A cancer on our prosperity: Miners threaten Rudd with an investment strike

After penalizing you for drinking & smoking, squandering the wealth of the nation and setting houses on fire, Australia’s unbearable  king of spin,  Kevin Rudd, throws your taxpayer dollars at a study of mens health. Do you feel better already?

Hey KRudd: I also have a working family. How ’bout you tax yours first? Feel you’re being spun? For masochists, here you go: Kevin Rudd’s Working Families Ringtone.

Ah, before I forget:

There is also $6 million for indigenous health projects. (Is that booked as payoff, handout,  tribute or bribe?)

Get your barf bag or bring out the pitch forks!

Wow. Nice work if you can get it – for a $25 million fee. How grateful would the consultants be to such a generous patron?

THE Rudd government will finally release a study into the economics and implementation of the $43 billion national broadband network today, two months after it received the findings.

Brigitte Gabriel: Reaction to Times Square terror arrest 'ridiculous'

Chad Groening – OneNewsNow

A national defense advocate and terrorism expert wasn’t surprised that an Islamic man has been arrested in connection with the failed terrorist plot in New York City.

Attorney General Eric Holder says the suspect in last week’s failed Times Square car bombing has admitted his role in the nearly catastrophic attack. Faisal Shahzad, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Pakistan, is under arrest for the failed bombing. Holder reports that while Shahzad is talking to investigators, he has provided valuable information and faces charges for terrorism and weapons of mass destruction.

Brigitte GabrielBrigitte Gabriel, founder and president of ACT! for America and author of the New York Times bestseller They Must Be Stopped: Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How We Can Do It, is not surprised with the details of the plot.

“Right now they are talking about ten people involved with him in carrying [out] this attack,” she regards. “Some have been arrested or are under surveillance here, and some have been arrested already in Pakistan. So those of us who monitor this issue, who understand this issue, it was very easy to predict what the outcome of this was going to be.”

Free the Dudley 2!

British Police Blackmailed by Muslims

Who were the police who arrested them? Did the BMP send their Mohammedan soldiers to do the dirty work? Why were the peaceful protestors manhandled and why are they still in the slammer?

Both of the roof protesters at the planned mosque site in Dudley (PI Reported) are still not free. “Leon” was “entitled” to receive a black eye and a broken arm by the “friendly” treatment of the police when he was arrested. Together with “Snowy,” he is charged with burglary and “religious hatred”. [more]

From Jihad Watch:

Trying to prevent the jihadists from murdering Brits?

For background on the EDL demonstration in Dudley, see Pamela Geller’s article here. And now Pamela reports over at Atlas Shrugs:

Senior EDL leadership has advised me that “the two lads both went on the roof in perfect health, now one of the protesters, Leon, has a broken arm and a black eye due to a vicious beating by police. To add insult to injury they have both been remanded in custody until their court date. They have been charged with burglary and inciting religious hatred. This is because they played the Islamic call to prayer, and the kufar are not allowed to do this.”Join this Facebook Group Now: Free the Dudley 2

I reported here that thousands of muslims were rioting in Dudley and muslim gangs were wilding with knives as the EDL staged their rooftop protest of the monster mosque.

Why Would Anyone Want to Blow Up Times Square?

Desperately wishing Islamic terrorism has nothing to do with Islam:

Daniel Pipes

Daniel Pipes:  You can’t win a war if you don’t have the courage to name the enemy.

When news comes of Muslims engaging in violence, the triad of politicians, law enforcement, and media invariably presumes that the perpetrator suffers from some mental or emotional incapacity. (For a quick listing of examples, see my collection at “Sudden Jihad or ‘Inordinate Stress’ at Ft. Hood?“).

Instead, I argue, they should begin with a presumption of jihadi intent. That is, the default expectation should be ideological passion, not insanity. Spreading Islam and applying Islamic law are the goals. Of course, some crazy Muslims exist and they do engage in violence, but they constitute a microscopic percentage of the 15,247 Muslim terrorist incidents since 9/11, as counted bywww.thereligionofpeace.com.

The failed effort to blow up an SUV in New York’s Times Square prompted speculation about the would-be bomber’s motives even before the identity of Faisal Shahzad, an immigrant from Pakistan, had been made public. The Nation‘s Robert Dreyfuss discounted the possibility of a jihadi from the Pakistan-based Taliban, “it seems far more likely to me [he] was either a lone nut job or a member of some squirrely branch of the Tea Party, anti-government far right.”

Then, just hours after Shahzad had been arrested, authorities rushed to assure the public his action had nothing to do with Islam. Examples from May 4:

Religion of Hatred Blames English Defense League for…. Hatred

Projection. The essence of Mohammedanism….

THE leader of Dudley Muslim Association has accused the English Defence League of provoking religious hatred over his group’s plans for a new mosque in the town.

Birmingham Mail

Nine Mosques in Dudley. Not Enough?

Chairman Dr Khurshid Ahmed said far-right protesters, who staged a mock call-to-prayer in a rooftop protest on Monday, had been “un-English” in their lack of respect for the law.

He said: “This was not a protest – this was wilful incitement to religious hatred by playing that loud call-to-prayer.

“The people of Dudley have nine mosques and have never experienced a call as loud as that – or anywhere in Britain. (WTF they need NINE mosques? Are they nutz? That’s 9 too many already, what for do they need more?)

“Our call to prayer can only be heard within the parameters of the mosque.” (that’s because Muslims are not yet strong enough to dominate. Once they do, they call the shots and the volume increases…/ed)

More of the same:

‘The EDL targeted the Muslim community with their hatred’– sounds almost as if Islam was nothing more than love and flower power…..

Unbelievable. State Run Media Completely Lost On Motive Driving Faisal Shahzad To Blow Up Times Square

The result of higher education in the US of A…..

It’s as if 9-11 never happened.
It’s as if the word “jihad” is completely foreign to them.
It’s as if they’ve never been warned about this threat to American security.

The  AP is perplexed. The news organization has no clue why a college educated Pakistani-born US Muslim would want to blow up Times Square in New York City. It’s as if this was the first time ever they’ve witnessed something like this.   This is like stepping into a Twilight Zone movie.  They really can’t be that blind. Can they? And yet, unfortunately, we have a president who is just as clueless to this threat facing America.

(I disagree totally. Obama is a Muslim. He is the Manchurian candidate. He is not clueless, he does what he does deliberately…/ed)

Backlash, baby! Backlash!

Faisal Shahzad seemed to be living the American dream, with a wife, two children, and a nice house in the Conneticut suburbs. (WTF is his brood now?)

By Anwar Iqbal/DAWN

You know the drill. They are the victims. What have we done to make them hate us! A resident Islamo-shill from Puff Ho tells us that it was a Muslim who saved NY. (I have written to her asking for proof/ed) America’s leftist apology brigades have their knickers in a twist to explain the motives of the bomber, far left news casters are almost in tears that there are no “fundamentalist Christian terrorists” available to blame it on, and the Jewish mayor of NYC, Michael Bloomberg, just can’t think of anything that made the terrorist do what he did: “a mentally deranged person or somebody with a political agenda that doesn’t like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.”

Bloomberg then issues a stern warning: “We will not tolerate any bias or backlash against Pakistani or Muslim New Yorkers,” much in the tradition of America’s Muslim POTUS Obama, who already declared that he “will stand with the Muslims should the political wind shift in an ugly direction…”

We are a society of cowards. We are f*kced!

WASHINGTON: A Pakistani-American girl, only 12, refused to go to school on Tuesday, saying she fears other students will ask her questions about the suspect held in New York for a failed attempt to bomb Times Square.

FBI investigators remove evidence from the former home of Pakistani-American Faisal Shahzad on Sheridan Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut, May 4, 2010. Shahzad admitted to trying to detonate a bomb in New York’s busy Times Square and receiving bomb-making training in a known Taliban and al-Qaeda stronghold in Pakistan, US prosecutors said. — Reuters

Another girl, 11, went to school when her mother persuaded her to but the mother had to go back to school during the lunch break to counsel her.

A 53-year old man throttled his laughter at a dinner in a Virginia restaurant as a US television channel identified the suspect as a Pakistani-American. “That’s it. We are cooked,” he remarked.

“Sad, very sad,” said Maleeha Lodhi, a former Pakistani ambassador to the US and Britain who is now working on a book in Washington. “It will hurt all Pakistanis, particularly those living in the United States.”

The Pakistani American Public Affairs Committee condemned the Times Square attempted bomb plot and appreciated the efforts of the US enforcement agencies for saving hundreds of lives.

“PAKPAC is shocked and saddened to learn that the prime suspect is of Pakistani heritage,” said a statement issued in Washington.

Riots in Greece, 3 dead, banks are burning….

Update:

Killing for the right to bludge off the state

Andrew Bolt

People are being murdered by Leftists determined to protect unaffordable rorts and perks that are bankrupting Greece:

A FIRE-BOMB attack on a bank in Athens left at least three people dead as police fought pitched battles with striking protesters furious at brutal spending cuts designed to avoid national bankruptcy.

Hooded youths hurled petrol bombs at stores and businesses in the Greek capital, setting the bank and two government buildings ablaze…

Athens underground stations were shuttered and the international airport deserted as tens of thousands of union members rallied on the eve of a vote in parliament on the planned cuts and tax hikes… Hundreds of thousands of civil servants kicked off the protests and a group of about 200 communists also stormed Athens Acropolis, unfurling banners reading “Peoples of Europe, Rise Up”.

The “anti-austerity” riots in Greece

Last March, I spotlighted the rule of the mob in Britain and the spread of left-wing vigilantes across Europe. Big Labor bosses in the U.S. have expressed solidarity for their union brethren’s “struggle” and helped foment chaos. May Day mayhem took hold here — and abroad.

Convenient moral blindness

Pamela Geller: The Rise of the Jewicides

“The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.” Dante Alighieri

The long march of leftist anti-semites and stealth jihadists into our universities and schools has cast its poisonous spell over the young and the stupid. It is, of course, evidence of the freedoms afforded Jewish people — even the freedom not to think. You never see such dissent or vocal criticism of Islam and sharia among Muslims. One or two maybe, but it’s always couched in taqiya — they wouldn’t want a fatwa, would they?

Caroline Glick

Moral blindness in the face of evil is depravity. But in the upside-down moral universe of our world today, moral blindness has become a badge of honor. If you refuse to call evil by its name, then you are a moderate. And if you stand up to evil, you are yourself an extremist.
