Running Away From Your Troubles Was NOT An Option

I've been screaming about white fraud for so long - and since nobody cared about it when I have - they couldn't even get me to roll my eyes over the Mandela funeral fake-hand-sign guy. It's gotten to be so bad, unless I see a white person working with my own two eyes, I just assume they're living off money earned from slavery:

   Beyond Beale’s individual fate, his case raises larger questions about how he was able to get away with his admitted fraud for so long, according to federal and congressional investigators. Two new reports by the EPA inspector general’s office conclude that top officials at the agency “enabled” Beale by failing to verify any of his phony cover stories about CIA work, and failing to check on hundreds of thousands of dollars paid him in undeserved bonuses and travel expenses -- including first-class trips to London where he stayed at five-star hotels and racked up thousands in bills for limos and taxis.

Until he retired in April after learning he was under federal investigation, Beale, an NYU grad with a masters from Princeton, was earning a salary and bonuses of $206,000 a year, making him the highest paid official at the EPA. He earned more money than Gina McCarthy, the agency’s administrator and, for years, his immediate boss, according to agency documents.

In September, Beale, who served as a “senior policy adviser” in the agency’s Office of Air and Radiation, pled guilty to defrauding the U.S. government out of nearly $900,000 since 2000. Beale perpetrated his fraud largely by failing to show up at the EPA for months at a time, including one 18-month stretch starting in June 2011 when he did “absolutely no work,” as Kern, Beale’s lawyer, acknowledged in his court filing.

To explain his long absences, Beale told agency officials -- including McCarthy -- that he was engaged in intelligence work for the CIA, either at agency headquarters or in Pakistan. At one point he claimed to be urgently needed in Pakistan because the Taliban was torturing his CIA replacement, according to Sullivan.

“Due to recent events that you have probably read about, I am in Pakistan,” he wrote McCarthy in a Dec. 18, 2010 email. “Got the call Thurs and left Fri. Hope to be back for Christmas ….Ho, ho, ho.”

In fact, Beale had no relationship with the CIA at all. Sullivan, the EPA investigator, said he confirmed Beale didn’t even have a security clearance. He spent much of the time he was purportedly working for the CIA at his Northern Virginia home riding bikes, doing housework and reading books, or at a vacation house on Cape Cod.

“He’s never been to Langley (the CIA’s Virginia headquarters),” said Sullivan. “The CIA has no record of him ever walking through the door.”

Nor was that Beale’s only deception, according to court documents. In 2008, Beale didn’t show up at the EPA for six months, telling his boss that he was part of a special multi-agency election-year project relating to “candidate security.” He billed the government $57,000 for five trips to California that were made purely “for personal reasons,” his lawyer acknowledged. (His parents lived there.) He also claimed to be suffering from malaria that he got while serving in Vietnam. According to his lawyer’s filing, he didn’t have malaria and never served in Vietnam. He told the story to EPA officials so he could get special handicap parking at a garage near EPA headquarters.

Music To My Ears

In 2009, Alexa Ray Joel (daughter of Christie Brinkley and Billy Joel) tried committing suicide by overdosing on “Traumeel” pills.

Fortunately for Miss Joel, Traumeel pills are homeopathic. So she did not have to induce vomiting, get her stomach pumped or take any other poison-control measures because she was never in the slightest bit of danger (at least, not from the pills). As a toxicologist at NYU Medical Center explained: “Nothing would happen because there's nothing in it. There's no active ingredient. There's nothing in these pills."

“That girl who was shot by the Taliban. She is the antidote. We need people like that. I get inspired by people like that.” 

-Billy Joel

 

Ted Cruz Speaking In Tongues And Handling Snakes

I kept talking about Heaven on Earth, Heaven on Earth, but nobody's catching my Heaven on Earths:

The media is talking about the shutdown in mostly secular terms. Big mistake. This is a religion story and to ignore that aspect is like trying to report on the Taliban without mentioning Islam. The media blame the Tea Party and call them crazy. But the media has missed the real story. It’s not about the Tea Party’s politics, it’s about what made the Tea Party’s politics so crazy to begin with. This is a religion story to end all religion stories.

The reason we don’t get the straight story from the media is because of undue respect for religion on the one hand and a refusal to believe that religion is still so important on the other hand. Deference waits upon scorn. And between these two attitudes the real story gets ignored.

I wondered why everybody's ignoring my Heaven on Earths,...

 

Boom, Boom, Boom, Baby, Boom, Boom, Boom!

One of the reasons we don't pay much mind to what Liberals say about the military is because we served - badly - but for long enough (four years) to be able to say whether or not our men in uniform are accurately portrayed by critics, which is rarely the case. Just as they called the Iraq war "lost" without waiting for the outcome, we're pretty sure the same can be said about their thoughts on Afghanistan - that because the Russians got stuck there, we will as well. What's the flaw in their thinking? Duh:

We're not the Russians!

Case in point, the new XM25 super gun, above. The Russians didn't have it. The Taliban can't defend against it. And we've got it. Some are calling it a "game changer". We think it's "game over". This thing is not only outrageously powerful - it looks cool as shit - and anything that looks this bad-ass to American soldiers is bound to be used with gusto. So go get 'em, boys! Give 'em hell. And we'll be waiting to cheer you when you get home.

The ‘Muslim Abu Ghraib’ (Warning: Graphic)

"As Siraj Haqqani moved from village to village, rounding up the sons of poor Muslim families to fight for the Taliban and Al Qaeda, he offered the villagers free medical care. He even sent his physician, Dr. Hassan Duraz to conduct the clinics. There was a horrific catch, though. Duraz was a monster.

He arrived in each village with Siraj Haqqani’s uncle, Ibrahim, and Siraj’s cousin, Ishak, in tow. With them, the Haqqanis brought along their own very special tools of terror – a video camera and an eye for human flesh. You see, with Haqqani healthcare, you not only received a medical exam, if you were an attractive young girl, you also got a screen test. And heaven forbid you passed.

For those women and girls unfortunate enough to catch the good doctor’s fancy, it was show time. The Haqqani uncle and cousin would be brought into the exam room, they would set up their video equipment, and Duraz would drop his trousers and go to work.

The Haqqanis and Duraz sexually assaulted poor women throughout the tribal regions and captured every moment of their degradation and humiliation on video to enjoy over and over again.

Times were good for the Haqqani pornography ring. Their enterprise thrived until someone slipped up and word leaked out. In the blink of an eye, Siraj Haqqani was in big trouble.

And what’s a good and pious Muslim warrior to do when his moral authority and the very existence of his terror network are at stake? There’s only one answer of course. Kill everyone involved. (Everyone that is, except for family.)  And that’s exactly what Siraj Haqqani did.

Haqqani not only killed the women in the video, but he also killed his own physician, Dr. Duraz. After all, dead men (and dead women for that matter) tell no tales, right?

The only thing left to do was to visit the Haqqani home theater and destroy all the evidence. With that task complete, Siraj Haqqani could sit back and relax. There was just one problem. He didn’t get all of the tapes. My contact managed to rescue some.

For the record, through independent sources in Afghanistan and Pakistan, I have confirmed that the women who appear herein, as well as Dr. Duraz, have all indeed been murdered."

He Can Rap - Even Act - But He's Still A Dummy

Watch Mos Def as he performs the role of "Left-wing thinker" here. He flails as he tries every trick in the book, but Christopher Hitchens isn't having any of it - from him, Bill Maher, or the stupid audience that probably thinks it's been transported back to Rome in the Coliseum, or France in the Middle Ages (or France today) when applauding the worst aspects of human nature - as long as they seemed "rebellious" - was common. But Christopher Hitchens ain't scared of anybody, or of offending those who insist on, either, respecting identity politics or being nonsensical - compare his stance to Salmon Rushdie's quiet cowardice - and Hitchens is more than willing to go to the mat for objective reality and what's right. We don't always agree with him, but Christopher Hitchens is still one to be admired - and we do - and more power to him.

Finally, this video is a sad statement on our "culture" today, but also a wonderful example of 1) why we're doing so badly as a country 2) how sorry and incoherent the left is in a debate, and 3) how refreshing it is to see someone - anyone - applying The Macho Response.

The Clean-Up Woman

"We inherited a law enforcement mentality where you punished the crime after it happened, instead of trying to prevent the crime...

...We inherited,...the failed Camp David Accords, and as a result the Second Intifada. Yasser Arafat was in power, stealing people blind and working with terrorists,...

We inherited a Lebanon with Syrian forces there for 30 years. Now, Syrian forces are out. There is a democratic government in power -- yes, being challenged by Hezbollah -- but the prime minister has survived and they've elected a president. The Lebanese army is out in the country for the first time. And they are friendly to the United States.

...Saddam Hussein dragged the region into a war and lost over a million lives. It dragged the U.S. into war. He murdered his own people, terrorized his neighbors and sought weapons of mass destruction. Today? You have a multiethnic, multiconfessional democracy that isn't threatening its neighbors.

So, I just don't understand this argument that it is so much worse. I always say, 'as opposed to what?' Syrian forces in Lebanon and no democracy. Saddam Hussein in power, threatening his neighbors and us. The Taliban in Afghanistan. The Palestinians and Israelis in an open intifada. That was the better Middle East? And it wasn't as if politics wasn't going on -- it was just going on in radical mosques and the madrassas, whereas now it is going on in the open. And yes, once in a while the Hamases of the world will win, but frankly I'd rather have them out in electoral politics trying to explain how they will fix the sewer system than running the streets with their faces covered, being the glorious resistance.

Is it done? No. But we'd have never gotten on this different path without Iraq."
