Dear reader,
I was going to write someting about the planned NYC Mosque where visitors could look down on the WTC rubble from the 13th floor with glee. I was going to say something about how no church can be built in NY or any other city unless the City Planning Board approves. I was going to say that even today, Japanese people are not welcome at the Pearl Harbor Memorial in Hawaii, even if they are US citizens. This desite the fact the attack claimed fewer lives than was taken at the WTC. And then I read this.

This is the most clearly stated, sensible, and historically accurate statement that I've read on this issue (and I've read a lot of them).

Statement on the Proposed "Cordoba House" Mosque near Ground Zero

July 21, 2010 6pm
There should be no mosque near Ground Zero in New York so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia. The time for double standards that allow Islamists to behave aggressively toward us while they demand our weakness and submission is over.

The proposed "Cordoba House" overlooking the World Trade Center site  - where a group of jihadists killed over 3000 Americans and destroyed one of our most famous landmarks - is a test of the timidity, passivity and historic ignorance of American elites. For example, most of them don't understand that "Cordoba House" is a deliberately insulting term. It refers to Cordoba, Spain, the capital of Muslim conquerors who symbolized their victory over the Christian Spaniards by transforming a church there into the world's third-largest mosque complex.

Today, some of the Mosque's backers insist this term is being used to "symbolize interfaith cooperation" when, in fact, every Islamist in the world recognizes Cordoba as a symbol of Islamic conquest. It is a sign of their contempt for Americans and their confidence in our historic ignorance that they would deliberately insult us this way. Those Islamists and their apologists who argue for "religious toleration" are arrogantly dishonest. They ignore the fact that more than 100 mosques already exist in New York City. Meanwhile, there are no churches or synagogues in all of Saudi Arabia. In fact no Christian or Jew can even enter Mecca.  And they lecture us about tolerance.
If the people behind the Cordoba House were serious about religious toleration, they would be  imploring the Saudis, as fellow Muslims, to immediately open up Mecca to all and immediately announce their intention to allow non-Muslim houses of worship in the Kingdom. They
should be asked by the news media if they would be willing to lead such a campaign.

We have not been able to rebuild the World Trade Center in nine years. Now we are being told a 13 story, $100 million megamosque will be built within a year overlooking the site of the most devastating surprise attack in American history.

Finally where is the money coming from? The people behind the Cordoba House refuse to reveal all their funding sources.
America is experiencing an Islamist cultural-political offensive
designed to undermine and destroy our civilization. Sadly, too many of  our elites are the willing apologists for those who would destroy them if they could.

No mosque.
No self deception.
No surrender.

The time to take a stand is now - at this site on this issue.

If, after reading this, you agree with it, please pass it on to
others. This is the most clearly stated, sensible, and historically accurate statement that I've read on this issue (and I've read a lot of them).
If you don't agree, I really don't care to hear back from you.

    **JP** Facebook or HATEBOOK



    Thursday, August 26, 2010
    by Mike Adams

    Facebook devolves into dark web of anonymous hate speech

    When broadcast television was first invented in the first half of the 20th century, it was quickly heralded as a technological breakthrough that would inspire, educate and uplift human civilization. Educational programs and useful knowledge could be cheaply and efficiently broadcast to people everywhere, it was thought. The FCC even required television stations to run news programming without commercials as a trade-off for being granted broadcast space in the electromagnetic spectrum. This TV news, it was thought, was the broadcast station's obligation to the betterment of society.

    Those were the humble and well-intentioned beginnings of television, a game-changing "disruptive" technology that we now know has actually dumbed-down our population while becoming a cesspool for manipulative corporate advertising and idiotic entertainment. Far from enlightening human civilization, television has arguably enslaved it, seductively luring the population into a downward spiral of runaway consumerism, debt, disease and mainstream stupidity.

    While educational television programming may still be found through such organizations as Nova, the BBC, The Learning Channel, Discovery and notable others, the bulk of television programming available today is an insult to the potential of human intelligence, and it only contributes to the collapse of meaningful discourse -- a fact that becomes grossly obvious during every political election campaign.

    The age of the internet

    The internet has often been described as a far more intelligent medium than broadcast television. TV is a one-way street, after all: Program directors and advertisers shout their messages into the minds of passive observers (couch potatoes), none of whom have an opportunity to really participate or respond.

    The internet is a two-way street, though: People can vote, comment and query. And for this reason, it has long been believed that the internet is healthy for society. Getting people engaged in discussions and participating in creative contribution projects seems a lot smarter than having them sprawled out in front of the old boob tube, mindlessly hypnotized by another episode of some me-too reality TV show.

    Facebook, of course, has played the role of a key enabler in the online "mass participation" trend. But what has emerged from Facebook and other social network has not been the thoughtful, reasoned discussions and contributions we might idealistically hope to see. Rather, Facebook has, for reasons you'll soon see, brought out the worst in many people, devolving into a tangled web of anonymous hate speech directed to anything and everything within reach.

    Hence the new nickname for Facebook... Hatebook.

    How Facebook became a hate engine

    What could have been a platform for community sharing, idea-gathering and creative problem solving has devolved (with some exceptions) into a juvenile hate-fest of truly idiotic half-thoughts. And the worst of the Haters who prowl Facebook looking for something to attack and destroy are not merely a small minority of its population; at times they seem to dominate the conversations there (to the great dismay of the intelligent, thoughtful people trying to carry on a real conversation).

    Yes, there are many thoughtful, positive and intelligent people using Facebook. Quite a few frequent our NaturalNews page, in fact. But far too often their thoughtful ideas are drowned out by what can only be called "mindless hate."

    In discussing this, however, let's differentiate between reasonable criticism and mindless hate. "Reasonable criticism" is a comment or criticism emerging from reasoned consideration of some issue. A lot of what I write, for example, is "reasonable criticism" because it offers criticism and then explains reasons for arriving at that criticism. This article is a good example of reasonable criticism.

    "Mindless hate," on the other hand, is a kind of irrational, emotionally-charged hate speech that places no value on facts, reason or logic of any kind. It is merely an emotional discharge, almost a kind of mental vomit that has been splattered across the online world. And it contains some of the most vicious hate speech that has ever been recorded in human history.

    I once read a post from a person who said, essentially, "I am sending out love to everyone on planet Earth!" From there, one Facebook Hater posted, "That must include the terrorists, too. So you love terrorists!" This was quickly followed by another Hater who chimed in, "I can't believe she loves terrorists! Terror lover!" From there, if you can believe it, the posts devolved into even more mindless discharges of venomous nonsense against a woman who only sought to post something positive and uplifting.

    I've asked around the natural health community as well as the celebrity community, and I've found that nearly every person who gains notoriety is now being victimized by a constant assault of hate speech on Facebook, Twitter and other social networks. Fine film actors, esteemed scientists, spiritual teachers and authors are all being assaulted by Hatebook vitriol. No person of noteworthiness escapes being targeted by Facebook Haters because they operate 24 hours a day and, most important of all, they operate with complete anonymity.

    Haters, you see, are emboldened by their anonymity. If real names were required on Facebook, the density of hate speech would drop sharply. Because a lot of what people say in their hate rants is so bizarre and defamatory that they would never allow their real names to be attached to such verbiage. So they create fake accounts, then post their hate messages under false identities, allowing their inner hate to scream out to the world without any risk that such bizarre behavior would reflect on them as real people in the real world.

    Which brings me to a curious question: Who, exactly, are these Haters?

    The Hater next door

    As it turns out, these are ordinary, everyday people. These are the people who are frustrated with their jobs, frustrated with their marriages, frustrated with their economic situation and frustrated with life. They have no place to vent this frustration in the real world. You can't tell off your boss and expect to still receive a paycheck. You can't scream at your husband or wife without risking a divorce. You can't go around shooting people on the streets without getting arrested and thrown in prison.

    But you can assassinate people online. Anonymously... and protected by the very structure of Facebook which seems to be designed to actually encourage argument (because conflict results in more posts, more attention and therefore more advertising revenue).

    Your typical Facebook Hater is often the same guy you think is "a nice neighbor." He's quiet, polite in public, and follows the rules of society in the real world. But in the world of online anonymity, he becomes the Dark Lord Sauron, master of his domain of destruction, destroyer of dreams and all that is good. Mua-hah-hah!

    He becomes, in other words, an entirely different person. And the extremes expressed by those two people might easily result in him being diagnosed as having "multiple personality disorder" if such divergent behavior were expressed in the real physical world. But in the online world, it now seems all too "normal."

    Facebook, by the way, does not give users the ability to effectively and permanently ban haters from posting on their wall, nor does it offer any sort of "hate filters" or other technologies that might ease this situation. As I hinted earlier, Facebook actually seems to encourage hate speech because it engenders conflict, and conflict attracts attention. That attention, in turn, translates into more page views and more ad revenues. To end hate speech on Facebook could mean losing half its traffic (or more). There's just no financial incentive to stop hate from propagating across social networks like Facebook.

    Facebook, you might say, feeds on hate.

    The destruction of good people

    The upshot of all this is that online hate speech is destroying the lives of many brilliant people. I know several genius-level individuals from the academic world who just couldn't take the onslaught of Facebook hate speech and ended up closing their accounts, removing all social networking buttons and retreating to the online equivalent of a hermit's hut in the woods.

    What's sad is that these are tremendously intelligent, talented people who have very important gifts of knowledge and insight to offer humanity. They are being systematically shouted off the stage by what can only be called idiotic hate speech vented from anonymous Haters who truly offer nothing to this world. They are, you might say, "useless Haters."

    Imagine if Facebook had existed in the time of Einstein or the famed physicist Richard Feynman. These brilliant physicists -- whose ideas literally transformed our understanding of the universe -- would have been relentlessly attacked as fraudsters and quacks by the prevailing idiocy of the masses. "Time is relative? It's absurd! What kind of freakin' idiot would even believe such a stupid idea?" And this would be followed by a few thousand posts of follow-up haters who neither have the intellectual capacity to understand Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity nor the inclination to learn more about it before lashing out in condemnation of it.

    The tone of devolving thought

    What's really happening with Facebook, Twitter and other social networks is that the conversations that dominate society are devolving into mindless hate speech. Bobby hates Sherry. Sherry hates Cindy's dress. Cindy hates Bobby's stupid grin... and Bobby slept with Sherry the other night, even though he hates her, just to take a snapshot and embarrass her online.

    This kind of thing is then followed by the most inane and utterly useless scraps of non-knowledge, such as: "I burned my toast this morning, and it reminded me of what a bitch you are" except, of course, I've spelled it all too well here. In the real world of Hatebook, such an insult would appear more like, "i burnt my tost this mrning, and it rimind me of what a bitch u r" followed by "ur pethetic" from someone else who can't spell, either.

    And round and round it goes -- a chorus of madness based on a kind of mental derangement that seems to have infected an alarming percentage of the online population.

    Don't misinterpret me here, though: In no way am I saying that everyone online behaves in this way. What I'm saying is that those intelligent, thoughtful people who have something important to add to a discussion are frequently being drowned out by the haters who can always scream louder than the person they're attacking.

    And yet we still need social networks

    Why does any of this matter? Because Facebook, Twitter and other social networks are now so popular that integrating with them is essential for the success of just about any online business. You either use them or you miss opportunities for reaching people. And if you use them, you automatically subject yourself to the hate speech of the deranged, creating not merely emotional stress but also an administrative task of trying to remove hate posts and counter the false and misleading "hate liars" who intentionally post information they know to be falsified.

    This is true regardless of which side of the issue you're on. Whether you're a Republican or Democrat; whether you're into natural health or conventional medicine; whether you believe in global warming or think it's a hoax... no matter what side you take on any issue, you are going to be targeted for idiotic hate speech by the mindless social networking haters who invoke their hate outbursts as a kind of mental masturbation. They "get off" on destroying everyone else while reducing reasoned conversations to linguistic seizures sprinkled with spite.

    The big-picture result of this is that people who go online feel increasingly negative and stressful about their lives. Society suffers as a whole when anonymous hate speech is allowed to dominate the bits and bytes of the 'net. These days, there's almost no room left for reasoned verbal discourse. Common sense, it seems, can't fit into a 140-character tweet. Forget the TV sound bite -- online bites are mere fragments of thought that often contain nothing other than seemingly random words placed in some bizarre sequence interspersed with insults or profanity.

    This is the best we can do? Really? This is the civilization that sent men to the moon, that built an atomic supercollider, that has unlocked many secrets of biochemistry and that hopes to someday colonize other worlds? Who, exactly, is going to develop the next generation of technological innovations when our teens are too busy texting and cheating on tests to actually learn mathematics? How are democracies going to survive if there's no tolerance for rational discussions about political candidates and their policies, and the whole contest comes down to who can spew the most lies to the greatest number of voters?

    Solutions?

    So how do we shift the tone of online interactions into a more positive, responsible direction? This is a crucial question for our time, and it's one that is just barely beginning to be considered.

    A knee-jerk reaction often leads to the idea of, "Well let's require everybody to have a license to use the internet, and they can only use their real names." At first, it might sound like a decent idea, but the more you look into this, the more quickly you realize that this would turn the internet into a virtual police state, with governments monitoring, controlling and censoring online discussions. Anyone "caught" arguing against mandatory vaccination policies, for example, might be banned from using the 'net.

    For obvious reasons, governments should never control access to speech. Police State nations like China are already putting such requirements in place, and they are very effective at allowing the government to censor and control online conversations. Such draconian rules don't make sense in a nation like the USA where freedom of speech is still widely respected.

    But there are other potential solutions available to us. At the very least, social networks like Facebook could do a lot more to improve the situation. They could provide users with better tools to ban Haters or automatically filter out posts with an overtly negative tone. Facebook could introduce a "reputation" system where people are voted into "white hat" or "black hat" status based on what other users think of their comments. Users could then automatically ban any posts from those with low reputation scores.

    A reputation system, you see, is what could bring back some measure of civility to the internet, even if real people hide behind virtual names.

    I believe there is a billion-dollar idea here, where some energetic entrepreneur could introduce a reputation monitor system that could offer internet-wide reputation scores for a given user, allowing websites to use that reputation score as part of their content visibility calculations.

    In fact, I foresaw the need for such a service nearly a decade ago and registered many domain names back then such as ReputationMonitor.com, ReputationGuard.com and ReputationServices.com. If anyone reading this is interested in creating and launching a reputation technology system that could help solve the problem of Hatebook Haters, I'd be very interested in partnering with you and promoting your solution.

    While a reputation system is one idea for reducing the tone of mindless hate on the 'net, there may be other ideas that are just as powerful that we haven't thought of yet. Keyword analysis systems can easily score posts in terms of their positivity or negativity, and sites like Twitter or Facebook could allow users to control their own "hate filters" (sort of like parental filters for children) that would automatically filter out the most negative posts. (Spam filters often work in much the same way.)

    This could serve as a kind of "hate firewall" that would greatly reduce the amount of mindless hate that gets spewed across the internet. We have firewalls for viruses and hackers... why not for Haters, too?

    Here's another interesting idea: Develop a linguistic analysis engine that can sit on top of a corporation's data stream and filter all incoming and ongoing text for extremely hate-filled emails or text posts. We actually developed a similar technology that already exists underneath our NaturalNews.com content system: It rates stories for their top concepts and then statistically relates those concepts to other stories in order to make intelligent recommendations for readers. Doing the same thing for emails or text posts is a fairly straightforward matter.

    But in order to get to these solutions, we as an online society must first recognize that the "Hatebook" approach to online communications is simply not acceptable. We must admit that allowing anonymous hate speech to continue online is destroying our collective quality of life while adding nothing of value to society.

    And yet, if we take action to reduce the anonymity of Haters, we must take care to preserve the freedoms of speech that make the internet, as a whole, a very valuable tool for the sharing of knowledge, creativity and solutions.

    This is obviously a difficult balancing act, and I don't claim to have all the answers. I just know that what I've seen coming out of Facebook is some of the most dark, hateful and truly devolved "free speech" I've ever witnessed. And it is destroying the good will of good people to whom our world owes a debt of gratitude.

    We can do better than this. We must do better, in fact, if we hope to survive as a civilization. The open sharing of intelligent ideas is crucial, I believe, to us finding solutions for the really big questions that confront us today: How will our planet survive humanity's destructive domination? How will we colonize other planets to insulate ourselves against future cataclysmic events? How can we preserve and expand the whole of human knowledge so that future generations are wiser than we? How can we explore the causes of happiness?

    These questions cannot be discussed in an environment that favors mindless hatred and anonymous stupidity over well-formed ideas and reasoned argument.

    PC Police Attack Member of Obama's Deficit Commission for saying Social Security is like a milk cow with 310 tits




    PC Police Attack Member of Obama's Deficit Commission for saying Social Security is like a milk cow with 310 tits

    Let me understand this. A republican makes a comment about Social Security being like a milk cow with 310 million tits, and he is asked to resign from Obama's deficit commission? Where were these PC police when Harry Reid made his "light-skinned" and "no negro dialect" comment? Where are these same hypocrite on the subject of health care rationing comments made by Obama appointee Dr. Donald Berwick?

    What Alan Simpson said is factually true. Most Americans look to Social Security to fund their full retirement. Social Security was designed to be a supplement for retirement. Now that Social Security is paying out more than it takes in, Americans have to realize that the system needs to be changed.

    Reuters reports:

    The co-chairman of a commission on the U.S. budget deficit came under fire on Wednesday after an off-color remark that likened the payment of government retirement benefits to milking cows.

    Women's groups and some lawmakers called for the resignation of Alan Simpson, a Republican who serves on the bipartisan deficit panel created by President Barack Obama.

    Simpson wrote this week in an email to one of his critics the Social Security retirement program has reached the point "where it's like a milk cow with 310 million tits."

    He later issued an apology for the comment.

    Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent, and Representative Peter DeFazio, a Democrat, said the comments were "beyond comprehension" and demeaned older Americans and disabled people who receive Social Security benefits. They wrote to Obama to ask that Simpson be removed from the commission.

    Two socialist progressive Democrats claim Simpson's remark is "beyond comprehension." Where were they on the comments made by KKK-leader, and Democrat, Robert Byrd and his "beyond comprehension" comments about black Americans? Hypocrites.

    The National Organization for Women said Simpson was "not fit to lead" the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform.

    NOW is the same group who push woman to abort millions of little women every years. In their book, opinions are bad while murder is fine and dandy.

    The former senator from Wyoming made the comment about milking cows in an e-mail this week to Ashley Carson, executive director of the Older Women's League, which identifies itself as representing the interests of middle-aged and older women.

    Simpson's e-mail took issue with a column Carson wrote in April accusing him of "ageism and sexism" for considering cuts to Social Security.

    Where is the Older Women's League outrage about Obama and the Democrats cutting $500 billion from Medicare to pay for their socialized health care bill?

    "If you have some better suggestions about how to stabilize Social Security instead of just babbling into the vapors, let me know," wrote Simpson, 78, adding, "Call me when you get honest work."

    Simpson, known for his biting sense of humor, wrote an apology letter to Carson, saying he had put his foot in his mouth and adding "when I make a mistake, it's a doozy."

    "I apologize for what I wrote," he said.

    CALL FOR RESIGNATION

    OWL has said Simpson should resign from the panel, and if he will not, that Obama should ask him to leave.

    Simpson serves alongside Erskine Bowles, a Democrat and former White House chief of staff, and 16 other panelists.

    A White House official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said of the Simpson controversy, "He has apologized and while we regret and do not condone his comments, we accept his apology and he will continue to serve."

    AARP, which represents older Americans, said the remarks called into question Simpson's ability to consider important fiscal matters such as the future of Social Security.

    The same AARP who sold their support to ObamaCare for a few special deals?

    "Sen. Simpson's remarks not only cross the line of good judgment, but they undermine the serious work of the commission and give us little confidence the commission can fairly look at important programs such as Social Security," the group said in a statement.

    Social Security is in the red by $694,000,000,000. It is the biggest Ponzi scheme in history. There is no money in the system. It's all IOU's thanks to politicians who raided the system to pay for other entitlements. Let's keep things the way they are so Social Security will end faster. That's what these Progressive Socialists Democrats want.

    Obamas Depleting U.S. Lobster Supply

    So how much lobster are you having during these precarious economic times? What? You've had to cut back? No longer ordering it stuffed with crab meat, at least?

    Well, if you happen to be the President of the United States or the First Lady, your lobster consumption is continuing at a robust pace.

    I don't know what it is in Obama's world but around here lobster is about $10/lbs and you know this guy isn't cooking his own – oh no you're paying for it, to be bought, cooked and served. So let me ask you – when was the last time you had lobster? I mean a big meaty tail and claws – not some little bits served up in a Chinese dinner. For me and I love lobster – I could eat it every week, but I don't think I could pin point the last time I had a lobster if I had to guess it was over a year ago in Florida and that was a Caribbean spiny lobster which lacks the big juicy meaty claws and this clown is eating it all the time – and lets not forget the Kobe beef too.

    It goes on…

    According to ABC's Jake Tapper, the president savored some lobster tempura at the trendy State Road Restaurant in West Tisbury on Martha's Vineyard. Oh, just the thought of it. If he brings some back to the White House for me, I'll write whatever he wants.

    Lobster tempura? You don't do that to lobster – you don't batter up and deep fry lobster and then drown it in some over powering soy based dipping sauce! That's just wrong! For God sake it's lobster, not popcorn shrimp.

    Monday night at The Sweet Life Cafe in Oak Bluffs on the Vineyard it was the lobster pasta appetizer for the president and a surf and turf entrée – the "surf" being a lobster tail – for Mrs. Obama.

    And what would the vacation to Maine in July have been without a taste of everyone's favorite crustacean. The president did it in a little less genteel fashion that time, heading over to something called Stewman's Downtown restaurant where he was served the "Lobster Experience" dinner – just regular lobster, corn and slaw.

    Poor thing… just a regular lobster dinner with corn and slaw – what no Lobster Thermidor, Lobster Newburg – no Chilled Lobster With Mimosa Dressing… oh the humanity!

    But the Obamas' lobster experience is not confined to these shores. Michelle Obama was barely off the plane during her voyage early this month to the Spanish Riviera when, according to the Spanish press, she dived into a feast of sea bass tartare, strawberry gazpacho and sardines, and a main course of lobster with seaweed risotto.

    Oh where is my Thurston Howell III voice at … sea bass tartare (that's minced raw meat), strawberry gazpacho and sardines, and a main course of lobster with seaweed risotto – eww I hope the strawberry gazpacho and sardines were two different dishes – but at least risotto and lobster goes together. However I'd prefer an al dente orzo over risotto – but what do I know I'm just a hick from the country eating mudbugs and gator meat.

    Michelle enjoyed the repast so much that she was right back at it on August 14 during the Obamas' two-day Panama City, Fla photo-op vacation. There, at the Firefly restaurant, it was more lobster for Michelle.

    Has this hog had a look in the mirror? She needs to lay of the lobster dripping in ghee and look into a diet heavy on the tofu because her "see-food" diet isn't working. My God doesn't she know there are children in Africa that have no ass.

    The Obamas were supposed to be showing support for the good people of the oil spill-stricken Gulf, eating their seafood and so forth. So the big question is, was it a Caribbean lobster or one shipped down from Maine?

    And who knows what lobster delicacies the White House chef is whipping up for them in between vacations?

    No wonder the Russians just started fueling the Iranian nuclear reactor at Bushehr. When President Medvedev was here, Obama took him for burgers.

    Well at least it wasn't Borscht otherwise we'd be looking at mutually assured destruction right now.

    Here is the deal – Obama knows he is an one term'er and he is going to milk the perks of being president for all it's worth – I'd expect to see him and lard-ass take a lot more vacation before he is gone. I think Obama thought the job was like the campaign trail – all talk, adoring crowds and play with no real responsibilities and now that he is in office he doesn't want it so the easiest thing to do is go on vacation and he does that quite well.

    Question is how many more lobsters will be murdered at the hands of the Obama's – can't they eat spam?
