Saddam Hussein
There are 100s of horrible dictators and leaders around the globe yet you do not see Bush and his global democratic revolution advocates yearning to go into the heart of Africa or Central Asia to free those people. The Iraq war was the beginning of the resource wars. America needs the oil that Iraq sits on and since Saddam wouldn't give in to America, he had to be taken out. There won't be a democracy in Iraq. Another strongman dictator will get his chance to rule Iraq and this time he will probably be a Shi'ite. What most people do not understand is that you cannot free a people unless they want to be free. The people that depend on another nation to free them will wind up being dependent on the nation that freed them.
How do we know that the guy that was executed is the real Saddam? This is one of the questions the corporate media will never ask and they are hoping that the American public never asks that question.

Someone Else Doesn't Like Obama
Indiana's junior senator, Democrat Evan Bayh, recently visited New Hampshire to weigh his prospects for a 2008 presidential run. He was flattened by crowds running to see Obama, and dropped out.
What was Obama saying that other centrists would not have? Absolutely nothing.
Obama talked about ending the nastiness in Washington and taking personal responsibility, and that government can't solve all problems -- platitudes emptied of all controversy. If anything, his colleagues from Indiana would surely have offered more exciting commentary.
Obama's appeal comes not from the things he says, but from who is saying them. He scores as an exotic who talks of barbershops and church socials in the flat tones you'd expect from any son of the prairie.
Had Bayh been half-Kenyan and raised in Hawaii by white grandparents from Kansas, he too would have become a political star, at least for the month of December. But he is a conventional white man. When Bayh speaks in the quiet Midwestern way, he gets tarred as lackluster.
Obama is a DLC Democrat disguised as a liberal populist. Hopefully Democrat voters will see through this facade and vote for someone else in the 2008 primaries.

O-Bomb-a
Like most congressional Democrats, he bowed before the Israeli war machine and praised the IDF's brazen aggression in Lebanon, going so far as to visit northern Israel during the war in a show of support. He opposed a cease-fire – "I don't fault Israel for wanting to rid their border with Lebanon from those Katyusha missiles that can fire in and harm Israeli citizens, so I think that any cease-fire would have to be premised on the removal of those missiles" – and absurdly averred:
"I don't think there is any nation that would not have reacted the way Israel did after two soldiers had been snatched. I support Israel's response to take some action in protecting themselves."
According to this logic, the U.S. should have invaded Iran when the Iranians took hostages at our embassy – and, come to think of it, he does endorse an attack on Tehran, as reported by the Chicago Tribune:
"U.S. Senate candidate Barack Obama suggested Friday that the United States one day might have to launch surgical missile strikes into Iran and Pakistan to keep extremists from getting control of nuclear bombs."
He stresses that military action is a "last resort," and that we ought to squeeze them with sanctions first:
"But if those measures fall short, the United States should not rule out military strikes to destroy nuclear production sites in Iran, Obama said.
"'The big question is going to be, if Iran is resistant to these pressures, including economic sanctions, which I hope will be imposed if they do not cooperate, at what point are we going to, if any, are we going to take military action?' Obama asked.
"Given the continuing war in Iraq, the United States is not in a position to invade Iran, but missile strikes might be a viable option, he said. Obama conceded that such strikes might further strain relations between the U.S. and the Arab world. 'On the other hand, having a radical Muslim theocracy in possession of nuclear weapons is worse. So I guess my instinct would be to err on not having those weapons in the possession of the ruling clerics of Iran. … And I hope it doesn't get to that point. But realistically, as I watch how this thing has evolved, I'd be surprised if Iran blinked at this point.'"
The United States, in Obama's reckoning , is the ultimate arbiter of who shall join the nuclear club and who is barred from that exclusive group: he makes no mention, naturally, of Israel's nukes. There's only the demagogic assertion that anything is better than Muslims with nukes. Are there any Muslims who aren't "radical," in his eyes?
Never mind that Iran is pursuing nuclear power while asserting only its right to nuclear weapons (and, at the same time, disdaining any ambitions to actually acquire them). And it doesn't matter, one assumes, that our own CIA has estimated it will be a good 10 years before the Iranians develop such a capacity. All they have to do, in Obama's view, is maintain their right to do so – and we slap them with sanctions. Which, of course, means war…
The pretty-boy face and the accomplished actor's polished technique aside, Barack Obama is just another shill for the War Party. And the sooner antiwar Democrats realize that, the better.
I agree with Raimondo. Obama is just more of the same. He is a creation of the media and when the media sees that he cannot win, they will destroy him just as quickly as they created him.

Blood Diamond
This is the best movie I've seen all year. The performances by Leonardo Dicaprio and Djimon Hounsou are outstanding. Everything in this movie is done well and it should get nominated for a few Oscars. Djimon Hounsou put everything he had into his character and if you see this movie, you will get choked up during his intense emotional dialogue with other characters.
Jennifer Connelly has a small role in this movie and she gives a better than average performance but the surprise of the movie is Dicaprio. Dicaprio is growing as an actor and I wouldn't be surprised if he won an Oscar in the future. Djimon Hounsou should get an Oscar this year for his brilliant performance in Blood Diamond. This movie is violent and very intense so leave the children at home if you decide to see Blood Diamond.

Five Biggest Lies Bush Told Us About Iraq
- Al-Qaida Ties To Iraq
- Iraq's Chemical And Biological Weapons
- Iraq's Nuclear Weapons
- The Iraq War Will Be A Cakewalk
- Iraq As A Democratic Model For The Middle East
These lies have led to 2,929 American military deaths and over 500,000 Iraqis being killed. Bush misled the public and Congress and he deserves to be impeached. I doubt if the newly elected Democratic Party leaders of Congress will have the balls to go after George W. Bush.
The people of America put the Democratic Party back into power because they wanted a change in the way America does business but it looks like the Democratic Party is more concerned about maintaining power than doing what is right.

Let me tell you something people. If you see anyone being treated inhumanely, it is your duty to do something. In George Bush's America, actions like this are encouraged and even applauded by the cretinous Bushites. I bet Michelle Malkin and other Bushites are having multiple orgasms over this video.

Democrats Take Back The House
Nancy Pelosi has already said that she would not seek to impeach Bush if she became Speaker of the House so I'm not as excited as everyone else about the Democratic Party taking control of the House of Representatives. The Democrats are the good cop and the Republicans play the role of bad cop. Nothing will really change. There will only be the illusion of change.
The Dems still back Israel no matter what and so do the Repubs. The Dems do not want to immediately pull out of Iraq and neither do the Repubs. The Dems want amnesty/guest worker program for illegals and so do Bush Republicans. Hell, Bush might be able to get his guest worker program now because the Dems have the majority. Bush is not serious about a war on terrorism and the Dems are not serious about defeating international terrorism.
The only thing I'm going to like about the Dems being in control of the HOR is seeing the neo-con Republican talking heads explode everyday on their talk shows, radio shows, and blogs.

St. Louis Not Only Beat Detroit In The World Series
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - St. Louis may still be celebrating its
World Series baseball victory over Detroit, but on Monday Missouri's "Gateway City" learned it has topped Michigan's Motor City in another category -- violent crime.
St. Louis reclaimed the title of America's most dangerous city, which it last held in 2002, based on crime statistics reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and compiled by publisher Morgan Quitno Press.
Detroit was the second most dangerous city, while Flint, Michigan, and Compton, California, were third and fourth, respectively. Camden, New Jersey, most dangerous in last year's rankings, fell to fifth.
The survey is based on 2005 crime rates per 100,000 population for six basic categories -- murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary and motor vehicle theft. It included 371 cities with populations over 75,000 that report the data to the FBI.

Cub Fans Are Delusional
The team still sucks!
They don't have a leadoff man, #2 hitter, and their pitching staff is horrible. Their farm system is lacking in young talent and I seriously doubt if Lou Piniella can turn things around.
ESPN is reporting that Lou Piniella wants the Cubs to trade for Alex Rodriguez but the Cubs don't have anything to trade. I've been listening to sports radio and Cub fans are calling up and proclaiming that the Cubs will win the World Series next year. These poor bastards are almost as deluded as Bush backers. The NL central is a weak division so anything can happen but I seriously doubt if the Cubs will make it to the World Series by 2008.

Here's Something You Didn't Know
Most Americans don’t know that the U.S. gives $15,139,178 per day to the Israeli government and military and $232,290 per day to Palestinian NGOs; and that the Israeli unemployment rate is 8.9%, while the Palestinian unemployment is estimated at 25-31%.
The sheeple of America are definitely asleep when it comes to the issues that matter. We should not be giving away money to other nations when America is deep in debt.

I Still Don't Trust Democrats
If the Democrats win, they'll probably try to play nice and reach across the political aisle to unify the nation. The truth is that they're not trying to unify the nation, they're trying to con the people into thinking they are above petty politics when the fact is that the Democrats want to consolidate power as much as the Republicans.

Foley Scandal
- Foley should be put in prison with perverts like himself.
- The page program should not be abolished. Don't punish the kids, punish the perverts.
- Republicans are corrupt motherfuckers. A prime example of this was Bill O'Reilly putting a D(Democrat) by Foley's name instead of R(Republican).
- Hastert should resign if he knew about this before the scandal broke.
- Democrats should be trying their best to link Foley to all Republicans because this might be a golden opportunity for them to take the House and/or Senate.

I'll Never Understand Democrats
I know I'm going to catch a tremendous amount of grief over this, but I believe I'm speaking the truth, so I gotta do it, ya know?
Ok...here it is. Based on all the knowledge we have, nothing indicates Foley is a pedophile. Sexual predator? Absolutely. Guilty of inappropriate sexual contact with minors? Quite probably, depending on the legal age of consent statutes of the jurisdictions involved. A fucking hypocritical piece of shit scumbag? Looks like it!
But no, he's not a pedophile. A pedophile is a someone who is "sexually attracted to pre-pubescent or peripubescent" people. Sixteen and seventeen year-olds (which are the only ages we have seen involved so far) are NOT in these categories. This is the accepted mental health definition, and I urge people to stick with it.
This type of shit just boggles my mind. The Republicans would never do this. If a Democrat was involved in a scandal involving teen boys, the Republicans would write article after article or diary after diary burying the Democrat. They would not become hung up on whether he's a textbook pedophile or sexual offender.
I scrolled down and found a poster who pretty much agrees with me on this:
and people like this diarist still "just don't get it". Phrases win and lose elections. Democrats aren't for "cutting and running" either, yet the phrase sells. SO maybe Foley is or isn't technically at this moment a certifies pedophile. He may be, he is a pervert, a predator which is close enough. Pedophile sells, pedophile will win you elections, it more accurately defines the man in peoples minds than other phrases.
Man sometimes I really don't understand you people, you really don't understand this sport of politics at all do you?
mr republican, is that a flag in your pocket or are you just glad to see my son?
What's funny is that this diary was recommended to the top of the list. These people really do not get it. Politics is about labeling your opponents before they get a chance to identify themselves. It seems like the diary writer wants to be honest and not run the pedophile's name through the mud more than they have to. This is why Democrats will continue to lose elections.

Justin Raimondo On Rangel/Pelosi
Once again, the UN is entertaining – and that's not a good thing. Its ominous meaning is that the world crisis is deepening, but in the meantime we are in for quite a spectacle. Hugo Chávez stole the show the other day, with his remarks likening the president to the Devil, crossing himself and raising his eyes to heaven in a performance that almost brought down the house. Yet his speech – little more than a concatenation of epithets and windy proposals to "reform" the UN – didn't amount to very much. It was, nevertheless, an occasion for a lot of politicians and pundits to chime in with their reviews, mainly from liberal Democratic peacocks who took the opportunity to proudly display their "patriotic" credentials. Listen to that old fraud and blowhard Charlie Rangel give Chávez a Bronx cheer:
"You do not come into my country, my congressional district, and you do not condemn my president. If there is any criticism of President Bush, it should be restricted to Americans, whether they voted for him or not. I just want to make it abundantly clear to Hugo Chávez or any other president, do not come to the United States and think because we have problems with our president that any foreigner can come to our country and not think that Americans do not feel offended when you offend our Chief of State."
If Rangel wants to propose a mutual nonintervention pact with Venezuela, I'm sure that would be fine by Chávez. The recent history of American meddling in Venezuelan affairs is substantial, to say nothing of the long record of U.S. support for ostensibly "anti-communist" juntas and coup leaders during the Cold War era. But the problem with Rangel's complaint goes beyond its brazen hypocrisy. One has to ask, why should criticism of the president be "restricted to Americans"?
If there's a 3rd party on your ballot this November, vote for that 3rd party. The Democrats and Republicans are pulling one of the greatest con jobs ever on the American people.

Bush Will Not Be Impeached
This is the 1st time I've seen them rush to defend Bush and to be honest, it's enough to make you never want to vote for a Democrat again. Numerous world leaders have criticized Bush over the past 4 years yet I did not see Rangel or Pelosi running to defend him in the past.
This defense of Bush is a political stunt by the Democrats to make them look more patriotic to the voting public. Let me explain. By defending Bush, they are trying to convince the public that despite the differences between Pelosi/Rangel(Democrats) and Bush(Republicans), they back him as president and will not let some leader from another nation put down their president(national leader).
The Democrats are bought off by the Israeli lobby as well and a lot of them are just as neoconservative as the Republicans. If they take over Congress, they will not impeach Bush because they are weak, spineless, and bought off by various groups. They will claim that they do not want to drag the nation through another impeachment and will try to present themselves as peacemakers who reach over to the other side of the political aisle.
I will advise everyone I know to vote against the Democrats because they are just as bad as the Republicans. We need major reform in our political system because this two party system(really one party) is not working.
Leading Bush critic at home calls Chavez a "thug"
Thinking About Enlisting In The Military?
But if you are just joining so that you can learn a trade or pay for college, I would tell you to consider other options because Bush's war on terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, and probably Iran will not allow you to attend college classes or learn a trade that you can use in the real world(unless you plan on having a career as a member of a Swat team or as a NOC officer for the CIA).

Frank Thomas For MVP
The White Sox were stupid for letting this man go and they paid for it by getting swept by the A's and Frank Thomas. I doubt that Thomas will win the MVP because the fix is in for Derek Jeter but it would be nice to see him get it. Frank was the best player on the White Sox for years and he's proving to his doubters that he is still one of the best in the league.

Blurring The Lines
The ABC movie/docudrama is nothing more than a propaganda film designed to brainwash the masses into thinking that what is in the movie is what really happened prior to 9-11.
The media is not liberal. Republicans would like us to think that the media is progressive/liberal but the media is corporate owned. They filter the news to the American public and seek to turn the majority of the population into obedient sheep.
Learn to think for yourself and do not rely on the corporate owned media for your news.

Senate: No pre-war Saddam, Qaeda link
WASHINGTON - There's no evidence
Saddam Hussein had a relationship with Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and his Al-Qaida associates, according to a Senate report on prewar intelligence on
Iraq. Democrats said the report undercuts
President Bush's justification for going to war.
The declassified document being released Friday by the Senate Intelligence Committee also explores the role that inaccurate information supplied by the anti-Saddam exile group the Iraqi National Congress had in the march to war.
It discloses for the first time an October 2005
CIA assessment that prior to the war Saddam's government "did not have a relationship, harbor, or turn a blind eye toward Zarqawi and his associates."
Bush and other administration officials have said that the presence of Zarqawi in Iraq before the war was evidence of a connection between Saddam's government and al-Qaida. Zarqawi was killed by a U.S. airstrike in June this year.
The long-awaited report, said Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., a member of the committee, is "a devastating indictment of the Bush-Cheney administration's unrelenting, misleading and deceptive attempts" to link Saddam to al-Qaida.
Impeach Bush!

Early Morning Training
This is from an article on early morning training:
When is the best time of day to do your cardio? The answer is any time! The most important thing is that you just do it. Continuous cardiovascular exercise, such as walking, jogging, stairclimbing, or cycling, sustained for at least 30 minutes, will burn body fat no matter when you do it. However, if you want to get the maximum benefits possible from every minute you invest in your workouts, then you should consider getting up early and doing cardio before you eat your first meal - even if you're not a "morning person." Early morning cardio on an empty stomach has three major advantages over exercising later in the day:
Early morning before you eat, your levels of muscle and liver glycogen (stored carbohydrate) are low. If you eat dinner at 7 p.m and you eat breakfast at 7 a.m., that's 12 hours without food. During this 12-hour overnight fast, your levels of glycogen slowly decline to provide glucose for various bodily functions that go on even while you sleep. As a result, you wake up in the morning with depleted glycogen and lower blood sugar - the optimum environment for burning fat instead of carbohydrate. How much more fat you'll burn is uncertain, but some studies have suggested that up to 300% more fat is burned when cardio is done in a fasted, glycogen-depleted state.
Morning Cardio Benefit #1
So how exactly does this work? It's quite simple, really. Carbohydrate (glycogen) is your body's primary and preferred energy source. When your primary fuel source is in short supply, this forces your body to tap into its secondary or reserve energy source; body fat. If you do cardio immediately after eating a meal, you'll still burn fat, but you'll burn less of it because you'll be burning off the carbohydrates you ate first. You always burn a combination of fat and carbohydrate for fuel, but depending on when you exercise, you can burn a greater proportion of fat relative to carbohydrate. If doing cardio first thing in the morning is not an option for you, then the second best time to do it would be immediately after weight training. Lifting weights is anaerobic (carbohydrate-burning) by nature, and therefore depletes muscle glycogen. That's why a post lifting cardio session has a similar effect as morning cardio on an empty stomach.

Bush Is Delusional
US President George W. Bush has announced that the United States will not be leaving Iraq during his presidency, RAW STORY has learned.
"Either you say, 'Yes it’s important we stay there and get it done,' or we leave," Bush argued. "We’re not leaving so long as I’m the president. That would be a huge mistake."
At a news conference today, Bush also conceded that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction.
Bush opened his remarks at 10 AM, announcing that the nation would be offering $230 million in aid to Lebanon. The president also called for fast deployment of an international peacekeeping force.
Late in the conference, when asked what Iraq's role was in the World Trade Center attacks, the president said, "Nothing."
But he went on to suggest that by overthrowing Saddam Hussein's regime, the United States could forestall future acts of terrorism by defeating resentment with hope, "and the best way to do hope is through a form of government."
I hope all the Republican voters caught that last part. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 but a lot of Republicans still believe that Saddam planned the 9-11 attacks.
Don't put your hope with the Democratic party because I doubt if they would impeach him. We're stuck with Bush for 2 more years and I hope we do not have a terror attack before that time.

Fear. Fear, Fear
That's the message of the Bush administration.
They want Americans to be afraid to continue to vote Republican.
Check out this from Raw Story:
A United Airlines flight from London to Washington DC was diverted to Boston after a confrontation with a female passenger on board the plane. The FBI has confirmed the incident.
The passenger, said CBS4 in Boston, had "a screwdriver, vaseline, water and a book referencing al Qaeda," along with matches, and claimed to be claustrophobic.
How the woman got the items onto the plane amid tight security has not yet been made clear.
Yep! She sure does sound like a mean old terrorist looking to take America down!
I guess you can't read books referencing Al-Qaida on planes anymore. The corporate media said she had a note referencing Al-Qaida now this story says she had a book. These bungling bozos in the media can't even get their stories straight.

Is This Discrimination?
THE Government is discussing with airport operators plans to introduce a screening system that allows security staff to focus on those passengers who pose the greatest risk.
The passenger-profiling technique involves selecting people who are behaving suspiciously, have an unusual travel pattern or, most controversially, have a certain ethnic or religious background.
The system would be much more sophisticated than simply picking out young men of Asian appearance. But it would cause outrage in the Muslim community because its members would be far more likely to be selected for extra checks.
Officials at the Department for Transport (DfT) have discussed the practicalities of introducing such a system with airport operators, including BAA. They believe that it would be more effective at identifying potential terrorists than the existing random searches.
It looks like Britain is definitely becoming more of an authoritarian nation and less of a democratic nation. The threat of terrorism has the people in fear and the governments of Britain and America are taking advantage of the situation. Look for America to try to put in place more restrictions on what people can do.

Mel Gibson Apologizes
August 2, 2006 -- There is no excuse, nor should there be any tolerance, for anyone who thinks or expresses any kind of Anti-Semitic remark. I want to apologize specifically to everyone in the Jewish community for the vitriolic and harmful words that I said to a law enforcement officer the night I was arrested on a DUI charge.
I am a public person, and when I say something, either articulated and thought out, or blurted out in a moment of insanity, my words carry weight in the public arena. As a result, I must assume personal responsibility for my words and apologize directly to those who have been hurt and offended by those words.
The tenets of what I profess to believe necessitate that I exercise charity and tolerance as a way of life. Every human being is God’s child, and if I wish to honor my God I have to honor his children. But please know from my heart that I am not an anti-Semite. I am not a bigot. Hatred of any kind goes against my faith.
I’m not just asking for forgiveness. I would like to take it one step further, and meet with leaders in the Jewish community, with whom I can have a one on one discussion to discern the appropriate path for healing.
I don't know exactly what Mel Gibson said when he was drunk but I doubt that it warrants this type of begging. I'm not saying that it's o.k. to say bad things about Jews, I just think the whole thing is being blown way out of proportion.

34 Youths Among 56 Dead in Israeli Attack
An Israeli airstrike killed at least 56 people, including at least 34 children, in a southern Lebanese village Sunday, the Lebanese Red Cross said. It was the deadliest attack in 19 days of fighting. Lebanese security officials put the toll at 57 dead. Security officials said the toll rose dramatically after 18 people from two families were found in a single room of the building, where dozens of people had been taking refuge from the fighting.I'm beginning to think that the real terrorists in this whole situation is the nation of Israel. It's obvious that they do not care about the civilians in Lebanon. If another nation was doing what Israel is doing, the American government and media would be outraged but because the Israelis are doing it, they get a free pass. Bush and the rapture corner of America are fully behind Israel and if this should escalate in the future, American soldiers will be in Lebanon and/or Syria fighting.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice postponed a visit to Lebanon in a setback for diplomatic efforts to end hostilities.
Infuriated Lebanese officials said they had asked Rice to postpone the visit after Israel's missile strike on Qana. But Rice said she called Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora to say she would postpone the trip, and that she had work to do in Jerusalem to end the fighting.
The missiles destroyed several homes in the village of Qana as people were sleeping.
Israeli said it targeted Qana because it was a base for hundreds of rockets launched at Israeli, including 40 that injured five Israelis on Sunday. Israel said it had warned civilians several days before to leave the village.
"One must understand the Hezbollah is using their own civilian population as human shields," said Israeli Foreign Ministry official Gideon Meir. "The Israeli defense forces dropped leaflets and warned the civilian population to leave the place because the Hezbollah turned it into a war zone."

Israel and Democrats
Israel has the sympathy of the religious wackos in America and that's one of the reasons why American politicians back Israel. Republicans and Democrats in Congress refuse to go against Israel because they do not want to be called anti-semites and they want to be on the good side of the Israeli lobby. Now I know some people will say that Democrats are supposedly progressive but I disagree with that idea because of how Democratic politicians vote in Congress. Let's look at all the things the Democratic party supports:
- Democrats support Israel unconditionally
- Democrats are against gay marriage
- Democrats voted for the Iraq war
- Democrats support an attack on Iran
- Democrats voted for Bush's tax cuts
- Democrats support Bush's illegal alien supporting guest worker program

Buckley:Bush Not A True Conservative
"I think Mr. Bush faces a singular problem best defined, I think, as the absence of effective conservative ideology — with the result that he ended up being very extravagant in domestic spending, extremely tolerant of excesses by Congress," Buckley says. "And in respect of foreign policy, incapable of bringing together such forces as apparently were necessary to conclude the Iraq challenge."
Asked what President Bush's foreign policy legacy will be to his successor, Buckley says "There will be no legacy for Mr. Bush. I don't believe his successor would re-enunciate the words he used in his second inaugural address because they were too ambitious. So therefore I think his legacy is indecipherable"
This is very interesting stuff but why didn't Buckley come out against Bush in 2004? Conservatives are trying to distance themselves from Bush because he is self-destructing but we should not let them do that. Bush is a conservative. Congress is dominated and ruled by conservative Republicans. Conservatives have ruled our government for over 6 years and all they do is spend, spend, spend and back legislation that the majority of Americans disagree with. Their conservative strategies on how to run our government have failed and it is time we kicked them out and started over.

Israel And David Ben Gurion
The Israelis are destroying Lebanon because of Hezbollah but Lebanon has no control over what Hezbollah does. I've been doing a little bit of research so I can understand the modern state of Israel. One of the early leaders of Israel was a man named David Ben Gurion and his zionist philosophy is the base of the Israeli approach to middle eastern affair. Here are some quotes from David Ben Gurion:
- Why should the Arabs make peace? If I were an Arab leader, I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure, God promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? Our God is not theirs. We come from Israel, it's true, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them? There has been antisemitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why should they accept that? They may perhaps forget in one or two generation's time, but for the moment there is no chance. So it's simple: we have to stay strong and maintain a powerful army. Our whole policy is there. Otherwise the Arabs will wipe us out.
- We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.
- The boundaries of Zionist aspirations are the concern of the Jewish people and no external factor will be able to limit them.
- The boundaries of Zionist aspiration include southern Lebanon, southern Syria, today’s Jordan, all of Cis-Jordan [West Bank] and the Sinai.
This is from David Ben Gurion: A Brief Biography:
When Ben-Gurion heard of the Passfield White Paper in 1931 (which proposed halting the implementation of the Balfour Declaration), he was furious with "these cowardly traitors" who were responsible for the proposed new policy. He stated:
"England is a great power, the greatest empire. But to shatter even the largest stones on earth, it takes only a small quantity of explosive powder. Such powder packs tremendous force. If the creative force within us is capable of stopping this EVIL EMPIRE, then the explosive force will ignite, and we will topple this blood-stained imperium. . . . We will be those who take this war upon ourselves and beware thee, British Empire!" (Shabtai Teveth, p. 111) Ben-Gurion called on his colleagues to "prepare for a long and difficult road, if we are left with no alternatives, a road of alliance with the Arabs against these despicable powers." (Shabtai Teveth, p. 112)
Although the British Government nullified the Passfield White Paper soon after, and the alliance between Great Britain and the Zionists continued to flourish until 1945, Ben-Gurion (who commanded the Haganah), Yitzhak Shamir (who commanded the Stern Gang), and Menachem Begin (who commanded the Irgun Gang) all joined forces to wage a war of terror against the British forces in Palestine and the Palestinian people between 1945-1947. Similarly, we predict that when Israel's alliance with the United States outlives its usefulness (especially when the American people recognize that supporting Israel, right or wrong, would not be in their national interests), then the American people will come face to face with a tyrant whom they have armed, financed, and trained. Now Israel has several hundred A-Bombs, and bulling it may not be an option! Time will tell if this "holy alliance" will last and won't collide with America's strategic national interests in the Middle East! In such a case, we wonder how America might react?
Ben-Gurion had strange ideas to justify why Jews have the right to settle in Palestine. He explained that the right of the Jews to Palestine rested on their capacity for developing its resources. He declared in 1930:
"We do not recognize any form of absolute ownership over any country. Any group of diligent persons, every industrious people, is entitled to enjoy the fruits of labor, and do with its talents as it pleases. it has no right to prevent others from doing the same, or to close the doors leading to nature's gifts in the faces of others. The five million inhabitants of Australia have no right to close the gates of their continent--which they alone cannot fully exploit-- and so exclude the masses of desperate people seeking a new place to work. This is the principle behind the right of free migration, championed by international socialism." (Shabtai Teveth, p. 37)
Reading about this man is definitely helping me understand modern Israel.

The Nightmare Called SP2
Earlier today I decided to download SP2 because I wanted to see what type of updates Microsoft put into this service pack. I put the SP2 on both of my computers and the problems started after everything was updated. On my main computer, the SP2 completely knocked off my internet connection and it decided to block Zonealarm, my antivirus program, and my .NET software. Once I saw the problems that this update was giving my main computer, I did a system restore and restored my computer to an earlier date. Everything was back to normal with the main computer. On my laptop, the SP2 blocked all of the same things and it would not let me establish a wireless connection. I immediately uninstalled the SP2 from my laptop and everything was back to normal.
Let me give you some advice. Learn the basics about computers, networking, and security. This will help you in the long run because if you rely on the SP2 and Microsoft updates, you will mess up your system. Go to the library, check out a basic book on networking & security and you'll be o.k.
Do not rely on Microsoft because they will fuck you in the end!!!

Israel
NIZMIT HILL, Israel (Reuters) - Israeli tanks and troops massed near Gaza on Tuesday for a threatened offensive against Palestinian militants as the Israeli government said it would target Hamas leaders if an abducted soldier was not freed.
In northern Gaza, Palestinians blocked roads with dirt and barbed wire. Militants wielding automatic rifles and anti-tank rockets rigged explosive devices along a road as tensions hit their highest since
Israel quit Gaza nearly a year ago.
The United States urged Israel to give diplomatic negotiations a chance to win the release of Corporal Gilad Shalit, who was seized on Sunday by militants who also killed two soldiers in a raid on a military border post.
Israel's military build-up came as Palestinian factions put aside months of internal acrimony and agreed on a manifesto at the heart of a power struggle between the moderate President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas.
The proposal calls for a Palestinian state alongside Israel. But one Hamas lawmaker said the deal did not mean the militant group was recognizing Israel, which it is sworn to destroy.
Israel is looking for any reason to attack the Palestinian people and now they have their reason.

Intel Officials Vs. Bush Regime
WASHINGTON - Senior U.S. intelligence officials said Thursday they have no evidence that Iraq produced chemical weapons after the 1991 Gulf War, despite recent reports from media outlets and Republican lawmakers.
Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and Rep. Peter Hoekstra of Michigan on Wednesday pointed to a newly declassified report that says coalition forces have found 500 munitions in Iraq that contained degraded sarin or mustard nerve agents.
They cited the report in an attempt to counter criticism by Democrats who say the decision to go to war was a mistake.
But defense officials said Thursday that the weapons were not considered likely to be dangerous because of their age, which they determined to be pre-1991.
Pentagon officials told NBC News that the munitions are the same kind of ordnance the U.S. military has been gathering in Iraq for the past several years, and "not the WMD we were looking for when we went in this time."
I'll take the word of an intel official any day of the week over blockhead, borg-like Republicans. Malkin, Hannity and the usual suspects look like they are about to have orgasms over this but this is nothing more than just another ploy to divert your attention from issues that really matter to Americans.
More B.S. From The Bush Regime
June 22, 2006 — Federal agents, including the FBI, launched a series of raids tonight targeting a suspected terror cell based in Miami, and federal law enforcement officials said seven people have been arrested over the past two days.
Among those arrested, five were U.S. citizens, one was a permanent legal resident, and one was a Haitian who was in the United States illegally on a visa overstay, federal officials told ABC News.
The group has been under surveillance for some time and was infilitrated by a government informant who allegedly led them to believe he was an Islamic radical, a Justice Department official said.
The group had expressed interest and discussed bombing targets in Miami and the Sears Tower in Chicago, sources familiar with the investigation said.
I have a very hard time believing anything that the Bush clan puts out. I'm suspicious of the government informant posing a radical Islamist. I want to know exactly what the informant was doing and how far he led the supposed terrorists. The November elections are very close and the doctored Bin Ladin tape of October 2004 shows that these corrupt bastards will do anything to stay in power.

Corrupt Political Parties
I think it will be peaceful and a new political party will be formed to take the place of the Democrats and Republicans. The politicians in Washington should keep in mind these words from the Declaration of Independence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. —Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

FBI Says "No Hard Evidence Connecting Bin Ladin to 9-11"
On June 5, 2006, the Muckraker Report contacted the FBI Headquarters, (202) 324-3000, to learn why Bin Laden’s Most Wanted poster did not indicate that Usama was also wanted in connection with 9/11. The Muckraker Report spoke with Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI. When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Laden’s Most Wanted web page, Tomb said, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.”I find it amazing that the FBI cannot find enough evidence to directly link Bin Ladin to the Sept 11, 2001 attacks. America has been deceived by the government and it seems like the people really don't give a shit. I say that the people do not give a shit because millions of people continue to support this administration and 61 million people voted for Bush. Americans continue to look the other way while this corrupt administration shreds our constitution and allows our military to fight in a meaningless war. The short-selling prior to 9-11, the ineffectiveness of our military on 9-11, and Bush continuing to listen to a bunch of kids after he was told about 9-11 led me to believe that it was an inside job. As President of the United States, Bush should've been available to give orders to the military to shoot down planes but he just sat there and listened to My Pet Goat.
Surprised by the ease in which this FBI spokesman made such an astonishing statement, I asked, “How this was possible?” Tomb continued, “Bin Laden has not been formally charged in connection to 9/11.” I asked, “How does that work?” Tomb continued, “The FBI gathers evidence. Once evidence is gathered, it is turned over to the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice than decides whether it has enough evidence to present to a federal grand jury. In the case of the 1998 United States Embassies being bombed, Bin Laden has been formally indicted and charged by a grand jury. He has not been formally indicted and charged in connection with 9/11 because the FBI has no hard evidence connected Bin Laden to 9/11.”
It shouldn’t take long before the full meaning of these FBI statements start to prick your brain and raise your blood pressure. If you think the way I think, in quick order you will be wrestling with a barrage of very powerful questions that must be answered. First and foremost, if the U.S. government does not have enough hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11, how is it possible that it had enough evidence to invade Afghanistan to “smoke him out of his cave?” The federal government claims to have invaded Afghanistan to “root out” Bin Laden and the Taliban. Through the talking heads in the mainstream media, the Bush Administration told the American people that Usama Bin Laden was Public Enemy Number One and responsible for the deaths of nearly 3000 people on September 11, 2001. Yet nearly five years later, the FBI says that it has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.

Zarqawi Dead
Democrats play it down.
Prison Planet:Pentagon Jettisons US Agent Provocateur Al-Zarqawi
I bring you this 2 year article from MSNBC:
With Tuesday’s attacks, Abu Musab Zarqawi, a Jordanian militant with ties to al-Qaida, is now blamed for more than 700 terrorist killings in Iraq.
But NBC News has learned that long before the war the Bush administration had several chances to wipe out his terrorist operation and perhaps kill Zarqawi himself — but never pulled the trigger.
In June 2002, U.S. officials say intelligence had revealed that Zarqawi and members of al-Qaida had set up a weapons lab at Kirma, in northern Iraq, producing deadly ricin and cyanide.
The Pentagon quickly drafted plans to attack the camp with cruise missiles and airstrikes and sent it to the White House, where, according to U.S. government sources, the plan was debated to death in the National Security Council.
‘People were more obsessed with developing the coalition to overthrow Saddam than to execute the president’s policy of pre-emption against terrorists.’
This strike was a political move to save Bush and his political allies. This is a mini Wag the Dog moment and this whole administration should be ashamed of itself for waiting 4 years to take out Zarqawi when they had the chance back in 2002.

I have to add something here. There is no evidence that Iran has a nuclear weapons program. The IAEA even said that Iran is abiding by the NPT. Bush did the same exact thing in 2002 right before the fall elections. He talked about diplomacy but once the fall elections of 2002 were over and the terrorism talk and war talk combined with the lack of spine in the Democratic Party led to more Republican victories, the talk about diplomacy was over and it was time to attack Iraq. The same method is being used again and I'm waiting to see if Americans will fall for it again.

Foreign Flags & Che Guevara
I was on the bus yesterday and I noticed a latino guy with a Mexican flag tied to his bookbag. Why do American citizens do this? I don't understand it at all. If someone wants to celebrate their culture, I support that 100% but can we stop with the ridiculous flag waving.
I was walking today and I spotted a woman wearing a bright red shirt with a picture of Che Guevara. This is another one of those things that makes me shake my head. Che Guevara was a Communist who supported the freedom hating USSR. He routinely blasted the American government while promoting the totalitarian regime that was in the USSR(Hypocrite?). He repressed and killed thousands of people yet young people wear shirts with his picture on it and celebrate him like he's a hero. I think that anyone who wears a Che shirt is an idiot. If you're wearing a Che shirt, you should not be allowed to reproduce because it's obvious that your IQ is below 100.
The major religions believe that the meek shall inherit the earth. I'm starting to think that someone made a mistake. There are more idiots than smart people in the world. Most people rely on emotional reasoning. In 21st century America, rational thinking is a rare thing. Most of the people of the world are sheep who will believe anything that their government or religious leaders tell them. The meek will not inherit the earth. Religious wackos and cretins wearing Che shirts will inherit the earth and that's when the world will end.
I don't usually support NewsMax but this article fits the post.

A 370 Mile Fence
This is from ABC News:
The Senate agreed to give millions of illegal immigrants a shot at U.S. citizenship and backed construction of 370 miles of triple-layered fencing along the Mexican border Wednesday. Prospects for legislation clearing Congress were clouded by a withering attack against President Bush by a prominent House Republican.
"Regardless of what the president says, what he is proposing is amnesty," said Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., the lawmaker who would lead House negotiators in any attempt to draft a compromise immigration bill later this year.
Bush stood his ground. "The Republican Party needs to lead on the issue of immigration," he told an audience of GOP donors, "…America can be a lawful society and a welcoming society and we don't have to choose between the two."
The blast by Sensenbrenner, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, came on the day the White House dispatched top presidential aide Karl Rove to ease the concerns of rebellious House Republicans and GOP senators clashed on the Senate floor.
If the Republicans in the Senate want to remain in office, they had better take that guest worker plan off of the table. Everyone knows that it is a form of amnesty and I doubt if they can change the minds of the people who want the current laws on the books enforced.

Senate Rejects 'Security-First' Proposal
Senate Rejects 'Security-First' Proposal
This is from the NY Times:
The Senate defeated, 55 to 40, a proposal by Senator Johnny Isakson, Republican of Georgia, that lawmakers demand that border-security measures be in place before beginning a guest-worker program of the kind envisioned by President Bush.
The 55 senators rejected Mr. Isakson's argument that, if the Congress did not act now, it would have to a decade or so from now, and that "instead of 10 million or 12 million, it will be 24 million" illegal immigrants at issue.
Opponents of the Isakson measure (36 Democrats, 18 Republicans and the independent James Jeffords of Vermont) maintained that it would be an obstacle to the kind of comprehensive legislation that is needed.
When you break down the vote, you see that more Republicans favored security 1st and more Democrats favor open borders. The Republican led Senate has screwed things up in America but if the Democrats take over, I believe that they would give all the illegal aliens amnesty and this is unacceptable to me. I'll be watching the Senate votes very closely to see which side has the balls to secure our borders and deny the illegals amnesty.

The Bush Speech
I was thinking that a compromise would have to be made but I've changed my mind. We can't give in to the pro-amnesty, reconquista types who want to destroy America and take over the southwest.
Here's what I think should be done.
The United States government should build a wall along the border, equip it with 100s of cameras, hire and train 1000s of new Border Patrol Agents, and put the National Guard and the Army on the border until those agents are trained. Any illegal immigrant caught trying to sneak into America or any illegal immigrants caught in the USA should be treated as criminals and should be sent back to their home nation. Any company caught employing illegal aliens should be fined $250k per illegal alien. I say no to amnesty and the new guest worker plan. If these people really want to work in America, they can do it the way everyone else does it and you can see how everyone else does it by clicking here.
What should be done about the people who are here illegally? I think that we should deport them. I disagree with Bush on deportation. Anything can be accomplished once you put your mind to it and deportation of millions of people would be rather easy. What wouldn't be easy is the media scrutiny if we decided to deport millions of people and the possiblity that the illegal aliens might riot. I can't wait to see what the Senate Republicans do because I think their actions will determine if the Republicans maintain control of Congress in November.

Laura Bush
This is from Reuters:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - First lady Laura Bush said on Sunday she does not believe opinion polls showing her husband's approval ratings at record low levels.
Interviewed on Fox News Sunday, Laura Bush said she did not think people were losing confidence in President George W. Bush, despite a series of polls showing support for him at its lowest point in his five-year presidency and among the lowest for any president in the past 50 years.
"I don't really believe those polls. I travel around the country. I see people, I see their responses to my husband. I see their response to me," she said.
Damn! She is one delusional woman. Bush speaks before handpicked crowds. What Laura sees is the 29% of America that still supports Bush. She does not see that most of the nation hates his guts.

Interesting Article From CNN
On Latino Population Growth
President Bush and Congress have been debating changes to the nation's immigration laws in recent months, spawning a series of high-profile demonstrations across the country by protesters sympathetic to illegal immigrants.The Republicans are more conservative and they do not believe in a social safety net. This is what I think will happen. The House of Representatives will not give in on the immigration debate and in order to pass an immigration bill, the Senate will have to pull any type of amnesty off of the table. There will also be a civilian backlash against illegal aliens along the border and this will be started by the conservative movement. Minorities will not like what's happening and the Republicans will be seen as harsh toward immigrants and those of hispanic descent. Then, like Mark Sawyer said in the article, red states will suddenly turn blue and the Republicans will lose control. Once the Democrats take control, they will pass a new immigration bill that gives all of the illegal aliens amnesty and the Democrats will have their new voting bloc for decades.
Mark Sawyer, an assistant professor of political science at UCLA, said the growing Hispanic population nationwide could tip the political balance in some states.
Potentially alienating Hispanic voters, he said, "is of concern to the Republican Party."
Hispanic voters, he said, tend to "believe in a kind of social safety net."
"They're concerned about education and health care and believe the government should play a role in it," Sawyer said. "That potentially means that many red states may turn blue, particularly those that still have a large African-American population."
