For pete's sake. Why forge them, when American officials are so eager to shower the real thing on the "Palestinians"?
"1 million forged US dollars from Gaza reportedly seized in Egypt," from Maan News Agency (thanks to Sr. Soph):
Bethlehem – Ma'an – Egyptian authorities have seized more than a million dollars in forged US currency allegedly produced in the Gaza Strip since the Gaza-Egypt border was toppled by Palestinian fighters two weeks ago, Egyptian sources told Ma'an on Thursday.The sources expect more counterfeit banknotes to be discovered, as hundreds of dollars are being found every day. Egyptian merchants in towns bordering Gaza, such as Al-Arish, Rafah and Sheikh Zwaid have helped investigators by saving counterfeit bills. [...]
However, Egyptian reiterated on Thursday that the border with the Gaza Strip will not again be violated again.
Not again again? Really?
It's all due to that occupation!
If only the Palestinians controlled their "country" or as the Bloods say - "turf", then they could engage in larger criminal schemes and make Gaza a paradise! Or "gangland", which ever comes first.
The counterfeit 'Religion' counterfeiting the 'real' again.
Right, Robert. The border violated again and again and again.
Just like the hundreds of millions around the world enslaved by this 'counterfeit' Religion: violated again and again.
MUSLIMS FOR OBAMA -

To all of you independents and GOP members in states that have not yet held their primaries, I would suggest crossing over and holding your nose to vote for Clinton. It is especially important that burly (non-Obama) males show up at the "caucus groups" in states where the caucus is the method of awarding delegates to prevent the intimidation or group pressure to vote for Obama, the demagogue.
If Obama gets in and leads a democratic surge, there will be an immediate surrender to the mullahs under the guise of pc multiculturalism.

No nothing subtle about that site. The barbarians are at the gates.

wilypagan,
Too late. We've already surrendered to pc multiculturalism. It has many masters besides the mullahs. The entire Democratic Party has been one of its chief promoters.
If Obama gets in it will be because the people chose him. It's the inconvenient thing about living in a democracy. We get the government we deserve.
What makes you think Hillary would be any better? For that matter, I can't see how McCain can be any better. One minute he's a maverick and the next he's a conservative, depending on his audience. (kind of like the jihadists who preach peace to western audiences while their message to their own people is entirely different) There is no "least worst" in this race. Obama is no worse than any of the others.
PMK: Has it occurred to you that Obama is a Muslim palming himself off as a Christian before the eyes of the US public? THAT would make him A LOT worse than Hitlery and most of the 'others.'
Also, your perception of multi-culturism in the USA perhaps isn't taking into account the massive numbers of poorly-educated Hispanics now residing in the US, many of whom are out-and-out Communists and often vote Democratic--and some even convert to Islam. At an LA demonstration for the Communist organization "ANSWER" (ACT NOW TO STOP THE WAR AND END RACISM) a year or two back there were crowds of Latinos carrying banners of Che Guevara. Most likely millions of these ignorant and very misguided people are voting for Obama. Hollywood media 'celebs' with delusions of grandeur are often leading the multi-cultural pack, as it provides them with an easy-to-come-by 'redeemer' fix.
Not many Democrats will support immigration reform legislation. These people would evidently prefer to see the United States self-destruct within a few decades than harm their careers by promoting unpopular legislation. Ronald Reagan himself-- the great "gipper"-- granted amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. I personally will never forgive the man for that (nor presidents Carter or Bill Clitman for that matter).
I doubt America was truly 'multi-cultural' in the sense we see and despise nowadays until the Third Worlders started showing up here en masse as the US had always billed itself a "melting pot." And, by the way, many US businesses and economically upper-strata folk were more than happy to usher all these third worlders in as it meant more cheap labor (while conveniently forgetting about the reality that all that cheap labor was costing them the very foundation and future of their homeland). I think what happened was that Americans were just too apathetic to realize (or face up to the fact) that the rug was slowly being pulled out from under them. 9-11 evidently didn't even wake them up to this either.
Third worlders in general have never cherished democracy and freedom as we do, they have not evolved culturally to the point where this would be possible for them. They are unlikely to evolve to this level while on US soil either. To them, the US lifestyle is something you get for free and antagonize white americans if you haven't gotten it.
In the fatwa Ouamah bin Laden issued against the USA in 1998, he ordered Muslims to plunder Americans' money whenever and wherever they find it. Flooding the global market with counterfeit American currency certainly would be one way to accomplish this and could definitely weaken the US economy. And in fact Washington DC should probably investigate international efforts to flood the world with counterfeit US currency as may be part of the reason the value of the dollar has fallen so low internationally.
Incidentally, the Palestinian Authority had a major currency counterfeiting operation going for many years--this is not the first time I have read about Palestinian complicity in currency counterfeiting.
Other third world nations with ties to Islam ARE also involved in counterfeiting US currency (they include North Korea).
pythagoras,
Illegal immigration is not being addressed in this campaign. The one man who did address it, Tom Tancredo, was ignored by voters. He was also denounced in the press. The chief contenders promote inclusion, "comprehensive immigration reform", universal health care, etc. They seek the union of the US, Mexico and Canada. They seek an end to borders between nations. This goes for Republicans as well as Democrats.
"Not many Democrats will support immigration reform legislation."
What do you consider reform? For many of them, it's amnesty and Democrats definitely will support it. So will Republicans. John McCain was one of its chief backers. His surrogate, Senator Lindsey Graham, called on "bigots to shut up" when McCain-Kennedy was being debated. The Republicans seek cheap labor and the Democrats seek cheap votes, since most of the American middle class is turned off by Democrats. They need to increase their base. What better way than to automatically create twelve million new voters? Add to those twelve million the twenty-plus (some say lots more) that will then come via chain migration and you have a huge Democratic party that will reign over America as it thinks it deserves to.
I share your concern about Obama being a Muslim. I don't understand how his father left him here and went home to Kenya. That aside, you should be worried about the church he attends today. It's not a loving church. It preaches socialism.
When I say Obama is no worse than any of the others, I am looking at the candidates. They all support the same thing: the destruction of the American middle class. We do things that bother them, like prevent Dubai Ports World from taking over American ports. We just don't understand the world today and the global nature of business. We need to be pushed out of the picture so that those who know best can run the country.
The American middle class is not multicultural and so we are considered bigots or xenophobes. Asking immigrants to conform to our laws and to speak our language is a sin in today's world. That's just the way it is.
Thank Ted and Bobby Kennedy for the legislation that came to us in 1965. Nixon let the illegals cross from Mexico without doing anything. So did Ford and Reagan. I'm not quite as angry at Reagan as you seem to be, except for the fact that we were promised 1986 was "one time" and wouldn't happen again. The country swelled with illegals in the 1990s but the good times were rolling and people ignored it.
I look at the slate of candidates and just don't see a dime's worth of difference between them. So McCain was a marine. It means nothing. He's still prepared to sell this country out.
So Obama might be a Muslim. ditto.
So Hillary's a woman. Again, ditto. Remember Hillary with Mrs. Arafat? Hillary of "it takes a village"? What makes her any better than Obama? I just don't see it.
PMK: Romney certainly addressed illegal immigration in his evidently unsuccessful campaign, so did Tancredo. McStupid chose not to, but could have if he wanted to.
As for Obama, no one could be worse before my eyes than someone who lies to the American public about Islam (which teaches first degree murder). Democrats like Hitlery are generally willfully ignorant about Islam--Obama is not; the man is simply deceiving Americans when he tells them they should embrace Islam. (I think THAT is worse and by far). Even the Democrats will have to back away from Islam when they finally dicover its homicidal jihadist components and what it would do to our country fully unleashed. Obama wouldn't because he is almost certainly responsible for some of its current activities as in Kenya right now. Hillary is playing the see-no-evil game (in the 90s even right wingers didn't quite comprehend the depths of Islam's homicidal character) which is sure to backfire on us as it always has.
Of course the Dems won't address illegal immigration because they need the Latino vote to win (they win the election and lose the country-- what an irony). By granting amnesty to illegal aliens fron the third world, Reagan shares some of the blame for this situation.
So, as for Reagan, he deserves the same censure every other politician gets who gave amnesty to illegal aliens. I refuse to cut him any slack on this matter. I will not play favorites with this issue as it is far and away too important.
Just a puny $1 million??
Baby Bush and Cowardeezza Rise keep showering $500 million after $500 million after $ 500 million of real US dollars, our taxpayer dollars on the hate savages.
Still, the "Palestinians" have to counterfit even more.
Ruslan Tokhchukov, EnragedSince1999.
My Cane would still be subjected to pressure from the Conservative end of the Republican Party.
The press has a subtle way of addressing the support Obama receives from the majority of Blacks without the mere mention or suggestion that White Voters may just as likely trend in the same way.
The more conservatively inclined need to apply a great deal of pressure on My Cane. Become his Walker to make sure he doesn't fall down.
A million dollars forged in Gaza?
This is nothing. The big forger of American dollars are Arabs in the Bekaa, under the approving but watchful eye (the Assad regime wants its cut) of Syria:
"For a significant piece of the action, Syria also grants sanctuary to terrorist criminal industries in the Syrian-occupied Bekaa Valley. Vast poppy fields as well as production facilities for illicit drugs and large-scale foreign-currency forgery (especially U.S. dollars) are located throughout the Bekaa."
Congressional committees have investigated this, and the role of both Syria and of Iran in large-scale counterfeiting is well-known.
Why the United States does not flood the world with forged Syrian currency, or still better, find the best artists at this kind of thing and start forging the currency of Iran, and Saudi Arabia, and the U.A.E., is beyond me.
Why this reluctance? Why these Marquess of Queensberry rules, taken to a ludicrious degree? What's holding this and other Infidel countries back, as they engage in measures of self-defense against the permanent war, one not quite understood because its main instruments are the Money Weapon, campaigns of Da'wa, and demographic conquest?
There are many ways of dealing with the Money Weapon.
They include such things as:
1. Higher taxes on gas, rising inexorably, to recapture oligopolistic rents that OPEC benefits from. Had this been done starting in 1973, several trillion of the ten trillion dollars that the Muslim states of OPEC have since received might instead have gone to the oil-consuming nations themselves, and then used to fund energy and conservation programs.
2. Ending the disguised Jizyah of Infidel aid to Muslim lands -- Egypt, Pakistan, Jordan, and others -- and to Muslim entities, such as the "Palestinian" "Authority" (a little like Voltaire's wittiicism about the Holy Roman Empire -- it was neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire -- the "Palestinian Authority" is neither "Palestinian" nor, come to think of it, much of an "Authority"), and urging them instead to go, hat in fellow-member-of-the-Umma hand, to Mr. Big -- Saudi Arabia -- and lesser henchmen along the Gulf's littoral (Kuwait, U.A.E., Qatar, and so on). Either money will be shared by the fabulously rich Arabs or it will not. If not, that will create a rift, and great resentment, among the poorer Arabs and Muslims, who will see that the rich Arabs are perfectly prepared to use the poorer Arabs as cannon fodder in the Jihad (that is essentially the sole function, for the rich Arabs, of the "Palestinian" Arabs, that is what those "Palestinians" are there for).
Or, the rich Arabs will start to dole out money. They will not receive any gratitude, however, but will be the source of envy and resentment that they have not shared still more of the amazing, and quite unmerited, oil wealth they receive. And that can only increase divisions within the camp of Islam. Furthermore, any dollars that the Saudis give to fellow Muslims, for basic needs, to replace former aid from American or European taxpayers, is money that will no longer have available for Saudis to support mosques and madrasas in the West, or to pay for armies of Western hirelings.
3. Charging the Arabs much more for the the goods and services they need. Do they need to rely on the West for medical care? Higher education? For all kinds of technology? They do. Well, charge them for it, and let the sky be the limit. Do Saudi princes need to come to American hospitals? For the mere privilege – even before the bill for services – let them pay a million or two for each visit by a bigshot and his retinue, for the added cost, to the American taxpayers, of “security.” Find ways – be imaginative – to soak them as they should be soaked. Let every encounter of Saudis and the West be one in which the Western side makes out like gangbusters, and the rich Arabs have to pay through the nose.
4. Do the same with arms, and with planes, and every kind of machinery: make them pay an added cost. Call it an oligopolistic rent.
5. Have a large team of investigators – the very best – able to pierce all corporate or ownership veils to see where Arab money is going, what it is buying up, and what are the best means to seize Arab-owned assets should it be felt necessary, as part of the war of self-defense against the Jihad. Enemy-owned assets have been seized in other wars; what is keeping us from doing so here is the failure to understand that some wars are not fought on the battlefield, and also a failure to understand that, having nationalized ARAMCO, there is nothing the Saudis can do to us in retaliation. They’ve done what they can, already. And the same goes for the U.A.E., Kuwait, Qatar, and so on. They are helpless to retaliate against that kind of economic warfare – seizure of assets. And we can do this, if we have the will to do so. The next major attack, or a a series of small attacks, should be used to help push people along to understand aright what they can do, by way of response.
Well this is worse
I remember the zenith of The Summer Of Love, when the Hippie movement was in full efflorescence and I had always assumed that the Hippies were all left wing types. Whenever a Hippie is depicted in the Hollywood movies or contemporary culture they are always shown as ethnic adoring acolytes of Lenin and Trotsky, and the ideology of the Hippies depicted as some form of insipid socialism. Their environmentalism is always secondary to their loyalty to the Liberal Consensus.

The one man who did address it, Tom Tancredo, was ignored by voters.
Pythagoras,
I guess you missed that sentence. Romney addressed it, only after Tancredo made it an issue and I don't believe Romney for one second. His constituency is big on guest worker programs and the like. He would let the illegals stay, just like GWB. Before Tancredo endorsed him, he was all about amnesty. McCain addressed illegal immigration in 2006 and again in 2007 - with Teddy Kennedy and company. Recently he got testy with people asking him about building a fence on the border and used crude language.
Hillary has no business being willfully ignorant about Islam after
- eight years in the White House meeting the Arafats how many times
- watching Billy deal with (not) al qaeda as it attacked Americans throughout the ME
- getting into the Senate and then seeing her constituents bombed out of the workplace on 9/11
- seeing what happened to the Pentagon - she serves on the Armed Services Committee
- seeing what happened in Bali, Madrid, London, etc.
They've come at it from different directions but both Hillary and Obama have been exposed to Islam and all it means. I'm not saying Obama's okay. I am saying if you think you're going to do better by voting for Hillary or McCain or Romney (he's supposedly quitting the race) or Huckabee, think again. I consider them all equally dangerous. Even so, one of them is going to be elected president come November, barring a convention fight. We the people can thank ourselves for this. We're the ones who made them frontrunners.
The bills had two mistakes printed on them:
The Pyramid on the back had a closed eye, and on the front it said "In Allah we trust".
Drat!

They do say "The Devil's in the details"!
Abscedere-
A saying which comes, ironically, from the phrase coined by the great architect Mies Van der Rohe: "God is in the details".
But "Devil" has better alliteration and hijacked the phrase.
Military Equipment should be of the 2nd hand, used Variety. Fixer uppers, needing a little TLC.
PMK:
I still emphatically maintain that Obama is part of a jihad stealth campaign against America and is capable of betraying Americans on a level that would be unimaginable even for the likes of leftist Democrats like John Kerry, Hitlery, or Ted Kennedy (they wouldn't begin to know how to destroy America the way a Muslim might).
Hillary, whatever her numerous and glaring faults may be, is not an evil person. However, now she is so determined to win the presidency that she is willing to play the see-no-evil game about Islam like nearly every other American politician (to tell you the truth, I haven't much use for her either). Obama almost certainly is evil on the other hand (especially given his recent pro-Odinga activities in Kenya and his special relationship with Antoin Rezko who's now in prison for illicit dealings with ME terrorist organizations).
At some level, Hillary WOULD probably defend Americans against jihadist attackers (they would kill her too); I doubt if Obama would especially when he is almost certainly in league with at least some of them.
Not that I care for any of the candidates, mind you--they all suck big-time. But Obama and his Muslim associates have got to go (and "yes, they can").
I was agreeing with you about Tancredo.
The "Palestinians" must be the banished gypsy tribe of the Arab world.
...whatttzza matta....Is Muslim money too hard to counterfeit or is Muslim money just plain too worthless to counterfeit...
....it is apparent that the US Dollar reigns supreme, even in Muslim lands....
