price put on head of anti islam film maker
So as I was saying.
The lesson guys and ladies is, write nothing, say nothing, publish at your peril, anything to do with the prophet or his religion because, the practitioners
of the religion of peace don’t want you to. Even in your own country. That’s because it can not stand up to scrutiny. If it did, there wouldn’t be any rop.
Anyway, they rather like the 7th century where they are quite at home and comfortable.
Pakistan Minister offers $100,000 reward for death of US filmmakerA Pakistani Cabinet minister has today offered a US$100,000 reward for the death of the US filmmaker whose movie features a depiction of Islam’s Prophet Mohammed.
Railways Minister Ghulam Ahmad Bilor said he would pay the reward out of his own pocket.
He also urged the Taliban and al-Qaida to perform the “sacred duty” of helping locate and kill the filmmaker.
More than 20 people died yesterday in clashes with police in cities throughout the country.
Scores of people were injured today in a clash in Bangladesh’s capital between police and hundreds of demonstrators, as protests continued in the Muslim world against the film.
Police fired tear gas and used batons today to disperse the stone-throwing protesters, who were from about a dozen Islamic groups.
The protesters burned several vehicles in Dhaka, including a police van, witnesses said.
Dozens of protesters were arrested at the demonstration and inside the nearby National Press Club, where participants took refuge, a Dhaka Metropolitan Police official said.
Police and witnesses said scores of people were injured.
The clash erupted when authorities attempted to halt the demonstration, police said.
Authorities have banned all protests near the city’s main Baitul Mokarram mosque since yesterday, when more than 2,000 people marched and burned an effigy of President Barack Obama.
The protesters announced a nationwide general strike tomorrow to protest the police action.
The protesters – from the Minhaj-ul-Quran religious group – marched through Islamabad’s streets and then gathered near Parliament, chanting slogans against the filmmaker and demanding stern punishment for him.
Thousands of people also protested today in Nigeria’s largest city, Kano. The crowd marched from a mosque to the palace of the Emir of Kano, the region’s top spiritual leader for Muslims.
About 200 students in Srinagar, the main city in Indian-controlled Kashmir, chanted “Down with America” and “Long live Islam” in a peaceful protest.

Permalink • pakistan govt. has holiday in honor of prophet, this is what they got. no surprise
Yeah I know. You’ve seen it or something like it. Let me tell you what makes this even more incredible.
You are looking at proof, as if you need this photo and article for that, as to just how stupid these life forms are. They aren’t even animals yet. They haven’t reached that stage in evolution. Be at least another thousand years. Maybe two.
Here’s what brought this on, aside from the film that we all know about.
The govt. ( Pakistan) declared a days holiday in honor of Mohamed in answer to the disrespect shown in the film that none of these blithering, drooling idiots have seen. The govt. asked for a peaceful demonstration as a show of support.
And this is what they got.
Now how in the world burning theaters to the ground and setting fires to shops and cars and anything flammable is a show of respect, is something only muslims can explain. And we damn sure will still not understand.. And yet, we in the west are expected to try and reason with and show respect for their religion. How can you reason with the 7th century?
Pakistan erupts in a day of violence as 15 killed during anti-US protests
Violence and mayhem erupted across Pakistan yesterday as protesters took to the streets over a film made in the United States that they see as insulting the Prophet Mohamed, leaving at least 15 dead.
Leaderless mobs fought police all day in cities across the country, with the worst violence in Peshawar in the north west and in the southern port of Karachi. Protesters burned buildings and trashed shops and vehicles.
The government’s gamble of declaring yesterday a national holiday, in an apparent attempt to provide a means for people to vent their anger, seemed to backfire. It only swelled the crowds and their determination, with tens of thousands joining the chaos after Friday prayers.
In the capital, Islamabad, the US embassy was the target for the protesters. In the provincial capitals of Lahore, Karachi and Peshawar, the US consulates were the focus where the police just about managed to keep the crowds at bay. Paramilitary forces were also deployed, while in Islamabad, the army was on standby.
Some reports put the death toll at 20, with 12 killed in Karachi alone, including three police officers, and more than 100 injured. Police used live rounds and rubber bullets in and elsewhere. Areas of the cities turned into war zones, suffocating under a blanket of tear gas. Dozens of police officers were among the wounded as the enraged crowds hit back.
Banned extremist groups, carrying their organisations’ flags, joined the demonstrations in many of the cities, including Sipah-e-Sahaba. In Lahore, one rally was addressed by Hafiz Saeed, the leader of internationally proscribed Jamaat-ud-Dawa, who carries a US bounty of $10m (£6m) on his head.

NICS source link
Even trimming a third of a million off these numbers for secondary state purposes - Kentucky, Iowa, and a couple others use NICS as part of their CCW permit process - the numbers are still out of this world. For the 4th year in a row.
Greatest. Gun. Salesman. Evah. Yes he is, mmm mmm mmm.
And while some folks are getting in a twist because the federal government put down purchase orders for a billion rounds or so (which may take years to fulfill), the situation with the citizens dwarfs that with ease:
- Start-up ammo maker HPR had to partner with an experienced wholesaler to cope with their expanding business.
- European ammo giant Norma builds entire US warehouse facility to deal with expanded US trade and markets new Norma USA ammo line.
- US firearms maker Ruger had to stop taking orders for new guns this Spring, as they had more than A MILLION orders in the queue.
- Firearms imports are up almost 150%.
- Firearms exports are up almost 50%.
- Sales are up in 2012 like never before. Maybe because it’s an election year, and we saw what happened last time?

Really? Seriously? WTF? Ok, this is a week old, but still. And a big old hat tip to Doc Jeff for sending this one in!
Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
Thursday, September 13, 2012Photos sent to us via email show TSA screeners rifling through personal possessions at a Mitt Romney political event, including one ludicrous image of a TSA officer checking inside a baseball cap, illustrating again how the federal agency has expanded not only outside of the airport but outside of transportation entirely.
“I was at a Romney event to specifically see if TSA would be there. Here are the pictures,” writes an Alex Jones Show listener.
It’s unclear whether the attendees to the event were forced to undergo a pat down or take off their shoes, but hats were certainly liable for inspection.
Go read the rest, and then some of the comments. Is it that the TSA is helping out the Secret Service, or is this jack booted thug harassment? Have we become a nation of violent lunatics, that such a thing is necessary? Or is this just one example of the police state that already exists?
I remember seeing Gerald Ford when he came by to do a speech in my county when I was a young’n. I’m sure there was a heightened police presence, and I think I recall a few MIB on the roof tops. But that was all. He spoke from a podium on the county courthouse steps, then went away. There were no public friskings, no purses searched, no metal detectors to walk through.

To me this has meaning
I got a Parker.
And it’s a Camel.
And it’s a Pony.
And mine has skew!
And you don’t have one.
So neener neener!
The metal across the top of a truss bridge is called the top chord. Most of the time it’s flat, going in a straight line from one side to the other. Sometimes it has a bit of an arch to it, like this one. That’s called a polygonal top chord. When you have a Pratt truss, like this one, in which the inner diagonals all point towards the middle of the bridge, and you have that arched top chord, that kind of bridge is called a Parker. Each chunk of a truss bridge between the vertical beams is called a section. When you have a Parker that has exactly 5 angled bits in it’s top chord, regardless of how many sections down below, that’s called a camelback, or a camel. When you have a bridge that has no overhead works - in other words, it’s just two sides sticking up, with no bars running across above you - that’s called a pony truss. Skew is when one end is longer than the other, or offset a bit, because bridges rarely cross things at perfect right angles.
So what you’re looking at would have been mighty rare back in the once upon a time era: a skewed camelback pony truss. But in this modern era, where wide flange H beams have long since pushed I beams aside, and instead of rivets and pins we have gusset plate welding, you can do just about anything and it makes a good strong bridge. So making one out of one of the two pinnacle truss designs (ie a camelback truss and a half subdivided Warren truss) is a bit like gilding the lily, but it makes for a mighty strong bridge. You could drive tanks across this one if they’d fit. All of them, sir.
But still ... modern or not ... a Parker Pony. Neener neener! Neener neener!!
Going full circle: in the foreground is a wooden Kingpost, the most simple and oldest truss design; it’s older than islam. Put weight in the middle and it stretches the vertical iron rods downwards, which in turn pull on the wooden “A frame” boards, squeezing them together and downwards, and that downwards is applied at the ends of the bridge. So when you think it would bend down in the middle from your weight, it’s actually trying to bend down at the ends, and thus stays flat and can carry more than twice what a plain flat bridge of it’s size and materials can. This truss gets used everywhere, including in the roof of your house. And if you notice, there’s an upside down kingpost in the middle of the Camelback in the background. Because nothing is every really new all by itself.
My MIL had to be taken to the hospital at 10pm tonight ... this is not a positive sign. Won’t be much sleep for me tonight.

Insults to Islam ignite violence in Pakistan, 15 killed
by Aisha Chowdry
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Muslim protests against insults to the Prophet Mohammad turned violent in Pakistan, where at least 15 people were killed on Friday, the Muslim day of prayer, but remained mostly peaceful in other Islamic countries.
In France, where the publication of cartoons denigrating the Prophet stoked anger over an anti-Islam video made in California, the authorities banned all protests over the issue.
“There will be strictly no exceptions. Demonstrations will be banned and broken up,” said Interior Minister Manuel Valls.
Tunisia’s Islamist-led government also banned protests against the images published by French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo. Four people were killed and almost 30 wounded last week when the U.S. embassy was stormed in a protest over the film.
Many Western and Muslim politicians and clerics have appealed for calm, denouncing those behind the mockery of the Prophet, but also condemning violent reactions to it.
At street level, Muslims enraged by attacks on their faith spoke of a culture war with those in the West who put rights to freedom of expression above any religious offence caused.
“They hate him (the Prophet Mohammad) and show this through their continued works in the West, through their writings, cartoons, films and the way they launch war against him in schools,” said Abdessalam Abdullah, a preacher at a mosque in Beirut’s Palestinian refugee camp of Bourj al-Barajneh.
Muslims consider any depiction of the Prophet blasphemous.
Well, they are partially right. [ OTOH, Oh Puh-leez: “refugee camp”? WTF do you think you’re still fooling with that load of horse apples? Try “city made of reinforced concrete will paved roads and all the modern infrastructure”. There ain’t been a tent in that “camp” for 30 years! ]
We do hate your perverted pedophile prophet. We hate your politico-theological tyranny, which has stifled human thought and creativity for 1000 years now. We hate the sexism built into it. We hate the violence built into it. We hate the arrogance built into it, and mostly we hate the absolute intolerance built into it. YOUR FAITH IS SO WEAK AND YOUR FALSE GOD AND PROPHET ARE SO IMPOTENT that none of it can stand up to any criticism or debate. Your philosophy has always been “join us or die” with the ‘merciful’ caveat of “and/or live under us as a 4th class citizen”. And your proclamations of non-violence fall on ears deafened by the infinite number of murderous explosions carried out in the name of your faith. You are the very definition of hypocrisy; it is built right in to your rules: lying to the infidels is OK, making false treaties with them is OK. You have no honor because you are only conditionally honest at best.
Let me repeat that. YOU HAVE NO HONOR.
But the worst part of Pisslam is that you don’t love dogs, bacon, or hot chicks in tight tank tops and Daisy Dukes. Which just proves how totally fucked up you all are. You can’t handle pets, lunch, or sexy pretty girls. FAIL * 3. So go away and die somewhere please, so the rest of the normal world can continue moving forward. You are the anchor of the planet, mired in the distant past, holding us all back. Time to cut the chain.

The Americans were tried in absentia, in the first trial involving extraordinary rendition, the CIA’s practice of transferring suspects to countries where torture is permitted
I have to be honest here. I do not care. Why the F*** should I care? And why should the Italians care? I’m going to protest. No pizza for a month. two weeks okay, no pizza for a week. There’s gotta be a better way to protest and voice my displeasure with Italy.
The Italians should spend more time with important things like beautiful Italian women. And they need to get rid of the immigrant leaches they’re supporting and spend serious money on the restoration of parts and saving the rest of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Money shortages have had a serious impact on the upkeep of these world treasures. That’s what’s important. Not worrying about how our guys in the CIA go about protecting our country.
I think our guys should do a hit on their idiot court. Send a message. Screw with the firm and you screw yourself and maybe your family too.
That should go double for these ass wipes who, had I the weapons and the skill and the training, would happily do my country the favor of taking them out. Oh how I’d enjoy that. Damn. If only. Yeah, that’s how much filled with raging hate for these insects I am. I don’t understand why our guys aren’t deleting them.
Human rights activists praise decisionUS and international human rights groups praised the decision to uphold the verdict. Milan Prosecutor Armando Spataro told AP that the decision recognized that extraordinary rendition “is incompatible with democracy,” and that extradition based on the verdict was now warranted.
An Amnesty International expert on counter-terrorism and human rights, Julia Hall, echoed Spataro’s comments, saying “This important decision is another step towards accountability for violations that took place during the US rendition operations…The High Court has recognized that blanket claims of state secrecy cannot be used to shield the government from accountability for human rights violations.”
“Though legal questions remain, such as the validity of trials in absentia, American officials would be wise to heed the Italian court’s message that those who violate the law will be called to answer,” Jamil Dakwar, director of the ACLU Human Rights Program, said in statement.
Now here’s the story I got from BBC news.
Italy upholds verdict on CIA agents in rendition case
Italy’s highest appeals court has upheld guilty verdicts on 23 Americans, all but one of them CIA agents, accused of kidnapping a terror suspect.
Their case related to the abduction of an Egyptian cleric in Milan in 2003.
The man, known as Abu Omar, was allegedly flown to Egypt and tortured.
The Americans were tried in absentia, in the first trial involving extraordinary rendition, the CIA’s practice of transferring suspects to countries where torture is permitted.
The practice has been condemned by human rights groups as a violation of international agreements.
The group of Americans - 22 of whom were CIA agents and one an Air Force pilot - are believed to be living in the US and are unlikely to serve their sentences.
Italy has never requested their extradition but they will be unable to travel to Europe without risking arrest.
The group include the former station chief of CIA operations in Milan, Robert Seldon Lady.
At the time, he said that his opposition to the proposal to kidnap the imam was overruled.
The court upheld the sentences of the lower court which had sentenced all of them to seven years in prison, apart from Seldon Lady, who was given a nine-year sentence.
The Court of Cassation also ruled that five senior Italian secret service agents - including the former head of the country’s military intelligence agency - should be tried for their role in the kidnapping.
Nicolo Pollari resigned over the affair in which Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr, an Egyptian imam also known as Abu Omar, was snatched from a Milan street.
Abu Omar says he was tortured for seven months in Egypt.

Enviro-wienies at CNN:
(CNN)—The Three Mile Island nuclear power plant shut down unexpectedly Thursday when a reactor coolant pump failed, federal regulators said.
“This appears to be a fairly straightforward shutdown,” said Neil Sheehan, a spokesman for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. “Every indication we’re getting is the reactor safety systems are performing the way they are designed.”
The Unit 1 reactor shut off automatically about 2:20 p.m., the plant’s owner, Exelon Corporation, reported. There is no danger to the public, but the release of steam in the process created “a loud noise heard by nearby residents,” the company said.
Sheehan said one of the four reactor coolant pumps appears to have stopped working. Though three others remain, the system shuts down when an anomaly is detected, he said.
Thursday marked the second time in a month that the reactor has been shut down, following an August 22 leak in a heating system used to pressurize water. The unit was replaced, inspectors found no signs of a problem in two other units and the reactor returned to service on September 5, according NRC records.
The 825-megawatt pressurized water reactor at Three Mile Island, about 10 miles outside Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, has been in service since 1974 and can power about 800,000 homes. There was no loss of electrical service after Thursday’s shutdown, Exelon said.
The Unit 2 reactor has been shut down since a partial meltdown in 1979. There were no injuries and little release of radiation from that incident, which remains the worst commercial nuclear accident in U.S. history.
And not a single new reactor built since then. Not one. Regardless that Unit 2 worked perfectly even when things went wrong, and regardless that the safety steps and system redundancy has increased orders of magnitude since then. But let’s live in fear forever and forgo the one and only alternate energy solution that actually works, because the WORST NUCLEAR ACCIDENT IN US HISTORY was a fucking joke that killed, hurt, wounded, or sickened exactly NOBODY.

NEW YORK – A provocative ad that equates Muslim radicals with savages is set to go up in the city’s subway system as violent protests over an anti-Islamic film ridiculing the Prophet Muhammad sweep over much of the Muslim world.
A conservative blogger who once headed a campaign against an Islamic center near the Sept. 11 terror attack site won a court order to post the ad in 10 subway stations next Monday. The ad reads, “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad.”
The ad was plastered on San Francisco city buses in recent weeks, prompting some artists to deface the ads and remove some of the words, including “Jihad,” or holy war. The blogger, Pamela Geller, said she filed suit Thursday in the nation’s capital to post the ad in Washington’s transit system after officials declined to put up the ad in light of the uproar in the Middle East over the anti-Islam film.
Abdul Yasar, a New York subway rider who considers himself an observant Muslim, said Geller’s ad was insensitive in an unsettling climate for Muslims.
“If you don’t want to see what happened in Libya and Egypt after the video—maybe not so strong here in America—you shouldn’t put this up,” Yasar said.
“Maybe” Yasar? That’s a threat in my opinion. A promise of violence for voicing an opinion contrary to yours. We’re watching you now, camel fucker.
But “if this is a free country, they have the right to do this,” he said. “And then Muslims have the right to put up their own ad.”
Nice try with the soft-soap backpedal, but no sale. Too late. Your face, my mil dots.
Geller, executive director of the American Freedom Defense Initiative and publisher of a blog called Atlas Shrugs, called an order by a federal judge in New York allowing the ads “a victory for the First Amendment” and said she wasn’t concerned that her ad could spark protests like the ones against the depiction of Muslims in the video “Innocence of Muslims.” Violence linked to the movie has left at least 30 people in seven countries dead, including the American ambassador to Libya.
“If it’s not a film it’s a cartoon, if it’s not a cartoon it’s a teddy bear,” she said. “What are you going to do? Are you going to reward Islamic extremism? I will not sacrifice my freedom so as not to offend savages.”
New York police aren’t anticipating adding any security to subways when the ads go up and have received no threats or reports of violence relating to them, chief spokesman Paul Browne said.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority in New York initially refused to run Geller’s ad, saying it was “demeaning.” But U.S. District Court Judge Paul Engelmayer ruled last month that it is protected speech under the First Amendment.
“Our hands are tied,” MTA spokesman Aaron Donovan said. “Under our existing ad standards as modified by the injunction, the MTA is required to run the ad.”
Now known throughout the land as Aaron the Dhimmi, or just as Dhimmi Donovan, the pusillanimous coward who is MTA’s mouthpiece is afraid to be a stand-up American. He and his autocratic company ought to be proud to run such an ad, and even if he didn’t like it that much he should be fearless and fearsome in his attitude - “It’s a free country, free speech, so we’ll run whatever ads we want, fuck you.” That’s a proper American attitude.
Geller said the subway ads cost about $6,000. Donovan said they will be up for a month.
Opponents say the ads imply that Muslims are savages.
“We recognize the freedom of speech issues and her right to be a bigot and a racist,” said Muneer Awad, the executive director of the New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
And I recognize that Minor Asswad is a lying snake trying to use political correctness to cow the nation. Mil dot for you too A-wad. Muslims are savages. Ask any woman who has had her genitals cut off by them “for her own good”. Or any woman stoned to death for walking outside by hersel - oh wait, we can’t ask them, can we? Because that’s how “civilized” Islam is: NOT ONE FUCKING BIT. Muslims ARE savages. And don’t even get me started on the animals in Africa. In 20 million years they’ve only been able to advance up to barbarous tribalism, nose bones, and eating bugs and cow blood. Give them jizzlam as a “religion” and even they take 3 steps down the evolutionary ladder.
Go pay Pamela a visit, and maybe drop a dime in her tip jar. I wish she had $6 billion to spend on ads like these. I wish we had 100,000 more women just like her ... because that would create 10 million men with the same opinion.
PS - the MSM is filtering and censoring her interviews OF COURSE and quoting her out of context. Because, OF COURSE, they are just as much the enemy of America as the racist Marxist closeted gayboy chicken-shit creep in the White House.

well good morning cranks and crazies. woo-hoo.
now, not only are the islamic cucarachas upset with us, we’re also out of favor with Wayne Swan. who the heck is he? he is australia’s treasurer
and he says republicans are a threat to the world’s economy. he is not too fond of the tea party either.
so as usual and in case you folks missed it .......
and there’s even a video of him at the link giving us what for. quick, lets attack the aussie embassy. yawn. too tired today. tomoro too busy.
Australian leader attacks US Republicans as cranks and crazies
Wayne Swan, Australia’s Treasurer, has launched a scathing attack on the United States Republicans and warned the party’s “cranks and crazies” are the greatest threat to the world’s economy.
By Jonathan Pearlman, in Sydney
Mr Swan lashed out at the Republicans for recklessly endangering the economies of the US and the world.
“Let’s be blunt and acknowledge the biggest threat to the world’s biggest economy are the cranks and crazies that have taken over a part of the Republican Party,” he said in a speech in Sydney.
“Despite President Obama’s goodwill and strong efforts, the national interest was held hostage by the rise of the extreme right Tea Party wing of the Republican Party. The consequences were grave.
There can be few things more alarming in public policy than a political movement which was genuinely prepared to see the US government default on its obligations in order to score a political point.” Mr Swan said he was concerned the Republicans would again threaten global stability during looming negotiations to prevent a “fiscal cliff” – a massive reduction in spending if the president and Congress fail to reach a budget compromise.
“Fast forward to today, against the backdrop of a very close presidential campaign, and global investors are once again keenly focused on political gridlock in the US,” Mr Swan said.
Julia Gillard, Australia’s prime minister, backed her colleague’s foray into US domestic affairs.
“The Treasurer has been making appropriate comments today about potential risks for the global economy and consequently for the Australian economy,” she said. “You would expect him to be doing that.” The Opposition said the Treasurer’s comments were an embarrassing insult to Australia’s ally and would prove highly damaging if Republican candidate Mitt Romney wins the US presidential election.
“It was a calculated insult to the elected representatives of our key ally,” said the Opposition’s foreign affairs spokeswoman, Julie Bishop. “He is showing reckless disregard for the debt burden the US faces.” Australian politicians typically avoid intervening in the domestic political affairs of other countries, particularly allies.
I guess I’m supposed to be if not angry at least a tiny bit put off. The thing is, I found it funny. It must be something my wife put in my coffee this morning.

Permalink • a world of difference between us that will never close
Found in the letters page of yesterdays paper.
This is one good letter and it really does say a lot about the difference between us and the rop.
BRAVING the Pembrokeshire drizzle, I joined my family and a few neighbours in the garden the other afternoon where we lashed ourselves into a mass-induced hysterical frenzy before setting fire to a home made American flag.
Nobody was quite sure why we’d become so spontaneously enraged but apparently someone, somewhere, is supposed to have said something or other which called for an immediate outpouring of wild eyed, spittle-flecked ranting and mindless violence.
We certainly didn’t need to be asked twice, even though Roger and Krystyna from number 22 had only called round to give us some of their windfall Bramley apples.
The downside to our little protest get-together was when my wife, enthusiastically stamping on the still blazing remnants of the petrol soaked stars and stripes, ignited her fluffy slippers and suffered a singed bunion.
Nevertheless, we look forward to soon being offended again so we can have a tenuous excuse to behave appallingly and give vent to our blind fury.
It’s certainly easier than expressing an opinion in a calm and dignified manner.
Roy Conolly
Haverfordwest, Pembs.
England
And this is what separates us and always will. Until the day they actually take over.
This group of living breathing scum do not do dignity. They wouldn’t be able to spell it with word check. They are lice ridden filth who live and eat in dirt and will never do anything to raise above where they’ve been for the last thousand years. Even the few who have managed to live in the west have not advanced things but brought their plague with them.
There needs to be a final solution to the rop problem, and it must be carried out with Nazi like efficiency. Anything short of that and the west is lost.
That’s how serious the infestation is. Does anyone actually believe this can be reasoned with? They are cucarachas.

How Much Longer Will We Take This Insult From This Liar
After the White House for the first time Thursday explicitly called the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya an act of terror, President Obama ducked an opportunity to clear up the confusion about the ever-changing narrative—appearing to hold firm to the story that an anti-Islam film was to blame.
The president spoke Thursday at a town hall hosted by the Spanish-language Univision. He declined to get into specifics, even as lawmakers said after an intelligence briefing that there clearly was “some pre-planning” in last week’s deadly attack.
Instead, Obama launched into an explanation about how the U.S. saw something it’s seen before, where “there is an offensive video or cartoon directed at the Prophet Muhammad” and that is used “as an excuse by some to carry out inexcusable violent acts” against the U.S.
Obama stressed that we’re “still doing an investigation” and said he didn’t know whether Al Qaeda was involved.
Can’t you figure it out? The guy - the President of The United States of America - is not only anti-American, he’s 100% pro-Islam. He is in bed with our enemies. He is our enemy.
Multiple pre-planned attacks against the USA, on a certain anniversary, carried out in multiple countries where he himself - without much input or voice from the rest of the legislature - pumped billions into his own personal undeclared war, reversed US policy all by himself, and helped bring down autocratic governments that were at least peaceful towards our country, then walked away and turned a blind eye and let the scum rats take over. Muslim Brotherhood? And he and the Hildabeast and several others at the top of the manure heap knew half a week ahead of time it was all going down. Take the ammo away from our Marines, and leave our ambassador to be raped to death, then point fingers at some dipshit hillbilly with a YouTube account, some has-been Florida tent preacher, and his political opponent who had the NERVE, the AUDACITY to point out that this was an barbaric act of war enacted against us, terrorists enabled by foreign governments whom we ourselves helped create.
And a full week later, when the word has finally seeped into the mainstream press that it was in truth known about for days prior, and that there was no protest, and that this WAS a coordinated act of terrorism by Al Qaeda on 9/11 to show the entire world just how weak and spineless the USA really is, he’s still clinging to the “blame the film guy” meme, being weak and spineless and proving Al Qaeda exactly correct.
Even when his entire cabinet, the rest of the government, all the TV networks, and even his press secretary have pretty much figured out the obvious “self-evident” truth.
Even after all of that, Obama is still pimpin’ the lie for our enemies.
What does that make him?
A fool? A liar? An enemy agent?
Yes.
I don’t want to link to shit. But here:
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/09/20/carney-elf-evident-benghazi-attack-was-terrorism/
HEY, remember back in 2008, before the DNC convention, when it was Him vs Her and they had that “3am phone call” commercial going? This is our President and his government, more than a WEEK after an attack on the USA:
The White House, after insisting for more than a week that the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was a “spontaneous” act, conceded Thursday that it was “self evident” that it was an act of terror—an admission that took eight days for any administration official to make.
Earlier in the week, a top State Department spokeswoman declined to label the attack terrorism.
Carney’s comment, though, comes after the director of the National Counterterrorism Center testified on Capitol Hill that the strike was indeed a “terrorist attack.” Intelligence sources also told Fox News on Wednesday they are convinced the deadly attack was directly tied to Al Qaeda, with a former Guantanamo detainee involved.
The administration is still sticking by its claim that they don’t have evidence the assault was pre-planned. But Carney for the first time Thursday called it terrorism—while downplaying the fact that he was doing so.
“It is, I think, self evident that what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack,” Carney said. “Our embassy was attacked violently and the result was four deaths of American officials. That is self evident.”
On Monday, though, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland would not go so far when asked whether the attack was terrorism. To that point, administration officials had said publicly they believed the “spontaneous” attack was triggered or inspired by protests in Egypt over an anti-Islam film.
“I don’t think we know enough. I don’t think we know enough,” Nuland said. “And we’re going to continue to assess. She gave our preliminary assessment. We’re going to have a full investigation now, and then we’ll be in a better position to put labels on things, okay?”
Your nation has been attacked, so they’re going to study the problem, and then they’re going to study it some more. Then they’ll have a big investigation, who knows how long that could last, and then eventually (November 6th at the earliest is my bet) maybe they can understand, then make a plan, then carry out a bucket list of actionable items.
If AQ was invading they’d be in Sandusky by now. You CAN NOT let a nitwit head-in-the-sand Pollyanna Koom-by-fuckin-ya Democrat be in charge if we have even a single active enemy. They just don’t get it. They won’t ever. They can’t.
It’s sickening.

Permalink • now lady gaga, that great international talent, offends some of the usual
Oh so now there’s another thing for the slime to be offended by. Wonder where this will lead.
EVERYTHING offends muslims.
Hey, can’t we drop a powder or some kind of invisible something so they all get plague and disappear? Just think how nice a world minus these slugs could be. I think from now on I should refer to them as cucarochas

Lady Gaga’s security team are said to be tightening the star’s security after her burqa and raccoon tail outfit at London Fashion Week caused offence among religious groups.
The star arrived at the show wearing a burqa covered in raccoon tails - although she has not confirmed or denied whether they were real fur.
“That comes across as a clear insult to Muslims and Islam,” said a Chicago-based representative of a number of Muslim groups to the Chicago Sun Times. The spokesman did not want to be identified.
Rumours suggest Lady Gaga’s security has been increased since she wore the outfit, in case of retaliation from religious extremists.
The newspaper also claims activists are planning to throw paint or faeces at the star.
“I’m hearing they are going to try and personally attack Gaga — spraying her with paint or even throwing faeces at her,” says a source for PETA activists to the US newspaper.
The once anti-fur star shocked with her fondness for animal skins, having previously been seen wearing fur while on tour in Bulgaria. When she was previously spotted wearing fur, Animal rights group PETA compared her a ‘mindless Kim Kardashian’ before Gaga later attempted to defend her choice to dress in animal skin.
“You see a carcass, I see a museum pièce de résistance,” she wrote in an official statement on her choice to wear fur.
She added: “But I am truly sorry to fans who are upset by this, its a fair and applaudable feeling about the health and safety of animals. I respect your views, please respect mine.”
Gaga published the open letter online to confirm her new stance on the issue, which seems to go back on her 2009 comment to Ellen DeGeneres on US TV that: “I hate fur and I don’t wear fur.”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
