Claude Anet on the Consequences for Jews Living Amongst a “Fanatical and Hostile” Persian Shiite Population, Circa 1905 Andrew Bostom ****

http://bit.ly/1c0g0tT

Jean Schopfer, nom de plume Claude Anet (May 28, 1868—January 9, 1931), was a tennis player who reached two singles finals at the Amateur French Championships, winning in 1892 and losing in 1893. Schopfer/ Anet’s Through Persia in a Motor-Car, published in English translation during 1907, chronicled his ~1905 first hand observations of the chronic plight of Iran’s Jews under Iran’s Qajar dynasty Shiite theocracy, despite the alleged “Constitutional movement” era reforms. Notice the continued application of Shiite Islam’s heinous “najas” or impurity regulations, based upon the perceived physical (as well as spiritual) “contamination” of the non-Muslim infidel Jews.

Living in the midst of a fanatical and hostile population, Jews in Persia are reduced to the last extremity of degradation. Nearly all trades are forbidden to them; everything they touch is considered defiled. They cannot even live in the house of a Mussulman. There is very little justice in Persia for anybody—for the Jews there is none at all. Every possible exaction is practiced on them; nobody takes their part; and they live in appalling poverty, while their moral and physical degradation is beyond description.

NSA’S PORN TRACKERS? JED BABBIN

http://spectator.org/articles/57079/nsa%E2%80%99s-porn-trackers According to the chairmen of the Senate and House Intelligence Committees, Americans are less safe from terrorist attacks than they were a year or two ago. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Cal) said, according to a Washington Post report, that terrorist groups are more numerous and have more sophisticated, hard-to-detect bombs. That story included Cong. Mike Rogers’s (R-MI) […]

The ObamaCare Nightmare — on The Glazov Gang

http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/frontpagemag-com/israel-betrayed-on-the-glazov-gang/

This week’s Glazov Gang was joined by Dwight Schultz, a Hollywood actor, Ann-Marie Murrell, the National Director of PolitiChicks.tv and Monty Morton, a Walking Encyclopedia of Facts.

The Gang gathered to discuss The ObamaCare Nightmare. The discussion occurred in Part I and focused on the catastrophe that Obama’s health care plan is inflicting on America.

Watch both parts of the two-part series below:

Part I:

A New Reign of Terror in North Korea Posted By Ryan Mauro

http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/ryan-mauro/a-new-reign-of-terror-in-north-korea/print/ The North Korean regime announced the execution of its second-in-command yesterday; the latest casualty in a far-reaching purge by Kim Jong-Un. The rift may increase the chances that the world’s largest exporter of WMDs and persecutor of Christians will collapse, but that scenario opens up dangers of its own. The excellent One Free Korea blog says that the execution […]

HUMBERTO FONTOVA: THE OBAMA/CASTRO HANDSHAKE- A CONFIRIMATION

http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/humberto-fontova/the-obama-castro-handshake-a-confirmation/print/ At the funeral extravaganza commemorating a black “political prisoner” President Obama went out of his way to smilingly shake hands with the jailer and torturer of the most and longest suffering black political prisoners in modern history. That’s for starters. The dictator the U.S. president was greeting, and almost bowing before, is also holding […]

DANIEL GREENFIELD: SANTA’S WHITE PRIVILEGE

http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/santas-white-privilege/print/ The left accuses capitalism of commercializing holidays. Meanwhile the left politicizes holidays. Thanksgiving and Columbus Day are celebrations of genocide. The Fourth of July is a reminder that America was founded by rich white men who didn’t want to pay taxes. Memorial Day is perfect for anti-war statements and Mother’s Day is for denouncing […]

ALAN CARUBA: THE PRESIDENT’S MOMENT OF TRUTH ABOUT HIS LIES

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/obamas-moment-of-truth-about-his-lies?f=puball I think the bulk of the U.S. population, particularly likely voters in 2014, have reached the point where they no longer believe anything President Obama says. It coincides with what may be the lowest level of confidence in the U.S. Congress. Its Democratic members all voted for Obamacare without reading it and the harm […]

GAMALIEL ISAAC: THE TRAVESTY CALLED COMMON CORE STANDARDS PART 111

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/obamacore-the-travesty-called-the-common-core-standards-part-iii?f=puball David Coleman, one of the architects of Common Core said he believes there is “a massive social injustice in this country” and that education is “the engine of social justice.” Common Core Literature and Writing books by Zaner-Bloser teach social activism to 6 year old children in first grade.  Children are taught how to […]

DIANA WEST: WILL CONGRESS REIN IN THIS IMPERIAL PRESIDENCY?

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/will-congress-rein-in-this-imperial-presidency An extraordinary thing happened in Washington, D.C., this week. Appearing before a House Judiciary subcommittee, several constitutional scholars forthrightly and unmistakably outlined the leading danger to the survival of our constitutional republic: the usurpation of powers by President Barack Hussein Obama. This wasn’t just me, a non-lawyer, perplexed by how out-of-whack constitutional checks and […]

LIES ALL THE WAY DOWN: The “Keep your Plan” Lie Just Scratches the Surface of the Deception. JONAH GOLDBERG

http://www.nationalreview.com/node/366206/print ‘Obamacare was sold on a trinity of lies.” That ornate phrase, more suitable for the Book of Revelations or perhaps the next installment of Game of Thrones, comes from my National Review colleague Rich Lowry. But I like it. Most people know the first deception in the triumvirate of deceit: “If you like your […]
