Iraq - Clinton says surge working

This is going to piss off the left.

"Clinton said new tactics have brought some success against insurgents, particularly in Iraq's Anbar province.

"It's working."

BBC's lies, fabrications and bias

The BBC will stop at nothing to further it's far left wing agenda, going so far as to fabricate reports, lie and support terrorists. Not only does the BBC admit to much of this, at times they even boast of it. This site and Biased BBC website have documented the BBC's bias, lies and fabrications for years.

I've updated, edited and categorized my documentation.

Islam Needs an Age of Reason

and soon too.

BBC Wikipedia vandal and censor warned

Bryan at Biased BBC posted some links to Wikipedia's numerous warnings to the BBC to stop censoring and vandalizing their site.

In this example a BBC employee tried to edited out the Greyskull comment scandal from Kirsty Mcabe's page.

"A BBC weather girl was forced to apologise yesterday after calling Rangers' stadium Castle Greyskull on air."

Here's an example of a BBC employee vandalizing Wikipedia.

In this example a BBC employee inserts a gay comment about Dimitar Berbatov.

Here a BBC employee calls footballer, Ben Thatcher, a "cunt" and a "violent cunt".

The BBC edits out criticism of BBC shows as well. The BBC removed this from Jeremy Vine's page.

"The Jeremy Vine show on BBC Radio 2 tends to exhibit tabloid style journalism, with sensationalist, often [[The_Sun_(newspaper)|Sun]] style headlines bearing little resemblance to the facts of the feature (for example, the headline "school children forced to take drugs tests at the school gates", when in fact, as the feature detailed, the drugs tests weren't compulsory, nor at the school gates."

The BBC routinely make up their own "facts".

The same old song from the BBC

Sadly it is.

Us - The Peace Racket

Isa threat to world peace.

"We need to make two points about this movement at the outset. First, it’s opposed to every value that the West stands for—liberty, free markets, individualism—and it despises America, the supreme symbol and defender of those values. Second, we’re talking not about a bunch of naive Quakers but about a movement of savvy, ambitious professionals that is already comfortably ensconced at the United Nations, in the European Union, and in many nongovernmental organizations. It is also waging an aggressive, under-the-media-radar campaign for a cabinet-level Peace Department in the United States. Sponsored by Ohio Democratic congressman Dennis Kucinich (along with more than 60 cosponsors), House Resolution 808 would authorize a Secretary of Peace to “establish a Peace Academy,” “develop a peace education curriculum” for elementary and secondary schools, and provide “grants for peace studies departments” at campuses around the country. If passed, the measure would catapult the peace studies movement into a position of extraordinary national, even international, influence. "

Terror victims are BBC licence-payers, too

The Telegraph reports.

"In its international and domestic news reporting, the corporation has consistently come across as naïve and partial, rather than sensitive and unbiased. Its reporting of Israel and Palestine, in particular, tends to underplay the hate-filled Islamist ideology that inspires Hamas and other factions, while never giving Israel the benefit of the doubt. (Disgracefully, the BBC is still refusing to publish the Balen Report, which it commissioned to investigate allegations of anti-Israel bias.)"

Something I've been documenting for years.

UK - Glasgow Muslim terrorist confession

The Guardian leaves out the fact that he was a Muslim. And near as I can tell the BBC don't have the story at all.

Scientists hail ‘frozen smoke’

This sounds cool.

Afghan refugees flood back home

A sign that the Taleban are losing and so the BBC have so spin the story in a negative way.

Afghanistan has coped with the returnees so far, but 100,000 or more in six weeks from Iran this summer, and the camps closing in Pakistan is becoming a problem. ...

The Afghan government is already struggling to bring the essentials to the people, and the flow of more and more refugees is going to make that job even harder still.

And still the trucks jingle up the mountains from Pakistan and the people keep coming.

Freedom is a strong attraction Auntie.

Can Middle East Studies be fixed?

Yes, if we get rid of the left wing professors.

Last April, the Manhattan Institute hosted Kramer in New York. "His speaking to us today is primarily for reasons that belong to his outspokenness on behalf of the idea of not politicizing history, especially Middle East history," said Roger Hertog, the vice chairman of AllianceBernstein, in his introduction. "You should all get a copy of Martin's book Ivory Towers on Sand, where he really discusses and analyzes what's happened on college campuses, relative to Middle Eastern history."

In the speech, Kramer explained the fundamental problem: "In the 1980s and 90s, Middle Eastern studies were transformed into a field where scholarship took a backseat to advocacy, where a few biases became the highest credentials, where dissenting views became thought crimes." (His remarks may be heard on the Manhattan Institute website.)

Kramer points to the late Edward Said's seminal 1978 book Orientalism as chiefly responsible for the political poisoning of an entire academic field. Others have shared this insight, which is explored in rich detail by Robert Irwin in Dangerous Knowledge, a comprehensive book published last year.

Kramer, for his part, presented a devastating picture of how Said's book spread like a virus as it encouraged professors to trade scholarly pursuits for ideological agendas. "Middle Eastern studies came under a take-no-prisoners assault, which rejected the idea of objective standards, disguised the vice of politicization with the virtue of commitment, and replaced proficiency with ideology," he wrote.

The fundamental purpose of Ivory Towers on Sand was to highlight an important problem in our country's understanding of the Middle East, and in this respect it succeeded. It certainly did not lead to a sea change in attitudes on campus -- a desperately tall order. Today, Kramer says the situation among the professoriate hasn't changed. "If anything, it's gotten worse," he admits.

Read the whole thing as our universitites are one of the most important fronts in the war on terror.

Afghanistan - BBC fabricates civilian death report

Taleban fighters?!? Next thing you know the BBC will be calling them "freedom fighters"

"At least 60 Taleban fighters have been killed in clashes with Afghan and US-led forces in southern Afghanistan, officials say.

In the first incident, in the province of Helmand, coalition forces responded to a Taleban attack, killing 50 insurgents, they said."

In the second, in neighbouring Kandahar province, 10 militants were killed in clashes with Afghan troops.

Let me make this easy for you BBC. They're Islamic jihadists. True to form the BBC carries the water for the jihadists. "The statement claims no civilians were killed during the battle, but local people told a BBC reporter that most of the dead were women and children. "

Then the BBC offer up this: "Violence has risen sharply in the last two months, as Taleban attacks on Afghan and US-led forces have increased, as part of their summer offensive. " Actually, its because of the increased attacks we've mounted on them and not the other way around.

Update

Hang on a minute here. The BBC claims "local people told a BBC reporter that most of the dead were women and children." But according to Reuters the place was to remote to get to.

"The Taliban, who are leading an insurgency against the government and foreign troops, could not be reached for comment and because of the remoteness of the region there was no independent verification of the report.

Two residents phoned a Reuters reporter in the south to say that 17 people, 16 of them civilians, were killed in the bombing."

Now the BBC doesn't say how the "local people" told them and it could be they got a call as well. But that raises the question of who is actually calling these media outlets and if the area is so remote, how do they have phones? And if people are merely phoning in, how does Reuters or the BBC know they are local? And does local mean Taliban? The answers really don't matter to the BBC or Reuters because the report fits their left wing agendas.

BBC and the Muslim Jesus

Lots of views here. I like this part:

"I think you need to lower your expectations for the upcoming BBC documentaty on how Muslims see Jesus.

Two huge warning signs from the Guardian quote:

First:
"Representatives from mainstream Anglican and Catholic organisations were invited to take part in the film, to be broadcast on Sunday, but nobody was available, Mr Ashraf said."

Huh? Nobody answers the phone at the Vatican? I guess Archie of Canterbury was hobnobbing with the Wiccans at Stonehedge again.

Second:
"I hope it will provoke among Muslims the feeling they are included in television."

I'm sure this is what those who want to revert back to the 7th century are dreaming about."

Video: “Islam in Europe”

US - CAIR caught lying, again

Too bad the left wing media isn't interested in investigating this terror supporting organization. Thankfully bloggers are.

BBC coverup at Heathrow Airport demonstration

Here's how the BBC report on the incident.

"Police said up to six arrests were made on Saturday after protesters locked themselves to the gates of an Israeli firm which flies produce to the UK.

A 22-year-old man was later arrested outside the protest site on suspicion of harassment and causing actual bodily harm."

So why single out the Israeli firm over an airport demonstration? For that you need to know what the BBC coverup.

"Amos Orr, general manager of Agrexco UK, said: "They broke in. A lot of them were drunk, they broke doors, spread papers everywhere and they were very aggressive. They were singing about Hamas."

UK - A liberal admits he was wrong all along

A shame it took 9/11 to do it. My hats off to the guy. This isn't some small admission about one issue, the leftist writer Andrew Anthony, admits that 9/11 forced him to admit that his entire left wing views were wrong. Now, if we could just get the rest of the left wing world to admit that they too are completely and utterly wrong.

You've got to read the whole thing but here's a long excerpt.

"In the end I reached the conclusion that 11 September had already brutally confirmed: there were other forces, far more malign than America, that lay in wait in the world. But having faced up to the basic issue of comparative international threats, could I stop the political reassessment there? If I had been wrong about the relative danger of America, could I be wrong about all the other things I previously held to be true? I tried hard to suppress this thought, to ring-fence the global situation, grant it exceptional status and keep it in a separate part of my mind. I had too much vested in my image of myself as a 'liberal'. I had bought into the idea, for instance, that all social ills stemmed from inequality and racism. I knew that crime was solely a function of poverty. That to be British was cause for shame, never pride. And to be white was to bear an unshakable burden of guilt. I held the view, or at least was unprepared to challenge it, that it was wrong to single out any culture for censure, except, of course, Western culture, which should be admonished at every opportunity. I was confident, too, that Israel was the source of most of the troubles in the Middle East. These were non-negotiables for any right-thinking decent person. I couldn't question these received wisdoms without questioning my own identity. And I had grown too comfortable with seeing myself as one of the good guys, the well-meaning people, to want to do anything that upset that image. I viewed myself as understanding, and to maintain that self-perception it was imperative that I didn't try to understand myself.

In a sense 11 September was the ultimate mugging, a murderous assertion of a new reality, or rather a reality that already existed but which we preferred not to see. Over the years I had absorbed a notion of liberalism that was passive, defeatist, guilt-ridden. Feelings of guilt governed my world view: post-colonial guilt, white guilt, middle-class guilt, British guilt. But if I was guilty, 9/11 shattered my innocence. More than anything it challenged us all to wake up and open our eyes to what was real. It took me far too long to meet that challenge. For while I realised almost straight away that 9/11 would change the world, it would be several years before I accepted that it had also changed me. I had been wrong. This was my story, after all."

This sums up perfectly almost all the leftist I've ever met or had a conversation with. And the unseen, very real tragedy and danger here is, that our universitites are filled with left wing professors who are indoctronating our young with this same poison. God help us.

BBC bans Muslim terror script

Reported by the far left Guardian no less.

"The BBC has abandoned plans to screen a fictional terrorist attack by Muslim suicide bombers in the primetime drama Casualty after internal clashes over whether the highly sensitive subject matter would cause offence."

The BBC's support for jihadists knows no bounds. Not only does the BBC cover for their jihadist in fiction, but in real life too.

The BBC goes even further and supports jihadists on their website and has no problem with offending Christians there.

Much more here.

BBC forced to removed 'bastard' slur about Jesus

The BBC is totally out of control.

"It is the latest in a string of offensive comments that BBC editors have allowed members of the public to post.

The remarks have been allowed to remain for weeks, despite complaints from religious groups. "

That is unless the remarks are about Muslims.

"Colonelartist is a regular contributor to the BBC site.

He has also written: "The jews in much remembered concentration camps had even better qualitity of freedom that these palestinians have...'

One website user wanted to see if BBC editors were allowing these offensive remarks to remain while blocking others. He wrote: "No one can surpass the Muslims for denial of their role in Terrorism and Suicide bombing." The remarks were almost immediately deleted. "

This is mild compared to the BBC's lies and fabrications but adds to the overall picture that the BBC is totally out of control.

BBC coverup in Turkish hijacking

The jihad supporting BBC once again cover for jihadists.

Here's the BBC's version of events.

"Shortly afterwards two men tried to forced their way into the cockpit.

When they did not succeed, the men asked to be flown to Iran, but the plane landed in Antalya, after the pilot claimed it needed refuelling.

Here's the Telegraph's version.

One passenger, Erhan Erkul, saw the hijackers run towards the cockpit shortly after takeoff and try, but fail, to break down the door. "They claimed to have bombs," he said.

Hakki Dogusoy, another passenger, said they had promised not to harm those on board. "They said 'We are Muslims. You are Muslims too. We will not do you any harm'," he said.

Typical of the BBC.
