Reply-to-Comments Day

Yes, boys and girls, we’re having one of those again… Actually, it’s a reply to only one comment – but that one shall stand in for many others that I’ve had for a while, demonstrating that people are just not ‘getting’ it. ‘Not getting’ what? Wait… When I say people aren’t ‘getting’ it I’m not... Sign in to see full entry.

Censorship…

Censorship, banning outright the publication of information the elites deem unsuitable for the ‘Great Unwashed’, or ‘massaging’ information into an insipid pablum so as to keep them quiet is as old as the emergence of the Fifths Estate itself. Often the boundaries between censorship enforced by... Sign in to see full entry.

What the hell is going on at the DNC?

Maybe you’ve heard about it, maybe not! I get my news often from Israeli/Jewish sources not only because I am a committed Zionist, as I’ve mentioned before, but also because I find those sources to be f actful, if not always t actful, LOL. If you want to know the truth, ask the Israelis, who for the... Sign in to see full entry.

Maybe Raymond Ibrahim has been reading my posts…

But then, it’s also quite possible that he has come to his conclusions all on his own – he is a smart man, after all… This is what he has to say: When It Comes to Islam, Western Leaders Are Liars or Idiots When it comes to the connection between Islam and violence against non-Muslims, one fact must...

The new favourite?

It’s late afternoon when I go into the front hall; over there is Bennie on his strategically chosen couch, his head resting on his paws, but observing everything that’s going on. It’s about the time for the afternoon walk, the long one that takes us either through neighborhood ravines, into the... Sign in to see full entry.

Where’s my ball?

I have always loved Ben Jonson’s Song to Celia, which begins, “Drink to me only with thine eyes…”, and I’m often reminded of it when my Ben’s eyes are fixed on me! He doesn’t drink to me, but he talks to me with his eyes – he makes statements and he asks questions, and we often negotiate! Of late... Sign in to see full entry.

History repeats itself – under a different flag…

The German secular Nazis called it ‘Coordination’ ( Gleichschaltung)… Soon after Hitler came to power, not just the armed forces, but all civil organizations, the juiciary, schools and universities were were purged of people opposed to the government and staffed with those sympathetic to it. Many of... Sign in to see full entry.

A gay (ex)-Muslim’s plea…

If this appears to be about just one of the symptoms of the Islamic Disease, it isn’t – that was merely the ‘catalyst’ of the transformation in this man’s thinking about what he had grown up with; a transformation not surprising, all things considered, but one that required more than the experience...

About the coup attempt – something I hadn’t thought of...

The following piece from Europe suggests a ‘wrinkle’ in this whole affair that hadn’t occurred to me – but it’s possible. Will we ever know for certain? I doubt it… After his Istanbul speech, many commentators suggest that Turkish coup attempt was “staged,” as the President called it a “gift from... Sign in to see full entry.

A great disappointment…

It appears the coup attempt in Turkey has failed, and the Islamofascist Erdogan is still in charge! He will now try to solidify his power by further dismantling those factions in the military whose tradition goes back to Kemal Ataturk, the man who secularized Turkey and set it on the path to become...
