Chavez: "Come Obama, ally with us on the path to socialism"

“I recommend to Obama -- they’re criticizing him because they say he’s moving towards socialism -- come Obama, ally with us on the path to socialism, it’s the only road.” Chavez comments on President Obama and the US economy. He made the remarks today on Venezuelan state television. “Imagine a socialist revolution in the US. Nothing is impossible."

We'd hate to overwork our hamsters, but then again sometimes those little critters ought to earn their keep instead of being cared for all the time. Here's a Roomba that has been retrofitted with a special mechanism that enables it to be controlled from the hamster ball. In essence, the Roomba will go wherever the hamster runs, but chances are your floors will be cleaned in random zig zag lines and not in an orderly manner, making this cute little project more of an interesting experiment instead of a practical solution.

More military officers demand eligibility proof



 
 

Sent to you by John via Google Reader:

 
 

via American Conservative Daily by Carolyn Hileman - The Voice on 3/3/09

Plaintiff: 'In the worst case … it's going to be revolution in the streets'
Military officers from the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines are working with California attorney Orly Taitz and her Defend Our Freedoms Foundation, citing a legal right established in British common law nearly 800 years ago and recognized by the U.S. Founding Fathers to demand documentation that may prove – or disprove – Barack Obama's eligibility to be president.

Taitz told WND today she has mailed to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder a request that he "relate Quo Warranto on Barack Hussein Obama II to test his title to president before the Supreme Court."

The lengthy legal phrase essentially means an explanation is being demanded for what authority Obama is using to act as president. An online constitutional resource says Quo Warranto "affords the only judicial remedy for violations of the Constitution by public officials and agents."

Requesting the action are Maj. Gen. Carroll Childers; Lt. Col. Dr. David Earl-Graef; police officer Clinton Grimes, formerly of the U.S. Navy; Lt. Scott Easterling, now serving on active duty in Iraq; New Hampshire state Rep. Timothy Comerford; Tennessee state Rep. Frank Nicely and others.

Obama WH Secret Phone Conferences Bear Fruit With TV Media’s Limbaugh Attack



 
 

Sent to you by John via Google Reader:

 
 

via American Conservative Daily by Warner Todd Huston on 3/3/09

-By Warner Todd Huston

Back on January 29, we discussed the daily strategy phone call engineered by Obama's Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel for friendly TV commentators and "reporters." Politico reported that Emanuel has a daily phone conference call with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, and CNN's James Carville and Paul Begala. With Rush Limbaugh's raucous CPAC address, as he termed it his "first address to the nation," we can see at least one example of what is likely an attack strategy resulting from the Emanuel phone session with a rush to bash Rush the day after the appearance. [Image credit: politico.com]

As soon as the sun rose on the day after Limbaugh's CPAC appearance, three of the four of the phone call participants attacked Limbaugh with the same talking points. It seems obvious that they coordinated their attack together in the Obama secret strategy session. It is amazing that a president's staff can have such power over major media figures without a peep being heard from those that only months ago bashed former presidents over a perceived undue, even "dangerous," control of the media.

The morning after Limbaugh's CPAC speech, Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel appeared on CBS News' Face the Nation and told Bob Schieffer that Limbaugh was the "voice of the Republican Party," and that he "hasn't stepped back from" the "hopes for failure" he expressed for Obama's administration.

James Carville, obeying his Obama marching orders, said pretty much the same thing in his CNN commentary headlined, "A history lesson for Rush Limbaugh," where Carville began by saying that Rush is the "moral and intellectual leader and most influential person in the Republican Party."

As for ABC's George Stephanopoulos, he employed the same talking point about Rush's hope that Obama's socialist policies would not succeed – though it is sure that Stephy didn't call Obama's policies socialist. In an interview with Eric Cantor, Stephanopoulos said, "So the Rush Limbaugh approach of wanting the president to fail is not the Eric Cantor, House Republican approach?"

So, what we see here is the combined attack emanating out of the secret phone call strategy session pushing the themes that Rush is the "voice of the GOP" and that he wants Obama to be a failure – both talking points that are not exactly in context with the facts. The strategy at work is that these three Democrat activists pretending at members of the media have concocted with the White House through Emanuel an effort to tar all Republicans with the Rush brush.

These Obama strategists think that making Rush the "voice of the GOP" will drive away moderates and make the GOP seem to be leaning toward right-wing extremism. And, by adding Rush's hope that Obama's socialist policies fail, these strategists are attempting to claim that Republicans hate Obama merely because he is president (veiled racism) and not because the GOP is against these unAmerican polices Obama is pushing.

Once again, I have to ask, why are these secret phone call strategy sessions not a matter of public discussion? That the White House is orchestrating media messages with the supposedly independent press corps, is it nothing to raise an eyebrow about? Should we not see this as the sort of collusion between the press and the White House that leads to public information controlled by political spinmieisters in the belly of the White House instead of journalists interested in truth? Where are those that only until recently claimed to be interested in a free press dedicated to the real story? Why are they so suddenly quite?

Lastly I'd like to suggest something. These folks are all eager to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine, of course. So, I am wondering if it would be "fair" that Rahm include a few conservatives in the secret phone sessions he has with his lap dog media pals? Let's say along with Stephy, Carville and Begala, Rahm might include Rush and Sean Hannity?? Seems pretty fair to me, anyway!

OBAMA'S AMERICA (David Shribman)



 
 

Sent to you by John via Google Reader:

 
 

via Yahoo! News: Opinion on 3/2/09

David Shribman - For more than a year, Barack Obama ran as the man from hope -- or at least a man of hope. The implicit notion was that Americans could feel free to hope again, that they could dare to believe, and that the very act of hoping could be redemptive, and effective, too. Obama has been in office for little more than a month, and it is clear that hope is the thing with feathers. It flew away.

Taliban violates Swat truce



 
 

Sent to you by John via Google Reader:

 
 

via The Long War Journal on 3/1/09

The Swat Taliban violated the ceasefire with the Pakistani military twice on Sunday, prompting protests from the local government.

In the Kambar region of Swat, the Taliban abducted a district commander of the paramilitary Frontier Corps and four of his troops, Geo News reported. In the Kabal region, Taliban forces attacked a military vehicle transporting sick troops.

The military did not respond to either incident, except for filing a complaint. A "protest has been registered before the concerned authorities that have been asked to bar extremists from such attacks in the future," according to Geo News.

The Taliban and the government agreed to an indefinite ceasefire as the peace agreement, know as the Malakand Accord, is negotiated. The peace agreement, if signed, would put an end to the brutal fighting in Swat, which began in 2007 and resulted in the Taliban taking total control over the district.

The agreement calls for the military to halt operations and return to barracks in exchange for the implementation of sharia in the districts of Malakand, Swat, Shangla, Buner, Dir, Chitral, and Kohistan. The Taliban have demanded that its prisoners be released and an amnesty granted for its members. A similar peace agreement failed in 2008.

The Taliban have violated the ceasefire several times since it was implemented in late February. The most prominent case took place just days after the ceasefire took effect. The Taliban captured the district coordinating officer for Swat and six of his Frontier Corps Guards. A Taliban spokesman said he was a "guest" who was detained to "discuss some issues." The government freed several Taliban prisoners to secure their release.

As the Taliban violate the ceasefire, Sufi Mohammed, the radical cleric who served as the intermediary between the government and the Taliban, demanded sharia, or Islamic law to be implemented by March 15. Sufi threatened to launch protests if the demand was not met. Sufi also provided a list of Taliban prisoners to be released.

The government quickly agreed to Sufi's demand to implement sharia by mid-March, and also caved on his demand to oversee the appointment of judges for the sharia courts. The government said Taliban prisoners "would be released in phases after scrutiny by the government," Dawn reported.

Background on Sufi Mohammed

Sufi Mohammed is the spiritual leader of the outlawed Movement for the Implementation of Mohammad's Sharia Law. He claimed to have eschewed violence after being released from prison in November 2007 as a condition of a similar failed peace agreement in Swat. Sufi led more than 10,000 Pakistanis into Afghanistan after the US invasion in 2001. Mullah Fazlullah, the radical anti-government cleric behind the insurgency and terror attacks in Swat, is his son-in-law.

Sufi and the Swat Taliban maintained very close links to the radical administration of the Lal Masjid, or Red Mosque, the pro-Taliban mosque in the heart of Islamabad whose followers enforced sharia and kidnapped policemen just one mile from the seat of government. The Pakistani military stormed the Lal Masjid in July 2007 after a several-month standoff. More than a hundred followers and more than a dozen soldiers were killed in the battle.

In recent interviews, Sufi declared his hatred for democracy and the West, and described Mullah Omar's regime in Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001 as "ideal."

"From the very beginning, I have viewed democracy as a system imposed on us by the infidels. Islam does not allow democracy or elections," Sufi told Deutsche Presse-Agentur just days before the Malakand Accord was signed. "I believe the Taliban government formed a complete Islamic state, which was an ideal example for other Muslim countries."

President Obama's good turn on Iraq. In his recent speech, Obama acknowledged that American troops have made Iraq a better country for its citizens, and by leaving some forces there after the summer of 2010, understands the necessity of the US presence there.

RyanAir To Liven Up Emergencies With Exciting New Escape Fees! [Leaks]



 
 

Sent to you by John via Google Reader:

 
 

via Consumerist by Carey on 3/1/09

RyanAir's toilet tax may not be the company's worst idea after all, as reader Geoffrey reminds us with this mockup showing several potential fees the budget Irish carrier may well be considering.

If only U.S. Airways had the foresight to charge their own emergency escape fee they could've collected a smooth $3,750 from the passengers of Flight 1549 before letting anyone off the wings.

Obama Frees First Gitmo Terrorist!



 
 

Sent to you by John via Google Reader:

 
 

via American Conservative Daily by Move America Forward on 3/1/09


Obama Releases Terrorist Binyam Mohamed
FREE MAN IN THE UK
How Long Before He Re-joins Al-Qaeda?

Binyam Mohamed yesterday became the first freed terrorist of the Obama administration.  He was released to British authorities who promptly, as expected, released him back into the general population.  Shame on our British friends!  Where is Margaret Thatcher when we need her?

Mohamed is now free as a bird in London.   While British officials made assurances that Binyam would be 'monitored,' we have seen in the past that 61 terrorists released from Gitmo have returned to terrorism –  even through some went through the so-called "rehab" program in Saudi Arabia.

Do you want to see more terrorists like Binyam Mohameds being
RELEASED from Gitmo into the general public?
We've got to stop this madness NOW!

Click HERE and support MAF's TV AD so we can mobilize the American public!

Are we expected to believe that after other Gitmo detainees have been released and then show up in Al Qaeda propaganda videos weeks later that Binyam Mohamed is going to live a quiet law abiding life and stay in good olde England?

Just take a look at his record of accomplishment so far.

•    He is Ethiopian born but lived in the US for 2 years and the UK for at least 6 until he traveled to Pakistan in
2001.
•    In Pakistan he linked up with Al Qaeda operatives who sent him to al Farouq training camp in Afghanistan.
This camp is infamous for training 9/11 hijackers.
•    There, he received military training as well as training in document forgery and phone number encryption from
high ranking al Qaeda operatives
•    There are indications that Osama Bin Laden personally visited this camp several times while Mohamed was
training there and lectured the students about the importance of attacking America.
•    He trained in urban warfare and explosives techniques in Kabul, and fought alongside the Taliban against the
Northern Alliance.
•    Took part in Al Qaeda planning sessions where he proposed attacking subway stations and possibly planned
detonating a "dirty bomb" with fellow Gitmo inmate Jose Padilla but was instead told to plan on bringing down
high-rise apartment buildings by blowing out the lower floors.

Why Obama would ever even think of allowing him
to go free is thoroughly incomprehensible.

But Mohamed may only be the first in a trickle that could turn into a tidal wave of Gitmo detainees released under the Obama Administration.  The new President has already made sure that charges were dropped against the alleged mastermind of the USS Cole bombing of 2000, Abd al ahim al Nashiri.


Abd al ahim al Nashiri is now held at Guantanamo Bay.

In addition to masterminding the USS Cole bombing that claimed the lives of 17 U.S. Sailors, he is suspected of helping plan the bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that occurred in 1998. He is also thought to be very close to Osama bin Laden.

Despite all that, military courts were forced to drop charges on him earlier this year by Obama's executive order.  Could Nashiri be next in line to be released?

Obama is taking his liberal policies in the war on terror too far. Bowing to foreign pressure to close Gitmo should not come at the price of risking the loss of more American lives, and more attacks on our homeland and our allies.

Please Make a contribution today…
Then view our latest TV Ad here!

That is why it is SO important that the American people out there GET THE MESSAGE! Public opinion polls show that by a wide margin, most Americans are either completely opposed to closing Gitmo, or unsure that it's worth the risk of bringing the terrorists here to American soil.

By running ads on National TV like Fox News or CNN we will bring the issue of Gitmo to the forefront of national debate and get people talking about it! We need to have more public outcry that people like Binyam Mohamed cannot just go free, with others like Nashiri waiting in the wings!

Small Asteroid To Buzz Earth

via Slashdot: Science by kdawson on 3/1/09

ddelmonte writes in to tell us about a small near-earth object, discovered just 2 days ago, that is expected to pass within 64,000 km of our planet on March 2, 13:44 UT. NEO 2009 DD45 will be well inside the Moon's orbit and just under twice the altitude of geosynchronous satellites. According to Sky and Telescope, 2009 DD45's closest approach will be over the Pacific west of Tahiti, so observers in Australia, Japan, and perhaps Hawaii will have the best chance of spotting it with, say, an 8-in. telescope. Here's where you can generate an ephemeris of the object for your location. At closest approach NEO 2009 DD45 will be moving half a degree per minute and peaking around magnitude 10.5. It will be brighter than 13th magnitude for only a few hours.
