The Worm is in the Can- part one


The worm is in the can

Imagine for one moment the corridors of
power and influence, from presidential palaces to military command centres,
being populated by the likes of Ku Klux Klan, white supremacists etc,  who
utter such racist nonsense that one race had been responsible for most of
humanity’s great achievements, that they are more apt at ruling the world’s
affairs!

Imagine for an instant that such dangerous extremists were offered
glamorous receptions and confidential meetings with Presidents, Queens, MPs,
Generals!  Imagine their influence so overt, that in front of US’s White
House for example, the traditional Christmas Tree would be replaced by a
GIGANTIC symbol of this racist ideology…!

Imagine EVERY single one of the 50
Governors of the USA
submissive enough to make proclamations reflecting recognition and admiration
of these racist supremacists, calling them even the "world’s most
influential…"

Can you imagine such folly ???

Well, the REALITY is far
worse

Not only does this folly exist, but the racists in question  in fact
consider their own “race” as unique,  superior morally, intellectually and
spiritually,  and totally distinct from the rest of humanity.

They even
believe to be “gifted” with additional “divine” souls whereby the rest of humans
only have animal souls

They pretend that God created them for a special mission
and gave them the central role of leadership of humanity.

Whilst the political
fringe, such as KKK or white supremacists etc, are insignificant and loathed,
exposed and opposed by all parties whether mainstream or progressives, the
extremists who have REALLY infiltrated all corridors of power are celebrated
and promoted, and their destructive racist ideology is covered-up, muted,
taboo.

This group with its sectarian ideology and predatory methods, has become
a radical, and perhaps pivotal component of the very forces which have
transformed our era into a tragic calamity; characterized by the collapse of
economies, by corrupt and inept governments, by endless wars of destruction, by
social regression, by colossal pauperization, etc etc, setting our planet
ablaze.

It is critically important to scrutinize, expose, challenge and oppose
the networks implanting this sectarian ideology inside the hubs of power.

The
group is called Chabad-Lubavitch, who are Jewish Hasidims.
Under a thin varnish of relatively
innocuous religious fundamentalism, their malevolent totalitarian ideology is
barely hidden.

At closer inspection, a hideous reality quickly appears from
under their friendly facade, on one in particular should raise alarm: the
brainwashing and indoctrination of masses of Jewish children to be their future
soldiers. The fake pretext of transmitting Jewish values and identity is aimed
mainly at non practicing Jewish parents, who easily and understandably fall
into this trap.

The sadistic violence and disrespect for life, the blunt racism
and belligerent amorality, transpires through their internal publications, and
is blatant in their methods inside occupied Palestine, since about 100 years.Simultaneously,
their networks are on a global path of placing their people in key positions
inside western governments and institutions.

A few examples to document the
nature and activities of this global warmongering group:

I came across this website
of the AFL. American Friends of Lubavitch
nationalmenorah.org

 Examine the "gallery",
and consider the level of permeation and influence that they have achieved;
feeling so much at home in USA’s Capitol Hill/Congress, in Universities, at the
White House, at the International Monetary Fund, the Pentagon where they get
offered celebrity receptions.

Please scrutinize the Zionist Chabad-Lubavitcher
websites carefully; and uncover the endless, irrefutable body of evidence of
their infiltration and their manipulation of American policy.

Imagine your
reaction if those websites and pictures depicted Presidents, Prime Ministers,
Generals, Minister of Finances etc, together with KKK, BNP or other racist, supremacist,
war and violence crazed nutcases !

For the racist, sectarian, destructive entity
Israel, the ultra-orthodox “Hasidims” have become the core ideological
fundament, "Chabad Lubavitch" being an essential component. They
constitute the bulk of the settler-movement with all its naked immorality,
arrogance, thievery, and murderous deeds

Were the nature of Chabad Lubavitch
known, the world would be nauseated to its bones with those arrogant monsters
boasting about their spiritual divinity, intellectual uniqueness, moral
superiority, democratic exceptionality, military dominance, and victim-hood
exclusivity

Ari
Fleischer: Reform Lubavitch
,

 by
James Besser,
Baltimore Jewish Times, 10/26/2001, V.262, N.8, p. 30


"Like that of most high-ranking White House officials, press secretary Ari
Fleischer
‘s life has been an exhausting blur since the Sept. 11 terrorist
attacks. But he took a few hours off last week to pick up an award from American
Friends of Lubavitch
, and to help boost the group’s extensive Jewish outreach efforts on Capitol Hill — efforts that Mr. Fleischer, a former
congressional staffer, has supported from the beginning. He was given the
group’s Young Leadership award and Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.) was the
night’s honoree at a dinner that drew hundreds of Washington political bigwigs, Capitol Hill
staffers and Washington
money people.

Mr.
Fleischer was an early leader and co-president of Chabad’s Capitol
Jewish
Forum, which brings together lawmakers and congressional and
administration staffers for Jewish
events study … In a show of
bi-partisanship, both Mr. Fleischer and Mr. Lieberman lavished praise on
the active Chabad effort that emphasizes the army of young staffers
in government and political jobs

the US Congressional Research Services. The mailings of articles from a
plethora of publications by Sid Shoniad were of enormous help, though,

organized all-expenses-paid summer junkets to Israel – with mixed

A handbook put by Congregation of Conservative synagogues details the
precise tactics in pressuring civic and political groups and leveraging
them to support the Israeli state line.

9 For a detailed account see my The Power of Israel: The United States (Atlanta Clarity Press 2006) especially Ch 1-3. Rulers and Ruled in the US Empire (Atlanta Clarity Press 2007) especially Ch 8 – 10; Zionism, Militarism and the Decline of US Power (Atlanta Clarity Press 2008); Global Depression and Regional Wars (Atlanta Clarity Press 2009) Ch 9 – 11.

10 In their otherwise fine book The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy
(New York: Farrar, Straus, and Giroux 2007), the authors John
Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt confine their analyses to Washington and
political pressure on the legislative branch by neo-conservative
Zionist Jews, (see Ch 4 “What is the ‘Israel’ Lobby”, pp 111 – 150).
Needless to say the entire spectrum of Zionists from the Left to Right
attempted to trash the book, fabricating non-facts, ad hominem slanders
and minimizing the scope and depth of the findings.

11 A survey of the Daily Alert,
the propaganda organ of the ‘51’, between January 2001 to December 3,
2009 – namely over 2500 issues — revels nary a single critical article
on any Israeli action. Even more revealing, every issue echoes the
policy line of the Israeli government, defends every Israeli massacre,
military invasion and dispossession of Palestinians and condemns every
human rights group, country, and political leader who criticize Israel
in the best fashion of the hardest line unconditional Stalinist
apologist of the Soviet purge trials of the 1930’s.

12
Pluralist political theorists emphasize the importance of numerical
weight of the working class electorate as a counterweight to the great
concentrations of wealth, property and media power of the capitalist
class under the misconception that unorganized masses are an equal
power to an organized financial oligarchy. The classic formulation of
pluralist theory is found in Robert Dahl, Who Governs (New Haven: Yale University Press 1961).

13 Between the publication of the Goldstone Report in the fall of 2009 to the end of November, the Daily Alert
published an average of three articles a day defending Israel war
crimes, viciously attacking the Report, and slandering the author,
Richard Goldstone, drawing on articles from the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Jerusalem Post and the entire stable of Israel-First “experts” housed in the Zionist think tanks. Once Netanyahu established trashing the Goldstone Report
as a ‘number-one’ priority, the entire international Zionist propaganda
network went into full gear, especially in North America. The Daily Alert
published over 30 articles savaging the ‘Report’. Its affiliates went
into overdrive securing over 80% of Congressional support demanding
that President Obama reject the Report and veto its approval by the
Security Council. Netanyahu and his American agents succeeded –
overfilling their quota of articles published in all the US mass media
and securing submissive Congressional votes. See also Paul Craig
Roberts “Israel Lobby Routs Obama”, Information Clearing House
(www.informationclearinghouse.info) November 12, 2009.

14
According to Aljazeera.Net, November 4, 2009, Steven Rothman, a
prominent Zionist Democratic congressman from New Jersey claimed to
have read only the 20 page executive summary of the Report, prepared by the office of his fellow-Zionist Congressman Berman (D-California), instead of the full 575 page report, – a summary full of errors, lies and distortions, which were pointed out by Justice Goldstone.

15 See Thalif Deen “U.N. Affirms Israel-Hamas War Crimes Report” Inter Press News Service, (www.informationclearinghouse.info) November 6, 2009.

16
Jewish anti-Zionist organizations in North America, including
Independent Jewish Voices, have played an important role in building
the Boycott Disinvestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israeli war crimes: See their web site, http://www.independentjewishvoices.ca

17 For articles and reports on the BDS among trade unions, see independentjewishvoices.ca

18 Trials on Israeli war criminals are scheduled in Belgium, Spain and possibly the UK.

19 Among the publications we can include the Nation, the Progressive and Mother Jones as well as all the Marxist quarterlies,

20 The Zionist Fifth Column
and their apologists claim that analysts, academic researches and
journalists who document the power of Israel in the US, are reminiscent
of past “anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists writing about secret Jewish
cabals”. This slander of empirical researchers overlooks the fact that
most studies rely on public documents, including boasts by the Zionist
organizations themselves, as well as the testimony of ex-functionaries
of AIPAC. This slander is part of the campaign led by the “anti”
Defamation League; Abe Foxman, to intimidate and discredit serious
research.

From the early 1950’s to the mid 1960’s, the US Justice Department
(especially under Robert Kennedy) sought to have the forerunner of
AIPAC (American Zionist Council) register as a foreign agent.

Despite the general consensus among most Washington observers and
congressional staff people regarding the power of what they call the Israel Lobby
and despite the enormous influence of known Zionists in important
foreign policy positions over the past 20 years (in the Clinton, Bush
and Obama regimes) one looks in vain for any critical essays on Zionist
power in the New Left Review, New Politics, Against the Current, Socialist Register, International Socialist Review, Critique etc. If anything, when a book appears, like Mearsheimer and Walt’s The Israel Lobby or my The Power of Israel in the US, we are much more likely to receive a more balanced review in libertarian conservative publications like antiwar.com and informationclearinghouse.info,
than from what appear to be Marxist…Zionist fellow travelers.
Exceptional cases of critiques of Zionist power have appeared in Canadian Dimension and Z Magazine, though I am told that “left” Zionists readers have complained and threatened to cancel subscriptions and/or contributions.

Several publications have enumerated the media outlets, which parrot
the political line of the ZPC and the Israeli regime, principally the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post (and with occasional minor deviations) the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, The New York Post, The Sun,
as well as CNN, CBS, NBS and, of course, Murdoch’s Fox News. However,
these studies lack a systematic analysis of the organizational links
between the pro-Zionist/Israel message, the media owners, editors and
directors and their ties to the ZPC. Glimpses of the Zionist Power
Configuration in the media appear in the writings of Edward Herman,
Norman Finklestein, Grant Smith, Alexander Cockburn, Joel Kovel,
Mearsheimer and Walt. A general resume is found in Edward Abboud Invisible Enemy/Virginia: Vox 2003) Ch 4, 49.

Most of the essays, which identified Zionist zealots in power positions
in the Bush regime, have been published in the website, antiwar.com.

51
Privileging “Jewish” or “Israeli” sources is the favorite device of
writers across the political spectrum and includes non-Jews and Jewish
critics in all the progressive blogs and published work.

52
This is an argument that I have heard and read from some of the leaders
of newly formed Jewish organizations critical of Israel. One wonders
whether this is not a replay of the exclusivist outlook featured in the
rabbinical canon: keeping the ‘dirty wash’ in the family.

53 See Stephen Lendman, “Jews Against Zionism”, December 7, 2009 at lendmanstephen@sbcglobal.net.

54
The major trade unions supporting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions
Movement include Canadian public sector unions, Irish trade union
confederation, British, Italian, French, Greek and Spanish trade unions.

55
In recent times the most notorious effort by the US and Canadian ZPC to
blackball and oust academic critics of Israel revolve around the tenure
case of Norman Finklestein at DePaul University and the censure of
William Robinson at UC Santa Barbara. The ZPC succeeded in securing the
ouster of Finklestein despite strong faculty support and several major
book publications but failed in the Robinson case. In Canada the ZPC
has set up a nationwide campaign to ban activities around the
anti-apartheid issue on university campuses.

56 Daily Alert
has re-published over two dozen op-ed pieces from in the Washington
Post, Wall street Journal and Zionist think-tanks in Washington
defending Israel violations of international law from November 1 to
December 7, 2009.

57 The scorecard is pro-Israel articles 49 to 1 article critical between October – November 2009.

58
From September 1 to December 1, none of the above mentioned media
allowed a single critical non-Zionist commentator to present a view
favorable of the Goldstone Report.

59
Ultra-Zionist academics holed up in so called prestigious Ivy league
universities include Michael Walzer at Princeton, and Dershowitz at
Harvard, Friedman at University of London, Kagan at Yale, Cohen at
Johns Hopkins and a flock of others penning apologies for Israeli state
terror.

60See the excerpts in the Daily Alert from September through December 2009.

61 Michael Walzer, Just Wars and Unjust Wars
(New York: Basic Books 2006. President Obama’s address to the Nobel
Peace Prize committee in December 2009 relied heavily on Walzer’s “Just
War” polemic

62
When Goldstone forwarded his reply to Congressman Berman detailing the
lies and distortions in the latter’s ‘summary’, which accompanied a US
Congressional resolution defending Israeli war crimes, Berman merely
repeated his fabrications. Such are our contemporary “Stalinists” who
know only one “truth” – how to parrot and defend the Israeli party
line. What is amusing is how few of the lifelong Jewish anti-Stalinist
writers have raised any questions about the neo-Stalinist Zionists in
their midst….

63
The combination of scientist, racist and ideologue among Zionist
advocates of the biblical myths is not uncommon among twentieth century
colonial and imperial regimes. On Israeli-Zionist fabricated racial
myths see Nadia Abu El-Haj, Facts on the Ground op cit; Joel Zerulavel, Recovered Roots (Chicago: University of Chicago Press 1995) Ch2, 3; Israel Shahak Jewish History, Jewish Religion (London: Pluto Press 1994) Ch 2 -4.

64 Theodore Adorno et al The Authoritarian Personality
(New York: Basic Books 1950). It is curious that very few
psychological-clinical studies of Zionist socio-pathological behavior
have been produced. Jewish psychologists and sociologists, many of whom
claim expertise in the ‘psychology of terrorism’ and the effects of
fear on civilian populations, are especially prominent in their embrace
of Israeli crimes against humanity. Given the large number of Jewish
psychiatrists and psychologists, this suggests how important ideology
is in defining scientific projects.

65 According to the Guardian
(November 16, 2009), 50% of MP’s in the shadow cabinet are Conservative
Friends of Israel who have received ten million pounds over the past 8
years. The British television Channel 4 documentary program Dispatches broadcast ‘Inside the Pro-Israel Lobby’ with
investigative journalist Peter Osborne, from November 16-20, 2009. This
astonishing report revealed the deep penetration of the three major
parties by the Zionist Power Configuration and the centrality of lobby
funding in securing British defense of Israeli policies and war crimes.
Zionist control of the British mass media is as pervasive as in the US:
the International Television (ITV) network’s two most influential
companies, Carlton Communications and Granada Media Plc, are under
Zionist management and ownership. The BBC TV has turned from being a
fairly objective news outlet to being a cheap propagandist over the
past half decade, under the direction of managing director Tony Cohen.
Zionist ownership of the principal dailies include The Daily Express, the Daily Star and the Murdoch chain (The Sun, The Times, The News of the World) which controls over 80% of British readership.

75
Engel’s threats had little impact: Brazil signed over 20 trade and
investment agreements with Iran and Lula dismissed US Zionist efforts
to dictate foreign policy to the dustbin of history. On December 4,
2009, Secretary of State Clinton threatened dire consequences for
countries developing economic ties with Iran, targeting Brazil, Bolivia
and Venezuela (La Jornada December 4, 2009). President Evo
Morales of Bolivia charged the US has no authority to speak against
terrorism since it is the biggest practioner (La Jornada, December 13, 2009).

76
Avi Lieberman’s visit was an Israeli foreign policy disaster, provoking
major protests in Argentina and Brazil, as well as a very cold
reception from heads of state.

77
Most heads of state, especially the new center-left regimes governing
most of the region, have unpleasant memories of Israel’s close ties
with the bloody dictatorships of the 1970’s and 1980’s. Israel provided
intelligence, military advisers and arms to the genocidal Somoza regime
in Nicaragua, Rios Mont terror state in Guatemala and the death squad
regime in El Salvador. Israel had a special relation with Argentina

following
the bloody military coup in 1976, replacing the US as the main military
supplier, overlooking the murderous campaign against all Argentine
progressives including many Jews, who were taunted by anti-Semitic
torturers. Bishara Bahbah Israel and Latin America (New York: St. Martins Press 1986) Ch 3, 4 5.

78
The Israeli-Jewish media, with the rare exception of an occasional
article in Haaretz, was vehement in support of the rape of Gaza, as was
the Israeli-Jewish public reported in a number of polls published in
January 2009. Dozens of Israeli democratic stalwarts took beach chairs, picnic baskets and binoculars to survey the terror bombing of Gaza from adjoining hills.

80 Under moderate pro-Israelite editors, The New Yorker, the New York Review of Books, the Nation and Progressive
have “debated” the pro and con of Obama’s pro-Israel policies avoiding
any mention of the Zionist penetration of its Mid-East policy apparatus.

81 See Stephan Green Taking Sides (New York: Morrow 1984) Ch. 9. James Bamford, Body of Secrets (New York: Doubleday 2001). James Ennes, Assault on the Liberty (New York: Random House 1980).

82 These include the National Review and the Daily Standard on the right, the New Republic on the liberal left, and the New Yorker which publishes Seymour Hersh’s exposes and hack jobs on the critics of the Zionist power structure.

83 The transformation of Jewish liberalism into virulent Zionist extremism is evident subsequent to the take-over of the New Republic by Martin Peretz in 1974 and Norman Podhoretz “right turn” at Commentary
in the early 1960’s. The Seven Day War and Israel’s military victory
was a major factor in bringing out all the chauvinists strains latent
within many formerly liberal and progressive Jews who subsequently
combined liberal domestic politics with blind support for the most
extremist measures adopted by the Jewish state.

Among the leading left academics ignoring ZPC influence in the lead-up
to the Iraqi war and Iranian sanctions include Perry Anderson, Robert
Brenner, Norm Chomsky, Howard Zinn, among a long list of who’s who in
the Anglo-American left.

89
One prominent progressive rabbi suggested to me that my critique of the
ZPC was “veering on Anti-Semitism”; others have even raised the idea
that identifying organized Zionist influence over US Middle East policy
“reads like the Protocols of Zion”. See Norman Finklestein on the abuse
of the anti-Semitic “blood libel” (to quote Israel’s prime minister) in
The Holocaust Industry, Verso 2003, especially Ch. 3, and Joel Kovel, Overcoming Zionism, Ann Arbor Pluto Press, 2007, Ch 1 – 3.

same type of pseudo research in “Jewish genes” that their German Nazi
counterparts researched on the “Aryian Genes” practiced in the 1930’s.
Totalitarian ideology guides research in defense of genocide and ethnic
expulsion. ZPC objections to the Nazi comparisons would be better
directed at Israeli state funded Jewish gene research.

93See Albert Lindemann, Esau’s Tears: Modern Anti-Semitism and the Rise of the Jews
(Cambridge (UK): Cambridge University Press 1997) pp. 59. Lindemann’s
historical survey of the socio-economic position of Jews is a balanced
account describing the power, wealth and property of Jews in Europe, as
well as their persecution and dispossession. The study puts the lie to
the Zionist notion that “Jews” suffered oppression and persecution for
2000 years. The question is: Which class of Jews was persecuted
in which countries, under which regimes in what time frame. For example
Lindemann details the extraordinary political, media, financial and
commercial power of Jews in Hungary (Budapest), Austria (Vienna),

Zionist Power in American Politics- part two


Bended Knees: Zionist Power in American Politics

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article24236.htm


Demystifying a Racial Doctrine:

The
big challenge for opponents of Judeo-Zionist hegemony is demystifying
its ideological bases. Zionists and their media camp followers always highlight
“Jewishness” and the disproportionate number of notable, successful
scientists and public figures with whom the Zionists self-identify
(even if the said individual have no identification with anything
remotely “Jewish” beyond some distant ancestry). In contrast, to
highlight the “Jewishness” (and Israel-centricity) of notorious
swindlers, spies, warmongers, gangsters, drug or arms traffickers is be
labeled anti-Semitic. Selective ethnic identity is crucial to maintaining and perpetuating the racist myth of Jewish superiority and the corollary of power and prestige, based on special meritorious qualities.
One of the key components of Zionist-Jewish ideology and Israeli power
is precisely the racist myth of the Jewish moral and intellectual
superiority – not the guns, money and backing of Washington and the
ZPC’s central location within the US elite social structure.

There are two options for those interested in demystifying Zionist-Jewish hegemony: One
could eliminate all ethnic labels or one could insist that labels be
applied to all individuals including the most nefarious, grotesque and
embarrassing.

Despite cracks in the Zionist monolith and the emergence of public critics within and without the Jewish community,53 especially among young former Jews, who prefer to assimilate with their fellow-citizens (the passive majority), still up to a third of US Jews remain hard-core backers of the ZPC with Israel as their most enduring political loyalty. While not discounting the psychological gratifications, which accompany beliefs in a mythical biblical past, there are real material benefits to joining the Israel First Power Configuration. While it is true Zionists contribute
money and time to promoting the Israeli agenda, there are also powerful
material incentives, especially the benefits accruing from exclusive
identification and membership in a cohesive configuration, which
empowers its members, finances electoral campaigns and is
well-connected among political leaders, as well as financial, real
estate and insurance moguls. The spinoffs and payoffs for upwardly
mobile Zionist activists can be lucrative and career-enhancing.
Ambitious politicians, who measure up and toe the line, are likely to
tap into substantial funding and favorable media coverage. Networks,
which work for Israel, enhance Jewish-Zionist prestige while providing
emotional gratification and vicarious pleasure in sharing the thrill
of Israel’s bloody military victories and its forceful expansion of the
“fatherland”. Not a few careers have advanced through the “contacts”
made at the national and regional Zionist meetings. This is especially
the case for many, otherwise mediocre, political candidates facing
competitive elections. Active membership in a powerful Zionist
organization may protect the careers of lackluster, or even
incompetent, performers in some academic or professional settings where
the threat of a lawsuit charging anti-Semitism can ensure contract
renewal.

Zionist
racist ideology, with its implicit and explicit emphasis on Jews as
“special people” ordained by God, as well as the media’s bias toward
presenting a selectively positive ethno-religious identity,
provides symbolic gratification to lower middle class Jews, who sell
Israel bonds, write letters to politicians, heckle critics of the
Jewish state and march under the flag of Israel. They are likely to
play a role at the grassroots level in bullying family members,
neighbors and colleagues to join the cause or refrain from voicing
criticism of Israel. Recently, more than a few Seders have led to
family bust-ups over issues like the massacre of Palestinian civilians
in Gaza, the Goldstone Report and the Ben-ami Kadish spy episode.

The
success of the ZPC in projecting power and shaping US policy depends,
in large part, on the financial clout of its millionaire financiers,
its penetration of the state apparatus and the interlock of the
corporate-political directorate. However, equally important is the
grassroots work of hundreds of thousands of middle and lower middle
class activists. The effective exercise of power by the Zionist elites
is based on the vertical ties between the leaders and followers,
especially in mobilizing for Israel’s high priority campaigns
promoting dubious causes – like Israeli repudiation of moderate US
policies toward Jewish colonial settler expansion or calls for more restraint from
killing civilians in Palestine and elsewhere. It is highly unlikely
that any changes can be induced among the Zionist elite; but there are
reasons to believe that some sections of the rank and file can be
influenced by anti-Zionist Jews and non-Jews. This is especially true
at a time when Israeli political leaders have embraced such openly
ultra-rightist postures.


Zionist Hegemony is Vulnerable

Several
developments encourage the hope that these vertical links can be
weakened. Over the past 5 years, numerous articles, books and videos
critical of Israel have broken through Zionist censorship. Equally
important, the emergence of new activist Jewish anti-Zionist
organizations and the vast increase in member organizations supporting
a boycott and divestment campaign against Israeli products, companies
and cultural institutions have broken the ZPC stranglehold on public
opinion.54 Faced with growing opposition in civil society the ZPC has escalated its repressive efforts to ban publication of critical authors, fire academics and savage journalists and politicians.55 Simultaneously a concerted effort has been made to encourage its ideological ‘attack dogs’ in academia suppress any
critical discussion of the issues that most discredit the Israeli
state, namely the recent Israeli massacres in Gaza, the brutal
expansion of settlements in the West Bank, the Goldstone Report on Israeli war crimes and Israel’s well-orchestrated push for war against Iran.56


Zionist Intellectuals: In Defense of Terror:

The
ZPC has long established a near stranglehold on the major media outlets
for opinion and analysis on the Middle East and especially on issues,
which Israel’s foreign office has given high priority. As a result Israel First academics and pundits monopolize the editorial and opinion pages of the Washington Post, the Murdoch chain, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, ­Newsweek, and other print outlets.57 The spread of Zionist extremism is evident in two recent feature articles published by Newsweek
(December 21, 2009), glorifying the neo-fascist head of the Israeli
secret police, Mossad, Meir Dagan for his success in assassinating
political adversaries in violation of national boundaries and his close
ties with US Treasury official and Zionist zealot Stuart Levey, who is
in charge of blackmailing Iran’s trade and investment partners, in
order to strangle the Iranian economy and impoverish seventy million of
its people. The Newsweek authors of these articles are
rightwing Israel and US Zionists. Notorious Zionist news anchors, like
Ted Koppel and Wolf Blitzer, parrot the Israeli-ZPC line in the major
media (Fox News, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, BBC) as well as secondary outlets
(National “Public” Radio).58
The result is self-styled “experts” of dubious loyalty to the America,
but with strong ties to Israel and Zionist propaganda institutes, grind
out opinion pieces which defend the Israeli regime’s most atrocious war
crimes and land grabs.59
Numerous professors from the most prestigious universities hack out
op-ed pieces defending Israel’s assault on Gaza, fabricating judicial
precedents, and citing “Just War” theory.60 Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, when confronted by near universal support for the Goldstone Report,
ordered the ZPC to denigrate Justice Goldstone, the basis and legality
of the Report and falsify its contents. When the extreme militarists,
like Netanyahu, passed the word to Israel’s mouthpieces in North
America, they unleashed the ZPC’s entire stable of academics,
journalists and propagandists. Over one hundred op-ed pieces in the
major media savaged the Report, slandered Goldstone and defended
Israeli terror attacks, which destroyed the entire human infrastructure
of the Gaza.61
No Israeli crime was too great to cause any Harvard, Yale, Princeton or
John Hopkins Zionist academic to rethink their bind subordination to
the Jewish state. They parroted Netanyahu’s line that the massacre over
one thousand civilians and the brutalization of hundreds of thousands
was an exercise of “Israel’s right to self-defense”. Few of the
Jewish and non-Jewish academics, who dared to criticize Israel’s
terrorist policy, cited the weakest section of the Goldstone Report
– its amalgamating Israel’s all-out terror bombing of Palestinian
neighborhoods, schools, hospitals, mosques and farms, with Hamas’
futile and ineffective retaliatory rockets falling mostly on empty
Israeli fields. Few if any raised their voices against the domestic
propaganda arm of Israeli war crimes – the Presidents of the 51 Major
Jewish American Organizations. Needless to say, with few domestic
critics willing to even identify their opponents, the ZPC secured over 90% of the US Congress in favor of Israel’s repudiations of the Goldstone Report, which they had never even read.62

What
is striking about the vast majority of Zionist academic apologists of
terrorism is their shoddy scholarship, their tendentious and illogical
arguments and de-contextualized analogies. Their ‘persuasiveness’ is
based on the fact that their ‘line’ is reinforced by the mass media and enforced
by the ZPC’s political thuggery and character assassination of
potential critics. Their repeated presence in the media gives the
appearance of legitimacy in defending violations of international law.
Their prestigious positions provide a veneer of expertise or knowledge
even as their research in the region is based on flawed premises,
including disproven religious legends and colonial mythology.63
As Zionist academics become more deeply involved in justifying the
expansionist Zionist claims, Israeli conquests and brutal militarism
there is an accompanying marked deterioration of intellectual
standards. Over time prestigious positions become linked with
mediocrity. Academic degrees, awards and badges of merit are harnessed
to hack writing and political hatchet jobs. Noted critics, who exempt
Israeli war crimes and terror, are still published by prestigious
publishers, despite their shabby intellectual output. Promotions and
academic chairs are secured by eminently distinguished apologists of
dubious morality. Their blind support and defense of the practices of a
terror state puts the lie to their claims to high ethical and scholarly
standards.

The American Zionist academic elite fits Adorno’s authoritarian personality: at the throat of the American polity and at the feet of the Israeli – ZPC elite.64
Arrogant posturing, angry polemics and emotional ejaculations cover up
for their lack of substantive arguments. Where bullying fails, soothing
rhetoric which speaks to values, dialogue and cooperation accompanies a
blind eye to the relentless Israeli uprooting of Arab residents from
Palestinian/Jerusalem. Princeton academics cite classical political
theorists in defense of gun-toting Jewish settlers who brutalize
shepherds, threaten school girls and up-root centuries-old Palestinian
olive groves.


The Globalization of Zionist Power

From
the Israeli fatherland to the nerve centers of Zionist power in the US,
using the experiences and drawing on the support of the ZPC, pro-Israel
influence has spread to important political institutions in England,
Canada, France, Netherlands, Russia and more recently South America. In
England, leaders and deputies from both the Conservative and Labor
party accept millions in campaign funds from billionaire Zionists, paid
junkets to Israel and other payoffs in exchange for supporting Israel’s
most egregious acts of violence in Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank.65 Zionist front groups like the “Conservative Friends (flunkeys) of Israel” and “Labor Friends (flunkeys)
of Israel” ensure that the incumbent regimes and the opposition put
Israeli trade and militarist interests at the center of British Middle
East Policy.66

In
Canada under the Conservative Harper regime, Zionists have secured
unprecedented influence and diplomatic and material support for
Israel’s top priorities.67 These include support for the annexation of most of Palestinian East Jerusalem; repudiation of the Goldstone Report;
support for Israeli war crimes during the 2008/09 invasion of Gaza;
Israel’s invasion of Lebanon and pending legislations criminalizing
criticism of Zionism as “anti-Semitism” among a host of other
pro-Israel acts, decrees and trade privileges. The opposition Liberal
and New Democratic parties compete with the Conservatives in pandering
to the pro-Israel power configurations in order to secure campaign
financing from millionaire real estate, financial and media moguls. In
contrast, major Canadian trade unions and anti-Zionist Jewish campus
and community organizations have organized boycotts of Israeli goods
and academic organizations serving the bloody occupation. In France,
life-long Zionist zealot, Foreign Minister Bernard “Bernie” Kouchner,
has embraced Netanyahu’s extreme position of “unconditional
negotiations” which allows massive land seizures and the construction
of ‘Jews-only’ apartment complexes on illegally confiscated
Palestinian land to continue while endless inconsequential “peace”
negotiations take place.68 This position has been supported by Uber-Zionist Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.

In
Russia, eight of the top nine billionaire oligarchs have claimed dual
Israeli citizenship. They illegally and violently seized hundreds of
billions of dollars worth of formerly state-owned mines, factories and
banks, and then transferred part of their illicit fortunes to overseas
banks in Israel, the US, London and the money-laundering offshore
island states and tax-havens. Zionist power peaked during the debauched
Presidency of Yeltsin in the 1990’s, but residual influence is evident
in the Putin-Mevedev regime. This is particularly apparent in the US-
Russian accords to increase sanctions on Iran, a policy that
jeopardizes billions of dollars in Russian investments and trade with
Iran. Russia has resolutely refused to pressure Israel over its
colonial settlement expansion. In a similar manner, Israel retains a
decisive influence over Holland and Germany’s Middle East policy, via
the exploitation of the Holocaust Memory, the Ann Frank legacy and the
pressure of pro-Israel economic sectors.

The
newest example of the “globalization” of Zionist power and the drive
for new Israeli spheres of influence is found in Latin America. Major
US Zionist organizations have contributed substantial financial
resources to building, advising and orienting their counterparts,
especially in Argentina, Brazil and Peru, while engaging in a
systematic effort to curry favor with the US by demonizing President
Chavez for his forthright defense of Palestinian rights and
condemnation of Israel’s crimes against humanity during its blitz of
Gaza.69
For these acts of courage the 51 US Jewish organizations branded Chavez
an “anti-Semitic”, even going so far as to accuse him of fomenting an assault on a Jewish community center in Caracas. When the arsonists were arrested, the assault was revealed to have been carried out by center employees hired by the local Jewish notables. 70

Global
Zionism has targeted Argentina and Brazil. Argentinean Jews have a
history of ambiguous feelings toward the state of Israel and Zionism.
Early twentieth century Jews established farming and cattle ranches –
the legendary “Jewish Gauchos”– while urban artisans and working class
Jews were active in socialist, anarchist, communist and left wing
Yiddish organizations. The mid-century generation (1940-60) of
professionals, businesspeople, academics and bankers divided between
leftist anti-Zionists and Zionists. Both suffered attacks from the
pro-fascist sectors of the dominant mass-based populist Peronist
regime. The 1960’s to 1970’s saw a profound generational split –
characteristic of all Argentinean society – especially under the
military dictatorships of (1966 – 1973) and (1976 – 82). A significant
contingent of university-based students and professors, psychologists
and professionals of Jewish ancestry joined urban guerrillas and
radical mass movements and suffered “disproportionate” number of
deaths by torture and ‘disappearances’. During the worst years of
terror, the Israeli government retained relations with the bloodiest of
the military regimes (Videla, 1976), overlooking its anti-Semitic
proclivities in order to trade in arms and military technologies. At
the same time, Israel promoted Jewish immigration to Israel, securing
passage of Zionist and non-Zionist Jews to Israel.

The
decimation of the generation of young non-Zionist Argentine
revolutionaries of Jewish ancestry and the subsequent post-dictatorial
neo-liberal electoral regimes, saw the rise of new groups of wealthy
Argentine Zionist Jews who grew to dominate local community
organizations. They deepened ties with Israel and more recently
established extensive links with the US ZPC. Once again, however, under
the pro-Israel Menem regime (1980-90) anti-Semitic terrorists bombed a
major Jewish civic center killing and maiming scores of Jews in
downtown Buenos Aires. Investigations of police complicity were aborted
by the Menem regime. Israel ‘overlooked’ Menem’s “negligence” and
instead exploited Jewish fear to offer extremely favorable terms for
Argentine Jews to immigrate (including paid travel, subsidized housing
in the occupied territories – education, jobs etc.).71
The decline of leftwing activity during the1980’s and 1990’s was
accompanied by the de-radicalization of secular Jewish offspring,
especially in the professional classes. With de-industrialization,
Jews, who had formed the backbone of the previous progressive national
bourgeoisie, turned to emigration, finance, real estate and Zionism.72
The severe depression and financial crash of 2001 – 2002 led to the
mass impoverishment of all Argentines (poverty levels hit 50% in
December 2001 – 2002) including otherwise prosperous middle class Jews.73
They joined the popular mass neighborhood assemblies calling for the
return of their savings, the end of neo-liberal policies and
politicians and the restoration of their jobs.

The
subsequent economic recovery and commodity boom (2003 – 2008) led to a
sharp de-radicalization and the ascendance of Jewish Zionist bankers,
real estate and media moguls as principle leaders in the Argentine
community. Their influential role in business and the center-left
Kirchner regime led to a shift toward closer relations with the ZPC –
including increased efforts to include Israel as a member of the
regional integration treaty MERCOSUR.74
From the US side, the ZPC – especially the ADL and AIPAC, through their
servile Secretary of State Clinton and US Congressional clients,
fabricated an Islamic Iranian terrorist conspiracy in Latin America,
especially in the region of the Argentine-Brazilian – Paraguayan
frontier. On October 27, 2009, Zionist Congressman Elliot Engle, head
of the Subcommittee on Western Hemispheric Affairs of the Foreign
Relations Committee, opened hearings focusing on “Iran’s expanding
influence in Latin America”, calling new trade ties between Iran and
Brazil a threat to the region and the security of the US”.75

Faced
with the leftist regimes in Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador opposed to
US and Israeli colonial wars and with Brazil and Argentina’s public
opposing Israel’s crimes in Gaza, Israel launched its US and Latin
American agents on a propaganda blitz to counter the overwhelming
public rejection of Israeli policies. President Shamir followed a
disastrous failed tour by thuggish Zio-fascist Foreign Minister
Lieberman, gaining trade and investment concessions in Brazil and
Argentina.76
Shamir’s visit benefited especially through the contacts and leverage
of local millionaire and billionaire Zionist business leaders.
Nevertheless, Brazil, which has major trade and investment ties
especially in gas and oil with Iran, has no intention of pandering to
Israel.77 In Argentina, the Zionist connection continues to limit any major openings to the Arab-Iranian investments.

Overall,
the Zionist offensive and expanding local power base has resulted in
mixed results: a major outflow of supporters in Venezuela and
diminished influence in Bolivia and Ecuador. In contrast, Zionists have
increased their influence in Brazil and Argentina.

The
enormous growth of Israeli power in Europe and the US, and the new
Zionist offensive in Latin America is part of the “globalization” of
Zionism. But the process is not linear. An especially hard sell
for overseas Zionists are the repeated horrendous massacres by Israeli
military forces, the blatant dispossession of Palestinians and the
aggressive militarism pushed by the ZPC and Israel in the Middle East
and South Asia. As a result, public hostility is growing world-wide;
and there is a profound disconnect between the 80% to 90% Israeli Jews
who defend Gaza war crimes and land seizures and the rest of the world.78 This is evidenced by the United Nations General Assembly vote on the Goldstone Report,
which was endorsed by an almost ten to one margin. Moreover, in the
case of the leftist regimes in Latin America, there is a significant
reversal of Zionist influence. There are equally important cracks in
the Zionist monolith among North American Jews and former Zionist
fellow travelers. The continued “failure of the nerve” or “intellectual
treason”79
of the American left academics and their “Marxist” journals to even
discuss the role of the ZPC in making war policy has not stopped a
breakthrough of Zionist critics, even in some mass media outlets.


Jewish-Zionist Cultural-Political Hegemony in the US

Jewish
Zionist hegemony over the political narrative in the US has grown in
recent years, evidenced by the support or, at most, tepid criticism,
found in the major literary and political journals and magazines.80
In the beginning the ZPC imposed their view that Israeli conquest and
wars against the native people of Palestine and its Muslim neighbors
was a war of “national liberation” or “independence”. This first phase
culminated with Jewish-Zionist success in convincing President Johnson
to cover up Israel’s bombing of the USS Liberty during the Seven Day
War.81
From the 1970-90 Zionist-Jewish hegemony extended from its traditional
bastion in the film, TV and radio mass media to a whole series of
former left-of-center and conservative weekly and monthly publications
and the establishment of new publications on the far right.82 The formerly liberal New Republic became a pulpit for virulent attacks on any critics of Israel.83 Commentary,
formerly a liberal cultural journal, became a mouthpiece for
neo-conservative apologists of Israeli wars … and war crimes …The
conservative National Review moved firmly into the ‘Israel
First’ camp, purging any critical dissent on Israel and its
unconditional supporters in the US. As Zionist hegemony in intellectual
and popular cultural print and mass media was established, committed
Israel-Firsters gained influential positions in US State Department and
foreign policy apparatus.84 “Think Tanks”, thinly veiled propaganda mills, produced pro-Israel position papers.85
Their staff elbowed their way into the mass media as “experts” and into
foreign policy advisory positions serving various politicians and
Administrations. They rose to the highest levels of government in the
Clinton Administration and expanded further during the Bush-Obama
regimes.86
Zionist entry into key positions of structural political power mirrored
their long march through the cultural institutions. Their influence was
reinforced by billionaire Jewish-Zionists’ contributions to established
think tanks, like the Brookings Institute, and to both political
parties. Contributions influenced the nominations and candidates for
office from local mayors to the Presidency of the United States.

It is estimated that as high as 60% of Democratic Party contributions came from Israel First
benefactors, securing an automatic 90% Congressional vote on whatever
issue the Israeli Foreign Office marks as priority for its US Fifth
Column.87
With very rare exceptions neither liberal, progressive, radical or
“Marxist” writers, academics, editors, journalists broach the issue of
Zionist-Jewish cultural-political hegemony, nor its economic structural
underpinnings.88
The “left” is equally hegemonized by Zionist-Jewish influence, to the
point that not a few join the vile ad hominem chorus slandering critics
of the ZPC as “veering on anti-Semitism:…89

Even
today, at the end of the first year of the Obama regime, the Zionist
presence in strategic positions in foreign policy making has been
ignored by leftist and liberal critics of US Middle East policy. Few,
if any critics, look at the structural determinants of that policy. One is more likely to find “data” in the business press. For example, an article in the Financial Times,
criticizing President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s
“inconsistent” position on Israeli settlements in Palestine’s West
Bank, points to the “…problems with the administrations message –
including its inconsistent policy on Israel-Palestine – can be traced
back to the White House, where Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel (dual
Israeli-US citizen) keeps a firm grip on foreign policy. Some
ex-diplomats say they have never seen power so centralized … Mrs.
Clinton’s own deputy, Jim Steinberg, is widely perceived as a White
House enforcer, who polices even relatively minor policy statements
that often leaves State Department spokesmen (sic) mouthing near
meaningless talking points.”90
Emanuel has been active in the Israeli military and is suspected of
ties to its spy agency (MOSSAD). Steinberg is just a high powered
“native born” Israel Firster, marginalizing the State Department from
any alternative policies to pandering to Israel and its US Fifth Column.

Hegemonized
American liberals and leftists maintain their “support” for Israel on
the basis of the fiction that the “bad” Israelis are the fanatical Likud
party leaders while Labor and Kadima party leaders and the Israeli
people want peace and a just settlement. Unfortunately for these
supporters of “progressive” Zionism, the Defense Minister Barak who
directed the bloody massacre in Gaza is the leader of the Labor Party
and is backed by his party in support of all the new aggressive Israeli
land seizures and colonial settlements. The genocidal wars and violent
settlements have the support of the vast majority of the
Israeli Jewish population. Public opinion polls carried out by the
Israel National News published in mid-November 2009 reveals that 53.2%
of Israeli’s say the solution to the conflict with the Palestinian
people is their forceful dispossession and ethnic cleansing –
“transfer” is the Zionist euphemism for a crime against humanity.91 Such are the “just wars” receiving unconditional support by the ‘51’ Presidents of the Major American Jewish Organizations.

The
point is that not even the Israeli-Jewish majority’s embrace of a
totalitarian final solution shakes Zionist hegemony in the US. The
embrace of inconvenient positions, such as genocide approval, is not
publicized in the Zionist mass media. Instead we continue to hear the
chattering classes mouthing the clichés of a “dialogue” and “negotiated
solution” between the expropriators and the dispossessed.

The
question of Zionist cultural and political hegemony, where it is even
been acknowledged by non-Jews and Jews, revolves around several
mistaken partially distorted conceptions. One key idea held by
anti-Semites and Zionists alike is that Jews possess special qualities
(“blood” or “genetic”). Many cite the importance of a Jewish historical
tradition, which emphasizes education and learning. Others still, claim
success and power comes from knowledge, merit and achievement. Recent
studies refute the idea of a special, unique Jewish “gene pool” – as
most contemporary Askanazi Jews are descendants of Central Asian
Khazari converts to Judaism in the 8th Century A.D., who subsequently were pushed into Eastern Europe by the Mongols and beyond.92
Israelis are not descendants of the ancient Jews of Israel, many of
whom converted to Christianity and later Islam and whose descendants
are most certainly the modern-day Palestinians (as conceded by early
Zionists myth-makers, like David Ben-Gurion).

Secondly,
for over one thousand years Jewish “scholarship” revolved around
sterile debates and exegeses of the minutiae of the Talmud and bodies
of law based on religious myths. Critical philosophers like Spinoza
were looked at as renegades. The rise of scholarship and scientific
thinking among Jews coincided with the growth of the Enlightenment and
the establishment of liberal laws, which opened doors for promising
Jewish scholars, scientists to break out of the sterile confines of the
Rabbinal intellectual ghettos. Many of the great thinkers were called
“Jews” because of their ancestry, like Spinoza, Karl Marx and Leon
Trotsky although they did not practice Judaism nor identify as “Jews”.
Recognition and success of Jews came from business and financial
activity as well as from occupations like money managers in the West
and overseers of feudal lords in Poland.93 A Jewish authored scholarly history of the Jewish people was not written till the 19th century and even then it treated biblical legends as fact.94

Equally
questionable is the notion that the rise of Jewish-Zionist hegemony is
a product of “merit” or “achievement”. But here we must distinguish
between the mass of Jews who occupy middle or lower middleclass
positions in society and those few individuals who have made major
contributions. Moreover it is important to not confuse the rise of
individuals to economic power through the exploitation of labor, the
extraction of rent from tenants and speculation and achievement through
“merit”, namely, skills applied to advancing knowledge for the greater
good of working people. Zionists’ “superior race” theorists lump
successful Wall Street speculators with innovative scholars as examples
of “Jewish superiority” justifying or “explaining” hegemony. Zionist
race theories, which claim a homogenous ‘Jewish’ people bound by common
history and horizontal and vertical ties, is more an ideological
manifesto ignoring profound class and even ideological divisions (at
least in the past and perhaps emerging today).

Jewish-Zionist
hegemony in the US is the result of a supra or meta-historical
mythology with mystical religious foundations in the Old Testament. The
rise of American Zionism is tied to a virulent exclusivist tribal
religious loyalty to Israel as the “mother state”. The driving force of
US Zionism is the subordination of US civil society
organizations and the instrumentalization of the US military and
economic resources to service Israeli colonial expansion and
projections of power in the Middle East.

What
needs to be understood is that the present subjection of our Middle
East policy to the Zionist Power Configuration is a result of the
latter’s accumulation of power and political-cultural conditions within
the US, which weakened the articulation of alternative values and
policies and a defense of American working class interests embodied in
a democratic foreign policy.


The Decline of US National Identity and Working Class Politics

The rise of Zionism, as a virulent form of tribal-religious identity linked to a foreign state and its successful exercise of hegemony
within US society, has been facilitated by the abdication by the US
ruling class ‘establishment’ of any ‘national’ identity and its interlocking economic ties with Zionist power brokers in strategic economic sectors.

The
“globalization” of US capitalism, the process of world wide empire
building, has shifted the focus of the US ruling class toward international
issues, as the center of its concerns, even as it intervenes in
domestic economic policies to secure state protection, subsidies and
bailouts, none which trespass on Zionist priorities. Going “global” and
the emergence of “global consciousness” has worked against challenging
the Zionist pursuit of the colonial agenda of the state of Israel. The
ZPC has filled a ‘power vacuum’ left by the ‘globalized elite’ and has
been able to instill and impose a Zionist conception of US “national interest” relatively uncontested.

The
rise of the Zionist business elites into the top echelon of investment
banking, financial institutions, real estate and insurance led to the
inter-mixing of Zionist and non-Zionist members of the ruling class, in
which one side had a deep and abiding political commitment to Israel,
while the other sector gave exclusive primacy to the accumulation of
wealth and guaranteeing that state economic policy ensured profits, a
deregulated financial sector and bank bailouts, policies which they
shared with their Zionist partners. Given the low salience of Israeli
politics, the non-Zionist sectors of the ruling class were not willing
or able to engage in a fight with their Zionist financial colleagues.95

However,
there are divisions, both in government and within policy advisory
bodies, over Zionist control. As mentioned earlier, the 16 major
intelligence agencies issued a report on Iran’s nuclear program in late
2007, which debunked the Israeli-Zionist claims of an active Iranian
nuclear weapons program. Likewise a Pew Foundation Study of the
Council on Foreign Relations, taken between October 2 – November 16,
2009, found that over two-thirds of its members (67 percent) believe
the US favored Israel too much – yet the same percentages claimed Obama
is “striking the right balance” and “Iran is a major threat to US
interest”(Jeff Blankfort “What the US Elite Really Thinks About Israel”
Counterpunch 12/8/09). What is striking about these ‘dissident’
opinions within the policy elite is that they have had no impact on
Obama’s subservience to Israel on all major issues promoted by the ZPC.
Whatever the CFR “really thinks” has not “really” affected the power of
the ZPC to shape policy via its stooges in Congress and its assets in
State (Clinton) and Treasury (Stuart Levey). In other words, Zionist
power at the top is uncontested and free to work the lower echelons of
the political system and class structure for its own interest. This
includes the wholesale purchase of political parties and the retail
buyout of congressional politicians on key foreign policy committees.
The latter is facilitated by the success of the Israel First Political
Action committees (PAC) which promotes the selection of Zionist
Congress people to key committee posts. Four of the top fifteen
Congress people funded by Wall Street speculators are Zionists. Eleven
of the top fifteen are Democrats, who receive 60% of their
contributions from Zionist multi-millionaires in Los Angeles, New York,
and south Florida and other metropolitan centers.96

The political class,
party leaders, executive and congress people, have also eschewed
pro-American working class economic policies, endogenous growth and the
avoidance of foreign entanglements (interventionism). The political
class – particularly its dominant sector – favors military driven
empire building – undermining any popular democratic definition of
‘national interest’. Moreover, the military nature of empire building resonates
with the Zionist-Israeli projection of regional military power and
hegemony. Military-driven imperialism weakens any effort to develop
alternative US overseas economic interests and policies, especially
with Moslem and Middle East oil countries, to counter Israeli-Zionist
policies designed to privilege Israeli military expansion and colonial
interests.

If
the majority of the US ruling class has surrendered to the Zionist
definitions of US Middle East policy, and facilitated the rise of
Zionist hegemony, the decline of the values embedded in working class
solidarity and defense of republican virtues and interests has opened
the door for the minority of Zionist cadres to influence mass culture
and civil society organizations and divert American trade union pension
funds to Israeli investments with no opposition. For decades,
predominantly Afro-American and Hispanic female workers in garments,
textiles and related activities have been members of trade unions run
by Zionist functionaries, who channeled hundreds of millions of member
pension funds and dues into purchasing Israel bonds, rather than
building co-operative housing as was done previously when the union
workers were mostly Jews. Many current (minority) leaders of trade
unions and Afro-Hispanic ethnic organizations have been co-opted by the
ZPC though junkets to Israel and subject to propaganda campaigns
promoting Israeli interests. In universities, municipal politics,
professional associations, Israel Firsters operate to stifle
any debate, let alone criticism, of Israeli war crimes. Zionists in
America are the most pernicious force eliminating debate on American
democratic foreign policy options in the Middle East and favoring
unconditional submission to Israel. Millions of individuals, who may
question the “Israel First” option, are frightened, intimidated
and/or unwilling to face the onslaught of organized, zealous
Zionist-Jewish notables, who can and will influence their employers and
jeopardize their jobs and promotions.


Conclusion: Alternatives to Zionist Hegemony

In
other countries, especially where independent class conscious trade
unions, autonomous and organized anti-Zionist professional and academic
groups exist, Zionist power in civil society is contested, challenged
and its heinous blackballing of critics is weakened. Where
internationalist movements are strong, as in support for Palestinian
resistance to Israeli colonialism, the local ZPC has not been able to
use their economic power and media ownership to impose their hegemony
over civil society. This is especially true in those locales where the
international solidarity movement is active in impacting society.

While
there are pockets of international solidarity among some universities
and trade unions in the US, especially the dock and warehouse workers
in San Francisco, the major potential counterweight to Zionist Israel
First hegemony in the US would be in a revival of patriotic working class consciousness.
America’s “special relation” with Israel has been at an enormous cost
to the working class, amounting to over $1.5 trillion dollars in
foreign aid, loan guarantees, hijacked technological innovations, lost
overseas investment opportunities, not to mention the wars on Israel’s
behalf and the lost lives in fighting Israel’s war in Iraq. There is a
‘material base’ for a mass patriotic working people’s revolt against
the crass submission of the entire political class to the ZPC and its
patrons in Tel-Aviv. But today tens of millions of Americans are
disillusioned with “patriotic” appeals, whose purpose is to promote
imperial wars (including ironically wars for Israel) at the expense of
their living standards. Right wing pro-capitalist politicians use
patriotic rhetoric to deflect attention from the domestic failures of
capitalism and the massive transfers of wealth to Goldman-Sachs and
other Wall Street speculators. The devaluation of “patriotism” is evident in the right wing’s perverse manipulation of ‘nationalism’
to turn native born workers against immigrant workers, instead of
against the ZPC’s costly pro-Israel agenda. This, in turn, hinders the
growth of a national popular movement against the Wall Street
speculators at home and the wars for Israel and Empire abroad.

What is striking about the lack
of mass based movements against Wall Street is the fact that literally
less than 5% of the population even trusts the financial sector. A vast
outpouring of letters and protests denounced Obama’s initial bank
bailout plan, forcing a temporary postponement. Unorganized mass
resentment persists and is smoldering, waiting for effective popular
organization.

Likewise, family and relatives of the Zionist power configuration, in and out of the government, who promote
US wars for Israel in the Middle East, are rarely to be found in the
Armed Forces, least of all at the frontlines (or for that matter in any
war zone). If we exclude non-Zionist Jews – mostly immigrants from the
former Eastern Bloc and USSR – the figure would be one-thirtieth of one
percent. It is a biting irony that more American Zionists are more
eager to join the Israeli ‘Defense’ Forces than to put on an American
uniform. Yet Zionists in public office, in the Pentagon, executive
branch and the White House, who design and promote war policies and
military-driven sanctions, are in the forefront of shedding American
working class lives, especially now when jobless American workers,
including many minorities, are forced to seek employment in the
military. A soldier’s anti-war movement could be organized and
energized under the banner: “A Zionist war is a not the American workers’ fight” if the left and pacifists were not so beholden to their Jewish colleagues ‘sensibilities”. The anti-war leaders have been reluctant to raise the issue of the Zionist/ Israeli influence in promoting US war policies.

Genuine
patriotic solidarity is weak at the top and bottom, lacking any
meaningful recall of our anti-colonial, anti-slavery, anti-imperialist
and anti-fascist identity. In contrast, the Zionist fifth column
is driven by a powerful mythological-tribal race-driven identity, which
in some cases is religious driven and in others embedded in a
deep-rooted secular sense of racial superiority.

Israeli
hegemony, embedded in a Zion-centric cultural universe, has not been
challenged by Anglo-America’s flaccid intellectuals. Their intellectual
cowardice is covered by a thin veneer of “cosmopolitan” impotence.
Their pusillanimous silence and even complicity is intended to ‘protect the sensitivities’
of their Zionist colleagues regarding any forthright critique of
Zionist power in America. Only a revived working class movement, which
recovers its historical memory of class solidarity and inspires the
popular imagination with an independent American republic free from
foreign dictates, will be able to displace Zionist hegemony and Wall
Street pillage.97

Our
study raises several central questions that need to be addressed by
Americans concerned about Zionist power and hegemony over public debate
regarding US wars for Israel in the Middle East.

Can we oppose Israeli war crimes and expansion and US government support of Israel by confronting the ZPC?

Can we open a debate on US, Middle East policy by fighting Zionist authoritarianism, witch hunts and hate crimes?

Can
we discuss and propose a democratic foreign policy, which opposes
military intervention, sanctions and economic blockades, by tackling
American militarists and Israel’s foreign agents?

If we answer in the affirmative, what can be done?

What practical measures can be pursued and supported?

We can educate the American public about the Obama regime’s charade – of talking peace to the American people while supporting
the Israeli war machine; of talking about an evenhanded Middle East
policy while appointing committed Zionists to top policy positions.

We
can demand the Justice Department enforce the Foreign Agents
Registration Act toward the ‘51 Presidents of Major American Jewish
Organizations’ and especially AIPAC.

We should oppose all dual citizens’ appointments to key policymaking posts.

We should demand that Undersecretary of Treasury and Israel Firster
Stuart Levey be investigated and prosecuted for gross malfeasance of
office for his refusal to investigate the illegal billion-dollar money
laundering operations by US Zionists in the funding of illegal Jewish
settlements in the West Bank and for his promotion of economic
sanctions against trade with Iran, which have cost US workers thousands
of jobs and the crippled US economy billions of dollars in lost trade.

We
should oppose military and economic aid to Israel, especially when the
average per capita income of Israeli’s exceeds that of 40% of Americans.

We
should demand the end of trade privileges for Israel in light of the
US’ multi-billion dollars trade deficit with Israel, which has
destroyed tens of thousands of American jobs in industry and services.

We
should combat widespread Zionist hate propaganda, organized and
publicized by the ZPC, against Muslin Americans and Arab American,
their cultural foundations and charities.

We
should demystify Zionist claims that the Jews’ ancestral homeland is
Israel, rather then North Africa and Central Asia, and that there is no
historic basis for the Right of Return.

We
should support the class and popular struggle against finance, real
estate and insurance billionaires (Wall Street) for their pillage of
the American economy and exploitation of American workers and for their
corruption of American politicians to serve their interests and US and Israeli war aims.

Zionist Power in American Politics- part one


 

Bended Knees: Zionist Power in American Politics

By James Petras


http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article24236.htm

“Obama want to see a stop to settlements: Not some settlements, not outposts, not natural growth exceptions”. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, May 2009

“What the prime minister has offered in specifics of a restraint on the policy of settlements…..is unprecedented, there has never been a precondition, it’s always been an issue within negotiations.” Hillary Clinton, BBC, November 1, 2009 (my emphasis)

“The US administration understands what we have always said … that the real obstacle to negotiations is the Palestinians (calling for a freeze on settlements)”. Israeli Minister of Science and Technology Daniel Hershkowitz, November 1, 2009 (my addition).

“America, stop sucking up to Israel!” Gideon Levy, Israeli journalist, Haaretz, November 1, 2009.

“US Zionists are sticking it to America, 24/7”, Anonymous Staff Official, Washington D. C., October 31, 2009.

December 21, 2009 "Information Clearing House" — The
discussion of Zionist Power Configuration (ZPC) in the US political
system revolves around several essential issues, including:

  1. The claims by the ZPC that it represents Jewish opinion and values as well as its authority to speak for the interests of the American people.

  2. Measuring the power of the ZPC and determining its influence over policy, appointments and political institutions.

  3. The
    question of whether the ZPC is a legitimate part of the US political
    system, another lobby, or something very different, an unregistered
    agent of a foreign power (Israel).

  4. The scope and depth of the ZPC influence in US politics beyond the focus on its “lobbying” in Washington on a “single issue”.

  5. The
    organizational weapons and techniques utilized by the ZPC to maximize
    influence and deny voice and influence to critics of Israel and itself.

  6. The
    similarities of the organizational linkages of the Israel-Zionist
    relationship to the Russian – Stalinist Communist Parties of the 1930’s.


Method: Public Records, Ethnic Neutral Sources and Citations

The case against the Zionist Power Configuration is based on the open record
of publications, speeches, articles, interviews and sources available
to the general public (and any interested reader). Many facts and data
are drawn from Zionist and Israeli sources as well as mainstream
publications and writings by critical journalists and analysts.1 We do not privilege
the statements by Jews, whether they are critics or supporters of the
State of Israel, as most “progressive” writers do. The pursuit of truth
is not an “ethnic science”, an approach that smacks of Nazi and Zionist
racial theories. Indeed, nothing reveals the extreme Zionist power or
cultural hegemony over the debate on Israel and American Zionism so
much as the constant reliance, reference and citation of the “Jewish”
authorship of critical articles, even when publications by non-Jews are
better documented, of earlier publication, and better argued.

The ethnic (Jewish) label attached to writings and intellectual and political activity is selectively
applied: the ethnic labels are applied to ‘positive outcomes’ as part
of a general campaign exalting the “superiority” of the “race”; and
disregarded in the face of ‘negative outcomes’ and activities (e.g.
financial swindles, Russian oligarchs, espionage agents). In fact the
“double standard” is buttressed by savage attacks by the ZPC on those
who, following the ethnic labeling tradition, actually mention the
Jewish background of mediocrities and war criminals as well as peace
and justice advocates.

We will begin by questioning and challenging the representativeness of the ZPC in the United States today.


Zionists and the Jewish Communities in America

The 51 Presidents of the Major American Jewish Organization (PMAJO) claim to speak for all Jews in the US.2
A major study in the north Boston region found that less than 25% of
Jews belong to a synagogue, fewer (10%) contribute to the Jewish
Federation and over 50% do not accept rabbinical Zionist precepts
against inter-marriage with non-Jews.3 According to the Jewish Telegraph Agency
(12/4/2009) conservative synagogues have declined by almost 25% from
800 to 650 over the past decade. Even most striking many prominent
individuals who may be of Jewish parentage, no longer consider
themselves “Jews” despite frequent claims by Zionists that their
achievements are a product or a result of their being “Jewish”. Near
majorities of young people of Jewish ancestry do not identify with
Judaism and are critical or indifferent to Zionist appeals for Israel.
They have no involvement in Jewish centered civic activities.4
A small, but vocal, group of Jews are organized and active critics of
the entire Zionist apparatus, rejecting the idea of Israel as an
exclusive ethno-religious state and supporting a secular democratic
republic in Palestine. 5 In addition several Orthodox Jewish sects view the ‘state of Israel’ as a form of blasphemy and call for its destruction.6

The
“51” misrepresent their actual numbers and claim to speak for 6 million
US Jews. At best they may speak for less than half of the imputed
population and even then their support waxes and wanes according to the
issue, the timing and the place and varies in intensity. The power of
the “51” is not a result of its representativeness of the Jewish community at large, but the location
of its followers in the power structure and the intensity and
quasi-religious fervor of their activists. Their political power
resides in their singular forces in pursuit of the interests of the
State of Israel and the control and influence in media; their
nationwide networks and the wealth and financial power of contributors.
Their capacity to browbeat apathetic Jews into making contributions and
lending support adds organizational muscle. Their willing use of force,
money and media slander intimidates any and all critics, including
dissident politicians, media, journalists and professors.7

At
most there are probably no more than 500,000 Jews who actively back the
“51” – but what a half million! Given the low level of political
participation of the US population in general, the relative low
saliency of Middle East issues to most Americans and the one-sided
pro-Israel mass media propaganda, which misinforms the public, the
Zionist zealots have little competition. They have a free hand in
penetrating and influencing political, social and cultural institutions
in line with the policies dictated by their Israeli influenced leaders
among the “51”.

The issue of the limited representativeness of the Zionist organization must be separated from the exercise of power.
By leveraging non-Zionist, non-Jewish civic organizations, political
institutions, pension funds, trade unions etc. the ZPC magnifies its
power beyond its numbers8.

The limited representativeness
of the “51” is compensated by the silence and apathy of the majority of
Jews and non-Jewish/Jews, who either are not willing to challenge ZPC
claims or are immersed in private concerns, careers or other unrelated
civic issues.

The ‘51’s hundreds of thousands of activists are strategically placed in institutions, as well as geographically,
with a centralized command capable of mobilizing money, media attention
and political leverage in any priority, political, cultural or social
arena9.
The ‘51’ organizations are not merely a “lobby” in the sense of having
paid officials operating to influence congressional votes.10
They include religious, civic, charitable, ideological, cultural and
social organizations unified and unconditionally committed to following
the zigzags of Israeli political directives11.
The actual structure resembles a ‘power configuration’ that reaches
from small chapters in municipalities to statewide confederations, as
well as national organizations, each with its own budget, its own
ideological watchdogs and appropriate levels of power.

The
power for Israel is exercised by elected and appointed Zionist
officials, especially those in positions that have any relevance to
Israeli interests. These “interests” include direct aid to Israel,
sanctions and wars against Israel’s Middle East and Asian adversaries,
American pension fund investments in Israel, boycotts of companies
trading with Israeli-designated adversary countries and many other
strategic concerns.

The key to the power of the Zionist Power Configuration is that it is a mass grassroots organization,
bolstered by the financial support by scores of millionaires and dozens
of billionaires and a complicit mass media. These political resources
translate into tremendous leverage over the far more numerous
non-Zionist electorates, the mass media spectators and the upwardly
mobile politicians.

The ZPC illustrates clearly how “numbers” in the abstract do not count,12
especially in a permeable electoral system like the US, where money,
organization, discipline and ethno-religious fanaticism define the
boundaries, issues and acceptable policies.


The ZPC as Foreign Agents of the Israeli State

The recent decision of the US Congress to repudiate (HR 867) the findings of Israeli war crimes in the official Final Report of the United Nations’ Fact Finding Mission on the 2009 Gaza Conflict by a vote of 344 – 36 is a measure of the power of the ZPC.13 The report, also known as the “Goldstone Report”,
after its principle author Justice Richard Goldstone, was released on
September 15, 2009, amid a carefully orchestrated campaign to discredit
its findings and its authors. What is even more important than the US
Congressional vote of condemnation is the fact that the campaign was
publically ordered from Israel, directed by the Presidents of the ‘51’
and obediently and enthusiastically carried out by several hundred
thousand Zionist activists, throughout the country. The ‘51’ and the
mass of Zionist zealots were openly defending Israeli state terror and
crimes against humanity. Their defense of war crimes never evoked a
second thought. What mattered was their ability to pressure, threaten,
cajole and promise future funds to Congressional representatives in
order to secure their vote against Justice Goldstone. Blind obedience
to Israeli dictates was evident in the fact that many Congresspersons
proudly confessed to never having even read the Goldstone Report
and that none dared question the egregious fabrications, which its two
uber-Zionist Congressional sponsors, (Representatives H.L. Berman,
D-California and G.L. Ackermann, D-New York), of the House Resolution
867, concocted.14
The US Congress, in fact, almost unanimously rejected the eminent
Justice Goldstone’s request to present his findings in person.

In the UN National Assembly, the Zionists were able to leverage the US to vote against the Goldstone Report,
which in turn secured the vote of several Eastern European client
states, insignificant island dependencies and the predictable Western
European “Allies”. This amounted to a total of 18 votes against the 114 UN members who endorsed the Report’s
thorough documentation of Israeli war crimes and state terrorism, an
endorsement which represented over 80% of the world’s population.15

The ZPC is powerful but not omnipotent.
It controls the US Congress and Executive and has decisive influence in
the mass media, but there are important fissures in the monolith, as a
number of Jewish organizations and individuals, revolted by Israel’s
mass killings in Gaza and the ZPC unconditional support, have spoken
out in support of the Goldstone Report.16
More importantly, major national trade/union federations in Canada,
Ireland, Great Britain, France and Italy, along with numerous human
rights organizations, support a global boycott and disinvestment
campaign against Israeli products.17
Judicial processes are proceeding in various European countries to
arrest and put on trial top Israeli officials involved in the Gaza
massacre.18

The
United States, under the tutelage of the ZPC, remains as the center of
Israeli power and the sole reliable backer of Israeli war aims in the
Middle East, especially with regard to Iran. The power of Israel over
Washington’s Middle East policy is in direct relation to the strategic
influence of the ZPC. The denial of the power of the ZPC by seemingly “progressive” and “leftist
writers and journalists has been one of the principal obstacles
undermining efforts to effectively counter US government support for
Israeli war crimes, the expansion of colonial settlements in the West
Bank and the military/sanctions policies toward Iran.19


Israeli Power over US Middle Policy: The Centrality of the ZPC.

The
manifestations of Israeli power over the US are public, visible,
outrageous and unprecedented in the annals of US foreign relations.20 Israeli power is wielded directly through its subordinated political arm, the ZPC, which in turn facilitates the direct intervention of the Israeli state in the internal politics of the US. Let us examine several crucial empirical indicators of Israeli power in the US.

On
November 9, 2009, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed
the mass based Jewish Federation (JF) of North America General Assembly
and thanked US President Obama and the US Congress for repudiating the Goldstone Report.
The Israeli head of state then told his US followers to increase their
efforts to influence US policy to “stop Teheran from realizing its
nuclear ambitions”.21
The previous day, Israel’s Ambassador to the United States, Michael
Oren, told the same Jewish Federation to “press for sanctions on Iran
and condemn the findings of the United Nations commission on Gaza.22
Speaking as a tribal chieftain dictating orders to the loyal overseas
followers, Oren stated, “Our strength derives from the belief that we
have a right to independence in our tribal land, the land of Israel…”23
Israel is the only country that can intervene in the internal politics
of the US, counting on a powerful political organization, to shape US
policy to serve its state interests.

By
drawing on the now discredited myth that American Jews’ tribal ancestry
is rooted in Israel, rather than Central Asia, Khazaran, reinforces the
idea that Israel and not the United States – is the true ‘homeland’ of
American Jews and therefore it is their right and duty to obey the
dictates of the Israeli state.24
Each year dozens of Israeli state officials visit the US and directly
intervene in US political debates, congressional hearings and executive
policy making – with nary a whisper of protest, let alone censure from
the US State Department. Any other country’s officials who so
flagrantly intervene in US politics would be declared persona non grata and expelled from the country. In contrast, because of the power of the ZPC, Israeli civilians and military officials are invited
to intervene in US policy making, to set the agenda for numerous
Zionist officials in and out of public office and to bludgeon and
praise those who criticize or oppose Israeli dictates.25
The repeated public statements by Israeli officials that the primary
loyalty of American Jews is to Israel and its policies – in other
words, that they should act as a fifth column for Israel – is
incompatible with the notion of citizenship everywhere except for this
small group in the US.26
One could imagine the outcry (and brutal reprisals) if any political
leader from a Moslem country called on their co-religionists to pursue
its state interests. What is striking then about the ZPC is that it openly and publically organizes meetings, follows orders and pursues policies dictated by Israeli public officials and yet is not registered as a foreign agent, let alone prosecuted for acting, by its own admission, on behalf of a foreign power.27


The ZPC: Lobby or Unregistered Foreign Agents?

Based
on its organizational structure and political aims, the pro-Israel
social-political configuration cannot be reduced to a common “lobby”.
The mass activist organizational structure encompassing and penetrating
civic, political, cultural institutions and media outlets resembles a
power configuration that works within and outside of Washington to
shape political decisions relevant to Israel.28
Equally important it plays a major role in shaping the opinions and
behavior of public opinion and civic society organizations. Secondly,
unlike American lobbies, it acts to shape US foreign policy in the interest of
a foreign military power, up to and including decisions on promoting
war and imposing sanctions against Israel’s opponents, prejudicing the
lives and security of thousands of American working people and
taxpayers. Thirdly, the term “lobby” does not ordinarily encompass the
virulent repressive activities pursued by the ZPC against critical
writers, cultural figures, academics and others in American society who
question Israeli policy. The ZPC not only acts a foreign agent for
Israel today, but has been openly doing so over fifty years.29 In the 1960’s the Justice Department attempted to enforce the 1938 Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA)
against the current American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)’s
predecessor, the American Zionist Council (AZC), but was blocked by
pro-Israel politicians.

The ZPC no only publically gives unconditional support to Israeli policy but engages in espionage
on behalf of Israel as several prominent members of the ZPC and Mossad
have testified. One of America’s leading experts on Israel’s “lobby”
Grant Smith, who has amassed a vast archive of declassified official US
documents on Israeli-Zionist activities in the US, cites numerous cases
in which AIPAC purloined internal classified government documents in
order to further Israeli trade privileges n the 1980’s.30
A leader of the Zionist Organization of America was implicated in the
illegal transfer of US government uranium to Israel in 1956. In 2005
Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman, leaders in AIPAC, admitted to receiving
a confidential document relating to US-Iran policy, transmitting it to
an Israeli embassy official.31
From 1979 to 1985, senior US Army Weapons Engineer Ben-ami Kadish, an
American Zionist and former member of the fanatical Jewish Haganah
militia in British Mandate Palestine, handed critical confidential
documents on an enormous number of US weapons systems over to agents
from the Israeli embassy.32
These were then believed to have been passed to the Soviet Union in
order to influence their policy on immigration to Israel. Under the
influence of the Zionist-infested Justice Department, Kadish got off
with a $50,000 fine and not a single day in jail – for handing scores
of crucial US military secrets to Israel.

Ben-ami
Kadish’s fellow spy, American Zionist Jonathan Pollard, shared the same
Mossad handler in the 1980s. Pollard, who worked as an analyst for US
Naval intelligence, provided the Israelis with crate-loads of
classified military and intelligence documents filled with top secret
information on US policy in the Middle East, weapons systems, US agents
in the Soviet Union and any and all relevant strategic objects of
interest to his Israeli handlers.33

On
October 29, 2009, the Justice Department charged Stewart David Nozette,
a Defense Department scientist, with attempting to transmit classified
information to an Israeli Mossad agent. Nozette, an American Zionist,
did not act strictly out of tribal loyalties to the Jewish State. Like
Pollard, he asked for money and an Israeli passport (Boston Globe 10/20/09). According to former Mossad agent Victor Ostrtovsky, the spy agency recruits thousands of overseas Zionist sayanim
(Hebrew for ‘helpers’) who “must be 100 percent Jewish” for Israeli
Mossad operations, which may include terrorism. (See Ostrovsky, By Way of Deception
(New York: St Martin’s Press 1990, pp 86 – 88). In 2001 Fox News
investigative reporter, Carl Cameron, reported that scores of Israeli
spies were rounded up and deported in the aftermath of 9/11, including
five Mossad agents videoing the World Trade Center bombing.34

Industrial
and political spying is not uncommon among states, even between allies.
What is striking is that representatives of an organized
ethno-religious group, the major American Zionist organizations, have
expressed sympathy and solidarity with such spies as Ben-ami Kadish,
Jonathan Pollard and others, even defending their acts of espionage as
a significant contribution to US – Israeli relations.35
The implication, or better still, the explication for this perverse
thinking is that for the leading American Zionist organizations, spying
for Israel, is part and parcel of their primary loyalty to the Jewish
state. Zionist primary loyalty to Israel is not confined to mainline
American Jewish organizations.

During the Rosen-Weissman trial, numerous prominent Jewish leftist (including Democracy Now’s Amy Goodman) publicly defended the procuring of confidential documents and their handing over to a foreign (Israeli) government as a matter of “free speech” and “freedom of the press”.36
Rosen in his civil suit again his firing by AIPAC (to deflect FBI
investigators) claimed that his dealing of US government documents to
Israeli officials was “common practice” AIPAC officials.37

Top
Zionist leaders in the Bush and Obama administration have a long
history of work for and with Israel, including in some cases activity,
which has caused them to lose security clearances and/or to come under
investigation.38
Two top Pentagon officials in the Bush administration, Former
Undersecretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz and Assistant Secretary of
Defense, Douglas Feith are cases in point. Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm
Emmanuel spent time in the Israeli armed forces and has long been
suspected of ties to Mossad.39
Stuart Levey, a top US Treasury Department official involving in
enforcing sanctions against Iran, has spent nearly a decade in close
collaboration with MOSSAD, a point he brags about.40
During the Bush (Jr.) Presidency, non-Zionist officials in the Pentagon
and CIA complained of being sidelined by top Zionist officials, who set
up their own intelligence offices run by their own fellow Zionist
policymakers.41 Wolfowitz and Feith set up the Pentagon’s Office of Special Plans
run by Abram Shulsky. Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski, an official in the
Pentagon at the time, complained of being marginalized and supplanted
by Israeli officers who had unfettered access to the highest Pentagon
officials.42 The November 2007 United States National Intelligence Estimate Report
(NIE) on the Iranian nuclear program was savaged by all the major
Jewish American organizations, and their cohorts in Congress and the
Executive branch because the report concluded that Iran had suspended
its nuclear weapons development since 2003.43
The major Zionist organizations and their supporters in the US
government favored Israeli intelligence disinformation claiming an
active nuclear weapons program that threatened US security. In short
order the NIE report, prepared by 16 major US Government
intelligence agencies, was pushed aside and US policy followed the lead
of the Zionist-backed Israeli claims of a “secret” Iranian weapons
program despite the absence of any hard data.


Leveraging Power

The
key to Zionist power in shaping US policy toward the Mid-East,
Arab-Muslim relations and toward “third parties” affecting Israeli
policy is the combined influence of Zionists in executive
offices (Treasury, State, National Security, Pentagon, etc.) and
Congress, especially leading committees relevant to Israeli interests,
and as well as the mass organizations in civil society (the ‘51’ major
American Jewish organizations) and Zionist control over the mass media.44
Zionist power and control in these crucial areas spreads out into
influencing academic activity, including the repression of Israeli
critics, the censoring of publications, manipulation of professional
societies, trade unions and state and union pension funds, whose
members are overwhelmingly neither Jewish nor Zionist.

The result is that the Zionist Power Configurations automatic and unquestioning support
for the crimes and treason, including Zionist espionage for Israel
within the US and the universally-condemned Israel war crimes, goes
uncontested in the mass media, the Congress, and even the small
political and literary journals on the ‘Left’. This uncontested support
of espionage by foreign power acting through public organizations is
unique in US history. In the past organizations acting as surrogates
for a foreign power were condemned, ostracized, suppressed, prosecuted
and subject to mass public outrage. It is a “tribute” to the power of
ZPC that none of that occurs today. As a footnote to history, it is the
first time that practically all Marxist journals, monthlies,
bi-monthlies, quarterlies and annuals and their leading contributors
have avoided a serious critique of the ZPC. On the contrary, the sparse
articles which purport to deal with Middle East policies cover-up the
role of the ZPC in shaping US policy.45

There
is evidence that, even in the most radical publications of “critical
writing”, fellow traveling editors, who otherwise claim
“internationalist” and “working class” allegiances, are not willing to
confront the ZPC war makers who promote wars in the Middle East, funded
by American taxpayers and fought by 99.9% non Jewish/non-Zionist working class Americans in uniform.


The Interlocking Directorate: Establishing Zionist Hegemony

Several critical analysts have identified some of the key issues and institutions under Zionist influence.46 Some have identified AIPAC as an influential pro-Israel lobby. Others have noted the pro-Israel bias of the mass media.47 A very few have even identified Zionist predominance in media ownership.48

Others,
especially during the Bush presidency, noted the influence of key
Zionists in the Pentagon, especially their role in promoting the US
invasion of Iraq.49 The narrow focus of their otherwise valuable critiques fails to account for structural continuities over time and place: the long-term, large-scale presence of unconditional Israel Fisters
across administrations especially over the past two decades. Moreover,
while case studies of Zionist influence over specific policy issues,
such as the recent Congressional repudiation of the Goldstone Report
and support for Israeli war crimes, are useful, the larger theoretical
and empirical phenomenon of the growing chain of issues over ever more extended policy areas of interest to Israel (and therefore the ZPC) is ignored.50 In a word, the problem of ZPC power in the US is not confined to a single issue lobby.
This narrow approach obfuscates the systemic role of the ZPC in
effectively disenfranchising the great majority of the American wage
and salaried people (at the expense of their living standards),
increasing war taxes for the middle class and blocking investment
opportunities for corporate America in countries designated (by Israel)
as “security threats” (adversaries of Israeli colonial expansion).

The
career patterns of leading Zionists include movers from business (Wall
Street, Corporate law firms) to government; another pattern involves
Zionist academics who move to the executive branch and then on to
corporate or Zionist think tanks. Others follow a career combining
academic – propagandist – journalist policy consultant positions, often
prominent on the television political ‘talk’ shows. The leading media
moguls combine roles as CEO’s – propagandists – and Israel advocates.
The overlap of career positions creates a network of shared ideologies, defined by ‘what is best for Israel’ (Israel First).
The shared “world view” creates a cohesive group that sets the
boundaries of US policy debate. Congressional behavior, Executive
policy makers and intellectual discourse are confined by these
ZPC-determined parameters. In effect pro-Israel career patterns and
projections of power have established a kind of Judeo-Zionist hegemony
of US public life.


Ethno-sizing Truth

One
of the extreme manifestations of Zionist-Jewish hegemony is found in
the fear and trepidation with which critics of Israeli policy approach
the issue. Most seek to “Judaize” any criticism, instead of
seeking and citing truth, facts or analyses on their own merits. They
support their statements by citing Israeli sources and Jewish
writers, even if earlier non-Jewish, non-Israeli writers and analysts
have raised the same issues and may have provided a more systematic and
consequential critique.51 This “tactic” of seeking to play off critical Jews against the ZPC and Israel is debatable
if not counter-productive, regressive and serves to re-enforce the
pervasive fear of the ZPC. The proponents of this approach, assuming
they are not ignorant of non-Jewish critics, argue that by citing the
Jewish background of the critics of Israel, they disarm the ZPC charge
of “anti-Semitism”. They further argue that by putting an ethnic ‘spin’
or ethnicizing’ the critique they are responding to “Jewish
sensibilities” and are more likely to get a hearing from Jews and their
sympathizers.52

These arguments are plausible but
deeply flawed. Committed Zionists, meaning the entire ZPC, dismiss
Jewish and non-Jewish critics with equal ferocity: the former as
“self-hating Jews”, the latter as “anti-Semites”. Sacrificing truth and
principled criticism to shield “Jewish sensibilities” means refraining
from challenging their residual tribal sympathies to a ‘Zion-centric’
view of the world. If the central problem is Zionist hegemony of US
culture and especially foreign policy in the Middle East (and wherever
else Israel dictates), it ill behooves us to pander to amorphous ‘special sensitivities’ of the few Jewish dissidents who demand ethnically-based critiques.

"Just sue them"



Yair Lapid offers new tactic in international struggle against new anti-Semites

Yair Lapid

Published: 

10.30.09, 14:07 / Israel Opinion

We sat in the small and well-kept backyard at the home of Israel’s
ambassador in London, Ron Prosor. Light rain was falling
intermittently, leaving behind it fresh English air, yet the
expressions around the table remained grim. The conversation focused on
the British media’s takeover by anti-Israel elements.

 

Prosor is a large and smiling man, with a soft base voice, but
his smile was gone when he spoke of the way he is being welcomed by
pro-Palestinian protestors every time he arrives for a lecture at a
British university.

 

You need to read some of the things they write about us here, he sighed. I don’t even know how to start responding to them.

 

Don’t respond, I said. Sue them.

 

One of those present, an influential London attorney, raised his head: What do you mean sue them? He said.

 

What’s so complicated? I replied. Just like they threaten to
sue IDF officers, we need to sue them. Every journalist who refers to
us as “war criminals” or “child killers” needs to know that the next
day his newspaper will be slapped with a million pound lawsuit on
behalf of the State of Israel.

 

What will we gain from it? Someone else asked.

 

Newspapers don’t like lawsuits, I said. It takes time, it costs
money, the paper’s insurance company raises their premium, stockholders
are wondering why they got into this mess to begin with, and the editor
in chief is infuriated after he discovers that he needs to waste two
days on testifying in respect to an article that he didn’t even read.

 

The press won’t come out against us? Prosor asked.

 

There is no such thing as “the press,” I said. This is the most
competitive profession in the world, and everyone is just waiting to
see the others fall. Do you really think that The Independent cares
whether we sue The Guardian? They’ll be happy about it.

 

And who will represent us? Asked someone else.

 

Him, I gestured at the lawyer sitting with us, and a hundred
others like him. If the Jewish people has one reservoir that will never
run out, it’s lawyers. Every Western capital boasts at least five
successful Jewish law firms, and most of them will be glad to represent
the State of Israel against the new anti-Semitism.

 

The lawyer in the group suddenly looked up. It will work, he said. I’m willing to take London upon myself.

“Israel” has NO right to exist

Alan Hart – Israel‘s right or not to exist – The facts and truth

By Alan Hart*

http://palestinethinktank.com/2009/10/16/alan-hart-israels-right-or-not-to-exist-the-facts-and-truth/

On Monday 12 October, Prime Minister
Netanyahu opened the Knesset’s winter session by blasting the Goldstone Report
that accuses Israel of committing war crimes and vowing that he would never
allow Israelis be tried for them. But that was not his main message. It was an
appeal, delivered I thought with a measure of desperation, to the
“Palestinian leadership”, presumably the leadership of
“President” Abbas and his Fatah cronies, leaders who are regarded by
very many if not most Palestinians as American-and-Israeli stooges at best and
traitors at worst.

Netanyahu again called on this
leadership to agree to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, saying this was, and
remains, the key to peace. And he went on and on and on about it.

“For 62 years the Palestinians
have been saying ‘No’ to the Jewish state. I am once again calling upon our
Palestinian neighbors – say ‘Yes’ to the Jewish state. Without recognition
of the
Israel as the state of the Jews we shall not be able to
attain peace
… Such
recognition is a step which requires courage and the Palestinian leadership
should tell its people the truth – that without this recognition there can be
no peace… There is no alternative to Palestinian leaders showing courage by
recognizing the Jewish state. This has been and remains the true key to
peace.”

As Ha’aretz
noted in its report, Netanyahu’s demand for Palestinian acceptance of Israel as
a Jewish state is for him “a way on ensuring recognition of Israel’s right
to exist as opposed to merely recognizing Israel” (my emphasis). This, as
Ha’aretz added, is the recognition which Netanyahu and many other Israelis see
as the real core of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In the name of pragmatism, willingness
to “merely to recognize”
Israel – meaning to accept and live in peace with an Israel inside its pre-June ’67 borders – has long been
the formal Palestinian and all-Arab position. Why does it stop short of
recognizing
Israel‘s “right to exist”, and why, really,
does it matter so much to Zionism that Palestinians recognize this right?

The answer is in the following.

According to history as written by the
winner,
Zionism, Israel was given its birth certificate and thus
legitimacy by the UN Partition Resolution of
29 November 1947. This is propaganda nonsense.

In the first place the UN without
the consent of the majority of the people of
Palestine did not have the right to decide to partition Palestine or assign any part of its territory to a minority
of alien immigrants
in
order for them to establish a state of their own.

Despite that, by the narrowest of
margins, and only after a rigged vote, the UN General Assembly did pass a
resolution to partition Palestine and create two states, one Arab, one Jewish,
with Jerusalem not part of either. But the General Assembly resolution was only
a proposal – meaning that it could have no effect, would not become policy,
unless approved by the Security Council.

The truth is that the General
Assembly’s partition proposal never went to the Security Council for
consideration
. Why not?
Because the
U.S. knew that, if approved, it could only be
implemented by force given the extent of Arab and other Muslim opposition to
it; and President Truman was not prepared to use force to partition
Palestine.

So the partition plan was vitiated
(became invalid)
and the question of what the hell to do about Palestine –
after Britain had made a mess of it and walked away, effectively surrendering
to Zionist terrorism – was taken back to the General Assembly for more
discussion. The option favored and proposed by the
U.S. was temporary UN Trusteeship. It was while the
General Assembly was debating what do that Israel unilaterally declared itself
to be in existence – actually in defiance of the will of the organized
international community, including the Truman administration.

The truth of the time was that the
Zionist state, which came into being mainly as a consequence of pre-planned
ethnic cleansing, had no right to exist and, more to the point, could have no
right to exist
UNLESS … Unless it was recognized and legitimized by those
who were dispossessed of their land and their rights during the creation of the
Zionist state. In international law only the Palestinians could give
Israel the legitimacy it craved.

And that legitimacy was the only thing
the Zionists could not and cannot take from the Palestinians by force.

No wonder Prime Minister Netanyahu is
more than a little concerned on this account.

Israel‘s leaders have always known the truth summarized
above.

It’s time for the rest of the world
to know it.

Israeli High Court of Justice against Bassam Aramin

http://www.creative-i.info/?p=10966

14 October, 2009

The
court does not sympathize

Nurit Peled Elhanan

On Wednesday we – members of the Combatants for Peace movement, women of
Mahsom [Heb. checkpoint] Watch, members of the Forum of Bereaved Families for
Peace and writer David Grossman – attended a hearing at the High Court of
Justice on the matter of the closing, due to lack of evidence, of the
investigatory file on the killing of ten-year-old Abir Aramin about three years
ago.

The hearing, which had been scheduled for eleven
o’clock and then for nine o’clock
and then for ten o’clock and then for
one o’clock, began at two.
Journalists ran to and fro in the corridor (Who died? A little girl? Really?
Excuse me, sir, did your daughter die? Yes. Then you are Bassam Aramin? No, I
am Rami Elhanan. Oh, sorry. So where’s that Aramin? And who are you? We are
from Mahsom Watch. From what checkpoint? What are you doing here? And who are
you? I am a friend. Of those Palestinians? Yes. How come? How can it be? Can I
interview you? Did you too have a daughter who died? Really? When? How? What
was her name? And after all that you are on their side?) But at the end of the
day no Israeli reported on what happened.

Salwa and Bassam Aramin are not Jews and they are
not Israelis. They live under a cruel occupation and they have experienced all
it has to offer: exile, imprisonment and the killing of their small daughter
Abir by a rubber bullet that was allegedly fired from the rifle of a Border
Guard soldier who was sitting in an armoured jeep and thrust the barrel of his
rifle through the opening that was allegedly designed for that purpose and
allegedly aimed and fired at the head of the girl who was standing beside her
sister at a kiosk, allegedly buying candy during the break between the first
class and the second. The projectile was removed from under the girl’s body and
transferred to the authorities. The eyewitnesses, as well as the Border Guard
soldiers, testified that there was no alleged danger to their lives and that
the shooting was done – if it was done – in contravention of instructions. Two
pathologists testified that it was probable that the fracture in Abir’s little
skull could allegedly have been caused by a rubber bullet. The attending physician
at the Hadassah hospital said that it was not a live bullet. The video of the
reconstruction of the incident was not given to the defence counsel or to the
court, because the soldiers who allegedly carried out the shooting, that is,
who thrust the barrel of the rifle through the opening that had been made
especially for that purpose, aimed and fired at the head of the girl Abir, were
featured in the recording.

Counsel for the State, stammering, unprepared and unkempt, stood like a
platoon commander in charge of new recruits with her back to the public and
refuted the allegations: So they found a projectile. So what? Who knows how
long it had been lying there? So people gave testimony, so what? They (those
Arabs) can say anything, does that make it testimony? So nobody was throwing
stones at that spot, so what? On a nearby street stones were thrown. If you
were in my place, she laughingly says to Michael Sfard, Aramin’s attorney, you
would have made morsels of them by now.

Morsels

Judge Beinish reminds Sfard – twice – that there have been such incidents in
the past and that soldiers have rarely been put on trial or even indicted, so
it would be best to just forget it. The State Counsel, with a laugh: I had the
pleasure of attending such trials.

Morsels. Pleasure.

But Salwa and Bassam Aramin have no choice but to seek justice in an Israeli
court. They demand that the truth come to light in a court of the occupiers –
of the killers. “So that I can rest and so that Abir can rest,” Salwa says to
the journalists. The perfect crime, Jean-François Lyotard once wrote, is not
only the killing but also the suppression of the testimony and the silencing of
the voices of the victims. And the greatest injustice is to compel the victims
to seek justice in the court of their tormentors.

As Judge Beinish implied in her comments to Sfard, the blood of Palestinians
is cheap in this country. No one has ever been punished for killing
Palestinians – children, adults, newborns, old people. The Jewish murderers are
all walking among us, free and happy.

Those who have murdered our Israeli children, the Palestinian suicide
bombers, have at least said “let me die with the Philistines”* and spared us
any questions about their presence in the world. The murderer of Abir Aramin no
doubt spent that very evening in a bar (Shit! What a nasty day! A little girl
walked right into my crosshairs!), and will continue to spend many more
evenings in many more bars, while Abir’s parents seek justice from the
occupier, from the oppressor.

My 17-year-old son Yigal sat in the courtroom all day with a shocked
expression on his face. That night he took off for Auschwitz
with his classmates.

For his sake I hoped, I prayed, I implored, I nearly shouted for the drowsy
judges – Beinish, Arbel, Frocaccia – to find a spark of humanity, of motherly
feelings, within themselves and to look into the eyes of Salwa, who never
stopped crying, and at Bassam’s ashen face, and to say: the High Court of
Justice sympathizes with you over the death of little Abir. They didn’t.

 


It wasn’t a Muslim-2


It wasn’t a Muslim

http://www.takeourworldback.com/itwasntmuslims.htm

It wasn’t Muslims who, on
Tuesday, October 2 through Friday, October 5, 2001: 1) met with, and 2)
received $3 million in gifts for "funds for victims" from
Sheikh Hamad bin
Khalifah Al-Thani
, the
Emir of Qatar
who started the Al Jazeera
channel in 1996
with a $150 million grant,
the channel
which
broadcasts audios and videos purporting to be of "Osama
bin Laden
" aka
Emmanuel
Goldstein
; it was: 1)

George W. Bush
, Dick

Cheney (an "old friend")
– Cheney also
met
the Emir on October 20, 2001 to discuss
the "Osama" interviews, Rudy
Giuliani,
Colin Powell
, Paul Wolfowitz, and Richard Myers 2)

Rudy Giuliani
, Paul
Wolfowitz
and Richard Myers
.

It wasn’t Muslims who
fabricated a fairy
stor
y about Pfc.
Jessica Lynch
being ambushed, stabbed, shot, bravely continuing to shoot
Iraqis, being abused,
raped,
and held captive in a hospital by Iraqi guards, and later rescued by elite US
forces; it was "unnamed US
officials
" who

lied
, since in fact there was no "rescue", Lynch’s

gun had jammed
with sand,
she
was being cared for by the Iraqis
after being injured in a car crash, she
had no "bullet holes" or "knife wounds", the hospital was not "under guard", and
doctors had even tried to return Lynch to US forces themselves. 

It wasn’t Muslims who

conspired to invade
a defenseless nation by
lying
about "weapons of mass destruction"
("WMDs") when they had
already made
up their minds to invade for "regime change"
, resulting in excess Iraqi
deaths estimated at

655,000
to

one million
, the displacement of
more than four million, the
sacrifice of thousands of
troops
and throwing away of

$3 trillion
to no avail save for
enriching a few
war criminals and

profiteers
to the tune of
billions of
dollars
in this
proxy war
for Israel
;
it was George W. Bush
and Tony Blair.

It wasn’t a Muslim who ordered aides to plan for striking Iraq

barely five hours after the Pentagon was attacked
on 9/11; it was

Donald Rumsfeld
.

It wasn’t Muslims who ordered
250 police to smash their
way into a house in Forest Gate
, London, in the middle of the night and
arrest two brothers after shooting one of them in the shoulder, on the basis of
intelligence said to be from a "reliable", single source regarding a conspiracy
involving a "cyanide bomb", with the brothers being released without charge
several days later before it was subsequently revealed that the source was
a man with
an IQ of 69 who was already in jail on a terror conviction
; it was Jewish
supremacist lackeys
MI5,
Tony Blair and John Reid
.

It isn’t Muslim countries that
have
hundreds of nuclear warheads
and
submarines equipped with cruise missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads with a 900-mile range;
it is Israel.

It isn’t Muslims that have a powerful political lobby capable of extorting vast sums;
it is Israel.

It wasn’t a Muslim who boasted "We Muslims control America, and the Americans
know it";
it was
Ariel Sharon who boasted
"We, the Jewish people, control America, and the
Americans know it".

It isn’t Muslims who fake phony "hate crimes" against themselves, such as
vandalising their
own cars
or
graves, or
poisoning their dogs
and defacing their houses with swastikas
, or
cutting their clothes
and drawing swastikas on their stomachs
; it is Jews.

It wasn’t Muslims who took
control of The New York Times in 1896
, or who indeed
own and
control much of the mainstream media today
; it was and is Jews.

It isn’t a Muslim country that crushes peace protesters to death with bulldozers or shoots them, or
shells a picnicking family on a beach
(and then

refuses to own up
) when it wants to launch a war within
the next three
weeks
, or warns civilians to flee after blowing up bridges so it can target them like sitting ducks, or shoots at Red Cross ambulances or UN observers after promising they would be safe,
or bombs a power station so that
more than ten
thousand tonnes of crude oil leaks into the Mediterranean
as a "collective
punishment
";
it is Israel.

It isn’t Muslims who
routinely employ
weapons such as phosphorus shells
to inflict
grave and
horrific injuries on
civilians
, and who
deliberately fire more than a
million cluster bomblets of which 40% fail to detonate on impact
and

90% are employed in the final three days before a ceasefire
so they can "get
them all in while the going is good"; it is Israel.

It isn’t a Muslim nation that holds the world record for

defying UN resolutions
; it is
Israel.

It wasn’t Muslims who ganged up on a handicapped Jew for hiking on his own
land, beat him with clubs, dragged him along the ground, tied him to a power
pole and continued to beat and kick him as Muslim soldiers did nothing to stop
it and police merely advised the thugs to pour water on the victim’s head to
wash away the blood before journalists and  photographers arrived; it was a gang
of

four cowardly, bigoted Jewish settlers
who beat up a handicapped Palestinian
with impunity, basking in the knowledge that Jewish soldiers and police would
not act impartially, and even
returning a week
later to torment the neighbors
, ransacking their home and destroying their
few possessions.

It wasn’t Muslim soldiers who beat up and killed a Jew with clubs and rifle
butts and kicks to the head and then, after an ‘investigation’, concluded that
the soldiers had "acted properly"; it was
the Israeli "Defense"
Forces who smashed three holes in a Palestinian teenager’s skull
killing him
as he merely waited at a bus stop, continuing to beat him as he lay unconscious,
then made up a story about him "pulling a knife" and suggested that he was
"mentally unstable" in a case that is sadly

all too typical
of violence perpetrated by racist, bigoted right-wing
extremist

Jewish supremacists
upon those whom they perceive as "animals
in human form
".

It wasn’t Muslims who created a global organization named the "Anti
Defamation League" in order to defend Muslim criminals by playing the race card
and accusing their pursuers of being "racists" and "anti-Semites"
who were guilty of "hate crimes"; it
was Jews who set up the Anti Defamation League of B’nai B’rith in response to
the lynching of
Leo Frank
, president of the Atlanta chapter of the B’nai B’rith Jewish
secret society who had been convicted of murdering 13-year-old Mary Phagan who
worked at Frank’s pencil factory, with the lynching of Frank being in response
to the commuting of his death sentence to life imprisonment after organized
Jewry had tried to cast doubt on Frank’s conviction by shifting the blame to a
black man even though ritual
murder
is a known
Jewish tradition
, the ADL being used thereafter to denounce anti-criminals as "anti-Semites"
whenever

the criminals happened to be Jews
.

It isn’t Muslims who, for political and financial gain,
demolished the
World Trade Center
with

nano-thermite
and crashed
remote-controlled planes
into it in order to set up a hoax about "Jewish
kamikaze pilots" and then attempt to throw researchers off the scent by
pretending to "investigate" the demolitions whilst ‘accidentally’ plumping for
the

wrong hypothesis (e.g. H-bombs rather than thermite)
, and then stubbornly
refuse to change to a hypothesis that is
in
accordance with the evidence
; it is
Jews who set up a hoax about "Muslim
kamikaze pilots
" and have their deliberately misleading ‘work
about the demolitions hosted at sites that are

owned
and edited
by

Jews
.

It wasn’t Muslims who practised pseudo-science by

refusing to look for Iron Blue at Auschwitz
or
explosives at the World Trade Center,
in order that their ‘investigation’ would come up with the required financially
and politically motivated result; it was

Jan Markiewicz, Wojciech Gubala, and Jerzy Labedz of the Jan Sehn Institute at
Krakow
(Auschwitz fraud), and

"scientists" and "engineers"
at

NIST
(WTC fraud).

It wasn’t Muslims who took over the "investigation" of the World Trade Center
collapses when FEMA were

making a hash of
the cover up,

mixed up Figures 11-51 and 11-52
in NCSTAR1-9Vol2 on their WTC7 report which
was published two days after the mysterious death of eyewitness
Barry
Jennings
whose testimony of explosions
in WTC7 before either Tower had collapsed  – note he specifically says
(4:43) "I
was trapped in there when both buildings came down
" –
blew their politically motivated
assumptions and conclusions apart, failed to spot their mistake in their
accompanying description,

assumed unrealistically high gas temperatures
in order to derive their
required unrealistically high steel temperatures, published a preposterous
hypothesis
of a "thermal-expansion"-based collapse with the logical conclusion that the
180
kip shear capacity of four bolts in a seated connection
would be exceeded if the
steel heated up from
20 C to 32 C making the force to completely resist the
thermal expansion
191 kip,
irrespective of the fact that no steel-framed high-rises had ever collapsed due to
"fires" or "impacts" apart from the three that allegedly did so on 9/11, claimed inward bowing of the WTC1 perimeter columns
between floors 94 to 100
peaking at 55 inches at column 316 on the 96th floor
which could not be reconciled with the fact that
the columns’ moment of inertia
or second moment of area was
at least 342 ins^4 along
the minor axis and a
maximum deflection of 55 inches given fixed – fixed boundary conditions and a
distributed load would have required the failure within 102 minutes of
at least
ten
consecutive floors, many of which did not have any fireproofing ‘dislodged’
by a plane and did not even experience substantial fires; it was NIST, whose top
scientists and engineers have

extensive knowledge of nano-thermites
, but said
they had found "no evidence" of explosives at the WTC and later
admitted that
they had not bothered to look for any
. The 9/11 perpetrators had to ensure
those in charge of the "investigation" were aware of that which they must not
find.

It wasn’t a Muslim who announced on Sunday September 16, 2001 that a
"hijacker’s passport" (allegedly that of Satam al Suqami) had been found
"several
blocks from the ruins of the World Trade Center
", with other reports asserting that the passport was
found "in the vicinity of Vesey Street"; it was former Police Commissioner
Bernard Kerik who was indicted November 2007 on multiple counts including lying,
fraud and conspiracy, which is consistent with the fact that the laws of
aerodynamics dictate that
the passport should have been found in the vicinity of
Liberty Street
, the scriptwriter forgot that Suqami was supposed to be on
Flight AA11
approaching from the north, and, of several attempts made by the authorities to
guess where the passport should have been found, not one of them was correct!

It wasn’t Muslims who had JFK killed;
it was
Jews
.

It wasn’t Muslims who stole elections by exploiting electronic voting
machines that biased the results such that the odds for several swing states to
swing as much as they did from the exit polls was

250 million to one against
; it was George W. Bush.

It isn’t Muslims who exhibit traits of supremacist megalomaniacs by referring to their enemies as

"grasshoppers", "beasts", "crocodiles" and "cockroaches"
; it
is Jews

It wasn’t a Muslim who set up

a Ponzi scheme that netted $50 billion
; it was

a Jew
.

It

wasn’t Muslims
who made a record about doing "The
Wall Street Shuffle
" and whose other songs
included scatological references; it was Jews.

It isn’t Muslims who
rule the world by
proxy and get others to fight and die for them
in wars; it is Jews, whose
modus operandi is to

select rich host populations that will let them in
, pose as their "ally"
whilst draining them of
hard-earned wealth, employ
deception to
trick the hosts into fighting poorer nations, and reap
the spoils
of war
such as
Afghan opium
trafficking,
missing Pentagon funds,
looting of
oil-for-food funds
, etc, along with other opportunistic scams such as the
$550
billion electronic run on the banks
. Note: some reports incorrectly state
Thursday September "15", 2008 for the latter; it should of course be September
11, the Thursday prior to September 15.

It isn’t Muslims who have been
expelled from countries on
numerous occasions
, it is Jews who
keep getting kicked out as
soon as the host gets wise to the fact that Jews’ only loyalty is
to their own
tribe
, rather than the host nation to whom Jews pose as an "ally". 

It wasn’t Muslims who started a World War in 1914 in the hope that they could
successfully launch a hoax about "six
million
" of their number being killed in order to obtain
their own
country
and net a substantial fraction of global wealth in "reparations",
failed, but also exploited the opportunity to
annex and loot Russia
and indulge in horrific
blood-letting and oppression
as a means of settling old scores with

the Rus who had chased them westwards from former Khazaria
; it was
Khazar (fake) ‘Jews’.

It wasn’t Muslims who
blew up Francois
Duprat’s car killing him and maiming his wife
, beat up
Dr. Robert
Faurisson
at least
ten
times
in which his jaw was broken / teeth knocked out /
nearly killed
several times / hospitalized for weeks and was persecuted in legal battles and
had his home raided by police, tried to kill Ernst Zundel on at least three occasions in

arson
and

pipe bomb
attacks and had
him and
Germar Rudolf
deported to
Germany and
jailed
for
years
, beat
Jurgen
Rieger unconscious and blew up his car
, beat up

David Cole and threatened to kill him and his family
, persecuted and
beat
Joseph Burg, attacked
Frank Walus
seven times
and nearly killed him in an acid attack,
forced Ivan Lagace to
resign from his job as a crematory expert
after endless threats from
thugs claiming to be from the Jewish
Defense League
,
perpetrated numerous terrorist attacks in France including sulfuric acid sprayed into
faces / attacks with iron bars / baseball bats / gas sprayed / excrement strewn
around, had
historian David Irving spend 400 days in jail
before being released on
Appeal from

a three year sentence which was for two speeches and a newspaper interview he
gave 16 years earlier
, had Dr. Frederick Toben
jailed in Germany for ten
months for using his Australian website
to express his views, and who had dozens more
jailed,
fined, and financially ruined by
character assassination and
legal battles; it was
Jews
attempting to prop up their idiosyncratic brand of "truth"
which
profited them
handsomely for decades
.

It wasn’t Muslims who fabricated
a hoax about "six
million" of their people being "murdered"
involving an
evidence-free
conspiracy theory
about a plot to exterminate them in "gas
chambers
" which netted them – by way of
a huge,
illegitimate land grab
– their own sovereign state, colossal profits in "reparations",
hundreds of billions of dollars in
foreign "aid" and
"loan guarantees"
and
waiving /
subsidizing of interest payments
, etc, and now
serves as their
"sword and shield"
to practice
apartheid
and kill
and oppress
their enemies with impunity; it was
Jews.

It wasn’t Muslims who were
caught
red-handed forging fake "smoke" onto wartime photographs of Auschwitz
; it
was the Simon
Wiesenthal Center
, whose

suitability as guardians of truth
is comparable to a choice of Count Dracula
as a maintainer of blood banks.

It

isn’t Muslim
mathematics that holds that the sum of a set of variables a + b
+ c + d + e… remains constant, e.g. at "six
million
", when several variables fluctuate downwards by, say,

nearly three million
and

about half of that
, in the absence of any corresponding upwards revision; it is
financially and
politically motivated Jewish
"mathematics".

It isn’t Muslim physics and chemistry that holds that corpses may be
rapidly and economically cremated
with
between a pound and a kilogram of coke per body when the firebricks of the
cremation ovens are
not even replaced after some 20,000 cremations
(which is rather like expecting a

Trabant
to be capable of doing 100,000 miles non-stop at 100 mph on 100
gallons of gasoline and a couple of cans of motor oil); it is
politically and
financially motivated Jewish "physics" and Jewish "chemistry".

It wasn’t Muslims – or even the "Russian
police
" – who behave as if they authored
The Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion
; it is
International Jewry,
and if it hisses like a snake and

rattles
like a rattlesnake, it isn’t
exactly benign
.

It is not the "international Muslim" who has much to answer for; it is
the international Jew.

The mainstream media’s conspicuous silence over the
collapse of
the official
9/11 conspiracy theory
has clearly exposed them as "the dogs that didn’t bark".

It wasn’t a Muslim


It wasn’t a Muslim

http://www.takeourworldback.com/itwasntmuslims.htm

With
a peer-reviewed scientific journal having published "loaded gun" (i.e.
unreacted nano-thermite) evidence finally proving beyond doubt that World
Trade Center Buildings 1, 2 and 7 were brought down in a series of controlled
demolitions
, here are a few more facts to consider.

It wasn’t

Muslims in an Afghan cave
who had access to
highly energetic nano-thermites;
it was the US
military
and government scientists such as

those connected with NIST
.

It wasn’t Muslims who ran a
construction company
that was

awarded a $124 million contract
for construction of the Naval Sea Systems
Command (NAVSEA) headquarters in
Washington, DC
, which
oversees
the

Indian Head Naval Surface Warfare Center
(NSWC-IH), which was described
during the 1990s as the "National
Center for Energetics
", the

military’s term for "explosives work"
, and as of 1999-2000 the "only
reliable source of aluminum nanopowders in the United States
"; it was
Tom Leppert who was
CEO of
Turner Construction
as

of 9/11/01
, and who

even writes parts of Presidential speeches
.

It wasn’t Muslims who ran a
construction company
that had

supervised the 2000 demolition of the Seattle Kingdome
, participated in the
post
9/11 collection and disposal of the steel wreckage
of the WTC towers, and
carried out extensive renovations throughout the World Trade Center complex
right up to the morning of 9/11 including
fireproofing
upgrades
on
the
floors that
were
struck by planes
and subsequently "failed", when
the
steel had already been certified
to
ASTM E119 by Universal Laboratories, and,
in tests
sponsored by NIST on corresponding floor assemblies
subjected to
greater
heat exposure
and protected with less fireproofing than

was the case at the WTC
, the test specimens "were
able to sustain the maximum design load
" without collapsing for as long as
the tests were run (2 to 3 1/2 hours); it was Tom
Leppert
who was
CEO of
Turner Construction
as

of 9/11/01
and
received a Torch of Conscience award from the
American Jewish
Congress
.

It wasn’t Muslims who
trained their
cameras on the World Trade Center Towers prior to the first aircraft impact
,
who danced and
celebrated
with high fives
prior to the
second impact as most onlookers still believed it had been a terrible accident

rather than terrorism, and who were caught with
foreign passports,
$4,700 in cash
hidden in a sock,
maps
highlighting certain places in the city, and a van that tested positive for
traces of explosives
; it was

Israelis Sivan Kurzberg, Paul Kurzberg, Yaron Shmuel, Oded Ellner, and Omer
Marmari
, several of whom have been
confirmed
as Mossad agents
, as part of their job in "documenting
the event
".

It wasn’t Muslims who were caught on 9/11/01

operating in teams
with
vans full of explosives
, including one team who

attempted to blow up
the

George Washington Bridge
with a
truck packed
with tons of explosives
, and another who

blew up a van between 6th and 7th on King Street
with a mural painted

of a remote controlled airplane diving into New York and blowing up
; it was
Israelis,
which is why the authorities did their best to

ignore and bury these reports
which included a

suspected van bomb driven into the WTC basement
and exploded to weaken the
structure.

It wasn’t Muslims who were caught shortly after midnight on May 7, 2002 very
close to the

Whidbey Island Naval Air Station
, Oak Harbor, Wash., (where the Navy
conducts explosive
ordnance training
for
bomb
disposal mobile units
to the consternation of local marine life)
with a rental truck
that tested positive for TNT and RDX plastic explosives
; it was
Israelis whose
cover story was of "delivering furniture" but regarded by authorities as dubious
because of the early morning hour, and the authorities’ subsequent claim that
the dog’s reaction and initial tests for explosives were wrong is

so full of holes
that it merely demonstrates

the power of the Israeli lobby
.

It wasn’t Muslims who were
in New
York on 9/11
and

in London on the morning of the 7/7 attacks
; it was

Benjamin Netanyahu
and
Rudy Giuliani.

It wasn’t Muslims who received advance warning of the London 7/7 attacks; it
was

Benjamin Netanyahu
and
the Mossad.

It wasn’t Muslims who provided
two hours’ advance
warning of an attack on the World Trade Center
via an instant messaging
company based in Herzliya; it was
Israelis.

It wasn’t a Muslim who
fled the US on
September 14, 2001
; it was Dominick Suter of "Urban
Moving Systems
" who
fled to
Israel
.

It wasn’t

over a hundred
Muslims who, from around

January 2000 to September 2001
, posed as "art students"
and attempted to penetrate US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) offices and other
federal buildings including
36 sensitive
Department of Defense (DoD) sites
, were caught with diagrams of the interior
of federal buildings and photographs of federal agents and often evaded security
by entering through back doors or parking garages, and even

visited the homes of senior federal officials
but not those of their
neighbors; it was
Israelis
, none of whom were "art students" but many of whom had backgrounds
in Israeli military intelligence. Not surprisingly, the Press went for a limited
hangout by trying to pretend the Israelis were merely shadowing "Arab hijackers"
and either failed to pass on information, or "it
was not treated seriously
", the old canard about "intelligence
failure
". The operations of the Israeli fake "art students" is

well documented
, including plenty of names and even descriptions. An
unusually large number of these Israelis were located in Irving, Dallas, TX
(p.23, previous link), which is

about ten miles
west of
Tom
Leppert’s Alva Court home
, which is
barely more than a mile north of the
Dallas home that George W. Bush moved into after leaving office.

It isn’t Muslim countries that have a massive
spy ring in the USA
capable of tapping
into much of the telecoms network
and using information obtained to blackmail Americans;
it is
Israel.

It wasn’t Muslims who received advance warning on Monday September 10, 2001,
against flying the next day; it was San Francisco Mayor
Willie Brown,
and a group of

top Pentagon officials
.

It wasn’t Muslims who
acquired a
99-year lease
on the World Trade Center’s
Twin Towers, Buildings Four and
Five and approximately 400,000 square feet of retail space
, and insured for billions of dollars against terror attacks a mere six weeks before terror attacks did in fact occur,
and then employed (to press for the insurance claim) a ‘structural engineer‘ who
misleadingly
asserts that
steel loses half its strength at "400 degrees";
it was
– in a deal negotiated by

Lewis Eisenberg
of the Port Authority –

Benjamin Netanyahu’s (and Ariel Sharon’s and Ehud Barak’s) friend
Larry
Silverstein and his partner
Australian billionaire and "Holocaust survivor"
Frank Lowy
who fought "in the
Jewish underground", was embroiled in a high-level bank corruption
scandal
with Israeli Premier

Ehud Olmert
and found to be
making
payments to Lord (Michael Abraham) Levy
who was
arrested several
times
in relation to a "cash for honors" scandal, Levy being a "tennis
partner" and advisor of
Tony Blair.

It isn’t Muslims who have a reputation for

perpetrating arson scams in order to claim off insurance companies
as
evidenced by any colloquial use of the term "Muslim lightning"; it is Jews as
evidenced by the recognized term "Jewish
lightning
".

It wasn’t Muslims who normally breakfasted at
the Windows on the
World restaurant
on the 106th and 107th floors of the North Tower, but by
some bizarre coincidence did not happen to be there on 9/11 and were thus spared
the fate of occupants on that tragic day (none
of whom escaped from the floors above the aircraft impact
at 8:46 AM); it
was Larry Silverstein who was

spared due to having a "dermatologist’s appointment"
, an event
which also spared his two
children who worked at Silverstein Properties.

It wasn’t a Muslim who
went on TV within hours of the attacks
to tell everyone that "It… certainly has the fingerprints of somebody like bin
Laden" and the World Trade Center had collapsed because of "the velocity of the
plane" and "intense heat probably weakened the structure as well", and who
reportedly on that very day advised the White House to take Cipro, an effective antibiotic
against anthrax,
seven days before the commencement of an anthrax letters terror
campaign
targeted at

Democratic U.S. Senators
and

news media offices
, who
on 9/11/01 was
a managing director of the crisis and consequence management group at Kroll Associates
, who

was an advisor to the Council of Foreign Relations
(CFR) regarding
"epidemiological surveillance" and
national security advisor at
the National Institute of Health
(NIH), and who
gave his ‘friend’
John O’Neill a job as Head Of Security at the World Trade Center
; it was
Jerome Hauer.

It wasn’t Muslims who carried out a terror campaign mailing
letters containing anthrax spores
that had their electrostatic charge altered so that they would disperse more
readily
, anthrax that

was traced to the weapons grade Ames strain originating at the US Army Medical
Research Institute for Infectious Diseases
(USAMRIID)
at Fort Detrick,
neither was it the FBI’s
final "suspect"
Roman Catholic Bruce
Ivins
, who, unlike the true perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks, had no motive
to target news media and Opposition Senators and thereby scare them into
uncritical acceptance of the "Arab hijackers" conspiracy theory. Ivins died of

an overdose and alleged "suicide" in July 2008
after the FBI gave up
attempting to pin the blame on Steven Hatfill because
there was
not a scintilla of evidence against him
; a
logical suspect is Philip M. Zack
who left Fort Detrick under a cloud in December 1991 after having headed
a clique
calling itself the "Camel Club" that was racially harassing Egyptian-born Dr.
Ayaad Assaad
. Zack was found by a 1992 inquiry to have been
caught
on surveillance camera being let into a Fort Detrick lab building at 8:40 p.m.
on Jan. 23, 1992
apparently by Dr. Marian Rippy, a lab pathologist and close
friend of Zack. The inquiry also found someone had been in a lab late at
night secretly conducting unauthorised research, evidently on anthrax believed
to include the Ames strain. Nearly ten years on, during the week between 9/11
and the commencement of the anthrax campaign,
the FBI received an
anonymous letter attempting to frame Dr. Assaad as a "bioterrorist"
.
The
anthrax letters seemed

contrived so as to appear to have been written by a Muslim
, and
a New York Times writer told of
a "Mr. Z." who
failed some FBI polygraph tests and was once caught with a girlfriend at Fort Detrick "surrounded only by blushing germs"
.

It wasn’t a Muslim who was claimed to have been killed on the alleged
American Airlines "Flight 77", to have

lived at Silver Spring, Maryland
(as did

a certain
Rabbi Dr.
Dov
Zakheim
), and to have worked on top-secret "deep-black"
projects at the

Indian Head Naval Surface Warfare Center
(NSWC-IH), a "renowned
leader in energetics
" which operates an "Energetics Manufacturing Technology
Center", carries out "advanced
research in energetic systems
" and "absorbed the function of the closed

Naval Ordnance Laboratory
, formerly in White Oak, MD" which is a couple
miles from Silver Spring; it was

William E. Caswell
.

It wasn’t Muslims who were claimed to have been killed on the alleged "Flight
77" and who worked for government or defense, particularly the Navy; it was

John Yamnicky
who, strangely, for the first time
did not tell his
daughter that he was going on trave
l, and who, like

William Caswell
, had worked for the Navy on top-secret "black" projects.
Others included

Charles Burlingame
, a former Navy fighter pilot who used to work in the
section of the Pentagon that was hit and who had formulated a response for the
eventuality of an airliner being flown into the Pentagon and whose daughter
Wendy subsequently died in a "suspicious
fire
" at a 50-story high-rise in New Jersey in December 2006,

Wilson "Bud" Flagg
, a retired American Airlines pilot and Navy Admiral,

Stanley Hall
, an expert in anti-radar technology and a director of program management at Raytheon,

Bryan Jack
, a senior executive and top budget analyst who worked at the
Pentagon,

Chandler Keller
, a Boeing propulsion engineer,
Dong
Lee
, a Boeing engineer who worked for their Integrated Defense Systems and
who had worked for the National Security Agency (NSA) for 14 years,

Barbara Olson
, CNN commentator and wife of the US Solicitor General who
claimed to have received cell phone calls from "Flight 77",

Ruben Ornedo
, a Boeing propulsion / satellite communications engineer,

Robert Penniger
, an electrical engineer with BAE Systems, and another dozen
alleged "Flight 77 passengers" who were linked to defense and government who, we
are told, all just
happened to be on
this
unusually low
occupancy
flight. These people, well loved and
respected
as honest, decent heroes, are the very sort of characters whose
work could have been horrifically exploited without their knowledge, and whom
the 9/11 perpetrators would need to eliminate to prevent them speaking out after
the attacks.

It wasn’t Muslims who profited by
speculating on airline and
insurance stocks in advance of 9/11
; it was Israelis.

It wasn’t Muslims who concocted a hoax about
pork-swilling,
money-eschewing,

celibate
, truthful,
courageous,
pro-animal rights,
"devout Jews" who were "suicide hijackers / pilots",
almost
half of whom
later turned up
alive and
well
; it was Jews who concocted a hoax about
drinking,
gambling,

strip joint-frequenting
,
womanizing, "devout Muslims"
who were "suicide hijackers / pilots",

almost half of whom
later turned up
alive and well.

It wasn’t a Muslim who was a former unit team leader in an elite special forces unit
and whose father was a senior aide, secretary and pallbearer to a man who in 1937 was commander of the Irgun Tzvai Leumi, a
Jewish terrorist organization responsible for atrocities such as the King David Hotel bombing;
it was

Benjamin Netanyahu
.

It wasn’t a Muslim who was the mentor of Benjamin Netanyahu’s
father Benzion and who wrote a
column in the Revisionist Zionist magazine Doar Hayom under the title
"From the Notebook of a Fascist",
praising Mussolini and referring to
one-time commander of the Irgun

Ze’ev (Vladimir) Jabotinsky
as "our Duce";
it was Abba Ahimeir the
founder of
Revisionist Maximalism, a Jewish fascist ideology
.

It wasn’t Muslim
terrorists who plotted to assassinate British foreign secretary Ernest Bevin
;
it was

Jewish terrorists
.

It wasn’t Muslims who orchestrated, and whose operatives were
caught red-handed
in, a failed false-flag terrorist
campaign in Egypt
; it was

Israel
.

It wasn’t Muslims who
attacked the USS Liberty
killing 34 Americans, and had the US President saying "I
don’t give a damn if every man drowns and the ship sinks. I don’t want to
embarrass our allies
"; it was
Israel.

It wasn’t Muslims who were
evacuated
"apparently due to a specific security threat" in advance of the Amman, Jordan terror
attacks
on
November 9, 2005 (9/11 by Israeli and European calendars), which
included a blast at the Radisson hotel
that was known to have emanated from a
bomb hidden in a false ceiling
, even though the official story held that
it was really the work of "suicide bombers" and
therefore by some
bizarre coincidence the ceiling bomb must have been placed there previously by someone
else; it
was Israelis who were evacuated in advance of these attacks
in which
there
were no Jewish casualties, most of the dead were Jordanian Sunni Muslims, two
Israeli casualties were both Arabs, and five Palestinians died
including
Major-General Bashir Nafeh, the head of military intelligence in the West Bank.

It wasn’t Muslims who were
caught and arrested
inside the Mexican Congress chamber on October 10, 2001
in possession of
guns, grenades, dynamite, detonators and wiring while posing as "press
photographers"; it was
Mossad agent
Salvador Guersson Smecke and Israeli illegal immigrant Saur Ben Zvi
at the
very time that Zionists would obtain maximum benefit from a false-flag terror
attack that would mobilize support for the war on "Muslim
terrorists
" in Afghanistan that had been

launched only three days previously
.

It wasn’t Muslims who were convicted and jailed for six months in 2004 for
fraudulently attempting to
obtain a New Zealand passport in the name of a tetraplegic man
;
it was

Mossad agents Uriel Kelman and Eli Cara
who were seeking to create a false
identity for Zev Barkan.

It wasn’t Muslims who claimed to know the identity of "suicide hijackers"
Abdulaziz al-Omari and Saeed al-Ghamdi when, since

individuals with the exact same names and other personal details such as birth
date, place and occupation subsequently turned up alive and well
, the
population of Saudi Arabia
in 1975 was 7,180,000
and even given a high annual birth rate of
30 per 1,000
and ignoring infant mortality the daily birth rate was only 590 and so it is
highly improbable that individuals would share the exact same name, birth date,
place and occupation, al-Omari’s

passport had been stolen in 1995
when his apartment was burgled in Denver,
Colorado (a
state where Mossad agents have been active
), and only utter cretins would
steal the identities of people with a different appearance but having

their exact same name, place, date of birth and occupation
, ergo those
hypothetical "suicide hijackers" would have had entirely different names; it was
the FBI who published a list claiming that the 9/11 perpetrators included
Abdulaziz al-Omari and Saeed al-Ghamdi in addition to
several
others who had turned up alive and well
, and even though the FBI admitted
that some hijackers may have used stolen identities and that
there is "no
legal proof to prove the identities of the suicidal hijackers
," they denied
having misidentified the alleged "suicide hijackers" and refused to change

the names, photographs or backgrounds on their list
– albeit obfuscating and
trying to cover themselves by including multiple spellings and aliases.

It wasn’t Muslims who were behind
a
failed coup in Turkey
; it was crypto-Jew and Mossad agent pseudo-Rabbi

Tuncay Guney
, who

fled to Canada
in 2004, and who
in 2001
lived in New Jersey towns
that were centers of activity for

Mossad Urban Moving Systems operatives
.

It wasn’t Muslims who set up an "al
Qaeda cell
" in Palestine;
it was the
Israeli Mossad
.

It wasn’t Muslims who had established a reputation for having the capability to stage false-flag terror attacks,
i.e., to target U.S. forces and make it look like the act of a third party, prior to 9/11;
it was the Mossad.

It wasn’t a Muslim who

infiltrated the Pentagon and betrayed his country of birth
by selling
classified documents to another country that were then traded to the USSR; it
was convicted spy
Jonathan Pollard
whose
treachery
resulted in stolen nuclear secrets being

passed on to the USSR with Israel as the paying intermediary
.

It wasn’t Muslims who were running an exercise commencing at 9:00 a.m. on the
morning of 9/11 involving a plane crashing into a tower; it was

officials at the National
Reconnaissance Office, Chantilly, VA
.

It wasn’t a Muslim who, in response to the question "Do the orders still
stand
?" regarding the response – or more precisely, the
lack of response – to an aircraft
that was rapidly homing in on the Pentagon and ten miles out after both of the Twin Towers had already
been hit by planes more than half an hour
previously
, whipped his neck around and replied "Of course the orders
still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?"; it was
Dick Cheney.

It wasn’t a Muslim who was CEO of a company that made
remote control "Flight Termination Systems" that could electronically hijack in-flight aircraft
and steer them into targets by means of a "Command Transmitter System";
it was Rabbi Dov Zakheim.

It wasn’t a Muslim who, well aware that a percentage of trillions of dollars
is still hundreds of billions of dollars,
took a
position as Comptroller of the Pentagon in May 2001
when it was already
public knowledge that
the
Pentagon’s accounting systems were in complete disarray
with $6.9 trillion
of "adjustments" having been required in an attempt to make the figures add up,
and with no receipts for $2.3 trillion of these hard to track changes on
non-integrated computer systems and antiquated paperwork that could be readily
taken out by a missile or plane strike on the relevant auditing section at the
Pentagon, and who subsequently

delivered a commemorative sermon on the Pentagon lawn to hundreds of
co-religionists from 40 countries six months after
such a terror strike did
in fact occur

killing at least 34 budget analysts / accountants / financial experts
; it
was
Rabbi Dov Zakheim.

It wasn’t a Muslim who was

at a breakfast meeting with Donald Rumsfeld when the first plane hit the WTC
,
and was at the Army Navy Country Club "when
the plane that hit the Pentagon came right over the top of the Army Navy Club
and bounced down the hill and hit the side of the Pentagon
"; it was
Thomas E. White, who
is linked to the Enron
fraud
, who participated in

JINSA
trips to Israel, e.g.
with his wife
Susan in 1997
, and who was
sworn in as
Secretary of the Army
on May 31, 2001 which is
27 days after George W Bush
appointed Rabbi Dov Zakheim as
Undersecretary
of Defense and Comptroller of the Pentagon
, both
White and
Zakheim having
been placed by Bush at the Pentagon where

more than $2 trillion of transactions
had no receipts and Pentagon finances
were vulnerable to a "terror attack" that would target

the appropriate auditing section

It

wasn’t Muslims
who
in
2000 co-authored a document
which called for a "new Pearl Harbor";
it was Roger Barnett, Alvin Bernstein, Stephen Cambone, Eliot Cohen, Devon
Gaffney Cross, Thomas Donnelly, David Epstein, David Fautua, Dan Goure, Donald
Kagan, Fred Kagan, Robert Kagan, Robert Killebrew, William Kristol, Mark Lagon,
James Lasswell, I. Lewis Libby, Robert Martinage, Phil Meilinger, Mackubin
Owens, Steve Rosen, Gary Schmitt, Abram Shulsky, Michael Vickers, Barry Watts,
Paul Wolfowitz, and Rabbi Dov Zakheim.

It wasn’t Muslims who had a motive for employing a "Flight
Termination System
" to take control of EgyptAir
Flight 990 – a Boeing 767 –
on October 31, 1999 (after a bizarre coincidence in which "air
crash victims grief counselor
" Ed McLaughlin of the Family Enterprise
Institute was the
only person
to board the ill-fated plane in Los Angeles and get off at New
York), send it plunging into the Atlantic 60 miles south of Nantucket killing
all 217 on board, none of whom were Israelis but
33 of the casualties were
Egyptian army officers
including two Air Force brigadier generals and two
army major generals, and promote the concept of "Muslim
suicide pilots
" to a gullible public; it was Jews who would have needed to
conduct a trial run of electronically hijacking in-flight
Boeing
aircraft for their imminent false-flag terror operation that was to be blamed on
"Muslim suicide pilots / hijackers", with the EgyptAir Flight 990 "inquiry"
being

overseen by Zionist Jew Bernard Loeb
who had

Jewish translators
transcribe the cockpit recordings, and the FBI conducting
a

character assassination to smear
the alleged "suicidal" co-pilot.

It wasn’t Muslims who wrote in 1998 of a
"transforming event" rather like
"Pearl Harbor"
; it was
John Deutsch
, Ashton
Carter
and Philip
Zelikow
.

It

wasn’t a Muslim
who served as
Executive Director
of the 9/11 Commission
, whose expertise and job entailed
the creation
and maintenance of public myths or "presumptions"
, and who
confirmed that the Iraq
war had been for Israel’s benefit
; it was Philip Zelikow.

It wasn’t Muslims who published a paper in 1996 entitled
A Clean Break: A New
Strategy for Securing the Realm
, which mentioned "removing
Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq
" and introduced the concept of pre-emptive
strikes for which some phony

pretext
such as halting drug money or striking counterfeiting infrastructure
or "weapons of mass destruction" could be devised that Americans would
sympathise with; it was The Institute
for Advanced Strategic & Political Studies
(IASPS) of Jerusalem and
Washington which,
for new Israeli
Premier Benjamin Netanyahu
, discussed
how such a
policy would benefit Israel
.

It wasn’t a Muslim who, in a 1995 book, predicted that "if
the West doesn’t wake up to the suicidal nature of militant Islam, the next
thing you will see is militant Islam is bringing down the World Trade Center
";
it was Benjamin Netanyahu.

It wasn’t Muslim security officials who, in 1991, inspected the garage of a
Muslim shipping company in the World Trade Center and

concluded that the WTC garage was vulnerable to a car bomb
, two years before
the WTC
garage was in fact hit by a car bomb and the FBI were aware of the plot yet let
it go ahead
killing six people and injuring more
than a thousand, and ten years before the WTC was demolished

one week after the very same shipping company had moved out of the WTC
; it was
Israeli security officials and an
Israeli
shipping company
.

It wasn’t Muslims who

paid Ali al-Jarrah more than $300,000 for services rendered
, i.e., posing as
a "supporter" of the Palestinian cause while betraying his country to an enemy
state, and who was a cousin of Ziad al-Jarrah who was alleged to be one of
nineteen 9/11 "suicide hijackers"; it was Israel that paid this

Mossad asset
.

It wasn’t Muslims who 1) broadcast the pilot episode on March 4, 2001 of
The Lone

It wasn’t a Muslim who
said he’d seen

terrible pilot" and "a horrible accident"

MOST DISTURBING


Most Disturbing

 

 

Recently, in my letter About Anti
Semitism
http://tinyurl.com/yz4ggpo
, I mentioned that I
came across very disturbing publications. They are articles and statements by
Rabbis, imbued with a racism so sordid, that it reminds of the gloomy dark-ages
from which mankind had been distancing itself in past centuries.

 

I was left in a state of shock and
disbelief, and as I searched a little more, what I discovered and read, was
swelling from bad to worse, leaving me physically sick, nauseated and in an
utter state of disgust, shivering for days.

 

This may be difficult to read, but
please make the effort to look into it

“There
are two different and distinct entities: the human being, and the Jew who
is part of G-d”

..

“We
are a G-dly people, we have G-dly souls. Our place is in Heaven, in fact higher
than Heaven because Heaven is also a created place, and we are a part of G-d”

“The world wants leadership and who are they going to
look to for moral leadership if not the Jews?”

….

“We are to treat other Jews as Divine beings, because
that’s what they are”

(quotes by Rabbi Manis Friedman)
