Break!

I probably won’t be back ‘til the snow flies.
If at all …
I’ll check my emails sporadically though.
Take care!

Léo Ferré - avec le temps

The world - and especially Europe - changes at an incredible pace. European state governments ratify the EU Treaty against the will of the people. Germany did so two days ago. Being from Europe and looking back at it over my shoulder, feels like looking at a lost love. Truly lost!

Avec le temps...
Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
On oublie le visage et l'on oublie la voix
Le cœur, quand ça bat plus, c'est pas la peine d'aller
Chercher plus loin, faut laisser faire et c'est très bien

Avec le temps...
Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
L'autre qu'on adorait, qu'on cherchait sous la pluie
L'autre qu'on devinait au détour d'un regard
Entre les mots, entre les lignes et sous le fard
D'un serment maquillé qui s'en va faire sa nuit
Avec le temps tout s'évanouit

Avec le temps...
Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
Même les plus chouettes souv'nirs ça t'as une de ces gueules
A la galerie j'farfouille dans les rayons d'la mort
Le samedi soir quand la tendresse s'en va toute seule

Avec le temps...
Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
L'autre à qui l'on croyait pour un rhume, pour un rien
L'autre à qui l'on donnait du vent et des bijoux
Pour qui l'on eût vendu son âme pour quelques sous
Devant quoi l'on s'traînait comme traînent les chiens
Avec le temps, va, tout va bien

Avec le temps...
Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
On oublie les passions et l'on oublie les voix
Qui vous disaient tout bas les mots des pauvres gens
Ne rentre pas trop tard, surtout ne prends pas froid

Avec le temps...
Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
Et l'on se sent blanchi comme un cheval fourbu
Et l'on se sent glacé dans un lit de hasard
Et l'on se sent tout seul peut-être mais peinard
Et l'on se sent floué par les années perdues
Alors vraiment... avec le temps... on n'aime plus

Ich glaub’, der Zug kommt

An manchen Tagen beginnt der Morgen mit einem breiten Grinsen. In diesem, heutigen Fall, liegt die Verantwortung dafuer eindeutig beim Baron von Gates of Vienna:

Ich glaub’, der Zug kommt
von Baron Bodissey
Aktuelle Ereignisse haben mich dazu inspiriert, eine Reihe von Kurzdramen zu schreiben, deren jedes aus einem Dialog zwischen Baron Bodissey und Herrn “Gespraechsbereit”, dem (kuerzlich verstorbenen) grossen Schmierenkomoedianten besteht. Buehnenbild: Draussen, in der einsamen Praerie sehen wir Herrn Dialogpartner inmitten der Eisenbahnschienen stehen, waehrend Baron Bodissey aus der Naehe zusieht.

Szenario #1
Baron B.: Pass auf! Eine grosse Dampflok rast auf dich zu!

Herr G.: Du darfst nicht vergessen, dass nicht alle Dampfloks schlecht sind.

Baron B.: Aber diese da zerschmettert dich gleich …

Herr G.: Und ausserdem, was hast du gegen Dampf? Bist du etwa ein Verfechter des Benzins?

Baron B.: Ich —

Herr G.: Du must vorsichtig sein, die Leute koennten meinen, du seist ein Benzinverfechter, selbst wenn du keiner bist.

Baron B.: Warte —

Herr G.: Vor allem, wenn du mit Krypto-Dieselisten zusammenarbeitest.

Baron B.: Oh, nein…

Herr G.: SPLATSCH!

Scenario #2

Baron B.: Pass auf, ein Zug rast auf dich zu!

Herr G.: Bist du etwa Befuerworter eines Zugungluecks?

Baron B.: Nein, ich will nur -

Herr G.: Allein die Beschreibung eines Zugungluecks, oeffnet der Empfehlung eines solchen, Tuer und Tor.

Baron B.: Ey, Mann, schau hinter dich!

Herr G.: Warum sollte ich? Damit wuerde ich dir und deinen Kumpanen doch nur Glaubwuerdigkeit verleihen.

(Pfeifen einer Lokomotive aus naechster Naehe)

Herr G.: Schrei mich nicht an!

Baron B.: Oh weh!

Herr G.: SPLOTSCH!

Scenario #2,115,282- - - - - - - - -

Baron B.: Geh’ von den Gleisen runter! Ein Zug kommt!

Herr G.: Welche Art Zug?

Baron B.: Ein sehr schneller.

Herr G.: Es ist von hoechster Wichtigkeit, zwischen radikalen Zuegen und moderaten Zuegen zu unterscheiden.

Baron B.: Zu viel Dampf. Ich kann den Unterschied nicht sehen.

Lokfuehrer aus dem Off: (Sehr laut) Geh von den Gleisen, Bloedmann!

Herr G.: Aah, wunderbar! Ich begruesse diesen Dialog …

Baron B.: Oh, neiiin —

Herr G.: BLORF!

Ich habe einige Millionen von diesen. Aber ich denke, Ihr versteht die allgemeine Richtung meines Schaffens.
Schreiber zusaetzlicher Szenarien sind willkommen!

Europaeische Maenner stinken Charles Johnson!

Neues von (einem sehr stinkigen) Charles Johnson (Photo), dem differenzierten und erleuchteten Anti-Rassisten und Inhaber von "Little Green Footballs" in diesem Kommentar auf seinem eigenen Blog:

"Kein Gestank kommt dem franzoesischen Gestank gleich. Nicht die Frauen. Die riechen wunderbar. Aber manche franzoesischen Maenner, oooh! Ich war mal auf Tournee in Frankreich und die Band wurde vom Flughafen abgeholt und zum Hotel gefahren. Der franzoesische Fahrer dieses Wagens hatte einen Koerpergeruch, der uns (ohne Uebertreibung) die Traenen in die Augen trieb. [...] Wir stoehnten und rangen nach Luft. Einige Bandmitglieder hatten ihre Frauen auf dem Trip dabei und die hielten sich Tuecher vors Gesicht. Dabei waren alle Fenster offen. Es war eine einstuendige Fahrt zum Hotel. Das werde ich nie vergessen."

Da koennen wir doch alle heilfroh sein, dass Charles Johnson kein primitiver Rassist ist!

Er ist der einzige Amerikaner, den ich kenne, der seine Ueberheblichkeit so hasserfuellt, in dieser Vehemenz und mit dieser veraechtlichen Attituede ueber alles Europaeische ausgiesst. In seiner Verachtung der Europaeer waere er ein idealer Partner fuer europaeische Linke und 68er.

Koennen meine deutschen Leser da vielleicht was drehen? Parteimitgliedschaft bei den Gruenen oder so? Man erinnere sich nur an Johnsons Kommentare zur Bruesseler Konferenz und dem europaeischen Counterjihad!

Aber sein speichelleckendes Publikum faellt taeglich vor Eifer ueber die eigenen Fuesse um Meister Johnson seiner Verehrung zu versichern.

Lionheart Returns to England

I just wanted to keep my readers updated on Lionheart. Dymphna over at Gates of Vienna has written an extensive article on Paul's return to England. Contrary to his initial intention to apply for political asylum in the US, Paul has returned to his native land.

Dymphna writes: "Paul eventually found it would take over a year to do the processing, with no guarantee he would be accepted. He never quite got around to filling out the papers, and his heart was longing for home.I confess that his decision to return made me angry and depressed. I had invested so much in the notion of his safety that it felt as though he was Daniel returning to the lion’s den. However, I also told him he was every bit as immovable as the saint whose name he carries: Saint Paul was quite stubborn — as you can see on reading his Epistles. Our modern Paul should take up tent-making just to keep the story congruent with the letters to the early church.As he flew back to England, having found a place to stay, I will admit I shed a few tears of frustration, abandonment, etc. In addition, I knew the people in South Carolina who had taken him in were distressed, too. We all feared for him.The fact is that Paul’s departure left a cloud of depression on everything. I knew I would continue to support him as I’d outlined in my covenant to him, but my heart had gone out of it."

New Iranian Rockets Threaten Israel

With Iranian backing, Hezbollah guerrillas have dramatically increased their rocket range and can now threaten most of Israel, senior Israeli defense officials said. The Lebanese group has acquired new Iranian rockets with a range of about 185 miles, the officials said Wednesday. That means the guerrillas can hit anywhere in Israel's heavily populated center and reach as far south as Dimona, where Israel's nuclear reactor is located. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to divulge the confidential intelligence assessment to the media. When Israel and Hezbollah fought a monthlong war in 2006, Hezbollah fired nearly 4,000 rockets into Israel. The longest-range rockets fired, which Israel said were Iranian-made, hit some 45 miles inside Israel. Although Israel's air force managed to take out most of the group's long-range rockets, the military failed throughout the war to halt the short-range rocket fire that paralyzed northern Israel and killed 40 Israeli civilians. After the war, the U.N. dispatched a peacekeeping force to distance Hezbollah from the border and prevent the group from rearming. But Israel says Hezbollah's Iranian and Syrian patrons have steadily provided the group with large amounts of rockets since then, many of them capable of hitting central Israel. (source AP)

Rome will become "an advanced post for the Islamic conquests"

These are the enemies of Freedom that former president Dhimmah Carter and present Madame Speaker Nancy Pelosi of the party of moral equivalence aid and abet against our friends in Israel:

A sermon last Friday by a prominent Muslim cleric and Hamas member of the Palestinian parliament openly declared that "the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital," would soon be conquered by Islam.

The fiery sermon, delivered by Yunis al-Astal and aired on Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV, predicted that Rome would become "an advanced post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread though Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, even Eastern Europe."

"Allah has chosen you for Himself and for His religion," al-Astal preached, "so that you will serve as the engine pulling this nation to the phase of succession, security and consolidation of power, and even to conquests through da'wa and military conquests of the capitals of the entire world.
"Very soon, Allah willing, Rome will be conquered, just like Constantinople was, as was prophesized by our prophet Muhammad," he added.
Al-Astal last June preached how it was the duty of Palestinian women to martyr themselves by becoming homicide bombers.
"The most exalted form of jihad is fighting for the sake of Allah, which means sacrificing one's soul by fighting the enemies head-on, even if it leads to martyrdom," he said in a June 23, 2007 interview.

"When jihad becomes an individual duty, it applies to women too, because women do not differ from men when it comes to individual duties," he said, calling Jews "the brothers of apes and pigs" who should "taste the bitterness of death."
Friday's rant repeated that theme: "Today, Rome is the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital, which has declared its hostility to Islam, and has planted the brothers of apes and pigs in Palestine in order to prevent the reawakening of Islam.
"I believe that our children, or our grandchildren, will inherit our jihad and our sacrifices, and, Allah willing, the commanders of the conquest will come from among them.

"Today, we instill these good tidings in their souls – and by means of the mosques and the Koran books, and the history of our Prophets, his companions, and the great leaders, we prepare them for the mission of saving humanity from the hellfire at whose brink they stand." (Source: FoxNews)

What Is Going On in Zimbabwe?

In the past months I have written repeatedly about the bloody borders of the African Ummah, i.e. muslim territories like Somalia, Sudan, Kenya, Chad. When you look at the map on the right (click to enlarge!), you can see those lines very clearly.
I think the African continent is up for grabs by muslim imperialism, especially of the Saudi-Arabian variety. The wealth of Africa in the hands of Islam will make supply of raw materials even more difficult and insecure than it already is with the crude oil situation. The MSM hardly ever look at African troubles under that aspect, as it would allegedly not be politically correct to do so.

Now, a subject that has been in the MSM spotlights for two weeks, Zimbabwe and its ruler Mugabe, seem to be officially far removed from efforts of islamization and the failed policies of Mugabe and his thugs seem to be enough, to doom that poor country.

Facts are:

“A former British colony, Zimbabwe is currently in dire straits.
The country's first ten to fifteen years as an independent and sovereign entity
were marked by a booming economy, ethnic harmony, a transparent and largely
accountable system of law and order, a world-class tourist industry and a
comparatively efficient government bureaucracy. It was, in short, a successful
state that was widely hailed as a model for post-colonial stability and racial
reconciliation.By 2004, however, Zimbabwe had an external debt burden of some
US$6 billion, one of the highest inflation rates in the world (roughly 622% at
the time of writing), a full 70 percent of the country living under the poverty
line, chronic shortages of everything from gasoline to toothpaste tubes, a
HIV/AIDS epidemic that afflicts nearly 1/3 of the population and a life
expectancy of just 34 years. The government presently pays little regard to
freedom of the press, routinely ignores rulings from the Supreme Court and
systematically uses terror and violence to maintain power.” (source: Jamestown
Foundation, 2005)

Nevertheless, it made me look twice, when I saw that roughly ten percent of the Zimbabwean population is muslim. That is never without negative consequences for the country involved. So, after a lot of digging, I found the Jamestown Foundation report, quoted above and would like to republish some of its findings here. Astonishingly enough, after the time of the publication of that report, there is NOTHING MORE about the subject, wherever I looked. So I ask my readers for help in investigating what is actually going on in Zimbabwe. Maybe, together we can find out more about further developments in and around that country between the publication date of the Jamestown report and today. Here are some more paragraphs of the report, which you will find in its entirety HERE:

"Zimbabwe and al-Qaeda?Do these deleterious conditions hold a
realistic potential for harboring or otherwise facilitating an al-Qaeda
presence? Operationally, it would seem unlikely that Zimbabwe would serve as a
major focus of activity. There are few symbolic political or economic targets of
worth to attack, western tourists are now almost non-existent and civilian
deaths – in a country already marked by human suffering of major proportions –
are unlikely to elicit major international attention. If al-Qaeda were to decide
on a campaign of terror in this part of Africa, South Africa would seem to be a
far more logical and operationally relevant choice. Indeed in August of this
year, several Islamist militants who were reportedly planning a series of
attacks in the country were seized in Pakistan. According to law enforcement
sources in Gujrat who carried out the arrests, the detainees were captured with
maps and plans allegedly detailing strikes against various high profile targets
including the Johannesburg stock exchange, the Sheraton Hotel and U.S. Embassy
in Pretoria, the national Parliament, a waterfront tourist complex in Cape Town
and, reportedly, the Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE 2) cruise ship while it was docked at
the Port of Durban. [2]
[…]
The possibility of a logistical link emerging
between Islamist extremism and Zimbabwe has been the subject of a degree of
speculation since 9/11. According to Kroll Associates, a prominent U.S.-based
risk consultancy service, there is some evidence to suggest that diamonds
procured from the DRC are being traded via Lebanese traders linked to
al-Qaeda.[6] Investigative journalists in South Africa have also periodically
hinted that Bin Laden has specifically sought to establish a logistical base in
Zimbabwe – possibly on some of the large, remote land-holdings appropriated from
white farmers in Mashonaland – and that his second-in command, Ayman al-Zawhiri
has traveled to the country on at least two occasions to facilitate such an
arrangement. [7] Finally, regional commentators have occasionally averred to the
possibility of Zimbabwe (and other neighboring states) acting as a sub-Saharan
"way-station" for a militant East African Muslim network that connects cadres
from the Persian Gulf to Cape Town.[8]"
