ANOTHER RESCUE OF A JEWESS FROM THE CLUTCHES OF ISLAM

Yad l'Achim has successfully accomplished another rescue effort of a Jewish woman who stupidly married an Arab Muslim:
Yad L’Achim has pulled it off again. The anti-missionary and anti-assimilation organization was able, within hours of receiving word of a Jewess trapped in an Arab village with her four children, to rescue the five and find them a safe haven outside Israel.

The story began just a week ago, when a tearful man arrived in Yad L’Achim offices in Bnei Brak on Tuesday evening and asked to speak directly with the director, Rabbi Shalom Dov Lifshitz. He explained that his sister had married an Arab several years ago, but was now trapped in his village somewhere in Palestinian Authority-controlled area, prevented even from leaving her house.

Yad L’Achim has faced this situation many times in the past, and a task force was quickly set up to collect the necessary information and determine a plan of action. The one opening seemed to be that the next day, Wednesday, she had been granted special permission by her Arab husband/master to leave for a one-time, important purchase – but only with three of her children; one of them was to be left behind in the care of a local Arab woman, to ensure that she would return.

The only thing that Yad L’Achim is willing to say about the rescue effort is that “miraculously, the woman and all four of her children were rescued.” How this occurred is not being publicized, for fear of jeopardizing future rescues of this nature. “All I can say,” said Rabbi Lifshitz, “is that there were miracles of people seeing and not seeing, and things were done that should normally have aroused attention, and with G-d’s kindness, everything transpired successfully.”

The woman and her children were taken to the nearest checkpoint, and with the help and cooperation of “local elements,” they were brought into area under Israeli jurisdiction, and from there, to a secret apartment.
Now do you know where they're going to live, following their rescue? In South America, because the "father/husband" is likely to go hunting and stalking around to try and snatch them again. A shame if it has to be that far away, but I suppose it's for the best.

ARAB INVADES TURKISH EMBASSY IN ISRAEL SEEKING ASYLUM

Tayyip Erdogan has a supporter in Israel who wanted asylum, but was luckily captured and didn't get it:
TEL AVIV, Israel – A Palestinian who broke into the Turkish Embassy in Israel trying to take hostages and demanding asylum was turned over to Israeli authorities late Tuesday, ending a tense standoff.

Seven hours after he forced his way into the embassy, the attacker was escorted out of the embassy and bundled into an Israeli ambulance. Wearing a light blue shirt and limping slightly from an apparent gunshot wound, he raised his arms briefly and shouted before Israeli police and paramedics subdued him.

An hour earlier, the Turkish government said it had the situation in hand.

"Our embassy guards neutralized the individual as he tried to take the vice consul as hostage after shouting around for asylum," the Turkish statement said, adding he was armed with a knife, a gasoline can and a gun that turned out to be a toy.

Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor identified the attacker as Nadim Injaz, a Palestinian from the West Bank town of Ramallah. Israeli police said Injaz was recently released from prison after serving time for an attack on the British Embassy four years ago, also to seek asylum.

Channel 2 TV played a recording of a phone call it said came from the attacker.

"I have two hostages," he said in Hebrew. "I will blow up the embassy. ... If they don't let me leave this country now I will burn down the whole building. I will burn everything. I will burn the cars, the doors I will break down the doors. I will break everything."

A lawyer who said he spoke to Injaz by phone told Israel Radio that the hostages, the consul and his wife, had escaped.

Injaz said he admired Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

"I love him and I respect him," he said. The Turkish leader "should give me political asylum against these murderers the Zionists, the murdering Jews," he added, linking the incident indirectly to recent tensions between Israel and Turkey.

He also condemned Palestinian leaders, saying President Mahmoud Abbas "should die" for stealing funds.
Let's see, he hates Israel, doesn't like Abbas either, but still supports Turkey, as if they wouldn't suppress him as well. Must be the bizzarrity of Islam sinking in for this dumb man.

But even if he hadn't approached the embassy so violently, would they have granted asylum? Probably not, because truly, do they care about the "palestinians"? Not really.

PARTIAL LIFTING OF APARTHEID AGAINST PALESTINIANS - LIVING IN CAMPS IN LEBANON!

BBC:

Lebanon's parliament has, after long delay, passed a law which allows Palestinian refugees to work legally.

There are an estimated 400,000 Palestinians living in Lebanon and, given its delicate sectarian balance, their status is a sensitive issue.

Many are still living in camps where conditions are dire.

... the advances remain well short of the rights enjoyed by Palestinian refugees in Syria, Jordan and elsewhere in the region.

Palestinians in Lebanon will still be unable to work in the public sector or in professions such as medicine, law or engineering, where membership of Lebanese syndicates is compulsory.

They will also continue to be denied access to Lebanese state medical or educational facilities.

Those services are provided to the refugees by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (Unrwa), which is currently suffering from a severe financing deficit.

... Some of the youngsters who throng the camps are fourth-generation offspring whose great-grandparents fled what is now northern Israel in 1948.

THESE 60 YEAR OLD CAMPS ARE WORSE THAN ANYTHING IN GAZA OR THE WEST BANK.

THESE ARABS WERE TREATED WORSE BY THEIR FELLOW ARABS THAN BY ISRAEL.

THEY WERE CAPTIVES AND PAWNS OF THE JIHADISTS AND THE LEFT.

THAT'S WHY YOU NEVER HEARD THE ARABS OR THE LEFT COMPLAIN ABOUT THEM.

THEY NEVER CALLED IT "APARTHEID" OR DEMANDED DIVESTITURE OF LEBANESE HOLDINGS OR BOYCOTTS OF LEBANESE PRODUCTS.

THEY ONLY COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW ISRAEL TREAT ARABS.

WHY?

SIMPLE: IT'S ARAB ANTISEMITISM, AND THE HOME AWAY FROM HOME FOR ANTISEMITISM IS THE LEFT.

THE UN AND THE SO-CALLED "INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY" WHICH HAS NON-STOP HARASSED ISRAEL FOR 760 YEARS IS NOTHING MORE THAN A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITICAL POSTMODERN ANTI-AMERICAN ANTISEMITIC LEFTISTS.

THE FACT THAT THEY IGNORED THE CAMPS IN JERUSALEM - NAY RAN THEM - IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THESE AMORAL SC*MB*GS.

GOVERNMENT MOTORS RECALLS 243,000 VEHICLES

IT'S OKAY THAT HE'S PLAYING HIS UNGTEENTH ROUND SINCE THE INAUGURAL: OBAMA TO GOLF ON ORGANIC COURSE DURING HIS 6TH VACATION

NYTIMES:

Opened eight years ago, the club is thought to be the only completely organic golf course in the United States, its 18 holes groomed without the use of a single synthetic pesticide, fertilizer, herbicide or other artificial chemical treatment.

“When we started here, some of my peers thought this golf course would be a dust bowl,” Carlson said, walking across a lush, smooth green toward a rolling, verdant fairway. “I admit I wasn’t so sure it could be done myself. People said we were crazy.”

The club has a more prominent endorsement now. The nation’s first golfer, President Obama, is expected to play here while vacationing this month, after playing the course twice last year.


OKAY THEN IT'S OKAY FOR OBAMA TO BE ON HIS 6TH VACATION THIS SUMMER WHILE THE ECONOMY TANKS CUZ THE GOLF COURSE IS ORGANIC.

SHEESH.

THE DINOMEDIA CAN'T BE ANY MORE IN THE BAG THEN THIS.

WE WILL SET THEM ALL STRAIGHT THIS NOVEMBER.

FIRST CONFIRMED STONING IN AFGHANISTAN SINCE 2001

AP: Taliban stone couple for adultery
When extremists ruled Afghanistan, public killings were common.
Taliban militants [MISLEADING REDUNDANCY!] in northern Afghanistan stoned a young couple to death for adultery, which a rights group said was the first confirmed use of the punishment here since the hardline Islamist regime was ousted in 2001.

The Taliban-ordered killing comes at a time when international rights groups have raised worries that attempts to negotiate with the Taliban to bring peace to Afghanistan could mean a step backward for human rights in the country. When the Islamist extremists ruled Afghanistan, women were not allowed to leave their houses without a male guardian, and public killings for violations of their harsh interpretation of the Koran were common.

This weekend's stoning appeared to arise from an affair between a married man and a single woman in Kunduz province's Dasht-e-Archi district.

The woman, Sadiqa, was 20 years old and engaged to another man, said the Kunduz provincial police chief, Gen. Abdul Raza Yaqoubi. Her lover, 28-year-old Qayum, left his wife to run away with her, and the two had holed up in a friend's house five days ago, said district government head, Mohammad Ayub Aqyar.

They were discovered by Taliban operatives on Sunday and stoned to death in front a crowd of about 150 men, Aqyar said.

First the woman was brought out and stoned, then the man a half an hour later, Aqyar said. He decried the punishment, which he said was ordered by two local Taliban commanders.

A spokesman for the provincial government also condemned the act.

"It is against all human rights and international conventions," said spokesman Mabubullah Sayedi. "There was no court. It was cruel."

Amnesty International said it was the first confirmed stoning in Afghanistan since the fall of Taliban rule in the 2001 US-led invasion.
BBC:

A man and a woman who allegedly had an adulterous affair have been stoned and killed in the northern Afghan province of Kunduz.

The punishment happened in a crowded bazaar on Sunday in the Taliban-controlled village of Mullah Quli.

The Taliban have not commented on the public killing, but it was confirmed by local officials and witnesses.

This month the Taliban also reportedly flogged and killed a pregnant widow in western Baghdis province.

A spokesman for Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Waheed Omar, said if the incident was confirmed it would be condemned in the strongest terms by the government.

"Even in Islam this [stoning] has to be done through proper judicial systems," he said.

THERE ARE LIBERALS IN THIS COUNTRY WHO STILL THINK WE SHOULD NEGOTIATE WITH THE TALIBAN.

AND THAT ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE.

BOTH POSITIONS ARE WRONG - AND MAKE US LESS SAFE.

A CASE OF FAKE TOMBSTONES FOR SAKE OF LAND GRAB

Israel National News recently reported that there had been another form of land grab tactic attempted by Muslims in Jerusalem:
The Jerusalem Municipality has thus far removed 300 false tombstones that were built in the course of the past few weeks at the Mamilla Muslim cemetery in central Jerusalem. The tombs were built by Muslim elements who took advantage of the fact that the Jerusalem Municipality's Health Department granted them a permit to clean up and fix existing tombstones. Instead of just cleaning graves, however, the Muslims hired workers to try and grab land from the adjoining Independence Park (Gan HaAtzmaut).

After the land-grab hoax was discovered by Arutz Sheva, the Jerusalem Municipality filed a complaint with the police and immediately put a stop to all work at the site. On Monday this week, a court rejected the Muslims' request for a temporary order against the Municipality and granted the Municipality permission to remove the fictitious new tombstones.

Each new tombstone is dismantled only after an expert from the Antiquities Authority inspects it and confirms that it is indeed a new tombstone.

The new tombstones had no graves or human remains beneath them. Plastic bottles, cigarette packs and irrigation pipes were found beneath some of them. Others were built atop a sewage pipe.
Simply disgraceful, and we can only expect more of this for some time to come.

COLOMBIA IS A BETTER PLACE TO INVEST THAN OBAMA'S USA

NYTIMES: Mining and Oil Boom Propel Investment in Colombia
Security gains and capitalist-friendly investment rules are spurring an unprecedented mining and oil boom in Colombia, a pro-business outpost on an increasingly leftist continent.

Investors are deeming Colombia well worth the risk though many parts of the country where reserves are being exploited continue to be plagued by illegal armed groups. Even a car-bombing Thursday in the country's capital just a week into the new administration ''won't be a problem for foreign investment,'' analyst Roberto Melzi of Barclays Capital said.

South America's third-largest oil producer behind Brazil and Venezuela, Colombia is on track to generate more than 1 million barrels of crude a day by 2012 -- double its production in 2006 -- the government says. State-owned Ecopetrol accounts for nearly 90 percent of today's production.

A full 80 percent of the $7.2 billion in direct foreign investment the country reaped last year went to petroleum and mining -- with investment in the latter sector nearly doubling to $3.1 billion.

''Companies are looking for the next big thing -- an unexplored market -- and Colombia has been popping up on the radar,'' said analyst Patrick Esteruelas of Eurasia Group.

By contrast, neighboring Ecuador, the continent's No. 5 oil producer behind Argentina, got a total of $312 million in foreign investment in 2009.

Colombia is so bullish on the foreign investment bonanza flourishing under new President Juan Manuel Santos, a former foreign trade, defense and finance minister, that the government is forecasting a healthy jump in gross domestic product this year -- 4.5 percent.

Colombia's foreign trade ministry says it expects Colombia to attract $10 billion in foreign investment this year, approaching the record $10.6 billion of 2008. The influx has so flooded Colombia with dollars that the U.S. currency has lost 12 percent of its value this year against the Colombia peso.

While Venezuela and Ecuador have alienated many energy investors by rewriting oil contracts -- increasing royalties and taxes so much that many multinationals pulled out -- Colombia's outgoing president, Alvaro Uribe, offered strong incentives.

''Colombia is one of the few countries in Latin America essentially that offers ironclad contractual guarantees over periods of 20 years,'' Esteruelas said.

WE NEED TO HAVE INVESTMENT AND ENERGY INCENTIVES, RULES, REGS AND TAXES MORE LIKE COLOMBIA'S AND LESS LIKE VENEZUELA'S.

OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES WOULD HAVE US BECOME MORE LIKE VENEZUELA.

WE CAN STOP THEM AND REVERSE OBAMA'S LURCH LEFT THIS NOVEMBER: VOTE GOP!

PROOF THAT DENIAL OF BUILDING PERMITS FOR RELIGOUS BUILDINGS IS NOT ABOUT DENYING "RELIGIOUS FREEDOM"

WZ: Obama: No, Wait a Minute. I do Endorse THAT Ground Zero Mosque.

The Great Orator’s oratory is now spinning around like the handle on a shi&house door on this one:

“Just to be clear,”:

At the iftar dinner, Obama cast his vote with the mosque builders. And then he pulled back.

And then he had his spokesman pull back the pullback.

“Just to be clear, the president is not backing off in any way from the comments he made last night,” the White House’s Bill Burton said Saturday.

“It is not his role as president to pass judgment on every local project. But it is his responsibility to stand up for the Constitutional principle of religious freedom and equal treatment for all Americans.

What he said last night, and reaffirmed today, is that if a church, a synagogue or a Hindu temple can be built on a site, you simply cannot deny that right to those who want to build a mosque.”

ARGUING THE MOSQUE MUST BE BUILT BECAUSE DENYING IT IS AN ATTACK ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM - AS OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES ARE ARGUING - IS TFBS.

PROOF:
NONE OF THESE CASES DENIED ANYONE'S FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS; THEY WERE ABOUT ZONING ISSUES.

HOFT: THE GOP GETS IT:
Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) told FOX News Sunday this morning that the victory mosque will be a campaign issue this fall. Barack Obama supports a mosque at Ground Zero along with only 20% of voters.
The Hill reported:

The chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee believes the mosque set to be built near ground zero in New York City will be a campaign issue this fall.

“It demonstrates that Washington, the White House, the administration, the president himself, seems to be disconnected from the mainstream of America,” John Cornyn (Texas), said on Fox News Sunday. “I think that’s one of the reasons why people are so frustrated.”

President Obama on Friday spoke out in favor of the group’s right to build blocks from where the World Trade Center stood. He and the White House later clarified his remarks to indicate that he did not offer support for the “wisdom” behind their decision.

“This is not about freedom of religion,” Cornyn said. “I do think it’s unwise to build a mosque in the site where 3,000 Americans lost their lives as the result of a terrorist attack.”

Voters “sense that they’re being lectured to, not listened to” by Democrats, he said. “The American people will render their verdict.”

WRAPPING UP THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE IN THE CLOAK OF THE 1ST AMENDMENT IS SUBTERFUGE.

DECEITFUL, DHIMMI-ESQUE BS.

TFBS.

THE PEOPLE WILL NOT BE DUPED.

OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES WILL GET THE MESSAGE THIS NOVEMBER!

IDENTITY AND PRIVACY OF PATIENTS BREACHED

According to boston.com:
Four Massachusetts community hospitals are investigating how thousands of patient health records, some containing Social Security numbers and sensitive medical diagnoses, ended up in a pile at a public dump.

The unshredded records included pathology reports with patients’ names, addresses, and results of breast, bone, and skin cancer tests, as well as the results of lab work following miscarriages.

By law, medical records and documents containing personal identifying information must be disposed of in a way that protects privacy, and leaving them at a dump is probably illegal, privacy lawyers and hospital officials said. Violators face steep fines....
Just imagine what a mess ObamaKare, modeled on MassachusettsKare, will be when the government bureaucracy is involved. We all know how careless a bureaucratic machine is, particularly with centralized record keeping.

What happened in Massachusetts is a preview of ObamaKare.
