Jon P and I would like to thank Wolfie for his logo. Please spread the word and blog-roll us. Here’s to a future full of liberty. Comments are off for this post

Caring & Sharing ROPMA watch II

January 11th, 2005 | Category: Politics, ROPMA, Religion, UK Politics

Not only do the rescuers have to deal with nasty conditions and remote areas, we now hear that they have to worry about Islamists attacking them in Indonesia. An offer of a truce does not seem to have moved the terrorists at all.

In Egypt, Mahmoud Bakri is blaming the tsunami on Zionist nuclear testing.

And, of course, those wonderful folks of Al-Muhajiroun are busy ranting against everyone who does not believe like them, including “moderates” like the Muslim Council of Britain. It is impressive that an UPI reporter named Hannah Strange had the courage to expose the vicious bile coming from these people. I appreciate Philip Chaston bringing this to our attention.

Update: Meanwhile in Canada they are going to have a nice anti-Isreal hatefest, sorry that should be Israeli Apartheid Week, at the University of Toronto.

It seems that debating with Muslims in online chat rooms can be dangerous to you and your family’s health.

In London, the CPS is finally looking into the behaviour of this scumbag, when interviewed by the BBC he was mad at the presss for violating his privacy. Meanwhile “our Ken” is using public funds to justify his sucking up to another extremist ROPMA reprobate: Yusuf al-Qaradawi. Harry is following this disgraceful episode as well.

That time of week…

January 11th, 2005 | Category: Blog gos

That most keen of link-fests, the Symphony, is up. The non-evil torchfest is up for this week. Another cool carnival is up, and for once it does not involve cats, its the Carnival of the Dogs. Oh yeah that biggest Carnival of them all is up over at Multiple Mentality.

In ten days there is going to be a 24-hour blogathon to raise funds for the tsunami victims.

Oh yes, one more thing, Liberty Cadre has gone live. There will be a more formal announcement once we get our domain name working tomorrow. The new URL is working.

If you care about Macs; I can recommend having a gander at Flargh’s blog or at the rumour round-up at Think Secret

If you want to engage in some un-PC advertising goodness, then this load of ciggy adverts is rather amusing indeed.

Winds of Change has posted another one of its excellent series of Hatewatch.

The Times Online:

‘The worst reports to come out of the tsunami disaster are surely the claims that many orphaned or lost children are being kidnapped by predators. But is this horror story just too bad to be true? There appears to be little evidence to support warnings of mass child abduction. To me, it looks more as if the West’s own unhealthy obsession with seeing child abuse everywhere is now being projected on to the Asian disaster zone ….’

Mick Hume is an interesting fellow. Formerly the editor of the fiercely iconoclastic Living Marxism, he went on to found the equally heterodox spiked, which is always worth a read for its provocative and well-argued pieces.

He’s come to the same conclusion that I have—that this supposed epidemic of child-snatching in the wake of the tsunami (Is there no official name for it yet?) is largely in the imaginations of radical feminists like Carol Bellamy, the Executive Director of UNICEF, and other government and media busybodies who will exploit any and every tragedy to advance their agendas.

I was watching an interview on CBC of a Sri Lankan family that lost their 10-year-old daughter when the wave crashed into a passenger train, killing at least 800 people. They were convinced that she had been abducted, and you really can’t blame them for holding on to that pitiful hope.

But it’d be unusual indeed for anyone to have lived through that chaos and horror and stagger out with the lust-crazed thought: Hey, this is the perfect time to grab me a child sex-slave.

As Hume points out, it’s just not credible.

Not that any facts matter with a crowd that is at the same intellectual level with the moonbats who natter on about George Bush causing the thing by somehow insulting the Goddess of Gaia.
