CLICK HERE LARGE PRINT EDITION: RED CROSS CONDEMNS IDF MASS MURDER « Culture of Life News 2
The cruelty of the Israeli JEWS is astonishing. Not only do I not detect, outside of a very small, very brave and very good-hearted fringe, any shame or disgust in the greater Jewish community, I see outright joy and happiness, they are killing their enemies and these are Palestinian children! For the Jews have expressed concern about the high birthrate of Palestinian mothers. They can’t claim the Holy Land is empty and they are filling an empty space with Jews, if the Palestinian population is growing much faster than the Jewish population.
Breaking news: Jimmy Carter – An Unnecessary War – washingtonpost.com
Palestinian leaders from Gaza were noncommittal on all issues, claiming that rockets were the only way to respond to their imprisonment and to dramatize their humanitarian plight. The top Hamas leaders in Damascus, however, agreed to consider a cease-fire in Gaza only, provided Israel would not attack Gaza and would permit normal humanitarian supplies to be delivered to Palestinian citizens.
After extended discussions with those from Gaza, these Hamas leaders also agreed to accept any peace agreement that might be negotiated between the Israelis and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who also heads the PLO, provided it was approved by a majority vote of Palestinians in a referendum or by an elected unity government.
Since we were only observers, and not negotiators, we relayed this information to the Egyptians, and they pursued the cease-fire proposal. After about a month, the Egyptians and Hamas informed us that all military action by both sides and all rocket firing would stop on June 19, for a period of six months, and that humanitarian supplies would be restored to the normal level that had existed before Israel’s withdrawal in 2005 (about 700 trucks daily).
We were unable to confirm this in Jerusalem because of Israel’s unwillingness to admit to any negotiations with Hamas, but rocket firing was soon stopped and there was an increase in supplies of food, water, medicine and fuel. Yet the increase was to an average of about 20 percent of normal levels. And this fragile truce was partially broken on Nov. 4, when Israel launched an attack in Gaza to destroy a defensive tunnel being dug by Hamas inside the wall that encloses Gaza.
On another visit to Syria in mid-December, I made an effort for the impending six-month deadline to be extended. It was clear that the preeminent issue was opening the crossings into Gaza. Representatives from the Carter Center visited Jerusalem, met with Israeli officials and asked if this was possible in exchange for a cessation of rocket fire. The Israeli government informally proposed that 15 percent of normal supplies might be possible if Hamas first stopped all rocket fire for 48 hours. This was unacceptable to Hamas, and hostilities erupted.
At last, a major publication finally let President Carter write an editorial! And lo and behold! He was deep in negotiations between Hamas and Israel during this last year. But shouldn’t our major media be interviewing him? Shouldn’t they be discussing his negotiations and asking him questions about how to proceed further? Shouldn’t President Obama ask him to be our envoy to the Middle East? Tony Blair claims to be doing this and he is doing one of the most wretched jobs on earth. He simply isn’t even going there or doing anything at all!
So it turns out that the ‘ceasefire’ was cooked up by Carter. Not by Abbas. And we must honor Carter’s involvement and his obvious humanity continues to shine in the murk. And the Israeli counteroffer to let 15% of needed humanitarian aid reveals to us, they are the ones who pushed this war into blowing up in our faces. They said earlier, they wanted to ‘Put the Palestinian people on a diet’.
All ethnic cleansing schemes depend on two things: chasing out the natives or killing them. Unlike imperial pushes to integrate many different people into society, ethnic cleansing is the opposite: it forcibly removes whole populations in order to control a region. This is why all ethnic wars are so disgusting. When Pakistan and India were made into two countries, just for example, the basis for both were ethnic and religious.
Pakistan was for Muslims and India, for Hindi. The partition sparked huge, huge, uncontrolled ethnic riots that killed over a million people. The tensions from this continue today and both countries are constantly on the verge of violent wars over regions that are of mixed ethnic groups. Kashmir, just for example. Instead of seeing ethnic and religious parties withering away, they are growing more and more powerful and the lust to clean out pesky minorities is continuing and worsening. Instead of a separation of Church and State sort of liberalism, both are increasingly religious-identity communities that are filled with hatred and which oppress minorities.
For example, Christians are persecuted in India. The government doesn’t do this directly, it simply stands back and lets Hindu radicals torment Christians. Recently, churches for the Untouchables were burned down. The Hindu radicals want to reduce Untouchables back to their original status before the state of India was founded in the same year the European Jews began wholesale ethnic cleansing in Palestine.
But the crimes of the Jewish community are much graver than the crimes in India. Why is this?
Very simple: US legal history is filled with stellar examples of fine Jewish lawyers and judges, all of whom supported full civil rights for all ethnic and religious minorities in America! They were instrumental in making the United States a more integrated, tolerant community. They insured the barrier between Church and State would be strong. They were liberals. And great liberal forces! We can’t thank them enough.
But this has all been cast aside. The finest of Jewish legal minds like the odious monster, Dershowitz, are now renown for persecuting anyone who seeks to tell the truth about Israel’s Holocaust industry and abuse of actual Holocaust survivors, for example. Dershowitz, along with the Troskyite neo con, Horowitz, has been working hard to prevent the dispassionate teaching of Middle Eastern and Jewish history. Radical right wing assaults on our freedom of speech are coming not from Aryan Nazis in America. They are coming from Zionist Jews. Instead of being a force of good, a force of liberalism and equality as we saw before 1967, the vast bulk of Jewish writers, lawyers and think tankers are neo con war mongers seeking to ethnically cleanse the lands the Jews conquered in 1967.
This has utterly changed the face of US law and US diplomacy. We are increasingly and correctly viewed as an ethnic cleansing machine of tremendous cruelty. Wherever we go, we are now surrounded by suspicious people seeking to undermine our nation and kill us off. Even when smiling, like the Saudis who are pulling us deeper and deeper into debt to them, they all hold swords behind their backs, watching us closely, waiting to run us through.
Instead of being the beacon of hope and a free nation, we are increasingly a police state which treats US citizens increasingly with contempt and sometimes, violent cruelty. Our prison population is growing, not shrinking and religious and ethnic tensions are growing, not fading away. I have said repeatedly, if the Jews embrace fascism, America will turn fascist and the fascist religious majority will then turn on the Jews and persecute them here, in America. This is why the Jewish community should be scared to death, watching Israel. Instead of egging this on and cheering it on and enabling and paying for this hideousness, they should be loudly demanding Israel stop, now!
The silence is obvious. Our new President is terrified of irritating the Jewish community, so he says and does nothing. Bush is perhaps happily pushing them onwards for he expects them to be destroyed. His family supported Hitler in the past, after all. They are not liberals, they believe in ethnic cleansing. The five living Presidents had a lunch together. The picture tells us about the tensions between them and how Jimmy Carter, the only one who is against ethnic cleansing, thinks about his fellow Presidents.
Presidents Past, Present and Future – The Caucus Blog – NYTimes.com
Mr. Obama called the meeting an “extraordinary gathering” and thanked President Bush for hosting the group.
“All the gentlemen here understand both the pressures and possibilities [HAHAHA} of this office, and for me to have the opportunity to get advice, good counsel and fellowship with these individuals is extraordinary and I’m very grateful to all of them. But again thank you, Mr. President, for hosting.”
Obama is a very friendly guy. But note his expression here. The grim lines. The Democratic Zionists are already pushing back, hard. His choice for CIA head caused a mini-riot in the DNC Zionist enclaves. They want one of their own in that position. They remember Eisenhower and his CIA group. This group didn't want Israel to run riot. When Israel joined France and England in attacking Egypt, he stopped them. The nightmare of the Zionists is for the CIA to be run by non-rightwing neocons. Obama didn't consult with the Zionists in the Democratic House or Senate because he wanted to have someone beholden to him, not Israel, advising him about foreign affairs.
The Zionists in Congress are already up in arms because he won't endorse ethnic cleansing outright. His silence is infuriating them even more than it upsets those of us who are against the butchering of women and children. Look at Jimmy Carter here! He saved America from the stagflation mess. He stood up to Russia in a real way which hurt US farmers who were making money in Russia. But he revealed the gulf between stupid talk about fighting communism and really fighting communism.
The right wing hates him for this to this day. He curbed the CIA. He stopped inflation in its tracks. He set the stage for future growth. He tried his best to make America energy efficient, something that was stupidly cast aside by Reagan and all the guys you see in the above photo. He obviously distanced himself from the others. The body language is the sort a man uses when he feels uncomfortable around a bunch of con men. The other four are crowded together, trying to pull Obama into their orbits. And finally, look at Bill Clinton's smirk.
I am certain he feels his wife will run Obama's White House. When Obama took in, as his top gun, a Zionist, the US ethnic cleansing team had a sigh of relief. They will still control the entire nation and set our course towards using US tax IOUs from China to kill Palestinian women and children. As well as keep all other Muslims weak, divided and filled with hate and despair. Then, the US will rule the planet via the sword like ancient Rome.
Gaza Children Found With Mothers’ Corpses - NYTimes.com
The International Committee of the Red Cross said Thursday it had discovered “shocking” scenes — including small children next to their mothers’ corpses — when its representatives gained access for the first time to parts of Gaza battered by Israeli shelling. It accused Israel of failing to meet obligations to care for the wounded in areas of combat.
In response, the Israeli military did not comment directly on the allegation. In a statement, it accused Hamas, its foe in Gaza, of deliberately using “Palestinian civilians as human shields” and said the Israeli Army “works in close cooperation with international aid organizations during the fighting so that civilians can be provided with assistance.”
The statement quoted Pierre Wettach, an International Red Cross representative for Israel and the Palestinian areas, as calling the incident “shocking.“The Israeli military must have been aware of the situation but did not assist the wounded. Neither did they make it possible for us or the Palestine Red Crescent to assist the wounded,” he was quoted as saying.
The statement said the international Red Cross “believes that in this instance the Israeli military failed to meet its obligation under international humanitarian law to care for and evacuate the wounded. It considers the delay in allowing rescue services access unacceptable.”
The soldiers just stood there and watched obvious civilians die slowly. They didn't care one whit about saving them. This is a war crime, incidentally. The sense of superiority encouraged by Zionist ideology turns the young Jewish men into Nazis. This cannot be emphasized enough! Only someone trained in ethnic identity politics can stand idle while people die. The Red Cross had to raise quite a row in order to simply come in. Reporters went to court and won in Israel and still were locked out.
The rule of law has collapsed in Jewish Israeli communities long ago. Masked Jews terrorize Palestinian shepherds. Palestinian farmers. Palestinian children trying to walk to school. The Jews spit on West Bank Muslims and mock them. The fury in the hearts of the Muslims in the West Bank burns even brighter than the fury in Gaza. This lack of control on the part of the apartheid Jewish state has turned Jews there into Nazi clones. And so humanism dies. The great liberalizing work of generations of Jews in the West dies, too.
Gaza War Role Is Political Lift for Ex-Premier
No one is talking like that now. Twelve days into a punishing war that he is leading against Hamas in Gaza, Labor’s poll numbers are spiking. Mr. Barak is everywhere, in sunglasses and leather jacket, striding among his military commanders, talking strategy, calculating the next move.
“The respect I get when I go into schools since the war is amazing, and it is all about Barak,” remarked Daniel Ben-Simon, a Labor Party candidate for Parliament. “Israel’s MacArthur is back.”
I get pleas from readers to cease talking about Israel's Jewish community and how it is destroying our nation. They want economic news that is 'neutral' and thus, divorced from the whole picture. As if it can! This is, of course, impossible. Many Jews are increasingly fearful as obviously Jewish names are appearing increasingly in the news, attached to financial and banking scandals. Not that they are the only ones involved! The head of Countrywide, for example, is Catholic! There are many, many other religious and ethnic peoples involved in the scams and outrages and I have gone out of my way to repeatedly point this out.
The belief that only Jews run the banking system is stupid, to put it mildly. The first international bank was run by ancestors of mine who were Italian Catholics, just for example! Con artists come in every possible religious background and ethnic blood. No group on earth is immune. All do it when they can! The main advantage the Jewish community has vis a vis others is, they were forced, by evolution, to survive by their wits. So the best way to live in ghettos was to be smart. Stupid people died. The Palestinians are under the same evolutionary forces and will eventually outsmart the Jewish community, I guess.
Another thing: we are forbidden to talk about genetics and evolution when it comes to Jews because they are scared of their own ethnic cleansing so they want us to pretend there is nothing going on. The Nazis used science and warped it to justify ethnic cleansing, claiming superiority over other people. Smarter, faster, better. The Olympics were the platform for proving Aryan perfection. The US used the Olympics for proving the perfection of capitalism.
White racists believe that European whites are superior to Africans. They can't make this claim about athletes. It is obvious to any observers that slavery certainly had an impact on African genetics. The slavery and Jim Crow years slammed the door on intellectual blacks so they did not thrive. But all blacks had to do hard physical labor and live in harsh conditions. This made them physically robust. Evolution is always at work in funny ways. By denying medical care to black mothers, weaker babies died. Only the strong would live. And so the black community evolved towards strength, not weakness.
Racists who are white can't stand this. Just as Civil Rights opened the doors of opportunity to black people so intelligent ones now flourish and do well, the cruel method of letting black babies die is fading and even black babies are now given some medical attention. In Gaza, this is very similar. Cruel Jewish policies are making the Palestinian population increasingly stronger, physically. Only the hardiest will endure.
I try to not be a racist. I believe that all people should freely intermix and if we understand anything about genetics at all, it is that the more mixed the population, the better it is. The Jewish population is very inbred and only in the last 100 years, has it married outwards. Many odd genetic diseases plague the Jewish genetic population just like Iceland, during the centuries of increasing isolation, saw an increase in genetic diseases. Mountain populations tend towards this, too. As well as other islands. Diversity is strong, isolation is weak. This is why the US became stronger and stronger. We were increasingly diverse. The first 600 families [I come from that group] had increasing problems. By letting in a flood of immigrants, we saved ourselves.
In the slave states, the white owners had sex with their female African slaves and that created racial diversity, too. And this diversity continues today as all the cruel Jim Crow laws and customs collapse. Thank goodness for that. Our President is of ‘mixed race’ and this is a very good thing and is the only reason I supported his candidacy: to break down that racial barriers and to rejoice in ethnic cross over marriages! I am 100% for this and my family practices it. We now enjoy having family members of several different races within my family tree and I am ecstatic about this.
Oakland Turns Violent Over Shooting – NYTimes.com
Protesters angry over a deadly New Year’s Day shooting of a young black man by a transit police officer erupted into violence in downtown Oakland on Wednesday night while investigators struggled to determine what prompted the officer to fire his gun into the unarmed man’s back.
After an afternoon of peaceful demonstrations and a memorial service, protests turned chaotic after dark as a small clutch of protesters set trash cans and cars afire and busted windows on police cruisers and storefronts. Police in riot gear responded with tear gas and billy clubs and at least 14 arrests were made, according to local television reports. Several major downtown streets were closed, and helicopter footage showed small groups of protesters roaming through the city’s deserted center. There were no immediate reports of injuries, but sirens continued to echo into the late evening.
There are now riots in Oakland and I understand the rage. I saw the several videos people made of this crime. The behavior of the whites who run the BART police is astonishing and just as bad as the Israeli Jewish politicians who are happy that killing Palestinian women and children make them popular in Israel’s Jewish enclaves.
When the astonishing news came out, it was mostly disseminated on the internet by bloggers like myself. Only after three days of increasing anger, did it make CNN and the NYT. The lack of even questioning the cop involved was given various excuses: it was a holiday, his out-of-wedlock child was born and he had to be with his baby. Then, he refused to talk to them. So they let him run around, loose, they didn’t arrest the killer.
The lack of interest in chasing down this criminal infuriated blacks who want equal civil rights. Watching the news videos, it is horrible to see the cops confusion at first and then, instead of attending to the victim, they handcuff him and then DRAG HIM AROUND VIOLENTLY as if he were a dog on a leash! They didn’t kick him viciously but they treated him like the IDF treats dying Palestinian women and children: they let him lie there and bleed to death. True, they finally called an ambulance. But they showed no mercy or even curiosity as to the man’s condition.
All of them should be arrested. This is the definition of ‘DEPRAVED indifference’. Now, with youths rioting, the white power structure and racists will all say, ‘Look at those animals! They deserve to die!’ Not, ‘Look at this justified rage! We better stop being so nasty to them.’
And this, in a nutshell, is why our support of the Jews in Palestine are killing Americans. We cannot support ethnic identity politics. Just like when the governor of Illinois picked a black man for the Senate: the white Senators in the Democratic Party locked him out. There are NO black Senators AT ALL. And I pray that Patterson in NY appoints a black Senator, too! Anyway, the Black Caucus was silent about all this because Obama asked them to wait. But finally, he had t stand up to the people running his own party and order them to let the black Senator take his seat. About time, too.
And the irritation towards Obama grows as the 99% white Senate grinds its collective fangs. Obama is afraid he may end of like Jimmy Carter. Notice how our former President is not allowed any platforms in public so he can talk about the Middle East! No editorials, no rallies, no nothing. He, like me, is now locked on the outside by the media owners. His message, distorted. His great deeds, minimized and mocked. And he isn’t getting filthy rich from bribes, either! Ouch! If we want to save America, we desperately need more Jimmy Carters, not more Bill Clintons! Instead, the DNC wants more of the Clintons, not Carter. And that is a terrible shame.

Nature is a great leveler-balancer, and every action creates some sort of reaction, and often those reactions are not apparent while the violent are oppressing others, but the reaction will come back in some form or other…
Also called hubris and nemesis. Hubris, such as supporting ethnic cleansing, brings about our nemesis in the form of hatred from the surrounding world…and deep hatreds lead to conflict.

Elaine…love you view of Jimmy Carter. IMHO the only president in my lifetime with a modicum of morality. Carter’s actions after his presidency speaks volumes. Especially when compared to rest of the lot after their terms. He wasn’t even allowed to speak at the Democratic convention. That says a lot about the Democraticic party. Both major political party’s are run by moral Pygmies and blatant opportunists.
January 8, 2009 at 4:37 pm
Assuming a thousand Gaza residents have perished so far, which is a thousand too many, I really don’t see ethnic cleansing at work. At this rate, ethnic cleansing is going to take a long time.
January 8, 2009 at 4:50 pm
David Craig, the only reason the Jews haven’t killed off all the Palestinians is very simple: they dare not do this. So far, their moves have been to pen them into ghettos. There, they hope the Palestinians will either die or get weaker and weaker as they get smaller in size and have less and less muscles while the Jews on the outside get physically bigger and stronger.
.
They also hope to make things so nasty, someone will take in the oppressed people and give the Jews all of the Holy Land as a Jews-only monolithic state. Then, the Jews can be Supermen while the Palestinians are Untermenschen.
.
This is pure Naziism.
January 8, 2009 at 5:09 pm
Bravo Elaine, Bravo. This is one of your best news pieces ever. Jimmy Carter is a CHAMPION of Liberty and Freedom. You are 100% right about his policies. The answer to the Palestinian issue is simple. Palestinians need to embrace the teachings of Jesus. “turn the other cheek” “love thy enemy” “love thy neighbor”. If they embrace this. There wont be a zionist police,ethnic cleansing, nazi goon state. The arabs and jews are very similar. In time, they will inter-marry. Love will overcome hate. In 30 years time jews wont exist in Israel. This is the reason they kill the Palestinian children, and ethnically cleanse them. The ultra-right wing zionits know that ultimatly the jews days are numbered. Due to their numbers. Palestinians outnumber them, and if there was a lasting peace, the Jews days would be over.
January 8, 2009 at 5:30 pm
I’m just trying to follow the DNA here: Aren’t the Israelis transplants from Europe, descended from converts to Judaism? And the Palestinians the historical semitic residents, possibly descended from the original Jews? But if you criticize the Israelis you’re anti-semitic? Damn, it hurts when my head spins like that.
:
In Catholic school we heard the story of the Holy Innocents. When Herod, the Roman Empire puppet, was told the new King of the Jews had been born, he had all the children under two killed to eliminate his successor. Joseph was warned and took Mary and Jesus to Egypt. Ironic that the war on Gaza is happening right after Christmas, no?
:
Heh.
January 8, 2009 at 5:35 pm
The Israeli Mossad (their CIA) created Hamas in 1987, with the frontmen Sheikh Ahmed Ismail Yassin and Abdel Aziz al-Rantissi, because, as Zeev Sternell, historian at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, says: “Israel thought that it was a smart ploy to push the Islamists against the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO).”
Well ain’t that something? So, the Mossad starts Hamas, with the original “intention” of being a charitable organization to the Palestinian people. And charity they did. Slowly, of course, it turned into a political and military organization, which was the true original intention. It challenged Fatah and the PLO as it does to this day. Divide and conquer: the oldest military tactic in the book…
January 8, 2009 at 5:38 pm
Ralph is right. It isn’t even necessarily a moral issue so much as a practical issue. It is because, that’s what works.
=
My local newspaper reported that the Hamas leader proclaimed that Israel’s disregard for children was justification for Muslims to wage war on Jews in the same fashion. Without getting into a philosophical matter, if that is true is it just plain dumb.

[quote]How Israel brought Gaza to the brink of humanitarian catastrophe
.
Oxford professor of international relations Avi Shlaim served in the Israeli army and has never questioned the state’s legitimacy. But its merciless assault on Gaza has led him to devastating conclusions
.
The only way to make sense of Israel’s senseless war in Gaza is through understanding the historical context. Establishing the state of Israel in May 1948 involved a monumental injustice to the Palestinians. British officials bitterly resented American partisanship on behalf of the infant state. On 2 June 1948, Sir John Troutbeck wrote to the foreign secretary, Ernest Bevin, that the Americans were responsible for the creation of a gangster state headed by “an utterly unscrupulous set of leaders”. I used to think that this judgment was too harsh but Israel’s vicious assault on the people of Gaza, and the Bush administration’s complicity in this assault, have reopened the question.
.
Israel likes to portray itself as an island of democracy in a sea of authoritarianism. Yet Israel has never in its entire history done anything to promote democracy on the Arab side and has done a great deal to undermine it. Israel has a long history of secret collaboration with reactionary Arab regimes to suppress Palestinian nationalism. Despite all the handicaps, the Palestinian people succeeded in building the only genuine democracy in the Arab world with the possible exception of Lebanon. In January 2006, free and fair elections for the Legislative Council of the Palestinian Authority brought to power a Hamas-led government. Israel, however, refused to recognise the democratically elected government, claiming that Hamas is purely and simply a terrorist organisation.
.
As so often in the tragic history of Palestine, the victims were blamed for their own misfortunes. Israel’s propaganda machine persistently purveyed the notion that the Palestinians are terrorists, that they reject coexistence with the Jewish state, that their nationalism is little more than antisemitism, that Hamas is just a bunch of religious fanatics and that Islam is incompatible with democracy. But the simple truth is that the Palestinian people are a normal people with normal aspirations. They are no better but they are no worse than any other national group. What they aspire to, above all, is a piece of land to call their own on which to live in freedom and dignity.
.
The brutality of Israel’s soldiers is fully matched by the mendacity of its spokesmen. Eight months before launching the current war on Gaza, Israel established a National Information Directorate. The core messages of this directorate to the media are that Hamas broke the ceasefire agreements; that Israel’s objective is the defence of its population; and that Israel’s forces are taking the utmost care not to hurt innocent civilians. Israel’s spin doctors have been remarkably successful in getting this message across. But, in essence, their propaganda is a pack of lies.
.
This brief review of Israel’s record over the past four decades makes it difficult to resist the conclusion that it has become a rogue state with “an utterly unscrupulous set of leaders”. A rogue state habitually violates international law, possesses weapons of mass destruction and practises terrorism – the use of violence against civilians for political purposes. Israel fulfils all of these three criteria; the cap fits and it must wear it. Israel’s real aim is not peaceful coexistence with its Palestinian neighbours but military domination. It keeps compounding the mistakes of the past with new and more disastrous ones. Politicians, like everyone else, are of course free to repeat the lies and mistakes of the past. But it is not mandatory to do so.

Sorry, off-topic, but back on MadeOff (still alive and in US!!):
~
Was trying to find an original, credible source for the alleged transfer of $100 Bn by Uncle Bernie to Israel (none found, so far), also info on exactly where some of those packages had gone (same place?). However, came across this, which cheered me up no end:
“Hundreds of Israelis who invested their money in the funds managed by Bernard Madoff and won’t have nice returns to look forward to anymore, may soon be required to report to the Israel Tax Authority on where they got their money from.”
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1048082.html
It’s dated December 12, so maybe you’ve all seen it.
“Even if the investors get back only a small part of their money from Madoff, the original sums and all profits still are taxable income, said attorney Jack Balanga.”
The Israeli Tax Authority has a problem, however,
“However, since the shock that hit the ITA after the exposure of the serious corruption charges at top levels, the ITA no longer has a representative in the U.S. who can be in constant contact with the authorities in New York, and investigate the Israeli connections.
The previous representative in the U.S., Yigal Sa’ar, was returned home when the police investigations became public knowledge, after his appointment was suspected to be one of the “payoffs.” In any case, Sa’ar would probably have had a hard time in dealing with the case, as he was appointed without a proper command of English.”
Oh, BTW:
‘”In many cases it is a criminal offense punishable by up to 10 years in prison. It is reasonable to assume that the wealthy will ask for a process of willing disclosure,” he added.’
Bummer, huh?

DrKrbyLuv:
Thanks for the Guardian link. A well-balanced assessment, IMO. The 1967 borders, however, seem a very distant memory now. Whatever counts as “rational behaviour” over there these days is no longer something that I can recognise. Odd, since so many chess grand masters are Jewish:
http://www.jinfo.org/Chess_Warriors_List.html
(Interesting, to me, are the notes qualifying their relative Jewishness. Such obsessiveness in others would be considered to be bordering on madness. Unfortunately, it seems to be rubbing off on me.)
Maybe the apparent stupidity is just brilliant strategy beyond our understanding.

The 12 banks of the FHLBank System are owned by over 8,100 regulated financial institutions from all 50 states
.
The FHLBs, government-chartered cooperatives owned by U.S. financial companies, hold about $76.2 billion of “private- label” mortgage securities that may cause losses under accounting rules, the New York-based ratings firm said in a statement today. Moody’s said it is unlikely to lower the system’s Aaa debt ratings because of their government support.
.
Like Fan and Fred they have always benefited from an implicit government guarantee
.
It’s all a scam designed to provide low cost funding to favored borrowers

I know its obvious but… do the ‘bankers’ realize that they can do everything they want and still be wrong about everything… and that if this is a possible outcome do they realize that this complicates matters greatly as were not ‘working our way out’ just ‘bailing our way out’ creating a bunch of ‘economic whiners’ on the way to the future.

Ah, the old “Jews are better at chess” meme.
=
Actually, that list is so dated. A look at the top players today shows a much smaller percentage of Jews.
=
The list you linked is representative of the period of state sponsored Soviet chess domination when career opportunities for Jewish Soviets were quite limited.
=
Of course, the board doesn’t lie. One can not say, “That’s not checkmate, my opponent is Jewish”.

Think the Bush/Cheney junta started American torture policy? Here is Bobby Fischer’s account of being tortured in a Pasadena jail, in 1981:

The American government bent over backwards to ruin and discredit Fischer after he “went crazy” and quit international chess.
=
Fischer was going to walk out on the famous match with Spassky before he got a call from Henry Kissinger, who is still wanted for war crimes now IIRC. I am curious as to what, exactly, was discussed.
=
Fischer may have been crazy, but I am not sure he was completely crazy when he claimed the CIA was involved in his affairs in a covert way.

It would be interesting to hear the real history of the Middle East
Apparently there is a piece on King Herod, a real charismatic figure it seems, he controlled a region that surpassed the Kingdom of David, only to be brought down by Caesar
National Geographics I think

The US tortured blacks and communists in the past. As well as uppity women in the suffragette movement. They went on a hunger strike for the vote and were brutally force fed with tubes rammed down their throats…a technique being used this last 5 years at Gitmo.

I saw that Herod show – if it was factual he was one truly amazing individual. One massive ego but what he achieved on a civil engineering scale was unbelievable.

Thanks for the helpful link
Its just fascinating although this is Herod the elder I guess, not the biblical one.
There seem to be hundreds of ethnic groups listed in that book and link to present groups are tenuous at best.
Maybe the Palestines are the original inhabitants?

“The cruelty of Israeli Jews is astonishing.”
.
Jews were expelled from England in 1292 for practicing ritual infanticide. They still practice ritual infanticide to this day — including here in the USA. Many a gentile child has met this ritual fate.
.
When the Jews ran the Russian Secret Police during the Communist Revolution, 25% of St. Petersburg was wiped out. Almost all professionals in religion, media, government, medicine, law, and universities vanished. Churches were destroyed, but not one synagogue was touched.
.
Jews devised and implemented the Morganthau Plan to kill a million German POWs by starvation and exposure after WWII: Ike infamous “Death Camps”
.
Jews controlled the slave trade here in the USA.
.
Cruelty is a tribal thing. DNA responds to the teaching of it.
.
I know of no whites who rejoiced over the shooting of the black man in Oakland. Whites, Blacks, Latins, and most Americans want the Constitution enforced equally in letter and spirit.
.
I for one am not astonished by cruelty of Israeli Jews upon Palestinians. The preview of this cruelty should be a lesson to us all.

Yes, when all of these guys get together something incredibly bad is coming. I posted an article the other day that explained how fractional reserve banking was going to be used as a nuclear deterrent. Right now the S&P 500 is trading accordingly with Gold. Leveraged Gold to Dollar ratio indicates the DOW is undersold trading below 10,000. ‘The City ‘ safe haven is Russia and China (where their gold is). The Fed has been busy printing up the money for this leverage (the fractional reserve). The Communists will then dump their Gold onto the market ala US Grant at the start of the Long Depression. Gold and Silver will then become essentialy ‘worthless’. But what of cash? It will probably become worthless as well, soaking in devaluation(Is a new currency coming? Amero?). That is why there is great turbulence for Senate seats right now. These Senators represent ‘monied interests’ in their home states and want to sell their metal to the US Government before the Communists(International Banking)do! I am not an economist but an avid reader of history. When countries go bankrupt it is catastrophic. The Israeli war is GROWING. This bodes ill for the US. With the ‘natural disasters’ growing in the west, I would leave that area, its just too dangerous. As I have said before, it is not an Ezekiel warning anymore, but rather a watch! So Wake Up! These people in their lust for greed are marching to their own demise! Dont be a casualty of their foolishness! Countries attack out of weakness! It is a last resort!

Is Obama Jewish? does anyone know?
Does the lineage pass through the mother in Jewish culture?
January 9, 2009 at 2:01 am
Plovering, that is TOTALLY INSANE. And whenever rulers in need of loot wanted an excuse to attack the nearly totally helpless Jewish communities, they accused them of the STUPIDEST crimes.
.
This is very common and we see it today in Israel: the Palestinians who have killed very few Jewish children, are accused of killing lots of Jewish children even as Jews butcher many Palestinian children.
.
Indeed, the business of killing babies is planted squarely on the Gypsies, too. Gypsies have little to no money so they are simply persecuted.
.
The need of racists to have these sorts of ugly stories is to give them an excuse to commit ethnic cleansing. The English, for example, are very guilty of this, not only against Jews but also Irish, just for example.

Dutch said “The Communists will then dump their Gold onto the market ala US Grant at the start of the Long Depression. Gold and Silver will then become essentialy ‘worthless’.”
:
I don’t get it. Why would they dump gold, why would it become worthless, and what does US Grant have to do with it? Also, hasn’t the long depression already begun?

its a long read, but a good one, and here

My theory is that bankers always want leverage. In a fractional reserve of 10 to 1. That is…. gold to dollar. Lets say Joe Schmoe hauls his gold into the bank and recieves a loan. That loan would be leveraged on cash. There you have gold as collateral recieving in the form of a loan, 10,000 Dollars!!! With gold backwardation in the market it represents DEMAND. The Madoff scandal is just that. I dont believe for one minute that TARP is a bailout per say, but rather RECAPITALISATION. Why else would so much money and such bitter fights for political office and such tremendously looooooong elections. That is why I believe banks are HOARDING MONEY (cash). And they are buying ONE thing GOLD. Because it is money! After reading this blog I am sure of it. This market is for Elitists and their secret services only. Like a fairy tale. In a cave sits a dragon, and that dragon sits on a pile of gold. That dragons name is USURY. And he is one tuff sonofabitch. No man can kill him! HAHHAHA The sad part of this is that with a ‘floating currency’ as I learned from Elaine. Or even with a fractional reserve, it enables governments to wage war! If our leaders didnt have something terrible in the works, they would have followed Robert McHughs Plan.
January 9, 2009 at 6:03 am
Bush raised the debt ceiling to 11 Trillion. Fractional Reserve banking is a 10 for 11 scam. The bank loans out what, 10 dollars for every 1 dollar in deposit. But it could be more, say 11 or 12. In essence, we are completey broke, with a crooked gov. and crooked banks! The law is not being enforced and there is a reason for this.

One more thing, after this gold comes in, I think interest rates will shoot, probably 10%. But before this comes to pass there has to be a bankruptcy.
