As you know, Jack Kevorkian a/k/a “Dr. Death” died today in the comfort of a hospital, after fighting to stay alive amidst liver cancer and other maladies of old age.  Yup, old age . . . something not all of his victims got to experience because he murdered them.  I passed by the hospital where he died, this morning, and I noted how the place, Beaumont Hospital, is much nicer than the cramped, dark spaces where many of Kevorkian’s victims drew their last breaths before premature death.    It’s funny how the same crowd of situational ethics liberals, who are always decrying “back alley abortions,” have no prob with back alley–and back-of-rotting-VW-van–murders.  I don’t need to say much more on Kevorkian, who was not a licensed physician (his license was yanked long ago).  I said it all, last year, when HBO glorified him in the Al Pacino vehicle, “You Don’t Know Jack.”

Wawa Happened?: Hey, Jack Kevorkian Didn’t Finish The Job

Kevorkian Art . . .

Not all of Kevorkian’s victims were of sound mind or legitimately at death’s door or in extreme pain and suffering.  In fact, some died under suspicious circumstances and health that wasn’t exactly failing.  One of them was allegedly pushed into it by her husband, Franklin Curren, who reportedly improperly prescribed drugs to his wife and was arrested for assaulting her just weeks before she played the starring role in Kevorkian’s live human snuff-out.  These problems and many others are fleshed out in Michael Betzold’s “Appointment with Doctor Death,” probably the most thorough and detailed account of the real Jack Kevorkian story.

A word of full disclosure:  my personal lawyer and good friend, Michael Alan Schwartz, a brilliant former prosecutor, was one of Kevorkian’s lawyers for many years.  In fact, as the partner of Geoffrey Fieger, who had little criminal defense experience, Michael was the brains behind the successful Kevorkian legal defense at nearly all of his trials for assisted suicide.  Michael knows I opposed the “work” of Jack Kevorkian and that I am pro-life, so we agree to disagree on that.  In my view, Kevorkian is a glorified murderer.

You know times have really changed when the superheroes of yesteryear who were applauded for pursuing Nazis have been replaced by superheroes who deplore the pursuit of Nazis and men who are “arch villains” for killing Nazis.  Maybe it’s because it might offend Muslims, Pat Buchanan, and Lars Von Trier. Sadly, that 180 in what makes one a “superhero” is stark in “X-Men: First Class,” the X-Men prequel, which debuts in theaters today.

I absolutely loved the first half of this movie.  It’s the second half that completely ruined it for me.  Not only was it a mess, but the ultimate message of the movie is that it’s a bad thing for a Holocaust survivor to want to go after the Nazi doctor who murdered his mother–that vengeance is bad.  Huh?

Also, sorry comicbookland-cum-Hollywood, but your stories about the West and the Communists being coaxed into Cold War nuclear war by evildoers is getting old and very stale.  Anything to avoid touching on a more current battle, like the West versus Islam, right? Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve written before about Somalian American Muslims who’ve disappeared, only to become homicide bombers for Al-Qaeda affiliate, Al-Shabaab, back in Somalia.  Many, including Shirwa Ahmed were recruited by their Minneapolis-St. Paul area imam to become Islamic terrorists.  The Imam/Islamic terrorist recruiter, Abdirahman Ahmed of the Abubakar As-Saddique Islamic Center, was defended as a good guy by faux-moderate Muslim Mohammed Zuhdi Jasser.  Now there’s yet another “moderate” American Muslim, Abdullahi Ahmed, who blew up the African Union on Monday, killing three.  But Muslims exposed to American culture would never do such a thing, right?

Abdullahi Ahmed a/k/a Cabdulaahi Ahmed Faarax, Al-Qaeda Homicide Bomber From Bloomington, MN

Oh, and get this: Ahmed had two different names/identities.  Shocker.  As I’ve noted repeatedly on this site, when these immigrants come to this country, we have no way of knowing who they are–what their real names are, whether or not they are terrorist, and why they are coming here.  We have no way of checking.  They can make up a name, and we just take them at their word, which is why we often get malefactors like this terrorist coming into the U.S. legally or being born to parents who come here legally with the same ill intentions and phony identities.

A man who blew himself up in a suicide bombing in Somalia this week was a Twin Cities man under indictment for aiding terrorists, an official with that country’s U.N. mission said Thursday.

The attack in the capital of Mogadishu on Monday, which killed three African Union soldiers, was carried out by Abdullahi Ahmed, 25, of Minneapolis, according to the website of al-Shabaab, the group that claimed responsibility for the bombing. Read the rest of this entry »

Apparently the Department of Homeland Security learned nothing from 9/11 . . . and has zero just plain common sense.  DebbieSchlussel.com has learned that it is official Department of Homeland Security policy for all agents to stay in buildings when a bomb threat is made, even if an actual bomb is discovered.  Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, who make up the largest group of DHS agents, are angry, as they’ve learned their agency values their lives very little (if at all).

Official Dept of Homeland Security Policy: Agents Must Stay in Bldg, Get Blown Up During Bomb Threats

You may recall that, in March, I broke the story that ICE agents at Detroit’s McNamara Federal Building were not told about a live bomb discovered in the building, until many hours later.  They were not told about it even after the bomb was moved just outside of the windows of their offices.  Their Islamo-pandering boss, ICE Michigan/Ohio Special Agent in Charge Brian Moskowitz a/k/a “Abu Moskowitz,” didn’t even inform them about the bomb, until hours after it was discovered in their building.  Agents were rightfully upset, given that they could have blown up.  Most of them have families, with kids who would lose a parent.  Had the bomb not been discovered and removed to be detonated elsewhere, they might all be dead.

But, apparently, what Moskowitz did is official Department of Homeland Security policy, as ICE agents in Dallas recently learned, when they were not allowed to leave their office building during a bomb threat.  Yes, agents are sitting ducks, their safety deliberately put at risk by the Department of Homeland Security.  The agency cannot, and refuses to keep its own agents safe.  Think it’s gonna keep America safe?  Ha.  Think again, suckers.  Here’s what one agent told me:

I work for the Immigration and Customs EnFARCEment office at 7701 N. Stemmons Fwy., in Dallas, TX. The below forwarded email is in reference to a suspicious package incident that we had in our building on Wednesday, May 18, 2011. The email is from the Assistant Director of my office. [DS: The agent redacted the person’s name to protect the innocent.] Read the rest of this entry »

In early April, I told you about Tewfiq “Tom” Gores, the Israeli/Lebanese/”Palestinian” half-Arab/half-Greek/wholly cheesy billionaire who was buying the Detroit Pistons and its parent company, Palace Sports and Entertainment–Michigan’s largest sports and entertainment conglomerate–from the family of the late William Davidson.  I told you about Gores’ anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, pro-HAMAS relatives who incorrectly identify themselves as “Palestinians” and some of whom are mobster thugs in organized crime in Flint, Michigan.  This week, the NBA approved Gores as Pistons owner and the transfer was completed to much hype.  But I’m concerned about unsolicited contact and threatening phone calls from people allegedly representing Gores and his friends.

Cheesy Billionaire Tewfiq “Tom” Gores & His “Palestinian” Entourage @ Pistons Game

Sleazy Lawyer Keith Sirlin Threatened Me on Behalf of New Pistons Owner Tewfiq Tom Gores & His Friends

Not long after I wrote the piece and just a few hours before the holiday of Passover was about to start on Monday, April 18th, I received a threatening phone call, allegedly on behalf of Gores and his friends from a Detroit area attorney, Keith Sirlin, a sleazy looking guy who does criminal defense and bankruptcies.  Mr. Sirlin threatened me and told me that he had Tom Gores’ best friend Wade Mc-Something-or-other from Flint, whom he said was sitting next to him in his office listening to the call.  He told me he was calling on behalf of Tom Gores and his friends and that I had better remove my post about Gores.  He lectured me, “People of our religion [Sirlin is nominally Jewish] never write things like that.  We don’t do that.”

Me:  “Huh?  Everything I wrote about Tewfiq Tom Gores is absolutely correct and documented.  You have no problem with his anti-Semitic, pro-HAMAS, mobster family?  What do you mean ‘we never?’  If you were a good Jew, you’d know not to call me just a few hours before Passover with your absurd threats.  Who told you to call me?  Tell me again what the name of your client, Tom Gores’ friend is?” Read the rest of this entry »

The story of Senior Supervisory Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Agent Steve Kucan is a microcosm of a larger picture.  The top brass at the agency are clueless.  They want to take their agency away from doing the desperately needed immigration and customs work they are supposed to do and transform it into the largest domestic law enforcement agency with no boundaries or mission, far beyond the reasons the agency was created after 9/11 in the first place.  And, yet, they cannot even see the forest for the trees.  They don’t even notice when one of their own agents is constantly, openly hauling away government property and selling it on Ebay.  How the heck are they gonna effectively investigate crime and track down illegal aliens, if they don’t even notice this going on for years inside their own agency?

Agents who know Kucan claim they saw him openly taking things home even back in the days when he worked for the old INS. Agents constantly complained about this, but no one cared . . . until now, years after the fact.  It’d be kind of funny if it weren’t so sad.  And it’s why some of the many demoralized ICE agents refer to their own agency as Immigration and Customs EnFARCEment.

An immigration agent living in Wood-Ridge [DS: Northern New Jersey] has been arrested after being accused of stealing government property and selling it on the Internet.

A supervisory special agent with the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Steven Kucan, 47, of Wood Ridge, was arrested on May 17 for allegedly stealing government property and selling it on eBay. Read the rest of this entry »

Hmmm . . . why is it that there’s only hype over a “wealthy-foreigner-versus-New-York-hotel-maid” when the alleged victim is a “devout” Muslim alien with AIDS and the alleged perpetrator is a nominal Jew; and yet there’s little interest when the perpetrator in such a story is a wealthy Muslim banker from newly “liberated” Egypt?

Attempted Rapist Mahmoud Omar Does the Perp Walk

When the story about Dominique Strauss-Kahn broke, a gazillion Muslims asked me why I didn’t write about it and whether it’s because he’s (nominally) Jewish.  Nope.  I couldn’t care less about the story.  The only interesting part of it is that the alleged victim is a hijab-wearing Muslim immigrant from Guinea who was quickly granted asylum here and then provided tax-funded government housing for people with AIDS and/or HIV.  Not sure why we let people in with at least a triple whammy–extremist religion and devout observance of it, infection with a fatal communicable disease, and the need for immediate and long-term government subsidies and assistance.  But, sadly, we do, and that’s why there will be more and more of those.  Not sure how someone who needs to be soooo “modest” that she wears an Islamic headscarf contracted HIV and/or AIDS, but wouldn’t be surprised if she got it from having sex, Islamic modesty being the oxymoronic phrase and fraudulent concept that it is.  And as for her asylum application, I wonder what it said, since we know most people lie on those, falsely claiming some phony past or future harassment or persecution, but Immigration Courts grant most of these asylum requests and they are never investigated.  I’m sure she was fine in Guinea and had no legit reason to be here.

And, now, there’s the story of Mr. Omar, which–since he’s not a JINO (Jew In Name Only) and his victim ain’t a Muslim–is apparently not worth the hype that Kahn’s story is.  Of course, that double standard is nothing new.  Just ask Alfred Dreyfus.

The former chairman of Egypt’s Bank of Alexandria was held overnight at New York’s Riker’s Island jail complex after being arraigned in Manhattan on charges of sexually abusing a maid at the Pierre Hotel in New York.

Manhattan judge Gerald Lebovits around midnight last night set bail for Mahmoud Abdel Salam Omar, chairman of El-Mex Salines at $50,000 bond or $25,000 cash, according to the Manhattan District Attorney’s office. Omar also was ordered to surrender his travel documents, prosecutors said. Read the rest of this entry »

On Sunday, some people attacked me when I noted that PBS’ prime time Memorial Day special was simply a fraud and merely twice-a-year patriotism (also on Independence Day) to fund its 363 other days of the year chock full of anti-American and pan-Islamic programming.  But check out the TV listings for the night after Memorial Day. . .  at least the ones in Detroit on PBS.  I highlighted the PBS programming in the rest of the country and what they aired on WTVS, Detroit’s PBS affiliate run by Islamo-panderers.  The scans are below.  Check out the stark differences . . .

USA Today’s Tuesday prime time TV listings nationwide:

Detroit Newsistan’s Tuesday prime time TV listings for Detroit:

As I’ve noted on this site previously, Jeff Forster, the Vice President of Programming and Production for Detroit’s PBS (Palestinian Broadcasting Service) affiliate, once recruited me to host my own political TV show.  But I quit.  It wasn’t just that Mr. Forster went out of his way to tell me facts of questionable import and taste, like when he proudly proclaimed how he was a fan of Oui Magazine, “because it was the first magazine in America to show women’s pubic hair.”  (Yup, that’s the kind of “high-brow” stuff rife at PubicBS.) I quit because the PBS people were–Quelle surprise!–stuffy, humorless liberals with a taste for the boring, lame, and unoriginal.  Oh, and they were pandering to Muslims and trolling for Islamic cash.

Today is “Yom Yerushalayim” (Jerusalem Day), honoring the 44th anniversary of the city’s reunification from Islamic occupation, oppression, and apartheid in 1967.  I’ve written about Jerusalem and its historical role, as the eternal Jewish city for thousands of years, whereas in Islam, it’s a new story created out of wholecloth.  I recommend you read my piece, “Whose Jerusalem?” which tells you everything you need to know about Jewish history of Jerusalem versus Muslim “history” (a/k/a revisionism and fairy tales) on Jerusalem.  Yup, the ruling Al-Ummayad Muslims created a fictional claim to get Muslims to go elsewhere at a time it could not facilitate the hajj to Mecca, as rival Muslim rebels had overtaken and were blocking access (and the fairy tale soon took and became the “Islamic claim to Jerusalem”).  Yup, it’s been “blame the Jews” or steal the Jews’ land for centuries in that “religion,” and almost always to take eyes off their own internal fighting and problems.

Israeli Soldiers Liberate the Western Wall of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem from Muslim Occupation in 1967

As we recognize and celebrate Jerusalem Day, let us remember that Jerusalem was divided and treated like garbage by Muslims in Barack Obama’s preferred “pre-1967 borders.” Never again should Israel return to those Auschwitz borders, as leftist Israeli politician Abba Eban–a peacenik who was willing to concede a lot to the Muslims for the elusive and non-existent “peace”–called them. Jerusalem must never again be divided or occupied by Islamic interlopers and invaders.

Below is video of Jerusalem accompanying the song, “Yerushalayim Shel Zahav” (Jerusalem of Gold). It is sung here by Ofra Haza, an Israeli woman whose family came to Israel from Yemen, from which they were expelled from their home. Sadly, Ms. Haza, a leftist whose music was loved even in Muslim lands, died of AIDS, which she reportedly got either from her husband, a rumored drug user, or from a blood transfusion she got during a miscarriage at a Turkish hospital. My late father was a big fan, and I have his many Ofra Haza CDs. The song was originally written and sung by the late Naomi Shemer, a popular Israeli singer and former IDF soldier, who wrote the song in 1967, upon Jerusalem’s reunification after liberation from Muslim occupation. My late Holocaust survivor grandfather, Isaac, used to always play Shemer’s version on his record player when I visited. Love it.

You may have heard about yesterday’s federal indictment of Bowling Green, Kentucky residents, Waad Ramadan Alwan and Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, who sought to obtain and ship Stinger missiles and other explosive devices, as well as money, to Al-Qaeda in Iraq.  They are Iraqi immigrants who were admitted into the U.S., despite the fact that they were Al-Qaeda insurgents who murdered countless U.S. troops from 2003-2006 and despite the fact that they were captured by Iraqi authorities in 2006.  Oh, and despite the fact that Alwan’s fingerprints were found on IEDs in Iraq.  There are many more like them because the U.S. has rapidly admitted tens of thousands of Iraqi immigrants under pressure from Republican elected officials and faux-conservative commentators like Michael Open Borders Jack Abramoff Buddy Medved. Who knows what these immigrant Muslim terrorists might have done against Americans in U.S. soil?  Read FBI Special Agent Richard E. Glenn’s chilling affidavit in the federal criminal complaint against Alwan.  Read FBI Special Agent Richard E. Glenn’s chilling affidavit in the federal criminal complaint against Hammadi.  Read the federal indictment against Alwan and Hammadi.

Waad Alwan & Mohanad Hammadi: Al Qaeda Terrorists Given US Asylum to Plan Terrorist Attacks From US Soil

I’ve warned, time and again on this site and elsewhere, that our admission of tens of thousands of Iraqi immigrants–legally!–into the U.S. involves little or no scrutiny.  We don’t know who these people are and have no way of verifying their names and identities.  As a result, we’ve admitted many Iraqis who’ve ended up helping Al-Qaeda, like Mr. X a/k/a Noureddine Malki a/k/a Almaliki Nour a/k/a Abu Hakim a/k/a Abdulhakeem Nour, another Iraqi immigrant we let in after we went to war in Iraq.  He became a translator for the U.S. military in Iraq and was informing Al-Qaeda on U.S. troop movements, so the Islamic terrorist group could murder them.

There have been several other such cases.  And now there are these two. There will be many, many more like them, because we are letting anyone with a heartbeat into the country from Iraq (and many other such undesirable locales).

Waad Ramadan Alwan, 30, and Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, 23, both former residents of Iraq who currently reside in Bowling Green, were charged in a 23-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Bowling Green on May 26, 2011. Alwan is charged with conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals abroad; conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction (explosives) against U.S. nationals abroad; distributing information on the manufacture and use of IEDs; attempting to provide material support to terrorists and to al Qaeda in Iraq; as well as conspiracy to transfer, possess, and export Stinger missiles. Hammadi is charged with attempting to provide material support to terrorists and to al Qaeda in Iraq, as well as conspiracy to transfer, possess, and export Stinger missiles.
