Look &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hashmark13.com/muslimkid.doc&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; if you dont believe the American Media has sold us out. This is just a brief example of which many I can prove. This is why I dont read the American Media. They lie by omission. I read Iranian papers where I discovered the Madman&#39;s speech below.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;FROM THE MADMAN JIHAD IRANIAN PRESIDENT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;The Americans mean to say that prior to the triumph of the Islamic Revolution they had an economic, political and cultural domination over your country. The head of Iran had to take permit from the American ambassador for his decisions. The accursed Shah used to receive instructions from his British and American masters regarding the issue of oil, international transactions, different political relations and even the manner of dealing with the Iranian people. He did whatever the Americans wanted. The Americans say we had hegemony over your country but the Islamic Revolution ended this. They have now begun to speak of human rights and democracy and accuse Islamic Iran and the Iranian people of being terrorists. &lt;strong&gt;They are at odds with us for the past 27 years.&lt;/strong&gt; Their tools are threats, intimidation, psychological warfare, and creating discord. They threaten to impose sanctions. But the question is: Haven&#39;t we already been boycotted? As a matter of fact, whatever progress we have made in science and industry it is because of their having boycotted us. We have achieved wonderful progress in the military, scientific, and medical fields. All these took place during the sanctions upon us. Thanks to their sanctions and the freezing of our assets, we have succeeded in properly marshalling the talent and initiative of our youths as well as the resources of the country. They American say you are isolated in what they call the international community. But we say that you the Americans have been isolated and not us. &lt;strong&gt;Today the world hates the US and its policies.&lt;/strong&gt; If they want to know who is isolated, I suggest, the holding of a referendum in the Islamic world to gauge the rate of popularity of our president and that of the US. Today most of the nations and even governments hate the US although their interests do not permit them to mention public this hatred. (This has to be the stupidest statement yet. Yeah, lets take an Islamic Poll on which President is liked more, The American one or the Iranian one! And if you Islamist don&#39;t vote the right way, you die.) &lt;p&gt;The US accuses the Islamic Republic of violating human rights. &lt;p&gt;This one is really funny. Imagine the US calling itself the flag bearer of human rights. The perpetrators of the atomic holocaust of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the &lt;strong&gt;torturers of Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib,&lt;/strong&gt; calling themselves defenders of human rights! The Americans accuse Iran of being the violator of human rights, but it is clear that US itself is the worst violator of human rights. &lt;strong&gt;Today the US is a threat to world peace and security.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;p&gt;Therefore the slogan of &quot;Down with the US&quot; is not restricted to the Iranian nation. You see that in every part of the world people set fire to the effigy of the US president and vociferously denounce the US. Here I would like to say something about what the world media’s propaganda on negotiations with the US and then we will turn to the nuclear issue. It should be clearly said that we announced from the very beginning that &lt;strong&gt;Iran will never talk to the US.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;p&gt;SO WTF DID JIM BAKKER SAY IN THAT INSANE IRAQ REPORT? &lt;strong&gt;WE MUST TALK TO IRAN???? &lt;/strong&gt;They don’t get it and, sorely, they are politicians of the old world and really do not understand that the march of Islam has no desire to talk. When will this country actually listen to what the Madman is saying? Do you not see the parallel to WWII? &lt;p&gt;As a side note to all of this dangerous nonsense both here and there is this: Iran has arrested all Professors in their Colleges and Universities that did not agree with the Madman. &lt;p&gt;Indeed, the Winds of War are blowing and you would bide well to pay attention. &lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hashmark13.blogspot.com/feeds/116554545331631373/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/10657323/116554545331631373?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10657323/posts/default/116554545331631373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10657323/posts/default/116554545331631373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hashmark13.blogspot.com/2006/12/winds-of-war.html' title='The Winds of War'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10657323.post-116432995819154579</id><published>2006-11-23T16:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-23T18:01:26.596-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The New Middle East</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6956/814/1600/932934/meast2.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6956/814/320/329022/meast2.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;This picture depicts what Iran will look like if we pull out of Iraq.&amp;nbsp; Remember, Iraq was the only buffer for a complete Shia dominated Middle East.&amp;nbsp; If the RED occurs, Iran will control all oil in and out out of the middle east not to mention the following next two objectives:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;1.&amp;nbsp; Destroy Israel&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;2.&amp;nbsp; Destroy Saudi (Sunnis) and thereby own all Middle Eastern oil.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;At one time, this may not have been too much of a disaster since we also import much of our oil from Venezuela.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; However, as you hopefully have noticed, Iran&#39;s Madman Jihad Prez and Chavez have entered into a &quot;pact&quot; so once number 2 above is achieved, I suspect Chavez cuts oil sales to the United States thereby hurting us just not economically but militarily.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You may say Venezeula will not do that as they need the dollar for their own economy.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Again, what American news media is NOT telling you is China is purchasing all its oil from two countries:&amp;nbsp; Iran and &lt;strong&gt;Venezeula&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; AND, Venezeula is receving Euros for its oil striving toward its secondary goal of this pact....destroy the dollar and replace it with the Euro as the dominant world currency.

Another simulates a blow job on a guy in a giant king&#39;s chair in the lobby.&quot;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;SO THIS IS WHAT POLOSI&#39;S SAN FRAN VALUES ARE THAT WILL BE COMING TO A TV SCREEN SOON.&amp;nbsp; ENJOY!!&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hashmark13.blogspot.com/feeds/116312004080289095/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/10657323/116312004080289095?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10657323/posts/default/116312004080289095'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10657323/posts/default/116312004080289095'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hashmark13.blogspot.com/2006/11/san-fran-values-and-our-new-house-of.html' title='SAN FRAN VALUES AND OUR NEW HOUSE OF REPS'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10657323.post-115965838098311677</id><published>2006-09-30T15:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-02T19:36:46.890-07:00</updated><title type='text'>QUIK HIT 4</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6956/814/1600/skype-keyboard.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6956/814/320/skype-keyboard.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOW THIS SEEMS USEFUL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buffalo, a Japanese Gadgets company, have released these wonderful Skype Keyboards which have a built-in headset or the Skype Phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The keyboards connect to the regular USB port of the computer using just one cable so you save the wiring hassles of connecting a separate Skype phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can even use it as a speakerphone to keep typing while making phone calls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;USING IE BROWSWER? &lt;/strong&gt;SERIOUS BUG - VERY SERIOUS OUT IN THE WILD.

Really?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14 January 2006: In April 2003, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg attended a meeting at the Al Khoei Islamic Center located on the Van Wyck Expressway in Jamaica, NY, assuring mosque leaders and members that anti-Muslim bias and hate speech would never be tolerated. His comments were well received by Imam Sheik Fadhel al Sahlan and other leaders of the Al Khoei Islamic Center, mosque and school. Mayor Bloomberg suggested that history would indeed show that the hatred and extremism espoused by the Islamic terrorists that ripped into our nation and his city in 2001 was taught in mosques a half a world away. A closer examination of the facts proves otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A more extensive investigation that pierces the thin veil of public appearances and political photo ops reveals that &lt;strong&gt;a curriculum of hatred, religious and cultural intolerance and revisionist history is being taught in mosques, Islamic centers and associated Islamic schools inside the U.S.&lt;/strong&gt;, and is much more pervasive than most would care to admit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.homelandsecurityus.com/site/modules/news/article.php?storyid=32&quot;&gt;Homeland Security&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ANWAR - THE GREAT TRUTH&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could be 17 billion barrels of oil that could very well negate OPEC. But who won’t let us get it? And what do they tell us? This rivals the Great American Lie above. Remember that next time you fill up your car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NO KIDDING&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why aren&#39;t people shifting to higher income brackets given that the economy is in fairly good shape. This has been one of the most profitable expansions for companies that we&#39;ve ever seen. But &lt;strong&gt;it&#39;s really a corporate decision where the money is going, and right now it&#39;s really going more toward corporations and CEO pay &lt;/strong&gt;than toward increasing wages and benefits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and today, more CEO’s figured out how to make even more cash (like Monster.com as an example) – backdate their options!!

As far as I am concerned they&#39;re now all about &lt;strong&gt;themselves&lt;/strong&gt; and NOT for us, the people!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But to understand why we are where we are today with Terrorism, we need to understand what happened yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To also understand the beginning of modern Terrorism, one only has to go back to Jimmy Carter’s Presidency. However, today we want to understand how we got where we are in recent history so let’s start with….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;William Jefferson Clinton&lt;/strong&gt; who becomes President January 21, 1993. He claims during his Administration, the U.S. enjoyed more peace and economic well being than at any time in its history. Of course, in hindsight, we now know most of the economic well being was the internet bubble. We also now know from history that while peace was enjoyed in country, there was far from peace elsewhere in the world as depicted below. And, worst of all, from Clinton&#39;s inaction to do the “hard work”, 9/11 which did not happen on his watch had certainly occurred because &lt;strong&gt;OF&lt;/strong&gt; his watch. Let’s examine the facts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CIA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Upon taking power in 1993, the Clinton administration &quot;began slashing the intelligence budget in search of a peace dividend, and Bill Clinton showed almost no interest in intelligence matters.&quot; One statement made &lt;strong&gt;&quot;Thanks to Vice President Al Gore, for example, the CIA briefly made the global environment one of is priorities.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; (And I am sure Gore’s Movie “An Inconvenient Truth” is much more important than today’s geopolitical nightmare. Truthfully though, finding Gore’s name attached to a movie with the word “truth” in it, is almost too funny to bear considering he flies around in his personal jet for appearances while claiming global warming is the worst threat the world is facing.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WORLD TRADE CENTER&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I digress. In February 1993, the World Trade Center was bombed by Muslim fanatics, killing five people and injuring hundreds. &lt;strong&gt;Clinton, advised by Dick Clarke (National Security Council Terrorism Czar), did nothing.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SOMALIA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In October 1993, 18 American troops were killed in a savage firefight in Somalia. The body of one American was dragged through the streets of Mogadishu as the Somalian hordes cheered. &lt;strong&gt;US Defense Secretary Les Aspin denies requests for armored reinforcements, despite support for Montgomery&#39;s request from General Colin Powell.&lt;/strong&gt; It’s a military disaster that sets the course for 9/11 as Osama states that at this moment he realized America was a paper tiger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NORTH KOREA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1994 Carter visits, Kim Il-Sung of North Korea at the behest of Clinton to propose the North freeze its nuclear program on condition that it receive lightwater reactors which could be monitored more easily by the outside world. This proposal eventually led to a landmark agreement in October 1994 in Geneva, under which North Korea agreed to freeze its nuclear program in exchange for two light-water reactors and fuel from the West. President Clinton agrees. Carter returned to Seoul from Pyongyang with a proposal from Kim Il-Sung to hold an inter-Korean summit, but the summit was cancelled by the sudden death of Kim Il-Sung from a heart attack on July 8, 1994. Kim Il-Sung was succeeded by his eldest son, Kim Jong-Il and today, this whacko who is a daffy duck fan (no kidding) has nuclear weapons in part due to the light water reactors given to them by the United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SAUDI ARABIA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In November 1995, five Americans were killed and 30 wounded by a car bomb in Saudi Arabia set by Muslim extremists. &lt;strong&gt;After the attack, Clinton, advised by Dick Clarke, did nothing.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DECLARATION OF WAR&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1996, Osama Bin Laden holds a press conference convienently missed by the West’s media and he &lt;strong&gt;declares war on the United States&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SAUDIA ARABIA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In June 1996, a U.S. Air Force housing complex in Saudi Arabia was bombed by Muslim extremists. &lt;strong&gt;After the attack, Clinton, advised by Dick Clarke, did nothing&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IRAQ&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In November 1997, Iraq refused to allow U.N. weapons inspections to do their jobs and threatened to shoot down a U.S. U-2 spy plane. &lt;strong&gt;Clinton, advised by Dick Clarke, did nothing.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SUDAN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mansoor Ijaz, who negotiated with Sudan on behalf of Clinton from 1996 to 1998, paints a portrait of a White House plagued by incompetence, focused on appearances rather than action, and heedless of profound threats to national security. &lt;strong&gt;Ijaz also claims Clinton passed on an opportunity to have Osama bin Laden arrested.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sudanese President Omar Hassan Ahmed Bashir, hoping to have terrorism sanctions lifted, offered the arrest and extradition of bin Laden and &quot;detailed intelligence data about the global networks constructed by Egypt&#39;s Islamic Jihad, Iran&#39;s Hezbollah and the Palestinian Hamas,” Ijaz writes in the Los Angeles Times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These networks included the two hijackers who would later pilot jetliners into the World Trade Center. But Clinton, National Security Adviser Samuel &quot;Sandy” Berger and Madeline Albright, Secretary of State, failed to act.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back then Clinton said in a Feb. 2002 speech to a New York business group, &quot;We&#39;d been hearing that the Sudanese wanted America to start dealing with them again. They released him. At the time, 1996, he had committed no crime against America so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today the Clintonites claim this is false information proliferated by the Conservatives. Really? And this is the crux of Clinton and why he was impeached. He is a liar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Sudan Government &lt;strong&gt;DID&lt;/strong&gt; offer Osama Bin Laden to Clinton. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.newsmax.com/clinton2.mp3&quot;&gt;Hear it in Clinton&#39;s own words!!!&lt;/a&gt; And then scratch your head and wonder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tim Carny, the last U.S. Ambassador to Sudan, whose posting ended in 1997, stated the Sudanese Government were opening the doors, and we weren&#39;t taking them up on it. Letters and memorandums that document approaches made by Sudanese intelligence officials and other emissaries to members of the Clinton administration to share information about many of the 22 terrorists on the government&#39;s most-wanted list, including Osama bin Laden go unheeded. &lt;strong&gt;Madam Albright, Secretary of State, will not allow the acceptance of this information.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Tim&#39;s own words, &quot;The U.S. failed to reciprocate Sudan&#39;s willingness to engage us on some serious questions of terrorism. We can speculate that this failure had serious implications at least for what happened at the U.S. Embassies in 1998. In any case, the U.S. lost access to a mine of material on bin Laden and his organization.&quot; Carney stated, &lt;strong&gt;“It was worse than a crime. It was a fuckup.&quot; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IRAQ BUT CLINTON CAPITULATES TO THE U.N.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In February 1998, Clinton threatened to bomb Iraq, but called it off when the United Nations said no.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AMERICAN EMBASSIES (KENYA AND TANZANIA)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Aug. 7, 1998, U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim extremists. If we had taken custody of the documents offered by the Sudanese Government earlier, strong evidence sugggests this could have been avoided. &lt;strong&gt;After the attack, Clinton, advised by Dick Clarke, did nothing. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AFGHANISTAN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Aug. 20, 1998 Monica Lewinsky appeared for the second time to testify before the grand jury. &lt;strong&gt;Clinton responded by bombing Afghanistan and Sudan, severely damaging a camel and an aspirin factory. Not reported at the time, but now realized, this becomes a draw for recruitment into Al Qaida.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IRAQ&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Dec. 16, 1998 the House of Representatives &lt;strong&gt;prepared to impeach Clinton &lt;/strong&gt;the next day. Clinton retaliated by ordering major air strikes against Iraq, described by the New York Times as &quot;by far the largest military action in Iraq since the end of the Gulf War in 1991.&quot; I wonder why The Times did not reveal Clinton&#39;s plans prior to this attack? Under the Bush Administration, The Times prints it all! Could it be their politics and agenda are above honor and America?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KOSOVO&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only time Clinton decided to go to war with anyone in the vicinity of Muslim fanatics was in 1999 – when Clinton attacked Serbians who were fighting Islamic fanatics. &lt;strong&gt;The problem is, Clinton is on the wrong side. He supported the fanatics.&lt;/strong&gt; He puts no boots on the ground but rather uses airstrikes only. Thousands of civilians die, hundreds of thousands displaced and not reported by the American Press. However, it is reported by the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a387a2ce42b2c.htm&quot;&gt;Canadian Press&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;An Example of Living in Kosovo Today&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chased from her apartment in Pristina, Maria would not have had a life except that she looked Albanian. Her nephew, an interpretor for the UN, was savagely murdered. Silvana&#39;s husband was kidnapped, and she hasn&#39;t had any news about him for two years. Stanimir&#39;s home was burned down. What do they have in common? They are Serbs and live, or rather survive, in Kosovo. Why doesn&#39;t the media talk more about this region occupied by NATO and created by Clinton&#39;s bombing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IRAN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beginning in February 2000, the CIA recruited a Russian scientist who had defected to the US years earlier. His mission: Take the nuclear blueprints to Vienna to sell them - or simply give them - to the Iranian representatives for the International Atomic Energy Agency. Dubbed &quot;Operation Merlin,&quot; the plan was supposed to steer Iranian physicists off track by incorporating design flaws in the blueprints that would render the information worthless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But in what may turn out to be one of the greatest foreign policy blunders of all time, Operation Merlin backfired when the Russian scientist spotted the design flaws immediately - and even offered to help Iran fix the problems for the right price which he did. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Clinton-approved plan ended up handing Tehran &quot;one of the greatest engineering secrets in the world&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;, providing the solution to one of a handful of problems that separated nuclear powers such as the United States and Russia from rogue countries such as Iran that were desperate to join the nuclear club but had so far fallen short.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;USS COLE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In October 2000, our warship, the USS Cole, was attacked by Muslim extremists. Seventeen dead and 30 wounded. &lt;strong&gt;After the attack, Clinton, advised by Dick Clarke, did nothing. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SECRETARY OF DEFENSE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What of &lt;strong&gt;William Cohen&lt;/strong&gt;, the Secretary of Defense, during all of this? As the Secretary of Defense in President Clinton&#39;s administration, William S. Cohen led the Defense Department efforts to counter terrorism. During Cohen&#39;s tenure, the United States was targeted by Osama bin Laden and the Al Qaeda network in the bombing of U.S. Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, and the attempt to destroy the U.S.S. Cole. Cohen was a key player on the national security team that decided to send a one million dollara missile up the ass of a camel in Afghanistan and and to bomb an Aspirin plant in Sudan. I think my stock in Bayer went up after that brilliant military action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ESCHELON AND NSA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yeah, the Media has you all worked up. Bush and Cheney are kicked back on the couch listening to every American&#39;s conversation on the telephone. Damn, they can multi-task!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truth is, during the 1990s, &lt;strong&gt;President Bill Clinton ordered the National Security Agency to use its super-secret Echelon surveillance program to monitor the personal telephone calls and private email of employees who worked for foreign companies in a bid to boost U.S. trade.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2000, &lt;strong&gt;former Clinton CIA director James Woolsey &lt;/strong&gt;set off a firestorm of protest in Europe when he told the French newspaper Le Figaro that he was ordered by Clinton in 1993 &lt;strong&gt;to transform Echelon into a tool for gathering economic intelligence.&lt;/strong&gt; Of course, this was never reported by the American Press. Cannot have the American citizens understand that a super secret tool to spy on conversations of enemies is to be converted into an economic tool for ... whose benefit?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Former Clinton administration State Department official Harold Hongju Koh&lt;/strong&gt;, who is &lt;strong&gt;now Dean of Yale Law School&lt;/strong&gt;, told Specter’s committee that the NSA spying was “as blatantly illegal a program as I’ve seen.” I must be missing something. Hmmmm, ok for Bill. Illegal for George. Nope…still don’t see it. Can it be the hypocrisy is so thick from these Clintonites, I cannot see the common sense here?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DESTROY THAT EVIDENCE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sandy Berger, Clinton’s National Security Advisor, (remember him?) destroyed top secret terrorism documents in a bid to obstruct the 9/11 Commission investigation. Brokaw asked President Clinton about it and this is what Clinton said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;And he (Sandy) told me just what he said to the public.&quot; &lt;strong&gt;He said, &quot;You know, I just messed this up.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; Aw Shucks, Sandy...stealing Top Secret documents is just a mess up, I know. No problem. Better luck next time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clinton then told Brokaw, &lt;strong&gt;“And this — apparently this document in question was an after review of our efforts to thwart terrorist attacks in the millennium, which were extremely successful. So there doesn&#39;t seem to be anything suspect to me about it.” &lt;/strong&gt;OH MY GOD! Please! Pass the aspirin now that the factory is rebuilt!! Okay order me a cake of ‘I am a dumb ass public’!!!! &lt;strong&gt;If this document proved how successful you were (which I have shown you were not), then WHY IS BERGER STEALING IT??????&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In June, two months after Berger &lt;strong&gt;pled guilty to what some say is the most serious crime ever committed by a senior White House official &lt;/strong&gt;, can anyone tell me what punishment he got? Anything in newspapers? TV? Anywhere? Nope. Rather, the American Press tells us the worst crime ever was the outting of Valerie “Whomever” who wasn’t really even an undercover CIA agent!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we know about yesterday’s 12 years under Clinton which brings us to today and should now be pretty clear why we are where we are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;September 11, 2001, under a new watch, The Bush Administration, nine months into its reign, America is attacked and close to 3000 Americans die. Since 1993, the Muslim fanatics had been escalating their attacks, had declared war on the United States, had bombed U.S. Embassies (an act of war), had bombed a U.S. Navy Ship (also a certain act of war) had planned the 9/11 attack and Clinton did....well, nothing really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But hey, Bill wrote a book and made millions. Hillary wrote a book and made millions. Dick Clarke testifies before Congress and blames Bush for 9/11, writes a book, sells the rights to Hollywood for an upcoming movie and makes millions. So, hell, they did do something after all, didn&#39;t they?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One more thought before I go.  After reading this, don&#39;t ever, ever, ever let anyone tell you your vote is not important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-hashmark</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hashmark13.blogspot.com/feeds/115171678520451165/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/10657323/115171678520451165?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10657323/posts/default/115171678520451165'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10657323/posts/default/115171678520451165'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hashmark13.blogspot.com/2006/06/to-call-spade-spade-one-must-call-that.html' title='To Call a Spade a Spade, One Must Call That Spade a Spade!'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10657323.post-115137344025388921</id><published>2006-06-26T18:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-26T18:57:20.280-07:00</updated><title type='text'>BUSH SECRET GOVERNMENT?</title><content type='html'>On a day when the UN is debating whether or not the U.S. has the right to bear arms under our Constitutution and wants our guns banned, I learn this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUSH SETS UP A GOVT WITHIN OUR GOVT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I know why no politician cares to secure our borders. Has any of this been reported in any U.S. Newspaper? Any TV Station?

We have completed the implementation of modifications of rules of origin, covering goods such as household appliances, precious metals, and various machinery and equipment parts. Liberalizing rules of origin reduces administrative burdens by making it easier for exporters to qualify for duty-free treatment under NAFTA. These changes will affect US$20 billion of annual trilateral trade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(Say goodbye to yet more American Jobs!!!)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Temporary Work Entry . The three countries have forwarded a trilateral document setting out each country&#39;s domestic procedures to modify NAFTA&#39;s temporary entry appendix on professionals to the NAFTA Free Trade Commission for approval. This will clarify procedures in each country, thereby providing a mechanism for more &lt;strong&gt;North American &lt;/strong&gt;professionals to be given temporary entry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Public Safety along the U.S.-Mexico Border. The United States and Mexico recently agreed to, over the course of three weeks, identify and target key procedures and guidelines to establish a standardized Alien Smuggler Prosecutions Program along the Southwest border, built upon previous U.S. – Mexico efforts in the Guide Identification Prosecution Program (GIPP), a collaborative effort between CBP and Mexico&#39;s Attorney General Office--Procuraduria General de la Republica (PGR) - to identify and prosecute local guides and alien smugglers who endanger the lives of migrants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(That’s nice but what about the part that states STOPPING THE ILLEGAL FLOW. It isn’t just smugglers. So this is just typical government feel good do nothing bureaucratic chatter.)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Securing &lt;strong&gt;North America &lt;/strong&gt;from External and Internal Threats and further Streamlining the Secure Movement of &lt;strong&gt;Low-Risk Traffic &lt;/strong&gt;across our Shared Borders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Key Themes and Initiatives&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;President Bush, President Fox and Prime Minister Martin &lt;/strong&gt;committed our countries on March 23, 2005, to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“establish a common approach to security to protect &lt;strong&gt;North America &lt;/strong&gt;from external threats, prevent and respond to threats within &lt;strong&gt;North American&lt;/strong&gt;, and to further streamline the secure and efficient movement of legitimate, &lt;strong&gt;low risk traffic &lt;/strong&gt;across our shared border.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(WHAT?????? How about PROTECTING AMERICAN BORDERS??? Where is that? And what is LOW RISK TRAFFIC??? Me thinks this be Illegal Aliens or in today’s speech Immigrants who pay taxes. Illegal doesn&#39;t exist in our government&#39;s parlance.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What bothers me is I did not read anywhere at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spp.gov&quot;&gt;http://www.spp.gov&lt;/a&gt; any statement about AMERICA or AMERICAN.  It was ALL NORTH AMERICA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am buying a gun tomorrow!!! I may need it in the not so far future especially since the UN, the most anti-American establishment in the world (and surprisingly still on our soil) somehow gets to debate our constitution and whether or not I should be allowed to own a handgun.

I also heard it’s hot as hell where he is right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I HAVE been wondering lately about the “We found no WMD’s in Iraq” ad naseum statements made by Democrats. And I wondered this: How could that be? We knew for a fact he had Chemical WMDs and used them on Iranians during his war with them. Hell, we supplied it to him!! We knew for a fact he used it on the Kurds. So with four months prior to the runup of the war he knew was coming, when Bagdad falls, NONE are found!!? Again, it is a FACT he had Chemical weapons. Where did they go? So if they disappeared, what else did? Does anyone remember the truck convoys at night going from Iraq to Syria?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LATELY I have also been thinking about mystical stuff. For example, in every movie about demons and exorcism, the hero goes to the Catholic Church. So I did some research and checked on real paranormal “experts” and a new field called “demonology” and discovered that after these people go to a “haunted” house and cannot help the inflicted, they then compile evidence via recordings and video and guess where they go? To the Catholic Church for permission to get a Priest to perform an exorcism!! They don’t go to Bennie Hine, Pat Robertson or any evangelists. Why is that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I WAS also reading about NDE’s (Near Death Experiences) and those people keep talking about how they saw a white light…a tunnel that led to a white light and how it felt ok…peaceful. And then I remembered a passage from the Bible where Jesus said, “&quot;I am the light of the world, he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” The point is he was talking about himself as being the “light”. So those people who had NDE’s what was the white light?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THEN Sunni Arabs stopped a bus in Iraq recently, separated the Sunni’s from the Shiites and executed the Shiites who were nothing more than kids going to school. Those Sunni’s said “In the name of Islam, we will dig you a mass grave.” And I thought how very thoughtful and kind this religion is. I then went to the New Testament and looked for any time where Jesus said he would kill you and dig you a grave or anything like that. Not there. I wonder why?</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hashmark13.blogspot.com/feeds/114981969278434080/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/10657323/114981969278434080?isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10657323/posts/default/114981969278434080'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10657323/posts/default/114981969278434080'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hashmark13.blogspot.com/2006/06/mystical-musing-and-wmds-again.html' title='MYSTICAL MUSING AND WMDs AGAIN'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10657323.post-114083513827827061</id><published>2006-02-24T18:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-02-24T18:41:40.636-08:00</updated><title type='text'>SO YOU STILL BELIEVE TV?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6956/814/1600/fake.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6956/814/320/fake.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many nights on ABC, NBC, CBS, MSBNC, FOX, and on and on it goes do we see the poor Palestinians being abused by the Israelis?

Kennedy committed what is widely viewed as one of the most ignominious acts in modern American history: he authorized the Federal Bureau of Investigation to begin wiretapping the telephones of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. Kennedy believing that one of King&#39;s closest advisers was a top-level member of the American Communist Party, and that King had repeatedly misled Administration officials about his ongoing close ties with the man. Kennedy acted reluctantly&lt;strong&gt;, and his order remained secret &lt;/strong&gt;until May of 1968, just a few weeks after King&#39;s assassination and a few days before Kennedy&#39;s own. But the FBI onslaught against King that followed Kennedy&#39;s authorization remains notorious, and the stains on the reputations of everyone involved are indelible. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Then Ted Kennedy gets up there and the crowd gives him a standing O?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Folks, read the above again.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;IT WAS HIS BROTHER ATTACKING CORETTA’S HUSBAND!!!!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;My God, the hypocrisy is too damn thick here.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Then the Clintons, the First Black President who sure is the whitest I ever saw, arrived on stage with his wife (or whatever she is to him these days) to a roar from the crowd at the funeral.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Can someone name anyone he placed in a high cabinet position in his eight years that was Black other than Ronald Brown? &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;There are more, but two come to my mind that President Bush has appointed&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And who was a member of the KKK?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Read your history.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Senator Robert K.

The more I read the more I wondered about the “Founder” of Islam and, thus, Islam’s authenticity. After all, anyone can proclaim they have been called by God but it’s the actions thereafter that provide the testament to whether or not that “calling” may have occurred or not or so it seems to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the risk of offending a billion or so Muslims practicing Islam, I am seriously curious why a Muslim would think Muhammad was a prophet. From my readings, the background of Muhammad is suspect. There seems to be no doubt he believed he had a calling from God but what God?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On his journeys to Syria and Palestine he became acquainted with Jews and Christians, and acquired an imperfect knowledge of their religion and traditions. Initially, he was a kind man, addicted to prayer and fasting, and was subject to epileptic fits. In his fortieth year (A.D. 612), he claimed to have received a call from the Angel Gabriel, and thus began his active career as the prophet of Allah and the apostle of Arabia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By his preaching and his attack on heathenism, Mohammed was driven from Mecca to Medina in 622 A.D. At Medina he was recognized as the prophet of God, and his followers increased. He took the &lt;strong&gt;field against his enemies&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;conquered &lt;/strong&gt;several Arabian, Jewish, and Christian tribes, &lt;strong&gt;entered Mecca in triumph &lt;/strong&gt;in 630, &lt;strong&gt;demolished &lt;/strong&gt;the idols of the Kaaba, &lt;strong&gt;became master of Arabia&lt;/strong&gt;, and finally &lt;strong&gt;united all the tribes under one emblem and one religion. &lt;/strong&gt;In 632 he made his last pilgrimage to Mecca at the head of forty thousand followers, and soon after his return died of a violent fever at 63 years of age. He was buried in a hole and there he remained.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whereas the Christians have had a Bible from the beginning, Islam didn’t and doesn’t have an original Qur’an. It was made up supposedly from “memory” and a few scraps found under a bed. This was about 150-200 years after Mohammed died.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word “Islam” does not mean “peace”. &lt;em&gt;It’s a religion of peace”, &lt;/em&gt;the news media keeps shouting. But Islam means “submission” not peace. That is a big difference. And from the face of Islam I see today (since no Iman I have seen or heard denounces a damn thing being done by bombers), Islam seems to be a religion of intimidation, fear and murder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whereas the “Radicals of Islam” today are killing those of us who disagree with their philosophy on life, so did Muhammad. He killed his enemies and all those who disagreed with him (Sura 9:5).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He also appeared to be a hypocrite. From an Islam site, they state about 1400 years ago, Muhammad said in part….. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, he commanded his adopted son to divorce his wife so that she would become his. (Sura 33:36-38)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it goes on. The face of Islam we see today seems to mirror Muhammah’s philosphy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recently read: Christians &amp; Jewish martyrs say; &quot;I will die for what I believe&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;A Muslim martyr says; &quot;Yu will die for what I believe&quot;....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I ask in all seriousness, why does a Muslim belive Muhammah to be a prophet?

I ask you, is there yet peace in the Middle East?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now with the Iran going Nuclear (and make no mistake about it, they are), the moniker, “Peace in the Middle East” is over.  If the West allows Iran to go Nuclear, I fear the only slogan we shall be ranting in the future is “No more war!”  which is exactly what the Mullahs want to hear from the west. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iran knows the UN is impotent.  Iran knows Russia is up to their neck in their nuclear program thus Russia now interjecting some stupid deal about making nuclear power in Russia then ship it back to Iran.  If anyone believes this, you really drank to much in the past and thus killed far too many brain cells or you are just not understanding the chess game under way.  And right now, the knights, bishops and castles are moving rapidly toward the West.  Once Iran is “nuked”, they will strike with that Queen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what will the West and/or Europe do when Iran nukes Isarel?  First, it is too late for all those people.  Second, it is too late to put the genie back in the bottle.  Third, the mantra “Peace in the Middle East” will be forever silent.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hashmark13.blogspot.com/feeds/113832222280466645/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/10657323/113832222280466645?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10657323/posts/default/113832222280466645'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10657323/posts/default/113832222280466645'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hashmark13.blogspot.com/2006/01/irans-rise-to-world-power.html' title='Iran&#39;s Rise to World Power'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10657323.post-113338459541672839</id><published>2005-11-30T12:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-11-30T13:03:15.433-08:00</updated><title type='text'>America Hangs in the Balance</title><content type='html'>How?

Four years after 9/11, the TSA still strip searches grandma and lets Abdulla Abdulla walk right on the plane. And now, the TSA has decided scissors, knives and such are again OK to bring onboard planes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Believe me, one more plane goes down and our Airline industry is in the can. That leads to airline layoffs and snowballs to businesses, then to their employee layoffs, then to more businesses that cater to businesses that cater to airlines, then to businesses that need the airlines to DO business, then more employee layoffs and more and more and downward cycle begins leading to recession and possibly worst.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can anyone tell me what the hell our government is doing to &quot;really&quot; protect its citizens per its duty as defined in the Constitution?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-hashmark</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hashmark13.blogspot.com/feeds/113338459541672839/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/10657323/113338459541672839?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10657323/posts/default/113338459541672839'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10657323/posts/default/113338459541672839'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hashmark13.blogspot.com/2005/11/america-hangs-in-balance.html' title='America Hangs in the Balance'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10657323.post-113218062963167505</id><published>2005-11-11T21:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-11-16T14:37:09.633-08:00</updated><title type='text'>To Those Serving and Those Who Serve At Home</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6956/814/1600/Vet20003.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6956/814/320/Vet20003.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands,one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Also interesting is how the BBC is calling them &quot;youths&quot;. This isn&#39;t just a little riot. And one would think it was Parisians rioting by reading the BBC. Not true. These are MUSLIM YOUTHS. As many as 69 cars were reportedly set on fire in nine towns in the Seine-Saint-Denis region. A police union spokesman says a Paris suburb is seeing &#39;civil war.&quot; As of this writing, Paris is on its SIXTH night of riots or maybe the beginning of Jihad to overthrow France!! Think that is out of the question? Then remember the document intercepted that detailed the global &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dni.gov/release_letter_101105.html&quot;&gt;STRATEGY &lt;/a&gt;of these jihadist schmucks and then maybe you will understand we are indeed in a world war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In &lt;strong&gt;INDONESIA&lt;/strong&gt;, there is this: Hundreds of security forces patrolled tense streets in the Indonesian province of central Sulawesi yesterday to prevent revenge attacks after assailants wearing black veils beheaded three Christian schoolgirls and seriously wounded a fourth. National police spokesman Major-General Aryanto Budihardjo said the murders were carried out by &quot;terrorists&quot; seeking to destabilise the area, which has long been plagued by violence between Muslims and Christians. He said it was no coincidence the attack occurred just days before the biggest holiday on the Islamic calendar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I won&#39;t post the picture of the girl beheaded but believe me, she was just a girl. Yes, indeed, these are real, brave men, the Islamo Facist Pigs!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In &lt;strong&gt;UZBEKISTAN&lt;/strong&gt;, you have &lt;a href=&quot;http://clarityandresolve.com/archives/2005/05/worldwide_jihad.php&quot;&gt;this.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In &lt;strong&gt;PAKISTAN&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodnewsetc.com/053MIS2.htm&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CHECHNYA&lt;/strong&gt;: Separatism or Jihad? In early 1995, numerous foreign mujahadeen arrived in Chechnya to assist the separatist movement, and there have been foreigners there ever since. Their contribution on the battlefield and their influence in the political situation within the Chechen resistance is not clear and has often been politically manipulated by all sides in the conflict.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HOLLAND&lt;/strong&gt;: Nine days of violence in the Netherlands have put pressure on an immigrant society once seen as a model for Europe. Two societies that once lived quietly amongst each other have shifted into open revolt -- bringing out the worst of both, right-wing reactionaries and Islamic extremists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The news coming out of Holland these days is distressing. The images are even worse: A filmmaker lying murdered on an Amsterdam street with a note stabbed into his chest. A Muslim school burning to the ground following a religiously motivated arson attack. A schoolroom in a Catholic school engulfed in flames, likewise the victim of a Molotov cocktail. A mosque smeared with swastikas. &quot;We have to get used to the fact that Holland isn&#39;t an island of peace anymore,&quot; says Adjiedj Bakas, a close friend of the murdered van Gogh. &quot;We are in the middle of a Jihad. We have to understand that there are turbulent times ahead for us.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ENGLAND:&lt;/strong&gt; You know what happened there. BOOM!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SPAIN&lt;/strong&gt;: You know what happened there also. BOOM and then appeasement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PHILLIPINES&lt;/strong&gt;: For several decades now, the Philippine central government has been bedeviled by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), a group dedicated to winning independence for the nation’s Muslim areas (chiefly Mindanao, the second-largest of the Philippine islands) by force of arms. The MILF is determined to establish an independent Moro Islamic State, and, like Hamas and Islamic Jihad half a world away, will accept no negotiations or half-measures. It is jihad to the death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IRAN&lt;/strong&gt;: You heard the President&#39;s statement, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr Ahmadinejad told some 3,000 students in Tehran that Israel&#39;s establishment had been a move by the West against the Islamic world. He was addressing a conference entitled The World without Zionism and his comments were reported by the Iranian state news agency Irna.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;As the Imam said, &lt;strong&gt;Israel must be&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;wiped off the map&lt;/strong&gt;,&quot; he said, referring to Iran&#39;s late revolutionary leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out what Iranian children are &lt;a href=&quot;http://memritv.org/search.asp?ACT=S9&amp;amp;P1=906&quot;&gt;shown&lt;/a&gt;: Click on VIEW CLIP to see the &quot;children&#39;s cartoon&quot;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IRAQ&lt;/strong&gt;: Full scale war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SYRIA&lt;/strong&gt;: Supports Jihad in Iraq. Also Rockets fired at southern Israeli community in recent days ordered by Islamic Jihad headquarters in Damascus. Textbooks in the Islamic world calls for Jihad and support for the elimination of Israel and is entrenched in every level of Syria&#39;s school system. By age 15, Syrian children are read in their Islamic studies textbooks that Jews deserve to be liquidated: Co-existence with them or having them as neighbors, is an enormous danger that threatens Islamic and Arab existence with destruction and extinction. Their criminal intention should be turned against them by way of their elimination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the danger continues. Not just from outside the U.S. but from within. When our media will not tell US the real story but would rather tear at the Bush Administration, we as a nation are in trouble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-hashmark</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hashmark13.blogspot.com/feeds/113217977892971151/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/10657323/113217977892971151?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10657323/posts/default/113217977892971151'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10657323/posts/default/113217977892971151'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hashmark13.blogspot.com/2005/11/west-under-attack.html' title='WEST UNDER ATTACK'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
