Excellent comment on the drugs policy smear job

D C from Canada writes: Anyone taking drugs is part of the criminal world and should go to the camps for 1 year. Anyone distributing or selling should do at least 5 years. It is hard to make people understand that the drug commerce is directly tied at the other end to illegal arms and terrorism. THat little guy with the baggies on the corner is only the first link in a chain that goes to Mexico Columbia, Belfast, Tehran and Pakistan. So. It is NOT about YOUR body ...however precious the druggie might think his or her body is.... It is instead about the protection of the civilian members of society from a commercial enterprise that is illegal for a reason : it is dangerous to our way of life.
Plus druggies are losers and should be in camps on principle. Spend their days marching in formation under Military Police tutelage . Everything you have ever had stolen from your home, your shed or your car has a druggie at the end of it . THey are lice.

Nazanin Afshin-Jam. The verdict (so far)

EXONERATED BUT...
Nazanin Afshin-Jam and Mina Ahadi spoke with Nazanin Fatehi's lawyers today regarding her retrial that took place on January 10th 2007.

They have received verbal confirmation from the court that she will be exonerated from the charge of murder. The incident that took place in March 2005 has been recognized as an act of self-defense, however the court has ruled that disproportionate force was used by Nazanin while trying to defend herself and her 15-year old niece. Accordingly, they have asked Nazanin to pay "dieh" (blood money)* to receive a pardon from the family of the deceased. Once this amount is paid, Nazanin can be released from prison.

Shadi Sadr and Mr. Mostafaei, Nazanin Fatehi's laywers, are appealing this blood money because they believe that Nazanin is innocent for acting in self-defense and therefore she should not have to pay any money. Unfortunately, this appeal may take several months, so in the meantime arrangements may be made to have Nazanin released from prison by paying "bail" money into court.

"I have been made victorious with terror."
ProphetofDoom.net

The Quranic Concept of War
Army War College Journal Parameters

The Quranic Concept of War, by Brigadier General S. K. Malik of the Pakistani Army provides readers with unequalled insight.
Originally published in Pakistan in 1979, most available copies are found in India, or in small non-descript Muslim bookstores. One major point to ponder, when thinking about The Quranic Concept of War, is the title itself. The Quran is presumed to be the revealed word of God as spoken through his chosen prophet, Mohammed. According to Malik, the Quran places warfighting doctrine and its theory in a much different category than western thinkers are accustomed to, because it is not a theory of war derived by man, but of God. This is God’s warfighting principles and commandments revealed. ... The Quranic approach to war is “infinitely supreme and effective . . . [and] points towards the realization of universal peace and justice . . .

...Malik uses examples to demonstrate that Allah will strike “terror into the hearts of Unbelievers.” At this point he begins to develop his most controversial and conjectural Quranic theory related to warfare—the role of terror. Readers need to understand that the author is thinking and writing in strategic terms, not in the vernacular of battles or engagements. Malik continues, “when God wishes to impose His will on his enemies, He chooses to do so by casting terror into their hearts.” . . . . Malik’s strategic synthesis is specific: “the Quranic military strategy thus enjoins us to prepare ourselves for war to the utmost in order to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies, known or hidden, while guarding ourselves from being terror-stricken by the enemy.” Terror is an effect; the end-state....-

Core plan to win Iraq

Clamp down on death squads. Focus on the removal of death squad leaders.

Muqtada al Sadr motivates his *black shirts* to kill any Sunni at any time. These leaders who cause endless executions must be removed before killings will be diminished .

Progress will come when troops form expert *Swat* teams that can zoom in on death squads and cancel them out and most importantly remove their leaders.

Without this core focus , more lives, resources and time will be wasted .

Prediction. I predict Garth Turner will become a Liberal. He's already swooning over Dion.

G&M poll now has 63% saying YES, Canada would be better off without Quebec. Complete reversal of results around 9.00a.m. How long will it stay up. Over 46000 votes so far.

My vote didn't tip the scales, so the count's still 63% to 37%.

Sadly, at this point, my Canada does not have to include Quebec. 'Just too much Quebec-coddling, which is bad for the whole country.

I'd be happy for Quebec to remain in Canada if we leveled the playing field and didn't give Quebec all the leg-ups it's enjoyed for far too long. 'They want to go it the way most of the rest of Canada has had to? Then fine. But if Quebec expects to keep all of its perks and privileges that the rest of the provinces don't have, then, I don't think so...

By the way, over at Political Staples, there's a thread on the recent Decima Poll, which was blatantly biased, asking respondents to choose between two hypothetical promises of first, the Conservatives offering a $1,000 tax break per household versus the Liberals offering a $1,000 tax break limited to households taking pro-environment action.

The response was only 24% for the unlinked $1,000 and 51% for the 'Liberal' linked plan.

Not only is the poll biased by linking the action to a political party - but, I'd bet my last dollar that the poll was carried out over the telephone. No-one, no matter how neutral the tone of the questioner, is going to respond, in person, in a direct interaction, that they are 'not involved in the environment'. No-one.

It was a pure set-up by Decima. Garbage, political propaganda.

From 12.36 pm to 3.57 pm the poll results completey reversed. doesn't take sda readers long to give their opinion. How long will this poll stay up. 63% of cdns say let Quebec go. Wonder if dion saw it, or newman. That should teach celine to quit bashing the west. Nice to know globa warming has been solved, it snowed in TO.

Dairy Farmers Can't Stop Me, Fennell Says

By MICHAEL JIGGINS

ROEBUCK -- Even before the first drop has hit the pail, the Dairy Farmers of Ontario (DFO) has slapped a cease-and-desist order on a local farmer's plan to provide raw milk to people who buy a share in a cow.

Jacqueline Fennell said two DFO inspectors handed the three-page order to her husband, John Conklin, on Friday at their small 100-acre farm west of Roebuck.

Fennell said the visit didn't come as a surprise.

"I figured I'd hear from them at some point," said Fennell.

She insisted Sunday the DFO's "attempt at a threat" won't force her to change plans to start the raw milk flowing to shareholders by the end of this month.

"I'm not going to allow them to intimidate me and my family as they have done with other people," she told The Recorder and Times.

"That is how (DFO) gets their power, by scaring the crap out of people, and they are not going to do it with me."...-

The Little Green Footballs Dictionary

This page is a dictionary of slang terms and neologisms that originated on or were popularized by the Web site Little Green Footballs. It is a work in progress -- no claim to infallibility is made. Corrections and updates will be posted periodically.

Excerpts:

Terms that Originated on LGF

anti-idiotarian - Someone who has his or her head screwed on straight politically; generally used to refer to anyone who grasps the significance of and does his or her best to combat the post-9/11 political alliance between the "Old Left" and militant Islam. [First documented use: Charles 1/5/2002 5:21 PM ]

Darwin Akbar - Another parody of the phrase "Allah Ackbar," used most often when a suicide bomber accidentally blows himself up prematurely in a "work accident." Technically means "Darwin is greater," but refers to the Darwin Awards which are annually given to those individuals who accidentally kill themselves in the most idiotic way, thereby (thankfully) removing their genes from the human gene pool -- a comic inversion of the concept "survival of the fittest."

Terms that Were Not Coined on LGF, But Which Were Popularized by LGF

buzzing prayer rug - A Islamic prayer rug invented by a Jordanian in 2003 that buzzes when the user's forehead touches a metal plate embedded in the rug. Occasionally brought up sarcastically as a wonderful example of "technological innovation" in the modern Islamic world.

PART ONE OF this article (Vanguard N0.51)outlined five of Edmund Burke's ideas which are of relevance to nationalism. These were: that man is tied to a family, locality and nation; that society is organic rather than mechanistic; that the past, present and future are linked; that as a nation we must put our own people first; and that equality, like most abstract doctrines, is "a monstrous fiction". These points were all fundamental to Burke's world view. ...-

6. WISE PREJUDICES
In today's climate, wisdom and prejudice are seen as opposite. Prejudices (pre-judgements in advance of the facts - usually negative pre-judgements) are considered ignorant and irrational. Edmund Burke would have been surprised by this. Unlike modern liberals, Burke examined the origin of prejudice, its nature and function. Prejudice originates in past, collective experiences and contains "the wisdom of the ages". Burke wrote of prejudices: "the longer they have lasted, and the more generally they have prevailed, the more we cherish them". (1)
This is far from irrational. As individuals we have a limited experience of the world, because our lives are short. We rely on knowledge accumulated by generations of our ancestors, which provides a useful shortcut to dealing with our own problems. Our ancestors learned to fear the unknown. When foreign peoples descended on a community (the Danes, Vikings and others) it led to dislocation, conflict and loss. Only people with no experience of history could possibly welcome outsiders and not feel prejudice against them.
The nature of prejudice, is a feeling or emotion which transcends reason. Burke claimed: "When our feelings contradict our theories....the feelings are true, and the theory is false". Feelings are not easy to convey in rational terms. Some of the people who hold prejudices may indeed be ignorant and inarticulate. However the prejudices themselves cannot be ignorant, since they are never the product solely of one mind or time.
The function of prejudice is to act as a survival aid. It rescues us from danger when we do not have time to think from first principles. When humans are confronted by a lion they feel fear. Perhaps they have never met a lion before and its intentions may be entirely benign. But the collective experience of our species is that lions are hostile and so we have a prejudice against them. Burke's conclusion, therefore, is that prejudices are wise. Men of understanding "instead of exploding general prejudices, employ their sagacity to discover the latent wisdom which prevails in them".If they find this wisdom,"they think it more wise to continue the prejudice". ...-

Castro in 'grave condition': Sources
TheStar.com - News - Castro in 'grave condition': Sources
January 15, 2007
Associated Press

MADRID – Ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro is in ``very grave" condition after three failed operations and complications from an intestinal infection, a Spanish newspaper said Tuesday.

The newspaper El Pais cited two unnamed sources from the Gregorio Maranon hospital in the Spanish capital of Madrid. The facility employs surgeon Jose Luis Garcia Sabrido, who flew to Cuba in December to treat the 80-year-old Castro.

In a report published on its Web site, El Pais said: "A grave infection in the large intestine, at least three failed operations and various complications have left the Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro, laid up with a very grave prognosis.''

Cuba has released little information on Castro's condition since he temporarily ceded power in July to his brother, Defence Minister Raul Castro, until he could recover from emergency intestinal surgery, prompting much speculation and rumor in the country and around the world.

El Pais' report, which could not immediately be confirmed, was a rare detailed description from a major media outlet about Castro's condition.

The U.S. government had speculated that Castro could suffer from cancer – a supposition denied by Sabrido. Some U.S. doctors believed Castro was suffering from diverticular disease, which can cause bleeding in the lower intestine, especially in people over 60. In severe cases, emergency surgery may be required.

That idea was supported by El Pais, which reported that its sources said Castro had suffered a bout of the disease.

"In the summer, the Cuban leader bled abundantly in the intestine," El Pais reported. "This adversity led him to the operating table, according to the medical sources. His condition, moreover

In exchange for the guilty plea, charges for stealing a wallet and failing to show up for fingerprints were withdrawn against Grant Edward Nickless, 50.

More Kyoto crimes [sic]

China, set to build 562 new coal plants, is exempt from the rules
By LORRIE GOLDSTEIN, ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Where is the political party in Canada that will take us out of the Kyoto accord, since the deal is an impending economic disaster for us?

When the Liberals under Jean Chretien signed the Kyoto accord in 1998 and, more important, ratified it in 2002, they committed Canadian taxpayers and consumers, without consultation, to one of the most radical programs for reducing greenhouse gases on Earth, with no idea of how to achieve it.

Canada, the world's ninth-largest emitter of man-made greenhouse gases (2.1% of all emissions in 2000), faces cuts no other major industrialized (and northern) country agreed to -- 6% below 1990 levels by 2012 -- which the Grits had already missed by 35% when they were tossed from power a year ago.

By contrast, the U.S., the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases (20.6%), refused to ratify Kyoto because of concerns about the harm it would do to its economy. ...-

French Citoyen Dion's other country, France, was a participant in the Rwandan genocide.
Dion is silent about his loyalty to France. The Rwandans went to their extermination/death in silence. Total deaths = 800,000+ humans.
We await Dion's foreign policy articulation. ...-

The Rwanda genocide used no high-tech means, only clubs and machetes. Yet the extent of murder was unlike anything even in WWII... more» (aldaily.com)

On Evil
by Theodore Dalrymple (Jan. 2007)

I have long been preoccupied by the problem of evil. Not being a philosopher, I have no satisfactory explanation of evil to offer, nor even, indeed, a satisfactory definition of it. For me, evil is rather like poetry was for Doctor Johnson: easier to say what it isn’t than what it is. All I know for certain is that there’s a lot of it about - evil, I mean, not poetry.

Why? Is the heart of man irredeemably evil, or at any rate inclined to evil? What are the conditions in which evil may flourish?

My medical practice, admittedly of a peculiar kind, in a slum and in a prison, convinced me of the prevalence of evil. I was surprised. ...
For three months, the men would get up, have a hearty breakfast, gather together, and then go on hunting expeditions of their former neighbours, who had fled to the nearby marshes. They would hack anyone they found to death; and then, when the whistle blew in the evening for them to stop their ‘work’ (they regarded it as such), they returned home, had a quick wash, had dinner and socialised in a jolly way over a few beers. Their wives would be - for the most part, though not universally - content, because Tutsi property was thoroughly looted, and distributed according to the individual efficiency and ruthlessness of the killers. One of the most haunting things in this book, if it is possible to pick anything out in particular, is that many of the victims did not so much as cry out when caught by the murderous genocidaires: they died in complete silence, ...-

"Peter Loewen: ... So you're probably pretty wise to refrain from serious accusations at this point."

"renegadejet said: I would definitely leave this one alone Jason as it looks worse for Liberals than for Conservatives."

The so-called racism is a load of left-liberal baloney. When the word is thrown out, it is a pejorative for the suppression of dissent. Racism is also called prejudice, i.e., a pre-judgment. The word prejudice is used to control persons since the word is given negative connotations. It is a short step to the b-word... you are a bigot. Prejudice is a normal, reflexive trait of humans.

Kenny has it right: "It is a question of the heart." This is ingrained in the human psyche.
How does a group, tribe, nation survive? By its prejudices; its ancient wisdom.

Poll all you wish, left-liberals. The heart cannot be polled/fooled/deceived.

Chow is a victim? That is a guilt ploy. Forget it, Chow. You live your life; let others live their life. Long live the wisdom of prejudice. ...-

Fight racism, poll urges.

OTTAWA -- Canadians should never be lulled into believing that this country is an inclusive utopia, says Secretary of State for Multiculturalism Jason Kenney.

Everyone should be "on guard" against the ugliness of racism, said the Calgary Conservative MP, responding to a Sun Media-Leger Marketing poll that found 47% of Canadians admit that they harbour racist sentiments. The poll also found that 92% of Canadians had witnessed bigotry in action.

There is little that government can do to stop racism, said Kenney, adding he is reviewing federal anti-racism programs.

"It is a question of the heart. The federal government of Canada cannot change the heart of people who hate others because of their ethnicity," he said.
