    TORONTO -Naeem Muhammad Khan wants everyone to “Support Our Troops,” but he’s not talking about the Canadian Forces in Kandahar.
    From his apartment in Toronto, Mr. Khan has been posting messages on the Internet calling Osama bin Laden a “hero” and “champion of Islam.”
    The 23-year-old fundamentalist’s online logo combines the black Taliban flag and the outline of an AK-47 above the “Support Our Troops” slogan.
    Between sips of iced coffee at Tim Hortons, Mr. Khan explained that he is a supporter of the Taliban, as well as other armed Islamic groups.
    ” ‘Support our Troops’ means supporting the mujahideen [Muslim soldiers of God] who are fighting for their freedom and rights against illegal occupation in many, many places over the world like Afghanistan, Iraq, Chechnya, Kashmir, Palestine and Somalia,” he said later in an e-mail

    Our Climate Numbers Are a Big Old Mess
    By PATRICK MICHAELS
    “This prompts the ultimate question: Why is the news on global warming always bad? Perhaps because there’s little incentive to look at things the other way. If you do, you’re liable to be pilloried by your colleagues. If global warming isn’t such a threat, who needs all that funding? Who needs the army of policy wonks crawling around the world with bold plans to stop climate change?
    But as we face the threat of massive energy taxes – raised by perceptions of increasing rates of warming and the sudden loss of Greenland’s ice – we should be talking about reality.”

    Why the Globe and Star should be celebrating skyrocketing food and fuel prices
    Dear Globe and Mail and Toronto Star:
    For 15 months, I’ve been saving your respective front pages from the glorious weekend of January 27-28, 2007, when you simultaneously declared your mutual jihads against man-made global warming.
    I knew they’d come in handy some day and now, they have.
    Indeed, it seems like only yesterday I awoke to my Saturday, January 27, 2007 Globe to be greeted by the hysterical, front-page headline “Welcome to the new climate,” under a politically correct green masthead, declaring at the bottom: “We want action. We’re ready for sacrifices.”
    Not to be outdone, the Star a day later had its own World War III, front-page headline, “State of denial: Do the skeptics of global warming have a hidden agenda?” — in the finest traditions of “do you deny beating your wife?” journalism.
    And now, here we are, just 15 months later and isn’t it great you both have exactly what you wanted — skyrocketing gasoline prices and about-to-skyrocket food prices — since as we both know, hitting energy-hogging Canadians in their pocketbooks is the only way to make them reduce their evil greenhouse gas emissions hard and fast. ”

    ** WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A cargo ship hired by the U.S. military fired warning shots at approaching boats in the Gulf, the U.S. Navy said on Friday, underscoring tension in the region as the Pentagon sharpened its warnings to Iran.
    After the boats failed to respond to radio queries and a warning flare, the cargo ship’s security team fired *a few bursts* of machine gun and rifle warning shots, according to Cmdr. Lydia Robertson, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Navy’s Bahrain-based Fifth Fleet.
    The news helped push oil prices up more than $3 to $119.50 a barrel — within striking distance of the record $119.90 hit earlier this week — as traders worried escalating tensions in the region could eventually disrupt crude shipments. **

    A Baltimore couple has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the Islamic investment bank that owns the Church’s Chicken fast-food chain, alleging their franchise failed because the bank’s strict adherence to the religious code of Shari’ah prohibited the couple from selling pork.
    Marcus and Denise Beasley, who are black, claimed they were treated differently by the bank, now known as Atlanta-based Arcapita Inc., than non-black franchisees who were allowed to continue serving breakfast dishes containing pork after the chain was acquired by the bank in December 2004.

  28. the plot tickens – from the Globe and Mail:
    Internet hijacking ‘disturbing’ says Ottawa woman
    COLIN PERKEL
    Canadian Press
    April 27, 2008 at 2:42 PM EDT
    TORONTO — A woman caught up in a mysterious Internet hijacking scandal that has sparked a federal privacy investigation into the Canadian Human Rights Commission says she was shocked, angry and confused at suddenly finding herself publicly associated with white supremacists.
    Speaking out for the first time, Nelly Hechme told The Canadian Press she was appalled to learn commission investigators might have hacked her Internet connection to post messages on supremacist websites.
    “It’s horrible,” Ms. Hechme said. “You never want something like that attached to your name.”
    Last month, an investigator with the Human Rights Commission told a hearing into a hate complaint that he made postings on websites under the password-protected pseudonym “Jadewarr.”
    In response to a subpoena, Bell Canada linked “Jadewarr” to Ms. Hechme’s personal Internet account, and provided her address and telephone number at the public hearing.
    The revelation quickly found its way into the media and became the Internet buzz among opponents of the rights commission.
    Ms. Hechme, 26, who lives close to the commission’s offices in Ottawa, said she was “completely shocked” when a reporter contacted her about the disclosure.
    “It was like the “Twilight Zone.” I didn’t know what the heck was going on,” said Ms. Hechme, an administrative assistant with Bell Canada.
    “I don’t like the fact that my information was just put out all over, including my age, where I live, pictures of where I live. It’s very disturbing.”
    So far, the commission has not explained why or how its investigators might have commandeered Ms. Hechme’s connection or offered any alternative explanation for how Ms. Hechme and “Jadewarr” became linked.
    Ian Fine, senior general counsel with the rights commission, said he was unable to comment on the specifics of the case in light of ongoing investigations but denied any wrongdoing.
    “We are quite confident that, at the end of the day, it will be established that the Canadian Human Rights Commission has done nothing untoward, nothing wrong, in this whole scenario,” Mr. Fine said.
    Ms. Hechme disputed an initial media report that her wireless Internet access was unsecured and therefore easily hacked. In fact, she said, it required an encryption key that could not have been guessed or casually cracked.
    When she forgot the key, even she couldn’t access the connection, she said.
    “It was so secure to the point I couldn’t get into it (so) I’m not sure how they got into it. It’s very bizarre.”
    Ms. Hechme said no one from the commission had contacted her. She has complained to the federal privacy office, which is formally investigating.
    “To say that I was surprised and shocked . . . is of course a huge understatement,” Ms. Hechme wrote to the privacy commissioner of Canada.
    “To find out that it was an agency of the federal government that was responsible brings the level of concern to a whole different level.”
    Mr. Fine said the rights commission would speak in June about its “investigative techniques” during closing submissions in the hate case involving Toronto website operator, Mark Lemire.
    Mr. Lemire has filed a criminal complaint against the commission, alleging theft of telecommunications and unlawful computer interference.
    Ms. Hechme, meanwhile, is pondering civil action, saying it’s not fair she’s been caught up in the murky web.
    She’s particularly distressed at finding her name associated with white supremacists and wonders whether that link — now firmly forged through the reach of the Internet — might come back to haunt her.
    “This is the part that bothers me the most. I don’t know if my name is going to be flagged if I want to cross the border, if I apply for a job,” she said.
    “I don’t even want anyone questioning my name. Ever.”

  30. Here’s an article—it is to laugh—by the fine Margaret Wente of the not so fine Globe and Mail, April 22, 2008:
    ________________
    HAVING IT BOTH WAYS The irresistible rise of eco-chic: Can you be both rich and green? Of course you can!
    ——————————————————————————–
    MARGARET WENTE mwente@globeandmail.com I am so glad Earth Day is over. My newspapers were crammed with special Earth Day supplements, which featured ads from major corporations earnestly explaining their commitment to the planet. I am sure these supplements were printed on recycled paper, but they cluttered up the house. Now that they are tucked away in the recycling bin, I can clutter up the house with the Real Estate sections, which I much prefer. These days, they are stuffed with artistic renderings of soaring towers and attractive couples who have discovered the Condo Lifestyle ($1.5-million and up).
    Can you be both rich and green? Of course you can! The reassuring message of those who have embraced eco-chic is that you really don’t have to give up a thing. With a few minor alterations in your habits and purchasing decisions, you can become both virtuous and chic.
    In fact, green virtue is the new chic.
    “Gorgeous guilt-free decorating,” promises the cover of Canadian House & Home, which is my absolutely favourite magazine. It does decor-porn with patriotic flare. It always features at least one house that I would die to live in. This month, it found a house whose living room is held up by huge, reclaimed beams from some ancient barn. The living room is furnished with eco-conscious sofas, which are made from CFC-free foam and wood that’s bonded with soy-based resins. There are no artificial materials anywhere in sight. Everything is made from stone, wood and natural fibre. Nothing is too done up, manicured or landscaped.
    “Connecting to the environment was important on so many levels,” explained the designer, who, like the owner, wanted everything to be eco-friendly. The house, which is a 4,000-square-foot structure on a lake, is described as a “pared-down summer retreat” that provides an escape from the hustle-bustle of the city, where the owners presumably make a living that’s good enough to buy their way back to nature.
    It has five bedrooms and four bathrooms, as well as a chandelier made from recycled driftwood, and light fixtures made from recycled antler horns.
    “Wood salvaged from local barns cuts down on deforestation,” advise the magazine’s editors, and that is just one of their many handy tips for going green. Recycling antique furniture helps to reduce landfill. Using locally sourced materials requires less transportation, and cuts down on fuel use and pollution. Although the article doesn’t say, I am sure the eco-conscious owners travel back and forth to their retreat by bicycle.
    The illusion of living simply and in harmony with nature has now become the highest expression of refined taste. It’s not a new idea – even Marie Antoinette played milkmaid at Versailles. But it requires a whole new set of status markers. Nothing should be ostentatious or showy. Crystal chandeliers are vulgar. But driftwood chandeliers announce that you are the kind of person who rejects objects that are ostentatious and showy. They are sure to inspire a pang of envy among your friends, just as crystal chandeliers once did in a crasser age.
    And while natural materials are always good, rare and costly natural materials are even better. That’s why reclaimed wood is such a brilliant concept. It allows you to have it both ways. It allows you to have fabulous wide-plank floors made from a majestic thousand-year-old Douglas fir that somebody chopped down 80 years ago. And you’re off the hook, because it wasn’t you who chopped it down. You’re just helping to reduce landfill.
    Recently, I found out just how much some people are willing to fork over for the illusion of living simply and reconnecting with the natural environment. We used to call this experience “summer camp.” But now, summer camp has been reinvented by the world’s newest and most chic resorts – the kind featured in European Elle. We stayed at one of these places. The entire resort was designed to create the illusion that you had been cast away on a fabulously beautiful tropical island where you could go barefoot all day. Not a single thing was plastic. The look was handcrafted, local and unpretentious, as if the design consultant had been Robinson Crusoe.
    In our room was a brochure explaining the resort’s commitment to environmental sustainability. It was bound in a rustic bamboo cover that had been made by local artisans. The signage consisted of crude wooden slabs on posts, with the kind of faux-primitive lettering carved into them that I hadn’t seen in 40 years. “Spa,” a sign would say, with an arrow pointing toward the spa, where gentle local people would rejuvenate you with natural healing essences at $120 a pop. The grounds, too, had been designed to look entirely natural, as if the place had never been landscaped or sprayed or mown at all. Of course, there were no cars. Instead, everybody rode around on bikes.
    We never planned to stay at this place. It was way too expensive.
    We wound up there at no extra charge because the place we’d booked was full. The actual price was around $1,000 a day, which is roughly twice the annual per-capita income of the Asian country in which it is located.
    We loved it. All the buildings had thatched roofs. Our beach house had a private pool made of locally sourced materials (low transportation costs!) and came with handmade biodegradable locally sourced organic soap. There was an outdoor shower with two different kinds of showerheads, so that you could pick the one you liked. There was a private butler and a pillow menu, with 14 different kinds of pillows, in case you didn’t like the ones you had. There was a flat-screen television.
    Best of all, every plastic bottle of complimentary water was covered in a little bag made out of unbleached cotton. Those folks had thought of everything! People don’t want to pay $1,000 a night to look at plastic bottles. It ruins the aesthetic.
    Of course, we felt a little silly too. We felt a bit like Marie Antoinette, and you know what happened to her. There’s nothing wrong with being eco-chic, I guess. But if you imagine that it makes you a better person, then you are seriously deluded.
    _____________________
    Then I sent it to Steve Paikin of TVO’s The Agenda, with this note:
    I appreciated your kind response [to me] after your Earth SaturDay show and my response to it.
    I’ve just seen this fine, sceptical, humourous Margaret Wente article at Media Net and couldn’t resist sending it along. Perhaps you’ve already done so, but a suggestion for one of your shows, as a balance to the one where everyone bought into the AGW “take”, is one where “deniers”—a particularly nasty, pejorative, propaganda term: I’d say sceptics—have a say. (Scepticism and constant testing are the mark of authentic scientists: “The science is settled” is an oxymoron.) Margaret Wente would be a fine guest. Terence Corcoran, Lawrence Solomon, and Peter Foster would be other choices, along with some scientists. (Let me know if you need the names of some.)
    As I’ve said, my husband and I have quite a minuscule carbon footprint compared to the AGW gurus and their more prominent followers, who would have difficulty, I think, even imagining our lifestyle. E.g., We have one semi-detached, 1700 square foot-for-four house, with oldish, not all matching—but it looks quite nice!—furniture, a tiny backyard, no air conditioning, an 18 year old DVD player, a 30 year old receiver and speakers for our radio and CDs (really!), an 11 year old Golf, no holidays away from home, except for three flights in ten years (return to England, when my husband’s and daughters’ choirs were singing in English cathedrals), very few clothing purchases or restaurant meals, etc. Believe me, I’m not complaining about this—or the lifestyles of those more prosperous than we are. We’re blessed. But we’re damned if we’re going to be lectured to by the elitists, such as Gore, Suzuki, and the Hollywood hypocrites who do not practise what they preach. (BTW, we left our few lights on on Earth Day. PR gimmicks don’t impress us.) If these people feel guilty—maybe they should—I suggest they shoulder and deal with their own guilt—the rest of us should be so fortunate!—and not foist it on to others, including both those who appreciate their bountiful lifestyles and those who have far less than they do. (IMO, AGW functions like a religion: carbon credits are just 21st century indulgences. How scheming and retrogressive is that?)
    I hope you’ll seriously consider the show proposal I’ve made.

  42. Geez Yukon Gold. I can’t believe you don’t get it. There was a BIG snowstorm in April of 1997. Covered the entire province with 12 – 18 inches of wet sloppy spring snow. A week later, the globe warmed and then all that snow melted, filled all the rivers in the province to overflowing and beyond. Thus, it follows, that the 1997 Flood was caused by global warming. Oh crap, I’m sorry, climate change. Oh crap, I’m sorry, a normal spring weather event albeit somewhat larger than the mean. Gee, maybe it wasn’t a global warming thing?
    Freaking Dippers. I continue to drive my big block powered 67 Plymouth just to annoy them. Hope it’s working!
