All I was snoozing through a cable channel show in World War 2 last night which referred to a network to rescue downed fliers across the Pyrenees to Gibraltar that was run by a twenty year old woman. The story was that she was betrayed eventually, imprisoned and ended her days as a nurse in Africa. I missed her name. Does anybody out there know of her and her story. Thank you.

A gunman who opened fire on an island teeming with young people kept shooting for 1.5 hours before surrendering to a SWAT team, which arrived 40 minutes after they were called, police said Saturday[...] Survivors of the shooting spree have described hiding and fleeing into the water to escape the gunman.[...] On the island of Utoya, panicked teens attending a Labour Party youth wing summer camp plunged into the water or played dead to avoid the assailant in the assault. A picture sent out on Twitter showed a blurry figure in dark clothing pointing a gun into the water, with...

According to The Politico, the White House has a couple revisions to the story it told us yesterday of what happened inside Osama bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad. The most notable change thus far to the story we heard yesterday from Deputy National Security Adviser John Brennan and the Pentagon is that bin Laden didn’t pick up a gun and join the fighting.

[excerpt] When Umar Abdulmutallab (a.k.a the undies bomber) attempted to blow a plane by setting his explosive-doused boxers on fire, I feared that we'd have to put our unmentionables on the X-ray belt, too. Maybe your flights are exclusively populated with supermodels, but when I fly, it's usually in less than athletic company, and believe me when I say that I have no interest in seeing more of my average travel mates. That goes for me too, I wouldn't want to inflict my hairy butt to unsuspecting passengers....snip...Not only does the scan remove any leftover dignity you might still possess,...

Friday, November 19, 2010 .. Thousands of faithful attended an outdoor Mass in the rain on November 14, 2010 at the Valle de los Caídos. There were so many faithful in attendance that the crowd poured over into El Escorial. Traffic jams were experienced up to 10 km from the Basilica due to the number of faithful in attendance. http://eponymousflower.blogspot.com/2010/11/catholic-resistence-to-godless.html

When you cannot defend freedom through peaceful means, you have to use arms to fight Nazism, dictatorship, chauvinism. Marek Edelman A bit over a year ago, I wrote about the death of Marek Edelman, last survivor of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943. Reading about his strength and courage in fighting the Nazis inspired my life membership in Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership--a group dedicated to not allowing Americans to forget the horrible dangers of a people submitting to forcible citizen disarmament. Now, St. Louis is to be visited by the son of another hero of armed Jewish...

The Leftist revolutionary forces and the revolutionary terrorist barbarians of radical Islam are allies in an unholy cabal with the same goal in mind: The complete destruction of Western Civilization. They are opposed by only a few brave Freedom Fighters who understand that appeasement, compromise and living side by side by with these forces of tyranny is impossible and who realize that the best means to stop revolution is counter-revolution. As is well known in my circle of friends, since 2005 with creation of The Freedom Fighter's Journal, I've collected the names and locations of a large number of trustworthy...

To most people, World War II's French Resistance, or Maquis, was a one-dimensional organization. It existed to do one thing: disrupt German operations, communications and transportation, primarily through sabotage and assassination. But the Museum of National Resistance in this suburb outside Paris makes it clear, through displays and archival material, that the Resistance was more complex than that.

N.Korean Leaflets Call for Ouster of Kim Jong-il Leaflets calling for the overthrow of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il's regime were scattered in Hoeryong, North Hamgyong Province in mid-June, the Asahi Shimbun reported Friday. North Korea deemed the incident a threat to national security and launched an intensive investigation to find out who printed and distributed them after collecting scores of leaflets between June 24 and 25, the Japanese daily said. "The General is not the bright sun of the 21st century, but has only brought us darkness," it quoted the leaflets as saying. "Let's end the age of Kim...

Anyone who has ever tried to sue a school, change a PTA, join a school board, or in any way to manipulate what a public school was doing, please share your experiences and suggestions. To start the discussion, here are a few options: YAHOO GROUPS: anybody can form a group on Yahoo. I know of a group in Jersey City where parents share notes about teachers, courses, and candidates. This is an easy way to mobilize 100 or 200 people so they’re all on the same page when they deal with the school. PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION: Martin Gross, in his book...

We have followed with great interest the debate over the Arizona Immigration Law. If those who are speaking out truly understood the provisions of our Constitution we may have a more informed debate. It’s obvious that most of the public has no concept, or knowledge of what the Constitution really says. The only place in the Federal Constitution that any law enforcement powers are granted is in Article 1, Section 8, Paragraph 15, where the law enforcement powers are granted to the Militia. Congress is given the power to call forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union,...

"CAN I INTEREST YOU IN A HIZBALLAH-SUPPORTING SOCIAL NETWORK?" SNIPPET: "Once upon a time there was a place called Lebanon. When Hizballah is done with it it'll look a whole lot like Germany circa 1945. If Shiite expats in Montreal and elsewhere want to call that "victory" that's their business." SNIPPET: "6. Wash, rinse, repeat. This is online counter-terrorism in the social-networking age."

Enemy of the State - An Extremist Manifesto Notes from the Fall of the Republic "You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence."Charles Austin Beard, American Historian, 1874-1948   For some of us, having our beliefs called to question is an uncomfortable experience. Coming from an acquaintance, it can be unnerving; coming from a stranger, it can feel like an assault. But, really - why should any of us...

WASHINGTON – Opposition to President Barack Obama's health care law jumped after he signed it — a warning to Democrats running for re-election this fall that his victory could become their liability. A new Associated Press-GfK poll finds Americans oppose the health care remake 50 percent to 39 percent. Before a divided Congress finally passed the bill and Obama signed it at a jubilant White House ceremony last month, public opinion was about evenly split. Another 10 percent of Americans say they are neutral. Disapproval for Obama's handling of health care also increased from 46 percent before the bill passed...

Caller: I'm very frustrated about what happened they didn't listen to the people at all. I don't know if you happened to hear what Michelle Bachmann said about peacefully not complying with obamacare? I think that's going to be me. I have read the bill and I know about the provisions that will throw me in prison and really I don't care. I'll be more than happy to go to prison to fight for my freedom. Host: How do you see your freedom on the line here? Caller: They are taking our money by fiat. They are taking our money...

Resistance against N. Korean regime taking root, survey suggests By Blaine Harden Washington Post Foreign Service Wednesday, March 24, 2010; A11 TOKYO -- There is mounting evidence that Kim Jong Il is losing the propaganda war inside North Korea, with more than half the population now listening to foreign news, grass-roots cynicism undercutting state myths and discontent rising even among elites. A survey of refugees has found that "everyday forms of resistance" in the North are taking root as large swaths of the population believe that pervasive corruption, rising inequity and chronic food shortages are the fault of the government...
