Notorious cat killer caught on camera.

Excerpt from Jim Goad's "Liberals Ignore the Facts" at Taki's Magazine:

"Over the years, I watched as liberals slowly became the group most likely to flat-out refuse discussing certain topics and answering certain questions, their purportedly 'open' minds snapping shut like a giant clam. They became the group most likely to try and silence their opponents by shouting them down, defaming them, assaulting them, and even urging legislation to ban the use and expression of certain terms and sentiments. They became the group most disposed toward emotional appeals, double standards, wishful thinking, and wretchedly malodorous sanctimony.

"Up through my teens and twenties, I had considered liberals to be the most open-minded and free-thinking group in America, only to watch them morph into the most ideologically rigid pack of true believers I’d ever seen. With modern American liberalism, it’s as if their cute, multicolored, and sincerely curious little 1960s caterpillar had blossomed into a hardened grey butterfly fossil. Liberalism had become an emotion-driven folk religion that somehow had convinced itself science and logic were on its side..."

The toronto school board should look at this video

Unattended child viciously attacked in China.
This video was taken on July 19th, 2011. While white nations around the world roll out the red carpet for foreigners, this is how white people are treated everywhere else. A young boy is viciously attacked and taunted on a busy street. His main attacker yells “go home white boy” in Mandarin.

The child is possibly a member of one of several Eurasian minority groups in Eastern China.

Shawn: That's hard to watch! How can adults stand around, laugh and join in, hurting and scaring a little kid. Crazy!

What a disturbing video Shawn, I wanted to charge through that crowd with a bat.

Mark Steyn's latest on the fraud that is U.S. Debt Reduction.

Possibly I'm late to the game on this one.

I enlarged that picture of the mosqueteria in the Toronto school and it clearly shows a barricade between the boys prayer section and the girls/menstruating section.
I thought that was worth mentioning,also when enlarged ,there is many more than just a few dozen.

Regarding Shawn's vid:

I thought about Kurtz's lines in Apocalypse Now

"The genius of that, the genius, the will to do that." Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized that they were stronger than we, because they could stand that - these men were not monsters, these were men - trained contras, these men who fought with their hearts, who have families, who have children, who are filled with love - that they have this strength, the strength to do that.

"... it could be a jailhouse scam, such as a wily old con I interviewed once told me about. He used it to rip off young bloods:

“Hey, man,” he’d say to one, “I know where some guys stashed a lot of dough, but they got killer dogs.”

“Dogs don’t scare me. Where?”

“What’s in it for me?”

A macho rounder might spend a C-note to show he’s got balls, the old con explained. If he does, pick any address for them. Most don’t show anyway.

These kids do. The Cabbagetown house they invade belongs to a same-sex couple."

"The late Hugh Garner, a man of the old-fashioned left, chronicled the original working-class neighbourhood in his novel Cabbagetown. In the 1970s Garner became bitterly sarcastic about trendy bien pensants of the new-fangled left buying property in working-class neighbourhoods in a faux-egalitarian display of slumming, driving up prices and making housing unaffordable for the poor. When he published a sequel to his novel in 1976, he called it The Intruders.

“I should have called it Home Intruders,” Garner said to me when I produced a TV drama based on his book for the CBC. “Low income people want higher incomes, not higher-income neighbours.”"

Paul, in my view Shaw Cable will have to extend the "free" cablecasting of SUN TV for more than 6 months unless they can entice a Mark Steyn to the 8 o'clock (Eastern) segment which now conflicts with FOX O'Reilly Factor.
And, I repeat my view that Kate McMillan as a contributor at that time slot would draw millions of readers to SUN TV at 8.

I am blissfully unaware of the details of historic intra-Irish kerfuffles, Dick, and wasn't picking sides. I just liked the sound of it.

Where exactly did Ontario find this genius? I must have missed the string of Quebec prime ministers fighting each other for the chance to fund Western Canada during the last few decades.

“For years, if not decades, governments in Ottawa of all political stripes have sought to find ways to transfer Ontario tax dollars into Western Canada to support the oil and gas industry,” said Mr. McGuinty, when asked in Oakville, Ont., about his views on the meeting.

“Well, how about using Canadian tax dollars to support clean energy industry that is taking place, that is developing – we’re at the forefront in North America, we’re creating thousands of jobs, we’re reducing our contribution to climate change. We’re shutting down coal-fired plants.”

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ontario-tax-dollars-supporting-energy-in-the-west-mcguinty-says/article2103037/comments/

Meanwhile, the poor ignored have-not provinces in Canada -what is it, 7 out of 10 provinces now? - biggest concern is how to wrangle more money out of the three remaining have provinces.

"The pressure is building because equalization is capped to track Canada's Gross Domestic Product.

Ontario received its first equalization payment in 2009-10. Since then that payment has grown by 534 per cent to $2.2 billion this year. Only Quebec, which will take in $7.8 billion, receives more.

That means Ontario is "crowding out" other provinces, says Tom Courchene, a leading Canadian scholar who warns the current situation threatens to destabilize Confederation.

"The poorer Ontario is, the less other provinces are going to get," he says. "It's a big issue and it's going to get bigger."

Recipient provinces are fighting to have the cap removed from the program.

"WOLF: Barack Obama’s pants on fire"

"President told us a whopper about his mother’s health care"

"“I remember Christmas of 1968 sitting on a gunboat in Cambodia. … I have that memory which is seared - seared - in me,” claimed Sen. John F. Kerry, Massachusetts Democrat, explaining the foundation of his anti-war politics. It was a lie. “Her breathing became labored and then she breathed her last breath,” explained an emotional Democratic Vice President Al Gore, claiming how his sister’s lung cancer death formed the foundation of his anti-tobacco politics. It was a lie.

“I have vivid and painful memories of black churches being burned in my own state when I was a child,” claimed Democratic President Bill Clinton, explaining the foundation of yet more government expansion. It was a lie.

“I will never forget watching my own mother … worrying about whether her insurer would claim her illness was a pre-existing condition,” claimed Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, explaining the foundation of Obamacare. This too was a lie.

“I will never forget watching my own mother … worrying about whether her insurer would claim her illness was a pre-existing condition,” claimed Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, explaining the foundation of Obamacare. This too was a lie.

Recent revelations by author Janny Scott in “A Singular Woman: The Untold Story of Barack Obama’s Mother” (Riverhead Hardcover, 2011), show that Stanley Ann Dunham, the president’s mother, was in fact well-insured and, what’s more, her health insurance company - those evil corporatists - never attempted to deny payment for her health care. Stanley Ann’s out-of-pocket expenses amounted to “several hundred dollars a month.” A year after her cancer diagnosis, Stanley Ann applied for disability insurance, for which she was understandably denied. Again, it was disability insurance, not health insurance.

But there’s more to this story."

Saudi Arabia's 'Anti-Witchcraft Unit' breaks another spell
By DAVID E. MILLER / THE MEDIA LINE
07/20/2011 12:15

The unit, established in 2009, is charged with apprehending sorcerers and reversing the detrimental effects of their spells in the Gulf country.

When the severed head of a wolf wrapped in women's lingerie turned up near the city of Tabouk in northern Saudi Arabia this week, authorities knew they had another case of witchcraft on their hands, a capital offence in the ultra-conservative desert kingdom.

Agents of the country’s Anti-Witchcraft Unit were quickly dispatched and set about trying to break the spell that used the beast’s head.

Saudi Arabia takes witchcraft so seriously that it has banned the Harry Potter series by British writer J.K. Rowling, rife with tales of sorcery and magic. It set up the Anti-Witchcraft Unit in May 2009 and placed it under the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (CPV), Saudi Arabia's religious police.

"In accordance with our Islamic tradition we believe that magic really exists," Abdullah Jaber, a political cartoonist at the Saudi daily Al-Jazirah, told The Media Line. "The fact that an official body, subordinate to the Saudi Ministry of Interior, has a unit to combat sorcery proves that the government recognizes this, like Muslims worldwide."

The unit is charged with apprehending sorcerers and reversing the detrimental effects of their spells. On the CPV website, a hotline encourages citizens across the kingdom to report cases of sorcery to local officials for immediate treatment.

In the case of the wolf's head, the Anti-Witchcraft Unit in Tabouk was able to break the spell. The Saudi daily Okaz reported on Monday that the unknown family that had fallen victim to the spell had been "liberated from the jaws of the wolf.”

The Anti-Witchcraft Unit was created in order to educate the public about the danger of sorcerers and "combat manifestations of polytheism and reliance on other Gods," the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

The belief in sorcery is so widespread in Saudi Arabia, that it is even used as a defense in criminal court cases. Last October, a judge accused of receiving bribes in a real-estate project told a court in Madinah that he had been bewitched and is undergoing treatment by Quranic incantations, known as ruqiyah, a common remedy for the evil eye.

Jaber noted, however, that most sorcerers both inside and outside the kingdom were charlatans that take advantage of illiterate citizens who believed they were afflicted by the evil eye. He said that such beliefs were more prevalent among older, rural and often illiterate individuals than with younger, educated Saudis.

"A while ago my arm was hurt and I couldn't draw," the cartoonist said. "Many older people told me that I must have been afflicted by the evil eye and should be treated by a Sheikh."

"It's a matter of ignorance," Jaber added. "If people were more educated they wouldn't believe in this."

The last time Saudi Arabia executed a convicted sorcerer was in late 2007, but this did not indicate the penalty has since been lifted, Cristoph Wilcke, a senior Middle East Researcher at Human Rights Watch and expert on Saudi Arabia, told The Media Line.

Human Rights Watch had appealed King Abdullah in 2008 to halt the death sentence of Fawza Falih, a Saudi woman, on charges of witchcraft. The sentence was postponed, but Falih died in prison of ill health.

Saudi Arabia lacks a penal code, making court decisions on whether a given act constitutes witchcraft completely dependant on the judge's discretion, Human Rights Watch said.

"We hear time and again of foreigners, such as Ethiopians or Nigerians, accused of sorcery in Saudi Arabia because of traditional practices from their countries of origin," Wilcke said. "They are usually apprehended by the religious police, brought to court, and let off with a warning or lashes."

In other cases, however, false accusations are made against foreign domestic workers in order to counter their charges of sexual harassment within a Saudi household.

"They will often say that the [female] domestic worker bewitched the Saudi into falling in love with her," Wilcke noted.

Belief in sorcery is not necessarily more widespread in Saudi Arabia than in other Gulf countries, Wilcke added. On Monday, the Emirati daily Al-Khaeej reported that Dubai police had arrested an Arab African national on charges of fraud and sorcery, after he charged 15,000 Dirham ($4,000) from a woman whose husband had left her, promising to bring him back using magic.

But the strictly Orthodox brand of Islam practiced in Saudi Arabia, known as Wahhabism, did contribute to the country's zero-tolerance policy on magic, Wilcke noted.

"Wahhabism believes in strict monotheism," Wilcke said. "Sorcery is a way of praying to someone other than God."

"GAZA (Reuters) - Most safe-houses in the Gaza Strip are meant to provide protection for armed militants on Israel's target list. Now Gaza is offering protected shelter to battered Palestinian women.

Its lone women's safe-house, opened two months ago, has had eight clients, all guarded by police from the Islamist Hamas movement that runs the enclave and enforces a conservative though not radical Muslim religious code.

So-called 'honor killings' are rare but not unknown among religious Palestinians of Gaza and the West Bank, and like every society it is not immune to wife-beating."
