The Bloody Legacy of Arab Islam in Africa

Posted on by

Here’s an interview with John Alembillah Azuma, author of the most important book Black Americans thinking of converting to Islam will ever read, The Legacy of Arab-Islam in Africa. In the book Azuma proves definitively not only that Arab Muslim enslavement of Blacks is more pernicious than any other slavery in the world (indeed it still goes on today), but that it was in fact viler and more vicious.

Compared to the white washes of Arab racism that most “academics” participate in, Azuma’s book is a breath of fresh air that exposes the ugly truth about Arab Imperialism and its consequences when embedded in a religious community. I’ve blogged about Arab racism toward Blacks leading to murder and genocide, this book is my evidence of that truth.

If you don’t read the book at least watch the interview and learn about the horrors of 1400 years of systematic rape, torture and murder perpetrated on innocent Africans by Arab Imperialists:

Massive TB Outbreak in Alabama Traced back to Illegals?

Posted on by

From WND:

Alabama health officials have identified 212 workers who have tested positive for tuberculosis at a single poultry plant owned by one of the largest processors in the U.S.

In two batteries of skin tests last month, given to 765 fresh processing employees at the Decatur, Ala., plant owned by Wayne Farms LLC by the State Department of Public Health’s Tuberculosis Control Division, 28 percent were found to be infected, including one with active tuberculosis disease, which is contagious. Doctors have yet to evaluate X-rays for 165 current workers who tested positive to determine if any more are contagious.

The testing was prompted by an earlier active TB case – a former Wayne Farms worker.

Both employees with active TB are Hispanics born in countries where the disease is prevalent, heath officials said.

When the disease is latent, those with TB are not contagious, but the TB bacteria remains in the body for life unless it is treated. Once it becomes active it may cause permanent damage to the lungs and other organs and the airborne bacteria is easily spread by coughing, laughing or even talking. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 50 percent of those who have close contact with someone with active TB for 15 minutes will become infected.

Accompanied by the rise in illegal immigration, tuberculosis is making a comeback in the U.S., often eluding diagnosis by doctors who are unfamiliar with the disease.

Last year, WND reported more than three-quarters of the 2,903 cases in California in 2005 were among foreign natives, with a total of 14,093 cases nationwide.

Scott Jones, interim director of the Tuberculosis Control Division told the Decatur Daily he was not surprised at the large number of employees who tested positive.

“The majority of the folks that we’re dealing with in this situation are foreign born,” Jones said. “I would expect about 30 percent of them to test positive.”

Of particular concern to public health officials are emerging strains of drug-resistant TB brought to the U.S. by illegal aliens who bypass the screening regularly done with legal immigrants.

The drug-resistant TB recently killed more than 50 people in South Africa. It has been found in limited numbers in the U.S. – 74 reported cases since 1993. The strain is nearly impossible to cure because it is immune to the best first- and second-line TB drugs. It is as easily transmitted through the air as the old TB.

There is another form of TB concerning U.S. health officials. It is called “multi-drug resistant.” It responds to more treatments but can cost up to $250,000 and take two years to cure. This is the strain increasingly common throughout the world – rising more than 50 percent from about 273,000 in 2000 to 425,000 in 2004, according to a study published in August in the Journal of Infectious Diseases.

In the U.S., 128 people were found to have it in 2004, a 13 percent increase from the previous year.

Read the rest. It’s an odd story because the report implies that illegals coming into the country are (obviously) not getting any sort of health screening from the government, thus the rise in diseases like Tuberculosis. The two men who are thought to have spread it, though “foreign natives” did seem to have social security numbers. But they could have purchased them.

The employer screening didn’t catch these two illegals, if they were illegal. If that’s the case how do we force employers to comply with enforcement if it just doesn’t work?

Degenerate Jihadi Posted Snuff Film Just Days Before NYT Whitewash

Posted on by

The constantly moving Al-Qaeda propaganda blog The Ignored Puzzle Pieces of Knowledge, home to the world’s most famous Jihadist, posted a snuff film just days before the clueless (or traitorous) New York Times reporters Micheal Moss and Souad Mekhennet whitewashed Samir khan’s Internet activities with this patently untrue quote:

“…there is nothing to suggest that Mr. Khan is operating in concert with militant leaders, or breaking any laws”

Velvet Hammer has the proof on her site, which clearly illustrates that Charlotte, North Carolina based Khan had a post where he distributed an Al-Qaeda produced snuff film on October 2nd. Moss and Mekhennet’s article ran on the 15th of October.

Putting aside the fact that these two knowingly tanked months of investigations into Samir Khan’s connection to the Jihad in Somalia what should shock Americans is that the intrepid NYT reporters failed to do some basic research into either Khan’s site, which is replete with Jihad snuff and communiques from Al-Qaeda operatives or the legalities of his postings even without the snuff.

Were it just the reposting of snuff films Khan likes to peruse on line, he’d still be breaking the law. The distribution of snuff films is illegal and by listing all the places people could download files of the beheading of Muslim “apostates” that’s what Kahn is doing. But Khan’s activities should arouse suspicions regardless of his affection for death porn.

Didn’t these “journalists” wonder why Khan is so often one of the first Jihadists to distribute such material? Isn’t it obvious that Khan is nothing more than a mouth piece for the Global Islamic Media Front, Al-Qaeda’s propaganda department?

That being the case, wouldn’t it be considered due diligence to check around and make sure that when you issue a statement such as “…there is nothing to suggest that Mr. Khan is operating in concert with militant leaders, or breaking any laws” that you could prove that it was true?

Falling Dollar May Spark U.S.-Europe Trade War

Posted on by

From the N.Y. Sun:

With the Federal Reserve chairman, Ben Bernanke, planning to maintain low interest rates in an effort to keep the economy out of recession, there is no end in sight for the dollar’s record slide, at least for the remainder of the year.

In congressional testimony before the Joint Economic Committee yesterday, he suggested that growth will be “sluggish” in the first quarter of 2008 and, notwithstanding the risk to inflation, he gave no hint that interest rates will be raised in the short term.

The advantage a cheap dollar provides for American exporters, however, has brought stern warnings from the Chinese, who say they will start to move their reserves out of dollars into harder currencies.

Even President Bush’s new ally, President Sarkozy, bluntly told Congress that the continued weakness of the dollar could prompt a trade war between America and Europe, with the Europeans deliberately reducing the euro’s value to allow European exports to compete with American goods.

Both the European Central Bank, which sets the interest rate for the euro, and the Bank of England governor, who does the same for sterling, yesterday left rates as they were to deter inflation and thereby gave no relief to Mr. Bernanke, who implied that there was little prospect of raising American interest rates in the near future.

As with all things finance related, the “benefits” of a falling dollar can seem a bit arcane to the layman. Basically what it means is that there may be more people in countries with stronger currencies looking to stretch their money by buying our goods on the cheap and we should also see a boom in tourism as Canadians, Europeans and the English will have much more purchasing power than they used to. It is American exporters who will do the best however:

The weak dollar (it has fallen more than 20% on a trade-weighted basis since its peak in 2001) is helping exporters close America’s trade imbalance. America’s current-account deficit fell to 5.5% of GDP in the second quarter, from a peak of 7% at the end of 2005.

If the dollar’s still falling it’s a good time to invest in foreign currency by the way. Europe and much of the world isn’t happy with the decline in the dollar, and what it will possibly presage:

A more sinister warning about the implications of the dollar’s weakness was delivered in person to Congress by Mr. Sarkozy on Wednesday.

“Those who admire the nation that has built the world’s greatest economy and has never ceased trying to persuade the world of the advantages of free trade expect her to be the first to promote fair exchange rates,” he said.

The artificially undervalued Chinese yuan “is already everyone’s problem,” he said. “The dollar cannot remain solely the problem of others. If we’re not careful, monetary disarray could morph into economic war. We would all be its victims.”

Implications of the weakness of the dollar price is likely to be raised by Chancellor Merkel when she visits Mr. Bush at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, this weekend.

Mrs. Merkel is “preoccupied” by turbulence in the financial markets, the German foreign ministry’s coordinator for American relations, Karsten Voigt, told Bloomberg News yesterday. Cooperation between America and Europe on interest rates and currency values “is absolutely necessary,” he said.

The Canadian government also expressed concern about the effect of a weak dollar on world markets, and said the issue would top the agenda of next week’s G20 meetings of finance ministers and central bankers in Cape Town, South Africa.

The devaluation of the dollar is causing Middle East oil exporters, who are paid in dollars, to demand higher prices to compensate for the dollar’s loss of value. The rising price of oil and an expected hike in commodity prices may spark inflation.

It sounds like the Europeans and Canada are worried about what a devalued dollar, (devalued largely by China’s economic warfare and the comintern like propaganda issued by our left leaning MSM) means to world stability as oil becomes to expensive to drive the industrial worlds economies. Should we “cooperate” with other countries to keep the peace even if the cooperation means not doing what’s best for our economy?

And if we don’t are things are things on the world market bad enough for a trade war to escalate?

Star Parker on How White Liberals Work to Make the Poor Even Poorer

Posted on by

From her must read article in WorldNet Daily on the passage of the new Mortgage Reform Act:

The Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act of 2007 has passed out of Chairman Barney Frank’s House Financial Services Committee. It’s now headed to the full House for a vote. In the name of protecting the poor from market predators it will in actuality protect the poor from wealth.

This is yet a new chapter in the grand liberal tradition that advances the illusion that government micromanagement of private lives and markets will make us better off. We already have laws against fraud and theft. But for liberals, government isn’t there to enforce the law. It’s there to run our lives.

The legislation assumes that when private individuals make mistakes, they can’t figure out what they did wrong and make adjustments, and that even if they could they wouldn’t.

We’re going to wind up with new and onerous regulations in the business of making loans to consumers for purchasing homes, and as a result, fewer loans will be made and we’ll all be worse off. Those who will be penalized the most will be the low-income families who the new regulations will supposedly protect.

Should fraud be permitted in our society? No. Should government interfere with private individuals’ latitude to determine on their own what risks they wish to take and the willingness of others to finance those risks? Absolutely not.

Frank’s bill crosses far over the line into regulating private lives and behavior where he and government have no business.

Why will this hurt the very low-income families it purports to protect?

We already have plenty of experience with the costs of so-called consumer protection laws in general and those designed to regulate mortgage lending in particular.

In a recently published article in the Cato Supreme Court Review, professor Marcus Cole of the Stanford University Law School discusses the fallout of lending laws in Illinois.

The Illinois Fairness in Lending Act passed in 2005 gives the state oversight authority on loans made in nine designated ZIP codes in the state. These ZIP codes are, of course, areas in which residents are mostly lower-income households.

The law places authority in a state bureaucracy to review all applications for mortgages in these designated ZIP codes. The bureaucrats who review these applications determine if the borrower needs credit counseling and requires the lender to pay for it if required.

The costs of the counseling are estimated to be as high as $700 and can delay the processing of the loan up to a month.

The borrower has no option to forego this counseling, whose objective is “to protect homebuyers from predatory lending in Cook County’s at-risk communities and reduce the incidence of foreclosures.”

What’s the result?

Cole reports the following: “Instead of protecting hardworking would-be homeowners from predatory lending, the new law protected them from credit. Within just a few months more than 30 mortgage lenders refused to lend on homes purchased in the targeted ZIP codes. Those lenders determined to service these communities saw a rise in their costs, which translated into higher interest rates on their loans.”

The purported cure was worse than the disease. Cole goes on to note, “Home sales in the designated ZIP codes dropped an average of 45 percent in just one month after the bill took effect. Home prices plummeted, draining relatively poor but hardworking people of what little equity they had in their homes.”

The experience is similar in other states where governments have authorized bureaucrats to insert themselves between lenders and borrowers. Yes, the number of defaults have declined. They have declined because the number of loans have declined.

The Wall Street Journal reports that currently, “80 percent of subprime loans are being repaid on time, and another 10 percent are only 30 days behind.”

These are overwhelmingly loans to low-income families. Probably, under Barney Frank’s new regulatory regime, many of these loans would not have been made and the families in these homes would be renting and considerably less wealthy than they are today.

To quote former Texas Rep. Dick Armey, “freedom works” – but it can only work if we let it.

Read the rest. It exposes the Democrat programs for what they are, schemes by rich White people to ensure that “low income” (read Black and hispanic) people stay poor and dependent upon the scraps they’re willing to throw at them in exchange for their votes.

Star Parker wrote about much the same thing in her provocative book Uncle Sam’s Plantation. It’s a book every Black American should read before the 2008 elections.

And though I disagree with her vis a vis Gay rights (I think we adults marrying who they want and thus establishing the heirs to their property they want is the real Republican position) I also recommend her even more provocative book White Ghetto. You won’t agree with some of her points but you’re sure to get you money’s worth of food for thought.
