Baglow v Free Dominion has become an Internet test case!
August 14, 2014 — xanthippaLiving under terror is no life for children
August 13, 2014 — xanthippaA large number of the civilian casualties in Gaza did not die as a result of the Israeli response to the unprovoked acts of war by Hamas (both rocket fire and territorial invasion via underground tunnels): they have died of the Hamas rockets themselves.
Do not be fooled into thinking these rockets to be ‘mere firecrackers’: without the Israeli defensive Iron Dome and the many bomb-shelters in Israel, the Israeli civilian casualties would be much, much higher.
This is no mere conjecture but a statement of fact.
How do I know this?
From the extensive deaths caused by these rockets when they accidentally land inside Gaza itself!
Certainly, non-Israeli reports of this are scarce because even though they don’t admit this, the reporters in Gaza are reporting under duress and thus act (willingly or not) as accomplices of Hamas: repeating in their reports only the numbers and things that Hamas wants reported, showing only the images that Hamas wants shown. Hardly ‘journalism’…
And if that is not enough, here is an excerpt from Wikipedia (hardly a Zionist source):
“The weapons, often generically referred to as Qassams, were initially crude and short-range, mainly affecting Sderot and other communities bordering the Gaza Strip. However, in 2006 more sophisticated rockets began to be deployed, reaching the larger coastal city of Ashkelon, and by early 2009 major cities Ashdod andBeersheba had been hit by Katyusha, WS-1B[8] and Grad rockets.[9] In 2012, Jerusalem and Israel’s commercial center Tel Aviv were targeted with locally made “M-75” and Iranian Fajr-5 rockets, respectively,[10] and in July 2014, the northern city of Haifa was targeted for the first time.[11] A few projectiles have contained white phosphorus.[12][13][14][15][16][17][18]“
Hardly ‘firecrackers’!
Estimates of PTSD among Israeli children living under constant threat of being targetted by these Qassam rockets is estimated at over 50% – yet these long-lasting scars are not included in the injuries incurred by Israeli civilians…
Of course, I pity the Gazan children no less – they suffer greatly and in more ways than the Israeli children…and will continue to suffer as long as Hamas is in power in Gaza and perhaps longer: until religious hatred of ‘the other’ stops destroying their young lives before they have a chance to get started!!!
A week ago today, there was a pro-Israel rally in Ottawa. I would really have liked to have attended, but, alas, I was out of town and out of internet reach, and thus did not get a word of it until after it happened. During this rally, an Israeli mother describes the effect living under constant fear of rocket attacks has had on her young family:

The world will not be a better place until we learn to set all dogmatic beliefs and irrational faiths aside and begin to live like moral human beings!

I wonder what grade he’ll get
December 19, 2012 — xanthippaThis fill student’s project got itself reported as ‘news’ all over the world.
Two thoughts:
1. – Well done – I wonder what grade he’ll get
2. – And this level of reporting integrity is why most people no longer trust anything we get from the MainsStream Media…which is why there are so many conspiracy theories…
Could there be more behind the MSM’s refusal to investigate the Obama administration?
October 28, 2012 — xanthippaSure, many of the talking heads and most visible journalists are blatant Obama sycophants. But, why is the refusal to investigate Obama and his administration so pervasive?
Are there really no young and eager investigative journalists who want to make a name for themselves – and to hell with ideology?
While the brainwashing most liberal arts (journalism included) students are subjected to in Colleges and Universities may account for much of it, there may be more to it than just liberalism’s willful blindness:
‘I was on the brunt end of the Obama-generated censorship while employed at CNN as an investigative correspondent.
On at least a weekly basis, and to my constant frustration, my superiors and CNN’s lawyers were quick to remind me that we need to be extra careful because “President Obama has gone after more journalists and whistleblowers than any president in history”. The leash around my neck began to tighten.
Whether I was allowed to embark on future stories or even interview sensitive sources for potential investigations, eventually became an ‘Obama subpoena risk assessment’ and potential court cost calculation, rather than a pure evaluation of the report’s contribution to public good or our journalistic duty to cover the story.
Some of my most crucial investigations were killed before they started because they were too high a risk of an Obama subpoena.
One boss told me quote “we know how the FBI feels about your source, if we have information the FBI will want we become a target”.’
I don’t know just how reliable this blogger is, but her read-worthy post includes many links to reputable sites with material confirming her observations.
Worth thinking about…
Recording and photographing on-duty cops is a Constitutional right in the US
May 19, 2012 — xanthippaYes!!!
“Because recording police officers in the public discharge of their duties is protected by the First Amendment, policies should prohibit interference with recording of police activities except in narrowly circumscribed situations,” reads the DoJ’s letter (pdf). “More particularly, policies should instruct officers that, except under limited circumstances, officers must not search or seize a camera or recording device without a warrant. In addition, policies should prohibit more subtle actions that may nonetheless infringe upon individuals’ First Amendment rights. Officers should be advised not to threaten, intimidate, or otherwise discourage an individual from recording police officer enforcement activities or intentionally block or obstruct cameras or recording devices.”
‘Journalists’ vs ‘Bloggers’
August 28, 2011 — xanthippaInteresting….
The Quebec Minister for Culture is not the only one who seems to think that ‘bloggers’ ought not be granted the same treatment as ‘journalists’. This presumption that ‘journalists’ are ‘professionals’ while ‘bloggers’ are ‘unwashed scum’, that ‘journalists’ ought to be granted privileges while ‘bloggers’ ought not has found fertile ground among our ‘elites’.
I came up against this personally, just last month.
At the Ontario Court of Justice – of all places!
Which is rather ironic, because it was the Ontario Courts who (among other courts) ruled that everything bloggers post on the internet is indeed ‘an act of publishing’ and therefore subject to all the laws, rules and standards that apply to any print publication.
Actually, if one thinks about it, this ruling places ‘bloggers’ on par with ‘publishers’ – one rung above mere ‘journalists’, who are, after all, just employees of ‘publishers’…but let’s not be elitist here! ;0)
{Let’s also not pretend that ‘blogging’ is actually ‘anonymous’: the vast majority of bloggers do not take elaborate precautions to hide their identity – and their ISPs will reveal their names the moment it is clear the blogger broke the law. It’s right in the ISP’s contract… So, blogging ‘anonymously’ is simply a means of filtering out the frivolous bullying of bloggers too small or not connected enough so that they are pretty much defenseless. If anyone has a legitimate case and goes through the legwork, the real-life identity of the blogger is accessible to them. Plus, most bloggers are better known by (and their reputation is thus built on) their online persona – our ‘nom-de-plume’ – than by our mundane name.}
So, what is it that I am actually talking about?
Last month, just one week after they came to Ottawa for the Baglow case, Connie and Mark Fournier were back in Ottawa in court: this time, they were applying for leave to appeal the ‘Blishen’ ruling in the Warman case. Their case was last on the docket and we had waited around all day only to be told that they would not get to us. (The case itself ended up being heard last week, and the result was not a good one for the Fourniers.)
While waiting in the courtroom for the Fourniers’ turn to come, I kept writing in my notebook. It is a bit of a habit – it keeps me focused. And while I didn’t actually take notes on the cases that were going on, I did note the demeanour of Warman’s team of lawyers (headed by the charismatic Mr. Katz) and doodled to pass time. The judge took pity on those of us waiting and told us that they’ll not get to the Warman case until way after lunch, so we all filed out of the courtroom, intent on finding sustenance. As in, food.
The bailiff followed us out, caught up with me and informed me that I was not permitted to take notes in the courtroom. We all stopped, surprised at this: I had taken copious notes at previous hearings – in several different cases, without ever any complaints against me. And, I saw journalists take notes at some hearings, too…
We (the Fourniers, Fred Litvin of the Free Thinking Film Society and of GayandRight, a few other supporters of the Fourniers and I) peppered the bailiff with questions. Many questions…
He was very polite and exceedingly civil – and I do not doubt that he is a nice man and a truly good human being. He was simply informing us of the rules, as he – as an officer of the court – understood them. The upshot of what he said was:
- the plaintiff/defendant, their lawyer and their lawyer’s aides may take notes in court, as they are ‘participants’
- no spectators who are simple ‘members of the public’ may take notes in the courtroom, because they might not understand things properly or such and get a false impression of what was happening (I could not help but wonder why a person would need to be taking notes to get a false impression of what is going on – why not ban us unwashed masses from the courts altogether if we are too stupid to follow the proceedings?)
- ‘journalists’ may also take notes, because they are ‘professionals’ – they are trained and presumably licensed (or will be, in Quebec), so it is OK…
- ‘bloggers’ don’t count as ‘journalists’ – they are simple ‘members of the public’
When I pointed out that the courts themselves decided to hold us, bloggers, to the same standards as journalists were – so why should we have fewer rights to go with the same obligations – he shrugged, smiled, suggested that I should ‘get a life’ and said that if we really wanted to know more about the rules, we should check with ‘Court Services’….
So, after lunch, armed with a notebook and a pen and a healthy dose of righteous indignation, Fred Litvin (who graciously agreed to come with me for help and support) and I set out to seek the truth behind this double standard.
In the end, we were told that there really was no such rule, that members of the public – even lowly bloggers – were free to take all the notes we wanted to at any hearing in which a judge did not specifically forbid it … and – the bailiff had gone out of his way to find this out independently and then looked up not just me and Fred to apologize for having unintentionally misled us, but also each of the other people who had overheard him give out erroneous information. I give him full credit for trying to rectify his mistake.
But – that is not my main point. Well, not one of my two main points (I seldom have just one).
The fact remains that, based on instructions from a number of different judges, on a number of different occasions, the bailiff had been directed to deny anyone but ‘the participants’ in the cases and ‘certified journalists’ the right to take notes in their courtroom. So many judges had done this, in fact, that he was convinced this was the law!
WHO ARE THESE JUDGES?!?!?
And, once they had demonstrated this level of elitism (and contempt for us, regular citizens), why do WE – the citizens they would prefer to gag – permit them to remain judges over us?!?!?
Seriously – if these judges think the general public is too stupid to follow what they are saying to us, how can they pass impartial judgment on us? They have already formed a highly negative view of us – before we even entered their courtroom!
These are the people we are to entrust ourselves to?
REALLY?
…and the other point…
It took us a bit to find the proper wicket/window at the courthouse for ‘Court Services’ – the few inquiries we made sent us off in the wrong directions. Our bad. But…
Wherever we went – and wherever we identified ourselves as ‘bloogers looking for an answer’ – we elicited a very unusual response.
Well – unusual in the sense that I have not experienced this type of response from bureaucrats in the past.
Fast.
Courteous beyond belief.
And, before we could begin to explain the particulars of our question, their supervisor or their manager, or their supervisor’s manager (or was that their manager’s supervisor?) was called in to deal with us. Immediately!
And the boss – and bosses’ boss – came right away!!!
And they all looked – highly anxious…
….sort of like I imagine that government officials looked when facing ‘investigative reporters’ at the time of ‘Watergate’…
Perhaps bloggers have filled the void left behind when most newsmen and newswomen abandoned ‘investigative reporting’ in favour of quoting press releases; when they joined the cultural elites as ‘journalists’ whose job is not to ‘report facts’ but to ‘present stories’ in a way that helps the social engineering elites control the unwashed masses….you know – us.
No wonder the Quebec Minister of Culture – and every other social engineering elitist [insert insults of your choice here] is attempting to diminish the role of ‘bloggers’!
UPDATE: BCF has more details on the Quebec Culture Minister’s plans.
CUPE union member attacks the prominenet Canadian blogger BlazingCatFur!
May 30, 2010 — xanthippaCUPE – Canadian Union of Public Employees, according to its website, represents 600,000 civil servants and is Canada’s largest labour union.
The important bit here is that it represents civil servants. Only civil servants. These are the people who put public policy into action.
As in, these are the ‘Agents of the state’!
This, of course, does not mean they are not ‘their own person’ in their ‘free time’. Of course they are, free to express their views and all that.
Still, since their role as Agents of the State is known, their actions necessarily reflect on the state, too. This places ‘greater-than-average’ responsibility on them to uphold the laws of the State and not breech them in their public conduct.
I guess what I am trying to say is that breaking laws is always bad. But, if it is broken by someone who is not just ‘an average citizen’, but by someone who is either charged with enforcing the laws (like, say, a police officer), or enacting the laws (like, say, a public servant), it reflects badly not just on the individual, but on the State as a whole.
So, when a well-know CUPE member Ali Mallah assaulted BlazingCatFur, a blogger who was acting in the role of a journalist and filming/photographing a public protest in which Mr. Mallah was taking part, it reflects badly not only on Mr. Mallah personally, but also on CUPE and on all the civil servants of Canada!
What was the provocation?
Mr. Mallah did not like that BlazingCatFur was taking images of a public protest, in a public area.
In other words, this CUPE member, this civil servant, this Agent of the Canadian State, wanted to muzzle a journalist – and when he failed, he assaulted him!
This is a very serious thing. It is not just ‘one guy getting annoyed’ and, in the heat of the moment, loosing his temper.
This is a reflection of the attitudes of the Civil Service – and a very bad PR situation for CUPE.
The attack is documented:
Quoting from the video, the CUPE member demands:
“Who gave you permission to take a picture?”
On a public street, at a public event, this public servant wants to deny citizen journalists the very right to take pictures? What a frightening attitude for an Agent of the State to take!
And, when he is not immediately obeyed, he assaults the picture-taker: BlazingCatFur!
Mr. Mallah clearly recognized BlazingCatFur and the role as citizen-journalist which he plays – so his action was not simply an attack on one person: it is an attack on every Canadian journalist!
Once this has occurred, it is really irrelevant what the public protest was about, or what the various political views of whatever actors in this event or any bystanders are. Because once violence occurs, it is no longer the ‘beliefs’ or ‘convictions’ which motivated someone to one-sided display of violence and attempt to muzzle the press, it is the behaviour – and only the behaviour – which must be the subject of investigation! Attempting to censor and physically intimidate journalists is not a matter that can be taken lightly.
This is Canada – we do NOT tolerate violence! And, we demand that reporters and journalists of all types must not be muzzled, intimidated, attacked, or otherwise interfered with!
An internal investigation (of CUPE by CUPE) is needed, so that violent elements within the union can be expelled and, if necessary, brought to criminal justice. Nothing less than that can restore CUPE’s reputation as a respectable organization. I call on CUPE to take this action, clean up their ranks, to expel and publicly denounce those of its members who would use intimidation and violence to silence journalists and reporters!
Failing that, the various levels of government who employ CUPE members will need to re-evaluate CUPE’s eligibility to represent members of the Civil Service.
And, I am not joking about this.
We cannot tolerate Civil Service Unions which permit their members to intimidate and do violence to members of the press! And, we must demand that all levels of our governments expel from its ranks any and all unions which tolerate their members to assault this cornerstone of freedom of the press, of freedom of speech, on which our society is built!
‘The Media’s’ perception of themselves
November 19, 2008 — xanthippaThis is likely going to be a contentious post: most of the mainstream media (MSM) has a very high opinion about themselves, so if any members of the MSM actually come across this post, they will not be happy… But, with their view of ‘bloggers’ in general and this being a rather small, not well known blog in particular, somehow I doubt this is likely.
In my never-humble-opinion, there are two completely different reasons why the MSM opinion of themselves is so high.
The first one is very easy to explain – it applies mostly to TV journalists. In addition to the second one (to be described bellow), many TV journalists (and some print ones) are, recognized when they are out in the public. This is due to the nature of their job – their images are piped into our homes… and we insist on treating them as celebrities… So, it is not very surprising that some of them begin to suffer from ‘celebrititis’: the mistaken belief that because one is a famous celebrity, one is smarter and better informed than mere mortals are…
The second one is much more difficult to express accurately…
Perhaps because many ‘Western’ journalists have – during the middle part of the 20th century – earned for themselves a reputation of integrity and impartiality, today’s journalists automatically expect the same sort of respect and that same presumption of impartiality.
Yet, many journalists today are unable or unwilling to understand that this reputation was earned by specific journalists. It is not simply a quality conferred onto someone by the virtue of selecting a respected profession and getting trained in it (if they even bother to). Riding on the coat-tails of your predecessors only works for so long before those coat-tails are too threadbare to support your weight!
Even some left-wing journalists are admitting our media is left-wing biased. Just look at some of our ‘Journalism professors’! No wonder this crop of journalists, well, the way it is!!! And people are beginning to notice.
Yet, some journalists remain unable or unwilling to face reality. There is a guy who has a 1-hour call-in talk show on my local radio station in the mornings. This guy drives me nuts by attacking each and every caller who even peripherally mentions ‘media bias’. According to him, there is no such thing – and it is an insult to suggest something like that exists. He looses it and goes postal on anyone who even hints about media bias. His ‘usual’ attack goes something like this:
‘Do you think that you are that much smarter than everyone else? Do you think that everyone else is too stupid to figure out what you did? You need to know ‘both sides’ of a strory to judge if there is ‘media bias’ in how it is reported.
So, if you can see out both sides of the story from what you read and hear – and be convinced of the ‘other than your imagined bias’ side, then obviously, the media gave you enough balanced, unbiased information out of which you were able to form your view! And if you can figure it out, why do you think everyone else is too dumb to do the same? I find your insinuation very insulting!’
He varies that rant – but that is the gist of it….and he can really get worked up about it!
Of course, what this journalist (he was a newspaper editor and still writes columns) does not allow his browbeaten caller to get a word in edgewise, to explain that most people are not information junkies! Yet, some of us are…
Because, in my never-humble-opinion, it is only people who are obsessed (or just ‘highly motivated’) to obtain all kinds of information who are the ones who end up digging up both sides of any story! And, at times, it really means ‘digging up’!!!
Because the substance of the story is often very, very deeply burried. (By whom and why varies – I am not going in for one of them ‘Global Conspiracy Theories’ – rather, I consider this more along he lines of ‘expediency-complacency theory’ or ‘career-objectives compliance theory’ – if you get my drift.
So, people who want to find out what is going on do not simply read the newspapers, watch TV News or listen to the radio – there, they only find the ‘expedient’ or highly ‘normalized’ (for ‘normalized’, read ‘spun’) version of what is going on!
Instead, these people turn to the internet. There, they can find eyewitness accounts of some events. There, they can find non-journalist written reports (as one tiny example, Amnesty International did carry factual information on their site, while mainstream media reported something wildly different – as happened in the case of the stoning of a 13-year-old-rape victim, Aisha Ibrahim Dhuhulow…..reported by the mainstream media as ’23-year-old woman stoned for adultery’!)
So, some people search far and deep for the actual information about what took place – and therefore they ‘get’ ‘both sides’ of a story…. You know, like the journalists of yesteryear used to do !
That, however, does NOT mean that most people – who have other interests – have access to the same information!!! NOT AT ALL!!!
Most people rely on the mainstream media (MSM) to bring the whole story to them. Because they have no time or interest to sift through tons of information, they rely on the reporters and the journalists to do it for them and then present both sides! Yet, both sides are hardly ever presented – most of our current crop of journalists were NOT taught in school to ‘report facts’. Not at all. They were taught to ‘report facts in a way people will ‘properly understand their implications’… where ‘properly’ is dictated by the current intellectual elite’s pet point of view!
In other words, it is not that the caller is ‘smarter’ or ‘more clever’ than the rest of the population as this irritable journalist sarcastically implies. It simply means he or she is more motivated to access non MSM sources and therefore has a broader baseline upon which to form a judgement!
But, let’s not be so dismissive of ‘everyone else’, either. When ‘news’ is less and less informative and sounds more and more like preaching, even the uninformed get suspicious…
Update: The radio host I mentioned in the post has some serious clarifications of his position, as he says I have misrepresented his views. I have posted these in the comment section. Please, take a few moments to read them.
How a 13-year-old rape victim’s execution is being reported
November 1, 2008 — xanthippaAll right, we’ve all heard the gripes about how ‘things’ are distorted and what ‘gets reported’ is not always a factual, unbiased account of the events. But this, this has got to be some of the most bizzare collection of distortions I have seen so far.
Or, at least, that I am aware that I have seen…
As far as I can piece this together (and I am NOT certain of the complete facts), it would appear that 13-year-old girl-child, Aisha Ibrahim Dhuhulow, was gang-raped. She went to register the crime with the courts, presumably expecting the police to find and arrest her rapists.
However, last August, Aisha’s home town of Kismayo – a port in Southern Somalia – had been taken over by Islamist forces and Sharia law had been imposed. When the child came to file her complaint with the police, she was asked ‘if she is sure this is what really happened’. Aisha confirmed that she had, in fact, been gang-raped and asked for justice.
This last bit came back to haunt her, her family, and anyone with a conscience! At this ‘admission of engaging in extramarital sexual intercourse’ and ‘demands to be punished’, the police officials had ‘no choice’ but to arrest her. The ‘Sharia Court’ (if you can call it a court) had heard the case and had ‘no choice’ but to sentence her to death by stoning. After all, she herself ‘freely admitted her guilt’ and ‘demanded justice to be done’!!!
Dressed in black, with a green veil (green – the colour of Islam and peace), she was brought into a large stadium filled with about 1000 people. Reporters, based on her ‘appearance’, guessed her age to be about 23 yearsof age, were forbidden to use their cameras, but radio broadcasts were permitted.
Here, the child was bound hand and foot and – while screaming and pleading for her life – Aisha was buried up to her neck in a hole in the ground.
It would appear that the crowd – or at least some of the people within the crowd – tried to intervene and save the unfortunate child. The ‘guards’ opened fire on the crowd, shooting a child dead.
50 men then started to throw stones at Aisha’s head (the only part of her above ground). When they thought she was dead, they dug her up – but a check showed she was still alive, so they burried her again and continued to throw stones at her. They had dug Aisha up 3 times to check if she is dead yet….and then burried her again to stone her some more…
Her family is distrought and angry. Her father confirmed her age to be 13 years.
This, in itself, is a horrible story. It is a nightmare!
I truly don’t know if there are words strong enough to express my anger and outrage!
But, it would appear, my reaction is not all that usual. At least, if one were to go by what is being said in the many ‘official’ reports of Aisha’s suffering and murder lawbreaking and execution.
Please, consider the following:
AFP (Agence France Presse), the oldest news agency in the world, carries this report:
MOGADISHU (AFP) — Thousands of people gathered Monday to witness 50 Somali men stone a woman to death after an Islamic court in the southern port of Kismayo found her guilty of adultery, witnesses said.
Aisho Ibrahim Dhuhulow, who had been found guilty of extra-marital intercourse was buried in the ground up to her neck while the men pelted her head with rocks.
“Our sister Aisha asked the Islamic Sharia court in Kismayo to be charged and punished for the crime she committed,” local Islamist leader Sheikh Hayakallah told the crowd.
“She admitted in front of the court to engaging in adulterous sexual intercourse,” he added.
“She was asked several times to review her confession but she stressed that she wanted Sharia law and the deserved punishment to apply.”
The execution was carried in one of the city’s main squares.
…
Did you notice the mention of the fact she was a rape victim? No, because this was not mentioned. But you might have noticed how her ‘demand for justice’ was explained by the local Islamist leader Sheikh Hayakallah!!!
Good reporting, AFP, making sure we hear the ‘proper’ side of the story! Good reporting, AFP, for ‘digging for the details of what really happened there’! Bang-up job, you are doning! Truly!
But they are not the only ones reporting on this murder of Aisha along these lines…
Surely, that ‘most extreme-right-wing-media outlet’, Fox News, will have done a bit of digging around to find out what was happening, right? If so, it was not mentioned in their article, ‘Somali woman stoned to death for adultery’!
No verification with her family, or Amnesty International, which also seems to have had no trouble learning Aisha’s true age – 13, not the 23 admittedly arrived at by a reporter’s ‘guess’….
No explanation that the ‘adultery’ in question consisted of being gang-raped….
WHAT THE F$*&Q^#$*&!!!!!!
How about other sources?
The ‘neutral’ and award winning Sky News reported: ‘Cheating’ woman stoned to death. I suppose the ‘Cheating’ – being in quotation marks – constitutes ‘neutrality’ (also in quotation marks). And, they do report that while the officials explained she demanded this punishment herself (!), they do quote witnesses that heard her scream and saw her struggle….and they hint that only the guns of the guards – who killed a child in the process – kept the crowd from freeing poor Aisha. But, not the correct age, not a peep about the fact that she had been the victim of rape….except those quotation marks around ‘cheating’, that is…
Why is it that one has to go to blogs (A New Dark Age Is Dawning) and non-mainstream media like ‘Islam: the religion of peace’ to find out information, and only then can kernels of it be seen in the ‘respectable news-outlets’ reports?
It was not until today, 5-or-so days after her murder execution, that there is even a peep about the true story…. CNN carried the little mention.
What are we doing? Are we ‘normalizing’ Islamist violence against women? Are we all headed for the burka?
Nike (among others!!!) is already working to normalize such attitudes!
Xanthippa's Chamberpot
