Today We Talk About Turkey, Terrorism and the Turkish Hizbullah/Hizbollah …
15th July 2008

Whenever we bloggers blog, we invariably hope to hell that somebody, somewhere spends at least some of their time reading what we’ve written. And whenever we’re ‘linked’ by any brother/sister bloggers we’re bound to believe it’s ‘nice’ - and to brag a bit too - to say the least.
It’s nicer still when any of those links are from ‘foreigners’ from far off places.
As for as ourselves, for reasons that should be obvious to all our regular readers, it’s particularly pleasing to find ourselves/our work being talked about by Turks … in Turkey.
And it’s nicer still when a subject we had fully intended to talk about in some detail - soon - turns out to have already been done for us … entirely unplanned and entirely independently.
So, here for personal perusal is a snip from today’s “Turkish Blog Count.”
Attack on the US Consulate in Istanbul
As noted above, on July 9th an attack against the US Consulate building in Istanbul was carried out.
Three policeman were killed as well as three attackers, the real blog buzz, however, is focused on not only why the attack was carried out, but who was responsible, and how it was handled by the authorities.
Read the rest of that report, right here. And, note that the next clip & paste (from within that article) is the previously referred to reference/link to ‘This Old Brit‘.
In fact, a non-Turkish blog stated that they were convinced the attacks were carried out by Kurdish terrorist groups as well:
Now, nobody should have seriously supposed we were set to leave this very, very interesting topic alone … before we’d sown some seeds. Well, should they?
So here’s what we want to say.
We smell the stink of something fishy. In fact we strongly suspect that somebody, somewhere is setting somebody, somewhere up for something.
And, setting them up for something special. Such as… something as (seriously), special as carrying somebody else’s can.
What’s more, we’d sincerely suggest we’re all set to see & hear said ’something special’, pretty soon.
As always though, time alone will tell.

Good work, TOB. Nationalism and religion, two plagues on humanity.
(I look forward to the day we can call ourselves citizens of the world and mean it.)

“I look forward to the day we can call ourselves citizens of the world and mean it.)”
You can start today Shortfall.
How about Zimbabwe?
Darfur?
Cascadia?
I’m working on the half million you said it would take :+)

Ironic that you would mention Zimbabwe and Darfur, BRT. Without religion and nationalism, they would not be the hellish places they are.
Keep working on the fundraising. I’ll start shopping for property on the Portuguese coast. All I need to find happiness is bacalao and plenty of Douro.

You can get salted codfish and BoJangles Peach right there in La La land Shortchange. It doesn’t take half a million bucks to support THAT kind of lifestyle.
Would you settle for $39.50?
Seriously…….

Timothy Shortell, Ph.D., doesn’t hail from L.A. He’s the most dangerous professor on the EAST coast.

Don’t you mean he’s the most dangerous professor in the world? But just happens to be on the East coast. ;^]

I’m the one who should really be afraid. I probably live closer to him then anyone else here. How do I protect my children?

Tommy–
I don’t think you understand what you’re up against. You CAN’T protect your children. The only thing you can do is capitulate fully, by submitting yourself to the doctrines of godless socialism and general leftism. That’s how dangerous he is.

Well you COULD contribute to my fund to get him relocated to the Danakil.

BRT–
You’re seriously underestimating the danger. David Horowitz tried to warn you, but you wouldn’t listen. Banishing him to Danakil will work about as well as banishing Napoleon to Elba. If you kill him, 1,000 Timothy Shortell, Ph.D.s will spring up in his place. Your only real hope is to stop drawing attention to yourself and hope that you can find a good hiding place when a wave of Shortellism washes over the country.
More information on Horowitz’ fine work can be found here.
