We’ve gotten a number of queries regarding the corporeal status of Osama Bin Laden, given that Michael Ledeen, in Who’s An Iraqi?, reported that OBL croaked in December, yet he came out with an audiotape in January.
Here’s the deal.

THE ABRAMOFF MYSTERY |
|
|
|
Written by Dagny D'Anconia

Thursday, 26 January 2006 |
In this journalistic tour de force, Dagny d’Anconia reveals the astounding truth behind the Jack Abramoff scandal – and why Abramoff’s life may now be in danger. ---JW Jack Abramoff was a Republican lobbyist. In fact, he has become the media’s archetype for an evil, greedy, Republican super-lobbyist. So I ask you this: In this politically charged environment, and caught in a scandal, who would you get for a lawyer if you were Jack Abramoff? The answer of who he got will shock you: Jack Abramoff’s lawyer is one of the most powerful and trusted Democrat lawyers in the country. He is not just any lawyer. He is the lawyer that argued against Bill Clinton’s impeachment in the Senate. He has represented numerous infamous Democrats over the years. He is the ultimate Democrat insider for the Clintons. Common sense tells us Jack Abramoff never would have chosen that lawyer if he were free to choose. My conclusion is that the New York Clintons and/or Democrats made a deal with the New York Mafia to deliver the Abramoff scandal and thus the 2006/2008 elections. If this is true, then Jack Abramoff may soon have outlived his usefulness. He can no longer do lobbying. He will soon have done all the damage he could do to the Republicans. If the bad guys get a notion that he could come forward and tell the whole story, then they might do something to prevent it. They would try to make it either look like a suicide, or like a right-wing guy did it to punish him for his damage to the Republicans. Either story would be entirely plausible to the press, and yet another way to damage the Republicans. Thus he may soon become more useful dead than alive to them. Bringing out this story now, first, is my way to help prevent that from happening. |

BLACK DEMOCRAT POTS |

It was no way to treat a lady. Washington Post ombudswoman Deborah Howell wrote a column praising her paper for exposing lobbyist Jack Abramoff. She was deluged with so much obscene email from outraged liberals the Post had to shut down one of its Web sites.
Mr. Abramoff pled guilty earlier this month to defrauding his clients (Indian tribes who owned casinos) and the Internal Revenue Service.
Ms. Howell's critics were in high dudgeon over a distinction without a difference. In the 7th paragraph of her story lauding reporter Susan Schmidt, she wrote: "And (Abramoff) had made substantial contributions to both major parties."
"I heard that I was lying, that Democrats never got a penny of Abramoff-tainted money, that I was trying to say it was a bipartisan scandal," a stunned Ms. Howell wrote in her column last Sunday.
All of Mr. Abramoff's personal contributions went to Republicans. But the big money was what Mr. Abramoff directed his clients to contribute.

WHAT THE ARAB WORLD THINKS OF TORTURE |
|
|
|
Written by Brigitte Gabriel

Thursday, 26 January 2006 |
Torture is accepted and even expected in the Arab world. Might makes right. Arab men – not those nice Arab men you may know who have immigrated to America, but Arab men living in the Arab world – prove their manhood by the way they treat their enemy.
After all, it's what Mohammed did to the nonbelievers - Christians, Jews and Zoroastrians in the Koran - the 'holy book' allegedly mishandled in Guantanamo prison. Arab Moslem men gain honor by shaming, belittling, abusing and torturing their enemy in the most horrific ways.
As someone who came from the Arab world and knows how they think, it frustrates me to see self-appointed self-righteous politicians and media pundits, oblivious to Arabic culture and thinking, criticizing America's actions at Guantanamo.
Actually Gitmo is a joke as far as the Arabs are concerned. Prison? You call that a prison? You know what prisoners call Guantanamo among themselves? Al muntazah al-dini lilmujaheden al Moslemin, The Religious Resort for Islamic Militants.

The Syrian-Iranian terror alliance goes back a quarter-century, when Hezbollah was created to wage terror war against American and French forces in Lebanon.
There was a neat division of labor: Syria controlled the territory, and Iran ran the organization. Hezbollah's murderous successes are legendary, from the suicide bombings against the French and American Marine barracks to a similar operation against the American embassy, all in Beirut in 1983, to massive bombings of Jewish targets in Argentina in 1992. That alliance remains intact, and provides the base of the terror war in Iraq today.
Now the Iranians are concerned at signs of cracks in the edifice of the Assad regime. The Assad family's grip on Syria is weakening, and this is welcome news indeed, both for the long-suffering Syrian people and for us.
The Iranians are desperate to keep Assad in power, and Hezbollah armed to the teeth. Should things go the other way, Iran would lose its principal ally in the war against us in Iraq.

WHAT’S HANGING IN YOUR GALLERY? |

On the walls in our home we are putting up a bunch of pictures. We have pictures of our family, of trips we have been on together, parents, aunts, uncles, friends. My wife and I have spent some degree of time and energy selecting these pictures from literally boxes and boxes of pictures.
We select those pictures that we enjoy looking at, that remind us of important experiences, good times, and people whom we love at their best. In this way we honor those in our lives who matter to us, and we direct our focus upon people, things, and experiences that we would like to be reminded of often.
We don’t have pictures up of people who have been bad to us or hurt us in some way.
I want you to think for a moment of your own memory; the scenes that you see in your mind’s eye that remind you of your past experiences. Your memory is very much like your own personal, internal picture gallery.

POLITICAL NASDAQ - - January 20-26, 2006 |

On Friday (Jan. 20), Iran announced it would move its funds out of European banks, and commenced doing so. Back during the Iranian hostage crisis America froze Iranian assets and they were taking no chances of the Europeans repeating this.
This was also an attempt for Iran to flex its financial muscle, and show how weak the Western financial markets were. The net result was an economic assault on the West's stock markets.

Jack Wheeler has just received this latest email from Dennis “The Wizard” Turner:
Dear Jack,
In addition to being wrong about Sharon, Gaza, and Hamas, you’re also wrong about your disbelief in global warming.
You know that in the past, I have been just as skeptical as you, but unlike you, I can be persuaded by compelling and countervailing evidence. This Associated Press news story is as compelling as evidence can be that global warming is real:

SHOPPING AT THE WASHINGTON MALL |

Here’s a question: Would you go shopping for shoes at a grocery store?
Why not? Oh, yes, grocery stores don’t sell shoes. You only go to a particular store because it’s selling what you want to buy. You don’t go to a store that doesn’t sell what you want to buy. Right, boys and girls?
This Kindergarten lesson came to mind when I saw the Democrats over at the Library of Congress yesterday (January 18) ostentatiously signing what they called their “Declaration of Honest Leadership and Open Government.”

CONNECTING CHINESE DOTS |
|
|
|
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler
|
|
Thursday, 19 January 2006 |
It’s an interesting exercise to connect the dots between news stories – especially when the dots are hidden. Take the headline story appearing last Friday, China Gains $60 Billion in Foreign Investment in 2005. Reuters opened the story with this line:
BEIJING (Reuters), January 13, 2006 - China attracted more than $60 billion in foreign direct investment in 2005 for the second year in a row as firms flocked to take advantage of the country's low wages and fast-growing market of 1.3 billion people.
Every news outfit from the Financial Times to the Wall St. Journal to CNN crowed about how “foreign investors” and “multinationals” were pouring their money into China to get a piece of China’s “booming economy.” None of them revealed the story is a sham.
None of them told you that over half of that $60 billion in “foreign investment” is laundered money from China, not foreign investors.

THE WORLD’S STUPIDEST MILLIONAIRES |

The world’s wealthiest exiles are the Iranians – folks who fled Iran after Jimmy Carter betrayed the Shah and let him be overthrown by Ayatollah Khomeini. The Cubans who fled after Castro took over Cuba and amassed fortunes in Miami are financial pikers compared to the Iranians.
Cumulatively they are worth billions. There are thousands of millionaires among them. And they are the stupidest millionaires on the planet. Because of their stupidity, they now face the extinction of their country.

FROM AN EMBARRASSMENT TO A CATASTROPHE |

Bit by bit we are getting to the inevitable showdown with Iran. This administration, like every other Western government, has hoped against hope that it would not come to this.
President George W. Bush, for reasons good and bad, threw in with the Europeans' phony-negotiation scheme, even though he knew it would fail. Like the others, he hoped that revolution would erupt, and that decisive action on our part would not be necessary.
Like the others, he preferred not to face the hard fact that revolutions rarely succeed without external support. Had Ronald Reagan been around, he would have told W that the democratic revolution that ended the Cold War only finally succeeded when the United States supported it.

In an audiotape broadcast Thursday on al Jazeera, Osama bin Laden said al Qaeda is preparing to strike the United States again.
Last month Italian authorities arrested three Algerians with al Qaeda connections. They were plotting attacks on ships, railway stations and stadiums in the United States, said Interior Minister Giuseppe Pisanu.
Some Democrats think President Bush should be impeached for trying to keep them from succeeding. Like Al Gore.

Suppose you were appointed global economic czar, and your task was to bring the world's per capita income up to the level of Ireland – which is almost that of the US. Would you:
(A) Insist the world's rich nations transfer substantial wealth though massive foreign aid to the poor nations?
(B) Insist all nations adopt policies that would make them as economically free as the top 10 freest economies today?

THE POWER OF BENEVOLENCE |
|
|
|
Written by Dr. Joel Wade
|
|
Friday, 20 January 2006 |
I often speak of the importance of benevolence. I’d like to take today’s column to explain a bit more what I mean by this, and why it is important to your own happiness.
The way that I think of benevolence is this: it is the stance of striving as much as possible to see the people in your life as human beings, and not as things.
Imagine you’re busy and focused on a project that is very important for your work. Your wife says that she needs your help with dinner, she interrupts your work, and you feel distracted and annoyed. You snap at her, “Can’t you see I’m busy?” As you turn back to your work you think how rude she is, and why can’t she take care of dinner herself? Does she need your help with everything, for crying out loud?
In that moment you are not seeing the woman you love. You are seeing something that is interfering with what you are doing.
