Racist Arab Islamic Apartheid 'wall' at the London Olympics 2012 freerepublic.com Posted on Saturday, July 28, 2012 11:56:41 PM by Milagros Lebanese Olympic Team Demands Barrier Separation From Israel Squad The Algemeiner, July 27, 2012 The Lebanese judo team forced International Olympic Committee officials to erect a barrier between themselves and the Israeli judo squad, Friday afternoon in London, just hours before the Games' opening ceremony, reports Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot. Both teams were scheduled to train inside London's ExCeL center but Lebanon's team did not want to be seen by the Israeli one, and IOC officials heeded to the Lebanese's demand after the team's coach demanded separation. This is not the first time Middle Eastern judo teams have caused a political stir. In February, Egypt's Ramadan Dawris defeated Arik Zeevi of Israel, but afterwards, Dawris refused to shake the hand of his competitor.... algemeiner.com More Olympic Spirit - Lebanese Team Demands Barrier Separation From Israelis July 27th, 2012 [...] The two teams were scheduled to train inside London's ExCeL center but Lebanon's team refused and their team's coach demanded an apartheid wall to separate them from the Jews. Of course the IOC complied with this racism rather than give Lebanon an ultimatum to abide by the Olympic Charter, curb their behavior or pack for the trip home. sago.com Lebanese Olympic Team Refuses to Train Next to Israeli Jews; Apartheid Olympics Erects Barrier By Debbie Schlussel July 27, 2012, - 12:14 pm Though the London Olympic Games Opening Ceremonies take place tonight, the ghosts of the Islamic terrorists at Munich win yet again. Jacques Rogge, the anti-Semitic International Olympic Committee chief, who refuses to memorialize the Israeli athletes slain at Munich by those terrorists, built an apartheid structure for intolerant, anti-Semitic Lebanese Olympic team members who refuse to be anywhere near Israelis 'cuz they might get the cooties or something. If Rogge had any testicles–and he does not, or even a modicum of decency (and he ain't got that either), he'd tell the Lebanese to get lost. And FYI, many of the Lebanese competitors are not Muslims. Some are Chistian. But they hate Jews just the same. Face that fact. It's not just Islam. It's Arabia. (As I recently told you, Lebanese recording artist and Christian Arab, Najwa Karam, said her ideal man would be part Hitler.) And Lebanon is basically Hezbollahstan these days to anybody who knows anything about what's going on there. By the way, this is the Olympics that already banned a Greek athlete for making a racist comment. But the Lebanese Arab bigotry, well, that's tolerated. debbieschlussel.com Islamic apartheid: Lebanese Olympic team demands barrier separation from Israel squad, IOC agrees [July 28, 2012] infidelnewsnetwork.com

The Regulation of the American People July 29, 2012 finance.townhall.com With the role of red bureaucratic tape in hampering small business just in the news, we thought we'd take a historic look at how many pages of new rules and regulations the federal government spits out every year. Or rather, in each year beginning with 1936, because that's all as far back as we could find the data! Our chart below visualizes what we found. Generally speaking, with the exception of the period of World War 2, we find that the federal government used to be pretty well contained when it came to imposing new rules and regulations on the American people - at least, all the way up to 1970, when it appears to have undergone a bureaucratic explosion. Here, the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency appears to have been the impetus for unleashing unprecedented waves of new rules and regulations affecting nearly every aspect of American life all throughout the next decade. That changed in the 1980s, as the number of new rules and regulations being issued each year was brought under control. In the 1990s though, the number of federal regulations began creeping steadily upward. In the first decade of the twenty-first century though, the amount of new rules and regulations issued each year was largely stable. That changed with the financial crisis of 2008, which saw new rules and regulations issued by the federal government spike in that year, but which abated with the waning of the crisis in 2009 as the number of pages issued to the Federal Register fell. In 2010 however, President Obama cranked up the federal government's regulation mill to all time highs, keeping it there at least through 2011. Wayne Crews' data for 2010 through 24 July 2012 indicates that the federal government is currently on pace to issue at least 76,300 pages of new rules and regulations this year, but we suspect the actual figure will be much larger. The reason why is because of ObamaCare, where the recent Supreme Court decision allowing the law to go into effect will require the federal government to issue a very large number of new rules and regulations before next year: With the Supreme Court giving President Obama's new health care law a green light, federal and state officials are turning to implementation of the law -- a lengthy and massive undertaking still in its early stages, but already costing money and expanding the government. The Health and Human Services Department "was given a billion dollars implementation money," Republican Rep. Denny Rehberg of Montana said. "That money is gone already on additional bureaucrats and IT programs, computerization for the implementation." "Oh boy," Stan Dorn of the Urban Institute said. "HHS has a huge amount of work to do and the states do, too. There will be new health insurance marketplaces in every state in the country, places you can go online, compare health plans." The IRS, Health and Human Services and many other agencies will now write thousands of pages of regulations -- an effort well under way: "There's already 13,000 pages of regulations, and they're not even done yet," Rehberg said. We anticipate that most of the new rules and regulations related to the implementation of ObamaCare will be issued after the 6 November 2012 election, mainly to avoid drawing an even more negative response from voters beforehand. So add that to your fiscal cliff to worry about in 2013! Data Sources Crews, Wayne. Ten Thousand Commandments. Federal Register Pages, 1936-Present [ Google Docs Spreadsheet]. Accessed 24 July 2012.
