Snip: Nine people have been arrested in a massive nationwide anti-terror operation involving more than 500 police officers. Police carried out a string of co-ordinated early morning raids at addresses across five different force areas.

Immigration raid in Brunai - take note American politicians - it CAN be done!

Canadian scientist worried about ingress/egress of wildlife with border wall
Snip: Paul Paquet, a wolf specialist with the University of Calgary, says grizzlies, wolves, deer, foxes and caribou -- in fact, just about every species of large mammal there is -- travel freely across the U.S.-Canada border, so any effort to restrict that could have dire environmental consequences.
"Friendly" Ecuador on collision path with US
Snip: Occidental actually sold 40% of its concession to Canada's EnCana, which in turn traded it with a Chinese oil consortium. Oxy’s production (as the company is referred to in Ecuador) is in the range of 111.000 barrels per day from Block 15 in the Amazonian basin where the company alleges to have invested over 6 billion US dollars.
"The world knows that Ecuador is a friendly country, but we are also determined to defend the interests of our motherland, the well being of the Ecuadorian people and the integrity of its territory" emphasized President Palacio during a national address Saturday.
131 illegals found in refrigerated truck carrying papayas in Mexico
Snip: But infrared technology at the immigration station allowed officials to see the truck's false bottom. Hidden among the fruit were 97 Guatemalans, 18 Hondurans and 17 from neighboring El Salvador, according to Julio Trujillo, a spokesman for the National Migration Institute in Chiapas.
THANK YOU Velveeta.
That was great researching.
Now we wonder what his motivation was for doing that.

That's a great cartoon, I've saved it!
Snip: ...the flood of U.S. dollars may also be driving up the cost of living in El Salvador, forcing ever-larger numbers of Salvadorans to leave for the United States...
142 illegals from Turkey detained in Greece
Snip: Greek police arrested 142 people trying to cross the country's borders illegally in three different groups by truck and boat. All three groups had come from Turkey, Ekathimerini.com reported.
The first arrests involved 73 people found in a refrigerator truck in Kavala in northwest Greece. The group included individuals from Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia and Palestine, with 16 women and a boy as well as men.
Thank you backhoe.
That is an interesting collection of links.
Worth reading and contemplating.
How accurate all the pages are -- time will tell.
OMG, based on a true story, I bet.
We're all going to suffer financially at the pump, as long as the environmentalist's lobby, are a one night stand, with the democrats, and some misguided RINO's.

Iran to launch a new misunderstanders of Islam garrison on Thursday
Ibrahim Hooper, I think you should call this Ahmadinejad fellow. He and many others in Iran seem to have the crazy idea that Allah promises Paradise to those who "kill and are killed" for him (cf. Qur'an 9:111).
"Iran to launch a new suicide bombers garrison on Thursday," from IranFocus, with thanks to Mackie:
Tehran, Iran, May 24 – Iran will launch a new suicide-bombers garrison on Thursday, according to the head of a group affiliated to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.
Mohammad-Ali Samadi, spokesman for the Headquarters to Commemorate the Martyrs of the Global Islamic Movement, a government-orchestrated campaign to recruit suicide bombers, told the state-run news agency Mehr on Tuesday that the group planned to officially announce the existence of the new garrison in a ceremony in Tehran’s largest cemetery on Thursday afternoon.
The new garrison will be named after Nader Mahdavi, an IRGC naval commander who died in a suicide attack on an American naval vessel in 1987, Samadi said.
The report said that more that 55,000 “volunteers for martyrdom-seeking operations” had been registered so far by the organisation, which also calls itself “Estesh’hadioun”, or martyrdom-seekers.
In February, the group launched a new recruitment drive for suicide bombers in Tehran to fight against “Global Blasphemy”.
The group was set up by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards in 2004. Those who join have three choices: To carry out suicide attacks against “the infidels occupying Iraq”, against Israel, or against Salman Rushdie.

Stories like that cartoon, are going on all over the country. Many child predators, are being arrested by a network of police officers manning computers, pretending to be a child. Because of the recent adverse publicity by Myspace.com, they were featured. I just wish the message could get out to all the young innocent ones.
Wink..wink..wink! Yep...and Mexico does nothing to fortify the northern border - Vincente likes that money heading south. It pours into Mexico's economy. Guessing welcome wagons on the US side (courtesy Kennedy/McCain et al) would have been a little too obvious.
LOL, excellent.. and NO, we need God more than ever!!
I know.
Thanks.
Amen to that.
...."welcome wagons".............
Now THAT was funny, sad and very nearly true, but funny.
Heck no! : )
Exactly- only time will tell. We see stories like that pop up like clockwork. Without routine ( and exotic ) maintenance, miniature nukes are lumps of metal. Then again, rogue scientists are not unknown- it theory it might be possible to revive one outside its military origins.
It bears "keeping a weather eye on it"- but not panic.
I agree.
