   And so it begins….

   Informants scrutinized in Fort Dix case

   The MSM has decided that since the breaking of the Fort Dix terror plot is an embarrasment to their Democrat pets, the subject must be changed.

   In other words – in some strange, twisted, Kool-Aid way – it’s all Bush’s fault.

   Yeah, that was back when MTV actually played music videos! I remember them before VJ’s, and before commercials at all, when they were fresh and new and innovative. Been a while eh?

   With all the fires around the country, the Ham Lake fire up in Minnesota is hitting a bit close to home. It very nearly took out my canoe outfitter, Tuscarora.

   There’s a fire in MN as well? I heard about the one in Southern California but not that one. I hope it goes well for you.

   I can beat that MD.

   Bush blamed for cheating dental students

   It just doesn’t get any better than this:

   Here’s what Dr. Anne Koerber, associate professor of dentistry at the University of Illinois at Chicago, an expert in dental education had to say: “When you have persons in high places who clearly lie about what’s happening with weapons of mass destruction… I think the general public gets the idea that anything that makes money is what’s right.”

   Because, as we all know, nobody every cheated on anything until Bush took office.

   BDS in full swing.

   Isn’t it something? If it weren’t so freakin tragic, it might be funny.

   Yeah, but make the analogy that kids today are engaging in oral sex at earlier and earlier ages, and don’t consider it “sex” because of a certain intern hitting the carpet in the Oval Office with Clinton, and they’ll tell you you’re full of it! Must be nice to be a liberal, never responsible for anything, living in a fantasy world. Unfortunately most of us adults have too firm a grasp on reality and its consequences.

    What Does Muslim Immigration Cost Europe?
    Fjordman – 5/10/2007
    Do gang rapes boost GDP? Was that an offensive question, you say? Well, according to Sweden’s finance minister Pär Nuder, more immigrants should be allowed into Sweden in order to safeguard the welfare system. However, in reality estimates indicate that immigration costs Sweden at least 40 to 50 billion Swedish kroner every year, probably several hundred billions, and has greatly contributed to bringing the Swedish welfare state to the brink of bankruptcy. An estimated cost of immigration of 225 billion Swedish kroner in 2004, which is not unlikely, would equal 17.5% of Sweden’s tax income that year, a heavy burden in a country which already has some of the highest levels of taxation in the world.
    At the same time, the number of rape charges in Sweden has quadrupled in just above twenty years. Rape cases involving children under the age of 15 are six times as common today as they were a generation ago. Resident aliens from Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia dominate the group of rape suspects. Lawyer Ann Christine Hjelm, who has investigated violent crimes in one court, found that 85 per cent of the convicted rapists were born on foreign soil or by foreign parents. Swedish politicians want to continue Muslim immigration because it boosts the economy, yet the evidence so far indicates that it mainly boosts the number of gang rapes. Meanwhile, research shows that fear of honor killings is a very real issue for many immigrant girls in Sweden. 100.000 young Swedish girls live as virtual prisoners of their own families.

    The 3 last paragraphs.

    As Bat Ye’or points out, most of the workings of Eurabia are hidden from the public view, but sometimes we can catch glimpses of it if we know what to look for. Italian Leftist PM Romano Prodi, President of the European Commission, the Politburo of the EUSSR, from 1999 to 2004, wants more cooperation with Arab countries. He talks about a free trade zone with the Arab world, but this implies the four freedoms of the EU, which includes the free movement of people. This is made clear in a document from 2003. This fact, and the implications of it, is virtually never mentioned in European media. During the Sixth Euro-Med Ministerial Conference in Brussels, 2003, it is stated that this initiative offers the EU’s neighboring partners “gradual integration into the expanded European internal market and the possibility of ultimately reaching the EU’s four fundamental freedoms: free movement of goods, services, capital and people.” Ministers were also expected to back the Commission’s proposal to set up a Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the Dialogue of Cultures, a Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly and a reinforced European Investment Bank (EIB).

    In June 2006, after his Leftist coalition government signalized that they would be much more lenient with Muslim immigration to Italy, Romano Prodi announced that “It’s time to look south and relaunch a new policy of cooperation for the Mediterranean.” He was thinking of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership, launched in 1994 in Barcelona. Prodi said he had raised the issue with Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, and Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. The prime minister then explained that the Barcelona Process – which includes the creation of a free trade zone by 2010 – was no longer sufficient and a new different approach was needed. “The countries on the southern shores of the Mediterranean expect that from us” he added.

    Muslim immigration is costing enormous sums and creating havoc across Western Europe, and EU leaders are working to give Muslims easier access to Europe – because Arabs expect this from them. Thank you for pointing this out, Mr. Prodi. And thank you for removing all doubts whether the European Union needs to be dismantled, and its treacherous and corrupt political elites removed from power.

    The EU needs a conservative revival and fast. Seems to me that a lot of leaders in Europe are in denial about what they are up against. – Lorica

    More Muslim immigration into Italy? Man, didn’t what happened to the Romans make any sort of an impression on these people? Didn’t the wars against the Ottoman Empire and the Moors make a dent in their collective psyches? The old line about ignoring history at your peril is very apt.

    ST, I might have you beat….spent over 21 hours sitting on airplanes starting Thursday night. And eating airline food. I’ll deal with the computer problems if you’ll deal with the travel problems.
