Border incident

U.S. murder suspects arrested in shootout at B.C. border -- "Officials say Ishtiaq Hussain, 38, and Jose Antonio Barajas, 22, are now in custody. One of the suspects was wounded in a shootout with police." CBC, 25 Jan 2006

A police chase that closed the Peace Arch border crossing south of Vancouver B.C., ended in the arrest of two men wanted in California on murder charges following a shootout.

The incident on Tuesday night temporarily closed the Canada-U.S. border, and caused dozens of Canadian guards to walk off the job, fearing for their safety. [....]

The socialist Michelle Bachelet has been elected president of Chile and is being hailed not only as that nation’s first female leader but as a victim of Augusto Pinochet, whose 1973 military coup toppled Salvador Allende. In left-wing legend, Allende was an independent Marxist and patriot, also a martyr done in by Nixon and the CIA. That legend will now have to be scrapped, thanks to an important work that has drawn little attention.

The World Was Going Our Way: The KGB and the Battle for the Third World (Basic Books) is the recently published second volume of revelations from the archive that Soviet intelligence officer Vasili Mitrokin smuggled to the West in 1992. The volume does not mention Michelle Bachelet, who doubtless has a KGB file from her time in East Germany – a rather strange place for an alleged independent democrat to take refuge – but there is plenty about Salvador Allende. His KGB code name was LEADER, and the Soviets considered him their most important asset after Fidel Castro. [. . . . ]

Note the new leader and governing power in Bolivia and the talk of nationalization and connections with China and Venezuela ... perhaps nothing worth considering there



The new Nazis by Klaus Rohrich, Thursday, January 19, 2006. Worth reading -- Iran, Nukes, Jews.

Yesterday I wrote about the impotence that the world is showing through the UN in the face of Iran developing an Islamic nuclear weapon. There is a powerful historical parallel between the 1930s and today. [. . . . ]

The Lebanese-based terror organization Hizbullah is supported by Iran to the tune of US$100 million per year. $10 million also made its way last year from Iran to the Islamic Jihad.

The data on Iranian support for Lebanese and Palestinian Authority-based terrorist organizations was revealed by Defense Minister Sha'ul Mofaz Saturday night, in a lecture he delivered at the annual Herzliya Conference. Mofaz noted that on Friday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad held talks in Damascus with representatives of Hizbullah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine during a visit he paid to Syrian dictator Bashar Al-Assad.

China shuts down newspaper supplement Audra Ang, AP, Jan. 25, 06

The 11-year-old publication had become a must-read among China’s educated elite, running penetrating articles on topical issues such as a chemical spill that polluted a major river last year. Its closure reflects growing tensions between the Chinese leadership and media outlets that have been pushing the limits of official tolerance in part to capture greater market share.

Staff at Bing Dian — which means “Freezing Point” — expressed bewilderment with the closure. “It’s so unfair,” said a woman in the Bing Dian office who declined to give her name because of the sensitivity of the situation. “It’s hard to tell how long this will last but we were told it can be resumed ‘after improvements.”’[. . . . ]
