1st amendment? We don’t need no stinkin first amendment: Links 1 for Sept. 16 – 2014
1. How does turning a T shirt inside out make it into a Nike one? It must be a MIRACLE!
2. Speaking of sports store ethics
(I called in with a few questions of my own)
4. UK: Jewish Schoolchildren Barred from Shop, Told ‘No Jews’
A leading British retailer has been forced to apologize after a shocking incident in which a security guard outside the store barred Jewish schoolchildren from entering.
Children from Yavneh College high school in London were astonished when the guard blocked them from entering and said simply: “No Jews, no Jews,” according to the Jewish Chronicle.
(And yet the basic right to deny entry to someone who has totally covered their face to a private business is still denied and the cost of attempting to do so would be large in many ways)
5. First US strike under new IS plan
(Video at site)
US officials said the strike destroyed an IS fighting position near Baghdad, five days after President Obama outlined his new anti-IS strategy.
IS has seized large areas of Syria and Iraq and declared a “caliphate”.
Meanwhile, Iraq’s new PM saw his two nominations for defence and interior minister rejected by parliament.
6. Westfield Stratford evacuated over ‘security alert’
Thousands of shoppers were today evacuated from Westfield Stratford City after a security alert. Scotland Yard confirmed police were on the scene, yards form the Olympic Park, for over two hours after reports of a suspect package.
Evacuation: Westfield Stratford
A Met spokesman said: “Police were called at 12.10 to reports and officers remain on the scene. The shopping centre was fully evacuated at 13.45.”
The Met later confirmed the incident had been “stood down”.
Witnesses on the scene described seeing a section of the shopping centre near Marks and Spencer being cordoned off by police.
(Dress rehearsal for a catastrophe?)
7. Caroline Glick: Obama’s self-defeating fight
(How do women from the West, ostensibly grounded in classical values, come to casually accept the presence of a slave in the room just because she is not a muslim?)
8. No government must ever be allowed to get away with abuse of public trust and of their positions for personal gain in this or any similar manner.
Thank you Tundra T., Oz-Rita, M., and all. More to come indeed. One can’t help but wonder if the increase in frequency of bomb scares isn’t a win for terrorists either way. Either we disrupt our own activities to the point where they become so expensive and cumbersome that we stop doing them, or we stop leaving the buildings and then the bombs really do go off. More later.
