EGYPT APPROVES A NEW CONSTITUTION

One that's hopefully not what the Islamofascists would like. The Financial Times reports:

A constitution backed by the military and the interim government installed after last year’s coup was approved by 98.1 per cent of Egyptian voters, officials announced on Saturday.

In a televised press briefing, election officials confirmed that 38.6 per cent of eligible voters turned out for the polls in the referendum earlier this week, higher than the 32.9 per cent of voters that turned out for the referendum on a constitution backed by the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists ousted in the popularly-backed July coup. Nabil Salib, chairman of the Egypt’s election commission, praised voters and the tens of thousands of security forces who secured the vote.

“Do not worry about Egypt, it has special standing for God,” he said in a speech broadcast on television. “It is mentioned in the Quran, the Bible, and the Torah. Remember the heroes of your army. They have restored hope in our future and protected Egypt.”

Only about 380,000 of 53.4m registered voted against the constitution, reflecting a strident call by the Brotherhood and its supporters to boycott the process, as well as a campaign of harassment and intimidation by security forces against those calling for a ‘no’ vote.

The constitution, drafted by a 50-member panel largely devoid of Islamists and appointed by the military-installed president, Adly Mansour, remains controversial, granting the armed forces broad autonomy and privileges. But it also bolsters rights of religious minorities, women, children and the disabled when compared to the Brotherhood’s constitution.

Now that's something to brighten a day. But I'm honestly irked by Salib's citing the Koran, because it wouldn't approve of what the army's helped to bring about. Though I am flattered he brought up the Bible and Torah in his speech.

MCKINSEY: OBAMACARE A TOTAL FAILURE

McKinsey & Co. found that only 11 percent of consumers who purchased new coverage under ObamaCare were previously uninsured. 

OBAMACARE IS A TOTAL FAILURE;

IT DOES NOT ACCOMPLISH WHAT IT SET OUT TO - WHAT THEY PROMISED IT WOULD ACCOMPLISH,

AND IT RUINS THINGS THAT WERE JUST FINE.

REPEAL IT.

AND IMPEACH THE LYING BASTARD WHO SIGNED IT INTO LAW.

WE CAN DO BOTH IF WE ELECT A GOP SENATE THIS NOVEMBER.

TWO 15-YEAR-OLDS FROM FRANCE JOIN THE SYRIAN JIHAD

Next in line to join the Syrian jihad and throw away their lives are two teenage boys from France:

Two French 15-year-olds have left France to join Islamist militants in the fight against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, one of their fathers and the Toulouse prosecutor said on Friday.

"I've informed the Paris anti-terrorist prosecutor because the two boys made their intention clear that they would travel to Syria via Turkey," prosecutor Michel Valet told Reuters.

French officials say they are increasingly worried about their own nationals travelling abroad to fight in Syria's civil war and one day returning to plot attacks at home.

Well that's why even younger creeps like the twosome in focus here should not be allowed back into Europe, definitely not without being sent to a psychologist. Note that these jihadists are from Toulouse, where the anti-semitic murder took place a few years ago. They're right to be concerned, and they better be.

TAMMANY HALL, THE CHICAGO MACHINE AND FAUST

TERRY GOLWAY, TODAY IN A NYTIMES OP-ED:

Tammany Hall certainly was guilty of many of the offenses arraigned against it. But those flaws should not overshadow Tammany’s undoubted virtues. The machine succeeded not simply because it could round up votes. It succeeded because it was unafraid of the grunt work of retail politics and because it rarely lost touch with its voters. 

(Terry Golway is the author of the forthcoming book “Machine Made: Tammany Hall and the Creation of Modern American Politics.”) 

LAST JULY HE WROTE:

Tammany politicians made fortunes off graft, and some were associated with gangsters. Richard Croker, Tammany’s boss from 1886 to the early 20th Century, became a millionaire through his political connections. And Tammany’s most-famous boss, Bill Tweed, remains the poster boy of political corruption, nearly 140 years after his death. 

But supporters of the landmark designation needn’t apologize for Tammany Hall’s place in New York history. The political machine that made its home there helped to create a new kind of politics in New York that was popular, pluralistic and progressive. As one speaker, attorney and historian James Kaplan, reminded the commission, the history of Tammany Hall is linked to the history of progressive social welfare reforms, from workers’ compensation to minimum wage laws to the New Deal itself, during the 1920s and ‘30s.

GOLWAY IS JUSTIFYING CORRUPTION.

WHY?

BECAUSE THE CORRUPT HELPED HIS ETHNIC GROUP, THE IRISH.

HE ACCEPTS THEIR CORRUPTION BECAUSE THE CORRUPT DID HIS TRIBE A FAVOR.

THAT'S A FAUSTIAN BARGAIN.

THAT'S HOW THE CORRUPT SEDUCE THE INNOCENT, AND JUSTIFY THEIR EVIL. 

HE'S DEFENDING THE FAUSTIAN BARGAIN THAT MEMBERS OF THE MACHINE (BE IT TAMMANY HALL OR CHICAGO) HAVE MADE IN THEIR OWN PERSONAL CORRUPT LIVES AND WHICH THEY INSIST UPON FOISTING ON THE REST OF US. 

BLAGO AND OBAMA AND RAHM AND JARRETT ALL ROSE TO PERSONAL POWER BY SELLING THEIR SOULS TO THE MACHINE, TO SCUM LIKE REZKO AND WORSE.

THEY JUSTIFY IT IN THEIR OWN MINDS BY ARGUING THAT IN THE END SOME SOCIAL GOOD WAS PRODUCED - MOSTLY FOR THEIR POLITICAL SUPPORTERS AND THE MACHINE, BUT ALSO FOR SOME OTHERWISE "DOWNTRODDEN" GROUP FOR WHOM THEY (SO THEY ARGUE) ARE THE ONLY HOPE.

IT'S BASICALLY THE SAME ARGUMENT DAVID AXELROD USED TO DEFEND THE CHICAGO MACHINE IN A 2005 OP-ED.

LIBERALS AND LEFTISTS REALLY BELIEVE THIS; THEY BELIEVE YOU HAVE TO BREAK EGGS TO MAKE AN OMELET.

THIS IS WHY THEY ARE ROTTEN TO THEIR CORE: THEY'VE MADE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL. AND THEY LIKE IT.

AND IT'S WHY THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM MAKING MORE AND MORE AND MORE CORRUPT AND IMMORAL DEALS -

• LIKE WASTING BILLIONS OF TAXPAYER MONEY ON GM AND CHRYSLER TO SAVE THE PENSIONS AND HEALTHCARE DEALS FOR THE UAW...

• LIKE EXPLOITING TRUMPED UP FEAR OVER THE "IMPENDING MAN-MADE CLIMATE CATASTROPHE" IN ORDER TO GAIN CONTROL OVER THE "MEANS OF PRODUCTION" AND SIMULTANEOUSLY USE THE HUGE BOONDOGGLES BUILT UPON THIS FEAR TO STEER MONEY TO THEIR CRONIES AND TO PARTS OF THEIR MACHINE.

• LIKE RELAXING SANCTIONS ON IRAN AND LETTING THEM GO NUCLEAR...

• LIKE ABANDONING MUBARAK, SUPPORTING THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, CEDING LIBYA AND SYRIA AND PARTS OF IRAQ AND PARTS OF AFGHANISTAN BACK TO THE ISLAMISTS. 

• FOR IF YOU CAN MAKE A DEAL WITH MEPHISTOPHELES, THEN YOU CAN CERTAINLY HAVE MAOIST ADVISORS, ADVISORS WHO FAVOR FORCED ABORTIONS AND MASS STERILIZATION, AND MAKE DEALS WITH THE TALIBAN, IRANIAN AYATOLLAHS...

AND OF COURSE, YOU'LL HAVE NO PROBLEM LYING OVER AND OVER AGAIN ABOUT OBAMACARE:

THEY SERVE THE MACHINE AND SUCCUMB OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO THE EVER-BURGEONING NEEDS GENERATED FROM THEIR FAUSTIAN BARGAIN.

A BARGAIN THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE THE MASTERS OF, BUT THEY ARE NOT THE MASTERS.

THEY SERVE EVIL.

THEY ARE LOST SOULS.

LIKE FAUST.

IN SUMMARY:

MACHINE POLITICIANS HAVE MADE THEIR OWN FAUSTIAN BARGAIN, AND THEY INSIST WE DO TOO. 

THEY JUSTIFY THE FAUSTIAN BARGAIN BY ARGUING THAT IN THE END SOME SOCIAL GOOD WAS PRODUCED, BUT MOSTLY WHATEVER THEY DO IS MOSTLY FOR THEIR POLITICAL SUPPORTERS AND THE MACHINE. 

BUT THEY ARGUE IT IS FOR SOME "NOBLE" AND "PROGRESSIVE" ENTERPRISE... 

OR A "DOWNTRODDEN" GROUP FOR WHOM THEY (SO THEY ARGUE) ARE THE ONLY HOPE. 

AND IF YOU OPPOSE THEM, THEN YOU OPPOSE NOBLE PROGRESS AND SUPPORT REPRESSION OF THE DOWNTRODDEN. 

THEY SAY - IN EFFECT, ON BEHALF OF MEPHISTOPHELES: 

"IF WE'D JUST SELL THEM OUR SOULS, THEN EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY." 

THEY DENY THIS, OF COURSE, AND COUNTER: 

"IF YOU LIKE YOUR SOUL, THEN YOU CAN KEEP YOUR SOUL." 

WE KNOW HOW THAT ENDS...

MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR DEVAL PATRICK'S "CLIMATE CHANGE" POLICIES INADVERTENTLY REVEAL THAT "CLIMATE CHANGE" IS A LEFTIST HOAX

JANUARY 15, 2014 - BOSTON MAGAZINE:

Massachusetts is beefing up protections for residents prone to flooding and extreme weather conditions due to climate change, so they can better prepare and cope with any emergencies that may arise from stormy conditions. 

During a press conference at the New England Aquarium on Tuesday, Governor Deval Patrick announced that officials would inject $52 million into resources to assess and address vulnerabilities in public health, transportation, and energy statewide. 

“Recent storms and related outages serve as a reminder that it is critical we secure our energy grid to endure more extreme weather patterns,” Patrick said. 

The grant money will go toward capital funds for coastline projects, inter-agency assessments of state parks and transportation infrastructures, as well as backing up the grid so people don’t go without power for days on end. 

Citing the unusual weather changes all across the country in the last two years—including tropical storms and out-of-season snowstorms in October in Massachusetts—Patrick said more needs to be done to be on guard. 

He also discussed the progression of wind energy efficiency and solar-powered projects that have advanced since he first took office. “That’s all good, but we must do more,” he said, citing the need to implement further change in dealing with blistering weather conditions. “Billions of dollars [have been spent] on disaster relief. Sea level rises of 1 to 6 feet would put thousands of lives at risk in Boston alone. The question is not whether we need to act, we are passed that. [The] climate is changing, and human activity is contributing to that change. Massachusetts needs to be ready.”

JANUARY 15, 2014 - BOSTON HERALD:

The feds are being urged to “slow down” on rolling out new federal flood-zone maps that critics contend will saddle Bay State residents with enormous insurance bills. 

“FEMA has these new maps which go into effect really soon, and in some cases, are already being used by insurers as a model for their rates. And our appeal to FEMA is, slow down,” Gov. Deval Patrick said yesterday as he discussed details of new state climate-change programs. 

Patrick’s comments put him publicly in league with Attorney General Martha Coakley, House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo and other lawmakers who have spoken out against the changes. Coakley and DeLeo, for example, have filed legislation to limit coastal homeowners’ insurance bills under the new federal guidelines. Others are calling on Congress to delay implementation of the new maps. 

Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs Rick Sullivan said he plans to meet with Massachusetts emergency-management officials on ways to limit new sky-high bills. 

“It has obviously become a priority, and the governor has been very clear and is directing me to look for the relief in terms of implementation of the rates,” Sullivan said.

HUH...

SO... WHAT GOVERNOR  DEVAL PATRICK IS SAYING I THAT "CLIMATE CHANGE" IS SO GRAVE THAT THE STATE MUST RAISE REVENUES AND RAISE SPENDING ON BIG NEW BOONDOGGLES AND PORK-BARREL PROJECTS...

BUT...

THAT THE RICH VOTERS WHO OWN EXPENSIVE HOMES ON THE COAST SHOULDN'T BE REQUIRED TO PAY MORE FOR THEIR INSURANCE.

DEVAL PATRICK WANTS TO HAVE HIS CAKE AND EAT IT TOO.

DEVAL PATRICK IS OKAY WITH CREATING FEAR AND TRUMPING UP "CLIMATE CHANGE" IN ORDER TO EXPLOIT THAT FEAR IN ORDER TO PASS BIG NEW EXPENSIVE PROJECTS HIS CRONIES CAN MAKE MONEY ON...

BUT....

HE DOESN'T WANT THAT FEAR TO EXTEND TO THE HOMEOWNERS AND THEIR INSURANCE COMPANIES; HE WANTS THEM TO BE FREE AND CLEAR OF ANY INCREASED COSTS.

WELL... IF THE THREAT OF FLOODING IS  REAL ENOUGH FOR TAXPAYERS TO PAY FOR BIG NEW PROJECTS, THEN THE THREAT OF FLOODING MUST BE REAL ENOUGH FOR THOSE HOMEOWNERS TO PAY MORE FOR THEIR INSURANCE.

I THINK THAT THOSE COASTAL HOMEOWNERS -

SOME OF WHOM OWN HOMES IN NANTUCKET (LIKE KERRY)... 

AND SOME OF WHOM VACATION IN EXPENSIVE HOMES ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD, (LIKE THE OBAMA'S)...  

OR HAVE "FAMILY COMPOUNDS" IN HYANNIS PORT, (LIKE THE KENNEDY'S)... 

ARE BIG FINANCIAL BACKERS OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IN MASSACHUSETTS ...

AND GOVERNOR DEVAL PATRICK IS DUTY BOUND NOT TO SCREW THEM AS HE TRIES TO SCREW THE TAXPAYERS...

AND FUNNEL MONEY TO THE DEMOCRAT PARTY MACHINE.

THE WHOLE DANG ENTIRE "CLIMATE CHANGE CATASTROPHE" IS REALLY JUST A HOAX THE LEFT IS USING TO FOIST SOCIALIST POLICIES UPON US ALL, AND MAKE A PROFIT FOR THEIR CRONIES ALONG THE WAY.

WE CAN STOP THEM THIS NOVEMBER.

IN FACT, IT'S NOVEMBER OR NEVER.

(ASIDE: A REMINDER: DEVAL PATRICK IS MANAGED BY CHICAGO MACHINIST DAVID AXELROD.)

ADDENDUM: BTW: BIG STORMS ARE NOT INCREASING IN SIZE OR FREQUENCY. NOT HURRICANES, NOT TORNADOES. SAYING THEY HAVE IS A LIE.

IF THE LEFT DIDN'T LIE, THEN THEY'D HAVE NOTHING TO SAY.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS A HOAX DESIGNED TO PASS SOCIALIST POLICIES AND ENRICH THE DEMOCRAT MACHINE.

MORE EVIDENCE OF THE MORAL DECADENCE OF EUROPE AND AN EXPLANATION OF WHY THEY'RE BEING SUCCESSFULLY COLONIZED

ABN Amro chairman Gerrit Zalm has tried a novel approach to making corporate speeches more interesting. The former Dutch finance minister dressed up as his fictional sister "Priscilla" and regaled the bank's staff with tales of "her" experience running brothels. 

The innuendo-laden speech, delivered in Dutch, was aimed at explaining the bank's "core values and business principles", a spokesman said. 

Up to 6,000 staff heard the speech. The bank's 23,000 employees might need cheering up, given its ignominious fall from grace several years ago. The once powerful Amsterdam-based bank came a cropper after reckless international expansion made it vulnerable to takeover.

THIS PROVES THE MORAL DECADENCE OF EUROPE AND SHOWS WHY EUROPE IS VULNERABLE TO TAKEOVER - BY ISLAMISTS WITH ZEAL.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE A CULTURE WORTH DEFENDING, IF YOU MOCK THE BASIC VALUES AND INSTITUTIONS THAT BIND SOCIETY, THEN YOU CANNOT DEFEND YOURSELVES FROM A CULTURAL ATTACK.

EUROPE IS NOT DEFENDING ITSELF AND WILL IN A FEW DECADES LOOK MORE LIKE TURKEY OR LEBANON OR...  SYRIA, THAN IT DOES AMERICA.

UNESCO CANCELS A PRO-ISRAEL EVENT

This is no surprise, since they did approve of welcoming the PLO to their membership:

Days before it was scheduled to open, the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization cancelled an exhibit in Paris entitled, “The People, The Book, the Land: The 3,500-year relationship between the Jewish people and the land of Israel.”

The exhibit, created by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, was co-sponsored by Israel, Canada, and Montenegro. SWC worked closely with UNESCO on the exhibit since 2011, when UNESCO accepted Palestine as a member state, the first UN body to do so.

They made a serious mistake working with the UN.

The Wiesenthal Center is slated to hold a press conference on Monday to discuss the cancellation.

Nimrod Barkan, Israel’s ambassador to UNESCO, said that the excuse to shelve the event was “mean and stupid,” according to Israel Radio.

In an interview with Algemeiner, SWC Dean Marvin Hier called the moved an “absolute outrage.”

“The Arabs don’t want the world to know that the Jews have a 3,500-year relationship to the Land of Israel.”

More of Rabbi Marvin Hier's response is here:

Failure to open the exhibit as planned, warned the dean of the Wiesenthal Center, Rabbi Marvin Hier, would “confirm to the world that UNESCO is the official address of the Arab narrative in the Middle East.” [...]

“Let’s be clear,” Hier wrote in his letter to Bokova, “the Arab Group’s protest is not over any particular content in the exhibition, but rather the very idea of it – that the Jewish people did not come to the Holy Land only after the Nazi Holocaust, but trace their historical and cultural roots in that land for three-anda- half millennia. If anything will derail hopes for peace and reconciliation among the people of the Middle East, it will be by surrendering to the forces of extremism and torpedoing the opening of this exhibition – jointly vetted and co-organized by UNESCO and the Simon Wiesenthal Center.”

This is just another reason why Israel should not be part of the UN. It may not matter so much, since the SWC should be trying to arrange an exhibition with local political/educational outfits, and not with such a corrupt, repellent world body.

American Studies Association announces boycott of Chinese universities over Tibet. NOT!

VDH: It is hardly anti-Semitic to focus on problems between Israel and the Palestinians, or even to pressure the Israelis, but it becomes so when problems elsewhere are simply ignored and Israel alone is singled out to be chastised.

• Is the U.N. focused on the 13 million Germans who were ethnically cleansed from Eastern Europe about the same time that thousands of Palestinians left what became Israel? 
• Would the American Studies Association boycott Chinese universities over the absorption of Tibet?
• Is the world really troubled about divided capitals like Jerusalem? If so, why not an international conference on the Turkish occupation of a divided Nicosia?
• Can Kerry not use shuttle diplomacy to settle who owns all those disputed rocky islands that have led China and Japan to the brink of war?

ANYONE WHO HOLDS ISRAEL TO A SEPARATE STANDARD OF BEHAVIOR FROM ALL OTHER NATIONS IS NOT MERELY AN ANTI-ZIONIST; THEY ARE ANTISEMITES.

IT IS ONCE AGAIN THE MAJORITY POSITION IN THE WORLD.

SIGH.

THE STEALTH RECONQUISTA OF CALIFORNIA IS NEARLY COMPLETE

The Latino population is projected to surpass that of whites in California in March to become the single largest “race or ethnic group,” according to a report on shifting demographics in Gov. Jerry Brown’s 2014-15 budget proposal.  

Also, the number of residents 65 and older will jump by 20.7 percent over the next five years, the report said. State demographers expected Latinos to surpass the non-Hispanic white population seven months earlier...

ADIOS CALIFORNIA.

BIENVENIDOS NORTH MEXICO.

AND IT WILL ONLY SPEED THE DECLINE OF THE STATE.

BTW/ASIDE:

ISLAMISTS ARE DOING THE SAME THING IN EUROPE - GRADUALLY TAKING OVER VIA DEMOGRAHICS.

AT A CERTAIN POINT, AN ISLAMIST PARTY WILL WIN CONTROL OF A EUROPEAN NATION'S PARLIAMENT.

JUST LIKE THE AKP.

AND THEN, EUROPE WILL BEGIN ITS FINAL DESCENT ONTO ANOTHER DARK AGE...

(ISLAM CAUSED THE FIRST ONE! MORE HERE, AND MORE HERE, TOO. AND THEN THERE'S THIS.)

LEV TAHOR IS INFLUENCING THE CHILDREN IN THEIR GRASP TO SOB-STORY TO PRESS

They sent some letters to the Toronto Star which may or may not be written by the children in their sick grasp:

Three of the children at the heart of a case involving the removal of 14 kids from the controversial Lev Tahor sect have spoken out for the first time, in two handwritten letters sent to the Toronto Star.

The letters mark the first time children or parents who are the subject of the action have spoken publicly. A 17-year-old, who has an infant daughter herself, sent scans of letters handwritten by herself and two other children, expressing their fear and confusion about the ongoing litigation surrounding their families.

“When children are removed from their parents, it is because they are in danger. But my daughter and siblings are in no danger at all! How will the damage ever be able to be corrected should this ever happen? My heart’s cry must be heard,” the 17-year-old mother wrote in the five-page note.

I have no doubt their pervert cult leader was behind this. It's terrible that these poor children are being exploited psychologically to bawl to the press about being victims of outside "persecution" rather than the inside persecution. As the Montreal Gazette's noted, the children in the cult are forced to take drugs, and some of those could be used to influence them psychologically. This is abuse at its worst.

The Toronto Star's published the testimony of a former member who was lucky to escape with his wife. There's a legitimate fear the Quebec authorities have that the cult might commit mass suicide, children included, one more reason why they must be stopped.

Update: CBC reports that the children are taught to fear the outer world:

At the November youth court hearing, several social workers described a cult-like atmosphere where members were isolated from the greater community and tightly controlled by the group’s leadership.

“Those children are afraid of the outside world,” one social worker told the youth court.

“Children confirmed to us that they are afraid of burning in hell if, for example, they are not modest enough.”

I've heard over the past 2 decades of at least a few stories like this, where cultish religious demagogues teach people they'll "burn in hell" if they don't conform to certain standards of dress, rather than certain standards of morale in how they treat the fellow human beings. It's disgusting in the extreme.

AV CLUB FAILS TO COMPREHEND THE ISSUES AT HAND WITH NEW MS. MARVEL

The AV Club's been paying lip service to "All-New Marvel Now", which they say is a spotlight for "stylistic diversity" and when they get to the part about the Muslim Ms. Marvel, they say:

Wilson and Alphona’s relaunch of Ms. Marvel starring a Muslim teenage girl has proven to be one of the most controversial announcements of All-New Marvel Now!, and the fact that it’s garnered such a heated reaction shows just how difficult a battle this creative team faces. Frankly, it’s sad that many superhero comic-book fans are unwilling to accept a character that comes from a drastically different background than most heroes, and the short story in Point One shows how Kamala Khan’s circumstances make her stand out without completely defining her personality. Half of the plot shows Kamala in battle as the new Ms. Marvel, using her shape-shifting, size-changing powers to fight a monster made of trash in a New Jersey junkyard, while the other half has her racing to her cousin’s mehndi (pre-wedding party), a cultural event that is refreshing to see depicted in a superhero comic. The story does remarkable working capturing the conflict between Kamala’s costumed and civilian life, and the restrictions and expectations placed on her at home make the superhero scene feel like a true moment of liberation for the character.

"Drastically"? I think it's clear that, were Marvel and DC to introduce a boilerplate communist/anti-Judeo-Christian/atheist/marxist/Scientologist/socialist/fascist character into their pages, all the while depicting the mindset in a completely positive light, they'd lash out at any and all who dare utter even the slightest criticism for trivializing bad ideologies. Until this rather ambiguous commentary, I had no idea the writers for the AV Club were this dumb.

The monster she fights in a junkyard made of trash sounds laughable, and brings to mind a fantasy sequence from Calvin and Hobbes where the the 6-year-old daydreamer thinks he's battling a monster made of old leaves. And no matter what "restrictions and expectations" they bring up in the story, there's no chance they'll ever deal with them convincingly. The artwork featured from the book they talk about is unimpressive, typical of various modern comics that have very little feel for superhero and adventure comics, drawn pretty stiffly.

I don't think Marvel withdrew their pamphlets from mainstream bookstores because they were embarrassed of what knowledgable people would think if they saw this, but it shouldn't be too hard to guess that a lot of the copies would gather dust as not only realists wouldn't want to buy it, even hardcore Islamists wouldn't particularly care. As noted before, there's a lot of reasons why this isn't bound to be the runaway success they must want it to be.

PLO'S TV SHOW CALLS JEWISH JERUSALEMITES "CROWS AND RATS"

Pal. Media Watch found the PLO propagandists and indoctrinators up to their usual hatemongering stunts. The bile they ran on the program called "Sights of Jerusalem" translates like this:

"The crows pass by and caw (visual of Jews) and the rats are armed (visual of Israeli soldiers). But we know that the gates will smile only when we enter them... Jerusalem will never accept any language other than Arabic and any nationality other than Palestinian, no matter how much the flags of the foreigners fly in its sky."

Boy are they disgusting and have such filthy mouths. I think they should all go and live in a sewer along with all the rats already there.

A BLOGGER'S MEMO ON PAINTSHOP IMAGES

I made this image in 2008:

It has been used without attribution by 100+ websites. This has happened with hundreds of the images I have created.

I think that's great!

I don't blog for my ego.

I blog to fight leftism, islamism, statist propaganda - and to generate enthusiasm among others who fight, too. To cheer on conservatives and conservatism.

Other bloggers are more protective of their images. Fine. They put cute little logos on them - (if even if they are based on some non-original image) and then police the internet to find any unattributed use of these semi-original images like image-gestapo - which is ironic since these images are most frequently composed of images they've swiped (usually unattributed - whether they're from AP or whoever) - and then manipulate in some way or another - usually with photoshop.

I guess ego gratification is important to them. VERY.

I don't blog for ego-gratification.

This blog doesn't even have ads.

I blog because I think fighting leftism and islamism - and evil - is important, and de-spinning the news is an important part of the fight. EVERYDAY.

And I believe everyone who is engaged in the fight against these things helps.

Every blogger - even if they use images and ideas and expressions that are sometimes unattributed.

For a while, I used to track how many times BIGTIME bloggers got BIGTIME traffic on news-related items which I had posted on first - very often my post had original commentary which these bigtime bloggers agreed with and offered up in their own way. I did this to promote the blog: I wanted as many potential regular readers of this blog to realize that this blog did not merely follow the pack.

It worked, and when I did that, traffic was higher. I no longer have the time to do that - or a lot of the other things I could do when I had more free time. And traffic is down. C'est la vie.

I did do that to get traffic - to reach more people, but not every blog has to have huge traffic in order for blogging to make a difference.

If each conservative blog can keep even only 1000 people MORE motivated, then it is accomplishing something important in the overall fight.

This blog regularly reaches 2000-3000 people a day and very often many more than that. Especially before elections when it regularly gets 100,000+ views a month.

And the original analysis and original and semi-original paint-shopped images on this blog reaches many more people when they are spread by other blogs - regardless of whether these are attributed or not.

I think that's great, too.

The fight - and not my blog traffic or personal "fame" - is what is important.

In my opinion.

As Pat Condell says: "PEACE."

PHOTO OF HILLARY BOTCHING UP HER 3AM PHONE CALL

IF BENGHAZI WASN'T AN AL QAEDA ATTACK, THEN NEITHER WAS 9/11

THE PERPETRATOR OF THE ATTACK ON BENGHAZI WAS AL QEDA TRAINED - JUST LIKE MOHAMED ATTA.

BUT WHO CARES WHICH ISLAMIST GROUP WAS BEHIND IT?

IT MATTERS NOT WHICH ISLAMIST GROUP WAS BEHIND IT; IT ONLY MATTERS THAT IT WAS AN ISLAMIST GROUP.

THE ISLAMIST GROUPS DON'T HAVE TO BE ALLIED BY ANYTHING MORE THAN ISLAMISM.

IT MATTERS NOT IF BOKO HARAM INTERFACES WITH AL QAEDA OR WITH HAMAS OR WITH HIZBALLAH.

WHAT SHOULD MATTER IS ONLY THAT THEY ARE SPAWNED BY ISLAMISM.

ISLAMISM IS THE ENEMY.

AL QAEDA ONLY ONE OF ITS MANY FACES.

WE WON'T END THE WAR WHEN WE DEFEAT AL QAEDA OR BOKO HARAM - OR ANY OTHER PARTICULAR GROUP..

WE WILL ONLY WIN THE WAR WHEN WE ERADIATE ISLAMISM IN ALL ITS FORMS.

THE DEVASTATING RESULTS OF MASS MUSLIM IMMIGRATION

Pamela Geller's written about what Muslim immigration in Europe and elsewhere has led to, mainly in Britain:

It was reported Monday that “almost 10 per cent of children under five years old in England and Wales come from a Muslim family, according to 2011 UK Government census information.”

The report continued, “Of the 3.5 million children aged less than five, 320,000 were listed as Muslim. By comparison, Christians make up 43 per cent of those aged under five.”

What is the problem with that? The enemedia would tell you that anyone who thinks this is something to be concerned about is a racist. But this is not really a question of race at all; it’s a question of assimilation. Hindus, Buddhists, South Asians, Africans--all kinds of people have come to the U.K. and the U.S. and had little trouble adapting to their new country. But Muslims are the first group to come as immigrants to the West determined to replace Western government and social structures with Islamic ones. Millions of Muslims come to Western countries with a ready-made model of society and government (sharia) which they believe to be superior to what we have here, and they work to institute it.

What happens to a country when its imports a colonizer force or hostile invader? In Dr. Peter Hammond’s book, Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat, he explains that as Muslim populations grow, so do demands for special accommodation to Sharia. When Muslims number less than two percent of the population, as they do in the U.S. now, they’re generally peaceful and tolerant. As the Muslim population grows, however, so do the demands (as we’re seeing now): for halal meat, Sharia courts, and more.

As the Muslim population grows, so does violent intimidation and lawlessness--an example being the Sharia-ruled areas all over Europe, where the governing authorities have essentially lost control. After Muslim populations reach 20%, we see rioting, jihad militias, church burnings, and worse--and once it reaches 40%, there are massacres and frequent jihad terror attacks, as we have seen in recent years in Bosnia, Chad, and Lebanon.

Beyond that, when Muslims are the majority, there is Sharia-based discrimination against and persecution of non-Muslims, and sometimes even genocide of non-Muslims, as we have seen in Bangladesh and elsewhere, which may be coming in Egypt and Syria today.

So taking David Cameron as a prime example, if only because he's a would-be conservative, what's he willing to do to prove he doesn't favor all the mass Muslim immigration and demands for accomodation at the public's expense? So long as he won't prove his courage, he will prove he's a pure failure.

PLO MINISTER CALLED FOR JIHAD IN JERUSALEM

As seen in the video, another of millions of calls for jihad against Israel was made by a PLO agent:

Palestinian Authority (PA) Minister of Religious Affairs Mahmoud Al-Habash claimed Monday that Jihad fighters should not flock to Syria, but to Jerusalem - and PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas applauded, according to Palestinian Media Watch (PMW).

"Whoever wants resistance, whoever wants Jihad, the direction for Jihad is well-known and clear," Al-Habash claimed to a crowd at a PA-sponsored event. "Those who send young people to Syria or elsewhere to die for a misdirected cause must stop and understand that Jerusalem is still waiting. Jerusalem is the direction, Jerusalem is the address."

More about this case on The Blaze (via National Review). And these are the creatures whom John Kerry wants to do business with. Absolutely shameful.

9-11 MASTERMIND WANTS US TO BELIEVE HE'S REALLY ADHERING TO A PEACEFUL RELIGION

He released a manifesto in a desperate act to prove his point:

Washington — The self-proclaimed mastermind of the September 11 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, has released a manifesto claiming that the Koran forbids the use of violence to spread Islam.

The document, published Tuesday by The Huffington Post and Britain's Channel 4 News, marks Mohammed's first public communication since 2009, when the US government officially accused him of terrorism.

Mohammed, the most high-profile of the five men accused over the 2001 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people on US soil, has been held at the US detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba since 2006.

In a major departure from his previous position, Mohammed said that "the Holy Koran forbids us to use force as a means of converting!"

He also tried in the 36-page document to convince his American captors, prosecutors, lawyers and members of his military tribunal to convert to Islam.

I'll bet there's no Koranic verses in any of the 36 pages to back up his pathetic defense. When will he ever be finally sent to the chair, where his spluttering and whining might prove more interesting?

(BUMPED) - POLL: WHO WILL HILLARY CLINTON SELECT FOR HER VEEP? (FIRST ROUND)

EVERYBODY: PLEASE SELECT 5 FROM THE FOLLOWING LIST:

THE TOP 7 WILL FACE OFF IN THE NEXT ROUND...

AUSTRALIAN MUSLIM COUPLE DIES IN SYRIA

The wife appears to have been a convert, and so too was the husband:

An Australian man and his wife are being mourned by Sydney's Muslim community, as their reported deaths bring the number of Australians believed killed in the Syrian conflict to seven.

Yusuf Ali and his wife, Amira, of Queensland and formerly Granville were ''in their house in Syria and the FSA [Free Syrian Army] attacked and killed them'', Amira's sister Rose posted on Facebook on Saturday.

''Please everyone make dua for my sister Amira Ali and brother Inlaw Yusuf. They hav been martyred and insha'allah they r shaheeds. May Allah SWT grant them both janah Ameen,'' wrote Rose, who is known on Facebook as ''Mujahidah Lioness''. ''May Allah make the mujahideen victorious against FSA and Assad's regime.''

Amira, nee Karroum, was 22 and nicknamed ''Squid''. She left St Hilda's, an exclusive Anglican school for girls at Southport on the Gold Coast, in 2009, and married Yusuf Ali in 2012.

Her husband's Facebook page said he was from al-Jannah, Idlib, Syria. One of his posts said: ''Death is a reality none of us can out run. What have you done to prepare for 'destroyer of pleasures'? Believe in one God (without partners) enjoin in what is good and forbid what is evil and you will have success in this life and the next!''.

His page carried a portrait of him titled ''The World is My Prison'' and pictures of hooded men in army camouflage carrying guns.

Here's more information about the wife's background:

Ms Ali moved to Granville in Sydney's west in mid-2012 where she met Mr Ali, a Muslim convert whose parents are Australian and African-American.

Raised by her Lebanese Muslim father and Kiwi mother, Ms Ali attended a prestigious Anglican high school on the Gold Coast.

Her family said that in spite of her Anglican education, she was always a practicing Muslim but it was only two weeks before her wedding that she began to wear a niqab.

The couple married in April last year but soon after the wedding he left for Syria and told friends he was off to do humanitarian work.

But some worshippers from Masjid Al Noor Mosque in Granville where the couple attended prayers believed he was planning to fight with a jihadist rebel faction.

The only tragedy here is that both the wife and husband would be so weak willed and succumb to the Religion of Peace, effectively throwing away their lives for nothing.

OBAMA SEEMS TO BE CEDING IRAQ TO AL QAEDA LIKE HE CEDED LIBYA AND SYRIA

STATE-RUN MEDIA DESPERATELY SPINNING AWFUL DECEMBER RETAIL AS "POSITIVE"

BLOOMBERG:

Retail sales rose more than forecast in December as consumers snapped up holiday gifts amid year-end discounting, giving the world’s biggest economy a lift at the end of 2013.
Purchases increased 0.2 percent after a 0.4 percent advance in November that was smaller than previously reported, Commerce Department figures showed today in Washington. The median forecast of 86 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 0.1 percent gain. Excluding cars, demand jumped by the most in almost a year.
Holiday-season deals probably helped retailers overcome the coldest December in four years. At the same time, improving confidence owing to falling joblessness and further healing in the housing market is likely to support household spending, which accounts for almost 70 percent of the economy, in 2014.
“There is the hope that the momentum is going to continue and the good news will feed on itself,” said Scott Brown, chief economist at Raymond James & Associates Inc. in St. Petersburg, Florida, who correctly projected the rise in retail sales. “Better spending will lead to more jobs and more jobs will lead to more spending.”
Stock-index futures held earlier gains after the report.

THAT WAS THE POINT OF THE SPIN.

FACT: In December - the biggest retail month of the year, sales growth dipped from the previous month. Car sales PLUNGED and it was a LOUSY Christmas for bricks and mortar retailers. And 2013 was worse than 2012.

Leftist Spin can slow the inevitable stock decline, but it cannot stop it.

AP ran a truthful item - and limited it to ONE single line. (I guess the truth made them sick):

US retail sales rise just 0.2 percent in December, but traditional holiday shopping weak.

YES: WEAK. VERY WEAK.

And the repercussions have not yet begin to be felt.

Stay tuned...

GATES DID SOMETHING EVERY NIGHT WHICH OBAMA NEVER DID ONCE: PERSONALLY WRITE CONDOLENCE LETTERS TO THE FAMILIES OF OUR FALLEN HEROES.... AND WEEP

GATES IS A PATRIOT.

OBAMA, NOT SO MUCH - THOUGH HE DID HAND-WRITE A CONDOLENCE LETTER TO SOME RAPPER, ONCE.

THE MOST FAMOUS CONDOLENCE LETTER EVER SENT BY THE POTUS TO THE BEREAVED FAMILY OF A FALLEN HERO:

Executive Mansion, Washington, November 21, 1864. 

Mrs. Bixby, Boston, Massachusetts: 

Dear Madam: I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant-General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. 

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. 

I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. 

Yours very sincerely and respectfully, 

Abraham Lincoln.

FORMER WHITE HOUSE LAWYER DOESN'T UNDERSTAND ISLAM

The Bar-Ilan University professor Mordechai Kedar went to Scranton to give a lecture about Islam vs. the West, but the following doesn't sound too encouraging:

In the audience was attorney Joseph C. Peters, a former counterterrorism employee for the White House. He said the insight Dr. Kedar offered can help achieve peace between Islamic and Western cultures.

"It will never be achieved by military might," Mr. Peters said. "It can only be achieved if the impediments culturally are understood and used peacefully."

Another audience member, Etka Deutsch, 23, of Scranton, agreed with Mr. Peters.

"It's very important to understand the culture and values so that we can live together," Ms. Deutsch said.

Here we go again with another naive perception. It appears somebody at the campus didn't or wouldn't comprehend that a belief system built on such vile filth cannot be co-existed with. And maybe Kedar didn't do much better as a lecturer either.

Why Is The Federal Government Investigating Chris Christie for Misappropriating Hurricane Relief Funds? Obama and Christie Private Chat Revealed Here For The First Time

Feds investigating Christie's use of Sandy relief funds

Private chat between Obama and Christie, November 2012

Obama: Now Chris, you're gonna have to do a lot of reparin' on these roads and these people's homes. Get 'em back on their feet.

Christie: Yeah, that's a good idea, Mr. Obamaman. May I please have another lick on your ice cream cone, there, sir? Thank you so much.

Obama: And as soon as they can stand on their feet again, their gonna need to get back to work. Now, you'll want to keep this on the downlow, but this money I'm givin' you can help.

Christie: Yes. yes, on the downlow! Back to work!

Obama: You're gon' need to get this economy goin' again. Maybe get some tourists in here spending money to help get all these great people of New Jersey some money in their pockets.

Christie: Another lick, please.

Obama: Maybe put some ads for Jersey tourism on the TV. 

Christie: Yes, good idea, master. That's why you'll be re-elected for sure.

OBAMA HAS TURNED THE USA INTO BANANA REPUBLIC

UNDER OBAMA:

• THE POTUS CAN REWRITE ANY LAW
• THE POTUS CAN ENFORCE OR NOT ENFORCE ANY LAW
• THE POTUS CAN APPOINT WITHOUT ADVISE OR CONSENT

UNDER OBAMA, THE CONGRESS:

• CAN BE LIED TO WITH  IMPUNITY - DNI CLAPPER, IRS LOIS LERNER, BY ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER ARE JUST THREE EXAMPLES
• CAN BE OPENLY BRIBED TO PASS LEGISLATION; YES OPENLY BRIBED

UNDER OBAMA

• AMERICAN CITIZENS CAN BE MURDERED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE POTUS HAS A HIT LIST.

AND SOON - IF THE CHRISTIE "BRIDGE-GATE" CASE DEVELOPS AS IT SEEMS IT WILL, UNDER OBAMA POLITICAL OPPONENTS CAN BE CRIMINALLY CHARGED IN ORDER TO TAKE THEM OUT OF THE PICTURE.

IF OBAMA WOULD DO THESE THINGS AND SUBVERT OUR DEMOCRACY USING THESE MEANS, THEN ... WHERE WOULD HE STOP?

WOULD HE BLACKMAIL OPPONENTS?!?!?!?!

MAYBE A MAN WHO LIED ABOUT HIS ASSOCIATIONS WITH REZKO, FARRAKHAN, AYERS, REV. WRIGHT, EDWARD SAID AND RASHID KHALIDI, ACORN, AND THE NEW PARTY AND WHO REFUSES TO RELEASE HIS COLLEGE AND LAW SCHOOL RECORDS, AND HIS LAW PRACTICE FILES HAS A LOT MORE TO HIDE???

MAYBE HE IS MORALLY NO BETTER THAN CHAVEZ OR MUGABE?

AND JUST AS BIG A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY AND THE RULE OF LAW?

I THINK HE IS.

Statesman President Ronald Reagan's Farewell Address on January 11, 1989:

NORWEGIAN MASS MURDERER BREIVIK REVEALS HE'S A NEO-NAZI WHO WANTED TO DESTROY COUNTER-JIHAD MOVEMENT

In the translation of this Swedish article (via Jihad Watch), the mass murderer in Norway reveals some more telling details about himself:

The terrorist Anders Behring Breivik has sent a letter to the international media. In the letter, he describes himself as a fighter for the "survival of the Nordic race," and demands a territory for whites in Norway.

Anders Behring Breivik has sent out a letter to the international media that Expo Today has reviewed. He describes the letter as a sort of first step in a "peace negotiation" with his political opponents. In the letter, Anders Behring Breivik to some extent changes the rhetoric from that which he used in his so-called manifesto. He says that he used "counter-jihadist" rhetoric in the manifesto to protect "ethno-nationalists" and instead provoke a media campaign against the anti-nationalist counter-jihad supporters. He calls this a strategy of "dual psychology."

Anders Behring Breivik claims that he seeks a "pure Nordic ideal." He argues that the "Nordic race" is being eradicated, and wants to form a Nazi party in Norway like the Swedes' Party. He mentions several notorious right-wing extremists in Norway whom he wants to lead the party, including Varg Vikernes and Erik Blucher.

"We lost the European civil war (World War II)," writes Brevik, addressing the nationalists who he believes should endorse his "peace proposal."

Breivik also identifies himself as part of "Western Europe's fascist movement." For there to be peace, Breivik believes that "nationalists" should be offered Southwestern Østfold in Norway to ensure "the survival of native Norwegians and Scandinavians." Breivik wants to see similar parcels of land distributed to whites in several European countries.

Breivik writes in addition that his love of Israel consists only in its future function as a place to deport "disloyal Jews."

Anders Behring Breivik also writes that he does not think he will survive in prison, where he claims he has been tortured.

He deserves it for the horrors he caused. His anti-semitism is something jihadists embrace, as they would his mass murder behavior. He also called for collaborations with Hamas:

“Approach a representative from a Jihadi Salafi group. Get in contact with a Jihadi strawman. Present your terms and have him forward them to his superiors….Present your offer. They are asked to provide a biological compound manufactured by Muslim scientists in the Middle East. Hamas and several Jihadi groups have labs and they have the potential to provide such substances. Their problem is finding suitable martyrs who can pass ‘screenings’ in Western Europe. This is where we come in. We will smuggle it in to the EU and distribute it at a target of our choosing. We must give them assurances that we are not to harm any Muslims etc.”

So he also thinks alliances with jihadists are perfect? What more proof do we need that he was no different from them? And that's why it's very sad the Norwegian courts wouldn't give him a death sentence. Similarly, it's even more tragic that he could be out on the streets again in another 2 decades.

IN PRISON, NIDAL HASAN WAS A SERIAL COMPLAINER

Drew Zhan wrote about the expenses the trial of Nidal Hasan cost, and that apparently includes the Fort Hood jihadist's constant complaints in prison:

While sitting in jail awaiting his death sentence, Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan has been a major pain in the American taxpayer’s pocketbook and nearly an equal pain in his jailor’s neck.

An investigation into Hasan’s jail time revealed the U.S. government spent millions of dollars on unique security measures and privileges for the mass murderer, yet a long record of the inmate’s obstinate behavior has prompted exasperated jail officials to tell him, “You’re a grown man, act like it.”

Official records from Hasan’s 3-year stint at Bell County Jail in Texas, for example, reveal the inmate sent frequent complaints and demands to his jailors, insisted the temperature of his cell be kept at 70 degrees, asked for a thermometer to monitor it, harassed his caregivers and during one episode even began defecating in his trash can instead of the bathroom. [...]

In addition, the Bell County Sheriff’s Office was paid nearly $650,000 to house Hasan, and in return, official records reveal, Hasan filled his jailors’ lives with nearly incessant grief.

For example, on April 15, 2010, Hassan demanded a clock so he could roll over every two hours to avoid bed sores, visits from an imam and the temperature held at no less than 70 degrees.

A jail officer responded that the medical staff would ensure he did not suffer bed sores, that a Sgt. Alexander and Hasan’s own doctor had confirmed the cell’s temperature between 70 and 74 degrees, and that the local Muslim community had been contacted to see if someone would visit.

Hasan filed a repeat request on April 19, complaining of the cold, no clock and no visits from an imam – and when on April 24 his demands had not been met, the inmate began defecating in his cell’s trash can.

“I request that you properly evacuate your bowel,” the officer handling Hasan’s requests responded. “You know how to do it properly, and now after 19 days, you want to do it improperly. This has nothing to do with my staff. Do what you are supposed to do, Major Hasan.”

Nonetheless, Hasan’s complaints kept pouring in, sometimes more than once daily.

On April 27, the officer replied regarding Hasan’s demand for an imam visit: “I cannot make anyone come to you who does not want to. I am not responsible for providing you with an imam. I simply can’t deny you access should one want to see you. Apparently, they don’t.”

Yet, by Hasan’s own admission, he continued using the trash can instead of his bathroom.

On April 28, the jail officer replied, “You were not denied the ability to [use the bathroom]. You refused because you wanted to do things your way. … You are not going to use a garbage can in this jail. Do as you were instructed. You’re a grown man. Act like it.”

The next day, Hasan sent a new question: “I request outdoor recreation as often as possible; every day if feasible. Thank you.”

The next month, Hasan began complaining that the jail’s requirement he clean his own sink amounted to a “punishment attitude” that “is going to ultimately hurt me.”

Staff Sgt. Shawn Manning, who was shot six times in the Fort Hood attack, told KXAS-TV he’s not concerned about Hasan’s comfort in jail. He just wishes the Army would put more money and effort into helping the victims recover, some of whom are still struggling financially and emotionally.

I fully agree on that. Why was Hasan paid and didn't have his accounts frozen, so he couldn't give all that money to charities we can probably guess are like?

ARAB SPRING COMES TO JORDAN?

According to the American Thinker, it looks like the so-called Arab spring may be turning up in Jordan, as the Hashemite dynasty grows weaker.

Indeed, it's quite possible they too will not be able to hold out against a Muslim riot-revolt much longer.
