Obama definitly losing it: Sends Ambassador Ford back to the murderous regime of Syria!

The Obama administration is sending Ambassador Robert Ford back to Syria, even as the regime continues to attack civilians and opposition groups.

Ford had been recalled in October, prompting Syria to recall its ambassador to the U.S. He is now scheduled to return, after a delay prompted by fears for his security.

Though originally a recess appointment, Ford was recently confirmed by the Senate through the end of President Obama’s term. He won praise for monitoring Syrian human rights abuses, but by the end of October it became clear that the regime was simply uninteresting in “reform,” no matter what Secretary of State Hillary Clinton once said.

The Obama administration had re-established full diplomatic relations with Syria, as part of an effort to “engage” the Arab world, regardless of the character of the regimes that rule it.

That effort was itself the continuation of an effort undertaken by Democrats in 2007 immediately after taking control of Congress, when then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi famously met with the Syrian dictator in an attempt to distance her party from the interventionist and pro-democracy policies of then-President George W. Bush.

President Bush had broken off all relations with Syria in 2005 due to the Assad regime’s likely role in the assassinating former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri.

The Obama administration thus far has continued to prioritize “engagement” with hostile regimes above human rights and democracy. When it has confronted autocratic regimes, it has done so belatedly, and it has tended to be most harsh with pro-American regimes (such as Egypt) or those that had complied with western demands (such as Libya). The Obama administration has largely ignored warnings about the Islamist character of the new governments that have replaced the old regimes, even in nominally liberal Tunisia.

As Israeli physicist Dr. Haim Harari noted last month, the Obama administration’s policy “works against dictatorial friends of America and does not oppose, in any significant way, all dictatorial foes of America.” 

It is a post-colonialpolicy, driven by a misplaced and contrived western guilt that has been embraced by the president, the Democratic Party, and too much of the American foreign policy establishment.

Obama's Friend, Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan to give Hamas 300 Million

Turkish sources reported that Turkish Prime Minister, Receb Tayyip Erdogan, sent a confidential letter to Ismail Haniyya, Prime Minister of the Hamas-led government in the Gaza Strip, inviting him to visit Turkey, and informing him that he decided to grant the government $300 Million.

 

The United States and Turkey are on a honeymoon, with President Obama and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan having formed what is probably the best relationship between a U.S. president and a Turkish prime minister in decades…. Obama and Erdogan seem to have really hit it off: Turkish media outlets reported that after Erdogan’s mother died last month, Obama was among the world leaders who called him and that the two “spoke for 45 minutes about their feelings.” This personal rapport is the foundation of the new U.S.-Turkish relationship. (Washington Post)

Unfortunately, the Turkish regime now is a major supporter of such terrorist groups as Hamas and Hizballah. In addition, the Turkish government is closely aligned with the IHH, an Islamist terrorist group which the Turkish government backed in the Gaza Flotilla in order to create an international crisis.

This September, Obama and Hillary Clinton selected Erdogan’s Turkey to co-chair the new Global Counterterrorism Forum. As Barry Rubin pointed out, there’s a slight problem with that– specifically, Erdogan’s support of actual terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.

At the very moment when the U.S. government is making the Turkish government its partner in fighting terrorism, that same government is turning Turkey into a dictatorship. Every day, military officers are being arrested on ridiculous charges. Freedom is steadily contracting.

Jewish "taliban" Woman introduce new headpiece

According to different testimonies, radical women have begun wearing cloth-covered pipe on their head to conceal their human figure

Notice the headpiece on the crazy lady on the left

Have the "Taliban women" invented a new strict modesty rule? According to testimonies received by Ynet's local portal, Mynet, the radical group of ultra-Orthodox women dressed in cloaks has begun wearing a cloth-covered tube on their heads in order to conceal their human figure.

A source close to the group reveals that "the stricter members have decided that the veil is not enough, as the form of their face can still be seen. The solution found is a sort of pipe in the form of a funnel, which they wear on their heads under the veil."

The haredi public recently stepped up its war on the radical phenomenon, and even the most conservative rabbis affiliated with the extreme Eda Haredit faction have lashed out at the women.

A special meeting of the Badatz – the Eda Haredit's supreme religious-spiritual authority – concluded with a proclamation titled, "Holy call for the sanctity of Israel's homes." The rabbis warned Jewish women to stay away from the customs and ways of the "Taliban women", who "are doomed".

85 year old Granny,4' 9" and 110 Pounds, stripped searched by TSA!

85 year old grandmother, Lenore Zimmerman is planning to sue the TSA Agents of the JFK Airport after undergoing a humiliating stripped search on Tuesday.

Zimmerman said she was on her way to  catch a flight destined for Fort Lauderdale when some security officers at the airport whisked her away to a private room then began to take off her clothes.

“I walk with a walker — I really look like a terrorist?” she said sarcastically. “I’m tiny. I weigh 110 pounds, 107 without clothes, and I was strip-searched.” “I was outraged,” said Zimmerman.

All this happened after Zimmerman requested to forego the advanced image technology screening equipment, because she fears it might interfere with her defibrillator.

“My sock was soaked with blood,” she said. “I was bleeding like a pig.”

She said despite her age, the TSA agents showed no signs of sympathy throughout her ordeal. Instead, they proceeded to pull down her pants and asked her to raise her arms.

However, TSA spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein said review of the closed circuit TV footage from the airport shows “proper procedures were followed,” in how the agents dealt with Lenore Zimmerman.

“Our screening procedures are conducted in a manner designed to treat all passengers with dignity, respect and courtesy,” Farbstein continued.

Zimmerman who missed her flight because of the ordeal, had to be treated by medics, and given a tetanus shot for fear of infection from the walker wound.

Obama spent $200 million to help Islamist win in Egypt!

The Obama administration spent some $200 million on democracy building in the lead-up to the elections this week in Egypt.
But with 65 percent of the vote going to Islamist candidates, it doesn’t appear the money was well spent. 

Stephen McInerney, executive director of the Project on Middle East Democracy, told Campaigns & Elections magazine that $65 million went to Egypt after the uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak and an additional $100 million was earmarked for economic development but also to train Egypt’s nascent political parties.

The money is going through the State Department, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the International Republican Institute and the National Democratic Institute.

A Washington-based consultant who works with USAID and the State Department says the focus of the aid to Egypt has been on helping the smaller political parties that are competing against the better organized Freedom and Justice Party, the Muslim Brotherhood’s party.

This week saw the first round of Parliamentary elections, with voting in nine of the country’s 27 provinces. The staggered elections will continue over the coming months. The Freedom and Justice Party won 40 percent of the vote on Wednesday, with an additional 15 percent going to the Salafis, a group of hard-line Islamists who reject the right of women to vote.

“Poorly organized and internally divided, the liberal parties could not compete with Islamists disciplined by decades as the sole opposition to Mr. Mubarak,” the New York Times reported.

Many Chassidic songs are Gypsy Songs, Non-Jewish

Anyone who is familiar with the world music genre knows that some of the most beautiful music comes from the Balkans in southeastern Europe.

Balkan music reflects the unique musical culture of the gypsies, and when one hears a gypsy violin playing, one cannot help but be affected.

As it turns out, the Hassidim in Romania were also moved by Balkan music. The Vizhnitzer Rebbe Chaim Meir Hager would go out to the road, listen to the gypsy singers and then command his followers to sing the same tunes when setting his table.

Two years ago Naor Carmi, a ba’al teshuva through Chabad who has played with some of the best singers in Israel, took upon himself to find out exactly

how much gypsy music had affected the Vizhnitz Hassidim. During the course of his research he found out that over 200 Hassidic melodies had been drawn from gypsy culture, directly and indirectly.

Carmi then decided to start a unique project: to produce some of these tunes in a way that takes them back to their original gypsy sound. In order to do this he found an authentic gypsy violin, brought a musical Jewish family from the Balkans, invited renowned Hasidic musician Chilik Frank, and created a show which combines the purity of Vizhnitz with the purity of the gypsies.

The show quickly sold out and Carmi had no choice but to continue and hold more shows due to the demand.

For those who missed any of the shows, one of them was recorded last year and now, after much studio work, it has been released as an album entitled “Playing Vizhnitz.”

The alternating extremes of joy and sorrow, the authenticity and professionalism of the artists and the Jewish Balkan family which takes part make this album rare in its intensity.

Clinton bashes Israel's loss of "democracy"

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over the weekend expressed her concern over the “threat to democracy” in Israel. Speaking at the Saban Forum in Washington, Clinton said she was concerned over laws that could be seen as anti-democratic, especially the efforts to pass a law limiting donations to leftist organizations by foreign governments.

The United States itself has laws against donations to political causes by foreign governments.

Monsey House of Prostitution Busted

Irina Alkhimova 

Two more women working in a Rockland County spa have been arrested in a police investigation into alleged prostitution.

The latest arrests were made after Ramapo police began an investigation into N&Y Ultimate Service Spa at 12A N. Airmont Road.

Police launched a sting operation after receiving information about suspected prostitution at the spa.

An undercover officer visited the establishment Wednesday night.

As a result, two women were arrested.

No customers were in the spa at the time.

Irina Alkhimova, 34, of Brooklyn was charged with one county of count of unauthorized practice of a profession, a felony, and one count of prostitution, a misdemeanor.

Tamara Napikova, 26, of Manhattan was charged with unauthorized practice of a profession.

Instances of New York City women, usually from Asia or Russia, working in suburban spas and nail salons, and accused of working in sex trades have become more common.

In October, a Queens woman was arrested in an undercover investigation into possible prostitution at New City Spa, 59 Main St.

Nine women were arrested in a sweep of five spas in New City, Nanuet and Bardonia in 2006.

Another was arrested in a spa in Central Nyack in August 2010.Businesses offering body massages along with offers of sex have been a problem across Rockland for years, leading to periodic police investigations.The businesses often operate in strip mall storefronts or office buildings.
"It's insidious," said Sonia Ossorio, executive director of the National Organization for Women in New York City.

"These nail salons, spas, massage parlors are fronts for the international sex trade," Ossorio said.

The organization has been monitoring the growth of such criminal enterprises and their links to human trafficking .
"These criminal enterprises are global in scope and they are very sophisticated," she said.

Investigators in Rockland have tried to determine if the women were forced into the sex trade by smugglers who brought them into the country illegally.

The two women arrested Wednesday night were arraigned in the Airmont Village Court.

Alkhimova was released on $2,500 bail and Napikova was released on $1,500 bail.

Both suspect were due in court Thursday night.
