Zionism going through death throes

 

By Gordon Duff

Zionism is dead. As it goes thru its death throes, much is revealed of its nature.

President Obama is preparing for his upcoming trip to Israel. He represents the most powerful military force in the history of the world. He also represents a nation, bankrupt, “flat broke – busted,” a nation sick of war and a nation of skeptics.

 

The mainstream news will report that America is ready and willing to shed its last drop of blood to “defend Israel,” and that America stands ready to launch “shock and awe” attacks at any moment on Iran, despite continuing fruitful diplomatic negotiations.

Israel no longer has the love and trust of the American people, including and especially American Jews. The Netanyahu government no longer has the “love and trust” of the Israeli people, as the recent election has shown.

Thus, anyone seeking a shred of reality from the “pop culture media” or the “psyops” ridden “blogosphere” will have to develop their “between the lines” reading skills.

THE GAME IS ALREADY ON

A little over a week ago, the Times of Israel, the Jerusalem Post and the Israel National News all described the meets between Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak and the new American Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel as “warm” and “productive.”

The American media, prior to the meetings, had planted false stories about the close friendship between Barak and Hagel. The truth is, Hagel and Barak are and have been anyone but friends.
A top US defense official who worked closely with Barak said this of him:

“Gordy, he is one of the dumbest SOB’s I have ever met. Barak so ‘anti-charismatic’ that his own dog wouldn’t follow him even if he hung a pork chop around his neck.”

Not only were stories about the warm and lasting friendship between Hagel and Barak a wild fabrication, the results of their meetings were as well.

Both the American and Israeli papers, all owned by the same clique, mischaracterized a “defense” related “chat” as though it were a policy discussion involving foreign ministers or heads of state.
Israel saw the meeting thusly:

“America agreed to invade Iran even if it means every last drop of blood for every ‘goyim’ American.”

Secretary Hagel saw the same meeting thusly:

“Why is this idiot in my office?”

NETANYAHU’S LOST ELECTION

A week ago, the Israeli press reported an article from the obscure “World Tribune” describing upcoming American cutbacks and demands by President Obama that Israel abandon the occupied territories in accordance with United Nations resolutions.

Now, when we look at this interval, we see Netanyahu staging a threat in order to garner support from extremist parties who, out of desperation, will help extend his rule through a marriage, not just between different species but different phylum as well.

Thus we finally glimpse the monstrosity that weeks of “negotiation” have assembled, a truly “Frankensteinian regime.”

Today, Netanyahu finally put together his coalition government, weeks late, more than unstable and largely dominated by “settler” elements as we see from RoiTov, in Veterans Today:

“Netanyahu will be the next Prime Minister, but he lost the elections and the coalitional negotiations. The settlers became the principal winners. Even if his party shows restraint and doesn’t carry out a putsch against him, this is probably the last government to be led by Bibi; he should never have chosen a nickname that means (also) ‘my-sewage.’ It became a self-fulfilling Pygmalion prophecy.”

The result for Netanyahu isn’t just a weakened government, the destruction of the Likud Party and probable uprisings in the Knesset.

Israel is reeling from a series of reversals, mass defections at the United Nations, abandonment by American Jews including top Jewish political leaders. More than that, the American people are willing to point their finger at Israel whose high standard of living is underwritten by the crippling taxes paid by low income Americans who are beginning to feel like “Palestinians.”

HERE IT COMES, THE “LIE BOMB”

This leaves Netanyahu and his personal axis of evil, Erdogan in Turkey, Aliyev in Azerbaijan, his friends in the Persian Gulf States, his Saudi brothers and the puppet regime in Jordan.

Losing America as an “occupied zone” like the West Bank is the loss Netanyahu will never recover from.

However, whatever happens during Obama’s upcoming visit next week, what we hear from the press will be the same moronic drooling Hollywood has been pouring out in a raging torrent.

Whenever reality rears its head, the “Iran and the bomb” mantra begins, first as a chant, then a crescendo.

The real meetings, the conclaves, are never publicized. Israel, at least as we knew it, is dead. The plots will continue, the cluster bombs will fall on Gaza; cyber warfare against the world will remain unabated.

The spying, the assassinations, the organ thefts, nothing will appear changed.

DEAD, GONE, TOO LATE

Israel put all its resources behind a losing presidential candidate. It then tried to grind the American government to a halt by brazenly demonstrating total control of the Republican Party, not realizing that they had hitched themselves to, not only a dead horse but one the maggots keep clear of.
Some years ago, someone said:

“History will erase Zionism from the sands of time.”

They were right. Zionism is dead. As it goes thru its death throes, much is revealed of its nature.
The failure of one form of evil isn’t enough to restore justice.

Back in 1942, a famous British politician said, while speaking at Mansion House in London:

“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”

US Aid to Israel Could Dodge Sequester Cuts

 

Sequester to Cut Education but Could Continue Massive Aid to Israel

American Public Unaware of the Screw Job!

The ambitious goal to be formally designated as the United States’ “major strategic ally” is apparently on the agenda at the annual American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee gathering that’s kicking off in Washington, known as AIPAC. If the plan becomes legislation, it could oblige the US to support Israel diplomatically and militarily if it strikes Iran.

Robert Naiman, policy director at Just Foreign Policy, says that it could also exempt Israel from any reduction in foreign aid that might result from budget cuts.

HERE COMES EVIL

By Lasha Darkmoon

 

By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes.
— Macbeth, iv.i.4

 

This article was published yesterday here ; and subsequently, here and here.

 

In a few weeks’ time, Americans will face the grim prospect of choosing a new government, either headed by the same president or by a new one. Why a grim prospect? Because the choice is between an aggressive war criminal and a draft dodging, chickenhawk warmonger, both of them puppets of organized Jewry. No matter who you vote for, you end up with dystopia. You end up with wickedness in high places.

 

It’s only a matter of time before the masses are shaken from their slumber and realize that the world that awaits them is a world under the dominion of evil.

 

Our government is now controlled by a criminal cabal. Our country is a loony bin where the crazies are in charge. Our cities are crime factories. Our banks are run by bandits who steal from the poor. Our schools are production lines for the manufacture of morons. Our places of work are venues of legalized exploitation and servitude. Our news is horror fiction. Our courts are coin-operated machines that crank out injustice. Our laws are dirty jokes. Our heroes are villains. Our celebrities are abominations. Our politicians are psychopaths at large. We live in an America where torture has now been normalized and murder is legal—an Orwellian world too terrifying even for Orwell’s imagination.

 

Here are some facts that will help to persuade you that the American Dream has morphed into a nightmare—that the country we now live in is a police state masquerading as a democracy.

 

*            *            *

 

“I don’t care if Americans think we’re running the news media, Hollywood, Wall Street or the government,” Jewish columnist Joel Stein wrote in the Los Angeles Times in December 2008.  “I just care that we get to keep running them.”

 

Mr Stein’s reckless candor in admitting that the Jews ran America was to cost him his job at the LA Times.

 

If Americans have lost their country to organized Jewry, they lost it slowly and imperceptibly. Indeed, most Americans remain unaware that their country no longer belongs to them. They fervently believe they still live in a democracy. This was a takeover not without precedent, however. It had happened to Germany. It had happened to Russia. It has now happened to America.

 

Germany, a mere shadow of what it might have been, is now a defeated and demoralized nation, thoroughly browbeaten by Jewry and terrified of their masters in Israel. Without stretching it too far, one could say that Germany has become Israel’s cash cow.

 

It was the Morgenthau Plan, specifically designed by the vengeful Henry Morgenthau as a collective punishment against the German people for the crimes of Hitler, that was to turn post-war Germany into “the largest concentration camp on earth.”

 

As late as 1991, German chancellors were still being forced, like enslaved vassals under the Roman Empire, to sign an “act of submission” to their Allied conquerors.

 

Russia too, like Germany, was to fall under Jewish domination.

 

According to Solzhenitsyn in The Gulag Archipelago, 66 million Russian Christians were put to death on the orders of the Cheka or Russian secret police. Though my good friend Israel Shamir, a respected authority on this point, is almost certainly correct in his view that these figures have been grossly inflated, Yuri Slezkine’s candid quote from historian Leonard Shapiro is nevertheless too well known to be casually dismissed: “Anyone who had the misfortune to fall into the hands of the Cheka stood a very good chance of finding himself confronted with and possibly shot by a Jewish investigator.

 

Germany…Russia…America. They all fell under Jewish hegemony. They had their hour in the sun, and then they had their eclipse.

 

It’s now America’s turn.

 

 

†     “We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it.” — Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, October 3, 2001.

 

†     “There is only one power that really counts: the power of political pressure. We Jews are the most powerful people on earth, because we have this power. And we know how to apply it.”  —  Ze’ev Jabotinski, Zionist leader and founder of the Irgun terrorist group, Jewish Daily Bulletin, July 27, 1935.

 

In Part 1 of my article, Goodbye, America, I discussed the problems facing America today and suggested that they are far more serious than those facing National Socialist Germany in the 1930s. Of the seven problems I listed, the four most intractable ones are these:

 

(1)     The nuclear-armed state of Israel and its Samson Option, neither of which existed as threats to peace before the establishment of the Zionist state in the wake of  World War Two.

 

(2)     The presence of 60 million Christian Zionists in America who are hand in glove with our new Masters, aiding and abetting them in their violation of international law and the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

 

(3)     The existence of a tentacular network of Jewish organizations in America, such as the ADL and AIPAC, holding the entire country to ransom; specifically, its mercenary and morally bankrupt politicians.

 

(4)       The lethal weapon of multiculturalism, a weapon unavailable for use against either Germany or Russia but now deployed to devastating effect against America’s Euro-American majority. “Global elites view the White Western world as the main obstacle standing in the way of a future world government,” Pat Buchanan is widely reported to have said in a 2004 speech. “Multiculturalism is a tool used by such elites to dismantle White Western civilization.”

 

Given that the Jews managed to achieve almost complete control of Germany and Russia even before the foundation of the Jewish state in 1948, it must surely be obvious that their executive power has increased exponentially with the acquisition of a military base in the Middle East, armed to the teeth with the deadliest nuclear warheads, many of these aimed at European capitals and some of them probably at the United States.

 

Though it is a commonly known fact that Israel has 200-300 nuclear warheads, it is not so well known that this Mideast Goliath possesses even more devastating weapons in its armory, including at least 35 thermo-nuclear bombs fueled by lithium-6 deuteride; and even—as some American military experts believe—intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM’s) capable of one day reaching New York and Los Angeles, though these latter weapons have yet to be tested. (See this authoritative article on Israel’s military capacities).

 

It would be foolish to think that a country that killed Americans in cold blood in the USS Liberty incident of 1967, and may well have been implicated in the 9/11 attack on the homeland, would have any scruples about attacking Americans again on a much vaster scale if ever America became the object of their hatred.

 

*            *            *

 

It is important at his point to consider the hidden facts surrounding the foundation of the state of Israel, if only because this will help us to get a better perspective of the Jewish problem.

 

It is almost universally believed, thanks to Jewish ownership of the mass media, that the UN created Israel and that everyone was delighted when this happened. This is demonstrably false. Even the US government—or 99 percent of it—was adamantly opposed to the foundation of Israel. Indeed, former Undersecretary of State Dean Acheson was one of many who raised strenuous objections to America recognizing the Jewish state, predicting that “the West would pay a high price for Israel.”

 

In spite of all these misgivings, the Jews got their state.

 

Why the Zionist land grabbers should now be held in such high esteem in America and elsewhere, and their Palestinian victims spat upon and spurned at every opportunity, can be easily explained.

 

Apart from the Jewish-owned mass media which has managed to glamorize and cast a rose-tinted glow over its Frankenstein monster in the Middle East, the answer lies in one word: Holocaust. The Zionists have managed to convince the world that they are the moral legatees of the victims of the Holocaust. As such, they remain the Ultimate Victims.

 

Like Finkelstein, we are entitled to express concern over the cheap exploitation of Jewish suffering. It is an undeniable fact that the Holocaust is a major industry and that it is used as moral blackmail and carte blanche for monstrous crimes.

 

Israeli writer Ari Shavit summed it up neatly when he said: “We may murder with impunity, because the Holocaust museum is on our side”.

 

*            *            *

 

We are in a critical situation.

 

It was never Palestine on its own that organized Jewry wanted. Palestine was simply to be their base of operations for the conquest of the rest of the world.  According to Israel Shamir:

 

Palestine is not the ultimate goal of the Jews; the world is.  Palestine is just the place for world state headquarters…..The Jews intend to turn Jerusalem into the supreme capital of the world, and its rebuilt temple into the focal point of the Spirit on Earth. Christianity will die, the spirit will depart from the nations in our part of the world, and our present dubious democracy will be supplanted by a vast theocratic state. De-spiritualized and uprooted, homeless and lonely, yesterday’s Masters of the World [WASPs] will become slaves in all but name….The Jewish universe is good for Jews. It is a curse for others.  In the US, as Jewish influence has grown steadily since 1968, the lives of ordinary people have worsened. A good time for the Jews is not a good time for mankind. The blessing of the Jews is a curse for others. The regimes that are “good for Jews” are rarely good for anybody else.

 

The runes are easy enough to read. From the domination of Germany and Russia, the Jews contrived to leapfrog to the domination of America.

 

We see through a glass darkly, but what we see through the gathering gloom is the grim specter of an American dystopia: a Third World country hardly worth living in for most Americans.

 

It costs the American taxpayer $12 million an hour just to keep US troops in Afghanistan, a country America decided to invade on a rollercoaster of neoconservative lies.

 

Incredibly, America’s closest ally, Israel, has yet to contribute a single soldier to any of Washington’s wars on their behalf—though Israeli commandos were kind enough to “advise” the Americans on torture techniques at Abu Ghraib in 2004.

 

American Jews have never been particularly noted for their presence, let alone their heroism, in America’s fighting forces. They prefer to fight with their pens, which they do most valiantly, far from the din of battle. It is they who beat the war drums the loudest, who profit most from the wanton slaughter of innocents, and who “get others to fight and die for them.”

 

Ruled by a Jewish elite and their Shabbat goy underlings, beyond the reach of international law and hated throughout the world, America is now an Israeli colony in all but name.

 

The days of wine and roses, of mom and apple pie, are long since over. The American Dream is dead. Like Germany and Russia before it, America lies vanquished.

 

“When the world looks at America, what it sees is an Israeli colony.”
— Paul Craig Roberts

 

America has been taken over.

 

Slowly and imperceptibly, duped by lies and lulled into complacency, Americans have let their country slip into the hands of a fifth column: of  a hostile ethnic elite whose primary allegiance is to Israel, a country built on stolen land and engaged in systematic genocide.

 

How is it that this rude and recalcitrant “ally” of America still continues to receive its $3 billion a year subsidy? Is America so besotted with love for the Jewish state that it cannot say ‘No’? Silly question. Since it rests on the Chomskyite assumption that America is still the lord and master and little Israel the dependent colony.

 

The riddle is easily solved if one turns Chomsky’s assumption on its head: organized Jewry, having taken over America, has transformed it into an Israeli colony. The $8.2 million per day that the American taxpayer pays his Jewish master is not a subsidy. It is tribute money: a tax or levy imposed on a vanquished people by their conquerors.

 

According to political pundit Philip Giraldi, this is “the first time in recorded history that a small nation with less than eight million citizens has subjugated a much larger country with a population of more than 310 million…. [America is now] a slave to Israel.”

 

The Zionization of America is complete, with AIPAC appointing the government and 60 million Christian Zionists ready to die for their new masters in Jerusalem.

 

The ruler of the American colony and his useful idiot

 

WHO  RULES  AMERICA?

 

“I’ve never seen a President stand up to them. They always get what they want. If the American people understood what a grip those people have got on our government, they would rise up in arms.” (Admiral Thomas Moorer, former Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, 1983)

 

It was the Jews who twisted President Truman’s arm and got him to give his full backing to their fledgling state. It was the Jews again, through their vengeful  representative Morgenthau, who were to make life a living hell for the conquered Germans in the aftermath of World War II. The Jews were always in the background, it seems, the shadowy lurkers in the cabbage patch of history.

 

The colony that the Brits had failed to acquire in the Middle East, Israel, was inherited by America. To start with, Israel was to be America’s aircraft carrier in the Middle East. The Americans would use it as a gigantic military base from which to plunder Arab oil. Nor would they have any problems with Ben Gurion’s dreams of a Greater Israel stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates. After all, why not give the Jews what they wanted?

 

Greater Israel was simply to be an extension of America: its fifty-first state.

 

Things didn’t work out as planned. The best-laid schemes of mice and men, we are told, often go awry. The tables were turned on the simple-minded Americans. The Jews were much smarter than their WASP masters could ever be. They knew how to cheat. They networked. They had acquired through three thousand years of bitter experience the arts of duplicity and cunning. Guile was their genetic patrimony, intrigue the milieu in which they flourished. They were the Ultimate Survivors.

 

______________________________________________________________

Yes, one has to hand it to the Jews. The hitherto oppressed decided to become the oppressors. The former victims decided to take on the role of predators. The previous puppets decided to become the Puppet Masters.

______________________________________________________________

In short, the Jews took over America and turned it into a Jewish colony. As simple as that. Their American hosts were hoist with their own petard.

 

But why worry? American Jews are Americans, are they not? If they’re smart enough to take over America, as they have demonstrably done, why shouldn’t they proceed to the next logical step and take over the world—yes, dominate the world  through America? No one denies this is America’s aim: full spectrum dominance. So if the Jews control America, and if America controls the world, doesn’t it follow logically that the Jews control the world? The logic is irrefutable.

 

Jewish world domination takes on a different perspective when viewed through this historical prism. No “conspiracy theories” here. No hook-nosed Jews grasping the globe in their cruel talons. No Illuminati trying to sodomize your children and drink their blood. Just logic. Just history. Just America striving for full-spectrum dominance—with Jews leading the pack.

 

You could say the wild-eyed dreams of the Protocols have at last been realized, but not in the way their original masterminds intended.

 

*            *            *

 

“We should never forget what happened when Jews were a hostile elite in the USSR,” Prof. Kevin MacDonald notes bleakly. “The loathing and contempt for the traditional people and culture of Russia was a major factor in the avid Jewish participation in the greatest crimes of the 20^th century.”

 

MacDonald is referring to the systematic murder of several million Russian Christians under Lenin and Stalin: a period of mass murder spanning 36 years (1917-1953). During this entire period moreover, as recently released documents from Soviet archives reveal, thousands of Christian churches were destroyed—but not a single synagogue. (See here)

 

The new American elite, as we all know, is a Jewish elite. Exactly like the elite in Bolshevik Russia and Stalin’s USSR. And it is—this cannot be emphasized too strongly—a hostile elite that “loathes the nation it rules.”

 

So we need to watch out.

 

Because what happened to millions of Russians in the first half of the 2oth  century—systematic genocide—could well happen to millions of Americans in the foreseeable future.

 

“It is quite possible,” Kevin MacDonald muses, “that we are entering into a racial dystopia of unimaginable cruelty.”

 

*            *            *

 

The world that awaits us, if our New Masters prevail, will be a grim dystopia. It will be a spiritual wasteland in which an unprincipled elite rides roughshod over the teeming masses. It will be a cruel world of exploitation, moral darkness, and unspeakable brutality.

 

“Death solves all problems,” Stalin quipped cynically. “No man, no problem.” When mass extermination becomes the miracle cure, exciting times can be expected.

 

In Otto Friedrich’s widely acclaimed Holocaust study, The Kingdom of Auschwitz, a concentration camp survivor is quoted as saying:

 

Concentration camp existence taught us that the whole world is really like a concentration camp. The world is ruled by neither justice nor morality. Crime is not punished nor virtue rewarded. The world is ruled by power. We are laying the foundation for some new, monstrous civilization.

 

An innocent victim of this “new, monstrous civilization”, a Palestinian child, his arm cut off by an Israeli settler for throwing a stone.

(See here for original source of this shocking and controversial picture; for other sources, see here)

 

So this is where we are now: in the eye of the storm.

 

America, once a democracy, is now a crypto-fascist country ruled in the interests of the richest one percent of its population, a substantial number of them Jews. And the richest Jew in the world, Sheldon Adelson, is the man behind Presidential candidate Mitt Romney—a Zionist puppet who would have no qualms in sacrificing America for Israel.

 

“There is no freedom, no democracy, and no government accountability in Amerika, a fascist state,” Paul Craig Roberts concludes ruefully in one of his recent essays.

 

The Jews, fulfilling the wildest dreams conjured up in the Protocols, stand surveying the killing fields of the world they have conquered. Iraq and Afghanistan lie in ruins, thanks to their machinations. Iran lies in the cross-hairs, awaiting its expected doom. And meanwhile in America, as the body bags are flown in from foreign parts and the lurid circus of bread and games grinds on relentlessly, there is nothing much to live for except sex and death.

 

Stalin’s willing executioners, the Jews, are now the ruling elite in America. As in Weimar Germany, the Jews make most of the money and help to create a culture of neo-paganism and nihilism, decadence and despair. Nothing has changed except the country.

 

Russia, Germany, America—they all went down like skittles in a row.

The Palestine Romney (and Obama) doesn’t know.

The Palestine Romney (and Obama) doesn’t know. Graphix by Don Nash at Skulzwerks

By Zahi Khouri | Sabbah Report: http://sabbah.biz/mt/?p=14273

I am a proud American. I am a hardworking businessman and job creator. I am a faithful Christian.

And I am Palestinian.

Much as my multiple identities might drive Mitt Romney to head scratching, it is he who needs a lesson in, to borrow his recent words, “culture and a few other things.”

Were he to spend a day with me in the Holy Land, I could take him to the Jerusalem neighborhood where my family home has stood for five centuries. I could show him the orange trees in Jaffa that my family helped introduce to the world in the 1930s.

That’s right: Jaffa oranges are a Palestinian, not Israeli, trademark. Yet like so many “cultural” markers claimed by the self-professed Jewish state, even the fruit trees my people have tended for centuries have been expropriated.

Romney might be duped into thinking that oranges, falafel and hummus — staples of Palestinian cuisine for generations — are Israeli products. But how dare he claim that a state built at the expense of another people’s history and accomplishments is guided by “the hand of providence”?

Israel did not make the desert bloom. Instead, thanks to a deal struck with the British viceroys of Mandate Palestine, it made away with a land, a set of institutions and, indeed, a culture that was not its own.

It did so at the expense of my people. Like more than three-quarters of Palestine’s population, my family was forced to leave this land after Israel’s creation in 1948. Even though we had to abandon our successful businesses and centuries-old homes, however, we did not become the “uncultured” victims that Romney’s caricature suggests.

Most of us went to other Arab countries, where Palestinians became known for our business acumen and management know-how, and helped to build nascent private and public sectors. Ask our fellow Arabs in Lebanon, Jordan or elsewhere in the Persian Gulf region and they will tell you: Palestinian culture, with its premium on education and hard work, has been a force for hope, development and prosperity.

Despite their circumstances, Palestinians living under Israel’s brutal occupation share the same culture and proudly claim the same remarkable achievements. I, for one, returned to Palestine in 1993 to launch the first Coca-Cola bottling plant in the West Bank. It was granted a Best Country Bottling Operation award in May by Coca-Cola, a testament to my colleagues’ ingenuity and determination. But these traits alone cannot overcome the stifling effects of Israel’s occupation.

If Romney got one thing right, it’s that Israelis far outdo Palestinians in net wealth. In fact, his estimates of the disparity were too conservative: Israel’s per capita gross domestic product is roughly $32,000 to the Palestinians’ $1,500.

Remarkably, that $1,500 figure is roughly half of what Palestinians claimed in 1993, when the Oslo accords were signed. In other words, the U.S.-sponsored peace process has made us poorer.

How is that possible?

Palestinians have no say in our economic development. Every resource — water, land, soil, minerals, airspace, humans — is controlled and commandeered by Israel, which then deigns to sell us back a small portion.

In the West Bank, for example, Israeli settlers consume on average 4.3 times the amount of water as Palestinians. In the Jordan Valley alone, some 9,000 settlers in Israeli agricultural settlements use one-quarter the amount of water consumed by the entire Palestinian population of the West Bank, about 2.5 million people.

Palestinians have no control over our borders. This means we cannot import or export without being subject to discriminatory measures by our occupier. It also means that, without Israeli permission, we cannot hire experts to enhance our employees’ skills or send employees for overseas training.

Worse, we are restricted within the territories ostensibly under our “control.” At any given time, there are more than 500 Israeli checkpoints, roadblocks and other barriers to movement within the occupied West Bank — an area smaller than Delaware — hindering Palestinians and their goods from moving between their own towns and cities and the outside world.

Palestinian development of all kinds is severely hindered by the Israeli occupation. Yet Palestinians have not given up. Palestine has one of the highest literacy rates in the Arab world. Our youth continue to graduate from our universities, opening businesses and gaining skills. Our private sector innovates and grows.

All of this is happening on the 22 percent of historic Palestine that is the West Bank and Gaza. If Romney had any historical perspective, he would dispose of his racist judgments about Palestinian culture and instead imagine our potential without Israel’s imposed hindrances.

Don’t Vote for Evil

By Paul Craig Roberts

"Information Clearing House" - Back during the George W. Bush neocon regime, President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela in his UN speech summed up George W. Bush for the world. I am quoting Chavez from memory, not verbatim.  “Yesterday standing at this same podium was Satan himself, speaking as if he owned the world. You can still smell the sulfur.”

Chavez is one of the American right-wing’s favorite bogyman, because Chavez helps the people instead of bleeding them for the rich, which is Washington’s way.  While Washington has driven all but the one percent into the ground, Chavez cut poverty in half, doubled university enrollment, and provided health care and old age pensions to millions of Venezuelans for the first time.

Little wonder he was elected to a third term as president despite the many millions of dollars Washington poured into the election campaign of Chavez’s opponent.

While Washington and the EU preach neoliberalism–the supremacy of capital over labor–South American politicians who reject Washington’s way are being elected and reelected in Venezuela, Ecuador, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Bolivia.

It was the Ecuadoran government, not Washington, that had the moral integrity to grant political asylum to WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange. The only time Washington grants asylum is when it can be used to embarrass an opponent.

In contrast to the leadership that is emerging in South America as more governments there reject the traditional hegemony of Washington, the US political elite, whether Republican or Democrat, are aligned with the rich against the American people.

The Republican candidate, Mitt Romney, has promised to cut taxes on the rich, taxes which are already rock bottom, to block any regulation of the gangsters in the financial arena, and to privatize Social Security and Medicare.

Privatizing Social Security and Medicare means to divert the people’s tax dollars to the profits of private corporations. In Republican hands, privatization means only one thing: to cut the people’s benefits and to use the people’s tax dollars to increase the profits in the private sector.  Romney’s policy is just another policy that sacrifices the people to the one percent.

Unfortunately, the Democrats, if a lesser evil, are still an evil. There is no reason to vote  for the reelection of a president who codified into law the Bush regime’s destruction of the US Constitution, who went one step further and asserted the power to murder US citizens without due process of law, and who has done nothing to stop the exploitation of the American people by the one percent.

As Gerald Celente says in the Autumn Issue of the Trends Journal, when confronted with the choice between two evils, you don’t vote for the lesser evil. You boycott the election and do not vote. “Lessor or greater, evil is evil.”

If Americans had any sense, no one would vote in the November election.  Whoever wins the November election, it will be a defeat for the American people.

An Obama or Romney win stands in stark contract with Chavez’s win. Here is how Lula da Silva, the popular former president of Brazil summed it up: “Chavez’s victory is a victory for all the peoples of Latin America. It is another blow against imperialism.” Washington, making full use of the almighty dollar, was unable to buy the Venezuelan election.

How will a Romney or Obama win be summed up?  The answer will be in terms of which candidate is best for Israel’s interest;  which is best for Wall Street’s interest, which is best for agribusiness; which is most likely to attack Iran; which is most likely to subject economic and war protesters to indefinite detention as domestic extremists.

The only people who will benefit from the election of either Romney or Obama are those associated with the private oligarchies that rule America.

Friday September 28, 2012, What We are Not Told

No Shovel Could Ever Uncover the Truth or Bury the Lies

By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor
—
As a change from what has been done of late by the press, we will attempt some “forthrightfulness and honesty.”  This UN thing, the one that has just ended, sold the point Ahmadinejad made about how the UN has outlived its purpose.

This was pure theatre.  The Netanyahu comic rant was bad enough.  Worse, however, is the failure of the press to cover reactions to Netanyahu, to the lonely “walkout” by Israel and to follow up with the 193 nations, 120 of which chose Iran to represent them as head of the non-aligned nations.

No decent evaluation was done of Obama’s speech.  One was needed.  Obama very rightly chastised those responsible for the violence against American diplomatic missions, walked a careful line, demonstrated some real anger and disappointment and said what was needed but, as this is an election year, stuck to his usual mentions of the holocaust, something the mention of is utterly unproductive.

If the holocaust, whether people choose to believe a version of it or not, as should be allowed by any free people, after all, America didn’t execute those who voted for Bush 43 though from a Darwinian standpoint, such an action might have been justified, happened a long time ago.

The holocaust has been misused as an excuse to bilk money, murder civilians and, we can’t say this enough, do to innocent others what is claimed was done to them many decades ago by people long dead and gone.

Similarly, the Palestinian people see themselves as victims of a continuing holocaust and imprisoned in an apartheid state.  However, examining this issue has been declare a violation of law, though it is a simple issue of free speech, because powerful financial interests has undermined human rights in every western nation.
Here is my approach:

1. Israel should sign the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty) and dispose of her 200 to 400 useless nuclear weapons.  Until that time, any word Israel says about “others” is not credible. 

1. Israel should adopt a constitution and Bill of Rights as the US has, guaranteeing equal rights to all and become a secular state that recognizes religious freedom.  Attacks on churches and mosques over the past few weeks have been unacceptable and demonstrate that Israel needs to clean house as much as anyone else. 

1. Israel must establish legal borders as without that, it is impossible for the US to have any binding agreements.  No borders and no constitution and the US is legally prohibited from anything other than “verbal assurances” by law. 

1. Once borders and a legal system are in place, after over six decades, then the US can formally sign a treaty with Israel or Israel can join NATO if they wish.  There is no nation in the Middle East capable of military action against Israel and no nation has threatened Israel other than Iran who trades threats with Israel four or five times a day. 

1. An agreement based on the Camp David Accord model should be sought between the US, Israel, Iran and the Gulf States.  We can stop pretending that a hundred billion dollars in illegal trade goes on between these nations and allow regional demilitarization. 

1. Netanyahu was not wrong when he pointed out yesterday that a number of Islamic nations defy normal human rights.  He failed to place Israel among them.  What we ask of him and of Israel is reasonable to be asked of others despite “religious traditions” and tribal or ethnic differences.  90% of it involves theft of oil money and abuse of slave labor.

However, with all that “finger pointing,” it is impossible for any reasonable person to no demand the United States “re-democratize,” and overturn “Citizens United” and be willing to submit all military actions outside its borders to oversight by a more reputable authority than the United Nations Security Council.

Kudo’s to Sheldon Adelson for having the chutzpah to admit he is buying a president who will keep him out of jail and cut his taxes by 2 billion.  As for Romney:

“W” (Bush 43) was right when he said we would eventually miss him.  However, it was Romney, not Obama that brought it about.  Similarly, I score Adelson low as to vision and “humanity,” but well above Romney as far as honesty goes.  At one point, I was advocating that Romney dump Adelson.

Now I think Adelson should dump Romney.  Nobody is forced to walk into a casino at gunpoint. Nobody has ever done business in China without paying bribes.  Time some realities were accepted and we moved on with less “self righteousness.”

President Erdogan of Turkey pointed out that both China and Russia are largely complicit in the continuing slaughter in Syria.  However, there has long been a “double game” involving Israel, Turkey and Syria that Russia and China have sought to exploit as part of their desire to seem as “saviors of mankind” while being the new “roach infestation” of the world, the real “neo-colonialists.”

Attempts to make heroes out of nations whose history of gamesmanship and exploitation is as bad as any in history will not fly were the entire world to receive balanced and reasonable information on issues of geopolitics.

In the process, we see the fingers of North Korea behind many things but in doing so, we find those fingers attached to a “Chinese hand.”  Were more well informed, such as the CFR and other groups, the huge threat of Japan, China and the Koreas would be more “center stage” than the minor problems of the Middle East.
World War is much more likely there and the stakes are far higher.

A couple of fringe issues here toward the end.  There are several things that also need looking at:

1. Major powers with capabilities in space have been sending up armed platforms, nuclear weapons, advanced “after next generation” energy weapons and “unusual” satellites.  We either admit that we are out hunting flying saucers or admit that we plan to fight a world war by shooting down each others satellites and dumping bombs on each other.  

1. There is a flood of information out there recently, the sources are “official but deniable.”  None deny contact with “little green men” but rather steer the dialog as to whether they are all friendly and well mannered or that some might be more than warlike but right out of the film “Independence Day.”  My question is not whether or not any of this is true but why so many who are obviously on government payrolls are saying these things.

Eleven years after 9/11, the majority of educated and competent military and diplomatic professionals who we are in contact with, more than a minor representation, have all been quizzed about their take on “9/11.”

I have asked that this be done with no pressure and with assurance that no names would be used.

Currently, none ascribe to the “hijacker” theories.  About 80% indicate nuclear weapons with the rest actually mentioning Dr. Judy Wood and her theories of a “free energy weapon.”

Of the military, about 15% mention Israel.  None of the diplomats do.
All the rest say “the ‘neocons’ did it.”

However, over 50% of high ranking members of the military say they are wary that Israel is planning an attack either on US forces in the Persian Gulf or major terror attacks in the US scheduled for mid-October.

None openly express hostility toward Israel but most rate Netanyahu somewhere between “liability” to “friggin’ nuts.”

A major issue with all nations is that whoever controls the media and the internet “kill switch” or directs traffic, like “Google” tends to misuse this capability on behalf of that invisible criminal enterprise that is believed by most bipedal hominids to exercise “super-national” powers to an extent that an alien invasion by brain sucking zombies might be a welcomed change.

(I was talking with Jim Fetzer on Skype while Sean Hannity was in the background.  I am beginning to think Hannity is CGI like the old Max Headroom show from MTV)
Toward that end I will credit Michael Shrimpton, who I politically NEVER agree with for his extremely good work in exposing ties between the current German regime, Russian organized crime and terror groups around the world.

It is time we had Merkel’s DNA checked.  Those “in the know” will understand why.
Without sounding like Cato the Elder and his career-long closing remark in the Roman Senate:  “Carthage must be destroyed,” I will add the following:

Simply overturning Citizens United, the greatest attack on American democracy in history isn’t enough.  With drug cartels partnering with certain Mormon elements to detach the Southwestern US and form a Narco-Republic, one already in place in Arizona and $20 billion of the Afghan heroin trade coming to the US, buying officials at every level, bribing police, financing assassinations like the killings of Sheriff Deaver in Cochise County, AZ and the murder of J.T. Ready and his family, two of many, it is time we paid more attention to the Taliban.

They  have been actively looking for an authority in the US that will negotiate with them to end heroin production in Afghanistan.  Nobody will talk with them.

There seems to be more fear of the war ending and the drug shipments being at risk than anything else.

Frankly, more than a few members of America’s congress are terrified their “cut” from the Afghan heroin trade would end if the killing stopped.  To that extent, Afghanistan is perfect, a country willing to remain at war forever, never tiring of blowing up American planes, blowing the legs and arms off our sons and daughters and oblivious to their own casualties.

Gene Khrushchev tells me of his years there.

I listen, few others bother.

Bibi Cries, Obama Lies: What else is new?

by Jim Fetzer

—
“The inmates are running the asylum!”–variation on a quote attributed to Charlie Chaplin

The lunatic  Netanyahu showing off his intense stupidity at the UN

The situation is quite absurd:  Bibi Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, gives a new twist to the old term, “Cry, Bibi! Cry!”, which captures to a “t” his distress at not getting the war he wanted, as Mike Rivero has explained below.  
 
And as though to demonstrate that the President of the United States, Barack Obama, himself believes childish fantasies that no person above the age of 12 continues to accept, he has also appeared at the UN to assert that “Al Qaeda has been weakened and Osama bin Laden is no more” and by subtle implication reaffirm the “official account” of 9/11, according to which 19 Islamic terrorists had hijacked four commercial carriers, outfoxed the most sophisticated air defense system in the world, committing the atrocities of 9/11 under the control of a man in a cave in Afghanistan, who would die–for the second time–to promote the political agenda, not this time of Bush and Cheney, but of Barack Obama.


It would be reassuring if he would display an more candid appreciation of reality than the Israeli Prime Minister. Beginning with Obama, while his language is smoother and less obvious in its intent, the leaders of what are arguably the two most influential nations in the world are both performing in ways that not only embarrass themselves but the nations they represent.  Perhaps the most interesting aspect was his remarks about the death of Ambassador Christopher Stevens in Libya, where he could have mentioned Al Qaeda or the Green Party, had Obama believed they were involved, which suggests that he actually believes other agents were involved, especially since it occurred not at the Embassy but at a safe house, where the Ambassador’s location would only have been known to a small group in confidence, which means that it was a tiny “inside job”.  Gordon Duff has address some of these issues in his latest appearance on PressTV:

Mossad organized attack on US consulate in Benghazi: Analyst

Obama’s presentation at the UN

During his speech to the United Nations on Tuesday, 25 September 2012, Barack Obama made the obligatory denunciations of Iran’s nuclear energy program and begs the question by taking for granted that Iran is pursuing the development of nuclear weapons, when Iran has disavowed their pursuit and 16 US intelligence agencies have agreed, which suggests that Obama is not paying attention to his own best sources of information:

“Let me be clear: America wants to resolve this issue through diplomacy, and we believe that there is still time and space to do so. But that time is not unlimited. We respect the right of nations to access peaceful nuclear power, but one of the purposes of the United Nations is to see that we harness that power for peace. Make no mistake: a nuclear-armed Iran is not a challenge that can be contained.

“It would threaten the elimination of Israel, the security of Gulf nations, and the stability of the global economy. It risks triggering a nuclear-arms race in the region, and the unraveling of the non-proliferation treaty. That is why a coalition of countries is holding the Iranian government accountable. And that is why the United States will do what we must to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.”

He seems oblivious of the fact that Iran has disavowed the pursuit of nuclear weapons; that Iran has not attacked any other country for more than 300 years; that Iran has signed the NPT; that Iran has allowed inspectors into its facilities; and that Israel has 200-600 or more of these little beauties; that Israel has not signed the NPT; and that Israel will not allow inspectors into its facilities.  Moreover, while Obama, like Netanyahu, makes exaggerated claims about the consequences of Iran possessing nukes, such an eventuality would do far more to promote stability in the Middle East than for Israel alone to possess them.  He does not appear to have thought this through.

In a brilliant article by Saman Mohammadi, “Obama Defends False 9/11 Narrative And Absolves USrael of Guilt For Middle East Chaos In Bizarre UN Speech”, the author observes that Obama makes additional claims about the Middle East and 9/11 that are also seriously misleading and unjustifiable, including:

 * that the recent protests in the Middle East were provoked entirely by the YouTube trailer for the film, “Innocence of Muslims.” But, as he observes,

Obama failed to mention that, prior to the release of the trailer, multiple and illegal U.S. occupations of Muslim countries after the false flag September 11 events had already made Muslims angry at the United States government.  Rage against the godless and Evil Empire was brewing way before any talk of an anti-Islam film surfaced in the Middle East.  Obama clearly lives in an alternate universe. According to his worldview, Washington’s unconditional support for the terrorist state in Israel isn’t as big of a deal in the Muslim world as the airing of a 12 minute film trailer mocking Prophet Muhammad.

 * that he, Barack Obama, had ordered the death of Osama bin Laden, which took place during a daring raid in Pakistan that was a fabrication:

It shouldn’t be surprising to see Obama lie so profusely in a major international speech. After all, lying is the biggest cornerstone of his re-election strategy. His biggest lie is that he ordered the death of Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan. Only Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells more lies on the U.N. stage. The truth is that Obama has killed more women and children with his drones than actual terrorists. The truth is that without deception Obama wouldn’t be President. The truth is that this naked emperor has nothing to stand on except lies.

* that the United States remains a bastion of freedom of speech, when the “freedom of speech” he most supports is for those who support him:

Obama’s “defense of free speech” does not include ideas and truths that contradict his statements.Obama believes in freedom of speech in Libya, Egypt, and Syria, but not in America, where it is constrained by the label “conspiracy theory.”  What is Obama’s answer to the family members of the victims of 9/11 when they call for free speech in the U.S. press regarding 9/11? Silence.

It is easy to support free speech in a foreign society, but it doesn’t count unless you also support free speech in yourown society. I’ll be more impressed with Obama if he defended the speech of 9/11 truth-tellers, supported the speech of the Occupy Wall Street movement, and apologized to the world for lying about killing Bin Laden. Until then, this hypocrite cannot be taken seriously.

 And I could not agree more that it is insulting to see the “leader of the free world” on the biggest stage in history wasting humanity’s time by talking nonsense and speaking falsehoods. Obama is betraying human conscience and disrespecting the international community’s intelligence. The world deserves to hear the truth about 9/11, not an American president lying and absolving the U.S. governmentand the Israeli government of guilt for the chaos, violence, and turmoil in the Middle East. And that is especially true when the claims he was making have been proven false and widely publish in venues such as Veterans Today and elsewhere in the world.  The evidence that impugns the “official account” of 9/11, for example, is massive and compelling, extending from no Boeing 757 having hit the Pentagon to the fabrication of all four “crash sites” to the use of mini or micro-nukes to demolish the Twin Towers and that these crimes were arranged by the neo-cons in complicity with the Mossad.

The second death of Osama bin Laden

Everyone knows that Barack Obama took out Osama bin Laden during that daring raid on his compound in Pakistan, right?  There was even that famous photograph of Obama, Biden and Hillary watching as it went down.  However, as Leon Panetta, Director of the CIA, explained there had been no coverage for the first 20-25 minutes, where these assaults only take five minutes or less. Osama bin Laden actually died of medical complications on or about December 15, 2001 and was buried in an unmarked grave. An article by Gordon Duff, subtitled, “Hunt for Bin Laden a National Shame”, had appeared already in December 2009, which began:

The embarassment of having Secretary of State Clinton talk about bin Laden in Pakistan was horrific. He has been dead since December 13, 2001 and now, finally, everyone, Obama, McChrystal, Cheney, everyone who isn’t nuts is finally saying what they have known for years. However … Since we spent 200 million dollars on “special ops” looking for someone we knew was dead, who is going to jail for that? Since Bush, Rumsfeld and Cheney continually talked about a man they knew was dead, now known to be for reasons of POLITICAL nature, who is going to jail for that?

Why were tapes brought out, now known to be forged, as legitimate intelligence to sway the disputed 2004 election in the U.S.? . . . The bin Laden scam is one of the most shameful acts ever perpetrated against the American people. We don’t even know if he really was an enemy, certainly he was never the person that Bush and Cheney said. In fact, the Bush and bin Laden families were always close friends and had been for many years.

Scholars for 9/11 Truth published an editorial about it. David Ray Griffin wrote a book on it, Osama Bin Laden: Dead or Alive?  Nicholas Kollerstrom has an article about it, “Osama bin Laden: 1957-2001″, which means that there really is no doubt about it.  Obama was on the hot seat, not only over his phony birth certificate but also for keeping Guantanamo open and for having troops based in Pakistan at the time.  By claiming that the “tip” about Osama’s presence had come from Guantanamo and using troops stationed in Pakistan, he was able to sweep the birth certificate issue into the newsroom’s wastebasket but concurrently justify keeping the base open and troops in Pakistan.

It was a brilliant ploy and, if it was necessary for most of the SEALS who had allegedly participated in the raid to die in an unusual helicopter crash, that’s one of the prices of combat, alas. And now the great to-do about the book by the SEAL who claims to have been present when bin Laden was killed appears to be one more psyop embedded within another, but where he and others did not believe the man they killed looked like Osama.  Perhaps the effort to suppress the book is because it gets too close to the truth about another contrived event, where the principal pastime of our intel agencies turns out to be committing fabricated events and then covering them up!  Here’s Mike Rivero’s on Bibi’s latest stunt.

VIRTUAL 9/11: Will Israel Hack The US Banking System Computers and Falsely Blame It On Iran?

by Mike Rivero

Netanyahu didn’t get any traction at the UN today. Indeed his bomb chart has become an object of ridicule in the alternative media. By now he is throwing a huge tantrum. He wants his war and Netanyahu is a man used to always getting what he wants. There are only three things Netanyahu can do now to get the war with Iran going before the Israeli elections next month.

(1) The first is to simply go ahead and attack Iran, expecting that the United States will protect Israel from the counter-attack even if Israel struck the first blow.
 

(2) The second option is a false-flag attack somewhere in the world to be blamed on Iran, but that is a very chancy option given the video of WIMEA lobbyist Clawson actually selling the idea that a false flag to start the war with Iran is a great idea.

(3) The third and final option, and the one I am starting to think is the most likely, relates to the sudden flurry of media stories and statements by people like Joseph Lieberman about how Iranian hackers are attacking the US fin…. (Senator Lieberman has also been pressuring Obama to sign an executive order to take over the internet.) Of course, the common sense approach still applies. Why would Iran, which wishes to avoid a war, do something that provocative.

But we know that the US and Israel are behind the cyber-weapons like STUXNET, DUQU, FLAME, etc., taht these cyber-weapons were directed against Iran, and that one variantspecifically targeted banks in Lebanon and Iran. We also know that the US financial system is stretched to the breaking point, and we know that if the government of either Greece of Spain is driven from office by angry protests, credit default swaps sold by Wall Street against those debts come due, and there is no money to pay the claims. The Euro might even collapse, and that would trigger even more Credit Default Swaps.

So the final option, one that strikes me as very likely, is that Israel will take down the US financial computers, and blame it on Iran. This also gets Wall Street and Washington DC off the hook, because now the financial melt-down is an act of war, rather than the result of decades of Wall Street crime and corruption and the predations of Private Central Banks. US banks have already been hit with cyber attacks over the last two…, to set the stage. And this would also explain why the US corporate media has paid scant attention to the riots in Spain and Greece so that Americans still dependent on ABCNNBBCBS will remain oblivious to the fact that the Euro is falling apart.

This scenario also explains the testing of means to interfere with DNS to silence websites that may offer opposing interpretations of events (this too will be blamed on Iran).Such a cyber false-flag also gives the US Government the excuse to take total control of the internet so that those pesky truth-seeking bloggers don’t give the slaves uppity ideas that this is just another war-starting hoax like the attack on the USS Liberty or 9/11.
