Turks Set Cars Alight in Brussels
Tonight (Wednesday evening) heavy rioting erupted in Turkish quarters of Brussels, the capital of Belgium. Buses and trams were attacked. Several cars were torched and shops destroyed. Police forces were unable to restore law and order in the boroughs of Sint-Joost-ten-Node and Schaarbeek where since last Sunday the animosity among Turks is running high. Turkish flags are omnipresent. In some streets the Turkish crescent and star adorns almost every house.- Thursday, October 25, 2007
Officials: Arson Behind Santiago Fire
CA Fires Exclusive--Fed Source: Look to al Qaeda and the Islamic enemy in the U.S.
Law enforcement officials will agree that arson is the most difficult of crimes to "prove," especially in terms of identifying the perpetrator(s). The fires this week in Southern California have cost more than $1 billion in lost property and displaced more than a million people, the greatest evacuation California has ever seen. The origin of the massive Santiago Canyon Fire alone has caused an estimated $10 million in damage, burning about 20,000 acres so far and damaging or destroying about 30 structures. That cause of that fire has been officially declared arson, according to federal officials, who identified two separate "points of origin." Currently, the FBI is involved in the primary investigation of the fires, including forensic collection and analysis and scene management.
On every October 24 since he's been President, George W. Bush has issued a proclamation recognizing "United Nations Day." Typically, Bush calls upon the people of the United States "to observe this day with appropriate programs and activities." The appropriate thing to do would be to acknowledge the basic truth that communist spy and State Department official Alger Hiss laid the groundwork for the U.N. and became its first acting secretary-general, causing it to be dubbed "the house that Hiss built." Hiss also advised President Franklin Roosevelt at the Yalta conference, which defined post-World War II Europe and betrayed Eastern European nations to Soviet control.
Rumours have been rife in the London Ontario area that a cougar was on the loose. People who fleetingly spotted the cougar were not always believed.
At one stage, rumors of cougars--not just a single one--were so rife that people started to give credence to the urban legend that the government had set the cougars loose to cut down on a burgeoning deer population.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper should send a map of Canada to Foreign Minister Fran-Walter Steinmeier of Germany--tout suite, as they say in La Belle Province.
Predicting a new Cold War, Steinmeier claims that climate change is a growing threat to world peace and has now led to "rival territorial claims in the Arctic."
The German foreign minister has weighed in with concern that a Russian flag was planted on the seabed at the North Pole in August, staking a claim to the area, which may be rich in energy resources.

"Nowhere else is Holocaust history as distorted and misrepresented as it is about Poland."
That's one of the reasons Michael Preisler a Polish Catholic who survived more than three years in Auschwitz, founded the Holocaust Documentation Committee of the Polish American Congress and is now its co-chair.
