Daily Mail 'Proves' Fire Brought Down WTC7

I've never used the Crimes of Zion sites to publish work by other writers (there are two CoZ blogs and you're not on the original), but as you can see, I've been about as productive as tits on a bull for some time now as far as writing goes, and the article you're about to read is an exceptional piece that I feel deserves all the attention I can give it.

The author is, in my opinion, one of the best 9/11 researchers on the scene right now, and provided the quality of his work continues along its current trend and the output remains consistent, I'd even hazard a wager that in time, he'll come to be regarded as one of the foremost amateur (i.e. unpublished, internet-based) authorities on the explosive matter of 9/11/01. Spend a bit of time on his web site and you'll see what I mean. Work as good as this can only go unnoticed for so long.

As always, if you find this article helpful, share it. Facebook it, 'Tweet' it, e-mail it, link to it, throw it around, wherever and however you can.

The Daily Mail's WTC7 propaganda debunked

Britain's Daily Mail carriesan article on its website purporting to "finally prove once and for all that Building 7 was brought down by the intense heat of the blazing World Trade Center - and not explosives, as conspiracy theorists claim". The newspaper's 'evidence' to support its bold assertion consists of a two-minute video, which shows fires burning on a couple of isolated floors in WTC7.

The footage has already been analyzed and described in detail in the 2008 NIST report on WTC7: NIST NCSTAR 1-9. The NIST report shows a number of frames taken from the footage. For example, Figure 5-143 is a frame from the video showing a close-up of fires burning on the 8th floor on the NE corner. It was taken within a few minutes of 4:00 on the afternoon of 9/11/01, about 1 hour 20 minutes before the building collapsed, and nearly an hour before the BBC reported that it had collapsed. NIST has adjusted the intensities.

The above frame occurs around 1:43 on the LiveLeak video embedded on the Daily Mail page.

And Figure 5-138 corresponds to a frame around 0:15 in the video. The flame height extends a little above the bottom of the window. NIST, in referring to this image, describes the flames as "small flames burning on the window frames".

The Mail reporter has concocted a 'theory' of how the fires were supposed to have brought down the building - the "exterior metal beams" were "overheated" and began to "buckle", which "led to floors falling in on one another, causing the building to collapse". The article asserts that "you can even see the metal bars of the exterior buckling". However, those "exterior metal beams" or "bars" are simply aluminum window frames, and have nothing to do with holding up thesteel-framed building or the floors. The exterior columns were fireproofed 14-inch W-shapes (W14) fabricated from ASTM A36 steel. There were 58 exterior columns (counting "14A") and 24 core columns.

Even NIST did not try to pretend that columns heated significantly. They ran simulations, which they termed "Case A", "Case B", and "Case C". In Case B they increased Case A temperatures by 10%, and in Case C they decreased Case A temperatures by 10%.

From 10.4 in their report:

The following is a list of findings common to the three Cases:
In none of the Cases did any of the columns, all of which were insulated, reach temperatures sufficiently high for significant loss of strength or stiffness.
The temperatures of Columns 79, 80, and 81 stayed below 200 °C on all of the floors.
Only on Floors 12 and 13 did any of the exterior column temperatures exceed 150 °C.
On these floors, the temperatures on the east and south exterior columns reached 300 °C.

Source:NIST NCSTAR 1-9, Final Report released November 2008

The video shows fires burning on the 8th floor, and NIST admits that the exterior columns on that floor did not exceed 150 °C. A temperature of 150 °C is not going to induce buckling in steel columns.
Early Google captures confirm that the Mail's article originally included the reporter's name, Meghan Keneally. After the article came in for a lot of stick, being variously condemned in the earlier comments as "rubbish", "utterly pathetic", "disappointing", "official propaganda", and "the stupidest article of dis-information", and elsewhere described as looking "like it was written by a child for a school essay", the attribution was hastily deleted and revised to "DAILY MAIL REPORTER".

It can also been seen that the unsustainable lie about the video being "unseen" footage was changed to "rare" footage. Yeah, right. Rare enough for multiple frames extracted from it to be all over the NIST report and seen by millions of people over the past three years.

Ms. Keneally is an American-born freelance journalist and dual U.S. - British citizen who alternates between Manhattan and London. Her bio and résumé show that she received a "Master’s degree at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism" - a "Master of Science", inter alia. Thus, Ms. Keneally is not simply too gormless and scientifically illiterate to understand how the fact that various elements have various melting points, along with forensic evidence that indicates the temperatures attained in some particular incident, especially when corroborated by the presence of accelerants that will produce such temperatures, tells us whether or not accelerants were employed by criminals with access to the buildings involved in the incident in question. In this case, it was to ensure that the buildings collapsed to provide the casus belli they required for their wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and possibly Iran.

However, years of brainwashing that induces an inverted world-view in which conspiracy facts are perceived as conspiracy theories and vice versa, along with a clear understanding that a failure to support the official line on events like 9/11 would be career suicide, leads to otherwise intelligent journalists posting "rubbish" and "dis-information" that "comes across like it was written by a child for a school essay". And to be fair, journalists have deadlines to meet, and do not have the luxury of being able to spend weeks on an article after having already researched the subject in their spare time over most of the previous decade.

There isirrefutable evidence showing that conspiracy theories such as "the Arabs did 9/11" and "Hani Hanjour flew Flight 77 into the Pentagon" are nothing more than a legend fabricated to go with a false-flag terror operation that was conceived and orchestrated for political and business purposes, and touted for public consumption by the true perpetrators and their agents. As to why some people choose to live in denial and cling to such theories despite their implausibility, this question is best answered by psychologists such as those featured on the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth video 9/11: Explosive Evidence, Experts Speak Out, or by Laurie Manwell at the Toronto Hearings.

It took NIST until 2008 to come up with their "thermal expansion" theory of collapse. That was after early attempts at implicating diesel fuel came apart at the seams, when it was found that the evidence against the diesel fuel hypothesis was too overwhelming for it to be advocated even by government scientists. But the "thermal expansion" theory not only fails to account for the presence of active thermitic material and evidence of extremely high temperatures; it even fails to account for collapse of the building.

At 400 °C, the temperature required to retain rigidity, thermal expansion of a 52-ft floor beam would have been 3.3 inches; less than the required 5.5 inches for the connection to "walk off" its seat. Even at 600 °C, the expansion of the beam would be no more than 0.000014 x (600 - 25) x (52 x 12) = 5.0 inches.

Combustibles at any given location would be fully consumed within about twenty minutes, so it is unrealistic to imagine that a beam insulated with Monokote MK-5 would be heated to 600 °C along the whole of its length at any given time. In any case, even NISTadmitted in 2004 that the fire on Floor 12, below the girder between columns 79 and 44 under Floor 13 that was supposed to have failed at 5:20 p.m. initiating a total collapse, was burned out by 4:45 p.m. In fact, the east end fire there had burned out before 4:00 p.m. And it is ludicrous to suppose that failure of a single column in a high-rise would be so catastrophic an event as to induce global collapse of the building in the manner of a controlled demolition, with the symmetrical failure of 400 steel connections per second. Buildings of 47 or 110 stories are over-engineered to ensure they don't collapse from office fires or from a single column failure.

Moreover, the explicit testimony ofBarry Jennings, an eyewitness whotold of how he was trapped in WTC7 by early explosions prior to the collapse of either Tower, directly contradicts the official theory as touted by NIST that fires in WTC7 led to its collapse after being ignited during the collapse of the Twin Towers. Sadly, Mr. Jennings died on August 19, 2008, just two days before NIST released the draft version of its WTC7 report. The 'coincidental' timing of NIST's draft release is consistent with NIST delaying publication until receiving confirmation of the death.

NIST postulating its "thermal expansion" collapse theory is analogous to a corrupt policeman who dismisses bullets and bullet wounds found in a corpse, pretends they are not there, and reports that the death was a result of being hit on the head by a piece of paper.

Apart from Meghan Keneally's apparent blunder in confusing window panes with exterior columns, and attempt to outdo NIST in proposing a collapse theory in seven minutes when it took them seven years to do the same, she has advanced one of the biggest straw man arguments of all time. No one claims that there were never any fires burning in WTC7. There has always been evidence of office fires at WTC1, 2 and 7, and a confirmation of that is not news and will not cause anyone to change their mind.

The problem is that "office fires" don't bring down steel-framed high-rises, they don't produce anorange-yellow flow of tons of molten material pouring out of the windows that isindicative of an iron-rich melt andtotally at odds with the "office fires" scenario, they don't create dust containing tons of unreacted nano-thermite and 5.87% iron spherules by mass, and they don't leave tons of molten iron and steel in a pile of debris. "Office fires" don't leave heavily sulfidated, partly evaporated steel members with a Swiss cheese appearance, especially from a building such as WTC7 where there was no plane to dislodge the fireproofing. Neither do underground fires that have been smothered with tens of thousands of tons of concrete dust, hosed with three million gallons of water and exposed to another million gallons of rain all within the first ten days, and sprayed with thousands of gallons of the fire retardant foaming agent Pyrocool FEF. When such fires are subjected to "a nearly constant jet of water" sprayed on them that effectively creates a "giant lake", they should not mysteriously continue to burn for more than three months. It took a mere twelve-and-a-half minutes using 500 gallons of Pyrocool FEF to extinguish the Nassia oil tanker fire near Instanbul, Turkey.

Analysis of dust samples obtained from the vicinity of the World Trade Center, one of them from the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge "about ten minutes after the fall of the North Tower" and thereby eliminating any possibility of contamination from the clean-up, showed that active thermitic material was ubiquitous in the dense dust that settled over Manhattan following the collapses of the Twin Towers. The dust contained an abundance of iron spheres and distinctive red-gray chips comprised of 40 nm-thick aluminum plates and 100 nm iron oxide grains embedded in a silicon-carbon matrix. Tests using a differential scanning calorimeter determined that the energy release of the red-gray chips was up to 7 kJ/g. Although reality deniers unable to handle the truth and others attempting to cover for the 9/11 perpetrators lied by claiming that the material was "primer paint", that is robustly refuted by the facts. Unlike primer paint, these chips did not dissolve after 55 hours in MEK paint solvent with agitation, had a low electrical resistance of ~ 10 ohms per meter, contained no zinc, magnesium or chromium, and ignited at ~ 430 C to form iron-rich spherules, indicative of a thermitic reaction yielding a molten iron product.

In contrast to the "office fires" hypothesis, the existence of tons of active thermitic material capable of yielding iron- or steel-melting temperatures in a reaction that generates its own source of pure oxygen from the reduction of iron oxide, with some of the material nano-sized and igniting at around 430 °C, could account for the collapses and the observed phenomena before and after collapse. Thermitic material has a lower calorific value than combustibles such as kerosene or wood, but those produce much lower temperatures when burning in air because oxygen is inextricably mixed with at least 3.77 times as much nitrogen and argon, which must be heated in the reaction before heat can be transmitted to the surroundings, e.g. to steel members. The transmission of energy away from the hot gases lowers the flame temperature from its adiabatic value, commensurate with the proportion of energy that is transmitted. In the WTC fires some 40% (one-third to one-half according to FEMA) of the energy released was vented out to drive the smoke plume. Oxides of nitrogen are not formed at the temperatures found in office fires, and in any case, most nitrogen oxides have a positive heat of formation (compared to zero for the elements such as N₂), which means that oxidation of nitrogen is not an exothermic (heat-releasing) reaction. If it were, the world would be a very dangerous place indeed.

The evidence for molten and even vaporized metals is the Achilles heel of the official story.

Although the Bentham Open Chemical Physics Journal paper on active thermitic material was peer-reviewed - notwithstanding fallacious lies by scientifically illiterate so-called "debunkers", NIST amusingly shies away from peer-review of its own work. NIST refuses to provide details of the input parameters for its computer models of the WTC7 fires, on the grounds that such release would "jeopardize public safety".

The Mail article says that a failure to believe the official line of "Al Qaeda terrorists" carrying out the 9/11 attacks amounts to "wild claims". However, "wild claims" rarely gain the support of structural engineers, architects, physicists, mechanical engineers, metallurgical engineering graduates, PhD scientists, fire protection engineers, fire-fighters, electrical design engineers, explosives technicians, psychologists, international judges, etc. There is one exception: in the case of a carefully-planned operation to brainwash the public by a global crime syndicate that has taken control of the mainstream media, banking, and has political leaders under its thumb. Then, almost everyone will initially believe the Stalinesque revision of events, but over the ensuing years an ever-increasing group of people will realise that they've been lied to. Those who take the longest to learn do so not necessarily because they are stupid, but because they tend to work for government or government agencies, or they are very trusting of government. They perceive it as a benevolent institution, and they refuse to believe that presidents and prime ministers could be psychopathic puppets in the hands of an evil Mafia. Such people have a crippled epistemology, since they obtain their information from a limited range of sources (e.g. the mainstream media), and their prejudices prevent them from conducting a critical analysis of multiple sources.

Here's the comment that the writer originally submitted to the Mail's page:

Electron microprobe (WDS) analysis of solidified slag found in the WTC debris pile determined an abundance of iron but very little aluminum. Analysis of the WTC dust found it to contain 5.87% iron spheres by mass - which is 150 times higher than in dust samples from typical office buildings - and red-gray chips. A study of these chips, described in an April 2009 25-page peer-reviewed paper that has never been refuted, concluded they were a nano-engineered, unreacted thermitic material comprised of 40 nm-thick aluminum plates and 100 nm iron oxide grains embedded in a silicon-carbon matrix. Unlike primer paint, these chips did not dissolve after 55 hours in MEK paint solvent with agitation, had a low electrical resistance of ~ 10 ohms per meter, contained no zinc, magnesium or chromium, and ignited at ~ 430 C to form iron-rich spherules, indicative of a thermitic reaction yielding a molten iron product. Fireproofed steel members from WTC7 were found to have partially evaporated.

The form field indicates that postings of up to a 1,000 character limit are accepted, and this is confirmed by comments that have appeared and are very close to this limit. There is also a statement that "the comments below have not been moderated".

Source:DailyMail.co.uk

After submission the post did not appear, so the next attempt involved splitting it up into two, and changing "solidified slag" to "previously molten metal" in case their computer thought "slag" was an abusive reference to a woman. Following that second attempt, the comments did show up. After a poster using the name "sara goldstein" declared that "conspiracy theorists are sooo stupid" and claimed that the heat of a "bonfire" would be "clearly hot enough to collapse an [sic] building", another post was prepared and broken up into three parts, such that each was well within the character limit:

For those who complain that opponents of the official 9/11 story just "cry about melted steel and stuff", I'll explain the significance. The laws of probability, thermodynamics and thermochemistry dictate that military-grade unreacted nano-thermite does not form spontaneously, and office fires of hydrocarbons burning in air of up to 21% oxygen cannot melt iron or steel. The time evolution of a spontaneous process will be in the direction of increasing entropy; thus, a sophisticated, highly energetic, nano-engineered accelerant comprising 40 nm-thick aluminum plates and 100 nm iron oxide grains requires a 'creator' - e.g., the U.S. or Israeli military.

It's all very well saying fires are "hot", but an exothermic reaction (combustion) only releases energy equal to the difference in heats of formation of the reactants and the products. Office fires must heat the 79% nitrogen inherent in air, which is intimately part of the mix. Heat does not flow from cooler to warmer zones unless work is performed by an external agent, e.g. as in a refrigerator. Thus, the heat released of 13.1 kJ/g of oxygen consumed - or less in a fuel-rich, oxygen-depleted, black smoke-generating office fire - produces gas temperatures below the melting points of iron and steel after heat is transmitted from the gaseous product to the environment such as steel members. These can approach, but never reach or exceed, the gas temperatures.

On the other hand, the thermitic reaction produces iron-melting temperatures of ~ 2,500 C because the aluminum burns with pure oxygen that has been taken from the iron oxide. Molten elemental iron is actually one of the products. This is why the National Fire Protection Association NFPA 921 Guide for Fire and Explosion Investigations (19.2.4, 2001 Edition) points out that melted steel or concrete is a sign of exotic accelerants such as thermite. Reams and literally tons of multiple, corroborating evidence proves beyond doubt that WTC1, 2 and 7 were taken down in controlled demolitions and, by extension, the Arabs were 9/11 patsies not perpetrators.

The first attempt at posting the first section was unsuccessful. Hours later, in a second attempt, the suspected sources for the nano-thermite were revised from "the U.S. or Israeli military" to "the U.S. military". Pass! The comment was accepted this time. So apparently the Mail's computer deems "Israeli" to be a dirty word - at least, in any discussion about 9/11.

The second part did not appear. In case they had set their filter to censor discussion of "Israeli agents", the word "agent" was changed to "device" and resubmitted, but to no avail.

It's no surprise that the Mail's Managing Director (since 1994) is Guy Zitter, a "British" Jew with a BSc in commerce, who was a senior Finance Officer for the Seychelles government and used to run a nightclub there.

As will be demonstrated below, newspapers run by Zionist Jews have a powerful motive to mislead the public regarding the events of 9/11/01. Given that Daily Mail writers include Zionist Jew Melanie Phillips who peddles the official story about "al Qaeda" and even posted speculative nonsense about Iranian involvement in 9/11 now that Zionist warmongers have set their sights on Iran, and the rabidly Zionist Richard Littlejohn who draws readers in with his 'humor' and then sells them a bunch of bull about a "war [that] the Islamonazis have declared on our civilisation", the evidence points towards Guy Zitter being a Zionist Jew.

Proof of Israel's central role in 9/11

It is proven beyond the slightest shadow of doubt that Israeli agents had foreknowledge of 9/11, and together with scientific forensic proof of controlled demolitions of WTC1, 2 and 7 along with the sheer implausibility of many elements of the official account such as Hani Hanjour flying a Boeing 757 into the first floor of the Pentagon at 530 mph with the engines clearing the lawn by a couple of feet, this wasn't simply a case of LIHOP. It wasn't merely a question of Zionists who were aware of a Muslim aircraft hijacking plot yet purposely let it happen. It was MIHOP: criminal Zionist Jews planned and orchestrated the 9/11 attacks. They made it happen on purpose and made damn sure that the Twin Towers collapsed killing thousands of people, so that Israel's so-called "allies" would be sufficiently outraged to wage war on Israel's foes.

In late September 2001,a large-scale 37-nation poll of world opinion carried out by Gallup International found Mexico to be more opposed to the Afghanistan war than almost any other - if not any other - nation, with 94% of Mexicans favoring a legal response in the form of extradition and trial, rather than military action. A couple weeks later, Mossad agent Salvador Guersson Smecke and Israeli illegal immigrant Saur Ben Zvi were caught red-handed andarrested inside the Mexican Congress chamber in possession ofguns, grenades, dynamite, detonators and wiring while posing as "press photographers". That failed false-flag operation, onOctober 10, 2001, was aimed at boostingMexican support for the war, a mere three daysinto the invasion.

The very first people arrested on suspicion of involvement in the 9/11 attacks turned out to be five Israeli Jews: Sivan Kurzberg, Paul Kurzberg (Sivan's brother), Oded Ellner, Yaron Shmuel and Omer Marmari. Their white Urban Moving Systems van was stopped and they were arrested within hours of the attacks, on the afternoon of 9/11/01. Sivan Kurzberg, Ellner and Shmuel had been observed by several eyewitnesses at the rear parking lot of the Doric apartment complex in Union City, New Jersey. They were seen atop the van with cameras, high-fiving, smiling, joking with cries of joy and mockery, hugging each other, and taking photographs and video of the Twin Towers within a few minutes of the first plane impact.

Source: KURZBERG, SIVAN ET AL (FBI report), Section 5

In fact, they were seen filming atop the van before the local news radio station 1010 WINS had even broken the news of the first plane crash. The station actually had one of its sales team account executives on her cell phone to its newsroom before the first plane crashed after she noticed it was too low and was going to crash, and so were quickly able to patch her on air to provide a live report. When seen, Ellner was kneeling at the back of the van facing New York City with his camera and Kurzberg and Shmuel were facing him. After their film was developed and processed by the FBI, the photographs depicted all three Israelis visibly smiling. In one photo, Kurzberg could be seen flicking a lighter like he was at a rock concert as the North Tower burned in the background. This jovial celebration was taking place before the second impact, when innocent bystanders believed the incident was merely a tragic accident.
When arrested, the Israelis - dubbed the "High-Fivers" by the FBI - were found to have airline tickets with immediate travel dates for destinations world-wide, and tie-ins to 9/11.

Original source: The Record (Bergen County)

Early reports said that these "tie-ins" were "maps of the city" with "certain places highlighted" linking the Israelis to the "bombing plot". Carl Cameron's subsequent Fox News report of 12/12/01 told of a "highly placed investigator" who admitted that there were tie-ins, but refused to provide details. The investigator stated, "Evidence linking these Israelis to 9-11 is classified, I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It is classified information." In other words, there is evidence linking them, but the investigator can't confirm the early reports regarding maps because Israel is too high in the pecking order.

Marc Perelman of New York's Jewish weekly The Forward reported on March 15, 2002 that the FBI had concluded that at least two of the Israelis were agents working for the Mossad, and their employer Urban Moving Systems Incorporated was a suspected intelligence front. On September 14, 2001, Urban's ownerDominick Suter fled the U.S.for Israel. Perelman also tells on video of how he was able to confirm that, according to the FBI, two of the five Israelis were "Mossad agents". Christopher Ketcham says the transcripts of the Carl Cameron report were later removed from the Fox News website following pressure from Abe Foxman of the ADL, and replaced with the rather Orwellian message: "This story no longer exists".

The FBI documents on the five Israelis were heavily redacted before release, with the more politically sensitive parts blanked out and classified until 2030 or 2035. Nevertheless, the information retained shows that Paul Kurzberg worked for the Jewish Agency, and his brother Sivan's job in Israel had involved hunting Arabs of whom the Zionist regime did not approve. The FBI documents also show how the NS-2C Unit of its "National Security Division" from FBI Headquarters, Washington, D.C., in a communication dated 09/24/2001, ordered FBI-Newark to call off its investigation of the Israelis and to "assist US Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) in any INS proceedings for the five Israeli Nationals in detention at the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York". Dual US-Israeli citizen Michael Chertoff, who co-authored the USA Patriot Act" and headed the Justice Department's Criminal Division in the aftermath of 9/11, is a prime suspect for pulling strings to get the Israelis released and sent home.

All three Israelis lied, providing conflicting alibis of how they came to be seen at the Doric parking lot within such a short time of the first plane crash. Their alibis were physically impossible, given the time available for one of them to receive a telephone call from a friend alerting him to the news of a plane crash, then to read about the event on the Israeli news site YNET.co.il and the U.S. site CNN.com on two of their moving company's sixteen computers, then for the three of them to make the bizarre decision that it would be worth leaving their workplace - and risk the wrath of their boss who was "tight with money" and normally did not let his employees take his vans for personal use - to "document" for "history" a simple plane crash that no innocent person could have known would turn out to be the defining event of the turn of the century, to gather up their cameras which they luckily had with them at work that day and run out to their employer's van, to drive through rush hour traffic on what is normally a four to five-minute journey as they thought of a suitable location on the fly, make a left turn into an apartment block and drive around to the rear parking lot, get out and climb onto the roof of the van with their cameras, ending up at a location where one of them (Sivan Kurzberg) had been sighted the previous day posing as a "construction worker", all of this having to occur within a few minutes before the local news radio station had broken the news of the first plane crash. In their first alibis, Shmuel claimed they were on the West Side Highway in New York City at the time of the "incident", Kurzberg said they first climbed onto the Urban Moving Systems roof and were then stuck in heavy traffic before arriving at Doric, and Ellner claimed they stopped at a Gulf gas station on the way to Doric after hearing of the first plane crash. Ellner's new, improved alibi was the variation in which he received a telephone call from a friend alerting him to the first plane crash, and two of the Israelis then spent "a few minutes" reading about the event on CNN.com and YNET.co.il before setting off to Doric.

In the real world, as opposed to some fantasy dreamed up by tinfoil conspiracy kooks or concocted by inveterate liars about nineteen Arabs with box cutters, events occur in a certain well-defined order that all observers can agree on, unless they are traveling at relativistic velocities or someone has invented a way of bending the local space-time manifold. Websites such as CNN.com did not carry the news until after 8:49:34, and the first reports were of a fire, not a plane crash. Traffic to news sites was so heavy that many servers collapsed. CNN.com and the Israeli news site YNET.co.il did not have news posted about the first plane crash at a time such that several Israelis could browse the internet and read about it on Urban Moving's computers for a "few minutes" (which would imply that there was already so much detail about the event on news sites that it must have been long after the first impact), then go on a four or five-minute journey through rush-hour traffic, make a left turn and drive around to a parking lot at the back of an apartment complex, jump out and climb onto the top of the van and turn on their cameras, all before the local AM news radio station 1010 WINS was able to broadcast its breaking news report from a WINS account executive who was on scene and actually on her cell phone to the WINS newsroom before the first plane crashed. And all in the time it takes for a Doric apartment resident to be prompted to look out of the window by the sound of the impact or explosion as the first plane slammed into the North Tower at approximately 8:46:30 a.m., to scan the area for a minute or two before observing the smoke from the WTC, then to "immediately" telephone her friend, and for her friend to grab her binoculars and look out of the window and see the three Israelis atop the van. No browsing the internet, leaving work to go on a drive through rush-hour traffic, or climbing onto the roof of a van required. And all in the time it takes another eyewitness at Doric to notice the disaster, to walk along to an apartment to inform his colleague within five minutes of the first impact, and for the colleague to stand up from painting the baseboard and look out of the window to see the three Israelis atop the van.

The Doric location afforded an excellent view of both the North and South Towers across the Hudson River in New York City, and was an ideal location for recording video footage of planes approaching each Tower - one from the north and one from the south. In contrast, the Urban Moving Systems office and warehouse was north of the World Trade Center, and although it provided a view of the top of the North Tower, it would have been a lousy choice for anyone planning to "document" an event that included a plane approaching from the south to crash into the South Tower. Moreover, the Israelis quickly left the parking lot after the second plane crash, which would be puzzling behavior for wannabe journalists who'd just seen two plane crashes and were not to know there wouldn't be a third. At the time they were seen celebrating the first plane crash they were not out on a delivery or collection as part of their job. Oded Ellner later said on Israeli TV that their purpose was to "document the event".

No evidence for the "nineteen Arabs with box cutters" tinfoil conspiracy theory

There is no credible evidence that Arab "hijackers" were on any of the four 9/11 planes. Mossad agents posing as "art students" - agents of the true 9/11 perpetrators - had been concentrated around the Hollywood, Florida area, which is where 15 of the 19 alleged hijackers were living in June 2001.

Amemorandum by Gerald Shea features a document known as the DEA report, which describes how more than a hundredIsraelis were in the U.S. posing as "art students" between January 2000 and September 2001, andattempting to penetrate U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) offices and other federal buildings including36 sensitive Department of Defense (DoD) sites. Shea writes:

A third principal was Hanan Serfaty (or Sarfati), a team leader residing in Hollywood, Florida. When questioned by the DEA in Tampa, Florida, on March 1, 2001, he had in his possession bank deposit slips amounting to more than $100,000 from December 2000 through the first quarter of 2001, and withdrawal slips for slightly less than that amount during the period. Mr. Serfaty served in the Israeli military between the ages of 18 and 21, but refused to disclose to the DEA his activities between the ages of 21 and 24, including his activities since his U.S. arrival at age 23 in 2000.¹⁴ Another was Peer Segalovitz of Tamarac, Florida (about 20 miles west of Hollywood—see MAP 1), an active officer in an Israeli special forces battalion who commanded 80 men in the Golan Heights. He was detained in Orlando on May 3, 2001.

Shea continues:

...in June 2001, just two or three months before the September 11 hijackings, 15 of the 19 future hijackers were also living in Hollywood, nine in the town itself and six in surrounding towns (see Exhibit B and MAPS 1 and 2). Hollywood, for months, had been and would continue to be the staging ground for the hijacking of the World Trade Center Planes and the Pennsylvania Plane. Among the Israeli groups, more than 30 lived in the Hollywood area, 10 in Hollywood itself.

Anyone believing the official version of events should have been asking what the hell were so many Israeli spies doing in the U.S., supposedly an "ally" of Israel, which is a country the size of New Jersey. After all, Israel's enemies are supposed to be the Palestinians and neighboring Arab states. Any Palestinian "terrorist" who wanted to blow up Israelis would simply go ahead and do so, not go traveling around the globe and training for months or years to become a pilot. And if the Mossad were so hot on tracking Arab terrorists and there really had been an "Arab" plot to crash planes into the World Trade Center, then they should have provided a public warning so that everyone could have been evacuated. Of course, the Mossad did warn some people. Thetwo hours' advance warning of an attack on the WTC transmitted through Odigo, the Israeli instant messaging company with offices in Herzliya and New York, was probably sent to some individuals at the level of vice-president or above. Larry Silverstein was well aware that he and his children could not turn up for work at the WTC on the morning of 9/11.

An important part of these Mossad agents' job was to craft the "Arabs did 9/11" legend by stealing passports and finding Arabs to frame, for example by carefully observing the movements of Saudi Airlines flight engineers who'd been sent to Florida for pilot training because the airline was eliminating flight engineers from its three-member crews. The program had ended for some of the engineers shortly before 9/11, which is why they were leaving the Vero Beach, Florida area around that time. Problem was, it meant that many of the "dead hijackers" would turn up alive and indignant, probably in Saudi Arabia, and those pushing the legend would have to resort to claiming it was just lots of cases of mistaken identity. A good exposition of the frame-up and the evolving list of hijackers' names can be found in Paul Zarembka's The Hidden History of 9-11.

If Satam al-Suqami, Waleed al-Shehri and Wail al-Shehri had been on the flight manifests, the authorities would not have initially claimed Adnan Bukhari, Ameer Bukhari and Amer Kamfar as hijackers in their place. Adnan was found to be alive and living in Florida. Ameerdied in a small plane crash on September 11, 2000 - exactly one year too early. On September 14, 2001, Kamfar was reported as being possibly alive and "armed with an AK-47", and then he turned out to be alive and innocent and living in Mecca: one of those flight engineer / pilots who'd been recalled from Vero Beach to Saudi Arabia. And given that Ameer Bukhari had been dead for a year and Adnan Bukhari was not a hijacker, the claim that their names were on paperwork relating to a rented 2001 silver-blue Nissan Altima found at Portland International Jetport, Maine, was a lie. The alternative is a story that makes no sense: that Atta rented a Mitsubishi sedan in his real name, then bizarrely abandoned the Mitsubishi at Boston's Logan Airport and inexplicably rented a Nissan using identities stolen from the Bukharis to travel to Portland with Alomari on a journey that meant they would risk missing their connecting flight with the consequent failure of their mission.

Of course, the Portland diversion was a necessary part of the legend because this was the only video footage the authorities had of any of the "hijackers" at an airport within days of 9/11. The grainy "surveillance video" that lacked a time stamp, purportedly of "hijackers" at Washington Dulles, was not released until July 2004. And they also had images of Atta and Alomari at a Portland ATM in which their faces were clear enough for a positive identification. The Portland narrative provided the opportunity for Atta's baggage to be 'found' with lots of incriminating 'evidence' after the baggage supposedly missed Atta's final flight, as if a suicide pilot would choose to take their last will and testament with them on a plane that they were planning to crash into a skyscraper, rather than leave it some place where it would certainly be found (or destroy it instead, if they didn't want it to be found).

For anyone in need of "Saudi suicide pilots" to frame as patsies, the deceased pilot Ameer Bukhari, a Saudi Arabian national of Vero Beach, Florida, would have been an ideal choice provided they could keep the lid on the fact that he had died in the "wrong" year. The "Alomari" hijacker wasoriginally Abdul Rahman Alomari, a pilot, friend and neighbor of Adnan Bukhari. When Alomari was found to be alive, as was Adnan Bukhari, the hijacker was claimed to be Abdulaziz Alomari. Problem is, he turned up alive too, although his name and birth date matched that of the FBI's "terrorist". And he's never been a pilot. His passport was stolen when his apartment in Denver, Colorado, was burgled in 1995.

Daniel Mark Lewin, an Israeli-"American" Zionist Jew who was briefly a billionaire at the height of the dot-com boom in 1999, is said to have been on Flight 11. Lewin, in common with Benjamin Netanyahu who declared on separate occasions that 9/11 was "very good" and beneficial for Israel, served in the clandestine IDF special forces unitSayeret Matkal, is an alumnus of MIT, and was part raised in the U.S. and part raised in Jerusalem. Sayeret Matkal was a part of Aman (military intelligence "unit 154"), and many of its members were originally Aman "mista'arvim" - experts at disguising themselves as Arabs. In an interesting 'coincidence', Lewin and Abdulaziz Alomari were both claimed to have been on Flight 11, and Lewin was a native of Denver, which is where one of the "wrong" Alomaris had his passport stolen.

Another remarkable 'coincidence' is that one alleged hijacker - Ziad al-Jarrah - wasthe cousin of Ali al-Jarrah, who happened to have been working from 1983 to 2008 as an Israeli intelligence asset. Ali's brother Yusuf is also understood to have helped Ali betray his compatriots by spying for Israel. Ali al-Jarrah received more than $300,000 for his "work" from Israel. The New York Times claimed that the two cousins did not "appear" to have known each other "well", a tacit admission that they did know each other. The most likely explanation for this 'coincidence' is that Ziad al-Jarrah was also an Israeli intelligence asset who had beenrecruited by his older cousin.

There is multiple corroborating evidence thatMuslims did not do 9/11, and that Israel played a central role, aided by corrupt elements of the Bush administration. This is reinforced by Zionist Jews' role in the cover-up: Jerome Hauer's appearance on TV within hours of the attacks peddling the official story about "Osama bin Laden" and buildings that collapsed because of plane impacts and intense fires, the Herzliya-based Don Radlauer's publication of a report detailing the flight paths of the alleged four hijacked planes that suggested hijacking and steering the planes would have been an easy task, Eddie Guigui Shalev's claim that Hani Hanjour was a "good" pilot, and Bernard Kerik's receipt of more than $236,000 (as "rent") from Steven C. Witkoff along with a $250,000 "loan" originatingfrom Eitan Wertheimer, after Kerik had traveled to Israel two weeks prior to 9/11/01 where he met Wertheimer, and thenclaimed on 9/16/01 that a "hijacker's passport" had been "discovered" - implying that it had miraculously got separated from the "hijacker's" clothing or baggage and another hundred tons of aircraft debris, survived the Flight 11 fireball, and floated down to the ground in almost pristine condition despite being soaked with jet fuel.

Wertheimer - whose father Stef helped to make weapons for Jewish terrorists before 1948, and whose family was listed by Forbes magazine as fourth-richest in Israel as of March 2011 with a net worth of $4 billion -was reading the infamous Popular Mechanics at the age of 4. In its March 2005 edition, Popular Mechanics ran a dishonest piece purporting to be "debunking the myths" of "9/11 conspiracy theories". They did not even make a half-hearted attempt to 'explain' forensic evidence such as molten steel at the WTC by, for example, pretending it was aluminum or lead. They just totally ignored it, dodging the issue with the non sequitur that the "steel frames didn't need to melt" in order for the buildings to collapse, and then attacked straw man claims, e.g. about video 'evidence' of a "pod" on Flight 175.

Others attempting to cover for their crooked co-religionists include Cass Sunstein and David Aaronovitch, the former trying to counter 9/11 truth by infiltration, and the latter by mixing in lots of straw men, denying evidence that he finds inconvenient and bringing out the old chestnut about how it would have needed a lot of conspirators. In other words, Aaronovitch and Popular Mechanics employ a similar sophistry.

Ironically, journalists who attempt to defend the official 9/11 legend are actually benefitting the truth movement when they bring attention to Building 7, or when their shaky assertions serve to highlight the inadequacies of the legend. Of course, Meghan Keneally's article could have been designed to help 9/11 truth whilst duping the Mail's bosses into thinking it was anti-truth.

Given that a mainstream journalist attempting to submit unequivocally pro-truth articles would risk being fired and would not expect to see their work published, journalists should research 9/11 privately, and then discuss it with like-minded colleagues until an overwhelming majority have learnt the truth and are in a position to stand up to their crooked bosses. Otherwise, how can any objective, unbiased reporting be expected from the mainstream media on a matter as important as 9/11, as long as it is run by Asiatic Mongoloid war-loving, money-grubbing, truth-hating, amoral Neanderthals, chancers, hedonists and infiltrators whose loyalty is to none other than atheistic self-styled "Jews" and the Mishpucka?

Why those who say 9/11 was a Zionist job are not "anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists"

Those who are relatively new to the issues of false-flag terrorism, Zionism and the New World Order may be asking themselves if suggestions that Israel did 9/11 is a "conspiracy theory" or is "anti-Semitic". That disinformation has been disseminated by the 9/11 perpetrators, who love to exploit it as a means of deflecting attention from themselves, their crimes and deceptions. Any hypothesis about a crime committed by two or more people is a conspiracy theory. However, the 9/11 conspiracy theory of "nineteen Arabs with box cutters" is (almost) the most ridiculous of all conspiracy theories, since the evidence totally refutes it. The perpetrators deliberately float even crazier theories such as "aluminum planes could not have penetrated the WTC" and "WTC was hit by hologram missiles that look like planes". They are aware that the official legend will look quite reasonable in comparison, and 9/11 truth will be tarnished by association with garbage such as "no planes at the WTC", "space beam weapons destroyed the WTC", and "nukes destroyed the WTC".

The 'evidence' that is supposed to support the official conspiracy theory is planted, fake evidence, such as a "hijacker's passport" that was "discovered", or an"Osama confession" video that was conveniently "found" amongst all the buildings in Jalalabad (population estimated atroughly 250,000 as of 1999) in occupied Afghanistan within 5 weeks of it allegedly having been made, in which the only similarities between the "confessor" and OBL are that both of them wore a turban and sported a beard. Or "Osama" audiotapes, when they found it too embarrassing to bring out the same old photo each time. And that was long after the realOsama bin Laden haddenied responsibility for the attacks. Twice, that is, even helpfullysuggesting some possible suspects the second time. The evidence proving the official theory to be false is conspiracy fact, including ten years of hard science in which the material evidence now includes not only molten iron and evidence of extremely high temperatures (the "smoking gun"), but also active thermitic material (the "loaded gun"). Israelis with proven foreknowledge, a top Zionist Jew with access to the best Flight Termination System for electronically hijacking aircraft via a Command Transmitter System, an Israeli Instant Messaging service through which two hours' advance knowledge of an attack on the World Trade Center was transmitted, and Jews who were friends with four Israeli prime ministers and who took control of the WTC lease, andinsured the buildingsagainst terror attacks for billions of dollars, six weeks before the buildings were destroyed in terror attacks, not forgetting to insert a clause stating that in the event of a terrorist attack the partners couldnot only collect the insured value of the property, but would also be released from all of their obligations under the 99-year lease. See9/11 For Reality Deniers for more.

As for accusations of anti-Semitism, it just so happens that Jewish criminals are at the top of the food chain, and all the credible evidence - as opposed to fake evidence such as planted passports and Korans, phony videos and "confessions" extracted following waterboarding - demonstrates that Jews, not Muslims, masterminded the 9/11 attacks.

Jews comprise nearly 0.2% of the world population. The North American Jewish Data Bank provides details of a study that places the total Jewish population at 13,428,300 at the beginning of 2010. The Jewish Virtual Library has a more concise presentation with a useful set of tables that shows population by country. These sources state that the total human population was 6.900 billion as of 2010. So the probability of any given individual being Jewish is about 1 in 514. As of September 2011, the population of Israel was 7,797,400, and of those some 5,874,300 were Jewish. The world population was almost 7 billion by then, and so Israelis constitute 1 in 898 of the population, with Israeli Jews making up a 1 in 1,192 proportion. As will be shown below, those behind 9/11 were not only Jews and were not only Zionist Jews, they were rabidly Zionist Jews and so part of a much smaller group.

So we have the five Israeli Jews arrested on the afternoon of 9/11 after three of them were seen filming and celebrating almost immediately after the first plane impact. The FBI concluded that two of the five - most likely Paul and Sivan Kurzberg - were Mossad agents. Even allowing for many thousands of sayanim, these agents are part of a much smaller set than Israeli Jews.

Then we have Rabbi Dov Zakheim, who as the formerCEO of SPC International had access to world-leading aircraft remote control technology incorporating a "Flight Termination System" capable of simultaneously taking over a number of in-flight aircraft and issuing commands via a "Command Transmitter System". Zakheim was at SPC on October 31, 1999, around the time when the 9/11 planners would have wanted to carry out a trial run of electronically hijacking a Boeing aircraft. On that date, EgyptAir Flight 990 (a Boeing 767) plunged into the Atlantic, killing all 217 on board including33 Egyptian army officers. No mechanical cause for the crash was ever found, and it was blamed on a"suicidal Muslim" co-pilot, a claim that waspublicised by the New York Times, which had beenunder Jewish ownership since 1896. In September 2000 Zakheim was co-signatory to Rebuilding America's Defenses, a report published by The Project for the New American Century (PNAC), which wrote of the advantages of a "new Pearl Harbor", i.e. a false-flag terrorist act such as the electronic hijacking of several aircraft with corresponding controlled demolitions of several high-rises that would serve as casus belli for war. In February 2001 Zakheimwas nominated by George W. Bush to serve as Comptroller at the Pentagon and Under Secretary of Defense.Zakheim was sworn in as PentagonComptroller and Chief Financial Officer for the Department of Defense on May 4. On March 3, 2000, it had been reported thatthe Pentagon's finances were "in disarray", and that in 1999 the Defense Department's accountants had needed to make almost $7 trillion in "adjustments" to try to reconcile bookkeeping discrepancies. They could not show receipts for $2.3 trillion of those corrections. There were hundreds of computer systems running various military accounts, but these were not integrated, and the financial records were not up to accounting standards or capable of even facing an audit.

Thus, at the time Dov Zakheim was nominated for the position as Comptroller in charge of the Pentagon accounts, it was well known to potential fraudsters intent on stealing hundreds of billions of dollars that a terrorist strike targeting the Pentagon's bookkeeping section, destroying computers and documents, andkilling dozens of accountants, bookkeepers and budget analysts, would destroy any money trail leading back to them. On March 11, 2002, exactly six months after the Pentagon's bookkeeping section was targeted in a terrorist strike, Rabbi Dov Zakheimdelivered a commemorative sermon on the Pentagon lawn to hundreds of co-religionists from 40 countries. ChabadLubavitch rabbis had gathered ostensibly to launch the centenary commemoration of their spiritual leader, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson aka The Rebbe, yetthe rabbis sang "Oseh Shalom" at 9:38 a.m. at the crash site, exactly six months after the Pentagon had been attacked. The Rebbe was born April 5, not March 11, in 1902.
Prior to 9/11/01, Israel already had a well-deserved reputation for staging false-flag terrorism and a known capability for doing so. On September 10, 2001, the Washington Times published details of a study by the Army School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS), which hadthis to say of Israel's Mossad: "Wildcard. Ruthless and cunning. Has capability to target U.S. forces and make it look like a Palestinian/Arab act."

Towards the end of July, 2001, twobillionaire Jewish real estate developers who were friends with four Israeli prime ministers (excluding Yitzhak Rabin who was assassinated in 1995) took control of the World Trade Center (WTC) lease, andinsured the buildingsagainst terror attacks for billions of dollars, with a clause stating that in the event of a terrorist attack, the partners could not only collect the insured value of the property, butwould also be released from all of their obligations under the 99-year lease. Larry Silverstein was a friend ofBenjamin Netanyahu, Ariel Sharon and Ehud Barak. FrankLowy, who fought "in the Jewish underground", was a friend and business partner ofEhud Olmert. On September 4, 2001, one week prior to the 9/11 attacks, the Zim-American Israeli Shipping Co.moved out of the WTC, transferring their HQ to Norfolk, Virginia.Six weeks after the new controllers had taken over the lease, the WTC was destroyed in terror attacks. Uncharacteristically, Silverstein did not breakfast atthe Windows on the World restaurant on the 106th and 107th floors of the North Tower that day, and his two children were also spared as they also did not turn up for work at Silverstein Properties. The explanation provided was that Silverstein coincidently hada "dermatologist's appointment" on the morning of 9/11/01, and his children were "running late".

How many people are friends with three Israeli premiers? Even if six or seven thousand, such an exclusive group would be 1 in a million. And Larry Silverstein, the front man who took over the WTC lease six weeks before 9/11/01, and didn't go to the Windows on the World restaurant on the morning of 9/11/01 although he had done so every other morning since July 26, 2001, happened to be from such a group.

When two hours' advance warning of an attack on the WTC was transmitted via an instant messaging company, Odigo, that had an office in New York, the company happened to be Israeli. The Israeli population is the 1 in 898 group. However, Odigo's Israeli research and development office just happened to be in Herzliya, the location of the Mossad's headquarters and of Don Radlauer who was working to promote the "Arabs did 9/11" legend as early as September 13, 2001, with a claim that hijacking, steering and navigating Boeing aircraft would have been an "easy" task for hijackers. The population of Herzliya was 87,000 at the end of 2009, making this group 1 in 79,300 of the world population.

The ex-Sayeret Matkal Zionist Jew Daniel Lewin was reputedly on Flight 11, as mentioned above. The elite commando unit is clearly a very exclusive group.

The ex-Sayeret Matkal Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu wrote in 1995 about"militant Islam" bringing down the World Trade Center, twenty years after he earned a B.Sc. degree in architecture from MIT - where heused the surname Nitay, also having gained an M.Sc. in business management there, in which his thesis was on the impact of computers in the newspaper industry and how they could enhance newspapers' political power.

As for the London 7/7 bombings, Efraim Halevy, the London-born director of the Mossad from 1998 - 2002, inadvertently gave away his intimate knowledge of the operation by revealing in an article he wrote for the July 7 edition of the Jerusalem Post that he knew the bombings were simultaneous. The British authorities spent the next two days claiming that the three Tube explosions werespread over a period of 26 minutes from 08:51 to 09:17, before revising the story to simultaneous explosions.

Source

The official tale of "Muslim suicide bombers" wasphysically impossible, given the actual train times of the day following problems with the overhead lines in the Mill Hill area, and the official scenario of exploding backpacks was contradicted by eyewitness reports and photos indicating that the explosionsoriginated underneath the carriages. The Israeli companyVerint Systems, a subsidiary of Israel'sComverse Technology, handled video securityat the London Underground.

Benjamin Netanyahu andRudy Giuliani were both located in London on the morning of the 7/7 bombings.Netanyahu, obviously having foreknowledge of the terror operation, did not turn up for his scheduled speech at the 4th annual Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) Investors Conference in the Great Eastern Hotel. In an attempt at explanation, it was claimed that Scotland Yard hadprovided a warning. However, Scotland Yard refused to play along with the Israelis. It was later admitted via the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag thatMossad agents in London had advance knowledge, although the Mossad inserted a false, wildly unrealistic claim that they did not know until six minutes prior to the first explosion.

Giuliani, who was the boss and very good friend of former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik and the godfather of his young children, can be placedin Yorkshire the day before 7/7/05. Miraculously, rather like the "discovery" (announced by Kerik) of a passport bearing the name Satan al-Suqami, a till receipt obtained from a garden center at Tulip Retail Park in Leeds, Yorkshire was"found" to have survived one of the deadly Tube train blasts, and cited as 'evidence' for the official version of events.

Judaism Is Not The Problem

A Position Paper

That's the principal raison d'etre of this post. Ideally, it will serve as a handy reference for future online discussion and debate, so that a simple link to this page will obviate forever the hassle of having to repeat my position on this issue. It's been adapted from a comment posted at ZioFascism.net about a month ago and later made into a post by the consistently reasonable, never-afraid-to-tussle-with-idiocy site owner. The link might even be useful to you in the same way and for the same reasons, depending on your own position.

My position on the problems we face -- from the standpoint of Palestinian solidarity, anti-Zionism and as an anti-war realist who understands how central Israel and Zionism is to the post-9/11 war agenda -- and how those problems should be addressed, i.e. how the fight should be fought and what constitutes effective activism, is different to that of the ever-emergent fringe element of the anti-Zionist community, and everything I do and write is premised on that position. I consider my position to be uncontroversial given the facts. I don't accept that a focus on Zionism is 'anti-Semitic', and I would loosely describe it as the mainstream position of the informed anti-war majority: that is, those who identify as anti-Zionists as readily as they do anti-war, anti-corporate and anti-everything else.

On the fringe is another element, borne of illogic. The twisted sibling of its sane counterpart, it's a munted child of the Internet age and the limitless flow of information it has afforded us. Cast in a crucible of fear, outrage and vitriol is a minority who, faced with a sudden and even traumatic dose of the truth, represent living evidence that being well-informed doesn't necessarily leave a person better equipped. In this category are the likes of Mike Delaney aka Prothink, Adam "final solution" Austin, Brendon O'Connell et al, who come across as borderline if not outright racists. It's doubtful that they 'hate' anyone anymore than the next person, but their reckless bullshit makes them liabilities to the movement and leverage for the enemy regardless of their real potential to do harm, just as Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's "inflammatory" rhetoric has been a cornerstone of the pro-war narrative, misrepresented by the lying Western media and used to convince the masses that preemptive war is not only justified but the only sane and reasonable response.

This element is a fringe minority for a reason: under the scrutiny of discerning minds its warped views can't gain any traction, so there is no-one with mainstream credibility or prominence in its ranks, only a slew of low-profile players. The inbuilt limitations of movements like this serve as a kind of glass ceiling that can't be broken even by its most convincing and charismatic proponents, a kind of natural law that prevents toxic ideology from contaminating mainstream dissentience. Dr David Duke is an example, even if today he's a source of accurate information, and less a fringe nutter than an honest broker who refuses to be burdened by political correctness. Either way and regardless of his future accomplishments, he'll never win another local election or be taken seriously as an author, and while his tidbits and factoids may be useful to some, sadly he'll always discredit the individuals and groups that he associates himself with (just ask professors Walt and Mearsheimer). The reality and corrosiveness of this guilt-by-association effect is what makes the fringe element of anti-Zionism the major obstacle to the mainstreaming of the movement at large, which has never been more ripe for it.

O’Connell says:

“zionism” is not the problem - “judaism” is.

Judaism wasn’t behind the 9/11 attacks; Zionism was. Almost all the visible perps (and accessories after the fact) were secular Zionists. Very few were religious Jews. Silverstein, Lowy, the Israeli players and the majority of the neocon cabal were secular Jews. Some were religious Christian Zionist gentiles, some were religious Jewish Zionists, and others like Cheney and Rumsfeld were just Zionists. The Zionist media was and is for the most part secular; it’s predominantly Jewish, but it can’t rightly be characterized as being religiously Judaic. The broader Israel lobby (or the Jewish lobby, or the Zionist Power Configuration as James Petras calls it) is not about religion; it’s about politics. The common thread here, the one thing the 9/11 perps, the neocon hawks, the Jewish media, the Israeli elite, AIPAC, PNAC, WINEP, AEI, JINSA, Hudson et al all have in common is a passionate attachment to the state of Israel; that’s Zionism.

Most 9/11 researchers would agree that the 9/11 attacks (and the subsequent bombings in Bali and Britain) were carried out to make Israel’s business a global enterprise. Islamic terrorism, a practically exclusive Israeli preoccupation, would now be an American problem and a European problem -- the world's problem. A manufactured fear of radical Islam would sweep the globe and the only winner would be Israel. The global “war on terror”, brainchild of Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu, would go on to be Israel’s most profitable export and the U.S. would fight two disastrous wars in the Middle East for Israel with a third (Iran) on the agenda. It was a simple con — problem, reaction, solution — with Israeli regional hegemony the ultimate goal. That’s Zionism.

A stronger and greater Israel would become an immediate to mid-term certainty with the right people in the White House and a pliable U.S. Congress. A solid platform on which to foster global sympathy for, and solidarity with, Israel's Islamic problem would last well into the long term, propped up by ongoing false flag terror in Bali, Iraq, London, Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere to water the seed and consolidate the terror meme kicked off by the trauma and outrage of 9/11. All of this has served and facilitated one thing almost exclusively: the legitimization and fulfillment of political Zionism.

Judaism may have benefited indirectly from 9/11, insofar as a sympathetic light had been lit over Israel and the Jews in stark contrast to the darkness cast over Islam, and in the new media-cultivated climate of fear and sense of ever-impending terrorism, the specter of the Holocaust - invaluable propaganda fodder and political leverage for Israel - had become that much easier to invoke. But these two latter factors have been used more in the service of Zionism than Judaism, as we see play out over and over in the post-9/11 media pantomime.

Fighting Judaism: A Fool's Errand

It doesn’t make sense to wage war on Judaism. The statement "I am an anti-Judaic activist", if ever uttered with a straight face, will certainly come from the lips of a fool. The anti-Judaic Brendon O’Connell is a rabid Christian nutjob who proposes that we embark on a religious war that is doomed to fail. As a relative neophyte to the Palestine issue and not being much of a reader, he had his mind blown by a book about Judaism by Michael Hoffman sometime in 2009. In the context of his devout faith and identification with Christianity, he proceeded to build an entire worldview from the narrow standpoint of the education he'd received from the book, regarding the problems that threaten humanity, how they came about and a viable way to craft himself an us-and-them outlook that made sense. At least, that's how it seems to have unfolded to those of us who have watched his development from early 2007 to the present. 2010 saw O'Connell stumble into a series of colossal fuck-ups with serious real-life implications which, with the help of a few sensational but baseless claims and some outright lies, earned him the staunch support and admiration of a small following of White Nationalist types and other assorted fringe-dwellers impressed by his getting-arrested skills. Thus, an anti-Judaic Christian warrior was born.

The reasons why a war on Judaism is doomed to fail are obvious to me personally and, I would think, to anyone of a driver's-license-and-above intelligence level. The shame here is in knowing from the outset that I'm not writing for an intelligent readership but for the stupid people, and on purpose, and that now smart people will know that I argue with stupid people. Let this sentence be a disclaimer for the smart people, that it's not meant for you and to go no further, but in the interests of spelling it out for the O'Connells of the world, here are some of those reasons.

Firstly, there is simply no popular support for a war on Judaism - or even peaceful anti-Judaic activism - and that is as it should be. Judaic fundamentalism is the product of a nasty, supremacist doctrine and people are starting to see that it plays a major role in Israel’s bad behaviour, but at the end of the day what we face is economic and political power, on a global scale -- religion has almost nothing to do with that. Railing against Judaism simply doesn't address any of the actual problems we face. And importantly, the racist, supremacist elements of Judaism legitimised by the holy books of the religion are embraced only by a minority, albeit by some very powerful and influential Israeli political figures. Corrosive Judaic values do make their way into Israeli policy and manifest directly as action, but it would be accurate enough to say that this is an almost exclusively Israeli phenomenon. Religious American Jews painted with the same brush as their Israeli counterparts would suffer unjustifiably under the punishment that would be meted out to them by angry anti-Judaics, being that their values and identities are defined by totally different philosophical stuff. The average American Jew harbours no sense of superiority over the goyim and the few that are aware of the Talmud's evil side view it as irrelevant, archaic and even laughable. Simply put, Jewish supremacism is almost entirely absent in the diasporas of developed countries like Australia, Britain, Canada and the U.S.

Christians should be readily able to understand the significance of subtle differences in religious interpretation and how dramatically it affects one's thinking and behaviour. Most of them are modern religious realists who carry around more complex worldviews than those prescribed to them by biblical fairy tales like the story of Adam and Eve, a real life parting of the sea, and literal interpretations of parables that should obviously not supplant real history, i.e. people walking on water and turning it into wine. Christian realists can expect us to infer for ourselves the discernment and pragmatism that flavors their religious beliefs, and in the absence of aberrant behaviour there's no reason why Western diaspora Jews shouldn't be afforded the same courtesy. To summarise, outside Israel the contemporary Jew is in most cases perfectly normal and reasonable (leaving aside their natural proclivity toward abhorrent political ideologies like Zionism, which, to be fair, is just as prevalent in Christians as it is in Jews, and just as common among the non-religious). They're no threat to our way of life. Outside Palestine, Jews are not the problem.

To demonstrate the truth of this by way of a simple thought experiment, consider a scenario in which all the world’s Jews - both religious and secular - were rounded up, put into camps and taken out of the picture, as Brendon O’Connell and others have publicly advocated. Elite gentiles would rush in to fill the power vacuum in every sector of society without there even being a bad day on the stock market. You wouldn’t even hear a sucking sound. Global capitalism wouldn’t skip a beat; the Fed, the IMF and the rest of the global banking system would remain in place; Monsanto would still be patenting genes; Big Pharma would still be profiting from our heart disease and cancer, fueled by an incentive to keep us that way (literally making a killing); powerful weapons manufacturers with more money than most third world economies would still have a vested interest in war (and the banking cartel which owns them would be, as they've always been, more than happy to loan our governments, particularly the U.S. government which spends as much on weapons as the rest of the world combined, debt-created money at interest in order to get it straight back from the U.S. defense budget when the government blows it all on the high tech weaponry peddled by the cartel's military arm - genius, really). There would be no systemic changes whatsoever in the advent of a wholesale Jewish roundup, and this is true regardless of what one believes about the origins of the system itself. I, for one, have been satisfied by ample evidence that modern banking started as a largely Jewish enterprise, but I see no reason why saying so should be controversial. I see no reason why Jews shouldn't be proud of their historic role in it, just as they celebrate the history of Jewish ownership and control of Hollywood and other industries. But regardless of the extent to which Jews created and founded the modern institutions adopted by the West, the fact remains, plainly and self-evidently, that it's our system now and it would quite effortlessly survive the total and sudden disappearance of the world's Jews, down to the very last one.

Secondly, you can’t outlaw ideas, much less eradicate them (they're bulletproof, remember) but you can phase out or even outlaw certain behaviour, systems and practices on moral and ethical grounds, without seriously compromising individual freedom and liberty. (Actually, I believe forcible and prohibitive action undertaken by outside authority is only justifiable when it benefits freedom and liberty and the greater good, because law and prohibition is by definition an infringement on personal freedom, but that's going in another direction.) South African apartheid is an example of this: an unjust and un-sane system, vast, established and held together with the glue of entrenched power transformed for the greater good by a massive imposition of will from within and without.

History has shown that efforts to suppress religious freedom go hand in hand with tyranny and always fail. Those of us who know a bit about Judaic extremism -- and any other truth worth knowing -- can and should use every opportunity to show the others its true colours, especially in light of the Zionist media campaign to vilify Islam, but making war on it and it alone will go nowhere. It's about as viable (and desirable) and every bit as ludicrous and futile as trying to eradicate Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism or Islam -- all of which have their own nutty fringe groups which hold extremist views just (or nearly) as repugnant as those we've seen come from leading rabbis of the Jewish faith.

In any case, it's beyond debate that putting people in detention camps against their will is not how an enlightened society would deal with its problems, and given that the idea is to do better than is being done to us, it's aeons away from a viable solution. It's both laughable and despicable. We were all born into economic and political slavery; enslaving others physically should be the last thing on our minds.

Thirdly and most importantly, the people focusing exclusively on Judaism are sabotaging the burgeoning anti-Zionist movement by making us all out to be racist nutters. Sometimes, it's because they actually are racist nutters, representing for Palestine and fucking up our game. Most of the no-such-thing-as-an-innocent-Jew crowd use the word 'Judaism' as a euphemism for all Jews, religious and secular, which is evidenced by their suspicion and contempt for non-religious Jews. After all, even if a Jew isn't Judaic, surely they are infused with Jewish values. Paranoia is rife because, even if there were a way to distinguish the religious from the secular it couldn't be seen from behind a computer. Even in person, you can never be sure; perhaps the parents are Jewish, it's better to be safe than sorry. This is the problem faced by the 'anti-Judaic activist', the slippery slope of idiocy combined with paranoia and the inevitable outcome of fighting religion, which can only exist as ideas inside people. Astute observers of the anti-Judaic activist will always spot this dilemma and see racism, bigotry, hate and 'anti-Semitism'.

What's for certain is this: the only way to make this approach succeed -- that is, this war against Judaism -- is to mainstream it, which has fuck all chance of happening because it is innately nonsensical, invasive, futile, authoritarian, illogical and fascist. Normal people (that is to say, the average human being, mentally and socially conditioned with Western values) intuits a lack of logic and an ugliness in the idea (if I may be so presumptuous as to speak on behalf of that group for the duration of the rest of this sentence). 9/11 truth is an example of a fringe group that has consolidated itself into a global movement with real credibility, and despite the spirit of truth, justice, compassion, honour, transparency, righteousness, non-partisanship, tolerance, blindness to colour and general energy of goodness that it engenders it has moved at a snail's pace and is far from the breakout threshold of real political clout. With that in mind, consider the likelihood of a movement borne of twisted logic, dense minds, paranoia and a negative energy establishing itself to the same degree.

More likely, the nascent and ill-conceived push for a war against Judaism and/or Jews will remain what it is: nothing more than dead weight dragging at the heels of the compassion-based, common sense-oriented pro-Palestine, anti-Israel, anti-Zionist movement. And as long as this movement which does make sense and which is compatible with the antiwar, anti-corporate, environmental and 9/11 movements can be written off as "hate", racism and "anti-Semitism" through its association with that aberrent part of itself, it will always be easily marginalised by Zionism and its footsoldiers for being the cancer and nothing but, and nothing more than the aberration that characterizes the minority fringe. The armies behind the pro-Israel agenda being pushed by the media and our governments are already containing our movement this way pretty effectively with imagined "hate" and in the absence of any real "anti-Semitism", although people are clearly growing tired of the old anti-Semitism canard and wising up to its arbitrary use by apologists for Israeli crimes. The rise of the fuckwit brigade, this cancerous aberration, will only hand to the propagandists what they've been having to make up all this time.

So besides the fact that targeting Judaism and Jews in general (and rounding them up for internment in "rehabilitation" camps) is a violent, fascist fantasy that couldn't possibly be taken seriously by anyone other than a crazed lynch mob, it makes no sense, simply won’t work, and not only that, it’s doing far more harm than good. The let’s-genocide-the-Jews crowd are working for the other side, whether they know it or not.

Zionism

Focusing on Zionism does make sense. Anti-Zionism is a natural corollary to the anti-war movement. That most of the peace movement, spearheaded by liberal Zionist gatekeepers, has been slow to catch on to that obvious fact doesn't make it any less true. It simply doesn’t make sense to be anti-war and pro-Zionist, especially given the key roles of American Zionists and the broader Israel lobby in pushing, planning, and overseeing both post-9/11 wars in the Middle East. And there is no such thing as non-racist Zionism. Zionism is by definition a racist enterprise which can only express itself through land theft, ethnic cleansing, apartheid and the displacement of indigenous Palestinians to make way for Jewish-only settlements. Neither is there any such thing as legal Zionism, since almost all that it entails contravenes international law.

For all these reasons, anti-Zionism is an idea whose time has come. The only things between it and the mainstream are fragile lies and an ongoing media propaganda campaign pushing hard in the other direction. Hippies, leftists, activists and bleeding hearts who march and write and agitate for peace, equality and minority rights but support the Israeli state are left with the impossible task of reconciling the staggering hypocrisy of their views, so conscientious anti-war, anti-corporate, and/or human rights advocates are obligated to renounce Zionism in order to conform to the values that define them as people -- either that or be forced to bask naked in their own hypocrisy. Campaigners for peace who support occupation, land theft, displacement and apartheid - and the inevitable cost of that - are about as useful as tits on a bull and have nothing to stand behind but sleight of hand and subterfuge.

Anti-Zionism is a legitimate, honourable and viable movement. It's growing rapidly and progressing nicely, thanks to Israel’s own manifestly evil policies in Palestine and abroad: the 2006 Lebanon war, the 2008-9 Gaza massacre, the Dubai hit and Mossad passport fraud, the Gaza Freedom Flotilla incident, and the emerging truth about the USS Liberty, Israeli spying and 9/11. Along the way, people are learning about the history of Palestine and the illegitimate state of Israel, the early Jewish terrorism upon which it was founded and Israeli false-flags like the Lavon Affair. They’re waking up to the Jewish supremacism behind Israeli policy and starting to take a closer look at Judaism, which informs Zionism today but for the most part precluded any idea of the legitimacy of a Jewish state until it became convenient in the 1940s.

The dominant ideology that has shaped the U.S. war agenda for at least the last 20 years is Zionism, and with the focus shifting to Iran, that is becoming harder and harder for the anti-war movement to ignore. Fortunately, Zionism is destined to fail; Israel is well on its way to disappearing from the map altogether, and once that happens the game changes forever. The global capitalist system (the aforementioned banking system, Monsanto, Raytheon etc) will still be in place, but that’s why our work should have a broader focus. I myself have a particular disdain for Israel, Zionism and Jewish power so I choose to focus most of my attention on that, but I also meet with the local chapter of the Zeitgeist Movement because as far as I’m aware, the Resource Based Economy (RBE) model is the only viable alternative to the profit-oriented, debt-based monetary system (i.e. global capitalism). The Rothschildian corporate banking / fractional reserve / money-as-debt scam is the biggest con in history, but it’s the monetary system itself that has inverted our values and put profit above sanity (example I; example II). Monetary reform and public control of the banking system isn’t going to cut it in the end, although it would certainly be a good start. It would clear the way for the implementation of an RBE or something similar, by dismantling the most entrenched criminal power structure on the planet.

The stakes are too high for us to allow sanity and reason to be pushed to the fringes, and to make the mistake of throwing good negativity at bad negativity. This is a serious game for those of us who believe that a better life on Earth is worth fighting for, and perhaps the only thing worth a fight. Even if you suspect as I do that ultimately this thing is just a ride, an illusion, that nothing real can ever be damaged or killed and that consciousness will emerge unscathed no matter what, we're still on the ride and so are our children. Suffering is still hell. Experience will always arise out of thought and become real by our actions and choices, and the power of that creative process has become such that it will also determine the quality of the ride for all of our poor, hapless cohabitants. Their fate is in our clumsy hands. We've dreamed up devices and methods capable of destroying all life on Earth, and we can't even be trusted not to do it. We're so stupid that it could happen by accident, and nearly has. It's happening by accident right now. As individuals we're slaves to entrenched power and yet it feels as if no-one is in control. If we don't think and act out of love and let it characterise everything we do, the future will be a living nightmare. As trite and corny as it might sound, love is the key -- that much is certain.

Israel: World Tired of Us

2010-07-02T15:02:00.032+08:00

The Daily Zionist | Tel Aviv | July 2, 2010

Israeli Minister of Trade, Industry and Labor, Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, says the world is tired of Israel and that Israel, rather than the Gaza Strip, is actually the terrorist state.

"We're the ones maintaining a blockade. And we too are blockaded, utterly isolated. This business just isn't working anymore. We're in a situation where the world is tired of us," the Jewish Daily quoted Ben-Eliezer as saying in an interview in the Yediot Ahronot Friday supplement.

"They're tired of hearing our excuses, of feigning sympathy for us under pressure from our lobbies, when all we do is kill and oppress. (The world is) Tired of trying to understand us. No one believes our bullshit anymore. After 43 years, nobody wants to hear any more excuses about why this occupation is continuing and how we have nobody to talk to," Eliezer continued.

Born in 1936 in Basra in southern Iraq, Binyamin “Fuad” Ben-Eliezer is the senior leader of the Labor Party’s hawkish wing, a tough-as-nails ex-general and a seasoned war criminal.

Mossad Chief Meir Dagan expressed similar concerns. "It's true that the international community is fed up with our incessant lies, which spew forth like the political equivalent of the BP oil rig blowout", he said. "Of course we're the terrorists. We invented modern terrorism, we were founded on terrorism and we continue to thrive on it. We grew up on terror and racism and we're addicted to it. And as I mentioned not long ago, we're a burden on the United States and have no strategic relevance to them at all." Dagan is celebrated in Israel for his no-nonsense approach to being a war criminal and his history of cutting off Palestinians' heads with Japanese knives.

The comments have encouraged other Israeli officials to come clean about the Jewish state's true nature. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's bizarre response to the surprising outpouring of honesty from across the Israeli political spectrum came from his office in the form of a press release, which simply read: "Holocaust! 6 million, holocaust, holocaust, victims, holocaust holocaust."

In an unusual demonstration of unanimity, an Israeli cross-party motion is urging the parliament to pass legislation that will mandate an official Israeli confession to the people of Occupied Palestine and the international community that the Zionist regime has been full of shit all along on a wide range of issues, including the 2008-09 Gaza offensive, the recent flotilla massacre, the USS Liberty incident of 1967 and even the origins of the state itself and its ostensible legitimacy.

"The motion will be adopted. There's no doubt," Tal Nachum, spokesman for the far-right Yisrael Beiteinu party, told Reuters late Thursday. "At this point, I think if we could sever economic, diplomatic and military ties with ourselves, we would. We're so fucking full of shit that even we can't bear us anymore."

The Obama White House has thus far remained conspicuously silent on the recent developments in Jerusalem, amid escalating tension in Washington. Josh Block, spokesman for the powerful American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), told the Daily Zionist that Israel has become one of at least eight "existential threats" to itself and must be stopped. AIPAC has scheduled urgent meetings with members of Congress in order to tell them what to do, think and say in response to the issue. According to sources close to AIPAC, Jewish lobbyists are busy drafting legislation for lawmakers calling on the U.S. government to deliver a $6 billion emergency security assistance package to Israel, including four state-of-the-art F22 fighter jets.

Abraham Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), reflexively issued a statement condemning American and Israeli leaders for their "recidivistic anti-Semitism" and blasting the Jewish state as a nation of "self-hating Jews".

Open Letter to Adam Holland

2010-06-05T22:41:00.013+08:00

When I first commented on Adam Holland's blog post about Alan Hart's interview with Kevin Barrett, I didn't expect him to publish it (he moderates comments for approval). He did and a brief discussion ensued, but it didn't take long before Adam the Zionist decided to start rejecting my perfectly reasonable submissions. So about five minutes after I sent him my last comment, I sent another to inform him that if he declined again to publish them, I'd publish them myself as 'An Open Letter to Adam Holland' on my own blog and at WakeUpFromYourSlumber.com, where he'd be free to respond without fear of censorship. This then is that post, titled as promised, even though I won't always be addressing Holland directly. I might've titled it 'Ok Holland, Let's Take This Outside' (outside your blog where we can have a civilised, open discussion) but I'd be going back on my word.

I'd planned to get around to this sooner but I've been busy with other things, like following and protesting Israel's murderous, illegal, premeditated attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, which Holland has all but ignored on his website. This post would seem to imply that he believes Israel is being unfairly criticised by the anti-Semitic international community, but the entire blog entry consists of one copy-pasted paragraph from an article by New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman. Holland offers no original commentary that might further enlighten us as to his own position. [Actually, since I started writing this a few days ago, I've noticed that Holland has now made his views quite clear - he's sticking up for Israel, surprise surprise.] Thomas Friedman says in his opinion piece that "[t]here is no question that this flotilla was a setup" and that the humanitarians and activists on board "wanted" a "very violent confrontation". Yeah right Thom, I'm sure the one year old baby on board was ready to rumble, alongside Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mairead Corrigan, hundreds of dedicated peace activists and 35 or so politicians. All indications are that Adam Holland agrees with Friedman on the true intentions of these anti-Semitic terrorists.

Anyway, as you can see from the comment thread it didn't take long before Holland pulled the 'anti-Semitism' card on me, which is his forte. This is the comment he declined to publish on May 29 2010, unedited and republished here as it was submitted on the day. Read the comment thread starting here if you want some context.

Adam, your shameless sophistry is what will be clear to readers of this thread, not my 'anti-Semitism'. I should've expected it, since you've already been identified as "anti-Semitism-obsessed".

Twice now I've asked you to address the information I've made available to you, and both times you've failed to do so. You just harp on about the websites I link to, which, as I've already explained and as is clear to anyone who cares to look, are simply reproducing articles and information from mainstream sources like Haaretz, Salon, Fox News, and what have you. You haven't provided any solid criticism of the information, you've simply dismissed it all wholesale on the strength of that one flimsy subterfuge.

I politely asked you to provide a reference to back up your assertion that the Active Thermitic Materials paper has been disproved, and you've failed to do so. When you asked me about the USS Liberty I responded directly, but you refuse to answer my questions. You're determined to avoid having a normal discussion. Instead, you've attempted to smear me as a conspiracy theorist and an "anti-Semite", which is what you do best, and present me with a list of loaded questions about whether or not I agree with Hart on this and Sabrosky on that so that you can build a basis for your claim that I'm "anti-Semitic", in a desperate attempt to avoid having to address my arguments.

No, I don't agree with Hart on "remote control cell phones" - somehow I don't see these five young buffoons being given that kind of responsibility - but it's a matter of fact that they were caught celebrating the attacks, that they were there to "document the event" as they put it, and that they had set up their cameras prior to the attacks as reported by The New York Times and Fox News (see last paragraph). The FBI concluded that at least two of them were Mossad agents, and that the moving company they worked for was a Mossad front operation. See here for information, all of which comes from mainstream news sources. There are also the 140 or so Israeli "art students" arrested for spying in and on the U.S. before and immediately after 9/11/01 (also see the Fox News report I linked to earlier). Am I "anti-Semitic" for being concerned about all this, Adam?

Regarding Hart's speculation about Israel's plans to nuke an American city, it's simply that - speculation. But I understand Hart's concern given Israel's history of attacking the United States (that's the link I offered in my previous comment, Adam, which you chose not to publish). Regarding Sabrosky and a "vast conspiracy within the U.S. military .. concealing their knowledge that Israel carried out 9/11", I believe you're misrepresenting his position. As for your claim that Sabrosky believes that a "vast majority" of American Jews are "traitors", I haven't heard him say that, and it's not my position.

Now, I've answered your questions; let's see if you can address mine. They're still here, all you need to do is scroll up. Where is the scientific rebuttal to the Active Thermitic Materials paper? Why is there so much evidence of Israeli complicity and foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks and no credible evidence that Muslim fanatics were involved? Why is Osama bin Laden not wanted by the FBI for the attacks? And how do you respond to the information I've made available to you regarding Israel's relationship to the 9/11 attacks, outside of outrageously, arbitrarily and falsely accusing me of 'anti-Semitism'? If you can't respond politely, directly and reasonably, without trying to muddy up my position by asking me silly questions about Hart and Sabrosky, you'll only be confirming Richard Silverstein's assertion that your modus operandi is indeed "the McCarthyite guilt by association rhetorical style of demagogue-goons like Holland".

I'm not sure why Holland didn't post my comment, and a smaller one before it. It is, of course, his right to choose what gets published on his website. But Holland's interest areas are conspiracy theories and anti-Semitism (along with the "far right"), so you'd think he'd be interested in looking into and debunking my preposterously anti-Semitic ideas about Israel and 9/11, especially since that was basically what his Alan Hart blog was about. He claims that he enjoys 'researching' conspiracy theories, even if he does hate Jeff Rense's hair do.

I noticed since I started writing this little post (I keep getting distracted) that Holland hasn't always been so rude when it comes to nixing comments on his blog. In this amusing post he claims that Ognir of TiU is a "far right" racist, which was rightly ridiculed by his supporters in the comment thread below. I know enough about Ognir to know that he's far past identifying with the "far right" or the far left or any other point along the linear scale of that silly, illusory paradigm. But at least on that blog Holland allowed dissenting comments to be published, so I'm even more offended after having seen it. I feel like I'm being singled out and victimised by that bigoted far-left bastard Adam Holland, so I feel well within my far rights to condemn him as a rabid anti-anti-Semite.

So Adam, now that we've taken this outside let's have it out like free men. I'm not asking you to come on any radio show - I know you're not into that - just that you answer my questions in writing, either here or at WUFYS. All voices will be heard, none will be censored, and there will be truth, freedom and justice for all. Either that or just publish my comments on your blog, you dirty filthy anti-Commentite.

Michael Scheuer: Civilian Casualties Don't Matter

2010-02-21T17:15:00.014+08:00

Most people know Michael Scheuer from his appearance on the Bill Maher show, where he bravely advocated a refreshing America-first, Israel-last policy as he was interviewed by the rattled Zionist Bill Maher. He raised the spectre of the Osama Bin Laden boogeyman by describing him as 'more dangerous than a terrorist', but his stance against Israel and his non-interventionist attitude was admirable. Non-interventionism is pretty much what Michael Scheuer is about (he named his website Non-Intervention.com).

He's written some good stuff, despite his adamance that America's true enemies are the "Islamists". Here are a couple of examples.

On the American Israel lobby: Does Israel Conduct Covert Action in America? You Bet it Does

On the neocons and other Zionists skewing U.S. foreign policy in Israel's favour: Turning The Tables on the Israel Firsters

When recently he spoke out against Israel and the Lobby on C-Span, he was widely condemned by Zionists like Jeffrey Goldberg at the TheAtlantic.com who described him as a "Jew-hating crank", IsraelNationalNews.com (IsraelNN) and Adam Holland, which wasn't half predictable.

I posted the IsraelNN article here at WUFYS, implicitly endorsing Scheuer and his views, some of which I was already aware were highly questionable. Nothing quite as questionable as this, though - check this out:

We can't win anyway
By Michael F. Scheuer
Adjunct Professor of Security Studies, Georgetown University
The military option should be taken off the table in all instances -- save an immediate response to foreign attack -- until we elect a president and congress that will abide by the constitutional requirements and machinery for declaring war that were put in place by the Founders.

In addition, and more practically, the option should be taken off the table vis-à-vis Iran because we have a military that cannot win a war. The common wisdom is that the politicians are to blame for preventing the generals from doing their job; that is, killing the enemy and, as needed, its civilian supporters until each is convinced it is irrefutably defeated. I begin to think, however, that the common wisdom is only partially correct. Our bipartisan political leadership surely is pathetic when it comes to war-making, but the U.S. general officer corps -- save for a few Marine generals -- is today chockfull of bureaucrats, nation-builders, and wanna-be social scientists.

Take that might warrior General McChrystal, for example. In the midst of a supposedly “major offensive” in Helmand Province, the general has spent most of his time apologizing for the deaths of civilian supporters of the Taleban and al-Qaeda, and withdrawing from the battlefield a weapon system that presumably was there because it contributed to victory and helped protect our soldiers and Marines. Sparing civilian casualties might make sense if those civilians were pro-U.S. or even pro-Karzai, but they are not.

The Taleban’s steadily upward trend line across Afghanistan -- not just in the southern provinces -- since 2006 can only be explained by growing popular support from Afghans who are pro-Taleban (some) and/or opposed to the U.S.-NATO occupation (most). To think you are going to win the hearts and minds of these Afghans by limiting civilian casualties is a figment of the social-science minds of counter-insurgency theorists. It is not for nothing that the acerbic but thoroughly brilliant Israeli military historian Martin van Creveld wrote that counter-insurgency doctrine is always written by losers.

Martin van Creveld is the Israeli academic who threatened that 'we could destroy all European capitals' and that "we have the capability to take the rest of the world down with us [with nukes]. And I can assure you that that will happen, if Israel goes under."

For the life of me, and as the father of a newly draft-age son, I cannot imagine why American parents still trust their soldier-children to politicians -- in both parties -- and generals who are unwilling to do anything so old-fashion, anachronistic, and politically incorrect as relentlessly killing the enemy and his supporters until they are defeated. One hopes that American parents will soon wise up and begin to discourage their kids from joining a military whose generals increasingly see U.S. casualties as the necessary cost, not of winning, but of nation-building, fawning over their addled political masters, and pleasing international opinion and the pacifist purveyors of international law.
[Yeah, who cares about international law? Pfft.]

The wars we are fighting today are the products of the lethal-for-America fantasy that war has changed and no longer requires much killing or an outright victory. This, of course, is nonsense and only our elites and those of Europe believe it; our Islamist enemies know better. America once knew that you never go to war without aiming for victory, and led by men like William Sherman, U.S. Grant, Nathan Bedford Forrest, George Patton, and, until recently, most Marine generals, our military leaders knew that, in Forrest’s words, war means fighting, and fighting means killing. Armed with this fact, and with Sherman’s dictum that the only mercy in war is fast and complete victory, the U.S. military once put fear and sober second thoughts into those who meant America harm. Today, the same military causes some circumspection among our enemies, but it mostly causes mirth in their minds over the specter of a hapless pack of coddled general officers who seek to win un-winnable hearts and minds at the cost of many hundreds of billions dollars and numerous wasted young lives.

Tom Feeley of InformationClearingHouse.info (ICH) posted this on his site, but not to point out Scheuer's callous disregard for human life. It was posted under the title What Should Obama Do Next On Iran? Act For The Republic and Independence, apparently to endorse a list of actions that Obama should take on the Iran issue, which was apparently written by Scheuer. But if you click on the source link at the ICH post, the list is not there. The link will take you straight to Scheuer's rant about all the fuss over killing innocents, which to him is just an impediment to "victory".

Scheuer is a regular contributor to Antiwar.com. He might claim to be a non-interventionist but he doesn't sound very anti-war, does he?

Is Scheuer a Shill?

Scheuer could still be on the CIA's payroll, but shillery is usually the least likely explanation for suspect behaviour. It stands to reason that most people accused of being disinformationalists are just plain wrong.

The problem with the online movement is that shillery is often the first conclusion people jump to, especially in the anti-Zionist scene. For example, if a journalist, writer or radio host doesn't blame Israel and Zionism for 9/11, we'll conclude that they're government agents or disinformation artists - a part of the conspiracy - when it's much more likely that they simply believe what they're saying (that cave-dwelling Muslims orchestrated 9/11 or that the Bush family did, or whatever else the case may be). Some will go even further and claim, arbitrarily, that they must be 'Jews'. It's pathological with some people. Rationalisation goes out the window and all they seem to have left is conspiracy theory. Kind of ironic, really.

Scheuer is not your typical case study, though. The 9/11 operation had to fool the bulk of the global intelligence community as well as the civilian population to be viable and effective, but Scheuer is an expert on al Qaeda and Bin Laden, and was head of the CIA's Bin Laden unit from 1996-99, and then Special Advisor to that unit until 2004. He's written entire books about the al Qaeda 'threat' in which he criticises American policy, the first of which he started writing in 1999, well before September 11, 2001. As a senior CIA analyst, how can he not be aware that Bin Laden and al Qaeda was a creation of, and an asset to, that agency? And if he is aware, why hasn't he written about it? He published his books anonymously and was, perhaps conveniently, 'outed' as the author just in time to come out as a non-interventionist pundit for the anti-war scene. But despite Scheuer's contribution to sites like AntiWar.com and his criticism of the Israel lobby and neocon policy, he is still an ardent promoter of the "war on terror" and ergo the Zionist war against Islam. His position is essentially the same as Ron Paul's: that America's real enemy is radical Islam but American interventionism is to blame for that radicalism.

Another interesting factoid is that Scheuer's work has been promoted by Bin Laden himself - from the grave. In a tape released in 2007, well after his death, "Bin Laden" sporting a nice, black, freshly "dyed" beard says:

"If you want to understand what's going on and if you would like to get to know some of the reasons for your losing the war against us, then read the book of Michael Scheuer."

"If I knew that it was possible to save all the children of Germany by transporting them to England, and only half by transferring them to the Land of Israel, I would choose the latter, for before us lies not only the numbers of these children but the historical reckoning of the people of Israel."

David Ben-Gurion (Quoted on pp 855-56 in Shabtai Teveth's Ben-Gurion in a slightly different translation).

Andie has posted a blog which links to a compilation of newspaper items showing that the mythical figure of six million and talk about a Jewish "holocaust" predates World War II by a long shot, and has been oddly recurrent throughout modern history. The six million figure shows up repeatedly in old newspaper articles, almost as if international Jewry were willing their own "holocaust" into existence.

This source, among others, offers an explanation as to why:

In the Hebrew-text of Torah-prophesies it states: "You shall return." In that text the letter "V" or "VAU" is missing (which also stands for "6"). The researcher Ben Weintraub was informed by Rabbis that the missing "V" (= the missing 6) was the foreshadowing of the "6 million". Therefore, the prophesy: "You shall return", is interpreted as: "You shall return minus 6 million." [2]This self-imposed prophesy led to the "6 million-prophecy-crash" in 1919. Based on the Balfour-Declaration of 1917 the state of Israel was guaranteed, and the Diaspora-Jews would return to the "Promised Land". The leading Jews at that time expected 1920 a migration of their brethren into "their Land". But, before the return could take place, "6 million" of them had to disappear, according to prophesies.

Here are a few interesting quotes.

"These numbers do matter," Hilberg [one of the most prominent Jewish holocaust historians] said. "They also matter for a very simple reason -- call it religious, if you like."[Guttenplan in The Atlantic Monthly, Boston, USA, February, 2000]

"What are you writing?" the Rebbe asked. "Stories," I said. He wanted to know what kind of stories: true stories. "About people you knew?" Yes, about things that happened or could have happened. "But they did not?" No, not all of them did. In fact, some were invented from almost the beginning to almost the end. The Rebbe leaned forward as if to measure me up and said with more sorrow than anger: "That means you are writing lies!" I did not answer immediately. The scolded child within me had nothing to say in his defence. Yet, I had to justify myself: "Things are not that simple, Rebbe. Some events do take place but are not true; others are - although they never occurred." [Elie Wiesel, Legends of Our Time, Schocken Books, New York 1982, S. VIII]

No-one less important than the late Director of the German government sponsored Institute for Contemporary History, Dr. Martin Broszat, stated under oath in front of a German court, that the "6 million holocaust-Jews" were a "symbolical figure", not a factual one [Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Aug. 23, 1994, page 7].

Herald-Journal - April 2, 1919: Six Million Jews Starving To Death

The destitution of Jewish war sufferers during the coming months will probably surpass anything ever known in the history of human suffering; their suffering is worse than death - it is the lingering torture of starvation, the piteous tragedy of emaciation, the horrible waiting, in agony of hunger, for the grim reaper to end their misery.

The Toronto World - Feb 6 1920: Six Million Jews are Facing Death

Feilding Star, Volume XXVII, Issue 95, 15 November 1905, Page 2: Great Britain's Indignation At Jewish Massacres

The above article published in 1905 mentions Arthur Balfour and Lord Rothschild of the British Zionist Federation, and the latter's desire for the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine 12 years before the Balfour Declaration of 1917.

The meeting recorded its earnest conviction that the Jews were not immune from a recurrence of the massacres until they obtained a publicly recognised home in Palestine.

New York Times - July 20, 1921: Massacre Threatens All Jews as Soviet Power Wanes

Russia's 6,000,000 Jews are facing extermination by massacre. As the famine is spreading, the counter-revolutionary movement is gaining and the Soviet's control is waning.

And this corker, which proves that Jews were asking for billions (in 1918 dollars!) in interest-free loans well before today's post-1967 U.S. policy of billions in aid to Israel.

New York Times - Oct 18, 1918: $1,000,000,000 Fund To Rebuild Jewry - LOANS WITHOUT INTEREST

The American people, Jews and nonJews alike, will soon be asked to lend or contribute the larger part of a fund of approximately $1,000,000,000 to carry out plans for the reconstruction of the Jewry of the entire world.

Fear the "Muslim Mafia"

2009-10-18T14:25:00.011+08:00

This is what happens when the American Muslim community a.k.a. CAIR a.k.a the "Muslim Mafia" dares to chime in on matters of U.S. policy by proposing (privately and internally) that it could, hopefully, maybe, lobby Congress like AIPAC does so as to take its rightful place alongside the all-powerful Israel Lobby, which of course owns and occupies the U.S. Congress.

GOP Lawmakers Accuse Muslim Advocacy Group CAIR of Planting Spies on Capitol Hill

Four House Republicans on Wednesday accused the nation's largest Muslim advocacy group of trying to "infiltrate" Capitol Hill by placing interns in the offices of lawmakers who handle national security issues.

The four lawmakers, members of the anti-terror caucus, asked for an investigation into the Council on American Islamic Relations after discovering an internal memo noting the group's strategy. They also highlighted a new book by Paul Sperry titled "Muslim Mafia," scheduled for release on Thursday, which claims the group has been actively infiltrating Congress.

Reps. Sue Myrick of North Carolina, Trent Franks of Arizona, Paul Broun of Georgia and John Shadegg of Arizona asked the Internal Revenue Service to determine whether CAIR deserves its nonprofit status. They also are asking their colleagues to review a summary of findings that led the Justice Department to name CAIR as a co-conspirator in a terrorism case.

The internal memo, provided to FOXNews.com, stated that CAIR would "focus on influencing congressmen responsible for policy that directly impacts the American Muslim community."

The memo cited three House committees -- Homeland Security, Intelligence and the Judiciary -- as panels on which lawmakers preside over policy affecting American Muslims.

"We will develop national initiatives such as a lobby day and placing Muslim interns in Congressional offices," the memo read.

Earlier this year the FBI severed its once-close ties with CAIR as evidence mounted of the group's links to a support network for Hamas, which the U.S. has designated a terrorist organization.

"It's frightening to think that an organization with clear-cut ties to terrorism could have a hand in influencing policy -- especially national security policy -- within our government," Myrick said. "The investigations that we're asking for are simple, and I'm hopeful that they will bring to light any and all information regarding the goals of CAIR."

Franks called on CAIR to renounce its ties to terrorist groups and state publicly that it does not support Hamas or the Muslim Brotherhood.

"I take the charges levied against CAIR and laid out in this book very seriously because they affect our national security," Franks said in a statement. "This Congress must be deliberate in taking a strong stance against those groups and organizations that align themselves with terrorists."

"We live in a post-9/11 world where the coincidence of nuclear proliferation and Islamic terrorism pose a very dangerous combination and real threat to America's national security," he said. "That is why it is critical, in light of the well supported documents and information, that the U.S. Congress take this issue seriously."

CAIR decried the call as a "racist" and "insidious" attack on Muslims and mocked the allegations.

"If it wasn't so insidious, it would be laughable," CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper told FOXNews.com. "What are their charges? CAIR seeks political participation of Muslims. I'm shocked."

Hooper said the evidence proves only that the group is trying, like every other minority group, to engage Muslims in the political process.

"Why is it evil when Muslims seek political participation?" he asked.

In the book "Muslim Mafia," a six-month sting appears to link CAIR to an organized crime network made up of more than 100 other Muslim front groups that make up the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood. The book claims the group is bent on destroying Western civilization.

Hooper said Sperry's efforts only proved the group's good intentions.

"The guy spied on us for months, stole documents -- and the most they came up with is CAIR seeks to work with policymakers on Capitol Hill?" Hooper said.

"I see it as a stamp of approval."

The uppity Muslims have forgotten that no pissing is allowed on Israeli-occupied territory. So just as a reminder, these paranoid, Islamophobic Republican lawmakers are claiming that CAIR is trying to "infiltrate" the U.S. government as 'spies' for the "Muslim Mafia". The last time I checked it wasn't Muslims that have a habit of spying and passing on classified information to foreign interests, it was the Jewish Mafia - the Rosenbergs and Bill Weisband in the '50s, Richard Smyth, Jonathan Pollard and Ben-Ami Kadish in the '80s, and more recently Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman of AIPAC and the Jane Harman / Haim Saban affair.

It doesn't stop there though, of course: There's Larry Franklin, Stephen Bryen, Douglas Feith, William Luti, Harold Rhode, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, the ADL, and of course the 200 or so Israelis that were arrested and subsequently released for spying on the United States before and after the 9/11 attacks, not to mention the other five Israelis of the Mossad's World Trade Center dancing team. Not one individual listed in this paragraph was ever punished for compromising U.S. national security for Israel, but that is par for the course.

Since the Pollard case, U.S. intelligence and law-enforcement sources have revealed to the Prospect that at least six sealed indictments have been issued against individuals for espionage on Israel's behalf. It's a testament to the unique relationship between the United States and Israel that those cases were never prosecuted; according to the same sources, both governments ultimately addressed them through diplomatic and intelligence channels rather than air the dirty laundry. A number of career Justice Department and intelligence officials who have worked on Israeli counterespionage told the Prospect of long-standing frustration among investigators and prosecutors who feel that cases that could have been made successfully against Israeli spies were never brought to trial, or that the investigations were shut down prematurely. [source]

If any Muslim Arabs have been busted for spying on the U.S. for an Islamic government or on behalf of the intelligence services of an Arab state I've yet to learn about them. Have a look for yourself. The ATC - the Turkish Lobby - is powerful in Washington, but Turkey has long been tamed by the Zionists and the ATC is allied with AIPAC, so any intelligence gathered by the Turks is probably kosher and shared with Israel. Have there been charges laid or even allegations of Saudi spying in the U.S.? Doesn't look like it. Iranian, Syrian? Nope. And groups like Hezbollah and HAMAS don't have embassies or consulates in the U.S. because they are "terrorists", so they don't even have a foot in the door.

"It's frightening to think that an organization with clear-cut ties to terrorism [harmless, non-profit CAIR] could have a hand in influencing policy", says Rep. Sue Myrick, but the Jewish Mafia not only "influences" U.S. policy, it dictates it and even writes its own legislation for Congress. The ignorance and/or chutzpah of these Zionist stooges is mind-blowing. Is it ignorance or chutzpah? I don't even know. What is for sure is that as members of Congress they work closely with AIPAC, are familiar with its tactics, are hassled by regular letters and petitions and support requests from AIPAC, attend lavish AIPAC conventions and gala dinners, and in most cases accept their free hasbara holidays to Israel.

Fear the Muslim Mafia, lest you wake up one morning to find yourself living under Sharia law imposed on you by a Muslim Occupied Government (MOG). They already control the media. Oy Vey!!!!!

Jewish Think Tank Advocates Deliberate Targeting of Journalists

2009-05-22T13:36:00.016+08:00

"Although it seems unthinkable now, future wars may require censorship, news blackouts and, ultimately, military attacks on the partisan media... The point of all this is simple: Win. In warfare, nothing else matters. If you cannot win clean, win dirty. But win."

Retired Colonel Ralph Peters, writing for JINSA in the Journal of International Security Affairs

Over the years, Jewish academics and theologians have advocated the deliberate targeting of women and children in war zones, the extermination of all Palestinian males, the annihilation of the entire Arab population in general, the destruction of all European capitals with nuclear weapons, the "collective deportation" of the Palestinian people to ensure the exclusively Jewish nature of the apartheid state (the Jerusalem Summit is another academic institution that promotes this solution and Tzipi Livni has similar ideas), and even outright proclaimed that "there's no place for morals" when it comes to Israel's security. Now the Jewish Institute For National Security Affairs (JINSA) has published a report openly calling for the deliberate targeting of journalists on the battlefield.

The idea is nothing new though: Israel already does this, and routinely targets ambulances, hospitals, clinics, medics and even children and civilians waving white flags.

U.S. Colonel Advocates U.S. 'Military Attacks' on 'Partisan Media' in Essay for Neocon, Pro-Israel Group JINSA

By Jeremy Scahill

In the era of embedded media, independent journalists have become the eyes and ears of the world. Without those un-embedded journalists willing to risk their lives to place themselves on the other side of the barrel of the tank or the gun or under the airstrikes, history would be written almost entirely from the vantage point of powerful militaries, or—at the very least—it would be told from the perspective of the troops doing the shooting, rather than the civilians who always pay the highest price.

In the case of the Iraq invasion and occupation, the journalists who have placed themselves in danger most often are local Iraqi journalists. Some 116 Iraqi journalists and media workers have been killed in the line of duty since March 2003. In all, 189 journalists have been killed in Iraq. At least 16 of these journalists were killed by the US military, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. The network that has most often found itself under US attack is Al Jazeera. As I wrote a few years ago in The Nation:

The United States bombed its offices in Afghanistan in 2001, shelled the Basra hotel where Al Jazeera journalists were the only guests in April 2003, killed Iraq correspondent Tareq Ayoub a few days later in Baghdad and imprisoned several Al Jazeera reporters (including at Guantánamo), some of whom say they were tortured. In addition to the military attacks, the US-backed Iraqi government banned the network from reporting in Iraq.

A new report for a leading neoconservative group which pushes a belligerent “Israel first” agenda of conquest in the Middle East suggests that in future wars the US should make censorship of media official policy and advocates “military attacks on the partisan media.” (H/T MuzzleWatch) The report for JINSA, the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, was authored by retired US Army Colonel Ralph Peters. It appears in JINSA’s “flagship publication,” The Journal of International Security Affairs. “Today, the United States and its allies will never face a lone enemy on the battlefield. There will always be a hostile third party in the fight,” Peters writes, calling the media, “The killers without guns:”

Of course, the media have shaped the outcome of conflicts for centuries, from the European wars of religion through Vietnam. More recently, though, the media have determined the outcomes of conflicts. While journalists and editors ultimately failed to defeat the U.S. government in Iraq, video cameras and biased reporting guaranteed that Hezbollah would survive the 2006 war with Israel and, as of this writing, they appear to have saved Hamas from destruction in Gaza.
[…]
Although it seems unthinkable now, future wars may require censorship, news blackouts and, ultimately, military attacks on the partisan media. Perceiving themselves as superior beings, journalists have positioned themselves as protected-species combatants. But freedom of the press stops when its abuse kills our soldiers and strengthens our enemies. Such a view arouses disdain today, but a media establishment that has forgotten any sense of sober patriotism may find that it has become tomorrow’s conventional wisdom.
The point of all this is simple: Win. In warfare, nothing else matters. If you cannot win clean, win dirty. But win. Our victories are ultimately in humanity’s interests, while our failures nourish monsters.

It is, of course, very appropriate that such a despicable battle cry for murdering media workers appears in a JINSA publication. The organization has long boasted an all-star cast of criminal “advisors.” Among them: Dick Cheney, Richard Perle, James Woolsey, John Bolton, Douglas Feith and others. JINSA, along with the Project for a New American Century, was one of the premiere groups in shaping US policy during the Bush years and remains a formidable force with Obama in the White House.
Reading Colonel Peters’s sick and twisted essay reminded me of the report that emerged in late 2005 about an alleged Bush administration plot to bomb Al Jazeera’s international headquarters in Qatar, which I covered for The Nation:

Britain’s Daily Mirror reported that during an April 2004 White House meeting with British Prime Minister Tony Blair, George W. Bush floated the idea of bombing Al Jazeera’s international headquarters in Qatar. This allegation was based on leaked “Top Secret” minutes of the Bush-Blair summit. British Attorney General Lord Goldsmith has activated the Official Secrets Act, threatening any publication that publishes any portion of the memo (he has already brought charges against a former Cabinet staffer and a former parliamentary aide). So while we don’t yet know the contents of the memo, we do know that at the time of Bush’s meeting with Blair, the Administration was in the throes of a very public, high-level temper tantrum directed against Al Jazeera. The meeting took place on April 16, at the peak of the first US siege of Falluja, and Al Jazeera was one of the few news outlets broadcasting from inside the city. Its exclusive footage was being broadcast by every network from CNN to the BBC.

The Falluja offensive, one of the bloodiest assaults of the US occupation, was a turning point. In two weeks that April, thirty marines were killed as local guerrillas resisted US attempts to capture the city. Some 600 Iraqis died, many of them women and children. Al Jazeera broadcast from inside the besieged city, beaming images to the world. On live TV the network gave graphic documentary evidence disproving US denials that it was killing civilians. It was a public relations disaster, and the United States responded by attacking the messenger.

Just a few days before Bush allegedly proposed bombing the network, Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Falluja, Ahmed Mansour, reported live on the air, “Last night we were targeted by some tanks, twice…but we escaped. The US wants us out of Falluja, but we will stay.” On April 9 Washington demanded that Al Jazeera leave the city as a condition for a cease-fire. The network refused. Mansour wrote that the next day “American fighter jets fired around our new location, and they bombed the house where we had spent the night before, causing the death of the house owner Mr. Hussein Samir. Due to the serious threats we had to stop broadcasting for few days because every time we tried to broadcast the fighter jets spotted us we became under their fire.”

On April 11 senior military spokesperson Mark Kimmitt declared, “The stations that are showing Americans intentionally killing women and children are not legitimate news sources. That is propaganda, and that is lies.” On April 15 Donald Rumsfeld echoed those remarks in distinctly undiplomatic terms, calling Al Jazeera’s reporting “vicious, inaccurate and inexcusable…. It’s disgraceful what that station is doing.” It was the very next day, according to the Daily Mirror, that Bush told Blair of his plan. “He made clear he wanted to bomb al-Jazeera in Qatar and elsewhere,” a source told the Mirror. “There’s no doubt what Bush wanted to do—and no doubt Blair didn’t want him to do it.”

Lest people think that the views of people like Col. Ralph Peters and the JINSA/PNAC neocons are relics of the past, remember that the Obama administration includes heavy hitters from this world among its ranks, as well as fierce neocon supporters. While they may no longer be literally calling the shots, as they did under Bush/Cheney, their disproportionate influence on US policy endures.

AIPAC Caught Meddling in U.S. Foreign Policy - Yet Again

2009-05-18T12:45:00.016+08:00

"You can’t have an Israeli policy other than what AIPAC gives you around here."

Former U.S. Senator Ernest Hollings

See this article at The Raw Story:

Congressional leaders inadvertently expose Israeli lobbyists behind letter to Obama

GOP House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) circulated a letter to colleagues this week urging President Obama to support Israel when moving forward with any Israeli peace process.

Trouble is, they forgot to delete the name of the lobbying group involved in the letter from the document.

Attached to the email message they circulated when seeking signatures from other members of Congress was the document, titled, "AIPAC Letter Hoyer Cantor May 2009.pdf."

The excuse from an aide of House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer was, "The letter was discussed with AIPAC, [so] a staffer named it that."

Bullshit, AIPAC would've written it, and Stoyer, Cantor et al would've just obediently signed it. It wouldn't be the first time AIPAC has written letters and even legislation for Congress. Remember H.R. 362, which called for a naval blockade of Iran? Written by AIPAC, in line with Ehud Olmert's proposal to blockade Iran at a meeting with 12 members of Congress just three days before the resolution was introduced in the House. One of those 12 members of Congress just happened to be the same Steny Hoyer who circulated the aforementioned AIPAC letter to his colleagues.

Same with Senate Resolution 534 of 2006, a "resolution condemning Hezbollah and Hamas and their state sponsors and supporting Israel's exercise of its right to self-defense" during the Lebanon war -- written by AIPAC:

On July 18, the Senate unanimously approved a nonbinding resolution "condemning Hamas and Hezbollah and their state sponsors and supporting Israel's exercise of its right to self-defense." After House majority leader John Boehner removed language from the bill urging "all sides to protect innocent civilian life and infrastructure," the House version passed by a landslide, 410 to 8.

AIPAC not only lobbied for the resolution; it had written it. "They [Congress] were given a resolution by AIPAC," said former Carter Administration National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, who addressed the House Democratic Caucus on July 19. "They didn't prepare one."

Same with H.R. 34, "recognizing Israel's right to defend itself against attacks from Gaza, reaffirming the United States' strong support for Israel" during the recent Gaza massacre -- written by AIPAC.

Today AIPAC's website is bragging about the $555 million in aid that it conned Congress into pledging to Israel, which is only a fraction of the massive $2.775 billion that Israel is expected to receive in a military aid package proposed for 2010.

Despite expectations that the Obama administration will pressure Israel to accept a two-state solution and implement practical measures, the U.S. administration has sent signals that aid to Israel will, in fact, be raised. At the same time, the budget also imposes harsh conditions on the Palestinian Authority in order to receive aid.

According to the Israeli daily, Haaretz, the budget proposed to Congress for 2010 includes $2.775 billion in aid to Israel, compared to $2.5 billon budgeted for 2009. This is more than a 10% increase in total U.S. aid to Israel.

The Congress might as well just stop pretending, hoist the Israeli flag and outsource its bill-writing to Israel. Do away with the red-white-and-blue, and just fly the blue and white.

AIPAC 2009: The Movie

Deja Vu: The Lobby Takes Aim at Another University Professor

2009-04-30T23:16:00.009+08:00

It's another Israel Lobby hit-job, just like the one that resulted in Norman Finkelstein being denied tenure at De Paul University, Chicago. This time it's William I. Robinson of the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB), who like Finkelstein is a Jewish academic, and who, also like Finkelstein, has the overwhelming support of his students against the debate-stifling, free speech-suppressing tactics of the Zionist Lobby.

Leading the campaign against Robinson is the notorious ADL of B'nai B'rith and the Simon Weisenthal Center, who were alerted of Robinson's alleged "anti-Semitism" by two Jewish students attending one of his classes.

Two Jewish students dropped the class, saying they felt intimidated by the professor's message. They contacted the Simon Wiesenthal Center, which advised them to file formal complaints with the university.

In their letters, senior Rebecca Joseph and junior Tova Hausman accused Robinson of violating the campus' faculty code of conduct by disseminating personal, political material unrelated to his course.

"I was shocked," said Joseph, 22. "He overstepped his boundaries as a professor. He has his own freedom of speech, but he doesn't have the freedom to send his students his own opinion that is so strong."

Does that even make sense? Presumably, free speech is ok by Joseph as long as your opinions aren't too 'strong'. The message that poor little Rebecca is referring to is an email that Professor Robinson forwarded to his sociology students containing information, images and commentary regarding the recent Gaza massacre. What the Terror State did to Gaza is definitely "shocking", but check out the content of the original email and see how "intimidated" you feel. Even the slavishly pro-Israel Zionists at The New Republic are sick of all the fuss, exclaiming "Enough With the Campus Inquisitions!"

An Interview with William Robinson
Zionist Lobby Targets Another Tenured Professor

By DOUG HENWOOD

Doug Henwood: We're now joined by William Robinson, who is a Professor of Sociology at the University of California in Santa Barbara, someone I met about six or seven years ago at a conference and, although I've disagreed with him on some issues, I thought he's a serious and thoughtful guy. I was very distressed to learn, reading Insider Higher Ed, the website, today that he's being persecuted by the Zionist lobby for an e-mail that he sent around to some of his students. Welcome William Robinson, tell us the story of what you sent and what's been happening.

William Robinson: Yes, good afternoon to everyone. I included some material which was highly critical of the Israeli invasion of Gaza as part of the reading material for a course on globalization and global affairs, and this was in January. And I am now facing charges, here at the university, of anti-semitism and violating the faculty code of conduct because two students in the course - there were eighty students - these two submitted a formal letter of complaint that they found offensive the material condemning the invasion of Gaza. The students immediately withdrew from the course, I don't even know them personally. And what is particularly egregious about this case is not that the students submitted a complaint - any student is allowed to do that - but rather that the university took the complaint seriously and is actually prosecuting me...

DH: You have tenure right?

WR: Yes, I am tenured, I am a full time professor...

DH: So in theory you're protected against persecution for your beliefs.

WR: No, in theory, I have total, I and even if I don't have tenure, have academic freedom, and this is in total violation of my academic freedom and of all of the principles of academic freedom, and of the university's own charter on academic freedom, and the American Association of University Professors principles and procedures on academic freedom, so there is absolutely no basis for any of this. What's going on, and I want to explain, behind the scenes we have been able to find out - students on campus and faculty have formed a Committee to Defend Academic Freedom which is taking up this issue, and by the way, there is a blog that they put up with all of this information, which at some point I would like to give your listeners - but we have found out that the Anti-Defamation League, which, as you know, and your listeners probably know, is an organization which, at one time, did very good and very important work in denouncing anti-Semitism, but since then has become a, basically, a mouthpiece for the Israeli government, a defender of the policies and practices of the Israeli state, and goes after and attacks anyone that criticizes those policies. So these students did not even accuse me of doing anything which we would consider anti-Semitism - discrimination against Jews, against the Jewish religion and so forth - they said openly and outright that the professor introduces material which criticized the state of Israel and that equals anti-semitism.

DH: Now, I think some people found offensive that you had likened Israeli behavior to the Nazis. Is that an issue?

WR: Well I didn't do that. What I did was I forwarded several items from the world media, from the internet media. One item was an article written by a Jewish journalist in a Jewish newspaper here in the United States, and it was criticizing the invasion of Gaza...

DH: So you didn't endorse this position?

WR: I didn't endorse it but I did include, I said, in presenting this material, I said that Gaza is Israel's Warsaw and I explained the context. That's because in Warsaw the Nazi's surrounded Warsaw, concentrated Jews in Warsaw, wouldn't let anyone in, wouldn't let anyone out, wouldn't let supplies in, wouldn't let supplies out; as a result there was famine and disease and so forth...

DH: Which is exactly what's...

WR: ...exactly and precisely what the Israeli's are doing in Gaza. And that's been denounced by the Red Cross, the United Nations, the international human rights organizations, and moreover, academic freedom totally allows me to present such controversial material and that's part of what the university is all about. We academically debate these controversial issues. I want to explain though what happened. We got some inside information in the last week. The president of the Anti-Defamation League Abraham Fox-...

DH: Foxman

WR: Foxman, he arrived here in Santa Barbara and he called a meeting with a select group of faculty, and he called the meeting for no other reason than to say that we want Professor Robinson prosecuted, and this is explosive. We have just learned about this; we're going to go public with it. And so there is this outside Israel lobby which has come on to campus, and which is accusing me of anti-Semitism and of doing all of these terrible things in order to create an atmosphere of complete intimidation. You know that anyone who criticizes the policies of the state of Israel is silenced, and is given that label of anti-semitism; that's a way of creating this atmosphere of intimidation, that no one can speak out about what's going on in Israel-Palestine, and so forth. That's the larger context.

DH: Ok, I'm sorry to make this so rushed, but this is a last minute addition and the rest of the show is full, just let me conclude...What can people do?

WR: [Go to] sb4af.wordpress.com. That's the blog that the Committee to Defend Academic Freedom has set up, and a lot of this information is on there, a lot of the documents are on there.

DH: All right, well thank you William Robinson and best of luck in your fight and we'll be back to look at this in the future.

WR: Thank-you, thank-you very much.

DH: I've been speaking with William Robinson, who is a professor of sociology at the University of California at Santa Barbara, under persecution by the intellectual police at the Zionist lobby, the Anti-Defamation League.

The American Bankocracy

2009-04-27T11:37:00.016+08:00

"The Trilateral Commission is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States. The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power– political, monetary, intellectual and ecclesiastical. What the Trilateral Commission intends is to create a worldwide economic power superior to the political governments of the nation-states involved. As managers and creators of the system, they will rule the future."

Senator Barry Goldwater, 1979

Obama is considered by many to be the Wall Street President, almost as if it's a first in U.S. politics, but nothing could be further from the truth. With the advent of the Global Financial Crisis (or GFC - might as well give it its own acronym since we'll be hearing about it ad nauseam for a long time yet), now is a good time to review the history of the Wall Street Establishment's incestuous relationship with the U.S. government and the extent to which America is ruled not so much by its politicians, but by the banking interests that fund, select and control them.

Murray N. Rothbard's article Wall Street, Banks and American Foreign Policy, written in 1984 and first published by a small financial journal called the World Market Perspective, is an epic historical account of the control and manipulation of the U.S. government by the big banks and their agents, from the Lincoln era all the way up to the end of the Reagan Administration. His article details the massive influence of Morgan and Rockefeller banking interests on the U.S. government and its foreign affairs throughout the 20th century - from within and without - which by 1973 had come together in the form of the Trilateral Commission. This shady organisation has hand-picked, vetted and groomed for office every presidential candidate since Nixon, including Obama.

Rothbard, until his death in 1995, was a Jewish-American economist, author and intellectual, and a fierce opponent of fractional reserve banking and the Federal Reserve [.pdf] (also see Rothbard's The Mystery of Banking [.pdf]). He was also a staunch anti-Zionist [.pdf] who wrote about the hypocrisy of the ADL and the "menace" of what he called "Organised Anti-Anti-Semitism".

The major fount of OAAS [Organised Anti-Anti-Semitism] is the venerable Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith (ADL), the head of what the grand Old Rightist John T. Flynn referred to during World War II as the "Smear Bund." (Flynn was forced to publish himself his expose of the orchestrated smear of isolationists in his pamphlet, The Smear Terror.) Since the end of World War II, the key strategy of the ADL has been to broaden its definition of anti-Semitism to include any robust criticisms of the State of Israel. Indeed, the ADL and the rest of the OAAS has formed itself into a mighty praetorian guard focusing on Israeli interests and Israeli security.

Rothbard's article Wall Street, Banks and American Foreign Policy is not what I would call entertainment - it's rich in detail and scrutinises the minutiae of each politician's banking and/or commercial connections - but it's a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the financial elite's stranglehold on the government of the United States. And it's probably more important and salient now than it was when it was written in '84.

Wall Street, Banks and American Foreign Policy

CIA: Israel Will Vanish From the Pages of Time

2009-03-15T14:03:00.003+09:00

Despite the American establishment's outrage at some of the statements made by Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (and even at some that he didn't make), the CIA seems to agree wholeheartedly with him on the fate of the Zionist State.

Ahmadinejad:

"It is impossible that the Zionist regime will survive. Collapse is in the nature of this regime because it has been created on aggression, lying, oppression and crime."

The CIA:

"[There will be] an inexorable movement away from a two-state to a one-state solution, as the most viable model based on democratic principles of full equality that sheds the looming specter of colonial Apartheid while allowing for the return of the 1947/1948 and 1967 refugees. The latter being the precondition for sustainable peace in the region."

These are the conclusions of a recently released CIA report, which is being passed along to a few U.S. lawmakers but so far not available to the public. More on this upbeat and optimistic report from the PressTV website:

[International lawyer Franklin Lamb] said CIA, in its report, alludes to the unexpectedly quick fall of the apartheid government in South Africa and recalls the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, suggesting the end to the dream of an 'Israeli land' would happen 'way sooner' than later.

(The CIA predicts Israel has about 20 more years before it wipes itself off the map).

The study further predicts the return of over one and a half million Israelis to Russia and other parts of Europe, and denotes a decline in Israeli births whereas a rise in the Palestinian population.

Lamb said given the Israeli conduct toward the Palestinians and the Gaza strip in particular, the American public -- which has been voicing its protest against Tel Aviv's measures in the last 25 years -- may 'not take it anymore'.

Well, let's hope they don't 'take it anymore'. America would definitely be much better off without Israel.

Obama to Force Israel to Allow Inspections of Dimona Nuclear Facility

2009-03-11T11:16:00.023+09:00

That is, as soon as he gives up on life altogether and begins considering his options, which might include a dignified euthanasia, a hunting trip with Dick Cheney, announcing the abolition of the Federal Reserve, or as Haaretz has suggested, pressuring Israel to open the doors of Dimona to weapons inspectors.

Last Sunday, Jim Hoagland, who writes a column on foreign affairs in The Washington Post, wrote that Obama should learn from president John F. Kennedy and call for worldwide nuclear disarmament. Hoagland's columns generally express the consensus of the U.S. foreign affairs establishment. Kennedy was the last American president to have tried to stop the Israeli nuclear project. He threatened that there would be serious ramifications vis-a-vis U.S. support for Israel if the reactor in Dimona was not opened to frequent visits by inspectors. The pressure that Kennedy applied on the matter of Dimona was apparently one of the factors in David Ben-Gurion's resignation in 1963. Kennedy's assassination several months later led to a relaxation of that pressure and Israel was able to complete construction of the reactor in the Negev.

What an incredibly handy, uncannily timed (but of course totally-fortuitous-because-to-hint-at-anything-otherwise-would-be-antisemitic) stroke of luck that was for the terror state! With Kennedy out of the way, the Zionists were able to put the finishing touches on their arsenal of death, and become even more belligerent and dangerous than they were before they stole Palestine and proceeded to wage a series of wars of aggression against their Arab neighbors and surrounding Middle Eastern nations. About a dozen wars so far - not including countless other less epic conflicts - in which Israel was the aggressor in every instance but one.

Israel's nuclear arsenal was the ultimate achievement for the international Zionist elite, the realisation of a long-awaited dream of the founding fathers of modern Ziostan. Suddenly 'Israel', the illegitimate child of scheming international bankers who already controlled the greatest nations on Earth through their central banks, was not to be fucked with. Israel had its 'Samson Option', evinced here by Martin van Creveld, professor of military history at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem:

'We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force. Let me quote General Moshe Dayan: "Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother." I consider it all hopeless at this point. We shall have to try to prevent things from coming to that, if at all possible. Our armed forces, however, are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under.'

Obama will keep his mouth shut on the Dimona issue, of course. Obama is Israel's bitch.

(Update: Obama agrees to keep Israel's nukes secret, Washington Times, Oct 2009)

The Jewish Face of Congress

2008-10-16T01:59:00.021+08:00

"No words can express our gratitude to you for the years of your generous support, understanding and cooperation, which are all but beyond compare in modern history."

Yitzhak Rabin in a 1994 speech to the U.S. Congress

The Forward is worth checking out from time to time, in order to keep an eye on the machinations of American Jewry.

There would be enough members for a whole new minyan in Congress if all the Jewish candidates running for federal office were elected next month.

Regardless of the election outcome, Jews continue to be well represented, at least in terms of raw numbers, on Capitol Hill. Though Jews are only about 2% of America’s total population, Jewish lawmakers already represent nearly 10% of Congress. They include 29 Jews in the House and 13 in the Senate.

That means the Senate is 13% Jewish, since there are 100 members in total.

All but three — Virginia’s Eric Cantor in the House, and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania and Norm Coleman of Minnesota in the Senate — are Democrats. Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman is considered an Independent, but he remains a registered Democrat despite his hearty support for Republican nominee John McCain.

That makes perfect sense in light of the fact that a full 50% of the Democratic party's political donations come from rich Jewish donors, as another article from the Forward reveals.

[Strategists] say that money from Jewish donors constitutes about half the donations given to national Democratic candidates (an extremely large pot of gelt long coveted by the GOP).

Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh on Jewish money controlling the American political process, in an interview with Amy Goodman of Democracy Now:

SEYMOUR HERSH: Money. A lot of the Jewish money from New York. Come on, let's not kid about it. A significant percentage of Jewish money, and many leading American Jews support the Israeli position that Iran is an existential threat. And I think it’s as simple as that. When you’re from New York and from New York City, you take the view of -- right now, when you’re running a campaign, you follow that line. And there’s no other explanation for it, because [Hilary Clinton is] smart enough to know the downside.

AMY GOODMAN: And Obama and Edwards?

SEYMOUR HERSH: I -- you know, it’s shocking. It’s really surprising and shocking, but there we are. That’s American politics circa 2007.

As for the Gentile majority in Congress, their pro-Israel dispositions are probably more attributable to AIPAC's deathgrip on the House and Senate than their philosophical positions and actual policy preferences.

It is widely acknowledged that the reps and senators are ticked at AIPAC, and their hostility seems to be growing these days. With upwards of 60% of their campaign contributions coming directly or indirectly from the Israel Lobby, the Democratic congressmen are not free to respond to their antiwar base. This opens them to an antiwar electoral challenge on the Left or Right from forces not subservient to AIPAC. And that could cost them their next election, a little thing which has them very worked up. Capuano's cry of "AIPAC" was no simple outburst of candor but a cri de coeur for his career.
So here we have even Congressmen and Senator's aides complaining publicly about AIPAC.

More about AIPAC's influence on the Congress from an article at The Nation:

In early March, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) held its forty-seventh annual conference in Washington. AIPAC's executive director spent twenty-seven minutes reading the "roll call" of dignitaries present at the gala dinner, which included a majority of the Senate and a quarter of the House, along with dozens of Administration officials.

As this event illustrates, it's impossible to talk about Congress's relationship to Israel without highlighting AIPAC, the American Jewish community's most important voice on the Hill. The Congressional reaction to Hezbollah's attack on Israel and Israel's retaliatory bombing of Lebanon provide the latest example of why.

On July 18, the Senate unanimously approved a nonbinding resolution "condemning Hamas and Hezbollah and their state sponsors and supporting Israel's exercise of its right to self-defense." After House majority leader John Boehner removed language from the bill urging "all sides to protect innocent civilian life and infrastructure," the House version passed by a landslide, 410 to 8.

AIPAC not only lobbied for the resolution; it had written it. "They [Congress] were given a resolution by AIPAC," said former Carter Administration National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, who addressed the House Democratic Caucus on July 19. "They didn't prepare one."

Also see this letter from former U.S. Senator James Abourezk to Jeffrey Blankfort.

I can tell you from personal experience that, at least in the Congress, the support Israel has in that body is based completely on political fear--fear of defeat by anyone who does not do what Israel wants done. I can also tell you that very few members of Congress--at least when I served there--have any affection for Israel or for its Lobby. What they have is contempt, but it is silenced by fear of being found out exactly how they feel. I've heard too many cloakroom conversations in which members of the Senate will voice their bitter feelings about how they're pushed around by the Lobby to think otherwise. In private one hears the dislike of Israel and the tactics of the Lobby, but not one of them is willing to risk the Lobby's animosity by making their feelings public.

But AIPAC aside, there's a significant Shabbat goy component sitting in the U.S. Congress, many of them having been groomed, courted and ultimately converted by AIPAC's brainwashing operation, the American Israel Education Foundation (AIEF).

In August 2007, nearly 10% of the House of Representatives visited the Apartheid State in just two weeks, funded entirely by the AIEF. And that's just 14 days out of a 365 day year. Nearly all of the Congress is sent to Israel for what Bradley Gordon of AIPAC describes as "educational programming". It has been suggested by some members of Congress that these brainwashing trips should be made illegal.

Referring to the August 2007 congressional mass exodus to the Terror State, Paul Craig Roberts writes:

According to news reports, another 40 are following these two groups during the August recess, and “by the time the year is out every single member of Congress will have made their rounds in Israel.” This claim is probably overstated, but it does show careful Israeli management of U.S. policy in the Middle East.

Former Israeli Knesset Member Uri Avenim hits the nail on the head in the final paragraphs of his article The Best Senate Money Can Buy, originally published by Haaretz:

In the US Congress they talk, not only of granting Israel the money it asks for, but also of exciting initiatives of goodwill as, for example, the transfer of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Such steps are bound, of course, to undermine the US position and prestige in all the Islamic states; but such considerations do not worry most Congress and Senate members overmuch, as their sole aim is to be re-elected.

The paying of donations to US administration officials is considered one of the most vital sections of Israeli expenditure. Once having paid these tributes to US officials, Israel is thus guaranteed, in return, huge sums of money in the form of US grants.

For the $4.25m Israel has paid to prime the US Congress, Israel will receive a US grant totalling $2.6bn. for its money, therefore, Israel will have struck the bargain of the century, receiving an interest of 60,000 per cent on its original investment. The extra grant to Israel will increase that interest even more.

Had it been possible to cure the Israeli economic disease with the flood of US dollars, there would have been no problem. The problem is that all this cash flow is to no avail for, according to many economic experts, such arrangements make the situation even more complicated.

One thing, however, is quite clear: Israel is not the 51st state of the United States of America, as some would like to think; rather, the US Congress is one of the occupied areas of Israel.

America is truly Israel's bitch.

Update: There are now a total of 45 Jews in Congress - 32 in the House and 13 in the Senate - setting an all time record. See 'Record no. of Jews elected to Congress', Jerusalem Post, November 5.

The Never Ending Story of Jewish Violence

2008-10-15T17:07:00.025+08:00

It's olive harvest season in the West Bank, and militant Jewish racists who inhabit the illegal settlements throughout Occupied Palestine are again determined to cause as much grief as possible for struggling Palestinian farmers. Even human rights activists seeking to provide protection for the farmers come under attack from these violent Zionist loons.

Already hundreds of olive trees have been torched in Nablus by these nutcases, some of them hundreds of years old, while the complicit IOF not only refuses to prevent the Jewish attacks but provides them with practical and moral support and goes about arresting and kidnapping Palestinians just for good measure.

Yesterday, Friday, Oct 10:

Elderly Man, Two Kids Injured In West Bank Settler Attack
Israeli settlers injured six Palestinians as they harvested their olive trees near the illegal Israeli settlement of Brachah.

Medical sources at Radefia hospital told Ma’an that six residents of the village south of Nablus suffered bruises, fractures and wounds after settlers assaulted them. Among the victims were two children and an elderly Palestinian man.

Hospital officials identified the two injured children as eight-year-old Hesham Fayez Fathi Mansur and 12-year-old Madeeha Nassar Rashed Mansur.

70-year-old Fathi Rasheed Mansur, as well as Ibtisam Naasar Rasheed and Manal Wasfi Rasheed Mansur, both 30, were also injured in the attack.
A Palestinian Authority (PA) official responsible for village affairs told Ma’an that “dozens of Israeli settlers” attacked the Palestinians.

The official, Ghassan Daghlas, said the settlers “beat and threw stones at the residents” of the village on Friday.

Attack on U.S. Embassy in Yemen Linked to Mossad

2008-10-09T02:08:00.009+08:00

U.S. embassy in Sanaa, Yemen

Remember the attack on the U.S. embassy in Yemen last month that took the lives of eighteen people? A group calling themselves "Islamic Jihad" claimed responsibility for the blast. It has a nice, scary ring to it hasn't it? "Islamic Jihad" also happens to be the name of a group that operates out of Gaza.

"Islamic Jihad" pointedly mentioned its affiliation with al Qaeda after claiming responsibility for the September 17 U.S. embassy bombing:

"We, the Organisation of Islamic Jihad, belonging to the Al-Qaeda network, repeat our demand of (Yemeni President) Ali Abdullah Saleh to free our detained brothers within 48 hours," said a statement signed by self-proclaimed leader Abu Ghaith al-Yamani.

Former agent for French military intelligence Pierre-Henry Bunel has this to say about 'al Qaeda':

"The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the 'devil' only in order to drive the 'TV watcher' to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism..."

Well now the Yemeni authorities have arrested a group of these al Qaeda-backed militants with, surprise surprise, links to Israeli intelligence.

From BBC News:

Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh has said the security forces have arrested a group of alleged Islamist militants linked to Israeli intelligence.
Mr Saleh did not say what evidence had been found to show the group's links with Israel, a regional enemy of Yemen.
The arrests were connected with an attack on the US embassy in Sanaa last month which killed at least 18 people, official sources were quoted saying.
Israel's foreign ministry has rejected the accusation as "totally ridiculous".
"A terrorist cell was arrested and will be referred to the judicial authorities for its links with the Israeli intelligence services," Mr Saleh told a gathering at al-Mukalla University in Hadramawt province.
"Details of the trial will be announced later. You will hear about what goes on in the proceedings," he added.
The 17 September attack was the second to target the US embassy since April. Militants detonated car bombs before firing rockets at the heavily fortified building.
Mr Saleh did not identify the suspects, but official sources were quoted saying it was same cell - led by a militant called Abu al-Ghaith al-Yamani - whose arrest was announced a week after the attack.
An Israeli foreign ministry spokesman said the Yemeni president's statement was without foundation.
"To believe that Israel would create Islamist cells in Yemen is really far-fetched. This is yet another victory for the proponents of conspiracy theories," Igal Palmor said in remarks reported by AFP.

And from the Yemen Observer:

President Saleh revealed on Monday that security forces in Yemen caught an espionage network for Israel made up of Arab nationals. This announcement came during his speech in front of MP's, Shura Council members, local council members, scholars and military and security leaders at Hadhramout University.
According to the president the suspected spies will be brought before the courts shortly in a public trial after investigations are complete.
The network was comprised of 40 people from different Arab nationalities spying for Mossad, the Israeli international intelligence said sources from National and Political Security Units. The members of the espionage network entered Yemen on the premise of conducting business, tourism and even for preaching in mosques. Saleh said that the suspected spies form a terrorism cell that uses also Islam to reach their targets.Members were arrested individually and found to be in possession of detailed maps for sensitive security sites, intelligence telecommunication units and advanced tracking devices.

And from another Oct 8 news report:

Dubai, Oct 8 (IANS) A terrorist cell busted in Yemen last month after a suicide attack on the US embassy there had links with an Israeli intelligence agency, the state-run Saba news agency reported. The report, quoting an unnamed source, said investigations and data retrieved from a computer seized from the cell, showed there was correspondence between the Islamic Jihad group’s deputy leader Bassam Abdullah Fadhel Al-Haidari and an Israeli intelligence agency.

Saba quoted the source as saying that the correspondence between the two sides included a request from the Israeli side to implement terrorist attacks inside Yemen.

Update: Here is the Saba news report mentioned above.

BBC: The Myth of al Qaeda

Jewish "al Qaeda"

The Jewish Terrorists of the JDO and JDL

2008-08-30T11:39:00.025+08:00

JDO militants pose for a photo at their
training ground, Camp Jabotinsky

You'd be forgiven for thinking that the photo above depicts a group of violent crazies from an illegal settlement somewhere in the West Bank, but these are American Jews, members of the extremist New York-based Jewish Defense Organization (JDO).

Check out the JDO website for some light entertainment. These militant Zionist Jews are hardcore Kahanist Jabotinskyites -- fans of the criminal founder of the Irgun, Ze'ev (or Vladimir) Jabotinsky. The head of the JDO, Mordechai Levy, is a criminal himself, having spent 18 months of a 4½ year sentence in prison for attempted murder after trying to shoot Jewish Defense League (JDL) leader Irv Rubin. Rubin is another criminal Jew who got prison time for plotting bomb attacks in a mosque and in the office of Arab-American congressman Darrel Issa. He later committed suicide in prison. The Jew who tried to kill him, our JDO militant Mordechai Levy, was also charged with a July 2000 assault on a 12 year old boy at a JDO "summer camp", and pleaded guilty. What is it with Jews and violence?

A militant Zionist Jew teaches a little Jewish kid how
to deal with the Goyim at a JDO "summer camp"

To finally put to rest the silly myth that Jews are more intelligent than the rest of us, check out the grammar of these JDO dufuses:

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO GIVE 1 NIGHT A WEEK 4 HOURS TO HELP MAKE SURE THAT "NEVER AGAIN" A CROWN HEIGHTS POGROM RIOT AGAINST JEWS!!! VOLUNTEER AND GIVE A JEWISH DARN ABOUT YOUR FELLOW JEWS BEING ATTACKED DAILY THERE!!!

Violently stupid, and deceitful as well. Lies are underlined, violence is in bold:

Tonight JDO Security Team beat a group of Moslem terrorists from the PLO and Hamas along with a group of anarchists who had accompanied them physically at their "Death to Israel, Death to the Jews " protest. Why? The reason was tonight well meaning Jews had organized a concert for Israel at Radio City Music Hall at which five thousand Jews were coming to hear top entertainers. JDO had gotten info that PLO and Hamas were going to come to ruin this Israel concert.At 7:30 Pm JDO ST had arrived and across the street were 500 vile Israel hating and Jew-Hating demonstrators calling for the Jews in Israel to be slaughtered and killed and supporting bombings against Jews in Israel and worldwide against Jews done by Islamic terrorists. Strangely enough one third of the group of anarchists and communists chanting the same and passing out flyers [sic] praising armed PLO and Hamas attacks on Jews, were Jews themselves!! Art [sic] this point JDO ST had plans to really wreck their march, but at 8 PM the PLO, Hamas and Israel hating anarchists charged from across the street to beat, pummel and push the many Jews waiting in line for the pro-Israel concert. JDO ST thank G-D immediately physically fought off these vile attackers of Jews. Thank G-D many in JDO routed the PLO and Hamas and stopped them from seriously hurting Jews. Many Jews in the crowd joined with JDO to literally beat back the attackers who then ran.

Actually, those referred to as the "PLO and Hamas" were in fact a non-violent group of anti-Zionist activists called Jews Remember The Nakba, and they weren't passing out "flyers praising armed PLO and Hamas attacks on Jews". This is what was on the flyers they were handing out:

No time to celebrate! Jews remember the nakba: standing in solidarity with 60+ years of Palestinian resistance to Zionism. This May, while Israel marks 60 years of statehood, Palestinians around the world mourn 60 years since the Nakba - Arabic for 'catastrophe.' [Source]

If I had to bet on who started the aggro, my money would go straight on the militant right wing Kahanist karate-practising gun-nuts I'm writing this article about, not the compassionate, empathetic, antiwar bleeding hearts of Jews Remember The Nakba.

Not surprisingly, the JDO supports the immediate release of Israeli spy Johnathan Pollard, who they describe as a 'hero'. As far as hawkish American Jewry is concerned, imperiling the United States for Israel's sake is the moral duty of any self-respecting Jew. This is what the JDO website says about Pollard:

POLLARD CAUGHT GIVING INFORMATION TO ISRAEL YEARS AGO: A SO CALLED SPY FOR ISRAEL THAT GAVE INFO ON SADDAM HUSSEIN'S PLOTS TO TRY AND USE NUKES (Heaven Forbid) or chemical weapons on Israel that the US Government had found out about. Pollard, then working for the US Navy, passed the info to Israel to help protect it! Pollard for this act of heroism, has been sitting 18 years in prison. Why?

This is why, you disingenuous Zionist twats. Pollard did substantially more than just pass on information about Iraq and its "nukes":

Pollard caused enormous damage to U.S. national security. He gave Israel top-secret U.S. military intelligence and diplomatic codes; names of nearly 100 U.S. agents in the Mideast, who were then "turned" by Israel; NSA code-breaking techniques and targets; intercepts of foreign communications; and U.S. war-fighting plans for the Mideast.

According to CIA sources, Pollard provided Israeli intelligence with names of important American agents inside the former Soviet Union and Russia who had supplied information on East Bloc weapons and war plans. How the agents' names were linked to the secrets they supplied - a major breach of basic intelligence security - remains a mystery.

Some of the enormously sensitive secrets stolen by Pollard may have been either sold, or bartered, by Israel to the Soviet Union.

A number of key CIA agents in the East Bloc were allegedly executed as a result of Pollard's spying. The KGB likely gained access to top-secret U.S. codes - either directly from Israel, or through spies in Israel's government. In short, Pollard's treachery caused one of the worst security disasters in modern U.S. history

According to Seymour Hersh, Pollard himself estimates that the top secret intelligence he passed on to Israel and its agents would add up to a "stack six feet wide, six feet long, and ten feet high". The JDO, like its counterparts at the ADL, AIPAC, half the Congress and almost the entire Bush administration, hardly bother to conceal where their true loyalty lies. They don't need to while they have us convinced that questioning Israel is tantamount to antisemitism, which is of course the whole idea behind the ADL, and its primary function. It's groups like these that together constitute the power network generally referred to as the Israel lobby, and if we could just wake up to the dangers of it as a collective and act accordingly, we'd see peace break out and miracles happen.

Zionist Sophistry

2008-07-12T00:45:00.012+08:00

Zionists and pro-Israel 'progressives' love to cry antisemitism when confronted with the truth. Wherever there is criticism of Israel the 'antisemitism' subterfuge comes out. The reason for this is that Zionists have no other way to respond, no recourse other than to engage in sophistry and escapism.

An erudite Zionist can't win a debate with an erudite anti-Zionist.

Zionists can't deny that Israel's leading intellectuals believe that there is 'no place for morals' when it comes to the 'defence' of the Jewish state, and that the deliberate and indiscriminate targeting of women and children, the extermination of all Palestinian males, the annihilation of the entire Arab population in general and even military attacks on media personnel are justified when it comes to protecting Israel and its image.

Zionists can't deny the fact that Israel has been in a constant state of war against its Arab neighbors since its inception in 1948, and that it's been the aggressor in every war except one (the Yom Kippur/Ramadan war, 1973) - and that Iran hasn't attacked another country for at least a millennium.

Zionists can't deny that 16 U.S. intelligence agencies unanimously agree that Iran has no nuclear weapons program, and that nuclear weapons research was outlawed in Iran by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1979 on the grounds that it was un-Islamic - but they would have us believe that Iran is an "existential threat" to Israel.

Zionists can't deny the hypocrisy of Israel's constant whining and sabre-rattling against Iran for its legitimate nuclear energy program, in light of the fact that Israel has a huge arsenal of nukes hiding behind its policy of "nuclear ambiguity".

Zionists can't deny that for every Israeli child killed in Israel's war of aggression against the indigenous Palestinians, at least 9 Palestinian children die at the hands of the Israelis. They can't deny that Palestinian deaths in general are hugely disproportionate to Israeli casualities - and this is without including the deaths that occurred during the Nakba. Nor can they deny that for every Palestinian tortured and maimed, there is roughly zero Israelis tortured.

Zionists can't deny that Israeli Talmudists are the most racist people on the planet.

Zionists can't deny that U.S. foreign policy has been hijacked by dual citizenship traitors to serve the interests of the Zionist state, and that the Iraq war was launched to protect Israel and to ensure its regional hegemony.

Zionists can't deny that Israeli fingerprints are all over the false flag terror attacks of 9/11.

Zionists can't deny that Israel has been illegally occupying Palestinian land and engaging in ethnic cleansing for the entire 60 years of its existence, and that it stands in violation of more U.N. resolutions than any other state on Planet Earth. Zionists can't deny that its settlement expansion program in the West Bank is illegal by international law, or that its apartheid wall that snakes its way through Palestinian land is illegal, and that both are immoral and despicable irrespective of the rule of law.

Zionists can't even deny that the very existence of "Israel" as a nation state is illegal and illegitimate.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg as far as any debate would go.

Group Insanity: The CUFI War Cult

2008-05-14T08:50:00.026+08:00

CUFI is one of the many Christian Zionist organisations that the American Israel lobby manipulates to its advantage. The Jerusalem Summit, a hard-line, Islamophobic Zionist outfit that advocates a solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict based on relocating the indigenous Palestinians from Palestine to other countries, provides us with an insight into how Jewish groups perceive the Evangelical Christian Right as an asset to Zionism:

[The Jerusalem Summit] endeavors to cultivate "awareness of [the] fact that the Evangelical Christian community is both a strategic ally and a strategic asset for Israel. This is a community which has not only demonstrated its staunch and unflinching support for the State of Israel and the People of Israel, but is also the only segment of humanity which has (a) the spiritual energy, (b) the numerical mass, and (c) the moral resolve to effectively confront the phenomenon of global Islamism." [source]

Not "global terrorism" or even "Islamic extremism" - "global Islamism", as in the religion itself. What the Jerusalem Summit is saying is that the Evangelical Christian community is an asset to the Zionist war on Islam.

Below is a PBS documentary hosted by Bill Moyers about the radical right wing Christians United For Israel cult, led by deluded Zionist lapdog Pastor John Hagee.

The rabidly Zionist evangelical Christian right constitutes some of the most powerfully visible evidence that Zionism is the premier threat to world peace. Watching these flag-waving religious nut-jobs cheer and weep and pray with fervour for the annihilation of Iran and its people is about as scary as it gets.

This is group insanity in its rawest form. These cultists are the embodiment of fanaticism and the unfathomable danger of institutionalised delusion. These are America's Christian equivalents to Israel's insanely racist Talmudic Zionist Jews. And they would have us believe that 'God' approves of this madness, and 'founded Israel'. T'would be a God most unholy with hands most unclean that would give rise and sustenance to that shitty little state.

God save us from these fucking lunatics.

There's Something About Hillary

2008-01-14T20:21:00.001+09:00

A DNA test of Monica Lewinsky's dress
was traced back to Hillary's hair gel

[Disclaimer: Looks like I was wrong about Hillary getting the nomination; please ignore the following smug predictions]

She's been endorsed by the Rothschilds, enjoys cozy relationships with every elite power group that matters like the CFR, the Bilderbergers and the Trilateral Commission through her husband, who is a member of all three, and has won the financial support of defense contractors, most of the US weapons industry and the military industrial complex at large. She's been wooed by uber-Zionist Rupert Murdoch, the most powerful media mogul on the planet, and to top it all off, she's Wall Street's favorite, raking in the lion's share of support from investment banks and other powerful corporate interests.

Hillary knows how to play politics - that is to say, she knows where the money is, and she knows how to suck up to AIPAC. She secured massive dollar-support from pro-Israel organisations last year, and you can bet that AIPAC is instructing its Zio-PAC underlings to funnel their cash her way this year. As a side note, many of these pro-Israel PACs are actually operated by AIPAC directly, as the Wall Street Journal reported in June 1987:

despite AIPAC’s claims of non-involvement in political spending, no fewer than 51 pro-Israel PACs—most of which draw money from Jewish donors and operate under obscure-sounding names—are operated by AIPAC officials or people who hold seats on AIPAC’s two major policymaking bodies. [source]

Hillary learned not to mess with the lobby in November 1999 when she hugged and kissed Suha Arafat, wife of PLO leader Yasser Arafat, at a function she attended in the West Bank when she was still the First Lady. The lobby spat the dummy over this outrageous faux pas, and by the next day Hillary had totally changed her mind about Suha and her "inflammatory rhetoric". By October the next year she was telling a reporter from Jewish Week that the whole thing was a big mistake and she shouldn't have gone to the West Bank at all, adding that it led to "a misimpression [sic] about my strong feelings and support of Israel."

She raised the ire of the Israel lobby again in 2000 when she accepted a $50,000 donation from the American Muslim Alliance (AMA) during her bid for election to the US Senate. When the lobby huffed and puffed and got all upset, she fell over herself to return the cash, saying "All $50,000, every penny of it, is going back." She even insulted her Muslim beneficiary by adding that she was offended by remarks allegedly made by members of the organisation, remarks that were supposedly 'antisemitic'. She went even further and gave back $1,000 donated to her by an American Muslim Council official who had nothing to do with the AMA fiasco, just for good measure. She may have overdone it in her rush to appease Jewish voters and the lobby at large though: later she was forced to apologise to the Muslim community, assuring them that she didn't mean to offend anybody, it was 'just politics'.

Hillary the Zionist is about as fervently pro-Israel as they come. Hillary, like fellow Democrat Nancy Pelosi, is an AIPAC girl. She has a Jewish step-grandfather [source], and her voting record on pro-Israel issues is flawless. She believes that Jerusalem is the “indivisible eternal capital of Israel" and supports a proposal to move the US embassy there from Tel Aviv, despite the fact that East Jerusalem is occupied territory and belongs to the Palestinians. She supports the apartheid wall or "security fence" that snakes through Palestinian land, land which has been illegally confiscated from Palestinian ownership, effectively making the day-to-day lives of West Bank Palestinians a living nightmare by dividing the land and separating towns and families. The wall violates international law, something Hillary is "deeply disappointed" about. That is to say, she's disappointed in the law, not the illegal wall. In her own words, she has "taken the International Court of Justice to task for questioning Israel's right to build the fence." In Hillary's callous opinion, the wall "is not against the Palestinian people," but "against the terrorists," which demonstrates how little she knows about Palestine, or how little she cares. Hillary has visited Israel more than six times [source], but since most congressional visits are funded and arranged by AIPAC's sister organisation, the American Israel Education Foundation (AIEF), she's been thoroughly brainwashed and conditioned over the years to be sympathetic to the Israeli position, which may have played a part in making her the Zionist she is today. From an article by former United States Senator Jim Abourezk:

These trips are defended as “educational.” In reality, as I know from my many colleagues in the House and Senate who participated in them, they offer Israeli propagandists an opportunity to expose members of Congress to only their side of the story. The Israeli narrative of how the nation was created, and Israeli justifications for its brutal policies omit important truths about the Israeli takeover and occupation of the Palestinian territories.

What the pro-Israel lobby reaps for its investment in these tours is congressional support for Israeli desires. For years, Israel has relied on billions of dollars in US taxpayer money. Shutting off this government funding would seriously impair Israel’s harsh occupation.

One wonders what policies Congress might support toward Israel and the Palestinians absent the distorting influence of these Israel trips - or if more members toured Palestinian lands.

Last year Hillary lashed out at the Palestinians by claiming that the PA was using "hate-filled" textbooks with which to teach Palestinian school kids. The only problem with that claim is that it wasn't true. The source of the allegations was a hardcore Zionist propaganda outfit with ulterior motives called the Center for the Monitoring of the Impact of Peace (CMIP), led by an associate of arch-Zionist Lukidnik Benjamin Netanyahu. Outraged that the Palestinians might be teaching their kids to hate Jews, Nathan Brown, Professor of Political Science and International Relations at George Washington University, looked into the matter and found that the claims were almost totally unfounded:

"[W]here do persistent reports of incitement in Palestinian textbooks come from? Virtually all can be traced back to the work of a single organization, the "Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace." The Center claims that its purpose is "to encourage the development and fostering of peaceful relations between peoples and nations, by establishing a climate of tolerance and mutual respect founded on the rejection of violence as a means to resolving conflicts". Critics charge that the Center’s real purpose is to launch attacks on the Palestinian National Authority, and it would be difficult to contest such a conclusion... The Center’s own reports suggest such suspicions are well-founded ... the purpose is clearly to indict the textbooks and the PNA rather than analyze and understand the content of the books."

There's much more to that story: you can read an excellent debunking of the "hate-filled" textbooks claims at Lawrence of Cyberia, but in instances like this, the truth is only a quiet follow-up to the deafeningly loud propaganda circus that precedes it, and has no chance of undoing the damage done once the Zionist media decides to make a public issue out of complete falsehoods. Of course, Hillary continues to be hailed as a "leading voice against antisemitism" for her efforts. Good job, Hillary. In any case, the true Semites of Palestine are totally justified in teaching their children that Zionism is the enemy and that Israel has no right to exist on their land, but Hillary the Zionist doesn't think so. Hillary will stand with the Israelis all the way, and will not force Israel's hand to act justly on the Palestinian issue as president of the United States. Most of what you need to know about Hillary's position on Israel is here.

In her May 24, 2005 speech to AIPAC, Hillary said, "Israel is not only, however, a friend and ally for us, it is a beacon of what democracy can and should mean." Now that one's a crack-up. Israel is a racist, apartheid, exclusivist Jewish state that treats its Palestinian population like cattle, denies them equal rights and (joyfully) tortures and slaughters them - not exactly what a democracy "can and should mean." If Israel is Hillary's idea of a democratic utopia, I hate to think what she'll do to America as the next US prez, and to the world, for that matter.

When Americans go to vote in November 2008, they'll have a 'choice' between Democrat and Republican, probably Hillary and McCain. The Bush regime has totally stuffed it for the Republican party, so it's a safe bet that the Democratic candidate will win. The Democratic candidate will be Hillary. The American people don't like where their nation is headed and they're sick of war. They want change, and Hillary represents that change. The only problem is, Hillary won't be the change they're looking for.

Hillary's campaign committee is a recycled offering of the usual suspects, the same old CFR Zionists that have been here all along and that together constitute exactly what America doesn't need right now. Hillary belongs to AIPAC, the CFR, the MIC, and the rest of the Zionist elite, and will repackage the status quo and sell it to the American people as 'change'. Despite Bush's massive increases in military spending, Hillary believes it's not enough. Hillary the Hawk beats the war drums for a strike on Iran even harder than Bush does, and has even criticised him for being 'soft on Iran'. Along with the other Democratic 'front-runners' like Obama and Edwards she insists that "no option can be taken off the table", scaring the shit out of us all with the spectre of nuclear war, but unlike her colleagues, she was the only Democratic candidate to vote in favor of a resolution to declare Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps a "terrorist organisation", a stunningly ridiculous notion. She voted in favor of the Iraq war, refuses to acknowledge that it was a mistake, and doesn't support a full withdrawal from Iraq:

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton foresees a “remaining military as well as political mission” in Iraq, and says that if elected president, she would keep a reduced military force there to fight Al Qaeda, deter Iranian aggression, protect the Kurds and possibly support the Iraqi military.

She said ... that there were “remaining vital national security interests in Iraq” that would require a continuing deployment of American troops.

The United States’ security would be undermined if parts of Iraq turned into a failed state “that serves as a petri dish for insurgents and Al Qaeda,” she said. “It is right in the heart of the oil region,” she said. “It is directly in opposition to our interests, to the interests of regimes, to Israel’s interests.”

Ah, of course, Israel's interests. I forgot about Israel for a second there. Maybe it's time we forget about Israel's interests, since it was Israel that got us there in the first place.

A recent (February 8, 2008) article from the Sydney Morning Herald tells us that which is already blatantly obvious: that 'Hillary has won the tacit support of the Israeli establishment.' It reports that Danny Filc, a political scientist at Ben-Gurion University, believes that the majority of Israelis would like to see Hillary take the presidency, and Gabriel Sheffer, Professor of Political Science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem says the Israeli government probably feels the same way:

"Nobody will say anything openly, for diplomatic reasons, but I'd assume that the Israeli Government would like to see the general election being fought between John McCain and Hillary Clinton, rather than McCain and Barack Obama, and I think of those two they'd prefer Clinton."

The Palestinians know who runs the show in Washington. Again, from the article:

Mustafa Barghouti, an independent Palestinian politician, said he believed whoever won the US election, the power of the Israel lobby would ensure that US policy was largely unchanged.

Hillary brings no answers to the table, only frightening "options". She has nothing to offer except more of the same, and maybe worse. People who cross the Clintons have a strange tendency to wind up dead, and we could be next, after most of the population of Iran, that is. Everyone that matters is backing Hillary Clinton in this race, and by all indications, she will be the next president of the United States.

Gitmo Suicides an 'Act of Terrorism'

2008-01-09T18:15:00.002+09:00

Whenever people resist occupation, whether it be in Iraq or Palestine, they are labeled "terrorists". The government and the media have created a backward Orwellian vernacular with which to deliver us our daily diet of propaganda and bullshit. The new 'mediaspeak' is a euphemistic language of emotionally sterile platitudes. Civilian resistance to occupation = 'insurgency'; killing civilans = 'collateral damage', and so on. And as evidenced by this NYTimes article, giving up on life due to torture, fatigue and lack of hope is just another act of Muslim terrorism. This is what Rear Admiral Harry B. Harris Jr., the commander of the detention camp at Guantánamo, told reporters in a news conference when 3 of his inmates hanged themselves:

"They are smart, they are creative, they are committed," Admiral Harris said. "They have no regard for life, neither ours nor their own. I believe this was not an act of desperation, but an act of asymmetrical warfare waged against us."

Ahem. In another case, an associate of mine recalls a radio interview in which a US military official describes the suicide of a Gitmo inmate as an "emotional act of terrorism and blackmailing". A suicide attack minus the actual attack. Don't pity the filthy Muslims, they're just trying to harm us emotionally.

Here's another surreally ridiculous excerpt from a Telegraph article about the same incident:

America has denounced as "a good PR move" the suicides of three terrorism suspects at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp.

The comment was made by Colleen Graffy, a senior State Department spokesman, who told the BBC World Service that the suicides were "a tactic to further the jihadi cause".

Amnesty International was slightly more in touch with reality, describing the suicides as "the tragic results of years of arbitrary and indefinite detention", and the Center for Constitutional Rights said the Gitmo detainees suffered an "incredible level of despair that they will never get justice". The despair of other inmates was jacked up a notch as a result of the deaths though: the solution was to take their bedding away during the day and force-feed them to prevent hunger strikes. What a morale-booster.

The "war on terror" is the war on resistance - that's the resistance of the Iraqi people, the resistance of the true Semites of Palestine, and our resistance to the loss of our freedoms, fast-tracked by legislation like the Orwellian-named "Patriot Act", which of course was justified by the false flag attacks of 9/11 carried out by the CIA and Mossad.

"Why would Iraq attack America or use nuclear weapons against us? I'll tell you what I think the real threat [is] and actually has been since 1990 - it's the threat against Israel."

Philip Zelikow, Director of the 9/11 Commission and Bush administration official

'War for oil' is still the majority consensus on what's really behind America's insatiable appetite for military adventurism in the Middle East. [1] Anti-war types in the U.S. and worldwide favor this explanation as the real reason for the American-led invasion of Iraq. Those that subscribe to the war-for-oil idea believe that the White House is acting under false pretenses to secure Iraq's oil reserves in the long term strategic interests of an aggressive and imperialistic America, or to benefit corporate interests. [2] [3]

Evidence of the predominance of the oil idea is reflected in the phrase itself. 'War for oil' has become part of the Western lexicon, a word sequence that everyone has heard and recognises, just like other familiar expressions such as 'tit for tat', 'spill the beans' or 'spank the monkey'. The 'no blood for oil' slogan [4] will go down in history as the defining sentiment of the anti-war scene of the noughties, testament to the widespread acceptance of the war-for-oil meme.

There are other ideas about the American leadership's reasons for involving itself in such insanity. One is the ridiculous notion touted by the government and its media mouthpieces that America's prime objective is to export to the rest of the world what it sees as its unique contribution to human culture - liberty, freedom and democracy [5] [6]. Those things are core, defining ideologies central to America's deluded impression of itself, and the popular appeal of the idea of America being the heroic and righteous savior of the rest of the world has long been understood and cleverly marketed by political ideologues and the mainstream media. The American public's arrogant sense of moral and cultural superiority is easily exploited by government, as evidenced by the small but significant minority of Americans that happily accept Bush's 'they hate our freedoms' bullshit [7] [8] as justification for full-scale military invasions of harmless, sovereign nations like Afghanistan and Iraq. 'Spreading freedom' is the Bush administration's Orwellian euphemism for all-out war against Islam and the Arab nations that are said to harbor the elusive, jealous, Muslim "terrorists" that don't like how 'free' they say we are. The "war on terror" is ostensibly our struggle for freedom and democracy, an epic fight between good and evil. It's a romantic idea, conducive to a patriotic belief in America as the great purveyor of righteousness and justice, but it's the weakest, least credible and most unconvincing justification of all, and nothing but a lame subterfuge [9] [10].

The pervasive influence of corporate interests operating within and throughout the highest levels of the United States government [11] could conceivably explain its penchant for warmongering and conquest too, and is commonly used to explain America's addiction to war. The corporatocracy [12] model is much the same as the war-for-oil idea, but includes the huge military industrial complex, building contractors, and other corporate interests that benefit financially from war [13]. Under this world-view today's post-9/11 culture of militarism is all about government succumbing to pressure from industry, and about U.S. imperialism in the form of military-industrial conquest and economic exploitation of lesser developed countries (who tend not to cooperate until they've been bombed into a stupour), as the huge corporations that profit from war get filthy rich. It's all explained by the lust for money, profit and power of a greedy corporate elite that hold sway over government, or even hold positions in government and business simultaneously, creating dangerous conflicts of interest which result in warped policy and the kind of insanity we're seeing now [14] [15]. For the sake of expediency and in the interests of keeping it simple, when I speak of corporate interests in this context, I'm not including the private central banking cartel [16] [17].

Those are the main ones and the ones worth mentioning, but none of them are really behind what's going on in the Middle East, at least not in any real, fundamentally causal way. They're all real factors, and evidence that all those things play major roles is easy to come by, and maybe even difficult to look past at times. But the real force behind the U.S. government and its insane hunger for war in the Middle East is Israel - Israel itself and the zionist regime behind it; zionist agents inside the US political system who represent Israel's interests and work to further them via lobbying, funding and other means; and those who work to realise the objectives of Israel from within the highest levels of US government and beyond, even to the extreme detriment of the U.S. itself, as American leaders and policy-makers, and as representatives of the American people. The so-called neo-conservatives are the most powerful and obvious example of the latter, and their rise to power was, in many ways, the final phase of the Israeli coup d'etat [18] [19].

The Ziocons

The American neocons (most of them Jewish, many of them Israeli 'dual nationals', and all of them ardent zionists) [20] [21] are openly loyal to Israel and their hawkish foreign policy reflects it. U.S. foreign policy under the neocons is barely distinguishable from Israeli foreign policy, because that's basically what it is [22] [23]. Israel has long sought to weaken and destabilise its Arab neighbors as a means to improve and ensure its own security [24] while simultaneously disrupting support given to the indigenous Palestinians by Arab groups and nations sympathetic to their cause. In The Israeli Origins of Bush II's War Stephen J. Sniegoski writes:

Because Israel's neighbors opposed the Zionist project of creating an exclusivist Jewish state, the idea of weakening and dissolving those neighbors was not an idea just of the Israeli Right but a central Zionist goal from a much earlier period, promoted by David Ben-Gurion himself. As Saleh Abdel-Jawwad, a professor at Birzeit University in Ramallah, Palestine, writes:

"Israel has supported secessionist movements in Sudan, Iraq, Egypt, and Lebanon and any secessionist movements in the Arab world which Israel considers an enemy. Yet the concern for Iraq and [Israel's] attempts to weaken or prevent it from developing its strengths has always been a central Zionist objective. At times, Israel succeeded in gaining a foothold in Iraq by forging secret yet strong relationships with leaders from the Kurdish movement." [25]

It's by no coincidence that we're seeing the U.S. use the same modus operandi right now in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Iran. Thanks to a well-established network of powerful Jewish Bush administration executives and the Israel lobby at large, the Zionist agenda has become America's agenda, and the new preemptive war-for-Israel doctrine of post-9/11 USA has become official American policy.

The ziocons made their policy views clear well before 9/11 in the document called A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm [26], prepared back in 1996 for Israel's psycho right wing Likud party, led by then Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu. It was authored by a group of rabidly zionist neoconservative Jews including Richard Perle, Douglas Feith and David Wurmser, on behalf of The Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies (IASPS), and proposed a hawkish plan based on military preemption, a more aggressive approach to the Palestinian 'problem', the removal of Saddam Hussein from power, and the eventual elimination of the governments of Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Iran - the kind of ideas that only sit well in the minds of madmen and belligerent Jewish supremacists. A Clean Break stated, in part:

Israel can shape its strategic environment, in cooperation with Turkey and Jordan, by weakening, containing, and even rolling back Syria. This effort can focus on removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq — an important Israeli strategic objective in its own right — as a means of foiling Syria’s regional ambitions.

There was nothing new in the Clean Break paper, it was just good old fashioned zionism: territorial expansion by force in the name of a 'Greater Israel'. Its authors, Richard Perle (Israeli dual national), Douglas Feith (also an Israeli dual national) and David Wurmser (another zionist Jew) would all go on to hold powerful positions in the Bush administration where they've worked tirelessly to realise the vision they outlined for Netanyahu in the Clean Break document [27] - Feith as Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, Wurmser as Middle East Adviser to Dick Cheney, and Perle as Chairman of the Defense Policy Board.

Richard "The Prince of Darkness" Perle is a particularly nasty zionist. Aside from his treasonous role in the U.S. government, he's a member of such pro-Israel think tanks as the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) , the Center for Security Policy (CSP), the Hudson Institute, the Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP, which is basically an offshoot organisation of AIPAC), and the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) [28]. He's also a director of the Jerusalem Post, a personal friend of former Israeli prime minister and arch-zionist Ariel "The Butcher" Sharon, an ex-employee of Soltam, an Israeli weapons manufacturer [29], and a spy for Israel [30] [30b].

When prominent ziocons William Kristol and Robert Kagan founded the Project For A New American Century (PNAC) [31] in 1997, Perle and Feith were keen to come to the party along with a whole host of other ardent zionist neocons such as Elliott Abrams, Paul Wolfowitz, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Rabbi Dov Zakheim, Elliot Cohen, Norman Podhoretz et al [32], and the following year in 1998, the PNAC group sent Bill Clinton a letter [33] urging him to attack Iraq and oust Saddam from power, in keeping with the policy advice given to Israel by the same group years earlier in the Clean Break document. From the letter:

"It hardly needs to be added that if Saddam does acquire the capability to deliver weapons of mass destruction, as he is almost certain to do if we continue along the present course, the safety of American troops in the region, of our friends and allies like Israel and the moderate Arab states, and a significant portion of the world’s supply of oil will all be put at hazard. As you have rightly declared, Mr. President, the security of the world in the first part of the 21st century will be determined largely by how we handle this threat." [34]

By "world", of course, they meant "Israel", since Saddam was never a threat to America, and PNAC knew it. In December of 1998, Clinton went ahead with PNAC's advice and heavily bombed Iraq, citing the security of its neighbours as part of his reason for doing so:

"Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.

Their purpose is to protect the national interest of the United States, and indeed the interests of people throughout the Middle East and around the world.

Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons." [35]

Clinton's attack on Iraq left Saddam in power though, which wasn't good enough for the PNAC ziocons. That was made Kristol clear with the September 2000 publication (just before Bush's non-election) of their infamous 90 page long 'Rebuilding America's Defenses' (RAD) policy document [36.pdf], in which they advocated more of the same aggressive, warmongering strategy proposed earlier in the Clean Break paper. RAD was just a massively beefed up version of Israel's Clean Break dressed up to look as though it had American interests at heart. Peter Shaenk put it this way in an article called Once a Company Man, Always a Company Man:

When PNAC was founded, a group of neo-cons wrote a spin-off paper elaborating on "Clean Break". It was entitled "Rebuilding America’s Defenses" or RAD. The title implies that agents of Israel, (Perle and co.) got together and wrote a policy paper that was concerned only with America’s future security and establishment as the preeminent world power. A PAX Americana if you will. They even got Dick Cheney to participate to give it a more "American" look and less of an "Israeli" front group image. [37]

When Bush was not-elected in January 2001 [38], the ziocons' time had come. No less than twelve of PNAC's members scored prominent positions in his administration - Dick Cheney, Vice President; Paul Wolfowitz, Deputy Secretary of Defense; Rabbi Dov Zakheim, Undersecretary of Defense and Comptroller of the Pentagon [39]; Richard Armitage, Deputy Sec. of State; Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Chief of Staff to Cheney; Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense; Richard Perle, Member, Defense Policy Advisory Board; John Bolton, Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security, Elliot Abrams, Special Asst. to the President; Douglas Feith, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy; Zalmay Kahlilzad, Special Envoy to Afghanistan and Iraq; and James Woolsey, Member, Pentagon Defense Policy Board [40]. It was nothing short of an Israeli political takeover of the U.S. government. The pieces had been put in place to implement the ziocon vision outlined in A Clean Break and RAD, and now all that was needed was the false flag attacks of 9/11 [41] [42] [43] to kickstart and justify the neocon wet dream of endless Israeli proxy wars in the Middle East in the name of the oxymoronic "war on terror".

Within 24 hours of staging their "catastrophic and catalyzing event" which was not unlike a "new Pearl Harbor", both Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz, barely able to contain themselves, called for another attack on Iraq [44], nevermind the fact that Saddam had nothing at all to do with it and no meaningful ties at all to 9/11 scapegoat Osama Bin Laden [45]. That didn't stop the ziocons from working feverishly through the media to link Iraq to 9/11 though (the tired old "links-to-Al-Qaeda" soundbite), mainly through Cheney who was the most vociferous of the bunch. But (dis)credit should also go to Rumsfeld, because one of the biggest whoppers came from him in September 2002 when he lied through his teeth about the intelligence community's evidence of Iraqi links to terrorism being "bulletproof" [46]. (Speaking of Cheney, fondnesses for violence, and solid evidence, it's a pity Harry Whittington wasn't "bulletproof" when Dick shot him in the face. [47]) The ziocon media blitz was quite successful, as evidenced by the roughly 50% of Americans that still believe Saddam Hussein was in cahoots with Bin Laden vis a vis 9/11 [48]. With a public that ignorant and misinformed [49], it's disheartening to ponder how long it's likely to take before a critical mass majority awakens to the fact that Bin Laden wasn't behind the attacks in the first place.

War For Israel

The relentless propaganda campaign against Iraq continued through the zionist-controlled mainstream media [50] even as the cluster-bombs dropped on the innocent population of Afghanistan [51] [52], in a war justified by the attacks of 9/11 but planned months beforehand [53]. The ostensible reasons for the invasion were to capture Osama Bin Laden, who denied being involved with 9/11 [54], and to overthrow the Taliban regime, but neither of those objectives have been achieved [55]. All the U.S. has managed to do is install an ineffectual puppet regime led by prime minister Hamid Kharzai, assist in a 657% increase in opium cultivation [56] which became the West's primary source of heroin [57] [58], and kill thousands of innocent people. Last year alone, an estimated 700 civilians were killed (government data, so the figures are likely to be much higher), and over 100,000 people displaced in the southern provinces alone, who have fled their homes to escape the conflict [59].

Another thing that's been achieved is what's looking like a permanent U.S. military presence in Afghanistan [60], one of whose neighbouring countries is Iran. Rabid zionist John McCain [61] is one neocon who has called publicly for permanent bases in Afghanistan [62]. Ramtanu Maitra wrote for Asia Times Online:

On February 23 [2005], the day after McCain called for "permanent bases" in Afghanistan, a senior political analyst and chief editor of the Kabul Journal, Mohammad Hassan Wulasmal, said, "The US wants to dominate Iran, Uzbekistan and China by using Afghanistan as a military base."

[...] US-run logistical centers in Afghanistan include Kandahar Air Field, or "KAF", in southern Afghanistan and Shindand Air Field in the western province of Herat. Shindand is about 100 kilometers from the border with Iran, a location that makes it controversial. Moreover, according to the US-based think-tank Global Security, Shindand is the largest air base in Afghanistan.

The US is spending US$83 million to upgrade its bases at Bagram and Kandahar. [...]

The proximity of Shindand to Iran could give Tehran cause for concern, says Paul Beaver, an independent defense analyst based in London. Beaver points out that with US ships in the Persian Gulf and Shindand sitting next to Iran, Tehran has a reason to claim that Washington is in the process of encircling Iran. But the US plays down the potential of Shindand, saying it will not remain with the US for long. Still, it has not been lost on Iranian strategists that the base in the province of Herat is a link in a formidable chain of new facilities the US is in the process of drawing around their country. [63]

The ziocons are working hard to establish hegemony in the Middle East for the security of Israel, and permanent bases in Afghanistan are just one way they seek to gain a foothold for the eventual implementation of their plan to eliminate Iran and whoever else they believe poses a threat to their beloved ziostan.

On the 3rd of April 2002, seizing the opportunity to capitalise on the 9/11 attacks, the PNAC neocons sent another letter, this time to Bush, urging him to support Israel and wage war with Iraq:

Dear Mr. President:

We write to thank you for your courageous leadership in the war on terrorism and to offer our full support as you continue to protect the security and well-being of Americans and all freedom-loving peoples around the world.

In particular, we want to commend you for your strong stance in support of the Israeli government as it engages in the present campaign to fight terrorism. As a liberal democracy under repeated attack by murderers who target civilians, Israel now needs and deserves steadfast support. This support, moreover, is essential to Israel’s continued survival as a free and democratic nation, for only the United States has the power and influence to provide meaningful assistance to our besieged ally. And with the memory of the terrorist attack of September 11 still seared in our minds and hearts, we Americans ought to be especially eager to show our solidarity in word and deed with a fellow victim of terrorist violence.

No one should doubt that the United States and Israel share a common enemy. We are both targets of what you have correctly called an “Axis of Evil.” Israel is targeted in part because it is our friend, and in part because it is an island of liberal, democratic principles -- American principles -- in a sea of tyranny, intolerance, and hatred. As Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld has pointed out, Iran, Iraq, and Syria are all engaged in “inspiring and financing a culture of political murder and suicide bombing” against Israel, just as they have aided campaigns of terrorism against the United States over the past two decades. You have declared war on international terrorism, Mr. President. Israel is fighting the same war.

[...]

Furthermore, Mr. President, we urge you to accelerate plans for removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq. As you have said, every day that Saddam Hussein remains in power brings closer the day when terrorists will have not just airplanes with which to attack us, but chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons, as well. It is now common knowledge that Saddam, along with Iran, is a funder and supporter of terrorism against Israel. Iraq has harbored terrorists such as Abu Nidal in the past, and it maintains links to the Al Qaeda network. If we do not move against Saddam Hussein and his regime, the damage our Israeli friends and we have suffered until now may someday appear but a prelude to much greater horrors. Moreover, we believe that the surest path to peace in the Middle East lies not through the appeasement of Saddam and other local tyrants, but through a renewed commitment on our part, as you suggested in your State of the Union address, to the birth of freedom and democratic government in the Islamic world.

[...]

Israel’s fight against terrorism is our fight. Israel’s victory is an important part of our victory. For reasons both moral and strategic, we need to stand with Israel in its fight against terrorism.

In concert with their American counterparts, the Israeli political elite were heavily promoting the same war agenda, as noted by accomplished journalist and editor Dr. Scott McConnell:

Netanyahu warned Washington Post editors of Saddam’s supposed nuclear-weapons program in April 2002, and Sharon’s spokesman Raanan Gissen touted the Saddam nuclear threat a week later. The following month, Shimon Peres said on CNN that Saddam was as “dangerous as Bin Laden” and told Americans they “cannot sit and wait.” Later that spring, Ehud Barak warned Washington Post readers to remove Saddam “first of all,” and in August, Sharon told the Knesset that Saddam was “the greatest danger facing Israel.” When Vice President Cheney kicked off the go-to-war campaign in August of that year, many newspapers reported that Israel was urging America not to delay. Peres repeated the “don’t delay” message on CNN later that month.

Meanwhile, American networks reported that “Israeli intelligence” was warning that Saddam was “speeding up” his WMD programs. In the run-up to the war, Prime Minister Sharon stated, “Strategic coordination between Israel and the U.S. has reached unprecedented dimensions.” In September, Barak told New York Times readers that the United States needed to hurry up with the war, adding, “I believe I speak for the overwhelming majority of Israelis in supporting a pre-emptive strike against Saddam’s regime.” In the winter of 2003, the press was full of reports of Israeli concern that diplomacy might delay the attacks. While mass antiwar protests broke out across Europe, there were none in Israel, where 77.5 percent of Israeli Jews said they wanted the United States to invade Iraq. The Israeli columnist Gideon Levy concluded, “Israel is the only country in the West whose leaders support the war unreservedly and where no alternative opinion is voiced.”

Further, he observes that:

When Israelis talk, Americans listen. When Israelis want to circulate their views, they have an access to the opinion pages of elite newspapers and slots on network news shows that leaders of no other foreign country can dream of. Several of America’s European and Arab allies objected cogently and clearly to the idea of attacking Iraq. If Israeli leaders had voiced similar sentiments, it is inconceivable the invasion would have taken place.

When the neocons got their way in March 2003 with the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, it was on the back of a whole heap of lies and disinformation. Paul Wolfowitz, Israeli dual national and "architect" of the Iraq war, had created in 2001 along with fellow ziocons Douglas Feith and Donald Rumsfeld the "Office of Special Plans" (OSP), an ultra-secretive group whose purpose, at least officially, was to "review" data gathered by various intelligence agencies vis a vis Saddam's 'links-to-Al-Qaeda', and later, when it became clear there were none, his being in possession of WMDs (which there were none of either). The OSP was answerable only to itself as an independent entity, subject to no Congressional oversight and not on the official government payroll [64], which afforded the ziocons the opportunity to tamper with the data and decide for themselves what did and did not constitute evidence against Saddam. Cheney was of course right in there too, conspiring with the rest of them to magically produce the kind of damning assessment required to suit their propaganda purposes, the kind they knew the CIA and the other intel agencies wouldn't provide them with. From a Washington Post article:

[Colin] Powell felt Cheney and his allies -- his chief aide, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby; Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz; and Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas J. Feith and what Powell called Feith's "Gestapo" office -- had established what amounted to a separate government. [65]

Working parallel and in conjunction with that operation in the Pentagon was the "Policy Counter Terrorism Evaluation Group" (PCTEG) [66], also headed by Douglas Feith, along with David Wurmser and one of Richard Perle's former aides, F. Michael Maloof. The whole thing was a gigantic scam, pulled off by the Clean Break/RAD crew, who liased regularly with an intelligence unit from inside the office of Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon. It was Sharon's team that was later fingered by unnamed U.S. senior officials as being the source of bogus reports that said the reason no WMDs were found in Iraq was because they were smuggled into Syria. Under the authority of Douglas Feith, the Israelis from Sharon's office were allowed to come and go as they pleased [67]. This is an excerpt from an article by Jim Lobe:

[Retired Lt Col Karen Kwiatkowski] recounts one incident in which she helped escort a group of half a dozen Israelis, including several generals, from the first floor reception area to Feith's office. "We just followed them, because they knew exactly where they were going and moving fast".

When the group arrived, she noted the book which all visitors are required to sign under special regulations that took effect after the Sep. 11, 2001 attacks. "I asked his secretary, 'Do you want these guys to sign in'? She said, 'No, these guys don't have to sign in' ". It occurred to her, she said, that the office may have deliberately not wanted to maintain a record of the meeting. [68]

At this point, let's be very clear about one thing: the people plotting the Iraq war from inside the OSP were not colluding with oil executives or any other corporate interests at that time - they were in collusion with Sharon's Likud government. In fact, everyone who worked to create the case for war against Iraq shared one common interest: an undying loyalty to the state of Israel.

Neocon lackey Ahmed Chalabi, the lying criminal [69] who was convicted and sentenced by the Jordanian authorities for embezzlement and bank fraud in his absence (he fled the country before the police got their hands on him), and who provided most of the information that the ziocons used as "evidence" of Saddam having 'links-to-Al-Qaeda' and WMDs [70], was a long-time friend of 10th Dan Grandmaster ziocon Richard Perle [71], co-author of A Clean Break which cited the removal of Saddam Hussein as the key to the beginning of a securer Israel;

The Niger documents [72] forged to make it look like Saddam's regime had tried to acquire yellowcake uranium from Africa came from Israeli dual national ziocon Michael Ledeen [73] [74] who came under the scrutiny of the FBI for that very reason but will probably (definitely) get away with it;

Paul Wolfowitz, "architect" of the Iraq war and the man who pushed hardest for it is an Israeli dual national and a spy for Israel, having forwarded to an Israeli government official a classified U.S. document back in 1978, and has a sister living in Israel; [75] From The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, a scholarly paper authored by Stephen Walt of Harvard University and John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago:

Wolfowitz is ... committed to Israel. The Forward once described him as "the most hawkishly pro‐Israel voice in the Administration," and selected him in 2002 as the first among fifty notables who "have consciously pursued Jewish activism." At about the same time, JINSA gave Wolfowitz its Henry M. Jackson Distinguished Service Award for promoting a strong partnership between Israel and the United States, and the Jerusalem Post, describing him as "devoutly pro‐Israel," named him "Man of the Year" in 2003. [76]

Not surprising, considering Richard Perle is director of it;

Lewis "Scooter" Libby, another OSP operative, Cheney's chief of staff, and Israeli dual national, credited with pushing Cheney to go public about Saddam's supposed ties to Al Qaeda and 9/11 and pushing Colin Powell to include the fake reports about Mohammed Atta's ties to Iraqi intelligence in his famous 2003 speech to the U.N. [77], was responsible for the outing of Valerie Plame as a CIA agent to punish her husband, Joseph Wilson, for exposing the Niger documents as fraudulent [78]. He was sentenced to 2 ½ years in prison but was later pardoned by Bush; [79]

Douglas Feith, dual citizenship ziocon who worked out of both the OSP and PCTEG to bring us the Iraq war was also investigated by the FBI for spying for Israel and forced to leave the National Security Council (NSC) for his double-dealing [80];

Larry Franklin, Feith's deputy who worked under him at the OSP in the Pentagon [81] was sentenced to more than 12 years in prison [82] for leaking documents to Israel in the AIPAC spy scandal; [83]

Harold Rhode [84], Feith's Middle East Specialist and Undersecretary of Defense for Policy was investigated by the FBI over passing on classified information to Israel:

An UPI report said another under-investigation official Mr Rhode "practically lived out of (Ahmad) Chalabi's office". Intelligence sources said that CIA operatives observed Mr Rhode as being constantly on his cell phone to Israel, discussing US plans, military deployments, political projects and a discussion of Iraq assets. [85]

William (or Bill) Luti [86], Chief of the OSP and another of Feith's men, having worked under Feith and Cheney before Bush wasn't elected, was subject to the same FBI investigation, for the same reason.

Thus, the casus belli for the Iraq war was put together by Israeli spies and zionist agents, and derived from what's come to be known as "Feith-based intelligence" [87], or in other words, complete bullshit from the bowels of the ziocon Lie Factory [88], served on the silver platter of mainstream media to the American public and the people of the world who swallowed it whole for Eretz Israel [89]. Even so, most of the treachery that led to the Iraq war will go unpunished. It's usually a pretty sure thing that if you're a senior official in the U.S. government and you're caught spying for Israel, your treason will be dealt with leniently, or not at all. From an article by Laura Rozen and Jason Vest:

Since the Pollard case [90], U.S. intelligence and law-enforcement sources have revealed to the Prospect that at least six sealed indictments have been issued against individuals for espionage on Israel's behalf. It's a testament to the unique relationship between the United States and Israel that those cases were never prosecuted; according to the same sources, both governments ultimately addressed them through diplomatic and intelligence channels rather than air the dirty laundry. A number of career Justice Department and intelligence officials who have worked on Israeli counterespionage told the Prospect of long-standing frustration among investigators and prosecutors who feel that cases that could have been made successfully against Israeli spies were never brought to trial, or that the investigations were shut down prematurely. [91]

More War For Israel: Iran In The Crosshairs

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which lobbies the U.S. government on behalf of Israel, was instrumental in pushing for the Iraq war. Its policy was to keep a low profile with regard to its public position on Iraq, but behind the scenes it was a very different story. Democratic congressman Jim Moran agrees:

"AIPAC is the most powerful lobby and has pushed this war from the beginning. Because they are so well organized, and their members are extraordinarily powerful -- most of them are quite wealthy -- they have been able to exert power." [92]

Documents leaked to Israel by the aforementioned criminal zionist cabal member Larry Franklin went through two employees of AIPAC, Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman, who are now awaiting trial over charges relating to violating provisions of the Espionage Act. [93]. Franklin is a former Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) analyst who moved into the Pentagon to work for Bull Luti and Douglas Feith as their Iran expert, and while he's apparently not Jewish, he's long been associated with the ziocons and a good friend of Paul Wolfowitz. The documents he passed on to Rosen and Weissman, the AIPAC staffers, included a National Security Presidential Directive (NSPD), concerning U.S. policy toward Iran [94] [95]. James Petras says in his article, AIPAC on Trial:

The Franklin-AIPAC-Israeli investigation was more than a spy case. It involved the future of US-Middle East relations and more specifically whether the "neo-cons" would be able to push the US into a military confrontation with Iran. Franklin was a top Pentagon analyst on Iran, with access to all the executive branch deliberations on Iran. AIPAC lobbying and information gathering was aggressively directed toward pushing the Israeli agenda on a US-Iranian confrontation against strong opposition in the State Department, CIA, military intelligence and field commanders. [96]

The notion of attacking Iran and ideas about how to go about it were being bandied about in the Office of Special Plans since its very inception, but the ziocons had put too much on the U.S. public's plate with Iraq and Afghanistan. Now, all indications are that they're finally ready to try to push us into a war with Iran [97] [98] [99], in keeping with the plan they've had in mind all along; the plan to reorder the Middle East as outlined in A Clean Break with what Juan Cole [100] called a "one-two punch":

It is an echo of the one-two punch secretly planned by the pro-Likud faction in the Department of Defense. First, the United States would take out Iraq, and then Iran. David Wurmser, a key member of the group, also wanted Syria included. These pro-Likud intellectuals concluded that 9/11 would give them carte blanche to use the Pentagon as Israel's Gurkha regiment, fighting elective wars on behalf of Tel Aviv (not wars that really needed to be fought, but wars that the Likud coalition thought it would be nice to see fought so as to increase Israel's ability to annex land and act aggressively, especially if someone else's boys did the dying). [101]

What's being called the "Iran Group" or the Iranian Directorate was set up last year in the Pentagon to manage the Iranian 'threat'. It's looking very much like the old OSP, which was dismantled once its job of putting together the massive 'links-to-Al-Qaeda'/WMD disinfo campaign was complete and the Iraq war underway. Some of the same people who worked with the OSP and/or had a hand in lying us into the Iraq war are now working at the Iranian Directorate. Here are just a few:

Abram N. Shulsky, heads the Iranian Directorate, former OSP director, a member of PNAC, and an ardent devotee of Jewish neo-conservative icon Leo Strauss [102], who believed that the truth was for the elite to keep from the clueless masses for their own (not so) good. In a 1999 paper he co-authored with Gary Schmitt of the AEI called Leo Strauss and the World of Intelligence, Shulsky writes

"Strauss's view certainly alerts one to the possibility that political life may be closely linked to deception. Indeed, it suggests that deception is the norm in political life, and the hope, to say nothing of the expectation, of establishing a politics that can dispense with it is the exception." [103]

John Trigilio, a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) analyst and former OSP staffer;

Ladan Archin, an Iran specialist, OSP staffer who worked with Larry Franklin and the other zio-spies, studied with Paul Wolfowitz; [104] [105]

Elliot Abrams, Israeli dual national and son-in-law of arch-neocon Norman Podhoretz, founding member of PNAC, convicted on charges relating to the Iran Contra scandal, worked with Perle and Feith since the mid-70's; [106]

Michael Ledeen, Israeli dual national, OSP ziocon, most likely candidate for culpability in the Niger document forgery;

David Wurmser, wrote the Clean Break paper along with Perle and Feith, accused of spying for Israel, connected to the outing of Valerie Plame, etc etc.

So it's all happening again - a feverish campaign for war being staged by the same PNAC/Clean Break/Iraq war/9-11 zionists that got us into the mess we're in now. All of those people helped sell us the Iraq war, but of course there are many more shady characters involved than the ones listed above - Dick Cheney's still there, for instance. A media blitz is currently underway to sensationalise Iran's perfectly legitimate [107] nuclear development program, proliferate dubious claims [108] about Iranian weapons being smuggled into Iraq, and demonise president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad [109], all sourced from information coming out of the Iran Group set up to make a new case for war by manipulating, cherry-picking, and fabricating intelligence [110] [110b], set up in the policy shop area of the Pentagon which housed its predecessor, the OSP [111].

Dying For Zion

When asked by reporters about civilian deaths during the Afghanistan campaign, General Tommy Franks said "we don't do body counts". Thankfully, others do.

The official death toll total for U.S. soldiers and civilians (government stats as of October 16, 2007 [112.pdf] ) stands at 3,824 in Iraq and 446 in Afghanistan. The figure for those wounded and not returned to duty (WIA not RTD) within 72 hours stands at 12,672 for Iraq and 1,023 for Afghanistan. Military contractors are not included in those figures. There have been less British deaths, mainly due to the fact that there are less of them, and the Australian death toll is almost negligible, if there is such a thing as a negligible death toll - only two soldiers [113] and six contractors so far. [114]

Dahr Jamail quotes Dr. Evan Kanter, president elect of Physicians for Social Responsibility:

We know that the death tally in combat is more than 4,000, represented by the headstones we see around this hall. What we do not know is that these do not include suicides or post evacuation deaths induced by lethal wounds received in combat, nor even the deaths of over 1,000 private contractors. If we include all the wounded, the injured and the medically ill, we have a total of over 70,000, but the military intentionally camouflages and segregates the numbers in three categories that are extremely difficult to access.

At any rate, coalition casualties seem to be incredibly low compared to that of the other side. The respected British polling firm ORB released the results of their poll in September of 2007, showing that 22% of Iraqi households had lost a family member, which equates to more than 1.2 million dead Iraqis.

Given that from the 2005 census there are a total of 4,050,597 households this data suggests a total of 1,220,580 deaths since the invasion in 2003. Calculating the affect from the margin of error we believe that the range is a minimum of 733,158 to a maximum of 1,446,063. [115]

In February of 2007 a BBC poll came up with the figure of 17% for the same thing, so the findings roughly corroborate eachother. According to Professor Gilbert Burnham and Professor Les Roberts,

"There are now two polls and three scientific surveys all suggesting the official figures and media-based estimates in Iraq have missed 70-95% of all deaths. The evidence suggests that the extent of under-reporting by the media is only increasing with time." [116]

Dr Gideon Polya points out that even those figures are inaccurate, because they are the stats for violent deaths only and don't include the nonviolent deaths that have occurred as an indirect result of the invasions, such as the infant mortality rate amongst other things. She includes in her analysis U.N. agency data of excess non-violent post-invasion deaths, to reach a more accurate figure of the total human cost of military intervention in the Middle East.

The following analysis reveals that the total violent and non-violent post-invasion Iraqi excess deaths now total 1.5-2.0 million and that the total excess deaths in the Bush I and Bush II Asian Wars now total 8 million. Mainstream media ignoring of this horrendous, ongoing mass murdering of ethnically or culturally Semitic indigenous peoples amounts to near-comprehensive anti-Semitic Holocaust Denial. [117]

Eight million is a staggering figure if you think about it. That's about 850,000 more people than the current total population of Israel [118], which is, as the evidence suggests, the prime mover behind all this bloodshed in the first place - we're out there killing and dying for zion.

The U.S. oil industry strongly opposed the embargo on Iraq, because it kept them away from Iraqi oil and prevented them from doing business in that country, and when Bush took the presidency in 2001 they worked hard to lobby against the Iran-Libya Sanctions Act of 1996, signed by Bill Clinton [119] [120]. But of course, the ziocons, intent on war, would have none of it.

Furthermore, it simply doesn't make sense for a country to spend $300 million per day at a total cost of $1.2 trillion (and possibly as much as three trillion [121]) on wars that won't pay for themselves in oil. It does, however, make sense for treasonous pro-Israel zionists to hijack America and use its military might and the lives of its sons and daughters to secure a future for Israel. Of course, the fact that we're killing for Israel and dying for zion doesn't necessarily mean that it's not about oil - it just means it's not about America's oil.

Before 1948 when the state of Israel was created [122], there was an oil pipeline running from Iraq to Palestine, into the area now called Haifa in Israel, but when the zionists stole Palestine, Iraq re-routed the pipeline to Syria. Israel is a tiny little country with practically no oil resources of its own, and without oil, Israel ceases to exist. Israel's oil problem is another one of its "existential threats". Israel being Israel, the waspish, nasty, racist [124] little country that it is, it's not on good terms with its oil rich Arab neighbours, so it has to import oil from countries like Angola, Columbia and Mexico. It's for this reason, among others, that removing Saddam was a key strategic goal for Israel, because Israel would very much like to see the old pipeline from Iraq to Haifa reopened [125] [126]. From an April 2003 Guardian article:

Plans to build a pipeline to siphon oil from newly conquered Iraq to Israel are being discussed between Washington, Tel Aviv and potential future government figures in Baghdad.

The plan envisages the reconstruction of an old pipeline, inactive since the end of the British mandate in Palestine in 1948, when the flow from Iraq's northern oilfields to Palestine was re-directed to Syria.

Now, its resurrection would transform economic power in the region, bringing revenue to the new US-dominated Iraq, cutting out Syria and solving Israel's energy crisis at a stroke.

In light of all the available information and news reports about the Israeli government's keen interest in reopening the old pipeline, suddenly an illegal $3 trillion U.S. invasion of Iraq planned by fat, white collar, dual citizenship Israel-firsters in the U.S. executive branch, and fought by impressionable young British and American pawns to steal Iraq's national oil reserves makes sense. Theoretically it'll solve the ziostani oil crisis and make Israel more secure, without risking a single Israeli life. "Special relationship" indeed.

So as notable blogger and American patriot Qrswave points out: yes, the war is for oil, and the oil is for Israel [127]. Therefore, the war is for Israel - but you won't hear anything about it in the zionist-friendly mainstream media.

General Wesley Clark, former NATO Supreme Allied Commander admitted that the Iraq war was all about Israel in an interview with the Guardian in August of 2002:

"Those who favor this attack now will tell you candidly, and privately, that it is probably true that Saddam Hussein is no threat to the United States. But they are afraid at some point he might decide if he had a nuclear weapon to use it against Israel." [128]

Former U.S. Rep. John Hostettler spilt the beans in a self-published book entitled Nothing for the Nation: Who Got What Out of Iraq, claiming that Iraq was invaded to help secure Israel. He writes:

"It cannot be debated that toppling Saddam was accomplished by means of a 'private compact' with political appointees and their underlings in the Pentagon to support the ideals of partisans . . . dedicated to another cause."

The fact that Hostettler had to wait until retirement to reveal this information is testament to the power of the Israel lobby, which effectively forces politicians into self-censorship. You either voice your undying loyalty to Israel or forget about it.

Distinguished academics Stephen Walt [129] and John Mearsheimer [130] pointed it out in their paper, the aforementioned The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, which has now been expanded upon and turned into a book: [131]

Pressure from Israel and the Lobby was not the only factor behind the U.S. decision to attack Iraq in March 2003, but it was a critical element. Some Americans believe that this was a "war for oil," but there is hardly any direct evidence to support this claim. Instead, the war was motivated in good part by a desire to make Israel more secure. According to Philip Zelikow [132], a member of the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (2001‐2003), executive director of the 9/11 Commission, and now Counselor to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the "real threat" from Iraq was not a threat to the United States. The "unstated threat" was the "threat against Israel," Zelikow told a University of Virginia audience in September 2002, noting further that "the American government doesn’t want to lean too hard on it rhetorically, because it is not a popular sell." [133]

Mark Weber writes in his article Iraq: A War For Israel:

Whatever the secondary reasons for the war, the crucial factor in President Bush’s decision to attack was to help Israel. With support from Israel and America’s Jewish-Zionist lobby, and prodded by Jewish "neo-conservatives" holding high-level positions in his administration, President Bush – who was already fervently committed to Israel – resolved to invade and subdue one of Israel’s chief regional enemies.

This is so widely understood in Washington that US Senator Ernest Hollings was moved in May 2004 to acknowledge that the US invaded Iraq "to secure Israel," and "everybody" knows it. He also identified three of the influential pro-Israel Jews in Washington who played an important role in prodding the US into war: Richard Perle, chair of the Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board; Paul Wolfowitz, Deputy Defense Secretary; and Charles Krauthammer, columnist and author.

And further down:

In Britain, a veteran member of Britain’s House of Commons bluntly declared in May 2003 that Jews had taken control of America’s foreign policy, and had succeeded in pushing the US into war. "A Jewish cabal have taken over the government in the United States and formed an unholy alliance with fundamentalist Christians," said Tam Dalyell, a Labour party deputy and the longest-serving House member. "There is far too much Jewish influence in the United States," he added. [134]

What's unfortunate is that the idea of a zionist conspiracy and Jewish control of the government and media is seen to be an antisemitic cliche and therefore one of the most repugnant ideas imaginable, because nobody likes racism - but it's the absolute truth of the matter [135]. It's an awkward situation, but that's our predicament. The societal taboo of talking about these things, embedded into our cultural reality over the decades by zionist organisations like the ADL and other lobby groups has resulted in a human collective that largely self-regulates with regard to discussion about it, and some even regulate their own thinking of it. We have a situation whereby there are people who charge themselves with enlightening the rest of us with the truth, but feel as though it's necessary to compromise and censor themselves in order to make that task viable, and fit for mainstream consumption. The truth is that Jewish agents have been manipulating the U.S. into war (26 of the top 50 neocons who advocated for war with Iraq are Jewish), but those honest and conscientious enough to make it their message are seen to be peddling hate, being insensitive and holding extremist views. Too bad. When the truth is ugly and the problem extreme, taking anything less than an honest position is useless.

Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh was frank about Jewish influence in Washington in a recent interview with Amy Goodman:

SEYMOUR HERSH: Money. A lot of the Jewish money from New York. Come on, let's not kid about it. A significant percentage of Jewish money, and many leading American Jews support the Israeli position that Iran is an existential threat. And I think it’s as simple as that. When you’re from New York and from New York City, you take the view of -- right now, when you’re running a campaign, you follow that line. And there’s no other explanation for it, because [Hilary Clinton is] smart enough to know the downside.

AMY GOODMAN: And Obama and Edwards?

SEYMOUR HERSH: I -- you know, it’s shocking. It’s really surprising and shocking, but there we are. That’s American politics circa 2007. [136]

I don't hate Jews, or anybody else, but I despise zionism, because it's a racist ideology [137] and a threat to world peace. The natural desire to act in defense of your planet, your country, your family and your fellow human beings arises out of love, not hate. But given our predicament, those of us that call for a mass awakening to these uncomfortable truths will be chastised by a culture of fear and for the most part, misunderstood. The louder the message, the more intense the reactions from those that stand to lose by it. Personal attacks and smears from zionist factions with endless resources and the wrath of a complicit media is often the end for those who are really successful at getting the word out [138] [139] [140], but it's essential that we speak out, in order to put a stop to the insanity of endless war for Israel.

Larry Silverstein and 9/11

2007-09-17T10:30:00.018+08:00

All the evidence suggests that 9/11 was an Israeli false flag operation, carried out with the assistance of key individuals and elements within the United States by a Zionist elite. One of these individuals is Larry Silverstein, who purchased the 99 year lease on the World Trade Center complex in July 2001 and who oversaw control of the complex before and during the attacks, along with Australian real estate tycoon Frank Lowy of Westfield America. Silverstein and Lowy are good friends, and Silverstein has been a director of Lowy's Westfield America since May 1997. Silverstein is connected to the Zionist elite in Israel in numerous ways, most notably via his close association and friendship with no less than three former Israeli prime ministers, namely Benjamin Netanyahu, Ariel Sharon and Ehud Barak. Silverstein is especially close to Benjamin Netanyahu, father of the "war on terror" doctrine. According to Haaretz.com, "Many Israeli politicians are acquainted in one degree or another with the 70-year-old Silverstein." It's via these channels that Silverstein was uniquely placed to assist Israeli intelligence and the Zionist mafia in Israel and America with carrying out the 9/11 attacks.

As an American born Jew, Silverstein is an "ardent supporter" of the state of Israel and committed to Jewish causes. He was chairman of the board of the United Jewish Appeal (UJA) and remains on the Board of Directors, along with his wife, Klara, who is also a founding member of the Jewish Women's Foundation. His son, Roger, and his daughter, Lisa, are also UJA contributors. Roger Silverstein, director of leasing for WTC 7, serves on the executive committee of the Real Estate Executive Division of the UJA, and his daughter Lisa is co-chair of the UJA (source). According to its website, the UJA is the most successful local charity in the history of the United States, and over the last 60 years has raised more than $1 billion for the state of Israel.

Larry sits on the board of trustees for the Museum of Jewish Heritage, a "living memorial to the holocaust", and is on the "$500,000 and above" list of contributors (source). He's also contributed generously to the Jewish Children's Museum via Silverstein Properties, and is a supporter and benefactor of Tzivos Hashem, a Jewish children's organisation. He's a member of NYU's board of trustees, treasurer and trustee of the National Jewish Medical and Research Center, and according to an article by Christopher Bollyn, he also holds or held a senior position in the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) which has conducted spying operations in the United States for the Israeli government and works tirelessly on its behalf to silence any and all criticism of Israel and Israeli policy.

Silverstein has investments in Israel. In fact, in 1992 he co-founded the Israel Export Development Company (IEDC) which sought to facilitate safer investment in Israel. This article by Michael Collins Piper states that Newt Gingrich's wife was on IEDC's payroll in 1995:

In early 1995 the then-newly elected Republican House Speaker, Newt Gingrich, long a vocal advocate for Israel, gave a little-noticed speech in Washington before a gathering of military and intelligence officers calling for a Middle East policy that was, in his words, “designed to force the replacement of the current regime in Iran . . . the only long-range solution that makes any sense.”

That the then-de facto leader of the “opposition” Republican Party endorsed this policy was no real surprise since, at that time, Gingrich’s wife was being paid $2,500 a month by the Israel Export Development Company, an outfit which lured American companies out of the United States into a high-tech business park in Israel.

Marianne Gingrich was hired in '95 as Vice President for Business Development by Silverstein's IEDC, the same year her husband became speaker of the house. It was around that time that Newt Gingrich's foreign policy views became staunchly pro-Israel and opposed to Israel's perceived enemies, even to the point where he publicly called for the CIA to overthrow the Iranian government, as referred to by Piper in his article. That was well before 9/11, and his views haven't changed. His wife had no experience in international trade, and before that appointment she was an image consultant for BeautiControl Cosmetics (source), but of course, she denied it was a political payoff. From this Dec 1995 article:

According to an article by Connie Bruck in the New Yorker of Oct. 9, "IEDC is trying to win approval from the Israeli government to manage a free-trade zone, and the Israeli government is highly dependent on United States aid—something that Gingrich is in a position to affect." It is no coincidence that despite drastic budget-cutting this year, Congress has left aid to Israel intact.

Bruck Describes the IEDC as an offshoot of the Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies (IASPS), a hawkish arm of the pro-Israel lobby in the U.S.

The IEDC is indeed an offshoot organisation of the IASPS. This connects Silverstein to the think tank which produced the Clean Break policy document, authored for the Israeli government by neocons Richard Perle, Douglas Feith and David Wurmser.

Marianne Gingrich works closely with its president, Robert J. Loewenberg, who is also chairman of the board of the Koret Israel Economic Development Fund, which assigns interns to key congressional offices. According to Bruck, Loewenberg writes lengthy diatribes in the IASPS newsletter attacking the peace process, return of the Golan Heights to Syria, and "left-wing politicos and bureaucrats." He supports the immediate move of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, which Gingrich is asking Congress to endorse.

So Gingrich was staunchly supporting Silverstein's IEDC and its agenda, and the state of Israel in general, but his beauty consultant wife's employment as Vice President for Business Development was not a payoff, even though Silverstein told the The Wall Street Journal that Newt Gingrich was one of several members of congress who were lobbied to support his company's proposal. We'll call it a favor then.

Also worth mentioning here is the fact that BeautiControl is owned by Jewish billionaire Ronald Lauder of Estee Lauder fame, who as Chairman of the New York Council on Privatisation was the key individual responsible for privatising the World Trade Center just weeks before 9/11, putting it under the control of Silverstein and Lowy (see the Port Authority's July 24, 2001 press release on the "historic agreement" to privatise the WTC). Lauder is another committed Zionist, active in numerous Jewish-Zionist organisations including the Jewish National Fund, the World Jewish Congress and the ADL, and like Silverstein is a close friend of Likudnik Benjamin Netanyahu. Lauder also has investments in Israel and his daughter is married to Kevin Warsh, one of seven governors of the Federal Reserve. Lauder's friend, New York Governor George Pataki, was another key individual responsible for the privatisation of the WTC, and he and his wife Libby were both on Lauder's payroll. Like Lauder and Silverstein, Pataki is avidly pro-Israel, and so is his wife.

Silverstein's political views are supposedly "left-leaning", but he supported his friend Ariel Sharon of the extremist Likud Party in Israel's last election, which makes perfect sense in light of the fact that Larry is such good friends with Likudnik Bibi Netanyahu that they'd speak on the phone every Sunday (other reports say daily). At the time of publication of this Haaretz article he was "the largest private donor to Hillary Clinton", rabid supporter of Israel, which bought him "an open door to the office of the junior senator from New York". So if Silverstein's dollars go to Hillary in the next US election, that too will make perfect sense, given that she is the best "left leaning" candidate for Israel and supports the Zionist doctrine of regime change and endless war in the Middle East on Israel's behalf.

9/11

Larry Silverstein has received a lot of attention since 9/11, and his involvement has been well-documented. Four members of his staff were killed in the attacks, but as stated in the aforementioned Haaretz article, "he himself was saved only because a meeting he had scheduled that morning with officials of the Port Authority on the 88th floor of [WTC 1] was canceled at the last minute." He went to a doctor's appointment instead, and later stated "I had said to my wife, sweetheart, cancel my doctor's appointment. I have so much to do at the Trade Center... She got very upset and told me I had to go. As it turns out, that saved my life." Lucky Larry Silverstein. His son Roger and his daughter Lisa were also "running late" for work at the WTC on the day of the attacks. One of George W's 9/11 connections is via Silverstein's hiring of Securacom (now Stratasec) for the management of electronic security of the WTC complex. The president's brother, Marvin Bush, was on Securacom's board of directors (1993-June 2000), and his cousin (?), Wirt Walker III, was CEO. Securacom was also responsible for the security of United Airlines Inc and Dulles International airport at the time, which both had starring roles in the 9/11 attacks. The other security company servicing the airports used on 9/11 was the Israeli-owned ICTS, predominantly staffed by Israeli ex-Shin Bet officers.

Former UJA board member and Israel-firster Lewis M. Eisenberg further connected that organisation to the events of 9/11 by overseeing the lease negotiation that led to Silverstein and Lowy acquiring control of the WTC complex. Eisenberg was chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey at the time, and delivered his UJA friends the WTC despite their bid being lower than that of Vornado Realty Trust, which pulled out after its failed attempt at negotiations with Eisenberg. Eisenberg is also a board member of the Republican Jewish Coalition and served on the National Board of Directors for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

But perhaps the most incriminating piece of evidence against Larry Silverstein was offered up by himself in his famous interview with PBS for a documentary called "America Rebuilds". What he says is with reference to WTC 7, which collapsed without having been hit by a plane and which he owned prior to taking out the lease of the WTC complex.

"I remember getting a call from the...er...fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, 'We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.' And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse."

"Pull" or "pull it" is established demolition jargon used in the industry, but Silverstein tried to back out of his Freudian slip thusly, through a spokesman for Silverstein Properties:

"The Commander told Mr. Silverstein that there were several firefighters in the building working to contain the fires. Mr. Silverstein expressed his view that the most important thing was to protect the safety of those firefighters, including, if necessary, to have them withdraw from the building."

So by "pull it" he meant "withdraw [the firefighters] from the building"? Not likely. According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Assistant Chief responsible for WTC7 at the time Frank Fellini, there were no firefighters in the building to speak of. From Fellini:

"...We were concerned that the fires on several floors and the missing steel would result in the building collapsing. So for the next five or six hours we kept firefighters from working anywhere near that building, which included the whole north side of the World Trade Center complex. Eventually around 5:00 or a little after, building number seven came down."

The weekend before the attacks, the electricity in at least one of the towers was shut off, ostensibly to permit upgrading of the computer network cables (which could've been done without shutting down the power at the main terminal). That sort of action isn't taken without the knowledge of the owner; it could've only happened via direct or indirect instruction from Silverstein. To carry out the 9/11 operation the WTC security system would have to be temporarily disabled, thus the power-down. Bomb-sniffing dogs were also removed five days before the attacks.

All the pieces of evidence fit together neatly when viewed as a whole; the fingerprints of the Israeli Mossad and operatives of the Zionist elite are all over the 9/11 attacks, and Silverstein's complicity was key.

Bush: Iran transferring arms to militias in Iraq
Iran Focus

click on Bush when you're done with the blog

London, Apr. 20 – United States President George W. Bush accused Iran on Thursday of transferring arms to outlawed militias inside neighbouring Iraq. He described the Islamic Republic as a “serious problem”.

“Iran is influential inside of Iraq. They are influential by providing advanced weaponry. They are influential by dealing with some militias (#1), tend to be Shia militias, all aiming to create discomfort (#2), all aiming to … create enough discomfort for the United States, but in doing so, they're making it harder for this young democracy to emerge”, Bush told an audience in Tipp City, Ohio.

“Two of the biggest issues we face for the security of this country today and tomorrow is al-Qaeda (#3) and Iran. And yet their influence is being played out in Iraq”, he added.

Bush also touched on Tehran’s nuclear drive. “We believe they would like to have a nuclear weapon. Part of our diplomacy is to prevent them from doing so. If the United States were to leave a chaotic Iraq, not only would the vacuum of our failure there to help this young government enable extremists to move more freely and embolden them, but I also believe it would -- it could cause the Middle East to enter into a nuclear arms race” (#4).

“We have no beef with the Iranian people, which is really important for the people of Iran to understand (#5). We value the history of Iran. We respect the traditions of Iran. It's the Iranian government that is making the decisions that is causing you to be isolated. You're missing an opportunity to be a great nation because your government has made decisions that is causing the world to put economic sanctions on you and to isolate you (#6). I would hope the Iranian government would change their attitude”, he added.

(#1) Iran is a "serious problem", says GWB. Iran hasn't started a single war or invaded a country in a thousand years, but the U.S has been involved non-stop in countless wars and covert operations to overthrow legitimate and popular democratically elected governments, to make no mention of the fact that the U.S.A remains the only nation on Earth insane enough to have ever used nuclear weapons.
And what "advanced weaponry" is Iran supplying? Where is the proof of this? Is he talking about these? Next he'll tell us Iraq had WMDs. And who's "dealing with some militias"? Maybe he's talking about the Iranian diplomats they kidnapped to cause shit.

(#2) Wait, who did he say is "aiming to create discomfort" in Iraq? I do believe there's 655 000 dead people that would say that's you, George.

(#3) Oh for fuck's sake, make up your mind, Dubya. Not long ago you said Capturing Bin Laden Is ‘Not A Top Priority Use of American Resources’. Flip flop flip flop.

(#4) Nuclear arms race? What the fuck is he talking about? India, China, Pakistan, Russia, and Israel are all already armed to the teeth with nukes. Even if Iran did start packin' heat, it'd be little more than a piss in the sea. Maybe they just a want a bit of insurance against being wiped out by Israel. According to this report, they've already tried it once but were turned back by US fighters over Iraq.

(#5) Oh, they understand alright. Just like you didn't have a beef with the 655 000 dead Iraqis I just mentioned.

(#6) Decisions like their nuclear program? That's a bit hypocritical isn't it? Iran maintains that it's strictly for civilian purposes, which they've supported by allowing weapons inspectors full access to their facilities. Under international law, Iran's nuclear development program is perfectly legal. Iran is a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, and as such, has thus far abided by it. Inspections have yielded no evidence that Iran's program is being developed to build nuclear weapons, and that being the case, by the treaty it's perfectly legal.

Article IV(1) of the NPT which provides that

Nothing in this Treaty shall be interpreted as affecting the inalienable right of all the Parties to the Treaty to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes...

Article IV(2) goes on to provide that

All the Parties to the Treaty undertake to facilitate, and have the right to participate in, the fullest possible exchange of equipment, materials and scientific and technological information for the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. Parties to the Treaty in a position to do so shall also cooperate in contributing alone or together with other States or international organizations to the further development of the applications of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, especially in the territories of Non-Nuclear-Weapon States Party to the Treaty, with due consideration for the needs of the developing areas of the world.

You speak a lot o' Bushit, George.
