Israel Cannot be Both Jewish and Democratic
A quote....""Information Clearing House" -- Israel continues to lurch and stagger in the darkened bog of tribal chauvinism. The Jewish state's further descent into the bellicose murk is being felt by the country's minorities. Home destructions and deportations are portentous of a bleaker future for non-Jews in Israel. -- Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza have lived under an Israeli apartheid regime for decades now. Over the years, Israel has demolished homes, kidnapped thousands of political prisoners, transferred 500,000 settler-colonists onto the West Bank, conducted massive military operations in civilian areas, hoarded the vast majority of Palestinian water, and committed a host of other crimes under the apartheid banner."

The Death of Zionism
A quote...."Zionism is a thorn in the world's side. Like all forms of politico-religious collective extremism, it is deceptive, cruel, and arrogantly self-righteous. Zionists have overstayed their welcome in the Middle East by about fifty years, and the longer they remain in power the worse off Israel, the Middle East, and the world will be. And they are not going anywhere, nor will they pursue a new policy, so it naturally falls on the injured party to remove a thorn from its side, and since America has the most powerful arm in the world, it must be the one to pull it out from the world's side, and stop the bleeding."

The American Media Empire of Managed News

The additional costs include...."
"This breaks down to $720 million spent each day on Iraq only, or $500,000 per minute. The cost of sending one soldier to Afghanistan is $3 million per year when these additional costs are added."

US and Israel: Taking the world down with them
A quote...."If and when the United States and Israel bomb Iran (marking the sixth country so blessed by Barack Obama) and this sad old world has a new daily horror show to look at on their TV sets, and we then discover that Iran was not actually building nuclear weapons after all, the American mainstream media and the benighted American mind will ask: “Why didn’t they tell us that? Did they want us to bomb them?”

Push for confrontation with Iran (sometimes) bears a Jewish stamp
A quote...."This is at the Council for the National Interest  blog under the heading, "Full-page ad in New York Times in April demonstrates who is pushing for war against Iran." I wish I could say it's a canard. But I can't. Couldn't they have gotten some non-Jewish groups aboard? Oh and yes the organizers say they're actuated by fears of climate change, but  why the Netanyahu quote and the emphasis on missiles?"

The Tears of Gaza Must Be Our Tears
A quote...."When I lived in Jerusalem I had a friend who confided in me that as a college student in the United States she attended events like these, wrote up reports and submitted them to the Israel consulate for money. It would be naive to assume this Israeli practice has ended. So, I want first tonight to address that person, or those persons, who may have come to this event for the purpose of reporting on it to the Israeli government." - also posted at ICH & AmericanEveryman

US to sell F-15 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia
A quote...."Washington: A $30 billion (Dh110 billion) 10-year arms deal by the US to sell advanced F-15 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia looks set to go ahead, but following concerns by Israel the jets will not be equipped with long-range weapons systems and other arms, diplomats and officials were quoted as saying in the Wall Street Journal. -- The US newspaper reports that the deal, which would be one of the biggest single agreements of its kind, has been a source of behind-the-scenes tension during months of negotiations." - bold by website editor

Report: U.S. downgrades Saudi arms deal over Israeli concerns
Related Article - A quote...."Wall Street Journal says U.S. to sell Saudis 84 F-15 fighter jets in $30 billion deal, but without long-range weapons systems." - bold by website editor

Many of you out there who aren't goy-cattle will ask, "why did Obama do this deal, isn't he the best little AIPAC/Israeli butt-kisser and sycophantic lackey ever selected as president?"  Indeed he is, the absolute best in fact.  After all, prior to his coronation as Emperor he stood around while 1,400 Palestinian men, women and children were needlessly slaughtered by the Israelis so they could prove what "menshes" they are after Hezbollah handed them a humiliating defeat during their second attempted invasion of Lebanon.

How bombing 1.5 million refugees penned up in what is effectively a large open-air prison and who are armed only with AK-47s, with US-NRE supplied DIME, Flechete, High Explosive, and White Phosphorous bombs, would prove Israeli competence at anything but brutal, cowardly, murder is a total mystery to this website editor
.

That said, Obama has a few, rather LARGE budgetary problems to contend with.  During the last several months somebody has been trying to help him with his spending problems and has been buying hundreds of billions worth of long term bonds from the US-NRE through the London market.  Rumor has it, it's the Saudi Royals.  Obviously they would have done so in an effort to ease this deal through Congress and Obama's administration.

So money still talks
in the Empire's capital, even in the AIPAC/Israeli controlled corridors of power in Washington DC. - mpg

Why the United States Will Not Strike Iran Now
A quote...."The reasons that there will be no US war or military strike against Iran, in the near future, and under the current political environment, are that the US military command, under the guidance of its political leadership, is implementing a strategy of “deterrence” to prevent Iran from continuing its nuclear program. This strategy is based on the latest US military concept of “Joint Operations” which was released on 15 January 2009." -- For more on this issue see....It's a Bit Early for Another War, But Then Again....  07-08-10 - mpg

GOP Blank Check for War?
A quote...."High among the blunders of history was the “blank cheque” Kaiser Wilhelm gave Vienna, after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, to deal with the Serbs as they saw fit. - Five weeks later, Vienna cashed the check and declared war, after Belgrade refused to submit to all 10 demands of an ultimatum. Russia mobilized; Germany and France followed. And war came, the bloodiest in all of European history with 9 million soldiers in their graves. - Since June 1914, a “blank check” given by one nation to another for war has been regarded as strategic folly."

The Trouble With Unconstitutional Wars
A quote...."by Rep. Ron Paul -- Our foreign policy was in the spotlight last week, which is exactly where it should be. Almost two years ago many voters elected someone they thought would lead us to a more peaceful, rational co-existence with other countries. However, while attention has been focused on the administration’s disastrous economic policies, its equally disastrous foreign policies have exacerbated our problems overseas. Especially in times of economic crisis, we cannot afford to ignore costly foreign policy mistakes. That’s why it is important that U.S. foreign policy receive some much needed attention in the media, as it did last week with the leaked documents scandal."

Of course, were Americans to attack Somalia, these guns would be discovered, and no doubt would be traced back to an Islamic terrorist group in Bosnia (which could then be attacked for harboring an Islamic terrorist group), thus justifying the American invasion as part of the 'war on terror'."  ---  "Meanwhile, another American Jew is in trouble for pretending to be an Islamist terrorist. Shades of Adam Gadahn. These people aren't usually arrested, so you have to wonder if the Americans are finally showing some displeasure at all the false flags."

Obama Is Preparing to Bomb Iran
Major Geo-Political Analysis - War Alert - A quote...."After about two and a half years during which the danger of war between the United States and Iran was at a relatively low level, this threat is now rapidly increasing. A pattern of political and diplomatic events, military deployments, and media chatter now indicates that Anglo-American ruling circles, acting through the troubled Obama administration, are currently gearing up for a campaign of bombing against Iran, combined with special forces incursions designed to stir up rebellions among the non-Persian nationalities of the Islamic Republic. Naturally, the probability of a new fake Gulf of Tonkin incident or false flag terror attack staged by the Anglo-American war party and attributed to Iran or its proxies is also growing rapidly.

We Are Not Special, and There Is No Happy Ending: The Blood-Drenched Darkness of American Exceptionalism -- Quote of the Day...."I have sometimes remarked that myths which assume importance in the manner of the exceptionalist myth constitute life itself. It is crucial to appreciate that this is how it operates in psychological terms. In a contest between a belief system which provides identity and self-worth and facts which threaten that identity and self-worth, it is frequently the facts which many people choose to discard. -- Occasionally, when the destructive (and self-destructive) effects of a belief system become sufficiently overwhelming, a person will decide to question and eventually dispense with the belief system. The process can be agonizingly difficult. Many people prefer to avoid it. Most of us are familiar with the tragic story of the individual who refuses to give up the myth that he still believes provides him consolation and meaning -- even when clinging to the myth leads to his own death. Countries can behave in the identical manner; history provides numerous examples of the same tragedy on a national scale." - also posted at Uruknet

Invisible Holocaust: Iraqi Sanction Criminals Seek Reprise in Iran
A quote...."In the last decade of the 20th century, a nation often hailed (not least by itself) as the "world's greatest democracy" directed a program of savage economic warfare against a broken, defenseless country. This blockade, carried out with an exacting bureaucratic coldness, killed, by very conservative estimate, at least one million innocent people. More than half of these victims were young children. -- Dead children. Thousands of dead children. Tens of thousands of dead children, Hundreds of thousands of dead children. Mountains of dead children. Vast pestiferous slagheaps of dead children. This is what the world's greatest democracy created, deliberately, coldly, as a matter of carefully considered national policy."

When Money Buys Integrity - Economics in Freefall
A quote...."I admire Joselph E. Stiglitz, because he has a social conscience and a sense of justice, the absence of which turns economists into monsters. Despite his virtues and Nobel Prize, Stiglitz sometimes falls down as an economist. Readers of my new book,  How The Economy Was Lost, will be aware that I take him to task for the Solow-Stiglitz production function, which seriously misleads economics about the scarcity of nature’s capital. - Another of Stiglitz’s shortcomings, one that he shares with most economists, is his habit of reifying* the market economy. The market is a social organization. The results of market activity reflect the behavior of the human participants in the market. When economists reify the market, they attribute the behavior, ethics, and morality--or lack thereof--of humans to the market itself." - *link added

Obama's Collapse
A quote...."The spectacle of an American sucking up to an Israeli Prime Minister is familiar but no less sickening every time it happens. Not since Eisenhower has an American president had the guts to stand up to Israel. With this single exception, all of them have fallen over in their haste to give Israel whatever it wants and to hold it responsible for nothing, not even the murder of its own citizens. The recent meeting between Barack Obama, effectively apologising because his middle name is Hussein, and Benyamin Netanyahu surely marks the lowest point in this sick relationship. Obama has now thrown in the towel. That is what the White House meeting represented. He talked of a peace process which does not exist and Israeli 'concessions' which have never been made. Obama wants the non-existent peace process to be resumed with a Palestinian government that is not the Palestinian government and a Palestinian president who is not the president." - also posted at AlethoNews

Utter absence of grace looks even worse with increasing power. -- It is interesting that grace, or at least the appearance of grace, is one of the leading values of the WASPs the Jews beat out to take over America. People with power who choose never to pass up a chance to prove their power and vindictiveness, who revel in winning every tiny battle while wrecking their opponents, are remembered, but not fondly.

Reflection upon the central premises and objectives in America's vast military enterprise in the Middle East has never been more urgent. The stakes have been raised. Questioning the official story of 9/11 is now a matter of human survival. We can not ignore the calling of history any longer.

Mistah McChrystal - he dead
A quote...."When it comes to American wars, history has a kinky habit of repeating itself as farce over and over again. So now the Pentagon has been plunged into turmoil because General Stanley McChrystal, former United States and North Atlantic Treaty Organization commander in Afghanistan, was featured unplugged in a Rolling Stone magazine interview. -- Those were the days when the Washington Post used to bring down a president (now the Post, as well as The New York Times, prefer war, on Iraq, on AfPak, on Iran). Gonzo master Hunter S Thompson anyway must be celebrating with heavenly tequila shots in his wild and crazy tomb; Rolling Stone after all managed to bring down a general - to the sound of The End by The Doors."

A comment: Revisiting George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four in 2010
A quote...."Since first appearing in the popular lexicon, the term “Orwellian” has conjured up a vision of the prototypical “totalitarian state”: a one-party dictatorship that swarmed with secret police, spied on its own people, quashed dissent, made arbitrary arrests, tortured prisoners, waged perpetual war, rewrote history for mere expedience, impoverished its own working population, and rooted its political discourse in doublethink—a thought system defined as “the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”  --  Many Americans would easily recognize this description of “Oceania,” the futuristic dystopia immortalized by George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, one of the most influential English-language novels of the mid-twentieth century.  --  Whether many Americans recognize that this description applies to their own society as well is another matter. But since the theft of the 2000 election—a period marked by such events as the 9/11 attacks, the invasion of Iraq based on fictitious “WMD” (weapons of mass destruction), the torture scandals, and the 2008 financial crash—it’s a point that increasing numbers of Americans seem to be grasping." - also posted at DProgram

Trial Delayed in New Fake Terror Case
A quote...." We are in the middle of another manufactured-terrorism case, this one in Newburgh, and it was going very smoothly until last week, when the presiding federal judge postponed the scheduled trial indefinitely, ordering the government to turn over more evidence that might be helpful to the defense. The defendants are four petty criminals, three black Americans and one Haitian, all of whom converted to Islam in prison and upon their release took to frequenting a mosque in Newburgh. -- They were recruited into a fake terrorist plot by the same wretch who a few years ago duped two Albany Muslims into an exchange of checks for cash that could be sold to a jury as money-laundering in support of terrorism. -- The FBI is still working him. I had thought such efforts to create terrorists in order to arrest them was an artifact of the Bush administration, which seemed unable to distinguish between real enemies and imaginary, but I was wrong. Here we are with a new, supposedly more enlightened, president and it's still going on."

‘Manchurian Candidate’ Shahzad confesses all
A quote...."“The thing is here’s a guy who came here at age 18 on a student visa in 1998 (pre-War on Terror) and got a computer science degree from the University of Bridgeport, Connecticut, followed by an M.B.A, which got him a job with a financial company in nearby Stamford. Not exactly Osama bin Forgotten. By 2009, Shahzad became an American citizen like his wife. He bought their one family dream-house in April in the ‘picture book’ American suburb of Shelton, replete with picket fences, front porch colonials, kids scuttling to school buses and ‘golden retrievers’ posing on well-trimmed front yards. Shahzad’s smiling wife wore ‘traditional clothes.’ -- “Furthermore, his family background in Pashto, Pakistan, is elite. He speaks Pashto, a rare asset, and his father, Baharu ul-Haq, is a retired senior [Pakistan] air force officer...."

Neoliberal and “Israel Firster”, Joe Lieberman, Wants the US to be More Like China When it Comes to Silencing Dissent - Special Note - A quote...."The aim is pretty simple, once a war breaks out based on yet another false flag event, this administration would be able to turn off websites that delve into anything that could call the official narrative into question. Dick Cheney, eat your heart out. Imagine if Bush had tried to get away with something like this back in his day. The “progressives” would have had an embolism… yet now?  (crickets and tumble weeds) -- Just look at the result from the sinking of the Cheonan.  The people of South Korea began to question the official story almost immediately, information was shared at a rapid pace, evidence was uncovered that undermined the “official investigation” and the end the end result was a stunning loss for the ruling party on June 2nd, an investigation into the “official investigation”, and high-ranking military officers had to step down.  Not to mention the U.S./South Korean naval manuevers in the area off North Korea’s coast were canceled twice. The fact is, the U.S. led travesty of an international “investigation” failed to justify the State Department’s desire to inflict regime change in North Korea… and the internet was largely to thank for that." - For more on this issue see....US-False Flag Ops - The Sinking of the Cheonan - Updated!

The Death State Brutalizes, Tortures and Murders Because It Can
A quote...."What had been abhorrent and detestable under Bush becomes acceptable under Obama, at least to the extent that notable opposition has now absented itself altogether from the political scene. This was always the singular danger in Obama's candidacy, as a few of us had predicted. But almost no one heeded the warning. Americans simply and with immeasurable simple-mindedness adore the marketing. Throw an unending stream of shockingly empty, windy phrases at them, and they will collapse in paroxysms of self-induced ecstasy -- provided the person doing it is of a class they view with particular favor. They will be more than happy to supply the nonexistent content out of their own oversized vanity and preferred self-conception." - also posted at TheExcavator

Who Says We Can't Criticize Israel?
A quote...."Like a postage stamp that has been licked too often, a word can lose its power and authority if it is used indiscriminately. -- So it is with the word "terrorist" that is now routinely applied by governments all over the world to demonize and marginalize political opposition. And likewise with the word "anti-semitic" which is a label stuck on just about anyone who is not in total support of the state of Israel and its treatment of the Palestinians." - also posted at AlethoNews

A Zionist state of mind, a dreamscape of ghosts: One Jew’s hard awakening
A quote...."The Jewish side of myself understands the historical traumas that gave rise to the yearning for a tribal homeland. Atavistically, I suffer the Jewish state’s collective night terrors and reel in its daylight rationalizations for its brutalities. But the Native American in me knows the rage of those crushed by the heartless force of an invading people. -- Neither my father’s people’s bows and arrows nor the “threat” of metal rods, clutched by a few activists aboard the illegally seized Gaza-bound Peace Flotilla, nor Hamas’ small rockets will change the tragic trajectory wrought by a tribalist land grab. History reveals a conquered and caged people will starve, in both body and soul, as they watch their hopes wither to dust. But I will not condemn them for their struggle, and even their “provocations” -- dangerous and outrageous provocations . . . such as the desire not to live out their lives behind ghetto walls, and the actions they take accordingly. (Even though, a provocation will never soften the banal mind of a bully to end his reign of brutality.)

Getting Out of Palestine?
A quote...."When veteran journalist Helen Thomas was asked recently if she had any comments on Israel, she shot back, 'Tell them to get the hell out of Palestine.'

Tea Party: Rename NYC "Israel"
A quote...."Rob D. Rich, who leads the Tea Party for Freedom in Texas, said last week he believes New York City should be renamed Israel. New York's Bloomberg administration responded by saying that Texas could also be renamed Little Mexico. -- "New York City is Israel," said Rich, who heads the third-largest party in the US. "Changing its name to Israel will end the conflict in the Middle East and provide the Israelis with an alternate homeland." Rich added that Palestine deserved a special status in the US government because it was fighting for Al-Quds."

One Minute to Midnight; When We Compromise No More
A quote...."In 1940 an honored U.S. citizen checked himself into a Naval hospital. He was 58 at the time.  A few weeks later, one of the most decorated U.S. Marines in history, Smedley Butler, was gone. - By his own accounting Smedley Butler loved the men who served under him, he loved the Corp, and he loved his country. He was a brave man who possessed a rare combination of physical and moral courage and he was probably killed by cowards. He had taken a course of action in direct opposition to the real power of this country. He had been offered the keys to the kingdom in exchange for doing to this country what he had done to so many others during the span of his illustrious career, yet he refused. - Like Andrew Jackson before him, Smedley Butler chose to expose to his fellow countrymen something that few have ever known; war is a racket and the criminals who run it are the greatest threat to humanity we have ever known."

China finally Learns the Truth about the ["]Jews["]
A quote...."Until recently, the notion that Jews and money were inseparable carried no anti-Semitic undertone in the country, but a relatively new book called “Currency Wars”* threatens to change all that. -- The book’s author, Song Hongbing, claims that behind world-changing events like the battle of Waterloo, Adolf Hitler’s rise to power, President Kennedy’s assassination, and the deep recession in Asia during the 1990s stood an intricate conspiracy aimed at increasing Jews’ wealth and influence. -- Song, a Chinese computer engineer and history buff who resides in the United States, writes that almost every defining historical moment has been instigated by Jewish bankers, and mainly the Rothschild family, which Song says dominates the global banking system, including the US Federal Reserve System." - also posted at WarInIraq - *link added -- Website editor's special note:  Although this website editor takes a very dim view of minority control of any nation state, it is after all un-democratic (in the US-NRE the Jewish community makes up just 1.8% to 2% or 5.5 to 6 million of the 320 million people living in this country) and this website editor has already attempted a few poorly written essays on the subject of currency wars, one of which is actually entitled  "The First Salvos of the Currency Wars" - 05-07-10 - mpg, before we start linking these two issues together, and attempt to blame everything on the "Jews", one would first have to see just how much of the TBTF banks the "Jewish Community" actually controls. - mpg

A quote...."People are starting to notice that it is rather hypocritical for the Jews - and yes, it was the Jews - to crucify - and yes, it was a crucifixion - Helen Thomas for the sin of being flippant about what should be done about the sins of the Jewish people. The mass ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians is an obsession of World Jewry. An obsession.  --  There are entire books written about the role of transfer in the history of Zionism (see a list of links here, "Expulsion of the Palestinians: The Concept of "Transfer" in Zionist Political Thought, 1882-1948" by Nur Masalha, "The Palestinian exodus, 1948-1998" edited by Ghada Karmi and Eugene Cotran containing a relevant article by Nur Masalha, another article by Nur Masalha here, and the book by Chaim Simons, available here as a pdf). --  For a group which likes to say 'A land without a people for a people without a land', they sure spent a lot of time planning the mass transplantation of the people who apparently weren't there."

Gordon Duff: What Israel’s Execution Of An American Teen Means (Plus Late Breaking…)-- A quote...."An American teenager was murdered by Israel commandos, pirates really, this week.  He was shot in the abdomen and, instead of being given medical aid, he was held down on the deck of a ship, probably by multiple pairs of combat boots and shot four times in the back of the head at close range.  Reports from the Israeli Knesset have Israeli boats approaching the unarmed flotilla, machine guns pouring lead across the decks.  These facts won’t be in any American or British newspaper or on the television news, not the corporate networks anyway.  Israel dictates what is reported, even by the BBC, an organization they control entirely.' - also posted at WarInIraq

Israel, Nazi propaganda chief Göebbels would have been proud of you By William Bowles
Israeli Presstitute Alert - (BBC) - A quote...."s the true nature of the massacre on the Mavi Marmara becomes apparent now that witnesses can speak out, so too is the scale of the pre-planned propaganda blitz conducted by the Israelis, a blitz that was launched in tandem with the armed attack. -- Clearly planned well in advance of the attack (right down to paintball guns)—and with the able assistance of the Western media—Israel has shown how reality can be manipulated; day turned into night, wrong into right, black into white. -- Just how well the Western media covers for the actions of the rogue state of Israel can be seen by comparing the BBC report, also from Turkey, with the Zaman Today article quoted from above."

How Israeli propaganda shaped U.S. media coverage of the flotilla attack
Israel's Propaganda LIES Exposed - A quote...."It was clear from the moment news of the flotilla attack emerged that Israel was taking extreme steps to suppress all evidence about what happened other than its own official version.  They detained the flotilla passengers and barred the media from speaking with them, thus, as The NYT put it, "refusing to permit journalists access to witnesses who might contradict Israel's version of events."  They detained the journalists who were on the ship for days and seized their film, video and cameras.  And worst of all, the IDF -- while still refusing to disclose the full, unedited, raw footage of the incident -- quickly released an extremely edited video of their commandos landing on the ship, which failed even to address, let alone refute, the claim of the passengers:  that the Israelis were shooting at the ship before the commandos were on board." - also posted at AmericanEveryman
