Gold Mining Firm Announces Canada Public Offering


Allied Nevada Gold Corp (TSX, NYSE Amex: ANV) announced today that it has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters co-led by GMP Securities LP and Genuity Capital Markets for a public offering of 11.15 million common shares priced at C$9.00 each to raise C$100.35 million before expenses.

The group plans to use the new funds for exploration and general corporate purposes.

Allied Nevada is a gold mining company that operates the Hycroft mine, located in the United States near Winnemucca, Nevada, and also has a number of prospective exploration claims in the state. The Hycroft mine is expected to produce approximately 80,000 - 87,000 ounces of gold in 2009 at a cost of sales per gold ounce of US$460 - US$480.

 

Islamo-Nazi Al Qaeda Declares Gaza 'Emirate'


To the right of Hitlerian Hamas, there is the even more Hitlerian (if such a thing can be believed) Al Qaeda; and its Islamo-Nazi supporters are increasingly challenging Hamas in Gaza. Click here for the story.

Right-wing political Islam, or Islamism, once regarded as a nuisance, has been ascendent since the Carter administration-assisted overthrow of the Shah of Iran in 1979. The 9/11 mega-attacks by Al Qaeda--operating from safe haven in Afghanistan--failed to trigger a truly devastating military response by the United States. As a result, Islamists are bolder than ever; and Islamist Iran, with which the pro-appeasement Obama administration wants to align, is close to acquiring atomic arms while building up its proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah, ahead of an all-out war of annihilation against America's ally, Israel--the only democracy in the Middle East.

In other words, the situation stinks.

 

India Seeks Ban on Climate Change Trade Barriers


India wants a ban on trade barriers based on a country's climate change (carbon emitting) policies. Click here for the report.

Like China, India is skeptical about manmade global warming--recast as climate change in the face of data that shows the earth is actually cooling. But both countries pay lip service to the theory, pretending to agree that carbon dioxide is a form of pollution, in order to avoid a confrontation with the United States and Europe over the issue.

 

Hezbollah Cells Ready to Strike From Venezuela


Ronen Bergman reports:

Hezbollah’s cells in Venezuela are part of the organization’s apparatus dedicated to attacks overseas. It is also known as the “Special Operations Command.”

For years, this apparatus operated overseas under Imad Mugniyah’s command and was responsible, among other things, for the bombing of Israel’s embassy in Buenos Aires in March 1992 in the wake of group leader Abbas Musawi’s assassination. It was also responsible for the bombing of the Jewish community center in the city in July 1994.

Today, the apparatus is headed by the man who served as Mugniyah’s deputy, Talal Hamiyeh.

Jordan Plagued by Muslim 'Honor' Killings


Click here and here for the sickening stories.

One day, the news from Jordan is about a man kills his raped niece to "cleanse family honor." 

Just two days later, we read about a man who kills his pregnant sister because she married without her family's permission. 

Where is the outrage?

Envisioning Eurabia



Daniel Greenfield writes about the Muslim conquest of Europe:

The Telegraph recently made headlines with a survey that suggested that a fifth of the European Union will be Muslim by 2050. This is if anything an understatement of the situation, since once you subtract Eastern European states and focus in on Western European countries such as England, France and Italy… or Sweden, Islam will comprise a sizable enough minority to be considered a state within a state. And even the most pessimistic statistics will grow gloomier if 75 million Turks inside the presently Islamist Turkey will become part of the European Union.

Meanwhile always eager to get ahead, Russia estimates that Islam will become its predominant religion by 2050. The Russians, both under the USSR and in the Putin era, have done everything they can to try and raise the birth rate, but remains at half that of Uzbekistan, or even war torn Chechnya. With the Russian population set to fall by almost 50 million, to 100 million in 2050, the Muslim birth rate will have made up the surplus. Having tried all the usual financial family incentives and even made an effort at luring back its former Jewish emigrants, Russia is now counting on its state run network of mosques, which can only preach Jihad at America, England and any non-Russian infidels, to maintain control. It is an absurd strategy, but no more so than Europe’s own.

On Obamanation, Newspeak and Doublethink


Victor David Hanson's essay on Obama and 1984 is must reading. 

In George Orwell's allegorical novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four," the picture of "Big Brother" appears constantly in the adoring media.

Perceived enemies are everywhere — supposedly plotting to undo the benevolent egalitarianism of Big Brother. Citizens assemble each morning to scream hatred for two minutes at pictures of the supposed public traitor Emmanuel Goldstein. The "Ministry of Truth" swears that the former official Goldstein is responsible for everything that goes wrong in Oceania.

In Orwell's Oceania, there is a compliant media that offers "Newspeak" — recycled government bulletins from the Ministry of Truth. "Doublethink" means you can believe at the same time in two opposite beliefs.

America is not Oceania, but some of this is beginning to sound a little too familiar.

We see Barack Obama's smile broadcast 24/7, in a fashion we have not seen previously of earlier presidents. A Newsweek editor referred to Obama as a "god." MSNBC's Chris Matthews claimed physical ecstasy when Obama speaks. A Washington Post reporter swooned over Obama's "chiseled pectorals."

Terrorists have had lots to celebrate recently as court rulings from Bangkok to Madrid wiped out years of work to stop them and raised doubts about treating the war on terror as a law-enforcement action.

A Victory for World Trade, US Media

The Wall Street Journal comments on a victory for world trade:

Wednesday's World Trade Organization decision against Chinese media protectionism is good news for U.S. exporters, but even better news for Chinese consumers and industry. The case, involving U.S. entertainment and media exports, illustrates the benefits of a rules-based global trading system, particularly at a time of rising protectionism.

A WTO dispute resolution panel ruled against several of China's key regulations on the distribution of media such as films, music and DVDs, long the bane of Hollywood. Among the most onerous is the requirement that many products pass through state-controlled middlemen. This cuts into the companies' ability to profit from their work since the monopolist middlemen can command outsize fees. It also contributes to copyright infringement because pirates happily fill the void when legitimate content can't be widely distributed.

Somali Savages Rip Gold Teeth From Locals' Mouths

The pirate-backing, Islamist savages who beheaded the Christian orphanage workers are ripping gold and silver teeth from locals' mouths on the grounds that the teeth are an offense of some sort to (barbaric) Islamic law.

These are the same savages who recently stoned to death a 13-year-old rape victim--because she had sex. 

The same savages who last October stoned to death a 23-year-old woman for adultery.

Where is the outrage?

Where are the so-called moderate Muslim leaders?

Why is America's first Muslim-born President (he was born a Muslim according to Islamic religious law, which traces religion through the father) silent about the atrocities committed by Muslim extremists on a daily basis?

 

Israel: We Can Delay Iran Nukes










A senior Israeli official says Israel can delay Iran's nuclear program--set back its development of weapons. Click here for the story.

The important question is: at what cost? Iran has vowed to retaliate against the United States and Israel for any attack on Iran's nuclear sites. 

More specifically, Tehran's turbaned tyranny has threatened to "burn Tel Aviv" and blow up Israel's own nuclear facilities. Given its formidable arsenal of ballistic missiles, presumed stockpiles of chemical and, possibly, biological weapons (obtained from Cuba), and the 40,000 Hezbollah rockets aimed at Israel that are controlled by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, it would seem that an assault on Iranian nuclear installations would have to include wiping out missile sites and ending the IRGC/Hezbollah threat.

In fact, a case could be made for first striking the missile sites, the IRGC and Hezbollah, just as Israel had to first destroy the Egyptian air force--on the ground--on June 5, 1967, in order to win its stunning victory over the combined Arab armies in only six days.
