British government cracking down on Fake Religion
2008-05-14 15:32:00
Photo: Skeptical MonkeyYour first reaction upon reading that headline should be, "Wow, Great! Finally the Brits are wising up and getting rid of Muslims in their country." Sadly, it is only about psychics and mediums. Muslims will still be able to pretend that the militant political ideology known as Islam is a religion. By the end of this month the Brits are set to pass a series of regulations consistent with those of the EU intended to protect consumers from commercial scams that we in the states are all too familiar with. Here's the gist of it: Digital Journal, British Government Set To Crack Down On Psychic CommunityAs reported in the Guardian: "If the Consumer Protection Regulations are approved by Parliament, as is likely...the regulations will come into force on 26 May. They will ban 31 types of unfair sales practice outright, including bogus closing-down sales, prize-draw scams and aggressive doorstep selling, and will for the first time establish a catch-all duty not t...

Appeasement is a Mental Illness
2008-05-14 04:03:00
Who called me chicken?Photo by: mselderhuisArthur Neville Chamberlain was 68 years old when he became Prime Minister of Britain in 1937. Like many who had lived through the horrific years of the Great War, Chamberlain would do anything to avoid going to war again which explains why he bent over backwards for Hitler and took it up the wazoo. In his defense, I should mention that I am now beginning to think that conciliatory cowardice is a mental illness that afflicts old men who have lived through a previous war. This may explain why John Murtha is a cowardly defeatist. Anyone who wants us out of Iraq precisely because he thinks that negotiation and appeasement will work better against our Muslim enemies than a whack over the head has to be mentally ill. What is it about these old farts that turns them into drooling, sniveling, servile knee-bucklers?

Ethanol: the Inconvenient Truth
2008-05-12 21:07:00
ethanol powered carPhoto by: homedad33Contrary to all the hype we now know that Ethanol is not the liquid filling the cup of the Holy Grail: it requires massive subsidies (In 2005 alone corn subsidies totaled $9.4 billion); it will never displace any significant amount of imported oil; it has a deleterious effect on air quality; and it's the major cause of the rise in food prices [George Edward Loper]. The subsidy process, aside from money, requires tremendous legislative efforts: acording to Global Subsidies Initiative [PDF] there are now in place hundreds of programs to subsidize nearly every stage of the ethanol and biodiesel supply chains. The National Biodiesel Board, for example, notes that it is tracking more than 160 pieces of legislation at the state level for biodiesel alone. It is not only air quality that suffers:Madville Times, 7 Dec 2007, Ethanol Pros and Cons: Energy Independence, But Poison BurgersOne of the great side-benefits of turning corn into ethanol is t...

Photo - Pepsi Mentioned in the Bible
2008-05-10 23:48:00
Seeing is believing. In my previous post PEPSI Stands for "Pay Every Pence to Save Israel", I reported that Islamic scientists made the startling discovery that the hidden meaning behind the letters forming the name PEPSI is Pay Every Pence to Save Israel. Now comes visual proof from reader and photo-blogger Edward Cropper from his article Such A Drink I've Never Tasted whose work I reproduce below with his kind permission.

Substitute Jews for Muslims to show your bigotry
2008-05-10 05:26:00
Hate them Jews !Photo by: Great BeyondIt happens all the time. I'll write, "Muslims are a threat to civilization," or "We should deport all Muslims," and some intellectual giant will comment, "Just substitute Jews in place of Muslims and you'll see how your remarks are no different than those of anti-Semites." I suppose when I swap the words I am expected to admit that the sentiments expressed are no different than Hitler's. There is a difference. A big difference. Hitler knew Jews were not dangerous when he said that Jews were a threat and so all Jews should be deported. His purpose in making those allegations was to create a bogeyman in order to establish, consolidate, and increase his political power in Germany. If the number of Chinese in Germany were as large as the number of Jews he would have said exactly the same thing about the Chinese. He was no more anti-Semitic than I am. Jews did not attack German citizens, did not plot to create a world Rabbinate, and could ...

Americans Deserve to Consume More Resources
2008-05-10 00:16:00
Maybe if Our National Anthemwas "America the Beautiful..."Photo by: TW CollinsIn nature, the entity that supplies most of the benefit to a community gets most of the resources. Let's take the example of the Queen Bee. A queen develops from the same egg or larva as any other bee; the only difference is that she gets vastly greater amounts of royal jelly than the average worker honey bee. Because of this the queen develops into a sexually mature female. It is the Queen Bee that ensures the survival of the hive and despite the communist misconception that it is the workers that contribute the most to society, nature itself makes the value judgment by allocating the greatest resources to whom she considers the most important. Of course, worker bees never complain that her Highness is only one bee yet consumes a greater proportion of resources than the rest of the hive. They know she deserves it. Since I was a child I have heard, read, and seen reports about how much o...

Gaza headmaster was Blank Blank rocket-maker
2008-05-08 00:13:00
I would like to report the following news to you, my dear readers, using the new protocol suggested by our government in referring to terror groups. That is, to avoid referring to al-Qaida and other terrorist groups as Islamic or Muslim, and not to use terms like jihad or mujaheddin. Basically, we should avoid using terms that we in the West consider to have negative connotations when they, the , consider those terms in a positive light. Normally, I view censor bars as silly devices that attempt to mask the truth but end up in fact revealing more than they hide. In the following case we may in fact see the truth more plainly through their use. So here is an article from Reuters that might interest those of you that follow the activities of UNRWA in Israel: EXCLUSIVE-Gaza headmaster was "rocket-maker"By day, Awad al-Qiq was a respected science teacher and headmaster at a United Nations school in the Gaza Strip.

PEPSI Stands for "Pay Every Pence to Save Israel"
2008-05-07 10:20:00
First let me give you the Zionist lie, the cover story that even Wikipedia repeats for general consumption as to how Pepsi Cola started: Before Pepsi was Pepsi it was called "Brad's drink" and was first made in New Bern, North Carolina, in the United States in 1893 by pharmacist Caleb Bradham. A few years later, a soft drink competitor from Newark, New Jersey marketed a drink called "Pep Cola" but went bankrupt in 1898 at which time Caleb bought the trade name for $100 and renamed his drink "Pepsi Cola." That's the official story. Now I will reveal to you the truth as discovered by Islamic scientists. I know what you are going to say, Islam with over 1.5 billion adherents has only produced 2 scientists who are Nobel Laureates, so why are Muslims wasting time looking for the secret origins of Pepsi? I'll tell you why: because Pepsi is in actual fact a Zionist front. If you don't believe me, listen to Salem Salamah, a HAMAS Member of Parliament who, without revealing the ...

When should children leave home?
2008-05-06 23:46:00
Poster: Paramount PicturesAlthough I enjoyed Failure to Launch (2006), I disagreed with the premise of the movie that there is something wrong with a thirty-something child who does not want to leave home. Children Should live with parents until they die. That's right; until they (the parents) die. The trouble with American kids and here I speak of 20 and 30 year olds, is that the moment they graduate high school, get a job, or meet their 'true love,' they want to flee the nest. On this forum the question was asked, "What is the average age to move out?" and 66% responded with 20 years old or less with many posters suggesting that even 17 or 18 is a good age to leave home. In Italy, eight out of 10 Italians aged under 30 still live at home, and the average age for moving out is 36: Annotico Report, 7 Oct 2007, Italy's Mamma's Boys Given Cash to Fly Nest"Let's get these big babies out of the house," said Mr Padoa-Schioppa, who left home himself at the age of 19 to work in ...

Is there any country worse than Israel?

The Queen of HeartsPhoto by: Halloween SceneThe year was 1951 and I was only a few months past my 6th birthday when I fell in love with Disney's animated feature Alice in Wonderland. The previous year I had seen my first Disney film, Cinderella, and I thought that was the best thing I had ever seen in my 6 years of life, but now this Alice - this was mesmerizing. The lunacy of Wonderland was intoxicating with characters and scenes popping up here and there with no sense or reason; I shivered as Alice struggled through the menacing forest; I couldn't take my ears off the mentholated purring of the Cheshire Cat; I strained to decipher the gibble-gabble of the Mad Hatter and his friends; I was a thrall to my seat throughout the film. One thing that children are most sensitive to is the unfairness of adults. We want to stay up all night but mom says no. We want to eat ice cream and push away the broccoli but dad says we can only get to enjoy ice cream after we clean the plate....

Muslim Nobel Prize Winner Ahmed Hassan Zewail
2008-05-05 10:46:00
Two years ago I noted that hundreds of blogs and websites mistakenly offer up the statistic that there are 10 or 11 Muslim Nobel Prize Laureates. Excluding the Nobel Peace Prize which does not reward intellectual achievement (after all, Yasser Arafat got one) I wrote that there were only three Muslims (out of 1.5 billion) who have won Nobel Prize s. Two in Science (Abdus Salam, and Ahmed Zewail) and one in Literature (Naguib Mahfouz). Seven months after I wrote that article I should have updated the total to 4. So please add Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk, who won the 2006 Nobel Prize in Literature. Pamuk, it should be mentioned, is hardly a Muslim having been brought up in a secular, westernized family. He is what I call a MINO, a Muslim in Name only. Another MINO is Ahmed Zewail, a most busy scientist to whom many Muslim websites like to proudly point as an example that a Muslim can indeed achieve scientific success. However, Zewail himself has written that one of the barrier...

Photo: sexual discrimination rears its ugly head
2008-05-05 00:30:00
In my article Muslim Lies I laughed at the absurd statement of Amr Khaled, a Muslim televangelist in the UK, who wrote: "In Islam, women are equal to men in all senses, in front of God and the law." Of course, anyone who reads blogs other than The Daily Kos knows that women under Islamic law only have half the equality of men. A women who is raped needs 8 female witnesses to 4 male witnesses. A reader left a comment calling me "a biased fool." Perhaps he's right; perhaps I have overlooked discrimination of women in my own backyard. So I searched the Internet to see if there are public places in America, infidel places, that do indeed treat women differently than men. What is more non-Muslim than a pub, I thought to myself; what I found was quite disturbing: Sexual discrimination in America; will it never end? Related: There are a number of Bar Supply companies that sell the sign, further promoting this disgusting treatment of women. Sadly, I do not make a commissi...

Philly Cop Killed: Time to Ban the Burqa
2008-05-04 17:55:00
Suppose we lived in a world where there was a religion that required the faithful to carry an AK-47 in public similar to the Sikh wearing of daggers (known as kirpans); would we bend over backwards to accommodate that religion even at the peril of our lives? It happens with Islam. The weapon: a mask to thwart identification and evade capture. In Islam the masks are called niqab and burqa. Yesterday, the Gateway Pundit told us that Burka-Clad Bank Robbers Killed a Policeman in Philadelphia. We so cower before Muslim intimidation that we allow women, or it could be men, to cover themselves from head to toe in disguise. Muslim apologists will argue that allowing someone to wear a Burqa is not the same as allowing them to carry an AK-47. Actually it is, since one would have no problem entering a bank with an AK-47 hidden under that garment. One of the disadvantages from openly carrying a weapon into a bank is that one can be spotted from the outside and the police can be alerte...

The French Baby Boom - A Bomb waiting to Explode
2008-05-03 18:14:00
France956 (Grande Mosquée de Paris) Photo by: tehelkaThe Website EURSOC (News and Comment from Europe) noted in its article Baby Boom A La Française that France now has the highest fertility rate in the European Union and that it is estimated that the current trend will increase the population of France from 60.7 million today to 70 million by 2050. That extra 10 million may sound nice, but as I warned in The Sunset of Christianity, "Muslims within Europe have a birthrate twice that of Christians." The EURSOC article itself points out that "French families have a birth rate of 1.8 (still very high, for Europe); for North African women the figure is 3.25, for African 4.07, for Turks 3.35, And Asians 2.83." If I told you that the bare replacement rate is 2.0, then you shouldn't need a degree in statistics to realize that the 10 million increase in population will not be in French families. By 2050 France will not be a country filled with French but by Muslims who won't even b...

How to Make time to read the Quran
2008-05-01 23:41:00
I read a book a few hours every day. I also love movies and watch at least two or three hours of classic Hollywood films every day. It often happens that I am asked by those who know me, how I have the time to spend so much time on entertainment, attend to my telecom business, blog 8 hours a day and still have time to read the Quran . I have a secret which I will share with you now: Photo Credit: Doctor Bulldog & Ronin My father told me long ago, that one of the reasons that many religious Jews can speak a number of languages and are mavens in so many non-religious disciplines is because of the Rabbinic suggestion that in order to prevent thinking about G-d or entertaining Holy Thoughts while on the toilet, one should bring a book on languages or mathematics or some other difficult subject and so keep the mind focused on something other than G-d. He explained that after a few years of so diverting one's thoughts from religious matters it was natural that Jews would ex...

So I see this billboard: Need Help?Flickr Photo by: planck's constant. So out of curiosity I did. A Mexican showed up with a tow truck. Actually, Jesus is the 6th most popular Hispanic name (the 73rd most popular in the whole USA 2005) with Jose the number one Hispanic name for boys (Maria is numero uno for girls). The trend seems to be that Hispanics are using the more Spanish version of a name for their children, Maria being more popular than Mary among Hispanics [Social Security Administration]. In fact the 4th most popular girl's name in 2006 was Isabella, would you believe? Jose is the 30th most popular name in this country; Interestingly, Mohammed has been losing ground as a popular boy's name these past ten years:

Obama and his dangerous religion
2008-02-05 20:45:00
I would prefer that Obama were a Muslim rather than a member of the the overly racist Trinity United Church of Christ. At least then the general population would have some misgivings about his loyalty to the United States. But as a seemingly normal Christian, he will be viewed as quite safe by the the vast majority of clueless Americans. Fortunately we are alerted to the dangers of this specific Christian denomination: Faultline USA, Obama’s Afro-Centric Church: A Non-Negotiable Commitment to AfricaHere are the words posted on Obama’s church web page: We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black . . .

Coppertone adFlickr Photo by: sensaikenji.My mother loved the beach and her favorite was "The Riviera of New York" or as the maps called it, Orchard Beach. The most popular part of Pelham Bay Park, its 1.1 miles of sandy shore was created on Long Island Sound by Parks Commissioner Robert Moses during the 1930s. In the summer of 1951 I was only six years old so my mother naturally took me with her into the women's locker room to change. I didn't go into the men's lockers because my father never, ever went to the beach. Never. Needless to say, at my young age none of the women even noticed me when they also disrobed all around me and although I enjoyed looking at them I didn't know why. It wasn't until I was about 10 that my mother finally made me go to the men's locker to change alone. It might have been because at that age I began drooling in the locker room. The most popular lotion in those days was Coppertone which at that time was mostly scented cocoa butter and did ...

The World Deserves Obama
2008-02-03 20:45:00
In 1968 I visited some very distant relatives in Paris, France; third cousins once removed, that is to say my father shared the same great-great-grandparents but not the same great-grandparents. The daughter was a stunning, tiny young woman with deep purple nails and dressed in the manner much like today's Gothic Lifestyle minus the piercings. Her brother was a Communist which was not unusual for young French teens whose parents were rather wealthy. We have similar morons in America today, usually well-off Hollywood types who have no clue what made their wealth possible or young Liberals whose parents made it under "evil" Capitalism. There are even billionaires who still do not understand how Capitalism works. It was the year of student riots and strikes all over America and Europe; Paris also had them with a vengeance in 1968. At one point, in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower a mob of students were taunting a cordon of Gendarmes when one of the officers noticed me clicking awa...

Muslim Women are Not Second Class Citizens

Just a few days ago Al-Qaida was using children as suicide bombers in Iraq [Times of India] and today we read that two mentally disabled women (possibly unwitting suicide bombers) strapped with remote-control explosives killed at least 91 people in the deadliest day since the surge started last spring [CNN]. Leftists will point to the attack and say,"See the surge is not working!" completely ignoring the fact that the terrorists are quickly running out of male shahadist volunteers in a country filled with more than 14 million men. The surge is working my dear deluded liberal friend, but since that bodes well for George Bush, your brain clouds your eyes from seeing that clearly. I would also like to answer all my Muslim readers who continually protest that women are not treated like cattle in Islam.

For the over-50s the effect is even more marked, with the average of seven couplings a month falling to just 1.5 times. The study found certain programmes are far more likely to impede passion than others. Violent films will put a stop to sexual relations for half of all couples, while reality shows stem passion for a third of couples. Well,...

New Jersey, with 1,590,225 goombahs, has the second largest number of Italian s in the nation. As a child growing up in Bayonne, New Jersey, I once thought the entire country was filled with Italian Catholics. Indeed, most of the residents in my town trace their ancestry from three of the most Catholic countries in Europe. It wasn't until the fifth grade [1953] that I learned that the US was over 80% Protestant. It was also during the fifth grade that my friend Augie taught me how to count in Italian and in return I taught him to count in Polish. I got the better of the deal since I actually got to use some Italian later in life while I doubt Augie had much occasion to use Polish numbers at all. I'd like to digress for a moment to note that Protestants fell below 50% recently and are now in a minority position for the first time since American Independence. One of the rewards of following the Protestant Ethic is financial success which leads directly to having fewer children...

In 1968 my brother and I toured Europe, see my previous posts on that topic here, and one of the ways we paid for the trip was to sell products in the Iron Curtain countries. For example we brought Levis, stockings, sweaters, and Playboy Magazines. My mother told me that Bic pens were very poplar in Poland since the locally made pens leaked and were, to be frank, just crap compared to Western-manufactured products. A small amount of research informed us that we could pick up the pens rather cheaply at one of their factory outlets in Belgium. We picked up over a thousand Bic pens for less than 4 cents a piece and sold them in Poland for about a buck a pop. We only had to pick some busy-looking corner in any Polish city, park the car, open the front hood to display our wares and within minutes we were surrounded by eager Polish shoppers. One time we saw a cop coming over and my brother and I thought we were busted. But he only asked if we had Levis in his size. Normally we woul...
