So while I’m playing around with it and trying to capture better pictures of the birds in my area, take a look at this guy’s photographs. He uses a Canon Rebel.

Steady progress is being made on the construction of the mosque down the street.

I posted about it previously here.

What’s interesting now are the signs warning people that it’s a construction site.

Huge piles of dirt, a giant dumpster, trucks, 2×4’s and a huge foundation don’t give us any clues, now do they?

They have to make sure they post big signs on the surrounding fencing.

I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen fencing like this around a construction site before; it strikes me as a little bit paranoid.

I’ve only seen that type of warning on construction sites downtown, where pedestrians could get hurt by potential falling debris.

This cartoon should have Larry Sinclair on there -on the end.

You can’t even vote in the polls twice.

Statcounter logs unique visitors, returning visitors, first time visitors, etc.-and guess what those 2 million plus visitors are?

Sure, he’s kept a running total from the sites that the Obamablognuts have been able to shut down. So what? The bottom line is-the Obamablognuts are objecting to the fact that he’s still online!

Despite the fact that google only brings up the old wordpress blog that was deleted….people are typing in the actual address to get to his site.

I think one of the reasons why it’s so popular is people know there is no bull over there; unlike the MSM…

DC Court Asked to Act Upon Obama Supporter Threats

U S District Court for the District of Columbia asked to issue ORDER in compliance with Federal Crime Victims Act sought.

Barack Obama internet warriors upset that their acts of threats and intimidation are subject to U S Law and are now screaming to be excused from accountability.

Well isn’t that typical of them.

Prison time for email threats
By Courtney Macavinta

That’s what Oswaldo and the rest of the people who are issuing death threats should get. No allowances, no excuses, and no comments like ‘you’re still alive, so…I didn’t mean it’ BS.

Anything happens to Larry Sinclair, these people should be held responsible; even if he dies from natural causes, as Oswaldo himself said.

Apparently the handgun that was found in his luggage doesn’t even fire; it’s a prop. Charges will be dropped against him, supposedly, when they verify that this is true.

Rally this Saturday: Stop the crescent mosque!

Tom Burnett Sr. and Alec Rawls will be in Somerset PA this weekend to condemn the crescent/broken-circle memorial to Flight 93. Here is Alec’s notice about the press conference that he and Mr. Burnett will host after they speak at the public meeting of the Memorial Project Saturday morning:

…Also on the press conference panel will be Diane Gramley, President of the American Family Association of Pennsylvania, and the Reverend Ron McRae of Johnstown.

In addition to our own statements, Mr. Burnett will read a statement from Congressman John Kline (R-MN), and Alec Rawls will present statements from Rich Davis, founder of the Chester County Victory Movement, and from the president of Muslims Against Sharia Law.

After answering questions for the press, Mr. Burnett and his co-panelists will host a rally to stop the re-hijacking of Flight 93. Members of our informal Western Pennsylvania Compatriots group (who spoke out at the last public meeting) will be in attendance, and some out of town folks will be coming as well.

And check this out: a big color ad in the local paper:

To inform and invite the local populace, a half-page full-color ad will be running in tomorrow’s edition of the Somerset Daily American. It explains how the original Crescent of Embrace design remains completely intact in the Circle of Embrace redesign, which is explicitly described by the Park Service itself as a “broken” circle. That is exactly how architect Paul Murdoch described his original Crescent design.

All the redesign does is include an extra arc of trees that explicitly represents a broken off part of the circle. The unbroken part of the circle (the crescent), remains exactly as it was. It is still a giant Islamic shaped crescent, still pointing to Mecca , as your colleague Kirk Swauger verified a year ago:

Rawls maintains that the midpoint between the tips of the crescent points almost precisely toward “qibla,” the direction to Mecca, which Muslims are supposed to face for prayer.

His claims seem to be backed up by coordinates for the direction of qibla from Somerset that can be found on Islam.com. When superimposed over the crescent in the memorial design, the midpoint points over the Arctic Circle, through Europe toward Mecca.

Except for Kirk’s verification of the Mecca orientation of the crescent (which was not picked up by any other news organization), reporters have not been bothering to check the facts. When our claim that there are to be 44 inscribed translucent blocks emplaced along the flight path was reported a few months ago, Gordon Felt, President of Families of Flight 93 was quoted denying it, but despite this clear conflict of factual claims, no reporter bothered to simply open up the design drawings and count.

Can reporters actually be shamed into doing their jobs? Doubtful. They seem to regard actually checking the facts as giving some kind of unfair advantage to the side that is right (which they would be happy do do if the right side was THEIR side).

When the press is in this anti-fact-checking mode, their methodology is just to quote each side. We are trying to take advantage of this behavior by having some of our independent supporters use source documents to fact-check our basic claims, then attest in press releases and at the public meeting that they have personally counted the translucent memorial blocks etcetera.

Co-panelist Diane Gramley will be making such declarations for the cameras. Cao (the organizer of these blogbursts) did some checking from source documents this week and has already posted a powerful press release about her findings that Alec will present at the press conference.

Tom Burnett’s attendance should bring national news coverage. If Tom and Alec can direct some of that coverage to our independent fact checking, it might break the media embargo on fact checking, and once we get the Mecca orientation of the giant crescent out as verified national news, the crescent goose will be cooked.

If you want to participate in our fact-checking drive, Alec has a set of fact checking guides, with links to source documents, at CrescentOfBetrayal.com. Just send him a link to the post or comment in which you attest to your fact-checking results, and he will compile them.

We don’t have one set of rules for Obamamaniacs and another for everyone else. There is one law; one set of rules, and if you break them, you break them. Period.

So what is this dichotomey we have between Larry Sinclair who brings up allegations about days in November 1999 and a sexual and drug encounter with Barack Obama, and Obama’s acolytes? Let’s review.

Sinclair comes out on youtube in January of 08 after having attempted to get through to Obama’s campaign since September of 07. After that there has been a virtual onslaught of attack on Sinclair, and Sinclair’s growing support base. Sinclair sounds like a lawyer when he’s questioning people such as Neon aka James Barry, who is hiding behind a psuedonym like the rest of the Obama lemming legions. What is different about their approach is - going to the trouble of hacking onto websites in order to find the email addresses of supporters, then posting that list in order to encourage people to go out on the web and dig up information on those people.

Sinclair brought on a DC court case in federal court against three of the bloggers who had been spreading malicious lies about him; and Public Citizen came to the rescue. Interesting, isn’t it, how Public Citizen is a Ralph Nader litigation group designed to protect citizens against corporations. Yet in this scenario, John Levy is representing three bloggers (who had already put their information out there on the web) and is protecting their identities from being revealed in court-from Larry Sinclair, a single dying gay man living in Minnesota.

They claim they have a right to anonymity, but again we have our two Americas. The attackers; the hackers; the malicious internet warriors have the right to THEIR anonymity, but those who are under attack by these malicious assailants need to stand still and take their punishment!

Larry Sinclair’s supporters have done nothing but position Sinclair so he is able to fight the battles that have cropped up in response to his bringing allegations of homosexual sex and drug use in the back of a limo in 1999 with Barack Obama to the public.

After not having heard from the Obama campaign, but receiving phone calls instead from Donald Young - Sinclair eventually came to the conclusion that Young had also been involved to some degree sexually with Obama. Gay people talk. And it’s been long known in gay circles that Obama is on the down low, that’s not a new revelation. What was new was in December of 2007, when Young sent Sinclair a text message, saying that he was only milking Sinclair for information, and that Obama never intended to admit to his drug use or anything else. And then Sinclair learned of Donald Young’s murder.

So it is little wonder that Sinclair came out in January of 2008. A lot had transpired between January 2008 and the months previous that magnified his desire to get this in front of the American people; particularly because Obama and Axelrod refused to even return a phone call.

It’s also not new that the media would go to great lengths to ignore this story, even now, as it develops into a freight train crashing down the tracks on its way to ripping away some of Obama’s god-like mystique as the lightgiver; allowing people to see him as he truly is.

“A light will shine down on you and you will suddenly realize…”

Turkeys! You’ve been had.

There is only a $1,000 reward for information leading to the apprehension of Donald Young’s killer. You might conclude from that that nobody is interested in finding out what happened there, despite the fact that he was shot execution style and died of multiple gunshot wounds. That $1,000 is in stark contrast to the lavish homes that both Wright and Obama live in, and the lifestyle to which they’ve become accustomed. You would think that Donald Young’s contribution to the church would have meant more than that. You would think that they would both be out there clamoring for an investigation, and for the killer to be brought to justice.

Although…maybe not. Maybe Obama is one of the leftists who’s been clamoring for lighter sentences for drug dealers and criminals of other stripes.

I think it’s great that Sinclair has a new site up. I think it’s great that he’s getting it ironclad so the Obamanazis can’t find a hole to steal information about commenters, etc. Rock on, Larry, and in the words of Citizen Wells: Stay safe.

Press Release
July 30, 2008

I am the organizer of the Stop the Memorial Blogburst, which is simultaneously posted by the evergrowing numbers of bloggers that participate every week.

Here are the bloggers who are participating as of this writing:

Over 90 different bloggers are posting our exposes on the Flight 93 Memorial every week. Google the title of any of our blogbursts and you will find 3 to 6 full pages of links.

(Actually 7 this week, but many of the links disappear from the listings over time.)

The blogbursts have been written mostly by Alec Rawls, the author of “Crescent of Betrayal“, and blogger at Error Theory. Each and every blogburst is not only thoroughly documented, they contain links to source documents, and many of our blogburst participants are inveterate fact-checkers who will follow the links and make sure that the information is sound.

Starting from the source documents, I have personally verified several of the most damning factual claims about the crescent design.

1. I verified that the giant crescent in the original Crescent of Embrace design points to Mecca. This is how I did it: I entered the latitude and longitude of the crash site into the Muslim prayer-direction calculator at qibla.com. Then, I printed out the resulting Mecca direction graphic, placed it over the site plan on my computer screen, and observed that the qibla line split the crescent almost exactly down the middle, with one crescent arm on each side.

2. I personally verified that a crescent that Muslims face into in order to face Mecca is called a mihrab, and is a key mosque feature. It’s easy to do that; Google the Prophet’s mihrab in Medina, or the mihrab of the Great Mosque in Cordoba Spain. These two famous mihrabs are both crescents that Muslims face into to face Mecca. Geometrically, the Crescent of Embrace is an equivalent structure.

3. I verified that there are 44 translucent memorial blocks along the flight path. I opened up the design drawings and counted them! The Sacred Ground design page shows 43 translucent marble blocks, built into the memorial walls that follow the flight path down to the point of impact. The Entry Portal design page shows another translucent panel at the upper tip, where the flight path symbolically “breaks the circle.” It is the huge glass panel that dedicates the entire site.

More facts that are easily verified can be found at the Proof of Betrayal page at www.CrescentOfBetrayal.com.

This design should be scrapped because it violates the single requirement that the park service had on this design; to leave the landscape untouched. There is a plan in place to DRAIN THE WETLANDS to accommodate this design. No other entry in the design competition did this.

The public law for the Flight 93 Memorial excludes the terrorists from the definition of passengers and crew; and are not to be honored.

These are just a few of the reasons why another design should be chosen to honor our heroes.

Miftah wrote an op-ed in the Tulsa World (you can read it here) about how Islam should condemn Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri, and his mosque kicked him out–and assaulted him, and branded him an apostate “traitor to Islam”, effectively inviting jihadi violence against him

Moderate muslims like Muslims Against Sharia - should be supported for taking a stand against terrorism, considering how they are ostracized by the jihadist community and condemned as traitors to Islam.

Elaine Donnelly apparently went through some pretty amazing abuse and had to withstand a barage of insults at this hearing on gays in the military this past Wednesday, July 23. It was a hearing of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Personnel, chaired by liberal Congresswoman Susan Davis (D-CA). The topic was “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” the problematic policy regarding homosexuals in the military, which was imposed on the military by then-President Bill Clinton. (ED) What is disgusting is how the Republicans did nothing to support her efforts, or that of her associate, Brian Jones, retired Sergeant Major of the US Army’s elite Delta Force.

Tommy Sears at the Tank:

The object of the hearing was to demonize as morally repugnant (bigoted, homophobic, or worse) anyone who dared disagree with the Democrats’ and homosexual activists’ point of view. It was a replay of the treatment received by the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Gen. Peter Pace. Sadly, Republicans were unprepared to respond in their statements or questions. The lack of apparent support for our position made it possible for the Democrats to be brutal, and matters were made worse by AWOL Republicans.

ED:

Throughout the hearing, none of the opposing witnesses or members showed a single reason why repeal of this law would improve military readiness, morale, and discipline. It was all “hearts and flowers,” focusing on the individual stories of opposing witnesses, rather than the needs of the military.

Tommy Sears at the Tank:

The irony is that the pre-judgments about Elaine and Sgt. Maj. Jones proved her point. If the law is repealed, when people are subjected to passive/aggressive behavior that sexualizes the intimate no-privacy atmosphere, especially in close combat units and submarines, their motives will be questioned. Unlike women complaining of harassment, the presumption will be bigotry, homophobia, or worse (again, the defamation of General Pace last year shows the pattern of serial demagoguery here). So no one will complain. They will just leave — or avoid the military in the first place. As a result, the military will lose thousands of good people.

This is not looking very good, considering that Delaware is not so far away.

They can’t stand the heat, so they chased Larry out of the kitchen!

Free speech is only protected when it’s in defense of the Obamessiah.

All the exposure the Obama bloggers got that was unfavorable to them and their candidate in addition to a law firm connected with the telecommunications industry and the very telephone company that has said they couldn’t produce Larry’s phone records - when indeed they gave those records to the Chicago PD- has now gone down the internet’s rabbit hole.

A rabbit hole created by Obama’s minions.

Update: Sinclair is back up

Really slick flash presentation in the beginning, too, LOL

From the Telegraph

A third of Muslim students in Britain believe killing someone in the name of religion is justified, a new poll claims.

Someone should take that poll at American Universities; I’d be interested in those findings.

Foxreno.com

OAKLAND — During a press conference Sunday, prominent civil rights attorney John Burris called for a criminal investigation into the fatal shooting of an unarmed man by the Oakland Police Department.
Burris represents the family of 27-year-old Jody Woodfox, who died early Friday after being shot by police. The family says Oakland police acted with unreasonable force by shooting the unarmed father of two after stopping his car in the 1700 block of Fruitvale Avenue. The family plans to sue the City of Oakland.
Police say the officers involved believed Woodfox was reaching for a gun before they shot him three times in the chest.

“They didn’t have no reason to shoot him. He was not armed or nothing. He got out the car with his hands up. When he got out the car, they started shooting. And then he started running,” said Shamika Steele, who was in the car with Woodfox. “Given that the crime- at best- may’ve been a stop for a traffic violation, there was nothing about his conduct that would justify the use of deadly force.”

Apparently this guy didn’t listen to Chris Rock’s rules: How Not to Get Your Ass Kicked by the Police

“And then he started running….”

…it becomes truth.

Not where Obama is concerned. The image comes courtesy of Moonbattery and And Rightly So! And if you have a little time, jump into the discussion at Raven’s, which includes a little socialist sarcasm and stupidity from meatbrain and a few of - what appear to be his knuckledragging friends.

Apparently Obama’s trip to the Middle East has backfired in a serious way, because it has drawn the media’s attention back to Iraq, and now a few articles have slipped by which have actually come out and announced that we’re winning in Iraq; that we’ve won against Al Qaeda, etc.

What an embarrassment for Obama, who’s been touting that anti-war message, and for the Code Pink-o’s and meatbrains of the world who hate war at any cost, and would rather live under sharia law!

Moonbattery (”Obama’s Own Media Spectacle Gives the Lie to His Defeatist Rhetoric” and Ray Robison:

Coinciding with the “Obama goes to Iraq” coverage comes a poll update by Rasmussen and released on July 23rd. And it shows that a very interesting thing happened last Monday. The number of respondents in this reoccurring poll who answered that we are winning against terrorists jumped to levels not seen in four years, to 51% — now a majority. Conversely, the number who considered al Qaeda and their ilk the victors dropped to a threadbare 16% of respondents, a new low by a wide margin. And it just so happened that this poll was conducted the same day that Obama and his media entourage hit Baghdad.

Although it is not definitive, it is a strong indication that all the media hype and attention on this trip refocused the media lens on Iraq and that Americans saw a new picture there. […] They thought that Obama was delivering the straight truth to them on Iraq. But now they know he was being less than candid. The Independents and conservative Democrats now might see that he was not telling them the truth.

AGAIN?? We need a calculator to count the lies told by Obama now, LOL

I saw this at Chickenhawk Express and then again at Moonbattery.

What really gets me about this ‘impeach Bush’ thing - is that Congress voted for the Iraq Invasion.

And it was set up before Bush even came into office by Clinton and Gore - with their Iraqi Liberation Act of 1998.

If Bush is guilty of following through on that, then Clinton, Gore and the rest are guilty of setting it up.

See Why We Went to War in Iraq

CBS2 reports on the ‘take’ that this year’s ‘turn in your gun’ drive garnered.

CHICAGO (AP) Chicago police say they received about 6,800 firearms during the city’s annual gun turn-in program.

The program is in its fourth year and has brought in a total of more than 11,000 illegal guns, but authorities say more guns were collected during Saturday’s than last year but the number fell short of the goal set by Police Superintentdent Jody Weis (WEES).

Illegal guns? I guess there are no consequences to these criminals, as long as they turn in their weapons and promise they’ll never do it again.

Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley’s office said 6,700 guns were collected last year, and Weis had said this year’s goal was to collect twice as many.

Participants received prepaid $100 debit cards for real weapons and $10 cards for BB guns, air guns and replica guns.

So the criminals get $100 debit cards for real guns, even if they are illegal.

Enough people came out that organizers ran out of the $100 prepaid cards. Organizers said those participants would receive rain checks for the money.

Information from: Chicago Tribune, http://www.chicagotribune.com

Better luck next year! And make sure you steal enough money from the taxpayers so you can keep those debit cards flowing to the gangbangers who turn in the illegal weapons that aren’t fashionable anymore.

We’ll never know how many illegal firearms there are out there…it’s just frightening that they have this drive for people to turn in their weapons as if Chicago is the Emerald City or something. Face it; there are dangerous neighborhoods, dangerous people, and people who don’t pay attention to the law that have guns.

Knowing that, would I rather have a weapon…or not have a weapon?

Bottom line: I’d rather have a weapon so I can have the chance of saving myself or my loved ones.

Come to think of it…we haven’t been to the shooting range in a while.

”You had these opportunities, America. You didn’t do anything,” FBI agent George Crouch Jr. testified Friday at Salim Hamdan’s war crimes trial.

The United States could have killed bin Laden in Khartoum, Sudan, before he moved to Afghanistan in 1996, Hamdan told his interrogators. They could have killed him after al Qaida’s 1998 twin bombings at the U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. Or after the October 2000 suicide bombing of the USS Cole, at the port of Aden in Yemen, which left 17 U.S. sailors dead.

Instead, ”Bin Laden was emboldened.” So he struck with the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, leaving nearly 3,000 dead.

It is bitter irony that lawyers are conveying such through a trial. Remote controlled Tomahawks, the illusion of safety beyond the sanctuary of oceans, and the hot pursuit via attorneys and law both remote and unrecognized by murderous men who seek our death. This was how we convinced ourselves of our certain and active defense.

We were offered bin Laden in transit from Sudan to Afghanistan. But we did not want him. Our lawyers had no battle, our leaders no mettle.

Most of us, though not all, have learned nothing. After thousands smote and seven years of war, we are back to our superior ways, demanding Habeas Corpus and noting in the very first trial that bin Laden’s deputy was read no Miranda rights upon his capture - or was it arrest?

They say History repeats itself. Never before has it applied so swiftly, within the same generation and within the same conflict.

A selfish society incapable of sacrifice is equally incapable of self-defense. Our greatest concern is not the pursuit of madmen or the states which feed them. It is not even the cost of oil and its affect on our economy and future. It is the cost of the gasoline that cycles through our tanks and its affect on our personal checking account balances.

Cowardice, cloaked in arrogance and concealed behind self-assured brilliance, charts a troubled path; one which appears circular, where constant motion deceptively passes for progress. Progress towards what, we disagree, though our enemies do not, as they laugh.

Many say it will take another catastrophic attack to bring us to our collective senses. But it will likely not come. For, if al-Qaeda (et al) is smart - and they are - they will leave us alone on our own soil while we rip ourselves apart. No explosives, no bombs, no weapons of war required. We are, after all, suddenly and finally waging their centuries-long war upon ourselves. Brilliantly.

We allow ourselves to be told that we are what is wrong with the world; torturous, greedy, destructive, with disregard for the poorest and bitter intolerance for anyone not like us. We Balkanize our society and point fingers at each other, laying these same charges against one domestic group or another with the venom and aggression once reserved for distant, oppressive enemies.

Can we awaken from our own self-destructive slumber? The decisive war is not in Iraq, nor Afghanistan, nor Pakistan or any other distant place where we perceive our enemies to be. The decisive battle is right here, from Maine to San Diego, from St. Louis to Atlanta.

If we are incapable of rediscovering that which Constitutes us and what distinguishes America form every other nation on this planet, and acknowledging that America, her people, our liberty and our unequaled charity are indeed good and our values just, then what does Iraq or Afghanistan matter?

Can we truly identify that which we are defending? For if we cannot, we are not. We are simply preserving soil and borders, protecting cities and people - that which can be found anywhere else on this planet.

What will America be, what will she look like when our children are thrust at the helm? Will they write that we defended her, or will they write that we devoured and discarded her? This, not al-Qaeda or the War on Terror, keeps me up at night.

For we can defeat al-Qaeda and yet have defended nothing at all in the long, painful process. And our children will be compelled to write of us, ”You had these opportunities, America. You didn’t do anything.”
