ALBANIA CHEERS AMERICA

While anti-Americanism is very strong and on the rise in Europe, nations that suffered from dictatorships or ethnic cleansings usually tend to be very friendly at the United States. Albania welcomed President Bush, as it remembers that America contributed a lot to its liberation by helping in the fight against Soviet Union and rescuing Kosovo’s Albanians from the regime of deceased Serbian Communist and war criminal Slobodan Milosevic. While I’m not sure if independence for Kosovo is a good thing, I think that the photos below just show the genuine gratitude of a people who suffered communism and, in Kosovo, has been slaughtered in its thousands by the pro-Russian Serbs.

Kudos to Albania!

QAEDA LEADER IN IRAQ MAYBE DEAD, WOMAN STONED TO DEATH,TURKS FOR SECULARISM,SANDMONKEY QUITS BLOGGING

Al Qaeda’s leader in Iraq may have gone to meet the 72 virgins Satan.

A woman in northern Iraq was stoned to death in another ‘honor’ killing. Here is video of the woman after being stoned. Please, be warned that it’s graphic and may be very disturbing to some viewers.Click through the link only if you think you can handle it.

But there’s also a good news, as people marched in North Iraq in order to protest against ‘honor’ killings.

My article at Real Clear Politics: The Human Cost of Iran’s Islamist Rule

For the first time in years, there is a diplomatic crisis between Italy and the United States over five Taliban thugs whose release was demanded by the Italian govt to the Afghan one, in exchange for the release of an Italian leftist reporter. As I wrote previously, the Left caved into the Taliban blackmail (it wants the Dark Ages terrorists to attend the International Conference on Afghanistan!). According to unconfirmed claims by the intelligence service, the Taliban freed might be much more. Also, Foreign Minister D’alema said he had told the US about such a deal, during his meetings in Washington. The State Dept. dismissed those claims as “lies”. Italy is not reliable, his FM even tells lies about his official meetings. Don’t worry, because this gov’t is not going to last long. In the meantime, the US is rightly upset.

To sweeten your weekend, a song I chose from my jukebox. ‘How Do You Keep The Music Playing’, sang by the couple Willy Chirino and Lissette, famous Cuban-born singers.

UPDATE 02/21/07 : Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi resigns.  The Left lost at the Senate over a vote on the Italian Afghanistan mission. Now it’s up to the President of the Republic to accept the resignation (he’ll most probably do so) and decide whether to schedule new elections (I don’t think he’ll do so, as he is from a party of the current gov’t). If elections are scheduled, they might be held in a few months. And, according to all polls, the Right would win easily. I don’t believe the right will change things (governments in Italy are known for breaking promises), but at least Italy would be again part of the Coalition of the Willing in the War on Terror and a faithful ally of the US and Israel, instead of Hezbollah and Hamas. This, even though many Italians have strong prejudices against America and Israel and tend to be sympathetic to the Palestinians. I will keep you up-to-date.

Buone nuove: Clementina Forleo potrebbe finire sotto processo a Brescia

Apparently, the Italian government sees nothing wrong in talking to  Hezbollah. Foreign Minister Massimo D’Alema, whose  government faces a crisis of popular legitimacy according to all polls, told Prodi that “unless there’s unity on the foreign policy, the government has to resign and schedule new elections”. Those who are familiar with Italian politics know that the Left is split on every topic, from economy to the very same foreign policy. Even being right-leaning, I don’t consider myself that follower of the European Right, let alone the Italian one, as I see them as very immature when it comes to reform the economic, pension and job market system. But, I am counting the days when this anti-American government comes to an end. And it’s almost sure that, if elections were held today, they would lose big time.

World public opinion still refuses to face the reality.West-Islam civilisations clash rejected. It’s the Islamic terrorists who declared this clash.

The first Congress of the Independent Libraries organized by the Assembly to Promote Civil Society is underway across Cuba, and despite the brutal repression the librarians are facing. The Assembly to Promote the Civil Society is civil society coalition of 365 Cuban opposition movements that fight peacefully for democratic and regime change in the island. From Octuber 10, 2006, to February 2007, a meeting of the 152 independent libraries is taking place in numerous Cuban towns and cities. They are informing the population about the goals of the civil desobedience and non-cooperation campaigns named “Yo no coopero, yo si quiero el cambio” (I don’t cooperate with the repressive authorities, I want the change). The official motto is “We are gathering for democracy”. Banned books, reviews, leaflets are being distribuited to the neighbors of the libraries where the meetings are taking place and to the population at large. There will be special events with youths and children, too.

He called the opponent a worm and a disgusting mercenary.MIGUEL CABRERA PEREZ, who has been ratified delegate of the Cuban regime in several occasions in the past, participated in a formal meeting called for the “informants of Zone #168”, on June of 2005.In this meeting CABRERA PEREZ encouraged other informants in the group to brutally beat up Antunez Fuentes and have the political police pick up the opponent afterwards. That in doing so there would not be police retaliation because Antunez Fuentes was a “supposed” dangerous counter revolutionary. At the present time this man walks the streets of the United States of America. What are we to do? WE ASK THAT YOU FIND HIM!”

They always bring flowers in their hands,compared to the Castroite mobs who are armed with batons.  These women represent love and peace compared to the hatred and violence which are part of the communist ideology. The ladies are becoming more popular as many more Cubans are knowing about them.

Palermo, Sicily (Italy). Italian police rescued a 19-year-old Tunisian girl. The girl was found at her house with her face filled with blood due to her father’s beatings. She said to the police that she couldn’t go out of home nor go in the balcony. She was monitored 24/7 by her father and another male relative, who used to beat her up often. The two men have been arrested and the girl is now hospitalized for the injuries suffered after being beaten. The news is here, but in Italian only.

Cuban freedom fighters bravely defied the regime and walked in the streets of a Havana neighbor. Then, they (members of the Committee to Help the Dissidence, affiliated to the Brigade 2506, and the Movement to Rescue Freedom and Democracy) returned home by shouting slogans such as “Freedom for all the political prisoners”; “Freedom for the Cuban people”; “We want the change!” and “I do not cooperate with the dictatorship”). The activists were later joined by a group of ordinary Cubans, who asked not to reveal their names.News, in Spanish, here

Dr. Eloy A. González: Médicos Rehenes en Cuba

It seems that half world has not yet realized that a new war has been declared by the arab and Islamic nations against Israel. This war is aimed to the total destruction of the Jewish state. Let’s not forget that this time these nations’ regimes have the atomic bomb and that they might launch it sooner than we expect. Israel is at war, a war he has never sought. But now, Mr. Olmert, you’re facing a choice that could have important consequences: either you act or Israel faces another Holocaust, this time with Islamic nations assaulting it with chemical weapons. Of course, so far israel has wisely decided to defend itself. But, this defense, Mr. Olmert, must not be restrained. No, it must be STRONG. It has to ignore the European fools’ and U.N.’s cries of outrage, because the fate of the Jews of Israel is at stake. No restraint: Israel has to go ahead until Hebzollah, Hamas, the Fatah, Islamic Jihad, etc, are destroyed once for all. I’m sure that, like the previous wars the arab and islamic nations declared against Israel, they will lose this war too. But at the end of this war there should be no more Hezbollah, Hamas,Islamic Jihad, etc. The true peace, Mr. Olmert, passes through the use of unrestrained strenght as a response to this new declaration of war. Olmert, please do it for the survival of Israel and the rescue of the Jews. And do it also for the world peace and a better future even for the Arab populations who sooner or later will want to get rid of the monsters.

July 13th also marks the first anniversary of the new repressive wave by Castro against peaceful dissidents. All begun with the arrest of peaceful freedom fighters who were commemorating the brutal murder of Cuban rafters by the regime on that day in 1994. On July 13, 2005, some freedom fighters took to the streets to peacefully demand justice. Some were relatives and friends of that tragedy. After distributing leaflets to the people and launching flowers in the see at the Havana’s Malecon seaside, a mob of Castroite paramilitary militias started their “act of repudiation” by beating the freedom fighters, insulting them and shouting pro-Castro slogans. It’s to note that the mob was made up of plainclothes agents of the communist militias,the communist party and the political police. NO ONE belongs to the suffering Cuban people. Since then, acts of repudiation and repression against peaceful dissidents are a daily event. Yet, the more repression, the more strenght the dissident movements gain and the more popular they become, as even their neighbors offer them solidarity and refuse to participate in the acts of repudiation. Please, See the video of the peaceful demonstration I spoke about above, and the following repression by the mob. The new repressive wave followed the decision, by the European Union with pressure from Zapatero’s Spain, to suspend the sanctions against Castro and strenghten “dialogue” with it, whose results has been disastrous for the freedom-loving Cuban people.

French defender Gallas: “I want to beat up Materazzi“. Congratulations, France. You show us how you ‘accept’ a defeat in sport..More from this ‘civilized’ person: “Sometimes, when you are provoked, you would like to kill the person who insulted you”.

Zidane a hero? No, he is an idiot,a billionaire idiot. And so is Blatter and FIFA who awarded him with the Golden Ball even after attacking Materazzi. Sorry, as an Italian and as a honest person who doesn’t like to turn violent people into heroes, I consider Zidane as an idiot. Read my post at Publius Pundit

Zidane was well-known in Italy for his violence during the matches. Below is an archive photo showing him, when he played in Juventus, doing the same thing he did to Materazzi. And this is an “hero”? You be the judge.

Gloria Amaya Gonzalez, an example of courage. 78 years old, mother of the Sigler Amaya brothers, some still in prison, other released for health problems and some of them fled into the exile. Her house hosts the meetings of the Independent Movement for an Alternative Option and she is, along with her sons, often victim of the brutal acts of repudiation. She was savagely beaten several times, and now she sits on a wheelchair. Castroites attempted to kill her and her sons. The mobs even used schoolchildren to threat to set her house on fire. They used tear gases against her son Miguel, now living in Elizabeth, New Jersey. She’s a lifelong anti-communist activist. Read more about her  here, in Spanish.
