| Posted: 19 Jun 2010 09:59 AM PDT Satans little helpers are working overtime duping gullible goyim into believing how upset they are with the Turkish president's faint attempts to break the genocidal blockade of Gaza. Think about it! All Erdogan has done is talk, talk, talk. It's a charade! Obama and Netanyahu knew all too well that they had to do some window dressing with regards to Gaza, so they got their best friend in Ankara to pull off this stunt. Then they put the likes of B'nai B'rith hatemongerer Abraham Foxman into motion to make us believe that the Zios are really upset with Turkey, followed by a symbolic easing of the blockade. If the Turks really wanted to help the Gazans, all they would need to do is escort aid ships en route to Gaza by the Turkish Navy. That's never going to happen! |

| Hitler's Speech of July 28, 1922 Posted: 19 Jun 2010 02:06 AM PDT It is a battle which began nearly 120 years ago, at the moment when the Jew was granted citizen rights in the European States. The political emancipation of the Jews was the beginning of an attack of delirium. For thereby they were given full citizen rights and equality to a people which was much more clearly and definitely a race apart than all others, that has always formed and will form a State within the State. That did not happen perhaps at one blow, but it came about as things come about today and always do come about: first a little finger, then a second and a third, and so bit by bit until at last a people that in the eighteenth century still appeared completely alien had won equal citizen-rights with ourselves. |
| Zionism's Colonial Enterprise Is Doomed, but… Posted: 19 Jun 2010 02:00 AM PDT Ronen Bergman, a senior military and political analyst for the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, recently wrote what I consider to be one of the most important articles for decades on the subject of the mindset of the Zionist state's military and political leaders. It was reproduced in the Wall Street Journal under the headline Siege Fatigue and the Flotilla Mistake. |
| Senator Chuck Schumer and the "Economic Strangulation" of Gaza Posted: 19 Jun 2010 01:45 AM PDT
Thomas was forced into retirement for declaring that Jews "should get the hell out of Palestine," but New York Senator Chuck Schumer, one of the most powerful politicians in the US, has avoided any criticism or even major press coverage for remarks he made only days later that supported the continued "economic strangulation" of Gaza; in part, because, he essentially argues, the inhabitants of the benighted Strip are not Jewish. |
| Washington: Theater of the Absurd Posted: 19 Jun 2010 01:32 AM PDT The festering corporate government in Washington, DC, is a theater of the absurd. Some of the acts of this tragedy follow: 1. Start with the often hapless Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the agency that administers Medicare. Medicare pays $1,593 per injection of Lucentis for wet age-related macular degeneration as well as $42 per dose for Avastin, a drug that has a similar molecular structure, used by ophthalmologists. |

| Easing Gaza's Siege: Bogus and Unacceptable Posted: 18 Jun 2010 10:01 PM PDT On June 17, Haaretz writer Barak Ravid and Reuters headlined, "Israel to ease Gaza land blockade," saying: "Israel's security cabinet voted Thursday to ease its land blockade of the Gaza Strip, following its deadly raid on a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for the (mischaracterized) Hamas-ruled territory," in fact, its legitimate government.

| Posted: 18 Jun 2010 06:05 PM PDT A holy book is a manual of operations. Without it, we are a people rudderless. The King James is glorious high impact. Succinct. Lyrically-perfect. Untouchable. Like Gabriel's Qur'an. Beyond the craft of man. Other versions of the Bible seem to me like gradations of literary corruption. This was done so moderate Christians can be led astray over time. It is a gradual process, this negation of God's Word, but I see that it proceeds without obstruction. Karl Marx can be proud of how today's church is not so much a church as it is a social club and dating service. |

| Will the BP Oil Spill Set Off A Supersonic Tsunami? by David DeGraw Posted: 18 Jun 2010 06:00 PM PDT I was sent an article yesterday that described a worst case scenario in the BP Gulf oil spill which described a possibility that sounded too horrifying to be true. The report said the BP drill site is directly over a massive underground reservoir of methane that could result in a huge explosion that would create "a supersonic tsunami" that "would literally sweep away everything from Miami to the panhandle in a matter of minutes. Loss of human life would be virtually instantaneous and measured in the millions." |
| Posted: 18 Jun 2010 06:00 PM PDT Iran's nuclear program has become the centerpiece of global security discussions for the last 10 years. It is a main sticking point in the relationship between Iran — a key regional player — and western countries, and it has acquired oversized significance in the international war against extremism. Despite Obama's promise for change, and greater emphasis on multilateralism and diplomacy, the specter of military confrontation between Iran on the one hand and either Israel or the United States on the other persistently looms over the horizon, even though the probability remains low. Far from encouraging dialogue and peaceful resolution of the nuclear issue, the recently passed UN resolution against Iran might in fact precipitate a new dangerous round of defiance and confrontation between the west and Iran. |
| News Flash! Israel has been wiped off the face of the Earth! Posted: 18 Jun 2010 05:38 PM PDT UPI – Reuters – AP – BBC and dozens of other news agencies reported that as of 0500 hours GMT yesterday – Israel no longer exists. Apparently a combined unilateral attack of over a dozen allied nations using high tech mini-nuke clean bombs leveled every city in Israel after a massive bomb destroyed the Dimona nuclear complex. The surgical precision with which the ordnance was delivered prevented any major damage to neighboring Palestinian cities. A further warning was issued to American Zionist supporters that should there be any further hostilities perpetrated by Imperialist America – there would be a heavy price to pay. |

| On the Social Construction of Race Posted: 18 Jun 2010 12:14 PM PDT "Race is just a social construction." We've all heard that refrain touted in textbooks, in the mainstream media, and by little vigilantes with fresh Bachelor's degrees in anthropology, sociology, Africana Studies, or some other field which served to make them experts in little other than racial equality. In fact, we've heard that allegation so often that we've become reflexively defensive toward it. But in this article I would like to seriously treat that claim, to explore its significance in modern discourse on race and racial difference. When individuals from the left assert that race is a social construct, what kind of argument are they making? What is the actual intellectual product of that statement? |
| Posted: 18 Jun 2010 12:13 PM PDT "You Israeli should never become lenient if you would kill your enemies. You shall have no pity on them until you shall have destroyed all their so-called Arab culture, on the ruins of which we shall build our own civilization." Menachin Begin, October 28, 1956. Gone are those day – when Hillel Halkin, a NY-born Jew turned Israeli journalist boasted in New York's FORWARD (January 28, 1994), the oldest Jewish newspaper, "When Kemal Ataturk Recited Shema Yisrael: It's My Secret Prayer Too, He Confessed". When General Kemal Attaturk died in 1938, another Crypto-Jew, Ismet Inonu came to power. Under his orders, the Turkish ambassador in Paris issued visas to save 100,000 European Jews – Read here and here. |

| Posted: 18 Jun 2010 08:19 AM PDT What the foreign media misses in covering China's labor unrest. Since mid May, Chinese factory workers from several Honda plants in southern China have gone on strike, calling for higher wages, better working conditions, and, according to some accounts, the right to form their own independent labor unions. The first work stoppage was a May 17 walkout by roughly 1,800 workers at a Honda parts plant in the city of Foshan; another began in early June and involves employees at a factory in Zhongshan that makes locks for the auto company. This week, another Honda supplier in Zhongshan shut down operations after workers went on strike for higher wages. Both Foshan and Zhongshan are in southern Guangdong province, a manufacturing hub and magnet for rural migrants across China seeking a better quality of life. |

| Posted: 18 Jun 2010 06:13 AM PDT As the economic collapse progresses through 2010 and its fiscal consequences become more certain, the field of view reaching towards our social and political future has become more vague and unclear. Every analyst or researcher of the New World Order and the global elite now seems to have a different insight into how our situation will develop once the financial implosion peaks, and people actually start to react to the obviously severe circumstances. While having a microphone in the middle of the annual Bilderberg conference in would surely clarify the details of exactly how the globalists plan to conduct themselves over the coming year, this is unfortunately not an option, and reports leaked from Bilderberg cannot always be taken at face value. One element nearly all of us can agree on, though, is the distinct possibility of expanded wars in the near term, used as a diversion by the elites to pull the focus of the masses away from their dire economic atmosphere, away from the bankers that created the meltdown, and towards an overseas adversary. |
| This Week at War: What Iran Learned from Saddam Posted: 18 Jun 2010 06:02 AM PDT
On June 9 the U.N. Security Council approved Resolution 1929 which imposes further sanctions on Iran for its lack of cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). U.S. officials hope that the resolution, combined with follow-on sanctions imposed by the European Union and others, will encourage Iran to fully cooperate with the inspections or return to negotiations. Failing that, the White House hopes that the new sanctions -- which target Iran's nuclear program, its ballistic missile effort, and its conventional military forces -- will disrupt and delay the country's nuclear and conventional military potential. |
| Friday: 46 Iraqis Killed, 114 Wounded Posted: 18 Jun 2010 05:17 AM PDT At least 46 Iraqis were killed and 114 were wounded in a series of significant attacks across the country. Most casualties were from two bombings north of Baghdad, but some smaller attacks were striking in their savagery. Meanwhile, the United Nations is investigating claims that Iraqi asylum seekers were mistreated before being deported back to Iraq, where the refugee problem remains discouraging. Senior Shi'ite cleric Abdul-Mahdi al-Kerbalai, who is a spokesman for Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, expressed his concerns that a new government has yet to be formed. Many believe Al-Sistani could be the kingmaker in this disputed election. The process could take several months even though the new parliament has already met. Former Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi warned that the destabilizing deadlock is making it impossible to respond to foreign threats and incursions, such as recent ones by Turkish and Iranian troops. |
| "Holocaust denier" found dead in parking lot Posted: 18 Jun 2010 04:35 AM PDT The body of a former Polish history professor, Dariusz Ratajczak, convicted by a Polish court in 2002 of claiming that mass gassings of human beings in Auschwitz-Birkenau was impossible, has been found dead in a shopping center parking lot in the western Polish city of Opole.Prof. Ratajczak was suspended in April 1999 from his teaching post at Opole University's Historical Institute after state prosecutors opened an investigation into the publication of his book Tematy niebezpieczne ("Dangerous Themes"). |
| Posted: 18 Jun 2010 04:19 AM PDT Apart from the usual pleasantries and reiteration of platitudes, the latest visit to Washington by Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas seems to have failed to stir the waters in the American capital.Abbas pleaded with President Obama to pressure Israel to show more seriousness in the current proximity -- or indirect -- talks with the Palestinians. However, Obama responded by merely reasserting his general commitment to the creation of a viable and territorially contiguous Palestinian state. |

Here's how the White House can earn an easy win next week. On June 24, U.S. President Barack Obama will welcome his counterpart, Dmitry Medvedev, to the White House. If there's one thing that the two presidents must accomplish, on an issue that has fallen off most observers' radar screens amid all the nuclear diplomacy and talk of "resetting" relations between Washington and Moscow, it's Russia's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) -- a potential game changer for the country's economy and foreign policy. |
| Posted: 18 Jun 2010 02:39 AM PDT he propagandists for the Israel Lobby, who occupy the Wall Street Journal editorial page while pretending to be journalists, are determined to remove Helen Thomas from the annals of journalism. In case you have already forgotten, a few days ago the distinguished career of Helen Thomas, the 89-year-old doyen of the White House Press Corps, was ended by the Israel Lobby, which made an issue about her opinion that immigrant Jews should leave Palestine and go back to their home countries. |

You see pictures of people wearing regular clothes who are wading in and scooping oil off the water. Hundreds, maybe thousands of people, are going to get sick unnecessarily. |
| Hiroshima: Breaking the Silence Posted: 18 Jun 2010 12:58 AM PDT In January 2010, Howard Zinn passed away at the age of 87. His new book, The Bomb, will soon be published in the U.S. by City Lights Books. The Japanese edition will be published simultaneously by Iwanami Publishing House. This small book consists of two chapters – Chapter One, "Hiroshima: Breaking the Silence" and Chapter Two, "The Bombing of Royan." The texts of both chapters, which have previously been published separately elsewhere, are now combined in one book with a new introduction by the author. In Chapter One, which is excerpted here, Zinn lucidly analyzes the causes of the Pacific War and deals with important issues related to responsibility for the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in a comprehensive yet concise manner. In Chapter Two, he describes the tragic consequences of the unnecessary bombing mission over Royan, a small French coastal town, conducted by U.S. Forces only a few weeks before the end of World War II in Europe, a mission in which Zinn himself participated as a bombardier. Zinn passed away without seeing a final published copy of this compelling book, with its profound criticism of the inhumanity of indiscriminate bombing. |

| Now is not the time to scapegoat Israelis who are critical of Israel Posted: 17 Jun 2010 09:48 PM PDT It is perhaps understandable that many seek a person or organization on whom blame can be placed, so that they may be sent into the political wilderness, cast out of the community, no longer allowed to contribute to the conversation. Understandable, perhaps, but woefully mistaken. In the aftermath of the flotilla incident off Gaza, Israelis and supporters of Israel are even more anxious and apprehensive than usual - worried about the implications of those events, and searching for the best way forward. |
| Posted: 17 Jun 2010 09:10 PM PDT The economy has been plagued with extremely high unemployment for over a year. There has been a relentless stream of bad economic news: closures of companies like Saturn and Mercury, the continued drain on the economy from the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan and the crushing burden from 20 million illegal aliens. If we deported these 20 million illegals at the first sign of trouble in 2007, there might have been a chance the economy would recover, but as usual the two party system won't do anything to fix the most serious problems facing us. The United States of America is now headed for a full-blown Depression, and it's getting closer by the month.

| Posted: 17 Jun 2010 08:43 PM PDT It is natural that foreign policy makers have questions about Israel's stubbornness in the nuclear realm. The final document adopted by last month's Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty review conference includes a call for "practical steps" to establish a weapons-of-mass-destruction-free zone in the Middle East. In this context, it mentions Israel by name, an unprecedented move that elicited - as expected - substantial anger in Israel. From Israel's point of view, and in light of the fact that the case of Iran is not discussed at all in the 31-page document, the resolution on the Middle East was "deeply flawed and hypocritical." |
| Thinking out of the (blue ) box Posted: 17 Jun 2010 08:43 PM PDT How might a 21st-century Jewish Agency refresh the blue box? How might it harness the agency of Jews globally to refresh the Jewish people and the world at large? The final decades of the 19th century saw the birth of three enduring institutions. In 1881, in Washington, D.C., teacher and government clerk Clara Barton established the American Red Cross. Eight years later, in New Bern, North Carolina, pharmacist Caleb Bradham introduced "Brad's Drink," the syrupy soda that became Pepsi-Cola. And in Basel, Switzerland, in 1897, journalist Theodor Herzl chaired the First Zionist Congress, which spawned the Jewish National Fund (in 1901 ), which subsequently established the Jewish Agency for Palestine (in 1929 ), known since 1948 as the Jewish Agency for Israel. |
| Execution In Utah Highlights Need To Abolish Death Penalty, Says ACLU Posted: 17 Jun 2010 04:00 PM PDT The execution of Ronnie Lee Gardner, who was put to death by firing squad early Friday, highlights the inhumanity and inequity of the death penalty system in the United States, according to the American Civil Liberties Union. The execution of Gardner, who was strapped into a chair, had a hood placed over his head and a small white target pinned over his heart before five anonymous men fired at him with identical .30 caliber rifles, was the third death sentence carried out by firing squad since 1976, and the first since 1996. |

Junaid: People of Kandahar caught between US army and Taliban; will not support US offensive
The remarks were not made in anger or haste, as were the now infamous, flippant and ill-conceived comments that cost White House reporter Helen Thomas her job, if not her legacy. Instead, they were made quite deliberately, with an air of thoughtfulness, while leaning over a lectern, as if lecturing to a class.
The US is experiencing a fundamental shift in the economy and is literally handing over the mantle of economic leadership to China, believes Chief Market Economist Michael Norman, of John Thomas Financial. He also said that the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico will definitely speed up the process towards cleaner fuels, alternative energy and renewable sources of energy.

Ten years ago Smith argued that Palestinians might consider non-violent protest against Israeli injustice and brutality. Here he suggests that the Gaza Flotilla demonstrates the benefits of that approach.
Kim Il-Sung, the founding president of the People's Democratic Republic of Korea, stands with his eldest son, current North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il, at a Pyongyang soccer field in 1992. Long before his own death in 1994, the elder Kim named Jong-Il as his successor; the regime even whipped up a creation myth for him, officially changing his place of birth from an obscure outpost in the Soviet Union to an anti-Japanese guerrilla camp on top of a mountain. The son has returned the favor, building a seemingly endless array of monuments to his father, and ordering North Koreans to pay homage to them on his birthday each year.
The body of a former Polish history professor, Dariusz Ratajczak, convicted by a Polish court in 2002 of claiming that mass gassings of human beings in Auschwitz-Birkenau was impossible, has been found dead in a shopping center parking lot in the western Polish city of Opole.

Well, that didn't take long. Turkey's involvement in the flotilla and its support for the Palestinians has now made it an enemy of the Israel Lobby with all that that entails. All in all, it's a good example of Jewish power and moral particularism. After long opposing any resolution on the Turkey's genocide of Armenians, Rep. Howard Berman, a major force for Israel in the US Congress,
Alex talks with Bruno Bruhweiler, the We Are Change LA organizer who was charged with making a terrorist threat for facial expressions a judge considered inappropriate during a civil hearing for another WACLA member. WeAreChangeLA's lead organizer Bruno Bruhwiler is being targeted as a terrorist threat. It all began when Bruno was sitting in the audience at a civil hearing for another WACLA member. The Judge literally did not like Bruno's involuntary facial expressions, and ordered him out of the courtroom. He was detained in the hall after asking to see the officers' ID cards before he left the building. They are required according to their own manual to provide ID upon request, but apparently don't like to be asked for it. When the supervising officer ordered Bruno to turn around and put his hands behind his back, Bruno instantly turned around and put his hands behind his back with absolutely no resistance. At first he was supposedly being detained for trespassing (which is a misdemeanor) but of course, you can't trespass on public property so then they dropped trespassing and told him he was being detained for a public disturbance. About an hour later, when the supervisor actually placed Bruno under arrest, the original charge was changed to misdemeanor contempt of court. None of the witnesses present heard the judge mention anything about contempt when asking him to leave.
