The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry?
All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it:
surely the people is grass.
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

Half the Public Wants to See Holy Temple Rebuilt by Hillel Fendel
Half the Israeli public wants the Holy Temple (Beit HaMikdash) to be rebuilt. This is the main finding of a poll commissioned by the Knesset Television Channel and carried out by the Panels Institute.
The poll was taken in advance of this Tuesday’s national day of mourning, known as Tisha B’Av, on which the two Holy Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed, 2,000 and 2,500 years ago, respectively.
Forty nine percent said they want the rebuilding of the Holy Temple, while 23% said they do not. The remainder said they were unsure.

Billion-Dollar Space Image Is Open to Interpretation
After a year of image capturing, many years of planning, and a billion dollars of research spending, the European Space Agency's Planck satellite telescope has produced the first ever image of the entire sky.
And with the July 2010 release of this image came grand claims of its significance--most of which are not based on the evidence, but on what the claims assume to be true.

About That Racist Tea Party Movement Daniel Greenfield Excellent! Read it all!
"I think one man is just as good as another so long as he's honest and decent and not a nigger or a Chinaman." Harry Truman
"I'll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years." Lyndon B. Johnson
"I see nothing wrong with ethnic purity being maintained." Jimmy Carter
Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds." Senator Robert Byrd
“They mention that he once had a fleeting association with the Ku Klux Klan, and what does that mean? I’ll tell you what it means. He was a country boy from the hills and hollows of West Virginia. He was trying to get elected." Bill Clinton defending Byrd's KKK membership
The party of segregation is outraged by Tea Party racism. The party whose Presidential icons refused loans to black families moving into white neighborhoods, bugged Martin Luther King, denounced civil rights and refused to desegregate the armed forces are all worked up about racism. That imaginary racism that only they can hear when their opponents talk. There is a psychological term called "Projection" in which a Democrat attributes his own subconscious racism to Republicans. That's of course assuming that it even is subconscious, rather than completely conscious.
Every successful Democratic President pandered to racists. Woodrow Wilson praised Birth of a Nation. FDR appointed Klansmen to high positions in his administration. JFK opposed civil rights when it was convenient, and supported them when it was convenient. Jimmy Carter ran a racist campaign for Governor of Georgia. Obama switched around the colors, by pandering to black racists, in a church as filled with hate as can be imagined.
It's an old game that has never really changed. George Wallace made himself the face of segregation when it was politically convenient, and then became the face of affirmative action and civil rights, when that was politically convenient. Democrats have kept the image of the old segregationist George Wallace around, forgetting that he was himself a Democrat, and just as hypocritical as they are themselves. And plenty of their politicians, such as Jimmy Carter, Robert Byrd and Fritz Hollings made the same transformation. Bill Clinton's cynical defense of Byrd is an open admission of what everyone in politics has known all along, that Democrats have no problem with using racism in order to get elected. Democrats have played both sides when convenient, and when playing the other side, accusations of racism, are a weapon that comes with the territory....
Since then Al Sharpton has been a regular visitor to the Obama White House. Obama even sent Joe Biden to Sharpton's National Action Network convention. And in addition to that charmer, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Obama's Religious Leadership Council was packed full of ministers associated with Sharpton, and Farrakhan. Of course the media would rather be reporting on imaginary racial slurs, than the fact that a man who was responsible for the persecution and murder of members of minority groups, is a White House regular.....
... The Democrats have given up trying to win the debate over government, if they were ever even interested in conducting the debate. What they want to do is demonize anyone who criticize them, in order to silence them and dissuade anyone from agreeing with them. Playing the race card is just one more cynical way to exploit an evil that they created, and that if they had gotten their way would be just as bad today, as it was before Abraham Lincoln. And all this would not be nearly so obscene if the party did not insist on providing safe haven to bigots today. The Party of Corruption is terrified of losing control of government, because they are organized around one principle, redistributing wealth to their supporters. They are the tea merchants, and what tea merchants fear most is a tea party.
NOTE: As a Tea Partier, I have seen NO RACISM there!!!
Congressman: Obama Admin Illegally Funding Pro-Abortion Kenya Constitution by Steven Ertelt
Despite denials by the office of Vice President Joe Biden and the U.S. embassy in Kenya, the leading pro-life congressman says the Obama administration is absolutely engaging in illegal funding of a campaign to get voters in Kenya to adopt a pro-abortion constitution.
As LifeNews.com reported on Monday, the United States embassy in Kenya issued a statement saying the administration of President Barack Obama is not spending taxpayer dollars funding a campaign to support a pro-abortion Constitution Kenya voters will consider at the polls next month.
But Rep. Chris Smith, one of three U.S. lawmakers who have requested an investigation into U.S. activities leading up to the referendum, tells LifeNews.com today he has evidence the Obama administration is funding the Yes campaign.
Smith says Obama is doing so by providing taxpayer dollars for the Yes campaign via organizations that are actively supporting it on the ground in Kenya.
Who's Behind the 9-11 Mosque?
Today, pollster Scott Rasmussen reports that Americans are angry because elected officials ignore their strongly held feelings: On the Federal level this has included issues ranging from Obamacare to the mistreatment of Israel. The Obama Administration and most congressional Democrats rammed through legislation that is diametrically opposed by a majority of Americans.
A similar drama is playing itself out in New York. Mayor Bloomberg, Attorney General Cuomo, members of the City Council have all come out in support of a massive mosque complex within the shadow of Ground Zero. Polls show that a majority of New Yorkers oppose this project even before they know all the facts about the nefarious dealings of the Mosque's sponsors.
There are many legitimate reasons why this mosque and cultural center should not be built on this site or anywhere in the vicinity of Ground Zero. The slaughter perpetrated by Muslims on 9-11 is the primary reason why it is a bad idea to build an Islamic shrine (as its sponsors say) to the victims of this horrendous attacks. The same rule should go into effect if the Japanese wanted to build a Shinto shrine in Pearl Harbor. This does not mean that we feel that all Japanese are responsible for the attack on Pearl Harbor. But it would be in bad taste, a slap in the face of the victims, and it should be noted that the Japanese never thought of doing such a shameless act.
But unlike the Japanese, these Muslims, including representatives of the radical regime in Iran have been trying to build a mosque near Ground Zero since 2003. Their stated reasons of expressions of goodwill are bogus.
The Source of Obama’s Anti-Israel Views E. W. Jackson, Sodahead
Why Obama is Opposed to Israel – A BLACK AMERICAN CLERGYMAN POINTS TO THE SOURCE OF THE PRESIDENT’S ANTI-ISRAELISM
Like Barack Hussein Obama II, I am a graduate of Harvard Law School. I too have Muslims in my family. I am black, and I was once a leftist Democrat. Since our backgrounds are somewhat similar, I perceive something in Obama’s policy toward Israel which people without that background may not see. All my life I have witnessed a strain of anti-Semitism in the black community. It has been fueled by the rise of the Nation of Islam and Louis Farrakhan, but it predates that organization.
We heard it in Jesse Jackson’s “HYMIE town” remark years ago during his presidential campaign. We heard it most recently in Jeremiah Wright’s remark about “them Jews” not allowing Obama to speak with him. I hear it from my own Muslim family members who see the problem in the Middle East as a “Jew” problem.
Growing up in a small, predominantly black urban community in Pennsylvania , I heard the comments about Jewish shop owners. They were “greedy cheaters” who could not be trusted, according to my family and others in the neighborhood. I was too young to understand what it means to be Jewish, or know that I was hearing anti-Semitism. These people seemed nice enough to me, but others said they were “evil”. Sadly, this bigotry has yet to be eradicated from the black community. .....
I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle. -- Winston Churchill

Nigeria: Muslims with machetes kill priest's family and set fire to his church
According to Reuters, the murderers were "machete attackers," "raiders," and "unknown assailants," but then the rest of the story is about "religious violence" in Nigeria, making it likely to the point of certainty that Nuhu Dawat's family was murdered by Islamic jihadists. But for Reuters, as for the rest of the mainstream media, Muslims are only identified as such when they are the victims, not when they're the attackers.
U.K.: Immigration minister nixes burqa ban as "un-British"
Going against the will of 2/3 of British people. Are 2/3 of Britons un-British, then?
Green also says that such a ban would run contrary to the conventions of "tolerant and mutually respectful society." Clearly, he knows nothing of Islamic law and its knack for doing just that. And for that matter, how does concealing one's face in public foster a mutually respectful society? It is a mark of separation and distrust, and of non-engagement with "the other," to borrow a well-worn multiculturalist term.
But, of course, one must remember that multicultural "tolerance" is a one-way street on which Western values must yield the right-of-way to galloping Sharia.

Grand Opening of the Gaza Mall
On Saturday night, the starving people of Gaza opened up a luxury mall.
At opening ceremonies attended by ministers and government officials, the Gaza Mall is a multi-story shopping center that includes food, clothing, perfumes, shoes, household appliances, office supplies and more.
The mall has a website, where we can see that it has air conditioning and parking, as well as delivery and other amenities that one would expect in any major mall.
The mall web page advertises "Israeli men's trousers at an attractive price," men's shirts from the US, girl's dresses from France and boy's pants from Turkey.
THE ROAD TO UTOPIA: THE ORIGINS OF ANTI-ZIONISM ON THE BRITISH LEFT By Colin Shindler *
The British Left in the twenty-first century has exhibited high levels of ideological antagonism toward Israel per se. The easy-to-hand explanation is that this is a manifestation of "the new antisemitism." While there is undoubtedly commentary that many would interpret as repeating anti-Jewish stereotypes of the past, this does not explain how the British Left has moved from embracing Israel in 1948 to its present position. It is argued here that this transition began to take place before the settlement drive on the West Bank and Gaza during Britain's period of decolonization, but the seeds of such an approach were planted by Lenin well over a century ago.
THE OLD LEFT AND THE NEW LEFT
Since the end of the peace process in the 1990s and the beginning of the al-Aqsa Intifada, an important feature in the debate on the Israel-Palestine imbroglio has been a questioning of the legitimacy of Israel as a nation-state by sections of the political Left and the liberal and cultural intelligentsia in Britain.
PARAMETERS FOR M.E. PEACE TED BELMAN
Yesterday, Abbas reformulated his terms for entering direct negotiations, namely Israel must agree to the idea of a third party guarding the borders of a future Palestinian state before direct peace talks can start and Israel must also agree in principle to a fair land swap that would compensate the Palestinians for West Bank land absorbed by Jewish settlements in any peace deal.
He can say what he want, but what are the parameters based on past agreements?
While many people argue that we know what the ultimate deal will look like, namely the creation of an independent, viable, contiguous, Palestinian state with the ’67 borders with minor swaps, a divided Jerusalem and a just solution to the refugee problem. The truth is quite the opposite.
Palestinian child: Fatah conference taught youth to be future "combatants" against Israel by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook

Buffalo: Moderate Muslim who beheaded wife says he's the real victim
This would be laughable if it didn't involve a woman without a head. In any case, it is a classic example of the essentially universal tendency on the part of Islamic supemacists and jihadists to blame everyone but themselves for what they have done. In a larger sense, this is exactly like the jihadis blaming American foreign policy for the global jihad, and is related to the campaign to get the West to "stop linking Islam with terrorism": Islamic jihadists link Islam with terrorism with consistency and religious fervor, but if a Western non-Muslim notices this, he is "hateful," "bigoted," "Islamophobic," "ignorant of Islam," etc. Never would the Muslims who accuse non-Muslims of "hate" for "linking Islam with terrorism" ever look to themselves, see the responsibility for the link as being within the Muslim community rather than outside it, and challenge those jihadists instead.
Call for schools to teach a positive view of Islam while branding Australia racist
Imagine the howls of outrage from the secular non-believers if the Catholic Church argued that every school subject had to include a Catholic perspective and that understanding Christianity is a vital part of our state education system.
Imagine the outcry if the Church, along with a respected national curriculum body and a prestigious university, published curriculum material and held teacher workshops celebrating Christianity’s contribution to Australian society and Western civilisation.
Given that Australia’s schools, on the whole, are secular in nature and the argument that classrooms should not be used to teach a particular faith, it’s understandable why introducing religion into school subjects, for many, would be unacceptable.
Not so, when it comes to teaching Islam and introducing Muslim perspectives to the curriculum. Those responsible for the booklet Learning From One Another: Bringing Muslim Perspectives into Australian Schools, sponsored by the Australian Curriculum Studies Association and The University of Melbourne’s Centre for Excellence in Islamic Studies are happy to assert that teaching Islam should be embedded in every school subject.

'Thought police' slam media with fine totaling $125,000 By Bob Unruh
Offending ad sang praises of traditional family structure
A Christian-inspired media group is being targeted with a fine of about $125,000 for its broadcast of television ads that promote the traditional family by using video footage of homosexual "pride" events and asking "Proud … of what?"
According to a detailed documentation of the case by the European Center for Law and Justice, an affiliate of the U.S.-based American Center for Law and Justice, the fine targets the multimedia communication group Intereconomia, which among other things owns ALBA – a Christian-inspired weekly publication in Spain.

JD Hayworth trounces John McCain in first of two Senate primary debates By Rachel Alexander
JD Hayworth: "It's really sad to see John McCain, who should be revered as a statesman, basically reduced to a political shape-shifter. John, you've changed positions so much in this campaign maybe we'll have to set up an extra podium for you depending on which John McCain is going to answer which question."
It was apparent last night why McCain has only agreed to participate in two Senate debates with JD Hayworth, because of the awkwardness attempting to explain his flip-flopping back to the right now that it is an election year. Both debates between the two candidates are taking place well into the primary, after McCain has had months to spend $6 million in smear attack ads against JD. $5 million of that was leftover from prior campaigning, including $1.1 million from convicted Ponzi scheme criminal Scott Rothstein – the top contributor to two of his 2008 presidential campaign funds. Unlike other politicians who received money from Rothstein, McCain refuses to return the money to the victims, and is instead using it for more attack ads on JD.
I don't understand how McCain can face himself in a mirror!!!!

Obama is trying to surround us with Islam By Dr. Laurie Roth *****
We already know that we aren’t fighting a war with Islamic radicals or terrorists anymore. We are fighting an overseas contingency operation. Just recently our Commander in Chief Barack Hussein Obama, has removed the terms ‘Islamic extremism’ from the main document which describes our national security strategy. Islamic extremism, radicalism, fundamentalism is not to be used with military operations and focus anymore. After all, that would be a kind of religious racism wouldn’t it? Obama is aggressively shifting and redirecting how we interact with Islam and Islamic nations. We have seen Obama scrub honest and real national security and war terms from the book. He is openly at odds with his new commander in Afghanistan, General Petraeus, who has coined the Petraeus doctrine, which defines the enemy as Islamic insurgents, Islamic extremists, and Islamic subversives. He talks of endless connection and support between Muslim support groups and Islamic terrorists. The obvious rolls on by Obama as usual.
Obama has never been happy with the obvious, that we are at war with Islamic radicals throughout the world. So, beyond changing the names and making everyone in the military, media and country pretend we aren’t fighting Islam in anyway, he has done other notable changes. He has appointed ‘devout Muslims’ to critical Homeland Security positions. Among this growing list include: Kareen Shora, ADC National Executive Director as a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council and Arif Alikhan, Assistant Secretary for Policy Development.
Maybe if Obama can change all the honest names of who we are fighting with and appoint ‘devout Muslims’ into critical posts of power for national security he can put Islam and its power where he wants it over the American people. After all, it is a Religion of peace. Don’t the American people realize that yet?
Obama has to do more to manipulate Islam to power and control. How about turning our historical and leading space program NASA into an Islamic apologist, with the main goal of honoring the scientific achievements and space interests of Islam? Oh yeah, he already did that.
Along with all the name changes and appointments, we see media intimidation, compromise and controls regarding Obama, his roots and agenda. Doug Hagmann, director of the Northeast Intelligence Network and Judi McLeod, editor of Canada free press, investigated for over a year intimidation and threats into silence of some anchors and any staff that would have dared cover Obama’s eligibility story. At least one, major national host was scared into silence and contacted Hagmann.
Will They or Won't They? By Bert Gall
According to this recent report from The Hill, after Senator Scott Brown’s (R-MA) decision to oppose the DISCLOSE Act, the bill’s fate now rests in the hands of the following senators: Olympia Snowe (R-ME), Susan Collins (R-ME), Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) and Ben Nelson (D-NE):
Democrats had hoped Brown would provide key support to move forward with the Disclose Act, which has been criticized by many Republicans and free-market groups as infringing on free speech. With Democrats in control of only 59 Senate seats, they need at least one Republican to reach the 60 votes necessary to overcome a filibuster and move forward with the bill.
Why Georgia’s 12th CD Should be on Everyone’s Mind by Anita MonCrief

Half Slave Half Free Art Robinson, Candidate for Congress Oregon District 4
“Our country is on the wrong road. The U.S. Congress has wrecked our economy with profligate overspending, crushing taxation, and runaway government regulation. Moreover, it has reached into our personal lives in many unacceptable ways. We can fix these problems! We need not continue to endure this situation.
“When Abraham Lincoln said, “I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free”, he referred to the fact that, in 1858, slavery was permitted in half of the United States and that some Americans were free and some were slaves.
“Now, we have another form of tyranny. Each American is half a slave and half free.
“Each American is required to turn over half of his earnings to government and to spend half of his time rearranging his life to conform to government edicts and regulations. Even those Americans who do not directly pay high taxes are similarly enslaved because everything they purchase costs twice as much to pay the taxes of the producer.
“This situation has reduced the productivity of the American people to such a low level that they can no longer produce as much as they consume. As government has taken away our individual freedom, it has also taken away our prosperity – our jobs, homes, savings, and the futures of our children and grandchildren.
Exclusive: The Prince and the Islamic Fairy Tale Susan MacAllen
One of the more ridiculous stumbles from the Obama administration in recent days was the revelation that Obama feels that it must be a chief mission of NASA to do outreach to Muslim countries. According to NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, Obama charged NASA with the task of performing outreach to Muslim nations, in which they should be assured of their own contributions to math and science. Despite some embarrassed backpedaling by Press Secretary Robert Gibbs when questioned about the appropriateness of the assignment, the story seems to be legitimate. U.S. Representative Pete Olson (R-TX), member of the Space and Aeronautics House Subcommittee, confirms that Bolden told members of the committee the same thing before revealing it in an interview with Al Jazeera in June.

Muslim terror magazine “Inspire” in English By Douglas J. Hagmann, Director
What do detailed bomb making instructions, global climate change, Arizona’s immigration law and the American dollar as a reserve currency have in common? They are all mentioned in the first edition of the Yemen-based English language version of Inspire, a magazine published by the Muslim terrorist group Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula’s (AQAP) that was released last Sunday. It is a 67-page glossy publication that is the product of Anwar al-Awlaki (a/k/a Anwar Nasser Abdulla Aulaqi), a U.S. born al Qaeda terrorist and the facilitator for at least two of the 9/11 hijackers. He is also the inspiration behind Fort Hood killer Nidal Malik Hassan, the guidance counselor to the attempted Christmas Day airline bomber, the thwarted Times Square bomber, and at least two other Islamic terrorists in the U.S. It has been branded as the first magazine to be issued by al Qaeda in English.
A complete copy of the publication was obtained and carefully reviewed by investigators of the Northeast Intelligence Network, finding it to represent a new level of threat to the West and specifically, to the United States. Beyond the detailed bomb making instructions using household products and easily accessible components, the publication will likely serve its name well by effectively inspiring Muslims in the U.S. to launch small scale attacks inside our borders.
The magazine features columns ostensibly written by al Qaeda terrorist leaders Ayman al Zawahiri and Osama bin Laden, the latter who favorably references the Progressive’s party’s favorite author and American socialist Noam Chomsky on the evils of U.S. policies.
Elena Kagan: Will She Tolerate Shariah? video 32 seconds
As Dean of Harvard Law School, Elena Kagan banned military recruiters from campus because US law said they couldn't enlist homosexuals. Well, she invited the Saudi's "recruiters" to promote their legal code--Shariah-- which calls for homosexuals to be murdered and women to be treated like animals.
If Kagan tolerates promoting the injustice of Shariah law on the campus of Harvard, what kind of injustice will she tolerate in America during a lifetime on the Supreme Court?
Quo Warranto in Arizona, Lithium in Afghanistan, and Operation Swift Fox in the Gulf By Jim O'Neill
According to the “Post & Email” (with a tip of the hat to Robert Judy), in 2007 Obama signed a notarized Candidate Nomination Paper in Arizona. This document claims that Obama is a Natural Born citizen, and that he meets “all of the constitutional qualifications to be President and Commander-in-Chief.” (Link) and (Link)
Obama may (emphasis on the “may”) be a Native Born citizen, but he is indisputably not, a Natural Born citizen. Hence 1) he lied on the notarized Arizona document, and 2) in any case, he is unqualified to be POTUS, according to Article II—Section I of the US Constitution. (Link) and (Link)
I join my voice with many others in asking Arizona Governor Jan Brewer to file a Quo Warranto lawsuit against Barack Hussein Obama. Force him to prove his legitimacy to be POTUS. (Link)
This dangerous charade has gone on for far too long. “We the people” demand answers now! (Link)

Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann to start Tea Party caucus in House By Alex Pappas --
Grassroots favorite Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota plans to form a Tea Party caucus in the House.
“The House Tea Party Caucus will serve as an informal group of members dedicated to promote Americans’ call for fiscal responsibility, adherence to the Constitution and limited government,” Bachmann wrote in a Thursday letter to Rep. Robert Brady, chairman of the Committee on House Administration.
Bachmann said she plans to serve as the chairwoman of the caucus. Her communication director, Dave Dziok, said in an interview that the congresswoman was alone in forming the idea for the caucus, and that she will reach out to other members to join once the group is approved by House administration.
Judge rips sheriff for rejecting gun permit

Sheriffs should be upholding the Constitution, not passing judgment on political free speech. It’s outrageous that Sheriff Weber denied Mr. Dorr’s right to self-defense for exercising his First Amendment rights.

Arpaio on 16th immigration sweep; takes out the ‘big gun’
A belt-fed .50 caliber machine gun used during Arpaio's 16th crime sweep in Arizona's desert on July 15,
The Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio launched its 16th crime and immigration sweep in a stretch of desert in the southwestern U.S.-Mexico border, on Thursday.
Although the next crime suppression operation had been announced for July 29, Arpaio said the one-day sweep was executed sooner due to reports of many drug and immigrant smugglers activity through the Vekol Valley.
Arpaio ordered the deployment of a powerful belt-fed .50 caliber machine gun to be on site during the operation to ensure deputies' safety, as there have been recent reports of violence in the desolate desert areas.
“If anyone shoots at our deputies, they are going to have a problem,” said Arpaio in a news conference in the minutes prior to the sweep.
In a later statement, Arpaio also said that he is not afraid, but well prepared to face drug traffickers.
"I want to send a message to these criminal traffickers that we will not be intimidated by reports claiming that traffickers are better equipped than our law enforcement officers […] we have the machine guns too and we will not hesitate to use them if the situation calls for it."
By late Thursday night, sheriff's deputies said they had arrested 11 people, including seven of those being investigated for human trafficking. The rest were detained for outstanding warrants and traffic violations.
Thursday's crime sweep coincided with the very first federal hearing regarding Arizona's new immigration law, but Arpaio denied any connection between the two. The next planned sweep is set to take place July 29th, the same day Senate Bill 1070 is scheduled to take effect.

Professor of Women's Studies Slams Islamic Gender Apartheid by Fern Sidman
Concerning the deafening silence of the Western feminist movement in the face of Islamic barbarism, Dr. Chesler said, "Unlike my former feminist colleagues, I am not a multi-cultural relativist who refuses to take a stand against such brutal misogynistic Islamic practices as female genital mutilation, stoning and immolation of women, beatings, forced marriages, child marriages and polygamy."
She noted that as a result of her maverick positions on these issues, Dr. Chesler has been labeled a dissident in the feminist enclaves she once inhabited and has been subjected to acrimony and ad hominem attacks by her feminist peers.
" While I still consider myself a radical feminist, I am shunned by my feminist colleagues" she ruefully observed, adding that, "I am on longer invited to speak at their conferences of functions and when I do speak I require bodyguards and my work is no longer reviewed in the mainstream media."
Dr. Chesler attributes the reluctance to condemn Islamic atrocities against women among those in the Western feminist movement to being caught in the quagmire of political anachronisms. "They are terrified at the thought of being called a racist or being thought of as 'politically incorrect' and as such many of them are merely conformists. They still stand in staunch opposition to the Vietnam War and speak out against imperialism and colonialism. Issues that are no longer relevant," she said.

Autism in the Holy Land: Conference Skyrockets Interest by Ruth Amber Gristak
One in 91 children, and one in 58 boys, are diagnosed with autism. Where do Jewish children rank in autism numbers? Good question. But, with no research in the specific area of autism, there is no answer. Unfortunately, this “lack of answer” is the common end point for most questions about autism. Sadly, there is no definitively known cause for the disorder.
It is likely that this is one reason why the Icare4autism 2010 International Autism conference in Jerusalem brought in over 500 attendees from Israel and around the globe. Attendees included educators, researchers, and those touched by autism.

Obama Administration Approves First Direct Taxpayer Funding of Abortion Through New High-Risk Insurance Pools By Susan Jones, Senior Editor
If you want proof that President Obama's Executive Order on taxpayer-funded abortion was a sham, look no further than Pennsylvania, says House Republican Leader John Boehner (Ohio).
Boehner and other Republicans point to reports that the Health and Human Services Department is giving Pennsylvania $160 million to set up a new high-risk insurance pool that will cover any abortion that is legal in the state.
"The fact that the high-risk pool insurance program in Pennsylvania will use federal taxpayer dollars to fund abortions is unconscionable," Boehner said in a statement on Tuesday.

The Russian Agents, Obama, and the Cover-up BY CLIFF KINCAID
Fortunately, some people are paying critical attention to what has transpired.
Our media do not seem to be interested in the curious matter of why the Russian agents accused of trying to acquire sensitive nuclear information from the U.S. Government were so quickly released. Why were they were sent back to Moscow less than two weeks after they were arrested?
It is certainly the case that a continuing spy scandal threatened to undermine U.S.-Russia business “opportunities” and “cooperation.” It is also true that there is evidence that the Russian agents targeted the Obama Administration and former Clinton Administration officials.
Just before the scandal broke, a $4 billion deal had been announced between Boeing and a Russian firm. During the visit of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to the U.S., Cisco Systems had announced it was going to spend $1 billion in Russia, in part to develop a Moscow version of Silicon Valley. The United States Export-Import Bank had also announced a new deal to underwrite, with U.S. taxpayer dollars, U.S. business exports to Russia.
Plus, Obama had submitted a U.S.-Russian nuclear cooperation agreement, backed by powerful business interests, to the U.S. Congress.
All of this was clearly in jeopardy if the Russian spy scandal led to additional revelations of Russian spying on the American government and businesses. So the scandal had to go away—and quickly.
The exchange was hammered out so quickly and was so advantageous to the Kremlin, however, that it should have become apparent to some journalist somewhere that there was much more to the story. But the issue was just as quickly dropped by the media, liberal and conservative alike.
Side Effects: IRS and Businesses Unite Against Obamacare?
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recently unearthed yet another undesirable side effect of Obamacare—one that will hit the taxman as well as business owners.
The Taxpayer Advocate Service, “an independent organization within the IRS whose employees assist taxpayers,” reports that both the IRS and taxpayers will have trouble complying with the health care law’s extensive new tax reporting regulations.
The regs will affect 40 million businesses, from international mega-corporations to mom-and-pop shops on Main Street. The Taxpayer Advocate Service says it “may propose administrative or legislative recommendations to modify the provision.”
Starting in 2012, Obamacare requires any business, tax-exempt organization, or government entity to file a 1099 form detailing purchases from all vendors that have sold over $600 of goods to the company. The Taxpayer Advocate gives the following example: “If a self-employed individual makes numerous small purchases from an office supply store during a calendar year that total at least $600, the individual must issue a Form 1099 to the vendor and the IRS showing the exact amount of total purchases.”
The National Federation of Independent Businesses says it would be a “crippling” burden for small business. The Taxpayer Advocate agrees that the new reporting scheme could have “distortionary effects” on taxpayer behavior, pushing businesses toward larger vendors at the expense of smaller local suppliers.
The requirement would trigger a paperwork avalanche at the IRS. The report notes that the tax agency “currently is neither structured nor funded to do the job effectively.” Nina Olson, head of advocate services, says, “If the IRS continues to ramp up enforcement while reducing taxpayer service programs, I would be concerned about its ability to administer the new health care credits and penalty taxes in a fair and compassionate way.”

Morning Bell: The Lawyers and Lobbyists Full Employment Act
Without spending a single dime, the Obama administration did more yesterday to create jobs for the U.S. economy than it has throughout its entire existence. With the single stroke of a pen, President Barack Obama signed the Dodd-Frank financial regulation bill that set in motion 243 new formal rule-makings by 11 different federal agencies. Each of the 243 rule-makings will employ hundreds of banking lobbyists as they try to shape what the final actual laws will look like. And when the rules are finally written, thousands of lawyers will bill millions of hours as the richest incumbent financial firms that caused the last crisis figure out how to game the new system. Yesterday, the Washington law firm Jones Day snapped up the Securities and Exchange Commission head enforcement division lawyer, and J.P. Morgan Chase, one of the biggest U.S. banks by assets, assigned more than 100 teams to examine the legislation. University of Massachusetts political science professor Thomas Ferguson tells The Christian Science Monitor:
By delegating so much to the regulators, Congress is inviting everyone interested in the outcome to make more campaign contributions, as they intervene in the regulatory process to influence the regulators. Nothing is settled. It’s a gold mine for members of Congress.
So if the richest big banks, lawyers, lobbyists and Congress were the big winners yesterday, who are the losers? Small banks, entrepreneurs and you.
Community banks may feel pinch from financial overhaul bill By Robert Norris
So what does this financial overhaul bill that Congress passed Thursday mean for community banks?
That's what the bankers want to know.
“We're not entirely sure of all the nuts and bolts and all the details. It's a massive 2,300-page bill,” said Tim Amos, senior vice president/general counsel of the Tennessee Bankers Association.
“We are, over time, going to see a significant amount of change in the way banks offer various kinds of products and services to their customers.”
There is one certainty. When the new law goes into effect, it will mean more regulation and community banks will feel the strain of the added staffing requirements.
“From a banking standpoint there is a concern it will have a very significant impact on smaller and community banks, just on the regulatory burden side. Banks are having to deal with 50 new or revised regulations that came out in the last two years. This will generate another 30, and those are just the mandated regulations,” he said.
Ex-prosecutor: Obama's Kenyan activities may be 'criminal'
McCarthy says Obama's foreign dealings as senator possibly illegal
In a new best-selling book connecting Islam and Obama-style socialism, a former top terrorism prosecutor chides the national media for failing to investigate Barack Obama's "borderline criminal" activities in Kenya as a U.S. senator.
Andrew C. McCarthy, the former U.S. attorney who investigated the American embassy bombing in Nairobi, Kenya, charges that Obama interfered in Kenya's internal politics possibly in violation of the Logan Act.
The centuries-old law bars Americans who are "without authority of the United States" from conducting relations "with any foreign government ... in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States."
In "The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America," McCarthy says Obama undermined U.S. relations with a strong anti-terrorism ally in an African region where al-Qaida operates. In 2006, he details in the book how Obama campaigned for a pro-communist candidate running against Nairobi's pro-American government – "in outrageous contravention of U.S. policy and, probably, federal law."
Supreme Court Case Regarding Pickets Could Weaken First Amendment Protections
The case involving controversial protests at the funerals of fallen soldiers is raising concerns about the future of First Amendment protections for all Americans. Liberty Counsel has filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court, warning of the potential for serious harm to the First Amendment.
Liberty Counsel does not endorse the message contained in the protesters’ signs and other communications and even expressly condemns the offensive tactics of Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church and the content of their rhetoric. However, Liberty Counsel stands with the Founders in supporting the right of protesters and other citizens to present messages of their choosing, even offensive messages, without the chilling effect of tort or other liability or governmental censure.
The First Amendment protects speech that makes our blood boil. If the Constitution only protected pleasing speech, then we would not need a right to free speech. Free speech is a double-edged sword. Either we all have the right to speak, or none of us has the right. We condemn the insensitivity of Fred Phelps, but we also affirm the right to free speech.

Ron Paul Helps Obama Slash National Defense BY CLIFF KINCAID
The “left-right coalition” making up the membership of the group included people from the Center for American Progress and the Cato Institute, both of them funded by George Soros.
In line with Obama chief-of-staff Rahm Emanuel’s admonition that no crisis should go to waste, the Obama Administration is preparing to use the matter of massive debt and deficits to push for drastic cuts in our national U.S. military budget. The proposed cuts, which total $960 billion, could leave the U.S. as a second-rate military power.
Playing a critical role in the effort is Rep. Ron Paul, who is generally considered by his followers to be an opponent of Obama’s liberal agenda. His son Rand Paul is running for the Senate in Kentucky as a libertarian Republican who believes in a strong national defense.
Rep. Paul has called for a U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan and has joined with the far-left in Congress to urge reductions in funding for the war effort there. He calls the U.S. military effort to defeat Al Qaeda and the Taliban an “occupation” of the country and “an ill-advised quagmire with no end in sight.” He says the effort is too expensive and won’t be successful. “It is time to leave Afghanistan to the Afghans to sort out,” he says.

Hey NAACP, the Truth Shall Set Us Free by SFC Steve McQueen (Ret.)
As a co-founder of the Quincy Tea Party I was appalled at the lack of social responsibility and restraint Mr. Jealous displayed in his remarks regarding the Tea Party Movement. I found myself becoming increasingly irritated when he began his political spin and roll tactics to distance himself from his statements. Motivational speaking can backfire if it is at the expense of someone else. Especially if that someone else is 20,000,000 of your countrymen.
But alas, the truth will set us free. You see, Mr. Jealous ignited the single largest surge in Tea Party membership in the movement’s history. The current membership explosion has even surpassed the surge that followed the passage of the Health Control Law. I was amazed by the email and telephone traffic generated by his unfounded remarks. I feel as though we should pay Mr. Jealous a consulting fee or give him some sort of recruiting award

The Face of Black Racism: Malik Zulu Shabazz Discover The Networks
Shortly after Election Day of 2008, Malik Zulu Shabazz, an avid supporter of Barack Obama, became the subject of controversy when it was revealed that he had dispatched two members of his New Black Panther Party to stand outside an open polling station in Philadelphia and intimidate white voters with racial slurs and threats of violence. An inveterate racist and anti-Semite, Shabazz is a protégé of Khalid Abdul Muhammad and Louis Farrakhan, two of the more infamous racists of recent decades. Six months after 9/11, Shabazz praised Osama bin Laden as a Muslim “brother” and a “bold man” who was “standing up” for his beliefs and “bringing reform to this world.” Shabazz has expressed his solidarity with the convicted murderers Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin and Mumia Abu Jamal. And he has urged his followers to: “Kill every goddamn Zionist in Israel! Goddamn little babies, goddamn old ladies! Blow up Zionist supermarkets!”

Muslim terror magazine “Inspire” in English By Doug Hagmann
What do detailed bomb making instructions, global climate change, Arizona’s immigration law and the American dollar as a reserve currency have in common? They are all mentioned in the first edition of the Yemen-based English language version of Inspire, a magazine published by the Muslim terrorist group Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula’s (AQAP) that was released last Sunday. It is a 67-page glossy publication that is the product of Anwar al-Awlaki (a/k/a Anwar Nasser Abdulla Aulaqi), a U.S. born al Qaeda terrorist and the facilitator for at least two of the 9/11 hijackers. He is also the inspiration behind Fort Hood killer Nidal Malik Hassan, the guidance counselor to the attempted Christmas Day airline bomber, the thwarted Times Square bomber, and at least two other Islamic terrorists in the U.S. It has been touted as the first magazine to be issued by al Qaeda in English
Sleeping With The Enemy Malcolm A. Kline
A large chunk of the blame for the ever-deteriorating state of education goes to some of academia’s favorite targets. “Republicans have been asleep on the schools,” author and activist David Horowitz claimed at a July 9, 2010 breakfast on Capitol Hill sponsored by Hillsdale College. “We don’t have a conservative educational reform movement.”
Horowitz authored the Academic Bill of Rights and founded Students for Academic Freedom. “Curricula in virtually every liberal arts college are dedicated precisely to social change,” Horowitz writes in his recent pamphlet Barack Obama’s Rules for Revolution: The Alinsky Model. “The explicit goal of our most prestigious schools of education is promoting ‘social change,’ and even more specifically ‘social justice.’”
“The mission statements of entire universities express a devotion to social change, which is also the routine subject of commencement addresses, often given by anti-capitalist radicals such as Angela Davis and unrepentant terrorists such as Bernadine Dohrn.” Thus, it is hardly astonishing that this educational experience seldom, if ever, even achieves its stated goals.
“You may have noticed that even though there are more than 600 women’s studies departments, which are nothing more than political parties, there has never been one protest of the treatment of women in the Muslim world,” Horowitz said at the Hillsdale First Principles meeting. “I asked Ayaan Hirsi Ali if she was ever invited to speak to a women’s studies department.
You won't believe what Obama's cooking up now ... By Bob Unruh
Family chef elevated to post as 'senior policy adviser'
You've seen the reports about Van Jones, President Obama's onetime "green jobs czar," and Cass Sunstein, his equally volatile "regulatory czar," and Fox News show host Glenn Beck has put together a list of dozens of such appointees.
Now here's the newest White House promotion: "Health food czar" Sam Kass.
"In a comical move even for a czar-happy president who has rewarded dozens of cronies with distinguished titles, the White House has named the Obamas' personal Chicago cook as 'Senior Policy Adviser for Healthy Food Initiatives,'" reports the Washington government watchdog Judicial Watch.
"It's no joke, even though it sounds like a bad one. The Chicago chef's rapid ascension ... has been kept under the radar for the last month," Judicial Watch said.

Spy for Russia was beneficiary of 1986 immigration amnesty through fraud
Vicky Pelaez, a Peruvian journalist just sent out of the U.S. to Russia as part of a spy swap, is reported to have two birth certificates. For U.S. officials, her name is Vicky Pelaez, she’s 55 years old, and her father is Santiago Pelaez, who in reality ought to be her uncle. However, for Peruvian officials, her name is Virginia Pelaez, she’s 58 years old and her father is Horacio Pelaez. Further, she didn’t ask for political asylum in the U.S. but instead took advantage of the “great migratory amnesty” of 1986, which worked in favor of millions of illegal aliens in the United States. .....

Hidden Cameras on the Arizona Border 2: Drugs, Guns and 850 Illegal Aliens By Janice Kephart, Bryan Griffith includes video
“Hidden Cameras on the Arizona Border 2: Drugs, Guns, and 850 Illegal Aliens” is the Center for Immigration Studies' second web-based film on the impact of illegal alien activity in Arizona. The Center's first video on the subject, “Hidden Cameras on the Arizona Border: Coyotes, Bears, and Trails,” has received over 50,000 views to date. This new 10-minute mini-documentary raises the bar, featuring footage of both illegal-alien entry as well as gun- and drug-smuggling. At minimum, the inescapable conclusion is that hidden cameras reveal a reality that illegal-alien activity is escalating.
The hidden camera footage, acquired from a variety of sources, indicates that there is an unfortunate lack of federal law enforcement presence on Arizona’s federal land on the border in Nogales, in the Coronado National Forest (15 miles inside the border), and the Casa Grande Sector (80 miles inside the border). Also significant to the story are responses received as part of Freedom of Information Act requests made by Janice Kephart, the Center’s Director of National Security Studies, in August 2009. Featured in the film is a 2004 federal government PowerPoint showing the near-complete devastation of a borderland national park due to illegal-alien activity, highlighting the disconnect between the situation on the ground in Arizona and Washington rhetoric.
Hezbollah at the Border by Connie Hair
Signs are growing that the terror group Hezbollah has expanded its long-established influence with South and Central American drug cartels into a working presence in Mexico.
Rep. Sue Myrick (R.-N.C.) is asking the Department of Homeland Security to form a task force to investigate ties between the Islamic terror group Hezbollah, the drug cartels in Central and South America and new indications of a Hezbollah presence in Mexico.
Could Border Smugglers Turn to Piracy? By: Anthony Brazos
On any given day, a game of cat and mouse is being played out along “Smuggler’s Corridor,” the nearshore waters off Southern California and Northern Baja California.
Smuggling Squeeze – Escalations and aggressive enforcement by United States agencies including the Coast Guard and Customs and Border Protection could lead narcotic and illegal alien smugglers to resort to piracy.
United States federal agents play cat. Their role is to nab smugglers as they ferry illicit human and narcotic cargo across the border.
The role of mouse is typically played aboard a small boat, usually an open skiff called a panga. Smugglers avoid detection by motoring across the border at night.
If lucky, they drop their cargoes on beaches and in bays and coves, and then return from whence they came. If unlucky, they may be captured by U.S. federal agents or fall victim to rough seas. Last year, two illegal immigrants died.
It’s a high-risk game, but rewards are high, too. A single smuggling skiff may carry nearly a ton of marijuana with a street value of $100,000 or more.
Pangas carry expensive human cargo, too. They’re often overloaded with two dozen or more illegal immigrants, who pay between $2,500 and $4,000 each to be brought to the U.S.
The human and drug smuggling trade is so lucrative that it is almost completely controlled by Mexican drug cartels, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents. ...
Mexican cartel farmers believed to be back growing marijuana in North Texas BY STEVE CAMPBELL
Cagey Mexican drug cartel farmers appear to be back at work growing marijuana in thickly forested areas in North Texas, law enforcement officials say.
It's still early in the growing season, but the Ellis County Sheriff's Department has already unearthed nearly 30,000 high-grade marijuana plants on two plots of private property discovered about 40 miles south of Dallas, Lt. James Saulter said.
Last year, Texas law enforcement officials destroyed a record 62,000 pot plants, with most grown in sophisticated operations in Ellis and Navarro counties.
“Brown Dog” Democrats Giving White House Heartburn on Carbon Criminalization. Politico (7/16) reports, “President Barack Obama’s next big legislative priority — a comprehensive energy and climate bill — sits in limbo in no small part because of wavering senators from his own party. About a dozen Democrats — from the Great Plains, Midwest, Appalachia and the South — continue to resist the idea of putting a cap on greenhouse gas emissions.
This Rahall Bill is Dangerously CLEAR: Empower NOAA, Restrict Domestic Energy Exploration and Slap a New $2 Per Barrel Tax on Oil Extraction. E&E News (7/15 subs. req’d) reports, “The House Natural Resources Committee today approved sweeping legislation to reform federal oversight of offshore drilling in the wake of the Gulf of Mexico disaster. The bill from Chairman Nick Rahall (D-W.Va.), approved 27-21, would reorganize the beleaguered federal agency tasked with overseeing offshore oil and gas drilling into three separate leasing, enforcement and revenue-collection entities. It also contains provisions to overhaul onshore oil and gas regulation, create a solar and wind leasing program and boost conservation funding. The legislation likely will be folded into the House's Gulf spill package, expected on the floor sometime this month. No Republicans voted for the measure, and two Democrats voted against it: Reps. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (S.D.) and Dan Boren (Okla.). "Democrats are trying to exploit the Gulf oil spill as an opportunity to pass costly, controversial and otherwise doomed legislation," ranking member Doc Hastings (R-Wash.) said. "Democrats should not use this tragedy to build up a Christmas tree bill of unrelated new spending, taxes and laws."

Hizb ut-Tahrir in America: Lessons from Great Britain
Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT), a transnational Islamist movement described as a "conveyor belt" for jihadist terror, is preparing to play a much more active role in recruiting American Muslims. Although the cancellation of HT's U.S. Khilafah Conference this month was a setback, the group is likely to persist in its American recruitment efforts because it is committed to its ultimate mission: establishing an international Islamic caliphate (Khilafah).
The organization's activities in Great Britain - perhaps its leading Western hub - may offer a clue as to the group's intentions in the United States.
In an interview, former Hizb ut-Tahrir in Britain member Ghaffar Hussain notes that HT doctrine specifies three stages of recruitment: Stage One, in which the group focuses on propaganda and recruiting new members; Stage Two, in which the party interacts with the larger Muslim community; and Stage Three, when it tries to take power.
Hussain believes Hizb ut-Tahrir in America is about to enter the second stage. That's where HT was in Great Britain back in 1993, when Hussain, then a teenager, was caught up in a wave of activism.
NOTE: I have posted many articles & videos about this group - they are in the archived indexes - one on July 12,
2.5 Million Muslims Threaten to Leave Facebook
While some Muslims call for the death of Mark Zuckerberg and other Facebook Staff, others are apparently threatening to leave the platform. Since most of the antisemitic and jihadist content we find is coming from Muslims and since Facebook doesn't do anything proactively about it, this might actually a positive step in its removal. It's important to note that Facebook, with its 500 million members, probably does not care about 2.5 million members threatening to leave. One can only imagine how little they care about our concerns, too, considering there are so few Jews and supporters of Israel on the platform, which is dominated with viral jihadist, antisemitic, and anti-Israel content.

Daycares Don’t Care Dr Laura
I consider day care (outside of emergency backup) a form of child neglect, and definitely one of society’s ills, as mothers are being universally reinforced to turn their babies, toddlers, and small children over to institutionalization instead of loving parental contact for most of the day.
One of you emailed to me a link to a website called Daycares Don’t Care…How Can A Daycare Love? It’s at www.daycaresdontcare.org. Here’s a sample of what’s on their homepage:
“Everyone knows it’s true, but almost everyone is afraid to say it: day care institutions don’t care about or love your child like you do. For years, many experts have been warning us about the detrimental consequences for children placed in day care. This website contains an extensive index of publications about the problems with day care from well-known child development authorities, psychologist, psychiatrists, pediatricians, public policy analysts, sociologists, day care providers, and others. .....

Let's roll! Your chance to stop Ground Zero mosque By Chelsea Schilling
Firefighter who lost 93 friends in 9/11 attacks fights to preserve 'landmark'
A former firefighter and 9/11 first responder is urging New York City officials to block construction of a 13-story Islamic mosque to be built just steps from Ground Zero where Muslim terrorists murdered nearly 100 of his personal friends in the name of Allah.
Tim Brown, who survived the Twin Towers' collapse, is represented by the constitutional law firm American Center for Law and Justice, or ACLJ, as he urges New York City officials to landmark the site of the planned Islamic mosque.
The ACLJ attended a July 13 hearing before the Landmarks Preservation Commission, a New York City agency responsible for identifying and designating city landmarks. The commission has been asked to designate the current building near Ground Zero as a landmark. The hearing record has been left open for one week to allow for written public comment.
The ACLJ is asking Americans to add their names to its committee to stop the Ground Zero mosque. At the time of this report, the petition had been signed by more than 4,000 people.

What?! FBI weblinks promote Ayers, Peltier By Bob Unruh
Unrepentant terrorist lauded, freedom sought for convicted killer of 2 agents
The website for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which is assigned to protect the United States and enforce its laws, links to sites that laud the work of unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers and promote freedom for convicted agent-killer Leonard Peltier.
The issue was highlighted by researcher and writer Phil Kent, who heads a communications company in a lengthy career that includes a stint as a press secretary to a U.S. senator, years of writing for the Augusta, Ga., Chronicle, the presidency of the American Research Foundation and serving as spokesman for Americans for Immigration Control.
His report was documented by WND, which confirmed that the FBI website page discussing hate crimes lists as a "resource" the Southern Poverty Law Center, a radically liberal organization that according to its own site "is dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry … using litigation, education and other forms of advocacy."
In special deal, charity gives rationing advocate Berwick health coverage for life Byron York
Donald Berwick, recess-appointed by President Obama to head Medicare and Medicaid, is a well-known advocate of health care rationing and admirer of Britain's National Health Service. Rising health costs and limited resources "require decisions about who will have access to care and the extent of their coverage," Berwick wrote in 1999. Last year, he said, "The decision is not whether or not we will ration care -- the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open." Of the NHS, Berwick says simply, "I love it," adding that it is "one of the great human health care endeavors on earth."
As it turns out, Berwick himself does not have to deal with the anxieties created by limited access to care and the extent of coverage. In a special benefit conferred on him by the board of directors of the Institute for Health Care Improvement, a nonprofit health care charitable organization he created and which he served as chief executive officer, Berwick and his wife will have health coverage "from retirement until death."

Barackracy, Part 2 - Reversing Course and Restoring Liberty
"The people of the U.S. owe their Independence & their liberty, to the wisdom of descrying in the minute tax of 3 pence on tea, the magnitude of the evil comprised in the precedent. Let them exert the same wisdom, in watching against every evil lurking under plausible disguises, and growing up from small beginnings." --James Madison
In Part 1 of this essay, "Breaking the Back of Free Enterprise," I noted, "Barack Hussein Obama's macro agenda to accomplish the 'fundamental transformation of America' is to break the back of capitalism and, in the ensuing crisis, use government intervention to replace it with a more refined socialist economic framework than the one currently in place."
I then posited the question, "Is there still time to restore the primacy of free enterprise over Socialism and turn back Obama and his Leftist ilk?"
The short answer is yes. I believe there is still time to implement political solutions to reverse course and restore Essential Liberty, constitutional Rule of Law and its economic expression, free enterprise. But that window is closing.
There is an economic catastrophe on our horizon, (the Obama Plan), one whose full force will likely be felt in the next few years. It will bring with it massive increases in taxation and income redistribution accompanied by inflation of the cost of goods and services and, ultimately, centralization of the economy through complete regulation of every economic sector. This scenario will be modeled after Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal policies, but it will be so massive as to fully institutionalize Socialism on a national scale.
That's the bad news.
The good news is there exists a solution, short of civil disobedience and revolution, to dispense with the Obama Plan. That solution is a revitalized national movement to restore constitutional integrity. That effort is now well underway bearing the Tea Party label -- not a political party, per se, but the advocacy of a set of principles to restore Rule of Law.
Our success will require a groundswell of action in the next few election cycles, and the seating of a majority of legislators who have both a firm understanding of the principles of Essential Liberty and a willingness to enact the bold and difficult legislation necessary to restore constitutional Rule of Law.
Daniel Greenfield article: The Immorality of the Moral High Ground
Throughout the War on Terror, liberals have been lecturing us on the virtue of holding on to the "Moral High Ground", which is their way of saying that we should forgo trying to defeat terrorists military, and instead show them up with our superior civil liberties. Yes Abdul, you may have a suitcase nuke, but if we catch you, we'll still pay for your legal defense. Torture our soldiers if you will, Mohammed, but see if you aren't impressed when we TIVO your favorite team's soccer matches for you in that horrible 19 million dollar hellhole of misery and degradation at Guantanamo Bay.
Of course Mohammed is never going to be very impressed by his free legal team, Halal cooking, volleyball courts and pro bono prosthetic legs, because Islamists don't derive their moral high ground from doing nice things for their enemies. They derive their moral high ground from getting up on a high place and tossing rocks or grenades down at their enemies. A Good Muslim is willing to kill for Islam. The Koran says so explicitly. On the other hand liberals insist that only a Bad American is willing to kill for America. A Good American will believe that Islam is a religion of peace, even while he's having his head chopped off by Johnny Mujaheed. He will eschew any tacky American flags, in favor of Chomsky and Zinn essays that will enable him to understand what a rotten country he lives in, and why the terrorists chopping his head off might have a point. All this really means is that practicing the Moral High Ground is a good way to get beheaded and reading the works of mentally ill Communists is not a good survival strategy.
We can't win the War on Terror so long as we hold to liberal definitions of the Moral High Ground. We can't even begin to really fight it. What's worse, is that not only does this warped understanding of morality result in more American deaths, it results in more deaths of both fighters and civilians on the enemy side. Because where the soldier understand that the most moral way to win a war is, quickly. The bleeding heart liberal thinks that the most moral way to win a war is, never. To a liberal if we must fight a war, we should do it with our hands tied behind our backs, and after a decade of senseless bloodshed, we'll finally come to realize that war is a bad thing.
Putting liberals in charge of determining what soldiers can do in a war is like putting die hard big government advocates in charge of privatizing the government. Not only will they see that the whole thing fails, they'll make sure that it fails as painfully and horribly as possible in order to serve as a lesson to any future government that might flirt with any similar notion. They did it with the War on Terror, intimidating military interrogators with threats of legal action and exposure, while helping the terrorists realize that all they need to do is claim torture in order to be set free. They did it brilliantly in Iraq, subverting the reconstruction in the aftermath of a successful war, from within, until the entire thing collapsed into squabbling factions. They did it on Iran, feeding false claims that there was no nuclear program long enough for Bush to leave office.
Redrawing the Republican Road Map By Jim O'Neill
“They must take no prisoners. They must root out the traitors in their own party and tar and feather them and parade them in the town square.”—Lee S. Glidden Jr.
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) recently came out with a “new road map” for Republicans. It deals mostly with pragmatic suggestions for fixing the economy, and how can you not love that, after watching the anti-capitalistic, corrupt, destructive machinations of the current Democratic regime?
Fred Barnes writes that “If Republicans adopt [Ryan’s] road map as their basic ideological blueprint, it offers them the prospect of a landslide in the midterm election this year, followed by victory in the presidential election in 2012.”
Uh huh.
Well, with all due respect, I would like to offer an addendum to Mr. Ryan’s Republican “road map.” As much as I like his “map,” I think it needs a bit more “oomph” added to it.
I believe that in order for the Republicans to escape their “Progressive-Lite” label, and fire-up their conservative base, they need to get much more “down and dirty.” They need to offer something that people can believe in, grab onto, and fight for. Something like this:

Dutch lawmaker forms anti-Islam group By MIKE CORDER (AP)
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — An anti-Islam lawmaker in the Netherlands is forming an international alliance to spread his message across the West in a bid to ban immigration from Islamic countries, among other goals.
Geert Wilders told The Associated Press in an interview Thursday he will launch the movement late this year, initially in five countries: the U.S., Canada, Britain, France and Germany.
"The message, 'stop Islam, defend freedom,' is a message that's not only important for the Netherlands but for the whole free Western world," Wilders said at the Dutch parliament.
Among the group's aims will be outlawing immigration from Islamic countries to the West and a ban on Islamic Sharia law. Starting as a grass-roots movement, he hopes it eventually will produce its own lawmakers or influence other legislators.

Arab Television Airs Footage of Times Square Bomber
The al-Arabiya TV station says it has video footage of the failed Times Square car bomb suspect meeting with Pakistani Taliban leaders along the Afghan border. The station broadcast excerpts showing Faisal Shahzad saying he planned a "revenge attack" against the United States that he hoped would touch the hearts of Muslims.
Shahzad appears in the clips sitting on the ground in a black turban and military fatigues, with a gun next to him as he reads verses from the Koran. The station also says Shahzad appears in part of the 40-minute video that it did not broadcast with a prominent Pakistani Taliban leader in the tribal regions along the Afghan border.
In June, Shahzad pleaded guilty to carrying out the failed May 1 bombing in Times Square.
NOTE: Reading the Koran is the common denominator in these terrorists!

Obama Offshore Ban Forces Another Contractor to Move Rigs Elsewhere from Gulf of Mexico – Don’t Worry: Our Loss is Congo’s Gain. Associated Press (7/13) reports, “Diamond Offshore Drilling has pulled another rig out of the Gulf of Mexico due to restrictions on deepwater drilling in U.S. waters do to the BP oil spill. The Houston company said this week that it has ordered the Ocean Confidence rig to the Republic of Congo. The rig departed the Gulf over the weekend and is expected to arrive off the African coast in 60 days. Diamond Offshore said it moved the rig after rewriting a drilling contract with a subsidiary of Murphy Exploration and Production Co. Its current contract with Murphy was changed to a one-year commitment in the Gulf that will begin when Murphy is confident it can get permits to drill. In exchange, the companies signed a new agreement to drill off the coast of the Republic of Congo. The Congo project is expected to generate about $234 million in total revenue. The Ocean Confidence, a massive rig that can drill to depths of 35,000 feet, has been in operation since 2001. Last week, Diamond Offshore said it was moving another Gulf rig to Egypt. It is widely expected that many offshore operators will move equipment out of the Gulf until the backlash from BP's out-of-control well subsides.
See How They Run: Senate Democrats In Open Revolt Over Reid Plan to Vote on Energy-Climate Bill in 2 Weeks – Wasn’t the Health Care Vote Bad Enough? Roll Call (7/15) reports, “But for Democrats up for re-election this year, the issue — in any form — appears to be a loser. “There are a lot of Members who aren’t enthusiastic about having energy hang over the August recess like health care hung over last year’s recess,” one senior Senate Democratic aide said. Indeed, raucous town hall meetings in which Members were excoriated by conservative tea party activists for their support of a health care reform bill that had yet to be debated remain a fresh memory in many Senators’ minds. Last year’s July Fourth recess also proved difficult for House Democrats who voted for a far-reaching and controversial climate change bill that Republicans dubbed “a national energy tax.” And one senior Senate GOP aide predicted that, “A July debate about the energy tax absolutely has the capability of re-creating the town hell experience that greeted Democrats over health care in 2009.” Sources said Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) — who is a part of Reid’s leadership team but is also facing a stiff challenge from Republican Dino Rossi this year — and vulnerable incumbent Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) have expressed doubts about taking up the energy issue this year.
Assault 'n Battery: Obama Flies to Mich. Today to Break Ground on Electric Battery Financed by $151 Million in Taxpayer Money – One Problem: “It Might Never” Actually Open Its Doors. Washington Post, Obama's 'battery story' has yet to put a charge in the American public “Obama is flying to Michigan on Thursday to attend the groundbreaking of an electric battery company that received $151 million in federal stimulus funding. It will mark his fourth battery-related trip as president, coming as the White House makes an aggressive push to tell what one senior official called "the battery story": the tale of a small piece of technology that could affect daily life and spur employment if properly nurtured. The problem, however, is that the battery story has yet to occur, and might never. For now, it is just a promise. Skeptics argue that there will be insufficient demand for advanced batteries to sustain the U.S. factories now being built, and that such batteries are already being expertly produced abroad. "The battery story is highly questionable," said Menahem Anderman, founder and chief executive of Total Battery Consulting, who estimates that the global capacity to build car batteries in 2014 will be three times greater than the demand that year. "Basically, there's really no proven market, neither electric vehicle nor plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. And there's really no battery company in the United States that has a verified product."
Air Tests in Fort Worth Confirm that Natural Gas Exploration is Having ZERO Effect on Air Quality in the Area. Ft. Worth Star-Telegram (7/13) reports, “Natural gas drilling in Fort Worth and Arlington isn't a major cause of air pollution, according to a study funded by a local industry group. The Barnett Shale Energy Education Council hired environmental consultant Titan Engineering to test the air quality around natural gas drilling sites. The tests were conducted from June 1 to 15 near two compressor stations in Fort Worth and eight completed well sites, seven in Fort Worth and one in Arlington. The researchers concluded that natural gas drilling did contribute contaminants into the air, such as benzene and toluene, but none at levels that should cause health concerns. "Hopefully that's information that the public can take and feel good about," said Ed Ireland, the council 's executive director. Ireland said the test results and full data will be posted on the council's website, www.bseec.org. Arlington Mayor Robert Cluck, who was briefed on the study Tuesday, said the results are "really good news" for the community. He said he trusts that the results are accurate and that they confirm his belief that air pollution from drilling is not a significant concern.

Palestinian Suffering in Gaza at the Hands of Hamas: 5 Reasons
Stats and Facts on Israeli Humanitarian Aid Transfers to Gaza
Quality of life for Palestinians in Gaza has deteriorated considerably since Iran-backed Hamas took over the area in a bloody coup against the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority (PA) in June 2007.[1] Hamas – designated a terrorist organization by the European Union, the United States, Israel, Canada, and Australia[2] – has deprived its people of basic rights and created a regime that endangers its own citizens.[3] Meanwhile, for four years Hamas has held kidnapped Israeli soldier Staff Sgt. Gilad Shalit and has refused to allow the International Committee of the Red Cross to visit him, in violation of the Geneva Convention.[4] Following are five reasons people in Gaza are suffering under Hamas rule.
1. Loss of Palestinian lives and property due to Hamas’s continued rocket attacks against Israel.
2. Hamas’s violent takeover of Gaza and persecution of political opponents.
3. Hamas’s indoctrination of children in violent ideology through its network of summer camps.
4. Hamas’s enforcement of strict Islamic morality and repression of women. In line with its roots as a fundamentalist religious movement based on the Muslim Brotherhood,[26] Hamas has gradually imposed Sharia (Islamic religious law) on Gazans, despite past statements by the group’s leaders that it would not do so.
5. Hamas’s repeated attempts to block humanitarian aid from reaching its citizens. Although Israel has delivered more than a million tons of food and other supplies into Gaza since January 2009,[33] Hamas has attacked Israel-Gaza border crossings, including the Kerem Shalom crossing through which about 200 truckloads of aid enter Gaza per week.
The two faces of Mahmoud Abbas: He says one thing to the Palestinians, another to Obama BY ELLIOTT ABRAMS
"I say in front of you, Mr. President, that we have nothing to do with incitement against Israel, and we're not doing that," claimed Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas during his visit to the White House in June.
It is unfortunate for the prospects of Middle East peace that this denial by Abbas (who is also head of the PLO and Fatah) was just plain untrue. In fact, this two-faced stance of Abbas and his cronies - proclaiming peaceful intentions to the international community while inciting their population to hatred of Israel - is one of the primary impediments to any sort of solution to the longstanding crisis.
And yet there are countless examples of pronouncements or actions by Abbas and other Palestinian leaders that suggest a glorification of violence and terrorism and undermine the belief that they seek peace. This very month, for example, Abbas publicly mourned the death of Mohammed Oudeh, mastermind of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre: "The deceased was one of the prominent leaders of the Fatah movement and lived a life filled with the struggle, devoted effort, and the enormous sacrifice of the deceased for the sake of the legitimate problem of his people."
Abbas also told Arab journalists in Amman, Jordan, that "We are unable to confront Israel militarily, and this point was discussed at the Arab League summit in March in [Libya]. There I turned to the Arab states and I said: 'If you want war, and if all of you will fight Israel, we are in favor. But the Palestinians will not fight alone because they don't have the ability to do it.' "
Why should Israelis, or Americans for that matter, believe his commitment to peace in English, when in Arabic he treats war as an acceptable option?

The Single Transferable Vote System Paul Eidelberg
Now that England is contemplating a fundamental change in its age-old parliamentary electoral system, replacing "first-past-the-post" plurality elections with the Preferential Vote, perhaps the Preferential Vote should also be adopted by Israel to replace Proportional Representation (PR). Since Israel makes the entire country a single electoral district, PR produces Israel's unstable, inept, and corrupt system of multiparty cabinet government.
Moreover, PR effectively disempowers the citizens of this country by compelling them to vote for fixed party slates. As a consequence, Members of the Knesset are not individually accountable to the voters in regional elections. It was this electoral system that enabled Likud MKs to betray their voters by adopting Labor's policy of unilateral disengagement from Gaza after the public had overwhelming rejected that policy in the January 2003. One way to remedy this treacherous and undemocratic state of affairs is to adopt the Preferential Vote, also called the Single Transferable Vote (STV) system.
STV employs preferential voting to provide parties and groups with direct representation, with mathematical exactness, in proportion to their respective voting strengths. To be elected, a candidate in an STV election must receive a number of votes equal to the quota determined by the following formula:
.......Number of valid votes
Q = –––––––––––––––––––– + 1
........Number of seats + 1
If there are, say nine seats on a council and 100,000 valid votes are cast, the quota is 10,000 or 10% of the valid votes cast plus 1. Any candidate receiving the quota is declared elected.
After the first count, the candidate with the fewest votes is declared defeated. His/her votes are transferred to the remaining candidates according to second choices, and a new count is taken to determine the candidates meeting the quota. This process is continued until the entire body is elected.
Ballots received by a candidate exceeding the quota can be distributed by one of two methods. The first provides that surplus ballots are transferred immediately to the next choices indicated. The second method involves distributing the surplus ballots in proportion to the second choices indicated on all first-choice ballots.
The Single Transferable Vote system of proportional representation is excellent for a country like Israel. STV favors a geographically dispersed group whose constituency is based on interest or on ideology rather than residence. It does not reduce the electoral influence of a group if its members are divided in their first preference votes because the transfer of votes will maximize the influence of the group.
In addition, a minority party or group cannot benefit from a divided opposition and elect a majority of the members of a legislative body, and the coat-tail effect of a popular candidate at the head of a party column is eliminated as are problems associated with redistricting, including gerrymandering.
This system is used in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the national and local elections in the Republic of Ireland, and in Australia’s Senate. (See J.F. Zimmerman, “Alternative Voting Systems for Representative Democracy,” PS: Political Science & Politics, Dec. 1994, p. 676.)
PS. Australia’s system, according to the latest literature, has the merit of eliminating very small parties from the legislature without negating their electoral influence. See Gary W. Cox, Making Votes Count (Cambridge Univ. Press, 1997), pp. 92-95 dealing with the alternative vote system for Australia’s lower house. Experts like Cox could design the system we need for Israel.
CNN GROUND ZERO MOSQUE DEBATE: GELLER VS. MUSLIM AMERICAN SOCIETY video

Watch the whole thing. "Collective intolerance," blah blah blah.
Sexy Web Searches? Call it Pornistan By Kelli Morgan
... They may call it the "Land of the Pure," but Pakistan turns out to be anything but.
The Muslim country, which has banned content on at least 17 websites to block offensive and blasphemous material, is the world's leader in online searches for pornographic material, FoxNews.com has learned.
“You won’t find strip clubs in Islamic countries. Most Islamic countries have certain dress codes,” said Gabriel Said Reynolds, professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Notre Dame. “It would be an irony if they haven’t shown the same vigilance to pornography.”
So here's the irony: Google ranks Pakistan No. 1 in the world in searches for pornographic terms, outranking every other country in the world in searches per person for certain sex-related content.
Pakistan is top dog in searches per-person for "horse sex" since 2004, "donkey sex" since 2007, "rape pictures" between 2004 and 2009, "rape sex" since 2004, "child sex" between 2004 and 2007 and since 2009, "animal sex" since 2004 and "dog sex" since 2005, according to Google Trends and Google Insights, features of Google that generate data based on popular search terms. .....
NOTE: One of the so-called “causes” for increased Islamic agitation and militancy directed against the West is the “offense” taken by the Muslim world to the West’s libertarianism.
It’s common to find Muslim leaders decrying the “debauchery” and “depravity” of the West, and how this “immorality” is “invading” the Muslim world.
Not surprisingly, given the supremacist attitude so common to radical Islam, these warning cries are typically couched in the spirit of Islamic moral supremacy. Indeed, organizations like Hizb ut-Tahrir tout the supremacy of Islamic values as one rationale for Muslims in America to isolate themselves from the society around them and carve out their own Muslim enclaves.
Given this moral breast-thumping, we should expect to find that one of the world’s largest Muslim countries, Pakistan, is an exemplar of personal Islamic moral conduct, right?
Well, not exactly.
Europe's Burqa Battle by Samara Greenberg and Richard Smith
France's lower house of parliament overwhelmingly approved a bill yesterday that would ban wearing the Islamic full veil, or burqa, in public places such as post offices, universities, hospitals and state-owned premises, as well as public transport. Three-hundred and thirty-five members voted for the bill, and only one voted against it in the 557-seat National Assembly. Many of the opposition Socialists, who originally wanted the ban limited only to public buildings, abstained from voting. It must now be ratified by the Senate in September to become law.

Qaeda magazine urges killing of those who defame Mohammed By W.G. Dunlop
DUBAI — An English-language Al-Qaeda magazine in its first issue ran an article it said was penned by US-born Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki calling for the execution of anyone who defames the Prophet Mohammed.
"The proper solution to this growing campaign of defamation" of the prophet is "the execution of those involved," reads the article in web magazine "Inspire," in a text provided by the US monitoring service SITE on Sunday.
The article singles out Seattle-based cartoonist Molly Norris, who satirically proposed to make May 20 an "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day," although Islam bans the depiction of any prophet as blasphemous. [NOTE: This is not quite true. There are many depictions of Muhammad, mostly in Shiite Islam.]
"A cartoonist out of Seattle, Washington, named Molly Norris started the 'Everyone Draw Mohammed Day,'" the article attributed to the radical Yemeni cleric says.
"She should be taken as a prime target of assassination, along with others who participated in her campaign.
"The large number of participants makes it easier for us because there are many targets to choose from," reads the article in the magazine of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP.
The killings should not, however, be limited to "Draw Mohammed" participants, the article says.
"Because (participants) are practising a 'right' that is defended by the law, they have the backing of the entire Western political system. This would make... attacking any Western target legal from an Islamic viewpoint."
"We will fight" to defend Mohammed, the article says. "We will instigate, we will bomb, and we will assassinate, and may our mothers be bereaved of us if we do not rise in his defence." ......

Volcano Pacaya Active Again in Guatemala By June Kellum
Minor explosions were reported Tuesday from Guatemala’s volcano Pacaya, located about 24 miles from Guatemala City, according to Spanish newswire EFE.
Five explosions of ash rose 160 feet into the air according to authorities who are closely monitoring its activity. They expect the activity to increase and have placed a temporary ban on tourists hiking on the volcano, according to the report.
Last May, Pacaya erupted leaving at least one journalist dead, and about 2,000 people had to evacuate, according to Spanish language Terra TV. The blast last May released tons of sand and cost millions of dollars in damage.
When Pacaya erupted in February 2000, it spewed an incandescent stream of lava for three hours, to a height of nearly 4,000 feet, according to Guatemala’s Institute of Volcanology.
The volcano has been active with periodic eruptions since 1565, according to the institute.

The Star Players in the ShoreBank Story by Central Illinois 9/12 Project ****
The Shorebank story is quite complicated and filled with literally hundreds – if not thousands — of individuals who have been in some way involved in the unfolding of an intriguing saga. It has been difficult to narrow down the field of characters in order to focus on just a few. Some of the names are familiar, and some are relatively unknown (except, perhaps, within the context of their own circles of influence).
.... In this video, Hillary Clinton speaks (in September 2008) about Shorebank. The “Ron” she refers to is Ron Grzywinski, one of the founders of Shorebank (founded in 1973).
... Another significant connection between Obama and Shorebank is the fact that his political campaigns (both IL Senatorial and US Presidential) were very generously contributed to by its staff.

Daniel Greenfield article: The Inhuman Government
One of the great errors of big government liberalism is its belief that inhuman systems are superior to human beings. This form of mechanical thinking is a commonplace error in a scientific age in which we have become used to using mechanical systems to solve problems. But people are not machines, and trying to turn people into gears in the great machine of government leads to tragic results.
The embrace of big government in the United States was driven by the belief in scientific government as a perfectible system. This creepy worship of elitist technocracy lingers around the more idealistic liberal administrations, from FDR to JFK to Obama. Always followed by a list of PhD's and degree holders in the cabinet revealing a failure to understand that higher education does not make one immune from human flaws. The idea of a perfected government is at odds with democracy, which treats political chaos and voter misjudgments as valid tradeoffs for a leash on government. It worships the idea of government, rather than the reality of government. An egotistical exercise for policy wonks certain that the right people can set everything to right, regardless of what the people as a whole might think about it.
Democrat Voter Fraud is Far More Widespread Than You Think By Fred Dardick
Last week I wrote an article titled How Obama Used an Army of Thugs to Steal the 2008 Democratic Primary that introduced the conservative community to the movie “We Will Not Be Silenced”, made by Democrat activist Gigi Gaston two years ago. Her video documented widespread voter fraud committed by Obama supporters during the 2008 Democratic primary election to secure the nomination for Obama over the popular vote winner Hillary Clinton.
The story went viral and 24 hours later Fox News asked Gaston to appear on the Sunday morning program Fox and Friends. For the first time many Americans saw for themselves first hand accounts from Democrats who personally witnessed “the disenfranchising of American citizens by the Democratic Party and the Obama Campaign.”

A UPI dispatch reports: "A former Arab leader, in close touch with current leaders, speaking privately not for attribution, told this reporter July 6, `All the Middle Eastern and Gulf leaders now want Iran taken out of the nuclear arms business and they all know sanctions won't work.'"
2. U.S. Government Cannot Find Evidence That Flotilla Organizer is Terrorist, Germany Can
Not only are the Saudis ahead of the U.S. government, so is Germany. In an earlier article I provided proof--including U.S. court records--that the Turkish IHH, organizer of the flotilla and a Hamas ally--was lined to terrorism. Now Germany has banned the group from raising money for that very reason. So might one expect that observers reevaluate the flotilla? And I'm not talking about the good intentions of the European participants but the fact that they were being used for a pro-terrorist public relations' operation.
3. Who Says the Media is Biased?
An Israeli army report was fascinating in its details on the flotilla operation, including the fact that three soldiers were taken hostage and taken to a lower deck, two escaped by jumping into the sea, and the third was too injured to do so. Thus, the need for a rescue raid using force. Lots of other new material.
There was also a real failure. The navy disregarded intelligence and reports from others that the militants would use violence if the soldiers went on board.
Eiland summarized his report as follows: "We found some professional mistakes that were made, however there were also positive aspects. Specifically, the manner in which the Israeli commandos behaved, the decisions that they made and the way in which they took control of the ship. There were at least 4 incidents where Mavi Marmara passengers shot at IDF soldiers. There is good reason to believe that the first incident of live fire shooting on the ship was by passengers of the Mavi Marmara. The classified suggestions that I made were accepted in an open and willing manner by the officers who received them."
So what are the headlines? Israel Says At Least Four Flottila Members Fired at Soldiers?
Of course not!:
Israel military faulted over flotilla raid (AFP)
Israel report blames flawed planning for Gaza raid (AP)
Israel failed in ship interception planning: reports (Reuters)
4. PA Leader Says No Direct Talks, Throws Pie in Obama's Face
Mahmoud Abbas said it would be pointless to engage in direct negotiations with Israel. President Barck Obama says he wants direct negotiations. Oh, no! PA leader, recipient of massive U.S. aid, thwarts will of president. U.S. media rage at extremism, intransigence, ingratitude, proof that Palestinian leaders don't want peace? Palestinian-Americans undergo crisis of conscience; write letters to editor beginning, "As a Palestinian I cannot approve the actions of...: form anti-Palestinian lobby called A Street? President criticizes publicly, puts on major pressure, supports the other side?
No, we're talking about the PA, not Israel.
AZ Ceded to Mexico and the Rise of the Obama Police State? By Sher Zieve
“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.” This is the opening paragraph of the thirteen United States colonies’ declaration of independence from the then tyrannical England on 4 July 1776. It was then, and remains today, the primary seminal founding document of the United States of America.
Our Declaration of Independence was affirmed against the despot King George III. However, with only a few modifications I submit that this same declaration could be filed today against the current regime now ruling—not governing—over We-the-People of the United States of America.

Did BP play a role in the release of a notorious terrorist? By Brett Michael Dykes
A U.S. lawmaker is calling on the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations to investigate whether BP influenced the release of Pan Am Flight 103 Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi.
Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey wants to know whether a quid pro quo led to the 2009 decision by U.K. and Scottish lawmakers to set the Libyan terrorist free. Megrahi was sentenced to life in prison in 2001, but released last year when doctors said he had only three months to live before dying of cancer. A doctor now says he could live a decade, according to the Associated Press. The senator wants to know whether the bomber's release was connected to a BP plan to drill for oil off Libya, which the senator says could earn the company up to $20 billion.

The Homegrown Terror Threat by Daveed Gartenstein-Ross
Homegrown terrorism has been much discussed on cable news channels and the op-ed pages of major newspapers in recent months. The attention is unsurprising. After all, 2009 saw more homegrown terrorist activity in the U.S. than any other year since the 9/11 attacks, and the phenomenon continues to threaten the country in the new year.
In contrast to 9/11, when all 19 hijackers entered the country from outside the United States, homegrown terrorist attacks are perpetrated by individuals who were either born or raised in the West. There were at least 11 such cases last year, including Nidal Hasan's shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, another deadly shooting by an Islamic extremist at a National Guard recruiting station in Little Rock, Arkansas, and plots uncovered in Dallas, North Carolina, and the Bronx. These and other examples prompted CNN's esteemed terrorism analyst, Peter Bergen, to say in December 2009 that when it comes to homegrown terrorism, "there is no denying it is increasing."
A Long Line of Precedents
Some commentary on the new rash of terrorism cases takes a rather ahistorical perspective. Homegrown jihadist terrorism is, in fact, not new: there were prominent cases even before the September 11 attacks. In July 1980, for example, an African-American convert to Islam named Dawud Salahuddin (born David Belfield) donned a mailman's uniform and brought two special-delivery packages to the home of Akbar Tabatabai, an outspoken foe of Iran's new theocratic regime. One package was filled with newspapers, while he grasped a pistol inside the other. Salahuddin shot and killed Tabatabai, then fled to Iran—remarkably clearing customs in Geneva even though the FBI had by then identified him as the shooter.

Nebraska Council OKs Ban on Hiring Illegal Immigrants
FREMONT, Neb. (AP) — The Freemont City Council in eastern Nebraska has adopted a voter-approved ban on hiring or renting homes to illegal immigrants.
Council members didn't discuss the ban before unanimously approving it Tuesday night.
The policy could take effect in about two weeks, but the American Civil Liberties Union has promised a lawsuit. Voters approved the measure last month.
Opponents say the plan is rooted in racism, but supporters say the ban is about people living in the U.S. illegally.
The ban requires city officials and employers to ensure that job and housing applicants are legally in the country. It was modeled after an ordinance in Hazelton, Pa., where the law has been tied up in legal challenges since it was approved in 2006.

In Wake of Reid Announcement that “Energy” and “Climate” Bill We Ran Week of July 26, Host of Senators Scurry into Corner to Plan Their Way In. E&E News (7/14, subs. req’d) reports, “The architects behind this year's sweeping Senate energy and climate proposal are working overtime to round up support for a slimmed-down version of their bill that would curb emissions from only the electric utility sector. Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) had previously conceded that they would be willing to scale back their goal of an economy-wide price on carbon, and the pair are now ramping up efforts to take the lead in making such a utility-only bill a reality. A draft proposal from the duo surfaced yesterday shortly after Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) announced his plans to address emissions from power plants as part of a larger energy bill later this month. Meanwhile, Kerry worked late into the evening to try to drum up support from stakeholders off the Hill. The maneuvering comes as a number of senators are feverishly working to ensure that their priorities make the cut when Reid unveils the final package. Reid provided a rough outline yesterday of what he plans to include in the four-part package: oil spill response, energy efficiency, clean energy production and efforts to slash greenhouse gases from power plants. That leaves Reid a lot of wiggle room to pick and choose which measures he will include in the final package, which he wants to send to the floor the week of July 26.

Silence on Incitement Is Tacit Support of Genocide, Says Expert
Dehumanization Demonization Delegitimation Double standards and Disinformation are tools of incitement
Expert on Genocide Prevention is worried about Israeli media's non response to PA and Hamas hate language, says incitement works.
Israel's government ignores the importance of Palestinian Authority anti-Israel incitement, which takes place in its institutions, electronic media, schools and mosques, claims Professor Eliyahu Richter, head of the Genocide Prevention Program at the Hebrew University's School for Public Health.
Richter is an expert on the subjects of hate language and incitement and their role in predicting and triggering genocide and genocidal terror. Recently, Richter and his colleagues published several papers showing the role of incitement as predictor of the Armenian genocide, the Holocaust, genocide in former Yugoslavia, Rwanda and the Muslim world, especially Iran. He has written that incitement to jihad-inspired genocide is at the core of the Arab-Jewish conflict.

Why We Should Care About Hizb ut-Tahrir in the United States by Madeleine Gruen
Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT), a radical Islamist group that is active in more than 45 countries, has one ultimate objective: to make Islam the global ruling system.
The U.S.-based branch, Hizb ut-Tahrir America (HTA), had hoped to spread that message last weekend during its second annual open conference outside Chicago. However, the group was forced to cancel after the Chicago Marriott Oak Brook backed out and HTA was unable to secure another venue. Despite this road block, HTA will persist because it will not want to appear defeated to its supporters or potential supporters; nor is it likely to back down from its ultimate mission. Furthermore, the conference was merely one aspect of the group's activities in the U.S.

Present Dangers: Saudi Arabia's House Of Cards Ilan Berman, FORBES
How stable is Saudi Arabia? Not very, according to at least one member of the Kingdom's ruling class. Last month Prince Turki bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud, a prominent dissident now in exile in Cairo, issued an open letter to his fellow royals, urging them to abandon their desert fiefdom for greener pastures. According to the prince, the current social compact between the House of Saud and its subjects had become untenable, with the government no longer able to "impose" its writ on the people and growing grassroots discontent at the royals "interfering in people's private life and restricting their liberties." His advice? That King Abdullah and his coterie flee the Kingdom before they are overthrown--and before their opponents "cut off our heads in streets."

Antioxidants improve cardiovascular health, say researchers
Long-term use of antioxidant supplements may provide health benefits for people with heart disease, according to a new study by Israeli scientists.
Researchers at Israel's Wolfson Medical Center carried out a study on 70 patients at the hospital's hypertension clinic, giving them either a placebo or a combination of vitamin C, vitamin E, coenzyme Q10 and selenium for six months.
The results, which were published in the journal, Nutrition and Metabolism, showed that patients who took the antioxidants saw a decrease in blood pressure, and a significant improvement in their glucose and lipid metabolism.
The researchers found that the antioxidant supplements increased the elasticity of the large and small arteries, sugar and fat metabolism, and blood pressure in high-risk patients.

Watch closely as John McCain staffer, Matt Ligouri, holds a video camera and tapes US Senate candidate, JD Hayworth, as he speaks to fellow Republicans in Legislative District 17.
Once the video taping has occurred, it will be handed off to and reviewed by a high level McCain staffer who determines if there is any usable content or expressions that can be used in an attack ad against JD Hayworth. The video is then handed off to Richard Sales who will transform it into something completely unrelated to the discussion that occurred at the meeting. Through the process of speeding up the tape, accentuating facial expressions, or enhancing color tones, McCain’s ad team hopes to produce something embarrassing to JD Hayworth that they can use to manipulate voters.

Isaiah 48:16
The Creator must also be the Redeemer. God's objective work of redemption must be made subjective in each person by the indwelling personal presence of the omnipresent Creator/Redeemer.
This wonderful revelation of the Godhead was foreshadowed in the very beginning--
the Father creating; the Spirit moving; the Son speaking (Genesis 1:1-3).
In our text above, again it is the Son (as the living Word of God)
prophesying about His coming mission of redemption,
saying that "the Lord God, and his Spirit, hath sent me."

New START and Obama’s Mysterious Trip to Russia BY CLIFF KINCAID
Other Senators are clearly not so excited about Obama’s foreign policy “experience” and dealings with the Russians.
When 2008 GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney attacked President Obama’s new arms treaty with Russia as a dangerous trap, Republican Senator Richard Lugar came to the defense of the Democratic president and attacked Romney as “misinformed.” But Lugar’s desperate effort to save Obama’s controversial treaty, whose passage has been badly damaged by revelations of Russian spying, doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Lugar, one of the leading globalists in the Senate, was a mentor for then-Senator Barack Obama during a controversial three-day visit they made to Russia and Eastern Europe in 2005.
During the visit, Russian authorities detained Obama and Lugar, threatened to search their plane, and examined their passports. Strangely, an official report from Lugar’s office about the trip ignored the incident.
Not only is Lugar very close to Obama, one of his key congressional staffers is Carl Meacham, who used to work for Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid.
The push for ratification of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START), which requires 67 votes for passage, has been complicated by the recent arrests—and quick release—of 10 Russian agents acting on behalf of the SVR, the Russian foreign intelligence service which serves as the successor to the old Soviet KGB. The Hill newspaper noted that court documents in the case demonstrated that agents “were asked by Moscow to collect information about the treaty” in advance of a 2009 trip by Obama to Russia, during which the new President “called on Moscow to stop viewing America as an adversary,” as the British publication the Guardian put it.
One document in the spy case reveals that Moscow had “requested information on the U.S. position with respect to a new Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty, Afghanistan, and Iran’s nuclear weapons program.” It said Russian agents were directed to obtain information on “[Russia] policy team members,” but the names of four Obama Administration officials who were targeted in this effort were deleted.

No American President should sign a treaty that projects weakness and undermines America’s national security. Yet, early this year, President Obama signed a treaty with the Russians, which undercuts our national security efforts.
Why the Death of Israel Wouldn't Slow Anti-U.S. Terrorism
A fairly dishonest discussion about the root causes of Islamist terrorism is being pushed with renewed vigor. It is based on the false claim that American support for Israel fuels the terrorism targeting us.
At best, this is academically dishonest, ignoring a laundry list of grievances that has been used to justify terrorism.
Yet, as Americans celebrated Independence Day, Thaddeus Russell took to the pages of the Daily Beast to argue just that. In an article titled, "Does Israel Make Us Safer?," Russell puts the issue bluntly:
"There was not a single act of Arab terrorism against Americans before 1968, when the U.S. became the chief supplier of military equipment and economic aid to Israel. In light of this fact, it's difficult to credibly sustain the argument that Arab terrorism is spawned by Islam's alleged promotion of violence and antipathy toward American culture or by a 'natural Arab anti-Semitism.'"
That's not exactly true, as others have pointed out. And it ignores the words terrorists themselves have used to explain their motivation.
A look at recent terror attempts finds American support for Israel nowhere in the picture. Instead, terrorists describe their belief that America is at war with Islam. They want to strike back, or to stop Americans from fighting Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq, or to punish them for having done so.

Daniel Greenfield article: A Special Relationship- Jews, America and Israel
Three months after Obama deliberately snubbed Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel was invited back to put on a good show of friendship before the midterm elections. There were smiles all around, reassuring sound bites and even some waving. The idea was to assure everyone that things were back to normal. At least until the mid-term elections delivers the Jewish vote. Just another cynical round in a very cynical administration.
The re-invitation was a concession that Obama's original approach of publicly attacking Israel in order to force concessions was not the best strategy. Not only did Obama fail to convince the American people that Israel had gravely insulted them by approving one stage of a housing project in its own capitol, while Joe Biden happened to be in town-- but the backlash that was generated even from some of his own supporters, such as Ed Koch, actually helped lower Obama's own poll numbers. But all the smiles and friendly waves don't mean that anything is fixed, it just means that the Clintonites have won the argument.

Obama Scoffs at Court Decison Issues Harsher Drilling Ban
The Interior Department first issued a broad drilling ban in May, which was challenged by several Gulf coast companies that service the drilling industry, and was struck down in June by U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman, who said it was not justified. Last week a Federal Appeals court upheld Judge Feldman's decision striking down the President’s ban.
Rather than continuing the appeals process to challenge the ruling through the judiciary as called for by the constitution, the president directed the Secretary of the Interior to re-impose the ban with different language as a way of getting around the judge’s order.
In Too Deep: Salazar “Shocks” Oil Spill Commission By Asking Panel for Assurance He’s Doing the Right Thing in Shilling for Obama Offshore Ban – Is He OK? Wall Street Journal “The really odd moment came when Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said in a statement that he was looking to the commission for information that could inform the administration’s position on halting deepwater drilling. Salazar’s statement stunned the commission’s two co-chairmen, William K. Reilly and Bob Graham, who said they had been assured by Salazar’s office and the White House that giving advice on the moratorium wasn’t their job. “We’re 10 minutes old,” Reilly told an audience in New Orleans, where the commission held its first hearing. “The idea we’d have a near-term responsibility to make recommendations on policy was not our understanding [of the panel’s mission] and is not consistent with my most recent conversation with [Interior Deputy Secretary] David Hayes, who said the Interior Department didn’t look to this commision for advice” on the matter. Graham, speaking to reporters after the hearing, said he too was “confused” by Salazar’s statement. He said he and Reilly plan to go back to the Interior Department “to try to clarify what is our responsibility and how we’re going to carry it out.”

Group to oppose President Obama's Mideast policy By BEN SMITH
Leading conservatives will launch a new pro-Israel group this week with a scathing attack on Rep. Joe Sestak, the Democratic Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, the first shot in what they say will be a confrontational campaign against the Obama administration’s Mideast policy and the Democrats who support it.
The Emergency Committee for Israel’s Leadership unites two major strands of support for the Jewish state: The hawkish, neoconservative wing of the Republican Party, many of whom are Jewish, and conservative Evangelical Christians who have become increasingly outspoken in their support for Israel. The new group’s board includes Weekly Standard Editor William Kristol and Gary Bauer, the former Republican presidential candidate who leads the group American Values, as well as Rachel Abrams, a conservative writer and activist.
“We’re the pro-Israel wing of the pro-Israel community,” said Kristol.

Terrorizing Muslim Women Nonie Darwish
There is an article floating all over the Internet, “Joys of Muslim Women,” which discusses the horrific truth about how Islam legally treats women. The article claims to have been written by me, but that is false: I am not the author. Let me use this occasion, however, to set a few matters straight:
The silence is deafening around the world in regards to the inhumanity and brutality of Sharia towards women. Most of the activism against stoning, flogging and abuse of women under Sharia is heard from former Muslim women, like myself, and a few others in the West who dare to expose the truth.
Muslim women have no choice but to abide by Sharia, since rejecting it is grounds for the charge of apostasy, punishable by death. Having been exposed to Sharia for centuries, Muslim women have learned convoluted coping mechanisms to avoid Sharia’s wrath. Engaging in their own form of Stockholm Syndrome, most Muslim women publicly defend the very laws that enslave them. Even Obama’s advisor on Islamic affairs, Dalia Mujahed, stated that Sharia is “misunderstood.” Muslim women end up as the guardians of their own jails. It is women who often report younger girls who refuse to wear the head cover, and some wives cover up for the honor killing of a daughter by their husband or son. Many have accepted their inferior status and wear it as a badge of honor.
ISLAM: What Is To Be Done? by Hugh Fitzgerald
The following is an expanded version of the speech Mr. Fitzgerald delivered to the New English Review Symposium on June 19, 2010.
....... I reviewed with you the twin follies of Iraq and Afghanistan, and suggested that the best way to contain Islam was not to invade, not to conquer, not to try to win Muslim hearts or minds, but simply to take the doctrines of Islam seriously, and to understand that they cannot be reinterpreted away, and so we should act to defend ourselves, and in defending ourselves to husband our resources, by exploiting, cleverly and relentlessly, the pre-existing fissures – sectarian, ethnic,and economic – within the world of Islam, with special attention to disseminating among the 80% of the world’s Muslims who are not Arabs that Islam, despite its universalist claims, is – as Anwar Shaikh called it – “the Arab national religion.” It is not hard to show all the ways in which the practices that Islam reinforce the use of Islam as a vehicle for Arab supremacism. That should be a major theme in the exploitation of those identifiable fissures I have discussed.
And the second point I wished to make is that if we study Islam, we begin to understand all the ways that Islam itself explains the failures of Muslim societies, and that the explanations of those political, economic, social, intellectual, and moral failures are no convincing, and so impossible to rebut, that once stated, and re-stated, and re-stated, by Infidels, speaking among themselves, Muslims will overhear the discussion, and be forced to respond, and will be unable to do so convincingly.

The "NEW" War That Could Rocket Oil Past $220 Before 2011 by Byron King, Editor
The Murder That's About To Change The World... (scroll down to article)
Nobody could have known that the dinner they were about to eat would one day change history. Some say it was goat. Others say it was lamb. Either way, it was poisoned. And the guest of honor was Mohammed, controversial founder of Islam. It was just one bite, that's all it took. He tasted the poison and immediately spit it out. But it was too late. He would soon die as a result, sparking a bitter and deadly divide.
After Mohammed was gone, nobody could agree about who should take over Islam. And they've been killing each other for that reason ever since.
On the one side of the fight, you've got the Sunni Muslims. They're the ones that run Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, and many of the other countries in the Middle East. On the other, you've got the Shia Muslims. It's the Shia that run Iran. They also now run Iraq. As well as Lebanon and Syria. How bloody is this centuries-old battle?
Think Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland... Serbs vs. Croats in Bosnia... or even the religious Thirty Years War that ripped apart Europe in the 16th century.
Only this Sunni-Shia split has built up pressure now for the last 1,354 years.
But it's only now that this pressure has found its ultimate release ” With Iran driving a new Shia uprising smack dab in the middle of the most dangerous place on Earth the oil-soaked Middle East.

BIBLE & CREATION
The "Hypocrisy" of the Pharisees Another Excellent article from Jerusalem Perspective!!
Many Christians assume the Pharisees were Jesus’ opponents. A viewer of a Jerusalem Perspective video clip on YouTube commented: How can you be so positive in your assessment of the Pharisees? Remember that Jesus was pleased with the kneeling prayer of the tax collector and rebuked the prideful prayer of the Pharisee (Luke 18:10-14). He also told us not to address anyone as “Rabbi”; we have only one teacher. And finally, Jesus consistently called the Pharisees a “brood of vipers” (Matt 12:34; 23:23) and said that “they have already received their reward” (Matt 6:2, 5, 16).
Without reading the Scriptures carefully, and without a familiarity with Second Temple-period extra-biblical sources, a simple reader of the New Testament might assume that a majority of the Pharisees were hypocrites and that the Pharisees as a movement were indeed a “brood of vipers.” As a result of this common Christian assumption, the word “Pharisee” has become a synonym for “hypocrite” in the English language.
However, this widespread Christian misreading of the New Testament is a terrible mistake, which, in the course of the last two millennia, often has resulted in appalling consequences for the Jewish community.
THE LEFT - OUT NEWS
Daniel Greenfield article: The Way of the Cuckoo MUST READ!!!
The common cuckoo has a very simple reproductive strategy. It lays its eggs in the nests of other birds, which then drive out the chicks of that bird's own species. Instead the bird raises the cuckoo's young as its own. The name for this sort of behavior is brood parasitism. Which is a name that we should be very familiar with as our society has fallen victim to it.
Take the case of Arizona. Or so many other US states which are going bankrupt trying to cover the health care and services of illegal aliens and other members of the Democratic party base. Then think about the small bird on the side trying to feed the massive young of another species, who has already murdered its own children. Or consider Europe, where the cuckoo's eggs of the Muslim world are hatching with the full benefits of a socialist system paid for by the very generation most directly victimized by them.
This is the Way of the Cuckoo. It is the way of the Muslim world, whose social stratification and heavy corruption leads to societies with limited room for advancement, even as its population continues to boom thanks to Western medicine and Islamic religion. The Muslim world exports that population to the West, where taxpayers fund their reproduction and raise their young. Only to have those same young murder them. And much like the cuckoo's victims, rather than learn our lesson, we just keep repeating the process over and over again.

PRESIDENT OBAMA IS A CULTURAL MUSLIM By Jeffrey T. Kuhner

I could feel the tears in my own eyes. The song pulled at the heartstrings of every member of our family. But not everyone in the crowd felt that way. Not everyone is moved by the ring of freedom.
Frank Gaffney: Disastrously 'Transforming' Defense
Barack Obama came to office promising to "fundamentally transform" America. As President, he has done so with most obvious and dramatic effect in the government's take-over of more and more of the private sector of the U.S. economy. Almost entirely lost in the hue-and-cry precipitated by such actions as the stimulus bill, ObamaCare, student loans and financial "reform," however, are Obama initiatives that threaten an arguably even more momentous transformation: Changing the United States from "the world's sole superpower" to a nation that may require the permission, or at least the help, of others to project power and defend its interests around the globe.
The backbone of America's power-projection capability is its ability to get to a fight "the firstest with the mostest." In today's world, that requires two things: airlift and aerial refueling. Currently, the United States has an unmatched ability rapidly to move heavy military equipment by air around the world. But a mainstay of our airlift fleet is made up of the 59 C-5As that are over 40 years old. Twenty-two of these huge planes are expected to be retired in the near future. At present, it seems likely the rest will soon follow as they become prohibitively costly to maintain and operate.
The only American candidate for replacing the loss in rapid transport capacity associated with sending the C-5As to the boneyard is the C-17, a substantially smaller but modern and highly capable strategic airlifter. Unfortunately, the Obama administration is determined to prevent Congress from approving any more production of C-17s under threat of veto if lawmakers do as they have in the past and put in unrequested funds for additional airlifters.
BigPeace: From Russia, With Love
So, Team Obama has pulled another Christmas Day bomber hash-up. Recall how, in the case of Umar Farouq Abdulmuttalab, after a grand total of fifty minutes of interrogation by the law enforcement folks who could be scared up in Detroit on that holiday, he was allowed to lawyer up.
Flash forward to the news just in: Within five days of rounding up ten of eleven individuals the FBI had under surveillance for ten years in connection with a KGB (sorry, the new name is FSB) covert influence operation, they are all being sent back to Mother Russia. In that respect, the Obama administration actually handled the Abdulmuttalab’s case somewhat better; at last check, he’s still in federal custody – presumably, awaiting a prisoner exchange with al Qaeda.
No wait, al Qaeda doesn’t have any U.S. prisoners. But then, it is not clear Russia has any U.S. spies in custody, either.
I ask again, if he signs an Amnesty bill in, will he be legal?

We believe The Democratic National Committee (DNC) made a grave error by depriving American voters of their choice of Hillary Clinton as Democratic nominee. Senator Clinton, by all accounts, except caucuses, won the Primary Election and, therefore, should be the 2008 Democratic Nominee. That didn't happen, due largely to illegitimate and illegal acts. We have interviews of many accounts from caucus states recounting threats, intimidation, lies, stolen documents, falsified documents, busing in voters in exchange for paying for "dinners," etc. There are at least 2000 complaints, in Texas alone, of irregularities directed towards the Obama Campaign, that have lead to a very fractured and broken Democratic Party.
This documentary is about the disenfranchising of American citizens by the Democratic Party and the Obama Campaign. We the People have made this film. Democrats have sent in their stories from all parts of America. We want to be heard and let the country know how our party has sanctioned the actions of what we feel are Obama Campaign "Chicago Machine" dirty politics. We believe this infamous campaign of "change" from Chicago encouraged and created an army to steal caucus packets, falsify documents, change results, allow unregistered people to vote, scare and intimidate Hillary supporters, stalk them, threaten them, lock them out of their polling places, silence their voices and stop their right to vote, which is, of course, all documented in "We Will Not Be Silenced."
Challenged! Court using 'feelings' as case decider By Bob Unruh
A district judge's decision that the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional is being challenged on the argument, submitted in friend-of-the-court briefs to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, that never before has any court decided that "hurt feelings" are grounds for making a claim.
"The district court in this case embraced an entirely novel – and improper – basis for standing: hurt feelings," said the brief submitted by the American Center for Law and Justice. "Never has the Supreme Court endorsed anything like such a wide-open concept of access to federal adjudication.
"Indeed, to the extent the Supreme Court has addressed the issue at all, it has firmly repudiated such limitless theories of Article III standing," the brief continued.
Col. Thomas Moe Testifies about Kagan's Treatment of Military at Harvard video
Col. Moe, a Vietnam POW who was in the Hanoi Hilton with John McCain, today suggested that Dean Kagan's opposition to "Don't Ask Don't Tell" manifested itself only in ways that were politically convenient. Col Moe said that "her principles did not seem to come into play in 2007, when President Clinton -- a sponsor of 'don't ask, don't tell' -- spoke at Harvard's commencement."
What's In a Name: Obama Can't Figure Out (Or Pretends He Can't) Why He Worries Israelis By Barry Rubin
President Barack Obama insulted Israelis by saying they might distrust him because his middle name is Hussein. It's a small detail but one that shows far more than even critical observers understand.
One reason why all of this is so important is that what a leader or politician says today is only for today. To explain behavior, to understand what's likely to happen in future, you have to go beyond the words and posturing. (By the way, here's a serious analysis of the Obama-Netanyahu meeting.)
First, let's remember that Obama's first name is Barack, which is as much of Semitic language derivation as Hussein. Of course, that first name is found in Hebrew as well as Arabic. After all, Israel's defense minister is Ehud Barak and my Hebrew name sound the same though there are two different roots involved, while Hussein is more distinctively Arabic. But still, Obama's lack of awareness about the implications of his own name doesn't indicate a great depth of knowledge about the Middle East.
Second, Obama was initially--when he had the same name as he does now--quite popular in Israel as polls show. Only when he evinced hostility did the attitude of Israelis change sharply. ...........
By the way, note that the Los Angeles Times has still not released the video of Obama speaking at a Palestinian meeting. Why not? Surely if his speech was so banal there would be no reason to withhold that evidence. We know about Reverend Wright and a lot more as well. But if the policy in the White House had been different, no one would be dwelling on that now.
Detroit - US Muslim Capital - Mourns Fadlallah, 'A Man of Peace' by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
Muslims in Detroit and adjacent Dearborn, Michigan, which is considered the “Islamic capital” of the United States, have mourned Hizbullah spiritual leader Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah for six days and nights, since early last week.
One-third of the population of Dearborn is estimated to be Muslim, the largest proportion of Muslims in a city of its size outside of the Middle East. Although New York and California both host more Muslims, Michigan has the highest concentration of Muslims in the United States.

A Challenge to Prime Minister Netanyahu* Paul Eidelberg
It is absolutely self-demeaning as well as an insult to the 5,726,000 Jews for Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to demand that terrorist chief Mahmoud Abbas recognize Israel as a Jewish state.
Was there no one in the Knesset with enough Jewish pride to submit a vote of no-confidence in Netanyahu's ignominious government?
Can any person who has not been deceived and degraded by seventeen years—nay, thirty-three years—of the official mendacity conveyed in the "peace process" fail to see the demoralization and emasculation of Israel?
Ponder this statement of Winston Churchill: "The worst thing a leader can do is arouse false hopes, soon to be dashed." Has this not been the soporific of one Israeli prime minister after another since Menachem Begin, but brought to its apogee by Mr. Netanyahu? Aren't you tired and disgusted with his drivel about an economic solution to Israel's conflict with the Muslim Palestinians? What an insult to Islam!
Isn't there a single person in the Knesset with enough courage and enough understanding of Islam to say that Islamic theology makes peace impossible?
I say impossible because Islam posits a deity of pure will or absolute power in contradistinction to the Jewish and Christian theology that God is reason. Islamic theology that inevitably leads to the primacy of force, hence to the murder of "infidels."
I say Impossible because Islamic theology necessarily regards the Genesis conception of man's creation in the image of God as sheer blasphemy—because reason limit Allah's absolute power.
Isn't it obvious, Mr. Netanyahu, that, given Islam's irrational theology, which induces Muslims to love death more than life—isn't it obvious, Mr. Netanyahu, that negotiations with Mahmoud Abbas is futile as well as fatal?
I challenge you to address this theological dilemma. I challenge you to recognize that, given the irrationality of Islamic theology, genuine and abiding peace between Jews and Muslims is impossible.
Fifth Anniversary of Ongoing Gush Katif Tragedy to be Marked by Hillel Fendel
The fifth anniversary of one of the worst tragedies in the history of the State of Israel will be marked this week at Kissufim and elsewhere in Israel and around the world.
This Wednesday, the 3rd of the Jewish month of Av, will kick off the fifth anniversary commemorations of Israel’s unilateral withdrawal from Gaza and some areas in northern Samaria. It resulted in expulsion, loss of employment, wandering and uncertainty for thousands of Jews over the course of the ensuing five years – and counting.
1,800 families (8,800 people) were expelled and uprooted, 25 communities and 400 farms were destroyed, 26 synagogues were demolished, hundreds of businesses were liquidated, and 35 years of accomplishments were wiped out.

Fadlallah's last request before his death was that "the Zionist entity should pass from the world," according to the official PA daily newspaper.
Egypt Versus Gaza By Barry Rubin
There is a bit of silver lining, even in the Gaza cloud. It’s this: the Egyptian government, aware that the West won’t help it get rid of the revolutionary Islamist regime there, that Israel cannot do it, and that Hamas won’t voluntarily accept subordination to the Palestinian Authority, now understands it has to protect itself from that threat.
For Egypt, the threat is multiple. Most directly, Hamas is a close ally to Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, a group that wants to overturn the nationalist regime and give Egypt an Islamist state that would enjoy all the blessings of Iran and Taliban Afghanistan. In or after their revolution, the Egyptian elite would be murdered and all of its property confiscated.
A second threat to Egypt comes from the fact that Hamas is an Iranian client. The days are long gone when Egypt could credibly present itself as the leader of the Arab world and the trend-setter for the region, but it still has a real national interest in what happens elsewhere in the area.
The Forgotten Minority By Jonathan Spyer *
On March 21, 2010, the Syrian security forces opened fire with live ammunition on a crowd of 5,000 in the northern Syrian town of al-Raqqah. The crowd had gathered to celebrate the Kurdish festival of Nowruz. Three people, including a 15-year-old girl, were killed. Over 50 were injured. Dozens of injured civilians were held incommunicado by the authorities following the events. Some remain incarcerated. This incident was just one example of the repression taking place of the largest national minority in Syria - namely, the Syrian Kurdish population.
Kurds constitute 9 percent-10% of the population of Syria - that is, around 1.75 million in a total population of 22 million. Since the rise of militant Arab nationalism to power in Damascus, they have faced an ongoing campaign for their dissolution as a community.
All this is taking place far from the spotlight of world attention. The current US Administration pursues a general policy of considered silence on the issue of human rights in Middle East countries. The Syrian regime remains the elusive subject of energetic courting by the European Union and by Washington.
As a result, the Kurds of Syria are likely for the foreseeable future to remain the region's forgotten minority.
PA Intelligence Agent: Hamas and Fatah Plotting to Kill Fayyad by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

Dear Helen: From One American Lebanese Journalist To another… by Brigitte Gabriel
Dear Helen Thomas:
With a great deal of disappointment I watched your interview, replayed over and over on television, in which you said that Jews should “go back home to Poland and Germany.” I find it both appalling and unsettling that someone with your level of journalistic accomplishment would lack a basic knowledge of Middle Eastern history.
So please allow me to make the case as to why Israel has a historical, legal and moral right to exist as a Jewish state in the Middle East.
According to the Arab-Palestinian-Muslim narrative, Israel is an alien colony recently planted in the Arab world by American and European imperialism. This narrative recognizes no history prior to the arrival of the first Zionist pioneers in the 1880’s, and emphatically denies any ancient historical connection of the Jewish people to the land of Israel. This is the central lie, offered to justify uncompromising opposition to Jewish national rights. It’s almost as if they actually expect people to think the word “Israel” was invented in modern times. What is alarming is that their increasingly successful rewrite of history has taken hold in minds supposedly as informed as yours.
The historical truth is carved in Egyptian stone. According to a well-known hieroglyphic inscription, the tribes of Israel were a significant, established presence in Canaan no later than 1212 BCE. There is a vast body of archaeological evidence that demonstrates the ancient Israelite/Jewish presence in Israel/Judea as far back as 925 BCE. This historical presence is verified in the ancient records of the Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Moslem Empires. The Arab conquest did not occur until 638 CE (AD). An exercise in elementary arithmetic reveals that the Jewish people were there eighteen and one-half centuries before the arrival of the Muslim Arabs.
Despite being conquered many times, the Jewish people have had a constant, uninterrupted presence in the Land of Israel for over thirty centuries. The Arabs and Islam have been there less than fourteen centuries. It has conveniently been forgotten that the Jews and Christians were there first.
Furthermore, in the thirty centuries preceding the re-establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, there have been only two periods when there was an independent, internationally recognized state in the area that now comprises Israel. Both of them were Jewish states. Even when this land was part of the Arab empire (638 CE/AD through 1099 CE/AD), there was never an independent Arab state in “Palestine,” by that name or any other.
No wonder Arabs are donating millions of dollars to U.S. colleges for Middle Eastern schools of study. They have a lot of hard historical evidence to rewrite in the young minds of students, most of whom enter college with little or no knowledge of ancient Middle Eastern history.
The Jewish people have a distinct national identity. Religion is only one of the unique characteristics that defines this national identity. In addition, the Jewish people have a separate and distinct language, culture and customs, with a documented history of development over the past three thousand years. The Jewish people have created a vast body of art and literature, both secular and religious, which reflects the connection of the Jewish people to the land of Israel.
The Dead Sea Scrolls, written when the descendents of the Maccabees ruled an independent Judea, demonstrate that the Jewish people, both in the Holy Land and in exile all over the world, have been reading and writing secular and sectarian literature in the same distinct language for over two thousand years.
In contrast, the Arabic language and culture and the Muslim religion of the Palestinians are essentially indistinguishable from the wider Arab world. Prior to the mid 1800’s there is no trace whatsoever of uniquely “Palestinian” art, literature, music, or any other manifestation of a distinct culture. If you find this hard to believe, try to think of one “Palestinian” book, or author, or artist, from the year 1300 through the year 1800. That’s a period of 500 years.
There must be one book written by a “Palestinian” Arab author. There must be one painting by a “Palestinian” Arab artist. Guess what? There are none.
If you still don’t believe it, ask a Palestinian nationalist or a Columbia University professor of Middle Eastern history to name one. The most honest response you will get is silence. The most likely response you will get is a lie.
People can propagate lies but they cannot erase historical facts. For more historical facts about the Palestinians and how they destroyed your own country of heritage, Lebanon, and how the Israelis helped and protected the Christians during the war, I invite you to pick up a copy of my New York Times bestseller Because They Hate. It’s never too late to learn and catch up on history, even at 90.

Still Another "Moderation of Palestinian Leadership" Hoax By Barry Rubin
Doesn't the West ever learn?
Step 1: Al-Hayat reports that Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas offers to give Israel the Jewish Quarter of the Old City in Jerusalem and the Western Wall of the Jewish Temple to Israel in a peace agreement.
Step 2: Media covers this extensively as great concession and proof that the Palestinian Authority wants peace.
Step 3: PA spokesman denies it.
And I happen to know for a fact that this story wasn't true.
Over and over and over and over and over again.
PA prime minister Salam Fayad says Jewish settlers welcome to stay in Palestinian state. This contradicted every statement the PA and its leaders ever made. Media coverage. Denial.
A lone Palestinian whom nobody knows claims Israel committed massacre in Jenin. Media goes wild though there's no proof. UN disproves allegation. (Some still believe it.)
PA parliament stages hoax, holding a session during broad daylight with curtains closed to "prove" Israel has shut off power. Shown to be false.
Multiple examples of altered photographs, false atrocity stories, etc.
Would it be beneficial if I listed a hundred such examples? Many of these are deliberately engineered, usually to claim falsely Israel has commited some crime, more rarely to exaggerate Arab or Palestinian moderation.
Remember that reporters demand daily that the Israeli government prove that it didn't do something or other. Either there's no time to look into the issue, meaning there is no denial or disproof, or a lot of effort is put into disproving the lies, which takes up the energy of a limited staff and, by the time an authoritative answer is documented, the media ignores it any way.
Please, people, let's learn from experience. Of course, many reporters won't because they are ideologically and politically determined to produce anti-Israel propaganda (you know who you are) though many others do try to do their best but all too often get fooled (you know who you are).
And thanks to those who don't get fooled.
Obama Administration is Sabotaging Defense of Marriage Act
In his decision declaring section 3 of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional, Judge Tauro characterizes Congress’s decision to define marriage for federal purposes as between one man and one woman as an “irrational” desire to “punish[]” same-sex couples based solely on “animus.” While Judge Tauro’s conclusions are unfounded, far-reaching, and should be reversed on appeal, even more shocking is the fact that the Obama administration is intentionally sabotaging DOMA.
President Obama has been actively promoting an agenda to undermine the nation’s marriage laws. When you weaken the family, as President Obama is doing by his policies, you weaken society. Children fare best when raised with a mom and a dad. Redefining marriage to something it was not intended to be weakens the family and is not in the best interest of children or society. President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder must defend the nation’s marriage laws. The Obama administration must defend DOMA, not sabotage the law.

It turns out that one of the most widely publicised statements in the 2007 report of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – a claim on which tens of billions of dollars could hang – was not based on peer-reviewed science, as repeatedly claimed, but originated solely from anonymous propaganda published on the website of a small Brazilian environmental advocacy group

Peace, what peace?! With whom? Nurit Greenger
This week Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin 'Bibi' Netanyahu visited with Obama in the White House oval office and the cameras did not stop rolling. From there Bibi went on to deliver a series of speeches, in each he stated that Israel wants peace, real peace, no more war. He called on the Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas to agree to conduct direct talks in Jerusalem, in Ramallah anywhere, to discuss the serious issues that must be negotiated between the two sides.
While Bibi was away from home, minutes away from the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, Abbas opened his mouth to tell the world where his head is at when it comes to real peace with Israel and how much he really wants to achieve this peace: according to the PA daily Al-Hayat al-Jadida, as translated by Palestinian Media Watch, Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas told Arab leaders that the PA is ready to wage war on Israel if the rest of the Arab world does.
“If you want war, and if all of you will fight Israel, we are in favor. But the Palestinians will not fight alone because they don't have the ability to do it,” Abbas quoted himself as having said at the March Arab League Summit in Libya.
Netanyahu spoke much about being true to the facts. Indeed it is time for true reassessment. The forked tongue Abbas wants peace as much as Israel wants war!
Defending Israel takes more than hugs
THE WASHINGTON TIMES PUBLISHED THIS GREAT ARTICLE BY MIKE PENCE AND GARY BAUER.
[..]Time and time again, the pattern is the same. The world is being sent a clear and unmistakable signal: This administration will not stand with Israel against the circling vultures. The Obama administration’s policies are undermining our ally, emboldening Israel’s enemies and making a Middle East war more, not less, likely. By endangering Israeli security, Mr. Obama is also making America less safe. Our alliance with Israel is not a liability; it is an asset. Together with other free nations, we are defending our shared values.
A group of respected world leaders and academic figures, including former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar and former Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo, met in Paris recently. They boldly asserted, “There is no West without Israel.” They are right. Israel is the “tip of the spear” of Western democratic values in a dangerous neighborhood of thugs, jihadists and dictators. The weakening of the Israeli nation does not help America. It puts us more at risk. Undermining a 62-year alliance with Israel doesn’t win friends for the U.S. – it makes every nation question the value of aligning with America. After all, if America will break with its most cherished ally, what other nation could rely on our promises?[..]

CALL YOUR SENATORS! SAY NO TO KAGAN!
More than a decade ago, Elena Kagan manipulated expert medical evidence submitted to the Supreme Court.
What she did played a key role in the Supreme Court's decision to strike down the ban on the horrendous partial-birth abortion procedure. She did it for political reasons while working for the Clinton administration.
The Washington Times says Kagan "may be more responsible than anyone for keeping partial-birth abortion legal for an extra decade." Pause for a moment to think about that.
In part because of Elena Kagan's political activism, this horrific abortion procedure - which amounts to infanticide and culminates with a near full-term baby's brains being sucked out so the skull will collapse - continued to be performed across this country. Elena Kagan's "handwritten notes" show that she personally
re-wrote the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' (ACOG) official assessment of partial-birth abortion to better comport with her political views on abortion.
Seventeen Indicators Showing The Economy is About to Collapse
President Obama and his administration has been traveling the country trying to pass along the message to voters about how effective their $787 (now $825 billion+) recovery plan has been. They are calling the effort an effort “recovery summer.” Perhaps a better name for it would be the Economy's a Bummer. In fact the real story is the stream of bad news saying the economy is heading for a double-dip recession, not a recovery.
Actually things may not be pointing to a recession but worse, a depression. Here are seventeen indications that the economy is about to go from bad to worse:
Biggest revolution in the NHS for 60 years By Andrew Porter
Doctors are to be given sole responsibility for overseeing front-line care to patients under Coalition plans described as the biggest revolution in the NHS since its foundation 60 years ago.
About £80billion will be distributed to family GPs in a move that will see strategic health authorities and primary care trusts scrapped.
The plan, contained in a white paper to be published next week, is designed to place key decisions about how patients are cared for in the hands of doctors who know them. Tens of thousands of administrative jobs in the health service will be lost as a result.
At present, funds are given by the Government to primary care trusts, which pay for patients from their area to be treated in hospital.
Under these plans, GPs — who are currently not responsible for paying for hospital referrals — would receive the money instead and pay the hospitals directly.
The change will be compulsory.
The Coalition hopes the new system will be less bureaucratic and give doctors and patients more control over treatment. GPs will also have to organise out-of-hours services, which may see family doctors offering 24-hour care once again.
Muslim Enclaves U.S.A. Ryan Mauro MUST READ!!!
It seems almost unthinkable, but Islamist groups are, as we speak, hard at work creating Muslim states-within-states in the U.S. Indeed, this process has been unfolding for a long time across the Western world, through the creation of isolated Muslim enclaves in both rural and urban areas, as well as through the designation of “no-go zones” where governments admit to having little authority over Muslims living there, essentially leaving them to function as autonomous regions.
Daniel Pipes has tracked numerous examples since 2004 of Muslim groups working to create communities based solely on Islam and run by Sharia law. As discussed by David Kennedy Houck in 2006, “Although such concepts are antithetical to a free society, U.S. democracy allows the internal enclave to function beyond the established boundaries of our constitutional framework.”
For example, one such community, Gwynn Oak, has been created in Baltimore, Maryland, consisting of Muslim immigrants and African-American converts. The project is led by John Yahya Cason, director of the Islamic Education and Community Development Initiative. Cason explained that the neighborhood is a response to the problem that “Muslim communities are ruled by Western societal tenets, many of which clash with Islamic norms.” In his opinion, there is a need for communities with “the totality of the essential components of Muslim social, economic, and political structure.” As such, the Gwynn Oak enclave follows specific moral rules based on Islam and people there speak Arabic. On September 13, 2009, the construction of its three-story mosque began. Approximately 400 Muslims now live in the vicinity.
Another example involves the Islamic Center for Human Excellence, which receives funding from the United Arab Emirates. In August 2004, it was granted permission to build a Muslim neighborhood in Little Rock, Arkansas, complete with a mosque, school, and 22 homes; it would not allow the presence of alcohol. The goal was for Muslims to find an area to escape the alleged crime and depravity of American life, although the imam behind the effort said that non-Muslims are welcome to join.
Far more radical groups than these are now taking the lead in promoting and creating Islamic enclaves on U.S. soil. .....

Lawyer Who Defended 'American Taliban' Now Heads DOJ Suit Against Arizona
The federal prosecutor tasked with quarterbacking the Obama administration's high-profile case against Arizona's immigration law is no stranger to controversy or the limelight.
Justice Department attorney Tony West is a member of the so-called "Gitmo 9" -- a group of lawyers who have represented terror suspects.
West, the assistant attorney general for the department's Civil Division, once represented "American Taliban" John Walker Lindh, a controversial move that West feared would derail his political ambitions and helped delay his nomination to the department for three months in 2009.

Senate-seeker wants Obama birth-certificate treatment By Chelsea Schilling

A Mexican-born candidate for U.S. Senate said he is considering a lawsuit against the Missouri secretary of state for discrimination because her office forced him to produce a birth certificate but "didn't make Obama show proof of citizenship" to appear on the ballot.
Hector Maldonado, 38, a self-described "Lincolnian Republican conservative," is seeking the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Missouri. He was born one of 10 children in Durango, Mexico. His father is a migrant field worker who owns a small hog ranch in Perris, Calif.

Karl Rove on Black Panther Case: White House 'Thumbing Its Nose' at Voter Rights
New Black Panther Party President Admits to Philadelphia Voter Intimidation; Holder’s Justice Department Still Silent by Larry O'Connor
“You know we don’t carry batons…. PSYCHE! Heh heh heh… I’m just playin’” – Malik Zulu Shabazz, Preident of The New Black Panther Party.
The Justice Department has seen fit to drop voter intimidation charges against Malik Shabazz’ New Black Panther Party’s involvement in the now infamous events at a polling place in Philadelphia on November 4, 2008. In light of the recent testimony by former DOJ attorney J. Christian Adams before the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, the story is gaining further attention and scrutiny.
Now, Breitbart.tv is featuring a newly discovered video showing Shabazz boasting about his organizations intentions that day in Philadelphia.
“There were strong intelligence indicators that there was going to be some trouble at the polls and we wanted to make sure the police were not harassing our people so we wanted to go out and do what we could. It’s just that sometimes the New Black Panther Party, sometimes, whatever we do we just tend to do it kinda strong.”
Finally, Shabazz instructs his disciples that as soon as a “Black man” took over the Justice Department the charges were thrown out.
Malik Shabazz incriminates himself in black panther case video in above article
Admits he knows NBPP members carry batons and that there was an organized effort by NBPP to put members at polling locations.
How Obama Used an Army of Thugs to Steal the 2008 Democratic Party Nomination By Fred Dardick
Think those billy club armed New Black Panther thugs in Philadelphia were the first time Obama used Stalinist tactics to intimidate voters and disenfranchise the American people?
Think again.
In testimony this week before Congress, former Justice Department Official J. Christian Adams revealed that not only were similar claims “pervasive”, but Obama activists committed the “same” crimes during the 2008 Democratic primary to help then Sen. Obama defeat Democratic heir apparent Hillary Clinton.

Jindal Agrees to Allow Concealed Guns in Church
BATON ROUGE, La. - Gov. Bobby Jindal has agreed to allow concealed handguns inside Louisiana's churches.
Churches, synagogues and mosques choosing to allow concealed carry will have to inform their congregations of the decision. Anyone wishing to carry a concealed weapon in a church will have to take an extra eight hours of tactical training each year.
Jindal signed the bill by Republican Rep. Henry Burns on Tuesday.
The new law does not apply to churches on school property.
Supporters of the measure said it can be a deterrent against criminal activity in church and will give an option to ministers and pastors to incorporate concealed handguns into their security plans.
I ask again, if he signs an Amnesty bill in, will he be legal?

Memo Reveals Refuge Officers' Struggle to Secure Lands Along Southwest Border By Stephen Clark
July 2, 2010: Sally Gall, acting refuge manager at the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge in Arizona, estimated that a "couple hundred" individuals now attempt to cross the closed portion of the refuge daily, or roughly 5 percent of the estimated flow four years ago.
As the threat of violence stemming from illegal immigration hangs over federal lands in southern Arizona, an internal memo from 2007 reveals that refuge officers have been spending most of their time struggling to deal with border-related activities instead of protecting wildlife habitat.
The memo is three years old, but it is unlikely that much has changed, since parts of five federal lands -- including two designated national monuments -- continue to post travel warnings or be outright closed to the public because of the dangers of "human and drug trafficking" along the Mexican border.
WSJ Editorial Draws on IER Research to Expose Obama Spill Commission for What It Really Is: A Few Activists, a Few Hacks, and a Full Slate of Dilettantes. Wall Street Journal (7/9) editorializes, How ideologically stacked is President Obama's offshore drilling commission? So much that even many of his fellow Democrats can't support it.
“As for the rest of the President's commission, the Institute for Energy Research has compiled a summary of their views on oil exploration: "Offshore drilling is a needless risk, " said Ms. Beinecke in 2008. "We should be redoubling our efforts to get off oil, " said fellow commission member Donald Boesch in May. He wants "transportation not powered by liquid petroleum. " Appointee Terry Garcia of the National Geographic Society rapped the Bush administration in 2008 for not doing more to "protect" oceans from "commercial and recreational fishing, oil and gas exploration or deep-sea mining." The University of Alaska's Fran Ulmer is on the board of the Union of Concerned Scientists, which wants the U.S. to curb its "oil addiction" by requiring that cars get at least 42 miles to the gallon. This lineup is the equivalent of naming a panel of Amish to win the war in Afghanistan. They have neither the knowledge nor the interest in drilling down to learn the facts of what went wrong in the Gulf and how to prevent future oil spills. Having had his drilling moratorium declared illegal by a federal judge and now his drilling commission rebuked by Democrats, Mr. Obama might want to liberate himself from Carol Browner and other antidrilling White House advisers before they cause him greater political damage.
Federal Appeals Court Rejects Obama Admin Attempt to Enforce Capricious Ban on Offshore Energy – But Don’t Worry: New Ban Set to Be Released Later Today. NY Times (7/8) reports, “A federal appeals court on Thursday turned down the Obama administration’s effort to enforce a six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. A three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, in New Orleans, ruled shortly after a hearing in a lawsuit filed by companies that claim they are being financially crippled by the suspension of drilling. The Interior Department said the moratorium was necessary because of the uncertainties about the cause of the BP oil well blowout in April, a shortage of response equipment and a need to write strict new drilling rules. The moratorium was struck down by a lower court on June 22 by a federal judge who found it arbitrary and economically ruinous to industry. The appeals court found that the Interior Department failed to show the federal government would suffer “irreparable injury” if the moratorium is lifted while it appeals the trial court’s decision. A senior administration official said earlier Thursday that the Interior Department would immediately issue a new moratorium if it lost the court case. Those new regulations, revising the earlier suspension, could come as early as Friday.
Oil/Water samples from Gulf...VERY TOXIC video
Oil and water samples were taken from both the Shores of Grand Isle and from 20 miles out. The preliminary analysis was done at an academic analytical chemistry laboratory. Looking for the likely pollutants from the deep water Horizon Oil spill. It was focused on the detection of benzene and propylene glycol. Benzene and other highly toxic contaminants were very low however the concentration of propylene glycol was between 360 and 440 parts per million. Just 25 parts per million is know to kill most fish and propylene glycol is just one of many ingredients found in Corexit. In short, the Gulf is being poisoned by BP's usage of the dispersants even after the EPA asked them to stop back in May. We are willing to provide ANY respected/known laboratory these samples or provide them with more. This is very serious to all people and marine life in and around the Gulf.
Is the Oil Spill Staged? By Jim O'Neill
“We are not the enemy here.”—Anderson Cooper, CNN reporter (referring to the media blackout surrounding the oil spill)
Let me say up front that, personally, I don’t believe that the oil spill disaster was staged (although I believe that much of the clean-up may well be). So why do I bring up the possibility? Because we are being lied to by both the federal government and BP, and at this point all possible explanations for the oil spill need to remain on the table.
On the face of it, asking if the Gulf oil spill is a staged event may seem to be absurd—what about all the oil washing up on the beaches; what about the deaths from the rig explosion; what about all the money being spent on the clean-up, and so on…?.........
I believe that even sane liberals (no snide comments, please) would agree that this whole oil-spill-thing stinks. It stinks of cover-up, lies, and corruption.
The truth will set us free.

2,000 Year Old Hebrew Love Scroll Found At Qumran
Exciting archaeology in Qumran: an ancient Jewish message of love toward Jerusalem is discovered.
4,000 years of the unique love and faithfulness of G-d and Israel toward Jerusalem will never end.
It is so special and certainly not an accident that at this very critical time of godly redemption of the people and land of Israel, when G‑d is rebuilding His Kingdom together with His chosen people, Israel is discovering numerous and very exciting archaeological artifacts from the biblical era. Each one of them is a message from the G‑d of Israel and a testimony from our forefathers calling Israel to not allow the Land of Israel and especially Jerusalem to fall again or to be divided.
Israel recently discovered among the Qumran scrolls in the Judean Desert a Hebrew scroll more than 2,000 years old containing a poem that describes deep and profound love for Jerusalem. The poem was written by a Jew during the Second Temple period, using the same Hebrew script that is in use today. Again, it is not an accident that it was found close to the time when Israel celebrated her 62nd anniversary. What is even more exciting is the fact that this poem of love, written to Zion and Jerusalem, is so similar to the national anthem of Israel, Ha Tikvah (The Hope). Both poems are speaking about the eternal hope of Israel to again be a free nation in Zion and Jerusalem.
The ancient poem describes, in very meaningful and emotional words, the great love of the Jewish people for Jerusalem and the hope of the redemption of Jerusalem, which in those days was controlled by the Romans. I will attempt to translate all the lines in the poem which were written in Hebrew in alphabetical order. Each time the poet used the word Zion, he was referring to Jerusalem. The term Zion is the most important godly name given to the Temple Mount and throughout time it also became the name for Jerusalem and also the name for the Land of Israel. The Zionist movement of our time derived its name from the biblical term Zion:

Counter-Terrorism Bureau: 'Very High' Risk for Israelis Abroad by Gil Ronen
The Counter Terrorism Bureau of the National Security Council issued a renewed travel warning for Israelis abroad throughout the world Thursday, citing “a very high concrete threat.”
"Hizbullah continues to blame Israel for the death of Imad Mughniyeh,” it said on its website, “and Iran blames Israel for the death of the nuclear scientist in Teheran.”
"According to information in our possession,” the CTB explained, “there continue to be threats of revenge through terrorist killing or abduction against Israelis abroad, with emphasis on businessmen, former senior state establishment officials.”
The CTB advises Israelis abroad to maintain high levels of sensitivity and alertness; to completely avoid staying in countries that come under specific travel warnings; to reject any tempting and unexpected offer, whether in business or pleasure; to reject unexpected invitations to meetings, especially in remote places and in hours of darkness, and to avoid allowing suspicious or unexpected visitors into their hotel room or living quarters.
Israel: A Normal Country
Hostility to the Jews has been a stain on the Western world's honor for centuries.
The following statement has been signed by Jose Maria Aznar, David Trimble, John R. Bolton, Alejandro Toledo, Marcello Pera, Andrew Roberts, Fiamma Nirenstein, George Weigel, Robert F. Agostinelli and Carlos Bustelo:
Israel is a Western democracy and a normal country. Nonetheless, Israel has faced abnormal circumstances since its inception. In fact, Israel is the only Western democracy whose existence has been questioned by force, and whose legitimacy is still being questioned independently of its actions.
The recent flotilla crisis in the Mediterranean provided yet another occasion for Israel's detractors to renew their frenzied campaign. It was so even before the facts of that tragic incident had come to light. Eyes were blind to the reasons why Israel had to respond to the Gaza flotilla's clear provocation.
Because we believe Israel is subjected to unfair treatment, and are convinced that defending Israel means defending the values that made and sustain our Western civilization, we have decided to launch the Friends of Israel Initiative. Our goal is to bring reason and decency back to the discussion about Israel. We are an eclectic group, coming from different countries and holding different opinions on a range of issues. It goes without saying that we do not speak for the State of Israel and we do not defend every course of action that it decides upon. We are united, however, by the following beliefs, principles and aims:

U.S. Plans Cyber Shield for Utilities, Companies By SIOBHAN GORMAN
The federal government is launching an expansive program dubbed "Perfect Citizen" to detect cyber assaults on private companies and government agencies running such critical infrastructure as the electricity grid and nuclear-power plants, according to people familiar with the program.
The surveillance by the National Security Agency, the government's chief eavesdropping agency, would rely on a set of sensors deployed in computer networks for critical infrastructure that would be triggered by unusual activity suggesting an impending cyber attack, though it wouldn't persistently monitor the whole system, these people said. ....
Some industry and government officials familiar with the program see Perfect Citizen as an intrusion by the NSA into domestic affairs, while others say it is an important program to combat an emerging security threat that only the NSA is equipped to provide.

DOJ Files Ridiculous Suit Against Arizona, Wastes Taxpayer Money in the Process
Hard to believe, but the Obama administration is suing Arizona for attempting to rectify a blatant failure of the federal government. Weeks of political posturing came to a head on July 6th as the Justice Department officially filed a suit against our state regarding the immigration law that was passed in April.
The Justice Department argues that enforcing immigration law is a federal responsibility. Arizonians have heard those words for far too long, and our concerns about public safety have been completely brushed aside. The federal government has proven itself remarkably incompetent when it comes to securing the border, and the people of Arizona are suffering the consequences.
There is no mistaking the fact that for several decades the federal government has completely failed to do its job, and now the state of Arizona has taken matters into its own hands to protect its citizens from gang violence, drug smuggling and human trafficking.

The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,
and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty,
and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up,
and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.
And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down,
and the haughtiness of men shall be made low:
and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
Isaiah 2:11-18

Prophets To The Gentiles
Many people may not realize that there are at least three prophets in the Old Testament that were called specifically to prophesy regarding the Gentiles. Obviously, most of the Bible deals with history - both past and future - through the "lens" of Israel. But there are three short books that focus on Gentile history and each has specific application to you and me today.
Two of them were from Galilee! (The wag in John 7:52 hadn't done his homework...)
"They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet." -John 7:52
Both Jonah and Nahum came from the Galilee area: in fact, Capernaum (Caper Nahum) means the "Village of Nahum."
The Biggest Miracle: Perhaps one of the biggest miracles in the Old Testament is in the Book of Jonah - and it wasn't the big fish story! God called Jonah to minister to Nineveh, which had served as the capital of the world for several centuries. It was the enemy of Israel, and Jonah was not attracted to the assignment until God explained it to him a bit more clearly!
When Jonah finally did go there, he didn't present a polished, "seeker friendly" sermon! God had declared that the city was 40 days from being destroyed. Jonah went through town proclaiming, "Forty days and you get yours!" He was hoping they would get wiped out. In fact, his biggest fear was that God might have mercy (he went up on a hill and pouted when God did spare them).
It is interesting that Jonah didn't preach repentance. He simply announced their impending doom. It is astonishing to realize that within those 40 days, the king speculated that, just maybe, if they repented God might change His mind. They did, and God did. From the king on down, they put on sackcloth (the traditional ritual for repentance). They even put sackcloth on the cattle!
The repentance of Nineveh is astonishing when you think about it. Forty days from "ground zero." And they were given another century.
When Nations Die: Nations and empires actually do have "life cycles." This has been studied by many historians throughout the years and they all have come to about the same conclusion: a lifetime of about two centuries. Nations all seem to go through the same life cycle: "from bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependency; from dependence back again into bondage." - Alexander Tyler, 1750
Where are we in this cycle? We, too, have gone from bondage to spiritual faith; from faith to great courage which established our precious liberty, which, in turn, has given us unprecedented abundance that has made us the envy of the world. That abundance, however, has led to complacency and apathy. If you ask the average person, "What is the biggest problem in America? Is it ignorance or is it apathy?" They will probably respond, "I don't know; and I don't care!"
This apathy will ultimately lead to dependency and then return us to the very bondage that this nation was founded to deliver us from. Robert Bork was right when he said:
"The only hope for America is a grass roots revival."
THE LEFT - OUT NEWS
REPEAL OBAMACARE!!!
The Heritage Foundation recently launched a sister organization, Heritage Action for America. Heritage Action is leading a national campaign to repeal Obamacare.
Help us defeat the left.
Three weeks ago, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) filed a discharge petition, a special measure that would force the U.S. House of Representatives to vote again on Obamacare. The petition needs 218 signers to force a re-vote. Already, more than 100 lawmakers have signed on, including Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) and others in the GOP leadership, and the momentum continues to build.
Rep. King has publically attributed much of the momentum behind the petition to our efforts at Heritage Action. We’re working alongside King in a national cooperative effort. And we intend to do everything we can to help him get as many signatures as possible.
We have produced a new advertisement making the case for repeal. Click here to see it.

Barackracy, Part 1 - Breaking the Back of Free Enterprise
"An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy; because there is a limit beyond which no institution and no property can bear taxation." --John Marshall
Folks with extensive training in strategic analysis tend to have a very different viewpoint of the macro-political machinations from that of folks in the trenches who have a more tactical perspective. As such, strategic viewpoints are many times received with great skepticism.
At ground level, for example, one might have a problem with the following strategic analysis: It would appear that Barack Hussein Obama's macro agenda for the U.S. economy is to break the back of capitalism and, in the ensuing crisis, use government intervention to replace it with a more refined socialist economic framework than the one currently in place.
If that analysis makes you uncomfortable, prepare to become far more so if his agenda succeeds.
As one with excessive formal training in the art of strategic analysis, I can assure you that Obama's plan, as outlined above, is progressing on schedule.
In regard to the failing economy, Obama recently said, "Make no mistake, we are headed in the right direction, but ... we're not headed there fast enough for a lot of Americans."
Many people hear those words and interpret them to mean that we're progressing toward economic recovery. However, the strategic analyst hears that the Left's objective of a socialized economy is just upon the horizon, that Obama and company would like to bring it to dock at a much faster pace and with such forceful momentum to ensure that the "fundamental transformation of America" can't be undone.

Obama bypasses Senate for new Medicare chief By ERICA WERNER
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama bypassed the Senate Wednesday and appointed Dr. Donald Berwick, a Harvard professor and patient care specialist, to run Medicare and Medicaid.
The decision to use a so-called recess appointment to install Berwick as administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services drew immediate fire from the GOP. Republicans have raised concerns about Berwick's views on rationing of care and other matters and said it was wrong for Obama to go around the normal Senate confirmation process.
Just the Facts (No Slander) on Berwick by Michelle Oddis
In an attempt to defend Sir Donald Berwick, President Obama’s nominee for healthcare czar, Democrats are accusing Republicans of taking his words out of context and of slandering the Harvard professor.
Berwick, nominated to head Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), has never tried to hide his obsession with socialized medicine. He even published an op-ed in the Washington Post in 1992 where he stated he was “in love” with Britain’s National Heath Service.
He called the British system—that many here in the US refer to as “free for all, but worthless to many”—a “seductress” about which he is “romantic.”
In the op-ed, Berwick even bashed the 2nd Amendment, saying, “At last, a nation where healthcare is a right and carrying a semi-automatic machine gun is a privilege.”
Despite the transparency of Berwick’s statements, Sen. Max Baucus (D.-Mont.) complained on the Senate floor that it is “simply a libel” for Sen. John Barrasso’s (R.-Wyo.) to charge that Berwick “plans to ration healthcare.”
“If the senator were not protected by the speech-and-debate clause, he’d be subject to a suit for slander,” said Baucus.
Berwick has openly stated in a healthcare journal that we should ration healthcare “with our eyes open.”
“Any healthcare funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must, must redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent healthcare is by definition redistributional,” said Berwick.
Obama Packs Debt Commission With Social Security Privatization & Benefit Cut Supporters Jane Hamsher
President Obama has packed the Debt Commission (also known as the cat food commission) with members who have an overwhelming history of support for both benefit cuts and privatization of Social Security.
The “National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform” is operating in secret over the objections of both parties. John Boehner and John Conyers have both raised concerns that the commission will make recommendations in December that could be passed by a lame duck Congress that doesn’t have to worry about being reelected. They requested that the commission report its findings prior to the election so that the public can have a chance to factor in the recommendations into their voting decisions in the election. The commission denied the request.

Exclusive: Why Is This Islamist Group Still Legal In The USA? Gadi Adelman
They have been banned by most countries in the Middle East. Even not so moderate countries such as Syria, Lebanon,Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Turkey, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia and yes, even Pakistan. They are barred from Germany, all the former Soviet states in Central Asia, Russia and the Netherlands.
They came close to being banned in the UK in August 2005 when then-Prime Minister Tony Blair announced his intentions to ban the group.That was until threats of riots made him drop the idea. I am of course speaking of Hizb ut-Tahrir (the Party of Liberation).
Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT) still operates freely here in the US and just last year held their first conference “The rise of Islam and the fall of Capitalism” in Chicago shortly after Obama became President.
According to Bridgette Gabriel of ACT for America:
“The Islamic Party of Liberation focuses on recruiting boys between the ages of 8 and 18 years old to become suicide bombers and Jihadists to advance Islam throughout the world.”

Hezbollah leader living across US border in Tijuana MUST READ!
My my... more evidence bubbles to the surface that the US-Mexican border wars is about more than the civil rights of illegal immigrants... or the anticipated built in voter bloc for desperate Dems. Today brings good news that the Mexican police are actively working to thwart Hezbollah's attempt to gain a foothold there. A survelliance operation focused on Hezbollah leader, Jameel Nasr, resulted in his arrest at his Tijuana home. Nasr employed Mexican nationals with family ties to Lebanon for his Hezbollah/Mexico network.
According to the report, Mexican police mounted a surveillance operation on the group's leader, Jameel Nasr, who traveled frequently to Lebanon to receive information and instructions from Hezbollah commanders there.
Police say Nasr also made frequent trips to other countries in Latin America, including a two-month stay in Venezuela in the summer of 2008.
Tijuana... a stone's throw from southern Cal. ummm, yeah.

Poll Released This Week – Oversampled with Democratic Voters, Mind You – Finds 70% of Respondents Oppose National Energy Tax Debated by Congress. E&E News (7/7, subs. req’d) reports, “Voters are overwhelmingly opposed to any policy they perceive as increasing taxes on energy and have little interest in seeing climate legislation become a reality, according to a poll released today by a conservative-leaning think tank. The poll found that roughly 70 percent of voters opposed such a policy, while 28 percent expressed support. Sixty-three percent of voters did say they see the proposal as a tax, compared to 33 percent who do not. In a follow-up question, 61 percent said they are unwilling to pay any amount more in gasoline taxes in order to address global warming. Institute for Energy Research spokesman Patrick Creighton said that the polling conducted by environmental groups often ignores the cost aspect, painting the legislation as benefiting the consumers through rebates and other policies while downplaying the potential financial hit to individuals and businesses."We ask about cost; they don't ask about cost, " Creighton said. "The reason we did this, pure and simple, is because whenever polling data comes out on energy and environmental issues, there's never any cost associated with it."
Massive Subsidization of Solar Installations in Washington State Not Enough to Get Folks to Jump – State “Is the Last Place in the World” Where Solar Can Work. Seattle Times “Counting the Deans, the statewide number of solar-power systems using all Washington-made parts stands at only 15. "We're going at it at a slow pace," said Mike Nelson, who 's been involved in solar power since 1979 and is now director of Shoreline Community College's clean-energy program. The Legislature created the Renewable Energy Cost Recovery Incentives Program years ago. It pays people or businesses using renewable-energy systems — such as wind, solar or anaerobic digesters — a base rate for each kilowatt-hour produced by the system. The rate increases if various parts are manufactured in Washington, up to 54 cents per kilowatt-hour. There's also an incentive for solar-power manufacturers: They get a 43 percent break on their business & occupation tax. Even though there are incentives for both manufacturers and consumers, the two combined aren't as attractive as subsidies in other states. Electricity in California costs 15 cents a kilowatt-hour, compared with 7 cents in Washington. Cheap hydroelectric power makes Washington "the last place in the world" where solar power will reach a competitive price, Nelson said.
You Know It’s Bad When: Even Federal Government Says California Solar Giveaway “Presents Significant Risk to Lenders” – and Shuts the Program Down Cold. Santa Rosa (Calif.) Press Democrat “Sonoma County has suspended an innovative 16-month-old program to help property owners finance solar installations and other energy-saving retrofits after a federal agency announced Tuesday that such programs present a risk to giant government-chartered mortgage lenders. The decision prevents new applications and freezes 578 pending applications with the county’s Energy Independence Program. It does not affect participants who signed their deals with the county before Tuesday. Still, the suspension of new business — and the federal guidelines prompting it — are a significant blow to the momentum and money flowing toward energy efficiency and green building locally, said county officials, contractors and others. Some experts say the new guidelines also could affect many mortgage holders with no connection to the county’s program by lowering loan limits. The Federal Housing Finance Agency said Tuesday that such arrangements “present significant risk to lenders” and “are not essential for successful programs to spur energy conservation.”

Hamas Says: You've Given Us Gaza, Now on to More Wars, Seizing the West Bank, and Wiping Out Israel By Barry Rubin
Tisha B'Av 2010:
The Holy Temple Mount, Jerusalem and Israel will never fall again! The G-d of Israel will not allow it!
The answer from the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement to the harsh pressure coming from US President Obama, the UN, the EU, enemies of Israel and the entire world:
"Take your hands off Jerusalem! Israel obeys only the Almighty G-d of Israel!"
The Hebrew month of Av commemorates the destructions of the first Jewish temple in Jerusalem in the year 586 bce and the second temple in the year 70 ce. In both tragic events the Israelite kingdom was destroyed. The first destruction was by the strong power of the Babylonians, and the second destruction was by the vigorous power of the Romans. In both of these most terrible events in the history of Israel, G‑d promised and fulfilled His mission to regather the people of Israel back to the Promised Land and to rebuild the kingdom of Israel. In our time we have witnessed the regathering of G‑d's people Israel back to the land of His covenant, the rebuilding of His kingdom of Israel, and shall soon witness the building of the Third Holy Temple.
After these two paramount disasters in the history of Israel, G‑d taught the people of Israel an important lesson: Never again lean on human powers, and never obey the princes of men, but lean, trust, and obey 'only' the Almighty G‑d of Israel. The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement declares before our Almighty G‑d at this very critical time, when human powers from every corner of the world led by President Obama are pressuring Israel: "Never again shall we trust any human power nor the princes of men but our trust is only in the Almighty G‑d of Israel, the G‑d of our forefathers."
IDF: Hizbullah Holing Up Near Schools, Hospitals Again by Gil Ronen
Hizbullah is placing military positions, weapons and explosive charges next to schools and hospitals in southern Lebanon, a senior IDF source said Wednesday. The IDF may have to take action against these targets in case of hostilities with Hizbullah, and has said as much to the UN force in southern Lebanon (UNIFIL).
An officer in the IDF Northern Command said that Hizbullah is digging tunnels, preparing communications infrastructure and making other preparations for war. Hizbullah has about 40,000 rockets and about 10,000 militiamen scattered in about 160 villages in southern Lebanon.
Inside each of these villages, the terror militia has an infrastructure that includes weapons, control centers, mines and other explosives, all of which are located very short distances away from population centers, schools and hospitals.

Obama is 'still evil,' say Israeli lawmakers
Obama puts on a friendly face in meeting with Netanyahu, but Israeli ministers are still wary of the American leader
Dr. Richard L. Rubinstein, Harvard PhD, Yale fellow, "Distinguished Professor of the Year" issues a warning...
As a member of the Jewish community, I have trouble explaining the bad treatment Israel is receiving from our Administration. It is clear that the friendly relationship between the United States and Israel has changed. For me, photo-ops of handshaking and speeches are no longer enough. I need to see concrete actions. Dr. Richard Rubenstein has something to say that every Jewish person in America needs to hear. This video interview was sent to me by a fellow Jew who asked that I forward it to others. I normally would not do that, but this issue is so important to us, regardless of our respective political affiliation. We need to have our voices heard.
You may recall that during his campaign, former Sen. Barack Obama told the pro-Israel lobby the American Israel Public Affairs Committee that he would be a strong ally of the Jewish state. As such, he repeated one of the talking points AIPAC always likes to hear, that "Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided." Has his position changed? When Hamas and the PA immediately balked, Obama backtracked. In his interview with CNN, when asked whether Palestinians had no future claim to the city, he said, "well, obviously, it's going to be up to the parties to negotiate a range of these issues. And Jerusalem will be part of those negotiations." Rhetoric will not save Israel.
Growing up during and after WWII, I had many family members who fled Eastern Europe and other who were holocaust survivors. These were people who were so comfortably integrated in European society, that they could not fathom what ultimately happened to their families. Could something like that happen again? Dr Rubenstein delivers a wake-up call for American Jewry - the survival of Israel is closely tied to the fate of the Jewish people around the world.
Dr. Richard L. Rubinstein, author of "Jihad and Genocide", Harvard PhD, Yale fellow, "Distinguished Professor of the Year", states that president Obama's intention is to "correct the historical mistake of the creation of the state of Israel." You can learn more about Dr. Rubinstein at the following Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jihad_and_Genocide
The video interview is available here ("Obama Most Radical US President ever")
After retiring from medicine, I completed additional graduate work in disaster management and have deployed to several significant domestic disasters as a federal disaster provider. Unfortunately little can be done to prevent a natural disaster such as, an earthquake, flood, tornado or hurricane. We can only mitigate the effects by strengthening our structures/buildings and preparing our communities. On the other hand, with man-made disasters we have many options. It starts with being aware and includes being able to react to prevent a problem.
The scenario that Dr. Rubinstein describes a potential disaster that should at a minimum raise our awareness and cause us to expect more from our President, not just promises regarding the future well being of the State of Israel.

NOTE: This video should be watched in its entirety. The Australian reporter is ripping the pathetic Hizbi chap and journalists should learn how to do that here!
The Islamist used the tribal warfare practices of fading if confronted and exposed. The interviewer is really superb at her job and did not allow that to happen.
One cannot negotiate with or integrate with the Islamic element ever.
We need for our government, and the BBC and CNN and Fox and all other media outlets to do the same job here as this Australian brilliant interviewer did.
Al-Hayat Editorial Board Director: Fatwas Banning Soccer Reflect Crisis in Islamic World
Following the murder in Somalia of two soccer fans as they watched a televised World Cup game, Jamil Al-Thiyabi, director of the editorial board of the Saudi London-based daily Al-Hayat, penned an op-ed in the paper titled "Soccer is Forbidden!" In it, he stated that these fatwas reflected a crisis in the Islamic world, where the legitimate Islamic institutions do nothing about extremist groups that are forcing their will upon society.
Daniel Greenfield article: Why Do Muslims Murder Americans? MUST READ!!
The latest talking point in the Western terrorism apologist camp is that Islamic terrorism against Americans began in 1968 when a PLO supporter named Siran Sirhan assassinated Robert Kennedy. Thaddeus Russel, a radical professor and author of something called, "A Renegade History of the United States", circulated the latest version of this meme when he wrote;
"Not one American died at the hands of a politically motivated Arab or Muslim until June 5, 1968, when Robert F. Kennedy was shot to death by Sirhan Sirhan. The killing came shortly after President Lyndon Johnson declared that the U.S. would become Israel’s major sponsor"
Of course there's one problem with this claim. History.
The difference between History and Radical History, is that the former is a record of events that actually took place, and the latter is a distortion of history based on a political agenda. The idea that Muslim terrorists began murdering and trying to murder Americans, after an LBJ announcement isn't history. It's radical history.
So let's take a look at history instead.
In 1958, ten years before Sirhan Sirhan began polishing his gun, the United Arab Republic (a geographical Frankenstein's monster under the rule of Egypt's Hitler worshiping General, Gamal Abdel Nasser) funded and armed a Muslim revolt against the Christian Lebanese government of President Chamoun. Eisenhower responded by sending in the US Marines as peacekeeping forces. The Muslim terrorists responded by setting off bombs in public squares, restaurants and department stores where Americans were likely to be found.
ICNA's Rhetoric Doesn't Match its Books
The Islamic Circle of North America's (ICNA) 2010 South Central Regional Conference last month at the University of Houston was more than just the local edition of ICNA's yearly theme, "Save Family – Save Society." Sessions like "Peer Pressure: Good or Bad" and "Parents and Our Responsibility" offered reasonable emphasis on issues of concern to any family.
However, increasing radicalism among Muslim American youth is a concern as well, and some of the literature available at the conference stood in contradiction with the stated goal of 'saving society.' Books by Islamist ideologues were widely available to conference attendees, including those by the godfather of modern Sunni terror movements and a Pakistani extremist who dreams of global Islamic governance.
These materials were in keeping with ICNA's long-standing promotion of extremist Islamist literature, a trend which was documented by the Investigative Project on Terrorism in connection with the radicalization of five young Americans arrested in Pakistan last December while trying to join the fight against U.S. troops.
The availability of such material indicates that, despite ICNA's positive public image, the organization hasn't taken promised steps to shed its ideological baggage.

The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established
in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,
to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths:
for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people:
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks:
nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
Isaiah 2:1-5
REPEAL OBAMACARE!!!
The Heritage Foundation recently launched a sister organization, Heritage Action for America. Heritage Action is leading a national campaign to repeal Obamacare.
Help us defeat the left.
Three weeks ago, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) filed a discharge petition, a special measure that would force the U.S. House of Representatives to vote again on Obamacare. The petition needs 218 signers to force a re-vote. Already, more than 100 lawmakers have signed on, including Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) and others in the GOP leadership, and the momentum continues to build.
Rep. King has publically attributed much of the momentum behind the petition to our efforts at Heritage Action. We’re working alongside King in a national cooperative effort. And we intend to do everything we can to help him get as many signatures as possible.
We have produced a new advertisement making the case for repeal. Click here to see it.

Daniel Greenfield article: Objectiveless in Iraq and Afghanistan
The dominant question on everyone's mind is when are we going to get out. Out of Iraq and out of Afghanistan. Liberals who voted for Obama with the certainty that both wars were the product of some evil plot hatched by Cheney in the White House subbasement are confused and frustrated as to why the US hasn't just pulled out. Of course those are the same people who were never troubled by Taliban atrocities or Saddam's rape rooms, and aren't going to be too bothered when the Iranian puppet Mahdi Army and the Taliban come back in for a bloody takeover. And if they do, George Galloway or Robert Fisk will be by shortly to explain to them that it's just the oppressors getting exactly what they deserve.
The Obama Administration has no commitment to either war. Much of the Administration from the top on down, shares Jeremiah Wright's assessment of the last ten years, as a case of the chickens coming home to roost. But it's also concerned enough about its popularity to underwrite a year or two of bloody battles between Allied forces and the Islamic insurgents in both countries, just in order to time a Mission Accomplished pullout before the next Presidential election. This brand of amoral cynicism is in some ways worse than that of a Galloway or a Buchanan, since unlike the Bush Administration, Barry, Biden and Jim Jones are not fighting a war they believe in. They're sending troops into battle for a cause they don't believe in, to boost a reelection campaign.

Islam and Marxism From Allah to Alinsky: Introduction by Andrew Mellon
Daily we are struck with ever more outrageous signs of an administration that seems to lack all common sense when it comes to Islam, and the violent and peaceful jihad being waged against the West. We have a President who bows down to our enemies and excoriates our staunchest of allies, an Attorney General who cannot bring himself to say the phrase “radical Islam,” and a National Security Adviser who refers to Jerusalem as “al Quds.”
We must get Vijay Kumar elected to Congress for Tennessee's 5th District, and here's why:
• Vijay is the only candidate warning of the threat of Universal Jihad and proposing REAL solutions.
• Vijay is the only candidate who says there is no such thing as an Israel-Palestine conflict, an India-Pakistan conflict, or a Russia- Chechnya conflict: there is only Universal Jihad behind it all.
• Vijay is the only candidate who proposes a United Front of Victims of Jihad made up of nations all around the world who have been subjected to it.
• Vijay is the only candidate who says that the Taliban and al-Queda are only expendable foot-soldiers of Universal Jihad, and that fighting against them does not defeat the real enemies.
• Vijay is the only candidate who names the real enemies--the Axis of Jihad, which is Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Pakistan--and says that they must be demilitarized, secularized, and democratized for there ever to be peace in the world.
• Vijay is the only candidate who says the war with Islamic regimes is an ideological war, and that if we approach it as such, it can be won within five years, for no more than one billion dollars, and without the loss of further American lives.
• Vijay is the only candidate calling for a complete halt to immigration from all countries where Sharia law is the law of the land, including Afghanistan, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Palestinian National Authority, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen.
• Vijay is the only candidate calling for outright abolishment of the federal income tax and the IRS, replacing it with the Fair Tax, which will revitalize the economy and create jobs.
In addition, Vijay is a strong supporter of fiscal responsibility in government, the 2nd Amendment, states rights, legal immigration, secure borders, the right to life, and family values.
The time to help him is now! There are fewer than 30 days left until the primary on August 5, and he is running against 10 other candidates, some of them connected to the same old Washington vested interests, lobbyists, and big political money. Vijay is doing it on his own, and is his own man, running on his principles and telling the truth!
Please go to his web site and contribute as much money as you can right now!

Doublin’ Down: Obama Admin Asks Federal Court to Reinstate Sweeping Moratorium on Energy Development Offshore – Jobs, Revenue, People Be Damned. Wall Street Journal “The Obama administration asked a federal appeals court Tuesday to reinstate a moratorium on deepwater petroleum drilling, saying it is needed to reduce the chance of a second spill similar to the one now spewing crude into the Gulf of Mexico. In a filing with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, Justice Department officials said a six-month suspension of drilling in more than 500 feet of water is in the "long-term public interest of the nation," and is needed to give the Interior Department time to develop and implement new regulations to prevent another spill. The filing was in response to a federal judge's decision in June to block the moratorium, saying the Interior Department had trivialized the economic impact of the temporary ban. In the filing, the administration cited not only the "catastrophic impacts" of the accident on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig but also the risk of a second spill, "which industry has shown limited ability to contain." In Louisiana, many politicians have said the ban is crippling an economy already walloped by curtailed fishing and a loss of tourism.
Legal Filing From International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC) Argues Continuation of Obama Offshore Ban Will Increase Oil Spillage in the Gulf. Houston Chronicle “The Obama administration's ban on deep-water drilling is arbitrary, unfounded and will cause "a catastrophic loss of jobs," the International Association of Drilling Contractors argues in a new legal filing. The IADC questions "whether the local economy can even survive the moratorium," as across the Gulf Coast, rig workers are laid off, contractors lose work and suppliers of everything from rope to groceries see their sales plummet. "One of the most ruinous effects of the moratorium is that it will drive mobile rigs to leave the Gulf for the waters of foreign countries," the association warns. As a result, the ban "will necessarily decrease U.S. oil production and thus increase America's dependence on foreign oil." The group goes on to note that because of the record of oil spills from tankers -- generally higher than spills from blown-out wells -- "the moratorium will increase the risk of oil spillage in the Gulf." The association made its case in a friend-of-the-court brief as the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans prepares to hear an hour of arguments Thursday over whether it should stay a trial judge's decision to block the ban.

Inside the Obama-Netanyahu meeting By Joel C. Rosenberg
(Washington, D.C., July 7, 2010) -- If this was the first meeting between President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu, it would have been great. The President was warm and friendly. He reaffirmed the "special relationship" and "unbreakable bond" between the U.S. and Israel. Netanyahu publicly invited Obama to come to Israel and meet there, and Obama smiled and said, "I'm ready."
The problem is that this wasn't their first meeting. It was their fifth, just the first to go well. President Obama wasted the past 14 months. He has treated Netanyahu like he was the head of BP oil rather than the leader of our most faithful friend and ally in the epicenter. Thus, President Obama came into the Oval Office meeting yesterday on defense. Jewish support for him in the U.S. has plummeted over the past year as the White House and State Department have treated Israel with unprecedented hostility. Fewer than 1-in-10 Israelis believe President Obama is pro-Israel because of the administration's long string of deeply unfriendly statements and actions.
The real challenge: behind the smiles of the two leaders, nothing decisive was said about how to stop Iran from getting the Bomb. And time is running out. CIA Director Leon Panetta said on June 27 that it would take Iran a year to convert the uranium they currently have to weapons grade, and another year to produce a deliverable bomb. In remarks at the Aspen Institute last week, Admiral Michael Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, agreed with Panetta and said this was consistent with his own assessment.
During his Q&A session, Admiral Mullen indicated that the U.S. believes Iran has not yet made a final decision to build nuclear weapons, while the Israelis believe Iran has made that decision.
Hamas Arresting Suspected Collaborators
A Hamas security official told reporters on Wednesday that security forces are rounding up suspected collaborators with Israel, and that so far five people in the Hamas-controlled Gaza region have been arrested in overnight raids.
He added suspects will go to trial and that no mercy will be shown. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the arrests.
West Says: We've Helped Poor Gazans! Hamas Says: You've Given Us Gaza, Now on to More Wars, Seizing the West Bank, and Wiping Out Israel By Barry Rubin*
Here is what President Barack H. Obama said after his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
"We believe that there is a way to make sure that the people of Gaza are able to prosper economically, while Israel is able to maintain its legitimate security needs in not allowing missiles and weapons to get to Hamas."
Now compare this with what the leader of the regime ruling the Gaza Strip says in explaining his broad strategy. See if there is any possible intersection between reality and Obama's priority on mking the Gza Strip prosperous.

Eye On Iran: Iran Admits Sanctions Could Slow Nuclear Program
URGENT! The Merchants in the Tehran Bazaar (Market) Are on Their Second Day of Strike By Sayeh Hassan
The merchants going on a strike is very exciting news, as they are generally supporters of Regime and have not been known for going on strikes or showing solidarity with the Iranian people. I think the fact that merchants are going on strike can be seen as a sign of Regime losing some of its most faithful supporters. I am very optimistic about this and will be following the developments closely in the next few weeks.
The Religious War: Insidious to the Ignorant by Pamela Geller
As Netanyahu returned to Washington and met again with Barack Obama on Tuesday, it’s important to recall what neither man would mention: the specific reason for the war between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs. It’s a religious war, just as the impending world war is also a religious war. The “Arab-Israeli” conflict over this or that piece of land is an Islamic narrative: taqiyya (religiously-sanctioned deception), to inflame the world and incite hatred against the Jews.
In fact, the conflict is not an Arab-Israeli anything. If it were, Muslim countries like Iran and Indonesia wouldn’t be so enflamed against Israel. It is Islam’s 1,400-year-old and continuing war against the Jews. That is the objective reality. The Koran calls the Jews the Muslims’ worst enemies (5:82), and says they’re accursed of Allah (9:30), who transformed them into apes and pigs (5:59-60). You don’t make peace with the people your god has told you are your worst enemies forever.

NASA Chief: Next Frontier Better Relations With Muslim World FoxNews.com
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in a recent interview that his "foremost" mission as the head of America's space exploration agency is to improve relations with the Muslim world.
Though international diplomacy would seem well outside NASA's orbit, Bolden said in an interview with Al Jazeera that strengthening those ties was among the top tasks President Obama assigned him. He said better interaction with the Muslim world would ultimately advance space travel.
"When I became the NASA administrator -- or before I became the NASA administrator -- he charged me with three things. One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science ... and math and engineering," Bolden said in the interview.
The NASA administrator was in the Middle East last month marking the one-year anniversary since Obama delivered an address to Muslim nations in Cairo. Bolden spoke in June at the American University in Cairo -- in his interview with Al Jazeera, he described space travel as an international collaboration of which Muslim nations must be a part.
NASA Unveils New Plan for Muslims in Outer Space By Daniel Greenfield GREAT SPOOF!!!

Dear Sir,
I cannot tell you how much we appreciate your budget cuts, your cancellation of the space shuttle and any replacement launch vehicle for it, forcing us to rely on Russian Soyuz ships and their space program, which can’t even seem to dock with the ISS Space Station.
Your wise decision in this regard, as well as your cancellation of any return trip to the moon, has caused us to reevaluate many of our programs, including the search for intelligent life on earth. We understand of course that space exploration must take a backseat to more important matters, such as bailing out the car companies and banks who contributed to your campaign. And of course the White House entertainment budget. Your historic actions since taking office have truly challenged us as an agency. We can only hope to one day be able to return the favor.
After carefully reviewing your new priority for NASA, to reach out to Muslims and make them feel good about “their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering”, which consisted mainly of ripping off Greek and Indian science, and passing it off as their own, we have developed a comprehensive plan for utilizing the talents and abilities of Muslims to further the goals of this nation’s goals space program, which you so articulately described as “That Outer Spacey Thing”.

ATLAS KAGAN VIDEO IN THE EXAMINER
Anthony Martin has written an excellent article over at the Examiner on Obama's disastrous nomination of Elena Kagan for Supreme Court Justice.
Here's an excerpt -- but go and read the whole thing:
Yet again Barack Obama has chosen to place on his team the most radical Leftwing activists this nation has ever witnessed. And this time, if confirmed, this particular individual will be set to exert her influence over the highest court in the land for the next 30 years at the very least.
How many more extremist revolutionaries who espouse Marxist 'fundamental change' will be allowed to infiltrate this government before the Republicans in Congress grow a spine and begin to block them?
The nation has but one chance left for its survival as a free society. And that is the November mid-term elections. If the Democrats retain enough seats in the House or the Senate, in addition to an outright Leftwing Marxist on the Supreme Court, then Obama will have his power-base in place to prevent his being voted out of office in 2012.
Kagan must be BLOCKED.
And no one says it any better than Pamela Geller, who, in the following video, lays out precisely what the nation faces in this dark hour. Her commentary on this video can be found here. Watch the entire video from beginning to end. It is vital.

TSA to Block "Controversial Opinion" on the Web
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is blocking certain websites from the federal agency's computers, including halting access by staffers to any Internet pages that contain a "controversial opinion," according to an internal email obtained by CBS News.
The email was sent to all TSA employees from the Office of Information Technology on Friday afternoon.
It states that as of July 1, TSA employees will no longer be allowed to access five categories of websites that have been deemed "inappropriate for government access."
The categories include: • Chat/Messaging • Controversial opinion • Criminal activity • Extreme violence (including cartoon violence) and gruesome content • Gaming
The email does not specify how the TSA will determine if a website expresses a "controversial opinion."
There is also no explanation as to why controversial opinions are being blocked, although the email stated that some of the restricted websites violate the Employee Responsibilities and Conduct policy.
The TSA did not return calls seeking comment by publication time.

Pinal sheriff turns down security detail By: Deborah Stocks
FLORENCE, AZ - Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu says he will not request a personal security detail after receiving "credible" threats against his life.
Sheriff's officials say Babeu has been outspoken about the need to secure the border with Mexico and protect citizens from both drug smuggling and human trafficking.
According to a department statement, individuals have made threats against the sheriff's life because of his stance on the issue, threats that have been deemed "credible" by outside law enforcement agencies and forwarded to the Pinal County Sheriff's Office for action and other threats made directly against Babeu and his staff.
City officials were asked two weeks ago by Chief Deputy Steve Henry for funding so Babeu could be temporarily provided with a small security detail.
"Any threat against an elected official is serious and they usually come from upset citizens," Henry said. "We have information of additional threats from the Mexican Mafia and Drug Cartel members that are placing a 'green light' on our Sheriff. It is one thing to threaten an elected official, yet threats against the Sheriff by foreign born criminals raise this to a new level."
Author of New Study Commissioned by IER – Which Finds Kerry-Lieberman Leads to Hemorrhaging of 5.1 Million Jobs – Takes on Entire Blogosphere One Greenie At a Time. PajamasMedia, “President Obama has repeatedly told Americans he has three main policy priorities — rewriting health care, overhauling the financial system, and imposing a cap-and-trade system to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. He met his first goal and he’s closer than ever on the second; time is running out if he wants to meet the trifecta by the end of 2010. But make no mistake, the president and his allies in Congress are working hard to pass cap-and-trade before this year is up. The problem is that cap-and-trade bills are expensive, they inevitably cost jobs, and the American people know it. Last year, the House passed the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill. But now that 1400+ page bill is stalled in the Senate in large part because of its massive costs to Americans. To jump start the debate, Senators Kerry and Lieberman recently announced a new strategy to impose a cap-and-trade system on Americans — the inaptly named “American Power Act.” Senator Kerry no longer calls his various proposals “cap-and-trade,” but changing a bill’s name to disguise its intentions is a time-honored ruse in Washington.

As Obama Offshore Ban Claims Livelihoods of Gulf Coast Residents, American Energy Alliance Says Enough Is Enough – Launches New Campaign to Save US Energy Jobs. AEA officially launches SaveUSEnergyJobs.com: Save U.S. Energy Jobs is a project of the American Energy Alliance (AEA) dedicated to promoting safety in the development of our offshore resources and to promoting America’s energy jobs. The public widely acknowledges that the BP oil spill is a disaster of staggering societal and economic proportions. While the accident itself is tragic, it is important to separate the actions of one bad actor from the rest of the industry. The far reaching impacts of this disaster should not include cutting off access to our domestic energy resources, the economic prosperity and national security benefits those resources provide, and the much needed jobs energy production provides to hard working Gulf residents. By focusing efforts on industry best practices, and ensuring across the board implementation of the best technologies and processes, we can more safely cultivate our vast national resources while also growing our economy and creating more jobs. Now more than ever, it is essential that our leaders turn to America’s world leading energy experts and engineers to guide the way forward, not to partisan rhetoric and talking points. Save U.S. Jobs will set the record straight.
Good Money After Bad: Obama Acknowledges No Jobs Created From His Green Jobs Push – So What Does He Do? Dump Another $2 Billion into Expensive Solar Project. Energy Guardian (7/6, subs. req’d) reports, “President Barack Obama is acknowledging much of the impact of his jobs stimulus package hasn’t been felt yet, but he is targeting fresh money to the clean energy sector that has been one of the few economic bright spots. The president used his weekend radio and video address to announce that the Energy Department is providing $1.85 billion in loan guarantees to two solar projects in Arizona and Colorado that promise to create as many as 5,000 jobs. More than $1.4 billion in loan guarantees will go to Abengoa Solar to help it build one of the world’s largest solar plants in the desert near near Gila Bend, Arizona. Abengoa Solar, based in Lakewood, Colo., is a division of the Spanish renewable energy and engineering company Abengoa. The project will create 1,600 construction jobs. “After years of watching companies build things and create jobs overseas, it’s good news that we’ve attracted a company to our shores to build a plant and create jobs right here in America,” Obama said. Obama said $400 million in loan guarantees will also be awarded to Colorado-based Abound Solar Manufacturing to manufacture advanced solar panels at two new plants, creating more than 2,000 construction jobs and 1,500 permanent jobs. A Colorado plant is already being built and an Indiana plant will be retooled from an empty Chrysler factory

White House Meeting Over, Obama Avoids Question on Freeze by Gil Ronen
United States President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu ended their first meeting in the White House Tuesday and faced reporters before heading off for a joint working lunch.
Obama was asked if he wanted Netanyahu to extend the ten-month freeze on Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria that is to end in late September. He did not answer, and instead, praised Israel for showing “restraint” on the matter of “settlements,” as the Jewish communities in the biblical heartland are often referred to. This restraint, he said, has created more opportunity for direct talks.
Nationalists Protest in Jerusalem as Netanyahu Meets Obama
Construction for Jews will resume after September 26, say whips for Likud, Israel Our Home, Shas, UTJ, Jewish Home and NU.
