Since an excited friend emailed me that I had won Matt Taibbi’s “Most Obnoxious Thing on the Internet This Month” award, I have been looking forward to my $10,000 check and working on my acceptance speech. Here is a draft of that speech: Ladies and gentlemen…I stand before you humbled, awed, and amazed to have been recognized as the author of the most obnoxious thing on the internet. My late father, a two-time Olympic medalist, had to triumph over thousands of talented and determined racing sailors. Muhammad Ali, to become “the greatest” (boxer of all time), had to beat out…

WHO’S Obnoxious? Joshua Blakeney and Ian Henshall on the Kevin Barrett Show
Tuesday, August 24th, 9-10 a.m. Pacific (noon-1 pm Eastern) on http://NoLiesRadio.org, to be archived here a few hours after broadcast… Ian Henshall, Coordinator of Reinvestigate 9/11 and author of 9/11 Revealed: The New Evidence, and Joshua Blakeney, Department of Globalization Studies, University of Lethbridge, will join me to discuss the role of provocation and controversy in the 9/11 truth movement…specifically, Josh’s cruel, witty and merciless attack on the obnoxious war criminal propagandist and over-the-top Islamophobe Christopher Hitchens, which elicited a major article in Canada’s leading neocon rag, the National Post. UK 9/11 truth leader Ian Henshall, who knew Hitchens when…
FULL ARTICLETired of Hate Week yet?
In George Orwell’s novel 1984, the people of Oceana spent one week each year being whipped into a purple froth of fury against a government-designated enemy. Our neocon rulers could teach Orwell’s Party a few lessons. In today’s USA, Hate Week has gone on for almost a decade. The enemy, of course, is Islam in general, and Muslims who dare to defend themselves and their religion in particular. Many of the brainwashed haters seem to take a devilish delight in slandering the Prophet Muhammad, peace upon him. The spiritual father of these people, I pointed out a while back, is…
FULL ARTICLEAsk a former Islamic terrorist
During my recent debate with evangelical Islamophobe Walid Shoebat (listen here) I noticed that he responds to all questions with pretty much the same set of stock answers.

FULL ARTICLEShowdown with Shoebat!
I debated Walid Shoebat, self-styled “ex-Muslim-terrorist” turned Evangelical Islamophobe, on the Power Hour with Joyce Riley today. Listen here. Walid’s schtick is beyond belief in more ways than one. Imagine what would happen if a Christian convert from Judaism went on a PR blitz with millions of dollars backing him, spreading imaginary stories about having slurped up Christian babies’ blood back when he was Jewish. Would he get away with it? If not, why is Shoebat getting away with spreading blood libels against Muslims? Jonathan Swift, where are you when we need you? Walid Shoebat’s Evil Twin: We Jews Want…
