JOHN BRENNAN GETS THE MOST "NO" VOTES FOR A NOMINEE FOR CIA DIRECTOR

The sad part though, is that he was still approved by the Senate for the role. And what makes his appointment a disaster is that:

In 2008, Brennan had pulled out of the confirmation process because of concerns among Democrats about his knowledge of, and role in, the George W. Bush administration's use of enhanced interrogation techniques with terror detainees--a practice that Brennan once supported but later came to oppose. In addition, Brennan's confirmation was beset by questions about his role in politically-motivated leaks of information from the White House. He also faced questions about the administration's response to the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya in Sep. 2012. Conservatives also charged that Brennan had shown an obsequious approach to radical Islam--referring, for instance, to Jerusalem as "Al-Quds" and citing the word "jihad" approvingly.

How odd that at first, the Dems had a problem with him, and now, they don't, because he's working for their side?

Brennan is not a good choice for the role, and the war on terror could suffer a severe setback with people like him in management.

HOW MIGHT THE PROPHECY OF POPE PIUS AND THAT OF MALACHY BOTH COME TRUE?

IF PETER TURKSON IS ELECTED POPE, AND IF HE TAKES THE NAME "POPE PIUS XIII", THEN BOTH PROPHECIES - MALACHY'S AND POPE PIUS'S - WILL HAVE COME TRUE.

IF SO, THEN IT WOULD MARK THE BEGINNING OF... THE END.

CHAVEZ, OBAMA AND MEEKS: OH MY!

IT IS FITTING AND PROPER THAT OBAMA SHOULD SEND MEEKS TO THE CHAVEZ FUNERAL.

AND IT IS ALSO FITTING THAT OBAMA LET THE FUNERAL FOR AMERICA'S GREATEST MILITARY SNIPER GO UNNOTICED.

THOUSANDS ATTENDED IT - BUT NOT A SINGLE PERSON FROM THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.

OBAMA IS NO MORE AN AMERICAN PATRIOT THAN WAS CHAVEZ.

BETTER NEVER, THAN LATE

TIMOTHY CARDINAL DOLAN COULD BE ELECTED POPE ON ST PADDYS DAY AND TAKE THE NAME POPE PATRICK

CARDINAL TIMOTHY DOLAN COULD BE ELECTED POPE.

THIS COULD HAPPEN ON ST PADDY'S DAY.

AND THEN, HE COULD TALE THE NAME POPE PATRICK!

EITHER THEY'RE IGNORANT ASSHOLES, OR OBAMA AND HOLDER LIE ABOUT THE NUREMBERG TRIALS

POWER LINE:

Speaking at a town hall meeting in Pennsylvania during the presidential campaign in June 2008, Barack Obama addressed the Supreme Court’s Boumediene decision granting Guantanamo detainees the right to challenge their confinement through habeas corpus proceedings in federal court. 

Obama asserted that the “principle of habeas corpus, that a state can’t just hold you for any reason without charging you and without giving you any kind of due process — that’s the essence of who we are.” He explained: 

I mean, you remember during the Nuremberg trials, part of what made us different was even after these Nazis had performed atrocities that no one had ever seen before, we still gave them a day in court and that taught the entire world about who we are but also the basic principles of rule of law. Now the Supreme Court upheld that principle yesterday. 

Obama’s comments derive from “the higher wisdom” that fueled his 2008 campaign and that is now operative in his administration. Holder perfectly reflects it. 

In referring Abu Ghaith for trial in federal court in Manhattan, cloaking him with the rights of criminal defendants under the Constitution of the United States, Holder seeks to give him his “day in court.” He also seeks to “t[each] the entire world about who we are but also the basic principles of rule of law.” 

Right on schedule the White House released this statement on Abu Ghaith’s prosecution yesterday: 

“Article 3 courts have shown that they are, in many ways, a more efficient way for us to deliver justice to those who seek to harm the United States of America and that is the consensus view of the president’s national security team and of agencies all across the federal government — that this is the best way to handle bringing Abu Ghaith to justice,” Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Friday. 

It is worth reiterating that the only appropriate response to Obama’s campaign comments on Boumediene is: “Not true.” 

The higher wisdom is founded on false precepts. 

The Nuremberg trial was conducted before a military commission composed of representatives of the United States, Great Britain, France and the Soviet Union. Obama to the contrary notwithstanding, the Nuremberg defendants weren’t brought before a federal court or cloaked with the protections of the United States Constitution.

The most prominent surviving Nazi leaders were brought for trial before the Nuremberg tribunal in late 1945. Winston Churchill had proposed, not unreasonably, that they be summarily shot. The victorious allies nevertheless subsequently agreed that they would be brought before a military commission to be convened pursuant to the London Agreement of August 8, 1945. 

In Boumediene, the Supreme Court disapproved of the system of military commissions Congress had adopted at the Supreme Court’s urging. Obama to the contrary notwithstanding, the Nuremberg defendants’ “day in court” occurred before the kind of tribunal the Supreme Court found constitutionally inadequate in Boumediene.The Nazi war criminals were given no access to American courts. Their rights before the Nuremberg tribunal were governed by the charter annexed to the London Agreement. 

The charter’s “fair trial” provision was extraordinarily brief. It required only the preparation of an indictment (to be translated into the defendant’s language) and accorded defendants an explanation relevant to the charges made against them in the proceedings; the translation of the proceedings into defendants’ language; the right to conduct their own defense before the tribunal or to have the assistance of counsel; the right to present evidence at the trial in support of his defense, and to cross-examine any witnesses testifying against him. 

The charter provision on the appeal rights of the Nuremberg defendants was even shorter and sweeter. There were no appeal rights. The charter provided: “The judgment of the Tribunal as to the guilt or the innocence of any Defendant shall give the reasons on which it is based, and shall be final and not subject to review.”

BRINGING THIS AL QAEDA TERRORIST TO A USA COURT - ONE IN NYC, NO LESS - IS AN INSANE ACT - WITHOUT ANY LEGAL PRECEDENT - WHICH MAKES US LESS SAFE.

HOLDER AND OBAMA SHOULD BE IMPEACHED FOR THIS.

WOW: BULGARIA'S PARLIAMENT DECLARES REGRET IT DIDN'T SAVE EVERY BULGARIAN JEW IN WW2

Bulgaria regrets failing to save thousands of Jews in WWII 

The Nazis rounded up Jews in the Balkans and sent them to death camps 

Bulgaria has expressed regret that more than 11,000 Jews were deported to Nazi concentration camps from areas under Bulgarian control during World War II. 

A Bulgarian parliament declaration did however praise Bulgarians for having blocked the deportation of more than 48,000 Jews during the war. 

It said it could "not be disputed that 11,343 Jews were deported from northern Greece and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia". 

Most Jews sent to the Nazi German death camps in Poland died.
Referring to the 11,343 deported, the MPs' declaration said "we denounce this criminal act, undertaken by Hitler's command, and express our regrets for the fact that the local Bulgarian administration had not been in a position to stop this act". 

Only a few hundred of those deportees survived, Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust Centre says. 

Yad Vashem lists 20 Bulgarians among its "Righteous Among the Nations" - individuals who acted to protect Jews from the Holocaust.

G-D BLESS THEM ALL.

In early 1943, Nazi officials requested that Bulgaria deport its Jewish population to German occupied Poland. The request caused a public outcry, and a campaign whose most prominent leaders were Parliament Vice-Chairman Dimitar Peshev and the head of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, Archbishop Stefan, was organized.[10][11] 

Following this campaign, Boris refused to permit the extradition of Bulgaria's 50,000 Jews.[12] Initially, the Bulgarian government, which he controlled, asked for a breakdown of the German plans for the eventual deportees, and was told that roughly one-half will be employed in agriculture in Greater Germany and one-fourth, reported to be semi-skilled laborers, will be allowed to redeem themselves by "volunteering to work" in the war industries of the Ruhr, while the remaining one-fourth will be transported to the Gouvernement General (German-occupied Poland) for employment in "work directly connected to the war". 

This information was also distributed to the neutral countries via German diplomatic channels and was reported on March 24, 1943 in the New York Times from Berne, Switzerland, along with the rather cynical statement that "the former death rate in the Jewish colonies of occupied Poland has shown a considerable decrease in the past three months", with the listed reason being that "now many of the male Jews are employed in army work near the fighting zones", and these receive approximately the same rations as German soldiers. 

Still hesitant to comply with the German deportation request, the Bulgarian government utilized Swiss diplomatic channels to inquire whether possible deportations of the Jews can happen to British-controlled Palestine by ships rather than to concentration camps in Poland by trains, for which the Germans requested a significant amount of money. However, this attempt was blocked by the British Foreign Minister, Anthony Eden.[13] 

Eventually, Boris did succumb to the German demand for the extradition of 11,343 Jews from those territories re-occupied by Bulgaria, but the extradition of the Jews from pre-war Bulgaria was stopped. 

These two decisions have led to a position today where a large number of people regard Boris as a hero for saving Bulgaria's Jews, and a large number revile him for condemning those from the occupied new territories. 

In point of fact, in war time Europe, the Jewish citizens of the new territories of Macedonia and Thrace were all under Hitler's direct jurisdiction, since they were not formally Bulgarian citizens. 

Under King Boris III, Bulgaria was the only nation in Europe to save its entire Jewish population during the Holocaust. Boris was one of the few world leaders who defied Hitler face to face during the war, refusing multiple times to deliver his Jewish citizens beyond the borders of his kingdom. [14][15]

G-D BLESS BORIS AND BULGARIA.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOMS COULD IMPROVE IN COALITION WITHOUT HAREDIS

The Jewish Week says there could be some very positive achievements in the new government coalition forming:

What if Israel had a coalition government that was not beholden to the fervently Orthodox parties’ hold on matters of marriage, divorce, conversion, and army exemptions for yeshiva students?

That possibility is beginning to appear likely, generating enthusiasm among the leaders of the liberal streams as well as the Modern Orthodox.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been trying these last few weeks since the national election to form a coalition that would include the haredi (or, ultra-Orthodox) parties that have supported him in the past in return for funding for their schools and projects, and control of the Interior Ministry, which deals with issues of religious law in citizens’ personal lives.

But the two surprise successes of the election, Yair Lapid of Yesh Atid and Naftali Bennett of the Jewish Home Party, have held firm to their post-election alliance, saying they would not join a government with the haredi parties. And it appears Netanyahu has little choice but to go along.

It would be the first government since 2003 formed without the haredi parties.

Rabbi Seth Farber, director of ITIM, an organization that promotes improved relations between religious and secular Jews in Israel, said Tuesday that he has met with many Knesset members and came away “cautiously optimistic.

“There is a lot of opportunity to move items on my group’s agenda forward,” he said. Shas, a haredi party, currently controls Israel’s Interior Ministry, which oversees immigration policy and rules on the contentious “Who is a Jew” issue.

In particular, he said, the new coalition might “widen the doors of conversion, particularly for immigrants from the former Soviet Union who face a high threshold to prove they are Jewish. We suggested in one of our meetings today that the new government enable couples to be recognized as Jews rather than being their adversary.”

Ammiel Hirsch, a Reform rabbi and spiritual leader of the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue in Manhattan, said bluntly: “Anything that distances haredi [fervently Orthodox] leaders from defining the religious character of the State of Israel is a good thing because they are non-democratic in character — and Israel is democratic — and they are non-pluralistic in a pluralistic Jewish world.”

Rabbi Hirsch added: “It is absurd that a non-Zionist force [the fervently Orthodox haredi] has become so influential in governments of the Zionist state.”

Hirsch may be a ray of light in a sect that's not known for being particularly favorable to Zionism, any more than the Haredis themselves are, which is pretty amazing.

WHAT KIND OF TEA PARTY GROUP IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE?

Robert Spencer was supposed to receive an award from some hosts at CPAC. But one of the sponsors didn't want to give it to him unless he abridged his free speech and refrained from criticizing Grover Norquist and Suhail Khan:

Islam analyst and author Robert Spencer was scheduled to be honored at the upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference, better known as CPAC, for his widely read blog JihadWatch.org, but he won’t be in attendance, he says, because of a speech restriction sponsors of the award placed on him.

JihadWatch.org was the overwhelming winner of CPAC’s People’s Choice Award, sponsored by Right Wing News and TheTeaParty.net.

Spencer said he received confirmation of the award Saturday night from one of the organizers. He had been promised that as a result of his award, there would be an announcement and special promotions of JihadWatch.org.

But as time went on and there was no announcement of the award, and the promotions didn’t materialize, he contacted the organizer and learned there was a problem.

Spencer was told that one of the co-sponsors of the award, TheTeaParty.net, didn’t want to allow him to receive the award at CPAC next week unless he promised not to criticize two board members of CPAC’s hosting organization, the American Conservative Union: Grover Norquist and Suhail Khan.

“I told the organizer that I couldn’t agree to that,” Spencer said.

And he's right not to. But this whole affair sheds light on how at least one so-called Tea Party organization is succumbing to dhimmitude and censoring free speech. What that bunch are doing also takes away the ability to clearly distinguish between left and right. This is exactly why nobody who cares about freedom for civilized society should attend CPAC anymore.

INFREAKINCREDIBLE: OBAMA BRINGING BIN LADEN'S SON TO NYC FOR A CIVILIAN TRIAL!?!?!??!?!

Sens. Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte, said Thursday the Obama administration's decision to bring Abu Ghaith to court in New York is wrong, "sneaky" and against the will of Congress.Graham says Abu Ghaith is clearly an enemy combatant and should have been sent straight to the Guantanamo Bay detainee facility in Cuba for extended questioning. Instead, he is expected to appear Friday morning in a federal court in New York City to face charges. 

"The Obama administration’s lack of a war-time detention policy for foreign members of al Qaeda, as well as its refusal to detain and interrogate these individuals at Guantanamo, makes our nation less safe," Graham and Ayotte said in a joint written statement. “We are at war with Al Qaeda and its affiliated groups, and America’s detention policy must reflect that reality."

BRINGING HIM TO THE USA - NYC NO LES!!!! - MAKES US LESS SAFE.

JUST LIKE OBAMA'S DECISION TO USE THE SEQUESTER TO LAYOFF 60,000 BORDER GUARDS AND ASSOCIATES IN BORDER CONTROL.

OBAMA SHOULD BE IMPEACHED - ALONG WITH HOLDER.

I AM AMAZED AND AGHAST THAT SCHUMER AND BLOOMBERG ARE ALLOWING THIS.

FRENCH ARMY ENTER DEEP INTO THE JIHADISTS' TERRITORY IN MALI

The French military is going in deeper to the haven-like areas where the al Qaeda dwell in Mali:

PARIS (Reuters) - French forces searching for al Qaeda-linked militants in the hidden valleys of the remote north of Mali are now deep in the Islamists' sanctuary, France's defense minister said on Friday.

A day after a visit to Mali, Jean-Yves Le Drian said the current phase of the eight-week-old French-led offensive was the hardest, as it required winkling the Islamist fighters out of entrenched positions in the Adrar des Ifoghas mountains.

French soldiers killed about 15 militants this week after discovering a small army of jihadists in the Ametetai valley.

Some 30 French soldiers were wounded in the operation and a French national fighting for the Islamists was taken prisoner, Le Drian told Europe 1 radio on Friday.

"Now it's a bit more difficult because we're in the sanctuary," Le Drian said. "We knew this part of Mali was potentially the sanctuary of AQIM (al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb), and we weren't wrong."

"The search is continuing as of yesterday afternoon in the other valleys, because the whole territory has to be cleaned out completely."

And if any POWs were taken, they have to make sure they rescue them. But so long as Islamism is around, even if they do scrub the valley of the al Qaeda, the dangers posed by Islamofascism could still come back.

THE SELF-APPOINTEES WHO USE THE LORD'S NAME IN VAIN

One of the 10 Commandments reads as "thou shalt not use God's name in vain". That's pretty much what the "modesty patrols" in the Satmar enclave of Williamsburg are doing, and which has now been covered by The Irish Times:

Reports recently began to surface of increasingly violent “modesty squads” that threaten Lee Avenue businesses for such matters as displaying mannequins.

Only one shop on Lee now displays mannequins. Most shop windows display nothing.

“Lee wasn’t always like that,” said an Orthodox Jewish journalist from Williamsburg who asked to not be named. “But other Jewish sects moved out and now it’s Satmar territory.” Iit’s a shame a small group of “zealots” enforcing a code of modesty is giving Hasidism a bad name, he said.

It's a shame the Satmar are too, what with their anti-Zionist stance.

The Central Rabbinical Congress of the United States and Canada, housed in Williamsburg, issues guidelines on modesty but said it does not explicitly enforce any code.

Unless they're a Satmar outfit, that is.

“This kind of thing has always happened, the idea of safeguarding the word of God and making sure tradition is passed down and obeyed,” the journalist explained, adding that a “culture of acquiescence” exists in Hasidism.

“If you have someone come to you or put up a poster telling you what not to do, it’s easier to just follow it and not bring trouble into your everyday life,” he said.

“It could mean bad business and who needs that when they’re trying to feed a family?”

Those behind the posters sprang into public view only in recent months, with the trial of Nechemya Weberman, a prominent member of the Satmar Hasidim sentenced to 103 years in prison in January for sexually abusing, over three years, a girl sent to him for counselling.

Modesty committees

He testified that children were regularly referred to him by “modesty committees” concerned about inappropriate attire and behaviour. Zealous members of these committees, who reportedly harass neighbours stepping out of line, have been dubbed “God’s police”. Orthodox Jews interviewed said that’s what the committee members think they’re doing: policing God’s word.

“It’s a small group that gained power from the fact that most people want to go about their daily lives,” said Rabbi Yankie Horowitz, a school principal who writes extensively about community abuse among Orthodox communities. “They’re emboldened by the inactive silent majority.”

Call it Kitty Genovese Syndrome, Haredi-style.

In Satmar Williamsburg it’s clear this majority prefers to live behind the veil of its customs and doesn’t really want to talk to you. There’s no way around sticking out like a sore thumb.

The irony of the Weberman trial was his membership in modesty patrols; and the great historical irony is that the Hasidim were once seen as the revolutionaries of Judaism.

But today, it's obvious that they're not. Not if their economic mindset was influenced by socialism, as per the way Russia was doing it.

HAREDI PARTIES MOVING MORE TO THE LEFT

Looks like this item has more valid concerns than previously thought. Now, they're signaling they'll support the left in revenge, and trying to sound as though it's all the entire right's fault:

"Until now, we aligned ourselves in the coalition only with the Right, but that is over," MK Moshe Gafni (United Torah Judaism) told Israel Hayom on Wednesday. "It is all about to change. Now we are supporting [Labor Chairwoman] Shelly Yachimovich, and in all honesty, our views are much closer to hers than to Orit Struck [of Habayit Hayehudi]."

Former Shas MK Shlomo Benizri also came out against Habayit Hayehudi on Wednesday, telling haredi radio station Kol Barama, "They [Habayit Hayehudi] are simply pushing the haredim directly into the arms of the Left. I hope they understand the implications of what they are doing right now."

In other words, if the Likud doesn't welcome them into the coalition and fulfill their ludicrous demands, they'll turn against not merely the party, but also the entire electorate who's already fed up with them and their uppity grandstanding. And, they make reprehensible threats to bring disaster upon everyone by taking steps that could hurt the "settlements" they never even stood behind to begin with because they were never truly dedicated to building this country, but rather, living in a vacuum. Some Torah scholars they are.

In related news, Likud and Yesh Atid have agreed that even Haredi schools need to teach core curriculum like math:

One issue that has been finalized in conversations between the negotiations teams of Likud and Yesh Atid is that of enforcing the teaching of core subjects such as English and math in all state-funded schools, notably ultra-Orthodox institutions that have thus far avoided these subjects, Maariv reported.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud-Beytenu party and Lapid’s Yesh Atid agreed that core subjects would be in the curriculum of all Israeli schools, the report said.

Subjects such as math and English have been largely ignored by ultra-Orthodox educational institutions, even those funded by the state. As such, they have been at the center of numerous debates regarding the allocation of state funds — a matter heavily addressed in the election platform of Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid party.

Let's hope they follow through on that standing. And the Haredi reps had better behave themselves and not act vindictive if funds are withdrawn from schools that don't comply.

UH-OH: END OF WORLD???: RUSSIA DISCOVERS NEW FORM OF BACTERIA IN SUB-ANTARCTIC LAKE

Russian scientists have claimed the discovery of a new type of bacterial life in water from a buried Antarctic lake. The researchers have been studying samples brought up from Vostok - the largest subglacial lake in Antarctica. Last year, the team drilled through almost 4km (2.34 miles) of ice to reach the lake and retrieve samples. Vostok is thought to have been cut off from the surface for millions of years. 

This has raised the possibility that such isolated bodies of water might host microbial life forms new to science. "After putting aside all possible elements of contamination, DNA was found that did not coincide with any of the well-known types in the global database," said Sergei Bulat, of the genetics laboratory at the St Petersburg Institute of Nuclear Physics. "We are calling this life form unclassified and unidentified," he explained.

 HMMM... A BACTERIA HUMANS HAVE NO POSSIBLE RESISTANCE TO.

GREAT.

UH-OH: NORTH KOREA CANCELS ALL PACTS, CLOSES HOTLINE AND SHUTS SHARED BORDER...

North Korea says it is scrapping all non-aggression pacts with South Korea, closing its hotline with Seoul and shutting their shared border point. The announcement follows a fresh round of UN sanctions punishing Pyongyang for its nuclear test last month. Earlier, Pyongyang said it reserved the right to a pre-emptive nuclear strike against its "aggressors". The US said it took the threats seriously, but that "extreme rhetoric" was not unusual for Pyongyang.

After ruining Afghanistan and Iraq and Syria and Libya and Egypt and Mali  Obama has set his eyes on Asia.

VICTIM OF ACID ATTACK IN NAZARETH WAS ALSO RAPED

The teenage girl who was attacked with acid for turning down the marriage proposal of an older man in Nazareth had also been raped some time before the horror that took place last month:

A Nazareth teen whose eyes and face were burned in an acid attack last month, was also the victim of sexual and physical abuse by the two main suspects for several months, police reported on Wednesday.

The new development came to light on Tuesday, after the 16-year-old victim told police that the two men had subjected her to months of abuse before the attack last month. The victim had only awoken from her anesthesia last week.

On Wednesday, the two suspects will be brought for their third remand extension, and in the coming days police expect they will be indicted for charges that now include rape and aggravated sexual assault of a minor in addition to the other charges already in the case.

One of the suspects is the girl’s middle-aged neighbor, who had repeatedly hounded her with wedding proposals, and stalked her around Nazareth for well over a year, before he carried out his threat to hurt her for rejecting his advances. The man has denied the allegations against him.

At Rambam Medical Center in Haifa last month, the girl’s mother said the man’s harassment of her daughter had become worse over the past month or so, and that every day he would follow her around and demand she marry him.

The mother said that on the night of the attack, she heard her daughter screaming and ran into her room as she was splashing water in her face to clear the acid. The daughter was yelling, “he did it, he burned me.”

Prof. Eitan Blumenthal, head of the ophthalmology department at Rambam, said on Wednesday that doctors hope to be able to repair some of the girl’s vision in one of her eyes, but that the other eye is probably lost for good.

Blumenthal estimated that the girl will remain hospitalized for at least another two weeks, and said of the incident, “This is one of the most difficult cases we’ve dealt with in the department, not only because of the injuries but also the tragic circumstances in which they took place.”

Northern District head Asst.-Ch. Roni Atia, who set up a task force to investigate the attack, said on Wednesday “this is a very grave incident involving physical and emotional injury to a young girl with her whole life ahead of her. Criminals like this deserve to be behind bars for a very long time.”

More than that - they deserve to be in solitary or go to the chair. I hope the girl can get plastic surgery if her skin's been badly injured, and the culprits should be forced to pay tons of money to cover the costs.

IN FRANCE, A TRIAL BEGINS FOR MUSLIM MOTHER WHO PUT T-SHIRT ON HER INFANT STATING HE WAS A BOMB

A mother has gone on trial in southern France for sending her son to nursery school wearing a T-shirt reading "I am a bomb" and "Born on 11 September". 

Bouchra Bagour, 35, was reported to police by the teacher last September, and charged with "glorifying crime". At the start of her trial in Avignon, she denied defending terrorism. Ms Bagour's brother - who gave the T-shirt to her three-year-old son named Jihad - is a co-defendant in the case and also denies the charge. The garment, which the boy wore to school in Sorgues near Avignon on 24 September, read "I am a bomb" on the front and "Jihad, born on 11 September" on the back. 

On Wednesday Ms Bagour told the court she had put it on him "without stopping to think about it". She insisted it was not meant as a provocation and stressed that her son had been born on 11 September.
Zeyad Bagour said he had never sought to defend any cause by buying the T-shirt. "It's the day his birth I wanted to highlight, not the year," he told the court.

MALACHY PREDICTED THE NAME OF EVERY POPE FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS.

THE PROPHECY ACCURATELY PREDICTED THE NAME OF RATZINGER - BENEDICT.

ACCORDING TO THE PROPHECY, THE NEXT POPE WILL BE POPE PETER.

AND DURING HIS REIGN, ROME IS UTTERLY DESTROYED.

GULP.

HUFFPO:

The "Prophecy of the Popes" is attributed to St. Malachy, an Irish archbishop who was canonized a saint in 1190, according to Discovery News. In his predication, dated 1139, Malachy prophesied that there would be 112 more popes before Judgment Day. Benedict is supposedly the 111th pope.

The foretelling offers brief descriptions about each pope, and some of them appear to align with reality in some way. For example, Benedict is apparently denoted as the "glory of the olive," and the Olivetans are affiliated with Benedictine Order, NBC Newsnotes.

Curiously, the "Prophecy of Popes" stops at the 112th pope and ends with a cryptic warning of doomsday.

In the extreme persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit ... Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations: and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the terrible judge will judge his people. The End.

Following Benedict's resignation, theorists began questioning if Malachy might actually be right.

However, although Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana might bear the same name as the person mentioned in the prophecy, there are no Roman-born cardinals in the running to be Benedict's successor.

"There are no Pietros among the living cardinals; two Pierres (as second name): Nasrallah Pierre Sfeir and Jean-Pierre Ricard; and one Pedro: Rubiano Sáenz," according to librarian Salvador Miranda, creator and producer of the website The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church.

FWIW: PETER TURKSON IS THE FAVORITE RIGHT NOW.

EXAMINE HIS LAST NAME:

TURK-SON.

TURKEY IS WHERE BYZANTIUM WAS.

BYZANTIUM IS AN HISTORIOGRPAHIC NAME.

THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE WERE ALL CHRISTIANS BEFORE HE MUSLIMS INVADED.

AND THEY CALLED THEIR COUNTRY THE ROMAN EMPIRE.

TURKSON IS ROMANUS.

GLOBAL STOCK MARKETS REACH RECORD HIGHS... AS SOVEREIGN DEBT AND CURRENCIES ARE ABOUT TO IMPLODE

WHAT WE'RE SEEING - WITH GLOBAL MARKETS REACHING RECORD HIGHS -  IS NOT ANY INDICATION OF FUNDAMENTALLY GOOD COMMERCIAL OR GOOD ECONOMIC NEWS.

WHAT WE ARE SEEING IS A RESULT OF QE3 AND OTHER CENTRAL BANKS PRINTING TRILLIONS - YES TRILLIONS - OF SOON TO BE  WORTH-LESS DOLLARS AND EUROS.

• OIL AND ENERGY IS VERY EXPENSIVE.
• UNEMPLOYMENT GROWS GLOBALLY.
• INFLATION CREEPS STEADILY UP ON FOOD.
• AND IF INTEREST RATES GO UP, THEN THE MARKETS CRASH AND THE SOVEREIGN DEBTS BECOME CATASTROPHIC.

I EXPECT OBAMA TO ATTACK IRAN AND USE THAT AS AN EXCUSE FOR THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC MELTDOWN, AND HE'LL TRY TO PORTRAY HIMSELF AS THE PROTECTOR OF THE FREE WORLD.

RECENTLY, PUTIN BOUGHT 570 METRIC TONS - YES TONS - AS A HEDGE.

HE DID SO BECAUSE WHEN THE ESS HITS THE EFF ONLY GOLD WILL BE WORTH ANYTHING.

AND LEAD...

I EXPECT ALL THIS TO HAPPEN THIS SUMMER... A CRASH AND WAR WITH IRAN.

SIGH...

OBAMA COMMITS AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENCE: ORDER EXECUTRIVE BRANCH TO MAKE THE SEQUESTER S PAINFUL AS POSSIBLE, VIOLATING HIS OATH TO

In the email sent Monday by Charles Brown, an official with the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service office in Raleigh, N.C., Mr. Brown asked “if there was any latitude” in how to spread the sequester cuts across the region to lessen the impacts on fish inspections. 

He said he was discouraged by officials in Washington, who gave him this reply: “We have gone on record with a notification to Congress and whoever else that ‘APHIS would eliminate assistance to producers in 24 states in managing wildlife damage to the aquaculture industry, unless they provide funding to cover the costs.’ So it is our opinion that however you manage that reduction, you need to make sure you are not contradicting what we said the impact would be.” 

“This email confirms what many Americans have suspected: The Obama administration is doing everything they can to make sure their worst predictions come true and to maximize the pain of the Sequester cuts for political gain,” said Rep. Tim Griffin, Arkansas Republican.

THIS ORDER VIOLATES OBAMA'S OATH TO "FAITHFULLY EXECUTE THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT OF THE UNTIED STATES".

HIS ACTIONS VIOLATES THAT OATH BECAUSE THEY PROVE HE IS UNWORTHY OF TRUST AND IS NOT SEEKING TO EXECUTE HIS OFFICE FOR THE PUBLIC WELFARE, BUT INSTEAD FOR HIS PERSONAL POLITICAL GAIN.

BY SEEKING TO MAKE THE CUTS HURT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE - AND NOT AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE - HE HAS EXPOSED HIMSELF AS A SELF-SERVING PIECE OF CRAP WHO'D RATHER WIN A POLITICAL DEBATE THAN HELP AMERICANS.

THIS CREEP SHOULD BE IMPEACHED.

THE ISLAMIZATION OF BRITAIN

Enza Fererri wrote about the increasing Islamization of England:

I came to live in London from Italy in 1984, and the changes I witnessed since then are earth-shattering.

When I first arrived here, the word “halal” was unknown to everybody except the people involved in animal welfare, who knew that the Islamic method of slaughter was bad news indeed for the animals. Now you only have to take a 30-minute drive around London (any part) and you’ll see dozens of Halal signs in shops and restaurants. In the area where I live in West London, which is by no means a Muslim ghetto because many non-Muslim whites and blacks reside here, in the street you see women whose attire would make the strictest Taliban happy — or at least you think they must be women, since all you can see is a walking robe with no eyes.

The following are some among the myriad examples of Muslim intolerance and lack of integration, stealth jihad and creeping sharia in the United Kingdom.

A few years ago a Muslim policeman refused to wear his uniform due to the presence of a cross on it.

The typical phenomenon of Muslim men grooming young white girls, for years denounced only by right-wing groups who as a result were accused of racism and Islamophobia, turned out to be real and now the mainstream media have started covering it.

There have been instances of Muslim girls rejecting their school uniform and demanding to wear Muslim clothing, sometimes even suing the school using the European Convention on Human Rights and winning the case.

Muslim bus and taxi drivers have not allowed blind people in their vehicles with their “unclean” guide dogs, and Muslim passengers have objected to them.

British legislation, bending over backwards to accommodate Sharia, has permitted conflicts and contradictions with long-established jurisprudence. Polygamy, despite being forbidden by British law, is now de facto part of it due to a change in the inheritance law which lets multiple wives inherit from their husband.

Similarly, a loophole created by the previous Labour government allows Muslims to take a property mortgage without paying interest, which also makes it cheaper for them and has now been exploited by non-Muslims who discovered it, causing a minor uproar.

In the UK the police are afraid of Muslims. There have been cases caught on video of Muslim demonstrators pelting the police with sticks and traffic cones and taunting them with shouts of “kuffar” (Islamic epithet for infidels), as the police retreated in front of their tormentors.

Where will it end? With the UK's complete adherence to Islam, or an ability to finally find a spine? The answer is surely a long way off, but when it arrives, I've got a feeling we won't like what it turns out to be.
