Unseen Benefit?

Israel has begun it's raids into Lebanon, striking Hezbollah and collecting weapons caches. As I was pondering this, a few words coming from the drone of the TV in the background suddenly came into sharp focus.

Bekaa Valley.

Where Saddam's legendary WMD's were buried.

Israel would be conducting raids there.

And looking for weapons.

The coincidence here is ridiculous. But furthermore, check out this link.
It contains this juicy nugget of information:

The Syrians received word from Saddam Hussein in late 2002 that the Iraqi WMD would be arriving and Syrian army engineering units began digging huge trenches in the Bekaa Valley.


Now, granted, it is possible the WMD's have been moved already. And it is possible that they are hidden so well a cursory inspection by IDF soldiers might overlook them. But you have to admit this; there is the tiniest, teensiest possibility the Israelis will find the Weapons of Mass Destruction we've been looking for all along.

Don't forget where you heard it first.

Sovereign Right

Lebanon has pledged to fight alongside Hezbollah if Israel begins raids into Lebanon. This kind of thinking is patently ludicrous and logically unacceptable. Whoever made this statement is betraying the people of Lebanon. Alan Colmes on H&C formulated this tortured question:

Colmes : "Lebanon has promised to fight Israel if they invade in the South. Do they have a sovereign right to defend themselves?"

There is a fundamental flaw in Alan's reasoning here. Namely, the two statements have nothing to do with each other. The whole world would like nothing more than to see Lebanon exercise it's sovereign right to defend themselves, if only they would. But Lebanon must realize one simple fact; there is an occupying force already in Lebanon. There is an alien entity stationed in the country that harbors malevolent intentions towards Lebanon, and Lebanon must evict this organization. What is this group's name? Why, Hezbollah, of course, Iran's bunch of thugs running Lebanon through force, being funded by Iran to the tune of about 200,000,000 $ a year, most of it Oil Money from the West. Pretty nice, huh?

These are the facts. Lebanon does have a sovereign right to defend themselves. The problem is, Lebanon is corrupt and weak. Those that would like to see Lebanon remain under Iran's control far outnumber those who wish to see a free, independent state. Lebanon is still under Iran's thumb, and until Israel roots out and kills all those terrorist belonging to Hezbollah, it will remain as such. Do some research next time, Alan.

Operation Final Stages

So Israel is beginning the final stages of their military operation today. They have begun the "land incursion". Liberal media fanatics aren't doing their job if they can't reference this stage of the operation with some kind of malevolent overtone, using words like "foothold, incursion, occupation," etc...

It's actually rather amusing to see how clueless the major media outlets are without an agenda. They truly have no clue how to present pure, unvarnished news. With no liberal spin, they're like lost sheep, wandering around, bleating helplessly away for the New York Times to give them their perspective.

But as Charles Krauthammer wrote several days ago in his latest column, a land campaign was crucial to ridding the Southern Lebanon area of the Hezbollah terrorists. The air strikes have dampened the rocket attacks somewhat, but much of the Hezbollah strongholds consist of underground bunkers, weapon caches, stashes...etc. These can only be eliminated by a consistent, man-to-man fighting method of carefully decimating the enemy through hand-to-hand combat. Israel will clearly excel in this area. They are the superior force, militarily, and Hezbollah is simply a disorganized collection of rabble with no real military skills aside from the occasional snatching of an IDF soldier or the occasional killing of an Israeli civilian, usually via any one of the Kaytusha's they fire at Israel, indiscriminately and with no real military goal in mind.

So, overall, it is good that Israel is doing this. We have to kill all the terrorists eventually, anyways, and this military operation is just one of the many steps we will have to take to accomplish this goal.

eaten from within...

A member of Knesset, Israel's political party, has admitted he advised Palestinian terrorists to capture IDF soldiers:







According to a report in Maariv newspaper on Sunday, Taha told surfers on Thursday that he repeatedly advised the PA Arabs to stop shooting and targeting civilians, and to concentrate on IDF targets. An English translation of Maariv's Hebrew translation of Taha's Arabic words:
"We told them more than once that the Palestinians, who are subjected to murder and ongoing crimes on the part of the Israeli army, have two options: One is to explode and kill civilians - and these are much easier operations. The second option is the military option, in the framework of which a military unit from the resistance [i.e., terrorist infrastructures - ed.] is established in order to break into a military camp, clash with the soldiers and battle them and take them and the conquest into captivity."




Pretty unbelievable, right? It gets better:




Taha also had words of advice for the PA on the publicity front, saying that the kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit should not be called "kidnapped" but rather "imprisoned" or "captive." Taha said, "Kidnapping is an act carried out by gangs, terrorists, and the like. But 'captive' means that [it is carried out by] an organized, legitimate group that makes decisions. Israel is trying to present our resistance as something less - as terrorism, murder, and kidnapping - in order that the diplomatic circle will be closed to it."




So a member of Knesset is publicly advocating the kidnap and murder of his own country's soldiers. But not only that, he is also giving P.R advice on how to frame the public dialogue.


If you read the comments on the article, you will find most people are outraged this man holds any office at all. Most of them echo MK Zevulun Orlev's opinion that this man is "traitorous" and should be stripped of his position, if not imprisoned and convicted of aiding and abetting the enemy.


What is Israel thinking?

catching up...

A lot has been happening recently. It's been difficult to keep up, although I definitely need to stay more up to date on this blog. What with Japan introducing a TOUGH resolution, China relishing the United States' plight regarding N.Korea, and the recent bombings in India, the plate has been quite full.

(Sidenote : Somebody mentioned this earlier, and it is interesting. Somebody in the planning department at Al Qaeda is into the occult or numerology; note the dates of attacks:

3/11 : Spain attack
7/11 : India attack
9/11 : U.S. attack

But we're getting off track. Back to topic.)

Robert Novak has agreed to appear in a tell-all on the Fox News Channel. He will appear on both Special Report w/Brit Hume and Hannity and Colmes to discuss his role in the Plame affair. Needless to say, the media is already trying to portray it in a different light.

A spokesman for Rove's legal team, Mark Corallo, said that Rove did not even know Plame's name at the time he spoke with Novak, that the columnist called Rove, not the other way around, and that Rove simply said he had heard the same information that Novak passed along to him regarding Plame.

Get this : Rove simply CONFIRMED information Novak already knew. In other words, he didn't tell Novak anything he didn't already know. And libs are saying Rove "leaked" Plame's name?
This blows their argument to shreds.

The sad thing is, the media will grind this story into the dust no matter what the facts are. Just don't let anybody get away with that "Rove leaked Plame's name". Call them on it. Right away.

Chinese wish to conquer and invade North America

Take a look at this:

Chi Haotian's Speech:
.
Comrades, I'm very excited today, because the large-scale online survey sina.com that was done for us showed that our next generation is quite promising and our Party's cause will be carried on. In answering the question, "Will you shoot at women, children and prisoners of war," more than 80 per cent of the respondents answered in the affirmative, exceeding by far our expectations.

Today I'd like to focus on why we asked sina.com to conduct this online survey among our people. My speech today is a sequel to my speech last time, during which I started with a discussion of the issue of the three islands [Taiwan, Diaoyu Islands and the Spratley Islands], mentioned that 20 years of the idyllic theme of 'peace and development' had come to an end, and concluded that modernization under the sabre is the only option for China's next phase. I also mentioned we have a vital stake overseas.

The central issue of this survey appears to be whether one should shoot at women, children and prisoners of war, but its real significance goes far beyond that. Ostensibly, our intention is mainly to figure out what the Chinese people's attitude towards war is: If these future soldiers do not hesitate to kill even non-combatants, they'll naturally be doubly ready and ruthless in killing combatants. Therefore, the responses to the survey questions may reflect the general attitude people have towards war. ... . We wanted to know: If China's global development will necessitate massive deaths in enemy countries, will our people endorse that scenario? Will they be for or against it? ...

The fact is, our 'development' refers to the great revitalization of the Chinese nation, which, of course, is not limited to the land we have now but also includes the whole world. ... As everybody knows, according to the views propagated by the Western scholars, humanity as a whole originated from one single mother in Africa. Therefore, no race can claim racial superiority. However, according to the research conducted by most Chinese scholars, the Chinese are different from other races on earth. We did not originate in Africa. Instead, we originated independently in the land of China. ... Therefore, we can assert that we are the product of cultural roots of more than a million years, civilization and progress of more than ten thousand years, an ancient nation of five thousand years, and a single Chinese entity of two thousand years. This is the Chinese nation that calls itself, 'descendants of Yan and Huang.' ...

During our long history, our people have disseminated throughout the
Americas and the regions along the Pacific Rim, and they became Indians in the Americas and the East Asian ethnic groups in the South Pacific. We all know that on account of our national superiority, during the thriving and prosperous Tang Dynasty our civilization was at the peak of the world. We were the centre of the world civilization, and no other civilization in the world was comparable to ours. Later on, because of our complacency, narrow-mindedness, and the self-enclosure of our own country, we were surpassed by Western civilization, and the centre of the world shifted to the West.

In reviewing history, one may ask: Will the centre of the world
civilization shift back to China? ... Actually, Comrade Liu Huaqing made similar points in early 1980s. Based on an historical analysis, he pointed out that the centre of world civilization is shifting. It shifted from the East to Western Europe and later to the United States; now it is shifting back to the East. Therefore, if we refer to the 19th Century as the British Century, and the 20th century as the American Century, then the 21st Century will be the Chinese Century. ...

Our Chinese people are wiser than the Germans because, fundamentally, our race is superior to theirs. As a result, we have a longer history, more people, and larger land area. On this basis, our ancestors left us with the two most essential heritages, which are atheism and great unity. It was Confucius, the founder of our Chinese culture, who gave us these heritages. These two heritages determined that we have a stronger ability to survive than the West. That is why the Chinese race has been able to prosper for so long. We are destined 'not to be buried by either heaven or earth' no matter how severe the natural, man-made, and national disasters. This is our advantage.
Take response to war as an example. The reason that the United States
remains today is that it has never seen war on its mainland. Once its
enemies aim at the mainland, the enemies would have already reached
Washington before its congress finishes debating and authorizes the
president to declare war. But for us, we don't waste time on these trivial things. ...

Maybe you have now come to understand why we recently decided to further promulgate atheism. If we let theology from the West into China and empty us from the inside, if we let all Chinese people listen to God and follow God, who will obediently listen to us and follow us? If the common people don't believe Comrade Hu Jintao is a qualified leader, question his authority, and want to monitor him, if the religious followers in our society question why we are leading God in churches, can our Party continue to rule China?

The first issue is living space. This is the biggest focus of the
revitalization of the Chinese race. In my last speech, I said that the
fight over basic living resources (including land and ocean) is the source of the vast majority of wars in history. This may change in the information age, but not fundamentally. Our per capita resources are much less than those of Germany's back then. In addition, economic development in the last twenty-plus years had a negative impact, and climates are rapidly changing for the worse. Our resources are in very short supply. The environment is severely polluted, especially that of soil, water, and air. Not only our ability to sustain and develop our race, but even its survival is gravely threatened, to a degree much greater than faced Germany back then.

Anybody who has been to Western countries knows that their living space is much better than ours. They have forests alongside the highways, while we hardly have any trees by our streets. Their sky is often blue with white clouds, while our sky is covered with a layer of dark haze. Their tap water is clean enough for drinking, while even our ground water is so polluted that it can't be drunk without filtering. They have few people in the streets, and two or three people can occupy a small residential building; in contrast, our streets are always crawling with people, and several people have to share one room.
Many years ago, there was a book titled Yellow Catastrophes. It said that, due to our following the American style of consumption, our limited resources would no longer support the population and society would collapse, once our population reaches 1.3 billion. Now our population has already exceeded this limit, and we are now relying on imports to sustain our nation. It's not that we haven't paid attention to this issue. The Ministry of Land Resources is specialized in this issue.

But the term 'living space' (lebensraum) is too closely related to Nazi Germany. The reason we don't want to discuss this too openly is to avoid the West's association of us with Nazi Germany, which could in turn reinforce the view that China is a threat. Therefore, in our emphasis on He Xin's new theory, 'Human rights are just living rights,' we only talk about 'living,' but not 'space,' so as to avoid using the term 'living space.' From the perspective of history, the reason that China is faced with the issue of living space is because Western countries have developed ahead of Eastern countries. Western countries established colonies all around the world, therefore giving themselves an advantage on the issue of living space. To solve this problem, we must lead the Chinese people outside of China, so that they could develop outside of China. ....

Would the United States allow us to go out to gain new living space? First, if the United States is firm in blocking us, it is hard for us to do
anything significant to Taiwan and some other countries! Second, even if we could snatch some land from Taiwan, Vietnam, India, or even Japan, how much more living space can we get? Very trivial! Only countries like the United States, Canada and Australia have the vast land to serve our need for mass colonization.

Therefore, solving the 'issue of America' is the key to solving all other issues. First, this makes it possible for us to have many people migrate there and even establish another China under the same leadership of the CCP. America was originally discovered by the ancestors of the yellow race, but Columbus gave credit to the White race. We the descendant of the Chinese nation are entitled to the possession of the land! .... It is historical destiny that China and United States will come into unavoidable confrontation on a narrow path and fight ... In the long run, the relationship of China and the United States is one of a life-and-death struggle. ... Of course, right
now it is not the time to openly break up with them yet. Our reform and opening to the outside world still rely on their capital and technology. We still need America. Therefore, we must do everything we can to promote our relationship with America, learn from America in all aspects and use America as an example to reconstruct our country. ...

Only by using special means to 'clean up' America will we be able to lead the Chinese people there. ... Only by using non-destructive weapons that can kill many people will we be able to reserve America for ourselves. There has been rapid development of modern biological
technology, and new bio weapons have been invented one after another. Of course we have not been idle; in the past years we have seized the opportunity to master weapons of this kind. We are capable of achieving our purpose of ' cleaning up' America all of a sudden. When Comrade Xiaoping was still with us, the Party Central Committee had the perspicacity to make the right decision not to develop aircraft carrier groups and focus instead on developing lethal weapons that can eliminate mass populations of the enemy country. ...

Biological weapons are unprecedented in their ruthlessness, but if the
Americans do not die then the Chinese have to die. If the Chinese people are strapped to the present land, a total societal collapse is bound to take place. According to the computation of the author of Yellow Peril, more than half of the Chinese will die, and that figure would be more than 800 million people! Just after the liberation, our yellow land supported nearly 500 million people, while today the official figure of th population is more than 1.3 billion. This yellow land has reached the limit of its capacity. One day, who knows how soon it will come, the great collapse will occur any time and more than half of the population will have to go. ...

It is indeed brutal to kill one or two hundred million Americans. But that is the only path that will secure a Chinese century, a century in which the CCP leads the world. We, as revolutionary humanitarians, do not want deaths. But if history confronts us with a choice between deaths of Chinese and those of Americans, we'd have to pick the latter, as, for us, it is more important to safeguard the lives of the Chinese people and the life of our Party. ... The last problem I want to talk about is of firmly seizing the preparations for military battle. ... The central committee believes, as long as we resolve the United States problem at one blow, our domestic problems will all be readily solved. Therefore, our military battle preparation appears to aim at Taiwan, but in fact is aimed at the United States, and the preparation is far beyond the scope of attacking aircraft carriers or satellites. Marxism pointed out that violence is the midwife for the birth of the new society. Therefore war is the midwife for the birth of China's century.
