Obama's Former Friend, Farrakhan, Blames Jews and Christians for Fort Hood Massacre by Muslim
President Obama's former friend, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, was interviewed by Al Jazeera about the Fort Hood massacre. The transcript is set forth below. Interviewer: "Let us begin with the most recent development on the American front, and the racial discrimination against Muslims and their persecution - the incident associated with Mr. Nidal Hasan, a Muslim psychiatrist of Arab origin, who killed 13 soldiers at the U.S. Fort Hood base. To what extent might this incident affect the Muslims in the U.S. and make them targets of persecution?"
Louis Farrakhan: "As you know, since 9/11, in America and in other parts of the world, those anti-Islamic forces have stepped up their efforts to make Muslims... to cause the Muslims to be looked at as uncivilized, savage, or wicked people. This is an attempt by anti-Islamic forces, and some members of the Jewish community, and some members of the Christian community, who have united to condemn Islam and to speak ill of our Prophet Muhammad, and to even go so far as to say that the Muslims worship the devil.
"It is because, my dear brothers and sisters, Islam was making so much progress in the United States that those anti-Islamic forces are trying to stem the tide of the progress of Islam.
"This recent unfortunate event, which took place at the Fort Hood base in Texas, has only added fuel to the fire. On behalf of all the Muslims in the Muslim world, we are saddened by the loss of these 13 American soldiers and the 30 others who were wounded in the incident. No human being would be pleased to see that kind of slaughter, coming from a fellow officer in the U.S. Army.
"However, we have to look at Major Nidal Hasan. What happened to him? What kind of stress was he under? What kind of insults had he borne?
"When there are Muslims who love America, and who join the armed forces to protect America, and to serve the interests of America, and then America, unfortunately, under the falsehoods of the George W. Bush administration, launches attacks against Iraq and against Afghanistan, and now, those soldiers are killing Muslims... So when they go to war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the kind of hatred that is built up in the American forces, when they call the Muslims 'ragheads' and 'desert niggers,' and then, in the Abu Ghreib prison, Muslim women were raped, and Muslim men were sodomized... All this affects Muslims serving in the army. So when you are being insulted by your superior officers or by your fellow soldiers, at some point, a person might break. Unfortunately, I believe this is what happened to Captain [sic] Nidal Hasan."Abandoned by Appeaser-in-Chief Obama, Families of US Hostages in Iran Plead for Relatives' Release

Gold Continues Climbing
Gold continued advancing to record highs, as reported here, on a weak dollar and fears of inflation.
$1,400 an ounce is the next milestone; after that, China Confidential gold analysts predict, the precious metal will soar to $2,000 or $2,200 before the end of next year, though profit taking and corrections should be expected along the way.
The U.S. economy is a hollowed-out shell; the stimulus, a fraud. Gold's climb reflects that reality.
UPDATE: Commodities guru Jim Rogers agrees with China Confidential that gold will hit $2,000 an ounce, should, in fact, already be that high or higher; but Rogers is relatively conservative, forecasting a $2,000 gold price "within a decade."

His point is well taken--most gold stocks don't pan out for investors--but the few that do are major money makers.Security Nightmare Coming to Manhattan
The New York Post has the story, a solid exclusive,here.
One criticism: the Post reporters refer to "Al Qaeda animals." That is an insult to animals, innocent creatures, in sharp contrast with the Islamist monsters and mutants that murder and maim and plot and plan civilization's doom. Every animal is far more worthy of respect and far more deserving of humane treatment than any Al Qaeda creature.Obama Holds Shanghai Town Hall Meeting, Fails to Reach Big Audience, Reveals He Never Used Twitter
