As Turkey Trots Off To The Islamist Wilderness, Israel And Cyprus Smooch In The Back Seat...

Netanyahu to discuss energy exploration in Cyprus visit.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will travel to Cyprus tomorrow for a one-day visit. This will be the first official prime ministerial visit the island. Energy and possible cooperation on natural gas explorations in the eastern Mediterranean are expected to dominate the agenda. According to a report in the Jerusalem Post, Netanyahu will discuss the possibility of building a gas pipeline to Cyprus, from which Israeli gas could be exported to Europe.

While tense ties between Israel and Turkey have undoubtedly done much to improve Israeli-Cypriot ties, one Israeli official quoted in the Jerusalem Post indicated that there were now enough “positive reasons” for the countries to co-operate “without bringing in a third party as the catalyst.”

A weary looking Netanyahu... and who wouldn't be.

Recently, Cyprus played a key role in efforts to thwart a protest flotilla that wanted to set sail for Gaza, consistently refusing to let those ships set sail from its ports. Nicosia also sent a helicopter and plane to Israel in December 2010 to help fight the Carmel Forest fire. Last July, Israel reciprocated by dispatching 10 generators to the island to relieve an electricity shortage caused when confiscated Iranian armaments at a navy base exploded and knocked out one of the country’s main power stations.

Netanyahu’s visit comes just under a year after Cypriot President Dimitris Christofias came to Israel, in the first visit by a Cypriot head of state in 11 years. (BICOM) (Photo:Copyright Control).

The Enemy Within: King Keeping Them ALL In His Sights!

Unlike many who are entrusted with Office and are apologists, suckered or just plain not up to the job; King has never been taken in by CAIR or the other Islamist front operations who are a real enemy within.

King Releases Homeland Panel Priorities for 2012 

By CQ Staff

House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter T. King released a list of his priorities for the panel in the coming year, leading off with one of its most controversial hearing topics from 2011: Muslim radicalization in America.

The New York Republican’s series of domestic radicalization hearings, which covered topics including terrorist recruiting on the Internet and in prisons, as well as the role of Muslim community leaders and organizations in speaking out against violence. The sessions drew criticism from panel Democrats, civil liberties organizations and Muslim advocacy groups. King and several of his fellow GOP panelists, however, called them productive and Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Joseph I. Lieberman, I-Conn., agreed to hold a joint hearing in December on the potential threat of radicalization among members of the U.S. military.

“In 2012, we will continue the Committee’s focus on critical counterterrorism issues, just as I promised to do when I was selected as chairman,” King said. “The series of radicalization hearings I convened last March has been very productive, and I will definitely continue the hearings in 2012. The committee will also examine a number of additional homeland security issues and will move legislation necessary to secure our homeland from the terrorists who continue to plot attacks against us.” 

Peter T. King.
Chairman of the United States House
Committee on Homeland Security.

His office said that legislation will include bills covering authorization for the Department of Homeland Security and its components — a goal the chairman has set in previous years — and cybersecurity. The House Homeland subcommittee that handles cybersecurity approved a bill (HR 3674) from its chairman, California Republican Dan Lungren, earlier this month. 

King’s other priorities are:

Studying the presence and activities in the United States of Iran’s intelligence services, as well as groups such as Hezbollah and al Qaeda. 

 

Probing money from Islamist groups that comes into the United States.

 

Examining potential leaks of classified information regarding sensitive counterterrorism operations.

 

Obtaining Purple Heart medals for military servicemembers hurt of killed during the 2009 shooting attacks at Fort Hood, Texas, and at recruiting stations. Currently, those events are considered criminal matters under military policy and ineligibles for Purple Hearts, as King’s and Lieberman’s committees discussed last year.

 

Investigating the possible roles that the deceased al-Qaeda head Anwar al-Awlaki and current seniors leaders Daoud Chehazeh and Eyad al-Rababah, may have played the attacks of September 11, 2001.

 

Studying security preparations for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

 

Assessing whether enemy veterans of conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia pose dangers to the U.S. homeland.

Legless In Bangkok...

An Iranian man carrying explosives blew off his own legs and wounded four other people in two blasts Tuesday in Bangkok, Thai authorities said. Security forces found more explosives in the assailant's rented house in the capital, but it was not known what targets they might have been meant for, Police Gen. Pansiri Prapawat said (AP).

Egypt: Loads Of Green Backs, Yes...Democratic Demons, Nope!

Stoking tensions with Washington, an Egyptian Cabinet minister has accused the United States of directly funding nonprofit groups to create chaos in the country following last year's ouster of longtime leader and U.S. ally Hosni Mubarak, according to comments published in state-owned newspapers on Tuesday (AP).

No jokin' ... it was this big, wet and slippery...
and twice as long as a mad mullah's beard!

Er...the "non profit groups" have been trying to sell you Arab Springers the quaint old idea of democracy. I know...that somehow doesn't cut it with the Muslim Brotherhood and other 7th century adherents. As for the "to create chaos" bit; well we Westies are but amatures in any competition with you Muslim tossers!

The Morally Bankrupt Greens And Galloping Hypocrisy!

The speech  below, was given by Kelly O'Dwyer an Australian Legislator in the House of Representatives:  

"In Australia during this time one must ask the questions 'Who stands conspicuously quiet? Who stands silent while these human rights are abused?' ....  It is ... the Greens, those people who suggest that they are the champions of human rights and the keepers of the moral chalice, those professed keepers of all that is right and ethical. Where, I ask you, is Senator Brown in condemning these actions? Where is Senator Hanson-Young on her soapbox demanding justice? Where is the member for Melbourne, Adam Bandt, in this chamber supporting this motion? Where are the Greens protests in the streets? Most importantly, given all that we have learned about the Boycott, Divestments and Sanctions scheme that grew from the Greens' local council movement in Marrickville, where are the calls for the boycotts of Iranian companies or even of Syrian ones, to be truly consistent? No, all that is simply reserved for Israel.

Interestingly, the Greens also profess to be strong champions of human rights, particularly for those who are homosexual. Yet it is the country of Israel, the only democracy in the region, that legislates rights for women and homosexuals. In fact, in a recent poll conducted by GayCities.com in conjunction with American Airlines, Tel Aviv was rated the best gay travel destination of 2011. Yet here the Greens condemn Israel and not Iran.

Another of the Greens and Lefties' heroes:
Iran's Genie of Genocide.

Could you imagine if the Prime Minister of Israel had prayed for the ‘annihilation’ of the Palestinians? How many motions would the Greens have moved by now? How many press releases, demonstrations and media conferences would they have called? I conducted a search on the Greens' website. I typed ‘Iran’ into their search feature, 23 results were returned and in those results there was not one mention—not one, single, solitary mention—of the atrocities that have taken place, of the abhorrent preachings of the President of Iran or of the blatant human rights abuses posed against ethnic minorities, women and homosexuals. However, if you type in ‘Israel’ you will find pages and pages and pages—in particular pages as to how you can be involved as well in the BDS movement. This is a truly sad state of affairs and it is of great concern in particular to me that the Greens do not stand with us in this chamber against such violence against human rights workers, women’s rights activists, journalists and government opponents.

The Greens seem to quote the UN when it suits them and ignore them when it does not conform to their agenda. And make no mistake: the Greens' agenda on Israel is well and truly on show. It is incumbent upon all of us who, at times, take our freedoms for granted to stand up for those who do not share the same freedoms. I call on all members of this parliament, including the Greens - including Senator Bob Brown - to support this motion and to highlight the atrocities and depravity of the Iranian government and to stand up for the fact that these depravities must come to an end. For too long we have turned a blind eye to the signs that have been staring us in the face, and we must not accept what is unacceptable. I call on the Greens to stand with us in this chamber and support the human rights that are being abused in Iran and to make a very strong and public statement about it.” (Photo: Copyright Control).

Well said, but it's certainly no surprise to me that the Greens, Radical Left and Radical Islam are all bathing in the same pus-pot together!

Kos: A Greek Island In The Med or A Mag On Meds?

Eric Allen Bell: when not making films and blogging, bought a new pair of metal tipped boots and knows they're not for just cracking walnuts...

Kos Correctional aka  Bloger's bang-up suite.

Last October when, after having written numerous blogs for The Daily Kos, a liberal blog with an estimated readership of over 1 million visitors per day, they came for me – the dreaded “Kossacks” those registered Daily Kos readers who log on to offer “constructive criticism” of the blogs.

To learn more about my eventual exile from the liberal blogosphere and how I turned to the dark side, please read “The High Cost of Telling the Truth About Islam”.  They say a Conservative is a Liberal who got mugged.  But what do you call a Liberal who was tarred and feathered, then publicly stoned (I’m pretty sure a privately stoned Liberal is now simply called a “Ron Paul supporter”), sent before a firing squad of Taqiyya trained Islamofacists who fire rounds of deceptive chapter and verse – quoted from the psychotic ramblings of some ancient desert psychopath, then pounded by the meat grinder of his own conscience and finally sent to a Halal butcher to be slaughtered by Islamophobia watchdog sites such as Loonwach.com and CAIR?  Well, whatever that is, that’s me.  So glad we have this time together...

Now...please do, having dipped yer wee toe in the Med, take the full plunge below:
