Newspapers that worked with Wikileaks denounce massive release of unredacted cables
 |
Spiegel: How many have died at the hands of the anti-war crowd? |
Hot Air " Read the Spiegel piece, which isn’t long, and read this short but gripping account from the inside by former Wikileaks staffer James Ball, who explains how the group’s recklessness has already led to dissidents being rounded up by oppressive governments. The grand irony of this little experiment in total transparency, of course, is that Wikileaks has become the authoritarian’s best friend, not only leading state police straight to the doorsteps of informants but giving potential informants every reason to keep their mouths shut when it comes to exposing their government’s crimes. Fantastic work for a “human-rights organization.” " (Emphasis added)
Wikileaks Killed 1300 People And Counting "OK, not killed but led to their deaths. Not our opinion but that of fame-hungry Julian Assange, who has undone the brilliant site by steering it towards an anti-USA agenda and media prominence."
‘Its an AQ/Taliban execution team’s treasure trove.’” "If I were a Taliban operative with access to a computer — and lots of them have access to computers — I’d start searching the WikiLeaks data for incident reports near my area of operation to see if I recognized anyone. And then I’d kill whomever I could identify. Those deaths would be directly attributable to WikiLeaks." |
| Soulmates of the anti-war left. |
Taliban prepare to punish WikiLeaks Afghan informers "Qari Yousef Ahmadi, a spokesman for the Taliban told the Daily Telegraph. "We read everything and we will read these documents.
" "We will look for the names of people, but it will be a judge who decides. We won't act unless we are 100 per cent sure. We are not just going to trust these documents, we will make our own inquiries. "
....
"Taliban fighters (right) routinely behead, hang or shoot dead those considered to be spies or associated with foreign troops"
Jewish Media, ADL, Snopes Work Overtime Whitewashing Anti-Israel Whole Foods; Here Are the FACTS
Debbie Schlussel "Here are the facts I reported–facts which remain solid and unrefuted:"
"Whole Foods dumped Israel’s best-selling product, Israeli olive oil, and replaced it with Palestinian Terrorist Olive Oil a/k/a Palestinian Canaan Fair Trade olive oil, which supports Muslim HAMAS and Fatah farmers and funds scholarships to HAMAS Terrorist University a/k/a An-Najah University in Nablus, which recruits for HAMAS, displays exhibits celebrating and mocking homicide bombings of Jews, where photos of Islamic terrorist leaders of Hezbollah, HAMAS, etc. line the walls, and where the American and Israeli flags are permanently affixed to the floor for students, faculty, and visitors to step on. "
"Whole Foods officially recognizes HAMAS’ “Palestine” as a state and said so in writing to people who complained about its anti-Israel stance." More....
* Whole Foods Funded Radio Intifada on KPFK radio station.
* Whole Foods’ London store doesn’t carry Israeli couscous because it does not want to offend British Muslims. Instead, Whole Foods London sells Palestinian Zaynoun couscous.
* Whole Foods’ Ramadan promotion was not “just like any other holiday promotion for Christmas or Passover,” because it spent a lot of money from its foundation to promote Ramadan and never any other holiday.

Presidential disrespect went around and now comes around
Legal Insurrection "G.O.P. vs. Obama: Disrespect or Just Politics? "
"That is the deeply probing question asked by The NY Times with regard to G.O.P. opposition to Obama.
"There was no such question when it came to Democratic treatment of George W. Bush, it was pure disrespect.
"Please dig deep into the history books and show me another President who was booed at his successor’s inauguration:"
"And another President who had sit not only through the booing, but also listen to his successor lay into him during the inaugural speech. As The Times itself noted, we have to go back 75 years for an inaugural speech as cutting as Obama’s:
It was a delicate task, with Mr. Bush and Dick Cheney sitting feet from him as Mr. Obama, only minutes into his term as president, described the false turns and the roads not taken….
"Yet not since 1933, when Franklin D. Roosevelt called for a “restoration” of American ethics and “action, and action now” as Herbert Hoover sat and seethed, has a new president so publicly rejected the essence of his predecessor’s path.
"Obama is being treated no worse than he and his supporters treated Bush. What goes around comes around."
From the NY Times article linked:
But White House officials, echoing their boss’s aversion to suggestions of racism, never play that card, not even in private conversations with reporters.
One administration official said that Mr. Obama “made it clear” when he came into office “that there wouldn’t be people crying wolf on race every day.”
For which we must praise Mr. Obama.
Zero Jobs 101 — the Psychology of Alienating Employers
Victor Davis Hanson The Great Sit-Down Strike
"In the last 30 months, the Obama administration has created a psychological landscape that finally just seemed, whether fairly or not, too hostile to most employers to risk new hiring and buying. Each act, in and of itself, was irrelevant. Together they are proving catastrophic and doing the near impossible of turning a brief recovery into another recession."
....
"Highly publicized visits to bankrupt subsidized green plants, blaming George Bush, new racially-driven invective from some congresspeople against the Tea Party, sermons about the sensitivities of illegal aliens, politically-correct tutorials about Islam — all that might rally the base or in isolation be understandable, but again fairly or not, such liberal rhetoric simply adds to the problem from yet another dimension: confirming perceptions that employers are about the last people in the world that this administration is worried about." (Emphasis added)
Will President Obama’s Thursday address be the worst speech ever? "...some presidential historians made the connection to Carter’s moment three decades ago."“It was a make-or-break speech,” said John Kenneth White, a political science professor at Catholic University. Carter had “gone to Camp David to assess what had gone wrong in the energy crisis, but also what had gone wrong with his presidency, to hit the restart button.”"
....
"And it’s not like the president has announced a cabinet shakeup or fired any of his army of czars.
"It’s not looking too good so far."
(Updated) Wikileaks makes public hundreds of thousands of unredacted State Department docs
Rick Moran "The juvenile hackers who run Wikileaks have probably just murdered dozens of people around the world. They have dumped their entire cache of State Department cables into the public domain - without redacting names of informants."
....
"And this is the guy the left has put on a pedestal and lionized? "
One example from 2006 described an encounter between US officers and an Afghan. The Times has redacted the report to ensure that no individual or their relatives could be targeted.Yesterday the account of Mr [X]’s meeting was accessible to anyone on the internet with the thousands of others published by WikiLeaks. When The Times sought to track down Mr [X] to ask his response, he was found to be dead.He was killed by the Taleban two years ago after being suspected of spying for American forces.
"Anyway, so the Taliban are doing exactly what I said they would do, in my pieces for PBS and CJR: they are vowing to hunt down and murder anyone who is identified in the Wikileaks archive as having worked for the U.S."
Google being Google, you have to look pretty deep past a list of pro-Wikileaks articles that all deny that anyone has been hurt ("there is no evidence,,,"). Mr. Assange, who is angry over the "collateral damage" caused by US strikes seems to have no worries about causing it himself.
Don't expect the whole 'jobs plan' to be unveiled in Obama's speech
Rick Moran "Why, when some presidents get in trouble, do they insist on "reorganizing" the government? In the end, they usually make things worse by creating another department or agency that simply grows the size of government and employs more federal workers.
"I think what this downplaying of Obama's speech shows is that they really don't have a plan at all and that repeating banalities on a speaking tour is all they've got. It will no doubt be a "Blame the GOP" tour - about the only thing the president has demonstrated an ability to accomplish."
Walsh calls Obama ‘idiotic’ "“How idiotic is this president?” Walsh said to the GOP crowd Wednesday night in Nunda Township. “I don’t want to be disrespectful, but he’s going to bring forth a jobs plan next week. Think about that for a minute. He’s been in office for three years. He’s destroyed job creation systematically for three years.” "
"An acrimonious Bashir, perhaps not surprisingly, then resorted to citing racism as the reason behind Walsh‘s stated decision to skip Obama’s jobs speech next Thursday:"
Education Secretary Arne Duncan has trashed Texas schools, but Texas gets great bang for the buck.
Insider Online "The Obama administration made what was supposed to be a pre-emptive strike on Texas Governor Rick Perry, but which turned out to be, in baseball terms, a “swing … and a miss.” The administration unleashed Education Secretary Arne Duncan to attack Texas’s record on education, with Duncan saying he feels “very, very badly for the children.” When pressed to explain precisely what Texas has done wrong on education, Duncan came up a bit short on specifics.

Dennis Kucinich linked to Communist Party
Wikipedia "Links to Communist Party
Dennis Kucinich has reportedly been close to the Communist Party USA since his days in Cleveland Ohio council politics in the 1960s.
Take Kucinich first. As mayor of Cleveland in the late 1960s, he represented one of the most “left” elements in the Democratic Party during the heyday of the radical protest movement. He was closely allied with the Stalinists of the CPUSA, who still had significant influence in the working class of Cleveland, particularly in such unions as the UE and UAW. With the collapse of the protest movement and the shift to the right in American bourgeois politics, Kucinich was driven out of political life for two decades, before returning to office as a state legislator and ultimately winning a congressional seat. World Socialist Web Site
Dennis Kucinich and the Communists "After all he is a member of the far left Congressional Progressive Caucus.
"Few realize however, that Dennis Kucinich is allied to members of the Communist Party USA, a party with more allegiance to China and Cuba than to the the United States of America.
"Check out this official Kucinich ad from his brief 2008 presidential campaign."
"The video doesn’t say so, but Bruce Bostick is no ordinary steelworker. He is a veteran of the 1969 Venceremos Brigade to Cuba and a long time Ohio and national official of the Communist Party USA."
Pro-Communist Kucinich Caught Shilling for Gadhafi? "Given his long time communist ties, Kucinich’s denial of improper activity on behalf of Libya’s former socialist leader should not be taken at face value.
"Dennis Kucinich should be investigated by Congress to determine whether he has ever acted improperly on behalf of the Gadhafi regime.
"Or is covertly working as the agent of a hostile foreign power no longer considered unacceptable behavior for a US congressman?"

Mike Adams "I am writing to express my deep disappointment with your recent decision to push for an expansion of the definition of marriage – one that allows for marriage between a man and a man or between a woman and a woman. Most of your recent critics are writing because they think your crusade on this issue has gone too far. I’m writing because I don’t think it goes far enough."....
"When people attack you for your recent success in legalizing same sex marriage they are likely to use scare tactics. They are likely to say that you have opened the door for incestuous and polygamous marriages. I want you to resist the temptation to dismiss their remarks as homophobic. To do so would actually reinforce phobias against incest and polygamy. So, instead, please show some courage and admit that the same logic that allows for same sex marriage also allows for incestuous and polygamous marriage."
Note to Readers: The author of this satire doesn’t have a sister. Nor does he own pets. But he does own a copy of A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift.
Mike Adams is a criminology professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington and author of Feminists Say the Darndest Things: A Politically Incorrect Professor Confronts "Womyn" On Campus
