ISLAMISOGYNISTS ATTACK WOMEN PROTESTING SEXUAL ASSAULTS IN EGYPT

Just call it the Male Arab Spring in motion:
CAIRO - A mob of hundreds of men assaulted women holding a march seeking an end to sexual harassment Friday, with the attackers overwhelming the male guardians and groping and molesting several of the female marchers in Cairo’s Tahrir Square.

From the ferocity of the assault, some of the victims said it appeared to have been an organized attempt to drive women out of demonstrations and trample on the prodemocracy protest movement.

The attack follows smaller-scale assaults on women this week in Tahrir, the epicenter of an uprising that forced Hosni Mubarak to resign last year. Thousands have been gathering in the square this week in protests on a variety of issues - mainly about fears that presidential elections this month will secure the continued rule by elements of Mubarak’s regime backed by the ruling military.

Earlier in the week, a reporter witnessed about 200 men assault a woman who eventually fainted before men trying to help could reach her.

The march Friday was called to demand an end to sex assaults. About 50 women participated, surrounded by a larger group of male supporters who joined hands to form a protective ring around them. The protesters carried posters saying, “The people want to cut the hand of the sexual harasser,’’ and chanted, “The Egyptian girl says it loudly, harassment is barbaric.’’

After the marchers entered a crowded corner of the square, a group of men waded into the women, heckling them and groping them. The male supporters tried to fend them off, and it turned into a melee involving a mob of hundreds. [...]

Mariam Abdel-Shahid, a 25-year-old cinema student who took part in the march, said “sexual harassment will only take us backward.’’


“This is pressure on the woman to return home,’’ she said.
More specifically, to become prisoners based upon their gender. Another result of the fallout from sharia-based violence in Egypt.

Oil Prices Fall Below Break-Even for Several Nations

... and what that might mean.

Important note: In this post, the break-even point seems defined as the price point needed to pay for the various government services the oil props up.

Countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, and the UAE, are countries who have few industries, other than oil, contributing to their GDP.

Additionally, these countries are leveraged about as far as they can go, with respect to the various government services they provide to their citizens.

They are at a breaking point. If they fail to provide said services, Revolution could be the next step.

From Al Fin:
Despite a fall of oil prices below break-even levels for several nations, Saudi Arabia shows no inclination of reducing its high rate of oil production.

 Following is a table of some OPEC producers' fiscal breakeven oil prices:
 
                $/bbl
 Algeria        105
 Iran           117
 Iraq           112
 Kuwait         44
 Libya          117
 Qatar          42
 Saudi Arabia   71
 UAE            84
 Sources: National authorities and International Monetary Fund


_Reuters

The above table is from an article dated 1 June 2012. Scan the graphs below for images of break-even levels from May 2012 and December 2011. Notice that the estimated break-even levels tend to fluctuate. It is likely that most of those published levels are underestimates.

In Russia, for example, the most recent estimate for break-even price level is $117 per barrel. But Russian insiders estimate the true break-even level is closer to $150 a barrel -- particularly with Putin's ambitious new re-building schemes. 






Citibank expects that Russia will have a very turbulent next five years, given their estimate that Brent crude prices will likely settle close to $85 over that time period.

Oil producers are beginning to feel the future threat of peak demand for oil caused by multiple factors -- including unconventional liquid fuels -- breathing down their necks. For oil to sell in the coming markets, producers will have to price their product to be competitive.

For some quasi oil dictatorships such as Iran, Venezuela, and Russia, reduced revenues to support ambitious government spending could lead to intemperate, perhaps violent, actions, geared to force oil prices much higher. They will require a close watching.

Russia's belligerency is shared by and provides cover for its bad boy client states and putative allies, in Putin's shadow war against the west.

But if Russia can only get half the price for energy that it needs to support Putin's ambitious buildup, expect Russia to act through proxies to squeeze prices higher. The corruption of the FOPs (friends of Putin) is a constant. Capital flight out of Russia is increasing. Military spending on new generations of WMDs is likely to be funded, given Putin's determination to put more steel behind his threat. That means Russia's domestic human infrastructure will suffer.

THE MENDACIOUS TRAGI-COMEDY THAT IS OBAMA


PALESTINIAN ARABS IN WEST BANK CONVICT ARAFAT AIDE OF MASSIVE THEFT

A special anti-graft court set up in the West Bank city of Ramallah has convicted a former aide to Yasser Arafat, in absentia, of embezzling millions of dollars during Arafat's rule. Mohammed Rashid and two other businessmen were sentenced to 15 years behind bars and ordered to return 33.5 million euros in stolen funds, in the biggest case against corruption that has festered during the Palestinian Authority's 20-year history. Prosecutors told the court, which was set up by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas two years ago, that Rashid profitted from front companies and fled abroad with the money after Arafat's 2004 death.
THE PALESTINIAN ARAB "CAUSE" IS NOTHING MORE THAN AN EXTORTION RACKET RUN BY THUGS, THIEVES, LIARS, CHEATS, AND MURDEROUS GENOCIDAL MANIACS WHO JUST AS SOON STEAL FROM EACH OTHER AS THEY WOULD KILL AN "INFIDEL" OR MURDER THEIR OWN DAUGHTER TO "RESTORE FAMILY HONOR".

THAT ONE OF THESE THUGS - ABBAS - HAS CONVICTED ANOTHER OF THESE THUGS IS A JOKE.

ARAFAT EXTORTED AND STOLE BILLIONS, BUT THEY WORSHIP HIM. THEY HAVE EVEN ERECTED A MONUMENTAL TOMB IN SEEMING VIOLATION OF THE "TEACHINGS" OF MOHAMED - WHO HIMSELF HAS NO MONUMENT OR TOMB.



THE WHOLE DAMN LOT OF THEM ARE A FESTERING SORE INFECTING THE ENTIRE REGION.

OBAMA, WHY NOT ATTACK HOLLYWOOD FOR CHARGING TOO MUCH AND MAKING TOO MUCH?

AN OPEN LETTER  TO OBAMA:

MR. PRESIDENT;


FAMILIES USED TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO GO TO THE MOVIES.


BUT NOT ANYMORE.


TICKET PRICES ARE TOO EXPENSIVE.


DITTO THE REFRESHMENTS.


MEANWHILE, ACTORS LIKE CLOONEY AND PITT AND PRODUCERS LIKE SPIELBERG AND KATZENBERG RAKE IN MILLIONS AND MILLIONS AND MILLIONS.


IT'S SEEMS TO FLY IN THE FACE OF YOUR STATED POSITION WITH REGARD TO THE 1% GETTING MORE THAN THEIR FAIR SHARE WHILE THE MASSES SUFFER.


IF YOU MEAN WHAT YOU SAY, THEN YOU SHOULD ATTACK HOLLYWOOD AS MUCH OR MORE THAN YOU ATTACK WALL STREET AND MITT ROMNEY.





DITTO THE COST OF SEEING A SPORTS GAME: FAMILIES CAN'T AFFORD IT ANYMORE WHILE TEAM OWNERS AND BALLPLAYERS RAKE IN MILLIONS AND MILLIONS.


YOU'RE  SPORTS FAN, SO I KNOW YOU KNOW OF WHAT I SPEAK.






WILL YOU ATTACK BALLPLAYERS THE WAY YOU ATTACK BIG OIL AND WALL STREET AND MITT?


OR ARE YOU TOTALLY FULL OF SHIT?


I THINK MOST AMERICANS NOW KNOW THE ANSWER.

WHITE HOUSE EMAILS REVEAL OBAMA LIED AND SOLD HIS SOUL TO PASS OBAMACARE


EXCERPT: NYTIMES:
After weeks of quiet talks, drug industry lobbyists were growing nervous. If they were to cut a deal with the White House on overhauling health care, they needed to be sure President Obama would stop a proposal by his liberal allies intended to bring down medicine prices. 
  On June 3, 2009, one of the lobbyists e-mailed Nancy-Ann DeParle, the president’s top health care adviser. Ms. DeParle sent a message back reassuring the lobbyist. Although Mr. Obama was overseas, she wrote, she and other top officials had “made decision, based on how constructive you guys have been, to oppose importation on the bill.”  
Just like that, Mr. Obama’s staff abandoned his support for the reimportation of prescription medicines at lower prices and with it solidified a growing compact with an industry he had vilified on the campaign trail the year before. Central to Mr. Obama’s drive to overhaul the nation’s health care system was an unlikely collaboration with the pharmaceutical industry that forced unappealing trade-offs. 
  The e-mail exchange that day three years ago was among a cache of messages obtained from the industry and released in recent weeks by House Republicans — including a new batch put out on Friday morning detailing the industry’s advertising campaign in favor of Mr. Obama’s proposal. The broad contours of the president’s dealings with the drug industry were known in 2009 but the newly public e-mails open a window into the compromises underlying a health care overhaul now awaiting the judgment of the Supreme Court. 
  Mr. Obama’s deal-making in 2009 represented a pivotal moment in his young presidency, a juncture where the heady idealism of the campaign trail collided with the messy reality of Washington policymaking. A president who had promised to air negotiations on C-Span cut a closed-door deal with the powerful pharmaceutical lobby, signifying to some disillusioned liberal supporters a loss of innocence, or perhaps even the triumph of cynicism. 
  But if it was a Faustian bargain for the president, it was one he deemed necessary to forestall industry opposition that had thwarted efforts to cover the uninsured for generations. Without the deal, in which the industry agreed to provide $80 billion for health reform in exchange for protection from policies that would cost more, Mr. Obama and Democratic allies calculated he might get nowhere.
“There was no way we had the votes in either the House or the Senate if PhRMA was opposed — period,” said a senior Democratic official involved in the talks, referring to the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, the drug industry trade group. 
Republicans see the deal as hypocritical. “He said it was going to be the most open and honest and transparent administration ever and lobbyists won’t be drafting the bills,” said Representative Michael C. Burgess of Texas, one of the Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee that is examining the deal. “Then when it came time, the door closed, the lobbyists came in and the bills were written.”
OBAMA LIED TO THE ELECTORATE AND OBAMA SOLD OUT.


OBAMA PASSED A LOUSY BILL - NO ONE REALLY LIKES - USING OLD-FASHIONED BACKROOM DEALS IN SMOKE-FILLED ROOMS.


HE SHOULD HAVE FOCUSED ON GROWING THE ECONOMY.


BUT AFTER HE PASSED HUMONGOUS HIS PORK-LADEN BOONDOGGLE - THE SO-CALLED "STIMULUS" - HE THOUGHT THE ECONOMY AND HIS PALS WERE TAKEN CARE OF. 


OBAMA IS NOT WORTHY OF THE POST HE NOW HOLDS.


IF HE WON'T RESIGN, THEN HE HAS TO BE DEFEATED.


VOTE ACCORDINGLY. VOTE ROMNEY.

EITHER HE'S DUMB, OR ON DRUGS, OR SO FAR TO THE LEFT HIS VISION IS DISTORTED - EITHER WAY:OBAMA DOESN'T GET IT!

OBAMA IS A MISERABLE FAILURE:

WHO WROTE THIS, KARL MARX OR THE UNITED NATIONS?

"Land ... cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market.... Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice; if unchecked, it may become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation of development schemes."
IF YOU GUESSED KARL MARX YOU ARE WRONG.

THE UN DID.

UPDATE: HERE'S WHY PEOPLE LIKE THOSE RUNNING THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND THE UN FAVOR SOCIALISM:


THEY BELIEVE EMPOWERING POLITICIANS, LOBBYISTS AND BUREAUCRATS TO DECIDE WHO DESERVES WHAT IS SOMEHOW MORE MORAL THAN ALLOWING PEOPLE TO KEEP WHAT THEY EARN.





'U.N. ME" TELLS WHAT THE LEFT DOESN'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THEM

Jonathan Tobin's reviewed the new documentary called U.N. Me by Ami Horowitz and Matthew Grof that gives some insight to what the alleged defender of the world is really like, which is little more than a corrupt political outfit:
Those who view his films as compendiums of distorted propaganda may rightly despise Michael Moore, but there’s no denying that his work re-popularized the documentary as an independent art form while effectively promoting his views. Moore and others who followed in his footsteps, such as Morgan Spurlock, whose “Super Size Me” lambasted the fast food industry, created a popular template in which the filmmaker’s personal narrative, interspersed with humor and relentless attempts to expose and thereby belittle the objects of their scorn, set the standard for the genre. But the question for viewers of a newly released film that was created in the spirit of “Roger and Me, ” “Bowling for Columbine” or “Super Size Me” is whether there is an audience for this sort of work if the subject matter is not one that liberals and leftists love to hate.

In “U.N. Me,” Ami Horowitz and Matthew Grof have done just that. Horowitz, the on-screen personality and narrator, takes his audience on an international tour intended to show that the United Nations is a corrupt talking shop that has made a mockery of the ideals that it was created to promote. As “U.N. Me” makes clear, the world body has criminal peacekeepers who fail to protect the innocent, purposely-blind nuclear inspectors, thieves in charge of food programs, and has a Human Rights Council that is a forum for tyrants and murderers.
There is a minor drawback to the film as well, that it doesn't really touch upon the UN's obsession with Israel:
To get past the prejudices of filmgoers predisposed to dismiss criticism of the U.N., Horowitz concentrates his fire on the causes that most appeal to liberal sensibilities, such as the genocide in Darfur. That means the number one object of U.N. perfidy — the state of Israel — is conspicuous by its absence in the film. Though so much of what is wrong about the U.N. is illustrated by the widespread anti-Semitism given a hearing in its halls and the double standard by which the democratic State of Israel is subjected to most of the resolutions adopted by the institution, the Jewish state is mentioned only in passing throughout “U.N. Me.” Though this may disappoint some viewers, it’s not a mistake. While it eliminates many of the most egregious instances of U.N. misbehavior, the tactic also allows Horowitz to make his point about its failures without miring his narrative in the rhetorical battlefield of the Middle East conflict.

But even without a discussion of the U.N.’s unfair obsession with Israel, there is more than enough scandalous material to fill several hours, let alone the 90 minutes of “U.N. Me.”
I suppose so, though I'd still like to see that particular subject get a serious look in a documentary like this. In fact, this makes me think of how a great documentary could be made of the European Union's own corruption and pretentious platforms, which also has an obsession with Israel at the expense of Islamofascism, and even Britain's own horrific politics and cultural mindset. If a documentarian were to develop something like that, it could make the perfect mirror for Britain to look into at just how awful they really are.

LEADING CULPRIT IN ANTI-SEMITIC ATTACK IN LYON TURNS HIMSELF IN

I watched some TV news telling that there's 5 in custody, and here's some news in text in an update to this item:
Israel Radio reported late Thursday that the lead suspect in last weekend’s anti-Semitic attacks in Lyon, France has turned himself in to police.

The suspect and 10 others attacked three people as they left the Beit Menachem Jewish school on Saturday night. [...]

France's national agency tasked with fighting anti-Semitism said the attackers were likely of North African extraction. The agency said the attackers shouted anti-Semitic insults at the victims before attacking them.

Five of the suspected assailants are now in police custody.
But are they going to take more serious steps to ensure security for Jewish and non-Jewish residents alike, which includes installing security cameras and assigning units ready to combat gangs?

SHAUL MOFAZ AGREED TO SUPPORT BUILDING PROJECT FOR KIRYAT ARBA

It clearly won't win him approval from the left, but he was willing to do something right here:
Kadima leader Shaul Mofaz should have prevented Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu from initiating West Bank building projects, especially in Kiryat Arba, which is not part of the settlement blocs near the Green Line, MKs in the party said Thursday.

When the plan to build 851 housing units in the West Bank was announced Wednesday night, Mofaz objected to the plan to build in Kiryat Arba while acquiescing to build in the blocs. Netanyahu initially removed Kiryat Arba from the list of building projects at Mofaz’s request, but the prime minister put it back on the list later that night after protests from the Right.

Mofaz faced criticism for not torpedoing the move not only from rebel MKs who want to leave Kadima and those who backed Mofaz’s rival Tzipi Livni in the March 27 leadership race but also from legislators who backed him.

“I support Mofaz but his silence on Kiryat Arba is very grave,” MK Shai Hermesh said.

“Kadima should have been criticizing this decision all day. Instead of getting credit as a moderate prime minister for abiding by the court’s decision on the Ulpana outpost, by building in Kiryat Arba, Bibi is once again absorbing international criticism on an issue that not only does the international community oppose but also his coalition partners.”
He is not obligated to please the "international" community, whatever that means, and should not have to please the leftist dominated supreme court in Israel either. It's good to see common sense prevailed and Netanyahu restored Kiryat Arba's project.

The Israeli government estimates the storm will pass on this issue overseas as well:
The government announced authorization of 851 new homes in the settlements despite an anticipated wave of international condemnations because it believes that – as in previous instances – the storm will pass, officials said on Thursday.

The officials spoke even as the US, France and UN already slammed the decision to build the new housing units. [...]

We had no illusions that the international community was going to embrace the move,” one official said.
Could they be more specific and make clear that it's mostly the political society outside of Israel that would be so hostile? In any case, the overseas politicians most certainly should get over it and start worrying about more important things, which alas, they're unlikely to do.

BARACK LIED: MICHELLE WENT DOWN ALL THE WAY ON ELLEN DEGENERES!

OBAMA RECENTLY TOLD A CLIQUE OF CHIC DEGENERATI IN HOLLYWOOD A DIRTY DOUBLE-ENTENDRE ABOUT HIS WIFE MICHELLE:

Talking to some 600 supporters at the event, the 50-year-old politician referred to Ellen DeGeneres, the stand-up comedian, television host and a lesbian.  
“I want to thank my wonderful friend who accepts a little bit of teasing about Michelle beating her in push-ups but I think she claims Michelle didn’t go all the way down,” the Daily Mail quoted him as saying.  
According to the Los Angeles Times, the crowd erupted into a “bawdy laughter.”
LET'S LOOK AT THE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE:




IT LOOKS LIKE TO ME MICHELLE OBAMA DID GO ALL THE WAY DOWN ON ELLEN DEGENERES - AND ELLEN IS SMILING!

ARAB FATHER SUSPECTED OF MURDERING HIS SON

He's also given some telling signs he's the culprit in what you might call the honor murder of a male:
A man suspected of brutally murdering his ten-year-old son in an olive grove was ordered to remain in custody by a Ramle Magistrate's Court on Thursday as the police's murder investigation continues.

Muhammad Sarsur, of Kafr Kasim, was arrested this week by homicide detectives from the police central district after becoming the prime suspect in the murder of his ten-year-old son, Anas, whose body was found near the family home with severe injury marks.

"We have attributed the suspicion of murder to him [the father,] the police representative told the Ramle Magistrate's Court during the remand hearing.

The representative refused to discuss the alleged motive for the slaying, or detail the evidence, but said enough had been amassed by police to support the suspicions against the father.

The representative said the suspect's home had been intensively searched, as well as the suspect's cell phone. Police were waiting for forensic results from an autopsy carried out on the boy's body, he added.

During police questioning in recent days, the father was asked why he did not cry over his son's violent death, according to Sarsur's attorney Anwar Fareej, who slammed the question as illegitimate.

Fareej, said it was "unfeasible that someone who was a good father, who cared and worried for his child, would do something like this." He also said police removed knives from the homes of neighbors to analyze them. The attorney slammed police for the slow pace of the investigation. Ramle Magistrate Judge David Shoham rejected Fareej's request for the suspect to be released from custody, but also did not fully comply with the police's request to keep Sarsur in custody for ten days, extending his remand by only a week instead.

Earlier this week, Sarsur's brother, Muhammad, told The Jerusalem Post, “The family has suffered two murders; first Anas was murdered and now a second time when police arrested Muhammad." The boy's body was found over the weekend after he was reported missing by his father.
The lawyer's defense is pathetic. If the father sheds no tears, that in itself tells something's wrong.

EPSTEIN DEMOLISHES THE LEFT'S ANTI-"CITIZENS UNTIED" POSITION

THE LEFT IS INCORRECTLY BLAMING BARRETT'S/OBAMA'S LOSS IN WISCONSIN ON MONEY AND CITIZEN'S UNTIED, AS IF THE SCOTUS DECISION "OPENED THE FLOODGATES" FOR THE KOCH BROTHERS AND EVIL "BIG CORPORATIONS".


UPDATE: ATTACKING CITIZEN'S UNITED IS THEIR ALL-PURPOSE EXCUSE.

THEY ARE WRONG ON THE FACTS - AND ON PRINCIPLE.

FACT: THE LEFT WASN'T OUTSPENT BY 8-1 OR 7-1 OR EVEN 2-1, AS THEY CLAIM.

AND THE LEFT IS WRONG IN PRINCIPLE TO BLAME THE RECENT CITIZEN'S UNITED DECISION, AND SUPER-PACS.

HERE'S AN EXCERPT FROM A MUST READ ESSAY BY ONE OF THE SMARTEST MEN IN THE WORLD, RICHARD EPSTEIN. WHO IS HE? HERE:
Richard A. Epstein, the Peter and Kirsten Bedford Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, is the Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law, New York University Law School, and a senior lecturer at the University of Chicago. His areas of expertise include constitutional law, intellectual property, and property rights. His most recent books are Design for Liberty: Private Property, Public Administration, and the Rule of Law (2011), The Case against the Employee Free Choice Act (Hoover Press, 2009) and Supreme Neglect: How to Revive the Constitutional Protection for Private Property (Oxford Press, 2008).
EPSTEIN (RESPONDING TO LEFTIST JEFFREY TOOBIN'S ARTICLE IN THE NEW YORKER):
The narrow issue in Citizens United was whether Hillary: The Movie, a 90-minute attack documentary, counted as “electioneering communication” that could be banned from running within 30 days of the election. 
The larger constitutional issues would not disappear if Citizens United only handed down a narrow decision that the McCain-Feingold Act did not apply to that movie. The next case down the road would be sure to raise the same overarching issues. 
It is therefore incumbent on Toobin to explain why the general guarantee that Congress shall “make no law abridging the freedom of speech” does not apply to political speech in the run up to a national election. 
Clearly, it makes no sense to exclude corporations systematically from the First Amendment simply because corporations, whether or not they are persons, are not mentioned in the constitutional text. 
After all, the First Amendment doesn’t refer to citizens either. 
But the logic for bringing corporations under its protection parallels those used in connection with the Fourteenth Amendment. 
Does Toobin really think that the New Yorker, as part of the press, could be somehow prevented from publishing because it is a corporation bereft of any First Amendment protection? No: The magazine did not lose the protections of the First Amendment when its partners decide to incorporate it. 
So why are progressives so uneasy about the case? 
It is not because the decision, on its face, favors one side in the political struggles over another. Nor does it attempt to censor some political viewpoints while allowing others to be advanced with impunity.
HERE'S WHY:

THE LEFT IS  ENTIRELY FOCUSED ON GAINING POWER TO REDISTRIBUTE WEALTH TO ITS FACTIONS UNDER THE GUISE OF "ECONOMIC JUSTICE" - (AS IF EMPOWERING POLITICIANS, LOBBYISTS AND BUREAUCRATS TO DECIDE WHO DESERVES WHAT WAS SOMEHOW MORE MORAL THAN ALLOWING PEOPLE TO KEEP WHAT THEY EARNED!).


OTHER THAN THAT, THE LEFT IS ENTIRELY UNPRINCIPLED AND OPPOSES OR FAVORS THINGS ONLY ON A SHORT TERM/AD HOC BASIS, AND THEREFORE THEY CAN SUBORDINATE ANYTHING TO ACHIEVE POWER AND SERVE THE FACTIONS THAT COMPRISE THEIR BASE.

EVEN THE TRUTH.

VOTE ACCORDINGLY. VOTE ROMNEY.

PHOTOS REVEAL CLIMATE CHANGE ON MARS - CAUSED BY CHANGES IN THE AXIS OF ROTATION, NOT MAN-MADE CO2


ESA announced on Thursday that Mars Express has taken images of a crater on Mars which may show evidence that the planet underwent fluctuations in its climate due to changes in its rotation axis.  
ESA’s spacecraft used its high-resolution stereo camera at the Arabia Terra region of Mars on June 19, 2011 to image the Danielson and Kalocsa craters. Danielson crater is filled with layered sediments, and within the crater are peculiarly layered buttes, which are known as yardangs. Yardangs are hills carved from bedrock or any consolidated or semi-consolidated material by abrasive dust and sand particles carried in the wind. These structures are seen on Earth in desert regions, with examples in North Africa, Central Asia and Arizona. 
ESA believes the sediments in Danielson crater were cemented by water, maybe from an ancient reservoir. Scientists theorize that strong north-northeasterly winds both deposited the original sediments and then caused their subsequent erosion in a drier period later on in Martian history. The 18.50 mile-long field of dunes can be seen bisecting the yardangs and is thought to have formed at a later epoch, according to ESA. Danielson’s crater floor shows evidence for a series of alternating sedimentary layers with uniform thickness and separation. 
Some scientists believe this indicates periodic fluctuations in the climate of Mars, which is triggered by regular changes in the planet’s axis of rotation.

ANNE FRANK AND HER FAMILY WERE DENIED ENTRANCE TO THE US

Daled Amos has some news on a documentary series called They Spoke Out from Disney Educational Productions that tells a fact that may not be widely known about the Dutch-Jewish girl and her family:
Researchers recently discovered that before Anne Frank and her family went into hiding in the infamous attic in Amsterdam, the Franks sought permission to immigrate to America. "Walls of Paper" follows the desperate attempts by Anne's parents to overcome the harsh bureaucratic obstacles set up by the Roosevelt administration to discourage foreigners from coming to the United States. This episode sheds light on a deeply divided America, where former First Lady Grace Coolidge and other humanitarians lobbied for legislation to grant haven to German Jewish refugee children such as Anne, while opponents of immigration preyed on the public's fears and prejudice in order to keep America's doors closed.
The episode called Walls of Paper can be viewed here. It certainly doesn't speak well of Roosevelt's own history.

SENIOR CHINESE BANKER: EURO-ZONE IS STILL MORE LIKELY TO COLLAPSE

An internal U.N. security report says the Kenya police force has listed seven buildings, including the headquarters of the revenue authority, as being under immediate threat of a terror attack from an al-Qaida-linked militant group. 
Somalia's al-Shabab militant group last week threatened to attack Kenya's skyscrapers within two weeks, a warning that followed a bomb attack in Nairobi's city center which killed one person and injured 32 others. It was the third time al-Shabab has threatened to bomb Kenya after the country sent it troops into Somalia to pursue the militants in October.
AL SHABAB'S EFFORTS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH  THE BUSHHCHENEYHALLIBURTON1%LIKDUDNIKNEOOCONS.

IT'S THE ISLAM, STUPID!

INSANE: DEMOCRATS BLAME EUROPE'S FISCAL AND ECONOMIC WOES ON AUSTERITY

NYTIMES: In American politics, being European is bad again. But these days, President Obama and the Democrats, not the Republicans, are holding up their allies across the Atlantic as the poster children for bad policies. 
Former President Bill Clinton this week accused Congressional Republicans of embracing policies of “austerity and unemployment” that have caused protests throughout the euro zone. 
In a new line of attack, top Democrats are arguing that Mitt Romney and the Republicans, with their focus on spending cuts, are following Europe’s austerity-first example, to dismal effect so far: Greece over the edge; Italy, Spain, Portugal on the edge; Britain in recession; and the United States suffering through a needlessly weak recovery because of government cuts. 
Former President Bill Clinton offered the clearest version of the case on Monday night, when, introducing Mr. Obama at a fund-raiser in New York, he listed the steps that Mr. Obama had taken to spur the economy, and then asked: “Why aren’t things roaring along now? Because Europe is in trouble and because the Republican Congress has adopted the European economic policy.”
"CLEAREST VERSION"?!?!?! WTF?

THIS IS FACTUALLY WRONG AND FREAKIN' INSANE.

THE DEFICITS AND SOVEREIGN DEBT ARE THE ROOT CAUSE OF EUROPE'S WOES AND MORE DEFICIT SPENDING WON'T CURE EUROPE; IT WILL KILL EUROPE.

GERMANY PROVES IT . ESTONIA PROVES IT. WISCONSIN PROVES IT. OHIO AND INDIANA PROVE IT.

WHAT EUROPE AND THE USA MUST DO IS CUT GOVERNMENT SPENDING, CUT TAXES AND CUT ALL CO2PHOBIC REGULATIONS AND OPEN UP ENERGY EXPLORATION EVERYWHERE.

LOWERING REGULATIONS, TAXES AND THE COST OF ENERGY WILL IMMEDIATELY LEAD TO GROWTH.

EUROPE DID NOT HAVE BUSH TAX CUTS OR "UNFUNDED WARS" OR "RUNAWAY DEFENSE SPENDING" EITHER; IT'S THE SOCIALISTIC SPENDING THAT'S KILLING EUROPE.

LEFT-WING SOCIALISTIC SPENDING AND LEFT-WING GLOBAL WARMING POLICIES MUST BE TERMINATED IF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY IS GOING TO AVOID TOTAL GLOBAL DEPRESSION AND GROWTH RESTORED.

VOTE ACCORDINGLY. VOTE ROMNEY.

SHARPTON AND MSDNC: SCHMUCKS, LIES AND VIDEOTAPE


Sharpton: Republicans Cheated, Stole Wisconsin Election


HOW DO YOU SPELL OBAMAPOCALYPSE? W-I-S-C-O-N-S-I-N!


FREUD MAKES A FREUDIAN SLIP


WHEN OBAMA OUTSPENT MCCAIN BY 8-1, THE LEFT LOVED IT, BUT NOW THAT THE SHOE IS ON THE OTHER FOOT...

THE LEFT SAYS IT'S THE END OF DEMOCRACY.

THEY CAN GO SHOVE IT UP THEIR BARACKING OBAMAHOLE.


THE REGULATION BILL WAS DEFEATED. BUT IS THERE A SILVER LINING?

So Netanyahu managed to get the majority he wanted to defeat the bill. And that's very sad. That said, he has on the positive side authorized 300 more houses:
JERUSALEM - (AP) -- Israel's prime minister on Wednesday ordered construction of 300 new homes in a West Bank settlement, a move aimed at placating settler anger over the planned demolition of an illegally built outpost nearby.

The decision infuriated the Palestinians, who have refused to conduct peace talks while Israel expands its settlements on occupied land. It also risked drawing an international backlash.
It's just like the AP to say that. While that is something to appreciate, it's still no excuse for Netanyahu's offensive stance against the ministers who supported the bill, who didn't help themselves by abstaining in the end.

And the sad part is that if he's going to go through with the demolition of those 5 houses, he will lead to resentment, if the following news tells anything:
The headquarters for former Yesha Council chairman and Jewish Home leadership candidate Naftali Bennet launch a "leave the Likud" application on Wednesday.

The new application, established under the guidance of attorneys and experts, is located on the "Israelis" website "Israelis," and includes a feature that allows users to select "I want to stop the outgoing Likud."

Doing so downloads a special form with instructions for how to cancel membership in the Likud party.

The system provides a parallel feature for joining Jewish Home, but does not require it.

Bennett's staff explained, "The number of requests we receive from people who want to leave the Likud has increased in recent days. Now it is simple, and we expect a mass exodus of Likud voters – especially since the regulatory law was voted down."

"Now they also have simple and easy solution," they added.

Bennett himself said "The Likud's historic role ended today when it ceased to represent the nationalist camp. Thousands in the Likud feel it is not their home, and that it is time to established a real nationalist alternative."
Even there, they're going to have to bear in mind that if they don't come up with a constructive campaign that focuses clearly on the left and avoids overly attacking the Likud/Netanyahu, they could easily sabotage their better chances of success in next year's election. If they want to be an alternative, they could help themselves by adding more issues to their campaign platform, including finance and technology, for example. There's more in here about how Zevulun Orlev's asked his party to leave the government after the bill failed.

Update: this article says that there'll be at least 551 housing units approved.

Update 2: in this article, they tell that a special committee has been formed for authorizing new neighborhoods without a full cabinet decision. However, they say that Ehud Barak may be part of it. In that case, I'm not sure if this'll work out well.

FDR's PRAYER - D-DAY - JUNE 6, 1944


My Fellow Americans: 
Last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our Allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus far. And so, in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer: 
Almighty God: 
Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity. 
Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith. 
They will need Thy blessings. 
Their road will be long and hard. For the enemy is strong. He may hurl back our forces. Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again; and we know that by Thy grace, and by the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph. They will be sore tried, by night and by day, without rest -- until the victory is won. The darkness will be rent by noise and flame. Men's souls will be shaken with the violences of war. For these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace. They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate. 
They fight to let justice arise, and tolerance and goodwill among all Thy people. They yearn but for the end of battle, for their return to the haven of home. 
Some will never return. 
Embrace these, Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom. 
And for us at home -- fathers, mothers, children, wives, sisters, and brothers of brave men overseas, whose thoughts and prayers are ever with them -- help us, Almighty God, to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith in Thee in this hour of great sacrifice. 
Many people have urged that I call the nation into a single day of special prayer. But because the road is long and the desire is great, I ask that our people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer. 
As we rise to each new day, and again when each day is spent, let words of prayer be on our lips, invoking Thy help to our efforts. 
Give us strength, too -- strength in our daily tasks, to redouble the contributions we make in the physical and the material support of our armed forces. And let our hearts be stout, to wait out the long travail, to bear sorrows that may come, to impart our courage unto our sons wheresoever they may be. 
And, O Lord, give us faith. Give us faith in Thee; faith in our sons; faith in each other; faith in our united crusade. 
Let not the keeness of our spirit ever be dulled. Let not the impacts of temporary events, of temporal matters of but fleeting moment -- let not these deter us in our unconquerable purpose. 
With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy. 
Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogances. Lead us to the saving of our country, and with our sister nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace -- a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men. And a peace that will let all of men live in freedom, reaping the just rewards of their honest toil. 
Thy will be done, Almighty God. 
Amen. 
President Franklin D. Roosevelt - June 6, 1944

REMEMBER D-DAY: JUNE 6, 1944

The following video was made by an 8th grader for a school project:


Two of my cousins served that day; one cousin was in the Army and the other in the Navy — at Omaha Beach, I believe.

Both men, in their late teens and early twenties respectively, came home physically whole, but they were never again whole psychologically. They refused to speak about what they experienced there, but we all knew that what they did and saw was horrible because they had nightmares for the rest of their lives. Nonetheless, they were among two of the staunchest patriots I have ever known, and they often said, "No regrets!" [about serving].

Both of my cousins died young: one at age 39 and the other at age 44.

THE TIDE HAS TURNED: WALKER WINS IN WISCONSIN AND PUBLIC UNIONS LOSE THERE - AND IN CALIFORNIA!

It wasn't just formerly liberal Wisconsin that said enough to the pubic sector worker, voters in two cities in California said the same thing.

The tide has turned.

WHAT COUNTRY DOES FOX NEWS LEAVE OFF THE MAP IN THIS REPORT?


The answer is Israel. I'm very proud of the Breitbart network for highlighting this offensive little trick by FOX, which, no matter what you think of their questionable conservative leanings, should not be ignored when they pull an act like this that's hostile to Israel.

NETANYAHU'S THREAT TO FIRE MINISTERS WHO SUPPORT REGULATION BILL SETS POOR EXAMPLE

Because some ministers support the bill, Netanyahu is now risking his image by threatening to fire them, which means some may absent themselves from the vote, or even quit the coalition altogether.

It's a shame that he's going out of his in desperation to please outside sources hostile to Israel, to say nothing of setting a very bad example for a politician by clamping down on their democratic right to choose where they stand. He's also causing some valid worries of another "disengagement" taking place. And above all, I would argue that long-term, there is a possibility that it could damage his chances in the next election the coming year.

Update: here's news about a rally in favor of the legislation that took place.

THE WISCONSIN RECALL ELECTION GIVES OBAMA AND AXELROD A TREMENDOUS EDGE IN NOVEMBER: NOW THE DEMOCRATS KNOW EXACTLY HOW MANY VOTES TO STUFF INTO THE BALLOTS TO DEFEAT ROMNEY!


JUST SAYING...

MESSAGE FROM WISCONSIN: Tea Party to Socialists: "In your face!"




VIA NICE DEB - WHO HAS MORE.


HOFT HAS MORE AND A GREAT VIDEO. 

WISCONSIN EXIT POLLS VASTLY UNDER-ESTIMATED THE RIGHT!

AND THAT MEANS OBAMA WOULD TODAY LOSE WISCONSIN TO ROMNEY!

YEAH BABY!

SEAN TRENDE AGREES.

WALKER DEFEATS SEIU, NEA AND AFSCME

AWESOME!


HAT TIP IOTW.

IS ZAWAHIRI A MOLE?

JUST ASKING ON ACCOUNT OF THE FACT THAT HIS FORMER BOSS OSAMA IS DEAD, AND HIS RIVAL THE NEW NUMBER TWO IS NOW DEAD.

CUI BONO?

I THINK WE OUGHT TO SPREAD THIS RUMOR AROUND THE JIHADI WEBSITES.

:)


THE BRITISH MONARCHY WORKS

GOV:
... the cost of the Royal Family. 
£40m a year = 66p per person per year (roughly $1). 
That cost includes all the costs of state and similar visits which would, without a Royal Family, have to be hosted by a President. 
The Italian President alone costs every Italian £1.24 a year. Our 66p covers many Royals, so I reckon we get value and without corruption. 
Some years ago the Queen “temporarily” surrendered all Crown Estates to the Government in return for the “Civil List” which is part of the £40m. The Government makes £200m a year from the Crown Estates, so are well in profit. Quite apart from the estimated £400m to £1b generated to the country from “Royal-related” tourism. 
UK aid to India is, at £280m a year, seven times as much as the cost of the Royal family, and costing every inhabitant of the UK £4.90 a year. Didn’t win us an order for fighter jets, though — that went to the French. I know what I get for my 66p a year; I see no return from the £4.90 to India. 
The very idea of a politician as Head of State, someone like Blair, is abhorrent to me. Give me the political neutrality of Her Majesty any day. 
I AGREE.

RTWT.

GOD BLESS THE QUEEN.

ESTONIA GREW 7% LAST YEAR - DUE TO... AUSTERITY

Sixteen months after it joined the struggling currency bloc, Estonia is booming. The economy grew 7.6 percent last year, five times the euro-zone average. 
Estonia is the only euro-zone country with a budget surplus. National debt is just 6 percent of GDP, compared to 81 percent in virtuous Germany, or 165 percent in Greece. 
Shoppers throng Nordic design shops and cool new restaurants in Tallinn, the medieval capital, and cutting-edge tech firms complain they can’t find people to fill their job vacancies. 
It all seems a long way from the gloom elsewhere in Europe. 
Estonia’s achievement is all the more remarkable when you consider that it was one of the countries hardest hit by the global financial crisis. In 2008-2009, its economy shrank by 18 percent. That’s a bigger contraction than Greece has suffered over the past five years. How did they bounce back? “I can answer in one word: austerity. Austerity, austerity, austerity,” says Peeter Koppel, investment strategist at the SEB Bank. After three years of painful government belt-tightening, that’s not exactly the message that Europeans further south want to hear.
ALL OF EUROPE NEEDS IT.

WHAT CREATED THE EUROPEAN SOVEREIGN DEBT DEBACLE WAS EXCESSIVE DEFICIT SPENDING - MOSTLY ON SOCIALISTIC PROGRAMS, AFTER ALL, THEY DIDN'T HAVE TWO "UNFUNDED " WARS OR THE BUSH TAX CUTS.

INCREASING DEFICIT SPENDING WON'T HELP.

IT DIDN'T HELP ESTONIA OR ICELAND .

EUROPE NEEDS IT. WE DO, TOO.

VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

VOTE ROMNEY.


HERE'S WHY OBAMA DIDN'T VISIT WISCONSIN: HIS COMRADES ARE LITERALLY TRYING TO STEAL THE ELECTION WTH FRAUD AND THEY DON'T WANT HIS FINGERPRINTS ON IT

JUST SAYING... ON ACCOUNT OF THE FACT THAT HIS UNION GOONS PROBABLY HAVE ADDED ABUT HUNDRED THOUSAND FRAUDULENT VOTERS - LIKE THIS ONE.

FRAUD IS THE ONLY REASON WHY I M WORRIED ABOUT THIS ELECTION.

AND THE ONE THIS NOVEMBER.

WHY NOT, OBAMA'S PALS AHMADINEJAD AND PUTIN DID IT.


PASS THE BUCK BARACK


OBAMA ONLY TAKES FULL RESPONSIBILITY 
FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S SUCCESSES.


ACCORDING TO OBAMA, 
ALL THE PROBLEMS WE NOW FACE 
ARE THE FAULT OF BUSH 
AND THE GOP IN CONGRESS.

THAT'S NOT LEADERSHIP.

VOTE ACCORDINGLY. VOTE ROMNEY.


OBAMA'S TWO OCTOBER SURPIRSES

SURPRISE #1: DUMPING BIDEN

SURPRISE #2: ATTACKING IRAN


UPDATE:

  • The Hillary announcement would be best timed to come right after Mitt's Veep announcement.
  • And the Iran attack would have to come before the conventions.


WHY DO I FEEL HE WILL DO THESE 2 THINGS?

SIMPLE: HE WILL DO ANYTHING TO WIN AND ACHIEVE HIS MOST IMPORTANT GOAL: "TRANSFORMING" AMERICA.

ALSO: FIRING JOE AND HIRING HILLARY WILL MEAN OBAMA CAN SLEEP LATER: SHE'LL TAKE THOSE PRETTY DARN FREQUENT 3AM PHONE CALLS!

BLOOMBERG: ARREST PEOPLE WHO USE SODA POP, BUT NOT POT

CRIMINALIZE SUGARY SOFT DRINKS IN CONTAINERS LARGER THAN 16 OUNCES, BUT ESSENTIALLY LEGALIZE POT. 

UPSIDE DOWN. INSANITY. LEFTIST. REDUNDANT.

WTF: JIM MESSINA'S LIPS!?!?! (POLL)

THIS IS HOW OBAMA CAMPAIGN MANAGER JIM MESSINA APPEARS IN A NEW OBAMA CAMPAIGN VIDEO:



WHY ARE HIS LIPS SO DARK?

IS HE WEARING LIPSTICK - OR DID HE JUST LEAVE THE OVAL OFFICE?

OR ... IS THAT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE CONSTANTLY LYING THROUGH YOUR TEETH?

POLL:


BUDDHISTS KILL 9 MUSLIMS

YEAH: BUDDHISTS: BBC
Buddhist residents in western Burma have killed at least nine Muslims as sectarian tension worsens in the region, police say. 
Reports say a crowd attacked a bus in Rakhine province after blaming some of the passengers for the gang rape and murder of a Buddhist woman.
THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GOP OR CHENEY OR BIBI AND THE LIKUD OR THE 1%.




THE GANG RAPE WAS JIHAD, (AS IS COMMON IN BRITAIN AND NORWAY AND SWEDEN AND ELSEWHERE LIKE BESLAN) - THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GOP OR CHENEY OR BIBI AND THE LIKUD OR THE 1% AND THE KILLINGS WERE COUNTER-JIHAD.






ONLY MUSLIMS COULD TURN BUDDHISTS IN RAMPAGING REVENGING KILLERS.


AND ANOTHER THING:


THIS IS JUST MORE PROOF THAT EVERYWHERE ISLAM COMES INTO CONTACT WITH NON-ISLAM THERE IS TROUBLE.

SHAS SPIRITUAL LEADER ORDERS THEM TO SUPPORT REGULATION LAW

Another positive development in the Ulpana saga:
The Sephardic Shas party has been ordered by its spiritual leader, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, to vote Wednesday for the Regulation Law.

Shas Chairman Eli Yishai told Knesset faction members that if it appeared that he would be fired as Interior Minister were he to be in conflict with the government's opposition to the law, he would consult again with the rabbi.

Earlier, Shas informed Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu that he would find no cooperation if he enforced coalition discipline and ordered members to oppose the law.
Well they'd better remain true to the principle they've stated if they want to maintain credibility. Rav Ovadia's done the right thing, and they should not be putting government jobs above morale. Their loyalty to the land of Israel must come first.

3 ITEMS


NYC LIBERALS I KNOW THINK ITEMS A & B ARE EQUIVALENT AND NOT RELATED TO ITEM C.

AVIGDOR LIEBERMAN WILL SUPPORT REGULATION LAW

The foreign minister's getting behind the supporters of the Ulpana buildings:
Foreign Minister and Head of Yisrael Beytenu Avigdor Lieberman threw his considerable political weight into the debate over Givat HaUlpana Monday, saying he would back the Regulation Bill that would legalize the neighborhood.

Lieberman spoke at the annual CPAs' conference in Eilat and was quoted by Maariv/NRG.

"If there is no choice, I will have to support the Regulation Bill," he said. "I ask myself if there was an obligation to decide to evacuate the five buildings. The human consideration should also enter the picture when we discuss the future of the residents."

"One must understand that these people are the salt of the earth," said Lieberman of the residents facing expulsion. "Residents who received mortgages from the state and the state connected them to the electricity and water grids. They all work and pay taxes."

The exaggerated focus on the legal problems facing the neighborhood is "grotesque," the minister said. "It shows the extent to which we sometimes live within ourselves without looking at the world. With all that is going on around us we deal with the question of 'sawing off' or not sawing off five buildings. We should know how to look at things in proportion."
On top of all that, there's one more thing that should be noted about cases like this: if there's anyone Netanyahu shouldn't be going miles out of his way to please, it's foreign politicians with hostile viewpoints to Israel. On the other hand, where he could make an impact is if he were to let European citizens concerned about Islamofascism know that they deserve better.

NETANYAHU'S FAILURE TO SUPPORT ULPANA MIGHT COST HIM NEXT ELECTION

The prime minister has not been very honest in his support of the Ulpana neighborhood, which is said he's willing to demolish by July 1, and now it's leading to more opposition:
Right-wing activists plan to set out on a two-day march to Jerusalem Monday to protest governmental plans to demolish five apartment buildings in the Ulpana outpost by July 1.

Another 24 activists have embarked on a hunger strike.

The High Court of Justice last month mandated the demolition of the structures, which house 30 families, because they were built without permits on private Palestinian property.

Right-wing activists have called on ministers to prevent the demolition by supporting two bills – by MKs Ya’acov Katz (National Union) and Zevulun Orlev (Habayit Hayehudi) – that would retroactively legalize unauthorized West Bank Jewish construction, such as the Ulpana homes.

Katz and Orlev are bringing their bills to the Knesset plenum Wednesday for a preliminary reading. But the bills can only pass with ministerial support.

To date, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has refused to support legislation and instead spoke with Likud ministers Sunday at their weekly meeting about a plan to relocate the Ulpana buildings to an authorized tract of land in the Beit El settlement.

He told the ministers that he was waiting for a response from Attorney-General Yehuda Weinstein, who he has charged with checking the legality of the plan.

Weinstein is expected to respond to the prime minister in the next few days.

Netanyahu also asked him to examine the impact the Ulpana demolition would have on the ability of left-wing groups, such as Peace Now and Yesh Din, to continue to use litigation to force the state to demolish West Bank Jewish homes.

Katz has estimated that there are some 9,000 West Bank Jewish homes that lack proper permits.

Netanyahu told the ministers that the government wants to both uphold the rule of law as well as defend and strengthen the settlements.

A relocation plan, he said, would meet both goals and would expand the Beit El settlement.

Netanyahu said he would support legislation if Weinstein concludes that legal issues prohibit the relocation of the homes.

The international community is likely to frown on such legislation, which would transform dozens of outposts into newly recognized legal settlements.
Can we be clear here? Netanyahu was not elected to please the "international" community, and any weakness he shows on the issue could cost him. If voters will punish conservative parties that don't deliver, then there's every possibility he could lose next year. I don't think we should underestimate.

In some related news, the Shas party has once again announced they're willing to be his yes-men and vote in favor of destroying the neighborhood if Netanyahu doesn't allow ministers to vote freely:
A spokesperson for the Shas party announced on Sunday evening that the party’s ministers will vote against the outpost regulation law and in favor of the demolition of the Ulpana neighborhood in Beit El, if Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu chooses to maintain coalition discipline and does not allow Cabinet ministers to vote according to their conscience.

“The party will support the regulation law only if there is freedom to vote; if not, our ministers will vote like the other ministers,” said the party’s spokesman.

Earlier on Sunday, Shas chairman Eli Yishai had announced that ministers from the party intend to vote on Wednesday in favor of the bill, that will authorize as-yet unauthorized communities in Judea and Samaria (Yehuda and Shomron).
Needless to say, their bizarre weakness in loyalty to the land of Israel is a disgrace. This of course is also the party that's been abusing taxpayer money for years to fund their yeshivas yet not show any true dedication to the Torah's teachings, if they're willing to turn against their own, and that does include Hasidics too.
