UH-OH: GROWING CONSENSUS: CHINA BUBBLE BURSTING

ONE:

Monetary tightening in China threatens to pop the $1.7 trillion (£1.07 trillion) credit bubble in local government finance and expose the country's simmering "subprime" crisis, according to the Communist Party's economic guru.

TWO:

China may have had a gigantic bubble; some sectors of the economy will collapse: Marc Faber

THREE:

Fund manager Jim Chanos spoke to Bloomberg TV’s Carol Massar about China's economy, debt and real estate market.

Chanos said that growth in China may be zero and that China has “European kind of numbers” when it comes to debt.

On how a Chinese property bubble will play out:

"I think that will be the surprise going into this year, and into 2012 - that it is not so strong. The property market is hitting the wall right now and things are decelerating. The CEO of Komatsu said last week that he is having trouble getting paid for his excavator sales in China. Developers are being squeezed. They're turning to the black market for lending, this shadow banking system that is growing by leaps and bounds like everything in China.

"Regulators over there are really trying to get their hands around the problem. In the meantime, local governments have every incentive to just keep the game going. So they will continue with these projects, continuing to borrow as the central government tries to rein it in."

Chanos on his long and short positions:

"We are short Chinese banks, the property developers, commodity companies that sell into China, anything related to property there is still a short."

FOUR:

Thanks to this rampant use of credit, homes are now selling at outrageous levels when compared with personal incomes, 22:1 in some coastal regions. Investors should note that this ratio is far worse than anything the American property market experienced before its bubble burst suggesting that rough times could still be ahead for China and the likely overbought real estate market.

FIVE:

China’s biggest builder in the eastern province of Zhejiang, Greentown, appears to be in trouble and may provoke the start of contagion in Chinese property.

Chinese property stocks are plunging (by 10% a day in some cases). Developers in China are starting to have their liquidity challenged and their access to finance locally and globally is drying up.

THE FED AND THE ECB ARE DESPERATE TO SOLVE THEIR OWN PROBLEMS BEFORE THE SHIT HITS THE FANS IN CHINA.
SIX MONTHS - THAT ALL THEY HAVE.
STAY TUNED...

Obama appeasing Erdogan: sends this pro-HAMAS islamist 3 Super Cobra helicopters

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD TIME TO WITHHOLD THE CHOPPERS AND USE THEM AS LEVERAGE AGAINST ERDOGAN TO GET HIM TO STOP ISSUING PROVOCATIVE DECREES ONE AFTER ANOTHER AND THREATENING ISRAEL AND CYPRUS.

APPARENTLY, OBAMA DOESN'T MIND ERDOGAN'S INCREASINGLY BELLIGERENT AND PRO-ISLAMIST FOREIGN POLICY - SO HE'S SENDING THEM.

WHICH IS TRULY AWFUL BECAUSE IT IS HARMFUL TO US AND OUR OTHER ALLIES.

TURKEY CURRENTLY USES THEM MOSTLY AGAINST THE KURDS - FOLKS WHO HAVE A LEGITIMATE DESIRE FOR THEIR OWN NATION STATE, UNLIKE THE FAKISTINIANS.

NEW ZEALAND'S CREDIT RATINGS CUT AGAIN - I BLAME BUSH!

MUSTABIN BUSH'S UNFUNDED WARS AND TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH:

Standard & Poor’s lowered New Zealand’s credit rating one notch Friday, adding the country to a lengthening line of developed economies whose credit profiles have been undermined by high debt and the uncertain global economic outlook.

The downgrade followed a similar move by Fitch Ratings, which cut its rating for New Zealand on Thursday and also singled out the country’s high foreign debt levels as a cause for concern.

OH. SORRY. WAIT. BUSH WASN'T PRESIDENT OF NEW ZEALAND. AND THEY HAVE A MINUSCULE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT. AND NO UNFUNDED WARS. AND NO TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH.

THEN... ER, UM... HOW COULD THEY BE IN TROUBLE?!?!?!

IT'S THE SOCIALISM, STUPID!

NATO BEGINNING TO CONSIDER WAKING UP REGARDING TURKEY'S PROVOCATIVE FOREIGN POLICY

NYT/GLOBAL:

NATO’s secretary general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, expressed disquiet on Friday about tensions over natural gas exploration in the Mediterranean between a newly assertive Turkey and Cyprus, as well as Turkey’s strained relations with Israel, saying that they were both “a matter of concern.”

Mr. Rasmussen said he did not foresee the tension turning into conflict in the Mediterranean, and he praised Turkey as an indispensable member of NATO that could be “a bridge” between the West and the Arab countries now engaged in revolts.

“Obviously the tensions between Turkey and Israel are a matter of concern,” he said in an interview here. “It’s a bilateral issue, NATO is not going to interfere with that,” he added, “but it is the interest of the alliance to see these tensions eased, because Turkey is a key ally and Israel is a valuable partner for the alliance.”

IT'S NOT ENOUGH, BUT IT'S A START... I JUST HOPE IT'S NOT TOO LITTLE TOO LATE.

NEWT GINGRICH: IN YOUR HEAD, YOU KNOW HE'S RIGHT

I SAW NEWT DELIVER HIS 21ST CENTURY CONTRACT FOR AMERICA.

IT WAS GREAT - AND SO WAS HE.

HE'S THE SMARTEST GUY IN THE RACE -AND ONE WITH PERHAPS THE BEST EXPERIENCE, TOO.

HE'S MAKE A GREAT PRESIDENT.

BUT HE'S NOT A VERY GOOD CANDIDATE. HE'S TOO PROFESSORIAL.

HE CANNOT INSPIRE A CROWD LIKE PALIN, OR CAIN.

HE CANNOT GET INDEPENDENTS TO VOTE FOR HIM LIKE MITT.

OR RAISE MONEY LIKE MITT ND PERRY AND PALIN.

IF PALIN ENDORSED HIM, THEN HE'D HAVE A CHANCE.

OUTSIDE OF THAT, THE BEST WE CAN HOPE FOR IS THAT THE NEXT POTUS PICKS HIM TO BE HIS CHIEF POLICY ADVISOR.

With Awlaki dead, who becomes the new #1 threat to the USA? OBAMA!

Awlaki is dead; good riddance!

Now... who becomes the new #1 threat to the USA?

OBAMA. No one else even comes close to doing as much to destroy our economy or - in Obama's words - "transform" America.

The list of disastrous Obama policies is most impressive:

Obamacare, Dodd-Frank, Obamanomics/class warfare, awful programs and policies in response to the mortgage crisis and the Euro-crisis, his tacit support for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Syria - his lack of support for the Iranian rebellion, and his basic enmity for Israel.

If Obama was a crypto-Mulsim, then he would be the most dangerous jihadist in the world and enemy #1. At the very least, Obama is the most dangerous leftist in American history - doing more harm to he USA than Ayers, Dohrn, Debs, Farrakhan, Malcolm X, and Jimmy Carter.... COMBINED.

OBAMA BLAMES AMERICANS FOR THE LOUSY ECONOMY

NARCISSIST IN CHIEF OBAMA IS INCAPABLE OF ADMITTING HIS POLICIES HAVE FAILED MISERABLY AND THAT HE'S A SCOAMF, SO HE BLAMES THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

THE ONLY AMERICANS WHO ARE TO BLAME ARE THE ONES WHO VOTED FOR THIS SCHMUCK LAST TIME.

THEY CAN ATONE BY VOTING GOP IN 2012.

DURBIN: "OBAMA IS A LAME DUCK"

BY ADMITTING THAT SENATE DEMS DON'T HAVE THE VOTES TO PASS OBAMA'S SO-CALLED "JOBS BILL", DURBIN ALL BUT DECLARED THAT OBAMA IS A LAME DUCK

HOW TO HANDLE NEW DEBIT CARDS FEES: SCREW THE BANKS AND SWITCH TO CASH

BANKS ARE STARTING TO CHARGE FEES FOR USING DEBIT CARDS.

IF MY BANK STARTS TO CHARGE ME DEBIT CARD FEES, THEN I AM GOING TO SWITCH TO CASH AND ELECTRONIC BANKING OR AUTOMATIC PAYMENTS FOR RECURRING CHARGES.

THE WAY THE WORLD'S FINANCIAL SYSTEM IS DOING, IT'S PROBABLY SAFER TO KEEP OUR MONEY IN OUR MATTRESSES THAN IN ANY BANK - EVEN THE USA'S BIGGEST, THE BANK OF AMERICA - WHICH IS BEING SUED FOR $50BILLION.

TERRORIST ARRESTED IN UAV PLOT ON 9/28/11 - JUST LIKE I PREDICTED ON 9/10/11

THIS MUSLIM WAS GOING TO USE UAV'S - JUST LIKE I PREDICTED HERE.

NO ON ELSE DID - ANYWHERE.

"GREEN JOB": definition: it takes a HUGE amount of taxpayer green to create a single useless job

GREAT: 23 million bucks per job.

"L'Shana Tova and L'shana Haba'a b'Yerushalayim" - er...um, though not if Obama and Hillary Clinton and Abbas have their way!

"L'shana Tovah!" (HAPPY NEW YEAR!) and "L'shana Haba'a b'Yerushalayim " (NEXT YEAR N JERUSALEM!) JEWS HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

BUT NO LONGER - IF HILLARY CLINTON AND OBAMA GET THEIR WAY, THEN ALL JEWS CAN SAY IS NEXT YEAR IN HALF OF JERUSALEM:

Secretary of State Clinton, in a sharp departure from her stance when she was a senator, is warning that any American action, even symbolically, toward recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel must be avoided for the reason that it would jeopardize the peace process.

Her warnings were issued in a brief she has just filed with the Supreme Court — in which she is arguing that a law she voted for when she was Senator is unconstitutional because it could require the U.S. government to give to an American citizen born at Jerusalem papers showing the birthplace as Israel.

DISGUSTING. OBAMA AND HILLARY ARE TAKING THE SIDE OF ISRAEL'S ENEMIES.

JEWS WHO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OBAMA AND HILLARY ARE IGNORANT DUPES OR JUDENRATS.

AND THAT INCLUDES KOCH - (THOUGH HE'S PROBABLY BEING BLACKMAILED WITH NASTY PHOTOS!).

SIGH.

MAY YOU BE WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE. AND MAY YOU AND YOURS ENJOY HEALTH, HAPPINESS, PEACE AND PROSPERITY IN THE NEW YEAR!

IT HAS BEGUN: BLACK RACIST FLASH-MOB INVADES WHITE HOME IN PHILLY

COPS SAY IT WAS A RACIALLY MOTIVATED ATTACK AND OBAMA IS ABSOFREAKINLUTLEY SILENT.

MAYBE THIS IS WHAT HE MEANT WHEN HE TOLD THE CBC THAT BLACKS SHOULD TAKE OFF THEIR SLIPPERS??

MAYBE HE SHOULD HAVE A BEER SUMMIT - BUT FOR THESE THUGS IT'LL HAVE TO BE KEGGER... OF COLT45?

MAYBE THIS MOB IS AN OMEN OF WHAT'S TO COME OVER THE NEXT YEAR IF IT CONTINUES TO LOOK LIKE OBAMA IS GONNA LOSE?

AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE IS TROUNCED?

MAYBE THIS RACE-BAITING TURD OBAMA SHOULD FREAKIN' RESIGN.

ISLAMISTS ATTACK EGYPT-ISRAEL GAS PIPELINE... FOR 6TH TIME

Militants on Tuesday attacked a pipeline carrying natural gas from Egypt to Jordan and Israel. It was the sixth attack on the pipeline since the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak in February.

THANKS TO OBAMA.

UH-OH: BANK OF AMERICA SUED FOR $50 BILLION - BY SHAREHOLDERS

THIS SUIT IS A RESULT OF THE BURSTING OF THE HOUSING BUBBLE.

THE BUBBLE WAS CREATED AS A RESULT OF 30 YEARS OF SOCIALIST HOUSING POLICIES AND FANNIE MAE.

AT THE DIRECTION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THE MORTGAGES BANKS AND FANNIE MAE WROTE TO MILLIONS OF TRULY UNQUALIFIED BUYERS INFLATED REAL ESTATE PRICES AND CONTAMINATED THE ENTIRE FINANCIAL SYSTEM.

FEDERAL INTERVENTION IN THE FREE-MARKET ISN'T THE SOLUTION; IT'S THE PROBLEM.

25 official acts by Obama that have damaged the USA

25 ways Obama has damaged the USA and diminished the office.

A petition to ask Barack Obama to resign

FROM MOTUS:

"We the people petition Barack Obama to resign the office of President of the United States effective immediately."

According to the "We The People" rules, if a petition gathers 5,000 signatures within 30 days, it will receive an official White House response.

If a petition receives 150 signatures, it will appear in official "We The People" search results. My petition needs 4,950 more signatures to earn an official White House response (what can I say, I'm small), so I am asking everyone I know to publish this direct link to the petition and encourage your millions of readers, viewers and listeners to sign it. The link to my post on the petition and "We The People" site is here.

It would be great to force the White House to make an official response!

IF AL QAEDA SHOOTS DOWN A JETLINER OVER THE MEDITERRANEAN (G-D FORBID), I HOPE OBAMA HAS THE DECENCY TO RESIGN

THANKS TO OBAMA'S INEPTLY PLANNED AND EXECUTED AID TO THE LIBYAN REBELS - AND HIS OUT-SOUCING THE JOB TO NATO, AL QAEDA NOW HAS 20,000 SAM MISSILES CAPABLE OF BLOWING UP JETS.

YES: OBAMA'S HANDLING OF THIS MISADVENTURE HAS BEEN INEPT.

WE SHOULD HAVE SECURED OR DESTROYED GADDAFY'S BIG STUFF WITH AERIAL ASSAULT/BOMBARDMENT.

I MEAN, WHY THE HECK WASN'T THIS DONE!?!?

IT'S INEXCUSABLE.

AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF, OBAMA HAS FAILED - MISERABLY.

WOW: NYTIMES USES PHOTO OF OBAMA WITHOUT HALO BUT WITH HIS TELEPROMPTER!

THIS NYTIMES PHOTO (LINK HERE) MIGHT BE THE BEST PROOF YET THAT THE LEFT IS AS TIRED OF OBAMA AS EVERYONE ELSE!

THEY USED TO USE THIS ANGLE TO SHOW HIM UNDER A HALO. NO MORE!

CUI BONO FROM OBAMA'S POLICIES?

WHEN WONDERING WHAT MOTIVATES PARTICULAR ACTIONS BY PARTICULAR PEOPLE, IT'S HELPFUL TO ASK THE AGE OLD QUESTION - IN THE AGE OLD LANGUAGE OF LATIN:

CUI BONO?

"WHO BENEFITS".

THE ENEMIES OF THE USA AND THE FREE WORLD ARE THE CHIEF BENEFICIARIES OF OBAMA'S AWFUL POLICIES: CHINA, RUSSIA, AND GLOBAL JIHAD.

HERE'S HOW:

• IF AMERICA CONTINUES DOWN THE COLLECTIVIST PATH OBAMA HAS SET US ON...

• THEN THE USA WILL BECOME SO INDEBTED - TO CHINA, (A SOCIALIST COUNTRY AND A HEGEMONIC ADVERSARY)...

• THAT WE WON'T BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO DEFEND THE FREE WORLD...

• ENABLING CHINA AND IRAN AND GLOBAL JIHAD TO EXPAND AND TAKE OVER ASIA AND THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA AND HENCE THE MEDITERRANEAN...

• AND ENABLING RUSSIA TO HAVE FREE REIGN OVER EUROPE...

• A EUROPE - THAT BECAUSE OF ITS DECADES OF SOCIALISM, HAS ALREADY BEEN ENCUMBERED BY A STRANGLING DEBT...

• AND THIS HOBBLING OF THE WEST - OF THE FREE WORLD - WILL LAST IN PERPETUITY AS OUR DEBTS WILL ENCUMBER GENERATION AFTER GENERATION.

IF YOU BELIEVE IN PERSONAL LIBERTY, AND IF YOU DESIRE THE PROSPERITY ONLY LIBERTY PRODUCES FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR CHILDREN AND YOUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN...

THEN YOU SHOULD OPPOSE OBAMA WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND ALL YOUR SOUL AND ALL YOUR MIGHT.

IF WE FAIL, WE AND OUR CHILDREN AND OUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN - AND THEIR DESCENDANTS - SHALL SURELY SUFFER 1000 YEARS OF DARKNESS.

AT LEAST.

SIGH.

PALIN SHOULD EMULATE DEMINT AND HOST A FORUM FOR THE CANDIDATES

SDEMINT HELD A PUBLIC INTERVIEW OF EACH OF THE GOP CANDIDATES - IT WAS CALLED THE PALMETTO FORUM.

• EACH CANDIDATE WAS INTERVIEWED FOR 20 MINUTES STRAIGHT.

• IT WAS GREAT. SUBSTANTIVE. NO GOTCHA QUESTIONING FOR THE RATINGS. NO MSM BS.

• (YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO HERE.)

I THINK PALIN SHOULD HOST HER OWN CANDIDATE FORUM.

WITH THE HELP OF RUSH AND SEAN AND LEVIN!

(WHO CAN ASK THEIR QUESTIONS AND FOLLOW-UPS REMOTELY VIA SKYPE.)

IT CAN BE BROADCAST ON-LINE AND ON C-SPAN.

I THINK THE AUDIENCE WOULD BE HUGE!

JUST AN IDEA.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE: U.S. Health Insurance Costs rise sharply

NYTIMES: Sharp Rise in U.S. Health Insurance Cost, Study Finds

The cost of health insurance for many Americans this year climbed more sharply than in previous years, outstripping any growth in workers’ wages and adding more uncertainty about the pace of rising medical costs.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE RIGHT PREDICTED WOULD HAPPEN. AND THE NUMBER OF INSURED HAS DECLINED - EXCEPT FOR 21-26 YR OLDS WHO WENT ON MOMMY AND DADDY'S PLAN.

IOW: OBAMACARE IS AN ABSOFREAKINLUTE TOTAL ABJECT STINKIN FAILURE.

SOCIALISM ALWAYS IS.

SIGH.

IT'S THE ISLAM, STUPID: Pakistanis Tied to 2007 Border Ambush on Americans

NYTIMES: Pakistanis Tied to 2007 Border Ambush on Americans

I don't think there's a single officially islamic country that we can really trust. They are all duplicitous when it comes to us and the West. WHY?

It's the islam, stupid!

UPDATED: Barry Soetoro must have some nasty pictures of Eddie Koch

Barry must have some nasty pictures of Eddie - because that's how they play the game in Chicago:

Koch Endorses Obama in 2012

Former Mayor Edward I. Koch, who recently used the forum of a special Congressional election to broadcast his criticism of President Obama’s Israel policy, announced in an e-mail on Tuesday that Mr. Obama’s United Nations speech opposing the Palestinians’ bid for statehood had satisfied all his concerns, and that he was now prepared to support Mr. Obama’s re-election.

Koch is wrong: Obama doesn't deserve the Jewish vote. Obama has set back the Middle East by decades and made Israel's enemies stronger by appeasing them for 3 years.

Jews shouldn't let Obama's election campaign rhetoric change that fact for them. they should oppose Obama 0 - and if they're Democrats then they should support a primary challenge by a Democrat who will support Israel more than they support Israel's enemies.

UPDATE:

MORE PROOF EDDIE IS WRONG THAT OBAMA IS OKAY FOR ISRAEL:

TONIGHT, OBAMA CAME OUT AGAINST ISRAELIS BUILDING ANY MORE APARTMENTS IN JERUSALEM.

UPDATE #2:

THE WAY THE NYTMES FRAMES THE STORY, ISRAEL IS PRESUMED NOT TO HAVE ANY CLAIM ON ANY LAND IT WON IN THE 1967 WAR - SOMETHING UNSCR 242 DOESN'T ARGUE. EXCERPT:

Israel announced plans on Tuesday for 1,100 new housing units in an area of South Jerusalem outside Israel’s pre-1967 boundaries. The move reflects Israel’s continued rejection of Palestinian demands for a halt in settlement construction as a condition for peace talks.

ISRAEL IS NOT EVER GOING TO GIVE BACK JERUSALEM - A CITY THAT WAS ONLY EVER DIVIDED FOR 18 OF ITS 3000 YEARS.

ANTI-ZIONISTS LIKE OBAMA AND ABBAS HAD BETTER GET THAT THROUGH THEIR THINK SKULLS.

LAZY LEFTIST GREEKS BEG PRODUCTIVE HARD-WORKING GERMANS FOR HELP

LAZY LEFTIST GREEKS BEG PRODUCTIVE HARD-WORKING GERMANS FOR HELP.

I THINK GERMANY OUGHT TO DEMAND THAT GREECE BECOME A PROTECTORATE OF GERMANY AND PAY A PORTION OF ITS TAXES TO BERLIN.

GREEK NATIONAL GOVERNMENT THEN BECOMES MERELY AN ENTITY HAT ONLY DEALS IN STRICTLY LOCAL TOWN/VILLAGE/MUNICIPAL LAWS.

(AND THEY GOTTA HAVE ALL THEIR TAX & SPEND REFORMS WRITTEN IN BERLIN, TOO. LIKE RAISING THE RETIREMENT AGE TO 65 - FROM 50.)

A WORD OF PRAISE FOR MICHAEL MOORE, DENNIS KUCINICH AND BERNIE SAUNDERS

THANKS FOR BEING HONEST ABOUT YOUR BELIEFS.

UNLIKE OUR PRESIDENT AND MOST OF THE LEFTISTS WHO DOMINATE THE DEMOCRAT PARTY, MOORE AND KUCINICH AND SAUNDERS ADMIT THEIR LEFTIST POSITIONS AND POLICIES.

THEY AREN'T ASHAMED OF BEING SOCIALISTS.

UNLIKE THEIR COUSINS IN EUROPE - WHO CALL THEIR LEFT-OF-CENTER PARTIES "SOCIALIST", MOST DEMOCRATS ARE AFRAID OF ADMITTING THEY'RE SOCIALISTS AND TRANS-NATIONALISTS AND POSTMODERNISTS.

I USED TO BE A SOCIALIST. NO LONGER. NOT FOR A FEW DECADES.

LIKE ALL PERSONAL PROBLEMS OF CHOICE, THE FIRST STEP IS ADMITTING YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.

THE PROBLEM WITH AMERICAN LEFTISTS IS THAT THEY DENY 3 THINGS:

1 - THAT THEY'RE LEFTISTS
2 - THAT LEFTIST POLICIES HAVE FAILED MISERABLY EVERYWHERE, EVERY TIME
3 - THAT LEFTIST POLICIES ARE IMMORAL BECAUSE THEY VIOLATE THE SANCTITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL

AS POLITICAL AGITATORS, WE BLOGGERS ARE OF COURSE GONNA HAVE MORE LUCK WAKING UP INDEPENDENTS - AND CONVINCING THEM THAT THE DEMS ARE SOCIALISTS AND THAT SOCIALISM IS AWFUL, THEN WE ARE GONNA HAVE WAKING UP THOSE ON THE LEFT.

BUT ONLY BECAUSE THE LEFT HAS SUCCEEDED UP TO NOW IN GETTING THEIR ADHERENTS TO SHUT OUT NON-LEFTIST MEDIA, AND BECAUSE OF THEIR STRANGLEHOLD ON THE ACADEMY.

AND THAT'S WHY DEMOLISHING THE LEGACY MEDIA AND DE-UNIONIZING PUBLIC SCHOOLS, INTRODUCING VOUCHERS AND CHOICE, AND FORCING SCHOOLS TO HAVE POLITICALLY DIVERSE FACULTIES ARE ESSENTIAL EFFORTS IF WE ARE EVER GOING TO PUT LEFTISM IN THE DUSTBIN OF HISTORY - WHERE IT BELONGS.

BECAUSE POSTMODERN LEFTISM RUNS INTERFERENCE FOR ISLAMISM, AND BECAUSE ITS POLICIES ON TAXES AND REDISTRIBUTION AND CLIMATE CHANGE DESTROY ECONOMIC GROWTH, ENDING POVERTY AND DEFEATING GLOBAL JIHAD DEPEND ON US FIRST ERADICATING LEFTISM AS AN EFFECTIVE POLITICAL MOVEMENT.

THE SURVIVAL OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION DEPENDS ON THIS, AND NOW MORE THAN EVER.

We Do Not Need To Ban The Religion of Islam - We Merely Need to Enforce Our Existing Laws

The laws are already in place to deal with Islam.

1) The stoning to death of apostates is against the First Amendment protection for Freedom of Speech/Conscience - preaching for the stoning to death of Apostates is preaching against the First Amendment. The First Amendment is the foundational Right upon which all our other rights are based, and therefore, preaching against the First Amendment is Sedition.

2) preaching the stoning of gays is a hate crime

3) preaching the subjugation of women, wherein women are deemed to be the property of men, is advocating Slavery

4) preaching Jihad against the Infidel is Sedition

5) preaching the use of Zakat as a part of the fundamental economic system of the United States is a violation of the First Amendment, separation of Church and State - so, once again, preaching in support of Zakat is Sedition.

6) Preaching a Dhimmi Tax is advocating racketeering.

If we were to, as a nation, acknowledge all these violations of law and enforce the laws together, we could close any Mosque in the United States which preached any of these fundamental tenets of Islam.

Acknowledging the reality of how these tenets function together would mean we could shut every mosque in the United States which is financially or ideologically related to any other mosque which also preaches these tenets. RICO allows for us to do that.

If we took our laws seriously, we would not have to add a Constitutional Amendment to do away with Islam.

Islam has not invented new evil. It has, however, institutionalized evil and given evil the "legitimacy" afforded to a major religion.

Islam advocates murder, it advocates slavery, and it advocates sedition.

Imagine if another powerful institution in the United States did these things.

Imagine for instance, that Fox News decided to start advocating the stoning to death of Muslims.

Imagine that Fox News systematically endorsed the enforced second-class citizenship of Muslims (in the manner of what Muslims do to women).

Imagine if Fox News said that non-Muslims owned Muslims, and Muslims could only marry, go to school, leave the house, drive, if permitted to do so by a non-Muslim.

Imagine if Fox News Chief Rupert Murdoch advocated that Muslims should not be allowed to show their faces in public, and directed all his news outlets to teach that a Muslim's voice was only worth half that of a non-Muslim in any legal manner.

Imagine if Fox News systematically, as a matter of Corporate Policy, advocated the Jihad-type murder of Muslims who refused to convert to Christianity or be subjugated as Dhimmis.

Would the United States Government not rightly intervene if a powerful institution were to advocate such ideas as a matter of top-down policy? Would not such an Institution, be it Academic, Media Outlet, Religion, or Governmental Entity, be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law?

So it ought to be with Islam. Advocating murder, slavery, and war against ones fellow countrymen as a matter of policy ought to be quite enough to prove that Islam is in violation of the laws of the United States. We do not need to come up with new laws to cover old crimes. And, we should never succumb to the lie that a religion ought to be afforded any leniency in advocating crime, simply because it is a religion.

Bird droppings cause power cut in thousands of homes.

(BTW: IT'S TIME THEY DID A 3D REMAKE OF HITCHCOCK'S "THE BIRDS". THERE. I SAID IT. SOON YOU WILL READ ABOUT IT.)

WHY HASN'T THE TRANSITION TO DEMOCRACY IN EGYPT AND LIBYA UNFOLDED THE WAY IT DID IN POLAND?

THIS IS HOW TRANSITIONS FROM TYRANNY TO DEMOCRACY SHOULD PROCEED:

They were once bitter foes: Lech Walesa, the pro-democracy activist, and Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski, the communist leader who imprisoned Walesa for 11 months during a harsh martial law crackdown in 1981.

In a sign of their reconciliation, Walesa visited the ailing 88-year-old Jaruzelski over the weekend, shaking hands with his former jailer who lay weakened in a Warsaw hospital with cancer and pneumonia.

"Get well, General," Walesa said above a photograph of the meeting posted on his website. The daily tabloid Fakt carried the picture on its front page on Monday and declared it "historic."
Walesa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983, but his wife Danuta and son Bogdan traveled to Oslo to receive it because Walesa feared that Jaruzelski's government would not let him back into the country if he left.In 1989, negotiations allowed for the peaceful transfer of power from Jaruzelski's team to Solidarity. Jaruzelski stayed on briefly as the first president under democracy, but was replaced by Walesa in a 1990 general election.

... Since then their ties have been civil, a reflection of the peaceful transition Poland made from communism to democracy.

THE REASON LIBYA AND EGYPT AREN'T GOING AS SMOOTHLY AS POLAND IS SIMPLE: ISLAM.

EGYPT AND LIBYA WILL UNFOLD LIKE IRAN, NOT POLAND - AND ISLAM IS WHY.

OBAMA GOT THE SCIENCE WRONG WHEN HE ATTACKED PERRY WITH REGARD TO THE FIRES

MEXICAN GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL: THERE'S PROOF MAYANS HAD CONTCT WITH EXTRA-TERRESTRIALS

A new documentary about Mayan civilization will provide evidence of extraterrestrial contact with the ancient culture, according to a Mexican government official and the film's producer.

"Revelations of the Mayans 2012 and Beyond," currently in production, will claim the Mayans had contact with extraterrestrials, producer Raul Julia-Levy revealed to TheWrap.

MAYBE THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIALS TOOK THEM AWAY AND THAT'S WHY THEY SEEM TO HAVE DISAPPEARED?

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE "EVIDENCE".

GUARDS OF ERDOGAN CLASH WITH UN GUARDS

A brawl between 2 bad sides broke out at the UN building last Friday:

Security guards for Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan fought with UN guards at the annual UN summit last week when the Turkish leader tried to get in to see the historic Palestinian application speech.

One UN guard was taken to hospital, UN sources said on Monday. [...]

Erdogan had been at a meeting on a level above the UN General Assembly hall when he heard Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was about to give his speech to back the historic application.

According to the Turtle Bay blog on events at the United Nations, Erdogan rushed to get into the meeting but his entourage was told they could not use the exit they were trying to get through.

'The Turkish guards demanded that their president be allowed to pass and allegedly pushed the UN security guards. The UN guards pushed back and the Turks apparently began swinging,' Turtle Bay said.

They tried to keep quiet about this, but if it were a clash between UN and Israeli officials, don't be surprised if it did get publicized. What a most despicable bunch those Turkish delegates and their premier are, and the UN officials are no better.

FATHER AND INFANT KILLED IN CAR CRASH CAUSED BY MUSLIM RIOTS

What makes this case most disturbing is that the Israeli police attempted a cover up of how terrorist aspects were involved (Hat tip: The Blaze). As this article on Ynet tells:

“It’s very grave that [a possible cover up] comes at the expense of a grieving family.”

Those officials who attempted any cover up must resign immediately and owe a serious apology to the family involved for their offense.

MEDIA ELITE AND ARTWORLD GLITTERATI GETTING READY TO CELEBRATE ISLAMIC ART

THE ELITES OF THE MEDIA AND ART-WORLD ARE LIKE THEIR COMRADES IN HOLLYWOOD:

THEY ARE MOSTLY SHAMELESS LEFTISTS AND APPEASERS WHO THINK THAT THEIR POSTMODERNISM IS CHIC AND SHOWS THEY ARE INTELLIGENT.

AND THEY WILL SOON HAVE ANOTHER PLACE AT WHICH TO WORSHIP AT THE ALTAR OF ANTI-WESTERNISM.

THIS IS LIKE MOUNTING A SHOW PRAISING NATIONAL SOCIALIST ART AND ARCHITECTURE DURING WW2.

IT'S SICKENING.

DESPITE WHAT THEY MAY THINK OF THEMSELVES, THEY ARE NOT MORE ERUDITE AESTHETICALLY THAN THE REST OF US; THEY ARE JUST DUPES WHO - FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES - MIGHT AS WELL BE ON THE OTHER SIDE.

15 KILLED IN FILIPINO-AL QAEDA CLASH

NOW TELL ME WHAT THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE JOOOOOOZE OR THE NEOCONS OR THE LIKUD OR THE GOP OR BUSHCHENEYHALLIBURTONGITMO:

Suspected Muslim militants attacked government troops guarding a school construction site in a rebel stronghold in the southern Philippines on Sunday, igniting a clash that killed 13 gunmen and two marines, a marine commander said.

About 50 gunmen attacked two marine detachments in hilly Talipao town in Sulu province at dawn, setting off two hours of fierce fighting that killed 13 suspected militants and two marines, marine commander Col. Romeo Tanalgo said. Six other military personnel were wounded before the gunmen split and withdrew into the forest, he said.

The attackers were likely young Muslim militants trained by the notoriously violent Abu Sayyaf, an Al Qaeda-linked group regarded as a terrorist organization by the United States and the Philippines, and radical members of a larger rebel group, the Moro National Liberation Front, which also has a presence in the impoverished, far-flung community, military officials said.

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE JOOOOOOZE OR THE NEOCONS OR THE LIKUD OR THE GOP OR BUSHCHENEYHALLIBURTONGITMO.

IT'S THE JIHAD, STUPID!

OZ DOCS ISOLATE GENE THAT CONTROLS INSULIN

Australian scientists have discovered that a single gene controls a very complex process, apparently forming the crucial link between eating a high fat diet and developing diabetes.

Compounds are already being developed for blocking the gene—known as Id1—as it has known adverse effects in cancer. This drug development work would very much shorten the path from discovery to prospective treatment in the case of diabetes.

... PhD scholar Mia Akerfeldt and Dr Ross Laybutt from Sydney’s Garvan Institute of Medical Research have found that Id1 appears to be the master regulator of other genes in a beta cell, and it is ‘switched on’ when people consume a high fat diet. This finding is reported in the journal Diabetes, now online.

“We’re saying that Id1 is the molecular link between environmental factors, such as high fat diet, and beta cell dysfunction,” said Dr Laybutt.

“Not only does the presence of Id1 appear to initiate all the other gene expression changes that take place in dysfunctional beta cells, its absence completely protects the beta cell.”

“We’ve demonstrated our finding in animal models and cell culture, and we’ve also shown that pancreatic tissue from diabetic people expresses Id1.”

FASTER PLEASE!

HMMM... CIA HQ IN KABUL ATTACKED

HMMM... THE ISI STRIKES AGAIN??? REUTERS:

Militants attacked a U.S. compound in Kabul that is believed to include a major CIA office for Afghanistan, according to news reports and official sources.

... Two weeks ago, militants launched an assault against the U.S. embassy and NATO headquarters in Kabul. U.S. officials blamed those attacks on the Haqqani network, a group of Afghan militants based in Pakistan's tribal areas.

U.S. officials said there was intelligence, including intercepted phone calls, suggesting those attackers were in communication with people connected to Pakistan's principal spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence directorate.

RTWT.

PAKISTAN AND IRAN ARE AT WAR WITH US. THEY ATTACK US THROUGH SURROGATES.

China About To Collapse? The Price of Land in Beijing Slumped 73% In August

From Al Fin (via Bloomberg):

“We’re reaching a tipping point where land sales are dropping much faster than before, developers are losing more access to bank financing, and housing prices are showing weakness,” Nomura’s Zhang said in an interview in Beijing yesterday.

...The price of land in Beijing slumped 76 percent in August from a month earlier, while in Guangzhou it plummeted 53 percent, according to Soufun. Land auction failures surged 242 percent in the first seven months of this year because of government curbs on the property market, the Beijing Times reported Aug. 3.

...Funding problems are just “the tip of the iceberg” and “sharp declines in property sales and prices are likely in the next two to three months,” said Shen Jianguang, an economist at Mizuho Securities Asia Ltd. in Hong Kong.

...“The risk of China replaying the hard landing of 2008 is increasing as the property sector cools and exports weaken,” Shen said. “ I fear that once the real economy deteriorates and officials do loosen policies, it will already be too late.” _Bloomberg

Al Fin comment:

When global markets contracted in the 2008 crash, China lost a huge portion of its export income. Without its economic mainstay, China was forced to create an artificial real estate boom inside its own borders, to boost GDP and support employment. China's ongoing construction and real estate bubble has consumed a huge proportion of global commodities production -- helping to support the economies of commodities producing nations.

MR. SMITH CUTS THE CORE OF WASHINGTON'S MENDACIOUS SPENDING SHPIEL

DR. HELEN SMITH'S FATHER:

"... when they talk about taxes it’s always for teachers, firemen, and police — but when they spend your taxes, it always seems to go to some guy in a leather chair downtown you never heard of.

Let me add:

DESPITE WHAT THE LIBERALS TELL YOU, SENDING MORE MONEY TO DC TO BE SPENT BY CAREER POLITICIANS AND THEIR LOBBYIST FRIENDS ISN'T THE SOLUTION; IT'S THE PROBLEM.

We shouldn't let the FED print more money for the career politicians and their lobbyist friends either!

And we shouldn't let the career politicians and their lobbyist friends borrow anymore either.

NOT UNTIL THEY CUT THE BUDGET TO 2004 LEVELS.

PROOF CO2PHOBIA IS BS: AS "MAN-MADE" CO2 HAS INCREASED, WEATHER-RELATED FATALITIES HAVE ACTUALLY DECREASED

• THE AGW FREAKS AND CLIMATE ALARMISTS USED TO SCREAM THAT WE WERE HEADED FOR A SUPER-HEATED GLOBAL CLIMATE.

• AS RECENT COOLING AND HARSH WINTERS HAVE COME TO THE FORE, AND THAT NIGHTMARE FADED, THE ALARMISTS STARTED TO SCREAM THAT MAN-MADE GREENHOUSE GASES WOULD NOT JUST TURN THE EARTH INTO A SUPER-HEATED GREENHOUSE, BUT MAKE ALL WEATHER MORE EXTREME.

HERE'S PROOF THAT THE "CO2 MAKES GLOBAL CLIMATE MORE EXTREME" MEME IS TOTAL BULLSHIT, TOO:

WUWT:

Aggregate mortality attributed to all extreme weather events globally has declined by more than 90% since the 1920s, in spite of a four-fold rise in population and much more complete reporting of such events. The aggregate mortality rate declined by 98%, largely due to decreased mortality in three main areas:

• Deaths and death rates from droughts, which were responsible for approximately 60% of cumulative deaths due to extreme weather events from 1900–2010, are more than 99.9% lower than in the 1920s.
• Deaths and death rates for floods, responsible for over 30% of cumulative extreme weather deaths, have declined by over 98% since the 1930s.
• Deaths and death rates for storms (i.e. hurricanes, cyclones, tornados, typhoons), responsible for around 7% of extreme weather deaths from 1900–2008, declined by more than 55% since the 1970s.

To put the public health impact of extreme weather events into context, cumulatively they now contribute only 0.07% to global mortality.

CO2PHOBIA IS AND ALWAYS WAS TFBS.

CO2PHOBIA IS AND ALWAYS WAS POLITICAL PROPAGANDA DESIGNED BY LEFTISTS TO PROMOTE SOCIALISM AND HOBBLE THE 1ST WORLD.

IN FACT, CO2PHOBIA HAS HURT THE THIRD WORLD AND INCREASED POVERTY BY SLOWING GLOBAL INDUSTRIALIZATION.

THE QUICKEST AND SUREST WAY TO END THE GLOBAL RECESSION IS TO REPEAL ALL CO2PHOBIA LAWS AND FULLY EXPLOIT OUR NATURAL ENERGY RESOURCES.

THIS WILL BRING DOWN THE COST OF ENERGY AND LOWER FOOD PRICES AND THE PRICES OF GOODS GLOBALLY.

THE LONGER WE WAIT, THE DEEPER WILL BE THEE RECESSION.

BOTTOM-LINE:

IF WE REALLY WANT TO END POVERTY, THEN WE HAVE TO END CO2PHOBIA.

QUESTION: IF PALESTINIANS REALLY WANT AND DESERVE A STATE, THEN WHY DIDN'T THEY ASK FOR ONE BEFORE 1967?

ARABS LIVED IN GAZA AND THE SO-CALLED WEST BANK BEFORE 1967.

FROM 1919 TO 1948 GAZA AND THE WEST BANK WERE BRITISH CONTROLLED. FROM 1948, GAZA WAS CONTROLLED BY EGYPT, AND THE SO-CALLED WEST BANK WAS CONTROLLED BY JORDAN - A COUNTRY INVENTED BY THE BRITISH.

ARABS LIVING IN GAZA AND THE WEST BANK DIDN'T EVER DEMAND THEIR OWN COUNTRY BACK THEN.

THEY HAVE ONLY DEMANDED AN INDEPENDENT PALESTINIAN SINCE 1967.

UP UNTIL THEN IT WAS CLEAR THAT THE PALESTINIAN CAUSE WAS PART OF THE OVERALL ARAB EFFORT TO EXPEL JEWS FROM THE ENTIRE HOLY LAND - SOMETHING THEY'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO FOR A LONG LONG TIME.

AS A MATTER OF FACT - SO LITTLE DID THE ARABS CARE ABOUT FOR NATIONALITY -- AS OPPOSED TO THE UMAH AND PAN-ARABISM (WHICH TRANSCENDS NATIONHOOD) -- THAT FROM THE TIME NASSER AND HIS MILITARY JUNTA OVERTHREW THE KING OF EGYPT UNTIL RECENTLY, ARAB DICTATORS FROM NASSER TO SADDAM AND ASSAD THE ELDER ALL TRIED TO FORM A "UNITED ARAB REPUBLIC" OF ONE SORT OR ANOTHER, AND NOT A NATION-STATE FOR EVERY LOCAL BUNCH OF ARABS.

WIKI:

In the 1940s, rulers such as Abdullah I of Jordan and Nuri as-Said of Iraq sought to create an expanded Arab empire constructed out of the smaller nation-states that had been created in the mandate period. Abdullah's dream was to be king of a Greater Syria while as-Said's dream was for a Fertile Crescent Federation. These aspirations, however, were unpopular and met with suspicion in the countries they sought to conquer. The creation of the Arab League and its insistence on the territorial integrity and respect for sovereignty of each member state, the assassination of Abdullah, and the 14 July Revolution weakened the political feasibility of these ideas.^[7]

During much of the 20th century, the rivalry between Syria and Nasser in Egypt for who would lead the union undermined the effort of forming a united Arab state.^[47] In 1958, Egypt and Syria temporarily joined to create the United Arab Republic. It was accompanied by attempts to include Iraq and North Yemen in the union. This very exercise, while fostering Egypt's position at the centre of Arab politics, led to the weakening of Syria.

With the Iraqi revolution taking place in the same year, Western powers feared the fallouts of a powerful Arab nationalism in the region. Foreign powers were not only concerned about the possible spread of such revolutionary movements in other Arab states, but also worried about losing the control and monopoly over the region's natural oil resources. However, due to discontent over the hegemony of Egypt and after a coup in Syria that introduced a more radical government to power, the United Arab Republic collapsed in 1961. The term United Arab Republic continued to be used in Egypt until 1971, after the death of Nasser.

THE QUEST FOR A NATION FOR THE SO-CALLED PALESTINIAN ARABS IS A RUSE. A HOAX. A TACTIC. MERELY PART OF THE ARAB AND MUSLIM EFFORT TO MAKE THE HOLY LAND JUDENREIN.

AND FREE OF CHRISTIANS TOO. A HUNDRED THOUSAND HAVE ALREADY FLED POST-MUBARAK EGYPT.

SINCE 1900, MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS HAVE FLED THE MUSLIM CONTROLLED PARTS OF HOLY LAND. (MORE HERE.)

MEN OF GOODWILL SHALL FIGHT THOSE WHO TRY TO ACCOMPLISH THIS TOOTH AND NAIL - OVER EVERY SQUARE INCH.

New David Goldman book discusses how Muslim world is in decline

Big Peace reports that writer David Goldman has come out with a new book called "How Civilizations Die (and why Islam is Dying Too)" which tells that the Islamic world's birthrate is decaying faster than the western world is, and aging in the process. Not only that, but they could be on the train wreck path to a case of starvation and desolation.

That doesn't exactly suggest good news, though, because as they age, their self-inflicted damage could also motivate aggressive behavior, provoked by the belief that they'll never have the opportunity to wage jihad again. And that's definitely something to worry about. The book is definitely recommended reading.

WHAT IF A TEA PARTIER SCREAMED AT ONE OF OBAMA'S DAUGHTERS, "YOUR MOTHER'S A WHORE!"

ENOUGH BULLSHIT ALREADY: FIXING THE FEDERAL BUDGET IS ACTUALLY EASY!

WE CAN SOLVE THE FEDERAL SPENDING PROBLEMS - ALL THE SOLUTIONS ARE ACTUALLY ALREADY ON-THE-TABLE.

ALL WE NEED IS RESOLVE. HERE'S WHAT WE CAN DO:

1 - CUT DISCRETIONARY SPENDING TO 2004 LEVELS.

2- GRADUALLY RAISE THE RETIREMENT AGE TO 69.

3 - ENACT THE RYAN PLAN ON MEDICARE.

4 - ENACT THE BOWLES-SIMPSON TAX REFORMS.

5 - ABOLISH THE DEPARTMENTS OF ENERGY AND EDUCATION AND ELIMINATE SUBSIDIES TO THE SO-CALLED "GREEN ECONOMY" AND OTHER CORPORATE WELFARE.

6 - LIBERATE ENERGY EXPLORATION IN THE USA FROM CO2PHOBIC REGULATIONS AND LIMITATIONS AND FULLY EXPLOIT COAL. DENY FEDERAL AID TO STATES THAT PROHIBIT ENERGY EXPLOITATION.

7 - END AID TO SO-CALLED PALESTINIANS, AND TO THE UN, TO ALL NON-ALLIES, AND TO ALL NATIONS WHOSE LAWS ENSHRINE SOCIALISM, MISOGYNY, ANTI-ZIONISM, OR RACISM.

DONE.

THEY TOLD ME IF I VOTED FOR MCCAIN THAT POLICE WOULD BE CRACKING DOWN ON ANTI-WALL STREET PROTESTERS, AND THEY WERE RIGHT:

ARAB SPRING : LIBERTY & DEMOCRACY:: RUSSIAN REVOLUTION : LIBERTY & DEMOCRACY

THE ARAB SPRING IS TO LIBERTY AS THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION WAS TO DEMOCRACY:

Russia's Marxist revolution didn't replace an aristocracy with a democracy.

Russia's Marxist revolution replaced the dictatorship of the aristocracy with the dictatorship of the proletarian - and that really meant the dictatorship of the Communist Party and that really meant the dictatorship of the politburo.

The so-called "Arab Spring" which seems to have toppled or is toppling dictators in Syria, Egypt, Libya and Tunisia is similarly no victory for democracy.

The rebels do not seek to replace their tyrants with democracy and pluralism and liberty. They seek to replace their secularized tyrants with islamicized ones who will rule according to sharia - and obeisance to iran.

This is a step backward and not progress.

The Arabs will not make progress until they abandon islam - which is antithetical to and incompatible democracy and liberty and pluralism.

This won't happen until the West get its courage up and embarks on enlightening Muslims all over the world about their faith, and proves to them its falseness.

HOW?

SIMPLE: By showing them that the koran is an error-filled hodgepodge of mis-truths, falsehoods and lies and a recipe for poverty and war, and their prophet a pedophile, a misogynist, and terrorist and a genocidal murderer who committed crimes against humanity and inspire countless others to follow suit.

THE GLOBAL WAR WE ARE NOW IN IS NOT ABOUT OUR SURVIVAL, ALONE.

IT'S ABOUT THE SURVIVAL OF THE HUMAN RACE - AND WHETHER OR NOT WE SHALL DESCEND INTO 1000 YEARS OF DARKNESS.

IF ISLAM WINS, THEN THE AGE OF DARKNESS BEGINS.

HERE'S WHY THE ROP STRATEGY IS HALF-ASSED AND DOOMED TO FAIL

The ROP strategy is simple: call Islam the ROP in an effort to isolate the radical/militant elements.

It is doomed to fail because the so-called radical/militant elements are not apostates; they are the true muslims following true islam - the islam of Mohamed.

The so-called muslim moderates are the true apostates.

IOW: if the salafists and wahhabists and the binladenists are apostates, then Mohamed had to be an apostate, and muslims can't believe that and remain muslims.

Muslims revere Mohamed and can't be lured by the West to reject those who emulate him.

Instead of making this disingenuous argument - that islam is at its core a ROP and the islamists apostates - we should be arguing the truth: that Mohamed was and his creed is evil, martial misogynistic, pedophilic and genocidal, and always have been.

And that muslims must leave islam if they reject Binladenism and Salafism and Wahhabism.

• We prove this by pointing out the life of Mohamed.

• We prove this by pointing out the truth about the koran: that it is not revelation or perfect, but an error-plagued mistake-riven false credo written by flawed, ignorant, evil violent misogynistic men.

BRITISH TIMES ATLAS OVERSTATES GREENLAND'S GLACIAL MELTING BY 15,000%!

NYTIMES - (EXCERPT):

“Fiasco” was the word chosen by one scientist in an e-mail to the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo., alerting his colleagues to erroneous claims made by the publishers of the atlas (whose name derives from The Times of London) about the speed at which Greenland’s glaciers are melting.

He also feared that a map in the atlas, along with news accounts repeating an error in the news release, could pull climate scientists into another vortex of damaging controversy.

The news release, echoed by the news media, claimed that Greenland had lost 15 percent of its permanent ice cover from 1999 to 2011.

That translates to 125,000 cubic miles, according to a rough calculation by Etienne Berthier, a glaciologist with the University of Toulouse, enough melted ice to raise sea levels three to five feet.

The corresponding map in the atlas itself indicated that significant portions of Greenland’s coastline had become ice-free.

Glaciologists, previously bruised by an exaggerated claim about the melting of Himalayan glaciers in a 2007 United Nations report that became fodder for global warming skeptics, mobilized as a truth squad.

On blogs, on radio programs and in newspaper columns, they stated emphatically that Greenland has not lost 15 percent of its ice cover in recent years.

The retreat, they said, is more like one-tenth of 1 percent.

RTWT!!!!!!!

1/1OTH OF 1% VERSUS 15%/

HMMMMMM...... THAT'S A HUGE ERROR - OVERSTATING MELTING BY 15,000%.

YUP: FIFTEEN-THOUSAND PERCENTAGE POINTS OFF.

THEY OVERSTATED MELTING BY 150X!

THAT'S A COLOSSAL ERROR WHICH CAN ONLY BE EXPLAINED AS HAVING BEEN "TOO GOOD TO CHECK" FOR THE LEFT-WING CO2PHOBIC ASSHOLES RUNNING THE ATLAS.

THEY DESERVE TO BE FIRED.

NETANYAHU RESPONDS TO CLINTON

Benjamin Netanyahu has made a reply to Bill Clinton's one-sided accusation that he killed the "peace process" (via Hot Air Headlines):

“I respectfully disagree,” Netanyahu said. “The Palestinians are basically trying to shortcut this. They’re trying to get a state without giving us peace, without giving us security.”

“President Clinton knows very well [that] in 2000 at Camp David … who really made the generous offer and the Palestinians refused to come,” he said. “I’m sure that President Bush can tell you what happened at Camp David a few years later, when another Israeli prime minister made a generous offer, and the Palestinians refused to come.”

When asked if he had moved the goalposts, Netanyahu said, “Not at all.”

All Clinton is doing is distortion, to say nothing of an inability to bring himself to lay any blame at the feet of the PLO.

ISLAM'S ENDLESS INTERNECINE WAR: OTTOMAN VERSUS PERSIAN AND SHIA VERSUS SUNNI AND SUFI.... AND WHAT SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT

ISLAM HAS BEEN AT WAR WITH NON-MUSLIMS A FROM THE DAY MOHAMED FIRST CLAIMED TO HAVE SPOKEN WITH GABRIEL.

NOT TOO LONG AFTER THAT, ISLAM WENT TO WAR WITH OTHER MUSLIMS.

ISLAM HAS KILLED MORE PEOPLE THAN ANY OTHER IDEOLOGY.

PROOF/LINKS HERE AND MORE HERE.

(OF COURSE, ISLAM HAS HAD MORE TIME THAN SOCIALISM, WHICH IS IN SECOND PLACE.)

OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, ISLAM HAS ONCE AGAIN PICKED UP THE PACE OF KILLING ON ALL FRONTS:

• IN ALGERIA, ISLAMIC WARS HAVE RECENTLY KILLED 250,000 MUSLIMS.
  

• HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF NON-MUSLIM AFRICANS HAVE BEEN KILLED BY MUSLIMS IN AFRICA.

• IN SE ASIA TENS OF THOUSANDS OF NON-MUSLIMS HAVE BEEN KILLED JUST IN THE LAST FEW DECADES.

• SINCE 2001, IN CENTRAL ASIA, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MUSLIMS HAVE BEEN SLAUGHTERED BY OTHER MUSLIMS.

• OVER THE LAST DECADE, IN THE MIDDLE EAST, THE NUMBER OF MUSLIMS KILLED BY OTHER MUSLIMS DWARFS THE NUMBER KILLED BY NON-MUSLIMS - IT AIN'T EVEN CLOSE.

• SYRIA HAS KILLED MORE MUSLIMS IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS THAN ISRAEL HAS IN THE LAST DECADE.

• THIS YEAR, LIBYAN MUSLIMS AND YEMENI MUSLIMS ARE KILLING EACH OTHER AS FAST AS THEY CAN.

• SINCE AHMADINEJAD WAS "RE-ELECTED", IRANIAN ISLAMO-THUGS HAVE KILLED MORE IRANIANS THAN ANYONE SINCE SADDAM
  

SO....

SO WHEN I READ ABOUT ISLAMIST TURKEY INTERCEPTING ARMS HEADED FOR SYRIA (IN TODAY'S NEWS) I DO NOT THINK TURKEY IS A PEACE-MAKER.

I SEE TURKEY AS DEFENDING THEIR OWN BRAND OF TURKO-ISLAMO-HEGEMONY - AGAINST IRANIAN-ISLAMO-HEGEMONY.

IN FACT, THE SO-CALLED "ARAB SPRING" ISN'T AN ARAB UPRISING AT ALL.

IN EGYPT AND LIBYA AND SYRIA, THE HEIGHTENED STRIFE IS A RESULT OF TURKEY COMPETING AGAINST IRAN FOR DOMINATION OF ISLAM. THEY ARE JUST USING SURROGATES.

THE ARAB MUSLIMS AND THE PERSIAN MUSLIMS AND THE TURKISH MUSLIMS HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF KILLING EACH OTHER AS THEY VIE FOR CONTROL OVER THE ISLAMIC WORLD AND BEYOND.

THE REAL SOLUTION ISN'T PICKING ONE SIDE; THE SOLUTION IS ERADICATING ISLAM.

I AM NOT ADVOCATING ERADICATING MUSLIMS, BUT DISCREDITING ISLAM AND LIBERATING MUSLIMS FROM THE GENOCIDAL AND ANTI-HUMAN IDEOLOGY - AS GWATHROP AND THIS HAVE PREVIOUSLY ARGUED.

REPEAT:

I AM NOT ADVOCATING ERADICATING MUSLIMS - QUITE THE OPPOSITE; I AM ARGUING THAT THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE THEM FROM INTERNECINE GENOCIDE IS BY DISCREDITING ISLAM AND CONVERTING THEM TO ANOTHER FAITH OR ATHEISM.

UNDER OBAMA, THE WEST IS FOLLOWING ANOTHER PATH.

BY FORCING NATO TO GET INVOLVED IN THE LIBYAN "REVOLT", OBAMA HAS REVEALED THAT THE CURRENT POLICY OF THE WEST IS TO BACK TURKEY OVER IRAN IN THIS INTERNECINE WAR - AS IF TURKEY WAS THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS.

THIS IS A SHORT-SIGHTED POLICY THAT SEEKS TO AVOID WHAT I FEEL IS INEVITABLE.

PERHAPS WESTERN LEADERS SECRETLY LIKE THE CURRENT INTERNECINE WARS THE WAY THEY DID THE IRAN-IRAQ WAR?

AS IRANIANS AND IRAQIS WERE KILLED BY THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS - AS A RESULT OF THE INTERNECINE CONFLICT BETWEEN THEIR ISLAMIST AND BAATHIST LEADERS, KISSINGER SAID: "TOO BAD THEY BOTH CAN'T LOSE."

WELL, THEY CAN'T.

THAT'S WHY I FEEL THAT DELAYING A DIRECT ASSAULT ON ISLAMISM ONLY MAKES THE INEVITABLE CONFLICT MORE LIKELY TO BE A MUCH MUCH WORSE CONFLICT - BECAUSE SOON IRAN WILL HAVE NUKES.

I FEEL WE NEED TO PRE-EMPTIVELY ATTACK IRAN ASAP - AS IN "NOW!"

THIS WOULD SPEED THE COLLAPSE OF HIZBALLAH AND HAMAS AND THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD AND SPEED THE ARRIVAL OF PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

AND THEN THE WEST SHOULD USE REASON AND TRUTH AND HISTORY TO DISCREDIT ISLAM BY DISCREDITING THE KORAN, SO THAT THEN MUSLIMS WOULD NO MORE CHOOSE TO CONTINUE TO BE MUSLIMS THAN TODAY'S GERMANS WOULD CHOOSE TO ONCE AGAIN BECOME NAZIS.

MYTHS ABOUT MILLIONAIRES

From the Washington Post, notice the following two myths:

3. Millionaires pay proportionately less income tax than poorer people.

In a speech on Monday, Obama said raising taxes on millionaires isn’t class warfare, but “math.” His math may be off: According to the IRS, those with adjusted gross incomes of more than $1 million paid an average of 23.3 percent in federal income taxes in 2008; those earning between $100,000 and $200,000 paid 12.7 percent; and those earning between $50,000 and $100,000 paid 8.9 percent. Half of American families don’t make enough money to pay income taxes at all....

[...]

5. Obama’s “millionaires’ tax” won’t seriously limit investment.

That’s the line of reasoning that the administration is using. On Monday, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told reporters that the president’s plan wouldn’t hurt growth. “I am very confident that the modest changes we’re suggesting in terms of revenues . . . would make the economy stronger in the long term, not weaker in the long term,” he said.

Geithner’s confidence is somewhat misplaced. According to a 2001 congressional study that confirmed a basic tenet of macroeconomics, “each $1 of marginal tax rate cuts would save the private economy at least $1.25 as deadweight losses fall and economic efficiency increases.” Taxes distort investment decisions. Why throw money into productive assets — corporate securities, a rental property or new employees for a small business — if the income they generate will be taxed away?

Taxes on the rich are taxes on people who create jobs. And jobs are an unalloyed good thing for an economy. Excessively taxing the capital that makes the economy go is poor public policy. And we have a recent example of how the opposite works well: Unemployment declined by a third in the four years after the Bush tax cuts were fully implemented in 2003, dropping to 4.2 percent from 6.2 percent. Meanwhile, federal revenue increased 44 percent in those years. If these tax cuts put people to work and generated money for the government, shouldn’t Obama consider the possibility that tax increases should be avoided?

Obama will, of course, continue to push his tax-the-rich theme. He is trying to play the populist.

HOORAY FOR BOLLYWOOD:

Ten years and two wars after 9/11, America’s struggle against Islamist terrorism is nowhere close to succeeding. And there is no better admission of failure than new airport security procedures to grope and fondle Americans. But if a superpower like America can’t vanquish this scourge, is there any force in the world that can?

There might well be: Bollywood, India’s flamboyant film industry. Just as the Beatles and Rock n’ Roll helped bring down the Kremlin, similarly, Bollywood might yet prove to be the undoing of Osama bin Laden and his noxious brand of Islamic fundamentalism.
