS AND JIHADISTS SAY GAZA ISN'T FREE BECAUSE OF THE ISRAELI BLOCKADE. BUT THE BLOCKADE IS A JOINT OPERATION OF EGYPT AND ISRAEL, AND IT ONLY KEEPS OUT WEAPONRY.
ALL FOOD AND HUMANITARIAN AID GETS INTO GAZA.
IF GAZANS AREN'T FREE IT'S BECAUSE THEY LIVE UNDER JIHADO-FASCISM.
THE BIGGEST INDUSTRY IN GAZA IS EXTORTION: THEY THREATEN GLOBAL VIOLENCE AND GENOCIDE AGAINST ISRAEL AND IN RETURN THEY GET BILLIONS IN AID.
THE JIHADO-LEFTIST AXIS HAS TRIED TO SNEAK WEAPONS INTO GAZA FOR THREE YEARS.
THE BLOCKADE STOPS THEM - AND THUS SAVES ISRAEL AND EGYPT FROM INCREASINGLY VIOLENT JIHADO-TERROR.
LAST WEEK'S ATTEMPT WITH 6 SHIPS INCLUDED ONE FILLED WITH MORE THAN JUST LEFTISTS AND DUPES; IT HAD MANY VIOLENT JIHADISTS, TOO - AND IT WAS SPONSORED BY THE AVOWEDLY ISLAMIST GOVERNMENT OF TURKEY.
YESTERDAY, ANOTHER JIHADO-LEFTIST SHIP ATTEMPTED TO BREAK THE BLOCKADE; THEY NAMED IT "THE RACHEL CORRIE" - AFTER A LEFTIST WHO SUPPORTED THE ARAB/ISLAMIC GENOCIDE AGAINST ISRAEL - RACHEL CORRIE.
THE LEFTIST-JIHADIST AXIS LIKES TO PROMOTE HER AS A MARTYR FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE. A SWEETIE AND A SAINT:
BUT THIS IS WHO SHE REALLY WAS:
THE REAL RACHEL CORRIE AND "THE RACHEL CORRIE" WERE NOT REALLY ABOUT JUSTICE OR FREEDOM OR PEACE.
THEY WERE REALLY ALL ABOUT TRYING TO DESTROY ISRAEL.
Imagine - by John Lennon is almost an international anthem for the left - IT PUSHES ALL THEIR BUTTONS:
ATHEISM:
Imagine there's no Heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today
TRANS-NATIONALISM:
Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace
MARXIST COMMUNISM AND POSTMODERNIST ANTI-CONSUMERISM:
Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world
IT MAKES ME REALIZE: Leftism and postmodernism are based on an appeal to IMAGINATION, not reason, not reality.
Imagination is what shapes their rhetoric. It's how they campaign and debate.
Obama and his campaign and rhetoric and governing style epitomize the left's appeal to imagination and not reason.
In all of human history, appeasement has never worked - neither has redistribution or a command economy - but that hasn't stopped leftists and Obama from IMAGINING it will work this time.
This is simply not rational. EINSTEIN (attributed):
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Leftists imagine that this next time, it will be different.
The utopian urge is an urge for an IMAGINARY world that's IMPOSSIBLE to actually create.
When leftists like Obama orate, they essentially make a direct appeal to the listeners IMAGINATION: "Imagine a world at peace, fed, healthy, with brotherhood for all. We are for that. Our policies will deliver that. Conservatives oppose that."
It's insane. Conservatives believe that humans and human society are IMPERFECTABLE. That we each deserve our God-given universal and unalienable rights. And that the best "most fairest" way of achieving that is democracy and the free market. In other words, democracy and the free market suck; they're just the best compared to everything else.
Leftists IMAGINE otherwise.
All leftists are DREAMERS who haven't awakened - who choose to remain in an adolescent dreamworld. A teen dreamworld in which the permissive nanny gives you an allowance and cleans up after you and nurses you no matter how you misbehave. And you don't have to ever grow up.
The leftist state - the nannystate - is a dream.
And when they get power THEIR dream becomes the world's NIGHTMARE.
HERE'S A NEW AND IMPROVED VERSION:
Imagine there's no leftism It's easy if you try No commies among us Only truth and no BIG LIE
Imagine there's no Islam It isn't hard to do No hate for jihadis to kill or die for And no terror too
Imagine no taxes I wonder if you can No need for government programs And no 5 year plan.
You may say I'm a teabagger Or a zionist racist corprate neocon bitch I hope someday you'll grow up And the world will be free and rich.
Obama's signature definately shows he was Arabic taught.
Not knowing the copybook form for Arabic I am somewhat at a disadvantage but again there is threading which slurs the forms.
Any threading is an indication of not wanting to be pinned down, to escape responsibility when things go wrong, to hide the personal self, and of course speed of thought and action.
He could be very creative in his dealings with others.
JEREMIAH WRIGHT DID NOT BAPTIZE OBAMA INTO A CHRISTIAN, BUT INTO AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN.
OBAMA'S LEFTISM AND HIS ISLAMOPHILIA MAKE HIM AN ENEMY OF THE FREE WORLD.
More than 500 chefs gathered at the White House today to join Michelle Obama's newest effort to fight childhood obesity, Chefs Move To Schools.
The chefs, including national stars such as Rachael Ray, Tom Colicchio and Cat Cora, and an army of unknowns who work in restaurants, food banks and culinary schools, hailed from 37 states. Each has accepted a White House mission to adopt a school in his or her community and work with parents, teachers and cafeteria workers to educate children about food and nutrition. That might include developing healthful recipes for cafeterias, offering cooking lessons or helping a school to plant a garden.
"You are all at the heart of this initiative because if anyone understands nutrition and food, it's the folks sitting here in their whites today," Obama said, referring to the traditional chef uniform. "You know more about food than almost anyone – other than the grandmas – and you've got the visibility and the enthusiasm to match that knowledge."
[...]
"You'd never think of implementing a salad bar as guerrilla warfare. But that's what it is. Kid by kid. School by school," said [New York Public Schools Executive Chef Jorge] Collazo.
...Chefs said they were undeterred by the hard work ahead....
Whatever happened to "Too many cooks spoil the broth"?
..."What we are feeding our children is an outrage. We should be marching with picket signs and pitchforks in revolution," said Cathal Armstrong of Restaurant Eve in Alexandria....
[...]
In the months since [the January 2010] meeting, the chefs have taken the first steps to make real the lofty goals of Michelle Obama's Let's Move! initiative, which aims to end childhood obesity within a generation. [Chefs] Gray and Mendelsohn began teaching cooking classes to hundreds of students and parents...
What? They can't open a cookbook on their own? Sheesh!
From cradle to grave is upon us!
Continuing now with an excerpt from the WaPo article:
At the very least, the combination of chefs and reality-style makeovers is smart marketing by the White House. But if the nearly 1,000 chefs who have signed on to the program catch the same fever as their Washington counterparts, the hope is that the program could spark a real "Food Revolution," Jamie Oliver-style. A thousand forks of light, if you will.
"A thousand forks of light"? Consciously or unconsciously trying to make a connection to this 1988 speech given by George H.W. Bush, I guess.
I love baseball! I come by that love of baseball naturally, I suppose. My father, born in 1911 and denizen of sandlot baseball, was actually offered a job as pitcher for the New York Yankees by a pro-ball scout way back when. Dad turned down the offer as he was such a homebody and the part-time caregiver for his own father.
Anyway, when I saw the video below over at Right Truth, I knew that I just had to post it:
For the record, the original classic poem "Casey at the Bat" by Ernest Lawrence Thayer:
The Outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mudville nine that day: The score stood four to two, with but one inning more to play. And then when Cooney died at first, and Barrows did the same, A sickly silence fell upon the patrons of the game.
A straggling few got up to go in deep despair. The rest Clung to that hope which springs eternal in the human breast; They thought, if only Casey could get but a whack at that - We'd put up even money, now, with Casey at the bat.
But Flynn preceded Casey, as did also Jimmy Blake, And the former was a lulu and the latter was a cake; So upon that stricken multitude grim melancholy sat, For there seemed but little chance of Casey's getting to the bat.
But Flynn let drive a single, to the wonderment of all, And Blake, the much despis-ed, tore the cover off the ball; And when the dust had lifted, and the men saw what had occurred, There was Jimmy safe at second and Flynn a-hugging third.
Then from 5,000 throats and more there rose a lusty yell; It rumbled through the valley, it rattled in the dell; It knocked upon the mountain and recoiled upon the flat, For Casey, mighty Casey, was advancing to the bat.
There was ease in Casey's manner as he stepped into his place; There was pride in Casey's bearing and a smile on Casey's face. And when, responding to the cheers, he lightly doffed his hat, No stranger in the crowd could doubt 'twas Casey at the bat.
Ten thousand eyes were on him as he rubbed his hands with dirt; Five thousand tongues applauded when he wiped them on his shirt. Then while the writhing pitcher ground the ball into his hip, Defiance gleamed in Casey's eye, a sneer curled Casey's lip.
And now the leather-covered sphere came hurtling through the air, And Casey stood a-watching it in haughty grandeur there. Close by the sturdy batsman the ball unheeded sped- "That ain't my style," said Casey. "Strike one," the umpire said.
From the benches, black with people, there went up a muffled roar, Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and distant shore. "Kill him! Kill the umpire!" shouted someone on the stand; And its likely they'd a-killed him had not Casey raised his hand.
With a smile of Christian charity great Casey's visage shone; He stilled the rising tumult; he bade the game go on; He signaled to the pitcher, and once more the spheroid flew; But Casey still ignored it, and the umpire said, "Strike two."
"Fraud!" cried the maddened thousands, and echo answered fraud; But one scornful look from Casey and the audience was awed. They saw his face grow stern and cold, they saw his muscles strain, And they knew that Casey wouldn't let that ball go by again.
The sneer is gone from Casey's lip, his teeth are clenched in hate; He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate. And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go, And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey's blow.
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright; The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light, And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout; But there is no joy in Mudville - mighty Casey has struck out.
BRUSSELS (AFP) – Belgian police have arrested a suspect after a man pulled a gun during a Brussels court hearing and shot dead a woman judge and court clerk before fleeing, the public prosecutor's office said Friday.
"A suspect has been questioned and identified," Jean-Jacques Meilleur, spokesman for the Brussels public prosecutor, told AFP after Thursday's double murder.
A judicial source said that the suspect was a 47-year-old Iranian man who had been identified by witnesses of the courtroom drama that shook Belgium. He reportedly said he had been motivated by revenge.
The prosecutor's office would hold a press conference at 0900 GMT.
Police approached the man in a Brussels park on Thursday evening in order to check his identity, but he pulled out a gun and began shooting in the air, the source said.
The man was wounded by police, arrested, and later identified as a suspect in the killings.
On Thursday morning a man, who had been present throughout the hearing, "pulled out a firearm, a revolver, and fired at the judge and her clerk, killing both," said Jean-Jacques Meilleur, spokesman for the Brussels public prosecutor.
The tribunal had been hearing a family and neighbour dispute case when the shooting happened. The tribunal is close to the imposing Palace of Justice in the heart of the Belgian capital.
The assailant "was briefly pursued by one of the lawyers present but he managed to flee on foot down one of the roads in the area," Meilleur added. A major search was launched for the gunman.
The victims were 60-year-old magistrate Isabelle Brandon and her court clerk Andre Bellemans.
A minute's silence was observed by judges and lawyers in the Palace of Justice later in honour of their deceased colleagues, with some members of the judiciary visibly shocked at the events.
Security in judicial buildings and prisons in Belgium has long been a source of concern, with many escapes in recent years.
Last August, masked men helped three suspects escape the Palace of Justice, taking prison guards hostage in the process.
Around the same time there was a spectacular escape from a prison in the north with the use of a hijacked helicopter.
Just days ahead of snap legislative elections on June 13, the justice minister said he would stop campaigning and called for a debate on security, while ruling out placing security cameras in all courtrooms.
The ending line gives reason to wonder if Belgium doesn't have any proper security for their courtrooms, and I'm not just talking about camera tech. What about the metal detectors and guards who actually search people before entering?
This article also obscures the problems with jihadism in Belgium, which likely played a role in this tragic case, as well as the several other crimes hinted at here. Sadly, it shouldn't surprise that the AFP would refuse to get in deeper.
Hamas’s security forces on Monday and Tuesday raided the offices of several non-governmental organizations in the Gaza Strip and confiscated equipment and furniture, drawing sharp condemnations from human rights groups.
The sources said the raids were carried out by agents belonging to Hamas’s Internal Security apparatus without court permission.
Hamas spokesmen in the Gaza Strip on Thursday refused to comment on the raids.
After conducting a thorough search of the offices of the organizations, the Hamas security agents confiscated files, documents, computers, fax machines and other equipment.
The agents also informed the managers and workers of the organizations of the Hamas government’s decision to close them down indefinitely.
The Gaza-based Al-Mezan Center for Human Rights expressed outrage over the raids and called on the Hamas government to open an investigation.
... The UN’s special coordinator for the Middle East peace process, Robert Serry, expressed deep concern over the raids and closure of the NGO offices.
“This targeting of NGOs, including UN partner organizations, is unacceptable, violating accepted norms of a free society and harming the Palestinian people,” he said. “The de facto [Hamas] authorities must cease such repressive steps and allow the re-opening of these civil society institutions without delay.”
NOBODY WHO ACCEPTS THE REALITY THAT HAMAS IS A TERRORIST GROUP IS SURPRISED BY THESE ACTIONS.
THE ONLY FOLKS WHO ARE SURPRISED ARE THE DUPES, DHIMMIS AND LEFTISTS WHO THINK THEY CAN WORK WITH THE JIHADISTS BECAUSE THEIR BOTH ANTI-WEST.
TURKEY AND THE IHH AND HAMAS ARE FEELING EMBOLDENED BECAUSE IT SEEMS RIGHT NOW THAT THE FLOTILLAGANDA WORKED AND THAT ISRAEL HAS TAKEN THE BRUNT OF THE BAD PR.
APPEASEMENT ALWAYS ONLY ENCOURAGES MORE BAD BEHAVIOR.
THE WEST'S WEAK RESPONSE TO THE FLOTILLA RAID EMBOLDENS THE JIHADIST AND IRAN AND NORTH KOREA.
Muslim Brotherhood says it will back ElBaradei campaign
Egypt's biggest opposition group has said it will back the former UN atomic watchdog chief Mohamed ElBaradei's political change campaign, reports say.
The Muslim Brotherhood failed to win any seats in elections to the upper legislative house on Wednesday.
It alleged the vote for the Shura Council had been rigged.
Mr ElBaradei has launched a campaign for political change in Egypt, but has not officially declared he will contest elections next year.
The Muslim Brotherhood said it would help Mr ElBaradei collect signatures in his efforts to gather a million names to demand changes to the constitution and emergency laws, news agency Reuters said.
IT TOOK VIOLENCE - AND APPEASEMENT FROM LIBERAL JIMMY CARTER - FOR THE JIHAD TO TAKEOVER THE SHAH'S IRAN IN 1979.
IN TURKEY, THE AKP DID IT BY STEALTH AT ELECTIONS AND IN JUDICIAL AND MILITARY PURGES OVER 8 YEARS.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD WILL TRY THE AKP ROUTE... WITH THE HELP OF EL BARADEI, THE FELLA WHO RAN THE IAEA AND LET NORTH KOREA AND IRAN AND LIBYA AND SYRIA ( THE OLD AXIS OF EVIL! THE NEW ONE INCLUDES TURKEY!) GET AWAY WITH "MURDER".
THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD KNOWS THIS MAN WELL.
AND ANYONE WHO CONTINUES TO THINK EL BARADEI IS PRO-WEST OUGHT TO HAVE HIS HEAD EXAMINED.
WE BELIEVE THIS REVEALS THAT TURKEY WANTS TO DO WHAT THE USA DID AFTER 9/11: INVOKE NATO ARTICLE 5, REQUIRING THAT NATO ACT TO DEFEND TURKEY AGAINST ISRAEL.
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration considers Israel’s blockade of Gaza to be untenable and plans to press for another approach to ensure Israel’s security while allowing more supplies into the impoverished Palestinian area, senior American officials said Wednesday.
The officials say that Israel’s deadly attack on a flotilla trying to break the siege and the resulting international condemnation create a new opportunity to push for increased engagement with the Palestinian Authority and a less harsh policy toward Gaza.
“There is no question that we need a new approach to Gaza,” said one official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the policy shift is still in the early stages. He was reflecting a broadly held view in the upper reaches of the administration.
Israel would insist that any approach take into account three factors: Israel’s security; the need to prevent any benefit to Hamas, the Islamist rulers of Gaza; and the four-year-old captivity of an Israeli soldier held by Hamas, Staff Sgt. Gilad Shalit.
Since the botched raid that killed nine activists on Monday, the Israeli government has said that the blockade was necessary to protect Israel against the infiltration into Gaza of weapons and fighters sponsored by Iran.
THE RAID WASN'T BOTCHED.
THE IDF SUCCEEDED IN SEIZING ALL THE SHIPS.
ONE SHIP HAD INTENDED VIOLENCE TO GET DAMAGING PROPAGANDA AGAINST ISRAEL - AND OBAMA AND THE MSM ARE DOING THEIR PART TO MAKE SURE THIS IS THE CASE.
IF OBAMA LIKED ISRAEL AND HATED THE JIHADIST ENEMY AND REALLY WANT GLOBAL JIHAD DEFEATED, THEN HE WOULD BE PUTTING PRESSURE ON TURKEY AND THEIR ALLIANCE WITH IRAN AND THE IHH AND THRU THE IHH AL QAEDA.
BY FAILING TO PRESSURE TURKEY OBAMA IS IN EFFECT AIDING THE ENEMY.NOT JUST HAMAS, BUT IRAN AND AL QAEDA.
OBAMA IS GUILTY OF TREASON AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS ALL TRAITORS ARE.
One of the largest collections of Sir Winston Churchill memorabilia, including an unsmoked cigar, has sold for nearly £600,000 at auction.
The items were sold by US publishing magnate, Steve Forbes, who amassed them over three decades.
... Forbes who gathered the collection, is chief executive of Forbes Inc and the grandson of Forbes magazine founder BC Forbes.
He said he was parting with the collection because his family did not share his passion for it.
SADLY - FOR THE FREE WORLD - IT SEEMS THE PASSION FOR CHURCHILL AND RECOGNITION OF HIS ENORMOUS CONTRIBUTIONS TO WESTERN CIVILIZATION IS BEING FORGOTTEN AND DELIBERATELY BLOTTED OUT BY THE POSTMODERN ANTI-WEST MULTI-CULTI LEFT.
The UN Security Council will visit Afghanistan later this month to evaluate the current situation on the ground, the council president announced Wednesday.
... the exact focus of the trip was still being discussed, but "the main proposal will be to have an evaluation of the current situation in political, economic, social terms and also on security matters."
... Last year, the council also authorized the mission to strengthen and expand its presence throughout the country to promote good governance and the rule of law.
... UN diplomats indicated it would likely begin around June 19. The mission will be led by Turkey's UN Ambassador Ertugrul Apakan, whose country has primary responsibility for Afghan matters in the Security Council.
I PREDICT THAT THE TURKISH ISLAMISTS WILL CALL FOR POWER-SHARING WITH THE TALIBAN AND AN END TO US MILITARY INTERVENTION.
A young Dutchman previously arrested in the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway is the prime suspect in the weekend murder of a Peruvian woman, police said Wednesday.
Joran van der Sloot is being sought for Sunday's killing of 21-year-old Stephany Flores in a Lima hotel, police chief Gen. Cesar Guardia told a news conference.
He said the suspect crossed into Chile the next day by bus.
The Dutch government said Interpol has issued an international arrest warrant for van der Sloot.
This woman in Peru would be alive if they'd have arrested and convicted this disgusting slime ball.
At the present rate, Turkey has about as much business in NATO as Greece does in the EU.
... The problem with both the EU and NATO is that, while there is always much gala celebration about who gets in and under what particular conditions, there is almost no attention given to the circumstances under which a member gets out of either organization.
Er, um... Saddam committed genocide with WMD against the Kurds and destroyed the marshes and sent millions of Iraqis to their deaths and tortured hundreds of thousands more.
Yet in this psycho jihado-leftst O'Keefe’s mind, “Hamas and Saddam = good % USA and Israel - evil.”
This is very twisted, and he is very twisted; a psychopath.
NOTE: In the video he claims Gaza is DESPERATE for aid. NONSENSE. Besides, Israel would not just allow but take ALL aid into via land after inspection.
