John McCain needs another terrorist attack to obtain more success

John McCain distanced himself Monday from a top adviser who said another terrorist attack on U.S. soil this election year would benefit the Republican presidential candidate. Barack Obama’s campaign called the comment a “complete disgrace.”

Charlie Black, an adviser already in the spotlight for his past lobbying work, is quoted in the upcoming July 7 edition of Fortune magazine as saying such an attack “certainly would be a big advantage to him.” Black said Monday he regretted the comment.

Black is also quoted as saying the “unfortunate event” of the assassination of former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto in December 2007 “helped us.”

Questioned about Black’s comments during a news conference, McCain said, “I cannot imagine why he would say it; it’s not true. I’ve worked tirelessly since 9/11 to prevent another attack on the United States of America. My record is very clear.”

Citing his work to establish a commission to investigate the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the United States, as well as his membership on the Senate Armed Services Committee, McCain added: “I cannot imagine it, and so, if he said that - and I don’t know the context - I strenuously disagree.”

Right-Wing Politician Calls Zionism as Bad as Islamism

 

Yesterday, the Belgian establishment newspaper De Standaard published a double interview with the Dutch politician Geert Wilders and the Flemish politician Jean-Marie Dedecker. Mr Dedecker, a popular former judo coach, is a populist right-wing politician who was ousted by the governing Flemish Liberal Party in 2006 and founded his own party, the Lijst Dedecker (LDD) or Gezond Verstand Partij (Common Sense Party). He won 5.5% of the Flemish vote in the June 10, 2007, elections. It is generally assumed that he did so mainly at the expense of the Flemish-secessionist and anti-Islamist Vlaams Belang (VB, Flemish Interest) party. According to the latest polls Dedecker is currently at 12.4%, again mostly at the expense of the VB. Last November, Dedecker called the VB “fascistic” and boasted that he is single-handedly succeeding in what the Belgian establishment failed to do for 20 years: “smoking out the VB.”

Zionist Sarkozy Seeks Fund For EU (Zionist) Army

The European Union’s biggest peacekeeping mission, the dispatch of 3,700 troops to Chad this year, got off to an inauspicious start: EU governments repeatedly delayed the deployment, halted troop transports when fighting broke out in February, and ultimately had to rely on Russian helicopters to ferry the force to the African desert.

The rocky start to the mission to protect 400,000 refugees displaced by civil war in Sudan and fighting in Chad was a blow to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who had goaded the EU with the words: “We’re not going to let Chad fall.”

With France taking over the EU’s six-month presidency today, Sarkozy’s priority is to upgrade Europe’s military. The French leader is seeking to boost European defense investment, better coordinate the bloc’s 27 armies, re-anchor France in NATO and overcome U.S. skepticism about European capabilities.

The Dark Side Of John McCain

 

The real McCain

To his fans he’s a lovable patriot with a maverick streak. But to his critics he’s an anti-abortion Creationist who surrounds himself with religious extremists. Paul Harris uncovers the dark side of John McCain

It is a vintage John McCain performance. Standing in a light-filled atrium at the University of Denver, McCain is espousing his vision for America’s future relations with the world. He hits all the right notes, citing liberal icon John F Kennedy and conservative hero Ronald Reagan. He strikes a muscular tone against America’s enemies, yet tempers it with restraint. He speaks of a ‘common vision’ among nations. ‘I want us to rise to the challenges of our time, as generations before us rose to theirs,’ he says. He addresses the audience as ‘my friends’ and promises a safer, more reasonable world. ‘It still remains within our power to make in our time another, better world than we inherited,’ he concludes. As the crowd applaud, McCain plunges into the throng to pump hands and sign autographs.

Obama Assasination: Where Will You be?

AIPAC Decides Who America’s President Will Be

Obama Site Claims He Was Never Muslim - (WRONG)

JERUSALEM – In an effort to combat what it calls Internet smears, Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign yesterday launched a website with the stated aimed of setting the record straight.

One of the main issues addressed by Obama’s “Fight the Smears” site is the contention the Illinois senators was once a Muslim.

“Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised as a Muslim, and is a committed Christian,” states the site.

But as WND reported, public records in Indonesia listed Obama as a Muslim during his early years, and a number of childhood friends claimed to the media Obama was once a mosque-attending Muslim.

Obama’s campaign has several times wavered in response to reporters queries regarding the issue of Obama’s childhood faith.

Commenting on a recent Los Angeles Times report quoting a childhood friend stating Obama prayed in a mosque – something the presidential candidate said he never did – Obama’s campaign released a statement explaining the senator “has never been a practicing Muslim.”

EU Referendum - Thank You, Ireland

The entire business and political elite of Ireland ganged up to tell their countrymen that they should vote in favour of the Lisbon Treaty. Failure to comply would risk outraging the EU elite and integrationist maniacs who want to impose their undemocratic project on an entire continent. The implication was profoundly insulting: that if voters were to cause any trouble, Ireland would suffer somehow. By implication it is incapable of prospering as a nation which values its independence.

Irish voters, thank goodness, appear to have had other ideas and in raising two fingers to the latest stage of the federalist programme have cheered those who want a different kind of Europe - an accountable Europe of free nations.

Amusingly, this is extremely embarrassing for the leaders who tried to railroad the Lisbon treaty past Europe’s voters.

Their EU project is propelled by the myth that this process is inevitable and unstoppable. The opposite is the case because rapid economic and technological change means that, while we should trade and cooperate, individual nation states will need maximum maneuverability to compete.

Will EU leaders listen? Yes, for about 30 seconds before activating plan B in which they implement 90% of the provisions of the Treaty anyway. But at least the opposing forces have been given a rallying point and an electorate has spoken.

UPDATE: The rumour is that Gordon Brown has phoned Sarko to say he’ll press ahead with UK ratification regardless. Is there something in the water at Westminster? This David Davis kamikaze style of politics is catching and perhaps Brown wants to be the next to try it.

Zionist EU Plan To Get Around Irish ‘No’ Vote

Officials in Brussels are working on plans to ensure that the European Treaty is still implemented elsewhere if Ireland votes against it in the referendum.

Although measures such as creating an EU president, “foreign minister” and European diplomatic service may be delayed, they are still expected to be introduced.

One diplomat said a “bridging mechanism” was being discussed. If Ireland rejects the treaty, it may simply be removed from the list of signatories and will not be legally obliged to abide by it.

By late 2009 or early 2010, when Croatia joins the EU, an amending “Accession Treaty” will be signed by all members including Dublin.

Incorporated into it would be a series of protocol texts giving paper “opt-outs” on controversial Irish EU issues, such as taxation powers or greater military co-operation.

Switzerland: Citizenship figures fuel debate ahead of vote

A debate is raging over Switzerland’s naturalisation rate in the run-up to a nationwide ballot on citizenship procedures early next month.

Rightwingers argue no country in Europe approves more citizenship applications than Switzerland. But officials say the comparisons are misleading.

Over the past few weeks the rightwing Swiss People’s Party has been recycling arguments that proved successful four years ago when it challenged a proposal to facilitate the naturalisation of second- and third-generation foreigners in Switzerland.

A large-scale poster campaign shows hands grabbing the coveted red passports with the white cross.

The People’s Party wants to give voters the final say on applications, with no right of appeal for rejected candidates.

Official statistics seemingly support claims that Swiss papers are easy to acquire.

The number of foreign residents acquiring Swiss citizenship has been on the increase over the past decade. The figure rose from about 19,000 in 1997 to reach 46,000 in 2006, and level out at 45,042 last year.

Teddy Kennedy’s Horrible Legacy for America

Instead of a rich legacy bequeathed upon the United States by forever U.S. Senator Teddy Kennedy, the oft-intoxicated, blubbery fourth brother of the Kennedy clan—four decades ago–drunkenly drove over a bridge that caused the death of Mary Jo Kopechne and lied about what happened.

But his worst and most destructive legacy for the United States stems from his authorship of the 1965 “Immigration Reform Act” that added the bulk of our additional 100 million people into America within 40 years. It jumped legal immigration from 170,000 annually to 1.1 million annually. Added to that disastrous environmental legacy, his actions provoked a complete ethnic change of our stable society into a fractured civilization. How? He provided for entrance of immigrants from cultures totally incompatible with U.S. culture. He downgraded citizenship by not enforcing our laws or maintaining educational standards.

Obama victimized by the ‘evil white man’

The article goes on to report that Obama supporters have had some difficulty reaching out to white audiences as of late. True, Obama’s racially-charged rhetoric has done little to attract white votes, just his failure to respect the American flag during the national anthem and his wife’s “finally proud to be an American” commentary will never top the list of ‘most advantageous campaign moves’ …but the article mentions none of this. The fact that Obama followed around a white-hating pastor for twelve years did not make its way into the report, either - and perhaps for good reason. The report claims that Obama’s recent campaigning difficulties have nothing to do with what he did wrong; MSNBC suggests that the only thing wrong is what is “wrong” with whites who are not voting for him because he is black. With that, Obama is made to look like the poor victim of an evil white world where evil white racists go to the polls. To support this victim theory, the article quotes a few people working for Obama campaign who claim to have heard racist insults and a handful of whites say - (gasp!) - they would never vote for a black candidate.

* Labour heartland of Jarrow gets BNP heart attack

The British National Party has shown solid steady growth in all areas of the country in the regions where local elections have been held, taking seats from mainly traditional Labour areas, as that party’s vote collapses everywhere.

Before today, the BNP held 84 council seats at all levels. With almost all results in, this figure has now reached 100, and could still exceed that number.

Obama courts the Jewish lobby

 

The Democratic presidential hopeful shared his admiration for the two authors yesterday at a meeting with Philadelphia-area Jewish leaders, addressing the crowd from the bima as his campaign passed out buttons with the candidate’s name spelled in Hebrew letters, according to a pool report released by the campaign.

One rabbi in the room for the talk, Leonard Gordon, from the Germantown Jewish Centre, said in an interview yesterday that Mr. Obama’s peroration on Jewish American writers and thought “was inspiring.” After the Illinois senator made those remarks, any anxieties among those in the room were assuaged, Rabbi Gordon said, adding that the former Chicago community activist lit up at the end of the speech.

Mr. Obama may be fighting an uphill battle in Pennsylvania, where registered Democrats will go to the polls on Tuesday. Senator Clinton, his rival for the Democratic nomination, has the support of both the Democratic governor and the Democratic mayors of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Also, many American Jews have received a series of e-mails spreading false rumors about Mr. Obama, suggesting that he attended a madrassa as a young boy and questioning his support for Israel.
