BREAKING: North Korea Successfully Fires Rocket/Missile

"It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama" -- Joe "The Prophet" Biden said last year on the campaign trail.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates told "Fox News Sunday" last week that the United States is not prepared to respond to a North Korean missile launch. He says we can do nothing to stop North Korea from breaking international law in the next 10 days by firing a missile that is unlikely to be shot down by the U.S. or its allies.

Last weekend, Japan announced it was sending naval ships equipped with missile interceptors to its northern coast in anticipation of North Korea's planned long-range missile test.

Last week, while speaking to reporters during a visit to Mexico City, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned North Korea that firing a missile for any purpose would be a 'provocative act' that would have consequences.

Just a few days ago, Clinton said Japan had a right to defend itself against North Korea.




From Breitbart:

WASHINGTON (AP) - The State Department says that North Korea has launched a rocket, following through on its promise of a launch despite international criticism.
State Department spokesman Fred Lash confirmed the launch, saying it occurred at 10:30 p.m. EDT Saturday.

"We look on this as a provocative act," said Lash.

North Korea had informed international authorities that it planned to launch a rocket sometime between Saturday and Wednesday in order to put a satellite into orbit.


But the U.S., South Korea, Japan and others suspect it is a cover for testing a long-range missile for the North, which has nuclear weapons. Leaders from those countries had warned Pyongyang not to proceed with the planned rocket launch.

They fear such a test could be a first step toward putting a nuclear warhead on a missile capable of reaching Alaska and beyond.

New Photos Of The Day Martin Luther King Was Killed (Video)

CNN interviews Life magazine photographer who had exclusive access to Martin Luther King, Jr April 4th, 1968 in Memphis.




See all photos at Life.com.

On April 4, 1968, LIFE photographer Henry Groskinsky and writer Mike Silva, on assignment in Alabama, learned that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., had been shot at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. They raced to the scene and there, incredibly, had unfettered access to the hotel grounds, Dr. King's room, and the surrounding area. For reasons that have been lost in the intervening years, the photographs taken that night and the next day were never published. Until now.

International Pillow Fight in Warsaw 2009 (Video)

This is just silly... Hundreds of people took part in a mass pillow fight in the streets of Warsaw as part of international pillow fight day.

"I have no idea about any demonstration. For me, it's just an excuse to beat up other people with pillows, just a bit of harmless violence," said one participant.

I had no idea there was such a thing as international pillow fight day. Looks to me like it's just an excuse to beat up other people with pillows.

Those Poles sure know how to throw a party! I just hope no one was drinking! Vodka and feathers don't mix.

Looks like they've come a long way since Solidarity; Lech Walesa must be so proud.



Bitwa na poduszki is Polish for "pillow fight".

Taliban Chief Claims Responsibility for N.Y. Shooting Massacre

Developing...

Earlier this month, Team "0" said it wanted to cozy up to the "moderate Taliban". The Taliban response called the proposal illogical and an oxymoron!

Last weekend, Obama vowed to "disrupt, dismantle and defeat" Taliban and Al-Qaida.

Last week, an alliance of the Taliban and Afghan military promised "amazing" attacks on Washington, D.C. and the Taliban once again called Obama's diplomacy efforts a "lunatic idea".

Fox News reports:

A Pakistani Taliban militant leader has claimed responsibility for the attack on a U.S. immigration center in New York state in which 13 people were killed, Reuters reported.

"I accept responsibility. They were my men. I gave them orders in reaction to U.S. drone attacks," Baituallah Mehsud told Reuters by telephone from an undisclosed location on Saturday.


U.S. officials were not immediately available for comment about Mehsud's claim, Reuters reported, and one Pakistani security analyst dismissed the claim as a publicity stunt.

Representative Maurice Hinchey, whose district includes Binghamton, told the New York Times that indications are the gunman was an immigrant from Vietnam.

Mehsud's claim comes as a suspected U.S. drone fired two missiles at an alleged militant hide-out Saturday in northwestern Pakistan, killing 13 people.

British Paper Mocks Obama, "The World's Greatest Orator" Fumbles Again Without the Teleprompter!

It looks like the international community is starting to catch on to what we've known for years!

Mr. President, you're nothing without your best friend!


From The Guardian:

Barack Obama, the World's Greatest Orator (™all news organisations), didn't exactly cover himself in glory when the BBC's political editor Nick Robinson asked him a question about who was to blame for the financial crisis. Normally word perfect, Obama ummed, ahed and waffled for the best part of two and a half minutes. Here, John Crace decodes what he was really thinking ...

Nick Robinson: "A question for you both, if I may. The prime minister has repeatedly blamed the United States of America for causing this crisis. France and Germany both blame Britain and America for causing this crisis. Who is right? And isn't the debate about that at the heart of the debate about what to do now?" Brown immediately swivels to leave Obama in pole position. There is a four-second delay before Obama starts speaking

[THANKS FOR NOTHING, GORDY BABY. REMIND ME TO HANG YOU OUT TO DRY ONE DAY.]
Barack Obama: "I, I, would say that, er ... pause [I HAVEN'T A CLUE] ... if you look at ... pause [WHO IS THIS NICK ROBINSON JERK?] ... the, the sources of this crisis ... pause [JUST KEEP GOING, BUDDY] ... the United States certainly has some accounting to do with respect to . . . pause [I'M IN WAY TOO DEEP HERE] ... a regulatory system that was inadequate to the massive changes that have taken place in the global financial system ... pause, close eyes [THIS IS GOING TO GO DOWN LIKE A CROCK OF SHIT BACK HOME. HELP]. I think what is also true is that ... pause [I WANT NICK ROBINSON TO DISAPPEAR] ... here in Great Britain ... pause [SHIT, GORDY'S THE HOST, DON'T LAND HIM IN IT] ... here in continental Europe ... pause [DAMN IT, BLAME EVERYONE.] ... around the world. We were seeing the same mismatch between the regulatory regimes that were in place and er ... pause [I'VE LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT AGAIN] ... the highly integrated, er, global capital markets that have emerged ... pause [I'M REALLY WINGING IT NOW]. So at this point, I'm less interested in ... pause [YOU] ... identifying blame than fixing the problem. I think we've taken some very aggressive steps in the United States to do so, not just responding to the immediate crisis, ensuring banks are adequately capitalised, er, dealing with the enormous, er ... pause [WHY DIDN'T I QUIT WHILE I WAS AHEAD?] ... drop-off in demand and contraction that has taken place. More importantly, for the long term, making sure that we've got a set of, er, er, regulations that are up to the task, er, and that includes, er, a number that will be discussed at this summit. I think there's a lot of convergence between all the parties involved about the need, for example, to focus not on the legal form that a particular financial product takes or the institution it emerges from, but rather what's the risk involved, what's the function of this product and how do we regulate that adequately, much more effective coordination, er, between countries so we can, er, anticipate the risks that are involved there. Dealing with the, er, problem of derivatives markets, making sure we have set up systems, er, that can reduce some of the risks there. So, I actually think ... pause [FANTASTIC. I'VE LOST EVERYONE, INCLUDING MYSELF] ... there's enormous consensus that has emerged in terms of what we need to do now and, er ... pause [I'M OUTTA HERE. TIME FOR THE USUAL CLOSING BOLLOCKS] ... I'm a great believer in looking forwards than looking backwards.

Hugo Chavez: Chavez: "Capitalism needs to go down"

Obama's favorite Western Hemisphere Neo-Fascist Socialist Hugo Chavez had some harsh words for the G20 Nations.

Oh, Hugo! What's the matter? Are you sore because you weren't invited to the Big Tea Party across The Pond?

This is the same man who called Obama "a poor ignoramus", told him to "clean his ass" and called on Obama to embrace Socialism for the benefit of the Western Hemisphere.

Oddly enough, he did make one good point by saying that another $1 Trillion in spending is "more money for a bottomless pit."

Hmmm.... maybe Republicans should have consulted Hugo in their fight against the CRAPulus Spending Bill.



TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Friday ridiculed the G-20 summit's attempts to deal with the global financial meltdown, saying that capitalism is in crisis and must end.

Chavez criticized the G-20 nations' pledges of more than a trillion dollars for lending to struggling countries at Thursday's summit in London, calling it "the same medicine that's killing the patient—a trillion dollars ... more money for a bottomless pit."


Speaking during a visit to Iran, the Venezuelan leader said the plans by the Group of 20 industrial and developing countries would strengthen "one of the great guilty ones behind the crisis: the International Monetary Fund."

The IMF and the World Bank are "tools of imperialism" and must be eliminated, Chavez said.

In earlier remarks, he also blamed the United States and Britain, calling them "the most guilty" for the financial crisis sweeping the globe because of the financial model "they've been imposing for years."

"It's impossible that capitalism can regulate the monster that is the world financial system, it's impossible," Chavez told Venezuela's state TV late Thursday. "Capitalism needs to go down. It has to end. And we must take a transitional road to a new model that we call socialism."

He's so Guapo when he is angry! En fuego!

New Video Shows U.S. Citizen Recruiting Fighters For Muslim Holy War

An English speaker with an American accent appears in a Jihadist video, laughing and talking about ambushing and killing Ethiopian and Somali soldiers.



Breitbart reports:

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - A man who calls himself an American promotes holy war in Somalia in a video posted this week on an Islamic militant Web site. A U.S. government contractor who tracks extremist propaganda says the footage is the first to show what may be an American with a senior role in al-Shabab, a Somali group the State Department considers a terrorist organization with links to al-Qaida.


The half-hour video features an amateur English-language rap soundtrack and purports to show an operation against Ethiopian troops in Somalia. It appeared on Web sites where al-Qaida and other militant groups often post messages and videos. A caption says it was filmed on July 15, 2008.

A tall man with long dark hair and a wide smile who appears to be in his 20s and gives his nom de guerre as "Abu Mansour al-Amriki," or "the American," urges Muslims around the world to send their children to replace his group's fallen fighters.

"If you can encourage more of your children, and more of your neighbors, and anyone around you to send people ... to this jihad, it would be a great asset for us," he says.

Al-Amriki speaks English with a North American accent and reads verses from the Quran in fluent classical Arabic. He appears to be of European or possibly Arab descent but it was impossible to independently confirm his nationality or where the video was filmed.

The man appears in a scrubby rural clearing filled with short trees and dust. There are few identifying markers indicating he is in Somalia, though several of his companions appear to be Somalis.

In the Somali capital, Mogadishu, a former fighter, Mohamed Muqtar, said he had met the man more than two years ago in the Islamist stronghold of Kismayo, Somalia's third-largest town.

"This is the same man, the American man, I saw in Kismayo two years ago when I was being trained there," he said. "This man was training us how to make land mines and explosives."

A Convenient Lie; Obama Invokes Goreacle At French Town Hall (Video)

"The pollution from cars in Boston or from factories in Beijing are melting the ice caps in the arctic. And that will disrupt weather patterns everywhere."

Fear-mongering? Nah, he's just making up shit now to pass his "cap and trade" energy plan.





Team "O" is getting ready to join the international "climate change" fleecing of tax dollars and jobs in America.

Last week, Fox News obtained a UN document which details how a "climate change" plan will use fake science to induce a massive worldwide redistribution of wealth in an attempt to control the global economy.

A new study from Spain illustrates the economic detriment of the country's "green jobs" plan. For every so-called "Green Job" created, at least 2.2 jobs from related industries are lost. Net result: thousands of job losses at the expense of appeasing radical environmentalists.

A recent Heritage study suggests that Obama's "Cap and trade" energy plan may cost upwards of $7 Trillion.

"Cap and trade" programs have killed jobs in California and the European Union.

The CBO estimates that "cap and trade" generally decreases revenue to the Federal Government, leading to an increased deficit.

Obama's "cap and trade" energy plan -- which he said last week he would sign -- may cost over $2 Trillion and up to 4 million jobs.

Cap and trade bills are nothing short of a government re-engineering of the American economy. With its aggressive targets to reduce emissions from fossil fuel use, it would put the nation on a path of serious economic harm not justified by any benefits.

Not to mention, science has yet to show that "cap and trade" will actually do anything for so-called "climate change".

Back in the USSA: Russian President Medvedev Hails Barack Obama as "My New Comrade"


Wow! That was easy! Obama's cool charming personality it "totally different" than George Bush!


Translation: "Mother Russia likes it very much. We have new communist comrade in United States. 100 years of trying and now we finally have our guy."


Welcome to the United Socialist States of America, USSA.


"We are from Russia and we are here to help."





Russia's Dmitry Medvedev hailed Barack Obama as "my new comrade" Thursday after their first face-to-face talks, saying the US president "can listen" -- even if little progress was made on substance.

The Russian president contrasted Obama as "totally different" to his predecessor George W. Bush, whom he blamed for the "mistake" of US missile shield plans fiercely opposed by Moscow.

Obama agreed to visit Moscow in July after his talks with Medvedev on Wednesday on the sidelines of a G20 summit in London aimed at fixing the battered world economy.

"I believe that we managed to establish contact. But Moscow lies ahead. I cannot say that we made much progress on the most serious issues," he told reporters, adding: "Let's wait and see."

"I liked the talks. It is easy to talk to him. He can listen. The start of this relationship is good," he said, adding: "Today it's a totally different situation (compared to Bush)... This suits me quite well."


I'm sure it suits you "quite well", I bet it does comrade!

The Census: It's Time For An Amendment Banning Both the Counting Of Illegals and Statistical Sampling


Stealing the Census: Why We Have To Live With It


The Unconstitutional White House effort to create a permanent voting majority by allowing Rahm Emanuel to oversee the 2010 census is now irrelevant.

While you were sleeping, Team "O" took over America.

ACORN is the largest radical Leftist group in America today.


ACORN thinks Americans have a Constitutional right to own a home, supports illegally breaking into homes , pressures Blue-Dog Democrats to back radical legislation and generally acts like above-the-law criminals.



ACORN was officially tapped as a Census partner in February and the CRAPulus Spending "Stimulus" Bill contains over $4 Billion for "neighborhood stabilization", i.e. community organizations like ACORN.



FOX News reported:




The U.S. Census is supposed to be free of politics, but one group with a history of voter fraud, ACORN, is participating in next year's count, raising concerns about the politicization of the decennial survey.


The Census director now says it will use "community organizations", like ACORN, to ensure illegal immigrants are counted in the 2010 census.



Nope, no joke. Even more absurd is that counting illegals has been proven to be constitutional.








Oddly enough, a great piece at The Huffington Post covers the debate from all angles.

The way the Fourteenth Amendment (Section 2) is worded, "whole persons" has been interpreted to include non-citizens:


"Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed."


CNSNews reports:



The acting director of the U.S. Census Bureau, Thomas Mesenbourg, told CNSNews.com that the bureau intends to work with community organizations to make sure every illegal alien in the United States is counted in the 2010 Census.

The Census is used to apportion the seats in the U.S. House of Representative. There are 435 House seats that are divided among the states in proportion to their population, which is determined by the decennial census. States with more people get more seats in the U.S. House.

This means that a state harboring more illegal aliens can gain more House seats as long as the Census Bureau finds the illegal aliens and counts them. This also means that the illegal alien population resident in the United States during a census year has the potential to alter the regional and philosophical balance of power in Congress.


The Obama Administration has now tapped Robert Groves, an expert in statistical sampling, to replace Mesenbourg as the next census director.



Groves is a former Census Bureau associate director of statistical design, serving from 1990-92. He has spent decades researching ways to improve survey response rates. If confirmed by the Senate, he will take the helm less than a year before the decennial count, which has been beset by partisan bickering and will be used to apportion House seats and allocate billions in federal dollars.

When he was the bureau's associate director, Groves recommended that the 1990 census be statistically adjusted to make up for an undercount of roughly 5 million people, many of them minorities in dense urban areas who tend to vote for Democrats.

But in a fierce political dispute that prompted White House staff to call the bureau and express opposition, the Census Bureau was overruled by Republican Commerce Secretary Robert Mosbacher, who called the proposed statistical adjustment "political tampering."

The Supreme Court later ruled in 1999 that the use of statistical sampling cannot be used to apportion House seats, but indicated that adjustments could be made to the population count when redrawing congressional boundaries.

Anyone who has studied statistics or worked in a field which uses statistical analysis knows one thing.

Statistics can be used to prove whatever you want them to prove.

Having a pit-bull like Rahmbo The Ballerina at the helm and a brilliant statistician like Groves and counting illegals is one of the most frightening displays of the fascist take-over of America I have seen from Team "O".

And unfortunately, based on Utah v. Evans, the Supreme Court has ruled that statistical sampling is also Constitutional.

It's time for a Constitutional amendment. And this has nothing to do with the immigration debate or politics.

If you cannot vote, how can you have representation in Congress? The Census dictates Congressional districts and consequently, the Electoral College for electing The President.

How does that make sense to anyone?

Joe Biden Gaffe Alert: Says "Stimulus" Funded NC Fire Station; Money Was Already Secured Last Year From Bush Admin.

Never a dull moment from Team "O"! He claims credit for infrastructure improvements as examples of CRAPulus Spending Bill success.

A North Carolina State Senator and former Bush employee in the Department of Agriculture strongly disagrees, adding it's "totally disingenuous" for Biden to take credit.

PIKEVILLE, N.C. — Vice President Joe Biden brought a clear message to this tiny Eastern North Carolina town Wednesday: The federal recovery money isn't just for big banks and auto companies.

Biden and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack announced a new wave of $10.4 billion in federal stimulus money for home loans across the country, and billions more for essential services in rural communities such as Pikeville, which is getting money for a new fire station. Biden used the outdated, current station as a backdrop. Pikeville is just north of Goldsboro in Wayne County.

"We're investing in places like this all across the country," Biden said, "to demonstrate the vital role towns like this play in the recovery."

Most of the money for the station that was announced Wednesday, however, had been secured last year under the Bush administration, according to fire department officials.

State Sen. David Rouzer, a Republican who represents Pikeville and worked in the Agriculture Department under President Bush, said he helped secure the fire department money last year out of the federal agency's regular programs.

"They're coming in and cherry picking the best projects and switching out the money, saying it's stimulus money," Rouzer said. "But it was already approved and in the pipeline. It's totally disingenuous to come down here and say this is stimulus money, when regardless of whether a stimulus bill passed, they were getting the money."

First Look at "Bruno" Trailer, New "Borat" Creator Sacha Baron Cohen Film (Video)



The Sun reports:

In the film, which opens on July 10, British comic Cohen plays a gay Austrian TV presenter called Bruno.

The trailer shows Bruno on a talk show with his black adopted baby saying: “I gave him a traditional African name - OJ.”

A shocked Afro-Caribbean member of the audience jumps up and replies: “What?”

It is clear that Americans have again been taken in by Cohen’s disguise, even though Borat made the actor a household name by taking £185million at the box office.

In one scene a self defence expert takes Bruno seriously as he waves a sex toy at him and says: “How do you protect yourself from a dildo?”

While four men in camoflauge outfits do not take well to his suggestion that “you are so like The Sex and the City girls”.

Cohen again shows he is not afraid of wild sexual encounters.

He is whipped by a busty topless woman who tells him to “take it off now”.

The movie is facing an adults only certification in the US due to the sexually explicit material. Some scenes might have to be cut so Bruno can be seen by a wider audience.

"Feel Like Getting Nasty?" White House Gives Reporters Phone Sex Line Instead Of Briefing Call With Hillary

Obama gives Gordon Brown a DVD set which doesn't work and then an IPOD to the Queen. He's also displayed a pretty poor track-record in vetting cabinet nominees.

Hillary famously gave the Russians a "reset" button and now provides journalist with an opportunity for phone sex?

Are these people stupid, insane or blatantly incompetent! Seriously, does anyone fact check in this Administration?

Fox reports:

Journalists seeking to talk a little foreign policy with high-profile Obama administration officials live from the G20 meetings in London this week were solicited for phone sex instead after ringing up the toll-free number given by the White House.

In a press release, the White House accidentally listed a sex line number for journalists seeking an "on-the-record briefing call with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and National Security Advisor Jim Jones to discuss the NATO summit."

But after dialing, a soft-voiced female recording that was clearly not Clinton asked for a credit card number if you "feel like getting nasty."

After several efforts to make sure that the phone number was correctly dialed, a call to the White House resulted in a corrected press release. "If you are having trouble dialing into the call, please try this number as an alternative," and listed the international line included for reporters abroad to dial.

By this time, the conference call was already under way.

Asked for comment about this mishap, Deputy White House Press Secretary Bill Burton responded: "A corrected phone number on a press release is probably one of the stupider things FOX News has covered lately."


Sorry, Mr. Deputy Press Secretary, but Fox is not simply covering a "corrected phone number."

The network is the only MSM outlet reporting the facts about Team "O".

This Administration is incompetent, arrogant and in over its collective heads.

Chris Matthews Says Europe Wants "To Sit in America's Back Seat and Bitch." (Video)

Christopher Hitchens of "Vanity Fair" and Tina Brown of The Daily Beast.com.

Geithner: I'm Open To Pressuring A Bank CEO To Resign (Video)

Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner tells Katie Couric he is open to more unconstitutional terminations of CEOs, continuing Team "O"s assault on the markets, investors and capitalism.

President Obama, in a blatant abuse on his constitutional Executive power, felt it necessary to fire GM CEO Rick Wagoner this week.

Tim Geithner unveiled a plan last week, designed to give Treasury Department the ability to take over financial institutions at the Secretary's choosing.

Recently, a bill has been introduced in Congress, HR 1664 Grayson-Himes Pay For Performance Act of 2009, which aims to cap pay which is not performance based and any and all employees who work for companies receiving bailout dollars.

It's a power grab to redistribute wealth, penalize the successful and establish a communistic "equality" among Americans. Regulation = control and power.

Team "O" wants to destroy free market capitalism. There is ample proof of Obama's war on investors. Welcome to The United Socialist States of America (USSA).




CBS News:

Days after GM's CEO Rick Wagoner was forced out by the Obama administration, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner left open the possibility that such moves could happen again.

In an interview with CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric, Geithner acknowledged the government has had to do "exceptional things" – citing AIG as well as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

"We have changed management aboard," he said. "And where we've done that, we've done it because we thought that was necessary to make sure these institutions emerge stronger in the future."

O'Reilly Defends Leftwing "Harasser" As "Legitimate Form Of Journalism"

Bill O'Reilly and Amanda Carpenter defend "Legitimate Form Of Journalism."

I get a tingle down my leg knowing that leftists like Think Progress consider O'Reilly reporter Jesse Waters as a "harasser"!

The left's tactics are a far bigger displays of harassment than Waters could even imagine.

They refer to O'Reilly and Waters as the "harassment machine" in their video title, yet they are the ones trying to discredit and dismantle and disembowel Waters.

Radical leftist media bias hypocrisy at its finest.

Screw these Libtards!

Taliban Yet Again Mocks Obama! "Lunatic Idea", Taliban Says Of Latest U.S. Offer of "Honourable Reconcilation"

I have to wonder if Obama and his "cut and run", anti-American National Security Team will come to understand a very crucial U.S. Policy.

The United States does not negotiate with terrorists!

The Taliban is simply "not that into you" and your teleprompter like your elite media buddies and flocking- sheep- Kool Aid- masses back home. Terrorists don't drool over empty promises and 50 cent words; nor does anything you say make them tingle. They are merely mocking you and laughing from their secret caves.

They seek nothing more than to destroy the U.S. It's very simple, Mr. President, why are you trying to complicate the issue.

No matter what you and your cowardly radical socialist friends believe; the war on terror is very real, Mr. President, and not a conflict started by The United States.

Earlier this month, Team "0" said it wanted to cozy up to the "moderate Taliban". The Taliban response called the proposal illogical and an oxymoron!

This past weekend, Obama vowed to "disrupt, dismantle and defeat" Taliban and Al-Qaida.

Yesterday, an alliance of the Taliban and Afghan military promised "amazing" attacks on Washington, D.C.

The Taliban remains unimpressed with Dear Leader.

The Times of India reports:

KABUL: Taliban insurgents rejected on Wednesday a US offer of “honourable reconciliation” as a “lunatic idea” and said the withdrawal of foreign troops was the only way to end the war in Afghanistan.

“This matter was also raised in the past,” said Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, referring to comments by Obama who spoke of reaching out to moderate Taliban. “They have to go and find the moderate Taliban and speak to them. This is a lunatic idea,” Mujahid said by telephone.

Meanwhile, about70 Taliban militants in Swat valley entered a house belonging to opposition PML-Q leader and former federal minister Amir Muqam on Wednesday and blew it up. Muqam was not present in the home.

Another British Member of European Parilaiment Blasts Gordon Brown: "You have devalued democracy in our country" (Video)

Nigel Farag spoke a few moments before Daniel Hannan had his turn at now famously lambasting Gordon Brown: "you have run out of our money!"

Why can't we have leaders like Farag and Hannan in our Congress with the intelligence, humor and political chutzpah to stand up to the Obama/Pelosi machine?



(H/T: UKIP TV.COM)

Transcript:

Mr President, the Prime Minister has received some criticism this afternoon for his comment British jobs for British workers, but you can brush that aside, because from the moment he said it I do not think anybody seriously thought that he would ever, as a British Prime Minister, put the interests of British workers above that of his European dream.

My goodness me, you showed that this afternoon, Prime Minister.It is just a pity that, apart from UKIP, virtually nobody seems to have bothered to turn up to listen to you. You are very popular here. You are very popular indeed because within a few days of the Irish saying no to the Lisbon Treaty, you had rammed that Treaty through the British Parliament, breaking a specific manifesto pledge that you would give the British people a referendum on the Constitutional Treaty.

Shame on you, Prime Minister, for doing that.

You have devalued democracy in our country; you have devalued the trust that voters put in you as a British Prime Minister. Of course, we know the reason why. The reason why is that we would have voted no. You said in your speech that none but those on the extremes oppose European Union. Well, that may be right amongst professional career politicians, but a clear majority of the British people want us to have friendship and free trade with the European Union, but do not want to be members of this political Union.

You cannot continue to build this European Union against public opinion. If you do it against the will of the people, you are storing up enormous social and political problems for the future. Please let the peoples of Europe decide their destiny. Do not have it done in parliaments like this and parliaments like Westminster. It will not work!

As far as the economy is concerned, you have told us that somehow you are the economic guru; you are the man who can save the world. Well, I remember very well your first big act as Chancellor when you sold 400 metric tonnes of gold on the worlds exchanges at USD 275 an ounce. At todays valuation, that would be USD 10 billion higher. It was not just the fact that you got it wrong, because we can all get it wrong. It was the fact that you announced in advance how much you were going to sell and on what day you were going to sell it. It was an error so basic that the average A-level economics student even in these educationally devalued times would not have done this. To add to that, you have destroyed our private pension system, and you took away from the Bank of England its ability to regulate the banks and gave it to the tick-box bureaucrats of the FSA in Canary Wharf.

We have not heard an apology. Your Government has apologised for the Amritsar massacre; you have apologised for slavery; you have apologised for virtually everything. Will you please apologise for what you did as British Chancellor, and then perhaps we might just listen to you?

Biden Says 'Working Class Families Have To Share' If America Wants Economic Success (Video)

Socialism 101: Redistribution of wealth!

Joe Biden, Middle Class Task Force Czar says it's not sufficient that the economy recovers, but whether the standard of living increases in the middle class.

Huh? Would it not make sense that a stronger economy would, by definition, lead to higher standards of living?

"Sharing"? What is this, kindergarten economics?

Screw that! Economic Darwinism; survival of the fittest companies and individuals.

Mr. Biden, equal opportunity for prosperity is the American Promise; not equal results.

I will not "share" my success with others, nor will I ask for handouts.

Couric Says Violent G20 Protestors Are Experiencing "Populist Anger" (Video)

Katie Couric equates violent protests in London with Americans "anger" over banks and Wall Street. She says protests showcase "populist anger" towards governments who are "not doing enough for the poor"?

Who's angry? President Obama and Tim Geithner and their war on capitalism?

At least Obama is not literally throwing bricks down on Wall Street, but the Liberals may as well start breaking stuff.



President Obama, in a blatant abuse on his constitutional Executive power, felt it necessary to fire GM CEO Rick Wagoner this week.

VIDEO: Michele Bachmann and Glenn Beck Discuss Global Currency; "Conspiracy" Becoming a Reality!

Rep. Michele Bachmann has been attacked recently in the media for her "conspiracy theory" about a proposed global currency. Last week, she proposed a bill in the U.S. House to protect the American dollar.

She also destroyed tax cheat Tim Geithner last week while he testified on The Hill.

Today, we learned that Russia and China are dead serious about creating such a global currency to replace the U.S. dollar as a reserve currency.


Russia and China are coordinating proposals on a new global currency that could replace the US dollar as a reserve currency to prevent a repeat of the global economic crisis, the Kremlin said on Monday.

"We have received proposals from our colleagues in China, detailed proposals," President Dmitry Medvedev's top economic adviser Arkady Dvorkovich said. "Our positions are very similar.

"We have similar positions on the development of the international financial architecture," he told reporters.


Ahead of the Group of 20 summit in London later this week, the Kremlin has published a raft of proposals to overhaul the global economic order, including plans for a supra-national currency that could replace the US dollar.

China has come forward with similar ideas.



She discussed the reality of the global currency nightmare with Glenn Beck today.

Judge Orders Guantanamo Detainee Released

So, why exactly am I supposed to have sympathy for this guy?

Is it that he trained for jihad? Hung out in a cave with Osama bin Laden? Or that he was fighting U.S. soldiers on the battlefield?

Sure, release him. But not here; send his sorry ass back to Yemen where they still have a justice system which punishes the scum of the earth. I would enjoy seeing how the Islamist Extremists handle a traitorous "brother".

Thanks for the tips on terrorists, pal, but that's no reason to let you loose in America.

But, I guess none of this matters since Attorney General Eric Holder already said we would release some detainees back into the U.S, the Obama Administration has officially abandoned the terms "war on terror" and "enemy combatant" so screw it! Let these American-hating pieces of crap loose!

Detroit, Oakland or Camden, NJ would be my top choices!


A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the United States to release a prisoner from the Guantanamo detention center who said he fears for his life after informing against senior al-Qaida leaders.

U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle issued a one-page judgment ordering the release of Yasin Muhammed Basardh, a 33-year-old from Yemen. The judge didn't say in the ruling why Basardh should be let go, but she said it was explained during a closed hearing in her courtroom earlier in the day.

Basardh has begged U.S. officials not to send him back to Yemen or any other Muslim country.

"I am cooperative to the point where my cooperation with everyone has led to many people threatening my life," he said at a 2005 military hearing.

"Osama bin Laden's people know about me. They will not hesitate to kill me or anyone in my family. If they cannot kill me, they will kill at least one person from my family to get their revenge," Basardh said. At the time, he said he wanted to join the U.S. Army.

According to charges filed by the military in 2004, Basardh is a member of the Taliban who trained at a terror camp in Afghanistan that Osama bin Laden visited. The government says Basardh fought against the U.S. or its coalition partners, and fled to the Tora Bora region in November 2001, where he stayed in a cave with bin Laden.

He later left Tora Bora for Pakistan and was captured by the Pakistani military, according to the government.

Basardh told U.S. officials that before going to Afghanistan he spent time in Saudi Arabian jails for dealing drugs. He said other drug dealers who had repented persuaded him to train for jihad in Afghanistan.
