War And Peace

Ethnic Warfare Is A Dangerous Weapon

March 30, 2008

Elaine Meinel Supkis

Even as globalization and the imperial overreach of the US/NATO empire violently impose planetary rule, the US and Europe endorse, support and protect ethnic/religious cleansing and tribal warfare. They do this for very cynical reasons: divide and conquer. Controlling thousands of ethnic enclaves that hate each other but accept a tiny minority of ruling elites to run things, is the ideal situation as far as this reincarnation of earlier European empires is concerned. But this is also backfiring. The same forces being encouraged by the ruling elites to control the 'peasants' is catching fire at the very heart in this huge imperial conglomerate. This is all connected with the concept of 'free trade' and 'international banking'. There is a cultural war brewing. And it is very explosive.

Dalai Lama Says 'Demographic Aggression' Is Making Tibetans a Minority in Their Homeland

"There is evidence the Chinese people in Tibet are increasing month by month," the Tibetan spiritual leader told reporters in a Saturday news conference.

He says that in Lhasa, the region's ancient capital, there are now 100,000 Tibetans but twice as many outsiders. The vast majority of those are Han Chinese, the country's ethnic majority.

The Dalai Lama's comments come as diplomats were preparing to leave the Tibetan capital after a quick overnight visit, the latest move by China to show it is in control of the region after deadly anti-government protests more than two weeks ago.

At last, the Dalai Lama admits the riots were not about the Chinese government oppressing the Tibetans. It was all about ethnic cleansing. For many centuries, the Tibetan people lived in this backwater that was no longer part of world trade or commerce with other cultures. In 1200 AD, the Mongolian hordes swept into Tibet and killed virtually everyone. They then established headquarters there, they like isolated postings that are at the intersection of major trade routes. The Silk Road was very important back when sailing was dangerous and uncertain. The movement of silks and fine wares from China to Europe enriched the rulers of Tibet. But then it all fell totally apart, quite suddenly.

Once ships could sail around Africa, they established a direct route to the eastern shores of China which is where all the industry was. Within a few generations, the more expensive Silk Road commerce collapsed. The Han Chinese could do direct trade with their European customers. From 1500 AD onwards, Tibet fell into tremendous poverty. The only profits to be made, for the most part, was from exploiting the peasants and enslaving them. Vicious internecine religious battles raged. Time flew past Tibet that stayed frozen in the past. The kingdom turned violently inwards just like the Japanese did during the same time. Both ran cruel social systems that brutalized the peasants who lived in terrible poverty. These various 'hermit kingdoms' that were now cut out of world commerce, all stagnated. And then the doors were pried open by the European Powers.

Japan reacted the swiftest: embracing the entire system of technology, learning and combat, the Japanese surged forwards at astonishing speed. Tibet, on the other hand, continued the habit of driving out or killing any travelers who stumbled across their prison community.

Over the years, outsiders managed to come in. Sniffing around the edges, the players of the Great Game scoped out Tibet to see if it had any value. The Manchu rulers let the Europeans know that Tibet was part of the Chinese Empire. But the European powers were out to destroy the Chinese Empire so they nibbled at the edges as well as directly attacking the heart of the empire. After the looting of Beijing, they turned their energy towards finding some use for Tibet. The difficulties of transportation held this process back.

It wasn't until modern trucks could move things swiftly, that anyone could conquer Tibet. The Chinese learned difficult road building skills fighting the Japanese and each other during the first half of the 20th Century. Using this, they built roads into Tibet. My parents were operating often on the borders of Tibet during the 1950s and onwards. They talked about the dizzy switchback roads and driving in a jeep 'held together by bubble gum plugging leaks in the gas tank and chicken wire'. Communications systems were virtually nonexistent back then. They used short wave radios. And when they entered Sikkim, it was one of the first times Westerners were allowed as guests into the kingdom.

The terrible conditions they found in the Himalayans was stark. Simple first aid was virtually unknown. The rulers of these kingdoms lived in palaces with many slaves and servants but had virtually no social systems. And the length of life for the peasants was short and brutal.

Today, we see the media pushing this story about the monks of Tibet fighting for freedom. But they are no more fighting for freedom than the monks of Japan when they did suicide rushes at armies as they tried to stop political change there. Like in all religious dictatorships, they have their economic needs. Like the Vatican, once trying to rule all Christians, they use the sword to gain economic rights. The Chinese government, under Mao, did attack all religions just like in Russia, the communists tried to break the power of the Orthodox Church. But as time passed, the state recognized the utility of working with religious leaders.

There is a great deal of tension at the top of the communist hierarchy over the topic of religion. The Chinese have a longer tradition of religious liberalism and skepticism than the west. The leaders are nervous about religious divisions tearing apart the empire. So they vacillate between encouraging and suppressing religious leaders. The Dalai Lama was removed from Tibet when the Chinese invaded. My parents knew him since he was a young man, of course. Since he went into exile into northern India and Nepal, he brought with himself a large community which are, of course, colonialists. Who were protected instantly by the CIA. Ahem. And given funds and assistance from the CIA. The CIA loves to play religious/ethnic politics. They picked this up from the British.

So the Dalai Lama became a political tool of the West. The West wishes to take over Tibet and use it to control the raging warrior tribes to the west of Tibet and also constrain the Chinese Empire and threaten it by probably parking missiles and other military things deep inside Tibet. Of course, the Chinese cannot allow this. It would be insane. So the pretense that we are merely 'freeing' Tibet is cover for the long-running CIA game of MILITARIZING Tibet.

Nepal crackdown on Tibet protests, 84 held

Most, if not all, of the protesters were ethnic Tibetans. More than 20,000 ethnic Tibetans live in Nepal, where many have sought refuge after fleeing their Himalayan homeland following a failed uprising against Chinese rule in 1959.

Nepal considers Tibet a part of China and does not allow exiled Tibetans to organise anti-China protests.

I will note here that the media has used pictures and films of Nepalese police actions and used them to show 'Chinese' suppressions. But the fact is, the Tibetans are destabilizing Nepal just as they claim the Han are destabilizing Tibet. They presume, like so many other ethnic cleansers, THEY may settle in the US, England or India or wherever they wish but NO ONE may do likewise in their own home base. This concept seems nearly universal with all ethnic cleansers. It is their hallmark, I might add. If the Dalai Lama wishes to have more Tibetans, he should encourage the exiles to return. Only they are quite comfortable where they now are. Indeed, the flow of people from China and Tibet is greater than the flow of Han into Tibet, I dare say. Being sensible, most people tend to want to go where there is economic opportunity. Within the Buddhist community, the leaders know where the gold is: in the West, not in Asia.

Curfew after deadly Nepal mosque bombing: official

Three blasts hit the mosque in Biratnagar, 220 kilometres (137 miles) south-east of Kathmandu, heightening tensions in the volatile region ahead of key elections next month.

"Three small bombs went off inside the mosque killing two people," senior police officer Bidhyananda Majhi told AFP by telephone.

"Muslim people started to come into the street and attacked vehicles so we have imposed a curfew to avoid communal violence," he added.
*snip*
At least 200 people have been killed in Nepal's southern plains in ethnic and communal unrest that began after the country's former rebel Maoists and government made a landmark peace deal in late 2006.

In February, political parties representing the residents of the southern region -- known as Mahadhesis -- imposed a crippling two-week general strike that saw the landlocked country's capital starved of essential supplies.

Residents of impoverished Nepal's southern belt say they have long been excluded from Kathmandu's corridors of power and want increased representation in the government and army.

Of course, the solution we always propose in these cases is break up of a nation. A minority is unhappy? Then they should disunite. The US fought its bloodiest war to prevent disunion. But we ignore this. Encouraged by US CIA support of all ethnic cleansing and breaking up of nations, many religious or tribal groups are pushing increasingly for just that. But this policy of ours has a bad side effect: the US itself sits on an ethnic/religious volcano! Many religions here hate each other and itch to tear this nation apart and have 'ethnics only' sub-empires. The collapse of liberal thought is part of this. The denunciation of people who support a-religious social systems continues here in America. People running for President must placate, help and justify various religious prejudices and powers.

As the Iraqi army's assault on Shia militias in the city falters, the government's strategy is looking to be a dangerous gamble

A US warplane strafed a house in Basra killing eight civilians, including two women and a child, Iraqi police said yesterday. The house was in the city's Hananiyah district, which is a stronghold of the Mehdi Army militia of the Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.

British forces became directly involved in the battle yesterday after artillery in the British headquarters at Basra airport fired on a mortar crew in the city. Previously, the British Army had limited itself to providing logistical and air support for the assault on the militia.

Last night, an indefinite round-the-clock curfew was imposed by Baghdad's military command in response to the latest skirmishes. "To defeat the terrorist groups, the outlaws and the criminal gangs, and to preserve the souls of our citizens, we extended the curfew in Baghdad indefinitely for people, cars and motorcycles," said a statement from the Iraqi security forces.

The internal battles ripping up Iraq continue. The US encouraged this when Iraq was ruled by Saddam. Then, when we took over just like we intend to take over Tibet, we wanted it to stop. But just like in the Himalayan communities, they can't and won't stop. Just as the end of British rule of India led to the deaths of millions in religious/race/ethnic strife, so it is in the Middle East. The US is unable to be an disinterested cop patrolling hostile communities. We take sides. And then switch sides. And this whipsawing makes things worse.

Sadr's game here is an attempt at being both a nationalist as well as a religious leader. He is not being allowed the first role due to the US empire refusing to allow Iraq to be a nation and he is in conflict with other religious leaders who are cooperating with the US imperialists. This is very much like Tibet, incidentally. Only much more violently.

Sadr orders fighters to stand down

"We want the Iraqi people to stop this bloodshed and maintain Iraq's independence and stability," al-Sadr said in a statement released on Sunday.
"For that we have decided to withdraw [al-Sadr's Mahdi Army] from the streets of Basra and all other provinces."

At least 270 people have reportedly died since an Iraqi military crackdown in Basra sparked fighting across the country.
*snip*
In an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera on Saturday, al-Sadr called on the Arab League, the Organisation of the Islamic Conference and the United Nations to recognise "the Iraqi resistance".

"I appeal to these parties to add legitimacy to the resistance and to stand by, not against, the Iraqi people because the Iraqi people need Arabs as much as they need any other person," he said.

"The occupation is trying to divide Sunnis and Shias. It is trying to drive a wedge between Sadris and the Sunnis. I love the Sunnis. I am a Shia, but we are all Iraqis.

"Iraq is still under occupation and the United States' popularity is reducing every day and every minute in Iraq.

"I call, through Al Jazeera, for the departure of the occupying troops from Iraq as soon as possible."

His nationalist call for sovereignty will be ignored by the other players. They all want to see if they can manipulate the US into supporting a dictatorship just as England and the US supported previous dictators. Using the US troops as the boogey man is most useful, too. They can claim they are victims of the cruel invaders while at the same time, looting their own country which isn't a country at all. Various ethnic groups will vie for favors from the empire and consolidate power at the expense of the American invaders. Sadr's home-grown self support system is endangering this looting operation.

Al Jazeera:

Mr Sadr told al-Jazeera TV yesterday that Arab leaders meeting in Damascus should support the "resistance" to US occupation. The leader of the most powerful political movement in Iraq draws his support from the Shia poor, while his rival, the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council (SIIC), is supported by Shia clerics, merchants and property owners. The Sadrists-SIIC rivalry is behind the timing of Mr Maliki's Basra assault. Though he said it was aimed at all militias and illegal armed movements, the attack has only been against the Mehdi Army and not against the Fadhila party and the SIIC, which both control parts of the city. The SIIC is now the main support behind Mr Maliki.

The timing of this week's attack may also be explained by the decision this month, at the prompting of US Vice-President Dick Cheney, on a visit to Baghdad, to hold provincial elections. The US aim was to allow the Sunnis, who boycotted the last polls in January 2005, to win control of their provinces. But elections also threatened the SIIC's grip on councils in southern Iraq because the party has become increasingly unpopular and the Sadrists were expected to win at the polls.

Sadr will be suppressed like all popular leaders in the Muslim world. The US supports the suppression of peasants all over the planet...except in China and Russia! There, they support popular uprisings. This pick and choose technique is classic imperialism and is taught in our highest universities where the people who intend to run this empire are educated. Oddly enough, China is the main supporter of state sovereignty. Or rather, this is the sane thing for them to do. The US supports dissolving states and replacing them with shattered, hostile enclaves that need US military power to communicate with the outside world.

The hermit kingdom of Saudi Arabia has withdrawn from interfacing with fellow Muslims at this summit that isn't a summit. They fear open borders and democracy. They are quite content living under the wing of the Empire which enforces and protects their tribal/ethnic cleansed kingdom. They are troubled by all the aliens they have brought in as semi-slaves or conduits with the outside world. But they can spend all their energy on controlling these people since the US empire protects THEM. They fear, above all, the peasants and other natives who teem below in the slums and streets of Arab nations. They do not want sovereignty, they want to rule as despots, not lead nations. In this, they have signed their death warrants. They will eventually be dragged down as soon as the US empire goes bankrupt.

I have no idea anymore, what the rulers of Saudi Arabia are thinking. If they think at all at this point! Certainly, by giving up leadership, they have simply put themselves into deeper jeopardy. For this is exactly what Osama Bin Laden predicted they would do! And as they withdraw, they lose legitimacy. Hamas has picked up the mantle of legitimacy and is gaining ground by the day just as Sadr's popularity is growing.

Israel splitting Palestinian territories into cantons: Abbas

"Israel is continuing its aggression, its occupation, the construction of settlements and the Judaisation of Jersualem," Abbas told the opening session of the Arab summit in Damascus.

"The solution which Israel is designing consists of a group of cantons on a land separated by settlements, the separation wall and roadblocks," he said.

"This type of solution only reinforces the occupation and colonisation and is aimed at preventing the creation of a independent Palestinian state," Abbas added.

The Zionists go to great lengths to insure gridlock. This is because gridlock gives them time to 'make facts on the ground' which is fancy talk for 'steal everything they want and then some.' The desire to do the sort of ethnic cleansing the Han are being accused of is very great. The Jews want to flood Palestine with Jews and thus, drive out the natives. Unfortunately, this scheme has a flaw: the Palestinians retaliated by having many children. The Irish did this to the British colonizers of Ireland, for example. They multiplied. The British fixed this by eliminating a third of the population by forcing them to emigrate or starve to death. And I know that the invaders of Palestine know their history very well. The Nazis had to be openly vicious about this sort of ethnic cleansing. But the British did it in a more passive way. When the potato harvest failed, they let everyone die. Simple as that.

Anyway, if there is some way of preventing the Palestinians getting anything, the Isreali Jewish negotiators will latch onto this. Note how the land seizures and barriers are being increased and strengthened. If any are reduced, they pop up double in number, elsewhere. This game looks cute to the negotiators who are not honest. But it is very bad for the Jewish people who are being viewed as cruel and manipulative. A stereotype of anti-semitism. But fixing this stereotype by acting exactly like it isn't going to end anti-semitism. And anyone talking about all this is instantly accused of anti-semitism! But I will say it anyway.

3 Interlocking Peace Negotiations Put Israel, Palestinians at Impasse

The first, U.S.-backed talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority aimed at creating a Palestinian state, have been knocked off course by violence in Gaza City and mutual accusations of broken promises.

The second, negotiations mediated by Egypt between Israel and Hamas that are geared toward ending the Gaza attacks, began in earnest only this month but is already eliciting deep skepticism from both sides.

And the third, efforts to reconcile Hamas with the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority, could jeopardize the other two if they succeed, although that appears unlikely.
*snip*
The closest thing to progress in any of the talks came in the past week when representatives of Fatah and Hamas announced in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, that they had negotiated terms for holding more negotiations. The next day, however, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas disavowed the agreement, and his representative in Sanaa acknowledged that he had signed the deal by mistake.

The very fact that Abbas and his allies are considering a compromise with Hamas reflects their disenchantment with the offers they are getting from Israel, according to Menachem Klein, a political science professor at Israel's Bar-Ilan University.
*snip*
As part of the peace process, Israel was supposed to take down the obstructions, eliminate illegal settler outposts and stop construction of new settlements. None of that has happened, a fact that rankles Palestinian Authority officials who are looking for goodwill gestures that will help convince a disenchanted Palestinian public that talk -- not violence -- pays off.

"The model in the West Bank is not working. If it is, somebody please tell me, because I need to tell the people," Salam Fayyad, the Palestinian Authority prime minister, said in an interview in his Ramallah office. "It's critical that there's progress to take us out of the corner we're in."

Abbas is already viewed as a clown. Signing a contract and then disavowing it probably brought many a bitter snark in Palestine today. The fact that he has gained virtually nothing in all the time he has ruled Palestine [except for Gaza] as a dictator placed there by the US and Israel cements his place in history next to Quisling. In Arab lands, I'm sure that people doing this sort of betrayal will be called 'Abbas'. Fayyad is a failure. The Palestinian people know that there is no other road but violence. They are at war. Just as the Tibetans feel they are at war and violence is the only answer. The West agrees! Natives being invaded by alien colonialists have a right to revolt! And we should boycott nations supporting the invasion of native lands...hahaha. And of course, the good old business of total hypocrisy raises its ugly horned head. The PLO is in a corner. Not Hamas. Hamas ranges about in the streets. As the Israeli Jews try to kill them off, their ranks swell and their strength grows. For they are warriors doing battle, not Quislings destroying their own people. They, like the Sadrists in Iraq, offer sovereignty and hope, not slavery and poverty.

I put up this comment at the Washington Post web page:

The US should NEVER endorse ethnic/religious cleansing. The fact that all our major politicians support this on behalf of the Jewish voters here is most dangerous. For there are many people in America who seek ethnic and religious cleansing here!

The entire idea of 'one religion/one state' is tremendously destructive. Yet the US has many military units set up to support the Saudi religious dictatorship as well as monetarily and diplomatically supporting ethnic cleansing in the Middle East by Zionists.

And we now are supporting ethnic cleansing in Tibet. The Tibet riots are actually race riots aimed at eliminating the Han who now live there. We support colonialists entering Palestine and pushing out the natives but we are outraged by Chinese Han moving into Tibet which is part of China!

This craziness is totally counter to the foundation of the USA: we are the MELTING POT. Not the 'do not enter' land.

3 Rip-Off Amigos In Florida Steal $800 Million

March 27, 2008

Elaine Meinel Supkis

Yet another strange story about arms dealers, this time, who were young Jewish men under the age of 21 who were selected by the Pentagon to supply ammo for Afghanistan. Seems they went into the murky world of Albanian and other arms dealers in order to buy out of date, dangerous ammo. The Pentagon then paid huge price hikes on this ammo which had to be destroyed. The NYT has covered this story today and it is making very tiny waves in the media. The rapine of the American taxpayer by traitors continues, of course. We aren't supposed to talk about this, of course. But this is what is bankrupting us? We don't make ammo anymore? What the hell?

22-year old awarded $300m Pentagon contract, according to report

The Pentagon entrusted a 22-year old previously arrested for domestic violence and having a forged driving licence to be the main supplier of ammunition to Afghan forces at the height of the battle against a resurgent Taliban, it was reported today.

AEY, essentially a one-man operation based in an unmarked office in Miami Beach, was awarded a contract worth $300m to supply the Afghan army and police in January last year.

But as the New York Times reported in a lengthy investigation, AEY's president, Efraim Diversoli, 22, supplied stock that was 40 years old and rotting packing material.

"Much of the ammunition comes from the aging stockpiles of the old Communist bloc, including stockpiles that the state department and Nato have determined to be unreliable and obsolete, and have spent millions of dollars to have destroyed," the paper said.

I do hope these three young traitors and the dad who sponsored them are arrested. The looting of the US taxpayer has gotten entirely out of control. On top of this, the fact is, we are bankrolling the world's most inept and expensive military on earth. And we used to not only be a manufacturing giant, we supplied most of the ammo during WWII as well as the Vietnam war. So why do we have to hire middle men or in this case, middle juvenile delinquents in order to supply ammo? What on earth has happened to the military/industrial complex? IS IT GONE????

House panel to examine Afghan arms contract

The army suspended AEY from future contracts during the course of the investigation - although it continues to fill existing orders. The Times said Diversoli was unaware of the action although he was to be formally notified yesterday.

Until then, however, Diversoli appears to have had a good run. He told the Times his firm had won contracts worth $200m each year since 2004. AEY also supplied weapons and ballistic vets to US government agencies, as well as rifles to Iraqi forces.

$800+ million???? To these infants? And he thinks this is funny? The US has turned itself over to not only offshore pirates who then are being rescued by us after they sink our economic banking system, we also are supplying funny money to a bunch of rapacious arms dealers??? Arrest everyone involved in this!

How DARE the Pentagon destroy our own arms markets by offshoring our military purchases! How DARE they outsource our arms in this fashion! How DARE anyone in Congress allow contractors to loot the public purse in this outrageous fashion! How DARE they!

My fury over this is for obvious reasons: the right wing neo cons, many of whom are supporters of Likud, have assured us that we would save money and be richer if only we outsource much of our military procurement and even the troops. Under cover of this program, a looting expedition has been mounted by all and sundry. In this case, it is totally insane and outrageous. But across the board, it is the SAME! ALL of the corporations and entities and people involved in looting the taxpayers has used wars in the Middle East as cover for enriching themselves at our expense. And boy, is it ever expensive!

Now, nearing a trillion dollars a year! The neo cons keep pointing to Social Security as the place where we will get into financial trouble. But that keeps Americans safe and alive! The military spending, on the other hand, is totally destructive. Our inept military can't win battles nor wars. They are spread across the earth as targets and aimlessly mill around until they are blown up. Meanwhile, the suppliers think this is an excellent opportunity to rip us off and hand off defective goods that kill our soldiers. How many soldiers died because of this trio of traitors, for example?

My Space page for this craven young pirate:

The details in this story are infuriating. The kid was probably told, 'You can make lots of money cheating America. Have fun.' What sort of father would say that to his child? As the US can't raise troops for these useless wars, these traitors protect their own children and then loot us! Arrest them.

All My Sons: Crook Sells defective Arms To Afghan Anti-Terror Forces Under Bush's Auspices

Michael Diveroli, Efraim’s father, had incorporated the company in 1999, when Efraim was 13. For several years, a period when the company appeared to have limited activity, Michael Diveroli, who now operates a police supply company down the street from AEY’s office, was listed as the company’s sole executive.

In 2004, AEY listed Efraim Diveroli, then 18, as an officer with a 1 percent ownership stake.

The younger Diveroli’s munitions experience appeared to be limited to a short-lived job in Los Angeles for Botach Tactical, a military and police supply company owned by his uncle, Bar-Kochba Botach.

Mr. Diveroli cut off an interview when asked about Botach Tactical. Mr. Botach, reached by telephone, said that both Michael and Efraim Diveroli had briefly worked for him, but that after seeing the rush of federal contracts available after the wars began, they had struck out on their own.

“They just left me and took my customer base with them,” he said. “They basically said: ‘Why should we work for Botach? Let’s do it on our own.’ ”

As Efraim Diveroli arrived in Miami Beach, AEY was transforming itself by aggressively seeking security-related contracts.

It won a $126,000 award for ammunition for the Special Forces; AEY also provided ammunition or equipment in 2004 to the Department of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Transportation Security Administration and the State Department.

By 2005, when Mr. Diveroli became AEY’s president at age 19, the company was bidding across a spectrum of government agencies and providing paramilitary equipment — weapons, helmets, ballistic vests, bomb suits, batteries and chargers for X-ray machines — for American aid to Pakistan, Bolivia and elsewhere.

YOU CAN BET, POLITICIANS WERE BRIBED! And the connections that gained these fraudulent contracts were paved by many 'contributions' to the appropriate people. The complex of relations involved probably are very deep and should be pursued. Who introduced whom? Is AIPAC involved? How about anyone in the Israeli government? No ordinary person can go into international arms trade without letters of introduction or Mafioso-type connections. And within the Jewish community, there is a lot of this. In spades. Ask Mossad.

The international arms business operates partly in the light and partly in shadows, and is littered with short-lived shell companies, middlemen and official corruption. Governments have tried to regulate it more closely for years, with limited success.

As Mr. Diveroli began to fill the Army’s huge orders, he was entering a shadowy world, and in his brief interview he suggested that he was aware that corruption could intrude on his dealings in Albania. “What goes on in the Albanian Ministry of Defense?” he said. “Who’s clean? Who’s dirty? Don’t want to know about it.”

The way AEY’s business was structured, Mr. Diveroli, at least officially, did not deal directly with Albanian officials. Instead, a middleman company registered in Cyprus, Evdin Ltd., bought the ammunition and sold it to his company.

The local packager involved in the deal, Mr. Trebicka, said that he suspected that Evdin’s purpose was to divert money to Albanian officials.

The purchases, Mr. Trebicka said, were a flip: Albania sold ammunition to Evdin for $22 per 1,000 rounds, he said, and Evdin sold it to AEY for much more. The difference, he said he suspected, was shared with Albanian officials, including Mr. Pinari, then the head of the arms export agency, and the defense minister at the time, Fatmir Mediu.

(Mr. Mediu resigned last week after the ammunition depot explosions; Mr. Pinari was arrested.) The Albanian government has been infuriated by Mr. Trebicka’s allegations. Sali Berisha, the prime minister, Mr. Mediu and Mr. Pinari all denied involvement in kickbacks. But Mr. Trebicka said that after he raised his concerns about Evdin with the Defense Ministry, his company was forced from the repackaging contract.

On June 11, 2007, Mr. Trebicka and Mr. Diveroli commiserated by phone about problems with doing business in Albania. Mr. Trebicka surreptitiously recorded the conversation, and later gave the audio files to American investigators.

The conversation, he said, showed that the American company was aware of corruption in its dealings in Albania and that Heinrich Thomet, a Swiss arms dealer, was behind Evdin.

Just the other day, Steve Forbes, one of the stupidest rich people on earth, praised Albania as a shining model for the US to follow. Indeed, we certainly are following Albania...down the drain. The recent explosion in Albania killed people. And these cashes of unstable weapons were being exploited by Jewish arms dealers to cheat the Pentagon. And see how that looks? It looks awful. Where are our patriots? Why aren't they howling about this?

The silence on the right is amazing. They love to wave flags but collapse whenever real treason is done. Like when Reagan ran off to Japan to collect his $2.5 million in bribes. Asleep at the wheel, they are.

This isn't raising huge waves. As usual. Of course, I must thank the NYT for breaking this story. If only they also connect all the dots. Maybe some day they will have a great story about the USS Liberty attack!

Out of the shadows

As the head of Mossad, Efraim Halevy presided over some of the most ruthless and controversial decisions in Israeli history. Now retired from the elite intelligence agency, he tells Con Coughlin in Jerusalem about those murky years of spying and assassination - and why he has no regrets

I include this because the boy in the fraud/rip off story is probably named after this guy. I suspect there are other connections but right now, they are hidden from view. So time to talk about Israel in the news! Indeed, it is often in the news...overseas. Here is a Jewish news story written by a liberal Jew in Israel:

Israel Update
Situation in Gaza is complicated.

Israeli public opinion on the Gaza dilemma is coming into focus thanks to a Ha'aretz-Dialog poll published on Wednesday. 64% of all those asked support holding direct talks with Hamas in order to obtain a ceasefire and the release of captive soldier Gilad Shalit. This includes a surprising 48% of Likud voters and an overwhelming 72% of Labor voters.
*snip*
Regarding the Israel-Palestinian negotiations, presentations by Olmert, Livni and Peres followed a consistent mantra. There are close to equal numbers of Jews and Arabs between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. With that reality in mind, the only path to a Jewish, democratic state is a two state solution. As Livni told the delegation: "We are not doing it for the sake of the Palestinians and not even for the sake of the Americans. We are doing it for our own sake and future." That statement, along with a sense of urgency, really sums up the thinking of the current government. Remembering the days when the proponents of a two-state solution where in the Israeli and Jewish political wilderness, it does feel good to belong to the majority.

Deputy Prime Minister and Shas leader Eli Yishai spoke to the Conference while through the newspapers Netanyahu and other leaders of the Israeli right were calling on him to bring down the Olmert government by leaving the coalition. When pushed by questioners after his presentation as to why indeed he won't pull out of the government and block the peace talks, he had ready answers. First of all he said, Shas stayed in the government while then Prime Minister Netanyahu was negotiating with the Palestinians at the Wye Plantation talks, so why is it so urgent that they leave now. He then gave the answer that ends the conversation and drives a secular democrat crazy: Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the Shas Ultra-Orthodox spiritual leader, will decide when it is time to bring down the government, not him.

Palestinian Prime Minister Dr. Salem Fayad's presentation drew particular interest as it was the first time the Conference has ever hosted a high-ranking Palestinian figure.

The Jewish people are very concerned about creating a 'democratic' state that gives them a majority lock on the laws. The fear is obvious: they have to create some sort of 'state' so they can expel the remaining Palestinians. But if they do this, Palestine will be stronger. So they want a ghettoized Palestine under their collective thumbs. This cruel solution means destroying democracy in Palestine. The vote for Hamas has to be nullified somehow. The rump state Israel is willing to give Palestinians is similar to the rump state Hitler gave the Czechs. A meaningless, militarily helpless half-state. Then, wiping their collective hands, the Jews who eliminated the natives can sit down and have a feast. Perhaps, they can sell us lousy bullets at double the price they paid to Albania.

Shiite militia counters army offensive in Iraq

Thousands of supporters of the powerful Shiite cleric Moktada al-Sadr and his Mahdi army militia took to the streets of Baghdad on Thursday to protest the Iraqi Army assault on the southern port city of Basra, as intense fighting continued there for a third day.

In Basra, there seemed to be no breakthrough in the fighting by either side. As much as half of the city remained under militia control, hospitals in some parts of the city were reported full and the violence continued to spread. Clashes were reported all over the city and in locations about eight kilometers, or 12 miles, south of Basra.

Militants also attacked the U.S-protected Green Zone in central Baghdad on Thursday, and the U.S. Embassy said one American government employee was killed, The Associated Press reported. It was the second death inside the Green Zone since frequent attacks against the area began Sunday, when an American financial analyst was killed. The State Department ordered all personnel at the U.S. Embassy to remain inside reinforced structures.

The US occupation of Iraq, on the other hand, is collapsing. The US pushed the Shi'a President to confront al Sadr. And this seems to not be working. Probably due to crummy weapons bought at a tremendously high mark-up. The Green Zone is being hammered now. I suppose, this is due to the insurgents having better international arms dealers.

Thursday: 222 Iraqis, 1 US Soldier, 3 US Contractors Killed; 338 Iraqis Wounded Every day, American soldiers, despite all the armor, are dying. Many more are wounded. This charade will go on forever. If we don't stop. It seems so utterly hopeless. On top of this, the war is costing us an arm and leg at home. And not just due to craven youth playing international arms dealers with taxpayer dollars.

Gunmen blow up oil pipeline in Iraq's Basra

Gunmen blew up an oil pipeline in Zubair area west of Basra on Thursday morning, a local security source said.

"A powerful explosion rocked the town of Zubair, 20 km west of Basra, in the morning when unknown gunmen blew up a major oil pipeline," the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.

A huge fire was ignited by the blast while a column of black smoke rose over the area, the source said.

Fire fighters rushed to the area to put out the fire, while Iraqi security forces cordoned off the area to secure the scene, he said.

Every month, our rulers assure us that oil prices will go down. War criminal Cheney and his gang of neo con men and Condi Rice trot off to the Middle East to crawl on their bellies before the royals there, begging for cheap oil. And then turn around and push for more war on behalf of Israel. Israel is very keen on us cornering and attacking Iran. And since we get to pay for all of this, they are content. But we are going bankrupt. When oil hits $200 a barrel due to our wars on behalf of people who don't care if we live or die, meaning, the Israeli Jews, the Sunni kings and other dictators we support, eventually we will figure out that we are gaining nothing and losing our shirts here.

OIL FUTURES: ICE Brent Crude Up $1 On Iraqi Pipe Blast

Crude oil futures climbed over $1 in London trade Thursday as traders reacted to news of an explosion on a southern Iraq pipeline that is expected to crimp the country's oil exports.

Prices had been trading lower ahead of the news from the Iraqi oil hub of Basra, with traders continuing to follow moves in the U.S. dollar as the main driver of crude oil prices.

But any further weakness in the dollar, combined with developments in Iraq, could add considerable upside pressure to oil prices Thursday, analysts said. "The Basra headline came out as the dollar is coming under some intraday pressure," says Oliver Jakob of Petromatrix.

"Basra will add fire to fire if the dollar continues to be pressured." At 0933 GMT, the front-month May Brent contract on London's ICE futures exchange was up $1.12 at $105.11 a barrel.

The US stock market, after some joy over a $400 billion bail out, is now heading back downwards as we expect. And gold, which soared to $1025 before the bail out and then collapsed to nearly $900 is now heading back upwards rapidly. The people who bought at the bottom are probably grimly happy over the windfall this commodity collapse gave them. I hope they enjoy it.

I, on the other hand, have to watch the bottom line. And that is bad news, all around. I say, we should withdraw our troops from the entire planet, bring them home, stop all the contracts to war mongering teenagers and their craven fathers and rethink how one must run a military. The present system is destroying America, not protecting us. And the ONLY reason to have ANY military is to protect us, isn't it?

Israel Makes American Passports

March 26, 2008

Elaine Meinel Supkis

Just amazing: not only is the guy put in charge of America's security an Israeli citizen, it turns out that the Jews in Israel also got control of the production of our passports! Congress and the State Department claim, this saves us money and besides, due to our third-world status, the US doesn't have the encryption systems to do secure passports so the Israeli Mossad gets to make them for us! This is ridiculous as I will happily explain. Not only that: all aliens should be instantly REMOVED from all positions of sensitivity for our security. Especially those who want us to be egged into wars in the Middle East. Time to look at 9/11 yet again.

Outsourced passports netting govt. profits, risking national security

Each new e-passport contains a small computer chip inside the back cover that contains the passport number along with the photo and other personal data of the holder. The data is secured and is transmitted through a tiny wire antenna when it is scanned electronically at border entry points and compared to the actual traveler carrying it.

According to interviews and documents, GPO managers rejected limiting the contracts to U.S.-made computer chip makers and instead sought suppliers from several countries, including Israel, Germany and the Netherlands.

Mr. Somerset, the GPO spokesman, said foreign suppliers were picked because "no domestic company produced those parts" when the e-passport production began a few years ago.

After the computer chips are inserted into the back cover of the passports in Europe, the blank covers are shipped to a factory in Ayutthaya, Thailand, north of Bangkok, to be fitted with a wire Radio Frequency Identification, or RFID, antenna. The blank passports eventually are transported to Washington for final binding, according to the documents and interviews.

The stop in Thailand raises its own security concerns. The Southeast Asian country has battled social instability and terror threats. Anti-government groups backed by Islamists, including al Qaeda, have carried out attacks in southern Thailand and the Thai military took over in a coup in September 2006

So, anyone want GERMANY to be in charge of our internal/external travel systems? And Israel? ISRAEL???? Are we insane? Well, yes. When Congress aided and abetted the Israeli coup here when they helped install Mr. Mystery Man, the Head of Homeland Security after Ridge was shoved out the door before Hurricane Katrina, the present head is Chertoff, a man who could be Lenin's stand in or perhaps, play a movie villain with his skull-like, grim face. We never see this creature in the news. He lurks in the dark and issues dark warnings about how we might be attacked. He is NOT a full American citizen. He is an Israeli who has an American passport. And here we are, handing over all the physical powers of our passports to the Mossad in Israel. I am betting, around 100%, that the company making the passports for us is run by Mossad agents.

And they forge foreign passports. For many, many years. And now, they don't have to worry about this. They make them for us so they have an infinite supply of materials with which they may pass out to anyone they want including to terrorists. Time to review some of this ugly history:

Passport to Terror

Israel's underground passport factory – a threat to US national security

In April I wrote about the "passport farm" Israeli agents set up in New Zealand, in which four employees of the Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, were caught trying to obtain a New Zealand passport in the name of a housebound paraplegic. (I updated the story here.) Uriel Kelman and Eli Cara were arrested, in a much-publicized case, and jailed, while Prime Minister Helen Clark openly raged against what was undoubtedly an Israeli intelligence operation. Since then there have been a few rather interesting, albeit ominous, developments.

It turns out that the ringleader, Ze'ev William Barkan, who fled before New Zealand security could nab him, was and presumably still is a member of the Israeli diplomatic corps, having served at embassies in Vienna and Brussels. He was last seen in North Korea, traveling with a Canadian passport as "Kevin Hunter," where he turned up in Pyongyang as a "consultant" brought on to help the North Korean government build a "security fence" in order to keep their people in. Now that the East Germans have wound up in history's dustbin, the Israelis are the current experts in the field.

Before handing off our national security to Israel, did Congress and the State Department investigate this business? I knew about the New Zealand crimes some years ago but when I googled for it, I found NO US MAJOR MEDIA reports. And this is no surprise. The people manipulating our media deliberately ignore Israeli Jewish crimes that involve Mossad or any crimes committed against the Palestinian people. We get all the gruesome details of the riots in Tibet but not in Nepal, of course. But the big black hole of news surrounding any undercover or even overt actions in Israel is nearly total in the West. And this is malicious and deliberate.

The fact that the western media, namely the Moonie-owned Washington Times, broke this story is interesting to me. The passport story was not broken by the NYT or Washington Post. Both are tools of Israel. It will be interesting to see tomorrow how few papers and media cover this amazing and utterly enraging story. The New Zealand story was buried and the only people to keep it available via google are ones like Antiwar.com. A few websites still struggle to tell the truth. But not nearly enough.

This reminds me that the treason trial of the heads of AIPAC are also not in the news. Tiny, poorly written bulletins appear on the back pages with no comment. The trial seems to be heading towards a totally stupid conclusion. To protect secrets that all the Jews in the government of Israel already know, but Americans don't know, can't be used in this trial so it will be declared a mistrial? HAHAHA. Right! They dare not let Americans know what the hell is going on between the US and its controlling powers over in Israel.

This is running alongside increasing calls for the USS Liberty sinking/massacre be reexamined. The major media simply pretends there is no story. McCain's dad is the one who performed the whitewash for that crime. Will the media ask him about this matter? Of course not. They exist to patrol the perimeter of politics for anyone who sees what is going on and to destroy or repel that person. As this news service clearly sees in past reports. It is anti-semitism to point out that Israel may have committed a war crime when they strafed and sank a neutral power ship during a war. And they tried to kill all the sailor. Either they face up to this crime or at least we have an open examination that is broadcast in all the news services. This includes many survivors who want desperately to be in the news before they die of old age.

Or the mother of Rachel Corrie who is also boycotted by the news.

'Mossad spies' jailed over New Zealand passport fraud

July 16 2004

The prime minister of New Zealand angrily denounced Israel and imposed diplomatic sanctions on it after two suspected Mossad agents were jailed for six months for trying on false grounds to obtain a New Zealand passport.
The plot, which involved obtaining a passport in the name of a tetraplegic man who had not spoken in years, provoked a furious reaction yesterday.

"The breach of New Zealand laws and sovereignty by agents of the Israeli government has seriously strained our relationship with Israel," said the prime minister, Helen Clark.

"This type of behaviour is unacceptable internationally by any country. It is a sorry indictment of Israel that it has again taken such actions against a country with which it has friendly relations."

High-level visits between the two countries will be cancelled, visa restrictions imposed for Israeli officials, and an expected visit to New Zealand by Moshe Katsov, the Israeli president, later this year has been cancelled.

The Guardian carried this story. There is a tiny bit more real news overseas. In Israel itself, some Jewish media are brave and carry real news. We get it from the Jerusalem Post or Ha'aretz, for example. And I am grateful for this. But whenever the story is 'bad' it is censored by our own media. I suppose the idea is, the outsiders of the Tribe are to be kept in the dark. And this is totally wrong and utterly evil and is warping our nation's politics. The shocking news today should be debated by all the AIPAC-vetted candidates for President, the ones who swore fealty to Israel. They now must choose.

How dare they or Bush allow this?

MOSSAD

Mossad's original motto: be-tahbūlōt ta`aseh lekhā milkhamāh (Hebrew: בתחבולות תעשה לך מלחמה, "For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety." - Proverbs XXIV, 6 or the more recognised translation "By way of deception thou shalt make war") was changed recently as part of the Mossad's public 'coming out' to another Proverbs passage: be-'éyn tahbūlōt yīpōl `ām; ū-teshū`āh be-rōv yo'éts (Hebrew: באין תחבולות יפול עם, ותשועה ברוב יועץ, "Where no counsel is, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety." - Proverbs XI, 14)
*snip*
In 1973, Ahmed Bouchiki, an innocent Arab waiter in Lillehammer, Norway, was killed. He had been mistaken for Ali Hassan Salameh, one of the leaders of Black September, the Palestinian group responsible for the Munich Massacre, who had been given shelter in Norway. The Mossad agents had used fake Canadian passports, which angered the Canadian government.

In 1981, fake British passports were discovered in a grocery bag in London, leading to a diplomatic row with Israel over Mossad involvement in an attempt to infiltrate China.

There! I have some proof that in the past, Mossad used fake passports to commit crimes, illegally enter nations to do nasty things, etc. So this is a total security breech! And it gets nastier. The Atta gang that engineered 9/11 were being trailed by Mossad. Of course, the facts about Daniel Lewin has been utterly submerged since 9/11. I noted it often over the years but even the people who get all hot in the pants over the possibility that 'bombs' destroyed the WTC fail to remember this much more important information.

Israeli hero of Flight 11 - Daniel [Danny] Lewin - murdered while battling hijackers on September 11th

Israeli Daniel Lewin - murdered while battling hijackers on Flight 11 on
September 11th

Excerpt from "Year to the Twin Towers Disaster" Yediot Ahronot, Seven Days
Magazine Section 6 September 2002 translated by IMRA [with apologies for
previous error - the Hebrew text affords no ability to differentiate between
"Levin" and "Lewin" and a check of Google found entries in newspapers and
other sources with the incorrect "Levin" spelling].

"Danny Lewin was the first victim of the biggest attack in history that
morning, in which almost 3,000 people died. An internal memorandum of the
Federal Aviation Administration sets that in the course of a struggle that
took place between Lewin, a graduate of Israel's elite commando unit,
Sayeret Matkal , and the four hijackers who were assaulting that cockpit,
Lewin was murdered by Satam Al Suqami, a 25 year old Saudi.

According to the news that week back then, the stewardess [who comes from not far from where I live] called headquarters to report that the hijackers killed a man and she gave his seat number. THEN they attacked the stewardess nearby. But they reached out and killed this top Mossad expert who was trained to deal with hijackings in particular. Isn't it a totally bizarre coincidence that he was sitting right next to them?

Of course, he was shadowing them. The speed at which they dispatched him showed that they were quite aware as to his identity. Yet nothing has been made of this matter. There has been no 'conspiracy theories' surrounding this matter. It is rather bemusing to me. From day one, I yelled about this in vain. According to the news, he was NOT in the cockpit fighting the terrorists. They nailed him while he was still in his seat which is why the stewardess could clearly see his seat number and report it. I linked to this Jewish site to show how they also need to bend reality to suit fantasies. The need to think that he was accidentally sitting right next to the hijackers and then sprang into action to save everyone is important for the theology of 'good guys' rather than the much darker story of him thinking the jet would be simply hijacked and flown somewhere safe.

390 CIA Torture Flights In Germany Alone

July 11, 2007

This camouflaging of an illegal kidnapping as a rescue flight was no isolated incident. SPIEGEL has obtained complete lists of the flight plans of secret CIA flights in German airspace, which reveal 390 takeoffs and landings of CIA aircraft at airports in Germany between 2002 and 2006. The documents also show that mis-identifying the flights was part of a system designed to dodge compliance with complicated approval regulations.

These deceptive maneuvers by the CIA have become the subject of intense scrutiny and debate within German political circles — from the Ministry of Transportation and the LBA to the Chancellery. Soon a parliamentary committee set up to investigate the German foreign intelligence agency (or BND) will also take up the matter. On Thursday the committee appointed Joachim Jacob, a former federal data protection commissioner, as special investigator on the issue of secret CIA flights. Jacob’s job is to determine how much the German government knew about the flights, which European Council investigator Dick Marty has called a “series of illegal acts” by the CIA.

I include all this to show that we are utterly stupid to hand over our passport making to the Germans. And to point out who has turned into the Soviet Union in the first place: the US itself. We have used the excuse of terrorism to act like criminals. And at the same time, we are doing not only absolutely nothing to secure America, we sent away not only our troops and much of our military equipment but even our National Guard that has been protecting us for 200 years, they are far from home!

And in Iraq, we are fighting Al-Sadr now. And this is pure madness. I will note here that Israel itches to start a war between us and Iran. Between Iran and Saudi Arabia. Iran and Iraq. And to do that, they need fake passports and Mossad agents pretending to be terrorists. And this will be the ultimate black bag ops in history.

After all, WWI started with a mere assassination. The stage is set for Act III.

A World Tour Of Ethnic Religious Battles

3/23/2008

Elaine Meinel Supkis

As the West is all aghast about Tibet, it pays to take a peek a world news to see where else there are ethnic/religious struggles that strive to fracture the world's nations into smaller and smaller units. The biggest empire on earth is the USA that used its armed forces to prevent the South from separating, then turned them against the native populations, dispossessing them of their lands and driving them into ghettos. And now, is doing this in the Holy Land to the natives, there. And all sorts of religions and ethnic groups are turning violent and if they fight our empire, they are called 'terrorists' but if they fight our rivals, they are 'freedom fighters'. Meanwhile, the push to have confrontations between the Great Powers using these struggles as proxies endangers all humanity. For this can cause a world war.

Car bomber strikes Iraq army base

The day's violence began when the heavily fortified Green Zone inside the Iraqi capital was targeted by two waves of mortar attacks.

There were no reports of casualties but at least 10 blasts were heard in the area in central Baghdad, starting shortly before 6am on Sunday, while helicopters were seen circling overhead.

Let's start with the US annexation of Iraq. Like the Chinese invasion of Tibet, the US took advantage of internal weaknesses within Iraq to launch this annexation. Unlike Tibet, the natives are resisting or manipulating the invading force so that the US has gotten dragged down in this literal hell. The pain and suffering caused by this illegal invasion based of spurious and ultimately, false charges, is now viewed by much of the planet as a war crime. The US, undaunted by this, still feels we have the right to criticize anyone imitating us. The 'surge' used bloody military force and bribes to bring a false peace. But that has collapsed and now, every day, 1 to 5 US occupying military forces die as the Iraqis break out a renewed resistance to US military domination. Sadr has thrown away his truce and now the sneak attacks are moving beyond a few bombings to outright military confrontations. The fact that Cheney, a rank war criminal worse than Saddam, just visited, means full-out assaults on the Green Zone which is where the US crouches on its haunches.

Pelosi joins with the representative of the former religious dictatorship of Tibet, the Dali Lama, to demand freedom from foreign domination for Tibet but this woman will not stand beside Sadr who has just as much religious and moral legitimacy as Sadr. She won't demand our own military withdraw from Sadr's homelands! Even if the majority of her own constituents demand this, SHE will not demand this. Her family makes money off of our military adventures so she wants more of the same. And forget asking this powerful woman to demand the Muslims in the Holy Land get their lands back from European and American colonial invaders!

Indeed, the problem with ALL the present ethnic rebellions is this: they all want to drive away colonialists from other ethnic/religious groups! And this is true everywhere. In Tibet, innocent Chinese who were Han, were mobbed and killed or beaten by mobs of Tibetans. Many Han stores were burned and looted. This sort of thing is a common feature of ethnic wars. Time to look at the news:

Here is the Google search for 'American soldiers killed March:

Note the sparse number of news media carrying this story. As we approach 4,000 dead as we try to do what China does a lot less violently, we don't even bother with publishing the continuing bloodshed anymore. Why is the US concerned about how many Tibetans died this month but not how many Americans? Is there some psychological glitch here? Or are our own dead an embarrassment? So we look away. We don't want to know that our own soldiers are dying. Chinese soldiers were being attacked in Tibet just like our own occupying troops. There is one gigantic difference: in Iraq, when our soldiers are attacked, we fly jets over Iraq and drop BOMBS on homes and kill thousands of innocent civilians.

We are doing this fighting the religious believers in Afghanistan, too. That is, killing innocent villagers because we want to subdue the natives who are religious followers of people we hate! And note that China allows us to do this. China isn't boycotting the US for doing all these military crimes. We can kill many thousands of civilians and China lets us do this without any moral hypocritical comments.

Heavy Taliban losses claimed

Dozens of Taliban fighters have been killed by Afghan and Nato forces in Uruzgan, a southern Afghan province, Afghanistan's defence ministry says.

The ministry did not give an exact number of those who died on Sunday, but released information stating that the man commanding the group was also killed.

The three war mongers running for President wave flags and shout fealty to Israel while no one, not in our media or elsewhere, shows any serious concern for the soldiers we are using as if they are Chinese military troops suppressing Tibetans. Only we are a lot nastier than the Chinese military. So far, they haven't bombed anyone with robot-controlled missiles or assassinated many resistance leaders and their families. Such as we tried to do in Somalia, Africa, recently. Killing some women and children and their goats.

Kurds killed in Turkey protests

Hundreds of Kurdish protesters have thrown stones at police and soldiers in southeastern Turkey, in the fourth day of clashes that have killed at least two people and injured dozens of others.

Authorities banned gatherings in several cities after celebrations to mark the Kurdish New Year, or Newroz, turned violent.

One person died from a bullet wound in the town of Yuksekova, in southern Hakkari province, where riot police clashed with hundreds of protesters who took to the streets in defiance of the ban on Sunday, hospital sources said.

Turkey is an ally of the US, part of NATO and a friend of Israel. So we don't notice this news. The US supported Kurdish uprisings when Saddam was the target of their ethnic ire. But now, we don't want them to do things in Turkey so we allow the Turkish army to invade Iraq and attack the Kurds. Who are doing exactly what the Tibetans are doing. Of course, many European as well as American political pundits will make fun of the Turks acting like American and European invaders of Islamic countries. They are barbarians, of course, unlike the US and European empires! We kill because we are good!

Tuaregs attack Mali troops

Suspected Tuareg rebels have ambushed an army patrol in northern Mali, wounding at least four soldiers, according to a Mali military official.

The attack triggered fierce gun battle on Sunday in the northern sector of the Kidal region close to the Algerian border.

All over America, people are convinced that we have to save Darfur. But this isn't as simple as demanding we save Tibet. Note that the Tuareg are an ethnic/religious group that also wants to do exactly what the Kurds want to do. The Tuareg are raiding/herding tribalists who roam huge areas that used to be open range but now are chopped up BY EUROPEAN IMPERIALIST INVADERS into four countries. The tribal conflicts they have with farming tribes and trading tribes is ancient and legendary. But in the US, many a liberal is all agog about this. While we do NOTHING to stop our own raids, bombings and military crimes against a host of tribes, nations and ethnic groups, these liberals want us to stop the various tribal wars in sub-Saharan lands?

ETA bombs police barracks in northern Spain: authorities

A car bomb exploded Friday at a police barracks in northern Spain's Rioja region following a warning from the Basque separatist organisation ETA, injuring one person, authorities said.
The blast in the town of Calahorra came as hundreds of people were in the streets for a traditional Easter Holy Week religious procession, which had just concluded.

And the Basque are like the Kurds, Tibetans and Tuareg: they are tribes who lived in the mountains and were herder/hunters, etc. I knew Basque shepherds. They taught me all about sheep. The Kurds were great shepherds, too. So are the tribes in Palestine who are being driven out of their lands by invaders. The invaders always claim, 'They had no lands, they are not a people, they have no cities.' And if they have cities, then these are declared, 'They aren't civilized.' Or perhaps, the cities shun foreigners and have to be opened up like the way the US opened up Japan! Talk about a can of worms! Heh.

The Japanese didn't want foreigners. They wanted to be a pure tribal/religious community. We came with guns and told them to open up or we would kill them. They then figured out how to arm themselves very rapidly. This is the dream of all ethnic groups: to become very armed like Isreali Jews and then to use this to intimidate all other ethnic groups and thus be able to seize whatever they want!

Serbia Proposes Ethnic Division in Kosovo

The Serbian minister for Kosovo says Belgrade has formally proposed dividing ethnic Serbs and Albanians in the contested Kosovo territory.

The Serbian newspaper Politika quoted Slobodan Samardzic Saturday as saying that the proposal submitted to the United Nations Mission would create "the functional separation of Serbs and Albanians" within Kosovo.

Here is yet another flashpoint. Another clash of religions. Another ethnic background. The common theme here is, all minority groups dream of domination and control. All want to have a home base and then move freely in and out of other people's enclaves while no one can flow in and out of their own enclave. This desire is very close to the desire to have one-way trade whereby all advantages flow to the ethnic enclave at everyone's expense. This sort of thinking leads to severe break-downs in civility as well as trade. Think of Europe when the Roman Empire and then the Holy Roman Empires fell. Or Japan during the Oni War years.

Sri Lanka bombs Tiger rebels after navy boat sunk

Sri Lankan air force jets bombed rebel Tamil Tiger ground positions on Saturday after a navy patrol boat was sunk by a suspected rebel mine off the northeast coast, with 10 of the 16 crew missing and feared dead.

Pro-Tamil sources said the Dvora fast attack boat was destroyed by a suicide squad of so-called black Tiger fighters, with three rebels killed in the sea clash.

Buddhists versus Hindus, Muslims versus Hindus, Catholics versus Orthodox versus Protestants. Muslims versus Muslims. There are endless combinations of religious and tribal associations that can cause things to collapse. The desire of the empires to weaken other nations this way is a great temptation. But alas, this is one force one should fear. It is why our Founding Fathers clipped the business of religion and state, forging a wall between the two. This is why America lets anyone of any ethnic background to enter and become a citizen. This precious policy is always endangered by these ethnic wars raging elsewhere.

Armenia: Skirmishes Taint First Day After State Of Emergency

Scattered skirmishes broke out when hundreds of people gathered in downtown Yerevan to mark the end of emergency rule.

RFE/RL's Armenian Service reported that a heavy police presence greeted people who turned out to honor eight people killed when security forces dispersed opposition-led protests three weeks ago.

RFE/RL's Yerevan bureau said opposition figure Arakel Semerjian -- a relative of opposition leader Levon Ter-Petrossian, who claims his presidential bid was thwarted by official fraud in the February 19 election -- was detained by police in one of the confrontations.

Ter-Petrossian remains under de facto house arrest, his movements restricted by security forces around his home.

A senior U.S. official, speaking ahead of the lifting of the state of emergency, highlighted international concern over the risk of a collapse in that country's political dialogue, warning that Armenia still has work to do to "get back on the democratic path."

Outgoing President Robert Kocharian declared emergency rule on March 1, when fatal clashes left at least seven civilians and one policeman dead in the worst civil violence in Armenia's post-Soviet history

Here again, a remnant of the Ottoman Empire that flares into violence. I was reading a National Geographic magazine article about Bhutan which is next to Tibet. My parents were stationed there once upon a time when it first opened to the West. I have a guardian Pegasus statue from the King gave me back in 1966. Today, there is fierce anger in Bhutan over the presence of Nepalese peasants moving in. This is on the verge of turning into riots and violence. Just like in Tibet. The flames are burning in Nepal, itself. And Kashmir. As well as further south, deep into India. And we should beware of this force. It can come here with a vengeance. Look at this election and how we see the raging fires around Obama!

Obama Endorses Rank Racism In Jewish Communities

Vernal Equinox 2008

Elaine Meinel Supkis

I keep going back into this awful topic but I must do it. Today is the day that day and night are in balance. It is the changing of the seasons. And it is when the stars of the Pisces constellation begin to rise in the East at dawn. Pisces is fading fast and we are moving into Aquarius. And the constellation of Pegasus rides just above the horizon at dawn. Time to talk about racism, religion and the Holy Land. The religious wars being launched there over the eons have been many and horrible. And future wars are being brewed there. We must face the truth: we can't support racist regimes there and not have vast wars. The racist regimes are both Muslim and Jewish. And even some Christian ones. Sex and war: Venus and Mars bed together in the Middle East. And will spawn WWIII.

Rachel Corrie's Case for Justice

The darkness is infinite
As I leave the curtain's edge
It is filled with watchers
Silent judges

--Rachel Corrie, about 11 years old

In Rachel's case, all three branches of the US government have now taken a stand -- against her, and in favor of Israeli and corporate impunity. The Corries aren't deterred. "The kind of impotence in government around this whole issue, after five years with Rachel's case," says Cindy, "points to the need for people at the grassroots level to find other channels, other ways of keeping the communications open, of building those relationships that ultimately are going to lead to some change in the world."

Rachel's parents, along with many community activists, have established the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace & Justice (rachelcorriefoundation.org) and the Olympia-Rafah Sister City Project (orscp.org), local initiatives fostering exchanges and projects with Palestinians. With Gaza under siege, and Hamas declared a "terrorist organization", ORSCP faces financial obstacles, and delegates from both the US and Rafah face difficulties getting in and out of Gaza. Cindy states that the extreme difficulties "make it all the more important to keep trying to do the work. It's because it's that bad that it's so crucial for us to not just back away and say it's too hard."

Yet even on the local level, the government is a hurdle to be overcome. The Olympia City Council rejected official sister-city status in April 2007 after a concerted campaign by local activists. Despite broad community support, as well as the backing of Sister Cities International, the City Council thwarted the initiative, deferring to some in the community who viewed the Palestinians as "terrorists" and the project as "divisive." As one organizer wrote from Portland, "If Rachel Corrie's city cannot gain official recognition, then who can?" Still, the Olympia-Rafah Sister City Project, initiated by Rachel, won't go away. In the past month, two local delegates got in to Rafah to witness conditions under siege and the temporary breeching of the border wall, and to offer some slight economic relief through fair trade exchange of Palestinian embroidery, even as people imprisoned in Rafah are running out of basic supplies, such as thread, baby formula and medicines, not to mention food, water, and electricity.

Anyone who is murdered by the Israeli Defense Forces is 'disappeared' by our own government. If family members speak up, doors slam shut here in America. If the bereaved victims demand fair investigations by non-Jewish Zionists, they are told to go away, there is no need for justice. If anyone tries to get the New York Times or the Washington Post to report the story or not utterly distort it in favor of Israeli Jews, they hit a brick wall.

This bitter, ugly side of US culture and politics is a grave danger to our entire nation for it is very much attached to two very dangerous things: WWIII which is the total destruction of our nation and toxic racism. Rachel amazes me. Like myself, she looked into the Abyss and saw the truth. It is interesting that she became aware of the Watchers when only a child. I was very young when I discovered them. They are the 'eyes' of the Guardians at the Gates of Death. They operate sort of like vultures who see the future rather than scanning the desert floor for dinner. On the anniversary [which was the day before the anniversary of our illegal invasion of Iraq] of her death, we have to pause and look long and hard at the ugly tangled mess we have created in the Middle East.

Unlike Christianity, Buddhism and Islam, the Jewish faith is a racist religion more akin to Hinduism. Like the Hindus, the belief in a singular or multiple god is connected to tribal policies promoting 'racial purity.' The concept of touching or doing business with other peoples is at the center of both Hinduism and Judaism. Because both the Hindu religion as well as the Jewish one have produced some of the greatest philosophical and scientific minds in human history has clouded our view of both religions, we forget the ugly, racist underpinnings of both.

This is a very important problem: both religions, in their quest for racial purity, create havoc with anyone who tries to live around them. For example, within the Jewish tribe, we have the concept of 'kosher.' A good Jew is one who is 'kosher' and never does ANY business with food or other things with non-Jews! So they can sell outsiders food, etc. But they will never BUY food from outsiders, etc. We call this 'one way trade.' One way trade within a community means the money flows in only one direction. Over time, the surrounding community is drained of wealth. In the case of Hinduism, the invading Aryans kept their unity within a greater population by creating race laws that made the natives 'untouchables'. These untouchables were then excluded from all inter-community trade since they could eat things handed to them by the Aryans but could never do the reverse. Over time, they became very poor and politically helpless while the surrounding powers crushed them ruthlessly and reduced them to near-pure slavery.

Both religions are extremely dangerous to any democratic community unless they 'liberalize'. Both have done this to some degree. Just as the Hindus, due to losing many wars, have grudgingly accepted the superiority of their conquerers, so have the Jews over the eons. Even as they have been reduced to near-slavery under hostile rulers like the Christian rulers, the only way out of their self-imposed ghetto rules was to liberalize. This liberalization process began during the Enlightenment. As revolutionary changes swept Europe, the ghettos opened up and many a great Jewish thinker was released from the prison of thought that keeps many Jews locked away from other societies.

These people then went outwards and tremendously enriched the surrounding communities. The concept of kosher collapsed along with this outward movement. Indeed, Zionism grew up as a solution to the loss of kosher thinking. Alarmed that Jews were marrying non-Jews was the biggest motivator for Zionism. And Zionism is pure racism. In its most toxic form. In the Austrian, French and German empires, the co-mingling was the greatest. One of my own ancestresses was a lovely Jewish lady who married into an ancient Germanic family on the border of Austria and Germany. There was religious discrimination throughout Europe in the 19th Century. Unfair laws restricting Jewish participation in public affairs, etc. But the outward flow of Jews from the ghettos were breaking all of this down.

Some of the highest thinkers in the realm of civil rights, public liberties and freedoms were these Jews who overcame both their own community's racism and the religious bigotry of the Christian communities to open the doors to our joint political and intellectual freedoms! They were and some still are, the standard bearers of human freedoms and hopes for sanity and peace. I hail all of them! Thank you!

But the counterreformation was launched at the same time. Alarmed at the flight of the brightest and best, the leaders within the tribe struggled to rebuild the ghetto walls. Rich, powerful secular Jews supported this cleansing action which is why they work hard to create the Zionist dream: a totally racist state that has only one-way trade in the heart of the Middle East, crossroads of world trade!

Recently, a reporter from Israel contacted me in order to argue with me about history and religion due to one of my articles here being shown to Israeli Jews practicing ethnic cleansing. I wrote a long and interesting email back and heard nothing since then. This is easy to understand. It is hard to argue with someone who is looking directly into the tangled mess and sees all the threads! To me, all of this is very tragic. For example, many Jews think it is OK to attack me for talking about how they abused not only me but other women in my situation when married to Jewish men.

It was very racist. For example, one Israeli Jew within the family I was married refused to eat at the same table or ride in the same car because I was 'unclean.' I told him, he was a racist and should be ashamed of himself. Of course, his answer was to goose step away from me, screaming curses. When anything was handed out within the family, I and the other non-Jewish spouse were always excluded or given the left overs. 'I already picked through everything and got what I wanted. If you want anything, you can look now,' was actually said to me. I told her, 'I want nothing to do with any of this. Go away.' Far from apologizing, she shrugged her shoulders and went off, happy. And blamed me for not being nice, of course.

Needless to say, both non-Jewish spouses finally sued for divorce. It was literally impossible to interact with a family practicing outright racism. What bothered both of us was the rank discrimination against our own children, whose grandparents refused to treat equally with the 'Jewish' ones. This was very brutal and in-your-face to small children which is why I headed for the doors pretty early. Imagine making a cute little girl cry because 'I don't want to give you this toy, it is only for the REAL grandchildren.'

At no point did any of these people think they were being cruel. They were just following a cruel religion that told them to kill or shun all outsiders.

Top Yesha rabbi says Jewish law forbids renting houses to Arabs

The chairman of the Yesha rabbinical council and chief rabbi of Kiryat Arba, Rabbi Dov Lior, on Wednesday issued a halakhic ruling stating that it is forbidden by Jewish law to employ Arabs or rent homes to them.

In an interview published by "Eretz Israel Shelanu" (Our Land of Israel), to be distributed this Saturday in various synagogues, Lior said that "since this is a matter of endangering souls, it is clear that it is completely forbidden to employ them and rent houses to them in Israel. Their employment is forbidden not only at yeshivas, but at factories, hotels and everywhere."

In the interview, Rabbi Lior backed the decision made by the administration of the Mercaz Harav yeshiva in Jerusalem to prevent Prime Minister Ehud Olmert from visiting the school after an Israeli Arab terrorist killed eight students there two weeks ago. "How can you welcome a man who acts against our holy Torah and continues to lead the people of Israel toward great danger?" Lior said.

Rabbi Lior criticized the rabbis who didn't obey Rabbi Abraham Shapira, who instructed Jewish soldiers to refuse orders during the 2005 withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. "If the public had ignored the so-called "rabbis" who came out against these instructions, we may very well have spared the great pain [of the disengagement] from the people of Israel," he said.

In the United States, Jewish leaders give similar speeches. They support political candidates. They run AIPAC. They are NEVER EVER attacked by the media like the pastor for Obama! Never! Statements like the one here from Israel never make the press here. All candidates for office in the US must pass muster with outright racist Jewish preachers and virtually no one examines their past statements or actions. Indeed, no mention was made about the latest AIPAC get together. I reported back then, it made news in Israel and NOT in the US even though most of Congress and many Presidential candidates showed up and made astonishingly racist speeches.

Recently, Israeli Jews decided to purify their fascist state by removing foreign food workers who make Asian dishes. Jews today may cross the kosher line and eat where ever they wish. But this introduces into their community, outsiders who make money. The enclosed one-way cage is broken. So the racists in Israel decide to pass a law forbidding the entry of and the use of Asian cooks. I was virtually the ONLY human being in the US to notice this story last week and write about it! And the New York Times is big on Jewish news and gourmet cooking. One would imagine this huge broohaha in Israel would be 'news.'

Snap Judgment: Sushi and the Jewish Problem

Whenever I have a craving for sushi, my first choice for years has been Sakura, a restaurant in the center of Jerusalem. Though hardly enough of a Japanese food connoisseur to know how it really stacks up to the competition, I've always been reassured by the fact that whenever I walk in, there always seems to be a Japanese chef cutting the fish behind the sushi bar.

Alas, how much longer that will be the state of affairs at Sakura and many other sushi restaurants here is open to question. The government has stepped up its efforts of late to reduce the number of foreign workers in the country, both legal and illegal - a number now estimated at 150,000.

Of these, perhaps 900 are licensed foreign restaurant workers, the majority of them Asian chefs. The Interior Ministry recently announced it would cut that number down to 500 by next year.

In reaction, the Israeli Ethnic Restaurant Association has begun (no kidding) a series of one-day strikes on which customers will be denied certain dishes - spring rolls one day, sushi the next.
As if this country didn't have enough tsuris.

Well, I guess this Ahi sashimi-lover is now getting hoisted on his own, umm, sushi knife.
In the past, I've railed against the government's policy of allowing certain businesses to bring in foreign workers to do more cheaply the kind of skilled labor that many unemployed Israelis would be happy to perform, provided it paid the decent wage such positions deserve.

So, this discriminatory creep loves Asian food but wants to have ONLY Jews make it because Jews need jobs! Jews immigrate to Asia, North and South America and Europe. They hold down jobs where ever they move. And expect no discrimination. But if an Asian moves to Israel, they are non-human and therefore, have no rights. And they can't be allowed to establish a home or gain citizenship! But if the Jews need them for workers, they may temporarily come in until the Jews can expel them again! Isn't that sweet? On top of all this noxious stuff, Israel allows Jews and ONLY Jews to have dual citizenship. So they can be part of the US or Europe and still have full Jews-only citizenship rights in Israel. All this is utterly denied all Muslims and Christians as well as Buddhist sushi makers.

Now, let's go off a nasty cliff: Nazis. It turns out, Israel lets in the relatives of famous Nazis! If they marry someone Jewish, they can join in this new racist 'Lebensraum' culture. But the racism within Judaism is so great, instead of discussing this and honoring people who are clearly very troubled by German racism, they spit on these poor people:

The extraordinary metamorphosis of Hitler's nephew's grandson.

It's said that the "truth will set you free," but when an intrepid Israeli reporter browbeat Dr. Daniel Brown (name has been changed) into going public five years ago, the aftermath was traumatic. "I had always been open about my identity with both my family and friends," he recalls, "and no one had ever been less than supportive and warm. But this particular Israeli newspaper misrepresented its agenda to me. I didn't know that it intended to publicize or sensationalize my interview the way it ultimately did. The story was printed in the weekend edition of the paper, and all day long on Thursday and erev Shabbat radio commercials continually blasted every 15 minutes: Hitler's nephew's grandson -- right here in Israel -- and a Jew! The repercussions left my family shaken."

Brown's sons -- enrolled in a modern Orthodox yeshivah in Jerusalem -- were spat upon by several of their classmates and called "Nazis." A handful of neighbors studiously avoided Brown when they encountered him on the street. And in shul the Shabbat after the story aired, a number of social acquaintances who normally greeted him with hearty handshakes turned the other way.

"To these people, who had known me as Jewish for 25 years, I had become -- overnight -- a pariah," says Brown. "I thought I was sharing a valuable lesson with others: that the past can be recreated and that a person always has the opportunity to change. But actually, it was I who was taught the lesson: Some people will never let you change." (Not surprisingly Brown wanted to use a pseudonym in this article.)

This entire article left me aghast. Again, this is coming into the international news stream this last week during which the New Yorker ran a big story about photos from Auschwitz, for example. All over the media that is run by a large number of Jews, there has been all sorts of Nazi stories. But not this one. It should be tremendously interesting to the US and German people, just for example. Instead, it falls into the darkness, that huge place where all our unfortunate information lives and festers like a demonic beast in hell. The place where these stories go is where WWIII is cooking. It will all bust out at some point in the future. This is why, despite losing Jewish readers, I keep addressing this whole matter.

The collapse of our election cycles into ridiculous popularity contests that dispute NOTHING, not the economic situation, our messes in the Middle East, real racism or other important matters is due to the desire of the owners of the media to dump most everything into this deep pit of darkness where the Watchers live. I can't express my dismay loud enough, that we are in a totally dishonest discussion about racism with poor Obama. Here is an older Jerusalem Post story that was not broadcast in the US when it happened:

Obama: Palestinian refugees can't return

Palestinian refugees belong in their own state and do not have a "literal" right of return to Israel, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Monday.

"The outlines of any agreement would involve ensuring that Israel remains a Jewish state," Obama told The Jerusalem Post and other members of the Jewish and Israeli press on a conference call. He reiterated his support for a two-state solution, but said, "We cannot move forward until there is some confidence that the Palestinians are able to provide the security apparatus that would prevent constant attacks against Israel from taking place."

His conversation with reporters and his support for the Israeli position on refugees came on the heels of scurrilous charges that Obama is secretly a Muslim who received a radical Wahhabi education.

Not only are many Jews racist, they are very racist around blacks. And the double whammy of race and religion is very potent in this regard. I remember, being part of the Jewish community, back in the sixties, huge supporters of civil rights laws who were Jewish would, at home with the tribe, talk very racist about black people. I witnessed this and would protest this. They would look at me like I was some sort of talking chair or lamp. And then ignore me again.

The one thing the Jews who support racism wanted from Obama was a verification for ethnic and race cleansing. He gave them this. First, how DARE he deny the natives of Palestine their civil rights! What if he came to a white group in Mississippi and said, 'Yes, we should have whites-only communities and all the native blacks living in Mississippi must move to Alabama.' Of course not. So why did this poor man mouth such racist tripe for the Jews?

He wants to be elected! He hopes they will overlook his obvious skin color problem and support him because he has endorsed their own, personal racism. Why should 'Israel' be a 'Jewish' state in the first place? All other states that try this are considered 'bad places' like Saudi Arabia. You can't give roses on Valentine's day there, for example. Is this the future of humanity? To be locked in various ethnic prisons, not trading with each other? Hostile to all outsiders? Is this our ugly future?

I am a creature of the Enlightenment. I support ALL religions but will NOT want any of them to RULE anyone. The Buddhist Tibetan religious rulers were very, very cruel and closed off Tibet to all trade and intercourse with the outside world, just for example. A very nasty society developed in that religious dictatorship. Mono-religious states destroy minds. Great thinkers arise out of cultures where there is a great deal of mixing of religions and races! The more we mix, the better! I want all races to intermarry, too, as my own family has done. The more we do this, the stronger we are, genetically and mentally.

Within the Jewish community, interbreeding has been so bad, whole sectors of this tribal group has many genetic diseases and weaknesses that many babies are born with severe health problems, for example. Within many ruling elite families of Europe, madness and genetic weaknesses have ravaged them as they heavily interbred with each other. Young women from Turkey or Pakistan, living in England or Germany, are begging for aid as they struggle to avoid being sent home to marry cousins. This is due to the fear of birth defects as well as love for outside males who wish to marry them. Protecting these women is a civil necessity! And opening up the tribal boxes that trap many humans is of high importance to me.

We were all very worried when we heard that Fallon was fired and the neo-con Zionists were increasing pressure for a war with Iran:

Current and former military officials welcomed the resignation of Navy Adm. William J. Fallon, the top U.S. military commander in the Middle East, saying he failed to prevent foreign fighters and munitions from entering Iraq.

They said "there was no misperception" regarding Adm. Fallon's "non-warrior" approach to handling foreign involvement in the region.

"The fact is that [Central Command] had the external responsibility to protect our troops in Iraq from the outside and under Fallon they failed to do it," said retired Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely, a military analyst. "We have done nothing to protect our soldiers from external threats in Iraq."

Others said Adm. Fallon was pushed to resign.

"No matter what [Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates] said [Tuesday], we know for a fact Admiral Fallon was fired," said a former senior Defense official who works closely with military officials in the region. "We have kids — soldiers — getting killed because Iran, Syria and other foreign fighters are coming across the border into Iraq, and yet Fallon was unwilling to do anything to hold [those nations] accountable."

As our rulers shove us into WWIII, we have to resist them. And we cannot do this if we ignore who is shoving us into WWIII. And to not be accused of 'anti-semitism' we must openly discuss racism within Judaism. Many anti-semites are also anti-black and anti-Asian and are against intermarriage. I abhor this utterly. And am exactly the opposite. Here, in the news, we see our military that is hugely oversized, a bloated mess, demanding to expand our wars with a billion Muslims in order to 'protect' our troops. Right. We protect them by sending them into endless wars with people who hate us because we support racism.

The US dreams of utterly controlling the Middle East. Then we will assist in the final annihilation of all Christians and Muslims in the Holy Land. And this is the trigger for WWIII. We support religious wars and ethnic cleansing in China, for example. As well as in Russia, the former Yugoslavia and elsewhere. This is thanks to our support for Jewish racism. If we didn't support it, we could see clearly how it is bad, elsewhere. In Sri Lanka, for example, ethnic/religious battles rage. Whenever civil rights are extended to non-Buddhists, the Buddhist priests there riot. Just as they are doing in Tibet. This sort of madness has to be resisted by the use of liberal philosophy as practiced by our Founding Fathers who created the simple tool of separation of Church and State.

The United Arab Emirates, conceding to U.S. pressure and a desire to act in concert with Gulf allies, will keep the dirham pegged to the dollar, a U.A.E. central bank official said.

U.S. Embassy officials last week told central bank Governor Sultan Bin Nasser al-Suwaidi of their concern about reports that the sheikhdom may drop the peg, the official said yesterday, speaking on condition of anonymity. Political leaders have stopped the bank from developing any plans to move toward another currency regime, the official said. U.S. Embassy spokesman Atalah Hoshan in Abu Dhabi wasn't immediately available for comment.

Abandoning the link would risk further weakening the dollar as the U.S. economy falters and the Federal Reserve battles a crisis of confidence in financial markets. The oil-rich Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E., depend on the U.S. for political and military backing and are unlikely to abandon their closest ally at a time of financial turmoil, said Anoushka Marashlian, senior Middle East analyst at Global Insight in London.

``The U.S. has always been the guarantor of U.A.E. military security,'' Marashlian said. ``The U.A.E. wouldn't do anything to compromise that relationship.''

The US is desperate to keep the present status quo going. We protect and support and assist some of the most racist, slavery-based, undemocratic states on earth. Both Muslim and Jewish. Both get our aid and our own nation is left open to invasion and terrorism so we can assist these many mono-ethnic states that hate our guts. They hate the majority of Americans. They hate our life styles, our philosophical beliefs and our religions. And above all, they hate our civil rights that allow us to marry outside of our tribes, outside of our religions. They hate SECULARISM.

I can't emphasize this enough: we are losing our own civil rights here at home the more we support these racist religious dictatorships and this most emphatically includes Israel.

US Illegal Invasion of Iraq Run On Stolen Oil Profits And Debt

March 16, 2008

Elaine Meinel Supkis

Today is the Day of Shame. The Day of Infamy. The Day the US learned that Saddam had no defenses so we sent our military sweeping in past UN guards on the borders of Iraq. No weapons of mass destruction were found. There were no ties between Saddam and bin Laden. There were ties between Saddam and PALESTINE. Which is why we rushed into that death trap. That, and the honey pot of oil we wanted. It is now bankrupting our empire. Powell, the man partially responsible for this terrible crime, talked about the Outer Darkness last year. We are in the Outer Darkness which is a place in the soul where greed, lust for eternal life and wealth, dwells. This is also where Death lies. And our collective desire for things that are not ours will drive us into WWIII. This is my main theme here at Culture of Life News: WWIII will end our lives, our culture and our dreams! We MUST avoid this at all costs.

Iraq’s Insurgency Is Running on Stolen Oil Profits

The sea of oil under Iraq is supposed to rebuild the nation, then make it prosper. But at least one-third, and possibly much more, of the fuel from Iraq’s largest refinery here is diverted to the black market, according to American military officials. Tankers are hijacked, drivers are bribed, papers are forged and meters are manipulated — and some of the earnings go to insurgents who are still killing more than 100 Iraqis a week.

“It’s the money pit of the insurgency,” said Capt. Joe Da Silva, who commands several platoons stationed at the refinery.

Five years after the war in Iraq began, the insurgency remains a lethal force. The steady flow of cash is one reason, even as the American troop buildup and the recruitment of former insurgents to American-backed militias have helped push the number of attacks down to 2005 levels.

If this were Nazi Germany, I could see the exact same news. As Germany tries to enslave all neighbors and force them to do business with us at gun point, they would be complaining about how all the captive populations are cheating them by smuggling oil and other things and using this to fight back! Isn't this news charming? Far from them committing crimes, they are in a power struggle with each other and with us. This always happens.

In China, during WWII, for example, the Chinese fought a civil war with each other while fighting the Japanese. When the US defeated Japan, the Chinese finished their civil war and the US was kicked out. The US then fought a proxy war with China when we moved into North Korea and then crossed into China. The Chinese then pushed us back again.

The US feels that we should be the ones ordering the world's affairs. And the goal is for us to pay for things via our fake fiat currency which we merrily print up more and more if we want more and more. The gambit here was for us to take over Iraq and thus, become part of OPEC and then funnel OPEC profits into the pockets of Texan oil men working with Bush Jr. This produced the present mess which is 100% nothing but total war crimes!

And the US got European imperialists to join in this looting expedition. And all the Great Powers are playing games on the corpses in the Middle East. They want to carve up and control as much of that region as possible due to trade routes and oil. They are all scared that Arabs are gaining economic power as the Iraq war festers onwards. They hope there is some smashing victory that will kill rising Muslim religious fervor and nationalist dreams.

But this seeking of a total victory is driving us not only into WWIII but is the direct cause in this rise in Muslim powers. You can't hammer a sword unless you first put the steel in a fire! And the sword of Islam was blunted by centuries of peace and empire.

Mideast Players Differ On Approach to Hamas

During a trip to the Middle East this month, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice served as an informal go-between for Hamas and its sworn enemy, the government of Israel, helping to arrange a tentative truce, according to U.S., Israeli and Arab officials.
*snip*
Throughout her trip, Rice never publicly uttered the term "cease-fire." But at the request of Egypt, Rice privately asked Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to issue a public statement that Israel would halt attacks if Hamas stopped firing crude rockets at Israeli towns and cities. One day later, Egyptian officials could point to the statement in talks with Hamas, and the daily barrage suddenly stopped.

Rice's actions underscore the nuanced series of signals that are typical of Middle East diplomacy, but they also highlight the central role today of Hamas, formally called the Islamic Resistance Movement, in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Now some experts -- and even Israelis -- are questioning whether the isolation of Hamas continues to make sense.

Hamas won the recent 'elections' the imperial powers had in Palestine. These elections were to cement the powers of the Quisling chosen by Mossad, Abbas. But it backfired. The voters in Palestine chose Hamas. Instantly, the Quartet of Great Powers who are all European and former European colonies such as the USA, stormed into Palestine screaming they wanted the elections reversed or else. They discussed with Quisling Abbas the idea of a coup. Hearing this, the people in Gaza threw out the military arm of the PA. This counter-coup was to protect the results of the election! And were legal and valid. No democracy should allow the losers in an election to conduct a coup!

The Israeli Jews then helped the PA to finish their planned coup on the West Bank. As a reward for negating a valid election, the PA expected the Israeli Jewish master race to cooperate with them and not destroy the village, Bil'in, for example. To grant Palestinians supporting Mossad, to give them building permits and to stop the Jews from confiscating Palestinian lands or building in East Jerusalem. But as usual, the Jews who made these promises to Abbas instantly broke them. The confiscations continue. The brutal Lebensraum für nur die Juden continued. The Nazi-style push to eliminate the Palestinian Christians and Muslims continued and indeed, sped up.

Abbas has no authority over many of his own people. He brought them nothing but more grief. He cries to his masters, 'You must give me a scrap from your feast! You must make it look as if I am getting something here!' But they laugh at him. 'You are a dog. Here. We will throw you this bone: we will give you millions of dollars which you can use for only yourself. You cannot use it to improve Palestinian lives. Go put it in an offshore bank account. We will make YOU rich. Forget about your people. We intend to remove them forever and break their hearts and backs.'

Well, like our illegal invasion of Iraq, this is backfiring. So Mossad asked Rice to negotiate a ceasefire.

Rice's predecessor, Colin L. Powell, last year told National Public Radio that some way must be found to talk to Hamas, arguing, "I don't think you can just cast them into outer darkness and try to find a solution to the problems of the region without taking into account the standing that Hamas has in the Palestinian community." An aide said last week he retains that view.

Even the State Department acknowledged that the question is in the air when the department's official blog this month posed its question of the week: "Should the U.S. engage Hamas in the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians?" The question generated many long and emotional answers -- and State's spokesman was compelled to deny that the posting indicated that a change in policy was under consideration.

In Israel, a former head of the Mossad spy agency, Efraim Halevy, has argued for talks, saying it is impossible to defeat Hamas politically. His position was once a lonely one in Israel, but a poll last month in Haaretz, an Israeli newspaper, found that 64 percent of Israelis favor direct talks with Hamas.

I find it very interesting that Powell, a war criminal, talks about the Outer Darkness. Death is stalking him like a hunting wolf runs a large buffalo into the ground. He looks forwards and sees standing there at the Gates of Death, Libra with her scales. She is very much interested in interrogating one's soul. Not the mind where evasions and excuses are hatched. She peers directly into the parts that we call 'our consciences'. We all do bad things all our lives. The struggle between that and our desire to do good is what Libra is interested in. A conflicted man like Powell will have a long, tormenting conversation with her as she holds up the mirror of reality so he must see himself clearly. I think he will pass her test, though, for he is already aware of his crimes and is feeling remorse.

People who built huge mental structures to justify their crimes have a very hard time of it at the Gates of Death. They will twist and turn and argue with Libra who has all the time in eternity to interrogate. When I was hit by lightning as a child, I died. I came back out of the Outer Darkness, a changed person. She sent me back, I was dragged upwards again by Pegasus who was something I imagined. This is because I used to play on the mosaic on the floor of the Yerkes Observatory and so when I needed to flee the Gates of Death, I picked out this particular flying creature/god to take me back to Life.

Death stalks the Middle East. It stalks all of us but in particular, this region is bringing together the nexus of titanic forces: the intersection of major religions are being soaked in blood. Anything can start WWIII. WWI started over a really ridiculous but bloody murder, just for example.

Note also, how the story above talks about questions about what to do next to the Palestinians involved 'long and emotional answers.' This is code for all the Jewish neocons who planted themselves within the State Department precisely to control all things concerning Palestine, screaming like banshees and throwing temper tantrums. I know from past, harsh experience, they are very prone to talking over anyone who tries to explain dangers or reality. They feel, if they block out all words and deliberately misunderstand and misread what people are trying to communicate to them, they can railroad the conversation into their own ends and means.

This doesn't work with me. I have a loud voice and a lot of patience. If people go stark raving mad trying to stop the interrogation of Libra, she continues with her work. So it is here: justice cannot be denied in the end! Germany happily threw off responsibility for the Holocaust and dumped it on the innocent Palestinians. The Jewish holocaust against the Palestinians pre-date WWI. Every opportunity to push forward this mad scheme of ethnic cleansing was hatched in Europe in the 18th century. It has been pushed forwards every possible time. When Hitler began to talk about destroying the Jewish communities in Europe, Zionists were already waging war against the natives of Palestine. In fact, the Zionists demanded the English hand over Palestine by 1934 and let them get all the Jews out of Europe but England refused.

This began the terrorism by Jewish fighters who attacked British forces using bombs, booby traps, etc. This bit of history is often glossed over by people who want to equate invasion of Palestine with Hitler's crimes. A word of warning here: US foreign policies towards the Middle East should NOT be conducted by emotional nut cases who want war! If it is, we get wars. Hysterical Jews screaming that we should support only Israeli Jews in this massive mess are a hazard to our nation. They can suck our nation into WWIII very easily. Therefore, we need clear-thinking Americans who are interested in protecting not only this country but humanity, running things in the State Department. In this regard, I have no hope for the future for the Zionists who run our media are insuring that only candidates who support ethnic cleansing will rule America.

My Lai marks massacre's 40th anniversary

On the 40th anniversary of the massacre of up to 500 unarmed Vietnamese villagers, the former helicopter gunner was reunited with a young man he rescued from rampaging U.S. soldiers.

On March 16, 1968, Colburn found 8-year-old Do Ba clinging to his mother's corpse in a ditch full of blood and the bodies of more than 100 people who had been mowed down. Nearly all the victims were unarmed women, children and elderly.

"Today I see Do Ba with a wife and a baby," said Colburn, a member of a three-man Army helicopter crew that landed in the midst of the massacre and intervened to stop the killing. "He's transformed himself from being a broken, lonely man. Now he's complete. He's a perfect example of the human spirit, of the will to survive."

This grim milestone didn't happen at the end of the Vietnam War. It was in the MIDDLE. And the US public was NOT outraged by this news, either. I remember well for I was organizing demonstrations against this horrible war. People would come up to me as I handed out leaflets, screaming how they loved killing people and the death of innocent civilians and babies was OK since they supported 'terrorists' and if they only would surrender to us, they would not be murdered by us! This sort of logic infests minds that seek world domination and control. It's OK to commit crimes if you are the party seeking power. If other parties do this, they are evil. This is why we are being goaded into screaming at China over Tibet while dead silence falls when we think about the Middle East or Iraq. The struggles for freedom in Tibet are IDENTICAL to the struggle for freedom in the ghettos of Palestine or the fractured mess in Iraq.

Among those coming to pray was Ha Thi Quy, 83, a My Lai survivor who suffers from anger and depression four decades after the slaughter. Soldiers from the Army's Charlie Company shot her in the leg and killed her mother, her 16-year-old daughter and her 6-year-old son.

Her husband later died of injuries from the massacre and another son had to have an arm and a leg amputated after suffering gunshot wounds that day.

Quy only survived because she was shielded beneath a pile of dead bodies.

"The American government should stop waging wars like they waged in Vietnam," Quy said. "My children were innocent, but those American soldiers killed them."

Seymour Hersh, the journalist who exposed the massacre, said he sees parallels between My Lai and a more recent story that he has he reported on, the 2005 images of torture from the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. But he says the public furor unleashed by My Lai was far greater.

"It's stunning how much impact My Lai had and how little impact Abu Ghraib had," Hersh said by telephone from Washington. "We'll have to leave it to historians to figure out why."

The furor created over the My Lai massacre is IDENTICAL to the furor over Abu Ghraib. Both featured NO trials of ANY of the top officers responsible. BOTH caused NO CHANGE in direction for the US. Both were ignored as much as possible by the US media. I was in Europe during all this and I was shocked at the flood of news about Asia that was censored and ignored by US media! After living in Germany, I used to buy European newspapers in order to get a perspective on the news that was suppressed maliciously in the US. The need to twist Americans into imperialist criminals is very powerful in the US. This is why both Abu Ghraib and My Lai had NO effect AT ALL on the conduct of the wars we waged or are waging. We simply rolled onwards. The debate did get higher, of course, as anti-war people who have virtually no public voice in our empire, refused to shut up about these crimes. We now go online to yell. But this is also ignored.

Note how successfully! We now are going into an election. War Criminal/Zionist tool #1 versus War Criminal/Zionist tool #2 and War Criminal/Zionist tool #3! And the bitterness of supporters of these three is astonishing since the difference between them is vanishing! The person who answers the 3am ring of the Red Phone will be a warmonger who supports ethnic cleansing in the Middle East! This won't stop WWIII.....It will increase the likelihood of WWIII.

Hamas says it can hit Israeli helicopters with seized guns

The armed wing of Hamas said on Saturday that it can strike Israeli helicopters with weapons which the Palestinian Authority abandoned when its forces were driven out of the Gaza Strip.

The statement came after Israeli television said an army helicopter was hit by Palestinian fire on Friday during an overflight of the Hamas-ruled territory, in the first incident of its kind in several years.

"We consider the targeting of Israeli aircraft to be a new development because certain weapons became available to us after the military stabilisation," Abu Obeida, a spokesman for the armed wing of Hamas, told AFP.

He was referring to last June when Hamas fighters evicted forces loyal to Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas in a week of deadly streetbattles.

"These weapons were in the arsenals of the Authority and were supplied to them by foreign countries," he said, referring to Abbas's Western-backed Palestinian Authority.

Hamas is, like all insurrections, growing stronger and stronger, not weaker and weaker. Just like in Vietnam, the more we massacred helpless peasants, the more they resisted us! In Vietnam, they didn't want to be ruled by Christian invaders from Europe and America. In the Middle East, they don't want to be ruled by Jewish invaders from Europe and America. The more we kill them, the more we try to disarm them, the more they will try to fight back. In the case of the Palestinians, this is literally life and death. They may not have had much a sense of national identity back in 1900. But this century-long war with European and American invaders has changed this greatly. Now they have a very strong sense. Abbas is a throw-back to the days when the Palestinians wanted to negotiate a 2-state deal. But they now know better than that.

The 2-state business was all lies. Bush stood up in the UN and endorsed this and then worked with the Zionists to unleash ever-harsher ethnic cleansing there and the building of ghetto walls to pen in the Palestinians into smaller and smaller disconnected areas. He made things WORSE, not better. And deliberately. He was LYING when he gave that speech back in November, 2001. This won't happen again. The Saudis are not saving the Palestinians because they are busy buying up the US economic and financial systems. Their plan is to support Zionists and keep the Jews and Americans pinned down in this grinding series of wars in Palestine and Iraq while they buy us out.

Like the Chinese, they realize the key to world domination is to BANKRUPT THE USA. And they are succeeding. If only one nation was trying to bankrupt us, it would fail. But if many nations who have huge trade surpluses with the US are seeking our bankruptcy, you can bet, they will succeed! Especially since the neo-cons supporting ethnic cleansing are bankrupting us. Just as the Vietnam War bankrupted the nation and we had to stop the gold/dollar balance and unleashed massive inflation in the US as the government sought to pay for that war via degrading our currency, so it is today: the working classes in America are being destroyed by inflation as the government debases our currency to pay for war debts!

And this enrages me. Most media chat about the economy leaves out the war spending. They leave out all the complex international games concerning our looming bankruptcy. They even dare to pretend that the world will NOT want us bankrupt! And I say, economics is war using commerce and money. And we are losing that war, badly.

State Department Condemns Anti-Semitism

Spring snow on my mountain.

March 15, 2008

Elaine Meinel Supkis

Just in time for another massacre: the US drops China from the violators of human rights lists. Syria is put on this list because they are host to a million refugees driven out of Iraq due to the illegal US invasion. Merkel of Germany goes to Israel to tell the world that Germany supports the confiscation of Palestinian land and the ghettoization of Palestine because of German crimes in the past. Sweet. And England's rulers tell the people that they have NO say in treaties or other schemes cooked up by their rulers. And Gates of the CIA says China is evil because they use MONEY to influence neighbors and strangers! Of course, we are killing the dollar so we can't bribe anyone anymore, can we?

US drops China from list of top human rights abusers

The US dropped China from its list of the world's worst human rights violaters, but added Syria, Uzbekistan and Sudan to the alleged offenders in an annual report released Tuesday.

The State Department's 2007 Human Rights Report showed China, which has raised hopes it will improve human rights by hosting the 2008 Olympics, had parted company with countries like North Korea, Myanmar and Iran.

Over 100 killed in the riots, just in time for this story. The ink is hardly dry on the parchment and blood spill all over it. Why was this done, anyway? Bush Sr. loved the Chinese communists. Remember the Tiananmen Square Massacre happened, the demonstrations there were echoed here. When I was demanding, in front of the UN, the Chinese students protesting in America be given sanctuary here, he refused. It wasn't until we threatened to have a giant demonstration that would turn into an ugly confrontation on CNN, did he back down. D'Amato, our Republican Senator at the time, went down to DC to persuade Bush Sr. to give the students protection here. We won and the Chinese leadership was very angry about all this.

So here we are, making nice while they slap everyone around at home. Not that the US has any right to talk about this in the first place. The nation that has Gitmo and tortures prisoners in Iraq, invades countries disarmed by the United Nations, a country that gives the greatest bulk of foreign aide to Israel, a noxious racist state trying to colonize the Middle East, this nation has NO right to call anyone 'A Human Rights Violator.' The US is one of the greatest violators on earth.

God help us, if anyone dares say this in public if they are running for office and they are punished severely. This is the Great Unmentionable. If we all pretend we are good guys we can censor others for not being nice even as we rape, loot and kill.

CIA chief says China not acting as "responsible" major power

CIA chief Michael Hayden said in a report Thursday that China was not behaving like a responsible major power, accusing the Asian giant of pouring aid to South Pacific islands merely to win UN votes.

Chinese communist leaders "have not yet stepped up to the responsibility of a major power" and so far have failed to understand "they actually have some responsibility for the maintenance of the global system," the Washington Times quoted Hayden as saying in an interview.

"When you go and essentially corrupt an island nation in the South Pacific with massive infusions of aid no matter how appropriately or inappropriately it will be used, and you strangle nascent democracies in their crib by doing so just so you can get that island nation's vote in the General Assembly, that's pursuing it for a very narrow base," Hayden said.

"If you want to be a great power, you've got be thinking more broadly, you cannot be acting just on those kind of narrow considerations," he said.

The mental frame of mind these creepy people exhibit is a classic case of psychopathic thinking. What the hell? This entire interview with the nutty general who runs our spooks is classic Keystone Kop thinking. You mean to tell me, it is evil for a country to use economic goodies to gain allies and to have them vote in favor of things the richer nation wants? HAHAHA. OK. We are now declaring this ancient tool of diplomacy used for the last 10,000 years to be evil. As if the US never uses 'foreign aid' this way! Indeed, how else do we use it in the first place? As for strangling democracy, there are no bloodier hands than the CIA! Indeed, it seems their ONLY function is to strangle democracy. Whenever people do get a chance to vote and the CIA disagrees with the results of the polls, they pull the plug and institute a coup or invasion. We despise democracy and fear it when any third or second world nation tries this experiment.

And if anyone on earth is thinking like a 'Great Power' it is the Chinese. Like the British Empire embarrassed by the Irish, the need to be very cruel to the Irish and even starve, beat or kill them, so it is here: the Chinese are being embarrassed by the Tibetans who are not being treated nearly so hideously as the Irish in the last 30 years. Indeed, Ireland is STILL divided and the Brits are making NO moves to fix this. Speaking of the devil here:

UK to Hand Sovereignty To EU Without Referendum

Hilary White of LifeSiteNews.com writes tht Britain's MPs voted yesterday to deny the public a referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon, the European Union's substitute for the Constitution that failed in 2005 after being defeated by Dutch and French plebiscites. The House of Commons vote, 311 to 248 - a majority of 63 - defeated a Conservative amendment that would have allowed the British public a say in whether the treaty would come into effect in the country. Commentators and activists fighting the issue have called the vote yesterday in the House of Commons the effective end of British sovereignty.

The Conservative opposition are planning to reintroduce their amendment in the House of Lords later this year. The Lords, however, have little power to defeat legislation.

The vote followed closely on the heels of ten local "mini-polls" held last week in Labour and Liberal Democrat constituencies that resulted in 88 per cent support for a referendum. In the 2005 election all three major parties promised a referendum on any attempt to revive the defeated Euro-Constitution.

Britain isn't a democracy. It has a Parliament that occasionally listens to 'voters' except when they don't have to listen which is roughly as frequently as our own Congress listens to us over on this side of the pond: rare indeed! The same international deals they don't want are shoved down everyone's throats just as it is done here. Demonstrators seeking to influence events with riots that overturn cars, rock throwing or burning businesses are not allowed to do even a small cheering squad: demonstrators are viciously attacked, driven away, beaten or killed. Indeed, the difference between us and the Tibetans is, they are still able to show some rage and not be totally annihilated.

But here in the so-called 'democracies' in the West, we get to demonstrate far from where the meetings about our fates are going on. We can do symbolic marches so long as no ruling elite, no government official sees or hears any of us. In London, it is strictly illegal to demonstrate anywhere annoying. Ditto, Washington, DC. Both nations have so strangled demonstrations, they barely exist today. But the rage is there, right below the surface. Maybe we can all go to Tibet and riot.

Threats to Israel are threats to us, says Merkel

German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed solidarity with Israel in the face of threats to the Jewish state on Saturday, the eve of a three-day visit to the country, and said Iran must halt its nuclear program.

"The threats to which the Israeli state is exposed are also threats to us," Merkel said in her weekly podcast.

She said she would underline on the trip that "the Iranian nuclear program cannot continue and Iran must finally play to international rules."
*snip*
She will also visit the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial on Monday. "With this (visit) we want to take responsibility for the past ... we want to show clearly that Israel's right to exist is a permanent part of German foreign policy," she said.

Merkel won't demand Israel disarm. Not one single, solitary Security Council permanent member has disarmed even slightly. Iran, a nation attacked repeatedly by England and the US as well as Iraq and others, is supposed to be disarmed. The real threats to this state are ignored as the ruling elites of the planet try to hustle the Iranians. As the entire banking and financial systems of the West crumble and collapse, as economic disaster steamrollers right over the entire coalition to crush Iran, this CONTINUES! They can't stop! Iran knows that every time any of these creepy people open their mouths to threaten Iran, the world price of oil climbs! And it has been climbing like a kadzu vine in Mississippi on a hot humid summer day.

Right on the heels of Gates warning China to not use money as a diplomatic tool, here is the head of Germany endorsing the theft of Palestinian lands because of German crimes. Germany is NOT paying the Palestinian people for the theft of their lands and the destruction of their people. Germany is paying for the victims of European Jews seeking power, the Palestinian Christians and Muslims are paying the entire price for German crimes. Germany not only isn't apologizing to the Palestinians for creating this nightmare, the Germans are now taunting them and telling the, they have NO rights at all. It isn't that Israel must exist, it is that Israel is JEWS ONLY every bit as obnoxiously as any racist, apartheid state.

State Dept: Criticism of Israel = Anti-Semitism?

In the most recent edition of its annual “Contemporary Global Anti-Semitism” released Thursday, the State Department — and hence the U.S. government — moves ever more closely to a long-standing neo-conservative tenet: that criticism of Israel or Israeli policies often, if not always, equals anti-Semitism. The report also suggests that comparing Israel’s treatment of Palestinians in the Occupied Territories to South African apartheid — as former President Jimmy Carter did in his 2006 book Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid — also amounts to anti-Semitism. And it focuses on the United Nations as a breeding ground for anti-Semitism as expressed through criticism of Israel, another major neo-conservative theme that has intensified sharply over the past five years, notably through the efforts of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, the National Review Online and the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page.

Here’s the argument as laid out in the introductory section of the report entitled Contemporary Forms of Anti-Semitism”:

“Anti-Semitism has proven to be an adaptive phenomenon. New forms of anti-Semitism have evolved. They often incorporate elements of traditional anti-Semitism. However, the distinguishing feature of the new anti-Semitism is criticism of Zionism or Israeli policy that — whether intentionally or unintentionally — has the effect of promoting prejudice against all Jews by demonizing Israel and Israelis and attributing Israel’s perceived faults to its Jewish character.

“The new anti-Semitism is common throughout the Middle East and in Muslim communities in Europe, but it is not confined to these populations. For example, various United Nations bodies are asked each year on multiple occasions to commission investigations of what often are sensationalized reports of alleged atrocities and other violations of human rights by Israel. Various bodies have been set up within the UN system with the sole purpose of reporting on what is assumed to be ongoing, abusive Israeli behavior. The motive for such actions may be to defuse an immediate crisis, to show others in the Middle East that there are credible means of addressing their concerns other than resorting to violence, or to pursue other legitimate ends. But the collective effect of unremitting criticism of Israel, coupled with a failure to pay attention to regimes that are demonstrably guilty of grave violations, has the effect of reinforcing the notion that the Jewish state is one of the sources, if not the greatest source, of abuse of the rights of others, and thus intentionally or not encourages anti-Semitism.

“Comparing contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis is increasingly commonplace. Anti-Semitism couched as criticism of Zionism or Israel often escapes condemnation since it can be more subtle than traditional forms of anti-Semitism, and promoting anti-Semitic attitudes may not be the conscious intent of the purveyor. Israel’s policies and practices must be subject to responsible criticism and scrutiny to the same degree as those of any other country. At the same time, those criticizing Israel have a responsibility to consider the effect their actions may have in prompting hatred of Jews. At times hostility toward Israel has translated into physical violence directed at Jews in general. There was, for example, a sharp upsurge in anti-Semitic incidents worldwide during the conflict between Hizballah and Israel in the summer of 2006.”

Jews within the State Department, some of whom are dual citizens and not really full-Americans, would like to destroy our Constitution totally. Being a bunch of fascists, they want nothing to do with civil rights, freedoms and democracy. They do not want the people of the US to have a say in our own government. The Jews who dominate many of our systems all want to use money to influence the people in positions of authority so they obey the objectives and desires of these particular Jews. And we are not going to be allowed to talk about all this. Note how these people have utterly eliminated President Jimmy Carter from appearing in the news anymore! He is gone! Poof! Just like me and many others who dare to discuss openly the truth. Gandhi's grandson isn't allowed to talk about all this. When he merely suggested that the Jews stop using the Holocaust as a crutch, he was thrown out on his ear and we will never hear from him again.

As the Jews who are right wingers experiment with Naziism, they are infuriated if anyone notices they are now Nazis. Recently, the New Yorker, a magazine mostly aimed at Jewish readers [the bulk of their articles are now by or for Jewish readers, I have been a subscriber for many years]--had yet another 'Holocaust' article. Photos of Nazis at Auschwitz:

KARL HOECKER’S ALBUM

This week in the magazine, Alec Wilkinson writes about a rare album of photographs from the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz, in southern Poland. The album, which was delivered to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2007, belonged to Karl Hoecker, adjutant to the commandant of Auschwitz from May, 1944, to January, 1945. Wilkinson writes:

“If the album consisted only of photographs of people who hadn’t been seen at Auschwitz, and of areas of Auschwitz that hadn’t been portrayed, or if it merely expanded the photographic record of Auschwitz, it would be valuable historically…but it has an enhanced value….In the fifty-four days between May 15 and July 8, 1944, a period partly covered in the Hoecker album, and called the Hungarian Deportation, four hundred and thirty-four thousand people were put aboard trains to Auschwitz—so many people that the crematoriums, which could dispose of a hundred and thirty-two thousand bodies a month, were overrun.”

The New Yorker wonders how the Nazis could shoot little Palestinian girls going to school or deliberately machine gun US sailors of the USS Liberty while they floundered in the seas as their ship sank. The perceptive writer wonders how Jews in Israel can threaten 'a' holocaust on the captive Palestinians in the Holy Land. On and on it goes...eh? Not.

The Nazis felt no shame and no compassion just like the Jews in Israel today. The desire to cleanse the land of all aliens, the desire to have 'blood purity' was identical. No more concern than running a packing plant processing cows or pigs, they did their jobs and went home to make merry, pray to whatever gods they devised and to justify all this by 'Lebensraum' excuses. The more the Jews in the media hammer on this topic, the more horrible it is for us on the outside. Why can't the New Yorker run an article about the disgusting things the US and Israel are doing to their captive populations? How many generals and how many political leaders were hung at Nüremburg for torturing Iraqis? None! The US didn't apply the iron laws of Nüremburg to ourselves and certainly, not to the Zionists who are mirror images of the Nazis.

By Amira Haas:
The PA's hollow protests

Negotiations and armed struggle are not the only means of fighting the occupation. The question of why the Palestinians have not adopted Mahatma Gandhi's nonviolent resistance should be addressed to PA leaders - not the millions of Palestinians who every day wage an unarmed struggle against the sophisticated and advanced methods of oppression.

The protests would sound completely different if the protesters were to organize a calculated public revolt against Israel's tactics of annexation.

There is no lack of opportunities.

There are hundreds of concrete barriers blocking exits to villages. The PA could send a bulldozer to remove one of them every day. Senior officials could come along: Mahmoud Abbas or someone from his bureau, heads of security organizations, members of the PLO central committee, senior Fatah representatives, ministers and directors general.

There are roads that are forbidden to Palestinian cars. PA officials and West Bank residents could form a long convoy of cars and drive on these roads. Many Israelis would be happy to join them.

Building and development are banned in Area C. The Palestinian planning office could order the appropriate Palestinian ministries to put up electricity lines, to prepare the infrastructure to connect villages to the water carrier, to dig cisterns to collect rainwater, to build schools, clinics and houses. Maybe even dig wells. All of the things that the Israeli occupation authorities forbid to do on 60 percent of the West Bank. Here, too, there will be no small number of Israelis opposed to the occupation who will join up.

The Civil Administration will come and destroy it all. Then build it again.

The senior officials accompanying the work will be arrested. Even better. Should only the residents of Bil'in be arrested for their unarmed struggle against the occupation?

Maybe we should ask Gandhi's grandson to go to the West Bank and have him stand in front of the IDF as they shoot at the Palestinians. He can follow in the footsteps of Rachel Corrie. The IDF Jews will then murder him and the US media won't report the story and after we yell about it online, they will then concoct a totally fabricated story about how he was really a terrorist and the IDF couldn't see him as they were too busy bulldozing the houses of the subhuman Palestinian non-people. And how would this creepy Amira Haas like it if she were to try to build something and the Jews smashed it and she did this over and over and over again? What on earth have the Palestinians been doing for the last 60 years, anyway? And no one pays any attention, no one stops the IDF terrorists and no one cares! Billions of dollars to keep doing this flow into IDF hands and they have no end of ability to smash Palestinian homes and run over anyone daring to try to stop this madness!

It infuriates me to see heavily armed invaders sneering at natives and ordering them to be peaceful! As the people of Tibet openly fight the Chinese communists, why not Palestinians? They have the same human right to fight their invaders and to not give up or give in! Here is today's example of how peaceful protestors are shot by the IDF Jews:

Two Israelis wounded in clashes with IDF at anti-fence protest

Two Israeli protestors were wounded Friday in clashes with Israel Defense Forces troops during a weekly protest against the construction of the West Bank separation fence near the Palestinian village of Bil'in.

The protesters accused IDF troops of firing rubber bullets directly at them from short range, without any provocation. Some 100 Israeli and Palestinian demonstrators participated in the protest.

"We were standing in a group of about 10 Israelis next to the fence," said one protester. "The soldiers were standing roughly 10 meters from us. They saw Us and it was clear that we weren't throwing stones or anything. Suddenly I felt a blow to my arm. I was relatively lightly hurt. The guy next to me was more seriously wounded because the bullet penetrated his thigh."

The protester did not see who fired the shots, although other protesters said they saw an IDF soldier aim his weapon directly at the group and fire, adding that he was filmed doing so.

According to IDF rules of engagement, rubber bullets are not to be fired directly at protesters from a distance of less than 60 meters, since they can cause serious injury or even death.

I am amazed at the handful of Jewish citizens who bravely choose to face the fanatical fury of their own tribe. They should be supported and applauded. But it isn't enough. This story should be in the New Yorker magazine, not old musty photos from WWII. This is today! Bil'in is not in American news for the simple reason, the Jews who have great influence here, don't want it in the news. Instead, we have denunciations of Obama's minister for saying things that are obviously true!

Obama denounces pastor's 9/11 comments

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Friday denounced inflammatory remarks from his pastor, who has railed against the United States and accused the country of bringing on the Sept. 11 attacks by spreading terrorism.

Obama called the statements appearing on television and the Internet "completely unacceptable and inexcusable" in a Fox News interview and said they didn't reflect the kinds of sermons he had heard from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright while attending services at Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ.

And what horrible thing did this man say to be so condemned?

"I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies," Obama said in his blog posting. "I also believe that words that degrade individuals have no place in our public dialogue, whether it's on the campaign stump or in the pulpit. In sum, I reject outright the statements by Reverend Wright that are at issue."

In a sermon on the Sunday after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, Wright suggested the United States brought on the attacks.

"We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye," Wright said. "We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost."

Here it is in a nutshell: the unvarnished truth. But rather than embrace it, Obama has to flee from it as all our leaders flee the truth as if it were a leper. The New York Times and the Washington Post both pretend it was some sort of thing about slavery and the history of racism that got the preacher in hot water. But reading all that, I found little to be worthy of any notice. But the real reason Obama was hammered into repudiating his friend was simple: the guy broke the rules. He mentioned the Palestinians and war crimes in the same breath. He correctly connected our use of nuclear bombs to our present wars against people in the Middle East. This is very forbidden and this man will be hounded out of the public's eye because he dared to say anything about the Middle East that isn't pure propaganda.

This is all very depressing. I really hate writing these stories because they make me feel filthy. I don't want to think or do things concerning all this because it is painful to see, think about or write. Yet I must. The pain of innocent people trying somehow to cope with their fates to replay whole mess of WWII is a goad. I cannot let this happen. Everyone has been told to not let Nazis do these things and here we are, one of the ugliest ironies of history, watching as the Jews repeat, chapter and verse, every single thing the Nazis did, one by one. More than half support increasing the violence and escalating the chopping up of the West Bank and driving out the Muslims and Christians. It is just amazingly ugly and a crime against humanity. Not that the State Department will condemn THAT!

Tibetan Riots And Palestinian Riots: One 'Good', Other 'Evil'

March 14, 2008

Elaine Meinel Supkis

Whenever the foreign press pours into China, the people there take advantage and show their true feelings. In today's case, the Tibetans are on the firing line. The US and Europe love to split other people's countries apart but fight ferociously if anyone dares to separate from within the US/UK/EU empires. Ask the Irish about this! Or the Basques! A host of people who are crushed ruthlessly if they riot or even demonstrate. Then there are the Palestinians: they are slowly being chopped out of their homeland by the empires. No sympathy for them if they throw rocks, burn cars, etc. Nope. But we are reminded that people CAN resist their rulers AND it is OK to burn cars and throw rocks. Here, in the US, you get shot if you do that.

Tibet Protests Turn Violent, Shops Burn in Lhasa

Hundreds of protesters swarmed Tibet's capital Friday, clashing with police and setting fire to shops and cars in a spasm of violence worse than any there in nearly 20 years. Doctors reported dozens of wounded streaming into hospitals, and there were unconfirmed reports of several deaths as Lhasa descended into what one witness called "a state of siege."
*snip*
The crisis exposed the anger Tibetans have long felt but rarely expressed over Chinese domination. Although ethnic Chinese represent a tiny minority in Tibet, they are far better off economically. Tibetans also resent efforts by the central government in Beijing to bind their homeland to the rest of the country -- including the recent opening of a luxury train that funnels tourists to Lhasa.

The Chinese government must now confront a significant political challenge as it prepares to host the 2008 Olympic Games in August. Authorities have steadfastly attempted to project an image of harmony and stability in Tibet and elsewhere even as they have tightened their grip over the restive region.

I have actually been in riots. Usually, we are shocked when the police shoot people dead. Like the People's Park demonstrations. It was peaceful but the police and sheriffs blocked all access to the park [I used to play the cello there]. The police then attacked. People threw back the tear gas containers so the police simply began to shoot. This turned everything very violent. People died. Of course, the people who wanted this park to live were portrayed as evil and deserving of death. I wish I had the cartoons I drew back then. It was rather heartbreaking. One of the people shot in the face and blinded was an artist I knew.

There are creepy people who will condemn Americans fighting to stop murderous wars or to gain civil rights in ghettos but if people in communist nations do the exact same thing for the exact same reasons, they are heroes. And they are heroes! But so are our rioters. And rioters in Belfast, Ireland. Or in Oaxaca, Mexico. Or in Santiago, Chile. Or anywhere on earth! The rioters who stormed the US Embassy in Iran were the same! Of course, who is evil and who is good depends entirely on who the empire declares 'good' or 'evil'. So of course, since these latest rioters want to drive out 'foreigners' they are good since this is China and not....ISRAEL.

If the great empires want to invade a country and forcibly displace and destroy the natives, this is OK. And if the natives resist, riot or fight back, they are 'terrorists' and 'evil'. This slice and dice of evil and good is at the heart of the contradictions of modern diplomacy and war. The US and Britain cooly invade Iraq and launch a deadly ethnic/religious cleansing wave which we do virtually nothing to stop and then we blame the natives for this. If Saddam were in power, we applaud ethnic and religious riots and blame him for them. And accuse him of war crimes if he suppresses them like we do to people here when they riot. Shooting, gassing, etc. Once, the police tried to use what is now illegal vomit gas on us. Only the wind sprang up and swept it into the ranks of the police who began to gag and roll on the ground. I and several others came in with buckets of water and saved the poor officers by dousing them. I wrangled from the Tucson Chief of Police a promise to investigate this and condemn it.

Since it is obvious that the BBC and NYT and WP and all the other major media condemn China for acting like Ronald Reagan, we must go backwards in time to the intractable problem of the Palestinian people and how they have been much more grossly abused by the Great Powers than anyone in Tibet.

Balfour Declaration of 1917

Foreign Office,
November 2nd, 1917.

Dear Lord Rothschild,
I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet:
"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, 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".
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.

Yours sincerely
Arthur James Balfour
*snip*
In a 1919 memorandum he wrote as a Cabinet Minister, Balfour wrote of these contradictory assurances as follows:

"The contradiction between the letter of the Covenant is even more flagrant in the case of the independent nation of Palestine than in that of the independent nation of Syria. For in Palestine we do not propose even to go through the form of consulting the wishes of the present inhabitants of the country, though the American Commission has been going through the forms of asking what they are. The four great powers are committed to Zionism and Zionism, be it right or wrong, good or bad, is rooted in age-long tradition, in present needs, in future hopes, of far profounder importance than the desire and prejudices of the 700,000 Arabs who now inhabit that ancient land. In my opinion, that is right."[5]

Because the Four Powers that were, incidentally, bankrupt, decided that the people in Palestine didn't matter one hoot, they simply STOLE everything openly. All the accords were kept secret between the Jews and the Empires using the Jews for money and other support. No one told the victims, their intended fate. Note how Barfour doesn't care if he is doing something evil. None of the parties cooking up this invasion gave a fig about morals. The Jews wanted something and the Empires were broke and needed whatever they could grab in the dying Ottoman Empire.

Wikipedia:

The Arabs sensed danger in November 1918 at the parade marking the first anniversary of the Balfour Declaration. The Muslim-Christian Association protested the carrying of new 'white and blue banners with two inverted triangles in the middle'. They drew the attention of the authorities to the serious consequences of any political implications in raising the banners.[8]

Later that month, on the first anniversary of the occupation of Jaffa by the British, the Muslim-Christian Association sent a lengthy memorandum and petition to the military governor protesting once more the Zionist intrusion.[9]

Both the Christians and Muslims in Palestine realized they were being invaded and tried repeatedly to warn away the invaders. But the empires, like the Chinese empire, didn't listen to them. They rioted repeatedly but WWII meant more money was needed by Britain and since the British seized Palestine after WWI, they decided to sell it in the end. After the Jews did a number of terrorist attacks on both the British and the natives of Palestine.

Due to the utter evil of Hitler and his murderous crew, sympathy for the Jewish European invaders was high in 1948. They invaded and took over and instituted not the 'equal rules and one state' gambit of the first Barfour Declaration but rather, they launched a hideous discriminatory state that has virtually no civil rights for anyone who can't prove their mother, grandmother and great grandmother are 'Jews'. This noxious rule means a grinding battle for existence for the non-humans who suffer this odious rule.

The Tibetans want the Chinese invaders to leave. And the Palestinians want their invaders to leave. If the US supports one, they MUST support the other. But try getting the Hollywood fanatics to do that! Quite impossible.

Good and evil depends on who you are. Good is when we destroy someone else's empire. Evil is when our own imperial power is questioned by rioters. Have a happy St. Patrick's Day! Remember the Troubles!

New York Times Applauds Jews Building In Palestine

March 12, 2008

Elaine Meinel Supkis

The New York Times frequently carries articles about the joys of being a Jewish Overlord and Master in Palestine. In today's happy story, a pair of Americans who have dual citizenship have denounced living in the US and moved to Israel. There, they build a pretty house on land bought by Rothshield before he purchased all of Palestine from the British who didn't own it back during WWI when Britain was trying to conquer the Middle East. Meanwhile, the forced demolition of Palestinian homes, even without a minute's notice, while everything is still inside, continues. The Jews doing this war crime are not hauled before the eye of Americans supporting all this for this news is NEVER reported in ANY American standard media.

The New York Times:

Nava Abel loves color, a fact that is apparent in every room of the house that she and her husband designed, built and decorated. The concrete block walls are painted orange, pink, blue and purple; the ceilings are yellow; the metal stairs are maroon; and the painted concrete floors mimic Arabic-style tiles, with Oriental motifs in dark reds, yellows, blues and greens.

“The house is a palette,” said Ms. Abel, an artist who teaches in Zichron Yaacov, a seafront community near Haifa.

Her husband, Michael, an architect and contractor, grew up in the United States, living in several states before his family settled in California. After graduating from college in Montana in 1982, he met his future wife, an Israeli whose family had moved to Los Angeles when she was 16 years old.

Jews may pass in and out of America at will. They can enter and leave Palestine at will. Any Palestinian who leaves or is driven out by Jewish terrorism cannot return. The battle over 'right of return' is quite simple. If a Jewish person thinks they can have multiple passports and live all over the planet, the one thing they do NOT want the subhumans who are the actual residents of Palestine itself to have this privilege. Indeed, the belief system of the Jews today is, these people have no statehood for they are transients while the Jews who go all over the planet and hold citizenship all over the planet, are NOT transients at all but are durable residents! This goofy story illustrates the transient nature of the Jews who are determined to have their cake and eat it too: they are very transient while the Palestinians are quite determined to stay put!

This has tormented the invaders from America and Europe. They do work very hard to pretend they are only able to live in 'Israel' but they don't. They move out all the time. A lot of the time. A number of them have multiple residences, even! The people being denied a home are of course, the people who actually live in 'Israel': the Palestinian natives.

ISRAEL-OPT: House demolitions cause Palestinians to leave village

A small, overcrowded Palestinian village in the southern West Bank, under threat from Israeli-conducted house demolitions and land confiscations, is rapidly becoming poorer.

"Every house here has one child at least who left because we can't build new homes. Some went to Hebron, but others left for Amman [Jordan] and places abroad" said Ghassan, a young man from Beqaa village, who is a refugee registered with the UN.

Bilal Jaber, who recently received papers saying his house was illegal, is worried it will be destroyed.
"I saved money when I worked as a labourer to build my home," the now unemployed man said. "If the Israelis destroy it, I can't rebuild."

He said he would probably have to move to the old city of Hebron, where the Palestinian Authority provides free housing in an attempt to stop Israeli settlement expansion, though living conditions there are tough.
Beqaa, outside Hebron, was founded in 1973 by Palestinians, including refugees from the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.

Most left the city as it became overcrowded, but the new village is now also overloaded, since there are only about 55 homes for over 1,800 people. Around 20 other homes have been demolished in the last 12 years by the Israeli authorities, according to residents and the Christian Peacemaker Teams, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) working in the area.

Furthermore, three water cisterns have been destroyed, and in late 2007 a demolition order was issued against a fourth well. The village also continues to lose farmland.

"My family has lost 20-25 dunams [20-25sqkm] of land in recent years, because of the settlements," Muhammed Kamal Jaber, also a refugee, told IRIN.

Recently, one of the many racists in Israel who is a government official said he wanted to solve the problem of 'illegal' houses in Palestinian lands: he wants to build a city and park all Arabs inside. I pointed out that this was a ghetto he was talking about. The Jews who came from America and Europe have many very smart people in their ranks. They know perfectly well how to pretend poor people from building houses. They write many laws concerning this process and then throw as many barriers as possible in the way of anyone who is not part of their race so they can live as if it is Alabama, circa 1950. Virtually no building permits are given to ANY non-Jew. This openly discriminatory policy has forced Palestinians to live in increasingly crowded conditions. Exactly how it was here in America back in my youth. My father, when we lived in the South, had to sign a contract saying he would never sell his property to a 'Negro'. They were allowed in our community ONLY as servants.

Activists bar clinic to Israeli bulldozers

The West Bank village of Baqaa and its surrounding environs, near the city of Hebron, has only one medical center to meet the needs of about 1,000 Palestinians. But it, together with 11 homes, faces imminent demolition by Israeli bulldozers for being constructed without building permits.

Palestinians say they cannot afford the high application costs for the permits or wade through the long bureaucratic nightmare the process involves, especially when the answer is often negative, which it usually is in areas of the West Bank where Israel wants Palestinian communities to move out.

In this day and age, seeing Jews pull this trick is infuriating. These are not foreigners who don't know better. THESE ARE AMERICANS. The happy family in the first story here were permitted to build their house out of debris they picked up. They were allowed water and electricity. They were allowed to be daring and make their house their own way. They were selected for this story because the land was 'bought' by one of the world's richest men as he sought to undermine the Ottoman Empire and create a Jews-only state right in the middle of a large Muslim/Christian community.

The brutal demolition of homes of natives is stepping up. This month, the invaders announced that they will build even more housing for Jews only, ALL of it on confiscated land taken by force from the natives who should be living there. This is ILLEGAL. I will note the total lack of rage here in the US over this confiscation of land and the provocation that has lead to the killing of Americans in the past and will, in the future. The people doing all this are AMERICANS. Like the family above.

The NYT is perfectly fine with Americans sneering at us here at in America. This particular family thinks our nation has problems. Well, why do they prefer a nation that has gross civil rights violations that are totally illegal here in America, they think THAT is better than HERE? What the hell?

Weekly Report: on Israeli Human Rights violations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory

Weekly Report: On Israeli Human Rights Violations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory - 28 Feb.- 05 Mar. 2008

Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) Continue Systematic Attacks against Palestinian Civilians and Property in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT)

110 Palestinians, including 51 civilians, were killed by IOF in the Gaza Strip.

The victims include 27 children (including 2 babies) and 6 women and a paramedic.

69 of the victims were killed by IOF in Jabalya and its vicinity.

77 Palestinians, including 28 civilians (this figure includes 15 children and 3 women), were killed by air strikes.

236 Palestinians, including 154 civilians (this figure includes 56 children and 11 women) were wounded by IOF.

4 Palestinians, including 2 civilians, were killed by IOF in the West Bank.

One of the victims was killed by an Israeli settler.

29 Palestinians, including 11 children, were wounded by IOF in the West Bank.

The list goes on and on. Any time the natives strike out at the invaders, they are called 'terrorists' but when Jewish invaders shoot small girls who are walking to school, this is not even reported, much less, commented on here in the US. The attachment of the US to this gross, apartheid state is destroying our own nation. We must denounce the entire concept of 'Israel' if we wish to save our own nation from ethnic cleansing and religious wars in the future. We can't have a Constitution and Civil Rights if we support, fund and enable Civil Wrongs in Palestine! Period.

A Defeated Policy,
Not A Defeated People

In 2002, Israeli army chief Moshe Yaalon declared that "the Palestinians must be made to understand in the deepest recesses of their consciousness that they are a defeated people." This would be achieved by the massive and constant application of force until they got the message. The same philosophy was elaborated in 2004 by Professor Arnon Soffer, one of the architects, with former Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon, of the 2005 Gaza "disengagement."

Soffer, an avid supporter of turning Gaza into a hermetically-sealed pen for unwanted Palestinians, explained that if Palestinians fire a single rocket over the fence into Israel, "we will fire 10 in response. And women and children will be killed, and houses will be destroyed. After the fifth such incident, Palestinian mothers won't allow their husbands to shoot Qassams [rockets], because they will know what's waiting for them."

Soffer predicted that in a few years' time, "when 2.5 million people live in a closed-off Gaza, it's going to be a human catastrophe. Those people will become even bigger animals than they are today, with the aid of an insane fundamentalist Islam." With Palestinians closed in, "The pressure at the border will be awful," Soffer predicted. "It's going to be a terrible war. So, if we want to remain alive, we will have to kill and kill and kill. All day, every day."

To be fair, Soffer did display a human side: "The only thing that concerns me is how to ensure that the boys and men who are going to have to do the killing will be able to return home to their families and be normal human beings" ("It's the demography, stupid," The Jerusalem Post, 21 May 2004).

The Nazis had no trouble with annihilating millions of innocent people, millions of Jews, Gypsies, Russians, Serbs, minority religions, homosexuals, writers, you name it. They merrily did their dirty work and then went home to eat, sleep and make merry exactly like the family in the New York Times lifestyle story. No trouble at all.

ARREST SPITZER

March 10, 2008

Elaine Meinel Supkis

As details leech out of the Spitzer whore/politician tale of woes, more and more crimes bubble to the surface. There are enough now that I must say, 'Arrest Spitzer.' As a moralist, he must understand the need for being punished. Stealing a friend's name in order to have sado-masochist sex with a very expensive female is a crime. If this clown wanted to have wild sex, he could do it in his own name. Just like I would be angry if a prostitute who wasn't me, used my name to do her business. It is illegal. So off with you, Eliott. Have fun in jail.

Washington Post screen shot: note the hotel ad!

Spitzer is thinking of resigning:

He testified before Congress about the bond insurance crisis the following morning. Among the open questions is where Mr. Spitzer’s security detail was while the prostitute was inside the hotel.

The affidavit says that he met with the woman in hotel room 871 but does not identify the hotel. Room 871 at the Mayflower Hotel that evening was registered under the name George Fox.

One of the law enforcement officials said that several people running the prostitution ring knew Mr. Spitzer by the name of George Fox, though a few of the prostitutes came to realize he was the governor of New York.

Mr. Fox is a friend and a donor to Mr. Spitzer. Asked in a telephone interview on Monday whether he accompanied Mr. Spitzer to Washington on Feb. 13 and Feb. 14, Mr. Fox responded: “Why would you think that? I did not.”

Told that the Room 871 at the Renaissance Mayflower Hotel was registered in Mr. Fox’s name but with Mr. Spitzer’s Fifth Avenue address, Mr. Fox said, “That is the first I have heard of it. Until I speak to the governor further, I have no comment.”

One politician who got in trouble partially due to me being sufficiently angry about his corruption, I went to the FBI, killed himself in the kitchen with a knife when they came to arrest him. He was skimming parking meters and violations in the auto department. He finally stepped on enough toes for us to request a wire tap on his phone. End of story.

In this case, the tipping point for me was the fake name business. Impersonating someone else so you can commit a minor crime is a MAJOR crime. Making up a name is one thing, using a friend's name is a whole different matter. Why didn't he sign himself as 'Herr Schickelgruber'? Aside from this, the dark side of his nature is dangerous. Not a good thing for his present position of authority.

I suppose Spitzer is sitting in the Governor's mansion which is this sprawling, brooding 12th century-style 1880's rock/sandstone pile. Very much a Citizen's Kane structure. Perhaps Hillary Clinton can send her husband to give him the bad news. 'I didn't pay, buddy,' he could say. Then shove the guy out the door into the arms of the Law.

NYT:

In a wiretapped conversation after the encounter, the prostitute, Kristen, called her booker to inform her that the session went well, and that she did not find the client “difficult,” as other prostitutes apparently had, according to the affidavit.

The booker responds that he, in an apparent reference to Client 9, sometimes asks the women “to do things that, like, you might not think were safe.”

I know a fair amount about prostitution. Ahem. And I know the code for 'sado/masochist'. This man needs psychological help. And maybe a 15 minute session with Judge Judy. I am curious, though. Most men like him like to be abused. The meek guys want to be the whippers. High heels? Heh. Most men, by the way, want a reasonable ear and close attention to their complaints. The feeling most good, higher class prostitutes have is, the guy will pay double for psychiatric-level listening and the appropriate positive reinforcement. Many men paying for sex have too many problems to do it, anyway. They want reassurance and a queer sort of love/admiration.

But Spitzer didn't need this. He was, like so many of his ilk, out of control. He wanted to hyper-express himself. I remember Gary Hart. His stupid things he did, wrecking his career. He dared reporters to photograph him monkeying around. So he sets sail on 'Monkey Business' and is nailed. I was utterly disgusted with his sheer stupidity. Ditto with Clinton who got hard on, knowing the GOP was frantically hunting him down and the Secret Service was itching to find fault. So he blew it and set us on a path of completely stupid stuff that was annoying as hell except for comedians.

Pathetic. Make Eliott feel important? Well, he certainly made the news. And the 'non-verbal communication skills'....hahaha. SMMMOOOOCH. Classy joint. And they charged over $5000 an hour?

S&M, by the way, got double pay back then, even. Always does, there is art to that. One can't merely flail around. You have to have good skills with judging how much menace or pain to inflict, when and where. It is a difficult art like any performance art.

Maybe Spitzer can write a book about this.

Clinton declines comment on Spitzer, scrubs campaign site

"I don't have any comment on that. Obviously I am sending my best wishes and thoughts to the governor and to his family," Clinton said, opening her first campaign swing through Pennsylvania, which holds its presidential primary April 22.
*snip*
It was a blow to Clinton, who recently had intensified her criticism of rival Barack Obama's relationship with Antoin "Tony" Rezko, a political patron on trial in federal court in Obama's hometown of Chicago for alleged fraud and corruption.

The website Radar reports that within an hour of the Spitzer story breaking, Clinton's campaign website removed the news that Spitzer had endorsed her.

Who will answer the phone at 3am?

'Hi, I'm Bambi. I'm going to whip your naughty ass.'
