Haroon Siddiqui Unwittingly Condemns Jihad and by Implication Mohammed

In a oped at the Toronto Star, Siddiqui: Old foreign policy problems haunt Obama’s new term, Haroon Siddiqui unwittingly condemns jihad. In a the middle of a long essays smearing any attempt to deal with muslim terrorism as colonism Siddiqui has this gem.

The jihadists invoke Islam but they are brigands and terrorists, living off smuggling and extracting ransom from hostages.

The problem is that jihad and jihadists, from from the day that Mohammed went out with his gang to loot and rape, has primarily been about brigands, the terror they engender and the crimes they commit.

Where To Get Bombed In London

Bomb Sight is the perfect tool for the time traveler to London during the Blitz. Bombs are given their times and locations. It is remarkable how evenly distributed are the bomb sites across London. Looking at the above map of the bombs that fell on Westminster you could imagine in retrospect that the famous bunkers that were built, Churchill War Rooms, were probably not needed. For me the scariest thing is how the government bunkers of WWII presaged the "government continuity plans" in the nuclear age.

Buy Your own Reproduction Panzer on Ebay

Earlier this year I posted a story about a Russian built Panzer replica, Modern Day Russians Build German Panzer. The above is from Ebay, German Panzer V "Panther" Ausf A Full Size Tank - MAKE AN OFFER! There is a number of videos attached which are listed below. 

However you have only 9 days, or less, to buy this Panzer.

Look how this video seems to be from an alternate timeline.

The Roman Equivalent of Afghanistan = Scotland

According to the movie Centurion, it was another "asshole of the world". Take a look a some the screen shots. It all very grim isn't it.

A Good General

I never saw generals so beloved of their men. 

Quintus Dias, Centurion

In training he is our scholar. At a feast he is our father. In the ranks he is our brother. And in battle he is the god pray to save our souls.

Unused Propaganda and the Earlier Drafts

I had always assumed that was an example of WWII British propaganda that has its uses in that war along with aircraft recognition  posters, "loose lips sink ships" and "is this journey really necessary?'. Not forgetting thsee misogynistic anti-VD posters,"she may look clean". I didn't know that these posters were locked away only to used in event of "aquatic feline" aka Unternehmen Seelöwe. In the nature of advertising there were earlier versions of this poster, "Keep Calm and Carry On", that didn't fully meet with client approval as seen below. It makes one wonder about what Strangelovian materials were created "in the event of" for the edification of those who remained.

The images / screen captures of the earlier versions of KCaCO are from the documentary Ian Hislop's Stiff Upper Lip - An Emotional History Of Britain.

I Don't Want To Set the World on Fire After the World Burns

Somehow I have ended up on the song "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire". I previously came across this song in the short Logorama. It was the song I needed to hear today. There are several straight version of this song on youtube, one of which is the just a shot of the 78 rpm record going a round and around. The version below is from the game Fallout 3. Anything involving nuclear war is not going to be positive.

Not Much of Difference Between Nazis and Commiess

(mugshot of Witold Pilecki taken in Auschwitz [1943])

(mugshot of Witold Plecki as taken in from Mokotów prison [1947])

While ambling around in Wikipedia I come across the story of Witold Pilecki, pictured in both sets of mugshots, before from his wiki page. A Polish career officer, he volunteered to be imprisoned in Auschwitz, then escaped. After WWII he was killed in Soviet occupied Poland by the Soviets after being "convicted" by Polish Commies.

The reason I see them as the same is because they killed/kill and jailed/jail in similar ways. They had/have the same enemies. They made/make the same enemies. In this case they jailed the same man.

Nazism is totally discredited today. Its only adherents the twisted stupid and the dumb violent. Communism in all its doctrinal and regional varieties is able to attract some good, intelligent, sincere, people who believe in the virtues of Communism. It is the some individual commies personal virtues that blinds us to the sickness of their political philosophy.

It is time that people treat communists with the same mixture of disgust and pity that neo-nazis are treated.

And communists, communist movements, communist terrorist groups, and communist governments  are still killing people today.

Recruiting Poster for Dogs

If you ever trapped under a

ton of rubble, I promise to sniff you out.

I promise to be worth ever cent of the $10,00

that it took to train me. 

I promise to ignore all other more fascinating smells

and concentrate on the scent of live humans.

I promise to go about my work with a wagging tail, 

even if my paws get sore.

promise to never five up.

Text from ad above tramscribed because

 it is hard to make out even in larger image. 

From the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation
which did not a copy of their print ad on their website.

In the comic Get Fuzzy Satchel Pooch reveals that his father was a sheep dog. As Satchel, a not very bright dog, explains a sheep dog is a smart dog with an intellectually demanding job. Satchel would probably consider search and rescue dogs in similar high regard. Curiously search and rescue is now the most prestigious job in many modern militaries. It is not a coincidence that Prince William is a search and rescue helicopter pilot.

New Light Sabres For Sale

I came across this ad at Cracked. The company, Ultra Sabres, sells light sabres and kits to make them as well as parts. I don't i think I'd prefer a sword that can really kill and maim. However as non lethal toys they sound like a good idea.

Amnestry International (Belgium) Slimes Darth Vader

I am going to defend Darth Vader from the accusations of sleaze in this ad. Darth Vader is a legitimate representative of a government that is currently suffering a minor insurgency. He is not our, western civilization's, enemy today and is unlikely our enemy tomorrow. On the other hand I fully despise companies that enter into commercial relations with our enemies be they communist and/or muslim tyrannies. Amnesty International (Belgium) should recognize that there is lot worse groups out there then arms manufacturers and the legitimate governments of Galaxies far, far away.
