Confronted with an ad questioning his connections with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, he went threatening legal action against the ad's sponsors and stations airing it. Way to go, Blulips. Nothing could show your religious and ideological lineage any clearer. Or maybe i should say "Cairer". When will we get a UN resolution calling for a ban on "insulting Obama"? Or was that planned for when the Obama Enforcement Organization (Public Allies) got its reeducation camps up and running?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unhappily for Obama, McCain has now shown himself to be a contender so far above him that it's not even funny. Obama's planned private army ("a national security force as well equipped as the military") will never come to pass, because the blighter will never be elected. McCain has effectively decapitated his campaign by choosing a woman of substance to stand on the Republican side - which was really all they needed. A rallying point of the fundamental decency that is western civilization. &lt;a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/09/the_culture_wars_decisive_batt_1.html"&gt;Herbert E. Meyer&lt;/a&gt; of American Thinker marks this as the decisive battle of the culture war, and he's right. And Obama (and his owners) will lose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Meanwhile, all kinds of strange stuff is going on. The sheer hate emanating from certain Democrats and the Obama campaign is enough to curl your hair (or your toes, depending which end you dip) - it's a regular witches cauldron. Some of the hate sites being put up by Obama fans easily rivals places like "Stormfront", "Revolution" over on Muslimpad, and what the "Tightrope" frontpage used to look like before that particular creep found that giving the space to flogging t-shirts and other nazist paraphernalia was better for the bottom line. On Huffington Post they seem to be decrying that Obama is being "moosed". Well, of course he is. I mean, the critter is just simply not at home among northern fauna. Over here we'd say he's being "moset", "mos" meaning "mash" and something you make with a masher. Words mean things, and sometimes the meanings get downright mean.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;So what next for Obama? Maybe he should sell of his "Air Faux 1" throne on Ebay? &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/sticker.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-3033161129897724617?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/3033161129897724617'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/3033161129897724617'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2008/08/audacity-of-hooperism.html' title='The Audacity of Hooperism'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-6195454043158128499</id><published>2008-03-06T18:19:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-03-06T18:58:04.023+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Imam Obama - take this cow....</title><content type='html'>Yep. Obama should have a cow. Or so I hear. Kenyan elders are in a snit over a photograph of Barack Hussein Obama in a turban, and they wanted to fine Hillary something along the lines of a cow. Or many cows. And possibly other farm animals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hillary should just give them their apology, and deliver all these mooers to the Obama campaign, since Barack seems to be having an intimate relationship with Kenya (Raila Odinga et al). It would be a cinch for him to have them all shipped off to the right place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, I'm most curious about a question that doesn't really seem to have have given anyone the willies. Yet. Is Obama a qualified Imam??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freedomsenemies.com/_Obama/ObamaReligion.htm"&gt;http://www.freedomsenemies.com/_Obama/ObamaReligion.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Snip from Freedomsenemies:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;According to &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://laotze.blogspot.com/2007/01/tracking-down-obama-in-indonesia-part-5.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tine&lt;br /&gt;Hahiyary&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;, one of Obama's teachers and the principal from 1971 through 1989,&lt;br /&gt;Barry actively took part in the Islamic religious lessons during his time at the&lt;br /&gt;school. His teacher was named Maimunah and she lived in the Puncak area,&lt;br /&gt;the Cianjur Regency."I remembered that he had studied "mengaji" (recitation of&lt;br /&gt;the Quran)" Tine said.Obama himself &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.anonymousliberal.com/2007/01/was-obama-raised-by-radical-islamists.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;recalls&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;"In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell mother I made faces during&lt;br /&gt;Koranic studies."Our &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://laotze.blogspot.com/2008/01/obama-and-inconvenient-truth.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;guy&lt;br /&gt;in Jakarta&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; writes: "The actual usage of the word 'mengaji' in Indonesian and&lt;br /&gt;Malaysian societies means the study of learning to recite the Quran in the&lt;br /&gt;Arabic language rather than the native tongue. "Mengagi" is a word and a&lt;br /&gt;term that is accorded the highest value and status in the mindset of&lt;br /&gt;fundamentalist societies here in Southeast Asia. To put it quite simply,&lt;br /&gt;'mengaji classes' are not something that a non practicing or so-called moderate&lt;br /&gt;Muslim family would ever send their child to. To put this in a Christian&lt;br /&gt;context, this is something above and beyond simply enrolling your child in&lt;br /&gt;Sunday school classes.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So what, exactly, is this "mengaji" thing?  To me, it sounds like "one who is able to lead the congregation in prayer", "one who can recite the quran" -- an Imam.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If that's what's aimed at the oval office, maybe a little more resources should be devoted to finding out.  I recall a very gloating statement, repeated over and over again on a nazi/islamist site: "It's difficult to win a war when the enemy is inside your head".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-6195454043158128499?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/6195454043158128499'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/6195454043158128499'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2008/03/imam-obama-take-this-cow.html' title='Imam Obama - take this cow....'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-116592330423191109</id><published>2006-12-12T12:29:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-12-14T16:01:23.563+01:00</updated><title type='text'>It's the season</title><content type='html'>It's been a while. But as usual, the bizarreness piles up to a point&lt;br /&gt;where a few intemperate comments have to get out. And of&lt;br /&gt;course, we're getting to the holidays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First up we have CAIR, that terrorist organization trying its best&lt;br /&gt;to emulate ACLU. Trying to have a few dirty fingers in the run&lt;br /&gt;of the Holocaust museum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seems that Dennis Prager, a member of the governing board of&lt;br /&gt;the Holocaust Memorial Museum, was careless enough to suggest&lt;br /&gt;that the Minnesota muslim recently elected to congress ought&lt;br /&gt;to be taking the oath on the bible instead of on the koran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instant muslim hysteria, of the most foam-flecked kind. Mr.&lt;br /&gt;Hooper, the ringleader of the CAIR wing of Hamas, evidently&lt;br /&gt;thinks he has a ring in President Bush's nose, so he's&lt;br /&gt;demanding that Prager be fired from the holocaust museum&lt;br /&gt;post. Funny thing, I'd have thought Mr. Hooper would long&lt;br /&gt;since be living it up in Tehran at the antisemite yule party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway. Look up "taqiyyah". It's the koranic command for&lt;br /&gt;a muslim to lie if it gains islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, Mr. Hooper, what exactly would be the difference&lt;br /&gt;between swearing on your book and swearing with your&lt;br /&gt;fingers crossed? Perhaps drop the book altogether and&lt;br /&gt;just cross all fingers and toes. But I'm pretty sure the bible&lt;br /&gt;doesn't instruct you in lying, you know. So the book choice&lt;br /&gt;does matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Hooper is also in a frenzy over US Air decanting a set&lt;br /&gt;of rabid clerics from a US Air flight, on the request of several&lt;br /&gt;passengers worried over the imams weird and threatening&lt;br /&gt;antics, both in the airport and on the plane. Good for US&lt;br /&gt;Air - if the muslims should boycott them they are a prime&lt;br /&gt;candidate to become the safest airline in the world, right up&lt;br /&gt;there with El Al.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in Tehran we have just had Homodinejad's preparatory&lt;br /&gt;holocaust-fest, featuring every nazist who feels in any way&lt;br /&gt;important and a set of Neturei Karta antisemites on proud&lt;br /&gt;display.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Sucker" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new2/r4108647561.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As usual, Mr. Homodinejad latches on to a&lt;br /&gt;friendly face with impressive suction.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other terrorism news, it is reported that senior folks&lt;br /&gt;from the Democratic pary have met with representatives&lt;br /&gt;of the terrorist group Hamas. This is, I think, an act of blatant&lt;br /&gt;criminality. But you know, there's an old and popular term&lt;br /&gt;for the Republicans. Broken glass republicans - willing to&lt;br /&gt;crawl over broken glass to vote Republican. I have another&lt;br /&gt;term in mind for the Democrats: Kristallnacht-democrats.&lt;br /&gt;Willing to endorse a new shoa for the Arab vote - and&lt;br /&gt;maybe a dollar or two. And of course the scratching of&lt;br /&gt;that itch that makes them snarl at "Jew Lieberman".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-116592330423191109?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/116592330423191109'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/116592330423191109'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2006/12/its-season.html' title='It&apos;s the season'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-115867647119704030</id><published>2006-09-19T16:29:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-09-21T15:43:44.043+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Not from the Home Depot</title><content type='html'>Since there's no end to the funny stuff (unintentionally, I'm sure)&lt;br /&gt;coming from that bedlam we laughingly call "Iran", I've been&lt;br /&gt;looking in the armoury for a suitable response. A response to&lt;br /&gt;what, you say?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, it seems Iran has designed "the most advanced Sea Shell".&lt;br /&gt;Blurp from FARS (no, not FARCE):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=8506260469"&gt;&lt;em&gt;TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- Iran's navy commander&lt;br /&gt;Admiral Sajjad Kouchaki said that Iranian military&lt;br /&gt;experts have succeeded in making the most advanced&lt;br /&gt;sea shell in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The shell called 'Fajr' comprises 25 thousand parts&lt;br /&gt;manufactured through partnership of over 100 Iranian&lt;br /&gt;companies and academic elites.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is, of course, enough bizarreness in just these&lt;br /&gt;couple of lines to sink an Iranian battleship, or perhaps&lt;br /&gt;an Iranian PT-boat. Generally, Seashells contains only one&lt;br /&gt;significant part - the mollusc. Although biologically complex,&lt;br /&gt;perhaps even comprising 25000 mollusc-widgets, it's&lt;br /&gt;tempting to classify the mollusc as almost as low-grade as&lt;br /&gt;the devices between the Iranian "Elite's" ears. Sorry&lt;br /&gt;Homodinejad, but that's the state of your "military".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However. It's tempting to think of a suitable present for&lt;br /&gt;the Iranian Baghdad-Bob-esque fixer-uppers of their&lt;br /&gt;Mohammedan Military forces. And by God, I think I&lt;br /&gt;have found the ideal surprise gift for all the followers of&lt;br /&gt;"Mad Mo" down there in Jihadland.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Compared to the ultra-advanced concepts coming from&lt;br /&gt;the Iranian Academic Elites it's somewhat old hat. It is,&lt;br /&gt;in fact, so old in the US arsenal that you could almost call&lt;br /&gt;it "traditional", although it was never tested back in the&lt;br /&gt;sixties when it was developed. It was deemed too destructive&lt;br /&gt;for a test in peacetime. But now the foot is in another&lt;br /&gt;boot, isn't it? And the world is teeming with proving&lt;br /&gt;grounds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I'm thinking the item almost made for the purpose of&lt;br /&gt;lending the Iranian Home Improvement Project a hand&lt;br /&gt;is a crowbar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now don't get me wrong. This is no cheap dingus from&lt;br /&gt;the Home Depot. This thing had many names: Pluto, "The&lt;br /&gt;Flying Crowbar", Vought SLAM or just "The Weapon From&lt;br /&gt;Hell".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's lots of interesting articles about this item, which&lt;br /&gt;was paused because of the lack of suitable testing facilities.&lt;br /&gt;From one of them:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.merkle.com/pluto/pluto.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pluto's namesake was Roman mythology's ruler of the&lt;br /&gt;underworld -- seemingly an apt inspiration for a&lt;br /&gt;locomotive-size missile that would travel at near-&lt;br /&gt;treetop level at three times the speed of sound,&lt;br /&gt;tossing out hydrogen bombs as it roared overhead.&lt;br /&gt;Pluto's designers calculated that its shock wave&lt;br /&gt;alone might kill people on the ground. Then there&lt;br /&gt;was the problem of fallout. In addition to gamma and&lt;br /&gt;neutron radiation from the unshielded reactor, Pluto's&lt;br /&gt;nuclear ramjet would spew fission fragments out in its&lt;br /&gt;exhaust as it flew by. (One enterprising weaponeer had&lt;br /&gt;a plan to turn an obvious peace-time liability into a&lt;br /&gt;wartime asset: he suggested flying the radioactive&lt;br /&gt;rocket back and forth over the Soviet Union after it&lt;br /&gt;had dropped its bombs.)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WOW, is all I can say. Hey Mahmoud, one of these things&lt;br /&gt;with its 26 hydrogen bombs load can wipe out Iran and&lt;br /&gt;then sterilize the place for hundreds of years. Since you've&lt;br /&gt;been touted as an engineer, if I remember, I'm sure tou're&lt;br /&gt;educated enough to know the meaning of the word "bonus".&lt;br /&gt;Btw, my curiosity is somewhat tickled over this - are you&lt;br /&gt;a "nuclear enginer", or a "nuclear physicist" like that&lt;br /&gt;demented Peanutfarmer, Dixie-mob-big and Rabbitophobe&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Carter?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, there's a good illustration of the crowbar in the&lt;br /&gt;linked article. And it WAS tested, in a way - just not given&lt;br /&gt;the freedom to fly around. So it's 50 years old tech that can&lt;br /&gt;be brought right out again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone in the Pentagon up for it?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-115867647119704030?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/115867647119704030'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/115867647119704030'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2006/09/not-from-home-depot.html' title='Not from the Home Depot'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-115799418305917409</id><published>2006-09-11T16:42:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-09-11T20:05:34.770+02:00</updated><title type='text'>On a bad day</title><content type='html'>Five years ago, on this day, I was on the phone with Nix. We&lt;br /&gt;were watching a bunch of webnews streams and stuff as usual.&lt;br /&gt;Of course, "usual" was only until the first plane hit the WTC.&lt;br /&gt;When the second one hit, it was pretty obvious what was going&lt;br /&gt;on. Still, Osama didn't even cross my mind. The "palestinians"&lt;br /&gt;did. And sure enough, a few hours into the day a Palestinian&lt;br /&gt;group actually claimed credit - the PFLP if I remember, but my&lt;br /&gt;memory may be slightly off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later, the world was in shock and the Palestinians celebrated.&lt;br /&gt;Dancing and ululation was everywhere, much shooting in the&lt;br /&gt;air, and cakes. Funny thing that, about the Palestinians: you'd&lt;br /&gt;think they'd be relegated to eating rubble, poor and down-&lt;br /&gt;trodden as they are, not to mention constantly blowing things&lt;br /&gt;up. But the land is flowing with cake. Maybe that's why the&lt;br /&gt;French love them so, because they've taken Marie Antoinette's&lt;br /&gt;advice to heart?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matter of fact, all the Arabs/Muslims celebrated, but the Pali&lt;br /&gt;celebrations seemed somehow the most orgiastic and insane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Ululating female" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new2/9_11_Palestinian2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still later, it became obvious just how much depravity there&lt;br /&gt;was among Americans. The left demonstrated - and made their&lt;br /&gt;views clear:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Lefty-Terrorist" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new2/i-love-newyork.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And a vile website, the Church of Euthanasia, put up one of&lt;br /&gt;the sickest videos I've seen on the web.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "Church" is here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.churchofeuthanasia.org/catalog/video.html"&gt;Church of Euthanasia video&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It might be a good thing if the "Church" got a certain level of&lt;br /&gt;feedback.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So. Against that backdrop of vileness and perversion, a couple&lt;br /&gt;of items popped into my head. Maybe to balance things out a&lt;br /&gt;little. They're both quite unrelated to anything, but they both&lt;br /&gt;form sort of a tenous link between Norway and Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Item one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I was a kid, I used to have this neighbour who was, among&lt;br /&gt;other things, a true technical genius. For example, back not so&lt;br /&gt;long after WWII, having a tractor was somewhat uncommon up&lt;br /&gt;north. But this guy built one for his dad, out of scavenged parts -&lt;br /&gt;a dead gearbox here, a crankaxle there, an engine block... you get&lt;br /&gt;the idea. More examples: he set up a large sort of garage, mostly&lt;br /&gt;as a hobby, and handbuilt most of the power tools. If he had a&lt;br /&gt;dead motor, he'd rewind and rewire it himself. He got into ham&lt;br /&gt;radio in middle age, and having gotten his license went about&lt;br /&gt;building equipment and unceremoniously plonked a 50ft selfbuilt&lt;br /&gt;radio tower next to his house. It looked like the bloody Eiffel tower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was also a gun nut. And I guess it rubbed over, somewhat.&lt;br /&gt;And when I sold my 12ga over/under, he bought it and was&lt;br /&gt;pleased about it - and he was pleased to lend me his M1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was a big, frequently redfaced man with a terrible temper&lt;br /&gt;and a huge heart. God bless him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what does that have to do with Israel? Nothing. Maybe.&lt;br /&gt;But his Dad's name was Meier. Never struck me before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Item two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a sort of linguistic link. See, we'll soon be coming up&lt;br /&gt;on Christmas. And of course, in October, Sukkot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the important ingredients in Norwegian baking for&lt;br /&gt;Christmas, used in the Christmas Cake, is something called&lt;br /&gt;Sukat. It's green (looks like diced snot, actually), but still&lt;br /&gt;tasty. It's used along with raisins. With me so far?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sukat, it turns out, is a glazed citrus fruit peel. Guess what&lt;br /&gt;citrus fruit? The Etrog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, out there in the real world, &lt;a href="http://newsbusters.org/node/7531"&gt;Mark Finkelstein&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;is reporting on the days nastyness from the New York&lt;br /&gt;Times. Quote:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"On a day when we should be coming together, the Times &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;does its best to tear us apart. On a day when the focus should &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;be on the terrorists who threaten us and the brave people &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;who have defended us against them, the Times trains all its &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;bile on the Bush administration".&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The New York Times.

The remarks were quite&lt;br /&gt;exceedingly strange, but then they were given in strange&lt;br /&gt;company - the IPF is an offshoot of "the Oslo process", the&lt;br /&gt;architects of which were an unappetizing blend of Jihadist&lt;br /&gt;sympathizers and petty criminals. The now chief UN kahuna&lt;br /&gt;on the Mid-East front, for example, left Norway and an already&lt;br /&gt;established post as "minister of planning" in the wake of an&lt;br /&gt;embarassing police investigation into his finances and tax&lt;br /&gt;history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Olmert:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ipforum.org/display.cfm?id=10&amp;Sub=58&amp;amp;dis=6"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are tired of fighting, we are tired of being courageous,&lt;br /&gt;we are tired of winning, we are tired of defeating our&lt;br /&gt;enemies, we want that we will be able to live in an entirely&lt;br /&gt;different environment of relations with our enemies.&lt;br /&gt;We want them to be our friends...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It goes on. But already in 2005, Israel's enemies were&lt;br /&gt;Olmert's friends. And it didn't really start there, of course.&lt;br /&gt;Voices in the Sharon government, which Olmert was a&lt;br /&gt;part of, were early on heard favouring removal of IDF&lt;br /&gt;protection from settler outposts the wanted gone. The&lt;br /&gt;thinking was that the Arabs, well armed as they were,&lt;br /&gt;would soon drive the settlers off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Pinhead" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/r-olmert-1t.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, of course, after the Lebanon debacle, the pinhead&lt;br /&gt;may have to pay with his political life. After too many of&lt;br /&gt;his countrymen paid with their real life for his politics of&lt;br /&gt;appeasement, delusion and "Arabs First".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But maybe not. Already, Olmert's ilk is heard voicing its&lt;br /&gt;point of view in papers like Haaret'z (which just yesterday&lt;br /&gt;sold 25% of its stock to a German company with an&lt;br /&gt;illustrous Nazi past). From Gideon Levy:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/749680.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another slam-bam win would have brought disaster upon us.&lt;br /&gt;Drugged with power, drunk with victory, we would have been&lt;br /&gt;tempted to implement our success in other arenas.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drugged with power and drunk with victory, huh? Not bloody&lt;br /&gt;likely with your kind, Mr. Levy - you represent the leftwing&lt;br /&gt;Jews so bent on suicide that you'll leap triumphantly into the&lt;br /&gt;ovens and gloatingly drag your unwilling brethren with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this nincompoop goes on, about the six-day war:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;There is no way of imagining an easier and sweeter victory.&lt;br /&gt;Israel's "deterrent capability" was restored - and in a big way -&lt;br /&gt;in a manner that was supposed to guarantee its security for&lt;br /&gt;many years. And what happened?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll tell you what happened: Levy's kind happened.  The&lt;br /&gt;antisemitic-to-the-bone American appeasement train&lt;br /&gt;arrived.  And Israel, after yet again beating the Arabs (who&lt;br /&gt;had their nuts raked out of the fire by the US) gave Sinai&lt;br /&gt;back to the enemy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, let me suggest a non-PC script for stopping this nonsense&lt;br /&gt;once and for all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Take aside 10% of Israel's nuclear warheads for immediate delivery.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Set aside another 10% on second-strike platforms.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hit Iran.  Hit Tehran with 8 medium warheads in a circular pattern.  Then use 8 more for nuclear installations.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hit Syria.  One large warhead over Damascus should be enough.  Now you should be down to 23 warheads left, for immediate use at your discretion, after having spent a very short amount of time neutralizing Iran and Syria.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;You're now left with 63 warheads in first-strike and second-strike positions.  Ask the EU, the US and the UN if they have any objections.  If they object, ask what 63 cities they would like to lose first.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of course, this will never happen.  Israel will march itself right into Holocaust II before it acts "disproportionately".  Too bad.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-115581217481525573?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/115581217481525573'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/115581217481525573'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2006/08/tired-of-winning.html' title='Tired of Winning'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-115480156107443278</id><published>2006-08-05T20:03:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-08-05T20:12:41.093+02:00</updated><title type='text'>The Agony of Choosing</title><content type='html'>I came across this revealing shot of Mr. Homodinejad looking&lt;br /&gt;over his flock:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Homodinejad's pick" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/ahmadinejad-.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wonder when the Iranian sharia courts are going to give this&lt;br /&gt;cretin the 60 lashes they owe him?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-115480156107443278?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/115480156107443278'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/115480156107443278'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2006/08/agony-of-choosing.html' title='The Agony of Choosing'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-115392940017453817</id><published>2006-07-26T17:32:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-07-26T17:56:40.200+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Man of Peace</title><content type='html'>What with all the hullabaloo in the middle east, I've been&lt;br /&gt;on a Bob Dylan binge. The lyrics for "Neighborhood Bully"&lt;br /&gt;are popping up literally everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I've got another set of lyrics running around in my&lt;br /&gt;head at the moment, after seeing Mr. Annan, that icon of&lt;br /&gt;UN antisemitism, snarling and snapping at the Jews as&lt;br /&gt;usual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just a couple of verses. I'm sure old Bob wouldn't mind:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;He got a sweet gift of gab, he got a harmonious tongue,&lt;br /&gt;He knows every song of love that ever has been sung.&lt;br /&gt;Good intentions can be evil,&lt;br /&gt;Both hands can be full of grease.&lt;br /&gt;You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, first he's in the background, then he's in the front,&lt;br /&gt;Both eyes are looking like they're on a rabbit hunt.&lt;br /&gt;Nobody can see through him,&lt;br /&gt;No, not even the Chief of Police.&lt;br /&gt;You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Man of Peace" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/kofi.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kofi Annan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I bet you never thought about Kofi's underpants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Kofipants" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/kofipant2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is this his secret?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-115392940017453817?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/115392940017453817'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/115392940017453817'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2006/07/man-of-peace.html' title='Man of Peace'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-115352532890140532</id><published>2006-07-22T01:25:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-07-25T20:13:07.213+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Send war in our time,O Lord!</title><content type='html'>Because it is time, and time past, for "something to drop&lt;br /&gt;from eyes long blind" - and for the showdown between the&lt;br /&gt;madness of the dark ages, Islam, and the civilized world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel is, at long last, at the moment of truth - and the rest&lt;br /&gt;of the world has to gather round to help or go under. This&lt;br /&gt;is not an "oppression of poor palestinians", or of "poor&lt;br /&gt;Lebanese civilians". It is Islam's war to extinction against&lt;br /&gt;all that is not Islam and it will ultimately end with Islam or&lt;br /&gt;the rest of the world surviving. Fidels or infidels, not fidels&lt;br /&gt;and infidels. My erstwhile countryman Jan Egeland can take&lt;br /&gt;that "proportionality" and choke on it. Trygve Lie would be&lt;br /&gt;extremely ashamed of his organization today - imagine the&lt;br /&gt;pre-war League of Nations as a powerful entity and in Hitler's&lt;br /&gt;pocket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Israel were to pursue "proportionality", we would see&lt;br /&gt;millions dead in Syria, Iran, Iraq, Asia and Europe.&lt;br /&gt;There would already have been nuclear strikes at Tehran&lt;br /&gt;(Tehran's population is somewhere around the ten million&lt;br /&gt;mark) and against Damascus (pop. ~ 1,3 million).&lt;br /&gt;The Gaza and West Bank "Palestinians" would have been&lt;br /&gt;driven into Jordan, Egypt or the sea. And Geneva, the&lt;br /&gt;Hague and other capitals of the "fourth reich" would be on&lt;br /&gt;the Israeli ICBM target roster, just for safety's sake. This&lt;br /&gt;is proportional. Israel's existence is at stake, so she has the&lt;br /&gt;right to remove the threat by any means necessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What the appeasers of the Eurabian salons (and they form&lt;br /&gt;an uncomfortably large proportion - there's that word again -&lt;br /&gt;of the EU population) have not groked so far is, of course, that&lt;br /&gt;their own existence is at stake too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that they better get on the ball or go the way of chaff&lt;br /&gt;in the wind. Personally, I'd love to see them go - except their&lt;br /&gt;place would be taken by crazies throwing bombs and slicing&lt;br /&gt;throats instead of wringing hands and blubbering about Israeli&lt;br /&gt;"disproportionality". From the pan into the fire, as it were.&lt;br /&gt;So I hope they'll not crawl under a rock and expire just yet,&lt;br /&gt;unlovable as they are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, it would probably be possible for Israel to act in a&lt;br /&gt;"disproporionate" way. I can think of a few things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I can't think of, in my wildest imagination, is talks&lt;br /&gt;with these people:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Celebrating Sharon's stroke&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Sharon Stroke Celebration" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/41ea4a42.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Sharon Stroke Celebration" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/df156af3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Sharon Stroke Celebration" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/f280cf9b.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Cartoon insanity&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Prophet Madness" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/r1363645636.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Prophet Madness" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/farisa.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry. Better dead than red, to bring the parlance back to&lt;br /&gt;the days of "The Evil Empire". And life in Islamofascist&lt;br /&gt;utopia is, from all acounts, infinitely worse than life in old&lt;br /&gt;KGB-land - although it's being given a run for its money&lt;br /&gt;by the newer red paradises.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway - it's crunch time. The US and the rest of the world&lt;br /&gt;can, to some degree, atone for previous sins by standing with&lt;br /&gt;Israel now. They better. For example, when whining about&lt;br /&gt;Lebanon and it's "fledgling democracy" one should bear in&lt;br /&gt;mind a few things:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lebanon is not a democracy, fledgling or otherwise, as long as&lt;br /&gt;it's governed by a foreign terrorist organization controlled&lt;br /&gt;by Tehran. In fact, Lebanon isn't even a viable state. The&lt;br /&gt;state of Lebanon was murdered by Yasser Arafat with the&lt;br /&gt;active help of America. And that's just one of the blows dealt&lt;br /&gt;by the US against Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Norway has a bit to make up for too. The Oslo process has&lt;br /&gt;made the word "Oslo" even more infamous around the world&lt;br /&gt;than WWII managed to make the name "Quisling". A cold,&lt;br /&gt;hard look will show that while there were probably some good&lt;br /&gt;intentions both in the path of Mr. Quisling and the history&lt;br /&gt;of the "Oslo process", both were supremely stupid. And&lt;br /&gt;ultimately evil.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-115352532890140532?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/115352532890140532'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/115352532890140532'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2006/07/send-war-in-our-timeo-lord.html' title='Send war in our time,O Lord!'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-115031711820208268</id><published>2006-06-14T22:16:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-06-14T22:31:58.216+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Priorities 2</title><content type='html'>&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="International Women's Day" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/intl_women.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Google International Women's Day&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Mozart's Birthday" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/mozart.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Google Mozart's Birthday&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="World Cup" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/worldcup06.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Google World Cup&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Flag Day" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/logostraight.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Google Flag Day&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-115031711820208268?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/115031711820208268'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/115031711820208268'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2006/06/priorities-2.html' title='Priorities 2'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-114943967531878848</id><published>2006-06-04T17:37:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-07-18T15:30:56.270+02:00</updated><title type='text'>To whom it may concern</title><content type='html'>In her latest post on the &lt;a href="http://downandirty.blogspot.com/"&gt;Israel Right and Wrong&lt;/a&gt; blog, Nix&lt;br /&gt;made an assertion of prophecy/clairvoiance. From what I&lt;br /&gt;have seen since 1999, she's right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For some of the claims she may make, I have notes. For&lt;br /&gt;some I have not. These are all just my notes, however, so&lt;br /&gt;it's up to anyone whether to believe them or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's one, though, that is a little bit different. It concerns&lt;br /&gt;the space shuttle tragedy in 2003. Nix told me repeatedly,&lt;br /&gt;in the hours before anything happened, that the shuttle would&lt;br /&gt;be destroyed and that she thought it would be by an explosion&lt;br /&gt;or similar. We were on the phone at the time, and to say that&lt;br /&gt;she was upset doesn't really begin to describe it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eventually I went to bed, getting back to the running news&lt;br /&gt;on the web when I woke up. And the first thing I saw was&lt;br /&gt;the first murmurs of something being wrong with the shuttle,&lt;br /&gt;on &lt;a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/833885/posts"&gt;http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/833885/posts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I called Nix, and we both watched the events of Columbia's&lt;br /&gt;eventual crash unfold. It was a rather terrible day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the discussion linked to (and several others&lt;br /&gt;concerning Columbia) took place on freerepublic.com.&lt;br /&gt;Shortly after the crash, Nix - on one of those threads -&lt;br /&gt;described her prediction to me. I made a post and&lt;br /&gt;confirmed it, here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/839459/posts?page=19#19"&gt;Columbia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To make things clear: over the years I have known her, Nix&lt;br /&gt;has made literally hundreds of predictions to me, and&lt;br /&gt;statements of facts that she couldn't have known at the&lt;br /&gt;time - indeed, that nobody knew at the time. Some were&lt;br /&gt;so improbable that I argued she had to be wrong. As it&lt;br /&gt;turned out, she was not.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-114943967531878848?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/114943967531878848'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/114943967531878848'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2006/06/to-whom-it-may-concern.html' title='To whom it may concern'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-114893624099667387</id><published>2006-05-29T22:27:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-05-29T22:58:52.710+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Priorities</title><content type='html'>&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Valentines Day" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/valentine05.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Google Valentines Day&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="St. Patrick's Day" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/stpatricks_06.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Google St. Patrick's Day&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="July 4th" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/july4th05.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Google July 4th&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Halloween" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/halloween05.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Google Halloween&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Easter" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/easter_logo.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Google Easter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Earth Day" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/earthday06.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Google Earth Day&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Arthur Conan Doyle's birthday" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/conan_doyle.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Google Arthur Conan Doyle's birthday&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Memorial Day" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/logostraight.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Google Memorial Day&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-114893624099667387?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/114893624099667387'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/114893624099667387'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2006/05/priorities.html' title='Priorities'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-114725726504202225</id><published>2006-05-10T12:22:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-05-12T01:47:02.130+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Fun and Games</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;A while ago I came across a funny sort of thing on the Iraq&lt;br /&gt;The Model blog, about Muqtada al-Sadr and his slightly&lt;br /&gt;bizarre view of ball sports.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://iraqthemodel.blogspot.com/2006/04/soccer-jewish-conspiracy.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Habibi the west made things for us that distract us from our&lt;br /&gt;integration, uh, what it put for us? Made us run after a ball&lt;br /&gt;habibi…that is like 'eat gargary'* habibi.&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They let us waste time on it…singing, football, and and and&lt;br /&gt;smoking and stuff and satellites in forbidden things are used&lt;br /&gt;and so on; they left us to do forbidden things and they mostly&lt;br /&gt;turned to scientific things and thingy things.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's quite a few good illustrations of the mindset of Islam&lt;br /&gt;around the web. One of the things they keep saying, over and&lt;br /&gt;over, is this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;We are morons. We always were morons. We'll always be morons.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It's the Jews fault. They're into science while we're morons.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They're half right, of course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, talking down on Gargary, ol' Muqtada looks like he's&lt;br /&gt;had more than a passing aquaintance with the sugar lollipops&lt;br /&gt;himself. Probably cleans his teeth with a stick, like any good wahab.&lt;br /&gt;Not that there's anything wrong with cleaning wahabist teeth with&lt;br /&gt;a stick, of course. But imagine a wanderer, meeting Zawahri on&lt;br /&gt;the road somewhere:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wanderer: "Oh wise old man with the scraggly beard and the&lt;br /&gt;leprous growth on the forehead, which way to the Umma?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zawahri: "Silly kufr. It's right over yonder hill. See that cloud&lt;br /&gt;of halitosis rising?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/05/08/060508144347.rrdmp0ut.html"&gt;In other news of the wide world of sports&lt;/a&gt;, Iran is set to ban&lt;br /&gt;any athlete looking too effeminate. They seem particularly set&lt;br /&gt;against footballers plucking their eyebrows. Hereafter we can&lt;br /&gt;expect the Iranian footballers not only to have fallen prey to&lt;br /&gt;the Jewish trap of useless organ-moving, but also to wear the&lt;br /&gt;popular unibrow. You know, the kind you see in all these&lt;br /&gt;common Gaza activities like swarming on dead bodies, waving&lt;br /&gt;Islamic flags, burning other flags, lugging explosives, having&lt;br /&gt;"work accidents", slicing their kids with daggers, jumping around&lt;br /&gt;with the koran, jumping around with guns, jumping around&lt;br /&gt;with their newly made nitroglycer...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You get the idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, if their boss could only be slightly less effeminate (Nix&lt;br /&gt;only calls him "Homodinejad") . It's the best moniker I've&lt;br /&gt;seen for him in a while. Look (may a popout be upon your&lt;br /&gt;eyes):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="You are the sound of one lip kissing" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/ahmadinejad.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, it would also be good if Mr. Homodinejad were&lt;br /&gt;slightly less lunatic. That might make him less prone to think&lt;br /&gt;that he is glowing supernaturally and less prone to arrange&lt;br /&gt;for his countrymen to glow naturally. Maybe if he would wash&lt;br /&gt;more, sort of use more time on personal grooming and stuff,&lt;br /&gt;he'd have less time to converse with djinns and fantasize&lt;br /&gt;about his magical aura?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The latest tard-scare in the Iran nuclear bomb thing is&lt;br /&gt;supposedly al-Quaeda threatening to set off nuclear bombs&lt;br /&gt;in the US if Iran isn't allowed to proceed with their bomb.&lt;br /&gt;Hello? Anyone &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; there? If the moonbats had a nuclear&lt;br /&gt;arsenal, would they have run around like they've eaten&lt;br /&gt;berserker-shrooms demanding to have their bomb?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From WorldNetDaily:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=49950"&gt;Mir said that he met with an Egyptian engineer last week&lt;br /&gt;who lost an eye after one of bin Laden's nuclear tests in the&lt;br /&gt;Kunar province of Pakistan.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right.

Is he&lt;br /&gt;inappropriately touching her? Why are her eyes bugging out?&lt;br /&gt;Why is her hair bugging out? And who is that person with the&lt;br /&gt;winged hair in front of her??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmm....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, Mahmoud "I'm Tiny" Ahmadinejad's military is&lt;br /&gt;bragging that they have made a &lt;a href="http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/488120/695381"&gt;"super-modern flying ship".&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="The Flying Boat" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/flyingship.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The flying boat is supposedly invisible - much like Ahmadinejad's&lt;br /&gt;golden halo, and able to fire missiles &lt;em&gt;while moving&lt;/em&gt;. Oh, and the&lt;br /&gt;Iran Revolutionary Guards have a Torpedo too. Not just one,&lt;br /&gt;in fact, but two homerolled Mohammedan torpedos. Or is that&lt;br /&gt;torpedoes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, they are being so obviously dangerous, mean and&lt;br /&gt;malevolent that one should just take their posturing at face&lt;br /&gt;value and hand them a Trident. Which would neatly cut the&lt;br /&gt;whole gordian knot of islamic nukes, Iranian nutball wannabe&lt;br /&gt;genociders and sheer annoying islamofascist creepiness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="MIRV, anyone?" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/trident.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news of world wide wackiness, we find that the first&lt;br /&gt;statue to commemorate the late Pope John Paul II has been&lt;br /&gt;made by a muslim. Perhaps not so odd in view of the Pope's&lt;br /&gt;famous kissing of the Koran, but still. The sculptor, a muslim&lt;br /&gt;and karate-exponent, claims the Pope saved his life on three&lt;br /&gt;occasions - when he attempted "dangerous records". Why are&lt;br /&gt;karate record attempts dangerous, and why did they involve&lt;br /&gt;the Pope??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the sculpture prominently features a dove dominating&lt;br /&gt;the globe, which is again seen placed in a dominant position over&lt;br /&gt;the cross. Jihadi symbolism often features the Globe. The&lt;br /&gt;dove, also, often features prominently as more of a Jihadist&lt;br /&gt;symbol than anything peaceful. For example, it is found&lt;br /&gt;frequently in Hamas outlets advocating suicide bombing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And as any pest-control professional will tell you, in their field&lt;br /&gt;doves are known as "flying rats"...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Symbolism: Dove over Globe over Cross" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/popestat.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-114417658555003834?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/114417658555003834'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/114417658555003834'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2006/04/inappropriate-flying-things.html' title='Inappropriate Flying Things'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-114375038685171749</id><published>2006-03-30T19:22:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-03-30T22:41:14.123+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Chip the Bastards!</title><content type='html'>I was going to say a few things about that "Israeli", Mr. Olmert,&lt;br /&gt;but the theme is just too distasteful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suffice to say that there seems to have been election &lt;a href="http://freund.typepad.com/my_weblog/2006/03/the_election_ou.html#comment-15527124"&gt;fraud&lt;/a&gt;, no&lt;br /&gt;doubt because Jimmah Carter wasn't there to do pollwatching.&lt;br /&gt;Olmerts gorillas would probably have let an entourage led by&lt;br /&gt;an icon of the US of Antisemitism through, instead of rounding&lt;br /&gt;the inspectors up like they did with the conservatives.

Cynthia McKinney&lt;br /&gt;is on the loose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Fierce Creatures II" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/150-mckinney.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many are writing about McKinney's latest bout of weirdness&lt;br /&gt;trying to punch out a member of the Capitol Police trying to get&lt;br /&gt;her attention when she evaded the metal detector.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, Cynthia seems to be in the nasty habit of not wearing her&lt;br /&gt;ID-pin. I understand that similar arrogant habits are quite&lt;br /&gt;common amongst the "big" people making their lair at the Capitol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me suggest an effective, simple and cheap solution: chip the&lt;br /&gt;bastards. Have them chipped with a solution that will track them&lt;br /&gt;from they reach, say, 50 feet from the Capitol entrance. In terms&lt;br /&gt;of technology, this should be a little more elaborate than the&lt;br /&gt;stuff used for your beloved Fido, but not terribly much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to splash for a much more elaborate solution, you&lt;br /&gt;might design a chip capable of delivering electric pulses. Make&lt;br /&gt;it receive signals from stations in the Capitol. And then devise&lt;br /&gt;a system to let voters deliver their displeasure to the Capitol via&lt;br /&gt;the TV remote. This would open for all kinds of neat stuff, like&lt;br /&gt;weighting (congresscritter McKinney has accumulated 16&lt;br /&gt;demerit points this afternoon --- mild zap!, RINO Specter&lt;br /&gt;had 378 Republicans fuming --- WHAP!!). Could even result&lt;br /&gt;in a popular "watch the Congress" live TV channel. At which&lt;br /&gt;point the creeps would actually be doing something useful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amusing the public.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-114375038685171749?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/114375038685171749'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/114375038685171749'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2006/03/chip-bastards.html' title='Chip the Bastards!'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-114289476513610522</id><published>2006-03-20T13:57:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-03-21T12:15:01.496+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Diplomat Games</title><content type='html'>From Vienna comes the news of a Yemen diplomat unloading&lt;br /&gt;his pistol on a hapless &lt;a href="http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1139395628930&amp;amp;pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull"&gt;shoeshine&lt;/a&gt; man who didn't hop to his&lt;br /&gt;bidding fast enough.

We'll get to it in a&lt;br /&gt;moment, but first: old business. I said my modest Mohammed&lt;br /&gt;insult was too big to fit here, so it's been shrunk:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Mohammed" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/moh4.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway.

Here's the deal:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2006060507,00.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Muslim fury at sex toy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FURIOUS Muslims have blasted adult shop Ann Summers&lt;br /&gt;for selling a blow-up male doll called MUSTAFA SHAG.

The English have already banned some piggy banks&lt;br /&gt;so as not to offend the crazies, so I guess the blowup Mustafas&lt;br /&gt;may be shortlived. After all, there's no shortage of &lt;em&gt;real&lt;/em&gt; blowup&lt;br /&gt;muslims, is there?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But of course, it may behoove the dhimmis to run a check on&lt;br /&gt;synonyms for Mohammed.

Mr. Olmert, the&lt;br /&gt;usurper of government, seems to be sitting very still. He may&lt;br /&gt;be torn between making another attack on the Jews, defying&lt;br /&gt;Hamas, not defying Hamas, paying Hamas tribute or just&lt;br /&gt;running away. Luckily for him, he still has Condoleezza Rice&lt;br /&gt;whispering sweet nothings in his ear. Which doesn't seem to&lt;br /&gt;make him any less malignant in any way whatsoever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Fierce Pinhead (Capo Ferox)" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/r-olmert-1t.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Capo Ferox&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Condoleezza is telling him that the US is, &lt;em&gt;of course&lt;/em&gt;, still an ally.&lt;br /&gt;And that the US is really, really pushing at us silly Euros to get&lt;br /&gt;us to not be rushing into dealing with Hamas. Well, if there's&lt;br /&gt;any betraying of Israel to be done, the US has traditionally&lt;br /&gt;preferred to do that themselves. That's perfectly understandable.&lt;br /&gt;She probably wouldn't like old EU to cut into the Arab -&gt; USA&lt;br /&gt;paystructure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, in the world at large, there seems to be a fatal error&lt;br /&gt;in that notorious religion we all know. Yes, I know I digress. Sort&lt;br /&gt;of. Anyway, spot the flaw:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Boom" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/isl.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry to say, my Mohammed insult was too big to display,&lt;br /&gt;shamefully modest as it was, so it will have to be in a later post.&lt;br /&gt;But the few and timid Mohammed toons already out there have&lt;br /&gt;already put the peaceful model guest citizens from the seething&lt;br /&gt;umma into their usual genocidal frenzy. Or so they say. It&lt;br /&gt;might have more to do with the machinations of Iran, a certifiable&lt;br /&gt;state of lunacy, working through the Islamic Nazi Party Hizb&lt;br /&gt;ut-Tahrir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Fifth Column" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/020306_cartoon.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In any case, the US State Department is being a good Mohammedan&lt;br /&gt;sort of sport, as usual, and toeing the Wahab line against freedom&lt;br /&gt;of speech. The State Department fatwa comes at a time when most&lt;br /&gt;of the world is waking up to what is actually going on, Islamwise,&lt;br /&gt;and seems to be designed to appease the rabid dog foaming just&lt;br /&gt;inches from biting off another 9.11. But then, the department has a&lt;br /&gt;long and sordid history both of &lt;a href="http://usinfo.state.gov/products/pubs/muslimlife/"&gt;proselytizing&lt;/a&gt; (illegally, I might add)&lt;br /&gt;for Islam, and of using Jewish blood as currency for buying Arab&lt;br /&gt;favour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Lesser Official" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/hamas_aktivist.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;State Department official appearing on condition of anonymity&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The one SD official who is never anonymous, but always the Arab&lt;br /&gt;gofer, is of course Condoleezza Rice. Funny how that name always&lt;br /&gt;bring the word-association "condolences". Anyone have my deepest&lt;br /&gt;condolences for having to deal with that critter. Or, as someone&lt;br /&gt;pointed out at LGF recently: &lt;a href="http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=19076#c0359"&gt;Condi Rice is...CRAP! CRAP! CRAP!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Your eyes are like pools of crude.." src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/usadm/condi-saud.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Your eyes are like pools of crude.."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But even if it is tempting to believe that the US State Department&lt;br /&gt;is acting under its own dhimmitude, I have to conclude that the US&lt;br /&gt;President is no better. Actually, I've been watching Dubya's lips&lt;br /&gt;move. For years. And there seems to be a sync problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he said (before he was first elected, way back when)&lt;br /&gt;that his first Presidential act would be to move the US embassy&lt;br /&gt;in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, he obviously meant:&lt;br /&gt;"I'm gonna have my goonies lean on those dumb Jews until&lt;br /&gt;they cede Jerusalem to Hamas. In the meantime, the SD can&lt;br /&gt;deny Jewish/American passports from stating "Born in&lt;br /&gt;Jerusalem, Israel" - a department behaviour in open defiance&lt;br /&gt;of US law. That'll teach'em".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he said that he'd veto the McCain/Feingold act, he clearly&lt;br /&gt;meant "I'll sign the McCain/Feingold act. Political free speech&lt;br /&gt;is a nasty sort of thing anyway".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he was wearing a kippa at the Kotel, he obviously was&lt;br /&gt;a bit less than sincere since his goal, crystalized in amazing&lt;br /&gt;sharpness over the last few years, seems to be driving the&lt;br /&gt;Jews into the sea - an achievement not realized by even his&lt;br /&gt;most antisemitic predecessors or even that saint in the&lt;br /&gt;Arab consciousness, Herr Hitler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On his watch, America has courageously introduced landmark&lt;br /&gt;legislation apart from the attack on free political speech. Private&lt;br /&gt;property has been abolished "with the stroke of a pen". There's&lt;br /&gt;a few protests, but mostly the "Elephants" (or anyone's) response&lt;br /&gt;seems to be a gallop for businesses to steal whatever real&lt;br /&gt;estate they don't already own. Clinton must be gasping in&lt;br /&gt;awe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clinton was famously claimed to be "the first black President".&lt;br /&gt;With Dubya's dealings with the Sauds and his relationship&lt;br /&gt;with Bill Clinton at a "like a brother" level, I'd not be surprised&lt;br /&gt;to see him claiming to be "the first Arab president".

Well, not quite those&lt;br /&gt;terms but near enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What he can't weasel out of, however, is the rest of his slime-&lt;br /&gt;trail. It's there for all to see, like something left by a murder-&lt;br /&gt;snail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seems that in 2004, Mr. Arad went to work for a well-known&lt;br /&gt;Romanian antisemite named Vadim Tudor. Even the rather&lt;br /&gt;liberal/leftwing Anti-defamation League was appalled, and said&lt;br /&gt;so:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.adl.org/PresRele/ASInt_13/4466_13.htm"&gt;It is appalling that Eyal Arad has agreed to run the Presidential&lt;br /&gt;election campaign of Vadim Tudor, a known anti-Semite,&lt;br /&gt;thereby giving credibility to Mr. Tudor and his party, Romania&lt;br /&gt;Mare. Through his party’s newspaper and in public statements&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Tudor has a long and entrenched history of anti-Semitism&lt;br /&gt;and anti-Jewish conspiracy theories.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the ADL may have the idea that Jews cannot be antisemites.&lt;br /&gt;It is a tempting concept, but events prove otherwise. Just think&lt;br /&gt;of the words of Shimon Peres:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There's too many Jews in Israel, and not enough Israelis. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, here's another description of Mr. Arad's onetime&lt;br /&gt;employer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corneliu_Vadim_Tudor"&gt;..the platform of which Time magazine described as "a crude&lt;br /&gt;mixture of anti-Semitism, racism and nostalgia for the good&lt;br /&gt;old days of communism." To this, one ought to add ultra-&lt;br /&gt;Nationalism, anti-Magyarism, anti-Gypsyism, and frequently&lt;br /&gt;featured (albeit less proeminent) homophobia.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Tudor" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/tudor.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Mr. Arad has some explaining to do. So have his employers.&lt;br /&gt;Oh, I forget. One of his employers, the erstwhile Ariel Sharon,&lt;br /&gt;is currently and conveniently zombified. The other one of&lt;br /&gt;recent (herostratic) fame, Mr. Olmert is busy living up to his&lt;br /&gt;name. If you spoke Norwegian you might get the joke - here's&lt;br /&gt;a hint:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Fierce Creatures" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/olme.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not a particularly good joke, but suitably sickening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Getting back to Mr. Arad for a moment, there's more. He&lt;br /&gt;seems to have been a central consultant for Mr. Spielberg&lt;br /&gt;in his latest pro-terrorist venture in "humanizing" and&lt;br /&gt;sanitizing the mass murderers in "Munich".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's next, Kadima/Arad/Olmert?

Except for the use of police to steal Jewish property&lt;br /&gt;on behalf of the Arabs and the US administration. Oh, and&lt;br /&gt;the police is useful for throwing children in jail too. Can you&lt;br /&gt;say "hostage-takers", folks? I knew you could.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Kleptocrats in Motion" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/kadc.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The PA has just had its election, complete with the presence&lt;br /&gt;of antisemitic icon Jimmy Carter and the democratic victory&lt;br /&gt;of a global terrorist organization. No surprise there, of course.&lt;br /&gt;Democracy is on the march in the Middle East, just as it was&lt;br /&gt;in the 1930's Germany. Not only has the Palestinians declared&lt;br /&gt;their democratic support of genocide and terror, but in Iran&lt;br /&gt;they now have a bona fide democratically elected nutbag who&lt;br /&gt;thinks he has supernatural qualities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the Palestinians formally unmasking and showing the pig&lt;br /&gt;heads beneath, you might expect the west to take a fair bit of&lt;br /&gt;exception. Tzipi Livni said that terrorists must be prevented&lt;br /&gt;from taking control of the PA. Now that's funny. Funny peculiar,&lt;br /&gt;not funny haha. Especially seeing that her own Ehud Olmert,&lt;br /&gt;the usurper of the Israeli government, is arguably a coupmaker,&lt;br /&gt;a terrorist, an antisemite and a traitor. Good thinking, Tzippy.&lt;br /&gt;Let's keep the terrorists out. That deserves a pinhead award.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;img alt="Pinhead" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/new/r-olmert-1t.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again: Just brilliant, Zippy....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, I have questions for the Kadhimmis. Such as:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;How in God's name is it that Olmert is claiming to represent a government at all seeing that when the PM went permanently offline, there should have been immediate elections?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Is Olmert going to claim that Sharon is going to miraculously recover? That is what he's claiming, perhaps?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sharon is suffering (surprise, surprise) from a disease that causes dementia, among other things. How long has he suffered from this (which in some respects resembles Creutzfeldt-Jacob's if I'm understanding things right)? Surely, neither Olmert nor Israelis of sound mind believes this just flashed into the PM's brain at the moment of his stroke?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Where and how did Sharon contract this disease? Is it possible to be infected by unnatural means, like in connection with a meal?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Could we please see a criminal investigation into the PM's illness? Conducted by some party who has nothing to gain by Sharon's actions over the last months and his current condition?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-113864517387334846?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/113864517387334846'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/113864517387334846'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2006/01/party-of-undead.html' title='The Party of the Undead'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-113333377520778687</id><published>2005-11-30T07:19:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-11-30T08:59:29.043+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Ka-dhimmi!!!</title><content type='html'>There's an anonymous sheep out at Ariel Sharon's farm. It calls&lt;br /&gt;itself "slightly black" and it has agreed to furnish us with a secret.&lt;br /&gt;The secret is this: The incredible willingness of Mr. Sharon to go&lt;br /&gt;along with ths Saudi "roadmap" is a kind of "oil-for-food" program.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Sharon will provide the food, the Saudis will provide the oil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Together they will corner the world market for sheep-nuggets.&lt;br /&gt;They will be deep-fried in Saudi crude, and they'll be "halal", but&lt;br /&gt;certainly not "kosher".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Mr. Sharon succeeds in his new business venture without being&lt;br /&gt;indicted, linked to the mob or to strange influences in South Africa,&lt;br /&gt;says "Slightly Black", he may next approach the right honourable&lt;br /&gt;George Galloway. Besides being the pick of the rabble of Bethnal&lt;br /&gt;Green, Mr. Galloway possesses what Mr. Sharon lack: a party&lt;br /&gt;name with an internet domain. The Kadima name seems to be&lt;br /&gt;all used up, domain-wise, relegating the old wolf to domain-&lt;br /&gt;squatting if he wants a flashy outlet. And they all seem to have&lt;br /&gt;owners in the US too, so they can't even be administratively&lt;br /&gt;detained.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too bad. So sad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, if Mr. Sharon can just get into synch with Mr. Galloway,&lt;br /&gt;maybe they can share Galloway's creation, &lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RESPECT.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;After all, the Brits have a long history both in Jewish lands and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;with antisemitic policies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 460px; HEIGHT: 306px" height="373" alt="Baaaaaaah" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/sheep2.jpg" width="500" heigth="360" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our informant, "Slightly Black Sheep".

Specifically, the&lt;br /&gt;prize in recent years seems to be more of a "terror prize" than&lt;br /&gt;a "peace" prize. Not so surprizing really, seeing that old Alfred&lt;br /&gt;is imortalized in bomb-belts from the better tailors of "Palestine",&lt;br /&gt;a piece of land every Arab in the world lay claim to basically&lt;br /&gt;because someone else owns it. They claim it overlays Israel.&lt;br /&gt;Israel is of course unwelcome because it is full of Jews, and Arabs&lt;br /&gt;love and revere the memory of Hitler because of his genocidal&lt;br /&gt;policies towards Jews - policies that were honed with the help of&lt;br /&gt;Hitler's personal mufti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway. There's altogether too many terrorists, terrorist helpers&lt;br /&gt;and terrorist enablers of the prize list, and I'd suggest we rename&lt;br /&gt;this Swedish obscenity in accordance with the headline. It's&lt;br /&gt;probably impossible to get the "Peace Committee" kicked out of&lt;br /&gt;Norway, but at least let's call a spade a spade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El Baradei may not be the worst recipient of the prize in recent&lt;br /&gt;years, but lest you think he and the UN's IAEA are central to&lt;br /&gt;world peace, here's a couple of points to consider:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.debka.com/article.php?aid=1094"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2002, the United States, Britain and Israel strongly suspected&lt;br /&gt;the new Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Dr. Mohamed ElBaradai, of&lt;br /&gt;employing secret delaying tactics to help three Muslim nations get&lt;br /&gt;their nuclear weapons programs off the ground. The nations were&lt;br /&gt;Libya, Iran and Egypt.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Libya has since renounced its arms program, largely to get the&lt;br /&gt;US administration off its back - something that succeeded quite&lt;br /&gt;well.  It then turned around another 180 degrees, back to its&lt;br /&gt;old ways of persecution and torture of political enemies.  But by&lt;br /&gt;now, Ghaddafi counts as a feather in George W. Bush's hat and&lt;br /&gt;the US sanctions against Libya has been loosened.  Weapons&lt;br /&gt;supply is sure to follow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Egypt has basically admitted to nothing.  The countrys military&lt;br /&gt;ambitions are no secret, however.  Egypt is as focussed on WMD's&lt;br /&gt;and on war against the Jews as it ever was.  It is also armed to the&lt;br /&gt;teeth by the US, same as it ever was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iran is, of course, pursuing its nuclear capability with absolutely&lt;br /&gt;no regard for the UN, El Baradei or the IAEA - except as when&lt;br /&gt;the largely Arab influenced UN can work in its own favour.  I&lt;br /&gt;expect the UN to come up with something creative, like a "food&lt;br /&gt;for oil" program.  Saddam and the UN really had a good thing&lt;br /&gt;going, so why wouldn't Ahmadinejad also welcome such a golden&lt;br /&gt;opportunity for stocking up on golden AK-47's and other Jihad&lt;br /&gt;luxury items?  Maybe even a few golden nukes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, even Greenpeace is unimpressed with the IAEA's&lt;br /&gt;potential contribution to peace, observing that the IAEA probably&lt;br /&gt;has contributed more to nuclear capability being spread around&lt;br /&gt;the world (in civilian clothes)  than the opposite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All this handing out of the prize to parties central to Islamic&lt;br /&gt;terror has become a stench.  Who in their right mind would&lt;br /&gt;give Yasser Arafat a "peace prize"?  Or Jimmy Carter, the man&lt;br /&gt;who has the "honor" of singlehandedly installing Khomeini as&lt;br /&gt;ruler of Iran and turning that country into the entity most&lt;br /&gt;likely to cause a world nuclear conflagration?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/dynamite.jpg" alt="Dynamite.

One might even say they qualify for nothing&lt;br /&gt;else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Topping the list we find Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, the man&lt;br /&gt;who single-handedly chopped off more than 70% of Israel's food&lt;br /&gt;production and a large chunk of its aquifers and gave them to&lt;br /&gt;the people sworn to destroy the country (and incidentally, to&lt;br /&gt;finish the job of Hitler - of "blessed memory", as they call&lt;br /&gt;him - and eradicate the Jews).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sharon is now screaming that voting against him in the Knesset&lt;br /&gt;is the same thing as impeaching him. Would that it were, the&lt;br /&gt;man belongs in a prison cell. There is one thing that can&lt;br /&gt;redeem him and his cohorts, and that is showing all of us that&lt;br /&gt;the disengagement was just a way to get the Jews out of the way&lt;br /&gt;from a massive push.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While digging for worms in the Israeli soil, we cannot skip such&lt;br /&gt;wigglers as Mr. Olmert - the current "Finance Minister" and the&lt;br /&gt;man behind the "Juden" labeling of produce from areas of Israel&lt;br /&gt;that the left now has rendered into terrorist camps. This creature&lt;br /&gt;with his Jack-o-lantern grin and an all-consuming hatred of "The&lt;br /&gt;Settlers".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However - from what I've seen, there might be some question&lt;br /&gt;about who is Finance Minister. Lately I've also seen Shimon Peres,&lt;br /&gt;whose financial transactions are so sterling that they've even&lt;br /&gt;been scrutinized by his Norwegian Government donors, mentioned&lt;br /&gt;as finance minister. But no announcement anywhere. In fact, &lt;br /&gt;Olmert is also still listed as Finance Minister in some quarters. &lt;br /&gt;What's up with that, exactly?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, Netanyahu was still listed as Finance Minister last&lt;br /&gt;time I checked the Finance Ministry a few days ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But enough about Israel for the moment. While Sharon whimpers,&lt;br /&gt;screams and threatens comes the news that the US administration&lt;br /&gt;is head over heels in love with this person and really doesn't&lt;br /&gt;want to lose him. So they are determined to try and help him&lt;br /&gt;against the depredations of political enemies like Bibi&lt;br /&gt;Netanyahu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, the last time the US tried "help" like that was&lt;br /&gt;when they so wanted Barak - a puppet - in place that they went&lt;br /&gt;to extraordinary, even criminal, lengths to neutralize Netanyahu&lt;br /&gt;and meddle in another country's elections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Permit me to suggest for Ms. Rice, the most shoulderpadded&lt;br /&gt;SecState in American history, that she look into having James&lt;br /&gt;Carville - the Creature from the Black Lagoon - over to Israel&lt;br /&gt;to take these pesky Joos off at the knees. The Israeli communists&lt;br /&gt;are probably still whispering in awe about the last time, &lt;br /&gt;you know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, a mystery regarding the SecState has been solved:&lt;br /&gt;where does the antisemitism come from? Wonder no longer. A&lt;br /&gt;Presbyterian upbringing may be expected to take you right to&lt;br /&gt;the outer fringes of modern Judenhass and on into such&lt;br /&gt;bizarreness as divestment from Caterpillar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The US State Department is of course still mumbling about its&lt;br /&gt;"Road Map to Peace". What they forget to tell us is that the&lt;br /&gt;"Road Map" is an Arab product and has nothing to do with peace.&lt;br /&gt;Gaza has been turned into a terrorist stronghold, a weapons &lt;br /&gt;dump and a forward staging area for Al Quaeda in its fight &lt;br /&gt;against the west and for Egypt in a new attempt on Israel. &lt;br /&gt;I guess the work of Islamic proselytizing and screaming about &lt;br /&gt;Jews occupying land that the Arab suppliers of oil demands &lt;br /&gt;takes most of the resources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, the "Palestinians", being the peaceful creatures &lt;br /&gt;that they are, are preparing to pipe raw sewage so as the &lt;br /&gt;disrupt the work of the Ashkelon desalination plant. Being &lt;br /&gt;a credit to their US, Israel Left and EU/Nazi sponsors they &lt;br /&gt;have been endowed with the singular ability to use everything &lt;br /&gt;as a weapon. Their kids. Their excrement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "Road Map" has no roads. That should be obvious, even for&lt;br /&gt;Christians. It should also be obvious - especially for &lt;br /&gt;Christians - that it has nine rings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-112747297931441940?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/112747297931441940'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/112747297931441940'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2005/09/damned.html' title='The Damned'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-112489139926420463</id><published>2005-08-24T15:00:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2005-08-24T15:49:59.286+02:00</updated><title type='text'>The Curious Activity of the US State Department</title><content type='html'>There is an old Islamic site on the web.

The Norwegian merchant&lt;br /&gt;fleet was by far the largest naval freight resource on the&lt;br /&gt;allied side, and absorbed the heaviest losses.  After the&lt;br /&gt;war, allied politicians were flinging fawning phrases like&lt;br /&gt;"look to Norway" around like confetti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, behind the scenes were another reality.  If&lt;br /&gt;President Roosevelt had had his way, yours truly would&lt;br /&gt;have been born a Soviet citizen:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norway"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In 1944, the Germans evacuated the provinces of Finnmark and &lt;br /&gt;northern Troms, using a scorched earth tactic. The Red Army &lt;br /&gt;moved in shortly after, and peacefully returned the area to &lt;br /&gt;Norwegian control after the war, despite President Roosevelt &lt;br /&gt;having offered them parts of northern Norway. The Germans in &lt;br /&gt;Norway surrendered on 8 May 1945."&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amazing, isn't it?  Back in WWII, and the US up to basically&lt;br /&gt;the same tricks as today - attacking an ally, trying to give&lt;br /&gt;away the ally's land to some genocidal dictator.  Lucky for&lt;br /&gt;me that old Joe Stalin seems to have had a bit more decency&lt;br /&gt;than the average US president, Yasser Arafat and other Arab&lt;br /&gt;barbarians and the old fascisti and mobsters surrounding Mr.&lt;br /&gt;Sharon put together, I guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Sharon seems to be in full run towards dismantling his&lt;br /&gt;country on the altar of international crime, corrupt US-Arab&lt;br /&gt;liaisons and islamic Jew-hatred fine-honed since the days of&lt;br /&gt;Hitler's personal grand Mufti.  And the US presidency shows&lt;br /&gt;itself as more rabidly antisemitic with each new president.&lt;br /&gt;A good look at Ms. Rice is enough - catch her in an Islamist&lt;br /&gt;setting, and you see unbridled rabies staring out at you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only one thing can save Israel at this point.  Sharon and&lt;br /&gt;Peres must end up in jail - and they own the Israeli version&lt;br /&gt;of the Geheime Staatspolizei, the Shabak.  We can only hope&lt;br /&gt;that the IDF will step in and do its damn job - protect the&lt;br /&gt;Israeli people.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-112342845148511403?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/112342845148511403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/112342845148511403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2005/08/study-in-treachery-and-treason.html' title='A study in treachery and treason'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-112259285877735360</id><published>2005-07-29T00:27:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2005-07-29T01:28:19.766+02:00</updated><title type='text'>The Hoe Handlers</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I read a disturbing account of Ariel Sharon a while back.&lt;br /&gt;It seems he has a reputation as one who is fond of a hoe-&lt;br /&gt;handle, and fond of using same handle for smashing in the&lt;br /&gt;heads of his fellow Jews - particularly the non-communist&lt;br /&gt;ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/2696007e.jpg" alt="Smash"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Arutz:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=84755"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..out of it jumped a group of uniformed Haganah men, led by &lt;br /&gt;Ariel Sharon holding a hoe-handle. We knew him in the area &lt;br /&gt;as someone who always holds a hoe-handle to catch Etzel and &lt;br /&gt;Lechi people. They tried to break into the cafe, which was &lt;br /&gt;still closed because of the Sabbath. I came close to him, &lt;br /&gt;and he said, 'Give me some soda,' and pointed to a box of &lt;br /&gt;drinks on the ground. I bent down to the bottles, and then &lt;br /&gt;he picked up his arm and smashed me with all his might with &lt;br /&gt;the hoe-handle. My head was covered in blood, which dripped &lt;br /&gt;down all over me."&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Charming feller, ain't he?  All the charisma, bloodthirst&lt;br /&gt;and thieving initiative of a young Benito.  Same clever&lt;br /&gt;stout-stick-politics.  Wonder if the Jews will give him&lt;br /&gt;the same justice?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/mussolini.jpg" alt="The Thug"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever.  Today, he has no need to wield a stout hickory&lt;br /&gt;hoe thingy.  He has Condoleezza Rice, a hoe-handle with an&lt;br /&gt;antisemitic flair and gusto I had expected to see out of&lt;br /&gt;a Jerry Springer obscenity, not running loose wearing a&lt;br /&gt;Dubya Bush tag.  Or maybe Condi has the old general.  In&lt;br /&gt;the blood-fog around America's relationship with the Jewish&lt;br /&gt;state it furtively hates and just as furtively steals &lt;br /&gt;technology from, it's sometimes hard to see who is hoe &lt;br /&gt;and who is handle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As usual when it comes to Israel, things are complicated&lt;br /&gt;by a complex cast of mobsters, wannabe strongmen and &lt;br /&gt;communist Jewhaters churning around the Prime Minister.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Has anyone ever noticed how Shimon Perez, the traitorous &lt;br /&gt;old fart cum Obscure Casino Personality cum Arafat Chum &lt;br /&gt;always seemed to be Sharon's boss, even when formally an &lt;br /&gt;underling?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing is necessarily as it seems.

There are, one&lt;br /&gt;might say, Questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend Nix mentioned one of them today - where the&lt;br /&gt;heck does this "judge" come off evaluating videotaped&lt;br /&gt;evidence when he's legally blind as a bloodsucking&lt;br /&gt;bat and cannot even operate a vehicle?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So... let's see if we just can list a few pesky&lt;br /&gt;questions to der judge, hmmm? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;How did you evaluate videotaped evidence, given your legal blindness, yerronner?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How many variants of the Michael Schiavo story about Terri's collapse are there really? Personally I've seen four different ones: at the foot of the stairs face down, at the foot of the stairs face up (on her back), in the hall outside &lt;em&gt;her&lt;/em&gt; bedroom and in the bathroom having just vomited. Hmmmm....&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Is the bone scan, supposedly showing numerous injuries and broken bones, a normal picture of health under the Florida hospice system, or is that only normal where certain members of the Florida political and judicial elite are on the board?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why the inordinate haste to the oven, Mr. Greer? And why was Cyril Wecht, arguably the foremost forensic pathologist in the US, denied access to the autopsy? Would it have anything to do with Dr. Wecht being Jewish, and your friend Mr. Felos seemingly having a slightly bizarre view of the Jews?

Even by mouth. That goes way&lt;br /&gt;beyond withholding artificial life support and jumps&lt;br /&gt;straight into the realm of murder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In principle, it is no different from locking you, Mr.&lt;br /&gt;Knott, up with no food or water until you die. Or blowing&lt;br /&gt;your head off. Or letting Mr. Zarqawi having a go at your&lt;br /&gt;throat with sharp utensils. Or delivering you to some&lt;br /&gt;Mengele-clone with bright ideas of poisons and the creative&lt;br /&gt;use of heat and cold. Murder is murder. It is illegal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, one wonders - are you looking to be one of these guys&lt;br /&gt;in white coats helping creatures like Mr. Greer usher in&lt;br /&gt;the "brave new world"? Ready to pull the plug on people&lt;br /&gt;which the apparatchiks in the judiciary deem worth clearing&lt;br /&gt;off, is that it? And don't want any nasty interference&lt;br /&gt;from religious people or - Wen Jiabao forbid - a "theocracy"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just a small word of caution. People espousing murderous&lt;br /&gt;systems often find themselves on the receiving end of the&lt;br /&gt;very mob they thought would serve them, and which they&lt;br /&gt;sought to serve.

Either Terri is taken into protective&lt;br /&gt;custody and her life saved, or the US will have undergone&lt;br /&gt;a de facto coup d'etat by the judiciary branch. It will be &lt;br /&gt;a new state, where murder by judge and henchmen is legal &lt;br /&gt;and where the President is a helpless figurehead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeb and George W. Bush had better take note: at the&lt;br /&gt;moment, America is very rapidly forfeiting its long&lt;br /&gt;and hard-earned credibility when it comes to respect&lt;br /&gt;for life and human rights. This one is worse even than&lt;br /&gt;G.W. Bush letting his flunky Ms. Rice run around in the&lt;br /&gt;middle east trying to carve Israel up in chunks.

Old Europe.&lt;br /&gt;Old Euthanasia-land. Trying to wrest an American&lt;br /&gt;euthanasia-victim away from a maniacal legal system&lt;br /&gt;bent on homicide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time is of the essence. It may be too late.

The papers were&lt;br /&gt;rushed to the White House, where President Bush waited&lt;br /&gt;to sign them - having broken off his schedule to be&lt;br /&gt;able to deal with this on an emergency basis. There&lt;br /&gt;is an ambulance waiting to whisk Terri away from the&lt;br /&gt;hospice where people with drugs and guns are enforcing&lt;br /&gt;her judicially ordered murder, as soon as a federal&lt;br /&gt;judge can give the order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then what happens? The federal judge gets the&lt;br /&gt;case on his desk before dawn. And he looks at his&lt;br /&gt;watch, and he yawns, and he has breakfast and lunch&lt;br /&gt;and decides to have a look at this thing at three&lt;br /&gt;PM. That's almost twelve hours, folks. I can&lt;br /&gt;only surmise that he's one of these creatures put&lt;br /&gt;in place by Mr. Clinton, that über-Democrat with the&lt;br /&gt;talent for slick criminality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The swinishness in this case seems bottomless. And&lt;br /&gt;it is bringing out a very uncomfortable truth:&lt;br /&gt;There is less and less difference between USA 2005&lt;br /&gt;and Germany in the thirties. The euthanasia crowd&lt;br /&gt;is moving with great purpose in the US, just as they&lt;br /&gt;did in Germany, and just as they did in the US back&lt;br /&gt;before their plans were rudely obstructed by the&lt;br /&gt;unforeseen war with Herr Hitler. As in the German&lt;br /&gt;thirties, there's a large segment of the population&lt;br /&gt;supporting euthanasia (and also totalitarian policy&lt;br /&gt;a la National Socialism). There's an enchantment&lt;br /&gt;with racism and antisemitism, the wildly antisemitic&lt;br /&gt;religion of Islam being prpagandized by the US Dept.&lt;br /&gt;of State, on the State Department website, no less.&lt;br /&gt;And the whole odious mess is aided, abetted and to a&lt;br /&gt;great degree designed by the Democrats, who is no&lt;br /&gt;longer a political party. They cannot be thought of&lt;br /&gt;as a political party any more than Hamas, al Quaida,&lt;br /&gt;Erich Honnecker's Stasi, Germany's Bader Meinhof&lt;br /&gt;gang, or Vidkun Quisling's Nasjonal Samling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much has been made of the "government intrusion" in&lt;br /&gt;the Schiavo case. But the vicious and vulturelike&lt;br /&gt;figures circling over Terri's deathbed seem to have&lt;br /&gt;forgotten that the whole murderous process wouldn't&lt;br /&gt;be possible without active participation of the State.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judge Greer - who may or may not be legally a Judge&lt;br /&gt;(there seems to be some doubt about his mandatory oath&lt;br /&gt;of office), is not only slightly batty but legally&lt;br /&gt;blind as a bat and cannot drive a vehicle - even&lt;br /&gt;morphed briefly into a medical man in order to point&lt;br /&gt;the process of death in the right direction:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.tbo.com/news/MGBQ67CTI6E.html"&gt;George Greer, a Pasco-Pinellas circuit judge, ruled&lt;br /&gt;the tapes fail to prove Terri Schiavo's brain still&lt;br /&gt;works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;``She clearly does not consistently respond to her&lt;br /&gt;mother,'' the judge wrote in 2002 after hearing from&lt;br /&gt;five doctors with divided opinions. ``The court finds&lt;br /&gt;that based on the credible evidence, cognitive function&lt;br /&gt;would manifest itself in a constant response to stimuli."&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amazing, isn't it? Now here's Greer - with a background&lt;br /&gt;as a county commishioner (in parallel with one of the&lt;br /&gt;board members of the hospice tasked with extinguishing&lt;br /&gt;Terri Schiavo, btw) and as a lawyer into sleazy business&lt;br /&gt;dealings:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://tampaindymedia.org/bin/site/templates/default.asp?area_2=imc/open%20newswire/2005/Jan/34445.3671875.dat"&gt;"When he was a county commissioner George Greer met with&lt;br /&gt;the mayor and two commissioners from Largo, Florida to&lt;br /&gt;try to convince them to allow his clients to build more&lt;br /&gt;condominiums than codes allow on the golf course they owned.&lt;br /&gt;This was at a time when he was a county commissioner who&lt;br /&gt;acted on issues affecting Largo. In 1990 Greer was publicly&lt;br /&gt;criticized for being one of four commissioners who took a&lt;br /&gt;boondoggle trip to the Cayman Islands ostensibly to look at&lt;br /&gt;the water desalinization plants there."&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now he's an authority on cognitive function.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;American polls are said to still be showing a 60% plus&lt;br /&gt;count for letting Michael Schiavo and the state of&lt;br /&gt;Florida murder an innocent, as long as it happens in&lt;br /&gt;"privacy".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The vultures are mostly featherless now, naked and ugly&lt;br /&gt;and wrinkled and pinkish and red. The American public&lt;br /&gt;has learned to love the smell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's hope the good judge never falls into a reverie&lt;br /&gt;or a fudge - sorry, I mean a fugue (falling into fudge&lt;br /&gt;is for Bawney), lest it turns into a "reverie of bone".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Florida.

Or not so good, depending.  He&lt;br /&gt;certainly was a strange duck.  And most certainly&lt;br /&gt;he was a rather nasty human being.  According to&lt;br /&gt;his dorm-mates at university, he would greet kids&lt;br /&gt;trick-or-treating by appearing stark naked at the&lt;br /&gt;door and scarfing his housemates's food and wearing&lt;br /&gt;their clothes, all the time carefully noting their&lt;br /&gt;reactions.  I shouldn't even call him "duck", I&lt;br /&gt;guess, since one of his stunts is said to be the&lt;br /&gt;stomping to death of his girlfriend's pet duck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway.  One of his dorm-mates, in those good old&lt;br /&gt;days before Michael Schiavo got a bee in his bonnet&lt;br /&gt;that his wife Terri should really be dead after&lt;br /&gt;having collapsed mysteriously back in 1990, and&lt;br /&gt;before George Felos started getting "messages of&lt;br /&gt;power" from God, was the now so familiar judge&lt;br /&gt;Greer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yep.  The same Greer who recently issued an edict&lt;br /&gt;that even if Terri Schiavo should be able to eat&lt;br /&gt;normally, she would be denied food.  That is, active&lt;br /&gt;measures would be taken to kill her (starve her to&lt;br /&gt;death) quite beside any issue regarding withholding &lt;br /&gt;"artificial life support".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is, of course, very difficult to call something&lt;br /&gt;like this anything but premeditated murder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But murder the Florida legal system and Mr. Schiavo&lt;br /&gt;seems hell-bent on, and they seem in an awful hurry.&lt;br /&gt;You have to ask, why the hurry?  Not only to have&lt;br /&gt;Terri Schiavo killed, but to have the remains disposed&lt;br /&gt;of - by cremation - before any examination can take&lt;br /&gt;place?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I said, I got a scenario the other day.  From&lt;br /&gt;someone else's dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terri is by the phone.  She's furious, leaning forward&lt;br /&gt;towards her husband, screaming at him, her arms behind&lt;br /&gt;her.  And then, pow, just like that, a punch.  She falls &lt;br /&gt;backwards and hits her head, fairly high up.  Her jaw is &lt;br /&gt;dislocated or suffers some other kind of damage.  And &lt;br /&gt;today she's fully conscious but paralyzed and unable to &lt;br /&gt;speak.  Maybe some day, but probably not before ending &lt;br /&gt;up in the oven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just a dream, Michael.  Clairvoiants, remote-viewers,&lt;br /&gt;all that kind of stuff doesn't exist.  So this is just&lt;br /&gt;a "what if" exercise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Mr. Felos, what does he have to gain from the whole&lt;br /&gt;thing?  Apart from money, that is - a substantial chunk&lt;br /&gt;of the medical settlement awarded to the Schiavos and&lt;br /&gt;meant to go toward her rehabilitation and care.  Now,&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Felos might properly be called a strange duck his&lt;br /&gt;own self.  An activist for euthanasia, he's written a&lt;br /&gt;book.  I'll just put up a fairly telling quote here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Jewish people, long ago in their collective &lt;br /&gt;consciousness, agreed to play the role of the lamb whose &lt;br /&gt;slaughter was necessary to shock humanity into a new &lt;br /&gt;moral consciousness. Their sacrifice saved humanity at &lt;br /&gt;the brink of extinction and propelled us into a new age." &lt;br /&gt;(pg 240)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elsewhere he refers to the holocaust as "uplifting",&lt;br /&gt;claims that God has told him he's more powerful than&lt;br /&gt;he imagines, and fantasizes about bludgeoning his ex-&lt;br /&gt;wife to death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems to me that it's no coincidence that this person&lt;br /&gt;is in the euthanasia crowd.  What seems strange to me&lt;br /&gt;is, of course, that he's not kept in a padded room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wonder why life tends to dump so many turds together,&lt;br /&gt;with just a few degrees of separation.  Is there some&lt;br /&gt;physical force - a kind of magnetism of evil?  Or is&lt;br /&gt;it just an effect of what is in my native tongue (in&lt;br /&gt;particular among oldtime seal-hunters up in the ice)&lt;br /&gt;expressed as "Når faen drit, så drit han i donge" -&lt;br /&gt;when the devil craps, he craps in a heap?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did I say clairvoyants didn't exist?  Morrison seems&lt;br /&gt;to have had a remarkable vision.  If he actually&lt;br /&gt;foresaw what so many Americans would become, no&lt;br /&gt;wonder he broke.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#006666"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nitzana feels compelled to add further detail to the dream Cache has partially described.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It wasn't simply a dream in that sleep had come and a dream ensued afterwards. Before the *dream* there was a swift and sudden pain under the left ear from about the middle of the bottom of the chin, that was so intense I could not close my mouth for nearly an hour.&lt;br&gt;It was extremely painful and took every ounce of will in my possession to overcome the pain and finally close my mouth so that my teeth met.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was not a punch. It was an open backhand. It was so hard that I literally bounced backward and nearly blacked out. At first, I did not understand, but I had been trying to reach Terri using certain gifts that I have long possessed. This had started at least a week before the *punch* episode Cache is referring to.&lt;br&gt;I had prepared the best I could. Having gone through this kind of thing before, one tries to set protections in place because it takes a horrendous amount of concentration and energy and is often mentally and emotionally draining. I never do this lightly, but with great purpose.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The intent was to let her know I was there to help her and to elicit enough trust from her to learn the truth; find Terri's injuries and TEACH her where to go within her own mind to heal herself.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I felt I was ready, I sought her. Furthermore, I found her. I had expected to feel fear from her, but even before she detected my presence, I encountered a wall of absolute hatred and rage that blew me right away. I had to back off because it was so overwhelming it shocked me.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She KNOWS what has been going on, but her rage had stopped her from progressing. She could not get past it. It was in control to the point where all of the other mechanisms she could have used were overshadowed and the rage became the protective mechanism to prevent the pain. She was losing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After I shook off the initial onslaught, I went back. I moved more carefully and quietly without confronting her and touched her lightly. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Terri, I am here to help you. I am your friend. Please help me to help you."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Were I to tell you everything, you would think I am crazy, but I am to the point where it doesn't matter anymore. I am what I am. So I will simply finish the *punch.*&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THIS from Terri:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She tells me she is drugged.&lt;br /&gt;Michael Schiavo is a very cruel man, a sociopath who can drip with honey while hiding the darkest evil inside. He had been unfaithful before but had always managed to make it seem that it was somehow Terri's fault. She was too fat. She was too thin. She wasn't exciting. She wasn't good enough. HE needed something more than she could offer.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She fell into depression. She tried not to be fat. She tried to be the beautiful woman Michael said he needed to make him happy. Terri's self esteem was her weakest vulnerability since childhood and he played it for all it was worth...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It worked too well. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terri, being the daughter of a devout Catholic mother was torn inside and torn outside. There seemed to be no way out until the day Michael went too far. His cruelty that day was more than she could bear. After all she had put herself through to become the perfect woman Michael said he wanted, Terri was informed that Michael was cheating on her yet again.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pain and rage welled up in Terri to the point she decided to face him down no matter what. She felt sick and dizzy with anger. Her breath was short, but she yelled at him. She planted her feet and faced him with her fists clenched, her arms rigid behind her, and bent her body slightly forward so she was looking him directly in the face. It was not the Terri Michael could so easily control so he smacked her with an open backhand just under her jaw. She flew backwards and hit something...a cabinet, a table, something solid that had a curved top without a sharp edge. She bounced forward and her head hit that curved top. The way she fell, her head was bent forward and when she bounced off the solid thing she hit, her head hit the curve almost near the back of her head on the left side, approximately 2 inches above her ear. It is a softspot. Easily damaged.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can still feel that pain whenever I touch that spot on my own head just slightly. Believe me, it is there. If I push on it, I can feel where all the nerves reach down into the top of my nose, the right side of the boney ridge above my eye, the bone along the bottom of my eye. It also reaches into my jaw and below my left ear as though it had been dislocated, but not broken and not treated because it seemed to fit with the story Michael told and was simply overlooked since there was no sign of visible injury. It affects the top of my nose somehow so that it makes me sneeze.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have taken Terri on walks THROUGH the 23rd Psalm. Sometimes I have to pull her along, and sometimes I just watch her with her face upturned to the sun. She stands with her eyes closed, the sun on her face and smiles. I have walked with her in shallow water so she could feel the water on her flesh, splashed water on her arms and face so she could feel the coolness and the wetness and told her G-d is with us.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When reciting the Prayer, it is always OUR Shepherd, We shall not want. He maketh US to lie down in green pastures. He restoreth OUR souls..etc.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we get to the part about preparing a table before us in the presence of our enemies, there appears all manner of puddings and ice creams. Terri tastes with her finger, and when she gets to chocolate ice cream, she is delighted as a child. She dips her finger in and repeats this until the ice cream is gone.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hold her hands and gently rub her arms with my fingertips. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes. Much more than dreams.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I have taken on at least the partial symptoms of her injuries and felt the pain, and now that I know exactly where concentration needs to be, as I have worked to heal myself, I have worked in the same way to show Terri the places in her own brain she must tap for the resources to make herself better including over-riding whatever drugs they have zombied her down with.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is not the shadow of a doubt in my mind that she understands and is doing all she can within herself to force the healing process though there is much to overcome.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PLEASE do not this this lady be murdered, because MURDER it surely is.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pleading has no effect on the corrupt or the corrupted. Someone has to get her out of these peoples' hands ASAP!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-111123284416330847?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/111123284416330847'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/111123284416330847'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2005/03/birds-of-feather.html' title='Birds of a Feather'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-111092713977802451</id><published>2005-03-15T23:24:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-03-15T23:52:19.780+01:00</updated><title type='text'>A Curious Judgement</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The day of Terri Schiavo's premeditated murder, at the&lt;br /&gt;hands of her husband Michael, the euthanasia advocate&lt;br /&gt;Felos, and judge (really?) Greer is drawing nigh.  We'll&lt;br /&gt;have to see, I guess, what can be done to thwart this&lt;br /&gt;evil process driven by the Florida legal system - which&lt;br /&gt;seems to have business interests in a hospice turned&lt;br /&gt;killing machine, and a lawyer who writes about inflicting&lt;br /&gt;death with something looking queasily like fetishism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One wonders why, exactly, Florida is unable to shut down&lt;br /&gt;the hospice of Suncoast Florida when the institution&lt;br /&gt;appears to owe the feds around 15 million dollars which&lt;br /&gt;it got its mitts on by claiming that patients were&lt;br /&gt;terminal when they weren't.  Those non-terminal terminal&lt;br /&gt;patients - what happened to them eventually?  Did they&lt;br /&gt;survive their brush with Suncoast, where the strange Mr.&lt;br /&gt;Felos served on the board of directors?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the good judge, Mr. Greer - he recently judged that&lt;br /&gt;no one is to try and feed Terri by mouth.  Yes, you heard&lt;br /&gt;right.  If anyone tries to give Terri a piece of donut,&lt;br /&gt;and she's able to eat it, presumably Florida law enforcement&lt;br /&gt;or some hospice angel of death or a representative of the&lt;br /&gt;mob will be on hand to deliver a firm smack on the hand.&lt;br /&gt;One wonders exactly how far the "judge" is prepared to&lt;br /&gt;go: if Terri's father insists on giving his daughter some&lt;br /&gt;scrap of food, will he personally be willing to shoot&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Schindler?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm glad I'm not a judge.  I'm afraid I'd have the trio&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Greer, Mr. Schiavo and Mr. Felos flung in jail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just a shortie term.  Six months, tops.  No biggie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I'd let them share a cell.  And I wouldn't feed them.&lt;br /&gt;And I'd let them take just a couple of personal items each.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A knife and a fork.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-111092713977802451?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/111092713977802451'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/111092713977802451'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2005/03/curious-judgement.html' title='A Curious Judgement'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-111071307110164770</id><published>2005-03-13T12:21:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-03-13T12:24:31.103+01:00</updated><title type='text'>TERRI'S FIGHT</title><content type='html'>&lt;center&gt;&lt;FONT COLOR="#33FFFF"&gt;&lt;B&gt;ANYONE WHO CARES ABOUT TERRI SCHIAVO, PLEASE CLICK THE PIC!&lt;BR&gt;THANK YOU!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;FONT COLOR="#33FFFF"&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;a href="http://downandirty.blogspot.com/2005/03/case-of-terri-schiavo.html"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v76/NixTwo/Terri/UltimateQuestion.jpg"&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LINK!!!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HOT LINK&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-111071307110164770?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/111071307110164770'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/111071307110164770'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2005/03/terris-fight.html' title='&lt;FONT COLOR=&quot;#33FFFF&quot;&gt;&lt;B&gt;TERRI&apos;S FIGHT&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/B&gt;'/><author><name>After Midnight</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dCY44cNtLko/TIOaIHBH53I/AAAAAAAAABE/XB3OE6-LgRs/S220/WinterPatchDark.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-110916533501115841</id><published>2005-02-23T14:25:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-02-23T14:37:16.123+01:00</updated><title type='text'>ANYONE WHO CARES ABOUT OUR TROOPS!</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;You have GOT to visit this wretched place and let them have it...BIG TIME!!!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.forsakethetroops.info"&gt;&lt;font color="#9999ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;FORSAKE THE TROOPS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-110916533501115841?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/110916533501115841'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/110916533501115841'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2005/02/anyone-who-cares-about-our-troops.html' title='ANYONE WHO CARES ABOUT OUR TROOPS!&lt;p&gt;'/><author><name>After Midnight</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dCY44cNtLko/TIOaIHBH53I/AAAAAAAAABE/XB3OE6-LgRs/S220/WinterPatchDark.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-110359618930775045</id><published>2004-12-21T02:39:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-01-03T01:58:38.023+01:00</updated><title type='text'>The Donation Season</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This year there seems to be an extraordinary amount&lt;br /&gt;of people in dire need of my money, with the victims&lt;br /&gt;of the Sumatra earthquake among the first.  As always,&lt;br /&gt;the catastrophe has also brought out - in force - the&lt;br /&gt;rabid America-haters, the Bushophobes, the Antisemites&lt;br /&gt;and Israel-bashers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jan Egeland, the erstwhile UN mouthpiece for when sh*t&lt;br /&gt;hits the fan, has been claiming that the US has met the&lt;br /&gt;calamity with "stingyness".  Of course, the fact that&lt;br /&gt;the US carries more than 60% of the world's total food&lt;br /&gt;aid isn't mentioned, nor the fact that private US&lt;br /&gt;donations to charity exceeds $34 billion a year.  The &lt;br /&gt;UN thinks that while it's a good thing that the US and&lt;br /&gt;Australia is doing the practical work in and around&lt;br /&gt;Aceh, it would be much better for all concerned if&lt;br /&gt;they would don UN uniforms while doing it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would no doubt be a bit better for the UN, who are&lt;br /&gt;probably feeling a bit stigmatized by the "bluehelmets"&lt;br /&gt;common association with sexual predation, corruption,&lt;br /&gt;and unsavoury links to genocide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the UN, even in this horrendous tragedy, is unable&lt;br /&gt;to hide its real pedigree: that of an antisemitic&lt;br /&gt;freakshow.  Mr. Egeland is calling the US military&lt;br /&gt;infrastructure resources worth "their weight in gold"&lt;br /&gt;in the context of helping.  Of course, he is carefully&lt;br /&gt;not mentioning Sri Lanka's telling Israel to keep their&lt;br /&gt;uniformed helpers the heck out of the country.  "Please&lt;br /&gt;send us as much medicines and blankets as you can get&lt;br /&gt;here, but keep your filthy Joos to yourself!"  Yeah,&lt;br /&gt;that's the ticket.  And Mr. Egeland bows and scrapes&lt;br /&gt;at the Islamic cues, and spits and cringes at the hand&lt;br /&gt;that feeds him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not going to say anything more about the earthquake&lt;br /&gt;tragedy, except that I don't think it's finished by a&lt;br /&gt;long shot.  Not the earthquakes, not the illnesses, and&lt;br /&gt;not the several hundred thousand landmines set afloat&lt;br /&gt;in the region.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On top of this thing screaming for money, there's the&lt;br /&gt;"premier conservative chatboard" yelling for another&lt;br /&gt;60 - 70 quarterly grand plus "tribute".  I have a&lt;br /&gt;question that may seem nasty.  But it seems quite&lt;br /&gt;relevant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Free Republic (regular readers will know the place well)&lt;br /&gt;has a subsection called "VetsCor" which is supposed to&lt;br /&gt;focus on "Constitutional Restoration". Vetscor has a&lt;br /&gt;board of directors, the composition of which is readily&lt;br /&gt;found on the web.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, what I would dearly like to know is the exact&lt;br /&gt;relationship between Vetscor and Free Republic. Others,&lt;br /&gt;such as Evangelical Christian donors, may like to know&lt;br /&gt;too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why? Well, the question presents itself rather force-&lt;br /&gt;fully when we look at this set of addresses:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;63.171.238.200 &lt;a href="http://www.vetscor.org"&gt;www.vetscor.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;63.171.238.200 &lt;a href="http://www.normajeanalmodovar.com"&gt;www.normajeanalmodovar.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;63.171.238.200 &lt;a href="http://www.new-enterprises.net"&gt;www.new-enterprises.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;63.171.238.200 &lt;a href="http://www.portraitsoffreedom.org"&gt;www.portraitsoffreedom.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;63.171.238.200 &lt;a href="http://www.freedomusa.org"&gt;www.freedomusa.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As anyone will see, these are the same machine. But&lt;br /&gt;some of these domains seem to be connected to the sex&lt;br /&gt;trade rather than conservative chat board activity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, the freedomusa link features a series of&lt;br /&gt;interesting subsections, such as Coyote LA. From what&lt;br /&gt;I've been able to gather, "coyote" in this context stands&lt;br /&gt;for "Call Off Your Tired Ethics". The first thing it blares&lt;br /&gt;is : "Featured in The Complete Idiot's Guide to Sex&lt;br /&gt;on the Net" -- "For mature audiences only". Boy oh boy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, for contrast, have a gander at the very same url, but&lt;br /&gt;with a guiding html:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freedomusa.org/main.html"&gt;http://www.freedomusa.org/main.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looks a bit different, doesn't it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking at the Vetscor.org url is even more different.&lt;br /&gt;Offerings of free CD's for active personnel - you just have&lt;br /&gt;to give an address to mail it to. And the ever-present&lt;br /&gt;"grassroots organization" logo and begging bowl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I'm curious. Bloody. Does the "Freepathoniacs" know&lt;br /&gt;what they may be contributing to?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-110359618930775045?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/110359618930775045'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/110359618930775045'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/12/donation-season.html' title='The Donation Season'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-109538426513742396</id><published>2004-09-17T01:39:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-09-17T03:28:44.166+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Campaign Lurch</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lurch seems to be cursed. The moment you think he&lt;br /&gt;couldn't look worse, some contender for the champion&lt;br /&gt;Village Idiot suicide belt pops out of his campaign&lt;br /&gt;woodwork. Of course, chances are that they're all&lt;br /&gt;brighter than him, which may explain why he's not really&lt;br /&gt;saying much of anything. When he does, it's usually stuff&lt;br /&gt;like "It's all a pack of lies", "Rightwingers are buying&lt;br /&gt;"Unfit for Command" in bulk to pad the sales numbers",&lt;br /&gt;and strange ideas like a &lt;a href="http://www.washtimes.com/op-ed/20040909-083003-9529r.htm"&gt;"Department of Wellness".&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Funny thing, the first association that comes into my head&lt;br /&gt;when seeing "wellness" spouted by Lurch is that he should&lt;br /&gt;avoid the theme like the plague, before anyone mentions&lt;br /&gt;Mental Wellness. The second is Dr. Kellogg in "The Road&lt;br /&gt;to Wellville" expounding on a healthy stool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bizarreness abounds, and the most bizarre turn yet is the&lt;br /&gt;dip into criminality connected to the Kerry campaign. Now&lt;br /&gt;there is the apparent forgeries used by Dan Rather to try&lt;br /&gt;and smear Preident Bush with not having done his duty in&lt;br /&gt;the Texas Air National Guard. Now, of course forging&lt;br /&gt;military documents is a felony. To forge military documents&lt;br /&gt;in order to rig the election of a president is .. what?&lt;br /&gt;Treason?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, there's no proof that this is on the behest of&lt;br /&gt;the Kerry campaign, at least not yet. But consider this:&lt;br /&gt;a short time ago, a person connected to the Kerry campaign&lt;br /&gt;tried another fraud. When Ben Barnes's daughter was to&lt;br /&gt;appear on the Sean Hannity show, her father's press&lt;br /&gt;secretary tried to cancel the appearance claiming to&lt;br /&gt;act on her behalf:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/9/11/135924.shtml"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"[Hinton] called our studio saying she was a friend&lt;br /&gt;of Amy's," the talk host revealed during Friday's&lt;br /&gt;broadcast. "She canceled the interview on your behalf,"&lt;br /&gt;he told Ms. Barnes, who appeared despite the attempted&lt;br /&gt;cancellation.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, another forgery. Or at least it would be if Ms. Hinton&lt;br /&gt;had made it in writing. Anyone see a pattern emerging here?&lt;br /&gt;And Lurch carrying a typewriter and a film camera to Viet&lt;br /&gt;Nam, does that fit the pattern?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As expected, the blogosphere has given the fraudsters what&lt;br /&gt;they deserve. Sterling work all around by Powerline, LGF&lt;br /&gt;and others. Color me impressed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people claiming credit seem to be afraid of a blog&lt;br /&gt;association, though. This is from Free Republic, the chat&lt;br /&gt;board that claims to have spotted the document fishyness&lt;br /&gt;first:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1215168/posts?page=9#9"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freepers should insist that the term "forum" be used&lt;br /&gt;rather than "blog" whenever such sites as FR are&lt;br /&gt;mentioned in the news. The latter has a crude,&lt;br /&gt;unsophisticated connotation that can, and is already&lt;br /&gt;being used by the left to undermine the credibility&lt;br /&gt;of sites like FreeRepublic.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, well... what can I say. Anyway, freeper Bob J,&lt;br /&gt;interviewed by Paula Zahn on CNN, proceeded to do just&lt;br /&gt;that. I got to see the program because Bob J was so&lt;br /&gt;thoughtful as to copy it, repackage it with the&lt;br /&gt;Rightalk label, and make it available as announced here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1215821/posts?page=446#446"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diotima and I just got back after negotiating the&lt;br /&gt;LA traffic. Being on CNN was a cool experience!&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to all the FReepers on the "prep" thread,&lt;br /&gt;I made copious notes but unfortunately only got&lt;br /&gt;in two comments, but as Dio says, we were able to&lt;br /&gt;slip in the "money shot"...heheh. For those expecting&lt;br /&gt;pajamas, I was tempted to wear my Garfield slippers,&lt;br /&gt;but would never do anything to make FR or the FRN&lt;br /&gt;look unprofessional while representing it. I did take&lt;br /&gt;my "I believe the Swifties" button but slipped it in&lt;br /&gt;my pocket before the broadcast as they usually ask you&lt;br /&gt;to remove items of that sort (They made me take off my&lt;br /&gt;FreeRepublic.com ballcap before a CBS "Rally for America"&lt;br /&gt;interview last year) prior to going on camera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, Agitator, my fearless "RIGHTALK.com" partner&lt;br /&gt;captured the segment and you can view it here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I grabbed a couple of captures, and it does indeed&lt;br /&gt;make FR and FRN look highly professional. I'd rather&lt;br /&gt;not name the profession, though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/bobcap2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/bobcap1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good stuff.

Did I say imbecile?&lt;br /&gt;Add criminal. And add the ACLU to the criminal bunch, seeing&lt;br /&gt;that they accept the federal government flogging this travesty&lt;br /&gt;of a "religion" to their American subjects while they're busy&lt;br /&gt;ripping down every cross in sight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, the turbaned and/or brownshirted dwellers of the&lt;br /&gt;US State Department can always be relied upon to come up&lt;br /&gt;with press releases that resonates ringingly on Stormfront,&lt;br /&gt;and they probably have their fans in certain segments of the&lt;br /&gt;Israeli version of the Geheime Staatspolizei, Shabak. Avi&lt;br /&gt;"Herr Flick" Dichther, for example, would probably find&lt;br /&gt;little reason to disagree with the swamp's unstinting&lt;br /&gt;attempts to drive the Jews into the sea, into Arab shrapnel,&lt;br /&gt;or at least into detention facilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it's about time that the President of the US curtail&lt;br /&gt;the activity of these slimeballs, before they help usher&lt;br /&gt;in another era of Democrats in the White House. I don't&lt;br /&gt;think Americans - even those on Stormfront - would have&lt;br /&gt;a very comfortable time with Teh-ray-za the Mad and Lurch&lt;br /&gt;at the helm. And they would probably never get a chance&lt;br /&gt;to vote them out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would be good if the President would fire Boucher. Come&lt;br /&gt;to think of it, it would be good if he would fire the entire&lt;br /&gt;swamp and start over. Getting rid of Colin Powell would do a&lt;br /&gt;world of good to soothe voters who have decided to give Bush&lt;br /&gt;a big skip-and-jump this year, and getting rid of the other&lt;br /&gt;odious swamp flotsam like Boucher can only help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/powell2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Friends....

I was thinking that the "winged" quotes column &lt;br /&gt;would be manageable, but on the very first pass over &lt;br /&gt;the forum "FreeRepublic" my hopes in that respect &lt;br /&gt;were thoroughly dashed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is just a small sampling. And they aren't all winged. &lt;br /&gt;Some are just sad, or disturbing, or appalling. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next up will be ... another forum. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Weird and wonderful: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just because you don't like us here doesn't mean you'll &lt;br /&gt;be run off, as long as you make a sincere effort to debate &lt;br /&gt;and conversate. &lt;br /&gt;-- LincolnLover (Conversator) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need to meet my wife and daughters. They are &lt;br /&gt;strong women I have trained to be that way. &lt;br /&gt;-- B4Ranch (Womantrainer) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Supporting amendments to the Constitution is tantamount &lt;br /&gt;to &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; supporting it. &lt;br /&gt;-- Bob J (Businessperson/Pizzast) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On the Jews&lt;/strong&gt; : &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...What was condemnable in the Jews was not that they &lt;br /&gt;asserted the divinity of their law, for that they did &lt;br /&gt;with substantial sincerity and truth. Their crime is to &lt;br /&gt;have denied the equal prerogative of other nations' laws &lt;br /&gt;and deities, for this they did, not from critical insight &lt;br /&gt;or intellectual scruples, but out of pure bigotry, conceit, &lt;br /&gt;and stupidity. They did not want other nations to have a &lt;br /&gt;god. &lt;br /&gt;-- SwimmingUpstream (Philosopher) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the 1930s, a preponderance of American traitors &lt;br /&gt;have been jews. &lt;br /&gt;--Cynicom (Preponderast) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The US has gone to the wall for Israel again and again - &lt;br /&gt;only to be repaid with US technology confronting us in &lt;br /&gt;the hardware of the PRC. The US has been extremely &lt;br /&gt;tolerant of Israel's excesses, understanding the extreme &lt;br /&gt;circumstances in which Israel finds itself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Attitudes like yours strain that forbearance to its breaking &lt;br /&gt;point. &lt;br /&gt;--Wideawake (Eyes wide shut) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only act I respect Bubba for was his double crossing &lt;br /&gt;of Bibi on this matter. &lt;br /&gt;--Wheezer (Grab hold, suck air) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel's been bleeding my paycheck for years - why not &lt;br /&gt;my family? &lt;br /&gt;-- Wideawake (Still bleeding) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think you are pretty well self-describing your fellow Jews &lt;br /&gt;who are all for ethnic cleansing in Palestine-a nation of &lt;br /&gt;people who are for the most part unarmed and defenseless &lt;br /&gt;against a modern occupying military power such as Israel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After they finish off the Palestinians they will likely &lt;br /&gt;get to Harlem next, and when they get brave enough to take &lt;br /&gt;the hoods off there will likely be a dinky little skull cap &lt;br /&gt;underneath. &lt;br /&gt;--StopTheDonkey (Disturbed) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pollard never told who else was there working with him. &lt;br /&gt;He is lucky USA is not like Israel otherwise he would be &lt;br /&gt;tortured for the information. &lt;br /&gt;--luvzhottea (Traditional Conservatism) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, he wasn't, but in case he was, it's time to free Pollard &lt;br /&gt;and... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Peel him. &lt;br /&gt;2. Quarter him. &lt;br /&gt;3. Leave him in the sun to become part of the trail mix. &lt;br /&gt;--Harrowup (Admiral/Straitjacket Testperson) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every time a column is published calling for Pollard's &lt;br /&gt;release, we should comply and release a sizeable chunk &lt;br /&gt;of his body. &lt;br /&gt;-- Dog Gone (Got Kibbles?) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish I could shoot Pollard. I don't know exactly how I &lt;br /&gt;would do it. Sometimes a head shot is best. If you do it &lt;br /&gt;right, the dead body goes into a dramatic rapid quiver, &lt;br /&gt;kind of shaking all over the place. Maybe in the lungs. &lt;br /&gt;With a lung shot, you get this frothy blood filled with &lt;br /&gt;air coming out of the wound. A spine shot from a distant &lt;br /&gt;is very satisfying. The target loses all movement in its &lt;br /&gt;lower body and just drags along for awhile. A gut shot is &lt;br /&gt;not very satisfying. The sound of the bullet entry is muted &lt;br /&gt;and not near as dramatic as the sound of the bullet crashing &lt;br /&gt;through bone. Gut shots can be very smelly and the victim &lt;br /&gt;just kind of bleeds to death. They can be messy too depending &lt;br /&gt;on the last meal. After giving it some thought, maybe a knife &lt;br /&gt;would be better. The sound of Pollard wheezing for breath as &lt;br /&gt;the blood flows out of his throat artery would be compelling. &lt;br /&gt;-- Lock &amp; Load (Disturbed II)&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Comment: Lock &amp; Load kept going for a year or so after&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;this post, getting worse, before finally disappearing off&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;the board.&amp;nbsp; All the others are current.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Diplomatic Relations&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the Free Republic Network and the 55 chapters &lt;br /&gt;it represents, I sent an email to PW asking if they wanted &lt;br /&gt;to partner with us (and other groups) this September 11th &lt;br /&gt;on our National March Against Terror. I didn't get a response. &lt;br /&gt;-- Bob J (Frank Burns mode) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;BTW Falcon, I am not trying to be negative about this, only &lt;br /&gt;realistic.

He's been caught&lt;br /&gt;with his hand in the cookie jar.  Ironically, so&lt;br /&gt;has the website "Free Republic".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From "The American Spectator" comes this little&lt;br /&gt;gem:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=6863"&gt;I realize that the "Editorial business" &lt;br /&gt;department isn't where this matter will &lt;br /&gt;be dealt with, but trust you'll pass in &lt;br /&gt;along if appropriate. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I enjoy your website and don't like seeing &lt;br /&gt;your material stolen and doubt TAS does either, &lt;br /&gt;so I thought you might like to know that TAS-&lt;br /&gt;copyrighted material is being routinely &lt;br /&gt;republished in full without permission at &lt;br /&gt;FreeRepublic.com. An article entitled "Sloppy &lt;br /&gt;Berger" is the most recent example.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Donna Gruber &lt;br /&gt;Miami Shores, Florida&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, some inquisitive "freeper" (the&lt;br /&gt;generic name for an inhabitant of the website&lt;br /&gt;"Free Republic"), perhaps on a scavenging trip,&lt;br /&gt;found it.  And posted it on Free Republic, &lt;a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1176068/posts"&gt;here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What comes next is predictable.  Some are calling&lt;br /&gt;Jim Robinson, "The Man", who duly comes around and&lt;br /&gt;makes sneering noises.  Some are trying to track&lt;br /&gt;down the miscreant from Florida by means of search&lt;br /&gt;tools.  Information about email-address and website &lt;br /&gt;is published, some of it obviously wrong. Some &lt;br /&gt;silly ideas about hurting this person's livelyhood &lt;br /&gt;are aired (the freepers think she's a seller on eBay).  &lt;br /&gt;One posts a nasty picture adorned with the name of &lt;br /&gt;this new enemy of the state of freep.  The thread &lt;br /&gt;dies in a sulk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, this isn't unusual or the first time&lt;br /&gt;the "freepers" go a bit haywire.  For example,&lt;br /&gt;there was that occasion when an underage Jenna&lt;br /&gt;Bush was stopped from buying drinks by some uppity&lt;br /&gt;bar manager.  That time, personal information on&lt;br /&gt;both the unlucky bar manager and her small child&lt;br /&gt;was posted.  And the site was fairly boiling&lt;br /&gt;with suggestions for what punishment ought to&lt;br /&gt;befall the restaurant daring to enforce the law.&lt;br /&gt;If I remember, arson and acid were two of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the place was always sort of balancing on the&lt;br /&gt;edge of something rather nasty.  The redeeming&lt;br /&gt;feature was that apart from the hoodlum pablum,&lt;br /&gt;there were some very bright people who kept it a&lt;br /&gt;bit in balance.  Sadly, most of the folks with an&lt;br /&gt;IQ over 90 are gone. Some just drifted away to &lt;br /&gt;other places. Some were banned when criticizing&lt;br /&gt;the forum's stubborn backing of a cadre of anti-&lt;br /&gt;semites (some of whom has been active from 1998-99&lt;br /&gt;until present time).  Some were banned for backing&lt;br /&gt;GW Bush at a time when Mr. Robinson felt otherwise,&lt;br /&gt;if what I've been told is true.  Some probably got&lt;br /&gt;fed up being involved in a bona fide internet&lt;br /&gt;cult.  It tends to be expensive in many ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now the political activism on the site - which&lt;br /&gt;at one time actually played an important role in a&lt;br /&gt;presidential election - is at an ebb, and sometimes&lt;br /&gt;ludicrous.  Much of it seems to revolve around&lt;br /&gt;begging for money ($50.000-60.000 per quarter to&lt;br /&gt;keep the site lights on, which doesn't always&lt;br /&gt;succeed) on Free Republic proper.  And there is&lt;br /&gt;the "Free Republic Network", run by someone whose&lt;br /&gt;idea of political activism is appearing in public&lt;br /&gt;with a dildo attached to his nose.  No, I'm not&lt;br /&gt;joking.  I have the pictures to prove it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And of course, when offered a chance to step on to&lt;br /&gt;the coattails of an organization, the ProtestWarriors, &lt;br /&gt;which is currently garnering a great deal of goodwill &lt;br /&gt;and even admiration in conservative circles, he &lt;br /&gt;queered it.  Read and weep:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1152686/posts?page=22#22"&gt;The PW are a great group and do wonderful work, &lt;br /&gt;but let's admit it, they are mostly young college &lt;br /&gt;kids with no assets (like a home) to protect. Most &lt;br /&gt;FR members simply cannot afford to put themselves &lt;br /&gt;and their families in that kind of situation.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, Bob, you &lt;i&gt;could&lt;/i&gt; give them costume advice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On second thought, maybe not.  They might laugh &lt;br /&gt;at you.  And ponder the liabilities of following &lt;br /&gt;a guy with a dildo on his nose into some place &lt;br /&gt;with families and kids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-109049492564804390?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/109049492564804390'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/109049492564804390'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/07/hotpants-and-facedildos.html' title='Hotpants and Facedildos'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-109025427829589863</id><published>2004-07-19T17:33:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-07-19T18:25:15.550+02:00</updated><title type='text'>PUPPETMASTERS</title><content type='html'>&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/v76/NixTwo/Blog%20Pics/master.jpg" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00ffcc;"&gt;Terje Roed Larsen, Kerry impersonator.&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many puppetmasters.

The place is &lt;br /&gt;getting a bit of fame for two things: art and &lt;br /&gt;antisemitism. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a picture of New Zealand's national bird: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img47.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/kiwi.jpg" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's another New Zealand bird:&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;img height="248" src="http://img47.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/b024f59a.jpg" /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The one on top &lt;em&gt;looks&lt;/em&gt; silly.&amp;nbsp; But is probably smarter &lt;br /&gt;than the bottom one. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shazam!! Meet the Rt. Honorable Helen Clark, prime &lt;br /&gt;minister of New Zealand (and queen of silly birds?). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clark has had her hands full lately, what with the &lt;br /&gt;country being overrun by Mossad agents in pursuit of &lt;br /&gt;kiwian passports. Uriel Zoshe Kelman and Eli Cara may &lt;br /&gt;not be from Mossad - it is more probable that they are &lt;br /&gt;garden variety criminals - but that doesn't keep the &lt;br /&gt;PM from hotly demanding an official apology from Israel. &lt;br /&gt;And of course, on the heels of the official outrage with &lt;br /&gt;the pesky Israelis, &lt;a href="http://www.reuters.co.uk/newsPackageArticle.jhtml?type=worldNews&amp;amp;storyID=548388&amp;amp;section=news"&gt;there's a Jewish cemetery being &lt;br /&gt;vandalized.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we read that "New Zealand.. has no history of &lt;br /&gt;antisemitism, with only occasional acts of vandalism &lt;br /&gt;against Jewish buildings". Thank goodness! Only &lt;br /&gt;occasional antisemitism! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, looking into the prime minister's &lt;br /&gt;background, I came across the curious story of &lt;br /&gt;Clark and the arts. It's a strange one, and sort &lt;br /&gt;of makes you wonder if it's a spoof or not: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://nz.realisticpolitics.com/clarkfraudulent.htm"&gt;Prime Minister Helen Clark will not face criminal &lt;br /&gt;charges for signing an artwork she did not paint, &lt;br /&gt;despite a police investigation establishing she has &lt;br /&gt;a case to answer.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If true, the story describes a person with a weird &lt;br /&gt;relationship with reality. Take it with a grain of &lt;br /&gt;salt or garlic or something. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then again, there's this: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/PA0407/S00209.htm"&gt;ACT New Zealand Arts, Culture and Heritage &lt;br /&gt;Spokesman Deborah Coddington demanded that &lt;br /&gt;Prime Minister Helen Clark explain just why she &lt;br /&gt;thinks it's a good idea to spend $500,000 on a &lt;br /&gt;port-a-loo that makes donkey noises, and then &lt;br /&gt;explodes, in the name of art.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, Ms. Coddington might want to consider the &lt;br /&gt;possibility that this patriotic artist and the &lt;br /&gt;artistic PM had a clever plan to draw even more &lt;br /&gt;Mossad agents out of the woodwork. $500.000 is &lt;br /&gt;pocket change in this context - uncovering the &lt;br /&gt;sinister Israeli capabilites being built into &lt;br /&gt;a common software interface: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img47.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/dc.gif" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-108998297979595197?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108998297979595197'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108998297979595197'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/07/kiwis.html' title='Kiwis'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-108982936171257544</id><published>2004-07-14T20:00:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-07-14T20:23:35.046+02:00</updated><title type='text'>The wages of sin</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&amp;cid=1089695514559&amp;apage=1"&gt;The Palestinian Authority on Wednesday declared&lt;br /&gt;UN Middle East envoy Terje Roed-Larsen persona&lt;br /&gt;non grata and accused him of being biased to &lt;br /&gt;Israel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The decision, the first of its kind since the &lt;br /&gt;establishment of the PA, was taken after Larsen, &lt;br /&gt;a longtime friend of PA Chairman Yasser Arafat, &lt;br /&gt;publicly criticized him for failing to implement &lt;br /&gt;reforms and stop the violence.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img47.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/terje2-aftenpost.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Collaborator??

I said I wouldn't just be looking at&lt;br /&gt;the background hum of bigotry, disagreeable&lt;br /&gt;as that is.  There are other issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The board is driven by a product (FocusForum)&lt;br /&gt;developed by Robinson-DeFehr consulting.  The&lt;br /&gt;product seems to have been "in development"&lt;br /&gt;since at least 2000, and as of this date I don't&lt;br /&gt;believe I have ever seen it offered for sale.&lt;br /&gt;As things stand, Jim Robinson and his son John&lt;br /&gt;runs the FreeRepublic and John is responsible&lt;br /&gt;for the software - which does not seem to be&lt;br /&gt;publicly available.  It is listed on the web-&lt;br /&gt;site of &lt;a href="http://www.robinson-defehr.com/"&gt;Robinson-DeFehr&lt;/a&gt; consulting as a "current&lt;br /&gt;project". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many software products available for&lt;br /&gt;bulletin boards.  But the FreeRepublic site (a&lt;br /&gt;major board with many thousands of active members)&lt;br /&gt;is using a proprietary product offering no public&lt;br /&gt;transparency.  Basically, in regard to certain&lt;br /&gt;security issues, they're saying: This is safe.&lt;br /&gt;Trust us.  When you send a private message to&lt;br /&gt;another member, there is no way an administrator&lt;br /&gt;can look at it.  Your mail is private.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just an example. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, they might be right.  But it would be nice&lt;br /&gt;if there was a way of knowing that.  That way&lt;br /&gt;exist with commercial software, in the fact that&lt;br /&gt;the public uses it, flaws quickly become exposed&lt;br /&gt;and fixes are found and distributed, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, some questions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Is FocusForum available anywhere?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Is there any independent tests?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Would you trust a setup like this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-108981781093278847?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108981781093278847'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108981781093278847'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/07/software-musings.html' title='Software musings'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-108966975880826068</id><published>2004-07-12T23:50:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-07-13T00:02:38.806+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Drip.....</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seeing that we have no answer from the&lt;br /&gt;erstwhile proprietor of that home of...&lt;br /&gt;all kinds of ... hmmmm... anyway, the&lt;br /&gt;so called "conservative" chatboard of&lt;br /&gt;repute - Free Republic, I guess I'll go&lt;br /&gt;ahead with a series documenting the never&lt;br /&gt;quiet background noise of antisemitism&lt;br /&gt;in the place.

There are conservative forums&lt;br /&gt;affording us a voice like we never had before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, many of these forums have been &lt;br /&gt;overrun by neo-nazist scribblers, jihadists, &lt;br /&gt;"palestinians" from where the outer fringe left&lt;br /&gt;and the outer fringe right meets, and plain&lt;br /&gt;crazies.  Any forum not wishing to degenerate&lt;br /&gt;into a cesspool of sedition, antisemitism and&lt;br /&gt;wild-eyed hate has to wield the moderator's&lt;br /&gt;club pretty ruthlessly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the forums claiming a measure of&lt;br /&gt;"legitimacy" is the Free Republic forum&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freerepublic.com"&gt;(www.freerepublic.com)&lt;/a&gt;, run by Mr. Jim &lt;br /&gt;Robinson et al, out of Fresno, California.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Robinson has been known to portray Free Republic &lt;br /&gt;as a different kind of beast from other webforums&lt;br /&gt;more welcoming to a chorus of antisemitic&lt;br /&gt;voices.  I have been reading the place quite&lt;br /&gt;a lot lately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the official line of Free Republic has&lt;br /&gt;alwys been "antisemitism is not welcome here".&lt;br /&gt;And in many instances, a Stormfronter going&lt;br /&gt;about "making his bones" on Free Republic will&lt;br /&gt;be unceremoniously decanted out of there.&lt;br /&gt;However, in many instances nothing of the kind&lt;br /&gt;will happen.  Free Republic has a "stable" of&lt;br /&gt;resident posters who are supplying a constant&lt;br /&gt;background din of antisemitic garbage - and&lt;br /&gt;in many cases they are veteran "Freepers",&lt;br /&gt;having been around for years.  And enjoying&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Robinson's seeming waiver of the official &lt;br /&gt;"no antisemitism" admonition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some examples.  I'm not going to mention&lt;br /&gt;handles or name names.  Yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A couple of years back there was a poster&lt;br /&gt;equally known for his spirited defense for&lt;br /&gt;the right to possess child pornography and&lt;br /&gt;for his frequent postings from nazi sites&lt;br /&gt;like "hoffman-info" (a practice that flies&lt;br /&gt;squarely in the face of Mr. Robinson's&lt;br /&gt;posting rules).  After a number of posters&lt;br /&gt;had complained to the site moderators about&lt;br /&gt;this, I received a message from one of these&lt;br /&gt;same moderators.  Saying in effect that only&lt;br /&gt;the owner himself could ban that particular&lt;br /&gt;poster from the forum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That poster has since been banned, but it&lt;br /&gt;took literally years to get around to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another example of a now banned critter&lt;br /&gt;might be the site moderator who had links&lt;br /&gt;to "carolontheweb", another renowned anti-&lt;br /&gt;semite on the internet.  Another one would&lt;br /&gt;be the poster whose rants on Free Republic&lt;br /&gt;and "LibertyForum" (a mainly antisemitic site)&lt;br /&gt;against "kikes" and "hymie" dismayed Free&lt;br /&gt;Republic posters for years until Mr. Robinson&lt;br /&gt;kicked him off after a bitter fight where&lt;br /&gt;freepers made it clear that keeping him&lt;br /&gt;there might hurt revenues.  And Robinson's&lt;br /&gt;parting shot in that showdown was "We don't&lt;br /&gt;want Nazi-hunters here!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, in a situation where Republicans&lt;br /&gt;absolutely need whatever edge they can get&lt;br /&gt;in the fight to keep America out of the&lt;br /&gt;hands of John Kerry and his strange wife,&lt;br /&gt;Free Republic is still keeping its zoo&lt;br /&gt;of resident antisemites while claiming to&lt;br /&gt;be mainstream conservative.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One (having been a "freeper in good standing" &lt;br /&gt;since 2000), will tell you at every opportunity &lt;br /&gt;that Israel is running al Quaida, that Israel&lt;br /&gt;is an enemy of the US, and other theories&lt;br /&gt;usually found on "Jewwatch".  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One, registered in 1998, brings a general &lt;br /&gt;message that Zionism should be stamped out.  &lt;br /&gt;Oh, and also seems to lay claim to being an &lt;br /&gt;Admiral, a lawyer, a pilot, a communist, a &lt;br /&gt;Democrat, and Jewish - although he seems to &lt;br /&gt;have only the haziest understanding of what &lt;br /&gt;determines if you're Jewish.  Of course, the &lt;br /&gt;"I'm Jewish, so I can say this" has been a &lt;br /&gt;neo-nazi ploy for a generation or so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another poster, freeper since 1999, will &lt;br /&gt;jump discussions about Jews or Israel with &lt;br /&gt;exhortations and links to white supremacist &lt;br /&gt;preacher Sheldon Emry, his Christian Identity&lt;br /&gt;organization, and others of the same ilk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it seems that while Mr. Robinson wants &lt;br /&gt;some (the most obvious and damaging) antisemite &lt;br /&gt;posters gone, he wants some (the ones not too &lt;br /&gt;obvious to unskilled observers?) there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, why is that, Mr. Robinson? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-108941301737166229?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108941301737166229'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108941301737166229'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/07/annoying-question-to-forum-operator.html' title='Annoying question to a forum operator'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-108633935518731597</id><published>2004-06-04T10:28:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-06-04T10:55:55.186+02:00</updated><title type='text'>State of Kidnap</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zimbabve surprises me.  What is&lt;br /&gt;most surprising is that its leader,&lt;br /&gt;Mugabe, is still alive.  Second&lt;br /&gt;most surprising: this hideous state, &lt;br /&gt;unparalleled since Uganda under Idi &lt;br /&gt;Amin, is a member of the UN Human &lt;br /&gt;Rights commission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zimbabve was already pretty well&lt;br /&gt;known for the rape practices of its&lt;br /&gt;state-controlled thugs.  You could&lt;br /&gt;fairly call it a state of Rape. And&lt;br /&gt;of murder.  And of petty thievery&lt;br /&gt;and grand larceny.  And of devolution&lt;br /&gt;into something not quite qualifying&lt;br /&gt;for "the brotherhood of man", or any&lt;br /&gt;other UN-tasting weasel-phrases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, it can have the dubious&lt;br /&gt;distinction of being the state of&lt;br /&gt;kidnap.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?click_id=79&amp;art_id=qw1086260040581B251&amp;set_id=1"&gt;Its largest State-run hospital now &lt;br /&gt;refuses to let babies (and their mothers) &lt;br /&gt;go &lt;i&gt;until their bill is paid.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually, I'm not that surprised with&lt;br /&gt;Zimbabve and the UN snuggling up. The&lt;br /&gt;more you get to know about the UN, the&lt;br /&gt;more you suspect that a state like&lt;br /&gt;Zimbabve is likely to be something&lt;br /&gt;of a star in the UN firmament.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both seem to share two things: corrupt&lt;br /&gt;leaders and a culture of looting.  May&lt;br /&gt;they both end horribly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-108633935518731597?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108633935518731597'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108633935518731597'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/06/state-of-kidnap.html' title='State of Kidnap'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-108590999675297938</id><published>2004-05-30T10:59:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-05-30T11:41:19.356+02:00</updated><title type='text'>The European Terrorist</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been quietly fuming for a couple&lt;br /&gt;of days.  Since Caroline Glick had a &lt;br /&gt;column in Jerusalem Post titled "What&lt;br /&gt;Europe wants".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The gist of the article is that France&lt;br /&gt;wants to help the Arab countries rid&lt;br /&gt;themselves of the Jewish problem.  This,&lt;br /&gt;according to a French EU parliamentarian,&lt;br /&gt;is official French policy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&amp;cid=1085721253715"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Standing before the EU parliament in &lt;br /&gt;Brussels on May 16 2001, French EU &lt;br /&gt;parliamentarian Paul Marie Couteax &lt;br /&gt;made a stunning statement. After &lt;br /&gt;condemning Israel's actions to defend &lt;br /&gt;itself against Palestinian terrorism &lt;br /&gt;as the "theocratic excesses of this &lt;br /&gt;religious state," Couteax declared that &lt;br /&gt;Europe should supply the Arab world with &lt;br /&gt;nuclear weapons. In his words, "I have no &lt;br /&gt;hesitation in saying that we must consider &lt;br /&gt;giving the Arab side a large enough force, &lt;br /&gt;including a large enough nuclear force, to &lt;br /&gt;persuade Israel that it cannot simply do &lt;br /&gt;whatever it wants. That is the policy my &lt;br /&gt;country [France] pursued in the 1970s &lt;br /&gt;when it gave Iraq a nuclear force."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a fairly interesting statement,&lt;br /&gt;both because it seems not to have hit&lt;br /&gt;the world media, and because it places&lt;br /&gt;France in the curious position of being&lt;br /&gt;a self-declared terrorist nation, bent&lt;br /&gt;on supplying nuclear weapons to islamic&lt;br /&gt;terrorists so that they can fulfill the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.iran-press-service.com/articles_2001/dec_2001/rafsanjani_nuke_threats_141201.htm"&gt;dreams of Iran's ayatollah Rafsanjani.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In short, France is both breaking the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.un.org/Depts/dda/WMD/treaty/"&gt;UN non-proliferation treaty&lt;/a&gt;, and doing&lt;br /&gt;so in order to set up a second holocoust.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This should have serious consequences,&lt;br /&gt;both for France and any collaborators in &lt;br /&gt;the EU, that second attempt on a "Festung &lt;br /&gt;Europa".&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A few things should now happen:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;France should forfeit any nuclear force.&lt;br /&gt;If the UN is unable or unwilling to&lt;br /&gt;enforce its own rules (an easy call&lt;br /&gt;to make, since the UN is as anti-&lt;br /&gt;semitic as France), I'm sure that&lt;br /&gt;the US and/or Israel would be able&lt;br /&gt;to strip that terrorist entity of&lt;br /&gt;any WMD capability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;France, never what you would call&lt;br /&gt;a loyal NATO ally, should be booted&lt;br /&gt;out of the alliance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sanctions.  No nation should have&lt;br /&gt;defense trade or ties with France.&lt;br /&gt;The nation who let upwards of 14000&lt;br /&gt;of its own elderly fry in the summer&lt;br /&gt;heat should never become anything but&lt;br /&gt;a pariah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually, with this admission that&lt;br /&gt;France was trying to give nuclear&lt;br /&gt;weapons to Saddam Hussein, it would&lt;br /&gt;seem that Israel (and really, the UN,&lt;br /&gt;if the community wasn't rotting from&lt;br /&gt;the inside) has a casus belli against &lt;br /&gt;France.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-108590999675297938?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108590999675297938'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108590999675297938'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/05/european-terrorist.html' title='The European Terrorist'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-108569389737511071</id><published>2004-05-27T23:21:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-05-27T23:39:26.116+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Scandalous</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This last week having been chock full&lt;br /&gt;of the antics of "Washingtonienne" and&lt;br /&gt;her private/public life, I finally went&lt;br /&gt;out looking for a pic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As usual, I didn't get to my goal&lt;br /&gt;before I was sidetracked by something&lt;br /&gt;more interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A google search revealed the site&lt;br /&gt;"washingtonienne.com".

It wasn't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://washingtonienne.com"&gt;Washingtonienne.com&lt;/a&gt; is a redirect, to &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.moveon.org/front/"&gt;Moveon.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Washingtonienne domain was created&lt;br /&gt;on May 19, 2004.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just one of those weird little net&lt;br /&gt;anomalies that keeps popping up&lt;br /&gt;wherever lefties grow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-108569389737511071?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108569389737511071'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108569389737511071'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/05/scandalous.html' title='Scandalous'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-108490843014247622</id><published>2004-05-18T21:17:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-05-18T23:37:32.413+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Abuse</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weirdness out of the middle east is reaching&lt;br /&gt;proportions surprising even me.  And that is&lt;br /&gt;bloody surprising.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's start with the fallout from the Abu&lt;br /&gt;Ghraib pictures and all the "humiliation".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=worldNews&amp;storyID=5181020"&gt;Reuters Staff Abused by U.S. Troops in Iraq&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two of the three said they had been forced&lt;br /&gt;to insert a finger into their anus and then &lt;br /&gt;lick it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Color me unsympatethic.  Reuters deserve far&lt;br /&gt;worse than this.  Listening for that small&lt;br /&gt;voice of compassion, all I can get is "How&lt;br /&gt;can this be?  Wouldn't they have to take&lt;br /&gt;their heads out first"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, Israel is clearing out terrorist&lt;br /&gt;nests and weapon-tunnels in Gaza, while Kofi&lt;br /&gt;Annan, Colin Powell, the EU and all the&lt;br /&gt;usual suspects squeal like stuck pigs.  What&lt;br /&gt;Israel really ought to do is send in a couple&lt;br /&gt;divisions to take out the terrorist infra-&lt;br /&gt;structure in the UN-building.  I'd settle&lt;br /&gt;down and watch that one, with lots of &lt;br /&gt;popcorn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talking about Colin Powell: he ventured out&lt;br /&gt;of the closet the other day, and won't be&lt;br /&gt;able to hide again:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&amp;cid=1084510310025&amp;p=1078397702269"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking to a Dansih television channel, &lt;br /&gt;Powell reiterated President Bush's support &lt;br /&gt;for the Road Map peace plan and said that &lt;br /&gt;Israel must be forced to act in accordance &lt;br /&gt;with it.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fancy that.  And now he's bleating along with&lt;br /&gt;Kofi over damages to the Hamas and Islamic&lt;br /&gt;Jihad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually, this kind of open antisemitism &lt;br /&gt;from the US State Department is fully to be&lt;br /&gt;expected, and I wouldn't be surprised if&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Powell himself was really an Islamist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That would explain the abuse of US taxpayers&lt;br /&gt;money to spread Islam by way of the State&lt;br /&gt;Department website, here: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://usinfo.state.gov/products/pubs/muslimlife/"&gt;Islam is one of the fastest-growing religions &lt;br /&gt;in the United States today.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Titled "Muslim Life in America" this State&lt;br /&gt;Department site is a glowing advertisment for&lt;br /&gt;Islam and the Islamic way of life, provided&lt;br /&gt;in English, Spanish, French, Russian, Arabic&lt;br /&gt;(the Department's native language?), Chinese&lt;br /&gt;and Persian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interestingly, the State Department does not&lt;br /&gt;seem to have anything to recommend Buddhism,&lt;br /&gt;Hinduism or Vicca.  Christianity is right out, &lt;br /&gt;and the mere mention of Judaism would&lt;br /&gt;probably send the swamp's denizens into a&lt;br /&gt;foaming, swastika-polishing frenzy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, ACLU, where are you on this blatant abuse&lt;br /&gt;of a government site to spread religion?  &lt;br /&gt;What's that you say, boy?  It's not a religion?  &lt;br /&gt;It's a criminal enterprise?  So they get a free &lt;br /&gt;pass?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, here's what American taxpayers&lt;br /&gt;pay for:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://usinfo.state.gov/products/pubs/muslimlife/education3.htm"&gt;US State Department islamic Photoalbum&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=http://img47.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/playgroun.jpg&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At Greater Lansing Islamic School, &lt;br /&gt;East Lansing, Michigan, students play at &lt;br /&gt;the playground. (Courtesy Islamic Horizons)&lt;br /&gt;&amp;copy usinfo.state.gov/Islamic Horizons&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here is what the US taxpayers pay to &lt;br /&gt;have removed:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=http://img47.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/the_monument.jpg&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taxpayer money spreading Islam and erasing&lt;br /&gt;the Ten Commandments.  Isn't that special?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And as abuse, it makes the vaunted "prison&lt;br /&gt;scandal" seem like a prank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Colin and his merry State Department&lt;br /&gt;Jihadis are not the only ones popping up&lt;br /&gt;when you start looking for abuse.  The&lt;br /&gt;State Department's partner of choice, the&lt;br /&gt;purveyor of "legitimacy" (what we strait-&lt;br /&gt;laced folks call galloping corruption),&lt;br /&gt;the UN, is in hot water again.  As is not&lt;br /&gt;unusual, it is all about the children.&lt;br /&gt;Paedophilia, to be exact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3695967.stm"&gt;The UN says its staff have been illegally &lt;br /&gt;detained, while Eritrea accuses the &lt;br /&gt;peacekeepers of serious crimes including &lt;br /&gt;paedophilia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eritrea also claims the UN is destabilising &lt;br /&gt;the region.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You think that's a coincidence?  Or "an&lt;br /&gt;isolated incident", as the saying tend to&lt;br /&gt;go these days when a terrorist cell blows&lt;br /&gt;up something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afraid not.  Here's the next one, hot on&lt;br /&gt;the heels of the first:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=worldNews&amp;storyID=5095176"&gt;KINSHASA (Reuters) - The United Nations &lt;br /&gt;mission in Congo said Monday it was &lt;br /&gt;investigating allegations of sexual &lt;br /&gt;abuse and exploitation of civilians, &lt;br /&gt;including minors, by its staff serving &lt;br /&gt;in the northeastern town of Bunia.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It should be abundantly clear by now that&lt;br /&gt;the UN is, in itself, abuse.  It is the&lt;br /&gt;reign of people like Khomeini, Mugabe,&lt;br /&gt;Amin, Assad, Arafat, Yassin and Carlos&lt;br /&gt;given global scope and Nobel "Peace&lt;br /&gt;Prices".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where's the flood when you need it?&lt;br /&gt;Actually, I'd settle for man-eating&lt;br /&gt;locusts, if they'd just keep inside&lt;br /&gt;the UN-building.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-108490843014247622?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108490843014247622'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108490843014247622'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/05/abuse.html' title='Abuse'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-108430585598361817</id><published>2004-05-11T22:04:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-05-11T22:05:50.300+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Hacked Off</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like most others on the web, I've been&lt;br /&gt;following the ongoing saga of the pics&lt;br /&gt;released from the Abu Ghraib prison in&lt;br /&gt;Iraq.  The actual release of (classified?)&lt;br /&gt;material was, for a while, a mystery.&lt;br /&gt;No longer.  Now, I'm more than slightly&lt;br /&gt;irritated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll skip Colonel David Hackworth's place&lt;br /&gt;in the recent events.  Everyone is talking&lt;br /&gt;about that already.  What interests me is&lt;br /&gt;the good colonel's friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By his friends I'm thinking of an editor&lt;br /&gt;of "Defensewatch" magazine.  It seems that&lt;br /&gt;the rag &lt;a href ="http://www.sftt.org/dwa/2002/10/16/fte.html"&gt;employs someone by the name of &lt;br /&gt;Ralph Omholt.&lt;/a&gt;  Mr. Omholt also would seem &lt;br /&gt;to go by the moniker "Skydrifter".  So, I&lt;br /&gt;have a few questions for Mr. Hackworth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.  Is Ralph Omholt one of your employees?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.  Is this: &lt;a href="http://home.comcast.net/~skydrifter/exp.htm"&gt;Skydrifter's page&lt;/a&gt; in fact that &lt;br /&gt;Defensewatch editor's personal page?&lt;br /&gt;Note: portrait and name is &lt;a href="http://home.comcast.net/~skydrifter/cs985.htm"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;It is featured as one of the very best&lt;br /&gt;9/11 pages on &lt;a href="http://www.vanguardnewsnetwork.com/lettersOct-Nov03/122003letters.htm"&gt;Vanguard News Network,&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;a well-known neonazi site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.  Do you endorse the views expressed&lt;br /&gt;on that page?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and from what's floating around, it&lt;br /&gt;seems that there's a very prolific poster&lt;br /&gt;named "Skydrifter" on some chatboards of&lt;br /&gt;the antisemitic variety.  From what I've&lt;br /&gt;seen, it looks like the same Skydrifter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, as a "Soldier For The Truth": would&lt;br /&gt;you like to clarify?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-108430585598361817?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108430585598361817'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108430585598361817'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/05/hacked-off.html' title='Hacked Off'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-108370446180180903</id><published>2004-05-05T00:20:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-05-05T00:44:13.606+02:00</updated><title type='text'>UNScummy</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This past week we have had even more &lt;br /&gt;atrocious behaviour than usual from that &lt;br /&gt;global mafia, the UN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First out (or maybe second) was the UN&lt;br /&gt;choice for High Poobah for Iraq, Lakhdar&lt;br /&gt;Brahimi.   Brahimi is a well known mouth&lt;br /&gt;for the Arab League, and hasn't wasted&lt;br /&gt;any time in making his antisemitism his key&lt;br /&gt;issue:  &lt;a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1127944/posts"&gt;"The great poison in the region is &lt;br /&gt;this Israeli policy of domination and the &lt;br /&gt;suffering imposed on the Palestinians."&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, right.  This is a guy who defended&lt;br /&gt;Saddam Hussein, who has worked and is&lt;br /&gt;working to restore the Baathist positions&lt;br /&gt;in Iraq, who the Kurds fear as much as&lt;br /&gt;they feared Saddam - and with good reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kofi Annan distanced himself from the&lt;br /&gt;"Israel=Poison" statement from his Arab&lt;br /&gt;underling, but later let that drop and&lt;br /&gt;instead came out in Brahimi's defense.&lt;br /&gt;No wonder John Kerry loves the man,&lt;br /&gt;they have the same kind of two-faced&lt;br /&gt;slipperyness.  Like a rotting fish with a&lt;br /&gt;head in each end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, enough with Brahimi.  There's&lt;br /&gt;more filth floating in the UN bowl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Oil-for-food scam, also called the&lt;br /&gt;UNScam, UNScum, and a host of other &lt;br /&gt;fanciful terms.  Benon Sevan, a close&lt;br /&gt;associate of Mr. Annan and one of the&lt;br /&gt;key players in the shenanigans, has&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nypost.com/news/worldnews/23691.htm"&gt;instructed that information is not to be&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;given to governmental authorities and&lt;br /&gt;others investigating the scandal.  Annan&lt;br /&gt;has put his support behind this rather&lt;br /&gt;curious initiative.  Of course, there is&lt;br /&gt;that embarassing little detail named&lt;br /&gt;Kojo Annan too.  So the necessary&lt;br /&gt;information may have to be wrung out&lt;br /&gt;out of the suspects hands, literally,&lt;br /&gt;if it is ever to see daylight.  Of course&lt;br /&gt;it won't come to that: all these criminals&lt;br /&gt;have diplomatic immunity.  But they &lt;i&gt;can&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;be deported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there was the situation in Thailand,&lt;br /&gt;where hundreds of islamic terrorists,&lt;br /&gt;upon activation by their leaders, attacked&lt;br /&gt;police and army posts.  Since the islamics&lt;br /&gt;seems to have been armed mainly with&lt;br /&gt;machetes, the army and police made&lt;br /&gt;short work of them.  That was because&lt;br /&gt;they were prepared.  Had they been&lt;br /&gt;unprepared, an attack by a machete-&lt;br /&gt;wielding horde would have been quite&lt;br /&gt;a nasty thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the UN is offended, as usual when&lt;br /&gt;an islamic terrorist is killed.  Of course,&lt;br /&gt;this ended with more than a hundred&lt;br /&gt;dead terrorists, so the UN is in a state&lt;br /&gt;of hysterical frothyness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/4/30/134458.shtml"&gt;The "world body" is now demanding&lt;br /&gt;that Thailand investigate the killings&lt;br /&gt;in a prompt and satisfactory (to the&lt;br /&gt;UN) manner.  And think at least trice&lt;br /&gt;before ever doing something like that&lt;br /&gt;again.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And with that, we have arrived at the&lt;br /&gt;UN Commision for Human Rights.  The&lt;br /&gt;person frothing at Thailand for killing&lt;br /&gt;too many islamic would-be murderers&lt;br /&gt;is Bertrand Ramcharan, the acting UN&lt;br /&gt;High Commissioner on Human Rights.&lt;br /&gt;No, it's not a joke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lastest from that august body is&lt;br /&gt;that the US walked out of proceedings&lt;br /&gt;to ensure that Sudan has a seat on the&lt;br /&gt;Commission.  Of course, Sudan is not&lt;br /&gt;especially well known for its adherence&lt;br /&gt;to human rights, being more famous&lt;br /&gt;for its bustling trade in slaves and mass&lt;br /&gt;murder, even genocide, of Christians.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other members include such states as&lt;br /&gt;Zimbabve, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.  Any&lt;br /&gt;club involving Sudan, Zimbabve or Egypt&lt;br /&gt;is likely to be corrupt, criminal, antisemitic,&lt;br /&gt;genocidal and generally worth putting in&lt;br /&gt;enforced quarantine for the foreseeable&lt;br /&gt;future.  Putting all these into a body&lt;br /&gt;supposed to be looking after "human&lt;br /&gt;rights" is probably as close as you can&lt;br /&gt;get to terminal blasphemy without &lt;br /&gt;getting hit by lightning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far, that is.  But I'm praying every&lt;br /&gt;day....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-108370446180180903?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108370446180180903'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108370446180180903'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/05/unscummy.html' title='UNScummy'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-108333205302148674</id><published>2004-04-30T15:28:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-05-05T00:23:49.310+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Taters</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had something of a treat the other day.&lt;br /&gt;That is, I haven't had it yet, but I will as &lt;br /&gt;soon as I get in a cooking mood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first new potatoes of the year has &lt;br /&gt;come to my grocers.  And this year, in &lt;br /&gt;addition to the local crop, there's some &lt;br /&gt;very nice goods from Israel.  I now have &lt;br /&gt;enough potatoes to last me for a while, &lt;br /&gt;buying far more than I really needed.  &lt;br /&gt;But hey, when they start to wrinkle up &lt;br /&gt;and grow appendages, I can just plant &lt;br /&gt;them behind the house.  Taters are user-&lt;br /&gt;friendly.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And buying Israeli ones gives you a very &lt;br /&gt;particular sense of satisfaction: it is a small, &lt;br /&gt;personal slap in the face of Arafat, the &lt;br /&gt;murderous islamics and their rabid leftist &lt;br /&gt;fellow-travellers.  Come to think of it, isn't &lt;br /&gt;it funny how the left, the Arabs and the &lt;br /&gt;Nazist movement seem to be increasingly &lt;br /&gt;joined at the hip?  If you want to find a &lt;br /&gt;European anti-semite, look in the left bin.  &lt;br /&gt;Labour?  Lots of them, and in power &lt;br /&gt;positions.  Left of Labour?  Crawling and &lt;br /&gt;teeming like roaches.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway.  Buyer satisfaction is a great thing.  &lt;br /&gt;A store carrying goods from Israel (or the &lt;br /&gt;US), in addition to our local Norwegian stuff, &lt;br /&gt;gets two thumbs up in my book.  Which means &lt;br /&gt;that I'll use it.  A shop conspiciously empty of &lt;br /&gt;same gets a thumb down.  Too much of that, &lt;br /&gt;and I'll not darken their door again.  And &lt;br /&gt;contrary to what the wild-eyed thugs screaming &lt;br /&gt;for boycotts of Israeli goods may think, &lt;br /&gt;businesses tend to listen to their customers and &lt;br /&gt;not placard-carrying, keffyah-wearing welfare &lt;br /&gt;cases with a spittle-control problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I got a bit curious as to where the stuff &lt;br /&gt;I get comes from.  It seems that this early &lt;br /&gt;spring crop comes from three areas: &lt;a href="http://lanra.dac.uga.edu/potato/mideast/israel.htm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beit Shaan, Sharon and Besor.&lt;/a&gt;  Off &lt;br /&gt;I went, poking at the web with my trusty &lt;br /&gt;Google.  Of course I got sidetracked.  In &lt;br /&gt;Beit Shaan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The kibbutz of Sde Eliyahu in Beit Shaan &lt;br /&gt;not only grows potatoes. It also grows fish.  &lt;br /&gt;A particular kind of fish, the Tilapia.  That's &lt;br /&gt;twice I've stumbled across the Tilapia fish &lt;br /&gt;in two days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first was on a website by Paul Winchell, &lt;br /&gt;the ventriloquist who invented the artificial &lt;br /&gt;heart.  Nix told me about him, so I had to see.  &lt;br /&gt;And that is one amazing individual of the &lt;br /&gt;Hebrew persuasion.  Sometime in the past &lt;br /&gt;(it doesn't give a date and I've not gone &lt;br /&gt;digging in congressional records), it seems &lt;br /&gt;that Winchell tried to get a project running to &lt;br /&gt;provide food for Africa.  Basically, it was a very &lt;br /&gt;good idea but it got no funding.  The whole &lt;br /&gt;story of Winchell's Tilapia project is well worth &lt;br /&gt;reading, here: &lt;a href="http://www.paulwinchell.com/tilapiaproject.htm"&gt;The Tilapia Project"&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.seliyahu.org.il/eFish.htm"&gt;&lt;img src=http://img47.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/fish1s.jpg&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;copy www.seliyahu.org.il (Click on pic for link)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, the Israelis are growing Tilapia, &lt;br /&gt;and have done so for quite some time.  &lt;br /&gt;Providing food and making a difference.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The contrast when compared to the &lt;br /&gt;"people" seeking a "state" in the area, &lt;br /&gt;the "Palestinians", almost beggars belief.  &lt;br /&gt;Israel's priority is growing food.  The &lt;br /&gt;"Palestinians" priority is growing suicide &lt;br /&gt;bombers.  Guess which priority the EU &lt;br /&gt;aligns itself with?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now I've gone a fair bit off from where &lt;br /&gt;I thought I was going with my potatoes.  &lt;br /&gt;Might as well have a look at my other &lt;br /&gt;favourite place of late, Hebron.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=http://img47.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/DSCN4230.jpg&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;copy www.hebron.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hebron is the first Hebrew city in Israel.  &lt;br /&gt;It had existed for thousands of years when &lt;br /&gt;Mohammed was only a bad premonition &lt;br /&gt;of plagues to come, somewhere in the &lt;br /&gt;genestream of his pagan ancestors.  And &lt;br /&gt;it was partly handed over to the islamics &lt;br /&gt;in what is a too little known Clinton swindle.  &lt;br /&gt;Suffice to say that Clinton had learned well &lt;br /&gt;from Carter, one of the most anti-semitic &lt;br /&gt;presidents in US history and the shame of &lt;br /&gt;the Nobel Committee.  Well, &lt;b&gt;a&lt;/b&gt; shame of &lt;br /&gt;the Nobel Committee.  They have dipped into &lt;br /&gt;slime on too many occasions to have honor or&lt;br /&gt;credibility left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, the society of Hebron plugs on.  The &lt;br /&gt;other day, they celebrated the Israeli &lt;br /&gt;independence day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=http://img47.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/indys1.jpg&gt;&lt;img src=http://img47.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/indys3.jpg&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;copy www.hebron.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, the contrast from the hateful grimace &lt;br /&gt;of the "Arab street" is striking:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=http://img47.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/body1lead.jpg&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The difference between Israel and the &lt;br /&gt;Arab world is, literally, between life and &lt;br /&gt;death.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not that that will make any difference to &lt;br /&gt;the currently anti-semitic-to-the-core UN.  &lt;br /&gt;They will go on issuing resolutions &lt;br /&gt;condemning life and celebrating death until &lt;br /&gt;they get exactly what they ask for.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that's a topic for a different day.  Seeing &lt;br /&gt;what I started out with here, who knows &lt;br /&gt;where I'll end if I start on Kofi Annan?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-108333205302148674?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108333205302148674'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108333205302148674'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/04/taters.html' title='Taters'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-108306467778792563</id><published>2004-04-27T13:43:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-04-27T14:34:18.653+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Pardon??</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/index.php?messageDate=2004-04-14"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I have never seen a head so far up a &lt;br /&gt;Presidential ass (pardon my Falluja) than &lt;br /&gt;the one I saw last night at the "news &lt;br /&gt;conference" given by George W. Bush."&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Michael Moore&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, Mikey, I really don't know what to say.&lt;br /&gt;Except that you seem to relish the murder&lt;br /&gt;of your countrymen and the rise of islamic&lt;br /&gt;Nazism.  And of course, you can take your&lt;br /&gt;pardon, ram it up your Falluja and pull the &lt;br /&gt;detonation cord.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I probably shouldn't say mean stuff&lt;br /&gt;like that.  I mean, nowhere has Mikey come&lt;br /&gt;straight out and professed an affinity for&lt;br /&gt;suicide bombers, even though Arafat is &lt;br /&gt;partly a product of the very same communist &lt;br /&gt;ideology as himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides, the suggestion is manifestly&lt;br /&gt;impossible.

Looking at the&lt;br /&gt;gleaming office environment in the UN&lt;br /&gt;building, you half expect to see Saddam&lt;br /&gt;Hussein peering out from a spider hole&lt;br /&gt;under some desk.  God knows he paid&lt;br /&gt;them enough.  Or al Zawahiri taking lunch&lt;br /&gt;in the canteen (not during looting hours,&lt;br /&gt;of course).  Or bin Laden hiding out in&lt;br /&gt;the smoker's lounge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The UNscam is but one link in the UN's&lt;br /&gt;unbroken chain of corruption and terrorist&lt;br /&gt;connections over the last few years.  Not&lt;br /&gt;that recent events present any surprise:&lt;br /&gt;you kind of get to expect strange things&lt;br /&gt;from an organization once led by Kurt&lt;br /&gt;Waldheim.  Now it's led by Kofi Annan, &lt;br /&gt;who has managed to bring it even further &lt;br /&gt;down in the mud.  I wouldn't have thought &lt;br /&gt;it possible.  It's a feat.  I can only scratch&lt;br /&gt;my head in wonder - or, to put it in the&lt;br /&gt;words of J.C.Clarke's "Gimmix":&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Amused, amazed, aghast we gaze&lt;br /&gt;we don't get in the way&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, let's just hope that things get in the&lt;br /&gt;way of the UN continuing to rip off the world.&lt;br /&gt;Let's hope that the various investigations&lt;br /&gt;that are underway will have the resources,&lt;br /&gt;and the guts, to do the job that has to be&lt;br /&gt;done.  Personally, I wish that it would be&lt;br /&gt;possible to involve corruption hunter Eva&lt;br /&gt;Joly in the process somehow.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But in reality, as I've said before, I think&lt;br /&gt;the UN must be disbanded.  Otherwise, we&lt;br /&gt;are on a slippery slope to give factual world&lt;br /&gt;control to what is really a criminal enterprise.&lt;br /&gt;Don't believe me?  Here's a hint: do some&lt;br /&gt;easy investigation of selected high-level&lt;br /&gt;UN envoys.  Just scratch the surface, using&lt;br /&gt;google.  What turns up looks, to me anyway,&lt;br /&gt;like a regular rogue's gallery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An example, found with the tool everyone&lt;br /&gt;loves (or hates, depending):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.norwaves.com/norwaves/Volume5_1997/v5nw10.html"&gt;Terje Roed Larsen, special envoy to the ME&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Old stuff from 1997, and perhaps it's just&lt;br /&gt;mean to bring things like that up.  But I, for&lt;br /&gt;one, would like to see the self-appointed&lt;br /&gt;arbiter of "legitimacy" hiring folks with&lt;br /&gt;cleaner hands for a position of supposedly&lt;br /&gt;keeping the most corrupt, antisemitic and&lt;br /&gt;deadly people in the world from trying to&lt;br /&gt;exterminate the Jews.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, seing that the "world body" has &lt;br /&gt;its most convulsive moments when the Jews &lt;br /&gt;have the impertinence to try and defend&lt;br /&gt;themselves, I expect that this is what we&lt;br /&gt;must expect. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, what I'd &lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt; like to see is for &lt;br /&gt;this nest of vipers to stop being a drain &lt;br /&gt;on the world's resources and a boon to the &lt;br /&gt;world's collective terror organizations - that is, &lt;br /&gt;go away.  To Hades, if at all possible.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Thinking about the UN makes me think of&lt;br /&gt;John Kerry, inevitably.  The UN seems to be&lt;br /&gt;what drives him, even more than the Democrat&lt;br /&gt;party.  He's on record saying that the US&lt;br /&gt;military should be under UN control, and that&lt;br /&gt;if he's elected, he'll bring the US to the UN's&lt;br /&gt;doorstep - like a cat bringing a dead mouse&lt;br /&gt;to the door in search of praise.  No fate, it&lt;br /&gt;seems to me, could be more hideous for the&lt;br /&gt;American public.  Not to mention for the rest&lt;br /&gt;of the world, where the UN would probably&lt;br /&gt;find good use for that army.  Want to bet&lt;br /&gt;on how long Israel (or the Jews) would last&lt;br /&gt;if Kofi or Terje had their grubby little mitts&lt;br /&gt;on the football?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now for something strange (you find strange&lt;br /&gt;stuff stumbling around the web):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=http://img47.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/cmotdibbler2.jpg&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://world.std.com/~kcl/disccmotdibbler.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meet "Cut-me-own-throat" Dibbler, the Discworld&lt;br /&gt;junkfood vendor.

I expect it will be just before an important debate between himself and his better, President Bush.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Anything&lt;/b&gt; to destroy the President's concentration.&lt;br&gt;He will turn alternate shades of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="blue"&gt;blue&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#33999"&gt;and&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="red"&gt;red&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#33999"&gt;as he waits for the perfect moment and he will suffer in grotesque silence until he can finally release the agony of de butt. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Permit, please, a small illustration.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Moderator: "President Bush, do you think there will really be another terrorist attack inside the United States?"&lt;br&gt;Kerry, silently to himself: "Wheeewwww."&lt;br&gt; &lt;img src="http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/v76/NixTwo/Bush/Kerry_Bush.jpg"&gt;&lt;br&gt; Bush: "Oh.

At least a cultural one.&lt;br /&gt;At least when it comes to food.  Today&lt;br /&gt;I committed the atrocity of mixing a sharp&lt;br /&gt;garlic sauce with sauerkraut, heaping the&lt;br /&gt;mess onto a healthy helping of meatloaf,&lt;br /&gt;and making short work of it.  Try it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Granted, as atrocities go, it doesn't get&lt;br /&gt;up there with John Kerry's exploits.  Or&lt;br /&gt;maybe it does?  I mean, since it turns&lt;br /&gt;out that most of what Lurch "remembers"&lt;br /&gt;seems to be quite wrong, not to say&lt;br /&gt;bloody lies?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take the latest twist in his tale of heroism&lt;br /&gt;(his own), for example.  Lurch's site claims&lt;br /&gt;that he was involved in an action while&lt;br /&gt;commanding swift boat #94 on Jan. 29,&lt;br /&gt;1969.  But wait: there seems to be something&lt;br /&gt;odd.  &lt;a href="http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2004/04/23/discrepancies_noted_in_kerrys_record/"&gt;Another man, according to the Boston&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Globe, is claiming to have been in command&lt;br /&gt;of #94 at that time.  What's more, he was&lt;br /&gt;seriously wounded.  I expect we'll hear more&lt;br /&gt;about this from Lurch and his henchmen in&lt;br /&gt;due time.  Let's just hope that the other&lt;br /&gt;commander doesn't meet the same kind of&lt;br /&gt;fate as the "dissident" member of Kerry's&lt;br /&gt;"band of brothers" - who was fired just&lt;br /&gt;hours after raining on the Lurch parade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the more serious of Kerry's deficiencies&lt;br /&gt;may not be that he's incapable of keeping a&lt;br /&gt;straight tongue.  There's worse things than&lt;br /&gt;a stupid liar.  A stupid liar (and Lurch is&lt;br /&gt;definitely not the brightest bulb on the&lt;br /&gt;Democrat firmament) easily does away with&lt;br /&gt;his own credibility, and that of his party.&lt;br /&gt;That is something we can be amused and&lt;br /&gt;thankful over.  No, his real deficiency is his&lt;br /&gt;Quisling-ness.  BTW, did you know that&lt;br /&gt;"Quisling" has gained status as a verb?  It's&lt;br /&gt;true.  To quisle.  To practice quislingism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.upi.com/view.cfm?StoryID=20040309-122413-8660r"&gt;So Kerry met with the enemy, in Paris, back&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in 1971.  Now, if he's elected, he's promising&lt;br /&gt;that he'll go to the UN and grovel.  And bring&lt;br /&gt;back the influence which the UN has lost over&lt;br /&gt;the last few years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe he'd be doing it out of respect and love&lt;br /&gt;of the French.  Or maybe there's still enough &lt;br /&gt;millions salted away from the UNscam to make &lt;br /&gt;it worth his while.  Ha.  I knew that if I looked&lt;br /&gt;hard enough, I'd find some common ground&lt;br /&gt;with the blighter.  Food-crime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I've already worked off the guilt.  All it&lt;br /&gt;took was a trek along the river running past&lt;br /&gt;here - burning off the meatloaf and letting&lt;br /&gt;doggie get her first dip this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img47.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/cyndi6.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lurch will have to work much harder, I suspect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-108276891546418820?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108276891546418820'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108276891546418820'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/04/foodcriminal.html' title='Foodcriminal&lt;p&gt;'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-108271452947886780</id><published>2004-04-23T11:50:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-04-23T12:09:44.966+02:00</updated><title type='text'>The Cachelot, and Nix too</title><content type='html'>This blog is changing into a team blog.&lt;br /&gt;Nix Two (Nitzana) is going to be posting &lt;br /&gt;here, something that will transform this &lt;br /&gt;place from a rantblog to something more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome aboard, Lady.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-108271452947886780?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108271452947886780'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108271452947886780'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/04/cachelot-and-nix-too.html' title='The Cachelot, and Nix too&lt;p&gt;'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-108271260165862896</id><published>2004-04-23T10:11:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-04-23T11:47:23.030+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Query CBS</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;font color="#339999"&gt;Gotta ask. Gotta know.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why does a major television network in the United States, CBS,  see it as acceptable to depict the greatest pain The UK has known in the past several decades by exploiting pictures of Princess Diana as she was dying on what it ridiculously terms a *news* magazine show?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Has it suddenly become an imperative of CBS that the US PEOPLE'S right to know should not be infringed?&lt;br&gt;(Or was it the craven want of publicity and ratings to boost profits for the all but dead, left-leaning network?)&lt;br&gt;2. Hasn't a decade+ of Dan Blather been enough? Hasn't the leftist slant of all CBS Network news shows trying to drive our President from office been enough?&lt;br&gt;3. Hasn't profiteering using French/CBS published propaganda books whose authors were hired to be outrageously untruthful and then SELLING the books on 60 Minutes been enough?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could hazard a pretty good guess as to its true motive, but if (...and it is advisedly I say, "if,") the answer is that it is the right of people in the USA to know, that brings up a whole new can of worms.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Specifically, why should &lt;b&gt;ANY&lt;/b&gt; major network be able to show us the dying and death of Great Britain's Princess in a stinking French tunnel, but &lt;b&gt;NO&lt;/b&gt; network will show the people of the United States even a small reminder of why we are fighting this horrific War on Terror?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have not seen much visual evidence of the REAL horror of September 11, while they continue to bombard us daily with a body count in Iraq. Most of the major networks, FOX excluded, continue to lobby the American People to rise up against the war which is being fought valiantly by our troops. There is a constant and deliberate attempt to lower the morale of the US and our military by stating a much contested conclusion that we can never win this war.&lt;br /&gt;All the while, they &lt;b&gt;say&lt;/b&gt; they support our troops, when what they &lt;b&gt;mean&lt;/b&gt; is that they &lt;b&gt;support the election of John S'Kerry&lt;/b&gt; who would immediately turn &lt;b&gt;OUR&lt;/b&gt; troops and &lt;b&gt;OUR&lt;/b&gt; sovereignty to the unholy ministrations of the most corrupt body on the face of the earth, the United Nations. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to see the film of The Twin Towers being hit as often as we need reminded, (which seems to be weekly,) why we are at war. I want our people to &lt;b&gt;remember&lt;/b&gt; how OUR innocent civilians were brutally massacred by the bloody terrorists the UN backs with money and refuge. It should be shown until it sinks into the national psyche that we are &lt;b&gt;TARGETS&lt;/b&gt; of the UN every bit as much as every person who suffers and dies at the hands Islamofascist terrorists anywhere in the world. These organizations, if they can be called such, could not exist anywhere humanity exists were it not for the facade of legitimacy the UN bestowes on the criiminal elements within its own core.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terrorist states within the UN body politik pay for UN sanctimony and absurd *resolutions* with lavish gifts and stupendous amounts of bribe monies. It matters not a whit to the *leadership* of the UN what is right or wrong, real or not, truth or lie. The whole conglomerate has been bought and paid for by the most evil, spiteful, barbaric coalition of hate and greed the world has ever known.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So where are the pictures of their evil? Where is the condemnation from these networks and strident Communistic Newswires for all the atrocities perpetrated under UN sanction? Where is the condemnation of John S'Kerry's relentless pursuit of the United States' self destruction?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, I can't hear you......&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contributed by Nitzana&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-108271260165862896?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108271260165862896'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108271260165862896'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/04/query-cbs.html' title='&lt;font color=&quot;#339999&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Query CBS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;'/><author><name>After Midnight</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dCY44cNtLko/TIOaIHBH53I/AAAAAAAAABE/XB3OE6-LgRs/S220/WinterPatchDark.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-10823078591170444</id><published>2004-04-18T19:01:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-04-23T12:04:48.466+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Bibi</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=61012"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Netanyahu seems to be going for Sharon's&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;plan, along with Limor Livnat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=http://img47.photobucket.com/albums/v143/cachelot/netanyahu_livnat.jpg&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;copy www.israelnationalnews.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is, to me, encouraging news.

He puts&lt;br /&gt;on his most serious face and his best suit,&lt;br /&gt;and trundles out to condemn this latest&lt;br /&gt;atrocity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is: if the terrorist is a muslim barbarian&lt;br /&gt;who has killed Jews.  Kofi could care less&lt;br /&gt;about what slaughter goes on in other parts&lt;br /&gt;of the world, and his organization was always&lt;br /&gt;able to deal with genocide and assorted&lt;br /&gt;atrocities without being visibly upset.  But&lt;br /&gt;let the Jews kill an attacker who has killed&lt;br /&gt;hundreds of them, and Ghana's top (not&lt;br /&gt;to say only) international diplomat has a &lt;br /&gt;conniption fit.  He threw one over Yassin,&lt;br /&gt;the genocidal cripple.  He's throwing a new&lt;br /&gt;one over Rantisi, the mass-murdering&lt;br /&gt;physician. Why is that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Part of the answer, I'm afraid, is that the UN&lt;br /&gt;is an organization that is first and foremost&lt;br /&gt;antisemitic these days.  The ghost of Himmler&lt;br /&gt;and the ghost of Mengele occupy every office&lt;br /&gt;in which there sits some muslim "dignitary",&lt;br /&gt;and most of the European ones.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dare say that if Dag Hammarskjøld and &lt;br /&gt;Trygve Lie had been around today, they'd &lt;br /&gt;disown the filthy thing and, if possible, &lt;br /&gt;stuff it down the garbage chute.  With &lt;br /&gt;most of its "envoys".  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No nation wishing to be part of western &lt;br /&gt;civilization should belong to this gang of &lt;br /&gt;pirates and terrorists, where a terrorist state &lt;br /&gt;like Syria can be seated on the Human Rights&lt;br /&gt;Council - an obscenity even in the context&lt;br /&gt;of the pervading UN culture of corruption.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, of course there is a cure for the UN.  &lt;br /&gt;Apart from extreme measures like bulldozing &lt;br /&gt;the Manhattan Monstrosity into the East River.  &lt;br /&gt;We'll get back to that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But to the UN's history of systemic failures.&lt;br /&gt;Calling it failures is sort of wishy-washy, really&lt;br /&gt;- something Charlie Brown might say.  The&lt;br /&gt;fact is that these are not failures, but &lt;br /&gt;features built into the UN system.  Not&lt;br /&gt;one of the UN's main stakeholders (as&lt;br /&gt;opposed to the people actually paying for&lt;br /&gt;the fun and games) is remotely interested&lt;br /&gt;in changing things for the better, or if they&lt;br /&gt;are, they have not come up with measures&lt;br /&gt;to correct things.  The UN mostly consist&lt;br /&gt;of countries hostile to democracy, hostile&lt;br /&gt;to the West, hostile to the Jews, and&lt;br /&gt;often headed up by howlingly insane&lt;br /&gt;criminals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps the best-known UN failure in&lt;br /&gt;recent years is Rwanda.  Here, in 1994,&lt;br /&gt;Hutu extremists murdered 800 000 Tutsis&lt;br /&gt;and other "enemies" in about the time it&lt;br /&gt;takes my phone company between bills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what's the UN got to do with it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/panorama/3577575.stm"&gt;One dark night in Rwanda, a man who&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;called himself Jean-Pierre warned the UN &lt;br /&gt;about a plan to exterminate Tutsis at a &lt;br /&gt;rate faster than the Nazis killed Jews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what did the UN do?  Why, nothing, of&lt;br /&gt;course.  Except for refusing to call it "genocide".&lt;br /&gt;Later, some more of the truth came out.&lt;br /&gt;About French forces helping the Hutus&lt;br /&gt;organize and implement the atrocity.  And&lt;br /&gt;the Rwanda conflict spilled over the borders&lt;br /&gt;and into Congo.  A sick and twisted story&lt;br /&gt;all around.  But not all that unique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.reuters.co.uk/newsPackageArticle.jhtml?type=worldNews&amp;storyID=494771&amp;section=news"&gt;The latest outrage from the UN is the&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;story of American UN police officers being&lt;br /&gt;killed by muslim UN police officers, in a&lt;br /&gt;firefight in a Kosovo prison.  Seems the&lt;br /&gt;"peacekeeper muslims" was in a snit over&lt;br /&gt;the Iraq war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not surprising.  Having let the muslims&lt;br /&gt;set the agenda for the UN for many years,&lt;br /&gt;it's not surprising that the factions that are&lt;br /&gt;tirelessly spouting resolutions which are really&lt;br /&gt;nothing more than regurgitated Hitler-tracts&lt;br /&gt;and Arab neo-Nazism now feel confident&lt;br /&gt;enough to turn their guns on "infidel" UN&lt;br /&gt;personnel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that the UN was turning into a free-&lt;br /&gt;for-all, basically a corrupt looting club, was&lt;br /&gt;demonstrated in a bizarre fashion when the&lt;br /&gt;cafeteria workers in the UN-building went&lt;br /&gt;on strike last year.  The UN "diplomats"&lt;br /&gt;simply went looting, like they'd never done&lt;br /&gt;any different all their lives.  An amusing&lt;br /&gt;account from Roger Franklin:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/03/27/1080330984252.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;As one witness marvelled after seeing an&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;envoy make off with a baked turkey under &lt;br /&gt;one arm and a framed picture under the other: &lt;br /&gt;"They were locusts!"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what to do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, every civilized nation must&lt;br /&gt;withdraw from the UN.  The US is the most&lt;br /&gt;important one in this regard: the UN would&lt;br /&gt;be severely disabled if not for the steady&lt;br /&gt;stream of American money and troops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, throw the UN out of its lair on&lt;br /&gt;the East River.  Empty the bulding and&lt;br /&gt;secure it, pending a full investigation of&lt;br /&gt;the documents left.  We &lt;em&gt;need&lt;/em&gt; to&lt;br /&gt;know what the buggers have been up to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third, sanctions.  The US should implement&lt;br /&gt;a policy for dealing with the remaining UN&lt;br /&gt;structure (now maybe headquartered in&lt;br /&gt;Belgium, where the pink parties are not&lt;br /&gt;necessarily communist organizations).  A&lt;br /&gt;handy model for this already exists - just&lt;br /&gt;go back to the measures used vis a vis the&lt;br /&gt;soviet bloc.  That would mean travel&lt;br /&gt;restrictions to member states, a lid on&lt;br /&gt;sensitive technology being sold to UN&lt;br /&gt;members, and so on.  I'd give this empty&lt;br /&gt;suit less than half a year before it would&lt;br /&gt;fold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourth, a fresh start.  Implement an&lt;br /&gt;organization in which membership must&lt;br /&gt;be earned.  No state mouthing Hitler's&lt;br /&gt;heritage need apply.  No state killing&lt;br /&gt;political dissenters need apply.  No state &lt;br /&gt;applying Sharia law need apply.  And no&lt;br /&gt;state without a functioning democracy&lt;br /&gt;need apply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-108229506759511847?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108229506759511847'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108229506759511847'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/04/un-ethical.html' title='UN-ethical&lt;p&gt;'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-108211673851925112</id><published>2004-04-17T04:29:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-04-23T12:06:02.983+02:00</updated><title type='text'>The Fox</title><content type='html'>Recently, I've been having a hard time with&lt;br /&gt;Ariel Sharon.  The right in Israel has been&lt;br /&gt;mercilessly hounded and harassed.  The&lt;br /&gt;settlements, which are mostly Sharon's&lt;br /&gt;brainchild, have come under attack.  There&lt;br /&gt;have been arrests with no discernible cause.&lt;br /&gt;Synagogues have been torn down.  I've&lt;br /&gt;said a few unfriendly things over the last&lt;br /&gt;year or so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet, something isn't right here.  All this&lt;br /&gt;"surrendering" and monkeying around with&lt;br /&gt;people, and pandering to the snarling and&lt;br /&gt;bloodthirsty Arab terrorists doesn't seem&lt;br /&gt;to have any desirable political outcome.&lt;br /&gt;So what &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; really going on?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, I think there's no doubt that&lt;br /&gt;Sharon is a man who loves his country and&lt;br /&gt;his people.  If I had any doubts in that regard,&lt;br /&gt;they'd be gone after reading &lt;a href="http://www.nyobserver.com/pages/story.asp?ID=6881"&gt;Oriana Fallaci's&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;account in the New York Observer.  Ms.&lt;br /&gt;Fallaci always struck me as an excellent&lt;br /&gt;judge of character, and she definitely seems&lt;br /&gt;to hold Sharon in high regard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if he isn't the bandit he might seem&lt;br /&gt;to be, what is he?  A fox, maybe.  My&lt;br /&gt;friend Nix 2 has some definite thoughts&lt;br /&gt;on the subject, and I agree with her.&lt;br /&gt;She happens to be one of the most  &lt;br /&gt;astute analysts of the Middle East I've &lt;br /&gt;ever seen, and lately we've discussed &lt;br /&gt;this rather a lot.  I'll give you her analysis &lt;br /&gt;in my words, without further ado: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's do a little thought-experiment here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are a general who knows that you'll&lt;br /&gt;have to wage a bloody war sometime in&lt;br /&gt;the not-so-distant future.  But your people&lt;br /&gt;is divided against itself, and the enemy is&lt;br /&gt;walking among them.  What do you do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, you unite the people.  And with the&lt;br /&gt;heavy-handed tactics of the government&lt;br /&gt;and the GSS, the people are indeed getting&lt;br /&gt;to be united.  And spoiling for a fight and&lt;br /&gt;revenge, which isn't a bad thing if you can&lt;br /&gt;point them in the right direction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, get the enemy out from among your&lt;br /&gt;civilians - or, in this case, get your civilians&lt;br /&gt;out from among the enemy.  They're really&lt;br /&gt;hostages there, and a hindrance to what&lt;br /&gt;must come.  Soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now Sharon has gotten a few rather un-&lt;br /&gt;precedented things from Bush, the most&lt;br /&gt;significant of which is that Israel will not have&lt;br /&gt;to go back to the green line.   Most folks&lt;br /&gt;seem to have a problem wrapping their&lt;br /&gt;heads around the importance of this.  It&lt;br /&gt;completely breaks the slow progress towards&lt;br /&gt;oblivion in which the EU and the Arabs have&lt;br /&gt;been pushing Israel, and which they &lt;em&gt;thought&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;they had American support for.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the Arabs are frothing at the mouth &lt;br /&gt;now, and Chirac's face folds in on itself in &lt;br /&gt;immeasurable petulance, it means that they &lt;br /&gt;know that this is bad for them and good for &lt;br /&gt;Israel.  I wonder if the UN spasm firing off no &lt;br /&gt;less than three resolutions condemning Israel&lt;br /&gt;on the behest of terrorist states and entities&lt;br /&gt;was triggered by a feeling of desperation?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However that may be, the new fact on the&lt;br /&gt;table is that Israel has new parameters to&lt;br /&gt;work with - parameters that are bad for the&lt;br /&gt;Arabs and good for Israel.  Some, like&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imra.org.il/story.php3?id=20446"&gt;Imra's Aaron Lerner, would tone down the&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;significance of this - admitting that the new&lt;br /&gt;agreement does indeed constitute a valid&lt;br /&gt;executive agreement that does obligate all&lt;br /&gt;administrations, but also noting that such&lt;br /&gt;an agreement can be summarily revoked by&lt;br /&gt;a later President of the US.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, if I'm not mistaken, for a President&lt;br /&gt;to do that, he'll have to do it immediately upon&lt;br /&gt;entering office (30 days).  If not, a revocation&lt;br /&gt;will reguire a passage through Congress and&lt;br /&gt;Senate.  So the agreement would seem pretty&lt;br /&gt;stable, if a new President didn't attach &lt;br /&gt;paramount importance on getting rid of it.&lt;br /&gt;Which would seem pretty farfetched.  But&lt;br /&gt;if that is a concern, as my friend Nix points&lt;br /&gt;out, it's another reason for American Jews&lt;br /&gt;to vote to re-elect George W. Bush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not that I blame the Israelis for being a bit&lt;br /&gt;sceptical about what comes out of the US.&lt;br /&gt;America's record with its ally in the Middle&lt;br /&gt;East has been questionable at best, and&lt;br /&gt;some - I among them - would call it shameful.&lt;br /&gt;Bush has been the first basically honorable&lt;br /&gt;US president in this regard in a very long&lt;br /&gt;time.  Even Reagan, an otherwise honorable&lt;br /&gt;man, let blatant antisemites in his administration&lt;br /&gt;control too much of the relationship with&lt;br /&gt;Israel.  And other presidents were perhaps&lt;br /&gt;closet antisemites themselves:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jiminy Carter: "If I get back in, I'm gonna f*ck&lt;br /&gt;the Jews!"  And the Clintons seem to have&lt;br /&gt;been no slouches when it comes to Jew-hatred.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But in contrast, George W. Bush has shown&lt;br /&gt;himself to be a man of his word and a friend&lt;br /&gt;of Israel, not to mention a commander-in-chief&lt;br /&gt;who is willing to engage the swinish islamic&lt;br /&gt;terrorism in battle, where Carter and Clinton&lt;br /&gt;preferred backroom deals and accomodation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now then.  The clincher, for me, was seeing&lt;br /&gt;both men after the meeting.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://us.news1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/rids/20040414/i/r680463226.jpg"&gt;Click for pic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The body language tells a completely different&lt;br /&gt;story than the measured diplospeak coming&lt;br /&gt;out in the official statements.  This language&lt;br /&gt;says "Yes!  We're moving!  They're toast!"&lt;br /&gt;They look like two cats who have shared a&lt;br /&gt;bowl of cream and a plate of tweetybirds.&lt;br /&gt;And are still sharing a secret.  In fact, they&lt;br /&gt;look ready to burst.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the Arabs are screaming like a pack of&lt;br /&gt;wolves who have discovered that they are&lt;br /&gt;really chickens.  And that the fox is upon&lt;br /&gt;them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-108211673851925112?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108211673851925112'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108211673851925112'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/04/fox.html' title='The Fox&lt;p&gt;'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-108205266917842408</id><published>2004-04-15T21:41:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-04-23T12:10:36.610+02:00</updated><title type='text'>EuroPulped</title><content type='html'>I bet you thought that toons were pretty&lt;br /&gt;innocent stuff.  Wiley Coyote, Daffy Duck,&lt;br /&gt;Elmer Fudd, Superman, Yosemite Sam.&lt;br /&gt;That kind of thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, you're wrong.  Have a gander at the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http:\\www.captaineuro.com"&gt;European Union's super-hero, captain Euro.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In brief, it's the exploits of a merry (well,&lt;br /&gt;more like leaden) band of European Union&lt;br /&gt;"special operatives" in ludicrous uniforms.&lt;br /&gt;I wish I could put it nicer.  I can't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lead lamer... err.. superhero is, as the&lt;br /&gt;bright reader will already have gathered,&lt;br /&gt;"Captain Euro".  Quick rundown from the EU&lt;br /&gt;propagandist/child-brainwashing site:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Limited access - downloading restricted data.&lt;br /&gt;RESUME: Born ADAM ANDROS - the only child&lt;br /&gt; of a famous European Ambassador and a &lt;br /&gt;professor of palaeontology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Travelling the world with his parents, Adam &lt;br /&gt;learned to cope with the adult social world &lt;br /&gt;from an early age. As a child, participation in &lt;br /&gt;an experimental language programme, enabled &lt;br /&gt;Adam to become a polyglot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adam was investigating a series of bizarre &lt;br /&gt;archaeological finds when an incredible event, &lt;br /&gt;involving DR DAVID VIDERIUS, prompted Adam &lt;br /&gt;to take on the identity of CAPTAIN EURO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Captain Euro has taken a difficult vow: "To use, &lt;br /&gt;wherever possible, intellect, culture and logic - &lt;br /&gt;not violence - to take control of difficult criminal &lt;br /&gt;situations." Captain Euro is a diplomatic hero - &lt;br /&gt;the symbol of European unity and values.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- snip --&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's more of this senselessness, of course.&lt;br /&gt;Much more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Captain Euro's team is fighting a gang of&lt;br /&gt;international crooks.  Their leader is the nasty&lt;br /&gt;Dr. D. Vider.  This monster is a &lt;em&gt;ruthless&lt;br /&gt;speculator&lt;/em&gt;, and will make money &lt;em&gt;even&lt;br /&gt;if it means the suffering of others&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In short, the whole thing is a fascist sell aimed&lt;br /&gt;at children.  Poke around in there, and you'll&lt;br /&gt;begin to understand the pathology of the&lt;br /&gt;European Union, and that "the spirit of Europe"&lt;br /&gt;really haven't changed much since Hitler and&lt;br /&gt;Mussolini.  Fantasies of Europe as a super-&lt;br /&gt;power abound, as do rich helpings of Marxist&lt;br /&gt;creepyness.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The picture of an all-pervading state and &lt;br /&gt;obedient automaton citizens is probably a &lt;br /&gt;true depiction of the European Union's &lt;br /&gt;yearnings, but fer Chrissake, did these&lt;br /&gt;insufferable loons have to put it on display?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then again, maybe they couldn't help&lt;br /&gt;themselves.  Perhaps the urge becomes&lt;br /&gt;irresistible once a generation or so. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This idiocy borders on child abuse, I think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you visit the site, there's a contact link&lt;br /&gt;where you can give your opinion.   Maybe&lt;br /&gt;some sane voices would do the europulpers&lt;br /&gt;good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then again, maybe not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-108205266917842408?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108205266917842408'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108205266917842408'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/04/europulped.html' title='EuroPulped&lt;p&gt;'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-108177858567711221</id><published>2004-04-12T15:36:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-04-23T12:08:44.000+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Law?</title><content type='html'>Jews.  The people of the Law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or so it should be.  Which makes the&lt;br /&gt;Noam Federman affair that much more&lt;br /&gt;aggravating, not to say heartwrenching.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We don't usually expect a democracy to&lt;br /&gt;have political prisoners.  And we certainly&lt;br /&gt;don't expect a society built on law to&lt;br /&gt;imprison people without a charge being&lt;br /&gt;filed or the accused even being told what&lt;br /&gt;the charges are.  And we expect the accused&lt;br /&gt;to have access to a lawyer.  Yet, Noam&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=59654"&gt;Federman is being held without recourse to&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;any recognizable law.  It's been more than&lt;br /&gt;six months now, without charges or trial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entity persecuting Federman is an&lt;br /&gt;Israeli police body known as the GSS.  The&lt;br /&gt;GSS have been acting strangely for quite a&lt;br /&gt;while: they seem to have some sort of stake&lt;br /&gt;in proving that there are Jewish terrorists&lt;br /&gt;running around and being a dire threat to&lt;br /&gt;peaceful Arabs.  Something is wrong with&lt;br /&gt;this picture.  But there's more.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=52932"&gt;A while ago, a few former heads of the GSS&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;put their heads together and came up with a &lt;br /&gt;possible way of keeping Jews from going back &lt;br /&gt;and rebuilding their settlements after  being&lt;br /&gt;evicted by the government.  The government&lt;br /&gt;led by Ariel Sharon, the man who &lt;em&gt;invented&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the settlements, by the way.  The solution?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Why don't we just turn the places over to&lt;br /&gt;armed Palestinians as soon as the settlers are&lt;br /&gt;out?  That would certainly keep them from&lt;br /&gt;returning".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something is more than wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, back to Federman.  In 2001&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=641"&gt;a court handed him his thirtieth aquittal&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after Arab false charges.  No wonder&lt;br /&gt;the GSS now finds it more convenient not&lt;br /&gt;to bother with all these legal niceties - it&lt;br /&gt;just leads to that pesky Jew getting out&lt;br /&gt;of jail.  Can't have that.  The effendis will&lt;br /&gt;be displeased.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Federman was in the past an activist in the&lt;br /&gt;Kach movement.  You know, that Jewish&lt;br /&gt;terrorist organization which never seems to&lt;br /&gt;have been involved in terrorism, and which&lt;br /&gt;makes the Israeli legal system look like they&lt;br /&gt;copied half of it from Stalin's Russia and the&lt;br /&gt;rest from Mugabe's Zimbabve.  The founder&lt;br /&gt;of which was murdered, without the Israeli&lt;br /&gt;police seemingly being terribly upset.  His&lt;br /&gt;son was murdered too, by Palestinians.  I&lt;br /&gt;don't think the powers that be were all that&lt;br /&gt;upset with that assassination either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here we have a Jewish guy, in the Jewish&lt;br /&gt;state, trying to be working for Jewish values.&lt;br /&gt;For which he gets persecution (30 attempts&lt;br /&gt;to have him charged with a crime, by the&lt;br /&gt;year 2001), and prison without due process.&lt;br /&gt;By the "guardians" of the Jewish state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you figured out what's wrong with&lt;br /&gt;this picture yet?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's more on this steaming pile.  The&lt;br /&gt;other day, another Jewish fellow was &lt;a href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=60726"&gt;arrested.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was rash enogh to protest against Noam&lt;br /&gt;Federman's imprisonment.  That earned him&lt;br /&gt;a prison cell.  There's no telling when he'll be&lt;br /&gt;back on the street.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking at the strange happenings with&lt;br /&gt;Israel's GSS, a story from the semi-&lt;br /&gt;recent past (not from Israel) enters quite &lt;br /&gt;unbidden:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was this mental hospital which&lt;br /&gt;got into a bit of a scandal over patients&lt;br /&gt;rights being trampled, and rather badly&lt;br /&gt;too.  Some of them were long cured&lt;br /&gt;and due for release, some were really&lt;br /&gt;never all that ill and should never have&lt;br /&gt;been committed.  In the aftermath, the&lt;br /&gt;media had a field day.  Skit heard on&lt;br /&gt;radio:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We're talking to a patient who's been here&lt;br /&gt;for twenty years now.

In&lt;br /&gt;fact, he sounds downright antisemitic,&lt;br /&gt;claiming that the pro-Israel stance of&lt;br /&gt;President George W. Bush is fueling&lt;br /&gt;animosity towards America:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/printstory.mpl/metropolitan/2494559"&gt;"the prime source of  animosity towards&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the United States is the lack of progress &lt;br /&gt;in dealing with the Palestinian issue".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, this is a conclusion which the&lt;br /&gt;elder statesman Carter can provide lots&lt;br /&gt;of backing for.  He needs only go to some&lt;br /&gt;of the many thinktanks that has adopted&lt;br /&gt;this view: Stormfront, JewWatch, Aryan&lt;br /&gt;Nations, Overthrow, Vanguard News Network -&lt;br /&gt;the list is endless.  And the intellectual output&lt;br /&gt;of all of them seems to have wound its way&lt;br /&gt;into Jiminy's Democrat brain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, Jiminy is another democrat that&lt;br /&gt;fails to surprise.  Observers of global terror&lt;br /&gt;have long known that he is the person&lt;br /&gt;responsible for putting the insane mullahs&lt;br /&gt;into power in Iran,  which sort of names him&lt;br /&gt;"grandpa of islamic terrorism".  Of course,&lt;br /&gt;we cannot overlook Arafat's part of the&lt;br /&gt;parenthood either.  Both "men", after all,&lt;br /&gt;have received a Nobel Peace Award from&lt;br /&gt;the Norwegians administering that part of&lt;br /&gt;Afred Nobel's legacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder what Alfred would say if he could&lt;br /&gt;see his award being used to glorify these&lt;br /&gt;creatures of unmitigated evil?  Would he&lt;br /&gt;see the errors of his ways thinking that&lt;br /&gt;dynamite would make wars impossible?&lt;br /&gt;Would he at least refrain from giving money,&lt;br /&gt;gold and glory to genocidal monsters?&lt;br /&gt;Or would he just figure that they're&lt;br /&gt;dynamite customers?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The nobel committee has been asked to&lt;br /&gt;rescind Arafat's medal.  I could think of&lt;br /&gt;at least one more.  But of course, the&lt;br /&gt;committee will do no such thing.  War&lt;br /&gt;is Peace.  A dead Jew is Life.  Arafat is&lt;br /&gt;a Peacemaker.  Carter is, too.  What he&lt;br /&gt;did for peace isn't entirely clear, but he&lt;br /&gt;did seem to get away from his encounter&lt;br /&gt;with a &lt;a href="http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a4_019.html"&gt;killer rabbit&lt;/a&gt; without any blood&lt;br /&gt; being spilled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, what he did for terror&lt;br /&gt;is entirely clear.  What he's continuing to&lt;br /&gt;do for terror is crystal clear.  I wish he'd&lt;br /&gt;take himself, some luggage like Arafat and&lt;br /&gt;Cynthia "It's the J-E-W-S" McKinney,&lt;br /&gt;and his bodysize liverspot and go feed&lt;br /&gt;a cranky rabbit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-108158581046882813?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108158581046882813'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108158581046882813'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/04/blotch.html' title='Blotch&lt;p&gt;'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-108146242299197180</id><published>2004-04-09T01:21:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-04-23T12:11:24.466+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Fire Walk with Me</title><content type='html'>Watching John Kerry become more bizarre&lt;br /&gt;every day I've been struck with a feeling of&lt;br /&gt;what an ufologist might call &lt;em&gt;high strangeness&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- a feeling of things out of kilter, things that&lt;br /&gt;simply do not fit.  It's been years since I&lt;br /&gt;watched David Lynch's work, but following&lt;br /&gt;Lurch about you get the same feeling of an&lt;br /&gt;undertow, of decay and dark secrets and&lt;br /&gt;crawly things, and lies.  Or maybe it's just &lt;br /&gt;that the man has no credible direction, be it &lt;br /&gt;of opinion, past deeds or of faith.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, Kerry is supposed to be a&lt;br /&gt;Catholic - a state of mind (and for all I know,&lt;br /&gt;of body) that says you have to give some&lt;br /&gt;consideration to what the Pope commands.&lt;br /&gt;So the Pope wants Lurch to maybe not darken&lt;br /&gt;the Church door for communion, as long as&lt;br /&gt;he fights for the free availability of abortion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kerry's answer?  Basically "F**ck" you, I do&lt;br /&gt;what I want".  And then, he shows up for&lt;br /&gt;communion -  &lt;a href="http://news.bostonherald.com/national/view.bg?articleid=1658"&gt;in a Protestant church.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Lurch ever had a spiritual mentor, it might &lt;br /&gt;have been that fellow with the pointy hat and &lt;br /&gt;the slogan "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole&lt;br /&gt;of the law", what's his name again... Aleister&lt;br /&gt;Crowley.  Now, of course, the only thing people&lt;br /&gt;remember old Aleister for is that he once, under&lt;br /&gt;great ceremony, crucified a toad.  A small, sad&lt;br /&gt;and sordid thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there's Lurch on the Middle East.  Having&lt;br /&gt;already garnered the support of the mad ayatollahs&lt;br /&gt;of Iran (foreign leaders for Kerry), he's now&lt;br /&gt;fishing for more support.  Calling the cleric&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/4/7/104340.shtml"&gt;Moqtada al-Sadr&lt;/a&gt; who is leading a large-scale&lt;br /&gt;insurgency against the coalition in Iraq "a&lt;br /&gt;legitimate voice", he has sort of come out&lt;br /&gt;of the closet as a garden variety marxist&lt;br /&gt;sympathizer of everything anti-American,&lt;br /&gt;including islam.  Not terribly surprising really,&lt;br /&gt;considering his connection with Scott Camil&lt;br /&gt;and Camil's links to the PA and other rabid&lt;br /&gt;communist entities.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=worldNews&amp;storyID=4787864&amp;section=news"&gt;Now Lurch's pet cleric is threatening to burn&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;three Japanese hostages.  Maybe he's just&lt;br /&gt;exercising his "legitimate voice".  Or maybe&lt;br /&gt;John Kerry now will find him illegitimate and&lt;br /&gt;a terrorist.  His alliance with Hamas and&lt;br /&gt;Hezbollah didn't seem to do the trick, and&lt;br /&gt;Kerry seems not so sure that these&lt;br /&gt;organizations are terrorists anyway.  But&lt;br /&gt;maybe burning Japanese civilians will be a bit&lt;br /&gt;over the top, even for a Democrat presidential&lt;br /&gt;candidate?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or will he walk with the fire?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-108146242299197180?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108146242299197180'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108146242299197180'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/04/fire-walk-with-me.html' title='Fire Walk with Me&lt;p&gt;'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-108127036629801055</id><published>2004-04-07T00:44:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-04-23T12:12:18.826+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Spanish Creep</title><content type='html'>Spain is creeping towards a familiar posture&lt;br /&gt;for old Europe - the posture of the sniveling&lt;br /&gt;antisemite.  Fresh out from the new foreign&lt;br /&gt;minister &lt;a href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/412933.html"&gt;Moratinos &lt;/a&gt; is the plaintive squeal that the &lt;br /&gt;Palestinians have to be accomodated in &lt;br /&gt;order to have al Quaida go away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last time I looked, the Palestinian constitution &lt;br /&gt;incorporated a clause saying that Israel must &lt;br /&gt;(and will) be destroyed.  What Moratinos is saying &lt;br /&gt;is that maybe, if we would just let the Arabs have&lt;br /&gt;their way and exterminate the Jews, the terrorists&lt;br /&gt;might go away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, this kind of moral gangrene isn't all that&lt;br /&gt;surprising from a former EU "envoy to the Middle&lt;br /&gt;East".  "Envoy to the Middle East" seems to be a&lt;br /&gt;job best filled by moral microbes.  Or so the thinking &lt;br /&gt;in the EU and that other forum for terrorist-&lt;br /&gt;sponsoring states, the UN, appears to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the EU, rapidly turning into the 4th reich,&lt;br /&gt;is sliding into old sins as fast as their hairy &lt;br /&gt;little palms can be greased with Arab money &lt;br /&gt;and Arab oil.  Not that they need much &lt;br /&gt;greasing, just doing what comes natural.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What the EU needs is a moratorium on&lt;br /&gt;Moratinos.

I'll refrain from listing any &lt;br /&gt;of this old stale stuff about his neighbours&lt;br /&gt;hating him, or the good senator hurling invective&lt;br /&gt;at his Secret Service protectors.   Let's just say&lt;br /&gt;that if he had a pet rock, it would probably bite&lt;br /&gt;his hand off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, unlikable isn't really enough to disqualify&lt;br /&gt;from the presidency, even if Lurch may make you&lt;br /&gt;want to emigrate to Greenland just to get away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What should disqualify him, however, is his&lt;br /&gt;background.  Some of that background would&lt;br /&gt;seem to indicate that Kerry was aware of&lt;br /&gt;plans being hatched to &lt;a href="http://daily.nysun.com/Repository/getFiles.asp?Style=OliveXLib:ArticleToMail&amp;Type=text/html&amp;Path=NYS/2004/03/12&amp;ID=Ar00100"&gt;assassinate&lt;/a&gt; a few&lt;br /&gt;meddlesome US senators.  Kerry did not think,&lt;br /&gt;evidently, that these plans warranted blowing&lt;br /&gt;the whistle on the plot's author Scott Camil,&lt;br /&gt;another veteran and VVAW member.   Fast&lt;br /&gt;forward to present day: Scott Camil is offered&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=37577"&gt;a position with John Kerry's campaign. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is sort of strange, don't you think?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But instructive.  Contrary to "libertarian"&lt;br /&gt;wisdom pertaining to matters of association,&lt;br /&gt;who you associate with &lt;strong&gt;does &lt;/strong&gt;tell something&lt;br /&gt;about you.  Ask any old cop about "known&lt;br /&gt;associates", and I'm sure he'll spell it out&lt;br /&gt;for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To get the message of this particular&lt;br /&gt;association, you need to know a few&lt;br /&gt;things.  After the rather inglorious bit&lt;br /&gt;of VVAW history when they voted on&lt;br /&gt;wether or not to murder a handfull of&lt;br /&gt;senators, Camil went travelling abroad,&lt;br /&gt;and seems to have developed ties to such&lt;br /&gt;diverse entities and causes as the regime&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://iml.jou.ufl.edu/projects/fall01/Kahl/synopsis5.html"&gt;of Nicaraqua and the "Palestinian struggle". &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He's also listed with this interesting group:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.oz.net/~vvawai/CtC/vcc-spkrbureau.html"&gt;Veterans Call to Conscience Speakers Bureau&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few others on that list:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carl Dix, National Spokesperson for the &lt;br /&gt;Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP). &lt;br /&gt;Unique perspective on revolution in the &lt;br /&gt;United States.  &lt;em&gt;Yeah, I'll bet.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Randy Rowland, Presidio 27 Mutineer - 1968. &lt;br /&gt;Served 18 months in Leavenworth Military Prison. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joe Urgo, The first Vietnam Veteran to travel &lt;br /&gt;to Hanoi on a peace mission. Long time revolutionary &lt;br /&gt;activist. Member, Vietnam Veterans Against the War &lt;br /&gt;Anti-Imperialist (VVAWAI), and Activist for Not In Our &lt;br /&gt;Name Project (NION) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone get the feeling that Mr. Camil and his old&lt;br /&gt;pal Lurch may be just a tiny bit over the Marxist&lt;br /&gt;edge and just pining for the soviet fjords?  And&lt;br /&gt;that they miss the &lt;a href="http://zhongwen.com/mao.htm"&gt;Great Chairman?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me, I wouldn't vote for any of them.  Or come&lt;br /&gt;within ten miles of "I don't fall down" (X6) Kerry.&lt;br /&gt;Or buy a &lt;a href="http://www.theunionleader.com/articles_showa.html?article=35630"&gt;Heinz scarf,&lt;/a&gt; even if hand-designed&lt;br /&gt;by Teresa with almost no professional help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's with the wimmin of democrat maniacs&lt;br /&gt;anyway?  Teresa goes on a scarf-making-spree.&lt;br /&gt;With Monica it was handbags, I believe.

Which would seem to be sort of&lt;br /&gt;reasonable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, the WHO seems to be one of these&lt;br /&gt;organizations floating in the cesspool that the&lt;br /&gt;UN has become, which also has a blind spot&lt;br /&gt;when it comes to Israel.  According to the WHO,&lt;br /&gt;Israel has no capital city.  Gee, the WHO is&lt;br /&gt;in line with Arafat, Irineos and the late sheik&lt;br /&gt;Yassin.  Who knew?

That must&lt;br /&gt;mean that at least during the holiday, PM Sharon&lt;br /&gt;and his henchmen have no concrete plans to have&lt;br /&gt;any of them razed.  Right, Prime Minister?  I mean,&lt;br /&gt;razing Synagogues seems to be the new hobby&lt;br /&gt;of the Likud government with its slightly unsavoury&lt;br /&gt;non-Likud partners.   Maybe they hope that the&lt;br /&gt;islamics will see the light and reciprocate by tearing&lt;br /&gt;down the al-Aqsa mosque.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So many despicable people, so little time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-108114187286796381?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108114187286796381'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108114187286796381'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/04/random-irritation.html' title='Random Irritation'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-108085931656431349</id><published>2004-04-02T00:23:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2004-04-25T21:31:11.716+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Cops and Webmasters in the Holy Land</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other day, Israeli police forces raided the homes&lt;br /&gt;of several people suspected of being dissidents &lt;br /&gt;belonging to the Kach/Kahane movement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The article in Arutz7 is interesting reading, both &lt;br /&gt;in terms of what it tells us about the current Israeli &lt;br /&gt;regime and its links to European and American &lt;br /&gt;anti-jewish elements within the respective political &lt;br /&gt;establishments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Israeli regime is referring to the Kahane &lt;br /&gt;movement as "terrorist". However, finding terrorist &lt;br /&gt;activity on part of this group seems extremely&lt;br /&gt;difficult.  A quick scan through the information &lt;br /&gt;available froom the Israeli Foreign Ministry reveals &lt;br /&gt;some rather startling facts:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both Kach and and its offshoot Kahane Chai &lt;br /&gt;was declared terrorist organizations after verbal &lt;br /&gt;statements.  So much for free speech in Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the movement seems to have been relentlessly &lt;br /&gt;persecuted by the government long before that.  In &lt;br /&gt;1980, the founder, Rabbi Meir Kahane, was sentenced &lt;br /&gt;to six months in prison for "plotting a grave act of&lt;br /&gt;provocation".  On the Temple Mount, no less.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps he wanted to pray there, an activity it seems &lt;br /&gt;that the Israeli regime has expressly forbidden Jews to &lt;br /&gt;indulge in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what is it that qualifies the Kach movement for the vaunted "terrorist" label, in stiff competition with &lt;br /&gt;Hamas, Hizbollah, Al Aqsa Brigades, et al?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Israeli Foreign Ministry, deadpan, lists four "attacks", &lt;br /&gt;to wit:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Date: &lt;br /&gt;Dec 2, 1998  Organization: Kach and Kahane Chai  Attack Type: Knife Attack  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Target Type: Civilian  Location: Jerusalem, Israel Casualties: Killed: 1 &lt;br /&gt;Injured: 0  Number of Terrorists Involved: 1  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basic Info: An Arab man was stabbed to death &lt;br /&gt;not far from his home in Jerusalem. Jerusalem &lt;br /&gt;police commander Yair Yitzhaki said that the &lt;br /&gt;circumstances suggest that the murderer was a &lt;br /&gt;Jewish extremist. The victim, Osama Musa Natche, &lt;br /&gt;41, a Jerusalem municipality worker and a  father &lt;br /&gt;of six children was attacked only a few steps from &lt;br /&gt;his home in Abu Tor, a mixed Arab-Jewish &lt;br /&gt;neighborhood. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More... (you have to bring up this information &lt;br /&gt;separately on the ministry's site)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further Information on this Attack&lt;br /&gt;It was hoped at first that neighborhood police &lt;br /&gt;cameras had filmed the attack, but the cameras &lt;br /&gt;were not transmitting at the time. Police speculated &lt;br /&gt;that the killing was related to a previous series of &lt;br /&gt;knife attacks on Arabs in Jerusalem. Six Arab &lt;br /&gt;residents of Jerusalem have been stabbed, one fatally, &lt;br /&gt;in the past year in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish &lt;br /&gt;neighborhood of Mea Shearim. Most of the attacks &lt;br /&gt;occurred at about the same hour of the morning as &lt;br /&gt;today's attack. In October police detained an Israeli &lt;br /&gt;man with links to ultra-nationalist Jewish groups but &lt;br /&gt;failed to find evidence that he was involved in the attacks.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comment: We're left with some halfwitted speculation &lt;br /&gt;by a police commander. This is "police work" and proper &lt;br /&gt;grounds for a "terrorist" designation?  Don't jail this critter, &lt;br /&gt;just send him home and jail whoever hired him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Date: &lt;br /&gt;May 3, 1998  Organization: Kach and Kahane Chai  Attack Type: Bombing  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Target Type: Student   Location: Jerusalem, Israel  Casualties: Killed: 0 Injured: 0  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Basic Info: A pipe bomb exploded in front of the &lt;br /&gt;apartment of three Arab students in the Mussrara &lt;br /&gt;neighborhood of Jerusalem. A fire in the stairwell &lt;br /&gt;was the only damage caused. Israeli police &lt;br /&gt;suspect right-wing extremists. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;More...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was the second attack on the students. &lt;br /&gt;The first attack occurred several months before &lt;br /&gt;when an explosive charge was set in front of the &lt;br /&gt;apartment door. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comment: More "police suspects....".  &lt;br /&gt;Evidence and/or proof (even probable cause) &lt;br /&gt;seems to be conspiciously absent.  Hint for the &lt;br /&gt;good "officers of the leuw" in Israel:  if something &lt;br /&gt;explodes in the vicinity of Arabs in Israel, it's not &lt;br /&gt;an immediate given that it's got something to do &lt;br /&gt;with Jews.  But you knew that, didn't you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Date: &lt;br /&gt;Oct 24, 1993  Organization: Kach and Kahane Chai  Attack Type: Bombing  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Target Type: Embassy   Location: Tel Aviv, Israel   Casualties: Killed: 0 Injured: 0  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Basic Info: Two small explosive charges were &lt;br /&gt;detonated near the French embassy in Tel Aviv. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was no damage or casualties. &lt;br /&gt;A member of the Jewish extremist Kahana Hay &lt;br /&gt;movement claimed responsibility for the explosions, &lt;br /&gt;saying the attack was carried out to protest &lt;br /&gt;PLO leader Yasser Arafat's visit to France and &lt;br /&gt;agreements he signed there. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Date: &lt;br /&gt;Oct 24, 1993  Organization: Kach and Kahane Chai  Attack Type: Bombing  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Target Type: Embassy  Location: Tel Aviv, Israel Casualties: Killed: 0 Injured: 0  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Basic Info: Two small explosive charges were &lt;br /&gt;detonated near the French embassy in Tel Aviv. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was no damage or casualties. A member &lt;br /&gt;of the Jewish extremist Kahana Hay movement  &lt;br /&gt;claimed responsibility for the explosions, saying &lt;br /&gt;the attack was carried out to protest PLO &lt;br /&gt;leader Yasser Arafat's visit to France and agreements &lt;br /&gt;he signed there. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Comment:  Two small explosive charges &lt;br /&gt;were detonated near the French embassy.  &lt;br /&gt;Wow.  How small?  Something in the nature &lt;br /&gt;of cherry bombs?  At least a member of &lt;br /&gt;Kahane Chai claimed responsibility for this one, &lt;br /&gt;or the Ministry might have real grounds for &lt;br /&gt;embarassment .  I mean, no one killed or hurt or &lt;br /&gt;anything.  Come to think of it, that seems to be &lt;br /&gt;the case with the other bombing attributed to &lt;br /&gt;"right-wingers" too.  As it is, the Ministry seems &lt;br /&gt;so taken with this gem of information that they &lt;br /&gt;have posted it twice, so the count of "attacks" &lt;br /&gt;should really be three.  Oh well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the Kach/Kahane movement is a &lt;br /&gt;terrorist organization.  Having established that, &lt;br /&gt;the Israeli government have proceeded to enlist &lt;br /&gt;the international community in fighting this menace.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The US State Department has followed suit by &lt;br /&gt;placing the oragnization(s) on its list of &lt;br /&gt;"international terrorists".  Trying to find terrorist &lt;br /&gt;actions attributed to Kach/Kahane from US &lt;br /&gt;sources you'll come up with "verbal terrorism".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, the grounds listed by the Israeli &lt;br /&gt;government don't seem to hold water, but &lt;br /&gt;never mind that.  The US State Department &lt;br /&gt;seems to be crawling with antisemites on a &lt;br /&gt;default basis, only to be outdone by the French, &lt;br /&gt;the Germans and certain other European &lt;br /&gt;microstates best known for their national &lt;br /&gt;sport of Paedophilia.  Last I looked, the US &lt;br /&gt;State Department was actively promoting islam &lt;br /&gt;on its taxpayer-funded website, something that &lt;br /&gt;seems to fly in the face of the official line of &lt;br /&gt;separation between church/religion and state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second international body seemingly &lt;br /&gt;involved in fighting the "Jewish Terror" is &lt;br /&gt;Interpol, according to Arutz7.  When someone &lt;br /&gt;mentions Interpol, it often (but not always) means &lt;br /&gt;some European police force.  It might be anyone, &lt;br /&gt;but my suspicions lean towards the good old &lt;br /&gt;Germans.  And my suspicions towards the &lt;br /&gt;Germans when it comes to any and all relations &lt;br /&gt;with Israel are generally deep, black and not easily &lt;br /&gt;dispelled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll not tell you what to think, but it seems to &lt;br /&gt;me that the whole "Kach=terror" thing is a red &lt;br /&gt;herring.  On the other hand, there is no shortage &lt;br /&gt;of real terror in Israel.  Terrorists that blow up &lt;br /&gt;buses and restaurants, and use language like &lt;br /&gt;"Jews are monkeys and pigs" and all the other &lt;br /&gt;antisemitic claptrap.  Terrorists like Arafat, and &lt;br /&gt;Arafat's friends.  And fellow travellers who &lt;br /&gt;embraces Arafat and uses his language.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of these fellow travellers is the Greek &lt;br /&gt;Ortodox Church leader Irineos. From a 2002 &lt;br /&gt;letter by Irineos to Arafat: &lt;em&gt;"You are finally &lt;br /&gt;aware of the disgust and disrespect that all the &lt;br /&gt;Holy Sepulchre fathers are feeling for the descendants &lt;br /&gt;of the crucifiers of our Lord Jesus Christ, &lt;br /&gt;actual crucifiers of your people, Sionists Jewish &lt;br /&gt;conquerors of the Holy Land of Palestine"&lt;/em&gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;Now, there's a mothful straight out of a PA school &lt;br /&gt;book for you.  The "Church" is showing off its full &lt;br /&gt;glory, as rabid and antisemitic as any Dachau commander.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this person has his friends in the Israeli &lt;br /&gt;government.  From another recent Arutz7 article:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In an exclusive report, Arutz-7 correspondent &lt;br /&gt;Shimon Cohen revealed that Greek Orthodox &lt;br /&gt;church leader Irineos - a known anti-Semite with &lt;br /&gt;strong ties to Yasser Arafat - was invited to the &lt;br /&gt;offices of Interior Minister Poraz tonight &lt;br /&gt;(Wednesday) to receive his official letter &lt;br /&gt;of appointment from the Israeli government."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sneaking, under cover of night as it seems, &lt;br /&gt;into the offices of the most antisemitic/antireligious &lt;br /&gt;party (Shinui) in Israel ,to be salved as the leader or &lt;br /&gt;the most antisemitic religious body after the &lt;br /&gt;Church of the Creator.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's next from the Holy Land?  Civil war?  &lt;br /&gt;PM Sharon's greek connections finally coming home &lt;br /&gt;to roost?  The IDF calling in the PLO to help kill &lt;br /&gt;off those pesky "settlers"?  Stay tuned and &lt;br /&gt;prepare to be disgusted beyond human limits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6704655-108085931656431349?l=cachelot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108085931656431349'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6704655/posts/default/108085931656431349'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cachelot.blogspot.com/2004/04/cops-and-webmasters-in-holy-land.html' title='Cops and Webmasters in the Holy Land'/><author><name>The Cachelot</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704655.post-108076394140707056</id><published>2004-03-31T22:10:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-03-31T22:15:58.950+02:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Empty space so far.
