*** UPDATE: I’ve discovered that someone hacked into my old Yahoo account, which I haven’t used in nearly 5 years, changed my password, added a new account, and used the addresses in that old account to send out this scam. I’ve fixed the problem. Also, Please Note: my G-Mail account, which I’ve used for more than 5 years, is safe and secure. No worries. ****

It seems like every day, it’s another hassle from some online force trying to waste my time and cause headaches and trouble.

Since Friday, I’ve been on the phone non-stop with Paypal, which was harassing me over my account for no legitimate reason and put restrictions on my account.  Dealing with them was like being on the set of the movie, “Brazil.” Now that that’s been cleared up (late yesterday), there is a Nigerian scam using my name and seeking money.  If you receive any e-mails from debbieschlussel@yahoo.com and/or using my name asking for money, it’s a scam.  Ignore them.  That is not my e-mail address and it’s not from me. I called a terrific agent I know at the FBI, and he told me there’s nothing that can be done about this, but agreed with my plan to post this and warn people not to fall for this.

This morning, a few people e-mailed, telling me they received an urgent message from me asking for money.  The scam claims that I am in Great Britain.  I have NEVER in my life been to Great Britain.  The scam claims that I went to Great Britain for the “summit on Global Warming.”  Most readers know that I think “global warming” is a bunch of BS, a total hoax.  A global warming summit or any such confab is the last place I’d waste valuable hours of my life I’ll never get back.  The e-mail claims that I am staying with my cousin in Great Britain, that my cousin has Cirrhosis of the Liver, and that I need money for his transplant operation.  I have NO relatives anywhere in Great Britain.  And, um, didn’t Obama, Michael Moore, and their friends tell us that the British NHS pays for all healthcare?

Regardless, it’s a scam.  Ignore it.  And I apologize if any of you who received this thought this was legitimately from me.  It isn’t.  Again, IT’S A SCAM.

Here is the e-mail that has been going around, followed by the response when one person, out of the goodness of his heart, responded thinking this was legitimate. Fortunately, he e-mailed me at at my real e-mail address (writedebbie-at-gmail-dot-com) to check.

Hello,

I am writing this message, due to an unforeseen circumstance that I encountered in the United Kingdom. I traveled for an immediate summit on Global Warming of which I had to stay with my Cousin in London. My Cousin had a health problem and the state of his health has deteriorated due to this ailment.

Since the whole UK will, in a few generations, be Muslim, I guess it should be no surprise that officials of the British Consulate in Jerusalem were caught selling arms to HAMAS so the terrorist group could murder thousands of innocent Israeli citizens at a soccer match.

Meet the UK Consulate’s Fave HAMAS Terrorists, Musa Hamada & Bassem Omeri

Great Britain ain’t exactly Israel’s best friend.  It’s, instead, a country infested with Muslim immigrants, most of whom are extremist and almost half of whom support violent jihad and terrorist attacks on innocent civilians.

And, now, we know that two British officials aided two HAMAS terrorists and got them guns for use in their plot to send a rocket missile into an Israeli soccer stadium to kill thousands of innocent Israeli civilians.

Two employees of the British Consulate General in Jerusalem have been charged with weapons trafficking in connection to an alleged Hamas plot to fire a missile into the capital’s main soccer stadium, Reuters reported.

Toward the end of last year, I posted a memo from James Dinkins, who heads what was formerly known as the Office of Investigations for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).  He is in charge of all the ICE Agents engaged in investigations.  The memo eliminated the title of Senior Special Agent, and many long-time agents are upset at losing their hard-earned title.  As I also noted, the memo bears Dinkins’ new title, “Executive Associate Director, Homeland Security Investigations.”  As many ICE agents warned, the agency will apparently soon drop the name, “Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” and transition to a new name, “Homeland Security Investigations” (HSI) further signaling the abandonment of immigration enforcement by the agency. Our friend, Bonzer Wolf, has more info on this.

Now, check out this cheesy new recruitment and public relations video, which recently popped up on the ICE website, and many not-too-happy ICE agents noticed:

Say Good-Bye to Immigration & Customs Enforcement . . . & the Enforcement of Immigration & Customs Laws

You’ll note that the two silly-looking, “Men In Black”-sunglasses bespectacled ICE, er . . . HSI agents are a woman with ’80s-style frizzy hair and a Black dude.  That’s a major part of HSI’s new mission:  affirmative action in recruiting women and minorities.  White guys need not apply.  The ICE people do everything for a reason, and there’s a reason that there’s no White guy stupidly marching around in sunglasses.  I know a lot of ICE agents, and I’ve rarely seen one walking around in sunglasses.  It’s like a bad MTV video from the ’80s.  Very bad.  Like “Night Ranger” or “Loverboy” bad . . . completely with semi-naked chick on a bed with her butt/crotch sticking out (who looks nothing like the sex slaves ICE investigates).

Many readers have contacted me over the weekend about the Islamic terrorist bombing of Coptic Christian churches in Egypt.  And, sorry, but, as I’ve noted before, you’ll get no tears from me over the Copts.  Unlike morons and ignoramuses like Scamela Geller, the car loan fraud scamming (using Muslim straw buyers) multi-millionairess dilettante, I am educated and actually know a lot about the Copts . . . a lot about Copt anti-Semitism and pogroms that this group led against the Jews of Egypt.  I’ve addressed the topic before, and it’s unfortunate that I must re-visit it again because there are so many ignorant people.  And people never learn.

Coptic Pope Shenouda III:

No Different Than the Most Extremist, Anti-Semitic Muslim Clerics

The bombing of the Copts, as well as many attacks on Copts in Egypt by Muslims over the years, are a great example of how Muslims cannot live in peace with Christians.  But they are also a great example of karma.  It’s a bitch, and over the weekend, the bitch was Muslim.  And what goes around definitely comes around in the case of the Copts. In the case of the Copts versus the Muslims, I view it as I did the Iran-Iraq war and the larger feud between Shi’ite and Sunni Muslims.  I wish it could go on forever and that both sides would lose.

The Coptic Pope Shenouda III continues to regularly deliver anti-Semitic sermons and calls Jews “Christ-killers.”  And, in July 2008, he told Egypt’s Al-Ahram newspaper:

Jews are a cursed people who have their hands indulged in the blood of Palestinians.

He also forbade all Copts from visiting Jerusalem as long as it “remains occupied,” meaning as long as there are Jews there.

Another day, another attack on the U.S. military.  A new year, a new attack on the U.S. military.  But this one is based on video tapes that are four and five years old.

There’s a reason–several, actually–why women and gays shouldn’t be in the military.  And it’s not just that they–the women–get pregnant and that both groups destroy morale and cohesion of the unit.  It’s that they can’t handle the lewd hijinks in the USS Enterprise video, stuff that goes on and has been going on in the U.S. military from time immemorial.

I viewed one of the risque videos, which is the subject of much fuss, and for me, it’s disgusting and inappropriate, and more than that, stupid.  The people in them are sleazy, and I probably wouldn’t want to hang out with them.  But it’s not for me to judge.  I’m not fighting in any war and serving the country in the military.  I’m not stuck on a ship in the middle of nowhere.  I’ve seen World War II cards, drawings, pictures soldiers sent home and shared with each other, and some of them are downright low-class filthy.  But that’s what men do when they are away, without their wives and girlfriends, and have itches they need to, um, scratch, etc.  Navy Captain Owen Honors  showed poor taste and even worse judgment in participating (how dumb was it to be on a video – helloooo . . . ?), but perhaps he thought this was the way to help ship morale.  We don’t know why he did it, as he’s a very respected captain, according to many of his sailors, current and former.  No, it’s not something that’s a credit to our military.  But it’s just a small group of soldiers, hardly representative of the mostly fine people who serve America.  And the videos were meant to be private.

The video–because of its release and the mainstream media promotion of it–is now the stuff of dumb lawsuits, Oprah appearances, and Islamic anti-American propaganda. The fuss over the video is simply the mainstream media doing Bin Laden’s work.

As you must know if you read a newspaper or watch any TV, on New Year’s Day, along with ringing in a new calendar year, cable TV will ring in yet another crappy channel with more crappy, empty filler “programming.”  It’s called OWN a/k/a the Oprah Winfrey Network.  I call it, “Just Kill Me TV.”  ‘Cuz, below, is the garbage that’s on this, um, “network.”  Utter CUH-RAP.  Fecal material to the max.  Even the cooking show, ” Cristina’s Big Bowl of Love,” sounds like a new age show for gay poodles chanting at an ashram . . . or a sex therapy show set in a swimming pool.  I wouldn’t want to eat anything cooked in it.  Nope.

(Oprah artwork by Six Meat Buffet/Preston Taylor Holmes)

And the Oprah-niks know it’s crap.  That’s why in her barrage of interviews for the last two weeks flacking this ADC–All Dung Channel–Oprah is trying to “manage expectations downward” about ratings and she and Lisa Erspamer, the network chief she hired, are saying they won’t look at ratings (riiiight).  Only a moron would watch Dr. Phil re-runs, behind the scenes of the making of Oprah, and HAMAS-panderer Lisa Ling‘s documentary series against America.  But, then, only morons watch Oprah and Dr. Phil in the first place.  And you know that conventional wisdom about the birthrate of suckers–one a minute?  That’s a very conservative estimate, or these idiots wouldn’t be big, wealthy stars to begin with.

Dude, how on earth can there be a “Best of” Dr. Phil?  That’s like saying, “Best of Saudi Beheadings in Chop-Chop Square.”  Or, “Best Noises Heard from Someone Having a Bowel Movement in an Airport Restroom.”  There just is no “best” possible in this case.  Sorry.

What’s the difference between New Year’s Eve in Detroitistan (“D-Mecca,” in Nation of Islam speak) and the Middle East?

Say Nice Things About Detroit: “Happy New Year From Motown”

Well, in Detroit, the Mayor and police have to beg people not to shoot off their guns. And in the Middle East, they don’t bother–it’s customs to shoot off their guns whenever, wherever (plus, they don’t celebrate New Years, because that’s an infidel holiday of Al-Salibyeen, the Christians; and they prefer to save their shooting in the air for other celebrations, like when the slaves on the Qatari soccer team beat the slaves on the Omani soccer team, or when 3,000 Americans disintegrate in the ashes of planes and buildings on the land of the “Great Satan”). And if you are one of the few mistaken souls who doesn’t know that this is about the only difference, come visit, or read this story which was in both major Detroit newspapers, yesterday and today:

Detroit city leaders and members of a youth initiative project are urging people to refrain from kicking off the new year with celebratory gunfire.

Since it’s the end of the year, here’s my Top Ten Movies of 2010 with a link to my complete review under the name of each movie:

1)  “The King’s Speech“:  King George VI learns to overcome a stutter, in order to rally the English people around the Allied troops in World War II.  Also the charming story of the friendship of two men, a royal and a commoner.  Read My Complete Review.

2)  “True Grit “:  The second movie based on the book of the same title is a terrific Western, beautifully shot with mostly great acting.  A young girl hires a federal marshal to find and hunt down the man who killed her father.  Set in 1800s America.  Read My Complete Review.

Because of Jewish holidays, migraine headaches, and scheduling conflicts, there were a few movies I saw this year, but never reviewed on this site.  And before I can post my year’s Top Ten Movies, I gotta post these reviews , since at least one is on the list:

*  “Mao’s Last Dancer“:  This was, easily, one of the top movies of the year.  It’s the charming, uplifting story of Li Cunxin, a Chinese man, who at age 11, is taken from his poor rural farming family by the Maoist Communist government and put in a state-run ballet school. His dancing is different and not as “disciplined” as that of the other dancers, and one of his teachers–secretly an anti-Communist–takes him under his wing. The professor is punished and fired, treated harshly and sent to prison.

**** UPDATE: ICE Agent Responds to ICE Top Cop Dinkins – SCROLL DOWN ****

Recently, I posted a memo from a top Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official, James Dinkins, eliminating the title of “Senior Special Agent,” given to ICE agents with several years experience on the job.  As I noted, several agents were upset by this and I viewed it as an attack on achievement and experience in ICE, an agency in which morale keeps getting lower because agents are hamstrung from doing their jobs by Janet Napolitano, Barack Obama, and dumb ICE politics from mostly non-law-enforcement types trying to run the show.  It’s not a strictly “inside baseball” thing because, as I noted, this is the largest agency in Homeland Security and the lead agency on important national security issues, including immigration and international smuggling operations. We want the best agents in this agency. And the best tend to go where they will get the most recognition and reward for their achievement.

Top ICE Cop Jim Dinkins Responds to DebbieSchlussel.com

As I mentioned, I know Jim Dinkins, who is the Director of Investigations for ICE–a name since changed to Executive Director of Homeland Security Investigations.  And Jim responded, disputing some of my and his agents comments on the site.  Below are his responses, which he gave me permission to post here (he knows I am Jewish, thus the “Happy Holidays” as opposed to “Merry Christmas”):

Hi Debbie,

I see I made the news with the elimination of the Senior Special Agent title. Just so you know, it was totally my decision. Have you ever known me to be anyone’s puppet?
