Free Republic

U.S. District Judge Ricardo M. Urbina has ordered 17 Chinese Muslims to be freed from Guantanamo Bay and be allowed to take up residence within the USA. This must be some kind of liberal logic. We capture them on the battle field in another continent and then we allow them to roam free here. Sure sounds like a good deal for them, but not so much for us. Did it ever cross the judge's mind that they might not be so loyal to our country after being locked up for nearly 7 years?

The mainstream media has justified ignoring this story based on a “conspiracy theory” chain email (politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/465) making the rounds from some African missionaries. Politifact.com examined the email—which claims Obama gave $1MM to Odinga’s campaign—and declared it “a pants on fire”. However, the underlying (more important issues) are verifiably true. In August and September 2006, Senator Barack Obama traveled to South Africa, Chad, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Chad and Kenya as a congressional delegation of one (Codel Obama) (“Codel Obama” The Hill 9/7/2006) While in Kenya, Obama consistently appeared at the side of fellow Luo Raila Odinga (“your agent for change’), who was...

Hidden in a remote area off a primitive dirt road lies a mysterious 70-acre compound in which more than 100 Muslims live in seclusion, following the teachings of its founder, a radical cleric with alleged ties to terrorism. It's neither a Taliban stronghold outside Jalalabad, nor an extremist madrassa on the outskirts of Karachi. It's a place called Islamberg, a closed and seemingly quiet More..community at the foot of the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York, about three hours north of Manhattan. It's also a compound shrouded in local rumors, mystery — and fear — sitting near the huge reservoir...

Two NHS doctors plotted "indiscriminate and wholesale" murder with car bomb attacks on London and Glasgow Airport, Woolwich Crown Court has heard. Prosecutors say Dr Bilal Abdulla was in a car filled with explosives which rammed the terminal in June last year. He and Kafeel Ahmed, now dead, are also said to have left cars full of explosive material in central London. Dr Abdulla, 29, and Dr Mohammed Asha, 27, deny conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause explosions. Prosecutor Jonathan Laidlaw QC told the court that the men were motivated by revenge for how they believed the UK was...

Bribes paid for Corsi to escape from KenyaInsider reports thousands given to 'various officials' Posted: October 08, 2008 11:35 pm Eastern © 2008 WorldNetDaily LONDON – Bribes totaling thousands of dollars were paid to facilitate WND senior staff reporter Jerome Corsi's departure from Kenya after immigration authorities there detained him and his publicist – holding them under armed guard and without food – to prevent Corsi from holding a news conference revealing what he had discovered about Barack Obama's controversial ties in the African nation. **SNIP** Corsi was set to show Obama and Odinga have been in direct contact since...

Imagine the excitement of the mainstream media if they had discovered that some preacher up in Alaska had declared Sarah Palin to be like a deity? Well, the same basic thing happened when the Supreme Minister of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, declared Barack Obama to be a messiah as you can see in this video. I believe this messianic pronouncement by Farrakhan was made last February but the video was uploaded to YouTube just yesterday. Better save this video before it gets scrubbed by the Thought Police. I don't know which is creepier, the pronouncement of Obama as...

Corsi on the radio now...listen

Transfixed by the two-candidate "horse race," maybe we didn't focus precisely on what happened in the home stretch of the last Democratic debate when Barack Obama tried to pick and nuance his way through a straight-ahead question from MSNBC's Tim Russert. Q: Do you accept the support of Louis Farrakhan? The question arose because the longtime racist and anti-Semitic leader of the racist and anti-Semitic Nation of Islam had delivered a two-hour speech devoted mainly to praising Obama's candidacy. Here is Obama's answer: "You know, I have been very clear in my denunciation of Minister Farrakhan's anti-Semitic comments. I think...

10/9/2008 Farrakhan calls Obama "the messiah"

Sen. Obama isn't just wrong on the top foreign policy issues of Iraq, Iran and Russia, but also on virtually every other one that comes to mind. His strongest position is on Pakistan, where he advocates launching strikes on terrorists identified in that country if the government is unable or unwilling to go after them. This is an honorable position, although openly stating such an intention has extremely negative diplomatic repercussions and threatens the stability of the Pakistani government, which could allow radical Muslims to have an even greater safe harbor. Such statements are meant to be made in private,...

Raila Odinga's official website: Your "Agent of Change" (no joke)http://www.raila07.com/

1 January 2008Genocide Watch has called a Genocide Alert because of genocidal massacres that are increasing daily in Kenya in the wake of a disputed election between President Mwai Kibaki, who is a member of the Kikuyu ethnic group, and Mr. Raila Odinga, who is ethnically a Luo. Ethnic riots have broken out in Nairobi, Kisumu, Eldoret, and numerous other places in Kenya. People have been pulled from their cars and their identification cards checked for their names, which symbolize their ethnic identity, and then killed if they belong to groups being targeted.  Hundreds of people have already been murdered. ...

A FReeper asked me if I could post this video. We both agree that it is very creepy in that Farrakhan calls Obama the messiah as thousands listen intently.

LONDON – Bribes totaling thousands of dollars were paid to facilitate WND senior staff reporter Jerome Corsi's departure from Kenya after immigration authorities there detained him and his publicist – holding them under armed guard and without food – to prevent Corsi from holding a news conference revealing what he had discovered about Barack Obama's controversial ties in the African nation. Confirmation of the payments comes just as a report from Kenya Broadcasting Corp. admitted it was politics, not the contrived paperwork reason, for which Corsi was detained. According to copies of e-mails obtained by WND, a resident of Kenya...

Sen. Barack Obama “is lying” when he insists that he has never prayed in a mosque and was never a Muslim, a prominent Middle East expert and journalist says. Daniel Pipes, founder of the Middle East Forum think tank, says he fully accepts that Obama is a Christian now. But there is strong evidence that Obama received a Muslim upbringing during his years in Indonesia, Pipes said.

At the same time the Bush administration was negotiating a still elusive agreement to keep the U.S. military in Iraq, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama tried to convince Iraqi leaders in private conversations that the president shouldn't be allowed to enact the deal without congressional approval.

Hope this isn't duplicate - I did search first.

Iran row looms over release of Fowzi Badavi Nejad Oct.10, 2008 The only surviving terrorist from the 1980 siege of the Iranian Embassy in London is to be freed within days amid fears that his release will trigger a diplomatic row with Iran. Fowzi Badavi Nejad will be released and allowed to stay in Britain, but Iran wants him returned to Tehran to face trial for the murder of two hostages killed during the siege. The Foreign Office has failed to win assurances that Nejad would not suffer torture or death if he were returned on his release after serving...

There is real danger that Islamic extremist groups such as al-Qaida and Hezbollah could form alliances with wealthy and powerful Latin American drug lords to launch new terrorist attacks, U.S. officials said Wednesday. Extremist group operatives have already been identified in several Latin American countries, mostly involved in fundraising and finding logistical support. But Charles Allen, chief of intelligence analysis at the Homeland Security Department, said they could use well-established smuggling routes and drug profits to bring people or even weapons of mass destruction to the U.S. "The presence of these people in the region leaves open the possibility that...

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Oct. 9, 2008 – NATO should go after the drug trade in Afghanistan to take away funding for the Taliban and al-Qaida, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said here today. NATO defense ministers are discussing counter-narcotics operations in Afghanistan aimed at drug lords and drug laboratories, and a range of opinions has emerged, he said. Some countries have concerns that getting involved in a counter-narcotics mission in any way violates the NATO International Security Assistance Force mandate in the country, Gates said. “My approach was … we’re not talking about a counter-narcotics strategy – that really is the...

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9, 2008 – Coalition forces detained two suspected terrorists during operations today, further dismantling al-Qaida in Iraq's network in and around Mosul, military officials reported. South of Mosul, coalition forces captured a wanted man believed to facilitate the movement of foreign terrorists into the area. Reports also suggest that he has connections with local al-Qaida leaders. Forces operating in Mosul targeted a wanted man believed to have multiple links with local al-Qaida operatives. One suspect was detained during the operation. In operations yesterday: -- Multinational Division Baghdad soldiers arrested a suspected Iranian-bakd illegal militia member and confiscated his...

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Oct. 9, 2008 – NATO will send its Standing Naval Maritime Group to the waters off Somalia, a spokesman for the alliance said today. James Appathurai told reporters at a news conference that the decision came out of the defense ministerial conference under way here. Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates is meeting with his NATO counterparts. Piracy off Somalia’s coast has become an increasing concern, highlighted by the recent taking of the Ukrainian cargo vessel Faina. The ship is carrying tanks and other military supplies. The pirates, who operate from small boats launched from the beach, also have...

I was surprised by the obvious poor understanding of the real nature of "Al Qaeda" and the wider threat of Islamo-terrorism shown by the "citizen of the world" B.H.Obama. When Mr.O. repeatedly speaks of fighting Al Qaeda in AFGHANISTAN/PAKISTAN and about finding Ben Laden ,he seems(feigns) to consider that "Al Qaeda" is a kind of Company which Head Office would be located in PAKISTAN and its Boss named Ben Laden. Mr. NO. doesn't seem ,or don't want,to see the real nature and level of the world-wide Islamo-fascism-terrorism and tries to reduce it to one man. It is lame and actually...

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Oct. 9, 2008 – Meetings with NATO and troop-contributing nations making up the alliance’s International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan will help chart the way ahead in the troubled nation, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said here today. Gates is participating in a NATO defense ministers conference. Among the day’s highlights was a ceremony in Kossuth Square to welcome home soldiers from Hungary, Bulgaria, Croatia and Slovakia from service in Afghanistan. The 240 soldiers served under Hungarian command in the provincial reconstruction team at Pol-e-Khomri. NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer called the NATO operation in Afghanistan...

Pakistan has dispatched its top finance officials on a mission to raise billions of dollars from its closest allies in a last ditch bid to stave off bankruptcy. Shaukat Tareen, the prime minister's finance adviser, and Shamshad Akhtar, the governor of the central bank, have travelled to Washington to secure £6 billion American and British-backed lifeline. Oil-rich Gulf states have been lined up to match Western funds with extra billions to ensure that the country, which until recently touted itself as the next Asian Tiger, avoids a balance of payments crisis. Mr Tareen, a suave former banker, was appointed this...

On Now...the connection between Obama and Yassir Araphat

Odinga - socialist/communist self-professed cousin of Obama from Kenya who cut a deal to make Sharia law with Muslim clerics in Kenya if elected. Obama traveled oversees at taxpayer expense to campaign with Odinga for the presidency. When Odinga lost in Decmeber 2007, he fomented his supporters to riot, killing 1500 and displacing 500,000 until he was named Prime Minister in April 2008. Why did Obama go to Kenya to campaign for this man?

PODGORICA, Montenegro (AP) — Montenegro recognized the independence of Kosovo on Thursday in defiance of staunch opposition from its traditional ally Serbia, which expelled Montenegro's ambassador. Serbia said Montenegro's recognition of Kosovo jeopardized regional stability, amplifying fears that the move could reignite tensions in the Balkans. Montenegrin recognition of Kosovo represents a major blow to Serbia's diplomatic efforts to maintain a claim over Kosovo, which declared independence in February. Kosovo is considered by Serbs to be the cradle of their Orthodox Christian religion and statehood. Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic told the state-run Tanjug news agency that the government is...

A doll some are claiming utters pro-Islam and even satanic messages has outraged parents in Oklahoma and Pennsylvania. People insist they can hear Fisher-Price's "Little Mommy Real Loving Baby Cuddle and Coo" mumbling "Islam is the light" and "Satan is king," according to KJRH.com and MyFOXKC.com. "There's no markings on the box to indicate there's anything Islamic about this doll," said Gary Rofkahr of Owasso, Okla., who was at work when another man brought the toy in to show his colleagues. Rofkahr said he found various versions of the doll at local Target and Wal-Mart stores, which have since pulled...

A U.S. missile attack by a pilotless drone killed at least six people on Thursday, including 3 Arabs, in a Pakistani tribal region regarded as a safe haven for al Qaeda and Taliban militants, an intelligence official said. The target was a house in Tappi, a village 20 km east of Miranshah that has been hit before in recent days, according to an intelligence official in the region.

MIRANSHAH, Pakistan (Reuters) – A suspected U.S. drone fired a missile on Thursday into Pakistan's North Waziristan, a tribal region on the Afghan border regarded as a safe haven for al Qaeda and Taliban militants, a Reuters witness said. "It was a huge blast," said the journalist, who saw and heard the explosion from the rooftop of his house in Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan, shortly after 10:00 p.m. (1600 GMT). The target was in Tappi, a village 20 km east of Miranshah that has been hit before in recent days. "The drone is still flying in the...

The Libyan government has decided to halt oil deliveries to Switzerland, the Libyan oil company Tamoil has said. "Libya has requested the company to halt all oil deliveries to Switzerland," Tamoil CEO Issam Zanati told AFP in a telephone interview. "It is a decision of Libya and not Tamoil," he said. Zanati was unable to say how suspension would last or why the decision was taken. Libyan authorities declined to comment. Libya threatened to halt oil deliveries after the son of Libyan leader Moamar Kahdafi, Hannibal, was arrested in Switzerland in July along with his wife after two servants claimed...

Jerome Corsi, author of the anti-Obama book titled The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality was deported back to America not because of a hitch in his travel documents as reported earlier but due to the nature of his mission in the country. According to Foreign affairs minister Moses Wetangula, Corsi displayed inconsistent conduct with the expected norms of good behaviour in the country. Corsi was on Tuesday night deported back to America after he attempted to launch the book blasting White House hopeful Barrack Obama at a Nairobi hotel. The initial explanation offered by the authorities...

The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza is a regular and very welcome guest on the program. Prompted by Ace of Spades, I asked Chris on Tuesday prior to the presidential debate about MSM's treatment of Joe Biden's serial misstatements at last week's VP debate. The transcript is here. At the conclusion of the interview I inquired if Chris knew of Rashid Khalidi, and Khalidi's friendship with Bill Ayers and Khalidi's long association with Barack Obama. Chris didn't, which didn't surprise me as I hadn't know about it either until an interview with Stanley Kurtz on Monday. Khalidi is a Columbia professor...

U.S.-led coalition troops killed 21 militants in two separate clashes in southern Afghanistan, while insurgents killed 10 civilians in the same area, the U.S. military said Thursday. Coalition troops on a security patrol Wednesday in the Shaheed Hasas district of Uruzgan province repelled an ambush by insurgents, killing 12 militants, the U.S. military said in a statement. There were no coalition casualties.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Bombings killed 10 people and wounded at least four in Pakistan on Thursday, including an attack in a police complex in the capital the same day lawmakers huddled for a private briefing on the militant threat facing the country. The deaths happened in the nation's volatile northwest, where al-Qaida and Taliban militants have established bases near the Afghan border. Four children, two police and four prisoners died when a roadside bomb exploded under a prison vehicle in the Dir region, government official Sher Bahadur Khan said. Initial reports indicated a school bus was caught in the blast,...

Who Wrote Dreams From My Father? By Jack Cashill Prior to 1990, when Barack Obama contracted to write Dreams From My Father, he had written very close to nothing. Then, five years later, this untested 33 year-old produced what Time Magazine has called -- with a straight face -- "the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician." The public is asked to believe Obama wrote Dreams From My Father on his own, almost as though he were some sort of literary idiot savant. I do not buy this canard for a minute, not at all. Writing is as much...

That is just where this long weaving twisting thread begins meandering...kinda....I am never ceased to be amazed every time I try this with Obama and one association, they never seem to end.

So this journey begins when I decide to look at Annenburg Challenge. You probably have heard of this as the...

THE only terrorist to survive the Iranian Embassy siege will be freed from jail this month — and is expected to stay in Britain on benefits. Fowzi Nejad, 51 — captured after SAS troopers famously stormed the building in 1980 — will not be sent back to Iran because of fears over his safety. Last night a Whitehall source confirmed Nejad had been granted parole — and admitted: “It is difficult to see how there won’t be a cost to the public purse.” Fury erupted over the decision yesterday. Mark Wallace, campaign director of the Taxpayers’ Alliance, said: “It is...

In case you haven't noticed, Senator, you are losing the argument to be the next president of the United States. And you are doing it all on your own. Recent trends and polls show that Americans are shedding their discomfort with Barack Obama, and women and independents are breaking in his direction. For your part, you are doing nothing to persuade people to do otherwise. Time to shed the over-handling and carefulness and go at it.

Wives, daughters, girls are punished by having acid thrown on them, permanently disfiguring them. The government prohibits the sale of the corrosive liquids, but they are easily found on the market. The phenomenon is spreading. The victims now include children and adult males. Dhaka (AsiaNews) - Women in Bangladesh suffer marginalization. And the violence against them, at home and outside, continues to grow. Recently, a new weapon has been added: acid, which disfigures their faces and bodies. Parul's husband is 30 years old. In 2000, he disfigured her by throwing acid into her face, because her relatives had not paid...
