The sky is falling! The earth is warming! The End is here! The defense budget might be cut!!! Yeah right, we can only wish. Any currently touted cuts will likely disappear in the upcoming budget negotiations, or near enough not to matter. Too much in campaign contributions depends on keeping President Eisenhower’s “military-industrial complex” happy, [...]

I really enjoyed the Mel Gibson film Conspiracy Theory. In fact, I love conspiracies altogether. Not that I believe them, but they are fun. One of the things that I find fascinating about them is that in any good conspiracy, there is at least a grain of truth. I would even go so far to [...]

What is war? War is killing people and destroying property until you get your way. The people include babies, children, teens, mothers, fathers and the elderly; property includes anything of any use to man. War is industrialized waste of lives and goods to satisfy political desires. Argue that if you can… The United States has [...]

Homeland Security’s TSA “Jack-booted thugs” per Ron Paul are now stopping random travelers on U.S. highways in Tennessee, expanding their airport searches for terrorists onto the country’s highways, though there is no history of highway threats to date. TSA Thugs On the Loose explains. Big Sis has given us a first: Being randomly stopped and searched on the [...]

“Do what I say, not what I do” takes on reality when the same government lawyers who accused the last President of exceeding his war powers eagerly justify his successor’s use of assassination against an American. White House Lawyers Who Drafted Secret Awlaki Kill Memo Were Critics of Bush’s War Powers will tell you more. So [...]

AND THE RAT THOUGHT LIBERALS WERE THE BIGGEST HYPOCRITES ON THE PLANET The envelope, please. (drum roll) Ladies and gentlemen…the winner…of this century’s Huge Brass Balls Award…by unanimous decision…is…al-Qaeda! Yes, folks, al-Qaeda wins the el-large-o cojones award hands down for criticizing the killing of U.S.-born al-Qaeda terrorist, Anwar al-Awlaki. And I thought liberals were the most audacious hypocrites on [...]

It’s a nice point: With Obama killing folks when and where he wishes, how can he deny that he is fair game himself? Islamic Website Asks: Is the Assassination of Obama Legal? It’s also interesting that there’s been no significant public interest or debate on rulers asserting the power of life or death at their whim. [...]

Sarkozy and Cameron photo-op’d their U.S.- enabled recolonization attempt in Libya as the media flacks added that to the piled-up Egyptian, Syrian and Tunisian frosting on the Iraqi and Afghan cakes. The Palestinians meanwhile want their subsidized anti-Israel political fronts recognized as a country, while President Obama smiles beneficently over all. The cost to the U.S. so far is recently [...]

1. Politicians can save the economy… False. Politicians can and repeatedly do trash it but only private enterprise can provide the wealth generation needed to to save a sick economy and to keep one healthy. The last President who said that–and proved it in the recession of 1920-1921–was Republican Warren Harding. He held off his [...]

WHO THE HELL DOES THIS GUY THINK HE IS? MUSLIMS STILL CLAIM SPAIN AFTER 519 YEARS! Ahmet Rehab, the head of the Chicago chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, (CAIR), says that following the tenth anniversary of 9/11, with the exception of remembering the victims, America should move on from the terrorist attacks. Huh? Two questions, Ahmet: [...]

Our premier spy agency has expanded into industrialized assassination, killing over 2,000 “targets” and civilians over the last 10 years, as the Washington Post dryly puts it. CIA Shifts Focus To Killing Targets will tell you more. Is creation of an automated killing machine on such a scale wise? Is it moral? It’s too secret for those discussions to occur. [...]
As Bombs Rock Oslo, One Must Question Multiculturalsim & Pacifism.
Norway came under deadly attack Friday with a massive bombing in the heart of its power center and a shooting at the ruling Labour Party’s youth camp on an island outside the capital — attacks that police said are definitely linked. Walter Gibbs, a journalist with Reuters, said one explosion appeared to have occurred on an upper floor of a main government building; every window on the side of the building had been blown out. The blast also severely damaged the Oil Ministry and left it in flames, he said. Reports conflicted on whether a second blast followed the first,�…..� Continue Reading…
Several months ago, I posted an article entitled Jihad Cosmo: al Qaeda Launches Women’s Magazine, which several readers incorrectly believed to be satire. The magazine was real, (although the name Jihad Cosmo was not), as were the stories I highlighted – which made it all the more hysterical. Well folks, AQ’s back with more.

Nina Shea posts on the evil circus that is Pakistan. Simpletons from the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam now consider the Holy Bible to be a pornographic blasphemy, threatening to punish people who own one. We should pull out of Pakistan, finish whatever business we have in the area, and be done with them. There will come a day when the monstrous mullahs infesting the country will pay for their hideous behavior against Christians and others. Until that day comes, it is best to let them stew in their own juices.
“As Americans have been seared by hostage taking, violent rhetoric, and terrorist attacks that have killed thousands of our citizens – A FAILURE TO CHANGE OUR APPROACH threatens a deepening spiral of division between the United States and Muslim communities.”–Barack Obama, May 19, 2011
Interrogating a hostile witness is like proposing marriage. You want to get it right the first try. So you don’t settle until you find the perfect spot. You take special care to set the right ambiance and set the mood. And then you wait for the best moment to pop the question.
So it has been revealed by the Associated Press that bin Laden was using couriers to transfer his email messages via usb drives carried to and fro.

FIELD TRIPS AND BIRTHDAY PARTIES CAN’T BE FAR BEHIND Just because the Obama Regime finally realized that closing the Guantanamo Bay military prison was a much better symbolic campaign promise to Bill Maher and Rosie O’Donnell than it was a responsible, big-boy executive decision made in the best interests of the United States doesn’t mean [...]

BURIAL AT SEA WAS DEMEANING; MAY SUE U.S. – In a display of hypocrisy equaled only by American liberals, Osama bin Laden’s son, Omar bin Laden says the killing of his terrorist father was “criminal,” and that he and his siblings may take legal action against America. Yep, Omar says the bin Laden boys are [...]

- IS ANYONE SURPRISED THAT BARACK OBAMA TOOK THE CREDIT? – It should certainly be noted that Barack Obama continued this country’s efforts to track down Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice. Rat chose “noted” and “continued” vs. “credited” and “spearheaded” for a reason: Did America, the world, or the al Qaeda mastermind [...]

Nearly ten years after striking at the heart of the American economy and military on 9-11-01, the mastermind behind Al-Qaeda’s war on the West has finally been tracked down and killed by covert forces. Reports state that the United States is in possession of his body as well. It took a long time for justice [...]

BEAUTY TIPS AND ADVICE ON SUICIDE BOMBINGS So ladies of jihad, is your mujahideen spending too much time making bombs and fighting the infadels? Are you finding that he’s just not the same sexy terrorist you were forced to marry as a child? Has it been far too long since your suicide-bomber-to-be has peeked beneath that burka? [...]
With all the juicy news from the Maghreb, I thought I’d throw a wrench and bring you back to reality with this rather unsettling story from Heidi Blake and Christopher Hope from the Daily Telegraph. Al-Qaida are capable of detonating more than just a dirty bomb according to intelligence reports.
Kudos to President Obama for upping the usage of attack drones in Pakistan. It looks to be keeping the local Al Qaeda franchise off-balance.
David Ignatius of the Washington Post reminds us of the Groundhog Day that is modern India and Pakistan. India has all the tools to be a successful country in the future, save one: their neighborhood. Pakistan can’t even find its own identity, much less develop a useful, worthwhile country like India has. Instead of picking fights over Kashmir (which should just vote for independence and fend for themselves), Pakistan should work on reforming the gruesome aspects of their culture, though, like as in Afghanistan, expect the tribal folk to keep molesting dancing boys before any real change comes to that part of the world.
Facebook is an evil idea. It destroys friendships. Oh, well… Off to the news:
Chechnya will never be quelled so long as a madman like Moscow’s hand-picked strongman, Ramzan Kadirov, is allowed to run roughshod over the citizenry, driving them to extremists who have more in common with Al Qaeda rather than the indigenous Sufi movements which are more prevalent in the region. Expect to see a lot more attacks like this one soon in Chechnya, possibly igniting a third war in the region in the past 20 years.
A shameful idiot of a Governator goes to Moscow and looks like an industrial tycoon in comparison to the locals, who are salivating at making a pseudo-Silicon Valley near Moscow that will, most likely, simply turn into a place for either the Putin/Medvyedev axis or the Russian Mafia to shake down and scare off any investment. It gets worse as Anna Chapman, the “sexy spy,” (right…) who bumbled her way into fame gets hired by a bank for her “advice.” Pity poor Russia.
Russian racism is nothing new. Anyone who doesn’t look like a run-of-the-mill Slav, even if you are as pale as the Georgians are, gets called the local equivalent of a nigger (and you’d better believe they find it as offensive as an African-American would). Russian Muslims in general are being treated in a disgraceful and inhuman way in Perm, Siberia, and insurrections are beginning to happen against officers who treat conscripts harshly. More bad news for the Russian Bear, I’m afraid.

STRATFOR’s founder analyzes the death of multikulti in Germany. You may wish to read Thomas Sowell’s excellent take on the subject as well.
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is in a state of panic as he tries to mend rifts caused by supporting a sleazy election win by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Other ayatollahs, based in Qom, will have none of it.

Another round of news, dear friends, as I enjoy the movie “Ivan’s Childhood” while I type this out…
Militancy and the U.S. Drawdown in Afghanistan by Scott Stewart, STRATFOR. Now that American troops are leaving Iraq (and sure to come back soon enough as chaos will ensure once the Baathists and Al-Qaeda remnants feel ‘brave’ enough to go on a nationwide killing spree), attention will be focused on the alleged ‘Good War’ in Afghanistan. The militants in Afghanistan will pose a far different challenge to the organized, but mainly secular, terrorists Iraq has to contend with. They are a wily bunch, and will fight tooth-and-nail until dead or victorious.
Afghanistan and the War Legend by Robert W. Merry, STRATFOR. Straight talk for President Obama regarding how to handle Afghanistan.
Václav Havel by Johan Goldberg, National Review. The legendary Czech playwright, president and Frank Zappa fan speaks out against government incompetence regarding economic matters.
Mass Extinction Threat: Earth on Verge of Huge Reset Button? by Jeremy Hsu, LiveScience.com. My retort to this silliness? Something along the lines of Chris Tucker’s comment to Jackie Chan: “We gonna diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!”
Hamas leader rejects talks with Israel by Diaa Hadid and Karin Laub, Associated Press. A swat to the back of the head for anyone foolish enough to think that Palestinians were ever serious about peace. Shame on you. There were never serious, and would be going against their own raison d’etre if they altered their charter to make peace with Jews.

Interesting tidbits from the past few days:
Moving in on Israel – By Abdullah Bozkurt, Today’s Zamaan. The unmitigated cheek of this propagandist posing as a journalist for Turkey’s paper of record! He huffs and puffs at Israel’s obstinance (!) for not apologizing to Turkey for a provoked attack on their sovereignty resulting in the deaths of 9 urchins. The one country thought to be the friend of the Jewish State has abandoned its longtime ally thanks to their leadership (and a press corps, apparently) wanting to steer closer to an Islamist sphere of influence. Turkey will rue this move, as it will be seen as a strategic blunder of massive proportions. Europe was right not to let these rascals into the EU.

Catching up with articles of interest:
Ambassador John Bolton Predicts Failure in Afghanistan – Breitbart.tv provides the bad news. John Bolton is a very, very credible person regarding diplomatic matters. It is worrying that he predicts a loss if we follow the Obama Strategy in Afghanistan.
Cleric Anwar al-Awlaki puts ‘Everybody Draw Mohammed’ cartoonist Molly Norris on execution hitlist – BY James Gordon Meek and Katie Nelson – I hope the little son-of-a-defiled-dog gets what’s coming to him. I’m not particularly keen on mocking religious figures, but the fact that this terrorist calls for murder of people who he disagrees with gives me enough reason to hope some enterprising evangelist converts his soul or that God damns him to Hell.

Let us face facts. We have no ally in Afghanistan. We have a whore who will sell his rump to the highest bidder, and keep playing the game against both camps. One of the greatest tragedies Afghanistan ever faced happened on September 10, 2001, when Ahmad Shah Masood, an honorable ban who was sure to end up leading the country, was assassinated by Taliban posing as an interview crew. I would have rather seen Abdullah Abdullah win the last election cycle, but the Afghan people now get to taste the fruits, bitter and otherwise, of their decisions.
Ralph Peters lambastes the fool running Afghanistan in an article posted at Real Clear Politics.

Given how grotesquely liberal and crappy the BBC News was when I lived overseas, I wasn’t feeling too keen on giving France24 the time of day. Let’s face it; thanks to toads like Jacques Chirac, a lot of my fellow Americans, expatriates included, considered the French to be, as that lovely sorbiquet goes… ‘Cheese-eating surrender monkeys‘. With the exception of Parisians, who are hopelessly rude, I wish to not only NOT bag on our Gallic friends, but give them kudos for some decent reporting. France24 hosted a round-table of sorts on video shot in North Africa of jihadis training, frolicking like Bambi and Thumper in the woods, et cetera. On the panel was Walid Phares, one of the sanest voices in terms of analyzing terrorism. The last time Europe had news TV worth watching was when Tim Sebastian was hosting HARDTalk. This channel may turn out to be worth watching.
