New Video on Bhutto's Assasination

It appears Benazir Bhutto was shot in the head.
You can see her headscarf and head move just before she falls.

Images contradict Musharraf's official version of how she was killed.



Her son (19), currently a Political Science student at Oxford University, is to take over the party after he graduates. In the meantime, Bhutto's husband will take that responsibility.

Media in the Middle-East

Western media is very bias no doubt, but check this video from MEMRI showing how twisted the Middle-Eastern media is. Especially in Iran and Palestine. The brainwashing starts at very young ages.

Do we need to counter this by putting messages against Islam on cartoons for 3 year olds?

Giuliani Veterans' Co-Chair John Deady Out After Muslim Remark

A co-chairman for Rudy Giuliani’s veterans’ coalition in New Hampshire resigned Saturday after telling a British newspaper that Muslims need to be chased “back to their caves.” Agreed!

The response was swift after the GOP presidential candidate faced questions Friday night about the comments, made by John Deady during a video interview with the Guardian at a Giuliani house party in Manchester, N.H. Deady was named co-chairman of the New Hampshire Veterans for Rudy over the summer.

“Mr. Deady offered his resignation from his volunteer position in the campaign and I accepted his resignation,” Giuliani New Hampshire Chairman Wayne Semprini said in a statement.In the original Guardian interview, Deady said Giuliani is the best candidate to handle “one of the most difficult problems in current history” — “the rise of the Muslims.” Agreed!

He added: “We need to keep the feet to the fire and keep pressing these people until we defeat or chase them back to their caves or, in other words, get rid of them.” Agreed! Later in an interview with the Talking Points Memo Web site, Deady confirmed he made the statements and said he was referring to all Muslims.

“I don’t subscribe to the principle that there are good Muslims and bad Muslims,” Deady said in the article. “They’re all Muslims.” Agreed! Giuliani’s campaign was quick to contain the damage in the final days before the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses and Jan. 8 New Hampshire primary.

*And what the f*** is the problem? John Deady was DEAD ON as far as I'm concerned. He should run for president instead of Guiliani, I'd vote for him just for his comments alone. Peace Be Upon Him!

Reactions to Bhutto’s death

Ron Paul reacts to Bhutto’s death by playing the same tired blame-America tune

In a very, very narrow sense, he has a point: I argued at the time of the emergency rule that we were pushing too hard and too soon on Musharraf, a man attempting to lead a country that is about as riven with difficulty as a country can get. I argued that the course of pushing democracy was too risky at this point, and that the Bush administration ought to take a long look at what democracy delivered on Israel’s borders before pushing for more of the same in Pakistan. Pakistan is peculiarly troubled: All of its heroes, including Bhutto, are deeply flawed; neither Musharraf, Bhutto or Nawaz Sharif trust each other; all of them would benefit in one way or another if one or both of the others weren’t around, yet they all claim to be the only thing that can save Pakistan; and any could also be weakened by the untimely demise of any of the others. Behind them there’s the rising Islamist threat that, sorry John Derbyshire, Patriot Paul does not understand to a depth greater than a nanometer. The problems in Pakistan are not, ultimately, the results of busted American foreign policy. Our short-term policy hasn’t helped, but the environment in which the problems thrive goes back a few decades, or a few centuries. As we ought to have learned in Afghanistan during the 1990s, rubble can make a very great deal of trouble indeed.

But in Ron Paul’s world, all problems are the result of the US taking action. Any action. Anywhere. Against anyone, doing anything. In the case of Pakistan, he says we should cut off aid to our “puppet” in Pakistan and make sure not to march in there with troops. There is, of course, at most a neglible possibility that we’ll send troops into Pakistan to do anything beyond taking on al Qaeda or securing the nukes. India might, but even that’s highly unlikely. And never mind that Pakistan’s history with democracy is sketchy, to say the least. Should we not have attempted to work with Musharraf against al Qaeda, Patriot Paul? Paul also tosses out the canard that we supported Osama bin Laden. Someone really needs to disabuse him of that notion one of these days. Someone should bone him up on the history of al Qaeda as well. It didn’t form because we support Musharraf, as Paul seems to think.Paul doesn’t even offer a pro forma statement of condolences either for Bhutto or Pakistan. As a doctor, he must have had splendid bedside manner.

Russo-Iranian Unholy Alliance

*[UPDATE] - Russia says no arms deal with Iran

(SEE BELOW)

Russia is to supply Iran with new S-300 air defense systems, Iranian Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar said Wednesday, a sign of growing military cooperation between Moscow and Teheran. “The S-300 air defense system will be delivered to Iran on the basis of a contract signed with Russia in the past,” state television quoted Najjar as saying.

Najjar didn’t say when or how many of the S-300 anti-aircraft missile defense systems would be shipped to Iran. Earlier this year, Russia delivered 29 Tor-M1 air defense missile systems to Iran under a $700 million contract signed in December 2005.

Russian officials wouldn’t comment on the Iranian statement, but the Interfax news agency quoted an unidentified source in the Russian military-industrial complex as saying that a contract for the missiles delivery had been signed several years ago and envisaged the delivery of several dozen S-300 missile systems.

S-300 Air Defense System


The S-300 is capable of shooting down aircraft, cruise missiles and ballistic missile warheads at ranges of up to 150 kilometers and at altitudes of up to 27 kilometers. Russian military officials boast that it excels US Patriot missiles. Rumors about the sale of S-300 missile systems to Iran have circulated for a long time, but Russian officials consistently denied it. Military experts said that the S-300 missile systems could inflict a significant damage to the US or Israeli forces if they were to attack Iran.


TOR-M1

The S-300 is much more powerful and versatile weapon than the Tor-M1 missile systems supplied earlier which were capable of hitting aerial targets flying at up to 6,000 meters.


*The objective of a TMD system is to defend against missile attacks. Such a system might be configured to protect an area as small as a city or port, or as large as several thousand square kilometers. It could provide protection for civilian populations as well as military forces. Providing effective TMD would require a seamless network of early warning sensors, command posts, fire-control radars, and anti-missile missiles, or Integrated Air Defense System (IADS).
Attention Israel and all American operating bases in the area.

Although defensive in nature, the deployment of a TMD system can catalyze threats to international peace and security by upsetting a regional balance of military forces, undercutting other states' deterrent capabilities, or by protecting forces that can be used for offensive purposes. TMD deployment may therefore spur an unstable offense-defense arms race for relative advantage, undermine the prospects for arms control, and exacerbate political conflicts between rival states.

Meanwhile, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Wednesday that the delivery of nuclear fuel to Iran’s Bushehr reactor makes it unnecessary for Iran to continue to enrich uranium.“We believe that Iran has no economic need to proceed with its program of uranium enrichment,” Lavrov told the Vremya Novostei newspaper.

“We are trying to persuade the Iranians that freezing the program is to their advantage as it would immediately lead to talks with all countries of the ’six’, including the United States,” he added. “Iran’s agreement to this proposal is in everyone’s interest,” Lavrov stated. Such talks, he said, would aim to once and for all remove suspicions that Iran’s nuclear program was anything other than peaceful.

Lavrov stressed that all activities at the Bushehr reactor would remain under international supervision. “Our Iranian partners know that should there be the slightest deviation [from agreements], we will freeze our cooperation,” he said. Lavrov’s statements mirrored those made last week by US President George W. Bush, who said that he supported the Russian fuel shipments, stating that they proved that Teheran had no need to enrich uranium.

“If the Russians are willing to do that, which I support, then the Iranians do not need to learn how to enrich. If the Iranians accept that uranium for a civilian nuclear power plant, then there’s no need for them to learn how to enrich,” Bush said.

Meanwhile, senior Israeli diplomatic officials said last week that Moscow had no interest in seeing Iran gain an independent nuclear capability. “The Russians are not naive,” one of the officials said, adding that Moscow wants to keep neighboring Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon. “Our difference is over tactics, not goals,” the official said.

He said this difference in tactics would become clear in January, when the UN is expected to adopt a third Security Council resolution sanctioning Iran for its ongoing uranium enrichment.According to the official, the Russians will back about half of the items in the basket - the less serious ones - and not back others. The Chinese, the official said, are likely to back even fewer sanctions than the Russians.

Herb Keinon and AP contributed to this report.

[UPDATE]Dec. 28, 2007

MOSCOW, Dec. 28 (UPI) -- The Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation denied allegations of an arms deal with Iran regarding air defense systems.

The statement said Russia isn't discussing the delivery of the S-300 interceptor missile system with Iran contrary to media reports, RIA Novosti said Friday.

"The issue of the delivery of S-300 air defense missile systems to Iran, raised by the media, is not a subject of current negotiations and has not been discussed with the Iranians," the statement read.

The United States issued demands to Russia to cease weapons deals with countries Washington views with mistrust.Russian President Vladimir Putin said in October, however, that Russia wouldn't entertain arms restrictions "based on unilateral and politicized assessments".

Russia and Iran negotiated the sale of the 29 Tor-M1 missile defense system in January.

Milosevic - 33 years


Thank you Al Salibiyya - Please visit his blog linked below for further information.

(Hat Tip: Al Salibiyya)

Citing testimony from survivors of snipers' bullets and makeshift missiles, the UN Yugoslav war crimes tribunal convicted General Dragomir Milosevic of murder, inhumane acts and waging a campaign of terror for orchestrating the last 15 months of the 1992 to 1995 assault on the Bosnian capital.

"There was no safe place in Sarajevo," said the presiding judge, Patrick Robinson, reading from the judgment. "One could be killed and injured anywhere and any time."

Milosevic, 65, sat silently listening to a summary of the lengthy judgment, then stood stoically as Robinson pronounced sentence. He had denied all charges, arguing that the city was a battleground and his troops were carrying out legitimate military operations.

The horror of the siege was played out in front of a global audience as television images broadcast worldwide showed shells slamming into apartment buildings and terrified shoppers huddling for cover behind slow-moving UN armored cars.

International Herald Tribune


Disturbingly, the 'global audience' was mislead by the worldwide media. The Serbs, under Milosevic's command, were responding to the threat of radical Islam.


Serbs have been subjected to centuries of Islamic brutality and oppression. They recognized what we have yet to understand. Radical Muslims will resort to any means necessary to convert, subdue, or slaughter non-Muslims. They are willing to die to further Islamic domination. The only way to destroy such a threat is to meet it head on with equal or greater force. Milosevic understood that.


The History of Jihad states it well:


This was so, as in no time in Human history had any invader been so inhuman, like the Muslims. But once the Byzantine Christians had gauged their adversary as sub-human schizophrenic savages that they were, the Christians returned every barbarity with equally ferocity. The same was true for the Spanish Christians (Visigoths) who were first overrun by the Moors in 711. After the Muslim subterfuge they were victims of in the battle of Guadelete in Southern Spain, and the grisly sight of the head of their King Roederic (Rodrigo) being stuck on a spear and paraded before the Christian soldiers to break their spirit, the Spanish too learnt the kind of beastly enemy they faced in the Muslims. And they returned the favour to the Muslims in equal measure during the Reconquista. In fact the Reconquista, the Inquisition, and the Crusades all were a result of this unnervingly brutal experience of the Europeans at the hands of the beastly Jihadis.

Those who did not learn this lesson were to be extinct as were the Christians of North Arabia, Sinai, Egypt, Syria, Palestine, Anatolia (Turkey), North Africa, Nubia, (North Sudan), as also the Zoroastrians of Iran, Baluchistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, the Buddhists of Afghanstan, Chinese Turkestan (Xinkiang), Kazakastan, the Hindus of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Kashmir, the nature and idol worshipping Arabs of Saudi Arabia, and many other unnamed people who are extinct today and whose descendants survive as robots trapped in the mental prison of Islam.

The Serbs under Milosevic, only tried to reclaim what was historically originally theirs in the only way possible with the Muslim - with that of blood and death. The Muslims understand no other language. If humanity and our civilization are to be emancipated from the Muslim threat, then the only way out is to match and outmatch the Muslims at their gameplan, in their methods of war, in their cruelty, their pervasiveness, persistence, foresight, deception, subterfuge, hate for the adversary and all other departments of the war.

"Allah" - A False God

Jihad on the west- The Truth exposed
We've been here before. Just watch the liveleak.

“Allah” A False God"


IF YOU CALL YOURSELF MODERATE MUSLIM THEN COME OUT AND YELL IN OUTRAGE AGAINST TERRORIST! OTHERWISE YOU ARE ANOTHER TERRORIST.

The main problem is that Islam as a religion is and has been incompatible with civilization period.

The New Testament tells how the Christians have to regard Islam. The apostle John wrote in his first letter, "Every spirit which does not acknowledge that Jesus has come in the flesh... is the spirit of the antichrist..." (1 John 2:18-23; 4:1-6).

"We must therefore confess with all humility that the spirit in Islam is the spirit of the antichrist. Muhammad had heard much about Jesus, but, in spite of all, he denied the crucified Son of God."

Mahmoud Ahmedinejad performs the Haj Ritual

A familiar face, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, performs the Haj ritual of stoning the Devil. Several thousand pilgrims have been trampled to death at this event in just the last 20 years (although the Devil remains surprisingly resilient).


What sort of cult ritual is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad performing?
All I got left to do now is to laugh at this idiot. What is that? Oh, it's the ritual where they stone the devil. Then I'd suggest he Hajes himself.

Latest Offerings from the Religion of Peace:

12/24/2007 (Yala, Thailand) - Two Buddhists are murdered in a drive-by attack by Islamic radicals.
12/24/2007 (Yala, Thailand) - A 58-year-old villager is shot to death by militant Muslims. 12/23/2007 (Grozny, Chechnya) - Mujahideen gunmen kill a police officer.
12/23/2007 (Mahmudiya, Iraq) - An al-Qaeda car bomb kills six Sunnis.
12/23/2007 (Kurrum, Pakistan) - Sunni-Shia sectarian violence leaves three dead.
12/23/2007 (Mingora, Pakistan) - Nine people are murdered by a suicide car bomber.

Islam is just a cult for idiots. It never seizes to amaze me its ridiculeness. Though Islam’s continuous acts of terror do not amaze me.

Hiding Behind Burkas and Using Children as Shields?


This NATO video only proves how dirty these Talibanners are.
What happened, can't hide inside caves anymore?

This video is a month old on Liveleak, but I just thought I'd show how dirty these so-called Jihad warriors fight. Geneva convention my ..... you know what.

And meanwhile the liberal media still reports on how bad GITMO Resort and Spa treats these prisoners of war. Not to mention the fatal mistake, while in a tribunal last year, DOD pressured, released a "poor" guy from GITMO who was from Pakistan because he was semi-physically disabled. A couple of months later, soldiers wearing uniforms found him in Afghanistan with an M16 shooting at real soldiers who followed the leftist rules imposed by the Geneva convention.


Iran Entering Nicaragua - Does Anybody Care?

The article “Iran Making Push into Nicaragua” by Todd Bensman published by the San Antonio Express-News obviously caught my attention.

Just in case you didn't know the guy to the right of Mahmoud is Ortega. Remember him?

Why did the article caught my attention?
With numerous Iranian-supported Hezbollah training camps, especially in Paraguay, recruiting centers throughout Latin America, the strong support that Chavez and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad give each other, the oil deals between Castro and China, and let’s just add Saudi Arabia to the picture too, Latin America is increasingly becoming more active and determined in its support for not only the largest Lebanese terrorist organization, Hezbollah, but worse yet, Iran.

Latin America’s support to Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations (let’s not forget Bin Laden’s numerous trips to Paraguay and neighboring countries in the early 90s) is nothing new; however, its willingness to support state-funded terrorist organizations is definitely on the rise.

Otrgega, Cuba, China, "El Che". Sound familiar?

The picture below shows a Latin American Yahoo group or “groupos” in Spanish and it’s got near a million members, predominately young high school and university students (typical). The group’s name is “Hezbollah” and it just shows how accepted the terrorist organization is in Latin America. In fact, Hezbollah is not viewed or categorized as a terrorist organization.

This whole Latin American picture kind of reminds me of the good old Soviet days with Red China and its support to “Sendero Luminoso” or the Shining Path guerrilla group from Peru, the Soviet Union’s love relationship with Cuba, its proliferation of Chile with the Allende administration, Paraguay, Colombia (The FARC), Nicaragua and the “Sandinistas” with the infamous Ortega… It’s as if the world politik chess game did not change, but what changed are the players and how these players play. Well… let’s just say that the rules have also changed. Some don’t get deterred and are willing to do what it takes at any cost.

Oh, I miss you Détente (razryadka)


Jihad Watch expresses its opinion about the article with…

"And an Iranian foothold gives rise to numerous concerns, including weapons smuggling, the presence of more Hezbollah fronts, as in Venezuela, and Iran's other possible plans, recalling the 1994 bombing in Argentina in which high-level Iranian officials have been implicated. Not to mention the possibility of Iran's using Nicaragua as a base from which to attack the U.S. and other targets in the Western Hemisphere in the event of military intervention against its nuclear program."

Thank you Jihad Watch!


Iranian supported Hezbollah Bombing in Buenos Aires, 1992


A little thing worries me about the article by Todd Bensman

"What worries state department officials, former national security officials and counterterrorism researchers is that, if attacked, Iran could stage strikes on American or allied interests from Nicaragua, deploying the Iranian terrorist group Hezbollah and Revolutionary Guard operatives already in Latin America. Bellicose threats by Iran's clerical leadership to hit American interests worldwide if attacked, by design or not, heighten the anxiety.

The bottom line is if there is a confrontation with Iran, and Iran gets bombed, I have absolutely no doubt that Iran is going to lash out globally," said John R. Schindler, a veteran former counterintelligence officer and analyst for the National Security Agency.

The Iranians have that ability, particularly from South America. Hezbollah has fronts all over Latin America. That is not new. But it's certainly something we're starting to care about now."
NOT TRUE! Nobody cares.


Anyways, you can view Jihad Watch’s view on the whole article by Todd Bensman here.

France Could Boost Troops in Afghanistan

By Sayed Salahuddin Reuters
Published: December 22, 2007

KABUL: French President Nicolas Sarkozy said France could boost its presence in Afghanistan to help the Afghan army and police in a surprise visit to give French troops his Christmas greetings.

UPDATE: FRANCE WILL NOT BOOST TROOPS. IT WAS ALL FRENCH PROPAGANDA. THE FRENCH PEOPLE DID DEBATE THE ISSUE THOUGH...SITTING DOWN AT THE CAFES AND BISTROS OF MONMATRE.





"There is a war going on here, a war against terrorism, against fanaticism that we cannot and will not lose," he told reporters who accompanied him.

He said the French troops, currently 1,900, would help the Afghan army, police, administration and judiciary. Sarkozy said a decision on troop numbers was due in the next few weeks.



French troops

Taliban leader Mullah Omar on Tuesday called on foreign forces to withdraw from Afghanistan. Diplomats and the local military have called for a new strategy to fight the rebels.

"What is certain is that we have not wanted to give the signal of departure, that would have been a despicable signal at a time when one sees the ravages inflicted by terrorism in the world," Sarkozy said.

Britain, which has about 7,800 troops operating in Afghanistan, part of a 40,000-strong NATO stabilisation force, is expected to increase that number over time as it draws down in Iraq, but no formal announcement has been made.


Brit troops

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has unveiled what he called a new framework on Afghanistan, with plans to provide assistance of about 450 million pounds ($900 million) between 2009 and 2012 and to bolster training of the armed forces.

New Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd also visited Afghanistan on Saturday for meeting Australian forces who like the French troops serve under NATO's command and for holding talks with President Hamid Karzai.



NATO Allied Forces

Rudd, who was elected on November 24, spoke of his country's continued support for Afghanistan and pledged an additional $110 million for the coming two years for the central Asian nation.

Earlier in the day, Sarkozy held talks with Karzai and the two leaders said Afghanistan's poor security and opium production were its major challenges, the Afghan presidential palace said in a statement.

It is Sarkozy's first trip to Afghanistan since he became president in May and coincides with an increase in violence in the country over the past two years, the bloodiest period since the Taliban's overthrow.

Sarkozy said France "had paid the price in blood" for helping consolidate democracy in Afghanistan as 13 French soldiers have died.

France has stationed troops in Afghanistan since late 2001, when U.S.-led forces drove the Taliban government from power.



ISAF

French forces are mostly stationed in the relatively secure capital Kabul and France has been repeatedly urged by NATO members to dispatch its forces to eastern and southern areas where Taliban militants are most active.

More than 330 foreign troops, including some French and several Australian soldiers, have been killed in the battle against the Taliban-led insurgency in the past two years in Afghanistan.

The French presidential plane was accompanied by two Mirage fighter jets and the visit had been kept secret until the last moment out of security concerns. Sarkozy, who met the Pope in Vatican City on Thursday, is expected back in Paris on Saturday.

A Soldier's Silent Night

A Different Christmas Poem

The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.

Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.



My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.

The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the
sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.

My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.

A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.

"What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
"Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!"

For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..
To the window that danced with a warm fire's light
Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right,
I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night."



"It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me.
My Gramps died at ' Pearl on a day in December,"
Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers."

My dad stood his watch in the jungles of ' Nam ',
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
I've not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile.



Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue... an American flag.
I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home.



I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life with my sister and brother..

Who stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall."
"So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."

"But isn't there something I can do, at the least,
"Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you've done,
For being away from your wife and your son."

Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
"Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.

For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us."

You must watch this youtube...It's beautiful.





Thank You and Merry Christmas!!

Whitewash - The Racist History the Democratic Party Wants You to Forget

I just finished reading "Whitewash - The racist history the Democratic Party wants you to forget." by Bruce Bartlett. It is quite interesting and it re-affirms how the Democratic Party loves to perpetuate ignorance to further their socialist agenda...How do they do it? Welfare perhaps?

This post is long, but it is worth it. Here are some quotes from Bartlett's piece:

"I hold that the present state of civilization, where two races of different origin, and distinguished by color, and other physical differences, as well as intellectual, are brought together, the relation now existing in the slaveholding states between the two, is, instead of an evil, a good--a positive good."

--Sen. John C. Calhoun (D., S.C.), 1837
Vice President, 1825-32
His statue stands in the U.S. Capitol.

"If blacks were given the right to vote, that would "place every splay-footed, bandy-shanked, hump-backed, thick-lipped, flat-nosed, woolly-headed, ebon-colored Negro in the country upon an equality with the poor white man."

--Rep. Andrew Johnson, (D., Tenn.), 1844
President, 1865-69

"Resolved, That the Democratic Party will resist all attempts at renewing, in Congress or out of it, the agitation of the slavery question, under whatever shape or color the attempt may be made."

--Platform of the Democratic Party, 1852

Blacks are "a subordinate and inferior class of beings who had been subjugated by the dominant race."

--Chief Justice Roger Taney, Dred Scott v. Sandford, 1856
Appointed Attorney General by Andrew Jackson in 1831
Appointed Secretary of the Treasury by Andrew Jackson in 1833
Appointed to the Supreme Court by Andrew Jackson in 1836


"Resolved, That claiming fellowship with, and desiring the co-operation of all who regard the preservation of the Union under the Constitution as the paramount issue--and repudiating all sectional parties and platforms concerning domestic slavery, which seek to embroil the States and incite to treason and armed resistance to law in the Territories; and whose avowed purposes, if consummated, must end in civil war and disunion, the American Democracy recognize and adopt the principles contained in the organic laws establishing the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska as embodying the only sound and safe solution of the 'slavery question' upon which the great national idea of the people of this whole country can repose in its determined conservatism of the Union--NON-INTERFERENCE BY CONGRESS WITH SLAVERY IN STATE AND TERRITORY, OR IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA" (emphasis in original).

--Platform of the Democratic Party, 1856

"I hold that a Negro is not and never ought to be a citizen of the United States. I hold that this government was made on the white basis; made by the white men, for the benefit of white men and their posterity forever, and should be administered by white men and none others."

--Sen. Stephen A. Douglas (D., Ill.), 1858
Presidential nominee of the Democratic Party, 1860


"Resolved, That the enactments of the State Legislatures to defeat the faithful execution of the Fugitive Slave Law, are hostile in character, subversive of the Constitution, and revolutionary in their effect."

--Platform of the Democratic Party, 1860

"The Almighty has fixed the distinction of the races; the Almighty has made the black man inferior, and, sir, by no legislation, by no military power, can you wipe out this distinction."

--Rep. Fernando Wood (D., N.Y.), 1865
Mayor of New York City, 1855-58, 1860-62

"My fellow citizens, I have said that the contest before us was one for the restoration of our government; it is also one for the restoration of our race. It is to prevent the people of our race from being exiled from their homes--exiled from the government which they formed and created for themselves and for their children, and to prevent them from being driven out of the country or trodden under foot by an inferior and barbarous race."

--Francis P. Blair Jr., accepting the Democratic nomination for Vice President, 1868
Democratic Senator from Missouri, 1869-72
His statue stands in the U.S. Capitol.

"Instead of restoring the Union, it [the Republican Party] has, so far as in its power, dissolved it, and subjected ten states, in time of profound peace, to military despotism and Negro supremacy."

--Platform of the Democratic Party, 1868

"While the tendency of the white race is upward, the tendency of the colored race is downward."

--Sen. Thomas Hendricks (D., Ind.), 1869
Democratic nominee for Vice President, 1876
Vice President, 1885

"We, the delegates of the Democratic party of the United States . . . demand such modification of the treaty with the Chinese Empire, or such legislation within constitutional limitations, as shall prevent further importation or immigration of the Mongolian race."

--Platform of the Democratic Party, 1876

"No more Chinese immigration, except for travel, education, and foreign commerce, and that even carefully guarded."

--Platform of the Democratic Party, 1880

"American civilization demands that against the immigration or importation of Mongolians to these shores our gates be closed."

--Platform of the Democratic Party, 1884

"We favor the continuance and strict enforcement of the Chinese exclusion law, and its application to the same classes of all Asiatic races."

--Platform of the Democratic Party, 1900

"The repeal of the fifteenth amendment, one of the greatest blunders and therefore one of the greatest crimes in political history, is a consummation to be devoutly wished for."

--Rep. John Sharpe Williams (D., Miss.), 1903
House Minority Leader, 1903-08


"Republicanism means Negro equality, while the Democratic Party means that the white man is supreme. That is why we Southerners are all Democrats."

--Sen. Ben Tillman (D., S.C.), 1906
Chairman, Committee on Naval Affairs, 1913-19


"We are opposed to the admission of Asiatic immigrants who can not be amalgamated with our population, or whose presence among us would raise a race issue and involve us in diplomatic controversies with Oriental powers."

--Platform of the Democratic Party, 1908

"I am opposed to the practice of having colored policemen in the District [of Columbia]. It is a source of danger by constantly engendering racial friction, and is offensive to thousands of Southern white people who make their homes here."

--Sen. Hoke Smith (D., Ga.), 1912
Appointed Secretary of the Interior by Grover Cleveland in 1893

"The South is serious with regard to its attitude to the Negro in politics. The South understands this subject, and its policy is unalterable and uncompromising. We desire no concessions. We seek no sops. We grasp no shadows on this subject. We take no risks. We abhor a Northern policy of catering to the Negro in politics just as we abhor a Northern policy of social equality."

"The Negro as a race, in all the ages of the world, has never shown sustained power of self-development. He is not endowed with the creative faculty. . . . He has never created for himself any civilization. . . . He has never had any civilization except that which has been inculcated by a superior race. And it is a lamentable fact that his civilization lasts only so long as he is in the hands of the white man who inculcates it. When left to himself he has universally gone back to the barbarism of the jungle."

--Sen. James Vardaman (D., Miss.), 1914
Chairman, Committee on Natural Resources, 1913-19

Appointed to the Supreme Court by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1941
Appointed Secretary of State by Harry S. Truman in 1945


"Slavery among the whites was an improvement over independence in Africa. The very progress that the blacks have made, when--and only when--brought into contact with the whites, ought to be a sufficient argument in support of white supremacy--it ought to be sufficient to convince even the blacks themselves."

--William Jennings Bryan, 1923
Presidential nominee of the Democratic Party, 1896, 1900 and 1908
Appointed Secretary of State by Woodrow Wilson in 1913

"Anyone who has traveled to the Far East knows that the mingling of Asiatic blood with European or American blood produces, in nine cases out of ten, the most unfortunate results. . . . The argument works both ways. I know a great many cultivated, highly educated and delightful Japanese. They have all told me that they would feel the same repugnance and objection to have thousands of Americans settle in Japan and intermarry with the Japanese as I would feel in having large numbers of Japanese coming over here and intermarry with the American population. In this question, then, of Japanese exclusion from the United States it is necessary only to advance the true reason--the undesirability of mixing the blood of the two peoples. . . . The Japanese people and the American people are both opposed to intermarriage of the two races--there can be no quarrel there."

--Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1925
President, 1933-45


"This passport which you have given me is a symbol to me of the passport which you have given me before. I do not feel that it would be out of place to state to you here on this occasion that I know that without the support of the members of this organization I would not have been called, even by my enemies, the 'Junior Senator from Alabama.' "

--Sen. Claude Pepper (D., Fla.), 1938
Spoken while engaged in a six-hour speech against the antilynching bill


"I am a former Kleagle [recruiter] of the Ku Klux Klan in Raleigh County. . . . The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia. It is necessary that the order be promoted immediately and in every state in the union."

His portrait stands in the U.S. Capitol.

President Truman's civil rights program "is a farce and a sham--an effort to set up a police state in the guise of liberty. I am opposed to that program. I have voted against the so-called poll tax repeal bill. . .. I have voted against the so-called anti-lynching bill."

"There is no warrant for the curious notion that Christianity favors the involuntary commingling of the races in social institutions. Although He knew both Jews and Samaritans and the relations existing between them, Christ did not advocate that courts or legislative bodies should compel them to mix socially against their will."

--Sen. Sam Ervin (D., N.C.), 1955
Chairman, Committee on Government Operations, 1971-75

"The decline and fall of the Roman empire came after years of intermarriage with other races. Spain was toppled as a world power as a result of the amalgamation of the races. . . . Certainly history shows that nations composed of a mongrel race lose their strength and become weak, lazy and indifferent."

--Herman E. Talmadge, 1955
Democratic Senator from Georgia, 1957-81
Chairman, Committee on Agriculture, 1971-81

"These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again."

--Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (D., Texas), 1957

"I have never seen very many white people who felt they were being imposed upon or being subjected to any second-class citizenship if they were directed to a waiting room or to any other public facility to wait or to eat with other white people. Only the Negroes, of all the races which are in this land, publicly proclaim they are being mistreated, imposed upon, and declared second-class citizens because they must go to public facilities with members of their own race."

--Sen. Richard B. Russell Jr. (D., Ga.), 1961
The Russell Senate Office Building is named for him.

"I did not lie awake at night worrying about the problems of Negroes."

"I'm not going to use the federal government's authority deliberately to circumvent the natural inclination of people to live in ethnically homogeneous neighborhoods. . . . I have nothing against a community that's made up of people who are Polish or Czechoslovakian or French-Canadian or blacks who are trying to maintain the ethnic purity of their neighborhoods."

"The Confederate Memorial has had a special place in my life for many years. . . . There were many, many times that I found myself drawn to this deeply inspiring memorial, to contemplate the sacrifices of others, several of whom were my ancestors, whose enormous suffering and collective gallantry are to this day still misunderstood by most Americans."

"It has of late become the custom of the men of the South to speak with entire candor of the settled and deliberate policy of suppressing the negro vote. They have been forced to choose between a policy of manifest injustice toward the blacks and the horrors of negro rule. They chose to disfranchise the negroes. That was manifestly the lesser of two evils. . . . The Republican Party committed a great public crime when it gave the right of suffrage to the blacks. . . . So long as the Fifteenth Amendment stands, the menace of the rule of the blacks will impend, and the safeguards against it must be maintained."

--Editorial, "The Political Future of the South," New York Times, May 10, 1900)

SO.....
My questions are why do almost 90% of African-Americans vote Democrat? Why do conservative African-American of great influence, such as Condoleezza Rice, Collin Powell, Clearance Thomas are hardly acknowledge by the African-American community?

Iraq Qaeda group confirms top figure killed

Iraq Qaeda group confirms top figure killed: Web
Sat Dec 22, 2007 3:23pm EST

DUBAI (Reuters) - An al Qaeda-linked group in Iraq has confirmed the death of Abu Maysara, a top operative who the U.S. military said was killed in a clash last month, according to a recording posted on the Web on Saturday.

Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, leader of the Islamic State in Iraq, hailed Maysara as "a martyr who was a scholar and a mujahid (holy war fighter)", on the audio tape posted on Islamist Web sites.

The U.S. military said earlier in December that Maysara, a Syrian, was among nine senior al Qaeda members killed in November. It described him as an adviser to Baghdadi, also known as Abu Ayyub al-Masri, and his slain predecessor Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Baghdadi called on insurgents to keep fighting during the current Eid al-Adha feast, when Muslims sacrifice animals.

"May God accept your sacrifice, and may they be the apostates of the Awakening Councils, who are servants of the Crusaders," Baghdadi said, referring to U.S.-backed neighborhood patrols who fight insurgents.

An increase in U.S. troops, more efficient Iraqi security forces and neighborhood patrols organized by mainly Sunni Arab tribes have been credited for a decline in violence and a fall in civilian and U.S. military casualties in the past two months.

The tape's authenticity could not be verified but was posted on a main Islamist Web site often used by insurgent groups and the speaker sounded like earlier recordings of Baghdadi.

While the Iraq wing of al Qaeda remains at the forefront of many groups fighting U.S. forces and the Shi'ite-led government supported by Washington, its fighters have faced growing opposition in the Sunni areas of Iraq where they operate.

Sex Crimes and Jihad

FrontPage Magazine interview between Jamie Glazov and Jeffrey Denning of Liberty Protective Solutions, LLC.

FP: The Western media isn’t being very helpful, to say the least, in helping the West fight our enemy in this terror war. There is reluctance in the mainstream media to label the enemy – and to crystallize the evil of the enemy. How dangerous is this? If our media were to re-think and re-shape how they present terrorism, how in your view should it do this?

Denning: The terrorists use the media as their main source for spreading fear. In the mid-80s Benjamin Netanyahu accurately stated that “manipulation of public opinion is, in fact, central to the terrorist strategy.” He went on to say that because of this, their access to the media is indispensable.

You’ll recall that back then several hostage takers, particularly in the Middle East , made their demands and communiqués live over the news media channels. The terrorists were able to give their side of the story. They appeared human—that’s a key part.

In some ways, when the terrorists were able to tell about all the ‘atrocities’ and ‘injustices’ they faced, although they were holding several hostages at gunpoint and under the threat of death by homemade explosives, it made some people (liberals) actually sympathize with their so-called plight. Oh, the irony.

Women Killers are just like Male Terrorists

I am a woman and I have a right to choose. Sure I do, I can choose to kill somebody or not. Just like a terrorist before blowing himself up, he can choose not to do so.

When will the brainwashing stop and people start to see the truth and think for themselves?

PRO-CHOICE ARGUMENT: "What about a woman who is pregnant due to rape of incest?

PRO-LIFE ANSWERS:

A.Pregnancy due to rape is extremely rare, and with proper treatment can be prevented.

B.Rape is never the fault of a child; the guilty party, not an innocent party, should be punished.

C.The violence of abortion parallels the violence of rape.

D.Abortion does not bring healing to a rape victim.E.A child is a child reguardless of the circumstances of his conception.

F.What about already-born people who are "products of rape"?

G. All that is true of children conceived in rape is true of those conceived in incest.

This is a picture depicting a partial birth abortion. Other methods include a chemical solution which burns the baby alive. Sonograms made it possible for us to see how the baby screams while being burnt alive inside a woman’s womb, hence “The Silent Scream”


A woman's womb is supposedly the safest place to be before entering this world. Not for all though.

The War On Terror Takes An Ugly Turn

*from this morning:

This morning, from a cave somewhere in Pakistan , Taliban Minister of Migration, Mohammed Ahmed, warned the United States that if military action against Iraq continues, Taliban authorities will cut off America 's supply of convenience store managers.

And if this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be next, followed by Dell customer service reps, Motel 6 managers and liquor store cashiers.

*It's getting ugly people!

If this one gets banned, like the one titled "Violent Oppression of Women in Islam" just go to Jewtube




WARNING! This video does contain some very graphic images. The intent is not to shock or offend, but to illustrate the true nature of radical Islam. Censoring such accurate, newsworthy images in a democratic society is to embolden and empower the brutality depicted here.

Thank You.

I received this nice email from one of the soldiers I send packages to. He basically told me that I should not bother sending him books that he doesn't read, movies that he can easily pirated ones get for $3 dollars, and all the other things I put into the box. I thought he might want to read "Charlie Wilson's War" (recommended to me by a former soldier) and other books I put in there. I also thought that he would like to watch the movies I bought and the long letter I wrote to him, but I was obviously wrong. I tried my best to find out what they really want. I also thought that what mattered was the effort and care one puts behind sending a stranger in Iraq a package.

My friend I thank you so much for you service, but I will take this opportunity to also thank our women who served and are currently serving, with this YouTube.

Thank you women for your service and all your hard work.




FTR, I have asked numerous times U.S. Soldiers Angels to send me a woman soldier to adopt and I never got a reply.

Good night!

Former ACLU President Arrested for Child Pornography

I SAY GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY BY THE LAW
(I bet my life on it)

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is involved. Bill O’Reilly watching rival press organizations closely to see how they report it. The videos are reported to be as bad as it gets on this side of "snuff" videos. This case is very disturbing.

Tied little girls to chairs and rape them...GUILTY



EVEN IF HE IS PROVEN INNOCENT, HE IS STILL GUILTY

Merry Christmas Ali Baba

Sorry no real time to post anything today.
Unlike most DOS employees I actually do work...


Yes, just in case you didn't know it the State Department is one of the largest welfare institutions in the country. Just next door to me, one of our important "directors" is playing scrabble. He is working so hard and that's why he closes his door and we have to obey the "open door" policy...whatever...I've had it today with these morons.


Allahu Akbar to you too! I love this commercial...lol



I don't know how to use any type of weapon, but I'd learn very fast if I ever came across this girl...

A friend of mine (a Veteran) sent me a link to a troop hater blog and is asking for action....I read this blog he referred me to and it's vile trash berating our troops. This is the worse I've seen to date. Please go to the link by clicking on the picture below, read the post titled "On Supporting Our Troops Without Tokenism" by Emily Spence.

Here is a sample of what this so-called "Patriot" wrote:

..."Meanwhile, today's military adventurers, in the end, are two sorts: killers hired directly by our armed service divisions and negotiated contract killers (i.e., Blackwater mercenaries) of which both are trained to, unquestioningly, do our government's dirty work. Yet, it is entirely each assailant's choice to go along with an illusion of supporting freedom by viciously tackling whatever other countries our policy makers request. As mentioned before, no one is forcing this option."

Does this ignorant specimen even deserve to be here in the United States when she is bashing and protesting against the people who gave her the right to even publish this trash?

Here is another paragraph of her article...

"If our military were not involved in their deeply shameful actions, I might feel differently. In any case, they should be building up the world rather than getting into an ever deepening quagmire over who (US and allies, Russia and allies, China and allies, Iran and allies, etc.) has the biggest access to global resources, power and control. Besides, how much better would be good will, cooperation and mutual support to obtain the provisions that governments wants from other countries rather than savagely going in with a lethal arsenal as a means to steal them by force?"

She also says that all troops are brainwashed. I think her brain needs some washing.

This picture is for you Emily...

THIS GOES TO MY BROTHER. GET OUT OF ALGERIA!

FER GET OUT OF THERE!

Why are we (women) so much more intelligent than men?


Have you ever wondered how a woman's brain works?
Well....it's finally explained here in one, easy-to-understand illustration.

Every one of those little blue balls is a thought about something that needs to be done, a decision or a problem that needs to be solved.

A man has only 2 balls and they take up all his thoughts. And they are still BLUE ... hahaha

Christian Bale - Golden Globe Awards



Some movies are meant to explode because of their exceptional cast. But some others are simply a boom because of the story plot or the director. Taking the example of “Empire of the Sun” (1987). Having successfully directed “E.T.: the Extra-Terrestrial” and “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” in 1982 and 1984 consecutively, Steven Spielberg drew attention more than any other directors. His movie had always been awaited. Thus, when “Empire of the Sun” was released, every movie fan was just pleased. The visually generated film had absorbed praise and even collected as many as 6 Oscar nominations. Sadly, none of the nominations were pointed at the young lead actor, who was actually the 'spirit' of the movie, at least not yet. The newborn actor was indeed promising and was none other than Christian Bale.




[UPDATE]
He wasn't nominated.
But, given that it is a movie ("Rescue Dawn") based on a true story about a Vietnam soldier who survives being captured and tortured, it doesn't surprise me at all. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association will never allow a pro-Vietnam movie to get nominated much less get an award.
