This HAS to be a spoof site…

Global War

About: We are a jihadist news service, and provide battle bispatches, training manuals, and jihad videos to our brothers worldwide. All we want is to get Allah’s pleasure. We will write "Jihad" across our foreheads, and the stars. The angels will carry our message throughout the world.

Or maybe not.  Dr. Mike Adams has a good, well-informed belief it's not.

Update of Hope: Atlas Shrugs notes this.  So I safely presume the federal gov't law enforcement appratus will be shortly - Atlas Shrugs is a site by a Jew for the anti-Jihad wings of the world.

Teaching The Pre Schoolers Socialism

L'Eggo My Lego

Some Seattle school children are being told to be skeptical of private property rights. This lesson is being taught by banning Legos.

A ban was initiated at the Hilltop Children's Center in Seattle. According to an article in the winter 2006-07 issue of "Rethinking Schools" magazine, the teachers at the private school wanted their students to learn that private property ownership is evil.

According to the article, the students had been building an elaborate "Legotown," but it was accidentally demolished. The teachers decided its destruction was an opportunity to explore "the inequities of private ownership." According to the teachers, "Our intention was to promote a contrasting set of values: collectivity, collaboration, resource-sharing, and full democratic participation."

The children were allegedly incorporating into Legotown "their assumptions about ownership and the social power it conveys." These assumptions "mirrored those of a class-based, capitalist society — a society that we teachers believe to be unjust and oppressive."

Why You Need Orbusmax

Orbusmax found for us whom promote liberty that according to a NWCN/KING 5 report one of the first performance audits in the State of Washington has found up to $2 million in potential savings.  An easy target, but that $2 million can pay a good chunk of the "study" bill for new prisons. 

Performance audits are also a favorite cause of the Evergreen Freedom Foundation.

Emergency Clause Limits About to Die Off

HJR 4218, the 60% legislative vote for emergency clauses, got a courtesy hearing yesterday and will almost certainly die tonight at midnight. Yet, as the Evergreen Freedom Foundation submitted testimony for the House Joint Resolution - in part, “Article I, Section 1 of the Washington constitution says that “all power is inherent in the people, and governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed….” The right of initiative and referendum are a part of this power that the people reserved to themselves, so any attempt by the legislature to deny this power should be severely limited. ” I also believe the time is ripe to say that the Washington Education Association was able to stop an emergency clause on charter school legislation and brought the bill as Referendum 51 to the 2004 electorate where the legislation died. Maybe, just maybe, they should get on board and save HJR 4218…

Dick Cheney, unhinged nutroots and a surprising response on the left: Censorship

Published by LSU under War on Terror

So there he was, Dick Cheney, the Vice President, in a surprise visit to Afghanistan.  Suddenly there was a bombing attack at the base he was at:

 A suicide bomber struck at the main entrance to Bagram air base in Afghanistan today, as Vice President Dick Cheney was visiting.

Immediately after the attack, a red alert traveled throughout the base — a red alert that we heard saying that the base was under direct attack.

At least nine people were killed, officials tell ABC News. Associated Press reporters at the scene said that they had seen the bodies of at least 12 people, and that they had been carried in black body bags and wooden coffins from near the base into a market area where hundreds of Afghans had gathered to mourn.

A Taliban spokesperson has claimed responsibility, saying the intended target was in fact Cheney. The bomber never got near Cheney.
