Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death on that awful day when the heavens and earth shall be shaken and you shall come to judge the world by fire

Libera Me

Libera me, Domine,
de morte aeterna
in die illa tremenda
quando coeli movendi sunt et terra,
dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem.

Tremens factus sum ego et timeo,
dum discussion venerit atque venture ira:
quando coeli movendi sunt et terra.

English Translation:

Deliver me, O Lord,
from eternal death
on that awful day
when the heavens and earth shall be shaken
and you shall come to judge the world by fire.
I am seized with fear and trembling
until the trial is at hand and the wrath to come:
when the heavens and earth shall be shaken.

YAWN: MORE DELAYS FOR THE UN'S HARIRI INDICTMENTS

ARABNEWS: Prosecutor expands scope of Hariri killing indictment

AMSTERDAM: The UN-backed Lebanon tribunal’s prosecutor on Friday expanded the scope of his indictment over the 2005 killing of statesman Rafik Al-Hariri, delaying the review process by months.

The Lebanon tribunal, the world’s first international court with jurisdiction over the crime of terrorism, was set up to try those accused over the 2005 bombing that killed Lebanese ex-prime minister Hariri and 22 others.

The prosecutor’s original indictment filed in January, the contents of which are still secret, set off a political crisis in Lebanon, where the militant Shiite group Hezbollah and its allies toppled the government of Hariri’s son, Saad Al-Hariri.

Lebanese officials and Western diplomats expect the court to accuse Hezbollah members of involvement in the assassination, a prospect Lebanese politicians fear could fuel further tensions.

Prosecutor Daniel Bellemare said in a statement he had expanded the scope of his original indictment after collecting and analizing further evidence. All documents would remain confidential, he said.

The prosecutors’ office declined to comment when asked if the expanded indictment meant more people were accused or more criminal acts were detailed, or both.

“The initial indictment was accompanied by thousands of pages of supporting material and as the prosecutor made clear in his statement today this ‘amendment expands on the scope of the indictment filed on 17 January 2011,’” a spokesman for the Special Tribunal for Lebanon said in separate statement.

“We are now talking about months rather than weeks for the indictment review process to be completed.”

YEAH, SURE.

THE UN IS A CESSPOOL OF COMMIES, COWARDS, ISLAMISTS AND WHORES.

IT'S BEEN 6 YEARS ALREADY! WHY ARE THEY REALLY WAITING?

US ARMY TO PUNISH 9 OFFICERS FOR FAILURE TO PREVENT FORT HOOD MASSACRE

ABC News (via The Other McCain) reports that the military is going to be taking action against 9 officers whose negligence led to the Fort Hood bloodbath:

The Army has begun administrative punishments against nine officers for what it calls "administrative and leadership failures relating to the career of Maj. Nidal Hasan," the alleged shooter in the Fort Hood, Texas, shootings that killed 13.

Army Secretary John McHugh has initiated "adverse administrative action" against the officers, according to an Army statement released Thursday on the results of an accountability review to determine if Hasan's superior officers were negligent.

"Although no single event directly led to the tragedy at Fort Hood, certain officers clearly failed to meet the high standards expected of their profession," the Army statement said. [...]

As part of its broader investigation into the circumstances that led to the November 2009 Fort Hood shooting, the Army conducted an accountability review of the actions of the officers that supervised Hasan. Unlike the broader investigation's conclusions, which were made public this year, the results of the accountability review have not been made public -- until now.

A report by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee released last month concluded that there were warning signs about Hasan's radicalization and antagonism to the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that raised concerns among his colleagues.

Entitled, "Ticking Time Bomb: Fort Hood Massacre Could Have Been Prevented," the report cited examples of Hasan's behavior that should have been picked up by his supervisors.

Instead, the report found that Hasan continued to receive positive evaluation reports from his supervisors that led to his continued promotion and eventual assignment to Fort Hood, where he was slated to deploy to Afghanistan.

The officials who allowed this must definitely be held accountable for allowing political correctness to trump responsibility in some of the worst ways possible. And laws must be passed in the military that will ensure severe penalties against officials who fail to report dangerous behavior regardless of whether the characters are Muslims or not. As for Hasan himself, as far as I know, the US military will be recommending the death sentence for him for the murders he committed. Let's hope he receives that very punishment for slaughtering innocent army members.

Update: here's some more news from the AP Wire (via Jihad Watch).

ABOMINABLE MURDER IN ITAMAR

5 family members were murdered in Itamar, Israel, stabbed to death by a terrorist who managed to get through an electrified fence. Do I need to continue with that part? What I can say is that, as the article tells, Fatah's al-Aqsa Brigade has claimed responsibility.

The prime minister has condemned the attack:

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Saturday blamed Palestinian incitement for Friday's terror attack in Itamar in which 5 Israelis from the same family were stabbed to death.

And indeed that's what caused this.

The US has called on Fatah to condemn this savagery. Not enough. Fatah must not even be recognized as legitimate.

EVEN BILL CLINTON UNDERSTANDS THAT WE NEED TO DRILL

From Politico:

Former President Bill Clinton said Friday that delays in offshore oil and gas drilling permits are “ridiculous” at a time when the economy is still rebuilding...

Are Bill Clinton's words indicative of a coming rift in the Democratic Party as the prices of petroleum and petroleum products and the cost of goods in general soar to the moon?

In any case, Clinton's words reflect what every sensible American knows: Obama isn't looking out for American interests. On Friday, March 11, 2011, Obama absurdly blamed the oil companies here in the United States for not drilling.

The latest in the wave of Ku Klux Klan terrorist arrests

Daniel S. writes:

Did you not hear of the white supremacist arrested today for trying to export nuclear technology to anti-American entities? Oh wait, that was a Pakistani Muslim charged today in Maryland for attempting to smuggle nuclear technology back to his native country. He must have been radicalized by Rep. Peter King and his hearings in "homegrown" Islamic radicalism.

LA replies:

Ahh, but you're forgetting Rep. Al Green's point to the Washington Times reporter yesterday. The KKK doesn't have to be committing terrorist crimes in our time in order to warrant being investigated along with Muslim extremists. According to Green, KKK crimes committed in the distant past should have been the subject matter of the King hearings.

FACT:

THE KKK LYNCHED FEWER BLACKS IN THE 100 YEARS BETWEEN 1865 AND 1965 THAN RADICAL MUSLIMS KILLED PEOPLE ON 9/11.

MORE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THE NAME OF ISLAM THAN ANYTHING ELSE IN ALL HUMAN HISTORY -

EVEN MORE THAN SOCIALISM AND IN ALL THE RELIGIOUS WARS WITHIN EUROPE, AND MORE THAN BY ALL THE COLONIAL WARS WAGED BY THE WEST.

ISLAM IS THE MOST GENOCIDAL IDEOLOGY IN ALL HUMAN HISTORY -

MOHAMMEDANISM IS WORSE THAN NAZISM, STALINISM, MAOISM, POLPOTISM AND THE REST ... COMBINED.

WE NEED TO LIBERATE MUSLIMS FROM THIS HIDEOUS IDEOLOGY, THIS IDEOLOGY THAT EVEN THE HOUSE OF SAUD ARGUES IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH MODERNITY AND DEMOCRACY.

IT CANNOT BE ANY OTHER WAY.

AND G-D?? WHAT G-D CAN STAND BY AS CATACLYSMS LIKE THIS HAPPEN?

G-D'S EMBRACE OF THE FALLEN AND THE INJURED AND THOSE IN SHOCK AND GRIEF IS ULTIMATELY THE ONLY SOLACE THERE EVER IS.

LIFE MUST ALWAYS CONTAIN PAIN AND GRIEF AND LOSS AND DEATH. SOMETIMES ON A SMALL SCALE ONLY SUFFERED BY A UNIQUE SOUL, AND SOMETIMES ON A LARGE SCALE SUFFERED BY NATIONS - AND ALL HUMANITY.

I PRAY FOR THE RELIEF OF ALL THOSE SUFFERING.

REP. PETER KING'S HEARINGS ON RADICAL ISLAM HIGHLIGHT PROBLEMS WITH CAIR

Commentary's Alana Goodman writes about the hearings/conference Rep. Peter King held about radical Islam in the US, and how, if there's anything they may have helped upon, it's exposing the serious problems CAIR represents. Including their call on Muslims not to cooperate with the FBI. Following this, we have to hope that all law enforcement agencies in the US will stop associating themselves with that group. Including the LA sherrif mentioned here (via Jihad Watch).

However, that still doesn't excuse King's refusal to invite people like Steve Emerson, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Robert Spencer as witnesses, and I'm not sure the inclusion of Dr. Zuhdi Jasser will suffice either. Did I mention how some Democrats couldn't handle this?

As seen in the past few days, King has had to beef up security, as no matter how he handles this, the Islamofascists don't want him to discuss the issue at all. But while it's good that it took place in the end, it's still unclear if this hearing will have sufficient impact.

JLA/99 DESERVED TO FAIL

On the blog called Every Day is like Wednesday, which is run by J. Caleb Mozzoco, a freelance writer in Ohio who contributes to Newsarama's blog to boot, he says he's surprised by the JLA/99's failure (via CBR's Robot 6 blog, where the man who linked to it, Kevin Melrose, is quite a dhimmi leftist):

I did experience a new emotion while reading this installment of the sales analysis though, beyond the usual shades of the gray and blue rainbow of sadness I generally get from the chart—shock.

Specifically, I’m shocked at how poorly JLA/The 99 seems to be selling in the direct market.

Many of you don’t sift through Google News alerts about comics on a daily basis as part of a “job” like I do, and thus you may not have read the same 10,000 or so mainstream news articles I did about The 99.

If not, they’re a superhero team created by Dr. Naif Al-Mutawa, founder of Teshkeel Media Group. The characters come from all over the world, although they are based in Islamic culture and religion, and gain powers through magical Noor stones. Their name comes from the 99 attributes of Allah.

They received about as much press coverage as any comic book characters could hope to. In the six-issue miniseries JLA/The 99, the new heroes team up with The Justice League of America, the DC super-team (usually) composed of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the most popular and well-known superheroes who aren’t owned by Marvel. [...]

It started off selling pretty poorly, and, in just four issues, is selling half as many copies.

Why I find that so surprising is that while I haven’t been reading the book either (I wanted to, but DC priced it at the ridiculous 22/$3.99 price point), I have been flipping through the issues when I see them in the shop, and the JLA line-up they’re using consists of Superman, Batman Bruce Wayne, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern John Stewart, The Flash, Hawkman, The Atom and Firestorm. And those are just the one’s I’ve noticed.

That’s not quite the most popular, Big Seven version, but it is the Big Five, with some other perennially popular Leaugers in for Aquaman and Martian Manhunter.

It’s worth noting that Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, (a) Flash and (a) Green Lantern haven’t been in the official Justice League in approximately forever now, so JLA/The 99 has been offering the “real” (and/or popular) version of the Justice League for a few months now, while the official Justice League of America title has, in that same time, featured a team consisting of Batman Dick Grayson, Supergirl, Jade, Jesse Quick, Donna Troy, Congorilla and Starman Mikaal Tomas (If you don't read DC super-comics on a regular basis, I imagine at least half of those names are completely unknown to you).

In that time, however, the Justice League of America comic with the oddball cast was selling between 59,686 to 47,093; much, much, much, much better than JLA/The 99.

I find that curious.

There are a lot of plausible explanations for why that might be, of course.

There are indeed, but he hasn't mentioned any of them, so I'll have to take that task myself. It's not merely the price that's the problem. With all due respect to Mr. Mozzoco, does he know anything at all about the verses in the Koran? Always something important to cite in cases like these, IMO, and that includes Sura 2:223, for example:

"Your women are your fields, so go into your fields whichever way you like"

And there's even Sura 8:12 (via Faith Freedom):

"I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them"

And, lest we forget, there's also Mohammed's marriage to the 9-year-old Ayesha to consider.

And even if JLA/99 doesn't actually feature any of those verses, that does not make this acceptable. A religion that promotes violence and even forcing an underaged girl to marry an adult man is not something you just simply whitewash. Why then should it be "shocking" that this propaganda failed?

Mozzoco also says:

Finally, I suppose there’s the possibility that DC didn’t promote it as well as they could have. I know no one sent me any review copies, and, now that I stop and think about it, I don’t remember seeing any reviews of any issue of it anywhere, although I’m sure Newsarama and Comic Book Resources at least must have reviewed at least the first issue.

[...]in the meantime, my mind is thoroughly boggled by the fact that it’s been selling sooooo much worse than Justice League of America.

Not mine. I've provided just a few clues why this book would be undeserving of an audience regardless of sales. And I think a reasonable argument can be made that, in the end, DC Comics, bad as their writing's become today, and even the comics store managers and customers alike, realized that, with the USA's growing understanding of why the Religion of Peace is a bad influence, there was little chance it would find an audience, and that's why they abandoned all attempts to promote this insult to the intellect. As for al-Mutawa, he can dream all he likes, but he will not be able to fool everyone into thinking that the religion, in and of itself, is "peaceful". Certainly not when even now, there's plenty proving otherwise.

(If it matters, there was at least one other source I recall that did look at the first issue of the mini, IGN's Comics section, and they said it was a dreadful, slapped together mishmash, just a clue to how it was only done for the sake of it.)

Also, if the Religion of Peace considers Jews "sons of apes and pigs", then as indicated in this post, that's why the whole "project" is an obscenity to Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster as well. I may not be Siegel or Shuster, but if I were, I would be utterly outraged and disgusted that my classic creation of Superman, among others, were being exploited in some kind of propaganda/whitewash tool for promoting a religion that considers me inferior because I'm one of the "chosen". Indeed, JLA/99 is an obscenity to many DC contributors of yore, even those who aren't Jewish.

While it's good to see that the book was a disastrous seller, something most truly deserved for the disgraceful staffers at DC who put this together, it's sad if anyone promoted this to begin with. Sean Kleefeld, the author of Comic Book Fanthropology, for example, was one of those who basically promoted the miniseries, not to mention the regular 99 comics themselves over here, here and here. I think it's also worth adding that he fawned over a misogynist screed DC published as well called Identity Crisis, which, besides featuring an almost exclusively male-dominated viewpoint and trivializing a serious subject like rape, also contained allusions to 9-11 trutherism and blame-the-victim tactics. If I were a member of 9-11 Families for a Safe & Strong America, I'd be very sick if I saw how people who say they're fans of a now maligned art form were embracing this kind of junk.

Whether or not the comics industry should confront Islamic terrorism head on, they most definitely shouldn't be apologizing for it. And that's why they're failing: because they're doing the exact opposite of what they stood for during WW2.

This Is An Act of War: 'NATO seizes Iranian arms smuggling en route to Taliban'

IF THIS IS TRUE, THEN OBAMA SHOULD AND HAS THE RIGHT TO ATTAK IRAN


From the Jerusalem Post:

Report: Intelligence official says that rockets are most powerful yet to be smuggled to Afghanistan from Iran.

NATO forces intercepted the most powerful Iranian-made rockets ever smuggled to the Taliban in Afganistian, The Associated Press sited an international intelligence official as saying Wednesday. The rockets were to be used for the Taliban's spring campaign.

NATO troops captured a three-truck convoy carrying 50 122 millimeter rockets in Southern Nirmuz, near the Iranian and Pakistani borders, the official said.

ISLAM: THE RELIGION OF MISOGYNY UPDATE: CAIRO INT'L WOMEN'S DAY DEMONSTRATION DISRUPTED BY 1000'S OF MISOGYNIST MUSLIM MEN

WASH POST: International Women's Day Egyptian march met by men

Less than three weeks ago, an article appeared in The Washington Post discussing the achievements of women in Egypt during the revolution.

"Women think as differently as they dress here, but they have emerged from the barricades agreeing on one thing: This is their moment in history, and they cannot afford to lose it," wrote The Post's Kathy Lally from Cairo.

The tentative advancements Egyptian women thought they had made during the protests faltered Tuesday. According to Twitter reports from Cairo, a march planned for Tahrir Square in honor of the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day was met by an even larger crowd of men deriding the women for being there and harassing them.

An Egyptian journalist, Ethar El-Katatney, wrote on Twitter, "Was just ranted at by a 'sheikh' telling me to go home and raise my kids." She reported that only a few hundred women had come to what they had been calling the Million Woman March but that thousands of men appeared in the square.

THIS WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN - AS IS THE HIJACKING OF THE EGYPTIAN REVOLUTION.
