America fighting the Global War on Terror watches as anti-Hezbollah forces valiantly refuse to lie down.
The United Nations (the global joke on standing for peace and human rights) which has U.N. Peace Keeping Forces in Southern Lebanon watch as anti-Hezbollah forces valiantly refuse to lie down.
European Powers (France, Germany, Britain and EU) look the other way as anti-Hezbollah forces refuse to lie down.
Walid Phares equates the anti-Hezbollah forces to the Spartans legendary 300 that held Thermopylae against the invading superior military Persians long enough for the then usually internally fractured Greeks to come together to defeat Persia: The very Persia that calls itself today Iran.

Is this crazy or what? Code Pink brought witches to place spells and curses on a Marine recruiting center in Berkeley (Breitbart.tv feed – unsure how long it will be up). I mean is this evil or what? Witchcraft is definitely a form of anti-Christianity and then (whether you believe in this hoodoo or not) with evil intent wish evil upon a United States Marine Corps recruiting station and I am guessing all that are associated with it.
How nuts is that?
How un-American is that?
How anti-Christian is that?
There are two Archbishops in Britain duking it out verbally in public over the affect of Mohammedanism in Britain.
Ironically Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams appears to be the appeasement minded head of the Anglican Church that is calling for a multiculturalism that accepts Mohammedan Sharia Law to compete or override the British rule of law as it applies to enforcement in Britain.
The Archbishop of Rochester Michael Nazir-Ali by name is of Pakistani descent. Archbishop Nazir-Ali has been writing about how Mohammedanism is fracturing British society establishing in there are actually “no-go areas” for Brits in which the harshness of Sharia Law is exercised contrary to British Law.
Does America have this moronic appeasement to look forward to as Secular Humanists attempt to eradicate the influence of Christianity and accommodate the religion of Mohammedanism?

In the 1930’s the Japanese Empire had the military acumen to be a Super Power in Asia and the Pacific Islands in the Japanese sphere of influence. There was one problem Japan faced with their powerful military and hegemonic agenda. Japan did not have the natural resources to maintain a military in the event a nation with natural resources challenged the expansion of the Japanese Asian grip.
Japan needed oil and metals to be a powerhouse. Japan was fully aware their expansionism would collide with the National Interests of America eventually. Preparation was needed for this confrontation. The only logical solution for a nation with the hubris of go-it-alone self-determination was to prepare tactical scenarios to weaken or strike fear in the American government to try to mold a revision of the American National Interests in the Pacific and Asian economies.
After weighing the tactics it was decided to try to take out the strength of America’s Pacific Fleet; thus the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Like it or not oil is even more important today as a source of energy today than in the 1930’s. Oil has empowered the Islamist dream of a global Muslim spread of their religion in the style of the glory days of using the sword and fear exampled by their prophet Mohammed. Without oil the Middle East would still be a third rate collection of clannish dominated nations with Islam confined. Industrially or Economic powerhouses would have zero interest in camel jockey land and Muslim Middle Easterners would probably have no interests outside of regional clannish/national interests of petty squabbling.
Indeed though there is an abundance of oil in the Middle East and it is controlled by nations that serve the harshest and conservative interpretations of their Quran, Hadith, Sunna, etc.
America and Western Europe have been natural allies since the end of WWII. Present day Russia and the former Soviet Union had their own political agenda of spreading repressive Communism (really Russian hegemony in the name of Communism). China was somewhat under the Russian orbit of Communism but fiercely independent and weaker than Russia and America industrially.
As interdependent Globalism began to evolve in the economies of the world, things began to change.
Eastern Europe became liberated from the grasp of a weakened Russia after the fall of repressive Communism as the governing principle. Russia by no means the Super Power of the USSR days, but still powerful enough to have hegemonic designs in their immediate region.
Global economics suddenly saw the flow of capital into India and (ironically anti-capitalist) Communist China.
Suddenly China had the money to build a military infrastructure that will eventually challenge or test the strength of the current hyper-power America.
Globalism has conjoined the world into a global economy in which the power of capitalism (for better or worse) connected humanity for the first time in a state that transforms National Interests to the Global Interests of individuals.
There are two huge down sides to this Global Interest. There are still powerful nation-states that have developed cultural values that do not match the Global Interests.
America has iconized its Constitution as the measuring stick of what Freedom, Liberty, Civil Rights, Domestic Tranquility and the Pursuit of Happiness is. There is political polarization on defining the direction of those freedoms; nonetheless on both sides of the polls the essence of the Constitution is sacrosanct.
Western Europe has taken a more egalitarian definition of Liberty and Freedom that has led more to the rights of multicultural or group Liberty rather than individual Liberty; thus the attempt to balance what constitutes a hate crime or an offense to a cultural group or group phenomena.
The relatively new acquisition of freedom in Western Europe is trying to discover the path of American Liberty, European Liberty and the former rule of Law left behind from Soviet control.
Whether Russia has been Czarist, Communist or toying with the concepts of Democracy; has always been the State defines the welfare of the people. I believe Russia will eventually lose most of the tenets of Democracy to go back to what it knows best on how to govern their people; i.e. a combination of benevolence and the stick to inspire Russian Patriotism and Pride from the State. This means Russia will again challenge Europeans and America with their own hegemonic goals (at least regionally).
There is the Third World. The Third World struggles to instill Democracy while battling the evils of political and/or criminal corruption or they are just plain dominated by a strong man with some kind of military support to remain in power until a revolution or assassination replaces one strong man for another.
And of course there are the oil Baron Nations of which most are Muslim and being Muslim and feeling empowered by oil wish to spread political Islam globally.
So here is the problem: there is actually a Global Interest that affects individuals economically but no power structure to enforce the Global Interest. Why? The reason is the globe is still ruled by Nations – some good and some bad (and flowing to downright evil). Their ideologies clash forming diverging National Interests according to the ideology. When the National Interests clash it boils down to one mitigating factor in this day and age – oil and how to attain it economically.
The day that oil threatens the ideology of the Nation or Nations that have military clout regardless of ideology or religion, the next global war will occur.
Look around. Nations are slowly gravitating toward alliances (that may become official some day) in which the National Interests are shared and oil is the target.
Islamism may be the spark as the assassination of Franz Ferdinand was the spark for WWI; however it will be oil that is the prize sought.
I’ve written all this because America is focused (rightly so) on the Global War on Terror; however China is slowly becoming that nation (like Japan) that will be desperate for oil as a resource to the Asian and Pacific hegemon.
And again which nation is the greatest obstacle to acquiring oil and Asian hegemony? Yep, it is the United States of America.
A Chinese surprise attack will not be with planes launching from Chinese Air Craft Carriers on Pearl Harbor. It will start with surgical nukes from their submarine fleet that will first target global communications then military targets to cripple the best human fighting force the world has ever seen.
I don’t think I am exaggerating. READ THIS!
The Mainstream Media (MSM) is all in a blather (and so also Barack Hussein Obama) over a comment manipulated by the MSM of John McCain.
If you have not heard, the MSM is painting a picture that McCain said Hamas endorses Obama for President. Obama has tried to exploit this sound byte by being outraged that his Campaign receives the endorsement of the Murdering Muslim terrorist organization known as Hamas.
The reality is McCain was quoting a Hamas spokesman who indeed said Hamas preferred Obama over McCain for President of the United States.
Of course the Obama Campaign is going to reject such support as he has – uh – rejected and denounced racist Jeremiah Wright who Obama claims was his mentor and Pastor for over TWENTY YEARS. It would be political suicide to openly even hint publicly that Hamas has a case for destroying Jews and Israel off the planet earth.
After twenty years of association with Jeremiah Wright and a former association of Jew hating Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam I wonder what Obama privately believes.
Anyway, McCain’s point should be noticed. There must be a reason why Hamas fears a McCain Presidency and embraces an Obama Presidency.
Keep that in the back of your mind as you read this report from WorldNetDaily.com.
Now I know John Kerry is not in the Presidential hunt in 2008; however when I read an interview of a fellow captive with John McCain in North Vietnam’s torture prison camp known as Hanoi Hilton, I immediately thought of the difference of what a Dem thinks of decorated hero and what real Americans think decorated heroes are.
Supporters of Kerry’s war record are those that directly served on his boat and the reports given and written by Kerry himself in which top brass read then awarded citations of valor and medals. So there are documented facts yet different interpretations of those facts exist. There is a mystery of Kerry’s discharge from the Navy itself. The thing is serious some dispute of the validity of the documentation. So even after the long delay of Kerry allowing his war record to be released, doubters of Kerry’s war record have a good foundation to doubt. Besides a true American hero does not trash his fellow military comrades directly after leaving the Service if he indeed performed the acts the disputable documentation portrays.
It is no wonder that Kerry is part of the cut-n-run crowd which is actually a disappointing huge amount of people, not just Democratic Party politicians.
So I have taken one more shot at Senator Kerry for this reason. There is man running for President in 2008 who also is Vietnam Vet and there is little mystery of his heroism during the war or after. That candidate is Republican John McCain.
There are Leftists that are trying to debunk McCain’s war record attempting to do a Left Wing version of Swift Boating. However there is little mystery in facts and the conclusions that follow as with John Kerry. After the Vietnam War, McCain did NOT jump on the “I HATE AMERICA” Left Wing gravy train to infamy as Kerry did.
I found this website that is blatantly stinging toward John McCain record as a POW throwing doubt on the veracity of McCain’s medals. It reads like the words of vets in the John Kerry mold; i.e. veterans that hate their nation and their Service. Then the site links to another person who offers his negative opinion.
The site unwittingly mentions that Colonel George “Bud” Day nursed McCain back to health after being taken as a POW.
Oops! Bud Day does NOT corroborate the website’s disdain for McCain’s heroism. READ HERE. (McCain’s military records – HERE.)
Well – Well – Well! One of the most famous pollsters in the world has been caught validating conclusions from data that is dubious. That pollster organization is Gallup. The authors that cooked the data are John L. Esposito and Dalia Mogahed. The books title is "Who Speaks for Islam?" The end game of the book is to establish the amount of 1.6 billion of the world’s Muslims that are radical Islamists is very miniscule.
In an interview Mogahed (probably unwittingly) showed the data gathering was flawed as well as the way in which the conclusions were derived.
So again I say WAKE UP AMERICA! Mohammedan civilization is NOT compatible with Western civilization’s evolved democratic principles of Liberty, Freedom and the Pursuit of Happiness; and that especially applies to America. European democracy has been so infected with egalitarian tolerance that radical Mohammedans use Western principles to slowly infect Europe’s Western culture with the virus of Islamism.
I was alerted to this pro-Mohammedan propaganda by Act! For America in an email. The email informs this:
Cooking the Books to Mask the Number of Islamic Radicals
In a stunning illustration of how apologists for militant Islam flat-out distort the truth, Robert Satloff writes in the Weekly Standard how John Esposito and Dalia Mogahed “cooked the books” to make their own data appear to show there were only a small percentage of “radical” Muslims worldwide.
Esposito and Mogahed make the claim that only 7% of Muslims worldwide are “radical.” That amounts to about 91 million Muslims. No small number.
But a closer examination of their data reveal that the number of those who are “radical” is actually at least twice that many, and more likely three to four times that many – or between 300 million and 480 million Muslims worldwide!
To discover just how they pulled off this sleight of hand, click on the link below to read Satloff’s article.

I received an email from Allyson of Shariah Finance Watch. The name of the blog alone should be a hint to the nature of the email.
Allyson writes that the Governor of New York signed in to Law the Libel Terrorism Protection Act. I will hence forward refer to LTPA as Allyson does – Rachel’s Law.
There is a good reason for Rachel’s Law. Rachel Ehrenfeld wrote a book entitled Funding Evil. The book is an exposé on Islamist networks funding terrorist activities from the West that go toward the agenda of violent jihad, which means the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT).
I say “The West” but the brains of much the Western Terrorist fund raising originates from Saudi Arabia, Iran, the Muslim Brotherhood and the Muslim Brotherhood’s loose offshoots like Hamas of Palestine and Jamaat ul-Fuqra of Pakistan (a mere few).
Rachel’s Law emerged because a Saudi billionaire – Khalid bin Mahfouz – sued Ehrenfeld for placing his name among the funders of evil. In America bin Mahfouz would have to prove his case as the plaintiff that Ehrenfeld tarnished his name. Of course that would not happen and Mahfouz would risk American scrutiny of his operations by being forced to divulge discovery documentation or witnesses that the defense would ask for (Hello CAIR and Andrew Whitehead). So what did bin Mahfouz do?
He sued Ehrenfeld in the United Kingdom where the book Funding Evil was never published thus was not on the British Market. BUT some correctly curious British citizens purchased the book somehow (I forget the details; it was by Internet or other means). At the time I believe we are talking less than ten.
Bin Mahfouz utilized British Civil Law to sue Ehrenfeld who is NOT a British citizen for defamation. Guess what? In Britain (and much of Europe) the Defendant has to prove they did not injure or defame the Plaintiff rather than the other way around as in America.
Ehrenfeld is not a British Citizen and chose not to raise the money for an expensive lawsuit in a foreign nation that was backed by a billionaire’s money. She did not show up.
The British moronic Judge (or whatever they call them in the UK) decided to sock it too Ehrenfeld with a heavy financial judgment in favor of bin Mahfouz.
Now International Law comes into play. Can the International Community (that would be the auspices of the UN) force a U.S. citizen to pay damages awarded a foreigner in a foreign Court under proceedings that would be Unconstitutional in America?
The Law was (and still is in other States) murky in America.
Ehrenfeld began to fight back in America. First she went to the New York State Court system seeking legal protection. The New York Courts ultimately ruled they had no jurisdiction over a foreign Court.
Then politicians in the State of New York got behind Ehrenfeld because bin Mahfouz’s British Judicial Award affected publishing houses in New York (and America) that did business Internationally at least in marketing. Publishing houses would not publish anti-Jihad or anti-Islamist books for fear of a foreign Civil Suit.
Thank God the New York Legislature stepped up to the plate and passed Rachel’s Law which was signed into law on May 1st.
It doesn’t stop in New York though. There are 49 other States in America’s Union. The fight is going on to make Rachel’s Law a national law.
Here is the email I received from Allyson:
Want to Protect your First Amendment Rights? Then please help preserve them, by making a contribution to support the hero behind Rachels Law! This is very important!
Email Sent: Wed 5/7/2008 7:14 PM
Dear Journalists, Blogers, Writers and Readers: Please help preserve our First Amendment rights - the cornerstone of American democracy!
Is preserving Freedom of Speech worth $10, $15, or $20.00 to you?
Please consider making a small donation to the efforts of Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld, the force behind the recently enacted Rachel’s Law, New York’s Libel Terrorism Protection Act which was signed by New York Governor David Patterson on May 1, 2008. Dr. Ehrenfeld has struggled on behalf of all of us for the past four years to pass a bill protecting the First Amendment from foreign libel lawsuits. According to R. James Woolsey, former Director of the CIA: “Rachel Ehrenfeld has done all serious students of this long war in which we are engaged a great service…”
Simply click here: http://www.acdemocracy.org/support.php#donate to contribute. If everybody will make a small contribution, it will allow Dr. Ehrenfeld to continue her critically important work. This law is only the start of what is required to ensure that American authors and publishers can write and distribute works that deal with funding terrorism and publish work vital to our national security without fear of being driven to bankruptcy.
Background
Following the publication of her book Funding Evil: How Terrorism is Financed - and How to Stop It, published in the U.S. in 2003, Dr. Ehrenfeld identified Khalid bin Mahfouz, a billionaire banker to the Saudi royal family as a leading terrorism financier. In 2004, Bin Mahfouz responded by suing Ehrenfeld — not in the U.S., but in England, which is friendlier to libel claims because 23 copies of Funding Evil had entered England through on-line sales.
Rather than back down, Ehrenfeld courageously chose to fight the false charges and worked to preserve the First Amendment rights that are the cornerstone of American democracy. Rachel’s Law will protect American journalists and authors from foreign lawsuits that infringe on First Amendment rights. This law, however, is only the start of what is required to ensure that American authors and publishers can write and distribute works that deal with funding terrorism and publish work vital to our national security without fear of being driven to bankruptcy.
(attention other bloggers, please post this, and lets support this effort which affects all of us. This is the first time on my blog I have requested a donation, because this is an effort that protects us too.)
I went to check out Allyson’s blog and have discovered that there is now a national move in Congress to enact a Federal version of Rachel’s Law. You need to read it to keep informed on keeping our First Amendment rights untouchable from foreign Courts, foreign Islamists funding evil and local Islamists in America that support Libel Terrorism.
For all the bleeding heart Leftists wondering why Gitmo exists, READ THIS.

US: Ex-Guantanamo prisoner carried out Iraq suicide attack
May 7, 2008 11:50 AM CT
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - The U.S. military is confirming that a former Guantanamo detainee from Kuwait carried out a recent suicide attack in northern Iraq.
A spokesman for U.S. military's Central Command told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Abdallah Salih al-Ajmi took part in an attack in Mosul.
U.S. Navy Cmdr. Scott Rye says authorities don't know the motive for the attack, which was reported last week by Dubai-based Al-Arabiya television. Iraqi security forces were apparently targeted.
The U.S. transferred al-Ajmi to Kuwaiti custody from Guantanamo in 2005. A Kuwaiti court later acquitted him of terrorism charges.
