Google Lunar X Prize: Israel, The Third Nation on the Moon?

If all goes according to plan, by December 2012 a team of three young Israeli scientists will have landed a tiny spacecraft on the moon, explored the lunar surface, and transmitted live video back to earth, thereby scooping up a $20 million prize (the Google Lunar X Prize), revolutionizing space exploration, and making the Jewish State the third nation (after the U.S. and Russia) to land a probe on the moon. And they’re doing it in their spare time.

Not a single team from an Arab country entered the competition, yet undoubtedly, there will be loud demands for an end to Israeli lunar "occupation" and a halt to alien oppression.

If only more Muslims would show the courage of this wonderful woman, peace would be possible. And please keep in mind, this is no small matter. Higher profile people than her have been murdered for less in Pakistan. This woman is a real hero:

RAW, Syria MAYHEM as citizens mowed down in the streets

Obama rushed to Libya (where there is oil) to "protect the civilian population". But what about Syria (where there is no oil). Syria is a far more strategically important country than Libya, with far-reaching implications for regional peace. The regime has sinister alliances with Hezbollah and Iran, and certainly it would be in every ones interest to help foster regime change there, to something more moderate. The real face of the Syrian regime can be found in this video mowing down their own citizens. Thanks to modern technology, they can't hide their actions as easily as in the past while whining about "human rights". Exhibit A:

Syrian Regime Mowing People Down in the Streets - Obama Silent

Of course, it is not unusual for Arab dictatorships to engage in wholesale massacres of their own people. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that any expression of opposition to the Syrian regime is met with wholesale murder in the streets. That Arab regimes would spend years lecturing the world (through the UN) about "human rights" is probably the single biggest affront to truth and decency on the planet. When their entire populations of women are subjugated and oppressed, when common people who seek basic freedoms that we take for granted every day such as free expression, are met with murder in the streets, the real face of the Arab world is laid bare for everyone to see. And thanks to modern technology, everyone can see.

Obama Attacks A Country That Represented No Threat to the US

OK, lets review the moment. Unlike Bush, Nobel peace prize winner Barack Obama attacked a Muslim Arab country without even seeking congressional approval. Obama attacked an oil producing country (no blood for oil?) that represented no threat to the United States in any real way, ZERO. He attacked a dictator who by any standard of measurement was/is far less dangerous than Saddam Hussein was, by a factor of at least 100. He attacked a country and then headed off to what amounted to nothing more than tourist jaunt to Brazil. But hey, forget the US congress, the elected representatives of the American people, at least he sought the approval of the Arab League.

Of course, we support the mission and wish US forces, and wild-man Obama's policy of going all Bushy on Gaddafi. We hope for nothing but success in toppling another crazy Arab dictator. But the blatant hypocrisy is...ah... stunning to say the least.

Piers Morgan is certainly a breath of fresh air over that musty crusty Larry King. This is a rock solid interview:

Israeli Navy Uncovers Weaponry Intended for Terrorist Organization in the Gaza Strip...

Palestinian Terrorists Hack Family of "Settlers" to Death

This is what the left in the West is supporting by default. These children were not killed by an accident as a result of cowardly terrorists hiding behind them. They were targeted and deliberately murdered by Palestinian Muslim terrorist in their beds, as a matter of ideology. In Gaza, street celebrations broke out, and candy was passed out (just like after 9/11) to celebrate these murders. Undoubtedly, streets will be named after the murderers, as with other Palestinian murderers in the past:

NPR eager to Partner with the Muslim Brotherhood to counter "Zionist influence" in the media

Pure comedy gold from the Protocols of the Elders of NPR:
NPR's top fundraiser/bigot/racist/ grovels to people he thought were affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, for a $5,000,000 check. He savages Christians, Jews, Tea Party members, "Zionist" media outlets and all "ignorant Americans" who are not Democrats. It's not often when you get a liberal to say what he really thinks, but apparently he felt comfortable in the setting, with what he thought were his radical Islamist allies and all.

UPDATE: President and CEO of NPR, Vivian Schiller is fired.
UPDATE: Ron Schiller is cut loose from his new gig at the Aspen Institute.
UPDATE: Shoe #2: This just get better and better. Senior NPR Director Betsy Liley, told Muslim Brotherhood front that she may be able to shield them from government audit.

"Lebanese Brigades" Pledge to conqure Tel Aviv If Nasrallah So Commands

Sick

At a memorial for the man behind the bombing of the US Marine barracks in Beirut, Hezbollah Islamist terrorists take an oath to capture Tel Aviv if so ordered. Oh yeah, and notice the fancy Nazi salute:

Of course, Nazi salutes are nothing new for Islamist Israel-haters. Below is Palestinian leader Husseini, the Mufti of the Arab community in Jerusalem, saluting an SS honor guard. the Palestinian leadership were ardent supporters of Hitler and the holocaust. A fact that is conveniently forgotten today.

Government-Union Corruption 101

So let me get this straight; public employee unions force workers to pay dues. The unions then take those forced-dues and pay politicians. In exchange for the cash, the politicians vote ever-increasing wages and benefits for the unions at taxpayer expense. Sweet! Isn't America a great place! No wonder the unions are rioting to keep such a system in place:

History: Israel's Trophy "Windbreaker" System Intercepts Incoming Missile In Real Incident

Trophy Equipped Israeli Merk 4 Tank

This is likely to be a historic game-changer in tank warfare. Yesterday, an Israeli tank was attacked with an RPG by a Palestinian terrorist along the Gaza border. The tank, a Merk 4, was equipped with a new Trophy "Windbreaker" anti-missile protective shield. The system automatically detected the missile launched against the tank, and automatically launched a countermeasure that destroyed the incoming missile before it could reach its target. The tank and the crew were undamaged and the crew was momentarily unaware of what had happened since the entire exchange was automatic and instantaneous. The Trophy system identified where the missile was fired from allowing the Israelis to return fire, killing the terrorist. This is the first recorded incident ever of a tank destroying a missile launched at it. The Trophy is designed to take out multiple missile threats. A more advanced version currently in development will also destroy kinetic projectile threats such as incoming tank rounds, changing tank warfare as we know it. Israel is currently sharing the technology with the United States Military.

Theoretically at least, if the Trophy program is as successful as envisioned, Israeli heavy armor could be rolling through downtown Damascus in a matter of hours if given the order, with little to stop them. NATO tanks would be in a position to halt any Russian assault on Western Europe with much greater ease, US armor in asymmetric combat theaters such as Iraq or Afghanistan would be far less vulnerable to hit and run attacks. Of course, counter-measures to the counter measures could be developed, but those too could be counted over time as well. A real game-changer.

Wisconsin Senator chased, trapped by leftist Thugs

Unelected, thuggish union hacks, smelly leftist hippy-want-a-be's, "entitled" public employee leeches, free-loading tax-payer milkers, and generally, the bottom of the barrel of American society, almost lynch a duly elected State Senator in Wisconsin today.
