The bottom feeders from Aljazeera got on the smell of something brewing. As always, not being privy to the real sources of information, they are guessing.

“The US Defence Department is funding research into neural implants with the ultimate hope of turning sharks into “stealth spies” capable of gliding undetected through the ocean, the
British weekly New Scientist says. The research builds on experimental work to control animals by implanting tiny electrodes in their brain, which are then stimulated to induce a behavioural response.”

“The Pentagon hopes to exploit sharks’ natural ability to glide quietly through the water, sense delicate electrical gradients and follow chemical trails,” says the report, carried in next Saturday’s New Scientist.

Poor Aljazeera… This is so last century it is laughable. OK, we’ll show the Doha scribes some of the real stuff.

For quite a few years some of the Elders’ marine dept. were concerned with use of all kinds of fish for various purposes. These sharks with electrodes is chicken feed, really. Today we are talking about whole motherboards installed in some fishes, not to speak about assorted armory, cameras and stuff. The first time an armed shark was presented to the world was here.

This is a result of one of the earlier, crude development stages. Such a laser-equipped shark (called a “frickin’ shark” in professional lingo) is used only for freak-out operations, when all life on the beach (or at the poolside, does not matter) should be burned out indiscriminately.

More sophisticated fishes are used for reconnaissance or focused attack operations. A shark, equipped with a guiding mechanism based on GPS locator and a pre-programmed path, could either provide the Center (otherwise also called the Centre) with a live video feed or attack the target, or both. Here is one example.

You can see the first, historic snapshot of Saddam’s wife being hoisted out of the water by the guards. Of course, it is only her posterior that could be seen, but for a trained attack fish this picture will be more than enough to identify and take out the person dressed in that bathing suit.

We, in the Outfit, call this picture historic, since it was the opener for a new and exciting military application of trained fishes. Since then, our Butt-Biting Corps (BBC - not to be mixed with that media outlet) has grown into a fearsome and disciplined underwater army.

BBC is supported by a large Logistic Surface Department (yes, we know that it is an unfortunate choice for an acronym, but this is a tradition already and cannot be changed). The role of LSD is to gather and update a collection of bathing suit snapshots for every VIP in the world. Should a need for an action regarding the VIP arise, our BBC will be up to any mission.

For example: notice the cool and elegant style of Jacques Chirac, the politically correct color chosen by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the chaste model selected by Ayatollah Khamenai.

Of course, the tactics chosen for identification of the target are not without a fault. For example the “mysterious” attack on an woman near central California coast is a result of a lady wanting to snub a wife of an unidentified general by ordering the same bathing suit. Too bad. And the general wasn’t happy that his request wasn’t carried out immediately, I can tell you.

Well, I hope you are sufficiently impressed by now. And we wouldn’t tell you for a while about the total success achieved with our genetically modified piranhas trained to use drainage pipes to gain access to swimming pools, about our deathly poisonous turtles, about… oh well, this is classified for now…

Shire Network News is up on time this week, because we were on time sending in our parts.

My portion this week is on the Ilan Halimi torture/murder. It ran a little longer than usual, and probably a little angrier.

Tig was outside while I recorded it, so there is no find-the-yowl this week.

I just would like to point out that if you spend several hours researching the Ilan Halimi torture and murder, the last thing you want to do is put up with a French idiot in your comments threads who thinks that the murder had nothing to do with anti-Semitism, and that Jews have a “persecution fantasy” regarding it.

I suspect “Violette” has posted her last on that post.

Mahmoud Abbas continues to suggest that Arafat was poisoned by Israel without directly accusing Israel of it:

Palestinian leaders still suspect Yasser Arafat died of poisoning, President Mahmoud Abbas said in an interview published on Friday.

But in the absence of proof, Abbas told the London-based newspaper al-Hayat he did not intend to accuse anyone of killing Arafat, who died in Paris aged 75 in November 2004.

“Question marks have been raised about Israel. But I cannot accuse it before I am certain and have proof,” he said.

“We have suspicions that Yasser Arafat might have been murdered by poison. We don’t have any proof. So I have said that the file is open until we know the truth,” Abbas said.

There’s one problem with the Undetectable Poison Theory, Abbas: There’s so many Palestinian thugs, criminals, terrorists, figureheads, and all-around scumbags deserving of death out there. If the Israelis went through the time and expense to come up with a toxin that could not be detected or traced, why haven’t they been using it on leaders of Islamic Jihad, Hamas, and Fateh instead of relying on airstrikes?

Or is the embargo of food at the Karni Crossing just a ploy to deplete food stocks in Gaza so that food laced with The Magic Zionist Slow-Acting Stealth Poison can be shipped in through the UNRWA?

Ah, those clever sneaky Zionists. If only The Joker had contracted out to them, he’d have beaten Batman and taken over Gotham decades ago.

The only poison here is the same old keg of Palestinian Rhetoric. And the world is greedily sucking it down, quaffing it with huge swallows, and then wiping its lips and demanding more of that delicious hate-juice.

Our poisonous friend that looks suspiciously similar to Omar Sharif is really brimming with ideas. I would like to say brimming like a glass of good claret, but in fact his kind of brimming is more of the cesspit category. This time he is a bit more focused; unlike his previous opus, this article is analyzing the issue of Muhammed cartoons.

“The self-righteous arrogance with which the West feigns shock at Muslim reactions to humiliation reveals how deeply the colonial attitude runs in the Occident, writes Mulham Assir.”

“Feigning shock with self-righteous arrogance” is something that will, probably, cause many generations of English language writers to go into a deep shock. Whether is will be a feigned one or which part of it is arrogance, I would prefer not to go into. But this could be a fault of the Al-Ahram translator, so let’s move forward.

“The cartoons represent a simple exercise in free speech by the artists who created them, do they not? Not quite. Not so much a spontaneous expression of free speech as a command performance: the cartoons had been commissioned with what seems to be a deliberate intent to provoke.”

So, there was a diabolic conspiracy after all. And we all know who usually stands behind the curtain and pulls the strings, don’t we? It is not necessary to add anything to the above quote, the people in the know shall understand exactly who the guilty party is. Right, Mulhie?

Probably the imams who so diligently disseminated the cartoons over the Muslim world for half an year, fanning the fires, are also part of that conspiracy? But the spitting cobra does not touch this sensitive issue.

“After all, can one be civilized and object to free speech? It is true that these symbols are a bit shop-worn and the aura of inviolability that used to surround them has thinned as new symbols worthy of worship and taboo protection have emerged, like the Holocaust dogma. Free speech clearly has its restrictions: there are several people at this very moment in the CW’s prisons for questioning the literal dogma of the Holocaust.”

Aha! Now we came to the real meat of the article. From that imaginary or real slap on the face to the real pain in the neck. One thing remains unanswered, though: the slap on the face came from the Christian world, so why Muslims try, in turn, to slap the Jooz?

“They [the Christians] would have all cued up at the mike to condemn as “virulently anti-Semitic” a cartoon showing, say, Moses with a Dimona diadem, holding aloft Tables that read “Thou shall expel/imprison/kill them and Thou shalt grab every hilltop, every village.”"

I have some news for you, Mulhie. Your “powerless” Muslim press is churning out hundreds of cartoons of this type, stupid as they are. And not a single person killed anyone yet, burned some embassy or even “cued up at the mike”, whatever that means.

“There is no powerful Muslim lobby to flex its muscles, to choreograph an organized protest, to corral advertisers, to threaten any given newspaper with financial ruin, much less to use the levers of government to demand the world’s vigilance against the grave danger of anti-Islamism (the phrase anti-Semitism cannot be used by other Semites; it is occupied lexical territory).”

Poor powerless Muslims, the whole 1.2 billion of them! No lobby, that is the problem. No organised protests (a bit of a misnomer after the last month or two, but so be it). No leverage. Well, aside of waving the Jihad flags and threatening to stop oil supply, of course, but who is concerned with trifles?

And the final insult - the phrase ‘anti-Semitism” is occupied by Jooz, the perennial occupiers. No wonder one wants to strap an explosive belt and kill all the hated sons of pigs and diseased monkeys.

A kind advice for you, Mulhie. Stop spending your venom. You can only spit sidewise, anyway, and the only damage you do is to your liver. You better listen to the words of a much, much wiser person on this recording. Maybe there is a chance for you yet.

Hat tip: JS

Once again, Hamas has stated its intentions. They will never recognize, negotiate, or have true peace with Israel. Once again, the world will ignore this and continue to recognize and fund the openly anti-Israel, openly terrorist organization. And this was said on its trip to Russia, where Vladimir Putin is of the opinion that Hamas might actually negotiate.

MOSCOW (AP) - Hamas’ political leader, on a groundbreaking visit to Russia, rejected on Friday any discussion about the militant group’s refusal to recognize Israel’s right to exist, dealing a setback to Moscow’s efforts to persuade it to soften its stance.

“The issue of recognition (of Israel) is a decided issue,” said Hamas’ exiled political leader, Khaled Mashaal, upon arrival in Moscow for talks with Russian officials. “We don’t intend to recognize Israel.”

So, who else is going to jump on the Hamas bandwagon? South Africa announced yesterday that they’re only too happy to give the terrorists another podium. Because Hamas is ever so accomodating to suggestions of change.

After arriving in Moscow, Mashaal accused Israel of blocking the Mideast peace process and said Israel’s “occupation” of Palestinian lands will top the agenda in the Moscow talks.

Omri (who is finally back from his posting hiatus) is going to have fun with that quote. It’s Israel’s fault that the peace process is blocked, not because Hamas won’t recognize or negotiate with Israel. Because of the “occupation.” I would point out to you that Hamas considers all of Israel to be “occupied” palestinian land. The world chooses to ignore this fact, too. South Africa certainly does. They’ve joined the list of countries that want to talk to the Jew-killing terrorists that are Hamas.

This quote points out that Russians are just as blind and stupid as Western analysts:

“Hamas won’t listen to Russia because Moscow has no real levers of influence over them,” said Fyodor Lukyanov, editor of the foreign policy magazine Russia in Global Affairs. “This is not the time of the Soviet Union, when we had real clout in the region.”

Hamas is a religious-based entity. Russia would have had no clout with them back then, except they probably would have been supplying them with weapons.

Peronsally, I think a lot of problems can be solved if the IAF took out Mashaal’s plane on the way there or back, but that’s just me thinking outside the box.
