Kissin’ Cousins?
By Mitch Berg
The Minnesota Monitor is a financial first cousin of Peruvian terrorists?
The Iron Matron at KAR has the story:
Found today at the Capital Research Center:
Mary Anastasia O’Grady writes in today’s Wall Street Journal that George Soros’s Open Society Institute has been funding terrorism. In a column entitled Friends of Terror in Peru, O’Grady notes that
Thursday’s vote by the European Parliament to take the Peruvian guerrilla group known as the Tupac Amaru (aka MRTA) off its terrorist list has Peru in an uproar. For good reason: The MRTA is notorious for kidnapping, torturing and murdering civilians to advance its political agenda. More recently, Peruvian officials have linked it to Hugo Chávez’s “Bolivarian Movement,” which seeks to destabilize democracies in Latin America, and to the Colombian rebel group FARC…
…Meanwhile the work of other foreign-funded NGOs in the interest of terrorist organizations warrants urgent attention. Take the Peruvian “human-rights” group Aprodeh, which labored in Europe to get the MRTA off the terrorist list there, even though Peru still considers it a grave threat to its security.
…In 2007, according to government records, Aprodeh received funding from Oxfam America, George Soros’s Open Society, the John Merck Foundation, the city of Barcelona, the Dutch embassy and a U.S. government agency called the Inter-American Foundation, among others. On Friday, the Peruvian government asked Aprodeh to explain how its NGO status allows it to intervene on behalf of terrorists, as it did in the European Parliament… [emphasis added]
Soros funds MN Monitor and Aprodeh?!???
Joe “Learned Foot” Tucci adds:
You forgot to close the circle!
(Don’t worry – I took a screengrab just in case).
The Center for “Independent” Media; a gift that just keeps on giving.

Geez, a large helping of hysterionics anyone.
BTW Mitch- on an actually important note..
Bomb deaths in Iraq hit a 7 month high.. when you put the cart before the horse, i.e. not getting political remedy, but assuming transient and far from certain neighborhood security will create political will – was a poor man’s bet, and frankly, a lousy distraction from the real problem. We’re no closer to meaningful progress with the Shiaa – and nothing about the surge made that change – and now, the patience of the Shiaa is wearing thin, as it was predicted to do by everyone except — tada , you neo-cons.
But hey, spend more time on this nonsense, it makes so much difference.

correction… US Deaths hit a 7 month high – apologies.

Peev is best served in limerick form:
Peev cares not for the topic at hand.
Instead, he’ll just opt to pound sand.
On a blog not his own,
He’ll just bitch and he’ll moan
It’s time, Mitch. Peev needs to be banned.
April 30th, 2008 at 11:01 am
Hey Peev? This isn’t your blog,
You obsessive, dipshit thread hog.
On Iraq, you’re myopic,
But that’s not the topic!
Your comments leave sane people agog.
April 30th, 2008 at 11:08 am
Mitch muses on terrorists in Peru
Enter Peev, sniffing copious glue
“But. . . but. . . Iraq!”
“Shiaa! Butt crack!”
It’s time to bid Peevish “adieu.”

Not only did you put the cart befor the houres by not noticing, the deaths in Iraq but you completely ignord the fact that Danika Patrick became, the first woman ever to win an Indey CAR race, what’s the matter, can’t handel a strong woman, in fact you have never talked about Indye racing AT ALL. While none of you Lileleputians know, as much about raceing as I do I think its INTERESTING that, Mitch, the BIG MISTER FEMINEST, hasn’t either ackoeleleddnged this and for that, matter, has never said that teenagers shoulden’t drive INDY CARS while armed at colledge. you wingnuts obveiously can’t see THE CONNECTION beetween this event and the spike in casusaltitees because at the end of the day your word, is all, methane.

If you should ever question your sanity,
Just come here and absorb Peev’s inanity.
You’ll gain fresh perspective
On a brain that’s defective
And you’ll appreciate well-placed profanity.

Let’s spend more time on more nonsense.. Iraq certainly didn’t cause us to take our eye’s off the ball..
April 30th, 2008 at 11:24 am
Peev puts the cart before the whores
Then pretends he knows shit about wars
Peev tuts and he tuts
And plays with his nuts
Barking, while kneeled on all fours.

BTW Mitch, while your lilliput friends may (or may already have) accuse me of hijacking, my reply, grow a pair and discuss Iraq and Afghanistan more regularly, and not just when some story can be conflated to try to spin it into something you like.
Otherwise, be ready to be met with utter ambivilance about the Peruvian’s outrage about the EU changing the definition of a group’s nature. You all are totally ambivilant to collateral deaths in Iraq, which number in the 10’s of thousands, but we should take seriously your hysterioncs about a group that has doubtless lead to dozens, even hundreds of deaths in Peru… I think maybe you (as you normally do) are chosing to use this as your ‘issue of the day’ but have about zero real concern or interest.. this is just a convenient pulpit, and you show little regard for the deaths of civilians whenever it’s in an area or war you either don’t care about or, in the case of Iraq, support.

For a guy who gets bent out of shape when he’s called on the carpet and claims folks are personally attacking him, Peev’s awfully quick to insult others.
April 30th, 2008 at 11:37 am
Discuss that which Peev doth implore
Think not upon things other than war
Blog not of your whims
But of Peev; just of him!
Write only what Peev wants, and nothing more.
April 30th, 2008 at 11:43 am
I live to personally attack Peev.
Hoping one day the shithead will leave
Then we’ll be free,
Of the comment banshee.
I know, I’m just being naive.
April 30th, 2008 at 11:45 am
Peev,
We’ve explained this to you a bajillion times. If you want to control the discussion, get your own blog. This is Mitch’s blog. He gets to decide what he wants to write about. Period. End of discussion. And try spell check – what in the Sam Hill is “hysterioncs?”
Mitch,
Good topic. MRTA are some very nasty people. I suspect that their victims throughout South America consider their activities relative and important, even if thread hijackers like Peev don’t care about their fate.
April 30th, 2008 at 11:53 am
I just bought an uber-sweet hysterioncs sound system for my car. You can really hear the hysters, and ioncs are clearer than ever.
April 30th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
In a just world: Peev comments? Deleted.
Also, Salma Hayek would be treated,
To my carnal gymnastics
Deemed by Salma: FANTASTIC
Witnessed by Peev, admitting himself quite defeated.

my reply, grow a pair and discuss Iraq and Afghanistan more regularly, and not just when some story can be conflated to try to spin it into something you like.
My reply – -pound sand up your ass!
I write about what I want to, when I want to. “Grow a pair” yourself and quit stomping your feet and screaming like a petulant two-year-old.
I have little to say about Iraq or Afghanistan at the moment that Michael Yon and Mike Roggio, Smash and Bill Ardolino aren’t saying much better. I refer you to each of them – and urge you to try your little know-it-all act in their comment sections (Yon’s former USSF; Roggio was a Marine; Smash was a Navy security guy who’s served a tour; Ardolino is a vet; all have spent plenty of time in Iraq – more, in Yon’s case, than most troops).

Good tip, Yoss! I wonder if that would be compatible with my under-dash 8-track player….
April 30th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Mitch, you are going to save all the limericks to an easily retrevable archive? Right? Would sure hate to see them disappear into the wastebin.
As far as MRTA – left’s fascination with and appeasement of socialist/communist terrorists knows no bounds.
April 30th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
I would rather chew broken glass
Or ingest Zyklon B as a gas
Would rather eat turds,
Have my sac pecked by birds
Then watch Peev pound sand up his ass.
April 30th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
D’OH!
“THAN watch Peev pouns sand up his ass.”
April 30th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
That one letter makes a big difference, Yoss – the difference between a stirring statement of purpose in limerick form and a really bad weekend.
April 30th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
Best hijacked comment section. Ever.
April 30th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
really bad weekend
What happens in Vegas. . .
April 30th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Open invitation:
Once you grow up (and lighten up), Peev, we’ll be here to have a conversation with you.
Until then, we hope you find a comfortable chair, if you know what I mean.
April 30th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
Peev, you magnificent imbecile.

[…] Andy Birkey at the MRTA Monitor writes a piece to lend propaganda support to a DFL “medical pot” bill in the Legislature (I add emphasis): Iron Range resident K.K. Forss has found medical marijuana to be a substantial relief for pain he suffers as the result of a disc that burst in his neck. The self-described registered Republican and born-again Christian uses marijuana for pain he says is constant and debilitating. […]
