Malevolent puppet-masters like Arianna Huffington, Beyonce, Whoopi Goldberg, Loretta Lynch, George Soros and Rachel Maddow bang the drums of war and hate to their base There is nothing new under the sun: Ecclesiastes 1:9 While the above phrase was written over 2,000 years ago, the author of Ecclesiastes composed one of the most profound truisms in history. There really is nothing new under the sun when it comes to human beings and that predictability has often been used by unscrupulous scoundrels to manipulate people. Such is the case in today’s democrats/leftists who are playing into the hands of Leftopathic leaders...

The international community's failure to distinguish good from evil -- and the victims it produces. We have reached the point where moral equivalence has become a moral atrocity. The smart set in the West has insisted for over a generation that Israel and the Palestinians are morally equal. There are extremists, on both sides, they say. Both sides are responsible for the absence of peace. The first serious outcry against this lie came immediately after the Palestinians began their terrorist war against Israel in September 2000. That war, incited, directed, funded, commanded and celebrated by Yassir Arafat and his henchmen,...

France on Sunday called escalating violence in Israel and Palestinian-controlled territories "extremely worrying and dangerous." The office of President Francois Hollande said "everything must be done to calm the situation and end this cycle (of violence) which has already caused too many victims."

OGDEN -- Was it a friendly group bicycle ride through downtown Ogden or a confrontational melee that included obstructing traffic, assault, obscenities and alcohol? Depends on who you talk to. Numbers vary from 35 to 70, but a large group of cyclists, referred to as Critical Mass, was taking a monthly ride to celebrate cycling and assert their rights to the road on Friday when Ogden police say things got out of hand. Four individuals were arrested on charges of disorderly conduct, failure to disperse and public intoxication. Matt Hasenyager, owner of Skyline Cycle and one of the bicyclists, said...

The Cycle of Violence: NOW WITH HYPERLINKED INSTRUCTION MANUAL by Mia T, 5.14.04 by Mia T, 5.13.04   hen ceci connolley referred the other night (Special Report-Brit Hume, FoxNews) to the decapitation of Nick Berg by the islamofascist animals as "part of the cycle of violence," my hair stood up on end. It was clear to me that Connolley, a leftist, was attempting to subtlely equate that unspeakable subhuman horror with the Dems' BushBash du jour, the so-called Iraqi-prisoner abuse. (Explicitly equating the two would never sell, and besides, doing so wouldn't exactly be an image-enhancing move for Ms. Connolley,...

State drops Christian children's home Will no longer refer kids to facility because of church-attendance policy Posted: April 1, 2004 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com Because the Tennessee Department of Children's Services disapproves of a successful children's home's practice of taking its child residents to church each week, the state agency will no longer refer children to the care facility. The new government policy seeks to ensure the religious freedom of the children under the state's care in compliance with a federal court order that requires a state contract for all children's care providers. Those who run the Tennessee...

The plane fired a missile at the home of Mahmoud al-Zahar, one of Hamas's top political officials, killing his eldest son and a bodyguard, as a new wave of tit-for-tat violence drowned a dying U.S.-backed peace plan in blood. Zahar was standing in the doorway of his house at the time of the strike and was thrown clear by...

If you think that the era of incantations ended in the Middle Ages, you're quite wrong. It's alive and flourishing. Let me alert you to some egregious instances. For over a year, and ending just about two months ago, Colon Powell, successor to Madeline ½bright as Secretary of State, penetrated to the depths of the Mideast conflict by repeatedly uttering the incantation, "cycle of violence." ...more

The Shopping Cycle Yehoshua Mizrachi 02 August 2002 Email this story Print this story ‘Cycle of violence?’ For months now, our extensive international network of Israeli hasbarah (PR) professionals (all two of them) have decried the attempts of Arab propagandists and other Jew-haters to equate the indiscriminate murders of innocent civilians by homicide bombers with Israel’s legitimate, surgical military operations undertaken in self-defense. There is no cycle of violence, they argue, only acts of vicious terrorism. However, gentle reader, I have a terrible secret to reveal: the hasbarah-niks have it wrong.
