"Get the %*^%* Jews Out of My Pool"

Shangri-la Hotel, Santa Monica, California


Here's a "heartwarming" story-not out of Nazi Germany, when Jews were prohibited from using public swimming pools- but from Santa Monica, California in 2010, where a hotel owner reportedly objected to Jews using the hotel swimming pool.

This is unacceptable. It heartens back not only to Nazi Germany, but the days of Jim Crow in the American South, when blacks were not allowed to use public swimming pools. There was also a time in my own childhood when Jews in Los Angeles were kept out of certain golf clubs; thus, they had to create their own (Hillcrest Golf Course).We thought we had left these days behind us.

DOJ's Thomas Perez on the Hot Seat

Thomas Perez
Asst. Attorney General






This week, Justice Department Asst. Attorney General Thomas Perez testified before a House Constitution Committee. Perez is one of Eric Holder's top henchmen in DOJ and is a driving force behind many of the Department's questionable activities. In this exchange, Trent Franks (R-AZ) asked him about whether DOJ would consider any legislation against speech critical of any religion. Vlad Tepes has posted Perez's lack of a response.


http://vladtepesblog.com/?p=50919

Of course, this exchange comes in light of efforts by the 56-member Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the largest voting bloc in the UN, to have a resolution passed that would call on all nations to criminalize speech that "defames" religion. Of course, the OIC really only cares about one religion since many, if not most, if not all of their own countries persecute religious minorities (which goes way beyond "defaming").

To our American ears, this would seem laughable given our First Amendment. Yet, with this current administration and Justice Department in office, Perez's previous endorsement of the OIC agenda (see link), as well as the fact that Hillary Clinton has already held two closed-door meetings with the OIC on this very issue, it seems that Rep. Franks' question is pertinent. I should add that Rep. Franks is one of the few in Washington who has spoken out on these dangers.

Perez, in typical Holder DOJ fashion, is evasive and cannot answer a simple yes or no question. He knows exactly what the issue is. I take his evasion as further proof that this administration and this Justice Department would love to find a way to silence their opposition.




Muslim Persecution of Christians: June, 2012

By Findalis



U.S.-backed rebels are committing Christian genocide in Syria, where they are sacking churches and issuing threats that all Christians will be cleansed from rebel-held territory. A mass exodus of thousands of Christians is taking place, even as mainstream Western reporters, such as Robert Fisk, demonize these same Christians for being supportive of the secular regime.

The bloody jihad waged against Nigeria's Christians, which has seen hundreds killed this year alone, now includes plans to kill Christians with poisoned food, as part of the Islamic organization Boko Haram's stated goal of purging Nigeria of all Christian presence.

During Egypt's presidential elections, Al Ahram reported that "the Muslim Brotherhood blockaded entire streets; prevented Copts, at gunpoint, from voting and threatened Christian families not to let their children go out and vote" for the secular candidate.

Meanwhile, under President Obama, the U.S. State Department, in an unprecedented move, purged the sections dealing with religious persecution from its recently released Country Reports on Human Rights. Similarly, the Obama administration insists that the Nigeria crisis has nothing to do with religion, even as Obama offered his hearty blessings to Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood president, in the midst of allegations of electoral fraud.

Categorized by theme, June's assemblage of Muslim persecution of Christians around the world includes, but is not limited to, the following accounts, listed in alphabetical order by country, not severity.

Church Attacks

Egypt: Because many visitors were in attendance, Muslims surrounded a Coptic church during divine liturgy, "demanding that the visiting Copts leave the church before the completion of prayers, and threatening to burn down the church if their demands were not met." The priest contacted police and asked for aid, only to be told to comply with their demands, "and do not let buses with visitors come to the church anymore." Christian worshippers exited halfway through liturgy; they were subjected to jeers outside. As the Christians drove away, Muslims hurled stones at their buses. Also, repairs to a Coptic church that was torched and gutted a year ago by rioting Muslims were woefully inadequate, leaving the congregation with a staggering debt from further necessary repairs.

Indonesia: A Muslim mob of 300 wrecked a store that was being used for a Sunday church service on the pretext that it had not obtained "permission to hold Mass." The mob wrecked the first floor of the store, breaking windows and damaging furniture. Police stopped the mob before it reached the third floor, where some 60 Christians had congregated. Twelve Christians were taken into custody for questioning; none of the Muslims was arrested.

Separately, in compliance with calls by Islamic clerics, authorities ordered 20 churches to be torn down after the closure last month of 16 smaller Christian places of worship in the same district. The congregations continue to hold services inside their sealed-off buildings as a few members stand guard outside.

Iran: Authorities ordered the closure of yet another church in the capital, Tehran, "amid a government campaign to crack down on the few recognized churches offering Farsi-speaking services," according to a human rights group. The church originally served Christians of an Assyrian background; however, "due to an increasing number of Farsi-speaking believers—mostly [MMBs] Muslim Background Believers—it [the church] has become a cause of concern for the authorities and they now ordered it to shut down."

Kashmir: A 119-year-old church was torched by Muslims. The local bishop "said that the Muslim fundamentalists want Christians to leave the state…. He said that the church had filed a case with the police but had been advised not to 'play up' such incidents." Christian minorities "are coming under growing threat from Kashmir's Muslim majority. A Christian human rights group in India said that over 400 Christians have been displaced as a result."

Kazakhstan: Land use regulations are being exploited "as a means to prevent religious communities and their members exercising freedom of religion or belief." Most recently, authorities "forced a Methodist church to close 'voluntarily'," and fined the wife of the Church's Pastor, who paid for an announcement in newspapers; it said the church was "liquidating itself," because "We do not want more punishment from the authorities."
Nigeria: Islamic militants attacked several churches with bombs and guns during every Sunday of the month; they killed dozens of Christian worshippers, and critically wounded hundreds, including many children. Growing numbers of Christians "dare not" attend church services anymore, even as reports suggest that some police are intentionally abandoning their watch prior to such attacks.

Sudan: Authorities bulldozed two church buildings to the ground and confiscated three Catholic schools, as a response to the secession of South Sudan in July 2011; the authorities said that such buildings, largely associated with the South Sudanese Christians in this Islamic-ruled country, are now unwelcome. Another church building belonging to the Full Gospel Church was destroyed in the same area two months ago, also on the claim that it belonged to the South Sudanese.

Turkmenistan: An Evangelical church in this Muslim-majority nation was raided by authorities: "All adult believers at the meeting were questioned about their faith and all of their Christian literature was confiscated." Their literature was returned two weeks later.

Apostasy, Blasphemy, Proselytism

Egypt: A Christian student handing out Christian literature in Assuit University "raised the ire of Muslim students;" this action apparently resulted in clashes on campus, and caused many injuries "amid shouts of sectarian chants." Likewise, a Salafi leader declared on Egyptian TV that Muslims have no right "to convert to Christianity."

Iran: Five months after five Christian converts were arrested, their condition and fate remain unknown. They are accused of "attending house church services, promoting Christianity, agitating against the regime and disturbing national security." Being imprisoned for 130 days without word "is an obvious example of physical and mental abuse of the detainees…. One of the prison guards openly told one of those Christian detainees that all these pressures and uncertainties are intended to make them flee the country after they are released." In addition, a young Iranian woman, who recently converted to Christianity and was an outspoken activist against the Islamic regime, was found dead, slumped over her car's steering wheel, with a single gunshot wound to her head.

Pakistan: A banned Islamic group filed a blasphemy case against a 25-year-old Christian man, later deemed mentally retarded. Muslims had converted him to Islam two years earlier, to use him as a pretext to annex his Christian village. In the words of a witness: "These people [Muslims] do not let us live. We are poor but are working hard to survive. On the night of the incident a mob of Muslim clerics gathered [around] our colony to burn us all because of the blasphemy Ramzan [the retarded man] committed. Everyone was scared. We all have small children in our houses and we didn't know what to do. The mob surrounded our colony and shouted a slogan to burn all the houses; they had torches in their hands and petrol in the cans. We called police; thank God the police arrived just in time."

Saudi Arabia: Thirty-five Ethiopian Christians who were arrested in December for praying in a private home remain jailed, even as Saudi officials offer contradictory reasons for their arrest. Meanwhile, the Ethiopian Christians have been beaten and subjected to interrogations and strip searches. Saudi Arabia formally bans all religions other than Islam. In 2006, Saudi authorities told the United States that they would "guarantee and protect the right to private worship for all, including non-Muslims who gather in homes for religious practice."

Sudan: A Muslim woman divorced her husband, a convert to Christianity; the court therefore automatically granted her custody of their two sons. When their father tried to visit his children, his wife threatened to notify authorities. "They might take the case to a prosecution court, which might lead to my being sentenced to death according to Islamic apostasy law—but I am ready for this," said the Christian. "I want the world to know this. What crime have I done? Is it because I became a Christian? I know if the world is watching, they [the Sudanese authorities] will be afraid to do any harm to me."

United States: Two Christian men in Saint Louis, Missouri received death threats from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard, apparently for converting to Christianity and preaching it. One of the men formerly served in the Revolutionary Guard and was once even assigned a suicide mission against Israel, before converting and immigrating to the U.S. "The two men believe that Islam is a religion that could easily radicalize a Muslim into a terrorist." Similarly, in Dearborn Michigan, Christian demonstrators exercising their free speech rights were stoned by Muslims shouting, "Allahu Akbar!" ["Allah is Greater!"].

Dhimmitude
[General Abuse, Debasement, and Suppression of non-Muslims as "Tolerated" Citizens]

Indonesia: "The number of violations of Christians' religious rights in Indonesia reached 40 in the first five months of the year, nearly two-thirds the amount of anti-Christian actions in all of last year," according to the Jakarta Christian Communication Forum. The Christian minority in Indonesia faced 64 cases of violations of religious freedom last year, up from 47 in 2010." Violence against Christians also increased.
Mali: "Islamists in control of northern Mali are enforcing a strict version of Sharia law that victimizes Christians, women and other vulnerable groups." The radicals took control of northern Mali in April after ousting the armed forces of the government of Mali. "All the Christians have left Timbuktu (the main city in north Mali) because of the Sharia law as well as because of the presence of people linked with al-Qaeda," said a Christian leader who fled from northern Mali.

Pakistan: Police are siding with the Muslims accused of beating a pregnant Christian woman, causing her to miscarry twins, and gang-raping her 13-year-old Christian niece. "Muslim criminals believe police and courts will give little credence to the complaints of Christians in the country, which is nearly 96 percent Muslim," adds the report. The Christian family is "paying a huge price for being poor … and for being Christian," said the uncle. "What can we expect from the police when they are not paying heed even to the court orders? They are distorting facts and have even gone to the extent of accusing a 13-year-old [raped girl] of committing adultery with three men." Another Christian politician's ID mistook him for a Muslim, causing him to insist "on the floor of the Punjab Assembly that he was born a Christian and appealed to them and the media not to indulge in propaganda against him that could incite Muslim extremists to kill him."

Turkey: Thousands of devout Muslims prayed outside the Hagia Sophia—formerly Christendom's greatest cathedral, now a museum—shouting, "Allahu Akbar!" and demanding that the building be opened as a mosque in honor of the jihadi sultan who conquered Constantinople in the 15th century.

South Africa: More than 70 students were kicked out of the Coastal KZN As-Salaam campus dormitories and are currently homeless because campus officials tried to make the students observe Islam, including by banning Bibles, which the students resisted. "All we wanted was to be free to practice our own religions and not be forced to follow Islam, but now we have been punished by being deprived of safe accommodation," said one student.

About this Series

Because the persecution of Christians in the Islamic world is on its way to reaching epidemic proportions, "Muslim Persecution of Christians" was developed to collate some—by no means all—of the instances of persecution that surface each month. It serves two purposes:
  1. To document that which the mainstream media does not: the habitual, if not chronic, Muslim persecution of Christians.
  2. To show that such persecution is not "random," but systematic and interrelated—that it is rooted in a worldview inspired by Sharia.
Accordingly, whatever the anecdote of persecution, it typically fits under a specific theme, including hatred for churches and other Christian symbols; sexual abuse of Christian women; forced conversions to Islam; apostasy and blasphemy laws that criminalize and punish with death those who "offend" Islam; theft and plunder in lieu of jizya (financial tribute expected from non-Muslims); overall expectations for Christians to behave like dhimmis, or second-class, "tolerated" citizens; and simple violence and murder. Sometimes it is a combination.
Because these accounts of persecution span different ethnicities, languages, and locales—from Morocco in the West, to India in the East, and throughout the West wherever there are Muslims—it should be clear that one thing alone binds them: Islam—whether the strict application of Islamic Sharia law, or the supremacist culture born of it.

February Town Hall on Shariah at Islamic Center of Orange County

On February 19, 2012, I attended a public town hall meeting at the Islamic Center of Orange County to discuss the compatibility of sharia law to US law and our Constitution. The theme of the event was that sharia is in conformance with our Constitution. Below is the posting I did at that time.

http://garyfouse.blogspot.com/2012/02/town-hall-at-islamic-center-of-orange.html

During the event, Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez objected to the fact that certain members of the audience were videotaping. People were asked to turn off their cameras unless they were official videographers for the event.

Yet a certain amount was videotaped. Here are three segments. They show the initial remarks by three members of the panel, Michael Downing, Chief of LAPD's counter-terror group, Lee Baca, Sheriff of Los Angeles County, and Maxine Waters, Congresswoman from Los Angeles.





















Keep in mind that, as  I reported in the above link, I engaged Chief Downing in conversation immediately after the event. At that time, I told him that in 1992, head Imam Muzammil Siddiqi had hosted the Blind Sheikh, Omar Abdel Rahman (now imprisoned on terror charges), at the mosque, had allowed him to give a sermon on violent jihad, and had translated his words from Arabic to English. Downing's response?

"Well, you know, Gary, over time some people change."

Congressional Reform Act of 2012

By Findalis

Hat Tip Texas Fred



If only this were a reality. It’s NOT, but we can make it real! It all starts with an idea, and moves along when We, The People of courage have the fortitude to make it so. Here is how it would work:

1. No Tenure / No Pension.

2. A Member of Congress collects a salary while in office and receives no pay once they’re out of office.

3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.

4. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. These funds may not be used for any other purpose.

5. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans can.

6. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

7. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

8. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

9. All contracts with past and present Congressional members will be held null and void effective 12/1/12. 

Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

If each person reading this contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive the message. Don’t you think it’s time?

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!

When I was sent this earlier I immediately thought of how well it ties in with my post from a couple of days ago: A return to government as the Founders intended: the Citizen Legislator

Don’t think I have anything against ANY particular Congresscritter, I don’t, but no one, man or woman, needs to spend their entire life in the Congress, Senate or on a Federal Bench as a Judge!

If you agree, copy it and pass it on, send links to this page to all of your friends, post it on YOUR blog, whatever the case may be, it needs to be seen by as many Conservative Americans as possible.

If you don’t agree, just ignore it and go along as you have been.

Michele Bachmann's Reply to Keith Ellison

http://garyfouse.blogspot.com



Hat tip Creeping Sharia



Today, you may have heard Senator John McCain speak publicly on behalf of Hillary Clinton's adviser Huma Abedin, the Arab Muslim wife of ex-Congressman Anthony Weiner. McCain feels that members of his own party have unfairly questioned Abedin's loyalty since she reportedly has family members with Muslim Brotherhood connections. This was all prompted by a recent letter to the State Department signed by Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and four other members of Congress concerning Dept. of State contacts with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. The letter can be read here.

In addition, Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison, also a Muslim, has written to Bachmann demanding to know the basis for any accusations against Ms Abedin. The below report is from Creeping Sharia and contains the complete text of Bachmann's reply to Ellison.

http://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2012/07/18/michelle-bachmann-exposes-keith-ellisons/

First of all, the Bachmann et al letter did not specifically accuse Abedin of anything. It pointed out family connections and questioned the wisdom of giving her a security clearance. It was Ellison who put his own interpretation on it. I personally agree that there is no solid basis for accusing Abedin of any disloyalty. In her reply to Ellison, Bachmann makes clear there is no accusation, only a question as to her security clearance.

Yet, the statements by Bachmann in her reply to Ellison regarding the Muslim Brotherhood have a solid basis for concern.

If you read Bachmann's reply to Ellison, she points out the Brotherhood letter that was seized by the FBI and introduced in the Holy Land Foundation trial in Dallas (2007), in which the role of the Brotherhood in North America is "eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within". (p 2-3) This was the same document that I confronted Brotherhood spokesman Ibrahim El Houdaiby with at UC Irvine in 2008 when he was invited to speak to a UCI class. He claimed the document was a forgery and insisted that the Muslim Brotherhood had no presence in the US-both lies.

http://garyfouse.blogspot.com/2008/10/muslim-brotherhood-speaker-appears-at.html

Also note the reference to the Islamic Society of North America in Bachmann's letter. The former head of this organization is Imam Muzammil Siddiqi, currently the head of the Islamic Center of Orange County (CA). Siddiqi is the much bally-hooed "bridge builder", who received an award last year from the Orange County Human Relations Commission. Yet, he is one of 100 American Muslim leaders who received-and ignored a 2009 letter from Former Muslims United asking them to sign a pledge that American Muslim apostates should not be harmed. He denied to me having ever received the letter.

http://garyfouse.blogspot.com/2008/10/muslim-brotherhood-speaker-appears-at.html

In my view, the Bachmann letter to Ellison fully answers his questions. I'm glad that Rep. Bachmann gets it when it comes to the Muslim Brotherhood.

7 Dead Because They Were Jews! UPDATED

By Findalis


7 are dead, over 30 are wounded, 9 are missing by a murderer who bordered a bus at the airport in Burgas, Bulgaria on the Black Sea.  Hizbollah has taken credit for this attack and Hizbollah doesn't act without Iran's approval.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is promising a strong reaction after an attack on Israeli tourists that he says was carried out by Iran.

A bus carrying mostly Israeli youth in a Bulgaria exploded near an airport Wednesday, killing 7 people and wounding at least 30 others, local police and hospital officials say. Witnesses told Israeli media that the huge blast occurred soon after someone boarded the vehicle.

A Bulgarian news agency is also reporting that two pregnant women and an 11-year-old Israeli girl are among the wounded.

Bulgarian media is reporting that one of the victims killed is a local tour guide. Nine of the tourists are reportedly still missing, according to Haaretz news.

The incident took place in the Black Sea resort city of Burgas, some 250 miles east of the capital, Sofia. Images shown on Israeli media showed smoke billowing from the scene -- a parking lot at the area's airport where tourists had apparently just landed.


Netanyahu said "all signs point to Iran."

This "is an Iranian terror attack that is spreading across the world," Netanyahu said. "Israel will react strongly to Iran's terror."

Burgas Mayor Dimitar Nikolov told Haaretz that explosives were placed in the back of the bus.

The attack comes on the anniversary of a 1994 attack on a Jewish center in Buenos Aires, Argentina, that killed 85 people. Just this morning, relatives of the victims implored the Argentine government to pressure Iran to turn over seven suspects accused in that attack.

Bulgaria, an eastern European nation, is a popular tourist destination for Israelis.

Although it was not yet certain what caused the blast, Israeli tourists have been targeted in attacks before before, namely in India, Thailand and Azerbaijan. Israel foe Iran is suspected of being behind these assaults.

Another spokesman for the Israeli ministry would not confirm that it was an attack. "We don't know if it was a terror attack," Paul Hirschson said. "We do know it was an explosion."

Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Jonathan Rosenzweig said a flight from Tel Aviv had landed at a quarter to 5 p.m. and that the blast took place about 40 minutes later.

The tourists were apparently boarding the bus en route to their hotels.

The airport in Burgas was closed after the blast. At least 10 fire trucks are battling flames from the explosion, police say.

Witness Gal Malka told Israel's Channel 2 TV that she saw someone board the bus before it exploded. She also noted that the bus was full of Israeli teenagers.

Officials said Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman had spoken with his Bulgarian counterpart and was being kept abreast of the developments. Bulgarian leaders, including President Rosen Plevneliev were on their way to the site.

There are report unverified that there are celebrations in Gaza and PA controlled parts of Judea and Samaria.  I believe these reports for these barbarians know no civilized behavior, no common good.  They know only death and hatred.  Hatred taught by their pedophile Prophet Muhammad (May He Burn in Hell) and the members of Hamas and Fatah.

UPDATE:
President Obama is strongly condemning a "barbaric terrorist attack" against Israeli tourists in Bulgaria.

Obama says his thoughts and prayers are with the families of those killed and injured, and he calls the attacks against innocent civilians "completely outrageous." He says the U.S. will stand with its allies and work to "identify and bring to justice the perpetrators of this attack."

Obama says the U.S. reaffirms its "unshakeable commitment to Israel's security."

Israel has blamed Iran for the deadly blast in the Black Sea city of Burgas, Bulgaria, that killed at least six people and injured at least 32 others.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says she was "deeply saddened and angered" to learn of the attacks.

Source
How comforting to the victims that President Obama condemns the deaths of 7 Jews Israelis while shaking the hands of those who plan and encourage terror against Jews Israelis.  I wonder if he will condemn the next attack or applaud it.  After all they are only Israelis and Obama's greatest dream is the destruction of Israel. 

May G-d Avenge Their Deaths!!!!!

Free Speech Conference in Brussels

Hat tip Brussels Journal, Europe News DK, MRC-TV, Gates of Vienna and Vlad Tepes

In the below-linked article from Gates of Vienna, the writer, Baron Bodissey, describes his participation in a conference for civil liberties a week back in Brussels. The conference, which involved a visit to the European Parliament, had to do with freedom of speech in Europe. It gives a great insight into the state of free speech in Europe, the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights of 1990 by the Organization of the Islamic Conference-now the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, as well as another recent conference in Istanbul-attended by none other than Hillary Clinton, in which the OIC is seeking a UN mandate for criminalize any criticism of religion-specifically Islam. I urge the reader to pay close attention to what the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights says. It all has to be in conformance with Sharia.

http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.ca/2012/07/slouching-towards-brussels-redux.html

In addition, the video below from MRC-TV and Vlad Tepes features American writer Nidra Poller, who lives in Paris, speaking in Brussels on the topic of Islamic anti-Semitism and censorship.

http://vladtepesblog.com/?p=50434

I should add that the woman sitting on Ms Poller's right in the above video is Elisabeth Sabaditish-Wolff of Austria, who was recently prosecuted, convicted and fined in an Austrian court for her criticism of Islam.

Now read the text of a speech by Ingrid Carlqvist of Sweden as she describes what has happened to her country. (Hat tip Europe News DK)

http://europenews.dk/en/node/56566


Also keep in mind that the OIC is a 56-member-nation bloc-the largest voting bloc-within the UN. The international legislation they are seeking is already largely in effect in many European countries.

Add that to the self-imposed censorship of the American media, and what you have is what Ms Poller spoke of, a wealth of information known by those who take the trouble to do the research, but not known to the public at large because our leaders and the media will not educate the public truthfully for fear of being labled Islamophobic. As a result, we now tolerate another phobia-anti-Semitism- silently in the name of our own twisted sense of tolerance.

Let's Help Eric Allen Bell

Gary Fouse
fousesquawk
http://garyfouse.blogspot.com




Recently, I have had the opportunity to meet film maker Eric Allen Bell. As my readers may know, Eric is heavily involved in the Murfreesboro, Tennessee mosque project. When he initially traveled to Murfreesboro to make a documentary on the construction controversy, he was supportive of the local Muslim community's right to build a place of worship. Yet, the more he learned about the project, the people behind the mosque, and their questionable connections, Eric turned against the mosque project. He is now speaking out publicly about what he has learned-and at great personal cost as his letter below outlines.

For taking another view, Eric, who had described himself as a liberal, has been turned on by his "friends" in Hollywood. Not only that, he has endured threats against himself and his family. At this point, it is an act of courage for Eric to continue to speak out. Most recently, Eric appeared on Fox and Friends to discuss his experiences (which I have posted).


As I stated, I have met with Eric, and I am confident that he holds no animus toward Muslims as people. Yet, he has shown great moral and personal courage in speaking out because he feels so strongly about the jihadist Islamic movement to impose Islam on others. He has learned like the rest of us that there are many so-called Muslim leaders who are spreading a deceitful message to the public (stealth jihadists). 


At this point, Eric needs our help. I have sent what I can, and I hope when you read this letter, you will send what you can. Eric is a valuable asset in the anti-jihadist movement, and we need his work to continue. Here is Eric's letter.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"On July 4, 2010 I began production on a documentary called, “Not Welcome” believing I would expose the problem of “Islamophobia” in America.  Along the way I was hijacked by the truth about Islam.  Since that time I have committed myself to using media to expose the truth, about the most brutal political and legal system in the world – Islam.  And it has cost me everything.

I believe strongly that history will show that the threat coming from Islam is the defining issue of our time – and that us so-called “Islamophobes” will be remembered as the voices of reason.

Instead of continuing with a documentary that simply was not true, I gave my financial backers their funding back and I started writing articles about Islam.  So far, every single one of those articles has gone viral, worldwide.  And I am just getting started.  Some of this material has broken out of the Counter Jihad bubble and been seen in the Examiner, the Huffington Post, USA Today and Fox News.

I have gone on the radio over and over to educate the public about the threat the Muslim Brotherhood in America presents to us, as they try to “destroy the West from within”.

I have received so many threats that I can no longer remember them all – but in the beginning there were more than a few sleepless nights.  But in time, my fear turned into a fierce determination.

I have paid the high price of telling the truth about Islam, and continue to do so.  And I am not ashamed by what I am about to tell you and what I am about to ask of you.

I have lost most of my Liberal friends.

I have lost my reputation in Hollywood.

I have lost my livelihood.

Most of my family members no longer talk to me.

I had to sell my car in order to pay my rent - and it's that money is now gone.

I am late on every single bill.

But I have not allowed any of this to stop me.  In fact, I am in the process of writing a book about my awakening on this vital issue, with a call to action to all civilized people to stand up to Islam using the best weapon we have available to us – and that is information.

Although there are several publishers now interested in publishing my yet unfinished book, I have not accepted an advance – because with an advance comes editorial control which I am not willing to give up.
I refuse to tow the media party line and refer to acts of terrorism as “radical Islam”.  The truth is that if Mohammed were alive on 9/11, he would have sanctioned the attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center.  Mohammed would have sanctioned the over 19,000 acts of Islamic terrorism that have occurred since.  These terrorists are not “radical Muslims” they are just simply devout – following the “highest moral example” in Islam.

New mosque construction in the United States, funded primarily by foreign Islamic sources that are hostile to the United States, has doubled since we were attacked on 9/11.  This is in keeping iwth a tradition of 1,400 years of Islamic conquest.

So, I have created a website called Global Infidel TV (www.Globalinfidel.TV) to make information about the human rights abuses in Islam available, in primarily video format for the short attention span.  It is worth noting that I had created another website, for another cause, which has had 27 million visitors in the past 2 years.  I bring that experience, commitment and expertise to this project as well.

I have created a website called Mosque Confidential (www.MosqueConfidential.com) where I have received a treasure trove of leaked documents and emails which I am using to expose mosques which are involved in Stealth Jihad.  Certain members of the media have become sympathetic to our cause when they see what I have to show them and have expressed a commitment in helping with this cause in any way they can.

I am building bridges, strengthening alliances and never taken my eye off the prize - we just simply must end Sharia in America and dramatically reduce its power in the world overall.  I am committed to this cause, as I know you are as well.

I have met with elected officials and shared with them what I have learned and engaged them in the process of taking action, specifically against the mega mosque in Murfreesboro, TN.  Using our own laws, our media, and without violating any laws or anyone's civil rights, we will make an example out of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro.

Recently I appeared on “Fox and Friends” and told the truth about Mohammed.  Minutes after airing, I received a call from the producers saying that the viewer feedback was so immediately positive that they wanted to know if they could announce right then, live, that I would come back tomorrow.  I was invited back the next day for 2, longer segments, where I was able to expose to 2 million people, live on national television, the names of Muslim Brotherhood operatives at the Murfreesboro Mosque, based on my findings - and I was able to demonstrate that you do not have to be afraid to just simply tell the truth when it comes to Islam.

And now I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!

Contrary to what CAIR and their front organizations are publishing about me, I am not on anyone’s payroll.  In fact, in order to continue with this work, I need to be able to pay for my hotel room, occasional security, and other basic costs involved with staying the course on this path which I feel called to - and I'm out of money.

It is critical at this time that we send a loud and resounding message to the foreign Islamic infiltrators, such as the Muslim Brotherhood and Saudi Arabia, that this is not Sweden or Norway or the UK.  This is the United States of America and we will not stand by idly while outside forces attempt to impose Islamic law on our society, on our educational system, our media, our culture, our laws.  I am committed to playing a critical role in this process, but I need your help and I need it today.

Please, if you can afford to donate anything at all, now more than ever, I really need your help.
I have created a Donate button on both www.MosqueConfidential.com and on www.Globalinfidel.TV using PayPal.  You do not need to have a PayPal account, just a credit or debit card to do your part, to help support my work, in spreading this vital information to the sleeping masses.

These are my short term needs.  In closing, it is also worth mentioning that I need some major backing to execute a more long term plan, to shine the light on the attempted Islamization of the West.  I welcome any dialogue with anyone who feels called, to throw their hat in with me and become a partner in this important cause.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.   You can donate right now by clicking this link:

Declaration of Independence

By Findalis


Taken from Founding Documents
The United States Declaration of Independence is a statement adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, which announced that the thirteen American colonies then at war with Great Britain were now independent states, and thus no longer a part of the British Empire. Written primarily by Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration is a formal explanation of why Congress had voted on July 2 to declare independence from Great Britain, more than a year after the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. The birthday of the United States of America—Independence Day—is celebrated on July 4, the day the wording of the Declaration was approved by Congress.

After finalizing the text on July 4, Congress issued the Declaration of Independence in several forms. It was initially published as a printed broadside that was widely distributed and read to the public. The most famous version of the Declaration, a signed copy that is usually regarded as the Declaration of Independence, is on display at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Although the wording of the Declaration was approved on July 4, the date of its signing has been disputed. Most historians have concluded that it was signed nearly a month after its adoption, on August 2, 1776, and not on July 4 as is commonly believed.
That is the accepted history of The Declaration of Independence.   Here is the full text.



IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

It was with this document that the United States of America was born.  And it established the basis of our Republic, formed with Divine Authority by the Creator who gave each of us these rights:  Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit of Happiness.

Notice that we are not given Happiness, only the pursuit of it.  Thus it is not the government's duty or right to provide us with all of our needs.  We are not children in need of a nanny, and while it is good to get some help now and then, it is not good to depend on the government for our needs.

Computer Alert!!!!

By Findalis

I normally do not accept these alerts, but this one is real.

Big Hat Tip to Israel Matzav



According to Israel Matzav wife's boss, who is very up on these things (because she has to be), this one is for real.

If your computer is not using a rogue DNS service, you will be done with this less than a minute after you click the link. If you are using a rogue DNS service, it will take you much longer, but it beats the alternative of not being able to surf the internet after July 9.

I did this for my computer, it took only a few minutes and everything checked out.   Do it before July 9th.

What is Going on in Murfreesboro?

Hat tip Atlas Shrugs

Eab1

Atlas Shrugs is featuring an article by film maker Eric Allen Bell regarding his experience with the Murfreesboro, Tennessee mosque project. Bell, who considers himself a liberal, traveled to Murfreesboro to make a documentary about the controversy over a proposed 53,000 sq foot mosque. Initially supportive of the mosque due to his belief in freedom of religion, the more he learned, the more he turned against the project. Bell has now become an activist in exposing the forces behind the project. He has done so at considerable risk to himself and his family. Below, he describes the efforts of those involved with the mosque to influence the local schools.

http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2012/06/exclusive-.html

Not since the Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925 has the state of Tennessee seen such a religious controversy.

To me, this boils down to a few simple questions. If local Muslims want to build a mosque that is proportionate to the size of their community in a manner that is not disruptive to the community, they should enjoy that right. Approval should be handled as any other construction permit would be. In addition, people have a right to be concerned over the type of  Islam that is being preached, for example, Sufist vs Salafi/Wahabist. If there is an ideological connection with Hamas, that is an issue of valid concern. In addition, it appears the school board is not being truthful with the community as to its communications with mosque leaders regarding all the considerations that must be given to Muslim schoolchildren.

Eric Allen Bell has raised valid concerns, which the community has a right to be addressed.
