OOPSI ! Iran struggling with U.S.-backed insurgencies in its western border areas

NICOSIA — Iran appears frustrated over the Arab and Kurdish insurgency in the western part of the country.

Officials said Teheran has failed to quell the insurgency in both northwestern and southwestern Iran, along the Iraqi border. They said Arab and Kurdish separatists, financed by Britain and the United States, have maintained a stream of attacks against Iranian government targets in the region.

"There has been a proliferation of conspiracies," said Iranian deputy parliamentary speaker Mohammed Reza Bahonar.

[On early May 24, protests erupted in Teheran's two major universities, followed by clashes between students and police. About 40 officers were injured by stones hurled by students from Teheran University protesting the dismissal of professors.]

Bahonar said the government has lost control over the provinces along both the Iraqi and Afghan border. He said parliament could transfer security for these provinces to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

"It has been almost proven that security actions alone cannot solve the problems," Bahonar said. "There should be a combination of security and intelligence work, and the disciplinary force of the country should use its capabilities to the best advantage."

Teheran has blamed the United States and its allies for fomenting unrest along Iran's borders. Iran has several large minorities, including Azeris in the north, Kurds and Arabs in the west and ethnic Afghans in the east.

In the east, Teheran has sought to block the flow of heroin from Afghanistan, which has helped create a huge drug problem in Iran. Al Qaida has also used the drug route.

Officials said the Supreme National Security Council would soon explore the use of the IRGC and Basij in border areas. The Basij has already been trained for border security.

Iran's navy developing swarm strategy against U.S. warships

From Gertz, excerpted

The Iran navy has procured hundreds of fast patrol boats as part of what is believed to be a swarm strategy to overcome the firepower of U.S. cruisers and destroyers.

Gulf analysts said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has deployed and trained hundreds of FPBs in the northern Gulf to surround and attack U.S. and Western warships. The analysts said the Iranian concept is to overcome U.S. firepower superiority with the stealth and speed of small patrol boats.

"We are talking about a new sort of warfare that could work or not," a Gulf Arab analyst said. "It's never been really tried."

Under the purported Iranian concept, the FPBs would be armed with torpedoes and rockets that could be quickly fired from short range. The analysts said the radars of U.S. destroyers would be unable to detect small Iranian speedboats in the northern Gulf.

These boats could be filled with explosives and rammed into U.S. surface vessels, the analysts said. They cited the success of an Al Qaida attack that crippled the USS Cole in Yemen in 2000.

Over the past six weeks, the Iranian navy conducted two exercises in the northern Gulf designed to test the swarm strategy. The analysts could not assess the results of the exercises.

Still, the U.S. Navy has been preparing for such an Iranian swarm assault. In 2002, the Navy held an exercise called Millennium Challenge in which a swarm of fast boats sought to destroy a U.S. fleet.

Jimmy Carter Declares War On America

When he gets into this position, he feels as if he is thinking.

Well, no, he has not come right out and said it, but, he pals around with the family of Osama Bin Laden:


Former President Jimmy Carter's center in Atlanta received more than $1 million from the family of Osama bin Laden, according to an investigative report.

A brother of the al-Qaida terrorist leader, Bakr M. bin Laden, funneled the money to the Carter Center in Atlanta through the Saudi Bin Laden Group, according to Melanie Morgan, chairman of a group opposing the Georgia Democrat called the Censure Carter Committee.

Morgan, a WorldNetDaily columnist, based her claim on papers she acquired from the Carter Center.

She points to a report showing Carter met with 10 of Osama bin Laden's brothers early in 2000. The former president and his wife, Rosalyn, followed up the meeting with a breakfast with Bakr bin Laden in September 2000 and secured the first $200,000 towards the more than $1 million that has gone to the Carter Center.

Morgan says the connection between Carter and the bin Laden family is exactly the kind of charge leveled by Michael Moore against President Bush in the film "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Morgan's group commented in a statement: "If you think this news troubles Michael Moore and his friends in the liberal, anti-war crowd, think again. You see, they’re not interested in the truth – they only seem interested in advancing their defeatist political message: America is almost always wrong–America is the source of many of the world’s problems."

There's some hypocrisy at work here, Morgan contends.

"Michael Moore used his film to viciously attack George W. Bush and undermine support for the war on terror," she told John Gibson on the Fox News Channel.

It turns out it was Carter, not Bush, hanging out with the bin Ladens, she said.

The Carters hosted Moore in the presidential viewing box at the 2004 Democratic National Convention while former President Bill Clinton addressed the delegates.

Gibson said the Carter Center declined the opportunity to respond to the charges.

Censure Carter is about to launch a second wave of national television ads urging Americans to rebuke Carter's efforts in North Korea, Iraq, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba and elsewhere.

"The mainstream media is pretending that the Carter-bin Laden story is a non-issue, so the Censure Carter Campaign is out raising the money to air the facts in TV ads," the group says.


Yesterday, on CUANAS, I posted an excerpt from an article by columnist Julia Gorin which documented Carter's history of anti-Semitism. Considering this is the way he feels, it ought to be no surprise that, in the year 2000, he would pal around with the family of the man who declared war on America in 1996, and who has made it clear that his mission is to kill Infidels and Jews.

Sisters Of Hamas Leader Live Secretly In Israel

Gee, don't you wonder why they have chosen to NOT live in the Peaceful State Of Palestine?


Israel regards Ismail Haniyeh, the Palestinian Hamas prime minister, as an enemy of state. But three of his sisters enjoy full Israeli citizenship, having moved 30 years ago to the desert town of Tel Sheva.

Some of their offspring have even served in the Israeli army, the force responsible for decades of Israeli occupation in Gaza and the West Bank, an occupation that the Islamist movement, Hamas, was founded to fight.

The Daily Telegraph tracked down the Haniyeh sisters, --------, ----- and -----, to a town in southern Israel. That they live in Israel is a closely guarded secret and nowhere is it guarded more secretly than Tel Sheva, a town inhabited mainly by Israeli Bedouin on the edge of the Negev desert.


Yes, it was a closely guarded secret, until the Telegraph published the names of the sisters so Imams all over the world would know who to issue Fatwas on.

Stuff That Seems To Be OK With Barbara Schuddenboom

Here's a little report on Saudi Arabian textbooks, based upon the research of Ali Ahmed of the Insitute for Gulf Affairs:


Nearly four years ago, Saudi dissident Ali al-Ahmed and author Stephen Schwartz conducted a study for the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. They examined textbooks and other publications distributed by the Saudi government and by Saudi-funded organizations. They found such messages as these:

“Judaism and Christianity are deviant religions.”

“The unbelievers, idolaters and others like them must be hated and despised.”

“We say to every Christian and every Jew and all those outside Islam, ‘your children are born into Islam, but you and their mother take them away from Islam with your corrupt rearing.'”

Since then, Saudi spokesmen, assisted by high-priced Washington public relations professionals, have claimed that such intolerant views were no longer being promoted by the rulers of Arabia.

Saudi advisor Adel al-Jubeir -- recently awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters by the University of North Texas – stated last year: “We have reviewed our educational curriculums. We have removed materials that are inciteful (sic) or intolerant towards people of other faiths.”

Prince Turki al-Faisal, the new Saudi ambassador to the United States, said recently: “Not only have we eliminated what might be perceived as intolerance from old textbooks that were in our system, we have implemented a comprehensive internal revision and moderation plan.”

But these spokesmen are misinformed. Ali al-Ahmed, now head of the Washington-based Institute for Gulf Affairs, obtained a dozen textbooks used during the current academic year by the Saudi Ministry of Education. He turned them over to Freedom House which then had the materials translated by two independent Arabic speakers. Among the messages included:

“The apes are Jews, the people of the Sabbath; while the swine are the Christians, the infidels of the communion of Jesus.”

“The clash between this [Muslim] community and the Jews and Christians has endured, and it will continue as long as God wills.”

“Whoever obeys the Prophet and accepts the oneness of God cannot maintain a loyal friendship with those who oppose God and His Prophet, even if they are his closest relatives.”

“This indoctrination,” wrote Nina Shea, director of Freedom House's Center for Religious Freedom, “begins in a first-grade text and is reinforced and expanded each year. By the 12th grade, students following the Saudi curriculum will be instructed that their religious obligation includes waging jihad against the infidel to ‘spread the faith.'”

What's more, such ideas are being taught not only to Saudi students but also to children in Saudi-funded schools in Pakistan, Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Italy – and the United States as well.


A year back, Freedom House's Center for Religious Freedom did a study of literature in American Mosques:


The 89-page report, “Saudi Publications on Hate Ideology Fill American Mosques,” is based on a year-long study of over two hundred original documents, all disseminated, published or otherwise generated by the government of Saudi Arabia and collected from more than a dozen mosques in the United States.

The report is available on the Freedom House website at: http://freedomhouse.org/religion/

The propagation of hate ideology by Saudi Arabia is known to be worldwide, but its occurrence within the United States has received scant attention until now. Within worldwide Sunni Islam, followers of Saudi Arabia’s extremist Wahhabi ideology are a distinct minority, as is evident by the millions of Muslims who have chosen to make America their home and are upstanding, law-abiding citizens and neighbors.

The report concludes that the Saudi government propaganda examined reflects a “totalitarian ideology of hatred that can incite to violence,” and the fact that it is “being mainstreamed within our borders through the efforts of a foreign government, namely Saudi Arabia, demands our urgent attention.” The report finds: “Not only does the government of Saudi Arabia not have a right – under the First Amendment or any other legal document – to spread hate ideology within U.S. borders, it is committing a human rights violation by doing so.”

Such publications that “advocate an ideology of hatred have no place in a nation founded on religious freedom and toleration,” write James Woolsey, chairman of the board of Freedom House, in the foreword to the report.

Among the key findings of the report:

• Various Saudi government publications gathered for this study, most of which are in Arabic, assert that it is a religious obligation for Muslims to hate Christians and Jews and warn against imitating, befriending, or helping them in any way, or taking part in their festivities and celebrations;

• The documents promote contempt for the United States because it is ruled by legislated civil law rather than by totalitarian Wahhabi-style Islamic law. They condemn democracy as un-Islamic;

• The documents stress that when Muslims are in the lands of the unbelievers, they must behave as if on a mission behind enemy lines. Either they are there to acquire new knowledge and make money to be later employed in the jihad against the infidels, or they are there to proselytize the infidels until at least some convert to Islam. Any other reason for lingering among the unbelievers in their lands is illegitimate,

• For a Muslim who fails to uphold the Saudi Wahhabi sect’s sexual mores (i.e. through homosexual activity or heterosexual activity outside of marriage), the edicts published by the Saudi government’s Ministry of Islamic Affairs, and found in American mosques advise, “it would be lawful for Muslims to spill his blood and to take his money;”

• Regarding those who convert out of Islam, the Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs explicitly asserts, they “should be killed;”

• Saudi textbooks and other publications in the collection, propagate a Nazi-like hatred for Jews, treat the forged Protocols of the Elders of Zion as historical fact, and avow that the Muslim’s duty is to eliminate the state of Israel;

• Regarding women, the Saudi publications instruct that they should be veiled, segregated from men and barred from certain employment and roles ...


In the actual body of the report, it is asserted that, according to King Fahd, Saudi Arabia has funded more than 1,500 Mosques, 200 Universities, and 2,000 schools for educating children in the United States alone.

I called up Ali Ahmed, of the Institute for Gulf Affairs, identified myself as Pastorius the blogger, and asked him if, in his opinion, this literature is still in American Schools and Mosques to this day. His response was,

"Yes. In fact, you can call the Saudi Embassy and ask them to send you iformation on Islam, and they will freely send such literature. The phone number is 202-342-3800."

I asked Mr. al-Ahmed if American Muslims agree with such literature. He indicated that most don't, but added, "The problem is they will not stand up against it. I do not stand for shutting anyone up. But, when it is government sponsored, we need to act against it. Our world will not be able to live in peace if such things are tolerated. We need to go beyond tolerance to take right action against this kind of thing."

Ali al-Ahmed put it as well as I could have.

The fact is, there is no major Muslim organization working against such hatred. Ali al-Ahmed's Institute is a lobbying organization, based in Washington D.C., concerned with international affairs. As such he does good work, but the work he does does not reach down to the common Muslim.

Some organization needs to be formed which speaks for average Muslims, and which will stand up and speak out against this kind of evil. Until this happens, the distrust among Infidels will increase. At a certain point, this distrust will build and become dangerous.

I suggest that Muslims get together and invited us Christians, Jews, etc., down to their Mosques on a Saturday afternoon for a day of clearing out the hate literature. We can pack up the crap, put it in the trunks of our cars and haul it down to the local recycling plant.

A simple step such as this could reap huge dividends for the Muslim community.

Man Shot in MI5 & Police Anti-Terrorism Raid in London

A man has been shot by police during a raid involving 250 officers carried out under the Terrorism Act. He was taken to a nearby hospital after police searched a house in Forest Gate, east London. His injuries are not life-threatening.

The decision to launch the raid followed discussions between MI5, the anti-terrorist branch and the Health Protection Agency. Residents said Forest Gate was a typical east London "mixed" community with a large number of Bengali and Pakistani families, along with a recent influx of Eastern Europeans.

One neighbour said the operation early this morning had involved "the most police I've seen in my life". Another neighbour said a family lived at the address. "They were respectable and nice people and we do not know anything else. They have always been nice to us," she said.

Always decent, good people. Like this "peaceful" Australian jihadist

"They have lived there for a long time. The kids all go to school locally."

That's because they're all assimilated, bruv.

UPDATE: A 5 mile air exclusion zone is in force according to the BBC video feed

UPDATE 2: From Sky news

Dimple Hirani, 21, a student at London Metropolitan University, said she might have gone to school with one of the teenage boys from the family.

I went to that University! I quit early from my degree due to the number of Bin Laden supporters, support for the 9/11 attacks and opposition to the war on the Taliban.

She said: "If it's the house I'm thinking of, I went to school with one of the lads. They were really nice lads and really nice people. I never thought anything of it. Lots of young Muslims these days are getting more religious, especially after 9/11. It's nothing to be suspicious about."

Some Knew Bush was an Open Borders Anarchist in 2000

Lawrence Auster has a right on target assessment of Bush in 2000 in his September 2000 article "My Bush Ephiphany." Now as we contemplate the insane Senate "Destroy America" Immigration Bill, we can look back at Larry's article and say, 'the clues were all there, why didn't we see this liberal Democrat in Republican drag?'

My Bush epiphany

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted: September 20, 2000
1:00 a.m. Eastern


By Lawrence Auster
© 2000 WorldNetDaily.com


A few weeks before he was nominated as the Republican candidate for president of the United States, I happened to see Bob Dole being interviewed on TV. As I watched, everything I knew about Dole came to mind -- the love for big government that he had unembarrassedly revealed in his Senate retirement speech a few days earlier, the constant hints and sardonic asides by which he distanced himself from conservatives and accommodated himself to liberals, even the way his eyes kept shifting from side to side as he spoke. Suddenly the thought flashed into my mind: "He's not on our side; he's on their side."

....

On the matter of national identity, W. delivered in Miami on Aug. 25 a major address on U.S.-Latin American relations, in which he unveiled a startling -- at least for a Republican -- view of America. We should pay close attention to his words:


We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.
Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.

For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.

Let us be clear that W. is not (as Republican politicians including Reagan have done for decades) celebrating immigrants from diverse backgrounds on the assumption that they are becoming part of our culture and way of life. On the contrary, he is applauding the expansion and the increasingly dominant role of the Hispanic culture and the Spanish language in this country. He is explicitly welcoming the very things that are making America less and less like its historical self and more and more like Latin America.

To repeat, this is not the usual establishment conservative line of "immigration with assimilation." This is multiculturalism, the view of America as a collection of unassimilated yet "equal" cultures in which our former national culture will be progressively downgraded and marginalized.

Also surprising is W.'s claim that Republicans have "made a choice to welcome the new America." Did Republicans realize that by nominating W. they were not only committing themselves to a pro-multicultural candidate, but shutting down all debate on the issue?

Complementing W.'s support for the Hispanicization of American culture was his view of Mexico-U.S. relations:


I have a vision for our two countries. The United States is destined to have a "special relationship" with Mexico, as clear and strong as we have had with Canada and Great Britain. Historically, we have had no closer friends and allies. ... Our ties of history and heritage with Mexico are just as deep.
In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on.

We share none of those things with Mexico, which, along with the rest of Latin America, constitutes a cultural region quite distinct from that of the United States and Europe. Everyone, on both the left and the right, has always known this to be so. W., apparently, does not. As he sees it, our mere physical proximity to Mexico is tantamount to cultural commonality with Mexico.

W.'s delusions of cultural similarity don't stop there. "Differences are inevitable" between Mexico and the U.S.," W. continued. "But they will be differences among family, not between rivals."

Coming from the Republican candidate for president of the United States, the statement boggles the mind. It was bad enough when the Democrats in the 1980s started their socialist rant (soon echoed by the Republicans) that Americans are all "one family." But now George W., "The Man from Inclusion," has taken the "family" idea several steps further. For W., it is not just the United States, but the United States and Mexico, and ultimately the United States and the whole of the Americas, that constitutes one "family."

With this thoughtless cliché, W. is moving in symbolic terms toward the goal that Mexico's newly elected president Vicente Fox is calling for in concrete terms: the opening of the U.S.-Mexican border. After all, who would want to maintain national borders and high-tech barriers between members of the same family? Within a family there is unconditional support, mutual obligation, and the sense of a shared destiny -- not armed patrols and checkpoints.

Whether or not W. himself understands the logical implications of his "family" rhetoric, its political consequence if he becomes president will be the same -- the further delegitimization of our borders and our national sovereignty.

All of which leads up to the question: Why is he doing this? Most conservatives had accepted, if without enthusiasm, the pragmatic need for W. and other Republicans to project a warm and "inclusive" image, conspicuously embracing minorities and so on. But by no reasonable calculation did that require W. to embrace multiculturalism, any more than the need to avoid "negative attacks" on his Democratic opponent required him to praise Reno's cover-up of Gore.

Since his adoption of a multicultural vision of America makes no sense in political terms (indeed, it would tend to alienate his own base), the only explanation is that W. really believes in it. Watching his speech in Miami, you couldn't help but feel that W. is genuinely moved by this "We're all one family" sentiment. It is as central to his heart (about which he is always telling us) as the love of big government is to Bob Dole's.

Ahmadenijad's DNA

I have been remiss in not reposting this here!

I noticed that Hyscience had linked to my scholarly debate of whether Ahmadinejad is a chimp or an ape.

On a related thread at Israellycool, someone named Woland pointed out this great picture that sheds light on this important topic:

They have no shame.

IslamOnline published an article entitled Muslims in Greater Europe. In and of itself it's a rather bland feel-good bit of half-taqeeya, though maybe a tad to triumphalistic about the near future. This snippet sent me high up in the curtains:

The charting of any vision for the future should take into consideration the reality on the ground. For example, for Spanish Muslims, who have gone a long way towards establishing their presence as an integral part of society and achieved tangible successes in various sectors including education, legislation, and culture, the March 11, 2004, terrorist attacks in Madrid could have undermined all that had been achieved by the Muslims, due to the misdirected political, security and media campaigns initiated in reaction to the event.

Ah, that's where we misunderstood eachother! Muslim credibility was not in the least diminished by those miscreants that blew themselves up in commuter trains in Madrid under the assumption they were the most devout among the worshippers of the Big Black Stone Idol. It was the political, security and media reactions, nay campaigns, nay misdirected campaigns (drumroll and brass fanfare, maestro, if you please) in the wake of those slaughters.

Oh and in response to this:

In the past, European Muslims were viewed as foreigners, alien to society. This, however, is no longer the case, as the vast majority of Muslims are either of European descent, descendents of immigrants, or are themselves immigrants who arrived a few decades ago. They are part and parcel of European society. If Muslims are peculiar by virtue of their religion, then this applies to all religious groups, including Catholics, Protestants, Zoroastrians, Buddhist and others.

Allow me to respond in the following, slightly irritated manner:

No, you cultural relativist nincompoop. If Muslims are peculiar by virtue of their religion, it is because their religion apparently instructs them to burn cars and embassies, to blow up trains and buses filled with ordinary people going about their ordinary businesses, to kill and threaten any and all that are the slightest bit crictical of said religion and the one calling himself the last prophet. Stop with the constant threatening, lying and degrading of anyone not muslim and you will find you will be considered a damn sight less peculiar and hell, maybe even friendly. The reason those others you mention are considered not nearly as peculiar as are Muslims is because those others are or have learned to adapt to the presence of other faiths and cultures.

Anyway, read the whole thing. It is a great example of how 'moderate' muslims actually don't differ that much from their less moderate, more bloodshed oriented co-religionists.

Addressing Grievances Of British Muslims

The following is a clip from the Phil Hendrie radio show. After you listen to/watch the clip make sure you check the first comment [thanks to Daniel for reminding me about this video] :

He Walks in Dark Places

"Achilles absent was Achilles still."

We go into our 20th meeting this evening in Vancouver, Canada, this evening at 7:00 pm at Vancouver Public Library to sit in the atrium and discuss our plans to defeat dhimmitude, jihad, and the fascist Left around the world. Where, we wonder, will you be?

Many have come a long way from the privacy of their daily lives and personal concerns to the point that today we spend much our own lives dealing with foreign concerns of religion and politics that we likely would not care to if life were to leave us to our own preferred pursuits. Islam? It bores me to tears. Fascism? I can't stand thinking about it. Socialism? I get frustrated and disgusted hearing the nonsense. Our privacy is invaded, and our publicity demands us to rise up to reclaim it. Our private lives are not our own anymore as they once were. We are drawn into war against our wishes, and now we sit on a far shore awaiting battle. We are actually waiting for you.

Where, Achilles, have you gone?

Ours, though we did not choose it, is a good fight. We are called to battle. Life itself calls us to battle. Our private lives are now part of the whole of our nations and our people. We are called upon.

"The people who walk in darkness will see a great light; those who live in a dark land, the light will shine on them. Thou shalt multiply the nation, Thou shalt increase their gladness; They will be glad in Thy presence as with the gladness of harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. For Thou shalt break the yoke of their shoulders and the staff of their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor, as in the battle of Midian. For every boot of the booted warrior in the battle tumult, and the cloak rolled in blood, will be for burning, as fuel for the fire."

(Isaiah 9: 2-5).

We chatter in the darkness and squat down chewing our knuckles, waiting. We see the light as we sit in the caves of the mind, know it's shining for us, and we hold back. The hero lurks. He walks in dark places.

We have a great thing to do and we will pay a great price for victory. What a blessing we might have for the taking.

"At last is Hector stretch'd upon the plain,
Who fear'd no vengeance for Patroclus slain:
Then, Prince! You should have fear'd, what now you feel;
Achilles absent was Achilles still:
Yet a short space the great avenger stayed,
Then low in dust thy strength and glory laid."

Homer, The Iliad, Bk. 22.

Your absence disturbs us. We meet in public weekly, Thursday evenings, 7-9:00 pm in the library atrium. We assemble for battle. We await you. Call from your camps.

Go now. Go. Go do some great thing.

Israel develops SECOND active defense system

Until recently, the development of Iron Fist was shrouded in secrecy, as it was developed in parallel to a different Israeli developed ADS system - RAFAEL's Trophy, which entered full scale development in 2005. However, due to rapid development pace and successful testing, IMI expects to deliver the first systems for IDF testing and qualifications by mid 2007. Unlike competing systems, IMI's Iron Fist can be installed on light vehicles, including trucks and even Humvees, offering effective protection from RPGs. IMI conducted extensive testing against a full spectrum of threats, engaging various types of threats from stationary and moving armored personnel carriers. The system already demonstrated effective protection of light vehicles and heavy armored vehicles, from small rocket propelled grenades, anti-tank missiles and tank rounds equipped with shaped charge warheads as well as advanced kinetic threats (armor piercing tank rounds).

Two truly fantastic stories .. scrotum tightening stupidity, perfidy, laziness, spoiled americans and shortsightedness

1 ) Maywood, CA Maywood is 96% Latino. Its City Counsel has vowed to make it "a sanctuary city" for those who have illegally invaded our country.

Toward this end, it has eliminated the police department's traffic division, because too many illegals were getting into trouble for driving without licenses. There will be no more sobriety checkpoints or towing of illegally operated vehicles, so as not to inconvenience the aliens.

"No human being is illegal," Councilman Felipe Aguirre righteously proclaimed. He referred to the defense of the USA's territorial sovereignty as "this hypocritical policy."

Some salient facts about what illegal immigration represents in this case...NOT RACE.

In 1970, a majority of the Maywood population was White (assumption is that they did not get here illegally, but for the benefit of the 'critical progressives' we will consider the idea that they may some kind of mafioso, or DOW Chemical napalm engineer war criminals or such)
In 1980, the Hispanic population in Maywood was more than 80%. By 1980, nearly half (49.3 percent) were foreign-born
In 2000, Maywood was 97% Hispanic. More than 55% of its residents are foreign-born. No data is available on the % of illegals among the 55% foreign born in this town 16 miles from Pasadena

Criminals showed up and the citizens LEFT, because the law and order and therefore safety for families and kids was not enforceable because there was no civil will.

Now the police have been ordered not to enforce the law by what well may be the children of the criminals who entered illegally. I don't care if they are latino, chinese, jewish, mongolian, or born in Ouagoudougou.

The word for this process is called

ANARCHY

UPDATE:

Does La Raza Have It's Own LAUSD Charter School?

McIntyre in the Morning has begun an investigation into Academia Semillas del Pueblo, an LAUSD charter school. The website for the K-8 school says it is, "dedicated to providing urban children of immigrant native families an excellent education founded upon their own language, cultural values and global realities." The school's student body is 91.3% hispanic and 8.7% native / alaskan native. There is not a single white, black, or asian student.

The school receives support not only from the tax payer but also the National Council of La Raza and the Pasadena City College chapter of MeCHA (Movimemeniento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan). In various interviews and actions the school's founder, principal and council trustee secretary, Marcos Aguilar, has shown contempt for racial integration. Like everyone else connected to the school, Aguilar has refused repeated attempts by McIntyre in the Morning for an interview, telling our reporter he only speaks with spanish speaking media and warning the reporter, "I would be very careful before I came down here."

Reporter Assaulted After Interview And Loses Tape

(CBS) LOS ANGELES A local radio reporter was assaulted Thursday while leaving a Los Angeles charter school that his station has said imparts separatist ethics, a station official said.

The reporter, Sandy Wells, was not hurt, according to station spokesman Steve Sheldon.

Wells was leaving the campus of Academia Semillas Del Pueblo, 4736 Huntington Drive, after interviewing the principal when a car came around the corner, jumped the curb and the driver tried to run him down, Sheldon said.

Wells managed to dodge the car, but the driver, a man who appeared to be in his mid-20s, got out and tackled him, taking away his tape recorder, he said.

The incident was reported to police, Sheldon said, adding that it is believed to be linked to the station's reporting on the school.

The Los Angeles Unified School District said it would issue a statement on the assault later in the day.

OK, Let's recap

Neo-Nazi Becomes Fanatical Muslim

As an earlier post by The Anti-Jihadist pointed out, the Quran and Mein Kampf have a lot in common. So much so that this former neo-Nazi [now Islamonazi] has converted to the "Religion O' Peace" whilst still being able to hold onto his old Nazi ideologies (article is a little old, but very relevant to recent topics) :

David Myatt, 51, was a self-styled "Satanic Fuhrer" who urged his neo-Nazis followers to fight a race war.

But Myatt has now swapped his worship of Adolf Hitler for al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.

His new name is Abdul Aziz ibn Myatt and he argues that Muslims and Aryans share the same common enemy in the Jewish nation and western capitalism.

Myatt's previous publications include 1997 fascist terrorist handbook 'The Practical Guide to Aryan Revolution', which inspired the Brixton nail-bomber David Copeland.

His more recent writings include 'The Crusader War Against Islam and The Zionist Quest for World Domination', and is a regular contributor to chatrooms where he expresses support for suicide missions and urging young Muslims to take up Jihad.

Myatt has even praised the World Trade Center attacks as an act of heroism.

Gerry Gable, from anti-fascist magazine Searchlight, said: "Myatt is an ethereal character who has used numerous aliases to post messages on extremist websites.

"He is a dangerous man who has twice been jailed for his violent right-wing activities and who openly asked for blood to be spilled in the quest for white Aryan domination.

"We believe that despite his claims to be a devout Muslim he remains a deeply intellectual subversive and is still one of the most hardline Nazi intellectuals in Britain today.

"Myatt believes in the disruption of existing societies as a prelude to the creation of a new more warrior-like Aryan society which he calls the Galactic Empire.

"Now he has has simply jumped on the Islamic extremist bandwagon to further his own wish of a society divided on ethnic lines.

"He believes they have common enemies but it is his disillusionment with the ineptitude of the Nazi movement that has led to this most unholy of alliances."

Myatt was a hardline Nazi since the 1960s and Searchlight allege he was even Grand Master of a secret occult sect called the Order of the Nine Angels, which was alleged to have practised human sacrifice.

It is believed that Myatt's sudden conversion to Islam three years ago may be just a political ploy to advance his own failing anti-establishment agenda.

The Sunday Mercury has discovered that Myatt uses several online identities to post both right-wing messages on neo-Nazi sites and to call for the creation of a global Islamic superstate on Islamic forums.

On one site, Aryan Nation, he attempts to reconcile the differences between both extremes under the title Islamic Liaison Group dating his messages with his trademark yf (Year of the Fuhrer). On another , supporting his diatribe with claims that more than 60,000 Muslims joined Hitler's SS in the Second World War.

He also continues to publish newsletters for his own German Nazi-modelled National Socialist Movement (NSM) which counted Copeland as a branch organiser and advocated terrorist insurrection to spark a race war.

On Islamic internet discussion sites he likens the American attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq to the Allied occupation of Hitler's Nazi Germany.

Michael Whine, Chairman of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, told the Mercury: "Myatt has a long history of involvement with Nazi activity and anti-semitism.

"The fact that he has converted to Islam and allied himself with its extremist fringe is in line with the opportunist politics that have seen him dabble in Buddhism and Chinese Taoism in the past. I would advise all Muslims to have nothing to do with this man."

But Sheikh Omar Bakri, leader of the extremist Al Muhajiroun organisation, said: "I am very keen to meet up with him as we both share a lot in common and I am sure he can help the Islamic cause."
