More on an Impoverished Culture - Galloway

Whether it is direct anti-Americanism or anti-Western Civilization, or indirect (as in the case of the Obamaessiah followers), the result is and will be the same - cultural arrogance they say, yet it is that same attitude that compels people like: British MP George Galloway to express admiration for Saddam Hussein and Gamal Abd Al-Nasser and to refer to Bush and Blair as "Dogs".

We live on two different planets.

A man who expresses admiration for one of the worst mass murderers of the last fifty years, is a man who deserves ignominy.

He took Saddam's money, he was bought, and paid for by the butcher of Baghdad - and he cannot admit wrong, or he would have to face his conscience, and that he cannot do. he must therefore live in a world of denial, the rest of his miserable wretched life.


[I do not suggest, connote, or imply that anyone need like Bush or Blair, rather the point is that a man who expresses admiration for the butcher of Baghdad - a man who, when history finishes counting, will be found to have sent 2 million Muslims to their deaths - that man is a worthless human being.]

Honor Killings

Karnal, India

Talk about ill.

This entire village deserves having a stake shoved through their skull.

Dead: 1) A young woman, six months pregnant. 2) A young man, her lover, a childhood friend.

The girl was strangled by her family, including her mother.

Both bodies were then put on display in the village. Villagers applauded the murders.

Wanna have a conversation with these villagers Senator.


How about these people Senator.

Vadodara: In another case of honour-killing, a man in Vadodara murdered his daughter for marrying against the wishes of the family.

Nineteen-year-old Vandana was allegedly shot by her own father – ex-armyman Jayvirsingh Bhadodiya – and later struck on the head with an axe.

Wanna negotiate with these people Senator?

And exactly what would you be negotiating?

- how they kill you?
- how slowly?
- when?

I'm curious - because that is not the America I believe in. I do not believe in an America that will sell out its citizens for a little safety, that ultimately is neither wise nor safe and reinforces their belief that negotiation is from a point of weakness, not strength - they will never negotiate in good faith, and we will die as a result fo your incompetence.

Update on The Monster of Austria - The Thank You Letter

...

In the wake of the Josef Frizl incest scandal that has rocked Austria, the public has been drawn into a veritable vortex of self-recrimination, denial, defensiveness, utter helplessness, and anger at way in which the spectacle has unfolded—shocking even the most callous observers of criminal endeavors.

Austrian father reveals his "addiction" to incest

By Karin Strohecker

VIENNA (Reuters) - Austrian Josef Fritzl said he became addicted to incest with his daughter, who bore him seven children, and had imprisoned her in a cellar to save her from the outside world.

In comments related by his lawyer to weekly magazine News, Fritzl, who locked up Elisabeth in 1984 when she was 18, said he started raping his daughter a year later.

"My drive to have sex with Elisabeth grew stronger and stronger," Fritzl was quoted as saying.
"I knew Elisabeth didn't want me to do what I did to her. I knew that I was hurting her. ... It was like an addiction ... In reality, I wanted children with her."

Elisabeth, 42, spent nearly a quarter of a century in a windowless cell in the basement of Fritzl's house, giving birth to seven of his children, now aged between 19 and 5 years.

Three of the children remained locked up with their mother in the basement and never saw sunlight until their fate was revealed nearly two weeks ago. Elisabeth has told police that Josef started sexually abusing her when she was 11.

Fritzl, who also has seven children with his wife Rosemarie, said he had locked up Elisabeth after she started to "break all the rules" following the onset of puberty.

She went to bars, drank alcohol and smoked, and ran away a couple of times, the 73-year-old said.

"I tried to get her out of that swamp, organized her an apprenticeship to become a waitress.

"I needed to take precautions, I needed to create a place in which I could at some point keep her away from the outside world, by force if necessary."

INESCAPABLE CYCLE

Fritzl said he found himself trapped in a inescapable cycle once he had locked up Elisabeth. He told his wife their daughter had joined a sect.

"I knew all the time, during the whole 24 years, that what I did was not right, that I must be crazy to do something like that," he said, referring to Elisabeth's underground world as his "empire".

"But nonetheless, it became a matter of course for me to lead a second life in the basement of my house."

Fritzl's lawyer, Rudolf Mayer, has said his client should have psychiatric tests to evaluate whether he is fit to stand trial. Mayer said he might ask for a second assessment should the official court opinion not reflect his client's personality.

Fritzl described himself as a man who valued decency and good manners, and said the emphasis on discipline in Nazi times, when he grew up, might have influenced him.

"Nonetheless, I am not the beast the media depicts me as.

"When I went into the bunker, I brought flowers for my daughter, and books and toys for the children, and I watched adventure videos with them while Elisabeth was cooking our favorite dish," he said.

"And then we all sat around the table and ate together."

Fritzl has been remanded in custody in the city of St Poelten. Mayer confirmed to Reuters that Fritzl's comments were authentic.

More on the Fritzl Family and the Monster

Elisabeth Fritzl: I never want to see Josef again

By Charlotte Wilkins

Last updated: 12:32 AM BST 12/05/2008


Elisabeth Fritzl, the woman held captive by her sadistic father for 24 years has spoken about her ordeal with her reunited family and has vowed she never wants to see her father's face again.


REUTERS

In an emotional reunion with her mother, Rosemarie Fritzl, the 42-year-old broke down in tears and said: "I can't believe I'm free – is it really you? I can't believe I'm out. I didn't think I would ever see you again. It's all too much for me. I don't ever want to see him again."

Ms Fritzl was also reunited with the three children that were taken away from her while she was forced to remain in the tiny dungeon with her three other children.

"My babies. You are so beautiful," Elisabeth said as she held them close and stroked their faces.
Elisabeth was drugged and lured into the cellar beneath her family home in Amstetten, Austria, when she was just 18.

Meanwhile her father, Josef Fritzl concocted an elaborate web of lies and convinced his family that she had run away to join a cult.

Her sister Gabriele Helm, 35, also described seeing her sister for the first time in 24 years:
"None of us can believe how normal Elisabeth seems. She is healthy and very chatty and doing very well.

"Every day she gets a bit stronger. I can't say what the family is going through. It's more than anyone can believe. It has devastated us.

"We are working together to support Elisabeth. She is overjoyed to see her children. She told them they were beautiful and she is spending all the time getting to know them."

Her lawyer Christoph Herbst said: "Elisabeth is very happy to be re-discovering the world. She is very keen to go outside and feel the rain on her skin. But it is important for them to adjust slowly.

"For now they just talk to each other. But Elisabeth and her children who lived in the cellar have no concept of time and of the future. Some people who hear the story think Elisabeth is like something from a horror film. But rumours that she has no teeth and cannot talk are not true.
"If you met her you would not realise what she has been through, as she seems just like every normal person.

"She tells her family that all she longs for is a normal life – or as normal a life as they can get. That's her only wish."

Life is also difficult for the three children who were living upstairs because they are now in darkness at the clinic.

Mr Herbst said: "But they are all happy and there is a lot of laughter, which you might not expect. Felix makes everyone laugh. They are teaching him to run because inside the cellar he could not run.

"It is really brilliant how Elisabeth has reacted to the outside world. They are all rather fine. Elisabeth is really an impressive person. She is very strong. She's happy now for the first time."
Prosecutor Gerhard Sedlacek said they were gathering evidence to charge Fritzl with murder – he incinerated a baby who died after being born in the cellar.

******************************************************

The Europeans get quite a few things wrong.

One of those things is their failure to punish criminals.

This monster deserves the death penalty. He does not deserve to live. However, I will concede to his living if we all agree he should be EITHER: A) dropped from a plane into the mountains of Northwest Pakistan with a brand on his forehead 'Rapist and Pedophile' or B) put in prison with prisoners sentenced to life, in a cell with no bars / door.

OR we could find a dungeon - often castles had dungeons and in the dungeon they had a dungeon below the dungeon, usually just a 5x5 hole in pitch black. That would be suitable and every week, Big Bubba takes him out for exercise for an hour or two and then sticks him back in the hole.

Justice.

How??

Without question, these things occur. We need look no further than Texas and the freak show unfolding in the Yearning for Zion compound. It is not so much that the initial act occurred that is so disturbing, rather - that it went on for nearly a quarter of a century.


Portrait of a monster.

How does this happen?






***********************************************************

Austrian 'hid daughter in cellar'

A 73-year-old Austrian is under arrest on suspicion of hiding his daughter in a cellar for 24 years and fathering seven children with her, police say.

The existence of the woman, believed missing since 1984 and now 42, emerged after a teenage child fell ill and had to be taken to hospital.

Both the woman and teenage girl are receiving medical treatment and the other children are in care.

A police investigation in Amstetten, Lower Austria Province, is continuing.

The suspect, named only as Josef F, was arrested on suspicion of incest and keeping his daughter in captivity. He has not responded to the charges against him, police say.

One of the children the man allegedly fathered died in infancy, police believe.

Three children, including the 19-year-old, were allegedly kept in the cellar with their mother while the other three reportedly grew up with their grandparents.

DNA tests will be taken to establish whether Josef F was indeed their father.

The alleged crimes came to light after the teenager, named as Kerstin F, was dropped off at the Amstetten hospital last weekend.

Finding Kerstin seriously ill, doctors appealed for her mother, who at that time was assumed to be missing, to come forward to provide more details about her medical history.

Josef F allegedly then released the mother and two other children from the cellar, telling his wife Rosemarie that she had chosen to return home, police say.

It was not immediately clear how police were alerted.

The mother, named as Elisabeth F, has been receiving medical and psychological treatment since being discovered.

She appeared "greatly disturbed" psychologically during questioning and agreed to talk only after authorities assured her that she would no longer have to have contact with her father, and that her children would be taken care of, police added.

The six children are three boys and three girls aged between five and 20.

Police spokesman Franz Polzer told reporters they had been taken to a safe location.

"They are all in psychological care in a secure institution in a clinic here in this area," he said.

"They are being cared for individually - those between 12 and 16 years of age who grew up with their grandparents, and two boys who, when they came out yesterday with their mother, saw the daylight for the first time in their lives."

The police issued a statement giving details of the alleged abuses Elisabeth recounted to them.
She said she had been sexually abused by her father since the age of 11.

Josef allegedly lured her into the cellar of their house in Amstetten on 28 August 1984, drugging and handcuffing her before locking her up.

It was assumed she had disappeared voluntarily when her parents received a letter from her asking them not to search for her.

"Abused continuously during the 24-year-long imprisonment", Elisabeth bore six children while a seventh, one of a set of twins, died soon after birth.

The dead baby was allegedly taken out of the cellar and burnt by Josef.

Elisabeth said Josef had provided her and three of her children, who were locked up along with her, with clothing and food.

His wife Rosemarie had allegedly not been aware of what was going on.

The discovery of another Austrian woman, who was held captive in a cellar by an abductor for more than eight years, gripped the country in 2006.

---------------------
UPDATE:

A series of underground rooms equipped for sleeping and cooking, and with sanitary facilities, lay behind a concealed door, police said.

Josef Fritzl is said to have told his wife, Rosemarie, and local authorities that three babies had been left by Elisabeth on their doorstep, in different years.

Each delivery was accompanied by a letter purportedly signed by Elisabeth Fritzl saying she could not support the child because she already had others to care for.

The trio went to school as normal, seemingly unaware that their mother and three other siblings (a girl of 19, and boys at 18 and five) were trapped underground.

He is said to have told his wife they suddenly re-appeared.



UPDATE: 4/30/08

Yet more clues point to third-party involvement. The door to the dungeon - which had received building permission as a nuclear fallout shelter - weighed 300kg (660lb) and could only have been hinged into position with the help of someone else. Mr Fritzl, moreover, went on several holidays, including at least one three-week stay in Thailand, leaving Elisabeth and her children in the cellar.




******************************************************

So let's recap.

This monster began molesting his 11 year old daughter in 1977. The molestation / rape continued for seven years until she was 18, at which time she was put in the basement and handcuffed and locked up.

The mother of course had NO IDEA for the SEVEN YEARS what was happening.

Then, the monster gets his drugged and handcuffed daughter to write a letter saying she has run away, takes it upstairs and acts surprised when he finds it in the mailbox.

Then she starts having babies.

A few of these babies are taken upstairs and get to live with the grandparents as grandparents. I suspect at least 1 or 2 are female. Good question as to what they had to go through upstairs.

How do you explain to your wife where they are coming from. 'Oh dear, yes, the stork left these on the doorstep and I just had to bring them in to our loving home" "I really wish the stork would stop with these babies, other people are deserving and we are getting quite old to have new babies." "Let me get a shot at that stork and I will ensure it never brings another baby here. We are overcrowded and do not have the money or food to raise any more children."

And the wife obliges.

And someone tipped off the authorities. Who. Why? How???

Imagine how evil this man is to rape his daughter and then molest his daughters from his daughter. And all during this the wife is .... what is she doing. Never going into the basement for 24 years. Never. Childbirth is loud. Babies crying are loud. Children playing can be loud.

This den of evil is closed. I hope they tear the building down.

And for those sick, deviants wherever you may be - be it Australia, Philippines, Hong Kong, Malaysia, India, Singapore, South Africa - you deserve to spend twenty years with Bubba [Bubba is whatever your worst fear would be in prison] being his playmate. It is not a special love or special thing you are doing that no one else understands (like the freaks in Texas) - universally all 6 billion human beings want to rip out your hearts and shove them down your throat. This Frizl person deserves death and if European justice was 'just' he would get death. Unfortunately it is not 'just' and he will end up in prison for 50 years. Valuing life does not mean keeping these type of beings alive, it means so condemning them that the ultimate sanction is imposed. In the alternative, maybe we just hand you over to bin Laden. Drop you from a plane carrying a twinkie, with the words child molester / pedophile branded on your forehead. That would be justice.

Scientific American - Sept 2007

Great articles on or about food.

Page 88 - The World is FAT. Most people in the developing world are now overweight than hungry.

That farmers produce enough food for every person on earth to eat enough BUT for political conflict, natural disasters, and rural poverty. We cannot fix the disasters that may befall us, but we can take action when political conflicts occur. rather than sitting on our butts and explaining how we cannot bring them democracy and its none of our business and it costs too much, we should instead understand it as a matter of international importance that we do intervene to bring stability to save people from starvation. It is a moral imperative. To not act is immoral.

In Brazil, 37% of adults are overweight or obese.
In Egypt, the number is 59%.
In Mexico, 70% are overweight or obese.
China - 28%.

Yet, 1/8 of the world's people do not have enough to eat - because of natural events (droughts) and political conflicts.

We must understand that failure to act will make us complicit in the deaths of the millions who will starve. It is not our right to sit by and watch because it does not affect us, because they are black, because they are not imminent threats. It is a moral imperative to use what resources we have to change the conditions even if it does mean military force. A million will starve or thousands may die.

Hell has one more resident

It is always a good morning when you wake up and find out earth has one less inhabitant and hell has one more resident.

We may not be sure what our final sentence will be, but for a few people, we can be sure. Such is the case of the Hizballah leader in Damascus, Imad Mughniyeh.

The US wanted him for his role in terrorist attacks that killed hundreds of Americans in the 1980s: the 1983 bombings of the United States Embassy that killed over 60 people, the attack on the US Marine barracks at the Beirut airport killing over 240 military personnel; the hijacking of a T.W.A. jetliner in 1985 and the murder of Jeremy Stethem on board that plane; a series of high-profile kidnappings in the 1980s - the torture and murder of William Buckley; the kidnapping and murder of Lt. Col. William Richard Higgins on peacekeeping duty in Lebanon in 1988; in addition to the seizure of a number of other Western hostages in Beirut.

He was a very bad man. A very, very bad human, and today he is in hell enjoying a much deserved very close and personal relationship with Satan. Couldn't happen to a more evil human.


UPDATE: Hell has a few more residents as of 3/13/08:
The long-wanted Bethlehem chief Mohammed Shehadeh was killed, along with Imad Kemal, Issa Marzoura and Fatah-al Aqsa Brigades operative Ahmed Balful, by an undercover Israeli force in Bethlehem Wednesday. They were sought for years for orchestrating major mass-murder attacks in Israel between 2001and 2004.


I pray these individuals enjoy their personal relationship with Satan and each day brings new wonders for them and to them.
