But what do they do about them? Nothing. Tony Blair and the labour party are risking the lives of all in the UK and across the world because they are afraid of someone suggesting they may be racist. It's time we had a leadership strong enough to stand up to critiscism. I never thought I would say it but it looks like the BNP are going to be the only party willing to take the accusation of racism and tell the accusers to bugger off.

We need to get off crude. Well, I recently made a litre of bio diesel and it worked better than diesel. If anyone wants to make biodiesel for vehicles, please contact me for the process. It is a very simple process. We all can make our own fuel. I am now making a lot of 10 litres.

LONDON – Britain's secret intelligence service, MI6, has established the first proof al-Qaida is playing a major role in the new Cold War between North and South America – with Osama bin Laden's terror network seeing itself in league with Mexican subversives in infiltrating the U.S. border.

The evidence emerged as Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez swash-buckled into London after scoring a win in yet another venomous battle with Washington for influence and economic advantage across the Latin American continent.

MI6 analysts have established that the documents are the work of Ayman al-Zawahiri, a founder member of al-Qaida and accepted by Western intelligence services as its prime strategist next to bin Laden.

Al-Zawahiri studied in Paris and London to become a recognized authority in behavioral psychology. After graduating from Cairo University he traveled widely.

An MI6 file confirms a Mossad profile of the heavily bearded psychiatrist – that he is arrogant and takes an obsessive pleasure watching film of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 – when he first emerged from the shadows to sit alongside bin Laden.

Both MI6 and Mossad believe al-Zawahiri made several visits to Latin America during the last decade.

The actual figures will rise and rise and rise, for two reasons.

1) the ability, so often noted here, of recruiters to the military form of Jihad having all the texts on their side. Islam is with them; the Qur'an and hadith are with them; the example of Muhammad, uswa hasana, is with them. There is not a single defender or apologist for Islam who has yet produced even a pamphlet, based on the Qur'an and the authoritative Hadith and the example of Muhammad, that could conceivably convince Muslims to do otherwise. If they do not, it is for all sorts of reasons. Belief that since others are participating actively, they are relieved of the duty of doing so themselves, but can work to spread Islam in other ways (having children, establishing themselves deep within Infidel lands, is also a form of Jihad -- and demographic conquest is discussed openly, and has been for years, at various Muslim sites and even in such large-circulation newspapers as the English-language "Dawn" in Pakistan). Then there are those who do not care one way or the other, but who, by their actions, by their swelling the ranks of Muslms and hence of perceived Muslm power, and in promoting a false view of Islam with their Infidel neighbors, also help to promote Jihad. The only group of Muslims who do not are those who either jettison Islam altoghether, as apostates, or who are not merely nominal Muslims, Muslim-for-identification-purposes-only Muslims, but who are willing to recognize, and admit to Infidels, that there are texts, and tenets, and attitudes, in Islam that are and will remain a threat and menace to all non-Muslims unless those texts are somehow tamed or transformed or deliberately ignored.

2) the counting of many more such people as possible members of terrorist groups, no matter how small, or as individual practitioners of terror. Instead of a neat division between "known Al-Qaeda supporters" (a threat) and "all other Muslims" (no threat) the security services of the Western world will realize that instead there is a continuum, and that some or even many of those not activley in such groups could join, and so could a quiet, unassuming, seemingly otherworldly (to Infidels) Believer who one fine day, for reasons that may have nothing to do with American foriegn policy and everything to do with being fired from a job, or losing a girlfriend, or having your sister behave badly, to "find religion" -- the "religion" in this case being Islam -- with the consequences for Infidels that, by now, we know so well.

This is the melancholy conclusion that inevitably will come, will have to come, to those Infidels in our security services and in the military, entrusted with the duty of protecting us. Pleasing, soothing, denying-of-reality banalities will not do, when lives depend on the truth.

P-I REPORTER

The rise of Iran is an unintended consequence of the war in Iraq, but the United States would be wise to counter the nuclear threat with direct talks instead of saber rattling, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said Tuesday night in Seattle.

"It's not appeasement. You've got to deliver a tough message," she told a sellout audience of 800 people at Town Hall.

But with the U.S. military already "overstretched," she said, "the last thing we need is to invade another country," especially when it is unclear where any nuclear material might be in Iran.

Albright believes that someone high in the Bush administration should give a speech in response to the recent letter sent to the president by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The letter criticizes U.S. foreign policy in a number of areas, including the war in Iraq and backing of Israel.

Though difficult to hear, the issues raised are "not irrelevant," said Albright, who served under President Clinton. "Rather than thinking it's a clash of civilizations, I think we are in a battle of ideas."

i am tired of living in the twilight zone.

Posted by: storagemanager at May 10, 2006 8:43 AM

The "Albright" in question is that former Washington hostess, the lady in whose family, for more than a decade, lived a cousin, a Jewish refugee from Czechoslovakia, without Madeline having any idea that she might be, or be considered, Jewish. This Albright in a television interview once explained that the American government "had no idea" what Saddam Hussein was doing "to his own people" (a phrase that already shows a complete miscomprehension of Iraq), just like the rest of the "international community" (ditto), and that the "Arab leaders I talked to" told me that even they "had no idea what was going on in Iraq." Stare at that last bit. Someone who was Secretary of State, one Madeline Albright, took at face value (for there is no doubt that she was speaking what she believed to be true), tells us that the "Arab leaders" had "no idea" what had been going on in Iraq for decades. With a million Iraqis in exile all over the Arab countries? With constant meetings, at the Arab League and otherwise, with Iraqis? With the ability to read every word that was written, hear all the broadcasts, from Iraq? The Arab leaders had "no idea" what Saddam Hussein "had been doing to his own people."

"They were as much in the dark as we were."

That is Madeline Albright, now the head of the Albright Group (not to be confused with the Cohen Group, of former Defense Secretary Cohen, nor Kissinger Associates, nor... well, name your high official, with those "contacts," recognize the trading on that stock--in-trade with foreign governments).

Our leaders. Our experts. If you can stand them.

Question;

Why are "We the People" taking anything serious from anyone that was in the "Rapist in Chief's" administration? Especially Madeline Albright? This previous administration is the main reason that the September 11th, 2001 attacks were made possible.

Hugh, great effort, but when does jihad watch get onto the ground, how long will it have to stay in the very highly influential internet though limited in its reach at the prestn..
Lets be proactive,I am an Indian, but wish Britian remains for the British, France for the French, Germany for the Germans, India for Hindus, and a little amount of other cultures peacefull(like Buddhism, Chinese,Hindus) will be ok in any country..
When will the jihad watch, faithfreedom.org..and a host of other truth pursuers arm the BNP, and the so called right wing parties( which are turely for the native culture of the Land) about the evils of Islam..and assisting them with possible policies to counter this threat...
The Civilized World need to be united, simply becoz of the fact as the World is becoming incereasingly interconnected, making ur country alone safe will only extend the period of safety, for ur country and ignoring other countries will certainly haunt with external agression...
Think of it...Even if Britian does curb its Mulsim population and doesnt support France in various international forums to curb its Muslim Population, with increased Muslim Population in France and a final take over of France, think what a calamity would await Britian, and other European Nations...
And under ther guise of Human rights, if u nail such nations as India and China, think about of the scenario of a Muslim India.. India has the Technology, Space, Intercontinental Missiles(will be fruitfull in a year or two), and nuclear weapons..think, it will be menace to the World and to curb Muslim India will be not as easy as going to war with Iran or Iraq...
India becoming a muslim country will outweigh any super power think about it the nations from the North Africa to South East in one Stretch, The Muslim Ummah will have the true capacity to decalre war for the ultimate battle to Islamise the World as they first did in 10th century conquering Europe...What will reamin afterwards will be Total Destruction
If West thinks by Balkanising India, it would benefit the West by weakening the Muslim Ummah, it is false..Muslims are united for their cause to spread Islam to the entire WOrld..So it will be naive to think that way..
So, it is in the interest of the World and in the interst of the West to stop being Politically Correct and use their clout to start effecting social engineering of their own nations and in the nations like India for the stability of their societies..for the benefit of Humanity
And to the Christians, Hugh, If this hurts please do not bother...Christians of India are following the same path as Muslims are doing in the West, they are breeding as good as the Muslims.. and dont say that atleast they are not Bombing like Jihadis...
The problem of the Indian state of Nagaland is the same, the Chrisitians are fighting for a Chritian Republic of Nagaland...
Now tell me How can we the Hindus and Christians will unite..when the Christians themselves are undermining the integrity of India...
I know that many Christians of the West are good and not like those in India, who are becoming whims in the hands of Catholic and various denominations of Churches to mobilise Political power....
The ultimate winner in the next century will be the country whcih reads facts aas facts and truth as truth and doesnt fall inn PC'ness..by my analysis China is the one

Chomsky:

Iran's Resistance to US Policies Underlying Washington's Hostility to Tehran

TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- Prominent American thinker Noam Chomsky said Washington's pressures on countries like Iran take place because Tehran has defied the US policies.

The above-mentioned sentence by Noam Chomsky at the American University of Beirut drew applause from the audience. Chomsky, who has become one of the critics of the US foreign policy since the Vietnam War said, "Countries like Iran and Syria are facing different pressures for their successful disobedience with US demands and its non-compliance with Washington's dictates."

The dissident American academic also accused Washington of using economic pressures to force nations to confront their disobeying governments.

Chomsky noted, "The United States has always gone to war with popular and parliamentary governments with the slogans of establishing democracy and has replaced them with suppressive and oppressive governments."

He cited Iran, Guatemala, Brazil, Chile and other countries as the instances of such a US policy.

The old geometry of infestation says that where you spot one rat, there are 1000 more in tunnels.

Humans beings are far more cunning than rodents, and deserve an exponential increase in the numbers.

For the 700 "known" jihadis, say 700,000 unknown.

The rest of the Ummah are just lazy machiavellians (and their female psychic punching bags) who will lap up any side's winning gravy.

Best of luck with those loyalty oaths, land of the Bard.

If Britain has 700 , I can only imagine how many we have in America. It's imperative we get people in these mosques to listen to what they're doing and saying . I'm not so sure if they are found to be planning something that deporting them would be useful. They would just shift jihad from one place to another. They would need to be locked up. Are our leaders not feeling the urgency in this?

All of which makes the special dispensation allowing Moslems in dar al Harb to practice polygamy that much more dangerous. Fast-breed only for the Islam-creed; Moslems the Equal Protection Clause we must not pay heed.

All the more the reason to dispense with the words war and terror.

Let’s call a spade a spade here, and go with the title The Jihad War; in other words, we’re not fighting a War On Terror (or, World War III as our President ridiculously asserted) but a defensive struggle against Islam’s mujahideen of the greater jihad.

700 Alqaida operatives in Britain? Goddam, if each one blew up ten hotels, and every hotel bomb "only" killed 25 people, that would be... over 150,000 casualties. And if the timers are set correctly, it could all happen in one minute.

It would interesting to recall that in the early days after 9-11 we "rounded up" about 600 Muslim men for questioning... what the MSM forgets to remind us is that they COULD'T FIND another 2,000.

AND I have read here and elsewhere that it is a statistical certainty that thousands of Muslims have entered America as illegal aliens through Mexico.

So much for "fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here" or whatever the byline was for the Iraq Quagmire (it would more appropriately be called "The War To Support Bush's Re-election.") At least in that aspect, it was a "success."

This kind of makes me wonder when the shit is REALLY going to hit the fan. Think about it people.... how hard would it be to send 100 men to the 100 biggest cities in America and tell them to set as many bombs in as many hotels as possible, set their timers for a certain date and time? How hard would it be?

I predict that there is a MAJOR operation being planned for us right now. And when it happens, you're not going to be able to blame this one on Clinton. Unless it's right after Hillary takes office.

THAT will be the wakeup call for the sleeping giant.

The Indian security forces shot down a wanted terrorist in the state of Kashmir. He was wanted for a blast in a temple at Varanasi. This happened yesterday morning. Yesterday evening there was a 'holy lecture' at a mosque near my house, and the lecturer exhorted the muslims to unite and to serve. No mention was made of the terrorist, but the link is obvious. This is the second such lecture in this mosque since I started living here. The muslim men are now distinguishable by their beards,skull caps,and sack clothes. They have all caught on to rabid wahabism in the past 9 years. I am afraid now. One fine day, they will riot. They almost did at the time of cartoons, my city has more than 50000 muslims. They will attack the Hindus again. As they have done so for the past millenia.

Khatami:

National Interests only Prerequisite for Negotiation with US

TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- Former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami Wednesday stressed that national interests constitute the only prerequisite for attending negotiations with the US.

Khatami stressed that negotiations should not be regarded as a taboo, adding, "The strategy of such negotiations, of course, should not be imposed on us."

Asked about President Ahmadinejad's letter to Bush, he said that he was not informed of the motives behind the measure and refrained from expressing his views.

Elaborating on a similar measure he adopted during his term, the former Iranian President mentioned the negative perception and view of the world and US public opinion about Iran as the underlying reason for his interview with CNN's Christian Amanpour in 1998, saying that he sought to change the outside look towards Iran, in which he succeeded.

"The straightforward confessions of the then US Secretary of State Madeline Albright, who admitted her country's wrong policies in the face of Iran in the past 50 years, coupled with her apology and Clinton's regret over US policies on Iran, which were followed by modified US stances towards Iran are clear indications of the success of that interview," he reiterated.

The growing popularity of the BNP in Britain is very much down to the Islamic Jihad situation, yet the media, government and muslims all like to cry that the BNP are racists. Well the more they grow, the less of them would be racists, so we can say the racists in the BNP are only a "tiny minority"

The work of Hizb ut-Tahrir is to carry the Islamic da’wah in order to change the situation of the corrupt society so that it is transformed into an Islamic society. It aims to do this by firstly changing the society’s existing thoughts to Islamic thoughts so that such thoughts become the public opinion among the people, who are then driven to implement and act upon them. Secondly the Party works to change the emotions in the society until they become Islamic emotions that accept only that which pleases Allah (swt) and rebel against and detest anything which angers Allah (swt). Finally, the Party works to change the relationships in the society until they become Islamic relationships which proceed in accordance with the laws and solutions of Islam. These actions which the Party performs are political actions, since they relate to the affairs of the people in accordance with the Shari’ah rules and solutions, and politics in Islam is looking after the affairs of the people, either in opinion or in execution or both, according to the laws and solutions of Islam.

Posted by: storagemanager at May 10, 2006 12:36 PM

alert the press,time to talk to our friends.....So all the work of the Party is political, whether it is in office or not. Its work is not educational, as it is not a school, nor is its work concerned with giving sermons and preaching. Rather its work is political, in which the thoughts and laws of Islam are presented in order to act upon them and to carry them so as to establish them in life’s affairs and in the State.

The Party conveys the da’wah for Islam so that it is implemented, and so that its ‘aqeedah becomes the foundation of the State and the foundation of its constitution and canons. This is because the Islamic ‘aqeedah is a rational creed and it is a political doctrine from which originates a system that deals with all of man’s problems, whether they are political, economic, cultural, social or any other issue for that matter.

Take a look at those countries favoured by Albright& others of her ilk all linked to Oil & Weapons companies- that 'fat Jewess' as described by grateful Saudi Princes who ridiculed Madam Secretary behind her back whilst were all smiles for her NEVER ASKING AWKWARD QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LACK OF HUMAN RIGHTS,THE TORTURE,BEHEADINGS, KILLING AND OPPRESSION OF WOMEN IN LOVELY DEMOCRATIC SAUDI ARABIA.

"That is Madeline Albright, now the head of the Albright Group (not to be confused with the Cohen Group...."

Nor should it be confused with the All-Bright Group.

How is it that Madeline forgot her Jewish roots?, did she ever wonder why her family fled Nazi Europe to go to the USA?

Not everyone forgot that flight to freedom though. I remember hearing a Serbian man who was dismayed at the destruction of his town, which was bombed by the US during the NATO - Serbian war. He looked at the ruins in disbelief and wondered why Madeline Albright had chosen his town for demolition, as that was the town which sheltered Madeline and her family during their escape from the Nazis and the ovens of Birkenau.

Strange way to repay a kindness.

If my recollection of events is wrong, put it down to MMM (Madeline Memory Malady).
