If the president and the FCC believe we must implement net neutrality as quickly as possible, they should work with Congress rather than undertaking the longer and riskier path of freelancing at the edge of the agency’s statutory authority.
The Commission’s approach is a massive expansion of the Commission’s power into an area of vast economic and political significance. It is anything but mere “statutory interpretation” – and for this reason it is quite likely to face a rough road as it heads to court.
[T]he US has arrived at a turning point in the development of the web. The present direction of Internet regulation threatens the ability of networks to advance. …. The Internet as we know it today is a distillation of ideas developed around the world by both public and private sector researchers supported by investments from both public and private sources. Most of the magic comes from the profit-driven private sector. As amazing as the Internet is today, it still falls short of its potential. It’s a certainty that the rules imposed on Wheeler will slow the Internet’s rate of progress and lock in current applications. Congress can take steps to undo the damage about to be inflicted — and it should.If you’d like to learn more, join us on March 2 for the AEI event “The path ahead for US Internet policy: A conversation with Representative Greg Walden.” Rep Walden, chairman of the House Subcommittee on Communications and Technology, will discuss the implications of the FCC’s net neutrality vote.
IntroductionEver ask yourself why during the 30 year period - between 1917 to 1947 - thousands of Jews throughout the world woke up one morning and decided to leave their homes and go to Palestine? The majority did this because they heard that a future national home for the Jewish people was being established in Palestine, on the basis of the League of Nations obligation under the “Mandate for Palestine” document. The “Mandate for Palestine,” an historical League of Nations document, laid down the Jewish legal right to settle anywhere in western Palestine, between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, an entitlement unaltered in international law. The “Mandate for Palestine” was not a naive vision briefly embraced by the international community. Fifty-one member countries – the entire League of Nations – unanimously declared on July 24, 1922:“Whereas recognition has been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country.”It is important to point out that political rights to self-determination as a polity for Arabs were guaranteed by the same League of Nations in four other mandates – in Lebanon and Syria (The French Mandate), Iraq, and later Trans-Jordan [The British Mandate].Any attempt to negate the Jewish people’s right to Palestine - Eretz-Israel, and to deny them access and control in the area designated for the Jewish people by the League of Nations is a serious infringement of international law.The “Road Map” vision, as well as continuous pressure from the “Quartet” (U.S., the European Union, the UN and Russia) to surrender parts of Eretz-Israel are contrary to international law that firmly call to “encourage … close settlement by Jews on the land, including State lands and waste lands not required for public purposes.” It also requires the Mandatory for “seeing that no Palestine territory shall be ceded or leased to, or in any way placed under the control of the government of any foreign power.”In their attempt to establish peace between the Jewish state and its Arab neighbors, the nations of the world should remember who the lawful sovereign is with its rights anchored in international law, valid to this day: The Jewish Nation. And in support of the Jewish people, I sat down and wrote this pamphlet.
It is the Bourgeois Deal: “You accord to me, a bourgeois projector, the liberty and dignity to try out my schemes in a voluntary market, and let me keep the profits, if I get any, in the first act—though I accept, reluctantly, that others will compete with me in the second. In exchange, in the third act of a new, positive-sum drama, the bourgeois betterment provided by me (and by those pesky, low-quality, pricespoiling competitors) will make you all rich”. And it did.
We killed 6 million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned culture, thought, creativity, and talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world. The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned.Spanish Writer Sebastian Vilar Rodriguez; January 15, 2008
Under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we are cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who bought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty, due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.
And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition…what a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe.

Whatever the case, the public is being denied the facts about decisions affecting the lives of their children. Fortunately, the public can go to sites like www.aim.org and theNational Vaccine Information Center for information that is being denied to them.

| THE REAL CRUSADERS |
| Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler | |
| Tuesday, 10 February 2015 | |
[This was written in 2005. We are republishing it in light of Zero's idiotic Prayer Breakfast speech last week, comparing Medieval Christians to Moslem terrorists of today who want the whole world to live in their world of Dark Ages barbarism. This is the real history of the Crusades in summary form. It is not taught in schools or universities today, and certainly never learned by Zero. He claims to have been educated at Harvard and Columbia, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and his words and deeds have never provided any evidence he is educated in any way.] It’s amazing how much the Arabs complain about the Crusades when they had so little to do with them. The Crusades were their great trauma, they constantly moan, the bottomless source of their resentment of the West and Christianity. Mysteriously, they never condemn the Real Crusaders who wiped out their entire civilization. There were eight separate Crusades over two hundred years, from 1095 through 1294. The Arabs played no significant role in any. The first was caused by the Seljuk Turks, who had swarmed out of Central Asia to conquer the Middle East, and seized Jerusalem in 1070. The Holy City had been part of the Fatimid Empire of Ismaili Shia Berbers from North Africa, who provided Christian pilgrims unhindered access to their holy places and freedom to worship in their churches. The Seljuks conducted pogroms on the Christians and desecrated their churches. They also terrified Byzantine Emperor Alexius I, who had lost much of his empire to them, so much that he pleaded with his rival in Rome, Pope Urban II, to call for all Christendom to rescue the Holy Sepulcher from the Islamic infidels. The French answered the call and conducted the First Crusade, culminating in their sack of Jerusalem on July 15, 1099. Led by Godfrey of Bouillon, they slaughtered 70,000 Moslems (the majority Berbers and Turks), and herded every Jew into a synagogue to burn them alive. Thus was formed the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. After this initial atrocity, the European citizens of this new kingdom (almost all men) began marrying local ladies, adopting local customs, dress, and speech, many Christian-Moslem friendships and alliances formed, and there was over 40 years of peace. Then a Kurdish army out of Mosul (now in northern Iraq) overran a remote Christian stronghold called Edessa (now in southeastern Turkey) in 1144, and somehow this prompted Pope Eugenius III to call for a Second Crusade. Two armies set out separately, one French, one German, and in 1148 on their way to Edessa in the middle of Turkey, were slaughtered almost to a man by Seljuk armies. Forty more years of peace for the Kingdom of Jerusalem passed. By that time, the legendary Saladin (Salah al-Din Al-Ayyubi 1137-1193), leading that Kurdish army that had taken Edessa, had become Sultan of Egypt, replacing the Berber Fatimid dynasty with his Kurdish Ayyubid dynasty. Saladin’s defeat of a Crusader army at the Horns of Hittin on July 4, 1187 above the Sea of Galilee was the most famous battle of all the Crusades. When Jerusalem surrendered to him on October 12, there was no sack and slaughter, and the Holy Sepulcher remained open to Christians. Nonetheless, Jerusalem’s fall led to the 67 year-old Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa (Red Beard) to call for a Third Crusade in 1189. He led a French army into Turkey where he drowned crossing a small river, and most of his men subsequently wiped out by the Seljuks. Then the new King of England, 31 year-old Richard the Lion Heart sailed to the Holy Land with an army of Norman knights. He captured Acre and Jaffa, and defeated Saladin at Arsuf. Showing the utmost chivalry and respect for each other, Richard and Saladin signed a peace treaty on September 2, 1192, leaving the Holy Land’s coast in Christian and Jerusalem in Moslem hands. Saladin died the next year and Pope Innocent III called for a Fourth Crusade. It ended up having nothing to do with Jerusalem, or any Moslems at all. The Crusaders, most of whom as before were French, gathered in Venice and were paid (downpayment, 200,000 silver marks) by the son of the recently deposed Byzantine Emperor Isaac II Angelus to sack Constantinople and restore his father to the throne. Innocent III forbade it, the armada sailed anyway, when the Roman Catholic Crusaders entered Constantinople the Greek Orthodox populace revolted, and the sack was on. Not many Greeks were killed, but for three days, April 12-14, 1204, the pillage was unrestrained. Most of the Crusaders returned home with their spoils, and the recapture of Jerusalem forgotten. Innocent III’s successor, Honorius III never forgot and insisted on a Fifth Crusade, with the Crusaders (this time mostly Germans and Hungarians) sailing to Egypt in 1217 (thinking to reach Jerusalem from the south), wasted three years in fruitless fighting with the Kurdish Ayyubids in the Nile Delta, and sailed back. Through all of this there still was a Kingdom of Jerusalem, no longer possessing the Holy City itself but ruling the Holy Land coast from the city of Acre (north of Haifa in Israel). In 1225 it was ruled by John of Brienne, whose daughter, Isabella, married the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II (grandson of Barbarossa). Claiming he now had a title on Jerusalem, Frederick called for a Sixth Crusade. Frederick II (1194-1250) was one of the most extraordinary personalities of the Middle Ages, so extraordinary he was known in his own time as Stupor Mundi, the Wonder of the World. He spoke nine languages, could read and write in seven, had a working understanding of all the science of his day, was a renowned warrior, and advocated a medieval version of free market economics. He conducted the Sixth Crusade peacefully, without a single battle or casualty. As their armies faced each other at Nablus north of Jerusalem, Frederick sat down with Ayyubid Sultan Malik al-Kamil (Saladin’s nephew who had defeated the Fifth Crusaders in Egypt), and impressed him with his knowledge of Islamic literature, science, and philosophy. They signed a ten-year treaty, with Sultan Kamil ceding Jerusalem (excepting the Enclosure with the Dome of the Rock) plus Nazareth and Bethlehem to Frederick, who was crowned King of Jerusalem (deposing 80 year-old John of Brienne in the process) in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher on March 18, 1229 with the blessing of the Sultan standing by. Christians and Moslems in the Holy Land rejoiced. Pope Gregory IX, who hated Frederick, denounced the treaty as an insult to Christendom and refused to ratify it. Sultan Kamil died in 1238. The Ayyubid army was now dominated by mameluks, captured and enslaved soldiers (mostly Slavs and Turks). One of them, a huge Kipchak Turk from Russia named Baibars, began seizing power. Leading a Mameluk army, in October 1244, he sacked Jerusalem, killing its citizens indiscriminately. King Louis IX of France (St. Louis 1214-1270) declared a Seventh Crusade. Marching up the Nile towards Cairo, his army was destroyed by Baibars, and he himself was subsequently captured in March of 1250 and held captive for four years. Baibars completed his seizure of power in 1260 when he killed the last Ayyubid Sultan and became Sultan himself. Dedicating himself to destroying the remaining Christian cities along the Holy Land coast (the Levant), he sacked Caesara in 1265, Safad in 1266, Jaffa in 1267, and ancient Antioch, “The Queen of the East,” in 1268, killing and enslaving tens of thousands of Christians. This roused Louis IX to declare an Eighth Crusade. He was persuaded to launch it in Tunis in North Africa as an approach to Egypt. He died of dysentery a few days after his arrival on August 25, 1270. The last remaining Christian city in the Holy Land was Acre with its impregnable walls. Baibars died in 1277. A Mameluk successor, Sultan al-Asraf Khalil, assaulted it and after a siege of 43 days, Acre fell on June 17, 1291. 60,000 Christians were slaughtered or enslaved. The Kingdom of Jerusalem was extinguished and the Crusades were over. You’ll notice that in this entire struggle of two centuries, the Christian Crusaders never fought any Arabs. They fought Berbers, Turks, Kurds, and Mameluks - none of which were Arab. So where were these guys? Off in Baghdad. This was the seat of the Abassid Caliphs whose rulers claimed descent from Abbas, an uncle of Mohammed, and had run the Arab Empire since 750. The most famous of them was the fifth, Harun al-Rashid (763-809), whom Scheherezade entranced with her Tales of a Thousand and One Nights. When Moslem refugees from Godfrey of Bouillon’s sack of Jerusalem in 1099 fled to Baghdad begging for their Moslem Arab brethren to help them recapture the sacred city, Caliph al-Mustazhir ignored them. As a Sunni orthodox Moslem, he couldn’t be bothered with the plight of these Fatimid Ismaili Shia heretics. When Saladin appealed to the Abbasid Caliph An-Nasir in 1191 for help against Richard, the Arab caliph ignored him. No Arab ruler, no Arab Caliph in Baghdad, ever fought the Christian Crusaders, or ever offered help to their fellow Moslems who did. Right up to 1258, when the Real Crusaders arrived and obliterated Arab civilization. The Real Crusaders were the Mongols. To this day, much of Central Asia and the Middle East - the Heartland of Islam - has never recovered from their depredations. Under Genghis Khan, the Mongol invasion of Islam began in 1219. The great Central Asian Silk Road cities were razed to the ground, Bukhara, Khiva, Nishapur, Rayy, and Merv, slaughtering every man, woman, child, cat, and dog - in Merv over 700,000 people, over 1,000,000 (yes, one million human beings) in Nishapur. Genghis returned to Mongolia and died in 1227. Thirty years later, his grandson Hulagu, decided to finish the Moslems off. On February 10, 1258, his giant Mongol army broke through the gates of Baghdad beginning forty days of pillage and massacre. 800,000 people were put to the Mongol sword, libraries with hundreds of thousands of volumes burned down, the entire city turned to rubble, Caliph Al-Mustassim (the last of the Abbasids) wrapped in a carpet and trampled to death by Mongol horses, the capital of Arab civilization and culture smoldering in Mongol ashes, and with it Arab civilization itself annihilated for centuries. But you never hear a word of this from the Jihadis, from Osama and other Arab terrorists fanatics crazed with hate for... us? We, the Christians, the Crusaders, the West, we had nothing to do with the destruction of Arab civilization. All this Al Qaeda fulminating about “the Crusaders” is just a phony rationale for their pathological hatreds. Hopefully, this history will enable those liberals not inextricably buried in self-mortification to resist their perennial call for America and the West and the Vatican, et el, to “apologize” for the Crusades. Apologize... to whom? Certainly not the Arabs. Certainly not the Turks. We should make the Moslems a deal. We won’t demand an apology from them - Arabs in particular - for conducting a Moslem Crusade that conquered the Christian Middle East by the sword in the 7th Century (a crusade that killed vastly more Christians than all the 8 Crusades together killed Moslems). In return, the Arabs should feel free to demand an apology from the Mongols. If they don’t take the deal, then from now on we’ll point out that they, the Arab Moslems, were the real Real Crusaders. What right did they have to swarm out of the sands of Arabia and spread their religion by the sword over lands that had been Christian for centuries, over places that had been Holy to Christians for centuries? Ultimately, the Arabs are the Real Crusaders, and until they stop whining about “the Crusades,” we should never let them forget it. |
READ MOREMerck’s Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine is under fire following allegations of wrongdoing from several parties, namely two former Merck scientists-turned-whistleblowers. A third whistleblower is a senior scientist at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), who has confessed to misconduct involving the same MMR vaccine.A U.S. judge rejected Merck’s attempt at a dismissal after determining there was plausible grounds for the claims. Therefore the medical giant is being forced to defend themselves and their vaccine in at least two federal cases. Merck could also be forced to defend itself in Congress. Representative Bill Posey (R-FL) – a known critic of the CDC whom is investigating the link between autism and vaccines – is reviewing hundreds of documents turned over by the CDC whistleblower.

Middle class workers and the working poor are clearly getting hammered by the current importation of foreign workers. In life there are winners and there are losers. If American workers — especially middle class workers — are losing, and losing big, someone must be winning. The question is simple, “Who benefits from open borders and failures to enforce the immigration laws?
What is generally not known is that among the provisions of Comprehensive Immigration Reform, the legislative betrayal of American citizens, is that it would provide for a huge increase in the number of H-1B visas for high tech workers and a provision that would, for the very first time, permit the spouses and adult children of H-1B visa holders to be granted Employment Authorization Documents (EAD’s) that would give these nonimmigrant family members as much right to any job as an American worker.
Senator Ted Cruz, however, is truly leading the charge against American high-tech workers. He provided an amendment to Comprehensive Immigration Reform (S.744) referred to as “Cruz 5.” The goal of his amendment was made crystal clear in the video of statements by Cruz at a Senate hearing on this issue. His amendment provides for a 500% increase in the cap for H-1B visas, increasing the current annual cap of 65,000 such visas to an outrageous 325,000 Science, Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) professionals.READ MORE
According to a three-part series published by the Washington Times, it was Hillary Clinton who was insisting that the U.S. remove Libya’s Muammar Gadhafi in 2011 while pushing false narratives to do so. These reports have allegedly caught the attention of the House Select Committee on Benghazi. What must be included in this analysis is just how influential Clinton’s most trusted adviser Huma Abedin was and is. If anyone had a vested interest in removing Gadhafi from power to benefit Libya’s Muslim Brotherhood rebels, it was Huma’s Muslim Brotherhood family.READ MORE
To illustrate how close Huma and Hillary were, it was Abedin who first informed her boss of Gadhafi’s death:
...whereas historical Christian violence could find no scriptural justification, and much to condemn it, Islamic violence and intolerance––and of course slavery and Jew-hatred––are not the result of fringe or extremist misinterpretations. Rather, they are validated in the Koran, the Hadith, and 14 centuries of Islamic theology and jurisprudence, all regularly and copiously cited by today’s jihadists and theologians.READ MORE
Thus the doctrine of jihad against infidels––the notion that such aggression is a justified form of the defense of Islam and necessary for fulfilling Allah’s will that all people become Muslims––is the collective duty of those dwelling in the House of Islam. [Emphasis mine.]
To those in Western democracies, these accommodating actions appear, on the surface, to be little more than harmless civil gestures, respecting the needs of a growing religion in their midst and welcoming a new addition to their proud, multicultural tradition. Many Westerners pat themselves on the back for their liberal bent, their tolerance and their open-mindedness.READ MORE
Little do they realize that this strategic pattern of demands is part of an insidious, 1,400-year-old proscription for Muslims that originates in the Koran and the Sunnah, the deeds of Mohammed. It is the Hijra or doctrine of immigration. Modeled by Mohammed's migration from Mecca to Medina, this immigration is not to a romanticized melting pot wherein newcomers gratefully search for opportunities for a better life in liberty and freely offer their talents and loyalty to benefit their new homeland. This is immigration for Islamic expansionism employing ethnic separatism to gain special status and privileges within the host country. Hijra is immigration designed to subvert and subdue non-Muslim societies and pave the way for eventual, total Islamization.
