When is a space program something more?

Peter Brooks on Iran's budding space program: "Theoretically, if you can launch a ballistic missile that can place a satellite into earth orbit, you have the scientific wherewithal to hit a target anywhere on Earth with a warhead, including a weapon of mass destruction."

Iran's defence ministry plays a prominent role in the putative civilian space effort. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which manages Iran's Shahab medium-range ballistic missile programme, is also involved. [snip]

One piece of intelligence showed that after 2003 Iran was involved in studies of multipoint detonation systems, the precise timing capability of which is critical for triggering a nuclear detonation.

Tehran continues to put more centrifuges online at its Natanz uranium enrichment facility, which could lead to the production of low-enriched uranium for reactor fuel or highly enriched uranium for weapons. [snip]

Tehran's budding space work could lead to the development of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of reaching all of Europe and the United States with a significant payload such as a nuclear weapon.

Iran would be the first Muslim state with a space-launch capability. Neighbours would be envious as Tehran propels itself toward leadership of the Middle East and the Islamic world.

It is also useful to be able to launch your own communications or scientific satellites, rather than having to relying on others to launch them for you. Russia launched Iran's only other satellite into orbit back in October 2005.

Iran would surely argue that it needs to be self-reliant for space launches, just like it (self-servingly) insists it needs to be self-sufficient in enriching uranium to produce fuel for its Bushehr nuclear reactor, despite Russian assistance. (continue reading)

Mr. Brooks article also ran in Janes defense magazine.

Senate committee adds amnesty for 1.2 million illegal agriculture workers to Iraq spending bill

Senate committee adds amnesty for 1.2 million illegal agriculture workers to Iraq spending bill -- PHONE NOW , from NUMBERS USA:

On a 17-12 vote this afternoon, the Senate Appropriations Committee added Sen. Feinstein's ag amnesty to the Iraq supplemental spending bill.

This bill could come up for a vote before the full Senate tomorrow.

Every phone of every Senator should be ringing off the hook as soon as I click SEND on this alert.

Please pick up your phone the minute you read this and call:
202-224-3121

Call the offices of both of your state's U.S. Senators and tell them:

The Senate Appropriations Committee on Thursday afternoon committed an outrageous act of disrespect for our men and women in uniform and to the citizens of this country by attaching an illegal-alien amnesty to the Iraq spending bill.

Urge the Senator to vote and work to strip the amnesty from the Iraq spending bill on the floor.

You - or the Senator - may already oppose this spending bill. But if the Senator is inclined to vote YES on the Iraq bill, ask the Senator to definitely vote NO and send it back to committee if the amnesty is NOT stripped.

There is no need for an amnesty to provide growers with workers. There already is an H-2A foreign ag worker program that provides growers with an unlimited number of temporary workers if the growers agree to pay a decent wage and ensure that they go home at the end of the season. Feinstein is just trying to protect the abysmally low wages and bad working conditions that farmworkers labor under.

Here are additional talking points (and the names of your two Senators, plus additional phone numbers):

http://www.numbersusa.com/phones?ID=10121

Expect that many staffers will either have no idea what is going on or will be lying to you. Some of you were reporting to us that Sen. Feinstein's staffers were telling you that she had no intention of attaching an amnesty this afternoon at the precise time that the committee was voting on her proposal to attach!!!!!

Unless Senators see an outpouring of disgust and outrage similar to what you waged a year ago, they will interpret it to be safe to vote an amnesty this year.

Besides an estimated 1.2 million illegal alien ag workers, all the millions of illegal aliens in their families would apparently get an amnesty, also.

Good luck. You are the only force that stands between some semblance of the rule of law and massive rewards for illegal immigration.

Bush speaks against appeasement (Sweetness and Light)

“Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along,” Mr. Bush said. “We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: “Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.” We have an obligation to call this what it is — the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.”

The Obama campaign issued an angry response. In an e-mail statement to reporters, the senator denounced Mr. Bush for using the 60th anniversary of Israel to “launch a false political attack,” adding, “George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the president’s extraordinary politicization of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally Israel.”

Obama’s premature withdrawal of troops from Iraq would lead to “devastating consequences,” according to our commanders in Iraq. As a result we could be re-entering a more chaotic situation in 2013 after an Obama Administration.

Stanley Kurtz in Jeremiah Wright's Trumpet, Weekly Standard, says, "To the question of the moment–What did Barack Obama know and when did he know it?–I answer, Obama knew everything, and he’s known it for ages. ... A careful reading of nearly a year’s worth of Trumpet Newsmagazine, Wright’s glossy national “lifestyle magazine for the socially conscious,” makes it next to impossible to conclude otherwise."

Michelle sums it up in saying McCain's problem is that he has allied himself, for the unprincipled, empty cause of "bipartisanship," with people and causes that move our country in the wrong direction.

As for me, I don't think I'll be wasting the gas it takes to get to the voting booth, on an Obama-lite. Unless, of course, he can be resuscitated along with the rest of the GOP by adopting GOP 2.0. In the meanwhile, McCain's present positions centering around trying to out Obama Obama - as evidenced in his speech today, are a significant turn-off for independents and conservatives alike.

Chapter Three

Viper’s Lair,
Kerch, Ukraine

Muhammad crouched upon the floor, next to his odiferous mattress. Another day had passed without interruption; at least he considered it to be another day for he had slept soundly and felt quite refreshed. He had taken to a semblance of keeping track of time by casually adjusting his mattress in relation to the blocks comprising the walls but apparently his captors discovered his trick and it was not long before he found his ‘timepiece’ relocated quite noticeably. At least, this bit of interference proved beyond a reasonable doubt that someone was observing his actions carefully.

Proven observance meant that he was, after all, worthy of inspection. Why he had no visitors was left to the minds of the infidels; he was valuable and therefore someone at least was keeping track of his most innocent actions. This knowledge empowered him a bit, providing him with just enough incentive to ignore his nakedness and absence of furnishings.

He no longer needed to worry about his not having any visitors; that some unseen and unknown soul had been watching his every move, his every action, and no doubt his every belch seemed to dissipate the loneliness that encroached upon his thoughts every now and then. Muhammad was now surrounded by an undeterminable number of infidels and this provided him with a high level of incentive to defeat their objective – whatever it was.

Leaning slightly against the mattress to relieve stress from his lower legs, Muhammad tugged on his long, dark beard as he focused on his own goal – subjugation of the West. September 11th, 2001 taught him that the West – specifically the United States of America – could withstand just about any attack against it and it would roll off as more or less a minor interruption to their wicked ways. Therefore, he needed to formulate an attack that held no precedence; something so horrendous that not even the pathetically apathetic Americans could endure.

Grandiose plans of global mayhem were not foreign to Muhammad’s thinking. For years he planned to vanquish his own Middle East through the use of chemical weapons. He planned their use for he knew that almost all grown men within the region possessed facial hair making it decidedly difficult to don gasmasks and other protective headgear. He experienced this firsthand in his youth when he served in the Iranian People’s Army, or Basij militia, as they fought to retain control of the conquered Majnoon Islands during the Iran-Iraq War during the 1980’s for which Saddam Hussein’s military unleashed nerve agents upon the unprotected Iranians.

Muhammad held no qualms over destroying tens of thousands if not millions of his fellow Arabs if it meant personal glory; the fact that nearly all possessed beards and mustaches simply made it easier to use chemical agents upon them. For the infidels, however, something even more sinister had to be unleashed upon them; something that there was no known protection for the general population. Only then would the Americans capitulate over fear of further destruction.

He thought about standing up, of pacing around his small cell in order to flush more blood into his brain but decided that those watching him from the camera embedded high above would take notice of his change in demeanor so he elected to stretch out further into his mattress. It was a semblance of laxity that just might cover his train of thought.

Muhammad knew that to attack the Americans, he literally needed the power of God; that nuclear attack was perhaps the only option available that presented a quick and powerful strike without resorting to large amounts of chemical or biological agents. The problem rested not with the technology or even the know-how – these were available to almost anyone with at least a moderate degree of intelligence and access to the Internet – but with how to smuggle the device into the United States.

Fully understanding the porous nature of America’s borders, he could easily smuggle in a small device such as a suitcase nuke into the infidel’s homeland without anyone taking notice but therein remained another problem: Muhammad thought big. Really big. He didn’t want to unleash a nuclear attack upon the United States unless he could guarantee the unbearable, total annihilation of one of the Great Satan’s largest cities. No mere destruction of a small, outlying ‘heartland’ town as some of his followers wanted to do would suffice.

In fact, Muhammad had already chosen which city that he wanted to destroy; the same city that Islamists had been targeting virtually uninterrupted since the 1979 Iranian Revolution thrust the radical Islamists upon the world stage: New York City. He no longer felt that merely toppling office buildings would serve his expectations. No, he wanted New York City wiped clean off of the map. Then, perhaps, the infidel Americans would listen to him.

What he wanted was easy to imagine; how to impart it to his satisfaction was a totally different animal with which to deal. Muhammad was not so naïve as to believe that he could just walk into the United States with a hydrogen bomb and detonate it. First, he had to find a way past the nation’s security forces. Second, nearly everyone on the planet knew that most American citizens were armed to the hilt and would not take too kindly to another Muslim trying to destroy their country. Fortunately, for him, he knew full well that New York City was one of the few places in the United States where indigenous laws benefited the likes of him and not its own citizens. Third, Muhammed wanted more than just destroying as many people as he could; he wanted to cause as much financial and environmental damage as possible.

Crawling haphazardly over to the corner so as to relax up against the wall without attracting undue attention to his actions, Muhammad allowed a brief smile indicative of his sinister plans. New York City was the ideal target – a location which possessed tens of millions of people; the financial center of the Great Satan; and served as a major – and vulnerable – harbor. Perfect.

There could be no doubt that if he could orchestrate the total destruction of the entire city, America would be brought down upon its knees. The rest of the country would lose confidence in its security, suffer unimaginably through destruction of its primary financial center, lose the use of one of its main harbors through contamination, and beyond all else, take an emotional hit as New York City would be struck yet again. Yes, Muhammad thought, a major nuclear detonation from within the city would be his ultimate dream and ensure him of his place of honor within Greater Islam. What could be better?

Muhammad tugged at his beard: How can I get a large, megaton nuclear weapon within New York City? He considered the difficulties of getting past U.S. Customs and the probable need for heavy shielding to prevent detection. Besides the logistics involved, he thought about the need for capital – a significant amount of capital – as well as the technological and administrative support for such a massive undertaking.

While his exterior showed almost none of the thought processes that swirled throughout his mind, Muhammad’s consciousness drifted back into time when ancient Troy was leveled by the appearance of a ruse gift courtesy of the ‘departing’ Greeks. A wide grin made its appearance upon his otherwise stoical face. What better way to gain entrance into America than by having its citizens welcome their own destruction with open arms? New York City would be vaporized into non-existence and the Americans would have no one else to blame but themselves! Muhammad began a deep, sinister laugh for which he could care less if the entire planet had heard. His agile mind was beginning to plan out the ultimate in attacks and the only obstacle that remained was his eventual extraction from the Viper’s Lair.

Dayton Ohio Under Siege from Hams and Radical Muslims

This weekend Dayton Ohio will be under siege by two different groups:  1.  Radical Muslim  Khalid Yasin will be lecturing at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio on May 16th, sponsored by Dayton’s Masjid-at-Taqwa; and 2.  Amateur Radio Operators (including hubby) attending the 2008 Dayton Hamvention.  Hams and Muslims crowding into the same hotels and restaurants?  Should be interesting.

Khalid Yasin is one of the most notorious Islamic hate sheikhs in the world today. He had been widely condemned from the US to Britain to Australia for his virulent Wahhabist extremism, his intense anti-Americanism (despite the fact that he is an American-born convert), his justification of Islamic terrorism, his wild-eyed conspiracy theories, and his outright racial and religious bigotry. And an Australian news investigation found that Yasin had claimed academic degrees that the schools had no record or, and also discovered that he had engaged in outright fraud in his building his international Islamic media empire.

So it is troubling to see that Khalid Yasin will be lecturing at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio on May 16th, sponsored by Dayton’s Masjid-at-Taqwa.

For example, consider some of his stated positions and activities:

• Yasin was in Saudi Arabia on 9/11 soliciting the support of Al-Qaeda front Al-Haramain Foundation, which was designated a terrorist organization in 2004 by the US government, to help finance his Islamic Broadcasting Company,.

• Yasin says that the US government was behind the 9/11 attacks.

• Yasin claims that AIDS was invented at a US government lab and spread by Western governments through UN agencies and Christian missionaries.

• Yasin advocates for the death penalty for homosexuality.

• Yasin justified the terrorist bombings in Bali because of years of Western oppression.

• Yasin says that the Quran permits wife-beating and that equal rights for women is a “delusion” and “foolishness”. • Yasin calls the beliefs of Christians and Jews “filth”.

• Yasin says that Muslims cannot have non-Muslim friends. •

Yasin rejects any separation between Islam and the state and openly advocates for the reestablishment of the caliphate.

• Yasin visited Jemaah Islamiah terrorist leader Abu Bakar Bashir in prison.

• Yasin has lectured with Hizb-ut-Tahrir hatemonger Omar Bakri Mohammed, who was banned from the UK in 2006.

• Yasin was in Saudi Arabia on 9/11 soliciting the support of Al-Qaeda front Al-Haramain Foundation, which was designated a terrorist organization in 2004 by the US government, to help finance his Islamic Broadcasting Company,.

It is difficult to overstate the hatred, bigotry, misogyny and malicious conspiracy theories spewed by Khalid Yasin. So despicable is his warped ideology that he had been made a pariah by the international media and his views have been condemned by numerous government officials.  (continue reading at FromtPageMag)

At the Hara Arena you will find Hams of all ages, male and female, enjoying the flea markets, forums, manufacturer exhibits, and good clean fun.Come meet your friends, make new ones and remember.  As the Dayton Hamvention website says:   "If you can't find it at Dayton, you'll never find it!" 

Only in America!

                                             

 

Crescent shapes with and without Islamic intent: the Obama logo example

Crescent shapes with and without Islamic intent: the Obama logo example, thanks to Error Therapy

The two most widely recognized symbols of Islam are the crescent and the sword. Kind of amusing that Barack Hussein Obama’s campaign logo can be seen to feature both a crescent and a curved Islamic scimitar:

The crescent shape in Obama’s logo has the round part on top, just like a traditional crescent shaped mihrab (the Mecca direction indicator around which every mosque is built). The animation shows the two most famous mihrabs in the world: the mihrab from the Great Mosque in Cordoba, and the Prophet’s mihrab in Medina.

The lighter vertical column in the center-bottom of the logo, presumably meant to indicate reflected light, even conveys the full vertical shape of a traditional mihrab. The scimitar in the animation is from the flag of the Bosnian regiment of the Nazi SS.

If Obama himself had come up with this crescent logo, one might suspect Islamic intent, given his Islamic heritage. But the logo was not designed by Obama. It was designed by a Chicago based branding firm named Sender, which claims credit for coming up with: “a white sunrise against a blue sky, over a landscape implied by red and white stripes.”

Obama definitely deserves to be made fun of for having a fairly obvious crescent shape in his logo, given his efforts to convince the public that he is not Muslim. This is already an uphill climb, when both his grandmother and his cousin are telling documented lies about their religion, claiming to be Christian in one venue while professing themselves Muslim in another. Lying about being Christian: it’s an Obama family tradition!

Still, there is no indication that the crescent and scimitar shapes in Obama’s logo are intended to convey any Islamic meaning. A genuine coincidence apparently. At the opposite pole is the Crescent of Embrace design for the Flight 93 memorial:

Contrast 1: Architect Paul Murdoch CALLS his crescent shaped memorial a crescent

The Crescent of Embrace name proves that the Flight 93 crescent was and is intended to be seen as a crescent. Only very reluctantly did the Memorial Project change the name, and the changes they made to the design are purely cosmetic. Every particle of the original Crescent of Embrace design remains completely intact in the Bowl of Embrace redesign.

Contrast 2: The Islamic symbolism is overt

It is not plausible that an architect, designing a memorial to people murdered by Islamic terrorists, could be oblivious to the fact that his memorial design is laid out in the shape of a bare naked Islamic crescent and star flag, readily identifiable as a crescent and star flag to airliners like Flight 93 passing overhead.

The Memorial Project simply assumes that the Islamic symbol shapes CAN’T be intentional, which is about like seeing an airliner fly into the World Trade Center and assuming it CAN’T be intentional. Do these people even remember the day they are supposed to be memorializing?

Contrast 3: The Flight 93 crescent contains still further Islamic symbolism

It turns out that the giant crescent points to Mecca. A crescent that Muslims face into to face Mecca is a well known structure in the Islamic world. It is a mihrab (as seen in the above animation), which gives the direction that Muslims are to face for prayer.

Everyone at the Memorial Project is fully aware that a person facing into the giant crescent will be facing almost exactly at Mecca. This according to Flight 93 Advisory Commission member Tim Baird. Again, they all just assume that this MUST be an innocent mistake (the equivalent of seeing as SECOND airliner fly into the Trade Center, and STILL assuming it can’t POSSIBLY be intentional).

Contrast 4: Proof of intent

Paul Murdoch PROVES that the Mecca orientation is intentional by repeating it in the crescents of trees that surround the minaret like Tower of Voices. Below is an animated run-through of the repeated Mecca-orientations (2 minutes).

You can restart the animation by refreshing the page:

Animated GIF: copy and paste. You can email it! (Animation restarts each time email is opened.) Click image for larger animation, if your connection is fast enough (1MB).

Crescent of Embrace site-plan, showing both the central crescent and the Tower of Voices, here.

Contrast 5: the designer's own thematic description is clearly terrorist memorializing

The designers of Obama's logo offer a clearly innocent thematic description of their creation. You can tell just by looking at it what it is MEANT to signify: a white sun coming up into a blue sky over red and white rows of fruited plain. Even the uncanny intimation of the vertical sides of a traditional mihrab are fully explained by the “sun” reflecting off the red and white “landscape.”

In contrast, Paul Murdoch's thematic account of his design is as nakedly pro-terrorist as his crescent and star layout. Murdoch says that the crescent comes from the terrorists breaking the circle. That is, they broke our liberty-loving circle, and turn it into a giant Islamic-shaped Mecca-oriented crescent.

As Tom Burnett Sr. put it in his letter to American people, asking for help with our petition to keep the crescent design off of his murdered son's gravesite:

I don’t want to celebrate the terrorist’s circle-breaking crescent-creating feat.

And lest anyone thinks that the giant crescent is no longer present, the Park Service website makes clear that, while the redesign looks more like a circle, the circle is still broken:

The circle is broken in two places that mark the southeastern path of the plane to the crash site. The circle is broken at the entry to the memorial and at the crash site.

The breaks are in the exact same places as before and the unbroken part of the circle (the crescent) remains completely unchanged. It it still points to Mecca. It is still the world's largest mihrab by a factor of a hundred. The only difference is that now a chunk of the broken off part of the circle is included in the design, which is perfectly consistent with its original terrorist memorializing theme. The terrorists still break our liberty-loving circle and still turn it into a giant Mecca-oriented crescent.

So there you have it. Dueling crescents! Obama’s crescent logo exemplifies innocent coincidence (however guilty Obama may be of lying about his religion). In contrast, the Flight 93 crescent exemplifies proven intent. (More of architect Paul Murdoch’s endless proofs of intent here and here.)

Illegal aliens, the news is good and bad

The N.C. Community College System will no longer allow illegal immigrants to enroll in curriculum degree programs. (Rocky Mountain Telegram) Michelle Malkin says "From sanctuary nation to sovereign nation. One step at a time." Yee Haw

On the MSM 'reports' about how illegals are treated in 'detention camps' and being 'drugged' before deportation, the Corner says:

The Post piece (with an accompanying 60 Minutes segment) was a resounding success for the advocacy group that planted it, as was last week’s New York Times story along the same lines. The goal of all this coordinated coverage is to delegitimize the whole notion of detaining illegal immigrants, so as to prevent the government from being able to enforce the immigration law…

Michelle Malkin on the real scandal:

4) The real scandal is that even after 9/11, there are a mere 33,000 detention beds for an illegal alien population upwards of 20 million.

5) The real scandal is that while 33,000 are in custody, some 400,000-500,000 illegal alien deportation fugitives are on the loose after they’ve been ordered to leave by immigration judges.

6) The real scandal is that for every detainee in custody, there are countless others who have been released and gone on to commit crimes and wreak havoc on American soil.

But those won’t be splashed on the front page and packaged with snazzy, multimedia features.

Because those won’t win journalism prizes.

There is little chance that the three liberals running for president along with the other notable morons that preach the gospel of liberalism from their various pulpits will succumb to common sense and allow for the limited self-government our founding fathers intended.

Pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, thanks to 'climate change'

Al Gore is into the climate change scam for the money and our politicians are assisting him. Shame on them.

To Gore's critics, his financial stake in businesses that could profit from government policies designed to fight global warming demonstrates a motivation other than a selfless desire to protect the planet. Gore has lobbied Congress and state governments to enact bolder environmental regulations. Gore's defenders counter that he and his partners are simply looking at companies that will have long-term sustainability during the "climate crisis."

"There are a bunch of folks that stand to make real money, who have invested a lot in companies that are not worth real money until the agenda that this ad campaign is advocating is achieved," Chris Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a free-enterprise think tank, said in an interview.

Companies in the KPCB portfolio, as start-up companies, might be in greater need of a helping hand from government policy changes, but the larger, more established firms in the GIM portfolio also could benefit if the government manipulates the current market by mandating alternative fuels or imposing a cap and trade system.

As a private citizen, Gore is not required to publicly disclose how much of his personal fortune is invested in the venture capital firm. (CNS)

Pastor Says Oprah, Obama, Jeremiah Wright Are ‘Trinity of Hell’, Breitbart

"Now, this trinity of hell. The father, the Reverend Doctor Jeremiah Wright. The son, the Senator Barack Hussein Obama. And the whore girl, Oprah Winfrey. These three now, they are looking to be the President, the Vice President and the Secretary of State."

Some illegal immigrants sedated before deportation

So what? So what if unruly illegal immigrants are given a sedative to get them under control before shipping them back to their own country? The Washington Post has a hit piece on the subject. But if you truly search through the article, you will find the truth: deportees are allowed to be sedated only if they have a mental illness requiring the drugs, or if they are so aggressive that they imperil themselves or people around them.

If the government wants a detainee to be sedated, a deportation officer asks for permission for a medical escort from the aviation medicine branch of the Division of Immigration Health Services (DIHS), the agency responsible for medical care for people in immigration custody. A mental health official in aviation medicine is supposed to assess the detainee's medical records, although some deportees' records contain no evidence of that happening. If the sedatives are approved, a U.S. public health nurse is assigned as the medical escort and given prescriptions for the drugs.

After injecting the sedatives, the nurse travels with the deportee and immigration guards to their destination, usually giving more doses along the way.

I see nothing wrong with this procedure. However, our legal system is again being used against us by NON-citizens, some with violent and criminal backgrounds. According to the Washington Post, more than 250 cases (so The Washington Post says) have been identified in which the government has, without medical reason... (again according to the Washington Post's opinion). Shouldn't we leave the decision up to the medical people and ICE agents who actually handle the illegals?

One case is Yousif Nageib who was being deported to his native Sudan.

In requesting drugs for his deportation, an immigration officer had noted that Nageib, 40, had once fled to Canada to avoid an assault charge and had helped instigate a detainee uprising while in custody. But on the morning of his departure, the log says, he "is handcuffed and states he will do what we say." Still, he was injected in his right buttock with a three-drug cocktail. (continue reading)

I suppose the ICE agents should just take Mr. Nageib at his word??? I'm not saying that there are no instances when perhaps the drugs were not called for, anything is possible and there is always room for abuse no matter what the situation. I'm waiting for someone to call this 'torture'. Just wait for it ... We all know what these lawsuits are about, ... keeping the illegals in the US and giving them the rights of American citizens.

Jimmy Carter Builds Habitat For Hamas

Jimmy Carter Builds Habitat For Hamas, from The People's Cube, hat tip Ernesto

Carter Fights Apartheid and Killer Rabbits

Carter hard at work as Hamas members prepare to launch fireworks in celebration.

After finishing Habitat for Hamsters in San Francisco, President Jimmy Carter went on to start a new Habitat for Hamas project in Gaza, building new homes for families whose homes were destroyed by Israeli bulldozers in retaliation for suicide bombings. Jimmy Carter says he feels “quite at ease” working with Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal. I've been meeting with Hamas leaders for years, I find them to be peace-loving people, and they are just misunderstood by bigoted Americans. If Israel would dismantle their system of Apartheid, and meet all the demands of Hamas, everyone could live in peace and harmony.

~

Habitat for Hamas will help with Hamas families housing problem, despite the group’s stated commitment to the violent destruction of the state of Israel, because you can’t always get prerequisites adopted by other people before you even grovel and beg. Habitat for Hamas has shown that building homes does more than put a roof over someone’s head. It also provides them a environment for training, planning, and executing missions. As a world peacemaker Jimmy Carter knows good, honest, well intentioned people when he sees them.

Proud new homeowner Shaul Thabet says, "Israelis bulldozed our old home accusing us of using it as a base for suicide attacks. I am so proud of my husband. I am happy that Allah has granted him the chance to be a martyr. Soon our baby son will follow in his footsteps".

Whether it be Rhodesia, Nicaragua, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, or North Korea, Jimmy is able to highlight the errors of American foreign policy and show the world that thugs, dictators, despots, and fascists are people too.(continue reading)

Report: Pollution Causes Blood Clots

Breathing in air pollution from traffic fumes can raise the risk of potentially deadly blood clots, ... affects development of deep vein thrombosis - blood clots in the legs - makes the blood more sticky and likely to clot.. (BBC)

Exposure to small particulates - tiny chemicals caused by burning fossil fuels - is known to increase the chances of heart disease and stroke.

But the Harvard School of Public Health found it also affected development of deep vein thrombosis - blood clots in the legs - in a study of 2,000 people.

Researchers said the pollution made the blood more sticky and likely to clot.

The team looked at people living in Italy - nearly 900 of whom developed DVT.

Blood clots which form in the legs can travel to the lungs, where they can become lodged, triggering a potentially fatal pulmonary embolism.

The risk of DVT is known to be increased by long periods of immobility. In particular, passengers on long-haul flights have been shown to be vulnerable, but so are people who spend long periods of time sitting at their office desk without exercising, or walking around. (continue reading at BBC)

Chapter Two

Viper’s Lair,
Kerch, Ukraine

Muhammad gazed upon his surroundings with his intense, orange-brown eyes scrutinizing the cell that had been his home for the past two months – as near as he could tell given the circumstances of his internment. The clammy four-meter by four-meter cubical remained nothing more than a damp concrete block cage with a dented steel bucket which served both as a wash basin and commode and his abode’s sole furnishing was an antiquated mattress better suited perhaps as a condominium for an infinite variety of microscope vermin. Its ceiling rose a good meter above his outstretched hands, preventing even his 183 centimeter frame from reaching the bare light bulb that never seemed to be extinguished.

How many prisoners had preceded him into this little piece of terrestrial hell, his mind could not imagine. Still, his thin nostrils hinted at hundreds over the course of undisclosed decades. Mere cattle could not exude such a foul odor for at least they often had an opportunity to relieve themselves far from where they ate and slept. Muhammad did not consider himself to be such a beast, but he dwelled amongst them all his adult life – both mammalian and otherwise – just the same.

To say that he hated his current predicament was to acknowledge to his captors that he preferred the luxurious appointments of his Beirut apartment but that was something that he would never allow his hated enemy to witness. Muhammad never allowed the outside world to understand his innermost feelings and emotions. He simply hated mankind first and foremost; temporary inconveniences would never distract him from his ultimate goal – the submission of the infidels. Like all complex personalities, he could not be defined merely by the situation. He loved luxury, yes, but in the context of his perverted jihad he would gladly accept whatever challenge the West forced upon him.

In this regard, he knew every square centimeter of his cell. That each wall was constructed of sixteen and a one-half staggered blocks towards the ceiling and an almost identical sixteen and a fraction along the floor. That the sickening yellow door contrasted vividly with the dark gray walls, floor, and ceiling. How the gurgling sound occasionally emitted from the single floor drain often interrupted his sleep when all else was silent.
From time to time, mostly when he was just beginning to fall asleep and never knowing exactly what time of day it was or whether it was the beginning of the week or the last few days; Muhammad could hear, quite faintly, the sound of a nearby prisoner being worked over by their captors. He could hear the words of a man screaming about his family in Arabic and the unmistakable laughter of several foreign individuals.

Thus far, however, Muhammad had been left to his own consciousness; sitting sometimes upon the floor and at other times upon his worn mattress, always naked for that was the condition that his captors had elected to permit him after that first brutal week. From the first moment that he was confronted within his Pakistani cave until he had a fleeting glimpse of the Viper’s Lair, Muhammad had been forcibly shoved here and there. Sometimes he had to wear a suffocating canvas bag over his head while at other times a simple blindfold seemed to suffice. As if to mock his rather flamboyant tastes, every vehicle that he was transported in sounded and smelled as if it were a relic from the earliest twentieth century.

Being so ill-treated during his journey, he expected no less once he reached his final destination but therein developed something of a surprise for him. Other than an occasional meal left upon his floor, apparently timed to arrive with his erratic slumbers, Muhammad had no visitors whatsoever. Not one. No one arrived to interrogate him. No one arrived to examine him. In fact, no one arrived to torture him. He could make neither heads nor tails out of the infidels’ lack of attention.

Surely they knew who he was; everyone on the planet did – at least Muhammad never ventured anywhere where he wasn’t either idolized or demonized. Why, then, the silence once he was captured? He strongly suspected that he was being watched nonetheless, but couldn’t conceive of where a camera could’ve been hidden. He had ample time to scrutinize the walls and floor and as dark and grimy as they were, he would’ve easily detected any camera or microphone. From what he could see of the high ceiling, the flat gray cement was nearly blemish-free and only disappeared from his view near the brilliant light bulb that had served as his sole source of illumination.

The camera, if it existed – and he believed that it did – must’ve been near the bright light. It made practical sense, sharing the power lines and being positioned in the most advantageous area with respect to lighting; and it made operational sense – Muhammad could not reach or even inspect the bug.

Other than for moments of idle curiosity, Muhammad did not dwell upon whether he was being watched or not. He was in the hands of his ancestral enemy and this warranted every cognizant thought that he could muster under the circumstances. For whatever else that fate had delivered him into the hands of the infidels, he possessed an unfathomable level of knowledge regarding his own operations and intentions. Had he been a prisoner of the Israelis, he reasoned, then they would’ve been torturing him every day of every week in order to extract the information that his mind held. And yet nothing.

Muhammad’s senses were not so isolated that he could not detect the prominence of the Russian and Ukrainian languages and so he suspected that he was being held within either country, specifically the latter. That it could’ve been all a ruse was considered but his gut instincts suggested that such a fabrication held little value for his enemies. The Russians hated the Islamists just as much as the West – they just despised the West enough to keep their own hatred quiet.

Not having much of a choice as to what to do otherwise – stand, sit on the floor, or sit on the mattress – Muhammad elected to do what he did best and that was plan on how to get back at his enemies. Being a Muslim was simple and straightforward; if they didn’t believe in precisely what you believed in then they were subject to death in the most heinous way imaginable. Whether they were Russian, Ukrainian, Israeli, American, or even other Arabs changed that not one bit.

Unlike his more popular contemporaries such as Osama Bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri, Muhammad did not seek a greater Islam based upon some broad-based Caliphate. No, Muhammad sought a more glorified world in which he could elect to dabble within Western luxuries while his subjects had to accept legislation by shariah. That is, Muhammad just wanted to profit at the expense of others. He knew that a global Islamic Caliphate would not quench his thirst for power and prestige. He wanted to be the one in control of the planet and, truth be told; Allah, the Qur’ân, and his fellow Muslims could be damned.

So, having already counted all one thousand or so cement blocks that had lined his personal depository, Muhammad turned his calculating nature towards his most immediate goal –how to enact revenge against his enemies once his men had come to free him. That he considered the latter arrangement to be a given, he did not allow his mind to consider anything other than the first. Still, how best to make the infidels pay for their transgressions?

Soldier Gets Iraqi Girl New Legs

This is a perfect example of a typical American soldier, God bless them all.

May 10, 2008 Knight Ridder

BAGHDAD - Staff Sgt. Luis Falcon, 38, was patrolling the streets of Baqouba, north of Baghdad, when he saw Shahad Abbas. The 11-year-old girl was in a large decrepit wheelchair, and the stumps of her legs where her calves should have been were crusted with dried blood.

Falcon couldn't just walk on, so he stopped to talk. He came back the next day and the day after that, then every day for six months, bringing her toys, gauze for her legs, a new wheelchair. Anything she asked for, he would bring.

In a war that Falcon no longer really understood, Shahad became his mission. So when she asked for legs, that became his mission, too.

On Friday his dream and hers came true, just three weeks before he's scheduled to leave Iraq. Shahad was fitted with prosthetic limbs in a U.S. military-funded clinic in Baghdad that normally provides artificial limbs for wounded members of the Iraqi security forces.

"We created a bond, and I didn't need a translator to interpret the bond we had," Falcon said.

With no little girls of his own, he thought of Shahad as his daughter and carried a picture of her smiling in the shoulder pocket of his uniform. (continue reading)

Homeschoolers losing jobs

Home-schooled children generally do better on tests, do better in college, have better discipline toward study, and on and on. However there is an increasing war against home-schooling. When compared to the Liberal rubbish consuming government schools today, home-schooling or private school seems to be the only way to go. But now we see people losing their jobs because they were home schooled, losing out on employment potential, because they do not have a government issued diploma. (hat tip hubby)

NASHVILLE: Three West Tennessee day-care workers have already lost their jobs because of a new interpretation that the state Department of Education has given to what qualifies as the high school diploma required for holding some government-related jobs, according to Rep. Mike Bell, R-Riceville, sponsor of a bill that would revise that interpretation.

But critics of the measure say it would amount to giving a legislative seal of approval to a homeschool education when the state has no control over what is involved in that education.

The bill, HB1652, won approval of the House Education Committee in a 9-7 vote after lengthy debate Monday evening. But it still has several hurdles to clear before the end of the legislative session. Legislative leaders have set May 15 as the latest target date.

Students receiving certificates of graduation from homeschooling since 1985 have been deemed to qualify as holding a diploma for purposes of state law, according to Bell and Rep. Dennis Ferguson, D-Harriman, a co-sponsor of the bill who joined in arguing for passage before the committee.

Evans, 24, who was in the audience at the committee meeting, said he got his homeschooling certificate in 2001 and worked in various jobs, including as a jailer with the Roane County Sheriff's Office. Last year, he attended Walters State Community College and made perfect grades in graduating from a law-enforcement certification class, he said.

He got a job with the Rockwood Police Department in January 2008 and quickly developed an exemplary record, Bell said. Then the Peace Officers Standards and Training Commission noticed his homeschool certificate and asked the Department of Education whether that met the criteria for a high school diploma.

When the department replied in the negative, the POST Commission declared that Evans could not be certified as a police officer and therefore could not hold his job. (continue reading at Knox News)

Take Your Gun to Dinner

The Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) organized the dinner at Champps to prove a point: that the presence of armed customers in Northern Virginia restaurants would elicit little more than shrugs. (AP)

The patrons at Champps in Reston, an upscale restaurant and bar chain, were eating ribs and drinking beer on a recent Saturday when customer Bruce Jackson stood up and made an announcement: He was armed, and so were dozens of other patrons.

Matt Gottshalk (left) and Dave Vann, members of the Virginia Citizens Defense League, carry their holstered handguns into a restaurant in Reston to demonstrate that other diners don't mind.

The dinner — and several other restaurant visits throughout Northern Virginia last month — were a response to comments from the majority leader in the state Senate, Democrat Richard L. Saslaw, who said during a legislative debate that armed patrons would be unwelcome in Northern Virginia restaurants.

"In most urban areas, you walk into a restaurant with a gun on your hip, they're going to tell you to get out," Mr. Saslaw said.

In fact, with a few exceptions, the gun owners got their meals. The group went to eight different restaurants last month — at two of them, they were asked to leave. More often than not, though, their presence failed to generate a stir. (continue reading at Associated Press)

Children under age 6 banned from restaurant

Restaurant Bans Children Younger Than 6 -- Owner Wants To Cater Restaurant To Adults. So, why stop at age 6 years? Ban all children. (hat tip hubby)

SILVERTON, Ore. -- The management for a popular restaurant in Silverton, Ore., announced Thursday that young children would no longer be allowed into the establishment.

The manager at the Red Thai restaurant on Oak Street said children under the age of 6 aren't welcome in the eatery.

The Red Thai manager, Craig Gereau, said children disrupt people who are trying to enjoy a quiet dinner.

He said most of his customers like the new rule, but he's had to turn some people away.

"We've had to turn a few young parents away. They're a little bit appalled, a little bit annoyed, but we have to do what we have to do. We can't stay in business to please everybody," Gereau said.

Gereau said he's not discriminating against anyone; he just wants to run a restaurant that caters to adults, and said there are plenty of family restaurants in Silverton for children. (WSBTV)
