HOAX - 'Belgium Mayor Explains Why he Refused to Ban Pork From School Canteens'

"Circulating message features a strident letter supposedly sent to parents by Marc Duvivier, the mayor of the Belgium municipality of Ath, explaining why he refused to give in to demands from local Muslims to remove pork from school canteen menus."
Sorry, but it just is not true. TD
 
Hoax Slayer  
Message is a Hoax - No such Demands Were Made - No Letter Sent
However, the message is just a nasty hoax.   Mayor Duvivier did not write the letter and it was not sent to local parents by the municipality as claimed.

In fact, the mayor has denied that any requests to remove pork from school canteens were received in the first place.  Mayor Duvivier issued a denial back in 2013 when the hoax first began circulating, noting that the claims were lies. He
stated that:
[N]o person of any nationality or ethnic group whatsoever, have made ​​such a request to the municipal services, with Mr. Bruno Boel, Municipal Secretary, or myself.
It is unclear who started the false rumour. Given that the supposed Muslim demands to ban pork from canteens were never made, and the mayor did not write or send the letter, this message has no credibility whatsoever and should not be circulated.

Such false information can foster bigotry and hatred within communities and sharing it will serve no good purpose.

 

Krauthammer; The Gruber Confession

Charles Krauthammer


 
... " Remember: The whole premise of Obamacare was that it would help the needy, but if you were not in need, if you liked what you had, you would be left alone. Which is why Obama kept repeating — PolitiFact counted 31 times — that “if you like your plan, you can keep your plan.' ”...

... "But of course you couldn’t, as millions discovered when they were kicked off their plans last year. Millions more were further shocked when they discovered major hikes in their premiums and deductibles. It was their wealth that was being redistributed.
 
... "But now we know what lay behind Obama’s smooth reassurances — the arrogance of an academic liberalism, so perfectly embodied in the Gruber Confession, that rules in the name of a citizenry it mocks, disdains and deliberately, contemptuously deceives."   Full article

Legal Insurrection   "On airport televisions nationwide a news agency known as CNN is reporting that black shop owners near the site of ongoing protests in Ferguson MO are boarding up their shops.

Bosch Fawstin on “The Infidel, Featuring Pigman”

American Thinker:  Former Muslim sounding the alarm  "Asked whether there is such a thing as moderate Islam, Fawstin said: “No. There is only Islam. Islam is immoderate by nature.”

"Fawstin spoke of how very few leaders speak the truth about Islam.  In fact, essentially no leaders, as he pointed out that even Allen West has softened his language and that while Ted Cruz uses the word “jihad,” he never speaks about “Islam.” Thomas Lifson.  More here.

 
The Glazov Gang  Via Frontpage Mag  "This week’s Glazov Gang episode was joined by Bosch Fawstin, the world’s first anti-jihad comic book author and illustrator. He is The Eisner Award nominated cartoonist who is the creator of the new comic book series, The Infidel, Featuring Pigman, the superhero who is waging a new war against Islam.

"Bosch discussed his creation, “Pigman,” his childhood growing up as a Muslim, the threat we face in Islam, our leadership’s failure to confront the threat, and much, much more:"



"Don’t miss this week’s second episode with Louis Lionheart, a Christian preacher who engages in open-air debates, dialogues and evangelism on 3rd. Street Promenade in Santa Monica, Ca. His website is: TruthDefenders.com.
 
"Louis came on the show to discuss “The Case of Mohammed and Aisha,” dealing with the prophet of Islam’s marriage to a 6-year-old girl, and his “consummation” of that marriage when she was 9. Louis discusses the Islamic theology and texts that describe this marriage and how the Islamic and non-Islamic world has dealt, and not dealt, with the Islamic reality of this case. "

Another video from this interview: “The Case of Mohammed and Aisha,”

From Twitter:  Bosch Fawstin @BoschFawstin
Islam doesn't make our Islamic enemy believe they're going to win, Islamophilic Western politicians make them believe they're going to win.

Fawstin asks, Will Christians Kill Me for Drawing Jesus?    "No. As even atheist and religion critic Bill Maher says in the below video, unlike Muslims, "Vast numbers of Christians do not believe that if you draw a picture of Jesus Christ you should get killed for it." As a way of saying that Islam and its true believers are the Major problem today."

Commentaries on the ObamaCare bait-and-switch

First, lets define "bait and switch"   "FRAUD IS A FEDERAL CRIME - A FELONY:"
  • ... under the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the selling ploy of a particular establishment is liable of facing legal action against bait and switch fraud if: 
  • The advertised product is not shown or sold in agreement with the offer's precise terms 
  • The advertised product displayed is defective or impractical for the purposed implied in the advertisement. 
  • The advertised product is strongly criticized or lied about- either regarding the product's guarantee, credit terms, production value, service and repair availability, etc- in hopes of "upselling" to another "better" product.   Full IBA article here.

Jonathan Gruber's Freudian Slip  Recap, in case you hadn't heard:
"In a recent forum on healthcare and economics hosted by the University of Pennsylvania, Jonathan Gruber made the following statement about ObamaCare:
This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes, the bill dies. Okay, so it’s written to do that. In terms of risk-rated subsidies, if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in -- you made explicit healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed… Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass… Look, I wish Mark was right that we could make it all transparent, but I’d rather have this law than not.   More here.

NYT On Gruber: Everybody Lies To Get Legislation Passed

NRO: Calling Me Stupid   ... "Arrogance and condescension have too often characterized the attitudes of the current administration and their proponents. But the fact is, the American public is not stupid when it comes to Obamacare, and they are not deceived. Understanding this clunker and not liking it is precisely why this law has never been popular."
..."My patient with a thyroid problem couldn’t afford the necessary ultrasound and antibody tests to better understand her condition before Obamacare, and she can’t afford them now, either, because of her large deductible."

; Obamacare's Foundation of Lies  ... "I strongly support bipartisan efforts to expand the availability of health coverage to the working poor, and bending the cost curve that threatens federal budgets for years to come. While I think President Obama and congressional Democrats helped contribute to the 2009 standoff over what became the Affordable Care Act, I've openly rooted for Obamacare's success. I've denounced the knee-jerk opposition from the GOP, a party that once embraced key elements of Obamacare. My ideology is amorphous; I am not "on the right."                                    

"All of that, and yet: Gruber's remarks struck a nerve with me."

Bad Month for Obamacare   ..."With Republicans taking control of the Senate and expanding their majority in the House, we can expect an onslaught of bills to repeal the law or cut out important parts of it. While the presidential veto will likely prevent full repeal, the law’s supporters can expect to spend the next two years fighting a defensive war."

Who are you calling “stupid?”... "The people tried desperately to make their anti-Obamacare wishes known, but the Democratic members of Congress who were in the majority at the time refused to listen. Their leaders whipped them into line, and although a few were allowed to vote against, Pelosi and Reid made sure there wouldn’t be enough of them voting “nay” to actually derail the bill."

Contact info on Congress

Contact them now, regardless of the changes to come in January. The present congress is the dangerous one as I see it. TD

Online Directory for the 113th Congress
"Contacting the Congress is a very up-to-date citizen's congressional directory for the 113th Congress. As of November 13, 2014 there are 538 electronic contact addresses (of which 537 are Web-based contact forms), and 538 home pages known for the 540 members of the 113th Congress. Traditional ground mail addresses are available for all current members of Congress.

The President's fallback setting for the past six years and for the next, well, how many?

 
Sure, his term has just two years left, but Obama will spend the years after that blaming the next administration for messing up the great things he put in place.
When he says the war on ISIS, for example, is a long term war, you know he will dump it onto future administrations and blame them for any messes coming out of it.
No way will Obama and his sycophants allow the next administration to talk about the mess they "inherited" from this one.
 
Obama has the integrity of a spoiled adolescent and I have seen zero growth of his character in the last six years. The Tunnel Dweller.

Looking deep into the Obama Administration and their goals

Infidel Bloggers Alliance    "AMERICANS READY TO DIGEST THE TRUTH"
"Erik Rush is the Journalist who broke the story about Barack Obama's Pastor, Jeremiah Wright. Rush has been consistently and extremely critical of Barak Obama ever since he came on the scene.

"In this piece, Rush explains exactly why it is imperative that a Republican House and Senate dig through all the disgusting details of how the Obama Administration has defrauded and attacked America these past six years.
Case in point: Back in August, atheist scientist Lawrence M. Krauss asserted that religion could be essentially done away with in a generation if we simply changed how children were taught about faith and religious systems is schools. 
Now, going from manipulating our attitude about religion to that of all other progressive issues:

Having relativized morality, they’ve also factored in the curious notion that they occupy the moral high ground. This, as contradictory as it sounds, creates for them the moral imperative to behave amorally in order to achieve said ends. They’ve been called “deranged,” too – and now you understand why...

... "What’s particularly disgusting about this is that we have a situation in this country where people in government feel perfectly comfortable lying about a blatant attempt to legislate away Americans’ rights in a wholesale manner, and then admitting to it four years later without fear of being dragged out onto the Capitol Mall and burned in a bonfire with their co-conspirators." ...
