BANGKOK (AP) — Thai police investigating a strong smell emanating from a Buddhist temple have found more than 2,000 fetuses hidden in the complex's morgue that appear to have come from illegal abortion clinics. During an initial investigation at the temple in Bangkok on Tuesday, police discovered piles of plastic bags containing more than 300 fetuses. Police Lt. Col. Kanathud Musiganont said workers pulled more bodies from the temple's morgue Friday. More than 2,000 have been unearthed from vaults where bodies are traditionally interred pending cremation, which under some circumstances can take place years after death. Abortion is illegal in...

Yesterday evening, I wrote about CNN’s use of an obvious fake video ( see here : http://hotair.com/archives/2009/01/08/cnn-stung-by-fake-atrocity-video), sourced from Hamas’ webmaster, of an alleged Israeli attack on two young boys playing on a roof. After being exposed by blogs, CNN took the video down without any explanation. As of 4:30 pm ET today, though, the video has returned to CNN’s site ( SEE HERE : http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/world/2009/01/07/holmes.gaza.boy.cnn ), although they seem to have turned off the embedding for it. This version did get onto YouTube earlier — in fact, we used that to discuss this on today’s TEMS episode: SEE VIDEO...

I saw this segment earlier on CNN and wondered at the time how easily this could have been faked. Pretty darned easily, as LGF discovered, and the questions start where the fakery seems most obvious: The story was supposedly that a freelance journalist in Gaza returned home to find his younger brother dead, the victim of a missile attack on a residential rooftop from an unmanned IDF drone. The video shows the supposed scene of the attack, and follows the Gaza family from the hospital to the burial, after a heroic attempt by doctors to revive the young child. Only,...

CHICAGO -- An artist's video game that is being exhibited at a free-speech exhibit in Chicago challenges players to kill the president. The video game is part of a "confrontational art" exhibit by Chicago-based artist Wafaa Bilal. In the 3-D game, "The Night of Bush Capturing; A Virtual Jihadi," players are sent on a mission to kill President George W. Bush. Bilal, 42, said his art is a personal attempt to deal with the deaths of citizens in the country of his birth. The artist said his brother died in Iraq in 2004 from a U.S bomb. The game is...

A judge getting ready to send Joshua Komisarjevsky to prison in 2002 called him a "cold, calculating predator." Equipped with night-vision goggles and armed with a knife, he would slash his way through screens into houses around his hometown of Cheshire, stealing mostly electronic equipment and petty cash to pay for a drug habit. Steven Hayes had a record more noteworthy for its length than the severity of the crimes - decades of larcenies, burglaries and check forgeries. Hayes committed most of his crimes in the northwest corner, near his home in Winsted - far from Sorghum Mill Drive in...

NAYAGARH, India, July 24, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The BBC reports that police have found 30 bags full of baby body parts outside an abortion facility in the eastern Indian state of Orissa. Local forensic experts suggest the remains are the product of illegal sex-selective abortions.The owners of the abortion facility have been taken into custody. Police have said there is no way of knowing how many bodies were found in the bags recovered from a waste dump near the town of Nayagarh.Abortion, sonograms and the traditional cultural preference for boys have combined to cause a lopsided sex demographic in...

PLAINVILLE - His patients came to Dr. Bill Petit's medical office Monday in tears. After learning that Petit's wife and two daughters were killed Monday during a home invasion in Cheshire, they turned for comfort and answers to the place where they knew him best. "Why?" said one patient who entered the office, sobbing uncontrollably. A nurse on staff comforted her. The news seemed unbelievable, senseless suffering for a prominent family that by all accounts is warm, giving, and singularly dedicated to the community. Petit, 50, is a highly respected endocrinologist and diabetes expert who sends hand-written condolence cards when...

After more than 60 years of silence, World War II's most enduring and horrible secret is being nudged into the light of day. One by one the participants, white-haired and mildmannered, line up to tell their dreadful stories before they die. Akira Makino is a frail widower living near Osaka in Japan. His only unusual habit is to regularly visit an obscure little town in the southern Philippines, where he gives clothes to poor children and has set up war memorials. Mr Makino was stationed there during the war. What he never told anybody, including his wife, was that during...

Healthy new-born babies may have been killed in Ukraine to feed a flourishing international trade in stem cells, evidence obtained by the BBC suggests. Disturbing video footage of post-mortem examinations on dismembered tiny bodies raises serious questions about what happened to them. Ukraine has become the self-styled stem cell capital of the world. There is a trade in stem cells from aborted foetuses, amid unproven claims they can help fight many diseases. But now there are claims that stem cells are also being harvested from live babies. Wall of silence The BBC has spoken to mothers from the city of...

In April 2004, a nurse named Abby* made an appointment with Richard Collier of the Legal Center for Defense to tell him of an incident she thought violated the Born Alive Infants Protection Act.  Abby worked in the labor and delivery department of a major regional hospital in New Jersey. Abby told Collier about a baby boy who was aborted alive there earlier that year and placed in the "dirty room" until he died several hours later.  The attending nurse was so disturbed she described the event to Abby.The boy was between 20-23 weeks old and aborted after a doctor...

Hizbollah Caught Planning an AtrocityAugust 2, 2006: Israeli troops operating in south Lebanon captured a Hezbollah safe house, and found the usual weapons and other equipment, as well as a supply of Israeli Defense Force uniforms. This indicated plans to stage a major "atrocity." Committed, as the evidence would clearly show, by Israeli troops. But perhaps this will never happen, for Israeli raids into southern Lebanon have captured many Hizbollah documents, as well as some live Hizbollah members. These, combined with Israeli electronic eavesdropping, reports from agents inside Lebanon, give the Israelis a pretty good idea of what Hizbollah is...

(CBS4 News) HIALEAH Hialeah Police Homicide Detectives are investigating the gruesome discovery of a dead baby’s body inside of an abortion clinic [Isn't that what abortion clinics do?] but conflicting stories may prove there's more to the discovery than meets the eye. The body was found at “A Gynecologists Diagnostic Center,” 3671 West 16th Avenue in Hialeah. Witnesses tell police that a young woman, whose identity has not been released, arrived at the clinic last Thursday at roughly 22 weeks pregnant for an abortion procedure. Police say the woman arrived the next day after the procedure complaining of severe pain....

Hundreds pay respects to Ta Mok In a traditional Buddhist funeral ceremony, incense was burned and prayers recited over Ta Mok's body, which was daubed with white powder. The ceremony took place in Ta Mok's former stronghold of Anlong Veng, in the north of Cambodia. Ta Mok, who died on Friday, was the regime's military commander and linked to many atrocities of the 1970s. About 1.7 million people died under the Khmer Rouge, through a combination of starvation, disease and execution. Ta Mok was the only Khmer Rouge leader who refused to bargain with authorities following the collapse of the...

BAGHDAD, Iraq, June 20 — The American military said today that it had found the remains of what appears to be the two American soldiers captured by insurgents last week in an ambush south of the capital, and a senior Iraqi military official said the two men had been "brutally tortured." SNIP Maj. Gen. Abdul Azziz Mohammed Jassim, the chief of operations of the Ministry of Defense, said that he had seen an official report and that he could confirm the two Americans had been "killed in a very brutal way and tortured." "There were traces of torture on their...

Setting the record straight on Haditha By Mary Katharine Ham Jun 12, 2006 When I worked at a newspaper, my fellow reporters and I made mistakes. Sometimes those mistakes were on the front page of the paper; sometimes tucked away on B7 between the obits and the county's largest legume. Sometimes they were mispelled names and misplaced box scores; sometimes misused facts and mishandled reputations. But no matter the nature of the mistake-- its size or its import-- the correction always went in the same place. Second page of the A section, bottom right-hand corner. It was policy, and the...

Ex-soldier fights to make Japan remember its past By Colin Joyce in Tokyo (Filed: 07/06/2006) Japan's amnesia over its militarist past is being challenged by a compelling documentary film which suggests that the Japanese army breached the terms of surrender in 1945 by leaving soldiers to fight on in China. The Ants, to be released next month, records the struggle of the Japanese veteran Waichi Okumura to put atrocities on record and to tell the story of the forgotten soldiers left behind in China. Now 81, Mr Okumura revisited Shanxi province where he fought, including a pilgrimage to the place...

Sorry about the vanity. It is my first and hopefully my last, but this has me pretty well boiling. I did a real double take this evening during Bill O'Reilly's conversation with General Wesley Clark. Talking about past incidents of wartime atrocities, O'Reilly twice mentioned Malmedy. The first time I merely thought it was out of place in what otherwise seemed to be a listing of atrocities committed against American troops. However, when Clark pushed him a little, O'Reilly spouted on about Malmedy being a massacre of SS Troops by Americans. It was, of course, precisely the opposite, but the...

WASHINGTON (AP) - Military investigators probing the deaths last November of about two dozen Iraqi civilians have evidence that points toward unprovoked murders by Marines, a senior defense official said Friday. The Marine Corps initially reported 15 deaths and said they were caused by a roadside bomb and an ensuing firefight with insurgents. A separate investigation is aimed at determining if Marines lied to cover up the events, which included the deaths of women and children. If confirmed as unjustified killings, the episode could be the most serious case of criminal misconduct by U.S. troops during three years of combat...

State health officials on Wednesday shut down a Birmingham abortion clinic after a woman was told she was six weeks pregnant and given an abortion-inducing drug, then delivered a 6 pound, 4 ounce stillborn child at a local hospital.[Not the abortion clinic] The State Board of Health issued an emergency order of license suspension on Wednesday against Summit Medical Center of Alabama on Southside. “That’s not something we do very often,” said Dr. Donald Williamson, state health officer. “The incident involved multiple and serious violations of the rules. There was no other means to address it except an emergency suspension.”...

Khurja (Uttar Pradesh): It's a gory tale of child sacrifice being practiced as a ritual in the dark alleys of rural India. A woman and her two sons sacrificed their eight-year-old neighbour in Khurja disrict of Uttar Pradesh on a local tantrik's advice. The sacrifice, prescribed by a local tantrik, was meant get Sumitra and her two sons - Sanju and Satbir - rid of the nightmares they had been getting. "It's because of blind superstitions and rampant illiteracy in the area, that this woman sacrificed an eight-year-old boy," Additional Superintendent of Police, Khurja, A K Singh, said. The modus...

Her comments have stirred protest...

AT LEAST 20 new-born babies and foetuses are dumped in Harare’s sewer system every week, reports said Friday. The Harare City Council said the baby dumping frequently led to the clogging of the sewerage network in and around the city. “The situation is very serious and I think there is need for a cultural shift because some of the things that are happening now are shocking,” town clerk Nomutsa Chideya told the Herald. “Apart from upsetting the normal flow of waste to our works, it is not right from a moral standpoint.” Sand and an assortment of discarded bits and...

Prescription drugs are replacing, rather than complementing, ``talk therapy'' in the treatment of depressed children and adolescents, according to a major new study by Stanford doctors. The trend runs counter to guidelines that call for psychotherapy, which teaches problem-solving and examines negative thought patterns, as the first line of treatment for depressed youth. The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry advises medication for only the most-serious forms of mental illness -- and then only in combination with psychotherapy.

HORRIFYING revelations of forced abortions and compulsory sterilisation in China embarrassed the Beijing government last week just as President Hu Jintao took the international stage. They have described brutal coercion that started last March when the local authorities panicked over the number of “unplanned births”. Women told how they were held down as doctors jammed needles into them to induce abortions in the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy. One victim, Li Juan, 23, told Time that she was in the ninth month of pregnancy when a group of men pinned her down on a bed in a local clinic...

How local officials in China launched a brutal campaign of forced abortions and sterilizations The men with the poison-filled syringe arrived two days before Li Juan's due date. They pinned her down on a bed in a local clinic, she says, and drove the needle into her abdomen until it entered the 9-month-old fetus. "At first, I could feel my child kicking a lot," says the 23-year-old. "Then, after a while, I couldn't feel her moving anymore." Ten hours later, Li delivered the girl she had intended to name Shuang (Bright). The baby was dead. To be absolutely sure, says...

A 10-month-old baby is fighting for her life after being attacked for her necklace on a busy New York street. Horrified witnesses said a man lunged at little Isabelle Avins in her stroller and began stabbing her with one hand as he tried to rip off her gold chain with the other. The girl's 20-year-old nanny tried to fend off the man but was overpowered. 'He just came out of nowhere,' eyewitness Hennessey Arias told the New York Post newspaper. 'The baby had a chain on her neck, a simple little chain, not all that much. 'Everything happened so fast,...

Two Britons reported dead in resort atrocity as tourists flee Egypt fearing fresh wave of attacks By Hugh Miles in Sharm el-Sheikh and Colin Freeman (Filed: 24/07/2005) Hundreds of British tourists fled Egypt last night, fearing fresh terrorist attacks after three bombs ripped through the popular Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.

BERLIN (Reuters) - Hartmut Topf has spent a lifetime trying to comprehend why family firm Topf & Soehne agreed 64 years ago to build crematoria for Auschwitz and enable industrialized mass murder. He knows there can be no satisfactory answer. A new Berlin exhibition sheds light on Topf, one of countless largely forgotten small firms to provide the technical know-how for the Holocaust. It tries to trace why this eastern German furnace maker became entangled with the Nazis, despite sensing what the ovens were being used for. Fresh archive evidence shows the brothers who ran Topf, cousins of Hartmut's father,...

BAGHDAD, Iraq — A car bomber sped up to American soldiers distributing candy to children and detonated his explosives Wednesday, killing up to 27 other people, U.S. and Iraqi officials said. One U.S. soldier and about a dozen children were among the dead. At least 21 others, including three U.S. soldiers, were wounded in the attack, the second major homicide bombing in Baghdad this week.

More than 50 people died in the London bomb attacks, the head of the Metropolitan Police has said. Sir Ian Blair said the final death toll was unlikely to top 100, but warned an unknown number of bodies remain in the blast-hit Tube train at Russell Square. The police chief confirmed that 13 people were killed in the bus blast at Tavistock Square. The police had an "implacable resolve" to track down those responsible for the bombings, the Met Commissioner said. The blasts on three Tubes and a bus left 700 hurt, with 100 held overnight in hospital and 22...

Japan's wartime gas plant found in N. Chinawww.chinaview.cn 2005-07-03 07:39:53 HOHHOT, July 2 (Xinhuanet) -- Chinese experts have discovered new evidence of the Japanese wartime atrocity in China -- a toxic gas experiment plant in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The plant, known to the locals as "Bayanhan", is located on the grassland of the Ewenki Autonomous Banner in Hulun Buir city, said Xu Zhanjiang, a researcher on the history of Japanese biological war with the Harbin Municipal Academy of Social Sciences in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province.

Bush Meets Privately With Noted N. Korean Defector By Peter Baker and Glenn Kessler Washington Post Staff Writers Tuesday, June 14, 2005; Page A04 President Bush met privately yesterday with a well-known North Korean defector who spent 10 years in a prison camp and has since become an outspoken critic of his homeland's government, a move that could provoke Pyongyang just as it was reviving stalled nuclear talks. Bush invited Kang Chol Hwan, a journalist and director of the Democracy Network Against North Korean Gulag, to visit with him in the Oval Office and recount his tale of suffering in...

The explosions that sparked the bloody end to last September's school hostage seizure in Beslan were touched off when sharpshooters killed two militants holding triggers to homemade bombs, a suspect being tried for the massacre testified. The ITAR-Tass news agency quoted Nur-Pashi Kulayev as saying the leader of the 32 heavily armed militants - whom he called "Colonel" - entered the packed gymnasium where more than 1,100 hostages were held after the bombs detonated and smashed his cell phone. "He said: They won't take pity on anyone; we fight to the last cartridge'," ITAR-Tass quoted Kulayev as saying as he...

Beijing blacks out anti-Japan protests By Antoaneta Bezlova BEIJING - As anti-Japanese protests continued for a third day in a row Tuesday, government censors imposed a news blackout on coverage of protests, signaling that Beijing was trying to contain further damage to already strained Sino-Japanese relations. None of the nation's thousands of newspapers, television stations and news websites carried any details of the protests that took the capital by storm on Saturday. On Sunday, hundreds of full-gear riot police blocked access to the diplomatic quarter in downtown Beijing, but avoided direct confrontation with protesters. In sharp contrast with the full...

This week's Indonesian court verdict against Abu Bakar Bashir on 'evil conspiracy' charges meted out a pickpocket's punishment to a terrorist ringleader responsible for an atrocity second only to 9/11. Bashir's 2 ½ year sentence for the October 2002 Bali nightclub bombing is a parody of justice and an insult to the lost lives of the U.S., Australian, Indonesian and other citizens who died in the attack. This sentence is especially bitter because the U.S. and Australia have expended so much blood and treasure to rid the world of terrorism elsewhere in Asia. But in Indonesia, there is no justice...

New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) has long been rumored as desperately seeking the democratic nomination for president in 2008. And while many political observers fully expect the power hungry former First Lady to hit the campaign trail within only a few months of being re-elected as a US Senator in 2006, US News & World report claims to have a confirmation of sorts. From USNews.Com's Washington Whispers: Hillary's in… You don't have to take it from us about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton 's desire to run for president. Her brothers, Hugh and Tony Rodham, say it's true. Friends...

SAN FRANCISCO (News Frontiers) – The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that a man required to wear a signboard stating "I stole mail. This is my punishment," outside a San Francisco post office was unreasonably sanctioned. The 9th Circuit overturned a lower federal court's order that required mail thief and activist George Soarass to wear the sign, noting the public humiliation was intended to "break" him of an illusion he had committed a “victimless” crime. Paired with requiring Soarass to write apologies and lecture at a high school, the "somewhat crude" condition he wear the signboard provided...

FRENCH SOLIDERS OPEN FIRE ON INNOCENT CIVILAINS ON THE IVORY COAST (WARNING VERY GRAPHIC VIDEO)

The tragedy in Russia is not a surprise to me. The muslim fanatics from Chechnya are trying to steal an oil rich province that has belonged to Russia since 1812. Imagine Mexicans trying to take back, thru force, California. My fellow American's, how would you feel and what would you do? Answer- It would be bloody murder in the streets of Mexico City. Here are a few questions for Mr. Putin- Why are the Russians soft with the muslim extremists? Why does Russia blindly support radical middle eastern countries (i.e. Saddam's Iraq, Iran, Syria)? Why is Russia building Iran a...

Amnesty International Outraged at Execution of a 16 Year Old Girl! Public Statement Amnesty International today expressed its outrage at the reported execution of a girl who is believed to be 16 years old, Ateqeh Rajabi, in Neka in the northern Iranian province of Mazandaran, on 15 August, for "acts incompatible with chastity" (amal-e manafe-ye 'ofat). Ateqeh Rajabi was reportedly publicly hanged on a street in the city centre of Neka. Amnesty International is alarmed that this execution was carried out despite reports that Ateqeh Rajabi was not believed to be mentally competent, and that she reportedly did not have...

Here is an old article from WND. It further puts the Abu Ghraib Abuses in perspective. Like many of you, I have been struggling to understand why the French have behaved as they do regarding the United States. As this is one subject fraught with opinion but very little fact, a bit of digging seemed to be in order. Some of the trail led to Africa, where France has continued its century-long, "sphere of influence" (read as "assumed ownership") of parts of that continent. France has regularly behaved in a such a well-documented, murderous manner that, were it the United...

DO NOT FORGET I sat in a movie theatre watching "Schindler's List," and asked myself, "Why didn't the Jews fight back?" I sat in a movie theatre watching "Pearl Harbor," and asked myself, "Why weren't we prepared?" Now I know why. Civilized people cannot fathom, much less predict, the actions of evil people. On September 11, thousands of innocent people were murdered because too many Americans naively rejected the reality that some nations are dedicated to the dominance of others. Many political pundits, pacifists and media personnel want us to forget the carnage. They say we must focus on the...

Kristinn just called me and asked me to post this thread. He just called CBS Evening News and asked them if they were going to show the militant Islamists' video of the beheading of American Nick Berg.The woman who answered the phone said that they were going to do a story on it, but they were NOT going to show the full video.He asked them, "Why not, since you had no problem showing the pictures of the Iraqis being abused by our guys in the prison. Don't you think turnabout is fair play?"The woman got mad and said, "Thank you...
