Interview with Philip Giraldi: Israel's policies are manifestly evil Posted: 15 Oct 2010 06:37 AM PDT Philip Giraldi is a former counter-terrorism specialist and military intelligence officer of the United States Central Intelligence Agency. Now, he chairs the Council for the National Interest as the Executive Director. CNI is a nonprofit organization that advocates for the transformation of United States' Middle East policy. As a CIA officer, Giraldi served in different countries including Turkey, Italy, Germany and Spain. He is now a Francis Walsingham Fellow at The American Conservative Defense Alliance.

Proven: Mercury-laced vaccinations cause autism Posted: 15 Oct 2010 05:58 AM PDT Children of the current generation receive 24 mandatory vaccinations. A generation ago, only 10 or less were called for. Through vaccinations, children receive 400x the amount of mercury deemed safe by the FDA. The Hep B routinely given to newborns contains so much mercury preservative that it would normally only be considered safe under standard medical guidelines to give to a 275 pound adult.

Survey: Obama loses Jewish confidence on Iran Posted: 14 Oct 2010 06:41 PM PDT I don't know about you, but I really feel sorry for Ben Obama. The more the poor chap stoops to curry favor from the Jewish Lobby the more the Lobby show its contempt for Ben Obama to extract more submission to Israel. The results of a survey conducted the by American Jewish Committee (AJC) released on October 12, 2010 – show that the American Jews who alongwith the Afro-Americans, voted-in Ben Obama into the White House – are losing their confidence in him over his policies toward the Islamic Republic.

A time to hate Posted: 14 Oct 2010 05:43 PM PDT Underneath everything is hatred - hatred and contempt for Arabs. The ideology of the right has been dead for some time, nothing of its former glory remains; primeval emotions are now its true driving force. This is what is behind the right wing's nationalist laws and its so-called "peace." Lurking beneath all the unpretty words are not just political considerations, but a lack of any systematic ideas - only dark and dangerous instincts.

The right needs perpetual war Posted: 14 Oct 2010 05:43 PM PDT The facts must be acknowledged: The heads of the rightist parties have a strategic outlook and the ability to take the long view, and they also know how to choose the right tools to carry out their mission. The proposed new amendment to the Citizenship Law, which is aimed at fomenting a state of constant hostility between Jews and everyone else, is just one aspect of the greater plan of which Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman is the official spokesman. The other aspect is the foreign minister's promise to the nations of the world that our war with the Palestinians is an eternal war. Israel needs both an external and an internal enemy, a constant sense of emergency - because peace, whether with the Palestinians in the territories or the Palestinians in Israel, is liable to weaken it to the point of existential danger.

Did Ahmadinejad visit to Lebanon help or hurt Hezbollah? Posted: 14 Oct 2010 05:43 PM PDT Despite the celebrations, the emotional speeches and the tens of thousands of people who came to see Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the southern Lebanon town of Bint Jbail yesterday, it is far from clear whether his visit helped or hurt his Hezbollah proxy. On the second day of his visit to Lebanon, Ahmadinejad came to within several kilometers of the Israeli border and once again called for the destruction of the "Zionist entity." But to some extent, he thereby violated the Lebanese status quo.

Israel on Red Alert – Ahmadinejad in South Posted: 14 Oct 2010 05:21 PM PDT Iranian President Dr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit to South Lebanon, the Hizbullah territory, has scared the hell out of the Zionist regime so much that it has stationed additional Israel Occupation Force (IOF) along the South Lebanon bordering Jewish settlements on land stolen from the Native Muslim and Christian Palestinians. Ahmadinejad addressing a large gathering in Southern town of Bint Jbeil which witnessed fierce battles between Hizbullah freedom-fighters and the world's fourth strongest army (IOF) during July 2006 in which Hizbullah came out victorious – he said: "Hizbullah fighters are heroes that guards Lebanon's sovereignty. You have proven that no force in the world can beat you. The Resistance of Lebanese nation – born from faith in Allah, can stand up to any Israeli force – planes, tanks and ships. The Zionists planned to destroy this village, but it stood strong against the occupiers. The whole world should know that the Zionists (regime) will eventually disappear and Bint Jbeil will remain alive".

Putting Wolves in Wheelchairs: Mohammed Awwad and His "Portraits of Fear" Posted: 14 Oct 2010 02:54 PM PDT Mohammed Awwad doesn't like the term "director." He says it's restricting, and Awwad is not a man easily restricted. If you spot him before a rehearsal, dancing in front of a room-width mirror to "Staying Alive" or showing an actress how loud she can shout, you see how difficult it is to keep him inside a room, much less a word.

Israel conducts population transfer training exercises Posted: 14 Oct 2010 02:48 PM PDT Israel secretly staged a training exercise last week to test its ability to quell any civil unrest that might result from a peace deal with the Palestinian Authority requiring the forcible transfer of many Palestinian Arab citizens, the Israeli media has reported. The drill was intended to evaluate the readiness of the civil defense units, police, army and prison service to contain large-scale riots by Israel's Palestinian Arab minority in response to such a deal.

Israel 'declares war on its people' Posted: 14 Oct 2010 10:59 AM PDT You could easily miss the thin, gravel road that leads to Al Arakib, a Bedouin village in the north Negev. It is a bit ironic, given the enormity of the struggle there and its deep implications for the Jewish state. Israeli forces have razed the village five times since late July, sparking cries of ethnic cleansing and leaving more than 300 Bedouin homeless. But the equally determined residents, along with a handful of Jewish activists, continue to rebuild.

PressTV-News Analysis-Americans Mistrust the Media Posted: 14 Oct 2010 10:43 AM PDT A fifty-three percentage of Americans mistrust the US media, the Gallop poll published in the USA Today newspaper shows. People say that the economical situation, unemployment, wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are not properly mentioned in the US media and the media mostly pay attention to celebrity news. The US media and the surrounding issues are discussed in this edition of News Analysis.

No to a third intifada Posted: 14 Oct 2010 10:06 AM PDT Whether or not a solution to the crisis over settlements is achieved in the coming days, it's becoming increasingly clear that the direct Israeli-Palestinian negotiations are in serious trouble. The Israeli daily Haaretz quoted unnamed Western officials as saying the talks are "going nowhere." And the most cautious, sober and measured of the senior PLO leadership, Yasser Abed Rabbo who is a member of the negotiating team, has been moved to declare that "there will be no serious political process with Netanyahu's government." Most reports strongly suggest that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been unforthcoming on permanent-status issues. According to these sources, Netanyahu refuses to meaningfully discuss core question such as borders and insists that security must be the main issue at this stage. This has led to frustration not only among the Palestinians and other Arabs, but in many circles in the West and the United States.

Survey: US Jews sceptical of Obama Posted: 14 Oct 2010 08:31 AM PDT US Jews, who, next to African Americans, have constituted the minority most supportive of Barack Obama, are growing more sceptical of his performance and increasingly hawkish on Iran, according to a new poll released Tuesday by the American Jewish Committee (AJC). The survey of 800 self-identified Jewish Americans, the latest in an annual series that stretches back more than a decade, also found a marked decline in confidence over Obama's handling of US-Israel relations compared to eight months ago when the AJC published its last poll.

MSNBC Teleprompter Reader Attempts to Ambush Ron Paul Posted: 14 Oct 2010 07:20 AM PDT It is yet another example of how the corporate media will lie and break agreements in order to accomplish its overarching mission — to denigrate and tear down any political candidate who will endeavor to break the stranglehold of mega-corporations and banks over the political life of the nation.

'Euro sheer lunacy, get national money back' Posted: 14 Oct 2010 07:12 AM PDT It is not the people of Germany but rather the political class, that wants to support the euro, said business consultant and author, Professor Max Otte. "The political class almost unanimously wants it supported. There are some dissidents, but it is part of the German reason of state that we are good Europeans, we are good citizens of the world," he said. "We forgot that Germany also has national interests of its own. Of course, we should cooperate. Of course, we should be good partners, but we do not have to do everything. The political class is firmly behind the euro, so in this case it does not matter what the population is thinking."

'US media-numbed, bankers pocket $144 billion bonus' Posted: 14 Oct 2010 07:11 AM PDT While millions of Americans are unemployed and the national debt is soaring, it seems top financial executives are far from feeling the pinch. A recent Wall Street Journal survey estimates they'll receive a staggering $144 billion dollars in compensation and benefits this year. This amount is equal to the US stimulus package approved by Congress in 2008. Trend forecaster Gerald Celente says Americans are failing to react to the payouts, because the financiers' fanbase in the mainstream media is distracting public opinion.

Launch of Norwegian Call for Cultural, Academic Boycott of Israel Posted: 14 Oct 2010 07:00 AM PDT A Norwegian petition calling for an institutional cultural and academic boycott of Israel (in line with the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel guidelines) has gathered 100 impressive signatories -- academics, writers, musicians, other cultural workers, and sports celebrities, including Egil "Drillo" Olsen, the coach of the Norwegian national soccer team.

Netanyahu's Jewish Republic of Israel Posted: 14 Oct 2010 06:30 AM PDT The Israeli Knesset (parliament) has started its latest session full of racism and hatred. It is scheduled to discuss a number of laws devoted to the country's supposed "Jewish identity". The first of these is the "citizenship law", which is backed by the Netanyahu government with the support of the majority of his ministers. It imposes a requirement upon everyone seeking or having Israeli citizenship "to pledge allegiance" to Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. This prompted Gideon Levy of Ha'aretz to publish an article entitled "The Jewish Republic of Israel" which, ironically, has a certain resonance with "Islamic Republic of Iran". Dan Meridor of Likud has described the proposed law as "harmful and excessive", having repercussions for Israel's reputation and prestige, in particular, he said, on its relationship with Israel's own Arab citizens who are the main targets of the law.

Unique welcome for Ahmadinejad in Lebanon Posted: 14 Oct 2010 06:19 AM PDT Today, Lebanese nation gave an unprecedented welcome to Iranian President Dr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. It reminds the world of Ahmadinejad's landmark visit to Baghdad on March 2, 2008 – which was a slap on the faces of the Western leaders who waged war on Iraq. Ahmadinejad's visit to Lebanon is also a slap on the faces of Washington, Tel Aviv, Paris, Riyadh and the pro-Western factions in the country. Hundreds of thousands of Lebanese lined the main highway into the capital from Beirut's airport. They were waving Lebanese and Iranian flags, and giant posters of Dr. Ahmadinejad towered over the road, while loudspeakers blasted anthems and women in the crowd sold Hezbollah flags and balloons to onlookers.

Are we equipping the Palestinians to tolerate the intolerable? Posted: 14 Oct 2010 05:00 AM PDT In his keynote address, UNRWA Commissioner General Filippo Grandi said that the UN agency he heads has moved from "relief-driven operations to education, health and community-based services; the choice – still unique among international organizations – to build a body of staff composed almost entirely of refugees, and to provide direct services to the people we serve". UNRWA, he added, is "neither only humanitarian nor typically developmental". It was inevitable that such statements were picked over in great detail by the participants. Even the conference title, referring to "human development", was deemed to be contentious.

Might the US be holding a fugitive Mossad agent in secret detention? Posted: 14 Oct 2010 05:00 AM PDT Eight months after the murder of the Hamas commander, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, in Dubai, two reports in the last few days present intriguingly contradictory pictures. First came a Wall Street Journal report on Friday with the headline, "In Global Hunt for Hit Men, Tantalizing Trail Goes Cold."

Deepening crisis Posted: 14 Oct 2010 04:18 AM PDT The bleak mood in Ramallah that preceded the Sirte Arab Summit in Libya became even more sombre as Palestinian Authority (PA) leader Mahmoud Abbas discovered that the Arab leaders whose help he was seeking were themselves helpless and could do next to nothing in terms of helping the Palestinians at this crucial juncture in their struggle. Having engaged in some acrimonious exchanges with Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad in Sirte, and with the Arab League failing miserably to take a decisive stand with regard to Israel's determination to steal additional Palestinian land, and in broad daylight, the Palestinian leader appeared in despair. A reliable source in Ramallah spoke of "a certain propensity" on the part of the PA leader "to go it alone".

The Israeli Knesset's Anti-Democratic Agenda Posted: 14 Oct 2010 02:45 AM PDT An earlier article discussed the Mossawa Center calling the current Knesset the most racist in history, accessed through the following link: http://sjlendman.blogspot.com/2010/04/alarming-racism-in-israel.html It reviewed 2008 and 2009 legislation violating Israeli Arab rights, Mossawa saying "almost every day" they're victimized by racist actions, and as a result, they face disruptive social, economic and cultural futures.

Nobel Politics Posted: 14 Oct 2010 02:42 AM PDT Since first awarded in 1901, Nobel Peace recognition went to 98 individuals and 23 organizations. Last year, another war criminal won, Barack Obama, one among many previous ones. Nearly always, politics, not merit, determines awards. Consider past winners, including Henry Kissinger, three Israeli war criminals (Shimon Peres, Yitzhak Rabin, and Menachem Begin), the Dalai Lama (a past and likely current CIA asset), Elie Wiesel (a hawkish Islamophobe), Kofi Annan (a reliable imperial stooge), and Al Gore, (another war criminal, neoliberal extremist, and no friend of the earth).

Danger of Israel's Racist Demands Posted: 14 Oct 2010 02:40 AM PDT Without any reason, the  Israeli government has created a totally artificial problem for all future persons wishing to get citizenship: they will have to pledge allegiance to Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. Once again, Israel is trying to push its internal problems and its hesitation to compromise for peace onto others.

A Question for the British Foreign Secretary Posted: 13 Oct 2010 10:32 PM PDT 'Mr Hague, is it not your responsibility to keep seaways open?' 'The unbroken thread of Conservative Party support for Israel that has run for nearly a century from the Balfour Declaration to the present day will continue. Although it will no doubt often be tested in the years ahead, it will remain constant, unbroken, and undiminished by the passage of time.' No prize for guessing which leading politician uttered these words.

The Main Question that Israel Misses Posted: 13 Oct 2010 10:21 PM PDT It is generally recognized that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), now a 100,000-member pro-Israeli lobbying group, has had an impressive record since the fifties in advocating pro-Israel policies mostly to Congress. But of late several key officials, all American Jews in sensitive government positions, have outpaced this lobbying group established in 1950. It may be a sign of their self-confidence that these officials are now publicly discussing the role of their colleagues in the ongoing conflict in the Middle East between Israel and the Palestinians, who have yet to establish their independent state in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip where they number about four million. (Israel's population totals a little over seven million including some 1.5 million Palestinian Arabs mostly in the Galilee region).

A Close Look at the Pro-Israeli Lobbies inside Britain Posted: 13 Oct 2010 10:14 PM PDT The US is considered by many as the backbone of Israel and the mother of many evils in Middle East. With the presence of various pro-Israeli lobbies and pressure groups rallying around the corridors of power in Washington to press their case, they have been highly successful not only in setting the agenda in favour of Israel, but also makes sure that the Palestine voice is not heard. Many believe that this is a typical phenomenon in Washington and hence an internal issue of the United States. But the pro-Israeli lobbies are a decisive factor in most European countries and its influence is felt manifold in Britain. These pro-Israeli lobbies are a coalition of wealthy individuals and organizations who actively work to shape British foreign policy in a pro-Israeli direction. Though the percentage of British Jews who wholeheartedly support the pro-Israeli lobby in very minimal, they have been highly successful in portraying their cause to be of great concern to the majority of the Jewish community. The lobbies has got great influence and access to all major parties including the Labour and Conservative to the extent that they shape the foreign policy the United Kingdom, much as their counterparts in the United States.

The man behind Avigdor Lieberman Posted: 13 Oct 2010 06:35 PM PDT The Netanyahu government is directing its main efforts at repressing the political aspirations of the Arab community in Israel. The energy the government is investing toward that goal is greater than what it invests in the peace process or in thwarting the Iranian nuclear threat. This effort, on multiple fronts, expresses itself in legislative initiatives, changes in the education system, symbolic acts and diplomatic moves whose goal is to shore up Israel's Jewish identity, with the Arab minority required to surrender its demand for a more egalitarian democracy.

Evident discrimination in the psychometric exam Posted: 13 Oct 2010 06:29 PM PDT   A 2009 report issued by Israel's National Institute for Testing and Evaluation reveals a gap of more than 100 points between Jews and Arabs on the psychometric exam used in college admissions, with the latter group lagging behind. This huge gap is consistent with international studies that have repeatedly found differences in results among ethnic groups on such examinations. In the United States, for instance, there has been a long-standing gap in GRE and SAT exam results between whites and African-Americans.

Helen Thomas: 'U can't criticize Israel in the US' Posted: 13 Oct 2010 01:55 PM PDT Remember Helen Thomas, the former White House reporter for over five decades, who had the gutts to tell the Jewish settlers "to get the Hell out of Palestine and return to their native western countries – was recently interviewed by Scott Spears on WMRN-AM. She told Scott that the Zionist Rabbi David Nesenoff distorted her response to him on May 27, 2010. She said she was not talking about Auschwitz or anything else (the Zionists' narratives of Nazi camps have still to be proven in a court of law as yet). "They distorted my remarks, which they obviously have to do for their own propaganda purposes, otherwise people might wonder why they continue to take Palestinian land (if they're victims of Nazis in Europe)," said Thomas.

Time for New Palestinian Political Strategy Posted: 13 Oct 2010 01:21 PM PDT Palestinians had long lost confidence in their Palestinian Authority as their representative, who was supposed to defend their rights and work to achieve their statehood. Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian President, was imposed on the Palestinians in the 2005 election when the Israeli forces had arrested and restricted the movements of other Palestinian candidates and his campaign was given 94% of TV coverage. Although his presidency had expired in January of 2009 he is still, illegally and unconstitutionally, occupying his position. Polls had shown that his popularity is very low. Palestinian Prime Minister, Salam Fayyad, and his government were also imposed on Palestinians when Abbas appointed him to the position after the democratically elected Hamas government foiled an American coup d'état that eventually caused a division between the Palestinians.

Ten years later, no justice for October 2000 killings Posted: 13 Oct 2010 12:11 PM PDT It has been ten years since 13 Palestinian citizens of Israel were killed by the Israeli police force during nonviolent demonstrations at the outset of the second Palestinian intifada. And while the victims' families haven't stopped demanding accountability and justice for their loved ones, a frightening realization is taking shape: in today's Israel, what happened in October 2000 could easily happen again, if not worse.

Will the OECD stand up to Israel? Posted: 13 Oct 2010 11:30 AM PDT What can be said for the state of international law when international organizations such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) find themselves unable to prevent a member country from bringing its unlawful practice into the life of the organization itself? In such situations, how can law-abiding member countries avoid being drawn into acquiescence? Later this month, these questions may find answers when Israel hosts an OECD gathering in Jerusalem to discuss global tourism. The OECD is an international economic organization of 33 countries, with the latest controversial addition to this club being Israel. The OECD explains its mission as providing "a setting where governments compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice and coordinate domestic and international policies." At minimum, one would expect the coordination of these "international policies" to remain within the bounds of international law.

Head of Investigator in Falcon Lake Case Delivered to Mexican Military Posted: 13 Oct 2010 11:03 AM PDT According to CNN, the severed head of the lead investigator in the Falcon Lake murder case, Rolando Armando Flores Villegas, was delivered to the Mexican military in a suitcase. "His head was delivered to the army garrison this morning in a suitcase after he failed to report back home last night," Zapata County, Texas, Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez Jr. said.

Boston University's Islamophobic Pro-Israeli Conference Posted: 13 Oct 2010 08:53 AM PDT A personal note. I grew up in Boston from the mid-1930s - mid-1950s through college. Then after military service and summer courses at BU, out-of-town grad school followed in the fall. It was a different time, good and bad. Eisenhower was still president. Unemployment was low. Anyone wanting work found it. Most years the economy grew during a post-WW II expansion. Inflation was low. The average new car cost $1,500, a typical home under $10,000. College was affordable. Harvard's 1952 full year tuition was $600. Four years later it was $1,000 - for a full, two-semester year. During the period, anyone could attend evenings at $5 a course and get a Harvard degree for about $175, the way my mother did it, graduating with me in the same class, the first ever mother and son to do it.

An education in inequality Posted: 13 Oct 2010 05:44 AM PDT Expressing his support for the controversial loyalty oath bill - legislation that will require non-Jews to pledge allegiance to Israel "as a Jewish and democratic state" - Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, remarked: "Zionism established an exemplary national state, a state that balances between the national needs of our people and the individual rights of every citizen in the country." But a look at the Israeli education system offers a very different picture.

Headlines twist Netanyahu's devious diplomatic games Posted: 13 Oct 2010 03:40 AM PDT The BBC is often accused of bias when it comes to the way it reports on the Middle East conflict; Zionists say that it is anti-Israel, while pro-Palestinians say that the BBC's coverage favours Israel. Consider, though, the headline on an article which gives details of the Palestinians' refusal to acknowledge Israel as a "Jewish state" in return for which the Israeli Prime Minister would "convene" his cabinet to consider a freeze on settlement building in the occupied West Bank. The headline states, "Palestinians reject Israeli offer on settlement freeze". This clearly gives the impression that the Palestinian negotiators, who have been insisting on a settlement freeze, have "rejected" a reasonable Israeli offer. The Daily Telegraph makes no secret of its pro-Israel stance; its use of a similar headline ("Palestinians reject Israel settlement compromise") is, therefore, no surprise.

A new balance of power at the UN? Posted: 13 Oct 2010 03:20 AM PDT The UN Security Council has long been criticised as an outdated institution which does not reflect the realities of the modern world. But the five countries that have won non-permanent seats on the council give it a complexion far more in keeping with the global order of the 21st century. Critics have argued the Security Council's structure of five permanant veto-wielding members - the US, UK, France, China and Russia - together with 10 non-permanent members, has concentrated influence in the hands of a small number of countries who were powerful when the body was created in the aftermath of the second world war.

Whoever sabotages the negotiations must be considering war Posted: 13 Oct 2010 03:00 AM PDT The Arab kings and presidents whose latest summit was in Sirte had a very complex political situation on the agenda, requiring political decisions of a particularly complex kind. Given the nature of the issue in question, it is pertinent to ask if the rulers were prepared for such decisions. For nearly twenty years since the Madrid Conference in late 1991, leaders in the Arab world have taken political decisions relating to negotiations with Israel, considering peace as the preferred strategic option. As such, the agenda of all Arab summits was agreed in advance, regardless of the inter-Arab differences raised; it was possible to guess the direction of summit outcomes. However, the current political situation suggests that a new political era has dawned, one that calls for political decisions following a different set of ground-rules. Israel now insists on entering into negotiations without any terms of reference whatsoever; on borders, for example, it refuses to consider the 1967 "Green Line" as a basis for discussions; it refuses to halt settlement activity and it looks at the city of Jerusalem with Judaisation in mind. This has flummoxed Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who had insisted that he would never participate in direct negotiations unless Israel took the decision to halt settlement activity.

Netanyahu, Barak and Lieberman are turning Israel into a ghetto Posted: 12 Oct 2010 06:35 PM PDT The first time Emily Amrousi, a former spokesperson for the Yesha settler council, heard an Israeli ponder the possibility of the state ceasing to exist was last weekend, at a meal in Paris, she says. Their mouths full of stuffed duck, a journalist from the newspaper Israel Hayom and some Israeli leftists announced that the Zionist adventure is coming to an end. Amrousi, of course, has contempt for such defeatism.

Netanyahu's distraction maneuver Posted: 12 Oct 2010 06:35 PM PDT In the Knesset plenum on Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented a new formula for resolving the disagreement concerning the building moratorium in the settlements: The Palestinians will declare they recognize Israel as a Jewish state and he will ask the government to approve "an additional suspension of construction."

The No-State Alternative Posted: 12 Oct 2010 02:00 PM PDT Anyone that has studied the various 'Alternatives' to the US-managed 'peace process' that were put forward to the Arab League by Palestinian Authority President, Mahmoud Abbas, on 8 October 2010, has likely been able to piece together four different Alternatives that were proposed, and their likely chronology: (1) The PA will ask the US to unilaterally recognize the 'State of Palestine';

EU police mission complicit in Israeli, PA rights abuses Posted: 12 Oct 2010 12:33 PM PDT A bizarre public relations exercise is now underway in the West Bank. Doubtlessly inspired by the enduring popularity of TV drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, the European Union has been trying to glamorize a forensic science course it has been running for Palestinian police since mid-September. As well as being tutored on fingerprinting techniques and the use of chemicals following a murder or armed robbery, officers completing the six-week program will be given CSI vans of their own, "updates" promoting the course tell us. It is not difficult to see why EU officials are eager to obtain favorable publicity for their police support "mission," headquartered in Ramallah. For all of its five-year life, the mission has been something of a poor relation to the other major international policing initiative in the occupied West Bank: that run by United States security coordinator US Army Lieutenant General Keith Dayton (replaced by US Air Force General Michael Moeller earlier this month). At a time when the EU's 27 governments are nominally striving to make a greater collective impact on the world stage, it is logical that they should be highlighting foreign policy work that at first glance appears laudable.

Who is Christopher Lockwood? The mysterious British citizen using the name of a "dead" Israeli soldier in Al-Mabhouh hit squad Posted: 12 Oct 2010 10:30 AM PDT It seems as though the Israeli scandal that emerged following the assassination of Hamas official Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh 10 months ago will simply not go away; nor should it. The revelation in January that Al-Mabhouh had been assassinated in his Dubai hotel room by an assassination squad involving 33 suspects caused an international outcry, not only because of the extrajudicial nature of the execution, nor the fact that it was so clearly orchestrated by such a large team of assassins; nor even that it was carried out in Dubai embroiling that country in an murder investigation with global scope, but also because it involved the use of 45 forged passports; passports forged from countries around the world, including 19 from the UK.

Stepping out of Lula's shadow Posted: 12 Oct 2010 07:52 AM PDT October 3 saw over 100 million Brazilians vote in the first round of the presidential election, leaving the favourite, Dilma Rousseff, tantalisingly short of the 50% + 1 required for outright victory. As the two surviving candidates move into a second round of campaigning ahead of a decisive run-off scheduled for October 31, celebration of a quarter of a century of constitutional government is unlikely. The country suffered no less than six unconstitutional changes of regime between 1889 and 1985; the present election is likely to be sidelined by unwelcome attention to candidate selection, corruption, and a litany of familiar and enduring constraints on democracy.

Spying and lying about the left Posted: 12 Oct 2010 07:25 AM PDT The US peace group "Peace of the Action" has discovered documents showing that it and many other organisations have been under surveillance for many months by a private agency called the Institute of Terrorism Research and Response (ITRR). Founded by antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan, Peace of the Action has focused on opposing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan by pressuring legislators and organising demonstrations and civil disobedience actions at visible places around Washington DC.

Who's left? Posted: 11 Oct 2010 08:16 PM PDT "No thief will ever guess that we have $10,000 sewn into Grandma's old quilt," said Mrs. Donner to her three girls and husband, after dinner, one cold night, while in their warm and comfortable living room. In early 1846, the wealthy Illinois family of George and Tamsen Donner, with their three daughters,  were about to become American pioneers to California. And 10,000 dollars  - equal to about 150,000 to 200,000 dollars, today - would go a long way in ensuring their success in California. But why go?

9/11, Ahmadinejad and the Skunk Posted: 11 Oct 2010 05:28 PM PDT Last month Iranian President Dr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad suggested that a United Nations' independent commission be set-up to clear the fog around the tragic events on September 11, 2010 (watch video below). He was called a 'lunatic' by the Zionist poodles from A to Z. Now, the CNN, one of Israel's largest Hasbara (propaganda) outlet and new owner of Farsi 1, has blown some of the fog by calling 9/11 official story a "Whitewash" and that the 9/11 Commissioners staged a cover-up. (watch the video below). One wonder why Dr. Ahmadinejad's statement pulled the rug under the feet of so many leaders of the so-called "civilized world"? Is it their guilty conscience as they show whenever someone challenges the Zionist narrative of the Holocausy? I mean, Ahmadinejad is not the first political leader who has questioned the 9/11 official story. Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez and Itlay's former President Francesco Cossiga had said earlier that 9/11 was carried out by CIA and the Israeli Mossad.

Wonkette libs poke fun at grieving mother Posted: 11 Oct 2010 09:47 AM PDT We all enjoy good satire from time to time—even when the ribbing is done at our expense. God knows I've dished out my fair share. Very rarely do we find extreme examples, where satirists cross the line into territory that is beyond bad taste. However, this weekend, I found an article on the self-described 'D.C. gossip' website, Wonkette, that did just that.

Mantiq al-Tayr's Latest Invention Posted: 11 Oct 2010 08:32 AM PDT Hey there everybody, all the tuyuur here at Mantiq al-Tayr want to announce that they have come up with, and just in time for Christmas, a new invention which will be on sale soon. You all remember past Mantiqiyyan inventions like the Tafsiranator and the wildly popular Zionist Bullshit Filter. Well now we have something we all feel will be our crowning achievement and we can't wait to tell you about it. But first, we have to deal with issue of the day, the single most important fear held by all patriotic Americans, the imminent take over of these United States by a bunch of crazy Zionist Jewish bankers. Just kidding. The imminent take over of these United States by the mother of all enemies to baseball, Mom and depleted uranium, Shari'ah Law. So let's deal with that topic right now.

Gold Rises as Bankster Currency War Gains Momentum Posted: 11 Oct 2010 07:25 AM PDT Globalist loan sharks feign worry. Unemployment is so bad in the United States, the government is thinking about slapping tariffs on cheap Chinese slave labor products. China is a lead player in the so-called currency war now underway. It has kept the value of its currency low in order to game the system and gain trade advantages. China refuses to follow the rules and this concerns the loan shark boss Dominique Strauss-Kahn and Little Timmy Geithner, the latest Wall Street and Federal Reserve insider to run our Treasury.

9/11: The Unidentified Murder Weapons Posted: 11 Oct 2010 06:16 AM PDT The four aircraft which crashed on September 11th, 2001 have never been forensically matched to the four passenger planes which were allegedly hijacked that morning. Requests under the Freedom of Information Act have met with denials and refusals, and documents which have been produced, allegedly using data from the only three "Black Box" flight recorders said to have been found, have no serial numbers of the devices listed on them. The excellent work done by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth and other such organizations, in their quest to determine what caused the Twin Towers and WTC 7 to collapse, should never be underestimated. But, being the primary murder weapons, for my money the real smoking guns were, and still are, the four aircraft that were used as weapons on that terrible day, and for them not to have been identified breaks every rule in any book which seeks to teach the art of solving crimes. It is either an oversight beyond belief, on the part of the 9/11 Commission, or part of a criminal conspiracy of immense proportions set in motion to cover up what really happened on September 11th, 2001.

US midterms: Political freak show Posted: 11 Oct 2010 06:04 AM PDT I'm you, dear readers. Well, actually, I'm not. But I'm also not a witch, so at least I've got that going for me. The above is of course a reference to Delaware's favourite Wiccan of Wilmington, Republican Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell, who began her most recent television advertisement by assuring viewers that she, indeed, is "not a witch." In past political years this might have been considered a bit low-brow, to actually have to assure the voting public you didn't spend most days at dusk swooping over the heads of the Lollipop Guild.

Inflation to Make All Americans Billionaires By 2020 Posted: 11 Oct 2010 05:32 AM PDT One of the Federal Reserve's original stated purposes was to manage the nation's money supply through monetary policy that provides for stable prices without inflation or deflation. Shocking just about the whole world except for NIA members, the Federal Reserve this past week shifted its purpose from being an inflation fighter to now being an inflation advocate. Charles Evans, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, is now saying that inflation in the U.S. is too low and the Federal Reserve needs to publicly declare a new goal of having inflation that is much higher than its informal 2% target. William Dudley, President of the New York Federal Reserve, is calling current low levels of U.S. inflation "a problem" because "it means slower nominal income growth".

Will The NRA Save Nancy Pelosi's Job Posted: 11 Oct 2010 04:41 AM PDT Political analysts' have been predicting a rough time for Democrats in the mid term election, but at the last moment they are receiving a glimmer of hope, this time from the NRA. The current political makeup of the House is 255 Democrats, 178 Republicans and 2 Vacancies. The Republicans will need to pickup 40 additional seats for the GOP to take control of the House.

Fraud in America Posted: 11 Oct 2010 02:49 AM PDT A systemic problem, it's everywhere, especially in savage capitalism's greed-driven system, enriching a global royalty at the expense of most others. In his book "On Fact and Fraud: Cautionary Tales from the Front Lines of Science," David Goodstein examined examples from centuries back to more recent times, including some accusations turning out to be false.

Religious Leaders in Israel Command Sexual Seduction of Gentile Enemies! Posted: 11 Oct 2010 01:59 AM PDT What kind of religion sanctions deception and immorality for the sake of political goals? Orthodox Talmudic Judaism. The Babylonian Talmud encourages Jews to cheat and deceive Gentiles whenever necessary! In fact, "by way of deception" is the motto of Israel's spy agency Mossad. Official license to deceive and even commit sexual immorality was seen in Israel this week. Eminent Orthodox Rabbi Ari Shvat responded to a female student's question about the morality of seducing and sleeping with an enemy. " I was asked a question by a student of mine who was a religious girl that had been recruited by the Mossad. She wanted to know if a woman was allowed to do this kind of work." Shvat ruled yes and published an essay in Tehumin, an annual collection of articles on law and modernity. The Jewish World summarizes: "A new Halachic study ruled that seducing an enemy for the sake of national security is an important mitzvah…" It is, in fact, an "utmost mitzvah" (legal command). Shvat's work was published by the Tzomet Institute, a non-profit organization dedicated to "seamlessly merging Judaism with modern Israeli life."

His Father's Boy Posted: 10 Oct 2010 11:00 PM PDT Which is the real Netanyahu? Bibi the weakling, the invertebrate, who always gives in to pressure, who zigzags to the left and to the right, depending whether the pressure comes from the U.S. or from his coalition partners? The tricky Likud chief, who is afraid that Avigdor Ivett Lieberman might succeed in pushing him toward the center and displace him as the leader of the entire Right? Netanyahu, the man of principle, who is determined to prevent at any cost the setting up of the state of Palestine, and is therefore using every possible ruse to sabotage real negotiations? The real Netanyahu – stand up!

Is Islam 'religion of peace'? Posted: 10 Oct 2010 05:09 PM PDT "President Bush and President Obama made a great mistake when they said that Islam is a peaceful religion. There is no evidence in history. It's a religion of hatred. It's a religion of war. Islam is wicked and evil," Rev. Franklin Graham on Christiane Amanpour's ABC "Holy War: Should Americans Fear Islam?", October 3, 2010. British-born Christiane Amanpour (born 1958) has British mother and an Iranian Father. She was projected as an 'expert' on Islamic world during her career with BBC begining in 1983. In fact, she has never worked outside the Jewish-controlled mainstream media.

Ron Paul: Fear is The Tool of The Thugs in Government Posted: 10 Oct 2010 03:26 PM PDT Alex welcomes back to the show physician, Republican Congressman for the 14th congressional district of Texas, and former presidential candidate, Ron Paul. He is the founder of the advocacy group Campaign for Liberty and his ideas have been expressed in numerous published articles and books, including End The Fed (2009), and The Revolution: A Manifesto (2008). Paul serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the Joint Economic Committee, and the Committee on Financial Services. Mr. Paul was honorary chair of, and is a current member of, the Republican Liberty Caucus.

Sunday: 8 Iraqis Killed, 18 Wounded Posted: 10 Oct 2010 01:20 PM PDT At least eight Iraqis were killed and 18 more were wounded on a fairly quiet day politically and combatively. While Baghdad and Mosul suffered from the usual violence, Garma once again endured more than one attack. Although this city, just west of the capital, had been mostly quiet in recent years, insurgents are apparently stepping up their terror campaign there. Also, a court acquitted two Iraqis accused of murdering six British soldiers during a riot in 2003. In Baghdad, three people were wounded in a Suleikh-area blast. A sticky bomb wounded a police colonel in al-Dawlai'e. Another sticky bomb wounded a traffic cop in Zayouna. Gunmen in Amiriya killed a policeman. Two people were wounded in a blast in Hurriya. An army officer and his son were wounded in a sticky bomb blast in Mansour. The confessions of two men who allegedly were involved in deadly attacks were broadcast on state television.

Cuba's changes: what would Che say? Posted: 10 Oct 2010 07:29 AM PDT It is hard to imagine what Che Guevara, the legendary communist revolutionary, would make of Cuba's plan to lay off 500,000 state workers by 2011 as the island moves closer to a market economy. Since his death in 1967 at the hands of US-backed forces in Bolivia, Guevara's iconic image has been used to sell everything from soda pop to cheap Chinese made t-shirts. Even symbols of socialism have great commercial value, suggesting the philosophies that motivated Guevara resonate on some level with a wide variety of people.

When Rick Sanchez and Helen Thomas get together... Posted: 10 Oct 2010 05:40 AM PDT What do you think they talk about? I'm guessing it's about how Jews are a poor, oppressed, powerless minority group who have absolutely no say as to what goes in the news industry. As you probably know, Rick Sanchez got fired from his anchorman job at CNN a day after he gave a radio interview and mocked the idea that that Jews are a poor, oppressed minority group in America, especially considering they pretty much run the news industry. He and the host got off on that subject because Sanchez called Jon Stewart a "bigot" for always making fun of him. See, Sanchez, who's as white as you and me, was trying to claim victimhood status, apparently being too darned dumb to understand that having a Spanish name doesn't make you a victim; having brown skin is what makes Hispanics "victims". Sanchez is about as "Latino" as Christina Aguilera. That was his first mistake. As Steve Sailer so eloquently points out, Victimism is a high stakes, dangerous game, and you'd better know exactly what you're doing when you sit down to play. Sanchez was clearly in way over his head. He's like the tourist in Vegas who sees all the excitement at the World Series of Poker, so he plunks down his $10,000 entry fee, and asks "Does the dealer stand on soft 17?"

Arab regime credibility hanging by its last invisible threat Posted: 10 Oct 2010 05:30 AM PDT As I have written and said on more than a few occasions in the past, Zionism's key players know how to play the cards they were dealt and Arab leaders don't. On 25 September I wrote a piece headlined Obama speaks at the UN… Goodbye to peace. Since then I've seen no need for me to contribute to the debate about the farce that President Obama's push for peace is and was always going to be. But the Arab League's decision to give Obama a one-month deadline to rescue the direct talks between Abbas and his quisling administration and Netanyahu and his deluded coalition government demands a comment or two.

'Americans betrayed by their government' Posted: 10 Oct 2010 04:20 AM PDT There has been much chatter on mainstream media that there are plenty of "other" jobs out there that people don't know about. However, data does not support the praises economists are singing about the "New Economy." Paul Craig Roberts says the "New Economy" is supposed to consist of financial services, innovation, and high-tech services but unfortunately these jobs have not come to fruition and the US government has betrayed its people.

Double entendre Posted: 10 Oct 2010 04:19 AM PDT Westerners, especially Americans, often look at violence in the Middle East as a result of the teachings of Islam. This week's talk show by Christine Amanpour's spent the better part of two hours discussing Islam and how people are reacting to Islam as a source of fanaticism publicised in the press. The Western public has been seduced into believing that reactions of "extremists" have something to do with Islam. Extremist reprisals have nothing to do with religion. They are expressions of revenge. Anti-American reactions have been what Reverend Jeremiah Wright called "bringing the chickens home to roost."

Webster Tarpley: "There's a currency war!" Posted: 10 Oct 2010 04:19 AM PDT While developing economies such as BRIC continue to grow, can they ever have a say at the IMF and World Bank? As currency wars continue to wage on will the world ever be able to get off the dollar? Webster Tarpley says the US owns 17% of the vote in the IMF; however developing countries are a center of resistance now.

Leaked letter reveals Obama's contempt for international law Posted: 10 Oct 2010 04:14 AM PDT It has been an unsettling week watching Obama's unholy alliance with Israel take the world a step nearer the edge of the abyss. First I read Mark Glenn's scary piece, "Exodus of Jewish Advisors from Obama White House Likely Not an Omen of Good Things to Come" , in which he suggests the unexpected departure of Rahm Emmanuel, David Axelrod and Larry Summers from the top echelons of the White House might indicate that some sinister and possibly cataclysmic event is imminent.

More Bad News: 10 Things You Should Know About The Latest Economic Numbers Posted: 10 Oct 2010 04:14 AM PDT On Friday, headlines across the United States declared that "unemployment remains unchanged at 9.6%".  Many analysts rejoiced and heralded this announcement as a sign that we have hit bottom and that things will be turning around soon.  But is that the truth?  A closer look at the unemployment numbers reveals some disturbing facts.  For example, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a broader measure of unemployment that includes workers that have stopped looking for work rose sharply to 17.1%.  But that is not the only troubling sign from this past week.  Agricultural commodities continue to skyrocket, which means that food price increases are on the way.  The foreclosure "robo-signing" crisis continues to escalate, and that threatens to throw the entire mortgage industry into a state of absolute turmoil.  Meanwhile, the U.S. national debt continues to grow and wealth continues to leave the United States at a dizzying rate .

Israel: "Country X" Posted: 10 Oct 2010 04:12 AM PDT On October 7, 2010, Israeli daily The Jerusalem Post reported that the FBI has arrested a Jew employee of Akamai Technologies Elliot Doxer for providing confidential information over 18-month to a FBI agent he thought worked for Israeli Consulate in Boston. As expected under a Zionist Occupied Government (ZOG), the US Justice Department has named the benefactor of this latest espionage Israel as "Country X". Furthermore, US Justice Department has charged Doxer with a single count of wire fraud and the Zionist entity being not behind the espionage. Now just imagine what the Jewish media headlines had been – had Elliot Doxer been a Muslim working for some US puppet government in the Muslim world.

Searching for accountability Posted: 10 Oct 2010 03:08 AM PDT A string of shootings by British troops in a non-combat zone resulting in scores of dead civilians; a highway rampage by US troops; a deaf boy shot at when orders barked at him did not illicit a response; a previously unknown US special forces unit reporting directly to the White House, as well as a 'capture kill' list with which they operated, and their botched up missions that resulted in scores of casualties, including the deaths of children at an Islamic school. The largest leak of classified military documents in US history revealed these incidents and many more. Nevertheless, the Afghan war logs published by Wikileaks on July 25 prompted no official apology or investigation into their contents.

Why the "Mastermind of 9-11" is Kept Secluded Posted: 10 Oct 2010 02:50 AM PDT On the ninth anniversary of the "War on Terror" the lead editorial of the global edition of the New York Times suggested that the accused "Mastermind of 9/11", Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, will probably never be put on trial.   These interesting comments from the New York Times were found in its editorial entitled "Military Injustice", a piece that was published in the New York edition on October 6: There are more than 170 inmates left in Guantánamo. Only 36 have been referred for prosecution, some very dangerous men. Forty-eight are in a long-term detention that is certainly illegal. Almost all the rest are in limbo while the Obama team tries to figure out what to do. The chances are dimming every day that prisoners like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, will ever be brought to justice.

Nine Years of the War of Terror Posted: 10 Oct 2010 02:42 AM PDT October 7, 2010, marked the beginning of the tenth year of the War on Terror, a fraudulent and disguised Zionist war of conquest that should more rightly be called the Israeli "War of Terror." This is the more accurate label for the wars being waged in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq.  These wars are all part of an open-ended criminal strategy that was initiated by the false-flag terror of 9/11.  The commission of the criminal War of Terror employs two basic tools:  terror bombings and the threat of more terrorism.  As we see in the current news reports, the two usually go hand in hand.  The recent C.I.A. terror bombings using drones in Pakistan are said to have targeted terrorists plotting to commit terror bombings in Europe.

Inside Story - Israel's new citizen law Posted: 10 Oct 2010 12:55 AM PDT Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, has re-introduced a proposal requiring any non-Jew taking Israeli citizenship to swear allegiance to Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. Inside Story discusses how the 'Jewish loyalty oath' could impact the Middle East peace talks.

Al-Qaeda or Al-Tricko? 'US cries wolf to rev up world for dominance war' Posted: 09 Oct 2010 11:24 PM PDT European intelligence officials and senior Pakistan diplomats have accused the US of crying wolf after it issued a terror alert for Europe earlier this week. The UK's Guardian newspaper goes on to allege the actual purpose of the alert was to justify a recent increase in drone attacks inside Pakistan. American-German historian F. William Engdahl, says the timing of the terror alerts has led to a questioniong of US motives...

The Assassination of John Lennon Posted: 09 Oct 2010 10:34 PM PDT Let's see... It's 1980. There are no cheap air flights. Credit cards are not easily available. A 25 year old janitor flies from Hawaii to New York City, stays in five star luxury hotels (ex. The Waldorf Astoria), flies to Georgia, back to New York City and then back to Hawaii.

The Ecuadorian Coup: Its Larger Meaning Posted: 09 Oct 2010 10:01 PM PDT The abortive military-police coup in Ecuador, which took place on September 30, has raised numerous questions about the role of the US and its allies among the traditional oligarchy and the leftist social movements, Indian organizations and their political parties. While President Correa and all governments in Latin America, and significant sectors of the Ecuadorian public described the violent actions as a coup, the principle organ of Wall Street – The Wall Street Journal – described it as a "police protest". Spoke persons for Goldman Sachs and the Council of Foreign Relations referred to the police and military power grab against the democratically elected government as a self-induced "political crises" of the President. While the coup was underway the "Indian" movement CONAIE, launched a manifesto condemning the government, while the "Indian" party Pachakutik supported the ouster of the President and backed the police coup as a "just act of public servants".

Israel's Enemies–Children of a Lesser God Posted: 09 Oct 2010 07:16 PM PDT What did I ever do to you? Did I ever bring danger to your home, What injustices old or new? What did I ever do or say- That could possibly justify the things You are doing to me this day?

Warning to Glenn Beck: Don't Drink Diet Coke Posted: 09 Oct 2010 05:24 PM PDT On Friday, Glenn Beck announced on his radio show that he will be taking a brief leave of absence for medical reasons. "There is something wrong with my voice, and we're not sure what it is," Beck said, according to a transcript on his website. "They're going to be doing CAT scans and MREs or MRIs and PET scans and they're going to be doing blood work like crazy." In July, the Fox News host admitted that he is suffering from macular dystrophy, an eye disorder that causes vision loss. "Yes, I have a problem with my eyes," Beck told an audience of 6,000 in Salt Lake City. "A couple of weeks ago, I went to the doctor because I can't focus my eyes … So I went to the best doctor I could find… he did all kinds of tests, and he said I have macular dystrophy."

The Jewish Republic of Israel Posted: 09 Oct 2010 05:21 PM PDT Remember this day. It's the day Israel changes its character. As a result, it can also change its name to the Jewish Republic of Israel, like the Islamic Republic of Iran. Granted, the loyalty oath bill that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking to have passed purportedly only deals with new citizens who are not Jewish, but it affects the fate of all of us. From now on, we will be living in a new, officially approved, ethnocratic, theocratic, nationalistic and racist country. Anyone who thinks it doesn't affect him is mistaken. There is a silent majority that is accepting this with worrying apathy, as if to say: "I don't care what country I live in." Also anyone who thinks the world will continue to relate to Israel as a democracy after this law doesn't understand what it is about. It's another step that seriously harms Israel's image.

Gaza teens brave IDF fire to collect salvaged building materials Posted: 09 Oct 2010 05:21 PM PDT In the course of three months this summer Israeli soldiers shot and wounded 10 Palestinian teenagers who collect building materials from demolished structures in the former Israeli settlements and the Erez industrial zone in the northern Gaza Strip, dozens or hundreds of meters from the border. Palestinians believe the shootings are aimed at keeping people away from these areas, but despite the great risk dozens of nearby residents, many of them minors, continue to come in order to collect bits of cement and gravel from inside the buildings that were destroyed by the Israel Defense Forces around the time of the 2005 disengagement, and sell them to contractors and factories in the Strip.

South Korea to bypass sanctions against Iran Posted: 09 Oct 2010 05:13 PM PDT Several of US allies are getting fed-up with Washington's idiotic foreign policy to serve the Israeli interests around the world. One of these allies is South Korea. South Korea has appointed two state-run banks to finance commerce with Iran and revive business ties damaged by sanctions in an effort to protect US$10B in annual trade with Tehran. Woori Bank and the Industrial Bank of Korea will from this month be allowed to finance legitimate trade with Iran in sectors unaffected by sanctions, channeled through Iran's central bank.

Glenn Beck Leaving Fox News? Posted: 09 Oct 2010 02:57 PM PDT Recent headlines surrounding Glenn Beck's health problems could be a face-saving ploy to pave the way for his exit from Fox News, which could be a reason why Beck has become increasingly hardcore in recent weeks, knowing that he is on his way out. Since Beck has been appointed the de facto leader of the patriot movement by the establishment media while reaching some 50 million people a week, it's necessary to look at why he's started to cover real issues in recent months instead of blaming the march of big government collectivism on people like Van Jones and other relative nobodies.

The Afghan War, Past and Present Posted: 09 Oct 2010 01:57 PM PDT This week, as the Afghan War entered its 10th year, there were the usual retrospectives in the media, as well as calls to rethink the war. What's striking, though, is how little thinking media did about the war in the first place. --Some pundits were calling for indiscriminate attacks before the Afghanistan War even started...

Book review: "A Wall in Palestine" Posted: 09 Oct 2010 12:27 PM PDT The conflict in Palestine has become so all-consuming that even objects are central to the struggle. French journalist René Backmann's A Wall in Palestine illustrates this fact. The book reveals how the inanimate object that is Israel's wall in the occupied West Bank has become so imbued with conflicting meanings and ideas that it can be seen as an actor that creates new actions in their wake, like the growing boycott, divestment and sanctions movement (BDS) that takes aim at Israeli colonization. The campaign for divestment from Elbit Systems, a company that provides "intrusion detection systems," is one such example.

Phony Terror Threat Posted: 09 Oct 2010 11:24 AM PDT The question raised in this edition of Press TV's News Analysis is: What was behind the US raising the terror alert across Europe on Sunday? Top Pakistani diplomats and European intelligence officials have said that Obama exaggerated the threat for political gain.

Black-on-white hate crime: Where's the outrage? Posted: 09 Oct 2010 09:57 AM PDT It's a criminal case whose victim bears the scars of a particularly heinous brutality – and whose motivation recalls the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. murders that outraged the nation. But because it "fails to fit a preapproved script, you probably haven't even heard about it," says Erik Rush, author of a controversial new book on racial politics and manipulation. "Were this a white-on-black hate crime," said Rush, "there is no escaping the fact that it would be national news for months, and every prominent black career civil rights activist in America would be calling for the death penalty."

The Israel lobby's shame Posted: 09 Oct 2010 09:31 AM PDT Reading David Grossman's To The End Of The Land led me to wonder why J Street is lambasted for accepting support from George Soros while the "pro-Israel" lobby is never called upon to account for supporting policies that have produced so much grief and mourning in Israel. I won't reveal the plot. It's fiction but, as is well-known, Grossman's 20 year-old son, Uri, was killed during the 2006 war in Lebanon. I am not giving anything away when I say that this would not be the same book if Uri had come home from that war.

Saturday: 6 Iraqis Killed, 22 Wounded Posted: 09 Oct 2010 08:58 AM PDT Displaying newfound confidence that he has the support to remain prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki called on rival parties to make concessions and enter into talks to end the political impasse plaguing Iraq for the last seven months. He also asked opponents living in exile to return home. Meanwhile, at least six Iraqis were killed and 22 more were wounded in violence located mostly in central Iraq. Three brothers were killed execution-style after being dragged out of their home in Garma. Their driver was wounded. The suspected killers were described as dressed in military uniforms. Although Anbar province, where Garma is located, has seen several controversial operations involving military personnel this year, the three brothers worked as bodyguards for government personnel, making this the likely work of Sunni extremists.

Global Banking Cartel Posted: 09 Oct 2010 08:21 AM PDT In this edition of Press TV's 'On the Edge with Max Keiser', Max has an interview with the journalist, David Degraw, who has just published a book named The Road Through 2012: Revolution or World War III. Degraw believes that the so-called global banking cartel of financial terrorists are bent on destroying global economies so that only they themselves, who he believes are only one tenth of %0.01 of the global population, prosper and everyone else suffers and remains poor. He says Americans only have two years to prevent a third world war by revolting against this one tenth of %0.01 of the population or financial terrorists as he calls them.

America's Third World Economy Posted: 09 Oct 2010 08:08 AM PDT For a number of years I reported on the monthly nonfarm payroll jobs data. The data did not support the praises economists were singing to the "New Economy." The "New Economy" consisted, allegedly, of financial services, innovation, and high-tech services.

9/11 as Black Swan Posted: 09 Oct 2010 07:53 AM PDT 9/11, we can all agree, was a highly-improbable, high-impact event on which fortunes were made and lost. I personally lost about two million dollars on 9/11. In 2004, I turned down a University of California post-doc because it was funded by the 9/11-disinfo-spreading Ford Foundation, thereby stepping off the academic career track in favor of 9/11 truth activism. As a 45-year-old, I would have been expected to average at least $75,000 per year for about 25 years had I labored on the academic plantation then collected a pension, yielding $1,875,000 plus returns on any of that that got invested.

Posted: 09 Oct 2010 03:05 AM PDT As countries around the world struggle to emerge from the global economic crisis, are institutions such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) part of the problem - or the solution?

A nuclear armed Japan may be around the corner Posted: 09 Oct 2010 03:01 AM PDT With the U.S. increasingly seen by Japanese military and foreign policy policy-makers as an overextended and failing superpower, some elements in the Japanese government and think tanks feel that the only way Japan can be self-assured over its defense is for the country to amend its constitution and laws to allow for the introduction of nuclear weapons for the Japanese Self-Defense Force.
