Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
First, some commentary on the New Zealand mosque murders ~
New Zealand shooting’s a social media wake-up call — YouTube, others, must stop amplifying violent crimes ~ Harmeet K. Dhillon, partner Dhillon Law Group in San Francisco (and frequent Fox News guest), takes the tech giants to task for not doing more to discourage tragedies like this ~
(W)e have seen a disturbing trend in recent school, church and other mass murders. The rise of social media and the ability to live-stream an attack give sick killers an added incentive to do their deeds with a huge, international audience of transfixed viewers. And there is no intermediation to soften the blow.
New Zealand murders: repercussions and perspective ~ Very few media types are comparing this event to the ongoing murders of Christians, worldwide, on a daily basis. It was bad four years ago. And it’s only grown worse since then. This is from Srdja Trifkovic, Chronicles, via Jihad Watch ~
Terrorist attacks against Muslims in the Western world are extremely rare. This morning’s carnage in two mosques in New Zealand, with the death toll currently at 50, is the first major event of its kind since the Quebec City mosque shooting—over two years ago – which killed six persons.
(As for the alleged “Islamophobic incidents” in general, overwhelmingly they are either unverifiable or too trivial to be taken seriously.)
While 56 dead in two years is 56 too many, this regrettable incident will dominate the headlines infinitely more than any comparable carnage involving Christians, notably the 2017 Palm Sunday church bombings in Alexandria; it killed 45 people, and was all but ignored by the Western media and politicians.
3000 Yazidi sex slaves missing and feared dead ~ Here’s a story the mainstreams apparently don’t think worthy of mentioning ~
Are the lives of Yazidi girls and women so valueless in the eyes of the Western media? Add to that the fact that thousands of other Yazidi sex slaves who were tortured and murdered. Where also are the human rights activists? Why do they ignore these victims of jihad terror and abuse (ISIS)?
World’s Thermostat Is in the Creator’s Hand – Always Has Been, and Always Will Be ~ Common sense commentary from Charlie Daniels, acknowledging the valuable role ecologists originally played in cleaning up the environment, while calling out today’s disingenuous climate-changers ~
This “the world will end in 12 years” brand of tactic is a farce, an attempt at a power grab that has a lot more to do with election than environment.
It is designed to scare the people of this country into giving up convenience and personal freedom so that a bunch of radicals can control every facet of life from cradle to grave […]
I firmly believe that we should do our best to clean up our environment and try to persuade China, Russia, India and the other real polluters to clean up their act, but even if it’s done to the “Nth” degree, it will make for a cleaner, more healthy, pleasant world, but it will affect the temperature of the earth, not one jot, nor one tittle […]
When mankind tries to take over the things that belong to the Creator, and the temperature of this and all planets are controlled by the hand and will of Almighty God, he finds himself at odds with an eternally implacable force, the results of which are not pretty.
Amazon Crosses a Very Dangerous Censorship Line ~ The planet’s largest bookseller is now engaging in book banning. Shades of Hitler ~
With the news last week that Amazon has banned Mohammed’s Koran: Why Muslims Kill for Islam, co-authored by British activist Tommy Robinson and Peter McLoughlin, Amazon has crossed a very dangerous and precarious line […]
When McLoughlin, who helped expose the “grooming” crimes committed by some British Muslims, received word that the book had been removed from Amazon, he wrote, “This is the twenty-first century equivalent of the Nazis taking out the books from university libraries and burning them.
“Can you think of another scholarly book on Islam that has been banned by Amazon? Mein Kampf is for sale on Amazon. As are books like the terrorist manual called The Anarchist Cookbook.”
This is what true Islamaphobia looks like. (Cowering in face of totalitarian ideology.)
POLAR BEAR Habitat Update: Abundant Sea Ice Across The Arctic, Even In The Barents Sea ~ Despite dire predictions from the alarmists that the ice would have melted by 2012, 2013, 2014… And we’re supposed to believe the same doomsday prophets about “climate change?”
Beto O’Rourke, Climate Change, and the End of the World ~ Will Beto’s crazy hyperbole catch on with the young, ignorant and gullible? ~
The scary thing is not that this new presidential candidate believes this timetable (the world will end in 12 years unless…) to be true.
It’s that today’s intellectual environment is such that he can say these things without being laughed to scorn. Worse still, he believes that this kind of rhetoric will help his campaign rather than hurt it. And he might well be right.
It’s already started ~ Birthstrikers – cancelling their future kids to advertise climate change? ~
Two hundred years from now anthropologists will marvel at a bizarre cult at the start of the third millennium that were so terrified of climate change that they vowed not to have children until the weather got perfect, or climate change “ended” or the Yeti appeared at their press conference.
This is the logical end point of where the self-hate civilization gets us.
Actually, it’s probably best that these clueless folks don’t reproduce.
These 3 videos from CBP show EXACTLY why there’s a crisis on the southern border ~ Videos from U.S. Customs and Border Protection operations in the San Diego area illustrate how out-of-control this situation has become. The illegals are even throwing little kids over fences as decoys. Just the sort of immigrants America needs eh?
Bible Was Right #529: Springs of the Sea ~ The more we discover about our amazing planet and its unique ecosystems, the more credible the Bible’s descriptions become.
Scientists never would have guessed we’d find hot springs on the ocean floor ~
“Have you entered into the springs of the sea,
or walked in the recesses of the deep?” ~ Job 38:16
Only 40 years ago, J. B. Corliss found the first hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the sea near the Galapagos Islands. Nature recounts the anniversary of that surprise, and the concurrent discovery of complete ecosystems around the hot springs, thriving in total darkness.
Why Did Obama Import a Somali Muslim Congressional District for Ilhan Omar to Represent? ~ John Zmirak at The Stream isn’t afraid to point out the obvious ~
The Obama administration imitated the strategy of leftist governments in Europe. They too, imported distant Muslims to their countries, precisely in order to disrupt and divide the populace. And to liquidate what traces of a common Christian culture the nation might have.
The plan is clear. It applies wherever leftist globalists wield power. Use arguments of “compassion” as needed to get the Muslims across the border and safely resettled. Then use their presence in Italian schools to demand that the classrooms take down their crucifixes. Use their presence in Britain to suppress criticism of Islam as a potential “breach of the peace.”
Weaponize them as reliable voters for the radical left. Never mind how they differ on issues of sexual politics. What matters is liquidating the old, common Christian culture. The trans activists, the gay libertines, and the Islamists will settle their differences later. For now they’re united by a common goal, as the U.S. and the Soviets were up through 1945.
Dozens of K9 Officers Visit Terminally Ill Girl Who Loves Dogs ~ It was dream come true last week for a young Wisconsin girl ~
Emma Mertens, a seven-year-old diagnosed with a rare inoperable brain tumor in January, got to see dozens of real-life canines after police officers and K9 officers visited her home on Saturday morning.
