Yitzhak Rabin's assasin get's relief

Peace Now: Revoke decision allowing Yigal Amir's conjugal visit

Peace Now Secretary-General Yariv Oppenheimer requested of Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter to revoke the decision to allow Former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's murderer Yigal Amir to have a conjugal visit from his wife.

Oppenheimer said that in light of Amir's past transgressions during his prison term, he should not be granted any reliefs.

BB: Umm.... The last sentence the word 'reliefs' not sure its the right word.

As for any conjugal visitations?? Why is this man getting anything more than 3 meals a day!

This man, as all Murderers should be given the 'conjugal rights' of their victims.

Phar Lap was Poisioned.

THE death of Phar Lap – Australia's greatest sporting mystery – has finally been solved.

Phar Lap triumphed during the Great Depression of the early 1930s, when a hero was most needed by the people of Australia. He conquered the local racing scene—36 wins from his last 41 starts—and then won North America's richest race, the Agua Caliente Handicap, in 1932. A fortnight later he went to the great equine heaven in the skies, struck down by a mystery illness that many suspected was the work of gangsters.

The Australia Daily Telegraph has revealed that secret scientific tests using breakthrough technology have uncovered evidence the legendary racehorse was poisoned with arsenic just hours before his 1932 death in the US.

The startling revelation adds credence to the theory Phar Lap was killed on the orders of US gangsters, who feared the Melbourne Cup-winning champion would inflict big losses on their illegal bookmakers.

Scientists used a US synchrotron, or particle accelerator, to unlock the 74-year-old riddle of Phar Lap's mysterious death.

The proof lies in Phar Lap's hair.

A scientific report obtained exclusively by The Daily Telegraph shows a large dose of arsenic was ingested by Big Red about 35 hours before his agonising death in California on April 5, 1932.

"The arsenic in the hair structure is consistent with . . . a single large dose of arsenic," the report says.

The exact cause of his death was never proved, with suggestions ranging from the foul play theory to acute bacterial gastroenteritis.

But evidence of an arsenic overdose has been uncovered by scientists bombarding a strand of Phar Lap's hair with a beam of intense light.
"We've made observations which could be explained by poison," Australian Synchrotron Research Program scientist Dr Ivan Kempson told The Daily Telegraph. "We can't explain it by any other way."
Dr Kempson and Museum Victoria's Dermott Henry made the Phar Lap breakthrough by searching for minute traces of chemicals in the structure of Phar Lap's hair.
Hair incorporates blood products and these can provide a timeline of exposure to toxins that can be unlocked using synchrotron technology.
In 2000 the technology was used on six strands from a lock of Beethoven's hair to identify the cause of his illness and death – lead poisoning.
The latest CSI-style hunt to find what killed Phar Lap began in February last year when a sliver of hide was cut from his preserved skin.
The 2mm square sample was cut from beneath the mane. A whole hair was then removed from the sample hide and analysed at a synchrotron outside Chicago in June last year and June this year.
The tests revealed a high concentration of arsenic.
"The arsenic in the hair structure is consistent with . . . a single large dose of arsenic between one to two days prior to death," the scientists' report says.
The arsenic stretched about 900 microns along the hair from the root bulb, with a potentially deadly concentration found between 450 microns and 500 microns.
Assuming a growth rate of 1cm a month, the scientists estimated Phar Lap was poisoned 35 hours before he died. Tests on two more hairs produced the same results.
The behaviour of arsenic in the hair strand was also consistent with results from a test on the hair of a pig that had been poisoned with arsenic.
There were, however, some anomalies. Strong traces of arsenic found on the root bulb of Phar Lap's hair and hide produced a different chemical signature and were also associated with traces of lead.
Dr Kempson said this suggested it was a different arsenic that may have come from lead arsenate used to preserve Phar Lap's hide.

Phar Lap as he stands in the Victorian Museum

They hope to find another horse hide preserved around the same time to test this theory.
Arsenic was also detected on two hairs taken from Phar Lap by his owner before his death.
But only the post-mortem samples had traces of arsenic inside the hair structure that were consistent with the behaviour of ingested arsenic in the hair of the poisoned pig.
"You will never get a 100 per cent definite answer that you're confident there is no doubt about it," Dr Kempson said. "But we can't explain it by any other way than the scenario of poisoning."
On the morning of Phar Lap's death, trainer Harry Telford found him in severe pain and with a high temperature. A few hours later Phar Lap collapsed and died, blood spurting from his lungs as he haemorrhaged to death.
A necropsy showed his stomach and intestines were inflamed.
There have been many theories on what caused the giant five-year-old's agonising death, including accidental poisoning from lead insecticide.
But many, including Tommy Woodcock ,Phar Lap's devoted strapper ; remained adamant the champ had been murdered by US racing and crime interests who feared an unbeatable outsider.
But with no evidence, poisoning could not be proved.
A stomach condition caused by rotten or bad feed was widely accepted as the most probable cause.
In 2000, equine specialists reviewed two necropsies and concluded Phar Lap had probably died of Duedentis-Proximal jejunitis, an acute bacterial gastroenteritis formally identified in the 1980s.

BB:

Most Children who grow up in the State of Victoria, Australia are taken on an excursion to see Phar Lap at the Victoria Museum. Phar lap is still a stongly emotive subject, 74 year later. Most Australians feel he should have never been taken to the USA, this is where he was poisoned. It was thought he was poisioned by Gangsters worried about losing too much money on him racing.

Before his untimely death Phar Lap [Big Red] won 36 wins from his last 41 starts—and then won North America's richest race, the Agua Caliente Handicap, in 1932.

It was a time of serious depression, Phar Lap provided an escape from the drudgery of the time for working class Australian's, the death of Phar Lap shocked the Nation.

Bali bombing militants to be freed

In a decision likely to anger Australia and other countries that lost citizens in the 2002 Bali bombings, two of the Islamic militants jailed for the attack will be freed tomorrow to mark the end of the Islamic fasting month.

Ten other militants jailed for the bombings that killed 202 people, including 88 Australians, will have their sentences reduced, officials said.

Indonesia traditionally marks national holidays by cutting prison terms for inmates who exhibit good behaviour - usually by several months.

But the decision is likely to anger countries that lost citizens in the 2002 attacks on two crowded nightclubs.

Sirojul Munir, sentenced to five years for hiding one of the masterminds of the suicide bombings, will leave the jail in East Kalimantan's capital of Balikpapan tomorrow, said Edi, a prison official who uses a single name.

The other militant, whose identity was not released, will be released from the main prison on Bali island, said Anak Agung Mayun Mataram, the justice ministry's head of Bali's prison division.

2002 Bali survivor Peter Hughes, 46, said the news would come as a slap in the face for the families of some victims.

"For me it's probably not going to affect me that much, it probably more so effects the people that lost people," Hughes said.

"I think they are the ones that bear the brunt of it all, which is pretty sad.

"I think the thing is the Indonesian government, by doing this, they don't understand that it becomes a slap in the face for us and it's actually a reward for their (terrorists') cause, which is pathetic.

"You can't reward terrorists and that's what they are doing."

Hughes said he'd been able to move on since the blasts, and did not think the planned execution of three of the bombers would bring him any further sense of closure.

"I think enough people have died out of Bali," he said.

"I think these guys just need to be put in a hole somewhere and not be heard of again, that would be the best way of handling it.

"I think killing them is not going to make any difference to me, it might bring a little bit of closure for some people and a reward for killing their sons or daughters.

"But I think most of us ... (would just prefer) not to hear about them anymore, just put them in a hole somewhere and let them suffer a bit."

A total of 33 people were jailed over the 2002 Bali blasts, the most deadly in a string of attacks in Indonesia blamed on the al-Qaeda-linked militant group Jemaah Islamiah.

Three - Amrozi, Ali Gufron and Imam Samudra - are scheduled to be executed and three others are serving life sentences.

Under Indonesian law, they are not eligible for prison sentence reductions.

Gee blogger seems to be having a lot of problems today!

I've had a joyous day to day. Fist there was no electricity. then, an email was sent 24 hours late advising me not to turn my satellite modem off as there was a configuration problem, and those that turn their satellite modems will not have Internet. Then after trying all day to fix the problem, of not having Internet, after the power had gone of, I decided that I had to program my router.

As my visit to my ISP via a very slow 14k phone line showed that there was no advice of an outage. So I reprogrammed my router, then finally received my 24 hour late email telling me to NOT to turn of my Satellite modem which I never do, except for today the power went off....which means I've spent the greater part of today programing my router for..nothing. Now I'm finally, yes finally I'm back on and BLOGGER now doesn't seem to want to play fair.
It seems to be having server problems. Has any one received this blogger Problem message? Because it kind of represents how I feel!

Today is Qods Day. A day when all Muslims are instructed to pretend that Jerusalem is so much more than it ever was to them.

How much more is well elucidated by Elder of Ziyon Here and Here .

Now never let me be accused of suspecting acts of Insincerity from the enemies of Israel, because I truly believe it is actually the opposite. Israel's enemies are more known for their Acting of Sincerity.

As Homer once wrote 'Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another.' [ref]

Apparently Iran's "Religous Webblogs Office" wants all blogs to commemorate this day.

Special request to Muslim Bloggers from ISNA

[Text:]
Each weblog is a cry against the Zionist regime on Qods day

ISNA - Tehran
Service: View to Weblogs

TEHRAN, Oct.18 (ISNA)-Iran's religious weblogs development office has invited all webloggers to take part in the Qods day rally.

"The webloggers have always shown their conscience and awareness in the matters of Palestine in the virtual world, so it is also their duty to take part with their country men along with other Muslims all over the world in the rally on Qods day," declared the statement by the religious Weblogs office.

"Each Weblog is a cry against the oppressive and tyrannical Zionist regime," concluded the statement.

Which is quite a paradox. In the one hand you have the Mullahs doing everything they can to stifle 'on line' opinion and dissent, then the very same Mullahs are now recognising the power of numbers in the blogging community.

I've blogged about this before, CyberJihad.
In essence in 2000 Israel had 1,270,00 million Internet connections,
Iran:250,000 about 5:1

In 2005 Israel had Internet 3,200,000 connections and Iran had Internet connections 7,500,000 about 3:7 which is a phenomal turn around.

It seems the Mullahs have now realised just how powerful this 'borg' collective can be.

What it really comes down to is there are roughly 14.5 Million Jews [2005: JVL] on this planet, and there are 1.8 billion Muslims [2006: Islamicpopulation.com] on this planet screaming the Jews did it!

Even allowing for total saturation of Internet connections for Jewish Households, it doesn't bode well in comparison, we got a good insight into Muslim media manipulation during the Israel - Hezbollah war.

So despite the creation of Qods day, despite the creation of the Jerusalem myth in Muslims hearts, which ties in well with the recent denial of any Jewish History at the Kotel by Muslims. I too celebrate the beauty and essence of what is Jerusalem.

You see, Muslims would cherish any piece of land that 'others' desired, that is the essence of the 'conquest religion', but despite there 1.8 billion adherents there's one thing they underestimate. What it means to be a Jew.

So when we say next year in Jerusalem, let us not forget exactly what and where we are thinking of.
