The Slow Unraveling of Hugo Chavez and his Terrorist Ties
March 4, 2010
by Douglas Farah
While Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez has long viewed criticism of his autocratic rule and growing abuses as part of the impending Yanqui invasion, he has suffered two significant blows in the past week and the United States was not part of either. The developments are further signs that Chávez is finally being understood as an anti-democratic strongman who consistently supports terrorist groups that the rest of the world shuns.
The most recent blow came from a Spanish judge who linked the Chávez government to support for the Basque terrorist organization ETA, as well as the Colombian FARC, in attempts to assassinate senior Colombian officials.
snipped...
But slowly the mask is slipping on the creator of 21st century Socialism. Rather than ushering in a new era of poverty reduction, social justice and prosperity, he is presiding over an increasingly criminalized state with one of the highest murder rates in the world, rampant corruption and shrinking freedoms. Viva la revolución!

Pro-Muslim Influence on Fox News
March 3, 2010
by Diana West
Recently, Murdoch and Alwaleed have discussed expanding their business relationship through the Murdoch purchase of a substantial stake in Rotana, Alwaleed’s huge Arab media company.
Should Fox News register with the State Department as a foreign agent—an agent of Saudi Arabia?
snipped...
How does this influence Fox News coverage? It’s impossible to say. Alwaleed has bragged that it only took a phone call to ensure that Fox coverage of Muslim rioting in France not be described as ‘Muslim’ rioting in France, a boast News Corp. has never denied. This week, security analyst Joseph Trento, in light of recent negotiations between Alwaleed and Murdoch, mused online whether his own recent interview on ‘Fox & Friends’ didn’t appear in Fox’s online video cache because he had told host Steve Doocy that ‘Saudi Arabian money was still financing al-Qaeda.’ The doubt itself is damaging.
Meanwhile, spokesmen for terrorism-linked and Alwaleed-endowed CAIR still appear on Fox shows, for example, while Dave Gaubatz and Paul Sperry, likely Fox guests as conservative authors of the sleeper-hit book Muslim Mafia (an exposé of CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood), get zero airtime. The more important question becomes: How does Alwaleed’s stake in News Corp. affect what Fox News doesn’t cover?
If they don’t report, we can’t decide. This, for a Sharia prince, could be worth millions.

That’s true. They are still on, at least on international flights.

Do you remember after the Christmas failed bombing the airlines said they wouldn’t allow the viewing of the planes location on the on board TV screens?<<<
No, guess I missed that point, but it makes sense, for if they do not know where they are, they might miss killing the people on the ground, and have to settle for those on the plane.
Keeping up with their tricks will never end.
