Speed of train not enough to cause derailment

An engineer of ADIF, which acknowledged not the exact circumstances of the accident, explained on Wednesday that it is unlikely that a train derailed just speeding and although this circumstance increased the severity of the incident, there must have been some other cause concurring in or route the machine to be come out.
Al Qaeda releases guide on how to torch cars and make bombs as it names 11 public figures it wants ‘dead or alive’ in latest edition of its glossy magazine
Al Qaada’s newest edition of its terror mag also has a list of people it wants to see muslims murder for whatever reasons. The list is irrational and seems to be based more on how much attention the work got rather than who the people are or what they think and do.
As a consequence, I wasn’t planning to post anything on it and encourage any Muslim, would-be-assassins on who to go after. Seems counterproductive to me to assist them. But the Daily Mail has done this article on another component of this issue and Diana West has done a good article on the ‘hit list’ so I may as well post them at least.
No direct link to Inspire though. If someone wants to read it I’m sure they can find it.

Al Qaeda has released the latest edition of its English-language propaganda magazine advising would-be militants on how to torch parked cars and cause traffic accidents.
The Islamist movement’s most active branch Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP, published the tenth edition of its glossy quarterly called Inspire on militant websites this month.
Along with tips on terrorism, it also warns France to pull back from Mali and lists 11 public figures in the West, including author Salman Rushdie, who it says are ‘wanted dead or alive for crimes against Islam’ and carries articles commemorating ‘martyrs’ who have died for its cause.
Issue 8 of Inspire magazine, released in 2011, was full of bomb-making tips and propaganda
AQAP, based in the impoverished, lawless state of Yemen, has previously plotted to bring down international airliners.
It is seen by Western governments as a danger to oil-producing Gulf states and major crude shipment routes.
#MyJihad – Beheading Copts
. . smite above the necks, and smite every finger of them!” — Koran 8:12
There’s a gruesome double murder mystery in New Jersey.
Police say who did it’s not a mystery because someone is under arrest but the mystery is why the accused killer cut of two men’s heads and hands.
The victims are reportedly from Jersey City, but their remains were found buried in a town southwest of Philadelphia.
On the streets of Jersey City along Bergen Avenue, to the naked eye it’s not obvious.
But to members of the close knit Coptic Orthodox church the pain is real.
“It’s a shock, something like this doesn’t happen to people like that,” a resident said.
Now they know two members of the church have been brutally murdered. Continue Reading →
First They Came for Santa Claus…
Thank you Hermes for the translation and GoV for the HTML and Don L for another link on this one.
Gates of Vienna:
A kindergarten in France has cancelled its annual visit from Santa Claus. School administrators say tight finances are to blame, but parents don’t believe them. They’re certain that the exclusion of Santa is an attempt to placate Muslims, and they’re up in arms about the decision.
Many thanks to Hermes for translating this article from RTL.fr:
Kindergarten children in Loiret deprived of visit by Father Christmas
This is a story that keeps the mood boiling at a kindergarten in Montargis-Loiret. With the holiday season approaching, the headmistress decided to cancel the ritual visit of Father Christmas to the classrooms. Official reason: financial problems. Stunned parents charge that it was instead on religious grounds.
The headmistress gave in?
For some parents with children in the Grand Clos kindergarten, there is no doubt that the reason for the cancellation of the visit of the white-bearded man in the red suit is of a “religious” kind. A mother declared on Wednesday in Le Parisien — Today in France that: “The director told me she did not want her wrist to be slapped by some Muslim families,” she said.
The problem was confirmed by the Deputy Mayor of Montargis, who is responsible for matters concerning children. He adds that “each year, families threaten to boycott the school in the day of Santa’s visit.” The director gave in. For some, “this is too much.” It is, according to them, the “Islamization of a school.”
New York Times: Arms Shipments ‘Secretly’ Approved by Obama Admin. Ended Up in Hands of Islamic Militants

The Obama administration “secretly” approved arms shipments to Libyan rebels from Qatar last year, however, U.S. officials quickly became concerned as evidence suggested Qatar was handing the weapons over to Islamic militants, The New York Times reports, citing a number of United States officials and foreign diplomats.
There is no evidence available that suggests the U.S.-approved weapons were involved in the deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, which left four Americans dead on Sept. 11. But the revelation is sure to ignite speculation.
More from The New York Times:
But in the months before, the Obama administration clearly was worried about the consequences of its hidden hand in helping arm Libyan militants, concerns that have not previously been reported. The weapons and money from Qatar strengthened militant groups in Libya, allowing them to become a destabilizing force since the fall of the Qaddafi government.

The Guardian. Another reason for Pat Condell’s criticism
Check this absurd article in today’s Guardian, a near complete synthesis and I can tell you this for a fact, the EDL despises Breivik more than most and his actions have in fact set groups like the EDL back a long way. In any case, this video by Mr, Condell now makes sense for another reason. The Guardian’s propensity to manufacture facts and create false impressions as opposed to reporting the news.
4 minute excerpt from the most excellent PBS documentary on Al Queda controlled city in Yemen
Documentary on Al Queda in Yemen
Listen carefully to some of the more subtle things said in this documentary. For example, Al Queda follows what the film maker calls, ‘their interpretations of sharia’. I would bet that they do not. I would bet they use interpretations of sharia as prescribed by muslim ‘scholars’ which are more accurately described as jurists. Most likely from the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and from Al Azaar, the people who sponsored Obama’s Cairo speech in 2009.
The very same people who have managed to trick their way into power in Egypt. The ones morons in the white house claim are, ‘secular and liberal and democratic’.

Team Obama Wants Children Banned from Doing Farm Chores

Rural kids, parents angry about Labor Dept. rule banning farm chores
By Patrick Richardson, Daily Caller
A proposal from the Obama administration to prevent children from doing farm chores has drawn plenty of criticism from rural-district members of Congress. But now it’s attracting barbs from farm kids themselves.
The Department of Labor is poised to put the finishing touches on a rule that would apply child-labor laws to children working on family farms, prohibiting them from performing a list of jobs on their own families’ land.
Under the rules, children under 18 could no longer work “in the storing, marketing and transporting of farm product raw materials.”
“Prohibited places of employment,” a Department press release read, “would include country grain elevators, grain bins, silos, feed lots, stockyards, livestock exchanges and livestock auctions.”
Qaeda militants seize Yemen town, Norwegian kidnapped
Reuters:
SANAA | Sun Jan 15, 2012 10:05am EST
(Reuters) – Al Qaeda militants have seized a small town southeast of Yemen’s capital Sanaa Sunday in another setback to efforts to restore order after President Ali Abdullah Saleh formally handed over power following almost a year of mass protests against his rule.
A police source and witnesses said the militants met little resistance from a small police force when they entered the town of Radda in al-Baydah province, 170 km (105 miles) from Sanaa, Saturday night, seizing an ancient citadel and mosque.
The capture of Radda expanded al Qaeda control outside the southern province of Abyan, where they have taken over several towns since the uprising against Saleh began.
Saleh signed a deal brokered by Yemen’s Gulf neighbors in November under which he shifted formal power to his deputy. But he has not yet left the country and continues to wield a great deal of power through relatives’ control of security forces, raising concern about the integrity of the deal. Continue Reading →

UNESCO files complaint against Israeli delegation over Haaretz cartoon
I wonder if UNESCO called in the Afghan prime minister when he incited a riot in Afghanistan that caused the actual death of UN employees there as well as the torching of the UN building in Kabul.
A cartoon published in Haaretz causes a rift between Israel’s ambassador to UNESCO and the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
By Barak Ravid Tags: Ramallah Palestinians UNESCO Haaretz
Israel’s ambassador to UNESCO didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when a senior official at the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization called him in for a tongue-lashing on Wednesday. The reason? A cartoon published in Haaretz.
The November 4 cartoon, a riff on the government’s anger at UNESCO’s decision to accept Palestine as a full member, showed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak sending an air force squadron to attack Iran, with Netanyahu ordering, “And on your way back, you’re gonna hit the UNESCO office in Ramallah!”
The editorial cartoon in question. Photo by: Eran Wolkovsky When he met with Eric Falt, UNESCO’s assistant director general for external relations and public information, Ambassador Nimrod Barkan was stunned to be handed a copy of this cartoon and an official letter of protest from UNESCO’s director general, Irina Bokova. Falt told Barkan the cartoon constituted incitement.
“A cartoon like this endangers the lives of unarmed diplomats, and you have an obligation to protect them,” Falt said, according to an Israeli source. “We understand that there is freedom of the press in Israel, but the government must prevent attacks on UNESCO.”
Barkan pointed out that the government has no control over editorial cartoons printed in the papers. “Ask yourselves what you did to make a moderate paper with a deeply internationalist bent publish such a cartoon,” he suggested. “Perhaps the problem is with you.”
After Barkan reported the conversation to the Foreign Ministry, it cabled back: “What exactly does UNESCO want of us – to send our fine boys to protect UNESCO’s staff, or to shut down the paper? It seems your work environment is getting more and more reminiscent of ‘Animal Farm.'”
So as I understand it, if you make a joke about a UN agency in a newspaper, and a well earned one, you get reprimanded in person. But if you deliberately and knowingly incite a riot that causes the deaths of many UN employees and destruction of UN property, you don’t even get an angry letter. At least not that I am aware of.
