Darwinism and Hitler: Is There a Connection?

The leftwing Anti-Defamation League recently denounced Ben Stein's movie Expelled - No Intelligence Allowed as having "misappropriated the Holocaust." In the film Stein spends about 10 minutes showing how Darwin's theories were used by Hitler to justify his policies of eugenics, euthanasia and extermination of "lesser" races.

Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs agrees with the ADL. See his comments at this link.
However, the ADL arguments are disingenuous and Charles Johnson is wrong to adopt them as his own.

A recent article in National Review shows that Ben Stein was right and his assertions were based on "impeccable scholarship." The article by David Klinghoffer states that the Darwin-Hitler connection is not a new concept, and he quotes a number of scholars who have written about it. Nevertheless, writes Klinghoffer:

Reviewers in Time, Scientific American, Variety, Fox News, and elsewhere
have denounced the filmmakers for suggesting that Hitlerism without the
contribution of Darwinism would be hard to imagine...Expelled touches on Darwinism’s historical social costs, notably the unintended contribution to Nazi racial theories. That part packs an emotional wallop. It also happens to be based on impeccable scholarship.
Read the whole thing. If there's one thing Charles Johnson should remember, it is this: don't adopt leftist arguments uncritically without some research to see if they are justified.

A Lot of Silliness Over Ben Stein's "Expelled" Movie

I haven't seen Ben Stein's film, "Expelled - No Intelligence Allowed" but I figure it must really have tweaked the big red noses of certain scientists and academics. Think of the sound an old-fashioned car horn makes: "Bee-Beep! Bee-Beep!"

Yes, getting your big red honker tweaked can be embarrassing, especially in front of all the students you are trying to indoctrinate, the ones who are supposed to think you are an infallible genius. Scientists aren't sitting still for these nose-tweakings and have launched a counterattack at a website set up by the National Center for Science Education. The website is called "Expelled Exposed," wherein the aggrieved scientists with the swollen snoots point out all the fallacies and mistakes of Ben Stein and other neanderthalls who believe (1) that evolution is far from a proven fact, (2) that it does not explain the origins of life on Earth and, in fact, science hasn't a clue as to those origins; and (3) evolutionary scientists have themselves evolved into a quasi-religion who view skeptics as heretics, fit only for derision and ostracism.

Well the NCSE recommended another website of British scientists who explain why evolution is, in fact, fact. The website is NewScientist. NewScientist says of evolution:

If you think you understand it, you don't know nearly enough about it

It will soon be 200 years since the birth of Charles Darwin and 150 years since the publication of On the Origin of Species, arguably the most important book ever written. In it, Darwin outlined an idea that many still find shocking – that all life on Earth, including human life, evolved through natural selection.

Darwin presented compelling evidence for evolution in On the Origin and, since his time, the case has become overwhelming. Countless fossil discoveries allow us to trace the evolution of today's organisms from earlier forms. DNA sequencing has confirmed beyond any doubt that all living creatures share a common origin. Innumerable examples of evolution in action can be seen all around us, from the pollution-matching pepper moth to fast-changing viruses such as HIV and H5N1 bird flu. Evolution is as firmly established a scientific fact as the roundness of the Earth.

Well there you have it folks, evolution is a proven scientific fact and no further discussion is needed or necessary. Sort of like the facts about Global Warming.

Anyone who would say something as transparently false as NewScientist's last sentence above has already utterly destroyed all of their own credibility. Objective they are not.

NewScientist then provides a list of misconceptions about evolution as well as a list of "creationist myths," followed by their rebuttals of these misconceptions and myths. They are hardly convincing as to the evolutionist point of view. See the following example.

One "myth" NS considers is the "creationist" assertion Evolution is just so unlikely to produce complex life forms. (It is intellectually dishonest to imply that only "creationists" believe that evolution is mathematically improbable, but that's another discussion.)

Here's their argument against mathematical improbability:

To understand evolution, you need to appreciate three things. Firstly, that
quadrillion-to-one chances actually happen all the time. Secondly that, while mutation is random, which mutations survive often is not. And thirdly, given enough time, the accumulation of one beneficial mutation after another can produce amazingly complex systems. Natural selection can be seen as a kind of improbability drive that – given enough time – makes the apparently impossible extremely likely.

If you pick even the simplest creatures alive today and calculate the odds of getting their genome by randomly shuffling DNA sequences, you'll find they are pretty astronomical. Even matching the sequence of the simplest virus is stupendously unlikely.

So there you have it, folks. Quadrillion to one chances actually happen all the time. This is their answer to the "unlikely" argument?? Sounds to me like they just refuted themselves.
Well, if they are correct, any day now we can expect a roomfull of chimpanzees with keyboards to retype the complete works of Shakespeare. Or a cyclone to blow through a junkyard and create a fully assembled Boeing 787. Given enough time, it could happen.

I do believe that some form of evolution might be possible and I don't completely discount the possibility. But the whole recent arguments and mobilization of scientists to refute and demean Ben Stein and other nay-sayers only proves the point of his film: scientists are close-minded in their own way and in support of their own prejudices, and sometimes downright intolerant of other opinions.

All of which raises the question: what the heck are you evolutionary scientists so afraid of anyway?

Our Future Conquest by Islam

Little Green Footballs blog is bashing Gates of Vienna blog again. Yesterday, Gates of Vienna had a guest author who discussed the Muslim problem in Europe and possible solutions. That writer came uncomfortably close to implying that genocide might be a last-ditch solution. He wasn't advocating it, just saying that a desperate Europe might be pushed to resort to it unless things change. It was a stupid article and should not have been posted. Gates of Vienna should have foreseen the negative reaction it deservedly provoked.

Nevertheless, the growing Muslim presence in Europe is a serious threat to freedom and pluralistic democracy there. Unless something is done, Europe will be comprised of Islamic nations in 50 years. The Muslims know this. They are patient and keep on immigrating and producing babies. Europe, led by liberals, leftists and socialists, are busily committing national suicide. They have swung wide open the national gates to the barbarian hordes, all the while passing laws making it illegal to criticize Islam or warn of its dangers. Liberals are politically insane. That knowledge is the beginning of wisdom.

We do indeed need to write essays on the Muslim presence in Europe and we need to propose workable ways of dealing with it (excluding genocide of course). There are those, and LGF is rife with them, who are more interested in showing their liberal bonafides than they are in solving the problem. Other LGFers in their comments are slavish Charles Johnson ass-kissing sycophants. I often get a strong feeling that, by disagreeing with the group, I could be summarily blocked at any time. It is an oppressive feeling. I generally do agree with Charles Johnson, but not always. He is more liberal than I am, e.g. coming down on the side of the evolutionists in the Ben Stein dispute.

Many of the LGF members are operating under the false premise that Islam is just another religion and the terrorists have co-opted it. That's utterly naive. Islam is a religion/political/social system. Its core beliefs include violent conquest of the non-Muslim world and the imposition of totalitarian rule. History confirms this, with millions of non-Muslims dead or enslaved as a result.

Another core belief is the replacement of all secular systems of government with Sharia law. That's the Islamic code that requies amputation of limbs of thieves and stoning of adulterers and adulteresses.

One of the first steps the West must take to save itself from an Islamic future is to cease all further Muslim immigration into the West. That's an undebatable given. the Gates of Vienna writer was taken to task at LGF for saying that Muslims already in the West should be encouraged to leave. I agree, however, with the GOV writer. We can pay them to leave, or provide free travel to the Islamic nation of their choice. A large Muslim population is, and will continue to be, a base of logistical and moral support to home-grown terrorists and violent Jihadis. We don't need that in our midst.

Another thing we can and should do is to deny Islam recognition as a religion in the United States, thus making all of its operations taxable and subject to IRS audit. It is not a religion in the usual sense of the word, but a society of sedition that seeks to destroy our Constitution and Bill of Rights. It does not deserve a tax exempt status.

I'm off on a road trip and will be back Sunday. Have a great weekend.

Puffin' and a Grinnin'

It's cool here in Podunk where I live. It's a small town 90 miles south of San Francisco. Quite rural. There are lots of farms around, with furrowed fields and crops always growing. Lots of cows.

Today I am just puffing on a cigar underneath our new gazebo in the backyard, reading Jonah Goldberg's book, "Liberal Fascism." It's a history of fascism and Nazism and an explanation of why fascism and Nazism are ideologies of the political left, not the right. Maybe I'll blog about it later on.

I just got off of a contract project with a large construction company that is helping to rebuild the World Trade Center in New York. While I wait for a new assignment, I am just puffin' and grinnin.' That's a take off from the old Hee Haw show where Buck Owens and friends played guitars and banjos in a segment called "Pickin' and Grinnin'.

With any luck I may have time to get a nap in before bedtime.

The 911 Call of Sarah Said as She Lay Dying

Here is a video that contains Sarah Said's 911 call after having been shot by her father, Yaser Said.

Help us catch the bastard. Read the two previous posts.

A Murdered Girl's MySpace Page

One of the teenagers, Amina Said, murdered in Texas on New Year's Day 2008 had a MySpace page. It is still up and running. You can hear Amina's favorite tune and see her favorite pictures there. What a pretty and nice young lady she was.

It's touching to see pictures of her running there, so full of life, knowing that she is now dead and buried.

Amina's personal quote on her page, is, ironically: "Don't take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive."

Also ironic is the caption above her MySpace photo (at right): "I don't want to become a memory."

Her father saw to that. To help catch the bastard, read the immediately preceding post.

Help Catch a Muslim "Honor Killing" Murderer

This morning I listened to Blog Talk Radio. Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs interviewed the aunt of the slain teenage girls, Sarah and Amina Said. The aunt, Gail, is highly motivated to find and prosecute the girls' killer and father, Yaser Said.

There is a fund for the purpose of creating a reward for those who provide a tip to the police that leads to Said's capture.

Yaser drove his girls to some remote spot where he filled them with lead from a 9 mm handgun. One of the girls called 911 screaming for help. They put her on hold while her father pumped nine bullets into her body.

Yaser Said is a miserable piece of shit, a coward, a monster, a bully and a common criminal. Screw him and the vile religion that motivates him.

I have pledged $100 to the reward fund. Please help and donate whatever you can.

Those of you who live in the area of Irving, Texas, be on the lookout for this creep. It is believed that he is being sheltered by the Muslim underground in the area where the girls were killed.

Here's the post from Atlas Shrugs. See the many pictures there of the victims and the perpetrator. Post pictures of Yaser Said on your blog and alert your readers to be on the lookout. Let's catch the bastard.

WANTED FOR MURDER IN COLD BLOOD
The North Texas Crime Commission has added $10,000 to the reward money already being offered in the case of two sisters who authorities believe were killed by their father on New Year's Day.

Rewards in the case now total $20,000.

Yaser Said, an Egyptian-born cabdriver, has been missing since the shooting deaths of his two daughters, 17-year-old Sarah and 18-year-old Amina. The sisters, who were honor students and athletes at Lewisville High School, were found slain in a cab their father had borrowed at an Irving hotel. Police have said they have no leads about Mr. Said's whereabouts.
"I just think that money talks, and we've done everything else we know to do" to find him, said Gail Gartrell, the sisters' great-aunt. "I just think that getting more money up on his head is a good thing."

The crime commission's reward is for information leading to the arrest and conviction in the killings.

Schepps Dairy already was offering a $10,000 reward for an arrest and indictment in the case.
Anyone with information on Mr. Said's whereabouts can call Crime Stoppers at 1-877-373-TIPS or go to www.ntcc.crimestoppersweb .com.

The crime commission also is creating a special fund to raise more reward money.
Donations can be made out to the North Texas Crime Commission Said Fund and mailed to the North Texas Crime Commission, 1601 Elm St., Suite 2350, Dallas, TX 75201-4728.

Young Black Republicans Fight the Good Fight

I found this at Atlas Shrugs. Some young black Republicans have a blog where they fight for the same causes we do. The blog is called "Hip Hop Republican." We dig it. Give them a look and leave some encouraging comments. We need to support our friends.

Greenpeace: Putting Politics Over Science

Patrick Moore, a founder of Greenpeace, has an article in the Wall Street Journal called "Why I Left Greenpeace." Moore has a PhD in Ecology and is an accomplished scientist. He said he found that the leadership of Greenpeace was composed of politicos who were not scientists. They had a bad habit of opposing chemicals like chlorine in drinking water and other useful and harmless chemicals like phthalates, which are used to make plastics pliable.

He writes:

Sadly, Greenpeace has evolved into an organization of extremism and politically motivated agendas. Its antichlorination campaign failed, only to be followed by
a campaign against polyvinyl chloride.

Greenpeace now has a new target called phthalates (pronounced thal-ates). These are chemical compounds that make plastics flexible. They are found in everything from hospital equipment such as IV bags and tubes, to children's toys and shower curtains. They are among the most practical chemical compounds in existence.

Phthalates are the new bogeyman. These chemicals make easy targets since they are hard to understand and difficult to pronounce. Commonly used phthalates, such as diisononyl phthalate (DINP), have been used in everyday products for decades with no evidence of human harm. DINP is the primary plasticizer used in toys. It has been tested by multiple government and independent evaluators, and found to be safe.

What is it about liberals that they can refuse to acknowledge real threats (like Islamic terrorism) while creating fake ones like DDT, Chlorination and Global Warming?

Al Gore Used Fictitious Video in "An Inconvenient Truth"

Last Friday ABC News (20/20) disclosed the fact that Al Gore used a computer-generated video clip in his film "An Inconvenient Truth." Gore's video of the ("collapsing") Antartic Ice Shelf was actually a computerized segment from the eco-disaster film "The Day After Tomorrow." Gore did not identify the segment as computer-generated.

Newsbusters.org has the story and also a video clip comparing the same segment of film from both fictional films.

Today is Earth Day: End Capitalism Now

Today is "Earth Day." It's all part of the liberal worship of the earth as the new God. Evil humans are savaging the environment through industrialization, meat-eating, capitalism and SUVs. Liberals know that, in order to stop this disaster and save the earth, we must take drastic measures.

If you read all of the liberal thought on the matter, you will find that in order to save the Earth and turn it into the City of Oz, we must do the following:

1. End capitalism. There is a well-established link between prosperity and pollution and the best way to end prosperity and industrial activity is to adopt socialism. That always stops prosperity dead in its tracks.

2. Ride bikes and get rid of cars. Think of Vietnamese peasants with straw hats in thonged sandals. We must become like them. Poor.

3. Smoke lots of pot. It's the only CO2 that doesn't harm the environment, and besides, it creates good karma.

4. Stop having babies. It is an indisputable fact that Earth would be better off without humans. Think of what a paradise the Earth would be then! For squirrels.

5. Become vegetarians. Eating meat causes global warming through cow flatulance. If hamburgers were banned, farmers wouldn't raise cows, thus lowering the flatulance level. Global warming would come to a screeching halt.

6. Celebrate diversity. This has nothing to do with saving the planet, but what the heck, it sounds good.

7. Get naked. This also has nothing to do with saving the planet, but it's a moonbat tradition and besides, we like seeing naked people, especially women. This step goes especially well with No. 3 above. Even fat hippie women with hairy armpits start to look good after awhile.

8. Support wildlife. Go whale watching. We like whales because they don't have flatulance and aren't capitalists. Also, they look really cool on sweatshirts and coffee cups. Go down to the beach and kiss a seal.

Well, that's about it. I have to go now, I have to work on enlarging my carbon footprint.

"Moonbattery" Nails It: the Ugly Symbiosis of Liberals and Welfare Dependents

One of my favorite blogs, Moonbattery, discusses an article in the Daily Mail today, about welfare families who have never worked. It's called the "Why Bother" economy, where a large subculture exists on government welfare and has no motivation or will to work for a living. Their political activity is to continually vote for those politicians who will protect and raise their benefits.

The situation in a nutshell: welfare recipients vote for liberals in order to get benefits. Liberals support welfare benefits in order to get votes. It is a digusting form of symbiosis where welfare slugs and liberal politicians scratch each other's backs, with you and I paying the freight.

Van Helsing, owner of Moonbattery, really nails it. He writes:
Basically, liberalism has reduced humans to farm animals. Just like
chickens are raised by farmers for their eggs, welfare dependents are raised by
the State for their votes.
I have never read a better explanation for the welfare-dependent subculture. Van Helsing, you da man.

The situation in the United States, however, is not as bad as it was before welfare reform. It's still quite bad in Britain.

The Muslim Who Murdered His Daughters

Atlas Shrugs is going all out to help track and capture Yaser Said, an Egyptian living in Texas who killed his two teenage daughters in December 2007.

The two girls, Sarah and Amina Said, were by all appearances, normal teenage girls. Pictures taken of the girls show them to be fun-loving and full of life. Their father did not approve of their western ways and claimed that they had "dishonored" the family - just for being normal adolescents. See picture at right.

In December Said drove the girls somewhere, shot them both, then dumped the bodies. He then caught a plane back to Egypt. Another Muslim "honor killing" had been carried out.

To murder one's own children is an unnatural act of pure barbarism, but such killings are commonplace in Islamic society. Many honor killings now occur among the Muslim populations of Europe. Young women are murdered for such things as marrying an infidel, marrying someone not selected for her by the family, having sex while unmarried, and even for being raped. Some women have been murdered simply upon the suspicion that they were involved with a man.

"Honor" killings only confirm the vile and evil nature of Islam and every culture it infects. Islam particularly hates and fears women. It is the most misogynistic culture in the world. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Islam is a religion that turns men into monsters.

Keep an eye out for Yaser Said. If you see him anywhere, call the police. See Atlas Shrugs for more details on how you can help in this effort.

There is a photo of Yaser Said at the right. He's one tough customer -- when confronting helpless teenage girls, that is.

Jimmy Carter: A Disgusting Human Being

To me, there is no American president more repugnant than Jimmy Carter. This ass-hat has been carrying water for the Jew-hating Muslim terrorists for quite a while.

If you really want to see just how obnoxious and obtuse Jimmy Carter is, you need to see this film from the Terrorism Awareness Project. It refutes a number of lies that Carter and other Palestinian supporters regularly put forth.

The film is a bit grisly in parts, where Israeli bombing victims are shown. It's not for the squeamish, so if you have a weak stomach, don't go there.

Even worse, they show an actual mug shot of Jimmy Carter. It is quite frightening.

...

The Theory of Evolution: A Crock or Scientific Fact?

Ben Stein has released a documentary called "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed." The film is about the intolerance of big Science and academia to those who question the theory of evolution. Various professors are interviewed and tell of academic persecution for their lack of faith in Darwinism. One is told to shut up, another is denied tenure, others are socially ostracized. The trailer to this film follows this text. Do watch it.

The liberal/left faction of academia simply cannot allow competing ideologies on the origins of life on earth. The reason is simple: if life didn't evolve from the muck by blind chance, then God might actually exist. If there is anything the liberal left hates, it is a belief in God. Such beliefs must be repressed at all costs.

I once was a biology major in college and took quite a few courses in biology, zoology, anthropology, chemistry, botany and genetics. I believed in the theory of evolution as fact because it was taught as fact in the college classroom.

Today I am not a member of any organized religion, but I have an open mind about God, creation and everything else. This means that I do not have a vested interest in either evolution or creationism. However, I know that Stein is right about the rigid and closed-mindedness of academia. They are a snooty lot, given to great disdain for the "ignorant"masses who do not subscribe to their theories.

As Stein points out in the film, the smallest unit of life, the cell, is astoundingly complex. One living cell is more complicated and intricate than, say, New York City. Yet we are supposed to believe that a cell first evolved from a mud puddle that was struck by lightening, or some other such random, improbable event.

My mind was not always open on this subject. I believed in evolution. I would not consider the possibility that it was wrong. Ann Coulter opened my mind by devoting a chapter to the subject in one of her books. Once my mind was opened, I was able to see the inconsistencies and improbabilities in the theory as well as the rigid dogmatism of its proponents.

So does that mean God created life on earth? Hell yes. I always believed that, even though I thought he chose a rather slow and cumbersome way to do it (in evolution). Now I am open to the possibilities that he chose better ways to do it. How? I have no idea, and that doesn't bother me in the least. There's a lot to be said for retaining our childlike awe at the vast, wonderful, imponderable universe - while continuing our search for answers.

Battle Hymn of the Republic - Pope's Visit to USA 4/16/2008

Rush Limbaugh has been commenting on the US Army choir that sang for the Pope's visit last week. They gave a very moving rendition of the Civil War song, "Battle Hymn of the Republic." Limbaugh played the song several times on his radio show, asking listeners in cars to roll down the windows and turn up the volume. It was indeed moving. Watch the video below and see what he means. The words to the song, written by Julia Howe in 1861, are below the video, in case you want to sing along.


Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

I have seen Him in the watch fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence in the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His day is marching on.

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free;
While God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

Note: The army's version was shortened for time. It left out three verses, including the best of them:

I have read a fiery Gospel writ in burnished rows of steel;
“As ye deal with My contemners, so with you My grace shall deal”;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with His heel,
Since God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Since God is marching on.

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet;
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on.

He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
He is wisdom to the mighty, He is honor to the brave;
So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of wrong His slave,
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on.

Zombie Intercepts Obama on "Billionaires' Row"

Zombie is the sobriquet of a photojournalist in San Francisco who shows up at leftwing and moonbat events and takes photos. Zombie then posts the photos on her website at www.zombietime.com.

Zombie's actual gender is unknown, but from recent posts at Little Green Footballs, I have the impression that Zombie is a lady rather than a man. In any case, Zombie is a local conservative hero to the blogosphere. She (he?) shows up at peace demonstrations, San Quentin executions and events featuring Democratic candidates and takes interesting photos.

Last week Zombie got wind of a largely unpublicized visit by Barack Obama to a fundraiser hosted by the super rich of San Francisco society. Zombie figured out where Obama would be and showed up to take pictures of the multimillionaires who drove up to the Getty mansion to attend. Zombie got some great pictures, including some close-ups of Obama. Zombie then broke the story of Obama's big gaffe in describing the not-so-rich voters of Pennsylvania as "bitter."

Do visit Zombie's page on the event at this link.

Way to go, Zombie. You da man! Or da lady, whatever. We love ya.

Brian Sussman of KSFO talk radio discussed Zombie's photos on his evening radio show today. I listened to him through my computer, viewing the pictures on Zombie's site as they were discussed. Talk about a real-time, multimedia discussion of the event! Pretty cool.

It's In the Koran: We're Toast

It's multiculturalism night at the movies! Why do they hate us? This is the film about the Koran that Geert Wilders passed on in favor of "Fitna," though I don't know why. This one has a mutch catchier tune.

Note: This video seems to be deactivated on a daily basis but someone keeps putting it back on YouTube. Watch it while you can before the Islamic apologizing censors at YouTube remove it again.

In the probable event that the terrorist ass-kissers at YouTube remove the video again, you can view it at the author's website. Click on this link. You can also download the video from the author's webpage here.

Do We Owe Muslims an Apology?

Update: The original version was removed from YouTube, but there is a replacement. It is now linked below.

Found at the Jawa Report. Pass it on.

Note: This video seems to be deactivated on a daily basis but someone keeps putting it back on YouTube. Watch it while you can before the Islamic apologizing censors at YouTube remove it again.

A Response to the Critics of "Fitna"

The Islamists and their apologists have been complaining loudly over Geert Wilder's film, "Fitna." Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch gives them an answer.

Downloading and Converting "Fitna" and Other Films

Last night I was in a hurry to download a copy of the new Fitna and get it into a format with a manageable size for download. I went to Google videos and found the new English version. Unfortunately, they removed the URL needed to download it. However, they still allowed a download of a high quality film in MP4 format (for use on IPods), but which also plays on Quicktime. I downloaded it and it plays very well on Quicktime, which you can download for free.

To download the video for Ipod and Quicktime, go to this link and click the download button to the right of the screen.

However, I wanted a copy in wmv format to download from Saber Point, I bit the bullet and bought some software that allows me to export the file into various formats. I bought a copy of AVS4You software to convert it to wmv format, which will play on just about any version of Windows. At $56 it isn't cheap but it does work very well. I'm glad I bought it.

I exported it into one of the lowest quality formats in WMV (to keep the file size smaller for faster downloading), but it still looks great. I now have it available for download. If you use download manager (from download.com) you can download it in less than a minute.

To download the new English or Dutch versions of Fitna, see the post preceding this one directly below.

New Version of Fitna Now Posted for Free Download

Update: New English version of Fitna now available for download.
Update 2, Jan 21, 2010:  The files have been moved to a new download site.  Just click on the links and you can download easily.

Rusty at the Jawa Report says he received a communication from Geert Wilders requesting that he not put the old version of Fitna on his website. Wilders was threatened with lawsuits from both the artist of the Muhammad the Bombhead cartoon and from a rapper who was mistakenly identified as a terrorist. The new version corrects both of these problems.

We have removed all of the older versions of Fitna.

English Version: Download the English version of the new Fitna here.

Dutch Version: Download the Dutch version of the new Fitna here.

Fox News Posts Video on New York Muslim's Hate Site

Fox News has a video on the asshat known as Yousef Al-Khattab. He is a Jewish Muslim convert who is openly pro-Jihadi and anti-American. We reported on his recent wedding here.

Muslims Protest Fitna for Telling the Truth

Muslims are all upset about Fitna. Some say it is "slander" of Islam, but all it does is quote actual scriptures from the Koran, actual words from Muslim leaders and imams, and actual violent deeds perpetrated by Muslims. It's hard to figure how truth can be slander. However, my friend Nelson expresses my feelings on the matter.

Hey, we were a little upset over 9/11, London, Spain, and a few hundred other violent terrorist attacks. Welcome to the club.

Alfred Hitchcock's Film on the Holocaust - 1945

Alfred Hitchcock made a documentary on the liberation of the German concentration camps in 1945. However, British authorities decided the film was too grisly to be shown to the public and it remained on the shelf for 60 years. The film was finally released in 2007. It is posted to Google video, or you can watch it below.

It's important to remember what we have to lose in the war against Islam. Those who want to create a new holocaust will certainly do so if given the chance. We must not allow that to happen or we have learned nothing from history.

Jesse Ventura: "9/11 Was an Inside Job" UPDATE

Jesse Ventura has made a collossal jackass of himself by voicing the inanity of the so-called Troofers movement, i.e., that 9/11 was an inside job.

Now this political has-been can get invited to all the best Hollywood parties where such tripe is considered brave instead of insane.

Get a life, Jesse.
...
Update: Jesse Ventura proved himself a jackass when he made ignorant comments about the WTC 7 without doing any reading on it whatsoever. His statements are irresponsible in the extreme and, therefore, he has earned the title of Jackass. He says:
Two planes struck two buildings....but how is it that a third building [WTC 7] fell 5
hours later?" asked Ventura, "How could this building just implode into its own
footprint 5 hours later - that's my first question - the 9/11 Commission didn't
even devote one page to that in their big volume of investigation," added the
former Governor.
Well Jesse, why don't you try reading some peer-reviewed engineering and other reports about WTC 7 instead of just mouthing off? Like the ones found at this links page, for example. Then you might discover that WTC 7 had a huge bite taken out of the southwest corner by debris hitting it from the other buildings. On the south side, there was a huge hole about 20 stories high, according to the firemen who were on the scene. There were numerous fires on almost every floor that were out of control. These are the causes of the building's collapse.

Below is video footage of WTC 7 (the "pink building" as one fireman called it) in its last couple of hours before collapse. Conspiracy theorists like to show pictures of the north side of the building, which appears almost pristine. The south side, however, had huge clouds of smoke emanating from the entire length of the building. The building was buckling and debris beginning to fall off. Firemen on the scene described the building as "creaking and moaning." The support columns were weakened by the fire and the weight of 40 stories on these weakened supports caused the building to pancake.

Watch the video and see for yourself. Jesse Ventura, if you're out there, watch it too. We will be expecting a public withdrawal of your remarks and an apology to the FDNY, the Bush Administration, the families of the 9/11 dead and to me in particular for having to rebut you.

Links to 9/11 Conspiracy Rebuttals

Here are some links worthy of review by those interested in rebutting 9/11 conspiracy theories:

1. Popular Mechanics - Debunking the 9/11 Myths: A Special Report

2. Debunking 9/11 Conspiracy Theories and Controlled Demolition Myths. Here is a website that keeps up with the conspiracy theories as they transform and reshape to avoid each new rebuttal. There are lots of photos, videos and texts.

There is also a comprehensive links page to other articles, news stories and peer-reviewed engineering reports on the collapse of the towers.

3. 9-11 Loose Change Second Edition Viewer Guide - And debunking of various 9/11 conspiracy theories. A detailed list of 9/11 conspiracy topics with rebuttals. Highly recommended.

4. There is No 9/11 Conspiracy You Morons. A very funny page that has a simple argument why the 9/11 conspiracy isn't true: the conspiracy theorists are still alive.

If you know of other blogs and websites that should be on this list, post a message and we will add it.

Questions for the 9/11 Conspiracy Theorists

I've been picking up some flak lately from the so-called Troofers, the leftwing losers who want to believe that George Bush plotted and executed the destruction of the Twin Towers on 9/11/2001. Such claims are so patently absurd on their face that I have to suppress feelings of disgust and anger. Nevertheless, let's pretend that the Troofers are more than just paranoid losers and ask them some questions. Here they are.

1. What was the motive? What possible purpose would George Bush have had to destroy the Twin Towers? Give me a plausible scenario. What did he have to gain by it? Where is the money trail? Show how these goals have been achieved in the years since 9/11. This is the weakest part of your whole argument -- no plausible motive has ever been described.

2. Describe a plausible scenario. George Bush was in office for eight months before the 9/11 attack. Give me a plausible scenario on how he plotted and orchestrated the event, such as:
a. Getting the tons of explosives into the buildings and placed against internal beams as is required in a controlled demolition, without anyone noticing what was going on.
b. Explain what team of engineers carried out the planting of the charges. Why do you suppose none of them ratted Bush out? Do you think any of them might have had second thoughts about murdering thousands of people? Do you think any of them had any morals or conscience about it? Why do you suppose no one blew the whistle, before the event or after?
c. Were planes flown into the World Trade Center? If not, how do you explain the film and the hundreds of witnesses who saw them? How do you explain that two commercial jets disappeared, along with their crew and passengers, never to be heard from again?

3. Explain the inhumanity of the hundreds needed to carry out the plot. Your theories do not seem reasonable considering human psychology. Explain why hundreds, if not thousands, of people in the military or CIA or other agencies would go along with such a massive and evil plot, without exposing it before or after the event.

Do you actually believe that Bush and a crew of hundreds of conspirators could be so evil and ruthless that they would or could kill 3,000 people? Are they homicidal maniacs? How does Bush reconcile this with his evangelical Christian beliefs? Do you think he might be afraid of going to Hell? Do you think he feels guilty?

4. Explain Osama Bin Laden. What was Osama Bin Laden's role in the plot? Why did he take credit for accomplishing the 9/11 atrocity? Why do London Muslims celebrate "the Magnificent Nineteen"? Was the first Muslim attack on the World Trade Center (under Clinton) also a plot or did it really happen?

Related questions: Who were the 19 Muslims who flew the planes? Did they even exist? Were they CIA agents? Support your argument.

Does radical Islam desire to harm us and carry out terrorist attacks like 9/11, the London and Spanish bombings? Or is that all just an illusion or deception by the Bush administration?
A plausible scenario is below.

An Intelligent Discussion of the Conspiracy Buffs

After writing the previous post, I did a Google search on the psychology of conspiracy theorists (like the so-called Troofers "9/11 Was an Inside Job").

I found a very intelligent and well-written discussion at the blog "Eject, Eject, Eject." It was written almost one year ago to the day. The post is called "Seeing the Unseen." If you want to better understand the psychology of conspiracy theorists, do read it.

I will have to add this blog to my blog roll. This guy is good.

The Worldwide Massive Conspiracy Unveiled!

The conspiracy theorists are swarming like bugs around the backyard porch light on a summer night. They are so close to the real TRUTH about everything, and everything has been a massive conspiracy. Behind the scenes, the evil United States Government is plotting and planning, manipulating world leaders and corporate executives, who prance and dance at the government's command, like spastic puppets on strings.

Let's review the massive conspiracies of recent years and the REAL TRUTH.

1. The assassination of President Kennedy. Ostensibly, the most powerful man in the world was gunned down by a social misfit loser named Lee Harvey Oswald. The truth is that Oswald was framed, set up as a patsy by a massive conspiracy involving the CIA, the FBI, the Dallas Police, the Military Industrial Complex, munitions manufacturers, the Skull and Bones Society, and the International Organization of Odd Fellows. Did I leave anyone out? Oh yeah, the Grassy Knoll. The Grassy Knoll is the code name for the top conspirator who oversaw the action on the ground, orchestrating the whole event like a symphony conductor on speed.

The reason that Kennedy was assassinated? He was for socialism, peace and civil rights. He wanted to end the War in Vietnam, thus cancelling billions in lucrative military contracts. Either that or he had been messing around with the wives of the 10,000 conspirators and was shot by a whole lot of jealous husbands.

2. The assassination of Robert Kennedy. See above.

3. The assassination of Martin Luther King. See above.

4. The moon landings. We are supposed to believe that the government spent millions sending guys in funny suits to the moon to gather rocks that look like quartz, when they could pick that stuff up at any rock shop. The TRUTH: the landings were faked in the Arizona desert where there is lots of sand. All of those Saguaro cactuses in the background were a dead giveaway, along with the Circle K minimarts and sunburned tourists. The REASON for the massive conspiracy: to embarrass the Russians and win billions of appropriations for space exploration that was actually diverted to the military-industrial complex to use in suppressing human rights in third world countries, polluting the environment, undermining social justice and giving the conspirators something to laugh about over brandy and cigars at their ultra-secret meetings in the Skull and Crossbones Society.

5. The death of Princess Diana. We are supposed to believe that a common car crash killed this popular and beautiful socialite. The TRUTH: the wrecked car was demolished in a government laboratory, flown to France and planted, along with dead bodies, in the underground roadway with several dozen CIA agents posing as papparazi. The REASON for this conspiracy is that Princess Diana was going to marry a Saudi Arabian and this would prove embarrassing to British upperclass snobs, as well as the fact that Diana was mounting a worldwide campaign against land mines, thus causing the military-industrial complex to lose important business needed to fund undermining efforts against third world countries, social justice and polluting the environment. Not to mention the clubbing of baby seals.

6. The 9/11 terrorist attack that destroyed the World Trade Center. Supposedly nineteen Muslims flew two commercial jets into the Twin Towers, one into the Pentagon, and another into a field in Pennsylvania. However, the movie films and photographs of the planes smashing into the towers were all faked with Photoshop. Hundreds of so-called witnesses were actually CIA agents who lied about seeing these things.

The TRUTH is that the Twin Towers were destroyed by controlled demolition from hundreds of planted charges that a large team of CIA engineers planted in the buildings over the weeks preceding the attacks. Posing as employees, the engineers smuggled in tons of explosives in their lunch pails and gave plausible explanations ("remodeling") for the destruction of walls throughout the buildings so the charges could be planted next to critical support beams.

Airplane parts and other debris were scattered about on the roofs of surrounding buildings to make it all look real. This was all done minutes before the controlled demolitions, without anyone noticing, which shows just how sneaky and talented these conspirators actually were. It was difficult getting all of those plane parts into the elevator.

Osama Bin Laden took the credit for the plot, but he is actually just another CIA agent and major stockholder in Big Oil and munitions industries. It is a well-known fact that Bin Laden is a Republican Jewish Rabbi and a member of the Skull and Crossbones society where he frequently meets, wearing a black suit and sunglasses, with Bush and Cheney over fine brandy and expensive cigars, their evil laughs echoing off the dark chamber walls like something out of a horror flick.

Either that or space aliens destroyed the Towers with laser beams from outer space because they were upset about Global Warming. Or both.

The REASON for the destruction of the towers was to give Bush and Cheney an excuse for making war on peaceful Muslims, gain funding from Congress for a war in Iraq where these two evil men could grab Iraqi oilfields and give lucrative contracts to Haliburton, in which they both own stock anonymously through proxies. Also, so they could get money to suppress the civil rights of al-Qaida terrorists, obstruct social justice and pollute the environment.

Now you know the truth. Thanks to the Truthers Movement who supplied the above explanations.

Absolut Vodka Advertises "Reconquista"; My Photoshop Reply

If you've been following Michelle Malkin lately, you know that Absolut Vodka is advertising in Mexico. Their ad shows a big map of Canada, the USA and Mexico. Except Mexico has been increased in size and now incorporates most of California, Texas and Arizona.

This is to appeal to the "reconquista" desires of many Mexican nationals and immigrants. They owned this land once and they want it back. All of the shining cities and resources and roads and factories and airports and trains and tracks and other infrastructure. All the good stuff built by the Yanquis.

The only problem is that, if they had owned it all these years instead of us, the area would likely resemble the rest of Mexico, not the modern, world-class cities that are there now. We ain't givin' it back, amigos.

And remember, we might just want to shorten the word "reconquista" to "conquista" plain and simple. Two can play that game.

The two ads appear to the right. The first (on top) is the actual ad. The second is my Photoshopped response.

Setting Fire to the Qur'an: an Iranian Protest

An Iranian man is attempting to start a protest movement in Iran. He says he will burn a copy of the Qur'an every day until Iran reforms. See his website here: http://www.fireonquran.com/He says:

I have decided to set Quran on fire as long as Islamic dictatorship of Iran:

1. doesn't commit to Universal Declaration of Human Rights rules;

2. doesn't stop executions;

3. doesn't free students and opposition from prison;

4. doesn't bring justice in Judiciary system and society.

I believe religious disobedience is the key to save Iranian people from ruling mullahs. They preach that Islam is religion of peace and freedom which is a hypocrisy in reality. So as long as this hypocrisy goes in Iran, this fire is on Quran and I will continue to do so for unlimited time. Also I encourage you to set fire on Quran in every corner and leave the rest of it in the city because this movement should spread itself among everyday people. I chose this date because it's Islamic sacred month in the Islamic calendar which in this month the Hajj Pilgrimage takes place. So setting Quran on fire, I am sending this message to mullahs (clergies) who live in hypocrisy that if Islam has not brought peace and prosperity in Iran for Iranians as logic suggests, we should get rid of it like what I am doing. Also I am asking you to support this campaign.

This man is risking his life to defy the mullahs. May God protect him.

If Islam were a person, he would be a homicidal lunatic

Al-Qaida's No. 2 Slime insulted the intelligence of millions today, per a story on MSNBC.

Al-Qaida No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri, rejecting criticism of attacks by the terror network's followers that have killed thousands, maintained Wednesday that it does not target innocent people.
Al-Qaida has claimed responsibility for the Sept. 11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York and Washington in 2001, while its affiliates in Iraq, Afghanistan and Algeria regularly set off bombs in crowded urban areas that have taken thousands of lives. "If there is any innocent who was killed in the mujahedeen's operations, then it was either an unintentional error or out of necessity," al-Zawahri said. (Read it all.)
This would appear to be the worst case possible of baldfaced lying. But no doubt al-Zawahri wasn't lying. Muslim fanatics believe that there is no such thing as an innocent Infidel. We who deny the legitimacy of Muhammad's Prophethood and the existence of the monster god Allah, are subject to immediate death if they catch us.

But not if we catch them first.

Fighting Back at Muslim Censorship

Resolve Not to Back Down

No matter how hard the Muslim leaders get, we are not backing down on the distribution and viewing of "Fitna" and other films that expose the violent, intolerant and toltalitarianist nature of Islam. Let them scream -- as the old saying goes, "When you start receiving flak, you know you're over the target."

Broadcasting "Fitna" Through Bit Torrent

If you know how to use Bit Torrent, you can set up your computer to be a broacasting station for Fitna downloads. I am researching this technology now and will soon post an article on how to do it. You remain anonymous to the downloaders.

How to Preserve YouTube Videos for Further Distribution

I am already broadcasting Fitna through bit torrent, but don't understand it well enough to write that article just yet. Meanwhile, I have been downloading other Muslim exposés from YouTube for future distribution, including "Radical Islam: What the West Needs to Know" and "Obsession - Radical Islam's Attack on the West."

On YouTube these films are broken into ten separate downloads to keep each part under the 10 MB maximum that YouTube allows. Once you download them all, you can reassemble them into a complete film using Windows Movie Maker. I tried it and it worked just fine. Windows Vista and XP come with Windows Movie Maker already installed.

What Videos to Look For

We need to begin collecting all of the most effective films about the violent nature of Islam. If you know of other titles that should be included, do leave me a message here and I will look for them. We should include any videos of Muslims preaching hatred and otherwise exposing the evil nature of this vile relgion. The video below is a good example, and yes, I have already downloaded a copy in case YouTube decides to give into Muslim censorship.

A Good Example of Videos to Keep: "Killing of Non-Muslims is Legitimate (British Mullah)"

Latest News on Fitna

Live Leak has removed the film Fitna from its database once again. This time it was because Geert Wilders requested its removal to edit the film. Wilders has been threatened with a lawsuit by the cartoonist who drew the famous bombhead Muhammad of the Danish cartoons controversy. Wilders used the bombhead cartoon in "Fitna," and the artist wants it removed. This is not surprising, since Muslims have called for the cartoonist's death over the drawing and he does not want any more publicity over it.

Indonesian Muslims have demanded that YouTube remove all copies of "Fitna" from its website or they will block YouTube from access in Indonesia.

Credits for this story go to AtlasShrugs, Snapped Shot and Hummers & Cigarettes. Links for the latter two are included in the above text.

Jonah Goldberg on Fitna

Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online comments on the film "Fitna" today. He writes:

Wilders’ film could easily get him killed. It picks up the work of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh, who was murdered in 2004 by a jihadi for criticizing Islam. Fitna is provocative, but it has good reason to provoke. A cancer of violence, bigotry, and cruelty is metastasizing within the Islamic world. It’s fine for Muslim moderates to say they aren’t part of the cancer; and that some have, in response to the film, is a positive sign. But more often, diagnosing or even observing this cancer — in film, book or cartoon — is dubbed “intolerant,” while calls for violence, censorship, and even murder are treated as understandable, if regrettable, expressions of anger.

Read it all here.

A man has put his life on the line to allow Muslims to tell the truth about their own religion, i.e., that it hates the West and hates Jews, and that it intends to conquer or kill us. The least you can do is to view the film.

Indonesians Call For Death of Geert Wilders

Over the past three days the greatest number of visitors has been from Indonesia to download Fitna. Maybe they just want to see what all the fuss is about. The story below gives some perspective on the perpetually angry Muslims in that country.
Fitna Rage in Indonesia: "The Dutch government must arrest him. Wilders must be killed because he has declared war on Muslims."

Religion of Peace. "Indonesian protesters call for death of Dutch anti-Islam filmmaker," from the CBC: Outcry over a Dutch politician's anti-Islam film
continued Monday, with hard-line Muslims in Indonesia calling for the man's
death.

Hat tip: AtlasShrugs
The quote above, "Wilders must be killed because he has declared war on Muslims" is typical of the rank hypocrisy of many Muslims. Fitna merely showed the deadly acts and hateful words of Muslims themselves. It is Islam who has declared war, not Geert Wilders. By their own words and deeds, they have declared war on all mankind.

May God protect and preserve the life of Geert Wilders.

Pat Condell Discusses Fitna

I found this at Little Green Footballs. It's good enough that I thought some of our many new visitors should see it.
