Seven police commandoes have been killed in a bomb and gun attack by communist rebels in the northern Philippines, officials say. Rebels from the New People's Army (NPA) ambushed the group as they made their way to a medical exam. Their truck was hit by an explosion, after which the militants opened fire, police said. Seven other commandoes were also injured in the attack. The incident took place near Allacapan, 400km (250 miles) north of Manila. Those who died were members of an elite counter-insurgency police unit, reports said. The NPA has been fighting for a communist state for more...

China shuts Maoist sites amid political crisis Beijing, Sun Apr 08 2012, 00:54 hrs Chinese authorities have ordered a leading pro-Maoist website shut down for one month because of critical essays posted on it, the website’s founder said, amid the country’s worst high-level political crisis in years. The move comes after the firing of a once high-flying official, who promoted Mao Zedong-era songs and stories. Han Deqiang, founder of the leftist website Utopia, said police ordered that it be shut down because of content that criticized the Communist Party, its leaders and an upcoming party congress. The shutdown took effect...

Kathmandu: A sort of political blizzard is likely to overwhelm Nepal soon. Destructive politics appear to have already taken a shape which awaits only its formalization in a week or so. The frenzied play that is being played in the dim corners of Kathmandu backed by some alien forces in the South will, if it does happen, apparently be very hard to be tackled by the ruling Maoists-the party in government. Exactly after a lapse of three years four months (minus 12 days to be more precise), such a destructive political play is being staged by forces that are visibly...

It was inevitable. Given the increasing pressure on liberals, especially artists and writers, including Jewish artists and writers, to prove that they have the right/left politics–properly pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel, anti-Judaism, and anti-American–Hollywood is giving an Honorary Academy Award to French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard, an historically important director but a raving and unapologetic anti-Semite, a man who is obsessed with the Jews. Godard has called a reputable French producer a “dirty Jew; Francois Truffaut broke with him over this as did Claude Lanzmann, the great French documentarian of the Holocaust (“Shoah”). Godard has also described Israel as a “cancer on the map...

Husband, son fell to outlaws earlier In yet another spine-chilling incident of Red terror, the Maoists operating in the Jangalmahal area burnt alive a woman after she tried to organise villagers to revolt against them. Not only this, the panic-stricken villagers were prevented from claiming and cremating the body which kept rotting for four days. A police officer at Jhargram, a police district under the West Midnapore district, told The Pioneer on Monday that....

Yankee Utopians in a Chinese CenturyFor those who can yet recall the backyard blast furnaces of Mao's China in the 1950s and the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution to re-instill peasant values in the 1970s, the news was jarring. In 2011, said the Financial Times, China will surpass the United States as first manufacturing power, a title America has held since surpassing Great Britain around 1890. Each year, China passes a new milestone. Last year, China surpassed Germany as the greatest exporting nation. This year, China surpasses Japan as the world's second-largest economy. This year, China became the first auto manufacturer...

I can't take it anymore. If one more person sends me that e-mail about Hillary and the Black Panthers, I'll have to be dragged away screaming in a straitjacket. You know the e-mail I'm talking about. It accuses Hillary of helping the Black Panthers get away with torture and murder during the early 1970s. With the 2004 presidential race drawing near, the spam mills are creaking to life, flooding the Internet once more with this agitprop classic. Unfortunately, the e-mail mingles good information with bad, sowing more confusion than enlightenment. Some versions, for instance, carry the byline of radio talk...

I can't begin to explain how hard I laughed watching this kid. What is he, some unemployed weirdo making videos in his mommy's basement? Take into consideration he admires one of the worst mass-murderers of the 20th century. Let's watch and have a laugh.

The Left has always had a cavalier attitude toward death. Identified by Sarah Palin as Death Panels in President Obama's Health Care Legislation; the concept relates to much earlier times in the Leftist philosophy. From the writing of Chairman Mao, who is a hero of Anita Dunn and Ron Bloom within the Obama Administration, we are left with keys to his much admired Democrat philosophy concerning death for the commoner as opposed to death for the "Great Heroes", a designation he and most upper level Democrat leaders seem to ascribe for themselves. Mao, "Human beings are endowed with the sense...

Can you spot her? (Hint: Lower Right)

In eastern India at least 71 people were killed and more than 200 injured when a high speed train derailed and collided with another train. Officials say they suspect sabotage by Maoist rebels caused the derailment. Most passengers were sleeping when 13 carriages of the passenger train derailed and fell on an adjacent track, where they were rammed by a freight train coming from the opposite direction. The Mumbai bound train originated in the eastern city of Kolkata in West Bengal. The crash occurred early Friday near the small town of Sardiha. Several carriages overturned completely. Some were badly crushed....

It becomes curiouser and curiouser as to why the New Black Panthers are being protected by Attorney General Eric H. Holder after they intimidated voters in 2008.

At least 70 paramilitary police have been killed in an attack by Maoist rebels in India. A police patrol was ambushed by several hundred Maoist rebels in the central state of Chhattisgarh. Dozens of other paramilitary police sent to retrieve the injured were also attacked and an armoured vehicle was destroyed. The casualties were taken to hospital by helicopter. The Maoist rebels are demanding the overthrow of the Indian government and are active in up to 20 states across the country. Violence has escalated in the past two months, in response to a government offensive. Indian Home Affairs Minister P...

A decade and a half after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and more than three decades after the Chinese began to gradually unshackle themselves of Maoist dogma, to progressively embrace the mantras of capitalism, India is experiencing a vast and escalating surge of a violent Maoist rebellion. To the Western mind, the developments in both Russia and China irrevocably demonstrated the failure of the communist ideology, and it is bewildering to see a resurgence of this discredited doctrine in an India that has widely come to be regarded as an engine of growth, a dynamic economy, a rising global...

What could be a greater guide to a man's true nature, than those from whom he seeks spiritual counsel? President Barack Obama spent 20 years under the ministry of Rev. Jeremiah Wright on Chicago's South Side. Wright is a Marxist and admirer of the founder of "Black Liberation Theology", James Cone - who wrote in 1969 "All white men are responsible for white oppression. . . . Theologically, Malcolm X was not far wrong when he called the white man 'the devil.'"

Now, Yvonne may not be able to bear to read this blog or watch this video that someone sent me in an email, so my sympathies to her in advance. However, the good news is that the American People have woken up (those that choose to not hide their heads in the sand), to realize that the America they once knew, is almost gone. The question is though, "Is it too late?". Many Americans today believe that there has been a communist infiltration into the White House, and if they are correct, it is certainly a huge 'change' one can...

Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan, is blaming older Whites of the Right, particularly those from the South for Obama's difficulties in establishing his Socialist agendas and for working against Obama so that he will be a one term President; primarily he maintains, because the 'White Right' doesn't like having a Black Man in the White House. Using his self proclaimed divine status for the justification of his role, not as "a prophet for that is too cheap a word. I am a light in the midst of darkness." He now urges Obama to improve the lives of Blacks...

Obama rejects criticism of his agenda as "socialism" Photo 3:22pm EST By Jeff Mason and Caren Bohan WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama launched a vigorous defense of his economic agenda on Wednesday, rejecting critics who call his policies "socialism" and insisting he aims to boost U.S. competitiveness abroad. Speaking to the Business Roundtable, which groups some of the country's top chief executives, Obama called for support of his administration's efforts to overhaul financial regulation, revamp the health insurance industry and create jobs. "Contrary to the claims of some of my critics and some of the editorial pages, I am...

In a controversial move, the NAACP announced today that it would be awarding one their top honors to Van Jones, the former White House Special Advisor for Green Jobs who resigned last fall under a cloud of controversy. Jones’ history with extremist groups and the website 911Truth.org created a vocal conservative movement that ultimately cost him his position under Barack Obama, despite his work in creating the Green Jobs act in 2007 and declaring himself to be the victim of “a vicious smear campaign.” The NAACP says ex-Green czar deserves the award and “may be the most misunderstood man in...

Hill was on very early in the program, first few minutes or so. Don't ask me what he said. I turned the sound off.
