Go here — the embedded shite is fucking up shit for some reason.

Ayman Al-Zawahiri shows the takfiri roots which enable him to justify the murder of anyone, including innocent Muslims, who get in the way of Al Qaeda’s objectives:

Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb has been given a green light from the second man in Al-Qaeda Organization Ayman Al-Zawahiri in terms of pursuing suicide attacks method against civilian and security targets.
Al-Zawahiri said civilians being killed in suicide attacks in Algeria are human shields.

It’s a point worth re-iterating over and over again. Al Qaeda murder more Muslims than any other faith group, and they oppose many of the institutions that liberals hold in such high esteem. They have no political programme of worth, other than the blood they are prepared to spill on the way to their utopia.

A message from a Facebook friend’s application reaches me:

A friend believes in World Peace. See what type of World Peace message you’ve received and join with your friends on Facebook to send a message that World Peace is attainable!

Phew, that’s alright then. It’s only a matter of time before the membership of Facebook get that well-deserved Nobel prize.

I know all of you have spent a sleepless past couple of weeks racking your brains trying to figure out why exactly the Furedi cultists have been so worked up about criticisms of China.  Wonder no more.  The so-called Institute of Ideas is hosting a one-day conference titled “The Battle For China” as a part of the China Now festival.  China Now, according to its own website, “was conceived by the business community” and intends to “strengthen business relations and partnerships between the UK and China.”  Though the conference’s programme is forthcoming, there are no points awarded for guessing the general thrust of it.  These people truly are scum.

*You’re a clever enough bunch to figure out how to Google links–I’m not giving these fuckers the traffic.

These Videos were removed as a result of this notice:

‘The Hauenstein Center at Grand Valley State University has proprietary rights to the Hitchens v. Hitchens video.’

However, I was also informed that the Hitchens v. Hitchens video will be posted at the Hauenstein Center’s YouTube account next week:

That recent Hitchens V Hitchens debate now on Utube…I think it is the complete deal but haven’t had a chance to check it all out myself yet… if you want to watch it all in a single embedded version get yersell over to my place where it is posted as one chunk (doesn’t work here for some reason).

Today is Grand National day. The National is a spectacle for the entertainment of toffs–with the side benefit of fleecing the proles–which has an added frisson of expectation, which comes with the prospect that one or more of the ‘participants’ will ‘end their career’ during or after the race. During the 1999-2000 racing season, it is claimed that:

247 horses were raced to death; that’s one horse out of every 31 who took part in National Hunt rules events. The victims either died or were killed following injury or were destroyed because they were not thought to be worth further investment because of their poor performance. Of those who died, 58 horses died off-track as a result of injuries they sustained during the race itself, and 98 horses died prematurely during the season as a result of unknown causes. Ten horses collapsed and died on the course, including five who died during the race itself, and 39 were said to have “pulled up lame” or finished the race lame.

<cliche=”alert”>Still, at the end of the day, full credit to them, if you are going to make an omelette you have to break a few eggs–or legs.</cliche> It could be worse–the ‘participants’ could be pigs.

How to account for “poor Canada’s plight”? How to explain the New Democratic Party’s ambiguations about Durban II? The Liberal Party’s poor showing? Our dead soldiers in Afghanistan? Zionist poison, according to the report from Al Ahram.

It comes out of the latest Canada-UK “anti-war” note-swapping with Islamist reactionaries in Cairo.
