This is a must-read by Michael Ledeen about Iranian clicks and the nuclear timeline.
However, before you click there, please read this below about a counter-protest by the Waldorf Astoria tomorrow. I hope you can make it!
NCYI JOINS OTHERS IN URGENT CALL TO MOBILIZE IN MANHATTAN MARCH 9:
URGENT COUNTER-PROTEST ,
TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 5-7 P.M.
TO ALL THOSE WHO CARE ABOUT ISRAEL –
IT IS URGENT THAT YOU ATTEND THE COUNTER-PROTEST RALLY.
from Americans for a Safe Israel
Across from the WALDORF ASTORIA – PARK AVENUE, between 49th & 50th , NYC
On Tuesday, March 9, The Friends of the IDF is having their annual dinner at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in NYC. We have learned that there will be an Arab demonstration outside the hotel, defaming the IDF and Gabi Ashkenazi, the Chief of the IDF General Staff.
We will be handing out information, holding signs, Israeli and American flags, and alerting the public as to the true nature of Fatah, Hamas and the PA. The Hamas terrorist acts against Christians and Fatah, the use of women and children as human shields, the firing of rockets from mosques, homes, and schools in order to deter IDF retaliation, the misinformation and hatred being fed to Arab children in their classrooms and through PA media, will all be detailed.
We’ll be highlighting the IDF and Israeli assistance to the Arabs in the fields of medical care, education, and providing a standard of living for Arab Israelis that is the highest in the Middle East. In addition, in opposition to the recent “apartheid” claims against Israel, the Israeli Arabs enjoy full democratic rights in the Knesset , in their religious observances, and in the media.
A number of grass roots activist groups have come together to counter-protest on that evening. They include Americans For a Safe Israel/AFSI, Get Out The Facts, Human Rights Coalition Against Radical Islam, National Council of Young Israel, Shalom International, Stand With Us, World Committee for the Land of Israel, Zionist Organization of America/ZOA . Individuals such as Assemblyman Dov Hikind, Lori Lowenthal Marcus, and Andy Upton are also working with us. Others continue to join. PLEASE BE THERE WITH US – MARCH 9, 5-7 P.M.
————————-
As far as the Ledeen goes, please click through and read his whole article, which is very well-written. But here is the choice “money quote”:
As for the other clock, the one ticking off the lifespan of the Islamic Republic, the mullahs continue their murderous and sadistic campaign against the citizens of Iran, and the citizens search for new ways to show their contempt. The regime relentlessly arrests dissidents and accuses them of actions that only a fanatical regime in crisis could concoct. For example, they went after Mohammed Maliki, 76 yrs old, the first chancellor of Tehran U after the Revolution, and arrested him during treatment for prostate cancer. Maliki said to his captors [3], “I was afraid you would let me die in my bed,” and has refused to “repent” or confess. He’s accused of being a Mohareb, one who fights against God. They execute such men in Iran nowadays for criticizing the regime. I honor them, and wish my leaders would do the same, instead of pretending to have a serious Iran policy.
While we’re at it, let’s honor Omid Montazeri [4]. His father was one of the victims of the mass murder of political prisoners in 1988. Omid is a blogger, journalist and a final year law student at Allameh University. His articles on cultural issues have been published by many official newspapers. His mother was arrested shortly after Christmas, and Omid went to the Intelligence Ministry to inquire about her, whereupon he was thrown into the hellhole, “tried” without access to a lawyer, and condemned to six years.
And let’s honor the Kurds, victims of mass brutality [5] in which the Turks and the Syrians are surely complicit, and about which the usual Western accomplices to evil are typically silent.
Some of those pious people who bleed oceans of ink for the sweet “victims of Guantanamo” would be more convincing if they could spare a few harsh words for the monsters who govern Iran, and who seek our death and destruction.
Indeed. There are so many “outrage monkeys” out there, but where is the outrage at the real horrors going on around the world? Sadly, it is lacking. Why is it that ‘feminists’ and ‘gay activists’ have been so silent vis a vis Iran? Why, the ‘Columbia Queer Alliance’ [at Columbia University] even claimed that Ahmadinejad’s claim that there are ‘no gays in Iran’ was an excuse to ‘reelevaluate sexuality!’
We live in a topsy turvy world, where the good is demonized. Please come out tomorrow and support the good, outside the Waldorf-Astoria in New York.

These leftwing groups are no different than the German American Bund of the 30′s.
I will be there in spirit, and I will be carrying a lead pipe !

From the CuFI website:
Israel’s time of need is now. There is a new Hitler in the Middle East –President Ahmadinejad of Iran — who has threatened to wipe out Israel and America and is rapidly acquiring the nuclear technology to make good on his threat. If we learned anything from the Holocaust, it is that when a madman threatens genocide we must take him seriously.
During the Holocaust, too many Christians were silent, and we were left to mourn the slaughter of 6 million Jews. Today, Bible-believing Christians must speak up and stand up for Israel. We must act to do whatever we can to protect Israel’s 6 million Jews from the second Holocaust. We must get it right this time. Our faith demands it. The times require it. Silence is not an option.
@ WrathofG-d:
Umm…I think that’s three words.
You aren’t in charge of counting the “created or saved jobs” for Obama, are you?
@ lobo91:
No, if he were, those would be 30,000 words…

Peppercorn is one word. You deniers are always trying to deny that peppercorn steak is two words, just because Obama is black!
@ lobo91:
I should have done this a long time ago…get off my blog!
Wow.
@ WrathofG-d:
It is appropriate, in light of the recording you posted, to remind people that “the world” wildly rejoiced when the Berlin Wall fell, and the capital of Hitler’s Germany, divided in the wake of WWII, was reunited.
That same “world” has worked, and continues to work, ceaselessly to re-divide the capital of the Jewish state which, after more than 65 years of preparatory nation-building, finally came into being in the wake of Hitler’s attempted genocide.

I am not sure what the process is of linking to other blogs, but Joel C. Rosenberg has a really good one. I stumbled on to it when researching him (Rosenberg) because of a book I am reading. The book Inside the Revolution is an excellent book and has been most informative regarding islam and the beliefs.

I was looking for an article that he had referenced in his book on questions the MSM should be asking imadinnerjacket (hey, I can’t spell it and don’t really care about disrespecting the dude). I think I found it here. Haven’t read the entire thing. Very good info (imho).

Don’t look now, but Chunckles is PRAISING GLENN BECK FOR IMPLYING THAT GEERT WILDERS IS A FASCIST!
The Osprey wrote:
yeah, saw this at pam’s place
Something very disturbing happened today on FOX. Glenn Beck, who has, for the most part, steered clear of jihad, sharia and Islamic supremacism, put his toe in the water, and for the first time since I started fighting the long war, I got nervous.
I think glen just shot his credibility in the foot
The Osprey wrote:
Uh-oh. He might have to ban himself.
@ rain of lead:
Charles Krauthammer called Wilders a “demagogue,” and not in a nice way.
Is his credibility shot too?
OT
Sorry,,
But, or rather butt’s….
The Eric Massa deal, the “Congressonal Gym”, the Democrats, the
Ram Emanual poking fingers naked in showers,,
done on a regular basis…..he uses the Gym as a place to intimidate members of the House?????
WTF??
Are we back in the Rome decadent time, from what Massa claims it was not the first time he was “lectured” by Ram with both of them naked in the Gym..
What the hell is the physcology of this bunch of kooks……
IMHO this is a slip of the group mind of these loons,,,,,,
way weird if you ask me…
Beck didn’t do his homework.
Geert Wilders is a brave man. A Hero.
Glen, go back to crying about your Grandfathers chair
@ Bumr50:
demagogue is a far cry from fascist
Charles ‘Sniveling Quisling’ Johnson is overjoyed that Beck made such a stupid comparison. Johnson also linked back to Pamela, calling her a “shrieking harpy”.
B.T.W., I defended Geert Wilders at LGF and got banned by Johnson for daring to speak the truth on his blog.
I watched Beck. I wasn’t sure what he was saying about Wilders other than that
even in europe and the UK, there is a rightward lean happening.
But he sure did mix up the French guys and that was a head scratcher.
@ Bumr50:
Doesn’t make him right. I agree with Dr. K on a lot, but not everything. Wilders isn’t perfect, but he is the best Europe has to offer. We are often admonished that we have to embrace the most conservative politician who can win rather than holding out for the perfect conservative, and there is a lot of truth to that. It would seem to me that that would especially apply to European politician, the lot of whom have nearly universally sucked throughout the 20th Century (with the exceptions of Churchill and Thatcher). Wilders sucks less than his opposition. That is good enough for me.
last year wilders was in the US to show Fitna to some members of congress(remember that?) o’reiliy and beck both interviewed him, guess
they forgot what he stands for
Bumr50 wrote:
Yes.
Maybe Krauthammer & Beck are just ignorant. Perhaps all they know is what they hear/see in the MSM. Let’s give them a few days to see the error of their ways.
In fact, I haven’t heard ANY talking head with a large, national audience come out in support of Wilders. At least not in a direct fashion.
None of them get it. They all almost uniformly kowtow to the “peaceful Islam” vs. “small minority of radical Islamists” argument when pushed.
I’m sure if asked Beck would call the EDL a reprehensible organization.
It’s one of the major arguments I have with Beck, the extent of how extreme the opposition must be in this country to effectively neutralize these socialist sh*theads.
I’m not gonna throw him under the bus though, because I think that the good that he does FAR outweighs any beef I might have with him.
For as much praise as I give Glen Beck for what he is doing to expose Chavez wannabe Obama, he is dead wrong here. He is totally ignorant to the threat Holland is facing and what geert wilders is trying to do.
so until he learns something about the creeping menace in Europe, he better stick to eating M&M’s and drawing on his chalkboard about US domestic policy
ps
also,,
Massa reports that “all the shower curtains” have been removed from all the showers
WTF is going on , flat ass weird…@ taxfreekiller:
only choice there is
http://www.blowoutcongress.com
IMHO
@ Doppelganger:
I believe that he thinks that Europe is in danger of coming under totalitarian, nationalist regimes, as in the 20′s and 30′s.
He sees Wilders as the tip of the iceberg, and likens Wilders condemnation of the Islamic faith as being akin to Hitler’s aversion to Judaism.
This is an unfair comparison to me, but I believe this to be his line of reasoning.
