NEW AGE VAMPIRE RULES










1. I will not pick off friends, family or neighbors of the Hero one at a time. This annoys the Hero and drives him into action. They'll still be there when he is dead.

2. There are thousands of sick people who want to be vampires. Why pick someone who doesn't?

3. The Hero will come armed with holy water, a cross and a stake. I will come armed with a 5.56 mm assault rifle and grenades. If the Hero has to cross open ground, there is no better way to reach out and touch someone than with a sniper rifle.

4. When biting women to make them slaves, I will bite them in out-of- the-way locations such as the inside of the thigh, the lower part
of the breast or other location not requiring painfully obvious
alteration of clothing or ridiculous accessories to conceal.

5. I will equip my home with a marvelous device called a burglar alarm
with an automatic dialer. It will be difficult for the Hero to kill me while under arrest for attempted breaking and entering.

6. My coffin will be concealed and will be a plain wooden box. The elaborate oak coffin with gold trim resting in the basement will be
equipped with claymores [mines] designed to shred the body of anyone who opens it.

7. I will wear a watch and verify what time sunrise is every day.

8. The formal attire with cape will be reserved for special occasions. Jeans and a t-shirt will be fine for everyday wear as they are less
noticeable.

9. I will wear _white_ clothing, which does not set off my pallor as obviously as black.

10. If I can't avoid wearing black all the time, and acting wierd, I will go to bars which cater to that sort of clientele. It would
make it more difficult for the hero to pick me out of the crowd.

11. I will not engage in a battle of wits with the Hero. I plan on killing him anyway so what's the point?

12. I will not dismiss a Hero as a mere mortal because he does not have my centiuries of experience. Even inexperienced losers can get lucky.

13. There will be no windows, doors, elevator shafts or air vents accessing my Hidden Lair that have any sort of access to the outside
and down which sunlight can be directed using mirrors.

14. If there must be windows they will be painted over and backed with steel plate so the Hero will face a rude surprise when he throws something through it at sunrise.

15. When I take the Hero's True Love to make her my concubine and eternal slave I will not show her off to goad the Hero into making an attack. That would goad the Hero into making an attack. She will be tucked away in a quiet room watched over by my loyal servants until the Hero is dead.

16. I will not transform children. Their bodies will stay the same age forever while their minds grows older and they will become whiny and disobedient.

17. I will not use bug-eating morons as servants. Pretty females dressed in little French maid outfits are more visually appealing
and can also distract the Hero.

18. While castles and mansions are traditional and have a certain flair, the two bedroom bungalow is less noticeable in suburbia.

19. My home will not have wooden furniture, the legs of which become sharp, pointed sticks at inopportune moments.

20. I will have one of my Entranced Subjects constantly observing the Hero and his party. I always want warning if they go to a lumber yard.

21. My home will have mirrors but they will be located in places such as the bathroom where I am unlikely to be at the same time as the Hero or his friends.

22. I will not change into a bat, scuttle up walls, fly or hypnotize people when there might be witnesses.

23. All my concubines will be fully aware that they are not to seduce, attack or even bother visitors staying in the castle unless they have express consent from me.

24. The blood in the refrigerator will be stored in a tomato juice container and there will be ordinary food in there for camouflage.

25. I will get a voice coach and change my name. "Hi, I'm Bob," is less suspicious than "I.......am......Dra....cu.....la."

26. I will not associate with vampire theatres, vampire whorehouses and prostitution rings, vampire bars or vampire biker gangs. They attract attention.

27. I will spend no more than 10 years in any one location and when I move it will be somewhere distant. I will not return to a previous home for a minimum of 80 years. Anyone who previously knew me will either be dead or senile.

28. I will be able to explain porphyria and why that unfortunate genetic condition is the reason I cannot go out in the sun.

29. I will force myself to look concerned and not hungry when someone accidently cuts himself.

30. A Kevlar vest with a ceramic trauma plate located over the heart is a rather trendy fashion accessory.

31. I will take seriously anyone who approaches me with a water pistol and a confident expression.

32. Backpacks and small bags capable of holding sharp pointed wooden sticks will be taken from visitors by a servant at the door. Anyone

refusing to part with their accessories will be taken into a side room and shot in the knees, handcuffed and chained to the wall where they will provide lunch for my concubines.

33. Crossbows, spears, arrows and other antique weapons with wood or large blades will be banned from the castle. There is nothing wrong with a fine collection of rifles and handguns.

34. I will carry at least a .38 on my person and become proficient in its use. If the Von Helsing is holding me at bay with a religious symbol or I am unable to use my vampiric powers for other reasons, I can always open fire.

35. I will be a strict atheist, so the hero will be forced to use a copy of "The Skeptical Inquirer" or "Das Kapital" rather than a Bible, delaying him considerably...

36. Before dining out with anyone, I will verify that garlic is not a major spice at that restaurant.

37. I will not take blood from people who take cocaine, speed, or other addictive drugs.

38. All servants, concubines and assorted slaves will be under strict orders not to show excessive devotion to me in public.

39. Servants, concubines and assorted slaves will have a zero-tolerance rule: one mistake and they're dead. I can always create more.

40. When recruiting new blood, so to speak, I will first enslave those who might notice odd behavior in my future concubines. Therefore, I take the teacher at the all-girls school first.

41. All future concubines will be screened and have complete background checks. Those with relatives named Van Helsing will be removed from consideration. The irony is not worth the risk.

42. Nothing says the Hero can't be a cripple or be suffering massive trauma from a shotgun blast before he becomes lunch.

43. I will not personally finish off the Hero. That is what loyal servants, concubines and assorted slaves are for. Besides, the True Love is probably tastier.

44. All future concubines will be stripped searched for rosaries, crucifixes and garlic before I approach them.

45. All cute but spunky kids in the community who express an interest in the supernatural will be identified and observed for sudden changes in behavior.

46. I will be an upstanding but otherwise undistinguished resident of my community and will make sure that I cultivate enough friends that I will be warned of anyone spreading malicious rumors about me.

47. Since it will be the last thing they would expect, I will hire a Mafia hit team to take out the Hero and his friends. Let's see the crucifix protect them from an Uzi.

47a. And if it does, I will immediately leave town (having been spying on them from several blocks away via a convenient hard-to-trace method of my choice).

48. All villagers will be encouraged to send their children to the schools I will secretly finance. After a few years of modern education they will dismiss the legends told by their grandparents, several of which will undoubtably be ways to destroy me.

49. I will ignore all attempts to appeal to my former sense of humanity. I don't have any. That is why it is former.

50. I will remind myself that I am immortal, not indestructible.

51. All concubines will save the loose, transparent flowing silk dresses for special occasions. I'm a modern sort of guy so I like a woman in leather and Kevlar, which provides more protection so she lasts longer in a fight.

52. Although firearms are useless against me and the concubines they work quite effectively on the Hero and his friends. Therefore all concubines will be armed and taught to shoot. They will use hand and fang in attack only as a last resort.

53. All bodies of former meals will be destroyed in a manner which will make the absence of blood and bite marks impossible to identify.

54. I will not send bodies or parts thereof of former friends, relatives, mentors or lovers to the Hero in order to demonstrate my complete mastery over life and death.

55. I will not demonstrate knowledge inappropriate for someone of my apparent age.

56. I will not begin a vendetta against someone who has destroyed a fellow vampire that I was fond of. They have clearly demonstrated they have the ability to destroy me.

57. More vampires means lower prey ratio: I will carefully consider if I really want more of us running around.

58. All the cutlery in my house will be either stainless steel or plastic. No silver. (Besides, I might accidentally cut myself.) But deally, the steel will have a special surface that makes it *look* like silver, so the Hero will waste his time trying to stab me with it.

59. I will keep important bits of my home flooded with a non-flammable poisonous gas at all times. Not needing to breathe is a usefull skill.

60. As cancer isn't a particularly large concern for me, I'll wear asbestos clothing.

61. I will make lots of long term investments.

61a. With the great wealth I get from that, I shall endow a geneticsprogram aimed at producing cows whose udders secrete human blood, or a palatable imitation thereof. Then I can go to McDonalds instead of bothering the hero's womenfolk.

62. While it may offend my dignity, whining incessantly will indicate that I am the protagonist, and will enable me to avoid the attentions of Heros.

63. As cute as the Vampire Slayer is, there are other girls just as cute who are not capable of destroying me.

64. I will not engage a "Vampire Slayer" in martial arts combat, as that seldom seems to work out well.

65. If I find out that there is a "Vampire Slayer" living in the vicinity, I will consider moving elsewhere, regardless of the advantages confered by that particular location.

66. When faced with a gang of spunky kids determined to stop my evil schemes, I will consider surrender. Or mailbombs.

67. I will put on lots of makeup and fur, and howl at the moon every once in a while. This should confuse the hero, and will probably enable me to get away with a silver bullet or two.

68. I will not consider property crimes beneath my dignity. Carjacking is a good source of income, and I don't have to worry much about the possibility of something going wrong.




Buffalo Beheading "Honor Killing" Trial: Hassan Gets More Time for Defense

 


Buffalo Beheading "Honor Killing" Trial: Muzzammil S. "Mo" Hassan "gets more time to pay for psychiatric expert"


October 30, 2009
http://www.realcourage.org/2009/10/buffalo-honor-killing-hassan-gets-more-time/


-- Buffalo News: "Accused wife killer gets more time to pay for psychiatric expert"
-- The Buffalo News reports:
-- "Over the objections of the prosecutor, Muzzammil S. "Mo" Hassan today was given additional time to secure the money needed to pay for the mental health experts he hopes will help him prove he was emotionally out of control when he decapitated his estranged wife last February."
-- "Erie County Judge Thomas P. Franczyk decried the "glacial pace" of the defense effort, but gave defense attorney James P. Harrington until Dec. 7 to report on the progress of the defense tactics."
-- "The judge warned Harrington that he can still preclude this line of defense if further delays are unacceptable.
-- "Prosecutor Colleen Curtin Gable complained of deliberate foot-dragging by the defense."
-- "But Harrington insisted that, until an Oct. 13 settlement was reached in the Hassan family estate case, there was a problem with ensuring enough money to pay for the criminal defense."
-- "Though the estate case is several weeks away from a formal settlement, Harrington told the judge that Hassan is now assured he will have enough money to finance his defense, including pay for his psychiatric experts."
-- "The bulk of the estate will go to his four children. Hassan, 44, did not speak during the brief court session that ended about 10:15 a.m. Hassan, who has been jailed since he surrendered to police about an hour after the Feb. 12 killing, did not speak at court. Harrington declined comment as he left court."

On October 30, 2009, the Detroit News reported comments by an individual who has been reported as opposing American "institutions and ideologies" as an independent Islamic "scholar" on the "Ummah" organization that reported Jihad plotter Luqman Ameen Abdullah belonged to.   In the Detroit News report, this scholar states the "Ummah" organization merely promotes an "anti-government" ideology, but does not promote violence.

Luqman Ameen Abdullah - Reported Jihad Plotter, Detroit Representative of "National Ummah," and Imam of Detroit's Masjid Al-Haqq (Muslim Alliance of North America - MANA)

The "scholar" referenced in the Detroit News report, Ihsan Bagby, is also the General Secretary of the Muslim Alliance in North America (MANA).  According to the MANA website, reported Jihad plotter Luqman Ameen Abdullah "was a representative of the Detroit Muslim community to the 'National Ummah' and the general assembly (Shura) of the Muslim Alliance in North America (MANA)."   As previous reported, Luqman Ameen Abdullah was killed on October 28 in a shootout with federal agents in a raid investigating weapons and other federal criminal violations.   A federal indictment filed on October 27 detailed Luqman Ameen Abdullah's goals to promote violence against law enforcement agencies, promote hate against non-Muslims, and plot violence against the United States.

Ihsan Bagby, General Secretary of MANA, on Board of Directors with ISNA -- Quoted in Detroit News Report

MANA's website rejects the charges against Luqman Ameen Abdullah stating that reports about Luqman Ameen Abdullah's promotion of violence are "shocking and inconsistent."  In Abdullah's defense, MANA states that Luqman Ameen Abdullah "consistently advocated for the downtrodden and always spoke about the importance of connecting with the needs of the poor."    Rather than questioning Luqman Ameen Abdullah's activity, MANA's website states that "This tragic shooting raises deep concerns regarding the use of lethal force by law enforcement agents."  The Detroit News report does not mention the MANA website defense of Luqman Ameen Abdullah.


The Detroit News report cites MANA's Ihsan Bagby as "a professor of Islamic studies at the University of Kentucky who has written extensively on mosques in Detroit and nationwide."    The Detroit News quotes Ihsan Bagby as stating regarding the "Ummah" that "They always have advocated for establishing Muslim communities... They have worked in various cities to establish a mosque that is a hub and influences the neighborhood in an Islamic fashion."


The Detroit News report states that "Ihsan Bagby of the Muslim Alliance in North America agreed the Ummah is anti-government, but disputed the group advocates violence." It also stated that Bagby "took issue with the government's characterization of Abdullah as 'a highly placed leader of a nationwide radical fundamentalist Sunni group' and said he is shocked by such 'hateful rhetoric.'"


MANA's Ihsan Bagby does not state in the Detroit News report that he is shocked by Luqman Ameen Abdullah's reported hateful rhetoric against non-Muslims, blacks, law enforcement agencies, and others.  MANA's Ihsan Bagby is only reported as being shocked by the FBI's characterization of  Luqman Ameen Abdullah as "a highly placed leader of a nationwide radical fundamentalist Sunni group."


MANA's Ihsan Bagby has been previously quoted as stating, "Ultimately we can never be full citizens of this country. . . because there is no way we can be fully committed to the institutions and ideologies of this country."


Ihsan Bagby was also a recent speaker in Washington DC at the July 4, 2009 weekend Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) conference ironically entitled: "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."   Ihsan Bagby is also on the Board of Directors of ISNA, which was listed among the unindicted co-conspirator organizations in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism trial.   ISNA's leader was recently reported to have been invited to a White House Ramadan celebration in September 2009.


In the October 27, 2009 federal indictment against Luqman Ameen Abdullah and other Detroit area associates, Luqman Abdullah referenced the Dar-Ul Movement that he was part of as "a military force to be reckoned."   The indictment also stated that:  "According to Abdullah, the group is still Dar-Ul, but this is not widely known because of the United States government. The Ummah is a cover name for Dar-Ul."


The Detroit News report also quotes an FBI official on the subject, stating: "In a federal complaint, Abdullah, 53, is labeled the local leader of a predominantly black Muslim group called 'Ummah' or the brotherhood, who sought a separate state within the United States governed by Sharia law. 'This is a very hybrid, radical ideology,' said Andrew Arena, special agent in charge of the FBI in Detroit. 'Mainstream Muslim groups would not recognize this ideology with what they view their faith is.' Nationally, Ummah is led by Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rap Brown. Al-Amin, who is in prison for the murder of two police officers in Georgia, is a former Black Panther leader."


On October 29, 2009, Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) published a detailed transcription of the PDF graphic of the federal indictment of Luqman Ameen Abdullah, demonstrating the exhaustive and multiple reports of Luqman Ameen Abdullah's goals to promote hate against non-Muslims and to promote violence against the FBI, police, Washington DC, and non-Muslims.


R.E.A.L. transcribed a significant portion of the overall 45 page federal indictment in its report.   In that report, Luqman Ameen Abdullah is referenced as calling for killing police officers, killing FBI agents, calling for a nuclear attack on Washington DC, bragging of shooting blacks, teaching classes on how to shoot police officers, and bragging that he has shot "a lot" of people.  According to the report, Luqman Ameen Abdullah bragged to small children, who are members of the "Ummah," about the number of people he has shot.   Also in that report, Luqman Ameen Abdullah was repeatedly armed with a gun, and encouraged members of the Detroit area Masjid Al Haqq to obtain weapons, preferably by obtaining them through killing police officers.


Nor is such an association with violence new.  According to the affidavit transcribed in the report, the earlier location of the Masjid Al Haqq had a firearms range, and after the "Ummah" was evicted from the previous location, "On January 20, 2009, while the members of the Ummah were being evicted from 4118 Joy Road by the City of Detroit for non-payment of property taxes, the Detroit Police Department confiscated two firearms and approximately forty knives and martial arts weapons from Luqman Abdullah's apartment inside the mosque."

ACTION ALERT - Government MUST investigate CAIR !

It’s Time for a Federal Investigation of CAIR



PLEASE SIGN OUR PETITION TODAY!



by Brigitte Gabriel, President, ACT! for America








THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PETITION ACT! FOR AMERICA HAS EVER LAUNCHED!!! I AM APPEALING TO EVERY ACT! FOR AMERICA MEMBER TO JOIN ME TODAY IN SIGNING THIS PETITION!



“Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”



For years there has been plenty of smoke around CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations. In the past twelve months that smoke has thickened.



First, CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorist financing trial. Then, the FBI severed official ties with CAIR due to its connections to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.



Now, the curtain has been completely thrown back with the release of the must-read blockbuster book, Muslim Mafia. Thanks to a daring undercover operation, Muslim Mafia contains many stunning allegations, including (these are quotes from the front flap of the book):






  • “CAIR has previously unreported ties to al Qaeda…”



  • “CAIR board members and advisors have privately advocated ‘Uzi jihads’ against American cities…”



  • “CAIR planted spies inside key law enforcement agencies…”



This is just the tip of the iceberg! Yet, astonishingly, many government leaders and members of the media continue to defend CAIR.



IT’S PAST TIME OUR GOVERNMENT DID ITS DUTY IN PROTECTING NATIONAL SECURITY AND LAUNCHED APPROPRIATE INVESTIGATIONS OF CAIR !!!



Therefore, I am urging you, in the strongest terms possible in an email, to take the following actions TODAY!!!






  • Please read the petition below;



  • Click here to add your name to this petition;



  • Forward the petition to those you know would share your concerns.



  • Forward the petition to bloggers, websites and other online outlets you believe will publicize this petition.



There will come a time when we ask you to contact your Member of Congress about this.



But first, Washington needs to hear our
COLLECTIVE VOICE — that accommodating CAIR will no longer be tolerated! That protecting our national security demands that a formal government investigation of CAIR be launched.



So please, read, sign, and forward this urgently important petition today! When we have completed the petition drive Lisa Piraneo, our Director of Government Relations in Washington, will deliver the petition to the appropriate congressional leadership.



And remember, the only information of yours we will include on the petition is your name and state.



Always devoted,







Brigitte Gabriel

We Call on the U.S. Government to Conduct an Immediate and Thorough Investigation into the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in the Interest of National Security



We are GREATLY CONCERNED about past and ongoing activities by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), and look to our U.S. Government to immediately commence a thorough investigation into the organization, including its leadership, affiliates and activities.



We REMIND our elected officials that CAIR has documented ties to the terrorist organization Hamas and that CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial (a trial that ended with guilty verdicts on 108 counts of funneling $12 million to Hamas).



We REMIND our elected officials that CAIR has individuals either under its current or former employ, or as its affiliates, who have direct ties to terrorism both in the U.S. and abroad: such as Nihad Awad, CAIR’s current national executive director, who participated in a meeting about how to disguise payments to Hamas terrorists as charity; Abdurahman Alamoudi, a CAIR director who is now serving 23 years in federal prison for plotting terrorism; and Omar M. Ahmad, CAIR’s founder and former chairman, who was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land case, to name but a few examples.



We are deeply CONCERNED at recent reports that CAIR has worked to undermine U.S. law enforcement by tipping off suspected terrorists under investigation, and by directing Muslim-Americans to not cooperate with the F.B.I.



We are DISMAYED that, despite these facts, CAIR continues to be the primary group consulted by both media and government agencies with regard to the Muslim-American community.
In the name of true transparency, therefore, we REQUEST that Congress and the Administration support the following investigative actions:






  • The U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE share with each member of the U.S. Congress an executive summary of the findings that led them to name CAIR as a co-conspirator in a terrorism case.


  • The House Sergeant at Arms work with all Members of Congress and their top staff, particularly those Members who sit on the House Judiciary, Homeland Security, and Intelligence Committees, to perform background checks on staff under their employ, considering evidence that CAIR has strategically worked to place staffers there.


  • The U.S. Internal Revenue Service perform a full and thorough investigation into the business activities of CAIR, specifically their lobbying activities, to judge if they are in violation of their federal non-profit status as a 501c3 organization.



Further, we REJECT all attempts by CAIR to discredit those who call for a formal investigation into their organization by falsely arguing such action is “anti-Muslim.” This has been an oft-used distraction tactic of theirs, and it is time it came to an end. This issue is about CAIR and only CAIR.



We REMIND our elected officials that their primary responsibility to our nation’s citizens is to PROTECT AND DEFEND, and we therefore URGE them to take immediate action on this matter.





If you agree it’s time for action as described in the above petition, please click here to sign the petition, and then forward it to everyone you know.
