All Within The State, Nothing Outside The State, Nothing Against The State

The Chinese Communist Party's persecution of civic groups (including an independent rural library association)

The CCP's must be a pretty insecure lot if they're that afraid of librarians.

Terrorist Advocacy Group CAGE Describes Islamofascist Head-Chopping Barbarian As “A Beautiful Young Man”

I can think of a few other things ‘Jihad John’ could be called.

And “beautiful” ain’t one of ’em.

The decapitated head of American aid worker Peter Edward Kassig lies at the feet of an ISIS terrorist.

(Curiously, CAGE had no similar eulogy for Peter Edward Kassig – decapitated by Mohammed ‘Jihad John’ Emwazi & his subhuman confederates. Image from Live Leak.)

UPDATE: Video of CAGE research director Asim Qureshi advocating the fight for human rights Islamofascist terrorism around the globe.

UPDATE #2: Terrorist-sympathizing fifth-columnist Cerie Bullivant from CAGE refuses on no uncertain terms to condemn savage beheadings committed by his fellow Islamofascists.

UPDATE (Mar 6, 2015): “Human rights” campaigner Asim Qureshi from CAGE unable to answer whether sharia-mandated death-by-stoning constitutes a violation of human rights.

I do not think that “human rights” means what Asim Qureshi thinks it means.

It’s The Islamic Supremacism, Stupid.

Some "random attacks" by the JV team. Welcome to the Dark Ages.

UPDATE (Mar 3 / 2014): Turns out the majority of the Mosul Museum exhibits destroyed in this ISIS video were replicas. The winged bull however, was the genuine article.

Historian Joe Hung Refutes Historian Joe Hung

"It was [Taiwan Governor] Ch'en Ch'eng who initiated one of the world's most successful land reform programs on April 12, 1949."
— Joe Hung, A History of Taiwan. (2000). p. 261.

"Incidentally, no reform has ever succeeded in Chinese history."
— Joe Hung, "Can Tsai Ing-wen win next year?" The China Post. February 23, 2015.

At least ONE of them is lying. But is it Joe Hung, or is it…Joe Hung?

So That’s Why There’s So Many Women Hobbling Around In Taipei From Chinese Foot Binding…

Joe Hung from Taiwan's China Post: 'No reform has EVER succeeded in Chinese history.'

(Dumber than my boots: Dim-witted PhD-edjamacated historian Joe Hung, on why progress and reform are categorical impossibilities.)

UPDATE: Contrary to my earlier sarcasm, up to 70% of urban women in Taiwan once had their feet bound for cosmetic reasons – but the practice was completely eradicated many, many years ago.

Horribly curled toes due to Chinese foot binding.

UPDATE #2: The full quote, from Joe Hung's latest China Post column:

Every presidential candidate promises reform. It's a hackneyed political cliche. Incidentally, no reform has ever succeeded in Chinese history. Can anyone build a corruption-free government? Corruption is universal, and no governments have succeeded in stomping out corruption and graft throughout history. Transparency in government is an ideal every democracy clings to, but has never fully achieved. [emphasis added]

All reforms are failures then, unless they deliver utopia. That's Joe Hung, setting the bar a little too high.

Two Administrations In One!

"And, of course, that's the story extremists and terrorists don't want the world to know — Muslims succeeding and thriving in America. Because when that truth is known, it exposes their propaganda as the lie that it is."
— President Barack Obama

"[W]e in the administration and the government should give voice to the plight of Muslims living in this country and the discrimination that they face."
— Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson

So, if I understand this correctly, America is a wonderful place where Muslims succeed and thrive…while they're being relentlessly oppressed and discriminated against.

Immanentizing The Eschaton

The apocalyptic world-view of ISIS (and how it differs from al-Qaeda)

“We will conquer your Rome, break your crosses, and enslave your women,” [Sheikh Abu Muhammad al-Adnani], the [ISIS] spokesman, promised in one of his periodic valentines to the West. “If we do not reach that time, then our children and grandchildren will reach it, and they will sell your sons as slaves at the slave market.”
