			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An Australian guy named<strong> Fritz Muhammad</strong> just issued  recently a <strong>death sentence</strong> on a Dutch politician.   <strong>His web site is kalamullah.com   </strong></p>
<p><strong>The reason given  by Fritz M. is that the Dutch politician  &#8220;mocked&#8221; and &#8220;laughed&#8221;  at  Islam and the Prophet. </p>
<p>Oops! No laughter at &#8220;real&#8221; religion?<br />
</strong></p>
<p>What did the Dutch politician do?  He said that Islam religion and political ideology  are  &#8220;retarded&#8221;.  He and his party do not support more Islamic immigrants to Holland.</p>
<p> According to  radical Islamist Australian   Fritz M., &#8212; an Australian citizen working on a Ph.D. &#8212; the Dutch politician should be<strong> be-headed. </strong></p>
<p> And thus Fritz M. issued  a death sentence  on the Dutch politician. </p>
<p>Frankly, I think that  Australian Fritz M. should work on be-heading small creatures such as fleas and ants.  And then work up to be-heading his personal nails.  </p>
<p><strong>I say it is time that  moderate Christians, Jews and Islams unite.  Is this possible?  </strong></p>
<p><strong>Let&#8217;s laugh and make fun of people like Fritz M. <strong> No, not make fun of Islam.  Make fun of Fritz M. who wants to use Islam for his purposes. </strong></p>
<p>So what do you say Fritz M.?  If anyone wants to Comment on his web site they MUST leave an e-mail.  Not here.  Say what you like here.  And, no &#8220;be-heading&#8221; will be recommended.  </p>
<p><strong>Fritz M&#8217;s web site is:  kalamullah.com</strong></p>

<p>A radical Muslim preacher, Feiz Muhammad, speaking on a members-only jihadist website,  called on Dutch radical Muslims (are there any other ones?) to decapitate Mr Wilders because he was “humiliating Islam”.</p>
<p>An interview with Mr Wilders recorded in June was aired by SBS TV in Australia on Sunday. He called Islamic culture “retarded” and “violent”.</p>
<p>The Dutch intelligence service (AIVD) possesses a copy of the imam’s speech. Intelligence sources say <strong>Feiz Muhammad is considered on a par with US Muslim preacher Anwar al-Awlaki,</strong> who is seen as the brains behind a failed attack on a plane flying over Detroit.</p>
<p>Mr Wilders told daily De Telegraaf, which published a recording of the speech on its website, that he is shocked by the death threat.</p>
<p><strong>Mr Wilders’ Freedom Party wants to restrict immigration from Islamic countries and considers Islam a violent ideology rather than a religion. </strong>The Freedom Party is currently involved in protracted negotiations to support a minority centre-right government of free-market liberals and Christian Democrats.</p>

<p>We reported:</p>
<p>Mr Muhammad said, “Seeing this evil filth from people like that dirty politician… <strong>In Islam, anyone that mocks Islam, anyone that laughs about Islam, degrades Islam, the punishment whether he is a Muslim or a non-Muslim, the punishment of mocking Islam is death. (…) If he did this, if it’s been confirmed, behead him, chop his head off.”<br />

Shocked:</p>

<p>Mr Wilders told daily De Telegraaf, which published a recording of the speech on its website, that he is shocked by the death threat. He got in touch with the Netherlands’ anti-terror czar, Erik Akerboom on Thursday. “I want to know right away why the AIVD and the anti-terrorism co-ordinator never told me about this threat.”</p>

Too small? Click hereThis is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn&#8217;t for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn&#8217;t even know its happening.We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don&#8217;t accuse us of being &#8216;haters&#8217; because we are loving, tolerant people. Don&#8217;t curse us, don&#8217;t threaten us with death or hellfire, and don&#8217;t accuse us of being &#8220;just like the terrorists&#8221; because we don&#8217;t do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but  you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way&#8230;But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted.Try to add to the discussion, don&#8217;t try to sell snake oil, don&#8217;t try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, write in English, try to tell the truth, (we know that&#8217;s hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it!One more thing: don&#8217;t think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display.But you won&#8217;t be back, trust me on that.Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank.

Show this filth how its done try it on his head. Stop these barbarians before these filthy muslimes destroy the world.</p>
<p>kaw September 3, 2010 at 11:28 am<br />
I wonder why muslims are so selective about what they understand as being offensive speech. feiz, islam is retarded and you are a good example. You are a moron, which is why the only thing you can do is rant rubbish, that you don’t understand, to other muslims, some of whom, unfortunately, are dumber than you. A message to you from the free world feiz – go and commit seppuku – however you have a minute fraction of the courage of the Samurai so I doubt that you have the balls.</p>
<p>Mullah Lodabullah September 3, 2010 at 1:35 pm<br />
Geert is being prosecuted for drawing attention to stuff like the imam is spouting, and the Dutch authorities do … nothing. They like having their heads left attached.</p>
<p>Mullah Lodabullah September 3, 2010 at 1:37 pm<br />
Holland gets Geert Wilders – we get Bob Brown, pulling Julia’s strings for the next three years (?).</p>
<p>al-Kidya September 3, 2010 at 1:40 pm<br />
Tit-4-Tat…</p>
<p>I declare this Fatwa for the beheading of Feiz Muhammad.<br />
How do you like me now, jerg-off!</p>
<p>al-Kidya September 3, 2010 at 1:49 pm<br />
Idon’t wish for his beheading…that would just prove that I am as violent as that nutcase.<br />
No, I would like his brain replaced with one with a higher IQ and more passive. It’s just too bad medical science hasn’t solved that problem.</p>

<p>A sleepy lizard?</p>

Mullah,<br />
Sleepy lizards are intelligent. I would even say that the replacement of his brain with that of a dead slug would result in an almost infinite increase in I.Q..</p>

Hi people, friends in despair over how our culture is being threatened and eroded bit. I have just finished Brigitte Gabriel’s excellent and super well researched and documented (almost every sentence comes with a reference note) book They Must Be Stopped.</p>
<p>Give it to anyone who ever starts spouting about “tiny minority” “let them have their innocent mosque” and “but the Old Testament is violent too” if you can’t be arsed to spend two hours every day patiently explaining to them what’s really going on.</p>
<p>Anyway, in her book Brigitte (after having used the term herself, admittedly) questions the term “radical Islam.” She says, and it’s true, what people like this guy is addicted to is just ISLAM. Pure Islam. At the end of the book she calls it that. I think we should too. It’s just islam and doesn’t deserve a capital i.</p>
<p>huddie September 3, 2010 at 3:57 pm<br />
Shoot the son of a bitch on sight. Muslims have no place in our society. The sooner we rid this world of these shit eating swines, the better off this world will be.</p>
<p>Cecilie September 3, 2010 at 4:24 pm<br />
Huddie – there, there. Don’t stoop to their level and all that. We must get rid of them to be sure, but shooting will only dirty our hands. It is true they have no place in our society, but let’s do it by relentless expulsion and deportation.</p>
<p>For example, we could demand that the law enforcement apparatus in place in our democratic societies swing into action and actually treat everyone the same according to the law, for example by prosecuting everyone who spouts “hate-speech,” not only those who, like Wilders, quote passages from the koran …</p>

<p>‘No, I would like his brain replaced with one with a higher IQ ‘<br />
His what ?</p>
<p>Cecile</p>
<p>‘dirty your hands …………….’</p>
<p>I don’t think killing someone to protect yourself / your society is dirtying your hands .<br />
If you did it for that reason , I don’t think it<br />
is going down to their level .<br />
There’s a big difference between killing because someone doesn’t share your beliefs and killing to protect yourself<br />
Anyway , that’s just my little comment – we’re on the same side of course</p>
<p>Mullah Lodabullah September 3, 2010 at 7:44 pm<br />
* ‘No, I would like his brain replaced with one with a higher IQ ‘<br />

<p>Thanks persikas, I needed a good laugh! <img src='http://freedomok.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Got a problem? Off with their head says the Queen of Hearts.</p>
<p>These totalitarian views held by the madmen of Islam are those of crazy people. When Lewis Carol wrote Alice in Wonderland, he was poking fun about people like that, and it is said wrote it when smoking those funny cigarettes. Be that as it may, there is always an element of truth in all insanity.</p>
<p>The Truth about Islam is they really do these horrendous things. They will not stand for any dialogue. So all you stupid politicians, take note – we are not dealing with normal people. Rachael Woodlock may be living an Arabian fantasy at Monash University (paid for by us) telling us the Muslims only want to love us. What a stupid woman. What a stupid woman, misguided by her studies of Islam. She is only a tool for the true Muslim agenda. Where do these Aussie chicks get off with this treasonous behaviour within the country who fosters her education and then behaves like a teenager, giggling and wetting her pants. She welcomes the appointment of mad Iman’s into our country. Read her speeches and check the website.</p>
<p>She and others like her such as “Aussie Chick” from Mudgee NSW, who thinks Osama bin Laden wanted her for his wife. Her name is “Mother of Mohomad” not the mad Mohomad but her son by that name. Aren’t they quaint? She is living in our south western Sydney suburbs, dressed in the full black tent, and is number 1 on the Asio most watched female in our country. She should be charged with treason too. They can only bring us all down and this is their aim while accepting Centrelink payments for herself and her four or five kids. Get back to Arabia. There is no place for these idiots in our fair land.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Heard of the Jizziva?</strong><br />
  That is the tax that Christians and Jews must pay as non-Muslims. </p>
<p>Though higher up than Buddhists and Hindus,  Christians and Jews are to be subjugated and humiliated by the Jizzia tax imposed on them by Muslims. Christians and Jews are second class citizens and treated as such.   </p>
<p>Think that Muslims are peace loving?  With non-Muslims a Muslim passes the peace by saying peace to those who follow the right way &#8212; which is of course the Muslim way. There is only one right way &#8212; the Muslim way of course.  </p>
<p>Wake up and find out what Islamic religious leaders are preaching in your back yard. <span id="more-2728"></span></p>
<p><strong>The following is from MyVworld.com and written by a single woman who lives in Colorado:<br />
</strong><br />
&#8220;Did you know?<br />
&#8220;Islam is not only a religious philosophy but also is a political ideology.</p>
<p>Jihadists are not a minority of the Islamic community and moderate Muslims deny that Jihadists exist as a majority of their community.</p>
<p>&#8220;Radical Muslim leaders use the teaching of the Qur’an (Koran) to establish Islamic law for the world and to justify violence.</p>
<p>The Qur’an (Koran) says the prophet Mohammed is the excellent example of conduct and demonstrates an exalted standard of behavior and whoever obeys Mohammed, obeys Allah.</p>
<p>Child marriage according to Islamic tradition, recorded by the Haddith by the Muham Idari, states his favorite wife was only 6 and Muhammed consumated his marriage when she was 9. </p>
<p>Note, this is not said to condemn the historical acts of Muhammed because this was acceptable behavior during this time but because Muslim’s use his actions as examples of the highest standards of conduct in the Islamic religion then it is considered to be acceptable behavior right now. </p>
<p>&#8220;An example of how this example of behavior is being used today is that in current day<strong> Yemin they wanted to abolish the minium age of legal marriage from 15 to 9. Another example of this, in 2002, when researchers entered the refugee camps in Afghanistan found 2 out of 3 girls in second grade were already married because of Muhammed’s example of conduct.</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Islamic religion is not spread by the sword because when a country is conquered they don’t mandate conversion to the Islamic religion but <strong>Islamic Law is spread by the sword because they do mandate Muslims as superior and all others who are not Muslims are second class and inferior. </strong>In other words you have to join the ‘club’ to be considered ‘good enough’.</p>
<p><strong>The greeting you hear in Islam is “Peace be upon you” but did you know Muslims are directed to use this saying only with another Muslim because you cannot wish Peach upon a non-Muslim. </strong></p>
<p><strong>The greeting Muslims use with non-Muslims is “Peace be upon those who follow the right guidance.” In other words, peace again to people who follow the right guidance, i.e., Muslims.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Only two times a Muslim should enter into a PEACE TREATY according to Islamic Law:</strong></p>
<p>Muslims are weak and need to time to recover.</p>
<p>If they have a reasonable expectation is their foes will become Muslim</p>
<p>Negotiaters fail to realize Muslim Jihadi terroists use these strategies. We should respect our enemies enough to understand why they are doing what they are doing. And truly <strong>understand there is no basis in Islamic law for a treaty for peaceful co-existence.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Chief enabler as terrosim around the world is an ally of the US, Saudi Arabia.</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Billions of dollars of US aid goes to countries like Egypt and Pakistan who allow the Mosques and schools to teach anti-western views and hate of Americans, Christians, and Jews. They are working according to these principles and goals — why do we still give them money!</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;There is no comprehensive effort to combat Jihaddist philosophy in the US Mosques.</strong></p>
<p>There is no greater deed than Jihad and by doing this you atone for all your bad deeds.</p>
<p><strong>Jihad = warfare against the non-believers — is not spiritual warfare.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Jizzia is part of the political arm of Islam. Jizzia in Sharia law in a Muslim country is a taxation for all non-muslims. According to the Quran, “They shall pay a jizzia. By an upper hand may they be subjugated and humiliated.” </strong></p>
<p><strong>Christians and Jews are protected people because they believe in the ‘book’ but are not equal to Muslims and must be ’subjugated and humiliated’. </strong></p>
<p>However, Hindus and Buddahists have it worse because they are not people of the book.</p>
<p><strong>Radical Muslim’s around the world want to replace the western governments and the US Constitution with Islamic Sharia Law.<br />
</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;<strong>Three choices offered to enemies: conversion, subjecation, or war. These are not “old” philosphies but are quoted and invoked by Islamic leaders today. </strong></p>
<p>The idealogies of the past are not rejectted but are being used to confornt moderate Muslims today to follow these prinicples.</p>
<p><strong>There are peaceful Muslims but where are they? Why aren’t they speaking out against these Islamic teaching?</strong><br />
Warriors in Jihad around the world look to Mohammed to justify what they are doing.</p>
<p><strong>November 2003, of the Saudi Arabian Embassy web site told Muslim should engage in Jihad.</strong></p>
<p>Jihadist’s believe the religious principle that says we can’t live with infidels.<br />
Democracy can support Sharia law — so according to the Iraqi and Afghanistan constitution but Islamic law ALWAYS will outweigh any Democratic beliefs.</p>
<p>Political Islam has not been challenged and will always win out.</p>
<p>Saudi Arabia sends radical books and ideology to US based Mosques and schools.</p>
<p><strong>Year One in the Islamic Calendar is when Muhammed became a military and political leader. Islam is a political idealogy and the US is not approaching Islam as a political group but as a religious group. Why not?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;80% of American Mosques are controlled by extremists teaching hate literature and Muslim supremency being taught in the schools.</p>
<p>Foreign Policy: &#8220;Recommendations/What should we do?<br />
Saudi Arabia — we should find alternative energy sources and bring pressure to bare upon Saudi Arabia<br />
Challenge Saudi Arabia’s support of Wahhabism around the world<br />
Iraq- withdraw entirely and/or protect the surrounding countries around Iraq to make sure it does’nt spread.<br />
Iraq was formed by the English — why should they stay together? Iran will have nuclear weapons, they have said they want to destroy Israel — take them at their word — they want to be the leader of global Jihad.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Nonie Darwish</strong> contends there is a growing movement in this country willing to shed blood in the name of Islam. “<strong>While Americans are busy erasing Christianity from all public sites and erasing God from the lives of children, the Muslims are planning a great jihad on America.”<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Islamic law allows men to marry babies age one and consummate the marriage at age eight.  In the U.S. this is child abuse &#8211; pure and simple.  </p>
<p>For an Islamic  woman to prove rape she has to have 4 witnesses.  How likely is that to happen in the Middle East?    </p>
<p>Muslim men  in the West demand Shariah Law so the women cannot divorce.  </p>
<p><strong>The plan to put a mosque a couple blocks from Ground Zero should be a wake up call. For every American town and community.  What do mosques spread?   </strong></p>
<p> Let&#8217;s find out what  Islamic religious leaders teach in local mosques.  Is it hatred of Western liberty?   Is it the subjection of women and children to the whims of men? </p>
<p><strong>Instead of the Golden Rule, Islam has two systems of ethics &#8212; one for Muslims and another for non-Muslims.  And the goal of Islam is to take and subjugate others. So says Nonie Darwish, an Islamic woman who converted to Christianity.   </strong></p>
<p> <strong></strong><strong> </p>
<p>Go and attend the local mosque in your community.  See for yourself what goes on.  And if you don&#8217;t like what goes on &#8212; use the free speech this county has to say what you think.</p>
<p>Where are the local mosques?  In Santa Cruz it is called an Islamic Center:  Going to the local home page I see  mention of a religious leader protecting Jews and Christians. This was back when Jerusalem was invaded.   For more information:     </p>
<p>Muslim Islamic Center of Santa Cruz<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Best to learn about Islamic Shariah  religious  law before  imposed on you  in your local  American community. </p>
<p>Our young president Obama supports the legal right of a mosque close to Ground Zero.  Whether wise to do it so  is an issue  Obama side-stepped.  </p>
<p> Broaden the question to do you want a  mosque in your back yard?   Or put differently:  <strong>Do you want Islamic  Shariah law to rule in your local community?  </strong></p>
<p>One reason not to embrace mosques and Islamic law:  Islamic law per the Koran supports marriage between first cousins.  So what?  </p>
<p>Marriage between first cousins can cause severe birth defects. Islamic Law  &#8212; read the Koran &#8212; permits such marriages. </p>
<p>The Koran explicitly says NO to  marriage between an Islamic man and his mother-in-law (wow!)  And NO  to marriage between  an  Islamic man and his daughters (my goodness!),   his sisters and the Islamic man&#8217;s nieces. </p>
<p><strong> However, it is OK according to the Koran  for an Islamic man to marry his first cousin.  So what&#8217;s so bad  about marriages between first cousins?  </p>
<p>Jewish and Christian religious law views such marriages as wrong. </p>
<p>Why do religions  forbid sex between persons related by blood?  Sex between persons related by blood is taboo.  Why?  birth defects result.  </p>
<p><strong>And it is just inherently wrong for men to take advantage of women that men  have easy access to </strong>:  nurse mothers, their sisters, his nieces etc.      And &#8212; sexual relations between persons related by blood &#8212; has  been a NO for thousands of years.  </p>
<p>Half of the U.S. states makes first cousin marriages illegal.  Do you want Islamic law to change these U.S.  laws?  Think twice about this. </p>
<p>See the following article below for more information:  </p>
<p>written by Cameron Jackson<br />
DrCameronJackson@gmail.com </p>
<p>&#8220;With all the talk lately about American prejudice towards the Muslim world, it might be interesting to discuss one aspect of their culture.  It should be a topic of real concern for all American women.  Concerned for their “fellow sisters” in that world.</p>
<p>The following is excerpts from an article written by <strong>Nonie Darwish,</strong> a Muslim author and lecturer, describin<strong>g the hell Muslim women face in a culture geared strictly towards men.  Here is a portion of her description:</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as one year-old and have sexual intimacy with this child consummating the marriage by the age of eight.</p>
<p>&#8220;The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use as a toy.  Even though the woman is abused, she cannot obtain a divorce.  </p>
<p>To prove rape, the woman must have four male witnesses.</p>
<p>&#8220;Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return the dowry. <strong> The family has the right to execute her (an honor killing) to restore the honor of the family.</strong></p>
<p>  <strong>Husbands can beat their wives ‘at will’ and not have to say why he has beaten her. </strong></p>
<p>The husband is permitted to have four wives and a temporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion. </p>
<p>  The <strong>Shariah Muslim Law</strong> controls the private as well as the public life of the women.  In the Western world (America), <strong>Muslim men are starting to demand Shariah Law</strong> so the wife cannot obtain a divorce.  He can have complete control of her.  It is amazing and alarming how many Muslim women now attending American universities are marrying Muslim men and submitting themselves and their children unsuspectingly to Shariah Law.  </p>
<p>By passing this on, enlightened American women may avoid becoming a slave under this law. </p>
<p>  <strong>She recently authored a book, “Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law.Ms. Darwish describes the goal of radical Islamists as a goal to impose Shariah Law on the world, “ripping Western law and liberty in two.””</strong></p>
<p>Born in Cairo and spending her childhood in Egypt and Gaza before immigrating to America in 1978, Darwish’s father had been killed leading covert attacks on Israel.  He was a high-ranking Egyptian officer stationed with his family in Gaza.  When he died, he was considered a “shahid”, a martyr for jihad.  Her father’s posthumous status earned Nonie and her family an elevated position in Muslim society.  </p>
<p>Darwish developed a skeptical eye toward her own Muslim culture and converted to Christianity after hearing a Christian preacher on television.</p>
<p>While Westerns tend to think that all religions encourage some form of the golden rule, Sharia teaches two systems of ethics – one for Muslims and another for non-Muslims.  Building on tribal practices of the seventh century, Sharia encourages the side of humanity that wants to take from and subjugate others.</p>
<p>Sharia advocates executing people who ask difficult questions that could be interpreted as criticism.  Sadly, while talk of an Islamic reformation is common and even assumed by many in the West, such murmurings in the Middle East are silenced through intimidation.</p>
<p>The alarming fact is that there are many in America disillusioned with life and Christianity and willing to accept Muslims as peaceful.  Many are, but there is a growing number that are willing to shed blood in the name of Islam. </p>
<p>  Ms. Darwish contends there is a growing movement in this country willing to shed blood in the name of Islam. “While Americans are busy erasing Christianity from all public sites and erasing God from the lives of children, the Muslims are planning a great jihad on America.”</p>
<p>&#8220;It is something for every citizen of this country to pay heed as many attempt to marginalize the growing threat.   </p>

<p>I do not share that view. I think,  as stated today in the Wall Street Journal editorial article,   that there is a real clash of civilizations going on right now. <strong>And what you do can affect that battle. </strong> </p>
<p> <strong>So  &#8212; pick your side</strong>.I am for Western civilization as a far  better alternative to Islam or Buddhist civilizations.  Read the articles and speak up.   </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Freedom of Assembly is guaranteed by Article 31 in the Russian Constitution.  For the 9th time rallies in Russia were forbidden and broken up by force.  And what is Obama&#8217;s response?  The Obama Administration expressed its &#8220;concern&#8221;. Wow.  </p>
<p>Per the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) editorial August 4, 2010 authoritarianism is rising in many places to endanger democracy.  Which side is Washington on?   Per the WSJ, the Obama Administration stance is &#8220;confused&#8221;.  </p>
<p>The U.S. has cut support for democracy programs in Egypt.  When Egypt extended its 29 year old state of emergency the State Department said nothing. </p>
<p>The story is the same in Latin America.   Strong men now rule Venezuela, Volivia, Nicaragua, Equador and &#8211; of course &#8211; Cuba.  The U.S. has pulled back support for civic society.  And Washington&#8217;s response?   Obama&#8217;s Administration has sought to engage the autocrats.  </p>
<p>The Wall Street Journal titled its editorial A Democracy &#8216;Reset&#8217;.  It ends with the comment, &#8220;How about an Obama freedom agenda?&#8221;  Well, WSJ editorial writers, don&#8217;t hold your breath.  </p>
<p>The WSJ forgets where Obama learned his values &#8212; in the pews of Rev. Wright&#8217;s church  where Obama  heard for 20 years  how America is the cause of the world&#8217;s problems.  Acts that weaken America abroad  fit in with Obama&#8217;s agenda  to return power  to the disenfranchised.  Democracy gives power to people. It is in Obama&#8217;s interest to engage the autocrats and turn a dim ear to the people ruled by autocrats.  </p>
<p>So expect more headlines about beating up and arresting pro-democracy demonstrators.  Obama is not interested in freedom or democracy.  Obama wants  to get rid of capitalism and free markets and substitute government control in its place.  So who is the real autocrat in America? Autocrat Obama.     </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did a Vietnamese-American Texas attorney commit fraud when she signed  up 1,000 Vietnamese fishermen in return for 60% contingency fees?  Smells  like fraud. </p>
<p> Roughly half of the 40,000  fishermen in the Gulf are Vietnamese  refugees.  Recently, one  Vietnamese-American female attorney from a Texas law firm signed up over 1,000 of the refugees in exchange for 60% contingency fees.  What explanation of the intricacies of the American legal system  was individually given by that attorney  to those 1,000 persons?  What do you think that Vietnamese female attorney said?  Probably something like, get a little now rather than wait a long time like in the Valdez spill? <span id="more-2658"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;Before it became the single biggest environmental catastrophe in American history, BP&#8217;s Deepwater Horizon was a magnet for barracudas, which endlessly circled the oil rig in the Gulf&#8217;s warm waters, feeding on smaller fish. The oil plume and massive cleanup have driven away many of the underwater predators. But as a group of Vietnamese-American lawyers discovered before returning to the Bay Area from the Gulf of Mexico last week, the barracudas have come ashore.</p>
<p>&#8220;And they were carrying briefcases.</p>
<p>&#8220;About half the Gulf&#8217;s fishermen are Vietnamese-Americans — as many as 20,000 in all — and many of them have signed retainer agreements with attorneys who promised to help sort out BP&#8217;s complicated claims process, and represent them in any eventual lawsuits against the oil company. But because there is almost no cadre of Vietnamese-speaking professionals in southern Louisiana or Mississippi, the fishermen were easy prey for lawyers who see BP&#8217;s $20 billion escrow fund as a cash cow.</p>
<p>&#8220;Idled for months, the fishermen were unsure which way to turn. Those who <strong>agreed to sign waivers in exchange for compensation now would forfeit their right to sue BP.</strong> But lawsuits filed after the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska took decades to unwind, and in many cases resulted in relatively small payments. Without legal advocates, they had no way of knowing whether BP&#8217;s Vessels of Opportunity program — putting fishermen to work on the cleanup — was being implemented fairly. </p>
<p>Summoned to the Gulf Coast by the Mississippi Center for Justice to provide free legal counsel to Vietnamese fishing families, half a dozen members of the nonprofit Vietnamese American Bar Association of Northern California arrived in New Orleans expecting to be greeted warmly. But other attorneys — armed with contracts calling for contingency fees as high as 60 percent — had beaten them there, and left behind an almost impenetrable slick of hard feelings.</p>
<p>Lots of fear</p>
<p>When the pro bono lawyers conducted a town-hall meeting at the Mary Queen of Vietnam Catholic Church in New Orleans&#8217; Ninth Ward, few fishermen showed up, and most of those that came sat in the back with their arms folded, just staring.</p>
<p>&#8220;We figured because we look like them and talk like them, they would accept the services we had to offer,&#8221; said Mai Phan, a San Jose immigration lawyer who grew up in New Orleans. &#8220;But when we got there, it was the complete opposite of what we expected. They were afraid of us.&#8221;</p>
<p>Afraid, and angry. &#8220;I&#8217;ve never seen a group have such a look of hatred in their eyes for attorneys,&#8221; said Ann Nguyen, an Oakland-based bankruptcy lawyer, who is VABANC&#8217;s vice president.</p>
<p>Two months into the mammoth spill, fishermen along the Gulf Coast have already missed one of the most promising shrimping seasons in years, and estimates of how long it could take for them to get their lines and nets back into the water range from two to five years. The Exxon Valdez oil spill left Alaska&#8217;s fishermen tied up in court for three decades.</p>
<p>The Gulf Coast is home to the largest Vietnamese-American population outside California, and yet, the lawyers who went from here to there discovered the two communities have little in common. Some were surprised by how little the fishermen had assimilated into American life. &#8220;They&#8217;re very different from the Vietnamese in our area,&#8221; Phan said. &#8220;Since they came to this country, all they knew is how to fish.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;These people came from Vietnam as refugees, went straight there, and they&#8217;ve been stuck there in kind of a time warp,&#8221; said Nguyen. &#8220;There&#8217;s a huge lack of Vietnamese professionals down there.&#8221;</p>
<p>The entire fishing industry is imperiled, but immigrant fishermen — who essentially transplanted their way of life from Vietnam to the Gulf Coast — could be in double trouble. If their livelihood disappears, they could become refugees again, this time fleeing economic hardship rather than war.</p>
<p>Nguyen&#8217;s father was a fisherman on the Gulf when she was growing up, and Phan&#8217;s parents lost their home during Hurricane Katrina. &#8220;This is really emotional,&#8221; Phan said. &#8220;It&#8217;s only been five years since Katrina, and they were barely rebuilding their lives when this hit. Fishing was all these people knew, and now they&#8217;re really struggling.&#8221;</p>
<p>As the Bay Area lawyers&#8217; three days in the Gulf went on, word began to spread that they weren&#8217;t trying to profit at the locals&#8217; expense, and the number of fishermen seeking their help increased. When they returned home last Monday, both Nguyen and Phan said they cried — partly because of all the work left undone.</p>
<p>They&#8217;re working with the White House and Rep. Anh Cao, R-La., on a white paper covering many of the legal issues they encountered there. Phan said they are also raising funds to create a fellowship for a Vietnamese-language attorney or law student to work with the Gulf fishermen full time.</p>
<p>Shortly before she returned to San Jose, Phan encountered one of the attorneys whose name she had seen on many of the contracts requiring huge contingency fees. She represented a firm from Texas, and she was Vietnamese-American.</p>
<p><strong>Basically, the Texas lawyer told Phan, &#8220;If you&#8217;re here to get clients, it&#8217;s too late. I&#8217;ve already retained over a thousand of them here. You&#8217;re on my turf.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>When one of the pro bono lawyers told her she must have an enormous staff to zealously represent so many of her own people, the barracuda silently swam away.</strong>Contact Bruce Newman at 408-920-5004.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What can get a handle on gang violence?  Healthy, supervised activities is one avenue. Other avenues include individual commitments by the youth and parents made publicly and supported by the institutions that they respect &#8212; school, church, neighbors.  </p>
<p>Churches, for example, have Graduation Recognition ceremonies.  How about Initiation for Peaceful Solutions Ceremonies for youth starting by age 9 that are renewed once a year?  And to bolster that public commitment by youth and parents blessed by priests and ministers create safe communities that are gun/knife/weapon free.  Encourage parents to create ways to swoop up the guns and weapons that are on the streets and in the hands of children.  And yes &#8212; structured activities such as soccer  that encourage cooperation and healthy competition will enhance self esteem. </p>
<p> Below is how Live Oak, California is addressing the problem of gang violence.  It is a start!!</p>
<p>A Volunteer Opportunity<br />
A FREE 6 week indoor Soccer Program for youth ages 6 &#8211; 17 is being offered on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6:00 &#8211;  9:00pm June 14th &#8211; July 21st.  at Shoreline School in Live Oak. It is offered through a partnership between the Sheriff&#8217;s Activity League, the Live Oak Family Resource Center, Communities Organized for<strong> Relational Power in Action (COPA)</strong> and the Live Oak School District. VOLUNTEERS (adults and older teens) ARE NEEDED &#8211; coaches, refs, line refs, security, &#8220;team parent&#8221; etc. There will be a volunteer training on June 7th 6-8 pm. For more information call 476-7284 x 104.<br />
Pre registration for players is June 3rd. Priority to  youth living in the Live Oak School District but all kids accepted on a space available basis. Call same # to find out how to register There are many kids living in our community who cannot play soccer because their families cannot afford it. This program promotes self-esteem, teamwork and leadership skills while offering healthy activities in a safe space. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>How to solve illegal immigration? </strong> </p>
<p>Work to change the conditions that draw people  here illegally. Too easily people can get fake identification papers.  The Border Patrol too frequently  turns a blind eye to people entering illegally.  There is no fence along the southern border &#8212; though money was allocated for one.  The federal government for too many years has done too little. </p>
<p>Hence Arizona&#8217;s sensible response.  More needs to be done, however.  </p>
<p> So let&#8217;s  make sensible changes:  </p>
<p>** Built rapport with law abiding groups across the Border.  Have a foreign workers program and all workers carry tamper proof identification cards.   Make a fence that is not easily penetrated and well maintained. Provide foreign aid to families and children that encourages families to stay and or return to Mexico and other Latin American countries.   <span id="more-2633"></span></p>
<p>**  Built a solid fence with a 1/2 mile &#8220;no go&#8221; strip maintained by air planes, the  national guard &#038; border patrol. Physically fit persons paid by the government &#8212; like census workers &#8212;  can walk the fence and be the eyes and ears for the national guard and border patrol.    Use  air planes equipped with laser tag guns,   glow in the dark paint ball guns and other means of  identifying persons that have illegally entered the U.S.</p>
<p>** Akin to the &#8220;go to the people &#038; get their support&#8221; in Iraq and Afghanistan, use our  military to &#8220;make friends&#8221; with law abiding citizens and groups in Mexico.  What do they need/ want so their young people stay in Mexico and contribute to Mexico&#8217;s development?  Give direct aid in small towns so they thrive and are pro-American and give us tips as to what the drug cartels are doing.   Build  rapport and support for law abiding behavior  across the border. </p>
<p>** Remember that it is illegal behavior.    Follow the laws that are already on the books. </p>
<p>**  People are drawn here because of the freedoms we have as a lawful society. That&#8217;s what is wrong with amnesty every 10-15 years.  Amnesty is a reward for bad behavior.  Let&#8217;s reward legal behavior.  </p>
