Mistrial


Clarity denied in Holy Land Foundation mistrial

By de Andréa

Those of you that have been following my articles about the so-called Islamic Charitable Organizations, as well as every other Muslim terrorist organization here in the U.S. that we stupidly turn a blind eye to---I have bad, but predictable news. We tried these sons of Satan in a U.S. criminal court instead of a military court so it was as I said it would be, a fiasco.

What a disappointment the mistrial in the Holy Land Foundation federal trial. What the public wanted was clarity and closure in this long-running case. Why we tried a case of treason, anywhere but a military court is outrageous. Forget trying to find 12 people, we are not going to find even 3 people that are cognoscente of what Islam is doing to this country.

What the jury delivered after 19 days of deliberation – and an additional four-day delay in unsealing the verdicts – was of course, confusion. So profound was the confusion that Judge Joe A. Fish seemed startled when he opened the sealed verdicts only to discover that the jury had left most of the counts blank. The jury seemed bizarrely unsure of what it had even decided. Small wonder Judge Fish declared a mistrial.

Family members of the five defendants in the terror finance case – in which the government accused the defendants of covertly but consciously raising money for America’s enemy the Islamic terrorist organization Hamas – were jubilant after the judge declared the mistrial. However, their joy may be premature. Prosecutors have pledged to retry the case. Four of the five defendants likely will have to return to federal court to begin the entire process all over again. Now this is exactly what Einstein was referring to when he said, “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result”… ahahah

The non-verdict on most of the counts was a serious blow to government prosecutors, who have had a decidedly negative record in prosecuting terrorist fundraising cases since Sept. 11, 2001. The Holy Land Foundation case was by far their most important prosecution to date. The feds tried to hit the broad side of the barn – and missed. Close observers of the proceedings like yours truly, saw this coming. The government tried, but did a poor job of making a complicated white-collar case of treason understandable to ordinary citizens who often seemed perplexed and overwhelmed by an avalanche of facts and data. As one trial watcher said, “it was like seeing his rural East Texas grandmother struggle through a graduate-level seminar in modern Middle Eastern politics”. This trial should have never taken place in a civil court.

Whether or not there was a conviction, evidence from wiretaps and videotapes, was condemning for the Hamas fundraising defendant, Mufid Abdulqader a Muslim infiltrator who had successfully infiltrated the Dallas city government, he was a Dallas city engineer who chanted, "Death to the Jews” – this was of course morally damning for defendants who claimed to be “humanitarians”. This is part of the Muslim deception that few understand; nowhere in the Quran or the Muslim faith is there any humanitarianism, benevolence, charity or love.

Moreover, the government introduced evidence showing how the infrastructure of many major U.S. Muslim so-called charitable organizations were tied together, and how they have their philosophical roots in the radical Muslim Brotherhood. terrorist organization that support Islamic terrorist training camps.

This newspaper's reporting, as well as the preponderance of the evidence, strongly suggests that the Holy Land Foundation was no more a charity than a Wahhabistic Mullah. Going forward, the government must change its flawed strategy if it hopes to prevail and try this case quickly in a military court where the prosecutors aren’t in bondage to civilian rules or depend on deceived jurors.

It doesn't matter how many facts prosecutors marshal together, if they cannot produce a coherent, persuasive narrative that a jury of 12 deceived people can understand. A hung jury does nothing to satisfy justice.

The intricacies of the infiltrating web of Muslim terrorist organizations in America (as detailed in Books such as Because They Hate by Brigitte Gabriel, Infiltration by Paul Sperry, American Jihad by Steven Emerson, Holy War on the Home Front by Harvey Kushner, Islam Exposed by de Andréa and other books on this subject) has served to make it difficult to track and expose terrorist activities by such groups. The federal government is to be commended for tackling this arduous challenge, but as I said even before the trial began, an obvious change of menu is in order.

THE BOTTOM LINE: It seems to me that we could intelligently take a lesson from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt when he, as distastefully as it was, prophylacticly interned the enemy of this country in camps. Now I know I am going to receive a lot of flack for even suggesting such a politically incorrect idea, but it is far better to step on someone’s metatarsus than to be stepped on by Islam, the enemy of this world. Politically incorrect or not, we are fighting for our survival, and so far, we are losing…

Turkey Enemy of U.S.



By de Andréa

Turkey; one of the largest recipients of U.S. foreign aid, is an ally to one of the world’s most dangerous enemy, Iran. Turkey votes against the U.S. in the U.N. Turkey would not allow the U.S. 4th Infantry to invade Iraq from Turkeys southern border. It does not take a genius to connect the dots here, and to understand that Turkey is not our friend.

Doesn’t being an ally of Islam make Turkey the world’s enemy as well? In addition, we, the United States of America, who is at war for our very survival against an enemy that has vowed to destroy western culture; is supporting our enemy’s allies. Now one more dot…AGAIN, WE ARE SUPPORTING THE ENEMY THAT THREATENS TO DESTROY US. Did I miss something here???

Does this really make any sense, U.S. ally Turkey and U.S. archenemy Iran have formed a military alliance to drive opposition Kurds, [these might just be the good guys] from bases in northern Iraq that they have used since 2004 to launch guerrilla operations against Iran, said Kurdish leaders at a secret base in the Qandil Mountains. Is Kurdistan possibly our real ally?

We really should learn to separate our friends from our enemy, this should be elementary my dear Watson.

I have even a more difficult time understanding the rational behind this kind of logic than I do comprehending the support of Hamas in Lebanon and in the Gaza Strip against the Christian Lebanese and Israel…well… maybe not a more difficult time. And how about the support of the Nazi’s here…I am sorry, I mean the Muslims here at home. I think we the people should declare war on Washington D.C. before we totally lose this country. But then, what do I know, I am just one of the common people like you, who are responsible for the future of this country…

Both Iran and Turkey have vowed to send troops into northern Iraq, but until now, evidence of active military cooperation between them has remained a closely held secret. Do we actually have an intelligence agency or is the administration just not paying any attention to them. I think the latter may be true.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has stepped up political and diplomatic threats in recent days, telling the United States he would cut off U.S. access to the strategic Incirlik airbase in eastern Turkey if the U.S. tried to prevent Turkey from sending troops against the Kurdish bases in northern Iraq.

Wow, Erdogan looks as if he might be sitting out on the end of the proverbial limb. The big question begging to be asked however---is our administration informed enough or do they have the guts to at least show Turkey our Chain Saw? Who is going to cut who off??? We supply 1/3 of Turkey’s economy.

“Iran and Turkey attacked jointly on August 16, 2007 against our forces inside Iran. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards attacked us across a broad front in the areas of Sardasht, Piranshahr, Shaho, Urmieh, and along the border line,” Xerat said, citing the names of major cities in Iranian Kurdistan where Kurdish PJAK rebels have been operating.

While those ground operations were underway, Iranian and Turkish artillery simultaneously began shelling civilian villages inside Iraqi Kurdistan from Metina, Zaab, Haftani, and Hakurke in the north, to Haji Oumran, Qalatdizza, Zeh, Marado, and Xinera in the south. Turkish artillery hit the northern villages, while Iranian gunners hit the southern ones. Iranian troops attempted to cross into Iraq through the mountain passes, but Kurdish PJAK fighters held the line. “The goal of the Iranians is to drive us from the border area,” Kurdish rebel leader Biryar Gabar said. “They want to turn this area into a no-man’s land, so they can use it to smuggle weapons and Islamist guerillas into Iraq to fight the Americans.” Whoa Haas, I think we owe the Kurds a debt of gratitude here.

He called the Iran-Turkey entente “an anti-American alliance,” not just an anti-Kurdish agreement, and said that it resulted from deliberate decisions to show the U.S. that the ruling Islamist AKP party of Prime Minister Erdogan has transformed Turkey into an Islamist state. Turkey is surely yet another prime example of the success of Islamic infiltration, which has been at work for the past 30 years. This same infiltration is surreptitiously going on right here on U.S. soil. Moreover, because of the religion of politically correct multiculturalism we have become too blind to see it, as well as the fact that we are blindly supporting the agenda of Islamic terrorist conquest all over the world.

In July, 2007 Iran offered Turkey an economic agreement to build a strategic pipeline that will bring Iranian natural gas to Europe, in defiance of a U.S. led effort to increase the economic squeeze on Iran. If these sanction violations are allowed to continue, it will no doubt result in a U.S. and Israeli war with Iraq.

During a press conference in August while he was still foreign minister, Gul defended Turkey and Iran’s joint action against Kurdish guerillas in Iraq. “They pose a threat to Turkey as well as to other neighbors. Every country has the right to defend its borders and take legitimate measures for its own security,” Gül said.

On Sept. 9, 2007, Iraqi President Jalal Talabani publicly called on PJAK and Turkish Kurdish militiamen to leave Iraq, or limit themselves to purely political activities.

Since the so-called liberation of Iraq, which has yet to take place, PJAK has maintained control of the Iran-Iraq border in this area, and prevented infiltration by Iran or al-Qaida-related terrorists. And we can’t figure out who our friends are?

The U.S. military sent liaison officers to meet and talk with PJAK in 2003 and again in 2005 to discuss Iranian efforts to infiltrate Iraq, but have not pursued discussions further, PJAK officials said. I can’t help but ask why??? This Iranian interference in the Iraq war is exactly what has caused this war to go on an on. If we would have helped the Kurds, back in 2003, and followed their lead on the rest of the Iranian border, as well as the Syrian border, the war would likely be over by now. But then, reason and logic may be just too much to ask of a tolerant politically correct government who is just to busy trying to figure out which of our enemies to support next.

“From August 16-24, 2007 the Iranians tried to cross the border along the mountain ridge line, but we pushed them back,” Biryar Gabar said. During the Iranian ground attacks, PJAK learned from its operatives on the ground inside Iran that Turkish officers were acting as military advisors to the Iranian troops.

Additional information was gleaned from the interrogation of an Iranian Revolutionary Guards soldier captured by PJAK guerillas who is now being held inside Iraq, and from papers taken from the bodies of 60 Iranian guards troops killed during the clashes.

PJAK fighters have killed 200 Revolutionary Guards troops and lost seven of their own soldiers and one wounded soldier since the fighting began on Aug. 16, said Biryar Gabar

“The Iranians had little experience in counter-insurgency operations, so the Turks are training them,” guerilla leader Xenat said. “Our friends saw Turkish officers coordinating the operations of the Iranian army in the Kelaresh area,” he added. Kelaresh is in the border region outside of Salmas and Urmieh, Iran.

“The Turks have been fighting a dirty war in anti-guerilla operations for 30 years. Now they are teaching this to the Iranians,” Xenat said. PJAK leaders said they were countering the Iranian disinformation efforts through political work on the ground inside Iran, and by attacking Revolutionary Guards units and Iranian officials such as judges who had sentenced PJAK guerilla fighters and political operatives to death.


Unlike earlier Iranian Kurdish guerilla groups, PJAK has integrated women into both its political and military wing. For example, on Sept. 10, PJAK launched a reprisal attack against a Revolutionary Guards base near Shaho, in northwestern Iran, which was coordinated by a female guerilla fighter, said Arsham Kurdman, the head of the PJAK women’s movement.

THE BOTTOM LINE: I hate to say this about the country I love but we have become deaf, dumb, blind and stupid. We are supporting Turkey the very country that has been supporting Iran who has been the thorn in the side of winning this war in Iraq from the very beginning. At the same time, we have been supporting the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas in their effort to drive the Jews out of Israel. We have been supporting terrorist Syria and Wahhabist Saudi Arabia, as well as supporting terrorist group’s right here in our own country.

And I am supposed to believe that we are at war against “terrorism”??? No one even knows what that means, who is terrorism??? It is just one of the means of Islam to achieve the agenda of world domination. We are at war with the Nation of Islam but we have yet to identify that fact. This is why; if something doesn’t shake us awake soon, we will eventually lose this war, because, as I have said so often in the past our Government dosen’t even know who our enemy is, much less, our friends…

Flag-folding recitations banned


Flag-folding recitations for vets banned because of religious content

Associated Press
October 26, 2007

RIVERSIDE,California - Complaints about religious content have led to a ban on flag-folding recitations by Veterans Administration employees and volunteers at all 125 national cemeteries. It all started because of one complaint about the ceremony at Riverside National Cemetery in California.

During thousands of military burials, the volunteers have folded the American flag 13 times and recited the significance of every fold to survivors. For example, the 12th fold glorifies "God the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost."

The complaint revolved around the narration in the 11th fold, which celebrates Jewish war veterans and "glorifies the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob."
The National Cemetery Administration decided to ban the entire recital at all national cemeteries.

Veterans and honor detail volunteers, including Bobby Castillo, 85, and Rees Lloyd, 59, are furious. "That the actions of one disgruntled, whining, narcissistic and intolerant individual is preventing veterans from getting the honors they deserve is truly an outrage," Lloyd said. "This is another attempt by secularist fanatics to cleanse any reference to God."

World War II Navy veteran Castillo said it's "a slap in the face to every veteran."
"When we got back from the war, we didn't ask for a whole lot," Castillo said. "We just want to give our veterans the respect they deserve. No one has ever complained to us about it. I just don't understand."

Lloyd and Castillo are part of a 16-member detail that has performed military honors at more than 1,400 services. They were preparing to read the flag-folding remarks at the Riverside cemetery when the graveyard staff members stopped them. “This even if the family of the deceased wants this ceremony, they cannot. “This is tyranny, pure and simple, America has become blind, deceived and oppressed, they get away with this because it’s just another small incremental step,” said de Andréa Op-ed writer of The Bottom Line.

Charlie Waters, parliamentarian for the American Legion of California, said he's advising memorial honor details to ignore the edict. "This is nuts," Waters told the Riverside Press-Enterprise by telephone from Fresno. "There are 26 million veterans in this country, and they're not going to take us all to prison."

Nacincik said that though the flag-folding narrative includes references to God that the government does not endorse, the main reason for the new rules is uniformity. "We are looking at consistency," Nacincik said. "We think that's important."
An American Legion commander in California says he and other veterans will defy a newly imposed ban on flag-folding recitations that include references to God.

Vets plan to ignore ban on flag-folding recitations
Hear the report
*********************
THE BOTTOM LINE: One important point that the blind, deceived and politically correct press failed to mention, is the fundamental reason behind this continual attack on Christianity in the U.S.-- It is not Atheism or the left wing America haters; we have always had those. These are the deceived enablers of a satanic philosophy, and unless we go after the real perpetrators of this destruction of America’s heritage and foundation, America as we have known it, will soon meet its demise.

This attack on American values and religions, especially Christians and Jews, comes right straight out of the playbook of the enemy of this world. This is the deception of Sharia law found only in the Quran. This is just part of the Islamic infiltration of the west, the United States of America and any free people of the world. The surreptitious incremental infusion of Sharia Law replacing all American traditions, laws and religions is part of the deception and preparation of Islamic Jihad in America. Connect the dots as they say, this all started, as Muslims began to become a significant part of the American populace.

Remember Christmas is not allowed in the Whitehouse, but EID and Ramadan are.

Wake up and STOP being deceived and used, to bring about the world agenda of Islam…

UNCHECKED


Infiltration of Islam into the U.S. Government is becoming more and more unchecked

This has now become so commonplace that even I am no longer surprised to read about yet another inroad that Islam has made in their agenda to take control of the U.S. Government.

By de Andrea

Anyone who has ever played a game of strategy such as Football, Chess or even Checkers, knows that these can be games of deception. While we fight a military war in Islam, Islam is fighting the real war of infiltration right here on American soil.

Are we waiting for the pin to be pulled??? The grenade is symbolic of the over 120 Islamic terrorist cells all over this country preparing, infiltrating, training, supplying, deceiving, and looking like moderate warm fuzzy Muslims just as they did in Lebanon and 41 other countries across the globe before militant terrorist jihad began. Then, when they are ready, and we least expect it, they will “PULL THE PIN.”

Defense officials involved in waging the global war against Islamist extremism are increasingly frustrated by the apparent failure of senior military and civilian officials to distinguish between the good guys and the bad guys. It could be because they are all bad guys.

They are concerned that community outreach efforts have helped legitimize some U.S. Islamic groups with covert or overt ties to extremists, a problem of infiltration that also is occurring at the FBI and Justice Department.

Officials said the Pentagon's problem was highlighted by a recent Marine Corps ceremony marking Ramadan. The little-noticed "iftar," or fast-breaking, was held Sept. 26 at the Washington Navy Yard in Southeast and was hosted by Marine Corps Deputy Commandant Gen. Robert Magnus.

Among the guests was Agha Saeed, national chairman of the American Muslim Alliance (AMA), a political group that has been linked to Muslim organizations that voice support for Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists.

Official Pentagon backing for the Marine Corps event and a similar Oct. 1 Pentagon iftar celebration was demoralizing, several Pentagon and military officials said..."During the Cold War, we at least had the brains to recognize Soviet front groups and didn't invite them to the Pentagon for vodka and caviar.” One defense official said... "Now, the Islamic militant front groups are [the Department of Defense's] guests of honor."

According to the Web site DiscoverTheNetworks.com, AMA is a political group that works to get Muslims elected or appointed to senior influential positions in the U.S. government.

"AMA is an active member of the American Muslim Political Coordinating Council, It also is affiliated with Muslim groups — such as the terrorists affiliated group the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Public Affairs Council — whose members have publicly supported Hamas and Hezbollah, or have been linked to the funding of terrorist activities."

A counterterrorism analyst on the Joint Chiefs Staff warned in a recent memorandum that U.S. government efforts to work with front groups for the extremist Muslim Brotherhood now on trial, had increased the danger that instead of countering Islamist extremists; the government is enabling and helping to legitimize groups that are potential terrorist and support groups here in the U.S. Will the warnings go unheeded?

THE BOTTOM LINE: Officials said Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England has been among the least concerned when it comes to associating with various known terrorist groups and their leaders. It appears to be quite obvious that the people at the top of our governmental departments, the ones that are responsible for all the decisions, are the ones that are the most deceived.

Nearly every Muslim Country that had once enjoyed some freedom from tyranny or as in the case of Lebanon was primarily a Christian Democratic Nation was infiltrated just as the United States is now. It was their tolerance and blind benevolence that caused their demise, brought on by the Incremental and surreptitious invasion of their governments. Then with the power of a majority, the unholy war of Jihad began.

We will soon reach a point where we will have to either take extreme and drastic measures to stop this cancer of Islam from invading every aspect of our culture, our society, our economy, our government and our lives, or if we miss that last opportunity as on a slippery slope it will be to late. We will be fighting Islam in our streets just as the Lebanese Christians did in Lebanon. Moreover, we will loose; just as in every country that has been blinded by the deception of Islam.

Remember: Islam worships death…

AMERISLAM




If The U.S. continues on this path of tolerant politically correct multiculturalism, which is just a deceptive code for enabling an Islamic takeover, we will be completely under the oppressive law of Islamic Sharia in less than thirty years.

By de Andrea

Islamic cultural jihad” is alive and well in America. Muslim leaders and organizations here in the U.S. call for the overthrow of our constitutional form of government and refuse to denounce jihad and terrorism, yes even the so-called moderate Muslims, while leaders at all levels of our government bend over backwards to not only accommodate Islam but affirm Islam as a “religion of peace.” Dozens of American Muslim organizations are co-conspirators in the ongoing terrorist financing trial of the Holy Land Foundation and the Muslim Brotherhood. These Muslim leaders and organizations are not the “extremist fringe” of Islam in America as our government believes — they are the mainstream of Islamic Jihadists in America!

Political correctness, as I said, is code for enabling an Islamic takeover. This is but one more illustration of why our efforts to organize the ACT for America citizen action network are so vital. This is an American Congress for Truth Organization started by Brigitte Gabriel. To help support the efforts financially, please click here.
Sharia law by the inch

Islamo-fascism: In a monumental nod to political correctness, the Empire State Building is lit up green in honor of the Muslim holiday EID, which will replace Christmas. This by the way is your new official Amerislam EID/Christmas stamp. There will be more of these coming soon at a post office near you.

The deception of the incremental separation of the “peaceful” warm fuzzy Nation of Islam from terrorism is nearly complete.

Six years ago, Muslims all over America and the world screamed, El Allah Achbar “Allah is Greatest!" as they slammed fuel-laden jumbo jets into two other New York skyscrapers. Six years ago, New Yorkers were worried about the Green Menace.

Now, for the first time, New York's remaining famous skyscraper will be aglow in green – the color of Islam – to mark the end of Ramadan, a month of intense Islamic renewal. Officials say it will be an annual event, to replace the tradition of the yearly skyscraper lighting for Christmas and Hanukkah.

Going green six years later.

What's next, Ground Zero festooned with crescent moons and stars? Something of this nature is coming, it is just a matter of time.

Political correctness is running amok. Last week, the White House held a Ramadan dinner for Muslim leaders and activists; we are adopting the religion of Islam even though we are still waiting for them to condemn Islamic terror groups by name.

To the delight if Islam, President Bush praised and even suggested that we all worship Allah. "I believe that the entire world, whether they are Muslim, Christian or any other religion, prays to the same God," he said, adding, "I believe that Islam is a great religion that preaches peace."

This supports what I have been saying for the past five years, “Bush hasn’t a clue who Islam is,” this is how powerful the deception of Islam is. Our President does not understand the most basic underlying foundation of the Islamic Faith.

With any other enemy, the understanding of your enemies’ religion may not be absolutely necessary but this enemy is religiously driven, and as a result, it is imperative that our leader understands what it took the European Christian Crusaders 300 years to understand.

A nice sentiment, but Muslims believe peace cannot be attained until Islam dominates the world. Moreover, they make up the majority of the Muslim establishment in America. We know this by the words they have been caught on tape mouthing to Muslim audiences. We know this by their radical associations.

But even more damning, is that investigators recently uncovered smoking-gun documents revealing that founders of the major Muslim groups, so-called Muslim charitable organizations in the U.S. were involved in a secret plot to take over the U.S. by using our religious and political freedoms against us.

This is the infiltration of Islam, While we attempt to militantly defeat terrorism in the Middle East they are surreptitiously and incrementally infiltrating our society and government here at home not to assimilate into our free liberated culture as immigrants have in the past, but to demolish our culture and to remake into the satanic image of Islam.

They call themselves Americans, but they view our system of government, our way of life, as an abomination to Allah. They have devised a scheme to sabotage our "miserable house" from within and dismantle it piece by piece, replacing it with "Dar al-Islam" — the House of Peace.

Then, and only then, will there be the kind of peace the president believes Islam represents today.

Ignorance and blind tolerance only make it easier for the Islamists to make inroads. Inch by inch, Sharia is creeping into our society.

We see it:
At airports, where authorities have agreed to Muslim taxi drivers' demands to build footbaths in public restrooms for Islamic washing and praying.

On college campuses, where trustees have agreed to demands by the Saudi-tied Muslim Student Association to add Islamic holidays, prayer rooms and footbaths.

In Congress, where officials have set aside a room for a growing number of Muslims to meet and pray inside the otherwise high-security Capitol building.

At Quantico, where Marine brass have agreed to build an Islamic center at the request of a former Gitmo imam who previously insisted on Islamic meals, Qurans, prayer beads, oils and other amenities for the terrorists held there.

At West Point, where Army officials have followed Quantico's lead and set up their own mosque for Muslim cadets.

In Brooklyn, where school officials agreed to provide local Muslims and Arabs with their own publicly funded madrassa.

In Detroit, where city planners have caved to demands to let mosques broadcast the call to prayer in Arabic five times a day, including the early-morning hours, noise ordinances be damned.

And on and on . . . until we, too, as Amerislam resemble Eurabia…

In the remote chance, that you might have a desire to do something to save your country “America” from the deception and oppression of our enemy “Islam” and get the truth out to your fellow Citizens please go to Act for America and support the future of liberty and freedom for your children.

Brigitte Gabriel




Presented by de Andréa

This is just in case some of you think that de Andréa is, just a little extreme, or at least a little paranoid or maybe you even think that de Andréa does not know what he is writing about when it comes to the Nation of Islam. Even though he has studied Islam, Middle Eastern philosophy and culture for nearly twenty years, written over fifty articles ten essays, one book called Islam Exposed, and is currently writing his second book on Islam called the Deception of America.
This article will expose you to someone that was born in the Middle East, raised among Muslims, fluently speaks and writes Arabic as well as three other languages, was wounded and nearly killed several times by her warm fuzzy so-called moderate middle of the road Muslim friends and neighbors. She even now in the U.S. must travel with very tight security because she knows the minds, hearts and agenda of Islam better than anyone else on planet earth.

In the resent past, I have referred to and written about Brigitte, but this time I am devoting an entire article to her. Brigitte is now an American Journalists that has written the book titled Because They Hate (highly recommended) and has been a guest speaker at many Colleges and Universities. She has also appeared on national TV and has been a guest speaker on many radio shows. In addition, she has spoken before a U.S Congressional Committee. She has several Bloggs and Islamic research and action centers, all for the purpose of informing a deceived America about the truth of Islam and what it means to America and the Western World in the future. .

Please be prepared to devote a considerable amount of time reading and absorbing what she has to say about Islam as well as watching a few informative videos with Brigitte, she is a very powerful and articulate speaker and is guaranteed to render you spell bound. Her Duke University interview of her teen years in Lebanon, living quite literally in a hole in the ground for seven years while bombs exploded all around, is nothing short of daunting. The Speech before the Heritage Foundation is extremely informative, please watch them all.

If you have never paid much attention in the past to what Islam is all about, or on the other hand, have learned all of what you know about these unique Middle Eastern people from the tolerant multicultural deceived alphabet soup press. In addition, you may be at least somewhat interested in your future and the future of your children. If this is the case, I strongly recommend that you take the time and take advantage of this opportunity to become among the few informed people of the real truth of Islam and what it means to the future of Western Culture.

Just in case that you don’t believe that Islam is already taking over Americas culture, read about the Hamtramck Michigan’s call to Islamic prayer. Better bone up on your Arabic and buy your prayer rug before they are all gone…

American Islamic jihad

It has arrived:
Possible war in the streets and on our college campuses

By David Horowitz

If recent history has taught us anything, it is that Islam is the biggest threat our country faces. Nevertheless, many Americans prefer to ignore this international campaign of terror by Islamic jihadists committed to world conquest. This is especially true on our college campuses, where radical professors and student groups, in an unholy alliance with pro-jihad forces, have shut down discussion of this important topic so they can continue to claim that the United States is the world's only villain.

The left wing America haters will do anything it can to support the destruction of American freedom of speech and the dissemination of the truth in this country.

To combat this campaign of deception and intimidation, the Freedom Center is organizing an Islamo Fascism Awareness Week for October 22-26. We've got a great lineup of speakers like Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, former Sen. Rick Santorum, Michael Medved, Robert Spencer, Daniel Pipes, Dennis Prager and others at campuses including Berkeley, Columbia, Penn and Stanford. With events at over 150 campuses, this will be the largest demonstration ever staged by conservative students – since these students are our future; this wake up call is what our country and especially our universities desperately need.

Not surprisingly, the left is also organizing - to kill Islamo Fascism Awareness Week and silence the vital truths it will tell. The powerful American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee supported by left wing extremists is intimidating university administrations all over the country into canceling the events our campus coordinators have set up. The Muslim Students Association, campus arm of the terrorist organizations, Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, is planning disruptive actions to drown out our message. Most alarming of all, the Revolutionary Communist Party and other radical groups have promised violent confrontations that put these speakers in physical danger.

The speakers have been threatened and attacked in their effort to tell the truth about Islamo Fascism. I'm writing to you today because we need your help to guarantee their safety during Islamo Fascism Awareness Week.

We have acquired a plan by far -left radicals in California called "RESIST 'Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week!'“ They claim we have a "plan to harass Muslim Student Associations and Women's Studies Departments, and silence anyone that questions the Bush Regime's official narrative." That is how they describe a major theme we want to get across to students during IFA Week - the oppression of women in Islam. They do not want our speakers to talk about the genital mutilation of Muslim women, the way they are stoned to death for adultery and murdered in "honor killings."

These leftists call me a Nazi and say "Horowitz defends every crime that this system has ever committed and is now preparing to justify even more, and to intimidate and silence any who would question or resist this." Do you believe people like that when they say their plan is simply to "politically confront" us?

I don't for a minute think their intentions are peaceful. We have learned that hardcore leftist groups like the Revolutionary Communist Party are threatening outright violence.

I know from personal experience what it means when these thugs take on those they oppose. Last year members of the Revolutionary Communist Party attacked me physically at two events in California, and I was saved from harm only by the quick reactions of members of the audience. We have seen them threatening and intimidating conservative students and speakers like Ann Coulter and Daniel Pipes in other demonstrations. I have seen the death threats that regularly appear on the email of Robert Spencer, a Freedom Center staff member who is one of the most perceptive critics of radical Islam.

We need to take measures now to keep the Revolutionary Communist Party and other violent groups from harming the people who are brave enough to go into the leftist strongholds and tell the truth about Islamo-Fascism.

This means that in addition to all the expenses of putting on the Week, we now have to hire security personnel to protect us during the activities and maintain a peaceful environment that will guarantee that our message is heard.

If you can, or want to make a donation toward the safety of these well known speakers and writers who while no one else will, are bravely fighting the infiltration of evil propaganda from this enemy here on the home front, you can do this here and now.

OUR INFECTED SCHOOLS








The infection in our schools are killing our kids

By de Andréa

Last Wednesdays shooting at yet another school had a better outcome, than some have in recent memory. No one died at Cleveland’s Success Tech Academy except the perpetrator as it should be. The two students and two teachers he shot are in stable condition at Cleveland hospitals. This infectious disease of insanity will eventually affect every family across this Nation, unless we do something to stop it. Some times the medicine we must endure to cure the disease isn’t always the most tasteful solution

Einstein once said about the definition of “insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results” More laws do not obviously, prevent more crime, guns however in the right hands, will prevent the massacres of the resent past.

What is depressingly similar to the mass murders at Virginia Tech and Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania and too many others was the killer’s choice of venue — that steadfast declaration of a gun-free zone; the school campus. Although murderer Seung-Hui Cho at Virginia Tech and Asa Coon, the Cleveland shooter were both students reported to have school-related grudges, other school killers have proved to be simply taking advantage; [including the declaration of a gun free zone] of the lack of effective security at schools.

The Bailey, Colorado multiple rapes and murder of September 2006, the Nickel Mines massacre of October 2006, and Buford Furrow’s murderous August 1999 invasion of a Los Angeles Jewish day-care center were all committed by adults. They had no connection to the schools other than being drawn to the soft unprotected target that a schools offer such psychopaths.

Our schools, public and private have become magnets for any random psycho whose thinking has run off the rails of which has come to be regarded as normal sanity.

If one would practice medicine or any other form of protection or defence against a perpetrator such as a bacterial infection the same way we ignorantly attempt to protect our children at schools, it would set us back several hundred years to the time of superstitions, this would now be considered reckless disregard for the appropriate procedure.
Over the years, we have learned to fight the bacterial infection should it attack, with anti-biotics or a weapon that is effective in destroying the dangerous infection, However, with the infection of psychopaths in our sociality we irresponsibility declare schools, (as if it were some kind of protection) a psychopathic free zone. Moreover, we even tell the psychopathic criminal not to worry, by making the declaration that our schools are gun-free zones, that our schools will not be administering a weapon to destroy the invasion of his killer disease

This kind of failed and ignorant philosophy is no different than if one would attempt to ward of disease by superstitiously hanging a sign around ones neck declaring ones body as a disease free Zone, and expecting because one has simply made this declaration, one would be protected. While there may not be any way to stop a bacterium from attacking us if it has the chance, we have learned to, in a timely manner to provide and use the anti-biotic weapon to destroy it when it does. We know the alternative is, just as in the case of the psychopath, that we could be facing certain death.

This latest shooting comes only a few weeks after the American Medical Association released a theme issue of its journal Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness. This issue is dedicated to analyzing the April 2007 Virginia Tech shootings, in which 32 people were unnecessarily murdered.
The authors are think tank university officials, trauma surgeons, and legal analysts who pore over the details of the incident, looking for “warning signs” and “risk factors” for violence. They rehash all the tired rhetoric of bureaucrats and public-health wonks, including the public-health mantra of the 1990s that guns are the root cause of all violence, and that we sometimes ignorantly buy into the misconceived philosophy of “if there were no guns, there would be no crime”. Which deceptively teaches that prior to the invention of the gun in the 15th century, crime did not exist. This is of course totally absurd.
Sheldon Greenberg, a dean at Johns Hopkins University, offers this gem, which has actually been proven to be the enabler for these criminal psychopaths: “Reinforce a ‘no weapons’ policy and, when violated, enforce it quickly, to include expulsion. Parents should be made aware of the policy and officials should dispel the politically driven notion that armed students could eliminate an active shooter” (emphasis mine).

Greenberg apparently is ignorant of such cases as the Appalachian School of Law in 2002 another homicidal Virginia student was stopped from shooting more of his classmates when another student held him at gunpoint. The Pearl High School murderer Luke Woodham was stopped cold when vice principal Joel Myrick got his Colt .45 handgun out of the truck of his car, chased down Woodham as he was on his way to yet another part of the school to commit more of the same and pointed it at the young killer. There are hundreds of these successful outcomes to an otherwise disastrous situation simply by fighting fire with fire...
Virginia Tech’s 2005 no-guns-on-campus policy was an abject failure at deterring Cho Seung-Hui. Greenberg’s audacity in ignoring the obvious is typical of arrogant school officials. What the AMA journal authors studiously avoid are on one hand the repeated failures of such feel-good steps as no-gun declaratory policies, and on the other hand the demonstrated success of armed first responders. These responders would be the students themselves, such as the trained and licensed law student, or their similarly qualified teachers.

If guns, would have been carried by qualified CCW permit holders on the aircrafts that were used in the 9/11 terrorist attack, the attack would not have taken place as we no it. Remember UAL flight 93, “let’s roll”… Think about it…
In Cleveland this week and at Virginia Tech the shooters took time to walk the halls, searching out victims in several rooms, and then shooting them. Virginia Chief Medical Examiner Marcella Fierro describes the locations of the dead in Virginia Tech’s Norris Hall. Dead victims were found in groups ranging from 1 to 13, scattered throughout 4 rooms and a stairwell. If any one of the potential victims at Virginia had, as the student in the Appalachian School of Law, used armed force to stop Cho; lives could have definitely been saved.
The people of Virginia actually had a chance to implement such a plan last year. House Bill 1572 was introduced in the legislature to extend the state’s concealed-carry provisions to college campuses. Nevertheless, the bill died in committee, opposed by the usual naysayers, including the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police and the university itself. Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker was quoted in the Roanoke Times as saying, “I’m sure the university community is appreciative of the General Assembly’s actions because this will help parents, students, faculty, and visitors feel safe on our campus.
It is encouraging that college students themselves have a much better grasp on reality than their blind politically correct elders. During the week of October 22-26 Students For Concealed Carry On Campus will stage a nationwide “empty holster” demonstration (peaceful, of course) in support of their cause. (Related article)

School officials typically base violence-prevention policies on irrational fears more than real-world analysis of what works. However, which is more horrible, the massacre that timid bureaucrats fear might happen when a few good guys (and gals) carry guns on campus, or the one that actually did happen despite Virginia Tech’s progressive violence-prevention policy? Can there really be any more debate?
AMA journal editor James J. James, M.D. offers up this nostrum: We must meaningfully embrace all of the varied disciplines contributing to preparedness and response; and be more willing to be guided and informed by the full spectrum of research methodologies. This including not only the rigid application of the traditional scientific method and epidemiological and social science applications, but also the incorporation of observational/empirical findings, as necessary, in the absence of more objective data. Got that?
THE BOTTOM LINE: I prefer the remedy prescribed by self-defense guru Massad Ayoob. When good people find themselves in what he calls “the dark place,” confronted by the imminent terror of a gun-wielding homicidal maniac, the picture becomes clear. Policies and declarations will not help. Another federal gun law will not help. Even calling the police usually results in more of the same, because when seconds count, the police are just too late and a bullet short.
The only solution is a prepared and brave defender with the proper lifesaving tool, in this case the cure is the anti-psychopathic cure; a gun.

Christian publicly tortured and killed



Muslims beat and murder bookstore manager
The manager of a Christian bookstore in the Detroit Michigan who was found dead last weekend was first publicly beaten and tortured by Islamic gunmen accusing him of spreading Christianity, according to witnesses


By de Andrea

You say I don’t believe it! Well your right; for now, this is a headline for the year 2030.
Do you believe in playing with fire? If you do, you know that you will eventually get burned.

Turkey said that they didn’t believe it, today Turkey belongs to Islam. Lebanon didn’t believe it, today they belong to Islam. Indonesia didn’t believe it, today they belong to Islam. Nigeria didn’t believe it, today they belong to Islam. Most of the countries in Europe didn’t believe it, and now they belong to Islam. If you don’t believe it, soon you will belong to Islam and this will be your story.

The body of Rami Ayyad, who managed the only Christian bookstore in Gaza, was found Sunday riddled with gunshot and stab wounds. Ayyad had been abducted the previous night as he closed his shop, according to a local Christian group.

Ayyad, a Baptist, was accused by Gaza-based Islamic groups of engaging in missionary activity. His bookstore, owned by the Palestinian Bible Society, was firebombed in April after which he told relatives he received numerous death threats from Islamists. The day of his abduction, Ayyad reportedly said he was being followed by a car that had no license plates.

According to witnesses and security officials associated with Hamas' so-called Executive Force, Ayyad was publicly tortured a few blocks from his store before he was shot to death. The witnesses said they saw three armed men, two of whom were wearing masks, beat Ayyad repeatedly with clubs and the butts of their guns while they accused him of attempting to spread Christianity in Gaza. The witnesses said that after sustaining the beating, Ayyad was shot by all three men. Ayyad was buried Sunday, leaving behind a pregnant wife and two young children.

Christians are warned: Accept Islamic law “or die”
Sheik Abu Saqer, leader of Jihadia Salafiya, an Islamic outreach movement that recently announced the opening of a "military wing" to enforce Muslim law in Gaza, said although his group "didn't carry out the Ayyad attack," all Christians in Gaza engaged in missionary activity will be "killed."

It was Abu Saqer's group that had been accused of firebombing Ayyad's bookstore in April. Jihadia Salafiya is also suspected of a slew of Islamist attacks, including firebombing Internet cafes and one in May against a United Nations school in Gaza just for allowing boys and girls to participate in the same sporting event.

Hamas in June seized complete control of the Gaza Strip from Fatah amid widespread fears it would impose hard-line Islamic rule in the territory, and that life for Christians might deteriorate.

About 3,000 Christians live in the Gaza Strip, which has a population of over 1 million.
Immediately after Hamas' Gaza coup, Abu Saqer said Christians could continue living safely in the Gaza Strip only if they accepted Islamic law, including a ban on alcohol and on women roaming publicly without proper head coverings.

"Jihadia Salafiya and other Islamic movements will ensure Christian schools and institutions are not teaching Christianity to be sure they are not carrying out missionary activity. All women, including non-Muslims, need to understand they must be covered at all times while in public," he said.

"Also the activities of Internet cafes, pool halls and bars must be stopped," said Abu Saqer. "If it goes on, we will attack these things very harshly."

Abu Saqer accused the leadership of the Gaza Christian community of "proselytizing and trying to convert Muslims with funding from American evangelicals." "This missionary activity is endangering the entire Christian community in Gaza," he said.

He said Hamas "must work to impose an Islamic rule or it will lose the authority it has and the will of the people."

The following is a good example of the Muslim “doctrine of taqiya” the deception of Islam, full of half-truths and outright lies; I call them “true lies”. If you cannot easily pick out the half-truths as well as the blatant lies, you are part of the problem. If you can contact your Federal Represenitive.

The West can learn from Islamic values
In response to the accusations, Hamas may impose hard-line Islamic rules, Hamas chief in Gaza and former foreign minister Mahmoud al-Zahar said: "I hardly understand the point of view of the West concerning these issues. The West brought all this freedom to its people, but it is that freedom that has brought about the death of morality in the West. It is what has led to phenomena like homosexuality, homelessness and AIDS."

Asked if Hamas is seeking to impose Islamic law on the Palestinians, al-Zahar responded, "The Palestinian people are Muslim people, and we do not need to impose anything on our people, because they are already committed to their faith and religion. People are free to choose their way of life, their way of dress and behavior." Al-Zahar said his terror group, which demands strict dress codes for females, respects women's rights.

"It is wrong to think that in our Islamic society there is a lack of rights for women. Women enjoy their rights. What we have, unlike the West, is that young women cannot be with men and have relations outside marriage. Sometimes with tens of men. This causes the destruction of the family institution and the fact that many kids come to the world without knowing who are their fathers or who are their mothers. This is not a modern and progressed society," al-Zahar explained.

The terror chieftain said the West can learn from his group's Islamic values.
"Here I refer to what was said in the early '90s by Britain's Prince Charles at Oxford University," al-Zahar said. "He spoke about Islam and its important role in morality and culture. He said the West must learn from Islam how to bring up children properly and to teach them the right values."

One of the main reasons that I say that this is America in the year 2030 is that today America as in the UK and the rest of Europe are promoting the agenda of Islam at the same time we appear to be defending ourselves aginst it. This is all happening because of ignorance; we are DECEIVED. Read Christians slaughtered by warm fuzzy Muslims

If there ever was a time to educate oneself about an important Issue, this is the time. World War Two against the Nazi’s is a good example, a war that probably did not need to take place, if we would have educated ourselves as to whom the Nazi’s were in the 1930’s. All we needed to do was to read Mine Kampf, the Nazi handbook for world conquest

THE BOTTOM LINE: Today we have an even more brutal enemy, with an even more powerful drive to attain world domination. Islam is the most dangerous enemy on earth because they have no respect for life, not even their own. They in fact worship death. Islams handbook for world conquest is the Koran or Quran, if we continue to ignore it we will be consumed by it.

CRIMINAL SANCTUARY





Newark New Jersey promotes crime while suing gun manufacturers for providing the tool to fight crime
Newark NJ has become one of the many sanctuary’s for gang’s, illegal aliens, child molesters, and murders.

By de Andréa

Newark New Jersey has joined the ranks of “Sanctuary Cities”. What is a sanctuary city you might ask? It is a locale that has passed city ordinances that prohibit employees, law enforcement, judges or anyone who lives in the city or state from notifying the Federal Government (ICE), or arresting individuals no matter what their crime, if they are in this country illegally.

Lest one might think that Newark is the only city in the U.S. that is a sanctuary city, not so. Newark is just one of 112 major cities in the U.S. that are identified as sanctuary cities. Moreover there are two States, Maine and Oregon that are sanctuary States as well as the entire District of Columbia our Nations Capital, that have adopted ordinances that allow illegal aliens to commit any crime without fear of spending a day in jail.

Why haven’t we heard about this? Because it is politically correct, multicultural, tolerant and so is the media.

Newark has also joined forces with New York City in their fight against the right of self-defence. Bear in mind that anywhere on the planet where guns have either been highly regulated or banned such as in school “Gun Free Zones” and in places like Washington DC it has become a haven for criminals especially criminals with guns. Newark SUES GUN MANUFACTURERS

As a result, sanctuary cities like Newark have become magnets for the worst illegal alien criminal offenders in the country, because Newark flauntingly violates a Federal law passed in 1996 that requires local governments to cooperate with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and now the Department of Home Land Security as well. It specifically outlaws cities or states that call themselves “Sanctuary Cities” like Newark and Washington DC.

A typical example of this blatant disregard for Federal law in the city of Newark NJ is a story of an illegal alien named Jose Carranza a member of the Mexican Mafia called the MS-13 gang, who among other things has ties to Islamic Terrorist cells in the U.S.

A few months ago, Carranza was arrested on multiple felonies including those for repeatedly raping a 5-year-old girl. The grand jury found enough compelling evidence to hold Mr., Carranza over for trial, with over 30 counts of unspeakably violent acts, many involving lethal weapons.

However, because Newark prides itself as a sanctuary city promoting this kind of vile crime, a Newark judge released Jose Carranza on his own recognizance. If you are now having unspeakable feelings of vigilantism, hold on to your weapon, it gets worse.

Once back on the streets of Newark this alien predator went right back to occupying himself with his favorite pass time…a gang member’s life of heinous crime…

In early August, after he had been forgiven and released by the Newark department of “in “Justice for brutally raping and killing a 5 year old girl, Carranza and several members of MS-13 brutally attacked and sexually assaulted and murdered three teens execution style by forcing them to kneel and then shooting them in the back of the head. READ STORY there was actually four teens shot one survived and is now a witness. I wonder what Newark is going to do now with a live witness to testify against a member of the “Newark Criminal Sanctuary”.

This is not the first of this type of crime committed by illegals, there are thousands, one such story is about little Zina Linnik I also wrote an article in May called …The Victims of the Illegal Alien War .

While this kind of crime goes on all over the U.S., Sanctuary cities or states are the only locales that actually promote and purposely enable it, moreover their illegal anti-gun-laws do not allow its American law abiding citizens to exercise their Constitutional right of self-defence. This not only violates Federal Constitutional law but also State Constitutions as well.

THE BOTTOM LINE: This is the time for jack booted Federal agents to pour into Newark and other localities arrest Judges, Mayors, Police Chiefs, attorneys general, Governors legislators and anyone else connected with this coddling of criminals and let them serve the sentence right along side the perpetrators of these heinous crimes. I think this would cause Judges and city officials to think before promoting crime on their watch again. When one is not held responsible for ones actions then there is no respect for the law, no matter what side of it one pretends to be on…

THE FATE OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT








The D.C. Gun Ban: May be going to the Supreme Court

By de Andréa

On September 4, the District of Columbia government asked the Supreme Court to reverse a federal appellate decision in Parker v. District of Columbia, 478 F.3d 370 (D.C. Cir. 2007), which upheld a Second Amendment challenge to D.C.'s ban on all functional firearms.

This should be one of the major issues of our time; few Americans are cognoscente of the true meaning or original purpose of the Second Amendment. The truth is that without the Second Article of the bill of rights all Americans rights are in jeopardy. One must be aware that the right to keep and bear arms is …“necessary to the security of a free state”... If it is necessary, then without the individual right we do not have a Free State.

The six D.C. residents who brought the lawsuit against the district, although they won in the lower court — agree with the city that the Supreme Court should revisit the Second
Amendment for the first time since 1939. A four-square pronouncement from the High Court is long overdue. The entire nation, not just Washington, D.C., needs to know how courts will interpret "the right of the people to keep and bear arms.” Sometime before year-end, the justices will decide whether to review the case. If the Supreme Court chooses to intervene, a final decision will probably be issued by June 30, 2008.

D.C. Mayor Adrian M. Fenty and attorney general Linda Singer, in their petition to the Supreme Court and in a Washington Post op-ed ("Fighting for Our Handgun Ban," September 4), raise four arguments in support of the city's ban. Their first argument is that the Second Amendment ensures only that members of state militias are properly armed, not that private citizens can have guns for self-defense and other personal uses.

It is interesting how Legal Manipulators otherwise known as lawyers can read words in a document that are not printed on the page or ever discussed by the framers of the document. Like magicians, they pull things out of thin air, in this case the word “State” as in “state militia” appears as if by magic just to support their agenda of disarming the citizens of a free state, for the purpose of rendering them helpless in the face of either criminal or government tyranny.

If one knows even a little about U.S. history, State militias did not even exist at the time of the assemblage of the Constitution. The Constitutional architects feared even a standing Federal army. The revolutionary war was not fought with state militias but citizen militias a bunch of rag tag farmers that General Washington finally whipped into shape. State militias did not exist until the civil war.

That contentious question has been debated at length on these pages. See Dennis Henigan, "The Mythic Second," March 26, 2007; and Robert A. Levy, "Thanks to the Second Amendment," April 16, 2007.

The city's remaining three arguments — two legal claims and one policy claim — have received comparatively less attention. First, declares the mayor, even if the Second Amendment protects private ownership of firearms for non-militia purposes, a ban on all handguns is reasonable because D.C. allows possession of rifles and shotguns in the home. Second, the Amendment restricts the actions of the federal government, but not the states, and D.C. should be treated the same as a state for Second Amendment purposes. Third, "handgun bans work"; the streets of the Nation's Capital are safer as a result. Let us consider each argument in turn.

It is okay to ban handguns as long as rifles and shotguns are permitted.

The D.C. Circuit, for good reason, called that argument "frivolous.” "It could be similarly contended," wrote Senior Judge Laurence Silberman, "that all firearms may be banned so long as sabers were permitted.” After all, D.C. does not ban home possession of knives or hatchets, not yet anyway. Does that justify the city's handgun ban? Could publication of cookbooks be barred under the First Amendment as long as restaurant guides were allowed?

Moreover, the argument is not only frivolous but a flat out lie, D.C. Code bans not just handguns, but all functioning firearms. Rifles and shotguns in the home must be unloaded and either disassembled or bound by a trigger lock. That's why one of the Parker plaintiffs, who owns a shotgun, had to sue in order to render the weapon usable in an emergency.

Not to worry, says the mayor. "The District does not … construe this provision [regarding rifles and shotguns] to prevent the use of a lawful firearm in self-defense.”

This statement is really telling of the ignorance of these District Leaders or are they just lying again to manipulate their own laws to make them read differently every time they are read, talk about a living document.
This assurance might be heartening were it not disingenuous. Once a rifle or shotgun is loaded, according to DC law, it is no longer a "lawful firearm.” Accordingly, D.C.'s pledge, limited to lawful weapons, is an empty one. A gun must be operative and loaded before it can be used in self-defense, in doing so the weapon becomes illegal. Moreover, any owner who waits to load and assemble a gun until it is needed for self-defense has waited too long. If the mayor means what he says, he should have no problem repealing the city's ban on home possession of functional rifles and shotguns, as the Parker plaintiffs have demanded.

D.C. is like a state, and the Second Amendment doesn't apply to states.
The District relies on an 1886 case, Presser v. Illinois, for the proposition that the Second Amendment applies only to the federal government, not to the states. Admittedly, D.C. is not a state. But, says the mayor, the city should be treated the same as a state when courts review its gun control regulations. Therefore, so the argument goes, the city is immune from a Second Amendment challenge.

That argument fails on two counts. First, none of the amendments in the Bill of Rights originally applied to the states. Beginning in 1897, however, 11 years after Presser, the Supreme Court decided that the post-Civil War enactment of the 14th Amendment was intended to "incorporate" most of the Bill of Rights in order to hold state governments accountable for violations. To be sure, the Court never formally ruled that the Second Amendment was incorporated, but even ultra-liberal Ninth Circuit judge Stephen Reinhardt has conceded that "Presser rest[s] on a principle that is now thoroughly discredited."

Second, even if states are exempt from the Second Amendment, the Constitution expressly grants to Congress, not a state, plenary legislative power over all matters whatsoever in the Nation's Capital. Because the Second Amendment indisputably applies to the federal government, it therefore applies to the District, a federal enclave. D.C.'s assertion that its city council, a creature of Congress, should enjoy an exemption from the Second Amendment that binds Congress itself is quite simply bizarre. If it were true, then the Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial in civil cases — which also hasn't been incorporated — would not apply to D.C. either. But the courts have held otherwise. See, e.g., Pernell v. Southall Realty (U.S. 1974).

The city responds that the Second Amendment is different because, unlike the Seventh, the Second is a limitation on federal power over the states. In effect, that's the collectivist or states' rights view of the Second Amendment. Thus, the District's claim of exemption merges with, and depends on, its collectivist interpretation of the Second Amendment. If D.C. is wrong about the Second Amendment, then its "no-incorporation" argument collapses as well.

The argument "Handgun bans work"; they have "saved countless lives."
Before the District banned handguns in 1976, the murder rate had been declining. Soon afterward, the rate climbed to the highest of all large U.S. cities. It also rose relative to nearby Maryland and Virginia as well as relative to other cities with more than 500,000 people. During the 31-year life of the gun-ban, the average, violent crime rate per capita in Washington, D.C. has been higher than in any other major city in Ameriaca.

In 12 of the years between 1980 and 1997, including all nine years from 1989 through 1997, the violent crime rate in D.C. exceeded 2,000 per 100,000, reaching a high of 2,922 in 1993, versus 1,481 in 1976 — a 97 percent increase in violent crime, 17 years after citizens were forbidden from defending themselves with firearms. Moreover, the murder rate climbed as high as 81 per 100,000 inhabitants in 1991; triple the pre gum-ban levels. As of 2005, the last year for which I have data, the murder rate is still 32 percent above the 1976 level.

Again the DC officials make it up as they go along these statistics are available from the FBI Bureau of Statistics. I certainly hope that these bunch of lies are all the DC lawyers have when they go before the U.S. Supreme court. If so, the Second Amendment will finally, after 200 years become an inalienable right as the framers intended.

Two non-partisan, respected federal government agencies recently examined gun controls and found no statistically significant evidence to support their effectiveness. In 2004, the National Academy of Sciences reviewed 253 journal articles, 99 books, and 43 government publications evaluating 80 gun-control measures. The researchers could not identify a single gun-control regulation that reduced violent crime, suicide, or accidents.

A year earlier, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on an independent evaluation of firearms and ammunition bans, restrictions on acquisition, waiting periods, registration, licensing, child access prevention laws, and zero tolerance laws, which only encourage criminals. Conclusion: none of the laws had a meaningful impact in reducing gun violence.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Based on those statistics, there is a compelling argument that Americans deserve an opportunity to defend themselves by possessing suitable firearms. But even if the data were to cut the other way — even if it could be demonstrated (which it emphatically cannot) that more gun laws lead to less crime — gun laws are not just about public policy. They are about the meaning of the Constitution. Hopefully, the U.S. Supreme Court, at long last, will answer this vital question: Does the right to keep and bear arms belong to us as individual citizens, or does the Constitution merely recognize the collective right of states to arm the members of their militias?

S.F. Promotes Sadomasochism





The Main Stream Alphabet Soup Media Ignores San Francisco Homosexual Event as if it is nothing unusual.

By de Andréa

S.F. Mayor Gavin Newsom and SFPD Chief Heather J. Fong have obviously accepted public exhibition of homosexuality as normal. In addition, the primary sponsor Miller Brewing Co. must view this perverted behavior as something good for our society.
http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=57845

Recently, homosexuals in San Francisco celebrated an event called the Folsom Street Fair. The organizing group claimed that 400,000 people attended the event.

The purpose of the fair was to celebrate "leather pride", a euphemism for homosexuals who indulge in sadomasochism, often called S&M. These people enjoy bondage, whipping, spanking and other perverted sexual practices, and not just in private but in your face. Perverted sex takes place in the public street with the blessings of the SF City government, as well as the protection of the media by keeping it a secret from the rest of the nation. .

This has sure brought a new meaning to the word “Fair”. When I was a kid, a fair was something your parents brought you to. Rides, winning a teddy bear by knocking over some bottles. Nothing ever stays the same.

People who attended the event reported that police backed off while the “Fairies” practiced oral sex, nudity, masturbation, and orgies in public.

My purpose in sharing this is to let you know that not a single Mainstream Media news agency reported this tripe. I guess it is because it is too ordinary especially for Sodom and Gomorra… I’m sorry, I mean San Francisco. Can you imagine another event, of any kind, which draws nearly a half a million people not getting a single minute or a single mention from Big Media?


Let the hateful infamous antigay and unbiblical extremist Fred Phelps and six of his followers show up to protest anywhere, and it will make the news. But 400,000 people show up at the Folsom Street Fair and the media completely ignores it because they understand it will impact negatively on the homosexual movement.


The big three television networks didn't seem to think so since they also were conspicuously missing in action.


On Sept. 30. Crowds flooded the neighborhood known as "South of Market" to take part in the 24th annual Folsom Street Fair. People from all over the nation -- even the world -– flocked to the Golden Gate city to celebrate and call attention to an aspect of their lives of which they are very proud. Conspicuously absent from the huge gathering in northern California were reporters from any major news agency. The Associated Press, United Press International and Reuters News Service apparently were all no shows. Even though the event took place in the Golden State, there were no reporters from the Los Angeles Times. If it were not for a few alternative news publications, no one outside of San Francisco would have an inkling of what took place at the Folsom Street Fair.


So what is the event and what exactly takes place? Be forewarned, the following descriptions are not for the faint of heart, even though they have been edited to mute the content. These are individuals that enjoy bondage, whipping, spanking and other unmentionable perversions. While the Folsom Street Fair does draw a few heterosexual sadomasochists to the event, it is clear from reports that the overwhelming number celebrating were homosexuals –- mostly male.



The most detailed report of the event came from Pink News, an organization that describes itself as "Europe's largest gay news service." "SFPD adopted a distinctly relaxed approach to this year's Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco," Pink News observed, "taking little notice of the hundreds of men baring their genitals on every street corner."


According to Pink News, there were orgies in the street, drawing "laughs and photographs from curious onlookers but no police action whatsoever.” Homosexual men and women walked down the street, completely naked, performing sex acts, the website reported. Sounds like a wonderful event, doesn't it?


If the truth of what took place in the streets of San Francisco on Sept. 30 were broadcast from sea to shining sea, the "homosexual rights" movement would suffer a significant setback. If grassroots Americans saw homosexuals blatantly flaunting their sexuality in public, they would be appalled. Make no mistake about it: America's major news organizations are complicit in promoting homosexuality. Hence, they chose to act as if the Folsom Street Fair did not even happen.



Even a bit of controversy did not cause the major news groups -- apart from a few conservative talk show hosts -- to give the event any attention. This year's Folsom Street Fair official promotional poster featured a parody of Da Vinci's Last Supper with Jesus and his disciples replaced by costumed sadomasochists with sex toys on the table.Two conservative organizations -- Concerned Women for America and the Catholic League -- both called attention to the poster. That led to an additional controversy over Miller Brewing Company, one of the fair's major sponsors. While Miller did not pull its money from the event, it did instruct the fair's organizers to remove its logo from the poster. Even with two major public policy groups calling attention to the event and its promotion, no major news organization, with the exception of Fox News, made any reference to the controversy.



THE BOTTOM LINE: For the irresponsible freedom of expression folks that say, well if it is offensive to you, just turn it off, or don’t go see that movie. I have a question, how does one turn off a public street? Why anyone would want to go to a place like San Francisco much less want to live there, is a mystery to me. Is it possible that these dope smoking perverted animals of Satan are the only ones left in SF.? This once beautiful City by the bay is a disgrace not only to California and America, but also to the rest of the world as well as to the human race.
