The Road to Guantanamo
YOU MUST WATCH THIS!!!
"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, & the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people." - Karl Marx
President George W. Bush's administration drafted amendments to the War Crimes Act that would retroactively protect policymakers from criminal charges for authorizing any humiliating or degrading treatment of prisoners, lawyers who have seen the proposal said.
yeah I bet
fucking bush....makes the laws, breaks the laws and then reforms the laws
WHAT A DOUCHE
Yeah....okay, that makes it all better
This is awfully interesting.....take note the date (2001)
Israel approves deeper offensive
I watched an incredibly disturbing video last night, Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land, and I just thought I'd share it with all of you. The video is similar to my previous post about censorship in America about the mideast crisis, in fact it even includes many of the same excerpts. The difference however is this one is an hour and 20 minutes and goes extremely in depth. It was concise and easy to understand......I definitely recommend it to anyone who wishes to understand the basic facts of the Israeli\Palestinian conflict. It is however also a documentary that should be viewed by every American and Canadian alike, regardless how educated they are on the matter. Lesson to be learned (among many): don't believe everything you see on TV!!! |
Watch above or at your own convenience here
UPDATE: the above video is not working at the moment....but since i have no life, I'm slaving away trying to fix it. Until then, you can click here to watch
Lebanon fighting continues as UN meets
born December 8, 1961, New York City) is an American author, columnist, and pundit. She frequently appears on television, radio, and as a speaker at public and private events
I'll let this broad speak for herself
Particularly in response to the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, Coulter has been notably critical of Arabs and Muslims. For example, in a column written on September 12, 2001, (a day after her friend, Barbara Olson, was killed in the attacks), she wrote,
"Airports scrupulously apply the same laughably ineffective airport harassment to Suzy Chapstick as to Muslim hijackers. It is preposterous to assume every passenger is a potential crazed homicidal maniac. We know who the homicidal maniacs are. They are the ones cheering and dancing right now. We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war."
Later, she advocated the use of racial profiling by airlines as a means to further target Arabs and Muslims in particular. She wrote in her column that she had reviewed the civil rights lawsuits against certain airlines to determine which airlines had subjected Arabs to the most, "egregious discrimination," so that she could fly only that airline. She also said that the airline should be bragging instead of denying any of the charges of discrimination brought against them. In an interview with the British Guardian newspaper, she quipped, "I think airlines ought to start advertising: 'We have the most civil rights lawsuits brought against us by Arabs.'" When asked what Muslims should do for travel, she responded that they, "could use flying carpets."
One comment that drew particularly harsh criticism, both from college student bloggers as well as fellow conservatives, was at a Conservative Political Action Conference, where she stated, "I think our motto should be, post-9-11: raghead talks tough, raghead faces consequences.
In her book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism, Coulter criticizes the four 9/11 widows known as the "Jersey Girls", writing that they abused their status as widows by acting as partisans to push for the 9/11 Commission, to harshly criticize the G.W. Bush administration and its security policies, and to campaign for presidential candidate John Kerry. The purportedly partisan activities of the, "Jersey Girls" have also been commented upon by other observers.
The reaction to Coulter's more recent comments from her book Godless invoked heated responses; In it Coulter wrote: These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis. These self-obsessed women seemed genuinely unaware that 9/11 was an attack on our nation and acted as if the terrorist attacks happened only to them. ... I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much ... the Democrat ratpack gals endorsed John Kerry for president ... cutting campaign commercials... how do we know their husbands weren't planning to divorce these harpies? Now that their shelf life is dwindling, they'd better hurry up and appear in Playboy."
And to complete my point.......
Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss carried the lead banner and walked with Imam Sayed Nabil Abbas, leading the 15,000 people in a peaceful demonstration.
"The Muslim countries and our cousins have shown us for hundreds of years, we always have coexisted in harmony," Weiss said.
Am I the only one who only heard about this a few days ago??? Hmmm American censorship again? First of all I am completely disgusted, but not surprised. If any of you are like me and have no idea about the facts of this case, read below:
Home of Abeer Qasim Hamza al-Janabi. Source: cnn
The medic, who was not named, said that when he entered the house in Mahmudiya on March 12, he found 14-year-old Abeer Qasim Hamza al-Janabi naked with her legs spread and burned from the waist up, with a single bullet wound beneath her left eye.
He also told the hearings on Sunday that he had found her six-year-old sister in an adjacent room with the back of her head blown out, and the bodies of both parents riddled with bullets. Four serving soldiers - Sergeant Paul Cortez, Specialist James Barker, Private Jesse Spielman and Private Bryan Howard - are charged with conspiring to rape the teenager.
I hate when they do these studies.....you can find links between anything but some researchers take a relationship between two variables and turn it into a cause and effect type deal. Anyway let's take a look at the article....
Montrealers, politicians march for Mideast peace
This should be a no brainer.......
I was reading perezhilton.com (gossip column extraordinaire) and came across this hilarious quote from the Dixie Chicks at a recent concert
Scores killed in Ethiopia floods
I choked on my coffee when I read this headline from the Associated press.
The video is of Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah apparently from Aug. 3rd. Basically He blames the United States for intentionally stopping cease-fire efforts and calls upon all "honorable men" to stand up to the current American Administration.
Okay.....this ongoing battle in the United States over whether or not Plan B (the morning after pill) should be available without prescription has me confused. Has the scientific evidence not shown that it is safe and effective? Does the Bush administration think that women are complete idiots? That we are not capable of taking two pills in one day?
Sitting over here in Montreal, I am lucky to have a variety of news outlets with a variety of opinions reporting on the crisis in Lebanon. It's because of this that I am increasingly alarmed about how these events are being portrayed in the United States. It's so Ironic that this nation, once believed to be the Mecca of democracy is now being infiltrated by propaganda.
