It often looks like we have an evil pope and an evil president. both who seem to show signs of working with a historical enemy of Western Civilization and indisputably an enemy of Judeo-Christian autonomy and thought. It really does seem like a Bond flick or a comic book at times. Maybe this explains why the internet goes all fuzzy from time to time before one of these guys speaks.
1. Pope says it is wrong to equate Islam with violence
(This is so patently insane it has to be part of some larger plan. There is no way that a Catholic Pope could possibly believe what he says here unless he is trying to sell us all something. And suddenly it makes the issue of the early retirement of the previous pope, you know, the one who canonized all those brave men who died defending Europe from Islamic invaders not all that long ago, much more curious)
ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (Reuters) – Pope Francis said on Sunday that equating Islam with violence was wrong and called on Muslim leaders to issue a global condemnation of terrorism to help dispel the stereotype.
Francis, the leader of 1.2 billion Roman Catholics, told reporters aboard his plane returning from a visit to Turkey that he understood why Muslims were offended by many in the West who automatically equated their religion with terrorism.
2. A visit to Mosul. Yet another Islamic State video.
(It is important to note that muslims use the word ‘liberate’ much as Stalin, Pol Pot or Kim Jong Un would. Except in the Islamic state you can probably have a variety of haircuts but a beard is likely compulsory.)
3. Islamic State has ‘Special Plans’ for India, Majeed Said: Sources to NDTV
Guwahati: Areeb Majeed, one of the four youths from Mumbai who allegedly went to fight for the Islamic State and returned last week, has told investigators the IS was looking east towards to India, for which it has “special plans”. Also he said the “new world order” under the IS was something “everyone should fight for”, sources have told NDTV.
Majeed has said his joining the IS was willed by God and he does not regret it. His parents, he said, should not have asked for New Delhi’s help to get him home, sources said.
His questioning had provided ground for the security agencies’ concern that hardline Islamists were out to make India their happy hunting grounds.
4. Canadian man stabbed in mall in Saudi Arabia was the 4th expat to be attacked this month.
5. British Royal Family travel itinerary has interesting omission
the bureau’s explicit orders to reporters were to never quote the group or its director, an American-born professor named Gerald Steinberg. In my time as an AP writer moving through the local conflict, with its myriad lunatics, bigots, and killers, the only person I ever saw subjected to an interview ban was this professor.
Steinberg is a professor of political science at Israel’s Bar Ilan University. Educated at Cornell University, UCBerkeley and MIT, Steinberg is the founder and president of NGO-Monitor. He is the author of numerous books and dozens of other publications.
7. Michael Coren: Should jokes about Islam be censored?
(Personally I think it is critically important that jokes about Islam are made mainstream as soon as possible)
Thank you Don C., M., Yucki, Richard, UK Pete, and many more. It will be an interesting week coming up in a few ways. Stay tuned.
1. “called on Muslim leaders to issue a global condemnation of terrorism to help dispel the stereotype.”
When they don’t do it or frame it in such a way it’s doesn’t make much sense. What then?
Seems like a good move on his part.
If you lead a religion that teaches people to believe Sai Baba came down to Earth, when Jesus claimed it not for himself, a little deception that Islam is peaceful to all Mankind, does not seem amiss. If he is as self flagellating as John Paul. this might be cathartic.

Am I the only one to feel increasingly angry and contemptuous of this Pope?
For me (a catholic agnostic ;)) he seems to be a multi-tasking whore: prostituting himself to the media like a Paris Hilton on steroids, and whoring for islam. When he recently went courting some more media-exposure by pontificating to the European Parliament, he did not even “visit” the magnificent Cathedral in Strasbourg where his plane landed. Yet he “prays” in the “Blue Mosque” in Adolf Erdogans fiefdom and even fellates islam by bending it like Beckham towards mecca.
Put all these show-pony, detrousered popes into a harem and bring back my compatriot, Pope Benedict.

You’re not the only one, Rita.
Because I don’t want to disparage the Papal Office, I feel it necessary to preface any criticism of this Pope using formulaic courtesy: “With all due respect…”
I can’t do it for Pope Francis, so: No Comment.
And yes, I’m suspicious of his accession to the Office.
As a Baptist I don’t have to believe in Papal infallibility but this man is giving new meaning to need for reformation, the worlds Christian sects have for the most part drifted far from the teachings of Christ and we need a new reformation.
I would suggest that the next time the Vatican picks a pope, they get one that is Catholic.
That would help
The liberal wing of the Catholic Church has strayed from the teachings of Christ to the point that they seem to be a different religion. That is why so many Catholics have left and joined Protestant Churches.

The British Royals tick all the boxes for qualifying as good lefties:
– good real estate
– moneyed
– pro-Islam to a point where the mother of the future King was even embedded with muslims…so to speak
and so, to round up this picture of the good leftie, they HAVE to dislike the Jews, sorry, they HAVE to be “anti-zionist” and pro-Palesteeeeeeeeeeenians).
embedded with muslims – lol
The Brits have sided with the Arabs since WWI, they did this despite the Jews giving them more help in both world wars then the Arabs did, the current antisemitism of the British government and the Royals is keeping in line with this tradition.

Didn’t watch the whole tape, the siiiiiiixgssssooooong back-ground music causes me nausea, but am I mistaken, or is the sound at the beginning the sound of a toilet flushing?
I didn’t watch it at all – until you question the sound effects.
So I gave it 16 seconds and – whaddya know – a toilet is flushed!

Personally I think it is critically important that jokes about Islam are made mainstream as soon as possible
I fully agree, and hopefully make these jokes without the obligatory disclaimer of “the-bible-is-just-as-bad-mkay” addition, or, like the Faulty Towers bloke in the original tape did: tell porkies about Jesus.
I couldn’t WATCH it at ALL !!
It isn’t going to happen as you can see in this video both of these comics are self censoring themselves out of fear of death.
Ebola crisis: Huge risk of spread – UN’s Tony Banbury (BBC, Dec 1, 2014)
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-30270997
“The head of the UN Ebola response mission in West Africa has told the BBC there is still a “huge risk” the deadly disease could spread to other parts of the world.
Tony Banbury declined to say if targets he had set in the fight against Ebola, to be achieved by Monday, had been met.
The targets were for the proportion of people being treated and for the safe burial of highly infectious bodies.
The UN boss was speaking in Freetown, one of the worst-affected areas.
On Sunday in Sierra Leone’s capital, bulldozers were clearing large areas for a new burial ground.
At the clearance site, near a rubbish tip, car after car was arriving with bodies, and several hundred workers were digging graves….”

It does not take a theological scholar to figure out that the Quran is not a book of peace and it makes no sense that the Pope would be so utterly in the dark about the religion of Islam. It also makes no sense for the President of the United States to be so friendly with the Muslim Brotherhood while being hostile to most America’s allies, while doing what he can to ruin the American economy as he creates the conditions for an unnecessary race war. It also makes no sense, the way the mainstream media loses interest so quickly in the important stories while remaining focused on climate change and Kim Kardashian’s ass. It also makes no sense for our universities to be so darn hospitable to things like “Israel Apartheid Week”.
It’s almost as if an unseen enemy is waging some sort of covert war against us. Do you think…?
George Soros, et al.?
Yeah! Stuff like that. And the way Prince al Walid bin Talal owns a share of Fox News. And the way the Saudis have “donated” Islamic “studies” departments to universities across the world. And the way the crusades somehow became a dirty word…
And our public school textbooks? Traumatizing Jewish kids at university? Grotesque demonization of Israel?
Read the links to Matti Friedman somewhere around here. She knows first-hand about media bias. Gives you an idea of big puppet strings held by who-knows- whom.
Response to Matti’s latest article already coming in. Expect an avalanche.
Statement On Media Censorship Of Criticism Of NGOS
http://www.ngo-monitor.org/article/response_to_the_ap_ban_on_ngo_monitor_and_prof_steinberg_
The worst thing they could do to us isn’t killing us. It’s re-writing our history – writing us out of it.
That’s why the subornation of universities is such a deft move for them. They started years ago; we’re only seeing the results now. College teachers brainwashed, passing on fantasies.
Trashing our past is most vicious.
Actions speak louder then words.
Chris — Yes Yes and Yes again. But how do we get common sense thinking into the thick skulls of the herd. Forget the lefties, I’m talking about the ordinary sleeping Joe.
You mean before he wakes up to find a beard without a brain standing over him with an axe, screaming “Allah-blah-blah”?
Guys like Ben Affleck. Ben is probably a great guy with his heart in the right place and a good head on his shoulders, but he is totally unaware of the fact that he has been brainwashed by the left-wing truth adjusters. What was once a nascent fledgling in the hands of Beria, Hitler, Goebbels, and Stalin, has become a high art in the hands of today’s sociopathic “spin doctors”, with well-written text books and well-researched techniques and methods coupled with dazzling technological advancements. They control the entire entertainment media, for God’s sake! Poor Ben is too young and invincible to be able to accept the possibility that someone is treating him like a big green fish at a high-stakes poker game.
I don’t doubt that in the end freedom will win the current war, and we will start repairing the damage the left has done to our society, but it will take a Century or better to complete the repairs.
From the little I’ve seen, his head may look good to his fans, but there isn’t much inside it.

ISIS ‘Firing Squad’ Executes Two Female Iraqi Parliament Members in Mosul (ibtimes, Nov 30, 2014)
http://www.ibtimes.co.in/isis-firing-squad-executes-two-female-iraqi-parliament-members-mosul-615634
“Reports out of Mosul claim that the Islamic State(ISIS) militants have executed two Iraqi female politicians in Mosul.
The two female candidates, who were former members of the Iraqi parliament were taken into custody by ISIS three months back. The Sharia court that tried the two women and found them guilty of unlawful activities against ISIS. The two were arrested by ISIS for their work with the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP).
The Iraqi women were members of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and since ISIS considers the Kurds as infidels, any alliance with them could end with a death penalty.
The local report claims that following their trial, the two women had confessed to their crimes. The Sharia court however refused to accept their apology and ordered them to be executed by a firing squad instead.
The two women, who have represented the city in the Iraqi Parliament were shot in the public square of Faisalya in central Mosul.
Saad Mamuzin, the head of the KDP’s Mosul branch confirmed to Rudaw about the execution of the two politicians…”

‘Hipster Jihadi’ Islam Yaken: Cosmopolitan Egyptian Who Became Ruthless ISIS Fighter Reported Dead (ibtimes, Dec 1, 2014)

“Islam Yaken, who grew up in a wealthy Cairo neighbourhood before espousing jihad, has been killed in a suicide mission, according to ISIS affiliate accounts.
Yaken came to limelight after photos of him brandishing a scimitar on horseback, a gun slung around his shoulder and a chilling snarl on his lips went viral on Twitter. He soon gained several nicknames such as “hipster jihadi” and “gym rat.”
The Egyptian national’s fashionable Afro and black-rimmed glasses made a splash in Egypt’s social media world, the Telegraph had reported, with many expressing shock that a young man with so much promise could have changed so drastically.
Earlier on Monday, ISIS affiliate accounts announced that Yaken has achieved “martydom” following a suicide attack. Reports suggest that the “hipster jihadi” Yaken carried out a suicide mission in Kobane….”

“The World Food Programme (WFP) has been forced to suspend a critical food aid scheme for more than 1.6 million Syrian refugees because of a funding crisis.
The UN agency said the programme gave refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt vouchers to buy food.
Without such assistance, many families would go hungry this winter, it warned.
The WFP’s Executive Director, Ertharin Cousin, said it was in critical need of funding, with $64m (£41m) required to support refugees in December alone.
More than 3.2 million people have fled Syria and another 7.6 million have been displaced inside the country since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began three years ago….”

Afghanistan: Bird turned suicide bomber EXPLODES after shot by sniper
An Afghan police sniper shot down an unusual non-native bird flying along an highway in northern Faryab province with an antenna, explosives and an electronic device strapped to its body, Monday.
The bird exploded after being hit by the police, scattering “suspicious metal objects” across the highway, provincial police chief Abdul Nabi Ilham said to the press.
Although the police are still examining the remains of the shot down bird, they have already identified a GPS device and a small camera strapped to the animal’s body. The bird was first spotted in a neighbouring area to a police checkpoint, where the Taliban are active. Investigators speculate that the bird may have been deployed on a surveillance mission.
Bird turned suicide bomber – lol
I wonder how they are suppose to be controlling where the bird flew?
How did 2000 rusty nails get into a woman’s body, then leave via Koranic recitation?
None of that happened that way. Its slight of hand or otherwise illusions.
There is a lot of old folklore in Western supernaturalism about people having large numbers of pins magically places in their stomachs and then dieing when they throw them up. The show, ‘Supernatural’ did an episode on that if I recall correctly.
This appears to be an islamic spin on that old legend.
A djinn puts the nails in and then the koranic recitation takes them out — watch this video it is well explained :
