COMIC BOOK BUFFS RIDICULE THE SPLC'S ATTACK ON BOSCH FAWSTIN

Front Page Magazine says the SPLC's denounced cartoonist Bosch Fawstin as a "hate groupie" because of the anti-Muhammed cartoons he's drawn. But he's not phased:

When reached by phone on Monday night, Fawstin said Sunday's incident made him fear for his safety, but he would continue his work.

"It definitely is concerning. You do your work and people out there want to kill you for it," he said. "I understand the threat, but I'm not going to be cowed by it. I still intend to go up there and I still intend to speak out."

Fawstin, who said he is atheist, laughed when asked about the law center's report: "So they want to put a cartoonist on there who doesn't act out violently? Go for it."

That's the problem with the SPLC today - all they worry about is non-violent people, and come off sounding more like crime supporters than people truly concerned about making this a civilized planet. Over at the Outhousers, one of the people writing about this said that while he doesn't side with Fawstin's view, there are still some interesting queries to make, like:

If Fawstin belongs on the list of hate groups, does someone like Frank Miller, who wrote a similarly-themed (but less well-received) comic about killing Muslims called “Holy Terror,” belong there as well?

If so, what does that mean for major Hollywood movie studios promoting movies based on his work, such as the upcoming Superman v. Batman: Dawn of Justice, set to launch a multi-movie franchise?

Or for that matter, for DC Comics, who promoted Miller’s return to writing Batman comics as a major event just last month?

What about Charlie Hebdo, which the world was pretty much unanimously celebrating in January after an attack on their building killed several cartoonists and editors, and whose defiant “Je Suis Charlie” slogan can still be readily be found on t-shirts and social media avatars.

How do Charlie Hebdo’s anti-Islam cartoons and drawings of Muhammad differ from Fawstin’s?

Those are good questions to ask (but which I'm sure the SPLC won't answer), to which I can add at least one more: does the SPLC think Will Eisner belongs there too because of his last graphic novel, The Plot? As a matter of fact, they might, but because of the high regard he had when he was still alive, that's probably why they'd leave him alone, though I'm sure they'd villify him if they thought they could. Some of the commentors at CBR also criticized the SPLC's poor conduct. For example:

Watching the Southern Poverty Law Center go from a group that fought the Klan to a group that attacks artists is just sad.

And that's why they're an irrelevancy today. Another said:

SPLC are some of the biggest haters around, and like many such groups, they’re total hypocrites.

For example, I wonder how many blasphemous depictions of Jesus you’d have to produce to get on their list.

What do you think? I’m guessing the number is somewhere in the quadrillions.

Yes, they're just hypocritical apologists, and nobody should donate money to them.

It's pretty surprising that DC still maintains a respectable relationship with Miller, because they have quite a few people working there now who'd surely want to ostracize him for his changed views, and there's no chance they'd ever let him write them a Batman story even remotely similar to what he wrote in Holy Terror. For all we know, he could end up being blacklisted for real one day, and that would be bad, although I will say that with the way DC's going now, he really doesn't need to do them favors by lending them his talents that could be put to better use at smaller companies like Dark Horse.

I'm glad to see that Fawstin's not letting the SPLC get him down. It's also flattering to learn Jim Shooter's one the people supporting his work.

BRITISH ELECTION PROVES THEY DESPERATELY NEED ELECTORAL REFORM

UKIP WON 13% OF THE VOTE -2\3rd's MORE THAN THE SNP, BUT ENDED UP WITH 1/56th AS MANY MP'S.

THIS IS BECAUSE THE BRITS DO NOT HAVE RUNOFFS IF THE WINNER HAS LESS THAN 50%, AND MOST OF THE SEATS ARE WON WITH LESS THAN 40%.

UKIP FINISHED THIRD OVERALL IN THE TOTAL VOTE COUNT GAINING MANY MORE VOTES THAN THE SNP AND LIB-DEMS COMBINED, BUT ENDED UP WITH ONLY ONE SEAT.

THIS MEANS UKIP'S 4 MILLION SUPPORTERS HAVE VIRTUALLY NO VOICE IN PARLIAMENT DESPITE BEING EXTREMELY POPULAR AND VOICING SUPPORT FOR POSITIONS NO OTHER PARTY SUPPORTS.

THIS IS TANTAMOUNT TO DISENFRANCHISING MILLIONS OF BRITISH VOTERS AND IT MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

IT'S SIMPLE TO FIX:

ADJUST ELECTORAL LAW TO REQUIRE AT LEAST 45% FOR THE WINNER, AND IF NO ONE GETS 45%, THEN HAVE A RUNOFF IN 3 WEEKS BETWEEN THE TOP TWO FINISHERS.

UKIP CAME IN SECOND IN MANY DOZENS OF CONTESTS AND SURELY MIGHT HAVE WON MAY OF THEM IF THEY HAD A RUNOFF SYSTEM LIKE THIS - WHICH MANY COUNTRIES AND STATES ALREADY HAVE.

SOME PEOPLE WOULD PREFER A PROPORTIONAL SYSTEM, SUCH AS IN ISRAEL.

EACH PARTY GETS A NUMBER OF SEATS PROPORTIONAL TO THEIR OVERALL TOTAL.

IN THIS SYSTEM UKIP WOULD HAVE WON 80 SEATS - MORE THAN THE LIB-DEMS AND THE SNP COMBINED.

http://infographics.economist.com/2015/general_election_proportional/?n=&w=595

EITHER WAY, BRITAIN WOULD HAVE A PARLIAMENT THAT WOULD BE MUCH MORE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BRITISH PEOPLE.

I THINK MOST BRITS FEEL THAT THE TIME HAS COME FOR REFORM.

IF IT DOES, THEN ELECTORAL REFORM WOULD BE ONE OF UKIP'S GREAT CONTRIBUTIONS TO BRITAIN - ALONG WITH FINALLY GETTING THE BRITISH A REFERENDUM ON EU MEMBERSHIP.

AND ANOTHER THING: FARAGE LOST HIS CONTEST AND RESIGNED AS PARTY LEADER. HE REMAINS AN MEP.

FARAGE LOST BECAUSE HE HAD TO RUN AGAINST THE ENTIRE NATIONAL MEDIA, AND BECAUSE THE TORIES SHREWDLY RAN A FORMER UKIP MEMBER AGAINST HIM.

C'EST LA VIE. FARAGE DESERVES A REST. I HOPE WE HAVE NOT HEARD THE LAST FROM HIM.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

IF THE TORIES RENEG ON THE REFERENDUM PROMISE, THEN AN ANTI-EU PARTY WILL WIN THE NEXT ELECTION.

THE SOONER THEY HOLD IT THE BETTER, BUT I SUSPECT CAMERON WILL WAIT UNTIL GREECE LEAVES THE EU, AND THE ESS HITS THE EFF.

FINAL NOTE:

IF LABOR REFORMS ITSELF INTO AN ANTI-EU AND ANTI-IMMIGRANT PARTY, THEN THEY COULD BECOME THE NEXT MAJORITY PARTY.

IN OTHER WORDS, THEY NEED TO BECOME LESS "PROGRESSIVE" AND MORE PRO-WORKING CLASS.

I DOUBT THEY WILL DO THIS; THEIR LEADERSHIP IS MADE UP OF IDEOLOGICAL LEFTISTS, NOT PRAGMATIC BLAIRITES.

FBI WARNED TEXAS POLICE ABOUT JIHADISTS BEFORE CARTOONING CONTEST TOOK PLACE

It looks like the FBI deserves some congratulations for being on the alert too (Hat tip: Accuracy in Media):

The Federal Bureau of Investigation warned police in Garland, Texas, about three hours before a shooting at an exhibit of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad that a gunman who launched a failed attack was interested in the event, FBI Director James Comey said on Thursday.

The FBI issued a bulletin to the police department saying Elton Simpson had an interest in the event held in the Dallas suburb but gave no indication that he planned an attack, Comey told reporters in Washington, according to an FBI spokesman.

It's good they were keeping track of the danger lurking. We must take our hats off to the brave FBI officials who offered great help.

NOT EVERYONE AT FOX NEWS SUPPORTS FREE SPEECH AS WELL AS THEY COULD

The Wash. Examiner (via Accuracy in Media) lets everyone know why it's a serious mistake to think everybody at Fox is a saint:

Fox News has fallen somewhere in the middle, with several hosts and contributors stressing this week the importance of free speech — so long as it's safe.

"The American Freedom Defense Initiative spurred a violent incident," longtime host Bill O'Reilly alleged Tuesday. "Insulting the entire Muslim world is stupid…It does not advance the cause of liberty or get us any closer to defeating the savage jihad."

He added that free speech is indeed important, but that those principles are "not in play" in the AFDI situation. Further, O'Reilly said, "Just because you can say it doesn't mean you should say it…It is stupid. It accomplishes nothing."

Conservative radio host and Fox contributor Laura Ingraham agreed, saying Tuesday that everyone should avoid being "unnecessarily" offensive.

"It is not beneficial to us as Americans to criticize an entire faith, and what was done at this convention doesn't accomplish anything," she said. "There are a lot of things that we can say, that we have a right to say, that we shouldn't say."

Referring to Chris Ofili's infamous "The Holy Virgin Mary," a likeness of Jesus' mother fashioned out of dung, Ingraham said she supported the artist's right to free expression — but she maintained it's unnecessarily stupid and offensive.

"We shouldn't unnecessarily insult people, personal attacks," she said, adding of the AFDI event that, "It does not…accomplish anything [and] it could make things worse for us."

O'Reilly concurred, saying that his position is "what is best for the country" and not "emotional."

Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum expressed on both television and social media that she disapproved of AFDI and its Muhammad contest.

"Don't stoop to [radical Islamists'] level," she said on Twitter in reference to the controversial art exhibit, adding later, "Just because you have a right to do something, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do."

Referring to Geller's many critics, McCallum explained the arguments against AFDI, saying in an interview with the group's founder that, "If you want to make a difference, you do it in a Christian way, you don't do it in a crass way by insulting someone's religion."

If that's supposed to mean by being a coward and remaining quiet, then somebody's insulted Christians at that station. Mainly Christians who're now being persecuted in Muslim lands. All this ghastly condemnation of Pamela Geller's group does is prove why Fox isn't much different from their leftist counterparts. Their approach predictably fails to condemn any and all Islamists who encourage these attacks. I'm sure none of this is new to Geller though, since she has spoken against Fox in the past.

Chaplinsky Vs. New Hampshire: The Real Story Behind The "Fighting Words" Doctrine As Limit To Freedom of Speech

The other day, Chris Cuomo declared Pamela Geller's Mohammed Cartoon Contest to be a violation of the "Fighting Words Doctrine", The "Fighting Words Doctrine is a limitation set against the Freedom of Speech by a Supreme Court case called Chaplinsky vs. New Hampshire.

Frankly, I don't hear the "Fighting Words Doctrine" being resorted to as a legitimate limit on Freedom of Speech by any, other than Chris Cuomo. However, if it were, I wonder if anyone would take it seriously if they knew the real story.

First, the story as it is usually told:

In late November 1941, Walter Chaplinsky, a Jehovah's Witness, was using the public sidewalk as a pulpit in downtown Rochester, passing out pamphlets and calling organized religion a "racket." 

After a large crowd had begun blocking the roads and generally causing a scene, a police officer removed Chaplinsky to take him to police headquarters. 

Upon seeing the town marshal (who had returned to the scene after warning Chaplinsky earlier to keep it down and avoid causing a commotion), Chaplinsky attacked the marshal verbally. He was then arrested. 

The complaint against Chaplinsky stated that he shouted: "You are a God-damned racketeer" and "a damned Fascist". 

Chaplinsky admitted that he said the words charged in the complaint, with the exception of the name of the deity. For this, he was charged and convicted under a New Hampshire statute preventing intentionally offensive speech being directed at others in a public place. Under New Hampshire's Offensive Conduct law (chap. 378, para. 2 of the NH. Public Laws) it is illegal for anyone to address "any offensive, derisive or annoying word to anyone who is lawfully in any street or public place ... or to call him by an offensive or derisive name." 

Chaplinsky appealed the fine he was assessed, claiming that the law was "vague" and that it infringed upon his First Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment rights to free speech.

Even this story, by itself, is offensive, idiotic and downright absurd, given the fact that the First Amendment declares, simply, that "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the Freedom of Speech."

Yes, that's right, NO LAW ABRIDGING FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

And yet, somehow, Chaplinsky was arrested for calling a Policeman a "racketeer" and a "fascist". And then, the Supreme Court decided that Walter Chaplinsky had violated his own Constitutional Right to Free Speech, by using "fighting words".

Additionally, the charge was that he used these words "in a public place." Somehow the fact that he chose to utter words which were offensive to a policeman, in a public place, was considered "incitement."

Now, I could understand if the Policeman had sued Chaplinsky for Slander. After all, the words "Racketeer" and "fascist" have specific meanings, and I don't believe Chaplinsky could have proven in a court of law that his words were justified.

But unless a person wants to pursue the Slander route, it is completely absurd, and absolutely un-Constitutional to charge a person with incitement, for simply calling another person a name, which has a specific meaning, unless one wants to prove that he was wrong in the meaning he assigned to oneself with the use of those words.

Having said all that, now let's get the rest of the story. For as we read what really happened - what really led up to the arrest of Mr. Chaplinsky - you will not believe this could have happened in America. The truth of the event will totally pull the rug out from underneath the whole notion of "incitement", or "fighting words", as it pertains to the Chaplinsky case.

Here's what really happened:

While preaching, Chaplinsky was surrounded by men who mocked Jehovah's Witnesses members' objections to saluting the flag. 

One man attempted to hit Chaplinsky in full view of the town marshal, who warned Chaplinsky that he was in danger but did not arrest his assailant. 

After the marshal left, another man produced a flagpole and attempted to impale Chaplinsky; while Chaplinsky was pinned against a car by the pole, other members of the crowd struck him. A police officer arrived and, rather than dispersing the crowd, took Chaplinsky into custody. 

En route to the station, the officer, as well as members of the crowd, insulted Chaplinsky and his religion. Chaplinsky responded by calling the town marshal, who had returned to assist the officer, a "damn fascist and a racketeer" and was arrested for the use of offensive language in public.

In other words, Mr. Chaplinsky, who was, very reasonably in fear for his life, became enraged, and started taking out his fear, anger, and humiliation on the Marshall - who would not arrest his attackers, but instead, like a coward, chose to arrest the lone person who was not committing acts of violence.

Actually, this sounds almost exactly like what is happening to Pamela Geller, Bosch Fawstin, and Robert Spencer, doesn't it?

How could such a thing happen in America? How could a man be arrested for using words, when other's are committing acts of violence against him?

How could the Supreme Court have held up his conviction on "Incitement", creating a "Fighting Words" exception to the First Amendment, when the man did not fight, or even fight back against those who did fight against him?

How could such a thing happen in American History, only to be trotted out once again, in the 21st century, by the very same kind of rogues, to be used to slander and threaten those who would truly stand for our Freedoms?

It makes you feel ashamed to live in a land where Justice is a game.

The Meaning of "Daesh" and Why Leftist Leaders Who Criticize Pamela Geller Are Completely Full of Shit

John Kerry and other Leftists insist on calling ISIS by the name of "Daesh", instead of the Islamic State or ISIS, as everyone else does?

Why is this?

Simple, because while the word "Daesh" is somehow an acronym for "Islamic State" in Arabic, the word "Daesh" also happens to mean "to crush or trample underfoot", as you do when you step on a piece of shit ...

... which is exactly what the Islamic State is.

So, here's the thing: The Lefties in our Administration, and the media groupie herd who continually fellate the President and all his underlings, they NEVER OBJECT TO THE USE OF THE WORD DAESH.

So why do they object to Pamela and her friends drawing cartoons?

How absurd?

They are total hypocrites. Absolute scum.

FINALLY, A COALITION DEAL WAS REACHED

Just 2 hours before the deadline, a deal was reached with the Jewish Home party that paves the way for a government coalition, narrow as it stands just now.

And man, did they really drag these coalition negotiations on and on and on to the bitter end. It was really unnecessary, and unfair to the electorate, though not as much as Avigdor Lieberman's own betrayal.

Now that a coalition's been formed, let's hope it'll suffice for the time being and avail this country what it needs.

UH-OH: YELLEN SIGNALS THAT CURRENT STOCK VALUES ARE HIGH AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS

REUTERS:

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen on Wednesday said high equity valuations could pose potential dangers but that stability risks across the U.S. financial system remained in check. "I would highlight that equity market valuations at this point generally are quite high," Yellen said. "There are potential dangers there." Yellen's view on the run-up in stocks was an answer to questions from International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde, who joined the Fed chief for the opening session of the "Finance and Society" conference here. "We’ve also seen the compression of spreads on high-yield debt, which certainly looks like a reach for yield type of behavior," Yellen said. 

U.S. stocks were trading lower following the comments, building on earlier declines triggered by weak private job data.

IT'S IRRATIONAL EXUBERANCE FUELED BY THE FED AND OTHER SOVEREIGN CENTRAL BANK'S "QE'S".

AKA: A BUBBLE

WHEN IT BURSTS... NO ONE KNOWS - BUT YOU'D BETTER HEDGE YOUR POSITIONS NOW...

AND STAY TUNED...

EVEN CONSERVATIVES CAN SUCCUMB TO DHIMMITUDE

Breitbart interviewed Pamela Geller about her next planned free speech conference, and she made sure to call out dhimmi rightists:

Breitbart News: Even some conservative columnists and a potential presidential candidate (Donald Trump) have resorted to personal attacks against you as a preface before arguing in defense of free speech. Why do you feel that so many have come to attack the messenger?

Pamela Geller: This is the problem with the conservatives. This is why we can never nominate qualified, brave, true conservative candidates. The conservative movement has trimmed to accommodate the leftist media so much that they’ve trimmed themselves out of principle. They attack me because they’re desperately afraid that the leftist media will smear them by association with me. It is an act of sheer cowardice.

Yes, in a day and age like this, why must they continue to fear leftist news sources? That only encourages radical leftists and Islamofascists to think they can cow rightists into submission too, and we can't stand for that.

She's right to keep on with more free speech conferences and send messages to enemies of freedom that free people won't be intimidated by their barbarism. And she should continue to speak out against dhimmified conservatives too.

7 ARRESTED IN BRITAIN FOR RUNNING A PHONE SCAM TO STEAL MONEY FOR TERRORISM

GUARDIAN:

Counter-terrorism police investigating fraud linked to extremists travelling to Syria have arrested six men and a woman. 

Officers from the Metropolitan police’s counter-terrorism command attended six addresses in London and another in Luton, Bedfordshire. The six male suspects have been arrested for conspiracy to commit fraud and money-laundering, while the woman was held on suspicion of money-laundering only. Scotland Yard said officers were investigating a “large-scale fraud” connected to UK extremists travelling to Syria. The arrests are part of a continuing investigation into allegations that vulnerable and elderly victims were cold-called on their home phones by a suspect impersonating a police officer. 

The force said: “Members of the public are strongly advised, if you receive a call like this about your bank account from someone claiming to be a police officer, hang up the phone, wait at least five minutes to make sure the phone line has cleared, or use another phone line, before ringing the phone number on your bank card.”

THESE PEOPLE WILL COMMIT GENOCIDE, SO OF COURSE ALL LESSER CRIMES ARE ON THE TABLE.

BRITAIN SHOULD BEGIN EXPELLING AND EXILING MUSLIM OFFENDERS WHO SUPPORT SHARIA AND JIHAD.

WHY SEND THEM TO SYRIA.... OR AFGHANISTAN OR YEMEN...

UH-OH: HAVE GLOBAL MARKETS HIT THEIR INFLECTION POINTS AND ARE WE HEADED FOR THE LONG PREDICTED CRASH?

REUTERS:

Asian stocks stumbled on Wednesday in sympathy with weak U.S. and European markets as equities investors were spooked by a vicious selloff in sovereign bonds globally.  

The sudden spike in bond yields is being mirrored by an equally rapid rally in resources to suggest investors are becoming less concerned about the danger of deflation.  

MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS was off 0.4 percent in early trade, led by a 1.2 percent decline in Australia AXJO.  

Dealers were uncertain if this was just a temporary correction of very crowded positions or a turning point toward a more reflationary world, but evidence for the latter was starting to pile up.  

A broad bounce in commodities saw oil and copper prices speed to their highest for the year so far, while zinc reached ground not trod in eight months. Brent crude LCOc1 has climbed almost 50 percent from its January trough to reach $67.66 a barrel, with U.S. crude CLc1 not far behind at $60.71.

THE GREAT INFLATIONARY SPIRAL MANY PREDICTED WOULD HAVE TO OCCUR AS A RESULT OF CENTRAL BANKS' ACTIONS MAY HAVE BEGUN.

IF SO, THEN EQUITY MARKETS WILL CORRECT AND DECLINE, PERHAPS A LOT AND MAYBE QUITE FAST.

STAY TUNED...

"MOLON LABE" COUNTS FOR OUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, TOO!

FREE SPEECH IS UNDER ATTACK - IN GARLAND, TEXAS AND AROUND THE WORLD.

HERE ARE NEW TWO BANNERS THAT USE THE PHRASE "MOLON LABE" - A PHRASE USUALLY APPLIED TO OUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS (AS ABOVE), BUT IT APPLIES TO OUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, TOO:

ONE FOR RIGHT-HANDED PEOPLE....

AND ONE FOR LEFT-HANDED PEOPLE...

POST THEM WHEREVER AND WHENEVER YOUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS ARE THREATENED.

WIKI:
Molon labe (Greek: μολὼν λαβέ), meaning "come and take them", is a classical expression of defiance. When the Persian armies demanded that the Greeks surrender their weapons at the Battle of Thermopylae, King Leonidas I responded with this phrase.

MARZ PARROTS THE NARRATIVE OF THE MSM ABOUT THE ATTEMPTED JIHAD IN GARLAND

This is one of those times where Ron Marz really becomes a disgrace, as he makes his own comment about the attack at a Draw Muhammed contest in Texas:

Hard not to think that an attack is exactly what the organizers of the Garland, TX event were hoping for. http://t.co/aesuxhnhrv

— Ron Marz (@ronmarz) May 5, 2015

So, he wishes that the AFDI and other such movements were craving to become martyrs or something? That sounds an awful lot like Ron Paul's mindset, to say nothing of what 9-11 Trutherists go by. I guess he also doesn't think Pamela Geller's still very attractive at 50-plus years of age.

He doesn't even thank the brave policeman whose actions prevented any potential disaster from occurring, nor does he even congratulate the attendants for their own bravery in sending a message to Islamofascists that they won't be intimidated. He's done nothing more than follow CNN's lead in victim-blaming, and must think Donald Trump makes a great politician. Of all the snide remarks Marz could blurt out, this is one of the grimiest.

AVIGDOR LIEBERMAN UNDERMINES THE RIGHT

Lieberman's unmasked himself as suspect, more than before, by refusing to join the government coalition at the last minute:

As coalition talks began to wind down in the days before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must present a coalition, Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Lieberman announced Monday that he was stepping down from his post as foreign minister and his party would not be joining the coalition.

Lieberman's move raised the prospect that Netanyahu, whose Likud party won the biggest bloc of votes in a March 17 election, will have to settle for a narrower coalition to secure a majority in the 120-seat parliament by the Wednesday deadline to form a government.

[...] Lieberman's once-powerful party plummeted in the March election to just six seats. Without Yisrael Beytenu, Netanyahu is expected to form a narrow, 61-seat coalition, leaving him susceptible to the demands of his coalition partners.

[...] Likud members were outraged by Lieberman's announcement, with one high-ranking Likud member saying, "Lieberman is the last person who can preach about opportunism. He is a cynic. The biggest opportunist of them all. He planned a putsch against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the last term, and aspired to be appointed prime minister as a compromise after the election.

"The unequivocal results of the last election, in which Likud won 30 Knesset seats, foiled Lieberman's plots and his plan failed. That is why he is now trying to drag the political arena down into a left-wing government headed by Isaac Herzog, while simultaneously serving outside interests both domestically and abroad in utter violation of the promise he made to his voters -- to support the establishment of a nationalist government.

"Lieberman has betrayed his voters. His criticism regarding the [concessions made by Netanyahu to] the ultra-Orthodox parties are completely baseless. Herzog agreed to give them the same things and even [Yesh Atid leader Yair] Lapid said that he would be willing to join a coalition with the ultra-Orthodox parties. The only way to reduce the parties' leverage in making coalition demands is to change the system of government, and that is something that the prime minister has announced that he plans to do."

Whatever demands Lieberman's got are hogwash, and he's never proven himself a very convincing politician so much as he has proven a corrupt one. Dror Eydar says:

In the last election, six seats were stolen from the Right by Lieberman, who received countless gifts and honors from the national camp, but never gave it anything in return. Over the past six years, Lieberman, mythologized as a "bulldozer," did nothing noteworthy in the realms of housing, transportation, education, industry and infrastructure, but he did stand out for his willingness to undermine conservative governments in which he held senior positions. Who will vote for him next time after his contradiction of his constituents' wishes? And what will Lieberman, who got used to doing nothing at the Foreign Ministry, do in the opposition?

He'll probably collaborate and conspire to topple the government. He's never made any clear ideological statements, and it's time for him to resign from politics; he's become irrelevant.

If the government collapses because of him, he'll be remembered in history as a pure disgrace, especially if his acts lead to a left-wing government coming into power and causing disaster. Let's hope those who voted for him will learn their lesson now.

Good News: China Has Vowed To Clean Up It's Human Rights Record On Sweatshops and Child Labor ...

... by building all-robot factories!

Construction work has begun on the first factory in China’s manufacturing hub of Dongguan to use only robots for production, the official Xinhua news agency reported. 

A total of 1,000 robots would be introduced at the factory initially, run by Shenzhen Evenwin Precision Technology Co, with the aim of reducing the current workforce of 1,800 by 90 per cent to only about 200, Chen Xingqi, the chairman of the company’s board, was quoted as saying in the report. 

The company did not give a figure for the investment in the factory, but said its production capacity could reach a value of 2 billion yuan (US$322 million) annually. 

Robots are set to take over in many factories in the Pearl River Delta, the area of southern China known as the ‘world’s workshop’ ... 

Since September, a total of 505 factories across Dongguan have invested 4.2 billion yuan in robots, aiming to replace more than 30,000 workers, according to the Dongguan Economy and Information Technology Bureau. 

By 2016, up to 1,500 of the city’s industrial enterprises will began replacing humans with robots.

The future of organizations like Human Rights Watch will be to ensure that human beings have equal access to scavenge trash heaps for usable/eatable waste matter.

MEMORIAL FOR ILAN HALIMI VANDALIZED

A plaque dedicated to the memory of the French Jew murdered by a Muslim gang in Paris was vandalized (H/T: Jihad Watch):

The mayor of a Paris suburb has voiced his outrage after memorial plaque honoring Ilan Halimi – a young Jewish man tortured to death by a Muslim gang in 2006 – was desecrated by unidentified vandals.

The glass-and-stone plaque was found smashed at 18:00 on Saturday evening in Bagneux, a southern suburb of the French capital, according to Le Figaro, and has since been removed for repairs.

Bagneux mayor Marie-Hélène Amiable described the vandalism as “outrageous, unacceptable, I am extremely shocked.”

There was a report about 3 months ago that a memorial to the victims of the Charlie Hebdo bloodbath was vandalized too. That's another tactic of jihad - to desecrate memories.

MUSLIMS IN CONGRESS KEPT UP THEIR HOSTILITY TO GEERT WILDERS

3 Muslims in Congress tried to sabotage a visit by Geert Wilders:

As one of the world’s most prominent critics of Islam, Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders doesn’t go anywhere without his security detail of as many as six plainclothes police officers, and he rarely crosses international borders without causing political uproar, having already been banned in Britain at one time.

So it was of little surprise that three U.S. congressmen urged Secretary of State John Kerry and Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson to deny him a visa ahead of his planned visit to the U.S. this week, due to his alleged ongoing “participation in inciting anti-Muslim aggression and violence.”

Reps. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., and André Carson, D-Ind., who both are Muslim, along with Rep. Joe Crowley, D-N.Y., wrote a letter April 23 citing “the International Religious Freedom Act which allows the Department of State to deny entry to a foreign leader who is responsible for severe violations of religious freedom.”

Nevertheless, Wilders – who insists he doesn’t hate Muslims but believes Western civilization is threatened by adherents of the Islamic supremacy taught in the Quran – showed up on Capitol Hill Wednesday and spoke at two events at the invitation of Reps. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, and Steve King, R-Iowa

King’s communications director, Sarah Stevens, told WND the congressman invited Wilders a month or so ago to speak at the weekly Conservative Opportunity Society breakfast he chairs. Wilders spoke Wednesday on his latest book, “Marked for Death: Islam’s War Against the West and Me,” and also attended an evening reception with Congress members and staff along with representatives of foreign-policy groups on Capitol Hill.

Ellison, Carson and Crowley showed up Thursday at a news conference King and Gohmert held for Wilders in front of the U.S. Capitol and voiced their opposition to the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf in a video interview.

“Personally, I find it disturbing, but mostly sad, because, you know, the people of the Netherlands are a good people, and this is absolutely true, with a great history of tolerance, great history of giving art to the world and great gifts,” Ellison said.

“And it’s unfortunate,” the Minnesota congressman continued, “that someone such as this would come over here and sort of represent himself as a member of that society.”

Wilders, for his part, would contend that Ellison actually is drawing attention to the central issue: It’s the intolerance of Muslim immigrants and their refusal to assimilate, Wilders argues, that threatens the historic Judeo-Christian Dutch culture that forms the basis of a tolerant, pluralistic society capable of “giving art to the world and great gifts.”

Frankly, I don't buy what Ellison's saying about Holland. That's all just taqqiya. I'm thankful to the GOP Congressmen who invited Wilders for a conference just as they did with Netanyahu a few months ago, and didn't let those Democrat disgraces get in the way.
