HOW OUR PANDERER IN CHIEF DID IT


It is a project begun at the turn of the previous century by "an alliance of experts and victims," Mr. Mansfield says. "Social scientists and political scientists were very much involved in the foundation of the progressive movement. What those experts did was find ways to improve the well-being of the poor, the incompetent, all those who have the right to vote but can't quite govern their own lives. And still to this day we see in the Democratic Party the alliance between Ph.D.s and victims." 
The Obama campaign's dissection of the public into subsets of race, sex and class resentments is a case in point. "Victims come in different kinds," says Mr. Mansfield, "so they're treated differently. You push different buttons to get them to react."

Obama's "Arab Spring" = Chamberlain's "Peace For Our Time"

Today, as the final door shuts on the Islamic Totalitarianism of Eygpt, we find that our President set us up for this mess, this failure.

Remember that when Neville Chamberlain came back from meeting with Hitler and declared, "Peace for our time," after he gave up the Sudetenland, there was an interim of about six months before Hitler went back on his word and invaded the whole of Czechoslovakia.

Likewise, President Obama has, since 2011, been championing the Arab Spring as a means to Peace in the Islamic world. 


The fear has always been that this Arab Spring path to Democracy would lead to just another Islamic government, in the mode of the Islamic Revolution in Iran.


Today we find that the Muslim Brotherhood are hiring militias to beat people who oppose the new Constitution.

I predicted this last week, saying:
The next two months are going to be historic, and will likely include violence in the street by Islamic Militias "loosely tied" to the Muslim Brotherhood. These Militias will act as Morality Police, beginning the enforcement of Sharia through intimidation, and outright beat-downs, of protestors. 
In three months from now, the Arab Spring will be fully revealed for what it is, and has always been, since it's Muslim Brotherhood/Obama-inspired inception; The Sharia Sewer. 
Egypt will look more like Iran than it will resemble anything heretofore known as a Democracy. And Obama will still be proclaiming his victorious policy in helping further the "Arab Spring".
Today, Egypt is Iran, and Obama's Arab Spring is the equivalent of Chamberlain's "Peace for our time."

Muslim Brotherhood “Paying Gangs To Rape Women And Beat Men” Protesting Against Morsi
Egypt’s ruling party is paying gangs of thugs to sexually assault women protesting in Cairo’s Tahrir Square against President Mohamed Morsi, activists said. 
They also said the Muslim Brotherhood is paying gangs to beat up men who are taking part in the latest round of protests, which followed a decree by President Morsi to give himself sweeping new powers. 
Around 200,000 people gathered yesterday in Tahrir Square, the heart of last year’s revolution which toppled President Hosni Mubarak. 
Large marches from around Cairo flowed into the square, chanting ‘Constitution: Void!’ and The people want to bring down the regime.’ 
But amid the calls for democracy a sinister threat has emerged. 
Magda Adly, the director of the Nadeem Centre for Human Rights, said that under Mubarak, the Government paid thugs to beat male protestors and sexually assault women. 
‘This is still happening now,’ she told The Times. ‘I believe thugs are being paid money to do this … the Muslim Brotherhood have the same political approaches as Mubarak,’ she said. 
One protestor, Yasmine, told the newspaper how she had been in the square filming the demonstrations for a few hours when the crowd suddenly turned. 
Before she knew what was happening, about 50 men had surrounded her and began grabbing her breasts. She said they ripped off her clothes, starting with her headscarf and for nearly an hour, indecently assaulted her with their hands.

LATEST ANTI-SEMITIC BLOOD LIBEL BY ARAB SCUM: ISRAEL SPREADING AIDS TO ARABS


JPOST:

Israel is responsible for the increase in the number of AIDS patients in the Palestinian territories, As'ad Ramlawi, director of Primary Heath Care in the Palestinian Authority, claimed Saturday. 
Ramlawi's allegation was reported by the PA's official new agency Wafa. 
Ramlawi was speaking during an event organized by the PA Ministry of Health in Jenin, marking the United Nation's World Aids Day. 
He claimed that Palestinians who go to work in Israel are subjected to "political blackmail" by Israeli authorities - something that exposes them to AIDS. 
Ramlawi did not explain what he meant by "political blackmail" and how it is connected to AIDS. 
But some Palestinians have in the past claimed that Israeli security forces recruit "collaborators" by first seducing them to have sexual intercourse with prostitutes and then threatening to publish their photos in public if they refused to serve as informants.
In the past, Egyptian newspapers had also accused Israel of spreading AIDS in the Arab world by dispatching prostitutes to these countries.
THIS FILTHY LIE - ONE THAT ONLY IDIOTS CAN POSSIBLY BELIEVE  - (WHICH IS WHY SO MANY ARABS BELIEVE IT!) - AND IT WAS SPREAD BY AN OFFICIAL OF THE P.A., NOT SOME RANDOM STREET THUG IN GAZA.

IT REFLECTS THE VERY VILE AND VERY WIDESPREAD EVILNESS OF THE ARAB PEOPLE AND MOST MUSLIMS.

AND FOR THIS THEY DESERVE ANOTHER STATE?


IF YOU WANNA GIVE A STATE TO THESE ANTI-SEMITIC, ISLAMO-MISOGYNISTIC GENOCIDAL COCKROACHES, THEN YOU'D MIGHT AS WELL GIVE A STATE TO CHARLES MANSON.


EXHUMING ARAFAT'S STIFF IS JUST ANOTHER TACTIC FOR DEMONIZING ISRAEL

The Jerusalem Post wrote about the plans of at least a few European nations to waste tons of taxpayers' money to exhume the corpse of the deceased jihadist Yaser Arafat, and said:
As Gaza – purportedly part of the Palestinian totality – was embroiled in fiery conflict, its Ramallah twin engaged in surreal hijinks. Yasser Arafat’s mausoleum reverberated with the din of jackhammers as workmen toiled to pry open their deceased leader’s concrete- encased grave and exhume his remains.

Why? This is another feature of the multifaceted war against Israel. The aim here is to accuse Israel of having assassinated Arafat in 2004 with radioactive poison.

Hot on the heels of Arafat’s demise, conspiracy theories abounded wildly throughout the Arab realm. The only scenario serially discounted was that the 75-year-old Arafat died by natural causes.

The years haven’t mitigated the suspicions/fabrications.
Read the rest, but for now, what's clear is that this is just more of a form of Trutherism by monsters who're obsessed with demonizing Israel for the sake of it.

SOME REBELLION THIS IS TURNING OUT TO BE IN SYRIA

The Sunni Syrian rebels are making quite a bit of progress. For example, they've outlawed women driving (Hat tip: Front Page Magazine):
This is why the provisional Military and Civil Councils of Aleppo have explained the situation to the inhabitants of Aleppo, and have decreed that women are now forbidden to drive. Any person who disobeys this order will be punished until they renounce the practice, if necessary, by the use of force.
And that's not the only taboo in the newly Islamofascist-dominated town of Aleppo: even pictures of family - especially women - are decreed haram:
“My son slept here,” Abu Ghaybar said, standing in his only child’s room. He spotted a blue tricycle atop a small four-door pine dresser. “My son keeps saying ‘baba, are the free army playing with my toys?” (The rebels had their own toys in the room, including a BKC machine gun in one corner.)

Abu Ghaybar moved into the living room, unplugging the TV and removing a few colored pencils from a drawer in the TV cabinet. He gathered up family photos, including a baby picture of his now five-year-old son. He pointed to a bare wall with two nails protruding from it. “My family portraits were here, where are they?” he asked.

“We burnt them,” said one of the dozen or so rebels in the room. “You know, if we come into a house and there are pictures of uncovered women we burn them.”
Yes, the very "rebellion" that's being approved of by Obama, Hollande and Cameron is now imposing these very regressive sharia-based principles upon the rest of the population wherever they're going around Syria. In other words, the country is bound to end up in a situation not all that different from what it's like in Saudi Arabia.

WHY A PALESTINIAN STATE WILL CONTINUE TO BE NON-EXISTENT

Barry Rubin writes about why, despite the farce at the UN assembly this week, a palestinian Islamic state will only continue to be a big fantasy.

BLUEWATER'S GRAPHIC NOVEL ABOUT THE TAKEDOWN OF BIN LADEN

Politico's written about the new graphic novel from Bluewater called Killing Geronimo: The Hunt for Bin Laden, about the efforts to track and punish the jihadist monster who masterminded the attack on the WTC on 9-11.

OBAMA ADMINSTRATION'S CONDEMNATION OF HOUSING APPROVAL CONTRADICTS THEIR OPPOSITION TO PLO STATEHOOD

The Israeli government approved construction for 3,000 housing units in Jerusalem and Judea/Samaria:
Less than 24 hours after the United Nations voted to recognize the Palestinian Authority as a non-member observer state, Israel has responded by approving construction of new Jewish homes.

On Friday afternoon, the forum of nine senior ministers approved the construction of 3,000 housing units in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria.

In addition, the nine ministers decided to promote the building of thousands of housing units in Jerusalem and in the so-called ‘settlement blocs’, including the area known as E1 which connects Jerusalem and Maale Adumim, a long-standing request.

A senior diplomatic source said, according to a Channel 2 News report, that "continued construction is done according to Israel's strategic interests." The source added that additional measures to respond to the PA’s unilateral move are currently being considered.

As expected, PA officials reacted with anger to the Israeli decision. Israel had warned that the step would lead to a reaction.
But how does the Obama administration respond? Predictably with negativity as before:
The White House said on Friday a new Israeli settlement expansion plan was "counterproductive" and could make it harder to bring Israel and the Palestinians back to the negotiating table. [...]

"We reiterate our longstanding opposition to settlements and east Jerusalem construction and announcements," White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said.

"We believe these actions are counterproductive and make it harder to resume direct negotiations or achieve a two-state solution," Vietor said. "Direct negotiations remain our goal and we encourage all parties to take steps to make that easier to achieve."

Last week, Washington urged Israel not to allow construction in the area known as E-1 between Jerusalem and Ma’aleh Adumim as a possible response to the Palestinian UN bid.

Building in E-1, which would create contiguity between Jerusalem and Ma’aleh Adumim to the northeast beyond the Green Line, is something various Israeli governments have long wanted to do, but which US opposition has prevented.
I'm sorry, but I fail to see how the White House's opposition to Israel's right to develop its own land amounts to opposition to the PLO's own one-sided tactics. The PLO has shown no sign that they wish to provide security for Israelis and if they're going to be so hostile and further the lies of a "palestinian people" then this is all they can expect for their contempt. A real shame that the Obama administration is continuing with the same line as before, and failing to prove that they're really against this whole farce being conducted at the UN.

LOOK HOW THESE PSEUDO-CONS ARE FAWNING OVER NORQUIST

Grover Norquist, the shady Islam apologist in the GOP, has been sugarcoated lately by at least one writer for Big Government. Why are they keeping on with this nonsense? Robert Spencer's already stressed why it's better for Republicans to avoid this awful man, yet not only they, but even some right-wing writers are continuing with superficial approaches to a man who's opposed discussion of Islam at CPAC. I also don't understand why some leftists might have a negative viewpoint of Norquist if he's taken up positions that they actually agree with, but that's beside the point. What matters now is that it's almost like we're back to square one in regards to Norquist's two-faced approach, and those right-wing writers and politicians who continue to gloss over his shady standings have a lot of explaining to do. Let us be clear: we would all like to pay lesser taxes, but money is still nothing compared to safety, and Norquist is not a good choice for someone to turn to in campaigning for lessening tax prices in economy.

THE SELF-INFLICTED GLOOM OF GAZA

Someone wrote a fitting rebuttal to an op-ed in the Boston Globe:
SARA ROY’S Nov. 23 op-ed “Where’s our humanity for Gaza?” is written from a one-sided perspective that ignores reality.

Palestinians were firing hundreds of rockets into Israel, finally precipitating eight days of Israeli retaliation; there were 140 Palestinian fatalities, an unfortunate but extraordinarily low number for such a conflict, reported in often-graphic detail by journalists and nongovernmental organizations alike.

By contrast, there have been more than 35,000 deaths in Syria’s civil war, to which many of the same self-proclaimed humanitarians pay little heed.

During the fighting, Israel continued to supply electricity, food, water, and other assistance to Gaza’s civilians in order to minimize their distress. Contrary to the malicious accusations of Israel’s critics, including the bogus profanity of “genocide” that some raise, the only disproportionate response in the recent fighting was that of those who consider any Israeli military success inherently unfair.

Gaza is not “occupied” by anyone other than the Gazans themselves. Their misery is self-inflicted.

As for the blockade, what sane country would open its borders unconditionally to a neighboring people who have proven in word and deed that they mean to destroy it?
The woman who wrote that article that was predisposed to siding with the Islamofascists occupying Gaza should be ashamed of herself.

Update: in a related subject, ambassador Michael Oren's written in the Wash. Post (via Israel Matzav) about how the MSM willfully buys into the Hamas' media manipulations hook, line and sinker.

UN PREDICTABLY SUPPORTS RECOGNIZING PLO AS A STATE, SORT OF

At least 139 countries voted willfully for this farce, though it doesn't really change anything, and is more related to PLO infighting. As a result, it'll hopefully backfire. The Wall Street Journal (via Hot Air) says:
[T]he vote offered a showcase for an extraordinary international lineup of support for the Palestinians and constituted a deeply symbolic achievement for their cause, made even weightier by arriving on the 65th anniversary of the General Assembly vote that divided the former British Mandate of Palestine into two states, one Jewish and the other Arab — a vote that Israel considers the international seal of approval for its birth…

A major concern for the Americans is that the Palestinians might use their new status to try to join the International Criminal Court. That prospect particularly worries the Israelis, who fear that the Palestinians might press for an investigation of their practices in the occupied territories.

Another worry is that the Palestinians might use the vote to seek membership in specialized agencies of the United Nations, a move that could have consequences for the financing of the international organizations as well as the Palestinian Authority itself. Congress cut off financing to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, also known as Unesco, in 2011 after it accepted Palestine as a member. The United States is a major contributor to many of these agencies and plays an active role on their governing boards.
And it's time to stop funding such horrendous operations since it's a complete waste of taxpayers' money. But don't be sure that the Obama administration will actually do this themselves. Susan Rice, who's been celebrating her newest diplomatic "victory" has said at least one right thing:
Today’s grand pronouncements will soon fade. And the Palestinian people will wake up tomorrow and find that little about their lives has changed, save that the prospects of a durable peace have only receded

[T]oday’s vote should not be misconstrued by any as constituting eligibility for U.N. membership. It does not. This resolution does not establish that Palestine is a state.

The United States believes the current resolution should not and cannot be read as establishing terms of reference. In many respects, the resolution prejudges the very issues it says are to be resolved through negotiation, particularly with respect to territory. At the same time, it virtually ignores other core questions such as security, which must be solved for any viable agreement to be achieved.
The Muslims under Fatah's rule may be celebrating now, but that could all change when they discover that indeed, nothing is really different even now.

EUROPEANS TUNING THEIR VIOLINS ON THE DECK OF THE TITANIC: GERMAN POLITICIANS APPROVE CONTINUING GREEK BAILOUT


 
Lawmakers in Germany’s lower house of Parliament easily passed the next round of financial support for Greece on Friday, despite growing doubt among members of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s coalition and opposition parties that the measures will be sufficient to resolve the Greek problem. 
,,, Ms. Merkel has been able to quell calls from within own her center-right coalition for Greece to leave the euro zone, by insisting that the consequences of such a step would be far more dire for Germany than providing more financial assistance. 
Ms. Merkel’s government rests on an alliance of her own conservative Christian Democratic Union with the sister party for the state of Bavaria, the Christian Social Union, and the liberal pro-business Free Democrats. It was not immediately clear if a fully majority of her government had supported the bailout measure.
THIS ONLY DELAYS THE INEVITABLE: THE BAILOUT WILL FAIL AND THE EURO WILL DISAPPEAR.

WHY AM I SO SURE? HERE'S WHY:
Joblessness in the euro zone reached a new record in October, with another 173,000 people out of work, but consumer prices dropped sharply in November and offered some relief to households during the recession. 
... the euro zone economy, which this year sank into its second recession since 2009, may manage only a weak recovery next year and unemployment levels will continue to rise, economists and policymakers say. 
“We have not yet emerged from the crisis,” the European Central Bank president, Mario Draghi, said on Friday. “The recovery for most of the euro zone will certainly begin in the second half of 2013,” he told France’s Europe 1 radio. 
Unemployment rose to 11.7 percent in October, Eurostat said, up from 11.6 percent in September and a marked increase from the 9.9 percent level a year ago, leaving almost 19 million people out of a job.
THE ABILITY OF THE POLITICIANS OF THE WEALTHIER EURO NATIONS TO BAILOUT THE GOVERNMENTS AND ECONOMIES OF GREECE AND SPAIN AND ITALY - WHICH ARE SPIRALING DOWN AND IN NEED OF MORE AND MORE SUPPORT -  IS EVAPORATING:

BBC: 
The respective fortunes of northern and southern Europe diverged further. In Spain, the jobless rate rose to 26.2% from 25.8% the previous month, and in Italy it rose to 11.1% from 10.8%. 
In contrast, unemployment in Germany held steady at 5.4% of the labour force, while in Austria it fell from 4.4% to just 4.3%.
ONLY A POWERFUL POSITIVE EXTERNAL EVENT CAN CHANGE THIS.

LIKE.... $45/BARREL OIL. THAT'S ONLY LIKELY TO HAPPEN IF THE WORLD FALLS INTO A DEPRESSION - OR, IF A COMMERCIALLY VIABLE COLD FUSION ENERGY PROJECT GETS OFF THE GROUND.

CAN THE USA HELP? NOPE.

A ROMNEY VICTORY WOULD HAVE HELPED.

BUT WITH OBAMA AND REID RUNNING WASHINGTON, IT'S LIKELY THE USA WILL CONTINUE DOING WHAT IT'S BEEN DOING: 
  • RUNNING WITHOUT A BUDGET; 
  • WITHOUT SPENDING CUTS; 
  • WITHOUT TAX CUTS; 
  • WITHOUT ANY INCREASED INCENTIVE FOR INVESTMENT;
  • AND WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF CURRENCY CHEAPENING MONEY-PRINTING, AKA "QE3".
IN FACT, WE ARE PROBABLY ALREADY IN A RECESSION HERE IN THE USA:
HOW’S THAT HOPEY-CHANGEY STUFF WORKIN’ OUT FOR YA? (CONT’D):  
Ignore GDP and the Fiscal Cliff, the U.S.A. Is Already in Recession: ECRI’s Achuthan.
There’s another reason to wonder if the GDP numbers tell us as much as we think:  
Ugly 3RD QUATER GDP Confirms Personal Consumption Collapsing; Headline “Growth” Driven By Government, Inventory Accumulation.  
Oh, well, so long as nobody noticed before the election.

CONGRESS THREATENS TO CUT OFF AID TO THE PLO IF IT GOES AHEAD WITH ITS FAUX-STATEHOOD BID AT UN

The Washington Times reports that several senators are working for a vote in Congress to confiscate aid to the PLO as a punishment for its one-sided acts at the corrupt UN:
A bipartisan group of senators said Thursday they’ll push for a vote in Congress to kick the Palestinian Liberation Organization out of its Washington offices and threaten to withhold U.S. financial assistance if the Palestinians seek to use enhanced U.N. status against Israel.

The U.N. General Assembly was expected to vote later Thursday to recognize Palestine as a “non-member observer state,” which Israel and its supporters fear would give Palestinians a chance to use the International Criminal Court against Israel.

“This is a provocative, unhealthy step that will undermine the peace process,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican.

He is sponsoring an amendment along with Sen. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, to administer what amounts to a legislative spanking for the Palestinians.

Mr. Schumer said the debate offers a good chance for bipartisanship in Congress. The senators said they’ll seek a vote as part of the defense policy bill debate, which is currently taking place on the Senate floor.

Under their legislation, the PLO would be kicked out of its Washington office until President Obama certifies that Palestinian officials are engaged in meaningful negotiations with Israel.
They won't be, and I'm not sure Obama would verify it either, knowing where he really stands. That's the drawback to be found in this affair. But this is a good thing Congress is doing, if they do take steps against the PLO.

Not only that, they should also be taking steps to cut off funding for the UN, which only abuses the taxpayers' money round the clock. The UN is long outmoded, and it's time for them to start making do without our hard-earned money to fund their horrific policies.

JUDEA/SAMARIA SHOULD BE ANNEXED

The Women in Green movement has the right idea of how respond to the PLO at the UN: by annexing Judea/Samaria:
The Women in Green movement is calling on the Israeli government to immediately annex Judea and Samaria.

The call came in response to the application by the Palestinian Authority Thursday for status as a non-member observer state at the United Nations General Assembly.

In a statement sent to media, WIG spokespersons Nadia Matar and Yehudit Katsover quoted the founding prime minister of the Jewish State, David Ben Gurion, who said, “What's important is not what the Nations say, but what the Jews do!”

Following the expected vote to approve the PA's application on Thursday, the WIG movement “calls upon the Israeli government to respond with the immediate application of Israeli sovereignty over all Judea and Samaria,” they said.
And they're absolutely correct here. If the Israeli government fails to take proper action, they will be risking a serious letdown of their public.

Update: Danny Dayan also sent a similar letter to the PM's office.

Update 2: another reason why this should be done: Joel Pollak at Big Peace reports that the UN intends to expel and deny access to almost every pro-Israel group from the atrocity they're holding. This is just one more reason why Israel should not even bother to have membership in this abominable outfit; they've never truly respected Israel, and this is just one more step they're taking to shunning all pro-Israeli sources out of their offices completely. Yet we shouldn't even stick around there.

Update 3: Germany has backtracked from their earlier stand and will merely abstain from voting (via Hot Air). Doesn't that figure that such a country would do so. Jeff Dunetz has more.

SHOULD THIS MAN BE EXTRADITED TO BOSNIAN FOR ALLEGED WAR CRIMES?

A Serb-Israeli has been declared extraditable to Bosnia-Herzigovina for allegedly killing Muslims, and the article seems quite intent on demonizing him in that sense:
The Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling to extradite Serb-Israeli Alexander Cvtkovic to Bosnia-Herzegovina for genocide.

Cvtkovic is suspected of involvement in the 1995 "Srebrenica massacre," in which upwards of 8,000 Muslims were murdered after Serb forces overran the town during the 1992-1995 civil war in Bosnia.

Zvtkovic had been declared extraditable by the Jerusalem District Court, but had appealed to the Supreme Court. [...]

The defense had claimed, among other things, that Cvetkovic was stunned by the charges.

It argued that he had been a soldier, but did not participate in the actions attributed to him.

However, according to the testimony of some eyewitnesses, Cvetkovic took part in a massacre at the Branjevo Farm on July 16, 1995.
Just who are these witnesses? If they turn out to be more Muslims themselves, they could be committing taqqiya. As some of the earlier research I'd posted shows, it was the Bosnian Muslims themselves who started the war, and there were very horrific acts they committed against Serbians as well that the MSM predictably avoided publicizing about. And Bosnia is also a country that's not allowing Jews to run for office. And lest we forget that monster named Sulejman Talovic who went on a murderous shooting spree in Salt Lake City.

By extraditing a man who may be innocent, or didn't murder in cold blood as they claim, the politicians in charge of this are signaling they're ungrateful for the help a non-Jewish society gave to Jews during WW2. Is there any chance that an appeal could be made on his behalf?

UN CANNOT FORCE ISRAEL TO JEOPARDIZE ITS SECURITY

The prime minister has reacted to Mahmoud Abbas' atrocious bid for palestinian statehood at a political farce of an operation that's almost completely guaranteed to back him:
With Israel facing a stinging diplomatic defeat Thursday at the UN, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said that regardless of how many vote against Israel, "no force in the world will get me to compromise on Israel's security."

He also said no force in the world can sever the thousands-year-old tie between the Jewish people and the land of Israel.

Relating to the expected overwhelming support of the world to upgrade the Palestinian status at the UN to that of a non-member state, Netanyahu said that the decision will "Not change anything on the ground. It will not further the establishment of a Palestinian state, but will make it more distant."

Netanyahu's comments came while touring an exhibit of recently declassified documents marking the upcoming 35th anniversary of Anwar Sadat's visit to Jerusalem at the Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem.

"Israel's hand is always extended in peace, but a Palestinian state will not be established without recognition of the state of Israel as the state of the Jewish people, without an end-of-conflict declaration, and without true security arrangements that will protect Israel and its citizens."

Netanyahu, who said that none of the conditions he reiterated are even mentioned in the Palestinian's UN resolution, said that peace is only achieved through negotiations, and not by unilateral declarations "which do not take into consideration Israel security needs."

Netanyahu recommended not being impressed by the applause that will likely be heard later at the UN.

"I remember the international community's applause that the government of Israel received when it decided to unilaterally withdraw from Gaza," he said. "We got applause and then rocket fire. We left Gaza, and Iran entered, exactly like what happened in Lebanon."

Netanyahu said he would not enable another Iranian base to be established, this time in Judea and Samaria, a kilometer away from Jerusalem.

"It does not matter how many will vote against us, there is no force in the world that will cause me to compromise on Israeli security and there is no force in the world able to sever the thousands year connection between the people of Israel and the Land of Israel," he said.
Well, he'd better start getting really, REALLY serious about this if he wants to convince them he won't stand for it. It makes little difference even if Ehud Barak was more responsible for stopping the raid on Gaza before it even began, he too has some responsibility to bear, and the question now is if he's got the courage to stand by his convictions.

Going Ghost Galt: Two-thirds of millionaires left Britain to avoid 50% tax rate

From the Telegraph:
In the 2009-10 tax year, more than 16,000 people declared an annual income of more than £1 million to HM Revenue and Customs. 
This number fell to just 6,000 after Gordon Brown introduced the new 50p top rate of income tax shortly before the last general election. 
The figures have been seized upon by the Conservatives to claim that increasing the highest rate of tax actually led to a loss in revenues for the Government. 
It is believed that rich Britons moved abroad or took steps to avoid paying the new levy by reducing their taxable incomes.
If a guy moved in next door to you, and every day he held a gun to your head, and demanded half your money, and the cops and courts were behind him, wouldn't you move to another neighborhood?

Of course you would.

Now, what's the difference between that guy and the government?


DHIMMI EUROPEAN GOVERMENT ARE WILLING TO BACK PLO'S BIDS FOR STATEHOOD AT UN

As the PLO once again turns to the UN for membership status, some disgraceful governments in Europe have announced their support:
Lines were drawn in Europe on Wednesday as the Union failed to agree on a unified approach to a Palestinian bid for a diplomatic upgrade at the United Nations. Germany declared that it would not back the PA's unilateral bid, while Switzerland and Denmark joined a growing list of European countries that do support it.

Britain announced it would support the Palestinian moves only if it received assurances that the PA would return to peace talks and would not seek to prosecute Israelis through the International Criminal Court.
Britain's politicians are just as taqqiya-laden as the ummah itself, and I wouldn't be surprised if they'd support the bid anyway. Regardless, they're still as hostile as always to Israel's existence.
With overwhelming support from the developing world, the Palestinians appear certain to earn approval in the 193-member UN General Assembly for a status upgrade to "observer state" on Thursday.

Israel and its main ally the United States oppose the move, which would implicitly recognize Palestinian statehood.

"We are assessing the situation and want as much agreement as possible with our European partners... But it is certain that Germany will not vote for such a resolution," spokesman Steffen Seibert told a news conference.
Canada's announced they won't support such a bid either.
France said on Tuesday it would vote in favor of non-member status and Switzerland and Denmark have now followed suit.

"The decision to support the resolution is in accordance with Switzerland's policy to seek a negotiated, just, and durable peace between Israel and an independent and viable Palestinian state within secure and internationally recognized borders," the Swiss Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The Swiss decision followed a visit to Berne by PA President Mahmoud Abbas this month as the country hesitated between voting in favor of the resolution or abstaining.
Any country's government that's going to support a resolution like this cannot possibly be expected to defend even their own countries against Islamofascism and sharia. And "non-member status" is no excuse either. What they're doing is just as disrespectul to their own populations as it is to Israel.

SHOULD CATALONIA AND KURDISTAN JUST ASK THE UN FOR STATEHOOD? SHOULD TEXAS? SHOULD MANHATTAN?

JUST ASKING.

ON ACCOUNT OF THE FACT THAT IT'S ABSURD FOR ARABS LIVING IN DISPUTED TERRITORY TO GO TO A THIRD PARTY TO ASK FOR STATEHOOD.

JUST SAYING.

Why The Protests Against President Morsi and The Torching Of The Muslim Brotherhood Offices Will Not Make a Dent in The Islamization of Egypt

Today, in response to President Morsi's recent Dictatorial power grab, protestors torched the Muslim Brotherhood offices near Tahrir Square:
Muslim Brotherhood Headquarters Torched in Egypt Here’s a picture of the protesters in Tahrir Square from tonight.
Twitchy reported.
Several injured during attacks on Muslim Brotherhood HQ in Mahala and Alexandria, as protests against president’s decree continue.
AJA: Fire erupts in Freedom & Justice Party HQ in Mahallah after attack by armed mobs, extends to several stores & apartments.
One is tempted to believe Democracy may finally break out after this bold, and truly revolutionary move against the forces of Islamic Totalitarianism.

But let's review the reality the evidence with regard to the reality of the Egyptian population, to see if we can discover whether there exists any true will towards Democracy and Human Rights:
Pew Poll Reveals Majority of Muslims Are Anything But "Moderate" 
Poll of Egyptians Shows 84% Want Apostates Stoned to Death 
78% of British Muslims Want Limits On Free Speech When It Comes To Criticizing Religion
Ok, well, I guess not.

And yet, some of the people of Egypt did, indeed, torch those offices. So, how did we get here?

Well, on November 21st, President Obama of the United States of "America" called President Morsi of Egypt, and they spoke on the phone, some say for about 20 minutes. The outline of the content of that conversation are listed on the White House website:
President Obama spoke to President Morsi today. The President thanked President Morsi for his efforts to achieve a sustainable ceasefire and for his personal leadership in negotiating a ceasefire proposal.  President Morsi expressed appreciation for President Obama’s efforts in this regard.  
President Obama and President Morsi agreed on the importance of working toward a more durable solution to the situation in Gaza. 
President Obama reaffirmed the close partnership between the United States and Egypt, and welcomed President Morsi's commitment to regional security.  
Then, the very next day, on November 22nd, President Morsi declared himself the virtual Dictator of Egypt:
Morsi gave the Constituent Assembly a two month deadline to finish drafting a new constitution, ruling that no authority may dissolve it until the country's defining document is completed. 
He further ruled that no authority may dissolve the Shura Council, the upper house of Egypt's parliament. 
In a move likely to bring criticism that the Egyptian president is inappropriately expanding his powers, he also decreed that no laws or declarations passed by the president from the time of his inauguration until a new parliament is elected can be overturned by any authority, including the judiciary. 
He further dismissed the country's prosecutor general Abdel-Meguid Mahmoud, appointing Talaat Ibrahim to replace him for a four-year term.
Hmm. It's almost as if Morsi believed that "a durable solution" on "regional security" could be achieved by the very act of establishing the Muslim Brotherhood as the sole authority in Egyptian government, leading to the eventual enforcement of Sharia as the law of the land.

Whether one believes that Obama is specifically interested in seeing Sharia become the law of the land in Egypt or not, one must concede that it is unlikely that President Morsi would make such a unprecedented power grab, if he did not feel he had the strong backing of his partners to see him through the storm that would surely come.

After all, the people of Egypt were afire just a few months back. Why would they not, once again, take to the streets if they did not believe things were going their way?

The Muslim Brotherhood is nothing if it is not a patient and exacting organization, dedicated to the longterm infiltration, and eventual enforcement, of Sharia law across the face of the Earth.

I think one would have to be a fool to believe Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood would take the action they have taken without seriously gaming the possible consequences.

This means they are, at the very least, willing to wait out the protests.

More likely, I believe they believe they already have the will of the people behind them (see the above links) to see through, to the end, the establishment of a full-fledged Islamic government. 

And, I believe they are willing to do whatever it takes to see that that happens in the next two months. Remember, Morsi gave the Shura Council a two-month deadline.

The next two months are going to be historic, and will likely include violence in the street by Islamic Militias "loosely tied" to the Muslim Brotherhood. These Militias will act as Morality Police, beginning the enforcement of Sharia through intimidation, and outright beat-downs, of protestors.

In three months from now, the Arab Spring will be fully revealed for what it is, and has always been, since it's Muslim Brotherhood/Obama-inspired inception; The Sharia Sewer.

Egypt will look more like Iran than it will resemble anything heretofore known as a Democracy. And Obama will still be proclaiming his victorious policy in helping further the "Arab Spring".

At some point, as we watch these developments unfold, we, as individuals, are going to have to make a decision: Does the existing evidence support the idea that Barack Hussein Obama wants to see Democracy and Freedom established in the Middle East? Or, does the evidence support the idea that Barack Obama wants to see Sharia established as the sole source of government in the Middle East?

What do you think?

To Live (1994) with Gong Li - a great movie

IMDB: 
Fugui and Jiazhen endure tumultuous events in China as their personal fortunes move from wealthy landownership to peasantry. Addicted to gambling, Fugui loses everything. In the years that follow he is pressed into both the nationalist and communist armies, while Jiazhen is forced into menial work. They raise a family and survive, managing "to live" from the 40's to the 70's in this epic, but personal, story of life through an amazing period. 
WIKI: The film was banned in mainland China by the Chinese State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television[3] due to its critical portrayal of various policies and campaigns of the Communist government. Zhang Yimou was also banned from filmmaking for two years.[4] 
To Live was screened at the 1994 New York Film Festival before eventually receiving a limited release in the United States on November 18, 1994.[5] 
Watch the whole thing in 20 parts - (IT JUST MIGHT BE THE BEST ADVICE ON HOW TO HANDLE THE COMING TIMES... SIGH):

ANTI-ISLAM FILMMAKER HAS NO REGRET

Mark Bassely Youssef, the Egyptian Copt who made the "Innocence of Muslims" film is not sorry about putting it together:
The Egyptian-born Coptic Christian who made the anti-Islam film that sparked protests across the Muslim world has no regrets about his insulting portrayal of the Prophet Mohammad, according to an interview with The New York Times.

In his first public comments since the 14-minute trailer for his film, "Innocence of Muslims," gained notoriety in September, Mark Basseley Youssef told the newspaper he wanted to reveal what he called "the actual truth" about Mohammad and raise awareness of the violence committed "under the sign of Allah."

The film portrayed Mohammad as a womanizer, ruthless killer and child molester. The film touched off a torrent of anti-American unrest in Arab and Muslim countries. For many Muslims, any depiction of the prophet is considered blasphemous.
Reuters, who published this article, may want to consider that these horrific acts commited by Mohammed that the film brings up are written about in the Koran, and if they want, they can always get someone to research it to learn about all that.
In explaining his reasons for the film, he cited "atrocities" by Muslims. After a Muslim gunman killed 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas in 2009, "I became even more upset and enraged," he said in written comments conveyed to the Times through his attorney. A Times request to interview him in person was blocked by prison authorities.
I'm amazed. He really cares about the lives of the soldiers and military base staff who were murdered in cold blood by Nidal Hasan. Reuters should be ashamed of themselves for their use of quotations, which runs the gauntlet of being offensive to the victims of jihadism.

Youssef may not be perfect, but his feelings on the Religion of Rape are completely understandable, and good for him if he's not sorry for putting the film together. Besides, as was discovered, the film wasn't even what started the riots.

GOAL 2016: 70 MILLION CONSERVATIVES

  • REAGAN - 1980 -  43,903,230 50.7%
  • REAGAN - 1984 -  54,455,472 58.8%
  • ROMNEY - 2012 - 60,436,607 47.43%
ROMNEY GOT MORE THAN 10% MORE VOTES THAN REAGAN, BUT LOST.

WHY? SIMPLE:

SINCE 1992, MORE LEFTIST VOTERS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT ON-LINE, SO-TO-SPEAK, (BY THE LEFTISTS WHO HAVE A STRANGLEHOLD ON BOTH THE LEGACY MEDIA AND THE ACADEMY), THAN WE CONSERVATIVES HAVE CREATED OR DEPROGRAMMED.

WE NEED TO CREATE MORE CONSERVATIVES IF WERE GONNA OVERCOME THE PERVASIVE PROPAGANDA OF THE LEGACY MEDIA, THE BRAINWASHING OF THE ACADEMY AND NAKED THEFT BY THE CHICAGO MACHINE (VIA BLATANT VOTER FRAUD).

WE NEED TO AWAKEN MORE AMERICANS TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE REALLY CONSERVATIVES AT HEART.

AND WE WON'T DO THIS TRYING TO CONVINCE THEM WE ARE REALLY "JUST MODERATES".

IN PART, WE CAN DO THIS BY ARGUING THAT - SINCE WE ARE CONSTITUTIONALISTS WHO WANT LIMITED GOVERNMENT - WE CANNOT BE AND ARE NOT EXTREMISTS.

AND IN PART BY ARGUING THAT PRIVATE ENTERPRISE IS BOTH A MORE EFFECTIVE WAY TO IMPROVE LIVING STANDARDS AND A MORE MORALLY CORRECT WAY THAN STATE-SPONSORED REDISTRIBUTION SCHEMES.

AND IN PART BY REMINDING PEOPLE THAT THEIR SENSIBLE, BASIC AND DEEP DISTRUST OF POLITICIANS IS A GREAT REASON TO REJECT GOVERNMENT REDISTRIBUTIONIST SCHEMES MOST OF WHICH TURN OUT TO BE NOTHING MORE THAN INEFFECTIVE BOONDOGGLES DESIGNED BY LOBBYISTS AND RUN BY POLITICIANS.

THAT SHOULD NOT BE A HIGH HURDLE.

WE ONLY PARTLY SUCCEEDED IN THIS EFFORT IN 2012:
  • IN 2008, OBAMA GOT 69,498,215.
  • IN 2012, OBAMA GOT 64,790,160 - 5 MILLION FEWER VOTES.
WE NEED TO KNOCK THAT DOWN BY ANOTHER 5 MILLION.

HOW? SIMPLE:

ATTACK THE LEFT'S HOLD ON BLUE COLLAR WORKERS, BLACKS, HISPANICS, AND THE YOUTH VOTE.

RUBIO AND JINDAL CAN ACCOMPLISH A LOT ON TWO OUT OF THESE FOUR ITEMS.


ISLAMIST-RUN UN MAKING ANOTHER POTENTIAL GRAB FOR INTERNET POWER

Claudia Rosett reports on Pajamas Media that the corrupt UN bastion is making another attempt seizing control of the internet, with a conference to be held in Dubai. With a place like that to hold a conference, you can be quite sure that they'll be calling for suppression of free speech on Islam, or anything else positive to this world. Whatever they're planning, we cannot and must not let them go unnoticed while we still have our freedom.

Update: The Wall Street Journal (via Hot Air) explains some more about why this is a terrible thing if it happens:
Having the Internet rewired by bureaucrats would be like handing a Stradivarius to a gorilla. The Internet is made up of 40,000 networks that interconnect among 425,000 global routes, cheaply and efficiently delivering messages and other digital content among more than two billion people around the world, with some 500,000 new users a day. [...]

The self-regulating Internet means no one has to ask for permission to launch a website, and no government can tell network operators how to do their jobs. The arrangement has made the Internet a rare place of permissionless innovation. As former Federal Communications Commission Chairman William Kennard recently pointed out, 90% of cooperative “peering” agreements among networks are “made on a handshake,” adjusting informally as needs change.

Proposals for the new ITU treaty run to more than 200 pages. One idea is to apply the ITU’s long-distance telephone rules to the Internet by creating a “sender-party-pays” rule. International phone calls include a fee from the originating country to the local phone company at the receiving end. Under a sender-pays approach, U.S.-based websites would pay a local network for each visitor from overseas, effectively taxing firms such as Google and Facebook.
Google fortunately understands the problems that could be faced here, and has launched an online campaign to protest. It's astonishing how only so many countries across the world continue to support an entity like the UN that is not dedicated to justice, human rights and peace so much as it is in greed and power grabbing. When will any nation with sense finally wake up and realize that it's time to part ways with the UN for good?

EHUD BARAK RESIGNING FROM POLITICS

Well this must be quite a surprise for some: the most pretentious former military official of modern times has announced his resignation from political life:
Defense Minister Ehud Barak announced his resignation from political life on Monday, saying his final decision was delayed by Operation Pillar of Defense and hinting at the possibility of being appointed to his post again after the January election.

"Fifty-three years ago, I enlisted in the IDF, and since then I have served the country," Barak said at a press conference in the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv.

"Today I announce my decision to leave political life and not run in the next election." Barak will remain Defense Minister until the next government is formed in January, after a total of seven-and-a-half nonconsecutive years in the post under three governments, including one led by Barak as prime minister.

This is the second time Barak is resigning from politics. The first followed his loss of the premiership to Ariel Sharon in 2001. In 2002, Barak went into business, becoming a multi-millionaire, and returned to politics five years later as defense minister under then-prime minister Ehud Olmert.
For many on the right, this'll be quite fine. He caused more than enough problems over the time he became a politician, including negotiations with the PLO, and most recently he did have a hand in causing the Pillar to be called off of a ground raid on Gaza before it could commence. Israel's political system could do well enough without him, and he won't be missed by many on the left either.

FIRST LNG TANKER CROSSES ARCTIC SEA


A large tanker carrying liquified natural gas (LNG) is set to become the first ship of its type to sail across the Arctic. The carrier, Ob River, left Norway in November and has sailed north of Russia on its way to Japan. The specially equipped tanker is due to arrive in early December and will shave 20 days off the regular journey.
THIS IS GOOD NEWS FOR HUMANITY.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE HUMANS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CROSS THE ARCTIC IN SHIPS.

IT WILL SAVE TIME & MONEY - WHICH LEADS TO LOWER ENERGY  COSTS AND FOOD COSTS - WHICH HELPS THE POOR THE MOST.

DESPITE THE LEFTIST ANTI-INDUSTRIAL ANTI-WEST BULLCRAP, CLIMATE CHANGE IS NATURAL - AND WARMING IS GOOD FOR HUMANITY.

SO, WHAT'S THE NEW POPULAR NAME FOR BABIES BORN IN GAZA AFTER THE RECENT WAR?


Some parents in Gaza are naming their newborn babies Fajr, the name of an Iranian missile that was fired at Israel by Hamas, officials said.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HOW THEIRS IS A CULTURE THAT RELSIHES DEATH, MISOGYNY, AND IGNORANCE.

GERRY CONWAY TAKES THE SIDE OF THE VILLAINS

If, like me, you read comic books years ago, you may be familiar with Gerry Conway, who wrote a bundle of leading series for Marvel, DC and a few other companies between 1968-93, and went on to work in TV writing/producing.

But this week, I made the devastating revelation that he's part of the worst of the leftist crowd you can find in Hollywood when I took a look at his Twitter account, and found him attacking Benjamin Netanyahu for all the wrong reasons:

So he buys into what the MSM tells him hook line and sinker, despite Melanie Phillips and Elder of Zion's research that shows the tolls aren't what he thinks and that a lot of the casualties in Gaza were caused by the jihadists themselves? And does he also buy into the lie of a palestinian Islamic/Arab people?

I read plenty of Conway's comic book work years ago, and one of the first comics I read in my childhood was written by him (an issue of the Fantastic Four). I've got plenty of his work in my collection, some available in paperbacks, others not. I thought he had plenty of merits back in the day too. And he returns the favor by siding with Israel's enemies and parroting the leftarded mantra that "Bibi" is a warmonger? It's truly devastating. He even says:

What about Ismail Haniyeh, Mahmoud Abbas, and even Mohammed Morsi? And what about the willingness of people like you to turn a blind eye at the Koran's contents? Conway also says:

So I guess yours truly who enjoyed his work of yore is just a Zionist piece of crap who should be smashed into the dust? And is Will Eisner, who more or less slammed Islamofascism and its use of even non-Islamic works of anti-semitism to fuel the jihadist fires in his last graphic novel, also someone whom he scorns? How is it that a guy who was given a great job by Jewish editors and publishers returns the favor by attacking their bloodbrothers back in Zion by siding with blood libels? It makes no difference what the political positions of the Jewish Marvel/DC staff were like years before; what Conway's doing is an alarming show of disrespect for the comics medium's Jewish founders. Come to think of it, he's also disrespected ex-Muslims and even Armenians. How the mighty have fallen. Years before, he wrote a story in Justice League of America #188 where the Atom celebrated Hanukah with some of his colleagues. This is a basic betrayal of that neat tale. But I guess this can only be expected of someone whose later body of work was as producer of Law & Order, mainly the spinoff called Criminal Intent. There were moments in the franchise when it featured stories fairly hostile to Jews, including this one.

I suppose the best way to sum this up is that I don't regret reading his older work from his younger years as a comics writer. But that doesn't mean I can excuse this modern mindset he now goes by. And his work as a TV writer/producer, that I understand, and L&O is something I'd rather avoid like the plague. In the end, thanks very much Mr. Conway, for telling someone who thought you did have talent as a comics writer that you're siding with the enemies of his country, the Islamofascists. Creatures who, you can be quite sure, are as hostile and hateful of the Jewish publishers you worked for as they are against any Jewish resident of Israel. And thanks for implying you see nothing wrong with Koranic verses like Sura 2:223 either. Conway is clearly the kind of man who really lost direction when he turned more to screenwriting than comic books, even though comics writers aren't saints either. If I were Jerry Siegel or Joe Shuster and I saw how low he'd stooped, I'd be feeling absolutely awful.
