Enemy Within The Gates Dr Chuck Baldwin
As surely as William Barret Travis drew a line in the sand at the Alamo, a line is being drawn in the hearts of men today. By the time it is over, every man and woman in America will have to choose which side of the line they are on. Neutrality will not be an option. Furthermore, this line is separating, not only political and cultural adversaries, it is dividing friends and families as well. In fact, it is no hyperbole to say that the enemy is not only AT the gates; the enemy is WITHIN the gates. Then again, I suppose that during any momentous turning point of history, it has always been this way. And make no mistake about it: we are at a momentous turning point of history.

Hizbullah and the information war By Caroline B. Glick What Hizbullah knows and many in the West still don't
..... What all of this shows is that information wars are not just about getting out the facts. Like kinetic warfare, they involve power plays, intimidation and the use of subconscious and visceral manipulation.
Israel has recently awoken to one aspect of information warfare. It has recognized the consequences of years of demonization of Israel in Europe and international organizations. But Israel has yet to awaken to the fact that it is a type of warfare and has to be countered with counter-information warfare.
Obviously this doesn't mean that Israel should begin acting like its enemies. But what it does mean is that Israel must begin using more hard-knuckle techniques to defend itself. It must begin targeting people's emotions as well has their minds.
For instance, when Israel is confronted by threats of lawsuits for acts of self-defense, it responds with defense attorneys. When the US was threatened with lawfare by Belgian courts, then secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld responded by threatening to remove NATO headquarters from Belgium.
When Israel is accused of targeting Palestinian civilians, it responds by attaching legal advisors to combat units. What it should be doing instead is providing film footage of Palestinian children being trained as terrorists and exploited as human shields. War is a dirty business. Information warfare is a dirty form of war. And if we don't want to lose, we'd better start fighting.
Reevaluating Free Trade with China by Phyllis Schlafly
The voters who elected the new Congress expect it to cast off unconstitutional and discredited policies such as Keynesian big-spending and judicial grabbing of legislative prerogatives. We also hope Congress will shake itself loose from the dishonest, anti-American trade policies of other countries, especially Communist China.
Although China is called a major trading partner, it treats U.S. companies like suckers, cheating them coming and going. China even intimidates U.S. businessmen so they don't dare to criticize China's unfair trade tactics.
2010: The Year of Islamist Infiltration Appeasement and outreach are no match for the enemy’s civilizational jihad.
... While the domestic terror trend has continued unabated, elements of pre-violent, or rather stealth, jihad are taking firm root in our government, military, judicial, and educational institutions, without the slightest opposition from the Obama administration and our homeland security agencies. In fact, if we’ve seen anything this year, it has been the willingness of government officials to lend their support to aid this stealth jihad.
The failure to recognize the “civilizational jihad” being waged against us is a bipartisan problem. Driven mainly by Muslim Brotherhood front groups and pushed by non-violent Islamist organizations in the West, the threat remains badly underrated by our national security establishment. But it was placed front and center by the report titled “Shariah: The Threat to America,” issued by the Team B II panel of national security experts including former CIA Director Jim Woolsey and former DIA Director Lt. Gen. Ed Soyster. ...

HJS Comments: Down on the border, we are fighting what may be a losing battle because no matter how well our Border Patrol heroes want to be, it is the leadership that provides the winning or losing policies. An army of determined people led by a winner, according to the Chinese, is much more to be feared than the same army led by losers and cowards.
One snippet from a report: (Boldfacing mine--hjs)
It is not widely reported by our news media that the smugglers maintain a dozen or more permanent lookout posts on desert hilltops inside the U.S. , and that those lookout posts are manned in week-long shifts by individuals who commute not from Mexico but from Phoenix , Tucson and other Arizona cities. The allegation that the Sinaloa drug cartel obtained those AK-47s from gun shops in the United States is nonsensical. That’s a fairy tale cooked up by the Obama administration and endorsed by the Mexican government because they do not want to admit that the cartels get most of their serious weaponry from the international black market and the Mexican military itself.
The rules requiring first use of bean-bag ammunition is but one example of the suicidal rules of engagement that govern Border Patrol operations. The reason they have such insane rules? The politicians who run the agency do not want the public to think the border is so dangerous a place that Border Patrol agents fear for their lives. In other words, the rules of engagement are based on a lie, a lie that must be maintained for political purposes.
Secretary Napolitano should do two things on Monday morning. First, she should order all Border Patrol agents to be issued weapons adequate for both self-defense and apprehension of armed drug smugglers. The second thing she should do Monday morning is resign.
The Sky Still Isn't Falling --Top Ten Failed Global Warming Predictions
By now we should have seen something, we were supposed to begin seeing effects from the "man made global warming. The predictions were all there, and they were made long enough ago that we can figure out if the sky is falling and the Manhattan skyline will be under water a week from Tuesday. So how did the global warming nuts do? Well if you excuse the expression, Not too hot. So don't cancel your trip into Manhattan next month (because Chicken Little was more accurate) and read the top ten dud predictions some are from Fox News, the rest have been covered here at the Lid
1. Within a few years "children just aren't going to know what snow is." Snowfall will be "a very rare and exciting event." Dr. David Viner, senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, interviewed by the UK Independent, March 20, 2000.
When it didn't get cold the CRU changed their minds. Now they are saying that the horribly cold/snowy winters are caused by Global Warming
2. "[By] 1995, the greenhouse effect would be desolating the heartlands of North America and Eurasia with horrific drought, causing crop failures and food riots…[By 1996] The Platte River of Nebraska would be dry, while a continent-wide black blizzard of prairie topsoil will stop traffic on interstates, strip paint from houses and shut down computers." Michael Oppenheimer, published in "Dead Heat," St. Martin's Press, 1990.
Actually if there are crop failures it is because of the cold and bad weather. And as far as the drought NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center shows that precipitation -- rain and snow -- has increased slightly over the century.
3. "Arctic specialist Bernt Balchen says a general warming trend over the North Pole is melting the polar ice cap and may produce an ice-free Arctic Ocean by the year 2000." Christian Science Monitor, June 8, 1972. In 2008 Dr. David Barber of Manitoba University said "We're actually projecting this year that the North Pole may be free of ice for the first time," (ignoring the many earlier times the Pole has been ice free).
Actually Arctic Ice, is thicker and temperatures are not rising.
4. "Using computer models, researchers concluded that global warming would raise average annual temperatures nationwide two degrees by 2010." Associated Press, May 15, 1989.Status of prediction: According to NASA, global temperature has increased by about 0.7 degrees Fahrenheit since 1989. And U.S. temperature has increased even less over the same period. And thats the NASA numbers which have been known to have a problem accuracy, because instead of collecting data from temperature stations, NASA makes assumptions regarding what the temperatures should be.
5. "By 1985, air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half." Life magazine, January 1970.
Life Magazine also noted that some people disagree, "but scientists have solid experimental and historical evidence to support each of the following predictions." With the possible exception of the atmosphere directly over congress, air quality has actually improved since 1970. Studies find that sunlight reaching the Earth fell by somewhere between 3 and 5 percent over the period in question.
6. "If present trends continue, the world will be ... eleven degrees colder by the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us in an ice age." Kenneth E.F. Watt, in "Earth Day," 1970. Remember before we were warned about global warming, we were told that the Earth was facing an Ice age.
7. "By the year 2000 the United Kingdom will be simply a small group of impoverished islands, inhabited by some 70 million hungry people ... If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000." Ehrlich, Speech at British Institute For Biology, September 1971.
Granted, Obama is no fan of our close friends across the pond, but according to today's news, England was still there.
8. "In ten years all important animal life in the sea will be extinct. Large areas of coastline will have to be evacuated because of the stench of dead fish." Ehrlich, speech during Earth Day, 1970
Maybe he was talking about the US Gulf Coast during the BP oil spill?
9. Al Gore sold his scary global warming film, An Inconvenient Truth, shown in almost every school in the country, with a poster of a terrible hurricane. Former US president Bill Clinton later gloated: "It is now generally recognized that while Al Gore and I were ridiculed, we were right about global warming. . . It's going to lead to more hurricanes."
Contrary to the hysterical nonsense being spewed by global warming experts, the past 50 years has been about the quietest on record for US hurricanes. The 1940s was the worst. Researchers at Florida State University concluded that the 2007 and 2008 hurricane seasons had the least tropical activity in the Northern Hemisphere in 30 years. This year there were plenty of hurricanes in the Atlantic, but they were generally weak and did not hit land. Pacific hurricanes were at a record low in 2010.
10. The Silly Stuff- Those Global Warming Moonbats figure out ways to blame the dumbest things on global warming. I call it the official crazy list of things Moonbats say global warming causes. The list contains, Incredible shrinking sheep, Invasion of jellyfish in the Mediterranean, Surge in fatal shark attack, Boy Scout tornado deaths, Severe acne, Global conflict, Beer tasting different, Suicide of farmers in Australia, Bigger tuna fish,Longer days, Shorter days, Collapse of gingerbread houses in Sweden, Cow infertility, UFO sightings in the UK, Rise in insurance premiums, and Heroin addiction and a rise in bear attacks in Japan and Frigid Cold Winters in Great Britain, and Cancer, Death from heart disease, diabetes, stroke, respiratory disease and even accidents, homicide, suicide,water -borne disease outbreaks,heavier, wetter snowstorms treacherous for travel and ambulation, Lyme disease, swarms of allergy-inducing, stinging insects, along with mosquitoes and devastating pine bark beetle infestations and the spread of forest and crop pests just to name a few.

TAWFIK HAMID, MD - THE CHALLENGE OF OUR TIMES: UNDERSTANDING AND DEFEATING RADICAL ISLAM!
Sunday, February 13, 2011, 7:30 p.m., Beth El Congregation, 1118 W. Glendale Ave, Phoenix
Dr. Tawfik Hamid is an Islamic thinker and reformer, and one time Islamic extremist from Egypt.

New Year's ResolutionsUSE MORE EFFECTIVE WORDS*****
As the new year comes upon us, most of us come up with projects for self-improvement, which typically center on health, exercise, relationships, or moral failings we want to address. I'd like to propose some ideas for what we in the movement to resist Islamic totalitarianism can do to advance...
1. What do we call what we're against? In a previous piece, I proposed revising the way we talk about sharia restrictions on "unbelievers" as "Islamic Apartheid." Since then, I've seen that others in our movement beat me to the punch, and have organized Islamic Apartheid Months. Good for them! The term "dhimmitude," while perfectly truthful and useful, sounds to outsiders like jargon. Indeed, one of the handicaps we face in the movement is the need to sling around so many Arabic words and Islamic concepts--which are in themselves distasteful to ordinary, non-multiculturalist Westerners. ....
... use the perfectly serviceable word "appeaser"
... "Muslim supremacists" is a good term for overtly political Muslims, and "peaceful Muslims" (Spencer's favored phrase) works well to describe ordinary people who don't even know that their religion is also a totalitarian ideology.
...I answer people who call me an Islamophobe by saying something like this: "Afraid of Islam and sharia? You're damned right I'm afraid. So are the Iraqi Christians who get gunned down in their churches, and the Pakistani Christians facing execution for blasphemy. I'm sure the victims of terrorism in New York and London were frightened, too. When you have to take off your shoes and belt at the airport, and get your whole body x-rayed before you can board a plane, who do you think the airlines are 'afraid' will blow up the plane--the Amish? The Mormons? The Hindus? If that's what it means to be an Islamophobe, then I guess you could call FBI agents 'crime-aphobes.' If Muslims want us to stop being scared of them, maybe they could--I dunno, stop oppressing and killing people around the world. That would make a really nice start."

Investigative Project on Terrorism News Conferences Make AMP's Destructive Ambition Clear IPT News
They call themselves American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), but their rhetoric indicates their true goal is the elimination of the state of Israel. In speeches last weekend at the Islamic Circle of North America-Muslim American Society 9th Annual Convention in Chicago, and a month earlier at their own conference, AMP officials repeatedly called for a grassroots effort in America to delegitimize Israel.
During a session featuring AMP speakers, board member Osama Abu Irshaid told the ICNA-MAS audience Sunday "to challenge the legitimacy of the State of Israel," and "to try to keep this debate alive."
Last month in New Brunswick, N.J., at AMP's 3rd annual conference, panelist Abdelhamid Abu Siyam ended his speech on a similar vein by calling in Arabic for "[the] right of return and rejection of Zionism, and rejection of the legitimacy of this state [Israel]."
American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) was formed in 2006 as a nonprofit organization based in Chicago with chapters around the country. Its message omits any mention of peaceful coexistence with the state of Israel, and routinely includes calls for an end for U.S. aid to the Jewish state.
During the opening of the AMP conference, Vice Chairman Munjed Ahmed welcomed the audience by threatening Israel. "You occupiers of Palestine will be out. That's a promise. You will be out," Ahmed said. "And we will work every single day as an organization until that day where we truly say that Palestine is free."
Calls for the destruction of the State of Israel were reinforced by promoting "resistance."
Jasser: America Will Benefit from Muslim Radicalization Hearings by IPT News
U.S. Islamist groups like the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) have reacted hyperbolically to news that the incoming chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Peter King (R-NY), plans to hold hearings on American Muslim radicalization.
But Zuhdi Jasser, president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, writes in the New York Post that critics of the hearings like MPAC, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) are attempting "to deny and obfuscate the connection between 'political Islam' or Islamism, and terror."
Political correctness dominates public discussion of incidents involving Islamists, Jasser writes. One example was the Pentagon report on Nidal Hasan, currently charged in last year's Fort Hood massacre.
"The report was intended to convey to military commanders whatever lessons were learned from the incident, so as to prevent similar attacks in the future," Jasser writes. "Yet it never mentioned the word Islam or Muslim. Nowhere to be found was any dissection of Hasan's slide into militant Islamism or of his relationship with his homegrown jihadist mentor, Imam Anwar Al-Awlaki."
Major American Muslim groups like CAIR, ISNA and MPAC were built on the ideology of political Islam. But "knowing where most American Muslims fall in the spectrum of Islamism-vs.- liberalism, as King hopes to find out in his hearings, would be a key step toward counterradicalization," Jasser writes.
Congressional hearings are just one step in crafting a strategy against political Islam.

Pattern is Prologue: The Rapture, Part 2: The Wedding Model by Chuck Missler *****
In this second article in our series on the Rapture, we will explore another reason why we favor a "pre-tribulation" view of the Harpz, the "snatching up" of the Church.
All through the Gospels, Jesus relied on the ancient Jewish wedding pattern for many of His parables, climaxing in His promise in the Upper Room in John 14 (as reviewed in our previous article). Many of us miss the full import of these allusions if we aren't familiar with the model of ancient Jewish wedding practices.

Daniel Greenfield article: Bloomberg's Snow Job
Had Mayor Bloomberg spent as much time preparing for a massive snowfall, as he did promoting the construction of the Ground Zero Mosque, New Yorkers might have been able to get to work, receive emergency help and be able to walk down the street without injury. But the Mayor who spent the summer lecturing us on everything from the salt content of our food to the evils of Islamophobia--ignored the one thing he should have actually been preparing for. Winter.
It's possible that Bloomberg's ideology fooled him into thinking that winter just wasn't coming this year. Back in 2008, he had compared Global Warming to the threat of terrorism, and focused the city's resources on buying into the eco-scam. Last winter, in response to his special Global Warming panel's alarmist claims of coastal flooding and higher temperatures in the city by 2080, the Mayor said, "We cannot wait until after our infrastructure has been compromised to begin to plan for the effects of climate change now."
And so last winter, instead of planning for the next winter, Bloomy began planning for the apocalyptic New York City of 2080, where everyone has to live on melted ice floes and battle for parking spots with marauding polar bears.
Bloomberg's incompetence highlights the danger of decision makers falling under the influence of the Global Warming scam. And now a woman is dead and many more are injured because municipal resources were diverted from preparing for an entirely predictable snowstorm, to preparing for an imaginary disaster toward the end of the century. We had ample warning, when the Mayor of the city that suffered the worst terrorist attack in the nation's history, announced in all seriousness that Global Warming was just as dangerous as terrorism. Now we have suffered a snowstorm, and we found out that city was unprepared. What happens if we were to suffer another 9/11. Does anyone seriously think that an administration obsessed with Global Warming will be ready?
ACTIVATING JIHAD [Excerpts] By Ryan Mauro
The Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) is reporting that two extremist groups in the U.S., Revolution Muslim and the Islamic Thinkers Society, are becoming "increasingly operational" and are violently carrying out their faith. Today's non-violent Islamic extremists are often tomorrow's terrorists. Groups seeking to replace democracy with Sharia-based governance are using our freedoms to create the Islamist swamp from which terrorists emerge.
"U.S. counter terror agencies have traditionally paid little attention to those groups, presumably because they represent a safe and legal outlet for the frustrations of young, aspiring Jihadists," the IPT explains.
‘WHO CARES WHERE OBAMA WAS BORN?’
International leftists and anti-American Democratic Socialists like MSNBC’s Chris Matthews(1) care, that’s who! These folks are the real “birthers,” desperate to prove that Obama is US born, with absolutely no help from their political messiah.
They care where Obama was born because they want to make the issue of presidential constitutional eligibility all about birth place, aka “native-born” status, instead of “natural-born” status, which has nothing to do with birth place. Leftists want anyone “born on US soil” to be eligible for the office of president, including “anchor babies” and even 14th Amendment citizens, none of whom are “natural-born citizens” of the United States. They want to rewrite Article II – Section I – Clause V via precedent and so far, they are doing a fine job of doing just that!

"There's nothing wrong with Edison's light bulb. It's a great iconic invention, the embodiment of American dynamism of the 19th century, and what did we do in the 21st century? We banned it. And as a result every time you break a light bulb you need to have a mason jar, a set of playing cards, rubber gloves, throw mats… The pansy left solved a problem that didn't exist." - Steyn
China Prepares for Armed Conflict "In Every Direction"
China is preparing for conflict 'in every direction', the defence minister said on Wednesday in remarks that threaten to overshadow a visit to Beijing by his US counterpart next month.
"In the coming five years, our military will push forward preparations for military conflict in every strategic direction," said Liang Guanglie in an interview published by several state-backed newspapers in China. "We may be living in peaceful times, but we can never forget war, never send the horses south or put the bayonets and guns away," Mr Liang added.
China repeatedly says it is planning a "peaceful rise" but the recent pace and scale of its military modernisation has alarmed many of its neighbours in the Asia-Pacific, including Japan which described China's military build-up as a "global concern" this month...
China also announced this month that it was preparing to launch its own aircraft carrier next year in a signal that China is determined to punch its weight as a rising superpower. The news came a year earlier than many US defence analysts had predicted. What does Beijing know that Washington doesn't?
China Has Carrier-killer Missile
China's military is deploying a new anti-ship ballistic missile that can sink U.S. aircraft carriers, a weapon that specialists say gives Beijing new power-projection capabilities that will affect U.S. support for its Pacific allies.
Adm. Robert F. Willard, commander of the U.S. Pacific Command, disclosed to a Japanese newspaper on Sunday that the new anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) is now in the early stages of deployment after having undergone extensive testing.
"An analogy using a Western term would be 'initial operational capability (IOC),' whereby I think China would perceive that it has an operational capability now, but they continue to develop it," Adm. Willard told the Asahi Shimbun. "I would gauge it as about the equivalent of a U.S. system that has achieved IOC."
The four-star admiral, who has been an outspoken skeptic of China's claims that its large-scale military buildup is peaceful, said the U.S. deployment assessment is based on China's press reports and continued testing.
Yep, now is the right time to reduce U.S. missile defenses.
"History's Challenge" - The Communist Party USA Tell their Own Story
An interesting Communist Party USA self promotional documentary from the mid 1990s.
Some silly propaganda re party recruitment numbers, but over all pretty accurate. The party has been been (and remains) a largely hidden but very significant force in U.S. politics.
The Communist party designed "Jobs Bill" scam mentioned half way through, by Marilyn Bechtel was sponsored by more than twenty far left Democrats, many of whom, such as Barbara Lee, Danny Davis, Bobby Rush, Jim McDermott and Rosa DeLauro are still in Congress today. A good insight into how the enemies of liberty justify their destructive activity.

Atlas Shrugs THE SS MULLAH SCHOOL DRESDEN, "THE IMAM INSTITUTE," AND ISLAMIC ANTI-SEMITISM
Much thanks to Roger, who was visiting Dresden, Germany, recently and took an excellent audio tour of sites related to the Jewish Holocaust. He sent me a link to the recordings.
Please listen to the clip concerning an SS school for Mullahs that existed there in 1944, set up by Himmler and Muslim leader Al-Husseini. The recording is about 11 m long. The Islamic world aligned with The Third Reich, an alliance that has largely been whitewashed from the pages of history. The Nazis were given no such free pass, and shouldn't have been; why has the Islamic alliance with them been ignored? Many Muslims fought on the German side during World War II. The Wehrmacht had six legions with a Muslim majority and the SS had three Muslim divisions, a brigade and a Waffenbrigade. Each Muslim unit got a mullah as an adviser. In November 1944, an SS mullah school was established in Dresden, founded by Himmler.

“Atheism, not religion, is the real force behind the mass murders of history.”—Dinesh D’Souza
“The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation – enlightened as it is – if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men.”—Samuel Adams (1722-1803)

Climate Change Debacle: A Product Of Ignoring Failure And Negative Results By Dr. Tim Ball
There are two sides to every story. The Chinese express it as Yin and Yang represented by a symbol.
Yin is black and Yang white, but the dots indicate nothing is purely one or the other. Many react with cultural bias by assuming white is good and black is bad.
The idea of balance is possibly one of the greatest victims of political correctness. It has distorted climate science, because they only considered one side and refused to follow the scientific method.

Ham and Other Troublesome Topics in Class by David J. Rusin
Muslims are free not to eat pork products, but must they be protected from hearing about them? Yes, according to one high school student in Spain who was distressed by a geography lesson:
The teacher was lecturing normally on the different climates of the planet and used the Granada town of Trevélez as an example of a cold, dry climate. As an anecdote, the teacher recounted that just such a climate was conducive to the curing of hams. Then the student asked the teacher not to speak of hams since the subject offended him as a Muslim.
In a bizarre video, the student explains how talk of ham so traumatized him that he cannot get out of bed. He also accuses the teacher of telling him to leave Spain, which the educator denies. The family went so far as to lodge a complaint with police, but a clear-minded prosecutor quickly shelved it. "There is not even the minimal indication of any type of crime," he said, describing the teen's attitude as "abusive, sectarian, capricious, and inadmissible."

Delegitimizing the Jewish State by Bat Ye'or Middle East Quarterly
In a move that caught the Israeli government and the Jewish world by complete surprise, on October 21, 2010, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared the Tomb of the Hebrew Patriarchs in Hebron and Rachel's Tomb in Bethlehem "an integral part of the occupied Palestinian territories," admonishing the Israeli decision to add these biblical shrines to the list of Jewish historical and archaeological sites as "a violation of international law."[1] The United Nations has become a foremost purveyor of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic incitement. Nowhere has this obsession been more starkly demonstrated than at the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia, and Related Intolerance, held in September 2001 in the South African town of Durban.
What is less known, however, is that the driving force behind "the attempt to detach the Nation of Israel from its heritage" (to use Israeli prime minister Netanyahu's words)[2] was the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), which pressured UNESCO to issue the declaration and drafted its initial version.[3] U.N. secretary-general Ban Ki-moon has recently described the OIC as "a strategic and important partner of the U.N."[4] In fact, it has been the OIC that has successfully exploited its marked preponderance at the U.N.—where it constitutes the largest single voting bloc—to turn the world organization and its specialized agencies into effective tools in the attempt to achieve its goals, two of which are to bring about Israel's eventual demise and to "galvanize the umma [Islamic world] into a unified body."

He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house;
but he that hateth gifts shall live.
The heart of the righteous studieth to answer:
but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul:
but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom;
and before honour is humility.

True Education
"For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him." (Genesis 18:19)
This is a very important verse comprising the first direct reference in the Bible to what we today would call education, and it is given in connection with God's approving testimony concerning Abraham. Note that nothing is said concerning degrees or diplomas, the sciences or humanities, school buildings or textbooks.
It does tell us that God's highest priority in the training of the young is that they learn to "keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment." Such instruction is the responsibility of the home, especially the father--not of the government or some educational association. It is to be given in the context of God's promises and plans (thus in the context of divine revelation) and is to be framed in terms of "commands."
This is also the teaching of the New Testament: "Fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4).
The Bible never refers to "education," but there are many references to teaching, learning, and instruction. There are no references to teaching under the sponsorship of the government, however. As far as biblical precepts and examples are concerned, teaching the young is strictly a function of the home and the church (this could no doubt include several homes and churches cooperating in the provision of advanced or specialized instruction). Most importantly, all instruction, in every subject, should be governed by biblical criteria, for "All Scripture . . . is profitable . . . for instruction. . . . That the man of God may be perfect |i.e., 'fully prepared'|" (2 Timothy 3:16-17) for the work God wants him to do. HMM

Daniel Greenfield article: Who's Afraid of Israeli Democracy?
Haven't you heard, Israeli democracy is in danger. That's the latest media talking point on Israel. And where is the threat to Israeli democracy coming from? From its democracy. Confused? That's probably because you think that the word 'democracy' has something to do with the popular vote and the right of every person, irrespective of their religion, country of origin or accent to vote for the party of their choice. As misguided as the vote may be. When it actually means the right of media pundits, academics and elitist judges to dictate how the country is run based on the values of a entitled upper class scrambling to hold on to power.
Out of their concern for Israeli democracy, the American media and the Obama Administration have been pressuring Netanyahu to "broaden" his coalition by replacing the Shas party of Middle Eastern Jews and the Israel is Our Home party of Russian immigrants, with the Kadima party. Traditionally calls for a broader coalition usually mean one that represents more of the country. But due to their fear for "Israeli democracy", this is actually a call for a coalition that represents fewer sectors of the country.
Liberals who usually value diversity in everything, want to close the door on a broad coalition in Israel. Why? Because Middle Eastern Jews and Russian immigrants tend to be right-wing, and diversity is only a legitimate value when it serves to promote the left. But when the right wins elections, suddenly the pundits rush to their keyboards to type out an urgent telegraphic warning. DEMOCRACY THREATENED BY DEMOCRACY. STOP. DEMOCRACY MUST BE ABOLISHED TO PRESERVE DEMOCRACY. STOP. But if democracy threatens democracy, it's not democracy that's under fire. It's the insistence of a small group of powerful people on getting their way regardless of what the public wants.
Egyptian Journalist 'Ata Abd Al-Aal: 'The U.S. Will Be Transformed into an Islamic Republic'; The Most Important Place For the Future of Islam, After Mecca And Medina, is the U.S.
In a recent TV interview, Egyptian journalist 'Ata Abd Al-Aal, said that ultimately "the U.S. [will] be transformed into an Islamic republic." Abd Al-Aal told the Egyptian Al-Rahma/Al-Rawdha TV that the rate of conversion to Islam in the U.S. is very high, which is "of great alarm to the Zionist circles in the U.S.," and is rising "on a daily basis."
In the interview, which aired on December 12, 2010, Abd Al-Aal, a journalist for the Al-Ahram government daily, who visited the U.S. in 2002,[1] said that the da'wa institutions in Islamic countries should stop inciting Muslim communities in the U.S. to refrain from taking part in elections, and should instead send preachers familiar with the American mentality and better equipped to encourage conversion to Islam.

Palestinian President Salam Fayyad says his state will be ready by summer 2011.
A serious new threat to the peace and security of Israel and the people of the epicenter is rapidly emerging — the prospect that the Palestinian leadership will unilaterally declare their own independent, sovereign state as early as the summer of 2011, and attempt to divide Jerusalem, and that the world will try to force Israel to accept this new state rather than require the Palestinians to sit down and negotiate a fair and just arrangement that both sides can accept.

Planned Parenthood murderously destroyed 324,008 not yet born babies in 2008-2009! And in their deceitfully named "women's care clinics" -- do you know how many adoption referrals were made, nationwide? 2,405!
Planned Parenthood, contrary to their "women's" propaganda, is above all else a provider and purveyor of abortion -- a big, bloody, profitable business of murder mills planted in communities and neighborhoods across America which alone received $363 million in government grants and contracts funded from your tax dollars during 2008 to 2009. Even more disgusting is that these numbers are only going to get worse given Obama's sanction of federally-funded abortions.

Durban III: Time for the U.S. to Defund the UN? by Roger L Simon, PAJAMAS MEDIA
When I was a kid, I thought the United Nations was the most righteous and positively idealistic organization in the world. It was the hope of humanity and I worshipped it. (My father — a doctor — volunteered for WHO and I would accompany him to the New York headquarters about once a month, gawking at the colorful Third World costumes and wishing I could speak French, la langue diplomatique.)
Man, times have changed. I now regard the UN as a kind of global racket with three principal, often related, areas of, in Mafia style, special interest: propaganda for totalitarian countries, massive corruption (e.g. Oil-for-Food) and spying. ...
Daniel Greenfield article: The Addiction of Anti-Americanism
Like a Rorschach test which tells you more about the patient, than about the image on the card, Wikileaks reveals more about the left than it does about America. And what it reveals is that the left's antipathy toward America is not policy based at all. If Wikileaks' heavily edited helicopter video at least allowed the left to pretend that it was opposing American war crimes, the leaked diplomatic cables are based on nothing more than opposing American diplomacy. Not even the capital D diplomacy, but the small letter diplomacy. The minor observations, petty notes and random scribbles of a bored diplomatic corps observing well known situations.
See No Sharia Mindslaughter by Andrew Bostom
Robert Conquest, the pre-eminent scholar of Soviet Communist totalitarianism, in his elucidation of Western vulnerability to totalitarian ideologies, wrote that democracy itself is, “far less a matter of institutions than habits of mind”—the latter being subject to constant “stresses and strains.” He then notes the disturbingly widespread acceptance of totalitarian concepts amongst the ordinary citizens of pluralist Western societies.
Many in the West gave their full allegiance to these alien beliefs. Many others were at any rate not ill disposed towards them. And beyond that there was…a sort of secondary infection of the mental atmosphere of the West which still to some degree persists, distorting thought in countries that escaped the more wholesale disasters of our time. ...

Hot Air EPA, Texas go to war over carbon-emission rules BY ED MORRISSEY
And so it begins, and on the most fertile red-state territory in the nation. Texas, which got four more seats in the House through the 2010 Census reapportionment, has had its air-quality rules superceded by the EPA as part of its aggressive new action on carbon emissions. Governor Rick Perry promises a fight:
MUSLIMS PLANNED CHRISTMAS BOMBINGS OF LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, BIG BEN, WESTMINSTER ABBEY They are at war with us. They mean to destroy us. It is what is commanded of them. Destroy us. Without humanity. Without remorse. Without apology. And yet we can't stop apologizing and pretending that there is no war, that we are not under attack every day, and that our lives have not been turned upside down, inside out, and irrevocably altered by Islamic jihad.
American Thinker Islamic Supremacists Envision a Takeover of the Internet Pamela Geller, American Thinker
It was hardly noticed at the time, but its consequences could be catastrophic. Late last September, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which assigns internet domain names, approved a huge change in the way it operates. Europe and North America will now have five seats on its Board of Directors, instead of ten, and a new "Arab States" region will have five seats as well.
How big a deal is this? ICANN at the same time took a reference to "terrorism" out of its Draft Applicant Guidebook. Why? Because Arab groups complained. And so now jihad terror websites can grow and prosper, as ICANN has removed its own ability to police them.
This has been a long time coming.
Back in October 2009, I warned of a seismic transformation in internet regulation and free speech. Under the transnational-happy Obama administration, the U.S. relinquished control of the net at that time. ICANN ended its agreement with the U.S. government. ...

Chinese Prepare to Slash Exports of “Rare Earth” Minerals to US for Second Time in 12 Months – Bad News for Anyone With an iPhone or Suncatcher.Reuters (12/28) reports, “China cut its first batch of rare earth export quotas for next year by more than one-tenth, in the face of a threat by the United States to complain to the World Trade Organization over the export limits. China's Commerce Ministry allotted 14,446 tonnes of quotas to 31 companies, which was 11.4 percent less than the 16,304 tonnes it allocated to 22 companies in the first batch of 2010 quotas a year ago. The Ministry said in a short statement on its website that it had added more producer companies to the quota list, but has cut volumes allocated to trading companies for the metals used in high-tech goods. The export quotas were based on export volumes from the beginning of 2008 to October 2010, it added, without giving details. China produces about 97 percent of rare earth elements, which are used worldwide in high-technology, clean energy and other products that exploit their special properties for magnetism, luminescence and strength. The decision to cut export quotas and raise tariffs has inflamed trade ties with the United States, European Union and Japan in particular. Last week, the U.S. Trade Representative office said China had refused U.S. requests to end export restraints on rare earths that have alarmed trade partners, and that Washington could complain to the WTO, which judges international trade disputes. Note: This is another resourse we HAVE in the USA but our own government won't let us mine!!!!
Deniers: Interior Dept. Continues to Deny Existence of “Permitorium” on Offshore Energy – But Thanks to This Piece in Today’s Chron, That Lie Is About to Die.Houston Chronicle (12/28) reports, “When federal officials lifted the ban on deep-water drilling in early October, Houston-based ATP Oil & Gas was ready to roll. The small production company was finishing up work on a well that tied into its Telemark production hub about 100 miles south of the mouth of the Mississippi River. It had filed a permit to drill a sidetrack off an existing well — a relatively low-risk proposal for the world of deep-water drilling. It was even revised and updated to meet all of the new requirements imposed on deep- water permits in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon accident. “So I kept the crew out there because I felt certain the government meant what it said,” ATP Chairman and CEO Paul Bulmahn said – that permit applications that met the new guidelines would be granted. More than 70 days later, the company is still waiting. At a price of about $330,000 per day, Bulmahn has started to get impatient, leading him to take some actions unusual for the company. He wrote a personal letter to President Barack Obama – copied to Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and Michael Bromwich, director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement – pleading with him to “Please issue a permit so we can go back to work.” And on Sunday he ran the letter as an advertisement in the Chronicle. “I can’t afford to keep these workers employed and playing cards,” Bulmahn said.

The Majestic Scriptures, a Guide to the Jewish Nation's Survival December 28, 2010 By Nurit Greenger
I find Judaism to be a fascinating religion. I find the Torah and Bible to be a master piece, written by a genius mind. I once heard that all the answers to all one's questions are 'buried' in the Torah and Bible's fascinating story lines, written in enriched Hebrew language.
I often attend Shabbat morning's service at a most orthodox synagogue. Each week observant Jews read a chapter from the Torah, named the "Portion of the Week"-"פרשת השבוע" and they complete the reading of the Torah, in its entirety, each year.
The Torah and the Bible contain many riddles that are hard to comprehend or see through. The sort of wisdom of thinking one can extract from reading the Torah and the Bible, written in an expressively rich, rather ancient, Hebrew language, much of its words are not used in the modern Hebrew language the Israelis speak, is the 'mind boggling' kind. Many times the readings apply and relate to current, Jewish and world events.
On Saturday, December 25, 2010, 18 Tevet- יח טבת Jews read from the Book of Shemot-Exodus-שמות-Portion of the Week, Shemot-"פרשת השבוע" that tells the story of Moses being assigned by God's to take His people, the Israelite out of their bondage in Egypt. (http://www.mechon-mamre.org/i/t/t0203.htm). While doing the reading, I became rather fascinated by two sentences:
יג וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה אֶל-הָאֱלֹהִים, הִנֵּה אָנֹכִי בָא אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְאָמַרְתִּי לָהֶם, אֱלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵיכֶם שְׁלָחַנִי אֲלֵיכֶם; וְאָמְרוּ-לִי מַה-שְּׁמוֹ, מָה אֹמַר אֲלֵהֶם. יד וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים אֶל-מֹשֶׁה, אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה;
כא וְנָתַתִּי אֶת-חֵן הָעָם-הַזֶּה, בְּעֵינֵי מִצְרָיִם; וְהָיָה כִּי תֵלֵכוּן, לֹא תֵלְכוּ רֵיקָם.כב וְשָׁאֲלָה אִשָּׁה מִשְּׁכֶנְתָּהּ וּמִגָּרַת בֵּיתָהּ, כְּלֵי-כֶסֶף וּכְלֵי זָהָב וּשְׂמָלֹת; וְשַׂמְתֶּם, עַל-בְּנֵיכֶם וְעַל-בְּנֹתֵיכֶם, וְנִצַּלְתֶּם, אֶת-מִצְרָיִם.
Translation:
13. And Moses said to God, here I come to the children of Israel and I tell them, the God of your fathers has sent me to you; And they say to me what is His name, what do I say to them. 14. And God said to Moses, I'll be who I shall be;
21. And I gave the like of this Nation in the eyes of Egypt, so when you depart, you will not leave empty handed. 22. And a woman will borrow from her neighbor and from the one living in her house silverware and gold-ware and dresses; and thou shall put it on your sons and daughters; and thou shall exploit Egypt.
I do not know when exactly the words' of God were put onto a papyrus, a parchment, or paper and were named Torah or Bible. But already then, in ancient times, He guided his 'chosen children' to have the total confidence in His immortal being: "I'll be who I shall be" were His word to Moses. No need for explanation, no question of doubt shall be put forward; take it as it is and just wait to see what unravels. He will not let you down. And then, "and thou shall exploit Egypt." Though Egypt was the enslaver, do not fear exploiting it, using it, on your way out. Just like then, Israel's today enemies must be utilized in Israel's favor.
Such examples of wisdom and hundreds, if not thousands others, Jews should know as they were written to serve as, "a guide to the Jewish Nation's survival."
The Core Fallacies By Emmanuel Navon
Most diplomats and journalists repeat at will that Israel and the Palestinians need to address the “core issues” such as borders and refugees in order to make peace. Yet on both issues, historical and legal fallacies have become the conventional wisdom. ... Note: "Western diplomats and journalists must ask themselves why they tolerate this Arab intolerance. They must also be taken to task for laundering Palestinian propaganda. For none of the “core issues” will be solved as long as they are based on historical and legal falsifications."

What to expect in the peace process By Ted Belman Israel has made a switch from concessions based diplomacy (its about time) to security based diplomacy. So I was informed when I attended a panel discussion in Jerusalem which was organized by Hadar-Israel.
The panelists included Maj-Gen (ret) Amidror, Maj. Gen. (res) Uzi Dayan and Amb Dore Gold. It was chaired by Dan Diker. It was a great evening. These people are at the top of their game and know what they are talking about.
Amidror focused on rejecting an international force as our security blanket arguing that the last thing Israel needs is for American soldiers to go home in coffins. Besides only the IDF will fight the terrorists in defense of Israel. History teaches us this.
In this context he dropped a bomb. He made it absolutely clear that Israel was not asking the US to bomb Iran. How did he know? “We’re making plans to do it ourselves”. No way did he want Israel to seen in need of US protection.
Dayan dealt with our need for defensible...
The Government of Israel Has Abandoned Israeli Civilians to Terror By Moshe Arens Rockets are a terror weapon

The wars of 2011 By CAROLINE B. GLICK
Israel must be prepared for two things this upcoming year: A missile war with Hamas and a political war with Fatah.
On Sunday thousands of Israel haters gathered in Istanbul to welcome the Turkish-Hamas terror ship Mavi Marmara to the harbor. Festooned with Palestinian flags, the crowd chanted “Death to Israel,” “Down with Israel” and “Allah akbar” with Hizbullah-like enthusiasm.
The Turkish protesters promised to stand on the side of Hamas when it next goes to war with Israel. They may not have to wait long to keep their promise. Over the past two weeks Hamas has steeply escalated its missile war with over 30 launches. Last week, a missile that narrowly missed a nursery school wounded a young girl.

The BEST things in life aren't THINGS
Ignore your kids By John Rosemond Gift your children a liberating, priceless experience
Here's something you already know, but don't know you know: Children love to be ignored. Mind you, I'm not talking about neglect. I'm talking about ignored, as in being seen and not heard, out from underfoot, free to do their own thing without adults hovering neurotically over them making sure everything in their lives is all right and meaningful from moment to moment.
These days, the problem is that the overwhelming majority of American children have never experienced the benefits and blessings of being ignored; therefore, they don't know that being ignored is the preferable state of affairs. These children have been the center of attention in their families from day one. So, having learned that being the center of attention is essential to their well-being, they can't tolerate being ignored; therefore, they clamor in various ways for attention. In this regard, appearances can be deceiving. Some attention-addicts clamor for attention by being boisterous, interrupting conversations, and the like. Other attention-addicts clamor for attention by acting like they are pitiful. The latter get adults to hover over them, asking solicitous questions like, "Is everything all right?" and "Is there something you need to talk about?"

Sustainable Communities - A Transformation of Virginia DONNA HOLT *******
As Governor McDonnell's plans for sustainable development, referred to as "sustainable communities", continues to gain momentum, it is worthwhile to step back and take a long look at the big picture, painted with a broad brush to reveal what Virginia might look like as his vision for the Commonwealth is more fully implemented over the next 20 years or so.
The picture painted here is based on official documents published by countless government agencies and non-government organizations during the past two decades as public policy for the transformation of our great nation for a "Sustainable America". These documents were rarely reported in the news, and average working people have no idea what sustainable development really means, and even less knowledge of what is in store for the future. If the vision of sustainable development continues to unfold as it has in the last decade, life in the Commonwealth and the rest of the nation will be quite different in the future. Sustainable Communities: The Vision Half the land area of Virginia and the entire United States will be designated "wilderness areas," where only wildlife managers and researchers will be allowed. These areas will be interconnected by "corridors of wilderness" to allow migration of wildlife, without interference by human activity. Wolves will be as plentiful in Virginia as they are now in Idaho and Montana. ...
... Consequences of Sustainable Development
What is perhaps the most serious consequence of sustainable development is the least visible: the transformation of the policy-making process. The idea that government is empowered by the consent of the governed is the idea that set the United States apart from all previous forms of government. It is the principle that unleashed individual creativity and free markets, which launched the spectacular rise of the world's most successful nation. The idea, and the process by which citizens can reject laws they don't want, simply by replacing the officials who enacted them, makes the ballot box the source of power for every citizen, and the point of accountability for every politician.
When public policy is made by elected officials who are accountable to the people who are governed, then government is truly empowered by the consent of the governed. Sustainable development has designed a process through which public policy is designed by professionals and bureaucrats, and implemented administratively, with only symbolic, if any, participation by elected officials and the public. The professionals and bureaucrats who actually make the policies are not accountable to the people who are governed by them. ...
Insurgents: Obama Must 'Embrace Islam'

Daniel Greenfield article: EXCLUSIVE: Allahu Akbar and Ho, Ho, Ho
"A flag bearing a crescent and star flies from a flagpole in front of the World Trade Center, next to a Christmas tree and a menorah." New York Times, 1997
In 1997, Mohammed T. Mehdi, head of the Arab-American Committee and the National Council on Islamic Affairs, lobbied to have a crescent and star go up at the World Trade Center during the holiday season. His wish was granted, despite the fact that Mehdi had been an adviser to Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, the religious leader behind the original bombing of the World Trade Center. Long before the Ground Zero Mosque was even a twinkle in the eye of a violent ex-waiter and a slumlord Imam, the World Trade Center allowed Mohammed T. Mehdi to bully it into flying the symbol of Islam.
By 1997, Mohammed T. Mehdi had become an unambiguously ugly public figure. He had been fired by Mayor Dinkins in 1992 for anti-Semitic remarks. The year before he had proclaimed that, "Millions of Arabs believe Saddam stands tall having defied Western colonialism". In 1995, the US Attorney's Office in New York had listed Mehdi as one of the unindicted co-conspirators in the trial of Sheik Rahman. Mehdi had already published a book titled "Kennedy and Sirhan: Why?", which argued that Robert Kennedy's assassin had been acting in self-defense.
Considering Mehdi's role in actively working on behalf of the Sheik behind the wave of terrorism that included the original attack on the World Trade Center, if the WTC should have turned down anyone's request for an Islamic symbol at the site, turning down Mehdi should have been a no brainer. And yet when all was said and done, in the winter of 1997 there was an Islamic star and crescent at the World Trade Center. And another one at the park in front of the White House. No one in the media thought it at all odd, that a man who had a long record of blatantly supporting terrorists should get his way. They thought it was just great....

"That very, very controversial provision that was in the original House and Senate versions of Obamacare that called for the government paying doctors, using Medicare money, to discuss 'end of life options' with patients was taken out of the final bill.

My Son The Terrorist: The Case of the Swedish Iraqi Suicide Bomber Nancy Kobrin, PhD, Joan Lachkar, PhD When parents name their child after tyrants and aggressors, have they helped to push that child towards violent and antisocial goals? ...
... Yet, the Swedish suicide bomber’s in-laws and wife experienced this nice guy differently. Indeed, his father-in-law went on record saying that he was grateful for his son-in-law's death because now his daughter could have freedom from brainwashing and his control. Do you mean to tell us that her father could not even do an intervention on behalf of his very own daughter, that he had to let her succumb to chronic brutality?? Good grief -- his daughter was terrorized by his son-in-law. This is not unusual in Muslim society where the father does not protect the woman, let alone his daughters, often as a defense against shame and saving face in an honor society. The extreme, of course, is the honor killing of the daughter. Once again, we highlight another unspoken link between domestic violence and jihadi violence, a link that few counter terrorists want to explore. In our opinion it is because it is too terrorizing, even for the experts. However, Taimour is not like every other nice young man as the press or friends of the mosque would like to describe because it is he who carried out a suicide attack. ...
Accuracy In Media Media Excuse Obama’s Power Grab By Cliff Kincaid The account simply assumes that the Obama Administration can do what it wants, no matter what Congress or the law says. This kind of matter-of-fact reporting about lawlessness by the federal government is typical of the decline, if not death, of adversary journalism in the nation’s capital.
Atlas Shrugs THOUSANDS GREET GZM RAUF GROUP-FINANCED TURKISH JIHAD DEATH SHIP, MAVI MARMARA; CHANT "DEATH TO ISRAEL"
Scenes from the Turkish warship: Jihad flotilla Muslims et al chanted the Islamic battle cry invoking the killing of Jews. The name Khaibar, mentioned in the battle cry, was the last Jewish village defeated by Muhammad's army in 628. The battle marked the end of Jewish presence in Arabia. There are Muslims who see that as a precursor for future wars against Jews. At gatherings and rallies of extremists, this chant is often heard as a annihilationist threat to Jews, telling them to expect to be defeated and killed again by Muslims.
TURKISH MUSLIM TROOPS STOP CHURCH SERVICES IN CYPRUS ON CHRISTMAS, DEFROCK PRIESTS
More Islamic supremacism from the reislamicized Turks with imperialistic aspirations of an Ottoman Empire. The local Cyprus TV and radio are reporting since Christmas evening that troops in northern occupied Cyprus entered at least seven Greek Orthodox churches, stopped the worship services, threw out the people, and in at least one case forced a priest to remove his clerical dress.
Why are the Muslims occupying Cyprus? Dreams of an Armenian genocide redux?
American Thinker No Comparison: Shariah and Jewish Religious Courts By Rabbi Aryeh Spero
Many stealth jihadists pushing to have Shariah law instead of American civil law govern American Islamic communities are making the preposterous claim that Shariah Courts are similar to Jewish religious courts that observant Jews often use to adjudicate intra-community disputes. This is entirely inaccurate given that Shariah has as its goal the replacement of American law with Shariah, whereas Beit Din, Jewish religious court, limits its purview and has no intent or desire to flout American law.

Governments Prepare For Warming as Solar Activity Declines And Cooling Continues By Dr. Tim Ball
A British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) story links the current weather with that of the Little Ice Age (LIA). They begin as follows; Astronomers have reported that the Sun is at its dimmest for almost a century.
It’s remarkable from the BBC because they’ve consistently pushed the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) position that the sun has nothing to do with global warming or climate change.
Solar changes are responsible for most climate variations from cyclical changes in Sun/Earth relationships (the Milankovitch Effect), to changes in electromagnetic radiation (heat and light), to changes in cloud cover caused by varying cosmic radiation controlled by changing solar magnetism.

Who Will Remember the Palestinians?***** Israel should relocate the Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank to the Arab world by Bill Levinson
The Palestinians are, by Arab design, an open wound in Israel’s body that the Arabs and their left-wing enablers deliberately keep open to bleed Israel dry no matter how many years it takes. Israel needs to close this wound by removing a good two out of three Palestinians from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, with the minority that is willing and able to live in peace being allowed and even encouraged to remain.
Most of the world already falsely accuses Israel of ethnic cleansing and other atrocities. If the world is going to punish you unjustly for something you didn’t do, you may as well do that something and it is past time for Israel to take off the gloves. Ethnic cleansing or even genocide is a crime against humanity only if you end up on the losing side. Hitler was unfortunately right when he said, “Who remembers the Armenians?” and it is telling that...

Slavery in Muslim-Majority Countries by Daniel Pipes
In which Muslim-majority countries does slavery remain a problem? Here's an alphabetical listing of this phenomenon, with additions as appropriate: Afghanistan: Mostly concerns boys.
Mauritania: Slavery remains a major institution.
Pakistan: Mostly a rural phenomenon.
Saudi Arabia: Despite a 1962 law banning the practice, it remains in place. A leading theologian even states that to reject Shar'i slavery is not to be a Muslim.
Sudan: Chattel slavery returned in force with civil war in the 1990s.
Yemen: As in Saudi Arabia – a 1962 legal abolishment has not been fully effective.

On December 20th a video showed a consequence of the name-calling tactic used by many Muslim leaders, organizations and their allies, who frequently allege “racism” and “Islamophobia” at the slightest hint of criticism of Islam.
Were it not for a video camera, an Australian police officer’s career might well have been ruined thanks to false and malicious charges of racism leveled against him by a burqa-clad Muslim woman.
Today we bring you another disturbing video, courtesy of MEMRI, of a woman in Sudan receiving a lashing by two government officers. (Please note there are graphic and disturbing images in this video). The Governor of Khartoum describes what happened as Islamic punishment carried out by a court of law. This is the consequence of the implementation of sharia law.

Daniel Greenfield article: Obama Has Lost the World*******
After the 2010 elections, it's not exactly news that Obama has lost America. But in a less public referendum, he also lost the world. Obama's cocktail party tour of the world's capitals may look impressive on a map, but is irrelevant on a policy level. In less than two years, the White House has gone from being the center of world leadership to being irrelevant, from protecting world freedom to serving as a global party planning committee.
Even the Bush Administration's harshest critics could never have credibly claimed that George W. Bush was irrelevant. He might have been hated, pilloried and shouted about-- but he couldn't be ignored. However Obama can be safely ignored. Invited to parties, given the chance to show off his cosmopolitan sophisticated by reciting one or two words in the local lingo, read off a teleprompter, along with some cant about the need for everyone to pull together and make the world a better place, and then dismissed for the rest of the evening.
As a world leader, he makes a passable party guest. He has a broad smile, brings along his own gifts and is famous in the way that celebrities, rather than prime ministers and presidents are famous. On an invitation list, he is more Bono than Sarkozy, Leonardo DiCaprio not Putin. You don't invite him to talk turkey, not even on Thanksgiving. He's just one of those famous people with a passing interest in politics who gets good media attention, but who has nothing worthwhile to say. The only countries who take Obama seriously, are the ones who have to. The leaders of Great Britain, Israel and Japan-- who have tied their countries to an enduring alliance with America based on mutual interests and values, only to discover that the latest fellow to sit behind the Oval Office desk no longer shares those values and couldn't give less of a damn about American interests. It's no wonder that European leaders ignore him as much as possible. Or that Netanyahu visited America, while Obama was abroad. Or that Japanese politics have become dangerously unstable. ....

Leftists Caught Red-Handed: ‘Burning Sheep’ Libel Was Faked by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
A Jordan Valley Arab farmer has exposed the tactic of leftists accepting Arab claims and falsely accusing Jews of attacking Arabs. He admitted that the “burning sheep” libel against Jews was meant to disguise his own blunder of losing control of a brush fire.
Last week, left-wing groups in Israel and counterparts in the United States spread a story that that an Arab shepherd “saw settlers light a fire in the field where his herd was grazing, burning to death 12 pregnant ewes, and then drive away."
The story of the sheep burning was so extreme that the police immediately doubted the claim. The supposed burning of the sheep occurred on the Sabbath, when observant Jews, the usual scapegoats, are forbidden to drive. ...

[PA TV (Fatah), Dec. 21, 2010]
From the context it seems that he was referring to the first Intifada, Palestinian violence which started in 1987.

Hizbullah's Throne of Bayonets By Jonathan Spyer
It is obvious that given the true balance of power in Lebanon, the special tribunal investigating the murder of former prime minister Rafik Hariri is largely a virtual exercise. As Michael Young pointed out in a column in the Beirut Daily Star this week, tribunal prosecutor Daniel Bellemare is currently on his end of year vacation and left without submitting draft indictments. This means that indictments cannot be issued before mid-January at the earliest.
... More importantly, why the stark and repeated threats from Hizbullah and Iranian officials regarding the consequences if the Tribunal is not abandoned?
Hizbullah this week reiterated its promise to "cut off the hand" of anyone trying to arrest members of the movement. Many analysts saw the recent visit of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Lebanon as an act of preemptive intimidation. He was reminding Hizbullah's opponents just how strong it is, and just how determined its backers. ...
Son of Mubarak: Succession Without Success? By Barry Rubin
Some of the more interesting Wikileaks concern the U.S. diplomatic perspective on the succession in Egypt from President Husni Mubarak to his son, Gamal. Let's remember that Egypt is the single most important country in the Arabic-speaking world. Dramatic instability there would be disastrous for U.S. interests. And it might happen.
Even compared to Jordan and Saudi Arabia, Egypt has been remarkably passive in the region's international affairs over the last two decades. It has not acted as one might have expected, by taking the lead in organizing the Arab nationalist opposition to Iran and revolutionary Islamism.
But Mubarak has certainly been aware of the threat. While Jordan's King Abdallah compared Iran to an "octopus" reaching out its tentacles to seize control of the region, Mubarak called it a "cancer." A U.S. State Department cable of April 28, 2009, reports: ...

The book of the generation of Messiah Yeshua, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
6 And Jesse begat David the king;
and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren,
about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel;
and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary,
of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations;
and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations;
and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Messiah are fourteen generations.

Open Eyes, and an Open Heart By Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Weinreb A "simple", ancient Bible story reveals contemporary insight into how true leaders are developed, argues a noted psychologist ...
... The lesson for all of us here is that to be a truly ethical person, one must invest in the effort of becoming familiar with the plight of others. One must avoid the temptation of "looking away". From a psychological perspective, compartmentalization might be a healthy defense mechanism, necessary to avoid being flooded by images of evil. From an ethical perspective, on the other hand, compartmentalization is a seven-syllable word which, in simple terms, means avoidance of one's responsibilities to another. ...

Violence in Nigeria Leaves Dozens Dead
JOS, Nigeria—Multiple explosions in central Nigeria killed 32 people and six others died in attacks by Muslim sect members on two churches in the north, officials said Saturday.
Police spokesman Mohammed Lerama said 32 people died and at least 74 were injured in four bomb blasts Friday night that went off in close succession in different parts of Jos in central Nigeria—a region violently divided between Christians and Muslims.

How Western Institutions’ Naivete (Or Incompetence or Ideology) Helps Terrorists By Barry Rubin
If I had to pick one sentence to show what’s profoundly wrong with Middle East coverage in the Western mass media, this is the one I’d choose. It’s in a New York Times article entitled, “Israel: Tensions Rise Along Gaza Border” by Isabel Kershner. I’ll put the sentence in bold: “A rocket fired from Gaza fell close to a kindergarten in an Israeli village on Tuesday morning. Earlier, the Israeli Air Force struck several targets in Gaza in retaliation for a recent increase in rocket and mortar shell fire. Small groups appear to be behind the fire, but Israel says it holds Hamas, the Islamist organization that governs Gaza, responsible.”
Why does this bother me so much? Because it seems to symbolize how the West–oh so well-educated, sophisticated people–fall for every trick, no matter how simple, of the terrorists and totalitarians of the world and do their propaganda work for them.

'We the people' to open next Congress
House to read Constitution By Stephen Dinan-The Washington Times
The Constitution frequently gets lip service in Congress, but House Republicans next year will make sure it gets a lot more than that - the new rules the incoming majority party proposed this week call for a full reading of the country's founding document on the floor of the House on Jan. 6.
The goal, backers said, is to underscore the limited-government rules the Founders imposed on Congress - and to try to bring some of those principles back into everyday legislating.
Monitoring America
Nine years after the terrorist attacks of 2001, the United States is assembling a vast domestic intelligence apparatus to collect information about Americans, using the FBI, local police, state homeland security offices and military criminal investigators. The system, by far the largest and most technologically sophisticated in the nation's history, collects, stores and analyzes information about thousands of U.S. citizens and residents, many of whom have not been accused of any wrongdoing.
The government's goal is to have every state and local law enforcement agency in the country feed information to Washington to buttress the work of the FBI, which is in charge of terrorism investigations in the United States.
Other democracies - Britain and Israel, to name two - are well acquainted with such domestic security measures. But for the United States, the sum of these new activities represents a new level of governmental scrutiny.
This localized intelligence apparatus is part of a larger Top Secret America created since the attacks. In July, The Washington Post described an alternative geography of the United States, one that has grown so large, unwieldy and secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs or how many programs exist within it.
Today's story, along with related material on The Post's Web site, examines how Top Secret America plays out at the local level. It describes a web of 4,058 federal, state and local organizations, each with its own counterterrorism responsibilities and jurisdictions. At least 935 of these organizations have been created since the 2001 attacks or became involved in counterterrorism for the first time after 9/11.
Rep. Marsha Blackburn Promises to Undo FCC’s Internet Regulations
Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), a longtime advocate of Internet freedom, said she’s undaunted by the Federal Communications Commission’s decision to adopt net neutrality rules. Instead, she thinks the FCC’s
action will be a catalyst for renewed commitment on the issue in the 112th Congress.
“What we will do is first use this as a way to show how we’re going to keep that Pledge to America,” she said yesterday at The Heritage Foundation. “We said in the Pledge that any rule or regulation that had more than $100 million impact on our nation’s economy would be subject to review. …
This is an area where we can keep that Pledge. We can go ahead and
start congressional review and move forward on getting this off the
books.”
Daniel Greenfield article: The Left Drinks Itself to Death. Again
It wasn't long after Obama's victory that liberals began trying on patriotism like an old ill-fitting coat, admiring themselves in the mirror, and even denouncing conservatives as unamerican (yes it happened). Caught in the afterglow of their win, basking in the radiance of their man addressing the country, beaming down from the carefully arranged set pieces and choreographed events, guzzling the myth like hopeandchangey brew-- they could almost believe that the great clock of history had wound back to the Kennedy Administration. Before the Vietnam War or the shot in Memphis that killed Martin Luther King. That golden moment between FDR and LBJ, only briefly broken by McCarthyism and Ike, when hating your country hadn't yet become the mandatory liberal position. When it was still possible to look up admiringly at the flag and be a liberal, even if Phil Ochs and the SDS might mock them for it. When America to them was still the hope of the world, not the shame of the world.
More than anything else, the rise of Obama offered them that. A return to loving their country and being loved by it. Of course some things would have to go. Many things. But there could be a reconciliation of some kind. A new unity after the 'nightmare years' of the Bush Administration when the local Borders could never keep enough Bushisms books in stock, for reasons that they were sure had something to do with the Patriot Act, and their European friends didn't like them anymore. The new golden moment was here. Obama was the new JFK. And this time he wouldn't be shot and no one would have to be drafted to go to Vietnam. Altamont would end peacefully. Jimmy Hendrix would never die. Neither would Jim Morrison. All the culture clashes and racial hatreds would be reconciled. And all the national traumas would be healed again.
Daniel Greenfield article: Terrorizing Our Own
Airline travelers flying the unfriendly skies are presented with two options, that are actually only a single option, to have themselves and their children degraded in public in order to spare Muslim feelings. That we have a ban on profiling travelers, but no ban on molesting or humiliating them, tells us everything we need to know about why we have the current system that we do. In a war we terrorize the enemy. In a siege we terrorize our own. And we have been terrorizing our own for a long time now.
In 1999, we dropped thousands of tons of explosives on Yugoslavia, bombing trains, fuel depots, homes, bridges and people. We did that in order to give the Muslim drug dealing terrorists of the KLA their own state. Today that state is a gateway for drug trafficking and sex slaves into Europe, and a training ground for terrorists.
Since 1991, we have been bribing, intimidating and pressuring Israel to give the Muslim-Marxist terrorists of the PLO their own state. Flip open any newspaper and you can find articles and editorials dripping with outrage because after 18 years of terrorism, the terrorists still haven't gotten their own state.
The Military Cannot “Presume” Obama is Qualified
Is Maj. Gen. Karl Horst protecting Obama the way all of the judges, congressmen and governors have?
Officers:
It is my hope that this message will proceed chain-of-command style from Matthew, through Robert, and eventually to Carla and Karl. I purposely do not use the honorary military titles since in this instance they are not meaningful.
The recent military trial and conviction of Terry Lakin causes a considerable rumbling among the body politic. You may not be aware of the amplitude of this reaction due to the fact that you are all apparently comfortably ensconced in what may be thought of as the career “military cocoon” and surrounded by those who also are shielded from the opinions of the general public.

I’m merely trying to make you aware of the millions of “ordinary” Americans and how your military court system is now viewed by them.
Obama to regulate greenhouse gases from power plants
Mr Obama is pushing the EPA to cut greenhouse gas emissions after a climate bill failed earlier this year
The Obama administration has said it will regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants amid opposition from industry and Republicans in Congress. Note - more Markist tactics!
Obama Is Set to Shuffle His Staff By JEFF ZELENY
Obama is planning the first major reorganization of his administration, preparing to shuffle several positions in the West Wing as he tries to fortify his political team for the realities of divided government and his own re-election.
Obama and Islam by Robert Spencer and David Horowitz
No president in American history has taken a more admiring view of Islam than Barack Obama. Whether it is his repeated insistence that the attacks on Americans and the war that has been declared against the West have nothing do with Islam, or his flattering (and false) description of Islam as a religion “that teaches peace, justice, fairness and tolerance,” or his unprecedented revelation that he considers it “part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear,” Obama in his first two years of office has spurned no opportunity to speak well of the religion.
Considering the long history of Islamic extremism, the militancy of Islamic religious texts, and the justification that such texts provide for modern jihadist movements, the president’s fawning rhetoric may be confused for mere ignorance. But as David Horowitz and Robert Spencer forcefully argue in their new pamphlet, “Obama and Islam,” Obama’s Islamophilic outreach represents something far more disturbing than naïveté: a conscious effort to appease Islamic supremacism in Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East, and an energetic willingness to pander to the Islamic world in general.The consequence, the authors show, is a dangerously ill-conceived foreign policy that has betrayed American values, undermined the national interest, abandoned staunch allies like Israel, and forsaken Muslims who are condemned to suffer under brutal Islamic regimes. Cheap flattery has rarely exacted such a high cost.
Soros-funded Criminals Lobby Sparks Prison Revolt By Cliff Kincaid | December 24, 2010
Soros has provided the bulk of the money behind a well-organized “criminals lobby” in the U.S. that is working to make “prisoners’ rights” into the next big cause of the liberal-left.
Why the West Must Realize Brazil is a "Communist" Country
Most Western commentators claim that there are only a few communist countries left on the planet.
This huge mistake occurs, because these naive souls fail to distinguish observable economic polies, with foreign policy goals and long term strategic objectives.
The rationale goes -"well country X is ruled by Marxist-Leninists and leftists, but they are pursuing "free market" economic policies, therefore they are not really communists and if we keep trading with them, we can eventually convert them to a western way of thinking." Sooner they will find fairies in the bottom of their gardens.

Gulag Bound on Current Conflict in Venezuela
Cross-posting from Gulag Bound: Late Sunday night, we began to see sketchy reports from individuals that farmers in the region of Sur del Lago, Venezuela were being attacked by Venezuelan as well as foreign military, all directed by Hugo Chavez.
Initial and unconfirmed reports allege that fellow perpetrators are Cubans, thugs from the drug cartel FARC, and even Hezbollah, all there for the action.
Van Jones on "Pretending" To Get Regulations
Unbelievable! Van Jones lied through his teeth about his communism.

Members of a banned Islamic hate group reportedly have plans to put up thousands posters around the UK advertising the season of giving as one of rape, promiscuity, abortion, crime and pedophilia. According to the Daily Mail, the groups hope their campaign will help “destroy Christmas” in the UK and convince more Britons to convert to Islam.
The posters have already made appearances in parts of London where Labour MP Jim Fitzpatrick called them “extremely offensive” and demanded they be taken down.

The U.S. is reverting to "colonial relationships" to "impose" its will on other countries through "economic warfare," asserted Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn. Ellison, the first Muslim member of Congress, made the remarks at a so-called spiritual conference led by a slew of extremists, many with close ties to Obama, including a Marxist who reportedly compared the tea party movement to Hitler.

Dr. Brian Ray, founder of the National Home Education Research Institute, in his 2004 study of more than 7,000 homeschooled adults, showed that homeschoolers were more likely to vote, volunteer for political campaigns, and participate in community service. Dr. Ray found that 71% of homeschool graduates participated in ongoing community service activities compared to 37% of U.S. adults of similar ages, and 76% of homeschool graduates (aged 18-24) had voted in a national or state election within the last 5 years, compared to 29% of non-homeschooled graduates.

Must Read: WSJ Outs Rent-Seeking, Wall Street Fat Cats Looking to Make Enron-Like Profits.Wall Street Journal (12/23) reports, “Strange things happen at the nexus of progressive ideology and private profits. Like Peter Orszag decamping the White House budget office for Citigroup, a bank that wouldn 't exist without taxpayer crutches. Then there are the utility CEOs cheering on the Obama Administration's plans to wipe out large portions of U.S. electric power capacity. The Environmental Protection Agency is preparing an unprecedented torrent of air and other regulations that will force as much as a third of U.S. coal-fired power to retire in the coming years. This gambit is meant as an anticarbon backstop now that cap and trade is in the political morgue and it will cause huge reliability problems, but some electric executives claim all this merely follows the law and is nothing to worry about. Eight leading utility CEOs responded recently to one of our editorials with a letter defending the EPA, claiming that the coal retirements are "long overdue" and that the regulations will "yield important economic benefits." What they didn't mention is that those benefits will mostly accrue to the businesses they happen to head. But don't take our word for it. Here's John Rowe, one of the letter's signatories and the chairman and chief executive of Exelon: "Put simply, we expect some drop in 2012 earnings. But we believe by that time that the trough in our revenues will be nearing its end. This morning, I am going to cover three reasons why we believe that. First, EPA regulations will affect both capacity and energy markets, and will do so sooner than many think," Mr. Rowe said on Exelon's second-quarter earnings call in July.”
Mandates, Handouts, Regulations, Tax Hikes, Permitoriums and Moratoriums; That’s the Obama Admin. Energy Policy… Where’s the “Olive Branch?”E&E News (12/23) reports, “At a year-end press conference yesterday that capped a string of legislative victories for the White House, President Obama singled out energy reform as a major piece of unfinished business. "We're still going to have to figure out how we work on energy," Obama said in response to a question about his ability to make good on promises to the Hispanic community about making progress on immigration. "And that's an area that I want to immediately engage with the Republicans to figure out.” Obama did not elaborate on any possible avenues for bipartisan accord on energy, but several Republicans have laid down markers for collaboration with the administration in the aftermath of their party's midterm election victories. Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and John Ensign (R-Nev.) this year signed onto a Democratic-backed renewable electricity standard (RES) plan that would require utilities to derive 15 percent of their power from sources such as wind and solar by 2021. Meanwhile, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has proposed a competing clean energy standard (CES) that would allow utilities to meet a similar mandate by expanding nuclear power and "clean coal" -- a prospect Energy Secretary Steven Chu recently asked lawmakers to "think about seriously"
Who Coined this “Clean Energy Standard” BS? It’s a Mandate that will Cost Jobs and Jack Rates, Period.The Hill (12/22) reports, “Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) walked away from climate change and energy talks with Democrats months ago, but he’s plotting a return to the thick of Senate energy debates. Graham said Thursday that he’s reviving his proposal to create a “clean energy” standard for utilities in the next Congress. The idea would require power companies to supply escalating amounts of energy from various low-carbon sources. Power generated from new nuclear plants would be eligible. Graham told reporters that he wants to link the idea with proposals that would prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from “overly” regulating several air pollutants — including carbon. “I am going to try and get with some Democrats and Republicans and see if we can come up with a clean energy standard that has a regional flexibility, that focuses on clean energy, and keep the EPA from overly regulating all these pollutants. That would be the tradeoff,” Graham said in the Capitol. Flashback: Lindsey Graham advocated for increase in federal gasoline tax as part of KGL cap-and-trade proposal.
The Lone Star Showdown: Texas Gov. Taken Off the Gloves with L-Jack and EPA; Sides with Jobs, Farmers, Energy Producers.New York Times (12/23) reports, “The feud between Texas and the Environmental Protection Agency reached a new level this week, with federal officials saying that they will take over the granting of permits for new power plants and refineries in the state because Texas refuses to regulate its emissions of greenhouse gases. The showdown centers on Texas’ opposition to the Obama administration’s program to rein in heat-trapping emissions, which has become a symbol of a broader struggle by industry and some Republican politicians to thwart such regulatory efforts. Texas and several other states are fighting the mandates in court, and Republican leaders who will take over the House of Representatives next year have made no secret of their opposition, arguing that mandating cuts in industrial emissions will harm the economy. On Monday, Gina McCarthy, the E.P.A. assistant administrator for air issues, told state environmental officials in a letter that if Texas would not regulate carbon emissions from smokestacks, the federal government would seize control of the state’s permitting program on Thursday. “The unwillingness of Texas state officials to implement this portion of the federal program leaves E.P.A. no choice but to resume its role as the permitting authority,” Ms. McCarthy wrote. State officials see it differently. “This is an arrogant act by an overreaching E.P.A. that is trying to implement new, unnecessary controls on American industry,” said Andrea Morrow, a spokeswoman for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.”
Remember Prof. Gabriel Calzada? He told you Two Years Ago that Spain’s Renewable Energy Industry Was a House of Cards – Which is Now Coming Down.Bloomberg (12/23) reports, “Spain will cut revenue that photovoltaic plants can earn by 30 percent for three years, part of a policy shift forecast to trim the costs consumers pay for electric power by 4.6 billion euros ($6 billion) through 2013. Electricity producers that use solar panels will earn the standard rate for some of the hours each day that they are currently earning a premium, subsidized rate, according to an Industry Ministry statement today. The package, approved by Spain’s cabinet of ministers, seeks to close the tariff deficit while freezing electricity prices for the nation’s 5 million poorest families. The deficit, or the shortfall between what power companies are allowed to charge consumers and the revenue guaranteed to them by the government, has spiraled in recent years. The cabinet raised the legal limit for the tariff deficit for 2010, 2011 and 2012 by a total of 4 billion euros. Madrid-based utility Endesa SA, which is owed the most money from having to cover the tariff deficit, rose 1.1 percent to 19.54 euros in Spanish trading.”
Pennsylvania Rep. With most Marcellus Acreage Lands Spot on Resources Committee, Gavel on Ag. Energy Subcommittee. E&E News (subs req’d, 12/23) reports, “Rep. Glenn "GT" Thompson of Pennsylvania will head the retooled Conservation, Energy and Forestry Subcommittee, which oversees conservation, small watershed programs, energy and biobased energy, rural electrification and forestry. Rep. Tim Holden (D-Pa.) held the chairmanship of a similar subpanel called Conservation, Credit, Energy and Research this past Congress. Thompson, who also will serve on the House Natural Resources Committee, touted his new gavel as a plus for his district and for Pennsylvania. "I will have more input toward the issues affecting our lives on a daily basis -- from the commonwealth's family farms to Marcellus Shale, to the Allegheny National Forest and Chesapeake Bay Watershed," he said yesterday in a statement. The jurisdiction of several other subcommittees also has been tweaked. Rep. Jeff Fortenberry of Nebraska will head Department Operations, Oversight and Credit, a subpanel that lacked credit oversight but included nutrition and forestry during the 111th Congress.”

To Be a Jew, Who Decides?
A current debate that is brewing in the Israeli Knesset is centered on the issue of who should control conversions to Judaism of IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) soldiers, the Chief Rabbi or the State. There are thousands of immigrants (mostly from Russia) that are not considered Jewish according to the Rabbinate (the Jewish religious authority) because they are not born of a Jewish mother. They have the right to immigrate to Israel based on their father or a grandparent being Jewish but they themselves are not considered fully Jewish.
"Lev Ehad" - Volunteers of Israel
While the media showed the images of the fires on the Carmel two weeks ago, many Israelis decided to not just sit still but take action by helping the people who lost their homes. Over 10,000 people contacted "Lev Echad" operation center in Jerusalem requesting to volunteer and help the people living in the Carmel. "What you do for yourself goes with you to the grave. What you do for others stays forever" (anonymous). Eli Weissbart, spokesman of "Lev Echad," quotes this while trying to explain why so many people wanted to volunteer and help.

Hand Book Shows Islamic Circle of North America's True Goals Steve Emerson ***** The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) is preaching a global Caliphate and Islamic Shari'a law over America to its members, according to the 2010 ICNA Member's Hand Book. This is a very different message than the group's public outreach efforts, and contradicts claims that the organization is a tolerant, mainstream Islamic group.
As the hand book spells out, the organization's ultimate goal is "the Establishment of Islam" as the sole basis of global society and governance. It also encourages members to deceive people in its proselytizing campaign to help fulfill this goal. This aim is one that ICNA has been actively pursuing as the group has set its sights on America's constitutional separation of religion and state.
From the Horse's Mouth: Islam is an IDEOLOGY
You might want to check out the website of theCouncil of Islamic Ideology of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan:
The Council of Islamic Ideology is a constitutional body that advises the Pakistani legislature whether or not a certain law is repugnant to Islam, namely to the Qur'an and Sunna. This Council consists of eleven recognized scholars of Islamic theology and law. Therefore, we can be sure that, when they take a position on Islam, that they are representing the truth about Islam.
Just the other day, for example, the Council of Islamic Ideology came out strongly in favor of keeping the draconian Pakistani laws against blasphemy. Please see it here Note that the Council is called the "Council of Islamic Ideology", not the Council of Islam, or the Council of the Islamic Religion. In the West, we tend to think of Islam only as a religion like other religions. In fact, the leading Islamic scholars and religious authorities speak of Islam as being an ideology and NOT a religion like other religions. It is precisely the ideological aspect of Islam which makes Islam different from other religions and far more dangerous to the rest of the world than any other religion. By ideology, we mean a detailed plan for organizing all aspects of society and personal life. Islamic ideology is embodied in Sharia law, considered to be God's sacred law -- which is inseparable from the spiritual aspect of Islam, and inseparable from the personal relationship between the believing Moslem and his God. Islamic ideology, as embodied in Sharia law (which is based on the Koran and the sayings of Muhammad), is both totalitarian ("complete way of life") and imperialist/supremacist ("Make war on the unbelievers until Islam reigns supreme in the world.")
Moslem apologists and propagandists in the West, aided by ignorant non-Moslem useful idiots (including nearly all of our political leaders!) do not want us to know that Islam is an ideology. They want us to think that Islam is just another religion so that they can take advantage of our religious freedom to infiltrate our institutions with their ideology. In order to counter this subversion, we absolutely must always speak of Islam as an ideology, not as a religion. Islamic ideology in non-Islamic countries like America is at once subversive and seditious.
It follows logically that, if Islam is not a just religion like other religions, then a mosque is not just a house of prayer like a church or synagogue. A mosque is also a center for the propagation of Islamic totalitarian and imperialist ideology, an outpost for the spread and triumph of Islamic ideology. Keep this in mind when the Moslem community pushes for ever more and ever bigger mosques.
Portland Oregon: Christians, Jews, and Muslims Rally in Support of Islam~ Part I
Here we go again. Another Islamic terrorist plot is foiled (Christmas tree lighting plot), and non-Muslims come running out to hear Muslims tell them what they want to hear. That Islam is a religion of peace. Hearing this is much easier for them, than actually facing 1400 years of Islamic terrorism and conquest. The rally took place this past Sunday at the Pioneer Courthouse Square in Portland. Lets review it.

Rape victims fear being jailed in Mauritania By Mohamed Yahya Abdel Wedoud, For CNN
Zeinebou Mint Taleb Moussa has been fighting for women's rights in Mauritania for at least a decade.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Rights groups working to get a law defining rape in Mauritania
Currently rape victims can be jailed for having sex outside marriage
Victims also pressured by social stigma attached to rape
One woman tells CNN: Mauritania is no place for rape victims like me Note: PUNISH THE INNOCENT FEMALE
HJS Comments: Unpunished rape is another form of intolerance in the Middle East and elsewhere, wherever cruelty to women is systemic, whether by religious fiat or by tradition. Why our National Organization of Women does not seem to be upset about an ideology that punishes rape victims instead of male rapists is not clear to me. That ideology is gaining converts all over the world, and is growing everywhere, including Europe. From the time of her birth, to her death, a female member of that male-oriented ideology can count on always being owned by a male; her father until she is married, and her husband, who more or less leases her from her father. It is not unusual for a tribe or family to stone to death a rape victim because by being raped, the girl or woman has caused dishonor (their word for it, not mine) to the tribe and family. In some cases, the lifeless body is not removed, but left for the elements and the animals, and her name stricken from all records—she never lived.
Is that the type of thinking and tradition that we want here? If we continue to listen to the people in Washington, D.C. and New York about OUR intolerance, and accept their aggressive notion that they did not come here to be anything less than the only ideology in the United States, then be prepared to welcome the sharia!

A fool despiseth his father’s instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so. Proverbs 15:3-4
BIBLE - CREATION - LIFE - FAMILY
The BEST things in life aren't THINGS
Evolutionary Christianity?
An all-star lineup of theistic evolutionists has one message: you can believe in God and evolution. But we ask ‘At what cost?’
Origin of the Races "These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood." (Genesis 10:32)
This is the concluding verse of the tenth chapter of Genesis, known as "The Table of Nations." It tells us that all the original nations of the world were formed from the descendants of Noah. The basis of this worldwide division was their dispersion at Babel (Genesis 11:9), "every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations" (Genesis 10:5; see also 10:20 and 10:31). Lest anyone think this list of original nations is simply folklore, he should remember that William F. Albright, probably the greatest archaeologist of the twentieth century, called it "an astonishingly accurate document." Many ethnologists still speak of Japhetic, Hamitic, and Semitic peoples and languages. But what about the origin of races? One searches the Bible in vain for this information, for neither the word nor the concept of "race" appears in the Bible at all! There is no such thing as a race--except the human race! Skin color and other supposed racial characteristics are mere recombinations of innate genetic factors, originally created in Adam and Eve to permit development of different family characteristics as the human race was commanded to multiply and fill the earth (Genesis 1:28; 9:1). "Race" is strictly an evolutionary concept used by Darwin, Huxley, Haeckel, and the other nineteenth-century evolutionists to rationalize their white racism. But from the beginning it was not so! "God that made the world and all things therein; . . . hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth" (Acts 17:24, 26). "Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother?" (Malachi 2:10).

EDITORIAL: Obama's START secrets Nuclear-weapons treaty disarms missile defense, not terrorists By The Washington Times
The Obama administration is frantically trying to deliver a ratification win on the New START (or START II) nuclear arms treaty. The harder Democrats push the agreement, the more troubling questions arise.
On Sunday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said, "It is time to move forward on a treaty that will help reverse nuclear proliferation and make it harder for terrorists to get their hands on a nuclear weapon." Rebranding START as a counterterrorism tool in this way is disingenuous. The treaty has nothing to do with terrorism, and the word doesn't appear anywhere in the text. The treaty limits strategic nuclear warheads, weapons that terrorists wouldn't be able to deploy even if they had them.
House GOP: Bills will have to cite Constitution
Fulfilling one of their most prominent campaign promises, House Republican leaders have unveiled a new rule to require that each bill filed in the House “cite its specific constitutional authority.”
And for those who may have skipped that constitutional law class, Republicans have organized four staff briefings prior to the Jan. 5 start of the 112th Congress to provide guidance on compliance with the new rule. The first session will be Monday at 1 p.m. in the Capitol Visitor Center.
Daniel Greenfield article: Islam was Born Out of Child Abuse and Rape*****
The Senate recently unanimously passed the awkwardly named "International Protecting Girls by Preventing Child Marriage Act of 2010", which obligates the government to track child marriage rates globally and fund programs to reduce it in countries with a child marriage of over 40 percent. The act mentions only one Muslim country by name (Bangladesh), but it may be one of the most 'Islamophobic' pieces of legislation ever voted on by the United States Senate. Islam is the only major world religion where child marriage has the religious sanction of its prophet. Mohammed 'married' Aisha, his most notable wife, when she was six years old. The marriage was consummated when she was nine or ten at the latest. Like so many marriages, it was the product of an alliance between her father and Mohammed. Aisha's merchant father was Mohammed's first ally outside his family, and went on to be Mohammed's successor. That alliance was sealed with the sexual abuse of his little girl. Such arrangements are still common in the Muslim world today, where little girls are treated as gifts to seal an alliance.
Islam was born out of the brutal rape of a little girl. As the mother of the Sunni Caliphate, Aisha is not just an incidental figure. Her marriage to Mohammed lies at the heart of Islam. The alliance between her father and her abuser made Islam viable by giving its prophet his first real power base. After Mohammed's death, her father used that connection to the Chief Prophet of Islam, to gain the political upper hand over Mohammed's son-in-law in the civil war that arose afterward. And it was her father who oversaw the codification of the Koran in its written form.
The spread of the Islamic faith and the codification of the Koran were made possibly only through the rape of a little girl. And there is no way around that. Which is why child abuse remains a permanent part of Islam. To disavow it, is to disavow Islam's Prophet and his successor, whom Sunni Islam associates with the codification of their religion's holiest book. Muslims cannot tolerate gently mocking cartoons of their prophet. They certainly are not about to put him aside so that no more 9 year old girls get raped.
And how could they? One of the most awful Hadiths depicts Aisha's mother taking her from her swing set, wiping her face and then bringing her inside and putting her on Mohammed's lap. While everyone else left, Mohammed "consummated" his marriage with her. Another describes her friends coming over to play with dolls... after her marriage. Still another mentions that she had originally played with his own children. ...

Obama File 112 Amiri Baraka Hearts Barack Obama
Amiri Baraka is a self proclaimed communist. Baraka once led the Revolutionary Communist League (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist). In more recent years he has been a little closer to more orthodox Marxists such as the Communist Party USA and Democratic Socialists of America. His wife, Amina Baraka, has been, in recent years, a member of the Communist Party USA.
Amiri and Amina Baraka were both involved in the June 1998 founding conference of the Black Radical Congress in Chicago. Attendees at the conference included future Obama "Green Jobs Czar" Van Jones, member of Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement and a "9/11 Truther"; future Progressives for Obama founder Bill Fletcher, Jr. (Democratic Socialists of America and Freedom Road Socialist Organization); Obama's then pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright; and future Obama Black Advisory Council member, Cornel West (Democratic Socialists of America).
Rev. Wright and Cornel West spoke at the conference session entitled "Faith as a Weapon: Spirituality and the Role of the Church In The Radical Movement". Baraka has written at least two poems dedicated to his idol - "Ode to Obama" and "Obama Poem".
"Who Blew Up America?" - "Disinformation" Overload
This poem "Who Blew Up America?", got communist Amiri Baraka fired from his position as New Jersey Poet Laureate.
Too many communist "disinformation" themes to list - from "99/11 was an inside job" to the Israelis knew beforehand, to America invented AIDS to kill black people. While on the surface laughable, many of these "disinformation" themes are accepted as "gospel" by millions of Americans
Is the "9/11" Was an Inside Job" Story Actually Communist "Disinformation"?
It is my belief that Russia Today is a propaganda/"disinformation" tool of the Kremlin and Russian intelligence.
It is also my view that the Russians and their Cuban allies are still actively promoting disinformation stories throughout the West and "third world". These are largely targeted at the "Main Enemy" - the United States of America. One of the most damaging of these probable Kremlin creations, in my opinion, is the "9/11' was an inside job" meme, which is even promoted by many who would describe themselves as patriots and conservatives.
"Jesus Was the First Communist" video
Must view April 2009 interview with Communist Party of the Russian Federation leader Gennadi Zyuganov.
Almost all of what Zyuganov says is straight up, but as is typical with Russia Today, there is some "disinformation" thrown in - the idea that the Russian Communists and "former" KGB man Vladimir Putin, are not on the same page, not working in harmony to the same ends.
Zyuganov predicts that more red flags will fly in western streets. Something we saw in 2010 and can expect to see exponentially grow in the next couple of years.

Family Security Matters Who is Behind Seattle's Anti-Israel Bus Campaign?

Note : The decision of the King County Metro to advertise large banners with "Israeli War Crimes, Your Tax Dollars at Work" on its buses is both reckless and a blatant falsehood. The anti-Semitic forces in the United States are engaged in yet another demonization campaign of Israel by running this ad on the eve of the second anniversary of Operation Cast Lead when Israel responded to thousands of missiles fired from Gaza.

Breitbart | Big Government | Big Peace | Big Journalism | Pigford Video Blockbuster: Key ‘Black Farmers’ Lawyer Admits Clients ‘Got Away With Murder’ by Lee Stranahan
The mainstream media has treated accusations of large-scale fraud in the Pigford settlement with overt skepticism and a distinct lack of journalistic curiosity. The press has blindly repeated the Obama Administration’s claim that there are only a handful of fraud cases among the twenty thousand or so paid Pigford claims. Worse, the media has helped promote the narrative that those raising concerns about fraud in Pigford are racist.
You’re about to watch a video clip where Othello Cross, an attorney for Pigford claimants with about fifteen years of experience on the case, admits that he is personally aware of hundreds of cases of fraud in the state of Arkansas alone. Furthermore, he explains how easy it was to commit that fraud and receive a $50,000 check from the government; it’s appropriate to deduce from Cross’s revealing statement that the actual number of fraudulent claims is likely much higher than the hundreds he knows about.
You’re about to watch this clip for the first time, but the USDA watched it over a week ago — I sent it to them for comment about 10 days ago.

32% of British Muslim students support killing for Islam; 40% want Sharia Law
If the way young Muslims in Britain are feeling is any indication for America's own Muslim community, then America better beware. According to a new survey done at 30 universities in Britain, the young Muslim student body in that country is extremely radicalized. The poll asked 600 Muslim students and 800 of their non-Muslim peers about politically touchy subjects like killing in the name of Islam and Sharia Law-and the results were like night and day between the two demographics. While hardly anyone in the non-Muslim sample accepted killing in the name of religion, basically one-third of all Muslim students in Britain supported this.

China Declares Christian 'House Churches' a 'Cult,' Advocacy Group Reports By Patrick Goodenough
(CNSNews.com) - China reportedly has launched a new crackdown on "house churches," Protestant congregations that do not belong to the country's state-sanctioned, "patriotic" church organization.
In an ominous development reported by the China Aid Association (CAA), a U.S.-based group that advocates for Chinese Christians, authorities allegedly have labeled the house church movement a "cult." Beijing used the same term when it outlawed the Falun Gong meditation movement in 1999, a move that ushered in a major, ongoing crackdown against the Falun Gong that has brought China worldwide censure.
Citing secret information "from more than one reliable source" inside China, CAA said Tuesday the campaign against house churches ordered by the Communist Party Politburo was launched on December 1.
Chinese security officials "have been notified to collect information about house churches throughout the country and turn these reports in to their superiors," it said. "A long 'blacklist' of church leaders and influential believers reportedly has been drawn up." The Pew Research Center estimated in 2007 that up to 70 million Chinese believers worship in unregistered house churches. By comparison, China's State Administration for Religious Affairs (SARA) last June put at 16 million the "official" Protestant population - members of the state-approved Three Self-Patriotic Movement (TSPM).
Solstice Lunar Eclipse Tonight
During this eclipse, the Moon will be situated in the Taurus constellation
This lunar eclipse falls on the date of the northern winter solstice. How rare is that? Total lunar eclipses in northern winter are fairly common. There have been three of them in the past ten years alone. A lunar eclipse smack-dab on the date of the solstice, however, is unusual. Geoff Chester of the US Naval Observatory inspected a list of eclipses going back 2000 years. "Since Year 1, I can only find one previous instance of an eclipse matching the same calendar date as the solstice, and that is 1638 DEC 21," says Chester. "Fortunately we won't have to wait 372 years for the next one...that will be on 2094 DEC 21."

Daniel Greenfield article: In the Basements of the Left
Plenty of people don't quite know how to feel about Julian Assange. On the one hand he's a clear and declared enemy of the United States. On the other hand Wikileaks has released diplomatic cables that provided helpful information. And the main damage has been done to Obama and a left of center diplomatic corps. That alone has made Assange seem like the enemy of my enemy. But that kind of thinking is problematic.
The showdown between Assange and Obama is more proof that the left is a bottomless pit. That as bad as you think it's going to get, there's still another level beneath that. And another level beneath it still. Obama and his administration are not the basement. There is another basement beneath them where Assange lives. And still another basement beneath him. And another one below that. If there's a bottom floor to it all. A place where there could be no greater possible evil, no deeper hatred of America and no wider assault on civilization. Then we haven't reached it yet.
To chart just a small portion of the territory is like following a sewer deeper and deeper into the ground. And here's an example. Michael Moore has emerged as one of Assange's biggest defenders. (Since Moore has begun to be forgotten by the left, this was a timely way to remind everyone that he exists and assert his radical credentials.) ...
... So too the Communist revolutions in Russia and China devolved into the cults of Lenin, Mao and Stalin. In Russia, democracy gave way to Putinism. The fall of the Bush era gave way to Obamanism. For all its condemnations of greed and capitalism, when given a chance the left builds its own private fiefdoms. Little empires for men like Olbermann, Assange, Obama or Shamir. Men running from themselves. Indulging themselves. And running whatever causes they champion into the ground.

"If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one, subject to particular exceptions." --James Madison ObamaCare mandate ruled unconstitutional
"[O]ne reason the Founding Fathers decided to break with England was their dismay with England's mercantilist system, which generally required colonists to purchase manufactured goods from, or through, England rather than produce them in the colonies. Hatred for this system inspired a Virginia farmer named George Washington to try to convert his colonial farm into a self-sufficient unit -- where ... he could produce and consume what he wanted without trading with others, especially those in England. The Framers, who had not forgotten English mercantilism, wrote the Commerce Clause of the Constitution to create a free-trade zone among the American states. Their aim was to facilitate freedom, not restrict it. ... [Judge Henry] Hudson, while carefully staying within the Supreme Court precedent of Wickard v. Filburn, correctly understood that the issue raised by Obamacare's individual mandate ... is freedom itself. 'The unchecked expansion of congressional power to the limits suggested by the Minimum Essential Coverage Provision would invite unbridled exercise of federal police powers,' Hudson wrote in his opinion. ... And you thought liberals believed in freedom of choice?" ...
Israeli Device to Detect Terrorists, Even If Unarmed by Maayana Miskin
An Israeli device designed for use in airports aims to detect terrorists whether or not they are armed, and to cut back on many security measures that inconvenience all passengers equally. The device tracks physical reactions to basic questions or statements.
Israel currently uses a similar system at Ben-Gurion Airport, where screeners aim to detect suspicious passenger behavior instead of focusing primarily on objects in passengers' possession. Unlike security teams in other countries, who take all liquids from passengers or conduct invasive searches, the Ben-Gurion screeners engage passengers in conversation and use their training to scout out unusual reactions, which lead to passengers being pulled out of line for further screening.
While the human conversation-based system works well, it can be time consuming. If the new devices being developed for security are put into action in airports, they are expected to significantly speed the process. ...

Thomas Jefferson First Fought Muslim Terrorists By Attorney Jonathan Emord
In the earliest days of our Republic, without a formal declaration of war from Congress, Thomas Jefferson created the United States Navy and Marines and went to war against Muslim terrorists who were attacking American vessels, enslaving American seamen, and holding those seamen and American property hostage until ransom was paid. Our history thus provides a clear, illustrative example of how the President as Commander in Chief may direct the American military to destroy terrorists intent on taking American lives and property.
The President’s supreme power as Commander in Chief to direct American military forces against terrorist foes has long constitutional roots stemming from the Constitution’s Article II, Section 2. While in the foreign realm the President’s power to command American military forces is paramount; in the domestic realm he functions as a civilian in all but the rarest of circumstances when, pursuant to the Constitution’s Article I, Section 9, the Congress of the United States suspends the Writ of Habeas Corpus “in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion” when “the public Safety . . . require[s] it.” In his civilian role as chief executive officer, the President may not constitutionally put the instrumentalities of war to use against the people of the United States except in a limited and rare circumstance. Congress may invoke Article I, Section 9 writ suspension only in the midst of a rebellion in the theater of conflict (such as the Civil War) and only for so long as is necessary to quell the Rebellion.
While I respect those who fear misuse of America’s military might against our own people, that might and those technologies are indispensable to protect the nation against invasion and to destroy those intent on destroying us. Thomas Jefferson well understood this, as did all of the Founding Fathers, and they made way for use of force to achieve those ends in the Constitution.

"The Pyramid of Frauds"Bernie Madoff was small fry compared to this scam.
From Australia's Carbon Sense Coalition One of the fastest growing industries in the world is based on a pyramid of frauds and its inevitable collapse will be worse than the sub-prime crash.
The Global Warming Industry is now fed by billions of dollars from western taxpayers and consumers. It is based on the unproven and now discredited claim that man's production of carbon dioxide causes dangerous global warming.
The basic fraud is this:
There is no evidence that carbon dioxide controls world temperature – just a theory and the manipulated results from a handful of giant computer models that very few people have checked or understand. But there is clear evidence from historical records of atmospheric carbon dioxide and temperature that carbon dioxide does not control temperature. Rather the reverse – as solar or volcanic heat warms the oceans, the waters expel carbon dioxide. Global warming causes an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide, not the reverse.
Moreover, every day provides more evidence that current temperatures are not unusually high. Over the past 2000 years there have been two previous eras of warming ("the golden ages") separated by two mini ice ages ("the dark ages"). Both the Roman Warming and the Medieval Warming were warmer than today and there was no human industry causing that warming. ...

Wall Street Journal The FCC's Threat to Internet Freedom By ROBERT M. MCDOWELL 'Net neutrality' sounds nice, but the Web is working fine now. The new rules will inhibit investment, deter innovation and create a billable-hours bonanza for lawyers. Tomorrow morning the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will mark the winter solstice by taking an unprecedented step to expand government's reach into the Internet by attempting to regulate its inner workings. In doing so, the agency will circumvent Congress and disregard a recent court ruling.How did the FCC get here?
For years, proponents of so-called "net neutrality" have been calling for strong regulation of broadband "on-ramps" to the Internet, like those provided by your local cable or phone companies. Rules are needed, the argument goes, to ensure that the Internet remains open and free, and to discourage broadband providers from thwarting consumer demand. That sounds good if you say it fast. Nothing is broken that needs fixing, however. The Internet has been open and freedom-enhancing since it was spun off from a government research project in the early 1990s. Its nature as a diffuse and dynamic global network of networks defies top-down authority. Ample laws to protect consumers already exist. Furthermore, the Obama Justice Department and the European Commission both decided this year that net-neutrality regulation was unnecessary and might deter investment in next-generation Internet technology and infrastructure. ...

Locking Away Millions of Energy-Rich Acres Out West a “Top Priority” for Few Hours that Remain in Lame Duck Session, Sen. Reid Declares. E&E News (12/20, subs. req’d) reports, “Republican leaders over the weekend urged defeat of the omnibus package of 110 public lands, water and wildlife bills that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) introduced Friday and hopes to pass in the final days of this Congress. House Natural Resources Chairman-elect Doc Hastings (R-Wash.) called the package of 110 bills (S. 303) "bloated" and said it authorizes more than $18 billion in spending over 10 years. "Instead of haphazardly approving billions in new spending, we have an obligation to ask if spending money on these programs is so critical that we should further indebt ourselves to foreign countries and put our economic security at risk, " Hastings said in a statement. "This monster bill must be defeated." Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma, the top Republican on EPW -- also slammed the bill. Inhofe said through a spokesman that the package, unlike certain individual measures included, had no chance of passing and showed that Democrats would rather "play politics than ensure passage of environmental legislation." "What is truly unfortunate is that within this massive package there are a number of bills that have broad bipartisan support," Inhofe spokesman Matt Dempsey said in an e-mail. "These bills, if considered separately from this massive omnibus package, may very well be able to pass the Senate."

Dear Youtube and Google management, Thank you for partially rescinding the ban on Palwatch by reinstating

For example: "

“Zionism, Our Main Enemy!” youtube.com/watch?v=zR8qAgnx3VQ.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuBup7LYO1Y . YouTube also features the blood libel, that old standby of anti-Semitism, in these videos: youtube.com/watch?v=aBoDPuaygaw, a video that purports to be a “documentary,” and youtube.com/watch?v=c4tUlK02c1w. This one is titled “jEwish blood drinking of Christain children.”You really didn't know that was hate speech??

ISRAPUNDENT Articles - Ted Belman Peace process is stuck in 1949 By Ted Belman American policy regarding the Arab/Israel conflict has not changed since the Armistice Agreement in 1949. ...
... There is nothing to suggest that Jerusalem can be shared peaceably.
Instead, its damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead. Jerusalem as a city and concept is holy only to Jews. Why should they be required to share it with the Arabs. The Arabs living in Jerusalem could become citizens of Israel just like Arabs now living in Israel are. They would be glad to.
The two-state solution harkens back to the UN Partition Plan of ’47. But that General Assembly resolution was illegal in that it violated the UN obligations to uphold the Mandate to create a Jewish state in all of Palestine. It was also only a recommendation. Why is the US slavishly adhering to it. But present policy is worse than the Partition Plan which drew borders based on demographics. At a minimum the US should follow the same principle and work toward borders based on demographics today. But no, she would rather force Israel to uproot in excess of 100,000 of her own citizens.
In short, the US is trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. She must stop being governed by past policies and formulate a new policy based on current realities,... with a view to future stability.

Jewish World Review Why the ‘Palestinians’ still suffer By Steven Emerson
Life for the Arabs of Gaza has not improved since Israel's unilateral withdrawal in 2005. An objective analysis by one of the world's leading terror experts reveals why
A leading American Muslim charity routed millions of dollars illegally to Hamas. An international convoy and flotilla campaign to deliver aid to Palestinians supports the Hamas government in Gaza.
Their advocates insist they want nothing more than to ease the suffering of the Palestinian people.
A review of Hamas' actions since seizing control of Gaza in 2007, however, shows the group is creating suffering. In addition to refusing to renounce terror and recognize Israel as necessary first steps for peace negotiations, it has imposed a steadily intensifying clampdown on perceived morals crimes, beaten and killed alleged foes without trial and deliberately placed civilians in harm's way.

Middle East Forum Swedish Jihad Revelations by Raymond Ibrahim
Back in 2004, in one of his most recognized messages to America, Osama bin Laden, responding to then President George Bush Jr.'s claims that Al Qaeda hates freedom, rhetorically asked, "If so [if Al Qaeda hates freedom], let him [Bush] explain to us why we have not attacked Sweden, for example."
Days ago, on December 11, an Al Qaeda affiliated suicide bomber attacked Sweden—the first terrorist attack in Sweden in three decades, and its first ever suicide attack. The attempt largely failed (only the bomber died, two Swedes were injured). Even so, it "could have been truly catastrophic," said one official.
So much for Sweden epitomizing Al Qaeda's "respect" for freedom. Why the change in policy? In fact, according to an audio-recording issued by the terrorists minutes before the attack, the vitriol is such that "all Mujahadeen [jihadists] in Europe and Sweden" are to prepare for action: "Now is the time to strike, don't wait any longer."
Would-be future jihadists were further advised to attack with "whatever you have, even if it is a knife"—a bag of nails was found near the body of the suicide bomber—indicating that the jihadists may have been taking lessons from Al Qaeda's popular online magazine, Inspire, which, among other things, offers creative tips on how to transform household items into lethal weapons. As for motives, according to the audio-recording, there are three: Sweden will be a target of the jihad "as long as you do not [1] end your war against Islam and [2] humiliation of the Prophet and [3] your stupid support for the pig Vilks."

"And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil." (Genesis 2:9)
It is significant that the first reference to "science" in the Bible is in connection with the tree of the "science" of good and evil. The English word "science" comes from the Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge." In both Old and New Testaments, "science" and "knowledge" translate the same Greek and Hebrew words respectively. Science--properly speaking--is what we know, not naturalistic speculation (as in evolutionary "science"). Adam and Eve knew a great deal about God and His creation, and all of it was "very good" (Genesis 1:31); they did not need to have a knowledge of evil, and God warned them against it (2:17).

'Israeli War Crimes' signs to go on Metro buses by ALLEN SCHAUFFLER / KING 5 News OUTRAGEOUS!!!!
Poll: Do you think Metro should allow the signs on its buses?
SEATTLE – "Israeli War Crimes," the enormous advertisement reads. "Your tax dollars at work."
To the right of the image is a group of children -- one little boy stares out at the viewer, the others gawk at a demolished building, all rebar and crumbled concrete.
It's an ad you'll be seeing soon on a handful of Metro buses in downtown Seattle.
A group calling itself the Seattle Mideast Awareness Campaign has paid King County $1,794 so that 12 buses will carry that message around town, starting two days after Christmas. That's December 27: the two-year anniversary of Israeli attacks on Gaza, aimed at stopping rocket attacks and weapons smuggling.
Ed Mast, a Seattle man who is a spokesperson for the group, says it’s not meant to be an anti-Israel message, but a message designed to generate discussion and awareness.
"I wouldn't say it's an anti-Israel message any more than any complaint about a country is anti-that country. We would like Israel to stop violating human rights. We would like Israel to give equal rights to its Palestinian citizens and its Palestinian subjects who live under occupation," said Mast.At the Pacific Northwest office of the Anti-Defamation League, the ad campaign is seen quite a bit differently.
"We're dismayed," says Community Director Hilary Bernstein, who calls the bus-born advertisement grotesquely one-sided. "Citizens young and old will be seeing this sort of propaganda, this very one-sided distortion. It's unfortunate."
So, is the side of a public bus the right place for this kind of attack? Are the issues that regularly inflame one of the most flammable hot-spots in the world appropriate fare for people strolling the sidewalks of Seattle?
As far as King County is concerned, it's not really up to them what appears on the side of their buses, as long as it fits specific guidelines regarding:
Pornography
Alcohol
Tobacco, and
As long as the images and material used don't interfere with public safety or insult specific groups to the point that a riot could be incited, vandalism could occur or public safety could be threatened.
King County Metro Transit spokesperson Linda Thielke acknowledges some people will be offended by the campaign, but that is not enough to prevent the rolling billboards from hitting the streets.
"As a government, we are mindful of the provisions in state and federal constitutions to protect freedom of speech. So, we can't object these campaigns simply because they offend some people," said Thielke.
The Seattle Mideast Awareness Campaign has targeted their advertising so that the buses carrying their message will run mostly on Seattle routes. NOTE: These people are full of out-and-out-lies! They count on you being a chump and believing them!

Daniel Greenfield article: Monarchist Liberals Fear the Mob Liberals have never been too fond of democracy. Even when they win elections, they prefer to treat those victories as "historic events" that are almost supernatural in nature, to avoid dwelling on the fact that what really happened was that the votes were counted, and they racked up more than the other side. Instead they condescendingly describe their victories as a sign that the country has reached a new level of ethical and intellectual awareness. Like a kindergarten teacher handing out gold stars, liberals pat the country on the head (at least the right parts of it) for making the right decision. As liberals see it, their high level of moral and intellectual awareness, and compassion for all creatures great and small, gives them a permanent mandate for social change. Elections sometimes interfere with the implementation of that mandate, but the mandate itself still goes on. Liberals can't possibly lose the mandate, since it derives not from the "will of the people", but from the tenets of liberalism itself, a perverted version of Natural Rights, in which the officially oppressed peoples of the United States and the world are entitled to all the wealth redistribution they can get. As long as they remain faithful to the liberal agenda, then their mandate is irrevocable.
When liberals do lose elections, they don't attribute it to the will of the people, but rather to the racist white patriarchal majority rising up to obstruct their reforms. The old Communist narrative of revolution vs counterrevolution defines their worldview, not the American narrative in which elected officials are employees, rather than masters or owners, who can be fired or rather not hired back, by the electorate at will during the designated review periods we call elections. So, American liberals live in perpetual fear of the mob. Not the mob that controls some of their unions, or the mobs that used to loot and burn cities under the influence of their propaganda-- but the royalist definition of the mob, as the people of the country who imagine that they have a right to have some say in its laws and taxes. ...
So what have we learned in 2,065 years? Timothy Lee
" The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." ~ Cicero -- 55 B So what have we learned in 2,065 years?

Encore! Obama repeats appearance on 'most corrupt' list By Bob Unruh
Joined by Boxer, Emanuel, Ensign, Pelosi, Rangel, Waters
Barack Obama has been encored on the "Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians" for 2010, a list published annually by the a Washington-based organization that focuses on transparency, accountability and integrity in the government, politics and law of the United States.
"Remember the promise President Obama made just after his inauguration in 2009? 'Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency,'" said Judicial Watch in today's announcement.
"Instead, Americans have suffered through lies, stonewalling, cover-ups, corruption, secrecy, scandal and blatant disregard for the rule of law … this has been the Obama legacy in its first two years."
Useful Idiots and Fifth Columnists: The Media Role in the War Against the West
Address to Honest Reporting conference, Jerusalem, 14 December 2010 We are living through a global campaign of demonisation and delegitimisation of Israel in which the western media are playing a key role.
The British media are the global leaders of this campaign in their frenzied and obsessional attacks on Israel. In the BBC in particular, such virulence attains unparalleled power and influence since it is stamped with the BBC’s global kitemark of objectivity and trustworthiness.
Israel’s every action is reported malevolently, ascribing to it the worst possible motives and denying its own victimisation. Instead of the truth, which is that every military action by Israel is taken solely to protect itself from attack, it is portrayed falsely as instigating the violent oppression of the Palestinians. Tyranny around the world — such as the 20-year genocide in southern Sudan, or the persecution of Christians in Africa or Asia — goes almost unreported, as does Palestinian violence upon other Palestinians.
Yet Israel is dwelt upon obsessively, held to standards of behaviour expected of no other country and, with its own victimisation glossed over or ignored altogether, falsely accused of imposing wanton suffering. .....
.... We will never convince bigots that facts are as they are, or that the evidence of history tells a different story from the one they believe. We cannot fight prejudice with reason. But we have a duty to bear witness to the truth. And we have a duty to fight in our defence. We can best do this by getting off our back foot and putting western fifth columnists on theirs. We should accuse them, not of Jew-hating motives we cannot prove but of absurdities and contradictions and untruths they cannot deny.
We should ridicule them, humiliate them, destroy their reputations; boycott them, not invite them to our houses, show them our disapproval and contempt. Treat them as pariahs. Turn their own weapons against them. In short, we must get up off our collective knees and fight. Justice, human rights and truth are on our side, not theirs. We must reclaim them as our own.
Hillary Clinton at the Brookings Institute by Jerrold L. Sobel
Well, she’s at it again. Last week, possibly the greatest disingenuous “friend” the Jewish people have known since Franklin Roosevelt, Hillary Clinton, delivered a speech on the Middle East at the: Brookings Institution’s Saban Center for Middle East Policy last Friday. Not wasting a moment following her initial platitudes, she immediately began pontificating on her vision of what a Middle East settlement between Israel and the Palestinians should look like. With total disregard for the facts and history of this conflict; the futile “land for peace” gestures made by successive Israeli governments; and the rejectionist posture taken by the Arab world pre-dating even the creation of the Jewish State, Clinton went on and on praising the efforts of the “reformed terrorist” Abbas and “Prime Minister Fayyad;” What he’s Prime Minister of, only she knows. In no way did this fact prevent the lemons in the audience from standing up and giving him a...
PMW needs your help. YouTube has closed down PMW's main video account - PALWATCH - for "violating YouTube terms of use", by supposedly propagating hate speech. Of course PMW does not promote hate speech, but exposes the hate speech of the PA and the Hamas, in order to bring about its elimination.

I initially wasn’t going to post this video on Sonoran Alliance but after reviewing the video, I think it’s important for many Republicans to realize the “battle” taking place here in Arizona over the direction of the Republican party. This video clip shows an incident that occurred in Legislative District 19 on Thursday night. Earlier a vote had been taken and agreed to by the quorum present to close voting at 7:40 PM. Minutes prior to the time deadline, warnings were issued for everyone to get in line in order for their ballots to be accepted in the ballot box. The man seen here in the plaid jacket stood in front of the ballot box for an unreasonable amount of time as many people witnessed him attempt to conduct a stalling maneuver. Once the voting was announced to be closed, the following incident occurred. ...

Saudi Arabia: Women with "seditious eyes" must cover up
No, this isn't from the Onion. Sharia Alert from the Kingdom of the Two Holy Places: "Women with 'seditious' eyes must cover up," from Emirates 247.com, November 14 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
Women unveiling their eyes in public in Saudi Arabia will be forced to fully cover up their faces if their eyes are found to be seditious, according to the Gulf Kingdom's most feared Islamic law-enforcement group.
The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice was reacting to last week's fight between one its members and a Saudi husband, who was maddened by the man's orders to his wife to cover up her face, the Saudi Arabic language daily Alwatan reported on Sunday.
Police are still investigating the incident, in which the husband was stabbed in the back during the fight in the southern province of Hael.
"The Commission members have orders to tell any women in public to cover up her face if they find that her eyes are seditious," the paper said, quoting Sheikh Mutlaq Al Nabit, a Commission spokesman in Hael.
Women in Saudi Arabia, one of the most conservative Muslim nations, must veil their faces in public but some of them uncover their eyes. Nabit did not explain how the Commission members determine that a woman's eyes are seditious. NOTE: HJS Comments: In the holy Quran, sura 33, ayat 59, one reads:
“O prophet, tell your wives and daughters and women-folk of the believers to draw their robes close to them; that is more appropriate as a way for them to be recognized and not be vexed. God is forgiving and compassionate.” On the basis of this ayat (verse) women are condemned to wear the clothing you see on TV, use separate sidewalks in some cities, and cover up everything but their hands and eyes. And now someone wants them to cover up their eyes?
I expect a few honorable souls might remind me that there are three other ayats discussing head-coverings or veils. The hijab, as you may know it today, is another garment that covers up the hair. Women are told they must wear this headscarf; in fact, a number of very young schoolgirls were not allowed to escape a burning building because they were not able to get to their hijabs. Yet, no such ordinance appears in the Quran, that wearing a hijab is mandatory. With the exception of France, Europe has surrendered to the misinformation about the hijabs—each capitulation to non-existing Quranic laws, weakens the European laws and traditions just that much more.
To follow the thread of non-existing rules for a moment, you may know that our attorney general has reacted to another non-existing rule. Although the individual Muslim, it is true, must try to make the pilgrimage, the requirement is only once per lifetime and only if health and finances permit. If one has a job and one can be discharged from a hard-to-find job if one disappears for the period involved, one could very well conclude that health-wise the travel may be fine, but finances are definitely at risk—unless one is rich; in which case one may not need the job anyway, making the entire issue ridiculous.
Returning to the matter at hand, two of the three ayats I mentioned discuss hijabs; that is true. However, the discussed hijabs were not headgear at the time, but a screen in a home to separate women from callers (33:53), and a screen between men and Allah (42:51). In both cases, the Arabic word hijab (screen) was used.
In the ayat 24:31, a head-covering—khimar—was mentioned (the plural form is bikhumurihinna—note: heavy shawls to protect from sun and blowing sand). The ayat said,
“And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and to be mindful of their chastity, and not to display their charms in public beyond what may decently be apparent thereof; hence let them draw their head-coverings over their bosoms (note: at that time, not all bosoms were covered). And let them not display more of their charms to any but their husbands, of their fathers, or their husbands’ fathers…”

Minn: Santa banned from Head Start classes to avoid offending Muslims
LOGAN'S WARNING It’s 6 in the Morning…. video
Do you know where your children are...err....do you know what country you are in?
Where is this taking place? Is it in Saudi Arabia, or how about Egypt? Nope, this is in the good ole’ US of A. Where just about all is tolerated. Even a religion/ideology that is out to destroy America as we know it. What you are hearing is the adhan, or the Muslim call to prayer.
Although it was absolutely freezing out, early Thursday morning I headed over to the Masjid At-Taqwa. Which is located in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn. Fulton St and Bedford Ave, to be exact. Please Check out Michael Carl’s “Guess what Egypt’s Muslims do with Christians…”
Islam watcher, intelligence analyst and writer Christopher Logan agrees, saying the persecution has deep roots. "The Coptic Christians of Egypt have been persecuted under Islamic rule for centuries. Muslims invaded and took over what used to be Christian land back in the 7th Century," Logan observed.
How can you believe the Great and Mighty God who IS LOVE, who created man in His own image,

Science Turns Authoritarian [Excerpts] By Kenneth P. Green and Hiwa Alaghebandian
Science is losing its credibility because it has adopted an authoritarian tone, and has let itself be co-opted by politics.
In a Wired article published at the end of May, writer Erin Biba bemoans the fact that “science” is losing its credibility with the public. The plunge in the public’s belief in catastrophic climate change is her primary example. Biba wonders whether the loss of credibility might be due to the malfeasance unearthed by the leak of emails from the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom, but comes to the conclusion that malfeasance isn’t the cause of the public’s disaffection. No, people have turned against science simply because it lacks a good public relations outfit.
While nobody would dispute the value of a good PR department, we doubted that bad or insufficient PR was the primary reason for the public’s declining trust in scientific pronouncements. Our theory is that science is not losing its credibility because people no longer like or believe in the idea of scientific discovery, but because science has taken on an authoritarian tone, and has let itself be co-opted by pressure groups who want the government to force people to change their behavior.

Daniel Greenfield article: Friday Afternoon Roundup - The Liberal Rape Connection
When lefty stalwarts Michael Moore and Keith Olbermann decided to jump to the defense of an accused rapist, relying on such authorities as Bianca Jagger, they were either thinking that whether Julian Assange raped two women was irrelevant, because he was doing more important progressive duty. That was the same justification used to support Roman Polanski for his brutal rape of a 13 year old girl. It's more convenient to claim that the rape thing was a CIA plot, as Bianca Jagger did (while keeping "rape" in quotation marks) and Olbermann retweeted.
Predictably thin-skinned, Olbermann reacted to a feminist Twitter campaign with shrill insults, before eventually huffing and puffing and abandoning Twitter. Michael Moore penned an open letter to the Swedish government accusing it of ignoring rapes in general. It's a cynical pose that lets him play rape victim advocate, while defending a particular rapist. What Moore ignored is that most of those rapes in Sweden come from Muslim immigrants anyway.
Neither Olbermann or Michael Moore could wrap their heads around the idea that the US government likely pressured Sweden to bring Assange in-- and that Assange is still an accused rapist. That both can be true at the same time.

Meeks says minority contracts should only go to blacks BY FRAN SPIELMAN
Mayoral challenger James Meeks scrambled Thursday to put out a political fire touched off by his suggestion that only African Americans should be eligible for city contracts set aside for minorities and women.
Meeks made the statement on Wednesday during an interview on WVON-AM (1690). It happened during a discussion of why African-American businesses got a 7 percent sliver of Chicago’s $1 billion spending pie through Aug. 31, down from 8 percent a year ago.
“The word ‘minority’ from our standpoint should mean African American. I don’t think women, Asians and Hispanics should be able to use that title,” he said. “That’s why our numbers cannot improve — because we use women, Asians and Hispanics who are not people of color, who are not people who have been discriminated against.”

Kissinger Builds Ties to Chinese Communists
Henry "New World Order" still seems to think he's running U.S. foreign policy.
From the Communist Party of China International Department website;
NEW YORK, Dec. 8 -- A senior official of the Communist Party of China (CPC) met here on Wednesday with former U. S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to further develop bilateral relations.
Wang Jiarui, minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, praised the important contributions Dr. Kissinger made to bilateral relations. Wang stressed China is willing to work with the United States to build a positive, cooperative and comprehensive bilateral relationship in 21st century.
Kissinger, who served as the top U.S. diplomat during the presidencies of Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford in 1970s, said that U.S. and China are experiencing an important stage to further develop bilateral ties. He hoped that both countries will enhance strategic dialogue and cooperate in addressing common challenges.
Wang and Kissinger also exchanged views on international and regional issues of common concern.

100 assault rifles are passed out to border deputies By IDLEFONSO ORTIZ Brownsville Herald
To prepare for potential confrontation against armed gunmen, the Cameron County Sheriff’s Department recently purchased about 100 AR-15 assault rifles to be carried by deputies in their patrol cars.
“We are all here on the border, and as we all know the cartels have some of these type of weapons,” Sheriff Omar Lucio said.
“With these rifles, we have at least the same if not better firepower in case of a major event. We also have to point out that these weapons are powerful enough to penetrate some types of body armor. If we ever get into a tough situation with someone from over there, we’ll be able to go ahead and take care of our people. Hopefully, it never happens. but if it does we’ll be ready,” he said.

WikiLeaks Cables Vindicate Israel by Ryan Mauro
The picture of Israel that is emerging from the documents is the opposite of the damaging narrative that has been advanced for 60 years.
The U.S. and its allies are struggling to contain the damage caused by WikiLeaks, but there’s one country that needn’t worry much and can actually look at the disclosures as positive publicity: Israel. The documents show that the threat from Iran is not an illusion conjured up by the Zionist lobby and that Israel is not the imperialistic aggressor seeking to dominate and brutalize Palestinians as the country is so often characterized.
Jerusalem Post Ettinger challenges widely accepted demographic figures By GIL SHEFLER The Jerusalem Post
Demographic dissident: “The gap between Jewish and Arab growth is closing and shifting in the advantage of the Jews."
When Yoram Ettinger read The Jerusalem Post’s story last month quoting demographer Prof. Sergio DellaPergola of the Hebrew University saying that Jews had become a minority between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, he immediately asked to present his counterargument.
Over the past decade, the former diplomat turned amateur demographer has devoted a large part of his time to advocating the thesis that the figures for the number of Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip have been grossly exaggerated.
“The momentum is Jewish,” he explained over a PowerPoint presentation at a café in Tel Aviv on Thursday.
“The gap between Jewish and Arab growth is closing and shifting in the advantage of the Jews. Other demographers’ mistake is in assuming that demographic trends will be more of the same.”
At the heart of Ettinger’s claim is a 1997 tally conducted by the Palestinian Authority that he said made several errors: First, it counted the population of Arab east Jerusalem twice; Second, it included hundreds of thousands of Palestinian students permanently living abroad. Together this inflated the count by 615,000 people, Ettinger said.
IMRA Hamas focus on nation building: top ideologue
Al Qassam website - The Palestinians have time in their fight for a state, and Hamas is committed to observing a truce with Israel as it builds a nation, senior Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar said.
“We are not in a hurry to buy or to sell our national interest because this is not the proper market,” he said during a wide-ranging interview conducted in the expansive living room of his Gaza City home.
Zahar derided peace talks as a waste of time, heaping scorn on Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas for engaging in negotiations, and ruled out recognition of Israel.

Accused Bomb Plotter's Mosque Tied to Radical Group

Former member of Iran's Revolutionary Guard says Iran uses mosques in U.S. to plot jihad terror
There is no surprise in this, except for those Westerners who buy the politically correct line that mosques are benign houses of worship that are never used for any nefarious purposes. In reality, mosques have been used to preach hatred; to spread exhortations to terrorist activity; to house a bomb factory; to store weapons; to disseminate messages from bin Laden; to demand (in the United States) that non-Muslims conform to Islamic dietary restrictions; to fire on American troops; to fire upon Indian troops; or to train jihadists.
"Iran Using Western Mosques to Plot Terrorism?," from CBN, December 16:
[...] Reza Khalili: Mosques are supposed to be a place for prayer. A place for submission to God. But they are used as a recruitment center, for backdoor meetings, transfer of arms and cash and putting together terrorist activities and I was involved in some of their meetings. ... NOTE: Because Islam, with its shariah law, is not just a religion but also an ideology (both totalitarian and imperialist), a mosque is not just a house of prayer. A mosque is also a center for the propagation of that ideology, an outpost for the spread of that ideology

The Obama Administration Fights For Sharia Law At The Expense of Public School Students by Joseph Klein
... In any case, note that the religious requirement for a Muslim to perform Hajj is once in a lifetime if financially and physically able to do so. This teacher, Safoorah Khan, had no more than two years of service under her belt at the suburban Chicago school when, in 2008, she decided that she could not wait any longer to make her pilgrimage. After the school district twice denied her request, the teacher wrote the board that "based on her religious beliefs, she could not justify delaying performing hajj." She resigned shortly thereafter. In November 2008, Khan filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which punted the case over to the Justice Department after finding that there was reasonable cause to believe that discrimination had occurred. ...
... Radical Muslims are exploiting our democratic system and using the irreproachable shield of "religion" to disguise a barbaric system of oppressive sharia laws. Rather than accommodate them, Western democracies must instead challenge the ideas and methods of radical Islamists at every turn.
20 states ask judge to throw out Obama health law
PENSACOLA, Fla. - Attorneys for 20 states fighting the new federal health care law told a judge Thursday it will expand the government's powers in dangerous and unintended ways.

‘Nazism, Islam shared common enemies - the Jews' By JORDANA HORN Nazis promised grand mufti of J'lem Haj Amin al-Husseini leadership of Palestine after slaughter of its Jews, according to US report.
NEW YORK – A newly released report by the US National Archives details the close collaborative relationship between Nazi leaders and the grand mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, indicating that Nazi authorities planned to use Husseini as their leader after their conquest of Palestine.
Husseini was paid handsomely by the Nazis for his efforts, recruited Muslims for the SS and was promised that he would be made Palestine’s leader after its Jewish population of 350,000 had been murdered.
The report, Hitler’s Shadow: Nazi War Criminals, US Intelligence and the Cold War, was prepared on the basis of thousands of documents declassified under the 1998 Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act.

Obama's "Mainstream" Marxist-Leninist Friend
During his November visit to india, U.S. President Barack Obama was introduced, at a state banquet, to Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Sitaram Yechury .
As the pair shook hands, Obama reportedly said;
“Since I was told that the communists have been a part of mainstream politics of India throughout, I feel really pleased to meet an Indian Communist.”
A few extracts from a recent article by Sitaram Yechury published in the Communist Party of Australia's Guardian, show just how "mainstream" the President's new friend actually is; Though imperialism has strengthened its hegemony and heightened its multifaceted offensive all across the globe...it is on the brink of a systemic crisis which could prove far graver and more encompassing than the current global recession.
However, irrespective of the intensity of the crisis, capitalism does not automatically collapse. It needs to be overthrown. An erroneous understanding only blunts the need to constantly sharpen and strengthen the revolutionary ideological struggle of the working class and its decisive intervention under the leadership of a party wedded to Marxism-Leninism – the subjective factor without which no revolutionary transformation is possible. Couldn't get much more "mainstream" than that, could you?

Fox News The Washington Budget Train Wreck Has Nothing On the U.N. - Durban III And Your Tax Dollars by Anne Bayefsky
The good folks at the U.N., the people with their hands on the money spigot and the never-ending demand for more U.S. tax dollars are hard at work in the hours leading up to the Christmas recess. Budget gurus at Turtle Bay could take on Washington money managers any day. Particularly since they are busy spending your hard-earned cash on such events as a New York City bash known as "Durban III" next September. And guess what, this includes inviting Iranian President Ahmadinejad to lecture Americans about ending racism and intolerance.
The U.N. budget process goes like this. First, the U.N. majority dreams up new ways to spend U.S. taxpayer dollars on conferences which are antithetical to American values. Durban III is a perfect example. The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) invented the idea of celebrating the 10th anniversary of the anti-semitic jamboree held in Durban, South Africa in 2001. U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay, a native of Durban herself, threw the full weight of her office behind the concept.

CANADA FREE PRESS Iran Continues to Produce Disinformation By Rabbi Dr. Daniel M. Zucker, D.D.
Abolghasem Bayyenat, reportedly a trade expert for the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Ministry of Commerce, and admittedly a former political officer in its Foreign Ministry, recently penned an article entitled “Economic Sanctions Against Iran”.1 In it, he claims that sanctions are counter-productive, causing pain only to the Iranian people and causing the regime further to resist efforts to find a diplomatic solution to the problem of nuclear proliferation. In his essay, Bayyenat suggests that Iran has successfully mitigated most of the effects of the sanctions, and that they are only hurting the innocent Iranian population.

2 Arizona Sheriffs Request Meeting With Napolitano
FLORENCE, Ariz. -- The sheriffs of Pinal and Cochise counties have requested a meeting with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano after the killing of a Border Patrol agent.
Thursday's request comes days after Napolitano held a conference call with sheriffs and police chiefs from 30 jurisdictions along the Southwest border. Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu and Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever say they weren't invited to participate in Tuesday's conference call. Both say they're surprised by the apparent snub because they've made border security a priority.
Napolitano is in Arizona through Friday to meet with Border Patrol agents in Nogales and Tucson. Her visit comes in the wake of agent Brian A. Terry's death late Tuesday night in a shootout with suspected bandits near the Arizona-Mexico border.
Carbon Trading Schemes in Trouble and Ignored By Jack Dini Why are carbon trading issues that have gone awry ignored by the media? Two examples: 1-scam artists from around the world, capitalizing on lax regulations at the Danish emissions trading registry have made off with an estimated $7-billion over the last two years, and 2- the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) announced that it will be ending carbon trading this year. Both of these have been underreported (ignored?) by most media.
“Statoil finds more oil in Brazil,” Read Headlines out of Oslo and Rio; We of Course have a Permitorium, so Don’t Expect to Read This in US Papers Anytime Soon.UPI (12/17) reports, “Norwegian energy company Statoil announced that it struck oil at a shallow-water basin about 90 miles from the Brazilian coastline. Statoil said it encountered an oil reservoir that was about 230 feet thick in the Espirito Santo Basin off the coast of Brazil. Analysis indicates the prospect contains medium crude oil. "We are very pleased to have struck oil here and the result will have an important bearing on our decision regarding further exploration activity in this area," Tim Dodson, Statoil's vice president of international exploration, said in a statement. The company said it plans to operate three exploration wells in Brazil next year. Statoil formed a consortium during the summer with Chinese conglomerate Sinochem Group to develop Brazil's offshore Peregrino field in order to start production in early 2011. That field is about 50 miles offshore in the oil-rich Campos Basin in 325 feet of water. Statoil estimates the field holds at least 300 million barrels of oil.”
Interior Announces 10,000 Page Solar Energy Plan, Says They’ll be “Quite a bit of Incentive for the Companies.” Million Dollar Question? Do Consumers Want to Pay for this Expensive Electricity?Washington Post (12/17) reports, “The Obama administration issued proposed guidelines Thursday for solar development on public lands in the West, a move that could speed renewable-energy projects that have been mired in environmental controversy. The detailed analysis, known as Draft Solar Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement, identifies 24 "solar energy zones" in six states that Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said would be most suited "for environmentally sound, utility-scale solar energy production. " "We think it provides a common-sense and flexible framework through which to grow our nation's renewable energy economy," Salazar told reporters in a conference call. Under the 10,000-page plan, which is now subject to public comment for 90 days, developers would have a higher level of confidence that they could receive federal permits establishing solar ventures in specific areas in states including Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah. "There'll be quite a bit of incentive for the companies to focus on development" in the zones, said the bureau's director, Bob Abbey, adding that he and his colleagues have tried to identify areas that are less prone to conflicts over environmental concerns, such as harm to endangered species or drains on local water supplies."

Klein: Palestinian leader carries out massive crackdown on U.S.-backed strongman. Describes as most significant internal clampdown in PA history
Aaron Klein, Jerusalem bureau chief for World Net Daily, writes:
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has carried out a massive crackdown on a strongman within his own Fatah party known for close ties to the U.S., particularly to the CIA.
Senior PA officials are quietly telling WND that Abbas’s move marks the most significant internal Palestinian crackdown on one of its own in Palestinian history, far outdoing even late PLO Leader Yasser Arafat, who notoriously turned against those in his own party suspected of consolidating too much power or plotting against him.
The PA officials speaking to WND are not ruling out that the Fatah strongman, Mohammad Dahlan, was in the process of staging a coup against Abbas. He is accused of raising his own militia that answers to him, as well as smuggling millions of dollars in PA funds.
The move could have a significant impact on future U.S. security coordination with the PA, which until now has been in large part run through Dahlan. Also, the move is expected to strengthen Hamas in Gaza, since Dahlan controlled the main Fatah militias in that territory that opposed the Islamist organziation.

As for those who falsely claim that our alliance with Israel is a danger to this country, what should be said about our friendship with England.
How I was reviled for warning that Britain is a hotbed of Islamic terrorism By Melanie Phillips, Mail Online
Some four-and-a-half years ago, a book of mine was published that caused something of a sensation.
It was called Londonistan, and it was about the way in which – astoundingly – Britain had become the most important centre, outside the Islamic world itself, for the production and export of Islamic terrorism.
Worse yet, I wrote, even after the...

Slavery is one of the gravest crimes, for the criminal robs his victim of everything except what is needed for a slave to carry out his or her owner's wishes.

Solstice Lunar Eclipse
Dec. 21st, the first day of northern winter, when the full Moon passes almost dead-center through Earth's shadow. For 72 minutes of eerie totality, an amber light will play across the snows of North America, throwing landscapes into an unusual state of ruddy shadow.
The eclipse begins on Tuesday morning, Dec. 21st, at 1:33 am EST (Monday, Dec. 20th, at 10:33 pm PST). At that time, Earth's shadow will appear as a dark-red bite at the edge of the lunar disk. It takes about an hour for the "bite" to expand and swallow the entire Moon. Totality commences at 02:41 am EST (11:41 pm PST) and lasts for 72 minutes.
If you're planning to dash out for only one quick look - it is December, after all - choose this moment: 03:17 am EST (17 minutes past midnight PST). That's when the Moon will be in deepest shadow, displaying the most fantastic shades of coppery red.
From first to last bite, the eclipse favors observers in North America. The entire event can be seen from all points on the continent.

'The sea gave her back': Wonder in Israel as ancient Roman statue buried for centuries is uncovered by powerful winter storm By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
A long-lost Roman statue buried for thousands of years has been unearthed by massive winter storms that have lashed the coast of Israel this week.
The mysterious white-marble figure of a woman in toga and 'beautifully detailed' sandals was found in the remains of a cliff that crumbled under the force of 60mph winds and enormous 40ft waves.
The statue, which lacks a head and arms, is about 4ft tall and weighs 440lbs. It was found at the ancient port of Ashkelon, around 20 miles south of Tel Aviv.

Astoria NY: El-Ber Islamic School~ Creating More Slaves to Islam
Besides exposing Sharia Mosques in America I have decided to start looking into what Islamic schools are up to as well. Today we can see that the El-Ber Islamic School located at 25-42 49Th Street Astoria, is not teaching young Muslims to assimilate.
Lets start with the goals of the school.
Goals of El-Ber Islamic School
“And I ( Allah) create not the Jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone)”
[Surah Adh-Dhariyat 56] El-Ber Islamic School seeks to provide its students with education and development under the shade of the Qur’an and authentic Sunnah of the Prophet Mohamed (s.a.w.).
El-Ber Islamic School seeks to be a vehicle for its students providing them with beneficial knowledge, developing their character, and equipping them with skills that will enable them to be leaders of our communities and others, InSha’Allah. To accomplish this goal the school will,InSha’Allah, provide the best curriculum (NEW YORK STATE ADVANCED CURRICULUM) along with the best teachers for the students.

These kids are being taught about Islamic expansionism, and that it is good to lay your life on the line for Islam. Is this part of the assimilation process? ...

The first thing to notice about the Gospels is that they are skillfully designed; each one is tailored to suit its specific perspective. Matthew was a Jew, a Levite; he presents Jesus Christ as the Messiah of Israel"the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. This first book of the New Testament plunges right in to establish Jesus as the Meshiach Nagid, the Messiah the King.
After first establishing the royal genealogy, Matthew then proceeds to focus on the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies: Matthew uses the term fulfilled 82 times! (Again, his interest was to present Jesus as the Messiah of Israel; Jesus credentials are that He fulfilled prophecy.)
The first miracle described in Matthew is also very Jewish"the leper was cleansed, and leprosy was, to Jews, a sign of sin. Matthew also ended his Gospel in a very Jewish way; with the Resurrection. [Matthew left out the Ascension, but remember that it is not a milestone in respect to Jesus Messianic mission (His return, however, will be).] ... Textual evidence suggests that the Gospels were originally written in Hebrew. In hundreds of places the Greek sentence structure betrays a Semitic influence and implies a translation from the Hebrew. ...

EDITORIAL: The Islamic tsunami - Author warns that American exceptionalism is threatened By THE WASHINGTON TIMES Is an Islamic tidal wave coming? "There is a plan to take over Western civilization," warns David Rubin, "and we need to recognize it for what it is." Mr. Rubin is a native New Yorker who served as mayor of the Israeli town of Shiloh. He spoke to The Washington Times about his new book, "The Islamic Tsunami: Israel and America in the Age of Obama" (2010, Shiloh Israel Press).
According to Mr. Rubin, the first wave of the tsunami is Islamic terrorism, which he says is "a strategy intended to intimidate people so they won't speak out when the second wave hits." Mr. Rubin has firsthand experience with terrorist violence; he and his 3-year-old son, "Ruby" Rubin, were wounded in a Dec. 18, 2001, terrorist attack in Jerusalem. Afterward, he established the Shiloh Israel Children's Fund dedicated to helping relieve the trauma suffered by child victims of terrorism. The second and more threatening wave is the creeping takeover of Western political and social institutions, something Mr. Rubin calls the "silent tsunami." The spearhead of this movement is "collusion between Islamic ideologues and the far left to promote the idea of moral relativism," he said, "that all values and ideologies are equal. But they are not. Americans have never believed this."
One dangerous manifestation of this viewpoint is the fashionable intellectual movement to infiltrate Shariah law interpretations into American jurisprudence, something for which there is no need and no precedent and which is antithetical to American norms and traditions. The notion of creating a "Shariah compliant" U.S. Constitution is really a way of ending the American ideal. ...
Daniel Greenfield article: The Depraved and the Deprived
"Hey, I’m depraved on account I’m deprived!",
Gee Officer Krupke, West Side Story
When you replace the morality with class warfare, you also replace good and evil with poor and rich. Actions are no longer good or bad, except within the context of class. Murder is a crime for the rich, but not for the poor, or the rich who claim to be fighting for the poor.
Under class warfare morality, there are two types of criminals. The depraved and the deprived. The depraved are well off. The deprived are not. When the former commit a crime, it is because they are depraved. When the latter commit a crime, it is because they are deprived. And being deprived, they bear no responsibility for what they do.
The practical application of this form of left-wing morality is all around us. When justifying terrorism, the left argues that the terrorists are deprived, but the soldiers who shoot them are depraved. The Israeli civilians who are murdered by terrorists are depraved, on the other hand the poor starving Hamas supporters of Gaza are only deprived. The left holds that the root cause of terrorism is deprivation. On the other hand those who fight terrorists are depraved, because they kill them, instead of giving them what they want and ending their deprivation.
The same model was commonly used by liberals for domestic crime. Criminals were deprived. Their victims were depraved. The robber, the rapist and the murderer became heroes, fighting against oppression. Their victims were the oppressors, no matter whether they were bank tellers, college students or just random passerby. By not being deprived, they were automatically found guilty of being depraved. And even if their liberal credentials were in order, the liberal credentials of the deprived were always better. ...
... So too the depraved-deprived formulation justifies anything that the left needs to do in order to come to power. Lie, cheat, steal, murder and even genocide. Nothing can be wrong when your only moral test is whether a given act will help you achieve power. That is why the left justifies crimes and terrorism. Because they are not in conflict with their morality. Only with the "bourgeois morality" of the ordinary American. Who doesn't matter anyway. Because his commitment to morality and nations labels him one of the depraved. One of those who must be swept aside for the left to come into its own kingdom. Like that of the Soviet Union and North Korea, to build their own kingdom of the deprived in every nation in the free world.
Central Valley: Third World living conditions
Written by CA Political News on December 15, 2010, 06:12 PM
Two Californias Abandoned farms, Third World living conditions, pervasive public assistance -- welcome to the once-thriving Central Valley.
Victor Davis Hanson, National Review Online, 12/15/10
The last three weeks I have traveled about, taking the pulse of the more forgotten areas of central California. I wanted to witness, even if superficially, what is happening to a state that has the highest sales and income taxes, the most lavish entitlements, the near-worst public schools (based on federal test scores), and the largest number of illegal aliens in the nation, along with an overregulated private sector, a stagnant and shrinking manufacturing base, and an elite environmental ethos that restricts commerce and productivity without curbing consumption.
During this unscientific experiment, three times a week I rode a bike on a 20-mile trip over various rural roads in southwestern Fresno County. I also drove my car over to the coast to work, on various routes through towns like San Joaquin, Mendota, and Firebaugh. And near my home I have been driving, shopping, and touring by intent the rather segregated and impoverished areas of Caruthers, Fowler, Laton, Orange Cove, Parlier, and Selma. My own farmhouse is now in an area of abject poverty and almost no ethnic diversity; the closest elementary school (my alma mater, two miles away) is 94 percent Hispanic and 1 percent white, and well below federal testing norms in math and English.
Here are some general observations about what I saw (other than that the rural roads of California are fast turning into rubble, poorly maintained and reverting to what I remember seeing long ago in the rural South). First, remember that these areas are the ground zero, so to speak, of 20 years of illegal immigration. There has been a general depression in farming — to such an extent that the 20- to-100-acre tree and vine farmer, the erstwhile backbone of the old rural California, for all practical purposes has ceased to exist ...

CANADA FREE PRESS TSA: a profile in cowardice By Klaus Rohrich
Following a failed attempt by Richard Reid, the so-called “shoe bomber,” to set off explosives hidden in his shoe aboard an aircraft, the US Government instituted a new rule that forced all aircraft passengers to remove their shoes for inspection prior to boarding. In the wake of the botched attempt by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to blow up an aircraft with explosives hidden in his skivvies, the US Government created a new regulation that forced all passengers to either get a full-body scan or an intimate pat-down by airport security workers. I’m sure we all know what will happen once some terrorist attempts to blow up an aircraft with explosives concealed in his rectum.

Schools and Education
Teachers Blame Lack of Classroom Discipline on Lazy Parents
Between students coming to school too tired and distracted to learn, and parents who automatically side with their child in disputes with teachers, educators are blaming the lack of classroom discipline on parents that "buy off" their kids. Dr. Janice Crouse, Senior Fellow and Director of the Beverly LaHaye Institute, says the data on text messaging and computer usage in the home by teens backs up those charges.
Teaching in the Word and Life – Sprouting
One of the best teachers is experience. I don’t have many specific memories of book-work I did as a home-schooled child, but I will always remember the inner workings of the ear from the model we built, the patterns of beavers from the dam my mother allowed us to dig in the front yard, and the layers of a volcano from the ice-cream “volcano” we created (and ate) with strawberry “lava” and powdered sugar “ash”. Because God created both the natural world and the scriptures, they are also intertwined and provide ample opportunities for teaching both the Word of God and life skills side by side.

Mexico and the Cartel Wars in 2010 By Scott Stewart STRATFOR
In our 2010 annual report on Mexico’s drug cartels, we assess the most significant developments of the past year and provide an updated description of the dynamics among the country’s powerful drug-trafficking organizations, along with an account of the government’s effort to combat the cartels and a forecast of the battle in 2011. The annual cartel report is a product of the coverage STRATFOR maintains on a weekly basis through our Mexico Security Memo as well as other analyses we produce throughout the year. In response to customer requests for more and deeper coverage of Mexico, STRATFOR will also introduce a new product in 2011 designed to provide an enhanced level of reporting and analysis.
In 2010, the cartel wars in Mexico have produced unprecedented levels of violence throughout the country. No longer concentrated in just a few states, the violence has spread all across the northern tier of border states and along much of both the east and west coasts of Mexico. This year’s drug-related homicides have surpassed 11,000, an increase of more than 4,400 deaths from 2009 and more than double the death toll in 2008. ...

In some ways it doesn’t matter whether Velikovsky was right or wrong. The problem was the reprehensible actions of the scientific community. His treatment holds many lessons for today’s debate over climate change.

The Continuing War for Safed By Aryeh Tepper
Safed (Hebrew: Tsfat) is a picturesque town of 32,000 souls nestled in the hills of Galilee. Already a Jewish city in talmudic times, it is celebrated as the site of a great flowering of kabbalistic thought in the 16th century. Today the city hosts an artists' quarter and an annual festival of Klezmer music.
There is also an Arab neighborhood numbering 200 families—a reminder that, since the late 12th century, Jews and Arabs lived together and enjoyed historically neighborly relations. Those relations were torn asunder during the Arab riots of 1929 when Muslims assaulted the city's Jews. With the outbreak of Israel's war of independence in May 1948, Arab forces tried to drive out the Jewish population altogether, but the tables were turned and the Arabs ending up fleeing when the city was conquered by Jewish fighters. ...

Back to the Slave Trade? Arab Traffickers Hold Africans by Gil Ronen
Two hundred and fifty Eritrean and Sudanese migrants are waiting for the right moment to cross over Egypt's border with Israel, Egyptian paper AlMasri AlYoum reported Tuesday. They are currently with traffickers in the Sinai desert, an Egyptian security source said.
While the report does not indicate the ethnicity of the traffickers, it can safely be assumed that they are local Bedouins.
The source said the information was divulged by five Eritreans who were interrogated after they were caught attempting to cross the Israeli border.
Our World: The feminist deception By CAROLINE B. GLICK Nowhere is fraud at heart of feminist movement more apparent than in silence of inhumane treatment of women who live under Islamic law.
... Tyranny unchallenged is tyranny abetted.
And the first way that the organized feminist movement and the Left abet the oppression of women by Islamic authorities is signaling to those authorities that they can get away with it. This truth is laid bare by the responses of Islamic authorities in the rare cases where their oppression of women has received Western attention. ...

Gillard warns 'more bodies likely' - Prime Minister warns Australians to prepare themselves for the likliehood that the death toll from the Christmas Island will rise.
AS AUSTRALIA counted the toll from the tragic sinking of a refugee boat on Wednesday, the people of Christmas Island took small consolation from the fact their improvised rescue effort had saved lives.
At least 28 people, including four infants, perished but some of the nine surviving children owe their lives to the quick thinking of Christmas Islanders, who threw lifejackets into the turbulent sea and tried to direct them to safety.
In all, 42 survivors had been accounted for. The refugees were believed to be mainly Iranians and Iraqi Kurds. Those who were uninjured were yesterday placed in the island's immigration detention centre.

Undercover agent in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard reveals mosques in the U.S. used for terrorism video & article *****
This week’s edition of “Stakelbeck on Terror” gives us a glimpse into the world of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. In an interview with a CIA operative who worked undercover within the Guard, we learn how Islamists are using mosques in the U.S. to advance terrorism and jihad.
Excerpts:
Khalili: Mosques are supposed to be a place for prayer. A place for submission to God. But they are used as a recruitment center, for backdoor meetings, transfer of arms and cash and putting together terrorist activities and I was involved in some of their meetings.
E.S: You made a key point, that Iran used mosques and Islamic cultural centers in the West to further its agenda...could you get a little bit more specific about that? How does Iran uses mosques here in the U.S. and in Europe to plot terrorism?
Khalili: I can tell you from experience: I was part of the operation, I was involved in the Islamic community, and I can tell you clearly that out of mosques, there was a big effort with the Afghan communities by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards members--and with Pakistanis, Turks and others. And they would recruit from them, they would transfer cash and arms. And mosques provided a safe haven, and actually, in my view, were one of the centers of the operation. So if an intelligence agency such as the CIA infiltrates a mosque and understands that there is a specific Guards member who runs it, then actually they could be very successful in drawing a chart of all the terrorist activities in that specific region. That's how central the mosque operation was.
E.S.: And that's in Europe--you were involved in some of these operations in Europe. How about the U.S.?
Khalili: It's absolutely the same. They recruit, they train, they sell the ideology of martyrdom, and many, many are guided and connected to terrorist groups. And you've seen this: many U.S. born citizens, Muslims, unfortunately, have been sold this idea and are sent to Al Qaeda camps or others. But the Iranians are very active in this country through the mosques and Islamic cultural centers to make those connections and run those operations.
Investigative Project on Terrorism News International Al-Qaida Plots Include U.S. as Target IPT News Al-Qaida is preparing a series of attacks on Western targets, especially in the United States, during the Christmas season, Middle Eastern and European officials say.
Iraqi authorities said Wednesday that captured insurgents confessed that al-Qaida is plotting suicide attacks in the United States and Europe in the coming weeks. Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari called the confessions indications of a "critical threat."
Some of the insurgents told Iraqi authorities they are part of a group which takes direct orders from al-Qaida's central leadership. The captured suspects "represent the main structure of the al-Qaida organization in Iraq," said Iraqi Interior minister Jawad al-Bolani.
Last Saturday's car and suicide bombings in Stockholm were just a small part of many attacks planned as part of the wider al-Qaida plot, the captured insurgents said. The Iraqi-born man suspected to be behind the attacks, Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, is now said to have been trained by al-Qaida's affiliate in Iraq, the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI).

Online searchable Koran -- Read it for yourself! Bookmark for reference
This is an excellent reference site for the Koran and Hadith. This site has two major advantages for you:
It provides three parallel English translations of each verse of the Koran so you can see that the particular translation does not make a lot of difference.
All the translations, and the set-up of the website, were approved by the Muslim Student Association so that nobody can argue that these are anti-Islamic or even inaccurate.

FBI: Hate crimes against Muslims rare This is why they have to fabricate them. Remember: the thuggish Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has actually trumpeted fake anti-Muslim hate crimes in the past, in order to use them to score political points. They did this again just weeks ago in Georgia. CAIR, an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas funding case, has claimed that "anti-Muslim hate crimes" have risen sharply in the U.S. since 9/11. In fact, the rate of such crimes has actually dropped. CAIR knows well that victimhood is big business: insofar as they can claim protected victim status for Muslims in the U.S., they can deflect unwanted scrutiny and any critical examination of how jihadists use Islamic texts and teachings to justify violence and supremacism. ...
