Chihuahua, Mexico, Dance Hall: Really Tough Music Critic Music Critic Kills 9, Wounds 10

By Nicholas Stix

Note than when the title of the story below says “5 norteño musicians,” it is referring to musicians who are members of a narcoterrorist drug gang (“norteños,” as in “Northerners”) who play “narcocorridos,” which are songs glorifying the gang. Bands that belong to gangs and that routinely play “narcocorridos” are the norm in Mexico, as is the glorification of cut-throats and, increasingly, the extension of gang wars to killing musicians.

Thus, when the article says, “Norteño singers in Mexico have been targeted before apparently for getting involved with drug cartels who pay them to compose narcocorridos, or ballads that glorify drug lords,” unless the designation “norteño” means something very different down there than it does up here, the singers are not “getting involved with drug cartels,” but that drug cartels are the reason for their very existence.

Note further that the unsigned story called what the drug gangsters were playing, “popular norteño music.” Since the music exists solely as “Northerner” propaganda, it can only be popular to the degree that wide swathes of the public embrace the terrorist “Northerners.” Obviously, there are some vocal dissenters to said embrace.

(Note the parallels to rap/hip-hop, in which awful “music” and crime are both the expressions of a “culture” which one must embrace, or be called a “hater” (racist) or “Uncle Tom.” East Coast and West Coast rappers have been known to kill each other in rap wars, and rappers are often affiliated with racist black gangs and black supremacist crime cults such as the Five Percenters and the Nation of Islam. Rap/hip-hop’s defenders assert that those who find such alleged music execrable may not criticize it, because they have failed to embrace the culture from which it springs. Thus, in their world, rational criticism is impossible. There is only what Carl Schmitt called “the friend-enemy relationship” (“das Freund-Feind-Verhältnis”).

In America’s Anglo-Christian tradition, which is being buried a little deeper daily under the blessings of diversity, “dissent” entails something like saying, “I think your music sucks.” The target of the insult might then respond, “Your mother wears army boots!” or “Says a guy with two tin ears!” End of story. In Mexico, “dissent” entails something like, “Bang! Bang! You’re dead, and so are the friends you came in with! (To the corpses) Oh, and your music sucks, too!”

This is the world that both racial socialists like the John Doe calling himself “Barack Obama” and globalist Republicans want to replace America with.

5 norteño musicians, 4 others killed in Mexico
Associated Press/El Paso Times
February 4, 2012, 10:53:32 a.m. MST

MEXICO CITY (AP) - Mexican authorities say a masked man opened fire against a band playing popular norteño music in a Chihuahua city dance hall, killing five musicians, four customers and injuring 10 others.

Chihuahua prosecutors spokesman Carlos Gonzalez says the attack appeared to target members of the La Quinta Banda music group but the motive behind the early Saturday shooting wasn't clear. The suspect fired around 40 times with a high-caliber weapon in the Far West disco.

Among the dead was an off-duty police woman, Gonzalez said.

Norteño singers in Mexico have been targeted before apparently for getting involved with drug cartels who pay them to compose narcocorridos, or ballads that glorify drug lords.

Nameless Woman Accuses Greg Kelly, Co-Host of Fox’ Good Day New York, and Son of Legendary Current NYPD Commissioner, Ray Kelly, of Rape

  New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly and Greg Kelly at the 32nd Annual New York City Police Foundation Gala at The Waldorf-Astoria on March 16, 2010.

Nicholas Stix, Uncensored

Call it the curse of Jodi Applegate! Back in 2008, Fox5NY dumped Jodi Applegate, the beautiful, brilliant, magnetic host of Good Day NY, and replaced her with the team of the station’s 20-year-reporting and news reading veteran Rosanna Scotto, and Greg Kelly, who was a non-entity to me. It soon became clear to me that he is the son of NYPD Commish Ray Kelly—Greg looks like a younger, larger version of Ray. (Applegate had a co-host, but he was forgettable, and so I ... forgot him.)

I liked Greg Kelly from the start, always liked Rosanna Scotto, and the two have good chemistry, in the Regis-Kathie Lee/Kelly mold. He never talked about women in his life, which had me wondering whether he liked girls.

With that said, I have never had any dealings, professional or personal with any of the aforementioned personalities.

This is a classic “he said, she said,” with the exception of the three months the accuser waited to press charges.

Ray Kelly is a New York City legend: The milkman’s son who made good. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps in the War in Vietnam, joined the New York City Police Department almost 50 years ago (he was permitted to put off joining the Police Academy to serve in the Marines), graduated first in his class, work days as a cop, while going to law school at night, and piled up impressive degrees. He was appointed Commish in 1992 by black socialist Mayor David Dinkins. When the incompetent, racist Dinkins was defeated after one disastrous term in 1993 by Rudy Giuliani, Kelly was hired to run the U.S. Customs Service. Mayor Michael Bloomberg then brought him back, in 2002, making him the first New York City police commissioner ever to do two separate hitches.

In his second hitch, Kelly has been New York City’s top cop for 10 years. He has been rumored to be considering running for mayor, to succeed Bloomberg, who is in his third and last term, and his name has also been bandied about as a possible successor to Robert Mueller as FBI director. The rape accusation could cost Ray Kelly the mayoralty.

Greg Kelly followed in his dad’s footsteps into the Marine Corps, where he was a fighter pilot for nine years, between the War in Kuwait and the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He then went into journalism.

The anonymous accuser claims that she and Greg Kelly met on the street on Saturday, October 8, went out to the swanky South Street Seaport for drinks, and she brought him back to the closed law office where she works, where she worked, and where he raped her.

According to her boyfriend, she has been a wreck ever since, and the boyfriend reportedly confronted the elder Kelly at a police function at some point. The alleged victim only went to the authorities a week ago; the investigation is being handled by the Manhattan DA’s Office, due to the NYPD’s conflict of interest.

At the New York Post, readers support Greg Kelly at a rate of at least 20-1, with almost all of them—men and women alike—believing that the accuser got caught cheating by her boyfriend, and concocted the story, in order to look good in his eyes, and/or that this is a shakedown.

The fishiest part of the accuser’s story is the part where she invites Kelly up to her locked office on a Saturday night. For what possible reason would a woman invite a strange man she’d just met and been drinking with to her locked office? I’ve been out of circulation for a long time, but I wasn’t always married.

But as one poster observed, Kelly’s toast. If he manages to beat the rap, he’ll still have to leave town, and maybe find a new profession. Unless…

Another New York City morning host, ABC’s Steve Bartelstein (who co-hosted with Lori Stokes), was accused nine years ago by two separate men of stalking them, but he just kept coming to work, as if everything were copacetic, and his lawyer made the charges “go away.” But Bartelstein had an incalculable advantage over Kelly: He was gay. And so, Bartelstein wasn’t fired until he slept through a scheduled newsbreak in his office one day.

NYPD Commissioner's son being investigated for allegedly raping woman
By Jamie Schram Police Bureau Chief

New York Post

[N.S.: Greg Kelly’s employer, Fox 5 New York, and the New York Post both belong to NewsCorp, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch.]

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly’s newsman son, Greg, is being investigated for allegedly raping a woman, law-enforcement sources told The Post early today.

The woman filed an official complaint Tuesday against the younger Kelly, claiming the co-host of Fox 5’s “Good Day New York” attacked her last October, the sources said.

The allegation is being investigated by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office because of the inherent conflict of interest in an NYPD probe, according to the sources.

Greg Kelly’s lawyer, Andrew Lankler, said his client “strenuously denied” the allegation.

“Mr. Kelly is aware that the New York County District Attorney’s Office is conducting an investigation,” Lankler told The Post.

“Mr. Kelly strenuously denies any wrongdoing of any kind, and is cooperating fully with the district attorney’s investigation. We know the district attorney’s investigation will prove Mr. Kelly’s innocence.”

A police spokesman referred all questions to the Manhattan DA. A spokeswoman for DA Cyrus Vance Jr. declined comment.

Rosanna Scotto, Kelly's "Good Day New York" co-host, said "I love Greg, that's all I can say."

Kelly was absent from this morning's program.

The woman, in her late 20s or early 30s, went to the 13th Precinct station house with her sister sometime after 8 p.m. Tuesday to file the complaint, sources said. She told police she met Greg Kelly, 43, on a street Oct. 8 and they went for drinks at the South Street Seaport, the sources said.

Then, she claimed, they went to the lower Manhattan law firm where she works — it was not clear if she’s a lawyer— and the alleged assault took place there.

Greg Kelly and the woman continued to communicate after the alleged incident, according to the sources.

She told police her boyfriend got furious when she related her story to him, and he approached the police commissioner at a public event.

It wasn’t immediately clear when that was.

The boyfriend told Ray Kelly that Greg had sexually assaulted the woman and that the alleged attack had “ruined my girlfriend’s life,” according to The Post’s sources.

The commissioner, hoping to prevent a scene at a public event, told the man to write him a letter, the sources said.

It wasn’t immediately clear if that letter was ever written.

It’s also not clear why the accuser waited three months to make an official report.

A close friend of the alleged victim told ABC News that the woman has been “an emotional cripple” since the incident.

The friend added that the boyfriend picked the accuser up at her office after the alleged attack and, “she was distraught.”

A spokeswoman for Fox 5 did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Greg Kelly began as co-anchor of “Good Day” in July 2008.

Prior to his stint on the morning program, he worked at Fox News Channel, where he was a White House reporter from 2005 to 2007.

He also served as a war correspondent during the Iraq invasion in 2003.

He earlier worked as a reporter for the NY1 cable news network, where he covered politics and the attacks on 9/11.

Before entering journalism, he served as a fighter pilot in the Marines for nine years.

During his service, he flew over Iraq, enforcing the United Nations-imposed “No-Fly Zone.”

He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in political science from Fordham University.

Where Does an Ice Cream Vendor Allegedly Try to Kill a Customer? In The Diversity Zone, That’s Where!

By Nicholas Stix

In Albuquerque, Ice Cream Vendor from Hell Elias Montano Has No Change, and Allegedly Tries to Kill Customer Jose Chavez, Who was Buying Treats for His Family of Seven

Jose Chavez: “He pulls a pocket out of his knife.” Wife Crichelle Chavez: “You just realize you don't know who anyone is. [You sure don’t, Mrs. Chavez; not in The Diversity Zone.] It's a business for children.”

Methinks we will find issues in Elias Montano’s past: Violent crime, and possibly that he is a criminal invader. Of course, given the Chavezes’ casual relationship to the English language, they may well be invaders, too, and with five little anchors, but at least they try to speak English—when they have no choice. (At least KOAT didn’t automatically send a Hispanic reporter to cover a story involving Hispanics.)

 

Police: Knife-Wielding Ice Cream Vendor Attacks Family

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Albuquerque police said they arrested an ice cream man after he tried to attack a customer with a knife.

The incident happened in northeast Albuquerque over the weekend.

The sound of an ice cream truck brings joy to many, but it’s a tune that the Chavez family doesn’t want to hear any time soon.

“I won’t look at an ice cream truck the same way,” father Jose Chavez said.

The family of seven rushed outside on Sunday, got a few ice creams from a truck passing by and then handed over $20 to the man and the woman running the operation. But there was a problem.

“They didn’t have change,” Chavez said.

When the family tried to return the ice creams, a couple of which the kids had unwrapped, police said Elias Montano jumped out of the truck.

“You’re a business and you’re supposed to have change and he jumps out and pulls the knife out of his pocket and comes rushing at me,” Chavez said.

The family got away safely. When police showed up, they arrested Montano for the attempted knife attack.

“My heart just started pounding. I just rounded up the kids and got inside,” mother Crichelle Chavez said. “You just realize you don't know who anyone is. It's a business for children.”

According to the criminal complaint, witnesses backed up Chavez’s story. Montano was booked for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Activist Federal Judge Sandbags Alabama Immigration Law: She Needs More Time for Her DOJ/White House Masters to Draft Sophistic Pretext

Alabama Immigration Law Blocked by Federal Judge
By Jay Reeves, AP, August 29, 2011, 4 P.M. ET.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A federal judge temporarily blocked enforcement of Alabama’s new law cracking down on illegal immigration, ruling Monday that she needed more time to decide whether the law opposed by the Obama administration, church leaders and [N.S.: illegal] immigrant-rights groups is constitutional.

The brief order by U.S. District Judge Sharon L. Blackburn means the law – which opponents and supporters alike have called the toughest in the nation – won’t take effect as scheduled on Thursday. The ruling was cheered both by Republican leaders who were pleased the judge didn’t gut the law and by opponents who compare it to old Jim Crow-era statutes against racial integration.

Blackburn didn’t address whether the law is constitutional, and she could still let all or parts of the law take effect later. Instead, she said she needed more time to consider lawsuits filed by the Justice Department, private groups and individuals that claim the state is overstepping its bounds.

The judge said she will issue a longer ruling by Sept. 28, and her temporary order will remain in effect until the day after. She heard arguments from the Justice Department and others during a daylong hearing last week.

Similar laws have been passed in Arizona, Utah, Indiana and Georgia. Federal judges already have blocked all or parts of the laws in those states.

Among other things, the law would require schools to verify the citizenship status of students, but it wouldn’t prevent illegal immigrants from attending public schools.

The law also would make it a crime to knowingly assist an illegal immigrant by providing them a ride, a job, a place to live or most anything else – a section that church leaders fear would hamper public assistance ministries. It also would allow police to jail suspected illegal immigrants during traffic stops.

Finding a way to curtail public spending that benefits illegal immigrants has been a pet project of Alabama conservatives for years. Census figures released earlier this year show the state’s Hispanic population more than doubled over a decade to 185,602 last year, and supporters of the law contend many of them are in the country illegally.

Isabel Rubio, executive director of the Hispanic Interest Coalition of Alabama, which is among the groups that sued over the law, hopes Blackburn will block it entirely but was happy with the temporary reprieve.

“We are pleased that Judge Blackburn is taking more time to study the case,” she said.

Republican Gov. Robert Bentley said he would continue to defend the law, and GOP leaders in the House and Senate praised Blackburn – a Republican appointee – for taking time to fully consider the law.

“We must remember that today’s ruling is simply the first round in what promises to be a long judicial fight over Alabama’s right to protect its borders,” said House Majority Leader Micky Hammon of Decatur. “To put it in sports terms, it is the first half-inning of the first game of a seven-game World Series.”

While the Obama administration contends the state law conflicts with federal immigration law, state Sen. Scott Beason, R-Gardendale, contends the federal government isn’t doing its job enforcing immigration laws. Beason said that he spent years researching immigration law to help write the 70-plus page law, and that it’s unrealistic to expect a judge to go through it all in a few days.

“You just can’t do that,” he said.

John Kass, Rahm Emanuel, and the Chicago Way

By Nicholas Stix
November 11, 2008, 10:36 a.m.
VDARE

“It took only 36 hours for President-elect Barack Obama to take the off ramp from the Change We Can Believe In Highway and slam his foot on the gas in the express lanes of the Chicago Way,” is how Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass opens his November 7 column. The “Chicago Way” is Kass’ shorthand for the Windy City’s corrupt machine-and-mob-riddled politics, which has been run, with a 13-year intermission, following the death of the current mayor’s father, for 53 years by the Daleys.

Kass, a child of Chicago’s working class, is the closest thing there is to a spiritual heir to Mike Royko (1932-1997). The working-class, Polish-Lithuanian Chicagoan, who never attended college, but who did his post-doctoral research at the Billy Goat saloon, was the greatest newspaperman in Chicago, and maybe in American history.

Kass is a royal pain in the neck to “Mayordaley,” the son, as Royko was to “Da Mayor,” the father. Granted, Kass is a Republican, whereas Royko was an Orthodox Democrat, but times have changed. The anti-white racism of today’s Democratic Party can no more be reconciled with the party of Royko’s youth, when it was working-class whites’ political home, than today’s politically correct, Evian-drinking, middle/upper-middle class, anti-military, anti-white racist (even if the majority of the staffers are white), smoke-free, tolerant newsroom can be reconciled with the smoke-filled, hard-drinking, working-class, veteran-filled newsroom of Royko’s glory days.

“[W]ith his first official act, Obama selected a Chicago Daley machine guy for his chief of staff,

U.S. Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Tomczak).

So much for transcending politics as we know it, eh?…

Among Chicago politicians, the Emanuel announcement was treated with enthusiasm. But it was enthusiasm of the political salivary gland at the prospect of federal pork and leverage.

“It’s a gain,” said Mayor Richard Daley, speculating on all the contracts he would be able to give with new federal money. “It’s a real gain, gain, gain,” he said, repeating the word as if in prayer….

From Washington, however, you could hear that giant sucking sound as the Washington media praised Emanuel, as if the appointment was testament to change. There was so much sucking up, they may have created an El Niño effect that will plague our planet for years.

Some of the sucking up is understandable because their currency is access and, as chief of staff, Emanuel will be gatekeeper to the president. But the least they could have done was rate themselves NC-17. And they could have acknowledged what they were doing, which was praising him to their readers and viewers in hopes of maintaining or guaranteeing that access.

Washington media types talk about him as a Clinton guy, but Emanuel is really a Chicago City Hall guy. At City Hall, the unwritten rule is we don’t want nobody nobody sent. The guy who sent Emanuel to then-candidate Bill Clinton in 1991 is named Daley. Bill Daley, the mayor’s brother.

Loyal readers know why I put the (D-Tomczak) at the end of Emanuel’s name. It refers to the corrupt Daley administration Water Department boss, Donald Tomczak, now in federal prison in Duluth, Minn. He sits there because he was convicted of bribery. Emanuel didn’t have anything to do with that. But he was a political beneficiary of Tomczak and the Chicago Way.

Two years ago, at the federal trial of Mayor Daley’s patronage chiefs—who were eventually convicted for building an illegal political army of city patronage workers to maintain the mayor’s control on Chicago—Tomczak was a key witness.

And he testified that he was ordered to put his political regiments on the streets in 2002 to elect Emanuel and defeat a liberal Democratic grass-roots candidate.[“Emanuel pick shows change is state of mind,” by John Kass, Chicago Tribune, November 7, 2008.

What I don’t get is why some people see a conflict between Obama’s socialism and his corruption. The political economy of socialism has always involved the corrupt enrichment of cronies, and the stealing from the productive and giving to the unproductive, while the economy shrivels up. And racial socialism is the most extreme socialism of all. Obama is just being a good racial socialist!

Fairfax County, Virginia Police Seek Serial Slasher

By Nicholas Stix

 

 

The videos posted in this blog entry are all about the Hispanic “serial butt slasher” who has been attacking young women (18-early 20s) in Fairfax County, Virginia shopping malls. The mope has been described as Hispanic, 5’6,” heavyset, and in his late 20s.

Courtesy of the Fairfax County Police, which both posted and disavowed the above video at Youtube, make of that, what you will.

Report Posted by the Fairfax County Police, Together with the FCP’s Bizarre Disclaimer

Serial cutter suspect from the Marshall's incident, Greenbriar Shopping Center, June 20, 2011.

Police are investigating reports of a man who follows young women in retail stores, cuts them and slips away. Most recently, officers responded to the Forever XXI Store in Fair Oaks Mall Monday, July 25 around 5:30 p.m. for a report of a woman who suffered a one and a half inch wound in her buttocks.

The 18-year-old victim was shopping when she noticed clothes that had fallen off of a rack behind her and saw a man bending down to pick them up. She abruptly felt a sharp pain and considered that one of the hangars had struck her. A short time later, she discovered her denim shorts had been slashed; her buttocks had been cut and were bleeding. Store employees quickly contacted security who summonsed police.

Detectives indicate that this attack may be linked to four others that have taken place in Fairfax County retail stores since February. The most recent case occurred in a Marshall's at Greenbriar Shopping Center on June 20 around 2:45 p.m.

In each case, the suspect distracts his victim before cutting them. The victims have all been teen-aged women or in their early 20s.

The suspect is described as hispanic, late 20s, around 5 feet 6 inches tall and heavy-set. He wore white shorts and a short-sleeved shirt in the July 25 assault.

Two black interviewees figure prominently in the reports of John Schriffen of News 4, NBC’s Washington, D.C. affiliate, that follow below. One is a middle-aged female shopper who remarks, “He just looks like a common shopper.”

In Guadalajara, maybe, lady!

 

 

Thanks to TheUlidian02.

The other interviewee is Ted Williams, a black former police detective who performs as an “expert” and “profiler” on TV, not to be confused with the eponymous homeless ex-con with the golden pipes, or the partially cryogenically preserved Splendid Splinter.

If John Schriffen wanted to help the public, he would have reported on what racial or ethnic type of young woman the slasher targets. As the police well know, these sorts of criminals rarely work randomly, though “random” seems to be lawmen’s favorite word these days. The mopes usually have a type. Perhaps it was attractive, shapely, young white females, like most of the girls Schriffen interviewed. God forbid, we should protect the public!

I’m just a dumb white guy, so what do I know, but what does one say about someone (Williams) who would play expert, while claiming that a quiet little Spanish slasher operates from the same motive (“attention”) as a genocidal, racist (Nation of Islam) serial murderer who, with his young protégé, sought to kill scores of whites and extort millions of dollars from the authorities?

I need to put in a break, before returning to earth from Bizarro World.

* * *

My guess is that the mope is using a short-edged box cutter, because you can practically palm one, whip it out, push out the blade (I’m going from memory here, from having used them for my magazines almost 20 years ago), slash a woman, pull the blade switch back, and have it back in your pocket in one quick, smooth, move. This wouldn’t work with long-blade box cutters, because there’d be too much business to getting the blade extended and retracted at the beginning and end of the move, and too much danger of the slasher cutting himself (e.g., in his pocket) or being discovered. The slasher could also use a pocket knife, but again, no matter how smooth he is, that would take additional movements and time, causing more danger of injury and detection to him. This guy does the whole thing in two seconds or less. The bump is a pickpocket’s trick, to distract the vic from feeling what he’s doing to another part of her body.

My recommendation to local law enforcement is thus this:

1. Search databases for known or suspected Hispanic (likely) illegal aliens from the area fitting that description; 2. Search databases for known or suspected pickpockets (or purse snatchers) from the area fitting that description; and 3. Search databases for known or suspected “mashers” from the area fitting that description; and 4. Search databases for known or suspected butt slashers from outside the area fitting that description, who may have fled detection elsewhere.

“Masher” is a term I learned as a kid watching a comedy sketch on either the Jackie Gleason or Red Skelton variety show. It was already an old term, for something that was then considered obnoxious, but now can land you in jail for a good stretch, at least if you’re white.

My impression is that a “masher” is a man who crudely, obnoxiously harasses women he wants to sleep with, whether they be strangers on the street, acquaintances, or women he works with. While this type was once found among all racial and ethnic groups, today it’s found primarily in The Diversity Zone.

Scott Eyman gives a classic example of a masher in his grand biography of Louis B. Mayer, Lion of Hollywood. The example featured Spencer Tracy, who was co-starring in A Guy Named Joe with Van Johnson and Irene Dunne. During one scene, it seems Tracy whispered in Dunne’s ear what he’d like to do to and with her. In another, he came up behind her, rubbing his erect member against her.

Now, Irene Dunne, who was arguably the greatest actress to never win an Oscar, was by then a middle-aged, Tinseltown veteran who’d dealt with her share of Hollywood heels, and yet, she was every inch the lady. However, she was also worried because unlike Tracy, she was not under contract at MGM. Nevertheless, she went straight to L.B. Mayer and told him that she’d quit the picture, if he didn’t put the brakes on Tracy. Mayer put a stop to the nonsense right away, remarking to a third party, “If I’m firing anybody, I’m firing Tracy, not her.”

Eyman notes that this episode came when the married Tracy was deeply in love with his long-time mistress, Katharine Hepburn.

Not even on his worst day, however, would Spencer Tracy have even considered going around and slashing women’s behinds. And yet, in the scheme of vibrant Hispanic, and especially Mexican “culture,” with its celebration of crime in general, and violence against females of all ages in particular, that’s nothing.

Slashing strange females’ behinds? It’s a mild diversion … in The Diversity Zone.

By Nicholas Stix Thousands of racist, Moslem Somalis are presently busily destroying some of what were only a few years ago some of America’s most beautiful towns and cities: E.g., the Twin Cities, Lewiston, Maine.

But there are so many American municipalities that have still withstood the onslaught of “diversity,” and the Times’ moral and intellectual Superpersons simply cannot abide that. And so, they wish to inundate 1,000 or more additional communities with members of a nation that is in competition for the dubious distinction of being the world’s most primitive, barbaric, and evil.

Of course, the competition for that title is fierce, and pits Somalia up against the Democratic Republic of the Congo … and the Congo … and the Central African Republic … and the Ivory Coast … and Sierra Leone … and Mauritania … and Rwanda … and Burundi … and Angola … and Guinea … and Benin … and Kenya … and Niger… and Mauritius … and Cameroon … and Burkina Faso … and Mali … and Chad … and Cape Verde … and Tanzania … and Togo… and Botswana … and Swaziland … and Lesotho … and Djibouti… and Malawi … and Nigeria … and Eritrea … and Ethiopia … and Botswana … and Gambia … and Zambia … and Senegal … and Liberia … and Mozambique … and Zimbabwe … and South Africa.

Somalis Waste Away as Insurgents Block Escape from Famine By Jeffrey Gettleman and Mohammed Ibrahim August 1, 2011 New York Times

MOGADISHU, Somalia — The Shabab Islamist insurgent group, which controls much of southern Somalia, is blocking starving people from fleeing the country and setting up a cantonment camp where it is imprisoning displaced people who were trying to escape Shabab territory.

The group is widely blamed for causing a famine in Somalia by forcing out many Western aid organizations, depriving drought victims of desperately needed food. The situation is growing bleaker by the day, with tens of thousands of Somalis already dead and more than 500,000 children on the brink of starvation.

Every morning, emaciated parents with emaciated children stagger into Banadir Hospital, a shell of a building with floors that stink of diesel fuel because that is all the nurses have to fight off the flies. [N.S.: Considering the alternatives—feces, urine, and decaying corpses—it is ridiculous to try and emotionally exercise readers over the smell of diesel oil.] Babies are dying because of the lack of equipment and medicine. Some get hooked up to adult-size intravenous drips — pediatric versions are hard to find — and their compromised bodies cannot handle the volume of fluid.

Most parents do not have money for medicine, so entire families sit on old-fashioned cholera beds, with basketball-size holes cut out of the middle, taking turns going to the bathroom as diarrhea streams out of them.

“This is worse than 1992,” said Dr. Lul Mohamed, Banadir’s head of pediatrics, referring to Somalia’s last famine. “Back then, at least we had some help.”

Aid groups are trying to scale up their operations, and the United Nations has begun airlifting emergency food. But many seasoned aid officials are speaking in grim tones because one of Africa’s worst humanitarian disasters in decades has struck one of the most inaccessible countries on earth.

[But I thought the Sudan was “Africa’s worst humanitarian disaster[s] in decades.” And AIDS in Southern Africa. And the Congolese civil war. And Rwanda and Burundi. And …. And …. You get the idea. All of sub-Saharan Africa is such a constant disaster, since time immemorial, or at least since it threw out the white colonialists, that anyone who is paying attention, and not merely on the make, gets tired of the African aid hustle, and outraged, considering that it is being used, in order to destroy our own country. Note, in particular, that the African aid hustlers care about every one of “Africa’s worst humanitarian disasters,” except when whites are the victims, as they are in South Africa and Zimbabwe. Then the spigot of tears and compassion suddenly runs dry.]

Somalia, especially the southern third where the famine is, has been considered a no-go zone for years, a lawless caldron [sic] that has claimed the lives of dozens of aid workers, peacekeepers and American soldiers, going back to the “Black Hawk Down” battle in 1993, spelling a legacy that has scared off many international organizations.

“If this were Haiti, we would have dozens of people on the ground by now,” said Eric James, an official with the American Refugee Committee, a private aid organization.

But Somalia is considered more dangerous and anarchic than Haiti, Iraq or even Afghanistan, and the American Refugee Committee, like other aid groups, is struggling to get trained personnel here.

“It is safe to say that many people are going to die as a result of little or no access,” Mr. James said.

This leaves millions of famished Somalis with two choices, aside from fleeing the country to neighboring Kenya or Ethiopia, where there is more assistance. They can beg for help from a weak and divided transitional government in Mogadishu, the capital. Just the other day there was a shootout between government forces at the gates of the presidential palace. “Things happen,” was the response of Abdiweli Mohamed Ali, Somalia’s new prime minister.

Or they can remain in territory controlled by the Shabab, who have pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda [Your guys! So, you should be celebrating them!] and have tried to rid their areas of anything Western — Western music, Western dress, even Western aid groups during a time of famine.

Much of the Horn of Africa, which includes Kenya, Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Djibouti, has been struck this summer by one of the worst droughts in 60 years. But two Shabab-controlled parts of southern Somalia are the only areas where the United Nations has declared a famine, using scientific criteria of death and malnutrition rates.

People from those areas who were interviewed in Mogadishu say Shabab fighters are blocking rivers to steal water from impoverished villagers and divert it to commercial farmers who pay them taxes. The Shabab are intercepting displaced people who are trying to reach Mogadishu and forcing them to stay in a Shabab-run camp about 25 miles outside the city. The camp now holds several thousand people and receives only a trickle of food.

“I was taken off a bus and put here,” said a woman at the camp who asked not to be identified.

Several drought victims who have succeeded in making it to Mogadishu said that the Shabab were threatening to kill anyone who left their areas, either for refugee camps in Kenya and Ethiopia, or for government zones in Somalia, and that the only way out was to sneak away at night and avoid the main roads.

A few years ago, the Shabab began banning immunizations, deeming them a Western plot to kill Somali children. Now countless unvaccinated children are dying from measles and cholera as tens of thousands of malnourished, immunity-suppressed people flee the drought areas and pack into filthy, crowded camps.

The other day, Kufow Ali Abdi, a destitute herder who lost all his cattle, trudged out of Banadir Hospital, gently carrying a small package in his arms wrapped in blue cloth. It looked almost like a swaddled newborn but it was the opposite. It was the body of his 3-year-old daughter, Kadija, who had just succumbed to measles.

“I just hope they can save the others,” he said, referring to his two remaining children, down to skin and bone.

The magnitude of suffering could shift the political landscape, which has been dominated by chaos since 1991, when clan warlords overthrew the central government and then tore apart the country. [Although this isn’t on his tab—yet—this is also where “Obama’s” foreign policy of destabilization will lead, everywhere he imposes it.] The Transitional Federal Government — the 15th attempt at a government — is trying to assert itself and beat back the Shabab, and the famine and attendant relief effort could mean an enormous opportunity.

“It could be a face-lift for them, an opportunity to deliver services and show they are committed,” said Sheik Abdulkadir, a militia leader. “But if a lot of people die here, people will say it’s the government’s fault.”

The famine could affect the Shabab as well, deepening the fissures in their organization. Shabab leaders are now beginning to cut their own deals in the face of mass starvation. Unicef recently delivered a planeload of food and medicine to Baidoa, a Shabab stronghold. In Xarardheere, another Shabab-controlled town and a notorious pirate den, a Shabab commander said in an interview on Saturday that he would welcome Western aid organizations despite the anti-Western policies imposed by his leadership, which has been hit by the deaths of several prominent figures recently.

Sheik Yoonis, a Shabab spokesman, said in an e-mail that the declaration of a famine was “an exaggeration.” He said that Shabab fighters were not imprisoning people in the camp, but that the people were attracted to it by “this sense of serenity and security.” He also denied that the Shabab were diverting river water or scaring away aid agencies.

Still, many aid organizations are reluctant to venture into Shabab areas because of the obvious dangers — the Shabab have killed dozens of aid workers — and because of American government restrictions. In 2008, the State Department declared the Shabab a terrorist group, making it a crime to provide material assistance to them. Aid officials say the restrictions have had a chilling effect because it is nearly impossible to guarantee that the Shabab will not skim off some of the aid delivered in their areas. [What logical relation do the two last sentences have to one another? The Times reporters are insinuating that if only State hadn’t declared the Shabab a terrorist group, it wouldn’t have begun “skim[ing] off” aid, a baseless position that puts the cart before the horse. Surely, the Shabab were stealing aid before being declared a terrorist organization.]

Even United Nations contractors have been accused of siphoning food aid [surprise, surprise!], resulting in extensive investigations and cuts in life-saving assistance.

Western aid agencies are now trying to work through [crooked] Islamic and local organizations as much as possible, but the Somali [pirates] partners do not usually have as much technical expertise [and steal at least 50 percent of the assistance, which they variously take for themselves and sell on the black market]. And heavy fighting has erupted in Mogadishu again, making it dangerous even for Somali aid [thieves] workers.

“Somalia is one of the most [corrupt] complicated places in the world to deliver aid, more complicated than Afghanistan,” said Stefano Porretti, who heads the World Food Progam’s [sic] efforts in Somalia and recently worked in Afghanistan.
