Conservative guesses ‘global warming’ is real cause of libtardation

From here:




Hi. I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. I admit it. Global warming is real and is warping Americans’ brains. Either that or Democrats are really, really dumb. They voted for Barack Obama … twice. They think our economy is in “recovery.” Now they are getting ready to vote for Hillary Clinton. It must be global warming.

What else explains the stupidity, idiocy and delusion? What else explains the self-destructive behavior? What else explains Obama refusing to lift a finger to stop ISIS, in denial there is a problem,  after ISIS has already taken over half of Syria and Iraqi city after city, headed for Baghdad, while Obama keeps repeating the massive lie: “I have a plan.” A plan? Obama won’t even admit the “IS” in ISIS stands for Islamic State. Win the war? We aren’t even allowed to call a Muslim a Muslim! Can you imagine in World War II if we weren’t allowed to call Germans Nazis?

Your typical Democrat voter is either an idiot or maybe global warming is real and turning their brains to mush.

Every Democrat in the country screamed in shock and dismay when George W. Bush added $4 trillion in debt, yet they don’t see a thing, hear a thing or say a thing about Obama adding $8 trillion — and by the end of his second term $12 trillion, three times more.

Has global warming turned them all into brain-dead zombies?

Clinton erased 32,000 emails, promising they were none of our business. She wiped her server clean and refuses to discuss it. Her Democratic supporters say, “Nothing to see here,” and echo her famous, “What difference does it make?” Surely, they can’t be that stupid!

It must be global warming causing them to bury their empty heads in the sand.

Hillary, while secretary of state, collected $2 billion for the Clinton Foundation, mostly from foreign governments. Then those same countries were awarded government contracts and awards. Anyone else would be tried for treason and bribery. A Republican doing the same thing would be worried about spending years in prison, not the White House.

Obama and Hillary covered up the Benghazi scandal — arms dealing, a terrorist attack and murders — to win the 2012 election. What do her Democrat supporters say about all this? “What difference does it make?”

It can only be global warming hollowing out the brains of Democrats.

Hillary took millions of dollars in donations from governments that stone, whip and jail women for “the crime” of being rape victims. Yet she claims to be a hero for women’s rights and that Republicans are at war with women. What do Democrats say? “Right on, Hillary!”

Only global warming causing severe mental illness could explain this.

Hillary says she “fights for the middle class” while demanding $250,000 per speech, plus a private jet and the presidential suite at the fanciest hotel in town, while giving speeches at colleges where middle-class kids will graduate with massive debt and no job prospects.

Then she complains about CEO compensation while collecting $30 million in the past 16 months for selling her influence as secretary of state. Yet Democrats and young progressives ignore the blatant corruption and hypocrisy. Surely, they aren’t that stupid?

It must be due to global warming that has melted their brains to the point they couldn’t spell “cat” if we spotted them the “C” and the “A.” They just walk forward like zombies, eyes looking up through their skulls, mumbling: “Hillary, Hillary, Hillary!”

Obama and John Kerry call “global warming” and “climate change” America’s biggest threat, worse than terrorism. They say we must reconfigure the entire U.S. economy and kill coal and oil to become a “green energy nation” while ignoring the fact that the green energy sham has destroyed the EU, left the continent in economic collapse, killed millions of jobs and produced youth unemployment rates of 55 percent or higher in “green countries” like Spain.

The media never mentions the “inconvenient fact” that the results in the EU are so bad even socialist leaders now publicly admit that green energy kills jobs and bankrupts nations. Nor do they mention that while the EU has scuttled the greenhouse gas emissions standards that killed economies, Obama demands we institute those same standards in America. Insanity.

How can it be that the mainstream media doesn’t think to mention any of this? How could Democrats not notice the tragedy in Spain, Greece, Italy or France? Green energy saves the planet while it destroys the economy. So you’re broke, living in misery, starving. And you’re breathing the same dirty air. Because no matter how many jobs you kill in the interest of saving the planet, China and India just keep doubling their pollution. So you’ve accomplished nothing — except ruining your economy. No one thinks to mention this?

Global warming is the only possible reason this is happening. It must be like heroin combined with crack cocaine and crystal meth. There must be a genetic weakness within the DNA of Democrats and the mainstream media.

Obamacare is a proven failure. How do I know? The two most liberal, brain-dead states where everyone loves Obama and big government have given up: Vermont and Hawaii. Vermont just closed its entire healthcare experiment. It went bankrupt. Obamacare exchanges across America are going broke – including in Hawaii. If Obamacare can’t work in Hawaii with a small population and $205 million in taxpayer subsidies, it can’t work anywhere.

Then, there are cities like Chicago, Detroit and Baltimore that have been run 100 percent by Democrats and progressive policies for 50 straight years. All are bankrupt, abandoned, violent, crime-ridden hellholes. Residents, in all but the most affluent neighborhoods, live in misery. After pouring billions into them, their schools are a disaster. Drugs are sold in broad daylight. No one can walk the streets at night; violent animals rule. But Democrats want to use the exact same policies to “save” America.

Global warming has to be the cause, and it must turn Democrats into brain-dead zombies.

America, under Obama, has become a low-wage, part-time economy with close to zero gross domestic product growth. Obama has presided over a record 40+ straight months of 46 million or more citizens on food stamps — a permanent underclass living in misery, just like in Cuba, Venezuela and Greece. Why would anyone be surprised? Obama is using the exact same progressive policies as the socialists in Cuba, Venezuela and Greece. But Democrats don’t notice.

I can only think global warming is the leading cause of blindness and deafness in Democrats.

Something has obviously dumbed down the young people. They are clueless that the Obama plan is printing trillions of dollars in new, fake money, thereby forcing the stock market to record heights.

That makes Obama’s biggest donors wealthy beyond their wildest imagination, but leaves the average middle-class kid with the bill: a crushing $250,000 of debt. They are graduating from college with massive debt and no opportunity for a decent job — to live in their parents’ basement in record numbers. Yet college grads vote Democrat because they get free contraception and abortion.

Global warming must be especially deadly to young brains, leaving holes the size of manhole covers.
My fellow Jewish Americans don’t notice Obama’s hatred of Israel and that every action proves he is on side of radical Muslims. “He is Israel’s best friend,” say delusional Jewish Democrats.

But Israelis know the truth. They see Obama as the worst American president by a landslide. It isn’t even close: 63 percent versus 16 percent for second place (Jimmy Carter). Forget global warming.

Israelis see Obama as the biggest threat to their existence.  

The results of this poll prove American Jews are living in a make-believe world of rainbows and unicorns. It has to be global warming.

The Amtrak crash proves anyone not admitting government is a failure is a complete, blithering idiot. Amtrak has lost more than $40 billion, and its results are still getting worse. So Democrats demand more government spending on Amtrak. Only a zombie or lobotomy victim would decide more spending will solve the problem after 40 years of failure, incompetence and waste of taxpayer money.

It must be the global warming because anyone who wants to waste more money on Amtrak also believes in the tooth fairy and the Loch Ness monster.

Something has created brain-dead zombies that ignore the obvious connection between Obama’s all-time record levels of spending, debt, taxes and regulations — and the fact that for the first time in the history of America, more businesses fail each day than open each day. Then those same zombies conclude: “I have the answer. Let’s add even more regulations.”

It must be global warming hollowing out their heads like a pumpkin on Halloween. Come to think of it, Democrats do have that same kind of smile as a jack-o-lantern.

Democrats don’t seem to notice the fact that Obama spent a billion dollars of your money to build and fix the defective Obamacare websites — money given to foreign companies, one of them run by Michelle Obama’s Princeton Black Alumni Association college classmate. That scandal alone should have led to Obama’s impeachment. But Democrats were too busy watching “Dancing with the Stars.”

Democrats don’t seem to notice health insurance premiums and co-pays have doubled and tripled for middle-class Americans (the group paying the bill) or that inflation is back, caused by massive jumps in healthcare spending.

No one seems to care, and the media don’t see a story.

They are living in the dark and silence at the same time.

Paul Krugman of The New York Times just wrote about the lies and fraud committed by George W. Bush over the Iraq war. Yet he doesn’t notice Obama committed massive fraud when he sold Obamacare by saying, “If you like your insurance, you can keep it,” and, “If you like your doctor, you can keep him,” and, “Obamacare will lower prices,” and, “Obamacare will lower the deficit.” Krugman never saw any of that.

It has to be global warming. It turns even Nobel Prize winners into idiots foaming at the mouth.
Liberals like Krugman hate bullying. It’s their cause célèbre. But they didn’t notice that Obama used the IRS in a widespread criminal conspiracy to target, intimidate, bankrupt and bully his critics, while trying to silencing free speech. Obama makes Richard Nixon look like Mother Teresa. Obama is the “mother of all bullies.”

Finally, liberals like Krugman don’t notice that progressive policies have turned Cuba into the country that time forgot, forever frozen in 1950. Those same progressive policies have led to food and toilet paper shortages in Venezuela. Those same progressive policies have left hospitals in Greece without painkillers or gauze.

Liberals don’t notice that big government, big spending, big taxes, big regulations, big unions and free healthcare cripple every nation and bankrupt every economy they touch.

Those are the same progressive policies that Obama has used to damage the U.S. economy beyond repair. We are in slow-motion disaster headed toward the end of America. The people who support and defend Obama and Hillary are clearly brain dead.

It must be super-charged rays of sun burning holes in their minds. Global warming must be shrinking brains to pea-size. It’s clear now: Democrats are being lobotomized.

Global warming must be real.

Either that or Democrats are so dumb and blind they shouldn’t be let out of the house without diapers and a security guard.

I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. See you next week. God bless America and save us from the brain-dead zombies in the Democratic Party.

FOX NEWS ENDORSES SHARIA AT PHOENIX DRAW MOE CONTEST

From here:

American-Islamic group responds to protest outside mosque

Posted: May 28, 2015 6:59 PM EDTUpdated: May 30, 2015 12:41 AM EDT
PHOENIX -A protest and counter-protest took place outside of the Islamic Community Center in Phoenix.

Organizers of the protest dubbed it a freedom of speech event, which included a Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest. Several of the protesters in attendance wore anti-Islam clothing and were seen exercising their second amendment rights.

Numerous Phoenix Police officers stood in a line between the protesters and a group of counter-protesters who arrived as the event began.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations has a response to the protest. "Teaching people hate, and teaching people ways to kill people and throw pig blood or whatever it is these days, it's just really sad to see that," said Yasir Shareef, with CAIR. 

Local Islamic leaders are urging valley Muslims not to go to the event. 

Ahead of the rally, city of Phoenix workers installed surveillance video camera on light poles outside of the mosque.


Phoenix police and the FBI gathered intelligence and monitored social media, but they say they were more concerned about people who are staying under the radar than they are about organizers and worshippers.

This is the same mosque that Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi attended. They were shot and killed during their attack at a Prophet Muhammed cartoon drawing contest.

Friday's rally is in response to that terrorist incident in Texas, but it's not just worshippers who are on edge. Neighbors are also nervous about what may happen.
   
"I mean it's pretty scary because it's putting my kids in danger. It's just a religion. Everybody is allowed to practice whatever religion they like. I'm just guessing I'm going to take off with my kids during the time they come," said Adriana Viguiero, a neighbor.

Friday is Jummah, the Muslim day of communal prayer. 

   
This is mosque also is one of two in the valley that have received threatening letters in the mail. The FBI is still investigating.

2012 Defense Intelligence Agency document: West will facilitate rise of Islamic State, sees terror group as a “U.S. strategic asset”


isis cage



From here:

This makes my blood run cold.

It ought to make the hair on the back of every American’s neck stand up.

When I wrote as early as 2011 that it was al Qaeda and their proxies that Obama was aiding and abetting in Libya and Syria, it did not occur to me that he considered those bloody savages a ‘strategic asset’ — an ally.

On what planet would the United States of America share an espirit de corp with these monsters?

dia-2012-syria-islamic-state2
According to Judicial Watch: ”The document shows that as early as 2012, U.S. intelligence predicted the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS), but instead of clearly delineating the group as an enemy, the report envisions the terror group as a U.S. strategic asset.”

This is catastrophic consequence of a foreign (and domestic) policy void of acknowledging and/or understanding the jihad threat. The denial of jihad religious and ideological motivation behind this terrible holy war on the West and secular or ‘heretical’ Muslims, has allowed to metastasize at breaking speed.

Look at what Obama and his party of treason has unleashed on the world.

2012 Defense Intelligence Agency document: West will facilitate rise of Islamic State “in order to isolate the Syrian regime” The Levant report, By Brad Hoff, May 19, 2015

On Monday, May 18, the conservative government watchdog group Judicial Watch published a selection of formerly classified documents obtained from the U.S. Department of Defense and State Department through a federal lawsuit.

While initial mainstream media reporting is focused on the White House’s handling of the Benghazi consulate attack, a much “bigger picture” admission and confirmation is contained in one of the Defense Intelligence Agency documents circulated in 2012: that an ‘Islamic State’ is desired in Eastern Syria to effect the West’s policies in the region.

Astoundingly, the newly declassified report states that for “THE WEST, GULF COUNTRIES, AND TURKEY [WHO] SUPPORT THE [SYRIAN] OPPOSITION… THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING A DECLARED OR UNDECLARED SALAFIST PRINCIPALITY IN EASTERN SYRIA (HASAKA AND DER ZOR), AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE SUPPORTING POWERS TO THE OPPOSITION WANT, IN ORDER TO ISOLATE THE SYRIAN REGIME…”.

The DIA report, formerly classified “SECRET//NOFORN” and dated August 12, 2012, was circulated widely among various government agencies, including CENTCOM, the CIA, FBI, DHS, NGA, State Dept., and many others.

The document shows that as early as 2012, U.S. intelligence predicted the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS), but instead of clearly delineating the group as an enemy, the report envisions the terror group as a U.S. strategic asset.

While a number of analysts and journalists have documented long ago the role of western intelligence agencies in the formation and training of the armed opposition in Syria, this is the highest level internal U.S. intelligence confirmation of the theory that western governments fundamentally see ISIS as their own tool for regime change in Syria. The document matter-of-factly states just that scenario.

Forensic evidence, video evidence, as well as recent admissions of high-level officials involved (see former Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford’s admissions here and here), have since proven the State Department and CIA’s material support of ISIS terrorists on the Syrian battlefield going back to at least 2012 and 2013 (for a clear example of “forensic evidence”: see UK-based Conflict Armament Research’s report which traced the origins of Croatian anti-tank rockets recovered from ISIS fighters back to a Saudi/CIA joint program via identifiable serial numbers).

The newly released DIA report makes the following summary points concerning “ISI” (in 2012 “Islamic State in Iraq,”) and the soon to emerge ISIS:
  • Al-Qaeda drives the opposition in Syria
  • The West identifies with the opposition
  • The establishment of a nascent Islamic State became a reality only with the rise of the Syrian insurgency (there is no mention of U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq as a catalyst for Islamic State’s rise, which is the contention of innumerable politicians and pundits; see section 4.D. below)
  • The establishment of a “Salafist Principality” in Eastern Syria is “exactly” what the external powers  supporting the opposition want (identified as “the West, Gulf Countries, and Turkey”) in order to weaken the Assad government
  • “Safe havens” are suggested in areas conquered by Islamic insurgents along the lines of the Libyan model (which translates to so-called no-fly zones as a first act of ‘humanitarian war'; see 7.B.)
  • Iraq is identified with “Shia expansion” (8.C)
  • A Sunni “Islamic State” could be devastating to “unifying Iraq” and could lead to “the renewing facilitation of terrorist elements from all over the Arab world entering into Iraqi Arena.” (see last non-redacted line in full PDF view.)

Islamic Supremacism: The True Source of Muslim ‘Grievances’

From here:


Read more at http://www.breakingisraelnews.com/40147/islamic-supremacism-the-true-source-of-muslim-grievances-opinion/#kymdbarw1wiXDAYB.99

In the ongoing debate (or debacle) concerning free speech/expression and Muslim grievance—most recently on exhibition in Garland, where two “jihadis” opened fire on a “Prophet Muhammad” art contest organized by Pamela Geller—one thing has become clear: the things non-Muslims can do to provoke Islamic violence is limitless—and far exceeds cartoons.

Writes Victor Davis Hanson for example:
[Pamela] Geller, and not the jihadists who sought to kill those with whom they disagreed, was supposedly at fault. Her critics could not figure out that radical Muslims object not just to caricatures and cartoons, but to any iconographic representation of Mohammed. Had Geller offered invitations to artists to compete for the most majestic statue of the Prophet, jihadists might still have tried to use violence to stop it. Had she held a beauty pageant for gay Muslims or a public wedding for gay Muslim couples, jihadists would certainly have shown up.  Had she offered a contest for the bravest Islamic apostates, jihadists would have galvanized to kill the non-believers. Had she organized a support rally for Israel, jihadists might well have tried to kill the innocent, as they did in Paris when they murderously attacked a kosher market.
But it’s even worse than that.  The list of things that non-Muslims can do to provoke Islamic violence grows by the day and accords with the list of things subjugated “infidels” must never do, lest they provoke their Islamic overlords as laid out by Islamic law, or Sharia.

As such, the West needs finally to come to terms with the root source of these ubiquitous, easily sparked “Muslim grievances.”

Enter Muslim supremacism.

Islamic doctrine—which teaches that Muslims are superior to non-Muslims,  who are further compared to dogs and cattle—imbues Muslims with this sense of supremacism over the rest of mankind.  And a good portion of Islamic history—when Muslims were for centuries on the warpath, subjugating large swathes of the Old Word—further enforced it.

This sense of Islamic supremacism was dramatically humbled after European powers defeated and colonized much of the Muslim world.  Bred on the notion that “might makes right,” Muslims, for a time, even began emulating the unapologetic and triumphant West.  Turkey, for example, went from being the epitome of Islamic supremacy and jihad against Christian Europe for five centuries to desperately emulating Europe in all ways.  

By the mid-1900s, Turkey became perhaps the most Westernized/secularized “Muslim” nation.

Today, however, as Western peoples willingly capitulate to Islamic mores—in the name of tolerance, multiculturalism, political correctness, or just plain cowardice—Muslims are becoming more emboldened, making more demands and threats, as they realize they need not militarily defeat the West in order to resuscitate their supremacist birthright.  (More appeasement from the bullied always brings about more demands from the bully.)

To understand all this, one need only look to Muslim behavior where it is dominant and not in need of pretense, that is, in the Muslim world.  There, non-Muslim minorities are habitually treated as inferiors.  But unlike the many Western appeasers who willingly accept a subservient role to Islam, these religious minorities have no choice in the matter.

Thus in Pakistan, as Christian children were singing carols inside their church, Muslim men from a nearby mosque barged in with an axe, destroyed the furniture and altar, and beat the children.  Their justification for such violence?  “You are disturbing our prayers…. How dare you use the mike and speakers?”

And when a Muslim slapped a Christian and the latter reciprocated, the Muslim exclaimed “How dare a Christian slap me?!” Anti-Christian violence immediately ensued.

All of this revolves around what I call the “How Dare You?!” phenomenon.  Remember it next time “progressive” media, politicians, and other talking heads tell you that Muslim mayhem and outbursts are products of grievances against the West. Missing from their rationale is the supremacist base of these grievances.

The Conditions of Omar, a foundational medieval Muslim text dealing with how subjugated “infidels” must behave, spells out their inferiority vis-à-vis Muslims.  Among other stipulations, it commands conquered Christians not to raise their “voices during prayer or readings in churches anywhere near Muslims” (hence the axe-attack in Pakistan).  It also commands them not to display any signs of Christianity—specifically Bibles and crosses—not to build churches, and not to criticize the prophet.  (See Crucified Again:Exposing Islam’s New War on Christians for my translation of “The Conditions of Omar.”)

If the supremacist nature of Islamic law is still not clear enough, the Conditions literally commands Christians to give up their seats to Muslims as a show of respect.

By way of analogy, consider when Rosa Parks, a black woman, refused to give up her bus seat to white passengers.  Any white supremacist at the time had sincere grievances: how dare she think herself equal?
But were such grievances legitimate? Should they have been accommodated?  Are the endless “grievances” of Muslims legitimate and should they be accommodated?  These are the questions missing from the debate about easily bruised Muslim sensitivities.

One can go on and on with examples from all around the Islamic world:

In Turkey, a Bible publishing house was once stormed and three of its Christian employees tortured, disemboweled, and finally murdered.  One suspect later said: “We didn’t do this for ourselves, but for our religion [Islam]…. Our religion is being destroyed.”

In Egypt, after a 17-year-old Christian student refused to obey his Muslim teacher’s orders to cover up his cross, the teacher and some Muslim students attacked, beat, and ultimately murdered the teenager.

These Turkish and Egyptian Muslims were truly aggrieved: Islamic law makes clear that Christians must not “produce a cross or Bible” around Muslims. How dare the Egyptian student and Turkish Bible publishers refuse to comply—thus grieving their Muslim murderers?

In Indonesia, where it is becoming next to impossible for Christians to build churches, Christians often congregate outside to celebrate Christmas—only to be attacked by Muslims hurling cow dung and bags of urine at the Christians as they pray.

These Muslims are also sincerely aggrieved: how dare these Christians think they can be a church when the Conditions forbid it?

In short, anytime non-Muslims dare to overstep their Sharia-designated “inferior” status—which far exceeds drawing cartoons—supremacist Muslims will become violently aggrieved.

From here, one can begin to understand the ultimate Muslim grievance: Israel.

For if “infidel” Christian minorities are deemed inferior and attacked by aggrieved Muslims for exercising their basic human rights, like freedom of worship, how must Muslims feel about Jews—the descendants of pigs and apes, according to the Koran—exercising power and authority over fellow Muslims in what is perceived to be Muslim land?

How dare they?!

Of course, if grievances against Israel were really about justice and displaced Palestinians, Muslims—and their Western appeasers—would be aggrieved by the fact that millions of Christians are currently being displaced by Muslim invaders.

Needless to say, they are not.

So the next time you hear that Muslim rage and terrorism are products of grievance—from cartoons to territorial disputes and everything in between—remember that this is absolutely true.  But these “grievances” are not predicated on any human standards of equality or justice, only a supremacist worldview.

The Qur’an clearly and specifically tells muslims the Bible is wrong and also that all Christians and Jews are infidel criminals who worship a false god, and who must therefore be extorted, enslaved, and murdered for their “crime” of not being muslims:

Sura (Chapter) 47:1-4 of the Qur'an:

1: non-muslims are bad, because they insult allah by dividing his nature;
2: muslims are good, because to them allah is the cause of everything;
3: Allah made them both like that;
4: So muslims should chop off the non-muslims' heads.
(Allah could have done it himself, but he wants you muslims to do it for him)."

...

It's all right there, in context: islamic violence is entirely general doctrine-driven, and not at all specific grievance-driven.

(And chapter 47 isn't by any stretch even remotely the worst, most violent chapter; that honor goes to either chapter 8 or 9).

...

So, if and when you consider islam to be a religion, you must agree with it’s main tenet: that God is a violent murderer who wants his muslim tribe to violently conquer the world by extorting, enslaving, and murdering all the non-muslim humans, right?

At WORST, all REAL religions only say:

"Obey our silly rules, or GOD (/'the gods') will get you!"

...but ONLY islam says:

"Obey our silly rules, or WE will get you ('for god')!"

A forced 'Faith!' ISN'T a "Faith!" at all - it's only extortion, and extortion is always a CRIME.

Bottom line: If you decide to believe in "allah," you have declared yourself a criminal, and so must be arrested, indicted, tried and convicted. Your confession of "faith" in your crime-god will help us to do so.

Bin Laden's Bookshelf: In the Shadow of Anders Breivik

Bin Laden's Bookshelf: In the Shadow of Anders Breivik


On July 22, 2011, the Norwegian Anders Behring Breivik killed seventy-seven people in and near Oslo. Not long before he attacked, he emailed a 1,500-page document titled "2083: A European Declaration of Independence," which included conservative critics of radical Islam among his sources. Immediately, some in the media, academic, and think tank worlds declared these persons guilty by association and charged them with shaping Breivik's thought, even though the manifesto cited about the same number of liberals and conservatives.

Yesterday we were given a look inside the mind of another mass killer when the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released Bin Ladin's Bookshelf, a "sizable tranche of documents recovered during the raid on the compound used to hide Usama bin Ladin." The 409 items range from publicly available U.S. government documents to personal letters from bin Laden to family and fellow terrorists.

They also include a fawning January 2005 Washingtonian magazine profile of Georgetown University Wahhabi apologist John Esposito (he doubts bin Laden read it), who has made a lucrative career of blaming the West for the Middle East's troubles. Two volumes by the radical anti-American, anti-Israel MIT linguist Noam Chomsky make the list: Necessary Illusions: Thought Control in Democratic Societies, and Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance, which argues that America's natural trajectory is world domination by force.

Seasoned America-hater William Blum also scored with two volumes: Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower, and Killing Hope: U.S. Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II. Upon learning in 2006 that bin Laden had mentioned him in an audio tape, Blum said, "If he shares with me a deep dislike for certain aspects of U.S. foreign policy, then I'm not going to spurn any endorsement of the book by him. I think it's good that he shares those views."

Whereas the pundits and journalists who heaped scorn on the anti-Islamist writers Breivik cited could do so only by willfully distorting their views and equating reasoned criticism with hate-mongering and bigotry, the radical authors whose books lined bin Laden's shelves lent genuine support to his views, if not his actions. They shared with him an incorrigible antipathy towards America and the West even as their elite reputations lent a veneer of legitimacy to their hate-filled rhetoric. That the man behind the deaths of so many innocents could turn to them for intellectual support should permanently discredit their ideas and their work.

Hundreds caught up in UK sex abuse investigation

From Ottawa Citizen Thursday May 21, 2015, P.# C3.

BRITAIN

Hundreds caught up in sex abuse investigation

Some 261 celebrities and politicians, including sports, TV and music stars, are being investigated for alleged child sex abuse, British police have revealed.

They are among more than 1,400 men suspected by police of being sex predators, as the Home Secretary warned it is only the "tip of the iceberg." The rogues gallery includes 135 TV, film and radio stars, 43 musicians and seven sports figures as well as 76 politicians, the officer in charge of the issue has disclosed. Hundreds of schools, religious institutions, children's homes and sports clubs are also implicated.

Chief Const. Simon Bailey said reports of child sex abuse were increasing on a daily basis and he expected police to receive approximately 116,000 allegations before the end of this year.

OBAMA COULD CHARGE CLIMATE-CHANGE DENIERS WITH TREASON

From Ottawa Citizen Thursday May 21, 2015, P.# C3.


Climate change denial a security risk: Obama

AMERICAN CLIMATE-CHANGE DENIERS COULD BE CHARGED WITH TREASON UNDER OBAMA REGIME

   u.s. President Barack Obama said Wednesday the threat posed by climate change is evident
all around and that those who deny the "indisputable" science that it is real are putting at
risk the security of the United States and the military sworn to defend it.

   Obama said refusing to act to slow the effects of global warming, including rising seas,
amounts to a "dereliction of duty" and undermines the readiness of U.S. forces, including
of the 218 graduates of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in Connecticut, where he delivered the
commencement address.

"I'm here today to say that climate change constitutes a serious threat to global security,
an immediate threat to our national security," Obama said.
