I’ve Moved!

November 20, 2008

So I’m sure that most people have noticed that the site has been offline for a few days. There’s a reason for that, which I will get to shortly. But first, let me just say this:

I AM NO LONGER BLOGGING HERE

In fact, I am blogging at a new site I have just finished setting up: kennethhynek.net. A full explanation for the reasons behind the move can be found here.

That said, this is not the end of . My wife has expressed interest in taking over blogging at this domain, and I am working to make sure that she gets set up here as soon as possible.

Also, my profound apologies for the modification to the site face; the move was not as seamless as I would have hoped, and many of the image files for this theme, and in the gallery, were corrupted during the course of their evacuation from my previous web host’s servers. Until such time as I have repaired them, I’ve put a clean-looking template in place of the previous one.

Update: for the purposes of further traffic shaping, new posts from kennethhynek.net will be excerpted below. Full articles can be read at the new blog.

…find an anti-Semite.

It really is amazing how frequently the blood libel makes appearences in the advertising and rhetoric of the Left.

The irony is too good to miss:

The has come out strongly against the Canadian government’s decision, supported by the , to not participate in any way with the upcoming UN-sponsored II conference on . The position of the Conservative government, supported by the NDP, is that Durban II is shaping up to be an exercise in the most vile and repellent , as was experienced by the Canadian delegation that attended the Durban I conference in 2001.

The CAF has every right to take a different position. But to call an ophobe who is contemptuous of Arabs and of Islam?

But then president , who has all sorts of links with the , declares anyone who sympathizes with to be guilty complicit in war crimes.

Mouammar was embroiled in the   leadership campaign, when in an attempt to derail ’s campaign, Mouammar was linked to the infamous “Jew flyer”:

In addition to targeting Bob Rae, Khaled Mouammar went after Gerard Kennedy for being too friendly to Jews:

Kennedy criticizes Hizbollah and Hamas, and so earns the enmity of Khaled Mouammar.

Only leadership candidates (who declared Israeli actions during the 2006 war in to be war crimes) and were spared being called stooges for Israel by Mouammar.

The bottom line is that anyone who expresses support for Israel is a criminal, according to Khaled Mouammar, as he explained in a letter to the Globe and Mail in December 2006.

As noted previously, I couldn’t be happier that is skipping out on the next Durban conference. Although in theory, Durban is supposed to be about combatting racism on a global scale, in practice it became (back in 2001) an exercise in the very thing it supposedly existed to condemn, and there’s little doubt that it will once again turn into just that sort of shameful farce.

And if Canada’s refusal to participate in Durban annoys and/or angers the likes of Khaled Mouammar, then that’s just icing on an already delicious cake.

Update: Welcome, BlazingCatFur readers!

Are Canada’s “Human Rights” Commissions just slo-mo Kristallnachts?

Ezra Levant (who happens to be Jewish) is hauled before the Alberta HRC, accused by a radical Muslim of “Islamophobia” for printing the “Mohammed” cartoons. (Don’t miss Levant’s stirring opening statement to the kangaroo court…)

Mark Steyn (who half the world thinks is Jewish, but isn’t) also faces HRC charges for “Islamophobia”, brought by Muslims.

(Steyn, Michael Coren and — judging by my inbox, me — are regularly mistaken for Jews by people who don’t like us. I’m still convinced the three of us and those similarly honored should start wearing little yellow question marks on our lapels, maybe with the German word for “Huh?” written on them in black Teutonic lettering…)

Now, usually I’m content to leave the dubious dot-connecting and hyperbolic historical/Holocaust similes to the Left, but hey: what’s good for the doofus, huh?

Of course, if you follow my thought-experiment “Kristallnacht” metaphor to its logical conclusion, that makes these beligerent Muslim accusers and their HRC enablers, not the victim/heroes they play in their fever-brained scenarios of glory –

but the Brown Shirts.

Oddly enough!
