Media Propaganda About Scarves In Iran

November 12, 2007

Elaine Meinel Supkis

All over the media, radio and TV is the stupid story about Iran making women wear head scarves and 'modest' clothing. How terrible! But notice there is virtually never any news about our so-called 'moderate' Saudi buddies. Time to strip down this latest propaganda salvos and show the naked truth!

From the BBC:

Iranian newspapers have printed a list of moral vices that the police are targeting, including wearing make-up and hats instead of headscarves.

The police say they will also suppress "decadent" films, drugs and alcohol.

First: most US religious organizations of every possible kind want what? To suppress 'decadent' films, drugs and alcohol! Not to mention out of wedlock sex, fornication, adultery, touching shoes in men's rooms, etc. The US goes berserk over Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. running or diving about, drunk and half naked. Our entire celebrity worship is directed to the female embodiments of the Whore Of Babylon. Even as we present ourselves as the creme de la creme of high culture and moral sobriety, we erect palaces to gambling, whore houses and Washington DC politics. Heh.

So we are horrified to see the Iranian regime enforce the exact same laws the Christian Coalition would run here. Indeed, this hysteria about dress as most of the planet strives to go pagan-naked is very amusing to me. I used to do events where I would dress up as a Victorian lady. In the proper dress of the very-encumbered 1880 fashions. Bustle and corset, the proper shoes, the feathered hat and the umbrella, people would do a double-take when seeing me approach in full sail. I noticed that men were more polite. Children hesitated and stepped aside as I swept along the NYC sidewalks to the park, for example. I used to do skating displays in various rinks in NY and New Jersey using real Victorian skates.

It is very difficult, skating in such dress, of course. But very amusing. One required a gentleman to hold the hand or elbow as I would glide about the ice.

The point of my Victorian lectures was to explain how women lived in these very difficult dresses. The ankles never showed after a woman was married but the neck and upper shoulders were nearly bare! In other words, women's dress has gone through many revolutions and fads! And the level of modesty coupled with raging sexual desire has always been an element in all this.

For example, the more a woman covers up, the more the tiny bits she shows becomes highly sexually charged! For example, Paris Hilton has to run around with her ass and tits hanging to her knees to get attention and she is the embodiment of anti-sexuality. Men stare and then turn away. I have found, when I was dressed in full Victorian dress, the act of pulling off a kidskin glove, slowly while holding my hand right above the bulging upper breasts would cause some men to nearly faint with happiness. That is, when I was a good 30 years younger, of course!

So concealing things enhances sexual desires. In the Muslim world, this is like 1914. Women dared not show ankles or if they swam, they had to do it at sexually segregated beaches and use 'beach houses' drawn by mules into the sea where they could daintily emerge from these shelters far from the men, hidden from view, covered with a bonnet, three layers of dress and stockings and shoes! The invention of bikes opened many vistas for women and of course, was part of women's liberation.

Back to reality here: the news about Iran is all about propaganda. We are supposed to be disgusted by them. And then gawk at Spears and Hilton. This is part of the war push: we must save the poor Iranian women from this hell! Free them so they can ape us!

Of course, this noble course has some problems. Our Gulf Allies are a million times nastier than Iran! This little detail is not just glossed over or ignored, there is this mountain of utter lies about Saudi Arabia, for example!

The police are warning they will deal seriously with any women who dare to wear short trousers, skimpy overcoats or skirts that are revealingly transparent or have slits in them.

In this way, we will have a society that is safe and inclined towards other social, economic, cultural and political activities

Wearing boots instead of full length trousers will not be tolerated, nor will hats instead of headscarves.

Indeed, the police stipulate that small headscarves are out - the scarf must cover a woman's head and neck completely

When my mom was in Saudi Arabia in the seventies, the religious police there ran over a wife of an European oil company who decided to bicycle across a public road from her fenced-in compound to the American compound. She was run over and killed by the religious police who spotted her. My mother was so outraged, she stormed out of the country. Women in our ally nation cannot vote, drive a car, go out alone, date anyone, marry without permission or pretty much do anything.

Only the women under the Taliban fared worse! But all the propaganda we hear these days describes Saudi Arabia as 'moderate.' I hear this continuously so it must be a very important piece of our propaganda diet. The real rules are very anxious to implant this lie deep into our brains!

American Forces Press Service:

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23, 2002 – U.S. Central Command has relaxed the requirement that female service members wear the Muslim abaya when off-base in civilian clothes.
About 1,000 American service women are affected by the change. The command still "strongly advises" female service members to wear the abaya, a black cloak that Muslim women are required to wear by the Koran.

Central Command officials said the requirement was put in place as a force protection measure. Saudi Arabia is a conservative Islamic country and the home of Mecca and Medina, two of the holiest sites in Islam. The officials said the country adheres to a strict interpretation of Islamic religious law as put down in the Koran, the Muslim holy book.

The abaya in Saudi Arabia is a long black robe that covers the head and body. In other areas of the world, the abaya is a simple headscarf.

This story was from when there was a huge uproar over the news that US officers who were women, sent out to save the despots of Saudi Arabia, were forced to look like black ghosts. The US was frantically trying to convince us that SA was a fine, free country and we were bringing freedom and democracy to the Muslim world. This stupendous lie is still being fed to us. Iraq had one of the freest communities in the Muslim world for women. A stellar example. Afghanistan under the Russians was the same way. Both were destroyed by the US and reactionaries putting women into servitude were installed with US money and aid.

US State Department:

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice hopes to “rally moderate forces and moderate voices in the Middle East” during a weeklong trip to the region to visit Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel and the Palestinian territories.

“[T]he countries that we're meeting with particularly in the GCC+2 is a group that you would expect to support the emerging moderate forces in Lebanon, in Iraq and in the Palestinian territories,” she told reporters on the airplane en route to the region.
*snip*
“I'm also going to talk about democracy because the forces of moderation ultimately have to transition into moderate democratic forces or the Middle East I think is not going to be stable,” she said.

“We have with the Saudis these discussions.

The Wahabbist reaction set in motion during Lawrence of Arabia's subversive actions in the Midddle East during WWWI are stilll playing out today. The US knows that Americans need simple propaganda triggers so we fly into a mindless rage when the media plugs into our brains the story de jure. Just like when the President of Iran was visiting NYC, the media here yelled nonstop about how horrible Iran was about gay men.

Then sat aside while a Republican was put on trial for touching a man's shoe in a bathroom! It is still quite illegal to be gay in many parts of the USA! And the Republicans run on a very anti-gay rights platform. So it gave me dark amusement watching the US chastize Iran over the same things we have done in the RECENT past.

Heck, in my own lifetime, it was quasi-legal to lynch blacks who had virtually no civil rights including the right to vote! And gays feared persecution so much, they all had to hide their true sexual orientation or flee to France, one of the few countries that didn't care if one was gay or straight. So our hysteria about Muslims acting like we did a mere 45 years ago is pure bunk.

BBC:

Saudi Arabia's religious police stopped schoolgirls from leaving a blazing building because they were not wearing correct Islamic dress, according to Saudi newspapers.
In a rare criticism of the kingdom's powerful "mutaween" police, the Saudi media has accused them of hindering attempts to save 15 girls who died in the fire on Monday.

This is a classic story from our 'moderate' allies. Imagine this happening in Iran or Iraq! I still remember when a woman walking in Italy without a scarf was harried and harrassed by leering, jeering males. And you couldn't go into a Catholic Church without a scarf. They kept head coverings at the door for women who were unaware of this rule. This has collapsed, of course.

I remember when women wore hats nearly all the time! Before hairspray. When a woman went out, she put on hat and gloves. When I was a child. This sort of formality has vanished and we go about, looking more and more like blobs and field hands. Maybe we should all wear bags over our heads. Call this 'Gitmo Chic'.

The Proud Jewish Editor And The Ashamed Muslim Host

Elaine Meinel Supkis

In the Washington Post I noticed two 'religion' editorials, one by a half-Jewish man who secretly is very Jewish but uses his non-Jewish name as a cloaking device to hide his 'identity' while the other headline editorial is from the 'Muslim' female working for the Guardian in Britain. Unlike the very secretive and very Zionist Jewish male, this female hired to be the 'Muslim' voice hate Muslims, hates her native culture and wants to have absolutely nothing to do with it. The hiring of these two people and the prominence they are given is classic here. It clearly shows the agenda of the Zionists who want to manipulate public opinion.

From the Washington Post, editorial by Alex Remington:

I’m probably the only Jew ever named Alexander Frederick Remington.

I’m the product of an interfaith marriage, which means that I struggle with questions of ambiguous identity – like, well, all Jews – but don’t have a last name to remind me of, and announce to the rest of the world, my inherent Jewishness.

A last name is like a secret handshake: it’s how to identify a landsman, a fellow-traveler, someone who will laugh loudly and whose mother will feed one if one is ever truly desperate. A last name is an identifying mark.
*snip*
So the other parts of me compensate. My accent, all on its own, pinches with a hint of Noo Yawk, my nose and tongue ache for garlic and onions. On occasional Fridays, I go to shul and sit in the back, wearing a yarmulke from the box by the door. I follow along with the tunes and sheepishly check to make sure I’m on the right page. I don’t know the language, but at least I know I’m where I belong.

Evidently, this 'struggle' is finished. Mr. Remington is 100% Zionist. He 'belongs' in the Shul ['Schule' in German]. He feels this unity due to his mother's dietary choices. The garlic and the gefilte fish mark him as a Jew. Of course, his job was part of this. He was hired by the editorial board of the Washington Post because he considers himself to be a Jew and not a 'Gentile' and so he is in harmony with the others of that paper which is the #1 warmongering paper in America, there are no wars or tortures against Muslims the WP doesn't heartily endorse.

The entire article made me quite distressed. In the Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien, the Ring of Doom, the ring that gave vast powers actually gave only two, seemingly insignificant things: long life and invisibility. The ability to be invisible is a great power. One can sneak around and do many things while hiding behind false names. For example, Sumner Redstone, the guy who took over CNN and turned it into the war machine it is today, is Jewish. His name was changed to hide this fact. He is not alone.

One topic that is seldom allowed is the business where Hollywood and the media are controlled by Jewish people who are in cahoots with the increasingly fascist state of Israel. The name changes are one obvious tool used by Zionists today to hide their identities. The other is to hide themselves behind the Ring of Antisemitism. This means we can see them quite clearly but if we count them or talk about them, we are branded 'antisemites.' Indeed, when two prominent intellectual Jews pointed out the obvious about AIPAC, they were hounded mercilessly. When President Jimmy Carter mentioned the crimes of Israel, he was turned invisible, into a non-person, annihilated when he tried to talk in public and then relegated to the same darkness where I dwell for the exact same reasons.

Neither Mearsheimer nor Walt will ever be given front page editorial space to talk about Israel, Jews or religion in any shape or form. The very devout Jimmy Carter will never be allowed so much as 50 words on the editorial page of the Washington Post.

Within the Jewish community, there is considerable dissention as we see here in this year-old editorial. From the July 2006 issue of Jewish Currents

"Pro-Israel" Politics and the Mearsheimer-Walt Paper

An Editorial Typically called a “pro-Israel” perspective, Jewish neoconservatism has been anything but. To the contrary, it has “helped” Israel trap itself in a decades-long occupation of the ferociously angry and desperate Palestinian people. Like an alcoholic’s codependent partner, neoconservative Jews have “helped” successive Israeli governments foster hubristic illusions of a “Greater Israel” through the expansion of illegal settlements, which has caused the country to sacrifice its soldiers, its citizens and its moral standing for a bunch of concrete and barbed-wire structures. When Yitzhak Rabin opened negotiations with the PLO and Ehud Barak agreed to the partitioning of Jerusalem, neoconservative Jews damned them with faint praise. When Likud-dominated governments and their more openly pro-settlements policies have come to power, they were given vociferous support. The “pro-Israel” view, then, has been, at best, “pro-Likud,” and, at worst, a siren song.

Neoconservative Jews have also sought opportunistic alliances in the U.S. with the Christian right, notwithstanding the fundamentalist religious strictures that such “allies” seek to impose on American politics and culture. Neocon Jews have performed hatchet jobs on dissident foreign leaders, with the Sandinistas, Hugo Chavez, Nelson Mandela and Fidel Castro all smeared as “anti-Semites” at one point or another. Perhaps most dangerously, neoconservative Jewish cheerleading for the invasion of Iraq has fostered a widespread view of that unpopular war as being fought “for Israel’s sake.”

This editorial, which is intelligent and voices the same concerns I often talk about, is NOT on the editorial page of the Washington Post nor the NYT. These editorials, written by Jews, are online or maybe in various publications in Israel but they are not seen by the average America who gets mainly the sort of drivel we see in the WP editorial.

This editorial which is an online editorial, not something we would ever see in the NYT or WP, is one that states nearly 100%, exactly what I have been saying for many years. The near-total absence of such editorials in the US is not accidental. For some reason, Jews who either own or are the people in charge of American publishing or media outlets are frantic to prevent any sign of dissent or discussion appearing in public. So we have the curious situation where the US slogs forwards from one morass to another, no debate or if there is dissent, it is minimized or cloaked in darkness. For example, when the Zionists who were neocons were working with Congress and Bush to shove us all into the Iraq war quagmire, we had these massive anti-war demonstrations. Many people in these demonstrations were Jewish as well as a host of other religious or non-religious affilations.

But news about this was either minimized in the media or there were outright lies about these demostrations. I was in several of these mass rallies. For example, the NYT sent a Jewish reporter to check out the massive Washington, DC demo in the dead of winter in 2003, before the invasion. She reported that virtually no one showed up which was a total lie. When we forced the NYT to reveal how she was so deluded, they claimed she showed up BEFORE the demonstration, didn't see the hundreds of thousands who came after 10am, it being before 9am, so she left!

We demanded she be fired and the NYT refused. Her job was to lie about us and enable the war. This sort of 'reporting' is rampant in the US these days and a great deal of it is directly tied to Zionism and the Jewish supporters of Israel manipulating or concealing news.

The Washington Post 'blog' about Jimmy Carter's book from last Christmas:

"The bottom line is this," Carter writes in an online excerpt posted by his publisher." "Peace will come to Israel and the Middle East only when the Israeli government is willing to comply with international law, with the Roadmap for Peace, with official American policy, with the wishes of a majority of its own citizens -- and honor its own previous commitments -- by accepting its legal borders. All Arab neighbors must pledge to honor Israel's right to live in peace under these conditions."

In the United States, Carter's linkage of Israeli policy and the now-defunct South African system of racial apartheid has been greeted coolly by fellow Democrats, including incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

"It is wrong to suggest that the Jewish people would support a government in Israel or anywhere else that institutionalizes ethnically based oppression, and Democrats reject that allegation vigorously," Pelosi said.

This older editorial is most interesting to me. Last night, I visited the poor folks at the Daily Kos desperately trying to figure out why the Democratic Party always betrays the main body of voters in the Democratic Party:

Did you see the list of them (3+ / 0-)
being subpoened in the AIPAC/Franklin trial? There is something to the hold that AIPAC has over this bunch of criminal congressmen/women. What is it? Most of them are willing to nuke Iran for the "thought" of protecting Israel. The sad thing is that Israel can protect itself with the threat to use its nukes. The only problem is that they won't admit they have them although everyone knows the truth. Israel wouldn't hesitate to use them either, which is scary.

I knew instantly that Feinstein and Schumer were cutting a backroom deal to protect the money bagmen working inside of AIPAC. The AIPAC treason trials will be terminated one way or another just like the Valery Plame trials were terminated. Some of the posters at Daily Kos went into a frenzy trying to stop all talk about Israel connected with this astonishing Friday Night Massacre of Democratic Ideals. Most of the thread about this mess wandered off into puzzlement as to why these things keep happening to Democrats seeking a change in direction.

Since there are no editorialists in the major media talking about AIPAC's trial at all or about Schumer and Feinstein wanting an Attorney General who would be kind to the AIPAC operatives and all that, most Americans can't see what is so painfully obvious to me. The limitations on talking about Jewishness are very strong, very severe and utterly ridiculous. The Washington Post doesn't hesitate to feature a guy who is half Jewish celebrating his embracing of Jewishness but I can't talk there about AIPAC's impact on Congress and our foreign policy or about Israel's free financial ride on our backs.

Indeed, Israel's standard of living...FOR JEWS...is at the same level as the USA. Yet they are by far and away, the biggest recipients of foreign aid. And people calling for fiscal repairs will suggest cutting Medicare or Food Stamps but not aid to Israel. Just this week, Bush is cutting Medicare and Medicaid payments to doctors by 10% and more doctors will refuse to see patients who are on these programs and Americans will die because of this and aid to Israel went up this year by several more billions of dollars and nary a peep from any Congress critters or the ruler in the White House!

Just like many billions are voted for the war in Iraq which serves no purpose to strengthen the USA in any realistic way. The attempt by the media and our ruling elites in DC to spook us into imagining tiny Iran will nuke the USA is classic propaganda and totally silly. The nuclear threat from Russia and China are much more realistic and bombing them to prevent war is of course, seen as insane.

But if the media harps on this in the case of Iran, the average American is not capable of resisting this forever if it is repeated nonstop by an army of Zionists who infest every possible level of our media.

From the above Washington Post interview of Carter last year:

When Carter was asked by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, why the plight of the Palestinians receives comparatively little discussion in the U.S. media, he said it was "a mystery."

Carter continued, "There is no discussion of these issues in this country that amounts to anything. There is obviously no discussion among the members of Congress. And even the American news media, wonderful ones like who you work for, The New York Times, The Washington Post and so forth, as well as the major networks and even cable -- rarely bring up any of the issues that are dramatized very accurately in this book."

Carter suggested that any congressional candidate who declared, "I want the Israelis to comply with international law," wouldn't have a chance to be elected.

"But it is a mystery to me why the news media don't at least give a sharp discussion of these issues. ... I go to Israel fairly often and when I go to Jerusalem, the debate is vociferous in the news media and among politicians. In Europe the same thing. In the U.S., no debate."

The Ring of Doom maked Gollum, Frodo and the Dark Lord invisible. This is why poor Jimmy Carter has to pretend to be mystified as to why there is no discussion in American media concerning the plight of the Palestinian people and the theft of their homes and the locking of millions of them into these ghettos surrounded by high walls and guard towers straight out of Nazi Germany's text book for how to deal with ethnic cleansing programs.

Israel allows discussion of all this but the discussion doesn't go very far, it moves ever rightwards and there are many forbidden topics and the business of Jews discussing affairs with each other while excluding others isn't reassuring. They are not debating all this with say, the Palestinians. They are deciding amongst themselves, what is going to be done to the Palestinians. Just as they may debate what they plan to do with the American people, we are excluded from this conversation.

Thursday, January 18, 2007

I am concerned that public discussion of my book "Palestine Peace Not Apartheid" has been diverted from the book's basic proposals: that peace talks be resumed after six years of delay and that the tragic persecution of Palestinians be ended. Although most critics have not seriously disputed or even mentioned the facts and suggestions about these two issues, an apparently concerted campaign has been focused on the book's title, combined with allegations that I am anti-Israel. This is not good for any of us who are committed to Israel's status as a peaceful nation living in harmony with its neighbors.

The bloody birth of Israel and the many wars since would seem to me to preclude calling this religious state based on ethnic cleansing, 'peaceful.' How can anyone have harmony with neighbors when the intention is for the neighbors to be killed off or removed? A number of times in my life, people have come to me with a gleam in their eyes. 'I know how we can have peace in the Middle East or Iraq!' they would exclaim. I cock an eye in their direction and ask how this is going to be done.

'All we have to do is remove all the Muslims! They can start life over somewhere else!' is the triumphant answer. Always. I sigh and suggest they donate a state in the US such as California or Texas to the displaced Muslims and the Palestinians. This always ends with them howling with rage, 'How dare you suggest this!'

This is like a form of mental illness. There is so much media manipulation of minds, people have no idea they have been tricked into accepting ethnic cleansing and are eager enablers. Suggesting that millions of Americans be forcibly removed from home to hand all this over to displaced populations in the Middle East isn't part of the propaganda. We are assured that we can stay in our homes for the time being because the ethnic cleansing raging in so many other lands and which is theologically and philosphically supported by many Jews, is not our fates...yet. But like any contaigous disease, this mind-set is very dangerous and of all people, Jews should be aware of this danger. It will be turned on themselves. As always.

In the very same daily news at the Washington Post that celebrates a secretive Jewish young man who is very proud of being Jewish we get this really horrible article by a young Muslim woman who hates Muslims but was hired to write about Muslim affairs, Riazat Butt who works for the Guardian in England:

I am 32 and, until this year, I never had many Muslim friends. At first I thought it was because I grew up in a small town and my family didn’t socialize much with other families. Then I blamed my – predominantly white, predominantly middle-class – education and employment choices.

I thought things would change in 2007, when I became the presenter for the Guardian’s Muslim podcast Islamophonic. If anything would bring me closer to the Ummah - it would be this show. True, now most of my Facebook friends are Muslim and my contacts book spilleth over with halal numbers. But, after eight months of networking and bridge building, I remain the outsider and I realize it’s because I am Not Muslim Enough.
*snip*
Being in the company of non-Muslims is easier and more fun. It's is not a euphemism for drinking and partying. They respect my boundaries and our bonds are forged faster and stronger because there is less political and religious baggage to deal with. Islam intrigues them but, with them, my religion is only part of who I am. Clearly, this is a mistake because it makes me NME.

She should be working for Islamophobic! She wants a big, fat wall between herself and her 'native' religion. So here it is in a nutshell: the Washington Post has two religious stories side by side. One is a proud but secretive Jew who can't wait to work for all Zionists in the media, a man with a clear future based on all this and on the other hand, a Muslim woman who doesn't like anything about her own people, her parent's religion and who is actively avoiding contact if possible, with other Muslims. She will hang out, I am assuming, with Jews but not Muslims. Or Christians? And they carry less political or religious baggage?

The baggage the West carries is the size of a mountain! But of course, the Muslim young lady who hates her own people won't have to talk about politics or religion since all this is TABOO. Namely, no one is supposed to talk about any of this. If we do, we are accused of antisemitism. Will the Washington Post carry a story written by say, my friend at Lawrence of Cyberia?

Meanwhile In A Parallel Universe

This is my third post on that alternate reality in which Israel gets to demonize Palestinians and Lebanese for allegedly using civilians as human shields - allegations that don't stand up too well under scrutiny - knowing all the time that its own army has a well-documented and ongoing policy of using Palestinian civilians as human shields for IDF military operations in the Occupied Territories.

I don't have anything new to say about the absurdity of Israel's position on this, but I'm posting new incidents as they are captured on film, with the intention of eventually consolidating them into a comprehensive post on the subject. I have documented earlier incidents in posts here and here.

The most recent incident involves Israeli soldiers forcing two youths to stand in front of their armored vehicle to protect it from stone-throwers, during an arrest operation in Nablus on 11 April 2007. (Hat tip, vittorio. Grazie!).

This very pro-Palestinian writer even has an editorial denouncing antisemitic rumors online making up false quotes from Sharon, etc. He defends Jewish leaders from libelous information that is spread all over the place like jam on bread. But he will never appear on the editorial pages of any American newspaper. If the Washington Post wants a proud Muslim who is also clearly capable of reasoning and clear writing, I offer the editors there this particular writer. And then there is always

lovely Riverbend!

It is estimated that there are at least 1.5 million Iraqis in Syria today. I believe it. Walking down the streets of Damascus, you can hear the Iraqi accent everywhere. There are areas like Geramana and Qudsiya that are packed full of Iraqi refugees. Syrians are few and far between in these areas. Even the public schools in the areas are full of Iraqi children. A cousin of mine is now attending a school in Qudsiya and his class is composed of 26 Iraqi children, and 5 Syrian children. It’s beyond belief sometimes. Most of the families have nothing to live on beyond their savings which are quickly being depleted with rent and the costs of living.

Within a month of our being here, we began hearing talk about Syria requiring visas from Iraqis, like most other countries. Apparently, our esteemed puppets in power met with Syrian and Jordanian authorities and decided they wanted to take away the last two safe havens remaining for Iraqis- Damascus and Amman. The talk began in late August and was only talk until recently- early October. Iraqis entering Syria now need a visa from the Syrian consulate or embassy in the country they are currently in. In the case of Iraqis still in Iraq, it is said that an approval from the Ministry of Interior is also required (which kind of makes it difficult for people running away from militias OF the Ministry of Interior…). Today, there’s talk of a possible fifty dollar visa at the border.

She is now one of millions of refugees. She is a splendid writer and not embarrassed to be talking to or hanging out with Muslims. I would strongly suggest the editors of the WP hand over their entire editorial page to her and Lawrence of Cyberia for one day. Just one day! Is that totally impossible?

Schumer And Feinstein Betray Constitution And Voters

November 3, 2007

Elaine Meinel Supkis

Thanks to Hitler and 2,000 years of persecution of the Jews by the two other religions they gave birth to, we can't talk reasonably about the Jewish people. I was Mrs. Levy for many years plus I come from, on my father's side, a German/Jewish background. Hitler would have killed me if he could. So I have a right to talk about the Jewish situation in the United States. The sudden reversal over the Jewish Attorney General nominee by two Jewish Senators, Feinstein and Schumer, shows clearly how Jews in our government are sticking together even in the teeth of severe disapproval of the voters at large in their own states over any issue concerning power of Princes.

I got this email this morning that is moot since last night, these two Jewish Senators suddenly threw in the towel:

From the ACLU: Mukasey has not only refused to state whether waterboarding is torture when authorized by the U.S. government, but he also refused to say whether it is illegal for foreign countries to commit acts such as waterboarding, electric shocks, beatings, head slaps, and induced hypothermia on Americans.

The attorney general is supposed to enforce the law, not equivocate and dance around clear-cut legal issues. Yet Mukasey has evaded straight answers -- not only on torture -- but on government spying as well. Under his theory, any restrictions on unfettered spying that Congress passes may be meaningless, since Mukasey believes the president has power to engage in domestic wiretapping without a warrant and outside the law.

Take Action: Tell your senators Mukasey can't dodge torture and spying questions.

Over and over again, the Democratic party which is mostly run by the Jewish sector in our national politics, for example, Hoyer is a dual citizen of Israel, the constant betrayals by this sector of everything the voters flocking to the Democratic party want, is classic. Let us go backwards in time here: Katrina. The head of Homeland Security is, like Hoyer, a dual citizen of Israel. He wrote up big parts of the Patriot Act before 9/11 and was ready to fight to put in place these draconian laws and was rewarded for helping cover up the 9/11 complicity crimes of Rice and Bush. He got to run the internal Soviet controls he helped set up in the former United States of America.

When he failed miserably to protect anyone during Katrina, his non-Jewish underling in FEMA was fired after the media, heavily controlled by other Jewish interests mocked and abused Brownie while Chertoff was allowed to skate free and suffered no consequences from that disaster. Universally, people react to pictures of this man negatively because he looks like Darth Vader or Skelator, two evil cartoon/movie characters. He is so frightening, he is kept out of the news and few pictures appear of this glowering, glaring monster. No matter how necessary it is for the head of Homeland Security to appear in public, he is kept under wraps like the statue of Justice when Ashcroft was Attorney General.

During all the hearings about 9/11 and Katrina, etc, I kept expecting Chertoff to be raked over the coals and then, like the Catholic Hispanic Attorney General, removed. But he felt no pressure and continues to haunt the halls of Unconstitutional Authority with hardly a whisper of dissent from the Democratic leadership which is very Jewish considering that Jews are only 3% of the population.

I get in my emails, daily appeals from these same leaders asking me for more money so they can stop the bad things in our Imperial Government. They want me to imagine, if I give them more power, they will be able to stop the bad things from happening. Many Americans in the Democratic Party are very angry about torture and imperial power of the Presidency. Pretending they want to stop all this is the Big Lie these Zionists are pulling on me now. I am not a Zionist despite my Jewish background and this irritates me greatly. They have the votes to filibuster monsters like Mukasey. Mukasey is for torture for the simple reason, this is necessary if the Zionists need to do something very nasty to Muslims in this huge war they are now waging as they colonize Muslim lands in the Middle East. They torture in Israel, not that the tiniest news about this ever appears in the US media, and they NEED to torture here, too. Thus, the anxiety about this issue.

A classic Friday data dump from Zionist supreme, Schumer of NY:

SCHUMER STATEMENT SUPPORTING JUDGE MUKASEY TO BE NEXT U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL

I will support Judge Michael Mukasey for Attorney General.

I have spent the last nine months doing everything I can to get new leadership at the Department of Justice and I believe the job will not be finished until we get a strong and independent Attorney General. I believe Judge Mukasey is that type of person. Should we reject him, it is almost certain that an acting, caretaker Attorney General will take office without the advice and consent of the Senate. Inevitably, that would enable those in this administration, who do not believe in the rule of law, and have done things that caused even former Attorney General Ashcroft to threaten resignation, to have the complete upper hand.

Only a strong and independent Attorney General can return the Justice Department to what it once was, and should always be. Under this administration, that nominee will certainly never share our views on issues like torture and wiretapping. The best we can hope for is someone who is independent, has integrity, will put rule of law first and, above all, will clean the stench of politicization out of the Justice Department. I believe Judge Mukasey will be that type of Attorney General.

Kucinich should call in aliens to abduct Democrats like Schumer who have gone schizophrenic. Kucinich has been trying to impeach Cheney and Bush for...hold onto your hats, everyone....VIOLATING THE CONSTITUTION! When Schumer talks about 'not believe in the rule of law' he is refering to things that are IMPEACHABLE TODAY. Will Schumer support this? No?

Of course not! He has zero interest in fixing the Constitutional mess we were bequeathed by the Supreme Court in 2000 when they voided counting of votes in Florida! And Mukasey, is he 'independent'? I would suggest, he isn't even serving the USA. And indeed, at the very root of many of our impending disasters there are people who don't care about the USA all that much, they consider this a home base for other loyalties, other agendas that often are not in the public interest. This is a problem not just with Jews but with many people. Indeed, the problem of the US is partially the entire concept of being an immigrant nation. Are people here for short-term, self interest or are they CITIZENS who, and I assure everyone, my ancestors were quite clear about this, do they throw aside allegiance to former rulers or powers?

For the citizenship ceremony is all about swearing fealty to this nation and giving up serving other powers! Otherwise, we would have closed our borders centuries ago. The independence of this judge who has jailed lawyers for representing Muslims in terror cases, is fake. He serves the Jewish nation before this nation which is why he is so glib about basic Constitutional powers and RESTRICTIONS. Like Chertoff, he is OK with the end of our basic human rights which our founding fathers thought were of primary importance.

To have a fair and OPEN trial and NO TORTURE is one of the TOP things in our government, not the BOTTOM. The fact that this Jewish radical squirmed and lied when under direct questioning about torture means he is planning to torture, not restore our civil liberties he and his gang took from us after 9/11. In my mind, he is a terrorist bent on destroying America itself for America is the Constitution, not the flag.

Schumer:

This is an extremely difficult decision. When an administration, so political, so out of touch with the realities of governing and so contemptuous of the rule of law is in charge, we are never left with an ideal choice. Judge Mukasey is not my ideal choice. However, Judge Mukasey, whose integrity and independence is respected even by those who oppose him, is far better than anyone could expect from this administration. He is recommended by and reminds me of Jim Comey, another Bush nominee who—while he didn’t agree with us on the issues—showed the kind of independence and integrity this department needs.

I would also like to say something about torture, particularly waterboarding. I deeply oppose it. I supported Senator Kennedy’s amendment in 2006 and am a co-sponsor of his bill in this congress. Unfortunately, this nominee, indeed any proposed by President Bush will not agree with this. I am, however, confident that this nominee would enforce a law that bans waterboarding as I hope it will.

What did the financiers of Schumer say in NYC? Did the big guns in AIPAC and the many rich contributors to the Democratic Party who are Jewish here in my state call Schumer and tell him they were OK with this Jewish guy, hey! One less Goy to deal with while running things? That they will secretly do things by plotting behind everyone's back since this guy is one of them and not an outsider.

I lived deep inside the Jewish community in NYC and knew many Jewish politicians. I was their liason to the black community. Fights over civil issues led to a complete breakdown between myself and Mayor Koch to the point that he would call me names or run away if he saw me approaching. After the Dinkins mayorship, the other minorities of NYC have been pretty much cut out of the political scene by the Jewish operators. This is so naked now, when a Hispanic Catholic ran against a Jew, the media turned their backs on any actions of the Catholic while singing the praises of the Jewish candidate to the heavens. Guiliani was a Catholic and they figured, we had a black then a Catholic, time to reassert control which they had from Beame to Koch, over 20 years.

Frankly, ethnic/religious politics is at the root of politics in mega-immigration NYC and in meetings behind closed doors, we discuss these realities all the time. It is part of the plotting for alliances and deals, I know this presonally, having played the game at the very top of the pyramid when I was Mrs. Levy and therefore, allowed inside these deals. Now that Jewish politicos have a grip on nearly all levels of power in NY including the gov. as well as other high offices such as Senator, etc, they don't want us to talk about religion, ethnic power and block voting by minorities to keep control. This is VERBOTEN for obvious reasons. They hope no one will notice.

This is happening in California too. The same mechanisms and schemes are being used to cut into Hispanic power while playing ethnic politics. This is why, this month, NY's govenor has been peddling the drivers licenses for illegal Hispanics [and a host of illegal Israelis, etc]---it is a sop thrown to a rising ethnic group that might grow restive and run off to the GOP if the Republicans weren't so difficult, themselves, about illegal immigrants! Note too, the GOP leaders also want to coddle illegals but are forced down by their own supporters at home.

Note how Hillary suddenly supported making illegals legal via driver licenses, too. She was told at the top meetings in Manhattan, this was a sop to throw to the Catholic voters. Even as their political power is clipped, the Jews doing this will like to keep the base happy enough so they continue to vote Democratic despite the lack of real representation.

Back to Schumer's two-faced lies: So what if Bush sends one Darth Vader after another to be Attorney General? Can them all! Throw them out! But I suspect that Schumer is hinting that there will be a deal somewhere. Backroom deal, of course. The American people won't know a thing about who is doing what or why. I will assume that many of the most odious parts of our new Soviet System will remain firmly in place when AIPAC Hillary takes over or even if Catholic Guiliani gets the top position.

By the way, AIPAC is still in legal trouble. Rice and Rumsfeld will have to testify about all this and this is important to the Jews and I strongly suspect that the sudden rush to put a Jew in charge of the government's prosecutorial team is very much part of this AIPAC trial. The Jews involved in the outing of Valery Plame got away with that crime thanks to nice judges and nice people protecting them as they did the dirty work for the Prince who happens to be Bush. And Bush is a very good Prince, note how he has made it possible for Jews to stomp all over the Middle East with total impunity.

Note how they are unable to impeach him. Bet that if he reversed himself on this issue, he would go down instantly just like Nixon.

Schumer:

This afternoon, I met with Judge Michael Mukasey one more time. I requested the meeting to address, in person, some of my concerns. The Judge made clear to me that, were Congress to pass a law banning certain interrogation techniques, we would clearly be acting within our constitutional authority. And he flatly told me that the President would have absolutely no legal authority to ignore such a law, not even under some theory of inherent authority under Article II of the Constitution. He also pledged to enforce such a law and repeated his willingness to leave office rather than participate in a violation of law.

Judge Mukasey is a lawyer’s lawyer. He will not leap to quick judgments. When we want him to do so, such as on torture, we will be disappointed. But when he resists those in the administration who want quick and facile answers, so they can get their way, so they can roll over civil liberties and blot out separation of powers, it is they who will be disappointed.

I realize that, should he become Attorney General, Judge Mukasey and I will disagree on many issues. I have told him that I will battle just as fiercely against him as I did against previous Attorney Generals when we disagree.

These are troubling times at the Justice Department. We cannot afford or allow the department to languish and limp along for the next 14 months. I deeply esteem those who believe the issue of torture is so paramount that Judge Mukasey’s views on it should be the sole determinant of our vote. But I must respectfully disagree. The Justice Department is a shambles: politicized and demoralized. The belief and hope that Justice Mukasey, with his experience, independence and integrity, can restore the department motivates my vote.

Waterboarding has been recognized as cruel and unusual punishement for over 100 years in US courts. Holding Padilla [a Catholic] without trial while torturing him for years was totally and utterly and completely illegal and unconstitutional since 1789. Did this Jewish judge rail against these things based on AMERICAN history? Why does Congress have to pass a law saying that torture that was illegal 100 years ago is still illegal?

IT IS ALWAYS ILLEGAL! It never was 'legal' at all! And if Congress passed a law making this legal then the Supreme Court should have chucked it out the door.

And Chuck Schumer knows this. I know he knows this, I know him. This enrages me more than anything else he wrote. How dare this recent immigrant [less than 100 years in this country] tell another fairly recent immigrant [whose family wasn't here when my family chased out the Tories for being traitors] tell me that Congress must forbid specific tortures? HELL'S BELLS! These men are aliens who don't understand the Constitution of the United States and BOTH should be impeached along with war criminals, Bush and Cheney.

Here is a little bit of history of my German/Jewish side of the family and my feelings about Mittel Europa and how all this impacts on the US today:

My father's side of the family comes from the forests and mountains of a very troubled and complex part of Europe, the birthplace of some of the most conflicted and disturbed people on earth: the borderlands where Bohemia, Bavaria and Österreich converge. The name 'Meinel' is the Austrian/Bavarian version of the name, 'Meine'. I grew up playing the insutruments made by my relatives in Germany, I visited some of them many years ago on the border of Germany and Austria. The intersection of the Protestant/Catholic/Jewish/Orthodox and Muslim religions in the history of the fascinating and bizarre Empire/Duchy/Kingdom of the Hapbergs and like a wellspring, the culture of this central turning point of culture, art and historyreaches across 100 years of bloody history to dig its talons into our minds even today.

From the Jerusalem Post:

It's a list of "the world's most powerful people," 100 of the bankers and media moguls, publishers and image makers who shape the lives of billions. It's an exclusive, insular club, one whose influence stretches around the globe but is concentrated strategically in the highest corridors of power.

More than half its members, at least by one count, are Jewish.

It's a list, in other words, that would have made earlier generations of Jews jump out of their skins, calling attention, as it does, to their disproportionate influence in finance and the media. Making matters worse, in the eyes of many, would no doubt be the identity of the group behind the list - not a pack of fringe anti-Semites but one of the most mainstream, glamorous publications on the newsstands.

Yet the list doesn't appear to have generated concern so far, instead drawing expressions of satisfaction and pride from the lone Jewish commentator who's responded in writing.

For many years, the only Meinels in the USA were my great grandparents and my father's brothers and their families. The family came to America because of a marriage that crossed cultural lines: my great grandfather married a Jewish woman who changed her name and dropped her identity and both came to the US during the great European migrations just before WWI. Both were artists, musicians. Everyone in the family has leanings towards science, art and music.

But the Jewish connection was concealed carefully from my father and his siblings because of fear of racism and religious bigotry. We were raised in a classic Viennese household. Everyone played more than one instrument and sang. I played the violin, cello, pipe organ, harpsichord and piano. A brother played French horn, a sister played the flute, piano and composed music, another sister played the 12 string guitar and the sitar and so on. We grew up with operas playing at many opportunities and were encouraged to participate in performing in operas or going to them.

We were drenched in music from the golden era of Middle European arts and music. Anything having to do with the misty, murky world of Vienna and that era tugs at me like the distant moon rules the emotional tides of mighty oceans that froth and crash on the rocky shores of the soul. The cultural attainments of the Jewish minority is directly connected to that far away time and place even today. The fear that the Jerusalem article refers to is, of course, the Nazis whose leader came out of this same region and who turned into a monster quite rapidly at the conclusion of the terrible end of this empire: WWI.

This article in Israel won't get any mention in the US media. Indeed, it is an article of faith that no one is supposed to notice the very heavy influence a very tiny minority of Jews have on our cultural and financial affairs. If anyone mentions that Jews control a great deal of our media, for example, Sumner Redstone is very Jewish and has changed his name to hide this. Hollywood is utterly dominated by Jewish individuals who control booking and financing movies, etc. Directors, actors, script writers, etc, have many Jewish representatives. Secretly, they are all very pleased with this but out front, extremely paranoid.

This leads to a horrible situation whereby, if anyone mentions the obvious fact that Jews have tremendous influence in our cultural and financial lives, they are called 'anti-semitic' and if anyone points out that Jews pour in huge sums of money into our political system or that they are only 3% of the population but are nearly 30% of the holders of higher offices, one is called and 'anti-semite.' Even this frank Jerusalem Post article dances away from that fact, falsely claiming that Jews don't openly seek political power. Even as many Jews work hard to control world politics so they can get away with blatant ethnic cleansing, they need to think that this is all rather accidental and the world is on their side and wants them to do the horrible things they are doing in Palestine.

Which takes me back to Austria and the End of Empire there: before WWI, Germany was fairly uniform, France had very slight differences in language, culture and history, ditto, England. Many countries to the west of Austria were settled along fairly reasonable lines concerning language and culture except for a few hot spots like where Germany, France and the Low Lands converge or the Irish and Scots versus England. But Austria was a wild patchwork quilt of severely different languages, cultures, histories, ethnic types, writing systems, all of whom were products of thousands of years of wars, invasions and migrations and massacres.

And deeply embedded in all this was a large and fairly free Jewish community that was invited in and more or less protected by the Babenbergers, the founding rulers of Austria. There is even a place called 'Judenberg' which was favored by Leopold the Glorious who granted them many legal protections including the very important one concerning collection of debts for the Christians would be tainted by handling gold as loans and could not charge interest but Jews could, being considered demonic and doomed to hell, anyway. Europe sent out wave after wave of crusaders to the Holy Land and most didn't make it there or did much fighting against well-armed and quite fearsome Muslim warriors. Instead, they contented themselves with ravaging Jewish communities that were thoughtfully scattered all over the entire former Roman Empire by the Roman authorities a thousand years earlier.

But the Jews in Austria were not ravaged. If they were menaced, the Duke would protect them and the Liechtenstein family was set in charge of doing this and they kept their watch as best they could. So Jews in Austria were not like the ones in England, for example. The Romans sent Jews there, too. But King Edward I confiscated everything they owned and kicked them out. Some went to Spain and others went to Amsterdam, another place, like Austria, that protected Jews from many of the horrors of Christian rule. Indeed, just like Muslims today try to oppress religious minorities such as the Shi'ites in Iran are doing to minority religions there, Europe did this too. The places that protected Jews became the centers of banking over the centuries due to the curse laid upon bankers.

And the habit of making money, using money magic and understanding how these things operate, things like compound interest, for example, is very much connected to the Jewish world to this very day. All this is quite accidental since before the Roman diaspora, Jews were not known for their financial skills or wealth at all. the Phillistines of Palestine were known for this. The Phoenicians, in other words. They sailed from India to England long before the Roman Empire. Many 'Jewish' beliefs and systems of magical thinking come from the Phoenicians of Palestine. The Jewish desert tribes who came originally from the earliest of cities, Ur, lived uneasily cheek to jowl with the Phoenicians in that narrow valley. And the Phoenicians not only were sailors, unlike the Jews, they were astronomers. For they needed the stars to sail to distant lands, they didn't just hug the shores, they were quite fearless sailors.

The words I write here were invented by them. They also believed that the letters they used were magical and so were the numbers. And when they played with both, they not only communicated information and tracked stuff and made contracts, they also could warp reality and change the course of events in various ways. This is why we use the word 'spell' when talking about writing and doing magic. The combination of chants, random chance throws of various things like knuckle bones with dots on them and lining up numbers and dates of events is a deep part of magic for them and it is all over our present religious systems. This is why the Bible is filled with magic numbers, for example.

When Christians ended paganism at the beginning of the Dark Ages (great name for that time) they became very superstitious and at the same time, lost much of the pagan magic knowledge including understanding money and how it can be made to work beyond a very constricted fashion. In other words, money was used in the simplest way possible: as decoration or as status symbols. Coins nearly vanished and the same was true of writing skills and a host of other things. But NOT in the Jewish community! For the diaspora forced them to cease being farmers and city people in one small corner of the Middle East. It forced them to stretch their connections and to pass information and trade with each other over great distances.

They became Phoenicians, in other words. The need to pass on information via books became very important. So learning didn't die in the tiny Jewish communities. They read books avidly and worked on using numbers and on figuring out how to do business in a very hostile atmosphere filled with ignorant thugs out to rob and abuse them. This changed the Jewish culture significantly. And to this day, that firey crucible still creates a powerful minority of Jews who are very intent on making sense of magic, music, art and the political skills one needs to survive by their wits.

In my financial writings, I talk alot about magic. Sometimes people think I am totally insane about this but I seriously do believe that the connection between magic and money is very great. A famous Jew born and raised in pre-WWI Vienna, Dr. Freud, got that half-way when he said that money is connected to the anal functions of the body. The religious outcast status of the Jewish community of Europe is outstanding. Not only were the only ones allowed to do even the most primitive forms of banking, they were unable to carry gold about in big chests like the knights and kings and Christian merchants who could hire merenaries. If a Jew hired Christian mercenaries, the chances they would rob their employer and get away with the murder was very high.

So using the magic of writing and numbers, Jews were forced to do financial business long distances using pieces of paper that held promises and suggested types of payments and schedules of payments and since money couldn't be deposited directly with the Jews doing all this but had to pass through some very unreliable hands, the Jews developed all sorts of clauses of protection in the hopes this would cut losses somewhat. To riddle these things out required skills which we call 'lawyer' skills which were quite unlike the 'lawyers' of Medieval Europe. Namely, instead of reciting old Roman laws and Christian customs which was mostly memorization, the Jews had to remember and think through various potential problems and then circumvent them or render them 'legal' or 'illegal' within their growing banking system they were forced into.

The Christians would write rules and have trade deals but whenever they went bad, the old system of 'loot, rape and kill' would reappear with shocking suddeness. This even happened after WWI. The Jews neither caused nor prosecuted this war any more than any other minority group but the need to loot someone after the war was lost was very great and of course, when the Great Depression came, the Jews became obvious targets for refreshing the treasury by looting, raping and killing the Jews. The fact that this happened in Austria was a real shock. For the Jews there came closest to full legal and social civil rights than any other nation including the USA at that time! They didn't have to be seen as open agent of destruction, the mere idea that they have a magical connection with the creation of money and were therefore, demonic and connected with dark forces little understood, was sufficient.

The news today from Turkey depresses me. Jews were, for over a thousand years, the money bridge between Islam and Christian worlds. Whether in Venice or Seville, Amsterdam or Constantinople, since they were not part of the two battling giant religions, they could pass through walls, they could drink from both cups and they could make deals. Which again, causes suspicion and a belief that Jews are manipulating people for their own ends. Which is true, by the way. Of course, they were forced to do this!

But Jews today want to prevent people from thinking this even as they madly manipulate everything they can get their hands on! This is why the media cannot and will not and will even attack anyone who suggests that Jews who are rich are also powerful and wield great power for their own ends! Yet the end which they seek is to own the Holy Land and also, control all the empires so the empires protect them like Leopold the Glorious of ancient Austria. One of the many actions taken by the greater Jewish community today is to close off all venues for plays like the Rachel Corrie play about how the Israeli Army murdered her, for example. Or preventing a former President, Jimmy Carter, from talking about Jewish Israeli Apartheid policies. The repression of anyone mentioning anything about the increasingly fascistic and anti-humanist activities in the Zionist adventure is driving the entire Jewish community straight to where the darkest cave of all is: the Holocaust.

As Jews work frantically to stop any expression of anti-semitism, they end up endorsing and enforcing no freedom of speech or assembly. The imprisonment of Irving, the writer who questions details about the Holocaust, is just one example of the destruction of the freedoms we should protect, not end. His martyrdom makes things worse, not better. Imprisoning young German males for singing 'Happy Birthday, Hitler' isn't going to decrease hatred of Jews. Stealing olive trees from Palestinian farmers won't make things friendly for Jews in distant lands nor does this protect them from future dangers.

The atmosphere of danger coupled with increasing freedoms that created the amazing cultural community of the Fin de Siecle Mittle Europa Jews is so strong, the Jewish creative community still has power from it but as they cling to the notion of being landlords of the Middle East, the more they lose this tremendous cultural knack, this great gift. It is passing rapidly as they turn from drawing up laws that are fair and protect business to drawing up regulations that helps them loot everyone and destroy the economic base of any country sheltering them.
