AUSSIE COURT PREVENTS FORCED MARRIAGE OF 16 YEAR OLD MUSLIM GIRL

A 16-year-old girl has been placed on an airport watchlist in Australia after going to court to prevent her parents sending her to Lebanon for a forced marriage.

The Federal Magistrates' Court ruled that the parents of the teenager, who cannot be named, could not remove or attempt to remove their daughter from the country to marry the young man she has met only once.

Magistrate Joe Harman also ordered that the parents not assault, molest, harass, threaten or otherwise intimidate the girl or take her out of school.

In his judgement, delivered in April but revealed by Australian press on Friday, Harman said the girl's application to prevent her parents from sending her away for the marriage was one that was becoming increasingly common.

YES: IT'S BECOMING MORE COMMON IN THE WEST AS MUSLIMS IN THE WEST BECOME MORE NUMEROUS.

FORCED MARRIAGE IS A HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION - ONE ISLAM MAKES ROUTINELY.

BECAUSE IT VIOLATE UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHTS, WE NEED TO CRACK DOWN ON IT EVERYWHERE - EVEN WHEN THERE'S NO INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT.

WHY DO "ENVIRONMENTAL" GROUPS ALWAYS SUE USA COMPANIES?

THE ENVIRO-NUTSIES ARE AT IT AGAIN: TRYING TO SHUT DOWN USA DOMESTIC OIL EXPLORATION.

THEY NEVER STOP.

WHY DON'T THEY EVER SUE RUSSIA OR BRAZIL OR CHINA?

COULD IT BE THAT THEY ARE REALLY ANTI-AMERICAN AN NOT ANTI-"FOSSIL FUEL"?

YES.

HEALTH CARE COSTS HAVEN'T GONE UP HIGHER THAN INFLATION

One of the biggest lies most people believe it that health care costs have gone up higher than inflation over the last few decades.

This is total unadulterated bullshit.

Health care quality has gone up steadily over the last few years - and last few decades, and the better care we can get now is more expensive than the inferior care we paid less for a few decades ago.

If you want to pay 1960's prices for health care you can - just settle for 1960's health care!

Look at it this way:

A compact car cost about $2000 in 1975. A sub-compact car cost $15,000 today.

Does that mean there has been 750% inflation?

Nope. The sub-compact you get today is better than the 1975 compact - in fact, it's better than the top of the line sports-car was in 1975. Faster to 60MPH, quicker to stop and safer in an accident, with better heat, A/C and stereo. And GPS.

So comparing only costs between cars of 1975 and 2011 is... idiotic.

So it comparing the cost of medicine in 1975 to the cost of medicine in 2011.

This is one BASIC reason health care insurance has gone up steadily over the last few decades.

I think people ought to stop a lot of their whining about rising heath care costs.

I think the real issue is that people ought to pay for their own health care - especially when so many health care issues are lifestyle related.

We need to transition to personal health accounts and away from Medicare and Medicaid. We shouldn't want career politicians and their lobbyist pals to make health decisions for us or for the system as a whole.

And we need to find a way to make illegal immigrants pay for their care - cuz it's costing us billions.

THE "OCCUPY WALL STREET" JERKS ARE COSTING NYC TAXPAYERS A MINT!

ANOTHER 400 POMO DUPES ARRESTED.

BOOKING THEM AND FORCING THE COPS TO GET OVERTIME FOR THIS CRAP - WHEN THEY SHOULD BE LOOKING OUT FOR A POSSIBLE AWLAKI RETALIATION IS BAD FOR OUR CITY'S FINANCES AND OUR SAFETY.

AND ANOTHER THING:

IF THE USA IS SO AWFUL, THEN WHY DON'T THEY ALL MOVE TO A SOCIALIST COUNTRY LIKE.... GREECE OR CUBA OR NORTH KOREA OR ZIMBABWE - WHERE EVERYTHING IS HUNKY-DORY?!

COULD IT BE THAT THEY HAVE NO FREAKIN IDEA WHAT WALL STREET DOES AND HOW FREE-MARKETS CREATE PROSPERITY OR HOW AWFUL SOCIALISM IS AND HOW IT SLOWS GROWTH AND INCREASES POVERTY?

YES.

CALLING HIS WIFE MICHELLE "MICHAEL".

UNREAL.

THIS TALL HANDSOME BARITONE WITH THE WARM SMILE, AND AN UNBELIEVABLE ABILITY TO LIE - BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA SOETERO - IS ALSO ONE OF THE DUMBEST POMO MOFO'S ON THE PLANET.

I MEAN DUMBER THAN A TORN BAG OF RUSTY HAMMERS.

CALLING HIS WIFE MICHAEL!?!?!? HAS HE NO FREAKIN IDEA AT ALL OF HAT HE IS READING WHEN HE READS A SPEECH!?!?

YUP. NONE AT ALL.

THE ONLY FOLKS DUMBER THAN OBAMA ARE THE FOLKS WHO STILL THINK HE'S WORTHY OF THE OFFICE.

FRANK MILLER'S HOLY TERROR DEBUTS, AND SOME LEFTISTS DETEST IT

Frank Miller's bold new venture focusing on jihadism has come out, and as expected, there are some on the left who more or less despise him for that. And if there's any leftist review I find that's really biased, it's this one at leftist AOL-owned Comics Alliance, which begins by making the mistake of using the headline, "A Propaganda Comic That Fights Faith Instead of Evil". And it doesn't get any better from there. Next problem:

Partway through the story, Miller realized that he'd "taken Batman as far as he can go," and moved the story outside the DC Comics Universe.

I'm afraid that's distorting. Miller argued with Paul Levitz earlier that he'd taken the Masked Manhunter as far as he could think of working on him, and when Levitz basically put the kibosh on the project, Miller decided to change it to an indie comic.

Holy Terror is tough for me to wrap my head around, because propaganda is a tricky beast. It requires convincing everyone of the righteousness of your country's cause, turning your enemy into something other than you, and simplifying matters to an almost absurd level. In World War II, propaganda was easy. There was a clear enemy, notably the Nazis, who had committed clearly hateful crimes. And even then, the otherizing aspect of propaganda gave rise to a metric ton of racism and bigotry, which was nonetheless seen as justified or even acceptable in the face of the atrocities that had been committed.

So, a propaganda piece about Al-Qaeda, an entity that is fractured and spread all over the world, is a strange and possibly (probably) terrible thing. The conversation about terrorism and Al-Qaeda in the United States has too often drifted into a critique, or worse, of Islam itself. How do you define your villains as being Al-Qaeda first and Muslims second? Their beliefs are an integral part of their motivations and actions, but they don't represent Islam as a whole.

Did it ever occur to them that they happen to be part of the problem today - that is, making an effort to obscure today's enemy, Islam? And what's this about their actions not representing Islam "as a whole"? Challenging question: is this not a hateful crime too, which "prophet" Muhammed committed against the Qurayza Jews in Medina during 627 AD? As told:

In AD 627, Muhammad committed an atrocity against the last remaining major tribe of Jews in Medina: the Qurayza.

He beheaded the men and the pubescent boys and enslaved the women and children. In doing this, he wiped an entire tribe "off the map" to use the language of the President of Iran, recently.

The purpose of this article is full disclosure and straightforward analysis about early Islam. How and why did this atrocity unfold?

Which can be read about at the link. And, what about the "Suras" Muhammed and his army of darkness concocted, which include as many as 164 verses of violence? Including:

...make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them. Sura 8:012

So just what's their little game, saying that their actions don't represent the so-called religion as a whole?

The Comics Alliance writer goes on to use the following to defend his positions:

I personally benefitted greatly from the guidance or teachings of Muslim men and women as I grew up, so I'm always wary of conversations that are framed as "Us versus Them," where "Us" is a nebulous notion of "Americans" and "Them" equates to "Muslims," because that is a false divide.

If he received guidance from Islamists, how come he hasn't provided any info from the Koran itself or the history of its violent founder? Including one of Muhammed's most horrific acts, which was to marry a 6 year old girl, Aisha, whose own parents practically betrayed her to him. He also took other women like Safiyah, Rayhanah and Juwariyah as slaves and concubines. Was the Comics Alliance writer ever provided guidance about history like that?

The constant bashing of Islam as a throwback to the Dark Ages is stupid, ugly, and tiresome. It's also factually incorrect. While Europe was in the midst of the so-called Dark Ages, the Arab world was in the middle of what was essentially a golden age of enlightenment. They made vital discoveries and advances in science, math, medicine, art, architecture, and several other areas that had a profound impact on the rest of human civilization.

And the use of moral relativism is stupid and tiresome. And using a Wikipedia page as his source? I'm sorry, but even I usually ponder that Wikipedia, as a site anyone can edit and is far from the most honest source of info one can find, isn't exactly worth using as a backup. And as Robert Spencer once said, he finds the claim that the Islamic world has any achievements exaggerated at best.

Then, Comics Alliance says that:

Al-Qaeda is treated in the text as something that is representative of Islam, rather than something that is a twisted, rotted off-shoot. Conversely, the Ku Klux Klan are terrorists are nominally Christian, but they're never portrayed as representative of Christianity or whites.

Well duh, that's because in Christianity and Judaism, you don't have the kind of vile verses that examples like I've provided from the Koran above happens to contain. Biggest problem with the Comics Alliance article then is how they can't seem to get it into their heads that there's such a thing as good and bad religions, the latter which could even describe Scientology. Is that not possible for them to consider? I guess not.

Let's also note that Miller made it clear earlier that he was going to be as politically incorrect as possible, and clearly, he was. And I appreciate him for that. Without guts - which the fools now running DC certainly don't have - it wouldn't be possible to make a meat-and-potatoes story, and I'm glad to see Miller's shown some. I hope this'll do well, and I'll certainly be trying to buy a copy. Too bad some on the left just can't appreciate Miller's courage, or recognize that he's got what to go by in addressing the subject.

Also, as this blog notes, the graphic novel is dedicated to Theo van Gogh, the Dutch filmmaker who was murdered for making a film with Ayaan Hirsi Ali about misogyny in the Muslim world. That's another thing to appreciate from Miller: he's let a victim of Islamofascism know he won't be forgotten.

Update: and coming the week that terrorists like Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan were taken out by the US military, this could be a very good time for Holy Terror to debut.

AMERICA'S EXTREMELY GENEROUS HEALTHCARE SYSTEM: One way illegal immigration is costing us billions

NYTIMES:

ON Jan. 4, 2010, Raymond Fok was changing trains on his way to kidney dialysis treatment when he collapsed on the Canal Street subway platform. Emergency medical technicians examined him and took him by ambulance to the nearest hospital, New York Downtown, near the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge. Workers in the emergency room recorded that Mr. Fok’s speech was slurred and that he was lurching from side to side when he walked.

“He was a very typical hemorrhagic stroke,” said Jeffrey Menkes, the hospital’s president. From the emergency room, the hospital admitted Mr. Fok to the intensive-care unit on the third floor, where workers tried to find out more about their patient — not just his medical history, but his insurance or Medicaid status, his address, his Social Security or taxpayer identification number, the location of family members.

Once his condition had stabilized, the hospital moved him to a regular room on the fifth floor, where staff members expected to treat him for 7 to 10 days before discharging him to a sub-acute-care center for rehabilitation, the usual regimen for stroke victims.

Nineteen months later, Mr. Fok, 58, greeted a reporter from his bed in Room 516, eager to have a visitor. In the previous year and a half, perhaps 100 or more patients had come and gone from the room’s other bed, but Mr. Fok had gone nowhere. “Yes, I remember you,” he said. “John, right?”

The price of his treatment: $1.4 million.

And who was paying for it?

“The government,” Mr. Fok guessed, though he was not sure. “The hospital is losing money.”

In a city with a large immigrant population, it is not rare for hospitals to have one or more patients who, for reasons unrelated to their medical condition, do not seem to leave. At Downtown, where a bed costs the hospital more than $2,000 a day, there are currently three long-term patients who no longer need acute care but cannot be discharged because they have nowhere to go. The hospital pays nearly all costs for these patients’ treatment. One man left recently after a stay of more than five years.

RTWT. IT'S A LONG ARTICLE.

WE NEED TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE ILLEGALS PAY FOR THEIR CARE - OR AT LEAST CONTRIBUTE PART OF IT - OR GET THEM THE EFF OUT OF THE COUNTRY.

A FAIR TAX WOULD DO THAT.

EXPANDING OIL EXPLORATION IN THE USA WOULD ELIMINATE THE DEBT

... if Washington would allow more drilling permits for oil and natural gas on federal lands and federal waters, ... the federal government could over time raise $18 trillion in royalties ... more than the U.S. national debt...

RTWT.

LET'S SEE THE BENEFITS:

1. ELIMINATES THE DEBT
2. ELIMINATES THE DEFICITS
3. REDUCES INFLATION
4. REDUCES UNEMPLOYMENT
5. INCREASES ECONOMIC GROWTH

WHAT'S THE DOWNSIDE?

ER... UM... MORE BENIGN CO2 IN THE ATMOSPHERE.

IOW: THE ONLY THING HOLDING THIS NATION BACK IS THE LEFT --- AND THEIR ANTI-FREE-MARKET ANTI-INDUSTRIAL CO2PHOBIC IDEOLOGY.

WE NEED TO DEFEAT THE LEFT IF WE WANT TO RESTORE GROWTH TO OUR ECONOMY AND THE AMERICAN DREAM FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.

AND WE NEED TO DEFEAT THE LEFT NOW.

CATHOLIC LEADERS STILL HAVE THEIR HEADS UP THEIR "YOU KNOW WHATS" WHEN IT COMES TO OBAMA AND ABORTION

IDIOTS.

KHAMINEI REJECTS ANY AND ALL 2-STATE SOLUTIONS

Iran's supreme leader rejected the Palestinians' UN statehood bid on Saturday, saying any deal that accepted the existence of Israel would leave a "cancerous tumor" forever threatening the security of the Middle East.

As leader of a country under a long-standing threat of military action from Israel and the United States, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned the Jewish state and its allies to expect "paralyzing blows" that a NATO missile shield could not prevent.

"Any plan that seeks to divide Palestine is totally rejected," Khamenei told a conference commemorating the Palestinian Intifada...

... "The two-state scheme, which has been clad in the self-righteousness of the acceptance of the Palestinian government and membership at the United Nations, is nothing but a capitulation to the demands of the Zionists or the recognition of the Zionist regime on Palestinian land," he declared.

YA GOTTA LUV IT WHEN YER ENEMIES TELL THE TRUTH.

AND KEEP IN MIND THAT KHAMENEI CALLS THE SHOTS IN IRAN, NOT AHMADINEJAD.

IRAN FINANCES AND ARMS HAMAS AND HIZBALLAH AND INSURGENTS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.

• IT'S LONG PAST TIME PEOPLE ACCEPTED THAT ...

• THERE CAN BE NO PEACE IN THE HOLY LAND -

• OR IN CENTRAL OR SOUTH ASIA -

• UNTIL IRAN IS NEUTRALIZED -

• AND THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE KINETICALLY...

• AND ONLY BEFORE THEY GET NUKES.

WILL OBAMA - WHO PULLED THE TRIGGER ON BIN LADEN AND AWLAKI - PULL THE TRIGGER ON A PREEMPTIVE ATTACK ON IRAN?

MAYBE - IN ORDER TO GET RE-ELECTED. SO WHEN MIGHT IT HAPPEN?

MMM... MAYBE RIGHT BEFORE THE SCOTUS RULES ON OBAMACARE NEXT SUMMER.

I HOPE THAT'S NOT TOO LATE... SIGH...

UH-OH: GROWING CONSENSUS: CHINA BUBBLE BURSTING

ONE:

Monetary tightening in China threatens to pop the $1.7 trillion (£1.07 trillion) credit bubble in local government finance and expose the country's simmering "subprime" crisis, according to the Communist Party's economic guru.

TWO:

China may have had a gigantic bubble; some sectors of the economy will collapse: Marc Faber

THREE:

Fund manager Jim Chanos spoke to Bloomberg TV’s Carol Massar about China's economy, debt and real estate market.

Chanos said that growth in China may be zero and that China has “European kind of numbers” when it comes to debt.

On how a Chinese property bubble will play out:

"I think that will be the surprise going into this year, and into 2012 - that it is not so strong. The property market is hitting the wall right now and things are decelerating. The CEO of Komatsu said last week that he is having trouble getting paid for his excavator sales in China. Developers are being squeezed. They're turning to the black market for lending, this shadow banking system that is growing by leaps and bounds like everything in China.

"Regulators over there are really trying to get their hands around the problem. In the meantime, local governments have every incentive to just keep the game going. So they will continue with these projects, continuing to borrow as the central government tries to rein it in."

Chanos on his long and short positions:

"We are short Chinese banks, the property developers, commodity companies that sell into China, anything related to property there is still a short."

FOUR:

Thanks to this rampant use of credit, homes are now selling at outrageous levels when compared with personal incomes, 22:1 in some coastal regions. Investors should note that this ratio is far worse than anything the American property market experienced before its bubble burst suggesting that rough times could still be ahead for China and the likely overbought real estate market.

FIVE:

China’s biggest builder in the eastern province of Zhejiang, Greentown, appears to be in trouble and may provoke the start of contagion in Chinese property.

Chinese property stocks are plunging (by 10% a day in some cases). Developers in China are starting to have their liquidity challenged and their access to finance locally and globally is drying up.

THE FED AND THE ECB ARE DESPERATE TO SOLVE THEIR OWN PROBLEMS BEFORE THE SHIT HITS THE FANS IN CHINA.
SIX MONTHS - THAT ALL THEY HAVE.
STAY TUNED...

Obama appeasing Erdogan: sends this pro-HAMAS islamist 3 Super Cobra helicopters

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD TIME TO WITHHOLD THE CHOPPERS AND USE THEM AS LEVERAGE AGAINST ERDOGAN TO GET HIM TO STOP ISSUING PROVOCATIVE DECREES ONE AFTER ANOTHER AND THREATENING ISRAEL AND CYPRUS.

APPARENTLY, OBAMA DOESN'T MIND ERDOGAN'S INCREASINGLY BELLIGERENT AND PRO-ISLAMIST FOREIGN POLICY - SO HE'S SENDING THEM.

WHICH IS TRULY AWFUL BECAUSE IT IS HARMFUL TO US AND OUR OTHER ALLIES.

TURKEY CURRENTLY USES THEM MOSTLY AGAINST THE KURDS - FOLKS WHO HAVE A LEGITIMATE DESIRE FOR THEIR OWN NATION STATE, UNLIKE THE FAKISTINIANS.

NEW ZEALAND'S CREDIT RATINGS CUT AGAIN - I BLAME BUSH!

MUSTABIN BUSH'S UNFUNDED WARS AND TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH:

Standard & Poor’s lowered New Zealand’s credit rating one notch Friday, adding the country to a lengthening line of developed economies whose credit profiles have been undermined by high debt and the uncertain global economic outlook.

The downgrade followed a similar move by Fitch Ratings, which cut its rating for New Zealand on Thursday and also singled out the country’s high foreign debt levels as a cause for concern.

OH. SORRY. WAIT. BUSH WASN'T PRESIDENT OF NEW ZEALAND. AND THEY HAVE A MINUSCULE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT. AND NO UNFUNDED WARS. AND NO TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH.

THEN... ER, UM... HOW COULD THEY BE IN TROUBLE?!?!?!

IT'S THE SOCIALISM, STUPID!

NATO BEGINNING TO CONSIDER WAKING UP REGARDING TURKEY'S PROVOCATIVE FOREIGN POLICY

NYT/GLOBAL:

NATO’s secretary general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, expressed disquiet on Friday about tensions over natural gas exploration in the Mediterranean between a newly assertive Turkey and Cyprus, as well as Turkey’s strained relations with Israel, saying that they were both “a matter of concern.”

Mr. Rasmussen said he did not foresee the tension turning into conflict in the Mediterranean, and he praised Turkey as an indispensable member of NATO that could be “a bridge” between the West and the Arab countries now engaged in revolts.

“Obviously the tensions between Turkey and Israel are a matter of concern,” he said in an interview here. “It’s a bilateral issue, NATO is not going to interfere with that,” he added, “but it is the interest of the alliance to see these tensions eased, because Turkey is a key ally and Israel is a valuable partner for the alliance.”

IT'S NOT ENOUGH, BUT IT'S A START... I JUST HOPE IT'S NOT TOO LITTLE TOO LATE.

NEWT GINGRICH: IN YOUR HEAD, YOU KNOW HE'S RIGHT

I SAW NEWT DELIVER HIS 21ST CENTURY CONTRACT FOR AMERICA.

IT WAS GREAT - AND SO WAS HE.

HE'S THE SMARTEST GUY IN THE RACE -AND ONE WITH PERHAPS THE BEST EXPERIENCE, TOO.

HE'S MAKE A GREAT PRESIDENT.

BUT HE'S NOT A VERY GOOD CANDIDATE. HE'S TOO PROFESSORIAL.

HE CANNOT INSPIRE A CROWD LIKE PALIN, OR CAIN.

HE CANNOT GET INDEPENDENTS TO VOTE FOR HIM LIKE MITT.

OR RAISE MONEY LIKE MITT ND PERRY AND PALIN.

IF PALIN ENDORSED HIM, THEN HE'D HAVE A CHANCE.

OUTSIDE OF THAT, THE BEST WE CAN HOPE FOR IS THAT THE NEXT POTUS PICKS HIM TO BE HIS CHIEF POLICY ADVISOR.

With Awlaki dead, who becomes the new #1 threat to the USA? OBAMA!

Awlaki is dead; good riddance!

Now... who becomes the new #1 threat to the USA?

OBAMA. No one else even comes close to doing as much to destroy our economy or - in Obama's words - "transform" America.

The list of disastrous Obama policies is most impressive:

Obamacare, Dodd-Frank, Obamanomics/class warfare, awful programs and policies in response to the mortgage crisis and the Euro-crisis, his tacit support for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Syria - his lack of support for the Iranian rebellion, and his basic enmity for Israel.

If Obama was a crypto-Mulsim, then he would be the most dangerous jihadist in the world and enemy #1. At the very least, Obama is the most dangerous leftist in American history - doing more harm to he USA than Ayers, Dohrn, Debs, Farrakhan, Malcolm X, and Jimmy Carter.... COMBINED.

OBAMA BLAMES AMERICANS FOR THE LOUSY ECONOMY

THEY CAN ATONE BY VOTING GOP IN 2012.

"L'Shana Tova and L'shana Haba'a b'Yerushalayim" - er...um, though not if Obama and Hillary Clinton and Abbas have their way!

"L'shana Tovah!" (HAPPY NEW YEAR!) and "L'shana Haba'a b'Yerushalayim " (NEXT YEAR N JERUSALEM!) JEWS HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

BUT NO LONGER - IF HILLARY CLINTON AND OBAMA GET THEIR WAY, THEN ALL JEWS CAN SAY IS NEXT YEAR IN HALF OF JERUSALEM:

Secretary of State Clinton, in a sharp departure from her stance when she was a senator, is warning that any American action, even symbolically, toward recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel must be avoided for the reason that it would jeopardize the peace process.

Her warnings were issued in a brief she has just filed with the Supreme Court — in which she is arguing that a law she voted for when she was Senator is unconstitutional because it could require the U.S. government to give to an American citizen born at Jerusalem papers showing the birthplace as Israel.

DISGUSTING. OBAMA AND HILLARY ARE TAKING THE SIDE OF ISRAEL'S ENEMIES.

JEWS WHO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OBAMA AND HILLARY ARE IGNORANT DUPES OR JUDENRATS.

AND THAT INCLUDES KOCH - (THOUGH HE'S PROBABLY BEING BLACKMAILED WITH NASTY PHOTOS!).

SIGH.

MAY YOU BE WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE. AND MAY YOU AND YOURS ENJOY HEALTH, HAPPINESS, PEACE AND PROSPERITY IN THE NEW YEAR!

IT HAS BEGUN: BLACK RACIST FLASH-MOB INVADES WHITE HOME IN PHILLY

COPS SAY IT WAS A RACIALLY MOTIVATED ATTACK AND OBAMA IS ABSOFREAKINLUTLEY SILENT.

MAYBE THIS IS WHAT HE MEANT WHEN HE TOLD THE CBC THAT BLACKS SHOULD TAKE OFF THEIR SLIPPERS??

MAYBE HE SHOULD HAVE A BEER SUMMIT - BUT FOR THESE THUGS IT'LL HAVE TO BE KEGGER... OF COLT45?

MAYBE THIS MOB IS AN OMEN OF WHAT'S TO COME OVER THE NEXT YEAR IF IT CONTINUES TO LOOK LIKE OBAMA IS GONNA LOSE?

AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE IS TROUNCED?

MAYBE THIS RACE-BAITING TURD OBAMA SHOULD FREAKIN' RESIGN.

AT THE DIRECTION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THE MORTGAGES BANKS AND FANNIE MAE WROTE TO MILLIONS OF TRULY UNQUALIFIED BUYERS INFLATED REAL ESTATE PRICES AND CONTAMINATED THE ENTIRE FINANCIAL SYSTEM.

25 official acts by Obama that have damaged the USA

25 ways Obama has damaged the USA and diminished the office.

A petition to ask Barack Obama to resign

FROM MOTUS:

"We the people petition Barack Obama to resign the office of President of the United States effective immediately."

According to the "We The People" rules, if a petition gathers 5,000 signatures within 30 days, it will receive an official White House response.

If a petition receives 150 signatures, it will appear in official "We The People" search results. My petition needs 4,950 more signatures to earn an official White House response (what can I say, I'm small), so I am asking everyone I know to publish this direct link to the petition and encourage your millions of readers, viewers and listeners to sign it. The link to my post on the petition and "We The People" site is here.

It would be great to force the White House to make an official response!

IF AL QAEDA SHOOTS DOWN A JETLINER OVER THE MEDITERRANEAN (G-D FORBID), I HOPE OBAMA HAS THE DECENCY TO RESIGN

THANKS TO OBAMA'S INEPTLY PLANNED AND EXECUTED AID TO THE LIBYAN REBELS - AND HIS OUT-SOUCING THE JOB TO NATO, AL QAEDA NOW HAS 20,000 SAM MISSILES CAPABLE OF BLOWING UP JETS.

YES: OBAMA'S HANDLING OF THIS MISADVENTURE HAS BEEN INEPT.

WE SHOULD HAVE SECURED OR DESTROYED GADDAFY'S BIG STUFF WITH AERIAL ASSAULT/BOMBARDMENT.

I MEAN, WHY THE HECK WASN'T THIS DONE!?!?

IT'S INEXCUSABLE.

AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF, OBAMA HAS FAILED - MISERABLY.

WOW: NYTIMES USES PHOTO OF OBAMA WITHOUT HALO BUT WITH HIS TELEPROMPTER!

THIS NYTIMES PHOTO (LINK HERE) MIGHT BE THE BEST PROOF YET THAT THE LEFT IS AS TIRED OF OBAMA AS EVERYONE ELSE!

THEY USED TO USE THIS ANGLE TO SHOW HIM UNDER A HALO. NO MORE!

CUI BONO FROM OBAMA'S POLICIES?

WHEN WONDERING WHAT MOTIVATES PARTICULAR ACTIONS BY PARTICULAR PEOPLE, IT'S HELPFUL TO ASK THE AGE OLD QUESTION - IN THE AGE OLD LANGUAGE OF LATIN:

CUI BONO?

"WHO BENEFITS".

THE ENEMIES OF THE USA AND THE FREE WORLD ARE THE CHIEF BENEFICIARIES OF OBAMA'S AWFUL POLICIES: CHINA, RUSSIA, AND GLOBAL JIHAD.

HERE'S HOW:

• IF AMERICA CONTINUES DOWN THE COLLECTIVIST PATH OBAMA HAS SET US ON...

• THEN THE USA WILL BECOME SO INDEBTED - TO CHINA, (A SOCIALIST COUNTRY AND A HEGEMONIC ADVERSARY)...

• THAT WE WON'T BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO DEFEND THE FREE WORLD...

• ENABLING CHINA AND IRAN AND GLOBAL JIHAD TO EXPAND AND TAKE OVER ASIA AND THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA AND HENCE THE MEDITERRANEAN...

• AND ENABLING RUSSIA TO HAVE FREE REIGN OVER EUROPE...

• A EUROPE - THAT BECAUSE OF ITS DECADES OF SOCIALISM, HAS ALREADY BEEN ENCUMBERED BY A STRANGLING DEBT...

• AND THIS HOBBLING OF THE WEST - OF THE FREE WORLD - WILL LAST IN PERPETUITY AS OUR DEBTS WILL ENCUMBER GENERATION AFTER GENERATION.

IF YOU BELIEVE IN PERSONAL LIBERTY, AND IF YOU DESIRE THE PROSPERITY ONLY LIBERTY PRODUCES FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR CHILDREN AND YOUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN...

THEN YOU SHOULD OPPOSE OBAMA WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND ALL YOUR SOUL AND ALL YOUR MIGHT.

IF WE FAIL, WE AND OUR CHILDREN AND OUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN - AND THEIR DESCENDANTS - SHALL SURELY SUFFER 1000 YEARS OF DARKNESS.

AT LEAST.

SIGH.

PALIN SHOULD EMULATE DEMINT AND HOST A FORUM FOR THE CANDIDATES

SDEMINT HELD A PUBLIC INTERVIEW OF EACH OF THE GOP CANDIDATES - IT WAS CALLED THE PALMETTO FORUM.

• EACH CANDIDATE WAS INTERVIEWED FOR 20 MINUTES STRAIGHT.

• IT WAS GREAT. SUBSTANTIVE. NO GOTCHA QUESTIONING FOR THE RATINGS. NO MSM BS.

• (YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO HERE.)

I THINK PALIN SHOULD HOST HER OWN CANDIDATE FORUM.

WITH THE HELP OF RUSH AND SEAN AND LEVIN!

(WHO CAN ASK THEIR QUESTIONS AND FOLLOW-UPS REMOTELY VIA SKYPE.)

IT CAN BE BROADCAST ON-LINE AND ON C-SPAN.

I THINK THE AUDIENCE WOULD BE HUGE!

JUST AN IDEA.

NYTIMES: Sharp Rise in U.S. Health Insurance Cost, Study Finds

The cost of health insurance for many Americans this year climbed more sharply than in previous years, outstripping any growth in workers’ wages and adding more uncertainty about the pace of rising medical costs.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE RIGHT PREDICTED WOULD HAPPEN. AND THE NUMBER OF INSURED HAS DECLINED - EXCEPT FOR 21-26 YR OLDS WHO WENT ON MOMMY AND DADDY'S PLAN.

IOW: OBAMACARE IS AN ABSOFREAKINLUTE TOTAL ABJECT STINKIN FAILURE.

SOCIALISM ALWAYS IS.

SIGH.

IT'S THE ISLAM, STUPID: Pakistanis Tied to 2007 Border Ambush on Americans

I don't think there's a single officially islamic country that we can really trust. They are all duplicitous when it comes to us and the West. WHY?

It's the islam, stupid!

UPDATED: Barry Soetoro must have some nasty pictures of Eddie Koch

Barry must have some nasty pictures of Eddie - because that's how they play the game in Chicago:

Koch Endorses Obama in 2012

Former Mayor Edward I. Koch, who recently used the forum of a special Congressional election to broadcast his criticism of President Obama’s Israel policy, announced in an e-mail on Tuesday that Mr. Obama’s United Nations speech opposing the Palestinians’ bid for statehood had satisfied all his concerns, and that he was now prepared to support Mr. Obama’s re-election.

Koch is wrong: Obama doesn't deserve the Jewish vote. Obama has set back the Middle East by decades and made Israel's enemies stronger by appeasing them for 3 years.

Jews shouldn't let Obama's election campaign rhetoric change that fact for them. they should oppose Obama 0 - and if they're Democrats then they should support a primary challenge by a Democrat who will support Israel more than they support Israel's enemies.

UPDATE:

MORE PROOF EDDIE IS WRONG THAT OBAMA IS OKAY FOR ISRAEL:

TONIGHT, OBAMA CAME OUT AGAINST ISRAELIS BUILDING ANY MORE APARTMENTS IN JERUSALEM.

UPDATE #2:

THE WAY THE NYTMES FRAMES THE STORY, ISRAEL IS PRESUMED NOT TO HAVE ANY CLAIM ON ANY LAND IT WON IN THE 1967 WAR - SOMETHING UNSCR 242 DOESN'T ARGUE. EXCERPT:

Israel announced plans on Tuesday for 1,100 new housing units in an area of South Jerusalem outside Israel’s pre-1967 boundaries. The move reflects Israel’s continued rejection of Palestinian demands for a halt in settlement construction as a condition for peace talks.

ISRAEL IS NOT EVER GOING TO GIVE BACK JERUSALEM - A CITY THAT WAS ONLY EVER DIVIDED FOR 18 OF ITS 3000 YEARS.

ANTI-ZIONISTS LIKE OBAMA AND ABBAS HAD BETTER GET THAT THROUGH THEIR THINK SKULLS.

LAZY LEFTIST GREEKS BEG PRODUCTIVE HARD-WORKING GERMANS FOR HELP

LAZY LEFTIST GREEKS BEG PRODUCTIVE HARD-WORKING GERMANS FOR HELP.

I THINK GERMANY OUGHT TO DEMAND THAT GREECE BECOME A PROTECTORATE OF GERMANY AND PAY A PORTION OF ITS TAXES TO BERLIN.

GREEK NATIONAL GOVERNMENT THEN BECOMES MERELY AN ENTITY HAT ONLY DEALS IN STRICTLY LOCAL TOWN/VILLAGE/MUNICIPAL LAWS.

(AND THEY GOTTA HAVE ALL THEIR TAX & SPEND REFORMS WRITTEN IN BERLIN, TOO. LIKE RAISING THE RETIREMENT AGE TO 65 - FROM 50.)

A WORD OF PRAISE FOR MICHAEL MOORE, DENNIS KUCINICH AND BERNIE SAUNDERS

THANKS FOR BEING HONEST ABOUT YOUR BELIEFS.

UNLIKE OUR PRESIDENT AND MOST OF THE LEFTISTS WHO DOMINATE THE DEMOCRAT PARTY, MOORE AND KUCINICH AND SAUNDERS ADMIT THEIR LEFTIST POSITIONS AND POLICIES.

THEY AREN'T ASHAMED OF BEING SOCIALISTS.

UNLIKE THEIR COUSINS IN EUROPE - WHO CALL THEIR LEFT-OF-CENTER PARTIES "SOCIALIST", MOST DEMOCRATS ARE AFRAID OF ADMITTING THEY'RE SOCIALISTS AND TRANS-NATIONALISTS AND POSTMODERNISTS.

I USED TO BE A SOCIALIST. NO LONGER. NOT FOR A FEW DECADES.

LIKE ALL PERSONAL PROBLEMS OF CHOICE, THE FIRST STEP IS ADMITTING YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.

THE PROBLEM WITH AMERICAN LEFTISTS IS THAT THEY DENY 3 THINGS:

1 - THAT THEY'RE LEFTISTS
2 - THAT LEFTIST POLICIES HAVE FAILED MISERABLY EVERYWHERE, EVERY TIME
3 - THAT LEFTIST POLICIES ARE IMMORAL BECAUSE THEY VIOLATE THE SANCTITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL

AS POLITICAL AGITATORS, WE BLOGGERS ARE OF COURSE GONNA HAVE MORE LUCK WAKING UP INDEPENDENTS - AND CONVINCING THEM THAT THE DEMS ARE SOCIALISTS AND THAT SOCIALISM IS AWFUL, THEN WE ARE GONNA HAVE WAKING UP THOSE ON THE LEFT.

BUT ONLY BECAUSE THE LEFT HAS SUCCEEDED UP TO NOW IN GETTING THEIR ADHERENTS TO SHUT OUT NON-LEFTIST MEDIA, AND BECAUSE OF THEIR STRANGLEHOLD ON THE ACADEMY.

AND THAT'S WHY DEMOLISHING THE LEGACY MEDIA AND DE-UNIONIZING PUBLIC SCHOOLS, INTRODUCING VOUCHERS AND CHOICE, AND FORCING SCHOOLS TO HAVE POLITICALLY DIVERSE FACULTIES ARE ESSENTIAL EFFORTS IF WE ARE EVER GOING TO PUT LEFTISM IN THE DUSTBIN OF HISTORY - WHERE IT BELONGS.

BECAUSE POSTMODERN LEFTISM RUNS INTERFERENCE FOR ISLAMISM, AND BECAUSE ITS POLICIES ON TAXES AND REDISTRIBUTION AND CLIMATE CHANGE DESTROY ECONOMIC GROWTH, ENDING POVERTY AND DEFEATING GLOBAL JIHAD DEPEND ON US FIRST ERADICATING LEFTISM AS AN EFFECTIVE POLITICAL MOVEMENT.

THE SURVIVAL OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION DEPENDS ON THIS, AND NOW MORE THAN EVER.

We Do Not Need To Ban The Religion of Islam - We Merely Need to Enforce Our Existing Laws

The laws are already in place to deal with Islam.

1) The stoning to death of apostates is against the First Amendment protection for Freedom of Speech/Conscience - preaching for the stoning to death of Apostates is preaching against the First Amendment. The First Amendment is the foundational Right upon which all our other rights are based, and therefore, preaching against the First Amendment is Sedition.

2) preaching the stoning of gays is a hate crime

3) preaching the subjugation of women, wherein women are deemed to be the property of men, is advocating Slavery

4) preaching Jihad against the Infidel is Sedition

5) preaching the use of Zakat as a part of the fundamental economic system of the United States is a violation of the First Amendment, separation of Church and State - so, once again, preaching in support of Zakat is Sedition.

6) Preaching a Dhimmi Tax is advocating racketeering.

If we were to, as a nation, acknowledge all these violations of law and enforce the laws together, we could close any Mosque in the United States which preached any of these fundamental tenets of Islam.

Acknowledging the reality of how these tenets function together would mean we could shut every mosque in the United States which is financially or ideologically related to any other mosque which also preaches these tenets. RICO allows for us to do that.

If we took our laws seriously, we would not have to add a Constitutional Amendment to do away with Islam.

Islam has not invented new evil. It has, however, institutionalized evil and given evil the "legitimacy" afforded to a major religion.

Islam advocates murder, it advocates slavery, and it advocates sedition.

Imagine if another powerful institution in the United States did these things.

Imagine for instance, that Fox News decided to start advocating the stoning to death of Muslims.

Imagine that Fox News systematically endorsed the enforced second-class citizenship of Muslims (in the manner of what Muslims do to women).

Imagine if Fox News said that non-Muslims owned Muslims, and Muslims could only marry, go to school, leave the house, drive, if permitted to do so by a non-Muslim.

Imagine if Fox News Chief Rupert Murdoch advocated that Muslims should not be allowed to show their faces in public, and directed all his news outlets to teach that a Muslim's voice was only worth half that of a non-Muslim in any legal manner.

Imagine if Fox News systematically, as a matter of Corporate Policy, advocated the Jihad-type murder of Muslims who refused to convert to Christianity or be subjugated as Dhimmis.

Would the United States Government not rightly intervene if a powerful institution were to advocate such ideas as a matter of top-down policy? Would not such an Institution, be it Academic, Media Outlet, Religion, or Governmental Entity, be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law?

So it ought to be with Islam. Advocating murder, slavery, and war against ones fellow countrymen as a matter of policy ought to be quite enough to prove that Islam is in violation of the laws of the United States. We do not need to come up with new laws to cover old crimes. And, we should never succumb to the lie that a religion ought to be afforded any leniency in advocating crime, simply because it is a religion.

WHY HASN'T THE TRANSITION TO DEMOCRACY IN EGYPT AND LIBYA UNFOLDED THE WAY IT DID IN POLAND?

THIS IS HOW TRANSITIONS FROM TYRANNY TO DEMOCRACY SHOULD PROCEED:

They were once bitter foes: Lech Walesa, the pro-democracy activist, and Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski, the communist leader who imprisoned Walesa for 11 months during a harsh martial law crackdown in 1981.

In a sign of their reconciliation, Walesa visited the ailing 88-year-old Jaruzelski over the weekend, shaking hands with his former jailer who lay weakened in a Warsaw hospital with cancer and pneumonia.

"Get well, General," Walesa said above a photograph of the meeting posted on his website. The daily tabloid Fakt carried the picture on its front page on Monday and declared it "historic."
Walesa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983, but his wife Danuta and son Bogdan traveled to Oslo to receive it because Walesa feared that Jaruzelski's government would not let him back into the country if he left.In 1989, negotiations allowed for the peaceful transfer of power from Jaruzelski's team to Solidarity. Jaruzelski stayed on briefly as the first president under democracy, but was replaced by Walesa in a 1990 general election.

... Since then their ties have been civil, a reflection of the peaceful transition Poland made from communism to democracy.

THE REASON LIBYA AND EGYPT AREN'T GOING AS SMOOTHLY AS POLAND IS SIMPLE: ISLAM.

EGYPT AND LIBYA WILL UNFOLD LIKE IRAN, NOT POLAND - AND ISLAM IS WHY.

MEXICAN GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL: THERE'S PROOF MAYANS HAD CONTCT WITH EXTRA-TERRESTRIALS

A new documentary about Mayan civilization will provide evidence of extraterrestrial contact with the ancient culture, according to a Mexican government official and the film's producer.

"Revelations of the Mayans 2012 and Beyond," currently in production, will claim the Mayans had contact with extraterrestrials, producer Raul Julia-Levy revealed to TheWrap.

MAYBE THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIALS TOOK THEM AWAY AND THAT'S WHY THEY SEEM TO HAVE DISAPPEARED?

GUARDS OF ERDOGAN CLASH WITH UN GUARDS

A brawl between 2 bad sides broke out at the UN building last Friday:

Security guards for Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan fought with UN guards at the annual UN summit last week when the Turkish leader tried to get in to see the historic Palestinian application speech.

One UN guard was taken to hospital, UN sources said on Monday. [...]

Erdogan had been at a meeting on a level above the UN General Assembly hall when he heard Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was about to give his speech to back the historic application.

According to the Turtle Bay blog on events at the United Nations, Erdogan rushed to get into the meeting but his entourage was told they could not use the exit they were trying to get through.

'The Turkish guards demanded that their president be allowed to pass and allegedly pushed the UN security guards. The UN guards pushed back and the Turks apparently began swinging,' Turtle Bay said.

They tried to keep quiet about this, but if it were a clash between UN and Israeli officials, don't be surprised if it did get publicized. What a most despicable bunch those Turkish delegates and their premier are, and the UN officials are no better.

FATHER AND INFANT KILLED IN CAR CRASH CAUSED BY MUSLIM RIOTS

What makes this case most disturbing is that the Israeli police attempted a cover up of how terrorist aspects were involved (Hat tip: The Blaze). As this article on Ynet tells:

“It’s very grave that [a possible cover up] comes at the expense of a grieving family.”

Those officials who attempted any cover up must resign immediately and owe a serious apology to the family involved for their offense.

MEDIA ELITE AND ARTWORLD GLITTERATI GETTING READY TO CELEBRATE ISLAMIC ART

THE ELITES OF THE MEDIA AND ART-WORLD ARE LIKE THEIR COMRADES IN HOLLYWOOD:

IT'S SICKENING.

15 KILLED IN FILIPINO-AL QAEDA CLASH

NOW TELL ME WHAT THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE JOOOOOOZE OR THE NEOCONS OR THE LIKUD OR THE GOP OR BUSHCHENEYHALLIBURTONGITMO:

Suspected Muslim militants attacked government troops guarding a school construction site in a rebel stronghold in the southern Philippines on Sunday, igniting a clash that killed 13 gunmen and two marines, a marine commander said.

About 50 gunmen attacked two marine detachments in hilly Talipao town in Sulu province at dawn, setting off two hours of fierce fighting that killed 13 suspected militants and two marines, marine commander Col. Romeo Tanalgo said. Six other military personnel were wounded before the gunmen split and withdrew into the forest, he said.

The attackers were likely young Muslim militants trained by the notoriously violent Abu Sayyaf, an Al Qaeda-linked group regarded as a terrorist organization by the United States and the Philippines, and radical members of a larger rebel group, the Moro National Liberation Front, which also has a presence in the impoverished, far-flung community, military officials said.

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE JOOOOOOZE OR THE NEOCONS OR THE LIKUD OR THE GOP OR BUSHCHENEYHALLIBURTONGITMO.

IT'S THE JIHAD, STUPID!

OZ DOCS ISOLATE GENE THAT CONTROLS INSULIN

Australian scientists have discovered that a single gene controls a very complex process, apparently forming the crucial link between eating a high fat diet and developing diabetes.

Compounds are already being developed for blocking the gene—known as Id1—as it has known adverse effects in cancer. This drug development work would very much shorten the path from discovery to prospective treatment in the case of diabetes.

... PhD scholar Mia Akerfeldt and Dr Ross Laybutt from Sydney’s Garvan Institute of Medical Research have found that Id1 appears to be the master regulator of other genes in a beta cell, and it is ‘switched on’ when people consume a high fat diet. This finding is reported in the journal Diabetes, now online.

“We’re saying that Id1 is the molecular link between environmental factors, such as high fat diet, and beta cell dysfunction,” said Dr Laybutt.

“Not only does the presence of Id1 appear to initiate all the other gene expression changes that take place in dysfunctional beta cells, its absence completely protects the beta cell.”

“We’ve demonstrated our finding in animal models and cell culture, and we’ve also shown that pancreatic tissue from diabetic people expresses Id1.”

FASTER PLEASE!

HMMM... CIA HQ IN KABUL ATTACKED

HMMM... THE ISI STRIKES AGAIN??? REUTERS:

Militants attacked a U.S. compound in Kabul that is believed to include a major CIA office for Afghanistan, according to news reports and official sources.

... Two weeks ago, militants launched an assault against the U.S. embassy and NATO headquarters in Kabul. U.S. officials blamed those attacks on the Haqqani network, a group of Afghan militants based in Pakistan's tribal areas.

U.S. officials said there was intelligence, including intercepted phone calls, suggesting those attackers were in communication with people connected to Pakistan's principal spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence directorate.

China About To Collapse? The Price of Land in Beijing Slumped 73% In August

From Al Fin (via Bloomberg):

“We’re reaching a tipping point where land sales are dropping much faster than before, developers are losing more access to bank financing, and housing prices are showing weakness,” Nomura’s Zhang said in an interview in Beijing yesterday.

...The price of land in Beijing slumped 76 percent in August from a month earlier, while in Guangzhou it plummeted 53 percent, according to Soufun. Land auction failures surged 242 percent in the first seven months of this year because of government curbs on the property market, the Beijing Times reported Aug. 3.

...Funding problems are just “the tip of the iceberg” and “sharp declines in property sales and prices are likely in the next two to three months,” said Shen Jianguang, an economist at Mizuho Securities Asia Ltd. in Hong Kong.

...“The risk of China replaying the hard landing of 2008 is increasing as the property sector cools and exports weaken,” Shen said. “ I fear that once the real economy deteriorates and officials do loosen policies, it will already be too late.” _Bloomberg

Al Fin comment:

When global markets contracted in the 2008 crash, China lost a huge portion of its export income. Without its economic mainstay, China was forced to create an artificial real estate boom inside its own borders, to boost GDP and support employment. China's ongoing construction and real estate bubble has consumed a huge proportion of global commodities production -- helping to support the economies of commodities producing nations.

PROOF CO2PHOBIA IS BS: AS "MAN-MADE" CO2 HAS INCREASED, WEATHER-RELATED FATALITIES HAVE ACTUALLY DECREASED

• THE AGW FREAKS AND CLIMATE ALARMISTS USED TO SCREAM THAT WE WERE HEADED FOR A SUPER-HEATED GLOBAL CLIMATE.

• AS RECENT COOLING AND HARSH WINTERS HAVE COME TO THE FORE, AND THAT NIGHTMARE FADED, THE ALARMISTS STARTED TO SCREAM THAT MAN-MADE GREENHOUSE GASES WOULD NOT JUST TURN THE EARTH INTO A SUPER-HEATED GREENHOUSE, BUT MAKE ALL WEATHER MORE EXTREME.

HERE'S PROOF THAT THE "CO2 MAKES GLOBAL CLIMATE MORE EXTREME" MEME IS TOTAL BULLSHIT, TOO:

WUWT:

Aggregate mortality attributed to all extreme weather events globally has declined by more than 90% since the 1920s, in spite of a four-fold rise in population and much more complete reporting of such events. The aggregate mortality rate declined by 98%, largely due to decreased mortality in three main areas:

• Deaths and death rates from droughts, which were responsible for approximately 60% of cumulative deaths due to extreme weather events from 1900–2010, are more than 99.9% lower than in the 1920s.
• Deaths and death rates for floods, responsible for over 30% of cumulative extreme weather deaths, have declined by over 98% since the 1930s.
• Deaths and death rates for storms (i.e. hurricanes, cyclones, tornados, typhoons), responsible for around 7% of extreme weather deaths from 1900–2008, declined by more than 55% since the 1970s.

To put the public health impact of extreme weather events into context, cumulatively they now contribute only 0.07% to global mortality.

CO2PHOBIA IS AND ALWAYS WAS TFBS.

CO2PHOBIA IS AND ALWAYS WAS POLITICAL PROPAGANDA DESIGNED BY LEFTISTS TO PROMOTE SOCIALISM AND HOBBLE THE 1ST WORLD.

IN FACT, CO2PHOBIA HAS HURT THE THIRD WORLD AND INCREASED POVERTY BY SLOWING GLOBAL INDUSTRIALIZATION.

THE QUICKEST AND SUREST WAY TO END THE GLOBAL RECESSION IS TO REPEAL ALL CO2PHOBIA LAWS AND FULLY EXPLOIT OUR NATURAL ENERGY RESOURCES.

THIS WILL BRING DOWN THE COST OF ENERGY AND LOWER FOOD PRICES AND THE PRICES OF GOODS GLOBALLY.

THE LONGER WE WAIT, THE DEEPER WILL BE THEE RECESSION.

BOTTOM-LINE:

IF WE REALLY WANT TO END POVERTY, THEN WE HAVE TO END CO2PHOBIA.

QUESTION: IF PALESTINIANS REALLY WANT AND DESERVE A STATE, THEN WHY DIDN'T THEY ASK FOR ONE BEFORE 1967?

ARABS LIVED IN GAZA AND THE SO-CALLED WEST BANK BEFORE 1967.

FROM 1919 TO 1948 GAZA AND THE WEST BANK WERE BRITISH CONTROLLED. FROM 1948, GAZA WAS CONTROLLED BY EGYPT, AND THE SO-CALLED WEST BANK WAS CONTROLLED BY JORDAN - A COUNTRY INVENTED BY THE BRITISH.

ARABS LIVING IN GAZA AND THE WEST BANK DIDN'T EVER DEMAND THEIR OWN COUNTRY BACK THEN.

THEY HAVE ONLY DEMANDED AN INDEPENDENT PALESTINIAN SINCE 1967.

UP UNTIL THEN IT WAS CLEAR THAT THE PALESTINIAN CAUSE WAS PART OF THE OVERALL ARAB EFFORT TO EXPEL JEWS FROM THE ENTIRE HOLY LAND - SOMETHING THEY'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO FOR A LONG LONG TIME.

AS A MATTER OF FACT - SO LITTLE DID THE ARABS CARE ABOUT FOR NATIONALITY -- AS OPPOSED TO THE UMAH AND PAN-ARABISM (WHICH TRANSCENDS NATIONHOOD) -- THAT FROM THE TIME NASSER AND HIS MILITARY JUNTA OVERTHREW THE KING OF EGYPT UNTIL RECENTLY, ARAB DICTATORS FROM NASSER TO SADDAM AND ASSAD THE ELDER ALL TRIED TO FORM A "UNITED ARAB REPUBLIC" OF ONE SORT OR ANOTHER, AND NOT A NATION-STATE FOR EVERY LOCAL BUNCH OF ARABS.

WIKI:

In the 1940s, rulers such as Abdullah I of Jordan and Nuri as-Said of Iraq sought to create an expanded Arab empire constructed out of the smaller nation-states that had been created in the mandate period. Abdullah's dream was to be king of a Greater Syria while as-Said's dream was for a Fertile Crescent Federation. These aspirations, however, were unpopular and met with suspicion in the countries they sought to conquer. The creation of the Arab League and its insistence on the territorial integrity and respect for sovereignty of each member state, the assassination of Abdullah, and the 14 July Revolution weakened the political feasibility of these ideas.^[7]

During much of the 20th century, the rivalry between Syria and Nasser in Egypt for who would lead the union undermined the effort of forming a united Arab state.^[47] In 1958, Egypt and Syria temporarily joined to create the United Arab Republic. It was accompanied by attempts to include Iraq and North Yemen in the union. This very exercise, while fostering Egypt's position at the centre of Arab politics, led to the weakening of Syria.

With the Iraqi revolution taking place in the same year, Western powers feared the fallouts of a powerful Arab nationalism in the region. Foreign powers were not only concerned about the possible spread of such revolutionary movements in other Arab states, but also worried about losing the control and monopoly over the region's natural oil resources. However, due to discontent over the hegemony of Egypt and after a coup in Syria that introduced a more radical government to power, the United Arab Republic collapsed in 1961. The term United Arab Republic continued to be used in Egypt until 1971, after the death of Nasser.

THE QUEST FOR A NATION FOR THE SO-CALLED PALESTINIAN ARABS IS A RUSE. A HOAX. A TACTIC. MERELY PART OF THE ARAB AND MUSLIM EFFORT TO MAKE THE HOLY LAND JUDENREIN.

AND FREE OF CHRISTIANS TOO. A HUNDRED THOUSAND HAVE ALREADY FLED POST-MUBARAK EGYPT.

SINCE 1900, MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS HAVE FLED THE MUSLIM CONTROLLED PARTS OF HOLY LAND. (MORE HERE.)

MEN OF GOODWILL SHALL FIGHT THOSE WHO TRY TO ACCOMPLISH THIS TOOTH AND NAIL - OVER EVERY SQUARE INCH.

New David Goldman book discusses how Muslim world is in decline

Big Peace reports that writer David Goldman has come out with a new book called "How Civilizations Die (and why Islam is Dying Too)" which tells that the Islamic world's birthrate is decaying faster than the western world is, and aging in the process. Not only that, but they could be on the train wreck path to a case of starvation and desolation.

That doesn't exactly suggest good news, though, because as they age, their self-inflicted damage could also motivate aggressive behavior, provoked by the belief that they'll never have the opportunity to wage jihad again. And that's definitely something to worry about. The book is definitely recommended reading.

1 - CUT DISCRETIONARY SPENDING TO 2004 LEVELS.

2- GRADUALLY RAISE THE RETIREMENT AGE TO 69.

3 - ENACT THE RYAN PLAN ON MEDICARE.

4 - ENACT THE BOWLES-SIMPSON TAX REFORMS.

5 - ABOLISH THE DEPARTMENTS OF ENERGY AND EDUCATION AND ELIMINATE SUBSIDIES TO THE SO-CALLED "GREEN ECONOMY" AND OTHER CORPORATE WELFARE.

6 - LIBERATE ENERGY EXPLORATION IN THE USA FROM CO2PHOBIC REGULATIONS AND LIMITATIONS AND FULLY EXPLOIT COAL. DENY FEDERAL AID TO STATES THAT PROHIBIT ENERGY EXPLOITATION.

7 - END AID TO SO-CALLED PALESTINIANS, AND TO THE UN, TO ALL NON-ALLIES, AND TO ALL NATIONS WHOSE LAWS ENSHRINE SOCIALISM, MISOGYNY, ANTI-ZIONISM, OR RACISM.

DONE.
