Hey, here’s a great idea: Let’s do a game show where the viewer’s choice winner gets a free abortion and more.


H/T to Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit.  James my friend, you’ve unleashed the wrath of a monster…… Let’s go git ‘em and git ‘em but good.

————————

The show is called “Bump” and it’s the latest craze to hit the nation via BumpTheShow.com and of course, YouTube.  Ratings (’site hits’, I guess) and viewer commentary are………… What ?……. Something wrong ?

You have a problem with this ?

I can’t see what could be of concern to anyone……. After all, the new show was inspired by the current POTUS and his speech at The University Of Notre Dame.

Yeah.

Really.

That’s the origination…… Our beloved Dictator In Training Pants gave the spark to the producers.  That’s cited in the article linked here………

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/29/AR2010012903836.html

Beginning Feb. 1, episodes will appear each week on Mondays and Thursdays, both on the Web site (BumptheShow.com) and on YouTube, and spectators are invited to comment. A pilot, which appeared on the eve of the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, already had drawn 147 comments by Friday, ranging from criticism of the acting and the doctor’s make-up to heartfelt accounts of personal experiences with abortion.

Comments are being carefully monitored to ensure civility, Iocco told me in a telephone interview. The fear is that the conversation could devolve into the usual rants. He worries that once foot soldiers on each side of the debate get wind of “Bump,” they’ll mobilize their troops and try to firebomb the theater, as it were. A few of the most vitriolic posts already have been removed.

——————

You’re damn right all commentary is being screened……… eliminating any and all opposition to the show, it’s topic and of course, the complete desensitizing of people towards killing innocent life before birth.

The next step, of course, will be ‘contestants’ who are actually pregnant and…….you can guess the rest.

What have we come to as a people ? Does NOTHING matter anymore ?

Even actors in a completely setup environment of total political pandering and promoting death are acceptable today ?

Every single person involved in this should be taken to task in as public a manner as possible……. and God won’t even help ‘em if these pieces of trash try and do this “game show” for real.

Pagans Get A New Worship Circle….. Guess Where….. C’mon, Guess.


Hint 1: The money to pay for it came from the defense budget…….. as in our tax dollars.

Not a clue, eh ?

Hint 2: Think Colorado (No, Not South Park !)

Figure it out yet ?

No ?

Witches, Druids and pagans rejoice! The Air Force Academy in Colorado is about to recognize its first Wiccan prayer circle, a Stonehenge on the Rockies that will serve as an outdoor place of worship for the academy’s neo-pagans.

Wiccan cadets and officers on the Colorado Springs base have been convening for over a decade, but the school will officially dedicate a newly built circle of stones on about March 10, putting the outdoor sanctuary on an equal footing with the Protestant, Catholic, Jewish and Buddhist chapels on the base.

“When I first arrived here, Earth-centered cadets didn’t have anywhere to call home,” said Sgt. Robert Longcrier, the lay leader of the neo-pagan groups on base.

==================

It’s your turn to snark.

I can’t.

I’m way too busy tracking down a few chickens for my next Kosher Santeria ceremony that’s gonna take place out on the tarmac at Ft. Lauderdale Airport at midnight during the first hurricane of the upcoming season.

Whaddya mean is it gonna be the same ?……… Of course it’s still gonna be done in Latin, signed for the deaf, translated into Olde English and inscribed in Sanskrit.  No ‘change’ here……. at least I ‘hope’ not.

TOTUS and GLOTUS vs. POTUS - One man’s take on America’s most embarrassing moment to date.


TOTUS - TelePrompTer Of The United States.

GLOTUS - General Lecturer Offering Total Unionized Servitude.

POTUS - People Of The United States.

————-

Last evening, I was on a personal protection detail for a well-known local Conservative radio personality here in South Florida.  She does a political talk show and let’s just say she’s hacked off ‘los lefties’ and C.A.I.R. more than several gazillion times….. per week.

My kinda girl in many more ways than one.   :)

On the way back from the speaking engagement/candidate debate, we listened to about half of the Jihadist-In-Chief’s b.s.-laden pandering, denigrating, un-American dictatorial ‘I, Me, My’ message to the world.

‘Liar’, ‘Tragic performance’, ‘Who does he think he’s fooling?’…….Those were instantateous and honest responses used by us a few times.  Those were also some of the only words we uttered that would be usable in a broadcast setting.

I couldn’t/wouldn’t listen to the rest of it for a few reasons, including the inability to deal with the ‘I, Me, My’ declarations of his self-appreciation and superiority over us mere mortals.  Also, I really didn’t want to get to the point of a reaction-discharge of a firearm into the radio……. especially because I was driving and it was her vehicle.  If she did it herself after I left, well, it’s on her.   ;)

The honest-to-God last straw for me though, was the shot taken at the sane members of The Supreme Court for their decision on McCain-Feingold.  Our Dictator In Training Pants basically - and some would say officially- let the world know that he and his administration don’t care a tinker’s cuss about The Constitution, Rights and the laws of our land…….. and will do whatever they damn well please in order to “fundamentally transform The United States”.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are in DEEP trouble as a nation and as a people……. and the current administration is purposefully accelerating the unfolding disaster.

—————

By the way, just for giggles……..One of the things she set up on-air over the past few days was a 2-part contest for how many standing ovations he’d get during the speech and the combined total of how many times he’d use “I”, “Me” and “My”.The top listener guess on standing ovations was 40 and the I, me and my top end listener guess was 75 for the entire speech.

Results:  Standing ovations…. Based on Nancy “Botox-In-A-Box” Pelosi jumping up and not including entrance and exit:  46.  The ‘I me and my’ count was at least 40 just 20 to 25 minutes in.

Looks like nobody won…….. especially America.

Saddam Hussein’s notorious henchman “Chemical Ali” was executed on Monday, an Iraqi government spokesman said, a sentence carried out around a week after he received a fourth death sentence.

—————-

So, what are you gonna have for lunch today ?

I was thinking about a Caesar Salad with grilled shrimp, or maybe go to one of the coal-fired pizza places and treat myself (they’re pretty expensive, but worth it every so often).

For dinner, I’m considering…… oh wait, the Broward Republican Executive Committee meeting is tonight…… Gonna have to grab something on the go.

Afghanistan Elections……. What Elections ?


http://news.theage.com.au/breaking-news-world/afghanistan-postpones-parliamentary-elections-20100124-msgl.html

A funding shortage and unrest in war-torn Afghanistan have forced authorities to postpone parliamentary polls due in May for four months, an election commission official said Sunday.

The ballot was originally planned for May 22, as required by the Afghan constitution, but will be postponed until September 18, Fazil Ahmad Manawi, a senior commissioner told reporters in Kabul.

The Independent Election Commission made the decision because of “lack of budget, security and uncertainty and logistical challenges,” the official said.

====================

“Funding shortage” - The American government will be suckered into…….. er……… threatened……… um……… asked…….. yeah, that’s it……  The American government will be asked to provide all the money, plus much more.

“Unrest” - George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and YOU will be blamed.

“As required by the Afghan Constitution” - The one in America doesn’t matter, so why should the one in Afghanistan ?

“The Independent Election Commission” - I like that…… Really…… I haven’t laughed that hard in days.

“Logistical challenges” - Not enough guns in-country yet to put at everyone’s heads for the vote to be a completely legitimate win for The Taliban.

——————–

………..while the current administration here, their owners and The Left watch and drool over the prospect of ‘postponing’ the elections here.

America, Google And China, Oh My !


http://news.theage.com.au/breaking-news-world/us-seeks-china-explanation-over-google-20100121-mn11.html

The State Department is taking cyber attacks on Google and other US firms very seriously and is seeking an explanation from Beijing but it is not the “foreign policy arm of Google,” a US official said.

Alec Ross, the senior adviser for innovation to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, also said that a speech Clinton is due to give on Thursday on internet freedom would not focus solely on China.

snip

“This is primarily an issue between Google and 30-plus other private entities and the Chinese government,” he said at the start of a panel discussion sponsored by the New America Foundation and Slate magazine.

================

Let’s see if this makes sense………………

The current administration’s ‘Technology Czar’ is the CEO of the world’s largest and most privacy-violating search engine.  Apparently China has a problem with that search engine’s policies and practices, so they’re initiating online ‘investigations’ of the search engine.

The current administration’s ‘Technology Czar’ who (to repeat) is the CEO of the world’s largest and most privacy-violating search engine which happens to be being cyber-attacked by China.

The current administration’s ‘Technology Czar’ who (to reiterate one more time) is the CEO of the world’s largest and most privacy-violating search engine which happens to be getting it’s head handed to it by The Communist Chinese Government (to which I thought this search engine’s entire staff and management compliment agreed with in policy) runs home to The Bad Golfer In Chief and asks him to do something.

That leads to ’someone’ at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue having an epiphany……. ‘Whoever’ decided this thinks it would be an absolutely fantastic idea if the current administration would dictate policy to a to a nation that The United States owes about 1,500 gazillion dollars in debt and that the nation holding the debt is VERY close to the inevitable “margin called” moment.

I can honestly see this getting VERY ugly VERY quickly……… and Her Royal Rodhamness is involved as ‘point’.

…..and all that without any mention of ‘Net Neutrality’ which happens to be the exact opposite of whatever Marxist-Totalitarian grab-’em-stomp-’em insanity the current administration considers ‘internet freedom’.

Mistrust of the system is quickly gaining momentum.


Nervousness over the failure of transforming the manual voting procedures has mounted following the disclosure last week that the Commission on Elections (Comelec) is behind in its timetable in installing the new system by election day.

The media last week reverberated with warnings from the private sector of the dire consequences from the failure of the conversion of the system into one driven by computerized machines or from the malfunctioning of the new counting machines, either through tampering or mechanical defects.

The feared consequences include, first, public unrest fomented by high expectations that the replacement of the manual system would do away with widespread fraud and, second, such an unrest could give reasons to President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to declare a failure of elections, allowing her to hold on to office beyond the expiration of her term in June.

================

Her term…… ending in June…… Huh ?   Wait a second…… Who’s President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo ?

Barack Hussein Obama is The President…… and except for a few specials (like two days from now in Mass. and one right after that here in South Flori-duh), the elections aren’t until November.……. What the hell is going on ?

Oh, wait……….. The Philippines………..  Now I understand.

http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20100118-247952/Public-shows-mistrust-of-automated-elections

You know The Philippines……. Their government just outlawed anyone owning firearms.  I wonder why that happened ?

http://www.thenational.ae/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100110/FOREIGN/701099966/1015

Never mind.

Something like this could never occur here in America.

No way the current administration would even remotely consider canceling the November elections here for any reason — or try and grab everyone’s guns using Interpol, The UN and some sort of a civilian defense force at its’ side — or Federalize each states’ National Guard — or completely revamp the parameters for classified documents —- or nationalize a health care system that’s already mandated to have a national medical records database in place within the next few years no matter what happens with the current health care reform legislation.

The current administration will undoubtedly ensure the November elections are completely above-board, that each race is contested in an honorable manner, plus all electronic voting machines are fully secure, along with all vote counts being certified as completely accurate by multiple independent agencies and of course, that the entire operation will be transparent to the public from minute one.

—————

Keep telling yourself that.

Go ahead.

Keep telling yourself that.

As for me, well……… My gut instinct senses something that I don’t want to wrap my head around actually taking place.  Besides, I have a hard time actually seeing it happen without a…… um…… problem…… (Yeah, that’s a good word for it.)…… I can’t see it happening without a problem occurring here in The USA.

We’ll see what takes place Tuesday in MassiveTwoSchmittes.

Haiti - From a person who knows first-hand: Mr. Bernard Sansaricq (Cand. FL-23).


Disclaimer first:  I am nowhere near impartial in any of my descriptive commentary on this posting, as I work for Mr. Sansaricq’s campaign - audio technician for appearances that require equipment (that I provide at no cost to the campaign as a donation) .  I stand with The Good Sir Mr. S., for, among other things, he is taking on a real live ‘no-goodnik’ currently seated in Florida’s Congressional District 23 in The US House Of Representatives, who’s name shall not be mentioned here.

——————-

This is going to be a VERY long diary and I don’t apologize for it.

The text below in blue is from Bernard Sansariq, candidate for The US House Of Representatives (FL-23) and former President Of The Senate Of Haiti.

Some of us have been trying since just a few hours after the news broke earlier in the week to get Fox News to even acknowledge Mr. Sansaricq’s existence.  For some reason unknown to anyone, the network doesn’t seem to care or understand that a person who is from Haiti, with decades of actual experience, vast internal political knowledge and who’s family was assassinated by the powers in charge would matter in getting out facts and ways to truly help.

I am now asking that people outside our area please assist us….. Write, call or somehow contact producers, managers and even the ‘talent’ at Fox News in New York and inform them of Mr. Sansaricq’s existence.  Please be nice to them, as the network is basically all that remains on American television for even half-way accurate reporting of facts on most news occurring in our nation and world wide.

Mr. S. has been through some things in the political and life arenas that I can make a sure bet none of us would be able to deal with and remain sane (at best).

As I type this, Mr. S. is preparing to leave for his homeland tomorrow (Sunday 17 January) with a cargo flight filled to just short of maximum takeoff weight with supplies and people to help.  We are all praying that they are allowed to land and then more importantly, can get out of the airport with the cargo.  They are going to Haiti in order to assist those who now have less than nothing other than their own heartbeats and a deep-seated faith that help is indeed on the way.

While we’re sitting here contemplating our navels and trying to find some sort of political angle to all this ; While what amounts to hundreds of aircraft with supplies and people willing to go and awaiting their 2-hour ‘wheels up’ notification ; While current and former politicians all over just talk about what they’re going to do and not going to do ; there are thousands of criminals from the now empty and/or collapsed prisons in and around Port Au Prince who are roaming the affected area and already miles beyond.

Fake officials (the prisoners and other pieces of human debris) are going into neighborhoods and telling people that supplies are coming and to go to an area several blocks away, if not further……. The people leave, looking for any kind of relief, not believing that their own countrymen would deceive them in such a dire time…….. So of course, the criminals take what little remains of the people’s things left behind and these bastards even destroy what they can’t take with them.  God help the people there if these wastes of carbon somehow get hold of firearms and ammo.

The already billions-of-cracks in the eggshell of what little order remains in Haiti are multiplying exponentially.  The airport (for now) is one of the only safe refuges, along with the larger churches that haven’t collapsed.

I implore you to NOT donate to any organization that is beholden to the unbelievable corruption and destructive nature of The Haitian Government.  Private charities, preferably faith-based organizations who already are ensconsed within Haiti trying to help in whatever ways they can.   Many churches based here in South Florida have properties in Haiti that are used as church-run orphanages, clinics, schools, etc.  They can help NOW and deserve our attention.  Many retailers here in America have setup sections of their shops to accept material (and monetary) donations.  It is incumbent upon everyone donating and the business themselves to assure these donations will get to those in need and not simply “be shipped there” and die on the vine of a corrupt group.

Anyway, I’ve ranted on long enough.  What you’re about to read is from Mr. Bernard Sansaricq, along with a link to the website of an organization he mentions called Shalom International (I’m a member of that organization as well).

Except for inserting a notation regarding what he was talking about in the first paragraph and activating the link to his campaign’s website, I did not alter one thing on Mr. Sansaricq’s letter, not even spelling.

If you read just the first 5 lines of this email by Shalom International (Ed. note:  a link to Shalom International’s mailing is at the end of this letter), you will all see what I mean by CORRUPTION IN THE GOVERNMENT OF Haiti.

While the American people is generously giving help for this tragedy that happened in Haiti, the Mistress (recently wife) of the President of Haiti bought a home for 1 million dollars in Coral Gables Florida ?????? Wake Up America ! Where is your money Going…. Visit my web page: http://www.sansaricq4congress.org (news page) and catch a glimpse of what’s going on.

Write to your “good” Congressman-Inform your Senators- Bill Clinton is a FAKE- If if could not do anything while he was President of the US for Haiti with 23,000 pairs of boots in the ground…Clinton is only giving LIP SERVICE to the American people.

A lobbyist lawyer in Miami for Aristide (also friend of Bill Clinton) received 10.5 millions dollars from the poorest country in the Western hemisphere… Where did the money come from? Who was paid by this lobbyist? (this was documented by the US Justice Department, as the lobbyist had to register as a foreign agent for a foreign government)

Who was paid with this money?  Where did Aristide get this money?

According to the US Justice Department some 55 Millions were paid to different lobbyists in the US by Bill Clinton’s friend J.B. Aristide.

Millions were stached in Off Shores Banks in the Turks & Caicos Islands under the fictitious name of “MOUNT SALEM” as reported by Wall Street Journal Reporter Ms. Maria Anastazia O’Grady - Several High Profile Democrats were involved.

Get Bernard Sansaricq in the radio and TV (FOX News)  to inform what’s really going on.

…and there is so much more….

As President Truman said; “I won’t give them Hell- I will just tell the Truth.

Thank you Shalom International.

Bernard Sansaricq.

NC State Senator R.C. Soles shoots intruder trying to break into his house…… Uh oh…… Problem.


I think you’ll find this somewhat enlightening.

Here’s what the headline should have been:

Anti-2nd Amendment Democrat North Carolina State Senator owns a gun and uses it, quite possibly in violation of his state’s Castle Doctrine and he’s probably gonna get away with it, because he’s an anti-2nd Amendment Democrat North Carolina State Senator who owns a gun and used it, quite possibly in violation of his state’s Castle Doctrine.

Three articles I’ve seen so far:

http://www.wwaytv3.com/node/19818

Did some research into this way-too-long-in-office politician.  He doesn’t believe YOU should have the right to defend yourself.  But as for him……… Well, he’s just so special that he ends up standing beside himself with much admiration.

=============

Best of the commentary from all the articles:

Legislation that diminishes yours and my rights does not apply to the political elite.  Their lives and property are much more valuable than ours.  That is why they exempt themselves from restrictive laws that make the rest of us less safe while taking ever more of the fruits of our labor to enrich themselves.  But they deserve everything they get because they are so much smarter and more important than schmucks like you and me.

Couldn’t have said it much better myself, but I’ll try:  Tipping point approaching quicker ‘n spit.

Palestinian Authority Chief Says Israel Is Trying To Kill Him.


http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/135542

Fatah head Mahmoud Abbas, current chairman of the Palestinian Authority, claims that Israel is trying to assassinate him. Abbas told an Egyptian news agency this week that Israel had murdered his predecessor,Yasser Arafat – despite Arafat’s commitment to peace – and that he is afraid of suffering the same fate. The PA chairman, who enjoys massive political and economic backing from Western powers, further stated that he is not prepared to resume negotiations with Israel until all Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria is halted, claiming the current 10-month ban by the government of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Jewish building in the area is not sufficient for a return to negotiations.

Abbas’s remarks came against the backdrop of intense American efforts to quickly resume negotiations between Israel and the PA. United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called this week on the local parties to resume talks without any pre-conditions. Speaking to reporters in Washington this week, Clinton reiterated that the United States would seek “an outcome which ends the conflict and reconciles…the Palestinian goal of an independent and viable state based on the 1967 lines.”

========================

========================

First things first…… Mrs. Clinton:  I think the operative term should be for you to ‘Sod Off’.  However, to a person of your elevated position on the world stage, I’d suggest the following:  Don’t push it or you’ll have a war you won’t believe….. and can’t win.

——————-

Now then, on to the main matter at hand.

Ms. Moneypenny, take a letter and send it out immediately………..

Memorandum

To:  Mr. Mahmoud Abbas - Chairman, Palestinian Authority
From:  Captain Obvious - In the black helicopter over your house.
Subject:  It’s not paranoia if there really is someone out to get you.

Chairman Abbas:

If Teh Eeeeevil Jooooooooooos were trying to send you off to meet your 72 virgin goats, you would have been long gone….. Decades ago. Instead, ‘my people’ over there (and 78% of those here in The USA) have this crazy idea that they can talk to and reason with anyone, even the devil himself.

However, if I were you, I’d keep ‘checking my six’….. Know what I mean ?  Just because the Israelis aren’t coming to get you, doesn’t mean your own people won’t because they think you’re not forcing jihad to move forward fast enough.

Have a nice day……. What was that noise behind you ?!?

Euro-Med…… This ain’t yer Momma’s partnership. It’s more like a mini-ICR2P.


Here’s a quiz:

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, sounds like a duck and even poops like a duck, is it still a duck when it takes off it’s full-body mask and sticks a machine gun in your mouth, but instead of pulling the trigger, it puts you in chains ?

My friends, if you don’t believe Veronica Estrada about The International Coalition For The Responsibility To Protect…….

The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, also known as EuroMed, has been pretty much under the radar for 15 years. When it caused some public discussion in 2007, it was renamed ”Union for the Mediterranean”, and quietly permitted to proceed. Not much was heard of it, but now EuropeNews has the scoop: It is being established now – and we have a window of merely 14 days to protest it.

The news is tucked away in this discreet ANSAmed news item:

Veronica, Vassar…… Help.  I’m going to offer what little I can help to Mr. Clausen and Pam Geller, then start digging as well.

Between this and what I think is an obvious tie-in to ICR2P, my gut tells me we’re actually arriving into “people are gonna get disappeared” territory……. Yes, I’m serious.

At least seven policemen were wounded on Saturday when a Taliban militant commander blew himself up in the Pakistani city of Peshawar, police said.

Irfan Ullah, from the lawless town of Darra Adam Khel, struck when police raided his hideout in Matni, an area in the outskirts of Peshawar, in country’s northwest, senior police official Mohammad Karim Khan said.

“Irfan Ullah blew himself up when police stormed into a hideout to arrest him,” Khan told AFP.

Thirty people have been injured by corrosive liquid hurled in one of Hong Kong’s favourite tourist spots, the sixth such attack reported in just over a year.

Among the injured were several foreign tourists, according to broadcaster RTHK.

Police received reports at around 9.30pm on Saturday that a bottle of corrosive liquid had been thrown in the Temple Street night market in Yau Ma Tei district, a lively shopping area that hosts hawkers, fortune-tellers and nightclubs, a spokesman said.

The armed wing of the Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda said it had repeatedly warned the footballing authorities before last Friday’s attack that the territory was at war, and it would now strike again.

“This operation is only the start of a series of targeted actions that will continue in all the territory of Cabinda,” said Rodrigues Mingas, secretary-general of the movement, which has fought for control of the northern enclave and its oil and diamond reserves for more than 40 years.

>>>>>Philippines bans possession of all firearms.<<<<<

http://www.thenational.ae/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100110/FOREIGN/701099966/1015

The Philippine government imposes a total ban on carrying firearms throughout the country today in the run-up to the general elections on May 10. As well, police and military units are moving throughout the nation to dismantle private armies in an attempt to keep political violence down.

Police and the military have identified between 90 and 132 private armies and have designated more than 500 towns and municipalities as “hot spots” prone to election violence.

At midnight on Saturday, police had set up 90 checkpoints throughout the 16 cities and one municipality that make up Metro Manila.

Over the weekend the PNP sent a 75-man commando team to the central province of Masbate to “neutralise” at least three private armies.

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~

In a related story, some breaking news that actually only one political movement in The Philippines has officially been targeted by the firearm ban and the government’s sanctioned “neutralize” on sight policy.  The movement’s name:  “Conservative Republican Constitutionalists”.

Obama and Holder are drooling uncontrollably at the thought of trying this here.  Bank on it.

Israel’s neck is solidly clamped in the chopping block. First use of the axe is officially being fought over by The UN and The USA.


I give it a month, maybe two…… tops.

Israel should tell the UN to go screw itself….. hard and often.

However, instead of Israel actually standing up for itself, we have the following:

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article6981539.ece

The United Nations is to accept more than $10 million (£6.2 million) from Israel as compensation for damage caused during the war in Gaza — a deal branded a cheap buyout by its own staff in the territory.

UN officials said the agreement would be announced in the coming days.  It is the first time Israel is known to have paid the organisation compensation for damage to its facilities in Palestinian territories, but Israeli officials emphasised that it would not set a precedent.

—————

Not set a precedent……… Yeah.

They’re right actually…….. It’s not a precedent.

It’s Jizya.

===============

Barack Hussein Obama, through Secretary Of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Special Middle East Envoy George Mitchell, threatens to cut off all aid to Israel if the Jewish State doesn’t allow it’s own destruction and a declaration of open season on Jews world-wide.

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3831661,00.html

On eve of visit to region, American special envoy threatens Israel with sanctions if it fails to advance peace talks, two-state solution. Secretary of State Clinton says working to restart negotiations ‘without preconditions’.

—————

Quite honestly, I’m surprised it took this long.  When Harold Koh and Samantha Power were put in place at The Department Of State, I thought this would be agenda item numero uno for their first day or two on the job.

I’d offer up some additional commentary about this lovely little bit of news, but I’d be banned from RedState, more than likely arrested on numerous charges and taken to one of the non-existent FEMA Camps….. or maybe I’d get lucky and just ‘be disappeared’.

Suffice it to say, I’m a tad miffed…… at best.

And now for part 26,327,852 in the ongoing saga of, “It’s for the children”.


Open up your thought process even a little bit and you’ll get the idea of what’s what.

What’s “what” you ask ?

You’ll see.

Hint: Incrementalism.

“Protector” from Taser International, Inc.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/TASER-to-Introduce-PROTECTOR-pz-4023109941.html

http://www.stockhouse.com/News/USReleasesDetail.aspx?n=7584223

“Protector” is a revolutionary toolset that gives parents the ability to supervise their children’s mobile phone usage and driving behaviors. Parents can manage the contact lists and content of their child’s mobile phone - including calls, texts, emails, photos and video, and can automatically limit phone functionality to prevent dangerous distractions while driving. PROTECTOR uses integrated GPS, allowing parents to track their child’s location, monitor driving habits, and release vital records to the authorities in emergency situations.

===============

Protect the children my arse !  This is Big Brother’s chicken coming home to roost.  I give it at best a year, maybe 18 months tops and this is a ‘regulatory nudge’, mandated in every cell phone and vehicle.

C’mon now Kenny……. Stop it…… You gotta calm down.  There’s no other use for that technology.   None whatsoever.

Yeah, you’re right……… Why would any government anywhere in the world (especially the current US administration) be interested in this kind of GPS-to-cell-based, point-to-multiple-point, fully interactive command and control monitoring that can be force-downloaded and activated without the ‘trackee’s’ knowledge and consent ?

See, I knew you’d understand……… Now then……… On my command……. Repeat after me…. “It’s for the children”.   Everybody, repeat after me - that’s an order - “It’s for the children…… and only for the children.”

—————–

Let me explain this technology in one sentence:  “Protector” is OnStar, The FBI, The CIA, plus other federal agencies, your state, county and local governing authorities along with your spouse/girlfriend/mom and yeah, even maybe marketing/advertising entities combined in your pocket and they’re all taking steroids.

This is part of the personal chip implant technology at work, but in a bigger enclosure……. Yes, a version of this software is part of what’s in the nano-circuit subcutaneous devices, tracking, stimulus, response, etc.

My business partner Janie (’janiel’ here at RS) put it pretty succinctly: Mr. Asimov wrote “I Robot”.  Replace the robots with computers and think………….

Blame Canada ?……. No……. Blame Air Canada.


Alternate Diary Title:  Court Ordered Regulations Mandate Air Canada Segregate Democrats, AGW Believers and Coexist/One-Worlders From The Normal Traveling Public….. Oh……. Wait…….

Ahhhhhh….. I got it now…… It’s a Culinary Nut-Free Zone on all Air Canada flights.

Really.

http://news.theage.com.au/breaking-news-world/court-orders-air-canada-nutfree-zone-20100109-lz7u.html

Canada’s transportation regulator has ordered Air Canada to accommodate passengers with severe nut allergies by seating them in new nut-free zones on aircraft.

“The agency has determined that a buffer zone, including an announcement within that zone, is the appropriate accommodation for persons with disabilities due to their allergy to peanuts or nuts,” the Canadian Transportation Agency said in its ruling.

The agency had received two complaints from passengers with nut allergies since 2006.

============

Look, I know for a fact that allergies to nuts and anything else for that matter can be (literally) a deadly thing and nothing to snark, but…….. I can’t help myself.  This was way too easy and here you see only the first three sentences of the article.

OK, so now, it’s my turn.   ;-)

Bonjour Air Great White North:

Regarding your “Nut-Free Zones” on all flights, wouldn’t it be somewhat reasonable to even possibly consider that a person allergic to nuts would have a modicum of a grasp on basic communication skills and also possess the ability to somehow convey “no thanks” to the cabin crew offering those micro-sized packages of pomegranate-latte-infused, carbon-neutral, free-range-raised, not-grown-in-the-evil-USA peanuts ?

A buffer zone, eh ?  When I’m in an airplane, I want a buffer zone from that 7-year-old kicking the back of my seat for a seven-hour transatlantic flight.  I’ll gladly take six degrees of separation from the 450 pound behemoth with ‘that smell’ in the window seat one row in front…… and while we’re at it, I honestly don’t need anyone trying to explain the most intimate details of how to use a seat belt.

I feel like Casey Kasem….. “Two ?….  TWO ?!?!?!?…. Good golly Miss Molly !”…………….. Next up for it’s own ‘zone’ will be anyone and anywhere dictated by teh gubmint, because it’s open season on sanity and reparations are underway for all those who claim any politically correct “victim” status.

I guess this is the jobs created or saved part of The Jihadist In Chief’s and his owners’ plans to destroy America and Israel.


Let’s continue on from where the last few administrations left off. But hey….. Now we’re on steroids and havin’ tons of fun……….. Thousands of tons of fun fun fun till his Blackberry daddy takes his Executive Order pen away.

The first 2010 version of arms sales of high-tech flying and sailing toys, along with big and fast things to go with ‘em that go boom.  Negotiations apparently began in October.

From Israel National News:

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/135404

Under Egypt’s Eid tree, they’ll find 24 F-16’s plus 156 extra engines for ‘em (……. Gee !…… No…… G.E.), four missile boats, four batteries of Harpoon II’s and 450 Hellfire missiles.  That’s along with approximately 1.5 BILLION annually in direct cash aid.

snip

Until June 2009, the United States repeatedly denied Egyptian requests to purchase arms because of Egypt’s record on human rights and democracy, according to website F-16.net. That policy has changed under President Obama.

(My note:  There’s that damn word again……’change’.)

snip

Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Morocco and the United Arab Emirates also have new military acquisition contracts with the United States. The Pentagon has released the details to Congress.

Some of the purchases will include 2,742 anti-tank missiles for Saudia Arabia, 1,808 anti-tank missiles and 162 launchers with night vision systems for Jordan, 1,600 laser-guided “smart bombs and 800 one-ton and 400 bunker buster bombs for the UAE, and 24 additional F-16s for Morocco, the first owned by that country’s air force,” according to UPI.

=================

‘Scuse me……. Hey….. Somebody……. Anybody……… Lemme ‘axe’ you a question……. Who’s gonna instruct all those folks in the proper use of their shiny new toys ?

Plus, something tells me all those nations mentioned above have one thing in common…….. Can’t figure out what it is though…… Feh…… Must be some sort of fidigamendt of my eemajibinashun that there could be any sort of commonality.   It’s all isolated deals.

Thank you 78% of US Jews and all those voting for “change”.
You wanted it, you got it….. and I hope you choke on it.
Don’t any of you come near me when the SHTF.

Then again……. WWJMD ? (What would John McCain do ?)

I’ve just got one simple request…….. I’m not anywhere near tired, or needing a break, but since I’m trying to concentrate on what’s going on and help bring some of it to light, I’d really appreciate somebody letting me know when the shooting starts so I can make it back home to protect my property.  Thanks.

Well now, one might infer that by my grammatterous structurenatin’ that I might be a tad miffed at this current administration and several previous.  One would be correct.  Spot-on, as the case may be.

Jim Greer to resign as Republican Party Of Florida Chairman.


Former lobbyist, former State House member and current State Senator John Thrasher to replace Jim Greer.

http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics/AP/story/1410154.html

Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer will announce his resignation Tuesday amid criticism the party has been wasting money and not raising as much as it should.

Greer will step down Feb. 20, more than three years after Gov. Charlie Crist hand-picked him to run the state GOP. In recent weeks, major party donors and other leaders have called for his resignation, citing questionable party spending, lackluster fundraising and division among party loyalists.

==================

1.   Heh.

2.  Senator Thrasher:  Don’t you dare……….. Dare what?…………… Don’t you dare play the game, because it’s not a game.

3.   Heh.

It’s no fun being an illegal alien…… Unless you have a cell phone with text messaging service.


Guess where…..

Did you say Maricopa County Arizona ?

Ding, ding, ding….. You get a cookie.

http://news.theage.com.au/breaking-news-technology/advocate-uses-texting-to-warn-of-az-crime-sweeps-20100105-lqb1.html

An advocate for immigrant and civil rights has started using text messages to warn residents about crime sweeps by a high-profile Arizona sheriff.

Lydia Guzman, director of the nonprofit immigrant advocacy group Respect/Respeto, is the trunk of a sophisticated texting tree designed to alert thousands of people within minutes to the details of the sweeps, which critics contend are an excuse to round up illegal immigrants.

————

I’m only going to offer three short comments and let you have at it.

1.  This is tip of the iceberg type material for ‘invasion alerts’.  Wait until the amnesty legislation kicks off again…….. Unless Cass Sunstein decides to “nudge’ existing regulations a bit, bypassing an already pretty much irrelevant Congress.

2.  Mexicans are not the only ones to illegally come into our country at the Southern Border.  Think ‘global’.   I’d have said to think ‘global war on terror’, but we’ve been told that’s over and done with.

3.  Naaahhhhh……  I’d better not run up #3.   I’d be called some pretty horrid stuff.  It’s only Monday morning.   I usually wait until at least Tuesday afternoons to ramp up a bit.

Incrementalism - How to destroy a nation and enslave her people without really trying.


I need to thank Mr. Vassar Bushmills for sparking my down-shift to ‘punch it’ for a bump-draft.

His amazing words yesterday did it along with a small afterburner boost of something I saw……

On New Year’s Eve, approximately 8 hours after I sent a mail (down below the double-dotted lines) to the patriots group where I’m a member, the following news story was published by AP - buried, completely buried - but it was published.  Matt Drudge had it linked late yesterday (2 January).

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20100101/D9CUKTGO0.html

The Transportation Security Administration on Thursday dropped its subpoenas it had issued to two Internet writers in its effort to find the leaker of an airline security directive.

snip

Frischling said the agents threatened to interfere with his contract to write a blog for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines if he didn’t cooperate and provide the name of the person who leaked the memo.

————

That article’s first simple sentence brought many things together for me. That’s the key - I thought, ‘How simple is that, just brush it off, hide the wave-off in plain sight and all is forgiven and forgotten, especially by the media.’  then my mind, being a terrible thing not wasted, went to work.

So then…….. Tin-Foil Hat at my side, new-gen radar operating for spotting the black helicopter squadrons, dungeons and dragons on ‘pause’, ensured my name is at the top of the stack on DHS Napolitano’s desk (with a CC to AG Holder)….. Here we go:

Don’t you believe for one second this is over….. not by any stretch of anyone’s imagination.

It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if the administration purposely sent the ‘leak’ to these guys as a setup to see if anybody notices and what the reactions would be….. Yes, I’m serious.  Why did two completely benign travel bloggers get the memo ?  If “someone” wanted it out there and exposed, why not ‘leak’ it to some of the known places like here at RS, Ms. Malkin, Mr. Hoft, etc., who can actually get a real response ?

I know the answer…… Incrementalism.  Build it slow, no notice right away may mean no notice at all because of the ‘it’s only one or two people and they’re not political’ and/or ‘they’re part of the VRWC nutroots and made it up themselves’ - They take the chance.  That’s not naivete on the part of the current administration….. That’s playing the odds.

The administration is only just beginning it’s laser-targeting of anyone who doesn’t fall in lock-step with them, from the big names, down to travel writers and ordinary citizens commenting on blog sites and sending e-mails to their ‘tea party’ groups.

Between the last two exec orders (Interpol and the new classified documents thing), The 1st, 4th and 5th Amendments are being frozen in place and becoming inaccessible.

Please try and remember this:  It’s not a ‘big bang’ they’re doing.  It’s a line or two in a 1,500 page bill there, a paragraph in some legislation here, a tweaking amendment to an already existing Exec. Order thataway and a “nudge” from Sunstein’s regulatory office over the next hill.

Every CongressCritter hasn’t the slightest idea this is happening - some of us keep trying to tell them, but all they care about is their own power and ‘earmarks’.  They have nothing to do with writing any of the legislation being introduced other than putting their names on it - Staffers and embedded special interest group people are writing it all with their agenda of Totalitarian rule masked in seemingly innocuous and simple sentences, paragraphs, plus the added exec orders and regulations throughout every single aspect of Los Federales’ operation.

All of a sudden, one day those seemingly innocuous and simple sentences, paragraphs, exec orders and regulations will connect and everything will be gone…. That’s the day we lose our freedom, liberty, Rights and nation to the ‘big bang’ and a literal invading force.

Until then, these people need to be fought as hard as possible and as legally as possible….. This is a war - an actual coup…. make no mistake about it…… and unless you’re one of the nutroots, the last thing any of us want is it to become a shooting war.

But YOU MUST be prepared for that possibility, for every day that passes, more and more seemingly innocuous simple sentences, paragraphs exec orders and regulations are being put into place.

and………

You can make a solid bet that this current administration has people in place from the top down to agency field agents and their undrafted civilian army (cyber and otherwise) who are completely ignoring The Constitution and YOUR RIGHTS, taking a nicely hidden interest in e-mails being sent, blog sites being posted on, where ‘certain people’ live, where they’re going and what they’re doing, where they work, what they drive, etc.

Paranoid ?

Maybe.

Reason to be ?

We all have the reason to be now.

Look at what’s happening right in front of you.

That’s why I’m not anonymous on the ‘net…… This American says ‘I don’t hide, Molon Labe’.

As the government reviews how an alleged terrorist was able to bring a bomb onto a U.S.-bound plane and try to blow it up on Christmas Day, the Transportation Security Administration is going after bloggers who wrote about a directive to increase security after the incident.

TSA special agents served subpoenas to travel bloggers Steve Frischling and Chris Elliott, demanding that they reveal who leaked the security directive to them. The government says the directive was not supposed to be disclosed to the public.

Anybody findin’ 8,400 aerial mortar shells just layin’ ’round, let me know, ok ?


Commence smell test, version alpha…….

http://news.theage.com.au/breaking-news-national/hundreds-of-fireworks-stolen-in-qld-20100102-lm6y.html

Police say 70 cartons of fireworks were stolen from a secure facility belonging to a pyrotechnic company between 1pm (AEST) on New Year’s Eve and 3.30pm on New Year’s Day.

Each carton contained 120 “aerial mortars” that could cause serious or fatal injuries if used by anyone other than a pyrotechnic expert, said police.

The aerial mortars are the size and shape of a cricket ball, wrapped in brown paper with a wick sticking out of the top.

End smell test, version alpha…….

—————

All clear - Nothing wrong at all.

What was taken are jokingly called ‘poppers’ in the pyro show business. A band I work for has had pyro as part of the lightshow for decades, so I know a little bit about it.

A standard ‘go boom’ (like their “cricket ball” described above) is equivalent to anywhere between 1/2 to 1-1/2 sticks of Dyneemight in composition (using black powder, C4, PETN, etc.), depending on show requirements (distance from viewing, height of ‘go boom’, proximity to structures, local regulations, etc.).  I’ve no idea of the composition of the units in question.

…..could cause serious or fatal injuries…..

There’s no visual ‘for show’ in these lil darlins.  They just ‘go boom’.  The concussive pressure is quite the impressive type, even from a distance and if you haven’t realized it yet, (depending on their composition) ‘poppers’ can easily be and usually are classified as high explosives.

They also have some shock propellant in them, as does any mortar-type round, fireworks or military………. How else do you think them honeys get airborne to ‘go boom’ ?

70 cartons x 120 units each = 8,400 ‘go booms’.

Hmmmmmm.

Nah….. I’m sure it was just a simple error and all the toys are in another shed on the fireworks company’s property, logged into a different section of the company’s inventory control system.

Nobody anywhere I can think of has any kind of use for 8,400 pieces of self-propelled high explosives.

Sleep well.
