RUTHFULLY YOURS

Last September, Barack Obama addressed the United Nations General Assembly to denounce a YouTube video, calling it “crude and disgusting” and assuring Muslims everywhere that this particular YouTube video did not represent America.

Finally Obama delivered what is surely one of the most famous YouTube negative video comments ever, “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”

The future is still up for grabs, but the man behind the YouTube video was taken in by a crowd of armed police and locked up earning him the privilege of being one of the few movie producers imprisoned for their movies; alongside Robert Goldstein of “The Spirit of ’76”.

As YouTube thumbs downs go, a year in jail is pretty harsh. The thumbs of American presidents historically lacked the thumbpotence of Roman emperors sitting in their Coliseum boxes and deciding if a gladiator should live or die. But when a YouTube video is passed off as the biggest national security threat since a Twitter hashtag about Biden’s hairplugs, why shouldn’t Obama take on imperial airs and drop the prison banhammer?

The trailer for a movie about the Muslim persecution of Christians did not actually lead to multiple coordinated attacks by Salafists against American embassies and diplomatic missions.

Unfortunately in an election where the incumbent was running on his claim that he had single-handedly killed Osama bin Laden in an arm wrestling match, it would have been embarrassing to admit that Al Qaeda had pulled off its second worst attack on America since September 11… on September 11.

Last week at more than 200 colleges and high schools across the nation, students came together to arrange memorials on campus featuring thousands of flags representing each victim of Islamic terrorism on that date. Who could find that gesture offensive? Five student protesters at Middlebury College in Vermont, brainwashed by multiculturalist nonsense, that’s who.

“The 9/11: Never Forget Project has been an annual nonpartisan event at Middlebury College for the past ten years,” writes Hillary Cherry, Program Officer of Public Relations there. The flags have been posted at Middlebury annually in a joint effort between the College Republicans and Democrats. “By participating in the 9/11: Never Forget Project, students honor the victims of the attacks, as well as honor the American principles for which they died.”

There had never before been a problem until Ben Kinney, president of the campus conservative club, caught five vandals last week in the act of ripping up the flags and bagging them like trash. They refused to stop and told him they were “confiscating” the flags in protest of “America’s imperialism.” They also claimed that the flags were desecrating an Indian burial ground.

Two of the students, Amanda Lickers (who admitted instigating the vandalism) and Anna Shireman-Grabowski, later published statements proudly taking responsibility for their despicable action. I encourage you to read them in their entirety to get the full impact of the intolerant, multiculturalist lunacy that inspired them, but here are some revealing excerpts. First, from Lickers, complete with grammatical errors:

i am a young onkwehon:we, a woman, a member of the turtle clan and the onondowa’ga nation of the haudenosaunee confederacy…

for over 500 years our people have been under attack. the theft of our territories, the devastation of our waters; the poisoning of our people through the poisoning of our lands; the theft of our people from our families; the rape of our children; the murder of our women; the sterilization of our communities; the abuse of our generations; the
uprooting of our ancestors and the occupation of our sacred sites; the silencing of our songs; the erasure of our languages and memories of our traditions

i have had enough.

So had I, but I kept reading anyway.

“Making public policy on the basis of what science “suggests” is not much wiser than summoning a fortune teller. This is a problem for the governing class, which has accepted as fact since the 1997 Kyoto Protocol the premise of a direct correlation between human-caused carbon dioxide and an overheated planet. The engine for global warming advocacy, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, now must explain that global warming’s hiatus. A portion of the U.N.’s fifth assessment draft report, due for release Sept. 27, is expected to pull back warnings to more closely reflect actual temperatures. Their credibility is at stake”

A climate scientist, comfortable in his government digs, nevertheless has a lot in common with the palm reader at the mall, hunched over her crystal ball between Nell’s Nails and Wanda’s Wigs. Both make their money from predictions, and as any high-end soothsayer could tell you, the more outlandish the prognostication, the more readily the client can be parted from his cash. Speed is essential, because the game ends when the mark realizes he has been played the fool. That’s why the weather clairvoyants who have been predicting global warming doom — “climate change” is the current name for it — are starting to sweat.

Bureaucrats being who they are, the government handouts will continue long after everyone is onto the game. But a new study in the journal Nature Climate Change found that of 117 computer models used to make climate predictions over the past 20 years, 114 overestimated global warming. The models predicted an average rise in the earth’s surface temperature of 0.30 degrees Celsius per decade; the actual temperature increase was less than half that. The study noted that the “predictive inconsistency” over the past 15 years “is even more striking.” The simulations predicted four times more warming than actual readings showed.

In 2007, climatologists predicted that rapid melting of sea ice in the Arctic would leave the top of the world ice-free by 2013, prompting hysterical prophecies of melted ice that would raise the worldwide sea level, inundating coastal cities and drowning cuddly polar bears. NASA satellite photos of the Arctic Ocean during the summer of 2012 showed the ice was indeed disappearing. Snapshots of the region last month revealed that a chilly summer has expanded the ice sheet by nearly a million square miles. The polar bears, never actually cuddly, are nevertheless in the pink. The scientists are red in the face, or should be.

One-State Delusion “Two-State Illusion” was an especially catchy title for the lead Opinion column in the Sunday The New York Times Review section (September 15). It was about time, I thought, after years of reading endless Times columns and editorials about the urgency of just that outcome, with Israel and Palestine living amicably side-by-side in […]

Mary McNamara could not have been awake when she decided to review “The Life of Muhammad” that was aired on PBS, or she might have realized that this was pure propaganda, designed to inspire hatred against the Jewish people. Had she paid attention, she would have realized all the lies declared against the State of Israel, and the misinformation spewed against her people. The film was propaganda at its worst, and is certainly a sample of civilizational warfare. PBS was terribly wrong to run it yet again, and the journalist exacerbated the injustice with her review.

The series spread the Palestinian narrative that is meant to delegitimize the sovereign State of Israel. It played down the six million Jews who died at the hands of the Nazis, in order to play up their own false victimhood. Note that the Arabs could have had, but refused, a state of their own when the Ottoman Empire was divided into mandates; their strategy was to usurp all the land even if they lost the wars fought against Israel. They have continued to refuse Israel’s willingness to negotiate a peaceful settlement. Islamists who follow their Qur’an are commanded never to assimilate and have peace – and this is obvious in every country of the world to which they have immigrated.

How could it be that McNamara did not hear the hatred spewed by those interviewed, and still praise the show! Sabri, during the dialogue, endorsed suicide bombers, “It is legitimate, of course, as long as it plays a role in the resistance,” as the body count increases. Islamists are responsible for 21,570 deadly terror attacks since 9/11/01. While Israel thrives and her people strive for the welfare of all in technological, scientific, medical and other advancements, the Palestinians have become the leading producer of terrorists. The Islamists have turned Africa into a continent of burning Christian churches with their worshippers, and Sweden into the rape capital of the world.

A Catholic convert to Islam, Green, even denounced the hero of the Republic of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who created a government and parliament to represent the people, abolishing the horrific Islamic laws and replacing them with a secular system, compulsory education and education for women. Considered a pioneer of national liberation and defender of peace, Ataturk was honored by the United Nations and UNESCO. Clearly, this film encourages a very dangerous supremacy, Islamism, terrorism, and pure hatred of all but their own Muslim sect.

Both the film and the review were a disgrace. I believe that, at the very least, McNamara, the L.A. Times, and, above all, PBS, owe a considerable retraction to the public. Garbage belongs in a landfill, not on television.
