Things aren’t looking good. Depending on who you want to listen to, this could be as bad or worse than Chernobyl. Even if it isn’t, it’ll still be pretty bad.

I’m no military expert, but I’d guess that any war that goes on this long will lose voter support. It just seems to be dragging on with no end in sight, and nobody wants a modern version of the Hundred Years War.
Glenn Beck, among others, has been reporting on Virginia Ironside’s recent comments about smothering suffering children on the BBC:
Needless to say, the outrage is pretty widespread. I always figured a mom would want her kid CURED to end the suffering, not dead. Seems I’m not alone.
However, something else in the Guardian’s article about this controversy caught my eye:
Her latest comments were made as doctors prepared to lobby for a change in the law to allow people to help the terminally ill to die.
Well, a quick google search yielded this: “Doctors and nurses launch campaign for right to help terminally ill to end their lives”. Basically, a doctors’ group in the UK wants to legalize assisted suicide. Now, it could be argued that a person deserves the right to decide when to end their own life. I’m not denying that. I’m just a little scared as to what doors this will lead us to open next.
I suspect a day is coming when you won’t be allowed in an airport parking lot, much less the airport itself, if you aren’t actually flying somewhere.

The peace talks are a farce. They always are. It’s all part of a plan to make Israel look like the bad guy, all the while working to drive the Jewish people out of their land.
Reason? Drug demand in the U.S. I’m about as straight edged as a person can be, so legalization of any currently illegal drugs wouldn’t impact me, but I think legalization is a good idea just to end the slaughter going on south of the U.S. border.
So, a recent New York Times article reports that Russian nuclear submarines have been patrolling off the east coast of the United States.
What does this mean? Well, communist or not, Russia’s approach to the world remains the same; they seek the leadership spot that belongs to the U.S. While it looks like they don’t have the military prowess once possessed by the U.S.S.R., they do have nuclear capability, and that alone means they should be taken seriously.
I’m not advocating a preemptive strike or anything, but it’ll be interesting to see where this goes.

Honduras is doing what’s right in removing their President. We need to stop siding with socialist dictators and LET THE HONDURANS ENFORCE THEIR LAWS.
So, it’s been about a week or so since the swine flu became big news, and 2 or 3 days since the media and World Health Organization changed the name of the illness to the H1N1 virus to keep pig farmers happy. After all that time, you think we’d realize it just isn’t a big problem at the moment.
For starters, Mexico, described as the “epicenter” of this potential pandemic, is saying the swine flu is on the decline. In addition, according to the same article, there are experts claiming this may be no worse that the plain ol’ seasonal flu (which kills 250,000 to 500,000 annually, so it isn’t exactly a tame illness).
On the other side of the coin, the WHO is claiming H1N1 could return “with a vengeance,” so we can’t let our guard down.
Well, at this point, I’d say we’re seriously overreacting, and the WHO is just trying to save face. Cases in the U.S. have been mild enough that a regular over-the-counter flu medication and rest can remedy it. Quite simply, this “pandemic” is so mild it’s laughable.
Just for fun: Courtesy of the Mental Floss Blog, here are a few propaganda PSAs from the 1976 swine flu scare designed to get people to take the vaccine that was available at the time. Why is it no longer available? Well, it killed 25 people and paralyzed several more; it was more dangerous than the actual flu!
From the WaPo:
A Pentagon review of conditions at the Guantanamo Bay military prison has concluded that the treatment of detainees meets the requirements of the Geneva Conventions but that prisoners in the highest-security camps should be allowed more religious and social interaction, according to a government official who has read the 85-page document.
So, does this mean Gitmo stays open? I wouldn’t put money on it. The liberal view is always going to be that torture is morally wrong, and that these people should be in a normal prison, tying up our legal system, or just sent home (where they can regroup and attack us again). I expect Obama to stay on that side of the fence, no matter what any study he commissions says.

From Fox News:
The FBI is severing its once-close ties with the nation’s largest Muslim advocacy group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, amid mounting evidence that it has links to a support network for Hamas.
Named as an un-indicted co-conspirator after a 15 year investigation that came to a head at the Holy Land Foundation trial. Yep, that’s a pretty good reason to sever ties.
Remember the scene in the movie Blow where George Jung (played by Johnny Depp) claimed to have entered prison with a Bachelor’s in marijuana, but was leaving with a Master’s in cocaine? I have the feeling we’ll be seeing the terrorism equivalent of that happening down in Florence really soon:
Gov. Bill Ritter supports the idea of bringing terror suspects to Colorado to be housed at the federal Supermax prison in Florence.
From IHT:
A Muslim scholar chosen to speak at President-elect Barack Obama’s inaugural prayer service Wednesday is the leader of a group that federal prosecutors say has ties to terrorists.
Honestly, things like this make me wonder if we’ve been duped or if Obama is just that naive about the connections of these people. Neither is good.
Also, while it’s entirely possible this is a mistake, do you really let someone with who’s ties are in question get that close to the President?
From Fox News:
A quickly growing jihadist group that used Facebook to spread its radical message has been shut down by the popular Web networking site after FOXNews.com alerted the company to the group’s activities.
I have to be honest, these are the types of things I initially write off as “silly.” However, online life is real life nowadays, and it’s good to see Facebook on top of these things.
The terrorist siege in Mumbai killed 195 and wounded 295, but they were hoping for more:
Azam Amir Kasab, 21, the only terrorist to survive a raid by Indian commandos, told authorities that the attacks included 10 terrorists in a heavily orchestrated plan devised six months ago, that hoped to kill 5,000 people — targeting mostly “whites, preferably Americans and British,” the Mail reported.
It was a bloody mess, but it could’ve been so much worse.
The siege continues, and I’m not sure it’s getting any better.
Black-clad Indian commandoes raided two luxury hotels to try to free hostages Thursday, and explosions and gunshots shook India’s financial capital a day after attacks by suspected Muslim militants killed at least 119 people.
From Fox News:
Al Qaeda No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahiri insulted Barack Obama in the terror group’s first reaction to his election, calling him a demeaning racial term implying that the president-elect is a black American who does the bidding of whites.
For reference, here’s the amlocolm X speech referenced:
To understand this, you have to go back to what [the] young brother here referred to as the house Negro and the field Negro — back during slavery. There was two kinds of slaves. There was the house Negro and the field Negro. The house Negroes – they lived in the house with master, they dressed pretty good, they ate good ’cause they ate his food — what he left. They lived in the attic or the basement, but still they lived near the master; and they loved their master more than the master loved himself. They would give their life to save the master’s house quicker than the master would. The house Negro, if the master said, “We got a good house here,” the house Negro would say, “Yeah, we got a good house here.” Whenever the master said “we,” he said “we.” That’s how you can tell a house Negro.
If the master’s house caught on fire, the house Negro would fight harder to put the blaze out than the master would. If the master got sick, the house Negro would say, “What’s the matter, boss, we sick?” We sick! He identified himself with his master more than his master identified with himself. And if you came to the house Negro and said, “Let’s run away, let’s escape, let’s separate,” the house Negro would look at you and say, “Man, you crazy. What you mean, separate? Where is there a better house than this? Where can I wear better clothes than this? Where can I eat better food than this?” That was that house Negro. In those days he was called a “house nigger.” And that’s what we call him today, because we’ve still got some house niggers running around here.
This modern house Negro loves his master. He wants to live near him. He’ll pay three times as much as the house is worth just to live near his master, and then brag about “I’m the only Negro out here.” “I’m the only one on my job.” “I’m the only one in this school.” You’re nothing but a house Negro. And if someone comes to you right now and says, “Let’s separate,” you say the same thing that the house Negro said on the plantation. “What you mean, separate? From America? This good white man? Where you going to get a better job than you get here?” I mean, this is what you say. “I ain’t left nothing in Africa,” that’s what you say. Why, you left your mind in Africa.
On that same plantation, there was the field Negro. The field Negro — those were the masses. There were always more Negroes in the field than there was Negroes in the house. The Negro in the field caught hell. He ate leftovers. In the house they ate high up on the hog. The Negro in the field didn’t get nothing but what was left of the insides of the hog. They call ‘em “chitt’lin’” nowadays. In those days they called them what they were: guts. That’s what you were — a gut-eater. And some of you all still gut-eaters.
The field Negro was beaten from morning to night. He lived in a shack, in a hut; He wore old, castoff clothes. He hated his master. I say he hated his master. He was intelligent. That house Negro loved his master. But that field Negro — remember, they were in the majority, and they hated the master. When the house caught on fire, he didn’t try and put it out; that field Negro prayed for a wind, for a breeze. When the master got sick, the field Negro prayed that he’d die. If someone come [sic] to the field Negro and said, “Let’s separate, let’s run,” he didn’t say “Where we going?” He’d say, “Any place is better than here.” You’ve got field Negroes in America today. I’m a field Negro. The masses are the field Negroes. When they see this man’s house on fire, you don’t hear these little Negroes talking about “our government is in trouble.” They say, “The government is in trouble.” Imagine a Negro: “Our government”! I even heard one say “our astronauts.” They won’t even let him near the plant — and “our astronauts”! “Our Navy” — that’s a Negro that’s out of his mind. That’s a Negro that’s out of his mind.
Just as the slavemaster of that day used Tom, the house Negro, to keep the field Negroes in check, the same old slavemaster today has Negroes who are nothing but modern Uncle Toms, 20th century Uncle Toms, to keep you and me in check, keep us under control, keep us passive and peaceful and nonviolent. That’s Tom making you nonviolent. It’s like when you go to the dentist, and the man’s going to take your tooth. You’re going to fight him when he starts pulling. So he squirts some stuff in your jaw called novocaine, to make you think they’re not doing anything to you. So you sit there and ’cause you’ve got all of that novocaine in your jaw, you suffer peacefully. Blood running all down your jaw, and you don’t know what’s happening. ‘Cause someone has taught you to suffer — peacefully.
Is Zawahiri seriously trying to incite a race war?
From The Sydney Morning Herald:
Osama bin Laden is planning an attack against the United States that will “outdo by far” September 11, 2001, an Arab newspaper in London has reported.
It’s hard to say how accurate this is. Let’s face it, the fear of terror attacks is just as much of a tool as actual attacks in accomplishing a goal. However, in the past 7 years we’ve grown complacent, and it really seems the American people are migrating back to a pre-9/11 mindset in large groups. We’ve lost our grasp on the world we live in, and have forgotten exactly how dangerous Osama bin Laden really is.
As much as I’d like to say otherwise, I have a great fear that we’ll see another huge attack within Obama’s first year. The Republican party is seen as the one more ready to deal with terrorism, and I suspect our enemies will be banking on that.
