Hezbollah leaders "regret"

In an interview with Lebanese television last night, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said: “We did not think, even 1 per cent, that the capture would lead to a war at this time and of this magnitude. You ask me, if I had known on July 11 . . . that the operation would lead to such a war, would I do it? I say no, absolutely not.”

Sheikh Nasrullah has just realised his name is indelibly inscribed on the Israeli counter-terror shopping list.

I'm hoping he's not too fond of the great outdoors, cos' if he ever, ever steps outside of his rathole bunker, some Israeli pilot or Mossad sniper team is gonna be hanging around, just waiting to change his horoscope. *(not my wish btw, just the way they do business)*

I pointed out the short-range aspect of Sheikh Nasrullah's tactics back on July 14th.

See... "Operation Punch myself in the Face."

MOHAWK NATION NEWS- Aug. 23, 2006... Six Nations Mohawk people are being targeted for speaking out against Canada’s theft of and encroachment on our land.

The Ontario government and the cops are organizing the “brown shirts” (Heil Hitler!).

Say what!?!?!

Ontario’s evil plan is to send these gangs into our communities to beat us up, smash our cars, burn down our houses, kill us if necessary and generally create fear and chaos.

A warning has gone out to Indigenous Warriors to be on the watch for this threatened attack on Labor Day, September 3rd.

I'd have to file this one under Somebody's gone off their meds.

Kahentinetha Horn really needs to talk this one over with his/her doctor. I urge his/her friends & family to stage an immediate intervention.

The reality here is, if Dalton McGuinty rolled over any further to the left, he'd be sleeping with Hugo Chavez.

UPDATE: August 27, 2006 - Once again, John Tory steps up.

In a letter to Dalton McGuinty, he asks...

If indeed the First Nations people are on the land with the concurrence of your government, why are the barricades needed? Isn't it reasonable that you might make it a condition of that concurrence that those barricades come down prior to the kids returning to the nearby school, as I suggested to you in my earlier letter?

I respectfully suggest to you that your failure to insist on a minimum standard of behaviour over the past six months has led to disrespect for the law and a series of potentially negative precedents.

Pay me now, or pay me later.

Lemme see... Islamofascist state acquires a plutonium producing heavy water plant AND the next day, announces it has a concealable mobile launch capability.

A day after Ahmadinejad inaugurated a heavy-water plant that could be used to produce plutonium, Iran test-fired a sub-to-surface missile in the Persian Gulf.

Standing by and doing nothing here is like letting your labrador retriever drive the kids to school.

No possible happy endings on this one, folks.

Not sure if I can get my head around the rationale here.

“We have a nuclear power plant a few miles away and a ridiculous war in the Middle East,” said Ian Bigelow, 23, who had gathered with some of his friends outside a book store. “So why is it such a big problem if we get nude?”

Well, for one thing, it's probably gonna give somebody's granny a cardiac arrest. I wouldn't want that on my conscience.

The propaganda machine

The Canadian Tamil Congress thinks they are being unfairly treated in the media.

"In the strongest of terms possible, we categorically condemn this isolated incident," Kavitha Pathinathar, a spokeswoman with the CTC, said during a news conference in Toronto.

"They are not members of our organization. We have a diverse membership. It would be patently unfair if the allegations are in any way attributed to the Canadian Tamil Congress," she said.

Well, right off the hop, that's a bit of a lie.

David Poopalapillai, a national spokesman for the CTC, confirmed that Sahilal Sabaratnam, 27, one of the Canadians arrested Saturday in Long Island, N.Y., was the CTC's communications director for ''about a year'' in 2005.

So when exactly did Mr. Sabaratnam resign as Canadian Tamil Congress "Director of Communications"... to allegedly take up a new career as a freelance "Merchant of Death"? I'd also like to see the CTC flesh out that statement about the diversity of their membership, reflecting, no doubt... a broad strata of society.

To no ones surprise, when asked by reporters if the CTC would publicly repudiate the Tamil Tigers terrorist tactics, Mr. Poop stated...

"We are not spokespersons for the LTTE . . . we have no ties with the LTTE whatsoever."

I think everybody concerned would be better off sticking with the stripper story.

UPDATE: The Tigers recently cut off the water supply to 15,000 civilians.

The situation on the island caught media attention just recently when on July 26 a sluice water gate was closed to majority Sinhalese villages in Trincomalee and what followed was a "water war." Soon enough fighting resumed in the area, spreading into the predominantly Muslim community of Muttar and the Jaffna peninsula in the north.

The scoop from Mr. Poop (see 'moral equivalence').

"Just because 15,000 people are not getting water, and because they are Sinhalese, it is a big deal, but on the other hand, there are more than 50,000 Tamils from Jaffna who are living in refugee camps..."

Yup, no support for terrorism here.

Illegal to use race based statistics?

Unless your thesis is that the Metropolitan Toronto Police Force is actually a racist death squad.

A report commissioned by the African Canadian Legal Clinic that claims a black person is 37 times more likely to be shot and killed by police in Toronto was condemned by the head of the city's police union yesterday.

So what is the stated disparity here?

The report states that one black person per 38,700 was shot and killed by police in Toronto.

For whites, the number was one in 1.4 million people.

The Globe and Mail wants a piece of this.

Black people make up 27 per cent of provincial deaths from police use of force and 34 per cent of fatal police shootings, despite representing just 3.6 per cent of the population.

Let's examine the circumstances under which these people met their maker. Oops, no can do... that information is strangely absent.

Now, I'm no mathematician, but it's possible there may be another explanation here. You could go with the Police Death Squad theory, as per the African Canadian Legal Clinic, or maybe, just maybe... within the black community in Toronto, an individual is statistically 37 times more likely to present a weapon, or attempt to use deadly force on a police officer than his white counterpart.

Shsssssshhhh.

UPDATE: Let's check with Toronto Crimestoppers.

Holy crap... they're part of the racist conspiracy too!

Trust me, I'm from the government.

The mainstream media goes for the sensational.

“This actually turns my blood to ice,” Ms. Williams wrote last week. “I am calling my MP right now.”

Steve Janke cuts to the heart of it.

But remember what this is about. This isn't about putting women into the kitchen, or taking away their right to vote, or making it legal for men to abuse women. This is about whether women's interests are best served by placing a government department in charge of it.

Ok, I'm convinced.

A nuanced final solution

Keeping the peace, Liberal style.

Under the historic agreement, Hezbollah agreed to moderate its goal of destroying all Israel and instead will seek to wipe only half the nation off the map.

I can smell "Argh Billy Graham" all over this.

"Israel wanted safe and secure borders, while Hezbollah wished the total annihilation of the state. We believe that achieving this agreement illustrates the skill of Canadian negotiators."

What's not to love?

We all seen politicians, who, when you ask them a simple yes or no question, proceed to dance around the answer like Rudolph Nureyev on tainted crack.

A refreshing exception is the Anti-Dithers, Prime Minister Stephen Harper. He just comes right at you.

OTTAWA - Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Tuesday it's not unfair to liken Hezbollah to the Nazis, who once ruled Germany, because both stand for the destruction of the ''Jewish nation.''

That, my friend, is a straight answer.

Contrast that with former Liberal Deputy Prime Minister & Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Anne McLellan back when Stockwell Day asked her to declare the Tamil Tigers a terrorist organisation.

Mr. Speaker, as I have said, we take our responsibilities very seriously in relation to listing terrorist entities. We will continue to review entities. We make regular risk assessments in relation to a host of organizations. We take our obligation seriously. Listing is obviously a serious act; it carries serious consequences. We will continue to review these situations, and we will list as we deem appropriate.

Which really means, "If you think we're gonna risk pissing off the largest Tamil population in the world outside of Sri Lanka itself, which goes heavily Liberal each and every election, you sir, must be nuts."

The good news of course, as mentioned in a previous post, is that mere weeks after coming to office, the Conservatives pulled the plug on the Tigers on April 8, 2006.

Which brings us back full circle, to... "How can you not love Stephen Harper & the Conservatives?"

NEWSFLASH for Guys

For just today, forget politics, forget the Islamic bomb, forget the real world runs on a sea of grease.

If you don't love bulldozers, you'd better drop what you're doing and go straight to the nearest sex-change clinic... because you ARE officially a woman.

I just spent three exhilarating hours out back in our woods, watching a Cat 955 break a rough logging road through a half kilometre of previously impenetrable bush. At the end of the run, heading back to the house for beers, it felt like we'd won some sort of battle.

My wife thinks I may be mildly retarded. I say, "Vive la difference."

So what is about men and machinery?

From the time he was a few months old, my now ten year old son has loved planes, trains and machinery of any sort. His first word was not mummy or daddy... or even no.

It was car.

From a very early age... he made guns out of paper & scotch tape. Call me cocky, but I'm guessing he'll never be bringing home his very special friend Scott, or Thad, or whatever. Does that make me some kind of Neanderthal?

Well, tough shit. I still love bulldozers.

Three less Liberal voters

*******************
UPDATE: 5:33 AM EDT ON 23/08/06 False Alarm - Tamils were looking for strippers, not missiles. Well, that explains the $900,000.00 they had with them.
*******************

There have been numerous articles in the mainstream media about how the Liberal Party has been shamelessly courting Tamil organisations in Toronto, despite their knowledge of close ties to the Tamil Tigers.

In the Spring of 2000, the LTTE made significant gains on the battlefield in Sri Lanka. On May 6, 2000 the Canadian Finance Minister Paul Martin and Maria Minna, the Minister of International Cooperation, attended a fund-raiser for an LTTE front group. This was interpreted by the Tigers as an approval for the group by this country's leadership.

Now the chickens have come home to roost.

WASHINGTON — Eight men linked to the Tamil Tigers rebel group, including three Canadians, are facing charges they conspired to buy surface-to-air missiles from an undercover agent in the United States.

In truth, the Libs really didn't care. They certainly can't say they weren't warned.

The Liberals repeatedly refused recommendations from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service to designate the Tigers as a terrorist group under the Anti-terrorism Act. But weeks after coming to office, the Conservatives finally banned the group on April 8.

What do Liberals & New Democrats...

...have against Israel?

Liberal Borys Wrzesnewskyj said Israel has wrought "utter devastation'' on Lebanon in response to two Israeli soldiers being kidnapped by Hezbollah militants.

Well, it might not be that simple, Borys my friend. Even if the Liberal Party considers kidnapping a deductible offence (and in my book, it's not), how about firing rockets across the border at a sovereign nation?

Mark Steyn weighs in...

If, say, some fellows in Mexico had kidnapped California state troopers and were lobbing rockets randomly into residential areas of San Diego and Los Angeles, even La-La-Land libs would be demanding the US respond.

It's only the Israelis the world wishes to deny the conventional rights of sovereignty. In other words, it's the legitimacy of the state that's at issue. In effect, Israel has become the geopolitical version of the European Jew, who's allowed to operate a store in the town but not to exercise full ownership rights. In the old days, Jews faced property restrictions; now they face sovereignty restrictions.

It seems Borys is now backpedalling furiously about sucking up to Hezbollah. Peggy Nash so far just changes the words around in her statements... but hey, maybe she's just looking for a "third way."

Where are party leaders Bill Graham and Jack Layton, on throwing in with terrorists?

UPDATE: Mon. Aug. 21 2006 10:56 PM ET Bill Graham finally surfaces. Jack Layton is still in hiding.

Bill Graham, the Liberal Opposition leader, issued a statement late Monday saying "Hezbollah is a terrorist organization and should be treated as such under all applicable Canadian laws.'' "Any suggestion to the contrary does not reflect the official position of our party.''

LIBS, DIPPERS, officially insane.

The Lebanese-based militant group Hezbollah should be removed from Canada's list of banned terrorist organizations, two Canadian MPs say.

Liberal Boris Wrzesnewskyj and NDP'er Peggy Nash made the comments Sunday during a fact-finding mission to southern Lebanon

So where are Bill Graham & Jack Layton on this one?

MEANWHILE: Conservatives hold the line.

“I can't think of anything more damaging for the hope of peace than to encourage the very group, Hezbollah, that is intent on the genocide of the Jewish people and the annihilation of Israel,” Mr. Day said Monday.

No more whining...

I often wonder what my wife's grandfather (who spent a couple of years fighting in a muddy, rat infested hole in the ground in France) would think about all the public angst over having Canadian troops in combat in the Middle East.

I think the next person who starts whining about Canadian casualties in Afghanistan should get... (1.) slapped around 'til they stop spewing this hysterical shit and (2.) be forced to read, cover to cover, a history of WWI.

It has often been said that Canada’s sons left their home as young colonials but returned as Canadians. Vimy is indeed the birthplace of “Canadian Nationhood”.

The price was heavy: 10,500 casualties, including 3,598 dead.

That was one battle, by the way, not the whole war.

So how about it, you intellectually moribund, "no such thing as an evil person", terrorist hugging left-bots? Why don't you crawl off into your holes and give the rest of us a break?

Stephen Lewis fired?

Stephen Lewis let ‘er rip at Aids-a-palooza in Toronto and this is his reward.

The AIDS situation in Africa isn’t about junkies or self-indulgent, meth-amped party boys deciding to have sex without condoms (because they can take a retroviral cocktail and stave off imminent death).

It’s about hundreds of thousands of men, women and children caught in a death spiral of ignorance and leftwing lunacy. In actual fact, St. Nelson Mandela’s socialist paradise for black Africans is a miasma of suffering & death.

Kudos to Officiallyscrewed.com

'TRADITIONAL TREATMENTS' FOR HIV/AIDS...

Sure, traditional treatments... such as going to the local witch doctor. Canada's Stephen Lewis sums it up succinctly.

Up to 800 people a day die of Aids in South Africa, Mr Lewis said. South Africa's Aids policy is "more worthy of a lunatic fringe than of a concerned and compassionate state," he said.

That sounds unbelievable, how can 300,000 people a year die in just one country? The short answer is... because it's government policy.

Earlier another keynote speaker said South Africa's health minister should resign because she had minimised the role of anti-retroviral drugs.

Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang said this week she wanted to give citizens choices, including traditional treatments like garlic, lemons and beetroots, instead of championing anti-retroviral drugs.

That seems to be the official government position. President Thabo Mbeki has stated that he believes AIDS is part of a conspiracy to murder blacks.

In 1999, he refused to allow distribution of AZT (a drug that inhibits HIV) to pregnant women and other South Africans suffering from AIDS. Instead, he publicly embraced the scientifically dissident position that HIV doesn't cause AIDS. The drug itself, Mbeki claimed, actually causes AIDS, and shortens rather than extends patients' lives.

It seems obvious this country's biggest problem isn't just a lack of funds, it's lack of reason and education.

As if a public health crisis isn't enough, Nelson Mandela's post-apartheid dream state also has a homicide rate that would stupefy Heinrich Himmler. Incredibly, it actually declined to around 18,000 homicides between March 2004 and April 2005.

In the same period Canada had less than 600 murders. Something for all you warm fuzzy lefties to consider the next time you're criticising Canada or America.

UPDATE: Here's a typically South African solution.

South Africa's AIDS crisis is fueling a second epidemic as obesity steadily rises, particularly among women who gain pounds to prove they don't have the disease.

More traditional medicine folly.

JAKARTA (AP): A 4-year-old girl suspected of having bird flu left the hospital Monday after family members decided against the advice of doctors to treat her at home with traditional medicine, officials said Monday.

Caledonia Appeal struck down?

As a result of posting to Caledoniawakeupcall.com, I went on their mailing list & received a message today at 1:34 pm, stating...

Email sent to Mayor Marie Trainer was also sent to us and it states, "About 90 minutes ago, Judge Marshall, the Attorney General and a group of lawyers had a conference call. It was decided, based on secret meetings yesterday, that the Liberal Government does not have the option to appeal.

Would you like jobs with that?

Apparently not.

WE'LL JUST HAVE A POTLATCH:

Tofino, B.C. — A Vancouver Island native community has been forced to close its band office and lay off most of its staff because of a $60,000 dinner it hosted last month. “

We've had to shut down our office and lay off the staff to try to deal with the problems we are having financially,” Mr. Martin said Thursday.

Pull out the chequebook, I think this calls for more Aboriginal Healing. 

Of course that would be on top of the $138,765.00 they got in March 2006 from Health Canada. 

 Might as well check out the whole Health Canada grant system while you're at it. Well... they actually only bother to list anything over $25,000.00

Anything less is apparently chump change.

Disarming the fascists

Cops must put away the guns... because criminals have feelings too.

A left-leaning judge has shocked Toronto Police with an order that uniformed cops could not testify in his court if they wear their guns.

Ontario Court Justice Melvyn Green told a flabbergasted cop witness in a routine impaired driving case Tuesday to "check his gun somewhere."

Const. Chris Horton walked a gantlet of criminals as he stored his gun in a basement storage locker, the cop union says.

Of course, when push came to shove, Justice Green had an epiphany.

Green -- forewarned of possible police brass and union intervention -- tossed the gun issue in the laps of prosecutors and defence lawyers.

"It's their trial, not my trial ... if there is no objection, I am not going to raise the objection myself," the judge said. "It is a question of fairness and the appearance of fairness ... for the optics of the parties."

**********

UPDATE: Thank Dalton McGuinty for this nonsense.

Who is Melvyn Green?

Green was one of three lawyers who took the case of cop killer Clinton Gayle to the Ontario Court of Appeal in 2001. Gayle, who was 26 at the time of the Baylis murder, was found near Baylis' shooting with 14.5 grams of crack cocaine and an illegal, loaded semi-automatic handgun.
