American Kidney Fund Disaster Relief Program
The American Kidney Fund (AKF) Disaster Relief Program provides emergency assistance in the form of block grants to local dialysis centers when disaster strikes a community. Dialysis centers then distribute the funds to help their patients pay for essentials such as food, shelter, medications and the cost of fuel or transportation to reach dialysis treatment. Dialysis center social workers may request a block grant to assist their patients by calling the American Kidney Fund Patient Services Department at 1-800-638-8299. The American Kidney Fund does not accept Disaster Relief grant applications directly from patients.

Ongoing Call for Volunteers
Following the Disaster Summit in January 2006, the Kidney Community Emergency Response Coalition (KCER) began compiling a list of individuals interested in assisting in the event of a future emergency or disaster. Registering as a volunteer does not necessarily mean that you will be called for every disaster that occurs. People will be called as needed. Please note that volunteers will be responsible for their own transportation to the disaster area. Click below to provide the requested information and take the first step to be a volunteer.

Final Report from the January 2006 Disaster Summit (July 1, 2006)
In January 2006 the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) hosted a Disaster Summit in Washington, DC, to talk about the Hurricane Katrina experience and lessons learned. The Kidney Community Emergency Response Coalition (which includes ANNA) was formed, and the Coalition immediately undertook the work of developing strategies for emergency preparedness and disaster response. The Kidney Community Emergency Response Coalition (KCER) created a Planning Group and eight Response Groups, each with a specific action agenda to collect resources. The Final Reports of the Response Groups and related documents are available below:

Assistance Available for Facilities
An Emergency Hotline is available for facilities to contact in the event of a disaster or emergency. The number is 888-335-4363 (888-33KIDNEY). If your facility requires assistance from volunteers, please contact your ESRD Network. If the Network is unable to assist, they will contact KCER.
Emergency System for Advance Registration of Volunteer Health Professionals (ESAR-VHP)
ESAR-VHP is a federal program created to support states and territories in establishing standardized volunteer registration programs for disasters and public health and medical emergencies. The program, administered on the state level, verifies health professionals' identification and credentials so that they can respond more quickly when disaster strikes. By registering through ESAR-VHP, volunteers' identities, licenses, credentials, accreditations, and hospital privileges are all verified in advance, saving valuable time in emergency situations.

*** Be sure to visit the Wisconsin Geocaching Association website! ***
These caches are meant to be hunted in order, so you will have to find the first one to recieve the coordinates to the second, and so on. Each container includes a log book and room for some goodies, so feel free to hunt as many as you wish and log each one as a seperate find. If you find anything in the containers that you want to swap out, please bear in mind that each consecutive cache will be less likely to be hunted by children and trade accordingly.
And PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE replace each cache EXACTLY as you found it!
> Difficulty:1 / Terrain:1 <
The first cache is along a nice hard packed trail that is suitable for strollers.
Stand on the main trail at these coordinates: N45*15.128 W87*06.383 and face south. Now tilt your head to the right, like a curious puppy, and look for the mark of Zorro. When you find it, stand under Zorro facing the direction he is pointing (west) and walk 100 feet. Search the area and find the cache, then look inside the lid for the coordinates of the next leg of your journey. Good Luck!
> Difficulty:2 / Terrain:2 <
If you decide to go on to the next cache you should be able to find a decent trail that leads most of the way to the waypoint.
> Difficulty:3 / Terrain:3 <
Once you have the coordinates for the third cache you will be heading into the bush. About halfway to the waypoint you will encounter an interesting obstacle that will be half the challenge to finding this cache. I don't recommend bringing small children along for this hunt.
> Difficulty:4 / Terrain:4 <
The last cache hunt is, of course, the most challenging of all. If you are in moderately good shape and reasonably agile, you should have no trouble getting to the cache, but please use common sense and don't attempt it if doing so appears beyond your abilities. Because of the thick summertime foliage at the cache, We took the reading for this last one out on the beach. Please stand at the coordinates and walk 20-30 feet straight inland to find the cache.
Note on the final cache: There are areas around the hiding spot that may put you in unnecessary danger. If you find yourself thinking that your life is in peril, you are probobly searching in the wrong spot.
Best of luck and Happy Hunting!

CSULB to Honor Veterans
From Issue: Volume XX - Number 22
By Rick Gloady
California State University, Long Beach will host a ceremony in honor of Veterans Day on Friday, Nov. 9, beginning at 11 a.m. at the Speakers Platform in front of the bookstore.
All veterans, their families and friends are invited to join the CSULB community as it recognizes the nation's military veterans, especially the more than 450 student veterans currently attending Cal State Long Beach. The event is being presented by CSULB's Office of Veterans Affairs Services.
Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to invite friends and neighbors who are veterans or bring a picture of a veteran who cannot attend the event.
Once the veteran's recognition event is concluded, there will be a birthday cake ceremony in honor of the 237th Marine Corps Birthday, which is officially on Nov. 10.
"We have many former Marines on campus, so we thought recognizing the corps' birthday would be appropriate," said Marshall Thomas, director of Veterans Affairs Services at CSULB. "As part of the ceremony, the traditional birthday message first delivered in 1921 by the 13th Commandant of the Marine Corps, General John A. Lejuene, will be read as will the birthday message from the current Commandant, General James F. Amos."
Those planning to attend should use the Beach Drive entrance to the campus from Bellflower Boulevard and stop at the Visitor Information Center (located on the right after the first stop sign) for directions to the Speakers Platform and information about parking.
For more information, contact Thomas in the Veteran Affairs Office at (562) 985-4279.

The Cost of Identifying with Christ #2
Thessalonica was a city in Macedonia; today it is known as Salonica. On his second missionary journey, Paul visited this city and founded a church as is described in Acts 17:1-10. He met with opposition from unbelieving Jews there and was driven away. The situation was such that he was unable to return to Thessalonica to check up on the new church there, so he sent Timothy instead.
Timothy brought back an excellent report which thrilled Paul and moved him to write the letter we know as I Thessalonians. In I Thessalonians 1:9 Paul joyfully recalled that the Thessalonians "turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God." They had been guilty of worshipping gods of wood and stone. Paul presented the Gospel to them and they responded to the message by "turning to God… from idols." This order (to / from) is no accident.
James 4:7 states, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." The emphasis in this very practical verse is also on the positive action. It is clear that resisting the devil is possible only after and, in fact, only because of submission to God.
In Exodus 33 we read of an interesting occurrence in the wilderness experience of the Israelites. "Operation Exodus" was over. The chosen people had marched two million strong out of the land of bondage In a time of crisis they had walked through the Red Sea. Now, as usual, they didn't know what was going to happen next, so Moses asked the Lord. God answered his questions, but not in the way Moses desired. Moses wanted a road map; he wanted to know God's will in advance. The Lord simply told him: "I'm going with you, Moses. That's all you need to know." Then thick-headed Moses finally began to understand and made this very important observation:
Exodus 33:16 "For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth."
What was it that "separated" the people from unbelievers? It was their identification with the Lord. It was not determined primarily by anything negative. They positively identified themselves with the true and living God and this positive separation to Him resulted in their negative separation from the world. Positive action, negative reaction.
So simple. Yet, so many fail to discover this life changing principle.

How to spend one day in San Fran!
If you find yourself in San Fran for one day as I did, please see a list of my favorite SF things, just able to be crammed into one day and one night! We spent most of our time in and around the Mission, which is the Mexican neighbourhood.
Coffee at Phil's Espresso, brewed "One Cup at A Time" as their banner proudly announces!
Vietnamese lunch special from Sunflower on 16th (have the tofu special – AMAYYYZING!)
A walk through The Mission...
... to admire the view from Bernal Hill ...
.. Walk back via the secret garden at Wild Side West Bar and quench your thirst – Bernal Hill is big! The garden, and the whole place actually, is adorably ramshackle.
Back to the Mission to Attic for Magarita Happy Hour – I think they were $3!
[Afterwards], Mexican Vegan Dinner at Gracias Madre (by the Café Gratitude people – who were a pioneer of the vegan and raw movement – and who run their business on the following principles: Love, Acceptance, Generosity, Worth, Gratitude, Creation, Responsibility. Check out their website because their philosophies are really akin to Kuwaii's. Gracias Madre is their newish place on Valencia St and it was just amazing.
DJ Purple at Jacks Bar (one Thursday a month) This is the most crazy Karaoke I've ever witnessed. Picture a large bar, everyone dancing like mad, hands in the air. DJ Purple somehow manages to make everyone sound perfect and also is an incredible sax player – performing the most awesome sax solos in everyone's songs. Quite the experience and if you can time your visit to SF for the Thursday that it's on, you won't be disappointed.
[On to] Lone Palm – another cute bar in the Mission ...
... And very very late night burritos at Il Farolito – best late night fodder one is likely to find, anywhere!
We stumbled upon Sol Lewitt sculptures in a park while heading to our favorite Vegan Dim Sum ("Vegetarian Dim Sum House") on Pell Street in Chinatown.
I've been mesmerised by Sol Lewitt since seeing his drawings at the DIA Beacon last year. These sculptures were so beautiful ...
... and we read about his methodology too ...
Yonah Schimmels Knishes has to be the most authentic place, est 1910! I love it! There's so much to see in the Lower East Side but this is a must-do.
Marlow and Sons is under the Williamsburg Bridge and here you can see some Kuwaii shoes dancing on Kellie (Architecture in Helskinki's) feet when we met up with the band for a drink! Kellie and I had an amazing Italian dinner at Bar Toto in Park Slope earlier.
Beach in New York? Well it is a "long island". We spent some quality time at the beach. Probably my favorite thing about the beach in New York is the sensationally delicious Rockaway Tacos from its beachside stands. Something Ramones-y about going to Rockaway Beach!
My birthday!
Brunch at Five Leaves, The Alexander McQueen Exhibition at the Met ...
... pretzels on the street then $5 dirty martinis during happy hour at Five Points.
Architecture in Helsinki played at Webster Hall on my birthday, it was such an amazing show; full of energy and so much love. The crowd was huge and loved it, and I got an amazing Happy Birthday shout out! Post the show, we had drinks at wine bar Von... which happened to have an amazing dance floor/party in the basement!
A stalwart: the Oyster Bar in Grand Central Station. Whisper to your pal in the "whispering hall" out the front – you stand in one corner, your friend in another, you can whisper into the corner, and through some trick of acoustics the whisper is heard by your friend loud and clear.
Also head into the bar to soak up the ambience, even though I don't eat meat, I always take a visit to the Oyster bar, it's semi faded glamour really sums up NY.
Panna 1 or Panna 2 indian restaurant in the Lower East Side is quite incredible for their interior concept – which is as many brightly lit fairly lights hanging from the ceiling as you could possibly hang. This picture is just a small snippet!
You actually have to duck under the lights. Tell them it's your birthday for a fun surprise.
Head out into deepish Brooklyn for one of the most memorable pizza experiences ever at Di Fara. Dom DeMarco makes each pizza himself, and has done ever since 1964! 1964!!!!!!! It's one of the last coal-oven pizzerias (they're actually illegal now so the only pizzeria's you'll find using coal ovens are ones with a very long history.
You will wait for hours here for your pizza, but it's worth the wait if not just for the experience. The pizza will blow your mind. I would recommend getting a whole pie because after you've waited an hour you'll have really built up an appetite! Waiting though is not such a chore as you'll be amazed to watch Mr DeMarco make each and every pie in front of you.
Make a trip to the New York Public Library and do the tour, our guide was incredibly entertaining, and very Upper East Side New York.
They had a really interested exhibition on about the history of the Library and of New York, it's all free too (including the tour) so highly recommended for on-a-shoe-string touring. Did you know (apart from that the NYPL was the setting for THAT scary scene in Ghostbusters) that it's built upon a massive underground lair housing all of its 1 million tomes?
The American Folk Art Museum is a MUST SEE. It's a small bite sized museum – such a rarity in a city where big is better – this is a manageable chunk of outsider and folk art from the 18th & 19th centuries. Many of the items are junk-art or from self-taught artists and I love that it shows this kind of art as an element in the cultural fabric of the USA and it's a very interesting museum. The Museum itself has had a history fraught with financial strain and it seems like it might be closing down, so hurry! We saw the Quilts – Masterwork exhibition…
... and the Eugene Von Bruenchenhein exhibition entitled "Freelance Artist – Poet and Sculptor – Innovator – Arrow maker and Plant man – Bone artefacts Constructor – Photographer and Architect – philosopher" completely blew my mind. He was a massively prolific artist, in all of those fields, however none of his even closest friends knew that he made art. His huge body of work spanning so many disciplines was discovered after his death. His paintings made me weep with their beauty.
Spend a day at Coney Island for sure! Go on the Cyclone ...
I still can't believe this all wood rollercoaster was built in 1929. It. Is. So. Scary. But very highly recommended! After, go to Totono's – another Ramones hang out and generally amazing pizzeria which burnt down and has only recently re-opened, as original as ever.
Don't come for the service, but do go for the white pie!
Wowee. As part of the I'll Show You My Craft If You Show Me Yours series, Tessa Blazey and Alexi Freeman have continued their collaboration, and produced another spectacular gown, for Craft Cubed and Gallery Three at Craft Victoria. Made from 600 metres of gold-plated chain, and 6,000 jump rings, the piece features a subtle reproduction of Alexi's 'Flapper' motif, and its edges have been burnt to achieve the gradual colour change at the fringes. Its slow rotation in the otherwise empty space is quite mesmerising - drop in before September 3 to see it.
Tessa and Alexi's first gown is now on display among the other finalists for the Love Lace award and exhibition at Sydney's Powerhouse Museum. Alexi tells us that the curation of the works is impressive, so if you're in the area before April 2012, it's no doubt well worth a look.

New English Review " />
Readers might remember that I reported in January about a legal attempt by Stephen Gash, of Stop Islamisation Of Europe (SOIE), and Sareeta Webra, founder of Sikhs Against Sharia (SAS) to block the building of a new and very prestigious mosque in Mill Road in Cambridge. The design and grandiose plans below suggest that the Mosque trustees wish to emulate the famous university colleges.
There were many local objections to this plan. Local residents, including lecturers at the university had already experienced intimidation when complaining about noise and parking at the Cambridge Muslim Academic Trust's existing mosque in Mawson Road.
Neighbours of Cambridge's main mosque claim they have been threatened by worshippers when they complain about noise and illegal parking . . . Dr Alexandra Winkels, who lives a few doors away from the mosque in Mawson Road, said the noise had forced her to move bedroom.
She said residents felt "threatened and intimidated by the large crowds that gather on Fridays and during Ramadan" and that when she had spoken directly to worshippers she had been met with "verbal abuse and derision". She said: "At one point someone threatened to smash my window in if I didn't back off. I really love living near the mosque, it's a reflection of the diversity of the Mill Road area…"
But it's all getting a bit much now isn't it, ducky???
I don't seem to have reported on the EDL demonstration against it last year, although I thought I had. That demonstration was countered by the UAF, and students of the university. under the umbrella of the Cambridge University Islamic Society and Marxist discussion group.
The Mosque is still to be built and there are other plans for the regeneration of Mill Road. One of which is for more student accomodation. From the Cambridge News.
Supporters of Cambridge's new mosque have said they don't want more than 300 student flats to be built next door.
In a statement, Cambridge Muslim Academic Trust said a "concentration" of undergraduate accommodation on the former Priory Motors site in Mill Road "would not represent the best amenity value and is unlikely to be the development option most beneficial to local residents or mosque users".
The trust said it was concerned by plans for the student development to front directly onto the street, preferring a continuation of the community garden planned for outside the mosque. Development next to the mosque should "strive to match and complement the massing, materials and design values of our own structure", the trust said. The statement said: "Our preference is for a mixed scheme of a lower density, to include residential family and young couple accommodation.
"We are confident that proximity to the prestigious new mosque structure will attract new home purchasers from all sections of the community..."
In other words, Muslim families, to form a Muslim district. While drafting this comments are already appearing on the Cambridge News website saying something similar.
Because, you see, the poor dears worked as translators for Australian troops in Afghanistan, and therefore, now that we are (at long last) leaving that sharia-crazed hell-pit, their ever lovin' mohammedan bros in the Ummah will fall upon them and their families (their spouses, children, sisters and cousins and aunts and uncles and grandparents, etc,) and murder them on the basis that by collaborating with the Dirty Unbelievers they have shown themselves to be Insufficiently Islamic.
The only problem is that it is highly unlikely that any of these people so generously offered a free ride to one of the most beautiful parts of Australia, with anxious folks fawningly hastening to cushion their landing among us - and meanwhile, will it even occur to anybody to consider the mere possibility of offering, say, 800 special visas for the genuinely-threatened-with-jihad-genocide Assyrian Christians of either Iraq or Syria, or the imperilled and persecuted Copts of Egypt?? - will abandon the ideology of Islam and embrace either Christianity or nonreligion. It is far more likely that they will cling to the very same Islam that motivates those who would kill them. Why, why, why can we not let in 800 to one thousand easy-to-assimilate Christians, rather than another 800 to a thousand smiling, lying mohammedans, some of whom most assuredly will (or their offspring, in the next generation) Go Jihad on us, spectacularly and mass-murderously, sooner or later, and probably sooner rather than later?
An infuriating report from the ABC's Giselle Wakatama.
"Displaced Afghan Translators Make NSW Hunter Valley Their Home".
And how many giant mosques will start popping up in the midst of one of Australia's oldest and richest wine-growing regions? - CM
"The Hunter Valley is again opening its arms to people displaced by war, with hundreds of Afghan translators being resettled in Newcastle.
That is: hundreds of Afghan Muslims. Displaced by a war that is basically driven by Islam, Islam, Islam. - CM
'The Australian Government, acknowledging the risks faced by Afghan translators helping Coalition troops in their fight against the Taliban in Afghanistan, has previously announced the provision of 800 special visas for translators and their families.
Just how many people are we talking about, here? Why, why, why import another thousand or so Muslims...from one of the most fanatically, crazily, violently Muslim parts of the whole of planet earth? - CM
'The ABC can reveal that as part of a wider resettlement program, about 280 of these visas are earmarked for Afghans (that is: Afghan Muslims - CM) due to resettle in Newcastle.
'It is understood around 200 have already arrived in the region, but housing them all is proving a challenge.
And are we also going to pay for the great big mosques that will, in due time, be demanded? - CM
'The ABC also understands there are fears for relatives left behind, with reports of attacks by the Taliban as payback for the help provided to Coalition troops.
How many "relatives" are we talking about? Whole villages full? Whole tribes full? We're not dealing with nuclear families, here. Think, dozens of cousins, who will all claim to be mortally endangered unless they can be got onto a plane to Australia. Prepare for the endless sob stories as thousands more Afghan Muslims prepare to engage in al-hijra, inveigling their way into the heart of dar al Harb (the zone of War), even as their brethren in Afghanistan screech with rage at the very idea of any non-Muslim being present on Afghan Muslim "turf". - CM
The Hunter region is no stranger to helping people displaced by war.
"Under Operation Safe Haven, Singleton Army Base housed 500 people displaced from Kosovo in 1999.
Yup. And they weren't the Catholic or Orthodox Christians who are being persecuted there, and their churches desecrated and destroyed, today. They were Albanian Muslims to a man (and woman). And if they behaved as did others of their ilk who were housed at another Army Base in Australia, then I'll bet they behaved abominably.
I found out all about the Albanian Muslims quartered at Puckapunyal in Victoria in the 1990s, in a most instructive thread at Jihadwatch, some years ago. Present in the forum was an Aussie soldier who had worked at that base at the time and had a grim story to tell, from first-hand experience, of the monstrous behaviour - and the monstrous sense of entitlement - displayed by those Albanian Muslims. Just click on the following link, scroll down, and read:
Excerpt: "After seeing the Kosovar Albanian refugees at Puckapunyal (Australian Army Base north of Melbourne) I find it really hard to believe that Albanian Muslims can be anything but "honourable". The behaviour these people displayed whilst here in Australia could be summed up as nothing more than disgraceful, and if the Australian Media reported on what happened at Pucka **as well as Singleton** (School of Infantry, northern NSW) then these people (Albanians) would of [have] been seen in a different light. - Shelldrake 1972, September 5 2009, 1.55 am.
And when he was asked to give more details, this is what he supplied.
"I was at the time posted to Puckapunyal as part of training staff SOA (School of Artillery).
"Before the lovely Kosovars arrived at Puckapunyal we (Australian Soldiers) had a visit from a really lovely lady, ermm, hmm, from (Dept of Immigration, Multicultural Affairs), she as you would guess was of Albanian descent.
"We were talked down on as if we were some kind of Neanderthals and barbarians..We were told we "must" respect these Albanians as they're proud and honorable Muslims. We must not speak to their women or look at them and accord them all the respect they deserve.
"It came as a shock when we found out that the Albanians had free use of the area pool of a nighttime. I think it was for 1 or 2 hours but the amount of mess they made in that time was despicable.
"These people could not (or would not ; my money is on "would not" - CM) go to the toilet so they took it upon themselves to defecate in the pool or anywhere for that matter, urinate everywhere they possibly could even on the heater in the sauna and funny thing of all they EXPECTED the staff there to clean up for them. That pool was emptied and cleaned many times only for it to happen again and again.
"Their billets were set out with all the latest mod cons, heating, television, computers, their own cooks brought in to cater for them all at Australian taxpayers' expense, yet these selfish dirty ingrates weren't happy with this. They had the nerve to complain about the accommodation and food and they wanted more.
"These people couldn't (or wouldn't - CM) even use toilets, they would poke their bums outside their door and crap over the side of the step, the toilet mind you was only 10 meters away.
"The lovely Australian Government also paid these people an allowance yet when these people were taken for shopping trips into Seymour they couldn't be bothered buying items they just stole them. It was later leaked out as well there that the Albanian (that is, Albanian Muslim - CM) men were prostituting their children for cigarettes and money. Certain acts were observed by outside sources, and there was a (hushed) case of attempted sexual assault of a female staff member. Few of us at the SOA actually heard that there were a few cases but [these] were hushed up very quickly.
"I personally came to see for myself the disgusting way that Albanian Muslim men act especially around our women; on a couple of occasions I observed female soldiers in our Gym being preyed upon by this filth...
"To top this off when it came time for these lovely people to be sent home, they smeared crap all through the billets, beds, walls, floors didn't miss out on this assault either...". - Shelldrake 1972, September 5, 2009, 5.35 am.
One wonders how much knowledge of the goings-on percolated out into the society surrounding Puckapunyal - and, probably, Singleton as well, because if the Albanian Muslims behaved in this manner in Puckapunyal it's odds on the ones billeted in Singleton did the same - and whether Hunter Valley locals have long memories, and are not best pleased about having some 200 or probably 300 or more Muslims (from a totally-Muslim country far more violent and backwards than mostly-Muslim Albania) dumped in their midst, today.
And so, back to our ABC report. - CM
'Refugee advocates have applauded moves to resettle the translators in Newcastle, but are concerned about a lack of housing.
I'm sorry, my dears. I would be more than happy to open my house to a family of desperately-imperilled Coptic or Assyrian Christian refugees, or a a whole nunnery's worth of Catholic nuns from Syria complete with habits and crosses, even if they had to sleep on the floor and eat in relays; but there is no way I would be at all interested in bringing mohammedans into my house, or my country. I'm afraid of things getting blown up. I'm afraid of having my or my children's - or grandchildren's, one day - throats slit in the night.
But cue a deluded dhimmi-in-training, who has obviously not been paying any attention to what Muslims - common or garden Muslims - have been doing of late to her fellow Christians in Syria, Egypt, the Central African Republic, Pakistan, or Northern Nigeria, and is all too eager to import hundreds of extra Muslims into Australia, to swell the more than half-million colonists of the Ummah who are here, and making trouble, already.
"Sister Di Santleben from the Josephite Refugee Support Network says Newcastle has a history of welcoming refugees.
"It's a huge honour", she said. "I mean these people have given up their lives for us, the Australians.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. I don't know why they did it, but knowing what Islam teaches, and that they are still card-carrying members of the Mohammedan Mob, I can't trust them. - CM
"They've interpreted for the Australian Army and other people in places that we know were deadly dangerous places to be.
Dangerous because of Islam, Islam, Islam, and the suspicion and aggression and zero-sum mentality it inculcates into all of its adherents. - CM
'But finding private rentals is going to be a challenge for this many families".
How many child brides - second and third and fourth "wives" - are going to be sneaked into Australia under black burkas, represented not as wives but as "sisters", "sisters in law", "daughters" and "cousins"?? - CM
'She says the translators are happy to be in Newcastle but fearful for the fate of relatives left behind.
Just how many of those "relatives" are there? Whole villages full? And are we going to be asked to let them all in?? Well, I'm fearful about what may happen to my fellow Infidels in Newcastle, and elsewhere, as in locality after locality, suburb after suburb, town after town, all over Australia, the ummah's numbers and perceived power grows, and grows, and grows, and grows. - CM
"I've asked them can they think of a day when we'll be able to publish their photographs and the folks said if you publish my photograph tomorrow, my brother will be dead", she said. "That's just the truth of it. They're not hiding but they've left behind brothers (how many brothers? all with wives [plural?] and children...all demanding to come to Australia, to live in safety, donchaknow... and can we be sure that none of those brothers or their children will not, one day, become suddenly, fervently Islamic, and go Jihad on us, to the tune of tens or dozens or scores or hundreds of dead Australian Infidels? - CM) and parents and fheir families, and while they're now safe, their familiess are by no means safe."
And the more Muslims come to Australia - more and more and more, foolishly welcomed in, offered "refuge", with welcome mats rolled out - the less safe Australia steadily and inexorably becomes, for every Australian who is not a Muslim.
Who is prepared to bet that some of these Muslim "translators', or their family members, will not - some time after arriving in Australia - engage in one or more of the following: sexual harassment of or assault upon Australian non-Muslim women or girls; "honor" murders of daughters, wives, sisters, cousins if said female kin show too much of an interest in an Aussie kuffar guy or start wanting to slough off the Slave Rag; forced and/ or child "marriages"; polygyny; welfare fraud on the grand scale; criminal activity (e.g. car theft, and drug manufacture, importation, pushing and dealing) of one kind or another such as the Lebanese Muslims are already heavily engaged in; and/ or, last but not least, mass murderous jihad plots? - CM
Despite the Sunday Times breaking this story last week The Times has a story today claiming that the letter is a fake, as evidenced by errors contained within it, as to the exact date a particular headmistress left a particular school, the reasons she left and the departure dates of another two head teachers.
Even if Russell Hobby, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, is right that "the idea that there was an organised plot .?. . seemed far-fetched", he is also right that these very serious allegations require investigation. Which is what they are getting, and all sorts of undesirable incidents are coming to light.
This is from today's Daily Mail
A state school allegedly infiltrated by Muslim fundamentalists had on its staff an extremist who was jailed for his involvement in a terror cell which planned to behead a British soldier, it emerged yesterday. Zahoor Iqbal, 36, was arrested while working for Saltley School, Birmingham, as an attendance officer and 'achievement mentor'.
Saltley is one of several schools allegedly targeted for takeover by Islamic fanatics.
A teaching assistant, who worked at Saltley School for ten years, also told yesterday that terrorism convict Iqbal was just one of several extremists at the school. She said a group of male teachers and governors who called themselves The Brotherhood sought to make Saltley 'an Islamic school'.
The woman, who worked there until 2012, said: 'Everyone was intimidated by The Brotherhood. They were the ones really running the school. They excluded moderate Muslims from their group and would talk in Urdu to each other and to the children. More non-Muslims left every year until there were hardly any left. The Brotherhood would criticise anyone who wasn't as strict as them.
'I heard one Muslim teacher call another "a Bounty" because they were supposedly brown on the outside and white on the inside. Even how staff dressed was moderated to fit their beliefs.'
The source said she suspected Iqbal and other teachers took older pupils on 'school trips' to radicalise them. She said: 'One teacher was suspended because he never kept records of where he was taking children. He would just take them away for weekends on his own.'
Iqbal was jailed for seven years in 2008 for supplying equipment for terrorist acts and supplying money or property for use in terrorism.
Saltley's head Mr Bains was ousted after opposing plans by governors to scrap sex education and allow only halal food. Friends said he faced 'bullying and intimidation'. The respected head, who is of Sikh origin, was also allegedly undermined when governors overturned his decision to expel a Muslim pupil found with a knife.
The author of the leaked letter even admits targeting Mr Bains, writing: 'At Saltley School we had a Sikh Head running a Muslim school. This was perfect as we have been able to play the religion and India/Pakistan card and stirred up a real fuss about a Pakistani boy who had been excluded whilst an English boy had not.'
The undated letter, which is believed to have been written sometime last year, continues: 'Balwant Bains will soon be sacked and we will move in. This is all about causing the maximum amount of organized (sic) chaos and we have fine tuned this as part of Trojan Horse.'
Birmingham Council is also taking the allegations seriously. I hope the West Midland's Police Service are doing the same.
A moment's reflection is all that should be necessary to convince anybody that our passions are not necessarily engaged by public controversies in proportion to the numerical or statistical importance of the question in hand. The debate over euthanasia and physician assisted suicide (PAS) is deeply impassioned everywhere; but not even the most enthusiastic advocate of euthanasia supposes – at least not yet supposes – that the question will ever affect other than a very tiny percentage of people.
The fact is that man is an animal that quarrels over symbols, and euthanasia is as much a matter of symbolic as of practical importance. How else are we to explain the fact, cited in an article in a recent edition of The Lancet about the new Belgian law extending the benefits of euthanasia to children, that there have been dozens of bills before the Belgian parliament desiring either to extend or to limit the scope of the current euthanasia legislation?
Reading the article and the articles to which it was linked, I came across two statements, one startling and the other importantly revealing. The starting fact was the following:
Recent studies have shown that the proportion of deaths that are the result of euthanasia or PAS in Oregon, USA as a whole, and The Netherlands, are 0.09%, 0.4%, and 3.4%, respectively.
Assuming this to be no misprint, why should the rate of physician assisted suicide be more than four times higher in the United States as a whole than in Oregon, which is one of only four states (with a total of only 5 percent of the US population between them) to permit it? Is it under-reported in Oregon? Is it carried out surreptitiously and illegally elsewhere? Are all the figures so inexact as to be virtually bogus? And if they are bogus, what does that tell us about the whole matter?
Another question is why there should be nearly forty times as many deaths by euthanasia and PAS as there are in Oregon. Is unbearable end-of-life suffering forty times more frequent in Amsterdam than in Portland? This is prima facie most unlikely. The pattern of disease in most western countries in very similar, and both in Oregon and the Netherlands cancer is by far the most common cause of requests for easeful death. Is there something sinister in the disparity?
The importantly revealing statement in the article about the extension to children in Belgium of the right to euthanasia was that suffering caused by psychiatric disorder was excluded as grounds for it (as it was excluded also for adults). This is very revealing because it is an implicit recognition of the truth of what is elsewhere often denied: namely that there is a fundamental difference between physical and psychiatric disease. The deeply corrupt and corrupting Anglo-American tort system pretends that the two are the same, to be dealt with and compensated equally; when in reality everybody – including even the most liberal legislator in Belgium – knows that there is a fundamental difference between them. Clearly if that difference were recognized by the courts there would be less work for lawyers.
It is obvious that if psychiatric disorder were recognized as grounds for euthanasia or PAS, the latter would become more or less death on demand. And if there is a right to death on demand, there must be a corresponding duty for someone to provide it. The slippery slope, the principal argument of those opposed to euthanasia and PAS, would become a very steep one, impossible not to slide down.
Nevertheless, many people persist in the lie that mental illness is no different from any other.

Israel Air Defense Chief Maj. Gen. Shachar Shohat Itanian Ababil Launch Ready UAV in Possesion
Source: Israel Hayom of Hezbollah
Today's Israel Hayom published a report on IAF Gen. Air Defense chief Maj. Gen. Shachar Shohat
citing the threat of terrorist drones, "IAF officer: Israel will face terrorist drones in next war". Shohat noted:
Israel fears terrorists in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip will deploy exploding drones in a future war, in addition to their main rocket arsenals, the chief of Israeli air defense said on Monday.
"We will have to cope with dozens of pilotless aerial vehicles on both the northern and southern fronts," Israeli Air Force Maj. Gen. Shachar Shohat said at a Tel Aviv security conference organized by the Institute for National Security Studies think tank,
Uzi Rabin, an Israeli aerospace expert, said Israel's Iron Dome and Patriot missile interceptors are capable of shooting down most drones. Israel is separately developing the Iron Beam, a laser system for vaporizing short-range mortar bombs and says it also will be able to destroy small drones.
Shohat said the terrorists' drones would range from radio-controlled model airplanes weighing a few kilograms to large drones with payloads of hundreds of kilograms.
Shohat told the conference that drones were now part of enemy guerrilla strategies.
Drones flew into Israeli airspace from Lebanon on at least two occasions in 2012 and 2013, apparently on photography missions and bids to probe air defenses. Israeli jets shot them down.
After the 2012 incident, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah acknowledged sending a drone that flew some 25 miles (40 kilometers) into Israel.
While Gen. Shohat's comments focused on the use of heavier drones capable of carrying conventional explosives, Dr. Jill Bellamy in a prescient June NER article focused on more plausible use as a possible bio-warfare threat,"Hezbollah's UAV Biological Weapon Capability: A Game Changer?"
Bellamy commented:
Syria's biological weapons programs run out of the Syrian Scientific Research (SSRC) in Damascus have not been the focus of much media attention. That despite these weapons are far more dangerous and more likely to be deployed. Perhaps less clear is Syria's close relationship and support of Hezbollah and Hezbollah's arsenal of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. The merging of Syria's biological weapon program with Hezbollah and/or Iran's UAV programs could create an international public health emergency more catastrophic than a natural outbreak.
Iran is believed to have supplied Hezbollah with 12 Ababil UAVs.3 The Ababil carries an 88 pound conventional payload, with a range of approximately 150 miles. Given the unique characteristics of UAV's it is conceivable that Hezbollah, under orders from Iran, and provided with advanced technology could deploy biological weapons utilizing this platform.
As regarding the credibility of the UAV drone threat, Bellamy commented:
Biological and nuclear weapons fall into the highest level of WMD threat, because their effect, for a given low weight, is far greater than for chemical and radiological weapons.6 As a consequence, they were given a priority, comparable to that given nuclear weapons.7 Hezbollah has acquired almost every type of conventional weapon Iran has ever produced and works closely with Syria. As Hezbollah is considered by some to run their own laboratories in Lebanon, it is likely that Syria has already transferred weaponized biological agents to these labs.
To put the threat Hezbollah's potential BW program poses and the possible use of their current UAV stockpile as a deployment platform into clearer focus, in 2005, France's Interior Minister Dominique de Villepin, at an Interpol bio-terrorism conference held in Lyon, emphasized that nowadays terrorists are highly likely to use weapons of mass destruction including biological weapons. Given Hezbollah's possible laboratories, they could easily maintain an advanced BW capability. Hezbollah's state sponsorship by both Syria and Iran vastly increase their ability to successfully deploy BW using UAV's.
Note the ominous threat posed by Hezbollah drone equipped with BW payloads:
Should Hezbollah decide to arm their arsenal of Ababil UAV's18 or other drones, with biological warfare agents and target Israel, perhaps using a swarm of UAV's, the likely and unfortunate casualties will be populations in nations who do not possess a bio-defense infrastructure. These are states that do not have the economic means to stockpile vaccines and medical counter-measures, who do not have the laboratory capacity or the health care capacity to conduct mass casualty care. With several BW agents such as smallpox, incubation periods can be lengthy. Some incubation periods would be over three weeks, transmission could occur several kilometers downwind given good meteorological conditions. This means a drone could lay down BW in an unpopulated area. The BW payload, should the drone be destroyed, could go undetected until populations become symptomatic. Lengthy incubation periods mean silent transmission which would come in waves. As A-symptomatic civilians travel to other regions of Israel and internationally. A war game, called Atlantic Storm, illustrates the existential risk to the global community from BW verses chemical or nuclear weapons.
Perhaps, IAF Gen. Shohat focused his public remarks on the terrorist UAV threat purposefully on aerial platforms equipped with conventional ordnance. That may deflect attention from probable covert developments by the IDF to combat Hezbolleh and other Iran proxies resorting to potentially more catastrophic BW and other non-conventional UAV payload threats to Israel and the World.
They make sense.
The Arab League is a comical and ineffectual organization, but non-Arabs do not know that. So when Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas) makes sure the Arab League passes a resolution supporting his refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, he can now go to Kerry and Obama, panting for an agreement, dangerous and unjust as that agreement will necessarily be for Israel, because they can't understand that the absence of such agreement is what keeps the peace, the only peace that counts, based on Israel's deterrent power, which power will be weakened by any further relinguishing of control over territory taken in the Six--Day War, but that military conquest is not the source of Israel's title, merely the source of its ability to enforce its title. There is a difference.
That whole business of "recognizing Israel as a Jewish state" is a way of saying -- this is the formulation the Israelis have come up -- "You've got to do something to show that this is a final agreement, you really truly mean it, no more slicing-the-salami strategy, no more of those Hudaibiyya hudnas to be broken as soon as possible." It might be preferable for them to discuss those very things -- that sausage-strategy, that Hudaibiyya hudna -- openly, even if it means saying things no non-Musliim is supposed to say. Come to think of it, Hudaibiyya ought to be mentioned, to the Americans, now and forever. It's time they were forced to learn a little something about Islam, and about the impossibility of ever ending the Jihad against Israel.
Toameh, on Abbas and the Arab League, here.
Spanish courts sentenced 18 people for the bombings that killed 191 people on commuter trains heading for Madrid's Atocha station on March 11, 2004. The Spanish anti-terrorist service's level of alert has since remained at "a likely risk of attack", junior security minister Francisco Martinez told AFP.
"That has not changed... but the number of jihadists has grown," he added. "Especially in certain areas, radicalisation has increased."
A study by the Royal Elcano Institute, a Spanish research body, said 84 Islamists, all young men, were convicted for attack plots in Spain between 1996 and 2012, or died in relation to such attacks. Those who died were the seven chief suspects of the Madrid bombings, who committed suicide weeks afterwards. The convicts also included those seized in a failed plot in Barcelona in 2008.
Most of these Islamists were first-generation immigrants from Algeria, Morocco or Pakistan.
Increasingly, such suspects are being radicalised on the fringes of the Islamic world, not in the closely-watched mosques, said Fernando Reinares, a security specialist at the institute. "They tend to gather in small, marginal places of worship and in private homes," he said. "This recent breed of extremists is marshalled not so much by Islamic clerics as by seasoned warriors, "charismatic individuals who have fought in Afghanistan, Bosnia or Chechnya".
In recent years, however, police have arrested several suspects that Spain's interior ministry has identified as a new breed of "lone wolf", self-radicalised online.
That was the profile attributed to Mohamed Merah, who killed seven people in southern France in 2012. Authorities said he had visited the Spanish region of Catalonia five years earlier.
Suspected Islamists arrested in the first few years after the Madrid attacks, up to 2009, "were more structured, in groups and in cells, but in the past few years a profile of isolated figures has emerged", said Martinez. Some of them "leave to wage jihad in conflict zones" such as Syria, he added.
Last June Spanish police said officers in Ceuta, a Spanish territory on the northern tip of Morocco, busted a gang that recruited and indoctrinated young men and sent them to fight in Syria.
The Elcano Institute in a report cited police intercepts of conversations between members of that network willing to "wage jihad at home", in Spain, if they returned from Syria. The institute's research indicates that between April 2012 and November 2013, some 20 Islamic extremists headed from Spain to fight in Syria's civil war.
"The risk is that individuals with European passports who have taken part in jihadist activities in Syria return to their country of origin with the intention of carrying out what they call acts of jihad," Reinares said.
A Muslim headmistress told last night how she was driven out of her job by extremists bent on taking over state schools. Her school is one of 12 apparently targeted by Islamic fundamentalists in a plot dating back two decades.
In a letter seen by the Mail, a fanatic brags about enlisting four radical parents to help oust her in 1993.
She said: 'I was the victim of a pernicious, well-orchestrated smear campaign I have never been able to recover from. 'People need to know this is a dangerous, well-organised and sinister group who have the capacity to destroy. They are producing fear in society and playing on paranoia. They are extremely powerful.'
The 69-year-old believes she was seen as an enemy because she was too moderate a Muslim. She was confronted with a number of allegations, including one of financial mismanagement.
Despite protesting her innocence her dismissal followed in 1994.
She added: 'I was involved in a campaign so nasty that, since I lost the headship, I've never been able to raise my head above the parapet. I was shocked to read this letter after 20 years and I am genuinely scared by it.'
When I was young enough still to consider myself rational, I was irritated by patients who tried any remedy in desperation to save themselves from their fatal disease. I have long since mellowed and when an acquaintance of mine with glioblastoma, a rapidly fatal brain tumor, decided recently to go to India to try Ayurvedic medicine, all I could do was wish him luck – sincerely so. After all, the scientific medicine — which he would continue to take while there — offered him little enough hope, a few months at most. (This case, incidentally, illustrates an important point: alternative medicine, so called, is not generally alternative, it is additional.)
Two trials of a very expensive monoclonal antibody, bevacizumab, in glioblastoma, published recently in the New England Journal of Medicine, make disappointing or even dismal reading. This antibody is directed at vascular endothelial growth factor that promotes the growth of new blood vessels; glioblastoma is a tumor particularly rich in new blood vessels, and so it was hoped that by preventing them from forming, tumor growth would either be prevented or at least slowed. Early results were promising but as has so often been the way in the history of medicine, early promise is not fulfillment of promise.
In one trial, for example, 637 patients with this terrible tumor were randomized to conventional treatment plus placebo and conventional treatment plus bevacizumab. Although the latter had a slightly longer period free of progression of the tumor, their overall length of survival was not increased, and indeed they suffered so many more side effects that the overall quality of their lives was worse. The patients taking bevacizumab survived on average 15.7 months; those taking placebo survived 16.1 months. The authors of the paper end:
In conclusion, we did not observe an overall survival advantage first-line use of bevacizumab in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Furthermore, higher rates of neurocognitive decline, increased symptom severity, and decline in health-related quality of life were found over time among patients who were treated with bevacizumab.
This makes rather odd the concluding words of an editorial that accompanies the trials in the Journal:
Finally, it is worth noting that despite its limitations, bevacizumab remains the single most important therapeutic agent for glioblastoma since temozolemide. Ongoing and future trials will better define how and when it should be used in this population of patients for whom so few treatment options currently exist.
Clearly the viewpoint of the oncological researcher is not that of the sufferer of the disease: he is looking far into the future, while the poor patient (all the poorer if he has to pay for his drugs) is thinking rather less far ahead.
Another paper in the same issue of the Journal reports something slightly more favorable to the drug, this time in cases of advanced and metastatic cancer of the uterine cervix. Here a trial showed that those treated with bevacizumab survived four months longer on average than those who were not so treated, and survived four months longer (that is to say, 17 rather than 13 months).
This raises the unpleasant question of whether treatment that costs so much to administer is good value. Value for whom? For the ill person herself, for her family, for society as a whole? Eventually, of course, the treatment, like flat-screened televisions, will become much cheaper; but in the meantime the question will be asked. The answer might depend on who is paying.
How much would I pay to survive an extra four months of life with an illness I knew to be fatal? I don't think this is a question that I can answer in the absence of it being a real choice. It depends on too many variables.
The contrast could hardly be greater. Israel has helped to alleviate the suffering of Syrians, while the rest of the world speaks about that suffering but does little to relieve it.
On February 18, 2014, Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, even visited wounded Syrians at an Israeli field hospital in the Golan Heights. On March 5, 2014, Chris Gunness, spokesman of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), spoke of the profound suffering of civilians in the Palestinian camp in Yarmouk in Damascus and of the widespread incidence of starvation, malnutrition, and absence of medical care in the camp – but little relief has come from Arabs.
Since 1948, Syria has been at war with Israel, having refused to sign an armistice agreement to end its attack. Nevertheless, Israel has been aiding individuals fleeing the civil war in Syria that has so far cost at least 130,000 lives and perhaps two million who have fled their homes. More than 700 wounded Syrians – men, women, and children – have entered Israel to be treated for war injuries in the Golan Heights military field hospital, including wounded fighters who had been turned back when trying to enter Jordan and therefore went to Israel. Individuals needing further treatment have been airlifted to hospitals farther south in Israel with specialist facilities. Besides this medical attention, other Israelis, including the actress Natalie Portman, have donated funds and clothing to Syrian women and children.
Not surprisingly, the biased groups and individuals in the media, academia, mainstream churches, and trade unions, who, out of professed concern for the Palestinians in the West Bank, advocate boycott of the State of Israel and its personnel, have totally ignored this extraordinary Israeli aid to suffering enemies, even if only nominally enemies. What is surprising is that these same people have also said or done so little to alleviate the plight of suffering Palestinians caused by the brutal and indifferent treatment by Syrians in the camp in Yarmouk. Once again, their behavior reveals their hypocrisy and shows that the true nature of their actions is to act against Israel rather than on behalf of the Palestinians.
Yarmouk is a district of about three quarters of a square mile, and about five miles from the center of Damascus. At one point it housed 180,000 Palestinian refugees, or more accurately the children, grandchildren, and increasingly the great-grandchildren of those who left their homes after the Arab armies attacked the newly created State of Israel. They have been prevented by Arab states from absorption into the general population.
The district, virtually a city in itself, became the scene of intense fighting, in which Palestinians took different sides. Some, including the group Liwa al-Asifa and some supporters of Hamas, supported the rebel groups, especially the Free Syria Army. Others, particularly the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC), led by Ahmed Jibril, supported the regime of President Bashar Assad. It was Jibril who in June 2011 orchestrated an attack on Israeli forces in the Golan Heights. In addition, Palestinians have fought against Jabhat al-Nusra, the al-Qaeda affiliated group that has been active in the camp.
The absence of humanitarian behavior was shown by the sordid reality that no food was allowed into the area until January 18, 2014. Then, some people, mainly ill or pregnant, were allowed to leave and enter the Assad-controlled area of Damascus. By then, more than 100 had died of hunger or hunger-related illnesses since the blockade of the area by Assad that had begun about a year ago, since no food or medical aid had been allowed into the area. Most of the Palestinians have now fled the area, to other parts of Damascus or to Lebanon, but about 18,000 are still trapped there.
There is no need to belabor the point that if Yarmouk were besieged by Israeli forces, the situation would be covered by the anti-Israel mass media and by the usual anti-Israel and anti-Semitic suspects, and the United Nations would have passed numerous resolutions condemning the Jewish State.
The silence about the Arab atrocities in Yarmouk is deafening, and appalling. Amnesty International has not issued an 87-page report condemning Syria for those atrocities, as it did in February 20124 when it censured Israeli actions such as checkpoints in the West Bank. Oxfam International has not had problems with any of its "ambassadors," as it had with Scarlett Johansson. The novelist Alice Walker, who stated that Israel is "an apartheid state," worse than the infamous South African regime or even the old American South, has not organized an international flotilla to break the blockade of Yarmouk. Roger Waters has not yet advised other musicians not to perform in Syria. The American Studies Association, after its resolution boycotting Israeli universities, has not yet found where Yarmouk is on the map.
As always, the U.N. remains "deeply concerned" about the desperate humanitarian situation in Yarmouk. Yet it was not until February 22, 2014 that the U.N. Security Council agreed unanimously on a resolution calling for the facilitation of food and aid deliveries to the district, and calling on both sides in the civil war to allow aid convoys to reach civilians. It is hardly a strong resolution, since it does not call for any sanctions to be imposed if the parties do otherwise. Nevertheless, UNRWA has said it has supplied about 6,000 food parcels to the stricken area, though those supplies have been intermittent due to the continuing fighting.
When will there be impartial and honest commentary by the eager boycotters of Israel on the starvation and humiliation of Palestinians by fellow Arabs? When will they report on the brutality of the civil war and on the fighters of Hezb'allah in Syria, so-called liberators though terrorists, for killing Palestinians? They appear hoodwinked by the lip service that Arab leaders pay to the Palestinian "cause" and seem fooled by the fact that those leaders may wear the kuffiyas, traditional Palestinian scarves. They also seem blind to how little tangible aid has been given to the Palestinians by the Arab states.
Those leaders and perhaps the Arab people as a whole may think of the symbolism of Yarmouk. This is the place of the historical battle in 636, when Muslim forces defeated the armies of the Eastern Roman Empire, thus ending Byzantine rule in Syria. It has long been celebrated as a great Arab victory, almost the start of the Islamic conquests after the death of the Prophet. It is not the site of an Arab victory today.
The myth may continue of Arab brotherhood and solidarity. The destitution in Yarmouk shows hollow this is. Meanwhile, Syrians seeking medical assistance continue to enter Israel and receive treatment. Only the uninformed, biased bigots of the BDS movement seem to be unaware of this.

This is from the Waltham Forest Guardian, Anejm's local paper. Originally from behind the paywall at the Sunday Times
Extremist Muslim preacher Anjem Choudary is being investigated by the Metropolitan Police after campaigning in a van inscribed with the logo of Syrian opposition group with close links to al-Qaeda.
Choudary, based in Walthamstow, and his followers took to the streets of Dalston last weekend in a white transit van adorned with the logo of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (al-Sham) (ISIS).
ISIS is a jihadist group established in the early years of the Iraq War which has pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda and is fighting with opposition forces in Syria.In a video Choudary can be seen sticking the leaflet on the van.
Chants in praise of ISIS can later be heard during calls for Shariah Law to be established in the UK. The video also shows the ISIS logo being pinned to the coat of a young child.Police have confirmed officers are investigating events in Dalston last weekend. No arrests have been made.
The Sunday Times explains the original incarnation of the group, Al-Muhajiroun, and some of the nefarious men who are linked within it, and ponders how quickly the Home Secretary can get it proscribed. They also provided a link which led me to the video.

And that kind of rhyme explains why there used to be Browning Societies all over the place.
Why, when it comes to Arabs who are in trouble, almost always of their own and always of Islam's making, does that word "plight" keep being used? Mary Jackson once complained at NER about that phrase "plight of the Palestinians" which is not a Homeric eptihet but fixed-wingèd words that never take flight, designed to evoke tear-jerk, and diseased, sympathy.
What about the "plight of the world's non-Muslims" who have to deal, world without end, with the hatred toward them that Islam inculcates in its adherents, and the craziness of the atmospherics and attitudes of Islam, that causes in so many Muslims who know or suspect there's something wrong with their world, but could not possibly allow themselves to recognize that the problem is Islam, to instead wallow in hysteria and in conspiracy-theorizing, blaming everyone and everything but Islam itself, the cause of their own wretchedness. And now thanks to criminally-negligent immigration policies in the West, millions of Muslims have become a source of expense, unpleasantness, and physical insecurity for non-Muslims in the countries least able, because most pacific and programmatically unable to be anything but long-suffering, to deal with the matter.

Premier Erdogan and President Obama, White House Rose Garden
May 2013 Source:APR
Last May, President Obama held a Rose Garden, news conference with Turkey's Premier, Tayyip Recep Erdogan. That was just before the Gezi Park Protests of last summer and well before the current explosion of controversy over Erdogan's alleged corruption kicked off by prosecution arrests following investigations in mid-December 2013. Since then there have been weekly reports regarding charges of construction bribery deals, illicit gold trading, violation of human rights of journalists and opponents, muzzling of the Judiciary and Public Prosecutors. Then there was revelation about taped calls with his son, Bilal, concerning hiding huge amounts of cash. Whereas in our last Iconoclast report he vigorously denied the authenticity of those calls, this past week, he said that taped calls recording him "meddling" with the judiciary were the real deal. He accuses the "deep state" of the Hizmat movement being behind it all. He has targeted the movement's reclusive ex-patriate Sufi Sheikh Fethulleh Gulen rusticating in eastern Pennsylvania's Poconos Mountains as the cause of his moral quandary.
This past week Erdogan unveiled his attack plan on his former ally by banning independent preparatory schools. That will just throw more oil on the fire as those Gulen academies in Turkey have supplied hundreds of millions to the Hizmat coffers. Erdogan says that if the AKP wins the municipal elect ions he will shut down both Facebook and Twitter in Turkey charging "immorality". Even the European Union is requesting an audit of their Erasmus Fund grants to Turkey for lifelong and long distance education given evidence of mishandling by the Turkish National Education Ministry. The Wall Street Journal in a report this week spotlighted the corruption turmoil producing a further weakening of the Turkish Lira combated by draconian interest rate increases forcing the country's decline in economic growth .
The result has been week after week of protests challenging his campaigning for upcoming municipal elections on March 30th. Erdogan has resorted to saying at campaign rallies that he will "quit" if the AKP loses major municipal elections. Not a chance says his AKP Islamist followers. That's strictly for show. What he has spoken of if he loses significant municipal elections in the largest cities, Istanbul and Ankara, is a deal in the Turkish parliament, where he has a super majority, so that he can continue beyond his 11 year leadership as Premier. Almost sounds like corrupt PA President Mahmoud Abbas now serving the 10th year of a four year term. That assumes failure of a proposed Constitutional referendum to convert Turkey's Presidency to an executive version like those of France or the US. Currently Turkey's Presidency, a largely ceremonial post, is held by his co-founder of the AKP, Abdullah Gul, himself a Gulenist. Even Gul has said he might switch offices and run for Premier. Sounds eerily equivalent to the revolving door of Russian President Putin and Premier Medvedev.
Erdogan and Gulen received a pushback this week courtesy of the Judiciary. A Supreme Appeals Court found grounds to reverse the conviction and release the former Turkish Army Chief, Gen. Ilker Basbug. Basbug said that all of the other 250 military officers convicted in a series of show trials from 2007 to 2012, called Ergenekon, should be released. Ergenekon was the alleged conspiracy group accused of conspiring to overthrow Erdogan's Islamist government. The irony is that Gulenist movement members of the police and Judiciary, involved in prosecution of the corruption charges against Erdogan and cabinet members helped to perfect those convictions in the Ergenekon trials.
My how the worm has turned given the possible alliance of the Hizmat movement with the secular opposition parties in Turkey's parliament seeking to thwart Erdogan's agenda. The irony is that the long term Sufi Islamist, Gulen, is pitted against, the short term, Sunni Islamist and fellow traveler of the Muslim Brotherhood movements in the Middle East.
Then there was the bizarre story about the banner unfurled at a Turkish soccer match with the inscription "There's a Thief," that incredulously had a whole police contingent scanning pictures taken by photo journalists of the football fans trying to identify the culprits. Then someone at a political rally with Erdogan unfurled a banner shortening the expression to simply "Thief"! resulting in his savage beating by the Premier's security detail. The victim was sent off to hospital for treatment and verification of his wounds. Paranoid, if not darkly humorous behavior. It is reflective of Erdogan's mental state under intense pressure to resort to any means to stay afloat politically by repressing the civil and human rights of a broad swath of Turkey's electorate.
Why President Obama has been slow to return calls to Erdogan? Scott Peterson of the Istanbul Bureau of the Christian Science Monitor filed a story on this question, "Why President Obama Stopped Calling Erdogan". Peterson noted:
President Obama once spoke regularly with Mr. Erdogan, and for years the White House held up Turkey as a role model of a successful Islam-rooted democracy.
But when Mr. Obama called Mr. Erdogan on Feb. 19, it was after six months of silence – a reflection of Washington's displeasure at how Mr. Erdogan and his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) handled antigovernment protests last spring and their resorting to anti-Western conspiracy theories, blaming everyone from business newspapers and bankers to Jews and Americans.
Peterson posed this question to Henri Barkey of Lehigh University, a Turkish affairs expert, while they were at the Sulaimaniyeh Forum of the American University in the Kurdish Region of Iraq. Barkey replied:
"It wasn't the brute force the police used [that caused the distance]… it was the discourse of the AKP and Erdogan and all the AKP-controlled newspapers about a conspiracy – a conspiracy to overthrow the Turkish government." "That came as a shock to the United States. "They quickly came to the realization that…at a very senior level [Turkish officials] actually believed what they were saying."
Barkey went on to say:
Obama was reluctant to make the February call to Erdogan, but he realized that he had to say something because too much had gone by." The official White House readout of the call said diplomatically that the President, among other issues, "noted the importance of sound policies rooted in the rule of law.
Erdogan is still going to remain as a central figure; he's not going away that soon. But he's no longer going to be seen as the transformative leader he had aimed to be. The United States no longer looks at him this way, but…sees him as creating uncertainty and potential instability.
Perhaps, Erdogan should respond by resorting to the tag line of the late 20th Century American comedian Rodney Dangerfield, " I ain't got no respect". But then maybe misery loves company, both Premier Erdogan and President Obama have daunting criticism over their domestic and foreign policies.
From the Mail on Sunday and the Sunday Telegraph
A school which was dubbed a 'Trojan horse' for jihad by Muslim extremists in a leaked document has been holding assemblies endorsing one of the most radical Muslim clerics in recent history. A Telegraph investigation, in parallel with the 'Trojan Horse' extremism allegations, suggests that all is not well at Park View academy in Birmingham.
According to former staff interviewed by this newspaper, a senior teacher at the academy repeatedly endorsed the terrorist ideologue Anwar al-Awlaki at school assemblies. . . The teacher, who remains in a high-level position at the school, also used its computer facilities and technical staff to copy Osama bin Laden DVDs, according to the former staff.
The teacher used the word "terrorist" as a personal mobile phone identity on Bluetooth and also described non-Muslims to pupils in assemblies as "kuffar", an insulting term for infidel, the former teachers said.
On November 28 last year, The Telegraph has learnt, Park View organised an "extended Islamic assembly" for its Year 10 and 11 pupils with Sheikh Shady al-Suleiman, an extremist preacher who has called on God to "destroy the enemies of Islam". Al-Suleiman has also asked God to "give victory to the Muslims in Afghanistan and Chechnya," to "give victory to all the Mujahideen all over the world" and to "prepare us for the jihad".
Another teacher at the sister primary school controlled by Park View, Razwan Faraz, has defended his brother, Ahmed, a man dubbed the "terrorists' favourite bookseller" whose Birmingham shop, now closed by police, distributed extremist literature to many involved in terror plots, including one of the 7/7 bombers.
In November, Park View was given a top award at the Global Peace and Unity conference, a London-based Islamic event boycotted by Conservative ministers because of its repeated hosting of Holocaust deniers, extremists and terrorist sympathisers. At previous GPU events, material glorifying terrorist groups was on open sale.
The chairman of governors at Park View, Tahir Alam, is a senior activist in the Muslim Council of Britain and vice-chair of the Association of Muslim Schools (AMS). His views, like the MCB's, are hardline. In evidence for the MCB to the UN's high commissioner for human rights in 2008, he said he would "caution against advocating that desegregation [in schools] should be actively pursued" and stressed the "obligatory nature" of the hijab for Muslim women and girls.
One head, (of anotherschool) who is understood to have resigned following a plot to oust him, said last night his decision to quit had been 'vindicated'. Balwant Bains, former headmaster of Saltley School, said he was unable to comment directly on the claims but confirmed he had been forced to leave his job.
I just picked up a book from the floor -- I'm trying to make room for living -- a paperback, "The Dehumanization of Art and Other Writings on Art and Culture"by Ortega. It opened to page 7, and my eye fell -- figuratively not balso-snellishly (my mother, alluding to that story by Nathanael West, commented: "if your eye falls on a bargain, pick it up")-- on the following:
"Behind all contemporary life lurks the provoking and profound injustice of the assumption that men are actually equal. Each move among men so obviously reveals the opposite that each move results in a painful clash."
I wonder how many courses are given in American colleges today that include in even one of their tens of thousands of syllabi even one essay by Ortega y Gasset, Wladimir Weidle, Richard Weaver. Five? Three? None?
