GOP political ad in Jerusalem Post

When empires go bankrupt, they sell off slices of the planet and hunks of humanity. The desperate British Empire did this during WWI, for example. The sale of Palestine...before the British conquered it with the help of the devout desert Arabs who were not told of the secret deal...is a classic example of this. Regularly, I go into the sewer of Middle Eastern politics to chart the course of the Apocalypse, the fearful WWIII event that will destroy all humanity. We have to look this in the face and try to understand it.
WORLD WAR I BRITISH PROMISES TO JEWS
The British pledge that formally committed the British to the Zionist cause, was the Balfour Declaration of November 1917, an instrument created after the Husayn-McMahon Correspondence and the Sykes-Picot Agreement.Before the emergence of David Lloyd George as prime minister and Arthur James Balfour as foreign secretary in December 1916, the Liberal Herbert Asquith government had viewed a Jewish entity in Palestine as detrimental to British strategic aims in the Middle East. Lloyd George and his Tory supporters, however, saw British control over Palestine as much more attractive than the proposed British-French condominium. Since the time of the Sykes-Picot Agreement, Palestine had taken on increased strategic importance because of its proximity to the Suez Canal, where the British garrison had increased to 300,000 men, and because of a planned British attack on Ottoman Syria originating from Egypt. Lloyd George was determined, as early as March 1917, that Palestine should become British and that he would rely on its conquest by British troops to obtain the abrogation of the Sykes-Picot Agreement.
In the new British strategic thinking, the Zionists appeared as a potential ally capable of safeguarding British imperial interests in the region. Furthermore, as British war prospects dimmed throughout 1917, the War Cabinet calculated that supporting a Jewish entity in Palestine would mobilize America's influential Jewish community to support United States intervention in the war and sway the large number of Jewish Bolsheviks who participated in the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution to keep Russia in the war. Fears were also voiced in the Foreign Office that if Britain did not come out in favor of a Jewish entity in Palestine the Germans would preempt them. Finally, both Lloyd George and Balfour were devout Christians who attached great religious significance to the proposed reinstatement of the Jews in their ancient homeland.
The negotiations for a Jewish entity were carried out by Chiam Weizmann, who greatly impressed Balfour and maintained important links with the British media. In support of the Zionist cause, his protracted and skillful negotiations with the Foreign Office were climaxed on November 2, 1917, by the letter from the foreign secretary to Lord Rothschild, which became known as the Balfour Declaration. This document declared the British government's "sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations," viewed with favor "the establishment in Palestine of a National Home for the Jewish People," and announced an intent to facilitate the achievement of this objective. The letter added the provision of "it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."
The British Empire was going bankrupt due to WWI. The government couldn't tax the people further and failures on the battlefield and especially the new form of naval warfare thanks to the invention of the submarine, the greatest naval power on earth was rapidly being literally sunk to the bottom of the seas. The dark year of 1917 saw the British government desperately searching for funding and political support. They got this by making promises to conquer Palestine and hand it secretly to the Zionist movement. The Zionist plans were to eliminate all the inhabitants of that part of the earth and colonize it with only Jews.
This had to be kept secret because the Allies in WWI needed support of the natives of Palestine and Arabia. So the dishonest governors of England chose to make a totally secret deal with powerful Jewish bankers and media owners. The seeds of the Apocalypse were sown in secret because all parties knew that sane people would resist this with all their souls.
It took 100 years to retrain and reorganize the aspirations and thinking processes of generations of millions of people to bring about the Apocalypse. In the US, many millions now believe that the only way they can be saved by Jesus is to turn Jerusalem into a burning pit from hell via nuclear bombs. Then, Jesus will come and eliminate most humans and elevate the true believers...who HATE each other tremendously and think each other are really demons....but this demonic Jesus will select only one sect of True Believers to rule the earth and all others including the Jews who don't join the correct Jesus-sect, will be sent to eternal torment in hell.
Members of my own family believe this with all their hearts. They don't talk to me and are often quite cruel, especially my brother who is a minister, because I believe in my more rational and far less deadly paganist universe. I believe that if we honor Libra and have some balance to our lives and not be too greedy or too wild, we can live a long time on this lovely planet we call 'earth'. And Pegasus is all about eating, drinking and being merry. So I kind of like him, too. And the evil sister goddesses are to be watched closely and treated with respect.
But it seems nearly no one wants this religion so I have to tangle with people who have this concept of perfect gods who are 'jealous' as well as murderous. The believers of these gods like to kill people and are willing to plunge the planet into the ultimate war. Palin, the American right wing incarnation of the Whore of Babylon, wishes to have nuclear war with Russia, for example. McCain wants to bomb, bomb, bomb Iran. The forces unleashed by the liberation of the people of Europe in the Napoleonic Wars continues and worsens. For the American and French revolutions destroyed the concept of land being owned by nobles which the inhabitants had to swear fealty to a person rather than nationalism. There was NO nationalism before 1776.
Quickly, the concept of nationalizm=ethnic/religious identity [Freudian slip into German!] took over in Europe in the dissolution of the great inherited state empires at the end of WWI. But Zionism was the earliest indication of this hideous new force. The American/French revolution idea was that the NATION was the concept. All religions and ethnic entities were equal and the same. The US Constitution even enshrined this concept in no uncertain terms separating Church and State. But the alternative concept was endorsed at the end of WWI because of Zionism. The idea that a people and religion had superior rights and above all, the right to establish religious/ethnic identity states, was at the core of the explosive peace negotiations.
England was the very first to secretly endorse this hideous concept. Before even conquering Palestine, in November of 1917, the British government promised Jewish financiers, in exchange for gold, they could use the British military as mercenary forces to take Palestine and hand it over to alien Jews who would then begin their purge of the natives. Here is an old New York Times article about all this:
December 11, 1917: JERUSALEM AND BAGDAD.
Notice that the Jewish newspaper goes to great lengths to lie about Jewish intentions. We know from letters that have been finally released to the public that Jewish leaders knew they were lying, planned their lies and wanted desperately to keep all interior negotiations as secret as possible. This is because they were planning to commit a great crime. This crime rebounded on the Jewish populations of Europe as it created the conditions of the birth of Naziism. For it clearly showed that there was definitely a secret accord that crosses all national boundaries, one that was a denial of patriotism and was focused on betraying home governments in the name of establishing a Jews-only state in Palestine.
This idea that nationalism is dead and the only true nations are those that are ethnic/religious entities is very insidious and extremely dangerous. Just as we now have, in the US itself, the 'Mother State' of nationalism, the idea that people working for the US government or voted into Congress can be 'dual citizens' due to ethnic/religious identity....IS EXTREMELY DESTRUCTIVE.
Because I adhere 100% to the true concepts of the American Revolution and the US Constitution, I have been banned at more than one site including the odious New York Times due to talking about the evils of ethnic/religious identity national politics versus true nationalism which means all people who inhabit a geographical political entity are equal as well as patriotic. This is what is under fire in our latest several elections: who is a traitor?
Treason, in my books, involves both the Constitution as well as endangering the affairs of our nation, the USA. For example, the ideological push to eliminate all barriers to trade is treasonous since it is destroying our industrial base as well as our national finances. Running imperialist wars that are costing us an arm and a leg is treason. Making secret deals and lying to the American people is treason. Our media lies to us about nearly all particulars when it comes to the dangers of the Apocalypse. Lying about politicians who openly talk about making war on behalf of the owners of the media outlets is treason.
Note the ad I pulled from the Jerusalem Post at the top of this story! It is all about demonizing Obama. It was posted by the REPUBLICAN PARTY and is in a FOREIGN newspaper, in Israel. It is designed to egg on dual citizens into voting for a Republican candidacy that is a bomb freak who wants war with Iran and his Apocalyptic side-kick, Palin, the Whore of Babylon. Let's go the Haaretz, a liberal Israeli newspaper:
Olmert: No such thing as undivided Israel anymore
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Sunday said that the concept of an "undivided Israel is over. There is no such thing. Anyone who talks that way is deluding themselves."Addressing the cabinet during the weekly meeting, which focused on the evacuation-compensation bill which proposes offering NIS 1.1 million to families willing to move out of West Bank settlements, Olmert said that this was not always his stance.
"During Camp David I thought that [then prime minister] Ehud Barak's concessions were too much, and I told him as much. I thought that land from the Jordan River through to the sea was all ours, but ultimately, after a long and tortured process, I arrived at the conclusion that we must share with those we live with, if we don't want to be a bi-national state."
During the meeting, Vice Premier Haim Ramon presented the cabinet with the outline of a plan to offer NIS 1.1 million to Jewish families willing to voluntarily evacuate their homes in the West Bank.Ramon's proposal is estimated at a total cost of NIS 2.5 billion. The plan would offer settlers who choose to relocate to the Negev an additional 25 percent compensation and those who agree to move the Galilee region an additional 15 percent.
18 percent of the 60,000 settlers currently living in the West Bank have said they would be willing to relocate. A survey conducted by the Prime Minister's Office showed that more than 11,000 settlers living beyond the security barrier would agree to leave their homes.
Ramon told the cabinet members that "the evacuation of residents of Judea and Samaria is an unavoidable step for those who believe in two states for two peoples - and that includes most of the Israeli public."
Ramon added that Israel's position in negotiations with the Palestinians and in the eyes of the international community would only be bolstered by an announcement that Israel wants to end its presence in the West Bank.
The month after 9/11, Bush went to the UN and sought support in attacking Afghanistan, a country that didn't attack the US [fomer CIA operative, bin Laden was supposed to have organized the attacks]. At the UN, Bush declared US support for a separate Palestinian state made out of the rump of what was left of Palestine after the British conquered it and then secretly began to hand it over to the Jews. The state proposal was strangled by Jewish supporters in the US as well as in Israel. The media went to great lengths to prevent any talk or negotiations that would lead to a separate state all the while, lying about nearly everything and pretending to be interested in negotiations.
Well, this month, all pretense has been dropped. Ever since the Jewish leaders managed to drag poor Obama off to AIPAC and forced him to swear fealty to an anti-American religious/ethnic state, all pretense of negotiations with Palestinians has been dropped. Now, the Final Push to the Sea is beginning. Settlers brought in via US taxpayer dollars are rioting in the West Bank. The subterranean daily insults, abuses and open beatings ministered to the natives has now risen to outright murder and riots. And not a peep about this makes the US news. Here is today's news in Israel via Haaretz:
Security officials vow tougher line against settler violence
Senior security officials said Saturday they would take a harder line in light of the recent spike in violence by West Bank settlers against Palestinians and Israeli soldiers.A Palestinian youth was killed and a settler, two women tourists and eight Palestinians were injured in a series of violent incidents over the weekend throughout the West Bank. A military official called the events "wild rioting that must be stopped."
This story does not appear in any US media. During WWI, the population was kept in the dark about casualties and war losses, especially the deteriorating financial condition of the empires. So it is today: the US public is, for the most part, nearly totally oblivious about what is going on. Not due to stupidity but due to the hyper-secrecy of the US media and the politicians who all are owned by AIPAC at this point. To show how this insidious process works, I asked the NY Times to list all articles about settlers rioting and attacking Palestinians. And got a very meagre handful of listings.
Here are some older stories of similar riots, one of which actually appeared in the NY Times although it was merely a Reuters cable, not a big NYT story. Only stories praising Jewish delusions is allowed like the recent one where a Jewish reporter for the NTY walked around Tel Aviv's segregated beaches and met only Palestinians who agreed with him that all was well and the Jews were really nice people, not vicious conquerers.
Israeli Is Slain on West Bank; Settlers Riot in an Arab Town
Published: April 12, 1987
An Israeli woman was killed by a firebomb thrown into her car in the occupied West Bank Saturday, and in response hundreds of Jewish settlers rampaged in the West Bank town of Kalkilya overnight, breaking windows and setting cars ablaze.An Israeli woman was killed by a firebomb thrown into her car in the occupied West Bank Saturday, and in response hundreds of Jewish settlers rampaged in the West Bank town of Kalkilya overnight, breaking windows and setting cars ablaze.
February 01, 2006 Settlers Riot, Hurl Cement Blocks, Stab Police – 200 Injured
Thousands of right wing settlers attacked police attempting to evacuate the illegal West Bank Bank outpost of Amona. Rioters hurled cement blocks and rocks at police, and used knives and other weapons. One policeman was stabbed in the stomach; another was critically injured by a cement block thrown on his head. Many more were injured. One settler had a serious skull fracture. In all, a total of 200 police and settlers were injured.What is the answer to this anti-democratic anarchy? Immediately stop all state funding to hesder yeshivot. Arrest those on the Yesha Council who refused to stop the violence. Fire all rabbis on the government payroll who in any way support disobeying orders, violent protest or refusal to serve. And arrest any rabbi who has committed treason or encoraged violence.
About once every 5 years, the Times carries an article about this. I remember when the horrors happening to blacks in the US south never made the news. It was only when the media began to carry stories about the white on black crimes, did the rest of the world demand this stop. The US was running a huge propaganda war against Russia while conducting ethnic cleansing in the US south. This was forced to stop, thank goodness.
Here is a BBC story that didn't make any US media reports:
Blair's relative 'stuck in Gaza'
Lauren Booth, human rights activist and sister-in-law of the former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, has said she is being prevented from leaving Gaza.
Ms Booth arrived in the Gaza Strip on a "peace boat" to publicise Israel's blockade of the Palestinian territory.But she said the Egyptian and Israeli authorities had prevented her from leaving Gaza three times.
Mr Blair, now an international envoy to the Middle East, is currently in the region meeting senior Israeli leaders.
Here we are, in a very stupid election with the very first 'black' candidate getting support of half of the nation and he can't argue with his white opponents or he is called 'uppity' and is hassled by the media into shutting up while the white candidates hammer away at him. He can't even debate issues without being seen as 'uppity'. This is tied into the business of Israel for racism is all about being Jewish and 'pure'. As all ethnic/religious states depend on sexual identity, this is an ugly undercurrent in US politics.
The ethnic cleansing of Palestine doesn't make the news here. And it is very ugly. It has also revived ethnic identity politics across the Islamic world. This is why we see tensions between rival Muslim faith groups like the Shia versus the Sunni. State lines not only have to be constantly redrawn, whole populations must be eradicated or moved when this happens. We see this across Europe during the last 100 bloody years. It continues in Europe. We see Belgium unable to have a stable government due to hostilities over language and religion in that tiny, so-called 'civilized' country. Former Austro-Hungarian imperial countries are sub-dividing in ugly ways. Just as the Ottoman Empire continues its disintegration.
The philosophical battle between nationalism and tribalism is lost. Tribalism is winning, hands down. Except in China. This is why I say, China is now the leader in true liberalism. The attempt by the tribalists in the West at splintering China along ethnic/religious tribal lines has failed. And China intends to keep this from happening. I was one of the very few commentators in the US to understand that the victory of China over the religious/ethnic rioters in Tibet was a good thing.
The Chinese have been slow to talk about the philosophical underpinnings of these nationalist victories. Europe is going the opposite direction: it is trying to become a loose confederate empire by encouraging ethnic/religious divisions under the umbrella of NATO and the European Union. But this is a very weak entity that dares not go to war with anyone. As we saw with the confrontation with Russia.
Russia is very tempted to go the tribal route and have only Orthodox Russians but Putin has cast this aside and he is a convert to the Chinese concept of US-style nationalism! Isn't this utterly ironic? Now, back to today's Haaretz:
ADL: Religious groups' plan to break bread with Ahmadinejad is a 'betrayal'
Five American religious organizations have announced plans to host a dinner to break the Ramadan fast with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during his upcoming visit to the United States.The Mennonite Central Committee, the Quakers, the World Council of Churches, Religions for Peace and the American Friends Service Committee are sponsoring the meeting with President Ahmadinejad on September 25 in New York City.
*snip*
"It simply defies belief that five organizations with a mission of promoting peace through dialogue would choose President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from among the hundreds of world leaders and ambassadors who will be in New York this month, as an appropriate and legitimate interlocutor on world peace," Foxman said.
This story didn't make the news in the US, either. I believe that during the election, the Zionists want to keep as low a profile as possible even as they haul the candidates to AIPAC to swear fealty to THEM and not to the US. I happen to believe that AIPAC has finally gained status as 'traitorous organization' and it should be investigated and then disbanded. It is obviously corrupting our government and endangering the US political systems. Last year, the NYT allowed one of their Jewish internal bloggers the right to call for President Carter to be arrested for treason! The Times hates Jimmy Carter because of the book he wrote that honestly compared Zionist activities in Palestine to be 'apartheid.' The arrogance of the top Zionists has grown to the point, they can openly destroy US Presidents by running media campaigns against them. And they have turned all US candidates into puppets that must dance when the media strings are pulled.
Bob Barr, by the way, has managed to get 2% of the vote in the polls despite a near-100% media black out of his activities and speeches. Ron Paul got even more support despite a huge media push to marginalize him. But note how he has once again vanished from view. I used to say, 'I can hold a press conference naked and the media won't put me in the news except to talk about a mysterious woman who gave a speech while naked.' Actually, I did make a speech half-naked once, way back in 1969. Despite having size D breasts, this barely made the news and no history books about the wild sixties mentions my infamous but invisible speech in Berkeley, California.
Here is more of today's news that isn't news in the US nor is being debated by our candidates except for the invisible Bob Barr:
U.S. to sell Israel Air Force new bunker-buster bombs
Despite reservations in Washington regarding a possible Israeli strike on Iran, the American administration will supply Israel with sophisticated weapons for heavily fortified targets, the U.S. administration announced.The U.S. Department of Defense announced it would sell the Israel Air Force 1,000 new smart bombs, rumored to significantly enhance the IAF's military capabilities. The deal was approved amid public and secret messages from Washington, with the Americans expressing their reservations about a possible Israeli strike against the Islamic Republic's suspected nuclear sites.
What Israel wants, Israel gets. Without question. This is why the US will support all efforts to disarm Israel's neighbors but not Israel, itself. Since we can't disarm Iran, Iran isn't as stupid as Iraq, we must menace Iran with bunker-buster bombs. Israel hopes to use Iraq's airspace to attack Iran. They are running out of time and are itching to get moving. The price of gasoline in the US is shooting upwards thanks to Hurricane Ike. We can triple this if we let Israel fly these stupid bunker busting bombs to Iran.
Medvedev to Haaretz: Attack on Iran will endanger entire world
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Friday, "We know that certain players are planning an attack against Iran. But we oppose any unilateral step and military solution to the nuclear crisis," he added.Speaking at the Valdai Discussion Club, an annual forum of opinion-makers in Moscow, Medvedev also said, "The world does not need to tighten its sanctions on Iran at this time."
And THIS news didn't make the news in US media! Not to the degree it is resounding across the globe. But this is why the US is now restarting the Cold War. We have to crush Russia in order to crush the Palestinians. This illogical approach is why I fear the Apocalypse will be dropped on our heads.
MarketWatch) -- Investors in U.S. makers of big weapon systems sometimes say they're nervous a left-leaning Democratic presidency could severely cut military spending.
A more realistic threat to the future of some lucrative defense contracts, however, may come in the form of a conservative Republican.
Right wingers pretend to cut the military but then...OOOPS!....we go to war! Ah well, so much for not spending money! Eisenhower warned us about this. Too many people make too much money making too many bombs. So we have to use them. And any excuse will do.
(UPI) -- Iraqi traders are buying up cheap, low-quality Iranian goods, taking advantage of open transport routes and newly established ties, Iraqi businessmen said.Despite budget increases for the Iraqi government, most Iraqis face chronic underemployment, making cheaper Iranian goods attractive to Iraqi customers, the Iraqi daily newspaper Azzaman reported.
"Almost all Iraqi traders have now shifted their attention to Iran," said Mohammed Abbas, a local trader in Baghdad.
HAHAHA. Iran won Desert Storm II. It was obvious from the beginning that Iran would win. This is overturning all the nice plots and plans of nearly everyone who was focused on increasing US and Israel power in the Middle East. When we go to war on fake philosophical beliefs and secret accords, bad things happen. The pretense of bringing peace and freedom to religious/tribal authorities has led to hyper-nationalism on the part of the Shi'ites in the Muslim world. They are on the path to victory and ethnic cleansing. They totally endorse the CONCEPT of ethnic cleansing which they justify because the US and Europe endorses and believes in ethnic cleansing.
This is why Israel is a huge danger to ALL nations: its fundamental basis is a total denial of the modern nationalist state. Just as Hitler conceived of a national-socialist state based not on citizenship but on ethnic identity, this noxious vision has been pushed even harder by Zionists. They represent the Nazi ideal, not the Washington ideal of a citizenship state where all people are equal. Even the US had to fight for true nationalism which is why the slave-owning South opted for confederation, not nationalism. They wanted to have ethnic/religious identity determine citizenship.
The fight for civil rights is bound up in the fight for nationalist citizenship. This is the big debate we should all be having. Not waving a useless flag but talking about the dangers of ethnic identity politics.
Culture of Life News Main Page
An exceedingly long and complex read that will take no less than one week to digest and understand. Regardless of one's position and/or opinion, the issues raised by this post demand civil discussion by all. IMHO, the one most disturbing element in America's current thinking is the growing thought that it is America's goal if not god given duty/obligation to actively spread "democracy" throughout the planet. Whatever happened to the concept/idea that America will support the aspiring and protect the weak and oppressed, but refrain from active over the top involvement in the affairs of others?
Have you considered cross posting this at the D Kos?
