Women of Iran - Seen for the frist time since 1979

I know this is kind of trivial given the circumstances, but I can't help myself. Every guy I know has mentioned how surprised they are to see how beautiful and brave Iranian women are. Since 1979 the only women you see in Iran have been covered from head to toe. Suddenly, they are filling the streets and demonstrating alongside their male counterparts, and suddenly, the world is getting a good view of Iranian women beyond the Vail. I have even seen some women in the demonstrations removing their scarves all together.... and it is hard not to notice the strength and beauty of these incredible women!


Unfortunately, some of these beautiful women have ended up like Neda:
Any regime that has the heart to shoot dead a woman like Neda (on right in happier times), who is simply expressing her support for greater freedom, is beyond all humanity. Now imagine such a regime with nuclear weapons. And as Iranian democracy protesters die in the streets, Obama expresses his "concern" yesterday while stopping for ice cream:
Ahhh, yeah, yeah, sure, I'm concerned... No, seriously, I'm concerned:

Lazy, Fatcat, Big Media Party Down with Obama as Citizen Journalists Bring Us the Real News From Iran

Yep, tonight was the Washington TV and Radio Correspondents Dinner, where lazy, big media, overpaid fatcats sit around congratulating themselves for nothing. Meanwhile, on the the other side of the world, brave, un-compensated citizen-journalists, risk everything to bring us a picture of what is happening in Iran. What a contrast. You cannot find this stuff on mainstream TV. Only the Internet and a few brave souls bring this to you. Below is an example of a brave female citizen-journalist trying to let people know what is really happening right outside her window. Think of her when you see the big-ego media types digging into their creme brulee pretending to be "journalists":

Sotomayor: Not Only Racist But Sexist Too

Everyone by now is familiar with Judge Sotomayor's statements about how "a wise Latina woman" is more likely to be a better judge than a "white male." Just exchange 'Latina woman' with 'white male' and you begin to get the picture.

But now comes news that Sotomayor is a member of an exclusive women-only club. Imagine a Supreme Court nominee who was a member of a males only club. There would be hell to pay of course.

The American Bar Association's judicial code says that a judge's extrajudicial activities "must not be conducted in connection or affiliation with an organization that practices invidious discrimination." An organization is generally said to discriminate invidiously if it "arbitrarily excludes from membership on the basis of race, sex, gender, religion, national origin, ethnicity, or sexual orientation persons who would otherwise be eligible for admission." But don't worry folks, the fix is in and the nomination will sail right through.

Most who read this blog know that I sometimes exaggerate a bit to make a larger point, which in this case is: If you are a Dem, discrimination is not only allowed but encouraged; it just depends on whether it's the "right kind" of discrimination. Or what might be described as "socially acceptable" discrimination. Unfortunately, a few readers might be a little slow on the up-take and not get the nuances.

As Blood Runs Through The Streets, Obama Administration: 'US still up for Iran talks'

Well there you have it. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's demands a halt to street protests over Iran's disputed presidential election and threatens a crackdown that could turn bloody as early as tomorrow. Already numerous democracy protesters have been beaten to death in the streets. But hey, the United States does not believe that blood in the streets will complicate efforts to reach out to Tehran over its nuclear program, the White House said on Friday. What are a few thousand dead bodies between friends? Especially when you have a misguided policy to maintain. Below is just one example out of thousands now posted all over the Internet. Some are too gruesome to show:

Only 6% of Israelis Consider Obama Pro-Israel

GOOD LORD!!!! It seems that Israelis are a little less naive than American Jews, collectively the dumbest block of voters in America. Of course, Obama can turn things around, but as it stands right now, he's right up there with Saddam Hussein and Kim Jung Ill as far as his "pro-Israel" credentials are concerned. Ok, maybe that's a slight exaggeration. In any event, expectations are about as low as they have ever gotten for an American President in Israel, with only 6% viewing him as "pro-Israel". Move over Jimmy Carter, there's a new Middle East "expert" in town. The below poster is plastered on many walls across Israel. I do not find them to be fair, although they would be perfectly fair in relation to Obama's mentor of 20 years, the Reverend Wright.Meanwhile, a new scientific survey documents that American Jews' favorite political party are twice as likely to blame "Jews" for the current economic crisis. You cannot make this stuff up. Stupid is as stupid does.

Obama Fires Inspecter General Because He's "Senile". Beck Gives Him The Test on Live TV

Barack Obama illegally fired an Inspector General who was investigating his close friend Kevin Johnson for fraud and abuse of funds. When confronted, the administration claims they fired him because he's senile. OH MY GOD!!! Anyway, Glen Beck gives the fired "senile" Inspector General, Gerald Walpin, the official government senility test on live TV. This is the funniest piece of TV I've seen in a while:

REVOLUTION in IRAN!?

Sad Update: Mossad Chief believes that Iranian protests will die out in a few days rather than escalate into a full blown revolution. Hey, one can still dream, right? Anyway, Mossad is going to look pretty stupid if he's wrong. The next few weeks will tell the story.

Let us pray for the forces of tolerance and pluralism in Iran, that they will muster the courage to overcome decades of radical-Islamic oppression and that the forces of religious and racial arrogance represented by the Mullah's and Ahamedinejad are defeated, and brought to trial on their knees for their crimes; For killing woman who are not "properly" dressed, for hanging homosexuals in the streets; for threatening to destroy another country; for financing and arming violent terrorists and seeking nuclear weapons to terrorize the world....

There are those who point out that this is a struggle between two factions of the same regime, and in fact that is how this ball got rolling. Yet by now it is clear that the "reformist" camp is seeking to throw off the Mullah regime all together, and that needs to be supported. Let us pray that the weak Obama administration will find the strength to speak out loudly and forcefully in favor of those fighting for real change, instead of hiding in confusion and monitoring which way the wind is blowing like the immoral cowards that they are.

Cowardly Obama and Hillary Refuse to Stand up for Iran Democracy Demonstrators

What started as an election between the bad guy and the worse guy, could turn out to be an opportunity to overthrow the Iranian Mullah regime. But Obama and Hillary refuse to take a clear stand in support of those seeking to shed themselves of the oppressive regime. Shame.

UPDATE: Obama finally breaks his silence on the biggest news story in the world. Says he is "troubled" by the violence. Golly gosh gee.

MSNBC Confirms my Post From a Year Ago on Growing Glacier

The day that the Perito Moreno glacier stops growing, and stops naturally damming Lago Argentino, is the day that I will start becoming concerned about "global warming." Perito Moreno glacier is a far greater barometer than a few politically motivated activists. It is one gigantic indicator because its natural cycle is predictable and visually evident to everyone. It's like one giant climate-meter which will reflect changes if such changes occur.

Scientist are baffled. They claim that man-made "global warming" is shrinking glaciers, but as I reported over a year and a half ago, they simply cannot explain why the Perito Moreno glacier in Argentina is growing like gangbusters! Al Gore shamelessly used footage of naturally cleaving ice from Perito Moreno as evidence of "global warming" in his film 'An Inconvenient Truth'. Well, the inconvenient truth is that Perito Moreno is putting "global warming" cultist to shame. Finally, lefty media types like MSNBC are taking note. Below is my report from Perito Moreno a year and a half ago:

Malcolm Hoenlein: Jews ‘Very Concerned’ About Obama

I am floored by this interview by Ronald Kessler over at NewsMax. Malcolm Hoenlein is the executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, the umbrella group for all Jewish organization in America, and has been since the 80's. Given his position, he expresses his views cautiously. It is highly unusual for the Conference of Presidents to express "concern" about any US President and they usually go far out of their way to avoid any appearance of confrontation with the US President. Therefore you can imagine my amazement when I read the below article.

President Obama’s strongest supporters among Jewish leaders are deeply troubled by his recent Middle East initiatives, and some are questioning what he really believes, Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, tells Newsmax in an exclusive interview.

Though Hoenlein says he is only offering his personal views, the conference he represents is a political powerhouse that includes 50 major Jewish groups. Among them are the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), B’nai B’rith International, the American Jewish Congress, the American Jewish Committee, the Zionist Organization of America, Hadassah, and the Anti-Defamation League. Hoenlein has been the professional head of the conference since 1986, overseeing its day-to-day activities as the coordinating body for American Jews on issues of concern in the U.S. and globally.

Jewish leaders “are expressing concern about what was said [in Obama’s Cairo speech],” Hoenlein says. “I’ve heard it from some of his strongest supporters. It’s expected from his detractors. Even people close to him have said to us that there were parts of the speech that bothered them.”

Obama’s speech to a Muslim audience in Cairo in early June was his second effort early in his administration to re-define America’s posture toward the Arab world. In April, Obama traveled to Ankara, Turkey, to offer a similar outreach to the Muslim world.

But many in the Jewish community, including some of Obama’s most ardent supporters, are troubled by his comments in the Middle East, especially his remarks to his Cairo audience. Others are concerned that, facing a multitude of problems on the domestic front, Obama has traveled twice to the Middle East without visiting Israel, America’s stalwart ally in the region for more than a half-century.

“There’s a lot of questioning going on about what he really believes and what does he really stand for,” Hoenlein says of Obama’s outreach.

Reaction to Obama’s speech has drawn a range of reaction from many Jewish leaders. On the right, some have condemned it as a revision of the long and close relationship between the U.S. and Israel. But many on the left who backed Obama were also surprised and dismayed over Obama’s speech. Such reactions from major Jewish leaders have largely remained beneath the surface, exchanged privately among them.

Hoenlein’s comments to Newsmax are his first detailed appraisal of Obama’s speech and represent the first time a major Jewish leader has spoken openly about the erosion of Jewish support for Obama.

According to the exit poll conducted by major press organizations during the 2008 election, Obama captured overwhelming support from American Jews, winning 78 percent of their vote. Despite the fact that Republicans are stronger on national security and the war on terror, Obama also won support from Jewish leaders who have been champions of Israel’s security, such as the former Democratic mayor of New York, Edward I. Koch. Koch crossed party lines in 2004 to back George W. Bush.

Reacting to Obama’s Cairo speech, Hoenlein tells Newsmax, “I have no problem with addressing the Muslim world. I’m in fact in favor of outreach, and we here at the conference have done it for about 12 or 15 years, visiting Muslim countries in Central Asia and the Middle East. But the question is, what is the message they get? It’s not so much what he says, but how do they perceive what he says?”

On the one hand, Hoenlein says, “His reference to Israel and the special relationship being unbreakable is important, and references to persecution and Holocaust denial were important, and some of his references to some human rights issues also were important.”

But Hoenlein notes the speech included a number of troubling references and comparisons. He cites the fact that Obama claimed America has seven million Muslims. That is a figure “Arab propagandists have put out,” he says. “In fact, they say only six million, when in fact there’s no study that shows even half of that.”

In 2007, the Pew Research Center estimated the Muslim American population at 2.35 million.
Hoenlein is disturbed that Obama did not mention the Jewish people’s ancient connection with the land of Israel.

“There was no reference to the 3,000 years of Jewish connection to this land,” Hoenlein says. “And that is again one of the propaganda lines that the Arabs have used: that the Jews are interlopers, that the two temples never existed, that there was never any Jewish history in the land of Israel. Even Yasser Arafat and others have used that argument because they’re trying to deny the legitimacy of the Jewish state. I don’t believe that was the president’s intent, but not making those references I think is troubling.”

Jews have claimed a connection to the land of their forefathers since 1400 B.C. Even after the Roman destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D. and the dispersal of many Jews throughout the Roman Empire, many Jews continued to reside in Jerusalem through the centuries, surviving various invasions. An Ottoman census of Jersualem conducted in 1845 showed Jews outnumbered Muslim Arabs by almost to 2 to 1 and were the dominant ethnic group in the region.

Hoenlein believes that the most troubling aspect of Obama’s comments in his Cairo speech was his effort to equate the Nazi killing of more than six million Jews during the Holocaust with Israel’s struggle with the Palestinians over six decades and the suffering caused by the displacement of the Palestinians.

“There’s no comparison between the Holocaust, even if it was an indirect one, and what happened to Palestinians,” Hoenlein declares.

In his speech, President Obama addressed the issue of the Holocaust head-on, saying “Six million Jews were killed — more than the entire Jewish population of Israel today.”

But he quickly changed the subject, comparing Hitler’s genocide of the Jews to the Palestinian struggle.

“On the other hand,” Obama said, as he transitioned from the Holocaust to the modern Middle East, “it is also undeniable that the Palestinian people — Muslims and Christians — have suffered in pursuit of a homeland.”

Hoenlein doesn’t buy Obama’s line of reasoning.

“The Palestinian refugee problem, or dislocation as he said, didn’t come about because of the creation of the Jewish state,” Hoenlein says. “It came about because the Arab states declared war on Israel and warned the Arabs that they would suffer the same fate as the Jews if they didn’t get out. And then they kept them as political pawns.”

Obama made no reference to the fact that “the reason the Palestinians don’t have a state is because their leaders rejected every offer for peace,” Hoenlein says. “Whether it was in 1937 or 1947 or 1967, or later on, up until Ehud Olmert’s offer and Ehud Barak’s offer, they rejected everything, even when they were getting virtually everything they had asked for.”

That is because, “The problem really is not what Israel does, it’s that Israel is,” Hoenlein says. “And they’re not ready to accept the existence of the Jewish state.”

In discussing the Palestinian refugee problem, Obama failed to mention the other refugee problem involving nearly a million Jews, Hoenlein says. At the time of the creation of the modern state of Israel in 1948, Jews populated all of the major Arab cities from Baghdad in the East to Casablanca in the West.

Hoenlein notes that after modern Israel saw its rebirth, Jews “were driven out of Arab countries penniless, and some of their families had lived there for a thousand years, and yet there was no reference to them.” He adds, “This is not a question of tit for tat. It’s a question of the realities that are communicated to a vast audience in the Arab Muslim world.”

As troubling as Obama’s references to Israel and the Palestinians were, Hoenlein found the president’s failure to mention the radical regime now running Tehran equally disturbing.

”What concerned us, concerned many people, was the message to Iran that we didn’t hear,” Hoenlein says.

Iran, controlled by powerful Shia Mullahs, is set to acquire a nuclear device. Many Sunni Muslim states, including Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt, and Morocco, are concerned about this prospect.

Hoenlein says these Arab states also wanted to hear “an absolute assurance about the U.S. commitment not to allow Iran to be nuclear, not to allow it to continue to support terrorism, not to allow it to continue being the major state sponsor of terror around the world.”

Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who declared himself the winner in the election in Iran this past weekend, has repeatedly called for Israel’s destruction. In 2005, he declared that he is a devout follower of Iran’s late ruler Ayatollah Khomeini. He has vowed to fulfill the Ayatollah’s dream that the “occupying regime [Israel] must be wiped off the map.”

Asked if he sees Obama’s perceived tilt toward the Palestinians as reflecting some of the views of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jr., Obama’s former pastor who accused Israel of “ethnic cleansing” and “terrorism,” Hoenlein says American Jews are concerned about Obama’s policies today.

“That issue has been discussed and debated, and I don’t know that it’s a relevant concern for right now,” he says. “I do feel strongly about what the [current] policy will be.”

Hoenlein says flatly, “People [Jews] are genuinely very concerned...about President Obama.”

UPDATE: Arab Americans seek partnership with Obama administration

Will Sombody Please Give These People Guns!

This is why the founders wrote the first and the second amendments. So that people can express themselves freely and can defend themselves against a tyrannical regime trying to suppress freedom. If these people had guns, they would not be helpless sheep against the evil Mullah's of Iran. notice how people are beaten to death, the raw footage is incredible. Somebody please give these people guns.

Where is the CIA?

Below is raw footage of Iranian's taking to the streets today to demonstrate against the Ahamedinejad regime. They need to be supported right now. Now is the time for action... They need money, they need arms and organization to overthrow the Mullah's which they would gladly do if they had the resources, the leadership and the organizational abilities. They know what they want to do but have no idea how to go about achieving it. Where is Obama's CIA? Let's hope they are doing everything in their power to spark the counter-revolution. Let's hope they march on every government building, armed to the teeth and seize control by force from the oppressive Mullahs, arrest Ahmedinajad and the entire criminal gang holding Iran hostage since 1979. One can only dream.

Holocaust Denier who Openly Calls for the Destruction of Israel and is Seeking Nuclear Weapons to do so, wins Iran's Presidential Election

Hmmm, it seems the Iranian people haven't gotten the memo about 'hope and change'. It appears to be a landslide, probably fraudulent. Maybe one more Obama Islam-apology speech and tad more touchy-feely negotiations will do the trick?

UPDATE: Obama says he is excited about Iran's "robust election" debate. Good lord.

UPDATE: Riots break out across Tehran.

UPDATE: Opposition leader Mousavi arrested in Iran.

UPDATE: U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, meanwhile, said Saturday the U.S. hopes the outcome of the election reflects the genuine will and desire of the Iranian people. "We are monitoring the situation as it unfolds in Iran, but we, like the rest of the world, are waiting and watching to see what the Iranian people decide." Is it possible to issues a weaker statement?

Meanwhile, standing right next to Hillary at a new conference, Canadian Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon said his country was deeply concerned by reports of irregularities in the election. "We're troubled by reports of intimidation of opposition candidates' offices by security forces," Cannon said. Canada is calling on Iranian authorities to conduct fair and transparent counting of all ballots.

At least we can depend on Canada to issue a firm statement, while the US President and the US Secretary of State come across as the leaders of Greenland or something, certainly not as leaders of the free world.

UPDATE: North Korea: "Obama who?" We intend to fully weaponize our plutonium.

Obama's Spiritual Mentor: "Them Jews Aren't Going to Let Him Talk to Me"

UPDATE: Obama's spiritual mentor apologizes, meant to say "them Zionists", not "them Jews". Yeah, uh huh.

Obama's spiritual mentor, The Reverend Wright said: "Them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office. ...

"They will not let him to talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is. ... I said from the beginning: He's a politician; I'm a pastor. He's got to do what politicians do."

Wright also said Obama should have sent a U.S. delegation to the World Conference on Racism held recently in Geneva, Switzerland, but that the president did not do so for fear of offending Jews and Israel.

"Ethic cleansing is going on in Gaza. Ethnic cleansing of the Zionist is a sin and a crime against humanity, and they don't want Barack talking like that because that's anti-Israel," Wright said.

URGENT: Disgusting right-wing, white supremacist, Holocaust denying Neo-Nazi, 9/11 "Truther", Jew-hating racists idiot, shoots a security guard at the US Holocaust Museum. UPDATE: Hero security guard at Holocaust Museum dies of his wounds. UPDATE: Some guy who attended a vicious anti-Semitic "Church" for twenty years says that we need to be vigilant about anti-Semitism.

"Mr. Cool" Takes a Rest in Paris on the Public Steps

Supporters will call it "refreshing", critics will call it "undignified" for a President. I'm not sure what to think, although I have never seen a picture of a US President quite like this. Then we have the President giving us the soles of his shoes while conversing with international leaders. He is putting his shoes on the Resolute Desk, a truly historic piece of furniture that would be sitting at the Smithsonian if it was not in the Oval office underneath Obama's shoes.
Anyway, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is convinced that the Obama administration is seeking a public confrontation with Israel to gain street-cred in the Arab world. This, as Israel's Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Ya'alon belittles Obama's Iran policy. Amazingly, Obama opposes nuclear power in the United States, but supports Iran's "right" to nuclear power. WOW!

Truth, Truth and More Truth

Obama: We Can't Ask Iran or North Korea to Disarm Without Taking Steps to Disarm Ourselves

The things that come out of this mans mouth continue to astonish me. it is simply amazing to me how blind people are to stupidity and are such slaves to style over substance. Sarkozy is clearly thinking to himself, what an empty suit; I guess I'll have to play along:

Conservatives Sweep Election Results in Europe. Lebanon Clings to Hope after Hezbollah Defeat

Reading the press you would think that everybody in Europe is enthralled with Obama. The truth is of course that there is no Obama-mania in Europe and there never was. There are a bunch of leftist over there who love him as they love Che Guevara, nothing more. Evidence? Conservatives swept the EU Parliament elections today, and maintain control of all major EU states such as Italy, Germany and France. Gordon Brown in the UK would be ousted by conservatives in a heartbeat if only an election were allowed to be scheduled. in Holland, Greet Wilders' Freedom Party came very close to becoming the largest party in Holland only three years after its establishment, as socialists lost half their seats.

In Lebanon, Obama's negotiating partners in Iran were disappointed to see that their proxies in Lebanon, Hezbollah, were defeated. Moderate, pro-Western forces retain power, but Hezbollah will remain a fully armed, separate terrorist militia in that country.

Hillary to Iran: Don't Nuke Israel or Something May Happen

This should make Israel feel much safer now that Hillary has taken a firm verbal position against nuking Israel. The Obama administration is not so much against Iran having nukes as it is with the idea that Iran may consider nuking Tel Aviv, which apparently is the Obama administrations red line. Yeah, I'm sure this is a real confidence builder for Israel. Good lord.

Pathological Insanity. Even Stalin and Hitler Would be Blushing:

This is what is happening on American TV news these days. Literally, pathological insanity of the kind that would make even Stalin blush. Please watch this little segment from MSNBC and ask yourself if this seems normal?

And notice Chris Matthew saying "yeah" in the background.
