The Palestinians-- the First Terrorist People

01.27.06 (9:41 pm)   [edit]
From David Horowitz's blog-- http://www.frontpagemag.com/b...

The Palestinian Nazi Party has won the elections. This is a party, Hamas, that calls for the obliteration of the Jewish state (in so many words) and the killing of Jews because they are Jews (in so many words), and cites the Koranic damnation of Jews and incitement to murder Jews in justification. Hamas is a party of Islamic fanatics who are part of the global jihad against the United States and the West, whose hero is Osama bin Laden. Hamas was the biggest foreign supporter of Saddam Hussein. With this vote in record numbers, the Palestinian people have joined en masse the Axis of Evil. They are the self-declared enemies of Jews, of America and of civilized values, and should be treated as such. The Palestinians have declared with this vote they want no peace. They should be given none.

The defeated Fatah Party -- the "moderate" party -- is of course the creation of the terrorist Yassir Arafat. Its official charter calls for the destruction of Israel and its leadership has been dedicated to terror since the the PLO was created by the bloody dictator Nasser and the KGB in 1964. Its leader Mahmoud Abbas is a Holocaust denier and the financier of the kidnapping and execution of the Israeli Olympic team in Munich in 1972, and Arafat's ally in terror for the duration since.

But then the father of Palestinian nationalism himself is the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem al-Husseini a fanatical devotee of Adolf Hitler who served the Nazi cause in Berlin during the Second World War .

The Palestinians are the first people in the history of humanity to embrace terror and genocide as a way of life. Palestinian schools train kindergarteners and first graders to aspire to murder innocent Jews by blowing themselves up alongside them, and then tell them that if they're lucky enough to be males, they will go to heaven and have 72 virgins attend their every whim. Palestinian parents murder their own children by telling them to murder Jewish children so that Allah can reward them. This is the sickest culture on the face of the earth, and the fact that is supported by the American secular left reveals the terminal sickness of those who crusade in the name of social justice.

At the core of this sickness is a hatred for the West and Israel for being successful, democratic and tolerant.And at the core of this sickness, of course, is self-hatred. Self-hatred for the 1,000 year failure of Arab Muslim culture to compete with the West and for the absolute bankruptcy of the Palestinian cause -- despite billions and billions of dollars poured into the West Bank and Gaza by Europe, Israel and the United States whose purpose was to help this people consumed in their own emotional poisons, only to be stolen in transit by their corrupt and homicidal leaders who buried their loot in Swiss bank accounts or used it to buy weapons of mass murder, and to spread destruction, which is the only contribution that the Arabs of the Palestinian mandate have made to the world since their national aspirations were first announced half a century ago. .

US may cut aid to Palestinians

01.27.06 (3:33 pm)   [edit]
Because the US does not negotiate or give aid to terrorists, including Hamas, and Hamas has just won the elections in the "Palestinian" territory, the US will most likely be cutting off aid to the Palestinians.-- http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20...

I think this is great because we shouldn't have been giving money to the "Palestinians" in the first place. Fatah was just as much a terror organization as Hamas-- certainly they had the same goals (the destruction of Israel and Jews), but because of liberals like Jimmy Carter, who legitimized the PLO and the "resistance", the US had to legitimize it.

Of course, there is nothing legitimate about the "Palestinians" or their cause. These "Palestinians" are Arabs who live in the geographic region of Palestine (which is what the region used to be called by the Romans). A "Palestinian" is anyone who lives in that region, and is historically synonymous with the Jews, who were the only people to make anything out of that region.

What the modern-day "Palestinians" have become are dupes of racism and Islamofascism: they are told that they will have Israel so they do not care to fix what's wrong with their society now. Their culture is so ingrained with hate that in their "free" election they basically had to choose between two sides of the same coin. A "moderate" in this culture is someone who still wants Israel destroyed, but doesn't think all Jews should die (instead, they should be sent to Germany or America). The recognition of Israel's right to exist is something anathema to the "Palestinians", and you can blame the surrounding Arab governments, and the old Soviet Union for this.

Google loves freedom, but not if it includes money

01.25.06 (3:34 pm)   [edit]
Last week the world was applauding Google for not giving the federal government information on what people were searching for on its service. The government was ostensibly trying to locate pedophiles and the like. Civil libertarians cooed over Google's tough stance.

This week, however, Google has turned 180 degrees and decided that it will censor its Chinese search system after the Chinese Communist government complained. Google will block politically sensitive material (i.e. anything that upsets the dictatorship) and not offer blogging, email, or chat. Essentially, they will block anything that allows two people to discuss the government and, quite possibly, dissent from it.

According to Google's co-founder Sergey Brin the decision was tough because "more information is better, even if it is not as full as we would like to see."

Ahem. HORSE SHIT.

This is about money, and China is the world's 2nd largest user of the internet, and will probably be number one in about 10 years. The almighty dollar means more to Google than any sort of hogwash about doing the right thing.

And you, Mr. Relativist, might say "so what?" Well, the so what is this: right is right and wrong is wrong, no matter where it occurs. If we can complain about America's friendships with oil-rich countries, why can't we complain about every single American company doing big bucks with the communist Chinese state?

Just as the US critics charge that our oil consumption enriches and solidifes the terror-supporting nations in the Middle East, so too does every dollar we spend to Google and every other company go to supporting a nation which is very interested in holding on to power and squashing freedom. All with a smiling face.

For some reason, though, no one thinks China is a threat to its own people. Or to the world. We've been lulled to sleep by 40 years of dialogue and propaganda. And even that is OK on some level-- but let's not kid ourselves about Google and its newfound love of civil liberties.

Iran and Iraq....what's the difference?

01.16.06 (12:33 pm)   [edit]
Back in the day, Iraq was suspected of making WMDs. The UN got involved, put on economic sanctions, and Iraq never came clean about them. Fearing distablization in the region, the US and the Coalition of the Willing went to war-- justifiably, since not only did Iraq break its cease-fire with the US and the UN (and post 9/11 this was a big deal), but broke its trust with the international community. The fact that we haven't found any new WMD there doesn't take away from the justness of the cause-- the onus was on Hussein to come clean about his WMD so he didn't someday bomb Israel, Iran, Europe, the US-- or his own people. He was a mass murderer no different than Hitler who deserved to be brought to justice.

Today, Iran is suspected of making nukes, in direct violation of the treaty it signed with the international community. This is a big deal because Iran is THE sponsor of terrorism in the region, frequently threatens Israel with total destruction and generally oppresses any dissent in its country. Today the EU-3 and the US want to take Iran to the UNSC, and though Russia and CHina agree that Iran should not be taken to the UNSC, they do believe that Iran should be punished. Are we going to go down the same road as we did with Iraq? If we did, what would the Left say? Does the left care about nuclear proliferation anymore or are they so far entrenched in moral relativism that they believe that Iran [i]should[/i] have nukes? One more time: does anyone truly believe that Iran needs to enrich uranium for fuel? Especially in the light of their daily apocalyptic talk against Jews and CHristians (and basically anyone that isn't Islamic)?

Wal-Mart gets singled out, and America suffers

01.13.06 (6:54 pm)   [edit]
How powerful is a myth? A myth is so powerful that it can move governments. Witness the Maryland legislature which overruled the veto of its governor and has enforced a bill that forces employers with over 10,000 workers to pay at least 8% of its payroll on healthcare.
Wal-Mart is the only company in Maryland with over 10,000 workers, so it was definitely aimed at them.

They myth? That Wal-Mart is slave labor that doesn't offer good healthcare to its employees. The result? A disaster.

This bill will make prices at Wal-Mart higher, which means that we will all pay more for products. This will cause [i]reduced[/i]wages at Wal-Mart, more part-time workers, and therefore less health care being offered. It will also discourage Wal-Mart and other major companies from growing in those places where this absurd rule exists. As a unemployment will rise even more sharply.

Will Wal-Mart then get blamed for not hiring enough full-time workers? It seems that this bill is to put Wal-Mart out of business. Like many other great American companies, like Microsoft, WM is being punished for being succesful.

Facts are Wal-Mart offers good wages and very good health care, comparable to other companies in the industry.

And since when did health care become a right? Traditionally men and women were supposed to pay for their health care, but with the rise of unions in the 20th century, companies found it was easier to offer benefits than deal with raising wages. This was a longer suicide, still resulting in disaster. Witness GM and various state retirement systems now. Baby boomers feel it is their "right" to cash in now, and if their demands were unfair to begin with, so what? They still want it.

We've sat back and marvelled at the rise of Wal-Mart. Even if you hated it, you must accede the fact that it was a trend-setter. But now, with the absolute insanity going on with these attacks on economic liberty, Wal-Mart may someday be regarded as America's last giant.

Iran should be nuked, and here's reason 6,078,301

From Iran Focus-- http://www.iranfocus.com/modu...

Tehran, Iran, Jan. 07 – An Iranian court has sentenced a teenage rape victim to death by hanging after she weepingly confessed that she had unintentionally killed a man who had tried to rape both her and her niece.

The state-run daily Etemaad reported on Saturday that 18-year-old Nazanin confessed to stabbing one of three men who had attacked the pair along with their boyfriends while they were spending some time in a park west of the Iranian capital in March 2005.

Nazanin, who was 17 years old at the time of the incident, said that after the three men started to throw stones at them, the two girls’ boyfriends quickly escaped on their motorbikes leaving the pair helpless.

She described how the three men pushed her and her 16-year-old niece Somayeh onto the ground and tried to rape them, and said that she took out a knife from her pocket and stabbed one of the men in the hand.

As the girls tried to escape, the men once again attacked them, and at this point, Nazanin said, she stabbed one of the men in the chest. The teenage girl, however, broke down in tears in court as she explained that she had no intention of killing the man but was merely defending herself and her younger niece from rape, the report said.

The court, however, issued on Tuesday a sentence for Nazanin to be hanged to death.

Last week, a court in the city of Rasht, northern Iran, sentenced Delara Darabi to death by hanging charged with murder when she was 17 years old. Darabi has denied the charges.

In August 2004, Iran’s Islamic penal system sentenced a 16-year-old girl, Atefeh Rajabi, to death after a sham trial, in which she was accused of committing “acts incompatible with chastity”.

The teenage victim had no access to a lawyer at any stage and efforts by her family to retain one were to no avail. Atefeh personally defended herself and told the religious judge that he should punish those who force women into adultery, not the victims. She was eventually hanged in public in the northern town of Neka.

Pat Robertson is just a nut on t.v.; this guy is president of a nuclear terrorist state

01.10.06 (1:22 pm)   [edit]
While we continue to focus on things like Pat Robertson's goofy statements on t.v. (the guy is older than dirt, folks), real fundamentalist threats like Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, continue to be ignored.

From Frontpage Magazine-- http://www.frontpagemag.com/A...

[b]Iran's Messianic Menace[/b]
By Daniel Pipes
FrontPageMagazine.com | January 10, 2006

Thanks to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran, a new word has entered the political vocabulary: mahdaviat.

Not surprisingly, it’s a technical religious term. Mahdaviat derives from mahdi, Arabic for “rightly-guided one,” a major figure in Islamic eschatology. He is, explains the Encyclopaedia of Islam, “the restorer of religion and justice who will rule before the end of the world.” The concept originated in the earliest years of Islam and, over time, became particularly identified with the Shi‘ite branch. Whereas “it never became an essential part of Sunni religious doctrine,” continues the encyclopedia, “Belief in the coming of the Mahdi of the Family of the Prophet became a central aspect of the faith in radical Shi‘ism,” where it is also known as the return of the Twelfth Imam.

Mahdaviat means “belief in and efforts to prepare for the Mahdi.”

In a fine piece of reporting, Scott Peterson of the Christian Science Monitor shows the centrality of mahdaviat in Ahmadinejad’s outlook and explores its implications for his policies.

When he was still mayor of Tehran in 2004, for example, Ahmadinejad appears to have secretly instructed the city council to build a grand avenue to prepare for the Mahdi. A year later, as president, he allocated US$17 million for a blue-tiled mosque closely associated with mahdaviat in Jamkaran, south of the capital. He has instigated the building of a direct Tehran-Jamkaran railroad line. He had a list of his proposed cabinet members dropped into a well adjacent to the Jamkaran mosque, it is said, to benefit from its purported divine connection.

He often raises the topic, and not just to Muslims. When addressing the United Nations in September, Ahmadinejad flummoxed his audience of world political leaders by concluding his address with a prayer for the Mahdi’s appearance: “O mighty Lord, I pray to you to hasten the emergence of your last repository, the Promised One, that perfect and pure human being, the one that will fill this world with justice and peace.”

On returning to Iran from New York, Ahmadinejad recalled the effect of his U.N. speech:

one of our group told me that when I started to say “In the name of God the almighty and merciful,” he saw a light around me, and I was placed inside this aura. I felt it myself. I felt the atmosphere suddenly change, and for those 27 or 28 minutes, the leaders of the world did not blink. … And they were rapt. It seemed as if a hand was holding them there and had opened their eyes to receive the message from the Islamic republic.

What Peterson calls the “presidential obsession” with mahdaviat leads Ahmadinejad to “a certitude that leaves little room for compromise. From redressing the gulf between rich and poor in Iran, to challenging the United States and Israel and enhancing Iran’s power with nuclear programs, every issue is designed to lay the foundation for the Mahdi’s return.”

“Mahdaviat is a code for [Iran’s Islamic] revolution, and is the spirit of the revolution,” says the head of an institute dedicated to studying and speeding the Mahdi’s appearance. “This kind of mentality makes you very strong,” observes the political editor of Resalat newspaper, Amir Mohebian. “If I think the Mahdi will come in two, three, or four years, why should I be soft? Now is the time to stand strong, to be hard.” Some Iranians, reports PBS, “worry that their new president has no fear of international turmoil, may think it's just a sign from God.”

Mahdaviat has direct and ominous implications for the U.S.-Iran confrontation, says an Ahmadinejad supporter, Hamidreza Taraghi of Iran’s hard-line Islamic Coalition Society. It implies seeing Washington as the rival to Tehran and even as a false Mahdi. For Ahmadinejad, the top priority is to challenge America, and specifically to create a powerful model state based on “Islamic democracy” by which to oppose it. Taraghi predicts trouble ahead unless Americans fundamentally change their ways.

I’d reverse that formulation. The most dangerous leaders in modern history are those (like Hitler) equipped with a totalitarian ideology and a mystical belief in their own mission. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad fulfills both these criteria, as revealed by his U.N. comments. That combined with his expected nuclear arsenal make him an adversary who must be stopped, and urgently.

Iran breaks nuclear seals, heads toward a UN showdown

01.10.06 (12:59 pm)   [edit]
I don't know, I guess Iran breaking the seals at Natanz is a lot like officially declaring you've married a woman after you got her pregnant. Damage done, you know?

The only way Iran can be stopped with their nuclear "research" (and by the way, are we still supposed to think that Iran,with one of the largest oil reservers on the planet, just wantes "fuel"? )is if UN sanctions are put in place and/or Russia gets on board with the US and Europe in opposing Iran. Dialogue with Iran is just what it is-- dialogue. Iran clearly thinks it can do what it wants, and will do what it wants. And, sadly, Russia probably knows this, too.

All we need is a nuclear-armed Islamic fundamentalist state. Iran will threaten Europe and Israel and the rest of the Middle East with its Shahab-3 missiles (including Iraq and Afghanistan, where US troops are), will try to become the China of its region, while also posing a domestic threat to us as it gladly gives its tech to the terrorists.

Stop and think, Liberals, Republicans, anyone who claims to want "peace"-- we're entering dangerous new ground here.

Spielberg's Moral Confusion

01.07.06 (9:23 pm)   [edit]
A review of "Munich" by Mona Charen.

Excerpt--

[i]Munich is a well-crafted movie, but it is a deeply and disturbingly dishonest one. Many moviegoers were not even born in 1972, and many who were alive will scarcely remember the details. Do moviemakers owe nothing to them? Do they owe nothing to the truth? This is not Oliver Stone’s JFK, but for that reason its effect may be more insidious. The film looks like history but it is a morality play of the artist’s imagination. Spielberg uses real historical figures like Golda Meir as props, putting words in their mouths that they not only did not say, but would never have said. During the opening credits, the audience is informed that the film is “inspired by real events.” That could mean anything — but movie audiences probably will not parse the words with lawyerly care. They will read it in the context of a film that offers generous servings of verisimilitude. There are clips of sportscaster Jim McKay reporting from the Munich Olympics in 1972, as well as the voice of Peter Jennings narrating the harrowing events. Some of the details of the kidnapping and murder of the eleven Israeli athletes are well-researched. But as CC Colton warned, “Falsehood is never so successful as when she baits her hook with truth.”[/i]

In God we trust?

01.05.06 (3:28 pm)   [edit]
I find it hard to believe that we have a "separation" of church and state in this country, the kind where there can be absolutely no interaction between the God and the people who make up government. The first amendment is clear enough: [i]Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.[/i]

The interpretation "separation of church and state" isn't even implied here as a division of the religious and the political. What the amendment says is that Congress cannot favor a religious institution or prevent anyone from worshipping in their own way. This does not say that the government cannot invoke God. It does not say that government cannot respect Jesus. The entire government could all say Christian prayers five times a day, but as long as they do not legislate in favor of that religion or infringe on the civil rights, though law, of others practicicing other religions, they are free to do so.

When we hear of critics bashing the right for the fundamentalism, it might be worthwhile to take not of the secular fundamentalists. For secularism is their religion, and advancing their cause, in the face of reality, is their mission. Much more often do I see secularists try and bash the meaning of the US constitution than I do the "religious" right. Nothing in the US constitution suggests the kind of "separation of church and state" that the secularists think is there. It does not exist.

More to that, we have the fact that every single state constitution's preamble invokes God or Divine Guidance. Is this a formality, or is it evidence of our Judeo-Christian-- and lawful-- heritage?

God bless the United States.

Deceptive "Munich"

Review from National Review-- http://www.nationalreview.com...

The Arab street finally explodes against Bush, but its white, western, and full of Democrats

01.03.06 (1:30 pm)   [edit]
Excellent Steyn article in National Review on the Defeaticrats, the American party of anti-freedom and anti-hope.-- http://www.nationalreview.com...

Excerpt--

[i]Oh, okay, so the Shiites and Kurds and Sunnis are feeling chipper, but in the broader Middle East the disastrous neocon invasion has inflamed moderate Arab opinion against America. Well, it’s true the explosive Arab street finally exploded the other day — with 200,000 Jordanians protesting in Amman, waving angry banners and yelling, “Burn in hell, Rumsfeld,” and, “You are a coward, Bush.” Whoops, my mistake: They were yelling, “Burn in hell, Zarqawi,” and, “You are a coward, Zarqawi.” If you want to hear someone yelling, “You are a coward, Bush,” you’ve got to go to Cindy Sheehan’s stakeout. And, in fairness to the network news divisions, it may be because so many of their camera crews have taken up permanent residence at the otherwise underpopulated Camp Cindy that they were unable to cover what was the largest demonstration against terrorism ever seen on the streets of the Middle East.

Oh, well. So the Shiites and Kurds and Sunni Iraqis and the Arab street are all on board, but come on, what about the insurgents? Everybody knows they’re winning . . . but, er, apparently they don’t. The Baathist diehard insurgents have split from the foreign al-Qaeda insurgents. While the latter denounced the Iraqi election as “a Satanic project,” the Saddamite remnants urged Sunnis to participate and said they’d protect polling stations from attacks by the foreign terrorists so that citizens could vote for their approved candidates (the leftover bits of Uday and Qusay, now running on the Psychotic Dictatorship Nostalgia Party ticket). This division between the foreign nutcakes and the domestic nutcakes is the biggest strategic split over the insurgency since Joe Lieberman respectfully distanced himself from Nancy Pelosi. [/i]

No policy, no rationality, and full-blown hypocrisy. Welcome to the American left.

Top scientific scams of 2005

01.03.06 (11:25 am)   [edit]
A nice collection of the top US scientific scams of 2005, from National Review-- http://www.nationalreview.com... . Excerpt--

[i]5. The EPA, claiming PCBs cause cancer, prevailed in its case against General Electric, forcing GE to begin removing traces of the chemicals from the Hudson River. The National Cancer Institute says there is no evidence that exposure to PCBs causes human cancer. The cost of the cleanup — an estimated $750 million — will be passed on to consumers and shareholders.[/i]

I think the top scam, wordwide, is the discovery that Big Science's poster boy for human cloning, Woo--Suk Hwang, lied about cloning human embryos-- http://www.weeklystandard.com... .

Drunks can be ironic! Witness Matt Martin...

01.03.06 (10:40 am)   [edit]
After a suitable period of grieving, Matthew Martin has come back to waste some time on ripping me-- http://www.tblog.com/template... . This is the guy whose life is so much better than mine, who wins at life while I lose (according to him), yet he has dedicated his blog to attacking me. Saweeet!

So, in a haze of alcohol or just plain stupidity, or both, Matthew world-by-the-ass Martin, class of 1995, sez:

"There are a few problems with this blog: first, the link provided doesn't link back to the original article so I suspect Jumbo didn't read it; second, Jumbo reads some shit into the article that isn't there. Another big surprise."

Well, I guess I should say first that I didn't write it. This is an excerpt, which is clear to anyone sober enough to read it. The link where this is at is at that hotbed of fanaticism, the Weekly Standard, which is clearly stated at the beginning of the blog-- http://www.weeklystandard.com... . You have to scroll down to find it, Matt. The excerpt also quotes that other conservative bastion, GQ. So far there's no word of outrage from GQ over WS's attacking Carter. Should that happen, which I doubt, I'll call Matthew Martin and let him know. And I'll apologize, too.

Second, I don't read anything into the article, since I didn't write it. But the implication in the excerpt is that Jimmy Cahtah not only thought this was swell (why else would he be talking about it in GQ), but did authorize it. Again, this is an excerpt, but so far there is no word of outrage from the guy who claimed he was once attacked by a rabbit.

What I love about Martin is that he goes off on me for being stupid, fat, a loser, etc., yet like a dog returning to his vomit, Martin always is the one engaging in the attacks. This alleged man has no purpose in life except to hope he gets laid, drink, and, when life gets too rough, self-righteously attack me. This shit would be hilarious if it weren't so damn sad.

Like the men he admires, Martin is, of course, a liar. Martin sez that I have a poetry degree from a university that doesn't exist. *Sigh* Looks like the vodka has eaten up his short-term memory. Well, wait, he is an asshole, so maybe not...anyhoo, I have a degree from a very non-fictional university, Ohio University. I was also in graduate school at West Virginia University.

Now I'll wait for the childish counter blog from this mama's boy about how he has the best life in the world, and how I'm a fat loser who can't read (even though he's the one that has problems with this 1st grade measure of progress) and how he's doing important work with his towering education!

I guess I have to claim some indulgence here, for I'm witnessing firsthand the self-destruction of an obsessed, pitiful mama's boy with no future. It's fascinating.
