Assassination e-mail targets your wallet July 17, 2008 - 6:41am

WASHINGTON - Imagine opening an e-mail and reading that the sender wants to kill you.
The assassination e-mail is one of the newest varieties of phishing scams, scams that try to get you to part with your hard-earned cash.
"It's almost kind of like a modern-day kidnapping," says Doug Gansler, Maryland's attorney general.
"They'll send out literally hundreds of thousands of these. If they get a few people to bite, they get a lot of money.
"It clearly works or they wouldn't continue to do it."
Gansler says most of the e-mails originate out of the country, with the scammers using stolen e-mail lists.
Those who do the phishing are "incredibly difficult to catch."
"The spammers are always ahead of law enforcement and generally one step ahead of the Internet providers," Gansler says.
Gansler's advice is simple: Don't send money to people you don't know.
"if it's not a contact you initiated, you the consumer, you the person on the computer, you ought not be sending them money."
Gansler also says Internet providers need to do a better job of filtering spam e-mails.

I love the hypocritical world we live in and the wonderful press we have. It makes me so proud. Now before i start let me say i in no way endorse what Don Imus said about a year ago about the Rutgers female basketball players (www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF9BjB7Bzr0), but he got fired and lost his employment because of it. He was castigated, humiliated and belittled. He apologized to everyone from the girls to the world. Don't get me wrong, he should have been fired for that and some of the other stupid stuff he said. but what gives? Jesse Jackson, a few years ago makes a comment and calls New York city "Hyme town" referring to the jews. Now he has called Obama the "N" word. He gets off with an apology then it will get swept under the rug, untill he does it again. Worst of all Al Sharpton was the one who lead the crusade against Imus, and now he won't even condemn Jackson what a hypocrite.


Fox: Jackson used N-word in crude off-air remarks July 17, 2008 - 5:00am

In this Wednesday, July 9, 2008 file photo, Rev. Jesse Jackson speaks during a news conference in Chicago. The Rev. Jesse Jackson used the N-word during a break in a TV interview where he criticized presidential candidate Barack Obama, Fox News confirmed Wednesday, July 16, 2008.

CHICAGO (AP) - The Rev. Jesse Jackson used the N-word during a break in a TV interview where he criticized presidential candidate Barack Obama, Fox News confirmed Wednesday.
The longtime civil rights leader already came under fire this month for crude off-air comments he made against Obama in what he thought was a private conversation during a taping of a "Fox & Friends" news show.
In additional comments from that same conversation, first reported by TVNewser, Jackson is reported to have said Obama was "talking down to black people," and referred to blacks with the N-word when he said Obama was telling them "how to behave."
Though a Fox spokesman confirmed the TVNewer's account to The Associated Press, the network declined to release the full transcript of the July 6 show and did not air the comments.
Jackson _ who is traveling in Spain _ apologized in a statement Wednesday for "hurtful words" but didn't offer specifics.
"I am deeply saddened and distressed by the pain and sorrow that I have caused as a result of my hurtful words. I apologize again to Senator Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, their children as well as to the American public," Jackson said in a written statement. "There really is no justification for my comments and I hope that the Obama family and the American public will forgive me. I also pray that we, as a nation, can move on to address the real issues that affect the American people."
A spokeswoman for Jackson's civil rights organization, Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, said she could not confirm that Jackson used the slur.
Jackson has called on the entertainment industry, including rappers, actors and studios, to stop using the N-Word. He also urged the public to boycott purchasing DVD copies of the TV sitcom "Seinfeld" after co-star Michael Richards was taped using the word during a rant at a Los Angeles comedy club in 2006.
The Rev. Al Sharpton, who has joined Jackson in opposition of the word, said Wednesday he wanted to hear the comments for himself and declined to discuss Jackson specifically.
"I am against the use of the N-word by anyone and I think we must be consistent," he told The Associated Press. "We must not use the word."

Ok her is my look to the future article for today's blog entry. This will give you and interesting look at what this Country will look like if we let Sharia Law rule here. Don't be mistaken over the last few years you have seen unrest in Europe over this issue where when an area becomes predominately Muslim, they want to be governed by Sharia Law. It is happening in England (www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1535478/Sharia-law-is-spreading-as-authority-wanes.html) and France (politicalbeachgirl.blogspot.com/2006/10/teacher-violates-frances-sharia-law.html) and other countries now, about a year ago in Canada this came up also (news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4215182.stm www.cbc.ca/news/background/islam/shariah-law.html). We recently had a cabbie that killed his daughter an "honor killing" (www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/011008dnmetteenskilled.7ba7cc6.html)

and now the latest outrage?

"Kidnapped Christian girls, judge ratifies marriage and conversion" By Qaiser Felix ("AsiaNews", July 16, 2008) Islamabad, Pakistan - District judge Mian Muhammad Naeem, of the section of Muzaffargarh, has ruled that the two Christian sisters "have converted in a legitimate manner to Islam", and for this reason they cannot be "restored to their family of origin". Setting aside the request from their father to regain custody of his daughters, the judge also admitted the "validity" of the marriage of the girls to two Muslims. Saba Younas, aged 13, and her sister Anila were kidnapped last June 26 in the village of Chowk Munda, in the province of Punjab, where they had gone to visit their uncle, Khalid Raheel. This is the same uncle who in recent days reported their kidnapping, asking for help from news organisations and human rights groups. According to Raheel's account, a Muslim fruit vendor named Muhammad Arif Bajwa kidnapped the girls, and then handed them over to a friend, Falak Sher Gill, who then organised the marriage between his own son and the older of the Christian sisters, Saba. In court, moreover, father and son both stressed the "complete willingness of the girl to contract marriage". The girls' uncle does not conceal his preoccupation, and denounces to AsiaNews that the Muslims involved in the kidnapping are acting as a "gang", recruiting the girls in order to "make them work in a bordello". This alarm has also been heard by the Catholic commission for justice and peace (NCJP) in the country, which confirms the words of Khalid Raheel: the kidnappers are believed to be human traffickers linked to prostitution, known to the police and under the protection of some local politicians. "For these unscrupulous people", charges Naeem Asghar, local coordinator of the NCJP, marriage is a pretence in order to control the girls, run their lives and exploit them for their own business purposes". The Catholic community continues to uphold the cause of Saba and Anila, and promises that the family will not be left to itself. Expressing the hope that the girls will be brought back home, the coordinator of the NCJP emphasises that "an appeal will soon be presented to the high court of Multan, to contest the decision of the district judge" and have the girls "restored to their parents".
