  2. Police in Brussels spent 9-11 beating and arresting demonstrators who were protesting the Islamization of Europe.
    The demonstration was banned by Brussels’ Muslim-dominated Socialist party. Among those arrested were the Flemish Vice President, the leader of a Belgian Party and an Italian European MP.
    Brussels Journal has video of the whole thing. You can find links to that by clicking my name at the bottom of this comment.

  3. Oh crap, looks like PM Harper is getting a case of the Ottawa PCS (politically Correct syndrome). I am disappointed to say the least but I am surprised that the trolls are not jumping with glee.

  4. Read the “harper to task” article and then in the articles comments section what wjp had to say:
    “wjp Says:
    September 12th, 2007 at 9:16 am
    Agreed. Completely. However, as an American currently living in Ottawa, I see Harper’s stmt much differently. He leads a minority government and is under great pressure from the endemically anti-American, pacifist Canadian center, whom he is courting for enough votes to pull a majority in the next election, to say all the politically correct things that one expects these aphasiacs to demand.
    He is at heart a Reagan-esque conservative/libertarian. However, that’s a politically suicidal ideology in Canada. We should, therefore, consider his statements in the context of his current political struggle.
    BTW, let’s recall what John Howard said to the Canadian Parliament when he visited Ottawa last year. The Australian Prime Minister, in possession of a hefty mandate to rule his country, mounted the podium and proceeded to lecture the Canadian legislators that they should thank God that America is the prevailing power in the currently unipolar world instead of constantly sniping and hectoring us like petulant adolescents. If Harper had such a commanding political position he would say the same thing.”

  5. The junk science article, perfect example of something that is dressed up like science but isn’t. I find it alarming that American journals and scientific societies continue to allow this kind of thing. The Left has its claws in deep.
    Anyway, here’s some more MSM publishing enemy propaganda as news: Reuters via Drudge
    http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSL1155952320070912?feedType=RSS&feedName=worldNews&rpc=22&sp=true
    “Russia has tested the world’s most powerful vacuum bomb, which unleashes a destructive shockwave with the power of a nuclear blast, the military said on Tuesday, dubbing it the “father of all bombs”.
    Ooooh a VACUUM bomb, how AWFUL! We better all run out and appease the Russians right now!
    If you read down a little you discover its a big daisy cutter. Fuel/air bomb. In use since Vietnam. Thanks for the heads up, Comrade Reuters.

  6. Full text of Harper’s speech is available at:
    http://www.pm.gc.ca/eng/media.asp?id=1818
    The wording of that passage is a bit awkward, but the speech seems to be justifying the Canadian military presence in Afghanistan. His statement could be interpreted as saying that “we need to be over there to stabilize the society, otherwise we could be in for more attacks” – as opposed to “they attacked us because they were poor”. Given that Harper slammed Chretien over his comments in line with the latter interpretation, I’ll go with the former.

  7. Nathan Schmidt, I read Harper’s remarks exactly the same way. When I read his statement, I understood him to mean that we must not abandon the people of Aghanistan to the terrorists or we will find ourselves one day in the same situation. Fight them there or fight them here.

  8. Are Ontario leftards more retarded than leftards from the ROC?
    So, sadly, a 16 year old highschool kid gets stabbed to death off of school property. Naturally the MSM labels it as a “School killing.” And, further, naturally, the Ontario Liberals call for a handgun ban.

    Anbar Province government dedicates success vs. Al Qaeda to 9/11 victims
    RAMADI, Iraq – When members of the government of Anbar Province met with President Bush last week, they presented him with a letter dedicating their success in wiping out Al Qaeda here to the victims of Sept. 11.
    The letter, which was obtained by the Daily News, was signed by Anbar Governor Mamoun Sami Rashid, Provincial Council Chairman Abdul-Salam Abdullah, and Sheik Sattar abu Risha, the sheik credited with beginning the Anbar Awakening.
    “In the month when the terrorists attacked the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, we dedicate the victory of Anbar Province to the families of the victims who suffred that criminal act,” the letter said, which was addressed directly to Bush.
    “With the help of the president of the United States, we pledge to continue to cooperate and communicate with you to continue to get good results,” the letter said. …-

    The Woodstock Generation and Norman Hsu (long read, but quite insightful)
    The Wall Street Journal has partially solved the riddle of where Norman Hsu got the money he used to donate substantial sums to Hillary Clinton’s Senatorial and Presidential campaigns as well as numerous other Democratic candidates.
    Joel Rosenman, the producer of the Woodstock rock concerts in 1969 and 1994 gave Hsu’s company an astonishing $40 million “investment” with which Mr. Hsu has apparently absconded: (WSJ Subscription required):
    New documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal may help point to an answer: A company controlled by Mr. Hsu recently received $40 million from a Madison Avenue investment fund run by Joel Rosenman, who was one of the creators of the Woodstock rock festival in 1969. That money, Mr. Rosenman told investors this week, is missing…-

  11. The latest disgrace to spew from Trudeau’s socialist Charter:
    DEPORTEE CAN STAY TO CHANGE RELIGION
    “Declaring “everyone has the right to change religion,” a federal court judge is allowing a failed refugee claimant who was ordered out of Canada after a criminal conviction to remain in the country to continue a religious conversion.”
    “Federal Court of Canada Judge Sean Harrington stopped this Saturday’s deportation of a Christian man from Brazil so he can complete his conversion to Judaism alongside his Jewish wife and his sponsoring rabbi.”

  12. Over at Instapundit “terror trial that’s not getting much coverage” for those interested in the “Muslim Brotherhood”.

  13. Harper has certainly silenced his enemies, the Liberal Lefoids and Socialists can’t criticize his statement.
    Problem is if he can’t be true to his own beliefs and that of his followers, what does he really stand for?
    Emulating Chretien’s Bullshit won’t sell among Conservatives or anyone capable of reasoned thought.

  14. Reid. I can say, with authority, that Ontario(read Toronto) is the home to Canada’s most moronic leftoids. I think it has to do with the bad crack and dirty air, but who really knows. Just watch chimpy mcidiot as he tries to blame PMSH for the recent stabbing, because you know damn well it was some shotgun owning farmer’s fault.

  15. Documents: Anonymous Tip Led To Hsu Arrest

    Posted on 09/12/2007 10:39:48 AM PDT by jdm
    This is a really strange article. The most important part of the story is the last sentence. I haven’t seen this reported elsewhere.
    An anonymous tip to the FBI led to the arrest of disgraced Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu in Colorado, according to recently unsealed court documents. […]
    Second last sentence: “It is not clear when Hsu will be released from the hospital.”
    Last sentence:
    “NBC11 reported he was taken to the surgical wing.”

    Taliban Admit Defeat
    Strategy Page ^ | September 11, 2007
    The Taliban offered to begin negotiating with the government. In Afghan parlance, that’s the Taliban way of saying they are defeated and want to discuss peace terms. Over the past few months, Taliban attacks have become increasingly desperate, and bloody. But most of the dead have been Taliban. The only “successful” attacks have been those using suicide bombers, and these kill mostly Afghan civilians.
    The Taliban were able to build up a war chest in the last few years, allowing them to hired thousands of unemployed young men. But casualties have been high, with over a third of these hired gunmen getting killed, wounded or captured. In the last two weeks, over 200 Taliban gunmen have been killed in battles with Afghan and foreign troops. But the biggest source of problems has been the stupid things they do. Recently, a Taliban group kidnapped a dozen deminers. This sort of thing is very unpopular with Afghans, as even the Taliban (officially, anyway) recognize the deminers as immune from attack. The millions of mines and explosives still in the ground don’t discriminate between Taliban or non-Taliban. The deminers are arguably more important to the Taliban, who often sneak around at night in out-of-the-way places. The Taliban also make themselves unpopular by attacking food relief convoys. One recent attack saw 13 Taliban and two police killed in such an unsuccessful attack. The Taliban want to shut down humanitarian and reconstruction projects, and thus force Afghans to support the Taliban in order to get any help at all. Most Afghans resent this sort of intimidation.
    All this failure caused a split in the Taliban high command. Actually, the Taliban movement has always been a coalition, and the Afghan government has already negotiated with several pro-Taliban tribes, and arranged for a change of allegiance. The current Taliban strength is mostly in Pakistan, where the Pushtun tribes there are feuding with the central government over tribal rights. Just across the border in Afghanistan, the Pushtun trines ARE the government. Pushtuns are a small minority (less than five percent of the population) in Pakistan, but are the largest minority (40 percent of the population) in Afghanistan. For centuries, peace usually came to Afghanistan when the Pushtun, and non-Pushtun, tribes agreed on which Pushtun tribal chief would be “king” of the country. The current elected president of Afghanistan is a Pushtun tribal leader.
    Negotiations with the Taliban thus involved dealing with warlords from both sides of the border. The drug lords, who have been bankrolling the Taliban, also have to be taken into account. The drug lords, most of whom come from Afghanistan, have been the biggest supporters of the Taliban resurgence. It’s in the drug gangs interest for government control to be weak in areas where most drug producing operations take place (like Helmand province, south of the western city of Kandahar). But the Taliban need some relief. They are at war with the Pakistani government and their Pakistani bases are in danger….-

    YUSUFIYAH, Iraq (CNN) — Until recently, Yusufiyah was among the most dangerous places in Iraq.
    Located in the so-called “triangle of death,” a violent area south of Baghdad, it was the site of frequent clashes between coalition forces and Sunni fighters. In May, two U.S. soldiers went missing in Yusufiyah and were never found, despite a massive search.
    But today, Sunni tribal leaders in this town cooperate with U.S. forces in their battle against foreign fighters and al Qaeda in Iraq. …-

    Iranian Special-ops Unit Flees Iraq to Avoid Capture
    Fearing capture, a special-operations unit that reports directly to Iran’s ruling mullahs has fled Iraq, U.S. defense officials say. Tehran’s decision to recall the Qods Forces is being hailed inside the U.S. command in Baghdad because it rids Iraq, at least for now, of a particularly lethal group. Qods operatives, who might have numbered in the hundreds inside Iraq, armed and trained Shiite extremists who have killed American troops and Iraqis.
    Qods is the covert section of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, the enforcement arm of the Tehran regime. Qods is the only unit in the Corps that answers to the hard-line mullahs.
    Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, disclosed the Qods Forces’ return to Iran in congressional testimony Monday, but did not elaborate. …-

  18. From today’s Daily Reckoning – priceless because of the names of the companies involved:
    “The geniuses who run hedge funds must see the traps, too. Still, many walk right in. Moody’s says the default rate on high-yield debt is likely to double. And today’s news brings word that two more large funds have barred withdrawals. Investors are trapped in Pirate Capital and Y2K Finance. Pirate says that two of its Jolly Roger funds have lost 80% of their money in the past year. And Y2K, run by Wharton Asset Management, is down a similar amount.”
    Those Y2K bandits and their problems…

  19. Bourque headline:
    UH-OH! DION GOT “IN-OUT” TRANSFERS FROM LIBERAL HQ
    Bourque links to:
    Stephane Dion’s advertising spending trick
    […]
    It sure looks like Stephane Dion used $12,200 to buy advertising from the Quebec wing of the party.
    But the advertising didn’t cost him anything! Heck, was there any advertising even purchased?
    So what happened to the $12,200?
    Well, on May 7, the national campaign transfered exactly $12,200 to the Stephane Dion’s riding association, but as a monetary transfer: [chart]
    And that closes the loop. The riding association creates a purchase out of their non-monetary budget for “other” advertising that doesn’t actually cost the riding association a dime to make. That money that was allocated against the free advertising then goes to the Quebec wing of the federal party, where a week later it returns to the riding association as cash.
    Did I say that closed the loop? Not quite. The Liberal Party as a whole has to file a return, and Part 3b lists all the transfers to riding associations. I checked the 2004 and 2005 returns, and no transfers of $12,200 (or amounts large enough to include that amount) are listed as being made to the St-Laurent-Cartierville riding assocation. On June 10, 2004, there is a $300 transfer to the riding association. And in Part 2e that lists transfers received from riding associations, there is nothing from St-Laurent-Cartierville at all.

    Chretien to reveal ‘problems of being prime minister’
    Former prime minister Jean Chrétien has revealed a few bits of information from his upcoming memoirs, which will track the 10 years that he led the country.
    “The book is about the problems of being prime minister,” Chrétien, the Quebec-born Liberal who held the top post from 1993 to 2003, said at a news conference at Montreal’s Ritz-Carlton hotel late Wednesday.
    […]
    * Note: Don’t waste your money on this book. Chretien isn’t in the “slammer” yet and his book needs a few more chapters.
