**** Make Sure you read “Debunking Nada Prouty’s and “60 Minutes'” Lies & Propaganda,” First ***

Ever since her revisionist media blitz began Sunday Night on CBS News’ “60 Minutes,” Hezbollah Spy Nada Nadim Prouty (a convicted felon) and her new lawyer, Mark Zaid, have been hinting in all sorts of places that they’re going to sue me or try to have me blackballed for calling Prouty what she admitted to in writing in Federal Court:  that she’s a Hezbollah spy and that she accessed FBI computers on several occasions, examining Hezbollah investigations (to which she was not assigned), for the purpose of informing her brother-in-law, Talal Chahine, who was–at the time–the terrorist group’s third biggest financier after Iran and Syria.  She admitted in her plea that she conspired with Chahine, an agent of Hezbollah.

(Oh, and by the way, Zaid’s/Prouty’s/60 Minutes’ only argument in Prouty’s favor–that she was “cleared by the CIA” makes no difference.  She didn’t access their databases for Hezbollah.  She accessed the FBI’s, and that agency DID NOT clear her.)

Zaid told the Detroit Free Press:

Zaid said he is preparing to sue bloggers and news media outlets who that persist in calling Prouty a Hizballah spy and is contacting members of Congress and the Obama administration in hopes of restoring her citizenship or permanent resident status.

. . . the stage parents who allowed their young kids to be cast in this “rendition” of a scene from “Scarface,” complete with constant use of the word, “fudge,” as in “mother-fudger” and “fudge you,” as well as machine guns and murder.  Although it’s NOT a school play as labeled (that part is a hoax), the kids were cast in this video by Mark Klasfeld and Rockhard Films, who made Lady Gaga’s “Pokerface” video. (Get an original idea, Mark. It’s been done already, in a much more classy way, via 1976’s “Bugsy Malone.”)

But it really doesn’t matter that it’s not a school play, nor that it was staged for money via a casting call and Hollywood agents.  These kids can’t be more than eight, nine, or ten years old. Just terrif that they’re being introduced–and desensitized–to this crap at such a young age. It’s hardly the same thing as playing cops and robbers with toy guns. Not even close.  Whether or not the kids are “professional actors” is a distinction without a difference.

Say hello to my leetle child abuse. . .

Hey, maybe next, these young ingenues can do “Last Tango in Paris” or “Showgirls.”  I mean, it’s only a play, and the kids are professional actors . . . right?  What could possibly be the harm?

Even Tony Montana doesn’t approve.

It gives new meaning to Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water.” And it has echoes of Leon Klinghoffer & the Achille Lauro hijacking all over again . . . not to mention all the Muslims who’ve been having sudden “drunken” or “upset” incidents on planes all over American airspace since November.

Smoke on the Water: Jihadi “Hoaxer” Ibrahim Khalil Zarou & the Carnival Sensation

They’re now calling this weekend “adventure in jihad” a “hoax,” but it’s quite apparent what it really is: they’re testing the system . . . just like they did the last several months on planes across America. Ibrahim Khalil Zarou and his comrades just learned the procedures and reaction time for a future version of his so-called “hoax.” “Inebriated”? PUH-LEEZE.

Aboard the Carnival Sensation in the wee hours of Sunday morning, a 31-year-old Virginia man was heard shouting “We are jihad,” and “Come to the top deck and watch the bomb,” according to a U.S. Coast Guard spokesman. Other reports said he was very inebriated.

The words were later determined to be a hoax and the passenger, Ibrahim Khalil Zarou of Leesburg, Virginia, who had been cruising as part of a party of 12, was arrested by Brevard County Sheriff’s Office officials for making a false bomb threat.

To my friends and readers:

Tonight is the start of Passover (“Pesach,” in Hebrew), the Jewish celebration of our freedom from slavery in Egypt, so many years ago.

Passover Seder Plate

If you are Jewish, a Happy and Kosher Passover to you. If you are not, please note that because, at sundown tonight, Passover begins, I’ll be out of blog commission until Wednesday Night. No worries, though, because I’ve prepared some stuff I think is good, timely, and interesting, which will be up during the next couple of days in my absence.

On Passover, for eight days, we don’t eat leavened bread, and instead, eat a flat, cracker-like bread (of which the dough doesn’t have time to rise), called “matzoh.” (It’s not a low-carb holiday.) For the first two nights, we hold a special ceremonial dinner, called the “Seder” (which means “order”) during which we tell the story of the Jews’ enslavement and how G-d performed miracles and freed them from Egypt, taking them to the land of Israel (yes, Jews have been in Israel since then, not just after the Holocaust as the Muslims would have you believe). We eat certain foods, such as bitter herbs and vegetables dipped in salt water, to remember the bitterness and tears of slavery.

Whatever happened to parental responsibility and parents teaching their kids a little responsibility and self-control?

Anti-corporate thugs are engaging in yet more stupid, PETA-style tactics . . . demanding the “retirement” of Ronald McDonald because he’s “too influential.”  Hilarious. As if that’s gonna happen.  Some left-wing outfit, calling itself “Corporate Accountability International,”  says that the famous redhead has too much influence on kids.

Hmmm . . . Ronald McDonald has been around for decades, and kids used to be thinner for much of his lifetime.  It’s not Ronald McDonald that’s the problem.  It’s parents who are too lazy to parent and restrict their kids from eating whatever they want whenver they want.  It’s parents who are too busy working and doing whatever else to parent.  It’s kids who are never taught discipline, self-control, and personal responsibility.

Yes, there are a lot of people in America who’ve influenced their kids to be blobs who always eat unhealthfully and at McDonald’s.  And those people should retire.  Unfortunately, they are womb and sperm donors who call themselves, “parents.”  Ronald McDonald has nothing to do with it.  For the record, I don’t even eat at McDonald’s because it’s not kosher, but I defend McDonald’s right to do business and use Ronald McDonald in that effort.

In the past, I told you about Dr. John Withers, a Black U.S. soldier in World War II, who risked his future, to defy orders and save a Holocaust survivor, Martin Weigen, from death in Dachau.  The survivor later immigrated to America, and they met again here, later in their lives.

Holocaust Survivor Sandor Adler w/ Otto Orwig, the US Soldier Who Saved Him

On Sunday, another such meeting occurred when Holocaust survivor Sandor Adler and his extended family–all of whom would not be here but for their liberation by American soldiers (and G-d’s grace)–thanked Otto Orwig and his family. And the touching occasion is captured on video, below.  Orwig was one of the brave American servicemen in the Eleventh Armored Division who saved Adler, then a 15-year-old. The meeting was set up by the Holocaust Memorial Center in Farmington Hills, Michigan, which was founded by my cousin, the late Rabbi Charles Rosenzveig.  It’s yet another beautiful story of the greatness of America and our fighting soldiers.

Why don’t we just hand over the keys of the Department of Homeland Security to Bin Laden or Nasrallah?  That makes sense when you consider that we’re basically doing that anyway.

The Syrian Muslim Shoras:

They’ve Got Homeland Security, TSA Covered for Their Jihadi Friends

On Thursday, the Muslim-dominated, deceptively-named American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) announced that the group’s legal director, Nawar Shora–a Syrian Muslim–would become Senior Policy Advisor to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).  And it’s not a political appointment.  It’s a civil service position, which means that Obama is installing this extremist in the position until he chooses to leave or retire.

Shora is an extremist.  Although ADC was not behind the Flying Imams lawsuit, Shora’s “policy recommendations” and other absurdities are behind their shenanigans.  Shora is the force behind ADC “training videos,” which instructed federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security to remove their shoes before entering a Muslim suspect’s home (even if they’re there to arrest the guy) and other similar absurdities.  And he’s opposed to any security measure that will help root out Islamic terrorists.  He’s exactly the kind of person Islamic terrorists would want in a senior policy position at TSA, even if his position is at TSA’ s Office of Civil Rights.  That office has tremendous influence on all of TSA’s policies, practices, and procedures.  And, in his position, Shora will have access to top secret, classified info that he can easily pass off to his extremist buddies.

****  UPDATE, 03/30/10:  The Documents Don’t Lie:  The Hezbollah Spy’s Lawyer v. Me ****

**** UPDATE, 03/29/10:  SCROLL DOWN FOR Full CBS “60 Minutes” Propaganda “Report” and My Response to the Lies about Nada Nadim Prouty  ****

You know what’s truly disgusting?  That Hezbollah spy, immigration fraud perpetrator, and FBI/CIA infiltrator Nada Nadim Prouty a/k/a Nada Nadim Al-Aouar DeLaDurantaye Valley Prouty is not only not behind bars for life for selling out America to Hezbollah  because Federal Judge Avern Cohn, a Marxist, gave her only a fine of a few hundred dollars as a “sentence” for her treason (the limp Bush administration sought only six months prison time for her spying).  Even more disgusting, though, is that, tonight, CBS News’ “60 Minutes” is whitewashing her as a “patriot.”  She’s a patriot, all right.  Just not an American one.  She’s a Hezbollah patriot.  Prouty was the first Jihad Jane,  about whom I wrote in a New York Post column, in which we called her Jihad Jane.  Tonight, “60 Minutes” cites that column (without mentioning me or the post by name).  Prouty and her lawyers cited my New York Post column in their brief seeking a soft sentence.

Watch the full “60 Minutes” Propaganda Piece by Scott Pelley:

As I wrote, Prouty spied for her brother-in-law, Talal Khalil Chahine, a Hezbollah financier who sent the terrorist group $21 million in revenue from his La Shish Middle Eastern restaurants. (The Bush administration, by the way, allowed Chahine to flee the country, which is even more nauseating.)  She accessed FBI and CIA databases for Chahine, telling him the status of the investigation into his Hezbollah financing activities.

She isn’t Muslim, by the way.  She’s Druze, and she and her family are members of the Syrian National Socialist Party in Lebanon–a big-time Hezbollah ally, which commits terrorist acts.  A number of her Al-Aouar family members in Lebanon perpetrated bombings and murders on behalf of Syria and in solidarity with Hezbollah.  Prouty’s sisters Elfat El-Aouar and Rula Nadim Al Aouar also committed, respectively, tax fraud/money laundering for Hezbollah and immigration fraud.  Her sister-in-law, Samar Khalil Nabbou DelaDurantaye Spinelli, also Lebanese, committed immigration fraud and infiltrated the U.S. Marines.  Her nephew, Khalil Chahine, committed an honor killing of the Christian Arab who got engaged to his Muslim former girlfriend.  He is now in a Michigan prison.

It’s another weekend to rent or watch a movie on demand.  Nothing new at the box office is worth wasting ten bucks.

*  “Hot Tub Time Machine“:  The title should be a giant hint.  It stinks.  This movie tries really, really hard to be this year’s version of the equally bad, “The Hangover” (read my review).  I couldn’t wait for it to be over.  Crude, vulgar, crass, and stupid.  That about sums it up.  Wow, John Cusack (the biggest star in this movie) must really be desperate for a paycheck.  Ditto for Chevy Chase, who makes a few brief appearances.  I barely laughed.  Mostly the jokes were cheesy and stupid.  And the movie was largely an excuse to show multiple shots of topless women, fill a script with four letter words, and get royalties for desperate, balding former hair bands and one-hit wonders from the ’80s, whose songs make up the soundtrack.

I’ve repeatedly warned you about PAWNN–the Prince Al-Waleed News Network–a/k/a FOX News.  The anti-Israel world view of Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal, the Saudi billionaire who is the second largest shareholder in News Corp. and its FOX News, is quickly seeping into FOX News as his investments with Rupert Murdoch increase.  And not just to the cable network, but some of its owned and operated stations, like my local FOX News-run FOX affiliate, FOX 2 a/k/a FOX 2. FOX News runs and oversees this station and its “news” operation, and, in the recent past, when I’ve called the station to complain about the station’s frequent anti-Israel, pan-Islamic coverage, FOX News officials have responded.

Deena Centofanti: FOX News “Health Reporter,” HAMAS Tool

Check out this sickening, uh, “health” story video, below,  “reported” by incompetent FOX 2 News and sometime anchor Deena Centofanti. It’s pure anti-Israel propaganda. The “report” ran Wednesday Night on the station’s newscast (and on several other newscasts, during the day, Thursday).  In fact, it has nothing to do with health at all.  It’s a blatant anti-Israel video screed, with Centofanti doing no reporting.  In fact, you’ll notice the FOX 2 News microphone is in the hands of the Palestinian activist, who perpetuated this ridiculous story.  And Centofanti puts forth whatever she says as fact, with no opposing viewpoint, no form of objective journalism whatsoever.

The cover story:  a Palestinian Muslim girl from Gaza is frightened for her life because she was shot in her leg with bullets, has a scar, and can’t walk correctly . She’s come to America for surgery from kind Muslims who will make things better.  She’s scared whenever she sees planes.  Although this girl, Falesteen (which, yes, means “Palestine”) Tambora, never mentions Israel, nor is the country mentioned in the story, the “evil” target of the story is clear.  This isn’t a health story.  It’s not about how to lose weight or beat cancer.  It’s about, “Israel is evil.”

And now for a reality check on who this girl is, why she’s here, and who the family is with whom she’s staying:
