Republicans support socialism, but Democrats are accused of it: Crazy things that happen only in America
by Eli Mshomi December 26, 2020
written by Eli Mshomi December 26, 2020
"Biden, Harris, and their socialist comrades will fundamentally change this nation."
(Kimberly Guilfoyle, Trump Campaign Advisor)
Accusing Democrats of socialism and the destruction of the American economy was one of the primary slogans of Republicans in the 2020 presidential elections.
A number of times, Donald Trump warned that Joe Biden and the Democrats would make America socialist, destroying the country altogether.
The reality is far different than this. From incentivizing farmers to extending flood subsidies to give extra money to the red states, Republicans support socialism more than Democrats.
We did a fact check to bust the conspiracy theories which Republicans in general and Trump, in particular, propagated to make fools out of Americans.
The interesting part of all these conspiracy theories was not Trump's rhetoric. Instead, this notion is penetrated across millions of Americans' minds by the falsified narrative of all the Republican leaders.
As Democrats failed in making a counter-narrative and held Republicans accountable for their misleading approach towards the nation, a simple fact check decries that Republicans are the real socialists who want to destroy the basics of American economics.
How did Republicans support socialism, and how did Democrats fail to tackle them? Let's have a look.
Republicans Supporting Socialism: Subsidizing Farmers at an Unprecedented Pace
For the first time since 2005, farmers are enjoying subsidies. One of the primary reasons for this funding was to cement the vote bank for Donald Trump in the Southern belt, where most farmers live.
By now, Trump has flooded almost $46 billion in 2020 to the farmers, which is unimaginable in countries like America, where capitalism is the major economic ideology.
Most of the funds came after the coronavirus hit them hard, combined with the flawed trade policies of Trump. The money of other hardworking Americans is going into the hands of Trump supporters in the name of subsidies, promoting the notion of socialism in the country.
All of this came in times when the debt on the farming sector of the United States has increased to a new high of $434 billion.
Due to these subsidies, the US farming sector income has increased in 2020, which was bound to decline otherwise this year. Accounting for over 40 per cent of the total farming sector budget in 2020, these many subsidies point out that Republicans are pushing socialism while they are accusing Democrats to do so.
Drug Discount Card: Medicalization of Republican Socialism:
Republicans support socialism in multiple ways. In another bid to promote socialism in the United States, Donald Trump pursued a drug discount card to win the votes of the lower strata of society.
It will allow almost 33 million older Americans to avail a discount of nearly $6.6 billion in total. Older Americans will get a discount card worth $200 each. One of the important things to note here is that it was yet another political stunt by Donald Trump, as his executive order to protect people with pre-existing conditions was just a duplication of one of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
ACA was protecting the people having pre-existing conditions well enough, but to further their socialism agenda, Trump pursued this policy.
National Flood Insurance Program: Another Socialism Driven Policy of Trump:
Similarly, Republicans support socialism in yet another way through the National Flood Insurance Program. This socialist approach provides flood insurance subsidies to the affected areas under the care of the federal government.
In this flawed socialist program, America faced $16 billion of losses in 2017 and another set of $20 billion loses in 2020.
Not only this, NFIP is encouraging people to live in flood-prone areas by subsidizing them.
Not shockingly, almost 60 % of these subsidies were given to Florida, Texas, and Louisiana, and all of them voted for Trump in the 2020 presidential election.
This evinces that Donald Trump took out the money of the average American taxpayer and subsidized his supporters, which clearly indicates that Republicans support socialism to win votes.
"Taker" States Incentivized by Republican Government
In Donald Trump's era, Republicans support socialism in every possible domain. For instance, the Trump government, inspired by so-called conservative ideology, promotes the concept of "taker" states and puts a lot of financial burden on the "maker" or "donor" states.
Maker states are those where residents pay way more in taxes than what they receive back in facilities. Some of these states include New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
However, the financial burden posed by the taker states, especially from the southern belt, is urging Trump to promote socialism in America.
The worrying part is that most of these states are still doing no good to their citizens. Mississippi, for instance, receives almost $19 billion more than it gives to the federal government. However, despite getting all of this money under Republican socialism programs, homicide and infant mortality in Mississippi is more than any other state
in the country.
Republicans Support Socialism and Democrats Face Voters' Brunt
Democrats failed to capitalize on these Republican socialism policies in the 2020 election.
There was a common perception among the masses that socialism is regarded with the Democrats, and credit goes to the Republicans' pervasive digital election campaign to defame the Democrats.
Whether it was the presidential debate, vice presidential debate, social media outlets, or any other local election campaign, Republicans tried to penetrate the American's mind that socialism belongs to Democrats.
However, this was an extremely flawed approach as Democrats, especially the liberal faction, never supported the ideology.
Democrats failed to make a counter-narrative against their own reputation, let alone canvassing about making a narrative against Republican socialism.
All of these socialistic-driven policies of Republicans mentioned above deserve to be mentioned during the election campaign. The problem is most people don't even know that these things are happening under the nose of Donald Trump, who always portrays himself as a capitalist person.
It is an established reality that Republicans support socialism in actuality and Democrats face the brunt of the masses in return.
Democrats were held responsible for the flawed policies which Donald Trump enacted in favor of socialism in the United States. Socialism is against the very core of the economic infrastructure of America.
America is considered a safe haven for businesses just because of its rigid approach to socialism. However, the country under Trump was forced to go against the very fundamentals on which the basics of the country stands.
Under the socialist regime of Donald Trump, the prevailing markets in the United States, which are currently driven by the laissez-faire ideology of economics, will be destroyed, resulting in the severe economic crisis yet again.

Q: Pass URL from text field to web view in second controller I am trying to build a very basic browser for in-house use at my company. This is the first real code I've written in Swift, so very much a beginner and relying on tutorials. I have successfully got text to display on a second controller, and would now like to use that to load a Web View.

class ViewController: UIViewController {

@IBOutlet weak var urlField: UITextField!
@IBAction func launch(_ sender: Any) {
    if urlField.text != "" {
        performSegue(withIdentifier: "launch", sender: self)
    }
}

override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
    let secondController = segue.destination as! BrowserController
    secondController.urlString = urlField.text!
}

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}

}
This is where I get lost - how can I turn that urlString into something the web view can then load?
All I have so far in the second controller is
import UIKit
import WebKit

class BrowserController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var label: UILabel!

    var urlString = String()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        label.text = urlString

        // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
    }
}

Any help greatly appreciated!

A: Replace your second view controller with something like below
 import UIKit
    import WebKit

    class BrowserController: UIViewController, WKNavigationDelegate {

        @IBOutlet weak var label: UILabel!
        var urlString = String()
        var webView : WKWebView!

        override func viewDidLoad() {
            super.viewDidLoad()

            label.text = urlString

            // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
            //Load the webview
            loadPage();
        }

        func loadPage(){
           let url = NSURL(string: myBlog)
           let request = NSURLRequest(URL: url!)

           // init and load request in webview.
           webView = WKWebView(frame: self.view.frame)
           webView.navigationDelegate = self
           webView.loadRequest(request)
           self.view.addSubview(webView)
        }

        //MARK:- WKNavigationDelegate
        func webView(webView: WKWebView, didFailProvisionalNavigation navigation: WKNavigation!, withError error: NSError) {
           print(error.localizedDescription)
        }

     func webView(webView: WKWebView, didStartProvisionalNavigation navigation: WKNavigation!) {
           print("Strat to load")
       }
     func webView(webView: WKWebView, didFinishNavigation navigation: WKNavigation!) {
           print("finish to load")
       }
}

A: import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController, UIWebViewDelegate {

    @IBOutlet weak var webView: UIWebView!
    var urlString = ""

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        webView.delegate = self
        if let url = URL(string: urlString!) {
            let request = URLRequest(url: url)
            webView.loadRequest(request)
        }
    }
}

A: If you want to open website in BrowserController then after you get url from textfield from ViewController use this code in your BrowserController
import UIKit
import SafariServices

class BrowserController: UIViewController {
//@IBOutlet weak var label: UILabel!

var urlString = String()

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    label.text = urlString

    guard let url = URL(string: urlString ?? "") else { return }
    let svc = SFSafariViewController(url: url)
    present(svc, animated: false, completion: nil)
}
}

This is the easiest way to open browser from the app.

Peter Fimrite Jan. 3, 2018 Updated: Jan. 3, 2018 5:02 p.m.
The giddiness that California water resources officials felt last winter as storms dropped record amounts of rain and snow has melted away under a relentless barrage of blue sky and sun. Now the question is, does the state have enough stored-up water to survive a dry year?
The first Sierra snow measurement of the season Wednesday did nothing to ease concerns. From north to south, the snowpack in the state's frozen-water bank averages a depth of just 3 inches, a dismal 24 percent of normal for this time of year, state surveyors said.
"Clearly, November and December have been disappointing," Frank Gehrke, chief of the California Cooperative Snow Surveys Program, said as he stood on a meadow covered with dry grass at Phillips Station, off Highway 50 near Echo Summit.
Gehrke had just taken measurements of the few meager patches of snow at the former stagecoach stop, elevation 6,800 feet. It wasn't difficult — there was just 1.3 inches of snow on the ground, 3 percent of the early January average at that location since 1964.
The pitiful showing was typical of the measurements taken at hundreds of places elsewhere in the Sierra.
Last month was the fourth-driest December on record statewide, thanks to a ridge of high pressure that pushed storms far north of California. The lack of moisture left the central Sierra, including the Lake Tahoe region, with 29 percent of the average snowpack. The northern portion of the Sierra is at 21 percent of normal and the south is at 20 percent of the historical average for this time.
But Gehrke pointed out that December is only the first of California's three wettest months. January and February still hold out the possibility of a respectable water year.
"We're very early in the season," he said. "We have seen very dramatic turnarounds" in the past.
Right on cue, the first in a predicted line of storms came ashore Wednesday. "The good news is it looks like we do have a progressive pattern, so it looks like we could see showers impacting some portion of California all the way into next weekend," said Michelle Mead, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service.
"All we need is more storms like that to bring us into normal range," Mead said.
Grant Davis, director of the Department of Water Resources, said California would really benefit from the kind of supercharged storm, called an "atmospheric river," that rolled across the state time and again last year.
"Often half of our water supply comes in the form of atmospheric rivers," Davis said.
The current snow situation is far from dire, according to hydrology experts. California's reservoirs filled up and were spilling over after the storms last winter and spring. The amount of water in the 154 reservoirs that the state keeps track of stands at 109 percent of average for this time of year.
Jay Lund, a professor of civil and environmental engineering and the director of the Center for Watershed Sciences at UC Davis, said the state has enough water stored to make it through next summer even if no more rain or snow falls this winter.
Shasta Dam, the largest reservoir in the state, is at 70 percent of capacity, which is 113 percent of average for this time of year. The 602-foot dam, on the upper Sacramento River northwest of Redding, holds back 4.5 million acre-feet of water. An acre-foot is enough to cover 1 acre in a foot of water.
Oroville Dam, however, is only at 35 percent of capacity, which is 56 percent of average for this time of year. Shasta and Oroville together carry 80 percent of the state's reservoir supply, which is used to irrigate 8 million acres of farmland and provide water to close to 30 million people.
The two reservoirs are kept below capacity during the winter to avoid flooding in the event of major storms, such as those that prompted Oroville Dam officials to release a torrent of water in February that caused the main spillway to partially collapse. The dam's emergency spillway had to be used for the first time ever and the hillside began to erode, forcing 180,000 people in downstream communities to evacuate.
The nation's tallest dam was the site of the fastest construction project in modern state history this past year, as hundreds of workers labored around the clock to rebuild the chute before winter.
The long drought followed by heavy rains and then dry weather this year have frustrated water officials, who are working on ways to better predict storms, or the lack thereof, so they can plan ahead instead of just hoping for rain and snow.
Davis, the state Water Resources director, is pushing for more radar systems and computer modeling to improve the reliability of storm forecasting. Current storm forecasts made more than two weeks out are accurate just 7 percent of the time, he said. Accuracy improves to 70 percent within 72 hours of a storm system's arrival.

Oct 6, 2009 Industry News
The UK's best oyster openers were out in force yesterday when 15 hopefuls battled it out in The Tabasco British Oyster Opening Championship 2009. Four hundred and fifty native oysters were opened (and then eaten) and over 100 guests eagerly cheered on representatives from oyster restaurants, oyster suppliers and fishmongers from all over Britain.
Once again, the top three were extremely close, with only 1 second between second and third place. Third place was given to Sam Tamsanguan from Wilton's restaurant. Fredrik Lindfors of The Fish Shop, this year, although he came second, was commended by all three judges as they thought his oysters were 'the best presentation they've ever seen in their years of judging', however both were not quite fast enough to take the title from 2008's winner, Armando Lema of Coastline La Brocca, who opened thirty oysters in 3 minutes 25 seconds, a staggering 19 seconds faster than Fredrik in second place.
Armando, the 2009 Tabasco Oyster Opener of the Year celebrated his win with a Loch Ryan native oyster with a few drops of Tabasco.

Gavin Newsom Prepares for Presidential Campaign While Partner Jennifer Newsom Continues Family Grift
There's Another HUGE Bombshell in Kari Lake's Election Lawsuit
Musk Sets Unenviable Record, Leftists Couldn't Be Happier
Elon Musk is undoubtedly the most successful businessman of all time. His journey from being the richest man on Earth has seen him set many financial records, from Tesla to SpaceX and Twitter. Musk just broke another financial record.
Musk was 2022's richest man and has since lost $200 billion in personal wealth.
Bloomberg reported that Musk's net wealth hit a record as Tesla stock saw significant growth. Tesla shares reached all-time highs. Musk was the first person to achieve a net worth of $340 billion.
Musk is a volatile figure who has seen his wealth drop from $137 Billion to $137 Billion in the past weeks after Tesla shares plummeted, including an 11% plunge last Tuesday.
Get more information at Bloomberg
This milestone of [$ 340 billion] is a reflection of how Musk rose during a boom in asset prices in an easy-money era. Even though it represented only a small percentage of the global auto market, it joined Google parent Alphabet Inc. and Apple Inc.
Tesla's dominance in electric cars is under threat as other companies catch up. Tesla is offering US customers a $7500 discount in order to obtain their most popular models by the end of the year. It plans to reduce its production at the Shanghai plant.
Tesla shares have been on the decline for so many years — they dropped 65% in 2022. Musk also sold shares to finance his purchase of Twitter ($44 billion). According to Bloomberg's wealth index, they are not Musk's largest asset.
Musk owns $44.8 billion of Space Exploration Technologies Corp. This is more than Musk's $44 billion stake in Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (he still has options worth $ 27.8 billion span> According to a filing, Musk currently holds 42.2%.
Leftist keyboard warriors were clearly delighted by Musk's loss in personal wealth.
Twitter was bought by Elon for $44B. To be the jerkiest Internet troll in the entire world. Were you certain that he didn't study business at Trump University?
Clever. A tweet that targets Trump and Musk.
Elon paid $44B for Twitter. Consequently, he's lost an additional $200B from his net worth. All to become the world's most herky-jerky internet troll. Are we sure he didn't study business at Trump University?https://t.co/31Y7BYNJet
— Bob Cesca (@bobcesca_go) January 1, 2023
It's pretty clear that "Brooke hates the ground on which Elon walks."
Good. We are happy for him.
Musk's return on Twitter to free speech is no doubt a cranky leftist.
Good. Hope he continues to lose everything he has ever loved https://t.co/YTRlc8aqgQ
— Brooke Binkowski (@brooklynmarie) December 31, 2022
This man was not deluded.
200B+ growth in 2021. 2022: 200B less. Kanye West is next. Capitalism taxes your ability to spend your money.
Musk was treated well by Capitalism. "John," wise up.
200B+ up in 2021. 200B down in 2022.
Knock off the nutty behavior Mr. Musk, or stand next to Kanye West. You can play w/your money, but capitalism taxes you playing w/ everyone else's.
Elon Musk Becomes First Person Ever to Lose $200 Billion https://t.co/AgLe8godaw
— John Hope Bryant (@johnhopebryant) December 30, 2022
While the numbers might seem overwhelming to mortals, the story isn't difficult.
During the pandemic, Musk's net worth grew. As EV competition increases, Tesla shares plunged. Tesla stock investors have complained that Musk has lost sight of the bigger picture. Due to his spending on Twitter, and the money and time, he spent on it, Musk's personal net worth has fallen to $200 billion.
These are just a few observations.
Equity investments (stock) are variable. First, equity investments (stock in this instance) are variable. This means they can fluctuate in value. Second, Musk has also benefited from Tesla being less top-heavy in management than large, established companies such as Ford and General Motors.
The second question is whether Musk lost focus on Tesla and spent too much time repackaging Twitter. This is particularly relevant to SpaceX shareholders.
Third: Even if you lose $ 200 billion but still make $ 137 billion, it is still enough to do what you want. Musk repeatedly stated he didn't buy Twitter to make money but to restore freedom and attract attention from Google, Amazon, and Facebook.
And, $200 billion is Joe Biden's America.

Fox's New Block Will Rock Your Socks Off
by Michael Tyminski
Axe Cop/High School USA – 11:00pm and 11:15pm Eastern Saturday Nights on FOX
It's been a couple of years since Saturday Night Live has had any credible competition in the Saturday late-night time slot. The network that feels the most comfortable filling that void, oddly enough has been Fox, a network that runs less prime time than other networks and with the exception of sports programming avoids all other hours at all costs. While Fox's last attempt at this slot fought fire with fire in the long running and painfully unfunny sketch comedy MadTV, it's newest late-night strategy instead seems lifted from the Adult Swim playbook, putting two 15-minute animated shows into one half hour.
The first show in this block, Axe Cop, is derived from a web-comic of the same name written by Ethan Nicolle. The series follows the adventures of the titular Axe Cop (voiced by Nick Offerman) and his partner in crime-fighting Flute Cop (voiced by The State alum Ken Marino), as they deal with otherworldly issues that fall outside of the line of standard issue police work.
The second, High School USA!, is the latest creation from Morel Orel creator and Community writer, Dino Stamatopoulos. It follows a group of cheery young Millenials through the standard high school experience, if your high school was full of the hypersensitive types that say "Totally!" a lot.
Seeing how these shows are half-length in nature, I'm going to do away with a plot synopsis and do something similar to what I did with The Following and aim for quick thoughts on both new shows.
Axe Cop: This show is hilarious, in large part because of it's juxtapositions. This is both because it routinely mixes mundane with AWESOME! (A key plot point of our first episode involves the costs of renting a dinosaur horn and Axe Cop trying to avoid late fees). This conflation is possible because it mixes the storytelling of a five year old (Nicolle's grade school aged brother writes the major arcs) with references no five year old should ever get and some comically hypocritical humor. Additionally, the voice cast does an excellent job selling the fact that a five year old is telling a story without going into intentional bad acting mode.
High School USA! This show exhibits a lot of traits with it's predecessor, though while Morel Orel ripped apart fundamentalism, High School USA sends up the modern day high school experience. It does so using the same broken Aesops and hypocritical authority figures (the best line in the show comes when the teacher who kicked out a student for bullying mentions that he can "compromise his values for a little music"). While it's weird to see the Archie meets Happy Days vibe hit a contemporary target, watching Marsh whip up a twisted version of what constitutes bullying through sheer good intentions brings you back into familiar territory for Stamatopoulos.
The Final Verdict: Fox has a winner on its' hands with it's new animation block. While not as creatively adventurous, it's a breath of fresh air to see the manic nature of Adult Swim played out on broadcast TV. Axe Cop in particular espouses this energy, as every time you turn around the show throws another twist at you that is equal parts ridiculous and awesome, but conveys the wonderment of the eight year old who lays out the story arcs. High School USA also exhibits that same energy by fearlessly committing to it's subversion and satire of surface level morality (which mirror a more real moral about acceptance). Check both out when you have time, whether its from being stuck in on a Saturday night or online at Fox's new Animation Domination High Def site.

'Long Live Rock' Documentary Lands Distribution, Schedules March Release (EXCLUSIVE)
Dave McNary
Abramorama has acquired worldwide distribution rights for Jonathan McHugh's directorial debut "Long Live Rock…Celebrate The Chaos" and plans a March 12, 2021 release.
"Long Live Rock" was filmed at various rock festivals around America showing the scope of just how massive these crowds are. Attesting to the power of destination music festivals such as Coachella and Lollapalooza are interviews with members of Metallica, Guns N 'Roses, Slipknot, Korn, Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch, Rage Against the Machine, Greta Van Fleet, Halestorm, Machine Gun Kelley, and Shinedown. These prominent performers discuss, among other things, the relationship with their audience.

The film is produced by McHugh, Gary Spivack and Jonathan Platt. "Long Live Rock…Celebrate The Chaos" will be launched with an online global red carpet premiere screening event on March 11 featuring a Q&A with the filmmakers, band members and some surprise guests. The film will be available the next day on Abramorama's affiliate partner platform Watch Now @ Home.
Said McHugh: "Gary Spivack and I wanted to make a film celebrating the chaos of rock culture. Growing up in NYC I would do whatever it took to get in to see bands like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and other rock icons. We were lucky enough to work with great rock stars like Motley Crüe and the legendary Metallica when we met at Elektra Records in the '90s. Now 25 years later we are so proud to partner with Abramorama to shine a light on the most passionate fans in the world and the music that drives them. Since we have not been able to attend concerts and may not for a while, we hope our film can fill this void…until the day we can all rock out together again!"
McHugh has been producing, directing and music supervising film and television for decades, producing over 35 films and TV shows, and music supervising more than 75 films. McHugh has producing credits on Paramount's "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never," the Britney Spears film "Crossroads" and the documentary "Janis: Little Girl Blue."
"Given his decades long career in a world where music and movies meet, Jonathan is the ideal person to tell this story," added Abramorama CEO Richard Abramowitz. "We're delighted to shepherd his first effort as a director out into the world."
The phrase "Long Live Rock" was immortalized in a song of the same name by The Who, released in 1974 on the band's "Odds and Sods" album.

Euthanasia Prevention Coalition
Building a broad based network to oppose euthanasia & assisted suicide worldwide.
The Delta Hospice Society is being coerced by the British Columbia Minister of Health, Adrian Dix, to do euthanasia. The Delta Hospice was given a February 3rd deadline to change their policy. The Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association and the Canadian Society of Palliative Care Physicians are supporting the Delta Hospice Society. The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition recognizes the imperative to protect the Delta Hospice.
We have created a petition demanding that hospice palliative care organizations not be coerced into doing euthanasia. The online petition has close to 15,000 signatures; you can sign it at this link. You can download the paper petition by clicking here. If the Delta Hospice is coerced into doing euthanasia, then all hospice palliative care groups can be coerced to do it.
In December, I did a three-city speaking tour on Vancouver Island. The Island has the highest percentage of MAiD deaths in Canada. During the tour, I met people who are motivated to challenge the attitude towards euthanasia in BC. This motivated us to plan our National Symposium for Saturday June 6, 2020 in Victoria, BC. Please save the date.
Canada's Justice Minister, David Lametti, will be introducing changes to the euthanasia law after the government did not appeal the Truchon court decision that struck down the "terminal illness" requirement in the law. The federal government has stated that they will do a five-year review of the euthanasia law beginning in June 2020. In a CBC Radio-Canada interview, Lametti said that he may expand Canada's euthanasia law to include people who are unable to consent to die, but had previously consented, and expand the eligibility age to 14-year-olds. In preparation of the full review of the euthanasia law this summer, the Canadian government released a questionnaire (January 13) on medical assistance in dying (MAID) eligibility criteria and request process. You can complete it online at this link or download the PDF version and submit according to the instructions in the document. The deadline to submit is Monday January 27, 2020 at 11:59 p.m. (PST). You can read my guide to answering the questionnaire by clicking here.
The assisted suicide lobby has launched a major campaign in New York State. Legalization campaigns have also been launched in Maryland, Massachusetts, Delaware and New Hampshire. In 2020, we expect the assisted suicide lobby to introduce bills in some new states. Last year, the assisted suicide lobby expanded the eligibility language in several of their assisted suicide bills. Some bills required physicians to refer for assisted suicide while others redefined assisted suicide as part of palliative care.
I have been asked to speak in several US states including New York, Ohio, Michigan, Maryland and Arkansas to provide direction and training for defeating these bills. E-mail me at alex@epcc.ca to inquire about speaking engagements.
January is a great month to renew your EPC Membership ($25 individual, $50 group). We are putting money aside to fix the office roof.
Recently I was contacted by a woman who stated that she had been raped and was so distraught that she wanted to die by euthanasia. I responded to her by acknowledging the pain of being violated, but I urged her to seek justice and not death. She responded by thanking me.
We are thankful for your financial support,
Alex Schadenberg

This 5th album of mine is more country flavored than anything else, with a few folk rock/adult contemporary exceptions.
These songs were written over a span of 35 years. Some were written from college heartbreaks, others about the experiences described by friends, still others about various subjects, both fact and fiction. Two were written at the request of my employer, the National Weather Service. Can you guess which ones? My daughters helped on a couple --- Melody did the lead vocal on "Poet In The Land", and Marissa (when she was only 14) on "Coeur d'Alene". Selection #7 was written in 1982, so it was not inspired by Alan Jackson's "Gone Country". But I'm a huge Alan Jackson fan!

Integr8IT takes global accounting firm deep into the cloud with new platform
By	Peter Elliott
*Article by Chris Player of CRN Magazine – Click here for full article
Melbourne-based developer, Integr8IT, has completed the rollout of a cloud portal for accounting company, Moore Stephens, which has the potential to open up a global sales channel.
The accounting firm had been looking for a cloud-based platform it could rollout to its clients for access to multiple applications such as Xero, MYOB, Office 365 and Salesforce with a single sign on.
Moore Stephens runs a network of 626 offices across 276 firms in 108 countries, employs 27,997 people and has fees of more than US$2.7 billion, according to the company website.
Integr8IT general manager, Peter Elliott, told ARN that the firm and its clients use a swathe of accounting programs and other software and while the project was originally about single sign on, it quickly evolved.
"They started seeing it as more of a Moore Stephens platform from which they could deliver even more value," he said. "We began to add in more features like financial dashboards and we have linked in with applications like Xero and MYOB."
The platform now boasts more than 4000 cloud-based applications as well as integrations which have changed the way the customer views the product.
"Moore Stephens sees this as a dashboard which can be rolled out to all their clients, starting in Victoria but hopefully rolling out to the rest of Australia and maybe on elsewhere as well," he said.
The as-a-service route
The platform is a specific project for the accounting firm and Elliott said the original investment in development came from Integr8IT because the customer wanted per user, per monthly billing.
This left a lot of the initial heavy lifting to Elliott and his team but he said the sizable opportunity with a company like Moore Stephens was worth the investment.
"We saw that there was an opportunity to get our foot in the door and these kind of projects, to get the investment up front from the client and to go through the terms and conditions is a deal that can take a long time to close," he explained.
"We thought the risk was worth the opportunity and we saw that there was a drive from Moore Stephens to have this platform, they really had the need for it. So we thought it was a risk worth taking and hopefully we will reap the rewards."
The initial rollout is for the accounting firm's Victorian branch offices in Melbourne and Geelong, with the company housing 16 directors and more than 100 staff in the state.
This will serve as a pilot program but Elliott said the company has already had a good deal of interest from the other Australian branch offices as well as from those in New Zealand and the UK.
"We have already had meetings with offices from the rest of the country," he said. "There is appetite from them as well but they will obviously see how it goes in Victoria, and hopefully jump on board after that."
As a customer facing platform, its success will live or die on customer uptake – this will rely on a number of factors including the accounting firm's management of the platform and how it evolves over time.
But Elliott is confident that the portal will add value for the clients and – as it automates many processes for Moore Stephens and customers – save time for the company.
Elliott added that due to the sensitivity of the data on the platform Moore Stephens need to have complete control.
"We don't want a hand in that," Elliott said. "We only want to get involved if there are technical issues, but we will be involved from a training perspective, but once the training is over and done with, our role becomes upkeep and adding value."
This value will come from additional functionality driven by feedback from MS and its customers. The project will be all-encompassing for the Integr8IT team for the short-term and Elliott said he is personally booked out with engagements for the next year.
Turning a customer into a partner
The deal includes an exclusivity clause but Elliott said this does not limit the potential growth of the project and in fact, opens up an entirely different route to market.
"Moore Stephens see this as something that can be used by different industries, so once we are really happy with it and Moore Stephens' clients are really happy with the features, Moore Stephens themselves will start being the drivers to push it into other industries," he said
Elliott said he believes that the firm will be able to use it as a sales tool to attract more clients.
While growing the user base among Moore Stephens customers in the immediate goal, the exponential growth opportunity will come from additional industry uptake.
If successful, this will turn a global accounting firm into a channel partner and increase Integr8 IT's reach far beyond what it could achieve on its own.

Do you know how this issue look like?
Is it simaler like another variant?
I resubmitted the 2&2b covers, but you were right, they were preview covers. I only asked in case you wanted credit for them. I just wanted the right covers in place before someone submitted them in the wrong order again.
I accidentally reset your Red Sonja 2c cover due to confusion about the descriptions. 2 & 2b were mixed up, but 2c and 2d were fine. Did you originally submit 2 & 2b?
I should have posted my reply here. I'm trying to bump a bunch of "good" threads so the rest of that crap doesn't show up on the front page.

Home › Abuse of Power › Before Misogyny Contaminated Theology by Stuart Dean
Before Misogyny Contaminated Theology by Stuart Dean
By Stuart Dean on June 22, 2014 • ( 19 )
Compared to many issues related to ancient history, it is relatively easy to identify not just where and when misogyny began to contaminate theology, but the person primarily responsible for it: Plato, who lived in Athens in the late fifth and early fourth centuries BCE. Although today Plato is not thought of as a theologian, in antiquity theology was not just one discipline among many, but rather was synonymous with philosophy as an overarching system of thought to which all else was subordinated. Conceived of in this way theology was comprised of a variety of interrelated theories that today ostensibly appear to be discrete disciplines, including biology and psychology.
There is thus little question but that the exclusion of women not just from theology but from literate culture generally up until the 20th century can to a great degree be attributed to Plato. In one dialogue he categorizes women as a subaltern species of humanity that has yet to evolve to the level of being attained by men. Consistent, in an odious way, with that biological theory, is Plato's view of female psychology as being such that it should be against the law for women to establish private religious shrines and related rituals since they derive the inspiration for doing so from dreams, apparently incapable of the 'serious thought' he deemed necessary for such matters. Given that context it is hardly surprising that in all his 'dialogues' there is not one female participant.
Much can and should be said about the influence of Plato's misogynistic theology on what followed, including Judaic, Christian and Islamic theology. Yet, precisely because it is so clear that the contamination of theology by misogyny begins with Plato, it is worth taking note of what theology was like in the century or two before Plato, particularly for those Greeks who lived in, or visited for an extended period of time, Sicily or Southern Italy (collectively, "Southern Italy"). It will be useful in doing so to examine separately each of the two components of the word theology and what each meant to these Greeks.
Although goddesses of various types and names populate all ancient Greek literature, Aphrodite was especially important to the Greeks of Southern Italy. There is evidence of a widespread belief there that people were born with Aphrodite within them, guiding their thoughts and actions throughout their life. In addition to this psychological dimension, there was a cosmological one, for Aphrodite also was believed to be at the center of the cosmos, governing the entire universe. Because of the way in which this tradition was both appropriated and imitated (by pagans and Christians) it would appear that the Aphrodite 'within' underlies the belief in an individual soul (psyche–feminine gender in Greek) as well as in a world soul, most familiar in the West due to Latin translations as the anima mundi.
It would be unfair, however, to characterize the theology of such Greeks simply as goddess worship, for they were profoundly skeptical of what actually could be known of the theos with which theology is concerned. In this regard they were, several centuries later, greatly admired by Cicero and some other Italians of his day that he knew personally, perhaps in part because although they were Greeks, they were at least from Southern Italy. By contrast, the skepticism of some of these Greeks was disparaged by Plato as mere sophistry. Yet, some modern scholars see implicit in it the contours of a sophisticated theory of language. This relates to the logos of theology: the way such Greeks not only spoke about 'god', but spoke to 'god' in prayer, and conceptualized speaking itself as the revelation of 'god' as the speaker.
This helps explain why these Greeks expressed their theology exclusively in poetry, provided it is understood what poetry meant to them. At issue is the underlying meaning of the verb from which 'poetry' derives: poiein, meaning 'to do' or 'to make.' Speaking itself was seen to be the last step in a three part process. That process starts with experience–it might be in a dream or a trance–but it is an experience charged with spiritual energy. That leads to thinking. Only after that thinking is there the motivation to speak–to 'do' something about it or 'make' something of it (that is, to poetize). In this sense poetry might not necessarily be in a particular meter or have regular rhythmic patterns: the point was to speak with or from inspiration in order to cause something to happen.
Though the evidence for such a theory is quite fragmentary for the time when these Greeks lived, the evidence for how it influenced Cicero and his friends is abundant and of considerable interest because of the way in which it came to be absorbed into Latin theology. To begin with, the sequence of experience, thinking and then poetizing by itself has profound implications. Construed in this way theology is not only grounded in experience, but quite literally evolves from experience (Cicero uses the Latin verb from which 'evolves' derives in describing one aspect of this theory). The irony today, of course, is that evolution, as a theory of how all experience is understood and communicated, thus appears to derive from the theological tradition.
Another important aspect of the theology of this mode of thinking relates to gender issues. For at its most basic level experience, as pure existence, has no gender. Furthermore, there is no basis for excluding in advance the experience of any one person (regardless of gender) in preference to another. Indeed, because experience purely as existence has no characteristics whatsoever some mistakenly refer to such a theology as 'negative,' even though it quite obviously could not be more positive because of its basis in actual experience.
What is thus most ironic of all about the theology of the Greeks of Southern Italy is that it appears to have been so far ahead of where theology is today.

I agree with you that Plato's wiorld and body-denying philosophy in the form of Neo-Platonism was one of the main sources of misogyny in later western philosophy and theology. As I have written, Plato thought that birth into this world through the body of a woman just isn't good enough–thereby rejecting all world-affirming spiritual views and rejecting the metaphor of birth through a female body as one of the ways of speaking of the Source of Life as Great Mother.
However, patriarchy and war were firmly entrenched in the midsets of Homer and Hesiod and in their versions of Greek mythology long before Plato. In addition, they were poets, so I don't think poetry vs theology is the only issue.
Plato can be accused of codifying a world denying view but he cannot be accused of originating the views that celebrated patriarchy and its partners, war and domination.
What sources in Italy are you referring to? Your assertions remain cryptic to the average reader of your blog.
Thank you for your comments.
I have extensive notes elaborating upon what I say here and references to primary and secondary material on my blog: http://studysappho.blogspot.com/
The notes and references include hyperlinks to other material as well.

I agree with your insights, Carol- thank you for taking the time to reply, and thank you for sharing you for initiating the dialogue, Stuart.
Good ol' Plato–maybe he should have stayed in that cave! Thanks for writing this. It's good to remember that Aphrodite was more than just a love and/or sex goddess but a true Great Creatrix. We also need to remember, of course, that the Old Testament god and his prophets (and kings) were also misogynists.
Thank you. If you get a chance you might be interested in the comparison of this I make in my Notes and References (footnote 12) to Hua-Yen Buddhism, including a link to a comparison of a Greek sculpture of a goddess (Tyche/Aphrodite) and a Buddhist sculpture of Quan Yin.

"There is evidence of a widespread belief there that people were born with Aphrodite within them, guiding their thoughts and actions throughout their life." This I find most interesting. The whole idea of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit based in a truth which was once expressed differently.
Thanks for posting the direct link to the Notes and References: regarding indwelling spirit–that is based largely on some lines of Empedocles (Greek and translation in the Notes); also, if you have not already, check out the links in the Notes to the translation and analysis of 3 lines of Nazianzus's poetry and the piece on 'Falling into a Coma.'

Reblogged this on Adventures and Musings of an Arch Druidess.
I never heard of 'reblog' but obviously that is a compliment . . . so thank you.

Thank you for your post. I enjoyed your thoughts and all the comments as well, especially the joke about Plato, though I'm glad he didn't stay in his cave, for despite his intense fears and judgement of the body I have to admit how much I enjoy his dialogues. That being said, I also spent some time processing the experience of being female in a world that doesn't acknowledge the divine feminine. In doing so, a poem did emerge and I offer it here as part of the conversation.

Thanks. I enjoyed your poem and would like to see the video when it comes out.

The ancient Sumerians/Babylonians had numerous images of their major goddess, Inanna/Ishtar, depicting her as bearded, standing on her lion, surrounded by stars (indicating her precedence over the heavenly heirarchy), and holding her bow and arrows. The concept of a dual gendered deity predated the formation of the Mycenian states into what would become Greece. S/he was the deity of love and procreation, but also of war.

Hi Stuart, I enjoyed your sharing on Plato and of course learning a more ancient tradition around Aphrodite. I am delighted to learn this, thank you so much. As Ms. Christ and Ms. Ardinger indicated it seems Plato was more a product and reflection of the negative attitudes and projections toward women already well entrenched in the ancient world. The Counsel of Nicea removed the Gospel of Mary Magdelene in I believe 325 AD (along with other Gospels such as Thomas) so that is another undermining of the role of the Divine Feminine in Christian tradition being completely stripped out of that tradition even before Plato's commentaries. I find the Counsel of Nicea's actions so damaging to the western psyche, i.e. denying the evidence of Jesus's spiritual partner/consort/twin flame, thereby leveraging that to concentrate designate, associate spiritual power and authority with the Divine Masculine figure via Jesus exclusively. Scholarship says that Rabbi's could only be official once married, so Jesus had to have been very likely married to the Magdelene and the apostle's probably followed suit. There are only vague, confused, cryptic references to Mary Magdelene in the New Testament. Margaret Starbird has been a great help to me personally in framing a better understanding of Mary Magdelene as a representative of the Divine Feminine through her scholarly works. Thanks to all of you for this interesting dialogue.
Thank you very much. I am glad that I have been able to contribute something of value.

BEFORE MISOGYNY CONTAMINATED THEOLOGY was an interesting article and expressed some ideas that triggered and answered questions I have contemplated for many years. This particular quote,"There is evidence of a widespread belief there that people were born with Aphrodite within them, guiding their thoughts and actions throughout their life. In addition to this psychological dimension, there was a cosmological one, for Aphrodite also was believed to be at the center of the cosmos, governing the entire universe. Aphrodite 'within' underlies the belief in an individual soul (psyche–feminine gender in Greek) as well as in a world soul, most familiar in the West due to Latin translations as the anima mundi."
The Goddess has been expressed in many ways throughout history, however this explains what the ancients tried to communicate with their stories. The Goddess is within. If we understand that Aphrodite was equated with Hathor in Egypt from pre-dynastic times and in the Sumerian culture with Ninhursag we find the same ideas expressed in their writings.
Misogyny began in Prehistoric times, going back perhaps before the ice age and written records. Nevertheless, the Mother of All remains in the psyche and continues to be expressed by whatever name she is known by, whether it be Aphrodite, Hathor, Mary Magdalene, or the Madonna.
Thank you for your contribution and the enlightenment on a subject of current contemplation.
Thank you. The primary evidence for what you quote derives from some lines of the poetry of Empedocles. In the Greek the lines are 'tears in the eye, jaw dropping' beautiful. I provide the text and translation in my Notes and References (under the 'Feminism & Religion tab on my blog: http://studysappho.blogspot.com/). When misogyny began no one knows, but everyone will know when it ends.

Biografia
Nacque a Misilmeri, provincia di Palermo, il 13 settembre 1919-. Dopo aver frequentato la Scuole di avviamento industriale di Palermo fu assunto presso la locale filiale dell'Alfa Romeo. Appassionatosi al mondo dell'aviazione, nel novembre 1938 si arruolò nella Regia Aeronautica. Fu subito inviato alla Scuola tecnica "Bernini" di Napoli dove seguì il 19º Corso normale motoristi della 4ª Zona Aerea Territoriale (Z.A.T.), venendo nominato motorista nell'ottobre 1939. Passato in forza al 7º Stormo Bombardamento Terrestre di stanza a Lonate Pozzolo, fu nominato aviere scelto nel mese di dicembre. All'atto della dichiarazione di guerra da parte del Regno d'Italia a Francia e Gran Bretagna, avvenuta il 10 giugno 1940, si trasferì alla 172ª Squadriglia Autonoma Ricognizione Strategica di stanza sull'aeroporto di Bresso, ed equipaggiata con i Fiat B.R.20 Cicogna. Il 15 giugno decollò su un B.R.20 per eseguire una missione di ricognizione strategica nel corso della battaglia delle Alpi Occidentali. Il suo velivolo fu intercettato ed abbattuto su cielo di Cannet-des-Maures. Rimasto ferito, mentre stava per abbandonare l'aereo in fiamme non esitò ad aiutare il suo comandante gravemente ferito, rimanendo così ucciso. Per onorarne la memoria fu decretata la concessione della Medaglia d'oro al valor militare.

We have been engaged in the mediation process the last two days and although the employer showed slight movement it in our opinion fell short of achieving a fair collective agreement. The employer has stated they will be commencing making special payments on our pension plan July 1st 2014 and once enacted our plan benefits and contribution rates will stay as they are. It has been stated that the potential for retroactive pay will no longer exist if they enact making special payments. Based on our pension experts legal advice the value of keeping our benefits as they equates to approx. $2600.00 per member or roughly 5% per year. The wage package offered leaves us at 92.9% of the Western Canadian Average. We believe that keeping our defined benefit plan as is especially with the employer offering minor wage adjustments for some classification was and still is your expectation. They have not moved off their wage/pension proposal that you rejected on two occasions. We have no further talks scheduled at this time but will keep you informed as any information becomes available.

Rybaczek amazoński (Chloroceryle amazona) – gatunek średniej wielkości ptaka z podrodziny rybaczków (Cerylinae) w rodzinie zimorodkowatych (Alcedinidae). Zamieszkuje Meksyk, Amerykę Centralną i Południową. Nie jest zagrożony.

Systematyka
Gatunek ten został po raz pierwszy opisany naukowo przez Johna Lathama w 1790 roku. Jest blisko spokrewniony z rybaczkiem zielonym (C. americana). Nie wyróżnia się podgatunków. Populacje z północy zasięgu proponowano zaliczyć do podgatunku mexicana ze względu na większy rozmiar i niewielkie różnice w upierzeniu, ale zmiany te mają charakter klinalny.

Występowanie
Rybaczki amazońskie występują od Meksyku przez Amerykę Centralną aż po południową Brazylię, Urugwaj i środkową Argentynę. Spotyka się je przeważnie do 1200 m n.p.m., ale w Wenezueli aż do 2500 m n.p.m. Żyją nad dużymi, wolno lub szybko płynącymi rzekami z bystrzami i głębokimi plosami, nad brzegami jezior i nad zadrzewionymi lagunami; sporadycznie nad lagunami z wodą słonawą, naturalnymi kanałami pośród namorzynów i w estuariach.

Morfologia
Rybaczek amazoński ma ciemnozieloną głowę i plecy. Dziób czarny i masywny, co odróżnia go od rybaczka popielatego. U samca występuje rdzawa obroża na piersi, której samica nie ma. Obie płcie mają za to mały czubek z piór.

Długość ciała do 30 cm. Masa ciała: samce 98–120 g, samice 125–140 g.

Ekologia
Gatunek drapieżny; odżywia się rybami, owadami i ich larwami oraz skorupiakami. Atakuje ofiary, wykonując pikowanie.

Samica składa 3–4 jaja w specjalnie wykopanej norce zakończonej komorą o długości 25 cm i średnicy 45 cm. Tylko samica przez 22 dni wysiaduje jaja, a samiec donosi jej w tym czasie pokarm. Co ciekawe, ptaki nie mogą manewrować, więc z nory wychodzą tyłem. Po miesiącu maluchy opuszczają gniazdo, będąc ciągle pod kontrolą rodziny.

Status
Międzynarodowa Unia Ochrony Przyrody (IUCN) uznaje rybaczka amazońskiego za gatunek najmniejszej troski (LC – Least Concern) nieprzerwanie od 1988 roku. Liczebność światowej populacji, według szacunków organizacji Partners in Flight z 2019 roku, mieści się w przedziale 0,5–5 milionów osobników, a jej trend uznawany jest za spadkowy.

My research seeks to understand the daily lives of workers who are swept up in globalization processes. I am currently focusing on Mexican workers who surreptitiously cross over to earn a living in the US, or as it is known in Mexico, el otro lado (the other side). Estimates reveal that one of every five working-age Mexicans has moved to the US for employment and the southeastern US has become a significant new destination. I have also documented the daily lives of Mexican workers in the maquila export sector in northern Mexico. While these maquila workers do not cross international borders, maquila factories rely on massive investments that do cross borders in a ...

We have already been using Desitin ointment for heat sink compound, kitchen breadboards for radio breadboards, Scotchbrite pads for polishing, nail polish varnish for toroidal core coating and Olive oil as a field-expedient lubricant. (Am I forgetting anything?) But I must say I was a bit taken aback by KV4QB's mention of his innovative use of the dilute hydrochloric acid in toilet bowl cleaners in his PC board fabrication process. Good one DuWayne! Eric Guth went the extra mile be suggesting a recycling of the liquid.

-- SDR - Satan's Digital Radio?
-- Nor'Easter knocks out Bill's Moxon -- An appliance replacement?
-- Homebrew Electret Mics. Seriously.
I was on the verge of not going to the Vienna Wireless Society's Winterfest Hamfest this year. We had just returned from a long trip. I was tired. Armand WA1UQO bailed due to a family obligation. But, since this is about the only hamfest that regularly attend, and because it is only about 5 miles down the road, I went.
It was kind of a Hallicrafters day. I even saw an Hallicrafters TV! See above.
Nothing big followed me home. I got a couple of nice variable caps (one with a reduction drive). A Radio Shack speaker. Some coax. A project box of BITX40 size. A Weller soldering gun slightly less beat up than the one I've had since age 13.
I got to meet Richard Choy of Midway Electronics. He has a business out in the Shenandoah Valley and is selling a neat little 2 watt CW transceiver kit. Go to midwayelecrronics.us/qrp for more info.
Oh yea, I got a kick out of this ENORMOUS BFO. I almost bought it for Pete (who is so fond of tiny little oscillators). This is a real Boatanchor BFO. I wonder how many Si5351s you could put in that box?
Thanks to VWS for putting on the 'fest. In spite of the S-38s, I had fun.
The attached picture is your DC receiver. A little tweaking left to do as the range right now is ~ 7.44Mhz to 7.032Mhz. I used one of Farhan's trifillars and a couple of air coils that you gave me last year. Listening to the Wisconsin QSO party as I type.
FB Armand! The receiver looks great. I hope others will follow your lead and build this simple little receiver for 40.
Don't be such a microphone appliance operator. Whip up some of your own electret material and turn it into a mic. Imagine how the audio adjustment guys will react when you tell them you are using a special, tailor-made, homebrew electret material that gives added PRESENCE and BRIGHTNESS and SPARKLE. Wow. Minds will be blown. A cottage industry could be launched.
Who out there can save us from further Dishal distress? Who has one of these fantastic bits of old test gear and is willing to donate it to the cause of accurate filter building?
Thanks to Tore LB4RG for alerting us to this gem.
The north-east region of the U.S. is experiencing a very strong winter storm. These storms are called "Nor-Easters"- that describes their track up the coast. Here, we had wind gusts at 71 mph -- that was around what we had with Hurricane Sandy. But no rain or snow down here -- it is a different story in New England.
I was on the air, having a nice chat with Ivo OP2A on 17 when suddenly my SWR went way up. I knew immediately what had happened. I stepped outside and saw what you see above.
Oh well, we had a good run. It went up there on July 20, 2014. Not bad for some fiberglass poles from Amazon, some scrap lumber and some wire from Steve Silverman (thanks Steve).
To tell you the truth I was kind of hoping this would happen. I'll replace it with a Moxon or a Hex that covers at least 20 and 17.

Faster, Please!
Feds Move Against Iranian Mosques; 1st Amendment Rears Its Head
By Michael Ledeen Nov 12, 2009 10:47 PM ET
It's undoubtedly sheer coincidence as Michael Rubin told the AP, but just as the debate over Hasan-Son-of-Allah takes on greater intensity, the Justice Department has moved to seize what is says are Iranian assets in America. They have tagged four mosques and the Piaget Building at 650 Fifth Avenue in New York, New York.
This is stage two of an ongoing action against the Alavi Foundation, and what the government alleges to be a front company, the Assa Corporation. The government brief, in claiming that these organizations are simply agents of the Iranian regime, states that a series of Iranian UN Ambassadors, along with high-ranking officials such as a deputy prime minister (a post that has not existed for twenty years; it's now deputy president), have been involved in management. Taken together, the mosques and the skyscraper are worth a lot (hundreds of millions of dollars); the headlines rightly say this could be one of the biggest counterterrorism operations in American history.
It's a counterterrorism operation because Iran tops the State Department's list of state sponsors of terrorism, and other Iranian entities–banks and companies all over the world, as well as Iranian officials–have been targeted by the US Government.
The unusual feature of the case is the move against religious institutions, the mosques and schools associated with them. I have been saying ever since 9/11 that this would prove to be an extremely messy problem, albeit an urgent one. Radical mosques, whether (as in this case) Shi'ite or (as in the many more numerous Saudi-sponsored) Sunni ones are frequently centers of jihadi indoctrination. The case of Major Hasan demonstrates this, as he was in close contact with imams of such mosques, as were some of the 9/11 terrorists. Not all mosques produce terrorists, it has been said, but terrorists frequent mosques, and, as in the case of the assassin of Daniel Pearl, otherwise normal people have turned to jihad because they were inspired by books and sermons from radical mosques.
Yet we have traditionally insisted that even such incendiary texts and sermons are "protected speech," protected by the First Amendment guarantees of free speech and free religion. As the AP story linked above puts it:
It is extremely rare for U.S. law enforcement authorities to seize a house of worship, a step fraught with questions about the First Amendment right to freedom of religion.
The story continues:
The action against the Shiite Muslim mosques is sure to inflame relations between the U.S. government and American Muslims, many of whom are fearful of a backlash after last week's Fort Hood shooting rampage, blamed on a Muslim American major.
"we are concerned that the seizure of American houses of worship could have a chilling effect on the religious freedom of citizens of all faiths and may send a negative message to Muslims worldwide," said Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
As luck would have it, that Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is the featured subject in today's Washington Times. The article suggests that CAIR–which has never registered as a lobbying organization– has skated very close to the edge of acting as an advocate for Iran. Which squares the circle: religious freedom is invoked to protect organizations that, according to the Feds, act to spread the doctrines used to recruit terrorists, and to advance the interests of the Iranian regime.
We will have plenty of time to debate the fine points, one of which is whether religious speech is subject to any restriction. Justice Holmes said that there is no right to (falsely) yell "fire" in a crowded theater; even the First Amendment doesn't permit anyone to say anything. Is it unreasonable to ban calls to jihad? Lord knows that "hate speech" is punished all over the Western world nowadays. Doesn't incitement to violence, let alone murder, qualify?
We'll get some answers. Not quickly, of course; those wheels of justice grind slowly. But at least it's on the docket now. We need this debate. We should have had it long since. But on at least one point there should be no disagreement. If the Feds are right, the Alavi Foundation collects rent in the U.S. and send the profits to Tehran. That's just not acceptable.

I've worked with Keri a few times on images for her business, so I was delighted when she got in touch early last year to ask if I could help with a special family photo shoot.
As there's now many miles separating them, her and her siblings are rarely all together - however the next time was going to be in March! And they have a favourite family picture, taken many years ago, that they were keen to recreate - albeit now with a few additions!
So on a rather chilly Saturday morning we headed off to Pittville Pump Rooms in Cheltenham to see what we could do!
Lots of laughs and lots of cold noses! - though I'm reliably assured they all warmed up with hot drinks (in the pub!) afterwards!
And we got a great set of images to add to the family memory bank - as Keri said when she saw the images for the first time, "we absolutely LOVE THESE!!".
