SAN FRANCISCO RUNS ANTI-SEMITIC OUTDOOR CAMPAIGN -- NO WORD ON AFDI/SIOA PRO-ISRAEL CAMPAIGN
San Francisco BART has been running an antisemitic outdoor campaign at a number of outdoor BART stations for well over a month now. I became aware of them last month when Seattle had agreed to run antisemitic ads on their buses, but had second thoughts when I submitted pro-Israel educational ads.
After Seattle changed its policy on account of my ads, I submitted our outdoor campaign to San Francisco back on December 29th.
Here is the report from the notorious Jew-hating site "The Electronic Intifada," the same Palestinian blogger that outed Barack Hussein Obama as an anti-semite back in March 2007 (and there is more here).
Check out the ad -- a play on the jihad is a religion of peace.
Boycott roundup: day of action against TIAA-Cref

Palestine solidarity activists are organizing a day of action today, 10 December, to encourage "people of conscience" to join the more than 18,000 who have already signed a US-wide petition urging financial holdings corporation TIAA-CREF to disinvest from construction vehicle manufacturer Caterpillar Incorporated.
According to campaign coordinating group Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), TIAA-CREF has invested more than $250 million in Caterpillar, which the group says is "complicit" in Israel's violations of US and international law ("December 10: TIAA-CREF day of action).
Yes, your basic nightmare.
This day of action is just part of JVP's ongoing campaign to target TIAA-CREF. In July, activists attended the shareholder meeting and presented an "overwhelming" amount of signatures they had gathered in support of TIAA-CREF's divestment from companies that profit from Israeli occupation policies.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian-led movement of boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israeli human rights violations and apartheid policies continues to gather steam elsewhere around the world.
Here are my bus ads -- the AFDI Freeedom lovers and historical accuracy ads:

MAKING LEMONS OUT OF LEMONADE
"We still would have lost the election because we had 9.5% unemployment. Let's take it where that came from. The policies of George W. Bush and the Republican support for his initiatives, tax cuts are for the wealth, recklessness by some," Minority Leader Pelosi told CNN.
And so it begins. With a bang. The new Congress hadn't convened before the leftist propaganda machine went into high gear. It's breathtaking. This is what they do, the only thing they do well. Better than anyone.
The Tea Party just took control of the House for the 112th Congress.
The same conservatives left us with wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, tax cuts for the wealthy, the resulting massive debt and a crumbling economy that features more than 9% unemployment. Their appointees to the Supreme Court decided corporate lobbyists should be empowered even more. Today they are running the House. (The Nation)
The Republicans won and they hadn't even taken their oath before the 14-trillion-dollar deficit was foisted upon their mantle of responsibility. The very idea that Pelosi, a chief enemy operative, would be lauding her rout as fiscally responsible and conservative is a contemptuous insult to any rational, normal thinking human being.
The scurrilous ridicule of John Boehner's emotive moments is scandalous. As if working hard all your life and realizing your dream is somehow shameful or detestable. When a moocher or looter weeps crocodile tears, we must all hang our heads in shame. But when it is clearly a heartfelt act by a capitalist -- ready, aim, snipe.
Pelosi is outrageous. And more so because the mainstream media is selling this dung like a grifter sells the Brooklyn Bridge to new arrivals to America. And it will only get worse. Anthony the Weiner is the designated snake to spew the lies. His only skill set is to attack, deceive and ridicule the righteous. The hatred of the good for being the good. Weiner, BTW, is recently married to longtime Hillary Clinton shadowand "secret weapon" and "mystery woman," Huma Abedeen, daughter of an " Islamic scholar" in Saudi Arabia. Her mother is a professor in Saudi Arabia. The Weiner has big plans. But that for another day.
Everything is packaged in leftist propagandist semantics. The Obama tax hike that was routed by the new Republican House majority is relentlessly referred to as the "Bush tax cuts for the wealthy." I challenge any Atlas readers to find reference to the proposed Obama tax hikein the NY Times where it is not called the "Bush tax cuts for the wealthy." Anyone who is not union and/or not on the take in America is "wealthy." The top one percent of earners in America pay more taxes than over 90% of Americans. The top 1% pay in as much as the bottom 95%. And nearly half of Americans don't even pay federal tax, but why quibble? Facts are irrelevant in the land of the left.
Top 1% Pay More Income Tax Than Bottom 90%
The Tax Foundation has published Summary of Latest Federal Individual Income Tax Data:
New data released by the IRS today offers interesting insights into the distributional spread of the federal income tax burden, new analysis by the Tax Foundation shows. The new data shows that the top-earning 25% of taxpayers (AGI over $62,068) earned 67.5% of the nation's income, but they paid more than four out of every five dollars collected by the federal income tax (86%). The top 1% of taxpayers (AGI over $364,657) earned approximately 21.2% of the nation's income (as defined by AGI), yet paid 39.4% of all federal income taxes. That means the top 1% of tax returns paid about the same amount of federal individual income taxes as the bottom 95% of tax returns.
And since when did hard work and success become the object of scorn? When did it become American thinking to demonize the successful and exalt the failure? Upside the leftism.
I hope the American people to hold true to their ideas and principles. There are very good indications that this is more than possibility, but reality.
Here are two of the most telling developments: Internet gains on television as the main news source for folks and a precipitous drop in cable news viewing in a key election year. Why would the cable news networks' overall audience (CNN, FOX, MSNBC et al) drop when it should, in fact, be growing? Add to the FOX loss of 163,000 daily viewers Beck's unprecedented numbers in the 5:00 pm slot, and it's worse than it appears. None of the cable networks that showed readership gains were cable news channels (save a small increase in BBCA). CNN lost 311,000 daily viewers, HLN 115,000, MSNBC 40,000.
Why? Because they won't cover the news. Their daily smorgasbord of news is laughable. They are terrified of the greatest single threat facing the West. When the leftwing cables cover it, they apologize and blame the victims. And FOX is not much better. People are sick of it.
The internet is slowly closing in on television as Americans’ main source of national and international news. Currently, 41% say they get most of their news about national and international news from the internet, which is little changed over the past two years but up 17 points since 2007. Television remains the most widely used source for national and international news – 66% of Americans say it is their main source of news – but that is down from 74% three years ago and 82% as recently as 2002.
Against the cable news trends:
MSNBC's Olbermann & Maddow Down in 2010, But Not as Down as CNN's Anderson Cooper
And this cable news is down year over year in an election year:
201o was definitely a year to forget for CNN as it suffered the worst average viewership losses of any cable network, both in primetime (8-11pm) and total day (24 hr.) time periods compared with 2009.If you’re looking for the list of cable network viewership gainers, look here.

This is our opportunity. Seize it. Become a mini media outlet. Send out news from sources you trust (like Atlas) to your lists. Build the new media franchise of a million man network. We say the Ground Zero mosque become the number one national news story and number international news story without the mainstream media. That was you.
Seize the day. The left is going to merciless the next two years. The battering will not stop, not even for a moment. This is all-out war. FIGHT.
PAMELA GELLER, AMERICAN THINKER: MAYOR BLOOMBERG: AN ABJECT FAILURE
And it's snowing the city today and it's sticking ..... oyish. Another opportunity to show New Yorkers what an inept, self-aggrandizing asshat Doomberg is.
BE THERE! PROTEST THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE JANUARY 12TH
49-51 CHAMBERS STREET 12:45PM
Mayor Bloomberg: An Abject Failure Pamela Geller, American Thinker
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg continues to confound and betray the very constituency that elected this increasingly dangerous apologist and tool of the global jihad.You can take the measure of a mayor by how he handles difficulty...like, say, snow. In New York City, it's how we judge our mayor. Clean the streets, keep us moving. And based on that simple test, Michael Bloomberg is an abject failure. Union thugs held the city hostage and killed people(including a newborn) during the snowstorm, and the sidewalks are still teeming with mountains of garbage. And our taxes are obscene.While our Ground Zero mosque-obsessed mayor has been toiling to facilitate, expedite, and erect a victory mosque on the hallowed ground of Ground Zero, the city falls into chaos, disrepair, and bankruptcy.The New York snowstorm exhibited what a bloody failure this quisling is, bullied by organized labor and unions that did nothing the first 24 hours. What a difference a schmuck makes.This would never have happened under Bloomberg's predecessor, Rudolph Giuliani. Mayor Mosqueteer Gloomberg is weak and garners no respect, and we the people have to pay for his ineptitude.Even the lapdog New York Times admitted it, reporting that "Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg acknowledged on Tuesday that the cleanup had been slower than expected and the impact worse than had been apparent when the snow stopped falling." And even "Christine C. Quinn, the City Council speaker who has often sided with the mayor, said the city's response to the blizzard was the worst in memory."Bloomberg is incapable of handling the most fundamental of tasks; he is like some madman on a mission to build Mecca on the Hudson. The Ayatollah of Bloomistan is working feverishly to erect the Ground Zero mosquestrosity. Bloomberg worked behind the scenes to get the Ground Zero mosque approved. Is he obsessed with submission?Speaker Quinn strongly supports the Ground Zero mosque and added her considerable weight to the 150-million-dollar mosquestrosity when the existing building on the site was being considered for landmark status (which would have put a kink into the imperialist ambitions of the radical Ground Zero imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and his wife Daisy Khan). Since the City Council had the last say in the landmarking process, Quinn's comments carried added weight, and landmark status was denied, paving the way for Mecca on the Hudson.But Walmart scares Quinn. She is holding hearings next week to keep Walmart out of New York City. Quinn's New York City Council had declared December 14 "Hate Walmart Day." These are the village idiots running this city. Mighty mosqueteer Christine Quinn said that it would be a bad thing to be "standing by and letting Walmart come without any oversight, without any scrutiny." So Walmart, America's biggest private employer, needs scrutiny, but a Ground Zero mega-mosque with radical ties and shady funding is not a problem.Meanwhile, to show his "moderation," the Ground Zero mega-mosque Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is kicking off his U.S. mosquestrosity tour at the banquet of the Islamic Society of North America, which was named an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case.Bombs in aisle seven.Christine Quinn and Bloomberg's toolbox, aka. the New York City Council, are refusing to allow the jobs and lower prices that Walmart would bring into Manhattan.Whom do these officials represent? These are our elected officials. The left is systematically destroying this country. National security has become a joke.It is ironic that Bloomberg was elected because of the catastrophe of the war declared against the United States on 9/11. He is a Democrat who stole the mayoral election by switching parties so that he could get into the race and get elected. Giuliani, the great hero of 9/11, could not run again because of term limits. It was Giuliani (who is opposed to the mosque) who anointed Bloomberg as his successor. Yes, the field of candidates was that pathetic. And Bloomberg won, because of Giuliani and the jihadi attack on NY on September 11.

WRITE A LETTER FOR NOOR
UPDATE: More contact info on the Akmaleki honor killer prosecution. The case will be handled through the county (Maricopa), not the state and the attorney prosecuting is:
Laura Reckart
301 W. Jefferson, 8th Floor
Phoenix, AZ 85003
So cc the prosecutor, Laura Reckart, in your letter to Judge Roland (thanks to CanaryInTheCoalMine)
=======================================================
No plea deals for honor killers. We need to move to enact legislation to make "honor killing" a capital crime. Until then, the least we can do for the victims is to demand no plea deals.
No sanction for gender apartheid and femicide. We must stand against the continuing diminished status of women rampant in Muslim societies.
You helped plant a grove in remembrance of Aqsa Parvez, the teen in Canada murdered by her father and brother. She was buried without a headstone until we raised the money and made it happen.
Noor Almaleki did not die in vain. And the West will not fail this young Muslim girl. Read the whole thing here.
Is the prosecution afraid they may insult Islam if they bring this honor killing case to trial? Faleh Hassan Almaleki should have been given the death penalty, but he cried "racism" when it was being considered. His lawyer said at the time:
"An open process provides some level of assurance that there is no appearance that a Christian is seeking to execute a Muslim for racial, political, religious or cultural beliefs," Little wrote, referring to County Attorney Andrew Thomas' Christian faith.
A Muslim father runs over and kills his daughter with his car because she wasn't Muslim enough, but justice cannot be served because that would be "Christian" "islamophobia." We can't seek the death penalty "for racial, political, religious or cultural beliefs," but he can kill his daughter for his religious and political (sharia) beliefs.
No plea.
Atlas reader Spirit of 1776 called judge Roland Steinle's office. They prefer that we write them a letter stating our concerns. All parties will be notified of our letters. Both judge and the prosecutor said they are getting calls. Good. Now write a letter. And if you can, print thisgruesome gallery and send it.
Case # CR 2009-007938-001 Defendant: Faleh H. Almaleki
Judge Roland Steinle 602-506-7893
State Prosecutor/Court Atty. 602-506-3411
Judge Roland Steinle
201 W. Jefferson CCB
Suite 4C
Phoenix, Az 85003
Here is mine:
Judge Roland Steinle
Maricopa County Superior Court,
201 W Jefferson St # 4
Phoenix, AZ 85003
Dear Judge Steinle,
I am writing to urge you not to allow a plea deal for Faleh Hassan Almaleki.
In November 2009, the Arizona Republic reported that, according to state prosecutor Stephanie Low, Faleh Almaleki admitted that he ran over his daughter Noor Almaleki on purpose: "By his own admission, this was an intentional act and the reason was that his daughter had brought shame on him and his family. This was an attempt at an honor killing." Noor subsequently died from her injuries.
If he admitted to intentional murder, it would be an unconscionable miscarriage of justice not to sentence him to the full required legal penalty for his act, and instead to allow him to cut a deal for a lesser punishment. In light of public defender Billy Little's appalling statement that the sentence in this case should give "no appearance that a Christian is seeking to execute a Muslim for racial, political, religious or cultural beliefs," a plea bargain for Faleh Almaleki will give the opposite appearance: that an American court is tolerating brutal and premeditated murder out of political, religious and cultural considerations. It will show other Muslim girls who are threatened by honor killing that American courts will offer them no refuge.
Noor Almaleki is not the only Muslim woman in the United States who has been murdered in an honor killing. To allow Faleh Almaleki to plea bargain will send the signal that the Muslim community in the U.S. need undertake no reform, but rather can continue with these heinous religious and cultural practices with impunity.
I urge you to stand instead for the American principle of justice for all, and to sentence Faleh Almaleki to the most severe possible legal penalty for his crime.
Sincerely,
Pamela GellerFreedom lover, Human Rights Activist
UPDATE: The Judge is Roland, not Ronald.
MUSLIM ASSASSIN OF GOVERNOR CRITICAL OF BLASPHEMY LAWS SHOWERED WITH ROSE PETALS
The pious assassin of the pakistan governor who was shot dead in cold blood because he criticized Islamic blasphemy laws (the sharia) was showered with rose petals.
[Jihad murder victim, Governor] Taseer had recently spoken out in defense of a Christian woman sentenced to death for blasphemy and calling for the law to be struck down, drawing ire from Islamist parties. Recently on Twitter, Mr. Taseer had been calling for people to demonstrate on the street against the blasphemy laws, which date to the dictatorship of former military Gen. Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq in the 1980s.
Consistent with Islam's 1,400 year history, the moderate, reasoned voices are eliminated. Always. And still. The reformers are the true "radicals." Moderates have no theological leg to stand on in Islam. Period.
Obama say, Respect it!
The following email and post shows how openly this Canadian Muslim group is hailing the assassin of the Pakistani Governor as a "Ghazi" (Holy Warrior of Islam). (hat tip Ravi)
Ghazi Mumtaz Qadri, Killer of Taseer Showered with Rose Petals, Lauded Before Court The Muslim.ca
Ghazi Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri, centre, the accused killer of Punjab province Gov. Salman Taseer, arrives at court in Islamabad on Wednesday.
LAWYERS showered the suspected killer of a prominent Pakistani governor with rose petals when he arrived Wednesday for his first court appearance.
Ghazi Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri, 26, was remanded in custody in Islamabad court a day after he allegedly sprayed automatic gunfire at Salman Taseer while he was on duty as a bodyguard for the Punjab province governor.
The lawyers who tossed handfuls of rose petals over him were not involved in the case. Several government officials and Police personnel also joined and greeted Mumtaz Qadri.
Majority of Ulema (Islamic scholars) and Islamic groups praised the assassination of the outspoken opponent of laws that order death for those who insult Islam. A rowdy crowd slapped the accused on the back and kissed his cheek as he was escorted inside.
As Qadri left the court, a crowd of about 200 sympathizers chanted "death is acceptable for Muhammad's slave." The suspect stood at the back door of an armoured police van with a flower necklace given to him by an admirer and repeatedly yelled "God is great."
More than 500 Ulema and scholars from the group Jamat Ahle Sunnat said no one should pray or express regret for the killing of the governor. The group representing Pakistan's majority Barelvi sect, which follows a brand of Islam considered moderate, also issued a veiled threat to other opponents of the blasphemy laws.
"The supporter is as equally guilty as one who committed blasphemy," the group warned in a statement, adding politicians, the media and others should learn "a lesson from the exemplary death."
