What killed Michael Jackson?

That's not only the burning question of the day, but it's likely to be the question of the week, month, year and probably the decade.

I saw a headline that said show business did it, but that was likely just a contributing factor. There was something that killed him, and if you want to know what that something was, well, the answer is probably right here, and it's probably going to piss off a lot of people. Somehow, the truth always seems to manage to do just that.

But really, if you have even a lick of common sense left, you'll understand, and if not, I guess you'll just get pissed off.

I'll tell you this, my doctor is a Jew, an Ashkenazi Jew. As am I.

Call me crazy, but I certainly would not choose to have a doctor who was likely admitted to medical school solely on the basis of skin color with test scores that would have resulted in automatic rejection if said skin color happened to have been white.

And before you want to call me a racist and tell me that Conrad was well edjumacated at the Meharry Medical College, please note that Meharry is a private, historically black college dedicated to educatiing black people. And please, first remember who prescribed and then administered the poisonous cocktail that stopped Michael Jackson's heart, and then, listen to the 911 call.

You'll hear a man telling the 911 operator that Jackson is unconscious on the bed, and that someone is doing chest compressions on him. The first thing the operator tells him is to move Jackson off the bed, since a hard surface is required for proper chest compression. The 911 operator is then told that the someone doing the CPR is none other then the brilliant cardiologist who had no idea that all he was doing to Jackson was pushing him into the bed springs. That's the first thing they teach you in CPR, a firm surface is required. You would expect a cardiologist to know that, but who knows, maybe they don't teach that part at Meharry.

No wonder the good doctor "beat it" after Jackson died.

Because nothing says Freedom

like barbecue and firecrackers:

and why not, what else would you expect, after all, while his Fourth of July honored guests slaughtered their people in the streets, the best thing 0bama could think of to do was to eat an ice cream.

How wonderful of 0bama to give the dictators a day off from killing those protestors, I'm sure they must be exhausted, busting heads and surpressing dissent certainly looks like hard work. I'm sure the hot dogs will be appreciated too, I bet they don't get that every day! I guess beer is just plain impossible but maybe they could have ice cream too! Such a kindness will surely be remembered and it's bound to help the peace process between our countries, dontcha think?

That 0bama is amazing, I mean, really! Bush never would have done such a thing. Never!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've gotta go throw up.

June 21, 2009

Is it over yet?

The shock and horror of what is happening in Iran has begun to sink in and the reality of the situation has begun to assert itself to me. I sit here and watch these kids and I wonder, what the hell are they doing? They must be out of their minds.

Surely they must realize that no matter what they do, in the end, there truly can be no change in Iran because in the end, no matter who the front guy is, it is the ayatollah who is in charge and whoever "won" would simply carry out the orders and mouth the words. These poor people storm the streets in protest that they did not get to choose the man who carries out their torture, who brings the messages from their dictator. It will make no difference in their lives who that man is, if it's Ahmadinejad or Mousavi or Mickey Mouse, they're still going to be under the same oppression, their lives will still be miserable, they will still suffer as much tomorrow as they did last week or last month or last year.

Do these people really believe that Ahmadinejad is in control or that if Mousavi won, he would be in control? That's ridiculous. And sadly, if it were true, the notion that their lives would be better under Mousavi would still be ridiculous.

After the initial burst of horror and sympathy for the Iranian youth who are being slaughtered like animals by order of the ayatollah, I took the time to look into the man they were so determined to have as their president, this so-called reformer, Mir Hossein Mousavi. I wanted to see just what it is that they thought they were fighting for, what they hoped to accomplish by electing this man, what change they hoped to bring about.

As I looked, it became clear, no matter which man won the election, be it Ahmadinejad or Mousavi, if you look at the man himself and his beliefs, there would be no change in foreign policy in Iran, for Mousavi is no different than Ahmadinejad in his beliefs, he is as hard and as radical as Ahmadinejad, as hate filled and murderous as Ahmadinejad. That's why he was allowed to run in the first place.

I watch these kids wave their green wrist bands and hold up their green fingers and I can't help but remember that green is the color of Hezbollah and Hamas, and I know that the man they support and want me to support is responsible for the formation of Hezbollah, and Mousavi took that color as his own for a reason. The Iranian youth had no quarrel with Hamas or Hezbollah or with Iran's support of these terrorists, as long they were only killing Jews. Now, of course, Hezbollah and Hamas are standing with the Iranian government as they must, because Iran has supported Hamas and Hezbollah for so long that a great debt is owed and the allegiance must be honored.

And, it is likely that Hamas and Hezbollah know that in the end, these riots will mean nothing. The ayatollah has made his decision on the Iranian presidency and his decision will stand. Eventually, the protestors will realize they cannot win and they will back down, return to their little hovels, lick their wounds and bury their dead. And, they will support Hamas and Hezbollah once again.

So, the word is that the Iranian youth love all things American. Okay, fine. They like t-shirts and baseball hats and iPods. They like rap music and blue jeans. But liking America and Americans is another story, and anyway, they like Sharia Law most of all and all of the oppression and horror that comes with it. That's what they really like, that's what they really want, and that's what Mousavi has promised them, more Sharia law.

From Mousavi's website:

"We are not against the Islamic system and its laws but against lies and deviations and just want to reform it"

Mousavi is another Islamist dictator, who thinks the current islamist dictator is lying and deviating from true islamist law. That's the change Mousavi promised to bring to Iran, and that's what the Iranian youth is fighting, and dying, in the streets for, the freedom to be oppressed by Sharia law.

The man they support is even more radical and crazy then the one they reject.

It seems to me that what they are really saying to us here in America is, "please, pull us from this fire over here and toss us into that fire over there!"

Well, that's their right, to have their vote counted, and to have the government they voted for. And they can certainly fight to the death to have it.

I can't help but feel terribly sorry for each and every one of them.

CONFIRMED:

The Student Protest March in Azadi Square is being fired upon. Deaths have been reported, first by the youth themselves, and now, by the Associated Press.

Photographs.

Word is that 119 members of Tehran University faculty have resigned in protest of the attack on Tehran University last night. Among them is Dr Jabbedar-Maralani, who is known as the father of Iranian electronic engineering. They have asked for the resignation of Farhad Rahbari the appointed president of Tehran University, for his incompetence in defending the University's dignity and student lives.

The Dictator 0bama is so willing to talk to

is busy killing his people even as I write these words. The chatter coming out of Tehran is horrifying:

The video:


The crowd is chanting "I will fight, I will die, I will take back my vote." What comes next?

and now:

That's less than 12 hours from now.

Please pray for these poor people who just want to be free of the tyrant that has stolen their freedom. They'll get no help from 0bama, who will only offer them pretty words, the same pretty words he offers us, while he sucks up to the same bastard who has denied them even basic human rights and civil liberties and who is now making a mockery of the election process, and killing them dead in the streets when they object to being railroaded by a dictator.

I bet you think such things could never happen here.

UPDATE: JUNE 15, 2009 7:36 AM EST

it's 4:00 pm now in Iran, six minutes past as I write this. Latest chatter says the protest march will go on, that former Iranian President khatami is with the students, and that Mousavi will appear as well. The Iranian "government" has denied "permission" to hold the march.

The Universities have been stormed, tear gas, pepper spray. known activists picked up and jailed. cell towers are down. Internet is sporadic and slow, difficult to load anything. most of the video coming out is one or two minutes. Anything longer crashes before it will load. Reports are that the nutjob has appeared on TV claiming that he is decendent from the prophet himself now but no one has loaded video of it yet. I've seen quite a few reports of that already, and that my friends, is the scariest thing yet.

The Iranian youth are marching in protest, and the government is shooting them in the streets. He will keep killing them, until they shut up.

Of course, don't expect 0bama to do anything, or the rest of the international world either. Oh no. They're much too busy trying to keep those damn Jews in Judea and Samaria from having babies to pay much attention to the peaceful democratic election process in Iran.

Speaking truth to power

as only the Sultan Knish can...

A year ago I was homeless, a little violent, a little crazy. I was living on the street and stabbing people in the face over crystal meth deals. And then I got paid 20 dollars to vote six times for Barack Obama, under six different names, and I was born again into six different men, one of whom was actually a woman, two of whom were dead, and one of whom was Donald Duck. Amen. Praise be Barack.

Today the glory of Barack Obama fills every corner of my life and it can fill yours too. People ask me all the time, "Jim, How can I be touched by the grace of Obama?" The answer is simple. All you have to do is believe. And pay up. Because Barack Obama needs your money. He can't do anything without your money.

Why should I give Barack Obama my money, you might be asking yourself?

I know you want the answer to that question, if fact, I know you can't wait to hear it. That's why you're gonna click right here to get it.

Code Name: Opera

In the late 1970s, Iraq purchased an "Osiris class" nuclear reactor from France. Israeli military intelligence assumed this was for the purpose of plutonium production to further an Iraqi nuclear weapons program. Israeli intelligence also believed that the summer of 1981 would be the last chance to destroy the reactor without exposing the Iraqi civilian population to nuclear fallout. After that point, the reactor would be loaded with nuclear fuel.

Israel had learned that Iraq was about to receive a shipment of enriched uranium for its reactor near Baghdad -- enough to build four or five Hiroshima-size bombs, the reactor was 600 miles from Israel.

On June 7, 1981, a squadron of Israeli F-16A fighter aircraft, with an escort of F-15As, bombed and heavily damaged the Osirak reactor.

Then Prime Minister Menachem Begin ordered the attack to occur before the uranium arrived and the reactor went "hot," at which point bombing would have scattered radioactive waste over Baghdad.

Eight Israeli F-16’s took off in the late afternoon from an Israeli air base in the Sinai. Behind them six Israeli F-15’s took off, as well, to provide cover for a very special and important mission. Flying low and in a tight formation, the fighter jets passed through Jordanian and Saudi Arabian airspace undetected.

Finally, the jets enter Iraqi airspace. At 5:35 in the evening, about an hour and a half after the jets took off, they reach their target. Two minutes later Operation Opera comes to a successful conclusion. The Iraqi nuclear reactor, Osirak, has been totally destroyed.

From Lieutenant-Colonel's Ze'ev Raz - (squadron's leader and leader of the attack) briefing :

The route: "We are about to fly a course over Eilat and Aquaba, and then south of Jordan along Saudi-Arabia's border. This route is planned to avoid Arab villages and cities where we might be discovered, so we will fly over desert area until Baghdad. This is not the shortest path to fly, but it would avoid radar detection, so we will remain undetected just until we get over target. On the way to the target we will fly at an altitude of 150 ft. On our way back we will fly at high altitude. We are short on fuel ! Those who get engaged in dogfights won't make it back !"

The bombing technique: "About 20 km east to the reactor we will ignite the afterburner to full power and start a climb. At the peak we will roll over, identify the target and dive at the speed of 600 knots at 35 degrees. Release the bombs at an altitude of 3,500 feet, aiming at the base of the structure, and release flares to avoid hits by ground fire. All pilots will drop their bombs in intervals of 5 seconds - You will drop 16 bombs in total, but a hit of 8 bombs could do the job !"

The weapons : "You will be armed with two 1,000 kg "iron" bombs, equipped with delay fuses, to ensure explosion deep in the reactors core to maximize the damage."

Target defense : "The reactor has its own air defense system, combined of AAA guns and missiles. Target is surrounded by high earth ramparts."

Code-named Opera, the raid was a spectacular success.

While this operation was initially almost universally condemned by the world community, in retrospect this Israeli operation is highly praised by many.

Opera was not Israel's first preemptive act against Iraq's attempts to acquire nuclear weapons. In April 1979 unidentified saboteurs blew up reactor parts at a French port, parts awaiting shipment to Iraq. In August 1980 an Egyptian-born nuclear physicist important to Iraq's nuclear program was killed in Paris.

News of the audacious raid did not actually emerge until 24 hours later when Israel made its announcement. Only then did Iraq admit it had happened and express indignation.

One of the pilots involved was Colonel Ilan Ramon who trained as Israel's first astronaut but was killed in the Columbia shuttle disaster in 2003. He flew in Number 4 of the first formation and described the flight:

"We fly deep within Iraq, It is all desert around us while we pass another marking point on our route. I try to concentrate on flying my F-16, but from time to time I think about the target we are about to attack, and the responsibility we've got. It's the first time in my life that I really feel responsible for the destiny of a whole nation. The view changes - a blue river in the middle of the desert. We have been here 2500 years ago... I see buildings and a deserted airfield. Somebody calls over the radio : "Watch out for AAA fire !" and the sky gets filled with flashes of exploding rounds. I light the afterburner and pull up. Just in front of my eyes I see the earth ramparts and behind it - you can't miss - the silver dome of the reactor...

"Eshkol 8" sounds the radio, "Everybody Charlie!" - Charlie was the code name meaning all pilots have dropped their bombs.

It was amazing - I managed to see how the bombs of the pilots in front of me hit the target and the dome collapsed into the structure ! The hits were excellent, and now we fly at high altitude back to our base. I hope they didn't start a chase, to run us out of fuel...

We cross the Arava and we are back in Israel. The IAF commander calls on the radio, and says: "All you have to do now is land"...

Lest we forget, against all odds, on her own and on her own initiative, with complete secrecy and complete success, Israel removed a grave threat to her existence. And in doing so, Israel also removed a threat that endangered the entire free world.

Look for the Union Label

because a hard hat might be a good idea...

Just six months after a $500 million renovation, The Fontainebleau was left with an eight-foot hole in its lobby ceiling and ankle-deep water in its night club.

''It was literally like a waterfall, coming in from the ceiling,'' said Amy Kates of Rochester, N.Y., who is staying at the Fontainebleau while her husband attends an orthopedic conference there.

Kates said the hotel staff had blocked off the area under the ceiling leak, and were pushing the water off the lobby's bow-tie tile floor and out the front door.

"Then the ceiling caved in.''

Now... what if that ceiling had collapsed just a few months earlier, say... in March?

Oh well.

Obamessiah

No more beating around the bush, now they just plain say it:

That's Newsweek editor Evan Thomas, first calling President Reagan "parochial, chauvinist and provincial," and then declaring on MSNBC: "I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God."

I saw that at Ace of Spades and all I could think was, stop the damm planet, I wanna get off.

WTF is happening to this country?

UPDATE:

Good Lord. Even John Stewart is choking on it. Wait for the last line...

Just words?

In his Cairo speech, immediately after talking about the Holocaust, Obama said that "on the other hand, it is also undeniable that the Palestinian people - Muslims and Christians - have suffered in pursuit of a homeland."

"Obama shockingly equated the destruction of European Jewry to the suffering Arabs brought upon themselves when they declared war on the nascent state of Israel," National Union MK Arye Eldad said. "If he doesn't understand the difference, perhaps he will when he visits the Buchenwald concentration camp [on Friday]. And if he still won't get it then, the Muslims will teach him a painful lesson that his predecessor learned on September 11."

Diaspora Affairs and Public Relations Minister Yuli Edelstein (Likud) blamed Obama's comparison between the Holocaust and the Palestinians' plight on previous Israeli governments for accepting the Palestinian narrative. He singled out Kadima leader Tzipi Livni, who he said emphasized Palestinian interests over Israel's as foreign minister.

Eldad's National Union colleague, MK Michael Ben-Ari, compared Obama to Pharoah and said that just as the Jewish people overcame one, the Jewish state would overcome the other.

Likud MK Danny Dannon wrote a letter to members of Congress criticizing Obama for his "new and disturbing trend of intensifying pressure on Israel," and asking them to join him in highlighting the dangers of Obama's policies.

While Netanyahu asked his ministers not to attack Obama after the speech, some refused to remain silent.

"Obama ignored the fact that the Palestinians have not abandoned terror," Habayit Hayehudi chairman Daniel Herschkowitz said during a tour of settlements south of Hebron. "The government of Israel is not America's lackey. The relations with the Americans are based on friendship and not submission, and therefore Israel must tell Obama that stopping natural growth in the settlements is a red line."

and... The citizens committees of Judea and Samaria refused to remain silent as well:

"... Hussein Obama chose to adopt the lying versions of the Arabs, which were always stated persistently and brazenly, over the Jewish truth, which is stated in a weak and stuttering voice," the settlers said in a statement.

It was time for Netanyahu to join the ranks of Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir, "arise as a proud Jewish leader and declare that he rejects with repugnance the rewritten history that Obama attempted to dictate today," they said.

G-d help us. There can be no doubt as to the intentions of this president.

Remember folks

There is no terrorist threat.

Gun and Ammo Found on US Airways Plane at PHL Airport

Two people, including a US Airways employee, were being questioned on Thursday morning after authorities at Philadelphia International Airport found a handgun and ammunition on a flight bound for Arizona. Charges were expected to be filed.

According to preliminary information from investigators, someone waiting for a flight saw another passenger hand a bag to a US Airways employee who may have been authorized to bypass the security screening line. The airline employee then handed the bag back to the second passenger, and the witness reported the incident to the TSA.

The 7:15am flight, which was already taxiing out for departure, was called back and searched.

The bag was located on the plane and found to contain an unloaded 9mm handgun and ammunition. The gun and the bag were confiscated, and the passenger and the US Airways employee were taken into custody for questioning.

The rest of the plane was searched as a precaution.

The FBI, Philadelphia police, and the TSA were continuing to investigate.

Pennsylvania huh? Probably Amish, you know how extremist they can be.

Uh, that would be in "honor" of the infamous fist bump that Mr. and Mrs. Obamessiah did on the campaign trail on June 3, 2008.

Sigh. This post is made purely for informational purposes only. I ain't saying nothing about it, because anything I might say would only get me in trouble. Big trouble.
