Delivering the goods to our enemies. From spy drones to entire naval ships, Democrats have a knack for sharing secrets.


Spies generally manage to steal small samplings of classified information, usually on microfilm or digital thumb drives but when it comes to stealing really big loads of classified material it takes a concerted effort by highly placed people who have senior rankings in the government or the military to make the command decisions.
Thanks to the lack of action by our pro-Muslim leader Barack Hussein Obama, a one-time Muslim himself, our greatest threat in the Middle East now has in its possession a completely intact, top secret spy drone aircraft. How many secrets the Iranians can retrieve from this high-tech spy machine is the cause of great concern in Washington and in particular the Defense Department. As reported by Pamela Geller on Atlas Shrugs,

Obama Rejected Numerous Proposals to Retrieve Lost U.S. Drone: Officials Confirm Authenticity of Iranian TV Images Showing Drone


Apart from the obvious -- Islamic Iran, China and Russia now have state-of-the-art stealth technology and we lose a killer app in the war against the enemies of freedom, the most troubling aspect of this story is that Obama had a window of opportunity to retrieve the critical intelligence gathering drone and rejected it. He left it there for the murdering mullahs.
With early knowledge that the aircraft had likely remained intact, the senior U.S. official also told Fox News that President Obama was presented with three separate options for retrieving or destroying the drone. The president ultimately decided not to proceed with any of the plans because it could have been seen as an act of war.
But this drone wasn't the first piece of classified technology our government has allowed to fall into enemy hands. And looking at the way Democrats handle foreign relations it probably won't be the last. Does anyone remember the story of how the U.S. Navy sat on their hands and allowed the intelligence gathering spy ship, USS Pueblo, be captured by the North Korean Navy on January 23, 1968? The aircraft carrier USS Enterprise was only 510 miles away yet no aircraft were dispatched to ward off the North Korean vessels during the hours long attack. Quoting one line from the Wikipedia story: "Radio contact between the Pueblo and the Naval Security Group in Kamiseya, Japan had been ongoing during the incident. As a result, Seventh Fleet command was fully aware of Pueblo's situation. Air cover was promised but never arrived." And this all sounds like a set up to me and furthermore, it was another Democrat named Lyndon Johnson who was in the White House when this happened. 
USS Pueblo (AGER-2) U.S. Navy photo.
There is a wealth of data about this event both on Wikipedia and on a web site dedicated to the crew and their story of that ship, but I heard the story first hand from one of the crew, radio officer Lee R. Hayes who was a guest in my house while on a speaking tour in the early 1970's. It is hard to believe but absolutely true that the tiny, 177 ft. long, ship with a crew of 76 men had been ordered to carry 11 tons of Classified documents and that the only means of destroying those papers was in a small gas stove. And according to official records, the crew was unable to destroy most of it before being boarded thus allowing the Communist North Korean government total access to this classified material. See the Wikipedia reference, Robert E. Newton (1992). "The Capture of the USS Pueblo and Its Effect on SIGINT Operations".

The making of a phony hero, how to transform the leftist image of Barack Hussein Obama.

Anyone who watches cop dramas on television knows about the 'good cop' 'bad cop' technique used in interrogations. The bad cop conducts a brutal questioning of a suspect and then the good cop steps in and says a few nice things to win the suspects friendship and get the answers. Right now, Obama has all the aspects of a really bad cop/politician. He is as corrupt as any that has been vomited from the bowels of Chicago politics. He has looted the U.S. Treasury to fill the pockets of his supporters and virtually bankrupted America in the process. His popularity ratings are almost as low as that of Congress itself. In other words, Obama is in desperate need of an image makeover.
While Obama is as far left as anyone who has ever occupied the White House, he is being portrayed by his leftist supporters in the news media as something akin to middle of the road Democrat. But that isn't enough to sway the voters. So he needed something concrete to boost his image. Those asshole Republicans who we gave control of the House of Representatives to in the 2010 elections joined in supporting some Orwellian measures attached to the National Defense Authorization Act and HR 1540 was passed by 95 Democrats and 227 Republicans. Later on, the Senate passed their version of S.1867 with 48 Democrats and 44 Republicans.
Now of course, appropriating money for the National Defense is a popular thing among conservatives and so is fighting terrorism but I wonder how many read the amendments that were tacked on to the bill and considered how a would be tyrant could use them. The Orwellian proposal contained in Section 1031, now passed by Congress to allow the U.S. military to violate the Posse Comitatus Act, a United States federal law prohibiting members of the military from exercising powers that maintain "law and order" on non-federal property and arrest and detain, without rights, any U.S. citizen whom the government has suspected of being enemies of the United States.
SEC. 1031. of National Defense Authorization Act reads AFFIRMATION OF AUTHORITY OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES TO DETAIN COVERED PERSONS PURSUANT TO THE AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE. None other than the ACLU has described this as: "The worldwide indefinite detention without charge or trial provision is in S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act bill..."
Now the questionable section of this bill has portrayed the U.S. government as being on the verge of a Police State. So who comes to our rescue riding high on his white horse? None other that the most leftist anti-American politician in Washington, Barack Hussein Obama. And in today's news as reported by ABC affiliate WCPO in Cincinnati,
Obama makes push to change terror bill

By DONNA CASSATA Associated Press
WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama and his national security team are appealing to lawmakers for last-minute changes to a sweeping defense bill that mandates military custody for terrorism suspects linked to al-Qaida, including those captured within the U.S.
The legislation is caught in an escalating dispute between the White House and Congress over the politically charged issue of whether to treat suspected terrorists as prisoners of war or criminals.

There it is. Obama the good cop. Obama, friend of Muslims worldwide, friend of the New Black Panther Party, friend of domestic terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, now opposes this bill to allow the apprehension of American citizens and deny them their Constitutional Rights. This works well for Obama both ways. First, conservatives and independents are afraid that since Homeland Security has already classified Pro-Life, 2nd Amendment supporters and returning military veterans as possible domestic terrorists (while ignoring the followers of radical Islamic fundamentalism who comprise 99.9% of all the terrorists apprehended in America) it would or could be those conservatives who are against Obama who would be rounded up and put in a concentration camp. Second, the actual Islamic terrorists now won't have to worry that they will be rounded up and sent to those real concentration camps after Obama has the bill changed.
Read my blog from Friday, December 2, 2011 for more info on that last part: Who are the enemies of America and what does the government plan to do with them?
So wait and see the leftist news media make a really big deal when their hero Barack Hussein Obama convinces Congress to remove Section 1031 from the National Defense Authorization Act and saves America from the Gulag. Not too surprising since he is trying to improve his image and get reelected next year.

 


Birds of a feather flock together. Obama returns to Weather Underground haunt and channels Hugo Chavez's communist view on capitalism.

Where else can you find such concise historical research then in Trevor Loudon's New Zeal Blog in, of all places, New Zealand. At the end of my own commentary the following comes from Trevor's blog. Our esteemed great leader, Barack Hussein Obama, one time Muslim and lifelong friend of those genuine domestic terrorists from the Weather Underground… Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, traveled to a little town in Kansas to give a speech the other day. Here are Bill Ayers' and Bernadine Dohrn's bios on Wikipedia:
William Charles "Bill" Ayers (born December 26, 1944)[1] is an American elementary education theorist and a former leader in the movement that opposed U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. He is known for his 1960s activism as well as his current work in education reform, curriculum, and instruction. In 1969 he co-founded the Weather Underground, a self-described communist revolutionary group[2] that conducted a campaign of bombing public buildings during the 1960s and 1970s, in response to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. He is a retired professor in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, formerly holding the titles of Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar.[3] During the 2008 US presidential campaign, a controversy arose over his contacts with candidate Barack Obama. He is married to Bernardine Dohrn, who was also a leader in the Weather organization.
Bernardine Rae Dohrn (née Ohrnstein, born January 12, 1942) is a former leader of the American anti-Vietnam War radical organization, Weather Underground. She is an Associate Professor of Law at Northwestern University School of Law and the immediate past Director of Northwestern's Children and Family Justice Center. She is married to Bill Ayers, a co-founder of the Weather Underground.
Here is an introduction to that Obama speech in Kansas from Forbes magazine.
Obama Channels Hugo Chavez, Shows Why He Can't Lead On The Economy

On Tuesday, President Obama went to Osawatomie High School in Kansas to deliver an address framing the economic issues for the 2012 election.  He was following in the footsteps of turn of the century “progressive” Teddy Roosevelt, who spoke at that same site 100 years ago to rail against big corporations and the privileged, while calling for “fair play” for ordinary Americans.
But the speech only showed why Obama can’t lead America on the economy.  Instead of leading us forward into the modern economics of the 21st century, he keeps reaching back into the economics and politics of old – the failed Keynesian economics of Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s, the disastrous stagflation of Jimmy Carter in the 1970s, and the supposed promise of progressivism 100 years ago, before the demonstrated failures of Marxism worldwide in the 20th century.

And here is the little history lesson about Obama's terrorist friends, courtesy of Trevor Loudon.
Posted: 08 Dec 2011 03:58 PM PST
Why would Barack Obama choose to give a controversial speech attacking American capitalism in Osawatomie, Kansas?
Hang on? Where have I heard that name before? Osawatomie? ….back in the ’70s? Weather Underground terrorists… Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn. Didn’t Obama used to hang out with those guys?
I remember! Osawatomie was the publication of the Weather Underground!
No, surely its a coincidence….
Just sayin.’

Negative attitudes towards Islam on the rise in Europe

Negative attitudes towards Islam on the rise in Europe

Dear Nelson,

A recent study in Europe found that half of Europeans now believe Islam is a religion of intolerance (see story below).

This is revealing, because for decades European countries and Great Britain have bent over backwards to accommodate Muslim immigrants and increasingly unreasonable demands from Islamic leaders and organizations.

Pushback by Europeans has resulted in the Swiss passage of a referendum banning the construction of minarets and the growing strength of Geert Wilders’ political party in the Netherlands.


It appears that, as more and more Europeans have seen the intolerance of radical Islam, they are understandably reacting negatively to that intolerance.

This is what leaders like German Chancellor Angela Merkel and British Prime Minister David Cameron were referring to last year when they said, speaking of Muslim immigration, that “multiculturalism” had failed. Cameron went so far as to say it was time to stop being tolerant of intolerance.

The same trend is happening in America, with polls showing negative attitudes towards Islam on the rise. From the Ground Zero Mosque controversy to the rise of homegrown terrorism, Americans are waking up to the threat of radical Islam.

Groups like CAIR and ISNA will continue to claim this is all about worldwide Islamophobia. They claim that people have negative views of Islam because they aren’t exposed to “genuine” Islam.

But the mounting evidence argues that the more people in the West are exposed to Islam, the less they like what they see. Reformist Muslim Tawfik Hamid is correct—it’s time for the Muslim world to stop pointing fingers of blame at the West and start examining itself.



EU: Half of Europeans say Islam is a religion of intolerance

http://europenews.dk/en/node/50157


The Friedrich-Ebert-Foundation published a study on intolerance and prejudice in Europe. The study "Intolerance, Prejudice and Discrimination" is available in German and English. I bring below the section relating to Muslims.


After statistical testing, three statements were used to produce the anti-Muslim attitudes mean scale (Table 7, items 18 to 20). These cover the general impression that there are too many Muslims in the country, the charge that Muslims make too many demands, and broad-brush criticism of Islam as a religion of intolerance. Four further statements were surveyed in a random half of the sample. These cover a positive attitude that sees Muslims as an enrichment and the idea that there are great cultural differences between the majority society and Muslims, especially concerning attitudes towards women. We also surveyed the idea that Muslims generally support and condone terrorism.

In most of the countries a majority believe Islam to be a religion of intolerance, with agreement just below 50 percent only in Great Britain and the Netherlands. In almost all the countries more than half of respondents said that Muslims make too many demands; Portugal was the only exception with about one third. The statement that there are too many Muslims in the country is affirmed by just over one quarter in Portugal and by about one third in France. In Germany, Great Britain, Italy and the Netherlands more than 40 percent of respondents complain that there are too many Muslims in their country, in Hungary about 60 percent.

Interviewees were also asked to respond to four further statements covering perceived cultural differences and supposed affinity of Muslims toward terrorism (Table 7, items 22 to 25). Despite correlating closely with anti-Muslim attitudes these items represent separate constructs and were therefore excluded from the scale measure.

The figures for those who say that Muslim culture is compatible with their own range from 17 percent in Poland and 19 percent in Germany to about half the population in Portugal and France. A majority of more than 70 percent of European respondents find that Muslim attitudes towards women are incompatible with their own values. Overall in the surveyed countries about one third think that Muslims treat Islamist terrorists as heroes, although somewhat fewer believe that terrorism finds moral support in the Muslim community (ranging from under 20 percent in Germany and the Netherlands to nearly 30 percent in Hungary).

The scale created from the first three statements clearly illustrates the extent of anti-Muslim attitudes in the studied countries (Figure 5). It is conspicuous that Europeans are largely united in their rejection of Muslims and Islam. The significantly most widespread anti-Muslim attitudes are found in Germany, Hungary, Italy and Poland, closely followed by France, Great Britain and the Netherlands. The extent of anti-Muslim attitudes is least in Portugal. In absolute terms, however, the eight countries differ little in their levels of prejudice towards Muslims.

A headline that speaks for itself. From that great lady crusader Pamela Geller on Atlas Shrugs.

 

Iran's Revolutionary Guards prepare for war, Obama Goes on 17-Day vacation

Click this link to read the story in case you need some details.

  

Kentucky Tea Party group, ignores details, endorses the very unfair Fair Tax.

Kentucky is horse country yet some people who live here still don't know why draft horses wear blinders. In case you are unaware of what blinders are, they are masks placed on the outside of a horses eyes to prevent it from seeing what is around it. In other words, to keep the horse looking straight ahead and not get distracted. And don't forget, the horse doesn't put the blinders on himself, someone has to do it.

So now we have a proposed new tax bill submitted in Congress last January that would eliminate the Federal Income Tax, eliminate the IRS and all those nasty tax collectors, eliminate all those nasty Federal taxes that some or most people are required to pay and substitute it for a whopping 23% Federal Sales Tax on everyone. The bill tracking web site, Open Congress, described the provisions of HR 25, the bill written by Republican Congressman Rob Woodall from Georgia. In exchange for getting rid of all those nasty taxes and those nasty tax collectors, HR 25, the so-called Fair Tax bill would cause everyone to pay a 23% Federal Sales Tax on top of all state and local sales, property and use taxes for the "use or consumption of all goods, properties and services". Since the bill only eliminates current Federal Taxes it has no affect on state and local taxes. That means everyone's utility bills would go up 23%, everyone's property taxes would go up 23%, along with the gasoline in your car and the car registration and the insurance you buy for your car and your home, movie theater tickets and, of course, all the clothing and other hard line merchandise you buy. But how about your doctor's visits or prescriptions or your food, will they also go up 23%? And in case these myopic Tea Party conservatives didn't realize it, Senior Citizens who subside on pensions and Social Security, don't pay any Income Tax now because they don't have income. So now this proposed bill will add an additional 23% hardship on every retired person living in America. The dumbest statement in their email that announced the meeting to promote this bill was "The FairTax taxes us only on what we choose to spend on new goods or services, not on what we earn." Retired people usually spend all of their pensions on the things they need and have little left over.

OpenCongress Summary

This bill would eliminate all federal income taxes, payroll taxes and the estate tax, and replace them with a federal sales tax of 23% on the use or consumption of all goods, properties and services. The Internal Revenue Service would be abolished and replaced by an Excise Tax Bureau and a Sales Tax Bureau in the Department of the Treasury.

From an email by the Northern Kentucky Tea Party:

The FairTax plan is a comprehensive proposal that replaces all federal income and payroll based taxes with an integrated approach including a progressive national retail sales tax, a prebate to ensure no American pays federal taxes on spending up to the poverty level, dollar-for-dollar federal revenue neutrality, and, through companion legislation, the repeal of the 16th Amendment. The FairTax Act (HR 25, S 13) is nonpartisan legislation.
 
It abolishes all federal personal and corporate income taxes, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, and self-employment taxes and replaces them with one simple, visible, federal retail sales tax administered primarily by existing state sales tax authorities. The FairTax taxes us only on what we choose to spend on new goods or services, not on what we earn. The FairTax is a fair, efficient, transparent, and intelligent solution to the frustration and inequity of our current tax system.
The Northern Kentucky Tea Party has done a few good things in the past but they have also taken some strange, off-the-wall positions on other issues. They have pushed for a new Constitutional Convention while ignoring the warnings from the experts that said such a convention could rewrite the entire Constitution and throw out our Bill of Rights. I made this point in one of the first posts in this blog on Tuesday, September 8, 2009: Beware of a new Constitutional Convention.  Now the Tea Party is pushing another proposal without paying attention to the details. And the fact is, the Devil is in the details.
And, just as Barack Hussein Obama has issued exemptions to his socialized medicine Obamacare law to all of his union supporters, it can be anticipated that if and when this FairTax law passes that we will all be begging the Federal government to exempt something we are required to pay an additional 23% on. There is nothing fair about that.

Why are Republicans ignoring the same things about Obama as the liberal news media?

I just read a damning indictment against the liberal, mainstream news media that itemizes a list of serious issues about Barack Hussein Obama that they have ignored. I want to turn things around here a little bit because it isn't just the mainstream news media that has been ignoring these things, it is the National Republican Party as well. The fact is that the liberal news media knows that Obama is a most vulnerable politician if he himself were the target of a political attack. So why hasn't the Republican Party realized this, too? That is why the news media has covered up Obama's questionable background and raised one smoke screen after another to distract the American public. So why have so many Republicans failed to direct their criticisms directly about Obama? Why has virtually every Republican ignored Obama's childhood  background that questions his citizenship since he was adopted by an Indonesian stepfather, his fraudulent birth certificate that he showed America on April 27, 2011, his fake social security number, his long-time legal effort to hide his personal records, the issues of his past associations with communists such as Frank Marshal Davis, whom Obama mentions in his own book was his childhood mentor? All that in addition to what is contained below. I read this first on Atlas Shrugs and it deserves to be passed around. Maybe even sent to our Republican members of Congress to ask them to explain it.

Things About Obama That Didn’t Matter To the MSM

We gave the Republican Party a majority in the House last year through the efforts of the Tea Party explosion but the party leadership seems to have canceled all the momentum. Maybe we need to elect new leaders in 2012 and get rid of those RINOs.

  

Trouble in paradise. A 14-year old Muslim girl in Barbados explains her religion.

From the BARBADOS FREE PRESS, November 26, 2010, c/o Jihad Watch. These are the views of Islam through the innocent eyes of a 14-year old Muslim girl who doesn't realize how revealing her comments are or how much she has been misled.
Barbados Muslim Girls School, 14 year old student: “Nothing wrong with beheading, chopping off your hands, severe beatings”

What values are taught at Al-Falah Muslim School?
“Hijab is compulsory… hide woman’s beauty as protection from rape.”
“Beheading, chopping off your hands, severe beatings are Islamic rules, nothing wrong in it.”
When a dozen or so girls from the Al-Falah Islamic School recently participated in the Long Beach clean-up while wearing Muslim dress and veils, Barbados Free Press wrote The Muslim vision of the future for all Barbadian women and republished a photo of the group. (shown above, courtesy of The Nation)

Three of the students in the photo placed comments on our article – and what they have to say is most disturbing.

Naively, the 14 to 16 year old girl students of the Al-Falah Muslim School simply wrote the truth as they see it and revealed values and standards that are totally at odds with our society.

No person in Barbados, and especially in the Ministry of Education, can read their comments and not be concerned about what is being taught at the Al-Falah Muslim School.
In the past, Barbados Free Press questioned the text books used and the lessons taught at our Muslim schools. BFP asked what the Ministry of Education is doing to supervise a curriculum that is largely created and sometimes directly delivered (electronically and via publications) from Saudi Arabia.
This concern about Muslim schools is worldwide as advances in technology allow Saudi Arabia to export their values and standards to children in Muslim schools everywhere.
“PUPILS at Islamic schools across Britain are being taught how to chop off a criminal’s hand and that Jews are conspiring to take over the world, a BBC investigation has found.”
(Give thanks and a Banks beer to Jihad Watch for the link)
Barbados is not immune from the same type of problems being experienced in the UK.
Posted below is the full comment written by the teenage girl student from the Barbados Al-Falah Muslim School. You’ll find a link to the other two comments as well.
Are the values and standards shown in the comments an acceptable result for a school in Barbados?
Is teaching that that there is nothing wrong in mutilation and beheading for offences against Muslim Sharia law acceptable in our country’s schools?
Is it proper to teach that the onus is on women to prevent rape by “covering their beauty”?
You want to know what is taught at the Barbados Al-Falah Muslim School?
Here it is…
(Bold highlighting on interesting statements added by BFP)

Since my two friends have alread placed their views above^ I will state my own views and hope you people comprehend it.
First off, we went to the beach for a Geography project DUNDUNDUN!
Second off it was also to help OUR country ’cause we are Barbadians. Isn’t this a good deed of ours Yes it is.
Third off, Everyone has five fingers and they are all differnet. This is the reason why some where complete Hijab and some don’t.
Every muslim is different so stop comparing us Barbadian muslims to the Pakis .. who rage war all the time and are terrorists. I as a muslim can tell you that NO REAL MUSLIM would ever hurt any innocent lives and if they do, may Allah Ta’ala forgive those brothers and sisters.
Fourth, have you all forgotten we all came from the same people? Adam and Hawa, known as (Eve)? Or do you just think we are aliens from outer space? Someone said that muslims don’t drive but I can prove you wrong. Women do drive, so that person is a “fail”.
Fifth, The person called Jane who goes to the site “crossmuslims” wher i talks about things which aren’t true about us, you are seriously misinformed. You know why? Because our beloved prophet whom we LOVE so much more than wealth, family, life, even your husband, mother and father (but not god)! He was a prfect exampe of what ANY PERSON should be like. He was no rapist or pedophile or “nutjob”. He never had sexual intercourse with Aisha (r.a). She remained a chaste woman for her entire life. Those who say he was a pedophile, May Allah Ta’ala forgive you! This is God’s most beloved person and you talked about him in this way, I surely don’t know what punishment awaits those people, but it ain’t good :/.
Sixth, the people in this picture, these girls (including me) we are only from the ages 14-16.
We pose no threat to this country, we only wish to live in peace and spread our wonderous religion to those who want to join. We don’t force non-muslims to embrace Islam. So whatever foolishness I read above about “forcing people to accept Islam and muslims are the most perverted etc” is all false. People even mentioned the 9/11 incident. Well…guess what my fellow brother and sisters..NEWS FLASH! we aren’t pakis..we are BARBADIANS, so why do you continue to compare us? Who knows why, only god does. Maybe the media hs corruted your minds already enough. You know once one of my friends got asked “we dont even know wuh wunna does got unduh dah thing! wana cud be hidin guns!” < This is a perfect example of how the media corrupted people’s minds to think that all muslims are terrorist. I despise the media tbh.
Seventh, I’ve decided to give you people a few pointers on Muslims:
a) muslims are NOT terrorists ( those who are terrorists ar not muslims, they pretend to be muslims to make us look bad, common knowledge)
b) Hijab is compulsory on anyone who has reached the age of puberty. Reason being to hide one’s beauty so no unfortunate events occur. Eg, rape. It’s a form of protection. Did you hear that? Feel it..embrace it! It protects us!
c) Muslims are suppse to be peaceful and loving. Onc again (NOT TERRORIST)!
d) The prophet was not a pedophile. Do not make a mockery of what you don’t know. That is a sin in EVERY religion. Common knowledge once again.
e)MUSLIM WOMEN CAN DRIVE! DUHHH (im plannign to getmy license next year, no one is stopping me).
f)FACT – Did you guys even know that the Government system was etablished by the muslims? Yes it was. After the prophet died there were leaders after him, one was calle Umar and he etalished te governent system for the first time. So what is sooooooooooo wrong about muslims leading for an era once more? What if a muslim became prime minister? What do you think she’s going to do? Kick you all out? Enslave you? Make you accept Islam? Kil you? CHop yur heads off? pleaseeeeeeeeee That is all nonsense. Se woud rule like anyone else. She would possibly invite you towards islam but not force you, nor kill you, nor kick you out, nor eat you alive, nor enslave you. I will say it once again, Islam is a religion of Peace. Get that through your thick skulls!
I wonder if there is anywhere in your studies tat tell you about who brought about the government system..
g) Oh and we are not perverts…we may think like normals girls and boys but we are not perverted in the way of pedophilia, racism, raping..etc (But apparently some christian priests are?? O.o)
h) There are different types of muslims(bet you never knew that) I am A Suni muslim – this type of muslim is said to be the better of the others judging on the beliefs. The different muslims have different beliefs about Islam.
i)If the 9/11 attack was really caused by “muslims” then by my knowledge^ and what I said you should come to know that those couldn’t be real muslims, as we would not do anything of the sort. Btw Bush has always had it out for us :/.
j) Beheading..chopping off your hands, severe beatings,etc. Are strict Islamic rules and these are the things that were done during our prophets time and are continued till this day to follow the tradition, there is nothing wrong in it. These things are done to teach lessons so they won’t commit the act ever again. Once in the past a father had to give his OWN son for consumng alcohol (but he was unaware he had drank alcohol tho) a number of lashses which resulted in his death.
k) If you didn’t know, then I will tell you that in the times before many people had accepted Islam because of our prophet’s sublime character not by the way of the sword. If only the Christans from before had listened to the prophet, then all of this confusion (this as an example) would not be happening. What a wonderful world this would be..
If we had all opened our eyes to see…
Ok i think I made myself clear, thanks for reading this if you did.
I hope you guys understand some new thins about us :)
I hope I helped.
I hope I become a great scholar one day.
I hope Inshallah that next time things won’t get out of hand because of our Geography projects ;) .
Bye for now!

Who are the enemies of America and what does the government plan to do with them?

There is a piece of logic that, like a double-edged sword, cuts the same way in both directions. It says that "anyone who is not on my side must be against me". The importance of this logic is trivial when used in a social context but when the Federal government says the same thing it takes on a horrendous implication. When the all-mighty Federal government declares that it must prepare for situations to deal with enemies of America it takes on a completely different meaning after you read who and what they have already defined it considers those enemies to be. Us! Those same radical domestic terrorists who drive around with Pro-Life, 2nd Amendment or third party bumper stickers on their cars and those military veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan who hold a grudge against our country for sending them into battle with unloaded weapons.

Following the Islamic motivated attacks on America on 9-11-2001 Congress hastily passed The Patriot Act. Then they created the Department of Homeland Security. Then Homeland Security issued two revealing documents that identified the targets of their concerns about domestic terrorists. (U//FOUO) Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment and (U//FOUO) Domestic Extremism Lexicon. Then, in 2009, Democrat leftist Rep. Alcee L. Hastings from Florida introduced H.R. 645, which was described by the very knowledgeable columnist Jerome R. Corsi, in a WorldNet Daily News story:  Bill creates detention camps in U.S. for 'emergencies' Sweeping, undefined purpose raises worries about military police state posted on February 01, 2009, as "calling for the secretary of homeland security to establish no fewer than six national emergency centers for corralling civilians on military installations." "The proposed bill, which has received little mainstream media attention, appears designed to create the type of detention center that those concerned about use of the military in domestic affairs fear could be used as concentration camps for political dissidents, such as occurred in Nazi Germany."

Waiting a few years till the ripples of discontent had subsided and citizens memories faded we then have in the last few days another bill, S.1867 which has just passed in the Senate. The National Defense Authorization Act bill contains the following section. SEC. 1031. AFFIRMATION OF AUTHORITY OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES TO DETAIN COVERED PERSONS PURSUANT TO THE AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE. None other than the ACLU has described this as: "The worldwide indefinite detention without charge or trial provision is in S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act bill, which will be on the Senate floor on Monday. The bill was drafted in secret by Sens. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) and passed in a closed-door committee meeting, without even a single hearing."
Do a Google search on "concentration camps in America" and you will find thousands of stories, mostly written by, for want of another word, flakey extremists, sometimes known as the "truthers", the kind that also blame the U.S. government for the destruction of the World Trade Center towers. The kind of stories that no rational person would believe. But in light of all of the above, these stories now take on a more credible meaning. So put aside your disbelief in the "truthers" and give some thought to stories like: Massive Concentration Camps are already operational within the U.S. Now remember, if you are not on the side of Barack Hussein Obama then you must be against him. That makes you and me an enemy of his version of America.
Also, please read Terresa Monroe-Hamilton's insightful article in The Noisy Room, Silent Running – The Targeting of Americans. The author is NOT one of those flakey extremists that you can comfortably ignore.

Two updates to the BAE thermal imaging sniper scopes being sold to Pakistan story.

The first update below is a more detailed story than what I wrote about yesterday, comes from Wired.com concerning a lawsuit that former Marine Sgt. and Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer filed against his previous employer, BAE Systems. After Sgt. Meyer complained about BAE Systems, selling, with approval from Obama's Defense Dept., state-of-the-art thermal imaging sniper scopes to the government of Pakistan while our troops were being issued outdated equipment, his former employer blacklisted his employment record. The second story is from CNSNews.com detailing the increased number of U.S. troops killed along the Afghan-Pakistan border during the three years Barack Hussein Obama has been in the White House. This makes for a very interesting coincidence or maybe it isn't.
Hero Marine Sues Defense Giant After Sniper Scope Fight 
By Spencer Ackerman, November 29, 2011

Marine Sgt. Dakota Meyer is perhaps this country’s best-recognized war hero, a man who risked his life over and over again to save his buddies from a Taliban ambush. That’s why he’s the only living Marine to be awarded the Medal of Honor — the nation’s highest award for valor — for his actions in Afghanistan or Iraq. It’s undoubtedly one reason why the defense giant BAE Systems hired Meyer after he left the Corps.

Then, BAE considered selling high-tech sniper rifle scopes to the Pakistani military. Meyer objected, given Islamabad’s um, unambiguous relationship with the terrorists and militants based in Pakistan. Then he quit. Suddenly, Meyer’s former bosses at BAE started calling the war hero “mentally unstable” and a drunk.

That’s according to a lawsuit Meyer filed against BAE, which alleges that the defense behemoth blocked the retired Marine from getting a job with a competitor by slandering his character.

Things started to unravel earlier this year, BAE sought to sell advanced thermal optic scopes to the Pakistanis for their sniper rifles. That’s 100 percent legal, thanks to the U.S. government’s decade-long decision to sell the Pakistanis billions of dollars’ worth of military gear, in the hope of cementing Islamabad’s commitment to fighting terrorism. But BAE employee Meyer questioned whether the sale was responsible.

“We are taking the best gear, the best technology on the market to date and giving it to guys known to stab us in the back,” Meyer wrote to his supervisor, according to the Wall Street Journal‘s Julian Barnes, who obtained Meyer’s lawsuit.

1,089 Americans--71% of All U.S. Combat Deaths in Afghanistan--Have Been Killed Along Pakistan Border 
December 1, 2011

(CNSNews.com) – Over more than ten years of fighting in Afghanistan, 71 percent of U.S. military combat deaths in that country have taken place in provinces bordering Pakistan.

CNSNews.com’s detailed database of U.S. casulaties in the Afghan war indicates that as of Nov. 30, a total of 1,527 U.S. troops have died while engaged in combat in Afghanistan--1,089 of them in 10 Afghan provinces that border Pakistan. The other 438 U.S. combat deaths happened elsewhere in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan has a total of 34 provinces.

Including non-combat deaths, the total U.S. casualty count in Afghanistan’s border provinces was 1,168 as of Nov. 30. (That number may be larger, since the locations of 68 fatalities were not reported by the U.S. government, which is the primary source for CNSNews.com’s casualty count.)

Since President Obama took office on January 20, 2009, there have been at least 1,172 U.S. military deaths in Afghanistan. That means that about 67 percent of the total of 1,741 U.S. casualties in the ten-year-long Afghan war have occurred on Obama’s watch.

U.S. military deaths in Afghanistan have more than tripled under the current administration, climbing to the current total of 1,741 from a total of 569 when President George W. Bush left office on Jan. 20, 2009.
