WESTERN LEFTISTS DEFEND THEIR ISLAMIC TOVARISCH (COMRADES)

Jennifer Oriel wrote in The Australian about pseudo-westerners who go out of their way to side with Islamofascism. Here's one weird example:

Loretta Napoleoni’s widely acclaimed book The Islamist Phoenix also contains a curious admixture of condemning Islamic State violence while praising the terrorist group’s caliphate ambition. It has been endorsed by Chomsky.

When Chomsky's involved, you know the situation is truly awful. And how can anyone support such a stupid book when the author speaks from both ends of her mouth? Definitely not a book any sensible person who understands the Koran's influence should ever buy.

2 POLICEMEN STABBED AT OLD CITY

They're lucky their wounds weren't severe, but they were attacked:

Two Border Policemen were stabbed early Friday morning near Jerusalem Old City's Lion Gate.

One officer, age 35, was stabbed in the hand, the other, age 19, was stabbed in the neck.

They were transported to Shaarei Tzedek Hospital, where they are listed in light to moderate condition.

More on topic here. The attacker fled the scene. We must hope he's caught.

GIRL SERIOUSLY INJURED IN FIREBOMB ATTACK

Jihadists attacked a car with a firebomb, wounding a girl:

An Israeli driver and his 11 year old daughter were attacked by Arab terrorists who threw a firebomb at his vehicle Thursday night. The two suffered burns, but managed to escape from their burning vehicle. They were treated on the scene by Magen David Adom rescue workers and taken to a hospital in Kfar Sava. The girl is said to be in serious condition by doctors.

Keep her in your prayers and hope the vile terrorists are caught.

AVIGDOR LIEBERMAN'S POLITICAL CAREER MAY BE OVER

Lieberman's policies on Israel are already suspect. Add to that how one of his own party's members is being investigated anew for corruption charges:

Police detained over 30 high-ranking government officials on Wednesday for questioning on corruption charges, including Yisrael Beytenu's Deputy Interior Minister Faina Kirschenbaum.

Police say they allegedly used tens of millions of shekels worth of public money from charities and gave it to those close to them politically.

Those brought in for questioning also include a cadre of regional heads, a Knesset director general, former ministers, heads of public corporations, union leaders and political activists.

Lahav 433, the elite anti-fraud police unit, has been investigating the case undercover for the past year and went public with the investigations on Wednesday, when the detentions were made.

As noted before, he's been chummy with corrupt businessman Martin Schlaff, and if he's been doing anything illegal, it should be frowned upon as much as Ehud Olmert's own felonies. A Jerusalem Post writer tells why this time, Lieberman may not have much success:

The theory behind criminal investigations boosting Yisrael Beytenu in the polls is that they awaken a sense of other-ness and victimhood in its traditional voter base, immigrants from the Former Soviet Union, like half of the party's current MKs.

The probes also attract right-wing voters that feel like the Left runs the country, the media, the police, etc. Even though the Right has been in power for years, the most popular newspaper in the country is pro-Netanyahu and a Yisrael Beytenu minister is in charge of police.

Of course, politicians on the Right and Left, religious and secular, Ashkenazi and Sephardic, immigrant and sabra have been investigated for corruption in the years since 1999, but perception is often stronger than facts.

Now that Liberman has distanced himself from both of the groups that identified with the party's victimhood, he might not benefit from that perception anymore.

This is not the first election in which Yisrael Beytenu sought to present itself as not just a party for Russian-speakers, but it is certainly continuing in that vein, and in any case, many sociologists and pollsters say immigrants from the FSU no longer vote in a bloc.

Plus, Liberman presented himself as a centrist in recent weeks, highlighting his support for a two-state solution and saying that isolated settlements will have to be evacuated, even though he lives in one, Nokdim. In addition, the party refuses to confirm or deny reports that the right-wing members of his faction - Tourism Minister Uzi Landau, Agriculture Minister Yair Shamir and MK David Rotem - will not be on the list for the next Knesset. However, he has not backed down from demanding that Israeli-Arabs declare loyalty to the state.

The proudly right-wing parties – Likud and Bayit Yehudi – jumped on all of Liberman's ostensibly leftist statements, and Yisrael Beytenu has been bleeding voters from the Right in the polls without picking any up from the other parties calling themselves centrist – Yesh Atid and Koolanu.

These "centrist" parties have been nothing but trouble for Israel, and it's time to start avoiding them. If Lieberman's willing to support 2-state propaganda, then how does he expect Israel's Muslim citizens to truly remain loyal to Israel? Indeed, his logic is very weak. Besides, most Arabs here actually prefer to live under Israeli sovereignty.

So Lieberman's loss of voters is richly deserved for all the slapdash and dangerous ideas he's willing to uphold. It's time to move away from him and support the right-wing parties that are more loyal to Israel than he'll ever be.

THIRD TERRORIST ATTACK IN FRANCE IN JUST A FEW DAYS

Once again, however, the authorities are acting weakly in what they call it this newest terrible incident in Nantes where a jihadist ran people over with an old Fiat Scudo:

French authorities have ruled out terrorism as a motive for the van attack, despite reports the driver shouted “Allahu akbar” as he piloted the white Fiat van into crowds of people doing last minute Christmas shopping. Hours later police arrested a man reportedly “armed to the teeth” on Tuesday morning.

Despite the similarities to an almost identical motor-attack that occurred less than 24-hours before in the French city of Dijon, the local prosecutor speaking in the wake of this latest event said “We cannot speak of a terrorist act”, saying evidence suggests it was an “isolated case”.

British newspaper The Times reports a number of reliable sources, including a police officer, witnessed the driver of the white van attack in Nantes shouting “Allahu akbar” as he drove into people. The phrase is Arabic and translates as ‘God is Great’.

It is reported the ram-attack specifically targeted a chalet serving mulled wine. After his vehicle came to a rest and he had injured eleven bystanders, five seriously, the driver began to stab himself repeatedly in an apparent, unsuccessful, suicide bid. He is now in police custody.

He should still be crippled in the legs, since that'll make him less of a threat physically. The authorities are now going to have to do some serious thinking and put the country on higher security alerts.

TWO JIHAD ATTACKS IN FRANCE

Jihad in France is getting worse. First, there was an attack at a police station in Tours:

French anti-terrorism police are investigating an attack on a provincial police station where three officers were slashed by an assailant with a large knife before he was shot dead.

The attacker, identified as Bertrand Nzohabonayo, of Burundian origin, shouted Allahu Akbar [God is great] before lunging at the officers at Joué-lès-Tours, a suburb of Tours in central France on Saturday. Two policemen were gravely injured and a third wounded before the man was shot dead.

The perpetrator can rot in hell. Soon after this happened, another Islamofascist hit people with a car in Dijon:

A driver shouting "Allahu Akbar" ("God is greatest") ploughed into pedestrians in eastern France Sunday, injuring 11 of them, just a day after a man yelling the same words was killed in an attack on police officers.

Two of the people injured in the car attack in the city of Dijon were in a serious condition, a police source said, adding that the driver had been arrested.

[...] Witnesses told police that the driver shouted "Allahu Akbar" and "that he was acting for the children of Palestine", a source close to the investigation said.

And their politicians have the gall to claim a race/nation that doesn't exist is worth supporting? This is absolutely abominable, and a prime reason many in France are losing faith in their political representatives.

DAN SLOTT'S SUDDENLY AGAINST COMMUNISTS, OR IS HE?

Who knew that ultra-leftist Slott, of all people, would suddenly speak out against a communist country like North Korea, after the alleged hack at Sony led to their withdrawing The Interview from release to theaters? Yet even then, there's reason to doubt he's sincere. Here's a list of tweets he wrote:

I had no intention of seeing THE INTERVIEW. Now I feel I have to. TWICE! Don't tell what entertainment I can-or-can't watch.
— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 17, 2014

Screw it. I want to watch a TEAM AMERICA + THE INTERVIEW double feature! Get THAT in the theaters! STAT!
— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 17, 2014

Now "Team America" screenings are getting canceled? Of all the-- Dear Hollywood, suck it up.
— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 18, 2014

Free health care, fewer gun-related deaths, & more balls. RT @THR #TheInterview Protest Screenings Planned in Canada http://t.co/32TrJITKYy
— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 21, 2014

Uh oh, here's where it gets fishy. If it's anything like Obama's idea for healthcare, that makes it very troubling, certainly if it's government-run. And there was a terrorist attack a couple weeks ago in Ottawa, so I'm not sure why Slott thinks Canada's got less gun violence.

.@248NYR So I guess from now on we don't hold marathons in Boston? Or put up buildings in NYC? You don't let terrorists dictate your life.
— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 21, 2014

That would be a lot more convincing if he admitted it's wrong to let people going by "holy" scriptures calling for death and annihilation to dictate western policies and threaten their countries. Which leads us to a fascinating question: what if The Interview involved a country like Qatar or Brunei, and they cursed the US and threatened them? Would Slott's reaction be the same? Or would it be different? Suppose Sally Field's movie Not Without My Daughter were filmed today rather than in 1991, what would he think and say? Also odd is how a man giving telling hints of his leftist standpoints is willing to attack a country that could have some of the same policies in place. And he's working for a company whose modern staff forbid any negative word on Islam, so honestly, does he have a point?

I'm sure we'd all like to think Slott's suddenly found some brains, but the signs still indicate that's a long way off.

HARVARD ALMOST CAVED TO ANTI-ISRAELISTS HOSTILE TO SODASTREAM

Harvard University almost stopped using Sodastream products because Muslim students opposed them. But the president of the university recognized the wrong and ensured common sense would prevail:

Harvard University’s president has requested an investigation into the decision by the university’s dining service to stop buying SodaStream equipment.

Drew Faust asked for an investigation into the decision, Provost Alan Garber told The Harvard Crimson student newspaper on Wednesday night.

The request came following an article written earlier in the day by the newspaper reporting that the university’s dining service agreed in April to halt buying the equipment following protests by Palestinian students and their supporters.

The dining service agreed to remove the SodaStream labels on existing water machines and purchase new ones from American companies after university officials met in April with members of the Harvard College Palestine Solidarity Committee and the Harvard Islamic Society, the newspaper reported Wednesday.

“Harvard University’s procurement decisions should not and will not be driven by individuals’ views of highly contested matters of political controversy,” Garber wrote in an email statement to the Crimson late Wednesday night. “If this policy is not currently known or understood in some parts of the University, that will be rectified now.”

Garber said in the statement that neither he nor Faust was aware of the decision before reading about it in the newspaper. The existing machines are from a company acquired by SodaStream, an Israeli firm that has been a target of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement because of its factory in the West Bank settlement of Maale Adumim.

I'm not sure if Sodastream is still running this kind of business, but the university shouldn't be allowing this kind of fanaticism to dominate their campus. In fact, universities shouldn't even be platforms for politics; I thought they were supposed to be for learning trades like science, medicine, and agriculture. Political nonsense should be the last thing any university or college wants littering their grounds with its toxic effects.

THE ANTI-COP POGROM AKA THE OBAMA INTIFADA

A FEW WEEKS AGO, WE CALLED THE  LEFT'S ORGANIZED, NATIONAL AND COORDINATED ASSAULT ON POLICE A POGROM.

WIKI:

A pogrom is a violent riot aimed at massacre or persecution of an ethnic or religious group, particularly one aimed at Jews. The term originally entered the English language to describe 19th- and 20th-centuryattacks on Jews in the Russian Empire (mostly within the Pale of Settlement in present-day Ukraine and Belarus). Similar attacks against Jews at other times and places also became retrospectively known as pogroms. The word is now also sometimes used to describe publicly sanctioned purgative attacks against non-Jewish ethnic or religious groups.^{[4][5][6][7][8]}

WITH THE RECENT ASSASSINATION OF TWO NYPD COPS, MAYBE EVERYONE WILL SOON START TO AGREE THAT THIS IS NOW A POGROM.

IT STARTED IN A NON-VIOLENT WAY; THE LEFT STARTED WITH A POLITICAL ATTACK ON OUR DEFENSES:

THE NYPD HAVE ALREADY BEEN ORDERED BY THE SEIU/WORKING FAMILIES PARTY/NLG-SUPPORTED SOCIALIST MAYOR DEBLASIO TO END STOP-AND-FRISK AND END ALL MOSQUE SURVEILLANCE.

THESE TWO MOVES HAVE MADE. NYC LESS SAFE FOR LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS AND SAFER FOR ARMED CRIMINALS AND JIHADISTS.

THE LEFTIST INSPIRED POLITICAL ATTACKS ON THE POLICE AND THE ASSASSINATIONS FURTHER WEAKEN OUR FIRST LINE IF DEFENSE.

THIS IS THE ENEMY'S GOAL.

THE JIHADISTS ARE USING THE SAME TACTICS IN ISRAEL AND ISLAMIST NEIGHBORHOODS IN EUROPE.

IT'S A POGROM. AN INTIFADA. THE OBAMA INTIFADA. 

BROWN'S DEATH IN FERGUSON AND GARNER'S DEATH IN NYC ARE PALLYWOOD EVENTS LIKE THE SUPPOSED DEATH OF MOHAMED AL DURAH.

(MORE ON AL DURAH HERE.)

UPDATE - VIA GATEWAY:

Ferguson protesters were back out on the street Saturday night in St. Louis.One protester wore a skeleton mask. Another protest leader, Bassem Masri, wore a Palestinian keffiyah scarf.

JUST MORE PROOF THERE IS A POLITICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE ANTI-SEMITIC JIHADISTS ABROAD AND THE LEFTISTS AT HOME.

IF ALLOWED TO CONTINUE, NYC WILL SOON RESEMBLE CHICAGO AND DETROIT,  AND THEN CAIRO AND KABUL.

THIS ASSAULT ON TRUTH AND OUR ABILITY TO DEFEND OURSELVES WON'T END HERE UNTIL WE NEUTRALIZE OBAMA AND DEBLASIO AND SHARPTON AND THEIR COMRADES. 

THE 114TH CONGRESS MUST USE ANY AND ALL CONSTITUTIONAL MEANS TO NEUTRALIZE OBAMA.

IF THEY FAIL TO ACT, THEN THE VIOLENCE WILL ONLY GET WORSE.

SOMETHING THAT OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES WOULD LIKE.

PREDICTION: OBAMA'S NEXT MOVE: GIVING COP-KILLER MUMIA A PARDON!

JUST SAYING....

THE ANTI-COP BS GOING DOWN NOW ALL OVER THE USA AIN'T NEW; IT'S AN OLD FAV' FROM THE LEFT.

"OFF THE PIG!"

"FREE MUMIA!"

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE CURRENT PRESIDENT AND HIS AG SUPPORT THEM!

WE MIGHT AS WELL HAVE ELECTED AN ACOLYTE OF SAUL ALINSKY AND BILL AYERS AND JEREMIAH WRIGHT AND FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS.

OH. WAIT. WE. DID.

LESBIAN RABBI IN NEW HAMPSHIRE SUPPORTS SHARIA

A bizarre story comes from New England:

A story from New Hampshire reminds us once again that liberals are often willing to commit suicide to prove how liberal they are.

It would be hard to imagine a more ridiculous scenario than a lesbian rabbi making a public stand in favor of adopting Sharia Law as the new ruling principles of any American state, but Rabbi Robin Nafshi of New Hampshire has done just that.

With the type of smug ”I’m a liberal, so I’m smarter than you” hubris only the sickest of liberals can muster, Rabbi Nafshi scolds her fellow Granite Staters in a piece she has curiously titled “The Misguided push to ban Sharia Law.”

Of course, the Rabbi takes an obligatory shot at Republicans as she whines that the final point in their statement of Party principles says, “Take any and all actions possible to protect against the implementation of any part of Sharia Law in New Hampshire, including legislation outlawing Sharia law.”

Her hollow argument makes a comparison between Sharia Law as the Muslim way of life and Halakhah, the Jewish way of life. This idiot must think that Jews cut the heads off homosexuals and blow up non-Jews in belief that doing so will ensure their place in paradise. Sure thing rabbi–not a dime’s with of difference, right?

If she's a Reform, she's one of the dumbest and most revolting in the business, shaming the religion she has no business being part of and shilling for one that would suppress her too. No wonder the Reform movement's collapsing today.

JOSHUA DYSART GOING TO KURDISTAN, BUT UNDER UN SPONSORSHIP

The comics writer Joshua Dysart has announced on his site he's traveling to Iraq's Kurdish region for goals of research. While it would seem like he's taking up a noble mission to help Kurds suppressed by Iraq's Islamofascists, his choice of whom to travel and work with isn't great:

For over a year now I’ve been in contact with some people at the United Nations World Food Programme, the world’s largest humanitarian organization concerned with hunger and food security. We’ve been plotting to tell some stories about the complexity and necessity of feeding the world’s displaced people in an engaging way. Now we’re finally getting started and soon I’ll be leaving for northern Iraq. There, I’ll begin researching the current situation facing Kurdish refugees fleeing the Syrian conflict and the violent push of the Islamic State. The situation is incredibly dire, especially with winter coming. In the Kurdistan Region of northern Iraq the temperatures can range from 40 degrees Fahrenheit down to near 0 this time of year.

He's right that ISIS are the evil entity, and that nobody innocent should have to starve, but why does he think a political organization that's been Islamofascism's worst enabler - with some of the worst violators of human rights sitting on their own security councils - are the kind of people he should be associating himself with? The UN was also guilty of involvement in the Oil-for-Food scandal, and one of their worst members of recent was Richard Falk, an anti-Israelist and 9-11 Truther. Falk's offenses even include blaming America after the terrorist attack at Boston's marathon. Why associate himself with an organization that's not what some used to think it was, if it ever was at all?

Dysart's mission may be for a good cause, but he shouldn't be working with members of the UN to fulfill it, since they're some of the most dishonest people you can find, and willfully employed some pure scum on their payroll. If he were smart, he'd look for a better relief organization to travel to Kurdistan with.

WOW: NASA CO2 MAP SHOWS BIOMASS BURNING IN SOUTH AMERICA AND AFRICA RELEASES MORE CO2 THAN US AND EU INDUSTRIES!

BBC:

Nasa's Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO-2) has returned its first global maps of the greenhouse gas CO2. 

The satellite was sent up in July to help pinpoint the key locations on the Earth's surface where carbon dioxide is being emitted and absorbed. 

This should help scientists better understand how human activities are influencing the climate. 

The new maps contain only a few weeks of data in October and November, but demonstrate the promise of the mission. 

Clearly evident within the charts is the banding effect that describes how emitted gases are mixed by winds along latitudes rather than across them. 

Also apparent are the higher concentrations over South America and southern Africa. These are likely the result of biomass burning in these regions.

THE REGIONS THAT ARE RED HAVE MUCH MORE CO2 THAN THE OTHER REGIONS.

THE RED REGIONS ARE HIGH CO2 PRODUCING REGIONS BECAUSE THEY HAVE FOREST FIRES, AND BECAUSE THEY BURN A LOT OF WOOD AND DRIED MANURE AS FUEL: WIKI:

Dry animal dung is used as a fuel in many countries around the world. It is a source of Green fuel used by more than two billion people.[1][2] However, it might have some disadvantages, such as air pollution.[3] As a cheap bioenergy source, it has gained growing interest.[4]

MORE:

Burning issues: tackling indoor air pollution, 7 May 2011 by The Lancet: "According to WHO, 2 million people die as a result of the smoke generated by open fires or crude stoves within their homes every year. Indoor air pollution has been definitively linked to lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and pneumonia, the risk of which is doubled by exposure to indoor smoke. More than 900 000 people die from pneumonia caused by indoor air pollution every year. 500 million households worldwide—roughly 3 billion people—rely on solid fuels, such as wood, animal dung, or coal, for cooking and heating. These fuels are usually burned in a rudimentary stove, or in a traditional open fire. It need not be a problem, at least in terms of health. But only assuming the fuel is completely combusted—wood must be dry, and the stove must work efficiently—and there is plenty of ventilation, a spacious chimney, or a sizeable window. In those places where the use of solid fuels prevails, however, these conditions rarely apply, and the consequences can be severe."
"Yet, 'despite the magnitude of this growing problem' notes WHO 'the health impacts of exposure to indoor air pollution have yet to become a central focus of research, development aid, and policy making'....But the past year has had some encouraging advances."
"In September, 2010, the UN Foundation launched the Global Alliance for Clean Cook Stoves....The Alliance—a public-private initiative—brings together partners from the range of specialties across which the issue of indoor air pollution sprawls. There is public health, of course, but also energy, international development, female empowerment, climate change, technology, and business."
"The real benefits will be seen by switching to cleaner fuels and cleaner stoves. Improved stoves—those fitted with fans, for example—combust fuel more efficiently, have lower emissions, and require shorter cooking times."[1]

IF THESE REGIONS HAD MORE INDUSTRIAL POWER PLANTS AND ELECTRICITY THEN THE PEOPLE BURNING MANURE AT HOME FOR COOKING AND HEATING FUEL COULD USE ELECTRICITY INSTEAD,

IN OTHER WORDS:

TO REDUCE CO2 THE WORLD NEEDS MORE INDUSTRIALIZATION, NOT LESS.

EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF THE LEFTIST AGENDA.

IF CLIMATE CHANGE HYSTERIA WERE NOT REALLY AN ATTACK ON THE WEST'S INDUSTRIALIZATION - AND AN ATTEMPT OF THE LEFT TO GAIN CONTROL OVER IT, THEN THEY'D BE SUPPORTING MORE INDUSTRIALIZATION IN SOUTH AMERICA AND AFRICA.

THE FACT THAT THEY AREN'T PROVES THEY ARE NOT REALLY AGAINST MAN-MADE CO2, AND THAT THEIR CO2PHOBIA IS MERELY A STRATEGY TO GAIN POWER OVER THE ECONOMY.

HERE'S THE REAL REASON OIL HAS CRASHED: SAUDI'S AND GULF STATES PREPARING FOR IAF STRIKE ON IRAN

1 - THE HOUSE OF SAUD IS VERY UNHAPPY WITH OBAMA'S APPEASEMENT OF IRAN AND HANDLING OF SYRIA:

THE WSJ - 9/26/13:

The Obama administration's handling of overtures on Syria and Iran have outraged regional ally Saudi Arabia, which is signaling it wants to do more to boost the power of armed Sunni rebel groups on the ground in Syria as the U.S. pursues diplomacy. 

Saudis fear that Syrian President Basher al-Assad will use the time afforded by U.S.- and U.N.-backed diplomacy on Syria "to impose more killing and to torture its people," Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal said Thursday night in New York, in a warning that was overshadowed by the attention paid to the weekend's first public contacts in three decades between the presidents of Iran and the U.S. 

Accordingly, Saudi Arabia wants "intensification of political, economic and military support to the Syrian opposition…. to change the balance of powers on the ground" in Syria, Prince Saud said in his remarks to the Friends of Syria group, a coalition of Western and Gulf Arab countries and Turkey that supports the Syria opposition against Mr. Assad. The state-run Saudi Press Agency carried a transcript of his remarks. 

The Saudi government has had no public comment so far on the groundbreaking phone call Friday between U.S. President Barack Obama, whose country Saudi Arabia sees as the main military protector of its interests, and new Iranian President Hasan Rouhani, whose country Saudi Arabia sees as its main threat. 

Asharq al Awsat, one of Saudi Arabia's leading newspapers, led its front page the morning after the phone call with a photo of Mr. Rouhani, bowed over with laughter.

1A - REUTERS - 18/22/13:

In unusually blunt public remarks, Prince Turki al-Faisal called Obama's policies in Syria "lamentable" and ridiculed a U.S.-Russian deal to eliminate Assad's chemical weapons. He suggested it was a ruse to let Obama avoid military action in Syria. 

"The current charade of international control over Bashar's chemical arsenal would be funny if it were not so blatantly perfidious. And designed not only to give Mr. Obama an opportunity to back down (from military strikes), but also to help Assad to butcher his people," said Prince Turki, a member of the Saudi royal family and former director of Saudi intelligence.

1B - HAARETZ - 3/27/14:

“Why are you abandoning your allies?” fumed Faisal Abbas, editor of Al Arabiya News’ English website, in an op-ed published in Arabic. “You” referred to the United States – and, more specifically, President Barack Obama, who arrives in Saudi Arabia on Friday for a state visit. Abbas, who reflects the prevailing opinions of the Saudi royal court, lists a large number of missteps that he believes characterize the Obama administration. The most important one is the interim deal signed last November with Iran regarding its nuclear program, as well as the present negotiations over a final agreement. 

“Has Washington forgotten the long-standing cooperation between Saudi Arabia and the United States in the war on terror?” Abbas asks. “Has it forgotten that it was Iran that destabilized Iraq after the toppling of Saddam Hussein? That it’s rocking Lebanon and Bahrain, that it supports Hezbollah and has captured three islands in the Persian Gulf that belong to the United Arab Emirates? An American strategy that ignores all these to placate Iran, while negotiating over its nuclear ambitions, raises grave concerns.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu couldn’t have written a more scathing article.

1C - THE GUARDIAN - 3/28/14

The US President's flying visit – no more than an evening in the Saudi king's palace – is his first since the ousting of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, which drove an initial wedge between Washington and Riyadh. 

Ever since, relations have tangibly soured on every front, with the US outreach to Iran and ambivalence on Syria particularly irking Saudi leaders who believe arch foe Tehran has been empowered at their expense. So bothered has Riyadh become by what it sees as naive appeasement of Iran, that it now seems ready to project itself regionally without US cover. 

"The US has underwritten the regional security order for the past 70 years and it sees now as a good time to disengage?," one senior figure put to the Guardian recently. "We will have to do it all ourselves."

2 - RALPH PETERS, TODAY:

This week, oil fell through the price floor of $60 a barrel and gas at my local filling station was $2.26 a gallon. 

That’s great news for commuters and almost every business, but wonderfully bad news for our ugliest enemies. 

If oil prices remain low through next year, the effect on rogue governments, from the Russian Federation to Venezuela, will go from damaging to devastating. 

But Western economies (and China’s) stand to benefit, with cheap oil possibly tickling Europe’s snoozing markets awake. Even most underdeveloped states will get a welcome break. 

This price plunge has been driven by Saudi Arabia, OPEC’s dominant power. While it’s true that part of Riyadh’s actions respond to the energy renaissance in North America, the greater motivation is breaking Iran’s will.The Saudis believe they can no longer rely on the US to contain Tehran’s imminent nuclear threat, so they’re out to do what our lukewarm sanctions couldn’t.

IN MY OPINION, IT'S NOT THAT THE SAUDIS THINK THEY CAN BREAK IRAN ECONOMICALLY WITH A SERIOUS DROP IN OIL RICES.

IN MY OPINION, THE SAUDIS AND THE GULF STATES, UNDERSTAND THAT IN THE ABSENCE OF A RELIABLE AND COURAGEOUS ALLY IN THE USA, (WHICH IS THE CASE SINCE OBAMA HAS BEEN IN OFFICE) - ONLY ISRAEL CAN DESTROY THE IRANIAN NUCLEAR INDUSTRY.

THEIR GREATEST FEAR OF SUCH AN ATTACK WAS WHAT IT WOULD DO TO OIL PRICES AND TO THE GLOBAL ECONOMY:

PRICES WOULD TRIPLE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER AN ATTACK - IN PART JUST BECAUSE OF FEAR, AND ALSO BECAUSE IRAN WOULD MOST LIKELY BE ABLE TO LAUNCH A COUNTER-ATTACK THAT WOULD DEMOLISH A GREAT DEAL OF THE GULF STATES' OIL INFRASTRUCTURE.

THOUGH SOME MIGHT THINK THAT THE HOUSE OF SAUD LIKES ANY HIGH PRICE, THE FACT IS THEY REALLY JUST LIKE THE HIGHEST PRICE THEIR CUSTOMERS CAN AFFORD.

A $300/BARREL PRICE WOULD DESTROY THE GLOBAL ECONOMY.

SO THEY HAVE BEEN STEADILY BRINGING THE RICE DOWN SO THAT AFTER THE IAF ATTACKS - AND AFTER OIL TRIPLES - IT WILL ON;Y REACH $130-150/BARREL FOR A FEW/SEVERAL MONTHS, A PRICE THE GLOBAL ECONOMY CAN LIVE WITH.

SO... IF I WAS IRAN, THEN I'D BE VERY VERY WORRIED. SCARED EVEN THAT AN IAF ATTACK WAS IMMINENT.

MORE SCARED THEN SONY.

PREDICTION: THE IAF WILL ATTACK ON A NEW MOON - PERHAPS THE ONE IN MARCH - 3/20/15...

HERE'S WHY LEFTISTS DON'T CARE THAT OBAMA VIOLATED THE LAW TO BAILOUT THE CASTRO REGIME

OBAMA HAS BROKEN THE LAW... AGAIN, AND THE LEFT DOESN'T SEEM TO MIND.

THEY LIKE THE NEW PRO-CASTRO POLICY.

WE CAN DEBATE THE VALUE OF AN EMBARGO.

BUT THEY SHOULD WANT ANY CHANGE IN POLICY TO BE DONE LAWFULLY.

THE BI-PARTISAN CUBAN DEMOCRACY ACT OF 1992 - PASSED BY CONGRESS AND SIGNED INTO LAW BY THE PRESIDENT - PROHIBITED ANY CHANGE IN CUBA'S DIPLOMATIC AND TRADE STATUS UNLESS AND UNTIL THE PRESIDENT REPORTS TO CONGRESS CERTIFYING THAT CUBA HAS MADE DEMOCRATIC REFORMS AND THAT CUBANS HAVE THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS.

OBAMA CLEARLY VIOLATED THIS LAW.

OBAMA'S MOVE IS LAWLESS.

IT VIOLATES THE PRINCIPLE OF THE RULE OF LAW.

BY DOING IT IN SPITE OF THE LAW - AND IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH THE LAW, OBAMA IS ACTING LIKE A DICTATOR AND NOT THE PRESIDENT OF A DEMOCRATIC, CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.

OBAMUNISTS SHOULDN'T SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE IT SETS A BAD PRECEDENT.

IT COULD ALLOW A PRESIDENT NAMED CRUZ OR PALIN OR WALKER ACT BY FIAT AND CANCEL LAWS THEY LIKE - SUCH AS GUN CONTROL, OBAMACARE OR THE EPA OR THE INCOME TAX, FOR EXAMPLE.

WHY ARE THEY SO BLIND TO THE DANGER F THESE LAWLESS, DICTATORIAL PRECEDENTS?

SIMPLE;

• LEFTISTS ARE SO CONSUMED WITH POWER...
• AND SO UPSET THAT THEY'RE LOSING IT - 
• BY LOSING THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE ...
• AND SO MANY GOVERNORSHIPS AND STATE HOUSES, 
• THAT THEY RE WILLING TO ACCEPT ANYTHING OBAMA DOES... 
• THAT EITHER TRANSFORMS US INTO A MORE SOCIALIST NATION... 
• OR BRINGS US CLOSER TO A CLOWARD-PIVEN COLLAPSE ...
• THAT DESTROYS ALL OUR INSTITUTIONS AND CLEARS THE DECK ...
• FOR AN ENTIRELY COMMUNIST STATE.

CONGRESS MUST NOT LET OBAMA'S LAWLESS CUBAN GAMBIT STAND.

TWO ARTICLES ON TODAY'S BBC NEWS SUMMARIZE WHY WE ARE LOSING THE WAR AGAINST JIHADISM

TODAY'S BBC NEWS::

1 - Boko Haram unrest: Nigerian militants 'kidnap 100 villagers' -  33 dead

THIS ARTICLE USES THE WORD "ISLAMIC" ONCE, AND NEVER USES THE WORD MUSLIM.

2 - Geert Wilders faces charges over 'anti-Moroccan' speech:

Mr Wilders, who leads the Party for Freedom (PVV), has often expressed his distaste for Islam and mass immigration.
In response to the prosecution, Mr Wilders described the charges in a statement as "a travesty".
"The public prosecutor would do better to devote his time to prosecuting jihadis instead of me," he said.
Mr Wilders made his comments during a political meeting in The Hague.
Asking supporters in a cafe if they wanted fewer Moroccans in the country, some responded by chanting "Fewer! Fewer! Fewer!"
The politician then replied: "I will fix it for you."

AS JIHADISTS SLAUGHTER AND ENSLAVE THOUSANDS EACH WEEK ALL OVER THE GLOBA, THE AUTHORITIES IN THE WEST USE THEIR COERCIVE POWER TO ENFORCE SHARIA.

WE CANNOT DEFEAT THE ENEMY IF OUR POLITICIANS ATTACK OUR PATRIOTS INSTEAD OF OUR ENEMIES.

MOST OF OUR POLITICIANS HAVE AS MUCH COURAGE AS THE WHINING, PHONY, MENDACIOUS TWO-FACED EXECUTIVES AT SONY WHO JUST CAVED INTO NORTH KOREA.

PATHETIC.

WE NEED TO EMPOWER MORE POLITICIANS LIKE GEERT WILDERS AND NIGEL FARAGE AND MARINE LE PEN IF WE ARE GOING TO DEFEAT THE LIKES OF BOKO HARAM AND ISIS, AND AL QAEDA AND THE TALIBAN AND THE FILIPINO MLF.

EU REMOVES HAMAS FROM BLACKLIST

A court for the EU has given its support for Hamas' barbarism by excising the jihadist gang from their blacklistings:

The European Union's second-highest court on Wednesday annulled the bloc's decision to keep Hamas on a list of terrorist organizations, but temporarily maintained the measures for a period of three months or until an appeal is closed.

The General Court of the European Union said the contested measures were not based on an examination of Hamas' acts but on imputations derived from the media and the Internet.

The court said it was nevertheless maintaining the effects of the measures in order to ensure that any possible future freezing of funds would be effective.

Uh uh, I don't buy their defense here. How do we know they haven't been giving Hamas some money and kickbacks under the table? This is nothing more than a show of weakness.

Israel is concerned Hamas may use the opportunity to renew its activities in Europe.

On Wednesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for Hamas to be immediately returned to the terrorist blacklist, saying Israel was not satisfied with the EU's explanation that the removal of Hamas from the list was merely a "technical matter."

"The burden of proof is on the European Union," Netanyahu said. "Hamas is a murderous terrorist organization, with the stated goal, in its charter, of destroying Israel. We will continue to fight against it with determination and strength, so that it will never achieve this aim."

Again, their defense for this pathetic cave-in does not work at all, and if they're really serious, they should return them to the blacklist immediately.

THIS CUBAN RESET WILL BE AS GOOD FOR US THE RUSSIAN RESET - in other words, it will suck

WHY DID OBAMA PRESS THE CUBA RESET BUTTON NOW!?!?

Simple: The Castro Regime was more likely to fall now than ever.

Obama is rescuing them.

He's not for peace; he's on the other side.

TED EXPLAINS IT ALL HERE:

SONY APPEASES GENOCIDAL NORTH KOREAN TYRANNY

TGWP: Sony Bows to North Korea: Cancels Release of ‘The Interview’

Appeasement always just encourages more bad behavior. 

ROB LOWE GETS' IT: 

In a tweet on Wednesday, actor Rob Lowe compared Sony's decision to cancel the scheduled Dec. 25 release of "The Interview" to the strategic mistake that is widely blamed for emboldening Nazi Germany just before World War II.  Lowe said the cancellation of the movie, which followed a massive hack on Sony studios, would have made former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain "proud."

I cannot wait to see what's next. 

If we had a patriot in the WH, then he'd have a screening of the movie this weekend!

UPDATE: The WH doesn't have a clue as to what's next. TYPICAL.

AMERICAN LEFTISTS LIE AS FREELY AS ISLAMISTS

The Apostle said:

“Who will rid me of Ibnul-Ashraf?” Muhammad bin Maslama, brother of the Bani Abdu’l-Ashhal, said, “I will deal with him for you, O Apostle of God, I will kill him.” He said, “Do so if you can.” “All that is incumbent upon you is that you should try” {said the Prophet to Muhammad bin Maslama}. He said, “O Apostle of God, we shall have to tell lies.” He {the Prophet} answered, “Say what you like, for you are free in the matter.”

AND SO THE RIGHT TO LIE - TAQQIYA - WAS ESTABLISHED BY MUSLIMS.

RATHERGATE, DUKE LACROSSE, UVA RAPE, CLIMATE CHANGE; HANDS UP IN FERGUSON, YOU CAN KEEP YOUR HEALTHCARE PLAN... (THE RECENT LIST IS ENDLESS) ... ALL HAVE THIS IN COMMON WITH THE TAQQIYA.

LEFTISTS - LIKE ISLAMISTS - ARE FREE TO TELL LIES IF THEY THINK IT WILL HELP THEIR CAUSE.

AND THAT'S WHAT THEY DO.

THEY HAVE TO:

THE TRUTH IS NOT ON THEIR SIDE.

UNBELIEVABLE: ARCHAEOLOGISTS DISCOVER 1200 YEAR OLD SUV IN CALIFORNIA!

SUCH A FIND IS UNBELIEVABLE BECAUSE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

RECENT ARGUMENTS THAT THE CURRENT DROUGHT IN CALIFORNIA IS THE RESULT OF MAN-MADE CLIMATE CHANGE ARE JUST AS UNBELIEVABLE:

THE GUARDIAN:

A new paper published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters by Griffin & Anchukaitis concludes that the 2012–2014 drought in California was its most intense in at least 1,200 years. 

The study used drought reconstructions from tree-ring cores, from the North American Drought Atlas (NADA) and from cores Griffin & Anchukaitis collected from blue oak trees in southern and central California. Blue oak tree ring widths are particularly sensitive to moisture changes. ...  

... The study compared today’s drought conditions in California to those reconstructed over the past 1,200 years using the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), an estimate of available soil moisture. The data showed that California is experiencing its most intense drought in over a millennium, the current event is the most severe drought in the last 1200 years, with single year (2014) and accumulated moisture deficits worse than any previous continuous span of dry years … In terms of cumulative severity, it is the worst drought on record (-14.55 cumulative PDSI), more extreme than longer (4- to 9-year) droughts.

WHAT CAUSED THIS HORRIFIC DROUGHT 1200 YEARS AGO? SUV'S? MAN-MADE CO2?

OR COULD IT HAVE BEEN NATURAL EVENT? YA THINK?!?!?!!?

UNLESS ARCHAEOLOGISTS FIND A WHOLE BUNCHA 1200 YR OLD SUV'S, I'M GONNA HAVE TO SAY THAT IT WAS NATURAL.

AND I'M GONNA SAY THIS ONCE AGAIN, TOO ALL THE CLIMATE ALARMISTS:

STFU.

THE NLG CONNECTION TO OWS, FERGUSON AND THE NATIONAL POGROM ON COPS

An adjunct prof of poetry at CUNY was arrested for assaulting a cop after the anti-cop march in NYC - his name is ERIC LINSKER.

Linsker's lawyer is big time NATIONAL LAWYERS' GUILD operative- Martin Stolar. The NLG is an old time, bigtime communist lawyers' group which is pro islamo-terror; Lynn Stewart was another big-time NLG lawyer and she was convicted of helping al Qaeda. 

Linsker's lawyer - Stolar - was the NLG's point man against the NYPD's mosque surveillance program which NYC Mayor deBlasio shutdown as one of his first acts. 

Holder - [whose law-firm (prior to being selected by Obama to be his AG) aided Gitmo detainees, just as the NLG did] -  and Sharpton and deBlasio must all know each other via the WORKING FAMILIES PARTY - the party that propelled deBlasio's career and which is the creation of the SEIU and ACORN and which is the successor party to the explicitly socialist party "The New Party" which fwas also founded by comrades of race-hustler Jesse Jackson, was the first party line Barry Obama ever ran on. 

The NLG and Stolar also were central to OWS movement which tried to shut down ur nation's financial system and painted all capitalists as evil - much like the anti-cop movement is trying to paint all cops as evil.

IOW: MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT: the nation-wide and NYC anti-COP movement is a coordinated left-wing attack - a left-wing which has actively sought to defend islamo-terrorists and which is pro-CAIR, who returns the favor - a front for the Muslim Brotherhood operation.

Also note that LINSKER IS A BDS/ ANTI-ISRAEL ACTIVIST; he signed up here: http://www.usacbi.org/endorser...

So are they all anti-Israel.

Leftist groups like REVCOM, OWS, CODE PINK do NOT SPONTANEOUSLY protest; they plan and coordinate their agitprop and their protests and their lawfare.

And they are working hand-in-glove with people in the Working Families Prty including Mayor deBlasio and USAG Holder and Al "Tawana" Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

Obama/Jarrett has defended them and attacked the cops. And Soros finances some of them.

All this is aimed to advance socialism and Islam.

REPEAT: neither the Trayvon Martin tumult or the Ferguson riots or the current pogrom against our cops were spontaneous. 

They are part of a concerted effort by leftist politicians and their comrades to undermine our ability to defend our civilization in order to replace it with a pro-islamic socialist one.

UPDATE: MUCH MORE HERE.

UPDATE2: SEIU IS DEEPLY INVOLVED - AND ONE OF ITS ACTIVISTS ASSAULTED A COP DURING A PROTEST.
