THERMITE CUTTING STEEL - VALIDATED - EXPERIMENTALLY DEMONSTRATED&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Molten metal seen pouring out from the north face (near north east corner) around floor 80 of the WTC2 South Tower on 9/11, timed at a few minutes before the total destruction of the building (around 9:57am)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;"The steel was so hot from the jet fuel that, uh, it was literally steaming. Your boots would melt in certain areas. That's how hot it was. The steel was coming out red in certain areas for the first couple weeks, at least."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;THREE Explosions After Plane Hit WTC&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Footage shot September 11, 2001. Just amazing footage of these brave fire fighters, they try to explain 3 bombs going off while still dazed.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;em&gt;Firefighters extinguished almost all but the last remnants of&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;underground fires that have burned at the World Trade Center site for more than three months since the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt; Battalion Chief Brian Dixon confirmed later Wednesday that the main bodies of fire had been extinguished, although he said small pockets or "hot spots" are still being discovered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Dixon noted a firetruck remains on standby at the site, and the department considers it an active fire scene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fires that began with the Sept. 11 attacks had been strong enough that firetrucks had to spray a nearly constant jet of water on them. At times, the flames slowed the work of clearing the site.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;"You couldn't even begin to imagine how much water was pumped in there,"&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;said Tom Manley of the Uniformed Firefighters Association, the largest fire department union. "It was like you were creating a giant lake."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Source:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2001/12/19/archive/main321907.shtml" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;CBS News&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;It was determined that 3 million gallons of water were hosed on site in the fire-fighting efforts between 9/11 and 9/21″… “In addition, there were 2 episodes of rain during the same 10 day period after the attack: on 9/14 and 9/20, totaling 0.9 million gallons of water per Bathtub area. Considering the neighboring area, one can take 1 million gallons from the rain. Therefore, a total of 4 million gallons of water percolated through the debris in the first 10 days&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;and collected at the bottom of the Bathtub.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Source PDF file:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.llnl.gov/tid/lof/documents/pdf/240430.pdf" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;Article Submitted to the American Chemical Society National Meeting, Orlando, Florida in April 2002&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FOUR MILLION GALLONS onto the WTC wreckage, in the first 10 days after 9/11. All of that water would've diluted any remaining jet and diesel fuel, and the gasoline that was in the vehicles in the WTC parking areas. Due to the vehicles getting crushed ,the fuel would've spilled out, then diluted by all that water to the point it would no longer be flammable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So for a fire to be burning THREE MONTHS later, after millions and millions of gallons of water being used,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;shows without a doubt that there was some kind of chemical agent used in the WTC attack that was resistant to water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'Lucky' Larry not the only one to be 'lucky' on 9/11&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.historycommons.org/timeline.jsp?timeline=complete_911_timeline&amp;amp;startpos=3000#a903" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;President Bush's cousin, Jim Pierce&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, managing director of the AON Corporation, an insurance company with offices in WTC 2.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;He had arranged a business conference, to be held on the tower’s 105th floor this morning. However, the previous night, the conference was moved to the Millennium Hotel.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Another 'miracle,' this time at the Pentagon!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.historycommons.org/context.jsp?item=a903werenext" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;Between 9:03 a.m. and 9:37 a.m. September 11, 2001, NBC News correspondent Jim Miklaszewski is heading down a hall inside the Pentagon when he runs into a Defense Department official who tells him "We're Next,"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and to stay away from the E-ring, the outermost corridor of the Pentagon.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;This fine paper underwent several months of rather arduous peer-review preceding its publication in the Journal of 9/11 Studies. The paper supports work by James Gourley published in the Journal of Engineering Mechanics and recent analysis by David Chandler. A few quotes from the paper should wet your interest:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"In its Final Report on the Collapse of the World Trade Center Towers, the National Institute of Standards and Technology summarizes its three year study and outlines its explanation of the total collapse of WTC 1 and WTC 2.[1]&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Readers of the report will find that the roughly $20 million expended on this effort have resulted in an explanation of the total collapse of these buildings that is so vague it barely qualifies as a hypothesis. But it does have one crucial feature of a hypothesis: it is, in principle, falsifiable. In fact, it is easy to demonstrate that it is false.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What a Gravity-Driven Demolition Looks Like&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Many of these people are members of satanic secret societies, and are deeply involved in the new age movement and numerology, and their main goal is a "New World Order", with them in charge. On this level there are several instances in recent history that these forces have used numerological signals to send to each other&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;iframe align="right" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=aaag-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=bpl&amp;amp;asins=1157705081&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://misc-library.blogspot.com/2010/09/911connecting-dots.html" style="color: #cc3300; text-decoration: none;"&gt;9-11&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;attacks have a HUGE number of signals related to numerology. They occurred exactly 11 years to the day after President George Bush Senior gave a major address to Congress entitled, "Toward A New World Order". That address was on September 11, 1990. Precisely 11 years to the day later, American Airlines Flight 11 started the attacks of 9-11-2001 when it slammed into the north tower of the World Trade Center. The towers, of course, symbolized a huge 11 over the skies of New York. The Pentagon was modeled after the satanic symbol of the pentagram. Another fact about the Pentagon is that its ground breaking ceremony, and beginning of construction, took place on SEPTEMBER 11th 1941. Why is the Number `11' important?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;How does this relate to London? The date of course was 7/7. Also the year is 2005, 7/7/2005: 7/7/2+0+0+5: 7/7/7 = 777. Also the number the Bible gives the beast from the pit is 666. If you add: 666+111=777.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;The&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;Madrid train bombings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;consisted of a series of coordinated bombings against the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;Cercanías&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;(commuter train) system of&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;Madrid,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;Spain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;on the morning of 11 March 2004 (three days before Spain's general elections&lt;/span&gt;).The satanic number has been fully used.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; line-height: 16px;"&gt;The coordinated shooting and bombing in the most populous city of India, Mumbai occurred on November; again the month is number Eleven in the calendar. And more recently the bombings in Kampala Uganda took place on 11&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;of July 2010(again the date is eleven)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;All of this fits far too neatly into their satanic number code. If you recall it was flight 77 that slammed into the Pentagon. Multiples of 11 are often used by these Satanists to send out a secret signal to each other in instances like these, almost like some kind of demonic smoke signal. If you recall; there were 911 days BETWEEN the day of the 9/11 Attacks and the 2004 Madrid Train Bombings on March 11, (again the 11). Why is the Number `11' important? Occultists believe it is an important number of the coming Antichrist. God assigns the Number `11' to Antichrist in Daniel 7:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The access to the region's rulers conferred by his position as an ex-PM and peace envoy must have huge attraction for potential clients of Tony Blair Associates, the secretive 'consultancy' that does not publish accounts which he runs with Jonathan Powell, his former Downing Street chief of staff. Its first clients are two of the world's richest families - the royals of Kuwait and Abu Dhabi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Tony Blair Associates is modelled on Henry Kissinger Associates, an outfit led by President Nixon's former Secretary of State. Fittingly, perhaps, Kissinger was on the jury that awarded Blair the $1million Dan David Prize earlier this year, the 'Israeli Nobel Prize'. Like Blair, Kissinger is employed by American bank JP Morgan. The citation praised Blair's 'exceptional leadership' and 'moral courage'.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Blair has promised to give most of the prize to his Faith Foundation, a charity set up to promote religious understanding.

Blair's predecessor as Quartet envoy, former World Bank president James Wolfensohn, spent weeks at a time working on the job full-time.

margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;'Rashid always had good contacts with MI6,' said a Palestinian businessman who has known him for years. 'He met them frequently when he was working with Arafat.'&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Libya, he added, was essentially a 'two-man show' - Colonel Gaddafi and his son, Saif al-Islam.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;By 2002, Rashid was not only Arafat's but Saif's financial adviser, and spending increasing amounts of time in Tripoli. That autumn, as the WMD storm gathered over Iraq,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Saif asked him to use his British contacts to open talks. 'After further messages had been passed via Rashid, Saif met three MI6 officers in a London hotel,' the businessman said. They were led by Mark Allen - who now works for BP.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Blair's spokesman said 'he has not spoken to or met Mohammed Rashid since leaving office'. Then again, he does not need to. The channel he had opened up allowed Blair to develop his own relationship with both Saif and Gaddafi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Since leaving No10, Blair has visited Libya numerous times. His spokesman would not state the purpose of his visits.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;But a friend of Rashid said: 'If you were JP Morgan, getting Blair involved makes sense. It means you can get close to Saif, and close to his father, and to the heads of the Libyan Investment Authority' - the state-owned body that has some £70billion to invest.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;He added: 'Rashid said Gaddafi and all his friends really want Blair to become Europe's President and would do what they can to help him.'&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Sources at JP Morgan confirmed that exploring the potential for bank business in Libya is one of Blair's roles. Oliver Miles, Britain's former ambassador to Libya, added: 'He's certainly acting on behalf of JP Morgan but he also has other interests. He's trying to get alongside the investment authority because they have a lot of money to invest.'&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

'Being envoy has allowed him to remain a player, to attend things like the UN General Assembly, and to look the presidents of Russia and China in the eye.'&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;One case illustrates his limitations - the setting up of Wataniya, the second Palestinian mobile-phone network. According to his spokesman, 'as a result of Mr Blair's relentless efforts, virtually all of the obstacles have been removed'.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;That is not how it looks to Alan Richardson, a Scot who is Wataniya's chief executive. 'I've set up networks in Iraq and Afghanistan,' he said at his office in Ramallah. 'Nothing there was as difficult as this.'&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Richardson's problem is that Israel signed an agreement to allow Wataniya to use a 4.8MHz bandwidth - enough to allow it to serve a million subscribers with a high-quality signal. Now, however, citing concerns about 'security', it says it will authorise only 3.8MHz - meaning Wataniya can provide only about half as many lines, and those with a poorer sound quality.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;With £400million already invested, Richardson's staff have built 350 transmitters and the rest of the network structure.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;'But we just can't meet the subscriber targets with the spectrum provided,' he said. 'We invested in a business plan that was based on false promises.'&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Wataniya has been forced to delay its launch several times.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;1. Did you know that non-Jewish Israelis cannot buy or lease land in Israel? A Jew from any country in the world is guaranteed citizenship in Israel, while the Palestinians who have been there for centuries are oppressed and persecuted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Did you know that instead of sewing an insignia on clothing to distinguish race (like the Germans did to the Jews before WW2), Palestinian license plates in Israel are color coded to distinguish Jews from non-Jews?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Did you know that East Jerusalem, the West Bank, Gaza, and the Golan Heights are all considered by the entire world community, including the United States and the United Nations, to be occupied territory and NOT part of the State of Israel?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Did you know that Israel allots 85% of the water resources for Jews, and the remaining 15% is divided among all Palestinians in the territories? For example in Hebron, 85% of the water is set aside for about 400 Jewish settlers, while the remaining 15% is distributed among Hebron's 120, 000 Palestinians?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Did you know that the United States awards Israel $5 billion in aid each year from American tax dollars?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Did you know that US aid to Israel ($1.8 billion annually in military aid alone) exceeds the aid the US grants to the entire African continent? This aid is used both to buy American weaponry and to buy arms made in Israel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. Did you know that Israel is awaiting an additional $4 billion worth of American military hardware, including new F-16s and Apache and Blackhawk helicopters. As Israel's main ally and supporter internationally, the United States is committed to maintaining the Jewish state's "qualitative edge" in weapons over its neighbours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Did you know that the U.S. administration has notified Congress on numerous occasions that Israel has violated the rules on how US-supplied weapons are used? (In 1978, 1979 and 1982 during fighting in Lebanon, and once after Israel's bombing of an Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1981.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;iframe align="right" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=aaag-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=bpl&amp;amp;asins=B00006KRY1&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9. Did you know that Israel is the only country in the Middle East that refuses to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and bars international inspections from its sites?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10. Did you know that high-ranking military officers in the Israeli Defence Forces have admitted publicly that unarmed prisoners of war have been summarily executed by the Israeli forces?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11. Did you know that Israel blew up an American diplomatic facility in Egypt and attacked a US warship in international waters (the USS Liberty), killing 33 and wounding 177 American sailors and the US did nothing about it? (Imagine if an Islamic country like Iraq did this!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12. Did you know that Israel stands in defiance of 69 United Nations Security Council Resolutions?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13. Did you know that Israel is explicitly dedicated to the policy of maintaining a distinct Jewish character?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14. Did you know that Israel's former Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, was found by an Israeli court to be "personally and directly responsible" for the Sabra and Shatilla massacre in Lebanon where more than a thousand innocent Palestinian men, women, and children were axed to death or lined up and shot in cold blood?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15. Did you know that on May 20, 1990, a group of unarmed Palestinian labourers were lined up and murdered by an Israeli solider as they sat waiting for transportation back to Gaza? The terrified labourers who gathered in an area of southern Israel known as Rishon Lezion (known to Palestinians by its Arabic name Oyon Qara) handed their ID cards to the Israeli soldier. The soldiers ordered the distressed labourers to kneel down and face the ground and unexpectedly showered them with a barrage of bullets, killing seven and wounding many others. Needless to say, the soldier was not charged with any crime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16. Did you know that until as recently as 1988, Israelis were permitted to run "Jews Only" job ads?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
17. Did you know that the Israeli Foreign Ministry pays six US public relations firms to promote a "positive image" of Israel to the American public?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
18. Did you know that Sharon's coalition government includes a party--Molodet--which advocates ethnic cleansing by openly calling for the forced expulsion of all Palestinians from the occupied territories?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
19. Did you know that recently-declassified documents indicate that David Ben-Gurion approved of the forced expulsion of Arabs from all Palestinian territory in 1948?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
20. Did you know that the former chief rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Ovadia Yossef, who is also a founder and spiritual leader of the religious Shas party (Israel's third largest political party) openly advocates a 'Final Solution' to annihilate the Palestinians? Speaking at the widely broadcast sermon marking the last Passover, he declared of the Palestinians: "The Lord shall return their deeds on their own heads, waste their seed and exterminate them, devastate them and vanish them from this world. It is forbidden to be merciful to them. You must send missiles to them and annihilate them. They are evil and damnable."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21. Did you know that Palestinian refugees make up the largest portion of the refugee population in the world?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22. Did you know that Palestinian Christians are considered the "living stones" of Christianity because they are the direct descendants of the disciples of Jesus Christ? And the Palestinian Christians stand united with their Muslim brethren in the struggle against the Israeli occupation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
23. Did you know that despite a ban on torture by Israel's High Court of Justice, torture has continued unabated by Shin Bet interrogators on Palestinian prisoners?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;iframe align="right" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=aaag-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=bpl&amp;amp;asins=B002EQA102&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
24. Did you know that despite every Israeli attempt to disrupt Palestinian education, Palestinians have the highest ratio of PhDs per capita in the world?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25. Did you know that the right of self-determination is guaranteed to every human being under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights [December, 1948], yet Palestinians were/are expected to negotiate for this right under the Oslo Accords?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
26. Did you know that despite what is widely perpetuated and written in the history books that the Arabs attacked Israel in the 1967 war, it was Israel who attacked the Arab countries first, capturing Jerusalem and the West Bank, and called the attack a pre-emptive strike?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
27. Did you know that, as an occupying power, Israel has a particular responsibility under the Geneva Conventions to protect Palestinian civilians?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
28. Did you know that, despite Ariel Sharon's public call for a unilateral ceasefire, Israeli soldiers have not stopped shooting, killing or bulldozing Palestinian homes? The most recent example of this is the murder of three innocent women who were shot by an Israeli tank as they sat in their tent!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
29. Did you know that the Zionists have been trying to destroy Masjid al-Aqsa and the Dome of the Rock for the last 50 years by digging underground tunnels beneath the sites to weaken its foundation causing it to collapse?&lt;br /&gt;

30. Nelson Mandela called the Israeli government an apartheid regime, just like South Africa used to be.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;The following is a compilation from mainstream media reports and other investigative research available on the web. Most of it never again repeated, clues, 'dots' never connected:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;- The World Trade Center needed repair since the late 1980s, some $200 million in renovations and improvements, mostly related to removal of building materials declared health hazards since the Towers were built. In fact, the Port Authority tried several times to get permits to demolish the buildings for liability reasons. The PA was turned down. The asbestos problem was no secret. The sole reason the complex was still up on 9/11/2001 was the cost of taking the Twin Towers down floor by floor.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;&lt;iframe align="right" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=aaag-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=bpl&amp;amp;asins=0812696123&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;- Larry Silverstein, a Zionist Jew, purchased a 99-year lease for the entire WTC complex just 6 months prior to the 9/11 attacks. That was the first time in its 33-year history the complex had ever changed ownership.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;Silverstein obtained this lease from his Jewish synagogue buddy, Lewis M Eisenberg, (who was then the Chairman of the Port Authority of New York), even though Vornado Realty outbid Silverstein by $50m.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;Mr. Silverstein, who must have known about the asbestos problem, made a down-payment of $124 million on this $3.2 billion complex, and promptly insured it for $3.6 billion. He also covered the complex against "terrorist attacks". In the contract Mr. Silverstein was also specifically given the right to rebuild the structures if they were destroyed. Mr. Silverstein changed the company responsible for the security of the complex to Securacom (now Stratasec) and provided electronic security. It also covered Dulles International Airport and United Airlines - two key players in the 9/11 attacks. George W. Bush's brother, Marvin Bush, was on its board of directors, and Marvin's cousin, Wirt Walker III, was its CEO Following the attacks, Mr. Silverstein filed two insurance claims for the maximum amount of the policy ($7.2B), based on the two -- in Mr. Silverstein's view -- separate attacks. The insurance company, Swiss Re, paid Mr. Silverstein $4.6 Billion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;- On 9/11 at least two Israel-based employees of the instant messaging service Odigo, which had headquarters two blocks from the WTC received warnings of an imminent attack in New York City two hours before the first plane hit the buildings.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;- Also on 9/11/2001 five "Middle Eastern men" were arrested in New Jersey by the FBI after having been seen on a roof top videotaping and celebrating the explosive collapses of the WTC. It was later confirmed that the five detained men were in fact agents of the Israeli military intelligence, Mossad. Their "moving van" from a Weehawken, N.J. company called Urban Moving Systems tested positive for explosives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;Dominic Suter, the Israeli owner of Urban Moving Systems, fled in haste after 9/11/2001.The arrested five Israelis were released after spending just 71 days in U.S. custody. The Assistant Attorney General in charge of criminal investigations at the time was Michael Chertoff, the current head of the Dept. of Homeland Security. Chertoff, the son of Israel's first Mossad agents, facilitated the 9-11 cover-up, is thought to be a dual national.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;One of the released Israeli agents later told Israeli radio that they had been sent to "document the event"...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;The official investigation under the control of the neocon Philip Zelikow thwarted any attempt at discovering the truth behind the attacks. Any questioning of the official narrative could simply be silenced as crazy 'conspiracy theory'.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was asked a day later what the attacks in New York and Washington would mean for US-Israeli relations. He said, "It's very good". Then he corrected himself, adding: "Well, it's not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy for Israel from Americans”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;BBC reports WTC7 collapse too early&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;On September 11th 2001, BBC World reported at 4:57pm Eastern Time that the Salomon Brothers Building (more commonly known as WTC7) had collapsed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;This even made the 5pm EST headlines, what is bizarre is that the building did not actually collapse until 5:20pm EST.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 20px;"&gt;9/11 was unusual enough, without BBC World being able to foretell the destiny of WTC 7.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;What is even stranger is that the woman reporter is telling the world that the building had collapsed when you can see it in the background over her left shoulder.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;So the question is, on 9/11, how did the BBC learn that WTC7 collapsed 23 minutes before it actually did?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;Building Seven was 47 storeys, modern in design with structural steel throughout, yet symmetrically collapsed in 6.5 seconds.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;No steel framed skyscraper has ever collapsed due to fire, before or after 9/11. It was brought down by a controlled demolition, even demolition experts agree.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;Insider Trading&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;Financial transactions in the days before the attack suggest that certain individuals used foreknowledge of the attack to reap huge profits. 1 The evidence of insider trading includes:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;• Huge surges in purchases of put options on stocks of the two airlines used in the attack -- United Airlines and American Airlines&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

However JP Morgan, the American investment bank that employs him as a consultant, has a financial stake in Wataniya through Wataniya’s owner, the Qatari firm Qtel, which is an important client of JP Morgan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;li style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-color: initial; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: initial; border-width: initial; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-indent: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Financial documents show that back in 2007, JP Morgan had been one of four ‘mandated lead arrangers’ of a $2 billion loan with which Qtel bought Wataniya from its original Kuwaiti owners. Last year, the bank joined a syndicate that lent Qtel a further $500 million, and became a ‘lead arranger’ for a Qtel bond issue which raised yet another $1.5 billion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

One key battle was over the entry for Bil’in and whether the weekly struggle at that village near the security fence should be described as violent. Another battle was over the description of the Ariel University Center. Was it ‘the largest public college in Israel?’ Or should an institution in Ariel not be considered as being in Israel? So a compromise was reached: ‘the largest Israeli public college.’ ”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Ariel is an illegal Jewish settlement in the West Bank, but that isn’t the only Israeli topic to be edited on the Internet. Good luck finding a detailed honest account of the Jenin Massacre, including the Israeli refusal to allow UN inspectors to inspect the rubble of that massacre. If you type in “Jenin Massacre”, you’ll find it renamed the “Battle of Jenin” and the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenin_massacre" style="color: #9c0001; text-decoration: none;"&gt;article&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;talks of “rumors” of a mass slaughter of hundreds to thousands of Palestinian civilians. If there were no mass slaughter, why did Israel refuse to allow in UN inspectors?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"&gt;The attack on the USS Liberty is similarly prone toward censorship even though the captain of the ship says that the Israelis deliberately attacked and mass murdered 34 Americans. If you type in “Attack on the USS Liberty”, it morphs into “The USS Liberty Incident” and the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident" style="color: #9c0001; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Wikipedia article&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;starts off by noting that the US Government has (under tremendous Jewish pressure) classified the incident as a mistake. The survivors of the attack on the Liberty would have some choice words to say about that bit of dishonesty.&lt;span id="more-19238"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/the-right-s-latest-weapon-zionist-editing-on-wikipedia-1.308667" style="color: #9c0001; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Ha’aretz&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;goes on: “Now the Yesha Council of settlements and another right-wing group, Israel Sheli, are embarking on a Wikipedia battle: Zionist editing on the Web-based encyclopedia. The first course was held yesterday in Jerusalem. ‘The idea is not to make Wikipedia rightist but for it to include our point of view,’ said Naftali Bennett, the director of the Yesha Council. ‘The Internet is not managed well enough, and Israel’s position there is appalling. Take for example the Turkish flotilla [to Gaza]. During the first hours we were nowhere to be found. In those first hours millions of people typed the words Gaza-bound flotilla and read what was written on Wikipedia.’”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"&gt;In other words, the Internet is something the Jews do not control and the Jews consider this a problem.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"&gt;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/the-right-s-latest-weapon-zionist-editing-on-wikipedia-1.308667" style="color: #9c0001; text-decoration: none;"&gt;article&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;notes “The course was designed to teach how to register for, contribute to and edit for Wikipedia. The organizers’ aim was twofold: to affect Israeli public opinion by having people who share their ideological viewpoint take part in writing and editing for the Hebrew version, and to write in English so Israel’s image can be bolstered abroad. The Yesha Council also announced a prize for the ‘Best Zionist Editor’ – the person who over the next four years incorporates the most Zionist changes in the encyclopedia. That lucky encyclopedist will receive a trip in a hot-air balloon over Israel.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"&gt;This has always been the problem with Wikipedia: it lends itself to ideological distortion and propaganda on the part of the people who control it. They also control who is allowed to make posts and edits, and who are also allowed the even more important power of deleting the work of others.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"&gt;One&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/175115#ixzz0xyl0CKOU" style="color: #9c0001; text-decoration: none;"&gt;source&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;notes “the (Wikipedia) site was hosted on the servers of Bomis, Inc., a company mostly owned by Jimmy Wales, who currently funds part of the site’s operational costs. With the announcement of the Wikimedia Foundation on June 20, 2003, the ownership of all domain names as well as the technical equipment was transferred to the Foundation. The site is run by the community of Wikipedians guided by the principles articulated by Jimmy Wales, including, for example, an adherence to a neutral point of view.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Unfortunately a “neutral” point of view can mean perpetuating propaganda that most people grew up with in regards to things like Diversity, racial equality, Israel and the Holocaust. Also, the current proprietor is going to be susceptible to the extreme pressure tactics that the Jews often use. If there are squeals of “antisemitism” whenever a truthful article, which the Jews don’t like is added to Wikipedia, there’s a good chance factual information will be deleted especially if these Israeli-trained editors work their way up the ladder at Wikipedia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"&gt;On the plus side, we can also work our way up as editors at Wikipedia to counter the organized effort by the Israelis.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
