KSM Trials Protest New York City

2009-12-05T15:51:00.042-05:00

I went to the KSM Trials Protest downtown today at Foley Square. Despite the cold rain there was a nice turnout!

YES! And Holder continues to act stupidly. If this sham of a political circus takes place, gird yourselves for more. These trials will take years to play out, giving a global soap box to savages who strain the English language in fully describing their evil and depravity. 8 years wasn't very long ago. The memories of September 11th are seared in my mind forever. I couldn't forget it if I lived a thousand lifetimes.

One of the speakers today talked about walking into the lobby of the WTC for work that morning and being consumed in a fireball. Burned over most of her body, she awoke from a coma over a month later to be told of the thousands dead and destruction of the towers. Now we have Fort Hood. What are these people thinking??

FOX News seemed to be the only major media outlet covering the event.

It was very organized and orderly and there was a lot of good energy, but the people who came were dead serious and angry about Holder's political circus trials.

Obama is a Chump!

VIDEO:

Debra Burlingame, sister of one of the pilots murdered in the cockpit of the plane that hit the Pentagon. She said he wasn’t a ‘victim’, that he was a fighter. It took the terrorists 6 minutes to murder he and the other pilot in the cockpit. 6 minutes in a cockpit is a long time..

MUST-SEE VIDEO: New York City Firefighter Peter Regen, US Marine, two-time Iraq War Veteran and son of a Fireman killed on September 11th.

Actor, Brian Dennehy read a statement written by the parents of Daniel Pearl-- the Wall Street Journal reporter whose precious head was sawed off personally by KSM after being kidnapped in Pakistan.

Andrew C. McCarthy! Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney who led the 1995 prosecution against Shiek Omar Abdel Rahman and eleven others in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.

Curtis Sliwa said that because Eric Holder is from Queens, New York, he is a "double disgrace."

Talk radio host, Steve Marlzberg did an oustanding job as emcee.

At one point a crazed 9/11 Truther stormed the stage and screamed that it was 'an inside job.' I was standing within a couple of feet of the incident, but my hands were so cold and wet I wasn't able to get my camera up in time. He was hustled off the stage by security and let go.

UPDATE 12/7: Candice who attended the rally happened to be in the coffee shop when the guy was apprehended and got these amazing pictures! Click here to view.

Thanks so much to Candice for being there and for sending them in!

UPDATE 12/9: Turns out the stage jumper is Nico Haupt, king crab of all the '9/11 Inside Job' truther nutcases!

Here he is walking away by the barriers. A moment later cops chased after him, he ran into a coffee shop and was apprehended and arrested.

David Beamer, Todd Beamer's father urged Obama to stand up, show leadership and remove Eric Holder. All of the speakers were terrific, but Mr. Beamer's statements to President Obowma were especially memorable. Please take the time to view the C-Span link below.

Veterans Day Parade New York City 2009

2009-11-11T16:04:00.020-05:00

It was a privilege to be able to come out to pay tribute to our fighting men and women today. To be among our American warriors made me feel so many things.

Humbled by their sacrifice. Proud that I was born free in this great country. Overwhelmed by their spirit and sense of duty.

It is also nice to see veterans and their families again that I have photographed over the last 3 years of covering the parade.

The opening ceremony. Today marks the 90th anniversary of the founding of Veterans Day (1919-2009). The New York City Veterans Day parade is hosted by the United War Veterans Council and is the largest of its kind in America. The theme of today's parade is 'The Blessings of Liberty.'

This gentleman does re-enactments of the Battle of Fort Washington at Fort Tryon Park. According to history, losing this battle helped us win the Revolutionary War.

His leather strap is stamped with the word, 'Liberty.' He was quite convincing.

His ship. The 746.

FDNY Bagpipe warm-up before the parade. Always gets me right *here.* Must be the Irish in me.

One of the Tuskegee Airmen from World War 2!

A very elegant and patient Doberman named Thomson.

Helicopter gunners flying low overhead on Fifth Avenue!

The USS New York was made from the steel from the World Trade Center.

The Navajo Code Talkers!

A very heavy flag. And it was windy!

Here's the complete slide show of the parade !

Halloween in DC: The Rastabama

2009-10-28T15:43:00.007-04:00

While traveling in Washington, DC, I came across this today. I call it the 'Rastabama.'

Be afraid!

Muslim Day Parade 2009

2009-10-18T15:17:00.032-04:00

Before I start, I'd like to thank all of those who keep us safe.
Note: These policemen were not a part of the parade. They were stationed by the Hyatt Hotel next to Grand Central Terminal.

Now for the parade.

This year's Muslim Day Parade in New York City was even smaller than last year. There were noticeably much fewer marchers and no spectators lined along the barricades in place on Madison Avenue from 41st Street down to 23rd.

Thankfully absent from this year's march were the waving black flags of jihad. Maybe Mayor Bloomberg finally took notice. However, these headbands where popular.

This is the fun part. The parade always starts with a long prayer. This time they figured out which direction East toward Mecca really is. Last year they were pointed to East Side of Midtown, so they were were unknowingly praying to the U. N.!

I wonder who realized that all along they had been praying in the wrong direction!

VIDEO: This was also the first time there was music. Courtesy of the NYPD Marching Band. It was a surreal combination.

You can see how empty the streets were. Also absent were the protesters who normally turn out and even the ever-present Islamic Thinkers Society didn't show themselves. It was a much different parade than the previous years. Rather boring and uneventful, really.

Cries of "Allah hu akbar!" and "Takbir!" were heard over and over through the entire march. "Takbir" means expansion in Arabic. Expansion of Islam .

New York's finest!

This woman on the left was pretty much the only person who came out for the parade.

Even these young girls were chanting 'takbir!' again and again.

I think 'the One' in this case means Allah, not Obama.

Socialist Furries For Obama

2009-10-03T14:41:00.013-04:00

Just another normal Saturday stroll out in my neighborhood,
Village of the Damned, Obama County, Brooklyn.

I had noticed this European street vendor before, but this time I took a closer look. I think she is German or possibly French.

Fortunately this time I had my camera.

Furries. Healthcare. Socialism. Obama. Perfect together.

Just a normal Sunday out in the park.
Took these today on a walk. I couldn't resist.

September 11, 2009

2009-09-11T07:28:00.009-04:00

8 years ago today. I didn't go to the memorial at Ground Zero this year because I have to work. In the meantime I wanted to post these two emails below that I received a few years ago from a pen pal in Egypt regarding the attacks in 2001.
We had been out of touch for a long time when he sent them out of the blue. I haven't heard from him since. They are still very relevant today.
More thoughts on this to come.

Obama Street Art: Punk'd Edition

2009-08-19T07:14:00.006-04:00

This latest offering certainly takes a different tone from the predictable chorus of street art devotionals for President Present.

Particularly here in Willamsburg, Brooklyn, the seat of Obama County. I can't imagine that this will stay up for very long.

Obama Street Art Overdrive: Presenting the Obamasattva

2009-08-12T20:01:00.007-04:00

Sleek-trousered, and casually buff, Our Dear Leader is evoking the most fetishistic eruptions of street art imaginable.

Here is the latest.

Part superhero of industry and light.
Part comic book body builder.

The Obamasattva.

The Unawakened Being of Wisdom!

Random Shots New England: Welcome Home, Soldier!

2009-08-10T20:04:00.008-04:00

We drove through Berlin, Massachusetts on the way to Deer Isle / Stonington, Maine for vacation last week. I saw this sign on someone's lawn. I had to stop to take a picture.

This is the good soldier's family farm in Massachusetts. How beautiful! How happy and proud they must be to have their boy home.

One thing is for sure, once you leave New York City you see nothing but American flags everywhere. They flew from nearly every house and every business. Most main streets in towns were proudly lined with them from end to end.

Yet More Obama Street Art

2009-07-29T22:27:00.007-04:00

What's up with this sticker? I'm not sure if it was intended to be sarcastic or not. After all, this is Obama County, Brooklyn, the seat of the Statist menace.

Obey Obama? No! Personally, I'd rather not!

Protests Against the Islamic Regime in Iran, Times Square, New York City

2009-07-25T15:01:00.026-04:00

I went to the protests in Times Square today against the Islamic Regime in Iran and what I found was interesting and surprising.

There were two separate demonstrations taking place.

The larger protest organized by United For Iran would not allow another group who were carrying the Persian flag to join them, so they had to set up their demonstration across the street. Someone referred to them as 'Monarchists.'

Full report, photos and videos!

Bashing John McCain? While Obama the Undocumented dithered, McCain was the one who stood up for the Iranians who were bravely protesting the stolen elections in June.

Rupert Murdoch is on their hit list alongside Khameini and Ahmadinejad?

Attica? Abu Gharaib? Although it was cut out of my photograph, in the right corner of this protest sign there was a picture of Leonard Peltier. I was sensing a definite Leftist theme here...

Who will liberate Hillary Clinton? A divorce attorney maybe?

There were also a couple of Communists waving red flags on hand.
They were rejected by both groups. By the same token, the Communists were having none of the appeasement crowd either!

Rest in Peace, dear sweet Neda.
As well as all of the others brutally savaged or held captive by the Mullah's regime.

The large crowd was comprised of mostly young people who exuberantly chanted and embraced the slogans, green headbands and armbands with a kind of MTV-like energy. As well-intended as they might have been they were unaware that they were not demonstrating to finally remove the brutal and sadistic Islamic regime in Iran--but to simply change it.
I cannot confirm this, but I heard that United for Iran protest was likely financed by the Iranian government.

Here to follow are the other protesters who were not allowed to demonstrate alongside the United For Iran organization.
They proudly waved the Persian flag and the American flag together and called for an end to the Islamic regime. They were an older generation, many of which were Persians who remember Iran before the 1979 revolution. They were very serious and passionate. Some had never protested in their lives before. They came to join the main demonstration, but were not allowed to participate.

They had a very ominous banner shown in this video clip.

After a while, all parties marched over to the United Nations for the second part of the demonstration. I will update later with reports from fellow bloggers.

Here is my complete photo slide show of the day's events. Please click to see them all!

Updates to come, so please come back...

Election Protests in Iran / Updated!

2009-06-20T12:13:00.008-04:00

'Hope.'

Now where have we heard that before? Sort of ironic when you think of it with President Present and his late and tepid show of support for the Iranian people. The above image I found on eBay. I'm sure it will start appearing on t-shirts soon everywhere. I think there should be a hellvua lot of caution before marrying artsy cutesy revolutionary fervor with someone like Mousavi. He isn't exactly as pure as the driven snow, you know. This is a guy who was part of the bloody revolution in 1979.

UPDATE 6/23: Mousavi was likely behind the 1983 bombing in Beirut which killed 241 US Servicemen!

There is a demonstration in New York City planned for Friday, June 26 outside of the former Iraninian Embassy in Manhattan to show support for the Iranian people but it is being organzined by a group of Communists. I'll be covering those with a very critical eye. I am rooting for freedom before anything. As someone who documents political speech, I doff my hat to the brave bloggers, photographers, videographers in Iran. Well done! The world is watching breathlessly.

Check out Raye Man Kojast? Where is My Vote? for up-to-the-minute details!

Bob Dylan quoted in a sign on the streets of Tehran yesterday.

Congratulations to the Iranian people for their peaceful and exuberant demonstrations. I'd like to see them flush Khameini and his gang down the toilet.

VIDEO: Today in Tehran. The mood hasn't lightened yet and there are breaking reports of violence and crackdown.

General David Petraeus Honored at The Union League Club

2009-05-28T20:40:00.020-04:00

General David Petraeus was honored tonight by John Negroponte at The Union League Club in Manhattan. A contingent of orange jumpsuit-clad protesters had planned 'dramatic tableau' which consisted of a two-tier street theatre performance including an 'actual' waterboarding. The first took place at Grand Central Station and the second outside the event venue on East 37th Street. A Gathering of Eagles and others came out to support an American hero, David Petraeus. What we may have lacked in numbers was made up for with superior sign power.

We got a lot of 'thumbs up' and support from people going by. Regular people, cab drivers, local residents, couples on their way out. Some of the arriving guests attending the ceremony were taking pictures of us and smiling. Even the some members of the secret service seemed to be enjoying it.

Waterboarding anyone? Tom having fun!

Next of course I went over to the Code Pinkos and World Can't Wait protest pen. Who were thankfully encamped on the corner facing Park Avenue and not right in front of the place. Which is quite nice. Very classy.

They were loud and angry. Bullhorns, jumpsuits, selling pamphlets, Yelling, 'Lock'em up!, Lock'em up!'. 'Cheney!, Cheney!' 'Petraeus!, Petraeus!, prosecute!, prosecute!, 'Bush!, Bush!.. on and on..well, you get the picture.

Video!

VIDEO!

"Waterboarding" Demonstration VIDEO! Okay. So I missed the 'drownding' part but the last half of the performance is simply hilarious. Note the look on the business man's face toward the end!

Speaking of 'classy'...

Just a moment before these sweet-faced women were giving the finger to passersby and motorists.

"Obama, release the photos!"

VIDEO of General Petraeus' arrival!

New York City Tax Day Tea Party

2009-04-15T22:21:00.031-04:00

I went to the New York City Tax Day Tea Party downtown this evening. I knew that there was going to be a lot of people, but I never expected this many!

According to NYPD reports, there were 12,500 people! Go to Parcbench for details. Congratulations to Kellen Guida at Parcbench who organized it.

I have never seen so many people turn out for an event like this before here in New York City.

It was a gorgeous evening. Lower Manhattan is quite beautiful.

It was completely peaceful and orderly. The mood was excited and positive. The NYPD said it was the most orderly they had ever seen with no incidents. The NY Sanitation Department didn't have to come in an clean up afterward. We left the place as we found it.

As far as I could see there were no 'right wing' extremists. There were a tiny faction of Paulians and a smattering of the sadly prerequisite 'troofers' milling about afterward but none of the 'infiltrations' that were warned about. Just regular people.

A woman drew this sign in her truck with her husband on the way from Texas. There were so many great handmade signs that I wanted to take pictures of but it was so crowded, moving around freely as I normally do was impossible.

"I HOPE things CHANGE in 2012"
Yes. Me too!

As the evening went along the place was even more packed!
Photos taken from my vantage point do no do justice to the tremendous turnout.

Most had never been to a demonstration of any kind before. It was astonishing to see. There were Tea Party-goers lined up from corner to corner across the street and the crowds filled up two blocks long and around the corner.

Newt!

Brandon Brice of Hip Hop Republican

Here is the full slide show of my photos!

UPDATE! Great photos from the NYC Tea Party at Vigilant Squirrel Brigades!

And complete coverage at Parcbench!

UPDATE: Below is a video of Michael Johns' speech.

& Finally GREAT MUST-SEE video of highlights from Tom!

Citi Political Street Art

2009-04-06T20:32:00.009-04:00

I came across the latest installation of Economic Rage Street art tonight in Williamsburg. The seat of Obama County, Brooklyn. Seems like they are stepping up their ugliness in the process.

This makes last week's offering seem like a picnic. I guess they really mean it this time. Skulls straight out of Gray's Anatomy, targets, dripping paint and look here! Citi Bank is the new target of their wrath.

Where, oh where will they direct their rage next?

That 'Burn a Banker' slogan is apparently their favorite.

There is something evil about it in a Manson cult sort of way. They want their 'revolution' and they want it bloody. It is no surprise to me given the consistently violent behavior I've personally seen demonstrated over the years at leftist rallies and what the entire world has seen at the G20 summit recently.

Noticeably missing is a signature or attribution of any kind for this unholy art student fatwa.

AIG Political Street Art

2009-03-25T16:30:00.009-04:00

These posters are plastered all over my neighborhood way out here in Obama County, Brooklyn USA. The very epicenter of Obamaganda.

Apparently the AIG snafu isn't going over well with the Left wing artists. I'm not happy about the AIG bonus problem either, but what about the trillion dollar spending boondoggle that will probably triple by the time President Government gets through with us.

Striking is the absence of the Omnipresent One in this hopeless iconic mishmash. If this were happening under a McCain or Republican administration, the heads of the President and Cabinet would undoubtedly be depicted with fangs dripping with blood in posters all over the place. Like they did with Sarah Palin, whose only crime was to have the nerve to run for office. Effigies would be hung from front lawns and burned in the streets.

When the Left uses the American flag in political art or demonstrations it always seems to be in either an ironic way, upside down or desecrated. Kind of sad, really.

UPDATE! The below image is courtesy of Michael Travis who sent me his delicious take on this otherwise dry, dull example of Statist street art. I like it. He even got the fangs-dripping-with-blood part in!

A Night with Geert Wilders in New York City

2009-02-24T22:01:00.023-05:00

Tonight I had the tremendous privilege of attending a private screening of the film, Fitna and a dinner reception with Geert Wilders. It was quite an evening!

It was held at a residence in Manhattan. The small group of about twenty people [plus security] created an intimate and comfortable atmosphere. Mr. Wilders was very down-to-earth and approachable. He said a lot of good things about America and our freedoms.

He talked about many things, including the charges that he is facing back in the Netherlands as well as the extradition attempt to be tried in Jordan for 'insulting Islam'. This is a man who is undaunted. He carries a tremendous amount of spirit despite living with a death sentence on his head issued not only by al Quaida but any and every other lunatic out there with a sword to grind.

This is a very courageous man. Someone who believes in something greater than himself.

We watched Fitna, then there was a Q&A session.
I was lucky to be able to get a few comments and a couple of questions in. I asked him if he had any thoughts on what his long view was regarding the Islamization of Europe in the next fifty to one hundred years. He had a far away look for a moment then smiled and said that he wasn't a prophet. He added that he's an optimist. I asked him which of the countries in Europe were in the most advanced stages of Islamization. He paused for a second then together we listed them all and to him they all seemed to be about the same. "All of them." He said, "Only in Eastern Europe is there a difference."

Here are my short videos of the Q&A.

UPDATE: Here is the full 55-minute video of the Q&A

Obama Deification Syndrome

2009-01-19T11:46:00.017-05:00

The inauguration is just a day away and the deification of Barack the Unready has begun.

Here are some random shots from a stroll around my neighborhood today in Obama County, Brooklyn.

Pepsi has also contracted Obamessiah fever.

Big 'O' is watching you.

I saw this posted on the wall in my laundromat.
Will anything be left untouched by the hand of President Government?

Uhmbama appears to be George Washington on the cover of this week's issue of The New Yorker. He's already been Superman, and on license plates, so what next?

Israel and Gaza Demonstrations New York City

2008-12-30T20:09:00.025-05:00

Here are photos of to the demonstrations that took place outside of the Israeli Consulate on 42nd Street and 2nd Avenue tonight. There was a very nice turnout of Israel supporters.

There was also a pro-Palestine presence on the north side of the street. Unlike the pro-Israel folks, they were very loud and angry. Screaming, yelling, 'from the river to the sea!', whistles and bullhorns, it was heated. A couple of minor scuffles broke among the front lines of their throng. The situation felt somewhat explosive. This was not the side of the street I wanted to be on if things got out of hand. Thank God for the NYPD.

There's always a Mumia supporter.

I guess my main question is; Where the heck is Mayor Bloomberg on all this? All these masked creeps out in force in our town [the bullseye city] waving black flags of Islamic jihad on our streets for days--especially on the heels of the now infamous 'Death to All Juice' sign on public display right here on 5th Avenue--and he's building bike lanes and trying to reduce our salt intake.

Then there was this guy. He had a thing for me alright.

Like many others he was concealed behind a mask.
Full of hate and not hiding it.

Here are the photos.

UPDATE: Videos over at Vigilant Squirrel Brigade!

Veterans Day Parade New York City 2008

2008-11-11T18:57:00.023-05:00

In honor of our brave vets, I went to the Veterans Day Parade on Fifth Avenue today and took a few shots during my lunch break. I was happy to see that there were even more spectators this year than last year's parade, which was just as wonderful.

Saluting the 343 firemen who perished on September 11, 2001.

The lady in this wonderful car is the nurse who appeared in the famous photo taken at the end of World War II kissing the sailor in Times Square.

U.S. Presidential Election 2008

Congratulations to a man with a paper-thin resume and whose associations are so bad that he wouldn’t pass security clearance for even a low-level job with the State Department.

Muslim Day Parade 2008

2008-10-12T15:17:00.036-04:00

I went to the Muslim Day Parade today. It was much smaller in size and attendance than last year's. There were virtually no spectators lined along Madison Avenue for this event. Only the regular weekend tourists milling around on a beautiful day in midtown Manhattan.

Today, October 12 is the 8-year anniversary of the terrorist bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen. This guy brought his little black flag of Islamic jihad, again [like he did last year]. This same flag made another appearance later on down the road at the moronic Islamic Thinkers outpost a few blocks away. We'll get to that later on.

Here he is waving his jihad terrorist flag at the parade itself. I can't believe that the taxpayers of New York City are footing the bill for this.

What was this curious float about I wondered... Turned out to be Medina--the world's most expensive gas station.

Yep, the Saudis. Just a regular bunch of Yankee Doodle Dandies, alright.

Then there were some non-Obama voters.

The protest signs ruffle quite a few feathers among the parade-goers. As they passed heated exchanges flew. Cries of 'no Sharia in America' were met with 'takbir!' [which means 'expansion'] and 'allahu akbar!' The video.

This guy who is a member of the Islamic Thinkers Society [a radical group of nincompoops bordering on being seriously dangerous] called a female passerby who got into the fray a whore. So she tossed her cup of coffee at him. There was a bit of a scuffle and the cops moved in quickly to control the situation. Here's the video.

Dan read the names of the American servicemen killed by al Qaeda on the USS Cole 8 years ago today.

And what Muslim Day Parade would be complete without the stylings of the festering Islamic Thinkers Society? Just drink it in, folks.

The aforementioned black flag of Islamic jihad.

If you want to see something truly amazing, watch this video to see the Islamic Thinkers getting kicked out of the post-parade street fair and citing the Constitution for their right to free speech!

Thanks to Tom for the excellent video.
More must-see video links below.

I also want to add that as much as the marchers objected to the foreign policy views of the conservative protesters, they had NO objection to the Islamic Thinkers signs--save for one lone man who confronted them.

Then there were these two signs pictured below that were on display at one of the booths at the street fair on 23rd Street and Madison where the parade ended.

Here is my entire slide show of today's events.

UPDATE 10/13: Excellent video posted at the Gathering of Eagles blog. [scroll down]

UPDATE: Here is my report on the Muslim Day Parade 2009!

Obama as Superman?

2008-09-29T18:55:00.008-04:00

Okay, now I've seen everything.

I came across these newly wheat pasted Obama worship/fetish pieces in my neighborhood tonight.

Unbridled Obamessiah porn.
What next?

Ahmadinejad Protest New York City

2008-09-25T18:51:00.016-04:00

This was my personal favorite protest sign tonight.

Very clever. It works so well!

I went to the protest against Ahmadinejad organized by 9/25Rally in front of the Hyatt Hotel on 42nd Street this evening. There was a nice turnout. Among them were these organizations who helped put together this important rally:
