TheStar.com | World | MIT student lucky to be alive after fake bomb prank

Fri, 21 Sep 2007 15:59:35 -0700

An MIT electrical engineering student was arrested and almost gunned down at the airport in Boston. Why? Because the t-shirt she was wearing had a circuit board on the chest. Cops openly admit that she came within a hair's bredth of being blown away. There really is no limit to the paranoid delusions of the Amerikan people, is there?

According to the head oinker, the incident "is a reminder of the terrorism threat confronting the civil aviation system." Because, you know, terrorists always glue circuit boards to their shirts and then wander around the lobby of airports. I think the worst part of this is that her school, MIT, has bent over and grabbed its ankles for the piggies. They're scrambling all over themselves to show that they're Good Germans. According to a statement from MIT, "As reported to us by authorities, Ms. Simpson's actions were reckless and understandably created alarm at the airport."

Of course, if she was Arab or black, there'd be no question of charges; they'd already be digging five pounds of lead out of her at the morgue.

Eeek! After a meteor strike in Peru, those visiting the site -- a noxious hole full of a bubbling, seething stew of rotting organic matter -- report falling ill. Soon they will die, only to rise up again as shambling undead hungry for the brains of the living!

TheStar.com | News | 2 charged after woman set on fire

Tue, 11 Sep 2007 10:48:49 -0700

A panhandler killed someone in Toronto recently, and there were literally hundreds of newspaper articles about it, with lots of chest-thumping by politicians, police, and the media about "doing something" about the evil that is asking for help on the street. Yesterday, two men doused a homeless woman in gasoline or lighter fluid and set her on fire. There are a small handful of short articles about it in some of the more vaguely left-leaning papers like the Toronto Star -- and the only comment the police have is, "It's part of the transient lifestyle. Unfortunately that's the city we live in."

Translation: "Oh well, another no-good worthless bum set on fire. Ho hum. Pass the donuts."

Things are getting very ugly very quickly.

Amerikan airports will now sport "Behaviour Detection Officers" whose job it is to decide who the terrorists are based on their facial expression. Frown or grimace and you could find yourself on your way to Camp X-ray as an "enemy combatant." No, this is not a joke. Has anyone told the Amerikans that 1984 is not an instruction manual?

Kyla Ebberts was thrown off a Southwest Airlines flight in San Diego for wearing "inappropriate" attire (picture at right). She was told, "This is a family airline. You're too provocative to fly on this plane." Damned if I know why the Amerikans and the Taliban are shooting at each other, because as near as I can tell they have exactly the same beliefs.

Hospitals in Edmonton are reporting the worst blood shortage in a decade as a result of declining blood donations. Doctors speculate in this article that it's a result of growing selfishness in the Kanadian people. We see here yet another piece of evidence showing the rapid Amerikanization of Kanada, no doubt due to saturation by the Amerikan media.

There is nowhere to run, folks. I hear comrades here in Kanada telling me they're planning to flee to Europe. I hear Amerikan leftists saying they want to flee to Kanada. We have become so accustomed to losing that people no longer even dream about winning. Our backs are to the wall, people, and if you don't start fighting the growing world fascism, the ever-increasing greed and short-sighted selfishness, struggle will become far more brutal and bloody than it is right now.

The fight starts in your own backyard -- right here, right now.

Two members of a running club in New Haven, Connecticut, have been charged with felonies for drawing chalk arrows and sprinkling flour in an IKEA parking lot as part of the track for a racing club. A lunatic who represents the mayor's office in New Haven says, "You see powder connected by arrows and chalk, you never know. It could be a terrorist, it could be something more serious."

Because, you know, terrorists always draw chalk arrows pointing at what they're doing.

A Roman Catholic church in the Dutch city of Tilburg is refusing to stop ringing their bells every morning at 7:15 am, despite repeated complaints by residents and a $5000 euro fine being levied daily by the town. The smug, self-righteous response of the church? "People who are bothered by the bell should know that we pray for them in the mass."

Truro in gay flag flap

Tue, 07 Aug 2007 15:53:57 -0700

The town of Truro, Nova Scotia, is refusing to fly a rainbow flag at city hall for Pride Day. According to the mayor, "God says I'm not in favour of that and I have to look at it and say, I guess I'm not either." Then he adds that flying the rainbow flag might open the door for others: "If I have a group of people that says pedophiles should have rights, do we raise their flag too?"

Anyone who thinks Kanada isn't just as racist, homophobic and hateful as Amerika has her or his head in the sand.

LiveLeak.com - Raw: Vermont Police Taser Anti-Development Protestors

Tue, 07 Aug 2007 12:31:56 -0700

Fascist stormtroopers in Vermont repeatedly taser a non-resisting protestor in this video for the "crime" of sitting quietly in an empty field, demonstrating against a developer. I can't tell you how many times I've seen bullshit like this with my own eyes. Anyone who tells you cops are anything but sneering, two-bit bullies with a badge is either a lying fascist or a gullible liberal.
