There are now TWO excellent new books on immigration, both of which I am scrambling to review: In Mortal Danger: The Battle for America’s Border and Security, by Congressman Tom Tancredo; and State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America by Patrick J. Buchanan. I’ll post as soon as I can…but go ahead and buy them anyway.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair is swinging through California over the next few days, and the sidebar events are getting pretty bizarre [Blair to join galaxy of stars at Pebble Beach, San Franciso Chronicle, 7/29/06].

But after that address, Blair and Clinton have added an event: They’re expected to be at UCLA when London Mayor Ken Livingstone and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa sign a city-to-city agreement on reducing greenhouse gases, sources said.

FYI, London’s Mayor is known as Red Ken for his Marxist beliefs. In addition, he is notable for his fondness for radical Islam and hatred of America.

As we know, Mayor Vile, er Villaraigosa is an ardent Mexican reconquista, a political movement that has caused the population of southern California to explode with millions of uninvited Mexicans, plus a diversitude of others.

So it is mind boggling that Mayor Vile of all people (!) says he wants to reduce greenhouse gases, when overpopulation in industrialized countries is a major cause of excessive hydrocarbons being flung into the atmosphere. And Los Angeles practically invented smog with its millions of cars spewing out airborne crud.

If the Mayor wanted to reduce greenhouse gases from Los Angeles, he could repatriate illegal Mexicans back to their low-tech, earth-friendly villages.

Furthermore, the idea that two Marxist mayors lose any sleep about the health of the planet is absurd on steroids. Publicity sluts like Livingston and Villaraigosa will do anything for a photo op, no matter how ridiculous the concept.

About this joker, Naveed Afzal Haq - what I have NOT seen or heard is that Haq’s attack was strictly on women working in a Jewish-affiliated business - could it be the what-should-be-well-known-by-now Islamic male attitude toward women–beating, genital mutilation, etc–played a part?

[Vdare.com note: The LA Times today has a story about Haq, in which his family and friends, i.e., other Muslims, make the same suggestion.
"Law enforcement authorities, Haq's friends and his parents' friends all said Saturday that Haq's inner motivations remained a mystery. Some speculated he might have sought to cloak an animus toward women by acting as a self-appointed warrior against Israel or against Jews." (Friends Had No Idea He Was Violent)

As our reader points out, either way, it's a consequence of mass Muslim immigration. Compare the Montreal Massacre, where a Muslim killer's identity was cloaked, (by the media) behind his animus towards women.]
