One thing when we transfer to a new thread, you can't reply to the old. Therefore, I'm bringing this over.

Transcript from yesterdays DHS hearing from Lou Dobbs show.

Snipped~

WIAN (voice over): It's mainly because only 5 percent of the 11 million containers entering our ports each year are physically inspected. Now homeland security officials admit far few containers are scanned for potential nuclear bomb-making materials. Lawmakers are outraged.

REP. JERROLD NADLER (D), NEW YORK: What percentage of all containers are screened by gamma ray technology and by radiation scanners.

JAY AHERN, CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION: One percent.

NADLER: One percent of all containers are screened in a way that would assure us that you no nuclear materials are aboard?

AHERN: That is the correct number today, yes.

NADLER : One percent. And when are we going to get to 100 percent?

AHERN: As we continue to deploy additional resource and technologies in these ports.

NADLER: I asked for a date.

AHERN: A specific timeframe, I don't have that.

NADLER: I think it's absurd. The same department that determined that the Dubai deal is not high risk determines which containers are high risk.

WIAN: At a hearing on foreign operation of U.S. ports and port security, lawmakers of both parties hammered the White House.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I don't see any sense from the administration that you've changed your tone deafness on this issue of the Dubai Ports, in specific, or the port security in general.

WIAN: Congress is angry that provisions of the 2002 Maritime Security Act are not being enforced, including long-range tracking of commercial ships and secure IDs for port workers.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I find it totally unacceptable that the department has allowed this program to be delayed for this long, clearly not giving it any priority.

WIAN: Stewart Baker is the homeland security official who approved the Dubai Ports deal without consulting superiors. Lawmakers asked him about the lack of background checks for port workers, and reports that murders, sex offenders, ID thieves and MS-13 gang members were found working at East Coast ports. Baker blamed local officials and questioned the character of port workers.

STEWART BAKER, ASST. SECRETARY, HOMELAND SECURITY: There are not a lot of former choir boys who sign up to be longshoremen, and the longshoremen are concerned that irrelevant criminal behavior far in the past might be considered disqualifying.

WIAN: Union leaders didn't address that claim but said port workers often uncover security breaches and are told to ignore them by terminal operators.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

WIAN: The Department of Homeland Security's response to all this, they admit a lot more work needs to be done. But they say they've made a lot of progress in improving port security since 9/11 -- Lou.

DOBBS: And it's clear that the focus on our port security has only begun. For that, I suppose, we should, Casey Wian, thank Dubai Ports World and the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. At least there is that positive from all of this.

(Excerpted) If the King of Pop Converts to Islam by Daniel Pipes March 7, 2006

Michael Jackson, the king of pop, is "on the verge" of converting to Islam, CBS News reported last week. If that's true, it fits into a recurring and important African-American pattern.
---
In November came the news of Mr. Jackson donating "a huge amount of money" to build a mosque near his new residence. The Khaleej Times newspaper explained that the mosque "would be designated for learning the principles and teachings of Islam as well as teaching of English language,

for which high-standard teachers would be brought from United States under his personal supervision."

Michael Jackson in Muslim women's clothing

In January, a Bahraini business, AAJ Holdings, announced it had hired Mr. Jackson as an entertainment consultant.

In addition, Mr. Jackson was spotted leaving a Bahraini shopping mall wearing a black veil, black gloves, and a black robe (called the abaya).

To avoid publicity, in other words, he dressed like an Islamist woman.

Amazing information about the ports and longshoremen. "Irrelevant criminal background" my ***.

Thoughts that flowed through the brain after reading it:

1. Hitler told the world, via book, speeches, policies and directives, what he planned to do for years before he gained power. Then he did what he said he'd do.

2. Muslims have been telling the rest of the world what they're going to do for a long time. Their fervor has increased a lot in the last 30 years, and is revving up. Why do people not believe that they mean it?

3. Muslims DID control much of the world until (roughly) 1500, and later in Asia. Now there are 100 Muslim countries, and many countries with large Muslim populations. Why do people not see that they have plans for us?

4. Almost all Muslims in the world today are the descendents of those who were forced into Islam. Their ancestors were Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, Parsees, animinsts, etc. Very very few Muslims have been converted otherwise; notable exceptions are black Muslims especially in prisons.

5. Terrorist activity has greatly increased in the last 30 years. Someone recently expressed this, which I thought very true: Muslims were very powerful (they conquered a great deal of Europe) until around 1500 or so. Then, as Europe advanced technologically and gained wealth through conquering other countries, the Muslim influenced waned. Now that many Muslim countries have gained wealth and technology through oil, they're on the rise again.

Anyone who thinks that they don't mean what they say when they repeatedly state they want to control the world is either in denial or agrees with them.

And finally:

6. If people had stopped Hitler earlier, 6 million Jews and millions of others would not have died.

Oh, one more point:

It's always curious to me how leftists love Muslim terrorists, when it's clear that many leftist agendas would not last long under Islam (such as "out" homosexuality, slut behavior, abortion, and so on). I figured it out. Muslims are the "bad dogs" of the leftists. You know how sometimes a mean person has a "bad dog" that they allow to bark or even get vicious with people? The human can't do what the dog does and get away with it, so they get a bad dog to act the way they want to act.

So Muslim terrorists and terrorism promoters are the Left's "bad dog".
