Global Poverty Act is Back: Is Bill Gates the World’s Richest Useful Idiot?

January 5, 2012 – Tom DeWeese

He might be a whiz kid at creating computer software, but beyond that Bill Gates has proven time and again that he hasn’t a clue about why or how freedom works.

He constantly teams up with anti-free market types like the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) to produce “educational programs” in his software packages, misdirecting unsuspecting children with political propaganda. In 2002 he gave the NWF $600,000 worth of software to help these environmental radicals run their programs to block the drilling of American oil. Apparently Gates doesn’t understand that he needs oil to create power to run computers. Most recently his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation donated $3 million to eight universities to reinvent the flush toilet. Environmentalists call that device “one of the world’s most destructive habits.”

Clinton’s Africa Vision is Out of Focus, say Critics

Jim Kouri – October 3, 2011

Today (Monday, October 3, 2011) Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will meet with 40 women entrepreneurs from 36 African nations participating in the 2011 African Women’s Entrepreneurship Program, at the U.S. Department of State.

The African Women’s Entrepreneurship Program is a people-to-people exchange that connects women and enhances their ability to be key economic drivers in communities and countries worldwide.

While feminists such as Clinton will applaud such a program, many wonder when these same individuals will address the rampant violence and sexual assault against women and girls in many African nations.

A Call to Ban the Full-Face Veil in the U.S. and in Israel

Nancy Kobrin, PhD, Joan Lachkar, PhD – October 3, 2011

As psychoanalysts, we are addressing the psychological implications of wearing a full-face veil. It is well known from psychological research and infant and human developmental psychology that contact with the mother’s face is of crucial importance. The importance of eye contact with the mother’s gaze is substantiated by the research and writings of such famous researchers as Anna Freud, Melanie Klein, Margaret Mahler, Otto Kernberg, Mary Ainsworth, Beatrice Beebe, John Bowlby, Daniel Stern and others who have made major contributions to the study of attachment disorders. This is further confirmed by Ayaan Hirsi Ali that the full-face veil is terrifying to children. Babies and children are in constant need to be able to read the nonverbal, covert body language messages of their mother’s face. It goes without saying that the kind of message that the full-face veil communicates to the infant is that the mother’s gaze is cut off and therefore uninvolved or concerned with the infant’s well being. To the public too the mother has been erased, so to speak, from being part of civil society, an individual demanding and deserving recognition and respect. The full-face veil communicates hatred and terror of the female. This is not a good message to communicate to a baby.

U.S. Had Every ‘Right’ to Take Out Al-Awlaki

by  Robert Spencer – October 4, 2011

Anwar al-Awlaki, a desperately evil man who was linked to the 9/11 attacks (he was “spiritual adviser” to a couple of the hijackers) as well as to the Fort Hood jihad murder, the Christmas underwear jihad bombing attempt on an airplane over Detroit, and the Times Square jihad mass murder attempt, has gone to his fiery grave, and some in America are unhappy about it.

Tanzania study shows one in three girls sexually abused

9 August 2011

Nearly one third of Tanzanian girls experience sexual violence before they turn 18, a Unicef survey has found.

The figure among boys is 13.4%, says the UN children’s agency.

The most common form of abuse is sexual touching, followed by attempted intercourse, it says.

This Month in Muslim Persecution of Christians: July

by Raymond Ibrahim – August 12, 2011

Because the persecution of Christians in the Islamic world is endemic, on its way to reaching epidemic proportions, I begin with this article a new series called “This Month in Muslim Persecution of Christians,” wherein some—by no means all—of the foulest instances of persecution that surface each month will be collated and assessed.

The purpose of this series is two-fold:

1) Intrinsically, to document that which the MSM does not: Muslim persecution of Christians.

2) Instrumentally, to show that such persecution is not “random,” but systematic and interrelated—that it is ultimately rooted in Sharia.

Sydsudan – verdens yngste land

Sudan kan sætte gang i et afrikansk forår

Af Tore Hamming

Sudan overses, mens verden følger oprørene i Mellemøsten og Nordafrika. Men når Sydsudan om få måneder officielt bliver selvstændigt, kan det sætte gang i en lignende massebevægelse i resten af Afrika. En bevægelse, der en gang for alle kan gøre op med kolonitidens fingeraftryk.

Some Pragmatism

By Andrew C. McCarthy – October 13, 2010

Obama is turning back the clock on counterterrorism.

‘Obama’s administration has adopted what it calls a flexible approach” to terrorism cases, says the Reuters dispatch. The president, Reuters elaborates, “favor[s] military tribunals in some cases and civilian trials in others.” By contrast, we’re told, “most Republicans say all terrorism suspects should be tried in military tribunals.”

None of this is right — except that Obama officials claim their doctrinaire approach is flexible. Nevertheless, Reuters’s assessment surely reflects the public’s muddled understanding of where competing sides stand in the muddled terror-trial debate. That debate is stirring anew thanks to a Manhattan federal judge’s decision to suppress key evidence in the trial of Ahmed Ghailani, a terrorist accused of murdering 224 people in the 1998 embassy bombings.

Muslimsk terror 12. oktober 2000

October 12t – A Day of Infamy 
 
By Phyllis Chesler

Do you remember where you were ten years ago today? That was the day that al-Qaeda bombed the USS Cole in Yemen. Seventeen sailors died in the attack.
 
But also on the very same day—two Israeli reservists, Vadim Norzich z”l, and Josef Avrahami, z”l, were lynched in the most barbaric fashion when they lost their way in Ramallah, which was the late Yasir Arafat’s headquarters.

I will never forget that day. That was the precise moment—and it preceded 9/11 by eleven months—that I knew, really knew, that the bloody beast was back, that we had entered an era of unending bloodshed. Over and over again, the footage was shown of the murderers who tortured, mutilated, and disemboweled the two Israelis, smiling like madmen, proudly displaying their hands smeared with Jewish blood. And how the Palestinian crowds cheered for them.

Khat er også et problem i Sverige

Sådan er det jo gerne med indvandrere. Nissen flytter med. De problemer, en befolkning har i det land, de kommer fra, slæber de med sig til de lande, de vandrer ind i. Det er venstrefløjen ganske fornøjet med, for så kan de råbe racister efter deres landsmænd, som får skylden for de problemer, indvandrerne har. Det er aldrig indvandrernes egen skyld. Sådan er det.

Halvdelen af alle somaliere i Danmark er narkomaner og sådan er det også i Norge. Problemet hedder khat. Svenskerne kan også være med, fremgår det af svensk TV4s hjemmeside i dag. Sidste år beslaglagde svenskerne 6 ton af det farlige stof. Det er kun en brøkdel af de 300 kilo, som skønnes at finde vej til Sverige hver dag.

I Sverige tar man inte problemet på allvar. Detta eftersom det är en viss etnisitet som använder den, säger Abdukadir Ali som arbetar inom socialtjänsten.

Det er jo et mønster, vi kan genkende. Hvis det er muslimer, der begår kriminalitet, bliver der set gennem fingre med det. Danmark tager heller ikke khat-problemet alvorligt. Stoffet er ellers livsfarligt. En somalier i Sverige siger om det dræbende stof:

Det här är en farlig drog. Jag har varit i Öst Afrika nyligen och träffat vänner som lyckligtvis slutat med att tugga kat på grund av att många har dött av kat-relaterade sjukdomar.

Et af de store problemer er, at humanitærpopulister romantiserer stoffet efter samme recept, som man eksempelvis kender det fra triviallitteraturens tårepersere. Dickens ville have været henrykt, hvis man havde haft khat på hans tid. Humanitærpopulisterne siger nemlig, at mennesker bruger stoffet for at dulme sult og fattigdom eller at det er en konsekvens af krig. Sandheden er omvendt. Narko skaber fattigdom. Stoffet har heller alverden at gøre med vor tids krige, eftersom det har været brugt i århundreder.

Stoffet er særdeles udbredt i Afrika. For eksempel: 

Somalia, Kenya, Yemen, Etiopien, Malawi, Uganda, Tanzania, Congo, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Sydafrika og de fleste arabiske lande.

Viste du, at en stor del af Afrikas fattigdom skyldes, at især mændene sidder på cafeer, under træerne og andre steder som narkomane zombier? Det er derfor, at det er kvinderne, der passer landbruget i mange fattige lande. Mændene er for stofpåvirkede til, at de kan arbejde. Mænd forsøger at forbyde kvinder at tygge khat, men de gør det i noget omfang alligevel. Stoffet giver bla. mentale fosterskader.

Khat er kendt under flere forskellige engelske navne, bla: Qat, Kat, Chat, Kus-es-Salahin, Mirra, Tohai, Tschat, Catha, Quat, Abyssinian Tea, African Tea, og African Salad.

Tak til Snaphanen for tippet.
