Obvious Traitor File: Anti-Palin Nuts Cheered On By ISO's Socialist Workers' Publication

Now certainly, your resident blogger can be polite about it when it comes to a certain Sarah Palin, but be critical of her in a fair manner when she sat down to dine with Billy Graham, whose family has been well known to be bi-partisan and be a friend of the ruling Communist ruling family of North Korea. Also, as well, it seems that the far left has got some new friends when it comes to hating the former Governor. They got members of the International Socialist Organization (ISO), an "independent" Communist youth group well known to be affiliated with the Communist Party USA which cheered on the anti-Palin protesters.

One wonders how Left is someone like Charles Johnson, a.k.a. Darth Libel and his Little Green Footballs when it comes to falsely depicting the former Governor as a "racist" but has no say about our current President's former pastor paling around with black racists, and also being an allege pal of Bill Ayers? Here's more on the ISO supporting the anti-Palin protesters:

Rochester stands up to Sarah Palin
By Ream Kidane November 30, 2009

ROCHESTER, N.Y.--About 80 people gathered outside a local Borders bookshop to "welcome" Sarah Palin on a stop on her book tour. They faced down over 1,000 Palin supporters who had come to have their books signed.

Palin, who is currently peddling her book Going Rogue: An American Life, is trying to revive a political career that should have ended with the her disastrous vice presidential candidacy.

Protesters held signs addressing a broad range of issues, from support for equal marriage rights to opposition to the war in Afghanistan. "I'm here because she stands against everything I'm for, and I stand for everything she's against--universal health care, a woman's right to choose abortion and gay rights," said R.J. Bean.

The crowd chanted "Racist, sexist, anti-gay, Sarah Palin go away" and "Not the church, not the state, women must decide their fate" as people driving by honked in support. "Sarah Palin is portrayed as a feminist by the media," said Ryan Gromkoski, a local activist. "I'm here to let people know that there are people that are standing up to her. She's anti-woman and anti-gay, and as a feminist, I have no respect for this woman."

Carole Hoffman, a member of the National Organization for Women (NOW), spoke about arguing within her organization that they should make a call to the membership to come out and attend the rally. She expressed her disappointment that they felt the best way to deal with someone like Sarah Palin is to ignore her. "I'm insulted by someone who thinks that we should teach creationism in schools, and by her stance on reproductive rights," said Hoffman. "We shouldn't think that by ignoring the right, they'll go away."

Because of Palin's appalling political record, the rally offered a great opportunity for activists on a wide range of progressive issues to meet each other. "There are a lot of us, we are the majority," said Kash Chung, a local student organizer. "We need no longer be a silent majority."

You Can't Be This Stupid File: Do Lefties Running LoonWatch.com Know What Dhimmitude Means?

It's quite the obvious, Leftists running LoonWatch.com are doing everything they can (and doing the Council on American-Islamic Relations' work for them) when it comes to labeling anti-Jihad bloggers "Islamophobes". They spend more time attacking Christianity's old sectarian beliefs when it comes to those whom were not part of the Christian faith, or differed from certain views of Christianity. Christians for the most part have given up violent clashes between different Christian sects.

However, these Lefties are ignoring an obvious term known as Dhimmitude which states as the following:

"Dhimmitude: the Islamic system of governing populations conquered by jihad wars, encompassing all of the demographic, ethnic, and religious aspects of the political system. The word "dhimmitude" as a historical concept, was coined by Bat Ye'or in 1983 to describe the legal and social conditions of Jews and Christians subjected to Islamic rule. The word "dhimmitude" comes from dhimmi, an Arabic word meaning "protected". Dhimmi was the name applied by the Arab-Muslim conquerors to indigenous non-Muslim populations who surrendered by a treaty (dhimma) to Muslim domination. Islamic conquests expanded over vast territories in Africa, Europe and Asia, for over a millennium (638-1683). The Muslim empire incorporated numerous varied peoples which had their own religion, culture, language and civilization. For centuries, these indigenous, pre-Islamic peoples constituted the great majority of the population of the Islamic lands. Although these populations differed, they were ruled by the same type of laws, based on the shari'a.

This similarity, which includes also regional variations, has created a uniform civilization developed throughout the centuries by all non-Muslim indigenous people, who were vanquished by a jihad-war and governed by shari'a law. It is this civilization which is called dhimmitude. It is characterized by the different strategies developed by each dhimmi group to survive as non-Muslim entity in their Islamized countries. Dhimmitude is not exclusively concerned with Muslim history and civilization. Rather it investigates the history of those non-Muslim peoples conquered and colonized by jihad.

Dhimmitude encompasses the relationship of Muslims and non-Muslims at the theological, social, political and economical levels. It also incorporates the relationship between the numerous ethno-religious dhimmi groups and the type of mentality that they have developed out of their particular historical condition which lasted for centuries, even in some Muslim countries, till today.

Dhimmitude is an entire integrated system, based on Islamic theology. It cannot be judged from the circumstantial position of any one community, at a given time and in a given place. Dhimmitude must be appraised according to its laws and customs, irrespectively of circumstances and political contingencies."

So why spend more time trying to go after extremists or perceived extremists whom happen to be not Islamic? When their self-describe Islamic counterparts outnumber them ten to one? There is an obvious larger elephant in the room, and it seems these PCish Leftists are ignoring it.

Forgetful Elephants File: Mike Huckabee, Soft On Violent Criminals?

Now your resident blogger thinks of a certain Faux Rightist Mike Huckabee to be a big nanny-statist, but is he soft on crime too? It's quite irionic, politicians like Huckabee spend more time on dictating on how people should loose weight, stop drinking soda and eat less fast and fatty foods. But they don't have the time to protect the public from a cop-killer like Maurice Clemmons. I also wonder how a certain Uhuru racist troll can explain how a white politician like Huckabee can be so kind hearted to someone as violent as Clemmons? Go figure.

CFR File: Namibian Ruling Marxist Party Retains Control; Namibia Opposition Threaten Legal Actions; AIDS Day Come Dec. 1st

It seems another country elsewhere in the world retains continuing to be a member of the Communist bloc. While new countries such as Uruguay and also in the near future-Peru have been targets of being absorbed into the Communist bloc. It seems that open Communist-controlled countries such as Namibia are trying to legitimize their rule by using the democratic process. Not in the manner what Venezuela went through with Comrade Hugo being formerly engaged against a democratic government, only to take power in the late 90's and now be the one to accuse the opposition of being "collaborators" with the USA. But here's the odd part here when it comes to a country like Namibia, tomorrow happens to be World AIDS Day, how is it that Namibia's elections just so happen to follow close to that date?

The Marxist party that's been ruling Namibia for some time is known as the South-West African People's Organization, pictured to the right of the blog is its current leader and Namibia's Marxist President Hifikepunye Pohamba which the election poster in particular oddly looks more authoritarian than democratic. Reason why Namibia's an odd Marxist country, is that it needs the West's support which Western governments are helping to subsidize the Namibia government through the U.N's UNICEF program, as a slide show attempts to show the public on why Namibia needs to end poverty, AIDS, et al. But here's the real tongue twister here, is the money really going to the people of Namibia? Of course not! It's not going to the Namibian people, it instead is going to members of the ruling Marxist party whom have managed to likely cheated in recent elections. Besides that, this ruling Marxist party is also a member of the Kremlin-controlled Socialist International.

How is it can the West support something like this in supporting the United Nation's efforts with helping to subsidize an obvious corrupt Namibian government? Here's more on Namibian oppositon parties stating they'd threaten election legal action:

Namibia opposition parties mull legal action as results trickle in

WINDHOEK — Opposition parties threatened legal action Monday over alleged irregularities in Namibia's general election in which early returns gave the ruling party a comfortable lead.

"Two ballot books disappeared at a primary school in northern Namibia, but we got no comment form the Electoral Commission of Namibia," said Henk Mudge, president of the Republican Party and spokesman for the six aggrieved opposition parties.

"A government vehicle was seen dropping ballot boxes at a school in the capital Windhoek without Police escort in the night from Sunday to Monday," he added.

"The list of irregularities is much longer like the indelible ink washing off from a voter's thumb after voting, creating an opportunity to vote more then once, but we will hand a detailed list of all these to our legal advisors for advice and then consider curt action."

However international observers said the polls held last week were "free and fair".

"I declare that the presidential and National Assembly elections were transparent, credible, peaceful, free and fair," said Francisco Madeira, who headed the observer mission for the Southern African Development Community (SADC).

The 15-nation bloc deployed 120 observers across Namibia for the presidential and parliamentary elections held Friday and Saturday.

The ruling South West Africa People's Organisation (SWAPO), in power since independence in 1990, faced a challenge from the breakaway Rally for Democracy and Progress (RDP), but took a lead in the first small batch of returns.

With just under 50,000 votes counted, President Hifikepunye Pohamba took 63.4 percent, against under 12 percent for his nearest rival, RDP leader Hidipo Hamutenya in the presidential vote. The results showed a similar pattern in the parliamentary race.

The SADC observers did recommend that electoral authorities improve their communication, and called for earlier release of the voter roll to "minimize future discrepancies".

The first results were only announced Monday morning, some 36 hours after polls closed on Saturday night.

Meanwhile the RDP has complained that parties were not given enough information about the vote counting process, with new verification centres blamed for holding up the release of results.

Though no major incidents of violence had been reported so far, safety and security minister Nickey Iyambo warned Monday that the police would act swiftly should outbreaks.

"Police will not take it lightly if violence broke out when parties or individuals celebrate their election victories," he said.

"We deal with whoever is found guilty of political violence in the aftermath of the elections, the public should refrain form acts of violence and expressions that might harm or offend political opponents."

Useful Idiots: Hey Stupid Commies Who Support Hamas, You Want This Banned?

Isn't it amazing how stupid the far left can really be here? It seems that while they detail how "evil" Zionists, Jews and Israel are to the Palestinians. They are silent about Hamas imposing a ban on women dancing. Wait, I thought you Lefties harped so much about being feminists? Guess when it only comes to promoting YOUR cause.

When those who you believe are "oppressed" from "evil" Capitalism and the West impose this kind of stuff on women, you stay oddly silent. Why is that?

Grey Terror: Average Criminal Rampage Or Something More? 4 Cops Shot Assassination Style

It seems quite suspicious that a simple average criminal, turned cop-killer could be able to accomplish something like this. Four police officers sitting at a local coffee place were shot dead assassination style, as if their killer KNEW they were going to be just sitting ducks. But who could possibly be the culprit? Let's just hope it's just some loner criminal, turned cop-killer and not some more subsersive types such as your typical white supremacist or members of the Uhuru Movement who'd love to support this kind of violence on police officers. They did with their support of dead cop-killer Lovelle Mixon. Their own typical display of anti-white racism led Lovelle's own family to condemn what he did, and also condemn the notorious Uhuru Movement. Typically enough, Communists for decades whom have penetrated the hip-hop industry as hip-hop artists have often encouraged violence on police, over the cry of how the police are still being run by white racists. Even when real white racists are no fans of the police either. Some updates it seems the suspected perpetrator goes by the name of Maurice Clemmons. Although it seems he is the typical career criminal, so was Lovelle Mixon, a fellow cop killer. Maurice's African-American could play an unfortnate ugly role, I'm sure those within the African People's Socialist Party, who organize the Uhuru Movement would LOVE to defend another horrible cop-killer.

Here's more on the suspicious behavior, but let's hope this is some average criminal, and not something more than just that at least for now:

4 police officers shot dead at Wash. coffeehouse

By GENE JOHNSON, Associated Press Writer Gene Johnson, Associated Press Writer

PARKLAND, Wash. – One of four police officers killed in an ambush at a coffee house Sunday fought with the gunman and may have wounded him before the officer died just outside the doorway, a sheriff's spokesman said.

Pierce County sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer told reporters that investigators were asking area medical providers to report any people wounded by gunshots.

Troyer said investigators believe two of the officers were shot dead while sitting in the shop, and a third was killed after standing up. The fourth apparently struggled with the gunman out the doorway and "gave up a good fight," getting off a few shots before he was either shot there or succumbed to earlier wounds.

"We believe there was a struggle, a commotion, a fight ... that he fought the guy all the way out the door," Troyer said.

He added, "We hope that he hit him."

The gunman burst into the coffee house Sunday morning and opened fire on the officers as they sat working on their laptops, killing the three men and one woman in what Troyer described as a targeted ambush.

Troyer said officers were looking for one male suspect who fled the scene and haven't ruled out an accomplice, possibly a getaway driver.

Troyer said investigators determined that a hoax call from a person in nearby Tacoma led officers to believe the gunman was on foot and still near the coffee shop. A number of officers spent part of the afternoon carefully searching buildings close by.

Troyer said the attack was clearly targeted at the officers, not a robbery gone bad.

"This was more of an execution. Walk in with the specific mindset to shoot police officers," he said.

Troyer said the officers — all from the Lakewood Police Department — were catching up on paperwork at the beginning of their shifts when they were attacked at 8:15 a.m. Sunday.

"There were marked patrol cars outside and they were all in uniform," Troyer said.

With no known suspects, there was no indication of any connection with the Halloween night shooting of a Seattle police officer. The suspect in that shooting remains hospitalized.

"We won't know if it's a copycat effect or what it was until we get the case solved," Troyer said. "We don't even have a suspect ID right now."

Troyer would not release the names of the victims in Sunday's shooting. He said Lakewood has a small police force and the deaths represent a loss of 10 percent to 15 percent of the department.

Troyer estimated that a couple of hundred officers from the Washington State Patrol and multiple surrounding police agencies in the area were at the crime scene, with some coming on their own time.

"We have no motive at all," Troyer said. "I don't think when we find out what it is, it will be anything that makes any sense or be worth it."

Two employees and a few other customers were in the shop during the attack. All are being interviewed by the Pierce County Sheriff's investigators.

"Some are in shock. They are very upset," Troyer said. "They are the ones who are going to put together for us how this happened."

The Forza Coffee Shop, part of a popular local chain, is on a side street near McChord Air Force Base in Tacoma, about 35 miles south of Seattle. The shop is in a small retail center alongside two restaurants, a cigar store and a nail salon.

Brad Carpenter, founder and owner of Forza Coffee, said his staff was OK and being interviewed by police, and that his main concern was for the families of the police officers.

"I'm a retired police officer, so this really hits close to home for me," said Carpenter, of nearby Gig Harbor.

Troyer said the Lakewood officers were two blocks outside their jurisdiction, and the coffee shop was a popular place for officers from surrounding jurisdictions to meet and share information.

Streets around the coffee shop were blocked off late Sunday morning, and a police helicopter hovered over a large crowd of investigators. TV video showed police taking possession of a pickup truck parked in a grocery store in Parkland.

"We are looking at some people. We are looking at some cars. We are looking at some residences," Troyer said.

Troyer said investigators were checking surveillance video from multiple sources, trying to identify a possible getaway car.

Dave Gabrielson, a clerk at Foot Mart about a block away from the coffee shop, told the newspaper all was quiet when he opened the store at 8 a.m. About 30 minutes later, "All of a sudden a million cops were zooming up and down the road," Gabrielson said.

He said he saw officers bring a police dog into a nearby apartment complex.

Last month, Seattle police officer Timothy Brenton was shot and killed Halloween night as he was sitting in a cruiser with trainee Britt Sweeney. Sweeney was grazed in the neck.

Authorities say the man charged with that shooting also firebombed four police vehicles in October as part of a "one-man war" against law enforcement. Christopher Monfort, 41, was arrested after being wounded in a firefight with police days after the Seattle shooting. He remains hospitalized in stable condition, the hospital said Sunday.

The officers killed Sunday were a patrol squad made up of three officers and their sergeant. No threats had been made against them or other officers in the region, sheriff's officials said. Their families have been notified.

"We lost people we care about. We're working to find out who did this and deal with him." Pierce County Sheriff Paul Pastor told reporters at the scene.

Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire said she was "shocked and horrified" by the killings.

"Our police put their lives on the line every day, and tragedies like this remind us of the risks they continually take to keep our communities safe," she said in a written statement. "My heart goes out to the family, friends and co-workers of these officers, as well as the entire law enforcement community."

At Rollies Tavern near the coffee house, the plasma TVs usually tuned to football had Northwest Cable News on. Three bar patrons live next door to the coffee house.

Jerry Arnold, 45, was in bed when he was awakened by sirens. He's lived there seven years and never seen anything close to Sunday's scene.

"I hope they get them. I can't sleep until they do," he said. "Those guys could be hiding in my backyard."

Forgetful Elephants File: Sarah Palin Sits Down With Billy Graham, A Friend Of The Communist Ruling Family Of North Korea?

It seems in order for a certain Sarah Palin to get cozy with the Republican elite, you'd have to be friendly with those whom are suggestively socially Conservative. In this case, she recently dined down with a certain Billy Graham. But what's the matter with Graham? His family is said to have close allege relations with the ruling Communist family of the notorious Kim Jong-Il. Most recently, Billy's son Franklin Graham back in October gave a welcoming gift to the tyrant and his family.

To be fair, Billy's bi-partisian when it comes to choosing who'd lead the USA. Going Rogue with Sarah? When it comes to dining with someone who possibly is paling around with North Korea's Communist tyrant and his family, well it just bothers one self to re-think it. But don't give your hopes up, the Graham Family is also affiliated with the Democrats too. Not just those social Conservative Republicans. Pictured to the right is Billy Graham greeting Kim Yong Dae, a top North Korean Communist, not to be confused with the South Korean football player of the same name.

CFR File: Peru Heads Toward Communism? Jailed Shining Path Leader Hopes For Amnesty; Uruguay Heads Toward Communism Too?

Isn't this quite scary here? It seems the Shining Path terrorist group is quite at it again. This time trying to get Peruvian citizens to see a "different light" of this terrorist group. But we'd have to wait until 2011 until that happens. These Shining Path terrorists and their political wing are hoping to get their leader Abimael Guzman set free, via amnesty program which the Peruvian government has said to promote. How is it that someone like this who has murdered countless of innocent Peruvian lives now wishes to become their leader? But only if it were under a "democratic" process? How'd Leftists justify another left-wing monster possibly taking leadership of another Latin American country such as Peru? They did it with Comrade Hugo who was back during the mid 90's of trying to ouster a democratically elected government. Now Comrade Hugo's in charge, and installing a Communist-style dictatorship, via the democratic process.

Is it possible the Shining Path is waiting in the wings for 2011 to copy this atrocity? Let's hope they don't have the means to have a candidate up and running and their left-wing monster leader doesn't get amnesty:

Peru's Shining Path eyes candidates for 2011 vote
Mon Nov 23, 2009 11:18pm EST

LIMA, Nov 23 (Reuters) - Members of Peru's Shining Path insurgency will form a political party and field candidates for the 2011 general elections, lawyers for the Maoist group's jailed founder said on Monday in a move the government may try to block.

The filing with election authorities is part of a broader push by lawyers for Abimael Guzman to put pressure on the government to adopt an amnesty program for atrocities committed by Peru's army and the rebels during a vicious civil war that killed 69,000 people in the 1980s and 1990s.

"We are going to participate in the political life of the country as a movement at the national level and also in elections -- be they general, regional or municipal," said Alfredo Crespo, one of the lawyers for Guzman, who is serving a life sentence.

"We think that in our country there should be general amnesty for political prisoners and social fighters."

Crespo said the new party, called the "Movement for Amnesty and Fundamental Rights," could field its own candidates or support those from other leftist parties.

The lawyers, who insist the Shining Path was fighting a just war, say Guzman should be freed from prison because many former military officers who massacred suspected leftists were never put on trial.

The government says it cannot grant amnesty to a group that sought to impose change by starting a war in 1980 instead of participating in democratic elections.

Manuel Fajardo, another lawyer for Guzman, said the new party may try to form coalitions.

"We don't rule out alliances. We are very interested, for example, in the movement of Father Arana," he said, referring to Marco Arana, a progressive Roman Catholic priest with political ambitions.

Although public opinion is overwhelmingly against the Shining Path, Guzman has encouraged his followers, many of whom were once jailed, to participate in elections as voters or candidates.

President Alan Garcia cannot run again for the presidency in 2011 and candidates from the left and right are already starting to jockey for position.

Opinion polls show one of the front-runners is Keiko Fujimori, a right-wing lawmaker whose father, former President Alberto Fujimori, is in jail for human rights crimes committed when he was battling the Shining Path. (Reporting by Terry Wade; Editing by John O'Callaghan)

In addition to this, aside from Peru possibly setting a doomsday date of 2011 for "former" Shining Path terrorists to take the leadership of Peru, it seems the citizens of Uruguay are going to the polls to possibly vote in a "former" Uruguay Communist as its leader. With a sad update, it seems Uruguay has fallen to the Red Axis of Latin America, freedom will be erased via the democratic process. On a side note, members of the Ku Klux Klan thought it would be "wonderful" way of changing their image by showing up at a sports rally at the University of Mississippi. What does the KKK have to do with the rise of Communism in Latin America, via democracy? Communists are trying to masqurade themselves as "democrats", the KKK attempted to masqurade themselves as the return of Southern Pride. In the case with the Klan, they got booed, in the case of "reformed" Communist insurgent/terrorist leaders they got voted in. Hypocrisy? You tell me, both have indeed terrorist careers, yet one pretends to respect democracy while the other still doesn't:

Former Communist Guerrila vs Former President -- Uruguay Goes to the Polls
Uruguay is holding a presidential runoff election Sunday that pits Sen. Jose "Pepe" Mujica, a former guerrila leader and candidate of the governing leftist Broad Front, against National Party candidate Luis Alberto Lacalle, who served as president from 1990 to 1995.

MONTEVIDEO -- Uruguay is holding a presidential runoff election Sunday that pits Sen. Jose "Pepe" Mujica, a former guerrila leader and candidate of the governing leftist Broad Front, against National Party candidate Luis Alberto Lacalle, who served as president from 1990 to 1995.

The polls opened at 8:00 a.m. amid a forecast that calls for heavy rains during the day.

The opening of the polls in provinces in central and northern Uruguay affected by flooding was delayed, election officials said.

Nine of Uruguay's 19 provinces - Artigas, Salto, Paysandu, Soriano, Cerro Largo, Treinta y Tres, Colonia, Rivera and Durazno - have been affected by flooding in the past week.

"There were some problems and delays" in opening rural election precincts in Salto, Paysandu, Treinta y Tres and Soriano, Electoral Court chief Edgardo Martinez Zimarioff said.

The polls are scheduled to close at 7:30 p.m., but election officials have the option of extending the balloting for up to one hour if voters are still on line at closing time.

Some 2.5 million people are eligible to vote in the runoff between the two top vote-getters in the Oct. 25 election.

Neither candidate won more than 50 percent of the vote last month, forcing Sunday's runoff.

Mujica garnered 48 percent of the vote in the first round, while Lacalle won 29 percent of the vote.

The Colorado Party, whose candidate won 18 percent of the vote in the election, is supporting Lacalle this time around.

The 74-year-old Mujica said as he cast his ballot in Montevideo that he was "thinking about some who are not here," referring to comrades who died in the armed struggle.

Mujica, former leader of the National Liberation Movement-Tupamaros, was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he cast his ballot.

The weather service is forecasting heavy rains, strong winds, thunderstorms and possible hail for Sunday afternoon.

Question For The Week File: What's Driving The Rise Of The Ugly Return Of Neo-Fascism?

Obvious Traitor File: What Does The Communist Party USA Have To Say About US Holidays?

A bit of a small update to answer of question twelve, it seems that members of the Communist Party USA are no fans of the USA's traditional holidays either. In the instance of Columbus Day, the CPUSA wishes that if it ever got the chance it could abolish that holiday altogether. These Commies also hate the Fourth of July, gee, I can't imagine why these folks seem to also despise the Founding Fathers of the USA. That's not the only holiday, but also Thanksgiving, as it seems they are irked by the sort of Capitalistic consumerism that follows the next day known as Black Friday. Seriously, no one's forcing them to go out and buy, buy, buy on that day. It is one's choice in a free society to or not to buy on that day. I'm sure these Reds may also agree on being quite sensitive in renaming the Christmas and Easter holidays to be "Winter" and "Spring". Even though I do not know what Santa Claus, a Roman/German oritenated semi-Paganish Christmas tree, a candy cane or Mr. Cotton Tail Rabbit have anything to do with promoting Christianity.

Here's more on the Communist Party USA, exposing here that those whom are quite observant with the PCish way in celebrating the holidays are also the Obvious Traitors and Useful Idiots for their cause:

Thankful for Thanksgiving

by: Elena Mora
November 25 2009

While I don't care much about Columbus Day (except that there's no school, which when my kids were younger was a pain in the ass...), I do like Thanksgiving. As do most people in our country, who gather every year in all kinds of different arrangements and combinations, for an overdose of the four Fs: food, family, friends, football.

I mention these two holidays because they are among the most maligned by some on the left end of the political spectrum (along with the 4th of July), because of their connection to the European colonization of the Americas.

Make no mistake, the arrival of the Europeans, for which Columbus is ostensibly celebrated in October, was disastrous for the millions of Native American people living here.

It was, indeed, genocide, both intended and unintended. In his book, "1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus," Peter C. Mann argues that the impact of the Europeans was even more catastrophic than previously thought, and that there had existed large, thriving civilizations. He points to new archeological work that hints at how developed and widespread were the accomplishments of the people whose societies were destroyed.

I highly recommend the book -- it's a thought-provoking read.

But does anyone celebrate Thanksgiving because it symbolizes European colonial triumph? Don't millions of Americans celebrate the holiday - simply because it's a day to relax, (over)eat and enjoy the company of others?

And if the Thanksgiving "story" is oversimplified to the point of ridiculousness (Pilgrims are rescued by Indians, and share a meal together), doesn't it also have things to recommend it? The paired images of collective suffering and human solidarity; the celebration of fall, the harvest, nature's bounty; expressing appreciation for comfort and company.

This is what most people would say is the meaning of Thanksgiving (Although many of us are probably preoccupied with other questions: Pumpkin or pecan, or both? Where can I get some folding chairs? Should I go back my diet on Friday or Monday?)

Besides, Thanksgiving, like all of the other holidays celebrated in our multicultural, multiracial country, has been transformed over time, and like the country itself, has expanded and embraced new cultures and traditions. Hence the interesting ways to prepare the bird, like jerked turkey. Or that for some people, Thanksgiving isn't complete without macaroni and cheese, for which I'm pretty sure neither Indians nor Pilgrims had the recipe.

And here's another good thing about Thanksgiving: despite the best efforts of marketing and retail companies, it is still relatively un-commercial. You don't have to buy anything (except the food) and you don't have to decorate (ok, maybe some corn on the door, plus housecleaning if you're hosting). And that's a good thing for struggling families. Thanksgiving is an opportunity - in fact, practically an obligation - to get together and enjoy a day off. And for a lot of people, it's a 4-day weekend.

So I say to those who only see the "glass-half-empty" of Thanksgiving and other American traditions: if we can't point to what's positive in our history and culture, people won't hear us when we talk about what's negative.

And if we can't share the pride that working people have in those things, we won't be effective participants in the social movements that have expanded democracy and rewritten our country's history and traditions, and will do so going forward.

Obama Nation/You Can't Be This Stupid Files: President Allowing The Hague To Try U.S. Soldiers?

Let's just hope this is all just a bad, bad, bad joke. But if it isn't, it's quite a travesty that a sitting American President would allow this to happen. But then again, just really how competent are members of The Hague really going to be when it comes to war crime trials in general? Various African tyrants and warlords whom have been sent to The Hague have often used it as their own propaganda platforms to describe how "evil" the West is. Most recenlty fella who has his trial at The Hague includes former Marxist Liberian tyrant Charles Taylor whom has been quite a shill for the Islamo-Marxist/socialist regime in Libya, but doesn't seem to mind detailing any atrocities Gaddafi may have aided him. Instead, he's gone to bash the CIA instead.

CFR File: France Allows The Kremlin To Help Rescue Its Failing Auto Industry?

Well isn't this quite unhealthy here? It seems France's Faux Rightist President Nicolas Sarkozy is happily allowing the Kremlin to come to the rescue of France's own failing industry. How is it that the West can be this stupid into not really caring about the obvious free market solutions to its own economic crisis? Instead of allowing local competitors to compete in the auto industry, the national governments have been promoting that foreign governments should buy out the failing industries.

Nov. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Prime Minister Vladimir Putin will arrive in Paris today aiming to strengthen ties with France by enlisting energy partners, seeking a rescue for the crippled Russian car industry and discussing a pioneering defense accord.

Putin will hold talks on the participation of Electricite de France SA, Europe’s biggest power producer, and GDF Suez SA in Russian pipeline projects, the role of Renault SA in the auto industry and the purchase of a French-made assault ship.

Relations between the two nations have intensified since the election of President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2007. Total SA joined OAO Gazprom’s Arctic Shtokman development and Renault, Europe’s second-biggest carmaker, bought a 25 percent stake in Lada-maker OAO AvtoVAZ. Sarkozy also built on trust developed by his predecessor Jacques Chirac to broker a peace that ended Russia’s five-day war with Georgia in 2008.

“Sarkozy is extremely active, ambitious and businesslike, -- in that sense he’s very close to Putin,” said Fyodor Lukyanov, editor of Russia in Global Affairs magazine. “Both represent countries that want to underscore their status as great nations. At the same time, they’re realistic, even mercantile.”

Putin is scheduled to meet with French counterpart Francois Fillon and Chirac during the two-day visit, Yury Ushakov, the Russian premier’s deputy chief of staff, told reporters yesterday. A meeting with Sarkozy won’t take place as the French leader will be traveling, Ushakov said.

Personal, Commercial

During two terms as Russian president, Putin used personal relations with the leaders of Germany and Italy to develop close commercial ties based on energy.

Former Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder chairs Gazprom’s Nord Stream pipeline under the Baltic Sea; Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is the biggest European backer of the South Stream project under the Black Sea, in which Eni SpA has a 50 percent share. Should GDF become a shareholder in the northern pipeline and EDF take a stake in the southern route, Gazprom will win more allies in realizing the projects.

“The Kremlin uses bilateralization, it’s a very traditional tool for Russian diplomacy,” said Thomas Gomart, director of the Russian Center at the French Institute of International Relations in Paris. “The Russians are using commercial and personal links created by Gazprom with national companies over many years.”

Sarkozy has concluded that Russia is better engaged than isolated, Gomart said.

Cooperation extends beyond energy, with Russia interested in French technology to renew its auto industry and modernize its armed forces.

Cars, Ships

An agreement on Renault’s role in turning AvtoVAZ into a competitive automaker is expected to be signed during Putin’s visit. The Russian government has said it would welcome Renault taking a controlling stake in the company.

Russia is holding consultations on the possible purchase of a Mistral-class helicopter carrier from France, Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov said after meeting his French counterpart Herve Morin in Moscow last month.

The deal would be unprecedented, as Sarkozy has made France a full-fledged member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and Russia has built its own arms since the end of World War II.

Blast From the Past File: Hezbollah Leadership Splits Over Fears Of New Israeli Attacks; Establishing Sentiments For Lebanese Civil War II?

Now here's quite indeed an odd thing that's going on within the PLO-trained Hezbollah terrorist group. The leadership is quite well split on whether or not should they further escalate tensions between Israel, Hezbollah and the Lebanese government. But here's some defining factor here, is the Hezbollah terrorist group trying to drum up sentiment that would implement a second Lebanese Civil War? Ironically, during the first Lebanese Civil War, the terrorist group grew out of the PLO's Force 17 which remained in Lebanon even after PLO forces left the country heading to North Africa. Interestingly enough, Baathist Syria also played a major role in playing both sides.

The Syrian Baathist government first armed the "pro"-Western Lebanese side prior to 1978, but when the Israelis took the "pro"-Western side, the Syrians switched to the more overtly anti-Western/Soviet-backed side. Fast forward all the way to the Cedar Revolution which was supposedly pro-Western orientated rose to power after the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister and open Lebanese Communist Rafik Hariri whom on an ocassion defended the activities of Hezbollah while he was alive. But who was responsible for murdering Rafik? Was it Hezbollah and Syrian operatives ready to instigate sentiment to brew a second Lebanese Civil War? The man who made these charges of how the West carried out the assassination was "former" East German Communist and likely Stasi disinformation operative Jurgen Cain Kulbel whom made unproven charges of how Israel, American and other Western intelligence carried out the assassination, even though it's more likely Rafik KNEW his killers because he was an avowed defender of their activities.

Jurgen's theory has been quite well popularized among Leftist "journalistic" circles in the West, and also by Faux Rightist "New World Order" conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones. How is it that these folks are quite the obvious Useful Idiots here in desiring that the second Civil War in Lebanon, the overtly anti-Western side should win? Or perhaps here with Hezbollah now openly splitting, is it possible for these Force 17 trained terrorists are well prepared to create another phony pro-Western front that'll get Israel and the West trapped in another quagmire war in Lebanon? Here's more on the suspicious divisions among Hezbollah:

Hezbollah leadership split amid fears of fresh IDF attack

By Jack Khoury, Haaretz Correspondent

The commanders of Hezbollah's military wing have leveled blistering criticism at the Shi'ite militant organization's civilian leadership, amid fears of Israel launching a fresh offensive in Lebanon, Lebanese news outlets have reported.

During a conference the group held in recent weeks, a number of bitter disputes broke out over a series of different subjects, ranging from the causes of the Second Lebanon War to more contemporary issues, according to the Lebanese Web site Lebanon Now.

The military wing's commanders accused the group's civilian leaders of not distributing the necessary aid to thousands of refugees displaced during the 2006 conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, Lebanon Now reported.

The criticism reportedly stemmed from a desire in the military wing to avoid such a situation in the event of a new war with Israel.

It was hinted that part of the group's leadership is corrupt, and uses the notion of opposition to Israel to hide its corruption.

According to reports, the commanders requested that officials in the Iran-backed group launch a comprehensive internal investigation, amid fears that a number of areas under Hezbollah's control in southern Lebanon are riven with administrative disorder.

Following the meetings, Hezbollah announced that the group's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, would hold a press conference on Monday, in which he will unveil the organization's new political platform.

Nasrallah is expected to touch upon the militant group's participation in the Lebanese government and state institutions, and possibly the contentious issue of the group's right to arms, Lebanese media reported.

The announcement came after calls in Lebanon for the disarmament of Hezbollah following the Second Lebanon War, which Israel launched in response to a cross-border raid by Hezbollah guerillas in which two Israeli soldiers were kidnapped.

CFR File/Red Terror: Comrade Hugo Affirms His Full Support For PLO Terror Chief Mahmoud Abbas; Abbas Continues To Receive Money From USA

How is it that the West can continue to support a second holocaust against the Jews? In this case, it seems that arch PLO terror chief Mahmoud Abbas has recently visited neo-Communist Venezuela, where a certain Comrade Hugo has openly embraced promoting Communism in the Middle East. How is it that our tax dollars fund the PLO like this? Even when these terrorists still are out to destroy Israel?

Aside from aligning himself with Mahmoud Abbas, Islamo-Nazi of Iran Mahmoud "Iwannajihad" Ahmadinejad has happily joined the two:

Chavez: 'Genocidal' Israel aims to 'exterminate' Palestinians
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
CARACAS, Venezuela

In a meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Friday night, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez accused Israel of aiming to "exterminate" the Palestinians.

Standing beside Abbas at the presidential palace, Chavez saluted the Palestinians for what he called their "fight against the Yankee empire ... against the genocidal state of Israel, which attacks, which kills, which attempts to exterminate the Palestinian people."

Abbas thanked the Chavez government for its support and said: "We're all on the same path."

Chavez made similar remarks on Wednesday, denouncing Israel as "a murderous arm of the Yankee empire" during a visit by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Earlier Friday, the PA president dismissed Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's plan to temporarily halt new construction of West Bank settlements as insufficient, saying Palestinians do not accept Israel's tack in trying to restart peace negotiations.

During his first visit to Venezuela, the PA president said, "We can't accept the current Israeli government's concept for the negotiations."

"We don't have any condition to restarting negotiations except the commitment of the two sides to the foundations of the peace operation according to the road map, and especially stopping the expansionist activities of the Israelis," Abbas told lawmakers, speaking through an interpreter.

He said Wednesday's announcement by Netanyahu of a 10-month halt to new construction in West Bank Jewish settlements "didn't bring anything new because the occupation is going to continue in the West Bank and in Jerusalem."

"The Israeli prime minister had to choose between peace and occupation." Abbas said. "Lamentably, he chose occupation."

Abbas earlier visited Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Paraguay to build support for efforts toward a Palestinian state.

Latin American leaders backed his calls for Israel to halt settlement construction and also to guarantee that future borders are based on 1967 lines. Netanyahu says such matters must be resolved in negotiations.

Chavez has been strengthening ties with Israel's adversaries while trading verbal barbs with President Shimon Peres, who predicted last week in Argentina that the people of Venezuela and Iran will soon get rid of their leaders.

"They won't hold, not because any of us is going to kill them; their own people are getting tired of them," Peres said.

Chavez interpreted that as a threat. "The president of Israel comes here to South America, and he immediately opens fire against us and against me saying I'm going to disappear soon," Chavez told reporters Wednesday. "Well, let's see who disappears first."

Peres spokeswoman Ayelet Frisch has denied the president threatened anyone, saying he meant Venezuelans and Iranians will replace their leaders by democratic means.

Chavez broke diplomatic ties with Israel in January to protest its military offensive in the Gaza Strip. In April, Palestinian officials opened a diplomatic mission in Venezuela, saying it would be a diplomatic hub in South America.

Abbas told Venezuela's National Assembly that the long history of Mideast negotiations has shown in the past that Israel "doesn't want peace." He compared the barrier of walls and fences separating Israel from Palestinian areas to the Berlin Wall.

"The Palestinian people, like the rest of the peoples of the world, want to live free, peacefully, independent," Abbas said. "When is the world going to hear us?"

Chavez has repeatedly condemned Israel as a "genocidal" government, though he has also assured Jews living in Venezuela he wants to maintain good relations with them.

A leading Jewish community group, that Venezuelan Confederation of Israelite Associations, criticized the government's warm reception of Ahmadinejad this week.

An international Jewish rights group, the Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center, demanded on Thursday that the Organization of American States investigate what it called Venezuela's role in promoting terrorism, condemning Chavez's praise of Carlos the Jackal - the imprisoned Venezuelan notorious for a series of Cold War-era bombings, assassinations and hostage dramas.

Chavez lauded Carlos - whose real name is Ilich Ramirez Sanchez - last week as a "revolutionary fighter" who aided the cause of the Palestinians.

Ramirez is serving a life sentence in a French prison for the 1975 murders of two French secret agents and an alleged informant. He also has been linked to the 1976 hijacking of an Air France jet en route to Uganda, as well as bombings in France.

Shimon Samuels, the Simon Wiesenthal Center's director of international relations, called Chavez's remarks "an abominable message" condoning violence. "He prefers to put himself on the side of the murderers," Samuels said.

...this time he thinks the CIA and Secret Service are out to get him. I'm no big fan of the pastor, but I find it a bit odd the CIA and Secret Service has more time on their hands here with this fella, than they did with some folks such as Noam Chomsky whom have made about equal to even more slanderous calls. Not only that, Chomsky and others like him such as Cindy Sheehan support terrorists. Sheehan pals around with white supremacists over at Stormfront.org.
