WorldNetDaily: Border agent says China ordered his prosecution

The border control officers have less power than mall cops, with much more important jobs! How can they work if they get arrested for making arrests?

WorldNetDaily: Border agent says China ordered his prosecution: "A Border Patrol agent who was acquitted of a charge of using excessive force during a 2004 arrest of a Chinese national on suspicion of drug smuggling is suing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for $25 million.

And in a companion lawsuit, Robert Rhodes is seeking another $25 million from three Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with the Office of Professional Responsibility.

He says the agents disregarded their oaths by pursuing a politically motivated prosecution against him to appease their superiors, who allegedly were seeking to do what communist China wanted.

'I was involved in a political prosecution that our government began at the demand of the government of communist China,' Rhodes told WND. 'The prosecution was promised to China by then-Secretary of State Colin Powell and then-Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Tom Ridge.'"

WorldNetDaily: Court: Defendant's satanist robe OK for murder trial

More rights to satanists because of the extra rights for muslims. This is getting ridiculas!

WorldNetDaily: Court: Defendant's satanist robe OK for murder trial: "Florida trial Judge Peter Adrien has ruled that a satanist on trial for allegedly killing and dismembering another man, then eating portions of the body, may wear his full religious regalia when he defends himself in court.

The prosecutor in the case, Assistant State Attorney Herbert E. Walker III, told WND the motion was brought by Lazaro Galindo, who is on trial for the 2000 death of Argelio Gonzalez.

Walker said he did not object to the request, because Galindo cited recent decisions that have allowed Islam into U.S. courtrooms for Muslim faithful, and he didn't want to set up a circumstance that could result in grounds for an appeal if Galindo is convicted."

A new critique of the 2004 Lancet Iraq death toll study

This is too much too write a short blog about. The paper is too much for little me who only got a 'c' in statistics class! But I like the conclusions it draws and will slog through it to get a better understanding later. Thanks Michelle for finding this!

Michelle Malkin » Document drop: A new critique of the 2004 Lancet Iraq death toll study: "Remember that massively-publicized 2004 Lancet Iraq death toll study? It was cited in nearly 100 scholarly journals and reported by news outlets around the world. “100,000 Civilian Deaths Estimated in Iraq” blared the Washington Post in a typical headline.

There were attempts made by lay journalists to debunk the 2004 study (as well as the 2006 follow-up study that purported to back up the first). But none of those dissections comes close to a damning new statistical analysis of the 2004 study authored by David Kane, Institute Fellow at the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard University. I read of Kane’s new paper at this science blog and e-mailed him for permission to reprint his analysis in its entirety here so that a wider blog readership could have a look. He has given me his permission and adds that he welcomes comments and feedback. He’ll be presenting the paper at the Joint Statistical Meetings in Salt Lake City on Monday — the largest conference of statisticians in North America.

Much of the math here is mind-numbingly complicated, but Kane’s bottom line is simple: the Lancet authors “cannot reject the null hypothesis that mortality in Iraq is unchanged.” Translation: according to Kane, "

"Young Muslims die for their belief.”

The Muslims are confident of their upcoming global domination. They can even brag about it now! What can be done to stop them?

America: PostGlobal on washingtonpost.com: "After the Babri Masjid was destroyed in 1993, many SIMI members -- who’d outgrown the organization's 30-year-old age cap -- and others broke off to form the National Development Front to fight against what Koya calls a “nexus of interests coming together: Hindutva extremists, America, Israel, the Indian elite and all of their neo-liberal policies.” He says that these forces were bent on undercutting the Islamic way of life.

NDF found support in northern Kerala and now has 30,000 active members and over 100,000 more supporters, according to Koya. It is chasing the more moderate Muslim League in the north of Kerala to become the dominant Muslim political force in the state.

“You praise Bin Laden, but would you encourage your youth to kill Americans?” I ask Koya.

“I wouldn’t encourage it. How can you encourage it?” he begins, and then changes course, “But dying is not a bad thing either. It depends on how you view things. Americans eulogize their soldiers after they kill children in Iraq. Young African Americans die for their country. Young Muslims die for their belief.”

“Should America worry about Kerala?” I ask.

“There will be no terrorism here. India is a democracy so we can protest and vote when we disagree. We don’t need to kill. But India is coming after Muslims slowly and if we lose our rights, our right to think even, we will be left with no other choice. Islam is not hypocritical in that way. Violence can be justified. But India is a democracy so we have other means for now, don’t worry.” He raises his eyebrows again, smiles and asks, “Are you worried?”"

Schoolboy guilty of terrorism offences - Telegraph

If enough of these kids kill themselves, maybe the war will end quicker. I doubt it though.

Schoolboy guilty of terrorism offences - Telegraph: "A schoolboy who ran away from home to become a Muslim martyr and three students who recruited him are facing jail after a jury found them guilty of terrorism offences.

Mohammed Irfan Raja was supposed to be on his way to school in Essex when he ran away to join a group of radicalised students in Bradford.

Mohammed Irfan Raja, convicted of having materials for terrorism, schoolboy guilty of terrorism offences
Mohammed Irfan Raja, 18, is facing jail after being convicted of having materials for terrorism

Raja, from Ilford, who was then 17, caught a bus to West Yorkshire as part of a plan to travel to Pakistan for terrorist training.

He left his parents a note which said: 'If not in this (world) we will meet in the Garden of Paradise, Inshallah [God willing].

'The situation is such that you will live another 30 years, maybe 40 years. When death will befall you, maybe then you will appreciate what I have done now.' A 'PS' added that he was going abroad."

Activist's remarks about Islam, sex probed - Nation/Politics - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper

Activist's remarks about Islam, sex probed - Nation/Politics - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper: "Organizers of a conservative online forum in Canada say their free-speech rights are under attack after they received a letter saying a complaint has been filed with the Canadian Human Rights Commission.

The complaint, filed by a private citizen and accepted for further investigation by the commission, protested a critical posting on the forum's Web site regarding Islam and homosexuality.

The remarks were posted on FreeDominion.ca, a sister site to the conservative U.S. forum FreeRepublic, by FreeDominion member Bill Whatcott, a former homosexual prostitute turned outspoken Christian activist.

“I can't figure out why the homosexuals I ran into are on the side of the Muslims,” Mr. Whatcott wrote on the Web site. “After all, Muslims who practice Sharia law tend to advocate beheading homosexuals.”"

Jihad Watch: UK: Muslim beats man to death as "Allah was telling him how to bring about world peace"

How can the kuffar Brits stop a Muslim holy man for carrying out the will of Allah? This was for World Peace!

Jihad Watch: UK: Muslim beats man to death as "Allah was telling him how to bring about world peace": "Unfortunately he is not the first to get the idea that peace will come through the killing of the kuffar. From CourtNewsUK (thanks to a tea-loving snail):

BENOMOR:CRAZED IMMIGRANT BEAT MAN TO DEATH WITH HIS BARE HANDS HARLINGTON, MIDDSX. A Tunisian immigrant beat a man to death with his bare hands and feet believing Allah was telling him how to bring about world peace, a court heard. Bearded Laidi Benomor, 30, attacked six people as he went on the rampage in the Harlington High Street near the Holiday Inn at Heathrow."

Former Guantanamo detainee blows himself up - Telegraph

Released because he was innocent? We should put the Peace Activists in Gitmo to discuss how non-violent they all are.

Former Guantanamo detainee blows himself up - Telegraph: "A former Guantanamo Bay prisoner who took up arms alongside the Taliban after he was released from detention has blown himself up to avoid capture, Pakistani security forces said today.

Abdullah Mehsud killed himself with a hand grenade after he was cornered by troops at a house in the south-western Pakistani town of Zhob. He was wanted for the kidnapping of two Chinese engineers in 2004.

'My information is that (he) killed himself,' said Atta Mohammed, the head of the police in Zhob. 'Thanks be to God that only he was blown up and our men were safe.'

Mehsud, 32, was released from the US detention centre in Cuba after two years in 2004 but immediately went back to violence when the Pakistani government began an offensive against the Taliban in the troubled region along the border with Afghanistan."

NBC Weapons: Albania First To Be Chemical Free

Finally! The first country to disarm has! Now we just have to stop new weapons from being mixed up in the labs. How much longer until the rest of the weapons are destroyed? I hope it is soon!

NBC Weapons: Albania First To Be Chemical Free: "Albania became the first nation to destroy its entire chemical weapons inventory, under the terms of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). This treaty has most nations possessing chemical weapons (including Russia, China and the United States) agreeing to destroy their stockpiles, and for the wealthier ones to help the poorer ones in that endeavor. Thus Greece, Italy, Switzerland and the United States all helped Albania destroy about 16 tons of mustard, lewisite, mustard/lewisite mixture, adamsite, and chloroacetophenone chemical weapons.



For nearly half a century, Albania was run by one of the most oppressive and paranoid communist dictatorships in the world. We're talking a North Korea class government here, that collapsed in 1991, along with the more liberal communist police states of Eastern Europe. Albania has always been one of the poorest nations in Europe, and thus was able to build a relatively small arsenal of chemical weapons."

Counter-Terrorism: Why Warriors Make Lousy Terrorists

Interesting look into why Afghanistan and Iraq are so different. I also like to see more about the problems of Al Qaeda! A good read.

Counter-Terrorism: Why Warriors Make Lousy Terrorists: "Al Qaeda has been on a downward spiral since September 11, 2001, and there's no general agreement on why this is. No attacks in North America, and the many thwarted plots there, revealed a lack of professionalism quite at odds which attacks in the 1990s, and up to September 11, 2001. The terrorist violence in Iraq, often attributed to al Qaeda, is largely the work of Saddams rather efficient security organizations. Those lads were not much good at fighting the U.S. armed forces, but they have, over three decades, become quite good at killing Iraqis, and terrorism in general.



The attacks in London and Madrid were local Moslems, and got a lot more ink than the much more numerous failed attacks in the same area. Then there's Afghanistan, where suicide bombings skyrocketed last year. But there was something odd about the suicide bombing attacks in Afghanistan; 43 percent of them only killed the bomber. This year, suicide bombing attacks, at about two a week, are up about twenty percent over last year. But the percentage of attacks in which only the bomber dies has remained the same."

DEBKAfile - DEBKAfile reports: Problem of Jews and Christians expelled from Arab lands must be dealt with in any Middle East peace process – US Congre

About time that this is being looked at! These poor families escaped from the Muslims and have been ignored. Why are the Palestinians considered refugees while the Jews are not? Is this just more antisemitism from the UN?

DEBKAfile - DEBKAfile reports: Problem of Jews and Christians expelled from Arab lands must be dealt with in any Middle East peace process – US Congressional caucus states: "Of the million-strong, 2,500-year old Jewish communities of the Middle East, only 8,000 remain in 10 Arab countries, said former Justice Minister and Attorney General of Canada Dr. Irwin Cotler in his briefing to the bipartisan Congressional Human Rights Caucus in Washington co-headed by Frank R. Wolf (R.-VA) and Tom Lantos (D-CA), Thursday, July 19. Yet against the 101 UN resolutions passed on the Palestinian refugees since 1947, not one addressed the forcible expulsion of Jews from Arab countries by state-orchestrated oppression, persecutions and pogroms.

This raises serious questions about the appropriateness of the United Nations having a role in the Middle East Quartet meeting in Lisbon Thursday, said Cotler, counsel to former prisoners of conscience Andrei Sakharov and Nelson Mandela. he whole question of refugees and refugee claims is at the forefront of the Peace Process, and integral to the Roadmap. Rights for Jewish refugees from Arab countries, 600,000 of whom were absorbed in Israel, have to be part of any peace process with a claim to integrity.

The Caucus, after hearing four speakers on behalf of the Justice for Jews from Arab Countries organization, decided to promote two Middle East refugee resolutions already"

Jihad Watch: Italy: Group used mosque as jihad training camp

Will it ever end? I am so tired of these stories! I am even more tired of how the Media and Government ignore these incidents. If a Christian church was doing this stupid crud, the Media would be all over it!

Jihad Watch: Italy: Group used mosque as jihad training camp: "ROME - Italian police arrested three Moroccans — an imam and two of his aids — they accuse of being part of a militant cell that allegedly used a mosque in a central Italian city as a terror training camp.

The group held courses on hand-to-hand combat and used propaganda films and documents downloaded from the Internet to teach how to prepare poisons and explosives, pilot a Boeing 747 and send encrypted messages, anti-terrorism police in Rome said in a statement. A fourth Moroccan was still being sought, the statement said."

Hizballah moving rockets into towns

The original AP article has vanished. I wonder why?

Hezballah just keeps getting stronger and stronger while the UN keeps the Israelis from spying too closely. It is past time to depopulate anyplace the Jihadi/Palestinian Death Religion. Way past time. Also time to end the UN and their corruption.

Jihad Watch: IDF: Hizballah moving rockets south: "Hizbullah guerrillas have moved most of their rockets in south Lebanon among civilians in villages in an apparent attempt to avoid detection by Israel and UN troops, IDF officials said Sunday.

The new moves are part of Hizbullah's reorganization after the Second Lebanon War, the officials said. During the summer's war, Hizbullah fired almost 4,000 rockets at Israel.

While Lebanon criticized the IDF for targeting civilian areas during the war, Israel said Hizbullah was to blame for operating among civilians and putting them at risk.

Last summer, many of Hizbullah's rocket batteries were located in unpopulated rural areas, where the guerrillas dug networks of tunnels and fortifications, the officials said. But the army's new intelligence indicates that those positions had now largely been abandoned in favor of populated villages, which provide better cover for the group's activities. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity."

Serious Security Questions at Sky Harbor Airport - ABC15.com: Phoenix, Arizona News, Weather, Radar, Breaking News, Traffic and Web Cams

This whole airport needs to be washed out. It sounds like a monkey with a lobotomy could do a better job.

Serious Security Questions at Sky Harbor Airport - ABC15.com: Phoenix, Arizona News, Weather, Radar, Breaking News, Traffic and Web Cams: "The ABC15 Investigation is getting national attention. ABC15's Lisa Fletcher will be on Good Morning America Monday at 7 a.m.

It's what you have to do when you fly - use X-ray machines, metal detectors, and deal with liquid restrictions in your carry-on luggage. You know the drill.

Security checkpoints are just part of travel these days. They're supposed to keep us safe, so we use them - but not all of us and not all the time.

We've discovered a 4.5 hour time frame each night when virtually anything can be brought into the secure side of Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. There's no metal detector, no X-ray machine, and it's apparently not a problem."

Report: Iran to pay $1b for Syria to procure weapons - Haaretz - Israel News

Why is this kind of stuff allowed to happen? Everyone knows that the Iranians are behind almost every terrorist action in the last few years. It is also well known that Assad is just a puppet for the Iranians. Now that the Iranians and Syrians are blatantly violating the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaties, When will the UN get its head out of its butt and enforce the laws? If they are too impotent to react to this kind of hostile threat to world peace, then maybe they are too worthless to exist. Just like the countries who threaten others like this.

Report: Iran to pay $1b for Syria to procure weapons - Haaretz - Israel News: "Iran will lay out $1 billion to procure for Syria advanced weapons and assist it in nuclear research and the development of chemical weapons, according to a report published yesterday in the London-based daily Al-Shark al-Awsat.

The reports says the strategic cooperation agreement between Damascus and Tehran was signed during the visit late last week by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Syria. The report describes the cooperation between the countries as including military, economic, scientific and technical aspects.

The military cooperation includes Iranian funding for the procurement from Russia of MiG-31 fighter planes, Sukhoi-24 attack aircraft, helicopters and T-72 tanks. Iran will also provide Syria with technical assistance in nuclear research and the development of chemical weapons."
