Raid on Jihad school in London

Police swoop on Britain's first Jihad training camp

"The school's prospectus says its aims are to 'provide a high standard of academic and Islamic education' and 'to develop real Islamic moral values'".

...

"Anti-terror police raided what is believed to be Britain's first home-grown jihad training camp in the grounds of a former English ballet school.

They rounded up a network of alleged terrorist recruiters after spying on them at the secluded country mansion.

It is understood the group, which included several recent converts to Islam, were being schooled in fundamentalist ideals associated with Al Qaeda."

War with Syria and Iran

Israel plans for war with Iran and Syria

THREATENED by a potentially nuclear-armed Tehran, Israel is preparing for a possible war with both Iran and Syria, according to Israeli political and military sources.

...The Israeli defence establishment believes that Iran’s pursuit of a nuclear programme means war is likely to become unavoidable.

...“In the past we prepared for a possible military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities,” said one insider, “but Iran’s growing confidence after the war in Lebanon means we have to prepare for a full-scale war, in which Syria will be an important player.”

While the EU is wavering, the Israelies seem to recognize that action needs to be taken before Iran becomes a nuclear power.

Britains war-debt finally to be repaid!!!

What's a little debt between friends?

The UK is about to pay off the last of its World War II loans from the US. But it hasn't always been so fastidious.

On 31 December, the UK will make a payment of about $83m (£45.5m) to the US and so discharge the last of its loans from World War II from its transatlantic ally.

Sweden and France refuse to meet with Hamas

"HELSINKI (AFP) - Swedish Prime Minister Goeran Persson has said two leading Hamas officials hoping to visit Sweden this month would not be allowed entry after France denied them a visa."

Hopefully Norway will do the same and show some moral resolve. But it is unlikely all the while so many voices including the government cry out for the economic support of Hamas and not cutting aid money.

Freedom vs. democracy

Peter Schwartz Freedom vs. unlimited majority rule

"We need to stop confusing democracy with freedom. Morally supporting
freedom is always in our interests. But supporting unlimited majority

France Threatens with Nuclear Retaliation

From Der Spiegel: France has nuclear retaliation option

"After months of unusual reticence, French President Jacques Chirac on Thursday returned to character. In a speech about France's nuclear policy, given on the atomic submarine base Ile-Longue off the coast of Brittany, he made clear that countries which support terrorism or desire weapons of mass destruction are at risk of a nuclear attack."

Confusing stuff...

Bi dad sues gay mums

The man had sex with one of the women and she had a daughter, now five years old.

But the man, referred to only as Mr B, then demanded the right to parental responsibility for the child on matters such as education and health.

He was refused and went to the High Court’s Family Division which has upheld his entitlement to be an official parent of the child, known as D.

Experts interviewed the youngster who told them she had two mothers — Mummy and Ma — identified as Ms A and Ms C.

In a bizarre twist, the girl’s mother — Ms A — got pregnant a second time, with sperm donated by a homosexual who lives with another gay, and she also has a daughter aged three, known as E.

Now, without reading this again draw a diagram showing how each person is connected...
Only kidding.

In summary: Bisexual dad B, got Lesbian A pregnant and has sued to have full parental rights to Child D (That is the main story). Lesbian A wants to marry Lesbian C. Lesbian A also has another child, E with another man (F and that man is a homosexual living with another man G).

The judge said: “Dr Sturge did not find D muddled about her family. She told Dr Sturge that she is lucky because she has two mummies. She knows that she grew in her mother’s tummy and she knows that Mr B is ‘Daddy’ and calls him that.

“She knows Mr B loves her, as everyone acknowledges he does."

See! It really is quite easy.

Helping Chinese Communists kill

China's tyranny has the best hi-tech help

"Chinese searching the Internet for key, or "black" words are likely to be arrested, tried and imprisoned for up to 10 years on charges of subversion, revealing state secrets or spreading propaganda injurious to the state. They meet a similar fate if they use "black" words in something they post on the Internet, especially for foreigners to read."

Helping the Chinese regime to survey their own population include the following...

"Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Cisco, Sun Microsystems and Skype. Each has its expertise. Google removes from its Chinese site whatever the Chinese deem politically sensitive. According to Reporters without Frontiers, "Cisco Systems has sold several thousand routers to enable the regime to build an online spying system and the firm's engineers have helped set it to spot 'subversive' key-words in messages."

Iran to hold Holocaust conference

Iran plans Holocaust conference

"TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Iran, whose president has denied the Holocaust, said Sunday it would hold a conference to examine the scientific evidence concerning Nazi Germany's extermination of 6 million Jews."

Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, is also famous for wanting to move Israel to Europe and may soon have nuclear weapons.

""It is a strange world. It is possible to discuss everything except the Holocaust," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told reporters."

Free speech speech alive and kicking in Iran! A place where the government thinks that it is good and  proper to kill rape victims! Oh! how emascualted and misunderstood you must feel Mr. Asefi that most of the world do not take holocaust-deniers seriously.

"The Foreign Ministry plans to hold a conference on the scientific aspect of the issue to discuss and review its repercussions."

I wonder what they mean, when they say repercussions? Is it the formation of the state of Israel, the only semi-free state in the area gruesome dictatorships, they are alluding to or what? Repercussions. That's a sinister sounding word.

And in terms of the "scientific aspects" refferred to I guess they will have the two "traditional" viewpoints represented 1) those who denied the Holocaust and 2) those who say that it happened, and that there is only one problem with it and that is that the Final Solution, wasn't all that final. And with 2 viewpoints that seems to be opposite represented you have the mock resemblance of some sort of "scientific" debate going on.

Biggest Eagles Ever?

Is it a bird? is it a plane? no it's superman ...oops...sorry...pardon me... it's an eagle devouring a reindeer

This headline makes it sound like real massacre:

2000 Reindeers killed by eagles

Reindeer owners received a total of NOK 26.4 million (USD 3.9 million) for 11,400 tame animals that they claim were lost to predators in the time period April 1, 2004-April 1, 2005, newspaper VG reports. Of these, 2,000 were reportedly lost to golden eagles.

I guess these eagles are the size of an F-16, fully loaded and twice as deadly...

So if your going to go hiking across the Finnmarksvidda -- don't forget to pack an UZI (in your travel kit). You never know when you might need it.

Be prepared! (Boyscout motto)
