Someone kind of help my out here I am at a loss for words. I understand why people would be pissed because the police killed a teen but the two police officers involved have been charged by the government, one with murder. So, why would this produce four days of rioting and looting across Greece and Crete? I understand this shooting happened in a seedy area that is occupied by low life drug users and liberal anarchists who want no police presence. So now the anarchists across Greece and Crete have united and are using this Greek tragedy as an excuse to riot and loot. Excuse me, but what in the world do you anarchists expect to accomplish by burning and looting the property of innocent people? You are burning the same businesses that you will need to function as a society. What kind of whacked out minds destroy their own nest?

While I am on the subject, anarchists are pretty common in Europe in general. What is it that these rebels want? By definition it means they want no government. How then would you liberal anarchists get your welfare and drug money? The anarchists want a nation where everyone does what is right in their own eyes. Who then would protect the innocent and the weak from all the predators like you anarchists? Even the way your going about how you can achieve anarchy is not logical. You really think that attacking government is going to bring you more freedom? If you did not already have a large degree of freedom you would be in no position to attack government. Try rioting and looting in North Korea and see what happens.

So do you really think that these riots will bring you the freedom from government that you want? It will really bring a demand for law and order from the Greek people on your necks. So in the end with your lawlessness you are destroying the freedom that you want. The Greeks or the European people are not going to sit around and watch anarchists burn down their homeland unless they are suicidal and if most of you in Europe are now suicidal the rest of you better learn to bow to Mecca when the music plays. So anarchy in Europe will only bring repression from your government or from Islam. So tell me again why you all are you rioting in Greece? You say you have nothing else to do with all your pent up hated for everyone and everything? You all richly deserve my Demented Delusional or Dumb Club award.

Three successive nights of widespread burning and looting have left stores and buildings gutted across Athens, and serious damage in Greece’s other main cities. The widely televised scenes of destruction are likely to further undermine a conservative government already rocked by financial scandals and clinging to a razor-thin majority of just one seat in the 300-member Parliament.

Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis said there would be no leniency for the rioters.

“No one has the right to use this tragic incident as an alibi for actions of raw violence, for actions against innocent people, their property and society as a whole, and against democracy,” he said after an emergency meeting with the country’s president, Karolos Papoulias.

Within hours of the boy’s death, riots erupted in cities across Greece, from Thessaloniki in the north to cities in Crete and the holiday island of Corfu. By early Tuesday, hundreds of stores, cars, banks and buildings in about a dozen cities had been torched, smashed or looted.

The worst violence occurred late Monday when gangs of masked and hooded youths screaming “Cops! Pigs! Murderers!” set up burning barricades across city streets and fought pitched street battles with riot police firing volleys of tear gas.

The insane foreign policy of Clinton and Bush toward North Korea just might cause the rise of another major nuclear power in the world. Japan could be a nuclear superpower in a few years after they make a decision to go nuclear. Japan has a large amount of plutonium, they have the rockets and they know how to build nukes.

North Korea has been playing us the fool for decades and our leadership will do anything to be in the good graces of the “Dear Leader” of North Korea even though allowing North Korea to retain nuclear weapons threatens our friends. This sham operation on their reactor does not reduce N. Korea’s nuclear capabilities one bit yet we took them off the state terrorist list even though they recently gave nuclear material to Syria and who knows who else.

Now it appears that we will treat them like friends until the next time they stab us in the back. Their murderous human rights abuses alone should keep them right on top of the list of terrorists nations. This is more of the same liberal postmodernism that believes that there are no evil people we just need to talk to them and find common ground and they will come around and see the light. We have a State Department full of nincompoops who have drunk the Kool-Aid of the “Dear Leaders” cult nation!

Allowing a nuclear North Korea puts us under constant danger of an EMP attack ourselves and the threat of North Korea exporting their nuclear material to other terrorist nations or groups. People who put Japan and ourselves under this risk should be locked up in a rubber room where they cannot harm anyone. If our loony foreign policies decisions result in a nuclear Japan we might as will give up on nuclear non-proliferation. Then each nation can prepare its own nukes for the certain doomsday that will come.

Far Eastern Economic Review | Will Japan Go Nuclear?

Japan is furious because the Bush administration, in its dying days, has done exactly what it accused the Clintonites of doing—rewarding North Korea for bad behavior. Why? Because the North Koreans are masters of brinkmanship, blackmail and extortion. They have exploited Bush’s need for a foreign policy “legacy.”

We have seen this movie before. North Korea has just “sold” its nuclear reactor at Yongbyon for the third time since 1994, and for an even higher price. In return for the usual promises that North Korea will dismantle Yongbyon, the United States will provide even more fuel aid than under the 1994 and 2007 agreements.

With North Korea now removed from the State department’s list of states that sponsor terrorism, it will be eligible for direct U.S. aid, as well as international loans and other benefits. The United States also expects Japan to help pay for this new agreement.

But Japan is balking. Indeed, it has reason to fear that the North Koreans, once they have pocketed these concessions, will present other demands. These might include a “nonaggression pact” with America and a “peace treaty” that will include the removal of remaining U.S. forces from South Korea.

And what of America’s previous insistence that North Korean “denuclearization” be complete, verifiable and irreversible? Gone, but covered by a fig leaf. North Korea will not be required to own up to its uranium-enrichment program, hidden underground. Nor will it be required to give up the six to a dozen nuclear weapons that it has already built. And North Korea won’t be held to account for its proliferation of fissile material to places such as Syria and Iran.

I have more than once said that this would happen. North Korea has been getting freebies from America for 15 years to stop their nuclear development and has done nothing but make nukes. You cannot deal with madmen. If you read this article you will see even after the 11 disablement measures are actually taken (they have been halted) it would only take North Korea only about a year to start the facilities up again (what a great deal!). Not to even mention the secret uranium project that North Korea has that is still making nuclear material that no one is talking about or the nuclear bombs it already has made for export. So the North Koreans found ways to backed out of all the deals and have make fools out of both the Clinton Administration and the Bush Administration. North Korea now hopes to take on what they know will even be a more foolish Obama Administration.

The U.S. State Department continues to be run by liberals and is in denial all over the world. They are just as loony with Iran. There is an old saying. Fool me once and shame on you, fool me twice and shame on me, fool me three times and I should get the Olympic gold metal for foolishness. Does anyone in our government know that North Korea has EMP capabilities? Does anyone care? And Rice thinks Russia will take anything we say on George or elsewhere seriously?

Maybe the world should reward the North Koreans with the Olympics and just pretend that they are such a wonderful free nation like they did with Communist China. I notice the North Koreans waited to after the Olympics to do this. Does anyone really think that was not coordinated with China? Sure, and China’s 14 year old woman gymnasts were 16 years old. You know one of these days this whole foolish appeasement thing is going to unravel worldwide and we are going to be in a world of hurt.

North Korea says it halts nuclear reactor disablement | International | Jerusalem Post

The North’s announcement marks the emergence of the biggest hurdle yet to the communist nation’s denuclearization process under a landmark deal last year and is expected to escalate tension in the nuclear talks involving China, Japan, the two Koreas, the US and Russia.

Pyongyang’s Foreign Ministry said it suspended the disablement work at the reactor and other facilities at its Yongbyon nuclear complex as of August 14 because the US did not keep its promise to delist Pyongyang as a terror sponsor under last year’s deal.

The ministry also said the country will “consider soon a step to restore” the Yongbyon nuclear facilities, but did not elaborate.

Yang Moo-jin, a professor at Seoul’s University of North Korean Studies, called Tuesday’s statement “very serious” and said that it could mean Pyongyang may have decided not to deal with the administration of US President George W. Bush.

South Korean and US officials have said eight of the 11 disablement measures have been finished and that when the entire disablement is completed, it would take at least a year for the North to restart the facilities.

This is a story about what is going on in North Korea. They actually put children in concentration camps because their ancestors did something. North Korea is a prison state run by a mad cult leader and his mad henchmen.The lunacy is that there are those in the U.S. government who actually think they should trust this madman.

FrontPage Magazine

the world outside these concentration camps is not dramatically better than the world inside them. North Korea is a prison state. Its population is subjected to the twisted universe of Kim Jong Il. The “Dear Leader” indoctrinates his population to believe that their country is a paradise and that he is, at various times, “the God of the Contemporary World,” “the Saint of all Saints” and a deity whose “love and trust in the popular masses are so absolute as to have no condition whatsoever and so broad as to have no limit.”

A famine in the mid-1990s brought about by idiotic management of the North Korean economy may have killed as many as 3 million people, or about 15 percent of the North Korean population. As Jasper Becker writes in his book Rouge Regime, “a death toll of 3 million would mean more victims than in Pol Pot’s Cambodia . . . if 15 percent of [North Korea's] population died, then the death toll, in proportion to the country, surpasses any comparable disaster in the 20th Century.”

Former Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky has written that “the international community should never trust a state more than it trusts its own people.” If this is a proper standard, then one should not expect any good to come from our current “breakthrough” with Kim Jong Il’s hellish regime.

Why Bush would deal with a mad man is a mystery only known to himself and the mad people running our State Department. I will want to hear the story one day but I fear it might be an advanced case of what Ronald Regan got or some kind of coup d’état. Otherwise, it is very difficult to understand the radical change in Bush in the last few years. Maybe He wants to show some peace gesture to the world before Israel bombs Iran forcing the U.S. to join them. Or perhaps Bush needed this to get China and Russia to sign off on a strike on Iran. Who knows?

The U.S. is being played the fool by North Korea. We get to pay for the dismantling of their aging reactor and to supply them with critical food and energy and they get to keep the nuclear material and their missiles to deliver nukes. They also get to possibly try again to get nuclear material to other terrorists states like Syria and Iran.

Nothing is said about North Korea’s secret Uranium enrichment program that may continue to produce fissionable material. Now we are going to lift all sanctions and embargoes like they actually did something good and just turn a blind eye to the fact they just tried to give Syria what it takes to make a nuke. If that does not make North Korea a terrorist state I do not know what does. Thanks to Israel that plan was stopped but who knows what is going on in the slimy little demented mind of Kim Jong III?.

It now turns out that the options the U.S. had been contemplating were designed not to punish North Korean duplicity but to encourage it. So it is that, despite its recent collaboration with Hezbollah-sponsor Syria – to say nothing of its intent, in the run-up the Iraq war, to sell $10 million worth of medium-range missiles to Saddam Hussein for use against coalition troops – North Korea no longer will be designated a terrorist state. Never mind that the country has yet to come clean about its nuclear program. In the eyes of the Bush administration, North Korea has been given a clean slate.

And legitimacy. Notwithstanding its defiance of every nuclear treaty it has ever signed – a habit of violation that continues in its latest declaration, which reportedly discusses only plutonium processing activities and not the uranium enrichment and nuclear capabilities that were supposed to have been declared – North Korea is being treated as a credible partner in negotiations instead of the extortionist state that it clearly is. Fool the Bush administration once, the lesson appears to be, and you wind up in the “axis-of-evil.” Fool it repeatedly, and all is forgiven.

As always with North Korea, there are token concessions. To demonstrate its sincerity, Pyongyang has invited foreign TV crews to broadcast its demolition of the cooling tower at the notorious Yongbyon nuclear plant. It promises to be quite the affair, though one would have to be really taken in by spectacle to forget that the plant was already supposed to be completely disabled in the 1990s and, more recently, by the end of 2007. Nor will the made-for-the-cameras moment prove that North Korea has nothing to hide. The facility at Yongbyon is believed to have been shuttered last year, having already produced enough weapons-grade plutonium to build, by some estimates, at least nine nuclear bombs. To see the destruction of this Potemkin reactor as a sign of genuine progress is to yield to illusion.

Here is a perfect picture of a nation run by elitist socialist control freaks. The government says that they are parents and the people are like children. So how do they treat their children? They kick them out of cyclone relief shelters, reject foreign aid and tell them to go eat frogs.

At some point the world is going to have to do something about these monsters that get total control of whole nations like we see now in Myanmar, North Korea and other places.

One of the reasons I point out what is going on in Myanmar is that any nation that disarms its people runs the risk of becoming another Myanmar when the control freaks rise to power. Even the U.S. might be going in that direction because they are now electing leaders who think that government is the answer for their every need. Remember once the control freaks get in power they change the laws and the people are made powerless to do anything about removing them. Can it happen here? Keep electing control freak socialists of the Far Left to our government and find out. If the Far Left gains control of government I bet that within 6 years you also will be children of your government parents.

Why would they want rice? wondered the military regime.

After several days of praising the work of the United Nations and charities, the regime’s official newspaper renewed its attacks on foreign aid and insisted Burmese could survive without outside help.

“The government and the people are like parents and children,” the paper said. “We, all the people, were pleased with the efforts of the government.”

“Myanmar (Burmese) people are capable enough of rising from such natural disasters even if they are not provided with international assistance,” the newspaper said.

“Myanmar people can easily get fish for dishes by just fishing in the fields and ditches,” the paper said. “In the early monsoon, large edible frogs are abundant.”

“The people (of the Irrawaddy delta) can survive with self-reliant efforts even if they are not given chocolate bars from (the) international community,” it added.

No aid agencies are known to have provided chocolate bars to victims of Cyclone Nargis.

The United Nations estimates that about one million people in the delta are still without emergency aid. (Agencies)

John Bolton and I have been saying the North Koreans have been playing us for fools since all this started. Even after North Korea got caught assembling a Plutonium reactor in Syria the Foggy Bottom ostriches put their head in the sand and pretended not to see their secret weapons program. It is also obvious that ostriches are setting policy in the Middle East. These Foggy Bottom ostriches never learn because they are influenced by bird brains like Albright, Rice, Scowcroft, Brzezinski, and Carter who fear rabbits but like all ostriches eat their excrement. These Liberal idealists actually expect good will and sanity to come out of evil demented murderous people. Ostriches tend to put their neck out so their heads can be chopped off. They are so farsighted they see mirage utopias of unreachable delusions. They are dangerous because they continually kick against those who try to feed them the truth. They put the whole world loony bin in a position of extreme danger. Just as did the ostriches prior to World War II.

Mr. Bush was reportedly told last week by his Director of National Intelligence, Adm. Mike McConnell, that the U.S. intelligence community does not believe the regime in Pyongyang will denuclearize and that it will, instead, simply cheat on this deal as on all the previous ones. That being the case, it is all the more obvious that the president’s call for patience should apply first and foremost to his State Department’s efforts to give away what is left of the store — appropriate and needed designations of North Korea as a state-sponsor of terror and enemy of this country.

At what point in his life did Jimmy Carter sell out to the Devil? Every wonder why Billy Carter drank himself to death. He knew his brother.

Jimmy Carter: Emissary of evil

Jimmy Carter is all about Jimmy Carter. During his presidency, he gave up the Panama Canal and allowed the Ayatollahs to take power in Iran – all for the praise of the international community. In 1980, he asked the Soviet Union to release Jewish emigrants, hoping that such action would soften American feeling against the USSR and thereby swing the presidential election to him. In 1984, he told the Russians that if Reagan were re-elected, there would not “be a single agreement on arms control, especially on nuclear arms, as long as Reagan remained in power.” In 2002, Carter accepted the Nobel Peace Prize, despite a clear indication by Nobel Committee members that the prize was meant as a rebuke to President Bush.

Does all this make Carter evil, or just a useful idiot? By all accounts, Carter is highly intelligent – perhaps the most intelligent president of the last 50 years. It would be foolish to write him off as simply naive. He is quite willing to be used by dictators from Venezuela to Cuba to North Korea, so long as helping them polishes his legacy. For almost three decades, Carter has pandered to enemies of Western Civilization, shielding his treasonous behavior with the title of “ex-president.” His Hamas-hugging is just the latest entry in a political diary that would make Osama bin Laden proud.

Our government knows that North Korea is a brainwashing cult and Kim Jong-II is totally insane. Yet, they try to appease him and make deals with these nuclear loons that they know cannot be trusted. Time and time again North Korean leaders have demonstrated their evil, but our delusional state department ignores the truth and deals with this cult to our own peril. It is not just the North Koreans that are nuts, so are the people who set our delusional foreign policy. Everyone in our State Department that are part of this facade richly deserve my Demented Delusional or Dumb club of the week award. Congratulations!

Hidden-camera series reveals nationwide cult

North Korea still imposes the death penalty for those who offend the dictator by expressing faith in a religion such as Christianity, and where tens of thousands of Christians are held in terminal prison camps.A spokesman for Open Doors, which ranks North Korea No. 1 on its World Watch list of countries where Christians suffer the greatest persecution, said even on Christmas Day, executions occur.

“The state is working hard to wipe out Christianity,” said Open Doors USA spokesman Jerry Dykstra. “Nowhere in the world is such a high price paid as in this country with its tyrannical regime,” he said.

The Chinese leaders intend to make it clear to the world that they run Tibet. So why does the world intend to go to China to play games with these people in their world class filthy city? Why does the world continue to buy their slave labor built filthy products that are undermining Western society? If the Chinese must rule other countries with their communist cult leader controlled army, why do we aid them in doing this with our own wealth? Let them become a isolated nation run by loony cult leaders like North Korea.

FOXNews.com – China’s Ruling Party Paper Urges ‘Crush’ of Tibetan Protests, McCain Joins Criticism – International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News

BEIJING — The flagship newspaper of China’s ruling Communist Party called Saturday for efforts to “resolutely crush” anti-government demonstrations by Tibetans, while Beijing urged people to turn in those on a “Most Wanted” list of 21 protesters.

Living in denial about North Korea is just more proof that the Bush administration foreign policy is totally nuts. Lets not forget that his foreign policy toward Iran will soon allow them to have nuclear weapons and that he intends to create a terrorist state next to Israel to create peace in the Middle East?

The real state of play, then, is that North Korea will not fully
declare, much less disable or dismantle, its nuclear weapons programs,
and it has continued to proliferate. To mask this noncompliance, the
State Department will talk optimistically of the next phases of
diplomacy, continuing to provide North Korea with heavy fuel oil,
removing it from the list of state sponsors of terror, even negotiating
a peace treaty and full normalization. In short, no amount of evidence
of North Korea’s bad intentions will deter the Bush administration from
declaring diplomatic victory.

Bush was nuts to ever believe the North Koreans. This bate and switch game has been going on for decades. Korea is not going to give up its secret nuclear program. You cannot deal with a total lunatic and his cult followers.

clipped from online.wsj.com There’s more positive news from the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea: Its leaders have refused to make any further disclosure concerning its nuclear programs. How is this umpteenth violation of the Feb. 13, 2006, agreement in the Six-Party Talks positive? Because at a critical moment on a gravely important issue, North Korea has again shown its true colors, thus providing the United States an opportunity to extricate itself from this unwise and dangerous deal.

FOXNews.com – North Korean Tubes Found to Be Contaminated With Uranium Traces – Politics Republican Party Democratic Party Political Spectrum: “WASHINGTON — North Korea recently turned over to the United States equipment found to be contaminated with traces of highly enriched uranium — HEU — apparently contradicting the country’s stance that it never had such a program, FOX News has confirmed.
The equipment was described as a set of ’smelted aluminum tubes’ suitable for an HEU centrifuge program, a step necessary to make a nuclear weapon.
‘They got some ‘splainin‘ to do,’ one U.S. arms control official said when first told of the discovery about a month ago, he recalled to FOX.”

So N. Korea has a secret Uranium enrichment program after all. Duh! Don’t know why the loons in our State Department want to believe they don’t. They let you come in on the aging reactor because they don’t need it and don’t have the know how to dismantle it. They are counting on Uncle Santa to do that for them and meanwhile they get nice gift wrapped presents for being naughty or nice.

Israelis hit Syrian ‘nuclear bomb plant’ – Times Online: “ISRAEL’S top-secret air raid on Syria in September destroyed a bomb factory assembling warheads fuelled by North Korean plutonium, a leading Israeli nuclear expert has told The Sunday Times. Professor Uzi Even of Tel Aviv University was one of the founders of the Israeli nuclear reactor at Dimona, the source of the Jewish state’s undeclared nuclear arsenal. “I suspect that it was a plant for processing plutonium, namely, a factory for assembling the bomb,” he said. “I think the DPRK [Democratic People’s Republic of Korea] transferred to Syria weapons-grade plutonium in raw form, that is nuggets of easily transported metal in protective cans. I think the shaping and casting of the plutonium was supposed to be in Syria.”

So how do we know there won’t be more, or that Iran was not also given plutonium by the North Koreans. I don’t think anyone can say that Iran does not have nukes with a large degree of confidence. They could have even got nukes after the Soviet Union collapse.

ANALYSIS: Iran laughing at U.S. lack of nuclear intelligence – Haaretz – Israel News
The noise that was heard last night in Tehran, according to credible reports, was a hearty Persian laugh after looking at the U.S. intelligence service’s website. The unclassified document that Director of National Intelligence, Adm. Mike McConnell published, titled “Iran: Nuclear Intentions and Capabilities,” as a laundered version that faithfully represents the greatest secrets collected by the CIA and the other U.S. intelligence services, can appropriately be called “much evaluation on no intelligence.”

“Behind the heap of words, presented as “a low or medium level of certainty,” the differences between the worst-case and the best-case views on when Iran will be capable of producing a nuclear weapon are not that great. These range from somewhere between 2009 and the following five years, starting in 2010. Even McConnell’s intelligence officers agree that Iran can buy nukes off the shelf – from Syria, North Korea and maybe Pakistan – and that the renewal of the program, if it is indeed on a coffee break, depends only on the intentions of the rulers, and those intentions will change only when the rulers are replaced. The CIA is so angry with Bush, it seems, that it is ready to go to great lengths in order to help another president.

Iran is right, we do not have a clue. Why publish a report so the Leftist media can make a big deal about how long it will really be before Iran can go nuclear when the report itself says it only has a low or medium level of certainty? Even Israel says the report is wrong.

This was obviously designed to play into the democrats and embarrass the President. The intelligence heads play it safe and take themselves off the hook if Bush should order a strike on Iran. If Bush is right then they can just tell the new administration that the report had a low degree of certainty. If things go wrong after a Bush strike they can tell the new administration that they told Bush there was no reason to launch an attack. It is a win win situation for them but the “intelligence” report totally fails the country. If the combined intelligence of 16 intelligence agencies is nothing more than a guess what good are they? I am not impressed and neither is Iran.
