The World Put on Hold...

The World Put on Hold...: "

In the midst of of all the worlds chaos, I have a crisis of my own. I am sure my regular readers have noticed I have not been as active as usual. My daughter and best friend is in the hospital and may need surgery now. I am not at my computer as much as I would like to be in these historic and scary times. As many of you know I suffer from Multiple Sclerosis (MS), but she is the reason I post so much information about HIV/Aids. Her current situation seems to be unrelated but you never know with a disease like this.

I want to encourage all my readers to please keep up with journalists and commentators like Alex Jones at infowars.com and Glenn Beck at glennbeck.com and theblaze.com because the world is changing and it is moving fast. New World Order is in the news everyday now and if you are a fan of Jack Van Impe you will see the Apocalypse around every corner. Please stay safe and be patient with me as I will be slow to post over the coming days and maybe weeks.

For thoses of you who enjoy the contests and reviews on this blog, be assured there are many more pending and these posts will be given the utmost priority.

The Muslim Brotherhood’s plans for North America

The Muslim Brotherhood’s plans for North America: "

Click here to read “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America”

During the course of the HLF trial, many incriminating documents were
entered into evidence. Perhaps the most significant of these was “An
Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in
North America,” by the Muslim Brotherhood operative Mohamed Akram.

Written sometime in 1987 but not formally published until May 22,
1991, this 18-page document listed the Brotherhood’s 29 likeminded
“organizations of our friends” that shared the common goal of
dismantling American institutions and turning the U.S. into a Muslim
nation. These “friends” were identified by Akram and the Brotherhood as
groups that could help convince Muslims “that their work in America is a
kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western
civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their
hands … so that … God’s religion [Islam] is made victorious over all
other religions.”

WikiLeaks: Al-Qaeda Could Unleash ‘Nuclear 9/11′

WikiLeaks: Al-Qaeda Could Unleash ‘Nuclear 9/11′: "

According to reports from the UK’s Daily Telegraph and Vancouver Sun,
a number of leaked diplomatic cables warn that the terrorist group
Al-Qaeda may be on the verge of producing nuclear weapons after securing
radioactive materials and rogue scientists to help carry out their
deadly mission.

From documents released by WikiLeaks, a “leading atomic regulator”
has warned that “the world stands on the brink of a ‘nuclear 9/11,’” the
Sun reports.

Security briefings suggest that jihadi groups are also
close to producing “workable and efficient” biological and chemical
weapons that could kill thousands if unleashed in attacks on the West.
Thousands of classified American cables obtained by the WikiLeaks
website and passed to The Daily Telegraph detail the international
struggle to stop the spread of weapons-grade nuclear, chemical and
biological material around the globe.

At a Nato meeting in January 2009, security chiefs
briefed member states that al-Qaida was plotting a program of “dirty
radioactive IEDs”, makeshift nuclear roadside bombs that could be used
against British troops in Afghanistan. As well as causing a large
explosion, a “dirty bomb” attack would contaminate the area for many
years.

The briefings also state that al-Qaida documents found in
Afghanistan in 2007 revealed that “greater advances” had been made in
bioterrorism than was previously realized. An Indian national security
adviser told American security personnel in June 2008 that terrorists
had made a “manifest attempt to get fissile material” and “have the
technical competence to manufacture an explosive device beyond a mere
dirty bomb”

Alerts about the smuggling of nuclear material, sent to
Washington from foreign U.S. embassies, document how criminal and
terrorist gangs were trafficking large amounts of highly radioactive
material across Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The alerts explain
how customs guards at remote border crossings used radiation alarms to
identify and seize cargoes of uranium and plutonium.

The cables also suggest that radioactive materials stolen from
Chernobyl have been offered for sale on the black market in Lisbon,
Portugal.

Tomihiro Taniguchi, the deputy director general of the
IAEA, has privately warned America that the world faces the threat of a
“nuclear 9/11″ if stores of uranium and plutonium were not secured
against terrorists.

But diplomats visiting the IAEA’s Austrian headquarters
in April 2008 said that there was “no way to provide perimeter security”
to its own laboratory because it has windows that leave it vulnerable
to break-ins.

Senior British defence officials have raised “deep
concerns” that a rogue scientist in the Pakistani nuclear program “could
gradually smuggle enough material out to make a weapon”, according to a
document detailing official talks in London in February 2009.

In addition, the cables also warn of deadly biological pathogens
located in Pakistan that may be vulnerable to falling into the wrong
hands. Some of these potential weaponized strains include anthrax and
avian flu which could easily be dispersed in crowded areas.

Security of the same types of biological weapons located in the
United States and Russia may also be susceptible to security breaches.
According to the leaked cables, “a growing chorus of voices” at the
World Health Assembly have warned of the risk.

• The National Association for Change (NAC) is a broad
  opposition coalition pushing for pro-democracy constitutional reforms
  created by former International Atomic Energy Association head Mohammed
  ElBaradei and a close group of supporters.


• The association is the product of an initial meeting in February 2010 at ElBaradei’s home of approximately 30 politicians, intellectuals, activists, and other prominent figures in Egypt who identified with the renewed call for democratic reforms that the return of ElBaradei has prompted


• The Muslim Brotherhood’s endorsement of the National
  Association for Change’s signature campaign has given the initiative a
  significant boost and engendered hopes for cooperation between
  opposition forces with different ideological orientations in
  the 2010 elections. It has also alienated some NAC sympathizers who are
  strongly opposed to the Brotherhood.

El Baradei Quote

• “The Muslim Brotherhood is a conservative religious group, like Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem and Evangelists in the United States.
  They are a minority in Egypt and do not have power to undermine our
  constitution, which guarantees a civil government to lead the country”,
  announced ElBaradei

El Baradei SOT (CNN, Jan 30)

• “The Muslim Brotherhood has nothing to do with the Iranian model, has nothing to do with extremism…They are part of the Egyptian society, as much as the Marxist party here. I think this myth that has been perpetuated and sold by the regime has no – has no iota of reality

Rosie O’Donnell SOT (“The View,” ABC, 2006)

• Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam (applause) in a country like America

• The leaflet includes aerial photographs with approach routes marked and diagrams on crowd formations. Suggested “positive” slogans include “long live Egypt” and “down with the corrupt regime“. There are no signs of slogans reflecting the agenda of the powerful Muslim Brotherhood. It advises demonstrators to wear clothing such as hooded jackets, running shoes, goggles and scarves to protect against teargas, and to carry dustbin lids – to ward off baton blows and rubber bullets – first aid kits, and roses to symbolise their peaceful intentions.


• Diagrams show how to defend against riot police and push in waves to
  break through their ranks. “The most important thing is to protect each
  other,” the leaflet says.

• Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans, accompanied by the former Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn – organized an inside-outside game of political theater to bring pressure on the Mubarak regime to allow the aid for Hamas to be delivered though Egyptian checkpoints.


• Evans and Code Pink lobbied Mubarak’s wife for assistance, as well as the U.S. embassy in Cairo. On the other hand, the group led hundreds of Western leftists in challenging the Egyptian government with boisterous street protests.


• Code Pink was not shy about its support for Hamas. The group bragged that Hamas terrorists guaranteed their safety in Gaza. <http://biggovernment.com/taylorking/2010/01/12/hamas-terrorists-guaranteed-code-pinks-safety-in-gaza/>


• Code Pink had also allied itself with the Muslim Brotherhood. Code
  Pink took out banner ads on the Muslim Brotherhood’s official English
  language Web site asking jihadis to “join us in cleansing our country” <http://biggovernment.com/taylorking/2010/01/11/obama-ally-code-pink-invites-muslim-brotherhood-join-us-in-cleansing-our-country/> of so-called war criminals which included former President George W. Bush and wife Laura.


• Ayers & Dohrn participated in the Weather Underground’s 1969
  “Days of Rage” in Chicago. Last Friday’s rioting in Egypt was also
  called “Days of Rage.” It is telling that the protests Friday in Egypt
  were dubbed by the Muslim Brotherhood, a “day of rage.” <http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Egyptian+opposition+promises+rage+today/4182700/story.html> The
  Brotherhood said its members will demonstrate “with all the national
  Egyptian forces, the Egyptian people, so that this coming Friday [today]
  will be the general day of rage for the Egyptian nation.”

• The Muslim Brotherhood published a statement <http://www.ikhwanweb.com/article.php?id=20231> by Code Pink issued in May to promote Code Pink’s trip to Gaza that month. In December, the Muslim Brotherhood published an open letter <http://www.ikhwanweb.net/article.php?id=22322> to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak by Code Pink and the Gaza Freedom March decrying the Egyptian government’s refusal to allow the group passage into Gaza.


• Jodie Evans and Code Pink attempted to destabilize the Egyptian government by provoking a crisis <http://biggovernment.com/2009/12/31/obama-funder-jodie-evans-provokes-crisis-in-egypt-over-hamas-aid-event-obama-pals-ayers-and-dohrn-in-cairo-with-code-pink/> last month over the government’s refusal to allow all 1362 ‘Gaza Freedom’ marchers to enter Gaza through Egypt.


• It would appear that Jodie Evans and Code Pink found an ally in
  Egypt in their opposition to the Mubarak government. This is how Jodie
  Evans repays the kindness showed by First Lady Suzanne Mubarak
  who came to Code Pink’s aid after Jodie Evans sent her a letter asking
  for help delivering the ‘humanitarian aid’ to Hamas-controlled Gaza.

• At this year’s end, we have organized a march of nearly 1,400
  international citizens to come together and march with the families of
  Gaza on the anniversary of the terrible 22-day Israeli invasion. We know
  you share our painful feelings about the human rights violations in
  Gaza — violations which must be all the more painful for their proximity
  to you. We appeal to your compassion for those women, men and children and the conditions in which they live. The delegates on this march are bringing winter jackets for children, as well as children’s medicines and school supplies.


• We once again ask you to intervene on our behalf. Please
  help us travel to Gaza from December 29-January 2 to deliver much-needed
  aid and to march hand-in-hand for justice and human rights for all.

GAZA FLOTILLA & MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

THIS IS AN EXCERPT FROM THE JEWISH CENTER FOR PUBLIC AFFAIRS REPORT ON THE FLOTILLA.

YOU CAN READ THE ENTIRE REPORT HERE:

http://www.jcpa.org/text/Turkey_Muslim_Brotherhood.pdf <http://www.jcpa.org/text/Turkey_Muslim_Brotherhood.pdf>

IHH Was Not Acting Alone – The Role of the Global Muslim Brotherhood Network

• The Gaza flotilla incident brought into sharp focus an even
  more significant longterm development: the growing relationship between
  the Erdogan government and the Global Muslim Brotherhood, which has
  given rise to some of the most notorious Islamist terrorist groups –
  from al-Qaeda to Hamas.


• Since 2006, Turkey has become a new center for the Global
  Muslim Brotherhood, while the Hamas regime in the Gaza Strip acted as
  the main axis for this activity. The AKP allowed key elements
  of the Global Muslim Brotherhood, and above all the International Union
  of Muslim Scholars, led by Sheikh Youssef Qaradawi, to operate freely on
  Turkish territory, with its active support, as witnessed by the large
  number of conferences held recently in Istanbul and sponsored and/or
  attended by Global Muslim Brotherhood leaders.


• However, as this report demonstrates, the IHH was not acting alone
  but rather was an integral part of a Turkish Muslim Brotherhood network
  comprised of seven NGOs with strong links to each other, to the Global
  Muslim Brotherhood, and to the Turkish political establishment.


• The Turkish/MB network has been supported by nearly the whole of the
  Global Muslim Brotherhood, whose affiliates, from a number of Middle
  Eastern countries, provided passengers for the Mavi Marmara. In
  addition, the Global Muslim Brotherhood frequently held press
  conferences and demonstrations to demonize Israel, initiated legal
  actions against Israeli leaders, and delivered aid to those in conflict
  with Israel. The Turkish/MB network played a major role in
  supporting the Gaza flotilla prior to its launching through statements
  and press conferences, and one of its most important leaders, MAZLUMDER
  Chairman Ahmet Unsal, was on board the flotilla. In the aftermath of the
  flotilla, the Turkish/MB network continued its support in more official
  statements, and at a post-flotilla event in Kuwait, Turkish/MB
  network leader Gazi Misirli revealed that MUSIAD had played a major
  role in funding the flotilla by “coordinating” donations. In addition,
  the Turkish/MB network was in ongoing contact with Hamas leaders

• On his blog, Rathke wrote about Egypt: “But in the meantime keep your running shoes handy and in good repair. The streets are on fire and we need to keep our feet in shape so the dogs can keep barking.”


• Rathke is the founder of ACORN International

Wade Rathke & Drummond Pike

http://www.organizersforum.org/index.php?id=362 <http://www.organizersforum.org/index.php?id=362>

• Both men are on the board of directors of the Organizers Forum


• The mission of the Organizers Forum is: to strengthen grassroots
  organizations by increasing capacity and stability of these democratic
  structures, to link organizing networks, and to improve on the skills
  and strategies employed by both community and labor organizers.


• The Organizers Forum plans to host its fall 2011 International Dialogue in Egypt where they will meet with labor and community organizers and other activists in Cairo


• There are exciting changes and developments that are currently taking place in Egypt with elections
  coming soon to determine leadership transitions in what has been an
  autocratic regime, now challenged by the Muslim Brotherhood and succession and democracy issues

Muslim Brotherhood

http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=1235

• Accordingly, the Brotherhood seeks to establish an Islamic
  Caliphate spanning the entire Muslim world. It also aspires to make
  Islamic (Shari’a) law the sole basis of jurisprudence and governance. Toward this purpose — encapsulated in the Brotherhood’s
  militant credo: “God is our objective, the Koran is our Constitution,
  the Prophet is our leader, struggle is our way, and death for the sake
  of God is the highest of our aspirations” — the Brotherhood since its founding has supported the use of armed struggle, or jihad.


• The Brotherhood supports the waging of jihad against non-Muslim “infidels,” and has expressed support for terrorism against Israel, whose legitimacy the Brotherhood does not recognize, and against the West, particularly the United States


• Outlawed in Egypt in 1954, the Brotherhood
  temporarily receded as a political force. It re-emerged under Anwar
  Sadat, a sympathizer of the group. Taking advantage of the Brotherhood’s
  militant aversion to secularism, Sadat sponsored it against his communist and socialist political opposition. Later, however, the
  Brotherhood joined the political Left in opposing Sadat’s peace treaty
  with Israel, believing the normalization of relations with Israel to be a
  betrayal of Islam.


• Outside the Middle East, the Brotherhood has expanded its operations to the United States. Muslim activists affiliated with the Brotherhood have founded the Muslim Students’ Association <https://mail.google.com/groupprofile.asp?grpid=6175> , the North American Islamic Trust, the Islamic Society of North America <https://mail.google.com/groupprofile.asp?grpid=6178> , the American Muslim Council <https://mail.google.com/groupprofile.asp?grpid=6146> , and the International Institute of Islamic Thought <https://mail.google.com/groupprofile.asp?grpid=6180> . The Brotherhood also reportedly exercises a strong influence in Muslim communities throughout Europe.

Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF)

http://www.adl.org/main_Terrorism/backgrounder_holyland.htm <http://www.adl.org/main_Terrorism/backgrounder_holyland.htm>

• The Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), once considered the largest Muslim charity in the U.S., has been shut down by the government for funding Hamas <http://www.adl.org/main_israel/hamas_facts.htm> .


• On May 27, 2009, a federal judge in Dallas handed down sentences
  ranging from 15 to 65 years in prison to five of the charity’s founders
  and former fundraisers. The federal government proved to the jury that
  the defendants funneled over $12 million to Hamas after the U.S.
  government had designated it a foreign terrorist organization in 1995.


• The Justice Department contended that HLF provided more than $12
  million to individuals and organizations linked to Hamas between 1995
  and 2001. In addition, the group reportedly raised a total of $57
  million since its incorporation in 1992, but only reported $36.2 million
  to the IRS.


• A first trial ended in a mistrial in October 2007 when the jury failed to come to a unanimous decision on most counts.

TARIQ RAMADAN

• Ramadan is a citizen of Switzerland


• Ramadan’s grandfather founded the Muslim Brotherhood


• Ramadan has been banned from entering France


• Ramadan was banned from entering the US in 2004 due to accusations of supporting the militant Palestinian group Hamas.


• Labels US security policy as “draconian” and “hostile to freedom”


• Declares there is a “double standard” in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict


• Often criticized as a “charlatan” who says one thing to European audiences and something else to Muslims


• Time magazine named Tariq Ramadan one of the 100 innovators of the 21st century

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/08/nyregion/08muslim.html <http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/08/nyregion/08muslim.html>

• In the summer of 2004, Mr. Ramadan, a Swiss
  citizen, was preparing to travel to the United States to become a
  tenured professor of religion, conflict and peace-building at the
  University of Notre Dame <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/u/university_of_notre_dame/index.html?inline=nyt-org> when the Bush administration revoked his visa <http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/26/national/26scholar.html> .


• The government cited a provision of the Patriot Act <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/u/usa_patriot_act/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier>
  that allows the barring of foreigners who “use a position of
  prominence within any country to endorse or espouse terrorist activity.”
  Officials eventually pointed to Mr. Ramadan’s donations of
  about $1,300 from 1998 to 2002 to a Swiss-based charity that the
  Treasury Department later categorized as a terrorist organization
  because it gave money to Hamas <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/h/hamas/index.html?inline=nyt-org> , the militant Palestinian <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/p/palestinians/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier> group.


• Mr. Ramadan, now a professor of Islamic studies at the University of Oxford, contended he was unaware of any links between the charity and Hamas or terrorist activities.
  The professor, who had visited the United States dozens of times, said
  he believed that the organization was involved in legitimate charitable
  activities.


• The civil liberties union challenged the exclusion in a lawsuit
  filed on behalf of Mr. Ramadan and three organizations that had invited
  him to speak: the American Association of University Professors, the
  American Academy of Religion and PEN American Center. His
  lawyers argued that the exclusion was an illegal form of censorship,
  motivated by the professor’s political views and criticism of American
  policy.


• But he has also antagonized a wide range of critics, who have accused him of being a radical in a moderate’s clothing, and of speaking in contradictions. Some have tried
  to draw direct links between his teachings and the Islamic radicalism
  espoused by his grandfather, Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim
  Brotherhood, a sometimes-violent political group in Egypt. But
  Mr. Ramadan, who has rejected violence in the service of Islam, accuses
  his critics of not reading him carefully enough — or not reading him at
  all.

Peace Professor Singled Out Jews of France, NY Sun, January 7, 2004

• On November 14, 2003, the French newspaper Le Parisien published an
  article quoting a former French intelligence officer and investigator
  for the families of the victims of the September 11 World Trade Center
  bombing, Jean Charles-Brisard, that Mr. Ramadan was suspected by European intelligence agencies of meeting Al Qaeda deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri in 1991.


• Mr. Ramadan in October published an article on an Islamic Web
  site,Oumma.com, singling out some of France’s Jewish intellectuals for
  supporting the war in Iraq and thus, he said, placing the allegiances of
  their religion ahead of their obligation as scholars.


• In it he wrote that the analysis of French Jewish
  intellectuals was “increasingly oriented toward a community-based
  concern that tends to relativize the defense of universal principles
  like equality and justice.”
  
  

Tariq Ramadan: some call him “the most dangerous man in Europe”, others “the Martin Luther of Islam”. Just how sinister is he?

(New Statesman, June 1, 2004)

• Most loaded of all was Ramadan’s use of the term
  “communitarian politics” as a charge against the liberal intelligentsia.
  In French, it carries with it not only an attack on the intellectual
  integrity of individuals, but also a challenge to the fundamental
  principles of the Republic.


• Ramadan was, in other words, not only accusing Jewish intellectuals
  of Jewish self-interest but also, in an echo of the Dreyfus affair, of
  deliberately acting against the interests of the state. This is
  precisely why the level-headed and highly respected Kouchner called him “a most dangerous man”.


• Ramadan’s response to his critics is that he does not want
  to be drawn into “a discourse of hate”. He adds that all Muslims must
  know how to rise above such predictable enemies. “There are certain
  insults which are unworthy and which we do not have to answer,” he say

Court rules Swiss authorities wrong to fire Muslim teacher who defended stoning for adultery

(AP, April 3, 2004)

• Tariq’s brother, Hani Ramadan, was suspended from duty in
  October 2002 after he wrote an article on Muslim Shariat law for the
  French newspaper Le Monde. Besides defending stoning for adulterers, he
  also said AIDS was a form of divine retribution against sinners

• I cited quotations from al-Banna expressing pro-Nazi and
  anti-Semitic views; I quoted Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a follower of
  al-Banna who is a hugely popular TV preacher on Al Jazeera, expressing
  similar views. And I asked Ramadan why he had never acknowledged, let
  alone condemned, these things…


• But he refused to acknowledge that his grandfather and the
  Muslim Brotherhood in its origins were characterized by anti-Semitic or
  totalitarian views. It seemed clear that there was a limit to what he would allow himself to say or think, and that I had found it.

• Detractors claim that Ramadan’s messages are filled with a double language. His
  followers, they say, can decipher his words as a call to furtively
  spread fundamentalist Islam in society under the cover of modernism and
  integration.


• Critics have denounced as anti-Semitic Ramadan’s recent critique of “Jewish French intellectual” reaction to the intifadeh.
  They were appalled when he suggested last year a “moratorium” on the
  stoning of adulterers in order to consider the legitimacy of the act.

Google and Twitter hook up to allow Egyptians to Tweet http://ping.fm/uA18F

Google and Twitter hook up to allow Egyptians to Tweet

Google and Twitter hook up to allow Egyptians to Tweet: "

Over the weekend, the new Googlers at SayNow teamed up up with Twitter to build a Voice-to-tweet solution which could help

Google purchased SayNow last week. Instead of celebrating this weekend, the new Googlers (GOOG), with the help of their new colleagues and some folks at Twitter, put together an application that can convert a phone message into a tweet.

We worked with a small team of engineers from Twitter, Google and SayNow, a company we acquired
last week, to make this idea a reality. It's already live and anyone
can tweet by simply leaving a voicemail on one of these international
phone numbers (+16504194196 or +390662207294 or +97316199855) and the
service will instantly tweet the message using the hashtag #egypt. No
Internet connection is required. People can listen to the messages by
dialing the same phone numbers or going to twitter.com/speak2tweet.

It isn't clear how helpful this will be, many reports out of Egypt
have phone lines being cut as well, but these new Google employees
certainly are making a good first impression.

One of many new Google Ideas?

CBS orders replacements for "Two and a Half Men"

CBS orders replacements for "Two and a Half Men": "

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – CBS has ordered two additional episodes of Monday sitcoms "Mike and Molly" and "Rules of Engagement" to help cope with scheduling issues arising from the absence of Charlie Sheen from the hit show 'Two and a Half Men,' according to sources.

These extra shows will fill in a schedule with sudden holes caused by the absence of Sheen, who reportedly is attempting a rehabilitation program at home with a trained expert in addiction. (Sheen's spokesman declined comment on the actor's health, citing federal privacy laws.)

TMZ has reported that Sheen, who was admitted to a Los Angeles hospital last Thursday complaining of abdominal pains, will be unable to work for three months. A CBS source says that the network has not been informed that Sheen will be out for the season, but his absence would leave CBS short of eight episodes of the planned 24-episode season (there has been no serious talk of shooting the series around his absence).

Warner Bros. Television, which makes 'Men' and 'Mike' (both from studio-based executive producer Chuck Lorre), would not comment on the additional episode order. TMZ claimed Warners and CBS played a role in selecting the addiction specialist treating Sheen, but Warners would not comment on what role it played (if any) in locating the expert. Neither CBS nor Sony Pictures Television, which makes 'Rules,' immediately responded to requests for comment.

CBS has said in a statement that a shutdown of 'Men' 'is not material' to the network. 'Any ratings declines will be more than offset by the reduced programing costs for episodes lost this season,' the network said.

Describing its schedule as 'strong and deep with hit series,' CBS said it is not reliant on one show. 'In addition, 'Two and a Half Men' has always performed well in repeats,' the network said.

It’s Official, MSNBC Declares Bill Clinton ‘President of the World’

It’s Official, MSNBC Declares Bill Clinton ‘President of the World’: "

An MSNBC press release just crossed declaring former President Bill Clinton, “President of the World.”

The special program will air Presidents’ Day at 10pm on MSNBC. For
the record, Presidents’ Day is the third Monday in February, observed in
the United States as a legal holiday in commemoration of the birthdays
of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. MSNBC has decided to mark
President’s Day not with specials about George & Abe, but by airing a
Chris Matthews special feature which all but canonizes William
Jefferson Clinton (one of just two American Presidents to be impeached).

The one-hour documentary follows Clinton around the globe and
highlights some of the good works done by the former President in the
past year. But the release does seem to have small probelm with
reality, especially when you consider this statement about Mr. Clinton;

In the last year alone, he’s provided invaluable
political support to President Obama, hitting the campaign trail for
countless Democratic candidates leading up to the November 2010 midterm
elections.

November 2010 was not that long ago. Does anyone at MSNBC recall that the Midterm elections were a bloodbath for the Democrats?
The President’s party lost more seats than any party has in 60 years.
hardly what one would call “invaluable political support.”

“PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD: THE BILL CLINTON PHENOMENON” airs on MSNBC at 10pm Monday, February 21, 2011
