Canada To Have Coldest Winter in 15 Yrs

So, what global warming? Come on!

Oh, of course, there's a convenient explanation: La Nina.

Sure. Blame it on someone named La Nina. Better hope she doesn't sue for defamation!

Wonder if the rest of the world will have a warmer winter, or if La Nina will be blamed for global cooling? What if the earth gets cooler in the next few years, every year? Then what will Chicken Little blame that on?

Every time it's cooler and every time we fail to see any "climate change" (momentary weather phenomena don't constitute "climate change", though that doesn't stop Chicken Little from blaming every hurricane, tornado, flood, etc. on "anthropogenic global warming"!) , it's inconvenient for Chicken Little, so he tries to explain it away with conveniently-fabricated excuses.

And doesn't it annoy you when Leftist windbags use the word "anthropogenic" instead of "manmade" or "man-caused"? What, do they think that using bigger words makes them sound like they know what they're talking about?

Whatever. In my estimation, however, those who preach the theory of anthropogeneity re (perceived due to suspect data) global warming and climate change are themselves anencephalic.

Germany Still Sheltering Nazis

Story here. h/t: NationalNewswatch.com. Do read the whole thing.

Germany continues to shelter a former SS officer who is wanted for murder and for his alleged role in the deportation of hundreds of Jews to Nazi concentration camps.

The Daily Telegraph has tracked down former SS-Obersturmfuehrer Søren Kam to the peaceful suburbs of Kempten im Allgäu, a town about 75 miles from Munich.

Dr Efraim Zuroff, a veteran Israeli Nazi-hunter, will be in Europe next week to mount “Operation Last Chance”, to bring men such as Kam to justice and to expose the role of complacent German judicial authorities in continuing to provide alleged war criminals with safe havens.

“Kam is on my list because in my estimation he is one of the top 10 Nazis that could feasibly be brought to trial” for war crimes, said Dr Zuroff, who is director of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre in Jerusalem.

Makes one wonder about the current German state apparatus. Why would it refuse to prosecute a Nazi war criminal? How many other Nazi war criminals are being sheltered by present-day Germany, assuming the very likely case that Kam isn't the last one?

Islamic Sexism In the Raw

Some folks out there are in serious need of some court-mandated "sensitivity training"!

We can't ever tolerate sexism, especially violence against women!

Why does the Left tolerate such an attitude towards women? Is it because the bigots wear special headgear or clothing? Why is it? Why does the Left tolerate discrimination and inequality? Why does the Left want to deem these people (Muslims) first-class and reduce everyone else (meaning non-Muslims) to second-class ("dhimmi")?

I guess that the Left's claim to care about equality between the genders is therefore not to be taken seriously, then, unless they take to task fundamentalist Islam and fundamentalist Muslims for their radically hurtful sexist attitudes and practices!

Those sharing the sentiments of the men above need to be politely but firmly and unapologetically informed that if they wish to live in the Free World, they cannot impose their ideology onto others! Sexism is a hate crime and so is violence against women, after all!

Surely the Left can agree with that!

We need not ever apologize for believing in equality and human rights!

No tolerance for intolerance... no apology for being free and equal!

Briton Faces Whipping For Naming Teddy Bear Mohammed

Oh, isn't Islam just cute and cuddly?

Islam? Not for me, thanks.

70 Voted While Masked

Story here. h/t: NationalNewswatch.com

Elections Canada has informed the government there were 70 instances in the September federal byelections in Quebec of voters showing up at the polls wearing face masks, Government House leader Peter Van Loan disclosed yesterday.

So now we know how many voted while masked. Such a number is potentially enough to provide for enough cheating to put one candidate falsely over the top in a very tight race.

Too bad the Chief Electoral Officer says we can't always make people take off their masks to vote.

Also, is there really any way of preventing a single masked person from buying, stealing, forging or borrowing other peoples' identities and showing them while masked so as to be able to vote in their place?

Imagine some dude going around with multiple identities in his pockets, voting repeatedly while covered head to toe in a burka. Who's going to demand he show his face? No one, for fear of being accused of something like racism or intolerance or Islamophobia, notwithstanding the need to protect the integrity of the democratic process!

Heck, that 70 people could've been one guy in various disguises using 70 different sets of identification. Yes, it's possible... logistically difficult, but possible. Much more possible if it was a team of, say, ten people all voting for the same party seven times each... Just think about it and you'll see how it's possible to cheat.

So, to be certain that the democratic process isn't going to be potentially abused, we must legislate that all voters be facially identified in order to vote. Duh!

The Myth of "Palestine"

According to Palestinian revisionism, the Palestinians lived from time immemorial in historic Palestine, a veritable paradise of flourishing orchards and fertile vineyards, teeming with happy peasants. Then, the evil Zionists came and, with the support of the British, stole the Palestinians’ land, exiled their people, and initiated a reign of
terror and ethnic cleansing that has not abated until this very day.

Goebbels died 60 years ago, but his core propaganda strategy lives on in the Great Arab Lie that there exists a Palestinian people who have suffered great injustices at the hands of Israel, the UK, and the USA. Arab leaders know that if they just keep repeating the same lie often enough, eventually people will believe it -- and the greater the lie, the more readily will people believe it.

Since the Six-Day War, the Arab world’s most powerful leaders -- in Egypt, Libya, Arabia, Syria, and Iraq prior to Saddam’s demise -- have waged a war of words against Israel. Having failed to defeat Israel by means of naked military aggression, these leaders and their advisors decided, sometime between the end of the war and the Khartoum Conference of August-September 1967, to bring about the destruction of Israel by means of a relentless terror war.

To justify to the world their ruthless mass murder of Israeli civilians and their undying hatred of the West, these leaders needed to invent a bizarre and apposite reality. Slowly but surely, the reality of the “little David” Israel assailed by the “giant Goliath” of the entire Arab world has been reversed. Now the “Goliath” Israel is depicted as the racist, apartheid, war-mongering, oppressive, illegal occupier Jewish State, regional superpower, hell-bent on the destruction, indeed, the genocide of the poor, defenseless Palestinian people -- the Middle East’s new “David.” This grotesque fiction could be foisted upon the world only if there were indeed a “little David” for Goliath Israel to oppress; only if Israel’s combatant in the conflict were not the entire Arab world, but rather some poor, enfeebled people who could mount no real defense against the Jewish superpower, but nonetheless had a stronger claim to the land of Israel than Israel itself.

Thus the PLO, under the tutelage of the KGB, invented “The Palestinian People.”

Read it all. Yes, it's a bit long, but it's footnoted, and you can print out the "printable article" version if you prefer to read it later. And it's worth it, particularly if you are unsure whether you know the truth and, having a genuinely open mind, wish to learn more. Don't let yourself be brainwashed by the propaganda of the Islamofascistic terrorists and the KGB which is actually being perpetuated by the mainstream media and likely even your teachers, friends and family members who've fallen victim to this propaganda.

Massive Protests in Israel Against Annapolis Meeting

Story here. Emphasis mine

JERUSALEM – Israelis across the country today protested Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's attendance at tomorrow's U.S.-sponsored Annapolis summit, blasting the Israeli leader for his expressed willingness to evacuate strategic territory, including possibly swaths of Jerusalem.

Nationalist groups handed out flyers against Annapolis at the entrances to Jerusalem and other major Israeli cities and even blocked streets in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv in protest of tomorrow's summit.

An estimated 25,000 people took part in a mass prayer service at the Western Wall today against Olmert's positions at Annapolis; afterwards large crowds converged for a protest outside the prime minister's Jerusalem residence. Another estimated 10,000 Israelis rallied today in the center of Jerusalem, with many holding placards denouncing land giveaways.

"Ehud Olmert, like Abu Mazen (Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas) and George Bush, is a lame duck and all they can offer are expectations which will ultimately blow up in our faces," said Danny Dayan, chairman of the Yesha council of Jewish settlements.

(...)

"The people of Israel did not give you a mandate to give away its property and what belongs to it historically ... you have no mandate, sir,"

Liberal Leader Dion In Childish Outburst

Liberal Party "leader" Stephane Dion: Desperate for attention

Story here. h/t: SmallDeadAnimals Emphasis mine.

It seemed like an innocuous remark. During question period on Wednesday, Environment Minister John Baird gave a little shout-out to an aboriginal delegation in the spectators' gallery, who had been on hand earlier in the day at the announcement of a big conservation project in Canada's North.


But that's a big no-no. Only the Commons Speaker can recognize visitors in the gallery, and MPs who have done the same in the past have been banned from speaking in question period for 30 days. Baird got off with a warning, though.

Even more extraordinary, however, was how that remark provoked Stéphane Dion. The Liberal leader started wildly waving to the aboriginal delegation, pointing to his own chest with both hands and arguing that Baird was trying to take credit for
something he himself had done when he was environment minister. "It was me," he shouted upward to the aboriginal leaders, who looked a bit perplexed by all the gesturing. Then Dion started barking at Baird, saying all the work on the conservation project had been done before Conservatives came to office and "you only had to sign your name." Observers on both sides of the House averted their eyes at the outburst.

Is this a prime minister?

Recent Hanging In Iran: Disturbing Video

Nuclear Materials Thefts At Record High in Canada

Story here.

News of the jump in thefts and lost material coincides
with an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) meeting in Europe at which
nuclear counter-terrorism specialists were told this week of an almost four-fold
increase in nuclear smuggling since 2006, a further indication that
al-Qaeda-inspired radicals may be trying to obtain radioactive material for a
bomb.

Highly-enriched uranium and plutonium, the essential
ingredients for a nuclear bomb, remain obvious concerns. But officials are also
worried about nuclear material in millions of radioactive sources, typically in
measuring and analytical equipment used in medicine, industry, agriculture and
research, that could be extracted and spewed into the air using conventional
high explosives. The primary intent would be to panic a population rather than
inflict mass causalities.

As of Wednesday, 26 radioactive sources have been reported
lost and stolen so far this year in Canada, compared to 15 last year and a dozen
in 2005, according to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC), the federal
nuclear regulator.

Fourteen devices this year remain missing, twice as many
as last year when six were not recovered and almost three times the five still
missing from 2005.

I'm now perceiving a pattern. And, no, that isn't just from this report. It's cumulative over time and international.

I've blogged about Osama bin Laden's "American Hiroshima" plot involving a dirty bomb. With reports of accelerating thefts of radioactive materials year over year, one must necessarily wonder what, if anything, the state apparatus is doing to get serious about preventing such thefts. One must also wonder (not only due to rising radioactive materials thefts, but also due to many other reports indicating appallingly, shockingly lax national security practices) whether, despite this being the post-9/11 era, our governments are really all that concerned about the very real and present danger of terrorist or other attacks in North America. Surely, if it can happen everywhere else in the world, one must deduct that it must also happen here, as, of course, the same enemies have declared North America to be in their crosshairs.

We don't actually see or even hear of there being a lot of government activity to prevent terrorism and other forms of enemy attack; quite the contrary, in fact. Perhaps this is by design: maybe the government prefers to keep it secretive and low-profile so as to not make the population worry needlessly. On the other hand, it's also possible that the Left and the MSM (with obvious encouragement from our enemies) have exerted sufficient pressure against our governments to deter them from being more aggressive about protecting our safety and security from enemy attack. Unfortunately, we really don't know what is the case and I fear we'll end up finding out the hard way, that far too many executive decision-makers haven't yet learned the lessons of history...

China Denies Mass Murder, With Help From CBC

David Matas writes this article for the National Post.

It's damning for both the Chinese Communists and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Turkey denies the Armenian genocide. Sudan pretends the
ongoing genocide in Darfur is not happening. The Soviet Union maintained that
there was no forced famine in Ukraine. Neo-Nazis claim the Holocaust never
happened. The pattern is predictable. Genocide Watch has identified eight stages
of genocide. The last is denial.

The massive crimes that China has inflicted on the Falun
Gong spiritual group follow this pattern. David Kilgour and I have written a
report titled Bloody Harvest in which we showed that China has been killing the
Falun Gong by the tens of thousands since 2000 for their organs. The organs are
sold for huge sums, mostly to foreign tourists, for transplants. Beijing denies
it all.

Bloody Harvest has been supported by two independent
researchers -- Kirk Allison at the University of Minnesota and U.K. transplant
surgeon Tom Treasure. All the evidence on which we relied is independently
verifiable and available on our Web site,
organharvestinvestigation.net.

(...)

When the CBC announced that it was broadcasting a TV
documentary about China's persecution of the Falun Gong that featured our
report, it was predictable that the Chinese censorship machine would get into
gear. What was not predictable was that the CBC would pay attention to
it.

What the Chinese Communist Party is doing to people is an inconvenient truth for the Left. The Left doesn't want to accept the truth, so it denies it. It's easier than admitting that they don't want to do anything to stop it, that they'd rather make up myths about Israel and America being bad while ignoring the clear and present dangers of Islamofascism and Communism.

The Left doesn't want to do anything to stop evil, as doing so would require war, and the Left doesn't want good to wage war against evil; rather, the Left would prefer good to appease and submit to evil. Pretending that diplomacy will stop the slaughter of innocents is delusional, we well know; history proves it. It's far easier to fabricate Big Lies about America and Israel than to admit that there is, indeed, evil in the world, and that it's being perpetuated by those with whom the Left apparently identifies.

The Left is atheist as being so enables them to deny the reality of the polar opposites of good and evil. They find it more convenient to practice relativism, to rationalize everything as is most convenient to their agenda and preferences... and comfort. That, of course, is, in and of itself, evil. And that is what the Left has in common with the Chinese Communist Party. If something makes them uncomfortable, they selfishly seek to cause that something to stop making them uncomfortable, and they will do anything to achieve their own comfort, no matter how unethical, immoral, illegal, inhuman... evil.

The Left, like the Communists, fear spiritual people who believe in the reality of the polarity of good and evil. Therefore, the Left, like the Communists, seek to cause these spiritual, righteous people to stop causing them inconvenience by getting them to deny their beliefs, or at least shut up about them and never present evidence that they hold these beliefs. The Chinese Communists arrest, imprison, torture, harvest the organs of and murder the Falun Gong and others whom it deems inconvenient for believing in the polarity of good and evil, as the Communists are evil and fear exposure to the truth thereabout. The Left is a lot like the Communists, therefore the Left wants to let the Communists seek their own selfish comfort, as they can relate.

The same phenomenon is apparent between the Left and the Islamofascists.

The Left bends itself out of shape, flipflopping wildly in order to avoid admitting to any and all truths inconvenient to itself and its own selfish comfort. It seems to me that evil provides comfort to the Left. And this is frightening.

Liberals Plot to Force Election in February

Despite their using "Canadians don't want an election" as an excuse for refusing to vote one way or another on confidence legislation, avoiding an election via letting legislation pass.

Story here. h/t: NationalNewswatch.com

With the budget - usually delivered in late February or
March - likely to become a confidence showdown, the Liberals are planning a
pre-emptive strike, several Liberals familiar with the strategy told The Globe
and Mail.

(...)

"We're going to go before the budget," one Quebec Liberal
said. "The budget will be full of candy for everybody. He's going to have money
for seniors, for youth, for everybody. If you [wait and] go on the budget, then
it means you're opposing tax cuts, money for all those people, and the campaign
will be on that."

Only last month, Mr. Dion was forced to order his troops
to abstain on confidence votes over the Conservatives' Throne Speech and
mini-budget to avoid an election while public support for the Liberals was
falling and their campaign plans were incomplete.

(...)

At least one more confidence vote is likely before
Christmas, on a budget-implementation bill, but the Liberals plan to "suck it up
one more time, and then go early in the new year," one Liberal
said.

Guess the Liberals have no discipline left. Look at how many are talking to the media about their hidden agenda/strategy.

And it tends to make them, particularly "leader" Stephane Dion, look like cynical liars, having said they didn't want to force an election on Canadians, but are now selfishly, cynically plotting to force one very soon after Christmas. Why? Just because Karlheinz Schreiber is helping them by going around perjuring himself in a desperate attempt to escape fraud prosecution via extradition to Germany. If this crook is their savior, so be it. Of course, that in and of itself is worth a thousand words.

Ok. Let them try. Let's roll!

Et Tu, Afghanistan?

This is surprising, considering all Canada has been doing for Afghanistan, all the Canadian blood spilled and lives sacrificed so that Afghans could be free of the tyranny of the Islamofascist Taliban. All the reconstruction we're doing for them. All the rights they've been enjoying because of Canada and other nations.

This is how they repay us?

Afghanistan effectively snubbed Canada in United Nations
votes affecting a Canadian-led censure of Iran's human rights
record.

Canada had been desperate for support in the measure to
avoid international embarrassment, and Iran came within two votes of defeating
it in an initial round.

Afghanistan supported an Iranian bid to have the
Canadian-led censure thrown out, then voted against Canada's actual censure --
both against Canada's hopes.

One interpretation of Afghanistan's move will be that the
government of President Hamid Karzai cares more about its relations with Iran
than with Canada -- despite Canada's massive commitment to Afghan
reconstruction, and the cost in Canadian lives.

Makes one stop and think harder now.

Is Afghanistan with the Free World or is Afghanistan with Iran and supremacist-imperialist Islam?

I would hope that somehow Afghanistan is going to realize the folly of its misplaced loyalties.

This snub matters a lot to Canada.

Kangaroo Court: 5 Yrs Jail for Cdn Christian for Quoting Bible

Frightening story here. See also: SmallDeadAnimals

What is this, Red Communist China? The Islamic Republic of Iran? Saudi Arabia? Zimbabwe?

It's time to abolish the Far-Left kangaroo courts, the Canadian "Human Rights" Tribunal (and the Canadian "Human Rights" Commission as well, and other Far-Left state apparatus nodes created by the corrupt, crooked, Far-Left Liberal Party of Canada to appease Leftists so they'd vote Liberal and not NDP).

When they start to take away our rights and threaten to throw us in prison for exercising them, we know it's time to get rid of these Far-Left fascist organizations. They have no place in the Free World and are little different from the kangaroo courts of the Non-Free World.

They use the words "human rights" in the same way the Chinese Communists use the words "the peoples' republic/liberation army/etc" and North Korea calls itself "democratic". Same as how the Liberals label themselves "Liberal".

On October 27, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal issued a
precedent-setting cease and desist order which forbids Jessica Beaumont from
posting certain Bible verses on the Internet. If this 21-year old woman
posts the wrong Bible quotation online - even if it is on an American website -
she could face up to 5 years in prison.

(...)

Even if you are not a Christian, those words should chill
your blood. But, incredibly quietly, under our very noses, a legal
precedent has been set that can be used to put Canadians in prison for quoting
the Bible.

(...)

The CHRC is used to punish people who have not broken the
law. And every single person who has gone to a CHRC tribunal regarding
Internet content has been found guilty.

This is unconstitutional. It is political correctness fascism. It takes away the right to freedom of expression and freedom of religion. And likely other rights as well. Yes, the Left is taking away peoples' rights.

So what if the free speech might offend some people? Tough. The very people it would offend are always saying things offensive about Christians and they don't get summoned to any kangaroo court for doing so. Nor do the Islamists for saying hateful things about kuffars, including Koranic verses.

Clearly, it is Christians who are targeted for persecution by the Left.

And the complainant, Far-Left radical extremist bigot, Richard Warman, is infamous for his personal jihad campaign to take away the rights of people who dare to say things he doesn't like.

Israel Still Being Attacked by "Palestinians"; Whither the MSM?

Story here.

Re. Sderot, Israel

Since November 1, this part of Israel has been under
constant attack. According to an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman, some 110
Kassam rockets and mortars have been launched from Gaza towards Sderot. More
than 180,000 Israelis -- including the residents of Ashkelon, Sderot, Netivot,
and over 20 kibbutzim and moshavim -- now live under daily bombardment. Egypt
meanwhile has facilitated the flow of hundreds of thousands of weapons and
ammunition into Gaza since Israel’s disengagement from the territory in August
2005. Left to its own devices, Hamas has been able to build a well-trained,
organized army which numbers 13,000 fighters, most of whom have had special
training in Iran. Thousands more Katyusha rockets are ready to be launched
towards Israel in the near future.

Meanwhile, recent video footage shows that Gaza terror
cells launch mortar shells from school yards in UNRWA schools, knowing Israel’s
sensitivity about killing civilians. A senior IDF intelligence officer observes
that “Palestinian terror organizations continue to abuse the civilian population
in Gaza by launching attacks against Israel from their midst…They don't think
twice about firing Kassam rockets near crowded public areas, even though they're
fully aware that they're endangering innocent civilians." Due to the IDF trying
to avoid civilian casualties, a senior Israel Air Force Commander has confirmed
that the IDF has only been able to hit three percent of the rocket launchers. In
addition, the IDF is not even trying to kill or to capture the Gaza leaders who
give the orders to shell and terrorize Israel.

What does all this have to do with the Annapolis
conference? The answer, according to a senior IDF officer, is everything. So
long as Israel is conducting negotiations with the Palestinians, the IDF will
not enter Gaza -- not even to kill terror leaders. This non-response policy
represents a continuation of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s directive to
Israel, exactly one year ago, not to retaliate into Gaza. It also marks a sharp
break with past counter-terrorism policy. In the Spring 2004, for instance, the
IDF targeted and killed Hamas leaders Ahmed Yassin and Abdul Aziz Rantissi.
Today, its hands are tied.

The grim irony that Israel cannot retaliate even when
attacks from Gaza are that their most protracted is not lost on the residents of
Sderot and the Western Negev. They note the further irony that the Annapolis
summit is slated for the 26th and 27th of November, the date of the
American-brokered cease fire between Gaza and Israel. That so-called ceasefire
lasted until May 15, during which time more than 300 Gaza missiles were launched
against Israel.

Sarkozy Stands Up for France

Story here. h/t: Bourque.org

Sarkozy was characteristically defiant as he broke what
had been an unusual silence during a week of transit strikes that have disrupted
travel across the country. He accused the strikers of holding commuters
"hostage" and called for them to return to work.

Turning to critics who hope he can be forced to back away
from deep economic, social and political changes for a country that has proved
difficult to reform, Sarkozy had a simple message: Forget it.

"France needs reforms to meet the challenges imposed on it
by the world," he said in a spirited speech to mayors. "These reforms have been
too long in coming. ... After so much hesitation, so much procrastination, so
many backward steps, we will not surrender and we will not retreat."

I like this guy Nicolas Sarkozy. He stands up to Islamofascists like Tareq Ramadan... and stands up to the Left, and he doesn't back down.

I think France is smartening up.

Already he's showing North American conservative politicians how to deal with the Left!

I predict that Sarkozy will ultimately be spoken of as the Ronald Reagan of France, the Margaret Thatcher of France, the Stephen Harper of France...

Nontraditional "Families" More Likely to be Abusive

This article makes the case.

(...) many scholars and social workers who monitor America's families see the abusive-boyfriend syndrome as part of a broader, deeply worrisome trend. They note an ever-increasing share of America's children grow up in homes without both biological parents, and say the risk of child abuse is markedly higher in the nontraditional family structures.

“This is the dark underbelly of cohabitation,” said Brad Wilcox, a University of Virginia sociologist. “Cohabitation has become quite common, and most people think, 'What's the harm?' The harm is we're increasing a pattern of relationships that's not good for children.''

(...)

-Children living in households with unrelated adults are nearly 50 times as likely to die of inflicted injuries as children living with two biological parents, according to a study of Missouri data published in the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2005.

-Children living in stepfamilies or with single parents are at higher risk of physical or sexual assault than children living with two biological or adoptive parents, according to several studies co-authored by David Finkelhor, director of the University of New Hampshire's Crimes Against Children Research Center.

-Girls whose parents divorce face significantly higher risk of sexual assault, whether they live with their mother or father, according to research by Robin Wilson, a family law professor at Washington and Lee University.

“All the emphasis on family autonomy and privacy shields the families from investigators, so we don't respond until it's too late,”

CBC Still Editing/Censoring Falun Gong Documentary

Story here. h/t: Borque.org

Well, I'm pleased to see a Leftist MSM rag, the Toronto Star, actually criticizing another Leftist MSM outlet, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, for its pussyish obedience of the butcherous Chinese Communist Party's demands that they edit their Falun Gong documentary so as to not inconvenience the Communist Party.

Who does the CBC brass think they are, independent of the People who pay their salaries, and on whose behalf they're supposed to work, but instead working for an evil empire such as that of the Chinese Communist Party, an empire who is harvesting organs from live human beings and waging an accelerated holocaust against the peaceful, tolerant, compassionate, honest Falun Gong people?

I demand the CBC hang up the phone next time any agents of the CCP try to interfere in the affairs of the Canadian Peoples' CBC. The CCP has no business interfering in Canada's internal affairs. We will tell the truth about what we know is happening in China because of the CCP.

If the CBC refuses to serve Canadians, then the CBC must be abolished, unless it can be reformed very thoroughly to eradicate its Far-Left-style ethical/moral corruption and submissiveness to butcherous Communist monsters!

The changes affected about five minutes of the 41-minute film and included:

Removing an interview clip in which a lawyer talks about human rights
abuses and the Olympic Games, drawing an analogy between 1936 Berlin and 2008
Beijing.

(Oh, my... the CBC is now censoring peoples' opinions. In Canada. Because the CCP, a butcherous, infinitely evil totalitarian regime, demanded it. So why doesn't the CBC also censor Leftists who who make nasty accusations against and comments about Free World conservative politicians?)

Editing the most inflammatory section of the film in which China is accused
of harvesting organs from Falun Gong members for transplant.

The list actually goes on! Read about the rest of the changes the CBC, which we pay for via deductions from our paychecks, the GST and other confiscations of our own hard-earned monies, made to appease murderous Communist tyrants...

I note that the article says that the same unit of the CBC that will broadcast this documentary actually broadcast Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 without any changes whatsoever. WTF!!

The Canadian Sentinel therefore snarls and roars at the CBC and demands it tell the CCP to F.O. or face abolition or serious, wrenching, painful reform along with the also-unaccountable-and-much-too-expensive Senate.

No Missing Schreiber Letter: PCO

The Privy Council Office sets the record straight.

Liberals, of course, will prefer to believe Mr. Schreiber the fraud chargee and admitted liar...


I guess the Librano$$$ will continue to throw mud anyway. Of course the Libs want to try to make Prime Minister Stephen Harper look bad by making malicious and wholly unfounded suggestions such as he "must've seen the letter, must've known somehow about it". Such is the nature of Liberal dirty trickery. The truth matters to them not a whit. They want to broaden the terms of reference of the inquiry into that fraud chargee/admitted liar/big donor to the Liberal Party Karlheinz Schreiber's accusations against former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, which, by the way, may, in fact, be debunked by this explanation:

After leaving office in 1993, Mulroney was paid $300,000 by Schreiber "to help on two projects," Lavoie says. One was to try to establish a Montreal manufacturing facility for military vehicles; the other to start a chain of pasta restaurants called Reto.

That's after he was PM, not while. And it has nothing to do with Airbus. We'll see in a few months' time. I'm sure the Liberals have their fingers crossed, hoping that Mr. Mulroney did something naughty so they can link it all to the current PM, who had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with anything about the matter. Well, what do we expect of Liberals? They have nothing to run on electorally, so they're trying to fabricate scandals to try to steal voter support in trying to pin it all on today's government, hoping Canadians have forgotten about ADSCAM and all the other nasty crooked crap the Liberals did while in office themselves. Nasty aren't they, them Librano$$$?

Why on earth would anyone believe anything Karlheinz Schreiber says? The man has zero credibility, nay, make that negative cred!

Isn't it weird how politics and the MSM conspire to make mountains out of bullshit piles? For me, I can't believe we're going to actually have a multimilliondollar inquiry into what some lying fraud fugitive claims in an apparent ploy to stave off extradition to face justice in Germany.

Originally, the Prime Minister wasn't really all that excited as to the idea of a full-blown inquiry re some unbelievable crook's highly suspicious and timely assertions, but, hey, the Opposition, the MSM and even Mr. Mulroney himself all demanded an inquiry. The optics of refusing to have one would only have been used to politically beat up on the PM, so he decided to give them what they asked for, however careless they were in so asking, for they don't know what they'll find in that strange new box of chocolates.

Well, as the saying goes, may we live in interesting times...

Sudanese Man Asks Whither Bishop Tutu Re Slavery

Article here.

Late last month, I went to hear Bishop Desmond Tutu speak
at Boston's Old South Church at a conference on "Israel Apartheid." Tutu is a
well respected man of God. He brought reconciliation between blacks and whites
in South Africa. That he would lead a conference that damns the Jewish state is
very disturbing to me.

The State of Israel is not an apartheid state. I know
because I write this from Jerusalem where I have seen Arab mothers peacefully
strolling with their families -- even though I also drove on Israeli roads
protected by walls and fences from Arab bullets and stones. I know Arabs go to
Israeli schools, and get the best medical care in the world. I know they vote
and have elected representatives to the Israeli Parliament. I see street signs
in Arabic, an official language here. None of this was true for blacks under
Apartheid in Tutu's South Africa.

(...)

Bishop, when you used to dance for Mandela's freedom, we
Africans -- all over Africa -- joined in. Our support was key in your freedom.
But when children in Burundi and Kinshasa, all the way to Liberia and Sierra
Leone, and in particular in Sudan, cried and called for rescue, you heard but
chose to be silent.

Today, black children are enslaved in Sudan, the last
place in the continent of Africa where humans are owned by other humans -- I was
part of the movement to stop slavery in Mauritania, which just now abolished the
practice. But you were not with us, Bishop Tutu.

So where is Desmond Tutu when my people call out for
freedom? Slaughter and genocide and slavery are lashing Africans right now.
Where are you for Sudan, Bishop Tutu? You are busy attacking the Jewish state.
Why?

I wonder if Bishop Tutu is a Leftist. What other explanation could there be for this astonishingly perplexing spectacle of Bishop Tutu ignoring slavery in the Sudan while attacking a peaceful, tolerant, egalitarian Free World nation such as Israel?

Canada Captures Taliban Turf in Fierce Combat

Go Canada!

Reuters — Canadian and Afghan troops pushed into a Taliban
heartland in southern Afghanistan, fought off fierce counter-attacks and
fortified an outpost on Sunday to stay in the area.

An Afghan Defence Ministry spokesman said at least 12
Taliban fighters were killed and another 15 wounded in the fighting for control
of the Sangisar district, where fugitive Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar
once lived and preached at a local mosque.

Canadian troops have fought the Taliban for control of the
area, west of the biggest southern city Kandahar, for more than a year with each
side seizing then losing the same ground several times.

But this time, dozens of tanks and armoured vehicles
followed the troops into the area to fortify two seized civilian compounds and
stay in the Sangisar district.

The operation began on Friday night with around 100
Canadian and some 50 Afghan troops driving a spearhead into the area under cover
of darkness and seizing the compounds. By morning the troops were surrounded by
Taliban and fighting at close quarters.

Inconvenient Truth: 'Global Warming' Data is Invalid

The science is NOT sound! Invalid data collection means invalid science and invalid analysis and conclusions.


Story here.


Because the method of recording temperatures at most surface stations is incorrect, it cannot be considered valid. It cannot be considered as valid backing for the "anthropogenic global warming" theory, nor for dire fearmongering as to catastrophic, deadly "climate change".

If the method of collection of global temperatures is invalid, then all analysis and conclusions relating to all the data is invalid as well.

Sorry, AGW crowd, but now there's concrete scientific evidence that the science supporting the AGW theory is not sound.

The data is worthless. Now we cannot say whether the world is warming at all. To believe it is is to believe in invalid junk science.

Why should I believe in it all? Why should anyone? Just because we're being told we have to believe in it? What is this, a whole new religion? A cult?

WASHINGTON – Dire "global warming" predictions are based on bad science from the very start, says a veteran meteorologist who found surface temperatures recorded throughout the U.S. are done so with almost no regard to scientific standards.

As a result of his shocking initial findings that temperature monitoring stations were constructed and placed without regard to achieving accurate recordings of natural temperatures, Anthony Watts set out to investigate the facilities used by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

What he found were temperature stations with sensors on the roofs of buildings, near air-conditioning exhaust vents, in parking lots near hot automobiles, barbecues, chimneys and on pavement and concrete surfaces – all of which would lead to higher temperature recordings than properly established conditions.

(...)

The vast majority of the stations surveyed to date fail to meet the prescribed standards. Using a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 reflecting proper maintenance and standards and 5 representing facilities that are severely compromised, Watts says 70 percent of those stations surveyed received a 4 or 5 rating, while only 4 percent received a grade of 1.

Sorry, but I just cannot buy into the AGW bunk.

Monkeys Rampaging, Pillaging In India

No kidding. I find this hard to believe, too.

"Monkeys are wreaking havoc in my constituency by taking away mobile phones, toothpastes, sipping coke after opening the refrigerators," Hiren Das told Assam state's assembly.

He said the primates were "even slapping women who try to chase them".

(...)

Last month, the deputy mayor of Delhi died when he fell from his balcony after being attacked by monkeys.

Geez... first we hear about the killer squirrels, now we have monkeys going around stealing stuff from people and even assassinating politicians! I think they've evolved... into Radically Extreme Leftists!

Speaking of monkeys and Leftists, I'll probably get some comments from some of them accusing me of monkeyophobia...

A Day At The Islamic Beach

Iran Viciously Bullying Montreal Filmmaker

Story here.

All she did was make a documentary, with Iran's permission, in Iran.

Then she stumbled upon a mass grave for victims of a state slaughter in 1988.

So they arrested and charged her with "propaganda".

If Canada behaved like Iran is behaving, you can be sure there'd be a massive outcry. (Don't expect the MSM and the Left to care too much, though. They only care about injustice, perceived or real, if it happens in the Free World or if they can somehow blame the Free World either rightly or wrongly. The Non-Free World gets a free get out of jail card from the MSM/Left pretty much every time).

"For the past nine months, I have lived with fear the whole time," Solouki said in the interview. "The pressure includes mental as well as monetary pressure - mental pressure because I am extremely worried about my safety."

Her friends say she was also a victim of a suspicious accident in July when a motorcyclist knocked her down and in a statement released on Saturday, said it was urgent that Solouki be "allowed to receive proper medical care in France."

(...)

Iranian-Canadian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi died in Iranian custody in 2003, three weeks after she was arrested for taking pictures outside Evin prison during a student protest.

This is how Iran treats people. And it only gets worse. But I note that the Left tends to be apologetic on behalf of Iran, saying such insane things as Iran has a "right" to have nuclear technology, even though Iran has promised clearly and repeatedly to destroy other nations. Still I see the Left acting as if it's the Free World and not the likes of Iran, that is bad and a threat to humanity. One must be insane to see a state that promises to destroy other nations as "peaceful" and to dismiss all the evidence of the state's aggressive progress towards developing a nuclear weapon, something now said to be just one year away.

I think Ms. Solouki's life is in danger. Especially since she's a woman and Iran is an Islamic nation.

CAIR's Hooper Whines Over Tancredo Anti-Terror Ad

Story here.

15 November 2007: A 30-second television commercial called “Tough on Terror” began running in Iowa this week in advance of the January caucuses. Paid for by the funds from presidential candidate Rep. Tom Tancredo, the commercial depicts a hooded terrorist leaving a backpack at a shopping mall followed by a loud explosion The commercial ends with "Tancredo ... before it's too late." Regardless of your political persuasion or feelings about the 2008 presidential candidate, Mr. Tancredo knows what he is talking about and his ad must be taken seriously.

(...)

According to this source speaking exclusively to Doug Hagmann, veteran investigator, founder and director of the Northeast Intelligence Network, the current intelligence “flurry” is being compared to the intelligence data on potential domestic terror events during the spring and summer of 2001. As noted numerous times on this web site, this is a scenario that is not only desired by Islamic terrorists in the U.S., but one that consists of multiple scenarios which are being planned by Islamists inside the U.S. Further information suggests that specific areas in Canada are also targeted, and that the investigation of these plots extend into Canada as well as other foreign countries.

The events depicted in Mr. Tancredo’s television commercial are based in fact and should be taken seriously, despite the objections from the predictable and agenda-driven groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Commenting on Tancredo’s commercial and position on Islamic terrorism, Hooper stated:

"He's obviously seeking to exploit the unfortunately rising level of anti-Muslim rhetoric in our society to promote his own political agenda".

With the constant droning about the rise of non-existent Islamophobia being pushed upon the masses, Hooper and his associates, via the aura of legitimacy offered to CAIR by our own bipolar government, are constantly trying to revise history by making the Islamists victims of an intolerant society.

I like Tom Tancredo. He's telling it like it really is... raw. I wish the others would be similarly real, focussing on what's really important.

As for the Hooper guy from CAIR, well, what do we expect? This is what they do: Islamofascistic propaganda. Their agenda is Islamisation of the Free World as well as terrorism. In fact, even if we don't have another 9/11, that doesn't mean we're not being attacked. Because we are... every day. People like Hooper are always trying to impose Islam onto our society.

And isn't it interesting that all this really accelerated since 9/11, or at least we now see it happening, having previously not really ever thought of Islam/Muslims before that? Was 9/11 a ploy by the Islamic supremacist-imperialists to accelerate their Islamisation efforts? After all, immediately following 9/11, we heard the calls for the government to prevent anti-Muslim backlash, although there really hasn't been any... there's only been anti-terrorism and anti-Islamofascism. There is a difference between being opposed to terrorism and Islamofascism and being anti-Muslim. I know I'm not anti-Muslim... never have been. But I definitely am against Islamic supremacists/imperialists and their agenda!

Chicken Little's At It Again!

Chicken Little's trying harder than ever to scare the crap out of us!

This is getting old already. So they're upping the ante. Probably figure that a little fear wasn't enough, so they're trying to scare us even more now!

Put this in perspective.

They're worried about a little warmer future?

Well, if Iran gets to have nuclear weapons, I can guarantee an even warmer future than that. I can guarantee that the world will be unrecognizable once the Axis of Evil makes the mushroom clouds they're hellbent on making!

And even the UN believes that Iran is just a year away now from having a nuclear bomb...

Un Secretary-General Ban said, "The potential impact of global warming is "so severe and so sweeping that only urgent, global action will do".

Well, I'd suggest replacing "global warming" with "Iran's use of nuclear weapons".

Geez... the UN is so stupid!

Saddam's WMDs

Story here.

The MSM probably hasn't mentioned all of this. Probably is unaware, too.

It's definitely a worthy read. It's real good stuff, and weakens the anti-war crowd quite a bit more, though don't expect the MSM to do much about it.

And, may I say that the evidence strongly indicating Saddam's WMDs is far, far more convincing than the "data" provided by the IPCC to bolster its climate change theory?

Just because we haven't found physical WMDs and paraded them in front of the MSM doesn't mean that there weren't, or aren't, any. The article calls the evidence "near-smoking-guns", but at least it's more convincing than what the IPCC offers! And, remember, we have yet to witness this "catastrophic climate change" they swear is going to happen.

You'll have to read it and judge for yourself.

Here, however, is the summing-up at the end of the article to spark your interest (emphasis mine):

Saddam’s nuclear documents compel any reasonable person to the conclusion that, more probably than not, there were in fact nuclear WMD sites, components, and programs hidden inside Iraq at the time the Coalition forces invaded. In view of these newly discovered documents, it can be concluded, more probably than not, that Saddam did have a nuclear weapons program in 2001-2002, and that it is reasonably certain that he would have continued his efforts towards making a nuclear bomb in 2003 had he not been stopped by the Coalition forces. Four years after the war began, we still do not have all the answers, but we have many of them. Ninety percent of the Saddam files have never been read, let alone translated. It is time to utterly reject the conventional wisdom that there were no WMD in Iraq and look to the best evidence: Saddam’s own files on WMD. The truth is what it is, the documents speak for themselves.

Pa Court Strikes Down "Hate Crimes" Law

Story here.

A court has struck down Pennsylvania's version of a "hate crimes" law, ruling that what officials there call an "Ethnic Intimidation Law" restriction was "unconstitutional and therefore null and void."

(...)

The provisions adopted under the failed procedure increased penalties for crimes based on what the criminal was thinking, specifying the additional penalties for "actual or perceived … ancestry, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, gender or gender identity."

Sounds like a highly subjective law to me. Too open to dangerously broad interpretation. As are all "hate crimes" laws I can think of. Such laws can actually end up taking away peoples' rights as well as protecting them.

It doesn't make any logical sense to me to take away one person's rights to protect another's. The way it's supposed to be done is to guarantee everyone's rights will be protected, that none will be robbed of theirs. Besides, I see double standards all over the place. Like it's ok for one class of people to say nasty things about another class, but it doesn't work the other way around. This is inequality. Like "gays" are allowed to say horrendously hateful, discriminatory things about Christians and ex-"gays", but if the other side simply wishes to express, peacefully, respectfully, their own point of view, watch out for the Gestapo!

The Left wants to give totally-new rights to special classes of persons while taking away already-existing rights from others. This is wrong.

By the way, does anyone think that "sexual orientation" will, to the Left, always only mean "whether one prefers one's own or the other sex"? Don't count on it. They're going to include whatever they want, no limits. Nothing's too insane. So "sexual orientation" is a Pandora's Box term. Hey, how about foot-fetishists? How about people who like to get peed on, even drinking the stuff? Pedophiles? Bestialists? Necrophiles? Incestuous people? Polygamists? Coprophagists? S&Mers? Exhibitionists? Shit, why not even cannibals, as cannibalism could very well get a handful of criminally insane people off? Next thing you know, you'll hear of someone being persecuted by a court, losing his First Amendment right in favor of a pedophile, having "offended" the pedophile by saying nasty things about pedophilia... Sure, the Left will call me insane for saying this, but they'll really be projecting their own insanity.

U.S. Islamic Terrorist Organization Tied To Counterfeiting in Bust

Story here.

It's about Jamaat ul Fuqra, Sheik Mubarik Gilani (the bin-Laden loyalist man whom WSJ reporter Daniel Pearl was about to meet for an interview at the time of his kidnapping and murder) and Muslims of the Americas again.

16 November 2007: Earlier this year, a multi-million dollar counterfeit clothing ring based in New York City with its tentacles reaching into various states and internationally was busted by federal authorities after a lengthy investigation. Investigation revealed that at least three of those arrested have definitive ties to the terrorist organization Jamaat ul Fuqra and its front group, the Muslims of the Americas, led by Pakistani terrorist Sheikh Mubarek Ali Gilani. The latest action in this case occurred this week. On Wednesday, 14 November 2007, U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson sentenced Ronald Roundtree, 51, a member of the Muslims of the Americas camp in Virginia to 21 months in federal prison for his role in a multi-state, multi-million dollar counterfeiting ring.

The counterfeiting ring was busted by federal authorities on 7 March 2007, as announced by the United States Attorney’s Office Eastern District of Virginia. In a press release, authorities announced the arrest of eight-(8) individuals in Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, and New York, as part of a FBI led investigation into trafficking in counterfeit goods and copyright infringement.

We're onto the enemy at all times and will never tire of pursuing them. They cannot rest, not even in the Free World, where they mistakenly think it's going to be easy to pursue their Islamisation and terrorism goals. And they will fail. As God wills they will.

Important for Canadians: Don't forget that these folks also have a terror training camp in Canada. Just outside of our national capital, Ottawa.

Conservatives Reintroduce Bill to End Worthless, Wasteful Firearms Registry

Story here.

Now, I guess the Liberals will probably let the bill pass. They allowed Kyoto to die by sitting down and "abstaining", even though they swore that Kyoto would save the world and all that crap.

The Liberals would rather sacrifice their own long-gun registry boondoggle than sacrifice theirselves in an election.

Looks like we're going to pass a lot of bills that will do a lot of good for Canada and Canadians now! Count on the Liberals to sit down for Canada over and over again.

Who needs a majoritiy government? All you need is to have the Liberals in Opposition to follow "leader" Stephane Dion's "lead" and pussy out and sit on their thumbs and rotate whenever a vote to do something good (meaning something the Liberals don't like) is held.

Inquiry into what Schreiber the Fraudster claims notwithstanding, the Liberals know that it'll be a very, very, very long time before they'll ever be ready to fight an election. As it stands now, they look like Mr. Bean considering the pros and cons of stepping into the ring with Hulk Hogan.

We're Supposed To Investigate Liberal Wrongdoing

So why aren't we? Three dozen simultaneous criminal investigations into the behavior of the former Liberal government. Why is it taking so long? Why not an inquiry into the Liberals, too, to accompany the police investigations?

Looking into the now-opened up "foundations" and crown corporations where the Liberals were able to do things with billions of tax dollars without our knowledge, with only their word to explain what they supposedly did with it all. And we know their word is worthless. The Liberals are corrupt and crooked to the bone. They're even tight with the corrupt, crooked Karlheinz Schreiber, who gave them a hundred thousand bucks as a political donation.

So I guess it's not surprising that the Liberals see an opportunity to distract attention from their own crookedness by resurrecting the discredited allegations of the reprehensible Karlheinz character, who only makes all sorts of vague allegations NOW, after all these years, in a cynical attempt to avoid being extradited to Germany to face criminal charges.

Interesting how he says that if he's extradited, he won't talk anymore. Shit, he should've been extradited a long time ago before he dreamed up his obviously fabricated fables. What an asshole. But the Liberals see him as one of their own.

Also surprising is that Canadians supposedly find this interesting, important. Or do they? Is it really the MSM and the pollsters who want us to think that Canadians think that this is a very important matter? I find it unbelievable.

After all, there are many far, far, far more critically important things to deal with than some old crook making up stories about people so as to avoid extradition to possibly end up spending the rest of his life in a German jail for massive fraud.

Besides, the RCMP already knew of the allegations before, and found no substance to them.

So why do we need a multimilliondollar inquiry just to find out that Mulroney did nothing wrong taking some money for what I understand was a commission for something to do with a pasta making machine business, NOT the Airbus matter?

If it was a Liberal who took money like that, would there be such a big deal? I doubt the MSM would bother to make hay like they're doing right now.

All this over nothing more than allegations. To hell with the right to privacy, eh? No evidence exists other than claims by a fraudster/admitted liar about any wrongdoing by Mr. Mulroney. I can't believe this is happening. It's bizarre and surreal.

Nevertheless, I believe that we'll really end up only finding out damning stuff about the Liberals, who themselves were behaving like Karlheinz and making defamatory statements about Mr. Mulroney.

Sigh... this is what the Conservatives get for providing good, honest government instead of just pursuing a vendetta against the Liberals and aggressively digging the skeletons out of the closets to hold up to condemn the Liberals. But I think that now we'll start to hear about these Liberal skeletons, now that the Liberals have forced this inquiry by demanding it. They're just asking for it, so it's time to investigate them harder so that Canadians can find out what they did wrong/criminal just like they can find out whether Mr. Mulroney did anything wrong... or not. Surely, if Canadians, like the pollsters and MSM claim, want to know what happened a long time ago with BM, they'll be anxious to find out what crimes the Liberals committed with their tax dollars!
