Tonight: Van Jones’s new “American Dream Movement” is a totally spontaneous idea he had after seeing the chaos going on in the Middle East. That’s fantastic..except the idea for this movement was actually developed in 2008 at a conference attended by Jones and multiple union supporters. The big theme of the night’s show, and something that Glenn has been talking about for a few days now, was knowing who you are standing with. Glenn encouraged both President Obama and the protesters to really look at the people they are aligning themselves with. Don’t miss tomorrow’s show..it will be a treat

94% of illegal welfare seekers arriving by boat get their residency

(the rest sleeps with the fish..?)

Of course our inept Immigration Minister thinks it’s good and that the numbers of visas granted to the illegal arrivals are getting somewhat smaller.

ALMOST all asylum-seekers arriving in Australia waters over the past three years have had their refugee status applications approved, adding weight to claims that people-smugglers are taking advantage of the federal government’s immigration policies.

A spokesman for Immigration Minister Chris Bowen said the recognition of asylum-seeker claims was made independently and on a case by case basis.

“Recognition rates do move around from time to time and have fallen since the beginning of 2010,” he said. (source)

A case by case basis????

What case is he talking about?

In the past three days – in the wake of reports that some members of the Liberal-National Party had begun to pay attention to the unhappiness of their non-Muslim constituents as regards Islam and were wondering whether there may not be Votes to be gained in that quarter, and the plain speaking of politicians such as Cory Bernardi, and the release of a study on ‘racism’ that shows (seemingly) that some 48 % of Australians have ‘anti-Muslim’ feelings ( never mind that Islam is an ideology not an ethnos, so the fact that those conducting the study included questions about Islam and Muslims in a survey allegedly studying ‘racism’ doesn’t say much for their academic credentials), there has been a flurry of activity in the press.

The Muslims and Islamophiles are rushing to defend Muslims, representing Muslims in Australia as poor persecuted victims of evil racist Islamophobic bullies; politicians are ducking and dodging (even Mr Bernardi has backpedalled somewhat, alas); and the comments sections of newspapers and the ABC are hopping like ants’ nests (many of the comments still reveal total cluelessness, or are Muslims and their dhimmis spinning like mad; but sprinkled amongst the naive and the apologists are others that reveal that a good deal of the anti-Muslim feeling so deplored by the producers of that study on ‘racism’ is the result not of ignorance but of knowledge: knowledge of Muslim texts, knowledge of how Muslims generally treat non-Muslims).

To give some idea of what has erupted Down Under in the past week, I will post here, over the next day or so, some of the more telling items; closing with columnist Andrew Bolt’s blast of commonsense as regards the one million dollars that the Federal Government is allocating to try to prevent Muslim young people from becoming ‘extremists’, that is, from Going Jihad.

I will begin my series with two  reports on the results of the ‘racism’ study, one from the ABC and one from the Courier Mail.

The ABC:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/02/23/3146427.htm?section=justin

‘Nearly half of Australians are anti-Muslim: study’.

‘A decade-long national study has found that nearly 50 percent of Australians identify themselves as having anti-Muslim attitudes.

‘Researchers from universities across the country polled thousands of people about their attitudes to different cultures and whether they had experienced racism.

Query. ‘Race’ is genetic; you don’t get to choose.  Culture is a construct, a thing chosen and deliberately produced and maintained. The people doing this study appear to have conflated two entirely different things.  It is one thing to fear or even hate a person who appears physically different due to skin colour, etc, things over which the person has no control; it is another to fear that person because of behaviours that are learned, taught, and consciously persisted in, and which can be changed, and replaced with other behaviours. – CM.

Liar in chief: Jooliar Dillard

80 per cent of Australians at the last election voted for parties that specifically promised not to impose a carbon tax. One of those parties lied.

YOUR Prime Minister  Joooliah lied six months ago and she lied again yesterday about a useless new green tax that will drive up your power bills.

Here she is with Alan Jones who rips her a new one (a pleasure to listen, he really lets fly)

Here she lies again:   Gillard flip-flops on carbon tax

Gillard refuses even to explain her big lie

Update: “The Lies Are Necessary”- the enemedia backs the liars:

• Journalists agree: politics “requires” this deceit

Your economy in their hands

Dennis Shanahan on the rabble now ruling Australia, and deciding that what it needs is a great, green and utterly useless tax:

Can you tell who is the PM of Australia?

Tim Blair:

Seriously. Just look at them.

Terry McCrann:

Gillard’s carbon tax will not only push up electricity prices; it will increase the price of everything.

Professor Bob Carter:

It is difficult to decide whether to be more astonished by the scientific ignorance or the political stupidity inherent in today’s announcement by the Prime Minister and her Multi-party Climate Change Committee (MCCC) that a tax on carbon dioxide emissions will be introduced on July 1st, 2012.

Beware of Bob Brown’s “green jobs”

At yesterday’s joint press conference to announce a new carbon tax, Greens leader Bob Brown claimed that Germany showed how switching to green power would create thousands of jobs.

In fact, the US Center for Policy Analysis warns that creating green jobs with massive public subsidies actually kills jobs elsewhere in the private sector, as we’ve seen in Spain, Denmark and Germay: Six studies cited in the report found that the net job effect of Germany’s green job policies were either negligible or negative.

The great commie plan to disown property owners in the guise of ‘human rights’ is becoming reality:

UK: European Human Rights: Rent Arrests Tenant Cannot be Evicted Rules Judge

Eviction of a ‘tenant from hell’ has always been difficult for European property owners. Now, with a full blown, unelected Marxist EU government making the rules, it is only a matter of time before the civil society collapses and the proletariat rules.

Evicing a woman from her council home for failing to pay rent would breach her human rights, judges ruled yesterday.  (Daily Mail via GoV)

Town Hall chiefs wanted to evict Rebecca Powell, who receives thousands of pounds in benefits, after she ran up more than £3,500 in arrears on the accommodation she was given because she was homeless.

But the Supreme Court said that — under the controversial European Convention on Human Rights — this would be a breach of the right to ‘respect for a person’s home’.

Council leaders and the Government had fought the case and fear it may now be harder to evict thousands of council tenants who fall into arrears.

Obama & his Pro-Marxist Mentor Jeremiah Wright are Linked to Gaddafi (GWP)

WoJ readers know that a video surfaced in 2009 showing Hussein Obama’s pastor and mentor praising Marxism and discussing his ties to communists in El Salvador and Nicaragua and the Libyan government.
This speech by Wright was delivered less than two years ago on September 17, 2009.

Another reason is that they have close friends in common. In 1984 Jeremiah Wright — Obama’s spiritual mentor for over 20 years — traveled to Libya to kiss Gaddafi’s ring as part of an anti-American propaganda junket that also included radical pal Louis Farrakhan.

Obama Condemns Violence in Libya But Doesn’t Mention Gaddafi

Obama said the bloodshed in Libya was “outrageous and unacceptable,” but he declined to directly censure Libyan leader Col. Moammar Gadhafi who has been blamed for much of the violent crackdown.

Obama’s generous support for Gaddafi ‘charities’

Last year, right around the time Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi called Obama “our son,” Obama earmarked $400,000 for two Libyan charities. The money was divided between two foundations run by Gaddafi’s children; Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation, run by his son Saif, and Wa Attassimou, run by his daughter Aicha.  What noble causes did our tax dollars potentially help support thanks to Obama’s generosity?

“Community Outreach Operation”

A police captain filed a lawsuit Wednesday against his employers, alleging that he was wrongly disciplined for refusing to order subordinates to attend an upcoming event at an Islamic center in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

This courageous police captain was initially disciplined for refusing to require his subordinates to attend an event at a Muslim Brotherhood mosque in Tulsa. So he filed a federal suit against the Tulsa Police Department asking for $1 in damages on each of two claims. This guy has principles.

By Stephanie Samuel|Christian Post

Capt. Paul Fields, a 16-year police veteran, is suing the Tulsa Police Department (TPD) for allegedly infringing on his rights.

“We want to make it very clear; it’s not related just because it’s a mosque. [That] hasn’t anything to do with his ultimate decision,” said Field’s attorney, Scott Wood, in an interview with NewsOn6.com.

“It has to do with the intersection of religious rights of an individual to not associate with other people if they choose not to.”

The Real Obama:  Overwhelming the System to Destroy Capitalism and Freedom.

Wayne Allyn Root

Hussein Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he’s doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos — thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.

Barack Obama is my college classmate ( Columbia University , class of ’83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University . They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they’re alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival … and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”

Omar Bakri advises Jews not to support Israel:

“We advise Jews here to keep apart from the conflict,”(and I thought the bastard was in jail…)

“Police appeared reluctant to prosecute because the calls to fight the Jews were carefully couched in quotes from the Koran. One said that the Government was afraid of provoking a Muslim backlash.”

That’s wrong: the quote “The Final Hour will not come until the Muslims kill the Jews” is not in the Koran, but in the hadith…..

Devout Muslim Backs ‘kill Jews’ poster

AN Islamic extremist has defended a leaflet and poster campaign exhorting British Muslims to “kill the Jews” and wage a holy war against Israel.

Jewish leaders are demanding the prosecution of those responsible and seeking talks with Jack Straw, the Home Secretary. However, Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohamed, the leader of the Islamic fundamentalist group al-Muhajiroun, said its leaflets, which have appeared in London, Manchester and Birmingham, were merely a warning not to support the state of Israel.

Concerns that the material would inflame relations between Muslims and Jews were heightened this week when a 20-year-old Jew was stabbed on a bus in Stamford Hill, an area of north London which is home to a large community of Orthodox jews.

Because the call for Jewish genocide is part of Islam, authorities are reluctant to prosecute. Submission. Outrageous, disgusting surrender beneath contempt. It makes these cowards lower than those calling for murder.

By Peter Foster and Philip Aldrick, Telegraph:

Extremist backs ‘kill Jews’ poster

David Lidington, the shadow home office minister, said: “Whoever is responsible for this should be investigated. I would say the same if these posters were directed against British Muslims.”

You don’t say, David. You don’t say…….

What’s galling is the Jews that kiss the ass of their would-be executioners, prostrate before them and inter-faith dialogue themselves to an early grave while demonizing truthtellers like me. (Pamela Geller)
