* Seizure illegal, Gaza blockade "crime against humanity"-UN *
Israel's U.N. envoy rejects charges
By Stephanie Nebehay GENEVA, July 2 (Reuters) -

A U.N. human rights investigator on Thursday called Israel's seizure of a ship carrying relief aid for the Gaza Strip "unlawful" and said its blockade of the territory constituted a "continuing crime against humanity". Israeli authorities on Tuesday intercepted the vessel, which was also carrying 21 pro-Palestinian activists, and said it would not be permitted to enter Gaza coastal waters because of security risks in the area and its existing naval blockade.

Richard Falk, the United Nations special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories, said the move was part of Israel's "cruel blockade of the entire Palestinian population of Gaza" in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention prohibiting any form of collective punishment against "an occupied people". Falk, an American expert on international law, said Israel's two-year blockade of Hamas-ruled Gaza restricted vital supplies such as food, medicine and fuel to "bare subsistence levels".

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said in a report this week that Israel was also halting entry to Gaza of building materials and spare parts needed to repair damage from its 22-day invasion late last December. "Such a pattern of continuing blockade under these conditions amounts to such a serious violation of the Geneva Conventions as to constitute a continuing crime against humanity," Falk said in a statement released in Geneva.

Prior to leaving Cyprus, the ship was inspected by Cypriot authorities in response to Israeli demands to determine whether it carried any weapons, according to the U.N. investigator. "None were found and Israeli authorities were so informed." "Nonetheless, the 21 peace activists on the boat were arrested, held in captivity and have been charged with 'illegal entry' to Israel even though they had no intention of going to Israel," Falk added.

ISRAEL ENVOY SAYS FALK "BIASED"

Israel's ambassador to the U.N. in Geneva, Aharon Leshno-Yaar, rejected the remarks by Falk whom he said was "known for his bias against Israel and anti-Israel statements". Israel is allowing relief aid to reach Gaza in coordination with Egypt and the Palestinian Authority, Leshno-Yaar said. "Clearly the purpose of that ship was to create a buzz and serve as a propaganda vehicle against Israel," he told Reuters.

Activists from the U.S.-based Free Gaza movement said that Irish Nobel peace prize laureate Mairead Maguire and former U.S. congresswoman Cynthia McKinney were among those aboard.

Falk, who is Jewish, has had his own difficulties with Israeli authorities in trying to fulfil his independent mandate for the U.N. Human Rights Council. Last December, he was detained and turned back from Israel, forcing him to abort a planned mission to Gaza -- a deportation denounced by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

In a report last March, Falk said Israel's year-end military assault on the densely population coastal strip of 1.5 million appeared to constitute a grave war crime. Amnesty International said in a report on Thursday that Israel inflicted "wanton destruction" in the Gaza Strip in attacks that often targeted Palestinian civilians [IDnL2307109].

A U.N. inquiry into alleged war crimes by both Israel and Hamas militants in the recent conflict held public hearings in Gaza this week and will also hear testimony in Geneva next week. It is led by former U.N. war crimes prosecutor Richard Goldstone, a South African jurist

The Ballad of Ezra Nawi

2009-07-02T21:46:00.002-04:00

Ezra Nawi, a Jewish Israeli, helped Palestinians set up an outpost adorned with the Palestinian colors (right) to protest an illegal Israeli settlement (Full story here)

“The settlers keep the Palestinian farmers from their land by harassing them, and then after several years they say the land has not been farmed so by law it is no longer theirs,” Mr. Nawi said. “We are only here to stop that from happening.”

Mr. Nawi is now in trouble. Having spent several short stints in jail for his activism over the years, he now faces the prospect of a long one. He is due to be sentenced Wednesday for assaulting an Israeli policeman two years ago during a confrontation over an attempt to demolish Palestinians’ shacks on disputed land on the West Bank. The policeman said Mr. Nawi struck him during that encounter. Mr. Nawi denied it, but in March a judge convicted him.

“I’m here to change reality,” he said. “The only Israelis these people know are settlers and soldiers. Through me they know a different Israeli. And I’ll keep coming until I know that the farmers here can work their fields.”

Conference on Israel is "Anti-Zionist Propaganda"

2009-07-01T12:09:00.004-04:00

By SHERI SHEFA, Staff Reporter
Thursday, 02 July 2009

TORONTO — Last week’s three-day York University-sponsored conference on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was met with three days of protests from concerned members of the Jewish community who feared the event would promote an anti-Israel agenda.

According to UJA Federation of Greater Toronto and Canadian Council for Israel and Jewish Advocacy (CIJA), when the latter organization assigned three people to attend Israel-Palestine: Mapping Models of Statehood and paths to Peace, their fears were confirmed.

“The conference devoted virtually no time to suggestions about an invigorated peace process and concentrated instead on Israel as a military machine determined to dominate the Palestinians,” the organizations said in a joint statement.

“There was no discussion of terrorism or Israel’s security needs and there were no speakers who presented an Israeli centre-left or centre-right perspective. The assumption that Zionism and Israeli society are based on violence and racism predominated.

“At one panel discussion, ‘Zionists’ were blamed as the cause of domestic violence perpetrated by Palestinian men against Palestinian women. At another, some participants questioned the sanity and integrity of an Israeli presenter. Speakers who defended Zionism were often jeered and heckled and virtually all of the publicly available material was anti-Israel.”

B’nai Brith Canada called the conference “a blatant exercise in anti-Zionist propaganda"

Reverend Jeremiah Wright and "Them Jews"

2009-07-01T11:57:00.003-04:00

June 12, 2009 11:26 AM

Rev. Wright: I Meant "Zionists," Not Jews

On Wednesday, we reported on remarks made by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, President Obama's former pastor, where he complained that "them Jews aren't going to let [Obama] talk to me."

Now Wright has addressed those remarks, as ABC News reports. Speaking on satellite radio, Wright said he "misspoke" when he complained that "Jews" were keeping him away from the president. The word he really meant to use, Wright said, is "Zionists."

"I’m not talking about all Jews, all people of the Jewish faith, I’m talking about Zionists," Wright told Mark Thompson, according to ABC. You can listen to portions of the interview here.

Though Zionism originated over a hundred years ago as a movement to establish an independent Jewish state, the term "Zionist" is sometimes now used in a derogatory way in reference to those who strongly support Israel.

Wright criticized Israel in the interview and referenced the book "Judaism Does Not Equal Israel: The Rebirth of the Jewish Prophetic."

"They can jump on that one phrase if they want to, but they can’t, they can’t undo history," Wright said, according to the ABC transcription. "They can’t undo the facts of Jewish historians and Jewish theologians who write about what’s going on, who write about the enormous influence that AIPAC has on our government and on United States policy and the United Nations.”

He added that the "Jewish vote, the AIPAC vote" is controlling the president and "would not let him send representation to the Darfur Review Conference."

"…'cause they’re Zionists, they would not let him talk to someone who calls a spade what it is," Wright said.

Mr. Obama cut off contact with Wright during his presidential campaign in the wake of revelations of several controversial comments by the pastor, among them "God Damn America." Wright said in the interview that he had mistakenly used the word "Jews" instead of "Zionists" because he was "trying to talk rapidly" and get an interviewer to focus on something other than the president.

Wright said in the interview that he decried the Holocaust museum shooting that took place earlier this week. He also called the murder of abortion doctor George Tiller "insane."

"It's a very short ride between fundamentalism and fanaticism," Wright said.

"Christian" Dupes For Israhell

My First Christians United for Israel Event

June 30, 2009 05:40 PM ET

By Dan Gilgoff, God & Country

I attended my first Christians United for Israel event last night.

For those of you who don't know, Christians United for Israel was launched by well-known evangelist John Hagee in 2006 and has quickly become the face of Christian Zionism in the United States.

The organization recently sponsored its 100th Night to Honor Israel event. These affairs are high-spirited, pro-Israel rallies that draw mostly evangelical Christians.

I attended a more sober happening, a kind of informational session called a Stand for Israel Event at the historic First Baptist Church in Hightstown, N.J. Andrew Summey, the organization's regional coordinator, addressed a crowd of about 30 for a little more than an hour. My back-of-envelope observations:

There was a fair amount of guilt expressed over the Christian response to the Holocaust. "Where was the Christian movement during the Holocaust?" Summey asked his audience. "Can we really speak of one here in America? We have a lot to learn, and we have to learn quickly."
About a third of the audience was Jewish. One spectator was a rabbi from a local Reform synagogue who brought his father, a Holocaust survivor. Another was a member of a nearby Conservative Jewish congregation. "Sometimes we feel outnumbered—we're a very small people," he told the crowd when the floor was opened up for questions. "Having friends like you really makes a huge difference."
Some of the case for Christians supporting Israel is one of self-interest. "World War II started as a hatred of Jews but ended in the total destruction of Europe," Summey said in his presentation. "That's a warning to all of us: What makes us think we will escape? The Jews are the canaries in the coal mine."
From an informal survey, the crowd appeared to be highly educated and professionally successful. The church deacon who arranged the event is an attorney recruiter in New York. Another person I spoke with is an engineer at nearby Princeton University.
Though Summey decried the current electoral crisis in Iran, he refrained from criticizing President Obama's response—and only once knocked the president's Israel policy, in response to question from the audience.
Summey told me that Christians United for Israel is about to send a group of 35 American college students on a trip to Poland and Israel to learn about the Holocaust and the Jewish state. The plan is to make this an annual fellowship. This is an organization with a growth plan.

Demented fools think the only way to regain right-wing power is to goad for a terrorist attack on America and its interests. In other words, they want average American casualties to rally for a power coup to reinvigorate the depraved Neocon agenda by way of policymakers Project for the New American Century and Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs.

The only good Neocon/NWO globalist is a dead human scum hung at the gallows for veritable high treason.

Not dissimilar to filthily treasonous former VP Dick Cheney's death wish to prop up a fascist-totalitarian dictatorship ushering in New World Order.

[23 miles off the coast of Gaza, 15:30pm] - Today Israeli Occupation Forces attacked and boarded the Free Gaza Movement boat, the SPIRIT OF HUMANITY, abducting 21 human rights workers from 11 countries, including Noble laureate Mairead Maguire and former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (see below for a complete list of passengers). The passengers and crew are being forcibly dragged toward Israel.

"This is an outrageous violation of international law against us. Our boat was not in israeli waters, and we were on a human rights mission to the Gaza Strip," said Cynthia McKinney, a former U.S. Congresswoman and presidential candidate. "President Obama just told Israel to let in humanitarian and reconstruction supplies, and that's exactly what we tried to do. We're asking the international community to demand our release so we can resume our journey."

According to an International Committee of the Red Cross report released yesterday, the Palestinians living in Gaza are "trapped in despair." Thousands of Gazans whose homes were destroyed earlier during Israel's December/January massacre are still without shelter despite pledges of almost $4.5 billion in aid, because Israel refuses to allow cement and other building material into the Gaza Strip. The report also notes that hospitals are struggling to meet the needs of their patients due to Israel's disruption of medical supplies.

"The aid we were carrying is a symbol of hope for the people of Gaza, hope that the sea route would open for them, and they would be able to transport their own materials to begin to reconstruct the schools, hospitals and thousands of homes destroyed during the onslaught of "Cast Lead". Our mission is a gesture to the people of Gaza that we stand by them and that they are not alone" said fellow passenger Mairead Maguire, winner of a Noble Peace Prize for her work in Northern Ireland.

Just before being kidnapped by Israel, Huwaida Arraf, Free Gaza Movement chairperson and delegation co-coordinator on this voyage, stated that: "No one could possibly believe that our small boat constitutes any sort of threat to Israel. We carry medical and reconstruction supplies, and children's toys. Our passengers include a Nobel peace prize laureate and a former U.S. congressperson. Our boat was searched and received a security clearance by Cypriot Port Authorities before we departed, and at no time did we ever approach Israeli waters."

Arraf continued, "Israel's deliberate and premeditated attack on our unarmed boat is a clear violation of international law and we demand our immediate and unconditional release."

Demonizing Iranian Democracy

2009-06-29T16:48:00.000-04:00

By Dr. Elias Akleh

For the last three weeks the Western media had bombarded us with what they called the Iranian stolen election. They allege that the election was fraudulent and that the masses went into the streets of Tehran protesting the results and demanding new election. The Iranian government is described as fascist and oppressive and is responsible for the chaos in the streets. The opposition is described as reformists and democratic, who are peacefully demonstrating in the streets demanding justice and freedom.

This brings memories of similar previous Western media campaigns about elections in different countries around the world such as 2004 Georgia’s election, 2002 Venezuela’s election, 1992 Mongolias’s election, 1991 Albania’s election, and 1990 Bulgarian election just to name a few, where elections were described as stolen and the winning parties as oppressive of the, usually pro-American, alleged peaceful demonstrators in the streets demanding freedom and justice.

What is worth noting is the fact that none of the entire Western so-called Iran experts, who had strongly claimed that there was an obvious wide scale electoral fraud, had never provided any shred of evidence of such fraud. The lack of any evidence leads one to believe that such fraud accusations are only unsubstantiated accusations based on wishful thinking. They based their evaluation on what they claim the highly unlikely statistical probability that Ahmadinejad would have surpassed his opponents with almost 11 million votes (32%) margin. They denied the possibility of Ahmadinejad’s wide popularity and successful campaigning.

Many had ignored the fact that democratic election is not new in Iran. Iran has a history of three decades of continuous unimpeded elections despite its war with Iraq, the imposed economic embargo, and the attacks of Western-supported terror organizations, such as Mujahideen el-Khalq, Jundullah, and Party for Free Life in Kurdistan, who carried a campaign of assassination of dozens of Iranian lawmakers among many other terror attacks. Iran has established a tradition of peaceful electoral orderliness, where elections are organized, monitored and counted by professionals including university professors, civil servants, and retirees.

None of the last thirty Iranian nationwide elections has been criticized by the West until today for obvious reason. Iran, under Ahmadinejad’s leadership, has developed nuclear industry, strengthened its military forces, and confronted the American forces, who encircled Iran on all four directions as part of the American expansionist ambitions in the Middle East and South East Asia.

Ahmadinejad’s victory came as a surprise to the West especially to the American administration, who expected his defeat. This expectation was based on American covert interventions in the Iranian affairs. It is an undeniable fact that the US has a long history of interference in the Iranian affairs. President Obama admitted to such interference in his Cairo speech in June 4th. Such intervention came in different forms. One mechanism came through what is called National Endowment for Democracy. This is a quasi-governmental agency funded by both the Congress and private organizations, whose main purpose is purportedly spreading freedom and democracy (causing regime change) in other countries by financially supporting foreign organizations sympathetic to the American foreign policy goals. This financial support, in the form of millions of Dollars and equipment, was given to oppositional groups in order to cause chaos and confrontation, especially in election time, to topple down the victorious, usually nationalist, parties, and to erect in their places pro-American governments. Such support was evident in Bulgaria, Albania, Mongolia, Haiti, Venezuela, and in Iran itself.

The National Endowment for Democracy has been active in Iran giving millions of American tax money to anti-governmental Iranian groups such as the Abdorrahman Boroumand Foundation, who supports the National Movement of the Iranian Resistance, and hundreds of thousands of Dollars to the National Iranian American Council. Other money is used to cover the expenses of forming what is called scientific seminars, where Iranian figures are invited to attend, with all expenses paid. Mohammad-Javad Zarif, the Iranian ambassador to the UN, had accused the US of using these scientific seminars as a front cover for political meetings, whose goal was to execute a “velvet revolution” in Iran. Last November Zarif explained that “when the Iranians attend these sessions, they realize they have gathered to discuss measures to topple the Iranian government”.

In 2006 Condoleezza Rice, then the Secretary of State, requested $75 million fund to be spent on mounting the biggest ever propaganda campaign against the Iranian government. The fund was used to pay for radio and television programs broadcasted into Iran, and to provide scholarships

to Iranian students to study in the US. The State Department had also created the Office of Iranian Affairs, with a branch in Dubai, to reach out to Iranian dissidents in their diaspora and to recruit them against the Iranian government. The implicit goal here is to indoctrinate Iranians to effect regime change from within.

With their decision to support terrorist Israel as the dominant nuclear (WMD) country in the Middle East the Western countries concentrated on depriving Iran from any nuclear technologies even a peaceful one. They directed all kinds of pressure, including political, economical and the threat of nuclear bombardment, on the Iranian government to shut down its nuclear facilities. The Iranian government, instead, hastened its nuclear program, bolstered its military, and improved its relationships with many other countries including the Gulf States.

Finally the American administration decided to follow Kermit Roosevelt, Jr.’s Operation Ajax example to effect regime change in Iran. Kermit Roosevelt, Jr. had financed, in 1953, two Iranian thug groups to create chaos in the streets of Tehran and fight each other in order to destabilize Mosaddeq’s government.

ABC News reporters Brian Ross and Richard Esposito reported on May 23rd, 2007 that “The CIA has received secret presidential approval to mount a covert black operation to destabilize the Iranian government, current and former officials in the intelligence community tell ABC News”.

The London Telegraph, also, had reported on May 27th, 2007 that “Mr. Bush has signed an official document endorsing CIA plans for propaganda and disinformation campaign intended to destabilize, and eventually topple the theocratic rule of the mullah”.

In the New Yorker, June 29th, 2008, Symour Hersh reported that “Late last year, Congress agreed to a request from President Bush to fund a major escalation of covert operations against Iran, according to current and former military, intelligence, and congressional sources. These operations, for which the President sought up to four hundred million Dollars, were described in a Presidential Finding signed by Bush, and are designed to destabilize the country’s religious leadership”.

President Obama had denied, though, any American interference into the Iranian election. Yet, without any harsh criticism to the Iranian government, he expressed his admiration of the courage of Iranian people, who took to the streets demanding freedom and justice. Obama’s administration knows very well that it will, eventually, have to deal with Ahmadinejad’s government.

Zionist Republican Senators Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and John McCain of Arizona criticized Obama’s soft approach and demanded tougher actions. Following Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu’s promise, in his foreign policy speech June 4th, to form an international front against Iran, they called for tougher UN sanctions or other measures to put an “end to this tyrannical regime”.

Israel, European countries (specifically British, French, and German), and the US do not really care about those courageous Iranian demonstrators, who have legitimate grievances against their government and aspire for more civil rights yet misguided about how to achieve them. In the eyes of the Western leaders these Iranian demonstrators are “useful idiots”, who need to be sacrificed in order to achieve political gains.

All the Western politicians know very well that the Iranian government, similar to what all the Western countries had done throughout their history, will put an end to the chaos in the streets and maintain order. They also know very well that Iranian policies will not change, at least for now, whether Ahmadinejad, Moussavi, or any other leader forms the government. Similar to all the so-called democratic presidents of the world the Iranian President is a mere executer, rather than a drafter, of these policies.

The real goal of all this propaganda and disinformation war against Iran is to portray Ahmadinejad’s government as an “election stealing illegitimate” government that the free world should not deal or negotiate with as Obama has intended to do.

3rd Generation Holocaust™ Survivors Lining Up for Their Piece of the Pie

2009-06-29T05:24:00.004-04:00

First, a little background. Holocaust™ survivors have already lined their pockets with hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars. But that is chump changed compared to the greatest swindle of all time; the use of Holocaust™ imagery to bamboozle the UN into stealing 55% of Palestine away from the native inhabitants, a figure that has swelled to over 80% of Palestine being stolen by these eastern Europe interlopers who continue to steal more land and water and murder Palestinians like it was some sport.
Holocaust Survivors Still Owed Up to $175 Billion

The study, prepared by international economist Sidney Zabludoff for the Jerusalem-based Jewish Political Studies Review and made available to Reuters Thursday, reveals that hundreds of billions of dollars have still not been paid out.

Restitution efforts have intensified in the years since the end of the Cold War, said Zabludoff, a former White House, Treasury Department and CIA official.
Who is behind this latest extortion that will glean coins out of the pockets of the innocent? The Fisher's of Canada, for one.

According to one Israeli source, the group has expanded in recent years, and now is made up of over 50 American and Canadian super-rich Zionist activists. The dominant figures in the group—the Bronfman brothers, Steinhardt, and Fisher—all have longstanding personal and family organized-crime pedigrees, tracing back to the Meyer Lansky National Crime Syndicate. The Canada-based Bronfman gang, headed by Edgar and Charles' father Sam, and by Max Fisher, got their start as bootleggers during Prohibition. Fisher was a leader of the Detroit-based Purple Gang, which, in collusion with Moe Dalitz's Cleveland-centered "Jewish Navy," smuggled Bronfman's illegal booze across the Great Lakes from Canada into the Midwest. The Bronfman family motto, which applies to most of the Mega Group, is: "From rags, to rackets, to riches, to respectability."

"Show me the money, says 2nd gen survivors"
Sensing that their is still some money to extort from Zionist run governments, 2nd generation holocaust survivors are lining up to go on a looting spree. But we're being told that the money picked from our pockets will only be used for psychological treatment.
Any fool can see once this lawsuit is won against the Germans, it won't be long before hand picked psychiatric institutes start issuing papers bemoaning the amount of pain and suffering the 2nd generation is experiencing and that there is a real need for some type of compensation.

Once that racket succeeds, that will open the door to claims for "psychiatric" help for the 3rd generation survivors from the bank vaults of Germany, Poland, Russia and any other nation they can scam, who are already undergoing "psychiatric" studies to determine how much pain and suffering they have endured as 3rd generation Holocaust™ survivors.

The American Empire Is Bankrupt

2009-06-28T23:56:00.013-04:00

By Chris Hedges
June 14, 2009

This week marks the end of the dollar’s reign as the world’s reserve currency. It marks the start of a terrible period of economic and political decline in the United States. And it signals the last gasp of the American imperium. That’s over. It is not coming back. And what is to come will be very, very painful.

Barack Obama, and the criminal class on Wall Street, aided by a corporate media that continues to peddle fatuous gossip and trash talk as news while we endure the greatest economic crisis in our history, may have fooled us, but the rest of the world knows we are bankrupt. And these nations are damned if they are going to continue to prop up an inflated dollar and sustain the massive federal budget deficits, swollen to over $2 trillion, which fund America’s imperial expansion in Eurasia and our system of casino capitalism. They have us by the throat. They are about to squeeze.

There are meetings being held Monday and Tuesday in Yekaterinburg, Russia, (formerly Sverdlovsk) among Chinese President Hu Jintao, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and other top officials of the six-nation Shanghai Cooperation Organization. The United States, which asked to attend, was denied admittance. Watch what happens there carefully. The gathering is, in the words of economist Michael Hudson, “the most important meeting of the 21st century so far.”

It is the first formal step by our major trading partners to replace the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. If they succeed, the dollar will dramatically plummet in value, the cost of imports, including oil, will skyrocket, interest rates will climb and jobs will hemorrhage at a rate that will make the last few months look like boom times. State and federal services will be reduced or shut down for lack of funds. The United States will begin to resemble the Weimar Republic or Zimbabwe. Obama, endowed by many with the qualities of a savior, will suddenly look pitiful, inept and weak. And the rage that has kindled a handful of shootings and hate crimes in the past few weeks will engulf vast segments of a disenfranchised and bewildered working and middle class. The people of this class will demand vengeance, radical change, order and moral renewal, which an array of proto-fascists, from the Christian right to the goons who disseminate hate talk on Fox News, will assure the country they will impose.

A-G Holder: No Hate Crime Protection for White Christians or Servicemen

2009-06-28T06:03:00.005-04:00

While Google Alert produces scores of items on yesterday’s Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing on the S.909, the Hate Crime Bill, only a few go beyond summarizing Attorney General Eric Holder’s submission to give even a cursory account of what was said in opposition.

Under questioning, Attorney Gen. Holder was surprisingly forthright in admitting that the hate bill is not intended to protect everyone, or even the majority. He said only historically oppressed minorities were to benefit. This means Jews, blacks, homosexuals, women, etc. Holder made it clear that if a white Christian male, including a serviceman or police officer, was the victim of a violent hate crime by any minority he would have to find redress from traditional law. He could not avail himself of the triple penalties and rapid government/justice system response given a protected minority.

And more:

Pro-hate bill testimony was heavily woven with the assertion that the Holocaust Museum shooting is a wakeup call , proving the need to legislate against prevalent and increasingly violent racism.

Most Judiciary Republicans were absent or called away from the hearing by debate over healthcare reform on the Senate floor. Yet Sen. Orrin Hatch, before having to leave, expressed the dominant question of Republicans through the hearing: Can Holder or anyone else give examples of how US states currently fail to enforce the law against hate criminals? Repeatedly, Holder was asked this question and couldn’t answer.

Even the ADL admits that anti-Semitic incidents are on the decline and have been for years. They're so desperate to find anti-Semitic incidents that they classified a peaceful protest near a Jewish film festival and a David Irving speech as "hate crimes."

The ADL's paranoia and hatred of all non-Jews is now poisoning the minds of Department of Homeland Security employees as they are taking part of the ADL's "advanced training school" to keep an eye out for us "Thought Criminals."

Any American who still has a couple of brain cells left can easily see that this ADL sponsored "Hate Crimes" Act will be used by Zionists to supress free speech and incarcerate any who question Israel's homicidal activities or ask simple questions about who's in control of the Federal Reserve or why are there so many Jews in charge of key positions in the WH, Congress, the State Department and the Treasury.

Occupation 101--U.S. Aid to Israel

2009-06-27T06:09:00.001-04:00

A short video putting the amount of financial aid we give to Israel into perspective. Since Israel has not paid back a single penny of these “loans,” the U.S. government has just written this money off as grants. This is not even including all of the military equipment and technology we have given to them (or that they have stolen from us). The U.S. has given them one of the best militaries in the world, all for a total population of only six million Jewish inhabitants. They also have an estimated nuclear arsenal of 300-400 nuclear weapons, thanks to the Jewish spies who have stolen U.S. nuclear intelligence and passed it on to their ethnic kin. An argument could even be made that Jewish espionage was responsible for the start of the Cold War and the rise of a nuclear Soviet Union, due to the Rosenbergs passing U.S. nuclear secrets to the U.S.S.R. through Israel. Ask yourself this, what has Israel ever done to deserve such American gratitude? Can you name one instance that they have come to our aid? The sheer magnitude of our foreign aid to Israel gives credence to the reality of massive Jewish influence in our government.

But, but, but.... What about all that "aid" they gave to the crew of the USS Liberty in the form of rockets, napalm, machine guns and torpedos?

And their role in the false-flag against the USS Cole?

Not to mention those kind and considerate MOSSAD agents in Liberty Park on 9/11, filming the WTC attacks and having a party while doing so.

And all that stock market money that MADOFF to Israel?

What a "friend" we have in Israel.

Russia won't participate in Jewish documents suit

2009-06-26T20:38:00.001-04:00

WASHINGTON -Russia told a U.S. court on Friday that judges have no authority to tell the country how to handle sacred Jewish documents held in its state library that were seized by the Nazi and Soviet armies.

The documents are at the center of a lawsuit brought by members of Chabad-Lubavitch, which follows the teachings of Eastern European rabbis and emphasizes the study of the Torah. The group is suing Russia in U.S. court to recover thousands of manuscripts, prayers, lectures and philosophical discourses by leading rabbis dating back to the 18th century.

The case is being handled by the chief judge of the U.S. District Court in Washington, Royce Lamberth, who in January ordered Russia to preserve the documents over Chabad's fears they are not being properly cared for and could be sold on the black market.

But Russia said in its filing Friday that even though it respects the U.S. court, it would not participate in the litigation to protect its sovereignty. Russia said the United States should use diplomatic channels to address any concerns it has about the collection and that Chabad can pursue claims in Russian courts.

"This court has no authority to enter orders with respect to the property owned by the Russian Federation and in its possession, and the Russian Federation will not consider any such orders to be binding on it," said the Russian filing.

Lamberth agreed to take the case in U.S. court because he said both the Nazi seizure and the Russian government's appropriation of the collection, which Chabad says totals 12,000 books and 50,000 rare documents, violated international law.

The collection was formerly held by Rabbi Joseph Isaac Schneersohn, a leader of Chabad-Lubavitch who was born in Russia but forced by the Soviets to leave in 1927. He took the documents to Latvia and later Poland, but left them behind when the Nazis invaded and he fled to the U.S. The collection was seized and taken to Germany, then recovered by the Soviet Army in 1945.

Attorneys representing Chabad at the law firm Bingham McCutchen said after five years of litigation, Russia "is now acting like a child who has lost the game and wants to start all over on its home court."

"Obviously, Russia cannot justify why it has refused to return Jewish manuscripts which were stolen by the Nazis and then looted by the Soviet Army during the Second World War," the attorneys said in a statement. "The plundering of religious texts during war is contrary to the Hague convention and the norms of any civilized society."

Financial terrorist Federal Reserve, backed by international banking cartel, makes a thinly veiled threat to destroy USA if The Fed is audited

2009-06-26T15:05:00.003-04:00

"Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time, and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out."

Zookissinger Calls For Regime Change in Iran

"Hollywood, we're missing a stereotype here"

2009-06-26T04:44:00.001-04:00

Hollywood seems to have an endless fascination with certain stereotypes, like the ones showing my Italian DNA as some overgrown, flabby pasta eating thugs, always sitting in a restaurant gulping down mountains of spaghetti while discussing how to "whack" someone.

Or the movies showing African-Americans as wearing about 20 pounds of gold and chugging malt liquor while planning on how to take over the crack trade.

The portrayal of Irish-Americans as living in some Northern Ireland blarney stone pub, gulping down vast quantities of Guinness Ale while plotting on how to blow up the British soldiers of occupation is a familiar one.

And the favorite stereotype of Hollywood these days, the bomb-throwing, AK47 packing Muslim "fundie" who worships death and hates life.

So Hollywood, where are the movies/TV shows that depict the money-grubbing Jew banker? There's no shortage of material, from the time JC tossed the money changers out of the Temple, to the "Shylocks" of the Middle Ages to today, where the Federal Reserve is controlled by Jews and giving away trillions of dollars to their buddies on Wall Street, another Jewish enclave.

C'mon, don't be shy! Turn that mirror inward and give us some monster Speilberg flick about money-grubbing Jew bankers. With all the scams, cons and outright thefts going on in the US Treasury Department and Wall Street, there's enough material for a dozen or so flicks.

Some might say this is "anti-Semitic." I disagree. If Hollywood can slander and malign billions of Italians, Irish, Blacks and Muslims, then it should have no problem with making movies spoofing money-grubbing Jew bankers.

Eulogy poem for Michael Jackson August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009

The King of Pop
has passed on
but his memory lives on
in Neverland
where there is happiness
no more pain
as a mortal being whose
childhood was fraught with hardship
he found his calling in music and choreography
that brought joy
to the world
where happiness was found
in his soul when music is achieved
to heavenly profundity
So long, thanks for the memories
soul has departed to the cosmos
May The King of Pop live on in sweet memory of humanity
forevermore.

Kissinger Calls For Attack On Iran If Revolution Fails

2009-06-25T07:45:00.001-04:00

Talking on BBC Newsnight Kissinger says that while the US will not intervene in the current crisis, if the coup fails and a popularly based government is not installed (ie the one he wants), then we may conclude that we must work for regime change in Iran from the outside. This is an indicted war criminal making threats against a sovereign nation.

Nice touch, having a pic of the White House in the background. Are we to imply from that pic that the mass murderer Kissinger's homicidal statement is semi-official WH policy?
Bet Henry the Mass Murderer doesn't use Viagra to raise the dead, but pics of gore, body parts and dead humans does the trick for Henry the Prick.

Idiocracy in America - reinforcement of corrupted values at Louisiana State Legislature permitting filth to proliferate in name of "multiculturalism"

2009-06-25T06:38:00.004-04:00

Louisiana is a pathetic state for allowing this to happen. Where is legislative priority, common sense and responsibility?

Such proliferation of filth in public, let alone in the supposedly serious legislature, demonstrates the decline of Western civilization.

Exactly what Zionist Jews want by promoting the corrupted and bad values to condone & encourage irresponsible, promiscuous, misogynistic, misandric, militant homosexual, criminal and self-destructive behavior in the West.

Every nation the swarm of Zionist Jew locusts invade turn to proverbial shit, and the result is clear.

Zionist Jews know that, revering the sinister wisdom of the Talmud and Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the most effective method of cultural & racial destruction is spreading media propaganda extolling the benefits of integration in unmitigated multiculturalism & open immigration policy to render the native population brainwashed and docile for complete conquest by control, terrorism and theft of public treasure.

This is the product of Zionist Jew mind-f*ck.

NAACP, SPLC & ADL Kosher approved.

Idiocracy mash-up
