Bob Parks and the FINAL word on RACE

Yep...he pretty much owns this topic. But due to our Politically Castrated stupidity, it's not racist if a black man says it. Oh wait, that's a liberal black man. So just wait for everyone to yell "racist" at Bob. I'd pay to see that...Bob was on the Navy, and has years of pent up "Shut the hell up, ignorant niggah!" just begging to be released!

Bob, you nailed it!

This CAN'T Be Good: NK Delegation Visits Venezuela

By: Resa LaRu Kirkland

I have made it my duty to get people to call the evil we face in this day and age what it truly is: Islammunism. Not only is Islamofascism incorrect, the calling of evil or unpopular regimes “fascist” was the goal of Krushev when he was training infiltrators on how to bring down the USA. His reasoning? Words play subtle tricks on the mind—that is the essence of PC, and why I call it “Political Castration.” The word correct—even if you say you don’t buy into it—has an effect on the brain of all who hear or read it.

Never call it correct again.

It is why, starting in the late 1950’s, you started to see small changes. No longer did textbooks, movies, or media refer to America as a Republic; we were a democracy, because Krushev knew that that word would cause the easily led to be more inclined to vote Democratic, which was just the lip-glossed version of Communism. Hitler’s Nazis? THEY WERE SOCIALISTS. They were on the left of the spectrum, which is one reason Hitler and Stalin HATED each other. You can only have one Communist leader, and they both wanted it. But so thoroughly did Krushev’s Kronies take over the three commonalities of America that we now refer to the Nazis as “fascists,” which he taught his people to call any unpopular or brutal regime rather than “Communist.”

That one worked as well.

It is a frighteningly effective weapon, and it only took about 20 years—from the mid-60’s to the mid-80’s--before we were passing laws against free speech. Twenty years; that’s all it took for us to fall for it and embrace it.

I’ll give you a quick lesson on the “Three Commonalities” that Krushev based his assault strategy upon. You see, Krushev was absolutely amazed over what he saw in America. The first 12 years of school were the same for everyone, rich or poor. In fact, it was actually against the law in America NOT to go to school! Then came the American love of movies. Movies—unlike today—were something Americans did—rich or poor, because it was incredibly cheap back then to go, just ask your grandpa—three or four times a week. And every American had equal access to media—newspapers, magazines, and televisions. Being from a culture of elitism, it blew him away to see the level access everyone had. He could use this to his advantage.

Back in the USSR, Krushev explained: if they could control the “Three Commonalities” in America, they could bring down the entire country without ever firing a bullet. What are the three commonalities? Education, Media, and Hollywood.

By controlling Education, they had hold of the future, and could make it into anything they wanted. By controlling the Media, they had control of the present, and could establish beliefs and inflame emotions, which are the antidote to the logic center of the brain. By controlling Hollywood, they could re-make the past, manufacturing memories and using guilt, shame, and fear—through Political Castration—to keep those who question oppression or insist on freedom and reason in line.

It worked beautifully, too. Seriously, you thought it was just a coincidence that those who came of age in the 60’s were the bile of America’s small intestine? They were carefully shaped and manufactured, and God help us! They succeeded. Thanks to them, we have sky rocketing housing costs, oil (all the tree-hugging whale-kissing Islam-bowing commie-lickers have everything to do with it), and the food we DO have we’re making into the fuel we can’t afford.

Apparently pot is super duper brain food.

And that brings us to today. It was only a few words at North Korea’s ONLY newspaper:

Pyongyang, June 19 (KCNA) -- The DPRK delegation led by Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs Kim Hyong Jun left Pyongyang on Thursday by air to attend the 7th meeting of information ministers of non-aligned countries to be held in Venezuela.
The delegation is also to visit
Cuba, Mexico and other Latin American countries.

That’s it. Two sentences. What’s to worry, you say?

Let’s start with the obvious: the definition of Non-Aligned Countries:

The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) is an international organization of states considering themselves not formally aligned with or against any major power bloc. It was founded in April 1955; as of 2007, it has 118 members. The purpose of the organization as stated in the Havana Declaration of 1979 is to ensure "the national independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of non-aligned countries" in their "struggle against imperialism, colonialism, neo-colonialism, racism, Zionism, and all forms of foreign aggression, occupation, domination, interference or hegemony as well as against great power and bloc politics."[1] They represent nearly two-thirds of the United Nations's members and comprise 55 percent of the world population, particularly countries considered to be developing or part of the third world --Wikipedia

Sounds fairly benign. So why are the hairs on the back of my neck standing at attention?

I think it has to do with the next part.

Members have, at various times, included: Yugoslavia, India, Ghana, Pakistan, Algeria, Libya, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Indonesia, Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela, post-1994 South Africa, Iran, Malaysia, and, for a time, the People's Republic of China…While the organization was intended to be as close an alliance as NATO or the Warsaw Pact, it has little cohesion and many of its members were actually quite closely aligned with one or another of the great powers. For example, Cuba was closely aligned with the former Soviet Union during the Cold War era. India was effectively aligned with the Soviet Union against China for many years. Additionally, some members were involved in serious conflicts with other members (e.g. India and Pakistan, Iran and Iraq). The movement fractured from its own internal contradictions when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979. While the Soviet allies supported the invasion, other members (particularly Islamic nations) of the movement did not.--Wikipedia

There! See the part in bold? That’s what got my neck hairs all riled up. That’s why no one saw the unholy alliance, the Hitler/Stalin era non-aggression pact style agreement between Islam and Communism that has taken hold in only the past decade. Everyone thought these two evil nightmares hated each other more than they hated us, so everyone ignored the overwhelming signs.

We knew better, dammit, and that’s why it’s so frustrating.

Evil always seeks out evil. Evil eats its own. Evil creates secret combinations to benefit evil only, and when it does, it uses other, weaker evils to fertilize its garden of Armageddon. Evil shares WMD technology ONLY with evil, evidenced in the great Khan Con of stealing technology for Pakistan—an Islamic country—then giving it to North Korea—a Communist country—who then gives it to Iran—and Islamic country.

Just look at the countries ol’ Kim considers his drinking buddies. It’s like a Who’s Who of Satan’s Sewer. And what bothers me most of all is that North Korea hardly needs its Tae Podong 2—which can reach Alaska and Hawaii, and already has, btw—if its drunken frat brothers are within spitting distance: Cuba, Colombia, and Venezuela in particular.

Evil is surrounding us. And now a group from Satan’s laboratory is going on a field trip to up and coming Satanic bowel movement we call Venezuela. And what lies between Venezuela and Canada? Corruption, incompetence, and the look-the-other-way, selling-our-souls-to-the-highest-bidder mentality of a nation that feeds on its own people.

Oh, plus there's Mexico and Central America.

Yep, Krushev did a bang-up job. Fitting that another commie nation will be the one to finish us off with a bang, then celebrate Islammunist style. Hummus and Kimchi...yum.

Keep the faith, bros, in all things courage, and no substitute for VICTORY.

This is why I'm trying to get a Doc done in Canada....

HAT TIP: Michael, of course


ABC News
EXCLUSIVE: Hezbollah Poised to Strike?

Hezbollah
(ABC News Exclusive)

Officials Say "Sleeper Cells" Activated in Canada
By RICHARD ESPOSITO and BRIAN ROSS

June 19, 2008—



Intelligence agencies in the United States and Canada are warning of mounting signs that Hezbollah, backed by Iran, is poised to mount a terror attack against "Jewish targets" somewhere outside the Middle East.

Intelligence officials tell ABC News the group has activated suspected "sleeper cells" in Canada and key operatives have been tracked moving outside the group's Lebanon base to Canada, Europe and Africa.

Officials say Hezbollah is seeking revenge for the February assassination of Hezbollah's military commander, Imad Mugniyah, killed by a car bomb in Damascus, Syria.

The group's leaders blamed Israel, an allegation denied by Israeli officials.

There is no credible information on a specific target, according to the officials.

Suspected Hezbollah operatives have conducted recent surveillance on the Israeli embassy in Ottawa, Canada and on several synagogues in Toronto, according to the officials.

Latin American is also considered a possible target by officials following Hezbollah's planning.

A senior US counter-terrorism official told ABC News, "There are concerns Hezbollah might be ready to do something along those lines."

Three US law enforcement agencies say they have been briefed on the developments by intelligence agencies.

A spokesperson for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service says the agency does not comment on the existence of ongoing intelligence operations.

Officials say the CIA, the NSA, and British and Canadian intelligence agencies began to pick up a steady stream of information - from electronic intercepts, human sources and surveillance - about a possible Hezbollah attack on Feb. 17, just days after the Beirut funeral of Mugniyah where Hezbollah leaders publicly declared they would seek revenge.

"They want to kill as many people as they can, they want it to be a big splash," said former CIA intelligence officer Bob Baer, who says he met with Hezbollah leaders in Beirut last month.

"They cannot have an operation fail," said Baer, "and I don't think they will. They're the A-team of terrorism."

Alarms were first raised in Canada, where as many as 20 suspected Hezbollah members have been under surveillance after as many as four suspected "sleeper cells" were activated, including one known as "Rashedan," intelligence officials tell ABC News. The members also received instruction to send their family members home to Lebanon, according to officials.

Officials have also reported that a known Hezbollah weapons expert was followed to Canada, where he was seen at a firing range south of Toronto, near the US border.

Intelligence officials said the recent Hezbollah activities were being coordinated with the help of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards.

"Hezbollah would not carry out an attack in the west, or wherever this attack is going to occur, without approval from Tehran," said Baer, the former CIA intelligence officer.

Baer says his Hezbollah contacts told him an attack against the US was unlikely because Iran and Hezbollah did not want to give the Bush administration an excuse to attack.

While US officials say there is no credible information of a Hezbollah attack on American soil, the Homeland Security Secretary, Michael Chertoff, told Fox News two weeks ago, that "they make al Qaeda look like a minor league team."

"Hezbollah remains a threat to security in different parts of the world," said FBI Special Agent Richard Kolko, section chief for the national Press Office.

"The FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces conduct investigations into different groups that potentially pose a threat to the US or our interests overseas; however, the FBI and DHS have no specific intelligence about any group or so called sleeper cells planning an attack. Our job is to gather intelligence, work with our domestic and international partners to identify and disrupt any terrorism event," said Kolko.

Toronto has long been considered an important city for Hezbollah fund-raising and organizing, according to officials.

Pro-Hezbollah rallies and billboards depicting Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, have outraged Jewish groups.

"Because of lax immigration policies, it became a center for Hezbollah operations outside the Middle East," said Malcolm Hoenlein, of the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations.

Hezbollah was declared a terror group by the government of Canada in December, 2002, leading to an increased surveillance of suspected members.

The last major attack by the terror group outside of the Middle East occurred in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1994.

Argentinean authorities formally blamed Hezbollah and Iran for attacks on a Jewish community center that killed 85 people. Twenty-nine people died in an attack on the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires in 1992 that was also blamed on Hezbollah and Iran.

As a political organization, Hezbollah, which means "Party of God," plays a significant role in Lebanese politics as the leading opposition force.

Founded in 1982, following Israel's invasion of Lebanon, the group came to represent Lebanon's Shiite population and has increased its power and influence in recent months.

The great HOME snatch--Do what you have to to pay off your homes NOW

Hat Tip: Michael

(Michael was the first to suggest two years ago that Hillary Clinton would take homes under the state...that got me to researching the words of the prophets, and here's what I concluded.)

Something interesting that occurred to me only recently. I will tell you about it, but first I must tell you another discovery that will help you understand it.

When I was teaching an adult Sunday School class about 12 years ago, two of the older members told me that back in 1958, LDS Apostles and Seventies were making the rounds and telling them that they had received revelation that those children born from 1960 on would be the cream of the crop; there would be none better, and that those who bore them must be prepared to deal with offspring who would be able to do what they never could.

That got me to thinking. Why so specific? Why 1960 but not 1959? As I studied I came to the conclusion that God follows logic and reason, and that dates are set for a reason often not for the here and now, but for their significance later; in other words, being told now that these are special for a reason and being asked to take it on faith.

The cool thing is that you get the answer later as to why such a specific date.

So I started going to all the significant dates for those in the LDS church from 1960 on. Those born in 1960 would have their first significant date in 1968--age 8, when we are baptized--then 1972--age 12, when boys receive the Aaronic priesthood--then 1978--when men can receive the Melchezidic Priesthood, then....

Bingo.

THAT is why the date 1960 was so significant, so specific. Because the revelation of all worthy members holding the priesthood came in 1978, when those born in 1960 would be 18, old enough to hold the Melchezidek Priesthood, a necessity before you can serve a mission for the LDS church. The next significant date would be 19--mission time. And how long does it take to go from Aaronic to Melchezidek for adults who weren't in the church at a younger age? One year.

Dates matter.

I told you that so you could see the logic in what comes next.

In 1979, my parents attended a meeting that really affected them. At that meeting they were told that if they didn't already own a home it was almost too late. It so shook them that within 4 months they purchased their first and only home, even though under Carter mortgage interest rates were 19%. The speaker had spoken with such strength that they acted on it immediately.

So I applied the same logic.

What is the average length of a home loan? 30 years. 30 years from 1979 is 2009. All of the chatter floating after Hillary Clinton recently suggested that the state buy mortgages for people--just the beginning to the state snatching all property and ending private property ownership once and for all--indicated that it would only apply to those who still had mortgages, NOT for those who already owned their homes.

The church was was warning everyone that they needed to have their homes paid for BY 2009-2010 if they were going to be able to keep their homes and their freedom. I absolutely believe that we will see the end of private home ownership within the next 2-3 years, and that given this mortgage crisis, the government will take all current mortgages over. The only people who won't then be a slave to the government will be those who have already paid off their mortgages. (Watch the government TRY to maneuver around this, too. But in the northwest, they won't be successful, otherwise the Prophet would not have seen reason to warn us to have them paid for.)

Do whatever it takes to pay off your home. Those of you who already have them paid for, help others get theirs. You are here to build our Father's kingdom, NOT your own.

Keep the faith, bro, in all things courage, and no substitute for VICTORY.

JIHAD IN NORTH KOREA--Communism's Embrace of Islam

***Given Iran's recent actions in approaching communist strongholds for help, I thought this article was highly appropriate to run again. This is also why I have called it "Islammunism" for the past 5 years instead of "Islamofascism." To label any totalitarian regime a fascist regime is a trick Kruschev taught those he sent to infiltrate America to prepare the free American brain to reject the right and run toward the left. Hitler's NAZIs were Communists; America is a Republic, not a Democracy. See how beautifully it works?***

JIHAD IN NORTH KOREA
COMMUNISM'S EMBRACE OF ISLAM

By: Resa LaRu Kirkland

I have come to the lonely conclusion that I am the only Korea-watcher who feels that North Korea’s current blustering is different this time. I mean, I know they’ve done it before in this game of "threaten and get paid for it" at which they are so good and we are so accommodating, but something is…well, off this go-around.

We are deeply involved in a war with Islam that will logically and eventually spread to the entire Arab world-Iran is starting to worry us, Syria and Pakistan have long been against us, and Saudi Arabia is not trustworthy. Our leaders have stated publicly again and again that they feel Iraq is the bigger threat specifically, and radical Islam in general. They have also made it clear that we can only handle one Totalitarian at a time, and for the here and now, Saddam is the Dic of Choice.


If you ask me, this news has got to be a God-send to Kim Jong Il, and he is making rumblings of encouraging those around him to join. While Kim’s actions are nothing new, the response of his fellow Asians is. He is playing expertly--now more than ever--on both the communist ideology and fellow war history he shares with China, and the Korean ancestry and separated families he uses to emotionally anguish South Korea into slowly sharing his hatred for America and her allies. The signs are all there: in the strongholds of our friends, the sentiment is turning. Kim is even starting to sound like Saddam…he is using terms such as "holy war," for crying out loud, and Iraq isn’t crying "Thief!" to this obvious plagiarism.

Why?

Isn’t it obvious? They have this Asian buddy firmly entrenched within the ranks of their Jihad, and now it’s time to party like it’s 1999! An Asian buddy who, by the way, has an army of 1 million men and almost another 5 million in the reserves. Iraq’s military isn’t even close to that, but why worry about his army so long as he has friends with the numbers and the same hatred-not to mention the nukes? And that’s not even the worst part.

Interesting, isn’t it, how quickly those whom we have saved from past aggressors turn with the simple implementation of the evil word in the willing ear? On January 9, The Guardian newspaper ran a telling article entitled "North Korea urges South to ‘pool efforts’ against America." It is one thing to have a long-time enemy plan our destruction, but when our "friends" begin to break ranks and take him seriously, freedom shudders. Does this enemy and friend "circling of the wagons" chill anyone else? The adversary is looming like a dark Beast from the (FAR) East, and even our past supporters are running in the midst of its shadow. Yet oddly enough, they are running toward, and not away from, the very Beast who will eventually destroy them too.

The article reads like 1930-s era capitulation: "…Until now White House staff have said that negotiations could not begin until Pyongyang scrapped its uranium enrichment program, shut down a plutonium-producing reactor in Yongban and readmitted international inspectors, who were kicked out last month.

"But Washington’s preferred strategy of using economic sanctions to force the North to back down was rejected by other countries in the region who feared North Korea would become the next Iraq.

"With anti-US sentiment growing in Seoul-usually a staunch ally-George Bush has been forced to accept dialogue with an ‘axis of evil’ country and its leader, Kim Jong Il whom the President admits he ‘loathes.’"

The evidence is mounting, and we are making the wishy-washy-and potentially fatal--mistake of changing our own rules. We will meet with Kim and agree NOT to attack him. It’s about time, I suppose, given the dozens of times we’ve invaded the riches of North Korea (Sarcasm Intended!). This time, Kim’s bluff has worked, but then, maybe that is because it isn’t just a bluff anymore.

Please read that last line again: "…George Bush has been forced to accept dialogue with an ‘axis of evil’ country…" George Bush has been forced. These are the most terrifying words I have read in recent months, and I will tell you why.

North Korea has been a joke for a long time, much like the guy with "little man syndrome" who thinks he can lick any man in the bar. South Korea has longed for the return of loved ones, and besides, they are right there at ground zero. This makes their desire for diplomacy at the very least understandable. They remain, after all, a country divided, families torn apart, and a people fed up with politicos making decisions that they should be making, all within the strain of a constant war threat and now in the shadow of an ominous mushroom cloud. But still, their trend away from their American friend is a betrayal, and if they don’t realize it yet, they soon will.

We have forgotten that China is communist, and that the goal of communism has never changed: to force every knee to bow to it. They tasted success when their massive army and human wave attacks in the early days of the 53 year old Korean War halted the hated Americans at the Yalu. China has tolerated the continued annoyances of this pain-in-the-ass ally named North Korea while still maintaining its distance in order to keep that beautiful American green comin’ in. (Our men were magnificent there, but Big Mac’s intuition about China had been wrong, and those gorgeous American warriors paid the price. The rest of the world will too, if China thinks they are the ones who can stop us. And trust me…. they do.) Make no mistake, however; China WILL back North Korea when the nukes hit the fan.

So the idea that the school yard joke-North Korea-has become capable of actually forcing the Big Man On Campus-America-to back down from its stance is to say the least unsettling. And now, even worse, we are losing our friends-Seoul is showing signs of turning against us, to our shock, and China….well, wise men have never trusted China anyway. Add to this "shocking" treachery the abandonment of America’s War on Terror by friends such as Germany, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Yemen (remember those cement packages that were really Scuds? Watch them…Yemen is following the new popular kids of the playground too…they are just lying to us while they solidify the friendship) and we are fast drawing a line in the playground and choosing up sides.

Now we all know that this is normal schoolyard banter. But what seems to surprise us the most is that those who have consistently chosen our team in the past are now suddenly playing "Red Rover" and switching sides in droves. It couldn’t have come at a more critical point for America and the world.

Islam extremists know that if Iraq is pummeled too hard by America, the Islamic tide in the Middle East will turn against us, especially if Israel becomes involved. Given the Arab red hot hatred of the House of Israel, they will see to it that Israel does eventually indeed become involved. That’s fine with Chairman Kim…he hates Israel almost as much as he hates us.

So the Middle East now has the added weight that Kim Jong Il has been taking advantage of this past year: distraction. His buddy and partner in crime, North Korea, has suddenly taken on what was recently Saddam’s role: the leading role in terrorist threat, and the even more serious dividing of the American attention into two entirely different areas of the globe. This has been to Kim’s benefit in recent months, and the Middle East terrorists are enjoying it now. There must be dancing in Hell tonight at the prospect of the confusing "up-for-grabs" mentality of the world’s loyalties. For a minute, we are looking from the Middle East to the Far East, and terror is hard at work while our heads are turned.

Kim loves it too. I think that his pride is injured at the thought that the world he so wishes to rule considers him somehow less of a threat than some towel-head in the sand dunes. He will not be ignored…no matter what it takes. He has been the scorned one long enough. All we need is a boiling bunny, and we have a Hollywood hit on our hands.

So while I may be in the minority in my conclusion that this time is different, and that North Korea will actually put their words into action, I sense that this solitude is only temporary. When 37,000 American troops cry out from the DMZ just before their voices are cut off in a blinding flash and an agonizing end, I should have plenty of company. Sure, most of them will already be charred corpses, but hey, who can be choosy with so few friends left on earth?

Keep the faith, bros, and in all things courage.

Ved-ee Inter-d-esting!

Firguring Out God
Prophecy and other scary words

By: Resa LaRu Kirkland

Reading some scriptures last night--that I've read a million times before--seemed to have new meaning with current events. Could this be what we are seeing happen right now?

Here's what I was reading, and what I thought of it. (Only the Prophet can speak with any authority about God's direction for His gospel, but we are ALL--as God's children--entitled to the gifts of prophecy, discernment, and understanding concerning everything else in our lives and the lives of those we love or have responsibility over, so lay claim to it people and use it! NOW!)

Daniel 11: 21-22
21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.

First of all, let me stress that I do NOT believe that these verses are speaking of the anti-Christ, if there is a single person he is meant to represent. All men who seek to steal your freedom and set themselves above you, anyone who is a respecter of persons and believes you must do as THEY say--and NOT what is right--are anti-Christs. That was the war in Heaven and that is the war now--between those who want free will (Christ's plan)and those who want force(Lucifer's plan).

A vile person who shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries, to whom the people will NOT give the honour of the kingdom? Does that mean the majority will not elect him? I'll get to that in a minute...only a few verses later there seems to be a confirmation of that fact.

But verse 22 is the one that shook me given recent calamitous events. "...with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant."

My original belief is that this was referring to Israel proper, because the verses before it were speaking of the king of the North--north of Israel is Syria and Lebanon with its Syria-backed Hezbollah--and the king of the South--south of Israel is Egypt and Jordan, who is NOT our friend, or Israel's--coming to Israel. It is chilling that right now Israel is in negotiations with Syria THROUGH Egypt.

Then the last part made me think that Daniel could be referring to America. You see, OT speaks a great deal of two Houses of Israel in the last days: Judah and Joseph. In fact, it states repeatedly that the greater blessing was bestowed on Joseph's seed, and that they would be the one to restore Israel and save Judah, that the stick of Judah (Bible) and the stick of Joseph (Book of Mormon) shall join together as a confirmation of the truth. While Judah has been restored to the land covenanted to Abraham's seed, it is a marvelous wonder that every archaeologist has confirmed that those who peopled England, Scotland, Ireland, and Western Europe all descended from whom? Joseph. And what lands were all the founding fathers from? I rest my case. So I have a sneaking suspicion that this is possibly a reference to the Joes.

Then I remembered that God was speaking to Israel, not just Judah or Joseph. This could be a warning to all 12 tribes which people this earth, and the two nations we know for sure are peopled by the covenant people of Judah and Joseph: Israel and America. However, for the sake of this article, and because I live in America, I will focus on the Joe side of this ancient prophecy regarding Israel.

With the promises and blessings of Joseph being the greatest and resulting in the larger branch of Israel who saves and restores the smaller branch of Israel--a blatant reference to America restoring the state of Israel if I've ever heard one!--it sounds to me like the financial devastation that the floods are causing will be the final straw that breaks the back of the American capitalist system, plunging us full force into the creeping, Stalinistic communism that has been nibbling on our nation since the late 1950's.(It will probably be sold to us as the "temporary and urgent" result of tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, cost of food, oil, etc. When has government of the past 100 years EVER kept its promise of temporary measures, taxes, etc?) The state will then take everything, own all land and companies, and we will go from working half the year for the state(which we do now, as every dime we make in our first six months of work each year goes to government taxes)to working around the clock for the state, who will provide us with housing(cheap crap, ala the USSR), food(not enough, ala the USSR), utilities(which will only work part of the time, ala the USSR), and jobs for the state(where hard work is viewed with suspicion while mediocrity is rewarded, ala the USSR). All of this will leave us permanently indebted to the state and never being able to work enough to free ourselves from government-sanctioned slavery. Enjoy the last minutes of the middle class...it’s been gone longer than we think.

And if it happens to the House of Joseph, we will see it mirrored in the House of Judah, for the call is to all of Israel.

And then there is this: we have long been a nanny-state, where many do not work, or sacrifice for their daily bread(Adam was commanded that to "sacrifice" by the sweat of his brow to provide for Eve, so that she would be free to raise up a righteous generation unto God. Adam's sacrifice was working hard, as Eve's was coming close to death to bear children and "sacrificing" her life in order to raise them well). That makes me wonder regarding this scripture: Daniel 11: 31-- And arms shall stand on his part(he shall control armies?), and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength(the land of the covenanted Joes?), and shall take away the daily sacrifice(individual work and capitalism?), and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate(forcing people to work for the state?). Is the taking away of the "daily sacrifice" actually the taking away of our own motivation, the creeping apathy that has stolen our hard-won freedoms, our own desire to create and work for the good of our family and instead being forced into servitude for the state? Is the abomination which maketh desolate that of communism? Well, how many communist nations do you know of that have ever been prosperous? They're all pretty desolate. And since the idea of being forced to do a thing instead of being allowed to choose for yourself was the plan of Satan, it has to be an abomination, right? And given the unholy alliance that communism has made with Islam--which is also a system of force over free will--will it be Islammunism that takes over? Just a thought.

And now for that confirmation I mentioned:

Daniel 11: 23
23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.

This could very well mean that this leader would be elected by the minority. Blacks are a minority, so are femmies and liberals. Blacks, femmies, and liberals combined don't even come close to the majority, and absolutely believe in the welfare state, the idea that people must submit to them. Now Bill Clinton was the first to be elected without a majority--remember that he never, in either election, broke above the 40-48%--so it will be interesting to see how this election plays out.

Remember, this is what I'm saying, not the Prophet, so please bear in mind that the odds I'm wrong are greater than the odds I'm right. However, as God's daughter, I like you am entitled to any knowledge I study and pray about. The interesting thing I've always noticed when asking Father for help is that the Spirit usually answers with a question, causing me to use the knowledge I already have, the words of the prophet, and logical sequences to come to the truth. This is right in line with Father's teaching that we have in us Deity's DNA, that we can accomplish and overcome everything, and as such have everything we will ever need to know everything. Ain't it cool?

OK, back to work.

Daniel 11: 24
24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers;

He won't come in by force, but by election, or so it will seem. Then, when the country collapses, it will be because we have put in a leader who will not do what his fore-fathers--past leaders--have done. That means he will NOT uphold the Constitution, nor will he honor the Judeo-Christian foundations upon which it was built. America as it has been for over 200 years will cease to exist. It'll happen quickly too.

Daniel 11: 32
32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.

Apparently he will ally himself with enemies of Israel, which as I've stated, includes us Joes as well as the Jews, meaning he will be against us, too. Also, as far as I know, the LDS church is the only Christian religion that doesn't preach that their members are the only ones who will survive the last days. We believe that the "righteous people of the earth" are the ones who will stand for God, and that includes people who live to the best of their knowledge of God and whatever portion of His Gospel they possess; peoples of all religions and beliefs who know that what is happening is wrong and back it up will NOT be ignored by their Father. God does NOT hold His children accountable for knowledge they don't have; only man is foolish enough to do that.

The LDS church teaches that these righteous people will flee to the Rocky Mountains and there uphold and defend the Constitution. It is interesting to note that the Northwest has seen the greatest migration of people in the past 20 years, and remains a conservative and Judeo-Christian stronghold. That can NOT be a coincidence.

Daniel 11: 33
33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.

If you understand, get to instructing. You have an obligation to do so, even if it means you pay for it with your life. And when the "vile person" rules, you very well may.

Do it anyway.

Daniel 11: 35
35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.

These are all precursors to the final battle; it is not yet. There's still work to accomplish. Some will fall in the defense of freedom, and it will only serve to make His people better, stronger, more pure. And evil STILL believes it can thwart the plan of God. Talk about serious denial.

Daniel 11: 36
36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.

Pretty self-explanatory, don't you think? This leader will do what he wants, and get rich doing it, until God is fully indignant....then comes the Mighty Smitey!

Daniel 11: 37-39
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.(I know many think this means that this man will be a homosexual, but I'm thinking it might mean he is mysoginistic, a man who hates and subjugates women. Now what 1.5 billion population of peoples does THAT?)
38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
(There's that term "force" again. He will be a man who forces, since Satan is the god of force, not a believer in free will, and he will worship a God his fathers never knew, a "strange god." The original followers of Islam worshiped the God of Abraham. It wasn't until Muhammed that an ancient moon-God was co-opted and labeled "Allah", a strange god that his father's knew not.)
39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
(The wealthiest nations are Islamic, but only a few "favorites" of the leaders take part in it; the people are poor, backwards and ignorant. You have to be one f****d up leader to manage that.)

Daniel 12: 1
1 AND at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Both the Jews and the Mormons (Joes) believe in the book of life. Get your name in it asap, and you will be delivered. This is the only such promise of hope and total survival I have been able to find in Daniel.

Daniel 12: 10
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

Understand? 'Cause if you don't, time to re-evaluate...

Daniel 12: 11-12
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.


So if my theory is correct, from the time communism is set up by the "vile man" there will be 1290 days. Those that make it to 1335 day mark will have made it. That's a difference of 45 days. Of course, all bets are off if this is the old "one day actually equals a year" thing that we often see in the scriptures. In that case, my bet would be that Christ ended the old daily sacrifice with His sacrifice, and by the Hebrew calendar we are to the 1290+ part, still struggling to make it to 45 years, from whatever date began the 45 day/year countdown.

And now I have a headache.

Fortunately, God does nothing without telling His prophet, so please watch what LDS prophet Thomas S. Monson says and does. I know, I know, you’re not a Mormon. Big whoop…do it anyway. Just as I watch others and read and study about them, watch and study this man. I have found that when these men in the service of God speak, the message is magnificent. As President Gordon B. Hinckley said, shortly before he died earlier this year, when he was asked about troubling times, “The future has never looked brighter.”

Ah…now THAT’S a prophecy I can live with!

Keep the faith, bros, in all things courage, and no substitute for VICTORY.

Ved-ee Inter-d-esting!

Reading some scriptures last night--that I've read a million times before--seemed to have new meaning with current events. Could this be what we are seeing happen right now?

Here's what I was reading, and what I thought of it. (Only the Prophet can speak with any authority about God's direction for His gospel, but we are ALL--as God's children--entitled to the gift of prophecy concerning everything else in our lives and the lives of those we love or have responsibility over, so lay claim to it people and use it! NOW!)

Daniel 11: 21-22
21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.

First of all, let me stress that I do NOT believe that these verses are speaking of the anti-Christ, if there is a single person he is meant to represent. All men who seek to steal your freedom and set themselves above you, anyone who is a respecter of persons and believes you must do as THEY say--and NOT what is right--are anti-Christs. That was the war in Heaven and that is the war now--between those who want free will (Christ's plan)and those who want force(Lucifer's plan).

A vile person who shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries, to whom the people will NOT give the honour of the kingdom? Does that mean the majority will not elect him? I'll get to that in a minute...only a few verses later there seems to be a confirmation of that fact.

But verse 22 is the one that shook me given recent calamitous events. "...with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant."

My original belief is that this was referring to Israel proper, because the verses before it were speaking of the king of the North--north of Israel is Syria and Lebanon with its Syria-backed Hezbollah--and the king of the South--south of Israel is Egypt and Jordan, who is NOT our friend, or Israel's--coming to Israel. It is chilling that right now Israel is in negotiations with Syria THROUGH Egypt.

Then the last part made me think that Daniel could be referring to America. You see, OT speaks a great deal of two Houses of Israel in the last days: Judah and Joseph. In fact, it states repeatedly that the greater blessing was bestowed on Joseph's seed, and that they would be the one to restore Israel and save Judah, that the stick of Judah (Bible) and the stick of Joseph (Book of Mormon) shall join together as a confirmation of the truth. While Judah has been restored to the land covenanted to Abraham's seed, it is a marvelous wonder that every archeologist has confirmed that those who peopled England, Scotland, Ireland, and Western Europe all descended from whom? Joseph. And what lands were all the founding fathers from? I rest my case. So I have a sneaking suspicion that this is a reference to the Joes.

Then I remembered that God was speaking to Israel, not just Judah or Joseph. This could be a warning to all 12 tribes which people this earth, and the two nations we know for sure are peopled by the covenant people of Judah and Joseph: Israel and America. However, for the sake of this article, and because I live in America, I will focus on the Joe side of this ancient prophecy regarding Israel.

With the promises and blessings of Joseph being the greatest and resulting in the larger branch of Israel who saves and restores the smaller branch of Israel--a blatant reference to America restoring the state of Israel if I've ever heard one!--it sounds to me like the financial devastation that the floods are causing will be the final straw that breaks the back of the American capitalist system, plunging us full force into the creeping, Stalinistic communism that has been nibbling on our nation since the late 1950's.(It will probably be sold to us as the "temporary and urgent" result of tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, cost of food, oil, etc. When has government of the past 100 years EVER kept its promise of temporary measures, taxes, etc?) The state will then take everything, own all land and companies, and we will go from working half the year for the state(which we do now, as every dime we make in our first six months of work each year goes to government taxes)to working around the clock for the state, who will provide us with housing(cheap crap, ala the USSR), food(not enough, ala the USSR), utilities(which will only work part of the time, ala the USSR), and jobs for the state(where hard work is viewed with suspicion while mediocrity is rewarded, ala the USSR). All of this will leave us permanently indebted to the state and never being able to work enough to free ourselves from government-sanctioned slavery. Enjoy the last minutes of the middle class...its been gone longer than we think.

And if it happens to the House of Joseph, we will see it mirrored in the House of Judah, for the call is to all of Israel.

And then there is this: we have long been a nanny-state, where many do not work, or sacrifice for their daily bread(Adam was commanded that to "sacrifice" by the sweat of his brow to provide for Eve, so that she would be free to raise up a righteous generation unto God. Adam's sacrifice was working hard, as Eve's was coming close to death to bear children and "sacrificing" her life in order to raise them well). That makes me wonder regarding this scripture: Daniel 11: 31-- And arms shall stand on his part(he shall control armies?), and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength(the land of the covenanted Joes?), and shall take away the daily sacrifice(individual work and capitalism?), and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate(forcing people to work for the state?). Is the taking away of the "daily sacrifice" actually the taking away of our own motivation, the creeping apathy that has stolen our hard-won freedoms, our own desire to create and work for the good of our family and instead being forced into servitude for the state? Is the abomination which maketh desolate that of communism? Well, how many communist nations do you know of that have ever been prosperous? They're all pretty desolate. And since the idea of being forced to do a thing instead of being allowed to choose for yourself was the plan of Satan, it has to be an abomination, right? And given the unholy alliance that communism has made with Islam--who is also a system of force over free will--will it be Islammunism that takes over? Just a thought.

And now for that confirmation I mentioned:

Daniel 11: 23
23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.

This could very well mean that this leader would be elected by the minority. Blacks are a minority, so are femmies and liberals. Blacks, femmies, and liberals combined don't even come close to the majority, and absolutely believe in the welfare state, the idea that people must submit to them. Now Bill Clinton was the first to be elected without a majority--remember that he never, in either election, broke above the 40-48%--so it will be interesting to see how this election plays out.

Remember, this is what I'm saying, not the Prophet, so please bear in mind that the odds I'm wrong are greater than the odds I'm right. However, as God's daughter, I like you am entitled to any knowledge I study and pray about. The interesting thing I've always noticed when asking Father for help is that the Spirit always answers with a question, causing me to use the knowledge I already have, the words of the prophet, and logical sequences to come to the truth.

Ain't it cool?

Ali Sina is someone I deeply admire...

...and he works with good friend Robert Spencer.


The Cyber War has intensified this week. As we have seen here many times, jihadists, Islamic supremacists, and their allies and dupes are afraid of the truth. They will vilify, ignore, or do everything they can to silence their opponents, rather than engaging them in open discussion or debate. And so they have now taken down the fearless and courageous ex-Muslim Ali Sina's site, Faith Freedom, yet again. Ali has a standing invitation on his site: Prove me wrong and I will take this site down. But they can't prove him wrong, so all they can do is try to shut him up.



I know next to nothing about how all this computer business works, but I know enough to know that Ali needs a very strong firewall. His organization is composed of volunteers, and he has no funds to do what is necessary to combat these cyber attacks, which the cowards have launched several times against Faith Freedom over the last few years. If you can help Ali Sina and Faith Freedom in any way, please contact him, or if you have any difficulty in doing so at this time, contact me at director@jihadwatch.org, and I will see that he gets your message.


For crying out loud, people...are we so apathetic that we aren't even willing to fight ONLINE???

Pet Rock for the 21st Century


From Jeff Holland, official artist of WARCHICK.

The name HUSSEIN is a curse...

From MySpace buddy IRANAWARE

Disgusting..
Five weeks ago Leila Hussein told The Observer the chilling story of how her husband had killed their 17-year-old daughter over her friendship with a British soldier in Basra. Now Leila, who had been in hiding, has been murdered - gunned down in cold blood. Afif Sarhan in Basra and Caroline Davies report on the final act of a brutal tragedy.


Leila Hussein lived her last few weeks in terror. Moving constantly from safe house to safe house, she dared to stay no longer than four days at each. It was the price she was forced to pay after denouncing and divorcing her husband - the man she witnessed suffocate, stamp on, then stab their young daughter Rand in a brutal 'honour' killing for which he has shown no remorse.


Though she feared reprisals for speaking out, she really believed that she would soon be safe. Arrangements were well under way to smuggle her to the Jordanian capital, Amman. In fact, she was on her way to meet the person who would help her escape when a car drew up alongside her and two other women who were walking her to a taxi. Five bullets were fired: three of them hit Leila, 41. She died in hospital after futile attempts to save her.


Her death, on 17 May, is the shocking denouement to a tragedy which had its origins in an innocent friendship between her student daughter, Rand Abdel-Qader, 17, and a blond, 22-year-old British soldier known only as Paul.


The two had met while Rand, an English student at Basra University, was working as a volunteer helping displaced families and he was distributing water. Although their friendship appears to have involved just brief, snatched conversations over four months, Rand had confided her romantic feelings for Paul to her best friend, Zeinab, 19.


She died, still a virgin, four months after she had last seen him when her father, Abdel-Qader Ali, 46, discovered that she had been seen talking 'to the enemy' in public. She had brought shame on his honour, was his defence, and he had to cleanse his family name. Despite openly admitting the murder, he has received no punishment.


It was two weeks after Rand's death on 16 March that a grief-stricken Leila, unable to bear living under the same roof as her husband, found the strength to leave him. She had been beaten and had had her arm broken. It was a courageous move. Few women in Iraq would contemplate such a step. Leila told The Observer in April: 'No man can accept being left by a woman in Iraq. But I would prefer to be killed than sleep in the same bed as a man who was able to do what he did to his own daughter.
'

Her words were to prove prescient. Leila turned to the only place she could, a small organisation in Basra campaigning for the rights of women and against 'honour' killings. Almost immediately she began receiving threats - notes calling her a 'prostitute' and saying she deserved to die like her daughter.


Even her sons Hassan, 23, and Haydar, 21, whom she claimed aided their father in their sister's killing, disowned her. Meanwhile, her husband, a former government employee, escaped any charges, and even told The Observer that police had congratulated him on what he had done.


It is not known who killed Leila. All that is known is that she was staying at the house of 'Mariam', one of the women's rights campaigners, whose identity The Observer has agreed not to reveal. On the morning of 17 May, they were joined by another volunteer worker and set off to meet 'a contact' who was to help Leila travel to Amman, where she would be taken in by an Iraqi family.


'Leila was anxious, but she was also happy at having the chance to leave Iraq,' said Mariam. 'Since the death of her daughter, her own life was at serious risk. And this was a great opportunity for her to leave the country and to fight for Iraqi women's rights.


'She had not been able to sleep the night before. I stayed up talking to her about her plans after she arrived in Amman. I gave her some clothes to take with her and she was packing the only bag she had. She was too excited to sleep.
'

Mariam said that when she awoke Leila had already prepared breakfast, cleaned her house and even baked a date cake as a thank-you for the help she had been given. After the arrival of 'Faisal', the volunteer (whose identity is also being protected), the three left the house at 10.30am and started walking to the end of the street to get a taxi. They had walked less than 50 metres when they heard a car drive up fast and then gunshots rang out. The attack, said by witnesses to have been carried out by three men, was over in minutes. Leila was hit by three bullets. Mariam was hit in her left arm and Faisal in her left leg. 'I didn't realise I had been shot for a few seconds, because as I heard the gunfire I saw Leila falling to the ground and saw blood pouring from her head,' said Mariam. 'I was so shocked, I didn't immediately feel the pain.
'

Two men ran from their homes to help. They rushed Leila to hospital and a passing taxi took the other two. But Leila died at 3.20pm, despite several operations to save her. As she lay in her own hospital bed receiving treatment, Mariam said that she heard someone saying that Leila had been shot in the head. But there were other mutterings that were clearly audible. 'I could hear people talking on the corridors and the only thing that they had to say was that Leila was wrong for defending her daughter's mistakes and that her death was God's punishment.


'In that minute I just had complete hatred in my heart for those who had killed her.
'

Police said the incident was a sectarian attack and that there was nothing to link Leila's death to her family. 'Her ex-husband was not in Basra when it happened. We found out he was visiting relatives in Nassiriya with his two sons,' said Hassan Alaa, a senior officer at the local police station in Basra. 'We believe the target was the women activists, rather than Mrs Hussein, and that she was unlucky to be in that place at that time.
'

It is plausible. Campaigners for women's' rights are not acceptable to many sections of Iraqi society, especially in Basra where militias have partial control in some districts and impose strict laws on locals, including what clothing they should wear and what religious practice they should follow.


Since February 2006, two other activists from the same women's organisation have been killed in the city. One of them was reportedly raped before being shot. The other, the only man working for the non-governmental organisation (NGO), and a father of five who was responsible for the organisation's finances, was shot five months ago.


There could be many with a grudge against such organisations. However, Mariam believes Leila was targeted, pointing out she had been hit by three bullets. 'When we were shot, they focused on Leila, not us,' she said.


Since the attack the NGO has stopped its work in Basra. 'We daren't answer the phones because we have received so many threats since we gave our support to Leila's case,' said Mariam. 'Most of our members are preparing to leave the city and even Iraq if they can raise the money.
'

A single mother since her husband was killed for refusing to join a militia, she too intends to move when she can. Faisal, who also survived her injuries, is still suffering post-surgical infection. She preferred not to speak, but her mother, who wished to remain anonymous, said: 'My daughter is very shocked at what happened, and my two grandsons can't stop crying since they saw her in hospital.
'

Leila's burial was arranged within hours of her death by the husband of one of her cousins and Mariam's father.


The Observer visited Rand's father and two brothers at their Basra home, but they refused to talk beyond Hassan proclaiming his father's innocence. When asked if he would be visiting his mother's grave, he shrugged: 'Maybe in the future.
'

Leila was an orphan, raised by an uncle who died in the Shia uprising against Saddam Hussein in the early 1990s. Hamida Alaa, 68, a friend of the uncle, said: 'The poor woman was killed and now her name and history is buried with her. No one wants to speak about it. She is just one more woman killed in our country who has already been forgotten by the local society.
'

In the last days of her life, Leila was suffering from the pressure of having gone against her husband. 'She was sleeping with the help of sedatives,' said Mariam. 'She would wake up at night with terrible nightmares, even dreaming of being suffocated as her daughter was. She had been threatened so many times and that's why she was so scared. Her indignation over Rand's death is what led her to her own coffin. Their history ends here. But Leila was a hero. A woman who was strong enough to say no to Iraqi men's bad attitudes. Sadly most Iraqi women do not have the same strength and they will stay in their homes.
'

Mariam has moved out of her home. But within hours of speaking to The Observer a close friend went to her new address to deliver a message that had been left for her at her front door. It read: 'Death to betrayers of Islam who don't deserve God's forgiveness. Speaking less you will live more.' She believes it was sent by Leila's killers.


'They want this story to be buried with Leila,' she said. 'But I cannot close my eyes to all this.
'

And the story about the daughter..Photobucket
'My daughter deserved to die for falling in love'

"If I had realised then what she would become, I would have killed her the instant her mother delivered her.
"

An update on this honor-killing story.
By Afif Sarhan and Caroline Davies in The Observer, May 11 (thanks to Cindy):

For Abdel-Qader Ali there is only one regret: that he did not kill his daughter at birth. 'If I had realised then what she would become, I would have killed her the instant her mother delivered her,' he said with no trace of remorse.


Two weeks after The Observer revealed the shocking story of Rand Abdel-Qader, 17, murdered because of her infatuation with a British solider in Basra, southern Iraq, her father is defiant. Sitting in the front garden of his well-kept home in the city's Al-Fursi district, he remains a free man, despite having stamped on, suffocated and then stabbed his student daughter to death.


Abdel-Qader, 46, a government employee, was initially arrested but released after two hours. Astonishingly, he said, police congratulated him on what he had done. 'They are men and know what honour is,' he said.


Rand, who was studying English at Basra University, was deemed to have brought shame on her family after becoming infatuated with a British soldier, 22, known only as Paul.


She died a virgin, according to her closest friend Zeinab. Indeed, her 'relationship' with Paul, which began when she worked as a volunteer helping displaced families and he was distributing water, appears to have consisted of snatched conversations over less than four months. But the young, impressionable Rand fell in love with him, confiding her feelings and daydreams to Zeinab, 19.


It was her first youthful infatuation and it would be her last. She died on 16 March after her father discovered she had been seen in public talking to Paul, considered to be the enemy, the invader and a Christian. Though her horrified mother, Leila Hussein, called Rand's two brothers, Hassan, 23, and Haydar, 21, to restrain Abdel-Qader as he choked her with his foot on her throat, they joined in. Her shrouded corpse was then tossed into a makeshift grave without ceremony as her uncles spat on it in disgust.


'Death was the least she deserved,' said Abdel-Qader. 'I don't regret it. I had the support of all my friends who are fathers, like me, and know what she did was unacceptable to any Muslim that honours his religion,' he said....

The learned Western analysts will continue to maintain, of course, that this is a cultural practice that has nothing to do with Islam.
So how is it that Abdel-Qader got this idea?

FROM MY FRIEND STEVE DENISON, WORTHY OF POSTING HERE

I AM confused!!!

RECEIVED THIS, AND NOW I AM MORE CONFUSED THAN I WAS BEFORE .... LET ME SEE IF I HAVE THIS STRAIGHT:

HIS FATHER WAS A KENYAN, MUSLIM, BLACK - WE HAVE SEEN PICTURES OF HIS 'AFRICAN FAMILY'

HIS MOTHER IS A KANSAN, ATHEIST, WHITE - WHERE ARE THE PICTURES OF HIS KANSAN, WHITE MOTHER AND HIS WHITE GRANDPARENTS WHO RAISED HIM?

HIS FATHER DESERTED HIS MOTHER AND HIM WHEN HE WAS VERY YOUNG AND WENT BACK TO HIS FAMILY (WHOSE FAMILY ?) IN KENYA ?

HIS MOTHER MARRIED AN INDONESIAN MUSLIM AND TOOK HIM TO JAKARTA WHERE HE WAS SCHOOLED IN A MUSLIM SCHOOL

HIS MOTHER RETURNED TO HAWAII AND HE WAS RAISED BY HIS WHITE KANSAN GRANDPARENTS ?

HE LATER WENT TO THE BEST HIGH DOLLAR SCHOOLS, HOW?

HE LIVES IN A $1.4 MILLION DOLLAR HOUSE THAT HE ACQUIRED THROUGH A DEAL WITH A WEALTHY FUND RAISER.... HOW?

HE 'WORKED' AS A CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST IN CHICAGO - HAS NEVER HELD A PRODUCTIVE JOB.

THE PRESIDENCY IS NOT A CIVIL RIGHTS POST, NOR IS IT SUBJECT TO AFFIRMATIVE ACTION SET ASIDES

HE ENTERED POLITICS AT THE STATE LEVEL AND THEN THE NATIONAL LEVEL, WHERE HE HAS MINIMAL EXPERIENCE

HE IS PROUD OF HIS 'AFRICAN HERITAGE' BUT IT SEEMS THAT HIS ONLY AFRICAN CONNECTION WAS THAT HIS AFRICAN FATHER GOT A WHITE GIRL PREGNANT AND DESERTED HER.

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT SPERM CARRIED A 'CULTURAL' GENE.

WHERE IS THE PRIDE IN HIS WHITE CULTURE?

HE GOES TO A 'AFROCENTRIC' CHURCH THAT HATES WHITES, HATES JEWS, AND BLAMES AMERICA FOR ALL THE WORLD'S PERCEIVED FAULTS AND THEN REPEATEDLY COVERS UP FOR THE PASTOR AND THE CHURCH

HE CLAIMS THAT HE COULD NOT CONFRONT HIS PASTOR BUT HE WANTS US TO BELIEVE THAT HE CAN CONFRONT NORTH KOREA AND IRAN,

YEAH, RIGHT!!!

YEAH, I THINK I SEE HOW HE COULD BE A 'UNITER' AND BRING US TOGETHER, I THINK THE HOPE IS THAT HE HOPES NO ONE WILL PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER UNTIL AFTER THE 'ELECTION' .

LIKE I SAID AT THE START, ' I AM CONFUSED !!!! '

HOW ABOUT YOU ???
