No News is Good News

Headline News: A woman in China has wrecked her car while trying to teach her dog to drive. This was news item #2 of the news headlines on FOX News TV this morning; 29 AUG 06.

I ask really? With ALL that is going on in the world, and our own country (US)... this is the #2 news item? Well, as they say in the movies: "Be afraid... be very afraid!"

bin Laden given permission to use Nukes

Michael Scheuer, who once headed the CIA's bin Laden unit, says bin Laden has been given permission by a young cleric in Saudi Arabia authorizing al Qaeda to "use nuclear weapons against the United States ... capping the casualties at 10 million."

"He's had an approval, a religious approval for 10 million deaths?" I asked him.

"Yes," Scheuer responded.

Why we are going to become a Muslim country

The Department of Homeland Security took a Muslim group with known past ties to terror organizations on a VIP tour of security operations at the nation's busiest airport at the same time British authorities were working to break up a plot to blow up U.S. airlines.

On June 21, a senior DHS official from Washington personally guided Muslim officials from the Council on American-Islamic Relations on a behind-the-scenes tour of Customs screening operations at O'Hare International Airport in response to CAIR complaints that Muslim travelers were being unfairly delayed as they entered the U.S. from abroad.

CAIR is a spin-off of the Islamic Association for Palestine, identified by two former FBI counterterrorism chiefs as a "front group" for the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. Several CAIR leaders have been convicted on terror-related charges.

We will lose the war on terror...

"When I read that police are arresting Islamic terrorists for plotting to blow up airliners full of innocent people, I know that the war on terror is nearly over. The vermin that began World War II were not arrested by police, read their Miranda rights, and then assigned an ACLU attorney and a court date in the nation's criminal justice system. They were held in prisoner of war camps and tried under what international law the Allies saw fit to grant for "crimes against the peace of the world."

Tennessee Roads Being Watched

Three cheers for Tennessee - they understand the situation!!

THP, DHS Conduct Anti-Terror Searches on Interstate

Knoxville (WVLT) - The Tennessee Highway Patrol says more trucks travel on Tennessee interstates than any other state in the southeast and only five more states in the nation. Troopers are working everyday to make sure your roadways are safe. Volunteer TV's Gary Loe finds out they're not just looking for tired drivers and faulty brakes anymore. Dirty bombs, nuclear weapons, those are real concerns for police right here on our interstates. And today authorities staged a surprise checkpoint to make sure no one is transporting anything like that through East Tennessee.

"We're looking for anything out of the ordinary," says Sgt. John Harmon, from the THP. From police dogs, to high-tech government sensors, to comprehensive searches...this wasn't your ordinary, everyday truck stop. Sure, police were checking drivers, their log books and their truck's brakes along I-40 near watt road, but if your big rig contained a hazardous materials placard, authorities were taking a closer look. Opening up every overseas container, hazardous materials load and box truck headed into Knoxville. Their goal, to deter terror attacks. "We're breaking the seal and physically looking into that container, straight truck, or rental truck, to see what it's hauling, to see if it has anything coming from overseas that doesn't show up on the shipping papers," says Sgt. Harmon.

Since 9/11 security in the air has gotten tighter, and so has security on the roadways, where millions more Americans travel each week and where the THP says only about 5 percent of overseas containers are being checked. "If the person out here traveling has evil intent, what better way to transport it than by tractor trailer or container," says Dwayne Collins from the Tennessee Department of Homeland Security. Folks from Oak Ridge National Labs were there as well, maintaining the sensors that search for radioactive materials, looking for anything out of the ordinary.

Police were also watching nearby exits making sure no truckers tried to skip the checkpoint. And if they did, they were in hot pursuit.

After about eight hours of searching, some good news, troopers say no threats to our security were found today. But THP can't see every trucker, they need your help to keep an eye on the roads too. Find out how you can do that in your community by logging onto http://state.tn.us/homelandsecurity/. And if you think you've seen something suspicious, there's also information there that can tell you how to report it. The more eyes the better and the safer our roadways will be.

Al Gore - Environmental Liar

Al Gore has spoken: The world must embrace a "carbon-neutral lifestyle." To do otherwise, he says, will result in a cataclysmic catastrophe. "Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb," warns the website for his film, An Inconvenient Truth. "We have just 10 years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tailspin."

Graciously, Gore tells consumers how to change their lives to curb their carbon-gobbling ways: Switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs, use a clothesline, drive a hybrid, use renewable energy, dramatically cut back on consumption. Better still, responsible global citizens can follow Gore's example, because, as he readily points out in his speeches, he lives a "carbon-neutral lifestyle." But if Al Gore is the world's role model for ecology, the planet is doomed.

For someone who says the sky is falling, he does very little. He says he recycles and drives a hybrid. And he claims he uses renewable energy credits to offset the pollution he produces when using a private jet to promote his film. (In reality, Paramount Classics, the film's distributor, pays this.)

Public records reveal that as Gore lectures Americans on excessive consumption, he and his wife Tipper live in two properties: a 10,000-square-foot, 20-room, eight-bathroom home in Nashville, and a 4,000-square-foot home in Arlington, Va. (He also has a third home in Carthage, Tenn.) For someone rallying the planet to pursue a path of extreme personal sacrifice, Gore requires little from himself.

Then there is the troubling matter of his energy use. In the Washington, D.C., area, utility companies offer wind energy as an alternative to traditional energy. In Nashville, similar programs exist. Utility customers must simply pay a few extra pennies per kilowatt hour, and they can continue living their carbon-neutral lifestyles knowing that they are supporting wind energy. Plenty of businesses and institutions have signed up. Even the Bush administration is using green energy for some federal office buildings, as are thousands of area residents.

But according to public records, there is no evidence that Gore has signed up to use green energy in either of his large residences. When contacted Wednesday, Gore's office confirmed as much but said the Gores were looking into making the switch at both homes. Talk about inconvenient truths.

WSJ: Scholar Warns Iran's Ahmadinejad May Have 'Cataclysmic Events' In Mind For August 22

WSJ: Scholar Warns Iran's Ahmadinejad May Have 'Cataclysmic Events' In Mind For August 22
Tue Aug 08 2006 10:22:35 ET

In a WALL STREET JOURNAL op-ed Tuesday, Princeton's Bernard Lewis writes: "There is a radical difference between the Islamic Republic of Iran and other governments with nuclear weapons. This difference is expressed in what can only be described as the apocalyptic worldview of Iran's present rulers."

"In Islam as in Judaism and Christianity, there are certain beliefs concerning the cosmic struggle at the end of time -- Gog and Magog, anti-Christ, Armageddon, and for Shiite Muslims, the long awaited return of the Hidden Imam, ending in the final victory of the forces of good over evil, however these may be defined."

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad "and his followers clearly believe that this time is now, and that the terminal struggle has already begun and is indeed well advanced. It may even have a date, indicated by several references by the Iranian president to giving his final answer to the US about nuclear development by Aug. 22," which this year corresponds "to the 27th day of the month of Rajab of the year 1427. This, by tradition, is the night when many Muslims commemorate the night flight of the prophet Muhammad on the winged horse Buraq, first to 'the farthest mosque,' usually identified with Jerusalem, and then to heaven and back (c.f., Koran XVII.1).

"This might well be deemed an appropriate date for the apocalyptic ending of Israel and if necessary of the world. It is far from certain that Mr. Ahmadinejad plans any such cataclysmic events precisely for Aug. 22. But it would be wise to bear the possibility in mind."

Iran's plot to mine uranium in Africa

IRAN is seeking to import large consignments of bomb-making uranium from the African mining area that produced the Hiroshima bomb, an investigation has revealed.

A United Nations report, dated July 18, said there was “no doubt” that a huge shipment of smuggled uranium 238, uncovered by customs officials in Tanzania, was transported from the Lubumbashi mines in the Congo.

Tanzanian customs officials told The Sunday Times it was destined for the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas, and was stopped on October 22 last year during a routine check.

The disclosure will heighten western fears about the extent of Iran’s presumed nuclear weapons programme and the strategic implications of Iran’s continuing support for Hezbollah during the war with Israel.

Reuters News Employee Issues Threat to US

Reuters employee issues 'Zionist pig' death threat to United States
So much for objectivity in news reporting...
A Reuters employee has been suspended after sending a death threat to an American blogger. The message, sent from a Reuters internet account, read: "I look forward to the day when you pigs get your throats cut."

It was sent to Charles Johnson, owner of the Little Green Footballs (LGF) weblog, a popular site which often backs Israel and highlights jihadist terrorist activities. In the threat, the Reuters staff member, who has not been named, left his email address as "zionistpig" at hotmail.com. Reporting the message to his readers, Johnson wrote on his website: "This particular death threat is a bit different from the run of the mill hate mail we get around here, because an IP lookup on the sender reveals that he/she/it was using an account at none other than Reuters News." Speaking to Ynetnews, Johnson said: "I was surprised to receive a threat from a Reuters IP, but only because it was so careless of this person to use a traceable work account to do it." He added: "I think it's more than fair to say that Reuters has a big problem."
