And The Flames Went Higher
Why is all of this covered up? Or at least barely covered? The answer is simple. The Left knows that if the truth is told, then everyone will vote Right. So the Left, which controls the media, is attempting to force a state of denial on us all, in order to hold onto power. They do it in Europe with regard to the mounting crises displayed in this series, and they do it here with regard to the War. This is of course demented, because it is clearly suicidal. But power is like that. Its pursuit can become obsessive.
And obsessions are blinding, their indulgence coming at the cost of everything else.

Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

Great piece, informative and worth remembering in the future, as this menace is with us for the long haul until some sort of decisive event can defeat them or the west. Most liberal people in the west are endeavoring to enjoy consumerism with hedonism, while Islamofascism rejects consumerism and modernity and focuses only on the spreading of Islamofascism.

April 15th, 2007 at 3:48 amVery thoughtful and relevent piece of journalism, from CBN which, unless I am mistaken, is the Christian Broadcasting Network. Just how many people who should be hearing this piece actually watch CBN? More to the point, why isn’t the mainstream media reporting it?!!
Journalism is not dead, but it is clearly fractured, with only the blogosphere and “fringe” (e.g., CBN) outlets practicing it. Divide and conquer. Our enemies have mastered this tactic while most of us earn Ph.D.s in Anna-Nicole, Brangelina and the global warming bogeyman!
April 15th, 2007 at 6:14 amconsider that Al Gore’s environmental alarmism has taken center stage and these concerns in europe and elsewhere go unreported. It begs the question are leftists so consumed with their hatred for the right that they will sacrifice their opposition to church and state unity in order to promote “tolerance” to the point that they will tolerate the most intolerant people on the face of the planet. These assholes who make threats in public protests and are kiling and raping at will, need to be fought by the population outright. This means going to the mosques and stating unequivically that we will not tolerate lawlessness from anyone and that you cries of racism will fall on deaf ears.
particularly, if muslim moderates will not join in this fight out of fear then they should be treated as the radicals will be. banning burqas will not solve the problems nor will hate crime legislation, but good old fashioned street justic , mafia style. fight fire with fire
April 15th, 2007 at 6:42 amVery sad future for western civilization! We have a portion of our population who are unaware of the threat of Islamism, another portion who refuse to see it for what it is, those who think it’s our fault and the few of us who see it for what it will being to the world. The rewards of radical islam is misery, destruction and death and that’s for those who embrace it!!!

The Communist Takeover Of America - 45 Declared Goals
From Greg Swank
12-4-2
You are about to read a list of 45 goals that found their way down the halls of our great Capitol back in 1963. As you read this, 39 years later, you should be shocked by the events that have played themselves out. I first ran across this list 3 years ago but was unable to attain a copy and it has bothered me ever since. Recently, Jeff Rense posted it on his site and I would like to thank him for doing so. http://www.rense.com
Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record–Appendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963
Current Communist Goals EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Thursday, January 10,1963.
Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of
alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following “Current Communist Goals,” which she identifies as an excerpt from “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen:
[From “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen]
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths. (Pledge of Allegiance, anyone??)
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States. (Democrats, and some RINOs)
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.” (Piss Christ, anyone??)
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press. (Unless it’s the word “G-d”)
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI. (and CIA, I might add …)
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat]. (See anyone who is a celebrity and pops off with a racial slur who checks into “rehab” …)
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [”]united force[”] to solve economic, political or social problems. (See: “Dissent is patriotic” … “I support the troops, but not the war”)
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government. (See: Iran, Syria, and American democrats re: Iraq)
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal. (Thank you Jimmuh Carter)
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike. (The leftist jusges in our Supreme Courts already site laws from other countries when making decisions)
Note by Webmaster: The Congressional Record back this far has not be digitized and posted on the Internet. It will probably be available at your nearest library that is a federal repository. Call them and ask them. Your college library is probably a repository. This is an excellent source of government records. Another source are your Congress Critters. They should be more than happy to help you in this matter. You will find the Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto interesting at this point.

1963- The Year That Changed America
By Greg Swank
April 15th, 2007 at 10:22 amNote to self: Buy more guns and ammo.
April 15th, 2007 at 10:32 amDon’t know what to say.
My wife thinks I am crazy. My sons understand the threat. I have an emergency evac kit in the works, but will be revamping it. Initially designed for escape form nuclear fallout. I’ve begun on preparation for close range protection (45 pistol) - mostly to protect us while seeking safer ground. What I relly mean is to protect us form the local assholes that aren’t prepared. But it looks like I need more than that. I’m not so sure the threat is going to be attacks on grand scale. In all probability, the radicals might just change everything by hijacking the democrats. Wasn’t planning on that!
Any suggestions?
April 15th, 2007 at 1:02 pmIs there any backbone left in our freakin government? Is there anyone with in it that will stand up against the pussification of America? To stand up against an enemy that is within?
Am I too fucked in the head that I’m not fit or sane?
Loosing hope!
I’ve considered going door to door to get conservatives to come out, but I’d probably get put in jail - right?
Will I wait until it gets that bad to take action?
April 15th, 2007 at 1:12 pmHey, John,
No one listened to Noah about the flood either …

Loosing hope!… Just do all you can to be prepared.
No
Yes
April 15th, 2007 at 1:56 pmThere is talk about officialy inviting a Palestinian leader as a guest at some festive activities here on the day we normally celebrate the end of the German occupation. (Being the 5th of May every year.)
It’s already bad enough that this day has changed for the last 15 years from celebrating regainded freedom from the Nazi occupiers into a left-winged brainwash on human-right-issues (”John Waynes occupating the poor Iraques and Afghans”) and “don’t hate, love your wive-beating Islamic neighbour. Respect, tolerate!”.
(In other words; just swallow it, we are to scarded stiff to do anything about it and the only thing important to us is the fat pay-check we can pick up at the end of the month. All we want is our 5-minutes-of-fame and what happens to the Dutch people doesn’t bother us as long as we can stay in parliament so our pension-fund will grow big enough, giving us the chance to flee to another country when things are getting to rough for us over here.)
What really pisses me of is the fact that this “guest” is known for his part in terrorist-activities, being linked to other terrorist-groups as well.
He is a hero to the youngsters I described who don’t have any respect for our rememberance of those who died for “Our” liberation from the Nazis back in ‘45 by using the flowers placed at war-monuments as soccer-balls.
The only politician who had the guts to question this mather got only bad publicity.
It’s a bloody outrage, an insult, it feels like being raped. But “We” can only be angry in a silent way, afraid of being called a racist and punished with a ‘cordon sanitaire’ in “Our” public and social life.
In spite of my bad health I will try my best to attend the ceremony on May 4th at the barracks, where we commemorate those who gave their lives in order to free The Netherlands from German occupation. If only to hear the soothing sound of an antique Lancaster at low height doing a “fly by” exactly at 20.00 when almost the whole nation is silent for 2 minutes. (Long time ago it would be the WHOLE nation, “but that was yesterday”.)
It makes me wonder, will this fly-by, this ceremony be one of the last I’m able to witness when even a simple wooden white christian cross at the place were inoccent people were executed in ‘44 already “offends” the Muslims?
April 15th, 2007 at 2:09 pmI read a op-ed a couple of months back by Col.Ralph Peters,who said don’t sell Europe short on Islam.He
April 15th, 2007 at 6:22 pmsaid there will come a time when they have had enough
and ethnic cleansing will begin,wholesale and bloody.
What they don’t kill will be deported.I find this some
what hard to belive but you never know what will happen
if the worm turns…Its been said the way the radical
Islamics have been carring on has been membership bost
for the KKK…
READ THIS HERE SHIT NOW.
The Post-west
A civilization that has become just a dream.
by Victor Davis Hanson
April 13, 2007 National Review Online
I recently had a dream that British marines fought back, like their forefathers of old, against criminals and pirates. When taken captive, they proved defiant in their silence. When released, they talked to the tabloids with restraint and dignity, and accepted no recompense.
I dreamed that a kindred German government, which best knew the wages of appeasement, cut-off all trade credits to the outlaw Iranian mullahs — even as the European Union joined the Americans in refusing commerce with this Holocaust-denying, anti-Semitic, and thuggish regime.
NATO countries would then warn Iran that their next unprovoked attack on a vessel of a member nation would incite the entire alliance against them in a response that truly would be of a “disproportionate” nature.
In this apparition of mine, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, in Syria at the time, would lecture the Assad regime that there would be consequences to its serial murdering of democratic reformers in Lebanon, to fomenting war with Israel by means of its surrogates, and to sending terrorists to destroy the nascent constitutional government in Iraq.
She would add that the United States could never be friends with an illegitimate dictatorship that does its best to destroy the only three democracies in the region. And then our speaker would explain to Iran that a U.S. Congresswoman would never detour to Tehran to dialogue with a renegade government that had utterly ignored U.N. non-proliferation mandates and daily had the blood of Americans on its hands.
Fellow Democrats like John Kerry, Barbara Boxer, and Harry Reid would add that, as defenders of the liberal tradition of the West, they were not about to call a retreat before extremist killers who behead and kidnap, who blow up children and threaten female reformers and religious minorities, and who have begun using poison gas, all in an effort to annihilate voices of tolerance in Iraq.
These Democrats would reiterate that they had not authorized a war to remove the psychopathic Saddam Hussein only to allow the hopeful country to be hijacked by equally vicious killers. And they would warn the world that their differences with the Bush administration, whatever they might be, pale in comparison to the shared American opposition to the efforts of al Qaeda, the Taliban, Syria, and Iran to kill any who would advocate freedom of the individual.
Those in Congress would not deny that Congress itself had voted for a war against Saddam on 23 counts — the vast majority of which had nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction and remain as valid today as when they were approved in 2002.
Congressional Democrats would make clear that, while in the interests of peace they might wish to talk to Iran, they had no idea how to approach a regime that subsidizes Holocaust denial, threatens to wipe out Israel, defies the world in seeking nuclear weapons, trains terrorists to kill Americans in Iraq, engages in piracy and hostage taking, and butchers or incarcerates any of its own who question the regime.
In this dream, I heard our ex-presidents add to this chorus of war-time solidarity. Jimmy Carter reminded Americans that radical Islam had started in earnest on his watch, out of an endemic hatred of all things Western. I imagined him explaining that America began being called the “Great Satan” during the presidential tenure of a liberal pacifist, not a Texan conservative.
Bill Clinton would likewise add that he bombed Iraq, and Afghanistan, and East Africa without congressional or U.N. approval because of the need for unilateral action against serial terrorism and the efforts of radicals to obtain weapons of mass destruction.
George Bush Sr. would in turn lecture the media that it was once as furious at him for not removing Saddam as it is now furious at his son for doing so; that it was once as critical of him for sending too many troops to the Middle East as it is now critical of his son for sending too few; that it was once as hostile to the dictates of his excessively large coalition as it is now disparaging of his son’s intolerably small alliance; that it was once as dismissive of his old concern about Iranian influence in Iraq as it is now aghast at his son’s naiveté about Tehran’s interest in absorbing southern Iraq; and that it was once as repulsed by his own cynical realism as it is now repulsed by his son’s blinkered idealism.
I also dreamed that the British government only laughed at calls to curtail studies of the Holocaust in deference to radical Muslims, and instead repeatedly aired a documentary on its sole Victoria Cross winner in Iraq. The British, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, and Spanish foreign ministers would collectively warn the radical Islamic world that there would be no more concessions to the pre-rational primeval mind, no more backpeddling and equivocating on rioting and threats over cartoons or operas or papal statements. There would be no more apologies about how the West need make amends for a hallowed tradition that started 2,500 years ago with classical Athens, led to the Italian Republics of the Renaissance, and inspired the liberal democracies that defeated fascism, Japanese militarism, Nazism, and Communist totalitarianism, and now are likewise poised to end radical Islamic fascism.
Europeans would advise their own Muslim immigrants, from London to Berlin, that the West, founded on principles of the Hellenic and European Enlightenments, and enriched by the Sermon on the Mount, had nothing to apologize for, now or in the future. Newcomers would either accept this revered culture of tolerance, assimilation, and equality of religions and the sexes — or return home to live under its antithesis of seventh-century Sharia law.
Media critics of the ongoing war might deplore our tactics, take issue with the strategy, and lament the failure to articulate our goals and values. But they would not stoop to the lies of “no blood for oil” — not when Iraqi petroleum is now at last under transparent auspices and bid on by non-American companies, even as the price skyrockets and American ships protect the vulnerable sea-lanes, ensuring life-saving commerce for all importing nations.
I also dreamed that no columnist, no talking head, no pundit would level the charge of “We took our eye off bin Laden in Afghanistan” when they themselves had no answer on how to reach al Qaedists inside nuclear Pakistan, a country ruled by a triangulating dictator and just one bullet away from an Islamic theocracy.
…
And then I woke up, remembering that the West of old lives only in dreams. Yes, the new religion of the post-Westerner is neither the Enlightenment nor Christianity, but the gospel of the Path of Least Resistance — one that must lead inevitably to gratification rather than sacrifice.
Once one understands this new creed, then all the surreal present at last makes sense: life in the contemporary West is so good, so free, so undemanding, that we will pay, say, and suffer almost anything to enjoy its uninterrupted continuance — and accordingly avoid almost any principled act that might endanger it.
©2007 Victor Davis Hanson
–former SecDef adds: I’ve read a lot of Hanson in the past years, but this VDH at his finest. Let’s have that last paragraph again:
“Once one understands this new creed, then all the surreal present at last makes sense: life in the contemporary West is so good, so free, so undemanding, that we will pay, say, and suffer almost anything to enjoy its uninterrupted continuance — and accordingly avoid almost any principled act that might endanger it.”

Just saw this:
“British Goverment Drops ‘War on Terror’ Phrase.”
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,266309,00.html
Talking point rationale quoted:
“[The phrase] strengthens terrorists by making them feel part of a bigger struggle.”
TRUE talking point exposed:
Essentially, the leftists want to be able to argue:
Terrorism is not an organized enemy with a clear identity and a coherent set of objectives.
I don’t know how terrorism does not fit that, but this is their future talking point. The only thing that makes terrorism different form enemies of the past is that it can operate without explicit ties to a soverign nation.
So, all one has to do is attack without having a defined nation backing you and you are not worthy of military action - you become a police action instead. I mean:
1- the crime has to be on the books
2- one must commit the crime ( i.e create victims to take the blame for you)
3- one must get caught
4- there must exist mountains of evidence
5- one must be granted rights
6- one’s victims must pay for the costs to house one and convict one
7- one’s victims must be tried also te ensure that the victim did not ask for the offsense to be comitted.
8- yada yada yada
Not to down play it, but this is like the studies we tax payers often fund. i.e. Study to conclude something we already freaking know 95% of the time.
Net result:
April 16th, 2007 at 7:10 am1- We as a world go back to “charge AFTER attack and then go to court with the ACLU & UN.”
2- Terror succeeds in its objective and gets off the hook using our own “protection” system.
