Chapters-Indigo Boycott: the slo-mo Kristallnacht continues

Kathy here, guest blogging for Kate…
Time to go shopping again, kiddies!
The Jew-haters at Rabble are publicizing the latest Boycott Chapters-Indigo Picket this Saturday, June 9, in which handfuls of (literally) smelly (I know: I shoved through them last time) unemployed misguided losers protest outside bookstores because a Jewish woman owns them.
Here’s a chant you can use:
Hippies, hippies, you’re so sad/ We charge you with smelling bad!
Warning: this Rabble thread contains the words “apartheid” and “Chomsky.” Those with pre-existing medical conditions may want to consult their doctor etc. Note one lone voice of reason is manfully trying to argue using facts — poor thing…
Israel is the only nation in the history of civilization expected to give up land it captured in a war, and Palestinians are the only “refugees” still hanging around waiting to go back “home.” Watch old footage of Nassar and co. around the 6 Day War. They don’t talk about “Israel”, they always say “the Jews.” That’s all you need to know.

Montreal man killed for being a “bad Muslim”

“When a society imports large numbers of people from a culture that tolerates this kind of murder of the religiously deviant, or at very least from countries in which many people believe that if El-Mehdi really was a bad Muslim, then he deserved everything he got, then no one should be surprised when this kind of thing happens in the new land. No one dares address the idea that it is permissible to murder apostates in Islam. No one would dare require immigrants to renounce this idea. No one would dare require mosques to hold programs teaching against this idea, and other Sharia provisions, if they want to stay in the West. No, they’re imported wholesale, with no consideration of the ramifications…”

A helluva way to score some extra frequent flier points

From the Boston Globe, via Blackfive:

Shortly before landing, Bob Hayden and a flight attendant had agreed on a signal: When she waved the plastic handcuffs, he would discreetly leave his seat and restrain an unruly passenger who had frightened some of the 150 people on board a Minneapolis-to-Boston flight Saturday night with erratic behavior.
Hayden, a 65-year-old former police commander, had enlisted a gray-haired gentleman sitting next to him to assist. The man turned out to be a former US Marine.
“I had looked around the plane for help, and all the younger guys had averted their eyes. When I asked the guy next to me if he was up to it, all he said was, ‘Retired captain. USMC.’ I said, ‘You’ll do,’ ” Hayden recalled. “So, basically, a couple of grandfathers took care of the situation.”

I’m with Blackfive on this, Hayden’s wife’s comments at the end of the piece are perfect.

Where Anbar Goeth

A month ago in this post I wrote about how the Anbar Awakening was moving downstream along the west bank of the Euphrates.
In Khalidiyah, the SAA had taken control of security for their own villages under the supervision of the Habbaniyah police and under the watchful eye of the Marines.
The awakening started in Ramadi and has now spread to Hit, Haditha and points west to the West bank of the Euphrates just north of Fallujah and then to the south near Amariyah/Ferris.
The tribes along the west bank are all tied into each other and some of the sub-tribes who have not joined the awakening are finding themselves in armed intra-tribal conflict.
The awakening has now spontaneously leapt the Euphrates and taken hold in an unlikely area–al Kharmah.

[E]ven if a person was to circulate to every battalion in Iraq, by they time he finished, the situation would have changed at the battalions he visited first.
This is the nature of warfare. But many members of Congress think after a five-day-junket and a few power point presentations they can make sweeping pronouncements that they understand Iraq.
Which makes them fools and possibly liars.

It’s a long report, with photos.

An Inconvenient Knob
: by Junker

My personal limo slipped through the cool Tennessee evening. The soft glow of Nashville burned gently behind me as my driver expertly guided the large vehicle through the city suburbs. Ahead I could just make out my final destination. It was a home, larger than most, and indeed, the biggest in the neighborhood. All along its lengthy drive tall lamp posts pierced the blanketing darkness with splashes of light. The home itself stood in near daylight, bathed in countless lights that dazzled that eyes. Around its base a gaggle of limo’s identical to my own sat dispersed here and there. Normally, I preferred to travel by less conspicuous means, but the host had insisted, and sometimes one must comply to the insistent needs of blogging, and go where it guides.
I stepped out onto the cobblestone drive and embraced the sharp cool air. It was certainly unseasonably cold for Nashville this time of year, and it reminded me of home. Unconsciously I straightened my tux and strode confidently toward the entrance. The outward confidence I displayed was nothing more than a bluff, a cheap trick I had learned over years of doing this sort of thing. Inside I dreaded the prospect of an evening at this particular shindig. Still, my blog readers demanded, and I would certainly try to deliver.

Failed Strategy

With the killing yesterday of a UN Peacekeeper in Darfur, it has become obvious to all that the UN strategy in Darfur has failed. The recent death is the latest in a series of killings that have claimed the lives of 18 African Union Peacekeeping troops.
Clearly, far to much is being spent on UN and AU military operations, and not enough on reconstruction which would offer jobs and hope to the Muslim militias who have been on a rampage killing other tribes. Military offensive operations have angered and upset Muslim militias, and now they have responded.
Furthermore, a negotiated settlement with Sudan’s government and its supporting militias should now be considered. We should all sit down at the table of reason and discuss a settlement that will make sense. The shooting of the UN Peacekeeper is all the proof we need that the American inspired mission needs to be revamped.
The best “way forward”:

1. Immediately withdraw UN and AU forces to safer regions of Darfur.
2. Open negotiations with Muslim militias and the Sudanese Government.
3. Increase recontruction budgets by 1000%.
4. Set an exact date for the removal of all UN and AU troops.
5. Put in place a series of benchmarks for the tribes under UN and AU protection so that they no longer anger the Muslim tribes.
6. Reject all harmonization with the neo-con agenda.

Populating a Baby-Starved Canada

From Cjunk comes a discussion on immigration. Whether you like it or not, immigration is critical to Canada’s economic survival. Why? Because Canadians are shrinking their numbers at a rate of 1.6 children per family:

Without immigration, Canada will die.
With the wrong immigration, Canada will die.
Here’s how it works:
With a birthrate of 1.6 children per family, Canada will collapse as a modern industrialized state if immigration is not accelerated. Skilled and unskilled immigrants are needed … not tomorrow, but yesterday. And, as the number of grandparents of Canadians begins to exceed grandchildren, Canada’s rich welfare state will ring the cash register dry if new blood does not pour in from the developing world.
On the flip side, if Canada pursues a policy of extending open doors to regions of the world that have populations which, either religiously or culturally, are loath to adapt to Western Liberal Democratic ideals, Canada will inject into her veins a pathogen that will kill her as sure as the EU is killing itself today.

The moral moment

Afghanistan is a place that for a few fleeting moments can make even the best soldiers long to be somewhere else. Maybe the desire hits you during a ramp ceremony, or maybe as your patrol is about to leave a secure camp or forward operating base as your mind contemplates all the ways you could go and get yourself killed that day.
Sometimes you find yourself reflecting on your career choice, find yourself wondering if dead fathers do a better job of raising their kids than unemployed ones. On a bad day you might even do the brief mental math of considering leaving the CF as fast as possible. But the moment passes, swept away by good training, or more likely a sense of duty to those around you. So you take a deep, dusty breath and you do your job, and somewhere in the T-bill of moral accounting you gain a sum in the credit column because you did a good thing, you kept a promise to people who need you.

The Canadian soldier I’ve quoted above is soon to be posted away from the Afghan mission. But given the recent public opinion polling Kate has been deservedly trashing, I find it interesting that he said to me “I don’t need a break, I need for people to do the right thing.”
He’s talking to you, Canada.

A Close Encounter

Michelle Malkin has lots of coverage of today’s shooting at Virginia Tech, including a chilling e-mail from someone in a targeted classroom:

Finally one of the guys in the front of the classroom was brave enough to get up and move the desk in front of the door to prevent outside entry. About twenty seconds later, the shooter rattled the doorknob trying to get in. When he couldn’t get in he fired two shots through the door (single solid piece of wood) and left. We heard him go in to 206 (the room across the hall) and shoot the people in that room. If we hadn’t put the barricade up when we did, I and all my classmates would be dead.

Excellent move – hard to believe this could have been even worse.

What do “Meat” and Dr. Allan Gore Have In Common

A lot actually …

The price of meat is set to rise in America as the nation’s helter-skelter dash to convert corn into road fuel begins to take its toll on the supply of food.
The US Department of Agriculture has said that meat supply will fall this year because of the high cost of feed. Output of beef, pork and chicken is expected to decline by one billion pounds as farmers react to the soaring cost of feeding their livestock.

Nude Nooky is Naughty

… at least according to some “scholars”:

… when one looks out onto the Muslim landscape, it’s as if millions of 1400 year old corpses came to life and infested our good earth. I’m not talking about your average just-want-to-make-a-better-life for my family Muslim … I’m talking about the other millions who are fundamentalists. Sometimes I think they can’t surprise me anymore … but guess what … surprise!!!!

China’s Murder Bus

China is now killing people so fast that nice shiny new buses, complete with leathal injection beds, are being sent around the country … 99.9% of all those sentenced to death … are:

The reality is that China has become the execution capital of the world, killing more “criminals” each year (3500 to 10,000) than are killed in the entire rest of the world combined. So much for George Bush’s Texas.

Only Nice Children Have Sex

At what age should children be subjected to “explicit” sex ed? The Brits (and at least one Canuck) seem to think, or so it would appear, that virtually any age will do … after all, the family with it’s sexual constraints is evil … right?

Brock Chisholm, the Canadian doctor who became Director-General of the World Health Organisation, decreed that children should be freed from national, religious and other cultural prejudices inflicted on them by their parents. He advocated that classroom sex education should be introduced, “eliminating the ways of the elders by force if necessary.” As Valerie Riches has noted in Sex Education or Indoctrination? another like-minded American family planner, Mary Calderone, called for “liberating children from their families” and “abolishing the family as we know it”.

Watching Afghanistan

I’ve been running Afghanistan Watch for several months now in an attempt to offer readers a one-stop location for news and opinion on the Afghan conflict. Headline stories are best served up by the normal sources, although I do post those. What I try to do though, is dig up news and opinion that may not be easily found.
Although I’m a supporter of the Canadian mission, I do post many opinion pieces that counter my own view … how else is one to form a logical and strong opinion if one never considers what the other side has to say; and the other side has a lot of good points to consider.
So, for those who haven’t given Afghanistan Watch a snoop, check us out. We post most days, although not until about noon central … that way we can be sure that most national and international sources for the day have been checked out.
Today’s News and Op-ed include:
– A look at the Pashtuns
– A squabble within the CF about Advanced First Aid
– Aussies are moving in … with guns blazing
– A Huge NATO offensive is underway … did you know?
– The Waziristan truce if over … as tribes and Pak troops hammer Al Qaida
– Romeo Daillaire says … stay put and fight
This and more @ Afghanistan Watch

Classic right wing talk radio

It’s Greatest Hits Week on Hugh Hewitt. If you haven’t heard his infamous 2006 interview with “excitable” Andrew Sullivan, you’re missing out.
Even better is what happened in the very next segment: a completely improvised, unscripted bit in which the great James Lileks mocks Sully’s hysterical paranoia.
Actually, I don’t have a good excuse for posting these links, other than they’re really entertaining.
And the fact that Lileks, in full faux Sullivan flight, sounds exactly — EXACTLY — like Dr. Dawg…
