Re: the Ground Zero mosque. A friend wrote to me and said "but I like the notion that in Spain they stopped a mosque from being built on a site by burying a pig on the grounds."
If I still knew some of the wild kids I grew up with 60 miles or so (and 40 years ago) east of NYC, I would suggest getting together with them to do just this thing. Alas, Montana is too far away and I can't afford the trip. I wonder how tight security is right now around there?
How about someone dropping a pig carcass onto the site of the proposed mosque. If it fell from high enough it should splatter blood & guts all over the site.
Islam seems to be a big inkblot in which sociopaths see whatever they most desire. The lazy get the spoils of the productive. The ignorant are praised as pious. The hateful find permission to act on it. Hypocrisy is not only not looked down on, it is MANDATORY. Heck, our government is halfway there already. Bacon grease in a soft drink cup could be spread around without anyone noticing, Rex. Announce it when the thing is half-finished. Eeeww. But remember, the "Magnificent 19" hijackers spent their final night going to a strip club, drinking and probably having a big ol' pork roast. Muslims CHOOSE to be offended when it suits them. Missteps can be canceled out by a suitable act of jihad. Mohammed was a barbarian, but he was a brilliant student of human nature.
Fox news: TEHRAN, Iran — The lawyer for an Iranian woman sentenced to be stoned on an adultery conviction said Monday that he and her children are worried the delayed execution could be carried out soon with the end of a moratorium on death sentences for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
In an unusual turn in the case, the lawyer also confirmed that Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani was lashed 99 times last week in a separate punishment meted out because a British newspaper ran a picture of an unveiled woman mistakenly identified as her.

Mr. Denninger makes a lot of good points. Alas, he is preaching to the choir. People made a big deal when Rahm Emmanuel said this administration would let no crisis go to waste. Yet, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, et. al. did the same thing with the attack on the Twin Towers. It was all they needed to get their war with Iraq and keep the military-industrial complex blooming forever. Historically, it all changed with Lincoln. This country has been sold a bill of goods and the citizens' rights have been trampled into the dust ever since. The wake-up call that should have come after 9/11 did not happen. The only wake-up call this country will get is when the economy implodes. Then, it will be too late to save anything.
Yes, radical Islam is to blame for much violence. And moderate Islam provides the base of belief for the radicals - their scriptures do call for violence, if peaceful means to spread their doctrines fail.
But we're a (fallen) Christian nation, denying our heritage, and the wonderful Heritage of Liberty that is the fruit of a people living out Christian Virtue.
Many now think tolerance is the key - balderdash - living for the Truth is the key !
Americans, as a people, we have been propagandized for so long, have had our Bibles & History Books & Founding Documents mislaid for so long, that we barely know up from down.
How can we do that if we are beguiled by Humanism - by that I mean, "the lie that every man is free to determine his own morality" - can't we see the enemies of Liberty have decided that their Liberty includes the right to steal ours ?
It occurs to me we want to lash out at the Muslims - and I do agree their beliefs are objectively wrong - but we are our own worst enemy. Even Denninger's self-serving disclaimer that anyone who sees inconsistency in the .gov account of 9-11 is FORBIDDEN from mentioning it ?
Boy, I guess we don't need to find Lefties to locate suppression of free speech, eh ? For a fella who suspects the .gov of all kinds of misdeeds to suddenly go 'mainstream' when 9-11 is discussed is wildly inconsistent.
(I do enjoy his blog 95% of the time, anyhow.)
Well, thanks for letting me vent.
Will Americans repent of our willful ignorance of God's Providence in our Founding & preservation since 1620 ?
Will we realize, in time, that anyone who bows before Christ the KING, can stand tall before any enemy ?
Time will tell.....
Thanks for your daily efforts WRSA - you are bringing folks along !
So, according to Denninger, the TRUTH is for "nutters". Who is the NUT, Denninger?
I choose to dig a bit deeper and NOT believe what I was TOLD to see on TV.
No, the muslims will not be our friends, no matter how nice we are to them. It matters not how well we treat them, they are at war with the entire world, not in a spiritual sense but literally. According the muslim doctrine there is the "house of war" and the "house of submission". Within which do you think we live?
Yes, two airplanes were flown into the World Trade Center towers. No steel building anywhere, except the World Trade Center, has EVER collapsed because of fire.
Look at pictures of the Pentagon, after it was hit but before the exterior wall collapsed. There is a hole the size of a two-car garage at ground level. The second floor windows are in-tact. There is NO AIRPLANE WRECKAGE on the lawn of the Pentagon.
WTC 7 came down at five o'clock in the afternoon FOR NO REASON. It was a perfect demolition of the building, which fell in it's own footprint.
Look at EVERY photo you can find of any airliner crash ANYWHERE, and compare it what can be seen at Shanksville, PA., on 9-11. It defies the rational mind.
I propose, Gentlemen, that if you believe the "official version" of events at the WTC, then you are still drinking the kool-aid.
As is his wont, Karl Denninger bluntly draws the full picture.

OK, Longbow:
ReplyDeleteLet's assume the validity of all that you say.
On the individual and small unit/tribe level, what if any changes in tactics/strategy/logistics/communications are indicated by that set of facts?
I submit none.
The "truther" folks had their moment.
I respectfully suggest that that moment has passed and the focus for sober folks s/b on keeping individual freedom alive, even if from exile...
