On June 10, 2010, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will co-host a workshop to address emergency alerting.  This workshop – 21st Century Emergency Alerting – will bring together experts from Federal and state government agencies, the broadcast, cable, wireless and wireline industries, the disability community and others to discuss how we as a Nation can leverage multiple technologies to provide timely and accurate emergency alerts to the public.  The workshop will also present an opportunity for the public to learn about the progress that has been made to enhance the Emergency Alert System (EAS), develop and deploy the Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS) and develop and deploy the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS).

Audio/Video coverage of the meeting will be broadcast live with open captioning over the Internet from the FCC’s web page at www.fcc.gov/live. The FCC’s web cast is free to the public and does not require pre-registration.

You can read the full announcement of this event on the FCC’s blog at http://reboot.fcc.gov/blog?entryId=464914.

“As a teenager, Jamie Christopher would tap instant messages to make plans with friends, and later she became a Facebook regular.

Now a freckle-faced 25, a first lieutenant and an intelligence officer here, she is using her social networking skills to hunt insurgents and save American lives in Afghanistan”

Video still from Wikileaks.org, taken from video allegedly leaked in April by Army Spec. Bradley Manning

“Army Spc. Bradley Manning has been arrested in connection with the April release of classified footage of a US helicopter mistakenly shooting Iraqi civilians to website WikiLeaks.

The US Army has arrested Specialist Bradley Manning, a soldier deployed in Iraq with the 10th Mountain Division, on charges that he allegedly released classified information. The military is looking at a possible connection between Spc. Manning and WikiLeaks, an online whistleblower organization which in April published a graphic video of an Apache gunship mistakenly shooting civilians.

Wired.com reported that he was caught after he boasted to a former computer hacker of leaking hundreds of thousands of classified documents and the combat video footage, including the gun camera videos of the deadly 2007 Baghdad incident subsequently posted on WikiLeaks.”

Definition of Islamists, Islamo-fascism: any form of civil or political Islam.

Islam in any political sense isn’t compatible with the US Constitution or modern civilized society.

Muslims should be welcome to keep it in their homes and mosques, but it must be utterly rejected in any civil or legal sphere. That means taking a rational inquiry into Muslim culture. Asking these questions are not racism or Islamophobia, but a right under the Constitution, the only basis of law in America.

Jews for example, have never demanded special treatment in public schools. We have never banned pork nor do we install special religious anything, including baths, etc for them. So who are Muslims to demand special treatment?

It isn’t uncommon to trash each others religion in the West, it’s part of free speech even if distasteful or just plain ignorant. But we have no group that threatens violence or murder in the streets as some Muslims do. They demand we respect Islam, and I agree.

They can be treated like everyone else and expected to act like Americans, British, etc.

It’s time to treat Muslims as adults and hold them directly responsible for their actions with no excuses, and to reassert our traditional values and culture as well. That means no form of Muslim civil or family courts are to be tolerated. There will be the strict enforcement of laws against any Muslim, Hindu, or even Christian custom that violates American civil law.”

Is there a specific, organized plan that is being implemented by Islamists to take control of the U.S.?
Dr. Anis Shorrosh believes there is.

In this article he spells out specific steps that are being taken and strategies being followed to steadily gain control in the US without firing a shot.

We will use your democracy to destroy your democracy. – Muslim cleric Bakri Mohammed

Look around you, watch carefully, pay attention to TV shows and movies that Hollywood is producing, read what Dr.  Shorrosh says is already happening in the US.

Is Dr.  Shorrosh’s warning nothing more than crazy paranoia? So what’s “the plan”? Read it here:

“Three months ago, Corporal Amaya was one of 40 female Marines training at Camp Pendleton, Calif., in an edgy experiment: sending full-time “female engagement teams” to accompany all-male foot patrols in Helmand Province in southern Afghanistan to win over the Afghan women who are culturally off limits to American men. ”

“…combat veterans … defended this country and its constitution only to have one of the most important constitutional rights stripped away without any formal adjudication.

Gun prohibitionists – who are always eager to find one more loophole through which they can reach out and grab someone’s firearm civil rights – like it this way. That is why they are now opposing S. 669, the Veterans’ Second Amendment Protection Act, sponsored by Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC).

I spoke with Burr recently at a function in North Carolina, and he seems like a stand-up guy who is standing up right now for war veterans who have earned the right – in my humble opinion – to own any damn gun they want, no questions asked. The legislation is supported by the National Rifle Association.”  – Dave Workman, Seattle Gun Rights Examiner

“The older man, a Korean War veteran, was robbed at gunpoint in his house last year of $150 by three thugs. In reaction, he bought a handgun and, according to his son, vowed he would not be a victim again.

“I’d have done the same thing. They say we’ve got to give up our guns, but that’s crazy.”—Audrey Williams, neighbor

In the aftermath, gun prohibitionist groups are silent. It appears clear the older man will not be charged for violating the city’s handgun ban, thanks to a 2004 Illinois statute that protects homeowners who use handguns to defend themselves, even if having the gun violates a local handgun ban ordinance.

Why does this case sound the death knell for the gun control movement? Public sympathy is decidedly supportive of the older man. Demagogues like Daley, and other anti-gunners … better pay attention.

Sadly, it takes incidents such as this to illustrate to the public why onerous gun control measures that disarm law-abiding citizens but not criminals are simply wrong. People are beginning to increasingly understand this.”
