Liberty, 10 Years After the Killing of Theo van Gogh

Ten years to the day after the slaughter of Theo van Gogh, let's look back and see where we stand. Those willing to face facts, see a frightening reality that is an existential threat to humanity and the entire civilization.

There is one important difference standing out between today and ten years ago. At the time many thought that Islam is a morally neutral movement, like say, liberalism or rock 'n roll. A cultural idea that free people are at liberty to practice if they so wish. It has taken some time to figure out, that an idea that is directly opposed to the Good, isn't a moral equal, but an enemy. Many have managed to make that cognitive step. But the genocides in Iraq and Syria, the enslavement of women and children, the crucifixions, the looting, the floggings and the stonings on a massive scale have not been able to penetrate the teflon layer that separates the evaders from reality, leaders like Barack Obama, that labor under the insane view that "Islam has nothing to do with Islamic State" and that "no religion condones terrorism". Read the ffing Koran, I say!

Hong Kong Protests: Democracy Can't Wait!

Demonstrators have been protesting China’s plan for Hong Kong’s 2017 elections. The elections will be less democratic than Beijing had earlier promised. On September 24, the student-led pro-democracy protesters moved to Hong Kong’s financial district, Central.

UPDATE: Fake democracy they call it, and it is: voters can chose between a number of Government vetted parties, like in Iran. Which again goes to show: there's more to self government than a ballot box.

Jihadist Attacks on Individuals: A New Trend?

The two terrorist attacks in Canada in as many days did not come as a surprise. Since the country joined the coalition against Islamic State there was a spike in IS related chatter. Today, Caucus Meeting Day meant that all parties would be in attendance in the Parliament Building in Ottawa.



Tarek Fatah: Has anyone denounced the doctrine of armed Jihad or the prayer to grant Muslims victory over infidels? 

UPDATE: Anyone spot a trend here? What's next? Hand to hand combat in the streets?

Postmodern Islamist Does a Hatchet Job

A hatchet-wielding Islamist steeped in Postmodern liberation ideology attacked a group of patrol officers in the New York City district of Queens, injuring two before the other officers shot and killed him. A bystander was wounded.

A hatchet-wielding man attacked a group of patrol officers in a busy commercial district in Queens on Thursday, injuring two before the other officers shot and killed him. A bystander was wounded in the gunfire. The deceased suspect has been identified in multiple reports as 32-year-old Zale Thompson, an apparent Muslim who lived in Queens. Asked if the attack could be related to terrorism, Bratton didn’t rule it out. He cited the fatal shooting of a solider in Canada earlier this week – what officials there have called a terror attack – as reason for concern.

Confronting Evil, Courage is Contagious

With the recent (temporary) victory in Kobane against the forces of evil, here's a little something to lift your spirits.

And please remember that in the light of history this is an epic, existential battle for civilization. The Kurds and many other brave men and women are going through their darkest hours on behalf of all of us. Please consider donating to the fund. And please remember that appeasement of bullies spells success: it will only lead to more problems ahead. Evil must be confronted to be overcome. There is no alternative! 

Erdogan of Turkey and the Politics of Deception

Turkey, the loyal NATO member and future non Christian star of the European Union, is slowly but surely moving towards a totalitarian, theocratic state under Islam. And it is happening largely under the radar. 

Anthology of contradiction: Erdogan has made hundreds of hypocritical speeches in over 40 years in politics and is still producing them.

Historically Turkey has been a valued member of NATO as a bridge between Europe and Asia. The country had an important role during the Cold War as a buffer against Communism. To the ideologues in the EU, membership of Turkey would prove their imperial project is not a 'Christian club', but a multicultural empire in which not just everyone, but also every religion and every culture, is fully equal... except Western culture and Christianity, that are uniquely evil and must be destroyed - for its own good, of course. Turkey would grow the EU by 81,6 million Europeans (source) which is slightly more than the largest EU country, Germany (source) that has a population of just 80,6 million. The power of Turkey would be such, that memberhip would change the overall character of the Union. Which is no problem, given that every country is equal. 

The Flipside Goes Anti-Jihad With Bosch Fawstin

The Flipside with Michael Loftus offers a fresh perspective by taking on the flipside of the news, commentary, and pop-culture. The show has a distinct conservative/libertarian angle. His excellent rant on Global Warming from the second episode immediately went viral, including The Blaze and Fox News.

Oct 13, 2014  This episode of The Flipside features special guest cartoonist Bosch Fawstin.

The Flipside goes anti-Jihad with the guest Bosch Fawstin - author of Pigman - as well as with Michael's excellent rant about O.J. Simpson's conversion to Islam, and some jokes by one of our all time favorite blogs, The People's Cube which is part of the Flipside team. 

Cheney: 9/11 Will Look Like a Walk in the Park

Former Vice President Dick Cheney opened up for a nearly two hour interview with Bill Kristol, as part of the latest installment of Conversations With Bill Kristol. He says 9/11 will turn out to be not nearly as bad as the next mass casualty attack against the United States.

Oct 12, 2014 Dick Cheney and Bill Kristol discuss Cheney's time as secretary of defense, the Gulf War, the Nixon and Ford Years, the Reagan years, 9/11, and the threats we face today.

Chapter 1 (00:15 - 10:37): Secretary of Defense Cheney
Chapter 2 (10:37 - 35:14): The Gulf War\
Chapter 3 (35:14 - 53:23): From Nixon to Ford
Chapter 4 (53:23 - 1:10:09): President Gerald Ford
Chapter 5 (1:10:09 - 1:23:48): The Reagan Years
Chapter 6 (1:23:48 - 1:39:33): Dick Cheney on 9/11
Chapter 7 (1:39:33 - 1:51:39): Threats We Face

On the last point, Cheney surveyed the world -- particulary the Middle East -- and expressed concern about Iran getting nuclear weapons. If that happens, Cheney predicted, many other countries in the region would quickly acquire nuclear weapons, too. "So we're in a very dangerous period and I think it's more threatening than the period before 9/11," Cheney predicted. "I think 9/11 will turn out to be not nearly as bad as the next mass casualty attack against the United States--which, if and when it comes, will be with something far deadlier than [with] airline tickets and box cutters."

Escape From Boko Haram: Remember #BringBackOurGirls ?

Back in May celebrities and polititicians launched a hashtag campaign to Bring Back Our Girls. Even the UN and the Security Council, all people with real power, jumped on the soap box. The exercise in Narcissism obscured the fact that this heinous crime had anything to do with Islam. The fact was simply ignored.



In Nigeria some 300 girls have been kidnapped from their dormitory by members of the Islamic Jihadist group, Boko Haram (translation: Western Education is a Sin).  A few escaped Chibok Girls Share Their Experience.

UPDATE: Remember the Chibok girls? Well, there's news!
