Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground:
he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him,
there is no beauty that we should desire him.
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:
and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows:
yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way;
and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth:
he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb,
so he openeth not his mouth.
He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation?
for he was cut off out of the land of the living:
for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death;
because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief:
when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed,
he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied:
by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death:
and he was numbered with the transgressors;
and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Isaiah 53:1-12
Aug. 15, 1945 is the official date of V-J Day, or Victory over Japan Day. V-J Day followed Victory in Europe Day by three months, and with the surrender of Japan who was the last axis power remaining,V-J Day marks the end of World War II.
At noon Japan standard time, Aug. 15, 1945, the Imperial Rescript on Surrender speech by Emperor Hirohito stated Japan's acceptance of the Potsdam Declaration and was broadcast to the Japanese people via radio. The declaration stated that if Japan did not surrender and agree to the terms, "They would face prompt and utter destruction." Earlier
the same day, the Japanese advised the Allies of their surrender by
sending a cable to U.S. President Harry S. Truman. (Note: In U.S. time
zones the date was Aug. 14th.)

Daniel Greenfield article: Islam Means the End of Religious Freedom*****
At an Iftar dinner in the White House, Barack Hussein Obama proclaimed that he supports the building of the Ground Zero mosque as part of his "unshakable commitment to religious freedom". Which of course sounds very noble and good, until you ask a single question, Where is the religious freedom in the Muslim world?
Obama has made the case for Islam in America, on the grounds that America's religious diversity promotes the religious freedom of all. Islam no less than any other belief system. Yet if introducing Islam into America promotes religious freedom, then why is there no religious freedom in the Muslim world? Why are churches firebombed in Malaysia because Christians presumed to use the word Allah? Why are non-Muslims forbidden to enter the city of Mecca, from which Jews and Christians were ethnically cleansed by Mohammed? Why are Coptic Christians being oppressed and humiliated by the Egyptian government? Why are Muslims murdering Buddhist teachers in Thailand? There are a thousand examples, all of which add up to a single conclusion-- Muslims demand religious freedom, yet are not willing to give it to others.
Ali Sina on Ground Zero Mosque, Cordova House
. . . the disturbing part in Rauf’s statement is the fact that he compares Islamic laws with the secular laws of America. This is proof that his goal is to supplant the latter with the former. Statements such as this make it clear that the ambition of Muslims in America is political.
President Obama: “Islam Has Always Been Part of America” Paul Williams, PhD Islam has always been part of America??? Sorry, Mr. Obama, but there were no Muslims among the passengers on the Mayflower or the settlers at Jamestown. Muslims were conspicuously absent from the ranks of George Washington’s Army of the Revolution and played no role in the creation of the American republic - - save for the fact that the new country’s first declaration of war was against the forces of Islam in the form of the Barbary pirates.
Despite popular folklore, few Muslims numbered among the 12 million black Africans who were shipped to the New World from the 17th to 19th centuries. The Muslims, in fact, were not the slaves but the slave traders. .....
"One of the prettiest sounds on earth" is the Muslim call to prayer at sunset."
Barack Hussein Obama as quoted by Nicholas D. Kristof in the New York Times - March 6, 2007
EVERSOLE: Justice delayed for military voters Department ignores states' likely refusal to comply with ballot rules
When Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. installed Thomas E. Perez as assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division, he emphasized the importance of being ready to confront 21st-century issues and doing so in a timely manner. He warned his new assistant, "The quest for justice must be an impatient thing - for we all know what happens when justice is delayed. So I am an impatient attorney general." Military voters know what happens when justice is delayed.

CORRECTION on the following article! Thanks to NewZeal!! Socialists in the U.S. Congress A list of seventy alleged American Socialist Party members has been winging its way around the internet.
Unfortunately, while most of those listed are indeed socialists, there is no such organization as the American Socialist Party. There is a small Socialist Party USA and the U.S.'s largest Marxist organization Democratic Socialists of America - which works largely inside the Democratic Party.
The list actually appears to be a membership roster of the Congressional Progressive Caucus

Cartels out to control society, ICE expert says By Ramon Bracamontes *****
EL PASO -- No region has felt the devastation caused by the Mexican drug cartel wars more than El Paso and Juárez, and the violence is not about to end, a federal agent said Thursday during a conference on border security. The cartels now want to dominate society, said Alonzo R. Peña, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deputy assistant secretary for operations.
"We believe it (the violence) is going to continue to climb," said Peña. "What the cartels are doing is no different than what we are seeing in other parts of world. It is barbaric and extreme, and it will continue."
Peña was one of the speakers at the 7th Annual Border Security Conference at the University of Texas at El Paso. ...
Colorado agency blows off law restricting money for illegals By Bob Unruh Unplugs program to check status of unemployment benefit recipients
A state agency in Colorado has disobeyed a state law because officials in the Department of Labor & Unemployment thought the mandatory verification of the immigration status of unemployment benefit recipients would slow down their process of delivering checks to applicants.
The scandal was uncovered by researcher Todd Shepherd at the Independence Institute, which reported on internal e-mails obtained from the state revealing that officials in the agency told employees to disconnect a computer function that provided the mandatory checks on benefits applicants.
A Border Manifesto July 28th, 2010 By Ed Ashurst Apache Arizona Must Read!
I believe story telling to be an art form, certainly verbal record is the oldest form of recording history and recognized by historians worldwide. There is an old adage among those who love to tell a good tale, “Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.” And yet there are times when the truth is even more fantastic than exaggeration. What I write here is the truth, plain and simple.
I reside on, and manage a large cattle ranch in the far southeastern corner of Arizona. I’ve been here for 13 years and in that time frame have become far too familiar with the illegal trafficking in human beings, marijuana and other illicit drugs. Some have called it “the wetback culture” or “America’s border problem”. Lately it’s been taking steroids.
The recent murder of Robert Krentz by an illegal alien has received massive amounts of publicity worldwide. I live on the ranch bordering the Krentz ranch to the east and north. I can see the Krentz home looking out of my front door approximately 10 miles away. The day after Rob’s death I was involved in tracking the outlaw into Mexico. I saw the outlaw’s footprints where he crossed the border fence. I mention this to say I feel that I’m qualified to speak about current border issues.

Fjordman: On the Illusion of a Moderate Islam*****
This essay overlaps to some extent with earlier essays of mine regarding the alleged existence of a "moderate Islam," including Do we want an Islamic Reformation? and Why We Cannot Rely on Moderate Muslims. In this discussion I take as my starting point the fact that the traditional Islamic religious texts -- the Koran supplemented by secondary sources such as the hadith literature -- through a straightforward reading encourage perpetual violence against non-Muslims around the world until the global supremacy of Islam and its followers has been firmly established. There are plenty of studies available confirming this. Muslim scholars themselves, including prominent ones such as al-Ghazali and Ibn Khaldun, have supported this view for well over one thousand years and continue to do so in the twenty-first century. One complicating factor is that lying to or deceiving non-Muslims using techniques known as taqiyya and kitman are perfectly permissible in Islam and widely practiced by Shias and Sunnis alike. ......
Here are a few short excerpts:
* the traditional Islamic religious texts -- the Koran supplemented by secondary sources such as the hadith literature -- through a straightforward reading encourage perpetual violence against non-Muslims around the world until the global supremacy of Islam and its followers has been firmly established.
* The trouble with self-proclaimed "moderate Muslims" is that many of them, most likely the majority, use deception to confuse the infidels while infiltrating their societies. This implies that non-Muslims cannot know for sure whether Muslims are being honest with them or not and can never fully trust them.
* Finally, from a straightforward reading of Islamic scriptures and history, militant Jihadists frequently have a better scriptural and theological backing for their views than the so-called moderates.
* millions of Muslims would like to recreate the Caliphate and restore it as a symbol of and vehicle for achieving Islamic global supremacy.
* Erdogan urged Turks living in foreign countries to take out citizenship of the new homelands -- not to integrate, but rather to become more politically active,
* Erdogan repeated elements of his controversial speech in Germany in 2008 in which he said: "Assimilation is a crime against humanity."
* Prime Minister Erdogan has repeatedly suggested that "Islamophobia" is a crime against humanity and that there is no such thing as moderate Islam vs. radical Islam, there is only Islam.
* as long as you start out with the texts used by orthodox Muslims -- the Koran, the hadith and the Sira -- it is more or less impossible to come up with a peaceful version of Islam.
* lax Islam will only provide non-Muslims with a temporary respite, not a lasting antidote to violent Jihad, since the core texts continue to exist. Sooner or later, somebody will come along who takes Islamic written texts seriously and decides to implement them.
* empirical evidence from different continents strongly suggests a common pattern wherein Muslims create repression where they constitute the majority and violent unrest where they constitute the minority.
* As long as these texts remain unchanged and in force, so will Muslim violence against non-Muslims everywhere.
* In the long run, one can only hope that Islam will be broken by its confrontation with modernity before it forces mankind into a massive confrontation that could cause tremendous human suffering before the dust settles. Note: This is an outstanding essay from which you will learn a lot about Islam and Islamic history. It is well-worth the half-hour or so it will take you to read it.

Confessed Con Artist Hired, Promoted By Horne Oversees Information Technology for Students throughout ArizonaA confessed con artist is in charge of information technology at the Arizona Department of Education, Attorney General candidate Andrew Thomas announced today.
Tom Horne hired Donald Houde despite his criminal past. Houde is a convicted con man who was sentenced to eight years in prison for stealing $1.7 million from his employer, Mile Hi Cablevision in Denver.
An Attorney General is supposed to prosecute criminals, not hire them; but Tom Horne apparently didn’t get the memo.
In 2005 Horne appointed Donald Houde Chief Information Officer for the State Department of Education. In 2007 Horne promoted him, adding Deputy Associate Superintendent to his title. He earns more than $140,000 a year.
In hiring and promoting Houde, Horne has put a confessed thief in charge of sensitive information involving teachers and students across the state. As CIO, Houde is responsible for the security of student records, background information on teachers including Social Security numbers, and department financial records.

Ica’s Engraved Stones: A Prehistoric Library?
At first sight, the small Peruvian town of Ica has nothing extraordinary to offer. ...
The animals resemble cows, deer, and giraffes, among others. Some also resemble trilobites, extinct fish, and other animals with which we are not familiar. Most surprisingly, several stones show humans trying to kill, or being eaten by, dinosaurs. ...
The animals resemble cows, deer, and giraffes, among others. Some also resemble trilobites, extinct fish, and other animals with which we are not familiar. Most surprisingly, several stones show humans trying to kill, or being eaten by, dinosaurs.
Dr. Dennis Swift, who studied archeology at the University of New Mexico, documented in his book Secrets of the Ica Stones and Nazca Lines evidence that the stones date back to Pre-Columbian times.
Based on the drawings’ content, some believe that the stones are from 65 million years ago, before dinosaurs became extinct, and that there were people existing at that time—the ones who produced the stones.
This idea is not widely accepted, and many believe the stones are fakes made by modern people. In an article, Swift mentioned that one of the reasons the stones are considered fakes is because in the 1960s, paleontologists thought dinosaurs walked dragging their tails, and the stones depict the dinosaurs upholding their tails.
Because the drawings of dinosaurs were considered inaccurate, scientists thought it impossible that the stones were produced by people 65 million years ago. However, it was later discovered that dinosaurs actually walked without their tails touching the ground. “Now we know the paleontologists were wrong. The Ica Stones were right,” wrote Swift. ....
Note: If you read the Bible, you already KNOW man lived with dinos!

Peer-Reviewed Paper Investigating Origin of Information Endorses Irreducible Complexity and Intelligent Design
A peer-reviewed paper, "Information and Entropy -- Top-Down or Bottom-Up Development in Living Systems?," by University of Leeds professor Andy McIntosh in the International Journal of Design & Nature and Ecodynamics expressly endorses intelligent design (ID) via an exploration of a key question in ID thinking: The ultimate question in origins must be: Can information increase in a purely materialistic or naturalistic way? It is not satisfactory to simply assume that information has to have arisen in this way. The alternative of original design must be allowed and all options examined carefully.
A professor of thermodynamics and combustion theory, McIntosh is well acquainted with the workings of machinery. His argument is essentially twofold: ....
Obama’s Ground Zero Mosque by Frank Gaffney
At a White House celebration of Ramadan tonight in the company of representatives of several of the Nation’s most prominent Muslim Brotherhood front organizations, President Obama announced his strong support for one of their most immediate objectives: the construction of a mega-mosque and “cultural center” at Ground Zero. In so doing, he publicly embraced the greatest tar-baby of his presidency.
In the process, Mr. Obama also inadvertently served up what he likes to call a “teachable moment” concerning the nature of the enemy we are confronting, and the extent to which it is succeeding in the Brotherhood’s stated mission: “…Eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.” .....
.... Andrew McCarthy, an accomplished former federal prosecutor (he put away the ringleader of the first effort to destroy the World Trade Center, “the Blind Sheikh,” OmarAbdel-Rahman) and author of the superb New York Times bestseller, The Grand Jihad , wrote in National Review Online: “Henceforth, there should be no place to hide for any candidate, including any incumbent. The question will be: Where do you stand on shariah?” For Barack Obama, the answer is now pretty clear: He stands with shariah.
Mosques and the Islamization of America Amil Imani Disguised as religion, Islam has penetrated democracies with the aim of replacing civility and liberty with the barbarism of 7th century Islamic theocracy and Sharia law. Islam’s multi-pronged attack aims to destroy all that liberty offers.
America, with a long tradition of protecting religious freedom, still clings to the “hands off” practice of leaving alone any doctrine or practice billed as religion. A thorny problem is in deciding what constitutes a religion and who is to make that call. We must keep in mind that to be a loyal and faithful Muslim, a Muslim must adhere to and perform many obligatory acts, as specified in the Quran by Allah and the Hadith/Sunna, during his entire life.
The mosque serves as a house where Muslim devotees gather together for salat (prayer) and worshiping Allah and his messenger, the prophet Muhammad. Aside from worshiping Allah, a mosque is used for a variety of reasons. These meeting places are perfect warehouses of not only indoctrination, but future terrorists, who are made to read and understand the principles of Jihad, martyrdom and Dar ul Harb (“land of war”—any place not Islamacized.)Mosques cost money, and the money for these warehouses of intolerance is coming straight from Saudi Arabia, the number one terrorist state in the world.
These mosques are being infused with an activist strain of Islam, Wahhabism.If you have to ask where the Saudi’s are getting their money, you are not paying attention...it's coming from you. Not to mention, the current U.S. administration in its continuous war against the American people, is doing everything it can to accommodate the “Cordoba Initiative” project at taxpayers’ expense “that is spearheading plans to build a $100 million Islamic center at Ground Zero, the site where nearly 3,000 Americans were killed by jihadists on 9/11.” The recent CNN Poll shows 68% of American voters oppose the Ground Zero Mosque.
Spencer: Obama's Ramadan Delusions Heedless, however, of the inaccuracy of his words, Obama charged ahead and compounded it. Ramadan’s rituals of fasting and prayer, he said, “remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings.”
Here again, one wonders how the designation of non-Muslims as “the most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6) advances human dignity, much less tolerance or justice. The command that Muslims must fight against Jews and Christians until they pay a religion-based poll tax, jizya, “with willing submission and feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29) likewise seems to militate against the idea of universal human dignity that Obama professes to have discovered in Islam. ....
'Discovery': Officer's defense team demanding Obama docs By Bob Unruh 'I can't think of a single reason why the judge would take the government's position'
The key defense attorney for an Army officer being put on trial for refusing orders he views as suspect because of the possibility Barack Obama is not eligible to be commander-in-chief is demanding documentation from the president.
On the G. Gordon Liddy radio show today, Paul Rolf Jensen said the request for "discovery" in the Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin case – the access by the defense to documentation in the government's possession that could help its case – is being submitted.
Jensen had been asked whether there is a legal basis for denying a defendant on trial on criminal charges legitimate access to documentation that would prove his case.

Atlas Shrugs Headlines Islamic supremacist mosques: a primer for protest Emboldened by their man in the White House, the Hamas-linked Muslim Brotherhood front Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), is ratcheting up their offensive on patriotic Americans who dare to challenge Islamic supremacism and the creeping Sharia (Islamic law) into secular American life.
On Thursday, CAIR published an Action Alert entitled “Action: Report Harassment by Anti-Mosque Protesters.” In it, CAIR (which the Justice Department named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation jihad terror funding case in 2007) calls on Muslims in the United States to “report any harassment of worshippers attending Jummah prayers tomorrow and throughout the month of Ramadan.” CAIR is using the Goebbels (Hitler’s propaganda minister) method to construct false narratives and bogeymen. There is no harassment.
This is all part of CAIR’s attempt to create from a whole cloth yet again a narrative of victimhood regarding Muslims in the U.S., when it is their Islamic machine that relentlessly smears, demonizes, attacks, and attempts to destroy those who are fighting for basic human rights for all.

Look what Obama's pushing Israel to do now By Aaron Klein Palestinians warn they're unprepared to assume security control
JERUSALEM – The U.S. is pushing Israel into conceding strategic territory in the next few months despite admissions from the Palestinian Authority it is not fully ready to assume security control over the areas in question, WND has learned.
As a confidence gesture to the PA, the Obama administration has asked Israel to withdraw its forces from Area C – neighborhoods in the West Bank and eastern sections of Jerusalem where Israel maintains full security control. The PA's American-trained security forces would assume full control of those sections, according to the U.S. plan.
The gesture is part of a series of other measures the U.S. has asked of Israel in a bid to restart direct talks with the PA. Other gestures include easing antiterror roadblocks and checkpoints and facilitating greater movement of Palestinian civilians in the West Bank.
Netanyahu denies plans to evacuate 50,000
JERUSALEM, Aug 13, 2010 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Israel denied a report Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu agreed to evacuate 50,000 settlers to entice the Palestinians to resume peace talks.
A report in the London based al-Hayat newspaper, said Netanyahu drafted a new declaration of principles that states Israel's willingness to withdraw from 90 percent of the West Bank and evacuate 50,000 settlers, hoping it will entice the Palestinians to return to the negotiating table.
Netanyahu's office Friday released a statement calling the newspaper report a lie.
The newspaper based the report on what it described as "knowledgeable sources."
The latest visit to the region this week by U.S. envoy to the Middle East George Mitchell failed to achieve results.
However, media reports Friday said European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton believes Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas may agree to return to the negotiating table as soon as next week.

Iran's 7th-Century Justice BY SHIRIN EBADI Iran's penal code reserves the harshest punishments for women.
The harrowing case of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani—a mother of two sentenced to stoning by an Iranian court for adultery—has rightfully drawn attention to Iran's draconian penal code, which reserves its cruelest punishments for women. Even Tehran's new political ally, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil, has been roused into action, publicly offering Ms. Ashtiani asylum in his country.
Iran has yet to respond formally, and a foreign leader can have no direct bearing on a domestic legal proceeding. But the intervention—a direct appeal to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad—demonstrates that the Islamic Republic's human rights record can't be divorced ....
hjs comments: We may ask, “Why are the Iranians hanging on to laws and punishments that have been extant since the 7th century?” The answer is not pure and simple, but twists and turns as we look at such ideas through the prisms of tradition, culture, religion, and perhaps a bit of practicality.
The traditions of many nations in the 7th century were relatively barbaric by today’s standards. Not all jurists or chief executives of nations subscribed to the idea of reforming rather than retaliating. Even scanning the sharia today shows a surprising number of rules for retaliating for specific people, under differing circumstances. The cultures of many nations today are part of their religion; it is difficult to determine why some practices are part of a particular religion, Islam, since the observance of these practices appears to be in direct violation of religious teachings. Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a case in point. Honor killing is another case in point. In the latter cases, it is normal for the remains to completely disappear, and the name of the victim to be deleted from all records, as if she (normally it would be a female) never existed, so the killing never happened. Practicality only enters the picture whenever one calculates the number of personal laws there are, laws against God as opposed to laws against the State, the number of people living under these laws, and the number of prisons Iran or any other nation would need to incarcerate the “guilty”. You might want to know that under the Sharia, it is no crime to take the life of your children or their children, so honor killing is usually not a crime to Muslims. So, western states with a large Muslim population must be ready to deal with those crimes according to that State’s laws, and forget about what the sharia says. Many States are afraid to do that because, “It’s a religious thing.” Baloney!Book ‘em, Dan’l!In Muslim lands, people who are not Muslims are not protected by the sharia unless they accept the status of Dhimmi (3rd class citizen) and pay the jizya tax under humiliating circumstances for the limited protection that the status offers. Their body of laws, the sharia is largely based on the Qur’an and the Sunna. One cannot even consider words like “change” and “reform” in Islam. You might want to know that Qur’an 33:57 is interpreted to justify the immediate killing of anyone insulting the Qur’an, or insulting their prophet or their religion itself. Using the words “change” or “reform” are considered by many Muslims an insult to the Qur’an, the prophet, and the religion. Therefore, it would be necessary for each concerned nation to develop a more modern body of laws completely independent of the Qur’an and the Sunna. If anyone wishes to start a civil war somewhere, that is one way to do it.
Now that wasn’t difficult to understand. Or was it? ... Harry J Sweeney

Outed! Congresswoman member of socialist group President Obama also closely tied to Marxist-oriented organization

EDITORIAL: Obama's Islamic America - What country is he talking about? THE WASHINGTON TIMES ***** ...... Most puzzling is the president's claim that "Islam has always been part of America."Islam had no influence on the origins and development of the United States. It contributed nothing to early American political culture, art, literature, music or any other aspect of the early nation. Throughout most of American history, the Muslim world was perceived as remote, alien and belligerent.Perhaps the president was thinking about the Barbary Pirates and their role in the founding of the U.S. Navy, or Andrew Jackson's dispatch of frigates against Muslim pirates in Sumatra in the 1830s. Maybe he was recalling Rutherford B. Hayes' 1880 statement regarding Morocco on "the necessity, in accordance with the humane and enlightened spirit of the age, of putting an end to the persecutions, which have been so prevalent in that country, of persons of a faith other than the Moslem, and especially of the Hebrew residents of Morocco." Or Grover Cleveland's 1896 comment on the continuing massacre of Armenian Christians: "We have been afflicted by continued and not infrequent reports of the wanton destruction of homes and the bloody butchery of men, women and children, made martyrs to their profession of Christian faith. ... It so mars the humane and enlightened civilization that belongs to the close of the nineteenth century that it seems hardly possible that the earnest demand of good people throughout the Christian world for its corrective treatment will remain unanswered." .......

Heritage Action Stalls New START Treaty
Unfortunately, proponents of New START prefer to dismiss our “winning” arguments as purely political. In doing so, they are avoiding a serious debate on the questionable merits of this treaty. That is wrong.
As currently written and understood the treaty:
· ignores Russia’s massive tactical nuclear arsenal;
· fails to mention the dual nuclear threat posed by North Korea and Iran;
· empowers an independent entity to change the treaty;
· limits America’s missile defensive capabilities;
· contains weak verification measures; and,
· restricts future conventional arms.
Serious arms control experts share these concerns: Eric Edelman, former undersecretary of defense for policy; Robert Joseph, former undersecretary of state for arms control and international security; former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton; and Paula A. DeSutter, former assistant secretary of state for verification and compliance.
When not dodging serious arguments against the treaty, proponents act offended that Heritage Action is taking this debate directly to the American people. Washington’s self-anointed foreign policy czars do not believe you should have a voice in this debate. They prefer the old days, when disarmament groups “lobbied quietly behind the scenes.” Sign the petition

ANALYSIS-Grain price rise may fuel Mideast, Europe unrest By Peter Apps, Political Risk Correspondent
* Price rise comes on top of impact of financial crisis
* Discontent could fuel street unrest
* Middle East, North Africa, Europe seen most at risk
* Much depends on how long price rally lasts
LONDON, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Rising grain prices from Russia's drought and fires will pressure populations already hit by the financial crisis and could stoke unrest -- particularly in the Middle East, North Africa and parts of Europe.
Wheat prices have risen by nearly 70 percent since June after Russia suffered its worst drought in 130 years and are at their highest since 2008, when the last major food price rally sparked protests and riots in a string of emerging nations.
Analysts warn that if prices stay high then the threat of street violence will increase -- at least up to a point.
U.S. warned of threat worse than Katrina, plague, WWII By Bob Unruh
Millions could die: 'This is clearly not something you ever want to experience'
More horrifying than the plague of Black Death across Europe. More costly in lives than World War II. Financially it could make the Katrina repairs look like a pocketful of change. And it's not a matter of if, but when.
That's the alarming warning being issued by John G. Kappenman, owner of Storm Analysis Consultants and an expert of the dangers of electromagnetic pulse damage to modern society, with a list of qualifications after his name as long as a phone book.
The issue of EMP dangers to the Earth, either from a CME, a coronal mass ejection, which basically is an eruption of power from the sun, or from a nuclear-triggered EMP wave that truly is intended to destroy a society, have been the subject of multiple reports in recent months.
It is way past time to prepare

You should do your best to prepare a full one year supply of food, a full one year supply of water (or the ability to properly filter/purify environmental water for at least a year's time, in case the municipal supplies fail). Remember, if electricity goes out, water pressure in the city pipes will quickly fall, and let's not even get started on what could happen to the sewers. So, water, food, and fuel, in that order, will be your highest priorities
A Brief Message by Paul Eidelberg
What Machiavelli (the father of modern political science) knew compared to Aristotle (the father of political science per se) one could put on a postage-stamp.
Aristotle, who wrote treatises on 150 regimes, offers a general classification of regimes into three good and three bad. The definition of a good regime is one whose rulers rule in the interest of the ruled. Hence, a bad regime is one whose rulers rule in their own interest.
The three good regimes in descending order of goodness are Kingship, Aristocracy, and "Polity" or Republic. The three bad regimes are corruptions of the three good regimes: Tyranny, Oligarchy, and Democracy.
By "oligarchy" Aristotle means the rule of the "few," typically the wealthy. By "democracy"—of which he mentions five types—Aristotle means the rule of the "many," typically the poor.
As I have shown in The Philosophy of the American Constitution: A Reinterpretation of the Intentions of the Founding Fathers, the original Constitution of the United States resembles a "polity" or Republic or "mixed regime" which synthesizes democratic, oligarchic, and quasi-aristocratic principles. I call the statesmanship of the Founders the "politics of magnanimity." They rise above class and appeal to the reason of men, rather than the passions.
During the ascendancy of capitalism in the 19th century, America became increasingly oligarchic. A "politics of avarice" gained ascendancy until the rise of the Progressive Movement and Woodrow Wilson. Wilson initiated a democratic revolution and a new kind of politics, the "politics of compassion." This politics fosters resentment against the wealthy. More importantly, it downgrades two key principles of the American Declaration of Independence—individual freedom and limited government. Wilson may thus be deemed the father of Statism in America. His legacy is of the leveling democratic state, further developed by Franklin D. Roosevelt. This State will come to an end with Barack Obama.

Weekly Featured Profile Neil Abercrombie was a covertly socialist Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives 1st district of Hawaii, until he resigned in early 2010 to seek the Governorship of Hawaii. While attending the University of Hawaii in the early 1960s, Neil Abercrombie was part of a circle that included Barak Obama and Stanley Ann Dunham, the parents of future U.S. President, Barack Obama. Abercrombie has been a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus from as early as 1998 to the present. The Council for a Livable World, founded in 1962 by long-time socialist activist and alleged Soviet agent, Leo Szilard supported him in his successful run as U.S. Representative for Hawaii.
DSA Controversy: Following evidence that Abercrombie had been a member of the Democratic Socialists of America circa 1990, his office made a statement denying the assertion, stating: "Neil has never been part of any socialist or communist organization." This denial was followed by a further piece of evidence making it clear that Abercrombie was in fact a member of the Marxist-based DSA. Abercrombie's wife was a member of the DSA's Feminist Commission. In 1990 he was listed as a "DSAer Democrat" and in 1992 he delivered an "extemporaneous, impassioned speech" to an explicitly D.S.A. organized "Socialist Caucus". Also speaking at the conference were confirmed DSA members, Cornel West, Bob Fitrakis and Ed Vargas. In 2006 he spoke alongside Dennis Kucinich and former DSA National Director, Christine Riddiough at a DSA Political Action Committee meeting for Bernie Sanders, at the home of Stewart Mott. (more...)

Un-American American History Courses by Phyllis Schlafly
Arizona's new law that requires the police to ask people to show ID, which was just knocked out by a supremacist judge, may not be the most controversial Arizona law about illegal aliens. Governor Jan Brewer signed another law this year that bans schools from teaching classes designed to promote solidarity among students of a particular ethnic group.
This law bans classes that "promote the overthrow of the United States government" or "promote resentment toward a race or class of people" because schools should treat all pupils as individual Americans. The issue arose because the Tucson School District offers courses in Mexican-American studies (known locally as Raza Studies) that focus on that particular group and its influence.
The law doesn't prohibit these classes so long as they are open to all students and don't promote ethnic resentment or solidarity. However, Arizona's Superintendent of Public Instruction, Tom Horne, says the basic theme of the Mexican-American studies program is that Latino students "were and continue to be victims of a racist American society driven by the interests of middle- and upper-class whites." Among the goals listed for the Mexican-American Studies are "social justice" and "Latino Critical Race Pedagogy." Pictures of the classroom showed the walls decorated with "heroes" such as Fidel Castro and Che Guevara.

Blacklisted Scientist Challenges Global Warming Orthodoxy BY DIANNA COTTER The American and international press have also ignored this publication.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for years has been predicting the greenhouse effect can spin out of control. They claim that there exists a scientific consensus that CO2 is pushing the planet into an unrestrained greenhouse effect, that it’s raising global temperatures and it must be stopped. IPCC was created in the 1980s by the United Nations. They have released findings that say that carbon-based emissions released into the atmosphere by humans, mostly in wealthy, Western countries, must be reduced, or a catastrophe will result. They have frequently used this scare tactic. It has been easy to frighten people, as the science involved takes some significant and serious study. Most people have relied on expert opinions because they lack their own expert knowledge in the field, a factor the IPCC has relied upon in the past.
Today Hungarian atmospheric physicist Dr. Ferenc Miskolczi, says he has found and proven that the IPCC and their experts are wrong in their theory about how the greenhouse effect works. In the process, he has shown that changing CO2 concentrations are not the determining factor the IPCC and other scientists claim.
Over the last 20 years Miskolczi achieved several results which prove that the greenhouse effect in the Earth’s atmosphere is completely dependent on energy. The IPCC would have the world believe that it is the ingredients of the atmosphere which matter more than the energy, and that it is rising levels of CO2 that are causing global warming.

Jewish Indy Headlines Guide to the Perplexed By Caroline B. Glick
Israel's leaders are reportedly concerning themselves with one question today: Are there any circumstances in which US President Barack Obama will order the US military to strike Iran's nuclear installations before Iran develops a nuclear arsenal?
From Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu down the line, Israel's leaders reportedly raise this question with just about everyone they come into contact with. If this is true, then the time has come to end our leaders' suspense. The answer is no.
To all intents and purposes, there are no circumstances in which Obama would order an attack on Iran's nuclear installations to prevent Iran from developing and fielding nuclear weapons. Exceptions to this statement fall into two categories. Either they are so implausible that they are operationally irrelevant, or they are so contingent on other factors that they would doom any US attack to failure.

Iran's 7th-Century Justice BY SHIRIN EBADI Iran's penal code reserves the harshest punishments for women.
The harrowing case of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani—a mother of two sentenced to stoning by an Iranian court for adultery—has rightfully drawn attention to Iran's draconian penal code, which reserves its cruelest punishments for women. Even Tehran's new political ally, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil, has been roused into action, publicly offering Ms. Ashtiani asylum in his country.
Iran has yet to respond formally, and a foreign leader can have no direct bearing on a domestic legal proceeding. But the intervention—a direct appeal to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad—demonstrates that the Islamic Republic's human rights record can't be divorced ....
Afghan clerics seek return to strict Islamic law By Sayed Salahuddin
KABUL (Reuters) - Afghanistan's largest gathering of clerics, who met to discuss reconciliation with the Taliban, has called for the revival of strict Islamic law as the country seeks ways to win militants away from a growing insurgency.
About 350 of the Islamic clerics, or ulema, met for three days this week, the meeting ending with a declaration calling on President Hamid Karzai to enact sharia, or Islamic law, including punishments such as stonings, lashing, amputation and execution.

The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
Psalm 24:1
The doctrine of creation is not merely a "scientific" debate. The opposite concepts of natural and evolutionary development versus the fiat creation of an omnipotent, omniscient, and transcendent Being impact every facet of our worldview. God owns the earth; He is its Creator (Genesis 1:1; Psalm 24:1-2; Revelation 4:11; and hundreds of other passages throughout the Bible).
Those who revere the biblical revelation of God are not to be in conflict with this most basic of all doctrines. God owns the living creatures that inhabit the earth (Psalm 50:10). He owns the metals that establish monetary value in the earth (Haggai 2:8). He claims ownership over our bodies. He even states ownership of our very souls (Ezekiel 18:4). Nothing is excluded from the sphere of His ownership and kingship (1 Chronicles 29:11-12; Isaiah 45:12). And we are to manage God's resources as stewards of the Owner.

New Law Review Article: Zeal for Darwin's House Consumes Them: How Supporters of Evolution Encourage Violations of the Establishment Clause
Casey Luskin at ENV reports on his latest law review article, which documents the way evolution supporters smuggle religious dogma into the classroom:
The common stereotype in the controversy over teaching evolution holds that it is the opponents of evolution who are constantly trying to "sneak religious dogma back into science education." While perhaps in some instances this caricature is not entirely undeserved, the mainstream media and legal community pay scant attention to incidents where proponents of Darwinian evolution transgress the boundary between church and state erected by the Establishment Clause. By documenting ways that evolution advocates encourage violations of the Establishment Clause--in some instances, explicitly advocating state endorsement of pro-evolution religious viewpoints in the science classroom--this Article will show the impropriety of the common "Inherit the Wind stereotype."
THE LEFT - OUT NEWS
OBAMA'S US TREASURY DEPARTMENT PUSHING ZAKAT (ISLAMIC DONATIONS) We know that terror is funded through the use of "islamic charities." The most glaring example was the Holy Land terror funding trial, the largest in US history. CAIR, ISNA, MAS, and the MSA were all named fronts for the Muslim Brotherhood and co-conspirators.
I find this statement from the US Treasury department absurd and dangerous. Where in our Constitution does it speak to this? Obama is aggressively pushing zakat. No one has ever stopped Muslims from giving to Islamic charities. It was "charities" that funded blowing up babies that were the problem.
Obviously the separation of church and state is radically enforced by the likes of the ACLU et al. But what about the separation of mosque and state?

Daniel Greenfield article: It's Not the Hasbara, It's the Reality*****
Hasbara or Pro-Israel PR has become the great obsession of Pro-Israel activists and the Israeli government. One article calls for Israel to spend as much effort on communicating its message, as it does on its defense budget. Another castigates the many failures of Israeli diplomats in getting their message across. Still another features Frank Luntz who has been brought to tell Israeli leaders that they need to use kinder and gentler language to win the debate. Stop saying "security" and start saying "protecting innocent life", and everything will be well. Except of course it won't. Because the problem is not in the message, it's in the reality. ....
.... The radicalization of liberalism, means that there is much less support among liberals for Israel, not so much because Israel has changed, but because what used to be the hard left is now mainstream liberalism. .... The only way to win at PR against a pro-terrorist left and its Islamist allies, is to take the war off the table by winning it. Because an indefinite crisis will bring enemies out of the woodwork, and give bigots plenty to feed on. That's the cold hard reality of it. The only way Israel can win the PR war, is by defeating the terrorists. Trying to win the PR war in order to be able to fight the terrorists, has been a common mistake in the Israeli paradigm. Dispensing with that paradigm as quickly as possible and winning the fight, is the only way to get the monkey of hate off Israel's back.

Liberty or Unlimited Submission. Which do you choose?
Thomas Jefferson: "the several States composing the United States of America, are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their General Government" Jefferson's words are the simplest, but possibly most powerful, explanation of the structure of our federal, not national, form of government. The federal government is authorized to exercise only those powers delegated to it in the constitution. His advice when it doesn't? "a nullification of the act is the rightful remedy."

EDITORIAL: No time for Islam
In a severe case of clock envy, Saudi Arabia has erected a nearly 2,000-foot-high timepiece intended to stake a symbolic claim for Mecca as the world's center. Islamic scholars have proposed that the Royal Mecca Clock Tower supplant the observatory in Greenwich, England, to set the new global standard time. It is the latest form of Muslim global outreach - taking control of time itself.

Israel National News Headlines Gaza's Internal 'Tinder Box' May Explode Soon by INN Staff A showdown in Gaza between Syrian and Iranian-backed factions is likely to occur any day, Debkafile reports, quoting a military source. The source said that the possible clash would be caused by the strained relations between the ruling Hamas party, led by Khaled Mashaal in Damascus, and the Islamic Jihad, Iran's proxy in Gaza. Saudi Arabia's recent move to pull Syria away from supporting the Hizbullah and Iran, said Debkafile, is one of the latest developments that may spark an internal Gaza war. Hamas and Islamic Jihad are both reportedly preparing for a fight, with both sides ordering a Gaza-wide call-up of their forces. Al-Qaeda Plots Against Saudi Monarchs, Israel

Superbug Spreads From Indian Subcontinent to the UK By Cassie Ryan A new class of drug-resistant superbugs may be spreading across the globe, according to a report published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases on Thursday, Aug. 11.
At least two people have died in the U.K. while infected. However, doctors are unsure whether the bug was the primary cause of death as the patients were already in intensive care with other illnesses.
In the U.K., about 50 infections have been reported so far. Seventeen of those infected had direct contact with India or Pakistan, and many patients who had the infection had been admitted to hospitals there. Several had travelled to India for cosmetic surgery.
According to BBC News, infections have already been passed from patient to patient in U.K. hospitals. Similar infections have been seen in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the Netherlands.
The key factor in the Lancet report is an enzyme which researchers are finding in common gut bacteria like E. coli. The gene that produces New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) renders bacteria resistant to most antibiotics, including powerful carbapenems often used as a last resort when other antibiotics fail.

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
thou hast put all things under his feet:
All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea,
and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
Psalm 8:6-8
BIBLE - CREATION - LIFE - FAMILY
The BEST things in life aren't THINGS
Coal—how was it formed, and how long does it take?The commission to rule over earth was never withdrawn from mankind by the Creator.
That "Dominion Mandate" implies authorization for the following human enterprises:
• Discovery of truth--science, research, exploration
• Application of truth--agriculture, engineering, medicine, technology, etc.
• Implementation of truth--commerce, transportation, government, etc.
• Interpretation of truth--fine arts, literature, theology
• Transmission of truth--education, communication, homemaking
When that authority was first delegated by the Creator, earth was "very good" (Genesis 1:31). However, Adam's failure in his first assignment created an ongoing conflict with mankind's efforts on every front. Now, the "whole creation groaneth" as the very ground from which all things are made (Genesis 3:17-19, 23-24) conflicts with the environment. "Thorns also and thistles" erupt from our efforts to cultivate (Genesis 3:18). Sin and death are the conditions of existence, and ignorance of God's ideas, apart from God's revelation, is rampant. Humanity's drive to serve ourselves, not God or others, and the ability to obey comes only through God's new creation.
One day, all these wrongs will be righted with the coming of the Messiah. Until that day, our mandate remains as stewards over earth. ICR Days of Praise
Home Depot Sued for Religious Discrimination RAVEN CLABOUGH
A Home Depot in Okeechobee, Florida, exhibited clear bias against a Christian worker who refused to remove his button that read “One Nation under God, indivisible” from his apron. Trevor Keezor, who was working at Home Depot to earn money for college, states that he wore the button for over a year to show his support for his country, his brother who currently serves in the military, and for God.
Keezer explains, “I was just doing what I think every American should do, just love my country.”
Keezer adds that he wore the button in his store since March 2008, but was asked to remove the button when he began bringing the Bible to read during his lunch break. He was fired on October 23, after he refused to remove his pin and replace it with the company-approved pin that reads, “United We Stand.”
YOEST & KING: Rights for the unborn
Pressing on for 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness'
President Obama's selection of Elena Kagan, the most demonstrably pro-abortion Supreme Court nominee in recent memory, presented a daunting challenge to pro-life leaders, as her 63 Senate votes during Thursday's confirmation attest.
Not unreasonably, observers have asked: Why then, do we bother?
The question resonates for this particular political confrontation but applies equally to the larger issue as a whole as we near four decades of abortion on demand in America post Roe v. Wade. We bother because, in the end, we will win.
THE LEFT - OUT NEWS
Daniel Greenfield article: A Nation of Living Constitutions***** "Today, people are more persuaded than ever that they have perfect freedom, yet they have brought their freedom to us and laid it humbly at our feet." The Grand Inquisitor Freedom doesn't grow on trees. It exists by virtue of independence from the powers that might take that freedom away. Since there is no such thing as perfect freedom, and we must all live under one form of authority or another, rights exist to fence out authority from the space allotted to freedom. Rights create an artificial form of freedom through a covenant with the authorities. The more leverage the citizens have over the authorities, the more they can prevent those rights from being trampled upon. The problem begins when those rights are taken for granted. For example when people begin to assume that the rights they enjoy are inherent to the system, so that they don't have to worry about them. As long as the system exists, so do their rights.Rubio Blasts Reid for Saying He Doesn't Understand How Hispanics Could Be Republican
Here's what the President said:
Right now all around this country there are groups with harmless-sounding names like Americans for Prosperity, who are running millions of dollars of ads against Democratic candidates all across the country. And they don't have to say who exactly the Americans for Prosperity are. You don't know if it's a foreign-controlled corporation. You don't know if it's a big oil company, or a big bank. You don't know if it's an insurance company that wants to see some of the provisions in health reform repealed because it's good for their bottom line, even if it's not good for the American people. The President and his friends on the Left are back to accusing you and me of being front groups for "foreign-controlled corporations" or for "big banks" or a "big oil company" - the President personally denigrates the integrity of over 1,200,000 Americans just because he's angry that we're taking an effective stand against his liberal policies.

Obama’s Stealth Revolution* Prof. Paul Eidelberg ***** Pamela Geller’s The Post-American Presidency reveals that America has been systematically penetrated by countless Muslim organizations. Their proliferation, like the proliferation of mosques, is a cancer that has metastasized. Many of these organizations and mosques are funded by Saudi Arabia and Iran. They operate in all sectors of American society and government. Many are connected with terrorist organizations, including the Muslim Brotherhood, whose ultimate goal is the Islamization of America and the destruction of Israel.
Weeding out these subversive elements is rendered all the more difficult by the constraints of the First Amendment and American civil rights which Muslims know how to exploit to America’s detriment. What makes this task virtually impossible is the man in the White House. Obama’s Leftist and Muslim appointees are well placed in the executive and judicial branches of government. A stealth revolution is occurring in America, Obama brazenly identifies with Islam. He is committed to America’s demise as a sovereign state. He knows where to begin.
Obama scorns the foundational principles articulated in America’s Declaration of Independence: its doctrine of “natural rights,” its emphasis on individual freedom and limited government. For Obama, not the rights so much as the needs of individuals should be the primary concern of government. This requires enlarging the scope and power of government, and this will permeate the economic, social, and even the private domains. Obama is a radical socialist. He hates capitalism. He is committed to a redistribution of wealth on a national as well as global scale.
This president rejects the immutable doctrine of natural right because he is steeped in progressivism and cultural relativism. He rejects American “exceptionalism,” which is rooted in the desire to liberate rather than dominate—so contrary to the ethos of Islam. He turns a blind eye to America’s culture of benevolence and magnanimity, which contrasts with Islam’s culture of hatred and revenge. Obama is either ignorant of or dismisses what this Republic stands for, its commitment to the primacy of reason and persuasion as opposed to the primacy of force and coercion. This is precisely what binds America to Israel whose Bible affirms man’s creation in the image of God, an affirmation lacking in Islamic theology.
“We Muslims know the Ground Zero mosque is meant to be a deliberate provocation” BY RAHEEL RAZA AND TAREK FATAH Ottawa Citizen
If there were many more Muslims who would publicly express what the authors of this article have, there might not be the rampant anti-Islam backlash we are witnessing around the world.
On the other hand, if that were the case, there wouldn’t have been a Ground Zero mosque controversy in the first place.
Fox News US State Dept Sends Mosque Imam to Mideast Jake Gibson

Desperate stakes for women under Sharia Examiner Editorial
The cover of the Aug. 9 issue of Time Magazine shows a photo of Aisha, an 18-year-old Afghan woman whose nose and ears were cut off in 2009 under orders from a local Taliban commander as punishment for fleeing her husband’s home. (Jodi Bieber, Institute for Time Magaizne/AP)
It is impossible to view Time magazine's cover photograph of Aisha, an 18-year-old Afghan girl whose nose and ears were severed by her husband and brother-in-law on the order of a Taliban commander, without shuddering in recoil. Her "crime" was nothing more than fleeing the hellish home of in-laws who had beaten and enslaved her. That Aisha's only recourse in the face of such abuse was to run and hide is testimony to the reality that, in Afghanistan and elsewhere in the Muslim world that Sharia law prevails, women are at best second-class citizens. Sharia is the vehicle by which the most oppressive tenets of extreme Islamic religion become the civil law of any society on which it is imposed. In many such places, daily life for women and girls remains today much as it was a millennium ago -- the unrelieved tedium, oppression and drudgery of chattel.
Ramadan and the Koran by Abdulameer *****Read to understand Islam! print friendly pdf
As you probably already know, Moslem month of Ramadan is a month of daytime fasting and night-time family and communal feasting for religious Moslems. Of interest to non-Moslems is that, in addition to fasting, praying, Moslems are supposed to read the entire Koran during their holy month, at the rate of about 1/30 of the Koran per day. This is interesting for non-Moslems because of the many, many passages in the Koran which have to do with non-Moslems. The following are just a few of the many passages pertaining to non-Moslems which religious Moslems are supposed to read during Ramadan:
NOTE: When you read these passages from the Koran, please bear in mind the sacrosanct nature of every word in the Koran for all Moslems -- even if they have never read the Koran in their native language, and even if they do not follow the Koran in their daily lives. The problem is that many Moslems will follow the injunctions of the Koran. Also bear in mind that the following passages from the Koran, among others, are taught and preached every day in every mosque in the world including the one in your neighborhood.

Can You Handle The Truth?: Poll Shows The Shocking Reality of Arab Public Opinion By Barry Rubin
This is one of those stories about the Middle East that is totally amazing but not the least bit surprising. What, you ask, do I mean? From the standpoint of the way the region is portrayed in the West this information is incredible but if you understand the area it is exactly what you'd expect.
I'm referring here to the recent 2010 Arab Public Opinion Poll conducted by Zogby International and the University of Maryland for the Brookings Institution. Note that this poll was only done in relatively moderate countries: Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates,
Here are some of the main findings: ....
--Asked which foreign leader they most admire, almost 70 percent name an Islamist or a supporter of that movement's forces: Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan (20), Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez (13), Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (12), Hizballah's Hassan Nasrallah (9), Syrian President Bashar al-Assad (7), Usama bin Ladin (6), and the late Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (2). ..
......As long as there is a huge gap between the actual Middle East and the fantasy Middle East so dear to many Western academics, journalists, and diplomats, the region will remain incomprehensible and Western policies will not engage with reality.
Promoting Radical Ideas – What ICNA Demands of its Members
When five young men disappeared from comfortable lives in America last fall and showed up in Pakistan hoping to wage jihad against American troops, all eyes shifted to their community mosque and youth group for answers.
The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), a leading Muslim American organization which oversaw both the mosque and the youth group, claimed no connection to the radicalization that drove these young adults to seek violence. In the wake of this story, other national Muslim organizations announced plans for anti-radicalization programs. But no such announcement came from ICNA, perhaps because such a campaign would stand in direct contradiction to the education that ICNA requires of its members.
Literature that is required reading for ICNA members and that is provided at its conferences prominently features a host of radical scholars and an ideology that casts the practice of Islam as incompatible with the West. As members advance into deeper stages, they are required to master more strident texts, ICNA bylaws show.
140 cosponsors of the Parental Rights Amendment in the U.S. House of Representatives, and 7 in the U.S. Senate, plus 31 senators opposing the UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child through S.R. 519.

House GOP Puts Members on Record in Support or Opposition to Using Lame Duck Session as Means to Ram Thru Unpopular Carbon Criminalization Bill.E&E News (8/10, subs. req’d) reports, “House lawmakers today derailed a Republican bid to block Democrats from pushing through controversial climate legislation during a lame-duck session. On a 236-163 procedural vote, the House quashed a resolution from Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) pledging that Congress would not convene between November and January except in the case of a national emergency. Price and other GOP lawmakers are looking to fend off Democrats' efforts to pass major legislation including a sweeping climate and energy bill after the November election. Top White House officials and Democratic leaders have suggested that climate legislation that stalled in the Senate this year may have a better shot once political pressure on Capitol Hill has dissipated. "Democrats are trying to avoid accountability by delaying the passage of a national energy tax and other unpopular policies until after Election Day," Price said in a statement. "Some might think that is a good way to override the will of the public, but it is a terrible way to govern. A lame duck session should not be used as a post-election blitz to impose liberal programs that Americans do not support."

RAMALLAH — I am struck by the construction boom across the city as I visit Ramallah, the legislative and political centre of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank.
Just about everywhere, high towers of office and apartment complexes rise above the squalor of old houses, refugee camps, crowded markets and narrow streets of what was once a small town some 10 km north of Jerusalem.
I spent the better part of a day walking the streets of Ramallah; had a surprising encounter with the mayor, a Palestinian-Christian woman of much dignity and warmth; made the required visit to Yasser Arafat’s tomb; and enjoyed the hospitality of simple folks. There is money here, plenty of it, and those who have it are not hesitant to flaunt it.

Terrorism that's personal (12 images) THIS SHOULD BE MANDITORY READING FOR AMERICAN GIRLS! **EDITOR'S NOTE: GRAPHIC CONTENT** Text by Jim Verhulst, Times' Perspective editor

We typically think of terrorism as a political act.
But sometimes it’s very personal. It wasn’t a government or a guerrilla insurgency that threw acid on this woman’s face in Pakistan. It was a young man whom she had rejected for marriage. As the United States ponders what to do in Afghanistan — and for that matter, in Pakistan — it is wise to understand both the political and the personal, the very ignorance, illiteracy and misogyny that create the climate for these acid attacks can and does bleed over into the political realm.
Nicholas Kristof, the New York Times op-ed columnist who traveled to Pakistan last year to write about acid attacks, put it this way in an essay at the time: “I’ve been investigating such acid attacks, which are commonly used to terrorize and subjugate women and girls in a swath of Asia from Afghanistan through Cambodia (men are almost never attacked with acid).Because women usually don’t matter in this part of the world, their attackers are rarely prosecuted and acid sales are usually not controlled. It’s a kind of terrorism that becomes accepted as part of the background noise in the region. ...

PLEASE, FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR CHILDREN, WATCH THIS VIDEO!
DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT YOU ARE BEING TOLD ABOUT MODERATE ISLAM - LISTEN TO THESE EX MUSLIM SCHOLARS WHO ARE WARNING THE UNITED STATES!!
Islam mandates deception [taqiyya] when Muslims deal with non-Muslims. Muslims are allowed to lie to unbelievers if the lie is for the protection of Islam or the furthering of Islamic goals and objectives. In the cause of Islamic expansionism Muslims falsely inform non-Muslims that: Islam is a "religion of peace", the Quran mandates pluralism of religions, "jihad" is only about an "inner spiritual struggle", unprovoked violence against non-Muslims is un-Islamic, immigrant Muslims wish to fully integrate into Western countries by adopting democratic principles instead of Sharia Law, Muhammad was a man of peace, etc. None of these things are true. Taqiyya is not about truth. Taqiyya is about deception -- lulling Western people into a false sense of security, while, in reality, Islam directs Muslim immigrants to "appear integrated" while actually living as a state-within-a-state... UNTIL THEY TAKE OVER via violent jihad. Europe, be warned!

Daniel Greenfield article: Is Islam's Problem a Lack of Modernity?*****
In response to the Islamic terrorist attacks that murdered 76 people in Uganda, Barack Hussein Obama delivered the usual homily about Islam being a great religion, and Islamic terrorism being the work of a small handful of extremists who reject modernity. And while many people have stood up to take issue with the false claim that only a small minority of Muslims view terrorism as legitimate, fewer have tackled the underlying premise behind this liberal critique of Islam, which claims that it is a lack of modernity that is the problem. The reason why the "Modernity" narrative is so dangerous, is because it has drawn even liberal critics of Islam into a false paradigm, in which Muslim terrorists reject modernity, and therefore Muslims who do not seem to reject modernity cannot be terrorists. That is why Tariq Ramadan can waltz from campus to campus, shielded from accusations of "extremism" by his supposed embrace of modernity. Terrorist groups and terrorist front groups, from the Taliban, which before 9/11 sent an ambassador to Berkeley who delivered lectures explaining that the Buddha statues had been destroyed to protest against global economic injustice, to Hizb ut Tahir, whose spokesmen talk like moral relativists, even as they preach uncompromising Jihad to their followers-- have learned to talk like "moderns", even when their real goals have remained the same since Mohammed and his followers rode down on their enemies. The inability to recognize terrorism when it is dressed in a suit, totes a blackberry and uses academic language-- is one of the greatest blind spots of Western civilization today. And the idea that Islamic terrorists are people who live in caves and are out of touch with the modern world, is a misguided stereotype. Modern Islamist movements such as the Muslim Brotherhood were built by copying ideas from the Nazis. Their terrorist groups copied Marxist terrorist organizations. Osama bin Laden does not write up declarations on parchment, he releases videos which are filled with talking points derived from American popular culture. Al Queda was recruiting over the internet, before most Western armed forces had figured out how to make use of it. Hizbullah has a media analysis department. Hamas has a Twitter account. ..... The problem is not that Islam is not modern, it is that it is not civilized. .....
'Audacity of Hope' vs. state of Israel: The battle begins By Aaron Klein Group seeks to break blockade that keeps Hamas from re-arming
TEL AVIV – Will the Justice Department prosecute associates of President Obama who are organizing flotillas and marches in support of the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip?
That question is being asked by pundits as several of Obama's associates are participating in efforts to end Israel's naval blockade of Gaza – a blockade that is legal according to international law and that Israel says is necessary to ensure the Hamas terror group does not re-arm itself by sea. Indeed, ships loaded with weapons have been caught multiple times heading for Gaza.
Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy argued at National Review Online that the federal government should investigate Columbia University Professor Rashid Khalidi, a pro-Palestinian Liberation Organization activist known for his friendship with Obama. Khalidi and other Obama associates are members of an American effort to raise $370,000 to finance the purchase of a U.S. ship in an effort to break the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza. The tentative name of the ship is "The Audacity of Hope," after Obama's autobiography.

Senate Passes “The ______Act of____”—No Foolin’! by Jim Harper, August 8, 2010 at 9:24 pm
What a mess the Senate has made of H.R. 1586. It’s a package of spending and revenue measures—but we’ll ignore the substance for now because they have so utterly goofed up the name.
As we noted here before, this is a “shell bill.” It was introduced as one thing (TARP taxes), became another thing (an aviation bill), and is now a batch of spending policies. (Cost: about $125 per family)
The most recent version of the bill was produced when the Senate passed a “substitute amendment.” That’s an amendment that clips out everything in the bill and puts in all new text.
In the House and Senate, they often publish amendments ahead of time, and it looks like someone was in a rush to get the amendment together, because they left blank lines where the new name of the bill should have been.
Take a look for yourself. Down toward the bottom of this page in the Congressional Record, it says, “SECTION 1. This Act may be cited as the “_______Act of______”. (The Library of Congress’ Thomas reporting system picked that up as the “XXXXXXAct ofXXXX,” so that’s how it shows up on our site.)
Well, THAT’s the amendment they brought up and passed, so the new name of the bill is the “_______Act of______.” And that’s the way it might be signed into law.
DownsizeDC.org's "One Subject at a Time Act" (OSTA) Congress routinely passes unpopular laws by combining them with completely unrelated bills that have majority support. For example . . .
The REAL ID Act, which was designed to create a national ID card, had so little support in the Senate that it couldn't even be brought to a vote. A national ID card was opposed by a majority of the Senate, and historically, by the vast majority of the American people, but now it is the law of the land. How did this happen?
It happened because House and Senate leaders attached the REAL ID Act to legislation the Senate was afraid to oppose, the "Emergency, Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Tsunami Relief." (May, 2005) Senators didn't want to vote against a defense appropriation, or Tsunami relief, so the REAL ID Act became the law of the land.
Sadly, this is far from the only example. Here's another one . . .
When a few moral busy bodies in Congress wanted to stop online gambling, but lacked the votes to get their way, they attached their unwanted legislation to a bill on Port Security. Few in Congress were likely to vote against a measure to strengthen security at our nation's ports, and so the completely unrelated online gambling law was passed too.
DownsizeDC.org's "One Subject at a Time Act" (OSTA) is designed to prevent outrages such as these by requiring that each bill that comes to a vote be about one subject, and one subject only. Any legislation passed in violation of this requirement will be considered null-and-void before the nation's courts. But that's not all . . . Most bills passed by Congress try to hide what their subject is by resorting to propagandistic titles such as the "No Child Left Behind Act," or the "PATRIOT Act," or the "Protect America Act." No one wants to be accused of voting to leave children behind, or against patriotism, or against protecting America, but none of these bill titles actually describe the subjects of these bills. So . . . The "One Subject at a Time Act" requires that all legislation be given titles that describe what the bills would actually do, so that members of Congress and the public can know what the "one subject" of the bill actually is. Good examples of proper titles would be the "Read the Bills Act," or the "Write the Laws Act," or for that matter, the "One Subject at a Time Act."
You can read the full text (5 pages) of the "One Subject at a Time Act" and see the list of financial sponsors who made this bill possible.
Mom of Murdered Obama Gay Lover Speaks Up
In late May, investigative journalist Wayne Madsen had a bombshell revelation about Obama’s membership in a Chicago gay club, Man’s Country. Madsen also reported on the Sociopath’s sexual relationships with other men, including politicians and Donald Young, the openly gay choir director of the church in Chicago of which Obama was a member for some 20 years — Jeremy Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ black liberation theology. Obama’s relationship with Young was confirmed by Larry Sinclair, who claims to have had two sex-cocaine trysts with Obama.
There were two other openly gay men in Wright’s church: Larry Bland and Nate Spencer. In late 2007, as Obama began his ascent to be the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, in a span of 1½ months, all three men “conveniently” died:
Bland was murdered execution-style on November 17, 2007;
Young was murdered execution-style on December 24, 2007;
Spencer reportedly died of septicemia, pneumonia, and HIV on December 26, 2007.
Death certificates of Bland and Young, HERE. Now, Young’s elderly mother is speaking out about her suspicions that her son was murdered to protect Obama’s reputation and assure his political future as President. WHITE HOUSE RAMPS UP DAMAGE CONTROL OVER OBAMA CHICAGO GAY HISTORY
An August Surprise from Obama?
Main Street may be about to get its own gigantic bailout. Rumors are running wild from Washington to Wall Street that the Obama administration is about to order government-controlled lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to forgive a portion of the mortgage debt of millions of Americans who owe more than what their homes are worth. An estimated 15 million U.S. mortgages – one in five – are underwater with negative equity of some $800 billion. Recall that on Christmas Eve 2009, the Treasury Department waived a $400 billion limit on financial assistance to Fannie and Freddie, pledging unlimited help. The actual vehicle for the bailout could be the Bush-era Home Affordable Refinance Program, or HARP, a sister program to Obama’s loan modification effort. HARP was just extended through June 30, 2011.
The move, if it happens, would be a stunning political and economic bombshell less than 100 days before a midterm election in which Democrats are currently expected to suffer massive, if not historic losses. The key date to watch is August 17 when the Treasury Department holds a much-hyped meeting on the future of Fannie and Freddie.

The New York Post asks pointed and necessary questions about this story.

M3 Report - NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FORMER BORDER PATROL OFFICERS Daily Foreign News Report - Articles translated to English OVER THE WEEKEND: CONCERNS OF POTENTIAL TERRORIST THREATS VIA MEXICO; U.S. BLAMED FOR INCREASE IN VIOLENCE A clear and present danger
Last April the FBI warned of the risks that criminal organizations operating along the US-Mexico border could be used by terrorist groups to provide the means for transporting weapons of mass destruction into the US. The report presented to the US Congress in April by FBI Director Robert S. Mueller establishes that the potential for terrorist related activities associated with criminal gangs and organizations goes along with the increase of human and drug trafficking over the southwest border. This is a continuing and always present preoccupation that the criminal organizations could facilitate the smuggling of chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear weapons and their materials. The report points out that “globalization makes it easier to gain access to weapons of mass destruction and the transfer of materials.” This reduces the margin of security. Narco-blockades disrupting travel in Monterrey Cartel terrorist tactics worry US
Washington (from El Universal correspondent) – The US State Department expressed its preoccupation regarding the increasing use of “terrorist tactics” by drug cartels in Mexico, which represent an additional challenge to Mexican law enforcement and a threat to the security of the US. “The cartels, in an increasing way, are using a military terrorist style to attack the (Mexican) security forces,” indicated an annual report from the US State Department issued Thursday. In the section of the report dedicated to Mexico, the US government considers that, despite that organized crime and the cartels have no connections with organized international terrorists like Al Qaeda, the escalation of violence by narcotraffickers has created “potential vulnerabilities” that terrorist organizations wishing to penetrate into the US might be able to exploit.

RAMALLAH — I am struck by the construction boom across the city as I visit Ramallah, the legislative and political centre of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank.
Just about everywhere, high towers of office and apartment complexes rise above the squalor of old houses, refugee camps, crowded markets and narrow streets of what was once a small town some 10 km north of Jerusalem.
I spent the better part of a day walking the streets of Ramallah; had a surprising encounter with the mayor, a Palestinian-Christian woman of much dignity and warmth; made the required visit to Yasser Arafat’s tomb; and enjoyed the hospitality of simple folks. There is money here, plenty of it, and those who have it are not hesitant to flaunt it.
New cars, beautiful residences, fancy stores and restaurants will startle any outsider arriving here with his head filled by the mainstream media in the West about the misery of the West Bank occup .....ation by Israelis.

Drought, Fire and Grain in Russia By Lauren Goodrich Stratfor
Three interlocking crises are striking Russia simultaneously: the highest recorded temperatures Russia has seen in 130 years of recordkeeping; the most widespread drought in more than three decades; and massive wildfires that have stretched across seven regions, including Moscow.
The crises threaten the wheat harvest in Russia, which is one of the world’s largest wheat exporters. Russia is no stranger to having drought affect its wheat crop, a commodity of critical importance to Moscow’s domestic tranquility and foreign policy. Despite the severity of the heat, drought, and wildfires, Moscow’s wheat output will cover Russia’s domestic needs. Russia will also use the situation to merge its neighbors into a grain cartel.

Teotihuacan Ruins Yield 1,800 Year Old Tunnels and Tomb By Cheryl Casati
Archeologists announced Aug. 3 that they have found a tunnel and tomb that may provide the first clues into the city's unknown rulers.
For nearly 100 years, archeologists have searched for clues to the identity of the monarchs of the ancient city of Teotihuacan in northern Mexico. On Tuesday archeologists announced they have found what they believe is a tunnel and possibly leading to a ruler’s tomb.
The long sealed tunnel is believed to be more than 1,800 years old. With the use of a camera and ground-penetrating scanner, archeologists have so far found that the tunnel extends about 37 yards and leads to what appears to be a tomb chamber.

Stop Tuesday's Bailout Vote AND the Lame Duck Session!***** Take Action! Pelosi Calls Congress Back to Vote on More Bailouts
Nancy Pelosi knows her days as Speaker of the House are numbered, so she took the drastic step of calling the entire House of Representatives, which had gone into recess last Friday, back to Washington, D.C. to vote on yet another bailout! The August recess is a necessary time for Members of Congress to return to their districts to hear from their constituents. Many Democrats are already avoiding Town Hall meetings in August, because they know their constituents are angry with their votes on jobs-killing, big-spending legislation. Now, instead of spending time with the people they were elected to represent, they are running back to Washington to spend more taxpayer money and to grab more power for the federal government.
There is some good news about Congress coming back to D.C., however. Before recess, Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) introduced a “No Lame Duck” resolution, urging Democrats to promise that they will not hold a “lame duck” legislative session after election day (when presumably many liberals will have lost their seats and will no longer be concerned about the consequences of their votes) for the purpose of passing hugely unpopular legislation like a national energy tax, more bailouts and the kickback to big labor known as “Card Check.”
JFK ISLAMIC TERROR PLOT TIED TO IRAN AND VENEZUELA: "EVEN THE TWIN TOWERS CAN'T TOUCH IT. THIS WOULD DESTROY THE WHOLE US ECONOMY"
Muslims Russell Defreitas, 67, a/k/a “Mohammed,” and Abdul Kadir, 58, a/k/a Aubrey Michael Seaforth, were convicted Friday in federal court in New York City of conspiring to attack John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York, by exploding fuel tanks and the fuel pipeline under the airport. Kadir, a former member of the Guyanese parliament, was an engineer and had connections with militant groups in Iran and Venezuela. During cross-examination at trial, Kadir admitted that he regularly passed information to Iranian authorities and believed himself bound to follow fatwas from Iranian religious leaders.
This is deeply troubling when considering Obama's foreign policy of appeasing Iran, relinquishing US sovereignty to the OIC-driven UN, and giving tacit support to a nuclear weaponized Iran.

Daniel Greenfield article: There's Only So Many Ways Obama Can Spin Failure*****
During the 2008 election, the media sold Obama on two key points, repairing the economy, and bringing new focus and ideas into the war in Afghanistan. As the summer of 2010 fades, it's painfully clear that Obama has failed completely in both areas.
Obama has come out on the wrong side of the economy. His administration's economic policies are based on the insane notion that the private sector needs to be taxed more in order to fund more government spending. When it's only private sector capitalism that has a shot at reviving the economy, not government spending. The Democrats mistook their own "tax and spend" rhetoric for reality, tripling the national debt, while ramming through smoking heaps of pork for themselves and their buddies. And so the economy is a disaster area, the public is angry, and the only answer the Democrats have for them is more of the same. But more of the same just won't cut it.
Frank Gaffney: Coming to Grips with Shariah
Suddenly, it seems, everyone is talking about Shariah. In particular, growing controversies over proposed mosques at Ground Zero and other sites are becoming powerful "teaching moments" - raising awareness about the repressive theo-political-military-legal doctrine that animates the builders and that their fellow adherents seek to impose on the entire world.
This is a most welcome development in light of the grave and growing threat posed by this agenda and the concerted effort being made - here and elsewhere, through violent jihad and the stealthy kind - to realize that goal.
The Talibanisation of British childhood by hardline parents By YASMIN ALIBHAI-BROWN

The boy kicked and cried. Recognising my face from TV appearances I had made as a commentator on current affairs, the father came across to say 'hello'.
So I asked him what his child had done that had made him so angry. He explained that according to his Islamic mentors, drawing pictures of people was forbidden. .....
Some thoughts of Nietzsche Paul Eidelberg Nietzsche exposed the lie of socialism after revealing the truth about modern individualism. Here are his penetrating remarks:
Individualism is a modest and still unconscious form of the "will to power"; here it seems sufficient to the individual to get free from an overarching domination by society (whether that of the state or of the church). He does not oppose them as a person but only as an individual; he represents all individuals against the totality. That means: he instinctively posits himself as equal to all other individuals; what he gains in this struggle he gains for himself not as a person but as representative of individuals against the totality. Socialism is merely a means of agitation employed by individualism: it grasps that, to attain anything, one must organize to a collective action, to a "power." But what it desires is not a social order as the goal of the individual but a social order as a means of making possible many [mediocre] individuals. This is the instinct of socialists about which they frequently deceive themselves ... The preaching of altruistic morality in the service of individualism: one of the most common lies of the nineteenth century.

NASA and IPCC Exploit Or Ignore Natural Events Like Solar Flares, Aurora And Weather: By Dr. Tim Ball
On August 3rd and 4th a solar flare erupted from the surface of the Sun coincident with a sunspot equal in area to the Earth. Many people saw the associated increase in aurora visible in western North America as far south as Iowa. They were most visible in the auroral belt shown on the left, which is well north at this time of year.
Many prepared for other impacts and all sorts of hysterical predictions were made, including claims this was the start of increasingly severe activity leading to 2012. (Yes, the dreaded Mayan calendar year nonsense). The only thing that materialized was extensive and dazzling aurora displays. NASA Continues Its Shameless Role As Chicken Little
From Small Mom and Pop Shop in Houston, to Fast Growing Washington Powerhouse, IER Quickly Becoming a Force in Washington Energy Policy Circles. Human Events (8/8) reports, “For an organization that opposes cap-and-trade legislation and bans on offshore drilling, promoting free-market energy principles comes naturally. Praised by Rush Limbaugh as the “energy equivalent” of the Heritage Foundation, the Institute for Energy Research seeks to educate the public, legislators, academia and the media on free-market solutions to the world’s energy challenges. IER was founded in 1989 by Robert L. Bradley Jr. in Houston. Leading a small group of volunteers at first, Bradley worked nights and weekends to grow IER into an effective educational organization. In establishing itself as a respected research institute, IER began distributing quarterly reports to a small but growing list of donors in the early 1990s and eventually expanded its publishing capabilities to include highly publicized studies. Despite having an impressive media presence, IER’s ability to influence lawmakers was limited due to the organization’s distance from Washington, D.C. This all changed in 2007 when IER opened its Washington office, transforming itself into a formidable energy think tank offering research and analysis on global energy markets. Recently, IER has been involved in a number of campaigns to influence public policy. The organization was the first to call for the removal of President George W. Bush’s ban on offshore energy exploration. In 2008, IER experts conducted analysis on the Warner-Lieberman Climate Security Act, creating an online map that projected the legislation’s potential cost to each state. Most recently, IER staff created a website where homeowners can go to calculate how much they will have to pay for the Kerry-Lieberman cap-and-trade bill.”
With Unemployment Nearing 10 Percent, There’s Hope in Appalachia; It’s Called the Marcellus Shale, and He’s Hiring. West Virginia Public Broadcasting (8/9) reports, “Marcellus Shale drilling is still in its infancy in West Virginia, but the industry is already contributing millions of dollars to the state’s economy. It may be awhile before the gas industry’s economic impact rivals that of coal in West Virginia. Mike Shaver, clad in a hard hat and muddy boots, surveys a gas drilling rig on a site in Upshur County. As a crew drills towards the Marcellus Shale, a pipe pumps water and dirt out of the hole in the earth and into a huge pit of muddy, rock-filled water. Shaver looks at the water, trying to determine how much farther the drill has to go before reaching shale gas. Shaver is the owner of Mountain V Oil and Gas, based in Bridgeport. His company started drilling in the Marcellus Shale two years ago. He says the Marcellus hasn’t changed his business—he’s still drilling for gas, after all—but now things are done on a bigger scale. He drills fewer wells to get the same amount of gas, but they’re deeper and more expensive to drill. “Instead of drilling 60-100 conventional wells, we’re looking at only drilling 15 Marcellus wells due to the cost,” he said. “The production on the Marcellus has proven to be worth changing our business model. Basically, the way we’re looking at it, it takes 10 conventional wells to equal the production of one Marcellus well, based on our results in Upshur County.” When gas drillers began tapping the West Virginia Marcellus Shale in 2002, only two wells were drilled. In 2008, that number had skyrocketed to 299, according to a report sponsored by the federal government. Though gas has been drilled in the state for years, with the Marcellus Shale the industry is booming.”

Can You Handle The Truth?: Poll Shows The Shocking Reality of Arab Public Opinion By Barry Rubin
This is one of those stories about the Middle East that is totally amazing but not the least bit surprising. What, you ask, do I mean? From the standpoint of the way the region is portrayed in the West this information is incredible but if you understand the area it is exactly what you’d expect.
I’m referring here to the recent 2010 Arab Public Opinion Poll conducted by Zogby International and the University of Maryland for the Brookings Institution. Note that this poll was only done in relatively moderate countries: Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates,
Here are some of the main findings:
Islam as an Ideology - Islam A Complete Way of Life
The word 'Islam', in Arabic, means submission and peace. As a term, 'Islam' refers to the Message which was revealed to Muhammad (peace be upon him) by Allah, the One Creator, and a 'Muslim' is the one who believes in Islam. In sharp contrast to Christianity, Judaism, and other religions, Islam is not merely a religion. Rather, Islam is a unique and comprehensive ideology that guides the life of the human being. Like any other ideology, Islam consists of a creed or doctrine, and a system of rules and regulations. Unlike other
ideologies, however, it is not man-made.
The creed of Islam (Aqeedah) provides the correct and comprehensive answer to the fundamental question regarding the existence of man and universe. It addresses the issue of the human being's purpose in life and integrates it into the grand scheme of existence, i.e. what came before this life and what will come after it. Thus, the Islamic creed settles the core problem in every person's life, that of the nature of our existence, and serves as the guiding principle for humanity to conduct its affairs by.
The Islamic system provides a comprehensive law governing the affairs of the human beings. It establishes, in the absolute, correct manner,
1) The relationship between the human being and his Creator,
2) The personal affairs of individuals, and
3) The social, political, economic, and international relationships that exist in the society.
The system has its own method that provides the means for its implementation
, thereby transferring it from 'theory' to 'practice'. It is an integral part of the ideology and distinguishes it from a philosophy, which provides hypothetical ideas but no practical means of implementing them.
Thus, Islam consists of a creed, and system. What distinguishes Islam from the ideologies of Capitalism and Communism is that Islam is built on the correct idea, established through rational thought. In contrast, the other ideologies in the world failed to build a comprehensive and rational outlook to the life of the human being and the world in which he exists.
ISLAM -- NOT A RELIGION IN OUR SENSE OF THE TERM
Yusuf Qaradawi (the most influential Muslim cleric in the world today, the spiritual head of the Muslim Brotherhood): "Islam is not a religion in the common, distorted meaning of the word, confining its scope only to the private life of man. By saying that it is a complete way of life, we mean that it caters for all the fields of human existence. In fact, Islam provides guidance for all walks of life — individual and social, material and moral, economic and political, legal and cultural, national and international." Dr. Muhammad al Alkhuli A complete code of life
Islam is a religion, but not in the western meaning of religion. The western connotation of the term "religion" is something between the believer and God. Islam as a religion organizes all aspects of life on both the individual and national levels.
Islam organizes your relations with God, with yourself, with your children, with your relatives, with your neighbor, with your guest, and with other brethren. Islam clearly establishes your duties and rights in all those relationships. Islam establishes a clear system of worship, civil rights, laws of marriage and divorce, laws of inheritance, code of behavior, what not to drink, what to wear, and what not to wear, how to worship God, how to govern, the laws of war and peace, when to go to war, when to make peace, the law of economics, and the laws of buying and selling. Islam is a complete code of life.
NOTE: This "complete code" is Sharia sacred law. This is why Islam is an ideology, and this is what makes Islam unique. It is considered God's sacred law because it is derived from the Koran (Allah's literal word!) and the sayings of Muhammad (also considered sacred by all religious Moslems).
At the root of this opposition to mosques is the fear that Islam might just not be the religion of peace that our misguided political leaders say it is or that Islamic spokesmen from the Moslem advocacy organizations say it is. There is a fear that Islam is not just another religion like Christianity or Buddhism or whatever. These fears are well-founded, but because of general ignorance of the doctrines of Islam, people can't be sure. In fact, Islam is NOT a religion like other religions; and Islamic scholars are the first ones to say so. For example, Yusuf Qaradawi (the most influential Muslim cleric in the world today, the spiritual head of the Muslim Brotherhood) said: "Islam is not a religion in the common, distorted meaning of the word, confining its scope only to the private life of man. By saying that it is a complete way of life, we mean that it caters for all the fields of human existence. In fact, Islam provides guidance for all walks of life — individual and social, material and moral, economic and political, legal and cultural, national and international." This "complete way of life" is the Sharia sacred Islamic law which calls for the legal subordination of non-Moslems to Moslems and of women to men; it requires death for homosexuals, apostates and blasphemers. And, it calls for eternal war (jihad) against non-Moslems until Islamic law dominates throughout the world. These doctrines all come from the Koran and the sayings of Muhammad which are preached and taught in every mosque in the world, and will be taught in the proposed mosques. People questioning the new mosques need to understand why Islam is unique and not like other religions. Then they would know that mosques are not like churches because mosques are centers for the propagation of sharia law. If Islam is not like other religions, it should not be treated like other religions. If mosques are not like churches and other houses of prayer, then mosques should not be treated like other houses of prayer. Mosques are centers for the propagation of Islamic supremacist ideology, and they should be treated like other centers for the propagation of supremacist, violent and imperialist ideology, such as the Communist Party or the Nazi Party.

The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned,
that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary:
he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair:
I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded:
therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

Senate dumps strategy to prevent EMP damage By Bob Unruh
House planned defense against 'malicious acts' using shock wave
The U.S. Senate has dropped a House-approved plan that would prepare the United States to defend itself from an attack from any electromagnetic pulse source – whether it would be from a natural solar flare or the detonation of a space-located nuclear weapon by enemies intent on destroying America's infrastructure, according to a representative who has raised alarms over EMP.
U.S. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, a Maryland Republican, said it is "unfortunate."
"While one part of the federal government was warning us of possible solar electromagnetic pulse (EMP) damage to our electric grid, a key Senate commission approved a bill to ignore this threat," he said.
Daniel Greenfield article: The Muslim Hijacking of Ground Zero***** Islam doesn't just hijack planes, it hijacks the things that mean something to people. The great cities of the world are littered with relics of the Muslim occupation of their sacred places. Jerusalem, Delhi, Constantinople and Alexandria all testify to the Muslim predilection for taking over other people's sacred places, and turning them into mosques. It wasn't enough for Muslims to conquer Jerusalem and subjugate its inhabitants. No, they also had to take the holiest place in Judaism and build a mosque on top of it. Similarly it wasn't enough for them to conquer and rename Constantinople, they also had to turn the Hagia Sophia into a mosque. These are not exceptions to the rule. In Asia, the Middle East and Europe, there are numberless examples of the same thing. To this day, Muslims continue seizing other people's places of worship and turning them into mosques. It's going on in Egypt today. It's going on in Yugoslavia where churches are being destroyed and turned into mosques, day by day. It's went on in Israel, in Joseph's Tomb, burial spot of the biblical Joseph, which was seized by Muslims in September of 2000, a year before 9/11.
Why do Muslims this? It's not just about seizing territory, though that is part of it. It's also about hijacking something more vital, identity. By Islamizing sacred sites, they also take control of other people's history and culture. As they have done throughout the world. Hijacking the Temple Mount, has allowed Muslims to claim Jerusalem as a holy city of theirs. Hijacking churches in Egypt and Yugoslavia, eliminates the religious history of non-Muslims from the area. Hijacking the Hagia Sophia, was part of the recreation of Constantinople, into Istanbul.
Mainstream Islamic organisations 'share al-Qaeda ideology' By Duncan Gardham Many apparently mainstream Muslim groups have the same ideology as violent Islamists, according to a secret report from the think tank Quilliam.
The report, sent to the government’s Office for Security and Counter Terrorism (OSCT), was not intended for publication but has now been leaked on the internet.
Entitled "Preventing terrorism, where next for Britain?" it says the ideology of non-violent Islamists is “broadly the same as that of violent Islamists” adding “they disagree only on tactics.”
It produces a list of those it believes are “non-violent Islamists” and adds: "These are a selection of the various groups and institutions active in the UK which are broadly sympathetic to Islamism.
“Whilst only a small proportion will agree with al-Qaeda's tactics, many will agree with their overall goal of creating a single 'Islamic state' which would bring together all Muslims around the world under a single government and then impose on them a single interpretation of sharia as state law."
The document adds that if the government engages with such groups "it risks empowering proponents of the ideology, if not the methodology, that is behind terrorism."
Quilliam argues that the government needs to move beyond tackling those who advocate violent extremism to target those that espouse similar but non-violent views.
Their views are thought to hold sway as the Coalition conducts a major review of the government’s Prevent counter-terrorism strategy.
A Home Office spokesman said the report had not been solicited but added: "We believe the Prevent programme isn't working as effectively as it could and want a strategy that is effective and properly focused – that is why we are reviewing it." NOTE: The basis of their beliefs are in their Koran and they are intimidated into never questioning it! The Koran is a book of violence and death! Compare it to the Bible which is a book of LIFE in which God invites you to dialog with Him to understand it, and it teaches love to your fellow man!

"Beware Palestinian apartheid," by Jonathan Dahoah Halevi in Ynet News, August 4 (thanks to Marc): [...] While briefing the Egyptian media in Cairo, Abbas divulged last week his version of the failure of the peace talks with former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert and his positions... Muslim victim of 9/11: "To the supporters of this new Islamic cultural center, I must ask: Build your ideological monument somewhere else, far from my mother's grave, and let her rest"
During the recent controversy over the planned Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero, Muslim spokesmen have begun claiming that Muslims were killed in the Twin Towers on 9/11, as if that somehow proves that the destruction of the towers was not an Islamic jihad attack. As they've done so, they've..

An All-Purpose Paradigm: The West’s Absurd Claims of Israeli Racism by Barry Rubin Among the scores of ridiculous things said, thought, and written about the Arab-Israeli conflict, the pretense that it has something to do with "race" may be the most foolish.
As the waitress whose family had come from Ethiopia put the pizza on the table at the Tel Aviv Italian restaurant, I contemplated the ridiculous misuse of “race” as a factor in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Regardless of skin color, we belong not only to the same country by way of citizenship but also to the same nation and people in a very profound way that isn’t true for countries that are merely geographical entities.
Among the scores of ridiculous things said, thought, and written about the Arab-Israeli conflict, the pretense that it has something to do with “race” ranks high among them. This has been interjected for two reasons.First, this is a blatant attempt to demonize and delegitimize Israel.
Second, as part of that point but also due to trends in Western intellectual discussions, there is a conflation of nationality and race. Often, there is an attempt nowadays to portray any form of nationalism in the West as racist, though this is never applied to Third World nationalist situations. Neither the internal conflicts in Iraq (among Sunnis, Shias, and Kurds) nor in Lebanon (among numerous groups) are about race, but rather arise from national, ethnic, and religious (sometimes all rolled up into one) conflicts.
One of the most basic lessons in looking at foreign or international affairs is to understand that countries just don’t think alike about issues. America, and in a different way Europe, has been obsessed with race. That doesn’t mean everyone else is racially oriented. Israelis don’t think about skin color as such, and are well aware that Jews, while having a common ancestry, have been affected by many cultures and societies. With intermarriage rates between Jews whose ancestors came from Europe and those who came from the Middle East approaching half in Israel today, there is no way to classify people. In fact, Israelis are far less interested than other countries about people’s ancestral travels.

Obama Executive Order To Control Coasts and Waterways by JANE JAMISON While we were fixated on twelve other stupid and/or unconstitutional things the Obama administration was doing last week, President Obama signed a controversial executive order which is being regarded as another huge loss of private property rights.
The short version is, the executive order gives the federal government control of coastal properties along the oceans and all other waterways–rivers, lakes–and any adjoining property which might drain into and affect the quality of those waterways. The order contains fees for applications for use, rules, and fines.
(See the executive order and supporting documents here)
Here is more detail from Henry Lamb writing for World Net Daily (see next article). There has been very little coverage in the mainstream media of this unprecedented power grab.
Obama's latest assault on liberty
President Obama's Executive Order 13547, issued July 19, further extends federal power, embraces global governance, diminishes the rights and privileges of individuals and brings the United States into compliance with Agenda 21, Chapter 17.6, which says:
Each coastal State should consider establishing, or where necessary strengthening, appropriate coordinating mechanisms (such as a high-level policy planning body) for integrated management and sustainable development of coastal and marine areas. …
The National Ocean Council created by the executive order creates this mechanism – and much more.
Shut Up, He Explained - Mayor Michael Bloomberg to New Yorkers. BY WILLIAM KRISTOL
Last Tuesday, standing in front of the Statue of Liberty, New York mayor Michael Bloomberg spoke on the subject of the proposed mosque at Ground Zero. His remarks will be read with curiosity by future generations of Americans, who will look back in astonishment at the self-deluding pieties and self-destructive dogmas that are held onto, at once smugly and desperately, by today’s liberal elites. Our liberation from those dogmas, and from those elites, is underway across the nation. But it’s worth taking a look at Bloomberg’s speech, if only to remind us of what we need to ascend from so our descendants can look back with curiosity at the ethos to which we did not succumb.
As is the way of contemporary liberals, Bloomberg spoke at a very high level of abstraction. He appealed to the principle of religious toleration, while never mentioning the actual imam who is responsible for and would control the planned Ground Zero mosque. To name Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf might invite a consideration of his background, funding, and intentions. Do Rauf and his backers believe in the principles underlying the “inspiring symbol of liberty” that greets immigrants to the United States and before which Bloomberg stood? Bloomberg didn’t say. It apparently doesn’t matter. Toleration means asking nothing, criticizing nothing, saying nothing, about whom or what one is tolerating. This is the Sergeant Schultz standard of toleration: I know nothing.
KUHNER: Radical Islam's conquest of America Religious freedom is a red herring. Muslims are free to build mosques anywhere else in New York City - or America, for that matter. If Mr. Rauf were truly serious about fostering peaceful religious coexistence, he could - and would - pick any other more ideal location in a residential community. The backlash has been furious and passionate; the anger and rage among the families of the victims have been palpable. Their feelings have been discarded. They have been ignored - even lectured to. Mr. Rauf could end all of this through a gesture of respect and goodwill. Yet he will not - and that speaks volumes. His ideological agenda trumps compassion and common sense.
The battle over the ground-zero mosque is more than another battle in the heated culture wars. It is a watershed moment: the point at which liberal multiculturalism capitulated to the relentless march of political Islam. Muslim radicals around the world rightly will view it as a triumph over the feckless American infidel: Even the site of their deadliest attack against America is not free from Islam's looming presence. This event signifies the loss - the defeat - of American will and purpose in the struggle against jihad.
It is not coincidental that the mosque's name, Cordoba House, takes after the city in southern Spain that marked one of radical Islam's greatest conquests in Europe during the Middle Ages. Cordoba was a major center in the global caliphate being erected by the rampaging Islamists of the time - the very caliphate that Osama bin Laden and his allies seek to restore. A giant mosque was built upon the ruins of a Catholic church. For Islamists, erecting mosques on defeated territories is a sign of subjugation - the submission of infidels to Allah's rule.
The sad irony is that most of the victims of Islamic fascism have been Muslims - fellow co-religionists - slaughtered by medieval barbarians. The ground-zero mosque disgraces them as much as everyone else. Mr. Bloomberg could have done the right thing and opposed the building of the mosque. Yet his actions show that liberalism is defenseless in the face of Islamic supremacism - as it is all across Europe. The United States of Arabia has arrived.

Serious Questions Raised About Obama Tactics in 2008 Election BY ROGER ARONOFF
Recently AIM interviewed Gigi Gaston, director of the documentary film, “We Will Not Be Silenced.” The film documents voter intimidation and corruption by forces working for then-candidate Barack Obama at Democratic precinct caucuses and state conventions during the 2008 Presidential primary. The filmmaker is surprising in that she is a lifelong Democrat, whose grandfather was the mayor of Boston and later the governor of Massachusetts, and she is a Hollywood screenwriter.
She says that after receiving a call from a former congressional investigator, she went to Texas to look into charges of voter irregularities in the Democratic caucus process to choose their presidential nominee. It was down to Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. What she found, as described on the website for the film, was “falsified delegate counts, falsified documents, and other violations” And she describes the “disenfranchising of American citizens by the Democratic Party and the Obama campaign,” and said that the “infamous campaign of ‘change’ from Chicago encouraged and created an army to steal caucus packets, falsify documents, change results, allow unregistered people to vote, scare and intimidate Hillary supporters, stop them, threaten them, lock them out of their polling places, silence their voices, and stop their right to vote.”
Through interviews with people with a first-hand knowledge of what was going on, including civil rights activist Helene Latimer, a very disturbing picture formed of what the Obama campaign was up to in order to “win” the nomination. Attorney Gloria Allred is shown calling for the elimination of the caucuses. Ms. Gaston described how the Clinton campaign attempted to bring evidence of some of these irregularities to the attention of the media, but they were largely ignored. ....
The NEA's Latest Shenanigans by Phyllis Schlafly
What does Diversity mean to you? Same-sex marriage? Building a giant mosque on the 9/11 spot in New York? Elena Kagan on the Supreme Court?
To the largest teachers union, the National Education Association (NEA), diversity means celebrating the anniversary of the Communist takeover of China by Mao Zedong. The NEA posted this on its website calendar as a Diversity Event for October 1.
Thankfully, we live in a wonderful era when parents, Tea Partiers, conservatives, and students can rapidly spread the news ignored by the mainstream media. After this activity suggestion for teachers was reported on WorldNetDaily, the Mao calendar item disappeared (without comment) from the NEA's website. It's hard to make sense out of the fascination that liberals have with Mao, who is known to history as the champion murderer of all time.Barack Obama's Communications Czar, Anita Dunn, called him one of her two "favorite political philosophers."
We thought Anita was thrown under the bus after that embarrassment became public, but now she's back with an assignment from the Obama Administration to convince the American people that we really like Obamacare after all. The celebrity heads of this taxpayer-funded propaganda project are former Senator Tom Daschle and Ted Kennedy's widow Victoria.
Anita is unlikely to succeed in this effort, but the NEA will still be working and spending political money to force national health care on us. That's just one of scores of leftwing policies approved at the NEA's annual convention in New Orleans this summer so that the NEA's highly-paid staff can lobby for legislation the NEA wants and shovel out money to candidates who support NEA policies.

Arizona Immigration Law Author: Failure to Enforce Law Impeachable Offense By: Jim Meyers
State Sen. Russell Pearce, the chief architect of Arizona’s tough immigration law, tells Newsmax that the recent court ruling on the law was a “huge win” for Americans fighting to stem the flow of illegal aliens in this country.
Pearce, a Republican who represents parts of suburban Phoenix, also says the law “scares” the Obama administration because it will lead to the enforcement of immigration laws — and agrees that Obama’s failure to enforce those laws is an “impeachable” offense.
A highly decorated former law officer, Pearce crafted and co-sponsored Arizona SB1070, the immigration bill that was passed in April. Federal Judge Susan Bolton blocked some of the most controversial parts of the legislation, but Pearce remains cheered by the results.
“No Distribution Shall Be Made to the State of Texas”YES!!!! Get all the states off the dole!
If I hadn’t already mentioned this before, this may come as a shock to some of you - but yesterday, the United States Senate actually voted to single out Texas to send a message that it better get in line.
You see, the Governor of Texas had the audacity to tell Washington, “no.” No to education funding that came with Washington strings and that would cost Texans more in the long run. No to unemployment insurance funding that would have come with similar strings and cost. And recently, along with other Texas state officials, no to federal government interference with traditional state authority to regulate oil and gas exploration.

Global Warming: Our Mistake, Never Mind By Claude Sandroff For in the gentlest language possible Spencer is telling the AGW clingers that they are scientifically incompetent lemmings
In a remarkable monograph, Roy W. Spencer presents hard evidence that 75% of the observed warming since the start of the 20th century is due to natural processes. He offers a detailed model describing how one of these processes, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), operates in the real world. Most importantly, he demonstrates that anthropomorphic global warming (AGW) is a minor contributor to a global climate largely insensitive to man-made CO2.
Must Read: Pipeline Company Works with Enviro Group to Protect Sage Grouse – Cool, Right? Not According to Local Commissioners: “You Went to Bed with the Worst There Is.”Elko (Nev.) Daily Free Press “A settlement between environmental groups and El Paso Corp. over the Ruby Pipeline Project has caused "worry, concern and anger," the president of El Paso Western Pipeline Group told Elko County Commissioners Wednesday. About 30 people attended the commission meeting and heard about two-and-a-half hours of discussion about the Ruby Pipeline Project and, particularly, El Paso Corp. 's agreement with Western Watersheds Project and the Oregon Natural Desert Association. El Paso Corp. didn't expect "the firestorm that has erupted over this deal," said Jim Cleary, president of El Paso Western Pipeline Group. "You guys went into bed with the worst there is," Commissioner John Ellison told El Paso Corp. representatives, referring to the company's $20 million agreement finalized last month with the two groups. Money will go into the Sage Grouse Habitat Conservation Fund over a 10-year period and will be used for habitat protection. In exchange, the environmental groups will drop litigation opposing the pipeline project.
Top Enviro Regulator in Okla. Sets the Record Straight on HF: “Never Seen Anything Approaching this Unfounded and Growing National Hysteria.” Bob Anthony, chairman of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, writes (8/6) in the Oklahoman, “In more than 20 years as a corporation commissioner, I've never seen anything that approaches this current unfounded and growing national hysteria. Simply put, hydraulic fracturing (HF) is an essential oil and gas production technique used for reservoir stimulation. Ironically, given the opposition in the name of the environment, HF is also used for environmentally friendly applications such as geologic storage of carbon, developing water wells and "green" geothermal energy and even cleaning up Superfund sites. Opponents portray hydraulic fracturing as some horrible practice that endangers our water supplies, polluting them with cancer-causing chemicals. In fact, 99 percent of the materials injected are water and sand. Other HF ingredients are no stronger than chemicals found around the house. Furthermore, the fracturing process takes place thousands of feet below treatable (meaning potentially drinkable) groundwater, with layers of rock in between. We've used HF for some 60 years in Oklahoma, and we have no confirmed cases where it is responsible for drinking water contamination — nor do any of the other natural gas-producing states. Maintaining regulation of oil and gas at the state level is essential. Doing the job properly requires knowledge of the unique geology and hydrology of formations.
Ratepayers in North Dakota Shocked to See Their Utility Bills Jump 50% in a Quarter – All Because of Addition of Wind to the Grid, PUC Commish Says. Associated Press (8/6) reports, “Otter Tail Power Co.'s North Dakota customers will see higher electric bills as the utility adds more wind power to its energy sources, state regulators say. Beginning Sept. 1, a separate charge assessed to ratepayers to pay for Otter Tail wind energy projects will increase the monthly bill by almost $1.40 for a residential customer who uses 750 kilowatt-hours of electricity, state Public Service Commission filings say. For that customer, the wind energy charge would rise from $2.76 monthly to $4.13, an increase of almost 50 percent. The "renewable energy rider" is listed separately on customers' bills. Commissioner Tony Clark said the charge is intended to allow Otter Tail Power to begin recouping development costs for wind projects. But it does have its drawbacks, Clark said. "It makes wind perhaps look a little boutique, or that we're treating it a little different, " he said. "It's certainly not intended to be that way." Fergus Falls, Minn.-based Otter Tail Power has about 57,000 North Dakota electric customers. It serves the cities of Wahpeton, Devils Lake and Jamestown, as well as a number of rural communities. About 18 percent of the utility's electricity comes from wind turbines

Minneapolis Somalis Played Key Role in al-Shabaab Investigation
Federal law enforcement officials are praising Somali-Americans for their help in an investigation which resulted in the indictment Thursday of 14 people on charges of providing money, services and personnel to the terrorist organization al-Shabaab. A large part of the credit goes to Abdirizak Bihi, a Somali community leader in Minneapolis who persevered despite opposition from the Council on American-Islamic Relations and hostile mosque leaders.
Bihi, whose teenage nephew was killed after he went to fight for al-Shabaab last year, persuaded Somali families to cooperate with the FBI's investigation of al-Shabaab. He expressed hope that the legal process may provide answers about the disappearances of 20 teenagers and young men from the area who went to Somalia since 2007 to fight for al-Shabaab, which is affiliated with al Qaida.

AP Exclusive: New al-Qaida leader knows US well
AP – Adnan G. Shukrijumah. is seen in these artists renderings by the FBI
By CURT ANDERSON, AP Legal Affairs Writer – Fri Aug 6, 7:04 am ET
MIAMI – A suspected al-Qaida operative who lived for more than 15 years in the U.S. has become chief of the terror network's global operations, the FBI says, marking the first time a leader so intimately familiar with American society has been placed in charge of planning attacks.
Adnan Shukrijumah, 35, has taken over a position once held by 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who was captured in 2003, Miami-based FBI counterterrorism agent Brian LeBlanc told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview. That puts him in regular contact with al-Qaida's senior leadership, including Osama bin Laden, LeBlanc said.
“Guyana Islamic Trust Touts Work WIth Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Charities”
In 1838, the British began an eighty-year effort to move nearly one-quarter of a million workers from India to British Guiana (now simply “Guyana”) in South America. The Indians migrants were mostly Hindu, but as many as 16 percent were Muslim. In the 1900s as Guyana’s anti-“imperialist,” pro-independence, and pro-communist forces took root, Guyana began aligning itself with international troublemakers such as Iran—after the Iranian Revolution. Partly because of its Muslim population, Guyana has historically practiced an anti-Israel foreign policy. The Islamic character of Guyana has been intensified in recent decades by the efforts of Sunni Arabs who have moved to, agitated in, and spread Gulf money around Guyana.

Kagan Lies to Supreme Court - Charges Filed - Reid is rushing a vote TODAY
Kagan’s record on partial-birth abortion. Documents from her tenure at the Clinton White House reveal that in 1996, President Clinton had initially decided to support a ban on all elective partial-birth abortions, with a health exception. But Ms. Kagan successfully convinced him that the procedure should be available more widely, and their policy should include elective abortions for “non-health related reasons.” Senator Jeff Sessions Breaking News: Kagan's escalating scandal to defraud the Supreme Court must be refered to the Justice Department for criminal investigation and possibly prosecution for obstruction of justice.
Elena Kagan tied to Obama's birth certificate By Joe Kovacs *****
'It just keeps getting deeper and deeper, doesn't it?
Just when you thought there couldn't be any more players in the ongoing soap opera over the hunt for President Obama's original birth certificate and his constitutional eligibility for office, there comes yet another name: Elena Kagan. Yes, the same Elena Kagan nominated by the commander in chief to be the next justice on the U.S. Supreme Court has actually been playing a role for some time in the dispute over whether Obama is legally qualified to be in the White House.
Here's the connection. Kagan served as solicitor general of the United States from March 2009 until May of this year.
In that role, she legally represented the U.S. government in numerous cases coming before the Supreme Court.
A simple search of the high court's own website reveals Kagan's name coming up at least nine times on dockets involving Obama eligibility issues.
Searching the dockets at the U.S. Supreme Court's website reveals Elena Kagan's name coming up numerous times on cases challenging President Obama's constitutional eligibility for office. (Supreme Court screenshot with name highlighted by WND, Aug. 4, 2010)
Docket No, 09-724, for instance, comes up with this in the search result:
Title: The Real Truth About Obama, Inc., Petitioner v. Federal Election Commission, et al. Reply of petitioner The Real Truth About Obama, Inc. filed. The Real Truth About Obama, Inc. Elena Kagan
(Story continues below the documentation on the dockets)
Clicking on any of the dockets reveals who the original petitioners were, as well as what proceedings and orders were issued in each case. Here's another docket, with Jamal Kiyemba v. Barack H. Obama.
Elena Kagan's name is noted as solicitor general for cases involving Obama's consdtitutional eligibility. (Supreme Court screenshot with name highlighted by WND, Aug. 4, 2010) The fact Kagan handled these cases and is now Obama's first choice for the high court is raising some eyebrows.
"She was the solicitor general for all the suits against him filed with the Supreme Court to show proof of natural-born citizenship," notes WND reader Carl Jorgensen of Farmingdale, N.J. "He owes her big time."
"All of the requests were denied of course," Jorgensen continued. "They were never heard. It just keeps getting deeper and deeper, doesn't it? The American people mean nothing any longer. It's all about payback time for those that compromised themselves to elect someone that really has no true right to even be there. We should be getting so sick of all of this nonsense. The USA has finally become the laughing stock of the world. God help and deliver us."
New documents point to Indonesian citizenship By Jerome R. Corsi Mother dropped Obama from U.S. passport when being American dangerous
Documents released by the State Department in two separate Freedom of Information Act requests bolster evidence Barack Obama became a citizen of Indonesia when he moved to the Southeast Asian nation with his mother and stepfather in the late 1960s.
In a passport amendment submitted Aug. 13, 1968, Obama's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, identified her son with an Indonesian surname and asked the State Department to drop him from her U.S. passport.
The transaction could have been part of an effort by Dunham to obtain Indonesian citizenship for her son. It took place before the State Department began requiring all citizens traveling abroad, regardless of age, to obtain their own passport. Several court cases challenging Obama's presidential eligiblity have argued he gave up his U.S. citizenship in Indonesia and used an Indonesian passport to travel to Pakistan in the early 1980s. Indonesia does not allow dual citizenship.
The amendment was submitted less than a year after Dunham joined her second husband, Lolo Soetoro, in Indonesia. It requested "Barack Obama II (Soebarkah)" be removed from her U.S. passport, No. 777788. ...
Daniel Greenfield article: The Day the ACLU Joined Al Queda*****
December 1944. American artillery near the Belgian village of Losheim opens fire on advancing German troops during the Battle of the Bulge. Suddenly a jeep pulls up and a lawyer jumps out waving a piece of paper. "Stop what you're doing immediately! I represent Obersturmführer Gunther Stoltz down there, and I have an order here from Federal District Court Judge Gantz forbidding you from killing my client without due process in an American courtroom."
Insane yes, except that's just what the ACLU is after. Captured Muslim terrorists have never lacked for civil liberties lawyers in the past. Whether it was collective organizations like the ACLU or the CCR, or pro-terrorist lawyers like Lynn Stewart or Stanley Cohen, there has never been any shortage of lawyers eager to fight for terrorists in or out of a courtroom. From enthusiastic defenses for terrorists on trial to fighting for the rights of terrorists detained in US military custody outside the United States, groups like the ACLU have served as Al Queda's legal department before. But the ACLU and the CCR are no longer satisfied with fighting for the release of captured terrorists. Instead they're fighting to provide terrorists in the field with immunity from US attacks.
The ACLU's lawsuit on behalf of Anwar Al-Awlaki, a terrorist leader operating in the field, moves beyond protecting captured terrorists, and toward protecting active terrorists on the battlefield. It's the equivalent of that jeep pulling up during the Battle of the Bulge with a stop firing order. The ACLU and its allied organizations have always hidden behind the argument that they were protecting the rights of defendants in the court system. But there is no court system here. Al-Awlaki is not in US custody. He's conducting a terrorist campaign of attacks that includes the Fort Hood Massacre and the attempted Christmas Day bombing of Northwest Flight 253. What the ACLU is doing is arguing that the United States cannot kill Al-Awlaki on the battlefield, even though he's trying to kill Americans.
The ACLU has actually filed court papers asking to allow them to provide "legal services on a pro-bono basis to Nasser Al-Awlaki, the father of Anward Al-Awlaki, as representative of the interests of Anwar Al-Awlaki."
The Fundamental Transformation of Newsweek and America Common Threads of Delusion and Demise "During the course of administration, and in order to disturb it, the artillery of the press has been leveled against us, charged with whatsoever its licentiousness could devise or dare. These abuses of an institution so important to freedom and science are deeply to be regretted..." --Thomas Jefferson
Freedom of the press is codified in the First Amendment of our Bill of Rights ("Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of ... the press") because our Founders rightly understood that a free and impartial press was a vital component of Essential Liberty. However free, the press has rarely risen to the challenge of impartiality, not even during earliest days of our Republic. Thomas Jefferson observed as president, that the nation's newspapers "serve as chimnies to carry off noxious vapors and smoke." With the advent of the 24-hour "news" cycle, the press has never been more partisan than it is today.
Hence in 1996, when we launched The Patriot Post, one of our primary objectives was to break the mainstream media's chokehold on public opinion. Since our inception, The Patriot has devoted much-needed attention to the threat that a partial press poses to liberty, even receiving the Accuracy in Media Award for Grassroots Journalism for our efforts. The Leftmedia's threat to liberty has been perilous in recent years, while we've been at war with a formidable adversary -- Jihadistan and its terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan and other theaters around the world. By way of confirmation that our foreign Jihadi enemy understand the power of the American Leftmedia as an instrument of propaganda, as do domestic Leftist politicos, consider this authenticated communiqué between Osama bin Laden's chief lieutenant, Sheikh Ayman al-Zawahiri, to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi at the height of Operation Iraqi Freedom: "I say to you: that we are in a battle, and that more than half of this battle is taking place in the battlefield of the media."

Whoa! New Ground Zero mosque challenge in works By Bob Unruh
'We're poised to file legal action … and put a stop to this project'
Hold on with those demolition crews and construction cranes near Ground Zero.
A new challenge to the Ground Zero mosque in New York City could be filed in court as early as tomorrow, according to an organization representing a survivor of the Sept. 11 attacks by radical Muslims that killed nearly 3,000 Americans.
"We're poised to file legal action on behalf of our client to challenge this flawed decision and put a stop to this project," Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, confirmed today.
The U.S.Department of Justicehas changed their website, and red, white and blue are replaced with stark black and white.

Gov’t Report that Shows 75% of Spilled Oil No Longer in Gulf Infuriates the Greens – You See, What’s Good for America is Bad for Fundraising.Politico (8/5) reports, “Speaking before the AFL-CIO Wednesday, President Barack Obama called the developments “welcome news.” But green groups — irked by the administration’s initial low-balling of the rate of oil billowing into the Gulf — were skeptical of the claim that three-quarters of the crude has been evaporated, dissolved, dispersed, skimmed or burned. They say the report actually accounts for only 25 percent of the oil discharged into the sea since April 29, and as much as half of the spill still lingers in Gulf waters in various concentrations. “My main problem is that this overstates what they know,” said John Hocevar of Greenpeace. “There really isn’t very much data to support this. It’s somewhere between a wild guess, wishful thinking and spin to make these claims at this point.” Wednesday’s report has some environmental groups feeling wary. Some even look at the government’s own data and are drawing different conclusions. According to David Pettit, a senior attorney at the Natural Resources Defense Council, the administration is using the report to suggest that “the worst is over.” The truth, Pettit says, is that about a quarter of the oil has dispersed — meaning it still exists, but in microscopic particles in the ocean — and another 26 percent of the oil is still unaccounted for.
A Story You’ll Never Read in Print: Sen. Reid Tried to Gut the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund Earlier This Year – To Pay for the HomeSTAR Program?!E&E News (8/5, subs. req’d) reports, “Reid proposed in his energy and spill bill to increase the fee to 49 cents per barrel. The additional tax would raise more than $18 billion over 10 years, which Reid would use to offset the $5 billion energy efficiency "Home Star" program, oil spill mitigation research and alternative vehicle incentives in the bill. Democrats attempted to use the oil spill liability trust fund to help offset billions of dollars in tax credit extensions earlier this year. It ultimately failed to pass the Senate, partially because of Republicans objecting to the use of the oil spill trust fund as an offset. A spokesman for Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said while issues with the offset provision of Reid's legislation got lost among the debate on the liability cap, they are still on the list of problems Republicans had with the bill. "If you want to argue about the oil spill liability fund, that might be worth a discussion, but that money should be lock-boxed to deal with oil spills," spokesman Robert Dillon said. The fund should not be used to pay for other programs that have nothing to do with oil spills and that should be dealt with in an energy bill, Dillon added. But if the oil spill liability trust fund is eliminated or its funds are taken off the table in negotiations for the spill bill likely to be taken up in September, Democrats have no obvious pool of money to pay for any other energy measures they would like to approve.

This brings us to the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) and a feel-good anti-terrorism video it recently issued featuring nine imams earnestly explaining how religiously-motivated violence is misguided and contrary to the teachings of Islam. The video won praise from a senior member of Congress and unquestioning coverage in the August 1 New York Times. Even the Attorney General of the United States got snookered. During a news conference Thursday announcing the arrests of 14 people in a fundraising conspiracy on behalf of the Somali terrorist group al-Shabaab, Eric Holder called for greater effort within the Muslim community in combating domestic radicalization:
"Many members of the community have taken proactive steps to stop the recruitment of their youth by terrorist groups. Just recently, a group of prominent American Muslims joined together in a video to repudiate the tactics employed by radicalized militants to recruit young Muslims via the Internet." The problem is, as even a cursory review of their background demonstrates, nearly all the speakers have a record demonstrating polar opposite ideology, with a selective view of what actions are examples of terrorism.

World Tribune Coming soon to theaters throughout the Mideast: The rush to fill the vacuum of U.S. power By Yossef Bodansky, Senior Editor, GIS/Defense & Foreign Affairs.
The lingering impact of the Aug. 3, clash on the Israeli-Lebanese border lies in the greater context of, and wider strategic dynamics in, the Middle East. These aspects were highlighted by Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah in his speech later that day ........
Overall, the issue dominating the overall situation in the Middle East is the reaction by the local powers to the emerging new grand strategic reality: namely, the demise of the United States as the dominant regional power. This is a dramatic reversal of a concentrated U.S. policy of more than half a century. Karl Marx and Obama by Lev Navrozov - emigrated from the Soviet Union in 1972. His columns are today read in both English and Russian. To learn more about Mr. Navrozov's work with the Center for the Survival of Western Democracies, click here.
Karl Marx was born in 1818. After having graduated from school, he was sent by his father to a university to become a lawyer. Later he made a discovery owing to which the word "Marxism" became one of the most common words of the two centuries.
In his Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts (1844), the 26-year-old Marx made the following conclusion:
The worker becomes all the poorer the more wealth he produces — the more his production increases in power and range.
In Vol.1 of his Capital (published in 1867), Marx explained that the "deficient money" was paid by capitalists, who thus profited more and more from the whole process of production and sale at the expense of their victim: the worker. Today most citizens of Western Europe recall Karl Marx as an idiot, fortunately long forgotten by many West Europeans. When Karl Marx was fashionable in Western Europe, some West Europeans considered him the "greatest thinker" on earth. His utopian socialist theory was tried (e.g., in Soviet Russia) and proved to be destructive and deadly to the country: it led to the destruction of the country's economic structure, loss of free enterprise, loss of personal freedoms, impoverishment of the people, political repressions, and eventually ended up in usurpation of power by dictatorship. What about the United States? Obama, as we all know, a proponent of Marxist socialist ideology, was elected the U.S. president on the basis of his seemingly bold, new ideas, actually rooted in those old-fashioned, hackneyed, long discredited Marxist socialist platitudes. I believe that Karl Marx could have enjoyed a similar triumph in the United States. A majority of those who voted for Obama might have known nothing about the future actual repercussions from the choice they were making.
Planets Align for the Perseid Meteor Shower
You know it's a good night when a beautiful alignment of planets is the second best thing that's going to happen.
Thursday, August 12th, is such a night.
The show begins at sundown when Venus, Saturn, Mars and the crescent Moon pop out of the western twilight in tight conjunction. All four heavenly objects will fit within a circle about 10 degrees in diameter, beaming together through the dusky colors of sunset. No telescope is required to enjoy this naked-eye event: sky map. The planets will hang together in the western sky until 10 pm or so. When they leave, following the sun below the horizon, you should stay, because that is when the Perseid meteor shower begins. From 10 pm until dawn, meteors will flit across the starry sky in a display that's even more exciting than a planetary get-together.

Arizona Senator John McCain plans to travel to Colorado this weekend to campaign against Ken Buck, the principled conservative in the race.
Ken Buck's opponent is the pick of the Washington establishment, but Buck has proven to be the pick of the people of Colorado. The old guard in Washington, aided by the liberal national media, is determined to stop the people of Colorado from sending a true conservative to the U.S. Senate.
In a prepared response, Buck's campaign consultant had this to say about McCain's campaign trip to Colorado:
"The visit comes as no surprise. McCain called on Jane to run. He rallied an army of lobbyists to raise money for her. Now, at the end of a desperate campaign, Norton's dragging Sen. McCain all the way out of her closet. He's coming to Colorado to personally attack Ken Buck."

Shariah comes to the Supreme Court BREAKING: Just as the Senate moves to a final vote on the nomination of Elena Kagan to the US Supreme Court, the Center for Security Policy's Christine Brim makes the definitive case against her.
The Senate should not confirm Elena Kagan, because her views render her the first Supreme Court Justice who actively favors the introduction of Shariah law into national Constitutions and legal systems. To excuse themselves for voting for her confirmation, Senators of both parties have told themselves this vote for Kagan’s confirmation will result in a harmless swap: the substitution of one liberal justice for another.
The reality is far more threatening and unprecedented in American history. A vote to confirm Elena Kagan’s nomination will bring a liberal, pro-Shariah justice to our highest Court. And if she is confirmed, her behavior as Obama’s Solicitor General indicates she will refuse to recuse herself on any Shariah-related decision but instead will lead the charge to legitimate Shariah law in America.

Mosque Near Ground Zero 'Like a Pig in the Temple' by Eli Stutz
The plan to build a mosque adjacent to the ruins of the Twin Towers passed a crucial hurdle Tuesday when New York City's Landmarks Preservation Commission voted 9-0 not to declare the building now occupying the site protected, making way for it to be demolished and a mosque and Islamic center to be built in its place.
No one was more shocked by the news than retired Brigadier General Dov Shefi, a former chief military prosecutor and now attorney general of the Defense Ministry who lost his son in the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers. "For us it's like bringing a pig into the temple," Shefi told Arutz-7.
According to Shefi, people cannot accept the fact that a mosque will be built on the site of the disaster. "I think that the establishment of a mosque in this place, a place that serves as a memorial site for 40,000 families, is like bringing a pig (an unkosher animal) into the Holy Temple. It is inconceivable that in all the city of New York, this site was specifically chosen to establish an institution that represents the culture that led the terrorists of Al-Qaeda to carry out the greatest crime ever.
STATEMENT FROM RNC CHAIRMAN MICHAEL STEELE ON MISSOURI’S REJECTION OF OBAMACARE Posted by: Michael Short
WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele released the following statement today in response to the passage of Proposition C in Missouri, which protects an individual's right to make their own health care choices.
“In a significant blow to the Obama administration, the people of Missouri overwhelmingly struck down a central pillar of ObamaCare by passing a statute that prevents the federal government from requiring individuals to purchase health insurance. By rejecting ObamaCare with nearly three-quarters of the vote in a critical swing state, Missouri sent a clear message to Democrats and the Obama administration that government-run healthcare is a gross overreach of the federal government that needs to be repealed and replaced. In addition to voter disapproval, lawsuits across the country are moving forward and this week, Virginia earned a major legal victory in its effort to challenge the constitutionality of the government’s individual mandate.
“Democrats experienced a backlash against ObamaCare at town hall events across the country a year ago, and despite clear opposition from the American people, they forced through their government takeover with backroom deals and midnight amendments. Last night’s decisive vote against a key provision of ObamaCare, arguably the cornerstone of the Obama presidency, shows how completely detached the Democrat agenda is from the American electorate, and is another reason why Republicans will win back the majority in November.”
Must read: Pamela Geller (with Robert Spencer), The Post American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War on America (2010), Forward by Ambassador John Bolton.
A riveting and disturbing account of how Obama’s socialist-internationalist agenda is undermining American sovereignty and democracy. Read about the subordination of the United States to the United Nations; the program of wealth redistribution on an international scale; the diversion of American wealth to Africa and Islam; the loss of freedom of speech and freedom of the press; the step-by-step ascendancy of world government—hence of unmitigated tyranny.
Daniel Greenfield article: Religion of Peace***** Words are tricky things. Virtually every tyrant, no matter how bloody, has talked about his plans for conquest in terms of "peace". For example in 1939, Nazi Germany and the USSR signed a declaration in which they described their conquest of Poland as creating "a sure foundation for a lasting peace in Eastern Europe". The same year that Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, he delivered a speech at the Amman Summit in which he insisted that; "the Arabs seek peace and justice throughout the world". And how can one argue with peace?
The Romans had the Pax Romana, which meant peace under Roman dominion. The "peace" that Hitler, Stalin and Saddam have in mind, was of that same nature. Dictators and tyrannies, national or ideological, frame the world as chaotic and requiring order. Only under their leadership and only their way will the world finally experience peace. When Lenin stated that; "without overthrowing capital it is impossible to end the war by a truly democratic peace", he was laying out the same basic thesis of every tyrant, and of Islam as well. That there can be no "true peace", without the creation of a society that follows his ideology. For Lenin, everyone had to submit to Communism. For Hitler, to Nazism. For Mohammed, to Islam. Each spoke about peace, but they defined peace only in terms of their own ideology and rule.
Britain's New Export: Islamist Carnage Daniel Pipes Must read!
Britain's largest and longest-running terrorist investigation ended last month with the conviction of three British Muslims. Their 2006 plot involved blowing up trans-Atlantic airliners with the hope of killing up to 10,000 people. That near-disaster offers a pungent reminder of the global danger poised by U.K.-based radical Islam.
The Heritage Foundation calls British Islamism "a direct security threat" to the United States and The New Republic dubs it "the biggest threat to U.S. security." Officialdom agrees. The British home secretary compiled a dossier in 2003 that acknowledged his country offered a "significant base" for terrorism.
A CIA study in 2009 concluded that British-born nationals of Pakistani descent (who can freely enter the United States under a visa waiver program) constitute America's most likely source of terrorism.
Confirming, updating, and documenting these reports, London's Centre for Social Cohesion, run by the formidable Douglas Murray, has just published a 535-page opus, Islamist Terrorism: The British Connections, written by Robin Simcox, Hannah Stuart, and Houriya Ahmed. It consists mainly of detailed biographical information on two sorts of perpetrators of what it calls "Islamism related offences" or IROs - that is to say, incidents where evidence points to Islamist beliefs as the primary motivator. [NOTE: Where do these "Islamist" beliefs come from? Which beliefs, exactly, are they? Notice the picture below where the terrorists are proudly holding up the Koran. Could the Koran be a source of those "Islamist" beliefs? How are "Islamist" beliefs different from traditional Islamic doctrines?]
....... Finally, what will it take in terms of destruction for non-U.K. governments to focus their immigration procedures on that percentage or two of Britons from whom the perpetrators exclusively derive - the Muslim population? Unpleasant as this prospect is, it beats getting blown up. [NOTE: We are not dealing only with 2000 potential terrorists. First of all, the number is unknown. Second, there will always be more, because the source continues to produce them. Third, there are many Muslims who teach the terrorists that this is what religious Muslims are supposed to do. Fourth, there aremany Muslims who support the terrorists both morally and financially.]

Also, it has emerged that other members of JournoList were activists from a far-left think tank with close ties to a Marxist-founded, George Soros-funded group that petitions for more government control of the Internet.

VOICES OF THOSE HARMED BY THE OBAMA MORATORIUM video
We just got back from The Rally for Economic Freedom in Lafayette, Louisiana. We talked to dozens of people affected by Obama’s offshore drilling moratorium, and what we learned was fascinating. Take a few moments to hear firsthand the impact of the moratorium on the families of Louisiana, and what it could mean for the rest of the country.
Michael Bromwich, Head of the “New” MMS said this Yesterday about the Obama Moratorium: "I have seen enough to know that people are hurting." E&E News (sub’s req., 8/3) reports, “The man in charge of overseeing the Obama administration's deepwater drilling moratorium says it could be lifted well before its expiration in November. "We might be able to cut short the moratorium before November 30 if that's what the facts support," said Michael Bromwich, director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement. The fact-gathering process to see if that is possible, Bromwich said, begins tomorrow at Tulane University in New Orleans with the first in a series of forums about offshore drilling. Bromwich said he will report back on those forums to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to see if they can "develop a level of comfort" that would allow them to end the moratorium in a "principled way." Bromwich is in charge of overhauling the agency long known as the Minerals Management Service in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill that has fouled the Gulf of Mexico. One factor that could speed lifting of the moratorium is BP PLC's capping of its blown-out well at the site last month. "All available spill response was soaked up by response to the Deepwater Horizon, " Bromwich said. "That's no longer the case." And he said that the administration does have to consider the economic consequences of the moratorium. "These decisions are not being made in a vacuum," Bromwich said. "I have seen enough to know that people are hurting."

Special Alert: Media Collusion in Lebanon Ambush What were photographers and journalists doing at the scene of the incident before a deadly exchange of fire between Lebanese and Israeli forces?
Today's Example of Ridiculous Media Bias Against Israel By Barry Rubin *****
Along Israel's border with Lebanon, east of Metulla, some bushes were pushing in on the border fence. The fence is set in slightly from the border precisely so that Israeli soldiers can work on it. The IDF called UNIFIL and informed the UN that this work was going to be done today so that they could tell the Lebanese army that there was no aggression going on but just routine maintenance. Soldiers from UNIFIL came to observe and can be seen standing next to Israeli soldiers in the photos. Photographers were also standing by to film the operation. But Lebanese soldiers opened fire on the Israelis who were working and in no way acting aggressively. The fact that journalists were standing next to the Lebanese soldiers shows that they knew Israel was going to do this maintenance and were observing. After the Israeli soldiers were ambushed, they returned fire. One Israeli officer was killed, another seriously wounded; three Lebanese soldiers, and a Lebanese (?) journalist were killed. So how did Reuters and Yahoo report this? By saying that Israeli soldiers had crossed into Lebanon and been fired on, thus implying the Lebanese army was acting in self-defense! Other news agencies merely reported: Israel says the soldiers were inside Israel; Lebanon says they were on Lebanese territory.
Reuters: "An Israeli soldier is seen on a crane on the Lebanese side of the Lebanese-Israeli border near Adaisseh village, southern Lebanon August 3, 2010. Israeli artillery shelled the Lebanese village on Tuesday, wounding two people, after Lebanese Army troops fired warning shots at Israeli soldiers."
Yahoo: "A Lebanese officer spoke on condition of anonymity under military guidelines, said the clash occurred as Israeli troops tried to remove a tree from the Lebanese side of the border." No Israeli is quoted. AP also missed explaining the story properly: "The violence apparently erupted over a move by Israeli soldiers to cut down a tree along the border, a sign of the high level of tensions at the frontier where Israel fought in 2006 with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah....There was no sign of any extensive Israeli preparations for a large-scale operation - an early indication the clash might not trigger a wider conflict." By the way, AP was so "accurate" as to correct the name of their photographer but not the biased inaccuracy of its facts! The New York Times also takes a "neutral" approach: "Each side blamed the other for the flare-up, trading accusations of violating the United Nations Security Council resolution that underpins the four-year cease-fire." But what is most amazing is the additional information that tells us more about contemporary journalism than almost anything you can read:
"Israel said that its forces were engaged in routine maintenance work in a gap between the so-called Blue Line, the internationally recognized border, and its security fence, and that it had coordinated in advance with the United Nations peacekeeping force in South Lebanon, Unifil." Hello? Can't the mighty New York Times contact the UNIFIL offices and find out that Israel's story is true? Indeed, isn't it indicated by the UNIFIL presence as observer?Well, it isn't surprising since the same newspaper is unable to find the evidence, publicly available, that the Turkish IHH group that organized the Gaza flotilla had a history of being a terrorist-supporting group. .....
In the current issue of FOREIGN AFFAIRS, the foreign policy journal put out by the Council on Foreign Relations, this full page, color ad appeared on the inside back cover. Look at it carefully. See who is designated as “Resistance” and who is designated as bring “Stability” to the situation. In the upside down, topsy-turvy world of double-speak this is being promulgated via every library in the U.S. as well as in every University and college library. NOTE: The “transportation link” which effectively bisects Israel into two parts, making it even more vulnerable.

The Epoch Times Organ Harvesting Witness Faces Deportation to China By Matthew Robertson
A former member of the Chinese security forces, with highly sensitive information on the state’s practice of organ harvesting from prisoners, is currently stuck in an immigration limbo in Switzerland and faces deportation to China.
While Swiss authorities seek to apply the European Union’s recondite and stiff laws on asylum seekers, advocates say the witness has valuable information and should be granted asylum and an audience with the United Nations.
From 1993-1998, Nijat Abudureyimu, himself a Uyghur, was stationed in the prison of Liuwandao in the Northwestern Chinese province of Xinjiang. His job was to lead prisoners from their cells to their execution.
But often they weren’t normal executions. Police would shoot the prisoner in the head in such a way as not to kill them, so that organs harvested from the body would be in the best condition.

Routine Blood Tests Could Replace Colonoscopy by Hillel Fendel
Tel Aviv University (TAU) researchers have discovered that routine blood tests can provide an early warning for colorectal cancer.
Anemia, a common blood disorder characterized by low hemoglobin levels, has long been associated with those suffering from colorectal cancer. It doesn't happen suddenly, however - and Tel Aviv University researchers say they have found that gradually decreasing hemoglobin levels can actually indicate a potential for colon cancer years in advance.
Solar Tsunami Celestial Show to Visit Earth By Helena Zhu
A “solar tsunami” eruption of plasma on the surface of the sun will lead a shower of ionized atoms to strike the Earth Tuesday or Wednesday night.
Earth orbiting satellites detected that nearly the entire Earth-facing side of the sun erupted on Aug. 1 in a series of C-class solar flares, propelling one or possibly two coral mass ejections (CMEs).
Rising from sunspot 1092, the solar flares may have a noticeable consequences on Earth aside from auroras being visible farther south than usual.
The CME clouds, usually emitted from the sun over several hours, can carry up to 10 billion tons of plasma. They usually move away from the sun at about a million miles per hour, allowing them to travel 93 million miles to Earth in only three to four days, according to a NASA press release.
Once they arrive at the Earth, they interact with the planet’s magnetic field. This may lead to a geomagnetic storm.
Forecasters from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration estimated a 10 percent chance of major geomagnetic storms and a 45 percent chance of some geomagnetic activity once the CMEs arrive on Aug. 3 and 4.
Skywatchers in the northern United States and other countries should look north for a dancing celestial show of green and red lights.

Arizona Senator John McCain plans to travel to Colorado this weekend to campaign against Ken Buck, the principled conservative in the race.
Ken Buck's opponent is the pick of the Washington establishment, but Buck has proven to be the pick of the people of Colorado. The old guard in Washington, aided by the liberal national media, is determined to stop the people of Colorado from sending a true conservative to the U.S. Senate.
In a prepared response, Buck's campaign consultant had this to say about McCain's campaign trip to Colorado:
"The visit comes as no surprise. McCain called on Jane to run. He rallied an army of lobbyists to raise money for her. Now, at the end of a desperate campaign, Norton's dragging Sen. McCain all the way out of her closet. He's coming to Colorado to personally attack Ken Buck."

Israel Shouldn’t Be Forced to Bow to U.N. By Anne Bayefsky
President Obama has now blackmailed the government of Israel into submitting its defense forces to the toxic oversight of the United Nations. Today U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon created, with Israel’s approval, a UN investigation of last June’s flotilla incident in which Turkish-backed extremists sought to shatter Israel’s lawful naval blockade of Hamas-run Gaza.
Despite the fact that Israel has already launched an inquiry with international participants, the Obama administration insists that the Israel Defense Forces, and the Israeli legal and political establishment governing their actions, must be subject to UN supervision. U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice welcomed Ban’s announcement.
Obama’s move is a far cry from claims of a recent rapprochement with Israel. Instead of pressuring Israel in front of the cameras, the administration is now using the U.N. as its foil. The sword of Damocles that hung over Prime Minister Netanyahu’s head was withdrawal of American veto protection in the Security Council, a United States sitting on the sidelines in the General Assembly and the other U.N. bodies where new forms of anti-Israel censure are always percolating, and a firm U.S. no to any Israeli military effort to stop an Iranian nuclear weapon. Note: IN CASE ANYONE THINKS THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION HAS BECOME SYMPATHETIC TO ISRAEL’S PLIGHT – THINK AGAIN

News bias in prez race more than just a theory By Aaron Klein
Look what goes on behind scenes when reporters back their favorite
In little-noticed comments, a member of the controversial JournoList e-mail group first publicly exposed in 2008 that news media reporters "threw their support" to Barack Obama, then a presidential candidate.
John B. Judis, senior editor at the New Republic and a contributing editor to the American Prospect, described in a May 2008 article for the New Republic how members of the news media openly backed Obama.
At first, reporters backed Obama's chief rival for the Democratic nomination, Hillary Clinton. But Clinton alienated reporters by her attacks on Obama instead of recognizing him as a "historic" candidate, conceded Judis.
Daniel Greenfield article: Confrontational Conservatism
Stephen Bainbridge and David Klinghoffer have both authored their respective pieces complaining about how the conservative has been taken over by vulgarians like Rush Limbaugh and Andrew Breitbart, and pining for the days of "smart, well-read, articulate leaders" like William F. Buckley, Jr. The problem with most people who turn once living men into stone idols and then worship them, is that they discard the reality of what those men really did, to bemoan the situation today. And when they do that, they discard useful lessons that might serve them in the present.
But the real Buckley was a different man than the icon of conservatism he's been turned into.
That Buckley had more than a little in common with Andrew Breitbart in his confrontational style, media savvy and casual arrogance. This was the William F. Buckley who ran for mayor of New York, only in order to defeat left wing Republican John Lindsay, who traded in incendiary rhetoric, while cleverly mocking both parties and the entire process while doing it. Tactics that have more than a little in common with Breitbart, Limbaugh and the Tea Party movement.
It is important to understand that Buckley did not play a vital role in the conservative movement by sitting in a drawing room and delivering the occasional bon mot. Instead he grappled with the confrontational tactics of the left, and met them on both intellectual and activism grounds. The complaints about stupid and vulgarian conservatives, is essentially a complaint about activists who are actually relevant because they viscerally confront the other side, as opposed to sitting back and moaning that the whole movement has gone to hell. It is ridiculously easy to fall backward crying, "o tempora, o mores", it is a little more difficult to actually fight the good fight and try to make a difference.
On "bashing" Muslims By Frank Gaffney, Jr.
Last week, a tectonic shift took place in the firmament of the War of Ideas. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich directly and forcefully took on Shariah, the totalitarian theo-political-military program of authoritative Islam that its adherents seek to impose on the entire world. As he noted, the United States is squarely in the cross-hairs of Shariah's devotees.
In response, the usual suspects - the multiculturally sensitive elite that reflexively excuses the Islamists joined by proponents of the latters' stealth jihad, notably elements of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) - have reflexively responded by accusing the Speaker of "bashing" Muslims. It is, of course, far easier to engage in ad hominem attacks than contend with Newt's characteristically thoughtful and informed critique. It is also expedient to try to portray a focused challenge to the beliefs and practices of a subset of the Islamic faith as an assault on all Muslims.
In fact, it is not "bashing" all Muslims if one points out that the comprehensive doctrine to which some of them adhere is a threat to our liberties, our government and our way of life. Objectively, that is the case; a global theocracy - the end-state commanded by Shariah - administering a severely repressive, even barbaric criminal code aimed at enforcing submission by Muslims and non-Muslims alike is incompatible with the U.S. Constitution.
IPT Unveils Updated Interactive Terror History Map IPT News
The IPT's new interactive terror history map highlights cases of terror plots, terror financing and other radical activities in the United States during the past 20 years. Some of them are infamous, including the case of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan and the Hamas-supporting Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, both in Texas. Others attracted less notoriety, like the plot by California prison inmates to attack Jewish and U.S. military targets.
You'll see three categories across the top of the map that can be turned off or on, depending on what you're interested in seeing.
One category identifies several mosques and Islamic centers. Given today's debates over mosque construction it is important to be clear about what the map represents. There are hundreds, if not thousands of mosques in the United States. We list but a few dozen.
The mosques and centers listed share one thing in common. It is not that all are radical, and many have not been involved in criminal activity. Rather, all have had contact with radical individuals and organizations at some point in the period covered.
At some locations, radical views have been espoused, extremists have spoken, or terrorist acts or groups have Rauf’s Dawa from the World Trade Center Rubble ANDREW C. McCARTHY
Meet the Ground Zero Mosque imam’s Muslim Brotherhood friends.
Feisal Abdul Rauf is the imam behind the “Cordoba Initiative” that is spearheading plans to build a $100 million Islamic center at Ground Zero, the site where nearly 3,000 Americans were killed by jihadists on 9/11. He is also the author of a book called What’s Right with Islam Is What’s Right with America. But the book hasn’t always been called that. It was called quite something else for non-English-speaking audiences. In Malaysia, it was published as A Call to Prayer from the World Trade Center Rubble: Islamic Dawa in the Heart of America Post-9/11. Now it emerges that a “special, non-commercial edition” of this book was later produced, with Feisal’s cooperation, by two American tentacles of the Muslim Brotherhood: the Islamic Society of North America and the International Institute of Islamic Thought. The book’s copyright page tells the tale:

The House Office of Standards of Conduct (“ethics committee”) has filed ethics charges against another dinosaur in the House of Representatives, the long-serving Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.).
Waters is charged with violations stemming from her actions in garnering special treatment for OneUnited Bank, an entity where Waters’ husband -- at the time of her actions -- had (according to Waters’ 2008 financial disclosure filing) two investments in OneUnited Bank estimated at a value of between $500,000 and $1 million.

Israel-Lebanon clashes 'staged provocation'By Aaron Klein Sources say Hezbollah looking to divert attention from U.N. murder probe
TEL AVIV – The Israel Defense Forces says it believes allies of the Hezbollah terrorist organization today started a series of clashes along Israel's northern border, resulting in the deaths of at least three Lebanese soldiers and a Lebanese journalist.
Sources in the IDF told WND they fear Hezbollah may be trying to create a fight with Israel to divert attention from a potentially damaging United Nations probe into the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, for which Syria and Hezbollah have been widely blamed.

Muslim organisation calls for efforts to improve awareness as four-fifths of those polled admit to little knowledge of the faith
Three-quarters of non-Muslims believe Islam has provided a negative contribution to British society, according to a new poll, which has prompted calls for Muslims to help improve the perception of their faith
Minister urges sect followers to stop spreading faith
Religious Affairs Minister Suryadharma Ali called Ahmadiyah apostate to Islamic teaching and said followers should stop propagating their faith.
“It’s clear from a 2008 joint ministerial decree that Ahmadiyah is not a religion and can be categorized as deviant to Islam. Therefore [Ahmadiyah] followers had better stop their activities,” the minister said. ... NOTE: The Akhmadiyyas claim, not only that they are Muslims, but that they are the only true Muslims. The rest of the Muslim world disagrees. This tiny sect (about one percent of the worldwide Muslim population) is rejected and persecuted by the rest of the Muslim world. Why? There are two main reasons: 1) they have their own prophet, and the rest of Islam says that there can be no prophets after Muhammad; and 2) the Ahmadiyyas are peaceful and reject the traditional Islamic doctrine of the offensive Jihad. Pakistan, where the Ahmadiyyas started, has officially prohibited Ahmadiyyas from calling themselves "Muslims" or from calling their houses of prayer "mosques". A couple of months ago, Sunni Muslims murdered about 100 Ahmadiyyas and bombed an Ahmadiyya mosque.

For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens;
God himself that formed the earth and made it;
he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited:
I am the LORD; and there is none else.
I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth:
I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain:
I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations:
they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image,
and pray unto a god that cannot save.
Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together:
who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time?
have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me;
a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth:
for I am God, and there is none else.

Darwin Meets Orwell
Evolution’s corruption of science continues to reach new heights. Consider a recent paper written by an evolutionist in a leading journal about, of all things, our criminal justice system. That’s right, evolutionists now want to recast sentencing procedures according to their beliefs about origins. It’s another should-we-laugh-or-cry story as the underlying reasoning is so banal while the recommendations are so scary. I doubt even George Orwell could have envisioned this.

EPA control of CO2: Obama’s Vehicle To Destroy The US Economy is Launched By Dr. Tim Ball
John Topping, who served as editor of portions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) First Assessment Report (FAR) concerning impacts of climate change, wrote an article titled, “Massachusetts v. EPA: A Turning Point for the US on Climate Change?” He sees the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) loss as a victory because they can now control CO2, fossil fuels, and the US economy. Frighteningly, it’s based on completely falsified science and is totally unnecessary. It’s what President Obama really meant when he talked about change. In a pre-election interview he revealed his true intention, “Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.”EPA has launched the rocket with its economy-destroying warhead.
Oops! Obama mama passport 'destroyed' By Jerome R. Corsi State Department claims records gone for Stanley Ann Dunham prior to 1968
Responding to a Freedom of Information Act request, the State Department has released passport records of Stanley Ann Dunham, President Obama's mother – but records for the years surrounding Obama's 1961 birth are missing.
The State Department claims a 1980s General Services Administration directive resulted in the destruction of many passport applications and other "non-vital" passport records, including Dunham's 1965 passport application and any other passports she may have applied for or held prior to 1965.
Destroyed, then, would also be any records shedding light on whether Dunham did or did not travel out of the country around the time of Barack Obama's birth.
The claim made in the FOIA response letter that many passport records were destroyed during the 1980s comes despite a statement on the State Department website that Passport Services maintains U.S. passport records for passports issued from 1925 to the present.
The records released, however, contain interesting tidbits of new information about Obama's mother, including the odd listing of two different dates and locations for her marriage to Obama's Indonesian stepfather, Lolo Soetoro. Note: There is a list of Previous stories on this subject at the bottom of the article
Please read the following article!
The Left and the Rhinos want you to dismiss it,
but this man is NOT elligible to be our president!
Therefore much of wat he has done is null & void!
We need people to rise up and force this issue
and DEMAND PROOF of his birth as required by law!
Is Obama is a Communist Operative?This article has proof Obama was born in Kenya! Is this what Obama is hiding...you decide.........

He called me up a few minutes ago and said "Sir Edward F. Lavender"

Posted by Alan Peters at 11:56 PM Testimony from a Mombasa science teacher and the Mombasa Registrar of births that Obama's birth certificate from Mombasa is genuine. A copy of President Obama's birth certificate that Lucas Smith obtained through the help of a Kenyan Colonel who got it recently directly from the Coast General Hospital in Mombasa , Kenya . Dr. Alan keyes Video Opinion on Obama Global Elite Picked Obama Long Before Voters Man recounts startling tale of first time he heard of Barack Obama—18 years ago in Russia By Tom Fife
Tom Fife in the American Free Press was in Moscow in 1992 where a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences stated they had trained a Barack Obama as a communist and atheist and he will make easier the triumph of communism over the USA. The article (photo of article) is at the bottom of this home page regarding the birth of Barack Hussein Obama II in Mombasa , Kenya . Grandmother of President Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. reveals below the story of his birth in Mombasa , Kenya , a seaport, after his mother suffered labor pains while swimming at ocean beach in Mombasa .
"On August 4, 1961 Obama's mother, father and grandmother were attending a Muslim festival in Mombassa , Kenya . Mother had been refused entry to airplanes due to her 9 month pregnancy. It was a hot August day at the festival so the Obama's went to the beach to cool off. While swimming in the ocean his mother experienced labor pains so was rushed to the Coast Provincial General Hospital, Mombasa, Kenya where Obama was born a few hours later at 7:21pm on August 4, 1961. Four days later his mother flew to Hawaii and registered his birth in Honolulu as a certificate of live birth which omitted the place and hospital of birth." The local Imam in Mombasa named Barack with his middle name Hussein so his official name on his certificate of live birth below is Barack Hussein Obama, II. In USA all births are registered by hospitals and not by mothers.
No hospital of birth is listed nor is this a birth certificate. VIDEO showing how an Obama staffer forged above green certificate of live birth.
The Washington state case also alleges, "Wayne Madsen, Journalist with Online Journal as a contributing writer and published an article on June 9, 2008, stating that a research team went to Mombasa, Kenya, and located a Certificate Registering the birth of Barack Obama, Jr. at Coast General Maternity Hospital, to his father, a Kenyan citizen and his mother, a U.S. citizen. Video of Grandmother stating she was present at Obama's birth in Mombasa, Kenya. Letter from Kitau in Mombasa , Kenya
I happen to be Kenyan. I was born 1 month before Obama at Mombasa medical center. I am a teacher here at the MM Shaw Primary School in Kenya . I compared my birth certificate to the one that has been put on by Taitz and mine is exactly the same. I even have the same registrar and format. The type is identical.
I am by nature a skeptical person. I teach science here and challenge most things that cannot be proven. So I went to an official registrar today and pulled up the picture on the web. They magnified it and determined it to be authentic. There is even a plaque with Registrar Lavenders name on it as he was a Brit and was in charge of the Registrar office from 1959 until January of 1964.
The reason the date on the certificate says republic of Kenya is that we were a republic when the "copy" of the original was ordered. I stress the word "copy". My copy also has republic of Kenya. So what you say is true about Kenya not being a republic at the time of Obama's birth, however it was a republic when the copy was ordered. The birth certificate is genuine. I assure you it will be authenticated by a forensic auditor. We are very proud Obama was born here. We have a shrine for him and there are many people who remember his birth here as he had a white mother. They are being interviewed now by one of your media outlets. Fortunately they even have pictures of his parents with him immediately after his birth at the Mombasa hospital with the hospital in the back ground. It will be a proud day for us when it is proven that he was born here and a Kenyan became the most powerful man in the world. I encourage anyone to come here and visit. I will be happy to take you and show you the pictures at the hospital myself as well as my document and many others that are identical to what Taitz posted.
God Bless.

Daniel Greenfield article: Albion and Israel - In the Same Boat, or Running Aground
The British press is naturally outraged that Shimon Peres dared suggest that the British political establishment was pro-Arab and anti-Israel, and that MP's cowardly courted Muslim votes first. Peres has already been forced to apologize for his understatement. And an understatement it is, coming in the same week when British PM David Cameron visited Turkey, a Muslim country that has over 10,000 political prisoners, and continues to occupy Cyprus-- yet his only mention of human rights was to condemn Israel for defending itself against a Turkish provocation. So first let's look at what Peres actually said, because everyone in the British press from the Daily Mail to the Telegraph, are paraphrasing what he said, rather quoting or than linking to the original interview. ...
..... It is past time, that this very same establishment was forced to confront the bitter truth that its policies on the Middle East have backfired badly, that pandering to Muslims has turned its cities into war zones, and that worse is yet to come. England is coming into the same boat as Israel. Only as it has done before with Rhodesia, it is trying to sink the boat, rather than help bail it out. If England could work together with Israel when the Suez Canal was endangered, yet cannot when its own cities are endangered, one wonders exactly where its priorities are, and whether that is not exactly the same kind of misplaced priorities that has placed it in such peril today.

America’s Got More Shale Gas than the Entire World Can Possibly Use in 150 Years – and Those Estimates Will Continue to Grow, Says Colorado School of Mines. Robert Samuelson writes (8/2) in the Washington Post, “How much shale gas exists is unknown, but estimates are huge. The Potential Gas Committee is a group of geologists who regularly estimate future U.S. gas supplies. In 2000, the group's estimate equaled about 54 years of present annual consumption; by 2008, it was almost 90 years. "This isn't the end," says Colorado School of Mines geologist John Curtis. Globally, one study estimated the recoverable supply at 16,200 trillion cubic feet, more than 150 times today's annual world gas use. Some standard drilling techniques, applied imaginatively, liberated shale gas. The first was "fracturing": injecting liquids into reservoirs to create openings that allow the gas to flow up the drill pipe. For years, Mitchell's engineers experimented with different "fracing fluids." All were expensive, and the resulting gas flows weren't profitable. In 1997, engineers tried a less costly mix of sand and water. The economics of shale gas improved dramatically, says Dan Steward, a former geologist for Mitchell. Devon Energy, which bought Mitchell's company in 2002, improved the economics further by emphasizing "horizontal drilling." In conventional wells, the drill goes straight down and collects gas or oil near the well bore. With horizontal drilling, the pipe is turned sideways when it hits the reservoir and collects gas or oil for hundreds or thousands of feet. Gas flows increase. Fewer wells are needed. Costs drop.
Melancon Amdt to CLEAR Act Wouldn’t Do a Thing to End Obama Offshore Ban, Nevermind His Press Release – Which Is Why 215 Democrats Voted For It. Energy Guardian (8/2, subs. req’d) reports, “The Democratic-led House surprised a lot of people following the offshore oil debate Friday when it voted to ease the Obama administration’s ban on deepwater drilling. But one needs to look no further than the text of the amendment to understand why 215 Democrats and only five Republicans voted for it. “Nothing herein affects the [Interior] Secretary’s authority to suspend offshore drilling permitting and drilling operations based on the threat of significance, irreparable or immediate harm or damage to life, property, or the marine, coastal or human environment,” the bill says. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar continues to argue that a “pause” on offshore drilling is necessary because the BP oil spill has strained the federal government’s resources and deepwater rigs pose a threat because the cause of the spill is unknown. In effect, it appears that the moratorium can and will likely stay in place even though the House passed legislation to lift it. And that is exactly what sparked an intrastate squabble that played out on the House floor Friday between Louisiana Reps. Steve Scalise, a Republican, and Charlie Melancon, a Democrat who authored the amendment. “There were a few sections that got added in that allows the secretary to have statutory authority, that he doesn’t have now, to issue more moratoriums even if this current one is stopped,” Scalise said.

ISRAPUNDENT Articles - Ted Belman Your Rights as a Citizen and Juror under the Obama Regime by Bill Levinson
The August issue of the American Rifleman reports that Senator Lautenberg (D-NJ), Rep. Peter King (R-NY) and Mayor Michael Bloomberg are promoting legislation under which nameless Federal bureaucrats can place any citizen’s name on a “terrorist watchlist,” after which it would be illegal for said citizen to buy or possess firearms. Secret courts, Star Chambers (“Court sessions were held in secret, with no indictments, no right of appeal, no juries, and no witnesses”), and bills of attainder are illegal and unconstitutional in this country so, should this law ever go into effect, we will simply not enforce it if we are selected for jury duty.

These muslim women were created by the devil???
Daniel Greenfield article: Group A and Group BMUST READ!!!! *****
Suppose we have two groups. Group A believes that women are human beings, just like men are, and that they should be equal partners in their society. Group B believes that women were created by the devil to tempt men, that they have no human rights, and that they must be used to have as many children as possible. If Group A and B live in different parts of the world, each region will develop in a way that reflects their different ways of life.
Group A will have highly productive workforces and individual freedom, high divorce rates and low birth rates. By contrast Group B will have high birth rates, no divorces, weak productivity and no freedom. Both groups enjoy the consequences of living in tune with their worldviews. For a while. But what happens when Group B begins to move its surplus population into the region of Group A? The higher birth rate enjoyed by Group B will make it more aggressive, particularly since a society that devalues women will also cull baby girls and practice polygamy leading to a surplus of young male. But those same qualities will also help keep it backward, making it much less effective militarily against a modern productive and efficient society. Group B will therefore have a great deal of trouble successfully invading Group A's territory, unless Group A allows it to happen. That of course is the situation we're faced with today.
Striking Contrasts Paul Eidelberg
Ralph Peters, a former U.S Army officer and adviser of the U.S executive department is a strategic analyst who has travelled extensively in the Islamic world.
In his book Looking for Trouble, Peters describes Islam's degradation of women in Pakistan. He writes: For most women in Pakistan, life is circumscribed and miserable. In the West, our spouses or lovers may also be our best friends, and in the healthiest relationships there is not only passion, but conversations about God and the world and the price of corn flakes. In Pakistan, a wife may be an ally, but it is hard to imagine any wife as a best friend. Men and women live in great separation, psychic as much as physical. The woman is simply not a full-fledged human being in the sense that male is. While a woman's chastity is respected (and occasionally exaggerated), this has nothing to do with her human rights, but with her status as an object—the property first of the family that spawned her, then of her husband. She is rarely educated (almost never to serious effect), seldom employed beyond the home, and possesses, at best, the freedom of the pet dog, but without the master's unstinting affection. This stands in striking contrast with the exalted status of women in Judaism, as exemplified in the Bible and in Jewish law. It may be one of the reasons why Islam is more hostile to Jews than to people of other faiths.
Here is a stark example. According to the Babylonian Talmud (tractate Horayot 23a): "If a man and his father and his [Torah] teacher were in captivity [for ransom], he takes precedence over his teacher and his teacher takes precedence over his father, while his mother takes precedence over them all [perhaps because of her greater vulnerability]."
There is no simplistic or doctrinaire egalitarianism in Judaism. Thus, in his commentary to Tractate Kiddushin, the illustrious Meiri (Rabbi Menahem b. Solomon Meiri, 1249-1316) points out that "God is a partner in every person equally with the person's father and mother."
"Scripture mentions the father first in regard to honor" (Exod. 20:12); "the mother is mentioned first in regard to fear" (Lev. 19:3). "This is to equalize the natural tendency to honor the mother and to fear the father." Judaism is very rational, which may be another reason why Islam is so hostile to Jews.
ONLY the US Supreme Court has Constitutional Authority to Conduct the Trial By Publius Huldah
Does anyone read the U.S. Constitution these days? American lawyers don’t read it. Federal Judge Susan R. Bolton apparently has never read it. Same goes for our illustrious Attorney General Eric Holder. But this lawyer has read it and she is going to show you something in Our Constitution which is as plain as the nose on your face. ..... Judge Susan R. Bolton has no more authority to preside over this case than do you
See where it says, “State of Arizona”? And “Janice K. Brewer, Governor of the State of Arizona, in her official Capacity”? THAT (plus Art. III, Sec. 2, clause 2) is what gives the US Supreme Court “original Jurisdiction”, i.e., jurisdiction to conduct the trial of this case. THAT is what strips the federal district court of any jurisdiction whatsoever to hear this case. Judge Susan R. Bolton has no more authority to preside over this case than do you (unless you are a US Supreme Court justice)........
So! Counsel for the State of Arizona should consider:
1. File a Petition for Removal before federal district court Judge Susan R. Bolton demanding that the case be removed to the Supreme Court on the ground that under Art. III, Sec. 2, clause 2, US Constitution, only the Supreme Court has jurisdiction to conduct the trial of this case.
2. If Judge Bolton denies the Petition for Removal, file a Petition for Writ of Mandamus in the Supreme Court asking that court to order Judge Bolton to transfer the case to the Supreme Court.

Forty Acres & a Mule -- Sherrod Style? Rosslyn Smith
Shirley Sherrod's quick dismissal from the Obama administration may have had less to do with her comments on race before the NAACP than her long involvement in the aptly named Pigford case, a class action against the US government on behalf of black farmers alleging that the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) had discriminated against black farmers during the period from 1983 through 1997. ...
...In other words, according to Agri-Pulse.com the number of total claims filed not only exceeded the original estimate by almost 40 to 50 times, it is close to four times the USDA's estimate of 26,785 total black owned farms in 1977! One reason for this is that the settlement applied to farmers and those who "attempted to farm" and did not receive assistance from the USDA. Getting the latest round of Pigford cases from the 2008 farm bill settled is said to be a high priority for the Obama administration.
So where does Sherrod come into this picture? In a special to the Washington Examiner, Tom Blumer explains that Sherrod and the group she formed along with family members and others, New Communities. Inc. received the largest single settlement under Pigford.

Iranian woman facing death by stoning: "Many nights, before sleeping, I think to myself how can anybody be prepared to throw stones at me; to aim at my face and hands? Why?"
The answer is, simply: Muhammad. Per Qur'an 33:21, he is the supreme example of conduct for Muslims. Muhammad's involvement in stonings is recorded in Sunni ahadith, and the tradition has clearly survived in the Shi'ite tradition as well.

M3 Report - NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FORMER BORDER PATROL OFFICERS Daily Foreign News Report - Articles translated to English
Timing of National Guard's Deployment to Southwest Border Stirs Confusion, Anger The 1,200 National Guard troops expected to arrive Sunday on the southwest border for reinforcement won't finish deploying until late September, federal officials say, stirring confusion and anger among Arizona lawmakers who thought the deadline was Aug. 1.
President Obama announced in May he would send National Guard troops amid growing concerns about border violence stemming from illegal immigration and drug smuggling. Many called for a military presence along the U.S-Mexico border to assist border patrol agents as Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed a controversial law making illegal immigration a state crime -- a policy that a judge weakened this week in federal court.
Earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security said the troops would be sent Aug. 1. But now both the National Guard Bureau and the Customs Border Protection says that date was when they were directed to start ramping up their numbers.
Arizona lawmakers shook their heads in disgust.
Turkey Building 10 Meter High Wall inside Jerusalem by Gil Ronen For no apparent reason, the Turkish government is building a 10 meter high wall along a section of the Old City wall. – and no one is stopping them.
Aryeh King, Chairman of the Public Complaints Bureau in eastern Jerusalem, recently noticed signs in Turkish and English around a section of the Old City wall near the Lions' Gate. The signs proclaimed that a construction project was being carried out by Turkish governmental fund TIKA. Next to the signs, Arab workers were working on completing a huge 10 meter high wall around the Muslim cemetery there, and the wall is now virtually finished.
King told Arutz Sheva's Hebrew news magazine Sunday that there is no apparent reason for building the wall, since a wall already surrounds the Muslim cemetery. The new wall is twice as high as the old one and does nothing to strengthen it, he said. “There is no logic behind this structure, either engineering or landscape-related,” he explained, and the new wall blocks the view of the Old City to drivers passing by it on the Jericho Road.

ISRAPUNDENT Articles - Ted Belman Kissinger’s Guilt By David Isaac
Recently declassified White House transcripts (featured in an editorial in the Israeli daily Haaretz) show former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger blaming Israel for the problems in the region, accusing Israel of being “deliberately provocative” and attempting “to create maximum commotion in the Middle East.”
In the newly released documents Kissinger refers to the Golan Heights as “Syrian territory” and the Syrians as “my friends.” He confides to an Algerian diplomat that “a (new Arab-Israeli) war wouldn’t be so bad for us. … We could show (Israel) we are tough.” Us? This strongly suggests Kissinger identified with the Arab side in the Arab-Israel conflict.
While these documents do not cover the period of the 1973 war (they cover the end of the Nixon administration and eighteen months of the subsequent Ford administration), they bear out Shmuel Katz’s devastating assessment of Kissinger’s role during the... NJDC sides/sided with J Street over ECI
SECOND UPDATE: NJDC’s David Harris calls me back to rescind his words about J Street’s bipartisan nature. See bottom of post.
The controversial new pro-Israel outfit, Emergency Committee for Israel “is playing with fire,” says David Harris, president and CEO of the National Jewish Democratic Council, which recently released a “fact sheet” aimed at exposing what it says are ECI’s “dangerous” smear tactics.
ECI – founded earlier this month by neoconservatives and evangelical Christians – has been warring with J Street over the Pennsylvania Senate race, and both groups have sought to gain the upper hand by placing Israel front and center.
However, ECI, says Harris, has gone too far in its attacks on Democratic Rep. Joe Sestak.
“They’re using Israel solely as a partisan wedge issue and they’re employing tactics that have..

MOSQUES - video on why mosques are not like churches
“A mosque is...a signia and a symbolism of the establishment of an Islamic authority and the Islamization of that territory and the rightful restoration.....because Allah has declared in the Koran the whole world belongs to them and Mohamed came and said....and the whole earth has been declared unto me a mosque....and therefore it is restoring...it is not only a conquest but it is a re-restoration of their rights and the Islamification of the rest of the world.”
Interview, Sam Solomon, Ottawa - video from above article on YouTube Islam is not simply a religion. Islam is a socio-political system. It is a socio-political, socio-religious, socio-economic, socio-educational, socio-judicial, legislatic, militaristic system cloaked in, garbed in religious terminology. And therefore Islam is not like any other religion that goes out, comparing here and contrasting to the Christian faith for instance, and doing missionary work and saying "come and be converted this is a peaceful thing" and so on. No. Islam has always come out and marched and it is conversion by force.
So, it is a political system. When Islam came out from Arabia, it did not go out with missionaries peacefully talking to their neighbors and saying "here is what our prophet Mohamed has come with and so on and so forth. No. There were hordes of assassins who marched into the surrounding world and subjugated them by force. Islam is a system. And wherever there is a Muslim community there will be a sharia. And wherever there is a sharia there is an Islamification of the territory and ultimately of that nation.

Considering the difficulty of culturing anaerobic bacteria, it was hard to identify them with 1920s technology.
Most of the bacteria reported by organized dentistry at that time were aerobes of unknown significance. Today, with DNA analysis available, anaerobic bacteria (the dangerous kind) can be identified whether dead or alive by the presence of their telltale DNA signatures.
