Muhammad Caricature Watch: Manifesto Against ISLAMISM
The Muhammad Caricatures. The individual caricatures are here.
Published in today’s Indland Jyllands-Posten (Denmark):
MANIFESTO: Together facing the new totalitarianism
After having overcome fascism, Nazism, and Stalinism, the world now faces a new totalitarian global threat: Islamism.
We, writers, journalists, intellectuals, call for resistance to religious totalitarianism and for the promotion of freedom, equal opportunity and secular values for all.
The recent events, which occurred after the publication of drawings of Muhammed in European newspapers, have revealed the necessity of the struggle for these universal values. This struggle will not be won by arms, but in the ideological field. It is not a clash of civilisations nor an antagonism of West and East that we are witnessing, but a global struggle that confronts democrats and theocrats.
Like all totalitarianisms, Islamism is nurtured by fears and frustrations. The hate preachers bet on these feelings in order to form battalions destined to impose a liberticidal and unegalitarian world. But we clearly and firmly state: nothing, not even despair, justifies the choice of obscurantism, totalitarianism and hatred. Islamism is a reactionary ideology which kills equality, freedom and secularism wherever it is present. Its success can only lead to a world of domination: man’s domination of woman, the Islamists’ domination of all the others. To counter this, we must assure universal rights to oppressed or discriminated people.
We reject « cultural relativism », which consists in accepting that men and women of Muslim culture should be deprived of the right to equality, freedom and secular values in the name of respect for cultures and traditions. We refuse to renounce our critical spirit out of fear of being accused of “Islamophobia”, an unfortunate concept which confuses criticism of Islam as a religion with stigmatisation of its believers.
We plead for the universality of freedom of expression, so that a critical spirit may be exercised on all continents, against all abuses and all dogmas.
We appeal to democrats and free spirits of all countries that our century should be one of Enlightenment, not of obscurantism.

Methamphetamine Watch: Ads Battle Methamphetamine in Montana
Photo Courtesy of Montana Meth Project
New York Times: With Scenes of Blood and Pain, Ads Battle Methamphetamine in Montana
The camera follows the teenager as she showers for her night out and looks down to discover the drain swirling with blood. She turns and sees her methamphetamine-addicted self cowering below, oozing from scabs she has picked all over her body because the drug made her think there were bugs crawling beneath her skin, and she lets out a scream worthy of “Psycho.”
Turn on prime time television here, and chances are this or another commercial like it will interrupt.
The spots are part of the Montana Meth Project, a saturation campaign paid for by Thomas M. Siebel, a software billionaire and part-time resident who fell in love with Montana’s vast skies and soaring mountains as a ranch hand in college and now wants to shock the state away from a drug that has ravaged it.
Since it began in September, the project has become the biggest advertiser in the state, blanketing radio, television, newspapers and billboards with advertisements so raw that officials quickly asked that they be removed from television before 7 p.m. Now, with other states expressing interest in the campaign, Mr. Siebel and state officials say they want to make it a national template for halting a problem that has cursed many largely poor, rural states.

Like most states, Montana has restricted pseudoephedrine, the cold medicine that is the key ingredient in homemade methamphetamine, only to discover that demand for the drug remains just as high and has been met by imported methamphetamine.
State officials say the drug is responsible for 80 percent of the prison population — and 90 percent of female inmates — and about half the foster care population.
“It’s destroying families; it’s destroying our schools; it’s destroying our budgets for corrections, social services, health care,” Gov. Brian Schweitzer said. “We’re losing a generation of productive people. My God, at the rate we’re going, we’re going to have more people in jail than out of jail in 20 years.
Education is the key to combating this HORRID drug.
The Combat Methamphetamine Act which will be passed when The Patriot Act is signed into law will help and tighter border control laws/enforcement aimed at Mexican drug cartels are imperative.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Watch: Meathead Economics
California Governor Arnold Schwarzengger and Hollywood Producer and First 5 California Children and Families Commission Chairman, Rob Reiner.
The Wall Street Journal: Meathead Economics
Hollywood liberals drive productive Californians to leave the state.It takes hard work to drive anyone away from California’s sunshine and scenic vistas, but politicians in Sacramento have been up to the task.
But the worst growth killer may well be California’s tax system. The business tax rate of 8.8% is the highest in the West, and its steeply “progressive” personal income tax has an effective top marginal rate of 10.3%, or second highest in the nation. CalTax, the state’s taxpayer advocacy group, reports that the richest 10% of earners pay almost 75% of the entire income-tax revenue in the state, and most of these are small0business owners, i.e., the people who create jobs.
And things may soon get worse, thanks to Rob Reiner, who played the liberal “Meathead” on the “All in the Family” sitcom in the 1970s and now plays the same part in real life. He and his rich Hollywood friends have put an initiative on the state’s June ballot that would add a 1.7-percentage-point income-tax surcharge on “millionaires” with income over $400,000, with the proceeds earmarked for universal pre-school.
Class warfare politics – don’t you love it. Soak the rich to pay for universal pre-school because President Bush and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will NOT enforce the immigration laws with Mexico and Central America. After all, who is the beneficiary of universal pre-school?Meathead Rob Reiner has helped qualify Proposition 82 (Preschool Education. Tax on Incomes Over $400,000 for Individuals; $800,000 for Couples. Initiative Constitutional Amendment and Statute.) for the California June ballot. As Chairman of First 5 California Children and Families Commission Reiner used taxpayer money (from a tobacco tax surcharge) to air televison ads clearly in support of qualifying the initiative, Proposition 82 for the ballot. Hugh Hewitt has been all over the story.
The text of Proposition 82 is here (pdf file).
So, what will Proposition 82 do to California taxpayers?
All of this has contributed to the trend of wealthy taxpayers disappearing from the state. State finance office data indicate that the number of Californians reporting million-dollar incomes fell to 25,000 in 2003 from 44,000 in 2000. That decline has cost the state $9 billion a year in uncollected tax revenues. The dot-com implosion of 2000 and 2001 no doubt wiped out many paper millionaires, but migration out of the state to escape its hefty tax premium has also played a role. Republican Assemblyman Ray Haynes notes that the average high-income individual can buy a newly built house in neighboring Nevada and pay for it just from the money saved in a year of not paying California taxes.
The state has been here before, as a new report from economist Arthur Laffer reminds us. In the early 1990s under Republican Governor Pete Wilson, the state raised its top income-tax rate to 11%, triggering one of the worst fiscal crises in the state’s history. Tax revenue fell as high-income people fled the state, while public debt exploded. That tax surcharge was removed in 1995, but now the state’s politicians want to do it all over again.
Why, of course, high income earners will simply shift residency or their businesses to neighboring Nevada or Arizona. Some will just leave California as many of Flap’s patients and colleagues have done over the past decade. After all, why pay for illegal immigrant’s childrens pre-school? California taxpayers paid for OUR childrens pre-school with AFTER-TAX dollars and what help did we receive from the State of California?
But, you say, it is only the rich that will pay. Does the reader really believe this program will be any different than K-12 public education in California? Will the program expand with the growth of illegal immigration? Will the unions bid up the pay and benefits for the teachers and school workers? Once establsihed as an entitlement will it be hard to resist lowering the tax surcharge threshold or pay for it with California general fund monies?
You betcha on all counts…….
Some solutions and call to action…….
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger should immediately replace Rob Reiner as Chairman of First 5 California Children and Families Commission
California Controller Steve Westly should immediately call for an audit of First 5 California Children and Families Commission
California Attorney General Bill Lockyer should investigate and prosecute any malfeasance in the Proposition 82 television advertising FLAP
Campaign and VOTE against Proposition 82

Iran Nuclear Watch: IAEA Report – “Iran DETERMINED to Expand Uranium Enrichment”
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, left, walks accompanied by the Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmed Al Sabah, right, at the Bayan Palace, Bayan, Kuwait City on Monday, Feb. 27, 2006. Ahmadinejad arrived Monday for a brief visit to this small oil-rich ally of Washington, the same day Egypt’s president was scheduled to visit.
ASSociated Press: Iran Reportedly Aims to Widen Nuke Program
Iran appears determined to expand its uranium enrichment program — a key international concern because of fears it could eventually make nuclear weapons, the International Atomic Energy Agency said in a new report Monday.
The U.N. watchdog, in a confidential report made available to The Associated Press, said Iran plans to start setting up thousands of uranium enriching centrifuges this year even as it negotiates with Russia on scrapping such domestic activity.
And isn’t that what Flap said THE FIRST TIME!
Vital Perspective has the Full Text of the Embargoed IAEA Report on Iran’s Nuclear Program here.
PDF file here.The 11-page report emphasized that a more than three-year probe has not revealed “any diversion of nuclear material to nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices.”
Still, it declared that — because of lack of sufficient cooperation from the Iranian side — the IAEA remained unable “to conclude that there are no undeclared nuclear materials or activities in Iran.”
The finding was essentially an admission that the agency cannot establish whether Iran is hiding aspects of its nuclear program that it is obligated to report to the IAEA, the U.N. atomic watchdog, under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.Patience is wearing thin in Washington and Tel Aviv.
And The Winds of War are whipping around the duplicitous Iran.
More details and concerns in the “LEAKED” report:
• “Iran again declined to provide” a copy of a document located earlier by IAEA inspectors showing how to cast fissile uranium into the shape to fit a warhead.
• There were “inconsistencies” in tests of plutonium isotopes provided to the agency to help it look into plutonium separation experiments in the mid-1990s, suggesting that not all plutonium had been accounted for.
• Iran dismissed information based on U.S. intelligence documenting links between the so-called “Green Salt Project” — a precursor of uranium enrichment — with nuclear-related high explosives and warhead design as “based on false and fabricated documents.”
“It is regrettable and a matter of concern that the … uncertainties related to the scope of nature of Iran’s nuclear program have not been clarified after three years of intensive agency verification,” said the report.
“Without full transparency … the agency’s ability to reconstruct the history of Iran’s past program and verify the correctness and completeness of statements made by Iran … will be limited and questions about the past and current direction of Iran’s nuclear program will continue to be raised.”
Iran WILL continue upon the road of increasing uranium enrichment regardless of the United Nations and the IAEA.
What will be the POINT OF NO RETURN for the United States and Israel?
Stay tuned…….

Iran Nuclear Watch: Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad – United States and Russia Should Give up Their Nuclear Weapons
Welcome Hugh Hewitt Readers!Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad listens to questions by journalists during a press conference at Bayan Palace, Bayan, Kuwait City on Monday, Feb. 27, 2006. Ahmadinejad arrived Monday for a brief visit to this small oil-rich ally of Washington, the same day Egypt’s president was scheduled to visit.
ASSociated Press: Iran Leader: U.S. Should Give Up Nukes
Iran’s president said Monday that his country supports calls for making the Middle East a nuclear arms-free zone, but he also urged the United States and Russia to give up all their atomic weapons as a threat to the region’s stability.
“We believe that these weapons, possessed by the superpowers and the occupiers in our area, are a threat to stability,” Ahmadinejad said.
Yeah, right…..so other countries can be blackmailed by this NUTTER?
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad did not mention an agreement in principle reached Sunday by Iran and Russia to move Iran’s uranium enrichment work to Russian soil, which would allow closer international monitoring of Tehran’s suspect nuclear program.
Of course, he didn’t mention it — because he does NOT care. The Russian negotiations are a sham in order for Iran to curry favor with the international community of nations. Iran has NO plans to have Russia do its enrichment.
Stay tuned……

Arnold Schwarzenegger Watch: The Reiner Anchor Around Schwarzenegger’s Neck
Hugh Hewitt has The Reiner Anchor Around Arnold’s Neck
HH has another edition in the Rob Reiner rip-off of California taxpayer money. It is obvious that California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will NOT FIRE Reiner from First 5 California Children and Families Commission.
And Reiner is OUT due to term limits in 2007 in any event……..
Isn’t the real issue the failure of Schwarzenegger to lead? or even REACT?
