Fitna the Movie: The Blogosphere Triumphs!!

See the two hotties on the right? The one on the left is Michelle Malkin and the one on the right is Pam Geller. I had some blogosphere interaction with both of them this past week, and it resulted in my best week of blogging ever.

Earlier in the week Michelle Malkin liked my Photoshop of Hillary Clinton in Bosnia wearing an army helmet and sporting an M16, and posted it on her blog. Malkin is big in the blogosphere, a published author, newspaper columnist and a regular TV pundit on Fox News. She's also very darned cute, but that's another story. Anyway, she posted the Photoshop and that was a great source of pride to me, though it didn't give Saber Point any traffic. She just gave the Photoshop credit as "Stogie." That's fine, I wasn't looking for anything more. I was just happy to contribute.

The day before yesterday, I was disturbed at the censorship of "Fitna" the movie on Liveleak, so spent a day researching how to download videos from websites. I finally figured out a way, then made downloads available here at Saber Point. Pam Geller, another very gorgeous lady, gave me a plug at her hugely successful website, Atlas Shrugs. This helped me get more hits than I ever had before, 15 times normal, even more than the time Mark Steyn linked to me when I reviewed his last book, America Alone. Many of the hits also came from the Google search engine. People all over the world were searching for a site where they could download Fitna.

I'm not looking for fame out of this, just savoring the satisfaction -- the satisfaction that, for once, I was useful to the conservative blogosphere, that I contributed something of value. I was more than just a me-too.

Other folks did their part too. IslamaNazi.com put a copy of the video on his website with a download link. Another person, not usually a blogger, was disturbed by the Liveleak event, so got herself a file, uploaded it to her website, then linked to it on her brand new blog, started for one purpose only, to make Fitna available. See Downloadfitna.blogspot.com. Other worthy mentions are Michael at RapidShare.com and the website HomelandSecurityUS.com. Way to go, guys. It's amazing how fast and effective the blogosphere can be when it needs to be.

There's a Chinese saying that an army of ants can kill a snake. The Islamists can't stop the dessimination of videos like Fitna. There are too many of us ants, too many blogs and websites, too many technically-savvy people all over the world ready to contribute to defeating Islam and Islamization. We will devour the snake with ten thousand small bites.
