Shariah Clock

Well, many of you have heard of the Doomsday clock, which is at 5 minuet to Doomsday FYI, but not many have heard about the Shariah Clock. Think of it as being similar to the Doomsday Clock, but this one monitoring the advances of Shariah Law. When it reaches Midnight, I am leaving the fracking planet, because the entire planet will be under Shariah Law.

Well, right now it does not have an official time, but I would like to suggest that whoever is keeping track of it, we should move it two minuets closer to midnight. All of this due to the increasing craziness that is Pakistan.

International Democratic Union

The IDU was created during the administration of George H. W. Bush and is currently the forum for several political parties around the world. As it is primarily a promotional body for Democracy and Freedom, I have some suggestions of other Political Parties from around the world that should be included, and some which should be booted out of power in their.

Boots
Taiwan's KMT (To be replaced with the Pan Green Coalition (Taiwan Solidarity Union, Taiwan Independence Party, and Democratic Progressive Party))

Additions
Israel (BaAyila, Yesha Council, Kadima, Meimad, Likud)
Ireland (Fine Gael)
Scotland (Scottish Nationalist Party)
Brazil (Democrats, Progressive Party, Brazilian Labour Party, Liberterians)
United States (Libertarian Party, Constitution Party)
Japan (Liberal Democratic Party)

For those of you who have never heard of the International Democtratic Union, they are a group of political parties that advocate democracy around the world, and the use of necessary force, whether economic, political, or military to achieve the goals of a Democratic World.

As such, I feel that once BaAyila is a member, its founder, Natan Sharansky should be voted in as the leader of the Organization.

Now, on the reason why there is no presence by the Democratic Party of the United States. Currently, the Democratic Party seems to be taking a "The Devil We Know..." stance on the dictatorships of the world. While individual members of the Democratic Party are out there calling for the End of dictatorships, the big wigs in the party are more focused on internal power than Human Rights outside their borders.

On the other hand, the Republican Party has been taking active stances in an attempt to spread Freedom and Democracy around the world. Once we have Democrats in power who switch away from the Carter style of learning to live with dictators, and actively supporting calls for sanctions on people such as Fidel Castro, Hu Jintao, the Junta in Burma, President Mahmoud Iminajihad of Iran, and Kim Jong Il of North Korea, then they should be offered entry into the group. But until then, they need to be barred.

While their people fight for Human Rights, they fight for Political Power, which is not what the IDU is about.

"Hail Mary..."

For those of you wondering why i have not been posting recently on my blog, I have been very focused on events currently unfolding in Burma (I refuse to call it Myanmar). For the past few weeks, Bhuddist monks have been leading protests against the Military Junta currently occupying the Nation's capital.

Well, those protests have turned violent, as the Junta fired shots into a crowd of protestors in the capital. The government has claimed only one death, while the Protestors say that there has been eight.

I know who I am going to believe in this.

For all of you wondering, "What can I do?" the answer is sadly not much.

My suggestion would be to encourage your Senators and Congressmen to send a resolution condmening the acts, and begin to demand a boycott/sanctions system on both Burma and China.

Why China? Because while the corrupt Libyan led Human Rights Comission may be full of the worst scum in the world in terms of HR Abuses, even they have passed resolutions calling for sanctions against the Junta. Only the People's Republic has been able to block these moves.

The best answer to this would be for the UN to recognize the Republic of China as the Republic of Taiwan, and give the Security Council seat back to the government to which it was named in the original UN charter. This way, only Russia will be there to obstruct the path of Democracy and Peace, and there are ways to bypass them and pressure the government into reform.

So people, readers, friends, please do all you can to stop these abuses and bring democracy into our world, write your Senators, your Congressmen, even the President.

Even contact the leaders of the International Democratic Union or G8, the numerous Christian Democrats in this Political Union would be glad to support sanctions on the Human Rights Abusers around the world.

The IDU consists of:
The Liberal Party of Australia
The Austrian People's Party
National Independence Party of Azerbaijan
Union of Democratic Forces (Bulgaria)
Conservative Party of Canada
The Chinese Natioanlist Party (KMT) (Needs to be replaced by Pan-Green's Head Party)
Chiles Indpendent Democratic Union and National Renewal Party
Conservative Party of Columbia
Croation Democratic Party
Democratic Rally (Cyprus)
The Civic Democratic Party in the Czech Republic
Germany's Christian Democrat Party and Christian Social Union
Conservative and Unionist Party in Great Britain
and the American Republican Party to name a few

There will be more on the International Democratic Union in my next post, along with my suggestions on how to change it for the better.

Right to Drive

Well my friends, among the pictures of civil rights leaders that I have in my bedroom, a new one is going up. This is the picture of Fowziyah al-Oyouni, one of the founding members of the Saudi organization, the Committee of Demanders of Women's Right to Drive Cars. Long title, but an organization that needs all the support we can give it.

That is right, currently, the only nation with Religously segregated roads between Muslims and Non-Muslims does not allow their female citizens, or residents as some call them, to drive themselves around the city.

On average, a Saudi Family has to spend $300-$400 dollars a month to hire a live in male driver for the purpose of driving a car with blacked out windows so that the woman won't get "Exposed to temptation" according to some Sheiks.

For those families that cannot afford a live-in family, in other words most families, the women have to find a male relative of legal driving age who can drive them around.

If they cannot, then the shopping won't get done, the girls won't be able to go to school, and the teenagers will be stuck at home complaining.

But now, several women's rights organizations have come together and are going to be presenting the king with a formal petition by Sunday, the kingdom's national day.

But, it won't be easy.

Two years ago, Mohammed al-Zufa, a member of the unelected Consultative Council, suggested allowing women over the age of 35 to drive. His comment was met with calls to strip him of his citizenship in The Kingdom, and accusations that he was trying to convince women to discard their veils and mix around with women.

Egads, we can't have that. It will lead to the breakdown of society


Please.

People, friends, countrymen, people who read to much Shakespeare, please send letters to the King of Saudi Arabia, and ask him to allow his people to pursue a right that is granted to every other woman in the world. Or, if you are on Facebook, join the soon to be formed cause, Americans for the Rights of Muslim Women. All you will have to do is read tomorrow's post on "Honor Killings," an you will be begging to join.

The War, and Why we must Stay Part II

Well, My friend over at Where's th Humanity has posted the next part in his response, and seeing as you are either reading my Foreign Policy or my Military/Defense Blog, then this is the place where you can find my response.

19. I could not agree with you more on this point. Under the theory of Free Trade, every nation in the marketplace deserves to receive equal treatment in the market place unless they are being sanctioned for the purpose of reversing some heinous crime. Therefore, the United States should be bidding for that oil alongside everyone else, and should NOT be receiving any added benefits of this war.

We entered there to remove a genocidal despot who had used VX nerve gas on his own people, and who was hiding his Chemical Weapons Laboratories in trucks that where roaming Baghdad's streets. We went into Iraq for the purpose of creating a democracy in the Middle East, and creating stability in the region. We have partially succeeded, but this discount oil thing is a scheme from Hell and should be stopped.

20. Then lets try and put this into the hands of the marketplace. If a government is failing to do something this vital, then we should try to find someone else who will be able to do it, and the only place to look right now is the marketplace.

21. Apologize to the people we have hurt, yes. But not everybody is so innocent. Many, if not most, of the people we have captured in Iraq are foreign terrorists who came into Iraq because some sheik said it was the new battleground of the "Holy Jihad." Most of the people we are fighting against are members of a brainwashing cult that has been raising them since birth to believe that America is the "Great Satan" and the they should "Martyr themselves" to deal us a blow.

As for the world, I have to answers to that. 1. We have been flipping the world the bird since our birth in 1776, and 2. when we went in, we were very vocal about the fact that we were enforcing the UN resolution 1441, which stated un-equivocally that if the UN did not see real step toward Disarmament, then the members of the Security Council had the full rights to go in, disarm the nation, and remove Saddam Hussein from Power. We where within our full and legal rights goign into this war.

More on the Mobile Weapons labs, WMD's, and the Nerve Gas Atrocity on Arming Liberty tomorrow.

And, in relation to what Sir Knightly said about Bush's address, lets look at what he was saying from the beginning of the Surge.

1. This was going to be a large, short-term surge in troop levels that would result in higher amounts of troops in the long term than pre-surge levels

2. The Surge was designed to show the forces of Fear and Tyranny in Iraq that we have the ability to swamp them with our forces

3. The Surge is meant to be the first step to fully ensuring the democracy and freedom of the region.

Right now, the terrorists are flooding into Iraq because their Sheiks recognize one very important thing. IF Iraq "Falls" into the hands of Freedom, then the control of the current Islamo-Fascist governments across the Middle East will also collapse, and the major source of instability, the very governments of the Middle East themselves, will be no more, replaced with Democracies, where the people can come and petition the governments about their grievances, and do have to resort to indiscriminant bombings to make their voices heard.

While the "Occupation" may cause a short term spike in the number of deaths around the Middle East, a precipitous withdrawal would create a large slope of casualties as first Iraq, and then its neighbors fell into Anarchy.

Please, give long term peace a chance.

The War, And Why we Must Stay (Re-posted from Climate Heretic)

Recently, a friend and fellow Boy Scout posted a four part story about withdrawing from the Iraq War over at http://hopeforhumanity.blogspot.com/. However, as I disagree with him about the withdrawal, I will explain why we CAN NOT leave, and the ramifications of doing so. Sorry man, but these things need to be said.

I will say that I agree with him on one major point. That it is the right of the Iraqi people to govern themselves. However, at the same time, we have to understand that for them to maintain that right, the United States MUST stay in Iraq.

My colleague has argued that the concept of Democracy is an Alien one to the people of the Middle East outside of Israel. To this I must disagree.

Currently, Saudi Arabia is one of the largest sources of Terrorists and fighters in Iraq. Why is this? Why is it that a Dictatorial Regime that we are propping up is responsible for the most rouge fighters in the central battleground of the War on Terror?

Oh wait, I answered my own question. The reason that most of these people come from Saudi Arabia is because it is one of a very small number of Fear Societies that the US is propping up. The more we do so, the more of an enemy we seem to the people of that nation. The best thing we can do in that situation is to begin to press for freedom and democracy within the nation. Though we are dependent on Saudi Oil, Saudi Arabia is dependent on American Gasoline. And all we have to do is begin to put pressure on them economically, and the terrorists begin to lose.

Now, onto his points.
1: Staying in Iraq is, sadly, the only option: This is because as of right this moment, the Iraqi people are not ready to take over all of their defense priorities themselves. While the British have had some successes in and around their areas, the US is a major player, and a higher priority in this war. Also, currently, the fact that American Soldiers are there is one of the few things that have gotten the Sheiks of Al-Anbar province to turn on Al-Qaeda, who have been acting out of Al-Anbar since they first moved in. If we leave, then Iraq will descend into a level of anarchy not seen since Mogadishu. While we might not be a Stabilizing Presence, we have at least consolidated Iraq into two main camps. Those who support freedom, and those who are seeking political power.

Also, contrary to what Sir Knightly would have you believe, there have always been Terrorists in Iraq. Many Terrorists have used the nation as a staging and training ground. Also, while Saddam might not have had a direct role in the attacks six years ago Tuesday, the 9/11 Commission did find evidence of Saddam funneling money into terrorist groups and hiring terrorists to go and try to assassinate three different presidents. In fact, when Clinton bombed Baghdad, he did so with intel that said that bin Laden was in the city. Sadly, he failed in so very many ways over the years when it comes to Terrorism.

And no, the Terrorists are not on the side of the Iraqi's. Many claims have been made otherwise, but it is not true. If the Terrorists win, we will see a massive death toll as the civilization collapses in a way that would make Post-War Vietnam look like the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Once we are gone, the Mahdi Army, Al-Qaeda, the Northern Alliance, every single faction will fight against each other to gain dominance, and we will see either a second Afghanistan or a second Somalia. Neither of which bodes well for the United States, as both have been used by Al-Qaeda forces, and bodes even worse for the people as they are subjected to either the deathly restrictive Shariah Law or Institutionalized Anarchy. This is the lesson of History.

2: Currently, the United States is acting ONLY in conjunction with Iraqi Forces or at the request/permission of its government. Ever since the Iraqi Government has been set up, the United States Army and United States Marine Corps have moved into a support role, and only acting with the express permission of the government. In the rare occasions where independent action is necessary, the Iraqi Government has given them the go ahead and not done anything.

Only Logistics Missions, such as delivering blankets and food, or Engineering Missions, mainly building soccer fields for the kids and adults, are done independently, and that is because they are not Combat Missions. Even Convoy Duty is being done in Conjunction with Iraqi Forces.

3: He mentions the ethnic and cultural divides in the nation, ones created by Great Britain following WWI, when they carved up the Middle East. Thus proving that there is nothing more dangerous than a Bureaucrat or a Politician with a Pencil and a Map.

As for the Police Force, we are, as we speak, building just such a force. However, these are popular targets by the Terrorists as the uniforms allow them to move around without hassle. And the problem is not the ethnic divide, but rather the lack of outreach by the government to the minority Shi'ite and Kurd populations.

4: NO! the people caught in arms in Iraq and sent to Club Gitmo where caught in direct violation of the Geneva Conventions, and have been housed in the Island because if released, they would attack the United States and seek to replace the Government in Iraq with a Fear Society.

5: Portal Iraq is a little known website that serves as the English-Language Newswire for Iraq. It is mainly the economic side of the situation, but sometimes speaks on security.

Reading the website and its stories, I have come to a different conclusion. One of the main reasons that the ambitious, though accessible plans for reconstruction have not been met is because of Terrorists.

One water plant in Baghdad has been the source of seven bombings because the Terrorists realize that the more of the necessities that the people get, the worse that they will do in Iraq.

Therefore, an Iraqi Army is desperately needed to assist in the defense of major Utilities, especially power.

6: All of the bases being worked on in Iraq are going to be handed over to Iraqi Forces once Democracy and Freedom are firmly established. Why should we condemn some other nation to a base that we wouldn't use?

7: Leave the Green Zone? The Green Zone is the equivalent of the Washington Mall. The main difference being that and the Washington Mall is that all of the major utilities, defense, and law enforcement facilities in Baghdad are located there.

8: Why would we build an embassy outside of the Green Zone? That would be the equivalent of building an embassy in Arlington, VA. The Green Zone is the center of Government for the Republic of Iraq.

As for building a "Normal Embassy," only Canada has an American Embassy that looks like an ordinary office building. Even the Embassy in France is heavily defended. Hell, the Embassy to Israel looks like a Medieval Castle.

9: Stop paying Blackwater, and who knows what will happen. Currently, most Private Security Forces are hired by Contractors to defend utility sites and convoys of trucks going from one place to another. remove them, and the Infrastructure of Iraq is gone.

10: No real problem here, Land Mines totally suck in my opinion. Just don't get the UN involved. Then we will never get them out of the ground. Oh, and buy lots of Mine Sniffing Rats, they are more capable then dogs, and won't set off the mines.

11: Set up NGO's to do this. No argument that we have some things we need to pay for that have not been paid for yet, but a Government Organization will not get the funds to the people. Instead it will be Bookmarked to death. If you want to get them funds and such, rely on the Conservatives to pay for it. After all, Conservatives across the board give more money to charities than liberals do. I will explain more about that on Monday.

12: We are investing in Iraqi right now. Millions of dollars are being sent to Iraq, being invested in the Dinar and Infrastructure, not to mention that Iraqi Goods are starting to be sold in American Stores. Go to Portal Iraq for more details on the economic boom going on in Iraq.

Just like with number 11, this should be done in the Private Sector because it will be free of the Red Tape that will bog it down in the Governmental Sector. Plus, it won't be earmarked to death this way.

13: The "Ugly" Blast Walls have defended Markets, Infrastructure, Governmental Buildings, and so on. All of which are targets of the Butchers of Iraq.

14: Of course we tried to defend the Oil Wells, they are the corner stones of the Iraqi Economy. Crude Oil makes up 84% of the exports from Iraq.

Now, with time on our side, we can see that maybe we should have taken better care of these sites, but at the time, we were more interested in setting up a stable Democracy in Iraq.

And again, this shoudl be done through the private sector.

15: Once again, I have no arguments, except that it should be privately run.

16: Hey, makes since here, after all, we need to help keep Democracy in Iraq

17: No, no, a thousand times NO! International Organization is nothing but a euphemism for Embezzlement Ring. If we are going to do this, we need to do it through small charity organizations, and through scholarships from the organizations to train these vital peoples.

18: These efforts are already being made. The reason that they are not succeeding is because the people who left are afraid of returning to a Fear Society, and do not wish to leave a free one.

Also, tonight I will be blogging on the major expose that Sean Hannity is going to make regarding a major Prior in the Church of Global Warming. Tune in then.

Chinese Riots

Oh, after seeing the news that Syria has The Bomb, this is very welcomed news. Recently, riots have begun to rock the "People's Republic" following their crackdown on the One-Child policy. According to Reuters, the corrupt agents of the Chinese Government have been going around demanding Protection Money from families with more than the single allowed child.

And it is severely angering the Chinese people.

And, to make things better for all the freedom-lovers trapped within that fear society, the ARMY is turning on the GOVERNMENT!

BEIJING - Up to 1,000 ex-soldiers clashed with police in a riot on a university campus in northeast China, locals and a rights group said today, in the fourth such incident reported this week.

Ha, ha, I am crowing with laughter over this! This is amazing news for the nation of Taiwan, and the US government NEEDS to be supplying the rioters with arms and money so that we can get a fully fledged rebellion, and thus bring about the democracy that the Chinese People are asking for.

Al-Qaeda delt a blow

BAGHDAD, Sept. 13 (UPI) -- Al-Qaida militants in Iraq have taken heavy losses in two joint U.S.-Iraqi raids north of Baghdad, the U.S. military reported Thursday.

In one operation involving more than 1,000 U.S. troops and Iraq Special Forces in the Hemreen mountain area and Diyala river valley, three al-Qaida fighters were killed and 80 others were arrested, the Army statement said.

The report said four of the arrested men are considered senior leaders in the terror group, Kuwait's KUNA news agency reported. U.S. air support was used to conclude the raid, after which a major weapons cache was found, the statement said.

Elsewhere in Salah Al-Din province, U.S. forces arrested 12 al-Qaida suspects and destroyed an entire house packed with explosives and weaponry, the report said.

I am currently Ecstatic because of this. That large of a victory is always good news. Especially when you consider that theses people where undermining the successes in Iraq, and making victory harder. Interesting that this is frustrating the Democrats, but that is not part of this blog.

The reason I am so ecstatic si because of something I am currently writing about over on my blog, Arming Liberty. This is the legendary "Day of Islam" that Al-Qaeda is currently pursuing, in which they nuke numerous cities around the country.

I know, I know, it sounds like something out of Jericho, but the concept is real, and Al-Qaeda has been planning this for years.

The World as we Know it has Ended

I know, I know, this sounds overly alarmists, but given the increasing tensions in the Middle East, I would have to say that the End of the World as We Know It has come. This phrase shall be shortened to TEOTWAWKI from now on.

For those who haven't paid attention, there are mounting tensions between Syria and Israel, no big surprise, but the shape of the conflict has changed.

Syria has The Bomb.

Yes, that's right, now both of the worst two human rights abusers int he Middle East either have The Bomb or are coming close to having it.

And, worst of all, both nations are calling for the elimination of Israel louder than ever before.

And, as if that isn't enough, Syria is going to be giving their weapons to Hezbollah, which has cells in almost every nation in the world.

If I get any sleep tonight, I will be amazed.

Russia's descent

Tzao-gao! Russia is really going to hell in a Handbasket these days, and it makes me sick. After the long fight to bring freedom to Russia, some arrogant BUN tyen-shung duh ee-DWAY-RO ex director of the KGB has decided to make the nation into his personal playground.

Thankfully, Ronald Reagan doesn't have to watch as the greatest success of his presidency go down in smoke at the hands of a Tyrannical Wannabe.

For those who missed the news, Vladimir Putin, (Sidenote: never trust a guy named Vlad) has dropped the Father Of All Bombs to distract his people from the fact that he has essentially dissolved the government and made himself the permanent leader of the nation.

Well, Russia, my heart goes out to you, and my prayers go out to the Lord. You are gonna need it.

And to whoever takes over as the President next year, please follow the Sharansky Protocol and force Russia back into freedom, because without it, we could face yet another Cold War.

Natan Sharansky

Natan Sharansky is a man who deserves more than a little praise in our world. Sadly, he gets none.

We all know of the so-called Bush Doctrine, where-in the government of a nation deals with other nations based on how free the other nation is. In this model, the Free Society uses Economic Pressure to force a Fear Society into becoming a Free one.

Sadly, so-called "Realists" in Foreign Policy have declared that this is not reasonable, and that it will never work. Apparently they slept through the Cold War.

The Realists claim that the Soviet Union was destined to collapse when it did, to which I must reply with a popular Russian phrase among fellow fans of the movie Serenity. Eta Kooram Nah Smech, or, in English, that is for Chickens to laugh at.

If an appeaser like Jimmy Carter had come to power instead of Reagan, then Russia would still be under Soviet Rule. Why? Because the Soviet Union required two things of the United States for the leadership to hold onto their power. The first was a nation on which they could gain trade and technology, and the second is a nation that they can call their enemy while secretly relying upon them. When Reagan began to implement the SDI, or Star Wars, program, he removed both of those things from the Soviets, leading to the beginning of the end, and the shoe of Gorbachev being lodged firmly within his own mouth, and not the American Collective pee-goo.


The only way we can ever have peace on this planet is if the entire world is either A. only democracies and republics, or B. ruled by Jesus Christ. And, since the second seems to be a long time coming, we should strongly push the concept of basing our foreign policy on another nation's domestic policy.

after all, a nation that does not respect the rights of it's citizens will NOT respect the rights of its neighbors.

Welcome fans of the Climate Heretic

Welcome all, this is The Heretic, though I am Patriot Joe here. These are the rantings of mine on the subject of Foreign Policy. Up tomorrow is a brief overview of my stance on the subject. Tune in then.
