The Progressive Reactionarism of the Postmodern Left

The absurdity of the postmodern left is that it is a chimera crossbred of contradictions mixing together technocracy and environmentalism. Hunting through the trash for discarded food and triumphantly blogging about it on a 500 dollar device. Big government projects and making your own shoes. Stand up to the man and tell him to appoint more bureaucrats. Read Dawkins and then blog about visiting a Middle Eastern mosque. Reject materialism in the latest carefully branded 200 dollar shoes made from recycled rubber tires.  

If the old left at least had something resembling rational project, the postmodern left has its broken vestiges, dressed up in directionless rage, superstition, anti-materialism and primitivism. The end result of this progressive reactionarism isn't just ugly, it's unsustainable.

....They're not so much socialists, as they are idiots who think that the economy is a function of their genius and all foreign policy problems can be settled with a beer summit and a heartfelt apology. It's not just that they're ruining America-- it's that they're frequently too stupid to even know they're doing it.  more via Sultan Knish

Soros: Euro Could Cause Collapse

the solution to Soros to all the centralization is more centralization.

~ now that is commitment

Destroying America will be the culmination of my life’s work. - George Soros
apparently Europe is in the cross-hairs too!

The Daily Beast reports:

In light of the economic crisis in Greece, billionaire investor George Soros has predicted that the EuroZone is in danger of losing a country and urged policymakers to develop a “Plan B.” Soros, who famously made $1 billion in 1992 when he bet against the British pound, declared in a panel discussion in Vienna that the euro has been flawed from the start, not backed by political union or a joint treasury. He encouraged leaders to take precautions now. “Let’s face it: we are on the verge of an economic collapse which starts, let’s say, in Greece but could easily spread,” Soros warned. He suggested the EU adopt new measures, including creating a larger central budget and increasing its bailout fund with money from tax revenue. via frumforum.com

Israel PM's son accused of anti-Islamic comments

I don't have a problem with what Yair wrote. I know Reuters would. I do wonder what kind of journalistic standard Reuters is using when they exploit the facebook interactions of Bibi's kid.

"Terror has a religion and it is Islam," the Haaretz newspaper said Yair Netanyahu, who is also a soldier in the Israeli army, wrote after a Jewish family was killed in March in the occupied West Bank.

notice they avoid talking about the little babies and all the stuff that makes the Anti-Zionists sqeamish. 

Two Palestinian men were later charged with killing the young couple and their three children.

babies... the word is babies. not just children

Haaretz said the posts were deleted after it inquired about them and were no longer visible on Yair Netanyahu's page.

wouldn't you delete your comments... Geez... wouldn't want the world to know what we think of Islam

David Shimron, a lawyer for the Netanyahu family, did not deny the report but called it a "ridiculous and cynical use of a teenager's comments."

Shimron also said the younger Netanyahu had "expressed himself in an informal virtual forum" and that he "respects all people and is ready to live in peace in Israel with people of all identities."

yeah... whatever... whatever,,,, whatever you have to say Bibi.  Your kid is honest.

Amongst other comments Netanyahu was said to have posted were that Palestinians "have no land, this is part of Israel, never in history was there a Palestinian state."

He also said that "not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims."

The Israeli prime minister has himself embraced social media and often uses a dedicated page in Facebook and on Youtube to get his political messages across.

statements comparing the Torah & Talmud to Mein Kampf...cannot be legally challenged because of Wilders

The problem is that the court's findings were still a matter of equivalence. Wilders was legally called out as being "hurtful". The court did not actually look at the substance of Islam. I am disturbed... and have always been disturbed by this possibility boomeranging.

The Freedom Party.... plays a very negative role in the current debate on a private bill introduced by the Party for the Animals to prohibit religious slaughter without stunning an animal first. Initially, Wilders’ party’s support for the bill was seen as part of its anti-Islam policies. In the interim, it has been found that the percentage of Dutch Muslims who are not willing to eat Halal meat from stunned animals is very small.

The Freedom Party has supported this prohibition enthusiastically, knowing full well that orthodox Jews will be its main victims. In the parliamentary debate, its spokesman Dion Graus has called religious slaughter “ritual torture.” He also stated that his party is not against Muslims, as the proposed prohibition also hurts Jews. Thus once again, Jews have become an instrument in Dutch politics. When analyzing what consequences the Amsterdam court decision may have for Jews and Israel, one needs to be informed about Dutch anti-Israeli propaganda, which has succeeded in convincing more than 38% of the Dutch population that Israel intends to commit genocide against the Palestinians. This information was found in a major poll undertaken by the University of Bielefeld in Germany. Anti-Israeli inciters regularly publish in most leading Dutch media. The religious slaughter debate has unleashed a sewer of anti-Semitic talkbacks in several mainstream Dutch papers. After the verdict in the Wilders case, many of these as well as statements comparing the Torah and Talmud to Mein Kampf, and claims that Judaism is a sick religion, cannot be legally challenged.

We need to get on Wilder's case. this needs to be clarified by the Freedom Party. Not just by Geert, but by his blogosphere. Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller need to address this.

Juppé: Israeli-PA Summit Initiative 'Not Dead'

French Foreign Minister, Alain Juppé, said Sunday that the French initiative to hold a summit in Paris between Israeli and Palestinian Authority leaders is “not dead.”

Juppé said that the PA leadership had agreed to hold the summit and that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s response on the issue was not negative. He added that a final decision on the summit will be made during a meeting of the Quartet in early July. via Israel National News and dead horse via PiloSEO.com

Elder of Ziyon: About Delta, Saudi Arabia and Jews

In 2004, the Saudi tourism website did say explicitly that Jews would not get visas. Embarrassed Saudis claimed it was a mistake and that they had no policy to discriminate against Jews.

However, In 1956, it was discovered that the US agreed upon Saudi request not to station any Jewish troops in an airfield in Dharan,  Saudi Arabia.
And in 1975, when the state of California was planning to send some 200 workers to Saudi Arabia, the plan was scuttled when the Saudis said that no "Zionists" would be allowed, and it was pretty clear after a week of talks that they meant Jews.
It seems to me that the anger at Delta Airlines is misplaced. The problem is with Saudi Arabia itself, as well as those that directly enable its policy of discrimination.
These include Lufthansa, Air France, British Airways, KLM, Air Canada and SwissAir, all of which directly fly into Saudi Arabia.
Where are the protests in Germany, Great Britain, Canada, Switzerland, Holland and France about having their airlines enforce Saudi Arabia's discrimination against Jews and Christians (and I imagine Hindus and Buddhists as well)?

via elderofziyon.blogspot.com

this standard of common airline arrangements is not enabling a discriminating power? If it were black folks would Delta feel differently? Sorry Elder... thanks for the history lesson, but screw Delta 

Michelle Obama eats French Fries and Fat Cakes before leaving Africa

Michelle Obama eats French Fries and Fat Cakes before leaving Africa. Don't they serve low fat food in South Africa? she is in Africa eating African food... but Americans have to eat a damn salad.

Michelle Obama should practice what she preaches. Behavioral eating modification will be on course when she arrives back in the US after her recent trip overseas.  French fries and fat cakes were consumed  at a local restaurant in Botswana, the First lady’s last day of travel in Africa.
Michelle Obama confessed to  a young group at the University of Capetown,”if I picked one favorite, favorite food, its French fries.”

• ...what we all knew without her saying it.

...but if we said it... it'd be racist. WHO DOESN'T LIKE FRIED FOOD?

Vetkoek means ‘fat cake, which refers to the method of frying, not baking the bread. It is a classic South African bread, served with savory or sweet fillings.

• 1 kg (2 1/4 pounds) white bread flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 packet instant yeast
• 1 litre lukewarm water (1 quart)
• Vegetable oil for deep frying
  

METHOD
In a large dish mix flour, sugar, salt and yeast together.
Slowly add lukewarm water and stir. Combine until dough pulls away from sides of bowl.
Cover with greased kitchen paper, put in warm draft-free place, and allow to double in size.
Heat enough vegetable oil for deep frying.
Fill another dish with cold water and place next to your vetkoek dough.
Wet your hands in cold water before breaking off a piece of dough, rolling it into the shape and size of a tennis ball and carefully lowering it into hot oil. You can easily do five or six vetkoek at a time.
Allow to turn golden brown on all sides by frequently turning. Remove from oil and drain on kitchen paper.
Whilst still hot, slit open and fill with a slice of baloney or, if preferred, a good quality jam or preserve. There is no need to butter these light nibbles.
This South African bread is a perfect lunchtime snack for the kids after school on a cold, winter’s day, thanks to Tannie Babs in Babanango, Kwazulu Natal, South Africa.
Yield: About 10 vetkoek

The Associated Press: Mike Schmidt: Time to end interleague experiment

Mike Schmidt: Time to end interleague experiment

via Associated Press ...hey look... the AP is biased about baseball too. If you are from Philly and have to play teams that have no historical significance... I guess you would be biased like the AP... but I'm from New York... and I like seeing the Mets play the Yankees and Redsox. Philly doesn't get that same excitement. Their historical rivalries are actually within their league (sometimes moved to another division and they play less of those games with inter league). I suppose if you are from Philly you would like to see the Phillies play the Cardinals or the Pirates more... and they are not in your division.  The big classic Philadelphia games are less with Interleague. Put in also the fact that the present system makes money. Mike actually sounds like a baseball insider who is tired of getting on airplanes.

all this talk about the Designated Hitter being a problem has me wondering what Schmidt thinks of Gay Marriage. The joke being that Gay people have to have a DH who doesn't field to make babies... oh never mind... of course it was not just a far off metaphor. Seriously though it is the heart of the issue.

Palestinian Unity Agreement a Hoax?

Hamas-Fatah reconciliation?

MEMRI's Y. Yehoshua asks the obvious question: was there an actual agreement? Or is it all just for show?

The fact that there does not exist one official version of the agreement bearing parties' signatures (as well as the conflicting reports in the Fatah and PA media as to which document was signed), suggest that there is a Palestinian and Egyptian effort to obfuscate the facts and conceal the exact wording of the agreement (assuming that any agreement was signed at all). This, in contrast to the document of understandings, which was definitely signed, and was published by various media outlets with the signatures of the Fatah and Hamas leaders.
An analysis and comparison of the documents suggests that the version presented by the Palestinian news agency WAFA as the agreement is not the correct version; its publication possibly constitutes a deliberate attempt to mislead and to conceal the text that was actually signed.[4]
It is far more likely that the agreement actually signed (if any), to which the document of understandings relates, is the document that was published in the Palestinian media on the eve of Fatah's signing of the reconciliation agreement in 2009, under the heading "National Accord Agreement," or else a document very similar to it. via propagandistmag.com

Reporters fuming over flotilla threat

As long as they are against Israel the extent of jurisdiction of any attribute of Democracy is infinite. ...The Government Press Office has threatened reporters who join the flotilla of fools with a ten-year ban from the country. The Foreign Press Association was not particularly pleased about that.

 Reuters:

Israel warned foreign journalists on Sunday they could be barred from the country for 10 years if they board a new flotilla that plans to challenge an Israeli naval blockade of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.
In a statement sent by email to Reuters and other international news organizations, Oren Helman, director of Israel's Government Press Office, said participation in the flotilla would be "an intentional violation" of Israeli law.
A year ago, nine Turkish activists, including one with dual U.S.-Turkish nationality, were killed by Israeli soldiers who raided a Gaza-bound aid convoy and were confronted by passengers wielding clubs and knives.
Pro-Palestinian activists have said ships carrying aid to the Gaza Strip could depart from European ports in the coming days.
Helman said that sailing in a new flotilla "is liable to lead to participants being denied entry into the State of Israel for ten years, to the impoundment of their equipment and to additional sanctions."

via americanthinker.com

The Foreign Press Association on Sunday urged the government to reverse its threat to punish journalists covering the Gaza flotilla, saying that the move "sends a chilling message to the international media and raises serious questions about Israel's commitment to freedom of the press."
The statement added, "Journalists covering a legitimate news event should be allowed to do their jobs without threats and intimidation," calling on the government to "reverse its decision immediately."

Freedom of the Press - like other freedoms - is not absolute. It does not include the right to become part of the story, nor does it include the right to allow oneself to be used as a human shield at no risk. via israelmatzav.blogspot.com

Delta Saudi flap leaves questions of openness to Jewish flyers

No Jews, no Bibles on flights to Saudi Arabia?

The Anti-Defamation League said that the Saudi policies are especially burdensome for Jewish travelers.
“Saudi Arabia’s past practice of banning travelers with an 'Israel' stamp in their passport from gaining entry into the country runs contrary to the spirit and intent of Delta’s non-discrimination policy,” the ADL said. “While this practice affects all travelers who previously visited Israel, it has a disproportionate impact on Jewish passengers.
"Moreover, Saudi Arabia also bars anyone from bringing into Saudi Arabia religious ritual objects, including religious texts, from any faith other than Islam, effectively banning religiously observant Jews from entering the country.”
The ADL wants all airlines that partner with those that fly to Saudi Arabia to make their practices clear.
In a statement the ADL said, “We expect Delta, and any other American airline which flies to Riyadh or partners with an airline that flies there, to ensure that its passengers -- whatever their faith -- not be discriminated against, and that no American airline in any way enable, or facilitate this discrimination, whatever the regulations of Saudi Arabia.”

Jordanian Replacement for Mavi Marmara

Wa'al Al-Ska, chairman of the "Lifeline" council in Jordan, announced on Sunday that the council has purchased a 200-passenger ship to take part in "Freedom Flotilla II", which is scheduled to sail in the next few days in an attempt to break the naval blockade on Gaza. The 560-Euro price tag is being paid by the Jordanian Board of Trustees.

Al-Ska explained that an Arab ship had to take part because the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara, the focus of last year's attempt to break the blockade, would not be ready for this year's flotilla. The Jordanian delegation will consist of 35 people, representing professional unions, political parties and Islamic movements from five countries.

the blockade is over. this is merely a threat to Jewish lives.

just like Alice Walker... women who say they don't hate Jews because they fucked one

I've heard this story from a lot of Jew hating feminists. They used to be married to a Jew... "so they can't hate Jews". Look at yourselves in the mirror ladies. you are a Cunt Nazi.

Walker's harsh view towards Israel may be influenced by her personal life. She frequently mentions her Jewish ex-husband, usually with negative connotations. In a rambling piece she wrote in 2009, she described giving a gift to a Palestinian woman:

I gave her a gift I had brought, and she thanked me. Looking into my eyes she said: May God Protect You From the Jews. When the young Palestinian interpreter told me what she’d said, I responded: It’s too late, I already married one. via blog.camera.org
