Take the Money and Run

Posted: 19 Apr 2010 11:29 AM PDT

We Westerners really do live in a Jewish world. Jewish control of the media is undeniable, as I've written about for years. One area that remains under-treated is the one most people still associate with Jews—and not always kindly: financial matters. Whether a Jewish group evolutionary strategy is responsible for their outsized success with money, whether it is because Jews are "the synagogue of Satan," as St. John's gospel famously quoted Jesus as saying, or whether it is some other factor, at the end of the day Jewish temporal power comes down to money. And Jews have a lot of it.

The day when the Americans took over was warm and sunny. Hitler's gaudy banners and flags had long since disappeared, and white bed sheets hung from every window in case someone might be in doubt and continue the carnage. We were again in the cellar, and my mother held me tight, and I saw olive-green legs in strange boots passing stealthily along the narrow window. Then they were in the house. My mother called something in English, which surprised me because I thought her only foreign language was French. A soldier with a funny round helmet appeared and pointed a gun at us. But my mother said something again, and the soldier only nodded and winked an eye at me. They left soon afterwards, taking my fathers ceremonial dagger and sabre along, plus a wooden target board that showed a hand-painted wild boar whom he had smacked right between the eyes and so won the competition.

Faux-Conservative Jews

Posted: 19 Apr 2010 11:08 AM PDT

We Whites are in an increasingly perilous situation. More and more of our lives are at risk as the White percentage of the population declines worldwide. As Kevin MacDonald recently wrote about Anti-White Violence in South Africa, "A constant theme on this website is that Whites living in societies run by non-Whites are in physical danger. From the aftermath of the Bolshevik Revolution to contemporary Africa, the lesson is the same: Loss of political power means murder and mayhem directed against Whites by minorities with deep historical grudges."

But unfortunately, that's not how things have been working, and very little that the government does is actually authorized by the constitution. And, this is a problem that didn't just start in January 2009 – it's been going on a long, long time.

The Two-Guantanamo Solution

Posted: 18 Apr 2010 11:00 PM PDT

tom engelhardt It all began in Afghanistan (the War on Terror, of course). It was there as well that, in late 2001, the Bush administration first "took the gloves off," a phrase its top officials then loved to use. So the first torture and abuse of prisoners, including the use of dogs to intimidate, took place there and only then migrated to Guantanamo in Cuba and Abu Ghraib in Iraq. By 2004, the U.S. was already operating approximately two dozen off-the-grid prisons in Afghanistan and a report in the British Guardian could speak of the U.S. prison system there as "the hub of a global network of detention centers." It included a notorious CIA-run secret Afghan prison nicknamed "the Salt Pit." The first killing of prisoners by Americans occurred at our prison at Bagram Air Base, the huge former Soviet base that became a focus of American military activities. One of the nastier spots on the planet for many years, Bagram was, as Karen Greenberg, author of The Least Worst Place, Guantanamo's First 100 Days, has termed it, "the missing prison" (at a time when all attention was focused on Guantanamo). It remains George W. Bush's unmentioned living legacy to Barack Obama.

And the 'Shoah' debate continues….

Posted: 18 Apr 2010 07:36 PM PDT

– except in case of "Shoah (Holocaust), which Israeli Professor Yeshyahu Leibowictz has defined as the "New Jewish Religion". As far as I know – No one rational person has ever doubted that both Christian and Jew Nazi soldiers did carry a grand genocide of Jewish people along with Gypsies and Christians. However, what some scholars do question is the 'divine figure' of Six Million Jews killed and some of means used to kill them.

On April 16, 2010 – A German court found British Catholic Bishop Richard Williamson on the charge of denying the Zionist narrative of the Jewish genocide (Shoah) by Nazis. The Bishop was lucky, the court ordered him to pay US$13,544 for using his "freedom of press" right during an interview in which he commented that no more than 200,000 to 300,000 Jews were killed by Nazis (watch the video below). French philosopher Roger Garaudy was fined US$40,000 in 1998 for questioning Zionists' narrative of the Shoah (maybe, he happens to be a convert to Islam!).

RonPaul2 Normally, a septuagenarian obstetrician with a penchant for lengthy disquisitions on monetary policy would not seem a promising presidential candidate. And in 2008, Ron Paul raised millions of dollars and galvanized thousands of passionate supporters but failed to win a single Republican primary or caucus.

The evidence is nevertheless mounting that the quirky libertarian-leaning congressman from Texas should make another go at it in 2012. Paul came within one vote of besting former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference (SRLC) straw poll. This strong showing came despite reports from the Daily Caller that Paul backers experienced difficulties registering for the conference or voting in its nonbinding poll.

The Muezzin of the Blue Mosque

Posted: 18 Apr 2010 12:42 PM PDT

A local legend says that after Ali, Prophet Mohammed's son-in-law, was struck down by a poison arrow during a Ramadan prayer south of Baghdad, his disciples tied his body to the back of a she-camel and sent it east to prevent his enemies from desecrating his remains. (Iraqi Muslims dispute this story, saying that Ali's body never left Iraq, where, they insist, it is buried in the holy Shiite city of Najaf.) After a 1,300-mile trek through modern-day Iraq and Iran, the camel -- the story continues -- finally collapsed of fatigue and thirst in what today is the blue heart of Mazar-e-Sharif, and Ali was interred here, giving the city its name: "Mazar-e-sharif" means "tomb of the saint" in Farsi. The double-domed mosque, tiled in kaleidoscopic patterns of cobalt, ocher, white, and turquoise, went up in the 15th century; 10,000 white pigeons are said to roost among its arches and columns.

Ramzy Baroud has written what should become an icon of historical-cultural writing for the people of Palestine. My Father Was a Freedom Fighter is an amazingly powerful and wonderfully well written tapestry of the modern history of Palestine, combining a family history focussed on the individual of Ramzy's father Mohammed with the overall history of the Jewish-Zionist/Palestinian-Arabic conflict in the area. The latter evolves at two levels: the first as was most visibly seen and understood by Mohammed Ramzy; the second encompasses the larger view of the 'near' Middle East as revealed by historical records.

You really have to wonder what's going on when a bunch of White guys carrying Nazi banners decides to hold a protest on the lawn of the LA City Hall. The LA Times article mentions "a bare-chested middle-aged man with Nazi insignias tattooed on his chest and back." The counter-protesters beat the hell out of him.

'Dehumanizing, part of US training'

Posted: 18 Apr 2010 09:50 AM PDT

A former US Army specialist, who was part of the same unit that killed Iraqi civilians from a helicopter in 2007, says dehumanizing is part of basic US army training.

In an interview with Press TV, Josh Steiber explained the three years he spent in the US Army before he asked to be released as a conscientious objector.

Multivitamins bad for pregnant moms

Posted: 18 Apr 2010 09:43 AM PDT

Despite the general belief, taking multivitamin supplements late in pregnancy can place expectant mothers at an increased risk of premature labor.

Previous studies had pointed out the beneficial effects of the over-the-counter prenatal supplements for mums-to-be particularly those living in developing countries.

Edmund Connelly on Faux Conservatives

Posted: 18 Apr 2010 09:20 AM PDT

Edmund Connelly's current TOO article explores the topic of faux conservatives. Particularly interesting is Michael Savage's question "Who assaulted the White race? Who set out to destroy the White people?" This is a huge improvement on other MSM conservatives. I have never heard anything like that from the likes of Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, or your average neocon. Even if his analysis of why this happened is puerile (although it does finger some prominent Jewish names in the 1960s counterculture), just having his audience think in those terms is a breakthrough. Listeners inevitably get the message that the White race is under attack and likely to go extinct in the foreseeable future. He inserts a gloomy report on White birthrates in Europe that concludes that it would take decades for Whites to get back on track demographically.

You're a "Fascist" if...

(Left, "Fascists")

You're a fascist if:

1. You believe in God, and a moral and spiritual order.

2. You believe in democracy.

3. You believe your country should retain its racial character and not be inundated by immigrants so that it becomes unrecognizable. You believe that if Israel can enact laws to protect its racial character, so can North America, Europe and Australia.

Teaching Congress Shit from Shinola

You know it must be tough being a member of either chamber in the US Knesset. You know how Muslims are supposed to pray five times a day? That's nothing compared to what your Knesset "representatives" (and I use that term loosely) have to do. Secret Mantiqiyyan sources have learned that all members of the either the Senate-Knesset and the House-Knesset have to actually kiss the ass of an AIPAC lobbiest morning, noon and evening. Then they have to write letters to the executive branch – sorry, did I say "write" letters, ha! These Knesset members don't know shit from shinola about the Middle East. All they have to do is "sign" the letters no doubt crafted for them by the Israeli Lobby. This week, the "representatives" who you people of "a different and completely inferior order" – to use the sacred words of the founder of Chabad Lubavitch ((pronounced "Alan Derwoshitz") when describing "YOU" and yes I mean "YOU", sent not one, not two, but three letters to the executive branch in which they take the side of a foreign nation against the United States. You get one guess as to which nation that is.

There's A World of Pain Ahead

Posted: 18 Apr 2010 08:33 AM PDT

ny times The brief period of stabilization in housing appears to be over and the next leg-down has begun. Mortgage rates are edging higher, foreclosures are on the rise, and the government programs that supported the sector, are being phased out. The uptick in bank-owned properties (REO) is adding to surplus inventory and pushing down prices. A recently released report from First American CoreLogic shows that "distressed sales accounted for 29 per cent of all sales nationwide." Nearly one-third of all home sales are distressed REOs. Also, according to a report from Clear Capital, "Home prices nationally have dropped 3.9 percent quarter to quarter, the first quarterly drop in nine months. (Thanks to Diana Olick, Realty Check, CNBC) Bottom line: More people are being forced from their homes, the banks are facing bigger losses, and the housing market is on the skids.

Transhumanism, PsyWar and B.E.P.'s "Imma Be"

Transhumanism is the name of a movement that claims to support the use of all forms of technology to improve human beings. It is far more than just a bunch of harmless and misguided techie nerds, dreaming of sci-fi movies and making robots.

It is a highly organized and well financed movement that is extremely focused on subverting and replacing every aspect of what we are as human beings – including our physical biology, the individuality of our minds and purposes of our lives – and the replacement of all existing religious and spiritual beliefs with a new religion of their own – which is actually not new at all.

Israelis and Gays – birds of a feather

I am also overjoyed that others find them hot and sexual and have gotten so much pleasure from watching these studs". The movie received hot reviews from most of the Jewish-owned mainstream US media, such as the Las Angeles Times, Newsweek, The New York Press and Chelsea Lately.

Crocodile Tears on Wall Street

Posted: 18 Apr 2010 06:02 AM PDT

With all due respect, we can only wish those Tea Party activists who gathered in Washington and other cities this week weren't so single-minded about just who's responsible for all their troubles, real and imagined. They're up in arms, so to speak, against Big Government, especially the Obama administration.

If they thought this through, they'd be joining forces with other grassroots Americans who in the coming weeks will be demonstrating in Washington and other cities against High Finance, taking on Wall Street and the country's biggest banks.
