When Dean Loses Iowa, will the Deaniacs Riot? Well, well, well . . . John Kerry and John Edwards. Winners. And look at the blond Soft-Ball guy on MSNBC, congratulating Howard Dean on finishing THIRD. The only Democrats who were in play for the White House in the last decades were SOUTHERN Democrats. Folks didn’t even have Edwards in play here, and now, even if he comes in second, he’s a big, big winner here, even if some folks try to say the Iowa caucus has no meaning as far as the nomination. In this case it does. Second place...

main The Eurasian Politician - Issue 5 (April-September 2002)THE ROOTS OF ISLAMIC TERRORISM Antero Leitzinger (March 2002) This article intends to trace the roots of Islamic terrorism, with special focus on Afghanistan. Notes are added on practical and philosophical problems of world media in finding the right track. From systematic errors in revealing little details, to serious misconceptions about basic facts and principles, we can relatively easily learn how much of "common knowledge" rests actually on superficial research and popular myths. Instead of becoming critical and aware of the traps laid around the issue, both Islamists and Islamophobes fail to...

Bush sold us out on Illegal Alien Amnesty, and he will sell us out on a Palestinian Terrorist State, next. Bush is just catering to his left-wing constituency. That's right. We thought that we, the conservatives, were his constituency. But we thought wrong. Because he figures he doesn’t have to cater to us. And I guess he’s proving it. He doesn’t need us. Unless we do something about it. Will we? So, he’s in Mexico, and as far as Bush is concerned, their vote is more important than our vote. Is it? He figures, he’s already re-elected. And, is he?...

Global warming could destroy 15-37% species by 2050: Study Press Trust of India Washington, January 8 Global warming may cause the extinction of 15 to 37 per cent of species by 2050, a study published on Thursday in the noted science journal Nature has warned. "The midrange estimate is that 34 per cent of plants and animals will be committed to extinction by 2050," said economist Chris Thomas of Britain's University of Leeds, who conducted the study along with 17 other researchers. "We are talking about 1.25 million species. It is a massive number", Thomas said. The study was conducted...

Check Out Lou Dobbs on CNN Cable right now – he’s really tearing into the Illegal Alien Amnesty of Bush! If you’re not tuned in, check it out right now, Lou Dobb’s on CNN Cable is really hitting the pertinent points regarding illegal aliens as well as the Bush amnesty. If you missed it, hopefully it will re-air later tonight, on CNN cable. I believe this man truly is a fighter and advocate for the interests of the workers and labor in this country the USA – he is asking very direct questions about the problems of illegal immigration from...

Bush thinks we are going to be brothers with the dirt of Mexico by taking this course of flattening our borders and “welcoming” more, ever more, illegals. And yet, exactly the opposite will be the result - if we continue down the path Bush is taking us, I predict we will be at war with Mexico within less than 40 years, likely sooner, and we will be bombing Mexico City with air power. Why? Very simple. The more we acquiesce, the more the hegemony of Mexico will become embolden and insolent of any respect for our culture and freedoms. The...

Is Bush’s Sombrero Made in China? Bush said at a news conference in January that he was "firmly against blanket amnesty," or a mass legalization, that what he wants to do is “help match any willing employer with any willing employee" whether citizen or illegal alien, so they can have “legitimacy” and “legalize their presence” (make them LEGAL aliens, not ILLEGAL aliens, per Tom Ridge, who is in charge of our homeland security and protecting our borders and stuff). In other words, if you are a terrorist and an illegal alien wanna’ be, and a “willing employer” on the...

The same ABC Radio news that called terrorists “Iraqi resistance”, now calls the terrorists “Guerilla Fighters” You all just heard it. They called the terrorists "guerilla fighters". Four weeks ago, the ABC radio news took to calling the Islamic terrorists who are congregating in Iraq from all parts of the Islamic terrorist world to murder Iraqi police, terrorize and massacre civilians, assassinate politicians and attack democracy, and commit fanatical terrorist acts on international troops and non-combatant international organizations, as “Iraqi resistance fighters” - putting these terrorists, who go into school houses to blow up children because they don’t like to...

b>Pakistan is going to Give Saudi Arabia the Nuclear Bomb You see? We gave Pakistan lots of money. Now, they are going to give the nuclear bomb to Saudi Arabia. May as well say Pakistan is giving the nuclear bomb to the extremist Wahabi Islamic sect of Saudi, because it’s the same thing. Now the terrorists have the nuclear bomb. So, what is Congress going to do about it? Where’s Bush? Our borders are open. They can now get drivers licenses. Does Bush say anything? Pakistan – Bush gives them tons of money. Do you know how North Korea got...

ABC Radio News now referring to Terrorists in Iraq who kill our Troops as “Iraqi Resistance” The ABC Radio News, which airs on ABC radio affiliates nationally, is now referring to terrorists in Iraq who are engaged in terror and murder of Iraqi civilians, Iraqi police and politicians, and international troops and diplomats as “Iraqi resistance”. When I heard the airing of the news, a local host who airs a live gardening show at the time of the report was so outraged that even he, a-political, had to comment on the unbelievable anti-American provocation of the news broadcast as soon...

Horse Manure is not Figs, Mr. Davis Well, today was your last day to sell a few figs, Mr. Davis. You’ve been shining them up as figs for so long, pumping those fists, pointing them fingers, high five’n with your buds at the L.A. Times, and just what were those things you’ve been picking up and shinin’ as figs, Mr. Davis? You think, anyone wants your little figs? . . . Now? . . . . . . Governor? Your progressives were always talking about revolution. Revolution this, revolution that – but your progressives would never invite the regular people...

Tom McClintock will most likely be Ostracized – and he probably will Deserve It. Yesterday, I heard a radio ad on a local Bay Area AM station, run by some American Indian tribe. That is how they identified themselves – as an Indian Nation, and they were running a political ad for Tom McClintock, the theme that, as conservatives, if we voted our conscious, then Tom McClintock can win. Don’t listen to the nay-sayers, say the Indian gaming interests, not only can Tom McClintock win, he WILL win if we all vote principle. And, ka-Ching, it sort of sounds like...

Who Won the Debate? (Answer: Stan the Moderator!) Great job, Stan! You know, folks sure under-surmised Schwarzenegger, and man, they sure were wrong. What a fantastic debater, and spokesperson for his positions. Of course, that Arianna (?) lady, the one nobody wanted at the debate, only helped Schwarzenegger’s style and contrast to her ridiculousness. I think one way to look at the debate is to figure, who best contrasted in the play of the debate the idiocy of Arianna? Well, it wasn’t Bustamante – what a mush ball. McClintock knew the issues, and could spew the stats right at...

Lou Dobbs Tonight 9-22-2003: CNN becomes more fair and balanced?Instead of watching FOX tonight, I happened to tune into Lou Dobbs Tonight on CNN. I wasn’t expecting to stay tuned very long, but found myself watching the entire news show, including CNN’s commercial sponsors, normally the commercial break an opportunity to hop stations for a variety of views, but I stayed on the CNN channel to keep in step with the Dobbs presentation and program. I was surprised. As a conservative, though the program is not my political slant, I have to say that Lou Dobb’s program is indicative of...

Sussman, Ingraham, Gold lineup adds new Dynamic to KSFO Hot Talk 560AM SFO - Ever since KSFO 560AM San Francisco didn’t renew the Savage Nation contract a couple months ago, when I turned to tune into California hot talk in San Francisco and the greater “Bay Area” thereabouts and wanted to listen to the fabulous and brilliant Michael Savage, I switched over to 910AM San Francisco or 650AM Sacramento at 4pm Pacific. After Savage left the KSFO lineup, it became pretty tiresome listening to Sean Hannity three times a day, including reruns, even on Sundays. I’ve been also listening in...

You Can’t Milk a Bull Strategy for Republican Victory in CA RecallA couple of conservative talk show hosts who I respect have been ripping Arnold every morning as a RINO. I suppose he’s no more or less a RINO than George Bush. “But, Brian! Arnold the RINO is AGAINST Proposition 54! He’s a RINO!” – well, I’m voting for 54, but I haven’t seen Bush come out here lately and campaign for it, and unless I’m wrong, haven’t heard him say anything to help the cause. I figure G.W.’s a-gayn it. I’m for it, Arnold isn’t, my vote negates Arnold’s,...

The Los Angeles Times poll, with Bustamante on top in double digits, does not reflect the likely outcome of the recall. And the reason is simple – accounting for the demographics, sense of obligation to community, and political participation of those who participated in this Los Angeles Times poll, a goodly portion of them will not even bother to get out and vote the day of the recall election. The poll is a contrived suggestion of likely outcome, and serves as nothing more than a tool of the liberal politics of the Los Angeles Times. Simon has dropped out of...

I have a question about Free Republic's URLs, in relation to various measures we are all using to protect our workstations/pcs/servers from Trojan Horse/Worm/Virus threats. As you know, another major problem related to W32.Blaster.Worm happened across the US and ASIA yesterday, and there are variations to this trojan horse worm which not only writes fake keys (e.g. "windows auto update") to the registry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - MICROSOFT - WINDOWS - CURRENTVERSION - RUN" (*the RUN folder is key, this is where they put the stuff as gateway to building a series of drop files which use mIRC type tools...

What is this I am hearing some (conservative, “hot talk”) radio talk show hosts saying, that Bill Simon and Tom McClintock are “unelectable” in California? Anyone who has seen any of my posts of late, know I am giving Arnold Schwarzenegger the benefit of the doubt and have all three Republicans as considerations. I also feel that Schwarzenegger, now that he is in the race, has the best “chance” of winning over Simon and McClintock. But, “best chance of winning” isn’t what I am hearing from some of these talk show hosts. I've heard it several times now, and Again,...

Time for a Debate Forum among CA Recall Candidates Local television news media in the California “Bay Area”, which is suppose to report news but instead simply sounds off the DNC newsletter, is repeatedly referring to the (CA) recall as “the circus”. These are the “local” stations, the worst being (of course) KRON News. Just the other day, a female KRON “news anchor”, proclaimed – “the recall circus continues”, in regards to the Schwarzenegger candidacy, an outrageous injection of leftist opinion and propaganda into what was suppose to be a news report. The idea behind this leftist campaign by the...
