Chavez Recall: 1 Dead, 13 Wounded

Please, please, please be on your way out Mr. Chavez. I know a family from Venezuela. In their opinion the Chavistas are nothing more than Chauvanistas. Bullies who use paramilitary tactics to force their will on the rest of the country. If Chavez survives the recall effort, it will be largely because of his army of Brownshirts in the slums.

Kerry/O'Neill Debate on C-Span

C-Span ran a 1971 episode of The Dick Cavett Show earlier this evening. The show featured a young John O'Neill, looking like a clean-cut young man fresh out of the military, debating a young John Kerry, looking just a little too rich to pull off the long hair. C-Span ran the show several months ago and I caught most of it. Tonight, I only caught about five minutes. What struck me most about the show, this evening, was not so much John Kerry's smug patrician tone as he spoke to the obviously much less-educated John O'Neill, but rather Kerry's pronunciation. I'm not sure exactly how to describe what he sounded like. But think Hanoi Jane meets Thurston Howell III. Yeah, something like that.

If the Bush campaign could use that footage in an advertisement......well, think landslide. Kerry does not come off as anything but an arrogant prick. That would be before the "W" campaign ran any of the slander and anti-war BS. Include that, and Kerry might just carry MA and NY. Maybe.

PS-Look at pic in extended entry....now imagine the voice I described....that is John Kerry.

Swiftboat Meme Intercepted from Politburo

Most of you know I am guest blogging over at the Politburo Diktat while the Commissar is off to the gulag. Checking the Commissar's daily e-mail, I came across the following meme. Proceed at your own caution. Posession of this meme is said to carry an instant death sentence.

RE: New Kerry Campaign Photo.

Comrades,

Fraternal Socialist Greetings! It has come to MiniTru's attention that counter-revolutionary elements have been distributing unapproved memes on the life and times of a high placed sleeper agent (codename: Manchurian Candidate). While MiniTru's crack legal team is doing all it can to stop this reactionary propaganda and other lies about Manchurian Candidate's efforts to further worldwide peace, we believe more can be done on this front.

Therefore, with the assistance of tavarisch emigre, Mini Tru has produced the following meme. It should be distributed immediately:

PS-The following is an example of Trotskyite propaganda. All copies are to be destroyed immediately.


(via reactionaries at Iowa Pres Watch)

Please include appropriate support in weekly editorials discrediting reactionary Swift Boat Veterans. These veterans are Party approved, are more representative of veterans in general, and may be used for guest editorials.

Your fraternal socialist brother,
Atrios, MiniTru Undersecretary for Propaganda

XXX Destroy all copies of this meme after receipt XXX

Clenched fist salute: emigre. He designed the meme. In spite of his tireless efforts at producing Party approved photo, he is right-wing reactionary. Do not inspekt his site! more...

Typhoon Rananim vs. Hurricane Charlie

Typhoon Rananim: 115 killed; 16 missing; 1,800 injuries; 40,000 buildings down
Hurricane Charlie: 'significant' loss of life=one mobile home park destroyed: $15 billion in property damage.

The difference? Wealth via capitalism.

Hostage List

Via Slant Point I found this Guardian Article attempting to list hostages held or killed in Iraq, something I have been trying to do for awhile. Unfortunately for them, the list of hostages killed is incomplete. For a complete list, see my post on the subject. If I am missing any names, please e-mail me or drop a comment.

War On! Sadr Peace Negotiations Fail, Baffles State Dept.

Fool me once: shame on you. Fool me twice: shame on me. Fool me forty-seven times: business as usual at the State Department.

What numbnut bureaucrat thought holding peace negotiations with Moqtada al Sadr was a good idea? Reuteres:

Talks to end the conflict in Najaf between U.S. and Iraqi forces and radical Shi'ite militiamen have collapsed, Iraq's national security adviser Mowaffaq al-Rubaie said Saturday.
"The talks have failed. All efforts to end this have not succeeded," he told reporters.

Militants loyal to radical Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr have been battling U.S. and Iraqi forces in the sacred city of Najaf for 10 days in fighting that has killed hundreds and sent thousands of protesters to the streets.

A truce has held since Friday but tensions remain high.

If that weren't bad enough, Sadr used the time to reinforce. Who could have seen that coming? Xinhuanet:
Thousands of Sadr supporters flock to Najaf....

Iraq's Olympic Chief Survives Assasination Attempt

Hmmm. It must be those evil Americans again just shooting at civillians for the heck of it. Or maybe another Zionist plot?

ESPN:

Iraq's Olympics chief said he survived an assassination attempt when attackers threw grenades and fired automatic weapons at his car in Baghdad after a roadside bomb failed to kill him.

al Qaeda Op Spilling the Beans

Vee have our vays of making you talk! Remember, this is the same guy who's mother claimed he had to be innocent because he was so quiet, well mannered, and religious. Because, as we know, terrorsts are usually atheists. And Himmler--very loud chap, or so I hear.

USA Today:

A newly arrested al-Qaeda operative is providing valuable insight into the inner workings of Osama bin Laden's network as the United States remains on alert for attacks, U.S. officials and a diplomat in Africa told The Associated Press.

Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, a Tanzanian wanted in the deadly bombings of U.S. embassies in East Africa, has much to say. His life has tracked al-Qaeda's evolution from a tightly organized network assaulting prominent U.S. targets to a looser group struggling to maintain momentum.

Another Egyptian 'CIA Agent' Beheading Video

UPDATE: For latest news, information, images, and links to video on the hostage situation in Iraq PLEASE GO TO THE MAIN PAGE BY CLICKING HERE than scroll down.

Update 9/20/04: American Hostage Eugene Armstrong Beheading Video here.

Graphic pics posted in extended entry. In the Bullpen has graciously offered to host the video. Go HERE for video.

AP:

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — An Islamic Web site posted still pictures Friday that purportedly show Iraqi militants beheading an Egyptian man they claim was spying for the U.S. military.
The pictures are posted at a web-site connected to terrorist zombie numero uno, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. The pictures strike me as being in the same location as the last Egyptian 'CIA Agent' was murdered. (See previous posts: Beheading Victim Egyptian, Not American, Beheaded man 'not CIA agent', CIA Agent Executed: Another Beheading Video)

The victim and the alleged proof that he was wired.

It's All About the Hidden Hands, Man

I think Noam Chomsky would say something like, "Find out who benefits, and you'll find the motivation."

So, who is behind QandO's Jon Henke? I bet it's GE's War Making Division.

Feel the love

I'm fooling around with my site's look. Trying to add a right sidebar. So if it looks funky, excuse the mess.

In the meantime, check out Allah. Man, I gots to get a copy of photoshop! Kevin also has the goods on NBC's terrorism pranks. Perhaps GE's wholly owned subsidiary has been taking cues from Benjamin Vanderford?

Ossetia: Impending War, Georgia vs. Russia

The fighting between ethnic Russians in Ossetia and Georgia is escalating. This is not good. Up til now, Russia has fought this war through it's proxies in the Ossetian resistance. If Russia refuses to withdraw it's 'peacekeepers', this could escelate from civil war to full fledged international conflict. Further, other regional actors could get drawn into the fight in an effort to exploit the instability.

I have been speculating for some time that the reason Putin suddenly decided to improve relations with the US, by backing our pre-war claims of WMD in Iraq, was that he wanted a free hand in dealing with the Chechen rebels. I now wonder if Ossetia was part of his calculations? It should be noted that Georgian troops are US trained, while Ossetian rebels are backed by Russia.

5 miles, 50 miles....what does it matter?

Kerry now claims he was not in Cambodia, but near it on Christmas. Near being 50 miles away. Pretty close if you're in Texas, but not in Vienam. Sa Dec, where Kerry was stationed, is LITERALLY halfway across the country!! (Source)

Captain Ed has the complete story.

QuandO also spanking the Kerry campaign.

UPDATE: The Instapundit ripped off my idea...but has a better map.
