THE FBI'S COLOSSAL BOTCH WITH AL-AWLAKI

FOX News (via Big Government) has revealed a most outraging admittance the FBI has made: they had the murderous Malik Nidal Hasan's indoctrinator in custody back in 2002...and released him:

The FBI, for the the first time, has admitted publicly that it knew the radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki was returning to the U.S. in October 2002 and that an FBI agent discussed the American's return with a U.S. attorney before he was detained and then abruptly released from federal custody.

Al-Awlaki, who would become the first American targeted for death by the CIA, eventually was killed last September in Yemen by a U.S. drone strike. Since September 2009, 26 terrorism cases have been tied to him and his digital jihad, according to the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy.

“I really want to get to the bottom (of this),” said Republican Rep. Frank Wolf, chairman of the committee that has oversight of the FBI. The committee was holding a hearing Wednesday on the Webster report on the FBI’s intelligence failures leading up to the Fort Hood massacre. Al-Awlaki exchanged 19 emails with Maj. Nidal Hasan, accused of murdering 13 in the shooting. [...]

Al-Awlaki was detained at New York City's JFK airport because a customs database flagged him based on an outstanding arrest warrant. Giuliano, under intense questioning by Wolf, also admitted Wednesday there were discussions between an FBI agent and the U.S. attorney in Colorado about the U.S.-born cleric’s re-entry and the warrant.

“Yes, sir, there was a dialogue, as there always will be,” Giuliano replied. “If a case agent has a case on somebody that is coming into the country, the system is triggered and set up so that there will be a call to that case agent.”

Former FBI agents say there are only likely two explanations: The bureau let the cleric into the country to track him for intelligence, or the bureau wanted to work with him as a friendly contact.

During Wednesday's hearing, Giuliano could not explain a significant time discrepancy. Al-Awlaki was being held in the early-morning hours of Oct. 10, 2002, when FBI agent Wade Ammerman told customs agents that "the warrant ... had been pulled back." But that couldn't have happened while al-Awlaki was in custody, since it was only 5:40 a.m. in Colorado where the arrest warrant originated and where the courts had yet to open for the day.

In fact, documents show the warrant was still active at that time and was only vacated later that day.

The FBI has consistently maintained that the arrest warrant was pulled because the case against the cleric was weak, and it has suggested the timing, coming on the same day the cleric re-entered the U.S. at New York City's JFK airport, was coincidental.

Their defenses are pathetic. If it hadn't been for their disastrous work, it's possible that the Ford Hood bloodbath could've been prevented. The same could be said if the military officials who knew of Hasan's dangerous behavior had put morale and the staff's safety before their careers. Thanks to the imcompetence and political correctness tainting both these outfits, the terrorist attack at Fort Hood, among other crimes, tragically took place. The FBI owes a serious apology for their cowardice and inability to maintain an effective war to stop monsters like al-Awlaki from influencing jihadists, and they have a lot of work to do in order to prevent disasters like this from happening again.

BBC: JORDAN'S STABILITY THREATENED BY SYRIAN REFUGEES

THIS IS NOT A BUG OF THE ISLAMIST ATTACK ON SYRIA; IT'S A FEATURE.

JORDAN IS NEXT - AND SOONER THAN YOU THINK.

BTW: NO MAJOR BLOGGER HAS POSTED ON JORDAN'S REFUGEE CRISIS. YET...

VOTE ROMNEY.

The 3 questions whose answers should evict Obama from the White House

1 - ARE WE SAFER AND IS THE WORLD SAFER NOW THEN 4 YEARS AGO?

2 - ARE YOU ECONOMICALLY OR FINANCIALLY BETTER OFF THEN YOU WERE 4 YEARS AGO?

3 - ARE WE ON THE RIGHT TRACK TO IMPROVE EITHER?

NO. 

IRAN IS CLOSER TO NUKES AND THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD HAS TAKEN OVER MOST OF THE ARAB WORLD. 

RUSSIA AND CHINA HAVE GROWN MORE POWERFUL AND ADVERSARIAL.  

NO.

THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST RECOVERY IN AMERICAN HISTORY AND OBAMA'S POLICIES HAVE ADDED TWICE AS MUCH DEBT IN 4 YEARS AS BUSH DID IN 8 - WITH NO POSITIVE RESULTS. 

UNEMPLOYMENT IS AWFUL - ESPECIALLY FOR OUR YOUTH AND MINORITIES. 

HOME PRICES ARE AWFUL.  

NO.

NOTHING OBAMA HAS DONE HELPED THE LONG-TERM PROSPECTS; IN FACT, THEY HAVE MADE US WEAKER IN THE LONG-TERM.

EURO ANALYST: "disintegration is now a more likely outcome than further integration"

Irish Times Economics Editor Dan O'Brien:

The potentially very important agreement among euro zone leaders on June 29th to move towards a banking union has yet to live up to any of its potential. Big questions remain about how fast and how comprehensive a euro zone banking union will be, if it ever materialises.

That is where we are now. The short-term future looks worse. 

The Greek economy may be showing tentative signs of stabilising, but the worst is not over and recovery is a long way off. The new government continues to seek concessions before proving its ability to implement reform measures.

Given the economic and political trends, it is difficult to see Greece in the euro area one year from now. While its ejection would make the zone stronger in the long term, in the short term the effect could be to trigger panic in the rest of the periphery, thereby precipitating a disorderly unravelling of monetary union. Talk of building a credible firewall around Greece has come to nothing and, given the record to date of euro zone policymakers, no solid ring-fencing of Greece appears likely, if that is even possible.

Italy being locked out of the bond market is an even bigger and more immediate risk than a Greek exit. The public debt of the world’s eighth-largest economy is very high and rising fast – €1,946 billion at last count. The euro zone’s bailout mechanisms have nowhere near the resources to bail out Italy if it cannot raise the tens of billions it needs each month.

The Italian state’s cost of borrowing remains below the peaks of the end of last year, but the economy is now much weaker, and getting weaker still. Consumer spending and confidence are falling more precipitously than during the Great Recession of 2008-09, and unemployment is rising more rapidly. The collapse in investment is not much shallower than during that period. 

Without growth, Italy’s debt dynamics will become unmanageable. Growth looks unlikely over the next year. Deep recession is far more likely.

As if that were not bad enough, there is enormous political risk. An election must be held by April. Opinion polls show support for the reforming caretaker government falling from 71 per cent last November to 33 per cent in June. The polls give no indication that Italians are uniting behind any effective alternative. A political vacuum looms in Rome. 

Without a radical change in euro zone structures and its policy response, Italy is headed for default. The decision to allow that to happen – or to prevent it – will ultimately be taken in Berlin....

.. Europe’s economy is weak, its financial system fragile, its leaders divided and its peoples sceptical of further sovereignty pooling. One can only conclude that disintegration is now a more likely outcome than further integration.

REPEAT: ... the short term the effect could be to trigger panic ...

STAY TUNED...

BRRRRRRR!: PARTS OF AUSTRALIA HAVING COLDEST WINTER IN NEARLY 50 YEARS!

This morning saw the coldest recorded August temperature in Bundaberg since 1964 - bottoming out at a bone-chilling 3.4 degrees about 6.30am. 

Before that, the only August morning recording a colder temperature was 2.7 degrees in 1964.

DON'T WORRY: LEGACY MEDIA WEATHERMAN SAID IT WAS JUST THE WEATHER AND NOT CLIMATE.

BRRRRRRR!: ANCHORAGE HAD ITS 4TH COLDEST JULY EVER!

Chilly July was fourth coldest in Anchorage history 

According to the National Weather Service, the temperature in Alaska's largest city averaged 56.3 degrees for the month.  That was only slightly warmer than 1971, the coldest July on record, which averaged 55.4 degrees. Typically, July is the hottest month of the year. 

But this July saw just three days of 70 degrees or more, with a high of 73 on July 18. On three other days, the temperature dropped to 45, the coolest for the month.

IOW: AGW = TFBS!

MUSLIM PARENTS CONVICTED OF FILICIDE IN BRITAIN

Shafilea Ahmed

BBC: The parents of Shafilea Ahmed have been jailed for life after being convicted of her murder.

The 17-year-old went missing from her home in Warrington, Cheshire, in 2003 and her body was found in the River Kent in Cumbria six months later. Iftikhar, 52, and Farzana Ahmed, 49, had denied her murder but the jury at Chester Crown Court returned guilty verdicts against them both. 

Mr Justice Roderick Evans said they would both serve a minimum of 25 years. The judge told them: "Your concern about being shamed in your community was greater than the love of your child." 

The couple suffocated Shafilea with a plastic bag after years of abuse.

THE TRUTH ABOUT TODAY'S UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBERS: "the actual amount of Americans working dropped by 195,000"

• the actual amount of Americans working dropped by 195,000

AND THIS BIT OF TRUTH:

the government releases a separate number called the "U-6," which provides a more complete tally of how many people really are out of work. 

The numbers in some cases are startling. 

Consider: Nevada's U-6 rate is 22.1 percent, up from just 7.6 percent in 2007. Economically troubled California has a 20.3 percent real rate, while Rhode Island is at 18.3 percent, more than double its 8.3 percent rate in 2007.

Those numbers compare especially unfavorably to the national rate, high in itself at 14.9 percent though off its record peak of 17.2 percent in October 2009. 

Only three states — Nebraska (9.1 percent), South Dakota (8.6 percent) and North Dakota (6.1 percent) — have U-6 rates under 10 percent, according to research from RBC Capital Markets. 

Election battleground states paint a picture not much more flattering. Florida's U-6 number is an ugly 17 percent, though Pennsylvania and Ohio are both around 14 percent, below the national U-6 average.

IOW: THE OBAMA ECONOMY SUCKS AND AIN'T GETTING BETTER - AND IT'S EVEN WORSE THAN OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES IN THE LEGACY MEDIA WANT YOU TO KNOW.

REMINDER: REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH CREATES POVERTY, NOT PROSPERITY

IF REDISTRIBUTING PRIVATE PROPERTY IMPROVED AN ECONOMY, THEN THE USSR AND AND CUBA AND ZIMBABWE AND NORTH KOREA WOULD BE THE RICHEST, MOST PROSPEROUS, AND ABUNDANT ECONOMIES ON EARTH.

FORMER MUSLIM: "Jew-hatred in Islam is an essential foundation to the Islamic belief system"

DARWISH/TAT:

... Jew-hatred masks an existential problem in Islam.  Islam is terrified of the Jews, and the number-one enemy of Islam is the truth, which must be constantly covered at any cost.  It does not matter how many Muslim men, women, and children die in the process of saving Islam's reputation.  The number-one duty of Muslims is to protect the reputation of Islam and Mohammad.   

But why would a religion burden its followers like that?  This is why: 

When Mohammed embarked on his mission to spread Islam, his objective was to create a uniquely Arabian religion, one created by an Arab prophet, which reflected the Arabian values and culture. 

 Yet to obtain legitimacy, he had to link it to the two previous Abrahamic religions, Judaism and Christianity.  He expected the Jewish tribes who lived in Arabia to declare him their Messiah and thereby bring him more legitimacy with Arabs, especially with his own tribe in Mecca, the Quraish.  Because his own tribe had rejected and ridiculed him, Mohammed needed the approval of the Jews, whom he called the people of the book.  But the conversion of Jews to Islam was part of the scenario that Mohammed had to accomplish in order to prove to Meccans that they had made a mistake by rejecting him. 

That was one of the reasons Mohammed chose to migrate to Medina, a town that had predominantly been settled by Jewish tribes and a few impoverished Arabs who lived around the Jews. 

 The Jews allowed Mohammed to move in.  At the beginning, the Koran of Mecca was full of appeals to the Jews, who were then described as "guidance and light" (5:44) and a "righteous" people (6:153-154), who "excelled the nations" (45:16).  But when the Jews rejected the appeasement and refused to convert to Islam, Mohammed simply and completely flipped.   

The Quran changed from love to threats and then pure hatred, cursing, and commandments to kill Jews.  Rejection by the Jews became an intolerable obsession with Mohammed.

THE ENCROACHMENT OF MOSQUES AROUND THE WORLD

Daniel Greenfield at Front Page Magazine's written about how mosques are being built in many western countries, some with Saudi funding. Both Marseille in France and Murfreesboro in Tennessee are just 2 places dealing with these problems. The Saudi money's gone to the following examples:

Not to be left out the Sunnis are getting their own Copenhagen mega mosque funded by Saudi Arabia. This will involve an architectural “mountain” across from the University of Copenhagen topped by two minarets, transforming the Sunni-Shiite rivalry into a competition to create the biggest Islamist eyesores in a city generally known for a quieter brand of architecture.

It’s not only in the West that the mega mosques are rising. In Moscow, Muslims have taken over entire streets to call for the construction of new mosques. And the Saudis have already offered to cover the cost.

Clearly, Saudi Arabia is the prime cause of the encroachment, which is no doubt being helped by how western countries continue to rely on their oil instead of looking for other resources elsewhere. Since the House of Saud still practices chilling dictatorialism, that's why under a sane political system, no business would be done with them until they agree to abandon their sharia-based culture. And we have to hope that sane governments and politicians will get a chance again to prove themselves capable of making clear to the Saudis this cannot be tolerated.

MEMO TO DRONES: GOVERNMENT MANDATES ARE NOT "FROM THE MIDDLE OUT"; THEY'RE FROM THE TOP DOWN!

SO... WHAT MIGHT IRAN AND/OR AL QAEDA DO NOW TO REALLY CHANGE STIR THINGS UP IN A WAY THAT PUTS THE USA AND ISRAEL AND OUR ALLIES IN A VERY BAD SITUATION?

HERE'S WHAT I THINK THEY MIGHT BE PLANNING:

• ASSASSINATE KING ABDULLAH OF JORDAN.
• ASSASSINATE KING MOHAMMED VI OF MOROCCO.
• ASSASSINATE SAAD HARIRI OF LEBANON.

THESE ASSASSINATIONS WOULD DESTABILIZE 3 SOMEWHAT STABLE NATIONS AND HURLS THEM ONTO A PATH OF ISLAMAISM.

MEANWHILE, SENATE MAJORITY LEADER REID IS SMEARING ROMNEY FROM THE FLOOR OF THE SENATE WITH RIDICULOUS HEARSAY CHARGES SO AWFUL EVEN JON STEWART THINKS REID IS DISGUSTING.

WHY THE FULL COURT PRESS?

SIMPLE:

THEY'RE TRYING TO MINIMIZE OBAMA'S IMPENDING DEFEAT IN ORDER TO HOLD ON TO THE SENATE.

THEY KNOW THAT IF A MAJORITY OF VOTERS KNEW HOW TRULY BADLY OBAMA IS DOING NOW - 99 DAYS OUT - THEN OBAMA WOULD CRASH IN THE POLLS AND THEN THE DEMOCRATS WILL LOSE BIG IN THE SENATE AND ALSO LOSE MANY MORE SEATS IN THE HOUSE, THUS GIVING THE GOP AND SUPER-MAJORITY IN BOTH HOUSES AND THE WHITE HOUSE.

Obama Has A Gigantic Lead In The Most Biased Poll Ever 

President Barack Obama has one of the biggest leads we've seen for him in quite a long time in a new Pew Research Poll: 

He's up 10 points over Mitt Romney.  

Don't take much from it, though. 

Pew's sample of registered voters is highly skewed, oversampling Democrats by almost 20 points. 

Pew surveyed 1,956 registered voters. Of those, 42 percent were Democrats and just 23 percent were Republicans. 

We can't remember a poll being that imbalanced.

COMICS ALLIANCE FAWNS OVER HARVEY PEKAR'S LAST ATROCITY

The leftist AOL-owned Comics Alliance has come out in favor of graphic novelist Harvey Pekar's attack on Israel/Zionism called "Not the Israel my Parents Promised Me". The reviewer, Matt Wilson, says some of the following dreck-laden lines:

...the book is also, as the title implies, a personal story about how Pekar came to view Israel in a very different light than his politically Zionist mother and religiously Zionist father.

There's a third part, too, a frame story in which Pekar and Waldman visit a famous used bookstore in Cleveland, grab some lunch and head to a local library branch to do some research. Everything in Not the Israel is presented as conversation, sometimes just between Pekar and Waldman, other times with additional participants who don't really do much but serve as sounding boards. All the history being packaged as casual chit-chat takes a lot of what could be dry, textbook-style, didactic material and gives it some welcome punch. It also makes it easier for Pekar to keep things moving quickly. In just a handful of pages, he jumps from the founding of Islam in 610 AD to the Middle Ages and the Crusades, hitting all the essential touchstones he needs to make his point.

This brisk format also stretches disbelief a bit, though. The idea that Waldman, who lived on a Kibbutz and wrote/illustrated an adaptation of the book of Esther, would need to learn anything about Roman rule over ancient Israel or the 1948 Arab-Israeli War is tough to believe.

Speaking of Waldman, his art here is nothing short of jaw-dropping at times. He jumps from one style to another every few pages. In the frame sections, it's Splendor-style realism, but in the history retellings he's emulating cave paintings, recreating mosaics, honoring ancient Islamic art, aping propaganda posters and telling stories in a pop-art style.

Whoa, he considers "Islamic art" worthy of attention? And presumably doesn't quote any verses from the Koran/Hadith? Okay, I've heard quite a bit about Pekar's brain then. If he considers it preferable to ancient Jewish art like ceramics, then clearly he was quite a self-hater.

There are certainly moments in the historical parts where, as a reader, it's hard not to think, "Who wouldn't know that?" But then again, there are tidbits that certainly struck me as eye-opening, such as Pekar's explanation of the roles of militant groups (Pekar calls them terrorists), the Stern Gang and the Irgun in the formation of modern-day Israel.

Though not fully clear from this, I won't be surprised if he considers Stern and Irgun and ONLY those rebel groups "terrorists" while jihadists get a free pass. Does he consider David Ben-Gurion a "terrorist" too though, since he later turned on the British as well, and by the end of WW2, the entire country was united in the belief that the British must be shown the door and realized they had no intention of allowing Israelis to self-govern? He likely did condone giving away much of Israel to the Muslim-run lands, as the British did.

Even so, the most compelling parts of the book are easily those about Pekar, his parents and his shifting ideas about Israel. As I was reading, I found myself often trying to blow through the historical summary to get to the personal stuff, and being disappointed that there wasn't more of it. Pekar's parents were clearly fascinating people. His mother was a communist during the Second Red Scare, for crying out loud. I wanted to know more about them. I wanted to know more about the leftists Pekar fell in with in his 20s, the ones who convinced him that displacing Muslims might cause some problems. I wanted to get a better conception, right upfront, about what he really thought about the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians. In the final pages, he explains his position: He wants a two-state solution in which the Israelis and the Palestinians just plain cut off all interaction with one another. He was a pragmatist to the end.

I'm not laughing at this. Racial/religious segregation is a very negative concept, and it's more than crystal clear by now the so-called palestinians have no intention of ceasing their belief in jihad against Jews and other non-Muslims.

That his mom was a commie may explain why he was vulnerable to other leftists with potentially more damaging views than hers.

Near the end of the book, Pekar talks about an opinion column he wrote for The Cleveland Plain Dealer in 1978, in which he said Jewish Nationalism was encouraging a cycle of violence, and a letter to the editor responding to it. The back-and-forth really encapsulates why these conflicts -- between Arabs and Jews, and among Jewish people themselves -- are so intractable.

This is enough to make me wonder if, not only does reviewer Wilson have a dehumanizing view of either or both sides that doesn't judge by culture/color of character, but if he's also the kind of man who would consider Hasidics more loathsome than Muslims with keffiyehs. Or something like that. What is apparent is that we have another disgrace running around who has no intention of researching and acknowledging the contents of the Koran/Hadith, and asking whether they encourage violent and misogynist cycles among their adherents.

One more thing: I wouldn't be surprised if the list of disagreements Pekar had with Menachem Begin didn't include how he was willing to do business with Anwar Sadat, a creature who'd served as a nazi spy during WW2, and didn't have any problems with uprooting Yamit either.

A BILL FOR RECOGNIZING JEWS DISPLACED FROM MUSLIM LANDS

Some members of Congress have introduced a bill to recognize the plight of Jews who were exiled and endured other degradations in Muslim countries:

A bipartisan bill that would ensure recognition of the plight of 850,000 Jewish refugees displaced from Arab countries since Israel's War of Independence in 1948 has been introduced to the U.S. Congress.

The legislation, proposed by Representatives Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Howard Berman (D-CA), Ted Poe (R-TX), Joe Crowley (D-NY), and Bob Turner (R-NY), calls on the Obama administration to pair any explicit reference to Palestinian refugees with a similar reference to Jewish or other refugee populations.

“The suffering and terrible injustices visited upon Jewish refugees in the Middle East needs to be acknowledged," Nadler said. "It is simply wrong to recognize the rights of Palestinian refugees without recognizing the rights of nearly one million Jewish refugees, who suffered terrible outrages at the hands of their former compatriots.

This no-nonsense legislation would help secure equal treatment of Palestinian and Jewish refugees."

"Jewish refugees who were forced to flee Arab countries and Iran endured unimaginable hardships,” Ros-Lehtinen added. “Their plight has been ignored by the United Nations, other international bodies, and many responsible nations. Any comprehensive Middle East peace agreement can only be credible and enduring if it resolves all issues related to the rights of all refugees in the Arab world and Iran, including Jews, Christians and others."

In the case of the so-called "palestinian" refugees, let's note though that in their case, they weren't driven out of Israel the way Jews were driven out of the ummah (and out of Jerusalem during 1948), and the Arab-Muslim countries they went to basically denied them equal rights, using them in some cases as tools for undermining Israel.

The new proposed bill is an important step in the right direction, and we must hope it passes into law.

SCIENTIFIC STUDY: 50 MILLION YEARS AGO, ANTARCTICA HAD PERSISTENT NEAR-TROPICAL WEATHER

The warmest global climates of the past 65 million years occurred during the early Eocene epoch (about 55 to 48 million years ago), when the Equator-to-pole temperature gradients were much smaller than today1, 2 and atmospheric carbon dioxide levels were in excess of one thousand parts per million by volume3, 4. 

... Here we present a well-dated record of early Eocene climate on Antarctica from an ocean sediment core recovered off the Wilkes Land coast of East Antarctica. The information from biotic climate proxies (pollen and spores) and independent organic geochemical climate proxies (indices based on branched tetraether lipids) yields quantitative, seasonal temperature reconstructions for the early Eocene greenhouse world on Antarctica. We show that the climate in lowland settings along the Wilkes Land coast (at a palaeolatitude of about 70° south) supported the growth of highly diverse, near-tropical forests characterized by mesothermal to megathermal floral elements including palms and Bombacoideae. 

HIGH TEMPS AND HIGH CO2 AND NOT AN SUV OR HUMAN IN SIGHT FOR 50 MILLION YEARS!

IOW: CLIMATE CHANGE - AND EVEN CHANGES IN ATMOSPHERIC "GHG'S" - IS NATURAL.

ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

IOW: MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING AND MAN-MADE CLIMATE CHANGE IS TFBS.

3 NON-ARAB MUSLIM AL QAEDA TERRORISTS - WITH EXPLOSIVES - ARRESTED IN SPAIN

Police in southern Spain have arrested three suspected al-Qaeda members in possession of explosives and poison, Spanish media say. 

They say the suspects are a Turk and two men possibly of Chechen origin, and were held in two Spanish towns. They are thought to have been planning an attack in Spain. It is reported to be the first time such suspects have been found with explosives.

• No surprise that for most weather stations last month was the coolest July in at least 10 to 24 years.
• Average temperatures ranged from 12.6 degrees Celsius at Knock Airport which is its coolest since 1998.
• While Malin Head reported an average temperature of 13 degrees which is its coolest July in 40 years.
• Rainfall was above average nearly everywhere with the highest amount falling in the Dublin area, Midlands and South-west.

GLOBAL WARMING IS BULLSHIT.

TODAY'S AMERICAN LEFT IS TO OBAMA AND GAY MARRIAGE WHAT THE OLD LEFT WAS TO STALIN AND HITLER

TODAY'S AMERICAN LEFT : OBAMA AND GAY MARRIAGE :: THE OLD LEFT : STALIN AND HITLER


GLENN REYNOLDS:

... as someone who supported gay marriage long before President Obama did (which is to say, long before a couple of months ago), I’m nonetheless gratified to see people standing up to the bullying that the left-political class has aimed at this honest business simply because its owners failed to change their views in synch with President Obama.

AS SOON AS THEIR FEARLESS LEADER CHANGE HIS VIEWS, THE LEFT ALL JOINED IN, LOCK-STEP.


NOW, CHICK-FIL-AL CEO IS EVIL FOR SAYING WHAT OBAMA BELIEVED UP UNTIL 2 MONTHS AGO.


THE PEOPLE ON THE LEFT AREN'T THINKING; THEY'RE FOLLOWING THE NEW PARTY LINE.


THIS IS IS HOW THE LEFT-WING DOMINATED DEMOCRAT PARTY OPERATES:

• IT'S NOT A PRINCIPLE-BASED PARTY.
• IT'S A FACTION BASED PARTY.
• AND "PRINCIPLES" SHIFT ANYTIME THE PARTY LEADERS SENSE THAT THE "PRINCIPLES" NEED TO SHIFT...
• IN ORDER TO HOLD ON TO THE POWER THEY NEED ...
• IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO DOLE OUT FAVORS ...
• TO THE FACTIONS THAT MAKE UP THEIR COALITION.

REMINDS ME OF HOW AMERICAN COMMIES STOPPED HATING HITLER WHEN HE SIGNED A PACT WITH STALIN. AND THEN JUST AS SUDDENLY STARTED HATING HITLER AGAIN WHEN HE AND UNCLE JOE PARTED WAYS:

.. Nazi Germany terminated the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact [AKA: THE HAZI-SOVIET PACT; THE COMMUNAZI PACT; THE STALIN-HITLER PACT] with its invasion of the Soviet Union at 03:15 on 22 June 1941.[97]  

Stalin had ignored several warnings that Germany was likely to attack,[205][206][207] and ordered no full-scale mobilization of forces.[208]
After the launch of the invasion, the territories gained by the Soviet Union due to the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact were lost in a matter of weeks. Within six months, the Soviet military had suffered 4.3 million casualties[209] and Germany had captured three million Soviet prisoners.[210]

FOLKS WHO SAW WHAT HITLER WAS FROM THE START AND ACTED UPON IT - FOLKS LIKE CHURCHILL - THEY'RE THE PRINCIPLED FOLKS.


THEY AIN'T ON THE LEFT,


THEY NEVER WERE.

WHY DID OBAMA RELEASE A PHOTO OF HIMSELF TALKING TO ERDOGAN WHILE HOLDING A BASEBALL BAT?

(CNN) – It's still a mystery why President Barack Obama was holding a baseball bat during his telephone conversation with Turkey's Prime Minister Erdogan earlier this week. An official White House photo shows the president with the bat in one hand and a phone in the other.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was asked about the photo on Tuesday and promised get some answers but so far nothing. 

The photo is getting quite a bit of attention in overseas publications wondering about "hidden messages" or the "symbolic meaning" of the president holding the baseball bat.

THE BASEBALL BAT WAS PHOTOSHOPPED IN.

HERE'S THE REAL PHOTO:

IT'S THAT SIMPLE.

IT WAS HUCK'S IDEA.

THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN ON ELECTION DAY.

RUSH MAKES RACIST COMMENTS DEMONIZING DEMOCRATS

“Because of the Citizens United OBAMACARE decision, AXELROD Karl Rove and the DEMOCRATS Republicans are looking forward to a breakfast the day after the election,” RUSH Reid told The DAILY CALLER  Huffington Post. “They are going to assemble 17 angry old white BLACK men for breakfast, some of them will slobber in their food, some will have scrambled eggs GRITS, some will have oatmeal CHIT'LIN'S, their teeth are gone. But these 17 angry old white BLACK men will say, ‘Hey, we just bought America. Wasn’t so bad. We still have a whole lot of money left.’”

OH. SORRY. IT WAS REID.

UH-OH: GLOBAL PMI DOWN TO NEAR 2009 LEVELS

PMI = PURCHASING MANAGERS INDEX - AN INDEX MADE BY ARE THE FOLKS WHO ARE IN DIRECT, CLOSE, PERSONAL CONTACT WITH THE ECONOMY.

FROM THEIR ANALYSIS AND SENTIMENT - AND THE REACTION IN THE MARKETS, LOOKS LIKE WE'RE ABOUT TO GO INTO A GLOBAL RECESSION:

• GLOBAL ECONOMY-Asian factories sputter as Europe sinks -PMIs:

* Spreading euro crisis plagues global economies
* Euro zone factory PMI hits 44.0, lowest since June 2009
* China official PMI slips to 50.1, eight-month low

• China's official factory purchasing managers' index fell to an eight-month low of 50.1 in July, suggesting the sector is barely growing

• The contraction in the U.K.’s manufacturing sector deepened sharply in July to the lowest level since May 2009 as weakening demand from Asia added to a growing list of economic headwinds, data from Markit and the Chartered Institute of Purchasing & Supply showed Wednesday.The figures come hot on the heels of lender Nationwide’s disappointing U.K. house price index, and suggest the recession-hit economy has a tough road to recovery as confidence and demand plummet.

• Denmark's purchasing managers' index dropped 6 points in July and fell below the neutral value for the first time since November, due mainly to stark declines in the sub-indices for new orders and production, the Danish purchase management and logistics lobby DILF said Wednesday. The PMI for July showed a value of 46.5 points, down from 52.5 in June and 53.7 in May, DILF said in a statement. The Danish PMI measures orderbooks, the weighted average of production, workforce, delivery times, inventories of finished goods, input costs and purchasing quantities, with 50 points being the neutral value. Most notably, the level of new orders measured in July fell 18.6 points to 45.7 points, from values of 64.3 and 56.5 in June and May, respectively. Production also dropped markedly to 47.5 points from 59.3 in June and 56 in May. Dilf said the decline in new orders to below 50 indicates that the level of incoming orders is still in decline, which again could point to a further weakening of production in the months ahead.

11TH CENTURY BC GOLD FOUND AT MEGIDDO

Tel Megiddo was an important Canaanite city-state until the early 10thcentury B.C.E. and a pivotal center of the Northern Kingdom of Israel in the 9th and 8th centuries B.C.E. It is a multi-layered site with various time periods clearly differentiated, and in this time period there are 10 to 11 strata well-dated through radiocarbon analysis. "Such a sequence of radiocarbon dates doesn't exist anywhere else in the region," says Prof. Finkelstein. 

The layer in which the jewelry was found has already been dated to the 11th century B.C., just after the end of Egyptian rule in the 12th century B.C., Arie says. Either the jewelry was left behind in the Egyptian withdrawal or the people who owned the jewelry were influenced by Egyptian culture. 

... The researchers believe that the collection, which was discovered in the remains of a private home in the northern part of Megiddo, belongs to a time period called "Iron I," and that at least some of the pieces could have originated in nearby Egypt. Some of the materials and designs featured in the jewelry, including beads made from carnelian stone, are consistent with Egyptian designs from the same period, notes Ph.D. candidate Eran Arie, who supervises the area where the hoard was found. ... 

"It's clear that people tried to hide the collection, and for some reason they were unable to come back to pick it up." The owners could have perished or been forced to flee, he says. Prof. Ussishkin believes that it was the jewelry collection of the Canaanite woman who lived in the house.

The assortment of jewelry is also out of the ordinary, notes Arie. Though the collection includes a number of lunette (moon-shaped) earrings of common Canaanite origin, researchers found an abundance of gold items in the collection and a number of beads made from carnelian, which was frequently used in the making of Egyptian jewellery in the same period. This points to a strong Egyptian connection, whether in influence or origin. Such a connection would not be surprising, according to Prof. Cline, who stated that interactions between Egypt and Megiddo are known to have taken place during both the Bronze Age and the Iron Age.

Woman walking around NYC topless for political reasons

A New York woman who spends her days walking around the city topless says she's fighting for equality. 

Moira Johnston, 29, a topless dancer from Philadelphia, says she is exercising her legal right to take off her shirt. She became a bare breast activist after she was banned from a yoga studio after going topless in class, something men were freely doing.
