	<description><![CDATA[<p>I wasn't going to bother posting about it, but since my absence is turning out to be a few months rather than the few days I expected, here it is.<br />In early October I moved back to the old country. Since then, one wacky misadventure after another has delayed me in getting a new computer, so I only get online when I can make it to an internet cafe. This isn't often, as I've been working massive amounts of overtime lately. <br />I will most definitely be back full-time within the next month or two, and the shit I've been through in the mean time ought to provide plenty of comic material. Between that and the upcoming elections, expect my comic output to start rivaling grouchobeer's. (Well, in quantity, at least...)</p>

<div style="text-align: justify;">This is one of the more enjoyable comic series to come out in the past year. It's still in it's infancy and isn't steeped in an incomprehensible continuity like Marvel's Civil War or DC's 52, so now's a great time to jump on board.<br />The Bomb Queen is the smart, sexy, sadistic supervillian who rules the city of New Port with an iron fist and an enigmatic black cat at her side, and the diverse array of miscreants populating the bustling metropolis couldn't be happier.<br />Writer/artist Jimmie Robinson has created a visually stunning mix of exciting action sequences, witty dialog, psychotic and sexual deviance, socio-political satire, and a heroine/villainess who's more fun than a church full of C-4.<br />Click <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bomb-Queen-Woman-Mass-Destruction/dp/1582406316">HERE</a> to order the first volume, Woman of Mass Destruction, from amazon.com.<br />Or look <a href="http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?t=97486">HERE</a> to see some sample pages and talk to Jimmie Robinson himself.<br /><a href="http://imagecomics.com/news.php?content=bombqueen051130">Image Comics</a><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomb_Queen">Bomb Queen on Wikipedia</a><br /><br />

	<description><![CDATA[Thanks to <a href="http://www.myspace.com/operationinfluence">Operation Influence</a> for this one.<br /><br /><font size="2">
<h2>Top Ten Orwellian Moments of 2006</h2>
<div class="entry-body">
<p><a false="" return="" width="450,height=626,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0');" _blank="" href="http://blog.wfmu.org/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/orwell_micflag450.jpg.."><img width="210" height="292" border="0" style="margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; float: left;" src="http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/images/orwell_micflag450.jpg" title="Orwell_micflag450" alt="Orwell_micflag450" /></a>For all the talk about the threat of &quot;Little Brother&quot; this year (youtubers and bloggers ready to distribute celebrity and citizen malfeasance within minutes), Big Brother still got some life in him yet. Here are some of his finest moments from the last year:</p>
<p>1) <strong>Fox News airs an infomercial for torture.</strong> On the November 3rd Greta Van Susteren show, reporter Steve Harrigan submitted himself to waterboarding, declaring:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>As far as torture goes, at least in this controlled experiment, to me, this seemed like a pretty efficient mechanism to get someone to talk and then still have them alive and healthy within minutes.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>2) <strong>Federal semantics eliminates the hunger problem.</strong> In November, The United States Department of Agriculture replaces the word &quot;hunger&quot; with the phrase &quot;low food security&quot; in its annual report on hunger in America. Problem solved! <a href="http://www.baptiststandard.com/postnuke/index.php?module=htmlpages&amp;func=display&amp;pid=5798">Link</a>.</p>
<p>3) <strong>Defending the First Amendment by proposing that we scrap it.</strong> At a New Hampshire event dedicated to freedom of speech, Newt Gingrich declares that the United States will have to re-examine that particular constitutional right as it fights terrorism. <a href="http://www.wcsh6.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=46347">Link</a>. Said Newt: &quot;This is a serious, long-term war. It will inevitably lead us to want to know what is said in every suspect place in the country. It will lead us to learn how to close down every Web site that is dangerous.&quot;</p>
<p>4) <strong>Halliburton contracts to build large detention camps in the US.</strong> In January, KBR, a subsidiary of Halliburton was awarded a 385 million dollar contract from the Department of Homeland Security to build &quot;Detention and Removal&quot; facilities to help &quot;in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or <em>to support the rapid development of new programs that require additional detention space.&quot; </em>Links:  <a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/News/Story/Story.aspx?guid=%7B62C8724D%2DAE8A%2D4B5C%2D94C7%2D70171315C0A0%7D&amp;dateid=38741%2E5136277662%2D858254656&amp;siteID=mktw&amp;scid=0&amp;doctype=806">1</a>   <a href="http://www.altmuslim.com/perm.php?id=1665_0_25_0_C">2</a>   <a href="http://www.buzzflash.com/farrell/06/02/far06003.html">3</a>   <a href="http://news.ncmonline.com/news/view_article.html?article_id=de9dd9fbbbbd59388d802c3f4e0e1288">4</a></p>
<p>5) <strong>The Inexorable Worldwide Rollout of RFID Chips. </strong>Although it's not moving as quickly as the RFID industry would like, 2006 saw the addition of electronic ID chips to <a href="http://management.silicon.com/government/0,39024677,39153665,00.htm">US passports</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/radio-on-nike-ipod-sport-kit-could-be-used-to-track-you/">Nikes and iPods</a>, <a href="http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/southflorida/sfl-creptiles22dec22,0,3195554.story?coll=sfla-news-sfla">Florida pythons</a>, <a href="http://networks.silicon.com/lans/0,39024663,39122042,00.htm">Japanese schoolchildren</a>, <a href="http://networks.silicon.com/lans/0,39024663,39129743,00.htm">German hospital patients</a> and <a href="http://www.silicon.com/retailandleisure/0,3800011842,39162467,00.htm">boozing Brits</a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="entry-more">
<p>6)  <strong>Stay What?</strong> After years of characterizing US policy in Iraq as &quot;Stay the course,&quot; the Bush administration not only drops the phrase, but denies it ever existed. On October 23rd, Bush declared &quot;We've never been 'stay the course.'&quot;</p>
<p>7) <strong>Guilty Until Proven Innocent: Carrying Cash is a Crime.</strong> In August, a federal court ruled that the government can seize cash from an individual, even if that individual has not been accused of a crime and has no criminal record. <a href="http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/12/1296.asp">Link to Article</a>  |  <a href="http://www.thenewspaper.com/rlc/docs/2006/moneyseize.pdf">Link to Ruling</a> (pdf)</p>
<p>8) <strong>The Automated Targeting System.</strong> In November, the Federal Register revealed the existence of the Automated Targeting System, a Department of Homeland Security program for identifying terrorists and criminals, which cross references all people entering or leaving the country with a host of personal data which they are not allowed to see or correct. Links: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_Targeting_System">1</a>  <a href="http://www.forbes.com/opinions/free_forbes/2007/0108/032.html">2</a>  <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,236539,00.html">3</a>  <a href="http://news.com.com/Homeland+Security+official+Travelers+dont+get+terror+scores/2100-7348_3-6145428.html">4</a></p>
<p>9) <strong>NSA Warrantless Surveillance and Crypto-City. </strong>Although the NSA's secret spying program broke in late 2005, the controversy took up much of 2006, culminating in the August ruling by Detroit District Court that the program was unconstitutional and illegal under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. It continues nonetheless. And yet, through all of this, there's been almost no discussion of the NSA's secret city north of Washington, DC, called Crypto-City. Crypto-City links: <a href="http://www.spiegel.de/international/spiegel/0,1518,416136,00.html">1</a>  <a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/features/bamford/book.html">2</a>  <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/30/AR2005123001594.html">3</a><strong><br /> </strong></p>

<p class="blogContent"><img width="300" height="249" border="1" src="http://infowars.net/pictures/dec06/211206toddlers.jpg" alt="" />  </p>
<p align="left" class="headllinenew"><font face="Arial"><span class="headlinenew"><strong><font size="5">The War On Toddlerism<br /></font></strong></span><span class="subhead">Treating children as young as four as sexual deviants, criminals and subversives emphasizes slip towards the police state</span></font>  </p>
<div align="left">
<p class="mediumtext1"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2"><em>Steve Watson</em><br /></font></font><a href="http://infowars.net/"><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Infowars.net</font></a><br /><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thursday, December 21, 2006</font></p>
<p align="left">Nothing emphasizes the decline of America into an authoritarian police state more than the treatment of children as possible enemies, deviants or criminals. A few cases, involving very young children, have caught our attention this month that indicate in the current climate any sniff of power is corrupting absolutely those who believe they have it.</p>
<p align="left">The <strong><a href="http://infowars.net/articles/december2006/211206Buttocks.htm">AP reported</a></strong> today that a five year old boy has been accused of sexually harassing a kindergarten classmate:</p>
</div>
<blockquote>
<div align="left">
<p><em>Washington County school officials told Charles Vallance that his son pinched a girl's buttocks earlier this month in a hallway at Lincolnshire Elementary School. The school says that meets the state's definition of sexual harassment. </em></p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div align="left">
<p>The father of the child insists that his son knows nothing about sex and was just playing. Nevertheless the &quot;offence&quot; will remain on the child's file.</p>
<p>This is not an isolated case. The same report from the AP says that in Marlyland alone, where this incident took place, 28 kindergarten students were suspended for sex offenses in the last school year - 15 of those suspensions for sexual harassment. </p>
<p>Earlier this month a <strong><a href="http://infowars.net/articles/december2006/081206Touching.htm">four year old boy was accused</a></strong> of &quot;improperly touching&quot; a female school employee. The principal of La Vega Primary School sent a letter to the parents of the boy that said the pre-kindergartener demonstrated &quot;inappropriate physical behavior interpreted as sexual contact and/or sexual harassment.&quot; </p>
<p>The school says that the boy rubbed his face in the chest of the employee. Again the parents were outraged insisting that a four year old cannot know what it means to act sexually.</p>
<p>What kind of sick light does this put America into where teachers and school officials are suspending children barely beyond the age of toddlers for sexual deviancy? </p>
<p>Just because adult culture has become saturated in sex does not mean that children no longer have innocent minds and must be treated as if they are corrupted little perverts.</p>
<p><img width="300" height="198" border="1" src="http://infowars.net/pictures/dec06/211206interested_girl.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Furthermore, the double standards on display here are astounding given that kindergarten children are now being taught sex education in some schools. Some even go as far as to have &quot;diversity&quot; programs whereby kids as young as four and five are taught about gay sex. <strong><a href="http://infowars.net/Pages/Apr05/300405gay_education.html">One Father in Lexington was jailed</a></strong> for opposing this, as if he was some kind of evil person for not wanting his child, a baby barely out of nappies, to be taught anything about sex, especially gay sex.</p>
<p>''This is not about creating a forum for hate . . . for any segment of society,&quot; Mr Parker said after his arraignment. ''I'm just trying to be a good dad.&quot;</p>
<p>The war on toddlerism doesn't stop with sex either. </p>
<p>There have been all kinds of cases all over the country that paint a picture postcard which illustrates the downfall of America into a police state divorced from any form common sense or reason. Here is a short list of links you can check:</p>

<p>Last month we also reported the story of a <strong><a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/november2006/081106Disciplined.htm">fifth grader named 'Mark'</a></strong> who called in to Alex Jones' Infowars TV show by phone and reported that he had been sent home with a disciplinary report for visiting 9/11 Truth websites such as Infowars.com. </p>
<p>Mark's father revealed that the school has also approached him, recommending a psych test for behavior such as &quot;running&quot; and &quot;making farting noises.&quot; Indeed every child would be subject to behavioral testing under The President's &quot;<strong><a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/june2004/062104mentalillness.htm">New Freedom initiative</a></strong>.&quot;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, schools like Lee Middle School in Wyoming, Michigan conduct drills where police officers burst in and <strong><a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/november2006/011106terrorizeschool.htm">point guns at children's heads</a></strong>, all without informing the students or the school beforehand. &quot;Some parents,&quot; the AP reported, &quot;were upset.&quot; </p>
<p><img width="350" height="238" border="1" src="http://infowars.net/pictures/dec06/21120606drill.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&quot;Some kids were so scared,&quot; said Marge Bradshaw, the mother of one of the students, &quot;they wet their pants.&quot; </p>
<p>This is part of a chilling effect to nullify even the pursuit of freedom of speech. How does it reflect upon the nature of discourse in a free society when even the principal of an elementary school feels the need to crush the desire of enquiring young minds who are simply trying to learn more about the seminal event in American history?</p>
<p>Schools are being transformed into prisons where freedom of thought and expression in education has given way to an enflamed environment of paranoid suspicion.</p>
<p>Beyond schools, baby milk is being taken from mothers at airports and babies are being <strong><a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/december2006/201206Baby.htm">put through x-ray machines</a></strong> because they could be terrorists.</p>
<p>In a broader sense this is indicative of the decline of everything good about America. When it has got to the point where children are looked upon as possible sex criminal terrorists what hope do fully grown citizens have of not being treated in the same manner?</p>

            <p>The Rational Response Squad is giving away <strong>1001 DVDs</strong> of <em><a href="http://www.thegodmovie.com/index.php">The God Who Wasn't There</a></em>, the hit documentary that the <em>Los Angeles Times</em> calls &quot;provocative -- to put it mildly.&quot;   </p>
            <p>There's only one catch: We want your soul.  </p>
            <p>It's simple. You record a short message damning yourself to Hell, you upload it to YouTube, and then the Rational Response Squad will send you a <strong>free</strong> <em>The God Who Wasn't There</em> DVD. It's that easy.   <br />  </p>
            <h3>INSTRUCTIONS:</h3>
            <p>You may damn yourself to Hell however you would like, but somewhere in your video you must say this phrase: &quot;I deny the Holy Spirit.&quot; </p>
            <p>Why? Because, according to Mark 3:29 in the Holy Bible, &quot;Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin.&quot; Jesus will forgive you for just about anything, but he <em>won't</em> forgive you for denying the existence of the Holy Spirit. Ever. This is a one-way road you're taking here.  <!--
            <p>Of course, how likely is it that there actually <i>is</i> a sky God who has a son who will take you to Heaven if you don't insult a ghost? Isn't it just as likely that there is a sky god who has a son who will take you to Heaven only if you <i>do</i> insult a ghost? Sure, we just made up that scheme, but it is as equally supported by evidence as the first one.
            <p>All we're saying is, you're taking chances either way. So why not get a free DVD?
            -->  </p>
            <p>Once you have shot your blasphemous video, just follow these two easy steps:  </p>
            <p><strong>1.</strong> Go to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/video_response_upload?v=i7QVbJnSPQE">this link</a> on YouTube to upload your video as a &quot;Video Response&quot; to the Blasphemy Challenge. (You can log in or register on that page if necessary.) Please put the URL http://www.blasphemychallenge.com somewhere in the text description when you upload your video. </p>
            <p><strong>2.</strong> When the video appears on YouTube, send the URL to this email address: waronchristmas@hotmail.com. Also include a complete United States mailing address* so we can send your free copy of <em>The God Who Wasn't There</em>.   </p>
            <p>That's it. We're only giving away 1001 DVDs, so blaspheme now. More questions are answered in the <a href="http://www.blasphemychallenge.com/faq.html">FAQ</a>. View the <a href="http://www.blasphemychallenge.com/pressrelease/">press release here</a>. View <a href="http://www.blasphemychallenge.com/mediacoverage.html">television coverage here</a>.  </p>
            <p><small><small>*Sorry, no free shipping outside the United States on DVDs. But international blasphemers will receive $35 worth of Rational Response Squad radio show downloads instead, or you can opt to pay the $8 shipping and handling for the DVD.</small></small>   </p>
