North Java coast is the best place for Chinese culture acculturation. You can see from cities such as Batavia, Gresik, Tuban, Madura, Semarang, and Cirebon. At least there is other culture beside Chinese that give those city "the colour of life". There are four big groups In Batavia: Betawi, China, Arabian, and Europe. You also can see those culture in Cirebon.
Cirebon is not only name without history. The name Cirebon is come from the word 'Caruban' means place to meet or intersecting street. Some said Cirebon is come from the word 'carub' in Javanese means mixture. By Tome Pires, the word "caruban" was recorded as Choroboarn and because of the Sunda influence which always have "Ci-" prefix (means water), then the name was changed became Cirebon (Ci=water and rebon=Shrimp), Shrimp river. You can see it from the souvenir. Always made from shrimp, whether the food or handicraft.
There're only few Indonesian people make Cirebon as a tour destination. Whereas, this city has lots of tourists area, especially for the historical relics and the food. At least, there are 10 foods which difficult to find, available in here.
At Jamblang, there are lots of buildings in lines with Chinese style still exist. Those buildings now become the place to sell or workshop. But basically, all of those buildings seem to be sleazy. This area was lengthwise just like the watercourse. A note at one of the old buildings wall at Jamblang inscribed 1833. There's possibility the most expansion going in early 19 century.
There are Three keraton (kingdom) at Cirebon and they are brothers. We tow the story about Keraton after saw the Gunung Jati cemetery. Gunung Jati was the name of Sunan (title for the holy men who first brought Islam to Java) titled Gunung Jati, and his real name is Faletehan or Syarif Hidayat Fatahilah. He is a Chinese muslim. Later, the established of sultanate at Cirebon is his interfere.
At the end of Demak kingdom, Chinese settle at the north java coast is improving quite big. Most of them came from Yunnan and their religions are muslim. One of the famous Ulama(Muslim Scholars) was Haji Tan Eng Hoat. He was the one who lead Fatahilah to establish the kingdom of Cirebon.
Thereby, the Sultanate of Cirebon in 1522 established by Haji Tan Eng Hoat otherwise called Mohamad Ifdil Hanafi together with Sunan Gunung Jati. Sunan Gunung Jati become the first king for Kasepuhan. And then in 1553, Sunan Gunung Jati married the daughter of Haji Tan Eng Hoat, Ong Tin also known as Princess Chinese. We can find their graves at Gunung Jati funeral. The funeral called Wukir Sapta. It's pretty good, surrounded by white wall with Chinese porcelain.
Back to Keraton! There are three big Keraton, Kasepuhan, Kanoman, and Kacirebonan. Two of them were Chinese–Java architecture (Kasepuhan and Kanoman). While Kacirebonan has Europe architecture (Indische). Jus like Java Keraton, these three Keraton were facing to the North complete with hall and mosque at the west side.
Keraton Kasepuhan has holy mosque : Agung Sang Cipta Rasa, also become the sunan Gunung Jati cemetery. Keraton and the other support facilities, such as mosque, Regol, and Pendopo have hundreds of Chinese ornament, such as porcelain, furniture, and jewelry. In this area, the guide will welcome mat you. You can listen to the guide about history and add your insight.
Do you love shopping? Here you go : Batik pesisiran had a great vogue in this city. An area called Trusmi, Plered, dedicate itself as the batik producer in central java. Start from di Jln. Panembahan and Jln. Buyut Trusmi.
There are two kind of Cirebon's batik : Batik Pesisir which influence by Chinese and Batik Keraton which influence by Hindu and Islam. Motif of Batik pesisir marked with the picture of flora and fauna, such as fish, trees, and leaves. While batik keraton motive marked as ornament such as stones (wadas), kereta singa barong (Lions train), naga seba (Dragon Seba), taman arum (arum park) and ayam alas (Chicken alas).
There are many other things you can search in Cirebon. This small city was ever be the center of economic development in java. Cirebon with the three culture, Cirebon with three keraton.
My friend recently comes back from Batavia. He shared his great experiences last night with me. Your full blog is related to his views. Now I am wishing to visit North Java coast soon.

WATCH: Insane Moment Dem Senator Asks Amy Coney Barrett if She Ever Sexually Assaulted Someone
I wonder if Sen. Hirono would ever ask these questions of the notoriously "handsy" Vice President Joe Biden?
Just when you thought today's Senate questioning of Amy Coney Barrett by Democrats couldn't get any more ridiculous, Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono actually asked the Supreme Court nominee—a Catholic mother of seven children—if she ever sexually assaulted someone.
Hirono began her ludicrous questions by citing a 2017 interview with Chief Justice John Roberts where he stated the judiciary is "not immune" from issues of sexual assault.
The senator said to "ensure the fitness" for any nominee to a lifetime appointment, she asks each appointee two questions.
"Since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors, or committed any physical or verbal harassment or assault of a sexual nature?" Hirono asked.
"No, Senator Hirono," Barrett responded.
"Have you ever faced discipline or entered into a settlement related to this kind of conduct?" Hirono then asked.
"No, Senator," Barrett said.
Here's resident Senate lunatic, Mazie Hirono asking Amy Coney Barrett "Have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors… or committed assault of a sexual nature?"
Amy's kids just watched their Mom get asked if she's a rapist. Pure evil. pic.twitter.com/5qv80cqcuE
— Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) October 13, 2020
The Daily Caller points out that Hirono previously announced in 2018 that she would ask all Supreme Court nominees these questions.
In a January 2018 tweet, Hirono wrote, "Starting today, I'm asking nominees to our courts, under oath, whether or not they have a history of sexual assault or harassment. Like in other industries, our judges are in positions of power & #TimesUp."
A WHOPPING 56% of Americans Say They are Better off Today (Mid-Pandemic) than Under Obama-Biden
Gallup's most recent survey found a majority of voters said they are better off now than they were four years ago, while 32% said they are worse off
A recent Gallup survey found that a whopping 56 percent of Americans say they are better off now under President Trump–in the middle of a pandemic–than they were four years ago when President Obama was in office.
Gallup writes:
During his presidential campaign in 1980, Ronald Reagan asked Americans, "Are you better off today than you were four years ago?" Since then, this question has served as a key standard that sitting presidents running for reelection have been held to.
Gallup's most recent survey found a clear majority of registered voters (56%) saying they are better off now than they were four years ago, while 32% said they are worse off.
The Gallup Poll has just come out with the incredible finding that 56% of you say that you are better off today, during a pandemic, than you were four years ago (OBiden). Highest number on record! Pretty amazing!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 9, 2020
Gallup compared the 56 percent number to 2012, during the Obama-Biden Administration when just 45 percent of Americans could say they felt they were better off. In 2004, 47 percent of Americans said they were better off and in 1992, that number was at 38 percent.
President Trump responded to the news, writing on Twitter, "The Gallup Poll has just come out with the incredible finding that 56% of you say that you are better off today, during a pandemic, than you were four years ago (Biden). The highest number on record! Pretty amazing!"
Far From Being "Dead," True Marxism Is Very Much Alive
The modern American left is more Marxist than the Soviet Union
In a recent podcast, I made the argument that Karl Marx, the philosopher who did not see himself primarily as a philosopher, remains one of the most widely referenced and extraordinarily influential writers over the past one hundred seventy years. In fact, when you take into account the more than one hundred million lives lost in his name, it is hard to argue that he hasn't been the most influential philosopher since the Communist Manifesto was first published in 1848.
Despite Marx's considerable influence, very few people who refer to him have read his work, and fewer still have any inkling as to what he actually wrote. This has led to a problem in two different ends of our population spectrum. Baby Boomers and older Americans tend to think that Marx died with the fall of the Soviet Union (not an actual Marxist project); Gen-Zers believe that his ideas will usher in a utopia.
The above misconceptions are creating a dangerous moment in American history right now as the self-proclaimed Marxist leadership of BLM, along with other forces within our country hostile to our founding precepts, seek a revolution to overthrow our system of government. This current movement in America is the closest to a true Marxist movement ever witnessed. Not academically perfect, but close enough.
That is why it is critical for every American to understand what Marx wrote, and why we need to fight back against this movement with every intellectual weapon we can wield. It isn't necessarily because Marx was an evil person. It is because he was wrong in his fundamental assumption about why communism would usher in the start of true human history.
THE BACKGROUND AND BUILDING BLOCKS OF MARXISM
Most people think that Marx "invented" communism. He didn't. Communist or communitarian political thought can be traced back far into antiquity. What Marx did, however, was to take these earlier theories of societies based on common property ownership, and translate their relevance for the industrial context he saw in the early 19th century. He (and his partner, Friedrich Engels) did this by embracing four philosophical concepts:
Dialectical process: A concept developed by Georg Friedrich Hegel that suggests that all things, including history, grudgingly and deliberately move forward through a mechanical and oppositional process in which conflict is inherent. Hegel's process, adopted and modified by Marx, has come to be described in terms of a thesis (the original term), which creates an opposing reaction (or antithesis), with the conflict between the two resolving itself by producing a "synthesis." This synthesis, in turn, becomes a new thesis—and so on. This dialectical process is said to continue until a final synthesis is reached.
Historicism: The belief that all social and cultural phenomena are determined by history. History for the historicist is not a simple recounting of what has happened in the past. Instead, history is "happening" with a purpose.
Determinism: The belief that all events are ultimately caused by forces external to the human will. (We are essentially pawns to history. "The die is cast" for each of us and all of us.)
Materialism: Nothing exists except matter, movements, and the modification of matter. Said in a more contemporary way, existence is about "stuff."
Communist thought is indebted to Plato, his attack on private property, and the idea that it "takes a village approach" with regard to raising children and perfecting society. (These ideas could be found in the BLM platform until this past week, when ostensibly for PR reasons, they decided to remove them.) The modern movement started in places like Prussia, France, and Spain in the 19th century during the Industrial Revolution. It is the French who coined both the terms "socialism" and "communism." These terms predate Marx's writings.
Marx said that communism was ultimately going to be the solution to the problem of history, that problem being scarcity. Scarcity, to Marx, was the inability for people to have their basic material needs and wants met by the production factors of society. Starting with the earliest and most primitive societies, man has faced scarcity. This made us productive creatures by our very nature and caused us to develop our ability to reason out of necessity in order to produce. (Whereas Descartes said, "I think, therefore I am," Marx might have said, "I am, so I need to think.")
Everything about history, to Marx, is directed toward satisfying human needs. In other words, Marx thinks that economics is the driving force of history. And that history moves forward in a clunky dialectical pattern, but it moves forward nonetheless, and its eventual path has already been determined. There are three "stages" of history that Marx identifies, which culminate in the inevitable fourth and final stage, communism. Marx was a fan of Charles Darwin (he dedicated his magnum opus, Das Kapital, to the recognized father of evolutionary theory). Marx believed we were "evolving" toward a more ideal and higher level of existence.
History's first stage, according to Marx, was that of slave labor. Marx felt that before the advent of machinery, physical strength was placed at a premium and was, therefore, the key element for "material production." It made sense in this stage of human history for those who controlled production to "own" the means. That meant slavery.
As more refined techniques for production developed, particularly in agriculture, the era of slavery was replaced by the feudal period. In this era of human history, feudal lords owned land and allowed common people (the early proletariat) to work that land and generate crop yields. This was the second stage of history.
With the advent of even more sophisticated tooling and technology, as witnessed by the Industrial Revolution, human labor became easier to control by simply "renting" it in the form of wages. That "rented" human labor was then applied to operate the machinery, which was the principal mode of material production. The renting of labor for the purpose of maximizing profit was, to Marx, at the very foundation of capitalism—his third phase of history.
Marx says capitalism is the first "dynamic system" of production. Like Adam Smith, he subscribes to the labor theory of value. Technology is constantly improving, so each laborer becomes more productive and can produce more while exerting less effort. Increased productivity allows for increased profitability. Remaining profitable, however, requires that you keep a leg up on the competition. According to Marx, that competition destroys our humanity. Profits become the all-consuming goal. Marx refers to this as the "money nexus." Everything revolves around money.
Marx understands all profits as nothing but the excess of price over the value that has been created by and paid for by labor. If you can exploit labor, you can make more profits. The good news, however, is that capitalism seems to solve the problem of scarcity. It provides for all needs. To make more profits, however, it has to expand the list of wants of people. It taps into the human inclination toward envy and creates a preoccupation with status. This can be readily seen in the efforts of modern-day advertising in any predominantly capitalist society.
To satisfy the ever-increasing list of wants, more and more things are produced with more exploited labor. Under these conditions, workers feel alienated from their work and themselves; they feel they are being overworked in a job they do not enjoy. Moreover, they can't afford to participate in all this wealth that their hard labor is producing; a disparity in income develops. Workers can't afford to purchase their own production, so recessions happen. Factories eventually sit idle because the system has produced more than can be sold to people who can't afford to buy. As these recessions get progressively worse, workers begin to resist the economic system and their capitalist overlords—inevitably, leading to violent revolution. Marx says that the revolution will necessarily be violent because those who are in control of the means of production, the bourgeoisie, will not be willing to voluntarily part with their accumulated profit, power, privilege, and prestige.
To pause on that point regarding the violent nature of revolution, it is interesting to note that in today's America the ruling class has, to this point, seemed quite accommodating to the demands and behaviors of the revolutionary movement—even to the extent of providing funding for its operation. This reflects either an a) misunderstanding on the part of Marx as to the bourgeoisie's participation in the historical process, or b) that today's bourgeoisie are not yet seeing the movement as a true threat to its own existence. Only time will reveal the correct answer.
According to Marx, once the revolution happens, workers are able to take over the means of production themselves—the factories and technologies that they've been applying their labor to. There are no more profits in this "enlightened future," just producing. And, most importantly to Marx, each person is producing under these conditions what they want to produce, and doing so using their own talents and skills. There is autonomy, control, and freedom in this Marxist vision for our labor future. Workers can embrace their passions in their productive lives, remembering that humans are naturally productive. Everything they produce will be of benefit to the entire community.
"From each according to their ability, to each according to their need." This often used, little-understood quotation of Marx refers to men being able to fulfill the potential of their true, non-alienated, self for the good of mankind. This is communism, and, according to Marx, this is when true history starts: scarcity solved, and individuals fully self-actualized.
It is important to note that for Marx, each new phase of history cannot begin until it is ready to satisfactorily replace the previous phase in terms of better providing for human needs. This means that the seeds of each new phase need to be sewn in the present phase. For communism, those seeds inside capitalism come in the form of labor unions and socialism. Socialism is a necessary transitional step for Marx.
WHY DOES MARXISM MATTER IN TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY AMERICA
If we could bring back Marx from the dead, give him a nice shower and hot meal, and then catch him up on history since he died, what do you think he would say? I am sure that if we showed him recent examples of work done in his name (in Eastern Europe, China, and elsewhere), he would say those nations were not what he was predicting.
He might, however, be very interested in today's United States. We are:
A fully matured capitalist nation.
We have large perceived gaps in income.
We have people claiming to be overworked and continually bored with their work.
We have militant labor unions, especially in the public sector.
We have big government and big business partnerships that display socialist characteristics.
Technology has advanced to unimaginable levels and has greatly reduced the need to rent labor at a "fair" wage.
In short, we are near where Marx said history would bring us whether we wanted to go or not. This was determined. The dialectic has been moving. We would seem poised to enter the beginning of communist history. Rejoice!
Here is the problem: what Marxist communism hinges upon to make the fourth and final stage of history a worker's paradise is that people are inherently good by their nature. Marx believed we are all fundamentally communal and civic-minded at our core, and only private property and our relationships to the means of production have corrupted us. Remove those things, and our "true colors" will come shining through. To Marx, those colors are bright and vibrant.
Take a look at the people leading the Marxist movement in America today. From the riots in the streets, to the politicians in office, to the professors in the classroom: do you believe that these people are inherently good? Do you believe that people in general are inherently good? This question about our true nature is critical. To be an advocate of communism, you are required to believe that people are genuinely kind, and we will need no laws in a utopian Marxist world to protect us from one another. As a Christian, I believe in the sinful nature of man. I'm not buying Marx's idea that we will all just get along.
For over a century, the vast majority of people have either been at best misreading Marx—or not reading him at all. This has led to an underestimation of the threat presented by his ideas. It is not about what Marx was trying to "build" with his philosophy. In fact, Marx writes very little about what a communist utopia actually would look like. The problem lies in his prediction of where history was taking us combined with his assumption regarding the general good-nature of man. While I have stated that the Marxist revolutions of Russia, China, and elsewhere have not been "true" Marxist moments, it is instructive that they were carried out in his name, and that mass slaughter and slavery were the results. This might provide a better insight into the nature of man than does Marx's assumption that we are inherently decent folks.
It is also important to acknowledge the role of socialism in the historical move toward communism. When people who say they are socialists in one breath tell you they are not communists in the next, they are either mistaken or deceptive. To Marx, socialism is not some sort of slippery slope to communism. It is a necessary transitional step. American socialists know this. If they don't, other Americans need to know it on their behalf.
Remember that Marx said communism was inevitable. There is much of what he predicted that has come true. If he was right about inevitability and wrong about our nature, we have much to fear. It is time for people to stop rhetorically referring to Marxism, and start understanding it. It is time to fight back. The historical hour is late.

It's easy to get lost amid All-Clad's many beautiful offerings, but the truth is you need one wonderful skillet and the stainless is, in our opinion, the way to go. Yes, you can upgrade to copper or copper core if you really want to, but chefs agree that the stainless does the job beautifully and looks beautiful doing it. It's what we use every day. This will be your go-to pan for browning meat, sautéing vegetables, and just about everything else you do.
The greatest little pan on earth. It's perfect for searing fish for two, cooking a chicken breast, or whipping up a pan sauce for a weeknight dinner. Or for making omelets, of course.
Le Creuset is the Cadillac in this department, but Mario Batali and Martha Stewart produce equally colorful Dutch ovens that brown and braise like a dream. A larger size (5 ½ quarts and up) makes entertaining easy. You'll take this from stovetop to oven to table so pick a color you love and let your Dutch oven reign cheerfully over your kitchen for years to come.
A kitchen workhorse that is essential for making rice, sauces, soups, and blanching or steaming vegetables. Along with the frying pan, you'll use this nearly every time you cook.
All new brides who cook must have a roaster, partly because now everyone will be coming over to your house for the holidays. In addition to roasting a turkey, it also bakes a huge, crusty lasagna and nearly any other kind of casserole.
If you are an avid cook or baker, then these next five items are great to have in your cupboard. While they are good multitaskers, you probably won't use them every day.
For brownies, lemon bars, or small pasta bakes, this is your pan.
For your husband's first birthday as your husband, you may want to make him a homemade birthday cake — and you'll need one of these (they're also perfect for soaking bread slices for French toast).
When you host your first Thanksgiving and roast a perfect turkey in your new roasting pan, you will want a pie plate to whip up your mother-in-law's signature pecan pie, too. Choose glass over ceramic, as it allows you to check that the bottom crust is cooked and not soggy.
Can you imagine a life without banana bread or meatloaf? If you can't then you need this pan.
Just what you need to bake muffins, making serving breakfast to weekend guests simple… And don't forget the cupcakes!
While these nest three items aren't essential, if you've got room in your kitchen for them, get 'em. They will allow you to easily expand your culinary repertoire.
A grill pan makes cooking meat in the winter a breeze. Choose the brand according to your guests' budget. We've used the All-Clad, Calphalon, and Le Creuset pans and each heat evenly on the stove top and sear a crusty grill mark.
Cast iron has a very even heat and is great for searing meats or baking a savory cornbread right in the pan. A cast iron skillet will last you your whole marriage (and likely your children's marriages, too) and be seasoned over the years.
You will need at least two of these kitchen staples for baking cookies, roasting vegetables and meats in your oven, or if you ever want to make a Bûche de Noël.

Dr. A'fia Siddiqui: VICTIM OF BUSH RAPE AND KIDNAP SQUAD
By Gordon Duff/STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor
Next week, a mother of 3 children is facing trial for, supposedly, wrestling an M-16 away from a CIA torture squad and trying to kill them. How did the CIA get her? They bought her. She was sold to them by a corrupt official in Pakistan as a "terror suspect," a common problem and a well known ploy in the George W. Bush phony war on terrorism.
Was she a terrorist? There is no evidence of this, even after years of torture. The only serious crimes we find her guilty of is being a house wife, mother and Islamic and, I forgot, having an education. Her victims? Crippled and 100 pounds, she took on a room full of former Navy Seals, Special Forces and "private interrogators." The obvious truth, of course: the charges are a fabrication by a pack of cowards and liars.
What do we really know? We really don't know anything at all. Nobody has any evidence that this woman, a scientist educated in the US did anything at all. There is talk, empty talk about her sending money to charities that might be tied to terrorism. The amount of money is about 2% of a typical payment from one of the Saudi royals that have funded terrorists and suicide bombers for years, but none of them are kidnapped, raped, shot or beaten.
They have oil.
The case against her is made, at length, in the Wikipedia article about her. It is a good read. It makes me proud to be an American. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aafia_Siddiqui
What we see exposed, however, is the slave trade in "terror suspects" created during the Bush Administration fear frenzy when intelligence agencies around the world started dragging innocent people off the streets and selling them to the US for millions of dollars to supply the needed number of "terrorist arrests" to justify wild claims of a successful war on terror continually being made by Dick Cheney, Condi Rice and the rest of the gang.
The crime is an amusing one. A woman who was either just arrested or had been in custody for 5 years, depending on which of her captors you listen to. This should seem like an interesting read:
"On 4 August 2008, shorty after press rumors suggested that Siddiqui had been in Bagram for the last five years, the US government announced that Aafia Siddiqui was arrested on charges related to her attempted murder and assault of United States officers and employees in Afghanistan
The US claims that Siddiqui was not captured in March 2003, that she was arrested on July 17, 2008 outside the home of the Governor of Ghazni.[24][25] The US account of the July 18, 2008 shooting is that FBI agents, interpreters, and several GIs entered arrived at the Afghan facility where Siddiqui was being held. The personnel entered a second floor meeting room—unaware that Siddiqui was being held there, unsecured, behind a curtain.
The Warrant Officer took a seat and placed his United States Army M-4 rifle on the floor next to the curtain .[26] According to the US account the GIs set down their weapons, whereupon Siddiqui burst from behind a curtain, grabbed an M-4, and opened fire. One interpreter who was accompanying the officers seized the firearm from her.
US officials claim they have no idea where Siddiqui has been in the five years since she was captured on March 17, 2003.
Siddiqui arrived in New York on August 4, 2008, and was presented before a United States Magistrate Judge in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Siddiqui refused to accept the charges.[27][28][29] Siddiqui's lawyer stated that no one can believe the FBI story and that Siddiqui had actually been captured in Karachi, Pakistan along with three of her children.
On August 8, 2008 the Daily Times reported that Aafia was captured in Ghazni with her eldest son, Muhammad Ahmed.[31] The report stated that documents existed that confirmed that Affia and her children had been captured in March 2003."
REAL ISSUES FOR DECENT AMERICANS TO CARE ABOUT
This woman and her three children were kidnapped, and illegally held for 5 years under the most brutal conditions imaginable without any legal reason. She had been accused of no crime. After years of imprisonment, rape and torture, she is finally arrested for attacking those who tortured her.
REALITY CHECK: TIME TO STAND PROUD IN OUR WAR ON TERROR
After 5 years of imprisonment, Dr. Siddiqui was a total physical wreck, barely able to walk, and seriously disabled from hundreds of torture sessions. Yet she is accused of overpowering several Navy Seals and US Army Special Forces unarmed combat specialists, seizing a weapon and nearly killing all of them, this at a weight of 100 pounds.
"Nearly killing" is a bit of an overstatement. In fact, nobody was injured at all. The more we investigate this, the more this sounds like an outlandish war story cooked up to file for PTSD.
She faces 20 years for this crime and only this crime. Since when was it a crime to attempt to escape from illegal imprisonment? Any American who is illegally detained and imprisoned without due process can't be charged with a crime for resisting torture or imprisonment.
Americans consider such actions their patriotic duty.
PHOTO STUDY OF OUR SECURITY FORCES IN KABUL PROVING THEIR CHARACTER AND DISCIPLINE:
ONE OF THE GREAT SUCCESSES OF THE WAR ON TERROR
Attorney General John Ashcroft considered the kidnapping of this woman, along with her 3 children, one of the great victories of the War on Terror. However, after 5 years of interrogation and 7 years of confinement, no charges could ever be filed against her other than trying to single handledly crawl out of her death bed and dispatch a room full of "drug store" Rambo types.
Ashcroft has many success in his career. He is the only person in American history to have lost a seat in the US Senate to a dead man.
In an unpublicized but much more interesting case, Ashcroft and his band of merry US Attorneys, in their attempt to rack up arrests for terrorism without doing adequate homework actually managed to drag in an entire CIA intelligence organization which had, until broken up by John Ashcroft and gang, penetrated the highest levels of Al Qaeda.
Not much more can be said, but several top CIA operatives now have the embarassing history of having been arrested for terrorist related charges. Ashcroft and later Gonzales have, through incompetence, done more to cripple US intelligence efforts than any group other than the Mossad.
Even the "outing" of CIA nuclear proliferation specialist Valerie Plame, believed to be responsible for North Korea getting nuclear weapons, involved much less utter bungling and inanity.
OBAMA, HOLDER AND A BUSH ERA "WITCH HUNT"
Nearly every legal expert in the world, including almost universal outrage among the legal community is Israel, has called this one of the most insane acts of abuse of any country that claims to have a functioning legal system and representative form of government.
Even the alleged "suspicious acts," which are, by the way, buying totally legal and harmless gun accessories, is in itself totally insane. Am I going to have to register that dangerous combat assault flashlight I keep by my desk for when I drop my reading glasses?
Any idiot who goes to gun shows knows that the weapons that small children carry around in Afghanistan are ten times better than the things Americans can get from sporting good stores or thru mail order. Every time an American collector sees a photograph of a Taliban member who owns 2 goats carrying an AK rifle with forged receiver and top quality ART sniper scope, something worth $3000 or more in the US, the insanity of purchasing 3rd rate clone parts in the US to ship to a country that has enough assault rifles to supply the world for centuries begins to sink in.
Where is the NRA and ACLU?
AMERICAN ANTI-GUN CRAZIES
Even if we weren't dealing with a kidnapped and raped mother facing trial for, not terrorism but for showing super human powers and violating, not terrorist laws but, moreover, the laws of physics themselves, I can't help but come back to an old theme.
If I buy a semi-automatic shotgun and the Black Helicopter Secret Police raid my home, is a US Attorney going to call it a "ultra-high powered special operations assault mid caliber artillery piece?"
Is my Ruger 10/22, purchased for plinking tin cans going to be an assault machine gun?
However, when Dr. Hasan went on his terror campaign at Ft. Hood using an FN Herstal 5.7mm 20 round assault pistol with classified ammunition available ONLY to our special operations troops, ammo specially designed for penetrating body armor, newspapers, TV, everyone was silent. We can be so very "uncurious" when we need to. I am still waiting to find out why we are concealing this.
WHO IS THE VICTIM HERE?
These things are obvious. We paid criminals to kidnap an innocent person for cheap public relations gain, elections were coming up and our War on Terror was looking as phony as, well as phony as it actually is.
Then, after years of rape and torture, this frail Islamic woman tries to fight back, or so we are told, told by people who imprison innocent people, rape and torture. Are these witnesses we would have in an American court?
She already considers herself dead. What human can survive such brutality, injustice, humiliation and abuse. Who are the real victims here?
Americans who know nothing of the trial, American who sat silently while this went on, Americans who thought their cowardice was buying them "safety."
We are the victims because we are despised around the world for brutality and injustice we know nothing of because we gave up our free press and our love of honor for, well, I don't actually know. A picture of Sarah Palin comes to mind, her or "Joe the Plumber."

Novak Djokovic out of US Open for accidentally hitting line judge with ball
Cassandra Negley
Novak Djokovic, the favorite for the men's singles title at the US Open, is out of the competition via a default.
Djokovic, the world No. 1, accidentally hit a line judge in the neck when he hit the ball back off his racket. He had just lost a point in the opening set.

Players who hit another person on the court can be automatically disqualified from the competition by way of a loss. Djokovic realized immediately he hit her and approached the person.
Pablo Carreno Busta, the No. 20 seed and a 2017 semifinalist, will advance to the quarterfinals. The score of the first set was 6-5.
There will be a new Grand Slam men's singles champion for the first time in six years.

Djokovic hits line judge after bad run
Carreno Busta went on a run after trailing 5-4 and rattled off five points in a row. One of those was overturned by a challenge and he evened up the match.
After a third break point, Djokovic smashed the ball and hit the sideboard after play ended, via BBC Sports. Commentators noted that it could be bad if he did that and were to hit someone, and wondered why he hadn't been given a warning for the dangerous move.
He has a history of similar actions.
Djokovic has had issues with this previously in his career, throwing his racquet etc very close to linespeople/ballkids.
Debate is still ongoing with officials. #USOpen
At one point before his default, Djokovic fell over when Carreno Busta forced him to change directions. He appeared to hurt his left shoulder.
He was trying to win his 18th career Grand Slam. He was 26-0 so far this season.
Djokovic attempts to plead case
Djokovic attempted to state his case to stay in the competition, telling the officials he could take a game penalty or set penalty rather than a full tournament ouster.
Via Ben Rothenberg at The New York Times, Djokovic also noted that the line judge was able to get up and didn't need to be taken to the hospital.
"She doesn't have to go to the hospital for this." -Djokovic trying to downplay the effects of hitting the lineswoman, saying she wasn't seriously injured.
Djokovic continuining:
"You're going to choose a default in this situation? My career, grand slam, center stage"#USOpen
Official Andreas Egli reportedly stood firm, while Djokovic continued his plea, saying, "If she would have gotten up right away ..." per Rothenberg. The line judge dropped to her knees on the hit near the back of the court and reached for her neck.
Chair umpire Aurelie Tourte made the announcement to an empty stadium — no fans are allowed due to the COVID-19 pandemic — after Djokovic went over to shake hands with Carreno Busta.
Djokovic will lose all ranking points and be fined the prize money he won for reaching the round of 16, per the USTA statement.

Only two courts have line judges this time around as the tournament organizers attempt to keep the number of people in the arenas at a minimum due to the pandemic. Calls on other courts are being made electronically.
Djokovic apologizes on Instagram
Djokovic issued an apology in Instagram on Sunday afternoon.
A post shared by Novak Djokovic (@djokernole) on Sep 6, 2020 at 3:58pm PDT
"This whole situation left me really sad and empty," he wrote, in part. "I checked on the lines person and the tournament told me that thank God she is feeling OK. I'm extremely sorry to have caused her such stress. So unintended. So wrong … As for the disqualification, I need to go back within and work on my disappointment and turn this all into a lesson for my growth and evolution as a player and human being. I apologize to the US Open tournament and everyone associated for my behavior."
US Open will have first-time Grand Slam winner
Djokovic was the favorite for the US Open men's singles title since fellow star competitors Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal had opted out due to the pandemic.
The victor will now be a first-time winner. It's the first time since 2014, when Marin Cilic won the US Open, that a Grand Slam will have a first-time trophy winner.
Djokovic, Federer and Nadal have won 52 of the past 61 majors, per the Associated Press. The only non-"Big 3" competitor to win a major since 2017 is Stan Wawrinka, who won the 2016 US Open.
And the last time there was a Grand Slam without at least one of them as a semifinalist was at the 2004 French Open.
