Selflessness -- Core Of All Major World Religions -- Has Neuropsychological Connection
ScienceDaily (Dec. 22, 2008) —
"All spiritual experiences are based in the brain.......according to a University of Missouri neuropsychologist.
"People with these selfless spiritual experiences also are more psychologically healthy, especially if they have positive beliefs that there is a God or higher power who loves them, Johnstone said."

Hell Freezes Over
Acording to "Investor's Business Daily", "The mean global temperature, at least measured by satellite, is the same as it was in the year 1980. .....
"Global temperatures stopped rising after 1998 and have plummeted in the last two years by more than 0.5 degrees Celsius".
Have any of you noticed that the media, and those that pushed the "Global Warming"
scare, no long refer to GW as GW? They apparently have read the facts as they roll in and have decided to cover their derrieres by changing the language. Now they refer to it as "Climate change". This term was borrowed from the late 1950 and early 1960s when fear that Atomic bomb testing over Arizona was "changing" the climate in the direction of a new Ice Age. Let this be food for thought.

Ford Assembly Plant In Brazil
This post came to me as an email from a friend. I rarely post emails, but in this case, since the topic is so very current, I'm breaking my own rule.
Read it below.
------------------------------------
"One look at this and you will be able to tell why there will probably never be another assembly plant built in the USA . It will also point out why more assembly plants will go offshore.
"Do not be fooled into thinking that Ford, GM, and Chrysler are going to go under. They will survive , but their assembly operations in the US likely won't -- whether we provide a bailout or not.
"And keep in mind that a huge percentage of the cars sold in the USA are made in the USA today -- not just by Ford, GM, and Chrysler -- but by Toyota , Honda, and many of the rest. They are built by American workers and they are being profitable. Why, you must ask? Because they are non-union operations and do not have the UAW hanging around their necks like large ship anchors.

Geert Wilders in Jerusalem “The Jihad against Israel is the Jihad against the West.”
Andrew Bostom, posted this not long, but not short either, speech on his blog today, December 14, 2008. The speech was given by Geert Wilders, seen in the picture above, who was the creator of the short documentary concerning the Islamification of the EU (Europe) entitled "Fitna". Most of us will remember it since it had spread like wild fire this last summer after it had been banned and taken down from Google and YouTube: it's back on both sites now. The ban had been, as I remember, a knee jerk reaction to Jehadist personal threats on the personnel at the two sites as well as global mayhem.
It was the Aish.com and IsraelNationalNews.com (INN, aka Arutz 7) web sites that finally took up the gauntlet and posted the short documentary. It rocked the Internet around the world. Now, Geert Wilders gave a speech in Jerusalem at the invitation of MK, Dr.Arieh Eldad, now chairman of the Hatikvah party in Israel. This was a forum on the new effort by Hatkivah to counter the Israeli left in regard to the true danger that Islam represents to Israel: not an issue of land, but of ideology and demography.
The speech is most enlightening and can be read HERE.
Fitna, the documentary can be seen HERE.

New Kastners. New Holocaust.
"Holocaust education among gentiles is counterproductive.The majority of them would not volunteer to murder Jews or press for such murder. If pushed by an anti-Semitic regime, almost all of them would join the murder despite any Holocaust education.....
"Holocaust education is detrimental tactically because Holocaust sets a benchmark for Jewish suffering......
"Israel now is as doomed as any Polish ghetto....."
"It will take two centuries for the radiation in Holy Land to come down to normal."

Constitutional Crisis Could Result in Loss of People’s Sovereignty, Says Hillsdale College President
"- A new political party devoted to the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution is needed to help restore representative government at a time when the people’s sovereignty, their title to rule, is in danger of being lost...Under the guise of education, academic elites have been engaged in social engineering that is at odds with the American principles of limited government and individual liberty, Arnn said.....
“If we cut ourselves off from that thing [the Constitution], which has won the loyalty of American people for 200 years and put ourselves in the posture that it was a mistake to begin with, then we cast ourselves into a void,” said Arnn, “and think of the intellectual climate today, what that will do if we start over.”
Is this just "voice crying in the wilderness"? Click HERE.
Former Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac CEO’s: ‘It was the Market’s Fault’
"The past heads of now-disgraced mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pleaded their collective innocence before Congress, claiming that neither they nor their companies had anything to do with the nation’s current economic woes.....
"Richard Syron, CEO of Freddie Mac from 2003 to 2008.....said that Freddie and Fannie were forced into the sub-prime mortgage market, arguing that they wouldn’t have been able to meet their Congressional mandates if they hadn’t been involved.... Freddie needed to participate in order to carry out its public mission,” Syron claimed....
"Franklin Raines, CEO of Fannie Mae from 1998-2004....expressed similar sentiments,.... “If anything, Fannie Mae played catch-up to the banks and investment banks who drove the securitization of the most toxic sub-prime mortgages,” he said.....
"Rep. Christopher Shays (R-Conn.) reacted harshly to the CEOs’ claims" and stated "“That’s just bull****,”

Four Big Lies about the Big Three Automakers
"As the nation inches closer to an unprecedented investment in private industry,....
"Whatever the total, a number of financial experts say it would be money better left unspent until the Big Three and their supporters agree to level with the American taxpayers. Until the car makers can offer convincing proof that they will be able to produce cars at a reasonable price that customers will want to buy, here are four of the biggest whoppers they are relying on to get a massive infusion of American tax dollars" Read them HERE.

The Lessons of Mumbay
"The first lesson of the attacks has already been misunderstood: this is not a criminal justice issue; it is war. This is not a new issue, but the lesson has yet to be learned......
"The attackers used a hybrid method of both guerrilla and terrorist tactics....
"The Mumbay attacks provide us with a glimpse of the terrorist vision of the future. For those who believed that terrorism was a means of improving a negotiating position ....., Mumbay should help them realize that this conflict is neither limited nor over peripheral issues. It is looking more and more like total war with each attack."

The Case for Skepticism on Global Warming’
This issue may have already drooped dead in the water given the present world economic concerns and "bail outs", but on January 25, 2005, Michael Crichton - author of Jurassic Park et al - gave a major address to the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. regarding his criticisms of the so called "global warming" scenarios. If you need a bio on him, might I suggest, on line, this.
"He reviews why claims for catastrophic warming arouse doubt; why reduced CO2 is vastly more difficult than we are being told; and why we are morally unjustified to spend vast sums on this speculative issue when around the world people are dying of starvation and disease."
This is not a short read, but it's not a book either. If the issue is of interest to you from either the "right" or the "left", then it will provide you with a great deal of "food for the thought". (Spinach any one?).

The Insane Rage of the Same-Sex Marriage Mob
"Before Election Day, national media handwringers forged a wildly popular narrative: The right was, in the words of New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, gripped by "insane rage.
"But when the GOP took a beating on Nov. 4, no mass protests ensued.
In fact, in the wake of campaign 2008 there's only one angry mob gripped by "insane rage": left-wing same-sex marriage activists."

The Unity Fantasy
"But don't you see Obama has the potential to be a unifying force," he said. "He could bring the country together, the way Reagan did to win the Cold War."

the Eternal Jew - German Nazi Propaganda Video
This is an incredibly brilliant Nazi propaganda video (six 9 ½ min. sigmts, and one 3min. segmt.). It’s based on some of the ideas of “The Protocols of the Zion” mythology. Seeing one or two segments will be enough to give you a good idea as to how effective Nazi propaganda was in inciting hate of the Jew in Germany and much of Europe.
At the same time, if you watch all 7 segments, you are bound to see the duplicity of the propaganda argument that is presented.
Interestingly enough, it appears to have been posted on YouTube by a White Supremacist Skinhead not realizing how important the video actually is for documenting Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda.
This video is not to be overlooked, so you can access it HERE.

The Third Jihad- the Video
What is The Third Jihad?
The Third Jihad exposes the war the media is not telling you about.
It reveals the enemy our government is too afraid to name.
"One person who is not afraid to tell you the truth is Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a Muslim American and former physician to the US Congress.
After the FBI releases a radical Islamist manifesto describing how to destroy America from within, Dr. Jasser decides to investigate.
The Third Jihad is about what he discovered.
Interviews are conducted with radical Islamists in the US and the leaders trying to stop them, such as Rudy Giuliani, Clinton CIA Director Jim Woolsey, NYC Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, Senator Joe Lieberman, former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, and former terrorist group member Tawfik Hamid.'
Watch and evaluate for yourself this "30 Minute Version of The Third Jihad" which is not to be expected in the future, but is with us right now.
It will blow your socks off. See it HERE.

Saudi Cleric: Muslim Women Should Only Reveal One Eye in Public
"A new fatwa (Islamic edict) issued by a Muslim cleric on the al-Majd satellite television channel has commanded Muslim women not only to cover ....., but also to cover one of their eyes......
"Saudi women are ranked as the most deprived and devoid of rights in Muslim society."
Why not just cover both eyes, and issue every Saudi women binocular-cameras for inside their head covers? Wouldn't that solve the issue of the "lustful, sexually craven" Saudi males out on the streets of Riyadh?
It's obvious that in Saudi culture, the men are seen as the sexual victims to their natural drives, and the women as the evil sexual sirens that drive the men MAD.

Whose to Blame....?
From the Lberal FactCheck.org, their quote from the Conservative The Economist.com
"The Real Deal
So who is to blame? There's plenty of blame to go around, and it doesn't fasten only on one party or even mainly on what Washington did or didn't do. As The Economist magazine noted recently, the problem is one of "layered irresponsibility ... with hard-working homeowners and billionaire villains each playing a role." Here's a partial list of those alleged to be at fault:
The Federal Reserve, which slashed interest rates after the dot-com bubble burst, making credit cheap.
Home buyers, who took advantage of easy credit to bid up the prices of homes excessively.
Congress, which continues to support a mortgage tax deduction that gives consumers a tax incentive to buy more expensive houses.
Real estate agents, most of whom work for the sellers rather than the buyers and who earned higher commissions from selling more expensive homes.
The Clinton administration, which pushed for less stringent credit and downpayment requirements for working- and middle-class families.
Mortgage brokers, who offered less-credit-worthy home buyers subprime, adjustable rate loans with low initial payments, but exploding interest rates.
Former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, who in 2004, near the peak of the housing bubble, encouraged Americans to take out adjustable rate mortgages.
Wall Street firms, who paid too little attention to the quality of the risky loans that they bundled into Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS), and issued bonds using those securities as collateral.
The Bush administration, which failed to provide needed government oversight of the increasingly dicey mortgage-backed securities market.
An obscure accounting rule called mark-to-market, which can have the paradoxical result of making assets be worth less on paper than they are in reality during times of panic.
Collective delusion, or a belief on the part of all parties that home prices would keep rising forever, no matter how high or how fast they had already gone up.
The U.S. economy is enormously complicated. Screwing it up takes a great deal of cooperation. Claiming that a single piece of legislation -Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005- was responsible for (or could have averted) the crisis is just political grandstanding. We have no advice to offer on how best to solve the financial crisis. But these sorts of partisan caricatures can only make the task more difficult.

Palin Glows While Biden Lies His Butt Off
The Vice Presidential Debate between Biden and Palin, will be seen as a win for whichever candidate the viewers supports and as influenced by the punsters afterwords on the channels or stations they tuned to.
The reality is that while Biden is the "Old Pro", he hasn't changed his style much, even after being coached by his party handlers, he shot from the hip at least 22 times and counting. While Palin also made some errors, she had to come by the information as a student and not as one who lived throuugh much of the facts as seen from Washington. Biden on the other hand has been in the Senate for over 35 years and should be familiar with the FACTS as a matter of routine.
Here are three separate lists of lies and errors that both Biden and Palin made. Make a numbers list for yourself and see who made the most lies by a long shot. Also determine for yourself who has been shown to be the "quick learner".
The first can be read HERE.
The second, which lists only 14 lies/erros, can be read HERE.
The third at FactCheck.org is HERE.

Genetics of the Jews
By NICHOLAS WADE
"With a new technique based on the male or Y chromosome, biologists have traced the diaspora of Jewish populations from the dispersals that began in 586 B.C. to the modern communities of Europe and the Middle East.
"The analysis provides genetic witness" against any claim by any Arab or non-Semitic group that today's Jews are not indigenous to the Middle East, much less to the Land of Israel.
The article is an update to prior research along the same line and was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The Enemy - Politicians • US & Global Policy • Iranian Threat
"Identifying the enemy is a precondition of fighting and winning any war—and the United States and Israel are at war with the same enemy. Indeed, the strategic issue of the presidential election, the issue that most clearly divides Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain, is precisely their different views of the enemy.'

Who Serves in the U.S. Military? The Demographics of Enlisted Troops and Officers
"Who serves in the active-duty ranks of the U.S. all-volunteer military? Conventional wisdom holds that military service disproportionately attracts minorities and men and women from disadvantaged backgrounds. Many believe that troops enlist because they have few options, not because they want to serve their country....
"This report compares military volunteers to the civilian population on four demographic characteristics: household income, education level, racial and ethnic background, and regional origin."

‘Obama Better for Israel than McCain' in the Long Run?
this is rather amusing: it's the battle between two of Conservative Media's titans as to whether McCain or Obama would be best for the U.S., Israel and the World.
The article lays out the position of "columnist and WorldNetDaily founder Joseph Farah" (very conservative) in support for Obama, and "Caroline Glick, celebrated Jerusalem columnist and now managing editor of The Jerusalem Post", who "strongly supports McCain".
The arguments between these two titans is most interesting, and MOST UNUSUAL. those of you who remember the Carter years will especially get a surprise out of this.

ADL Condemns Evangelical Conversion Drive
In a statement issued by the ADL's "national director Abraham H. Foxman and ADL director of interfaith policy Rabbi Eric J. Greenberg' to JPost, we read that "The New York-based Anti-Defamation League on Sunday denounced a call by a Canadian-based international evangelical Christian organization to target European Jews for conversion, calling it a "serious affront to the Jewish people" and "disrespectful" to Judaism........
"To issue this declaration from Berlin, where the Nazis directed their Final Solution to exterminate the Jewish people, is the height of insensitivity."
I don't think that anything has really changed within these Christian groups except that the lines of demarcation are being more clearly drawn. We must be able to differentiate between these groups and treat them accordingly.

"To issue this declaration from Berlin, where the Nazis directed their Final Solution to exterminate the Jewish people, is the height of insensitivity."

When is something an "affront" to all Jews?
Is robert Wexler's statement itself an "affront to all Jews" of non-herd mentality, or of other mentallity? HM! Read this to the point piece post here.
Criminals On The Bench
Interestingly enough, this post by Obadiah Shoher on Samson Blinded (fast becoming one of my favorite bloggers), goes to the heart of a phenomena that is not just Israeli. In California, the Bench recently also forgot its job description and trampled on the democratic rights of its resident citizens. Most reading this blog surely know what I'm talking about.
In any case, to give you a taste of this short post, here is some of what Shoher posted: "Justice Minister Friedmann’s efforts at reforming the Supreme Court are not the usual bureaucratic squabble but the most important political shift since the right-wing Likud came to power in 1977." ...because despite that shift in 1977 the "leftists continued to rule the country through law enforcement" (courts/police) and media."
The rest of this important article can be read Here.
To our friends from the left and Lies
I just read this most interesting post on the Samson Blinded blog. the author, Obadiah Shoher states the following:
A "popular lie: unlike their ancestors from the time immemorial until the 1945, gentiles now help Israel and our entire existence depends on American benevolence. Really? In 1948, the US Administration recalled its UN vote in favor of establishing the State of Israel and embargoes arms shipment to the Jewish state. That was three years after the Holocaust, when Jews were fighting the war of survival. America refused so little as to provide Israel with manuals for the Sherman tanks, and Jewish spies got them from the Soviets who received the tanks through lend-lease program. In 1956 and 1967, the US General Staff prepared operation plans for landing in Sinai against the Jewish aggressors to defend Egypt. You think the American attitude to Israel somehow radically changes in 1973? Not at all. Kissinger only sought to counter the growing Soviet influence, and started arms delivery to Israel in response to massive Soviet airlift to Egypt; the military aid came too late and remained mostly unused. To prove that the US Administrations seek influence in the Middle East rather than Israel’s good is simple: America gives about as much aid to Egypt as to Israel, and sells much more of advanced weapons to Arabs than to Israel. Relative to GDP, Egypt and Palestinians receive a lot more of American aid than Israel."
The entire article is as hard punching and 'in your face' as this paragraph above. If you'd interested in reading more, go HERE.

Entrepreneurs Find Ways to Make Technology Work With Jewish Sabbath
"The rabbis, scientists and engineers of the Zomet Institute are trying to solve the problems that arise when technology and the Torah collide....
"Working" .....to "create electronic devices — from phones to alarm systems to motorized vehicles — that obey Orthodox Jewish laws about the Sabbath, when even turning an electric current on or off is forbidden."

Where Are the Lost Ten Tribes?

The Russian Bear and the Israeli Ant
After a little over a month of computer related problems, I'm back full force even though I'm still trying to restore some lost files. In any event, here goes. Take a good look at this article by Moshe Feiglin who heads the Manhigut Yehudit faction of Likud in Israel. He starts out by saying:
"About a year ago, I saw a Russian television broadcast in which Vladimir Putin, riding a noble steed, reaches the edge of a lake, deftly removes his shirt and in an impressive display of muscle, leans over and washes his face in the crystal clear water.
That is when I began to worry."
For the rest of the story, go HERE.
and HERE for a summaries of his plan. I found a nice statement of his plan posted #7 comment by BMT, USA (31/08/08) at. In the event that you don't find it, this is it:
The Feiglin Plan:
-We will restore Jewish Values, Pride & Integrity to Israel.
-Israel must be run according to Jewish Values - it can not be guided by “world opinion”.
-Israel can not be a Light Unto the Nations if it takes its orders from the Nations.
-We must recognize that our title to the Land of Israel is from our Creator and not from the League of Nations.
-Jewish Education - One hour per day for all Jewish students - but without any religious coercion.
-Install a Constitution - Install Legislative Districts and reform how the Supreme Court members are chosen - in order to strengthen the Jewish character of Israel.
-Family Values - Nurture the Jewish family as the core and future of Israel. Abolish the “marriage tax”.
-Victory - Restore the concept of “Jewish Justice” to Israel & the IDF. The words “proportionate response” will be removed from our vocabulary. Win the current war in Judea, Samaria & Gaza, and Annex all of the Land of Israel. If other enemies -such as Iran, Hezbollah, Syria or Egypt - threaten us, we will end their ability to continue to do so.
-Arabs - End all terrorism and the firing of rockets at Jewish cities. End the rebellion of the Israeli– Arabs. Offer significant financial incentives to the Arabs to emigrate.
-Economy - Phase out the taking of all US aid (it is only 2.5% of Israel’s GNP). Initiate massive government-funded program to develop energy Independence. Restore our real & our perceived sovereignty.

Canadian MP: Mahmoud Abbas Purveys Anti-Jewish Incitement
Wow, has the Canadian government made an about turn on the Middle East in the last couple of years. Here's an example: "Canadian Member of Parliament Irwin Cotler, a Liberal party representative, has stated that the Palestinian Authority, including its Chairman and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas, is guilty of purveying hatred of Jews......
"People don't realize that Abbas signed a law, ... providing monthly stipends for the families of suicide bombers...
"According to the Canadian MP, 'Abbas has never recognized Israel's legitimacy as a Jewish state.'....
"The PA leader's anti-Israel statements and the hatred promoted by his official outlets, Cotler charged, has been judiciously ignored by the West."
there's more to the story, but I won't give it all away. Instead read it here.

Congress examines EMP Threat
From WorldNetDaily
Posted: July 07, 2008
10:42 pm Eastern
"WASHINGTON – More than four years after a stunning report about America's vulnerability to a nuclear electromagnetic pulse attack was released to Congress, the House Armed Services Committee will hear testimony from the scientist who issued the warning and who believes Iran is pursuing such an option.
"American society has grown so dependent on computer and other electrical systems that we have created our own Achilles' heel of vulnerability, ironically much greater than those of other, less developed nations,"
"EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) is one of a small number of threats that can hold our society at risk of catastrophic consequences," ..... "EMP will cover the wide geographic region within line of sight to the nuclear weapon. It has the capability to produce significant damage to critical infrastructures and thus to the very fabric of U.S. society, as well as to the ability of the United States and Western nations to project influence and military power."....
"If electrical power is knocked out and circuit boards fried, telecommunications are disrupted, energy deliveries are impeded, the financial system breaks down, food, water and gasoline become scarce...
Today few Americans can conceive of the possibility that terrorists could bring our society to its knees by destroying everything we rely on that runs on electricity. But this time we've been warned, and we'd better be prepared to respond."
The whole story is here.

Random House’s Fear of Muslim Violence Trumps Free Speech
"Random House wimped out and chose to go back on its agreement with an author because of the warnings of some academics. Better to protect their own hides than to promote free and open discourse.....
"Denise Spellberg, an associate professor of Islamic history at the University of Texas in Austin....."was upset,” when she read this novel after Random House sent it to her as a pre-publication heads up. “In an interview, Ms. Spellberg"..said "the novel is a 'very ugly, stupid piece of work.' She was upset,” and told the interviewer that the novel 'made fun of Muslims and their history,' and asked him to warn Muslims."
As a result, Random House pulled the book from publication and broke the contract with the author. The book, "The Jewel of Medina by Sherry Jones, a fiction novel about A’isha, Muhammad’s youngest bride" is now pending new publication.
Such intimidation of a major publishing house and its acquiescence is not a good omen for the free press and for the publication of free ideas within our near future. Read the blog that details the story here.

Gaza Anomalies Blow PCP’s Circuits: Result - The Sounds of Silence
"PCP" = Politically Correct Paradigm vis-a-vis the Middle East
"A few friends of mine went to a party in Jerusalem that was primarily made up Anglophone reporters, people who work for NGOs and UN agencies. What amazed them was the pervasive sense of the people they met and spoke with that Israel was the greatest human rights violator in the world and that the dismantling of Israel would be a great step forward for global human rights.
"Now the idiocy of this position, .....is nothing short of breathtaking."
This is a brilliantly clear analysis of the PCP types and their utter nakedness in light of historical fact(s).

Reuters Releases Films of Terrorists Training in Gaza, CNN and BBC Don’t Air it
“CNN and BBC seem to have chosen to avoid showing this new Reuters footage, even though they regularly air the anti-Israel footage which Reuters has previously pumped out.”
Hmm! Does anyone out there remember how CNN fessed up, just after the U.S. invaded Iraq, to their (CNN's) news team's manipulation of the news out of Iraq? This was done in order not to offend Saddam Hussaein, but was a blatent manipulation of the news fed to the world in order to be able to keep their CNN office in Bagdad open. Exactly how is the news being manipulated here, and for what purpose?

Sayings of the Jewish Buddhist
There seem to be several Jewish Blogs
that have this post, but since this is
my blog, I'm joining the circle poetic
admirers.
Sayings of the Jewish Buddhist
If there is no self,
whose arthritis is this?
Be here now.
Be someplace else later.
Is that so complicated?
Drink tea and nourish life;
with the first sip, joy;
with the second sip, satisfaction;
with the third sip, peace;
with the fourth, a Danish.
Wherever you go, there you are.
Your luggage is another story.
Accept misfortune as a blessing.
Do not wish for perfect health,
or a life without problems.
What would you talk about?
The journey of a thousand miles
begins with a single Oy.
There is no escaping karma.
In a previous life,
you never called,
you never wrote,
you never visited.
And whose fault was that?
Zen is not easy.
It takes effort
to attain nothingness.
And then what do you have?
Bupkis.
The Tao does not speak.
The Tao does not blame.
The Tao does not take sides.
The Tao has no expectations.
The Tao demands nothing of others.
The Tao is not Jewish.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Forget this
and attaining Enlightenment
will be the least of your problems.
Let your mind be as a floating cloud.
Let your stillness be as a wooded glen.
And sit up straight.
You’ll never meet the Buddha
with such rounded shoulders.
Deep inside you are ten thousand flowers.
Each flower blossoms ten thousand times.
Each blossom has ten thousand petals.
You might want to see a specialist.
Be aware of your body.
Be aware of your perceptions.
Keep in mind that not every physical sensation
is a symptom of a terminal illness.
The Torah says,
Love your neighbor as yourself.
The Buddha says,
There is no self.
So, maybe we’re off the hook.

American People, & Gov't – Both Are Infidels and At War with Islam
"Islam Does Not Distinguish Between the American People and the American Government" so said Abu Al-Yazid, who "worked for Osama bin Laden in Sudan as an accountant, and later became director of Al-Qaeda's financial affairs. He has also been a member of Al-Qaeda's Shura Council, in charge of financial planning, organizational affairs, and public relations."
This is a MEMRI article that can be read here.

Tyson replaces Labor Day with Muslim Eid al-Fitr
A Labor Day parade from the early 1900s
What?
On WorldNetDaily I found this article that starts off stating that "Food workers at the Shelbyville, Tenn., plant for Tyson Foods, which boasts on its corporate website that it strives "to honor God," will have time off for Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim holiday closing the month of Ramadan, instead of the American tradition Labor Day."
Take note: out of a 1,200 work force at the plant, Muslims represent 700 in number. This should have been expected since it appears that whenever Muslim numbers reach 40% and over, they feel quite comfortable in making Islamic demands.
Read how it happened here.

Exploding an Israeli Myth
Well, there goes that deeply entrenched "we're better than they are" notion that Israeli's have in the past held up to the world. Now, we're just the mirror image of each other: thanks to the secular, leftist Israeli leadership, we've come off the "moral high ground".

Israeli-Arab Med. Student Indicted for Hizbullah Contact
"President Shimon Peres said last week that "educated" Arabs generally do not present a terrorist threat to Israel."
What does one say, or how does one respond to such a statement? Apparently, only by keeping informed can one even begin to challenge such an icon of a man (for some). Remember the graduate and undergraduate students of 9/11 infamy? Now read this article concerning more EDUCATED Arab university students here.

Obama Kotel Note Leak was Campaign PR Stunt
Read All About it, Read All About,
It won't even cost you 5 cents mister/mam.
"Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama's campaign seems to have purposely leaked the contents of the note that he placed in the Kotel, web magazine Israel Insider wrote Tuesday."
While it was originally claimed that a young Yeshiva bachur had stolen the note and got it into the the hands of the extreme leftist publication, Ma'ariv, the story is now unfolding in a direction which, like an EARTHQUAKE, might have some long lasting political effects, since if true, will undoubtedly back lash on the Obama campaign vis-a-vis the Jewish vote.

1/3rd British Muslim Students Justify Killing for Religion
This is a disturbing report being that the Muslim population of Britain is not even 20%, which by some observers is the point where Muslims begin to "come out of the closet" in regard to their opinions on Sharia Law (Muslim Law) vis-a-vis their host countries.
The reported summary of the report is here
The original report can be found here.
The Arava Valley of Peace Project
This is a very entertaining Israeli propaganda video promoting and extolling the creation of a connecting waterway between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea. The project is seen as the only way to prevent the Dead Sea from living up to its name, while and at the same time promoting self-sustaining commerce and tourism on both the Jordanian and Israeli side of the border. The project is very much akin to our very own Saint Lawrence Seaway between Canada and the United States, but with a more tropical-like, futuristic, touristy flair.
Watch this very interesting short video here.

Employm't Discrimination Against Hareidi
You have all heard, I'm sure, about how the Hareidi in Israel are social service leaches on the Israeli economy.

The other, "the forced exodus of some 900,000 Jews from their centuries old homes in the Arab world" by the same Arab world in negative response to the birth of the modern Jewish State of Israel by the U.N.
Both refugee communities came into being at the same time due to the same historical events; yet one of these communities no longer is, while the other festers in full view of the world. Why is this? Read what Richard Z. Chesnoff has to say about this question here.

Rail Inspector Beaten Savagely by Arabs
Oops! This can't be true since I recently met an Israeli Jew who is convinced that the "savagery" goes the other way: Jew on Arab.

Globes: Disengagement Was 'Recipe for Chaos'
"Nearly 1,700 families expelled from northern Gaza and Gush Katif three summers ago still are without permanent homes ..... the Disengagement program, which the Globes business newspaper called a "recipe for chaos" remains some 89% unresolved.

Obama and Media Arriving Tuesday
"The massive press coverage of Sen. Obama's trip has fueled criticism that the America media are biased against Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain, whose visit to Israel, including Sderot, several weeks ago was barely covered.....
McCain, on the other hand, is a known quantity ... and his position does not excite nor fit the mainstream media's narrative on Iraq and Afghanistan, so they simply ignore it and him."
That pretty much says it all, and it doesn't speak well for the Free American Press. For the full report read it here.

Terror Training in Synagogue Ruins
Let's hear it for individuality!
Not in this exclusive video you won't. Unfortunately, I suspect that this Jihadist mentality is more pervasive than we think, even within the Islamic street.
This video, in a way, is even darker than “Dark Night” (D.N.) – the Batman movie - since D.N. is a comic book story, while this is for real.

Arabs Buying Out Collapsing Western Banks
""The weak dollar and weak economy mean the United States is up for sale.......
The "new reality: the greatest transfer of income in human history [and] the rise of a new breed of wealthy autocracies that cripple U.S. hopes of dominating the global system and demands on the U.S. to make fresh compromises in a world where power is rapidly being diversified."

Pro-Israel Revolution on Campus
'The true enemy of Zionism, according to the ZFA , is not radical Islam but globalization, which seeks to amalgamate continents into unified blocks and threatens Israel’s existence as a small Jewish state situated in a mostly Arab region........The eventual goal of Western governments is for Israel not to exist."

Obama Gives Final Burial to 'Undivided Jerusalem' Statement
As per a CNN Interview, Obama.....Confesses that his statement to AIPAC concerning his wish for a UNITED, JEWISH Jerusalem was a “SYNTAX” mistake, which he and his campaign “immediately tried to correct”: YEA, AFTER the lie was already out there from the horse's mouth to the hundreds at the AIPAC conference, and to the whole of the Jewish world via the Jewish media.
He not only got a standing ovation from the hundreds that he was addressing, but he got precisely what this kind of political snafu ("mistake") is intended to produce: the solidification of most of the AIPAC membership vote this coming November.
So, does one believe the original false statement (as per his confession), or do we believe the subsequent mia-culpa and re-write?
Once the trigger has been released, can one dodge the bullet? Not unless the vast majority of American Jews have watched the post AIPAC interview linked below and do a bit of political analysis on their own. Is there a mitzvah here for any of us?
Read, see and hear both the AIPAC clip, and the CNN interview here. The topic of Jerusalem comes up in the last quarter of the 9 min. CNN interview.

Arab and Israeli Statecraft
"Arab leaders probably look at Israel’s ruling elites as “useful idiots,” to use Lenin’s cynicism........
Israel’s ruling elites may not be paragons of virtue—the public deems them venal—but on the world stage, they cannot compete with the ruthlessness of their Arab adversaries."
For those of you who are familiar with Prof. Paul Eidelberg's reports, books and newsletter positions concerning the ME, those fighting words above are not new, but how he perceives ME history through the lens of those words will be.

Gazan Arabs Seek Compensation for Dismissal From Gush Katif Jobs
Let's see: The Israeli gov't forces Jews out of their land (Gush Katif), leaving their Agni. businesses behind, and abandoned. The thousands of of Gazan Arabs that had been employed by the Jews now have no work, but all the infrastructure for continuing the Agni business is handed over to the Arabs in order to make them self employed.
But NO, the Arabs don't want Jewish HAND OUTS, so they DESTROY the infrastructure leaving them without work/jobs. So....? (You all remember the pictures on the news showing them burning and pillaging synagogues and greenhouses). That was summer 2005.
Fast forward to summer 2008:
The Arabs now sue their ex-Jewish employers for LOST WAGES, not HAND-OUTS.
Can you believe? If you can stop laughing, click here for the short story.

Why Are We Happy? Why Aaren't We Happy?
Harvard psychologist Dan Gilbert says our beliefs about what will make us happy are often wrong -- a premise he supports with intriguing research, and explains in his accessible and unexpectedly funny book, Stumbling on Happiness.
This is an important research topic since it has implications for the nature of the politics that we chose or don't chose. It impacts on the spouse we chose or don't...on the religious choices we make or don't.
It impacts just about any human topic of importance. His research points to the reason why so many remain unhappy despite the freedom to chose, and what the circumstances have to be to make us happy: some of us may not like this latter info.

Future Temple Priests Get Fitted for Service
Ok, so most of us know and have seen the solid Menorah protected behind Plexiglas for all to see on the Roman Cardo in Jerusalem, and many of us know about all the Temple utensils that have been made in preparation (see here) , but who would have ever thought that Shofar clarion would have been sounded, in our life time, for the Kohanim to show up to be fitted?

Speaking Out Against Female Genital Mutilation
"This is complex; one wants to respect traditions and customs, but how can you if they are grossly damaging and cruel to women? Women's rights are more important than their ethnic rights. I don't think people should bring such a dreadful custom here and expect it to be respected. What we should respect are the people themselves, their feelings, their emotions."..........We want prevention; we want to stop it happening ever."
So says British author Ruth Rendell who is up and arms about the so called "female circumcision" as it's spreading in Britain, Europe and No. America. Seeing herself as a supporter of not only Women's Rights, but of human rights, the author is proposing some not too novel ideas as possible solutions; ideas which are seen as politically incorrect in certain circles here, on this side of the Pond.

1948, Israel, and the Palestinians: Annotated Text
"Sixty years after its establishment by an internationally recognized act of self-determination, Israel remains the only state in the world that is subjected to a constant outpouring of the most outlandish conspiracy theories and blood libels...."
So begins an article by Efraim Karsh in CommentaryMagazine.com.
The article is important because it details (with an abundance of citations from recently released documents) how the ME conflict was "created", with deliberation, by the ruling families within the Palestinian Arab world and the greater Pan Arab world.
If you're interested in how and why of the conflict, and have a bent for history, then this article is for you. Let it not be said that you didn't have the opportunity to inform yourself.

3 Ways to Lower Gas Prices
Tough, not easy political maneuvering is needed in order to do this, but it can be done. It just takes gutsy House of Representatives and Senators who are being pushed by their constituency. That means you!

The Evolving Palestinian Narrative:
"The Arabs who became refugees in 1948 were not expelled by Israel but left on their own to facilitate the destruction of Israel,,,,,according to a senior Palestinian journalist".
Read it in their own words and from their own newspapers here.
But before you do so, the real question is why the Western media (for the most part) has not focused in on these confessions about the historical facts from the Arabs themselves -those in the refugee camps- but instead prefer to continue to follow the "official" party line that the PA/Fatah and Hamas spews out to the media?
Duh? Isn't there a story here?
