Lebanon’s “300″

2008-05-13T11:54:00Z

While the West is busy living its daily life, a beast is busy killing the freedom of a small community on the East Mediterranean: Lebanon. Indeed, as of last week, the mighty Hezbollah, armed to the teeth with 30,000 rockets and missiles and aligning thousands of self described “Divine soldiers” has been marching across the capital, terrorizing its population, shutting down media, taking its politicians and the Prime Minister as hostages, and looting at will. The hordes of Lebanon’s “Khomeinist Janjaweeds” have conquered already half of the Middle East’s cultural capital, Beirut. As I have reported before, Hezbollah has occupied West Beirut and has since sent its storm troops in multiple directions to resume the blitz.

Drang nach Osten. In the name of Allah!

2008-05-13T11:44:00Z

Had any one of the European monarchs, grandees or pontifices of the XVth century ever heard of the word “Prussia”? Unlikely. Stuck in the Baltic bogs between Russia and Poland, Prussia, the miserable successor to the Teutonic Order, the obedient vassal of proud Poland (Rech Pospolita), hopelessly vegetated on the boondocks of Europe.

Government Seduces You With False Premises

2008-05-13T11:22:00Z

2008-05-13T10:19:00Z

The world’s largest hot desert (seeing as technically Antarctica is the largest desert, though cold), the Sahara measures in at over 9 million square kilometers, and covers the majority of northern Africa.

FBI’s Bullet-Lead Technique Wrong

2008-05-13T10:05:00Z

“We cannot afford to be misleading to a jury. We plan to discourage prosecutors from using our previous results in future prosecutions.”
--Letter from Dwight E. Adams, then FBI lab director, to FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III

In 1995, former Baltimore police Sgt. James A. Kulbicki was convicted of first-degree murder. The prosecutor convinced the jury that Kulbicki killed his mistress with his off duty .38-caliber revolver. The scientific evidence was irrefutable. The bullets recovered from the victim’s body and from the crime scene had been fired by his gun.

2008-05-13T01:50:00Z

In Lebanon, the Iranian-backed vanguard of terror known as Hezbollah has again drawn its weapons to provoke the worst crisis since it launched a war against Israel in the summer of 2006. The fighting that began last week in Beirut, and then relocated east to the Chouf Mountains and north to Tripoli, is the latest act in the relentless smothering of the Lebanese democratic state.
