TSA – Security Theater

Monday, November 15th, 2010

This has to be one of the best articles I’ve read on the subject of the total ineffectiveness of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at airport security.  Whether you want to believe it or not, they haven’t helped security one bit.  However, they’ve certainly made a once proud nation of jet-setters into an efficient police state.

Read “The Things He Carried” from The Atlantic magazine.

Addendum: Just for those that scoff, security can be done right at the airport, without the need for a police state mentality.

Addendum2: This story has to be one of the worst.  How long are we going to put up with these Nazi tactics?

Addendum3: Read these accounts filed with the ACLU.  The TSA has become a government sponsored rape squad!

The Barbaric Nightmare of Sharia Law

Monday, May 24th, 2010

We are posting the following video so that every American who continues to believe that Sharia law is not a threat to the West, and that the adherents to fundamentalist Islam are peaceful. The following video evidence will illustrate otherwise.

This simple description does not do the video justice. The scene shown, where three supposed spies are savagely butchered by the Taliban in Pakistan in early April of this year, show the utter, despicable horror which is Islamic Sharia law in practice. The brutality is nearly immeasurable and almost impossible to watch.  Like the video of the vile murder of Danial Pearl, it will stay with you forever.  It is the stuff of nightmares!

I view all religion as dangerous to rational, humane thought, but fundamentalist Islamic tradition rivals the Inquisition and witch hunts of the mediaeval Christian church in its poisonous attack against decency itself.  The major difference is not in the brutality it conjures, for all middle eastern  religions have their fair share of horrid behavior in the past. The difference is that fundamentalist Islamic Sharia law is alive and well in the otherwise enlightened 21st century and there are many who push the Islamic goal of world conquest under its barbaric rule!

Not as a Westerner, nor as a citizen of the United States, but as a human who believes in true justice, liberty and peaceful coexistence as the ultimate goal of the human species; this cannot be allowed to continue, or to grow.   We have to stop avoiding the issue and see it for what it is.

There is a concerted effort on the part of the European Union and to a lesser extent in the United States, to side-step facing the issue.  Islamic groups in Europe, especially Britain and Denmark, have been making great strides in receiving special status in the law.  Britain, in a move of inexplicable insanity, has already embraced official Sharia courts,  and there are some areas in Europe which are quite literally becoming Islamic sub-states, where the local authorities do not tread. The United Nations even had such gall as to allow Islamic nations to attempt to pressure for a world law against blasphemy!

It would seem there are those in western governments who are willing to concede parts of their law and custom, in order to appease the Islamic curate, as if such action will remove or lesson the chance of terrorist activity or other civic violence.

Such thinking is stupid.  It allows fear to rule over us.

The West practiced the same kind of horrific violence and torture through its embrace of Christianity and there is no excuse for it.  Similarly, there is no excuse not to recognize the dangers of a religion which has not transcended these blatantly evil practices.  We have been there and we should know better.

We can no more allow the vile workings of Sharia law to pollute the cultural progress of the enlightenment, than we can allow the Catholic Church to reinstate the witch hunts and the Inquisition.

There is no place in a free world for Sharia law. It is the modern epitome of religious evil and cannot be allowed to gain any further footing in the world. In fact, if the goal of the human race is to achieve true peace and liberty, Sharia law must be completely eliminated from the face of the planet.

To handle Sharia law with kid gloves, only enables its foul grip on the world to grow.

The Killing President

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

Glenn Greenwald has a very disturbing article in Salon Online magazine, outlining the President’s claimed authority to kill any American citizen he deems to be a threat to America.

As I’ve said before, welcome to the USSA, comrades.

Tactless Sinister Assholes (TSA)

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

If you’ve done any reading on the bullying, abusive, malignant insanity foisted by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), (also known as Tactless Sinister Assholes) upon hapless air passengers, then you probably have a very clear picture of just how useless this entire organization is. They represent, not real security, but a theater act. People are pulled out of line for no reason which makes any sense. Clearly stupid regulations are put into place as to what cannot be carried on a plane. Clearly stupid behavior is exhibited by the TSA slime who man the security lines. People’s right to privacy and security are being infringed by these government goons in strip searches and pat downs. Property which could not be used to down a plane or take it over, is confiscated. Last, but not least, policing power is being abused at levels which reminds one of the Gestapo of the Third Reich, where charges are pretty much invented against individuals who have done absolutely nothing wrong.

Most of the TSA morons are not qualified enough to push a broom, but give them a tin badge and they’ll take their minimal IQ and devote it to causing misery for air travelers. I long ago stopped flying, because I don’t like being treated like a criminal in my own country.

Don’t believe me? Pick your favorite Web search engine and search for "TSA sucks". Read the links and the comments on those pages which have them. The stories are profuse.

I’ve read quite a few accounts which makes my blood boil, but this one has to be one of the worst. The TSA insanity is plainly showing.
