About Adina Kutnicki

I am an investigative journalist and independent op-ed contributor to various Zionist and Conservative media outlets. I contributed to an in-depth investigative series at FrontPage Magazine with Lee Kaplan from 2003-2007. We are still working together . Go to the 5:59 timeline at -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lwBAv7f1Vg…here as well - http://www.presstv.ir/Program/320411.html - to listen to him address the current situation in Syria. He is a world class expert on the ISM (International Solidarity Movement), and he utilized my foundation in forensics and investigative journalism to “follow the jihadist money.” Unfathomably, the ISM was able to accomplish the above money laundering, courtesy of their IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Specifically, my name appears at the end of the expose’, ‘Does The Pro-Terror Left Violate U.S. Tax Laws’? My op-eds have been featured at American Thinker, Israel National News, Israel Insider, The Jewish Press, MidEast Outpost, The Freeman Center For Strategic Studies, HONENU – Providing Legal Aid To Israeli Soldiers & Civilians In Distress, JEWSNEWS.co.il (https://adinakutnicki.com/2012/11/10/why-is-drunk-driving-treated-more-leniently-than-assault-with-a-deadly-weapon-op-ed-by-adina-kutnicki-featured-at-jewsnews-co-il/) as well as at other sites. My writings also appear in print media. Highlighted interviews: 'The Inquisitr Interviews Adina Kutnicki: The Reality Of Life For An Israeli Patriot.' It is piggybacked with a second interview ‘The Muslim Brotherhood’s Quest For Global Dominance – An Interview With Adina Kutnicki.’ A recent book review On A Wing From The Holy Land [Review Of An Exciting New Novel About The Spiritual Journey Of An Israeli Woman] was also spotlighted at Inquisitr. This blog received a ‘Watcher of Weasels’ Award - see within – scroll down to ‘Non-Council’ winners. In addition, I am honored to be a part of a very important team effort, as we attempt to beat back against the scourge of Islam at Islam Exposed Online. I am its Israel Administrator. My part can be found herein, at Ask the Expert with Paul “Dave” Gaubatz and throughout the website. News highlights include: from Dave Gaubatz’s newsletter/blog, dated March 31,2014 – ‘The FBI Are Wimps On The War On Islamic Terrorism’ - “I have uncovered thousands of Islamic materials advocating the Muslim community to engage in Jihad. This can be with the tongue, pen, or sword. If you aren’t able to contribute this way, then one has an obligation to help finance the efforts of Jihadist’s. Why then does the FBI not go after the Islamic leaders? Well let’s see: Saudi influence, liberal media influence, and of course the Islamic supporting Obama administration…… What type leaders do we need if we were to even have a chance at defeating Islamic terrorism in America? We need more Megan Kelly’s, Jack Ellison’s, Roy White’s, John Kuchta’s, Adina Kutnicki’s, Brenda and Roger Homefield’s, and fewer journalistic wimps such as O’Reilly.” And BY DANA DiFILIPPO, Daily News Staff Writer: “But this backlash was especially intense: Some who claim CAIR is a terrorist-friendly group see Bender’s employment there as a treasonous public-relations ploy. It is obligatory to out the traitors in our midst,” conservative Zionist blogger Adina Kutnicki wrote of Bender. “This . . . is a matter of Jews aiding and abetting those who seek nothing less than Israel’s destruction, and by definition, the murder of half of world Jewry.” I also assist several Zionist academics with their efforts, chiefly through their policy centers. I am particularly in sync with the policy prescriptions elucidated by Dr. Martin Sherman (his latest tv interview at i.24tv on the “peace process”) and Professor Paul Eidelberg (his latest interview at Inquisitr, ‘Organized Treachery vs. Organized Hypocrisy‘). Therefore, I lend them my insights. My “go to” expert on all matters pertaining to international law, and a country’s right to anticipatory self defense – via preemptive strikes – is none other than Professor Louis Rene Beres of ‘Project Daniel.’ The working group’s original policy paper is found herein. He was Chair of the above strategic nuclear policy paper given to PM Ariel Sharon in 2003 - and subsequently briefed the report to President George W. Bush and to current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - in relation to Israel’s nuclear strategy in the face of Iran’s pursuit of WMD’s. He is a man of great integrity and humility. Lou, a heartfelt thank you for being my mentor. Favorite quotations Tzedek, tzedek, tirdof…Justice, justice, you shall pursue. צדק צדק תרדוף Mi ha’ashir ha’s’meach b’chelko…The one who is rich is the one who is satisfied with his portion, his lot in life. מי העשיר השמח בחלקו Lao Tzu coined the Chinese axiom – “Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” My beloved husband Frank, z”l (of blessed memory), wise as he was, didn’t know Chinese, but he knew how to raise sons. He understood that instilling self respect and ethical standards, coupled with outstanding education, would allow them to “fish” for life, not only financially, but also morally. The above are life’s most valuable lessons-and gifts-a father can give to his son(s), deeply expressed within a tribute penned on his date of death, his yarzheit. His birthday was duly honored. Born and raised in New York City, I made aliyah (immigrated) to Israel in the summer of 2008. Being fluent in Hebrew allows me to gauge the mood (aka “matzav”) of the country, thus, enabling me to report on core Zionist issues (though in English) with much more accuracy. Most intrinsically (and personally gratifying), I am the mother of two outstanding sons. Both are electrical engineers (MIT & Caltech educated) and proudly serve as IDF reservists. This blog is dedicated in memory of their father; my beloved husband. He is resting, watching over us, on Har HaMenuchot (Mount of Rest) in Jerusalem. A man who believed in justice, loved Israel, was a proud American and especially grateful for the freedoms it gave his parents, after they survived the horrors of Auschwitz. Hopefully, my small effort will enlighten Israelis and Americans (and the west in general) to the dangers posed by our common foes. These dangers are fueled exponentially by the morphing of the Red/Green alliance-radical leftists and Islamic jihadists

Shoshana Bergen nee Dzikansky
(שושנה בת יקותיאל וחיה פרומה ז״ל)
September 14, 1950 – October 1, 2025
May her memory be for an everlasting blessing to all those privileged to have known her.
May her family:
Husband Marshall Bergen, Son Leon Bergen, daughter in law Karen, grandchildren Eliyahu & Miriam and any future grandchildren to follow: Sisters: Navah Aspir & Adina Kutnicki and their children and grandchildren as well as the children and grandchildren of her late brother Morty, “know no more sorrow!”
 Although we were not sisters, there were periods, particularly in our youth, where we were incredibly close. At times we lived in each others’ clothes, provided a safe haven for each other, shared trips, some family visits, shared psycho-analyst, jokes, secrets, aspirations and dreams.
And once one had ever been close to Shoshana, there remains a thread forever binding in one’s soul.

Clockwork-Like, TRUMP’s TOUGH GUY POSTURING POST ISLAMIC JIHADI TERRORISM!

Brave National Guard in D.C.; Latest Sacrificial Lambs!

IT is not lost on Allah’s Muslim Terrorists that U.S. leaders, for the most part, are “paper tigers.” In military parlance, one can wield the strongest assets, but they are worthless if those in power are disinclined to deploy them. Statesman-ship, or the lack thereof.

WHILE there are a myriad of reasons for said useless/toothless comportment when referring to TRUMP’s TOUGH GUY POSTURING, those who know the score, most consequentially, are Allah’s Muslim Terrorists. Effectively, they give him the proverbial finger – at the very same time that they plot and plot, and pocket all of the U.S. taxpayers’ largess!

OUT of countless instances, the following bears repeating, and as many times as it takes to sink in:

TRUMP’s FULL-ON MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD MAFIA EMBRACE!

ALONGSIDE the above truth-telling, it is imperative to recognize the phrase, “six of one, half a dozen of the other” as an absolute addendum thereof. To wit, simplistically-speaking, irrespective of this or that Islamic Jihadi appendage, be they Sunni or Shia, they are one and the same. Full-stop.

AS such, when listening to Trump’s latest bellicosity re the ongoing Afghani/Somali, et al. carnage/blow-back, it is not only too little, too late (refer back to MUSLIM BROTHEHOOD MAFIA evidentiary trails), rest assured, back-doors will remain open sesame. Guaranteed.

youtube.com/watch?v=lmtclvlmy1c&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fconservativefiringline.com%2F&source_ve_path=Mjg2NjY

AS is said, the proof is in the pudding. Past is prologue, too.

ALAS, back in October 2016 (almost a decade ago!), three quarters of a year into Trump’s first term, this investigative journalist/Islamic Jihadi expert exposed what really went down with deeply rooted Afghani Jihad all across the nation!!

Pentagon “Loses” Afghani Special Forces Training Inside America:The Back-Story To “Missing” Soldiers For Allah.

IT is a known fact, a dirty “secret”, that countless foreigners overstay their visas, many of whom should have been barred from entering the U.S. to begin with, be they students, tourists, or up to no good business types. But this is a pressing subtopic on its own merits – that which requires one commentary after another to flush out its dangerous toxins. And never mind the millions of illegals who are otherwise “lost in action”, ensconced inside America due to open sesame, so-called borders. 

THAT being established, when it comes to those of the Mohammedan persuasion, a particular danger accrues to the nation-at-large when they “go missing.” This well-informed assessment hardly requires further edification. Disinfectant.

STILL yet, before we segue to the “lost” Afghanis, it is instructive to hark back to the IED explosion at the Boston Marathon – perpetrated by Allah’s Muslim Terrorists – on April 15, 2013. Say whaaat?

WELL, when it comes to “lost” Muslims within America, it matters not a whit what their purported occupational interests are. More specifically, they are, in one way or another, above all else, soldiers for Allah. Therefore, look no further than to 6,000 plus “students” who magically “disappeared” within America, as reported at this site on September 4, 2014. In fact, some have footprints to Boston’s jihad! Incontrovertibly, many of these “students” are linked to the Muslim Brotherhood’s MSA (Muslim Student Association), whose epicenter operates from within Boston’s prominent university quads, including MIT! More indicting, several Al-Qaeda plotters were part and parcel thereof. Not only that, Huma Abedin, Clinton’s joined-at-the-hip mate, is one of the MSA’s “illustrious” Board Members!

READ the above links and be prepared to shiver.

MIND you, two years onward, the so-called Islamic “students” are hide nor hare! And, does anyone really believe they have taken up knitting and quilting in the interim??

BUT let’s get back to the Pentagon’s Afghanis….

Forty-four Afghan troops visiting the United States for military training have gone missing in less than two years, presumably in an effort to live and work illegally in America, Pentagon officials said.

Although the number of disappearances is relatively small — some 2,200 Afghan troops have received military training in the United States since 2007 — the incidents raise questions about security and screening procedures for the programs.

They are also potentially embarrassing for U.S. President Barack Obama’s administration, which has spent billions of dollars training Afghan troops as Washington seeks to extricate itself from the costly, 15-year-old war. The disclosure should fuel criticism by supporters of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who has accused the Obama administration of failing to properly vet immigrants from Muslim-majority countries and has pledged a much tougher stance if he wins. Time will tell.

While other foreign troops on U.S. military training visits have sometimes run away, a U.S. defense official said that the frequency of Afghan troops going missing was concerning and “out of the ordinary.”

Since September alone, eight Afghan troops have left military bases without authorization, Pentagon spokesman Adam Stump told Reuters. He said the total number of Afghan troops who have gone missing since January 2015 is 44, a number that has not previously been disclosed. (Mind you, it took barely a dozen to perpetrate 9/11/01, the most explosive Islamic Jihadi terror attack in U.S. history!)

“The Defense Department is assessing ways to strengthen eligibility criteria for training in ways that will reduce the likelihood of an individual Afghan willingly absconding from training in the U.S. and going AWOL (absent without leave),” Stump said.

Afghans in the U.S. training program are vetted to ensure they have not participated in human rights abuses and are not affiliated with militant groups before being allowed into the United States, Stump said.

The defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, added there was no evidence any of those who had absconded had carried out crimes or posed a threat to the United States.

Okey dokey.

The RED-GREEN (ISLAMIST) Axis Behind The Scenes!

THOUGH MAMDANI has been catapulted into power, a fait accompli, make no mistake: It is vital to America’s health, welfare, and very existence to internalize the whys and the wherefores. Sans said “lessons learned”, the nation will be unable to prevent a core metastatis from spreading like a cancerous poison across the country.

Islam IS Islam. Verbal Ju-Jitsu/Apologias Akin to Diarrhea of the Mouth!

The Whys & the Wherefores. Proofs, too.

TO commence one’s truthful, unvarnished, non-PC educational journey re ISLAM, bar none, there is no other substantive place to begin than via the below policy paper. By absorbing its underpinnings, ISLAM’S absolute mandates will be revealed. As such, imbibe it, that is, as if one’s very existence depends upon it! It does. Repeat: ISLAM IS ISLAM!

IPSO facto, many in the western world watches on in horror as every single corner of the globe becomes awash with their devilish handiwork, that is, via enumerable trails of Islamic jihadi wreckage ala copious rivers of blood! So much so, their enablers run the gamut: From useful idiots; to far-left radicals; to political whores – in collusive league with anti-western billionaires who are part of what increasingly has become known as the red-green alliance! Incontestably, they lend total support (financially/materially/bully-pulpit-wise/shock troops galore, as well as through a vast array of propaganda fronts, pincer-like) to the theo/political/cultural mandates of the most nihilistic, retrograde force ever known to humankind!

FOR instance, yes, out of reams of others,

NOT only that, this writer proved, six ways to Sunday, that Mark Zuckerberg enables jihadi terrorism – with tailwind after tailwind for a multiplicity of reasons.

Banned: How Facebook Enables Militant Islamic Jihad

AS expressed within the opening of the above book, as well as  encapsulated via its descriptor at AMAZON Books:

While militant jihad is exploding throughout the Islamic world, westerners are increasingly subjected to gravely perilous circumstances. Americans, Israelis, and Europeans are in their direct crosshairs.

Jihadists congregate on social media, “friend” like-minded Islamists, and plot global jihad. With over 1.6 billion users worldwide, Facebook is the world’s largest social media site. It has become the de facto Internet since nearly every site connects to it. With that size comes great power–the power to lift up and the power to destroy. CEO Mark Zuckerberg promised to stifle negative stories of “migrants” and assured Muslims he would make his site a welcoming place for them. Banned explains how social media in general and Facebook in particular seems to operate with a double standard that ultimately enables militant Islamic jihad.

Politicians talk about companies being too big to fail, but is Facebook so big that it can freely operate as a government unto itself?

ATOP “the Zuckster’s” treacherous/treasonous/poisonous wellsprings coursing through the behemouth (he helped to create), be it called Facebook or Meta,

What’s in a name? Whether called Facebook or Meta,Twitter or X, the same vile slander and incitement to violence pervades the social media giants

proofs upon proofs expose the gravity of his company’s mega incitement – against those who refuse to bow, indeed, submit, towards Islamic supremacism. Beyond perilous.

INCONTROVERTIBLY, the zenith/pinnacle of said anti-western, pyramid-like decimation/venom lies within George Soros, a/k/a, “the devil incarnate!”

Soros-linked Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg: No Incarceration Except for Homicide and a Few Other Cases … SOROS, PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER 1!

Alex, George Soros’ son, announces engagement to Huma Abedin….A ‘Partnership’ Made in Brotherhood Mafia Hell!

Tweet of the Day: Alex Soros Tweets Bullet Hole, $47, In What Appears To Be DIRECT Threat To Trump!

MOVING right along, let there be NO doubt: With one threat after another perpetrated by Islamists world over, it is imperative, at the very least, to school oneself with only a fraction of a fraction of supremacist “events” in the U.S. over the last few months. It will be more than enough to internalize what’s what.

AND in a relentless loop of murderous mayhem – to terrorize the western world – Islamic jihad explodes and explodes!

The Nexus Between Barack HUSSEIN Obama and ZOHRAN MAMDANI: Deep State Mafia SLEEPER CELLS Implanted to Collapse America; the Torchbearer and the Lit Fuse!

Posted on by
Reply

Aided and abetted via the poisonous fingerprints of the DEEP STATE MAFIA, a highly shielded {emphasis placed} Illinois State Senator (1997-2004) was catapulted into the U.S. Senate – which (2005-2008) set the stage for Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s venomous, anti-American infiltration and penetration into the White House! Incontestable.

In point of fact, this investigative journalist analyzed his absolute treachery – inflicted upon America (and the wider world) via a compendium of evidentiary proofs attesting to all of his wildfires. Book-worthy. 

Indeed, within “BANNED: How Facebook Enables Militant Islamic Jihad” (August 2016) he is front and center in Chapter 3: “What Does The Obama Administration, The ‘Fourth Estate’, And Academia Have In Common?“, as well as throughout the pages of this explosive book. 

Atop the above incendiary devices, let the following serve as a mere sampling of his treasonous underbelly – as he slithered into position to aid and abet the likes of ZOHRAN MAMDANI; this generation’s detonator! Mind you, for decades, BHO has been (and still is) the absolute puppetmaster across the DemonRat Party!

Alas, onto ZOHRAN MAMDANI; the Islamist-in-Chief’s detonator! 

According to Washingtontimes.com (July 6, 2025)

Less than a decade ago, Zohran Mamdani was a “C-list rapper” joking about living rent-free in his Manhattan apartment near Columbia University, where his father teaches political science and African studies.

The 33-year-old New York state assemblyman is now a step away from being the next mayor of New York City.

Mr. Mamdani steamrolled one of the state’s most infamous political figures in the Democratic primary by vowing to make the city more affordable through rent freezes, free bus service, free child care and city-run grocery stores.

His rise from a little-known state lawmaker with a thin legislative record and limited work history to a political rock star has left the Democratic Party establishment reeling.

Still, the big question is whether he is a flash in the pan or a glimpse into the future, and whether such an inexperienced person, albeit with charisma and strong political instincts, is equipped to lead the nation’s largest and wealthiest city.

His rivals say the silver-spooned neophyte’s candidacy is a dangerous political sham.

“Zohran Mamdani has never had a job,” the campaign for Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat running as an independent against Mr. Mamdani, said on social media. “He went into politics and passed zero legislation and then skipped 50% of his assembly votes to run a failed mayoral campaign.”

Mr. Mamdani’s path to the Democratic Party’s mayoral nomination began in Kampala, Uganda, where he was born to an Indian father and an Indian American mother, a renowned filmmaker.

He moved to Cape Town in 1996 and then to New York when he was 7 years old, three years later. His family lived in a Columbia University-owned apartment and benefited from a tax break he wants to scrap, according to the New York Post.

Mr. Mamdani attended a private middle school before being accepted into the Bronx School of Science, a crown jewel of New York City’s public education system.

Mr. Mamdani — in a 2016 podcast in which he joked about living in his parents’ “plush apartment with no rent” — said the experience opened his eyes to a universe that was less White and more brown.

He played soccer and said he co-founded a cricket team, where he was surrounded by teammates from first- and second-generation immigrant families from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

He began spending more time on the other side of the East River, in the more ethnically diverse communities in Queens.

“If I hadn’t gone to Bronx Science, I would have remained within a privileged bubble my whole time in New York City,” he said in a 2016 “Encompassed” podcast, which shares the stories of the school’s graduates. “I love where I’ve grown up, right next to Columbia, but I don’t identify with it as a community.

“What makes Queens feel like home to me is who is there, also the class of individuals,” he said.

In 2014, he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Africana studies from Bowdoin College in Maine before returning to New York, where he volunteered for a city council campaign and worked as a foreclosure prevention counselor while moonlighting as a rapper known as Young Cardamom.

In 2018, he became a naturalized citizen. In 2020, he ran for the state assembly in the 36th Congressional District, which includes Astoria, one of the most ethnically diverse communities in the world.

“My job is to help families on the brink of homelessness stay in the homes they worked their whole lives to earn,” he said in a 2020 state assembly candidate statement. “Every day, I come face to face with the human consequences of decades of pro-corporate and pro-landlord politics in Albany.

“Every day, I’m reminded that all this suffering isn’t inevitable — it’s a choice that our representatives make to put the interests of their campaign donors over the well-being over their constituents,” he said.

Mr. Mamdani defeated a 10-year incumbent Democrat whose family immigrated to Queens from Greece when she was an infant and who had a similarly liberal platform. He criticized her for endorsing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over Sen. Bernard Sanders in the 2016 Democratic presidential primary and Rep. Joseph Crowley in 2018 over activist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. He also accused her of being too close to the Queens Democratic Party.

According to a New York Times analysis of his legislative tenure, Mr. Mamdani has introduced about 20 bills and passed three relatively minor measures since arriving in Albany.

The Mamdani campaign did not respond to a request for comment for this article.

The lack of a record has sparked a race to define Mr. Mamdani, who leads in the polls despite having millions of dollars spent on attacks against him.

He is a democratic socialist running on possibility, hope, and ideas aimed at lowering the cost of living. He’s also tapping into the lingering disdain for Mr. Adams, and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, each of whom have been involved in scandals.

Mr. Mamdani pledges to raise taxes on the wealthy and corporations. He wants to raise the minimum wage to $30 per hour by 2030 and establish city-owned grocery stores.

He has also vowed to bar Immigration and Customs Enforcement from conducting enforcement operations in New York City.

In response, his rivals cast him as a snake oil salesman, arguing his ideas are delusional, and would be a disaster, and focusing on some of his past rhetoric.

They highlight how he refused to say Israel should be a Jewish state, supported the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, and refused to condemn the “globalize the intifada” slogan.

He also vowed to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he sets foot in New York City.

Mr. Mamdani overcame the attacks in the Democratic primary. He received the endorsement of Mr. Sanders, the democratic socialist and Godfather of the modern far-left movement in the U.S.

Mr. Mamdani also picked up an endorsement from Ms. Ocasio-Cortez. Her victory over Mr. Crowley in 2018 electrified left-wing activists.

Brad Linder, the city’s comptroller and highest-ranking Jewish leader, vouched for Mr. Mamdani in the race, helping him withstand accusations that he is an antisemite.

Mr. Mamdani received a significant boost from the Working People’s Party and the powerful Democratic Socialists of America, whose grassroots army backed Ms. Ocasio-Cortez and helped him raise money and the campaign knock on more than 1.5 million doors.

“My joke has been it felt like it hit a level where like canvassing for Zoran was the new brunch,” said Morris Katz, the lead media strategist for the campaign, this month on the “Pro Politics Podcast with Zac McCrary.”

Mr. Katz said Mr. Mamdani’s rise has a lot to do with him being a generational talent with a unique ability to connect with people on an individual level and distill complex policy ideas into digestible, clear nuggets.

“He just knows who he is. So he is not having to spend the brain power that I think a lot of people have to spend on, like: ’Wait, what do I want to say? Wait, is it bad if I am saying this?’ There is just a comfort level that I think comes through,” he said.

“I also think he is the guy at the party everybody wants to talk to … even if he wasn’t the Democratic nominee for mayor,” he said.

In addition to his charisma and unrelenting campaigning, Mr. Katz said a simple message has helped Mr. Mamdani overcome the inexperienced attacks.

“You may not know what it looks like for Zohran to govern, but we know what it looks like to have Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams to govern,” Mr. Katz said, adding the message boiled down to: “Good judgment is better than bad experience.”

If elected, Mr. Zamdani will be 34 years old, marking him the youngest New York City mayor since “Boy Mayor” John Purroy Mitchel won the job in 1914.

Mr. Zamdani now faces a fresh round of challenges.

Former Gov. David Paterson and other Democrats are trying to stop him. They are urging either Mr. Cuomo or Mr. Adams to drop out so the anti-Mamdani vote can unite behind a single candidate.

Meanwhile, New York Republicans are doubling down on his lack of experience.

“Zohran Mamdani is unfit for any office, let alone the second hardest job in America,” said New York GOP spokesperson David Laska.

“He stands against everything America stands for: he is openly communist, racist, antisemitic and anti-police,” he said. “If Mamdani becomes mayor, the exodus of businesses and citizens from New York will increase, and the city will spiral into economic decline, lawlessness and division.”

If a socialist/Marxist/Islamic-leaning clone of the Islamist-in-Chief was conjured up to take over the destruction of America for the next few decades, well, no one comes closer than ZOHRAN MAMDANI!

Ask yourself: is this the result of happenstance, right place/right time, a coinquidink or something more sinister!?! 

You decide.
