Charity or Subversive Behavior

An artical from Newsday.com points out how certrain supposedly dogooders are aiding ILLEGALS. The question is are they being charitable or are they aiding in breaking the law?

Immigration bill outrages activists
They say measure that’s passed House could send them to jail for helping people who are undocumented

December 30, 2005

A tough new illegal immigration bill that just cleared the U.S. House of Representatives this month has outraged advocate groups and church relief agencies who fear their work with new immigrants could become illegal if the measure passes the Senate and becomes law.

The bill, co-sponsored by Rep. Peter King (R-Seaford), proposes erecting a 698-mile wall across one-third of the U.S.-Mexico border, turning illegal immigrants into felons and making it a felony to shield or offer support to undocumented immigrants.

That provision is unnerving organizations such as Catholic Charities immigrant services in the Diocese of Rockville Centre.

"We are one of two departments mandated by the church to help the stranger," said the agency's head, Carmen Maquilon, adding that the mandate also comes from Bible passages such as Matthew 25. "It comes from Rome. It's almost the essence of what our department stands for."

Critics, including the National Immigration Forum in Washington, D.C., call the bill the harshest piece of anti-immigrant legislation in 70 years. Supporters say it would help bring under control what some call anarchy at the border that has allowed the number of undocumented immigrants to swell to 11 million, including 100,000 on Long Island, according to immigration experts.

Msgr. Rollin Darbouze of Holy Innocents Church in Flatbush, a heavily Caribbean neighborhood, said he would not stop helping immigrants, legal or otherwise. That "would be inhuman. It would violate my creed as a religious leader." (HMM ... ADMITINNG HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE RULE OF LAW. CHARITABLE OR SUBVERSIVE?)

Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington said he had little sympathy for groups that help undocumented immigrants.

"These are people who are knowingly helping, knowingly promoting illegal immigration," he said. "The very people complaining about this are the very ones who helped bring about the illegal immigration problem in the first place" by offering them services.

King downplayed any thoughts of police or the FBI raiding churches or social service agencies looking for workers assisting undocumented immigrants. He said that is not the intention of the bill, which is aimed at people who help bring undocumented immigrants into the United States.

"Nobody is going to be going to churches locking people up," he said. "If they are facilitating immigrants coming into the country illegally, that's another thing."

But critics said the language of the bill is so broad it could affect thousands of church workers, private agency employees and even everyday citizens who assist undocumented immigrants. Workers who teach English classes, operate day laborer hiring centers or offer water to immigrants stumbling across the border clearly could be affected, said Michele Waslin of the National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic advocacy organization in Washington.

Violations "could involve taking your undocumented nanny to the store, to the doctor's appointment," Waslin added. The bill mentions penalties of up to 5 years to 20 years in prison, depending on whether the activity is for profit.

Chester County 'new market' for gangs
On a spring afternoon inside the downtown office of a West Chester attorney, a medium-built man wearing a black hood over his head emerged from a back room and fumbled his way to a seat behind a large wooden desk.

He identified himself only as "Hector," refusing to take off the mask.

Hector claimed to be part of a growing number of gang members living and working in the Chester County -- and by "working" he mostly means selling drugs.

In between bragging about gun battles with authorities in South America and Mexico -- one of which crippled his left hand -- and gangland murders, also overseas, the 42-year-old Colombia native touted Chester County as fertile ground for gang activity.

Gangs have claimed territories, Hector said, in places like Kennett Square, West Chester, Oxford and Phoenixville.

The "new market," as he called it, is ripe with money and youth to recruit as new members.

It may come as a surprise to some that in a county known for its wealth, pastoral beauty and conservative traditions, criminal organizations as notorious as street gangs could find ground to plant their roots.

But gang activity was among the topics of a 2003/2004 survey that included more than 16,000 students. Among those surveyed, 4.7 percent of sixth-graders, 7 percent of eighth-graders, 6.3 percent of high school sophomores and 5.3 percent of high school seniors said they had ever belonged to a gang.

News accounts show an increase in violent activity associated with gangs: a stabbing death in Kennett in March 2004 in which the alleged killer sported a gang-related tattoo that read, "Smile Now, Cry Later"; a knife fight between rival gangs at a Kennett Square mushroom house that left one man stabbed several times; a half dozen men from the county caught in amassive nation wide crackdown by the U.S. Justice Department on street gangs involved in the drug trade; and a late-night drive-by shooting in October that saw five men arrested and charged -- all members of a street gang, according to authorities.

Most chillingly, an FBI agent who specializes in gang activity told a Common Pleas Court judge during a hearing in a murder trial this year that, while monitoring organized criminal activity in Chester County, he had spoken with gang members on the street and at local high schools in New Garden, Avondale, Kennett Square and Oxford, among others.

Across the United States, gangs come in every race and ethnicity, and the same is true for Pennsylvania. However, in Chester County, during the past two years, Hispanic or Latino gangs have garnered the most attention.

With the county’s Latino population growing over the past decades, street gang organizers from Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore are finding places to start making their marks in the southern Chester County area.

Blessing or Curse

The year 2005 nopw closes and we look foward to the coming New Year of 2006. We have seen many catastrophies this last year and internetional political hot potatoes. The new hot topic other then the current war on terror and the democratic slander of the current administration is China.

Chinese president stresses commitment to peaceful development in New Year Address
Sat Dec 31 2005 09:22:59 ET

BEIJING Chinese President Hu Jintao reiterated China's strong commitment to peaceful development in his New Year Address broadcast Saturday to domestic and overseas audience via state TV and radio stations.

"Here, I would like to reiterate that China's development is peaceful development, opening development, cooperative development and harmonious development," Hu said.

"The Chinese people will develop ourselves by means of striving for a peaceful international environment, and promote world peace with our own development," Hu said in the address broadcast by China Radio International, China National Radio and China Central Television.
(HELP WITH THE ENVIORMENT? DOES THIS MEAN THAT THEY ARE GOING TO JOIN IN ON THE GLOBAL WARMING THEORY? ARE THEY GOING TO CURB THIER CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIIONS?)

He said the Chinese people are willing to join with peoples of all nations in the world to promote multilateralism, advance the development of economic globalization toward common prosperity, advocate democracy in international relations, respect the diversity of the world and push for the establishment of a new international political and economic order that is just and rational.
(WORLD ECONOMIC SITUATION? ARE THEY THEN GOING TO LET DEMOCRACY AND CAPITOLISM PROSPURE OR ARE THEY GOING TO DICTATE AND MAKE DEMANDS OF PAYMENT LIKE THEY DO WITH TAIWAN?)

He pledged that China will adhere to its fundamental national policy of opening to the outside world, continue to improve the investment environment and open the market, carry out international cooperation in a wide range of areas and seek to attain mutual benefits and win-win results with all countries in the world.
(OPEN TO OUTSIDE INVESTMENT? OR ARE THEY GOING TO CONTINUE WITH THE TRADE IMBALANCE THEY CURRENTLY MAINTAIN THROUGH MONETARY PRICE FIXING.)

He mentioned in particular that China will do its best to help developing countries accelerate development and help people suffering from war, poverty, illnesses and natural calamities in the world.
(AIDING DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. SOUNDS GREAT , BUT WILL THEY IMPOSE MILITARY STRONGHOLDS ON THEM AND CHINESE COMMUNISM? WHAT IS THE PRICE CHINA WILL EXRACT FOR THIER AID? ARE THEY GOING TO HELP NORTH KOREA AND THE STARVATION THAT IS HAPPENING THERE? WHERE WILL THEY SEND THIER TROOPS? ARE THEY GOING TO TAKE AN ACTIVE PART ON THE WAR ON TERRORISM OR ALLOW MORE ISLAMOFACIST TO STRENGTHEN THEIOR HOLD ON THE SOUTH WEST PROVINCES IN CHINA?)

Who's side are they on?

One really has to wonder who's side is the ACLU really on. With thier opposition to everthing that comes down the pike you have to really question thier motives and alledgiance.

Now they are convinced that conversation and questioning of certain people is unconstitutional.

From Michelle Malkin:

THE DO-NOTHING ACLU
By Michelle Malkin · December 29, 2005 10:54 AM
How many times have you heard civil liberties activists argue that national security profiling should be based on behavior, not race/ethnicity/nationality/national origin/religion?

That's the argument the ACLU makes again and again and again.

But if your B.S. detector starts going off full-tilt, you are not alone.

Truth is, the ACLU doesn't want behavior-based profiling, either. Case in point: the ACLU is challenging new TSA training to teach screeners to flush out terrorists through casual conversation. (Hat tip: Stop the ACLU.)

Via ABC News:

Security screeners at 40 major airports across the country will be trained next year to use casual conversation to flush out possible terrorists.
The Transportation Security Administration will first teach screeners what suspicious behaviors to look for in travelers. These can include nervousness, wearing a big coat in the summer or reluctance to make eye contact with law enforcement. Then, the screener will quiz passengers on their travel plans in hopes of spotting possible terrorists.

The security technique, called behavior detection or behavior-pattern recognition, is already in place at several major airports, including those in Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Miami and Houston. Behavior detection is a common practice among police officers and customs agents, who often engage arriving passengers they suspect in more detailed conversation. But the proposed program that will be put in place at airport security checkpoints nationwide adds a psychological dimension to the screening process.

Boston Logan International Airport began a pilot program for behavior screening in 2002. Shortly after 9/11, the airport brought in an Israeli security specialist who helped train Massachusetts police in behavior screening.

Currently, the TSA screeners do the initial risk assessment and then hand over any suspicious passengers to police for further questioning.

George Naccara, the federal security director at Logan, called the program "a good use of taxpayers' dollars." Screeners have not found anyone with terrorist connections but by looking for suspicious behavior have found drug dealers, illegal immigrants and people with outstanding arrest warrants.

The American Civil Liberties Union has warned that the screening technique could result in racial profiling.

"This is a code word for targeting brown-skinned males between ages 17 and 45 years. It's not only racial profiling, it's ethnic profiling," said Timothy Sparapani, who oversees privacy rights for the ACLU...


My question: Why is the TSA only starting this program now?! But I digress.

As I've noted before, the ACLU has filed suit against Boston Logan Airport officials to prevent them from using behaviorial profiling to detect security threats. The suit stems from a snit fit one ACLU official had when he was asked to produce ID by Boston Logan officials.

If the ACLU has its way, the interrogation methods used by Diana Dean--the Customs Agent whose questioning of a nervous and sweating young, brown-skinned male trying to cross the Washington state-Canada border unraveled al Qaeda's LAX Millenium plot and saved untold innocent lives--would be banned nationwide.

If the ACLU has its way, we'd have no profiling of any kind.

And no border security.

No immigration enforcement.

No information-sharing.

No counterterrorism surveillance.

The ACLU response to terrorism is: Do Nothing. Who needs enemies?

SOMBRA NEGRA

What happens when the judicial system fails? What happens when criminals get away with blatent violent crimes? I will tell you because it is true Vigilantism. Groups like the Sombra Negra form and take the law into thier own hands. Is this good? Perhaps. Is it bad, well only if you are a criminal. The ever so better then thou leftists here in the United States would have you believe that the Minute Man Project is a radical racist group of gun toteing rednecks who want to use Latino's as target practice. So far from the truth is this that I have to bring to your attention the Black Shadow. Sombra Negra, a group of mythical and very real police and military types in the central Americas who have been forced to take the law into thier own hands.

Crime in central America reached such a point that the courts wear afraid to punish let alone bring to court criminals and then those who were brought ended up bribing thier way free. Coehersion, bribary and blackmail made justice almost impossible. Thus law enfocement and military members went underground and took the law into thier own hands. Yes comparisons may be made about this and Americas history of the old west to a point. Many may feel or argue that Judge Roy Bean was bad, I argue that he delt swift and fair justice from his bar stool. A personality we could definately use today. Anyway back to topic, the Sombra Negra has taken the law rather powerfully into thier hands. They have groups like the Mara Salvatrucha wetting thier beds. This is why these punks are now in the United States. It is because they operate under the radar as ILLEGAL aliens and know that are legal system is going to be soft on them as these poor soles have had a troubled life in a third world nation where they fear for thier lives BECAUSE THEY ARE CRIMINALS!
Yes you liberal bleeding heart morons they are criminals and running from punishment in thier own country. They are not seeking asylum here but easy targets so that they can continue thier punk ways. Common sense dictates that if you have the option of faceing justice or fleeing to a place where you can continue youre criminal ways you would take the fleeing. Why face justice when you can come to America and continue to threaten, rape and murder at will.
These punks know that we are tied down with a legal system that even if caught tried and found guilty the chance of serving any real sentance beyond a couple years is nonexisitent.
Send them home, deport them you say. Hell yeah I agree, if deported bacjk to thier country they will face the justice of SOMBRA NEGRA, which they so justly deserve.

Google MARA SALVATRUCHA, read about these punks and then tell me they have a right to be here. Learn how they target the police and officials just for fun. Then tell me they deserve a chance to start anew here. Read how they ambush and kill thier victems (a chicken pathetic way to murder someone from behind, only a coward does this). Learn how to be a man you have to kill some inocent (yeah what a real man this is to kill an inocent and do it in a cowards way).
You liberals think that vigilantes are here in the States, not yet. Mark my words though if we do not bring these degeneratres to justice and put them away behind bars and execute murders we will have vigilantism here. It will come in a big way then you will beg for the days of the Minute Man Project , and like groups.
I do not favor the Sombra Negra, however with the revolving doors of our legal system and the likes of bleeding heart activists who scream racism and injustice for criminals I cannot condem then Sombra Negra either.

SUBNOTE: Google the Sombra Negra, Mara Salvatrucha , along with the history of central America find the source of this and then google the Latin organizations that are infesting collage campuses. Read and learn , draw your own conclusions. I think you we see if we do not do something now about ill3egal immigration, Judge Roy Bean will be reborn in another back room of a bar and the Sombra Negra (Black Shadow) will be here to deal justice.

Canada, a joke

Recent Gang violance in Canada is out of control. The problem is America. WHAT?
According to many in the Canadian know are blamming violance by street thugs on America. It is Americas fault that Canadians are shooting each other. If only America would make more restrictive gun control laws in the United States then the problem in Canada would go away.

This has to be the most assine , absurd statement I have heard this year. Canada blamming the USA for its own gang violance. If America would make it harer and more restrictive to own and purchase hand guns then gangs in Canada would not be shooting each other and innocents on their streets. This is not Americas problem and not the do to the Second Admenment in the AMERICAN Constitution.

What Canada has is a lack of authority and punishment for those who break their law and conduct civil disobediance. Not the fact Americans have the right to own and purchase handguns.

Canadians are blamming an easy allowance of purchaseing of handguns in America as the reason why people are shooting each other there.My question is why is our fault and why blame America for this. The purchaseing of handguns has never been more restrictive in America then it is now. Background checks, waiting periods, and certain laws requiring proof of need to own in America is not the reason for gang violance. All this proves is that when you take the ability out of the average citizens hands in order to protect themselves criminals will still find a way to get ahold of a handgun.

HERE FORM YOUR OWN OPINION ON THE CANUCKS:

In October 2005, as part of the campaign for the election expected to be called within 30 days of the release of Justice Gomery's report on the "sponsorship scandal" (a C$250 million project intended to promote national unity and opposed separatism in Quebec, much of which went to advertising agencies affiliated with the Liberal Party for little or no work), the ruling Liberal government pulled their favorite "blame the US for Canada's woes" rabbit out of their hat:

claiming, admittedly without any substantiation, that 50% of all guns used to commit crimes in Canada were smuggled from the US. The RCMP, Justice Canada, Statistics Canada, and the Toronto Police Service all say that they've heard that figure "bandied about", but that they themselves are not the source.
suing US gun manufacturers for the fact that some of their firearms are smuggled into Canada and used to commit crimes. Since President Bush has signed the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act into law, thus precluding such lawsuits in the US, it looks like they will have to sue in Canada, and thus can only sue gun manufacturers who have assets in Canada.
as an afterthrough, they now call for increasing the sentence for using a firearm in the commission of a crime from 1 year to a whole 2 years in spite of previous statements that longer sentences do nothing to reduce crime. Apparently Canadian criminals are immune to the deterrant effect of longer sentences in a way that US criminals are not.
On December 27, 2005, in the wake of a tragic youth gang shooting, Toronto mayor David Miller issued a statement claiming that "the lack of gun laws in the U.S. is allowing guns to flood across the border that are literally being used to kill people in the streets of Toronto" and once again made the unsubstantiated claim that 50% of all crime guns comes from the US. Amazingly, he then went on to claim that Toronto "is still very safe compared to most American cities."

The facts are that Toronto now has more muggings, car thefts, and assaults per capita than New York City; Canada's overall crime rate is 50% higher than the US; and 30 US states are safer than any Canadian province.

The Liberals are not the only political party in Canada that wants to interfere in US domestic gun law. On June 4, 2004, Jack Layton, the leader of Canada's far-Left New Democratic Party, made the following remarkable statement at a political gathering in Winnipeg:

"We're proposing going across the border to the US and actively engaging in lobbying to have gun-control laws in the US strengthened."
As a side note, both Al Gore and John Kerry have spoken highly of C-68. Gore went so far as to visit Canada during the 2000 campaign to study C-68 in order to propose and implement a similar system in the US. Thank your lucky stars that Bush won.

 

Moderate Statements from Islam

From Jihad Watch, something to really look closely at and think hard on. We know that the Islamofacists are planners and willing to look into long term plans and organization. So after these statements we need to really take a closer look at the so called moderate Muslims and what they are planning (WORLD DOMINATION)

Jihad Watch Board Vice President Hugh Fitzgerald makes some observations about the American Muslim community in the wake of the radiation scandal:

It is forbidden for a Believer to ally with an Infidel against other Believers. The American government should ponder that carefully -- especially the armed services, the diplomatic corps, and the intelligence services. There are people who may be Muslim-for-identification-purposes-only Muslims. There may be those who are bad Muslims, and who can be bribed to work against fellow Muslims. But those, one must assume, will be the exceptions. One must assume that when someone identifies himself as a Believer, he subscribes to the central idea of Islam (after monotheism): the idea that there is one division, and one only, that counts in the world: the division between Believer and Infidel.
This division has clear political implications, as the influential and high-profile Imam Muzammil H. Siddiqi of the Islamic Society of North America reminded us in 2002: “We must not forget that Allah's rules have to be established in all lands..."

And how can one do that when outright military conquest is not possible?

The answer, in the new conditions in which Mr. Siddiqi now finds himself, is clear: "..as Muslims, we should participate in the system to safeguard our interests and try to bring about gradual change..."

We "should participate" in order "to safeguard our [Muslim] interests" and "try to bring about gradual change..." which can only mean islamization -- a situation where, even if some Infidels remain, they are subjugated to the rule of Islam.

For a Believer, a True Believer such as Mr. Siddiqi, it cannot be otherwise. A past master, necessarily, at taqiyya and kitman, at obfuscation and speaking with forked tongue so that Muslims will understand clearly what he means and Infidels clearly misunderstand what he means -- this is a Muslim Everyman. For that he has earned what the courts like to call strict scrutiny. Every Muslim spokesman deserves such, especially in this New Season of Muslim Support for "Dialogue" and "Avoiding a Clash of Civilizations" and "Pluralism" -- meaning: let us take advantage of whatever freedoms are innocently proffered us until such time as Islam is fully entrenched and cannot be dislodged, and islamization is well underway through demography and a relentless campaign of Da'wa, aided and abetted by an equally relentless campaign of sweet nothings or when those won't do, intimidation and threat of litigation. It is the same everywhere, with the results we all see -- in Holland today, and in France and England tomorrow.

Is it beyond the wit of Americans to learn from the unhappy experience of others?

FCC Don't Cave

For the last five years a radio station in Texas has been aidding ILLEGAL invaders in this country.

For the last four years this coountry has been at war with terrorists. Hmmm.. radio helping foriegners, a time of war, suuure lets renue a license for a subversive radio station NOT!!!!!!!!!!



Radio station segment alerts listeners to Border Patrol agents
12/26/2005 4:02 PM
By: Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO -- A segment warning undocumented immigrants about immigration agents could be delaying San Antonio's leading Spanish-language radio station from renewing its license.

In the recurring KROM-Radio segment, callers report sightings of immigration agents.

“Estreo Latino'' disc jockeys then alert listeners about the location of limones verdes, or “green limes.'' The words refer to the dark green Border Patrol uniforms and green-lined SUVs.

Since the segment started five years ago, there hasn't been public outcry. No complaints by the Border Patrol, which has an eight-agent office in San Antonio.

But retired Houston lawyer Joe Ray Blalack has asked the Federal Communications Commission to deny KROM a license renewal because of the segment. The FCC has received 38 citizen complaints against the station, all from outside Texas.

Since August, KROM 92.9 FM has been operating with an expired license. Station attorney Scott Flick said in a letter that KROM is concerned the Blalack letter is delaying the process.

An FCC spokeswoman said the station's renewal application is under review, and no timetable for a decision was available.

Alex Nogales with the National Hispanic Media Coalition said KROM's segment seems to bring more laughter than harm and the station should not lose its license.

BRINGS LAUGHTER FROM THE ILLEGALS WHO USE THIS AS A WAY OF BREAKING THE LAW AND ADVOIDING CAPTURE.

Democratic Strategy

The election stratogy for the 2006 mid term elections is very simple. It will begin right after the state of the union address by the President. This is it:

STONEWALL, STONEWALL, STONEWALL, LIE, LIE, LIE, GRANDSTAND, GRANDSTAND, GRANDSTAND, BLOVIATE, BLOVIATE, BLOVIATE.

Simple enough.

Voter Fraud?

Here close to home a problem is brewing as I see it. In the town of Greeley Colorado there has been claims of racism and anti Mexican feelings.

From the Greeley Tribune:

Latino voters wanted


The idea crept into Susanne Villarreal's head when she helped register voters with the John Kerry presidential campaign in 2004.

It hit her this past month when she witnessed hundreds of Latinos stand up to a proposal for an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Greeley.

We need to get more Latinos registered to vote, she thought.

The goal of the program, Voto Latino, is to register 5,000 new Latino voters in Weld County, educate them on the issues and ensure they vote in the 2006 election.

A lack of Latino representation on boards and commissions has plagued the city during the past decade. Currently, minorities represent 20 of 196 board and commission members, or 10 percent.

An investigation of city records shows that on 12 boards since 1995, Latinos -- who account for 29 percent of Greeley's 85,815 residents -- accounted for 14 percent of members.

Two boards -- the Water and Sewer Board and the Greeley/Weld Economic Development Action Partnership -- haven't had a single Latino member in 10 years.

The flip side is that fewer Latinos apply for the seats. Since 1995, only 10 percent of denied applicants were Latinos.

The program should begin registering voters next month, Villarreal said.

Carlos Leal, a former member of the Greeley City Council and Greeley-Evans School District 6 board, said voter registration campaigns are always a good idea for any group of people.

"It's going to lead to representation of people that is fair and equitable and represents all the people of the community," Leal said.

"Things like that are the ones that catch people's attention and that's the way people get involved," Leal said. "What you are seeing is an issue that brings out the grass-roots participation."

Villarreal, a flight attendant with United Airlines, has always been active in politics, working on numerous presidential campaigns. But this year, she's stepped up her involvement by running for city council (she said she plans to run again), helping out with Latinos Unidos and heading up the Voto Latino effort.

She said it's time to take a leadership role.

"We want to keep the momentum going," Villarreal said. "Now that the people are geared up and fired up."


HAVEING A VOTOR DRIVE I AM IN FAVOR OF. HOWEVER THE MAIN PROBLEM I SEE THATIS GOING TO CREEP UP IS CASES OF VOTER FRAUD. I SAY VOTER FRAUD BECAUSE IT IS ILLEGAL TO MISRTEPRESENT YOUR VOTE. BY NOT BEING A LEGAL CITIZEN YOU DO NOT GET TO VOTE!!! HOW IS IT THAT NON CITIZENS MAY DETERMINE WHO IS RUNNING OUR GOVERNMENTS LOCAL AND OR NATIONAL. DOES THIS NOT SMELL OF FOREIGN INTRUSION UPON OUR NATIONAL SOVERIEGNTY? I AGREE THAT A BETTER MIX OF REPRESENTATION IS ALWAYS A GOOD THING WHEN IT COMES TO GOVERNMENT, HOWEVER WHO IS TO BE ELECTED? WHAT IS THEIR CITIZENSHIP STATUS? YES THEIR CITIZENSHIP STATUS. THE ONLY OFFICE THAT IS RESTRICTED IS THAT OF THE PRESIDENT AND THE CONSTITUTION SAYS YOU HAVE TO BE BORN HERE TO BE PRESIDENT. ALL OTHERS ONLY SAY CITIZENSHIP OF THIS COUNTRY. YET IF YOU LOOK HARD ENOUGH ON THE INTERNET YOU WILL FIND PLACES THAT DO NOT EVER QUESTION THIS AND THUS BRING IN OUTSIDE INTERESTS THAT ARE NOT IN THE BEST FAVOR OF THIS COUNTRY.
BY ALLOWING ILLEGALS TO VOTE AND PERHAPS RUN AND BE ELECTED TO OFFICE IT DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF EVEN HAVING A COUNTRY OF OUR OWN.


OTHER NOTEWORTHY PROBLEMS IN GREELEY:

Who and what do the Latinos Unidos represent?

The group emerged last October in opposition to a resolution in support an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in Greeley. The members say they plan to continue representing Latinos and the issues they face. In the future, the group would like to become a social justice group that defends anyone -- regardless of ethnicity or gender -- that has suffered discrimination or injustice.

The group has the support of members of the Hispanic Leadership Council, Hispanic Women of Weld County, Al Frente de Lucha, the Scott-Eppel Neighborhood watch group, the International League of Women for Peace and Freedom and Congregations Building Community. (ALL GROUPS WHICH SUPPORT OPEN BOARDERS AND NO IMMIGRATION LAWS)

Why do they oppose an ICE office in Greeley?

One, they believe officials haven't demonstrated statistics that support the need for such an office. They've asked repeatedly to see proof that illegal immigrants are responsible for the gang, methamphetamine and violent crimes.
( AFACT THAT HAS BEEN PROVEN BY THE LOCAL AND FEDERAL AUTHORITY WHICH THEY CLAIM ARE RACIST AND BIAS FIGURES.)

Two, they say an ICE office will create more division in the community, adversely affect U.S. citizen Latinos who will be stereotyped, and hurt illegal immigrants who are here to work and help the economy. (THE FACT IT WOULD REMOVE ILLEGALS WHO ARE HERE AND NOT PAYING TAXES NOR CONTRIBUTING TO THE POPULACE OTHER THEN DOING MANUAL LABORER)

Three, they believe officials should focus not only on illegal immigrant workers, but on the employers who give them jobs. (AND IT SHOULD FOCUS ON THOSE WHO HIRE ING PRACTICES HURT THE ECOMOMY BY HIREING ILLEGALS)

Are they a formal organization? Do they have elected officials?

Not yet, but the group has become more organized since it formed last month. Members plan to elect officials in the future. So far, Sylvia Martinez -- the group's spokeswoman -- is the only member with a title.
(SEE WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO REGISTER AND GET ILLEGALS TO VOTE FOR THEIR POWER BASE.)

How many are in the organization?

About 20-30 core members with hundreds more who attend protests.

Is this just a local organization?

Currently, most of the group's members are from Greeley and Weld County but they plan to expand to other parts of northern Colorado.

Do they have a mailing address or Web site?

Not yet. The group's contact phone number is 378-0182.

Who are some of the members?

Sylvia Martinez, 32

The daughter of migrant field workers, Martinez grew up in Montana and used to come every year to Colorado and work alongside her parents.

She and her family moved here permanently in 1991 and she's been here ever since. Martinez, married with two children, Martinez is an investigator with the Colorado State Public Defender's office, according to the state Web site.

Alonzo Barrón, 20

Barrón was born to Mexican parents in L.A. and moved to Thornton in ninth grade.

Three years ago, he moved to Greeley to study at the University of Northern Colorado, where he's a junior double-major in English and Mexican-American studies.

He's a member of the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán (Chicano Student Movement of Aztlán), abbreviated as MEChA, which is the Spanish word for fuse.

Mexico, "Bite Me"

After a week long tirad by the mexican government and Vincente Fox whinnging about how it just isn't righ to build a fence along the Unioted States southern border I have had enough.

Mexico spreads its lies and propaganda with the aid of Requincista and Axteca, La Raza and other subversive groups who claim the land (* the whole western United States) is still thier land. Bull #%$^!!!!!
Anyone remember the American Mexcican war of 1842? Anyone remember the Alamo? This land is does not belong to Mexico or anyone other then America!!!!!.

What lies at the heart of the whole mythical situation of these "poor" Mexicans is money. 18% of Mexicos gross national product copmes from ILLEGALS, and a total of 23 % GNP come from American foriegn aid. Mexico is afraid of looseing this money.

As Americans we do not owe Mexicans and education. If the Mexican government only wants to support a 6th grade education , it does not fall upon the United States to finish the educational process of a foriegn country. The people of Mexico should demand that their public educational system include a high school level of study. It is not up to American tax payers to ensure that FREE MEDICAL coverage is granted to non taxpayers/ citizens. Hell why should foriegners get free medical care when our own citizens do not.

This constant crying and moaning that we do not do enough for our southern neighbor is getting old and very tiresome. We provide Mexico with their national defense at no cost to them. We through the goodness of our heart provide international relief, and all sorts of international aid to numerouse to mention.

ILLEGALS break the law when they sneak into this country. Then they work the system , do not pay taxes. Get free medical (that of which our own citizens do not get), then they get all sorts of handouts from food stamps, to free transportation, lower rent, hell they even now get special interest rates on homes. As a born here American citizen I do not get the luxery of special interets rates. But I do get the bill every time I look at my pay check and see my tax monmies going to help out those who do not contribute to this country.

The lie of they only do jobs that the average American will not do. What nonsense is this. Since when do Americans not want to work at McDonalds or any other fast food resturant> What about the average construction worker who speaks english who can not get a job because a working wage that includes taxes is higher then the employer wants to pay. I for one am tired of having to find someone to translate the writing on a box of soap from spanish to english while I decide if it is the product I want or not. This is America ... The United States of America damnit!!!! This is not the united states of spanish speaking sponges.

Sure there are those who will say this is racial and hate full blog that6 is anti Mexican .... No this blog is PRO AMERICAN AND SUPPORTS AMERICA. tHE COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE PATRIOT ACT, SUPPOSEDLY SHRINKING CIVIL RIGHTS , and isolationalism is a bsurd. Why do I have to give up my heritage for lies and someone elses heritage. The things my forefathers fought for and died for I have to give up because some bleeding heart sob wants me to be poilitically correct and they feel guilty for some reason.

Look the number one threat to our way of life is Islamofacism, but a fast and longer threat is this INVASION that is coming from south of the boarder. I will not stand to pay for them to get a free ride while I have to pay my way. Should not the CITIZENS of this country get a free ride before an ILLEGAL?

Domestic Terrorisim

In the vast picture of terrorism today we think of only italian tablecloth wearing camel jockies as being terrorist. But much closer to home is a fanatical group that poses a real threat and conducts acts of violance that are economically crippleing.
There are several groups that come to mind if you ask the average American on the streets. The mosty common answer would be the Ku Klux Klan. The tripple K, though a hate group and racist to the corp is not nearly as damaging as others. However on a sidenote the MSM would not nor spread the wotd on these other grooups because it does not help their adgenda.

Other groups that you do not hear about on a domestic leval that are more subversive are The Black Panthers, The Arian Nation, Nation of Islam, CAIR (center of american islam relations) a subversive and p.r. mouth for middle eastern thugs. Peta, and Animals first.

In this blog I will take a closer look at ELF ... Earth Liberation Front.

Communique from the Earth Liberation Front
Beltane, 1997

Welcome to the struggle of all species to be free.

We are the burning rage of this dying planet. The war of greed ravages the earth and species die out every day. ELF works to speed up the collapse of industry, to scare the rich, and to undermine the foundations of the state. We embrace social and deep ecology as a practical resistance movement. We have to show the enemy that we are serious about defending what is sacred. Together we have teeth and claws to match our dreams. Our greatest weapons are imagination and the ability to strike when least expected.

Since 1992, a series of earth nights and halloween smashes has mushroomed around the world. 1000's of bulldozers, powerlines, computer systems, buildings and valuable equipment have been composted. Many ELF actions have been censored to prevent our bravery from inciting others to take action.

We take inspiration from the Luddites, Levellers, Diggers, the Autonome squatter movement, ALF, the Zapatistas, and the little people -- those mischievous elves of lore. Authorities can't see us because they don't believe in elves. We are practically invisible. We have no command structure, no spokespersons, no office, just many small groups working separately, seeking vulnerable targets and parcticing our craft.

Many elves are moving to the Pacific Northwest and other sacred areas. Some elves will leave surprises as they go. Find your family! And let's dance as we make ruins of the corporate money system.

THIS IS A COMMUNICATION FROM THE SELF DILLUSIONAL GROUP AS THEY FIRST STARTED TO MAKE WAVES. nOTE THE MENTAL UNSTABILILITY OF THIER REFERANCEING TO BEING LIKE ELVES. THIS GROUP AS WE WILL SEE ARE NOT SO MUCH INTO ENVIROMENTAL ISSUES AS MUCH AS INTO ANARCHY AND CHAOS.

http://www.earthliberationfront.com/opinions.htm
THE OFFICIAL SITE OF THESE RADICAL LOONIES IS COVERED WITH DISCLAIMERS TRYING TO ABSOLVE THEMSELVES OF ANY WRONG DOING. WITH POSSIBLE TARGETS, WAYS TO PLAN AND CARRY OUT THIER ANARCHIST ACTIVITIES ABOUND ON THE OPINION PAGE. THE ELFERS CLAIM THAT THEY HAVE NO HIREARCHY OF LEADERSHIP. THIS LENDS CREDIANCE TO THEM BEING MORE OF AN ANARCHIST GROUP THEN ENVIORMENTALIST. (MY THEORY IS A BUNCH OF SPOILED RICH KIDS LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE TO ACT LIKE IDIOTS RATHER THEN ANY TRUE IDEOLOGY)

THIS SITE IS ALSO FULL OF REFUSALS TO BE ALLOWED THE CREDIT OF AN OFFICIAL SPOKEPIECE AND INFORMATION SITE TO ELF. SO WE SEE A DIVISIONARY LINE BETWEEN RADICALS AND HARD CORE ANARCHISTS HERE.

THE PREFERED METHOD OF ATTACK BY THESE PEOPLE IS ARSON. NOT HAVING A BETTER METHOD OR LEGAL COARSE THEY WANT TOP BURN THINGS. THE DAMAGE AND POLLUTION PRODUCED FROM THESE ACTS DOES SEEM TO GO AGAINST THEIR IDEA OF SAVING THE ENVIORMENT. LETS DESTROY IT TO PRESERVE IT. NOT A RATIONAL WAY OF THINKING. A LOOK AT THEIR ACTS FOLLOWS WITH LINKS TO ARTICALS OF THESE ACTS, PROVIDED BY ALF WHO SEEMS TO BE WANTING TO SEPERATE THEMSELVES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE FROM ELF:

http://www.animalrights.net/archives/related_topics/Organizations/pro_ar/earth_liberation_front.html

ELF Extremists Claim Responsibility for Weekend Arson at Maryland Development Site - 21 Nov 2005
Four separate fires at new properties causes more than $200,000 in damages.

He's A Good Boy -- He Just Occasionally Commits Acts of Arson! - 2 May 2005
Would sending a 21-year-old to jail for 40 years for a series of arsons be unjustified? Hell no -- don't do the crime, if you can't do the time.

More Arrests in California Eco-Terrorists Attacks - 1 May 2005
Four activists each face at least fifteen years in prison if convicted on all charges.

Man Arrested In Connection With McDonald's Arson in 2003 - 26 Feb 2005
Christopher McIntosh could face up to 5 years in jail and a $250,000 fine if convicted.

William Cottrell Convicted of Arson in Firebombing of SUVs - 21 Nov 2004
Cottrell convicted on 8 of 9 charges related to arson at dealership, but is acquitted on the most serious charge.

Judge Rejects Accused Arsonist's Autism Defense - 15 Nov 2004
Cottrell's lawyers keep striking out -- first judge rejects claim that arson is "nonviolent" and now they won't let them use Cottrell's Apserger's as a defense.

Two Men Plead Guilty in Separate Arson Attacks - 18 Oct 2004
Joshua Demmitt, 18, and Justus Ireland, 23, will spend at least five years in a federal prison for ALF and ELF-inspired arsons.


A HUGE INDICATOR THAT ELF IS NOT AN ENVIROMENTAL GROUP IS THE STATMENT MADE BY FORMER SPOKESPERSON LESLIE JAMES PICKERING:

"The goal of ELF activists should be nothing less than the overthrow of the United States government,
I don't think they're [ELF extremists] going far enough at all. They're only part of a larger building revolutionary movement that won't stop until it has a successful overthrow of this country."

AN OVERTHROW OF THE GOVERNMENT? HOW DOES THIS TIE INTO ENVIORMENTALISM? IT DOES NOT! WHAT YOU CLEARLY SEE IS ANARCHIST AND POSSIBLE LEFTISTS (COMMUNIST) WANTING TO DESTABLISE AND CONVERT AMERICAN THOUGHT AND LIFE.


MORE RESEARCH INTO THIS SO CALLED NON FORMAL GROUP OF "ENVIORMENTALISTS" WITH NO COMMAND STRUCTURE SHOWS HOW FALSE THIS IS. WITH WEB SITES AND FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES TO SUPPORET AND SET FREE FROM JAIL MORE PROMINANT KNOWN ACTIVISTS INDICATE THIS LEFT GROUP STILL IS FAR FROM ENVIORMENTALISM AND MOVING FARTHER AWAY FROM THIER PUBLIC P.R. CAMPIAGN OF EARTH FIRST.

http://www.spiritoffreedom.org.uk/

THIS SITE SHOWS A MOVMENT TO ORGANISE AND SET FREE KNOWN CRIMINALS FROM JAIL AND PERVERT THE REASONS THEY ARE BEHIND BARS.

WHY SHOULD THEY BE BEHIND BARS? WELL WITH STATEMENTS LIKE THE FOLLOWING FROM 2002 THESE VIOLENT AND NONLOGICAL THINKING EXTREMISTS SHOULD NOT BE OUT IN PUBLIC:

Anarchist Internet mailing lists and chat rooms are abuzz with this news, which has some activists cheering. “If the authorities are going to hand out 22 year sentences for the burning of a truck,” asks one ELF enthusiast, “why not respond in kind?”

Saying that “global revolutionaries” must no longer adhere to “a flawed, inconsistent, ‘non-violent’ ideology,”

THOSE REMARKS BEING MADE . EVIDANCE OF ACTUAL HITLISTS AND DEATH THREATS HAVE BEEN MADE BY SPLINTER GROUPS TO ELF. ELF IS SPAWNING MORE RADICAL AND HATE FILLED ORGANIZATIONS THEN BEFORE. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ISLAMOFACISTS THESE KNUCKLEHEADS ARE THE FASTEST GROWING THREAT TO CIVILIZATION AT HAND.

THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO LOOK AT AND EXAMINE, BUT TO SUM IT UP:

ELF IS NOT AN ENVIORMENTALIST GROUPBUT AN ANARCHIST GROUP OF RADICALS WHO WITH TOTAL DISREGUARD TO LIFE AND PROPERTY WANT TO CHANGE AND INFLUENCE THE WAY OF LIFE AND THINKING HERE IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE WORLD. THEY WILL NOT HESITATE TO USE ANY MEANS AT THEIR DISPOSAL TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS.

I HOPE THIS HAS BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE ISLAMOFACISTS TO WATCH OUT FOR BUT OTHERS AS WELL

Pitiful Atittude

With an atittude like this one should feel pity on Mary J. Blidge. Her self centered narrow thinking is self racists.

[excerpt taken from interview. read the full interview at the following web address
http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/features/story/0,11710,1669258,00.html ]

she doesn't think America's changed at all when it comes to race relations. "The blacker you are, the worse it is for you. If you're mixed, you've got a shot. If you cater to what white America wants you to do and how they want you to look, you can survive. But if you want to be yourself, and try to do things that fit you, and your skin, nobody cares about that. At the end of the day, white America dominates and rules. And it's racist."


Friends have told me I lack tact when dealing on certain subjects. Well sometimes the truth hurts and is not pleasent. So sit down or surf to another site cause here it comes.

In a way Mary is right . America is racists, however, and here is the but. It is not the so called white authority that is keeping the balck man down . Nor is it the white man who is the racists. THE BALCK MAN , A FEW POWER BROKERS OF AFRICAN DECENT, are the biggest racists around in this country. There are more millioniares of African decent in this country then white. Partly due to their talent and skill, along with some sharp managers and promoters.

The argument of not getting a chance is so assine absurd it is almost laughable if it was not so shameful. Equal oppertunity is not what it is supposed to be. It has evolved into instatutionalized quotas for race in hireing practices. Not only in government but in the private sector. Educational oppertunities are being squandered and thrown away with the accepted unequal levals in which they are given. A higher standard for whites then for blacks. Why? Blacks are not stuppid nor lack the ability to learn so why are their standards being lowered further then that of whites or any other race of people.

Government assistance programs will by pass a white family in need and doubl;e the hand out to a minority. Why, black activists threaten lawsuits. It isn't raceism that puts people in a position of needing help but a run of bad luck. Why are more balcks on the doll then whites? Because once again it is activists of the same race keeping their race down. Making them dependant on the system and stiffeling their self esteem in order to mantain a power base for their self.

The quota system that is place, politically correct known as equal oppertunity holds [people and buisnesses down. By forceing companies to hire by race and not qualifications is plane WRONG!!!! No wonder an inferiority complex can easily be found in Black America. Knowing you do not have to try and improve onesself and still get a job or handouts from the government will amke one lazy.

To say the white man is holding the balck man down is absurd. look how many rappers are living the life of rieley with all their bling bling and fancy cars. Some with talent , most without. Still making a fortune on a questionable form of music (questionable as I find the vast majority of it noise, with a lack of imagination, creativeness, and listening value. The same old rehashed beat with different lyrics placed over a over gained bass rythem. Scratching on songs someone else made famous.)

America has its faults, sure there are some white racists, but there are more black racists then white, with the hispanic movement upcoming even more racism will be seen. However if Mry J. Blidge doesn't like America I suggest she go and live in another country anywhere. Europe, Africa, or Asia. Then come back here and tell me how racist we are in America. I have lived in foriegn countries, and America is far from racists compared to the rest of the world.

 

What did I tell you

Truman is rolling around in his grave screaming the buck stops here! Breaking from the Drudge report:

http://www.drudgereport.com/flash9nyt.htm

But now comes word James Risen's article is only one of many "explosive newsbreaking" stories that can be found -- in his upcoming book -- which he turned in 3 months ago!

The paper failed to reveal the urgent story was tied to a book release and sale.

"STATE OF WAR: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration" is to be published by FREE PRESS in the coming weeks, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

Carisa Hays, VP, Director of Publicity FREE PRESS, confirms the book is being published.

The book editor of Bush critic Richard Clarke [AGAINST ALL ENEMIES] signed Risen to FREE PRESS.

Self centered defeted and spoiled leftists still can not believe they lost the Presidential election fair and square, despite investigations showing widespread cheating and fraud on behalf of the Democratic party. So like spoiled little brats they do all they can to undermine and disrupt the current administration by any and all means. The so called breaking news of spying on U.S. citizens is not only a year old but submitted for publication three months ago. Why was it not published then? Well simple, timeing. The New York Times held up the front page headline to coinside with the publication of yet another left leaning bias book that wants to distort and spin the war on terror against those who are trying to protect this country.

As the BBC reports this morning, leaving out the facts of the wire taps were placed on phone calls made to numbers outside this country and to locations not of a friendly nature to the United States. Following grandstanding in the senate by once again party liners who are of the leftist leanings and anti Bush no matter who it may hurt (MEANING IF IT HURTS THE AVERAGE AMERICAN CITIZEN WHILE MAKING PRESIDENT BUSH LOOK INTERNATIONALLY BAD THEN IT IS OK).

These headlines of spying are grossly overstated and misleading. It is all done with book sales in mind and a underlining smear attempt once again against the Bush administration.

Friday, December 16, 2005 

Wh0's hands are tied?

With the left putting out a new book "State of War" by noted New york Times writer James Risen. The big story on the MSM is how the government is spying on its own populace. The truth be told it is not spying on the average populace but on those of suspiciouse activity. Could it possibly be the New York Times is trying yo create a sensation to help sell the left leaning book? More then likely. With a credited anti Bush administration lean on the writings of james Risen the question which is being reasonably asked by theblogspere is why are the Plame Blamers not wanting an investigation into who leaked the spy information.

If Valerie Plame, an employee not covert agent of the CIA, work status is a national secrete then is not covert prison camps and covert intell operations a part of national security? Is not the leaking , even if it is a said year later after the fact still leaking classified material?

With the usual leftist big mouths screaming for congressional hearings into the administrations role in allowing these intell operations (ABOUT TIME WE DID THESE OPS AND GOT DOWN TO BUISNESS OF PROTECTING AND ELIMINATEING THE ENEMY). Their focus once again is all wrong. Instead of looking out for America First they are looking out for alledged civil rights of non citizens and foreign entities and governments over America. The secrete observation of entities who may pose a threat with harm to America and her citizens is what the federal government should be doing and part of their job.

The claim of the government is slowly erroding civil rights is totally false under this accusation. If an argument is to be made look at the staes Of Maryland, Vermont, Virginia and thier removal and relocation of children who have a parent who smokes. The intrusion into ones home and personal life in this manner is an erosion of personal freedoms and civil rights. The spying on foriegn nationals who do not have American safety and liberties at heart is not the erosion of rights but protection from Enemies both Foriegn and Domestic.

I call upon the blogsphere to put as much pressure on the New York Times , the MSM, and congress to focuss the investigation where it rightfully belongs. On those who are leaking the information about how we are trying to protect this country.

 

Islamic Domination

If it hasn't been made clear to those who want to kowtow to certain idealogs. The picture has to be much clearer now. There is no doubt after the rehtoric being blasted around the middle east in the last week. Tolerance is but a myth, and a peaceful coexistance is not in the future.

TEHRAN -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said humanity suffers from arrogant and corrupt governments, stressing Islam was the solution to the world's suffering. Speaking Thursday at the city of Nikashahr in southeast Iran, Ahmadinejad said, "We see injustice everywhere in the world, as decisions to displace peoples and kill civilians are taken easily while arms factories compete to produce more lethal weapons," the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported....

"Humanity is suffering from arrogant and corrupt governments and the only means for salvaging humanity is the implementation of Islam which meets all the needs of humans in terms of justice, prosperity, pride and peace for all humanity," he added.

The following are excerpts from a symposium of students at Universite Libanaise, hosted by Hizbullah's Al-Manar TV and broadcast on November 29, 2005. The symposium marked the anniversary of November 29, 1947, the day the U.N. General Assembly passed the Partition Plan, which is marked annually in the Arab world with ceremonies of solidarity with the Palestinians. Al-Manar's TV symposium was devoted to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and participants included Shafiq Al-Hut, a former PLO representative in Lebanon, and Palestinian, Lebanese and Syrian students.
It should be noted that Universite Libanaise [1] is Lebanon's only government-run university, and the country's largest. [2]

Mediator: "The Arab regimes have all accepted the establishing of a Palestinian state on the territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. In other words, the 1967 borders only. They believe that the reality and the balance of power do not allow more than that at this stage. Do you support this 'realism,' or do you adhere to what has come to be known as the historical, original Palestine? Let us... Let us... Go ahead."
Student 1: "My name is Hisham Sham'as, and I study political science. I just want to say everyone is talking about..."

Mediator: "Please address the question."

Hisham Sham'as: "The state shouldn't be only within the 1976 borders... Or rather, 1967... Israel must be wiped out."

Mediator: "You mean, reviving the motto of erasing Israel from the map."

Hisham Sham'as: "Israel should be completely wiped out, so the Palestinians will have a country to return to."

Mediator: "If someone tells you this motto is unrealistic, how would you respond?"

Hisham Sham'as: "There is no such thing as unrealistic. Just as Israel... Just like Hitler fought the Jews - We are a great Islamic nation of Jihad, and we too should fight the Jews and burn them."


With this hateful speech, and belief how can we in the west possibly believe that Islam is a religion of peace and love. How can one religion call for the extermination of a race of people?

THE radical Palestinian group Hamas will step up attacks against Israel if the Jewish state takes military action against Iran, its political chief has said in Tehran.
Khaled Meshaal also praised Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for his "courage" in having dismissed the Holocaust as a myth and calling for Israel to be moved out of the Middle East to Europe or North America.

"Just as Islamic Iran defends the rights of the Palestinians, we defend the rights of Islamic Iran. We are part of a united front against the enemies of Islam," Mr Meshaal told reporters.

"Each member of this front defends itself with its own means in its region. We carry the battle in Palestine. If Israel launches an attack against Iran, we will expand the battlefield," he told a news conference.

If Isreal defends itsaelf it will be terrorised, if they do nothing they will be terrorised. A no win situation for the Jews. Iran wanting nukes and calling for the destruction of Isreal. Hamas being the thugs and punks they are calling a self defense terrorist acts their right. Then look at the hatred being taught in colleges of the middle east.

Riyadh: The Saudi curriculum is mainly responsible for breeding hatred towards non-Muslims, said many participants at the ongoing Fifth National Dialogue Forum.
They find fault with advocating a single school of thought that creates wrong notions among the younger generation.

The three-day forum Us and Others: A National Vision for Interacting with International Cultures which began in the Saudi city of Abha, will conclude today.

More than 70 participants including Saudi male and female intellectuals, academics and writers representing various schools of thought debated a wide variety of issues, ranging from the treatment of Saudis to non-Saudis and non-Muslims to the Sunni-Shiite relationship.

The discussions mainly focused on the religious point of view, focusing on Islam's position toward other cultures, and importance of accepting diversity of cultures.

During the opening session, Saleh Al Hussain, president of the King Abdul Aziz Center for National Dialogue, said: "In case of dealing with non-Muslims, Islam requires both justice and sympathy. And when it comes to Muslims' relations with fellow Muslims, the relation must be based on loyalty to Islam and governed by a bond of brotherhood."

Participating in the discussion, Dr Sahl Bin Abdul Aziz, an expert from King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, said it is strange that "we are not taking advantage of the West in dealing with others.

"Why don't we respect others just like the Westerners. It is unfortunate that some of us are hesitating to greet non-Muslims."

For the first time since the First National Dialogue was held in Riyadh in 2003, the event was broadcast live on Saudi state television.

Many Arab expatriates were surprised to see participants expressing views frankly.

Dr Dalal Aziz criticised the arrogance in the treatment of some Saudis toward expatriates or non-Saudis or even to Saudis from outside.

"We have to recognise the reality and get rid of our superiority complex and humiliating of other nationals," she said.

Dr Hind Bint Turky Al Sudairy said: "It is imperative for us to return to the Quran by giving respect to other schools of thought."

IT CAN'T BE MORE CLEARER TO AN OPEN MIND THAT ISLAM WANTS WORLD DOMINATION AND DOES NOT PREACH PEACE. HOW CAN WE NOT SEE THIS IN THE WEST? TO MANY PACIFISTIC S.O.B.'S WHO WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE WE ARE IN THE WRONG AND OUR WAY OF LIFE IS BAD. I HAVE SAID THIS BEFORE IN PAST BLOGS .... WE ARE IN A WAR FOR OUR WAY OF LIFE AND BELIEFS. THIS ISN'T JUST A WAR ON A FEW RADICAL ISLAMOFACIST THUGS BUT A WAR OF IDEAOLOGY THAT IF WE LOOSE WE WILL BE DOMINATED BY AN OPPRESIVE INTOLERANT LEADERSHIP THAT PROMOTES (HISTORICALLY LOOK AT WHAT ISLAM HAS DONE AND IS DOING ... GENOCIDE IN THE SUDAN, ETHIOPIA, SLAVERY OF NONMUSLEMS). CAN WE AFFORS THIS WAY OF LIFE?

You heard little of this

What happened in Mississippi? Little was aired about the effects of Katrina on Mississppi, which was harder hit by Katrina then Louisana.

Effect of Hurricane Katrina on Mississippi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.


About 800,000 people suffered power outages in Mississippi according to the Clarion-Ledger. By September 10, Mississippi Power Company officials reported that power had been restored to 98 percent of its customers in South Mississippi.

Governor Haley Barbour called the damage he saw along the coast indescribable, saying "I can only imagine that this is what Hiroshima looked like 60 years ago." According to MSNBC, a 30 ft. storm surge came ashore, wiping out 90% of buildings along the Biloxi-Gulfport coastline. Casino barges in the Biloxi-Gulfport area were washed ashore, across beachfront Highway 90. Residents in some coastal areas had to be rescued from rooftops.

US Navy officials announced that two Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers under construction at Litton-Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula had been damaged by the storm, as well as the Amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island.

Along with countless others affected by the hurricane, US Senator Trent Lott has lost his Pascagoula home, and the boyhood home of Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre was also totally destroyed.

Hancock County
Hancock County suffered severe damages in two communities, Waveland and Bay St. Louis. In Waveland, Mayor Tommy Longo said that the death toll was approaching 50. In Bay St. Louis, officials reported at least 14 storm-related deaths.

Limited information is coming out of Hancock County. Sporadic reports from citizen journalists are posted at WLOX-TV.

The Clarion-Ledger reports the bridge between Bay St. Louis and Pass Christian is out. The roads in Pass Christian are filled with rubble. Casinos were ripped from their moorings and pushed inland. Destruction was heavy to residences and businesses. Some looting was reported.

Southern Diamondhead (near Bay St. Louis) was devastated, but Northern Diamondhead seems to be in relatively good shape.

The Houston Chronicle reports Hurricane Katrina's ferocious eye passed directly over Bay St. Louis, causing catastrophic damage to homes, buildings and power lines. Nearly every residential street to the coast, about two blocks from the shore, was clogged with 8-foot piles of debris.


Harrison County

Damage to Gulfport, Mississippi following Katrina.Harrison County, Mississippi was hit particularly hard by the hurricane and the storm surge. Its two coastal cities, Biloxi and Gulfport, suffered severe damages and many casualties were reported. As of 8PM, 30 August, 100 people were confirmed dead. Joe Spraggins, civil defense director for Harrison County, added that the number of dead could eventually reach several hundred. On September 1, county officials reported the death toll was 126.

In the city of Biloxi, Mississippi widespread damage was reported as several of the city's attractions were destroyed. Many restaurants have been destroyed, and several casino barges had been pulled out of the water and onto land [10]. In addition, most of the currently reported deaths occurred in Biloxi. Residents that survived Hurricane Camille state that Katrina was "much worse," with a storm surge reportedly reaching further inland than the previous catastrophic storm.

Thirty of those confirmed deaths in Harrison County were at the St. Charles apartment complex, near the beach in casino resort town of Biloxi, said Kelly Jakubic with the county's Emergency Operations Center. The apartment complex was reported, by local news sources, to have collapsed with dozens of residents inside. Vincent Creel, a spokesman for the city, said that hundreds may have been killed when a 30-foot (9 metre) storm surge came ashore.


U.S. Air Force cargo planes unload several tons of supplies at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi.Initial assessments at Keesler Air Force Base, located in Biloxi, indicate extensive damage, although there do not appear to be any fatalities of base personnel and their dependents who rode out the storm in shelters on base. As well, the pet shelter remained in good shape.

Interstate 10 between Gulfport and Biloxi is impassible due to debris in the vicinity of Biloxi River.

As of 17:00 30 August, the following roads were closed awaiting clean-up:

Interstate 10 and Highway 90 from the Louisiana state border to the Alabama state border;
Highway 49 from Jackson to Gulfport, Mississippi;
Interstate 59 from Meridian to Picayune;
Highway 63 from Lucedale to Moss Point;
Highway 607;
Highway 84 from Collins to Alabama;
Highway 98 from Mobile to Hattiesburg.
Air Force One photo and helicopter video from WLBT confirms the Biloxi-Ocean Springs bridge is totally gone.


Biloxi-Ocean Springs bridge.Mississippi newspapers are reporting that Beauvoir, the last home and Presidential Library of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, was totally destroyed. In addition to the home, the site also housed the Jefferson Davis Presidential Library and was a Biloxi tourist attraction.


Destroyed Casino Authorities in Gulfport, Mississippi told CNN that 10 feet of water cover downtown streets. An Armed Forces Retirement Facility within two blocks of the coastline was flooded on Monday, forcing patients, staff, and equipment to the upper floors. Additionally, three fire stations in the city reported various degrees of structural damage.

 

Mismanaged Funds

Plenty of blame to go around but is it being directed towards those who really are to blame?

Money Flowed to Questionable Projects
State Leads in Army Corps Spending, but Millions Had Nothing to Do With Floods

By Michael Grunwald
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, September 8, 2005; Page A01

Before Hurricane Katrina breached a levee on the New Orleans Industrial Canal, the Army Corps of Engineers had already launched a $748 million construction project at that very location. But the project had nothing to do with flood control. The Corps was building a huge new lock for the canal, an effort to accommodate steadily increasing barge traffic.

Except that barge traffic on the canal has been steadily decreasing.


In Katrina's wake, Louisiana politicians and other critics have complained about paltry funding for the Army Corps in general and Louisiana projects in particular. But over the five years of President Bush's administration, Louisiana has received far more money for Corps civil works projects than any other state, about $1.9 billion; California was a distant second with less than $1.4 billion, even though its population is more than seven times as large.

Much of that Louisiana money was spent to try to keep low-lying New Orleans dry. But hundreds of millions of dollars have gone to unrelated water projects demanded by the state's congressional delegation and approved by the Corps, often after economic analyses that turned out to be inaccurate. Despite a series of independent investigations criticizing Army Corps construction projects as wasteful pork-barrel spending, Louisiana's representatives have kept bringing home the bacon.

Levees only so strong

But overall, the Bush administration's funding requests for the key New Orleans flood-control projects for the past five years were slightly higher than the Clinton administration's for its past five years. Lt. Gen. Carl Strock, the chief of the Corps, has said that in any event, more money would not have prevented the drowning of the city, since its levees were only designed to protect against a Category 3 storm. Strock also has said the marsh restoration project would not have done much to diminish Katrina's storm surge, which passed east of the coastal wetlands.

"The project manager for the Great Pyramids probably put in a request for 100 million shekels and only got 50 million," said John Paul Woodley Jr., the Bush administration official overseeing the Corps. "Flood protection is always a work in progress; on any given day, if you ask whether any community has all the protection it needs, the answer is almost always: Maybe, but maybe not."

The Corps had been studying the possibility of upgrading the New Orleans levees for a higher level of protection before Katrina hit, but Woodley said that study would not have been finished for years. Still, liberal bloggers, Democratic politicians and some Republican defenders of the Corps have linked the catastrophe to the underfunding of the agency.

 

Dispelling the Katrina Myths

More facts are coming to light as to the deaths and false allegations to the so called conspirocy of "Genocide " during the Katrina disaster:

Katrina didn't discriminate, New Orleans death toll showsAge, not race, found to be biggest factor in deaths tied to devastating hurricaneBy PAUL KORING

Thursday, December 1, 2005 Page A3

WASHINGTON -- White residents of New Orleans were just as likely to die as black residents caught in hurricane Katrina's killing floods, death toll records show, exploding the media-fuelled myth that the city's black residents died in disproportionate numbers.

Of the 623 bodies identified to date from the greater New Orleans area, 293 are black and 262 are Caucasian, according to the latest numbers released this week by Louisiana's Department of Health and Hospitals. While race wasn't a key factor, age clearly was -- two-thirds of the victims were older than 60.

An analysis of areas of the predominantly black Orleans Parish and two adjacent, mostly white parishes shows that the death toll closely matched demographics. That picture -- of a colour-blind killer storm -- stands in sharp contrast to that of black people dying in droves because of an uncaring or delinquent relief effort.

"Two of the areas that were hardest hit were mostly white and upper-middle-class. . . . There were homes that were worth hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars that people were drowning in," said Jon Donley, editor of nola.com, the on-line arm of the Times-Picayune. "There's so much disinformation going on that this is just a part of it.

"There were major misconceptions, right from the beginning," Mr. Donley added.

Nola.com has been widely praised for its rapid, detailed reporting -- so detailed at times that the military was using it to locate victims in need of rescue.

Not all media outlets were so careful.

"We often let our presumptions jump ahead of the facts," said Tom Rosenstiel, director of Columbia University's Project for Excellence in Journalism. "We let our preconceived notions guide our news judgment."

The widely circulated scenes of angry people holed up in the Superdome and the New Orleans Convention Center mostly depicted blacks, and "we assumed they were a proxy for those who had died," Mr. Rosenstiel said.

But even senior politicians made unsubstantiated claims.

Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean, for instance, said U.S. citizens "have to come to terms with the ugly truth that skin colour, age and economics played a significant role in who survived and who did not."

The data collected by Louisiana state authorities and the Orleans coroner's office do not yield an economic breakdown of those who died.

Certainly Dr. Dean was right about age, although no one accused the government of not caring about the elderly, a group that tends to vote disproportionately for Republicans.

He, like many commentators and much of the media, was wrong about race, which seems to have played no role in the death toll, according to the latest numbers.

Of the 623 identified bodies from the greater New Orleans area, 268 or 39 per cent were older than 75. Another 150, or 25 per cent, were between 61 and 75. Another 88 were in their fifties. Only one child under 5, and another between 6 and 10, died.

Dozens of elderly people drowned after being abandoned in nursing homes. Even larger numbers died alone in their own homes after failing, refusing or being unable to leave, despite a mandatory evacuation order.

"Young people could climb on roofs or into attics," Mr. Donley said.

Indeed, what was memorable about the massive rescue effort by scores of military helicopters clattering above inundated neighbourhoods was the youth of most of those being hauled to safety.

The disproportionate death toll among the elderly "was almost entirely a failure of evacuation, not of response," Mr. Donley said.

Other claims, some far wilder but also widely broadcast and apparently unchecked, have also failed to stand up. Mayor Ray Nagin said in the midst of the crisis that thousands crammed into the Superdome were "watching hooligans killing people, raping people."

No murders or rapes were ever confirmed in the Superdome. Former New Orleans police chief Eddie Compass said on The Oprah Winfrey Show that babies were being raped and tourists were being beaten; he later admitted that he was repeating unconfirmed reports.

More bodies are still being found. The death toll in Louisiana stands at 1,086.

Of those, 893 are at the St. Gabriel morgue, which has become the collection point for greater New Orleans.

As yet, 270 have still not been identified, because many of the bodies were so badly decomposed by the time they were recovered that dental records or DNA testing will be needed to identify them.

Patriot Act Provision

An interesting artical via The Counterterrorisim blog.

Cigarette Smuggling & Meth Possession Provisions Certainly Belong in USA PATRIOT Act
Yesterday, Declan McCullough, a highly respected expert on the tech industry, criticized provisions in the PATRIOT Act conference report which would increase federal prosecutions for cigarette smuggling and increase penalties for possession of methamphetamine. He termed those and several other provisions "bizarre." Actually, cigarette smuggling and meth possession have a lot to do with terrorist methods, and the provisions addressing them certainly belong in the PATRIOT Act conference report.

Smuggling of various commodities, including cigarettes, has been an important means of terrorist funding around the world, as testified to before a Senate committee this summer by former Contributing Expert Matthew Levitt, now a senior official in the U.S. Treasury Department. One of the most important terrrorism prosecutions ever in the U.S. occurred in Charlotte, NC, over a Hezbollah interstate smuggling ring. Quoting from Matthew's Senate testimony:


In June 2002, the Hamoud brothers were convicted of a variety of charges including funding the activities of Hezbollah from the proceeds of an interstate cigarette smuggling ring. Seven other defendants pled guilty to a variety of charges stemming from this case, including conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, cigarette smuggling, money laundering and immigration violations.47 Mohammed Hassan Dbouk and his brother-in-law, Ali Adham Amhaz, ran the Canadian portion of this network under the command of Haj Hasan Hilu Laqis (Hezbollah's chief military procurement officer).

As testified to at that hearing and elsewhere, terrorists are involved in smuggling anything that makes money, including drugs such as pseudoepedrine and meth. A story today in the Venezuelan press reports the destruction of a huge cocaine lab in Columbia jointly operated by the FARC and AUC terrorist groups. As a former Administrator of the DEA testified in 2002,


Terrorism and drug trafficking organizations are often linked in a mutually beneficial relationship by money, geography, and tactical lawlessness. Drug trafficking provides terrorists with a steady revenue source to finance their operations. Twelve of the 28 organizations the Department of State has identified as "foreign terrorist organizations" have benefited from the illegal drug trade, including the Al Qaeda, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the Shining Path (Sendero Luminoso, SL), the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Lebanon-based Hizballah.
Considering the near-epidemic of meth addiction in parts of the U.S., a provision increasing penalties for possession is relevant to the PATRIOT Act in order to stop terrorist funding.

Showdown Coming on USA PATRIOT Act and Expiration Is a Victory for Terrorists
Sixteen provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act expire at the end of this month, and Congress has been debating, drafting, and voting on the future of the provisions for months. The two top Republican lawmakers, Rep. James Sensenbrenner and Sen. Arlen Specter, have agreed to a conference report, and the House will vote on the measure on Wednesday. Here are highlights in the report from the House Judiciary Committee website, where you can see the text of the report and more highlights:

• Permanently tears down “the wall” that had prevented information sharing between law enforcement and the intelligence community
• Makes permanent 14 of the 16 expiring PATRIOT Act provisions
• Places a 4-year sunset on Sections 206 and 215 of PATRIOT Act and the “lone wolf”
terrorist provision
• Expands and make permanent the law prohibiting material support to terrorists
• Enhances penalties for attacks against railroad and mass transit
• Makes certain air piracy crimes subject to the death penalty
• Establishes a judicial review process for a search of records under Section 215 that authorizes the judge to set aside, modify, or affirm a search order that has been challenged

Although the House has made dozens of changes in its draft to move towards the Senate (i.e., the 4-year sunset on controversial sections), a number of Republican Senators and Sen. Leahy, the leading Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, have threatened a filibuster, which could lead to expiration of the all 16 provisions.

We can't risk sending a message of retreat and defeat to the terrorists or to our allies by resurrecting the "wall" between intel and law enforcement and reducing the tools which have been available to law enforcement for 4 years. I don't pretend that the compromise is perfect, and Congress can and should continue its oversight of the actual results. But to date, the Inspector General of the Justice Department has reported no abuses of the Act; indeed, FBI agents are compaining that DOJ supervisors don't allow them to fully employ the Act. The time for final action is here, and Congress needs to pass the conference report on the USA PATRIOT Act.

WHAT IS THE PATRIOT ACT? WELL HERE IT IS:
