The full-throttle effort to throttle former President Carter, the man who has spent his retirement pushing hard for world peace and reconciliation, is on display at all the major war-mongering media outlets like the New York Times and Washington Post. The host of Jewish writers in these places continue their jihad of lies about both the former President and the Middle East. They have no shame.
By Michael Kinsley
Tuesday, December 12, 2006; Page A27In the six decades since the founding of Israel, there have been about one and a half new ideas for solving the most intractable problem on the map of the world. In fact, ever since Britain's Balfour Declaration (1917) made incompatible promises to Jews and Arabs struggling over the same tiny plot of land, most would-be solutions have counted on an outbreak of goodwill among the Middle East's warring parties. This tradition continues in the Iraq Study Group report, which declared: "There must be a renewed and sustained commitment by the United States to a comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace on all fronts" as a small warm-up for tackling the problem of Iraq.
What a good idea! And then we'll cure cancer, to pave the way for health care reform.
One thing that I have noticed over the years is how attempts at being even-handed collapse nearly instantly into sarcasm and bitter attacks when Jewish writers attempt to talk about their nation. Instead of freeing them from the shackles of racism and religious bigotry, the creation of a Jews-only state (Christians and Muslims many not emigrate there and become voting citizens) has warped the Jewish community in the rest of the world into exactly that thing that the Nazis complained about: a population that refuses to support their nation but instead, swears fealty to another.
This situation turned the Jewish community from being a supporter of internationalism and anti-discrimination into a machine pushing for the worst forms of racism and nationalist singularity. Hitler tried to lure Germans in America and South America to support him during WWII by appealing to the idea, Germans are always citizens of Germany only and are merely temporary residents of the USA, for example.
This was soundly repudiated by the vast majority of people of German heritage. The Japanese government tried the same trick. Alas, the USA was a racist country back then and many Japanese citizens had their homes and businesses confiscated and were put in concentration camps just as the Jews were in Germany.
The lesson of WWII to me, is, people must become part of where they live. If someone decides to move to Mexico when they retire because they want to live cheaply, they must support MEXICO in all disputes even if it is with the USA. If they refuse to do this, they remain aliens and can and should be deported if they refuse to support Mexico in disputes with the USA. Ditto the other way around!
No nation can tolerate an invasion of aliens if they support another nation and refuse to be full citizens of their new home! The colonization of Palestine is like the violent colonization of South Africa. Once the defeated natives accepted their fate and became citizens of South Africa, pressure from the USA and others was applied haphazardly to grant some civil rights to these victims of violent colonization.
Mandela was one of many men and women who fought the violent South African racists. He was put in prison, many were murdered or enslaved. Worried about the rising violence, the racists of South Africa decided to prevent the natives from voting by creating mini-countries surrounded by 'South Africa'. The laborers needed by this Nazi state could leave home and live in dormitories or attics but they had no right to be in South Africa and could be summarily removed. The world recoiled from this 'solution' and a boycott was launched.
Here is Kinsely admitting Jews are racist but then brushing it off as if it were a small matter and not at the core of the problems we face in the Middle East.
Apartheid had a philosophical component and a practical one, both quite bizarre. Philosophically, it was committed to the notion of racial superiority. No doubt many Israelis have racist attitudes toward Arabs, but the official philosophy of the government is quite the opposite, and sincere efforts are made to, for example, instill humanitarian and egalitarian attitudes in children. That is not true, of course, in Arab countries, where hatred of Jews is a standard part of the curriculum.
The humanitarianism of the Jewish people is on full display if one can get past the gigantic wall hiding the Jewish crimes from the American public. Like the Nazis, they feel, if no one can see, no one will know. This is why they are evicting any and all foreign observers who try to witness what is going on. There are no American TV film crews running around recording the mayhem. In Israel, they openly debate starving the Palestinians into submission, they put in charge of security, Lieberman who plans to eliminate all Muslims from 'Israel'.
Many, many Jewish writers lament the lack of some kindly, peaceful person who will come in and make this whole thing magically end...in favor of the Jews-only state.
And the most tragic difference: Apartheid ended peacefully. This is largely thanks to Nelson Mandela, who turned out to be miraculously forgiving. If Israel is white South Africa and the Palestinians are supposed to be the blacks, where is their Mandela?
Apartheid didn't end peacefully. It was a long, grinding guerrilla war that engulfed most of lower Africa. Mandela was a revolutionary who took advantage of the huge, world-wide EXCEPT FOR ISRAEL, boycott to negotiate an end to the apartheid state. The USA backed MANDELA. The USA right now backs the Jews in this new apartheid business so instead of the wall going down and a constitution like ours being applied, the wall is being built with American funds and the Israelis are committing graver and graver crimes against humanity and the Jewish people in America are becoming increasingly frantically fascistic.
BERLIN, Dec. 11 (Xinhua) -- Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert implied that Israel has nuclear weapons, a departure from Israel's longtime nuclear policy of ambiguity, although other Israeli officials immediately denied it.During an interview to a German television, Olmert, who was kicking off a three-day visit to Germany and Italy, hinted that Israel has nuclear arms.
"Iran, openly, explicitly and publicly threatens to wipe Israel off the map. Can you say that this is the same level, when they are aspiring to have nuclear weapons, as America, France, Israel, Russia?" Olmert said.
Right on the heels of Olmert wailing at Gates for mentioning these nukes, he admits it via a slip of the tongue. So, is it headlines in America? No?
The poison seeping out of the Israeli well is killing us. We can't get important news anymore. The need to protect Israel no matter what is the engine driving the USA into WWIII. Our diplomacy is aimed right now at disarming Muslims. We lie to them constantly about Israel and nukes and they are furious at this latest proof their suspicions were correct. The USA has to address this issue as well as the UN for the USA has prevented the UN from dealing with the rogue state status of Israel.
We are flailing away in this futile debate about what to do with our dying troops in Iraq. Since the army of right-wing Jewish writers who dominate our editorial pages as well as other key positions refuse to talk about or openly lie about these key matters, this leaves most Americans puzzled. They wonder why the world won't cooperate with our sincere attempts at disarmament.
As rage builds over our defeats in the Middle East, people will seek some sort of scapegoat. Right now, that person is Bush who deserves this status. But if we get rid of him and not change the way America gets facts, we will continue to be deluded and deceived. The abusive language being heaped upon the head of the very thoughtful President Carter is a dangerous thing. Right wingers rejoice when this happens.
I notice Carter is in full retreat. Unlike me, he isn't loudly denouncing these attacks on his central thesis, he is bending to these character assassins and saying he just wanted to generate a debate! He now sheepishly says his title isn't really 'correct'. Sigh.
Well, it is a totally onesided debate! People supporting this comparison of Israel to its former buddy, racist South Africa, are not being allowed to appear in any major media. And Muslims explaining this are scarcer than Young Republicans volunteering to fight in Iraq. Noam Chomsky is Jewish, even, but because he has talked about apartheid Israel for years and years, he is not invited onto the editorial pages of any of the media yapping at Carter today.
Breaking down this wall---it is life and death. The Berlin Wall and Iron Curtain killed the Russian Empire. This one is killing the American Empire.
When you're finally done counting up all the beans, what does Zion do for the US.? Years blogging, and the impression on me is that, the existence of this Zion does absolutely nothing whatsoever for the US.
What does this Zion, which calls itself 'Israel' do for the Jewish people dispersed around the world? Far, far, less than nothing. It merely hijacks their sanity, makes them poorer, and makes them hated.
The energy that feeds this demon does not come from rational Jewish people.
WE INTERRUPT THIS POST WITH THE FOLLOWING SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

The Nightmare Scenario
A Dig led by Sergei Plekhanov
Editor’s note: A former arms control expert in the Soviet Union argues that Bush, in his obsession with North Korea and Iran’s relatively minuscule nuclear threat, has effectively ignored the much more perilous threat of Russia’s 10,000-strong nuclear arsenal.
----------------------------------
This week, the international crisis that started in September with U.S. discovery of stepped-up uranium enrichment activities in Iran is expected to trigger a nuclear war between Russia and the United States. In the past few weeks, international attempts to defuse the crisis failed, as Russia, supported by China and North Korea, increased the readiness of its armed forces and made several threatening moves. In his address to the citizens of Russia, President Valdimir Putin called the situation “grave” and expelled U.S. diplomats from Moscow. President Bush invoked the War Powers Act. A Russian reconnaissance plane collided in midair with a U.S. plane in the vicinity of U.S. ballistic missile defense installations. It is expected that in the next few days, Russia will launch a strategic nuclear strike at American command centers and armed forces. The U.S. will retaliate.
This is the gist of the scenario, called Vigilant Shield ‘07, for this year’s Homeland Defense Exercise, currently being conducted by the U.S. Northern Command, according to Washington Post columnist William Arkin’s Early Warning blog ("Russia Supports North Korea in Nuclear War” and “The Vigilant Shield 07 Exercise Scenario"). War games are a peculiar genre, easy to make fun of, but the logic of this scenario merits serious attention, as it reminds us of an important reality we usually prefer to forget about.
When we think about the danger of nuclear war nowadays, the mind zeros in on North Korea and Iran and stays there, preoccupied with the fact that North Korea has a few nuclear bombs, while Iran may or may not build a few of its own in the next decade. The international community is tying itself in knots trying to respond to the colossal threats to world peace and security that these two countries present.
Now, the reality is that of the world’s estimated 22,000 nuclear weapons, about 21,000 belong to the U.S. and Russia, each of the two possessing nearly equal numbers and keeping about 1,000 of them ready for launching within 30 minutes. The rest are distributed in batches of a few hundred among France, the UK, China and Israel, while the new members of the “nuclear club,” India and Pakistan, possess a few dozens each (Nuclear Issues—CDI).
If we should worry about the existence of nuclear weapons with their unique capacity to put an end to human life on this planet, it is odd that we overlook the thousands and peer at the murky single digits through a magnifying glass and tremble with fear.
What happened to the clarity of mind that defined world thinking about nuclear weapons 20 years ago, when it was obvious that the really dangerous nukes were those in massive numbers that the Americans and the Russians trained on each other and were ready to use on a few minutes’ notice? Recognition of the danger and willingness to do something about it was then a mark of supreme statesmanship. So, when Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and U.S. President Ronald Reagan jointly proclaimed in Geneva in November 1985 that “nuclear war can never be won and should never be fought,” it resonated through the global community, generating hopes that maybe, just maybe, they really meant it and would do something real to reduce the nuclear threat. And they did. They worked out a series of agreements to bring the Cold War to a close and start the process of nuclear disarmament. After the Soviet Union’s collapse, the momentum of nuclear arms reduction continued for a decade. And then, at the dawn of the new century, just as we stopped worrying about the big bombs because they seemed to be on the way out, a Second Nuclear Age began. One of its hallmarks is that both Washington and Moscow have rediscovered the political value of nuclear weapons and are working to make sure that their still-enormous arsenals can be used, quickly, for unleashing a war that would cripple this planet beyond repair.

Correct as always, Blues.
And I have a lot about the new Russia nuclear toys. Have to assemble the complicated story. Will try to post it sometime in the next 24 hrs.
Russia is arming themselves because we surrounded them with hostile bases. End of story.
