A POLITICALLY CORRECT MILITARY ?

This article shows you what a politically correct culture will lead to.

Living here as I do, and with an army training base hidden behind many trees and high hedges and a chain link fence just at the end of our road, and often seeing young fellows (and some not so young) running up a steep hill in the summer in full uniform, sometimes with packs on their backs, and having read Brit history and still do, and having military news in our papers all the time, it might be fair to say that I am quite pro military and always have been impressed with their history.

What I see happening here as you will read below, is I am sure taking place in the USA as well.  Damn shame that. 
And no Thatcher or Churchill to save the day.  No Truman to authorize the use of the bomb.  No Teddy wielding a large stick or a Reagan to unite most of us.

Tell the truth.

Do any of you see things getting any better in your lifetime?

Hero Para faces £250,000 court martial for punching Taliban PoW as he fled

Legal experts believe there is no chance of conviction
Friends of unidentified soldier slam case as ‘absurd’
‘Waste of time’ says Tory MP Patrick Mercer

By IAN DRURY

A paratrooper with an unblemished service record is being hauled through the military courts for punching a Taliban member who was trying to escape.

Astonishingly, the case is going ahead even though the Afghan captive has refused to make a formal complaint, and there are no other witnesses to the incident.

The case is estimated to have cost the taxpayer £250,000 already and threatens to plunge the Forces into a new row over political correctness.

The soldier, known for legal reasons as Corporal C, hit the insurgent once in the face believing he was trying to flee during a firefight in the badlands of Helmand Province.

British military prosecutors admit that the captive, Ahmed Wali, has provided evidence that is ‘unreliable’.

But the Service Prosecuting Authority refuses to drop the case and has charged Cpl C – described as a man of ‘impeccable character’ – with assault. He is due to appear at a court martial later this month.

But his legal team has made an application to the High Court for judicial review of the decision to prosecute him in an attempt to have the case thrown out.

Last year three judges, who were asked to review the evidence at the Court Martial Appeal Court in London, expressed concern about the case and branded it ‘unfortunate’ saying it was a ‘large hammer [to deal] with a relatively minor matter’.

Legal experts believe there is no realistic chance of Cpl C, 31, from Glasgow being convicted because of holes in the SPA’s case.

The soldier risked his life serving with distinction in Iraq and Afghanistan with the elite Parachute Regiment.

His name is being kept secret because he served alongside special forces.

Cpl C, who quit the forces in disgust at his treatment, was a qualified tactical questioner with the Paras when the incident happened in March 2010.

He was commanding a joint British and Afghan patrol which set up a vehicle checkpoint in Nahr-e Saraj, a Taliban stronghold strewn with deadly roadside bombs.

The patrol stopped a motorbike carrying two Afghan men who were acting suspiciously.

As an Afghan National Army soldier approached the men, the rider pulled out a pistol and pointed it at him. The gun-wielding insurgent was shot dead, while his pillion passenger, Wali, was taken to a nearby compound.

Cpl C began to interrogate Wali – who denied he was a Taliban member – despite the ‘real threat by small arms and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to the patrol’.

some vermin, their history and their human (?) rights

The links are provided should anyone want to read the full stories.  You’d think we’d all be tired of this kind of thing by now. Well, yes. It is about the same old same old. But ..... it’s happening right here and it’s on going.  Emotions run the gamut from concern to fright to downright anger. And of course frustration.
Lots and lots of that.  Seem Europa and it’s union and too many Brit lawyers and civil rights types, are very concerned about the rights of the vermin shown here and less about the right to life of the many victims these bastards would enjoy taking away. And in the most horrific manner they could arrange.
Terrorists may be mad dogs, they may want to return to the dark ages, they are filthy, grubby and unwashed looking creeps.
But they most certainly are not stupid. Well not all of them are.  But even the dumbest among them doesn’t require a degree to turn himself into a flaming bomb at the behest of these scum. They know how the west works (and doesn’t work) and how to use the western system against itself. They are smart enough for that. And those who aren’t have smart lawyers clearing a path for them.  And not only that.  How’s this strike you?

Here’s a story regarding a group of MPs (Members of Parliament). 

MPs visit Abu Hamza at Belmarsh to canvass his views for a report. He is referred to respectfully throughout as ‘Mr Abu Hamza’ Here’s a guy who says that it’s perfectly okay to kill anyone for no other reason then they aren’t muslims. 

These animals shouldn’t be given refuge anywhere and when caught should be deleted with extreme prejudice.  And fuck the ass-wipes at the Euro-pee-on court of human rights.  Deleting them might not be a bad idea either.

Here’s some quick snaps for you to look at and think about. You should you know. After all, you are all on their murder list. And these vermin are only three.

SubHuman Vermin #1 for your consideration. 

Abu Hamza

It took years to jail him, but now MPs visit Abu Hamza at Belmarsh to canvass his views

· Al Qaeda is trying to recruit female suicide bombers in Britain, MPs warn
· Internet often to blame for radicalising extremists, report warns
· Select committee blasted by family of 7/7 victim for interviewing hate preacher Abu Hamza
By JACK DOYLE

A group of MPs who visited hate-preacher Abu Hamza in his jail cell have published his views in an official report.
Members of the home affairs select committee went to high-security Belmarsh prison to interview the cleric who was jailed after telling his followers that the murder of non-Muslims was justified ‘even if there is no reason’.
Their report on violent radicalism is published today and includes an uncritical summary of Hamza’s comments. He is referred to respectfully throughout as ‘Mr Abu Hamza’.

Families of terror attack victims condemned the committee and its chairman, Labour MP Keith Vaz. Graham Foulkes, whose 22-year-old son David was murdered in the Edgware Road bombing on July 7, 2005, said the visit was ‘deeply inappropriate’.
He said: ‘I think what they are doing by visiting him in jail is legitimising his claims and his beliefs, which are to kill and maim men and women and to destroy our society.
‘The worrying thing is that as a result Hamza will tell his followers, “Look, they are taking me seriously”.’

‘A substantial number of terrorist attacks at home and abroad have happened because of Abu Hamza.

Saajid Badat

‘Shoe-bomb’ terrorist to be released from jail on opening day of the Olympic Games

By EMMA REYNOLDS

The notorious terrorist who plotted a shoe-bomb attack on a plane is to be freed from jail just hours before the Olympic Games begin.
Saajid Badat’s release will only add to security fears at the high-profile event in London, which opens on July 27.
The 32-year-old was jailed for 13 years in 2005 after conspiring with two other radical Muslims to blow up a passenger jet - but he will be released after serving just eight years and eight months.
The religious teacher from Gloucester admitted to conspiring with Brit Richard Reid and Belgian terrorist Nizar Trabelsi to blow up flights to the U.S. in 2001.

But now he is due to be freed two-thirds of the way through his sentenceon the official opening day of the biggest sporting event in the world, according to the Daily Mirror.
People are furious this guy is being released on that day but it’s just a quirk of fate,’ said a security source.

He had even booked a ticket for a flight from Amsterdam to the U.S., but he had a last-minute change of heart and never boarded the plane.
His fellow plotter Reid was overpowered by fellow passengers on a flight from Paris to Miami while trying to detonate the bomb in his shoes, and is now serving a life sentence in America.

Abu Qatada

Osama Bin Laden’s ‘right-hand man in Europe’ Abu Qatada could walk from prison today despite being ‘extraordinarily dangerous’

Lawyers are arguing he should be released on bail after being held for six and a half years

By CHARLES WALFORD

Hate preacher Abu Qatada could today walk free from prison to a life on benefits with his wife and five children.

Qatada, who has cost the UK taxpayer more than £1million in benefits, prison and legal fees, is currently being held at Long Lartin high security prison in Worcestershire after breaching previous bail terms.

British diplomats continue to seek assurances from the Jordanian authorities that evidence gained through torture would not be used against him.

The issue was the key reason why Qatada won an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights last month.

The judges ruled that sending Qatada back to face terror charges without such assurances would deny him his right to a fair trial and be a ‘flagrant denial of justice’.

Mrs May vowed that Qatada, who has been held for six and a half years, would be kept behind bars while she considered all legal options to send him back and the Home Office said he ‘poses a real risk to national security’.

But Qatada’s defence team convinced an immigration judge to release him at a hearing in central London.

a plot inspired by al-Qaeda but conceived entirely on British soil.

Police have broken up a terrorist ring. But damn it, these filthy sub human muslim scum can be out and free in 6 years.  Why? Because .... well here.
Read it yourself.

Some of these sub humans are Brit born.  Some would say they’re actually British as well as human.  Well some would be mistaken.

Interesting however. How times and attitudes change with the help of the weepy eyed left.

After WW2, the Brits murdered a fellow known as Lord Haw-Haw. OK, They executed him then, for treason. Thing is though, he was not a Brit nor was he a Brit citizen, having accepted German citizenship.  He was in fact, an American originally.  But the victors in any war require blood revenge and so they killed him.
In actual fact btw, his wife was closer to committing treason as she was Brit born and raised. I guess her role working for the Germans was lesser. ??
He made propaganda broadcasts that most Brits laughed at, they were usually so bizarre.

So fast forward to 2012 and guys who were plotting to kill on a grand scale and support foreign terrorists though born here, go to jail for a few years and then will be free.  I guess what these vermin were planning wasn’t treason.  ??????
My take?  After the war the left wanted Haw-Haw dead.  Today the left wants to keep these scum alive cos killing them might violate some sort of rights issue.

Big Ben bomb gang out in six years: Outrage as terror plotters plead guilty in turn for light sentences

The conspiracy involved nine Muslim defendants
They were all British, living in London, Cardiff and Stoke-on-Trent
Al-Qaeda inspired radicals arrested FOUR days before they planned to plant bombs in London Stock Exchange toilets

By REBECCA CAMBER

A terror gang who planned a Mumbai-style bomb blitz in London could walk free in less than six years after striking an extraordinary 11th-hour plea bargain.

The four Muslim fanatics intended to unleash a Christmas campaign of atrocities with targets including the Stock Exchange, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the Palace of Westminster and the London Eye.

They and five others had been facing a five-month trial at Woolwich Crown Court and could have expected sentences of 20 years.

But at the 11th hour they decided to plead guilty after a judge indicated they would receive lesser sentences for admitting the plot.

The Crown wanted to avoid both the estimated £2.5million cost of a high-security trial and the possibility of acquittals.

So a rare so-called ‘Goodyear’ direction hearing was arranged in which defence barristers receive guidance from the judge about how long he plans to jail those accused if they admit their guilt.

In this case, Mr Justice Wilkie suggested ringleader Mohammed Chowdhury, 21, would receive no more than 13½ years and his 28-year-old accomplice, Shah Rahman, 12 years.

He said the case did not merit an indefinite imprisonment for public protection because their plans were not developed, and he took account of Chowdhury’s youth.

Chowdhury is likely to spend less than half of his sentence behind bars owing to time already served on remand, while Rahman can expect to be out in five years.

Following the Goodyear hearing, others who had lesser roles in the plot swiftly pleaded guilty knowing that they would attract even more lenient jail terms when they are sentenced next week.

Tory MP Patrick Mercer said a term of five or six years ‘does not seem particularly serious’ for acts of terrorism which could have killed many innocent people.

REMEMBERING DANIEL PEARL

Lest we forget, and honestly I never did.  I lifted this from Front Page today. I don’t know what I can say that would add anything. I think the article says it all.
I thought I should share it and I think you should read it.  The rest is as usual, at the link.

FRONT PAGE

The Unlearned Lessons of Daniel Pearl’s Murder

Bruce Thornton

Ten years ago this week, Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped by Islamic terrorists in Pakistan, after he had been lured into what he thought was an interview with Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani about the links between al Qaeda and the “shoe bomber” Richard Reid. The shadowy Pakistani group that kidnapped Pearl accused him of being a spy for the CIA, and made several demands, including the release of Pakistani detainees from Guantanamo. Nine days later, Pearl was murdered and beheaded, and on February 21, a video was released called “The Slaughter of the Spy-Journalist, the Jew Daniel Pearl.”

The footage showed Pearl’s “confession” and brutal decapitation, interspersed with images of dead Muslims, George Bush shaking hands with Ariel Sharon, and Palestinians allegedly killed by Israeli Defense Forces, including 12-year-old Muhammad al-Dura, whose death was later exposed as a Palestinian fabrication. Later, captured 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed would brag to interrogators that he personally had beheaded Pearl. As for his abductor, Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, though tried and condemned to death, still lives in a Pakistani jail cell, from which according to some reports he has planned other terrorist attacks.

The killing of Pearl concentrated much of what Andrew McCarthy calls the “willful blindness” of many in the West to the Islamic roots of the perpetrators’ violence. At the time, most of the media mainly decried Pearl’s death because he was a reporter. Worse yet were the comments that scolded the terrorists for not understanding that American journalists are neutral observers whose impartiality could help them get their story out.  As a New York Times editorial put it,
“The terrible irony of Mr. Pearl’s murder is that he and other independent journalists have been trying to present a detailed and informed portrait of the mindset, motives and grievances of the Islamic fundamentalists in the wake of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 and the war in Afghanistan. That work will continue despite the killing, but the kidnappers have only undermined their cause by their acts.”

The professional corruption of the mainstream-media was revealed in this statement, with its claims that journalists are objective (mostly false) and have no loyalties to their own country and people (mostly true), and that the murderers had a legitimate “cause” and “grievances” (moral idiocy and cowardice).

Taliban executes 15 Pakistani soldiers.

Nose buried in weekend papers and mags but this article comes from the net. No surprise.  Less then an hour ago.

These are the folks our troops are ordered to treat ‘humanely.’

I don’t normally like to simply post an article and let it go. But heck. What can I say?  The photos alone speak for themselves. I have one posted here but there are 6 more at the link below if you need that many to show what these vermin are like.

Handcuffed, blindfolded and shot in the back of the head: Taliban releases horrific video of executions of 15 Pakistani soldiers

The paramilitary troops were abducted on December 23
‘God is greatest’ the Taliban yelled as they fired AK-47 rifles
Horrific video has been copied and distributed in street markets

By JILL REILLY

A video showing fifteen Pakistani soldiers being lined up and shot dead by a firing squad has been released by the Taliban.

The paramilitary troops were abducted on December 23 in what the terror group described as an operation to avenge the deaths of insurgents in Pakistan.

The release of the horrific video is intended to serve as a warning to Pakistan’s 600,000-member army, which has failed to break the back of the insurgents despite superior firepower and a series of offensives against their strongholds in mountain regions.

The abducted soldiers were stood blindfolded, handcuffed to each other on a barren hilltop as one of their bearded Taliban captors held an AK-47 rifle and spoke with fury about revenge.

‘Twelve of our comrades were besieged and mercilessly martyred in the Khyber Agency (area),’ said the militant.

‘Our pious women were also targeted. To avenge those comrades, we will kill these men. We warn the government of Pakistan that if the killing of our friends is not halted, this will be the fate of you all.’

Before death, one of the men described how dozens of Taliban fighters stormed their fort in the northwestern Tank district and kidnapped the soldiers.

‘They attacked us with rockets, killed a sentry. One ran away. The Taliban entered the fort and captured us with our weapons,’ he said, sitting in rows with other soldiers with their arms folded and legs crossed in front of Taliban banners.

‘They tied our hands, put us in a Datsun and took us away.’

afghan boys told their bomb belts will not hurt them. only infidels

More of the same.
The court in Europe tells Brits they can’t deport terror suspect, cause Jordan might abuse him.
While in another case dealing with a life term in prisons for killers, thankful Brit legal eagles had this to say.

“We are pleased that the European court has upheld the whole life tariff as a legitimate sentence in British courts.”

That’s nice.  A European court being thanked for backing an English one. 

The day will come, can’t hold any breath on it of course, but the day may very well dawn when Americans will wake up and find the left has finally tied America to foreign courts.  Or closer ties that bind with the UN.  Hey, I just do not trust the left. I would not put anything past em, and they always seem to have the finance and the organization to do what they want.

Meanwhile, it’s being reported that young boys in Afghanistan that are recruited as suicide bombers, are being told that when the bombs go off, they will not be hurt. Only the infidels will die. They are fed anti-Western and anti- Afghan govt. propaganda until they’re prepared to kill.  The kids are mostly illiterate, but a few have had second thoughts about promises that they will not be hurt.

Here’s a link to a reporter that’s been in Afghanistan since ‘06. Read about it.

Boy Bombers, Ben Farmer

Returning to what I started at the top of the page, take a look at this. And be thankful (so far anyway) American courts don’t have to bow to a European super court.  At least not today.  Tomorrow?  Hey, that’s another day to get through and see.

Abu Qatada cannot be deported to Jordan, European judges rule

Abu Qatada, once described as “Osama bin Laden’s right hand man in Europe”, cannot be extradited to Jordan, the European Court of Human Rights has ruled.

By Duncan Gardham, Security Correspondent

In a landmark judgment, the court said that Qatada would not receive a fair trial if he was returned to his native Jordan where he faces charges that he plotted bomb attacks on two hotels and providing finance and advice for another series of bomb attacks to coincide with the Millennium.

The court said there would be a violation of his right to a fair trial under Article Six of the European Convention of Human Rights, “given the real risk of the admission of evidence obtained by torture at his retrial.”

It is the first time that the Court has found that an expulsion would be in violation of Article 6, which reflects the international consensus that the use of evidence obtained through torture makes a fair trial impossible.

Qatada, 51, whose real name is Omar Mahmoud Mohammed Othman, has been convicted twice in Jordan in his absence for conspiracy to carry out bomb attacks on two hotels in Amman in 1998, and providing finance and advice for a series of bomb attacks in Jordan planned to coincide with the Millennium. The cases were to be retried.

He was first arrested in 2002 and is currently held in Long Lartin jail in Worcestershire after breaching his bail conditions.
The court ruled that key diplomatic assurances received meant there would be no violation of Article Three which bans the use of torture or inhuman or degrading treatment.

It also said there would be no violation of Article Five, the right to liberty and security and no violation of Article 13, the right to an effective remedy.
The judgment is not final. There is a three-month period in which the government may request that the case be referred to the Grand Chamber of the Court for a final judgment, although the request may be refused.

not confirmed. daily mail reports taliban hang 8 yr old boy

Came across this minutes ago before close for the night.
Have no way to know if it’s actually true.  Just cos the Mail prints it doesn’t mean it is, but considering the subject matter and ppl involved, I’m always ready to believe the worst.

I guess that makes me islamophobic. Yeak well, one can never be enough of that in this world.

Take a look at this.

Taliban hang eight-year-old son of Afghanistan police chief

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Last updated at 3:50 PM on 24th July 2011

Suspected members of the Taliban hung the eight-year-old son of a police commander after ordering his father to surrender, it was claimed today.

The Deutsche Presse-Agentur news agency reported that the young boy was kidnapped by militants in the Greshk district of Helmand province last Tuesday.
He was hanged on Friday after they demanded his father give himself up or else the boy would be executed.

‘The militants had warned his father to surrender with his police vehicle and weapons, otherwise they would kill his son,’ provincial governor spokesman Daud Ahmadi told the agency.

While child executions by the Taliban are not common, children often fall victim to Taliban militants when they carry out attacks.

Youngsters have also been used by the Taliban as suicide bombers.

Two months ago, four civilians were killed and 12 others were injured when a 12-year-old suicide bomber blew himself up at a crowded market in eastern Afghanistan.

The Taliban have always denied using children to carry out their attacks.

More from Norway

Ok first. To answer a question as to what is thought right wing in Norway.

Anyone who doesn’t agree with the left wing elitist champaign, limoliberal left.
Norway is a country of just under 5 million people.  They are generally a fairly liberal lot, more or less live and let live. But that’s for the left. Every one else is a Quisling.

We’re getting full page photos covering both sides of center spread, and all the news all night on radio has been Norway. Lots of interviews with survivors etc.

I think we should be clear about one thing.  The mad dog killer is neither Christian nor Conservative, no matter what he may call himself.  I don’t even care to refer to him as ‘right wing’ for all the obvious reasons.  The only thing I can be certain about is his claim on a now defunct web site, that the elite left running the country is blind or just uncaring about what has been happening to Norway. He was right about that.  Which does not in any way excuse the murder of a bunch of teens at an island camp or setting a bomb off in a city center.

That said, there are large numbers of people in Norway who are very concerned about becoming a minority group in their own country. And so far, the powers that be are not listening very well.

brit soldiers told not to fire on taliban.

An absolutely insane way to run a war but then, what the hell would I know about running a war.

I have to feel doubly sorry for Brits.  In the last couple of days, they lost two soldiers shot by a very professional sniper. One shot got them both. Damn.
I believe the Brits know who he is, but can’t nail the bastard yet.  I’m sure they will.  I sure hope so.  Brits are not dumb, they’re tough and they are professionals as well.  But sorry to say some things are so screwed up and they are being made to fight with hands tied.
Take a look at this sad damn fix. 

Soldiers told not to shoot Taliban bomb layers

British soldiers who spot Taliban fighters planting roadside bombs are told not to shoot them because they do not pose an immediate threat, the Ministry of Defence has admitted.

By Andy Bloxham

They are instead being ordered to just observe insurgents and record their position to reduce the risk of civilian casualties.
The controversial policy emerged at an inquest into the death of Sgt Peter Rayner, 34, a soldier from the 2nd Batallion The Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment who was killed in October last year by an improvised explosive device as he led a patrol in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.

Wendy Rayner, 40, disclosed that in the days leading up to his death her husband been told that it was not his job to attack insurgents laying bombs.
Mrs Rayner, who lives with their young son in Bradford, told the inquest that the insurgents were being allowed to get away with the murder of British troops.
She said: “They are not allowed to fire on these terrorists. If they can see people leaving these IEDs, why can’t they take them out? One officer even told him ‘I am an army Captain and you will do your job’.

“We have lost too many men out there, they had seen people planting IEDs yet could not open fire or make contact with them. I believe strongly if people had taken on board what he was saying more he might have been here today.”
Under the Geneva Convention and the nationally administered Rules of Engagement the 9,500 British troops in Afghanistan are told they can only attack if there is an immediate threat to life.

A key part of the MoD’s counter-insurgency theory holds that it is more important to win over civilians by not killing innocent people than it is to eliminate every potential insurgent.
One officer who has recently served in Afghanistan said that if a soldier wanted to ascertain if an insurgent was an immediate threat, he would have to approach him and expose himself to greater risk.

He said: “A British soldier manning a checkpoint at night might watch a man digging a hole for an IED 100 metres away and would not try to shoot at him. It’s a ludicrous situation.

“There has to be an immediate threat to life and that’s a hard thing to prove. An IED does not count as an immediate threat.

“The Americans are different – their Rules of Engagement are pretty liberal. If they even suspect someone of laying a bomb, they can shoot them.”

Afghans routinely dig holes in river banks to store meat because there is no refrigeration and farmers often dig at night because it is cooler to work.  The Taliban bomb layers take advantage of this to spread confusion. They set roadside bombs where farmers work and villagers store meat, and they also pay civilians $10 a time to dig a hole.

If the civilian is shot, it is a propaganda victory for the Taliban, and if the hole is not discovered by soldiers, it can be used later for a roadside bomb.

The existing policy of “courageous restraint” was led by the US General Stanley McChrystal 18 months ago and has been repeatedly criticised for leaving soldiers fighting “with one hand behind their backs”.

At yesterday’s inquest, after the acting Bradford coroner Paul Marks recorded a verdict of unlawful killing, Mrs Rayner urged the MoD to “let our soldiers be soldiers”.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence said: “Troops in Afghanistan are required to exercise restraint when dealing with this threat as the use of deadly force is not always appropriate when there is a risk of collateral damage.

“The aim of this policy is to avoid innocent civilians who may be in the vicinity.”

the cupcake war - kudos MI6

Busy,busy all day yesterday and by the time almost done, I was done in. 

Picked newspaper off floor of porch this morning and this headline stood out.
Immediately booted least Drew find it first.  I haven’t even had morning coffee yet. honest.

MI6 HACKERS HIT TERRORIST WEBSITE WITH CUPCAKES

MI6 attacks al-Qaeda in ‘Operation Cupcake’

British intelligence has hacked into an al-Qaeda online magazine and replaced bomb-making instructions with a recipe for cupcakes.

By Duncan Gardham, Security Correspondent

The cyber-warfare operation was launched by MI6 and GCHQ in an attempt to disrupt efforts by al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsular to recruit “lone-wolf” terrorists with a new English-language magazine, the Daily Telegraph understands.

When followers tried to download the 67-page colour magazine, instead of instructions about how to “Make a bomb in the Kitchen of your Mom” by “The AQ Chef” they were greeted with garbled computer code.

The code, which had been inserted into the original magazine by the British intelligence hackers, was actually a web page of recipes for “The Best Cupcakes in America” published by the Ellen DeGeneres chat show.

Written by Dulcy Israel and produced by Main Street Cupcakes in Hudson, Ohio, it said “the little cupcake is big again” adding: “Self-contained and satisfying, it summons memories of childhood even as it’s updated for today’s sweet-toothed hipsters.”

It included a recipe for the Mojito Cupcake – “made of white rum cake and draped in vanilla buttercream”- and the Rocky Road Cupcake – “warning: sugar rush ahead!”

By contrast, the original magazine featured a recipe showing how to make a lethal pipe bomb using sugar, match heads and a miniature lightbulb, attached to a timer.
The cyber attack also removed articles by Osama bin Laden, his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri and a piece called “What to expect in Jihad.”
British and US intelligence planned separate attacks after learning that the magazine was about to be issued in June last year.
They have both developed a variety of cyber-weapons such as computer viruses, to use against both enemy states and terrorists.

A Pentagon operation, backed by Gen Keith Alexander, the head of US Cyber Command, was blocked by the CIA which argued that it would expose sources and methods and disrupt an important source of intelligence, according to a report in America.
However the Daily Telegraph understands an operation was launched from Britain instead.

Al-Qaeda was able to reissue the magazine two weeks later and has gone on to produce four further editions but one source said British intelligence was continuing to target online outlets publishing the magazine because it is viewed as such a powerful propaganda tool.
The magazine is produced by the radical preacher Anwar al-Awlaki, one of the leaders of AQAP who has lived in Britain and the US, and his associate Samir Khan from North Carolina.

Both men who are thought to be in Yemen, have associated with radicals connected to Rajib Karim, a British resident jailed for 30 years in March for plotting to smuggle a bomb onto a trans-Atlantic aircraft.

At the time Inspire was launched, US government officials said “the packaging of this magazine may be slick, but the contents are as vile as the authors.”

Bruce Reidel, a former CIA analyst said it was “clearly intended for the aspiring jihadist in the US or UK who may be the next Fort Hood murderer or Times Square bomber.”

In recent days AQAP fighters have capitalised on chaos in Yemen, as the country teeters on the brink of civil war.

Tribal forces marching towards the capital, Sana’a, clashed with troops loyal to President Ali Abdullah Saleh for a third day running yesterday.

can’t keep tabs on freed Muslim terrorists warn security services.

Seems the more I read, the more frustrated and angry I become. And I can’t ignore this stuff friends. Especially as we are among the many who HAVE to fly from time to time.  So you read crap like this and can’t help but wonder. Why?  Why can’t the security services make scum like these guys just disappear?
No fanfare, no announcements or hoopla.  Just quietly gone.  Sure thing some left wing - bleeding heart - libtards will scream about human rights and all that bilge. So make them disappear as well.  How hard could it be?  The world won’t miss the muzzie terrorists or the hand wringers on the left either.

Really tired,tired tired of all the pc bs and the EU and their court of human rights, which does nothing to protect the innocent from harms way.
It isn’t as though these are innocents. Hell, they make their case very clear.  No double talk there.  They want to kill,kill,kill, and they figure correctly that if one of them can take out 10 of us, and more on plane, then they’re ahead of the game.  It isn’t a secret.  So why oh why are the powers that be so worried about their “rights?” Why do they have rights anyway?  Isn’t anything sacrificed on my part, if for example I make it clear that my intention is to kill you?  We aren’t speaking now of evidence that fairly can be questioned. Not talking about a case where there is a chance of mistaken identity.

Jeesh .... Western De(mock)racy seems intent on shooting itself in the head.  And please note. In this case, they aren’t even talking about deporting.

Take a look at this.

We can’t keep tabs on freed Muslim terrorists warn security services
By JASON GROVES
Last updated at 8:04 AM on 1st June 2011

Dozens of convicted Islamic terrorists are to be released from prison this year despite warnings it will be impossible to monitor them.

Ministers have been told that at least 45 terrorists – including several convicted of involvement in bomb plots designed to slaughter hundreds of people – are due to be released in the next 12 months.

They include Saajid Badat, who was sentenced to 13 years in 2005 for his involvement in the notorious shoe-bombing plot, and Moinul Abedin, who was sentenced to 20 years in 2002 for running a bomb factory in Birmingham.

Many of those due for freedom – after serving just half their sentence – are still deemed a threat.

Both the probation service and security services have warned ministers privately that the mass release threatens their ability to cope.

The revelation will intensify debate about Government plans to water down control orders, which are due to be debated by MPs next week.

Critics complain that the plans – championed by Nick Clegg – will make it harder for the security services to keep tabs on terror suspects.

Control orders: Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister, has championed opposition to the controversial orders

Control orders were introduced in 2005 to deal with cases where individuals are suspected of involvement in terrorism but where there is not enough evidence to prosecute.

The planned reforms will end the virtual house arrest of those on control orders.

In future, suspects will be allowed greater access to the internet, allowed telephones and permitted to meet friends. They will be electronically tagged but able to leave their homes for part of each day.

Harry Fletcher, of the National Association of Probation Officers, said that as many as 70 al Qaeda terrorists could be released during the next 12 months, along with about 130 other criminals who have been radicalised in prison and are now classed as dangerous.

He said: ‘They are all deemed high risk, and in profile they are totally different from the rest of the criminals that we deal with.

‘They are more likely to have A-levels and been to college. Therefore, they have to be supervised by us and the police at a fairly intensive level.

‘My fear is that as cuts to the frontline cut deeper, we’re going to be unable to give them the close attention we have hitherto.

‘It’s a real concern that these men require maximum levels of supervision and we’re not going to be able to do it.

‘That will undermine public protection.’

Home Secretary Theresa May told MPs last month that the security services were ‘very conscious of the issues relating to the release of (terrorist) offenders who have completed their prison sentences’.

Labour’s home affairs spokesman Gerry Sutcliffe said cuts to the police and probation service had left them ‘overstretched’.

He also criticised the Coalition for giving in to the demands of Nick Clegg to water down the system of control orders.

Mr Sutcliffe said: ‘I would urge ministers to keep control orders in place until there is a better alternative.’

Tory MP Patrick Mercer said many people did not realise that terrorists, like other criminals, were eligible for release after serving just half their sentence.

Mr Mercer said this underlined ‘the need for a really effective system of control orders because many of these individuals will still be highly dangerous’.

A spokesman for the Probation Service said: ‘Public protection is one of our main priorities and any savings will look to retain frontline services which will ensure the public is protected and re-offending is reduced.

‘The Probation Service must, as with all other areas of Government, make savings.’

Pat Condell on an evil, scrounging islamic dirtbag, protesting America.

As if we don’t know.

It would be nuts to allow this grubby bastard into America BUT .... maybe if he is allowed, as Condell says, you folks at home can get an up close and better look at the creep. And maybe some American with a gun will take the grizzly bearded bastard out and improve the world.

Brits have been putting up with the scrounger for a very long time.  I haven’t a clue why.

Islamic fundamentalists are already imposing their own brutal puritanism

Well,well. What a total and complete surprise. Who could have guessed that these bastards would show up now that the country had found Freedom and Democracy. Or at any rate, listening to liberals talk you’d think that what’s being referred to as an Arab Spring was heralding a new age of .....
What exactly?

Here’s just a small example.

Suspected Islamists otherwise preoccupied themselves with slitting the throat of a Polish Catholic priest, which, if confirmed, would be the first such sectarian murder in modern Tunisian history. And anti-Semitic slogans could be heard outside Tunisia’s main synagogue: this in a country with no history of persecution of its Jewish minority.

Alright I admit I noticed the word “suspected” and suspected does not always mean that the suspect is in fact guilty.
Still though .... I’m thinking cos I’m not trusting these low lifes, who would have done anything like that?  Can’t be me or Drew. I can account for us. Well, I can account for myself but I’m pretty certain Drew is where he always is.  Searching for red haired opera singers.

I don’t think any of our BMEWS regulars would approve this tho I can’t account for all of em.

I know.

BUSH DID IT and if not him ...  Right.  The Jews!  Gotta be.  Hmmm. Wonder where Doc Jeff has been.  It can’t possibly be those hardy members of the Religion of Peace. Those fighters for freedom so long as that freedom consists of thinking like them.

It will be very interesting to see how the Jasmine Revolution plays out over time.

Sex, brothels and the REAL tyranny threatening the Arab world: Islamic fundamentalists are already imposing their own brutal puritanism

By JOHN R BRADLEY

A few hundred metres from the main mosque in the heart of Tunis’s old quarter lies Abdallah Guech Street, a red-light district which has thrived since the 19th century. Here, the Ottomans legalised and regulated prostitution — as they had in much of the rest of the Muslim world.

Uniquely, though, in the Arab world, the tradition in Tunisia endured. Every one of the country’s historic quarters boasts bordellos; even, most remarkably, Kairouan, Islam’s fourth holiest city after Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem.

In keeping with Tunisia’s deep-rooted secularism and unprecedented championing of Muslim women’s rights, the prostitutes carry cards issued by the Interior Ministry, pay taxes like everyone else and enjoy (along with their clients) the full protection of the law.

Or at least they did until last month’s Jasmine Revolution. But last week, faster than you could scream ‘Allahu Akbar’, hundreds of Islamists raided Abdallah Guech Street armed with Molotov cocktails and knives, torching the brothels, yelling insults at the prostitutes and declaring that Tunisia was now an Islamist state.

As soldiers fired into the air to disperse them, the Islamists won a promise from the interim government that the brothels would be permanently closed.

In other cities, brothels were targeted, too; and there have been demonstrations throughout the country — whose economy is heavily dependent on the vibrant tourism industry — against the sale of alcohol.

Suspected Islamists otherwise preoccupied themselves with slitting the throat of a Polish Catholic priest, which, if confirmed, would be the first such sectarian murder in modern Tunisian history. And anti-Semitic slogans could be heard outside Tunisia’s main synagogue: this in a country with no history of persecution of its Jewish minority.

When the Tunisian revolution started last month, it was hailed as a template for the rest of the Arab world. But if revolutions are judged by their outcomes rather than their intentions, then the story of post-revolution Tunisia is equally instructive.

The world’s attention has quickly moved on — to Egypt, Bahrain, Libya or the next theatre of this extraordinary, fast-moving drama.

The phrase ‘Arab Spring’ is being touted as if we were witnessing an unambiguous leap forward for ordinary Arabs: history marching towards democracy and pluralism.

No one wishes to contemplate, let alone prepare for, the alternative — that this might end in the restoration of authoritarian rule or, worse, the triumph of a radical Islam.

When David Cameron visited Egypt this week, there were too few signs of the budding liberal democracy which he and other Western leaders had envisioned. He could hardly congratulate his host, a former Air Force commander, for what was, in effect, another military coup. There was no Lech Walesa figure for him to meet, no secular democratic champion of the new Egypt.

The Muslim Brotherhood remains the only political group of any note. The key to being optimistic about Egypt’s future — and the Arab world more generally — is not to look too closely at what is happening on the ground. And to pay as little attention as possible to the events in Tunisia.

For all its restrictions on direct political participation, for decades, Tunisia was the most secular and progressive country the Islamic world has ever known. The regime was the least brutal in the region, its people the wealthiest and best educated.

The poverty level was just 4  per cent when the revolution broke out, which is among the lowest in the world.

Eighty per cent of the population belonged to the middle class. And the education system — allocated more funding than the army — ranked 17th globally in terms of quality. The veil was banned in public institutions, polygamy was outlawed, mosques were shuttered outside prayer times, and men needed permission from the local police to grow a beard.

BIG,HUGE IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE PRIME MINISTER. BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! HUGE,BIG

Have about a half hour at most and then have to go out for part of the day.
Had to post this first thing cos I find it almost funny in a not so funny way.

Took all the papers from the front porch, dropped em on a chair and took one off the top to read with a fast breakfast. First headline on the second page caught my eye, how could it not as it was quite big.  And why the second page instead of the first?
Because I think even the Mail doesn’t take this all that seriously.  After all this time, suddenly ... the govt. is going to get down to the business of addressing terrorism. Gee, isn’t this a bit of a rush?  Maybe they need to think about it a bit more. You know, we don’t want to rush things.

I’m not even posting the article in whole. The headline and a few words will do. If you’re that interested you’ll click the link as always.
I’m just doing this in this fashion by way of sarcastic DUH!

OK, Pay attention because this comes directly from the PRIME MINISTER. 
(Oh if only The Goons could be brought back from the great beyond.)

Get ready.
Here comes the headline.

Cameron: It’s time to stop tolerating the Islamic extremists

Oh ... so after YEARS and YEARS someone has suddenly made public that that is exactly what has been going on for all this time. Who could have guessed?

The headline continues with:

and get immigrants to respect British ‘core values’

Oh come on sir. Isn’t that asking a bit much after all these years of them taking for granted that they can say fuck you to the British public and get benefits besides?

I think folks here will believe it when they see actual HARD evidence that deeds will follow the words.

By JASON GROVES

David Cameron will today pledge to make Britain ‘a lot less’ tolerant towards Islamic extremists who whip up hatred against the West.
In a major speech on terrorism, the Prime Minister will argue that Britain has been too ‘passive’ towards organisations and preachers who poison the minds of young Muslims.

Mr Cameron will say Britain needs to be less tolerant and more judgemental when faced with ideologies that threaten the country’s basic values.
Signalling a major departure from Labour’s softly-softly approach, he will suggest that to ‘belong’ in Britain, individuals must sign up to core values such as freedom of speech, the rule of law and democracy.

In a barely-concealed attack on the opposition, he will say: ‘It’s time to turn the page on the failed policies of the past.’
The Prime Minister will pledge to end all public funding for groups which give succour to extremist views. And he will call for action to ban extremists from radicalising young people in universities, prisons and internet chat rooms.

At a security conference in Munich today, Mr Cameron will say: ‘Frankly, we need a lot less of the passive tolerance of recent years and much more active, muscular liberalism.’

His warning comes just days after Britain’s independent reviewer of anti-terrorism laws, Lord Carlile, said that human rights rulings had made Britain a ‘safe haven’ for suspected foreign terrorists.

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:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
