Is there anything the Obama admin won’t do?
More IRS totalitarianism
And here it comes…
I haven’t checked all these links yet. So I can’t guarantee them all. But the general gist of it seems to be that the Obama admin is working much faster now to destroy basic human rights in the US in order to favour Islam.
This is truly distopian. A destruction of something precious in Jurassic proportions. Its down to us now.
Thank you Gates of Vienna for getting us these links:

Obama/Holder Justice Department Threatens First Amendment
Reacting to reports that the Obama Department of Justice may prosecute those who write and post articles offensive to Muslims, Pamela Geller of the American Freedom Defense Initiative has vowed, “We will fight you on this every step of the way. We will drag your dhimmi asses all the way to the Supreme Court. This is Sharia enforcement, and we are not going to stand for it.”

At last I understand why he picked Joe Biden.
Until just this minute I really did not understand why Obama picked such an embarrassing idiot to be the VP. Suddenly it makes perfect sense.

State snoops checking out new parents
And of course, what makes this impossibly awful thing, where the state itself is discriminating against its own people in favour of anything else, is that when they say diversity they mean extinction. Because if you answered: “Yes. I love diversity. Zulu tribal homelands should be for Zulus. China should be for the Chinese and Scotland for the Scottish” you would be labelled as someone in need of immediate Maoist re-education or else perhaps not be allowed to raise your own young.
If I had read this in a book a decade ago I would have found it too unlikely for fiction.

PARENTS are being secretly judged on their views on race and diversity while in hospital with their newborn babies under the SNP Government’s latest assault on family life.
By: Ben Borland
During the scheme, parents are secretly monitored by maternity staff to judge their parenting skills
The project is part of the sinister Big Brother-style system of state meddling called Getting It Right For Every Child (GIRFEC) which is being quietly rolled out across Scotland.
Last week, this newspaper exposed the “scary” plans for all children to be given a state guardian – or Named Person – who will have the legal right to tell parents how to raise their offspring.
[…]
Under one part of the scheme, parents are secretly monitored by maternity staff to assess their suitability for raising children.
If they are deemed to be worthy of further investigation, another form then asks whether or not they “respect and value diversity” and give “due prominence to their racial, ethnic and cultural heritage”.

‘The enemy is everywhere’: Former head of MI5 calls for people to spy on neighbours following murder of soldier Lee Rigby

Former head of MI5 Dame Stella Rimington has called for British people to inform security services if they suspect their neighbours maybe extremists
Former head of MI5 Dame Stella Rimington has called for British people to inform security services if they suspect their neighbours maybe extremists.
Dame Stella, who supports the Government’s controversial ‘snoopers’ charter’, said people need to be more alert because it is impossible for security services to spot every threat.
She called for a wartime vigilance and for people to be the Government’s ‘eyes and ears’ following the killing of Lee Rigby.
The 78-year-old, who was MI5’s first female Director General, said: ‘The community has the responsibility to act as the eyes and ears, as they did during the war … where there were all these posters up saying the walls have ears and the enemy is everywhere.
Egyptian TV satirist released after questioning
Yesterday it was posted here that this particular TV satirist and heart surgeon had turned himself in to police who wanted him for daring to speak negatively about Islam and the government, which I am quite certain sees itself as religion.
As a celebrity in a volatile nation they seem to give him better treatment than they do for ordinary citizens they see as not quite so sympathetic to the regime. Even so, this person deserves major kudos for bravery. He could be a game changer. Both as a popular TV host or as a heart surgeon this person could have a pretty amazing life anywhere he chose to live. The fact that he is taking this risk to take on this horrifying and totalitarian regime for the sake of his country shows a great deal of character.

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s most popular television satirist, who every week skewers the Islamist president and hard-line clerics on his Jon Stewart-style show, was released on bail Sunday but could face charges of insulting the country’s leader and Islam.
Bassem Youssef is the most prominent critic of President Mohammed Morsi to be called in for questioning in recent weeks, in what the opposition says is a campaign to intimidate critics amid wave after wave of political unrest in deeply polarized Egypt.
Arrest warrants have been issued for five prominent anti-government activists accused of instigating violence.
Egyptian TV satirist turns himself in to police
The international community should be watching this extremely closely. This is a major event and has the potential to be a global awakening at least to who the Ikhwan is, if not Islam overall.
I certainly hope regular reports come in on the fate of this TV host.
France24:
Popular television satirist Bassem Youssef turned himself over to prosecutors on Sunday after an arrest warrant was issued against him for allegedly insulting Islam, the country’s leader Mohamed Morsi and the ruling Muslim Brotherhood party.
Prosecutors in Egypt were questioning popular satirist Bassem Youssef on Sunday over alleged insults to the president and to religion, reigniting calls for freedom of expression in post-revolt Egypt.
Youssef, whose weekly programme Albernameg (The Show) has pushed the boundaries of local television with its merciless critique of those in power, continued to challenge the authorities even as he arrived at the prosecutor’s office.
North Korea stages massive rally for the usual jingoistic reasons
H/T Magic Martin
I would like to make fun of this one as I did the previous few where it seems as if the North Koreans in ‘man on the street’ interviews were competing with religious Muslims for the worlds-worst poetry. But this one seems to have a sort of dark, Lord of the Rings Orcishness to it which seems more like it heralds a great deal of dead people rather than brainwashed zombies forced to say bad things about everywhere else in the world.
Which I think to them is limited to South Korea and the USA. Which I suspect they think is directly attached to South Korea.

I still can’t help but wonder if this is part of a joint plan with Iran to divide US resources and a new 2 front war.

Maduro: Chavez body to be permanently displayed
If anyone had any doubts that Chavez was a brutal arrogant tin pot dictator with staggering delusions of grandeur, they can put those doubts to rest now.
NBC News:
By Becky Bratu, Staff Writer, NBC News
Hugo Chavez’s body will be permanently displayed in a special tomb, Venezuela’s Vice President, Nicolas Maduro, announced Thursday on state television.
Maduro said the official state funeral will begin tomorrow at 10:30 ET. Some 30 heads of state along with delegations from 50 countries are expected to attend. Following the ceremony, Chavez’s body will lie in state for seven additional days, so that more people can see it.
Maduro, now the interim president, also announced that Chavez’s body will be preserved in the same manner as that of Russia’s Vladimir Lenin or China’s Mao Zedong, so “he will always be with the people.”
Visitors will be able to view Chavez’s body in a special tomb now under construction in the mountains where the former leader launched his revolution.
Here is a great summary of Mr. Chavez and his policies.

Want China Times, a news website operated by The China Times, reported that North Korea has approved 28 official “socialist” hairstyles.
The hairstyles are “capable of warding off the corrupting effects of capitalism,” the Times quoted ifeng.com as saying.
The cuts are about more than fashion. They are a statement about North Korea’s values, which apparently don’t include spiky hair.

According to the Times, there are separate approved styles for single and married women, with married women getting a bit more variety. Women have 18 styles to choose from overall, while men have 10.
The Times said the approved styles are seen on the walls of salons around the country. There was no mention of how the styles would be enforced.
The fashion restrictions run deeper, though.
The Times reported that the hair guidelines stipulate that men should get a haircut every 15 days and keep their hair no longer than two inches, as “longer hair apparently takes away nutrition from the brain.” Older men can have hair as long as 2.8 inches.
Egypt moves to ban alcohol, belly dancing

Daily Star:
February 18, 2013 12:20 AM
CAIRO: Two years after the Egyptian revolution that ousted President Hosni Mubarak, liberals are increasingly concerned that the ruling Islamists are out to curb personal freedoms and build a society in their own image. Nabil Abbas, the vice president of the New Urban Communities Authorities, told Reuters Sunday that the government would no longer issue licenses for the sale of alcohol in new residential settlements on the outskirts of Cairo, Alexandria and other big cities.
“NUCA has stopped renewing licenses to sell alcohol but the current ones will continue until they expire,” Abbas said.
“Representatives of the residents in new suburbs complained that the sale of alcohol leads to problems including attacking women and randomly ringing doorbells of people’s homes.”
